Room40 Open Frame at Cafe Oto, 4-5 November 2010
Posted on November 7, 2010 by s_mcm_
In its (first) ten years, the Australian Room40 label has built up an impressively diverse catalogue of experimental music; it would be asking too much for this year's Open Frame event, held for the second year at its spiritual home-from-home Cafe Oto, to do justice to that breadth. There was no place for Japanese avant-pop this year, or for abstract sound recordings, for example. Instead, the first night focused on the more improvisational end of their output, featuring percussionist Andrea Belfi, a quintet made up of the I/O3 trio with David Toop and Scanner, and Necks pianist Chris Abrahams. Friday night slipped deep into ambient and noise soundscapes as represented by Rafael Anton Irisarri, Lawrence English, and Grouper.
Andrea Belfi's short set was an understated masterclass in the art of mixing percussion with electronics. His drum kit was quite a contraption, festooned with metal objects and with mics swinging on strings, and he made simple and effective use of it all. He sampled the sound of mallets softly caressing drums, looping and blending this with sine waves, and calling in voices from the ether, before finishing with some delicate gamelan, soft patterns repeating over and over, sending us gently into a trance.
The following set reunited the musicians from one of Room40's earliest releases: A Picturesque View, Ignored. I/O3 (Room40 boss Lawrence English with Tam Patton and Heinz Riegler), Scanner and David Toop are from very different backgrounds: in particular, Toop's fascination with the precise qualities of sound, and Scanner's more rhythmic approach, led the ensemble into some very disparate, and quite unexpected spaces. Toop added a rich selection of sounds, the crunching of dried leaves, the snapping of twigs, and the dropping of mustard seeds into a metal dish. Scanner looped and sampled, finding patterns in the forest (it reminded me a little of Biosphere at one point), supplementing them with his own field recordings, and chopping at a chaos pad. Under this was a dark and ever-shifting carpet of ebowed guitar and electronic mulch from I/O3.
Chris Abrahams is a man possessed of an inquisitive mind. His recent album for the Room40 label, the excellent Play Scar, saw him straying from his more usual piano and exploring the sounds of Hammond organs, synths and a ruined church organ amongst others. For this Open Frame performance he was back on piano again, but retaining that sense of adventure. What if? What if I restricted myself to just one note for half of the set? After a slow introduction, huge sprawling gaps between the notes, Abrahams found himself drawn to his instrument's high B. B. B. B. B. He began by playing it with one finger, speeding up, B, B, B, B, B, and then playing it with two, BBBBBBBB. The longer this went on, the more you noticed: harmonics emerged (someone with far better ears than me picked out a C sharp), while the increasingly powerful thud of his fingers on the keys added a percussive element. He got so much from so little, and had the audience so completely spellbound, that it was almost a shame that he had to break it, his left hand dominating in a pulsing, phasing, almost Reichian finale. After the set, I asked Abrahams about the note: it was a B, wasn't it? "Of course", he replied, "B is the best note". Marvellous.
After that magnificent minimalism, day two was to offer something far lusher. And wetter. Rafael Anton Irisarri built on his Room40 release The North Bend with a set which drew on looped guitar and electronic drones, placing them amongst some damp-sounding field recordings, matching the prevailing atomospheric conditions outside. Grey, drizzly static gave way to the sound of footsteps in soggy mud, while slight bowed and ebowed guitar was followed with some overwhelmingly powerful bass frequencies. As this all collected in repetitive figures, it recalled the dreamy ambience of Wolfgang Voigt's GAS project, lacking the rhythmic impetus, but with the same serene sense of progression into ever darker spaces.
If we felt wet after Irisarri's performance, then Lawrence English was to give us a good drenching in a set derived, it seemed, from knitting together his own recordings of a voyage to sea. Our journey started on the shore, with waves lapping at our feet, the sound pitching and lurching with increasing intensity as we were steered straight into the centre of an ocean storm. A dense mist of wind and water was whipped up around us, the ship's mast and hull clanking and groaning under the strain, before we anchored up on the other side, our presence disturbing flocks of birds. After huge low waves of engine noise, English began to pump at his harmonium, swaying like he was standing on deck: this was a very physical performance, exhaustingly so. Even if you had seen him do something similar in the same venue last year, this was still an impressively evocative piece of work.
The dying waves of Lawrence's harmonium spilt onto the grainy shore of Grouper cassette hiss. Liz Harris didn't have a Walkman, she had a Walkarmy, six cassette players emitting a mixture of hum, distorted Basinski-like melody loops, and field recordings (traffic sounds, most recognisably). She added barely-there guitar arpeggios, only just disturbing the strings with her fingertips, before she began to whisper a soft vocal line. Everything was inhabiting the space on the very edge of perceptibility: this was by far the quietest Grouper performance I have witnessed, and possibly partly for that reason, also the best. More than ever these felt like mere ghosts of songs, haunted transmissions from the shadows; you had to work hard just to pick them up, and then to separate them from Dalston street sounds and Oto glass clinking. Just as it felt like our very lives were sublimating into the east London air, Lawrence English and Rafael Anton Irisarri returned to give us all a good hard boot up the arse, their bowed guitar and electronic drones rounding off this year's Open Frame on a high note, almost as high as Chris Abrahams's high C sharp from the previous night.

Genoa October 01, 2008
Tata limited agrees to become a co-primary shareholder in piaggio aero
1st October 2008 - Genoa, Italy: - Piaggio Aero, today announced that Tata Limited has agreed to acquire approximately one third stake to become one of the primary shareholders, alongside Ferrari and di mase families and Mubadala Development Company.
Subject to approvals, Piaggio Aero Industries s.p.a. will be owned almost equally by the three co-primary shareholders.
Tata Limited, a U.K. based subsidiary of tata sons, has been representing tata sons in Europe since 1907. Tata sons, based in India, is the promoter of various Tata Companies which collectively had revenue of usd 62.5 billion during 2007-08 and employ around 350,000 people worldwide.
The proposed investment by Tata Limited consists of purchasing existing shares and new share capital subscription. Tata Limited will have three of the nine seats on the board of piaggio aero, and one of the three seats on the company's executive management committee. The valuation and other financial terms of the investment are not disclosed.
The proposed investment is founded on a shared belief by Tata Limited and Piaggio Aero shareholders that the business aviation market will continue to expand significantly. The increased share capital will enable Piaggio Aero to harness market growth, expanding production rates and offering the P180 Avanti II to new markets. The industrial expertise residing within the Tata Companies will strengthen growth plans, which include establishing a strong market presence in india, where the government is targeting establishment of 500 fully operational airports by 2020, as compared to less than 100 at present.
"We are really honoured that Tata Limited has chosen to invest in Piaggio Aero Industries, becoming our co-primary shareholder. We are heavily engaged in strategic planning for the development of the company. Tata Limited's involvement in our projects would be extremely gratifying and allow us to increase the success of recent years. The future for Piaggio Aero is bright and with the support of world-class investors and strategic partners like Mubadala Development Company and Tata Limited, I'm confident we can realize our full potential" said mr.Piero Ferrari, Piaggio Aero Industries chairman. "This milestone agreement gives Piaggio Aero a great opportunity to work closely with one of the leading companies in the world. We are confident that the company's proposed new shareholding structure which now, with Tata Limited and Mubadala Development Company, would allow piaggio aero to execute its strategic development plan in a growing business environment", he added.
"Piaggio Aero welcomes Tata Limited as the best possible strategic partner for the company" declared the Piaggio Aero CEO Josè di Mase "They are a highly ethical and selective investor and it would be an honor for Piaggio Aero to be a part of the their portfolio which includes some of the best companies in the world. Tata Limited has agreed to become a shareholder of Piaggio Aero to further participate in the growth of our company for which this agreement represents an important milestone. We look forward to what we know will be a proactive contribution coming to the company from Tata Limited that has expressed a great deal of confidence in the strategic direction we have established for the development of Piaggio Aero. This milestone agreement also offers the opportunity for Piaggio Aero to benefit from industrial expertise of the Tata Companies", he added.
Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, CEO of Mubadala Development Company commented "We welcome Tata Llimited as Piaggio Aero shareholders. We believe that Tata Limited's involvement will further support Piaggio in capitalising on the ever growing business aviation market."
"Piaggio Aero would represent the first significant investment in Italy by Tata Limited. It would also be their first direct investment in an aircraft manufacturer; we are proud of this new partnership and honored for the confidence that has been expressed", said Alberto Galassi board and executive committee member of Piaggio Aero. "Once again we are proudly expanding our partnerships: two of the most important international entities, Mubadala Development of Abu Dhabi and today Tata Limited have agreed to become shareholders of Piaggio Aero increasing our company's strategic value. Tata Limited, along with Mubadala, shares Piaggio Aero's commitment and long-term vision for growth and these strategic partnerships would really create enormous possibilities for Piaggio Aero's development plans."
Piaggio Aero Industries is the only company in the world to be active in all aspects of aircraft manufacture, aircraft maintenance, aero-engines production and aero-engines repair and overhaul. Piaggio Aero has delivered more than 160 P.180 Avanti-II aircraft to customers around the world including private owners, corporations, government institutions and fractional ownership companies. Since 1998 the company has grown its order book to its current order back-log of over 100 aircraft. The company's total order book is currently valued at more than $700 million.

Grand Slam! Three UT JEM Students Win Internships with Major League Baseball
By CCI February 9, 2015
David Cobb, Troy Provost-Heron and Dargan Southard jokingly call themselves the "bro-migos" of journalism.
Now these three friends, all students in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's, School of Journalism and Electronic Media, have hit a grand slam in the internship world: Each has won a coveted internship to write for Major League Baseball's website (http://mlb.com) for the upcoming baseball season.
Each year, the league hires one intern to cover each major league team for mlb.com.
Cobb, a senior from Memphis, will be covering the St. Louis Cardinals; Provost-Heron, a junior from Weston, Florida, will be covering the Tampa Bay Rays; and Southard, a senior from Maryville, Tennessee, will be covering the Colorado Rockies.
"I've known about this opportunity since my sophomore year," said Cobb, who was a finalist for the job as a sophomore and an alternate last year. "It's probably the best sports writing internship there is. They've developed quite a following."
Southard, who was a finalist last year, said the experience could be just the foot in the door he needs to fulfill his career dreams.
"This internship is a big deal to me because it's what I want to do—be an MLB reporter who covers all the teams and travels the country," he said.
All three of the students said being chosen for the internships wasn't sheer luck. Each said he's been working hard in — and out — of the classroom to hone his journalism skills.
All three have worked for a variety of campus and area publications during their undergraduate years. All three currently cover the UT football team—Cobb for the Knoxville News Sentinel, Provost-Heron for The Daily Beacon, and Southard for The Daily Times of Maryville. And all three have developed a substantial following of sports fans on Twitter.
"Being at the games, the practices, watching people who get paid to write about athletics—all of this has prepared us a lot for this," Southard said.
Cobb agreed: "Covering UT athletics is a major thing, and I've been covering UT football since I was a sophomore.
"And we've established ourselves as journalistic people on Twitter. For the most part, I don't tweet about going to get a Chipotle or my cravings for Papa John's."
Those extracurricular gigs have demanded a lot of time; juggling the demands of work and school has made for some long days and nights.
But the three agree that real-world experience—ferreting out sports news, crafting stories and meeting deadlines—has taught them to be journalists.
"I think we've separated ourselves because of work ethic," Southard said, "These internships are the pinnacle of our college journalism careers so far."
Applying for the mlb.com internships was rigorous, the students said. First, they had to submit resumes and 750-word essays. After being chosen as finalists, they had to take a writing test. They were given 24 hours to watch one of last year's World Series games and file an 800- to 1,000-word story, incorporating game-day quotes they'd been sent.
Southard was the first to get the call. He had just sent a message to the other two when Cobb's phone rang. Within 10 minutes, Provost-Heron also got a call.
"We thought there was no way all three of us would get it," Cobb said. They celebrated by going out to dinner together that night.
The students will leave for their respective ball team cities soon after classes end.
"They'll kind of ease us in," Southard said. "The first couple of weeks we may do some sidebar coverage, some notebook stuff. After that, there will be some nights we'll be the only ones there from mlb.com."
They'll cover each home game of the season. And, if the bats cooperate, the may see their teams through the playoffs and to the World Series.

What Social Media Platforms Don't Want You to Know About Their Algorithms
Are you having a hard time understanding the value in social media due to low engagement? Does it feel like all your social media efforts have low visibility? Is it hard to understand why certain content is prioritized over yours to viewers? You're not alone.
We've heard time and time again social media is becoming an increasingly pay-to-play environment where users are forced to fork over large sums of money just to reach target audiences. While that may be partly true, real social media optimization lies in understanding each platform's algorithm. In other words, the way the platform surfaces posts in a users' feed.
Thankfully, most of the time, many social media platforms are transparent with their algorithm changes (remember Facebook's 2018 announcement?) However, it takes a little bit of outside-the-box thinking to figure out how to manipulate the algorithm to have your content go beyond its limitations.
Here's what Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram don't want you to know: you can still create impact and outsmart the algorithms with an organic-only social strategy. All it takes is a little bit of creative thinking and understanding of the algorithm!
There's one other caveat: Chances are, the algorithms you understand today will change 𑁋 in fact, it may happen periodically without warning. Social media platforms are money-making platforms, and some argue these algorithms exist to push brands to pay a premium for social ads. In theory, these algorithms should determine which content to deliver to you based on your behavior, but there are mixed opinions about what the driver is for updating the algorithms so frequently.
That being said, today we're bringing you what you need to know about current social media algorithms — but keep in mind, come 2021, this will probably change slightly. The good news? You'll already know what to investigate, and how to manipulate the platform. Bottom line: stay informed on updates from social media platforms to push your content to the top of your audience's news feed.
The biggest social network worldwide boasts 2.7 billion monthly active users – it's the social media platform where most are found online.
With the power the platform possesses, the algorithm has shifted to truly be a platform for family and friends, prioritizing updates from your circle rather than business pages. This algorithm also heavily favors any content related to people you engage with on Facebook (think: people's posts you comment on, people you direct message, etc.) Comments and reactions matter here — the more comments, the better, and the more reactions, the better. The longer the comment, the better and the more variety in reactions, even better.
Most Recent Algorithm Update:
Posts within Facebook Groups show up in newsfeeds greater than ever before.
Join relevant Facebook Groups as an individual and build your brand within groups. Content from an individual person will rank much higher than a business page post (which is almost never seen!) It's important that while doing this, you are transparent about your role and have your LinkedIn page up-to-date to show where you're currently employed and which brand you're representing.
Other Tips to Maximize Reach:
Use Facebook video (Video content is prioritized in news feeds!).
Create posts (try posing a question!) that encourages followers to leave long comments and start conversations in the comments section.
The visual-first platform boasts 1 billion monthly users — it is the second-largest platform after Facebook. Instagram is also owned by Facebook, so its algorithm has some similarities to Facebook.
While there's been some controversy over this, Instagram does still prioritize posts with the most number of likes. Likes matter, but so do comments and engagements overall. Similar to Facebook's algorithm, Instagram makes your newsfeed a very personal experience — it ranks posts higher with accounts you've engaged with in the past. Interestingly enough, Instagram also prioritizes posts under the hashtags a user follows — this is huge for brands looking to get discovered by new followers.
As part of Instagram's plan to keep you in the app, they rolled out "suggested posts" which seamlessly integrate with your feed of people you follow. In short, these posts are from accounts you don't follow, and they'll appear after you've gone through the end of your feed. This is great news for users trying to extend reach, since there may be a possibility that your post would be shared on someone's feed without them following your account. Since Instagram is owned by Facebook, there is some concern that the algorithm will start to rank brands lower, so we're all keeping an eye on this.
To potentially get your content shared to other accounts that don't follow you, focus on getting engagement, comments, likes, and shares on your content. The increased engagement will tell Instagram's algorithm that it's worth sharing with others who don't follow the account.
Invest time in researching the right hashtags for your content to be discovered. Since the algorithm prioritizes hashtags that users follow, it's important to get your content tagged under relevant hashtags for your posts to be discoverable.
Use Instagram stories to engage with your followers organically, without disrupting the overall feel of your feed.
Keep captions meaningful. Length doesn't matter in the algorithm, just make it relevant and useful to those consuming the content.
Ask questions and encourage followers to comment and tag others in the comments section to beat the algorithm and expand reach.
Consistency is key. Users who don't post frequently are deranked when they do decide to post.
The world's largest professional network has over 706 million users in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Even better, Hubspot uncovered that LinkedIn is 277% more effective at generating leads than Facebook and Twitter — for most businesses, this is the place to be.
Consistency is key here. The algorithm favors people who post frequently on LinkedIn, even if their posts don't have tons of engagement. Aim for consistency over likes. This algorithm is similar to Facebook's where it prioritizes updates from users you've engaged with in the past, in addition to those who post frequently. Those viral LinkedIn updates you see? This platform loves to push updates that have a large number of engagements (comments and reactions) to the top of each person's news feed. However, more reactions isn't always better. Like Facebook, lengthy comments are a way to get your updates seen. And like Facebook, a business profile isn't going to get higher visibility over an individual person's update.
Video no longer holds as much weight in being ranked higher on the news feed. Now, LinkedIn videos must have significant engagement to be ranked higher, rather than the old algorithm that simply favored all video over text and static image posts. Video is still important, just not as important.
To increase visibility on a video, try tagging people (if a C-Suite level executive engages with your post, they have a higher pull in the algorithm and will help you increase your reach!) If video isn't reaching most, try posting text-only posts, these types of posts are still the top hitter in terms of reach.
Create content that inspires conversation and comments.
Only post external links sparingly, the algorithm doesn't favor redirecting people to another landing page. Text-only LinkedIn updates are the way to go.
Use C-suite executives' LinkedIn individual profiles to increase reach and engagement, rather than just relying on the business page.
Post frequently. If you're not active, LinkedIn demotes your updates on the news feed ranking.
The breaking-news as-it-happens platform has 330 million monthly active users and 145 million daily active users. Twitter has shifted over the last few years to be a source for users to discover today's trending stories — the biggest news and events. While people do still use it for personal reasons, most follow big brands, reputable sources, and influencers to consume content they find most important to them.
The key to being successful here is to make sure you're being retweeted. Retweets gain impressions from followers of the accounts that retweeted your tweet — you're no longer just reaching your following.
Earlier this year, Twitter enabled the capability for iOS users to toggle between the top tweets and recent tweets, altering how the news feed was organized. Otherwise, the top thing about Twitter remains true: frequency matters. The algorithm is designed to prioritize tweets within the last 24 hours (that also have great engagement!) — so keep tweetin'!
Try tweeting anywhere from 2 to 6 times per day. This may seem like a lot, but if your audience is on Twitter, frequency is the only way to beat the algorithm organically.
Pose tweets that ask questions to get people talking (think about hosting a Twitter chat if this makes sense for your audience).
Create Twitter polls to boost engagement and understand your audience better.
Create visually-appealing tweets to stop people scrolling aimlessly.
Tweet, tweet, tweet. They should be quick tweets — remember your followers aren't spending more than a few minutes looking at their feed at a time and only a few seconds on your tweet. Just tweet it (while staying in-line with your brands persona and messaging!).
Learn to Beat the Algorithms
Each platform holds different rules and treats activity differently, and just when we think we understand the current rules, these platforms will go and switch things up on us! It's important to stay informed about what's next in social media and use these algorithms to further your brand. It's no longer valid to say social media is useless unless you pay for ads — there's plenty that can be done to increase visibility on your brand, it just requires a little bit of research, planning, and a whole lot of strategic thinking.

Yes, today's selection of facts includes sweaty palms and underarms.
You may be surprised by these and some of the other offerings below.
A person can only remember
four things at a time.
And speaking of four,
of the four smokestacks on the Titanic,
only three were real working chimneys,
the fourth was totally for decoration only.
Palm sweat can be triggered by two separate things,
your body trying to control its temperature
or trying to cope with emotional stress,
both of which are closely linked.
In July of 1518 a woman began to
dance in the street in Stasbourg.
She was eventually joined by about 400 dancers.
It's not clear exactly how many people died
due to this 'dancing plague', but some
definitely died from heart attack,
stroke or exhaustion.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of
the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
and the last one still in existence.
In his entire career (so far) James Bond
has been shot at 4,662 times.
The blue whale has the largest heart
weighing over 1,500 pounds.
Although polar bears are usually born on land,
they spend most of their time at sea.
Their scientific name Ursus Maritimus
means 'maritime bear'.
When a person gets right to the precise point
or says something that is verified as correct it is
often said that they have 'hit the nail on the head'.
The exact origin of the phrase is not known,
but it appeared for the first time in print in
1438 in The Book of Margery Kempe.
7,000 deaths occur each year because
of doctors' sloppy handwriting.
According to the Australian census,
Melbourne has the largest Greek population
outside Greece with over 150,000 people
being of Greek origin, which technically
makes Melbourne the sixth biggest city
in terms of Greek population.
The sweat from a man's underarm
can help women relax,
boost their mood and
help regulate their menstrual cycle,
if applied to her lips.
There you are ladies, now you know.
Mongol fleets tried to conquer Japan
twice in 7 years, but both times
they were stopped by a typhoon.
These events were described as
Kamikaze or 'Divine Wind'.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams
both died on July 4th
on the 50th Anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence.
Psy's "Gangnam Style" is
the most watched YouTube video ever
with nearly 2.2 billion views and counting.

I suppose I should have said Panama hats off because that's one of today's questions.
You will also need to have a sprinkling of knowledge about marbles, wars, cooking and even fairytales to stack up the points today.
But if you get stuck, as always, you can find the answers waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down below, but please NO cheating!
Enjoy and good luck.
Q. 1: An easy one to start with, where did Panama hats originate?
Q. 2: What are toy marbles made from?
Q. 3: How long did the '100 Years War' last?
a) 106 years b) 116 years c) 126 years
Q. 4: what is the only mobile National Monument in the USA?
Q. 5: Here's one for all you beer drinkers, in what month is the world famous 'Munich Oktoberfest' beer festival held?
Q. 6: It contains beef or pork, but what is the main ingredient of the thick and spicy soup known as 'Borscht' that originated in Ukraine but is also popular in many Eastern and Central European countries.
Q. 7: What type of building is a 'picture palace'?
Q. 8: From which part of its body does a cow, and presumably also a bull, sweat?
Q. 9: How many sides has a 'Prism'?
Q. 10: What type of creature is a 'horned toad'?
Q. 11: Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what?
Q. 12: What sort of fruit is a 'Chinese gooseberry'?
Q. 13: In the original French medieval version of the story of 'Cinderella' (which gave us the modern Western version) what were Cinderella's slippers made from?
Q. 14: In sunscreen lotions, what does the abbreviation 'SPF' stand for?
Q. 15: What do bullet proof vests, windshield wipers and laser printers have in common?
Q. 16: What is the most prevalent infectious disease in the UK?
Q. 17: A 'mahout' is a person who works with and rides what?
Q. 18: How many times was Richard Burton nominated for an Oscar and how many times did he win? (A point for each correct answer.)
Q. 19: Which breed of cats, rabbits, and goats have the same name?
Q. 20: Finally, a guy is condemned to death and has three rooms to choose from and he must choose one of them. Room #1 contains a fiery inferno; room #2 contains 50 Assassins with loaded guns; and room #3 contains hungry lions that haven't eaten in three months. Which room should he choose?
A. 1: Okay, maybe not so easy, they originated in Ecuador.
A. 2: Although called 'marbles' they are made from 'glass'.
A. 3: The correct answer is b) 116 years.
A. 4: San Francisco cable cars.
A. 5: In September.
A. 6: The main ingredient of 'Borscht' is beetroot.
A. 7: It would be understandable if you said art gallery, but in fact a 'picture palace' was the name given to a cinema or theater for showing movies.
A. 8: Its nose.
A. 9: Five.
A. 10: A 'horned toad' is a lizard.
A. 11: Their birthplace.
A. 12: It is a Kiwifruit. It originated in China but renamed kiwifruit by growers/exporters in New Zealand.
A. 13: They were made from squirrel fur which when you think about it is a lot more sensible than glass. The reason we ended up with a glass slipper is because the French word for squirrel fur is 'vair', which was misunderstood by Charles Perrault, writer of the modern version, to be verre, which means glass. You got it wrong Charlie and I guess so did most people who answered this question!
A. 14: 'SPF' stands for Sun Protection Factor.
A. 15: They were all invented by women.
A. 16: The Common Cold.
A. 17: Elephants.
A. 18: Richard Burton was nominated seven times for an Oscar and surprisingly never won any. The correct answers are 7 and 0.
A. 19: Angora.
A. 20: He should choose room #3 because the lions would be dead if they hadn't eaten in three months.

The facts are indeed here.
Most Tuesdays in fact (no pun intended, that's Thursdays!).
A very random selection of hopefully interesting things to peruse, perhaps with a nice cup of coffee.
Dogs don't sweat through their tongue.
Most of their sweat glands are located in their foot pads.
While panting does keep them cool,
panting is not equivalent to sweating.
The word "Berserk" comes from ancient Norse fighters
who were known as Berserkers
800,000 brave men risked their lives
by exposing themselves to radiation
in order to contain the Chernobyl disaster.
25,000 of these have died (20 percent by suicide)
and 70,000 are disabled.
The environmental group Greenpeace places the
eventual death toll at 93,000 cancer deaths world wide,
but surprisingly, the overall rate of cancer deaths
and other health effects related to the Chernobyl accident
is lower than initially feared.
The average woman is 5 inches shorter
than the average man.
On her 112th jump South African skydiver,
Christine McKenzie's main and reserve
parachutes both failed to deploy.
As she raced towards earth from a height
of about 11,000 feet, she fell on power lines.
She was not electrocuted,
but instead the power lines helped
brake her fall and save her life.
At any given time your brain
can generate up to 25 watts of power.
That's enough to power a lightbulb.
Martin Bormann, the highest ranking Nazi official
who wasn't accounted for after World War II
was thought to have gone into hiding
somewhere in South America
and sightings had been reported for years.
In 1999, however, his body was found
in an unmarked grave near the bunker
where Hitler committed suicide.
Bats aren't blind.
While many species do use echolocation,
some have excellent night vision
and don't rely on echolocation at all.
British pro wrestler Mal "King Kong" Kirk
was squished to death under the belly
of Shirley "Big Daddy" Crabtree when
Crabtree performed his signature "belly slam"
There's a gas cloud in the constellation of Aquila
that contains enough alcohol to make
400 trillion trillion pints of beer.
(Now that's my kinda gas cloud!)
When you are looking at someone you love,
your pupils dilate…
they do the same when
you are looking at someone you hate!
The statue of Cinderella at Disney
looks sad to adults,
but from a child's view she is
happily smiling and wearing a crown.
A Japanese man recently sued the
National Broadcasting Company
for the mental distress they caused him
by using too many English words in their programs
The Earth isn't actually orbiting around the Sun.
It's orbiting around the Solar System's center of mass
known as the Barycenter.
Although this point often falls within the mass of the Sun,
it can be shifted by the pull of larger planets.
Therefore, at least some of the time,
everything in the solar system
is orbiting around empty space
The Silbo language of La Gomera
off the coast of Spain
consists entirely of whistles.

The female voice needs to be heard: Durocher
Archbishop Durocher
By Michael Swan, The Catholic Register
Archbishop Paul-André Durocher loves women. He wants to hear their voices, take their advice and see them active in the Church.
"Let us accept Pope Francis' invitation to elaborate in our churches a true synodality in which all voices are heard, those of women too," the archbishop of Gatineau wrote in the Feb. 1 issue of the Vatican's semi-official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.
Durocher was invited to contribute to one of the Church's most influential organs by Lucetta Scaraffia, editor of the paper's monthly supplement called "Women Church World." Scaraffia is the Christian feminist who has almost single-handedly redeemed the name of feminism inside the Vatican.
For the Canadian archbishop the invitation was a chance to push his arguments for women in the Church a little deeper than his headline-grabbing proposal to ordain women deacons launched at the beginning of last year's Synod on the Family.
Durocher's proposal at that time went beyond just the idea of women deacons and was concerned mainly with violence against women in the family.
When the media reached for a headline in his three-minute speech, Durocher was left frustrated by the shallowness of the resulting debate.
This time Durocher wrote his own headline, "Speaking, advising and deciding — The future of women in the Church."
Durocher's proposals this time include: married couples preaching in the context of a homily at Mass; decision-making roles for women at the Vatican and in dioceses around the world; more women as speakers and organizers of Catholic conferences and events; ex-officio roles for leaders of women's religious congregations, particularly the International Union of Superiors General; and invitations to women to attend and participate in meetings of bishops' conferences around the world.
"I saw this as an occasion to look at other aspects than simply the question of ordination of women to the diaconate," he told The Catholic Register.
Whether women might be ordained as deacons is an open question debated seriously by canon lawyers, theologians and historians. Durocher recognizes it "would be a huge step within the Church."
But in his essay, Durocher wanted to look at "smaller steps that we could take without changing any structures, any discipline within the Church."
So far, Durocher is only talking about possibilities. If you want to hear a woman or a married couple preach next Sunday, don't rush off to Gatineau's St. Joseph Cathedral.
"I also very much believe in Church unity," the archbishop said. "I don't think it's proper for people to be setting out in directions of their own choosing… We need to debate these ideas and work together."
There's plenty of room within Church practice, liturgical and canon law for experimentation, said Durocher.
"There's a lot of space for creativity. There's a lot of space for innovation without having to break down or to go against Church discipline," he said.
In fact, when it comes to women attending plenary meetings and advising bishops' conferences, that's already a reality in Canada.
"The CCCB plenary assembly has for many years invited women to their annual meeting," said Canadian Catholic Conference of Bishops spokesman René Laprise. But that isn't necessarily the case in every part of the world, said Durocher.
The Canadian prelate isn't trying to win over women who have dismissed the Church as hopelessly patriarchal — a boys' club bonded by fear and suspicion of women. But he does want to talk with women who are frustrated with the pace of change.
"It's important to keep dialogue going with anybody who doesn't agree with what's going on in the Church — to be able to truly understand and to be able to deepen our own understanding," he said. "It is in dialogue and it is in trying to explain where we're coming from that we understand ourselves better."
The Pope's call for bishops to speak boldly and frankly, and listen with humility, at the beginning of the 2014 Extraordinary Synod on the Family was not just intended for bishops behind closed doors. It was a call for a more joyful, evangelical and fearless Church that revels in ordinary, human conversation, Durocher said.
"I don't think we should ever shy away from that kind of dialogue," said Durocher. "I don't think the purpose of this is to somehow kind of bring back to the fold people who have left. I think for me the question is, we as a Church are impoverishing ourselves by not giving greater space to the voices of women within the decisionmaking processes of the Church."

There's nothing more iconically Eastern Shore than seafood, harvested fresh from the Bay.
From simply prepared rockfish and flounder to our crab cakes - which are becoming quite well-known in the Chesapeake region - you're going to love indulging in the best the Bay has to offer.
But there's no finer way to enjoy St. Michaels and the Eastern Shore than to treat yourself to freshly harvested oysters.
Every oyster we serve at Inn at Perry Cabin travels no more than 12 miles and is harvested from Harris Creek or other nearby creeks and estuaries.
Sourcing our oysters so close to home helps to cultivate and support our community, and also enables the oysters to retain their fresh, delicious flavor.
Working with local harvesters also comes with other benefits, like seeing how oysters come to be. At Phillips Wharf, for example, guests are welcome to tour the oyster growing and harvesting operation and even harvest some oysters for themselves. If you're interested in getting a feel for the Eastern Shore, it's an experience you won't soon forget.
Of course, nothing beats sitting down and actually tasting the oysters. If you find yourself at one of our restaurants while they're in-season, we recommend ordering at least dozen to share and pairing them with a glass of white wine or bubbly recommended by our Sommelier. Enjoy!

IO Data Centers is splitting into two companies as a way to attract investors and resolve a conflict that may have been holding back its business.
IO has two main businesses today. One part sells collocation services from a network of data centers it operates. The other sells modular hardware and data center infrastructure management software that other companies use in their own data centers.
Going forward, IO will focus on selling the collocation services, while a new company it's forming, called BaseLayer, will sell the modular hardware and DCIM products, said George Slessman, CEO and cofounder of IO, in an interview.
IO has also scuppered plans for a public offering that it had been planning earlier this year, he said. He believes splitting the company in two will make it more attractive to investors and allow it to thrive as a private company.
IO started out in 2007 selling collocation services from a data center in Phoenix. The colo industry has been expanding as more companies outsource their data center operations, and IO now has five data centers -- four in the U.S. and one in Singapore -- with a sixth to open in the U.K. next year.
It designed the hardware and DCIM software for use in its own data centers, but since 2012 it's been selling them to other companies as well. The modules look like shipping containers and are used to quickly expand power, compute and cooling capacity. Because they're self-contained units, they can also be very energy efficient.
The two sides of the business appear complementary, but lately they've been getting in each other's way. Other colo providers are prime customers for IO's hardware and DCIM products, but because they compete with its collocation services, some are reluctant to give IO their business, Slessman said. By splitting the company in two, it expects to avoid that conflict.
The move may also help to clear up some confusion in the market. IO has been pushing its DCIM products so hard -- promoting them at conferences, for instance -- that some customers have wondered if it was getting out of the colo business. That's not the case at all, Slessman says, pointing to its new U.K. data center as evidence.
But there's also an investment motive for the break-up. As IO explored going public, it realized it has two very different businesses that appealed to different types of investors. The colo business has steady recurring revenues but requires big up-front capital costs to build new data centers. The products business requires less up-front investment, but the revenue stream is less predictable.
If investors can choose which business they invest in, the thinking goes, more of them will be willing to do so. Whether that turns out to be the case remains to be seen.
As for the IPO, Slessman said he's simply not interested in it. "The process is very hard for dynamic, younger companies to be successful in," he said. "It's much easier for companies with billions in revenue and a visible revenue stream." He also pointed to strict regulations that public companies have to comply with.
The company now has no plans to go public and probably will remain private for at least two years, he said.
Being private means IO doesn't publish its financial results, but Slessman said the collocation business has been growing more than 50 percent a year since 2007 and has more than 700 customers. That makes it the second-largest private colo provider after Global Switch, he says -- though Global Switch is significantly bigger.
The market for DCIM software is also growing, though not as quickly as some expected. The software can keep track of all the hardware assets in a data center and monitor energy use to help reduce costs. But some companies have found setting up the software to be too complicated, said IDC analyst Jennifer Koppy.
IO isn't one of the more established players in the DCIM market, but there's still room for smaller innovators, she said. And BaseLayer will be able to sell its DCIM software along with the hardware modules it manages, which will give it a boost, Koppy said.
IO has already been operating as two companies, and the split will be complete from a legal perspective early next year, Slessman said. He'll continue to run IO, while Bill Slessman, his brother, who was IO's CTO and is one of its founders, will be CEO of BaseLayer.

Bucking the trend by pouring it straight
In Starbucked, a Portlander chronicles the rise of the coffee chain we hate to love.
Sam Bridges
Taylor Clark was a teenager growing up in Ashland when he was Starbucked for the first time.
Bumper stickers all over town scolded: Friends Don't Let Friends Go to Starbucks. The now-familiar pattern followed: Within a month, people were scraping the stickers off with one hand, holding a steaming green-and-white cup in the other. Clark was among them. Like millions of coffee lovers around the world, he fell for the seductive appeal of this carefully sculpted retail atmosphere.
Ten years later, Clark, now 27 and living in Portland, can't stop talking about Starbucks – even if he wants to. His lively 304-page book, Starbucked: The Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture, is hot.
Published by Little, Brown and Company, the book examines the cultural clout of Starbucks as well as the evil-empire charges lobbed at the company. It is drawing thoughtful press in Portland (not a given for local authors) and beyond.
Clark packed the house at a recent appearance at Powell's Books on Hawthorne. (That's the funky Southeast Portland branch of the mother ship in the Pearl District.) The back-and-forth between Clark and the audience was taped for later airing on C-SPAN.
Clark, who hatched the idea for the book while working at Willamette Week (which ran an excerpt), gives Seattle-based Starbucks a fair shake – despite a firm personal preference for Stumptown Coffee and its un-cookie-cutter Portland coffee houses – and avoids the cliché of portraying the mega-chain as a victim of its own success.
His exploration traces the company's history from its quiet start at Pike Place Market in March 1971. Founders Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegel, and Gordon Bowker opened the store as Starbucks Coffee, Tea and Spice. Their notion was to concentrate on selling better-than-usual coffee by the pound, emulating Alfred Peet's coffee store in Berkeley, Calif. (Peet, the Dutch founder of Peet's Coffee & Tea, is credited as the grandfather of specialty coffee. He died in Ashland, Ore., in September.) But when CEO Howard Schultz took control of the company in 1987, he envisioned Starbucks as much more than just a coffee-bean retailer.
During the first boom years in the mid-1990s, upper management didn't always welcome the changes. As Clark puts it: "They spent one and a half days arguing over using non-fat milk. The spirit of innovation was not exactly roaming free."
But the invention of the Frappuccino, an impromptu remedy for customers who wanted to beat the heat in a Santa Monica Starbucks, revolutionized the business model and showed that product diversity would pay off in very big ways. That's when the company went from "small time latte peddler to a caffeine dynamo."
Clark does point out missteps by the company: a carbonated coffee drink that fell flat; the forgettable magazine called Joe; the so-not-happening Café Starbucks restaurants. Those abandoned experiments would have enormous negative consequences for most chains, of course, but this ship is so big that it takes more than a rogue wave to put it off course.
Each Starbucks brings in an average $1 million a year, and Clark reports that Starbucks drive-thru operations make even more, averaging $1.3 million. Even so, he believes drive-thrus could cause "a crisis in the company," by undermining the magic of each Starbucks as a gathering place – de facto community centers, really – where patrons can go to feel connected to others.
Clark also wonders about the future wisdom of the consistency mania evidenced by the chain. Quality control is one thing, but using machines to "pull" shots of espresso instead of human-erring baristas is another. When Howard Schultz visited a Shanghai Starbucks, he gave it high praise: "You would have thought you were in New York." Not everyone finds that a positive. Clark, for one, characterizes it as "chilling."
The release of "Starbucked," which its author calls a "business book, without being a business book," hasn't drawn any response from the company. Clark isn't surprised. "I haven't heard from Starbucks and I don't expect to hear from Starbucks. I don't think there's anything in it for them."

Contactless transactions have overtaken chip and pin payments for the first time in the UK, according to payment processing company Worldpay.
Worldpay says that contactless usage jumped by 30% between June 2017 and June 2018 and now accounts for the largest number of transactions of all the card payment options.
Contactless payment cards were first introduced by Barclaycard in 2007 and their usage has surged in recent years following increases in the spending limit (now £30) and the number of businesses that accept them.
Worldpay says that fashion retailers have seen the greatest shift from chip and pin to contactless, with the sector seeing a 415% year-on-year increase.
Betting shops and department stores also saw significant growth of mobile contactless payments.
The company says the trend towards tap-and-go is being seen nationwide, with Northern Ireland recording the biggest increase in both contactless and mobile contactless transactions.
Steve Newton, executive vice president at Worldpay says: "The data clearly shows that shoppers are moving towards more convenient forms of payment. This aligns to what we're seeing in a number of sectors: time-poor consumers want instant access to their goods.
"Whether buying clothes or booking holidays, speed and ease are the watch words for meeting consumer expectations. The popularity of online shopping, mobile payments and click-and-collect is testament to this."
Worldpay predicts that during the final six months of 2018 UK shoppers could spend up to £38.5 billion via contactless transactions. Part of this growth comes from the rise in use of mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay, which have seen a 114% increase on the high street in the year to the end of June.
The news comes after trade body UK Finance revealed that the number of contactless cards in the UK has grown to 111 million as of June 2017. Contactless now accounts for 34% of all card transactions in the UK.
However, the rise of contactless payments is not good news for everyone.
As a result of more and more people turning to contactless payments, demand for ATM withdrawals is falling.
This has led to cash machines closing at a rate of 250 a month as they become unprofitable to run, according to cash machine network provider Link.
Experts have warned that whole communities could be left without access to cash, affecting over two million people who are dependent on it for their day-to-day shopping.


Though both 30 Minutes or Less and Gangster Squad mostly failed to impress audiences and critics, director Ruben Fleischer is pressing on with a new project at Disney. Still riding the wave of his success with Zombieland, the filmmaker is headed into more family friendly territory with Overnight, a film from Original Film producer Neal Moritz (21 Jump Street), which Variety simply describes as Home Alone in a toy store. But rather than focusing on just a kid, this time it's a father and son who win the chance to sleepover in some sort of amazing toy store. But it just so happens to be the night some guys try to rob it.
We already saw a bit of toy store heist action in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York when The Sticky Bandits tried to rob Duncan's Toy Chest (five floors of cash), but we're betting the toy store in question (said to be like an FAO Schwartz) will allow for plenty of fun traps and action to stop the thieves. Fleischer hasn't proven to be a great action director, but he's a solid comedy guy, so maybe he can finally bridge the two the right way for Disney. The project is just developing now, so we'll let you know when a cast surfaces.
Fleischer is sadly looking more and more like a one trick pony.


It's Christmas Eve, most stores are closing at 6PM Local Time or even earlier, and won't be open again until after Christmas. That means that you are going to need to find something quick for those that are still on your list. Luckily, gift cards don't need shipping and will be in your inbox in about five minutes. Or you can print them out and give them to those that you'll be seeing on Christmas Day, tomorrow. A lot of times, these can be better gifts than picking out the "perfect" gift for someone. Think about it. If you are buying clothes for someone, it may not be their size, or it might not be something they like, but a $50 gift card to some place like Kohls' or Walmart will allow them to buy clothes that they would wear, and its in their size.
The good thing here is that Amazon has a ton of gift cards available, not just for using on Amazon's website, but also for other retailers, stores and restaurants. This includes Starbucks, Dunkin', Outback Steakhouse, Google Play, iTunes, AMC and so much more. And to top it off, there are some that are discounted now, so you can get a $25 gift card for less than $25. For example, if you use the promo code GOOGLE when buying a $25 Google Play Gift Card, you can get it for just $20 (plus taxes of course). You can get $7.50 off of a $50 Regal gift card with the promo code MOVIE right now as well. Of course, there are also a ton of Amazon gift cards available, because who wouldn't want an Amazon Gift Card right now?
If you don't want to grab a gift card, you can also give the gift of Prime. You can give out a three-month Prime membership for $39 or a full year for $119. Those are the regular prices for Prime, so you aren't getting a discount unfortunately. But given everything that Prime includes these days, this is definitely a really great gift to give out this year. Not only do you get unlimited two-day shipping from Amazon and discounted next day or same-day shipping in some areas, but also Amazon Prime Video with loads of movies and TV shows, unlimited photo storage and so much more with Prime. If you know anyone that is heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem this is a great gift. And even if they already have Prime, this can be added onto their account, so they won't need to pay again for a year or so. Which is also pretty sweet.
There are some stores that are still open today, and offering up some pretty good discounts as well. So if you aren't interested in gift cards, keep it locked to Android Headlines. We have been posting the best deals available at stores that you can pick up today. That includes a Google Home Hub from Best Buy for $99, or a Xbox One X from Walmart for $399, just to name a few.


According to the Hindu holy book, Ramayana, centuries ago Lord Ram destroyed the evil king Ravana on the 10th day of the Ashvin month. Since then this day is called Dussehra or Vijayadashmi. This day is marked as victory of good over evil. In Sanskrit, Dussehra means 'Ravana's defeat'.
According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Rama with his wife Sita and his brother Laxman were exiled from the kingdom of Ayodhyafor 14 years. After peacefully spending 13 years in the forest, one fine day the evil king Ravana, who was seeking for revenge from Rama, kidnapped Goddess Sita. After a blood shedding battle, Lord Rama on Vijayadashmi defeated Ravana.
At this time, every street in India is beautifully lit up and people are dressed up to welcome this joyful festival. You can see people going to see the Ramlila. Ramlila is a fare with rides, food, games and a dramatic folk which re-enacts the life of Lord Rama and how he finned Ravana. You get the best street food with Indian spices. The capital city is equally energized when celebrating Dussehra. There are many Ramlila grounds in the city with several committee performing. The play is stretched across 10 days, depicting every important aspect of Lord Rama's life as written in the Ramayana.
One of the best Ramlilas in Delhi takes place at the Red Fort Grounds organized by Luv Kush Ram Lila Committee. They host a lavish show with lights, music and amazing direction. This year with amazing technologies and many Bollywood celebrities, Luv Kush Ram Lila committe will once again be the talk of the town.
The Ramlila goes on for 10 days and ends with a big bang. On the day of Dussehra, enormous straw figures of King Ravana, his son Meghnath and brother Kumbhkarana are burnt down to ashes which indicates victory of Lord Rama. The two accompany the king because they supported Ravana in kidnapping Goddess Sita.

How clean water is saving lives in Africa
Posted March 31, 2022 March 31, 2022 ASEA
It isn't easy to think about having to walk miles to fetch water, yet millions worldwide do it every day. Bringing clean water and sustainable solutions to suffering communities like those in Africa is part of the Advancing Life Foundation's initiative to have an impact and make a difference. Our newest partnership with Engage Now Africa is helping provide clean drinking water to vulnerable communities. Together, we are proud to be investing in this cause.
Engage Now Africa partnership
Engage Now Africa (ENA) is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to rescue, heal, and lift the most vulnerable children and families living in sub-Saharan Africa. Helping with basic needs like food and water to keep kids in school, Engage Now Africa builds sustainable programs that engage and empower at-risk children and families. IN FEBRUARY, the ASEA Advancing Life Foundation donated funds to install five wells in Sierra Leone. Volunteers have been working with locals to construct deep-well boreholes and canals that provide a reliable water source in the rural areas of Kafuta and Swenguim, areas just north of Port Loko. The foundation also donated five wells in Northern Ghana.
Clean water, healthier lives
Typically when families fetch drinking water, it is transported by canoes which take hours to go over the distance. They must keep watering the ground they farm on most of the time, as it'll become dry again the next day since there is no adequate water source.
The development of wells seriously reduces field walking time and time spent fetching water. By installing these wells, an estimated 21,000 people will see an improvement in their daily lives. The villages of Sukuma Prayfield, Simbo Town, Brima Town, Mendewa, and Mendewa Layout make up the populations that will benefit from the donated freshwater wells.
While this specific project directly helps women and girls—whose job is to collect water— the community will be vastly improved by having access to clean drinking water. These wells will help with safer personal hygiene, sanitation, and, ultimately, people's health. When people are healthy, they can focus their efforts on attending school, working, and using their money to provide for their families rather than paying for costly medical bills.
Give the gift of hope
We all give for different reasons. If you're passionate about making a difference in people's lives, a monthly recurring donation to the Advancing Life Foundation is great way to contribute. You can make an even more significant impact when joining the Donor Alliance. Regular donations create immediate funds and help us prevent any lapse in caring for our charitable causes.
Join the ASEA Advancing Life Foundation Donor Alliance and help us achieve security, continuity, and predictability in funding life-saving, life-changing programs.

Esports' Match-fixing Problem Exposed by Korean Prosecutors Report
Posted on: April 25, 2016, 04:57h.
Last updated on: April 25, 2016, 04:59h.

A Korean police report into a StarCraft match-fixing scandal makes depressing reading for followers of esports and the nascent betting industry that is growing up around professional video gaming.
In January, Lee "Life" Seung Hyun, 19, the 2014 world champion and 2015 runner-up, was arrested by authorities on suspicion of throwing matches to benefit a betting syndicate.
He was indicted over the weekend along with another top player, Bung "Bbyong" Woo Yong, 23, and eight others, including financial backers and brokers. Seung Hyun is accused of throwing two matches during the KeSPA Cup, for which he received $60,000 from the gambling ring. Woo Yong has been charged with throwing one match, in January, for around $26,000.
Shady Dealings
The prosecutor's report describes in detail how the deals went down. The two players were approached by brokers who initially pretended to be fans and who persuaded them to throw the matches on behalf of their financial backers.
"The crimes were perpetrated with clear division of roles: Financial backers to put up the compensation for match-fixing, brokers to solicit the match-fixing and transfer the funds, and an employee in charge of receiving gambling funds and placing bets on gambling sites," said the report.
The ring placed multiple bets on the fixed games on multiple online gambling sites. The largest individual bet on the crooked matches was around $87,000.
Esports, it seems, is particularly vulnerable to match-fixing because of the relative low prize money on offer to its top players, particularly in smaller tournaments, when compared with world class athletes in major sports. As editor of Teamliquid.net Kwanghee Woo tweeted this week, "the fee to throw matches in the KeSPA Cup was seven times the prize money for first place."
System Encourages Cheating
Meanwhile, esports journalist Rob Zacny pointed out in an article for kotaku.com that because prize money in esports is so top heavy and "winner-takes-all," players are almost encouraged to cheat in order to mitigate risk.
"There may not be enough money to go around StarCraft to create a financial incentive to resist gambling rings. But right now, it feels like StarCraft is drowning in gambling money, and the compensation for all but the winning players is so poor that a broker's offer could look like a very attractive way of mitigating risk," he said.
"What is losing a single game in the round of 32 or 16 next to $30,000, when most players would be lucky to get a quarter of that playing honestly? And when the math is skewed that badly towards cheating, how do you clean up the game?"
Esports, it seems, has a very big match-fixing problem, and the indictments this week were the latest in a long line of high-profile scandals. Depressingly, the players themselves, according to the prosecutor's report, were ultimately persuaded to come on board with the scheme because the brokers told them "everyone is doing it."

As you may already know, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology can save time and boost your sales, customer service, finance, and human resources departments' productivity without the need to hire more staffers.
The latest statistics related to CRM are telling: CRM software revenues recently surpassed database management technology as the largest of all software markets.
It is no surprise that CRM is the fastest growing software market. According to industry experts, CRM revenues are expected to reach approximately $80 billion within the next seven years.
In addition to the obvious advantages of using a CRM, did you know that one incredibly simple way to enhance productivity and increase efficiency is through the use of CRM automated workflows?
Workflows make it easy to streamline your business processes and boost the efficiency of your resources by reducing manual tasks that can lead to mistakes and oversights. In a nutshell, workflows are a set of conditions, rules, and actions that give you the power to automate your organization's business processes.
With workflows, you can automate a wide range of tedious, manual tasks. And you can trigger them manually or automatically, depending on your organization's needs and the situation. Workflow examples range from creating or updating records, developing tasks or activities, sending emails, tracking the approval process, and much more.
Generally, workflows are relatively easy to set up and can save you time and effort in countless ways. This savings can add up quickly.
While CRM technology is increasing in popularity, it is often equipped with far-reaching capabilities that many organizations do not know how to fully utilize – which can lead to an inefficient system.
Launch Tasks and Activities. You can create activities automatically to be carried out by particular resources when certain conditions are met. For instance, you can use this type of workflow as a reminder or notification that a team member needs to perform a task, like an approval or a phone call. Another scenario can be seen in the ordering process, which can be sent via various approval routes depending on the amount. If you integrate your CRM with your enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, the customer ordering process can be streamlined from sales request through quotes, work orders, and inventory.
You also can initiate follow-ups through workflows to remind staff members to reach out to specific clients. This method optimizes your customer service experience by allowing you to ensure that your clients are satisfied before closing out a service request.
Create and Update Your Records. Workflows can automate the way you create new records, such as new clients, to ensure the standardization of the process. You can also use them to automatically update your client records or change the type. A good example might be when an opportunity is achieved and you convert them to a client. By automating these types of processes, you can have peace of mind that your client accounts are current and error-free, while saving valuable time that you can dedicate to other tasks.
Automate Emails and Alerts. Email notifications can easily be set up – they are a smart way to enhance your overall operations. With regards to communications you send to clients, email alerts help you quickly touch base about issues or events in an efficient manner with minimal effort. For instance, you can automatically send out welcome emails to new customers or notify them that you are currently handling their support case. You can also send relevant in-house team members emails to remind them to perform a task or make them aware of a change.
Reduce duplicates. At one point or another, it is very likely that you'll encounter duplicate records in your system. Also, we all know that entering data manually can get costly and the monotony of data entry makes it an error-prone task. To minimize duplicate entries, automated workflows can help you streamline as much data entry as possible. While it may not be possible to entirely eliminate data entry within your organization, with the appropriate automated system and processes, such as workflows, you can remove the human factor, and further reduce errors and labor costs.
Setting up workflow automation to each of your department's daily business processes can reduce the number of tasks your employees would otherwise be required to do manually, freeing them up to dedicate more time to value-added tasks and goals.
While the benefits of workflows are extensive, the beauty is that many fundamental tasks in CRMs can be automated. This strategy gives various departments the necessary time and tools to grow your company in the most effective, efficient manner possible.
