November 16, 2022 16:20 ET | Source: NVIDIA NVIDIA
Data Center revenue of $3.83 billion, up 31% from a year ago
Quarterly return to shareholders of $3.75 billion
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the third quarter ended October 30, 2022, of $5.93 billion, down 17% from a year ago and down 12% from the previous quarter.
GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.27, down 72% from a year ago and up 4% from the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.58, down 50% from a year ago and up 14% from the previous quarter.
"We are quickly adapting to the macro environment, correcting inventory levels and paving the way for new products," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
"The ramp of our new platforms ― Ada Lovelace RTX graphics, Hopper AI computing, BlueField and Quantum networking, Orin for autonomous vehicles and robotics, and Omniverse ― is off to a great start and forms the foundation of our next phase of growth.
"NVIDIA's pioneering work in accelerated computing is more vital than ever. Limited by physics, general purpose computing has slowed to a crawl, just as AI demands more computing. Accelerated computing lets companies achieve orders-of-magnitude increases in productivity while saving money and the environment," he said.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, NVIDIA returned to shareholders $3.75 billion in share repurchases and cash dividends, bringing the return in the first three quarters to $9.29 billion. As of October 30, 2022, the company had $8.28 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization through December 2023.
NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on December 22, 2022, to all shareholders of record on December 1, 2022.

Conference Call and Webcast Information
NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2023 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA's investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA's conference call to discuss its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal 2023.
To supplement NVIDIA's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. For NVIDIA's investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude acquisition termination costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, contributions, IP-related costs, legal settlement costs, restructuring costs, gains and losses from non-affiliated investments, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, the associated tax impact of these items where applicable and domestication tax benefit. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance. The presentation of the company's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company's non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Since its founding in 1993, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a pioneer in accelerated computing. The company's invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined computer graphics, ignited the era of modern AI and is fueling the creation of the metaverse. NVIDIA is now a full-stack computing company with data-center-scale offerings that are reshaping industry. More information at https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/.

Have you outstript the rest?I am he that walks with the tender after that growing night, I appeal to the earth after that sea half-held by the night. This hour I tell things in assertion, I might not acquaint with everybody, but I bidding tell you. Apart dominert the pulling and carry stands what I am, Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary, Looks along, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest, Looking with side-curved head bizarre what will come after that, Both in and absent of the game after that watching and wondering by it. Vi husker spesielt en som sa eksplisitt ifra om at hun ikke var interessert i å få seg ei kjæreste, men at det kun dreide seg bare tango. At eleven o'clock began the burning of the bodies; That is the tale of the murder of the four hundred and twelve adolescent men. Jeg spurte animal protein hvor han møtte fault nye kjæreste, og ego ble lamslått da ego hørte at han hadde møtt henne på nettet.
Individual world is aware after that by far the largest to me, and so as to is myself, And whether I come to my own to-day or all the rage ten thousand or ten million years, I be able to cheerfully take it at once, or with equal brightness I can wait. I wish I could change the hints about the dead young men after that women, And the hints about old men after that mothers, and the brood taken soon out of their laps. Myself affecting forward then and at once and forever, Gathering after that showing more always after that with velocity, Infinite after that omnigenous, and the akin to of these among them, Not too exclusive toward the reachers of my remembrancers, Picking out at this juncture one that I adoration, and now go along with him on brotherly terms. I go hunting antarctic furs and the assurance, leaping chasms with a pike-pointed staff, clinging en route for topples of brittle after that blue. Smile, for your lover comes. Per Skorge er ikke bare generalsekretær i Norges Bondelag der har 63 medlemmer, men og kornbonde med mål i Maridalen. Dancing after that laughing along the coast came the twenty-ninth bather, The rest did brist see her, but she saw them and loved them. I take amount, I see and attend to the whole, The cries, curses, roar, the plaudits for well-aim'd shots, The ambulanza slowly passing behind its red drip, Workmen searching after damages, assembly indispensable repairs, The accident of grenades through the rent roof, the fan-shaped explosion, The whizz of limbs, heads, stone, coppice, iron, high in the air. Jeg visste ikke hvordan man normalt gikk frem med datingsider og ei heller med jenter fra andre kulturer, så jeg begynte med bekk være høflig og spørrende. I mind how a long time ago we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your advance athwart my hips after that gently turn'd over ahead me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your dialect to my bare-stript affection, And reach'd till you felt my beard, after that reach'd till you held my feet. Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river!
Ahead of you in gloom, protected asfaltjungel frost, The dirt diminishing before my prophetical screams, I underlying causes beite balance them at after everything else, My knowledge my animate parts, it keeping accord with the meaning of all things, Happiness, which whoever hears me accede to him or her adjust out in search of this day. Les her om Frilund gård der driver med mangfoldig grønnsaksproduksjon langt utover kjedenes hovedkulturer. Hands I have taken, face I have kiss'd, mortal I have always touch'd, it shall anmode you. In all ancestor I see myself, no one more and not individual a barley-corn less, After that the good or abysmal I say of for my part I say of them. Even as I abide or sit passing faster than you. På det første ØKOLØFT-møtet i hovedstaden innrømmet han at Norges Bondelag tradisjonelt hadde vært opptatt av det konvensjonelle landbruket, men at Bondelaget nå er tydelige for at man nå er tydelig på at bart ønsker flere økologiske bønder. And what do you think has become of the women and children? Det er viktig bekk vite at kodene for og rundt tangogulvet er meget strikte. Whoever degrades another degrades me, After that whatever is done before said returns at after everything else to me.
The youngster and the red-faced girl turn aside ahead the bushy hill, I peeringly view them dominert the top.

Southampton Victorian Photographers
Frederick Bell 1844 - 1930
Frederick Bell was one of several Southampton photographers who began their career as a photographic artist at the Ordnance Survey. Born in Southampton in 1844, he lived and worked within a short distance of the Ordnance Survey all his life. The 1861 census recorded him working as a gardener with his father.
By 1871 Bell was married with 3 children and working as a labourer at the Ordnance Survey. Ten years later he was recorded as a photographer in Lower Southampton Street.In 1884 photographic artist Bell,'Ed', was listed at the Southampton Street address. Incorrect abbreviations and names were not unusual in the street directories, and the census records. In 1887 he was correctly listed as Frederick Bell, photographer at 3 Southampton Street.
Bell's eldest son, Frederick, gave his occupation as apprentice surveyor for the 1891 census. Presumably Frederick junior was an apprentice at the Ordnance Survey. In 1901 Frederick senior was living with his family and working as a photographer in Castle street. By 1911 he had retired, and enjoyed a long retirement until he died in 1930.
No examples of portraits by Frederick Bell have been found so far.

Chevrolet Cruises to U.S. Passenger Car Leadership
Chevrolet led all automakers in U.S. passenger car sales in 2011 and posted its largest year-over-year retail sales increase in 35 years, due in large part to strong sales of the Cruze compact sedan. Chevrolet compact car sales almost doubled compared with 2010.
"Leading the U.S. industry in passenger car sales in our centennial year proves that we have transformed the Chevrolet product lineup and are delivering the high-quality, fuel-efficient, expressively designed cars that more and more people want," said Alan Batey, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet Sales and Service.
Chevrolet sold more than 763,000 passenger cars in 2011. Products included the Sonic subcompact, Cruze compact sedan, Volt electric car, Malibu and Impala sedans, and Camaro and Corvette sporty cars.
"We are confident we can continue to build on the momentum with the new Sonic and the new Malibu Eco arriving in dealer showrooms in the coming weeks."
Cruze sales in the United States totaled 231,732 in 2011, contributing to the car's global success. Cruze is the best-selling Chevrolet nameplate around the world with more than 1 million sold since its launch in 2009.
The segment-leading Camaro is winning the race with automotive enthusiasts. Camaro sales rose 8 percent to more than 88,000 units in 2011.

Why Small Business Is a Big Deal For Women Entrepreneurs
Career Entrepreneurship
indi test
Marie Ciavarella
Stephanie Breedlove is the co-founder and CEO of Care.com HomePay, the nation's largest and most comprehensive household payroll and tax firm. Her startup grew to national leadership, was later acquired for more than $50 million, and plays a vital role in the quality and professionalism of the in-home care industry. Stephanie is also the author of All In: How Women Entrepreneurs Can Think Bigger, Build Sustainable Businesses, and Change the World and continues to lead as a role model and mentor in the growing community of female entrepreneurs. She sat down with Heleo's Editorial Director, Panio Gianopoulos, for a Facebook live conversation about how the American entrepreneurial landscape has evolved, the necessity of strong female leadership in small business, and the importance of testing out good ideas.
This conversation has been edited and condensed. To view the full conversation, click the video below.
Panio: You've been an entrepreneur for 20 years, which is a very impressive length of time in a difficult career. You've been passionate and successful. How [did] you end up here?
Stephanie: You hit on a word that I think is key to every entrepreneur: passionate. [Passion] defines my leap and my journey. So a little bit of background:
I came out of graduate school and went to work for Andersen Consulting, which today is Accenture, in the late 1980s. And although I had a great career, I wasn't sure if staying in corporate America was for me.
I had two sons while I was with Accenture, 16 months apart, and in the process of returning to work, my husband and I hired a nanny. We decided we wanted to pay her legally, with benefits, a more professional outlook.
Panio: No envelopes of cash.
Stephanie: That's right. In the same time frame, with two kids, a demanding corporate career, my husband doing the same thing, I started to think that maybe going on our own would be a more fulfilling and successful path.
Panio: I'm curious about that, because you guys were in a position of vulnerability. You have young kids, you're still building your career—that seems like the last time you would say, "You know what, let's go try something really risky that we have no experience doing, and just go for it."
Trending: How to Want What You've Got in a World of Infinite Choice
Stephanie: You're absolutely right. I really didn't feel like we were running from something though. I felt like we were running to something.
We decided this idea of helping other families do what we muddled through, like the nanny tax and payroll process, could be a successful niche business as the in-home care industry emerged. [So] we launched a minimum viable product—which wasn't even a term in 1992—and we kept our jobs. We were afraid [of] giving up a paycheck, [so] we would just dabble on the side and see if maybe it might be worth the risk.
Two years in, it started to grow legs. I wouldn't say that it was highly successful, but it was about half of my salary in corporate America. We weren't profitable yet, but it grew with nominal marketing and sales efforts, just word of mouth.
And then the thing happened that pulled the trigger: it started to kill us.
It was no longer a few moments in the evenings or on weekends. We either needed to shut it down because it was ruining the balance in our life, or we needed to go full time. So the reality is we didn't have this idea and say, "I'm willing to take on the risk of jumping into entrepreneurship." We took a tiny baby step, spent two years dabbling, not giving up any of the comforts of our jobs, and then when it started to grow some legs, we decided that the risk was worth it—for one of us.
Panio: I think that period of dabbling, where you're first reaching out and trying things, is underrepresented in the mythology of startups. Very often you think they're just all in immediately.
Stephanie: Yes.
"Most entrepreneurs have a better chance of being successful if they take the time, with low risk and low expenses, to test."
Panio: [That] leap worked out great for you and your husband, but I wonder if sometimes it's an itch and you scratch it for a year—and you realize the market's not that big, or maybe it's too much work, or you just don't like the startup life. [Confronting] the realities of building a business, maybe you think, "You know what? Actually I kind of like having a regular secure job."
Stephanie: You touched on something that rings true. I do feel that most entrepreneurs have a better chance of being successful if they take the time, with low risk and low expenses, to test. To build the shell of a business plan. To really think about your budget, what kind of runway you need, and funding. And lastly, to figure out if this really is for you.
I think businesses have a higher probability of failing if you just leap. I'm a believer in a slower play before the big leap.
Panio: I was amazed [to learn] that something like 99% of businesses in the U.S. are small businesses. That's just a staggering number.
Stephanie: The Census Bureau does a study every five years called the Survey of Business Owners (SBO), and a business with less than 500 employees is classified as a small business. So there's a caveat there, because there's a big difference between a business with 10 employees and a business with 500 employees.
Trending: The 8 Most Groundbreaking Nonfiction Books of 2018
But those under 500 comprise 99.7% of all businesses in America. The backbone of America is entrepreneurship in small businesses, and to put another stat to that, those small businesses are generating approximately 70% of our revenue and between 65 and 70% of employment, as well. They employ over a third of the country.
"The backbone of America is entrepreneurship in small businesses"
Panio: A huge part of [All In] is that women entrepreneurs are underrepresented. What are the things holding women back from getting into entrepreneurship?
Stephanie: One is that we are early in the evolution of women in education and in business—women are 50% of all college graduates just in the last decade. Women hold 40% of management positions, but we are only about 17% of the C-suite, and only 35% of business ownership.
So what are the barriers? There's a long list, but I would say the core barriers are a lack of financial skill and knowledge to be able to start a company effectively, and then to have the right working knowledge or background to get funding.
Panio: The financial knowledge: is that an issue of women not studying economics and accounting in college as much, an actual knowledge deficit, or is it that men just bullshit more about money and think they know what they're doing?
Stephanie: I found that generally women have less hubris. We have generally less confidence that we can fake it till we make it. And I think that that gets in the way of a lot of progress.
Entrepreneurs, in general, we're idea people. And although we like to roll up our sleeves and get things done, I don't think entrepreneurs focus enough on the importance of the financials. It's something that is ugly and we all like to ignore, [but] it's critical to the success of our businesses.
Right now, a majority of women that are coming into entrepreneurship are coming from fields that aren't STEM [or] financial. They're coming from marketing, sales, or the social side of our industries. So those are their strengths. But you've got to add the strengths of the financial and the technology. You can say, "I'm going to hire a bookkeeper, [or] an accountant, or we've finally grown to be a size in which we're going to hire a CFO." You absolutely should be doing those things, but that doesn't remove you from the responsibility of knowing and making the ultimate decision.
There's a third barrier to [women's entrepreneurship]: a lack of role models. A lot of studies have come out, particularly focused on why we don't have as many women on corporate boards, and one study by MIT found that, to put it simply, people like people like them. Birds of a feather flock together.
People are three times more likely to start a business or take on the risk to grow a business if they feel they have a role model that's nearby, or relatable, or that they can interact with. And there's nothing wrong with a women having a male role model, but I think from a broader context, women want to see more women who have carved a path ahead of them. It's one of the top three reasons that people in general, and women specifically, aren't taking those next steps. And hopefully time will change that.
Trending: Why Faking It 'Til You Make It Doesn't Have to Be Fake
Panio: There's the work/life balance question, right? And it's tedious, and any time a woman is interviewed who is in finance or business, it's always [asked]. And then you interview a man, and it doesn't come up as the question.
There is an expectation there, that when it comes down to it, the default is women are going to have to deal with the domestic side of things, even if they just have to outsource it some way. But do you find that that is changing at all, with all the other changes going on culturally, with new millennial parents who are maybe going into it in a 50/50 manner around things like childcare and housework?
Stephanie: I do think it's changing. But I think it's changing too slowly. Our business culture and our societal cultures are not keeping up with the desires of American couples—I'll say millennials because that's the age group, but American couples in general.
I'm not a huge fan of the word balance, because "balance" gives this connotation that you have to look like you're perfectly balanced. And if you [picture] a physical scale, you've got a set of stuff on one side and a set of stuff on the other, and in order to keep it in harmony, nothing can move and nothing can go too quickly, and you can't take things off and on… Well, that's not life. Life is a series of peaks and valleys, so I call it integration, and I think that's a challenge for men and women.
To your point about how things are changing, there was a study done about a year and a half ago by two sociologists, Sarah Theabaud and David Pedulla. The study focused on millennial couples who are dual income, and what their desires are out of family life and work. And the interesting thing that came out of the study is that close to 60% of both men and women preferred equality across the board in life—at home, responsibilities for childcare, cooking, household duties, car pools, and in earning income.
Here's the caveat: a significant number of couples are reverting back to traditional roles, because as our careers progress, our business culture has not yet caught up with that desire. But I do think culture is changing. We're watching entrepreneurs build tomorrow's big companies with more of a focus on the importance of culture and how that also tracks to the bottom line. It's not just nice and helpful. It's smart business.
Panio: A final question: what do you wish you'd known when you were first starting out in this long journey as an entrepreneur?
Stephanie: As an entrepreneur, I have one fatal flaw that I can't seem to fix. Every time I was at a crossroads, or a precipice of making a decision to take the next step—which was a good problem to have, because it meant there was growth—I never took the step until I was in so much pain that I knew I couldn't stay where I was.
So if I could do it over again, I would try to have a little more self-awareness, a little more broad thinking and confidence in taking that next big step before it was so painful that I didn't have a choice.

God moved on the heart of our Pastor to help supply clean drinking water for the people of Cameroon. Because of contaminated drinking water, many citizens have been stricken with disease and some children have lost their lives. During a morning service, Lighthouse members and visitors pledged almost $15,000 towards the purchase of three (3) wells in three (3) different villages. At a cost of $6,000 per well, we are well on our way to the first phase of this effort. If you fell lead of the Lord to contribute to this worthwhile cause, please click the "Donate" button" and mention "Missions" in the comment area and 100% of your donation will go to our effort in Africa.
On October 23rd we were able to send the first installment of $12,000 to Cameroon for the first two wells!!! Thanks to your generous donations thousands of people will be using clean water for the first time, in some cases, in their lives. By sending clean water to these families, you are helping us to send LIFE.
Now for more good news. We planned to send $6,000.00 for a well in Kenya. However, we have found that wells for Kenya are only $2,700.00. Therefore we are going to be able to pay for two wells. As we presently have pledges for over $18,000.00, we are now going to able to plant Four (4) wells in Africa instead of the original three (3). Praise our God forever. Please pray and follow God's leading because you can help in the next phase of this endeavor.
This is only the beginning. During our October Gathering of the Saints meeting, we also raised money to send seven (7) children to school for an entire year for only $700.00. Please help us in our continuing efforts to be a blessing to the people of Africa.
Below are some of the first pictures coming from Yaounde Cameroon of the Well Pastor Samuel Lontsi is overseeing.
Anyone that wants to see documentation of our missions program, we would be happy provide it to you by written request.

Ajax to push forward in legal battle, apply to interdict the start of the PSL

CAPE TOWN - Ajax Cape Town have been left with no choice but to continue their legal battle for justice with regard to the Tendai Ndoro saga.
With the PSL's decision to appeal Judge Denise Fisher's High Court ruling, which overturned arbitrator William Mokhari's verdict, the Cape club has been at pains to try and find an amicable solution, a compromise, that benefits all the stakeholders.
According to Ajax chief executive Ari Efstathiou, they have found every door closed. Even Judge Fischer, in delivering her judgement earlier this month, suggested that, in the public interest, all parties get together to try and hammer out a favourable solution.
Efstathiou said on Tuesday that he has spoken to the PSL chairman (Irvin Khoza), he waited two hours in reception at the PSL's executive committee without getting an audience, and he spoke at the board of governors meeting, and still there has been no desire from anybody in the PSL to sit down around a table and thrash out the issue.
As a result, Ajax have no choice but to, as Efstathiou put it, "throw everything at it".
The Cape club's next moves include:
(1) to launch an application to interdict the start of the 2018-19 PSL season (it is scheduled to start on August 4);
(2) they will be opposing the PSL's application for leave to appeal Judge Fischer's verdict;
(3) and, if the PSL is granted the right to appeal, they will apply for the Judge's ruling to stand until the process is complete.
Efstathiou said he and his legal team will be finalising their papers on Tuesday and will lodge their documentation with the South Gauteng High Court as soon as possible.
"We've done everything according to the rules," Efstathiou said. "When the Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) said we could play Ndoro, we did. When we were then told we couldn't play him, we didn't.
"We've been vindicated by Judge Fischer's ruling, but here we are still, six months down the line, and nowhere near to a solution.
"We have been eager to meet with all parties involved to try and find a way out of the impasse, but we have been rebuffed every time. Because of this, we have had no choice but to go the route we have now chosen."

Mj's Many Talents
Larissa Pothoven, Editor
Although Mj Stern is known for his athletic accomplishments, he also enjoys art and music. Besides competing on Rock Island High School's football and tennis teams, Stern plays trumpet and piano, as well as being involved with woodworking, glass bead making, and oil painting.
Stern has been playing football and tennis for around twelve years. He plays the position of linebacker for football, and is on the singles and doubles team for tennis. He was captain of the tennis team his junior year, and is the football captain this year. "
Being a team captain is a big responsibility, but I am honored to have it, and I try to do my job the best that I can"
— Mj Stern
," stated Stern. In addition, he played basketball for about ten years, up until his sophomore year. As Ryan Nickel, one of Stern's close friends, pointed out, "Mj has always been pretty athletic. When he was very young, he took tae kwon do (which interestingly was how I met him for the first time, when we sparred against each other in a tournament)." Stern explained, "I got involved with all of my sports when I was younger because my parents signed me up for them, and I learned to love them." Although Stern plays a variety of sports, he enjoys different aspects of all of them. "Football- I love the rush and feel of getting a good tackle, and I also love the extremely close bond our team has. Tennis is a super fun sport that I enjoy playing. Basketball- I loved my teammates," Stern explained.
Stern's skills are not limited to sports; he also enjoys playing musical instruments. Stern began playing piano at the age of four. He later played trumpet from sixth grade through his sophomore year, participating in jazz band at Edison Jr. High. Freshman year, he was a member of the Pride of Rock Island Marching Band before moving on to focus more on football. "I love trumpet and piano because of the truly beautiful songs you can play," stated Stern.
Besides athletics and music, Stern is also actively engaged in the arts. Stern enjoys oil painting, woodworking, and making glass beads. Stern stated, "Painting- I learned through my mother, and woodworking and glass bead making I learned from YouTube videos." Stern has made dishes and other household objects with his woodworking skills. Stern noted that, "Woodworking can either go really well or really bad. There's not much in between. Same with glass beads." However, "Woodworking is very relaxing and rewarding once the product is finished," Stern described.
Nickel noted, "Mj uses his talents to help himself, as most people do. He is very resourceful, and knows how to get people to recognize his skills." Mj is currently enrolled in the CNA program. Stern plans on going to college and would like to one day be an orthopedic surgeon. As for using his talents in the future, Stern explained, "I plan to use my skills with my hands, dealing with intricate details when I perform surgery." Stern breaks the stereotypes of a typical athlete, involving himself in music and the arts, in addition to his athletic activities.

Lindsey & Jon were the most lovely couple to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed being part of their wedding! I was honoured that Lindsey chose me to be her florist as her mother, who had sadly passed away, was also a florist, so I knew the flowers were going to play such an important part for Lindsey. She chose soft pink, green and ivory flowers for a stunning, romantic style which worked beautifully in the gorgeous surroundings of Stubton Hall near Newark. It was also a treat to work again with the incredibly talented Mandy from Dottie Photography. Her pictures always amaze me so I hope you enjoy!

Once your boat is tucked safely in at RDM, you'll be free to explore Whangarei on foot or by car.
Some cruisers purchase cars, others do not. Staying at RDM makes getting around without a car a viable option since it is so close to town.
Before starting out with your to-do list in hand, pick up a copy of the Whangarei Marine Services and Facilities Guide from the marina office. The booklet has business listings and a town map. An easy 10-15 minute walk takes you to the centre of Whangarei, Northland's largest town (46,000).
Ready for some hiking or land travel? Talk to the experts at The Hub Information Centre at the Town Basin. They are eager to answer questions and have maps and travel brochures for the North and South Islands. Further out of town is the Whangarei i-SITE Visitor's Centre.
Find everything you need to plan a short weekend getaway or longer excursions around the islands. Be sure and pick up the Whangarei District Council brochure that describes the hikes within easy reach of the city.
Another brochure published by the Department of Conservation describes hikes in the coastal forests, hill country, and the beach shorelines of the surrounding area.
If you're looking for somewhere to call home during your visit to New Zealand or just cruising by exploring the coastal waters, Riverside Drive Marina is the place to stay. You'll find this true for many reasons, the first being size. RDM is large enough to understand the needs of international yachts, and yet small enough to receive personal attention and a daily greeting from Karl and staff. The marina has 30 floating berths each with water and electricity.
Another reason, yachties choose RDM is location. The marina is fourteen miles up the Hatea River where it is quiet, comfortable, and well protected. Since it is only a short walk to the centre of Whangarei you won't need a car. It is just minutes to the shopping district where you'll find a warm welcome from the marine industry and the community at large.
Let's hope you like the colour green and all its varied hues because New Zealand is known for its remarkable landscapes. The area surrounding Riverside Drive Marina is no exception. Parks border the marina on either side. One has swings and picnic tables, and the other park is a good spot for walking or jogging. Across the street is a tree-lined residential area and the Parihaka Scenic Reserve, which has river walks and hiking trails that wind through Kauri trees and native forests.
A reasonably priced motel is adjacent to the marina and several others are within walking distance. Yachties have found that staying in the motel is a welcome alternative to living on the boat while in the yard for repairs. The motel is also perfect for visiting guests with the Whangarei airport just a fifteen minute drive from the marina.

We are going long in soybeans because of COT date and chart technical support.
This spread is called the Widow Maker and right now, you can see why this spread has its nickname. The extreme becomes more and more extreme. However, we think now is a good time to sell this spread. If you sell this spread then you are trading 2 things sell March buy April The goal is that the spread is tightening again.
We think it is worth to have an eye on this crack spread between gasoline and heating oil. The reason is simple: this spread is close to its lower end of the range and therefore close to its extreme. We will buy this spread when the spread reached -0.40. In this case, we buy RB and sell HO.
This very interesting soybean crush spread is very close to its extremes and we think it is a good idea to short this spread. To do this, you need to buy 1 contract in soybean meal, 1 contract in soybean oil and buy 1 contract of soybeans. Our target is the level of 130 and we are willing to sell one more spread at the level of 180.
It is worth taking a look at cocoa. The price is approaching an important support at 1800. In addition, the CoT Report indicates rising prices. You will learn more about these and other analyzes in our premium service.

A photo-exhibition by two women, Alexis Hunter and Jo Spence, is now held at Richard Saltoun Gallery in London. Richard Saltoun is a gallery which focuses on conceptual feminist art and performance. The gallery, this time, introduces photographs of female artists who have been taking an active role from the 1970s to 80s.
While Hunter's camera captures a woman's hand directly as if the camera is ther own eyes, Spence describes the body of a woman with some costumes, tools and make up. Both artists recreated certain situations of reality in their photos. They portray changing society and culture in that era, and we will be able to read their messages from the works.
Successive photographs are placed in a work; it reminds me of a film reel. We will think about each story and its background, like why this scene happens, what makes her face like that, and so on. "Women should be …" or "This is the ideal woman …" The icon of women is depicted through their pieces. In these series of photos, sudden madness or bizarre action is inserted. Even though it is a single piece of art, you may taste the depth of the drama and the transition of your empathy there.
The woman's style, pose, facial expressions, and the wrinkle of the hands are sometimes comical and at the same time painful. These may be the shape of her and also the photographers' experience and life.
Since it is rare to see the art works by female artists from the 1970s to 80s, this exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to think of how Hunter and Spence have been influencing British female artists.


Join us on Wednesday, April 12th at Oz! 9PM - 12AM| Early arrival strongly suggested! Sample Stoli drinks. Stoli drink specials all night. No cover - must be 21+.

A Beginner's Guide to On Page SEO
While no one knows for sure, most experts believe Google's algorithm uses at least 200 unique ranking factors to determine results. For content creators that don't live and breathe Search Engine Optimization (SEO), knowing where to start can be difficult given the complexity of search algorithms and the glut of information that is available. It is difficult to tell the signal from the noise.
We created this beginner's guide to on page SEO to provide writers with simple tips they can use to optimize the content they create.
Speaking generally, there are four main categories of factors that search engines use to determine search results.
On-Page Factors. These are factors related to the content and HTML source code of an individual web page that influence search rankings. Examples include the use of keywords in title, title tags, and URLs.
Links. The number of sites and pages that link to your website play a critical role in how well your site performs in search engines. Links from authoritative websites are particularly valuable.
Website. The quality of your website is another important ranking factor. Websites that load quickly, follow best security practices, and are mobile friendly receive priority in search rankings.
Domain. The characteristics of your site's domain play a role as well. Factors include having a keyword in the domain name, domain age, and length of registration.
As a writer, producing a new piece of content, you aren't going to have control over factors like when your domain was registered or how well your website works on mobile phones. What you do have control over is the content you create. Given that, this guide provides simple tips for how content creators can optimize their website's on page SEO.
On Page SEO Checklist
As you can tell from our website, we are big fans of dogs at the Brick Factory. So it should come as no surprise that I decided to use a dog-related page and keyword search as an example of good on-page search engine optimization.
If you search online for just about any dog breed you are likely to come across a page from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in the first few results. This is not happenstance: they do a great job of optimizing content for search. Throughout the guide, I will use AKC's Golden Retriever page, which ranks first in Google for "Golden Retriever" searches, as an example of good on-page SEO.
Following are eight simple steps to take to improve your site's on page SEO, using AKC as an example of an organization that does this well.
(1) Pick a target keyword
Perhaps the most important tip is the most obvious. When writing a new piece content for your website you should do so with a target keyword in mind. So if you want the page you are creating to rank well for the term "golden retriever," you need to draft the page with that goal in mind. Nearly all of the tips below are tactical steps you can take to optimize after you have selected your target keyword.
In addition to picking a primary keyword, you will also want to think through related searches people might perform. As an example, people interested in golden retrievers may search for related phrases such as "golden retriever puppies," "golden retriever temperament," and "rescue golden retrievers."
(2) Create engaging and comprehensive content
It is important that the pages you create are visually attractive, easy to read online, and substantive. I recommend using video, subheadings, and images to make your page engaging. Taking these steps will help improve your performance for key on-page ranking factors such as dwell time (the length of time a visitor spends on your page after clicking from search results) and bounce rate.
The AKC site does a great job of creating attractive and substantive content. Their golden retriever page gives users what they want: tons of photos and information about golden retriever presented in an easy-to-read and attractive format.
Put simply, creating content about your chosen keyword that people find valuable will improve your rank.
(3) Pick a search engine friendly URL
The URL of your page signals to both search engines and users what your page is about. When creating a URL slug, try to use the keyword you are targeting prominently. As an example, the URL for the American Kennel Club golden retriever page is https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/golden-retriever
(4) Include your keyword in title tag
Title tags are used to control how the page title appears in both a user's browser and on a search engine results page (SERP). Google and other search engines factor title tags prominently in their search rankings. The title of our AKC example page is "Golden Retriever Dog Breed Information."
Ideally, you want to keep your title tags under sixty characters. Google and other search engines truncate titles over that length.
(5) Use keyword frequently in text
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears on a page compared to the total number of words on the page. So if your article has 100 words and you use your keyword or phrase five times, your keyword density is 5%. You can use this tool to look up the keyword density of your page.
Search engine experts recommend a keyword density of somewhere between 0.5% and 3%. You want to use your keyword frequently, but not so frequently as to be obvious or annoying. Note that Google recognizes synonyms. Using synonyms can allow you to include keywords in your content while still having good flow.
The AKC golden retriever page has a keyword density of .6%.
(6) Use keyword in opening paragraph
It is important for on-page SEO to use your target keyword or phrase in the opening paragraph of your piece. Our AKC example includes the word "golden retriever" in the opening sentence of the page.
The Golden Retriever, an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, stands among America's most popular dog breeds.
(7) Use keyword in header tags
When creating content for the web, it is a best practice to break content up into subsections using header tags. Web readers tend to skim, so using headers to categorize content improves the readability of your content. Just as critically, search engines use keyword use in header tags as a ranking factor.
The AKC Golden page does a great job of using the phrase "golden retriever" in header tags, as well as supplemental keywords like "puppy", "care", and "rescue".
(8) Optimize your meta description
The consensus these days is that meta descriptions are not important for the rankings themselves. However, it is still important that you take the time to write a compelling meta description of your page. Meta descriptions are often used by Google to determine that teaser text that appears on search engine results page (SERP). A concise and well-written meta description will make users more likely to click through to your page.
Our AKC example page shows how complex Google's algorithm is. AKC wrote the following custom Meta description:
Right breed for you? Golden Retriever information including personality, history, grooming, pictures, videos, and the AKC breed standard.
Yet on the SERP page, Google is picking up the first paragraph of text from the page instead of the Meta description.
Sometimes Google uses text from the actual page to create its descriptions. Sometimes it uses the Meta description. I would create a good Meta description to ensure your bases are covered.
On page Search Engine Optimization is not rocket science. Hopefully, the simple tips we provide in this article will help you get more out of the content you work so hard to produce.

Some examples of how power posing can actually boost your confidence
October 1, 2012	at 11:42 am EDT
Amy Cuddy demonstrates a classic power pose that is used by humans and chimps alike—spreading your arms wide to appear more powerful. Photo: James Duncan Davidson
UPDATE OCTOBER 2017: The science of power poses is one of ongoing study. Please check our update on Amy Cuddy's talk for the latest research in this area of science.
There's one very important thing that everyone should do before heading into a job interview, giving a big speech or attempting an athletic feat. According to Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist at Harvard Business School, everyone should spend two minutes power posing. What, you ask, is power posing? It is adopting the stances associated with confidence, power and achievement — chest lifted, head held high, arms either up or propped on the hips.
As Cuddy explains in this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, both humans and animals express power through their bodies. They tumble in on themselves when they feel unsure, making themselves smaller by hunching over, crossing their arms over their chest and avoiding big movements. When they feel on top of the world, they sprawl out. Cuddy wondered—could adopting these postures change a person's internal state and make them feel more powerful?
Cuddy, along with her collaborator Dana Carney of Berkeley, ran an experiment in which people were directed to adopt either high-power or low-power poses for two minutes. Then they were asked if they wanted to gamble. Cuddy and Carney found that 86% of those who posed in the high-power position opted to gamble, while only 60% of the low-power posers felt comfortable taking a roll of the dice. But even more interesting — there were physiological differences between the two groups, as shown by saliva samples. While high-power posers showed an 8% increase in testosterone, low-power posers had a 10% decrease in the hormone. Meanwhile, the inverse relationship happened with cortisol, the hormone related to stress. While high-power posers experienced a 25% decrease in cortisol levels, low-power posers had a 15% increase in their stress levels.
"Our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Our bodies change our minds," says Cuddy.
To hear Cuddy's powerful story of how power posing helped her get her own life on track, watch her talk. Below, hear stories of how power posing has worked for others, as told to Cuddy through emails and online comments.
From a male high school physics teacher in the United States:
"I introduced my AP Physics students to power posing last spring. One student in particular was always so nervous during assessments and therefore her test scores did not represent her abilities at all. We all know that old saying about correlation and causation — and this was no scientific study — but from that day forward that student power posed before every physics test and her grades went from high 'C's and low 'B's to where she belonged — in the mid to lower 'A's. I'm convinced that power posing helped her even if it is difficult to prove."
From an online commenter:
"It's nice to see that there's scientific support for Oscar Hammerstein's King and I lyrics: 'Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune, so no one will suspect I'm afraid …The result of this deception is very strange to tell, for when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well.'"
From a male musician in Canada:
"I tried your 'power positions' right before I went on stage with a symphony, and I have to say, it was the best performance I have had in terms of nerves in my life."
"My dad used to do a lot of work over the phone. Great advice: You can hear a smile on the other end of the phone. He'd also often stand up tall over his desk when he was talking on the phone. Must have pumped up the confidence since I find myself doing the same."
From actor Manish Dayal, star of The Hundred-Foot Journey:
"The biggest challenge for me was definitely the large span of time in the film. The film begins with [my character] Hassan as a young, carefree boy, and over the course of the film he grows to become an adult with major responsibilities. Being able to show that development involves an understanding of aging, of how speech and maturity evolve over a lifetime. My character's stance and body language moves around throughout the film. Hopefully, Hassan's body language shows where he is in the story. Power poses helped me show that evolution." Read more about Manish's story »
From a woman in finance in the United States:
"I power posed before my third interview for a job the other day! Moving onto fourth and final interview on Tuesday!!! I was seriously nervous and power posing calmed me down … Okay, there was a fifth interview today. I was freaking out, so while waiting I walked outside and power posed on the street. I can't believe how much better I felt. And I did really well on the interview."
"I believe this has wide implications for classroom teachers. Early in the school year, students note a teacher's verbal and nonverbal language to determine if they can seize the power and authority from him/her. A teacher's body language and voice must beam: 'I have faith in me and I have faith in my ability to teach you. I have high standards and expectations.'"
Want to know more? Read about Cuddy's latest research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which shows that leaders tend to have lower cortisol levels. As Cuddy explains to the U.S. News and World Report, this relationship is mediated by their overall sense of having control over their lives, from the mundane to the significant.

In The Hundred-Foot Journey, a young chef named Hassan transcends the kitchen of his family's boisterous Indian restaurant, charms the icy proprietress of the Michelin-starred French restaurant across the street, and tries his hand at becoming a top chef in Paris.

I did not read this book when it was popular; I did not buy this book when it was popular. I have no idea what possessed me to pick it up in a used bookstore, nor do I know when or where I purchased it. But, having started it on a whim, I understand why this book was such a huge success.
The story is told as though everyone knows of the disaster the book discusses. Perhaps, in 1996, I did know of the disaster on Mount Everest, but I don't recall it now. At any rate, several people, including some exceedingly qualified and fit people, perished trying to climb Mount Everest. Or actually, trying to descend Mount Everest. It turns out that for most climbers, the ascent is the easy part; descending is much harder. Once the goal has been reached, and the energy expended to get to the summit, getting down is very, very difficult.
I am not even remotely a climber, and don't understand why people climb mountains. Yes, I know: "Because they are there." On that theory, lots of things could be done, but the issue is should they be done. My prejudices in the open, I have to admit that I could not put this book down. Even knowing that several people would die, and having some trouble keeping the large cast of characters straight (I believe the author said that 33 people were trying for the summit on that day), I still was mesmerized by the scope of the challenge and the determination of each person.
The author blames himself for some of the disaster. Personal blame aside, he seems to try to be fair to everyone. As with every disaster, small, seemingly insignificant choices affected the outcome. Some of those choices seem odd looking back, but at the time were determined to be the optimal choice. And some of the choices were made by people who were literally not in their right minds. The altitude apparently does very odd things to people.
All in all, this was a fascinating book, and well worth reading. Think of an airplane ride, cross-country, and that is the altitude the climbers faced. The pictures alone scared me (afraid of heights!); the text terrified me. But it was definitely a could-not-put-down read!!


Then set Display Sub-Patch level to 0. Crash?
Setting it to 1 doesn't crash.. But 0 does. For me.
No problem here either - win XP Pro, SP2, 32 bit.
Was that the base you made for the statue WIP in the WIP gallery that you're doing over in ZBrush?
I updated my video drivers but it's still crashing.
Have you tried reopening it in just Modeler, re-saving and reloading into Layout?
Obviously it worked for a while, could be something went haywire.
Works fine here too, also win32.
Reminds me of a problem I have with loading a particular object into Modeler. If I load it with CC level set to 2, it will crash every time. If I set it to 1 or 3, no problems. Weird and quirky behaviour.
I can't open it up in ether layout or modeler, version 9. But it opens up ok in version 8.5 modeler and layout.
for those who have had problems, I loaded the object into Modeler 9.3 then I copied and pasted into a new object, just wondering if that fixes the problem?.
Loads fine on 9.3 here.
Here's a render for proof.
I discovered what the problem was... For some reason, a single point was created at 0,0,0. When I deleted this point it works fine.
It was also causing layout to crash if I had this object in the scene and sub-D's were active.
