Clinc takes aim at Siri — and IPO — with $52 million investment
Tom Henderson
CLINC INC.
Jason Mars, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan, is president and CEO of Clinc Inc.
Clinc Inc., an Ann Arbor-based company that uses artificial intelligence to allow companies to more easily interact with their customers, has closed on a venture capital funding round of $52 million, the company said Monday. It's the latest in a string of large investments in growing technology companies in Michigan.
The series B funding round is aimed at getting the company to an initial public offering of stock by 2022 as the company tries to take communicating with computers a step beyond Apple's Siri.
In 2017, Clinc raised an A round of $6.3 million, following seed funding of $1.2 million in 2016. The company was founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Jason Mars, the president and CEO, and Lingjia Tang, the COO, along with Michael Laurenzano, the CTO, and Johann Hauswald, the chief product officer.
Both are assistant professors at the University of Michigan and run their own research group there, the Clarity-Lab, clarity being short for cross-layer architectures and run times in 10 years. The group designs the scalable architecture needed to support future artificial intelligence applications.
Clinc developed and markets Finie, a Siri-like voice-controlled app originally intended for financial institutions. It has since expanded its customer base to include Ford Motor Co. and is targeting health care, travel and hospitality, the gaming industry and quick-service restaurants.
This round includes investors on the East and West coasts, further verification that Michigan has begun to shed its reputation as a flyover state. The round was led by a new investor, New York-based Insight Partners, and joined by another new investor, Menlo Park, Calif.-based DFJ Growth Management LLC, and by two existing investors, Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital and Chicago-based Hyde Park Venture Partners.
Evan Dougherty/Michigan Engineering
Lingjia Tang, assistant professors of electrical engineering and computer science at Michigan Engineering, is a co-founders of Clinc, an A.I. personal assistant startup in Ann Arbor.
Insight Partners was founded in 1995 and has more than $20 billion of assets under management and has invested in more than 300 companies worldwide. DFJ Growth is a subsidiary of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, one of the legendary early VC companies in Silicon Valley.
"This is a key milestone for us. My intention is for this to be the last milestone before we have an IPO," Mars said in a telephone call Friday from China, where he opened a small sales office at the end of last year.
He said he plans to have an initial public offering in 2022.
"It's been quite a crazy journey," Mars said. "The rate at which we have been able to scale this business, it's nuts. Clinc is on a mission to achieve the impact we set out to have on the world. You look at Siri, or Alexa or Google Assist, and there's been such a stagnation in the market. The market is ready for the next level of interaction between people and machines."
The company claims that Finie is able to understand what it calls unstructured and unconstrained speech and interprets semantics, intent and the underlying meaning of user queries. A customer can use Finie to ask a bank to transfer $500 from savings to checking, or to ask for a replacement credit card to be mailed.
Or when a warning light on a dashboard of a Ford car comes on, instead of pulling over and looking it up in the owner's manual, the driver can ask Finie what the light means and how urgent it is to get taken care of. Or a driver can use the app to ask if he or she has enough fuel in the tank to drive from Ann Arbor to Detroit and back, or to adjust the cruise control.
Mars said the new funding will go to product development, with Clinc growing its head count from 75 to 140 by the end of the year and moving into a new 26,000-square-foot office at 200 S. First St. in Ann Arbor, when the build-out of that building is finished later this year.
Currently Clinc is based on the 5,000-square-foot second floor of the Cahoots tech incubator on East Huron Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor-based Cahoots Holdings was one of Clinc's seed-round investors.
Last June, Clinc opened an office in the financial district in London. At the same time, at a conference in Amsterdam, Clinc announced a partnership with the giant Turkish bank Isbank to roll out its AI platform to the bank's 5.5 million mobile users. It also plans to open an office in Southern California by the end of the year.
Mars said Finie has 31 million users worldwide.
Clinc had revenue of $4.5 million in 2017 and grew that to about $18 million last year.
"We are thrilled to welcome Clinc into the Insight portfolio," Jeff Lieberman, a managing director at Insight Partners, said in a news release. He is joining Clinc's board. "At Insight we look for companies utilizing the most innovative technological advancements, and Clinc has shown this with their conversational AI experiences and virtual assistant solutions that mimic human intelligence."
"Clinc proves once again that a small team of dedicated engineers can create a breakthrough product against the large incumbent companies. Clinc also demonstrates that many of the most technologically advanced products are coming out of the Midwest," Mark Kvamme, partner and co-founder at Drive Capital, said in the release.
According to CrunchBase, the deal website, the $52 million round is the largest single investment a category it calls conversational AI and appears to be the largest investment in any Michigan financial technology company, and follows on a string of large investments in state companies.
In April, HistoSonics Inc., a company in Ann Arbor whose technology uses ultrasound to destroy cancerous tumors, raised a round of $54 million, the second largest for a medical-device company in the state. That followed the largest round ever for a state company, a $77 million round announced by Kalamazoo-based Ablative Solutions Inc. in January for its medical device, which reduces hypertension by injecting alcohol into nerves in the renal system of certain patients with hypertension.
In October 2017, Ann Arbor-based Duo Security Inc., a provider of a two-factor system to provide internet security for companies, announced what had up to then been the largest round in state history, $70 million, which last August led to the company's $2.35 billion acquisition by Cisco Systems Inc.
In 2016, the Ann Arbor-based pharmaceutical company Millendo Therapeutics Inc. raised what was then the VC record of $62 million, topping the previous funding record set in 2014 by Plymouth Township-based ProNAi Therapeutics Inc. when it raised a round of $59.5 million.
Mars previously was a visiting research scientist at Google and a research scholar at Intel Corp. In 2016, he was named by Crain's as one of 50 names to know in IT in Michigan.

That Other Hamilton Woman Books, Arts, & Curiosities
Finest Hour 189, Third Quarter 2020
Review by Andrew Roberts
Celia Lee, Jean, Lady Hamilton 1861–1942: Diaries of a Soldier's Wife, Pen and Sword, 2020, £19.99. ISBN 978–1526786585
Andrew Roberts' most recent book is Leadership in War (2019). ,
Readers of Finest Hour who are familiar with Winston Churchill's role in initiating the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 will instantly recognise the name of Sir Ian Hamilton, the commander of that tragically doomed expedition. Churchill had recommended Hamilton, a distinguished Edwardian soldier and long acquaintance, to Lord Kitchener, the secretary for war, for that high command, which turned out to be an utterly poisoned chalice.
The young cavalry officer had been thrilled to come to the attention of the famous soldier, Ian Hamilton, who was twenty-one years his senior. Churchill's sixth book, Ian Hamilton's March, was written to honour his achievements in the South African war. They remained firm friends and shared many of the liberal, and indeed Liberal, beliefs of the day. Both were opposed to harsh peace settlements with the Boers in 1902 and the Germans in 1918.
Celia Lee has an unrivalled knowledge of the invaluable and detailed diaries kept by Jean, Ian Hamilton's wife, and has written a remarkable biography based on those intimate daily records of the life of a member of the Edwardian power elite. Jean, the daughter of a millionaire Scottish entrepreneur, had a profound effect on Hamilton's career at crucial moments. And through her deliciously gossip-ridden diaries we get many wonderful anecdotes about life in that gilded age. Read More >

Action This Day – Summer 1895, 1920, 1945
By Michael McMenamin
Summer 1895 • Age 20
"I Shall Never Know Such a Friend Again"
Mrs. Everest, Winston's beloved childhood nanny, died on 3 July. He wrote to his mother the same day: "She was delighted to see me on Monday and I think my coming made her die happy. Her last words were of Jack. I shall never know such a friend again.
" Churchill continued to have his mind on politics and had no intention of making a career in the Army. Writing to his mother on 16 August, he said, "It is a fine game to play—the game of politics—and it is well worth waiting for a good hand—before really plunging….The more I see of soldiering—the more I like it—but the more I feel convinced that it is not my métier. Well, we shall see—my dearest Mama."
On 24 August, Churchill again wrote his mother: "I find I am getting into a state of mental stagnation….It is a state of mind onto which all or nearly all who soldier—fall. From this 'slough of Despond' I try to raise myself by reading & re-reading Papa's speeches—many of which I almost know by heart—but I really cannot find the energy to read any other serious work." He went on to tell her that he intended, once situated in London, to study one or two hours a week with a scholar in Economics or Modern History because "I need someone to point out some specific subject to stimulate & to direct my reading in that subject."

"Keep Their Silliest People in Order" Churchill and the Scottish Pillar Box War
Queen Elizabeth II Pillar Boxe – English version
By David Freeman
David Freeman is editor of Finest Hour.
To return to power in 1951, Winston Churchill needed support in Scotland as much as he did anywhere else. During the general election campaign, therefore, he dutifully traveled to Glasgow, where he spoke at St. Andrew's Hall on 17 October. If the Conservatives were to win, Churchill told his audience, "We shall advise the creation of a new Minister of State for Scottish Affairs of Cabinet rank, to work in Scotland as Deputy to the Secretary of State."1
The strategy worked. The Tories eked out a seventeen-seat majority in the election by securing thirty-five of the seventy-one Scottish seats. Churchill became prime minister for the second time and appointed his former Chief Whip, James Stuart, as Secretary of State for Scotland. Stuart in turn recommended that Alec Douglas-Home, who had recently succeeded his father to become the 14th Earl of Home, be appointed as the promised Minister of State.
The selection of the middle-aged earl did not appeal to Churchill. As a member of the House of Commons, then styled Lord Dunglass, Douglas-Home had been Parliamentary Private Secretary to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and had accompanied his leader to the infamous Munich Conference, which Churchill had vociferously denounced. Stuart stood firm, however, and Churchill relented. "All right— have your Home sweet Home," he huffed. "The Prime Minister's personal directive to me was characteristic and terse," Douglas-Home later recalled, "'Go and quell those turbulent Scots, and don't come back until you've done it.'"2 There was indeed to be turbulence.

From the Editor Churchill and Scotland
By David Freeman, July 2020
This is the first in what will be a series of four issues to be published over four years examining Churchill's connections with the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom. The rich but scarcely explored field of Scotland comes first, and we are honored to have a foreword from former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Churchill's affiliations with Scotland began with his birth on 30 November 1874—the feast day of St. Andrew, Scotland's patron saint. Despite the many connections that followed, Scots today have all but forgotten Churchill. Alastair Stewart looks at the reasons for this and explains why it would profit the country to embrace the Churchill legacy.
More egregious than collective amnesia has been a campaign of deliberate misrepresentation of Churchill's record in Scotland. Gordon J. Barclay untangles the malicious myths that have been fabricated and explains the reasons for the militant assertion of fake history.
"He Is a Great Man" Winston Churchill and Lord Rosebery
Lord Rosebery in Harper's Weekly circa 1902
By Piers Brendon
Piers Brendon is author of Churchill's Bestiary: His Life Through Animals (2018) and former Keeper of the Churchill Archives Centre.
On a visit to Lord Rosebery's palatial country house Mentmore in 1880, the radical politician Sir Charles Dilke noted that his host was "the most ambitious man I had ever met." Years later Dilke added a marginal comment, "I have since known Winston Churchill."1 Needless to say, young Winston was ambitious, occasionally telling—and convincing—complete strangers that he was destined to lead his country. But Rosebery's ambitions were more diffuse. They were famously summed up in his expressed desire to marry an heiress, win the Derby and become Prime Minister. Perhaps this story is apocryphal since the three wishes were apparently made at the Mendacious Club, which he formed with the American socialite and political fixer Sam Ward. Yet all three were fulfilled, which did not prevent Rosebery's life from becoming what the journalist A. G. Gardiner called a "tragedy of unfulfilment."2 That life fascinated Churchill. As he wrote in a sparkling essay on Rosebery in Great Contemporaries, "With some at least of those feelings of awe and attraction which led Boswell to Dr. Johnson, I sought occasions to develop the acquaintance of childhood into a grown-up friendship."3
Lord Randolph
Archibald Primrose (1847– 1929), who became fifth Earl of Rosebery at the age of twenty, had been two years ahead of Winston's father, Lord Randolph Churchill, at Eton. They forged a close bond at Oxford where they were both members of the fast, aristocratic set whose main activities were drinking, gambling and sport. Unlike Lord Randolph, younger son of the Duke of Marlborough, Rosebery was immensely rich, inheriting over 20,000 Scottish acres and a clutch of stately homes to go with them. So while Lord Randolph merely kept his own pack of harriers at Merton College, Rosebery spent a small fortune on the Turf. The Dean of Christ Church was not amused, insisting that Rosebery must either give up his race-horses or his undergraduate studies. Characteristically Rosebery chose to sacrifice the latter, departing from the university without a degree. This was the sort of grand gesture that appealed to Lord Randolph, who shared Rosebery's intense pride of caste whereby, as an Eton contemporary wrote, "a man seems to ascend in a balloon out of earshot every time he is addressed by one not socially his equal."4 Read More >

From the Editor Churchill's Prime Ministers
Finest Hour 188, Second Quarter 2020
By David Freeman, April 2020
This issue commemorates the eightieth anniversary of Winston Churchill becoming prime minister in May 1940. Already the beleaguered year of 2020 has shown that Churchill remains the gold standard for crisis leadership. As political leaders around the world have struggled to meet the challenges created by a global pandemic, observers have measured their actions against Churchill's example.
Churchill served under five different prime ministers, and five future prime ministers served under him. It is some measure of Churchill's career that these men came from three different parties: Liberal, Labour, and Conservative. In this issue we look at each man's Churchillian connections, and we are honored to start with a foreword by David Cameron.
Churchill received his first government appointment from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Fred Glueckstein introduces us to the Edwardian statesman who preferred to be known as "CB." Promotion to the Cabinet came for Churchill with the sudden death of CB and the succession of H. H. Asquith to the premiership. T. G. Otte looks at the man whom Churchill referred to as a "Tribune" of the people. Read More >
'Without an office, without a seat'
In October 1922, the Conservatives voted to bring down the coalition. Churchill was not in a fit state to fight his seat. He'd just been operated on for appendicitis and was too ill to take part in the earlier stages of the election. Clearly unwell and unable to fight with his usual vim and vigour, he lost.
Out of Parliament for the first time in twenty two years (apart from a few weeks in 1908), he retired to the South of France, took up writing again – he embarked on a mammoth history of the First World War, The World Crisis – but he couldn't stay away from politics for long.

The Thrusting Young Conservative He began his political career in 1900 for the constituency of Oldham
Although he was defeated in his first attempt to enter Parliament in 1899, Churchill's fame following his dramatic escape from the Boers tipped the balance in the election of 1900. He achieved a small majority and won his longed-for 'seat' as a Conservative MP for Oldham, Lancashire, beginning a political career that would last over sixty years.
He made his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 18 February 1901 at the age of twenty-six, speaking immediately after Lloyd George, ensuring the young politician a very full house. Churchill had prepared his speech very carefully and more or less learned it by heart. Although this isn't unusual in a maiden speaker, Churchill – more unusually – continued this meticulous preparation throughout his career.
I am an English Liberal. I hate the Tory party, their men, their words and their methods. I feel no sort of sympathy with them – except to my own people at Oldham.
Churchill to Lord Hugh Cecil (unsent), 24 October 1903

The New Liberal Churchill takes up his first cabinet post in 1905
In 1905, Prime Minister Balfour resigned and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman formed a government pending a January election, appointing Churchill as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, assisting Lord Elgin. And in the Liberal Party's landslide election victory in early 1906, Churchill was elected as the Liberal MP for North-West Manchester. Churchill, the ambitious, shining 'glow-worm', was on his way.
Radicalism and Reform Social reform and building a modern welfare state were on the agenda
Churchill rapidly established himself as a prominent New Liberal, combining a commitment to free trade with support for a programme of social reform and was one of the main architects of Britain's incipient welfare state. To those Tories he'd 'betrayed' by 'crossing the floor', he was now betraying their class, too. By April 1908, however, his 'star' seemed to be shining clearer and clearer (see prophecy), as he achieved cabinet rank, as President of the Board of Trade in Herbert Asquith's new government, at the age of only thirty-three. In this role he introduced a number of initiatives (not all of which were adopted during his tenure but were later).

Churchill Proceedings – Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt
Finest Hour 163, Summer 2014
By Richard M. Langworth
Churchill Seemed to Regard Most Highly the American Presidents Who Didn't Return His Admiration
Winston Churchill experienced eleven American presidents—as many as the Queen. He did not personally meet them all, as she has; but each contributed to his outlook and policies. His relations with the seven presidents from McKinley to Hoover are only stage-setters to the main events: FDR, Truman, Eisenhower. But one of them, Theodore Roosevelt, offers interesting insights.
Churchill, aged 26, and TR, aged 42, got off to a thoroughly bad start. When Churchill met the hero who had charged up San Juan Hill two months before the Englishman had charged at Omdurman, he professed vast approval of then-Governor Roosevelt. But TR, doubtless aware of young Winston's reputation as a publicity seeker, did not return the compliment.
"I saw the Englishman, Winston Churchill…he is not an attractive fellow," Roosevelt confided to a friend after the meeting.1 The negative impression proved as enduring as their parallel careers—both were to shift party allegiance; both were to achieve the highest political office; both were awarded a Nobel Prize. TR was, incidentally, the only president who profusely wrote books: eighteen, against Churchill's fifty-one—mostly about hunting and outdoor life, though it is noteworthy that both he and Churchill wrote about the War of 1812.2

With the holidays approaching, the questions of enforcing parenting plans and child custody, is at the forefront. In Florida, parenting plans generally provide for an odd-even holiday timesharing schedule. An example of a typical parenting plan schedule for the holidays would be an odd-even schedule. For instance, the mother may have the children on Thanksgiving and Father would have winter holiday the same year and they would switch the following year. Unfortunately, this time of year can be a highly emotional time for some parents who share time with their minor children, especially when there is high conflict.
Taking the children out of State for the holidays without properly notifying the other parent may be reason to seek out an enforcement order of your parenting plan.
What can you do to find resolve to shared parenting and custody issues during the holidays?
Addressing timesharing matters as soon as they arise is generally the best course of action. Certainly, there are times when parents can and should work together if minor problems arise. But, if you have had ongoing difficulty with the parent of your child, you shouldn't wait for the behavior that you know will only be amplified during the holidays. Allowing an offending parent to continue to ignore a court ordered parenting plan is not beneficial to you or your children. When there are blatant and/or chronic abuses of a parenting plan that go unaddressed, it usually doesn't get better by ignoring the problem. There is hope.

.Our handymen are well-trained and certified in numerous trades, including joinery, pipework, electrical, roofing, masonry, landscaping, simply to name a couple.

That, and the factors below discuss why you should leave your home remedial projects or home repair and maintenance work to an expert.

We all have different trials and tribulations in life. Highs, lows, it's just the way life is, no matter who you are.
But what I find, especially being Irish, living in Ireland, is this age-old thing that has come down from our parent's generation, and possibly before them; that someone's business is everyone's business.
I often wonder is this part of our problems as a nation. Why things get talked about more than they get done. Why people struggle to be open to others because maybe they feel like everyone is prying. Begrudgery is also something that comes to mind. It's that "looking over the fence" scenario.
People just have to see what's in other people's gardens, what car they're driving, what flowers they keep, and in turn, must comment, a lot of the time negatively.
"Looking over the fence" is what I describe these people as in their everyday lives. All the time watching, judging, wasting their own precious lifetime.
People are scrambling for housing while the top people sit back and watch them squirm. Most probably giving out about social welfare and not knowing what the true situations are. Yet a Universal Basic Income is proposed and people aren't happy with it because "Jimmy down the road will be getting it", even though it would benefit a hell of a lot more for people who are working.
I'd love to hear what you think about this?

Geneanet > Resources > Family Names > YOUNG
Origin of the name YOUNG Back
BAB A : German, Bube, a boy; Greek, an inarticulate sound, as of an infant crying out; hence, a little child; to say Baba, that is, father or Papa. The word is nearly the same in all languages; it signifies a young child of either sex.
BEGG : From the Gaelic Beag, little, young, small of stature.
BRICK : A corruption of Breck (which see). We cut the following, on this name, from a newspaper: A certain college-professor, who had assembled his class at the commencement of the term, was reading over the list of names to see that all were present. It chanced that one of the number was unknown to the professor, having just entered the class. What is your name, sir? asked the professor, looking through his spectacles. You are a brick, was the startling reply. Sir, said the professor, half starting out of his chair at the supposed impertinence, but not quite sure that he understood him correctly, sir, I did not exactly understand your answer. You are a brick, was again the composed reply. This is intolerable, said the professor, his face reddening; beware, young man, how you attempt to insult me. Insult you ! said the student, in turn astonished. How have I done it? Did you not say I was a brick? returned the professor, with stifled indignation. No, sir; you asked me my name, and I answered your question. My name is U. R. A. Brick Uriah Reynolds Anderson Brick. Ah, indeed, murmured the professor, sinking back into his seat in confusion it was a misconception on my part. Will you commence the lesson, Mr. Brick ?
BURDETT : A little bird, ett signifying young, small, tender.
COLLINS : (Gaelic.) From Cuilen, darling, a term of endearment applied to young animals, as Catulus, in Latin. In the Welsh, Collen signifies hazel a hazel-grove.
FAGAN : (Gaelic.) A beech-tree. The Fagans were descended from Patrick O'Hagan, living a.d. 1180. O'Hagan, the posterity of Agan. Ogan, Ogyn, or Hogyn signifies, in the Welsh, young, a youth. Gaelic, Og, a young man.
GODWIN : Same as Goodwin or Gooden, derived from God or good, Sax., and win, conqueror, that is, a conqueror in God, converted or victorious in God. In one of those battles fought between Edmund the Anglo-Saxon, and Canute the Dane, the Danish army being routed and forced to fly, one of their principal captains named Ulf lost his way in the woods. After wandering all night, he met at daybreak a young peasant driving a herd of oxen whom he saluted, and asked hia name. '1 am Godwin, the son of Ulfhoth,' said the young peasant, 'and thou art a Dane.'
GUELPH : A wolf; the surname of the present Royal Family of England. We have the following amusing tradition of the origin of the royal house of Guelph: It is told in the chronicles that as far back as the days of Charlemagne, one Count Isenbrand, who resided near the Lake of Constance, met an old woman who had given birth to three children at once, a circumstance which appeared to him so portentous and unnatural that he assailed her with a torrent of abuse. Stung to fury by his insults, she cursed the Count, and wished that his wife, then enciente, might bring at a birth as many children as there are months in the year. The imprecation was fulfilled, and the countess became the mother of a dozen babes at once. Dreading the vengeance of her severe lord, she bade her maid go drown eleven of the twelve. But whom should the girl meet while on this horrible errand but the Count himself, who, suspecting that all was not right, demanded to know the contents of the basket. 'Welfen,' was the intrepid reply (i e., the old German term for puppies or young wolves). Dissatisfied with this explanation, the Count lifted up the cloth, and found under it eleven bonny infants nestled together. Their unblemished forms reconciled the sorupulous knight, and he resolved to recognize them as his lawful progeny. Thenceforward, their children and their descendants went by the name of Guelph or Welf
HOGAN : In the Cornish, mortal, in the Gaelic, a young man, from Og, young. Hogyn, Welsh, a stripling.
KID : A young goat; also, Kid, from the Saxon Cythan, to show, discover, or make known.
KNIGHT : A term originally applied to a young man after he was admitted to the privilege of bearing arms, by a certain ceremony of great importance called knighting, which waa generally conferred by the king.
LAMB : The name was probably taken from the sign of a lamb at an inn, the young of the sheep kind; Welsh, Llamer, to skip; Gaelic, Leum. The primitive Celtic or Gaelic Lam signified armor, as a dart, a blade, or sword; hence, to lam signified to disable, injure, maim, from which we have lame and limp.
McILROY : (Gaelic.) From Mac, gille, and ruadh, red-haired; the son of the red-haired young man.
OCHIERN : (Gaelic.) A term applied to the heir apparent to a lordship, from Oig, young, and tierna, a lord.
OIGTHIERNA : (Gaelic.) A term applied to the heir apparent to a lordship, from Oig, young, and tierna, a lord.
OGDEN : Local. (Sax.) From ock, oak-tree, and den, a valley ; the oak vale, or shady valley. Ogduine, in the Gaelic signifies a young man, from Og, young, and duine, a man; Ogdyn, in the Welsh, has the same signification.
RAMSEY : Local. From Ea, Saxon, water, or an isle, and Ram, Ram's Isle, a place in Huntingdonshire, England; where the family originated, and afterward settled in Scotland. Ramus, Latin, branches, young trees the isle of underbrush, branches, or young trees; a place where cattle browse. Reomasey, Saxon, from Reoma, the rim, edge, extremity, a border, and ey, an island.

Iteris, Inc. has announced that Melton Truck Lines will make Iteris' Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system standard equipment on some 1000 new trucks over the next three years.
"When it comes to highway safety and ensuring our customers' goods arrive on time, we believe adding LDW to our trucks will further our continuing goal of improving highway safety," said Bob Peterson, president of Melton. "Safety is a top priority for every well managed trucking company and we believe that our decision to install LDW will have a positive impact in reducing accidents." Based in Tulsa, Melton is one of the largest flatbed trucking companies in the nation. It is the fourth major flatbed carrier to install LDW as standard equipment.
Iteris said its LDW system is the first-of-its-kind to be deployed in the commercial truck and passenger car markets and remains the only vision-based system in mass production in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
According to Iteris, from January 1,2006 to September 6, 2007, another LDW customer, Prime, Inc., drove their trucks with and without using the LDW system. For trucks who did not use the system, there were 92 preventable accidents over 489 million miles (a rate of .18 accidents per million miles), and for trucks equipped with the system, there were 6 preventable accidents over 96.5 million miles (a rate of .062 accidents), leading to a 65% reduction in preventable accidents.
The company's statistics go further to state that the 19.3 accidents that would have occurred without the technology would be reduced to only 8.1. And with an average cost of $52,000 to fix each accident would have saved the company about $649,000. With the cost of installation, Iteris estimates that the technology pays for itself in about 1.08 years and saves approximately $.67 per 100 miles.
Studies similar to this one have led to a number of fleets beginning to use the Iteris system. Shari Roseboom, Director of marketing & communications for Iteris, told FleetOwner, "It's already having and will continue to have a significant effect on leaving lanes and leaving the roadway." Accidents cost fleets financially, as repair costs can be extensive and smaller fleets may see a substantial rise in their insurance rates following an accident, she noted.
The Iteris LDW system works through a camera mounted in the front of the cab, on the windshield, which acts as another set of eyes for the driver. When the truck begins to drift over either the center line or the edge of the road, the camera "reads" the line and sends an audible warning—a sound similar that made when a vehicle goes over rumble strips—alerting the driver. The system, which is all software-based, works in all road conditions but does not kick into effect when the truck is either driving under 35 MPH or using its turn signal, according to Iteris.

Behind the Bit: The hunter ring: "Just a beauty contest"?
The hunter ring: "Just a beauty contest"?
Perhaps. But when I watch videos like this one -- John French and Rumba -- I think "what's wrong with seeing something beautiful?" What a gorgeous horse. Incidentally, I think Stephen Spielberg bought this horse for his daughter to show in Children's Hunters.
Disclaimer: this isn't a regular hunter show round, it's a derby, so there is a bit more to the course than a a standard hunter round. But you get the point.
Well now. Yes, hunters are about beauty, but there's a lot that goes into a good round. The rider needs to be super accurate about distances and strides to make the round look soft and even all the way around. This horse is really tight with his knees and front end which adds to the picture as does his bascule over the jump.
But...I'm not too keen about his landings. He never stretches his nose out and almost appears to land unbalanced on his forehand...because....I suspect from watching...that he has been working in draw reins or some kind of bitting rig that has denied him the right or ability to poke his nose out at all. You can see on some of the turns how he shakes his head against the rider's hand, mostly because he is not fully balanced on to his hind end.
That's how it looks to me. Those landings are not exactly what I call pretty, but in the hunter arena, lots of times that doesn't matter as the jump is what really counts.
Yes indeed, a beautiful horse and a well placed round, but I am suspicious.....I would like to see that horse dare to put his nose out a bit on the landing side to match the stretch in the jump itself.
I thought the derbies were created and promoted precisely because of criticisms that hunters had become too artificial / had gone too far from their roots / were too much of a beauty contest.
I just find the use of a derby round to suggest that it's ok for hunters to be a beauty contest odd. It's so counter to everything that the derby courses are supposed to be promoting.
I guess I don't see that Rumba's talent as a derby horse proves that it's ok for the regular hunter divisions to be beauty contests. To me, it highlights the issue and proves just how much better the hunters could be / used to be.
Hi Halt Near X, I specifically wanted to use Rumba as an example b/c he is so spectacular -- and most of the video footage is of derbies. I wrote an article on derbies a while ago so I'm somewhat familar with their purpose. The choice of video had more to do with the animal i wanted to feature than the type of competition. You can see the same horse do a mediocre round with a young rider if you go to YOutube. I chose to give that one a pass, just b/c the derby was a better round. Shrug.
This really was a beautiful round -- I've watched it so many times! Maybe the hunters are a beauty contest, but that's okay with me. I am more than happy to appreciate them for their beauty and do my best to compete! There are people who do things I don't agree with, of course, but from what I can tell, you find that in every discipline.
I too am a hunter rider. Would like to thank Stacey for posting such a beautiful round.
Jean, not all hunters are put in rigs and draw reins. They are schooled and muscled up just as well as any top Grand Prix dressage horse. Compare his round to any top horse in the latest derby finals on equestrian tv. If he was landing unbalanced he would not jump the way he does, nor would he have placed as well as he did.
Sorry guys, I will stand by my assessment. And here is why. I rode hunters for well over 15 years and competed in Amateur Owner in recognized shows. So I am not speaking as a dressage rider with no background.
I totally agree about the amount of training it requires to make a good hunter and how much skill it takes to create a good ride. Watch this horse's reaction to the rein/bit carefully on the landings, turns, and the halt before the walk through.
To me, there is very little difference between the expectation of a horse's response to the bit in a good dressage test and a good hunter test. The basic flat training is the same. That is what dressage is all about. What I do not see in this round is a consistent softness to the bit after the fences.
Sorry. Not to take away from the horse's quality or beauty, but it bothers me.
Lovely horse and a beautiful course - a real pleasure to watch.
I disagree that a hunter horse is muscled and fine tuned to the level of a Grand Prix Dressage horse. Hunters never have to deal with the level of collection even a Jumper will see, and through all my years of A circuit riding, the saying always was "a hunter doesn't need to be worked as much".
I feel that hunter is such a money game. The amount of skill required in the "top" level doesn't equal that of Jumpers, Dressage or Eventing. The Derby is a start, but why not just do a good Derby jumper course? It's still going to be infinitely more challenging, and still draw more people to come watch. The fact is that Hunters was meant to be more of like a breed show-- you show off your horse's suitability for the field. Yet what's winning in the hunter world these days are not what you see at a hunt. I accept that all disciplines have strayed in some way from their original purpose, but in lieu of that the other sports have at least upped the ante in terms of technical challenge and finesse.
While I, personally, don't enjoy the look so much, there's a lot to be said positively for hunters. As in all other disciplines, done poorly it can be ugly. However, the ability to keep a horse calm and steady, keep turns balanced, generally land on the desired lead or at least show clean changes, get distance - every distance, etc., are all things which take skills riders in other disciplines often lack. I did hunters in the past, and it wasn't the fit for me, but I sure appreciate all there is to learn out there!
Rumba is a spectacular hunter, with a fantastic jump. At the Thermal Hunter Derby he earned a 92 plus 8 bonus points for handiness = 101!!!
I think he was The Chronicle's Show Hunter Horse Of The Year.

Zakharov v Russia: A refresher on how far Europe has come
Sometimes it takes an unexpected stranger to remind you what you have, and what you are at risk of losing. Roman Zakharov, a Russian publisher who challenged Russia's surveillance legislation, is that stranger for many Brits and Europeans. The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights judgement on Friday 4 December 2015 was remarkable, not because it tore up the rule book on the jurisprudence surrounding state surveillance in the Council of Europe, but because it followed that rule…
The Database Of You: Internet Connection Records Will Allow The UK Government To Document Everything We Do Online
Internet Connection Records are a new form of communications data created by the Investigatory Powers Bill at Parts 3 and 4. They constitute an unlawful interference with privacy with the ability to provide a highly detailed record of the activities of individuals, profiling their internet habits. Clause 62 of the Investigatory Powers Bill ("IP Bill") permits a wide range of public authorities to collect Internet Connection Records, however throughout debates on this highly controversial new…
Snooper's Charter: Are we about to enter a world of suspicionless surveillance - regulated by politicians?
With powers to snoop on our communications that are unprecedented anywhere in the world, it is essential the Investigatory Powers Bill doesn't let politicians decide who is spied on. The bill, if it is passed, aims to give the police and intelligence agencies sweeping powers to scoop up our emails, phone calls and text messages; and access details about when, where and with whom we communicate; and even hack into our computers and smartphones. At Privacy International, we have many concerns…
Privacy International briefing on A Question of Trust: Report of the Investigatory Powers Review
On legal reform "RIPA, obscure since its inception, has been patched up so many times as to make it incomprehensible to all but a tiny band of initiates. A multitude of alternative powers, some of them without statutory safeguards, confuse the picture further. This state of affairs is undemocratic, unnecessary and – in the long run – intolerable." [E.S. 35] This report is confirmation of the pressing need for wholesale reform of Britain's surveillance laws. Mr Anderson is resounding on this…
Make no mistake, this is a new Snooper's Charter, and it's worse than ever
Despite Wednesday's publication of the Investigatory Powers Bill being trailed as world leading legislation that would balance security and privacy, what the Government is actually seeking is a mandate for mass surveillance. This is a new Snoopers' Charter and we must oppose many of its most virulent elements. The true debate on surveillance can now begin. After years of downplaying, obscuring, and denying the Snowden revelations, the Government has finally joined the conversation about the…
International Women's Day: How surveillance is used to assert control
This Sunday is International Women's Day. You could celebrate the considerable progress in legislating for women's equal rights. You could join a protest against political and legal inequality, discrepancies in women's access to healthcare, education and other social goods. You could thank your mom for delivering you. Here at Privacy International, we want to commemorate the importance of this day by looking at some of the ways surveillance technologies can be used to control women and how the…
GCHQ-NSA intelligence sharing unlawful, says UK surveillance tribunal
British intelligence services acted unlawfully in accessing millions of people's personal communications collected by the NSA, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled today. The decision marks the first time that the Tribunal, the only UK court empowered to oversee GHCQ, MI5 and MI6, has ever ruled against the intelligence and security services in its 15 year history. The Tribunal declared that intelligence sharing between the United States and the United Kingdom was unlawful prior to December…
From Britain, with Bulk Love: A Dark Digital Magna Carta
The UK Government introduced a draft surveillance bill on Wednesday – the innocuously named 'Investigatory Powers Bill'. Trumpeted as 'world leading' by the Home Secretary, the only sense in which this is true is that other Governments around the world will now also seek a mandate for mass surveillance and hacking. Until recently, the idea that a Government agent could hack a mobile phone and turn on its camera and microphone to bug a conversation in a room was the realm of science fiction, or…
European Leaders Rally For Freedom, Call for Increased Surveillance
The following was written by Mike Rispoli, Communications Manager at Privacy International, and appeared in the 'Journalism in Europe' discussion series, hosted by Central European University: "The response by world leaders to the horrific terrorist attacks in France earlier this month has been all too familiar. As officials rallied for freedom of expression, they called for increased vigilance against extremists by expanding government surveillance powers. Leading the way is UK Prime…
