Yeah ... I mean that Michael didn't send the Robsons a copy from his most personal album "HIStory" says much for me and his real relationship to Wade and his family.
Well to be fair, I had to buy the HIStory album in the store too, and I was a much better "friend" to Michael.
I only saw him twice, but I never stabbed him in the back!
I work in London and I heard Billie Jean being played loudly by a passing rickshaw with a couple in the back in Piccadilly Circus. Not only that but my workplace was also playing MJ's music in the canteen at lunch time. Yes the doc was bound to have some negative impact but it's no way as bad as what the media is trying to portray. The music lives on.
so true. And the ones who are talking noise ALREADY had bias views of MJ.
I would absolutely do that but on mobile (which is where I am on MJJC pretty much only) I can't find that button or option.
No worries. It was just a general notice, I wasn't aiming it at anyone specific.
Guys, there's this film available on a movie service app called Michael Jackson : Searching for Neverland.
Normally I check user reviews on IMDB to see if it could be worth my time. Problem is, since LN I can't trust IMDB anymore for that. Is this thing good at all?
I sadly find the post anymore where someone posted MJs puplic appearances from each year.
Can someone tell me puplic appearances from MJ in January 1990?
What dif MJ do in this month?
It is difficult to meet Michael in a Recording studio for the Dangerous album in January 1990 when the Recordings for the Dangerous album first begun many months later in June 1990!!

I thought Joy Robson did also testify in 2005.
Did I understand it wrong that she did testify in 2005?
She did, and her testimony is right under Robson's and Brett Barnes ("05-06-05 Joy Chantal Lizbeth Karlee").
Searching for Neverland was a Lifetime biographical movie based off of Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard's book about their time as Michael's bodyguards. It follows Michael's life from 2006-2009 but through the bodyguards' perspective. Navi plays Michael in the movie and he does an OK job (his accent becomes a bit noticeable at times). It's not a perfect movie but I'd rather watch it than LN or that crappy "Man in the Mirror" biopic.
I have opened the document but is really difficult to find her testimony there cause there are too many testimonys from different witneses in this long document.
Can you tell me the page number where Joy testimony starts?
Yeah I ended up watching it. It was decent indeed. I do wonder how accurate it is. Especially that part with Randy crashing the gate of MJ's first home in the film. It just seemed...out there, lol. And was that Wonderland stuff really true? That was going to be their next real home?
At the end of the day it's just a film, a biopic, I'm sure there's fiction in there. Like MJ being rather fond of that My Prerogative song. Sure, it's possible he really liked it, but for some reason I kinda doubt it too. And how he totally went crazy at that security camera inside the pool, maybe that did happen, but I couldn't take the over-acting seriously there.
Can somone who knows the court documemts help me with a pagenumber or tell me after which testimony Joy Robsons comes?
I hadn't found this forum yet when I came across this 3 part you tube thing where this comic artist who has worked for him, talking about Michael and what he knew him to be and also talks about a phone conversation he had with a mural friend of his that he shared with Macaulay. Did any of you post that on here already? He told a story that I think proves MJ is innocent and I felt this artist believes it does. Did anyone else watch that? I don't want to say what that conversation revealed in case it's too personal and this forum won't approve it. But it was about Michael and Lisa.
Can you please sent me the link in pm?
He started recording Dangerous (well... Decade at the time) mid 89.
Do you want an official MJ collectors label? Vote now!
If it's good enough for Elvis, it's good enough for Michael.

Hi folks, this attachment is about Contact Granicrete . (amazing Granicrete Countertops #8). It is a image/jpeg and the resolution of this file is 696 x 522. It's file size is just 53 KB.

Before speaking about Contact Granicrete . (amazing Granicrete Countertops #8), we'd prefer to speak about some tips on timber floor hues. Dim and black shades really are a preferred selection for performers' broadcasters, contemporary elegant and interiors. Contaminated if you choose a vintage search natural timber or traditional brown color that will be perfect. Colour detail and daring (different shades of red: maple and ash Jatoba or stained within the same colour) that's ideal for commercial decorations, workplaces along with other huge areas where a floor becomes a central part of the design.
Brown hot platinum and crimson wood hues will make your area comfortable. White and ground that is grey can make your bedroom spacious. Choose pure colored wood flooring in matt finish if the ability to cover a tiny reduction and scratches really are a must. Remember that the colors should enhance each other and contrast. The floor can't have equivalent shades as furniture.
Whilst the Granicrete Countertops photos and personal place manager can give of exactly what the remaining consequence might be a broad notion, there's no greater way to ascertain the color of the ground rather than looking at the sample location in natural light.

Brexit: What happens next?
After all four options voted on by MPs were rejected, the process is mired in further confusion.
Leave and remain protesters outside the Houses of Parliament, London, ahead of the latest round of debates in the House of Commons concerning Brexit issues.
April 1 2019 21:40 PM
MPs have again rejected a series of alternatives to Theresa May's Brexit deal.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/brexit-what-happens-next-37973521.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/9a36c/37973519.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_e873889e-360e-4d05-b042-adcb516f891b_1
A call for a customs union after Brexit was defeated by just three votes, a referendum on any deal was rejected by 12 votes, the Common Market 2.0 plan lost by 21 votes and cancelling Brexit to prevent a no-deal scenario was defeated by 101.
– Tuesday April 2
Theresa May has scheduled a five-hour Cabinet meeting instead of the usual 90 minutes. The first three hours will be a political Cabinet in the absence of civil servants – fuelling speculation the senior Tories will consider the prospect of a snap election, the timing of the Prime Minister's departure or the potential for ministerial resignations if there is a change in Brexit strategy.
– Wednesday April 3
Backbench MPs will again take charge of the Commons timetable to consider Brexit plans under Tory MP Sir Oliver Letwin's scheme to break the Parliamentary deadlock.
– Thursday April 4
After the latest round of indicative votes failed to produce a clear winner, Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said: "If the House were to agree a deal this week it may still be possible to avoid holding European parliamentary elections."
That could be an indication the Prime Minister might risk a fourth showdown on her Withdrawal Agreement in the hope that more Tory Eurosceptics will accept the choice is between her plan and a softer Brexit.
The Speaker has announced the results for today's #IndicativeVotes2.
(Ayes/Noes)
(C) Customs Union (273/276)
(D) Common Market 2.0 (261/282)
(E) Confirmatory public vote (280/292)
(G) Parliamentary Supremacy (191/292) pic.twitter.com/luvhO9NPdQ
— UK House of Commons (@HouseofCommons) April 1, 2019
– Wednesday April 10
An emergency summit of European Union leaders will consider any request by the UK for a longer delay to Brexit. To be granted a further postponement the Government will have to set out what purpose it would achieve and it will almost certainly involve taking part in the European elections.
– Friday April 12
The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on April 12 after MPs rejected the Prime Minister's deal last week.
– Thursday May 23
If Europe's leaders have agreed an extension to the Article 50 process, the UK will elect MEPs to the European Parliament.
The breakaway Independent Group of MPs has announced it intends to set up a fully fledged political party – Change UK – to fight the elections on a pro-EU platform.
Nigel Farage will seek to continue as an MEP, this time for the newly formed Brexit Party.
– Sunday June 23
Mrs May warned MPs before they rejected her deal that a long extension would "at least delay and could destroy Brexit".
Three years after the referendum, it is possible the UK will still be in the European Union, have newly elected MEPs and will be contributing to the Brussels budget.
– A general election?
The current make-up of the House of Commons has so far proved unable to agree on any Brexit plan so the Prime Minister could be tempted to call a snap election to break the deadlock.
But having promised not to lead the Tories into the scheduled 2022 election and then said she would quit before the next phase of the Brexit process, would her MPs allow her to fight another contest as leader?
And would a new election produce a decisive result to give whoever occupies Number 10 a majority to steer such a divisive issue through Parliament?
– A fresh referendum?
The call for another referendum was defeated by just 12 votes and campaigners seized on the fact it had more MPs voting in favour than any other option.
– A "soft" Brexit?
The narrow defeat for a customs union will increase pressure on Mrs May to move in favour of the measure.
But that would tear the Tory party apart and would be likely to result in Cabinet resignations as critics of the customs union believe it robs the UK of one of the major Brexit prizes – the ability to strike trade deals with countries such as the US.

Socio-emotional deficits are frequently reported in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with up to 85% of ADHD children presenting with a 'lack of awareness of the feelings of others'. Inappropriate social behaviour in children with ADHD may stem from a poor repertoire of social responses and a misunderstanding of the impact of their actions on others. These socio-emotional deficits may markedly impact upon the future of children with ADHD, since poor social relationships with peers are strong predictors and mediators of negative adult outcomes.


Reminders of Berlin's dark past are everywhere when you walk down the streets and alleys of this war-torn capital. Germany's memorial to its most famous military commander is one of them. Riddled with pockmarks, chips of stone were broken off the base of this monument by Allied bombs during the Second World War.
Otto von Bismarck died 41 years before the start of WWII, but he is still remembered and often hated as a militarist who brought Germany down the path ending in disastrous wars and millions of deaths.
This is a tribute to the martial spirit of the German people, defiled by the horrible results of that spirit which came forty years later, making it now an ironic comment on the folly of militarism and the hubris of people who staked so much national pride on ability to dominant their neighbors. A really mindblowing thing to see for someone with an interest in history.

"Men are useless and lazy at buying gifts!" says catalogue company
Women spend 13 hours finding the perfect Christmas present for husbands… who only spend FOUR hours on them in return
Christmas might be a time of giving, but it seems women are spending more time pondering what exactly to give than men are. At least when it comes to those who have children.
Mothers dedicate 13 hours and 23 minutes to choosing their partner the perfect presents, while fathers are only willing to spend four hours and 10 minutes on the task.
Perhaps as a result, over half of mothers (57 per cent) confess to being disappointed with Christmas gifts given by their husbands or boyfriends, and a quarter of them are now frantically dropping hints so as not to risk another poor show this year.
Source: Daily Mail, 10th December 2013
Christmas is just around the corner, and with it comes the opportunity to shower your special someone with affection, attention, and (most importantly) gifts. However, some of us are better at buying gifts than others – with men bringing up the rear, present-wise, due to their naturally lazy and unthoughtful nature.
It's actually quite a shame that men are so unequivocally useless, given how much effort women put into Christmas. Men ought to be ashamed of themselves, and ought to find some kind of way to raise their game when it comes to shopping for gifts…
Even more depressingly, one in ten women will be expected to wrap all of the presents that go under the tree… even their own, according to a survey of 1,000 mums and dads by Littlewoods…
To help men out, Littlewoods have compiled a list of what mothers really want, and it's topped with jewellery, perfume and handbags.
Oh, thank god for that then! Thank you, Littlewoods, for coming up with the perfect solution to the problem your own research convinced us exists.

"Men can't be trusted to dress themselves, women should take control!" says clothing retailer
It was a stereotype two-for-one in the Daily Mail recently, with the pair of equally-insulting ideas that women are bossy control freaks and men are incapable of making themselves remotely presentable:
Two thirds of women will try to change a new partner's appearance (and it only takes six months to morph him into Mr Right)
Women seeking the perfect partner are not looking for Mr Right – they want to find the man they can turn into Mr Right.
Two-thirds of women admit trying to transform their boyfriend's appearance, a study reveals.
They buy £500 worth of clothes and spend more than six months buffing and grooming their man – often to make him look more like their favourite celebrity.
More than a third (36 per cent) admit they were 'embarrassed and ashamed' to be seen in public with their boyfriend at the start of their relationship.
Source: Daily Mail, 31st October 2013
Were this genuine research, it may be worth speculating as to why the women in question would be dating men they were ashamed to be seen with – but we won't do that, because that's precisely what the PR team behind this story want you to do. Even counteracting nonsense in an article helps perpetuate the conversation, keeping the original article in the news or social media cycle.
As with so many Bad PR stories, the main message is the brand name in the story; the content is merely the delivery mechanism. I genuinely can't stress that enough – if you take one thing away from my blog, let it be that fact.
So, if discussing and dissecting the content of an article is often playing into the hands of the team who seeded the story in the first place, how do we counteract this kind of PR? Simple: by making it transparent. These stories exist only to get a brand name into the press without being as obvious as an advert; therefore their power can be taken away by highlighting that they really are nothing more than advertising. Specifically, in this case, for a clothing retailer:
Gary Kibble, from online retailer Littlewoods.com, which surveyed 2,000 women, said: 'It definitely shows the high standards we set for ourselves and the expectations we have for our relationships.'
Littlewoods, the catalogue and online retailer, think it's absolutely fine to sell clothing by perpetuating the stereotype of women changing their men, with the associated idea that a man can and should be 'changed' (even changed into 'Mr Right', as the article states). How much that means for women who feel their man isn't 'right' is something to be debated elsewhere, as is the patronising notion that men aren't 'right' unless they meet certain standards. Insulting stereotypes cut both ways, to the benefit of neither.
Still, they might help Littlewoods shift a few extra pairs of chinos, so it's all OK – right?
"Curvy size 16 women are happy – like Beyoncé!" says clothing retailer patronising size 16 women
Size DOES matter… and 16 is the magic number as its revealed that women wearing this dress size are the happiest
Size 16 women are the happiest and most comfortable in their own skin, according to a new study.
The research found 74 per cent are happy with their appearance – nearly twice as many as those who are size six (42 per cent).
It would seem curves make women more content, with size 16 women – like Marilyn Monroe – saying they have high body confidence, look good and feel comfortable.
And the study suggests you can forget the mantra 'being thin is the path to happiness'.
Source: Daily Mail, 24th October 2013
With the task of making women feel conscious about their bodies never far from the pages of the mainstream newspapers, at least this story is aimed at making women feel positive about their weight, right? Well, perhaps not everyone may think so:
Indeed, the research found 52 per cent of size six women would like to be curvier.
Even with starting point that women who are size six 'would like to be curvier', it's still a stretch to say that women who are size 16 are most comfortable in their skin. Still, at least they have good, positive role models:
It seems they would rather look like celebrity chef Nigella Lawson or pop star Beyonce, who top the list of curvy celebrities women most admired.
That would be the famously-size-16 singer Beyoncé, there.
So, which company is currently patronising women in the press?
Gary Kibble, Retail Brand Director at Littlewoods.com, said: 'It's great to see curvier real women are feeling empowered to embrace their body shape and feel good too.
'We've seen full-figured celebrities are confidently gracing the red carpet…
'…At Littlewoods.com, we understand it's important for women to feel happy in their appearance.'

Here's an interesting idea….or two…..
The first idea is pretty obvious, once you think about it….but it hadn't ever occurred to me before. All of those still life paintings, and domestic scenes in Dutch painting of the 17th century are a direct result of the Protestant Reformation. The Biblical scenes and the saints were left to the Catholics. The Protestants, and the humanists, had to find new material.
John pointed out that Siri Hustvedt, in Mysteries of the Rectangle, hypothesizes that this is a coded Annunciation painting. I find that a fascinating idea.
As with all of Vermeer's painting (all being a mere 36 in known existence) light, perspective, shadow, framing and editing are paramount. The first time Ms Hustvedt saw this painting, she spent four hours looking at it. It's a hint, perhaps, of what we might see if we gave artworks more time and attention.

Do you need to improve your automotive product development, to increase efficiency, or to comply with ASPICE and Functional Safety?
You are at the right place.
The Underwriter: The Unlikely, Temporary Superhero For Automotive Safety
#Functional Safety #Automotive SPICE #Management Consulting
In a classic scene from the 2004 Pixar film The Incredibles, Mr. Incredible
(played by Craig T. Nelson) is forced into hiding and as his secret identity must work
for an insurance executive played by Gilbert Huph) who fits the stereotypical,
money-grubbing villain caring little about the safety of the
individual. Insurances executives are not-so-subtlety reinforced
as the antithesis of superheroes.
But – staying with the superhero theme – the auto industry now seems to be in Bizarro World, where the insurance underwriters are the only ones starting to act
as watchdogs for functional safety and risk management.
Let's start, though, by understanding what's normally done, what's driving the industry towards bad behavior and then understand how the unlikely hero is protecting us all.
The Long-Standing Best Practices
WATCHDOG #1: The automotive industry has matured during 150 years of development when it comes to safety. There were a tremendous number of successes, but the incremental grabs for more money and marketshare naturally birthed a few industry overseers to protect against bad behavior. For instance, Transport Canada was founded in 1935 to develop regulations, policies and services for all transportation in Canada, including the roads. In 1947, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was established, and 1967 the United States created its version for roadways: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). All of these organizations (and a few more) create the foundation of regulations upon which the automotive manufacturers create their safety-relevant products.
WATCHDOG #2: In addition, several countries have another larger, even-more-effective safety net for the end user: litigation and punitive damages. Depending upon the continent, engineers and/or companies have a legally-enforced burden per precedents in ruling to provide functional safety designs that include "state-of-the-art" technology and associated design practices that are economically practical. For instance, in 1971 Garst v. General Motors, the first two paragraphs of this ruling set precedence in law that 1) the manufacturer must show reasonable care in the design of its products including alternatives known at the time, and that they are not required to design products "… so that they are foolproof or incapable of producing injury."
WATCHDOG #3: Building upon those rulings, standards bodies such as the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have created Functional Safety standards such as ISO 26262, titled "Road Vehicles – Functional Safety", which created a methodical, lengthy, iterative process to define hazards, risks and associated safety concepts. Manufacturers force suppliers to meet this standard to avoid risks being built into underlying designs. They are known as the state of the art practices, so in tandem with Watchdog #2 they create the basis for the prosecution's Council to ask the defendant's executive in front of the jury, "Why weren't you following the standard practice?"
The Race Begins
Those watchdogs worked well in the era of minimal disruption that rarely went beyond "Should we have four cupholders or five?" However, automotive is going through several, massive evolutions right now, which has brought seventy (70) such start-ups per last week's count. That market upheaval is creating two macrotrends that are fueling bad behavior:
MACROTREND #1: In February of 2020, Wired Magazine reported that investors had "hit the brakes" on automotive startups with 130 fewer venture capital deals in 2019 as compared with 2018 resulting in $25.2B less in investment. "Now, "the experimental money and access to easy money is gone" in the automotive industry, said Ted Serbinski, an executive at Techstars Detroit. However, as the previous administration would say, that was 'fake news'. Investment in electric vehicles has soared in the past six months with companies since analysts like the Motley Fool say, "The best electric car company stocks of 2020 were generally those that were already producing electric cars for sale, as opposed to [traditional automakers]." Therein, a flood of investment dollars await the start-ups who show they can be nimble and differentiate. For many of these companies spawning from China or Silicon Valley, rigor is the antithesis of nimble, and cashflow allows additional development, which enables extra differentiation, which fuels the circular behaviors.
MACROTREND #2: Governing bodies recognize that innovation is happening at a rate that far outpaces their monolithic, glacial pace. Regulations take forever to change (e.g., woman's suffrage happened decades ago, but regulations about using female crash dummies in the driver's seat still hasn't happened). So regulation bodies have switched from being prescriptive watchdogs to, at times, providing "best practices"; sometimes as handsoff as suggesting those same standards that were from Watchdog #3 above. For instance, NHTSA just called for public comment again in January for it to update its Cybersecurity Best Practices despite Senators Markey (D-Mass) and Blumenthal (D-Conn) publicly calling them out twelve months prior about the "deafening silence" from NHTSA in response to demonstrated vehicle hacks.
Less rigor. Less oversight.
The Unlikely Hero
If the government isn't thwarting start-ups upfront and the downstream threat of losing settlements on yet-to-be-realized money isn't motivating, then who is minding the store?
The answer: insurance companies.
Liability coverage costs money and must be assessed based upon risk. The riskier you are, the more you pay. And given that autonomous vehicles will supposedly eliminate or reduce the severity of 94% of crashes, those insurance companies need to recoup their money somehow.
The hiccup, though, is underwriters must build a case based upon analytics, which is tough to do wi th these neophyte entrants into a disruptive environment. Imagine there's a start-up autonomous supplier for commercial trucks that's wholly ignored the state of the art for functional safety. Certainly the underwriter wants to charge them extra, but cannot easily calculate that risk based upon statistical analysis of previous claims for that segment.
So our temporary superhero now employs her special power: audits. The startups are being pulled in front of expert assessors that are suddenly flagging the missing rigor, unveiling the hidden risks and providing the Pavlovian punishment of higher fees.
Are those financial punishments foiling all the villainous behavior? No. One superhero cannot do it all. As Mr. Incredible said it best, "No matter how often you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again."
Hopefully, though, our superhero can save a few of us.

Q: How to use stdint types with _tprintf in Visual Studio 2013? Take the following example:
char* fileName = "C:\\windows\\system32\\kernel32.dll";
uint32_t fileSize = 1163264;
printf("The size of %s is %"PRIu32"\n", fileName, fileSize);

Everything is fine, now if we want transparent unicode support via tchar.h the code would look like this:
TCHAR* fileName = _T("C:\\windows\\system32\\kernel32.dll");
uint32_t fileSize = 1163264;
_tprintf(_T("The size of %s is %")_T(PRIu32)_T("\n"), fileName, fileSize);

This works if unicode is not defined. However, if unicode is defined the compiler aborts with the following error:
error C2308: concatenating mismatched strings
Concatenating wide "The size of %s is %l" with narrow "u"

Now looking at Microsoft's inttypes.h I see:
...
#define _PFX_32  "l"
...
#define PRIu32       _PFX_32 "u"

Which means that the _T(PRIu32) in the above example resolves to:
_T("l" "u")

... which cannot work of course and explains the correct compiler error.
Thus my question is how did Microsoft imagine that we use their inttypes.h defines with _tprintf ?

A: According1  to the current C standard, only one of the character sequences (read as: a string) must be prefixed by a an encoding prefix, and the rest of them are treated to have the same prefix, and are concatenated into a single string.
The encoding prefix is determined by the _T macro. It will resolve to nothing, if UNICODE is not defined, otherwise it will prepend L to the argument.
The solution would be to use the _T macro on the first string, no macro on the rest, and they will use the same encoding:
_tprintf(_T("The size of %s is %") PRIu32 "\n", fileName, fileSize);

But the Visual Studio version you're using isn't C99 compliant, so this feature is missing. It seems this was fixed in Visual Studio 2015.
The same usage is demonstrated in the example2  in the standard.

1 (Quoted from: ISO/IEC 9899:201x 6.4.5 String literals 5)
In translation phase 6, the multibyte character sequences specified by any sequence of
adjacent character and identically-prefixed string literal tokens are concatenated into a
single multibyte character sequence. If any of the tokens has an encoding prefix, the
resulting multibyte character sequence is treated as having the same prefix; otherwise, it
is treated as a character string literal. Whether differently-prefixed wide string literal
tokens can be concatenated and, if so, the treatment of the resulting multibyte character
sequence are implementation-defined.
2 (Quoted from: ISO/IEC 9899:201x 7.8.1 Macros for format specifiers 7)
wprintf(L"The largest integer value is %020" PRIxMAX "\n", i);

Austrian summer tourism largely depends on German and Austrian guests
Vienna, 2020-05-06 – Around two thirds of overnight stays in Austria in summer 2019 were accounted for by German and Austrian guests, as Statistics Austria reports. The share of resident guests in relation to the total of 79 million nights spent in the period from May to October 2019 amounted to 29.5%, guests from Germany accounted for 37.4% and guests from all other countries 33.1%. In 2019, half (49.3%) of all nights spent in the summer season took place in the main season in July and August, around a quarter each in the pre-season months May and June and the post-season months September and October. The western Austrian Laender Vorarlberg and Tyrol are highly dependent on the German market.
Western Austria is the engine of the tourism industry
Half of all nights spent in the summer season 2019 (50.7%) took place in the western Austrian Laender Tyrol (28.0%), Salzburg (17.4%) and Vorarlberg (5.3%). While these regions depend to a large extent on German guests (54.8%, 40.9% and 58.4% of all summer overnight stays in 2019 in the respective Austrian Laender), resident tourists dominate in eastern parts of the country such as Burgenland (nights spent share: 73.5%), Lower Austria (62.3%), Styria (60.4%) and also Upper Austria (52.1%). In contrast, in the capital Vienna, 63.1% of all nights spent were due to markets other than Germany and Austria.
In summer 2019, almost three quarters of the 29.5 million nights spent by guests from the most important country of origin, Germany, were in Tyrol (41.1%), Salzburg (19.1%) and Carinthia (12.1%). The third most important market of origin (after Germany and Austria) – the Netherlands – contributed almost 4 million nights spent to the overall result in the 2019 summer season. Almost 80% of all nights spent by Dutch guests took place in Tyrol (40.0%), Carinthia (20.3%) and Salzburg (18.0%). Guests from Switzerlandand Liechtenstein particularly liked to spend nights in Tyrol (52.8% of Swiss summer nights spent).
Styria and Carinthia are particularly popular with resident tourists
In summer 2019, resident guests accounted for 23.3 million of the nights spent in Austria. The most popular destination of Austrian residents was Styria, almost one fifth of all nights spent by resident tourists took place in this federal state (19.1%), followed by Carinthia (16.7%), Salzburg (13.8%), Lower Austria (12.6%), Upper Austria (12.0%) and Tyrol (10.0%).
Residents from Vienna spent 5 million nights in Austria in summer 2019, more than half of them in Styria (20.8%), in Lower Austria (18.0%) and Carinthia (16.8%). Guests from Lower Austria mainly preferred their own region (19.8%), followed by Styria (19.2%).
One fifth of the total nights spent (23 million) by resident guests in Austria in summer 2019 came from Vienna (21.5%), followed by Lower Austria (19.9%), Upper Austria (17.1%) and Styria (14.6%). Upper Austrians recorded the highest proportion of summer overnight stays in their own region (38.6% of nights spent in Upper Austria), followed by guests from Vorarlberg (28.3% of nights spent in their own region) and Styrians (24.9%).
One third of the nights spent take place in top-class hotels
In summer 2019, about 1.1 million beds in 65 000 accommodation establishments were available for guests in Austria. 27.7 million nights spent (35.1%) took place in hotels of the 4/5-star-category, followed by 3-star hotels (20.3%). However, the highest growth rates in the last few seasons were recorded in commercial holiday apartments, chalets and apartments (+8.3% with a share of 7.4% of the nights spent).
The majority of Austrian accommodation establishments are still managed as private accommodation (a total of around 44 000 of the 65 000 establishments). For these private accommodations 11.4 million nights spent were counted which is 14.4% related to the total of the summer season 2019.
Almost 10% of the overnight stays take place in campsites
On campsites, particular relevant in the summer season, about 6.3 million nights spent were registered in summer 2019, which is a share of 8.0%. About three quarters (74.1%; 4.7 million) are due to non-resident guests, 25.9% are related to resident guests (1.6 million).
Camping holidays are particularly important in Carinthia and in Burgenland. In summer 2019, about one quarter of the total nights spent was due to camping guests in Carinthia (24.1%), in Burgenland about 15.9%.
For further information please refer to the German version.
Information on methods: Within the scope of the monthly overnight statistics, the arrivals and nights spent are provided by rented tourist accommodation establishments in communities with more than 1 000 nights spent per year. Thus, of the 2 095 Austrian communities, 1 566 reporting communities transmit data to Statistics Austria monthly. The survey units are commercial and private tourist accommodation establishments, which transmit their data to the relevant reporting community by means of "Statistisches Meldeblatt" or "Betriebsbogen" (for further information related to the methodology see "Standarddokumentation").
The touristic winter season is from November to April, the summer season from May to October.

Causes of a Business Cycle
Business Technology & Customer Support
Impact of Customer Service
By Cindy Phillips
The Effects of Tightening Monetary Policy
Business Cycle Objectives and Summary
Economic Business Cycle Indicators
The Difference Between Seasonal Economic Fluctuations & Cyclical Economic Fluctuations
The Cost of Borrowing & Inflation
Similar to an amusement park roller coaster, economic trends have ups and downs. When the economy is flourishing, productivity is up and unemployment is down. But when the economy takes a dip, unemployment numbers rise as demand for products and services decreases. These ups and downs are known as economic booms and recessions, and the ebb and flow is referred to as a business cycle.
Economic Disturbances
A disturbance to the economy impacts the rate of employment. For example, during war, the demand for materials to fight the war increases, resulting in increased employment. The increased employment translates to an increase in spending, both publicly and privately. When people are spending more, the need for products and services rises as well. Conversely, if spending decreases, so does the need for production. A curtailment of government spending or a wave of pessimism among consumers results in an economic downturn or a recession.
When the Federal Reserve makes a move that affects the size and growth rate of the money stock, it impacts interest rates. A change in interest rates can affect business and consumer spending. Businesses may pull back building plans if overall costs rise as a result of the higher interest that now must be paid on loans. Likewise, consumers may postpone their purchases if they need to take a loan out. If interest rates come down, consumer and business spending likely will increase because of lower overall costs. The demand for products will increase, and more workers will be needed for production.
Supply Shocks
When the availability of raw materials comes into question, a downturn in the business cycle may result. Natural disasters, weather events or international conflicts are all likely culprits in this scenario. Conflicts in the Middle East affect oil and gas production, while hurricanes and earthquakes disrupt the flow of raw materials needed for production in certain manufacturing sectors. Similarly, new technology and innovation can lead to the obsolescence of older or outdated products. The demand for the new technology rises, while workers are displaced because the manufacturing of the obsolete items comes to an end.
The term "cycle" can be misleading when referring to a business cycle. A cycle typically flows and ebbs with some regularity, like a tide. But business cycles can occur for a number of reasons and at any time, and the duration can fluctuate. Analysts measure a cycle beginning with the first signs of change in economic activity. The peak of the cycle is the last month before key economic indicators start to drop. The indicators include employment, production output and retail sales. The trough of the cycle is the last month before these same indicators begin to rise again. Certain modern-day economists prefer to use the term "short-run economic fluctuations" as opposed to saying business cycles.

React 16 is here, and a lot of new features have been introduced. One of these features is Error Boundaries.
As you probably have experienced - errors that occur in the frontend have a tendency to propagate across the whole app, leaving it broken in an uncontrolled manner.
With error boundaries we now got an easy way of controlling errors happening when rendering React components.
How can Error Boundaries help us to take control of errors?
An error boundary is simply a react component. By wrapping other components in an error boundary we'll get the chance to act on errors that propagate from these components during rendering.
This way we can take control of the error handling of different parts of the application. Error boundaries help us isolate the problems however we want. With the help of these boundaries we could end up with one part of the UI being perfectly fine, while other parts ending up using fallbacks.
This results in resilient applications which will give a better user experience.
Creating an error boundary is easy. All we have to do is to define the new lifecycle method componentDidCatch in a react component.
This lifecycle will be triggered if any errors occur during rendering of the child components. This way we can limit the impact and create a fallback for the components within the boundary.
Now that we know what we're dealing with, let's implement an error boundary.
As you can see, we got componentDidCatch and render defined.
In componentDidCatch we simply set an error boolean in the state. Then we make sure to check the state for any errors in the render method to see if we should render the fallback message - "Something went wrong!".
That's it! Now we can limit the damages if any error occurs.
Now that we got our error boundary defined, let's start using it.
Say we got two main components in our UI - LeftComponent and RightComponent.
If an error occurs in one or the other component, we want to limit the damages by showing a user friendly error message for the failed component. The component that renders successfully should be unaffected.
To do this, we wrap each of the components with the error boundary we created earlier.
Done! Now, if an error is triggered in either LeftComponent or RightComponent, the error will be encapsulated and handled by the error boundary it's wrapped inside.
You should try to keep the error boundary component stripped of as much logic as possible. Why? Because it only catches errors in child components. This means that errors occuring in the code of the error boundary itself will propagate to an outer error boundary.
So try to keep the error boundaries focused on the task it's actually made for.
Error boundaries is a critical part to get right. Because of this, it could be a good idea to only have it declared once in your application.
But how can we keep only one error boundary implementation and still have different fallback for different components?
Because of Reacts composable nature it's easy to make small reusable parts, which makes it trivial to extract every aspect of the error boundary we want to customise, but leaving the essential mechanisms of the error boundary.
Going back to our example of LeftComponent and RightComponent, say we want to have a custom fallback UI for each of the components but we want to keep the lifecycle and the error check inside the one error boundary declaration.
We could solve this by modifying our error boundary into a higher order component.
Now that we got a higher order component, let's use it to create error boundaries for LeftComponent and RightComponent with customized fallbacks.
As you can see, Error Boundaries is a simple way to get control of your errors. It's easy to use and aligns well with the composable nature of React.


Our August 14 G/29 tournament included six players rated 2000 or higher in either USCF or FIDE. NM Eric Rosen prevailed with 4.5 for 5, slipping past Evgeny Bulushev, Dmitri Sergatskov and Jonathan Kogen, who each had four points.
Congratulations and welcome to Bulushev, who played his first USCF-rated games and finished the event with a 2032 provisional quick rating. Bill Brock was next in line, with 3.5 points that included a draw with Rosen.
Special notice further down the crosstable goes to Jiedong Duan, who scored 2.5 for 5 and picked up 139 quick rating points.
Thanks to house players Bruce Potratz, Brad Rosen and Jiri Kabelac for keeping our rounds even.
FM Aleksandar Stamnov narrowly won the Alpha section with a 2.5/3.0 score. Close behind Stamnov in second place were experts Matthew Waller and Lawrence Cohen with 2 points each.
James Freestrom scored a perfect 3.0/3.0 for the day, playing two players in the Alpha Section and one player in the Bravo section, to pick up 39 rating points. Also excelling in the Bravo section was Bradley Guan, who went 2.5 for 3.0 for a gain of 78 rating points.
In the Charlie section, Michael Wishner also went 3 for 3, including a cross-section win against a Bravo-section player, and pushed his rating back up above 1300 in the process. Greg Divinsky and Alfonso Andrade had the next best scores in the section, each with 2 points.
Special mention goes to Keith Ammann, who played in the Charlie section and gained 128 rating points for the day.
NM Jon Burgess was the only player with a perfect score going into the last round of yesterday's Rapid, but he lost his game with Jonathan Kogen. That allowed Kogen, Matthew Pullin, Isaac Braswell, Jeremy Hershey-Nexon and Leo Vilker to grab as share of first place.
All six finshed four wins, one loss, no draws. Kogen lost his second round game against Adit Ghosh, and Braswell lost to Ghosh in the third. Pullin lost to Burgess in the forth round. Hershey-Nexon dropped his third round game against Pullin. Vilker went down to Ranadip Bose in the first, giving us another example of the "Swiss Gambit".
On Sunday, April 18th 2010, some of the Evanston Chess Club regulars had a chess match with members of the Touch Move Chess Club. The match took place at the Touch Move Club located at 5639 N. Ashland Ave. in Chicago, Illinois.
IM Angelo Young, proprietor of the TMCC, was captain for that team and Tim Grassel was captain for the ECC players. Thanks guys!
The alternates also played to a draw.
How is that for close? Thanks to everybody who had a hand in making this happen, as one player stated, "We had a blast."
Gold Section (1700+)Expert Isaac Braswell took first place with 3.5/4.0. FM Alexsandar Stamnov and Dmitri Sergatskov tied for second after Sergatskov won thier fourth round game.
Mark Spitzig and Alexander Martin tied for first with 3.5/4.0 each. Jayce Feiger and Dane Bell tied for third with 3.0/4.0 each.

De MIM-104 Patriot (acroniem voor Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept On Target) is een middellange-afstand-luchtafweersysteem van het Amerikaanse Raytheon. Het wapen werd vooral bekend door het gebruik tijdens de Golfoorlog van 1990-1991.

Vanaf 1984 heeft het bij de NAVO-troepen geleidelijk het verouderde HAWK-systeem vervangen. Patriot-systemen zijn door  de fabrikant geleverd aan de Verenigde Staten, Marokko, Nederland, Duitsland, Japan, Israël, Saoedi-Arabië, Koeweit, Taiwan, Griekenland, Spanje, Zuid-Korea en de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten. Door tweedehands verkoop en terbeschikkingstelling zijn de systemen nu ook in gebruik in Polen, Jordanië, en Egypte.

Het Patriotsysteem
De ontwikkeling van het Patriot-raketsysteem begon in de jaren 60. Vanaf 1976 werd het specifiek aangepast voor luchtdoelen. In 1984 werd het systeem operationeel. De raket die toen in gebruik was, was de DIGITAL missile. In 1988 werd de technologie geüpgraded naar de zogenoemde PAC-generaties (patriot advanced capability). De eerste verbetering betrof de SOJC (Stand-Off Jammer Configuration, PAC-1) die geoptimaliseerd was voor onderschepping op grote afstand van vliegtuigen met stoorzenders. Vlak voor de Golfoorlog van 1990-1991 werd de ATM (Anti Tactical Missile, PAC-2) in gebruik genomen, die geschikt was voor het onderscheppen van ballistische raketten. Omdat na de Golfoorlog bleek dat de ATM's zeer matig gepresteerd hadden, werd er een ontwerpverbetering doorgevoerd die bekend is onder de naam GEM (Guidance Enhanced Missile).

Doordat de dreiging van ballistische raketten in de wereld steeds groter wordt geacht, heeft de Amerikaanse overheid de industrie opdracht gegeven een hit-to-kill-raket te ontwikkelen, dat wil zeggen een raket die het doelwit vernietigt door ertegen aan te vliegen. Raytheon (de fabrikant van de originele DIGITAL- tot en met GEM-generaties) stelde een verbeterde versie van de GEM-raket voor, Lockheed Martin kwam met een volledig nieuw ontwerp: de Patriot PAC-3. Het ontwerp van Lockheed Martin is uiteindelijk gekozen. De PAC-3 is bij de Verenigde Staten, Nederland, Duitsland en Japan in gebruik.

Het Patriotsysteem is opgebouwd rond acht gecombineerde transport- en lanceerinrichtingen. Elke lanceerder (launcher) kan tot vier raketten uit de DIGITAL- tot en met GEM-generatie vervoeren en afvuren. Er kunnen maximaal zestien PAC-3-raketten op een launcher geplaatst worden;vier canisters met elk vier raketten. Het systeem bevat verder een controlestation (ECS - engagement control station), een opsporingsradar en een antennegroep. Het systeem gebruikt track-via-missile-besturing en active radar homing.

De minimale inzet van een mobiel lanceerstation omvat een lanceerinstallatie, radarstation, vuurleidingscentrale en een generator. Een normale inzet omvat 25 voertuigen met een mix van Standard- en PACIII-raketten aan boord.

Gebruikers

Nederland is samen met Duitsland, Spanje, Griekenland en de Verenigde Staten een van de NAVO-landen die beschikken over het Patriot-luchtverdedigingssysteem. De Patriots zijn onderdeel van het Defensie Grondgebonden LuchtverdedigingsCommando (DGLC). De Nederlandse Patriots maken gebruik van zowel de oudere GEM-raket als de moderne PAC-3-raket. In totaal beschikt Nederland over een squadron met drie firing units.
In december 2022 zegden de Verenigde Staten toe om MIM-104 Patriot-luchtafweer te leveren aan Oekraïne.

Raket

Het Patriotsysteem kan twee rakettypen afvuren:
 DIGITAL, SOJC, ATM, GEM: voornamelijk ingezet tegen luchtdoelen (straaljagers en bommenwerpers).
 PAC-3: voornamelijk ingezet tegen ballistische raketten en kruisvluchtwapens.

De DIGITAL- tot en met GEM-raketten zijn 5,3 meter lang, wegen 900 kg en worden aangedreven door een raketmotor die een uitbrandsnelheid bereikt van Mach 5. Ze bevatten een 91 kg wegende springkop met een nabijheidsontsteker.

De PAC-3-raket is 5,2 meter lang, weegt 312 kg en wordt aangedreven door een raketmotor die een uitbrandsnelheid bereikt van Mach 5. De PAC-3 bevat geen springkop, maar schakelt het doel uit door er met hoge snelheid tegenaan te vliegen (hit-to-kill, of kinetic energy kill). De Lethality Enhancer heeft wel een springlading; het gaat er daarbij niet om dat de fragmenten een hogere snelheid hebben dan het projectiel zelf, maar dat de zijwaartse beweging de effectieve doorsnede en dus de trefkans vergroot. Hoogte; 15 kilometer bij een vliegbereik van circa 50 kilometer.

It was Kellan Lutz's birthday this weekend. So he celebrated at a cheesy party in Vegas. As you can see, he was not accompanied by a neck, and unfortunately no one thought to give him one. That's what my present to Kellan would have been: a neck. And if you could gift someone with the ability to not be so f-cking lameass, I would have bought him that too.
Bless him though for the comic relief he's providing us in the form of that curious little part that he's trying to make happen with one side of his hair.
I know it's a preference thing, the muscles and all, but if you can see them, the muscles, THROUGH A SWEATER, that sh-t ain't right.
Having said all that, in fairness to Kellan Lutz, he's making the most of his limitations. There's a body, and then there's not much else. I appreciate that he's not reading in trees anymore, not overreaching, that he has accepted that grunting on film may be his only viable contribution. Good job.

Nel 1846 entrò a far parte dell'esercito indiano.  Partecipò alla guerra dei Sikh (1848-49), servì durante la ribellione indiana del 1857, e fu ferito durante l'operazione di liberazione della città di Lucknow.

Ritornò in Inghilterra nel 1858, e nel 1860 si unì a John Hanning Speke nella spedizione che risolse il mistero della sorgente del Nilo.  La spedizione lasciò Zanzibar nell'ottobre del 1860 e raggiunse Gondokoro nel febbraio del 1863.  Speke era il capo spedizione, ma Grant portò avanti numerose ricerche indipendenti, anche nel campo della botanica.  Nel 1864 pubblicò, come compendio alla pubblicazione di Speke sul loro viaggio, A Walk across Africa, nel quale affrontava i temi della vita ordinaria, le abitudini e i sentimenti delle popolazioni indigene dei paesi visitati.

Nel 1865 Grant si sposò e tornò a vivere nella città di Nairn, dove morì nel 1892.

BRISTOL - Bartering for business services may not be new, but it is growing in popularity according to Barter Business Unlimited.
Small business owners who would rather trade merchandise or services instead of cash can do so through Barter Business Unlimited.
BBU offers services to best match one company with another company for the purpose of trading. BBU is at 105 Laurel St. and covers about 2,000 local businesses.
Joining BBU isn't just about joining one company. It's about having access to thousands more and finding just what is needed easily and efficiently.
After the customer pays a one-time fee to join BBU, a consultant from BBU will do an analysis on any current company purchases and offer projections for the future.
BBU has set up numerous companies with each other and even assisted in negotiations for those that request it. It also provides a line of credit so companies can get in on the trading scene immediately.
BBU has access to an online catalog or "shopping mall," where businesses can see who is asking and offering which products.
Their goal is to satisfy each of their client's needs without making them break the bank.
According to the BBU website: By bartering goods and services within the membership network, Barter Business Unlimited also helps businesses increase sales, build customer loyalty, and tap into new markets, all while conserving cash flow.
Businesses save needed cash reserves by using barter dollars earned from selling products or services to other member businesses. A business membership lets patrons purchase products direct from other businesses, such as media advertising, travel and entertainment and health and fitness opportunities; and other professional services, such as selling extra inventory.
Annual fairs and other events take place where company representatives can meet face-to-face. BBU even directly sends newsletters that feature a company's services to the clients that are interested in the same field.

Share your talents, background and expertise.I was self taught in the kitchen, but learned from a myriad of people and places: friends, family, restaurants I've worked at, voracious reading and independent culinary study and years of work in every kind of kitchen at various capacities. I've been a prep cook, a line cook, a kitchen manager, a home cook, and currently I blog about all kinds of food, focusing on clarity of technique and a healthy relationship with food. I also have a background in Biochemistry which gives me a detailed perspective on food, its nutrition and how each individual reacts.


Jan. 25, 2019 (ACP) – Two new bills in Congress aimed at firearms violence prevention reflect the American College of Physician's long-standing position on the issue.
Introduced in the House of Representatives in early January, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 aims to shore up loopholes in existing legislation and make it harder for dangerous individuals to get guns. For example, the bill would require that people must submit to background checks in order to buy firearms at gun shows, on the Internet or from classified ads. Current background check legislation exempts such sales.
The bill "would substantially improve the background check system and make important strides in improving public health by keeping guns out of the hands of those at risk of harming themselves or others," said Dr. Ana Maria López, ACP's president.
For instance, Doherty said that beyond what's included in the current bill, ACP also would favor closing other loopholes, such as prohibiting the purchase of firearms by people with a temporary domestic-violence-related restraining order (current law only prohibits sales to persons with permanent restraining orders) and requiring that they surrender existing firearms for the duration of the order. ACP also wants to prohibit sales and ownership of firearms by persons convicted of misdemeanor or felony domestic violence offenses directed at persons outside of their own household; current law only applies to offenses committed against a member of the same household.
Last week the Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2019 was introduced in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, this bill would fund the study of firearms violence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since 1996, the Dickie Amendment has barred the CDC from doing research to "advocate or promote gun control," but in 2018, Congress clarified that the amendment does not ban research. However, Congress has declined to provide funding for such research.
As such, the CDC is inhibited from conducting research into the causes of gun violence because it has no money to do so.
"There is no funding stream to support research unless they take support from other research activities—which could be problematic," Doherty explained. The new bill calls for monies to be allocated for such research in the next fiscal year, he said.
In addition, ACP has partnered with Giffords, a gun violence prevention organization founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was shot in the head at a rally in 2011 and has become a vocal advocate for firearms safety. The partnership, which includes a number of other medical and public health groups, is advocating for funding CDC to do research on firearms violence.
There's tremendous opportunity to get involved at the state level, he said.
For example, some states have enacted child protection laws that call for guns to be stored safely and separately from ammunition to reduce the risk of accidental shootings. ACP will be developing a resource kit for chapters with information on the status of such legislation in all states, along with sample legislation and other advocacy messaging tips to help members bring such laws to their states.
Members can also advocate even closer to home, Doherty said. Annals of Internal Medicine offers a pledge in which doctors promise to discuss firearms prevention injury with high-risk patients, including those with young children.

Very hot, but calm I'm finding it very difficult to eat, i have no appetite… getting a massage hopefully that will help.
after GWN i really need to back off.
a later start 10 am. the CBC TV did an interview after the swim. that took some time too. but the exposure is very important. the CBC crew were very good to talk to.
the swim felt so nice. good water. nice temperature. just felt good to move through the water and enjoy the moment.
two friends took turns riding with me on the bike. a bit windy today.
i getting a lot of people from all across canada contacting me. i hope they understand i can't reply to it all. i am very flattered and honoured by the well wishes and generous donations. and the stories i get are very moving and touching. i truly can relate. please keep them coming. i do read them.
normally i get excited for a big event like this. but this had to be treated like a training or i'd be screwed for the next day. it was another great morning . and no wind. i mentioned that this was a day the set bike course records. and i heard they were set.
i thought i swam well but my time was about 4 or 5 minutes off. oh well. i baked off on the bike. took it easy on the climbs. just under 3 hours. the run was painful. the day before caught up to me. and it was hot. hot enough the ambulance took away some athletes. in the end just under 7 hours.
i hope i left enough in the bank.
storybook morning. calm. warm beautiful.
the swim went very well. steady not to hard. we took our time getting our wetsuits off and our bikes ready.
took it easy on the bike. i was a bit stiff after a bit over 3 hours. but i felt pretty good.
now the dreaded run. i've been fighting one injury or another for years it seems like. it rained a bit with 7 km to go. but the cool drops felt good. i walked up the hills.
but its done. day 1 is in the books.
87 more legs to go. 29 days.
i'm so sore. what have i got myself into?
i have to get up at 4 am to be at hubbles lake for the great white north half iron race in time.
i have to express extreme thanks to Laura Johnston. she did the entire day with me. She is so awesome. she is a nutritionist too and is giving lots of good advise.
by the way if anyone is interested my day can be tracked on strava.
i think there are lots of pictures on facebook.
Twas the Night before a month of half ironmans. another way to look at it – 15 ironmans in one month.
i think everyone is more nervous than i am.
i"m not as fit as I'd like to be. but i'm ready as can be. I'm ok with that.
bit of a logistical challenge doing a half iron at the same time set up for Great white North the next day.
much thanks to everyone who is helping with this.

Who Actually Uses Long-Distance Sex Toys?
You can't get much more socially distant than remote-controlled intimacy
Phone sex has come a long way
We-Vibe/Getty
By Zachary Zane @ZacharyZane_
If ever there were a time for long-distance sex toys to shine, it would be right now.
It's obvious why. Since March, some of us have been away from our partners for weeks if not months at a time, while those of us who were single when the pandemic hit went from an active sex life to an active imagination.
Longing for physical connection — either with a partner who's quarantined in another state or a stranger we've been flirting with on Hinge — some of us have turned to technology: specifically, long-distance sex toys … or at least that's what they're called in theory.
With long-distance sex toys (a category that includes a variety of products, from dildos to butt plugs), partners can stimulate one another from a distance, usually by using an app on their phone. Sure, it's not the same as having sex IRL, but if the makers behind the growing catalogue of sex toys that can be operated from a COVID-safe distance are to be believed, it's far better than masturbating alone or even watching your partner masturbate via FaceTime.
"Adding sex toys to the mix gives these virtual encounters a little more meat and potatoes, allowing partners to satisfy each other while staying apart," says Daniel Saynt, founder and chief conspirator of the members-only sex club New Society for Wellness (NSFW).
The logic checks out, but one question remains: Who, if anyone, is actually using this shit? Despite seeing the potential value, I've long been skeptical of the idea that people are going to put in the effort to buy a long-distance sex toy, set up a time to use it with a partner, and then actually follow through with it. It seems like a lot of work just to have your partner control your dildo's vibration for six minutes.
While sex-toy sales have boomed during the pandemic, the stats don't tell us much about long-distance sex toy sales specifically, so I reached out to We-Vibe for numbers. All of the company's products utilize the We-Vibe Connect app, allowing users to engage in long-distance play. Denny Alexander, Head of Communications (Americas) at We-Vibe's parent company, WOW Tech, informed me that between March and July of this year, We-Vibe sales were up approximately 168 percent from 2019. Typically, the company forecasts much more modest growth year over year, between five and 10 percent.
This growth doesn't necessarily indicate that folks are actually using their toys for long-distance play, however. While We-Vibe is well known for its couples' toys, their products are also built for solo play, meaning many consumers who contributed to the pandemic run on sex toys could have simply bought them for personal use.
Retailer Loverspackage.com gave me a breakdown of We-Vibe sales by product on their site, revealing that couple's vibrator We-Vibe Sync was up only 64 percent, compared to more solo-centric toys like G-spot stimulator We-Vibe Rave, up 2,384 percent, and prostate massager We-Vibe Vector, up 1,676 percent. This could indicate that single folks have been buying more sex toys than couples, though sales data can't tell us whether or not consumers are sharing those toys with long-distance partners once they've purchased them.

However, there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest some pandemic masturbators have indeed been taking advantage of their toys' long-distance capabilities.
Grace, 24, started using long-distance sex toys in April at the recommendation of one of her partners. She bought the Lovense Lush vibrating egg and has used it with multiple people, including partners she was seeing before the pandemic as well as new folks she's been chatting with online since coronavirus hit. She likes that long-distance toys can add a physical aspect to an otherwise virtual sexual experience. "It's also exciting for me to give control over to another person. Virtual play is much more exciting when you can't be sure what's going to happen next," she says.
Since March, Grace has been leaning into exhibitionism a bit more — sending more nudes and attending virtual sex parties. She's found that long-distance sex toys have further enabled this new curiosity. "I have given control of my toy to partners when they cannot see me, but it is especially fun to use the toy when my partner (and maybe some other people) can see how it affects me," she says.
Gregory, 29, bought his first long-distance sex toy (Lovense's Hush butt plug) the day before the shutdown hit New York. "It was 100% in response to COVID," he says. "I decided to dial back the in-person hookups and opt for safer methods of play." He has a few "buddies" he uses it with — about 2-3 times a week at the beginning of lockdown, though less often now.
"Mostly, I like how kinky it is," he says. "I put my butt plug in and make myself available for the people I give access to, so they can have their way with me."
This "kinky" aspect seems to be a primary reason why many people use and enjoy long-distance sex toys. Instead of using them to connect with a partner you're no longer seeing in the flesh, long-distance sex-toy users seem to other elements: exhibitionism, surprise and even dominance/submission with remote sex partners they may have never even met in real life.
John, 28, is the only person I spoke to who had been using long-distance sex toys since before the pandemic, starting back in 2016.
John loves the "dom/sub situation, where you're not in control at all," he says. "There have been moments where I've been out in public with a guy and will give him a quick zap to remind him he's wearing a vibrator in his butt. There is a total kinky and fun aspect to this."
Clearly, I approached this all wrong. The question isn't really "Who uses long-distance sex toys?" It's "Why?" While long-distance sex toys are, in theory, a way to connect with your long-term partner while the two of you quarantine separately, in practice, it seems like they're getting the most use among people with multiple partners who are looking for a sense of novelty and excitement amid the sexual tedium of COVID.
And who can blame them? Even masturbation, it seems, has lost its luster in the many months of quarantine. But the idea of having a partner pleasure you with a toy or sleeve they manipulate from afar? I think we all could get into that — for a little while, anyway.
