I think that one of the funniest things to come out of the whole "Trump, sports and kneeling" fiasco is his cheerful approval of NASCAR for discouraging it.
NASCAR is an acronym, so I'd capitalize it anyway, but if it weren't, I'd capitalize it anyway! Because, geez, NASCAR! What a shocker that Ricky Bobby, or his Skoal-chewin', boot-scootin', rebel flag-flyin' fans aren't that interested in violence against blacks. I wonder if NASCAR fans have any strong opinions about Affirmative Action, or immigration??!
NASCAR showing respect for the flag.
Trump is a racist. I know it,you know it and everyone outside his cultish bubble knows it.

White House Aides Are Stopping Deal With Assange Congressman Says
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/26/white-house-aides-are-stopping-deal-wi...
"I think the president's answer indicates that there is a wall around him that is being created by people who do not want to expose this fraud that there was collusion between our intelligence community and the leaders of the Democratic Party, Rohrbacher told the Daily Caller Tuesday..."
As I said a few months ago. Assange has earned his get out of jail free card by propping up Trump in the last election.
I remember when the Repugnicans wanted him executed or put in jail for life. They mistook him as a liberal.
The reality is that he's a Trump sycophant who is as despicable and loathesome as a Nigel Farage or Steve Bannon.
I wish he was wanted by another country (apparently pointing out that Sweden wants him or at least wanted him is 'ignorant') but he will soon have a safe home in the US where he'll continue to use Wikileaks as a propaganda machine for the Repuglican Party.
Assange can fuck off and die. As he deserves to.
Quoting a wacko Republican congressman on a right-wing site, I see.
We wondered why Trump was behaving like he is, but now we know: it's all about revenge
Every stance he takes is designed to unstitch a panel on the tapestry Obama so patiently created. And now, with Iran and North Korea poised to act, we're about to witness the first apocalypse out of spite

I've taken the position that I should not visit the U.S. as long as the current government is in power. However, I've been told by some of my friends, as well as progressive Americans I have met, that this is the wrong tactic and that I should not boycott those parts of the States that did not support the Republicans. Just wondering what babblers thought. To boycott or not to boycott: that is the question.
voice of the damned
I think a boycott only makes sense if there is an organized effort underway to CHANGE A PARTICULAR POLICY. In other words, you're effectively saying to the jurisdiction "I will boycott you until you change that policy." The idea being that they will hopefully change the policy because they want you to end the boycott. Apartheid South Africa would be the classic example here.
But in the case of the current administration in the US, there's nothing you can really ask Americans to do to get rid of it and end your boycott. The next presidential election is going to be held in 2020, and there is zero chance that it is going to be moved ahead. So, there is literally nothing a boycott could do to get rid of Trump.
(Well, I suppose you could hope that Trump resigns for the good of the American economy, but this presumes that a) the boycott is massive enough to damage the economy, and b) Trump cares about what happens to anyone besides him, and c) Pence would be an improvement over Trump. I don't place a lot of faith in any of those propositions.)
That said, I'm not sure about your friends' argument that Blue States should be immune from any boycott, since the whole country is usually expected to bear the brunt of policies put into place by the national government, including international reactions against those policies(South Africans who voted against the National Party weren't given special exemptions to do business with the outside world, for example). And, quite frankly, I'd feel more sympathy for a left-winger living in a Red State who gets hurt by a boycott, then for a right-winger in a Blue State, if we're talking about who does and does not deserve to suffer.

The don't know the truth of it but I really hope that this not the truth because this really worries me. This article is plain scary.
"In recent days, I've spoken with a half dozen prominent Republicans and Trump advisers, and they all describe a White House in crisis as advisers struggle to contain a president that seems to be increasingly unfocused and consumed by dark moods."
I think it's hard to take some boycotts too seriously because:
a) The people "boycotting" really never bought the product or service in the first place. If you don't ever eat at McDonalds anyway, choosing to never eat at McDonalds "because X" is unlikely to "wake" them.
b) The boycott is a vague message to a business or country that "in general, we sort of don't like you". Add to that the possibility that many boycotters never will like that business or country no matter what they do or don't do, and again it's unsurprising if they don't promptly roll over.
c) The boycott just doesn't have numbers either way. There are surely more people who don't drink Coke because they don't care for it, or they don't care for soda drinks, or they just like a different soda better than there are people boycotting Coke because of "X". No company expects 100% of the population to buy their product, and they're already prepared for the possibility that you won't either.

President Trump's nominee to be the White House senior adviser for environmental policy, Kathleen Hartnett White, in 2016 described the belief in "global warming" as a "kind of paganism" for "secular elites," CNN reports.
"Hartnett White, currently a senior fellow at the conservative think tank Texas Public Policy Foundation, has long expressed skepticism about established climate science and once dismissed the idea that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, calling it 'the gas of life on this planet.'"
As head of the Council on Environmental Quality, Hartnett White would oversee environmental and energy policies across the government.

Trump Pardon Does Nothing To Make Sheriff Arpaio Less Guilty, Says Judge
In ruling, federal judge notes that Arpaio's acceptance of the pardon amounts to an admission of guilt.
A federal judge refused to erase history Thursday, stating that former Sheriff Joe Arpaio is still guilty of criminal contempt of court for defying orders to stop racially profiling Latinos—despite President Donald Trump's pardon of Arpaio in August.
The pardon did not "revise the historical facts of this case," said U.S. District Judge Susan Ritchie Bolton in her ruling.
Bolton convicted Arpaio in July for violating the constitutional rights of residents in Maricopa County, Arizona after an earlier order barred him from doing so. Arpaio, a loyal Trump supporter, was notorious for detaining Latinos without any evidence of wrongdoing. He established a detention center known as Tent City where inmates were regularly humiliated and exposed to extreme temperatures, drawing condemnation from human rights groups.

Support for trump with gop voters 83%/13% yes/no
***Here is the big news***
GOP voters where why do support(or similiar question I think why did you join the GOP) Trump 56% or GOP 36%
Trump owns the party, all these people who are speaking out they will be purged like Flake. Bannon was saying Flake is only one of GOP polticicans will be primaried and purged for there anti-trump politics. It a simple message, fall in behind trump or be primaried. If people think that Trump will be weakened in 2018 elections, trump getting reinforcements after primared gop policticans are replace. Bannon is already calling for Ryans and Michenals heads, Trump can have these 2 replaced in a heart beat.
I thought in past there would be small chance of impeachment but I was wrong, 0% chance now. Now you cross and you be primaried out your seat like Flake. Flake is spent force and example what happens when you cross Trump and his fellow proporgandist Bannon.
Tulsi Gabbard was on CNN. She refused to the be pinned down on the dossiers, Wolf? CNN host asked twice and she refused to support DNC or Clinton.

"Many have criticized the Warren Commission as a coverup. Gallup polls show that over 50 percent of Americans believe Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone."
The "big reveal" is pretty much a moot point, though. No massive files could prove a negative, redacted or not. If they released every single page, every single word, and it all pointed to Oswald, k00Ks would just say "they held the good stuff back", or shredded it in 1965, or whatever.
When people believe the government to be corrupt, the catch-22 is that the government cannot hope to prove to those people that they are not corrupt.

Fintech and the Government – the Partnerships, the Scrutiny, and the Future
written by Jackie Davis November 15, 2018
With 2019 fast approaching, there's a lot of speculation about how government regulations will impact fintech and its implementation in the coming year. In countries like India and China, startups are being embraced with open arms while in the United States the approach isn't as welcoming. Read on to learn more about fintech and the government.
In the first half of this year, global fintech investment reached a recording breaking $57 billion. Fintech firms are booming around the globe thanks to five key features including improving customer experience, offering transparency, improving security, offering maintenance and supervision, and enhancing financial inclusion.
In coming years, we can expect to see fintech move beyond a sole focus on customer experience and develop more innovative products. For traditional financial institutions, incorporating artificial intelligence, cloud, and digital options can help increase their customer base.
Regulating Fintech
With the shift to a Democrat controlled U.S. House of Representatives, fintech companies may experience more scrutiny as members attempt to regulate the growing industry. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) opened national bank charters to fintech companies this year, but only one, Varo Money, applied. As fintech booms, the struggle between state and federal regulations grow.
"What we will definitely see is a hearing announcement from the Financial Services Committee on the topic, and there's a chance that could lead to some compromise and bipartisan legislation that doesn't hamstring innovation," Lindsay Gorman, managing director at Politec Advisories.
Could Fintech Save a Financial Crisis
Heated debates have been taking place around big bank liquidity in the U.S. government. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman for Supervision Randal Quarles insists that lowering a traditional banks liquidity in the event of a crisis won't impact customers. "There's still trillions of dollars more liquidity in the system than there was before the crisis," he said.
During these discussions, Quarles said the OCC would be working with digital banking platforms to ensure liquidity and access to customers during a crisis. Digital banks are accessible at any time via smart device which showcases them as an important option for customers.
Fintech and Law Enforcement
A bright spot in the fintech and government discussion is Fintech FinCrime Exchange, a trade group based in the United Kingdom who is connecting fintech firms and law enforcement. The group has expanded to the U.S. following the growth of fintech, and along with it, the increase in financial crimes.
The goal of Fintech FinCrime Exchange is to help law enforcement agencies develop best practices in risk management and demonstrate how to use fintech to support investigations. "When we heard what was going on in the U.K. and the Netherlands, we thought there was tremendous opportunity to really build on that in the U.S.," said Julie Myers Wood, the CEO of Fintech FinCrime Exchange.

A Billionaire And A Yogi Team Up To Launch App To Challenge What's App
By Amy Lamare on June 27, 2018 in Articles › Billionaire News
Two Indian businessmen, a billionaire and a celebrity yogi, have teamed up to challenge WhatsApp with a new messaging app. However, they ran into trouble when massive security flaws plagued it upon release. Now, they've withdrawn their app and have vowed to fix it.
Billionaire Acharya Balkrishna created a consumer goods empire with celebrity yogi Baba Ramdev. Now, the partners are planning a formal release of the Kimbho messenger app within the next few weeks. But first, they have to fix it. Balkrishna promised that his messaging app will have more features than WhatsApp. Oh and by the way, Kimbho translates to "what's up" in Sanskrit.
The app was pulled after just a day of release in May. It was a lesson for Balkrishna and Ramdev. They built Pantanjail Ayurved in a booming business with $1.6 billion in annual revenue. The company sells natural supplements, soap, skin products, and instant noodles. Pantanjail Ayurved brands itself as all natural, home grown, and wholesome.
SAM PANTHAKY/AFP/Getty Images
In the short time Kimbho was available, it racked up 300,000 downloads and it just wasn't able to handle that kind of traffic.
Ramdev achieved fame from appearances on Indian TV. His celebrity made Pantanjail Ayurved a household name. Balkrishna owns most of the stock. Ramdev has a very small holding, as he lives by the life motto of "sanyasi," a life free of material possessions.
WhatsApp dominates India with 230 million users in the world's fastest growing economy. India has 1.3 billion people, which leads Balkrishna to believe that they can build their own messaging app with better features that caters to the people of India and keeps the user's data within India. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which has of late faced criticism for privacy breaches.
Kimbho was released on app stores so that a limited number of users could test the apps features such as text messaging, stickers and video calling. Way more people downloaded the app thanks to Ramdev's 10 million social media followers that the app's cloud servers crashed.
The formal release of Kimbho is expected within weeks. The initial focus of the app will be on messaging. Meanwhile WhatsApp is rolling out a digital payment system within the app after an earlier trial run with 1 million Indian users.
India is an enormous market with 500 million people accessing the internet via smartphones. There's room for a competitor to WhatsApp, especially as security concerns become more mainstream.

Every once in a while I really enjoy baking something sweet and a little different. I usually don't like chocolate cake, it has a tendency to be dry and can just be overwhelming. This cake gave me a new perspective on chocolate cakes everywhere. The glaze "icing" on this cake is a nice alternative to the same old chocolate icing and the fluffy inner layer keeps this cake light and moist.


Darren Bischoff is the founder of the School of Footwear, Sydney and has been studying the art of shoemaking for over thirty years.
During his early days of shoemaking Darren worked closely with the editors of Vogue, Elle, and Bazzar magazines, making custom made shoes for their fashion shoots. This saw his bespoke footwear paired with iconic labels such as Chanel, Collette Dinnigan, Gucci, and Saba, to name a few.
In the late 90's the shift towards globalisation and fast fashion forced the closure of the Australian footwear industry, and with no foresight from government regulatory bodies, the country was inundated with mass produced fast fashion. This was the shift Darren needed to shift his focus from fashion footwear to footwear as art. Darren began working on shoes that would be exhibited in museums worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Batta Shoe Museum in Toronto, and more locally, the Powerhouse Museum here in Sydney.
Alongside his art pieces, Darren worked closely with the theatre, film and opera industries here in Australia to create costume and period pieces for their performers.
In 2010 Darren established the School of Footwear, Sydney - positioned on Parramatta Road, Leichhardt the shoe school has become a local icon and curiousity. The school features century old machinery and an amazing window full of bizarre bespoke shoes of Darren's creation. Darren created a number of curriculums that explore the various aspects of shoemaking and has been teaching these programs individually and in group courses since the school's opening.
After thirty years in the industry, Darren is proud to have kept the Australian footwear scene alive and kicking from his school in Leichhardt and is continuing to develop programs that teach students the skills they need to create the shoes of their dreams.

Rumblings of protest out West in wake of California contractor law
AB Trucking small fleet owner Bill Aboudi, who runs eight trucks in and out of the Port of Oakland and also occasionally contracts with owner-operators who serve the Port of Oakland (often working under non-exclusive arrangements with multiple carriers as independent contractors, he says), shared the above image to his LinkedIn profile recently. It's one of several flyers he's seen that he believes are coming from various owner-operators around the Port of Oakland and elsewhere in the state frustrated with what they're being told in consultation with companies they contract with for freight — in his operation, that's containers by and large.
"Every time we've had a protest at the port," he says, "it's a grassroots efforts where the owner-operators get pissed off." He has no reason to suspect anything otherwise is going on here. The flyer above, printed from someone's Outlook email account by the looks of it, references an email whose domain (Truckers-Unite.org) doesn't go to a functioning website. My messages to the account early in the week went somewhere (they didn't bounce back as undeliverable), but they were not answered. Another of the flyers claims to be a message from "The Truckers Group." Sourcing on both, though, remains vague.
The antipathy expressed toward California bill AB 5 — which codified a quite difficult standard for the independent contractor relationships owner-ops have held with partner carriers to date — however, is familar to Bill Aboudi.
"I'm speaking against it even though I have employee drivers," he says, in his eight trucks. The port trucking business in Oakland and elsewhere is "really unpredictable. On some days, we're running nice and smooth – all of a sudden a ship is late, a ship is early, and it all has to happen now. That's where owner-operators come in" and opportunity is maximized for them. Aboudi keeps what he calls a "cheat sheet with people who qualify with you." Now those relationships with owner-operators (all of whom also work with other carriers as well, some with their authority and some without), given Aboudi owns trucks and is principally in the business of trucking, are open to legal challenge under AB 5.
For him, what that means is "I have to take less work" from the ship lines. He posits a 10-load job up for bid. "With only 8 trucks, I can't bid on that job" without the flex capacity port owner-ops offer.
AB 5, ultimately, "will hurt everybody" similarly over time, he believes.
AB Trucking owner Bill Aboudi
What owner-operators are hearing from larger companies, he says, is a mix of solutions, from those who aren't doing anything immediately to others exploring a two-check system or requiring owner-operators to get authority and interface with the company through a piece of technology like an app for loads, as a broker. As I've covered before, there are added costs involved in both models; Aboudi notes in particular:
Under a two-check system, the employer assumes new tax liabilities for the former independent contractor, while the owner-operator (essentially operating a rental business) now loses some of the deductions associated with operating the truck. One large company who gave a presentation Aboudi recently sat through estimated the additional costs in such an arrangement could equate to between 10% and 40% of an owner-operator's current income, depending on the situation, factoring in tax implications but also health and other benefits the company offers employees.
Getting motor carrier authority comes with a big increase in insurance costs, particularly when it comes to interstate new entrants but also in-state haulers.
As for the protest flyers going around the Oakland port, his own drivers and others have been bringing them to him, he says. Another singled out November 4-6 as specific dates for protest. Another flyer noted November 5 for a gathering at Middle Harbor Park in Oakland, yet did not specify a time.
"Talking to owner-operators throughout the port," says Aboudi, "I ask, 'what's your company saying?' Some are like, 'Well, they said for me to get my own authority.' Another said they're going to an employee model and they're buying trucks. Another said, 'We don't know, let's see what happens on Jan. 1.' What a great way to have certainty for a guy to get a paycheck."
You probably sense the sarcasm in his last sentence there.
Ultimately, looking at effects long-term, Aboudi worries the California law is just pulling up the ladder he and many others climbed from his start in the business in the late 1980s. "Almost all the trucking companies at the port that I know started as independent contractors and moved themselves up." He pointed also to a friend who, in late 1980s, started driving as "a Teamster company driver, then switched to owner-operator [for greater income opportunity] while taking care of his daughter as a single father. Now, he owns a warehouse and a trucking company.
"Is there misclassification going on in some cases? I guarantee there is, but let's go after that. Why disrupt every industry" on account of a few bad actors?
Potential remains for court action or, perhaps next year, a referendum on the ballot over the new law, but time is short. Assuming nothing changes, it goes into effect Jan. 1, as intimated above.

Argentina: What Will The New Argentinian Government Mean For Employers?
by Eduardo Viñales (Funes De Rioja & Asociados)
lus Laboris
The new Argentinian President, Alberto Fernandez, took office on 10 December 2019. This article examines the trend emerging from the new administration's first employment law measures.
Argentina is a country that is predictable in its cycles. Crises occur with a regular pattern and the measures and policies that are applied to solve problems that arise are often those that proved unsuccessful in the past. This also applies to employment-related acts and decisions that are made in times of crisis.
A new government took office in December 2019. Although it is not wholly accurate to label it a Peronist-based alliance, it can be defined as a centre-left government strongly backed by the unions. Consequently, strong intervention in the labour market is what was expected from the new administration and this is what is in fact happening. Two recent decisions taken by decree serve as an example of how the government is acting.
Increased cost of dismissals: DNU 34/2019
The elected president has passed a decree doubling the amount of severance payments for a dismissal without cause for a period of 180 days. The stated aim of this decision is to fight unemployment and induce employers to abstain from restructuring. A similar decision was taken during 2002 crisis. This return to a hurdle to dismissal does not guarantee that employers will not dismiss employees, but does make the process more expensive. It may also discourage new hirings.
Salary increase: DNU 14/2020
The government has decided to increase the salary of all employees in Argentina by ARS 4.000 in two instalments: ARS 3,000 in January and an extra ARS 1,000 in February. For an employee working in an average industrial activity, this will constitute a 12% increase in the base salary of the lower pay bands. A similar measure was taken during 2002 crisis.
This predictable trend of more intervention in the labour market may continue, but commentators hope the government will learn from past experience and invest in long-term solutions in addressing Argentina's current economic difficulties.

Michael Heckert (born 29 October 1950, in Halle an der Saale) is a contemporary painter who dedicates himself to abstract expressionism. The artist depicts and describes the phenomenon of the female. He was influenced by American painter Willem de Kooning.

Life
Heckert grew up in Ostwestfalen, Germany. He presently maintains residences and studios in Cologne, Germany, and in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

In early childhood Heckert displayed an unusual artistic talent for painting, and he determined to become a painter. His parents judged his passion as "breadless art" and forced him to complete an apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade merchandiser in order to support financially his parental household (out of 96,- German Marks net wage during the first year as an apprentice he had to deliver at home 80,- German Marks ). After 11 years of little success in this occupation he managed – in spite of only having studied up to the compulsory school level –  to study arts in the SHFBK Braunschweig and graduated with outstanding achievements.

Artistic career
Heckert's first exhibition was in 1982 in Cologne, in the Heinz Holtmann Gallery, and was considered successful. His longing for illimitability in expression led 1984 to a change of style in his paintings: he turned away from the half figurative paintings and sought to materialise his mode of expression in abstract painting. Despite the strong influence of de Kooning, he developed his own form for his artistic contents: The female.

At the beginning of 2007 Heckert moved to Port-au-Prince, where he encountered new impressions and challenges. The local art which predominantly deals with Voodoo and the everyday life of the Haitian people inspires increasingly his oeuvre.

To Flat or To Cap?
No that's not a question about Australian coffee tastes and the critically important difference between a flat white and a cappuccino. This is a question about the differences in ISP retail models for broadband Internet access and the choice between a retail model of a "unlimited" flat fee that has no volume component, and a "capped" model where the service fee provides for a certain data volume and when that volume is reached either the user is exposed to an incremental fee, or the service is throttled back to a narrowband service for the remainder of the billing period. It seems that this is once more a critical question in the ISP world, and maybe this time the topic is best approached through television.
I don't think it's a surprise to anyone, but it's the Christmas season again and doubtless a large number of television sets will be sold as part of the annual retail festivities. But these days the devices for sale in the shops are not just televisions: today's television is perhaps better described as a media computer with a very large display. Sure, the device can tune in to radio transmissions and display them, as one would of course expect from a conventional television, but the device also is equipped with either a WiFi or an Ethernet jack, or both. This alone sounds like a relatively innocuous addition to the television, but it's providing to be a highly disruptive change in the traditional Internet market space. Behind that network interface lurks a highly capable computing environment, with embedded applications and services that turn the television into a highly capable communications device. And embedded into the device is a set of interfaces into a world of streaming video content, all provided over the Internet. All this is starting to be all very disruptive to a number of broadband access providers business plans.
As an illustration of just how disruptive this can be, its interesting to review some events that occurred South Korea at in February 2012. At that time Korea Telecom (KT) made public its quite surprising move to block Samsung's "Smart TVs" from downloading streaming content over KT's consumer broadband network. In essence, KT's blocking move transformed the device back into a "dumb" TV, and needless to say neither Samsung, nor the hapless consumers who had purchased these devices to use with a KT broadband connection, were overly impressed.
South Korea is a country that proudly proclaims its effective saturation of its domestic population with high speed broadband access services, and rightly so, as this is a notable achievement. Megabit speeds are common and these days experimental deployments of a gigabit access service are underway in parts of the country. So it's not without some small element of surprise to hear a KT representative claim at a recent OECD meeting at the OECD that deploying a device that actually makes use of this broadband infrastructure is in some fashion "unfair," even "damaging," and indeed so "damaging" to the network that KT felt it necessary to pull the plug on these devices.
Evidently, according to Korea Telecom, Samsung opted to take a "very negative response" to KT's actions. Samsung obtained a court injunction to lift KT's block on their TVs and an associated order for KT and Samsung to enter into arbitration. At the same time Samsung filed a lawsuit against KT. In due course the temperature of the dispute abated and all the parties backed down. KT discontinued its block, and Samsung dropped its lawsuit. However, there was evidently some residual bad feeling here as Samsung expressed their desire for the national regulator to convey a "strict warning" to KT over its actions.
What KT was after is quite simple: they were insisting that Samsung, and other local "Smart TV" vendors in the Korean market, must pay a levy to KT to have their devices deliver their content over KT's broadband access network. Predictably, Samsung officials said in response that they had no intention of paying KT for network access for their devices.
Samsung remains publicly confident that the Korean regulatory position will continue to support its position, but it raises a larger spectre across the generally buoyant Internet consumer content industry. The threat here is that if the incumbent carrier is able to carry out its threat and block these devices from the network unless the manufacturer comes to a prior agreement with the carrier to pay some form of levy, then it would set an unfortunate precedent that would have repercussions across the entire Internet. This contretemps potentially extends way beyond Samsung and KT, and draws in LG and Panasonic and also potentially draws in Microsoft and its Xbox, the Sony Playstation and the Apple TV, to mention some of the more prominent vendors of the current generation of streaming content devices.
Video is by no means novel and video over the Internet is also by no means novel. Why has this become an issue in 2012? Why didn't it surface years ago with, say, the emergence of YouTube in 2005?
A combination of various factors is certainly placing some new pressures on local Internet access infrastructure, and the shift from broadcast television to streaming video is central to the picture. Are these carriers' claims of "overuse" of the network justified? Just how much data does a streaming video TV pull through the access network in order to generate a picture?
Today's television sets are typically 1080 lines with a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, so that the screen is 2.1 megapixels in size, with a display rate of some 24 frames per second. Without compression, using a three color system with 16 bits per color, this display is equivalent to a data rate of 2.4Gbps in a raw (uncompressed) format. A typical video codec can reduce this data rate considerably, and a high quality HDTV video stream can generate a sustained data stream of between 10Mbps to 20Mbps through a high quality codec, although it is more common to see compressed HD video content using streaming rates of some 3Mbps - 4Mps. Even this rate is of course far higher than that used with the small format video streams used for video display on computer screens, which are typically around 10 times smaller at 300Kbps - 500Kbps.
As well as the data volume, there is also the factor of the transport protocol used to pass the streaming video data to the consumer. Steaming protocols are not exactly the most social of protocols on the wire. They are typically based on the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), and typically use a unicast UDP streaming transport model. Unlike DCCP (DCCP is not feasible due to the high density of deployment of basic edge firewalls which would effectively filter out DCCP as an unrecognized transport protocol) or even TCP, these unicast streams do not conventionally perform any form of congestion-based date adaptation.
That's not all in terms of the factors that make the current round of streaming video content uncomfortable for the network. Consumers tend to behave in similar ways, such that there are pronounced peak periods in the day. Like the physical transportation infrastructure in a city, it's not the average load that matters. What matters for most users is the match of the peak load to the infrastructure capacity. In the case of these "smart" TVs the peak load considerations in the network occur the 6pm to 9pm evening time slot.
A further factor here is that consumers tend to treat a "smart" TV as a TV and not as a computer, and when they leave the TV, they tend to leave it running, rather than shut down the video stream when they are not viewing it. This is particularly prevalent where there is no marginal cost associated with leaving the streaming device on, such as is the case in a flat rate tariff environment.
And finally there is the factor of the access provider's network provisioning model. Access networks are not engineered on a zero contention model. When an access provider connects 100 consumers each with a 100Mbps broadband service, then it is not the case that the feeder network would be provisioned with 10Gps of back end capacity dedicated to these 100 consumers. While published details of the precise nature of the engineering in access networks are scant, contention ratios of 100:1 are not uncommon in this area, where one unit of back end feeder capacity is provisioned for every 100 units of access capacity delivered to the consumer. While gigabit networks are now in the area of commodity systems, higher speeds in the back end of these access network, such as 100Gbps, just do not exist, and even 40Gbps systems attract an unwelcome price premium simply because they are some years ahead of the technology curve. And the older the broadband deployment, such as is the case in Korea, the more likely that the back end networks tend to lower speeds and higher contention ratios. So while the outward statistics of the broadband network may look impressive, with provisioned speeds of up to 100Mbps, the contention ratio in the provisioning model may be very high, so that if every consumer attempting to pull down 100Mbps of content at the same time the network would simply be unable to cope.
If the back end of these broadband access networks are so heavily over-committed, then why was this not such a public problem for many years? Much of the answer lies in the evolution of usage of the network and the difference in behaviour between TCP and UDP protocols.
For many years the Internet was a predominately TCP network. The main data volume in the network was various forms of file transfers that were parts of web pages. parts of a peer-to-peer file sharing network, shared data sets, or just about anything else that involved the movement of data from one machine to another. None of these applications were "real time" applications, and in general the network transactions that passed these data elements around were based on the TCP protocol. Recent years have seen a shift in data volumes on the access networks such that video streaming has supplanted all other applications as the major application by data volumes on the access network in many parts of the world. And video streaming is a UDP application.
So if we look at protocol behaviour for a second, TCP is a rate adaptive protocol, and over the course of long held sessions multiple TCP users tend to equilibrate their use of the common network and each TCP session receives an approximately equal share of the constrained network resource. One TCP stream cannot "shut down" any other TCP stream. Under conditions of network congestion each TCP application will reduce its data transfer rate to a level that alleviates the congestion pressure. This is generally not directly visible to the consumer, in so far as the vagaries of second-by-second file transfer rates are not normally prominently displayed as part of the user's interface to the network. In essence, TCP performs its rate control function quietly and with direct visibility to the end user. On the other hand, UDP has no such adaptive flow controls, and in a video streaming context each stream will attempt to push a relatively constant data rate through the congested network bottleneck irrespective of the congestion level in the networks through which the streams are being pushed. Network contention implies lost UDP data, and in the case of video streaming this lost data means compromised picture quality in the streaming video application. In other words this saturation condition in the back end of the access network becomes highly visible to all video streaming users.
KT, like many carriers, has its own IPTV service, but this service is evidently not madly popular with consumers. The IPTV service is conventionally modeled on a broadcast TV model, where a single stream is fed to all consumers simultaneously via multicast. This is distinct from the content streaming model, which is more like a DVD library model where each consumer can program their own content in their own time. The content streaming video models have proved to extremely popular with consumers, but now there are no carriage efficiencies to be had, Instead of multicasting a fixed number of IPTV channels through the network each consumer is receiving their own unique content stream. Consequently, video streaming traffic levels are on the rise in the carriage network, and this has some potentially interesting implications on the contention levels in the back end of broadband access networks.
This shift in the consumers traffic patterns with high definition streaming video content and smart TVs is presenting new challenges for the carriage provider of broadband access services. It's no longer a case of a conventional "heavy tail" of distribution, where 10% of customers are responsible for 80% of the traffic, such as was the case when file sharing was the predominate traffic component and the so-called "super seeders" were the high profile users of the network. In a streaming content environment the peak profile of usage is such that a much higher proportion of consumers are consuming large traffic volumes at peak times, and the access network is failing under congestion load during these peak usage periods. In other words as well as observing a small number of users contributing to the average traffic volumes for the entire network, we now also see a broad set of users equally contribute to the peak traffic load, and now the claim is being made that this peak traffic load is overwhelming the network's capacity and compromising service quality for all the network's users in these peak periods.
In many consumer markets we are used to the good being sold using an incremental tariff. Purchasing two apples will normally cost twice the amount of a single apple. More generally, if a consumer consumes a greater quantity of the good, then the consumer is charged a higher tariff in proportion to the quantity consumed. The higher tariff provides incentive for the producer to produce more of the good, and the market equilibrates the unit price of the good between the consumer's perception of value for a given quantity of the good and the producer's estimation of an efficient production price. But where the good is sold on a flat rate basis, such as unlimited flat rate broadband services (such as those retailed by KT), then these conventional market incentives do not work. The consumer is incented to consume more, as there is no marginal cost associated with consumption, but the producer is motived to produce less, as there is no marginal revenue associated with higher demand. Where demand rises in a flat rate tariffed market then, according to one industry presentation I heard last week, the producer reports that: "we have a decoupling of revenues from traffic."
The obvious response to this escalation in traffic volumes would be to construct higher capacity back end subsystems in the access network. But in a flat rate tariff environment the business problem is that any such investment in the network would be funded by their existing revenue margins, as the flat rate tariff implies that for a long as any increment in network capacity is consumed by the existing customer base then the costs of that increment in infrastructure capacity are being funded by the business, not by the customer base.
An obvious response would be to introduce volume-based tariffs, or "data caps" as they are often called. In some markets, such as Australia, this retail model of data caps is so widely used that unlimited flat rate offerings are viewed with some suspicion as being of compromised quality by the consumer.
In other markets, including Korea, the flat fee model is so ubiquitous across the broadband retail market that the claim is made that any attempt to introduce data caps would be tantamount to commercial suicide, or so the operators in these markets claim. They see the introduction of any form of volume-based retail tariff to be simply not an option for them. So deeply held is this opinion that in these "flat rate" markets a number of carriers are trying to engage the content industry in what the carriers would call "cost sharing" models, but the prospects of any mutually satisfactory outcome from such engagements are dim at best.
It seems like these flat rate access service providers have managed to wedge themselves between a rock and a hard place. On the one side we see the content providers exploiting this flat rate tariff structure with a streaming video content model that imposes high volumes of data upon the back ends of their networks at peak times, and they claim that this additional traffic does not generate any revenues form the customer base, so any efforts to add further capacity to their networks is going to be funded by the carriage provider out of the existing revenue margins. On the other side they firmly believe that efforts to introduce data caps after many years of operating on a flat fee structure would push their customer base to use competitor's products and drive them into business failure for this particular activity, as well as attracting a strongly unsympathetic consumer reaction, which would be a public relations disaster.
What about the picture from the other side? A good a perspective as any comes from Netflix, an entity that has wholeheartedly embraced streaming video content delivery. Today, according to a report from Netflix to the same recent meeting at the OECD, Netflix has more than 30 million customers, predominately in the Americas, but also in the United Kingdom, Ireland and, most recently in the Nordic countries.
The Netflix offering is a flat fee system that allows the customer to stream videos without incremental cost per session. They have taken an earlier DVD library model, where the entire library is available to the customer and reproduced this in an online environment. This model has been so successful commercially that Netflix is now following in the footsteps of HBO in producing its own content, releasing the entire series at once, allowing the customers to select how they wanted to view the series.
Not surprisingly Netflix's business model is based on a retail broadband offering that is essentially an unlimited flat fee offering. In this way the customer is not exposed to any incremental marginal cost in choosing to watch streamed video content, as compared to broadcast, cable or DVD material. And equally unsurprisingly Netflix is supportive of a position that is opposed to the introduction of volume caps in retail broadband tariffs in those markets where Netflix is active, and on a consistent theme, Netflix strives to ensure that in an ISP's offering streamed Netflix content is not tariffed within the volume caps.
Of course Netflix is not the only such "over the top" service provider in this area, and there are now a number of such streaming providers offering services in these markets. The increasing prominence of this form of service in the market place the more weight is placed behind the pressures for flat fee based broadband services, or at the very least exemptions for video streaming services from volume caps.
Netflix, like many content provides, appears to be strongly resistant to any suggestion that they subsidies or fund the delivery of content to the user. They argue that they have already funded their Content Distribution Network (CDN), and at their cost have brought content close to the user through the deployment of CDN Points of Presence at major exchange points and the execution of peering arrangements with those service providers willing to enter into such arrangements. I have heard the content folk argue that to enter into financial relationship with a service provider with whom they do not necessarily have any direct network interconnection relationship, and over traffic flows that are initiated and maintained by the service provider's users rather than by the content provider, would conventionally be considered as extortion in other contexts.
The recent calls for the introduction of "sender pays" into the network's commercial landscape, championed in recent times from European Telecommunications Network Operators (ETNO) show that KT's perceived plight is not just an isolated case. It appears that many of the broadband access carriage providers, perhaps notably those that invested heavily in "triple play" and other forms of bundled IPTV offerings, are finding that the own business models are foundering. The flat fee is not covering their costs of investment in network infrastructure, and the expanding data volumes arising from the shift towards content streaming models bypass the service providers own multicast IPTV models just as much as they bypass traditional broadcast TV. The expectation that users would augment the basic flat fee offering by spending money on the service provider' own premium content offerings have proved ill-conceived. The associated business structure that assumed that this premium content income stream would cross-subsidize a loss-leading flat fee entry tariff is proving to be an expensive mistake and yesterday's highly fashionable triple play is proving to be today's toxic liability. Consumers simply purchase the low-priced flat rate tariff and then purchase their content from third parties who evidently provide a combination of a massive array of popular content and extremely low flat rate fees.
It seems that when you have a business failure of this scale there are a number of options available, but some appear to be more sensible than others. One is to try and get the content providers to take the place of the service provider's own premium content offering, and force these entities to cross-subsidize the providers' basic flat rate broadband access tariff by paying the service provider to allow the service provider to pass the content to the consumer. And if the content industry is unwilling to pay then perhaps its time to invoke a regulatory impost, as seen by ETNO's recent attempts to introduce this measure into the negotiation process leading to the redrafting of the International telecommunications Regulations (ITR). But perhaps its folly to wander about making the claim that "you must pay for my poor choice of business models!" to anyone within hearing distance. Perhaps the problem here is that a poor choice of business models requires a change of the business model. If consumers are the source of revenue for a broadband access network then conventionally the tariff's levied on consumers need to cover the cost of the business. And where the consumer makes a greater use of the network by generating higher volumes of data on the network then there is a compelling case to expose this marginal cost to the customer. In the case way as my other utilities, such as water, electricity and gas are metered services, then perhaps an economically efficient model for the utility role of the provision of packets is by a metered service.
In any undistinguished commodity market, where there are incremental costs associated in the production of the good being traded in the market, then the long term prospects for a provider who addresses the market with a flat fee schedule are not good. The flat fee model provides little incentive to moderate the consumption of the good, and overconsumption causes failure of the provider's ability to sustain the production of the good. This is a situation that has a lot in common with the "tragedy of the commons".
The Internet has often been compared to the Commons, where a communal resource was owned by no one, yet it was commonly used to the benefit of all. It is not the concept of the commons itself that has become entrenched in our vocabulary, but the aspect of the "tragedy of the commons", where the unmanaged common resource was abused to the point of destruction. Each individual user stood to gain more through increasing their use of the common resource, and, as there was no governance of each individual's use of the resource, there was no penalty imposed for overuse. No single person or entity was responsible for the proper maintenance of the commons and the cumulative problem of degradation of the resource to the point of collapse was not a problem that any individual user was equipped to tackle.
In old English law the "commons" were areas of land that were held in common by the general population, "the commoners," as opposed to specific tracts that were held by the nobility. The grounds may have been pasture lands, woodlands, or open space used by the general population. The word "commons" is derived from Latin "communis" and means the quality of sharing by all or many.
Fourteenth-century Britain was organized as a loosely aligned collection of villages, each with a common pasture for villagers to graze horses, cattle, and sheep. Each household attempted to gain wealth by putting as many animals on the commons as it could afford. As the village grew in size, more and more animals were placed on the commons, and the overgrazing ruined the pasture. No stock could be supported on the commons thereafter. As a consequence, village after village collapsed.
The failure here is a failure of the flat fee access model. However, the underlying failure might possibly be attributed to a failure to a deep appreciation that the Internet is far more versatile than the telephone network it replaced, and the dynamics of change are a constant factor in the behaviour of the Internet. To base a network's engineering, and its business model on a single model of network use, and to assume that this will not change rapidly over time is perhaps the real folly here. To assume that carriage and content are so inextricably interwoven that when a consumer purchases a carriage product from a provider that the same consumer will be bound to also purchase premium content services from that same provider is part of that same folly. And to bind the two together in an intricate web of structural cross-subsidization simply adds to the problem, rather than offering any form of sustainable solution.
A commercially viable carriage provider needs flexibility to respond to changing usage patterns. When carriage providers use inflexible business models that trigger situations where revenues are disconnected from traffic volumes, what we are seeing is a knee jerk reaction to blame the generator of the increased traffic volumes, and try and make the content providers repair the revenue gap. However, such an approach does not have overly bright prospects for lasting success. It may be a more challenging, but a more sustainable, approach to expose to the consumer those points where incremental costs are incurred by the carriage provider by using a tariff structure that includes various forms of volume-based parameters., such as are used in a capped tariff structure.
However you look at it, a broadband access carriage industry response to smart TVs and the increasing proliferation of "over the top" video content streamers of "Your innovation has broken my business plan! You owe me money!" is not going to go anywhere productive. If the carriage provider's business plan is not working then perhaps its time to look at what went wrong and how it might be corrected, rather than blame someone else.
Of course, if carriage goes to a metered model, we'll next here from the over-the-top content providers: "Your [new business plan] has broken my business plan! You owe me money!"
I am however coming around to your point of view. Broadband networks need to find a sustainable model that will keep people using the Internet while also funding future network infrastructure growth. I just hope they can find a model that really does both. Overly restrictive caps or prohibitive metered costs will not work to encourage further Internet use and innovation, and that would be the real tragedy.

Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) preferred candidate for the upcoming Representative by-election for Montserrado County's Electoral District 13, John J. Weah says, "unison is the hallmark for fostering development" in the district. Weah told cross section of partisans in the district just after his election on the party's ticket Tuesday, October 2, that developmental activities earmarked by the George Weah administration will not become a reality in the absent of unison. The by-election is expected to be held on November 20."We call for the support of everybody that lives in district 13 because without your support, development will not go on smoothly. We are calling for your support in these elections to continue the legacy left behind by Senator Saah Joseph," Weah said.
The primary was held at the party's District 13 office in the New Georgia area.
Mr. Weah won the CDC district 13 primary ahead of three other contestants with 29 votes out of a total 45 votes cast.
Wilmot Smith, one of the contestants, came closer to Weah with a total of 15 votes count while Andy Jallah got one vote count. Two other contestants, Siah Tandapolie and Amos Ndoborkpehe, did not get a single vote.
He further expressed delight over the manner in which the process was conducted, calling for his colleague support in the upcoming elections.
"This is the most transparent free and fair election I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. My colleagues who were not successful, I want to say that we are not opponents, all of us are partisans, let us join efforts for a single victory," Weah noted.
Mr. Weah contested in district's 2011 elections and came second to Saah Joseph who is now in the Liberian Senate.
Following the primary, candidates who participated in the process promised to support Weah in the upcoming election.
Another candidate in the race Andy Jallah, noted that the result of the primary shows that partisans of the CDC in Montserrado County District 13 believe in the candidacy of Mr. Weah.
For his part, defeated candidate Wilmot Smith who was a serious contender to Weah also graded the process as unique and a procedure that display democracy.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of the Township of Gardenesville, Moses Wreh has cautioned residents of the district to uphold the spirit of discipline and remain calm in exercising their political franchise in the upcoming polls.
Commissioner Wreh said despite political diversity, the interest of Montserrado County District 13 must be the hallmark of its residents, calling for more development in the area.

Bucknell Stories

There is real support for collaboration and creative problem-solving here.
Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Kat Wakabayashi says his favorite aspect of teaching at Bucknell is how involved he gets to be with his students. "The students here are the main focus," he says. "They take an active part in research, write up their papers and, in many cases, present them at national conferences themselves." He points out that typical college students, even at large research institutions, do not get opportunities like that as undergraduates.
Wakabayashi is a materials engineer by training, with a specialty in polymers such as plastics and rubbers. In his lab, he and his students find ways to develop polymers with enhanced properties that can have applications across a variety of industries. Whether it's a lighter material to replace aluminum alloys for the aerospace industry, biodegradable cutlery to protect the environment or a performance fabric that regulates body temperature more efficiently, the answer is polymers.
Polymers can be improved by mixing them to create blends, or by adding fillers to them to make composites, he says. Generally, this is done using high temperatures and a machine called an extruder. Wakabayashi's lab contains a state-of-the art extruder capable of this high temperature approach and of creating sub-zero temperatures as well.
Using extremely cold temperature is a technique Wakabayashi was introduced to as a postdoctoral researcher, and it is an integral part of his research today. Recently, his research group put its own spin on the process and developed an approach to creating polymer composites or blends using extreme heat and cold simultaneously. "This is an example of my students' input taking the experiment to new levels," he says. He and his students have published a journal article and applied for a patent on this creative and novel approach.
Wakabayashi is thankful to have free access to laboratory facilities that feature top-quality, research grade equipment. He notes that in the course of testing their polymers, his students use the equipment found in labs all over campus including those in the chemistry, biology and geology departments. Everywhere they go, he says, the equipment is first-rate and the students are trained to use it correctly. Plus, he says, the fact that it is shared across campus says a lot about Bucknell. "I appreciate working in such an open environment," he says. "There is real support for collaboration and creative problem-solving here."

Q: Why doesn't angular render my field component? I have a BoxComponent that has only one field, an array of numbers. The selector for this Component is app-box
box.component.html

    Number is {{num}}

box.component.ts
export class BoxComponent {

  cards: number[] = [];

  top_up(val: number) {
    this.cards.push(val);
  }

}

In its parent AppComponent, I added a single field that stores a BoxComponent object.
app.component.html
<app-box></app-box>
<button (click)="push()">Top-up</button>

app.component.ts
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'test';
  box: BoxComponent = new BoxComponent();

  push() {
    this.box.top_up(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10));
  }
}

I wish to make the click in the appcomponent template to modify the contents of app-box.
However angular does not update the app-box when the button is clicked. I somehow was able to confirm that the field box of appcomponent actually gets updated, the change just doesn't show in the browser. Based on this I have concluded that the app-box tag creates a different BoxComponent rather than use the one I have created within the AppComponent class.
Am I right? How do I make angular render my box and respond to changes I make to it from the AppComponent click event?
Edit: I have simplified the problem to its simplest form.

A: change the app component to :
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'test';
  @ViewChild('bComponent') boxComponent!: BoxComponent;

  push() {
    this.boxComponent.top_up(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10));
  }
}

and it's html to :
<app-box #bComponent></app-box>
<button (click)="push()">Top-up</button>

A: Just add the "return" keyword in the "add_card" function.

card.ts

export class Card {
  suit: number | undefined;
  rank: number | undefined;

  constructor(suit: number, rank: number) {
    this.suit = suit;
    this.rank = rank;
  }
}

player.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Card } from '../card';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-player',
  templateUrl: './player.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./player.component.css'],
})
export class PlayerComponent {
  cards: Card[] = [];

  constructor() {
    this.cards = [new Card(2, 4), new Card(3, 7)];
  }

  add_card() {
   return this.cards.push(new Card(2, 4));
  }
}

player.component.html

    <ng-content></ng-content>

            suit {{card.suit}}
            rank {{card.rank}}

    <button (click)="add_card()">Add</button>

A: Use this way in your App component
@ViewChild(BoxComponent)BoxComponentRef:BoxComponent;
push()
{
this.BoxComponentRef.top_up(Math.floor(Math.random());
}
