What do Kogan and Google have in Common?
Last week, online retailer Kogan.com announced that it will enter the $2.7 trillion superannuation market with an "ultra-low-fee" offering in partnership with Mercer. Kogan is known in Australia as a supplier of electronics and homewares via an e-commerce portal. This is a significant departure by Kogan from its traditional business, although not the first, as Kogan now also represents a significant slice of the mobile phone service provider market, having introduced a very low cost offering of mobile phone plans. Under its agreement with Mercer, Kogan.com will provide the branding and marketing while Mercer will operate the fund and provide customer service. Kogan.com claims 1.45 million active customers and is aiming to launch the superannuation product early in 2019. Australians held 28.6 million superannuation accounts with $2.7 trillion in assets at June 30, according to Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia.
Also last week, Google announced that it is looking to move to a subscription model. It has been reported that this will initially be for Android apps and games. If Google does in fact launch such a service, dubbed "Play Pass" by some, who knows where such a subscription service might lead Google in the future?
Both Google and Kogan are exceptionally smart. They are looking to disrupt their traditional business model before they become commoditised. Many companies look to implement new business models way too late, since once a business is on the decline, it is very hard to backtrack.
Kogan's move is exceptionally interesting. If we are to compare the current e-commerce business model with that of a superannuation find, there are a myriad of differences, summarised in the table below. We will use elements of Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas for comparison. The key difference involves moving from an asset-heavy model of warehousing goods and shipping physical products to an asset-light model which needs no warehousing facilities or the handling of physical product. As well, the cost and revenue models will change significantly, as will the Resources and Partners.
Kogan is smart. Very smart. As Amazon scales up its Australian business, Kogan is definitely protected more than many retailers by its online presence, but well knows what a formidable opponent Amazon will become over time. Diversification is essential. Just like Amazon and Alibaba, Kogan has decided to leverage its customer base and marketing machine to move into financial services. Mind you, Amazon has been experimenting with this for a long time. The e-commerce giant is already making small-business loans, finding ways to cut into banks' swipe-fee revenue, and competing against prepaid card issuers. Several recent developments suggest that Amazon has substantially broader ambitions. Cheque accounts, small business credit cards and even mortgages all appear to be in the company's sights.
Apple has also made the move to financial services with Apple Pay. And of course, they have been in the game in storing your credit card and executing transactions for a long time with iTunes and Apple Music.
Kogan's thinking probably goes like this: In the face of possible commoditisation of the e-commerce business with possibly shrinking margins, take a leaf out of Apple and Amazon's strategy and move into financial services. Clever. And timely - while the existing business is doing well.
The key here is to adopt a new business model before the decline of the old. Easy to say, not always easy to implement. Many organisations have started alternative business models within their own organisation, only to find that the antibodies of the incumbent model overwhelm the DNA of the new model.
Time will tell if Kogan, and Google, are successful with their new models.


There are two methods of charting past work.
The Patient Chart in the sidebar is designed to chart past work, without it showing on the ledger. You may enter work here that was done by your office as well as work that was completed elsewhere.
Many offices want to differentiate between their past work and other offices' work. In this case, use the Patient Chart to enter the work outside of your office. Use the following method to enter your work, without adding these as new charges to be billed.
Charting work that was completed in the office before MacPractice was implemented will require the use of a new incident within the patient's dental chart. Click the Incidents menu and select New Incident. This will create a new incident in the patient's sidebar. MacPractice will prompt asking for an incident name. Enter in a title of Work Completed Before MacPractice.
Once the incident has been created, select the Completed Procedures and click on the graph icon to switch to the ledger view. Select the charges menu and click New Charge. The Charge Window will allow the user to select the Non-Production Fee Schedule from the first drop down box. Enter in the Procedure Date and move to the code box. Enter in the code or use the search button to find the correct procedure. Many charges will need a Tooth and a Surface value in order to appear graphically in the patient's chart. To add multiple procedures at a time, click the green plus button near the procedure table at the bottom of the window.
Once entered, switch back to the Graphical View by clicking the tooth icon. Notice that the chartings are displayed with a green outline to notate that the work was completed in the office. The Clinical Notes Table will also display the procedures with the correct date and tooth information.

The first recollection I have of Al Darbyson was an encounter at Hurley's Irish Pub one evening in March in the mid to late 1990s. In those days, the Marshals' pre parade meeting took place in one of the many downtown pubs, quite probably Cheers! on Mackay Street in this case. I can't recall the meeting, not for any reason of over consumption but because they all followed the same format. The Parade Director gets up, introduces everyone of special note in attendance, and goes over final details of the upcoming parade. Questions are asked of the Parade Director, many the same by the same marshals year in year out. Although fantastic social occasions, it was easy for one meeting to blend into the next in my memory over time.
Following the meeting a sizeable number of marshals retired to Hurley's for a pint of their favourite beverages. As I approached the main bar to pay the pints for Al and several of our fellow marshals, he was having absolutely none of that to the point where he and I almost came to blows. With a 40 year age difference, cooler heads quickly prevailed. From that point, Al and I got along well.
In searching through my records, the first mention I find of Aloysius is in the 1994 parade lineup booklet where he is listed as a marshal. Therefore the beginning of his relationship with the United Irish Societies has its origins sometime prior to March 1994.
Al and Norma regularly attended events and Al was a marshal every year from 1994 until his health prevented such participation, regularly appearing in the marshals' group photo from 2004 at the AMC Pepsi Forum. Norma passed away in February, 2000. We were all sad for the pain Al was going through and for the loss of our fellow member. Eventually Rena Brewster began to accompany Al to meetings, social functions, and to even join the organization and pitch in at the reviewing stand on parade day. They looked so happy together.
Sadly, Al passed away on June 29th after a courageous battle. We will all miss him, his smile, his presence, his sense of humour, his dedication to our organization, his friendship. We will remember him. His name will be added to our memorial plaque prior to April 2017, joining the names of other members who have gone to their reward, including that of his wife Norma.
Until we meet again, Al.

You can now ride an e-scooter in 10 Dubai districts
Alice Holtham
More than 2,000 scooters will be made available, although riders must have either a full driving license or a permit to use them…
Looking to see the city sights in style? Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that that from Wednesday April 13, you'll be able to ride an e-scooter in 10 Dubai districts on designated cycle tracks.
The network stretches across an impressive 167 kilometres, ranging from the suburbs of Dubai Internet City and JLT, to the scenic shores of the Palm and right to the heart of the city on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. Areas in Satwa and Al Rigga are also covered, as well as safe roads and tracks within specific zones of Al Qusais, Al Mankhool and Al Karama.
The operation of electric scooters on permitted cycling tracks has started in 10 districts across Dubai starting from Wednesday, April 13, 2022. pic.twitter.com/J8rlec9mJU
— RTA (@rta_dubai) April 10, 2022
If you don't own your own and need to hire one, the areas will be covered by 2,000 scooters, all of which will be operated by one of four companies.
Requirements for riding an e-scooter
Earlier this month, the RTA announced that under a new resolution, e-scooter riders are required to have either a full driving license (from the UAE or international) or apply for a free e-scooter permit and pass an online test. These will become available from May 1, and you can get them online at rta.ae. Riders below 16 are not permitted to ride electric bikes or scooters.
As more e-scooters come into use as the city looks at becoming more sustainable and two-wheel friendly, Dubai Police will ensure the compliance of road and e-scooter users.
"It is our duty in Dubai Police to control the road, and ensure that cyclists, e-scooter riders and users of all other mobility means comply with the safety conditions to protect them as well as others against the risks of roads," said Lt Gen Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police.

Musings 'n scribblings of a philanthrope .. : We are the maliks, dear politicians, you are the sevaks ..
We are the maliks, dear politicians, you are the sevaks ..
"We are the maliks, you are the sevaks .." the words which are ringing in the ears of each and every Indian looking for a change the way India is governed. Thanks to the movement spearheaded by Anna Hazare, we now have a team of 5 civilian and govt representatives each to draft the Lokpal bill.
Anna Hazare's demand that the proceedings of the committee be telecast live on National TV has got some of the govt representatives angry and concerned as they do not want to be seen in the public eye as supporting corruption. Their contention is that if the proceedings are telecast live, they would not get a free and fair chance to deliberate on the merits and demerits of the bill in length and confidentially before arriving at a consensus, lest they be misunderstood. In fact, the politicians need not be concerned as it the people of the land who have sent them to the legislatures and parliament and they reserve all right to decide what to do with these servants of the public.
Saturday 11.30 AM have to wait and see if the proceedings would be telecast live.
Let the $1.4 trillion of National exchequer money stashed away by our spineless politicians, bureaucrats and industrialists in Swiss banks be brought back to the country. Let all acts of corruption, from 2G, CWG, all purchase of lands by politician s across the country in different states using and misusing their positions of influence and authority for their personal pecuniary benefits be probed. Let the armed forces chiefs who cheated the widows of the Kargil war and got plush flats in Adarsh housing society be probed and made to surrender and forgo their investments.
This will set the ball rolling for more reforms and exposures and improve the functioning of Indian democracy and democratic institutions.
Let the politicians not forget that the public are the maliks and they are the servants. Over the past 60 years , the roles have reversed and their fundamental error in perception needs to be set right so that Indian democracy functions in all its grandeur and colour once again !!

Submitted photo – Former St. Bernard's star Esmeralda Torres led the Concordia University women's soccer team in points last season.
By Ray Hamill — A change of scenery has proven to be beneficial for one former St. Bernard's star, both on and off the field of play.
It's certainly been different for Esmeralda Torres, who moved 2,200 miles across the country to play soccer at Concordia University in Illinois, swapping the isolation of the North Coast to live within a stone's throw of the Windy City.
But Torres seems to be embracing every minute of it.
And it's not the only recent change the 2017 SB grad is liking these days.
With a new coach calling the shots for the team, Torres was moved from defender to forward for her sophomore season and was an instant success in the new role.
She played in all 19 of the NCAA Division-III Cougars' games, starting in 16, and her minutes went from around 200 as a freshman to more than 1,000 as a sophomore.
She also led the team in points, and was second in goals with four.
One of the highlights of the season for the former Crusader was scoring the winning goal against regionally-ranked Illinois Tech.
The Cougars finished the season 6-13, including a 6-5 mark in conference.
Torres has also embraced her new life off the field and appears to have settled in well to her new environment, just 15 minutes from Chicago.
This summer she will stay in the area to do an internship at Northwestern Mutual, on the way to majoring in Business Administration, with a minor in Sports and Fitness.
As for how a move all the way to Illinois came about, Torres says Humboldt State head coach Paul Karver played a big part in it.
"He helped me with the process," she said of her former AC Samoa coach, who has helped many local players move on to the collegiate level.
Torres got in contact with the Concordia coaches, who were immediately interested, and she flew out for a visit in October of her senior year, instantly taking to the program.
"The coach was super welcoming," she said.
In addition to playing for the Cougars, Torres also has taken on a coaching role at a local all-girls high school, Trinity High.
Now in her second year with the program, it's another aspect of her new life that she has embraced.
"The opportunity to share my love, enthusiasm and knowledge for the game is something I look forward to every day," she said.
She began coaching while still in Humboldt.
"It all started for me coaching at AC Samoa with Nick Parker, and at Humboldt Soccer Academy with Andy O'Brien where I would teach academy classes and sometimes travel to tournaments as an assistant coach," she said.
And it's something the former Crusader is hoping to continue after graduation, at either the high school or college level.
"My plan is to hopefully find a graduate assistant position for a soccer team at a university, men's or women's, hopefully near Chicago, and get my masters in athletic administration," Torres said.
The three-time North Coast Scholar Athlete is also a member of the leadership council on her team, as voted on by her teammates.
Torres played four years of soccer at St. Bernard's and competed for three seasons in track and field.
She is also vice president of the Concordia University Student Business Club.

Last weekend, I saw The Hoax, with Richard Gere. It's a fantastic movie, one of the best I've seen in a while. As soon as it ended, I had a compulsion to tell you about it. So I sat down and had a long talk with myself about why.
Why was it so important to me to tell other people? It's not a movie that will make the world a better place. It won't increase my reputation or give me a sense of power to be able to tell people about it. So why?
I don't know. It's just a really good movie.
Sometimes, we worry so much about tracking and selfish actions and mechanics that we ignore the biggest factor: people like to talk about stuff.
Which leads to this terrific commentary about the #1 song in America. Irony alert: it's tongue in cheek. My guess is that listeners on the radio today didn't get it. I'm glad to say I did.
Often, something is popular just because it's popular.

5 Great Lenses that You can Own for $1,000 or Less!
Let's face it, fellow shutterbugs; a photographer can never have enough good glass. For those of us on a budget, however, high-end lenses are often far out of reach. There are ways to get top-quality lenses in your bag without spending quite so much, though, and the keys are: 1) knowing what you want and 2) having the right source. You have to determine the answers to the first of those yourself. We're going to get you pointed in the right direction on the second in this article.
Talk about reach! Whether you're looking to capture wildlife or the moon, this lens has got the power to get you there. What's more, if you're currently shooting with Canon's 70-200mm or 75-300mm kit lens, this is your opportunity to see the difference an L-Series lens can make. As of this writing, there are 5 available, all for less than $900. Take a closer look here.
Here's one for the Nikon shooters, with that same reach and the added bonus of an aperture control ring that's awesome for changing the depth of field while you're recording movies. That feature also means you can use it on your older Nikon SLR. The aperture is controllable via your DSLR, of course, by locking the ring at the minimum setting. Choose one of four currently available for around $500. Make your selection here.
It's light, it's fast and it covers a nice range for landscape or street photography. It's also an L-Series lens, so you can expect high-quality images. There's no image stabilization, but with the wide maximum aperture, all you should need is proper camera handing. There are only two available right now, so you'll need to act quickly. Choose yours here.
If you're up to speed on Canon's lens designations, you'll know that this great walk-around lens is only for their APS-C sensor cameras. You'll also notice that it's not an L-Series, "pro" lens. On the plus side, it's got an incredible zoom range, for almost any general shooting situation, and it's got image stabilization, too.

In 2017, The Cecilia Chorus of New York performed a newly commissioned piece, Oedipus the King, by the twin composers Brad and Doug Balliett, known as The Brothers Balliett. Click here to read about the making of that work.
Now they have collaborated on a new commission, Fifty Trillion Molecular Geniuses, with texts drawn from Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's book and TED Talk My Stroke of Insight.
The Brothers Balliett: As identical twins we are, like the two hemispheres of the brain which Dr. Taylor describes, also two halves of something. There's something very complementary about our personalities, our interests, and about the way we approach life. It is part of what makes it so gratifying for us to collaborate. We have different strengths and different aesthetic priorities, and when we bring them together, hopefully we get the best of both.
Brad Balliett: Doug and I have been collaborating on pieces together our entire lives, ever since we could speak to each other, since the inception of our language. Actually, we had our own language first before we adopted English as our second language. Because it's such a long and fruitful collaboration, we really enjoy trying out all the many varieties available to us, sort of like going to a collaboration supermarket and looking at all the collaboration fruits. For every project we want to taste a different fruit. With each project, we start off a different way. Sometimes Doug writes the melody and I'll fill in harmony or the piano part. Or we'll switch off movement by movement or section by section. We even tried once switching off bar by bar, which sounds like a horrifying idea but it worked better than I thought it would; it had this kind of pendulum swing from one moment to the next, very soothing, and it worked for that piece. We should try that again sometime!
Doug Balliett: For this piece we tried something different, something like bookends. Brad set the central stroke episode, Dr. Taylor's actual experience, and I set the outer parts: the morning of the stroke, the right brain-left brain explanations and then the finale. We're working on the orchestration now, and we will switch – I will turn Brad's piano score into an orchestral part and he will do the same for mine. Click here to read full article.
Brad: I first encountered Dr. Taylor's book about 8 years ago. First I saw the TED Talk. I was smitten with the expanding horizons of the story and the way that it made me reconsider everything about my brain. I got the book and loved that too. It was one of those things that kind of simmers in the back of your mind for a while: could this be a dramatic piece or some sort of musical piece? We were just waiting for the opportunity to see how it would come about.
Doug: The content is so interesting to begin with, and then the story is so dramatic and the idea of somebody who spent their life studying the brain and then not only has this bizarre opportunity, almost from God, to study a stroke from the inside, but to come equipped with all of those tools! What a unique way to go through something like that. Forgive the analogy, but it's like you were a gorilla expert and you suffered a plane crash right into gorilla country, and because you were the gorilla expert you could immediately join their society and you were never in danger. It's a little bit like that. She has this deep understanding of strokes, so when she suffered one herself, she was immediately able to identify it and knew what to do, but she could also revel in this new perspective on her very field of expertise. There is a lot of drama, interest, spirituality, and humanity in the story that makes it perfect for a vocal work.
Brad Balliett, described as "impressive" by The New Yorker, loves life as a musical omnivore, focusing equal parts of his diverse career on composing, playing bassoon, and teaching artistry.
Brad frequently performs with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and has performed with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Metropolitan Opera, Houston Symphony, New York City Ballet, and the International Contemporary Ensemble, and at the Marlboro, Tanglewood, and Newport Jazz festivals. He has performed as a soloist with the Houston Symphony and Johannesburg Symphony Orchestras.
As a composer, Brad has witnessed and participated in a steady stream of premieres of his orchestral, chamber, choral, opera, and incidental music. Recent commissions have come from Carnegie Hall, Metropolis Ensemble, and the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra Wind Ensemble.
Brad is a member of the band/composer-collective Oracle Hysterical, and teaches history courses at Juilliard with his twin brother Doug.
As a teaching artist, Brad regularly leads composition and songwriting workshops in prisons, schools, hospitals, and homeless shelters. He is a faculty member at the Peabody Institute (Johns Hopkins University), the Juilliard School (Evening Division) and Musicambia (Sing Sing Correctional Facility). He loves birds and Shakespeare. For more about Brad Balliett, visit http://www.bradballiett.net/about.html.
Doug Balliett is a composer, instrumentalist, and poet based in New York City. The New York Times has described his poetry as "brilliant and witty" (Clytie and the Sun), his bass playing as "elegant" (Shawn Jaeger's In Old Virginny), and his compositions as "vivid, emotive, with contemporary twists" (Actaeon). Popular new music blog I Care if You Listen has critiqued Mr. Balliett's work as "weird in the best possible way" (A Gnostic Passion) and "light-hearted yet dark…it had the audience laughing one minute and in tears the next…" (Pyramus and Thisbe). He is professor of baroque bass and violone at the Juilliard School since 2017. With a constant stream of commissions, a podcast produced with his twin brother, and nearly 200 performances per year, Mr. Balliett has been identified as an important and active voice for his generation.

Astronomers Detect Water in the Atmosphere of a Planet 179 Light-Years Away
Posted on:	 26 November 2018, 01.26 Read: 1229
Gathering detailed information on exoplanets is extremely difficult. The light from their host star overwhelms the light from the exoplanet, making it difficult for telescopes to see them. But now a team using cutting-edge technology at the Keck Observatory has taken a big leap in exoplanet observation and has detected water in the atmosphere of a planet 179 light years away.
The solar system at the heart of this features a star called HR 8799, and its planets: HR 8799 b, c, d, and e. The system is 179 light years away in the constellation Pegasus. The star itself is a 30 million year old main sequence star. It's notable for a number of reasons, including its own odd stellar properties. But it's been noteworthy for another important reason. In 2008, scientists announced that they had directly observed three exoplanets around the star—HR 8799b, c, and d—using the Keck and Gemini telescopes. Then in 2010 they announced the discovery of a fourth planet, HR 8799 e.

This newest announcement builds on the earlier work from 2008, and the astronomers behind this study call the latest announcement a 'stepping stone' on the way to better and better images of exoplanets.
The new observations are of HR 8799 c, first observed in 2008. It's a young giant gas planet about 7 times the mass of Jupiter that orbits its star every 200 years. These new direct imaged observations confirm the presence of water in the atmosphere, and confirm the lack of methane.
"This type of technology is exactly what we want to use in the future to look for signs of life on an Earth-like planet." – Dimitri Mawet, study author, Caltech and JPL.
These new observations arise from a potent combination of two telescope technologies at Keck. The first is adaptive optics. Adaptive optics counteract the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere. The second is a spectrometer on the Keck 2 telescope called the Near-Infrared Cryogenic Echelle Spectrograph (NIRSPEC), a high-resolution spectrometer that works in infrared light.

"This type of technology is exactly what we want to use in the future to look for signs of life on an Earth-like planet. We aren't there yet but we are marching ahead," says Dimitri Mawet, an associate professor of astronomy at Caltech and a research scientist at JPL, which Caltech manages for NASA, and co-author of the study that presented these findings.
The new findings were published in the Astronomical Journal. The lead author is Ji Wang, formerly a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech and now an assistant professor at Ohio State University.
So far, astronomers have directly-imaged more than a dozen exoplanets. The HR 8799 system is the first multi-planet system to have been directly-imaged. But the images are only the first step in this study.
Once taken, the images can be analyzed for the chemical composition in their atmospheres. This is where spectroscopy comes in. In this case, the refined abilities of NIRSPEC were key.
NIRSPEC is an instrument on the Keck 2 telescope that operates in the infrared L-band. The L-band is a type of infrared light with a wavelength of around 3.5 micrometers, and a region of the spectrum with many detailed chemical fingerprints. "The L-band has gone largely overlooked before because the sky is brighter at this wavelength," says Mawet. "If you were an alien with eyes tuned to the L-band, you'd see an extremely bright sky. It's hard to see exoplanets through this veil."
By combining L-band spectography with adaptive optics, they overcame the difficulties of observing a planet who's light is almost drowned out by its star. They were able to make the precise measurements yet of the planet, confirming the presence of water and the absence of methane.
The Keck Observatory consists of 2 telescopes, Keck 1 and Keck 2, at Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Image Credit: Keck Observatory/Joey Stein.
"Right now, with Keck, we can already learn about the physics and dynamics of these giant exotic planets, which are nothing like our own solar system planets," says Wang.
"We are now more certain about the lack of methane in this planet," says Wang. "This may be due to mixing in the planet's atmosphere. The methane, which we would expect to be there on the surface, could be diluted if the process of convection is bringing up deeper layers of the planet that don't have methane."
Mawet's team is already preparing for the next and newest instrument at the Keck Observatory. It's called the KPIC, (Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer). KPIC will use adaptive optics and spectroscopy, but to even better effect. With KPIC, astronomers will be able to image planets that are even fainter, and closer to their star than HR 8799c is.
And the future is even brighter for exoplanet imaging. The technology behind adaptive optics and spectroscopy that helped image this planet will be put into use on our future telescopes.
"KPIC is a springboard to our future Thirty Meter Telescope instrument," says Mawet. "For now, we are learning a great deal about the myriad ways in which planets in our universe form."

There has never been a better time to cancel your BBC TV Licence. But time may be running out for you to make a lawful protest against the tyranny of the BBC TV Licence fee tax…
With every new scandal, twist and turn of the state broadcaster comes further evidence that this organisation is corrupt, wasteful and does not serve the interests of those who pay for it. The most recent controversy was the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson after a bizarrely described 'fracas' between himself and an assistant producer. Over ONE MILLION people signed the @GuidoFawkes #BringBackClarkson petition to reinstate Clarkson.
For the record I did not sign this petition. I simply do not see a role for a state propaganda machine in 2015 or beyond. Certainly I do not support that you should hand over your hard earned money on threat of prison for state permission to watch mainstream entertainment on a dying technological medium.
One thing is absolutely clear from the Clarkson sacking fiasco: the viewer is way down the pecking order as far as the BBC top brass is concerned. Top Gear was immediately pulled from the schedules on news of the 'fracas'. This was well before any formal finding was made against Clarkson which shows the contempt the BBC Top Brass had for the fans.
I of course recognise that the BBC Top Gear show with Clarkson as the lead host was immensely popular with its fans. I read many responses on twitter that questioned 'Why am I paying a licence fee if Top Gear is taken off the air'. Unfortunately, the TV Licence does not operate as a subscription service much as BBC would like you to think it does. Even if the BBC did not exist unless the TV Licence legislation was repealed, you would still have to pay the TV Licence fee to watch or record ANY live TV. As such, the TV Licence operates as a TAX. As a tax, the TV Licence is not a payment for any BBC service.
Quite simply, the TV Licence has survived at least half a century beyond its use-by date. There is no technological reason for it to exist today and it is merely an accident of history that it remains. So if you want to make the best protest you can against the BBC, the only way to do it is to STOP FUNDING THEM. You can do this legally and it takes only minutes to sort out.
There are several strategies that the legally licence free community recommend. Firstly I advocate you to stay within the law at all times. There is as yet no reason for anyone to break the law to protest against the BBC licence fee. All that is involved is some minor inconvenience of only watching catch-up tv services after they have been broadcast on TV.
There are the three simple rules to ensure you stay within the law and that the BBC's TV Licensing arm cannot bring a successful action against you in court:
Rule 1. Detune your TVs and disconnect any aerials or satellite feeds and cut or tape up the ends. (This is to satisfy the requirement that TV Receivers must not be installed)
Rule 2. DO NOT watch or record ANY LIVE TV on ANY device for ANY reason. (You may watch Catch-Up TV services after they have been shown on TV)
Rule 3. At all times NEVER ADMIT to any TV Licensing representative that you have watched or recorded ANY LIVE TV on ANY device for ANY reason. Also NEVER ADMIT TO WATCHING ANY INTERNET STREAMING BROADCAST as it is also shown on TV. This can be SKY NEWS or AL-JAZZERRA originally beamed from Doha. Note this is not restricted to just BBC as some mistakenly believe. Only ever say you watch DVD's/Netflix etc and Catch-Up TV only.
Mindful of the above rules your next steps are:
1. You must, absolutely must, CANCEL any TV licence you have. TV Licensing (aka Capita) assume (wrongly) you still need one if you don't inform them you are cancelling your TV Licence. You can do this by email to support@tvlicensing.co.uk (Note they take a long time to respond: up to a week. Recent reports are as many as 1000 people a day are cancelling TV Licences. Be patient and do not pre-empt additional unnecessary communication with the Capita contractor).
2. Cancel any direct debits you have to TV Licensing.
3. Optionally you can declare a "No Licence Needed". Ideally you should have no further contact with any TV Licensing representative (Capita). The link to the "No Licence Needed" declaration is here.
There are some further pointers to observe to ensure you stay safe from prosecution:
1. TV Licensing have no right of access to your property whatsoever except by a search warrant.
2. There is no legal obligation for you to have contact with them or provide them with any information except under a search warrant to provide 'reasonable assistance' to enable them to do their test of any TV receiving equipment found.
3. Most importantly: Get yourself informed. A thoughtful, reasoned stand against the BBC does take a bit of effort. Take the time to understand TV Licensing law. Here are some excellent blogs run by well informed people I thoroughly recommend:
The sad truth is TV Licensing is run as a high-pressure commission-based sales operation. It is a dirty business. Invariably, TV Licensing only convict on evidence you provide by way of an admission. Unless the TV is visibly on in the front room, there is no reason for you to provide them with any evidence against yourself whatsoever. Oh, the 'TV detector' is a crock: It has NEVER been used as evidence for any court conviction of watching live TV. It is only used to gather 'evidence' for a search warrant and even that is done on the shakiest of scientific basis.
A word of warning. In looking around the Internet you may come across "Freeman of The Land" (FMOTL) type arguments. They all boil down to essentially a concept of individual choice, contract, consent and a misunderstanding of common law. While I have sympathy with such purist thinking, FMOTL arguments only make for impressive YouTube videos. They absolutely DO NOT WORK at your local friendly Magistrates Courts or indeed in any court up to and including the Supreme Court. Parliament made law is accepted by all courts in the UK. Sorry about that.
I said at the outset that time for you to make a lawful protest against the BBC was running out. Indeed it is. The influential Department of Culture Media and Sport Select Commitee's preferred future funding model for the BBC is to introduce a flat household poll tax to be added to everyone's council tax regardless of whether they watch any BBC service or TV or radio at all. If this was introduced, there would be virtually NO escape from paying this charge. The enormity of this proposal is truly staggering given the litany of scandal that has come out about the BBC. But for right now the choice is still yours. Take back your choice and your money. There has never been a better time to cancel your TV Licence. Do it today!

Silence Is Golden: Never a truer word spoken when it comes to TV Licensing, the less communication with them, the better. Never sign anything either as a signature on the wrong piece of paper will condemn you. I don't watch TV, I don't even own a TV. I don't bother with catch up TV either. I quite happily live without it and have always found ways to keep myself occupied. If I can, anyone can.

Another point worth mentioning particularly in regard to making allegations of licence evasion a civil. rather than a criminal matter. there are fewer constraints on the penalties that can be levied against a persion found"liable" in addition the rules of evidence are less strict in comparison to criminal law.. in a civil case the BBC will find itself in the very powerfull p osition of being able to sue for "potential loss of revenue" and will not need to provide concrete evidence to suport its claim. it will be enough to cite "substantial probability" even worse, under the rules of hearsay evidence it is conceivable that a case can be braught against an individual on the basis that joe bloggs next door" swears he saw jane watching such and such" this may well be an over simplification of the differences between criminal v civil matters but civil litigation will be open to far greater abuse by the BBC and its cohorts.

Hi. I bought and am hosting http://www.banthebbc.co.uk – would you like it? Your site is so much better than what I was going to do!
BanTheBBC on 02/05/2015 at 10:56
Hi Darren – I really only do this as a hobby so I'm ok with the wordpress free blog. Are you hosting it on your home server or are you paying for hosting?
I have business hosting on a number of domains I own so it's practically free to host it. You're welcome to use it. No charge. And it's a direct domain, so no blog address. It'll be here for 2 years if you want to up the ante… thanks.

Any truth in this article?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2284337/TV-licence-evader-refused-pay-BBC-covered-facts-9-11.html
Tony was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay prosecution costs. It wasn't a 'win' as such.
interesting case especially as the court asserts that his video evidence was deemed" not relevant to the case" it shows that the licence fee is payable regardless of whether the BBC fund terrorism or not in the eyes of the court, and if so, then we must assume that the court syystem itself, is by definition and example. in breach of s15 of the terrorism act 2000 in that the defendant was not given the opportunity to proove his case adequately such is the gullability (?) of magistrates its why that route is taken because magistrates do not have the same degree of training as, say, a county court Judge..and as for justices of the peace!! unless things have changed since i laast looked they can be selected on the bases of "good standing" in the community and need not necessarily be legally trained( they are usually assisted by qualidied legal advisors)
The offence of TV Licence evasion is 'strict liability' (high court ruling) which means that if you admit to watching live TV without a licence there is no legal defence.

Microsoft Build 2019 Event Roundup: Here Are The Biggest Announcements
Microsoft has announced a bunch of new features and services at the annual Build 2019 Developer Conference.
Besides the Windows 10 operating system, which obviously remains the center of attention, other important announcements were made such as the much awaited Chromium-based Internet Explorer browser, new Windows Terminal, an online code editor, open sourcing of development kits, and much more.
So let's check out each of these announcements more closely —
Everything you need to know about Microsoft Build 2019
Visual Studio Online
Microsoft has launched 'Visual Studio Online,' a web-based code editor for developers to quickly edit code, review a pull request or join a Live Share session.
Visual Studio Online is based on Microsoft's popular free and open-source desktop code editor, Visual Studio Code. And it is as an addition to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.
So, this online code editor will support all extensions that are currently supported by Visual Studio Code and this includes popular features like Visual Studio Code workspaces. It is to be noted that Visual Studio Online is currently available only in private preview.
Microsoft has launched a new terminal for command-line users in Windows 10, dubbed Windows Terminal. This developer tool for Windows will be released in mid-June and will bring along shortcuts, tabs, and tear away windows, GPU-accelerated text rending — pretty much everything developers have been asking for a long while.
Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
Microsoft is here with the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 based on Linux 4.19 LTS kernel. This is the same kernel that the Redmond giant uses for its Azure platform.
This is why Microsoft claims WSL 2 will reduce Linux boot time and RAM usage. Besides these, the other major features include better filesystem performance, native Docker support, etc.
However, the new WSL will be made available later this year.
Quantum Computing Developer Kit – Open Sourced
The fact that Microsoft has been working on quantum computing for a long time isn't a new one. The company has already put in several efforts to boost quantum computing.
Be it the creation of Q#, a domain-specific programming language to write quantum codes or a compiler to compile quantum code written in Q# and a quantum simulator. All of these tools have been part of Microsoft's Quantum Development kit.
Now, at Build 2019, Microsoft has announced that it is open sourcing its Quantum Development Kit for developers and its code will be available on GitHub.
Two tools in specific: Compiler for Q# and quantum simulators will be made available to developers as open source tools.
Open Source Voting Platform
Microsoft wants to change how voting takes place during elections. To make voting transparent and secure, Microsoft has announced ElectionGuard – an open source and free platform that will provide end-to-end verification of votes during elections.
Other benefits of this open source voting platform include opening results to third-party organizations and allowing voters to verify their votes using a cryptographic technique called "homomorphic encryption."
The pilot programme for ElectionGuard SDK is expected to start around 2020.
Chromium-based Edge
The new Microsoft Edge comes with a redesigned home page. It will contain personalized news websites, recently opened documents and more. The new browser update adds options to maintain different levels of security while browsing online — Strict, Balanced and Unrestricted.
Strict security level allows no trackers whatsoever while Unrestricted allows all of them. Balanced privacy is a mix of both. In all three security settings, all malware is automatically blocked.
Furthermore, Microsoft introduced legacy support of Internet Explorer in the form of a special IE-mode and Collections. The Internet Explorer mode will allow users to access old websites without the switch to the Internet Explorer browser.
The Collections feature will boost online productivity by automatically formatting files, texts, and images into a neat window. Collections will also allow users to send a pre-formatted e-mail, chat message and a lot more with simple drag and drop.
Fluid Framework Concept
Microsoft also introduced the Fluid Framework concept, which is a powerful tool for team collaboration. Fluid Framework could be used to make real-time changes to the cloud, across multiple browsers. It was only showcased as a concept and will be released later this year on Microsoft 365 for developers.

Q: How can I improve my Freq to Voltage circuit? I had a term project which was based around Analog-to-Digital convertors.
We used anLM2907 Freq-toVoltage convertor to take a 150mVpp sine wave (0- 1kHz) and convert that to a voltage.  The voltage was sent to a PIC 18F4685 mcu that ran on a Northmicro101 proto board and through some embedded code would take the anaolg voltage and convert it to a 10bit value.  This value was translated back to a frequency value and displayed on the LCD.
It wasn't meant to be a bullet proof set-up, more about learning and implimenting the concepts learned through the term.  However what we found was that the frequency on the LCD would creep upwards 1 or 2 Hz after about 15-20 minutes and would keep on doing a very slow creep the longer we ran the circuit.
My question is what would be the most likely cause for this creep and how would we eliminate it in a future version?
The F2V circuit was tied to the NM101 protoboards +9V power supply and the output of the F2V circuit was set for +5V output max for PIC input pin protection.

A: I suspect a big part of the drift you're seeing is related to this equation in the LM2907 datasheet:

This shows that the LM2907 output voltage will drift linearly if your Vcc drifts. If you are not using an extremely good regulator to power the LM2907, this could easily account for 0.2% of drift.
If you are using a precision reference circuit for your ADC (or a bandgap reference internal to the uC), you might try switching to using Vcc as the reference. With a Vcc-referenced ADC any affect of Vcc drift on the LM2907 output will be compensated by the drift in the ADC operation.
Edit: I remove the prior advice because I see you are powering the LM2907 from 9 V, while the PIC is powered from 5 V; therefore, you can't expect the two power supplies to drift equally.

A: You have to consider all possible sources of drift; any term in the equation from Photon's answer is a possibility, plus (potentially) the temperature of the chip itself.
the Photon pointed at probably the chief culprit : the 9V supply. However, the values of R1 and C1 may change with temperature, and so may the "constant" K as the LM2907 temperature changes. Diagnosing temperature drift is easier WITHOUT a simulator : touch the suspect components with a warm finger while watching the output. (Follow ESD precautions, and on vacuum tube or other HV equipment be careful!).
Hairdriers or freezer spray are also useful, but a scatter gun approach. If the circuit is stable in the face of such abuse, look elsewhere, but they won't pinpoint a single component.
It's likely you find more than one culprit; though hopefully you will find one main offender and fixing it will be "good enough".
Capacitors vary in their thermal stability : Z5U ceramics are terrible; some other ceramics are much better; polystyrene foil caps are very good, for the longest time, silver mica capacitors were highly prized as the best choice for frequency stable circuits.
Resistors also vary but not so much; there are metal film precision resistors with 10ppm/K temperature stability if that's the culprit.
If the chip itself is temperature sensitive, there are a variety of possibilities such as building temperature dependence into its power supply, or cancelling out the drift with a second chip at the same temperature, or even (for precision equipment) controlling the chip's temperature in an oven. Consider these as "advanced" and don't go there unless you have to...

Carlos Rosado
Carlos Antonio Rosado is a Brazilian jiu jitsu red belt (9th degree), being not only the youngest man to ever receive the honourous grade in the martial art, but also the only red belt ever awarded by the late Carlson Gracie. Regarded by many as the best student from Carlson Gracie's first generation of black belts, Carlos Rosado is also the founder of the Rosado Jiu Jitsu Academy.

Carlos Rosado Biography
Carlos Rosado was born on the 4th of January, 1949 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Though Rosado started training judo at 10 years of age, it was not a pleasurable activity, and more of a chore he imposed on himself. At the age of 16 (1965) he decided to enroll in Carlson Gracie's academy at Av. Copacabana, no. 583 (later Carlson would move to the famous Rua Figueiredo Magalhães, nº 414 – 3º andar), a gym that was in its infancy at the time, Rosado being student #60 on the membership card.
Although Rosado found it hard to adapt to judo, in jiu jitsu he became known as a natural talent, and by the time he was a purple belt Carlos was already dominating black belts. It was during this period that Rosado started being called by Master Carlson Gracie to "welcome" any new visiting black belts at the academy. When the time came, Carlson had one word for Carlos Rosado: "Escóva" (smash him).
Though there weren't many competitions when Carlos Rosado was active, he did compete, and when he did crowds would gather to watch. One of the people that took notice of Rosado's technical ability was none other than Master Helio Gracie, who is seen on tape praising Rosado's fighting skills to Pedro Hemetério after a tournament won by Carlos.
Regarded as one of the top brown belts in the country, by 1979 Carlos Rosado received his black belt. Throughout the years Master Carlson Gracie often praised Rosado skill and attitude as being "more than a black belt", as the rules set by the Brazilian jiu jitsu federation at the time allowed for red belts to be awarded to black belts over 40 years of age, as soon as Carlos was eligible, Carlson awarded him the honorary grade, this way making him the youngest Brazilian jiu jitsu red belt on record. Since then the federation has re-written the regulations regarding the time frames necessary to reach each belt, and those periods extended. As such this record will remain unbeaten for the foreseeable future.
As a red belt, Carlos taught and had a career outside jiu jitsu, not always finding the time to train and roll, but he sometimes visited the Carlson Gracie Academy to train with the younger crowd and keep his technique sharp. It is said by those who lived during that time, that when he visited, Rosado would run through even the toughest black belt competitors, leaving everyone in awe of his technical hability.
Carlos Rosado has also founded his own academy in Brazil, together with his son (and business partner) Massa Rosado, who is a 5th degree black belt under Masters Rosado and Carlson. The Rosado Jiu Jitsu academy runs in one of Rio de Janeiro's most popular areas, Copacabana.

Cassio Cardoso in a interview mentioned a guy by the name of Fernando Rosenthal apparently he tapped Rosado out in 1 minute in internal trial match, any small tidbit of information anybody can share on that?
Rosenthal is also from the first generation of black belts awarded by Carlson. Don't know if this is what you were looking for.
I was just curious on how good Rosenthal was.
Donald Travesseiro says:
I'm a huge fan of the entire Carlson Army .. that is the first I heard of Mestre Rosenthal.
Yeah i dont really know much about him either just the little ive read or heard in pod cast.
One thing i readon a brazilian forum is when Rozenthal was a purple belt he would put both hands in his belt and dare you to pass and upper belts used to really struggle, dont know if thats true or not.
