On behalf of our client, Prime Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), we hereby provide a response to oral comments received from the staff (the "Staff") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2013 regarding the Company's Schedule TO-I filed February 26, 2013 (the "Schedule TO").
· It engaged investment banking firms to assist it with increasing its shareholder base by: (i) speaking with retail investors about the Company to increase awareness and interest in the Company, and (ii) setting up meetings between the Company and potential investors. The Company's management team has participated in a number of such meetings (whether in person or by phone), since it received the deficiency letter from Nasdaq.
· Its management team has communicated directly with investors and potential investors in order to increase interest and awareness of the Company. Many of the potential investors management has communicated with are investors who worked with or invested with the management team in the past and who the management team feels would be interested in investing in the Company.
· The Company has a public relations firm which the Company uses to manage communications with investors and respond to investors on a timely basis.
Although the Company does not yet have any documentary evidence of the number of holders of its shares after the date it received its deficiency notice, it believes, based on communications with investors, that the number of retail holders of the Company's securities has increased.

I'm hoping to soon become a Krogenite, but I am having a hard time finding a good source of Krogen information online. I know there must be stuff out there, but it seems there is very little activity on any of the places I've found. I'm not ready to plunk down $30 for Krogen Cruisers, I'm not looking for a social club, but more of a users group or similar forum where the are active owners exchanging ideas etc. I've managed to find such a group for every other boat I've owned, but the Krogenites seem to be elusive.
I'd greatly appreciate any pointer to an active board/group/forum where I could ask questions and read about other Krogen owners experiences.
why dont you contact kadey krogen direct.maybe they can help.if you find out anything,please post it as i will be interested in a kk in a couple of years myself.
Carey - yes, that's the $30 site I mentioned in my post. I think it's more of a cruising club than online forum for owners and those interested in becoming KK owners.
Spend the $30. I suspect it will be worth it. Even if the site leads you not to get a KK, it's a pretty cheap boat investment.
Gull: *Your pretty accurate in your description of Krogen owners. *Even to the observations of a relative introvert (me), they are a quiet group. *In the past, I have published a few newsletters, and even one collector magazine. *I have considered doing something like that to stur up some dynamics in the group,...perhaps with another web site. *There is good info on the site, but it's slow in coming. *Could it be that Krogen owners are spending the bulk of their time cruising and enjoying their boats instead of talking on forums? *I'm really proud of being a Krogen owner, but the truth is, if I had the time and opportunity to cruise, you'd probably be hearing a lot less from me too.
Gull: I agree with what Carey says, spend the $30.00. It gives you acess to the archives which go back over 5 years and they talk about any issues that are Krogen related. If you have any questions, post it on the forum and I'm sure you will get a response. Keep in mind that there were not that many Krogens built when you compare them to Grand Banks or CHB's. I think there were around 100 Manatees and 206 - 42's. In any case welcome to this forum.
Yep, if it is Krogen specific, post it here. Amazingly, most boat issues are general in nature and can be answered elsewhere on this forum and with a bigger audience.
We also recommend joining the KC forum, the expense gains you a vast library of knowledge & if wanted, a group of like minded enthusiast to ask questions of.
We were in your position a yr ago & thru a number of informative sites feel confident we made good decisions throughout the process of aquiring a KK 36.
So, just figured out I have 2 names on this forum. From now on I have one. Dont ask how I managed but exfedex is no more. just me...xfedex.
No problem, John. *An Ex-Fedex by any other name is an Ex-Fedex.


The recent meningitis outbreak is the cause of a rare secondary illness called an epidural abscess. The meningitis drug was contaminated with a fungus, and this fungus is present in the new infections.
Over 400 people in the United States were made sick from the contaminated drug. St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan has had one third of their 53 meningitis patients coming back with the epidural abscess.
The abscess can cause meningitis. It presents only one symptom- pain at the site of injection. The abscesses form around the bone and cannot be seen from the skin. An MRI scan is needed to see the extent of the infection. In most cases, the abscesses can be drained through surgery. In rare instances, they can develop around nerves and are impossible to be surgically removed. In those cases, a cocktail of anti-fungal and antibiotic drugs are prescribed.
This particular fungal infection is causing concern because it is not responding to anti-fungal drugs. The containment in the initial outbreak and now found in the infection is a black mold called Exserohilum.
This secondary infection is not the only complication patients are dealing with. Another problem has been arachnoiditis, which are inflamed nerves that cause pain, incontinence, and numbness.

Kirkman Speaks About The Walking Dead's Spinoff
Robert Kirkman, was interviewed recently about the spinoff series for The Walking Dead (on AMC) that is preparing to be filmed, and in Kirkman's normal roundabout way of teasing things and revealing details, he had the following to say.
I will say that this is going to be a show about family, but it's going to be a show about a different type of family that we haven't explored in The Walking Dead thus far. So what we're trying to do with The Walking Dead spinoff is keep the story as familiar as possible for people that love The Walking Dead, so you'll get the kind of things that you expect from a Walking Dead story. But, at the same time, we'll want to tell these stories in a completely different way with completely different people in a completely different setting that's going to make for a fundamentally different show. I think the look and feel of The Walking Dead spinoff is going to be startlingly different.
He was then asked about the location difference of Los Angeles as compared to rural Georgia, which I think is an excellent idea.
It's Los Angeles. It's a corner of the world that we have never explored in the comic book series. So, theoretically, something like this could be happening in Los Angeles in the comic book series, but we don't show you this area of the country in the comic book series. So it fits within that world, but it is all new characters, all new events and all kinds of crazy stuff.
So far all we know is that one of the characters from the spinoff interacted in a previous season of the original series and it's been said that this new show will start prior to the outbreak which we all can hope will give us some answers…knowing AMC and Kirkman, that's not going to happen for any number of years.

Mysterious Arctic Ice Circles Puzzle NASA Scientists

Every month, NASA Observatory's Earth Matters challenges viewers to describe a mysterious satellite image, the answer to which is posted on the website a week later. However, even the experts could not come up with a definitive explanation for the April Puzzler, a photo featuring mysterious ice circles in the Arctic.
John Sonntag stumbled upon the three ice holes on April 14 while flying over the eastern Beaufort Sea, about 50 miles northwest of Canada's Mackenzie River Delta. The mission scientist for NASA's Operation IceBridge — which has been mapping the North and South poles' land and sea ice for a decade — reported, "we saw these sorta-circular features only for a few minutes today. I don't recall seeing this sort of thing elsewhere."
NASA scientists say the circles are clearly in an area where the sea ice is young and still forming. "The ice is likely thin, soft, and mushy and somewhat pliable," said Don Perovich, a sea ice geophysicist at Dartmouth College. "This can be seen in the wave-like features in front of the middle 'amoeba." IceBridge project scientist Nathan Kurtz concurs, saying, "It's definitely an area of thin ice, as you can see finger rafting near the holes and the color is gray enough to indicate little snow cover."
However, neither expert can explain how they were formed. Kurtz admits, "I'm not sure what kind of dynamics could lead to the semi-circle shaped features surrounding the holes. I have never seen anything like that before."

Some researchers speculate they are breathing holes carved by Arctic seals. "The encircling features may be due to waves of water washing out over the snow and ice when the seals surface," said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. "Or it could be a sort of drainage feature that results from when the hole is made in the ice." Chris Shuman, a University of Maryland at Baltimore County glaciologist based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, theorizes the holes could also be the result of warmer water seeping through from the Beaufort currents or the nearby Mackenzie River.
Earth Matters contestants also came up with some ideas. Among the more plausible ones were that the icy circles are remnants of meteorites, or dried-up salt lakes. However, given that even Sontag, who has seen his share of bizarre frozen phenomenon, is stumped by the icy circles, their origins are likely to remain a mystery – at least for now!

How to Hike With Your Dog!
Jeremy Pugh
When to go: Anytime! Now that you're a dog owner in Utah, it is important that you take your giant, slavering untrained puppy absolutely everywhere with you. We all love dogs! So. Much.
Why? No idea. You're the one who moved to Utah. You're like, "Mom. No, I'm not going to turn Mormon. I think I'll get a dog!" That's the Utah way.
How much? Can you really put a price on a creature that loves you unconditionally until he starts humping that lady dog and you're like "Fennel! Get off her!"? But still yeah, lots and lots of money, time and inconvenience. Especially when Fennel gets into Jerry and Kestrel's backyard chickens. Ooh boy. Also, Gary's going to expect you to replace his ultra-light Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad. It's possible you'll have to re-carpet.
What about the poop? Make sure you carefully bag up your dog's doo and then leave the baggie trailside because, eww, you're not going to carry that around! Just leave its transportation out of the canyon to someone else who cares more than you and ignore the burning in your ears as that Samaritan curses you and your pooch.
Where to go? Tanner Park or, as we like to call it, "What Life Will Look Like When Dogs Rule the Earth." Millcreek Canyon has alternating on-leash and off-leash days. But those are for people whose puppy isn't just the best little puppy ever. Stay out of humanity's last stronghold: The Cottonwoods. Don't forget the Farmers Market!
What if he? Jumps all over other hikers and mauls other dogs? That's a great way to meet people IRL. Be sure to call out, "He's friendly!"
What to expect? Poop. Steaming piles of human-sized poop. As the pup grows, you'll need bigger bags.
Still going to get that dog, huh? Adopt a rescue from Best Friends Utah. 2005 S. 1100 East, SLC 801-574-2454, utah.bestfriends.org.

This is the story of a famous E.R.A.
Fifty years ago a famous racing driver and an equally famous car made motor racing history and became legends. The car's name was Romulus, a British E.R.A. painted in the blue and yellow colours of what was then known as Siam. The driver was Prince Bira.
This fascinating film portrays the story of how two Siamese princes, Prince Bira and his cousin and manager Prince Chula, established the White Mouse team and took on the top racing drivers of the 1930s. Bira won the BRDC Gold Star three years in succession and Siam's name became well known in a world predominantly monopolised by European drivers.
One dream remained, to race Romulus in front of their home crowd. In 1939, Chula had finalised plans for the Bangkok Grand Prix when the intervention of World War II cancelled the event.
Fifty years later, Prince Chula's daughter Narisa Chakrabongse fulfilled her father's dream. Fifteen historic racing cars were assembled for the Bangkok Historic Grand Prix, a two-part event held on the original intended circuit through the streets of Bangkok and at the modern Pattaya International circuit.
As well as assembling Romulus and five other ex-Bira cars, Narisa also invited no less than five Bugattis, two MGs and a BMW. Eight cars came from the UK, six from Australia and one from the USA. Romulus, regarded as a legend by the Thai people, led the cars in a demonstration run both at Bangkok and Pattaya, driven by Narisa.
Rodney Felton's powerful Alfa recorded the fastest time in Bangkok, but on the twisty Pattaya circuit some delightful surprises took place!
Include rare high quality pre-war colour and black & white footage from Narisa Chakrabongse's archives.
This is almost 60 glorious minutes of motor racing history.


In a Nutshell: Setbacks are inevitable, especially when it comes to careers and personal finances. Author Alexandra Franzen is no stranger to adversity, and in her book "You're Going to Survive" she shares stories of career turmoil and how to emerge from those situations triumphant. She recommends setting small goals and opening up to sympathetic friends or loved ones. Franzen's book conveys tales aimed at helping readers facing similar challenges find inspiration, empower themselves, and work toward a better future.
At one time or another, almost everyone will deal with a career crisis. Many will grapple with unemployment and the problems that come with it. Alexandra Franzen, author of "You're Going to Survive," tells the story of one man who was interviewing for his dream job. He'd made it to the final round of the selection process, his prospects looked good, and his hopes were high. But, at the last minute, he was told that someone else had been chosen to fill the position. He was devastated.
Alexandra Franzen wrote "You're Going to Survive" to help people work through professional difficulties.
In the midst of such career disappointments — or financial setbacks — it's easy to feel embarrassment at being out of work or shame at being in debt. Everyone who struggles with employment, bills, and other aspects of personal finance is undoubtedly familiar with these negative feelings.
The book offers hope to those struggling with career adversity and motivation to find a way to move past those difficulties into a better future.
Franzen, a career writer, stepped out of her comfort zone when she joined a team that was opening a restaurant. For her, it was a large amount of work along with substantial financial and emotional risk. She and her partners got the restaurant off the ground and running smoothly, but that was only the beginning of her journey.
As a writer, Franzen had dealt with rejection from publishers, but she'd never encountered such outright hostility in a public forum. The experience brought with it the fear and self-doubt we all feel when facing career difficulties.
Franzen's instinct was to isolate herself, but she instead turned to her friends and family. She explained what she was going through and asked them for words of support, encouragement, and comfort.
This experience comforted Franzen and gave her the strength to persevere. It also provided something just as important: The inspiration to lend the same support to others.
Franzen began collecting those narratives, interviewing people, and compiling their experiences into "You're Going to Survive." The book explains the difficult situations people encounter, how they overcome adversity, and how the experiences made them stronger and more capable. Franzen hopes that those tales can provide for others the same support and inspiration she experienced during her own trying times.
"I wrote the book in the hopes that someone else who's going through a rough time will read it and remember: 'I'm not alone. I'm not the first person to go through something tough like this, and I won't be the last. All of these other people survived — and I will, too,'" Franzen said.
Many of the stories in "You're Going to Survive" involve unemployment and the struggle to find work. The story of the man rejected from his dream job in the final round of interviews is one that she encountered while working on the book. However, the job seeker in question ended up receiving an even better job offer just a few weeks after his big rejection.
One of the most important practices is avoiding a self-defeating attitude. Just because things haven't worked out in the past doesn't mean that pattern will continue. Franzen said people need to trust themselves and their work ethic to pull them through difficult situations.
"You're Going to Survive" is filled with stories of people who overcame professional adversity.
When feeling intimidated or bogged down, the most critical steps are the little ones. Franzen recommends setting small milestones and using them to build momentum. Achieving even minor goals provides the sense of satisfaction that comes with checking items off a to-do list. Eventually, those small victories will snowball into larger, sweeping accomplishments.
The genesis of Franzen's project grew out of a challenging moment in her career. In the midst of the upheaval, she said she found inspiration and encouragement in her social support network. However, she said, that isn't always the case.
Alexandra Franzen recommends speaking with a friend or a family member if you're experiencing a challenge in your life or career.
For readers who are feeling down and struggling to get back up, Franzen shared a pair of books she finds valuable. The first is "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron, a Buddhist nun and best-selling writer on shame, grief, and dealing with difficulty. Chodron's book provides perspectives on how to face adversity and move beyond it. Her second recommendation is Mark Nepo's "Book of Awakening," which consists of 365 short essays addressing life's difficulties and how to live meaningfully. Franzen recommends reading one essay each day.
For those in need of more urgent assistance, Franzen encourages them to take advantage of Crisis Text Line. This non-profit, free service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It connects people in need with trained crisis counselors who can help them deal with emotional crises, de-escalate bad emotions, and regain some clarity of thought.
Finally, Franzen recommends the simple act of sitting down and speaking with another person, whether it's a friend, a family member, or just someone with a sympathetic ear.
Because everyone is likely to deal with a career crisis or other significant setback in their lives, "You're Going to Survive" is a book that can help many professionals. And Franzen has received plenty of feedback from readers who found value in the stories recounted in it.
Many of those listeners have chosen to share their own stories with Franzen. Their willingness to open up about their painful experiences is further proof that everyone has a story about difficult times and, most importantly, those difficulties can be conquered through optimism and perseverance.
Franzen's latest book, "So This Is The End," is a novel about two people who only have 24 hours to live.
Franzen, not one to rest on her laurels, has been hard at work on another project. Her newest book, "So This Is the End," is a novel, a departure from the style and subject matter of "You're Going to Survive." But, like its nonfiction predecessor, the book explores the depths and heights of the human spirit, albeit from a distinctly different angle.

WRC 3 The Game : Just release a week ago, what brought me to this game because of my proud Malaysia Rally machine, The Proton Satria Neo S2000 by Proton Motorsports. After finished installed it, i leave it for a while because got some work to be done. A few hours later, some friends ask me to review it. Ahh okay.. okay.. Here the video first i want share. This was my first experience of WRC 3, with no arrow/map interface, i just listen to co-driver reading his pacenote and follow my instinct i drove and keep move without restart. It something not easy because sometimes we might get confuse. hahaha.. What important is calm, focus and keep attention to pacenote.
The video recorded using 3rd party software called Fraps. So far i just use this software for any game recording. Hell yeah! i need enough storage capacity before doing any recording. Back to the game story, time to test it. My hardware just old system of Intel Quad-Core 2.5Ghz, 8GB DDR2 Ram and Nvidia GeForce 450GTS and 19'inch square old LG LCD Monitor. The resolution i set to 1280×720 to match HD 720p resolution with game max graphic setting.
For me, the graphic have little improvement compare to last WRC 2. The steering movement look nice compare to WRC 2 it look err.. what to say. haha. What i love about this game is it camera mode. You can move freely to capture the scene you love.
haha nice or not? Ahh i wish i have much better pc spec for smooth graphic and 3d photo capture. If you have new big graphic card with at least i5 processor why not just max out the graphic like anitsotropic and Anti-Aliasing to max of your graphic card potential. Huhu.. Allrite. nothing more i could say here because i still not try the Career mode. Ahh.. still got some work to be done.
And this is Proton Satria Neo 1.6cc stock at 1way downhill touge.


Hi my name is Ana, and I want to give you a huge thanks for the help and support that you have given me. I hope God keeps blessing you so you can keep helping us and all the families that are also in need of help and support. The money that you provided for me was very helpful, I was able to buy shoes and clothes for my children and that helped them for school. Also the bread that you gave me was really really good both my husband and I enjoyed it, thank you very much. We ask for your prayers, and thanks to the Lord my husband has been better but he is still in the hospital and we don't know when he will get out. It was an honor for me meeting such nice people like you, you really touched my heart and I feel like you are angels sent from God. Merry christmas to y'all and your families. Again thank you so much and God bless you!

The Ridge theatre is another longstanding Vancouver landmark that has been consumed by condofication. It closed for good on Sunday, February 3 after 63 years.
I remember going there when I first moved to Vancouver. I went to the Rocky Horror Picture show with friends in school, Spike & Mike's Animation Festivals with dates, and even "Movies for Mommies" after I had my son. It was kind of like the Ridge went through phases of life with me.
I painted it at twilight like a big exclamation mark. Adios, Ridge.

A new chapter in the Syrian literary scene
Etana Books
29.12.10 Joanne Lisinska
"For me, it's not only a library and bookshop: it's a shelter," says Maan Abdulsalam about Etana Books, his recent cultural project. Tucked into a beautiful stone house in the heart of Shaalan, it is a hybrid space, part lending library, part bookstore, part café, and, above all these, "spirits gathering."
It's also a place, "where you can find one book, one chapter, one poet, one phrase, that gives you a bright soul," Abdulsalam continues. To give this search scope, Etana covers a wide range of subjects: social studies, anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy, literature, religious studies, mythology and art.
"For me, it's not only a library and bookshop: it's a shelter."
"The library is too small to bring everything," says Abdulsalam regretfully. In spite, or because, of this limitation, Etana is laid out so as to maximise reflection, with sofas arranged in three cozy nooks downstairs, and tables and chairs for studying on the second floor. There is also a division of purposes: the downstairs is the shop, with shelves crammed floor to ceiling with books for sale; the upstairs is the library, with a selection of books in Arabic and English.
"We have a policy," Abdulsalam explains. "When we started, we distributed a list of many books from many publishing houses to forty writers and intellectuals, people who are readers, and we asked their opinion on what they'd like to see." After collating the responses, they stocked the most recommended titles.
Besides books, there is an audio-visual library of music and newly released DVDs, along with viewing and listening stations. The café serves coffee — Turkish and Italian — and an assortment of baked goods. For 75 lira per day, or 750 lira per month, library users can bask in this calm atmosphere from 9am to 9pm, Sunday through Thursday.
Etana also hosts cultural events for all ages, with poetry readings and discussion groups in the evenings, and children's activities every Saturday from 11 to 1 and from 3 to 5. Neighbourhood kids get free access to the shelves, and they stop in regularly to choose their next book, their eyes as wide as if they were picking out candy.
"It's fun, but it's serious. It's not entertainment, it's a need, and that's why we are doing it."
The library's collective organisation and collaborative procedures are a far cry from business-as-usual chains that blindly follow best-seller lists. And that's deliberate. "It's what we think is useful to help and support and give the right direction when people are looking for intellectual entertainment," Abdulsalam explains. Too many people "are not used to being interested in culture; it's something they're alienated from."
So Etana's mission is to make culture a popular priority, and "we are really serious with this," he insists. "It's fun, but it's serious. It's not entertainment, it's a need, and that's why we are doing it." Happily, it is not just readers who are responding to this opportunity, but book producers as well. On a typical afternoon, Fadi Ableh, artist and illustrator of several of the books for sale, is browsing the stacks as well. His face lights up when he starts flipping through art books.
"There aren't enough art books in the country," Mohammed Abash exclaims, and Ableh agrees. Recounting his days in art school in the late 80s, he says, "we were told that money wasn't everything. But people learned that you couldn't live from culture, so it wasn't needed; and so it was excluded from the community." Now, he says, as opportunities for artists increase, "the new generation is more in need."
For now, Etana is making headway towards that goal by providing books whose value transcends their prices. Because in any good book, as Ableh puts it, the joy of the producer is somehow transferred to the reader, "so another kind of joy will be received." And, he adds, "I've never seen a kid who resisted a good book." Now, with a little practice in the cool quiet of Etana, readers of all ages can remember the same ease.

Marie François Xavier Bichat  (Thoirette, 14 de noviembre de 1771 - París, 22 de julio de 1802), más conocido como Xavier Bichat, fue un médico, biólogo, anatomista y fisiólogo francés.

Biografía

Marie François Xavier Bichat comienza sus estudios de medicina en Lyon bajo la dirección de Marc-Antoine Petit. En 1793 se traslada a París, donde Pierre Joseph Desault reconoce rápidamente sus capacidades y se convierte desde entonces en su protector. A la muerte de Desault, Bichat completó y publicó su obra.

En 1797, Bichat comienza a dar clases de medicina, actividad que a partir de 1800 compagina con su ejercicio como médico del Hôtel-Dieu de París. Al mismo tiempo, se dedica a la investigación anatómica, publicando grandes tratados, siendo su principal obra la Anatomía general, aplicada a la fisiología y a la medicina, completada y ampliada póstumamente (tras la muerte de Bichat) por Pierre Augustin Béclard. El 22 de julio de 1802, Bichat muere a la edad de 30 años, 14 días después de haber sufrido una caída accidental por las escaleras en el Hôtel-Dieu de París. Su muerte fue retratada en un cuadro (Xavier Bichat mourant), de Louis Hersent. Fue enterrado en el cementerio de Père-Lachaise.

Obra

Vitalismo
Bichat es una de las figuras más destacadas del vitalismo, corriente filosófica que se expandió por Europa como reacción ante el materialismo mecanicista que había imperado durante la primera parte del siglo XVII. Bichat defendió la irreductibilidad de la vida a la materia inerte:

Funciones animales y funciones vegetativas
Bichat (1771-1802) investigó en detalle la distinción establecida por Aristóteles y Buffon entre las funciones vegetativas y orgánicas. En primer lugar, Bichat clasifica las funciones, que permiten la supervivencia del organismo, ejemplo, la respiración nutrición,el transporte de sustancia y la excreción; en individuales y específicas. A su vez, entre las funciones específicas distingue aquellas pertenecientes a la vida animal y aquellas pertenecientes a la vida orgánica (Anatomie Generale, 1801):
 La vida animal se refiere a aquellas funciones que conectan al animal con los otros cuerpos. Los órganos asociados a ella son los nervios, el cerebro (el órgano central), los órganos de los sentidos y los músculos de la voluntad.
 La vida vegetal es aquella responsable de la digestión, la circulación, la respiración, la exhalación, la absorción, la secreción, la nutrición, la calorificación. El órgano central es el corazón.

Las diferencias entre ambos tipos de vida son múltiples:
 Desde el punto de vista estructural, la vida orgánica está caracterizada por la asimetría, mientras que la vida animal está caracterizada por la simetría.
 Desde el punto de vista de la influencia del hábito, mientras este juega un papel esencial en la vida animal, en la vida orgánica el hábito no desempeña ningún papel: en la vida vegetal, los órganos alcanzan su perfección independientemente del uso, mientras que los órganos de la vida animal requieren una educación para desarrollarse.
Concepto de nutrición
Incorporación de sustancias del medio ambiente y su transformación en el interior del organismo.
Sistemas relacionados con la nutrición
 Boca: digestión mecánica y digestión química mediante la saliva.
 Faringe y esófago: vía digestiva, conductos de paso.
 Estómago: continúa la digestión.
 Intestino delgado: donde se completa la digestión y se realiza la absorción de los alimentos.
 Intestino grueso: ocurre la absorción de agua y se forman las heces fecales.
 Ano: se eliminan los productos desechos de la digestión (egestión).

Concepto de transporte de sustancias
Es el movimiento de sustancias útiles hacia cada una de las células y de desechos hacia las estructuras escretoras. Sistema vinculado con esta función en los animales y el hombre,el sistema circulatorio.

Histología
Bichat ha pasado a la historia de la medicina por ser el gran renovador de la anatomía patológica, convirtiéndose en el fundador de la histología moderna. A través de la autopsia y la experimentación fisiológica, Bichat estudió los tejidos como unidades anatómicas fundamentales para la explicación de las propiedades fisiológicas y las modificaciones patológicas del organismo.
Bichat adopta las ideas de Théophile de Bordeu y Paul Joseph de Barthez sobre la fuerza vital, pero distingue la vida animal de la vida orgánica, concentrándose en esta última, tratando de encontrar una vitalidad propia a cada tejido.

Q: Enable if/else class member template instantiation Can anyone tell my how to enable if/else class member template based on different derived classes from pre-defined base set? Let me use the following example:
enum class Type {
  TYPEA,
  TYPEB
};

// Predefined in libraries.
class BaseA {...};
class BaseB {...};

class Foo {
  template <typename Derived, Type type>
  void foo();
};

// User-derived
class DerivedA : public BaseA {};
class DerivedB : public BaseB {};

Normally we need two template typenames for calling the member foo.
Foo obj;
obj.foo<DerivedA, Type::TypeA>()
obj.foo<DerivedB, Type::TypeB>();

However, this native approach seems lengthy because the second template argument Type::TypeA and Type::TypeB can obviously be deduced by compiler through the first argument DerivedA and DerivedB, if they are derived from pre-defined base properly. I notice that c++11 provides is_base_of template but I am not sure how to use it in my case. To be more specific, below is the expected solution:
obj.foo<DerivedA>();  // Automatically deduce type = Type::TypeA
obj.foo<DerivedB>();  // Automatically deduce type = Type::TypeB

And if the compile fails to deduce the Type from the first typename, it should it just goes back to the normal declaration obj.foo<MyClass, MyType> where MyType is either Type::TypeA or Type::TypeB.

A: Sounds like you just want a default template argument:
class Foo {
  template <typename Derived, Type type = get_type_from<Derived>::value>
  void foo();
};

Where get_type_from<> is a metafunction to be filled in later based on how you actually figure out the Types.

A: template<Type t>
using etype_tag = std::integral_constant<Type, t>;

template<class T>
struct tag_t {
  using type=T;
  template<class D,
    std::enable_if_t<std::is_base_of<T, D>::value, int>* =nullptr
  >
  constexpr tag_t( tag_t<D> ) {}
  constexpr tag_t() = default;
  constexpr tag_t(tag_t const&) = default;
};

template<class T>
constexpr tag_t<T> tag{};

constexpr etype_tag<Type::TYPEA> get_etype( tag_t<BaseA> ) { return {}; }
constexpr etype_tag<Type::TYPEB> get_etype( tag_t<BaseB> ) { return {}; }

template<class T>
constexpr decltype( get_etype( tag<T> ) ) etype{};

Now etype<Bob> is a compile-time constant integral constant you want.
class Foo {
  template <typename Derived, Type type=etype<Derived>>
  void foo();
};

makes the 2nd argument (usually) redundant.
You can extend get_etype with more overloads in either the namespace where etype is declared, or in the namespace of tag_t, or in the namespace of the type you are extending get_etype to work with, and etype will automatically gain support (assuming it is used in a context where the extension is visible: failure of that requirement leaves your program ill formed).

I'm bored and things. I should also probably consider looking for a job tomorrow...how is everyone?
Listening to Bright Eyes... my mouth tastes of salt from eating too many rich tea biscuits.
Glass of milch is in need.
It's nearly bedtime and I got up late so am wide awake. I want a cup of tea but can't be bothered to get up. Someone make me a cup of tea?
I have approximately twenty english pounds to spend over the coming six weeks. Mumsie dearest will probably give me food, but i reckon that i'm gonna spend a loooot of my time sitting in the garden, declining invitations to social events.
BUT I'M PRETTY COOL RIGHT NOW. If only I wasn't so HOT.
I think its the one I cuddle.
Why was he calling you a boy?
its a terrible condition alright.
What about the part with the pillow?
Was that a fabrication too?
Ludicrously drunk and watching Sweeney Todd for the 4th time. I like this film. Underrated.
That wasn't supposed to sound cynical in any way.
I happen to enjoy overly theatrical films thank you very much.
i really really don't want to. hopefully it'll rain and i get to go home early.
aha I used to work at a cafeteria and I'd be constantly steeling crunchies from the store room.
:D ah, good times. I'd have to eat it in the time it took my to walk back to the kitchen from the store... so it was never really satisfying.
which i'm not going to eat now. I suppose i could get a really early tomorrow and have it for breakfast but i probably won't.
that when I woke up on the train earlier on my glasses were on the floor and my flies were undone :S The ticket guy was standing there asking for ticket. Must have thought I was right paedo.
How do you know that it wasn't him that undid your flies?
so who is still up?
Feck it though, I need some kip. Gonna cal it a night. Peace out.

From a gold member since 2009
Well, it was fun while it lasted, congratulations SM on ruining one of my favourite footie games ever. From what I've been reading and the people I've spoken to the verdict on the latest update is pretty much unanimous, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING, you have a hell of a lot of unhappy customers.
This guy sums it perfectly
Look, i'm not going to go into absolute details about all things. Simply, you have made it harder to find sections of the game by increasing the amount of clicks we have to make. It's obvious why you've done this but what you haven't seem to have accounted for is this logic:
A user will spend more time on the game/your site if it's user friendly. In turn generating more clicks.
People are already demanding refunds and a lot of potential customers have been deterred. Here's a message from another forum (another member, not me) i'm on:
"Well I was going to buy a gold membership a couple of days ago, just so I could prioritise my (now missing) shortlist and so I could store more than one starting 11 and tactics at a time. I thought it would come in handy when cup games were being played, and also be worth a measly £10 for the year, but they can right off now. It's awful. Real shame as I was loving it."
On the old UI everything was so easy to find. You had the "taskbar" with everything lined up. "Team/Front page" - Squad - Tactics - Schedule etc. SImple, clean and effective.
Now you have to click on a section to get to a section to get to a different section. Then go back, go to a new section to go to a different section. Just complicated.
The new graphics look as designed for kids. Flashy colours, stars and player pictures all over. Should have just kept it simple and clean. Like the old UI. There really was no need to change it. Hopefully the new ME is better, for that i'll give you cred.
I know you won't listen to a thing i've said so i don't know why i even bother. You will find out the hard way. Damn shame.

Yep. My league has been going since 2012 and Redsky (who you quoted) along with Trion who posted just below you have been with the league from the start. Redsky started in Division 2 and Trion started in Division 5 and both have stuck with their respective teams and have been in Division 1 for a number of seasons now which is a great achievement. Since both have been in Division 1 neither have been relegated, which, when you compare their teams to some of the others is amazing. They're both successful in terms of honours, with Redsky being one of the most successful managers and to see both in the bottom three in attendances is scandalous.
Like Redsky said to me privately, he'd semi-understand if the algorithm didn't go through each clubs history and check for honours won first, but to have teams that have just been promoted jump over him in terms of stadium capacity is absurd, and West Ham and Wolverhampton having larger attendances despite finishing below Redsky last season was the kicker. There's been no logic in the algorithm at all and it is sad that it has been executed like it has done with seemingly no tests in long running gameworlds where any bugs in the algorithm could have been highlighted and fixed before executing on such a grand scale which has added to negative feedback the devs really wouldn't have wanted at this time.
Managers who have been with gameworlds since the beginning through good and bad are the glue that keeps the gameworld together. If they, like Redsky have lost faith and are leaving, it results in the demise of the gameworld as you can be sure that newer managers won't be as loyal and will see the resignations as a sign of the league's decline.
From the feedback I've read in this thread there are three things the devs must do as soon as possible to reduce the number of resignations and possibly bring some of the managers who have left back:
Bring in an option to use either the new or old interface on a permanent basis. Fix the stadium attendance algorithm and ensure that long serving successful managers don't feel hard done by. Tell us in clear detail the differences between each economy setting so that when the season ends, the owners of each game world know for sure which economy option will be best for the gameworld and won't result in its devastation. For those who agree with everything I've said in this post, please give it a 'like' so the devs can see.

This update may look nice aesthetically at first, but once you really dive in and try and play the game as you did last week, you'll find so many problems. I am honestly in disbelief that some things have been made so unnecessarily complicated. Why on earth would you remove stored tactics for example. I manage over 20 clubs and the reason I can is mainly down to that feature. Why on earth have players wages been doubled and values doubled, yet income and prize money remains the same? Why is the news feed and everything in general so large? No simple overview anymore. Gold championships, supposed to be the pinnacle of the game, are lucky to have 15 users now. I fear they will soon be extinct as people refuse to sink their own hard earned money into a game where those in charge don't seem to understand what the general user requires. Just look at the responses to this thread. If wager over 90% are negative. Failure to redeem such errors will be devastating.

Hosted vs. Premise-Based PBX: Which is Better for Your Business?
Your business may be perfectly happy with its current premise-based solution, and things may be running quite smoothly. But things can change quickly especially when it comes to technology. The premise-based PBX vendor you count on today to support your solutions might not be around tomorrow. Or as often happens these days they could discontinue the product you own and force you to upgrade to a more expensive system to continue being supported. Another frequent occurrence is, the internal IT/phone expert you rely on to make updates/fixes/changes to your phone system could leave the company. In other words, a lot can happen to undermine the happiness you currently have with your premise-based business phone system. And if you have a multi-vendor system—i.e., multiple vendors providing the local and long-distance voice, PBX, IVR, audio conferencing, fax service, etc.—you can multiply the dangers of disruption many fold. Small businesses that fail to update their communications capabilities could also risk falling way behind their competition without realizing it until it's too late. Communications systems have evolved considerably in recent years, driven in large part by a millennial workforce that has quite literally grown up with a mobile phone in its hands – all of the time! Millennials expect communication and collaboration to follow them seamlessly whether they're at the office or working remotely, on their desk phone, laptop or smartphone—and they'll naturally gravitate to companies that meet their expectations of mobility and flexibility. That said, small businesses shouldn't feel cornered into an all-or-nothing approach when it comes to cloud-based communications. As we'll cover in the following sections, as well as in future installments, today's hosted and premise-based solutions both have much to offer in terms of cost, convenience, features, security and quality.
Hosted VoIP vs. Premise VoIP: Which Costs More?
THE VERDICT: Ultimately, hosted vs. premise-based platforms can come down to a personal preference for a capital expenditure or operations expenditure pricing model. In a nutshell the premise solution; 1) costs much more upfront 2) has full feature capability built in that isn't optional 3) requires a service contract or in-house IT expert where the Hosted Solution; 1) little or no upfront hardware costs 2) advanced features can be added at any time and paid for only when needed 3) maintenance and support is provided by the host an included in the consistent system + service monthly bill. A Hosted VoIP solution = 1 vendor, all bundled together, one number to call for support!

Mass exodus! The Veronicas are the latest stars to leave Australia and move to the US after collaborating with Blink 182's Travis Barker
By Kinta Walsh-cotton For Daily Mail Australia
Published: 23:29 GMT, 1 November 2022 | Updated: 23:30 GMT, 1 November 2022
The Veronicas are waving goodbye to Australia for good and making a permanent move to the United States next year.
After a productive writing session with John Feldmann and Blink 182's Travis Baker in Los Angeles in July, Jess and Lisa Origliasso, 37, have their sights set on international stardom.
While the twins are 'sad' to be leaving home, they said it was time to head back to the country where they got their big break.
The Veronicas are waving goodbye to Australia for good and making a permanent move to the United States next year
'The US is where we started it all and it's always been a major focus for us,' Jess told the Courier Mail. 'We are going to sign management over there as well and we feel the future for the Veronicas is over there.
'We're leaving Australia unfortunately, which is sad, but we're really excited to be able to really connect with all of our fans more on the international scale.'
They said the US has always been in their future, but they were relived to be in Australia for the last few years to look after their mother who passed away last September from progressive supranuclear palsy.
After a productive writing session with John Feldmann and Blink 182's Travis Baker in Los Angeles in July, Jess and Lisa Origliasso, 37, have their sights set on international stardom
While playing some big gigs in Australia, the sisters were signed in a seven-year deal with Sony Music, which ended earlier this year.
Since their break from the record label, they have spent more and more time in the US with their American partners, Logan Hoffman and Alex Smith, while they play around in the studio with Feldmann, 55.
The Veronicas have known and worked with Feldmann since their 2007 hit Hook Me Up and even introduced boy band 5 Seconds of Summer to him, kicking off their own move to the American music market.
While the twins are 'sad' to be leaving home, they said it was time to head back to the country where they got their big break
'John always has us in to do sessions whenever we are back in LA and when we were there last time working on some songs he said, "You should release this on my label, we want the new Veronicas stuff,"' Jess said.
They signed a deal with Big Noise record label in Malibu the following day with new music already planned for release in 2023.
The inaugural When We Were Young event in Las Vegas next October has already snapped up the pop sisters, booking them alongside the likes of Green Day, Blink 182, The Offspring, 30 Seconds To Mars, Good Charlotte and 5SOS.
'The US is where we started it all and it's always been a major focus for us,' Jess said. 'We are going to sign management over there as well and we feel the future for the Veronicas is over there
The Veronicas are not the only Aussie musicians to leave for the big wigs in the American music industry.
Rufus Du Sol, Dean Lewis, Flume, Tame Impala, 5SOS and Alison Wonderland all booked it over seas to find global fame.
Some festivals in the US have also cast their eye on Tones and I for next year.

Lady Pats can't overcome sluggish first half
By Ken Blanchette |

TOWNSEND — When the Groton-Dunstable girls basketball team traveled to meet North Middlesex, the motives of the two teams were different. Groton-Dunstable came into the game looking to wrap up a strong regular season and tune up for the upcoming Central Mass. Division 2 playoffs. North Middlesex was hoping to spring an upset, but the Lady Pats saw any chance of that evaporate with a turnover-prone first half. Keyed by the strong play of seniors Heather Moody, Kasey Pelletier and Kat Falco, Groton-Dunstable built a 31-13 halftime lead and rolled to a 51-42 win.
Two things hurt the Lady Pats in the contest, their 16 first half turnovers which led to some easy transition baskets for the Lady Crusaders, and North Middlesex's inability to get to the free throw line. In the game, the Lady Pats attempted only six free throws, hitting four, while Groton-Dunstable attempted 22 freebies, connecting on 10. The Lady Pats did do some things well in the game, battling hard off the backboards and finishing with a 37-34 rebounding edge, and working hard defensively, forcing 20 Groton-Dunstable turnovers.
"We missed some easy shots early and turned the ball over way too much in the first half," said North Middlesex coach Pat Murphy. "We dug ourselves a deep hole, one that we just couldn't climb out of."
The Lady Crusdaders trailed just once in the game, when North Middlesex's Mackenzie Sharp opened the scoring with a follow-up basket.
The score was tied at 4-4 midway through the first quarter when Kayla Meijer finished off a drive and added a free throw for a conventional 3-point play to put the Lady Crusaders on top for good at 7-4.
Moody, who finished with 18 points and three steals, scored Groton-Dunstable's final seven points of the quarter as the Lady Crusaders extended the lead to 14-7 after eight minutes.
Groton-Dunstable upper their defensive intensity a notch in the second quarter, forcing nine North Middlesex turnovers, which fueled their transition game and allowed them to pick up some easy baskets.
With five minutes remaining in the first half, North Middlesex's Kim Morgan scored on a drive to make it 18-11, but Groton-Dunstable spurted over the remainder of the quarter to build their comfortable 18-point halftime lead. Pelletier was solid in the run, draining a 3-pointer and adding an assist on Falco's fast break lay-up. Moody chipped in with three free throws, while Rachel McCarron added a lay-up.
Morgan, a freshman, provided a lift off the bench for the Lady Pats in the first half with five points, including a 3-pointer.
"Heather is just relentless and is able to take charge when we need it," said Groton-Dunstable coach Mark Hennelly. "She is one of the toughest kids to play for me at Groton-Dunstable. Kasey did an excellent job of distributing the ball, and Kat does all the little things that make a difference."
The lead remained between 13 and 16 points throughout the third quarter. North Middlesex started quickly with a fast break lay-up by Ally Watkins and a drive by Brittney Nelson, who led the Lady Pats with 11 points to go along with three rebounds and two steals.
Groton-Dunstable rebuilt the lead to 16 when Meijer hauled down an offensive rebound and converted, but Nelson's strong drive drew North Middlesex to within 38-25 late in the quarter, before Kasey Pelletier capped the scoring in the quarter with a drive to send the Lady Crusaders to the fourth quarter with a 40-25 advantage.
The Lady Pats didn't go away and started the final quarter strongly when Nelson picked up a conventional 3-point play, and Morgan converted a steal into a lay-up to make it 40-30 with 6:44 remaining.
At the midway point of the quarter, Nelson's drive sliced the lead to nine, but Moody stepped up to put the game out of reach, draining a 3-pointer and adding a pair of free throws to make it 47-33.
North Middlesex battled to the final whistle, twice cutting the lead to nine.
"I'm glad we didn't fold after the first half," said Murphy. "We played a good second half. We didn't turn the ball over, we made some shots and we played better defense. Brittney played with a passion and fire at both ends of the court in the second half, and Kim played very well off the bench. We are still really young and these girls are going to continue to get better."
Pelletier did a nice job of running the offense and finished with 10 points and three rebounds and she showcased her post-up ability. Meijer (10 rebounds) and Anna Towle (four rebounds) each scored seven points while Falco added four points, 10 rebounds and two steals.
Morgan was impressive for the Lady Pats with seven points while Ally Watkins added six points and eight rebounds. Sharp (seven rebounds), Jenn Kirk (four rebounds) and Lynch each chipped in with four points.
Groton-Dunstable improved to 15-5 with the win and will now await the pairings for the Central Mass. Division 2 Tournament.

With Helsinki's Slush having grown into a behemoth of a startup conference, Finland now has a reputation as a hub for high-tech startups and their financial backers. With great education and a pool of engineering skills still bubbling after closing of Nokia's previous chapter in mobile, Finland produces a number of interesting tech startups as well.
We thought we'd take a look around and list some of the most interesting companies that we'd love to see succeed in the coming year.
Paptic raises the bar on materials by making packaging and bags less terrible than the current, ocean-polluting crop of plastic bags. We hope to see Paptic put Finnish paper knowhow to the test by producing bags strong enough to replace basic plastics. Chances are these guys will be taking over the world of retail with their 70% biodegradable hybrid material that can be recycled as cardboard.
Imagine a future where travel and commutes just happen through a service with an app. Need bus tickets for a place you're visiting? Sure. Need unlimited public transit and taxi access in your hometown? Done. Throw in car rentals? No problem, as long as you pay a monthly fee. That's Whim from MaaS Global.
This new concept, developed at Aalto University, has reached a trial stage in Helsinki now and is set for a limited trial in Great Britain soon. The idea is to cover all kinds of needs for mobility, hence Mobility as a Service. That's up to and including car ownership in suburban settings where public transit exists but may be far from perfect.
With the price of monthly plans ranging from zero/pay as you go for single use, to hundreds of Euros, the Whim is ambitious about offering value for money. But that shouldn't be impossible, since one pretty certain global megatrend is that of urbanization in forms that leave little room for Henry Ford-style possession of cars as personal property.
Soilscout is a major example of how the internet of things has the potential to change all industrial production and logistics chains. No, this isn't a coffee machine with an app, or a home plant pot that talks to Twitter. Soilscout helps optimize irrigation by making moisture, temperature and salinity sensors, which are buried underground and provide real time feedback and analysis.
If we're going to find a way to be able to waste water on football fields and other fun things in the future, this might be it. Not to mention the potential agricultural significance of making the environment truly quantifiable.
With battery technology being in the news recently with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, many of us have been asking ourselves just where the electronics industry is on the scale of pushing its luck with potentially combustible components. ASMO Solutions takes extreme measures to put our minds at ease with a special, high quality universal phone charger.
In addition to making sure no power is consumed when idle, the ASMO charger boasts extraordinary good build quality and design. We're sure this is a niche product, but the niche is pretty huge. Taking extreme engineering measures to remove unknowns and reliability problems from the loop must have a practical use in settings where fire would be extremely undesirable.
Thingsee appears like a potential Lego of the internet of things. The company carries a line of durable wireless sensors that can be attached to any number of things and report back to the mothership. So far, the family includes capabilities for location, impact & acceleration, speed, temperature, humidity, air pressure and ambient light.
Use cases? Well we like this example from Thingsees website: If a cargo container is shaken, alert via SMS. The potential use for this is all over the map.
Being scared of the dark is a perfectly reasonable human instinct. Light is a sign of civilization, urbanization, not having wolves wander the streets and not tripping over while you go the bathroom at night.
Light makes us feel safe, especially when we're little. That's where Leeluu steps in.
So, how about plush toys that function as night lights to potentially save mommy and daddy from a few complaints of monsters under the bed? Leeluu comes with dimmable brightness, adjustable by tapping the creature on its back. We just love this idea.
How about AirBnb for spaces you can rent to host events? How about making a commercial space under your control generate more revenue, by becoming easily findable for people with the right criteria?
Well, that's Venuu. It's in use around Finland, and hopefully soon, all over the world.
Mobile phones are popular for games, so let's use a game analogy to explain what Eximap does. Games are often built and monetized on ready made platforms, like the Unity 3D Engine, or the video ad network from the same company's Helsinki office. Game engines have their characteristics and can be recognizable for game fans.
But what if you take an idea similar to a game engine and apply it to a field where there is an emerging need to quickly build apps, without reinventing the wheel all the time? Eximap's AutoMopus takes this idea and runs wild with it in the automotive services sector.
After all, every new car is soon going to be partially controllable by an app. As this happens, everything car related without an app is going to look ancient. Yet, software is pretty expensive to develop.
The AutoMopus platform can access things such as vehicle register databases, info about service/gas stations and gas prices. Other capabilities include the magic of importing vehicle and customer information from customer data bases to target advertising, based on service history and car model.
So, in a few years, your phone might have a few apps built on industry-specific platforms like AutoMopus, much like the engines games already share.
Mobile game development is based on testing new ideas, trying to grow a user base quickly to try out ideas. However: app and ad platforms often take 1-2 months to release earned revenues, putting growth on hold when it's vital to scale quickly.
Pollen removes this strain by allowing you quick, early access to your capital, which you can then transfer into ad spend. In short, you wont have to wait to start growing your app – genius!
To quote someone who's made a lot of money in tech, software is indeed eating the world. That means more and more of our daily lives are controlled by computers and the code running on them. And we all have experienced quality problems with software, in one way or another.
Usetrace comes into play at a department in this sausage factory that relatively few people know about. That's testing. Yes, believe it or not, professionally produced software is tested intensively.
Part of making testing efficient is automation, and Usetrace offers a system for simulating user interaction automatically. More specifically, they solve this problem in a way that that's suitable for modern, "agile" methods of software development, where changes happen very frequently.
Be sure to check out the Usertrace's magic sauce, and you might learn a little bit about how software is made.
Twenty years ago, video was clunky and expensive to record. Editing was even worse in terms of hardware. And then there was the small detail of having to be on a TV network in order to expand your audience beyond friends, family or art school.
Just ten years ago, video remained hard to distribute over the internet. That's why Youtube was such a hit by making video publishing accessible to anyone.
These days, your smartphone might run social media apps that produce throwaway video for your friends or fans, at no cost. Even if you're not into Snapchat, you're likely to see loads of videos on Facebook alone.
So, with the commoditization of video comes the pressure for professional media companies to be even more creative and efficient in how to use their strengths to their advantage.
Professional media companies still carry some aces up their sleeves: huge media asset archives, sometimes spanning decades.
Enter the Valossa machine learning video engine. Valossa can help video providers gain a better understanding of their own libraries by recognizing objects and assigning keywords. Then add voice search, making streaming libraries more browsable. These tools save time and create new opportunities such as helping content editors dig up stuff from the archives when it becomes relevant.
Again, video is everywhere now. It's redefining how people talk to each other and the ways attention is spent on social media. As we know, the Facebook app can feel a lot like daytime TV now.
Meaning: video is the new hot thing on everything from social media, customer newsletters and learning platforms. With this comes the demand for publishers and advertisers to efficiently make video ads.
However, video editing can be extremely time consuming and tedious. Few of us are even super good at video, and quite frankly, software for making videos can be less than a joy to use. We're not even talking about having your laptop fans screaming all the time.
Vau makes the impossible possible by taking templates for personalized greetings, product ads tools for live events. Combine this with customer databases, product catalogs and pricing strategies and live video feeds. Magic happens and the right people receive fresh, relevant and personalized video at just the right time.
Collecting info on business processes used to require paper forms everywhere. With Poimapper's platform, companies can build data collection experiences that are relevant for employees and potentially, customers.
With all the data collected in a sane fashion, Poimapper promises easy and instant analysis. Poimapper transforms 'TPS reports' into a few taps on a screen rather than something dreaded to do every week, in the best case, in clunky web forms on a PC.
Liid is another app that makes massive data collection into much less of a chore. Their mobile app can talk to existing CRM systems by logging customer calls. It also handles adding notes with text to speech and getting and mining treasure troves of contact info stored in photos of business cards.
Commerce is all about sales, so we're glad to see Liid taking this profession and making the daily work routine more focused on getting those numbers up.
Literally all of us are constant consumers of all kinds of infrastructure, like roads and rails. That should make evident the value in having everyone from planners to builders be in touch with the same information. Historically, and even today, this tends not to be the case.
Infrakit takes on the existing idea of Building Information Modeling, the principle of making digital blueprints smarter with all kinds of data. The company boasts the capability to make information available to everyone involved with a project, in sync and with clear lines of communications.
The company says everyone will be doing this in the 2020s. So we don't find it hard to see the competitive advantage of jumping on this trend ASAP.
Music is wonderful. It mends our souls. It can transform and hypnotize us, especially if we're playing it ourselves.
Sadly, instruments, like the guitar, require skills that are nothing short of monstrously time consuming to learn. Especially in a saturated media and entertainment landscape that offers so many avenues of instant gratification.
So, Musopia hopes to put existing guitars into more frequent use. Their Fourchords app aims to help would-be guitarists by teaching simplified chords interactively with a rich library of songs, lyrics included.
Musopia even hopes to make the learning process an integral part of selling instruments, by offering branded versions of their guitar and ukulele software to instrument manufacturers. If this can help customers not give up on the instrument they've acquired, the world will know more music.
The only bad thing about Musopia we can think of: Fourchords might spawn hordes of dudes carrying guitars everywhere. That is, the type of person who plays Radiohead covers to anyone who will listen politely. Please don't be that guy.
What's better than a startup that's already succeeding? Well, world peace maybe, but the brightest minds at renowned software consulting company Affecto created the next best thing. Namely, spin-off company Weave, under their already profitable and successful parent.
Weave promises to be the holy grail of software consulting: a lean, powerful team that can tackle new products with the latest technologies with the most agility. The Weave crowd is already battle tested in combining the latest, rapid development software technologies.
These new and shiny things include tools like containers, which already are in heavy use in their major projects, like Yle Areena. Areena is the online streaming platform of the Finnish national public service broadcaster.
As you're reading this, Weave is busy developing product after product: business software and online services that actually look like 2017.
