People Gave Chrome A Shot, But They're Going Back To Their Original Browser
Overhype
from the no-reason-to-switch dept
Wed, Sep 24th 2008 5:42pm — Mike Masnick
As we had mentioned, the original numbers that were coming out about people switching to Google's Chrome browser seemed a little difficult to believe. And, in fact, it appears they were. New reports are suggesting that while a bunch of folks may have kicked the tires on Chrome, the shine came off pretty quickly, and plenty of people have simply gone back to their original browsers. This really shouldn't be a surprise. While some people found Chrome to be clean and relatively fast, it didn't really offer much beyond that. That doesn't mean that it won't eventually make inroads into the market, but simply throwing up yet another browser with the Google brand on it isn't enough to convince people to switch. It needs to actually offer a significant and noticeable difference -- and so far that hasn't happened.

functional core
C'mon, Mike. I don't think anybody was seriously expecting this to be the wonderwidget to replace all others. This is the very first release, under Google's famous "Beta" program. I expected this was nothing more than a testbed release - make sure the basics work, and then pretty it up.
No, it's not polished or complete, but taken for what it is, first pass and bare bones, it's fantastic.
former user, 24 Sep 2008 @ 8:34pm
Re: functional core
The core was quite functional, but I did not like the way it scanned my hard drive every time I opened it. Google wants to index everything in the world, including, apparently, any media to which it has access. After searching for a way to turn off the scanning and not finding it, I removed Chrome from my computer.
Craig, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:32pm
It's perfect...
...for my parents. Seriously! I moved them over to Firefox long ago because of IE's security and other issues, but now they totally love Chrome. I know Google didn't plan to build a browser/web app aimed at the silver-haired demographic, but it's so free of bling and that makes it easy for my parents to focus on what they want. They don't even understand when I say "just open a browser and look" so the browser wars are completely meaningless to them.
If you think about it, Firefox isn't really used as a browser by most people. With it's myriad of extensions, it's more like a suite of web applications that also browses the interweb. There really are people who just want to browse and not have mouse gestures and all of the other propeller-head gimmicks and webby tools.
In my parents' house, Chrome is gold!
For myself, when i just want to quickly check mail and quickly glance thru my iGoogle pages, my choice is Chrome as well.
I still love Firefox, but I'm not a slave to it. I will use whatever is the easiest and simplest to accomplish whatever task I have at hand.
Felix Cheung, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:33pm
I'm still using Chrome and I'm going to stay using it. The speed of Chrome is the key. I'm sure other features or widgets will come.
For beta, I think it is great.
puppycheese, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:40pm
Chrome beta. It worked pretty well and i dig the speed; especially quick when loading gpages. And don't forget incognito; that's a feature we all need. So this browser will stay on my computer for now.
But I'm not holding my breath for a non-beta version. You know how Google is.
Xanius, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:41pm
Uninstalled the first day...
Simply because there's no home button. My iGoogle page is my homepage because it has all of my news,email and weather on it.
Opening a new tab to be taken to the same thing opera has had for quite a while was a hassle, I want a home button and there simply wasn't one there and no way to easily add it.
Anonymous Coward, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:46pm
Re: Uninstalled the first day...
Wow, just go to the page you want as home - drag the favicon to the left of the url to the bookmarks toolbar and bam.
Though, i don't recall if the bookmarks toolbar was shown by default...
Mabmoro Deventio (profile), 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:55pm
Actually, I'm using Chrome right now, and there IS a home button. For some reason, though, its not enabled by default. Also, another oddity is that you still have to open a new tab- you cant right-click or middle-click it to open a new tab with the home page, like you can in Firefox.
I like Chrome myself, but the flash player in it is a little odd. Some YouTube videos play for two seconds then freeze, while on Firefox, they play normally. Aside from that little bump in the road, I love it.
Tony, 24 Sep 2008 @ 7:23pm
What do you mean that there isn't a home button. There is one right between the reload and the bookmark star.
Yes there is. OPTIONS - BASICS tab - Check "Show home button on toolbar"
Anonymous Coward, 24 Sep 2008 @ 11:25pm
That's funny. My version has a home button. You didn't try to edit your settings.
Tony, 25 Sep 2008 @ 10:37am
Re: Re: Uninstalled the first day...
Why should you have to edit your settings to get a home button? That's a pretty basic piece of functionality.
Keith Jolie, 24 Sep 2008 @ 6:46pm
The way it integrates the tabs into the window "frame" was enough for me.
I use Explorer Firefox and now Chrome every day. different reasons for each. But I'm using chrome more and more. The most recently opened pages homepage is great.
overused Mike expressions that appeared in this post:
"As we had mentioned"
"This really shouldn't be a surprise"
Chrome is OK. It is a memory hog if you open a lot of tabs, but that is part of the robustness.
I agree that it is a good choice for people who want simplicity. "It just works" isn't a bad standard for any product.
The first thing I did with Chrome was to open googleDocs because that is what I think it was really intended to do. That was something of a disappointment, but it has gotten better since the first release.
I don't think that Chrome or any new browser needs to offer anything outrageously new and different, it justs needs to offer something! After a few days of saying WOW, Google has a browser, I quietly uninstalled it and went back to my favorite browser. For me specifically, I couldn't use 60% of the web sites and apps I normally do, because Chrome wouldn't run or render them correctly due to lack of support for activex or adequate java support.
Oh and the number 1 reason I scrapped chrome was IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE GOOGLE TOOLBAR which I absolutely love and can't live without.
I'm sure it will get there, but for now Chrome is not ready for prime time.
I'll switch when Chrome supports Windows 2000. XP was such a minor cosmetic change from 2000 that it should be trivial.
There *is* a home button in Chrome. It's the one to the left of the address bar, with the image of a house on it.

Toolbar, Home, ??
I downloaded it less than 15 minutes after it came out and I have been using it since.
Mine does not show a home button to the left of the address bar. To the left of mine is refresh and then to the left of that is arrows.
you can see a picture here:
http://www.aleeya.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome-aleeyanet2.jpg
Maybe it is not enabled by default, but I don't care, I LIKE it this way. I prefer the 'home' that shows up when I open a new tab anyway - my recent history on the screen.
as for one of the anon cowards..
"Oh and the number 1 reason I scrapped chrome was IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE GOOGLE TOOLBAR which I absolutely love and can't live without."
umm the address bar is also the google toolbar?? you can search by entering your keywords in the address bar??
I am used to the toolbar from google on my firefox but i prefer to goto the address bar and type in my search there. In fact, I am so into the habit of doing that when I use IE or FF at work, I try to type in keywords in their address bars sometimes and forget to use the extra google toolbar.
CTRL T still opens a new tab for me.. I have never right or middle clicked to open a new tab. Or, I can click the + sign.
If I middle click on a tab, it closes the tab.
I STILL prefer this over any other browser and will keep using it. I have no need for any other bloat.
For web design, I just made a validate HTML widget that I dragged to my address bar so I just click on Validate HTML and it validates the page through w3c. Quicker than anything else I have used.
The only time it did not show the page correct was when I was working in phpmyadmin .. but that is a moot point for me.
I also like being able to stick it on a thumdrive (yes, like firefox) and using it off that. Small and simple, the way I want. I spend about 16 hours a day on the internet between work and home / webdesign / hobbies. It is perfect for what I use it for.
As long as they don't bloat it up with un-necessary things, I'll continue to use it.
Dosquatch, 25 Sep 2008 @ 8:34am
Re: Toolbar, Home, ??
Ah. You seem to misunderstand, let me clarify. The address bar doubles as Google Search but the google toolbar does quite a bit more than that, like highlighting search terms in the resulting documents, news button, blog-this button, GOOGLE BOOKMARKS, autolinking addresses to maps, so on and so forth.
It's not just search. I can search anywhere. It's the other stuff that continues to make Google valuable to me.
David Lindbergh (profile), 24 Sep 2008 @ 8:07pm
Tried it, went back to Firefox
It works fine, but 2 things made me go back to Firefox.
1 - Doesn't support Google Toolbar (!)
2 - PDFs didn't open in Acrobat automatically. Maybe I could have gotten this working with some fiddling, but considering it doesn't support Google Toolbar ... back to Firefox.
Come on, Google - support your own dogfood already.
Trvth Jvstice, 24 Sep 2008 @ 8:18pm
Like it - waiting for add ons
I'll use Chrome as my default browser when it gets the add ons I use a lot - mouse gestures, auto refresh, text storage, add blocker, and a few others I'm forgetting. I tried Firefox for a while but switched to IE7 Pro.
http://www.ie7pro.com/
Don Wood, 24 Sep 2008 @ 8:31pm
I like it and will continue with it.
Chunky Vomit, 24 Sep 2008 @ 10:13pm
Looks like you pissed off all of the Chrome fanboys out there, Mike.
Craig, 24 Sep 2008 @ 10:36pm
I didn't read a single comment that had the tone of people being pissed off. People simply stated that they like using it where appropriate for them.
Have you been a troll for the entire time you've been online or are you simply feeling needy and want some attention?
Broke_Daddy, 25 Sep 2008 @ 12:36am
Re: Use Chrome Everyday
I alternate Chrome with Firefox. After trying the IE 8 Beta, I don't have much use for that anymore.
I use Chrome mostly, but switch to Firefox when I need Java.
It's staying on my computer for now.
sth, 25 Sep 2008 @ 12:53am
Very, very fast
Tab handling is excellent
Ability to kill browser tab processes is nice (but the actual process manager should run at a higher priority so you can pull it up when you REALLY need it)
Bookmarking style is great
None of the many amazing Firefox plugins are available for it
Weird bugs with forms
Its Flash plugin is about as buggy and slow as I've ever seen - and no Flashblock
I used Chrome for a while and loved it. Fix the list above and I'll use it a lot more.
Anonymous Jerk, 25 Sep 2008 @ 3:57am
They need to polish Chrome
I tried it. I'd use it, but I'm too used to having Adblock installed on Firefox, and not having to see the flash ads and all those fun bits. When Chrome supports ad-ons, I'll be back in line to download.
Twinrova, 25 Sep 2008 @ 4:04am
Never tried it. Never will.
Not sure why Google's turning into this "in your face" company, but I'm not impressed lately.
First, they put that stupid auto-fill feature on its homepage as the default. I can't stand auto-fill and having to turn it off every damn time* pisses me off.
Then they announce a browser. WTF, Google? There are already enough browsers out there. Do something more useful, like... well, hell. I guess they're just out of ideas.
Anyway, Firefox is my choice and I don't see any significant reasons to change.
I know change is inevitable but adding too much to a browser no longer makes it a browser. Worse, it makes it more difficult for the stupid users out there to properly set up (think ActiveX here, folks). Why is just a basic program so hard for people to actually develop anymore? Complaints about memory "hoggage", crashing apps, and other issues just seems totally stupid for a program that's main purpose is to surf the web.
Of course, look at cellphones. Less a phone today than a mere 5 years ago.
Technology is getting worse, not better.
*For those out there about to tell me what I don't already know, yes I know cookies will retain my preferences but using Firefox allows me to clean out those cookies (by choice). What you fail to understand is the annoying option is the default, not the option. Understand?
brian, 25 Sep 2008 @ 5:20am
I switched immediately from firefox (which I used exclusively since its release) and haven't looked back. and I suspect it will only improve.
Lucretious, 25 Sep 2008 @ 5:27am
I liked it but I basically gave it up due to the reasons Mike mentioned. Firefox gives me everything I need, is fast with a huge amount of plug-ins to choose from. Chrome simply doesn't offer anything over FF other than being a bit faster.
Xanthir, FCD, 25 Sep 2008 @ 6:04am
Use it and others
As Craig (comment #2) pointed out, Firefox really isn't a browser, but rather a suite of web applications that happens to browse the internet as well. It's an integral part of my job, and I couldn't work without it, so no Chrome for me here at work.
At home, though, I'm enjoying Chrome quite a bit, even if it is an extremely early beta. I'll be eagerly watching for FF to pull a lot of Chrome's features as well.
Ima Fish, 25 Sep 2008 @ 6:21am
I tried it out and it's super fast. But it lacks all of Firefox's plug-ins so it's merely a hollow shell of a browser. Maybe in a few years it'll be worth switching over to.
Geoff Crook, 25 Sep 2008 @ 8:21am
Google Chrome browser
Other than very fast loading, I do not see a need for this browser at this time.
Johann, 25 Sep 2008 @ 10:14am
I actually like Chrome quite a bit, especially the home site with thumbnails of websites that I recently visited.
HectorFail, 25 Sep 2008 @ 12:33pm
What is the deal with incognito?
One thing I can't figure out about Chrome, and I would honestly appreciate someone explaining to me: how is the famed "incognito mode" that everyone seems to love any different from going to Tools-->Options-->Privacy in Firefox and telling it not to save any of your browser history, search history, cookies, etc.? I refuse to use Chrome because I want to surf "incognito" ALL the time, but Chrome only allows you to do it in that insufferable popout window, and I don't want to have to remember to hit Ctrl+Shift+N every time want to I sneak a look at BonsaiKitten on my computer at work.
Peter, 25 Sep 2008 @ 5:01pm
Only problem that I have with Chrome is when I go to a few of my favorite websites that check to see what browser your using, I get the message "The browser your currently using is not recognized, and offers up alternatives such as Internet Explorer or Fire Fox.
Other than that, I use it to connect to the Outlook web mail for my work, Way faster than IE.
Chrome is new, its got querks, I report problems and they eventually get fixed.
Peter Blaise Monahon (profile), 26 Sep 2008 @ 2:46am
Chrome works and survives though Windows dies a horrible BSOD crash
While backing up a customer's drive via USB to one of my internal native ATA backup drives, my system locked and crashed (not resolved yet, perhaps a problem with the customer's system - in the meantime, I'm using Plan B, another native internal ATA drive already prepped for my machine).
Chrome was "the only man standing", and continued to work flawlessly while Microsoft XP Pro Windows Explorer and the backup program (Microsoft DOS XCopy), and even Microsoft Task Manager crashed all around it, became unstable, and inoperative. I was very impressed at Chrome's integrity, as I continued to browse and open and close Chrome windows/tabs/sessions (they are apparently mixed, as some tabs appear to share memory sessions with each other). I continued to browse for hours using Chrome to successfully do my business work, even though the computer in which Chrome was running was completely crashed.
Upon reboot, I got an unresolvable blue screen of death, by the way, the Microsoft crash in which Chrome uniquely stood tall and functional was that bad. I am now very very confident that what we have all been asking Microsoft to do - build a reliable operating system, a quick, neat, clean, simple, RELIABLE operating system - is possible, very possible. My experience of Chrome proves it's possible, for me.
Oh, yes, Chrome crashes for me daily, usually after downloading ZIP files and trying to open them from within Chrome's download file status bar. So, instead, I close Chrome's download file status bar, and open the file using Microsoft XP Pro Windows Explorer. After each Chrome crash, it immediately re-opened into the previous tabs and had saved all my typing that I had entered into web pages but had not completed and sent yet. Amazing! Nothing lost.
Chrome stands when Microsoft falls, and stands up again even when Microsoft finds a way to momentarily pull Chrome down. Chrome protects my data and gives me access to my data long after Microsoft has given up and shut down and locked me out.
We have a winner, and the winner is Google.
Chrome may be missing features, but not benefits!
Earlier: "... Uninstalled the first day... Simply because there's no home button. My iGoogle page is my homepage because it has all of my news, email and weather on it.
Opening a new tab to be taken to the same thing opera has had for quite a while was a hassle, I want a home button and there simply wasn't one there and no way to easily add it..."
Yes, I found a was missing familiar features, presuming the benefits of those features could not be gotten any other way. I was as wrong as you are wrong!
For instance, I missed not being able to continue to build my encyclopedic hierarchy of bookmarks. Then I found that if I type what I am looking for into the address field, Google helps me find it faster than I could have found it in my arcane bookmark system anyway. The address fiels also behaves as Google search field - clever! One down.
Home page? Google remembers previous pages if you want, so why not close Chrome with your "home" page on screen, so it always opens there next time, or just make your Chrome icon a shortcut to your home page URL so it opens there first? Same same, and then you're getting what you're after without adding another control, a single purpose control, to the dashboard.
Look at our cars. Yes, we have a map box (ne glove compartment!), but do we always ask the map box for permission to go anyplace when we drive? Or do we go most places directly, and use feedback on the road to guide our specific daily trajectory? How many people even have maps in their cars all the time anymore?
I don't need the map's help or permission anymore to go to 99% of my routine destinations. Browser wise, I find that some of my bookmarks were aging anyway, and lead to dead ends where I had to web search to find where it had moved or to find a replacement anyway. So what good was the bookmark after all?
Try right clicking a page - "save as..." appears, so we don't needs a traditional [File],[Save as] pull down menu strip across the top. Google Chrome found another way to provide the benefit without having the constant on-screen feautre of a fime menu bar. And so on. Chrome is smarter than we think.
My point is that the simplicity of Chrome belies it's sophisticated intelligence and capability. C'mon back and explore it a little more, and you'll probably find neater, faster ways to accomplish your goals. As Apple once said, "Think different." It won't hurt!
Re: Never tried it. Never will.
Earlier: "... Never tried it. Never will ... Not sure why Google ... announce a browser. WTF, Google? There are already enough browsers out there ... Firefox is my choice ..."
Versus, from the same poster: "... adding too much to a browser no longer makes it a browser.

Complaints about memory "hoggage", crashing apps, and other issues just seems totally stupid for a program that's main purpose is to surf the web ..."
I think you just sold yourself on the reason to try Chrome. Unlike Firefox or IE, it's not adding too much, not disrespecting memory, not crashing itself, and, rather painfully obviously, it's "... main purpose is to surf the web ..." - period.
Maybe you should rethink "... Never tried it. Never will ..."

Chrome is my default browser as of today -- sure, I still use other browsers for particular tasks, but when I want to read content (ballparking that at 70%+ of my browsing time, probably more into reading print in a browser than the standard user, less into video) nothing beats the quick start/quick page load.

IE cookies won't 'enable' after Chrome was de-installed.
A friend of mine tried Chrome and wasn't thrilled. So she de-installed it. Windows XP workstation.
Now when she goes to her bank-it yells about cookies being enabled. They are. Either via Tools; Internet Options; Privacy; and then sliding bar for Settings/Select a setting for the Internet Zone. Or the Advanced Privacy Settings; Over automatic cookie handling checked, as well as Always allow session cookies.
I have even gone to the trouble of deinstalling all patches for IE7 and then IE7; reapplied IE7 and its latest patches.
No luck. She is an older woman, so going back to Chrome may not be an option. I might convince her of Firefox. But I'm really curious why this extreme deinstall/reinstall doesn't work, short of a registry hack(?).

Step One To Embracing A Lack Of Scarcity: Recognize What Market You're Really In


Reflections can be a tricky 3D graphics device to employ but with Three.js they can be accomplished quite easily using a Cube Camera, a unique camera that allows us to utilize cube mapping. In computer graphics, cube mapping is a method of environment mapping that uses the six faces of a cube as the map shape. The environment is projected onto the sides of a cube and stored as six square textures, or unfolded into six regions of a single texture.
The Cube Camera for Three.js will provide us these six perspective cameras and will display what each camera sees onto any object in which we place it. As expected, it will fit well on all default three-dimensional shapes provided by the core Three.js library. In this example, I use a few spheres, a rectangle, and a cone. I also add a reflection to the plane I use as the floor so that lights and the cube map (background image) are reflected.
To see the full code click on the "JS" tab in the Threejs reflections example below. There are also some really neat examples on the Three.js example pages. Here is one of my favorites, though they achieve the reflection effect a little differently.


Ombudsman volunteers are individuals who help residents in the long-term care setting. If a resident has a concern, the Ombudsman is an important resource in helping to resolve it. Often the volunteer acts as a buffer between the resident and the facility staff. The purpose is to encourage the resident to become empowered in expressing his or her concerns.
The Ombudsman volunteers are also a vital source of information and assistance to individuals in nursing facilities. Before being assigned to a facility, volunteers receive 18 hours of training in problem solving, complaint coding, reporting and enhancement of communication and mediation skills. Ombudsman volunteers establish relationships with residents that build a trusting rapport and a sense of empowerment for the resident.
WHAT IF A FACILITY DOES NOT HAVE A VOLUNTEER?
If the facility does not have a volunteer Local Ombudsman, the residents and family members may contact the NWMOAAA Long-Term Care Ombudsman program directly by calling 1-888-844-5626 or call the Ombudsman Manager at 816-749-0034. Everyone is encouraged to share concerns they may have about issues that occur in the long-term care setting. All communication between residents and the Ombudsman staff is confidential.
HOW DO I CHOOSE A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY FOR MY LOVED ONE?
The Regional Ombudsman Coordinator and staff can provide information about facilities from the most recent survey by the Department of Health and Senior Services Section for Long-Term Care. If you have access to the internet you may also acquire information about facilities from www.medicare.gov and selecting "Compare Nursing Homes in Your Area."
Establish a relationship of trust with residents.
Encourage residents to speak for themselves.
Seek to resolve problems within a facility.
Residents, ombudsman volunteers and staff of long-term care facilities benefit significantly from Missouri's Ombudsman Program. Facilities are required to participate in this program.
Program emphasis is on resident rights, rather than facility compliance to other regulations. When a problem arises, the ombudsman serves as a mediator. Assuming a neutral role allows an ombudsman to advocate for residents, family members or staff of the facility. The ombudsman becomes a relied-upon source of information and assistance.
RESOLVE resident complaints through involvement of all concerned parties.
INFORM residents of rights that are established by law.
PROVIDE information on residents' needs/concerns to the community.
HOW DO I BECOME AN OMBUDSMAN VOLUNTEER?
Call the Regional Ombudsman Program at the Area Agency on Aging toll free at 1-888-844-5626, 660-726-3800 or directly at 816-749-0034. We will mail a simple application for you to fill out and return. A criminal background check is required for all volunteers. The Ombudsman staff will then schedule an interview. The Ombudsman Program is always in need of individuals who are willing to give of their time and talents for the well-being of our older citizens.


Includes unlimited streaming of Resistance EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
We all here at cocoon still remember their label-debut as a duo. Timeless and kickin' tech-house with hands-up-energy and potential to set dance floors on fire - until today! And it seems the two continued where they stopped in 2011 but without being copycats to themselves.
Again we present a strong package here that pushes the listener to the floor.
The opening track "Share" is built around a cool and modulating bassline and the drums got spiced up with some oldskool flavour for all you Kink- and Guy-Gerber-fans out there: Chicago house as we like it! The added vocals round up the start of the e.p. and makes it perfect to welcome the first sun of the season.
"All About" seems to be a bit more deeper and relaxed at start - the good old "dub" like we used to know it from the high times of vinyl-djing. Again there is oldskool power in here: A massive open 909 HiHat, filtered sounds and vocals form a builder that turns more and more into a proper peaktime monster, too. Without noticing it this dub-like-smoother is morphing into massive floorfiller, great!
With "Resistance" the two seem to emphasis their improved and progressed sound even more. Banging drums, loud and kicking HiHats and Claps and those detroit-like backward vocals beam us back to the motorcity-techno-age.


Digital Receipts: Retailers' hidden ammunition?
Ardent shopaholics may have noticed the steady, yet silent, rise of digital receipts over the past few years. An increasing number of retailers are now offering customers digital receipts rather than their paper counterparts, and the savvier retailers are using these digital receipts to their advertising advantage.
Digital receipts are not, however, retailers' first attempt at engaging with customers through the medium of receipt. Early examples of customer engagement, powered by the humble receipt, include hyperlinks to retailer websites to give customer feedback, enter prize draws or receive special promotions. Digital receipts are therefore merely accelerating the ways in which retailers continue to engage with shoppers post purchase, and allow for far more sophisticated and subtle forms of engagement or targeted advertising. The growing list of retailers who have started to embrace digital receipts includes Apple (who began sending digital receipts in 2005), Debenhams, Topshop, Monsoon and Argos.
The attraction of a digital receipt to customers is obvious: no need to worry about losing it (especially important for those impulse purchases) and it is better for the environment. Historically however there has been a slow uptake of digital receipts by retailers, likely attributable to the need for new software for tills and payment systems. As the technological barriers are now coming slowly down, retailers should change their stance on digital receipts given their ability to provide a greater insight into customers' shopping habits.
Digital receipts allow retailers to get one step nearer to clarifying whether a recent purchase was caused by, or correlated with, the customer interacting with a specific advert. By capturing a shopper's email address, retailers are able to link a shopper's in store purchases with their store account, so learning more about a shopper's overall spending habits. Retailers will be able to see if a strategically placed online advert or personalised promotional offer, tailored to that specific customer results in a purchase. Other data which is identified by digital receipts include basket size, frequency of visit and total spend; data which would otherwise be lost for bricks and mortar retailers.
However before retailers can jump onto the digital receipt bandwagon, they need to fully appreciate the data protection implications of using digital receipts. Shop assistants, being the customer's primary retail contact, need to properly explain the role (both obvious and secondary) of these receipts. As commented by Renate Samson, chief executive of Big Brother Watch, shop assistants must make clear what retailers hope to do with customers' email addresses. This avoids customers being unpleasantly surprised with unexpected uses of their personal data.
Whilst revealing their true intention may be a daunting prospect for retailers, individuals are far more likely to give up personal information if they can understand and appreciate a clear gain in exchange. Examples of gains for shoppers include being notified of recommended products based on previous purchases, personalised promotions or updates about whether certain items are back in stock when a shopper is near a retailer's branch.
Retailers should also balance their desire for capturing customer data against irritating shoppers. Retailers would do well to avoid using their customer email address database to bombard them with email marketing; doing so may result in customers treating their digital receipts as junk mail and not actually taking the time to scroll through, read and engage with them.
A slightly different approach could be taking the stance that retailers simply want to make their customers' lives easier, rather than trying to extract value directly for themselves. Tesco has launched its first "paperless till" this week in its Harlow store as part of a 3 month trial. The system has been introduced to make it easier for customers to keep track of their past purchases, as well as being potentially beneficial for the environment. The system will allow Tesco to send its customers proof of purchase directly to their smartphones, and does not require a customer's email address or result in the collection of additional customer data.
So is it time to bid goodbye to the paper receipt? Not quite. Whilst more and more retailers are slowly embracing digital receipts, the upfront costs of upgrading internal systems and changing consumer habits seem to be the obvious hurdles. Retailers should however be encouraged to use digital receipts. Doing so will allow retailers to continue to learn more about their customers, without their customers needing to make any conscious decisions; quite the powerful and silent ammunition.

Protesters rally against Rep. Duncan Hunter in Escondido
More than 200 protesters met off I-15 North on Westfield Way in Escondido Saturday for a rally against Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 200 protesters met off I-15 North on Westfield Way in Escondido Saturday for a rally against Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter.
The Justice Department is investigating California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter for possible campaign finance violations, an allegation the lawmaker dismisses as inadvertent mistakes.
The House Ethics Committee has been investigating allegations that Hunter improperly used campaign funds to pay for tens of thousands of dollars in personal expenses, such as trips to Hawaii and Italy and tuition for Hunter's school-age children.
The ethics panel said in a statement Thursday that it is delaying the inquiry at the request of the Justice Department.
Hunter, 40, won a fifth term last year representing the San Diego area.
His lawyers said Hunter and his wife, Margaret, repaid the campaign about $60,000.
"Congressman Hunter intends to cooperate fully with the government on this investigation, and maintains that to the extent any mistakes were made they were strictly inadvertent and unintentional," lawyers Elliot Berke and Gregory Vega said Thursday in a statement.
The independent Office of Congressional Ethics said last year that Hunter's campaign committee reported expenditures that may not be legitimate and verifiable campaign expenditures.
The ethics office, which investigates complaints of wrongdoing by House members, said Hunter may have converted tens of thousands of dollars of campaign funds from his congressional campaign committee to personal use to pay for family travel, flights, utilities, health care, school uniforms and tuition, jewelry, groceries and other goods.
Hunter's office said in January that one of the charges he repaid was a $600 fee for flying a pet bunny with his family. There was no intent to stick donors with the cost, said Hunter spokesman Joe Kasper. The congressman used airline miles to pay for his family's travel and there was an assumption that bringing along the rabbit would not incur an extra charge, Kasper told The Associated Press.
When Hunter found out his campaign had paid for the rabbit's transport, he paid back the money as part of more than $60,000 in other questionable charges, Kasper said.
Kasper pointed to the rabbit expense as an example of overreach by the congressional ethics office.
Noah Bookbinder, executive director of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, called the allegations against Hunter "the most egregious congressional spending scandal since Aaron Schock," an Illinois Republican who resigned in 2015 amid scrutiny over real estate deals, extensive travel and other spending. Questions about Schock's spending were sparked in part by word that he redecorated his congressional office in the lavish style of TV's "Downton Abbey."

Though the origins of asylums can be traced to Europe, the systematic segregation of the mentally ill into specialized institutions occurred in the Unites States only after 1800, just as the struggle to end slavery took hold. In this book, Wendy Gonaver examines the relationship between these two historical developments, showing how slavery and ideas about race shaped early mental health treatment in the United States, especially in the South. She reveals these connections through the histories of two asylums in Virginia: the Eastern Lunatic Asylum in Williamsburg, the first in the nation; and the Central Lunatic Asylum in Petersburg, the first created specifically for African Americans. Eastern Lunatic Asylum was the only institution to both accept slaves and free blacks as patients and to employ slaves as attendants.
Drawing from these institutions' untapped archives, Gonaver reveals how slavery influenced ideas about patient liberty, about the proper relationship between caregiver and patient, about what constituted healthy religious belief and unhealthy fanaticism, and about gender. This early form of psychiatric care acted as a precursor to public health policy for generations, and Gonaver's book fills an important gap in the historiography of mental health and race in the nineteenth century.

Compare rates at 80 currency stores in 34 cities
As of December 2019, the equivalence of the Saudi riyal currency against the euro is 1 euro = 4.17 Saudi riyals.
History of the Saudi riyal
The Saudi riyal has its origin in the currency of the Hejaz region before the formation of the country of Saudi Arabia. This previous currency was based on the currency of the Ottoman Empire although it later set its value with respect to the Indian rupee, in 1935. In 1960 the division of the riyal was established in 20 ghirsh, although this lasted a short time for the introduction of halala in the year 1963.
The Monetary Authority of Saudi Arabia (originally the Monetary Agency of Saudi Arabia) is the central bank of Saudi Arabia and was created in 1952. Its acronym is SAMA and on its website we can obtain practical information about riyal coins and banknotes.

The Prophet's Mosque in Medina was originally built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, located in Medina, in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. It was the third mosque built in the history of Islam and is now one of the largest in the world with the capacity to accommodate 1 million faithful.
100 Saudi riyals banknote (100 SR)
If a 100 riyal bill falls into your hands, today you would get for it the equivalent of about 20 euros in Spain.
This 500 saudi riyals note is of the highest denomination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is blue and shows the late King Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Al Saud on the obverse with the Santa Ka`aba in the background. Abdulaziz bin Saúd was the first king of Saudi Arabia from September 22, 1932 until his death. He is considered the founder of the modern Saudi state, after fighting for 30 years until the unification of Saudi Arabia.
On the reverse of the banknote you can see the Sacred Mosque of Makkah Al Mukarramah. It is the most important mosque in the city of Mecca and the first holy place of Islam.
Today, in the currency providers in Spain they would give you about 100 euros in exchange for a 500 SR ticket.
Euro to Saudi riyals exchange rate
The Euro to Saudi riyals exchange rate has not undergone major variations in the last 5 years, staying at around 4 to 5 riyals per euro. Since mid-2018, the exchange rate has remained very stable and in December 2019, the euro to saudi riyal exchange rate is € 1 = SR 4.17.
Euro to Saudi riyal exchange rate 2019 Google
As you can see, the exchange rate last year has ranged between 4.1 and 4.3 riyals per euro, but keep in mind that this graph represents the value of the "currency" riyal against the euro, and not that of the paper currency (travel money), which is lower. In fact, in the currency exchange suppliers in Spain you can buy Saudi riyals at an exchange rate of 3.7 riyals for each euro, nothing to do with the euro to riyal exchange rate for bank transfers (4.17 riyals per euro).
So, when you see these values in Google and other currency converters with your mobile phone, keep this in mind:
-This is an unreliable rate. That is, if you click on the "Disclaimer" link, you get this Google Finance warning:
"Google cannot guarantee the accuracy of the exchange rates shown. Confirm the current rates before making a transaction that may be affected by changes in exchange rates. "
-These rates you see are usually wholesale prices of the Saudi riyal currency against the Euro currency (travel money currency and currency are not the same);
-This rate is only accessible to banks. That is, it is impossible to get it as a private individual;
If you need riyal banknotes, you will have to go through the retail banknote market (bank or currency provider). This means that Saudi riyals will have had to be "transported" by someone for you to enjoy them (or bought from Saudi tourists or professionals passing through Spain previously). In other words, moving banknotes from one place to another has logistic costs that will make their selling price more expensive (the exchange rate that will be applied to you by the seller).
-The Saudi riyal is a very scarce currency in Spain, so it is not easy to find it available for sale. Therefore it is good to anticipate the purchase and order it online to get a better price.
To know the euro to saudi riyal exchange rate today, you can use our currency comparator:

Where to change Saudi riyals today in Spain
The exchange of Saudi rials for euros can be done in specialized establishments such as currency exchange suppliers or banks, but also at airports. It is important to avoid the latter since they wil charge you high commissions and exchange rates.

Fayose is Southwest PDP leader, says Ogun chapter
By Emmanuel Olades, Deputy Editor
Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders yesterday declared former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose as the leader of the party in the Southwest.
Twenty local government party chairmen, 14 members of the State Executive Committee and national delegates from Ogun State paid a birthday solidarity visit to 60-year-old Fayose in Lagos to express their loyalty to his leadership.
They were led by state Chairman Sikirulahi Ogundele and Ladi Adebutu,
"On issues regarding to the PDP in the Southwest, we will only attend meetings called by Fayose," they said.
The Fayose camp set up a parallel reconciliation zonal committee two weeks ago to unite aggrieved chieftains in the Southwest.
It also set up a panel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the defeat of the PDP in the Ondo State governorship election.
The camp has endorsed Dr. Eddy Olafeso, former Ondo State Information commissioner, as its candidate for the position of zonal chairman at the proposed regional congress.
The Ogun PDP chieftains prayed for the former governor and urged him to remain focused and undaunted in his quest to ensure fairness, equity and justice in building a formidable party in the zone and the country.

Ogundele, who spoke on behalf of the delegation, said: "Today, we visit our leader, the key leader that we know in the Southwest, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, to wish him a happy birthday and show our solidarity with his leadership and unalloyed loyalty and commitment to his directives in the zone in the coming Southwest zonal congress.
"Ogun State will not be a part of any meeting that is not initiated by him. We condemn all acts of violence by some leaders who are claiming to be generals, but without followership and we call on the National Working Committee (NWC) to call them to order, as no group or individuals has monopoly of violence.
"We equally acknowledge and appreciate the National Working Committee, led by Prince Uche Secondus, and we pledge our loyalty to the NWC, while we call for a credible Southwest congress."
Apparently firing salvos at Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who is locked in a row with Fayose over partisan matters in the region, Ogundele said every state is independent, adding that there is no Governor-General in the constitution of the PDP.
He added: "We salute our key leaders in persons of Ladi Adebutu, Senator Demola Adeleke, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, Deji Doherty, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo and others.
"For the coming Southwest Zonal Congress, we stand by Dr. Olafeso as the zonal chairman."

How long does it really take to get unfit?
Blog May 2018 How long does it really take to get unfit?
It's the question most people ask or at least consider before going on holidays or taking a break from exercise.
While many of us are jetting off to somewhere a little more tropical this winter, it's not often top of mind as to how you will maintain your fitness when you're sipping cocktails poolside. That being said, we thought it would be interesting to analyse how long it takes for you to lose your hard-earned fitness. Let's start with your Cardio Fitness.
Cardio is sadly the first to go after a hiatus from exercise. Approximately 14 days to be exact (according to medical studies). You may find that climbing those hotel stairs after 2 weeks will get your heart rate up just that little bit faster.
That's the bad news when it comes to your cardio levels. The good news is it will take about 2 weeks hard training in return to get you back up to speed (no pun intended).
This is where muscle memory comes into play. The good news is that once you have established muscle memory, it is likely to stay with you on vacay. No need to pack the weights! However it should be noted that on average after two weeks you may begin to lose a small percentage of muscle – around 7-10% depending on the individual, their diet and daily activities.
According to studies if you are naturally flexible, it is often hard to lose this over a couple weeks. However, it's best to try to maintain a stretching routine wherever you are for overall physical and mental functioning and helping to avoid any injuries.
If you're set to head off into the sunset this winter and you're a little worried about losing your hard-earned fitness, we have some exciting news!
Core Focus Pilates is about to launch our very own online pilates tutorials. This means that no matter where you are in the world you can maintain your summer body with Core Focus Pilates. Due to launch end of May, these tutorials will be accessible via Vimeo. All videos will be accessible via the link on our website called "Online Studio" accessible here.
Online workouts will be $10.99 US/$13.29 AUS to rent each individual workout for 1 year.

Engineering is the application of science for the benefit of man. Mechanics offers us a means of determining the state of motion or rest of a body subject to forces, and so is intrinsically important for civil engineers. Engineering and Computational Mechanics publishes refereed papers and other short contributions on fundamental applied mechanics in civil engineering. Practically oriented papers are particularly welcome. Papers cover solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, the behaviour of granular materials, structural, stress and strain analysis, and the dynamics of structures and fluid/structure interactions. Papers specifically covering materials science or soil and rock mechanics will not normally be included. However, contributions dealing with problems at the interfaces between geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and fluid mechanics may be considered. Similarly, papers dealing with the application of materials in engineering mechanics are also welcome.

Q: Are Hecl scripts as powerful as native J2ME midlets? Looking over Hecl, the scripting language with a J2ME runtime, I wonder about its capabilities:
Assuming my base Midlet has methods and variables that I've written

*

*Can the Hecl interpreter run within my Midlet, and side-by-side with my classes?

*Can the Hecl script call any of my methods within the Midlet?

*Can the Hecl script utilize and modify any of my variables?

Thanks in advance.

A: Jeremy - at this point you'd be better off emailing me or (even better) writing to the Hecl mailing list, rather than relying on my RSS feed to notify me of SO articles related to Hecl!

*Yes, Hecl can run as an 'embedded' interpreter.  For instance, you could write an entire app in Java and only use the interpreter for callbacks in response to events.

*Since J2ME doesn't have Reflection, you have to write the glue between your methods and what's available to the interpreter.  It's pretty easy, though: PutsCmd.java

*To modify variables, once again, you'd have to provide some glue.  It's not that hard though.  There are ways to map back and forth between Hecl values and Java values.
In any case, I watch SO from time to time, but the mailing list or email would probably be a better place for more detailed questions.

Meet the Dancers: Stacy Bishop
Super savvy steps, creative choreography, unique props, an upbeat song by Will Smith, and a possible "cameo" appearance by a surprise guest, are all part of Stacy Bishop's star-studded routine for this year's Flagstar's Dancing with the Stars. Bishop serves as executive director of the Pontiac Farmer's Market and owns Bloom Wellness where she works with patients ages 3-83.
"I am a healthy lifestyle advocate and educator," she says. "My mission is focused on bringing people together to create community and offer experiential wellness education. I use principles of yoga, meditation, mindfulness and nutrition to achieve these goals."
Stacy first started dancing in kindergarten and continued through high school, taking tap and jazz lessons weekly and performing in annual recitals. "But that was 25+ years ago…" she says.
"I love music and seem to be dancing through my workouts, car rides, meetings and life," Stacy reveals. "I have taken a handful of ballroom dancing lessons, but I've never competed in any kind of dance competition."
She first learned about Lighthouse through her father (Mr. Alan of "$29 or two for $50" shoes and sportswear fame) and was inspired when she visited our headquarters in Pontiac.
"I really align with Lighthouse because of their holistic approach to being of service," she says. "I also appreciate the duality of assisting a large number of people while being able to service individual and family needs with tremendous quality. Lastly, the value the organization places on building long-term, meaningful relationships is very important to me. Relationships are a fundamental part of growth."
You can catch Stacy's performance during this year's Flagstar's Dancing with the Stars virtual event Saturday, November 20.

As we finish one DIY project for Kaleigh's room, another is about to begin. So I thought it would be fun to give you a 'before' with all the pillow forms in place . The next time you see them they will be covered in the fabric Kaleigh has selected, which I showed you here.
Here is how we marked the pillow forms so I know what to cover each one with.
Can you tell this is a working list in progress?
Let's start with the bed.
And then the long narrow 19×9 will be covered in the turquoise fabric.
Can you see the graduated colour of the turquoise? I think this will be really effective on the long narrow pillow.
You can see the pillows on the pine chest are also tagged. Here is a full shot of that area.
And the middle one in the turquoise fabric. They are stacked the way K thinks she wants them to be, but we'll see how that goes once everything is finished. The poster, 'A Fire Inside' is Kaleigh's long-time favorite band, AFI, and she wants this hung above the pine chest.
Are you keeping track of how many pillows have to be covered so far? If you counted 9, you're right. There will be 14 in total, and here's where the other five are.
These are going to be covered, three in the turquoise and two in the gold fabric, and placed alternatingly on the sofa.
This star might be sprayed out as well, but Kaleigh's not sure what colour yet.
She's thinking of hanging it in her ensuite, but she might opt to have it in her main space instead. So the colour decision will have to wait until the rest of the projects are completed for her room.
And then there's the TV stand… and no, this isn't it!
We have found the perfect piece and will be re-purposing it to hold the TV and conceal the PVR. It will be a major project for me, and a whole new blog post… or two! We're really excited about this project and I can't wait to let you in on the story behind it! Kaleigh will be working with me, so this will truly be a labour of love times two!
But we won't know for sure until everything else is in place… well everything other than the TV stand. And we don't know if we'll be doing something fun and funky with the bulletin boards or not. Kaleigh already knows what she's putting on them, and she assures me they'll be fully covered!
We'll be keeping an eye out for artwork and other things to complete the look, but next up are the pillows, all 14 of them, for re-covering! Am I crazy, or would you take on 14 pillows at once, too?

Man rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in chimney during attempted home robbery
By Frank O'Laughlin
Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service Chief Spokesman Pete Piringer
(WHDH) — A suspected burglar had to be rescued by firefighters after he got stuck in a chimney during an apparent break-in attempt at a home in Maryland over the weekend, officials said.
Emergency crews responding to a report of a person stuck in a chimney at a home in Silver Spring around 6 a.m. on Saturday found a man stuck in the brick ventilation structure, according to the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service.
Dozens of firefighters spent about 90 minutes methodically removing bricks from the wall before they were able to extricate the man, who was taken to an area trauma center.
It's not clear how the man got stuck but police say he did not live at the home.
Photos from the scene showed a gaping hole in the wall and debris strewn all over the living room floor.
It's not clear if charges have been filed against the man.

(1/7) Just before 6a @mcfrs called to assist PD removing a man stuck in chimney, he was not authorized to be there. Rescue crews methodically removed the wall & bricks from around the chimney. He was extracted ~730a & transported to trauma center, ~2 dozen FFs on scene https://t.co/WQJAWoxoYP pic.twitter.com/mCPDyuwGGx
