Dafeng Yinmore Sugar reaches full capacity
International cooperation is key to success in the construction of China's most cutting-edge sugar factory
China's population of more than 1.4 billion consumed 16.2 million tonnes of sugar in 2020. The country's urbanisation has changed the younger generation's eating habits, including a rapid rise in sugar consumption. For 2030 this is forecast to grow even further to 18.6m tonnes. The new Dafeng Yinmore Sugar refinery built together with BMA plays an important part in meeting this demand.
Refinery technology from BMA for China
To increase the output of refined sugar has required restructuring of the industry. Dafeng Yinmore Sugar, a subsidiary of China Bright Food Group based in the Yangtze River Delta, is a pioneer in this respect, having seized the strategic opportunity to build China's most cutting-edge sugar factory. For BMA, this is a new chapter of a success story that has seen many orders of refinery technology from China. Its Guangxi region, for instance, has been the location of a number of BMA projects.
Maximum throughput, minimum operating costs
In 2014, Bright Food Group started on the development of a comprehensive sugar strategy. The ambitious goal was to build an unmatched refinery in China. This would not be a standard plant, but a complex with maximum throughput and minimum operating costs. The customer was looking for a partner to help bring this remarkable plan to life and, following close scrutiny of the bids and an assessment of the references, BMA won the contract. Once the contract for engineering had been signed, in April 2014, BMA prepared a basic concept in close collaboration with the customer. This included roughly outlining a customer-specific technological infrastructure, defining key performance indicators, and preparing a preliminary process flow diagram and balances. The next step was basic engineering, which involved specifying the details of BMA's concepts: mass and heat balances, P&ID, and equipment lists. During the detailed engineering stage and the piping engineering, all details came together in a sophisticated 3D model. This would facilitate the final implementation of the general layout plan, on-site construction, and the routing of the pipes for the entire sugar house.
Collaboration between BMA and China Haisum
The greenfield development of a cutting-edge 4,000 t/d refinery is a highly complex project, which is why the customer commissioned China Haisum as his EPC contractor for the whole plant. The close collaboration between BMA and Haisum was the key to success – and now serves BMA as a blueprint for working with local businesses in China. Since both national and international collaboration are essential in such a project, BMA China played a key role from start to finish. To ensure high-quality end products, international partners for sugar conditioning and packing also joined the team as subcontractors. If you consider engineering the heart of a plant, its machinery and equipment are the skeleton and muscles. They go together perfectly when they come from a single source: BMA. The contract for supply of machinery and equipment was signed in 2016. From raw sugar melting to drying and cooling, the state-of-the-art plants from BMA – such as its FFE, VKT, DVK, OVC, centrifugals, drum dryers, or fluidised-bed coolers – produce brilliant sugar (excellent quality) and a brilliant mood at the customer's (energy efficiency).
Digital commissioning support
Commissioning of Dafeng Yinmore Sugar had been planned in two stages – with the second scheduled for the extraordinary year that was 2020. Across the globe, most sugar projects were halted or delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully we have digital technologies – and have gained plenty of experience with digitalisation in recent years. And so, November 2020 marked a first for BMA: a performance run with remote support – at Dafeng Yinmore Sugar! In a non-stop 72-hour run, outstanding benchmarks were achieved:
• 4,004 t/d output
• 0.654 t steam/t sugar steam consumption
• 97.98 % sugar yield
And while this success for BMA with China's largest and most cutting-edge refinery may be the end of one chapter, a new one is bound to start soon. With BMA's Passion for Progress and our global networks, nothing can stop a further collaboration.

Q: Import IsThereAnyDeal waitlist to Google sheets I'm trying to import my full wishlist from IsThereAnyDeal.com be default it will only load 75 results until you scroll down, so I feel i may need to start working with their API.
I've attempted using links like this as an example, however it searches the list of games on the site. https://api.isthereanydeal.com/v02/search/search/?key=&q=hades
I'm looking to do this automatically to avoid manually exporting this periodically
For reference, here's the current waitlist and what I expect I'll be importing from https://isthereanydeal.com/u/01bc9/waitlist/

A: I believe your goal and your current situation as follows.

*

*From your provided official document, I thought that you might use the method of "Waitlist" in "Waitlist".

*When I saw the sample curl command, it is as follows.
  curl --include \
  'https://api.isthereanydeal.com/v01/user/wait/all/?access_token=###'

*And, the sample response is as follows.
  {
    "data": {
      "falloutnewvegas": {
        "title": "Fallout: New Vegas"
      },
      "racesun": {
        "title": "Race the Sun"
      },
      "vessel": {
        "title": "Vessel"
      }
    }
  }

*You want to achieve above request using Google Apps Script.

*And, you have already got the valid access token for using the API.
If my understanding is correct, when above curl command is converted to Google Apps Script, it becomes as follows.
Sample script:
Please copy and paste the following script to the script editor of Spreadsheet and save it. And, please set the variables of accessToken and sheetName, and run the function.
function myFunction() {
  const accessToken = "###"; // Please set your access token.
  const sheetName = "Sheet1";  // Please set the sheet name.

  // Retrieve the values from API.
  const url = "https://api.isthereanydeal.com/v01/user/wait/all/?access_token=" + accessToken;
  const res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
  console.log(res.getContentText()) // You can confirm the response value at the log.
  const obj = JSON.parse(res.getContentText());

  // Put the retrieved values to Spreadsheet.
  const values = Object.entries(obj.data).map(([k, {title}]) => [k, title]);
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(sheetName);
  sheet.getRange(1, 1, values.length, values[0].length).setValues(values);
}

*

*If an error occurs for the access token and the access token includes the specific characters, please modify const url = "https://api.isthereanydeal.com/v01/user/wait/all/?access_token=" + accessToken; to const url = "https://api.isthereanydeal.com/v01/user/wait/all/?access_token=" + encodeURIComponent(accessToken);
Note:

*

*In this sample script, it supposes that your access token can be used for the API. Please be careful this.

*Unfortunately, from your question, I couldn't find the output situation you expect. But I understood that you want to put the retrieved values to the Spreadsheet. So in this sample script, the key and the title of the value are put to the Spreadsheet. When you want to change the format, please modify above script.

*When I saw the official document you provided, it says Get list of games that the user has in Waitlist.. But I couldn't find the document about the number of response values. So I'm not sure about the maximum number of response values for this method.

References:

Bob has assisted my family in two home purchases, one home sale and one refinance. Throughout all of our dealings with Bob, we have been very impressed with his professionalism, willingness to explain things in great detail (sometimes multiple times), and his incredible level of responsiveness. Our latest interactions included the sale of our previous home and the purchase of a new one. I contacted Bob in September of 2013 about listing my home, and he was kind enough to come to the house, walk through it and make a detailed list of things that needed to be improved or fixed in order to get the most money out of the house. We also gave him an extensive list of features we wanted out of our new home. Throughout the next several months, I contacted Bob several times a month with inquiries about homes I had found online or with questions regarding financing options and a variety of types of properties to purchase. Regardless of the time that I sent Bob a text with a question or the number of times I requested the same answers, I always received a polite, informative and professional response within a few hours at the most. My calls and emails also received prompt, quality responses. Once my home was ready to list, Bob provided us with expert advice on how to stage and price our home for a quick sale for the most money possible. When it came to negotiating the sale of our home, we were impressed with Bob's ability to handle multiple offers ethically and professionally, and we feel that we received a fair and favorable price. On the day that I found our dream house online, I called Bob and he was ready to show it to us within the hour. We walked through the house for over an hour and he provided guidance on how much below the asking price that we should offer rather than trying to get us to up our price in order to increase his commissions. As the home was bank owned, it was to be sold "As Is". Despite this, Bob was able to negotiate that the Bank would fix the septic system prior to closing rather than just giving us money back at closing to have it fixed ourselves. As the septic fix cost more than the initial estimate, this negotiation move saved us quite a bit of money and hassle in the long run. Both homes closed on time and at budget, and we could not be happier with the results.
I would consider myself to be a demanding client that is difficult to please, but overall, both my husband and I were extremely happy with our interactions with Bob Hawk and would definitely utilize his services again and recommend him to friends and family.
Bob has been incredibly professional in my transactions with him. He is punctual, communicates well, and gives worthwhile advice. I always feel that he is looking out for my best interests and not just trying to collect a commission check. He seems to be very knowledgeable in all phases of negotiations and contract jargon. I highly recommend Bob.
An amazing service professional! We had a little bit of a convoluted situation with 3 owners of 1 house. Bob completed the sale in a timely manner and with precise execution. Bob will be handling all of my real estate transactions from now on.
Bob is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and made buying my home a great experience! I highly recommend Bob Hawk and will definitely be calling him for all of my future needs.
Bob was instrumental in the purchase of our new home! He listened to our needs and because of his knowledge of the area was able to show us several homes that we liked! He negotiated a price that fit our budget, and was always in communication with us through the whole process. I would highly recommend Bob!!
I met Bob at an open house a couple weeks ago and was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the home & the area. I was working with another agent and decided to switch to Bob and have not been disappointed. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.
Bob is incredible. As a first-time home-buyer in the craziest housing marketing in the country, Bob was able to clearly explain how the entire process worked and continually went out searching for places to fit my limited budget. He has great experience not only in the market, but also in how the actually finances work behind the scenes. This leads to a better selection of properties for you. Don't look any further. Bob is your man!
We first listed our home with another agent in October of 2014. It sat on the market, overpriced, til December, when we pulled it from market and knew we needed a better realtor. We'd met Bob Hawk at an open house where he was the selling agent. He was warm, communicative, intelligent, and not invasive. He listed our home in January of 2015. He had great guidance in staging our home, and hired an amazing photographer that captured incredible views and details of our home. We had a great deal of activity right off the bat, and a few offers rolled in within a very small time frame. Bob's pricing was informed, calculated, and right on.
After accepting an offer from a family that was represented by a very new realtor, Bob was instrumental in keeping both parties on the same page, and all working toward the end goal of closing. Just days before our projected closing date, our buyers had to delay 2 to 4 weeks due to a rejected tax form they needed. Bob kept us informed, and reassured. He was in constant contact with the buyers realtor, and their lendor as well. This became more than a full-time job for Bob--as our buyer's lendors seemed often to be giving a run-around.
On the final day of the 4 week mark of that first extension, we were told by our buyers lendors that we should be closing any moment. Turns out their document was rejected yet again. 3 months to the day from the original acceptance of their offer, we did finally close. We have 2 small children , under 2. This was a very challeging time--emotionally, mentally, physically. But Bob truly made it ok. He worked so hard for us. Kept us positive, sane, and informed. He was aggressive in his encouragement to our buyers and their lendors in closing the sale, while maintaining a great deal of diplomacy.
While he was putting in great efforts into the closing of our home, he was having to negotiate extensions with the builders of the home we were trying to buy. He had to work incredibly hard in locking down those extensions, as the builders were very motivated to close. He got us into our dream home, in our dream neighborhood, closing the same day our former home closed. He did this by creating solid professional relationships, always flawlessly communicating, and going heads and shoulders above what any realtor would deem necessary. We can't speak his praises enough--and are beyond grateful for his kindness, work ethic, and outstanding knowledge and expertise in real estate, negotiations and in home lending. We miss his daily calls (but not so much, cause it means we closed our house, and bought our dream one-- sorry Bob! :) ) and are so fortunate to have gotten him as our realtor! We will always be grateful for his service, and wish so much continued success for him going forward.
Bob is great. He is very knowledgeable and does his homework before going to look at listings. He wasn't pushy and was very patient with us when we were looking for the perfect house. When we found THE house, he took us directly to his office to get the offer ready so we could put it in as soon as the open house was over. There was one other offer on the house, but Bob was able to negotiate and convince the sellers that we were the right buyers for them.
Bob also listed our condo. He told us exactly what he needed to do to stage it to sell and it worked. The condo was listed on a Friday morning and it sold that evening for our asking price.
We loved working with Bob and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Bob helped us sell our home last year and he's hands down the best agent we have worked with in our 5+ home transactions. He got us top dollar and he was extremely responsive to all of out needs and demands. Highly recommend you use Bob for all your real estate needs you won't be disappointed.
Bob knows the process and how to get things done. We've bought and sold multiple homes through Bob and have referred him to friends and family. He picks up the phone and figures out how to get our deals done-on both sides of the process- and we've never been disappointed!
Bob has been very helpful and patient with our house hunting process , approximately 1.5 years:) We had very specific criterias and his flexibility makes our home buying experience very pleasant. When we were looking to buy, houses in the area we were interested in went like hot cakes. We have many offers put in and were constantly outbidded. He was always there to encourage us on. We got to know him personally and it helps to feel like we are working with a family member who always have our backs. His expertise, advise and negotiating skills helped us get our current home at the price we wanted to pay. Thank you for a great experience and your patience. I would highly recommend Bob in a heart beat.
Bob helped locate the perfect home for us when we moved to Everett. His responsiveness was tremendous and he continued to work with us until we were happy. His knowledge of all sides of the transaction was impressive. He directed us to a great mortgage broker, helped us to understand next steps and was present through close. I couldn't recommend him more highly!
Bob is the buyer agent of our current house. He showed us many houses in the course of 1.5 years during our hunt. Being picky, we turned down many houses but Bob was always accommodating and patience with us. Bob was quick to respond, he usually showed us the house first day it came on market. He is also knowledgeable in every step of the buying process. He had made the entire purchasing process easy. I will consult Bob again in future real estate matters.
Bob has helped me sell a house and with purchases on 2 homes. He is very professional, dependable and prompt. Always willing to go the extra mile and never made me feel I was inconveniencing him, even if it was a last minute appointment I'd call him for. He is quite knowledgable on pricing and contracts as well.
Bob helped me in my most recent home sale (2009), and in the purchase of my current home. I have referred him to two others who also used his services to buy their current homes. Bob worked hard to put on a very successful open house and to showcase our property in the local market. He patiently worked through a ton of listings with me until we found the right match for me. I plan to move in the next year or so, and will use Bob's services in that transaction also.
Bob helped my husband and I both sell our home and find our current home. He was nothing short of awesome. From day one Bob's professionalism guided us through both transactions. His knowledge of the selling / buying process was excellent and his negotiation skills in closing both deals saved us a lot of money. I would highly recommend Bob (and do) to anyone looking to buy / sell real estate.
Having worked with several agents over the last few years, I can attest to the level of quality and attention Bob paid to my family and I.
My wife is very particular and wanted to find the perfect home. That meant Bob was required to show us several homes. He was beyond accommodating in meeting us at all hours and giving us his candid feedback on what we could do with each home we saw.
When we had finally made our decision, Bob helped us get the price we wanted. I am looking forward to working with Bob again.
Bob did an amazing job helping us sell our previous home and negotiate for our current home! In particular, we appreciated his patience and guidance as we went through multiple rounds of negotiations with both buyers and the sellers.
Working with Bob was like working with family. It went smoothly, he was always available, he made the process super-easy for us, and we trusted him completely to have our best interests at heart.

Q: Is it possible to map a process into memory without mapping the kernel? The OSDev wiki says that:

It is traditional and generally good to have your kernel mapped in every user process

Why is that though? Can't the process be mapped to memory solely? What are the advantages of mapping the kernel and wouldn't that be a waste of space?
Also, is it possible to access the kernel space from the user space and why would I do that?

A:
It is traditional and generally good to have your kernel mapped in every user process

So when you make a system call, the kernel doesn't have to change the page tables to access it's own memory.  Having all physical memory mapped all the time makes it cheaper for a read system call to copy stuff from anywhere in the pagecache, for example.
The GDT and IDT base addresses are virtual (lidt / lgdt) so interrupt handling requires that at least the page containing the IDT, and the interrupt-handler code it points to, are mapped while user-space is executing.
But as mitigation for Meltdown on Intel CPUs where user-space speculative reads can bypass the user/supervisor page-table permission bit, Linux does actually unmap most of the kernel while user-space executes.  It needs to keep a "trampoline" mapped that swaps page tables to remap the kernel proper before jumping to the regular entry points, so interrupt handlers and system calls can work.

is it possible to access the kernel space from the user space and why would I do that?

Usually the kernel would disable this.  Page table entries have a user/supervisor bit which controls whether it can be used when not in kernel mode (i.e. ring 3, I think).  The kernel can thus leave its memory mapped while still protecting it from read/write by user-space.  (See also this for a diagram of nesting of page directories.)
CPUs have a performance feature to support this use-case: there's a "global" bit in each PTE that (if set) means the CPU can keep it cached in the TLB even when CR3 changes (i.e. across context switches, when the kernel installs a new page table).  The kernel sets this for the kernel mappings that it includes in every process.
And BTW, there's probably only one physical copy of the tables for those kernel mappings, with the top-level Page Map Level 4 Table (PML4) for each different tree of user-space page tables simply pointing to the same kernel PDPTE structures (most/all of which are actually 1GiB hugepage mappings, rather than pointers to further levels of entries).  See the diagram linked above.

There is actually a small amount of memory that the kernel allows user-space to read (and execute):  The kernel maps a few 4k pages called the VDSO area into the address space of every process (at the very top of virtual memory).
For a few simple but common system calls like gettimeofday() and getpid(), user-space can call functions in these pages (which for example run rdtsc and scale the result by constants exported by the kernel) instead of using syscall to enter kernel mode and do the same thing there.  This saves maybe 50 to 100 clock cycles for a round-trip to kernel mode on a modern x86 CPU, and more from not needing all the save/restore of stuff inside the kernel before dispatching to the right system call.

Is it possible to map a process into memory without mapping the kernel?

With a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, the entire 4GiB virtual address space is available for user-space.  (Except for 3 or so 4k VDSO pages.)
Otherwise (when user-space virtual addresses are as wide as kernel-space virtual addresses) Linux uses the upper half for kernel mapping of all physical memory (with 1G hugepages on x86).
i386 Linux has a config options to make the split 1:3, IIRC, further cramping the kernel but allowing more virtual address space for user-space processes.  IDK if this is common for 32-bit kernels on other architectures, or only x86.

wouldn't that be a waste of space?

It takes up some virtual address space, but you're supposed to have more of that than you do physical memory.  If you don't, you have to pay the speed cost of remapping memory more often.
This is why we have x86-64, so virtual address space is huge.  48 bits is 256 TiB, so half of that is 128 TiB of address space.  Future CPUs could implement hardware support for wider virtual addresses if it becomes necessary / useful.  (The page table format supports up to 52 bit physical addresses.).  Maybe this will become more of an issue with non-volatile DIMMs providing memory-mapped storage with higher density than DRAM, and a reason to use a lot of both kinds of address space.
If you need more than 2GiB of virtual address space in a single process, use a 64-bit system.  (Or if you need a zillion processes / threads, use a 64-bit kernel at least.  A 32-bit kernel with PAE runs into memory-allocation problems sometimes.  See some https://serverfault.com/ questions.)
Someone reposted on their blog some of Linus Torvalds' comments about PAE (Physical Address Extensions) which allows having more than 4GB of physical memory on a 32-bit-only x86 system.  Summary: yuck, even with a good kernel-side implementation, it's definitely slower than a 64-bit kernel.  Except with more amusing insults at the Intel engineers who thought it would be a good idea and solve the problem for 32-bit OSes.

Faith Formation Develops Renewal Best Practices
Dan Carney
ACA News No Comments
The 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) "Renewed in Faith, Hope and Charity," assists in responding to the challenges of the Fourth Diocesan Synod. The synod listened to the voices of the faithful in the Diocese of Bridgeport, recognized the need to strengthen and support family life, to create energetic parish outreach to engage youth and to renew the ministry of faith formation throughout the diocese.
These goals are being actively pursued through the restructured Office of Faith Formation, supported by donations to the ACA. "Renewing the ministry of faith
formation throughout our diocese was one of the global challenges of the synod," Bishop Frank J. Caggiano said in announcing the new appointments for Faith Formation. "Leading each person to a deepening relationship with the Lord Jesus in and through his Church begins with a clear, authentic teaching of our Catholic faith."
The members of the Faith Formation Office have all been named to the Catechetical Task Force to explore a new generation of faith formation approaches. Evan Psencik is coordinator of Youth and Young Adult Formation, Rose Talbot-Babey manages the area of Childhood Formation and Kim Quatela is in charge of Family Formation.
"I spend a lot of my time going out, meeting with youth ministers in their parishes and asking, 'What is it you need?'" said Psencik. "They want training, they want formation. They want to meet together and explore ways to build up their youth groups."
In addition to his meetings at parishes, Psencik is involved in the formation of the Catholic Service Corps, enabling youth to express their faith in action, and in the spiritual preparation of the 250 young pilgrims headed for World Youth Day.
"Most of them are encountering the larger Church for the first time," he noted. "World Youth Day is just the beginning of their faith journey. The hope is that it will light a fire of faith in teens, so that they will want to be more involved when they come home. That can start a ripple effect, inspiring their friends and classmates to learn more about their faith."
Rose Talbot-Babey has also spent a large portion of her time in the field, meeting one-on-one with DREs, CREs, and pastors. She is also interfacing with Helen
Burland, executive director of St. Catherine Special Needs Center in Fairfield, working to connect those services to parishes with special needs children in their religious education programs.
"As a former DRE myself, I know that the central question for our catechetical programs is 'Are we producing real disciples of Christ in our parish religious education and Catholic school classes?'" Talbot-Babey said. "Parishes and schools are all doing wonderful things, but all doing different things. The ACA helps support initiatives to bring people together, including catechetical days, professional days and sharing of best practices."
Kim Quatella, coordinator of Family Formation, is working on a number of programs to assist and enrich families. The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) process had more than 200 catechumens and candidates from 32 parishes join in the Rite of Election on February 14. Quatella is meeting now with volunteer couples for the renewed Marriage Preparation days, which will be held monthly beginning March 19. "We have a lot of ministries that haven't been tapped into yet—for singles, for separated and divorced Catholics, for family to grow in faith together, for personal renewal of faith," she said.
Through the Annual Catholic Appeal, Catholics at every stage of life can share in the energy and realistic optimism facilitated by the Office of Faith Formation. "There is so much hope in these ministries," said Quatella. "Where a lot of people see darkness in our culture, the Church should see opportunity and growth. I see a lot of hope for enrichment and renewal."

Q: Refreshing a standard .net 2.0 grid / XMLsource I have a Standard .net 2.0 data grid which uses a XMLDatasource. The datasource is set dynamically by passing in XML string to the "Data" property of the XMLdatasource on a button click event.
This workd fine the first time around but not on subsequent button clicks.
i.e. eventhough the xml passed in changes the grid only diplays the initial output.
Is there something i need to do in order to make sure the grid refreshes to show the correct values??
current code
aspx grid code
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1"
          Runat="server"
          DataSourceID="XmlDataSource5"
          AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True"
          style="width:100%; height:100%;"
          AutoGenerateSelectButton="True"
          EnableViewState="False">
    <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="Red" />
    <Columns>
       <asp:BoundField DataField="TYPE" HeaderText="TYPE" SortExpression="TYPE" />
       <asp:BoundField DataField="DESCRIPTION" HeaderText="DESCRIPTION" SortExpression="DESCRIPTION" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

vb.net code
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click

    XmlDataSource5.Data = _testLib.GetGridXML(_Num)
    GridView1.DataBind()
End Sub

where _testLib.GetGridXML is a function that returns an XML string based on the _Num passed in.

A: You need to call DataBind on the grid to re-bind it to the updated values in the datasource

A: The problem was to do with the setup of the datasource itself and not the Gridview!
In order to make it refresh i needed to set the "EnableCaching" property in the XMLDatasource to "False" (it is set to "True" as default).
The grid now refreshes fine even without calling the Gridview.DataBind method.
Thanks for your time and help Macros!


Mystery Reviewer (MR), how does the Vine program work, and how did you get into it?
MR: Many years ago I received an email invite from Amazon about the Vine program. I am not sure how I was selected other than I suspect that since I had written a few reviews, maybe they saw something there they liked. When I first joined the program, on the third Thursday of every month at 12:00pm PT, Amazon would issue a "newsletter" that had a list of items that could be chosen. It was first-come, first-served and a complete free-for-all. You could usually pick two or three items at most for review. Then there was no deadline for the reviews.
Recently, the program has changed, eliminating the monthly newsletter. Instead, your account has a queue of items that appear at random without notice. You can have up to five items unreviewed ("checked out" in Amazon terms) and you have 30 days to complete the review. If you don't complete the review within 30 days, no matter how many items you have checked out, you cannot choose anymore. The items don't seem to be targeted in any particular way that anyone can figure out. One new aspect to the program was that in the past, the items were still the property of Amazon or whoever provided the sample. Vine members were not allowed to transfer or sell any of the items and were allowed to just dispose of them after six months. It seems the IRS wasn't happy with this – so now after six months, ownership transfers to the Viner and Amazon will be sending all members a 1099. Now each item has an "estimated tax value" associated with it. No one knows what the true value will end up being.
Lynne: Have you ever reviewed things that weren't on your list?
MR: I still review products that I buy myself, and I've reviewed products on rare occasion that I've been sent. I get a ton of emails, mostly from Chinese sellers in Amazon's marketplace, asking for reviews. I might accept 1 out of 100. Most of them seem to be thinly veiled sales pitches, like $1 discount for a review!
Lynne: Imagine that. So what's the best way to approach a reviewer at Amazon to ask about reviewing their product?
MR: Your best bet would be to email the reviewer offering to send the product for free. I think that feels like the most honest approach, though some reviewers might think it could be a phishing scam to send who knows what. Second, and probably what I see most, are 100% off coupon offers. Sellers want to see that "Verified Purchase" label with reviews. The way not to do it is what I see 99% of the time: a small discount in return for a review. To me, this just seems like they're trying to sell the product and being scammy about it. Mostly these offers come from Chinese Amazon Marketplace sellers. The emails are horribly written. I must get 20-30 a day.
Lynne: Any other examples of bad etiquette you can think of?
MR: Very bad etiquette is sending a mass email asking for review with the whole list cc'd. Then these reply-all "take me off this list" wars happen and I end up getting hundreds of emails. It's the worst.
Lynne: I hear you. Reply-all abuse got so bad at my day job that our tech people moved the button to the opposite side of the Outlook toolbar, so people really have to think about using it. But I digress. How can authors find Vine reviewers who actually review books? Is there a list somewhere?
MR: I am not sure about that. I know there must be something somewhere scraping email addresses and making mailing lists because I seem to be on all of them. You'd probably just have to go through the top reviewers one-by-one and see what people are reviewing. Personally, I don't review books through Vine because of the deadlines. I want to read a book and enjoy it without a deadline.
Lynne: Ah, a man who reads for enjoyment. You sound like our kind of people! Thanks for stopping by, Mystery Reviewer, and I promise I won't pester you to review any of my books.
Very interesting. I've seen it suggested in several places that authors contact Vine reviewers to ask for reviews. Sounds like Mystery Reviewer doesn't review books that way, but I wonder what his thoughts are in general regarding authors contacting Amazon reviewers. I wonder if it drives them nuts (which is why I've always hesitated to go that route).
What I understand is that it is ok to contact the reviewers as long as you do so respectfully and not in a annoying way, I.e. the mass email method mentioned, etcetera etcetera.
That was the impression I got, too.
Good to know! I always wondered what that was. Thanks, Lynne.
Hi Lynn. Loved your interview with Mystery Reviewer. I'm sorry he doesn't do books. But do you know what the difference is between the Vine and Amazon Top 100 Reviewers. Nothing could be more important to a writer than getting reviewed by any of the Zons top book reviewers. It seems like an NSA secret on how to contact them. So what's a boy to do?
Hi Walter, I'm going to take this one for Lynne. There is no easy answer. You can go to the top 100 list here http://www.amazon.com/review/top-reviewers and go through them one-by-one to see what they review. Many of them do not review books, and only some of the ones who do accept submissions. You can glean the genres they like and their preferred method of contact from looking at their profiles. It is a lot of work to get to a small list who will take books for review. Best of luck to you!
Hi KS – Author Marketing Club has a scraper tool (software) that allows you to harvest contact email/web addresses of Amazon reviewers. You plug in authors who have written books like yours and find reviewers who left contact information. You can download the list as a csv file (spreadsheet). AMC membership costs about $25 per month – you would only have to join for a month to be able to compile your list of reviewers. You can harvest an unlimited number of reviewers – it depends on your patience but it's something mindless you can do while you watch tv! Book Razor offers to get you Amazon reviewers for a fee ($50 for 25 reviewers) but joining AMC for a month is better value and the tool is very easy to use.
Hi Anon, thanks for the info. I was aware that there are services doing those things, but if I was going to bother approaching anyone in the top 100, I would prefer to go through the names myself. With my reputation on the line, I wouldn't trust it to an automated tool.
I'm a decently ranked reviewer on Amazon with 250 book reviews at the present time. When I started out being a Book Reviewer in August I knew I might be inundated by requests to review books, so I set up a policy of only reviewing books which I've won through the various giveaways on the internet each day [books I'm interested in reading], and of course I also purchase books I interested in and review them. The worse thing anyone can do is to ask someone to review a book they're not interested in reading. I even posted my selection process for reviewing books, and every time I get a request from someone I sent them the link to this post; the important thing is that I didn't ignore the individual you'd sent me the request.


The large-scale Latvian EU Pre-Presidency Conference "Moving the Union forward: Involvement, Growth, Sustainability" took place in Riga on 4 December. The conference brought together more than 40 leading experts and policy makers from both- Latvia and international arena - representing 26 different countries.
In a creative and academic atmosphere professionals discussed various topics relevant to the Latvian Presidency – from the Eastern Partnership and Transatlantic Relations to the Digital Single Market and energy policy. It was a unique opportunity for Latvian policy makers and society to promote our priorities and to find out how international experts evaluate Latvia's plans shortly before the beginning of the Presidency.
Along with the positive benefits of the Presidency, experts reminded not to forget that the Presidency is not a "silver bullet" – Latvia has strong ambitions but the Presidency is an instrument, not a solution. "It is an opportunity to emphasize something but it is not a remedy for everything," experts concluded at the end of the conference.
Dr. Wolfgang Wessels, professor from the University of Cologne, also pointed out that presidencies mainly have to deal with so called "business as usual". "For example, strategy review of the Central Asia probably is not an exceptional innovation but it is necessary for moving forward," says the professor.
immediate, active work on Juncker's 300 billion investment package because this initiative has a potential to be a part of the solution to the economic stagnation in many Member States. Researchers encourage Latvia to launch the European-level programme for renovation of housing to reduce energy loss.
In the field of foreign affairs researchers suggest to create a European Global Strategy instead of primarily focusing on the neighborhood. They stress that the current geopolitical situation is evidently calling into question the basis of the EU foreign and security policy and proving that the EU ambitions to have a strategic partnership with third countries (including Russia) have not been accomplished. European foreign and security policy is not merely regional, on the contrary – the EU has to be engaged with other parts of the world and not just economically but as an effective security actor.
Taking into account the digital priority, the Latvian Presidency should bring forward clear proposals for improving cyber security at the EU level.

Today鈥檚 business owners and managers are encouraged to send an Internet fax rather than a conventional fax document. It is cheaper than faxing documents using the traditional method Texans Benardrick McKinney Jersey , which involves a fax machine along with a dedicated phone line. Internet faxing refers to sending a document facsimile online. It integrates the internet, landline and mobile phone networks as well as fax machines, if needed. It normally involves sending email to fax or receiving fax by way of e mail.
It is undoubtedly more inexpensive to send an Internet fax than to send hard-copy faxes. This present day faxing system does not require expensive equipment like bulky fax machines and additional phone lines. This means that installation charges, upkeep charges and repair charges are no longer applicable. A company does not have to invest in additional telephone lines considering that faxing takes place entirely on-line. It could use current phones and upgrade to a telephone system with Internet faxing services. This will drastically reduce phone costs simply because businesses basically need to have one phone line to get the whole system up and running. There's no need to use and pay for multiple telephone lines which are complicated and hard to configure.
Even so Texans Kevin Johnson Jersey , the question is how do you send and acquire Internet fax? The following narrates the fundamentals of sending and receiving Internet fax.

JAKARTA Texans Zach Cunningham Jersey , May 10 (Xinhua) -- Retail sales in Indonesia grew 4.2 percent in March from a year ago compared with 3.7 percent in February, a survey by the country's central bank disclosed here on Wednesday.
The sales growth in March was primarily contributed by the purchase of food items, which expanded 7.1 percent on year in the month from 5.1 percent in previous month, the bank said.
However Texans Deshaun Watson Jersey , sales of non-food items only accelerated 0.3 percent in March on the yearly basis compared with 1.8 percent in February, it said.

FUN FACT: Even before the 1925 Sellwood Bridge, vehicles could cross the river at that site by taking a ferry. The free ferry service was created in the 1880s to help make Sellwood more desirable to home buyers, and it operated for about four decades until the bridge was built.
Unlike Seattle, Portland no longer has any commuter ferries in operation. But who knows — if traffic gets too much worse, maybe the Sellwood Ferry will make a comeback.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL: TBH, the original Sellwood Bridge was a lesson in how not to build a bridge. The structure was hastily constructed in less than a year, and by the early 2000s, it had become one of the most structurally unsound bridges in the country — so bad that TriMet buses were rerouted to avoid it.
AND THE #SELLWOODBRIDGE INSTA-GRAMMY GOES TO… @weinbagel, for finding us a silver lining in last month's smoke.
