Tesla's market cap is now bigger than Ford's was at its peak

Stock a few dollars from $500 as it sets record close
Tesla Inc. is as big as peak Ford Motor Co., with the Silicon Valley electric-car maker stock closing at a record on Wednesday.
Tesla TSLA, -1.82% shares rose 4.9% to end at a record $492.14 on Wednesday, the latest in a series of ever-climbing notches that stretch back to mid-December. The shares traded as high as $498.49.
Tesla's market capitalization has zoomed above $88 billion, beating Ford's at its valuation peak — a market cap of $80.8 billion in 1999, the same year Tesla's Chief Executive Elon Musk founded a couple of tech companies, including the one that would later become PayPal Holdings Inc. PYPL, -2.22% In today's dollars, Ford's 1999 valuation would be the equivalent of about $124 billion.
Tesla has been the No. 1 U.S. auto maker in terms of market value off and on in the recent past, but it is the first time its market cap has topped Ford's F, -3.22% at its highest valuation. Ford is currently valued at more than $36 billion, and General Motors Co. GM, -3.78% is valued at $50 billion.
Tesla's stock rally got a boost last week when the company reported above-expectations fourth-quarter deliveries, its proxy for sales.
By Tuesday morning, Musk made meme-ready waves by pulling some dance moves while heralding a "very exciting future" for Tesla in China to the tune of "More Than You Know" by Axwell Ingrosso.
Tesla was showcasing the delivery of the first Model 3 sedans made at the company's plant in the Shanghai area.
Investors do not yet know the date of Tesla's reporting fourth-quarter results, expected for late January or early February.
Analysts polled by FactSet expect the car maker to report an adjusted profit of $1.53 a share on sales of $6.9 billion. That would compare with fourth-quarter 2018 profit of $1.93 a share on sales of $7.2 billion.
On Tuesday, analyst Bill Selesky of Argus Research raised his price target on Tesla shares to $556, among the highest on Wall Street. Credit Suisse analysts also raised their price target on the stock this week, to $340 from $200.
Despite being under the current share price, the new price target "gives Tesla credit in multiple ways," the analysts said. "Even with all that Tesla stock appears rich," they said. The analysts, led by Dan Levy, kept the equivalent of a sell rating on the stock.
Tesla shares have gained 47% in the past 12 months, compared with advances of 26% and 21% for the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.84% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. DJIA, -1.51%

My grandmother died, leaving a $1 million estate. I asked my mother what happened to half the money. She said, 'I spent it.'


The most solid comfort one can fall back upon is the thought that the business of one's life is to help in some small way to reduce the sum of ignorance, degradation, and misery on the face of this beautiful earth. –George Eliot.
Friendship matters! DON'T FORGET to ENTER MY GOODREADS GIVEAWAY!
Adrienne – Reading you posts, I find that I am re-kindling my love for the 19th century! Thanks for all the great photos, research, and reminders about the amazing major figures of that era. When I was studying for exams, I was so nervous that I couldn't concentrate on my reading. We live in a condo, and we share a wall with another condo. I could hear noises from their home, which disturbed me and often derailed my studies. My husband suggested that I put on headphones and drink a beer. I complied. Then I started reading Emerson. From that point on, I was immersed in his particular and beautiful genius. Still love him! I have been reading a new book about Emily Dickinson, and she loved him too. He visited the estate near her home built for her brother and his wife.
I used to participate in living history programs and re-enactments. The best part was sleeping in a tent with the smell of fires dying away and music from makeshift ensembles floating through the crisp air. I fell asleep time traveling. Wearing corsets and fantastic hats helped too.
But I must say I really like researching in historic libraries best!
I remember loving Emerson in college. I need to revisit his works–thanks for the reminder!
That sounds wonderful, Adrienne! Wow, I'm not sure I could even fit into a corset!! They hurt, from what I'm told. We have a friend who puts on fashion shows using historical clothing, and his models wear corsets. Yikes!


Is My Argument True to the Original Meaning?
A response to Ryan Williams and Michael Rappaport.
Profs. Ryan Williams and Michael Rappaport express sympathy with my argument on a conceptual level, but doubt the framers had such things in mind when writing the Constitution. I think I provide strong historical evidence (as have others) that substantive due process was familiar to and respected by the founders, although they didn't call it by that name. But it's true that my focus is more conceptual than historical: I'm interested in what the Constitution's language means, not in what any particular people at any particular time thought it meant.
Nevertheless, consider: the founding fathers grew up without a Constitution. Then they wrote a Constitution that lacked a Bill of Rights. It was only in 1791, when James Madison was 40 years old, that the Due Process of Law Clause became part of the Constitution. His own state had only adopted its due process clause (Virginia's "law of the land" clause) in 1776, when he was 25. Before then, judicial protection of individual rights was done by English common law courts, as it had been done since at least Lord Coke's day, largely under the law of the land clause of Magna Carta. In many famous decisions that were the commonplace learning of law students in the founding era, English judges applied the law of the land clause's promise of lawful, non-arbitrary rule to protect individual rights—rights that were, of course, unenumerated. (And yes, this was done even before the 1689 English Bill of Rights.) The founders would have been very comfortable with the idea of judicial enforcement of unenumerated rights under the law of the land or due process clauses, because for much of their lives, that was all the law they knew.
Prof. Williams, of course, musters evidence in his recent Yale Law Journal article, to show that the theory of substantive due process flowered much more in the nineteenth than in the eighteenth century. There are many reasons for this. For one thing, American courts operated independently only for the last quarter of the eighteenth century, and legal recordkeeping was poor. So, too, westward expansion brought new legal issues to the forefront; rising literacy rates and the democratization of the legal profession made litigation more common. There were more states, and they were doing more things, in 1880 than in 1820. Moreover, there was a profoundly important national conversation, so to speak, going on in this era—not just over slavery, but over sovereignty, administration, tort law, the rights of women, and so forth. It's not surprising that we find a richer source of legal precedent and a greater concentration of legal scholars on these questions during this period. Virtually all our tort law also comes from this period—that doesn't mean that tort law somehow lacks an originalist pedigree. I wouldn't call this "innovation," as Prof. Williams does; I would call it exegesis, elaboration—in short, interpretation. But whatever the reason, the fact that substantive due process was enforced more in the nineteenth century than earlier doesn't disprove the thesis that the words mean what I say they mean.
Prof. Rappaport is more severe. He thinks I'm just picking and choosing whatever I want in the historical materials. I think this is unjust. My argument is that (1) ultra vires government action is not "law" for purposes of the Due Process of Law requirement; (2) government acts are ultra vires if (among other things) they exceed either explicit or implicit limits on lawmaking; and (3) we can determine what the implicit limits on lawmaking are by inquiring into the principles of the American founding, which means referring to documents like the Declaration of Independence and the writings of the founders. It's not my fault that they happen to have been classical liberals, nowadays called libertarians. But I think this should answer Prof. Rappaport's question about method.
Of course, this isn't the time or place to enter into a full debate over whether originalism is the way to go. But I'll make one observation on that point. If my argument is correct, then it must follow of course that we are bound by it, even if the authors of the Constitution didn't expect the words to be applied in this particular way. If the Due Process of Law Clause prohibits arbitrariness, and arbitrariness means self-serving, ipse dixit, irrational, non-general uses of government power, then it follows that that's what the framers intended, since that's what they said. That's how we interpret just about any other written text; contracts, for example. We don't consult the subjective intentions of the author—we consult their words, and we interpret those words. If the words mean X, then X is what the author intended, or at least, it's what we're legally bound to deem to have been their intent.
As Tara Smith has observed, the great pitfall of originalism is to get into a census of the subjective beliefs of the authors of the Constitution. Serious originalists don't do this. Instead, they inquire into the principles—the concepts—for which the words stand, and follow those. Consider Kyllo v. United States or the recent GPS decision, Jones. To say that use of infrared detection equipment or GPS are not Fourth Amendment searches, because the founders didn't know of these technologies, would, I think, be ludicrous. The better conclusion is what Justice Scalia said in Jones: "The concurrence begins by accusing us of applying '18th-century tort law.' That is a distortion. What we apply is an 18th-century guarantee against unreasonable searches." Cases like these are resolved by determining the meaning of the word "search"—in other words, that we seek out the principle, not the specific applications, when understanding a legal rule. In applying the Due Process Clause, we are applying an 18th century guarantee against arbitrary or lawless government action—we are in the business of interpreting and applying the principle, not of ascertaining the subjective understandings of an individual or a group. Or, again to pick and choose from Lord Coke, "though a man can tell the law, yet if he know not the reason thereof, he shall soone forget his superficial knowledge. But when he findeth the right reason of the law, and so bringeth it to his natural reason, that he comprehendeth it as his own, this will not only serve him for the understanding of that particular case, but of many others: for cognitio legis est copulata et complicata." Another term for inquiring into the right reason of the law is "seeking very hard to find out how a reasonable person at the time would have understood constitutional clauses in context." I believe this is just what I'm doing—just what Daniel Webster did—just what the Lord Coke did—when determining that government acts that are arbitrary, self-serving, ipse dixit, and so forth, are not "law" and are therefore barred by the law of the land and due process of law clauses.
Now, I'm persuaded that the history does show that the founders believed, and rightly, that this clause barred government from acting in an arbitrary, self-serving, fundamentally unfair, ipse dixit, irrational manner—that is, from acting lawlessly. But I admit I'm more concerned with the "rightly" part of that sentence than with the "they believed" part. And if that means I'm not really an originalist, I can live with that. I've been content in the past to call myself a kind of originalist, but in the end, the reason I adhere to the framers' views is not because they were the framers, but because their views were right.
That brings to mind a question I'd like to ask Prof. Rappaport and other originalists: do you believe that the authors of a legal text can actually be mistaken as to its meaning? To be more precise, if we are bound to follow a text as understood by the authors of that text, it would seem to follow that the authors are the definitive sources with regard to its meaning. Thus if a statute is passed in that, say, imposes a tax on the importation of fish, by a legislature whose members think that dolphins are fish, and later on, scientists discover that dolphins are not, in fact, fish—does the statute apply to dolphins or not? Do you rely on something like Prof. Rubenfeld's distinction between "Application Understandings" and "No Application Understandings"? Or do you distinguish between the interpretation of a written text on one hand—which is subject to the standard analytical tools—and the nature of an obligation to obey a written text on the other, which includes other considerations? I mean this as a serious question, because as I've said, I'm not a student of originalism per se, and it's possible these questions have already been answered without my knowing it.

Q: List the properties of a .prototype? With javascript is it possible to console.log or list the .prototype properties associated with an object of a given type?
I'm using a firebase cloud-firestore and would like to see what exists on the prototype for calls to the database.
For example a db call returns an Object of type QuerySnapshot { ... }. I'd like to see what exists on QuerySnapshot.prototype.
I can map through the returned values using .map, but if I console log out the object, it's not an array, so presumably it is inheriting a custom .map from prototype?

A: Yes, you can use Object.getPrototypeOf to get an object's prototype, Object.getOwnPropertyNames to get its properties that have string names, and Object.getOwnPropertySymbols to get its properties that have Symbol names. You might want to repeat the process (going to the prototype's prototype and so on) to get the properties at every level.
The advantage to getOwnPropertyXYZ is that it includes properties that are non-enumerable, whereas for-in and Object.keys only return enumerable properties. (They also don't include Symbol-named properties.)
Alternately, you can console.log the object and explore its properties with the browser's interactive object explorer in the devtools.

Skiing in Italy offers a different experience to the mega resorts of France, Switzerland and Austria. Instead of the raucous dancing-on-tables style of après-ski, Italian resorts often offer sophisticated aperitivi bars where you can stop and sample some of the delicious antipasti with your hot wine, beer or coffee.
Skiing can be an entirely more leisurely affair here too, with short ski days, long lunches and afternoons in the spa followed by an evening of gastronomic delight. We probably don't need to tell you that food is a large part of the culture in Italy, and throughout the day you will have the opportunity to try dishes homemade from fresh local ingredients such as pasta, cured meats and cheeses.
Ski resorts in Italy are found along the northern border with France, Switzerland and Austria. From Sestriere in the north-west, up to the Aosta Valley and resorts such as Courmayeur, La Thuile and Cervinia, all the way round to the Dolomites over in the east, there is a wide range of resorts to choose from. Many of these are still relatively undiscovered by British skiers, making them a real Italian experience and, in comparison to other resorts in Europe, still cheap.

When you need, polaris ATV parts or repair in Daytona FL don't waste your time with backyard mechanics! Go straight to the pro's that specialize in the parts and the repairs that are going to keep your machine humming along. To keep your ATV moving along you must have the right parts and repair experts that can maintenance and keep your machine running. A lot of owners make the mistake of having someone work on their machine that does not have the skill set that is needed to work on a Polaris and not cause "down the line damage".
Why Choose a Pro for Parts and Repairs?
You can save a few bucks by having the guy down the road make some repairs but you must ask yourself "how safe will the machine be?" and "how long will those repairs hold up?" of course you also must consider how much it will cost to fix the foul ups of a mechanic that is not trained to work on Polaris ATV's.
Parts for your Polaris ATV should come from a dealership to ensure that the parts are made for your ATV. Contact Holeshot Powersports for all your Polaris ATV needs to be sure that they are met the right way!


Also easily retrieved from my memory is how we planned for our getaway. We live in the Northwest of the United States so we searched for weeks to find the best route with the fewest connections, most competitive prices and largest plane. If you're going to be on a non-stop flight for more than 7 hours, space becomes a premium issue. Ultimately we chose to fly to Seattle and take Icelandair who flew directly from SEA to RKV, as in Reykjavik, Iceland. From RKV we went right to Stockholm where we planned to spend the first two days. I was really glad not to have a lot of connecting flights all over US airports, the direct flight was really what convinced me most and I believe it was only 7.5 hrs once we left Seattle until the time we flew over the foggy shores of Iceland.
In addition allow me to say the Icelandair plane was incredibly cozy and peaceful. I've been in my fair share of cramped and uncomfortable flights and it was such a relief to step on the plane and see this was not going to be one of them. I faintly remember music playing and pillows on every seat, but some of the details are a little lost in my mind because I soon fell asleep. My husband and closest friends will attest that I never fall asleep on planes, just can't do it no matter how tired I am. Yet on this flight I dozed off easily making the flight duration seem much shorter. Soon we were arriving at RKV which was so nice (the airport was really clean and orderly!) and I remember grabbing skyr and some smoked fish for the next flight. Just a friendly tip, smoked fish is not a good in-flight snack as it tends to be quite fragrant, a quality I unfortunately miscalculated at the time. Moving past the fishy smell it was only another 2.5 hrs before our feet were on Swedish soil. One of the reasons we chose Icelandair was because it's a wonderful hub for traveling anywhere in Europe. From here we could have visited London or Paris or flown directly to Copenhagen. The other nice is flying from Iceland to many western European cities is just a couple of hours.
Unsure of when we will next travel to Europe, it is something of a goal to visit Iceland as well, not only as a port for flying through, but a place to stay and explore as well. This time we will be traveling with both kids which often means taking our time and enjoying the journey and not just the destination. I'd love to stay in Reykjavik for a few days, visiting lagoons, climbing hills and taking in Icelandic scenery before continuing our journey. After great experiences flying Icelandair to and from Europe, we will certainly be using them again to make new memories visiting countries and cities by way of Reykjavik.


The Christian community lost a wonderful man of God this past Saturday, September 16, 2017. Nabeel Qureshi entered his eternal home after a year-long battle with stomach cancer at the tender age of 34. While Nabeel has left us, he has left behind a wonderful legacy that will impact countless individuals for years to come. How will Nabeel be remembered? I think that he will be remembered in three major ways.
1. Nabeel Qureshi will be remembered for his miraculous conversion. Nabeel recounts his miraculous conversion in his book Seeking Allah: Finding Jesus. Nabeel was raised in a loving Ahmani Muslim home by his Pakistani-American parents. While attending medical school, Nabeel was challenged by his good friend David Wood to examine the evidence for the Christian faith. Because of the challenges given by Wood and Christian apologist Michael Licona, Nabeel looked into the evidence and was amazed to find that Christianity had a compelling case for authenticity.
NextNabeel Qureshi: A million times over, yes!

Press release: Half Year Results 2017 ICT Group
H1 2017 RESULTS: CONTINUED ORGANIC REVENUE GROWTH
– Recent acquisitions integrated –
Highlights H1 2017
Revenue increased 20% to € 50.7 million, 6% organic growth
EBITDA up 28% to € 5.3 million (H1 2016: € 4.2 million)
Net profit at € 2.6 million, an increase of 20% (H1 2016: € 2.1 million)
Focus in H1 2017 on integration and consolidation of acquisitions
Continued investments in the organization to support future growth
Acquisition of high technology automation services provider HTS
Outlook 2017: ICT expects further growth in revenue and EBITDA in the second half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2017
Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT Group N.V.: "In the past six months we have prioritized the integration of the acquisitions of the past year to safeguard a proper basis to consolidate future potential, without losing focus on driving organic growth. Nozhup, that is now fully integrated, contributes positively to the Group's results. With our latest acquisition HTS, that will primarily service Smart Industries, we passed the milestone of 1,000 employees. With this increased group of dedicated professionals, we are fully committed to further executing the company strategy, making the world a little smarter every day. We also continued our investments in the organization, companywide, to ensure a stronger foundation on which we can further build our company. We are confident about the second half of the year and therefore expect further growth in revenue and EBITDA in the second half compared to the first half of 2017.
Strategy update
In June 2017 ICT acquired High Tech Solutions B.V. ("HTS"), a Dutch based well-respected industrial automation project and services provider. HTS employs 25 professionals on an HBO / academic level. HTS delivers consultancy services in various markets within the domain of Smarter Industries.
During the first six months of 2017 we continued our investments in new platforms and start-ups. Developments at ICT Mobile are promising and a new platform was launched together with start-up company Valuemaat.
By the end of the first half of 2017, ICT passed the mark of 1,000 employees.
Notes to the results
In the first half year of 2017 ICT Group's revenue came in at € 50.7 million, up 20% compared to € 42.1 million reported in H1 2016. The revenue growth showed a consistent trend. Organically, excluding the contribution of Nozhup and HTS, revenue increased by 6%. This was driven by an increased number of staff and productivity in line with last year.
Revenue at ICT Netherlands increased 22% to € 39.3 million in H1 2017 from € 32.3 million in the same period last year. The increase is mainly attributable to Nozhup that was acquired in September 2016, and fully integrated within ICT Netherlands in the first half of 2017. Organically, revenue was up approximately 5%. Main contributor to this organic growth was the business unit Automotive. Productivity levels were in line with last year. The average tariff increase was in line with the average salary increase. EBITDA came in at € 3.6 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: € 2.6 million). Licences and materials sales were in line with last year.
Strypes Bulgaria ("ICT Nearshoring") reported a 46% increase in revenue from € 3.2 million in H1 2016 to € 4.6 million in the first six months of 2017. In 2016 Strypes started to upgrade the organizational effectiveness to safeguard continued and sustainable strong growth of the nearshoring activities. In the first six months of 2017 these investments, in among others quality controls, continued and will continue in the second half. EBITDA amounted to € 0.9 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: € 0.6 million).
The segment 'Other' recorded revenues of € 7.4 million (H1 2016: € 7.1 million). Improve had a slow start to the year, due to postponement of assignments. Recovery is expected in the second half of 2017. After a good 2016, in 2017 Raster experienced margin pressure as a result of more difficult market circumstances. BMA performed in line with last year.
Strategic themes
ICT's growth strategy focuses on the themes Smarter Industries, Smarter Cities and Smarter Health. Within these themes, ICT delivers added value to its customers.
Due to the acquisitions of Nozhup and HTS growth in the themes Smarter Industries and especially Smarter Cities was higher than in the Smarter Health theme.
Personnel costs increased significantly to € 31.0 million (H1 2016: € 24.9 million), primarily because of an increase in number of employees and salary increases.
Other operating expenses also increased, mainly because of the recent acquisitions. In the first half of 2017 the investment levels were similar to those in 2016. The investments focused primarily on housing and further operational effectiveness of the organisation. In addition, ICT continued investing more heavily in recruitment. The costs related to strategic initiatives and the realisation of acquisitions and partnerships amounted to € 0.1 million (H1 2016: € 0.3 million).
EBITDA for the first six months of 2017 increased by 28% to € 5.3 million, compared to € 4.2 million in the comparable period in 2016. The EBITDA margin increased from 9.9% in H1 2016 to 10.5% in H1 2017. The increased scale, following the acquisitions, leads to a more effective use of the indirect cost base.
Amortisation and depreciation
ICT has attributed a value to and is amortising several intangible assets, including order backlog, software and customer relations of its recent acquisitions. Amortisation in the first half of 2017 included Nozhup and amounted to € 1.2 million (H1 2016: € 0.9 million). Depreciation for the first half of 2017 amounted to € 0.5 million (H1 2016: € 0.3 million).
The operating profit amounted to € 3.7 million in H1 2017 (H1 2016: € 3.0 million). As a result of the higher amortization, the operating margin was 7.2%, at the same level as H1 2016 (7.1%).
Results from joint ventures and associates
The results from InTraffic were in line with last year and contributed € 0.1 million to the results
(H1 2016: € 0.1 million). The total result from joint ventures and associates amounted to a loss of € 0.2 million (H1 2016: € 0.1 million loss).
Interest expenses increased to € 0.3 million in H1 2017, from € 0.2 million in the first six months of 2016, as a result of increased financing for the recent acquisitions.
Taxes in the first half of 2017 amounted to € 0.7 million compared with € 0.7 million in the first half of 2016.
Net profit for the first six months of 2017 increased to € 2.6 million, compared with € 2.1 million in H1 2016. An amount of € 2.5 million is attributable to the shareholders of ICT Group N.V. (H1 2016: € 2.1 million). This translates into earnings per share of € 0.27 (H1 2016: € 0.24). The number of outstanding ordinary shares increased during the first half year 2017 to 9,411,301 (31 December 2016: 9,288,309) due to stock dividend and to the employee share participation plan.
Cash flow movement
In the first half of the year, net operational cash flow amounted to € 0.5 million negative in H1 2017 (H1 2016: € 0.3 million negative). The net cash position per 30 June 2017 decreased to € 1.0 million negative (31 December 2016: € 5.6 million positive). This was mainly due to the purchase price cash consideration of the acquisition of HTS, the payment of dividend, the repayments of existing acquisition financing and investments in housing facilities.
Balance sheet structure
In the first half of 2017, shareholders' equity increased to € 44.5 million (31 December 2016: € 43.7 million) as a result of the net effect of dividend paid of € 2.1 million, net profit of € 2.6 million, and an equity increase of € 0.3 million as a result of issuing new shares (for the share participation plan for personnel and stock dividend). The balance sheet total increased from € 79.2 million at year-end 2016 to € 84.7 million at 30 June 2017, as a result of the acquisitions in the last six months. Solvency (shareholders' equity/total assets) stood at 53% at the end of June 2017 (55% at year-end 2016).
At 30 June 2017, ICT Group has 1,014 employees (971 FTEs), around 6% higher than at year-end 2016. The acquisition of HTS, a low attrition in the first half of the year as well as increased recruitment efforts contributed to this increase.
ICT will continue to further leverage the strategic platform it has successfully built over the past years, aimed at organic growth combined with acquisitions. The aim of the acquisition strategy is to achieve strong positions in each of ICT's three main themes. ICT continues its focus on the smarter themes by further deploying its solutions in Internet of Things enabling a digital transformation for its customers. Overall ICT has benefited from favourable economic circumstances. The markets in which ICT operates are expected to continue this favourable trend in the second half of the year. Some markets, such as Oil and Gas are more challenging than others.
Based on the above, ICT expects further growth in revenue and EBITDA in the second half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2017.

The double-tartaric bridging Tm-substituted POM derivative [N(CH3)4]6K3H7[Tm(C4H2O6)(α-PW11O39)]2·27H2O (1) was successfully synthesized and well characterized by various physico-chemical analyses. Furthermore, the mixed Dy3+/Tm3+ ion-based POM derivatives [N(CH3)4]6K3H7[DyxTm1−x(C4H2O6)(α-PW11O39)]2·27H2O (3–8) were first synthesized and confirmed by PXRD and IR spectra, indicating compounds 3–8 are isomorphic with 1. The detailed analyses of Ln–O–W bond angle and coordinated aqua ligands around emitting Ln3+ ions have revealed that the mentioned negative factors do not effectively affect the luminescence of emitting Ln3+ ions in 1–8. Investigations of PL emissions reveal that 3–8 can display color-tunable PL properties, emitting color from blue to white to yellow. The study of time-resolved emission spectroscopy of 6 indicates the energy can transfer from the LMCT excited state of POM fragments to Tm3+ and/or Dy3+ ions. Furthermore, the decreased luminescent lifetime of Tm3+ ions in 3–8 reasonably verifies the energy transfer from Tm3+ to Dy3+ ions to efficiently facilitate emissions of the Dy3+ centre.


This is a collection of the connections we've made and the interactions we've had with all kinds of beautiful people – from friends to strangers, from people we've known most of our lives to people we just met but felt a connection with – from all walks of life ... all because of a little thing called kindness.
Jaime & Jill at Beautiful Nails in Brentwood, Mo.
Meet this amazingly kind and sweet woman, Jill! She has been a receptionist at Beautiful Nails in Brentwood (Mo.) for years — and for all of the years my family, friends and I have come and gone there, there has literally never been a time that Jill has been anything less than one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met!
She always, always, ALWAYS has a smile on her face, treats everyone who walks through the door as if they were longtime friends and has a sweet, special way of making everyone feel better! No one leaves her without a hug and a smile ~ she is such a bright spot in everyone's day!
Thank you so much Jill for all of the love and kindness you bring to others every day!
Meet Jeffery! Jeffery is a barista at Starbucks, and he is all kinds of smiles and positive vibes!
After seeing him on the regular since he started working at this particular Starbucks more than a year ago, I just had to call him out on his AWESOME!
You get a lot more than just a cup of coffee when Jeffery's your barista – you get his quiet way of kindness and like I said, that smile, which I've seen turn around some rough mornings for so many. I've been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of it many, many times.
I just wanted to tell Jeffery how much his kindness means to others, and that his smile makes such a difference to so many of us. He also takes time to get to know people, and he cares. The whole Old Orchard Starbucks team brings the awesome for all of us!
After more than a year of quick hi's ans hello's with Jeffery, we finally took more than a few minutes to learn just a little more about each other. Turns out his grandparents live on the very street my dad grew up on in Maplewood, which is just a few blocks from where my husband and I live now - the world is so big and yet so small, right?!
Like I always say, we're all carrying something ... but how will we know if we don't take time to learn each other's stories? It all starts with kindness ... and a decision try.
Be kind, friends. That is all.
PS. There's a little bit of magic in these bracelets, in case you haven't figured it out! Get yours and one to give away here!
Beth & Jim at her daugher's school in Colorado!
This is Jim. Jim is the crossing guard at my daughter's preschool. He lives in the neighborhood and has grandchildren who attend the attached elementary school. Jim is a military veteran and he always, without fail, wears the veteran cap you see in the picture...even on cold days (which we have quite a few of here in Denver).
Jim is a ray of sunshine in my day. And, given how I see other kids and adults interact with him, he's a ray of sunshine for many. In fact, I have seen people who are obviously having a tough day...all frowns, walking fast so they don't have to talk to anyone, focused on their own bubble and their own problems, whatever they may be…and then they go by Jim. Because they have to, or are at least supposed to. And I promise you, by the time they finish the walk across the crosswalk they have a smile on their face and their step, which started as tense and forced, is now relaxed.
I decided that Jim needed a Buzz Band. I was very nervous. Celebrating peoples' awesome is Jaime's jam...but it's not something that comes easily to me. I LOVE hearing stories of other people who have made a difference, but actually walking the walk is hard for someone who feels somewhat shy. But, I believe in Buzzing Love and what it stands for so I was determined to walk this walk.
I did it. And he was so grateful! A little confused at first. But, ultimately very appreciative with his signature Jim smile. And that's when I learned about his military service and his grandkids and his having been a part of the community for such a long time. All because I took just a few extra moments to tell someone how much they mean to me and to the community.
Happy Free to Five Friday!!
Meet Frank – Jaime & Travis' neighbor.
Meet Frank. Frank is one of our neighbors ... for three years now we've exchanged countless waves and smiles and several "Hi's" and "Hello's" from across the street. Even when the world seems to be falling apart, I can always count on Frank for a friendly smile and a wave. There's no good reason why we haven't had an actual conversation until now. I'm so glad that changed the other day when Frank was outside working on his car and I was walking our pups. I stopped to say hi and Frank lifted his head from inside the hood of his truck, grabbed a rag to wipe down his hands and came over to pet the dogs.
Frank paused for a second.
I could see his eyes welling up just a little before he continued.
I immediately just reached out and threw my arms around him in a hug. I asked him what his son's name was – Matt. They lost Matt when he was just 14 years old. Frank's nephew, who had been a firefighter, was killed in the line of duty when he was just 22 years old.
I ached for their losses. I ached for them because I know that life-altering, unbelievable pain all too well. And Frank knew I understood it. When we moved into the neighborhood, he knew it was under the tragic circumstances of losing my dad.
I asked Frank a little more about his son and loved hearing about how the two of them had such a great time together. We talked grief and its changing tides, and that while it becomes more tolerable, it doesn't matter how long it's been. And we also talked about the power of kindness within the pain. We talked about how you really just never know the kind of heartaches people are carrying.
It was awesome to have him over for a few minutes to say hi, show him a picture of my dad, and chat with my husband and I in our kitchen before I let him get back to working on his truck on the beautiful afternoon.
I thanked Frank for taking time to talk with me, and share just a little bit of his story with me – especially about his son. And I made sure to send him back across the street with an extra Buzzing Love bracelet in honor of Matt, and the promise that we're now more than just neighbors.
Take time to get to know the people around you. Think how many people you interact with on a regular basis, but never really get to know more than in passing ... Everyone has a story.
Thank you for sharing some of yours with me, Frank.
Meet this amazing mom of four, Jennifer Mayer! I had the pleasure of meeting her while covering a story for the newspaper I write for, and as we were talking I was just taken by her kindness, her smile and her sense of humor --- especially when I learned of the challenges she faces having a three children with special needs.
She also assured me that although people can be negative and pessimistic and we're all bombarded with too much bad stuff ... that there are also so, so, so many more people like US, trying to put love into the hard parts.
Thank you for doing exactly that, Jennifer!!!! You are #buzzinglove in action!!!!
"My dad was killed tragically three years ago and it hurts a lot without him, but this is a kindness project we started in his honor to highlight the kindness in the world ... and you're one of those people."
She smiled, I smiled and we shared a big hug ... this, this is what #buzzinglove is all about!!
Thank you for putting your kindness into the world De'Che!!
I've walked past people sitting outside a gas station or elsewhere asking for money more times than I care to admit ... how often do we avoid people because they don't look like us, don't talk like us or we're hesitant to interact with them for any number of reasons? Sometimes I'm good at stepping outside my comfort zone when it comes to that ... and sometimes I'm not. Today I decided to step outside that zone a little further and take a chance on someone I would have otherwise passed by.
Meet Scott. I met him outside a gas station in St. Louis. He was asking people for $3. When no one stopped, I walked up to him and struck up a conversation. I said my name was Jaime, asked him what his name was and what he needed. He said he needed $3 to get a MetroLink ticket or a bus ride to visit his grandma in Belleville. The truth is, I don't know if that was the real reason or not, but it doesn't matter. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him to hang on a minute while I went to get the cash in my car.
When I came back, I handed him $3 and a #buzzinglove bracelet, and told him the reason behind it. He was so touched, and thought it was just awesome. He was very grateful for the money, and offered to give me a gift card he had in exchange for it. I insisted he keep the gift card, but told him two things ... "All I want is for you to go visit your grandma, and the next time you have an opportunity to help somebody out, just pass on the kindness."
So I leave you with that, my friends. PEACE AND LOVE. Peace and Buzzing Love.
Meet Rose – this joyful, beautiful woman who I met unexpectedly last night and gave me so much love, so many hugs and so much HOPE when I stopped into the Iron Nest to hurriedly look for a few last-minute holiday gifts.
The "Open" sign was still on, but when I walked in the only other customer there said, "Sorry, she's already closed." I hadn't realized it was past hours, but this kind woman behind the counter who was smiling and singing along to the fun Christmas music playing in the background immediately said, "Oh no, please, please come in and you just take however long you need, no hurry at all!" I tried to say I could come back another time, but she wouldn't have it.
As I browsed around, she merrily kept singing, asked me how I broke my foot and was just so CHEERFUL. When I went to make my purchases, we kept chatting a little more and I just couldn't get over how kind and warm and generous this woman was – a true bright spot in another difficult day I was having.
I came back with a #buzzinglove bracelet in my hand, told her about it and that this holiday season has been so, so HARD without my dad, but that her smile and her kindness had helped make my day so much better – and that the world needs more people like her.
As she continued to hug me, she said: "My dad is 91 years old, and I'm going to see him tonight. When I see him, I'm going to give him a huge hug and tell him this is from Jaime because she is missing her dad right now, so I'm going to give him lots of hugs from you."
I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I cried as she just hugged me and hugged me, and kept on hugging me. And she kept saying, "Don't you ever doubt that your dad is right here on this earth with you, right now. He's right here, and his love is coming right through you to me." Just ... WOW.
I hugged her one last time, looked her in the eye and said, "Merry Christmas and please tell your dad hi for me and give him extra hugs."
As I left and got onto my next place to go, I just kept thinking – marveled really – at the incredible connections we can have with complete strangers ... who are really not even strangers at all if we just take the time and the chance to share ourselves with each other, even for a few moments. Because it's those little moments that mean so much. I thank Rose from the bottom of my heart for her kindness, her beautiful words and the way she lifted my heart.
Love ... it's what heals, what saves the world. Share it.
Love and hugs, friends. Hugs and Buzzing Love.
I had a GREAT time sharing smiles and a shimmer of light and life with these people - this group of seeming strangers - we all connected so ... genuinely. It. Was. Awesome!!
I'm telling you - you have to step out of your comfort zone. It's more than worth it - I promise!!!
Meet our newest friends, Rose, Michael and Linda!! You guys are awesome and I thank you for your kindness!
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for all of your love, support and encouragement as I took on the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday, Oct. 22, in honor of my dad, Gary A. Baranyai, who is the inspiration behind Buzzing Love.
What an unbelievable, awesome and downright AMAZING experience it was!!!!
Before the race even started, we were buzzing some love at the race expo! Then on race morning, the love was buzzing when a Marine who overheard my friend tell me she forgot her watch took off the one he was wearing, handed it to her and said here, "Take mine."
The course and the crowds were amazing, and it was a BLUE SKIES day!
It was a SEMPER FI FINISH with a personal best marathon time by more than 10 minutes! My Daddy was with every step of the way!!!
The going got tough ... so very, very tough the last 8 miles, (flew through the first 18!) but no matter how much it hurt I just kept pushing, one step at a time ... imagining Daddy running right there next to me again with his SEMPER FI and NEVER GIVE UP on loop in my head.
No matter how much the physical pain hurts, it's NOTHING in comparison to the pain I've had to endure without dad, so that's why I know I can always keep going, keep fighting, keep pushing, no matter what.
I had just crossed the finish line and apparently looked like I needed help, and an awesome Marine named Marcus took my arm and said, "Here, let me walk with you for a bit." I was crying so hard because I missed my dad so much, but he asked about dad when he saw my race bib and so I got to share a little about dad with him and he looked at me and said, "Your dad must have been a really great guy ... and ... LOOK AT THAT MUSTACHE!!!!" OMG, right?!?! So, so awesome!! He then handed me off to another Marine who put the finisher's medal around my neck ... again, what an incredible experience!! Thank you for all of your love and support!! Special thanks to my mom for her constant love and encouragement and being at the race with me, to Kris Paule Meyer for doing this thing with me and Shona Scott for the opportunity to run in her place this race.
This is a day and a memory I will cherish always.

Q: format text inside drop down box I am currently trying to get a code and the full name of an attribute formatted and displayed in a drop down box. I already have the code to get the two values displayed but they are not formatted. The problem is that not all characters will consume the same amount of space. The code can contain numbers or letters.
render : function() {
            this.$el.attr('value', this.model.get('ptTimeCd')).html(
                this.model.get('ptTimeCd') + "&nbsp&nbsp|&nbsp"
                + this.model.get('ptTimeName'));

            return this;
        }

This produces a drop down with something like the following:
A1  | some text
CM   | some more text
GB  | ...
is there a way I can make all of this align so that the vertical will always be in the same place?

A: If I understand your problem correctly, you are having a problem with the nature of variable width, or "proportional" fonts. What you'll need is a monospaced font/font-family instead.
Perhaps try something like this css rule:
.mono {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Fixed, monospace;
}

Then apply the css class to your drop-down list items and see if you get something more like what you want to achieve.
Then you just need to make sure each 'section' of your item has the same amount of characters and spaces, which is a relatively simple programming logic exercise where you pad or trim each section based upon the string length. Just ask again if you need help with that specific portion.


Alina Ibragimova makes no apologies for the sombre tone of her forthcoming tour with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. The Russian-born, UK-based virtuoso violinist leans in with a directness that characterises her playing as well as her speech.
"Yes, it's dark. It's death," she says. "But within death, there is prayer. There is love, there is hope. Forgiveness. Everything that comes with it."
She's talking about Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, universally known as Death and the Maiden. Its torrid emotions and haunting slow movement have made it a classic of the chamber music repertoire: beyond the concert platform, the work inspired the 1991 play of the same name by Ariel Dorfman, and has been repurposed as music for film many times.
Here it is arranged for string orchestra and forms the centrepiece of the ACO's seven-city national tour, in which Ibragimova appears as guest director and soloist.
Ibragimova has been a frequent visitor to Australia in recent years: she has toured for Musica Viva with pianist Cedric Tiberghien and last year made her debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra playing Bartok's Violin Concerto No. 2.
Her first trip here, however, was in 2009 when, at the age of 22, she directed the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Now, nearly 10 years on, she is widely considered one of the most exciting violinists on the classical circuit - an artist who brings raw honesty and a thrilling sense of danger to her performances.
She appears with orchestras and ensembles around the world – next stop this month is Singapore - and also makes sure she regularly works with her quartet, who she considers her "musical family".
Her repertoire, while firmly rooted in the classical homelands of Mozart and Schubert, is not bound by them, as this program demonstrates. In addition to Schubert and Mozart, she plays and directs the Arvo Part's Silouan's Song, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, and Concerto Funebre by little known mid-20th century German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann.
Of all the works, the Hartmann is perhaps the toughest, both to play and listen to. Written in 1939, it reflects, in the words of the composer, "the intellectual and spiritual hopelessness of the period", a despair redeemed by "an expression of hope in the two chorales at the beginning and the end".
Hartmann, a lifelong anti-fascist, withdrew completely from musical life in Germany during the Nazi era, continuing to compose but refusing to publish his music. When he emerged from his self-imposed exile, he revised the work and dedicated it to his son, who died in the war.
Ibragimova discovered the rarely performed Concerto Funebre while still at music college, when she played in an orchestra where another student was performing the solo part. She fell in love with its dark but rich dynamism, and when Hyperion Records signed her as an exclusive artist in 2010, her first CD featured the music of Hartmann.
"It's a great piece," she says. "I really wanted to learn it and I've played it a lot in the last few years. I think it's Hartmann crying out against war. There is a lot of prayer. It's, in a way, a requiem."
But is it hard to play such emotionally fraught music?
"Yes, it's exhausting," Ibragimova says. "You put a lot into it."
That clearly doesn't put her off. If anything, it spurs her on.
"You have to find empathy in yourself for all those things," she says. "You have to not be scared to show the ugliness in life. Of course there is beauty there too. There is beauty. One makes the other bigger, in a way. You have let yourself delve into these emotions as far as they go."
This from someone who has just released a four-volume set of the complete Mozart Violin Sonatas, described by one critic as "a pure delight, with exquisite playing". It is quite a stretch from Mozart to Hartmann but, as Ibragimova is keen to point out, it goes to show classical music is not always pretty.
"Classical music pretty? I think this program is as far from that as it gets."
Alina Ibragimova appears with the Australian Chamber Orchestra on tour to Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney from 17-26 March.

One of the most significant announcements this week was the new ability in iTunes Connect to transfer apps between accounts. This has been a long standing problem with the App Store and it's great to see it resolved. There are some other significant changes to iTunes Connect which were announced this week so you should be watching "What's New in iTunes Connect" from the 2013 videos for more information on that.
Chris Eidhof, Daniel Eggert and Florian Kugler have started a new regular email for Objective-C developers. It seems like they are going to cover broad areas of iOS development with several issues on each topic and they are starting off by digging into view controllers. From what is there so far this looks like it is going to be really good and I know you all like receiving regular iOS focused email so you will probably want to subscribe to this.
We are looking for the best iOS engineers on the planet to help us develop Top 10, cutting-edge, apps and games used by millions of users. Our mobile developers are award-winning hackers who are looking to work with world-class talent. If you want to work with the latest tools, on the biggest games, hand-in-hand with the smartest people in LA then come and join us at Scopely.
I am sure we have all seen the option to play a sound and continute on a breakpoint in Xcode before but I don't really know anyone who was using it seriously. Markos Charatzas has a fun way to use the feature to look for patterns of behaviour in your code by triggering sounds with significant events in your code and then listening for out of the ordinary sequences of noises. Fun.
One of the biggest surprises for me this week was the announcement of Sprite Kit, when it was first mentioned I figured it would be an easier way to do simple sprite based views but it is so much more than that. Steffen Itterheim digs into what this means for Cocos 2D in a detailed post without bending the NDA too much. My feeling is that Sprite Kit could actually be one of the biggest blows against other mobile platforms that iOS has dealt for a while.
My assembly knowledge is significantly out of date now (the first assembly I wrote was 6502 which probably dates me a little) so this was a very enjoyable read from Matt Galloway. Reading and understanding ARM assembly isn't something you will need every day but it's always good to be more informed about what's going on under the hood of iOS.
Matt Gemmell takes a good look at the design changes in iOS 7 and compares them to iOS 6. Overall I am very pleased with the changes that have been made. Sure, they will take some adjustment and I don't think they are perfect at the moment by any means but like Matt, I really like the direction they are taking with it.
I wondered whether the new icon grid template that has been talked about during WWDC this week would be put out there officially by Apple but it turns out that we don't need to wait to see if it is as John Marstall has already done a great job recreating it. If you are designing icons for iOS 7 then you need to get familiar with this.
Stuart Hall noticed that as with every year at this point many apps are having their ratings harmed by idiots who expect apps to work on day one of a major beta operating system release. I am pretty sure that if all 11,000 of us reading this filed a radar asking for reviews to be blocked from beta operating systems today it would be pretty certain to be implemented for the iOS 8 beta, let's make it happen.
One disappointment with iOS 7 (so far, it could change of course) was that the App Store is largely untouched from iOS 6. These posts by John August and Nick Dalton have some interesting suggestions, I especially like Nick's idea to base a chart on long term use. I really don't think there is anything which is a better indicator of an app's quality and usefulness than how long it stays on my phone while still being launched regularly.
With all of the iOS 7 talk, it's easy to forget that we also had an announcement of a major new version of Mac OS this week as well.
What a lovely touch on the new notification sheet in iOS 7.

$100,000 to go to local pantries
John Hilliard/Daily News staff
As more people across the region face hunger this winter and look for help, MetroWest Community Health Care Foundation will bolster local food pantries in more than 20 communities with $100,000 in emergency grants.
According to the foundation, local food banks have seen a 10 to 30 percent increase in business over the past six months, said Martin Cohen, the Framingham-based foundation's president and chief executive officer.
This is the first time the organization, which has helped fund about $27 million worth in health care-related programs in the region, offered up the emergency grants for food assistance, he said.
"We know there are a lot of (local food banks) that serve a larger area," Cohen said.
The emergency grants will go to food banks in Ashland, Bellingham, Framingham, Franklin, Holliston, Hopkinton, Hudson, Marlborough, Medway, Mendon, Milford, Millis, Natick, Needham, Norfolk, Northborough, Southborough, Sudbury, Wayland, Wellesley and Westborough.
While the foundation issues grants in the fall and spring, Cohen said the next round of grants may focus on supporting basic services like providing medicine and helping people receive state-issued insurance.
The increasing demand for food help, which hunger relief officials blamed on job layoffs and home foreclosures, has hit even the larger charities. Last month, Greater Boston Food Bank reported up to a 50 increase in demand for food among the 600 hunger relief agencies it serves in Massachusetts.
"I have worked in food banking for nearly 30 years, and have never seen a situation as challenging as the one we face," said food bank president Catherine D'Amato in a letter posted on the organization's Web site.
Locally, hunger relief agencies are seeing spikes in demand, as well as donations. In Medway, the town's food bank saw 30 families looking for donations on Tuesday night, said agency director Helen Luccio. Usually, that number is around 20 families, she said.
The Medway Food Bank gets food from the Greater Boston Food Bank, plus receives donations from individuals. So far, there's been no post-holiday drop in donations to the bank, she said.
"I haven't seen any drop-off (in donations), thank heavens," Luccio said.
In Natick, Joanne Barry, executive director of the food bank A Place to Turn on Hartford Street, said she has seen an sharp increase in the demand for food aid.
The food bank received about $17,500 from the foundation, which will cover the cost of feeding 150 families for two weeks, Barry said. But they have also seen rising numbers of donations - including drop-offs of a few bags of groceries, she said.
The organization is looking at ways of maintaining its current level of food assistance, as the group expects to help even more families this winter, she said.
"Historically (during) January, February and March, we're not seeing close to the amount in donations in November and December," Barry said. But now, "I'm hopeful (that) people are cognizant of the needs of their neighbors."

5 Inspiring Wins Of Brands That Switched To Progressive Web Apps
Progressive web apps (PWAs) are a great combination of the best features websites
and apps have to offer. With a PWA, users can enjoy the whole app experience directly through their browser
without having to install an app on their device. Additionally, PWAs work offline, are instantly available and load instantly, compared
to slow classic websites.
Now, users are able to access their favourite brands without ever installing an app, even when they don't have internet access. What's more, PWAs cost cheaper than native apps!
It's not surprising that brands such as Twitter, Blibli, Flipkart, Trivago, and Alibaba have switched to using PWAs. In this blog post, we'll talk about how these brands became successful by switching to a PWA!
Why PWAs?
There's an inverse relationship between the number of people using the web and mobile web browsers, and the amount of time users spend on websites. In effect, websites experience slower load time and frequent downtime due to the sheer volume of traffic (people visiting your website).
As a result, brands were challenged to create an engaging experience for their users. In 2015, Google introduced PWAs with the promise of transforming how websites engage even with large audiences and create a better customer experience.
However, not everyone was willing to risk their businesses on newly released tech back then. Today, PWAs are getting more and more attention as big companies make the switch. So what's so special about PWAs that inspire both big and small brands alike?
The best of the web and the app
To be progressive means to get better and better over time; true to its name, a PWA gets better the more you use it. With the best of both worlds, PWAs offer customers a whole new experience:
Instant loading
Accessible even if there's no connection
Mobile-like design and behaviour
Low development cost compared to native apps
Better performance than native web and apps
PWAs work with all kinds of devices
No installation needed + no need for updating
No dependence on App Distribution Services
Push Notification Functionality
SEO-optimized
5 brands with inspiring wins
These 5 brands (among the many) made the switch and won. Check out their inspiring wins below!
Twitter needs no introduction – they are a social network and microblogging service used by millions of people and organizations to communicate in real time.
Problem: 80% of their customers were mobile users, so they had to think of a new way for users with a poor internet connection to access the app with lower data usage. With over 328 million monthly active users, Twitter saw the need to provide a great, fast, reliable and engaging user experience.
Solution: In 2017, Twitter introduced its PWA called Twitter Lite. At 600 kB, Twitter Lite is significantly smaller than its Android app counterpart (23.5 MB). Moreover, this PWA provides quick web push notifications and temporary offline navigation to add to the home screen.
Wins: Twitter Lite resulted in a 65% increase in pages per session, 70% scroll extension, 75% increase in sent, and a 20% reduced bounce rate.
Blibli is Indonesia's first digital mall, a major e-commerce platform that leads Indonesians to a new digital lifestyle and only the finest shopping experience for better living.
Problem: The Blibli web team found that 70% of their visitors were using phones to access their website. Additionally, half of the total traffic was classified as 'returning users'. Because of this, Blibli was determined to provide a separate experience for the new users and the returning users.
Solution: Blibli invested on a homepage UX revamp, a lightweight version of the homepage was created for new users, and a progressive Web App for returning users.
Wins: The new strategy enabled them to accomplish some outstanding results: 42% bounce rate reduction, 8x better mCVR in PWA than on a mobile website, and 2.5x More pages/sessions in PWA.
Flipkart is an Indian e-commerce company for various product categories, such as consumer electronics, fashion, and lifestyle products.
Problem: More than half of Flipkart users have a weak internet connection and mostly use mobile devices to access their website.
Solution: Flipkart came up with their own PWA called Flipkart Lite, integrating their online and native application capabilities to provide an offline solution for more than half of its consumers. Flipkart Lite requires just 100 KB of data storage, 300 times less than their iOS app.
Wins: Their biggest win is that 60% who previously uninstalled their native app returned to use Flipkart Lite. This new app has led to 40% re-engagement and 3 times increase in customer usage.
Trivago is a hotel search website where users may compare and get the lowest hotel pricing across 190 countries.
Problem: The most important worry of customers already overseas experienced was downloading heavy applications and getting a smooth booking experience, regardless of slow Wi-Fi or extremely poor cell coverage.
Solution: Trivago switched to a PWA that loads faster than the existing native app, has push notifications, and an offline mode to avoid downtimes for travelers around the world.
Wins: Trivago experienced a 150% increase in engagement, an almost 100% increase in click-throughs to hotels, and additional features for considerably less data storage – search for rooms by location, price, rating, and more. In addition, customers now click on hotel offers twice as much as with the native app (97% increase).
Alibaba.com is the largest B2B marketplace where buyers and sellers from over 200 countries connect. It is one of the three main e-commerce sites of the top Chinese e-commerce company, Alibaba Group.
Problem: Alibaba.com's biggest challenge was user engagement. At first, they banked on a mobile-optimized UI UX design and tried to convert their 846 million mobile consumers to use their native app instead of mobile browsers. However, 51% of Alibaba.com's users preferred to stay within the browser and rejected the idea of downloading a native app.
Solution: If users were rejecting the idea of native apps, the next best thing to consider was a PWA that would provide a fast, effective, and reliable customer experience within a mobile browser.
Wins: The overall conversions between browsers were up by 76%, 4X higher interaction rate from 'Add to HomeScreen, and monthly active user rates rose 14% over iOS and 30% over Android.
These are just 5 of the most inspiring brands that reaped the benefits of switching to a PWA. Imagine the success of so many other companies that went ahead and made the switch. Take your business to the next level – Switch to a PWA today!

For her commission at Chisenhale, Céline Condorelli keeps the clean, industrial setting of the gallery seemingly intact; yet, the gallery door is gone and a window is revealed. Behind a large, semi-transparent golden curtain—a recurring form in Condorelli's work—a peculiar environment is set up, which brings in mind a research space. The exhibition evokes a sense tranquility and perfect balance between the objects, which are, both in a formal and notional sense, related to furniture. A table fashioned from office desks, ladders and stools invites the viewer to "climb at their own risk" and redefine the exhibition space through the object, thus trusting the structural function of the work. A group of plants, carefully placed underneath a grow light emphasises the idea of organisational balance characterising Condorelli's project. The well-calculated manner in which the works are placed becomes a platform of reflection upon matters of stability, stressing the sense of crucial structures needed to support the relationship between the object, the space and the viewer, which does not differ much from human affiliations. Turning a series of everyday objects into innovative functional constructions might just be the tangible reminder of how experiential fragments of our lives are joined together with others', proposing new ways of relating to each other.

Siege: Trump Under Fire is a book by Michael Wolff and which according to Wolff, details the behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration. The book is a sequel to Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, a New York Times number one bestseller.

Publication
In June 2018, Wolff announced that he had signed a deal with Henry Holt and Company, the publisher of Fire and Fury, to write a sequel. The book was released on June 4, 2019.

Summary
Wolff's narrative begins in February 2018, and ends with the release of the Mueller Report in March 2019. Wolff uses on-the-record comments by Steve Bannon, a former aide to Trump. He claims to have 150 sources for the book. According to Wolff, "Robert Mueller drew up a three-count obstruction of justice indictment against Donald Trump before deciding to shelve it." A week prior to the release of Siege, a spokesperson for Mueller denied that such a document exists.

Reception
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who was mentioned in the book, criticized Wolff and his publisher's alleged failure to confirm the story, adding that "it is fiction and bad fiction at that."

On-demand cleaning company Homejoy closed down on July 17, 2015 after dealing with a similar suit.
Having invested a term abroad in France, Binghamton College senior Christiana Metaxas concurs that innovation is shepherding in a brand-new age of globalization and also "electronic nomadism.".
"I would certainly prefer something in between after university, in between a "profession" kind job as well as something totally short-term," he claims. I additionally wish to be able to take a trip while I'm still young," Wall surface claims.
"The globe we reside in is everything about globalization," she claims. Both digital wanderers as well as individuals in the job economic climate-- as well as there's fairly a little bit of overlap-- are adding to the creation of a brand-new point of view on what "work" must resemble.".
Elly Leavitt is a pupil at the University of Virginia and a summer 2015 USA TODAY Collegiate Reporter.

The job economic climate is a debatable topic that has actually achieved enough nationwide interest since late.
"Presently in my life, I'm not exactly certain just what I intend to do for my job, so I would certainly delight in the adaptability of having the ability to switch over works reasonably easily. The 9-to-5 guidelines of work are leftovers from a previous age as well as so many of them just do not use anymore. Having hung around examining as well as working abroad during his time at the University of Virginia, he thinks that a more "traditional" task right out of university may not be the most effective choice.
This development in gig economic situation workers could show a moving work environment suitable for lots of college student seeking employment post-graduation.
"There is definitely a major shift in the method individuals function, with an increasing number of people understanding that they don't have to be linked down to a solitary area to work efficiently," she says. They cannot sustain the desires and passions of many individuals in the workforce. This would allow Uber motorists to get repayment for their expenses along with staff member perks.
Specified by Wired as "nontraditional jobs taken by independent contractors, temperatures, or freelancers", this shared, or "gig" economic climate, consists of businesses such as TaskRabbit, Uber and Airbnb that permit individuals to work separately through a company - not as workers, yet as contractors.
Isabel Hirama is the advertising and marketing chief at Jobbatical, and believes the surge of the job economic climate could be connected to an arising area of "electronic wanderers.".
"This on-demand approximately called 'gig' economic situation is developing exciting possibilities and unleashing advancement, yet it's likewise elevating tough inquiries regarding work environment defenses and what a good task will certainly look like in the future," she claimed, mentioning the fact that many independent service providers do not delight in full-time employee benefits such as health care or retirement cost savings.
Popular ridesharing provide solution for Uber deals with a case that declares that its workers need to be considered employees instead of insulation contractors. For me, I really feel like the initial couple of years out if college are actually the only time you have so couple of responsibilities - no family, no costly rental fee-- that you could virtually go anywhere and also do whatever you want, to an extent. According to its internet site, Jobbatical has actually accumulated a neighborhood of more than 9,000 experts since its 2014 launch
. employees in the job economic situation stays uncertain, 2 economists believe that the quantity of consultants is raising. Harvard's Larry Katz and Princeton's Alan Krueger http://lowclasslife.com described 2 indications of this upswing to Fusion:.
Jack Problem is one such pupil. There will consistently be people who like a standard 9-5 task, yet several these days's youths are aiming to take a trip, whether it be through their job or on trip.".
The first is that the share of the utilized (as well as of the grown-up populace) declaring a 1099 kind, the tax record "job economic situation" employees must submit, increased in the 2000s, even as conventional procedures of self-employment decreased in the 2000s.
Lizzy Wall, a rising elderly at Christopher Newport University, agrees.
Finding versatile, short-term tasks for Millennials - or "jobs"-- is the core idea for start-up Jobbatical. "I wish to do something that remains in like with what I'm interested in providing for an occupation, as for I understand just what that will certainly be, but that isn't really long-term. "Innovation is connecting the void between different nations and cultures, specifically by making worldwide traveling much more accessible. So I intend on benefiting from that.".
"These disparities recommend a development of 'job' and 'share' economic climate workers which receive 1099 revenue, documents Schedule C kinds on their tax obligations, yet don't answer the typical [government] question as indicating they are independent and also do not claim they are a multiple work owner," Katz stated.
Also, the share of individuals filing Schedule C tax obligation kinds to report profits and losses for their homemade companies is up "substantially" in the 2000s, "although study procedure of self-employment are down.".
