The good and bad of nuclear energy
Whilst there are a ton of benefits and drawbacks of nuclear electricity today, there are a lot of industrialised countries which rely closely on nuclear vitality to create the broad amounts of electrical ability they require just to continue to keep the lights on in their country. It is genuine that there are some ethical and political considerations concerning the use of nuclear electric power stations to electric power our world, these are largely born from the negative image the nuclear industry has specified above latest several years.
Quite a few considered long back that nuclear energy was the solution to the worlds electrical power crisis. The enormous amounts of energy that could be developed from a small quantity of uranium was observed as the long term way to ability our plant as the continual burning of fossil fuels these kinds of as coal, oil and all-natural gasoline would see them at some point run out.
Nuclear power was when regarded as to be an substitute to these standard fossil fuels, and was as a result identified as an alternate vitality supply together with wind energy and photo voltaic energy. But nuclear ability is not a type of choice power.
While it is accurate that nuclear vitality is a cleaner substitute to burning fossil fuels and that nuclear electric power crops do not pollute the air with poisonous carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxide emissions as do fossil fuels, uranium is even now a finite organic useful resource of the earth, and is becoming depleted just like coal just about every working day. So nuclear electrical power nonetheless falls into the fossil gasoline classification just like coal and as these kinds of are not able to be classed as a variety of substitute electrical power.
Although it can not be courses as an alternative electrical power, there are even now many pros to utilizing nuclear energy but all is not good and there are also some down sides far too as detailed below.
Positive aspects of Nuclear Ability
Nuclear fusion releases monumental quantities of warmth which is made use of to switch water into steam to generate turbines and electrical turbines with a single nuclear reactor creating much more electricity for every device of fat than common fossil fuels.
The generation of nuclear strength does not involve the burning of fossil fuels and so does not pollute the environment with toxic greenhouse gases these as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide building it a a great deal cleaner gasoline than other kinds of electrical electricity manufacturing.
The sum of power a regular nuclear power station can deliver is so substantial that a single electricity station can source electrical electrical power to numerous tens of thousands of properties in excess of a substantial location, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Nuclear energy stations them selves do not just take up a great deal land spot making it possible for them to be put in the vicinity of to industrial locations reducing the require to transfer electrical power more than extended distances.
Whilst nuclear reactors and power stations are pricey to establish, their functioning prices are low compared to an equivalent coal or gasoline fired station.
The right way intended and operated, nuclear electric power plants are capable of running continuously for numerous many years devoid of the require of expensive upgrades, repairs and maintenance.
Drawbacks of Nuclear Electrical power
The procedure of nuclear fusion generates radiation and wastes, which are damaging and harmful or even deadly to persons creating most cancers and other this kind of ailments.
The squander products and spent gasoline rods utilised in the technology of electrical power final for a lot of countless numbers of several years which is why nuclear squander is saved in sealed containers and buried in managed places and not just dumped but the additional nuclear energy that is created the extra hazardous wastes get amassed.
Nuclear and radioactive mishaps are worst than in traditional fossil gas energy stations releasing radioactive pollutants and water into the surrounding surroundings which can have a important effect on the earth in common.
Some international locations can use the basic technological know-how of generating nuclear electrical power to make gas for developing nuclear weapons as nicely as being a attainable target for a terrorist assaults.
Radioactive products these types of as plutonium, uranium and thorium are pretty high-priced. When they can be found in abundance in the earth, they are not positioned all over the place so extraction, purification and transportation can be high-priced.
Setting up massive nuclear electricity plants is controversial and can take up to 10 a long time to comprehensive which can direct to lengthy time and pricey above runs as vegetation are modified to account for the most recent restrictions as properly as delays in beginning the job due to demonstrations and delays.
Fossil gas provides are a dwindling natural resource generating them far more expensive to extract and course of action as time goes by so other forms of "substitute power" are being sought and made use of to source the worlds ever increasing energy demands and for a lot of nuclear strength is the response.
Though nuclear processing and nuclear power crops make radioactive wastes and the likely for environmental catastrophe could be large, the benefits of nuclear electrical power in producing massive quantities of sustainable power without the need of polluting the environment with harmful fumes and greenhouse gases outweighs the cons of nuclear energy. As technological know-how evolves and we find out tactics to improve the power output and decrease the radioactive wastes and residues, nuclear energy will grow to be a lot more approved.
The environment is on the verge of an electrical power crisis in which nuclear electricity can participate in and vital part. There are lots of positive aspects and positive aspects to nuclear power but if it can source ample electricity to electric power a country and all its functions, then it is very clear that nuclear electricity is the way to go and ought to be approved as a practical energy source. So when nuclear power represents a change absent from burning common fossil fuels it is much more a classic variety of vitality, and not an substitute variety.

I'll admit I hadn't heard of the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia before seeing the poignant film from director Jeff Nichols (Mud). I'm not alone, though─Nichols hadn't either.
Once producers showed him Nancy Buirski's award-winning documentary The Loving Story, he knew he had to write and direct the film, and we're all the better for it. Just as relevant today as the events of the case were forty years ago, Loving is not only a moving history lesson, it's also as true and tender a love story as you're likely to see this year.
Starring Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga as Richard and Mildred Loving, the film chronicles the interracial couple's struggles as they defy Virginia law and decide that all they want to do is be with each other, and who the heck is anyone to tell them they can't? Almost immediately after their 1958 wedding in Washington DC, both are arrested. As part of their plea deal, they avoid significant jail time by agreeing to move out of Virginia for a term of twenty-five years.
But when they return home shortly after for the birth of their first child, they're arrested again, setting the wheels in motion for the almost decade-long legal fight that eventually went all the way to the nation's highest court.
Loving isn't about legal ramblings, though, and it barely touches on the racism that existed in the country at that time; it's a movie about a man and a woman who just want to live together as man and wife. When their case actually goes to the Supreme Court, both Lovings decline to attend, and when asked by his lawyers if they can pass on any message to the justices, Richard says simply, "Tell the judge I love my wife."
Edgerton and Negga share a level of true chemistry not often seen in film, and it grounds the story, keeping it intimate and personal, even as we're well aware of the historical significance of what's unfolding. Their performances are both wonderfully understated as the pair just go through their lives as two married people.
Nichols gets high marks for his approach to the film, both behind the camera and in his screenplay. Though we're never shown a Mississippi Burning-type moment, there's a strong undercurrent of fear and suspense throughout; we're never quite sure what (or who) might be around the corner for the Lovings. David Wingo's sparse score only heightens the tension.
In the end, Loving is as simple as can be. It's a love story, exquisitely told and brilliantly acted─a film for the ages that never loses its laser-sharp focus on one man and one woman who changed the country.

What a bizarre circumstance this is. The irrational Iranians are behaving too reasonably.
The unmovable Iranians seem to be compromising too readily.
This past weekend, the United States and other major nations finally spoke with Iran. In 10 hours of talks (or 5 with translations), minus a lunch break, Iran agreed to a framework for ensuring that its nuclear program is only used for civilian purposes.
Get our free emails
If this keeps up, the whole basis for war could be lost. And it's all the result of having finally spent a few hours talking with Iran. The obvious solution is to cut off the talks, issue ultimatums, lower the threshold for what justifies war, and impose more deadly sanctions than ever. And that's just what some of our misrepresentatives in Congress are about to try.
Although, the last time Iran tried to agree to ship its uranium out of the country for refinement, talks were conveniently sabotaged by an explosion in Iran. So, there are a variety of methods for sabotaging paths to peace.
But is this really so bizarre? Or does peace often threaten to get in the way of the best laid plans to pretend to be reluctantly forced into war as a "last resort"?
Let's not forget that the inspections in Iraq were working in 2003, the inspectors believed they could give more conclusive findings if allowed a little more time, and President Bush pulled the inspectors out in order to begin the shocking and awing. Bush and his subordinates then frequently falsely claimed that Iraq had kicked out the inspectors.
And let's not forget — or let's learn now, if we never did — that the Taliban offered after 9/11 to turn bin Laden over to a third country to be put on trial. Instead, our government chose a decade of war in Afghanistan, followed by an assassination, followed by the continuation of the war for additional years.
In fact, as documented in War Is A Lie, peace offers and offers to talk have been rejected and hushed up prior to or during World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and many other wars stretching back in U.S. history to countless broken treaties with Native Americans. During the U.S. war on Vietnam, peace settlements were proposed by the Vietnamese, the Soviets, and the French, but rejected or sabotaged by the United States. The last thing you want when you're trying to start or continue a war — and when trying to sell it as a reluctant action of last resort — is for word to leak out that the other side is proposing peace talks.
It is to the credit of our society that even proponents of war, even those who argue for its humanitarian benefits to its victims, must always maintain that it is a last resort. It is to our credit that some in our government at least partially favor using diplomacy. But others fear giving diplomacy the slightest chance, knowing it is very likely to succeed in many cases.
Some proponents of waging war on Iran admit that they do not fear Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon and using it; they fear Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon and doing the same thing every other nation does with them: not use it. It would then be harder to overthrow Iran's government. But those who want quick "regime change" clearly fear Iran agreeing to severe restrictions and inspections, which would eliminate all possibility of pretending that Iran has a nuclear weapons program.
This past weekend's talks clearly suggested that an alternative to war is possible. This prospect for peace was immediately denounced by right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman and other members of Congress – who may try to block further talks as early as this week. A Senate effort to prevent the talks from even beginning had been blocked by Sen. Rand Paul. Now Congress is coming back with more deadly sanctions, ultimatums, and resolutions requiring war.
But Congresswoman Barbara Lee has a bill with 21 cosponsors that would allow and require talks, end the Obama Administration's policy that forbids U.S. diplomats to have direct contact with Iranian government officials without express prior authorization from the Secretary of State, and prevent any war not legally authorized by Congress.
Now, who would be threatened by such a reasonable proposal, as long as war truly is the last resort?
We're furious.
White supremacists, conspiracy theorists, and far right extremists have gone unchallenged long enough. The armed rampage at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th was not the end of their attacks on democracy.
We urgently need to do more to fight against the far right and its violence — while we still can.
Please join us in our fury and help us amplify the voices of the authors and activists fighting for our future.

A solver for Poisson's equation was developed using the Radix-2 FFT method first invented by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Its performance was characterized using simulated data and identical boundary conditions to those found in a Hall Effect Thruster. The characterization showed errors below machine-zero with noise-free data, and above 20% noise-to-signal strength, the error increased linearly with the noise. This solver can be implemented into AFRL's plasma simulator, the Thermophysics Universal Research Framework (TURF) and used to quickly and accurately compute the electric field based on charge distributions. The validity of a machine learning approach and data-based complex system modeling approach was demonstrated. To this end, several multilayer perceptrons were created and validated against AFRL-provided Hall Thruster test data, with two networks showing mean error below 1% and standard deviations below 10%. These results, while not ready for implementation as a replacement for lookup tables, strongly suggest paths for future work and the development of networks that would be acceptable in such a role, saving both RAM space and time in plasma simulations.

Q: How null is treated using union and union all in mysql? based on below statement
select null
union
select null

the output of the above statement is:
null

While this statement :
select null
union all
select null

Outputs:
null
null

As null <> null then how the value null is treated here and in which datatype it is considered

A: In standard SQL, UNION removes duplicate records, UNION ALL does not. Happlily your RDBMS is clever enough to figure out that NULL IS NULL, and eliminates duplicate rows when UNION is used.
NB : null = null is unknown, however null <> null is unknown as well. The only way to check for nullity is to use something like IS NULL.
SELECT case when null <> null then 1 else 0 end;  --> yields : 0
SELECT case when null =  null then 1 else 0 end;  --> yields : 0
SELECT case when null IS null then 1 else 0 end;  --> yields : 1

A: UNION is a set operator and involves checking for "duplicate rows". The specs define duplicate rows as "not being distinct". An excerpt from SQL-92 specs:

Two values are said to be not distinct if either: both are the null
value, or they compare equal according to Subclause 8.2, "<comparison
predicate>". Otherwise they are distinct. Two rows (or partial rows)
are distinct if at least one of their pairs of respective values is
distinct. Otherwise they are not distinct. The result of evaluating
whether or not two values or two rows are distinct is never unknown.

(emphasis mine). So, in this example:
select null
union all
select null

the two rows are considered duplicates of each other because the null values in first column are considered not distinct... i.e. same. And by definition UNION returns only one row from a set of duplicate rows.

A: I am considering that you know the difference between UNION (deduplicates results) and UNION ALL
select 'x' from dual where null is null \\results with x

In this case null is actually null. Which means union returns correct result (deduplicated)

Why I like the new Top Gear – Season 24…
Robert Pepper 2017-03-21
21 Mar 2017 Robert Pepper
Different is not necessarily bad… and I reckon the new season of Top Gear is good.
AFTER JEREMY, JAMES AND RICHARD left to create the Grand Tour their old show, Top Gear, was re-launched with Chris Evans as the lead. We all know how that turned out, so let's look at Series 24, the current incarnation which has Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid as the three primary presenters. And I'm going to disagree with Isaac Bober – you can read HERE why he thinks it should be binned and replaced with a new and improved Fifth Gear.
Top Gear is about entertainment through cars, and this new series delivers. In an age where everyone has a 4K camera and a drawerful of GoPros, the cinematography is still a cut above the rest; you notice it, but in a good way.
But beautiful camerawork is nothing without content, so it's a good thing the cars and challenges are fine too. The Ferrari FXX-K track test gave us a window into the world of exclusivity, the test of the old cars in Kazakhstan was lightly entertaining… there's variation and interest.
But no show is perfect, including the previous Top Gears. I think there's one thing wrong with the current format, and one big opportunity. The thing wrong is the presenter's interactions with each other. It's too forced, too scripted, and in particular Matt LeBlanc needs to stop acting and be himself. He's the most skilled actor, but paradoxically I think that counts against him.
The opportunity is to educate as well as entertain. This is something that the Grand Tour entirely misses; they travel from place to place but you learn very little about whatever country they're in and half the time the segments shown are in a different country.
In the same way, Top Gear goes from place to place too, but why? We don't really get to understand much about the local culture, when surely there'd be a richness of cars, attitudes, personalities and style to explore. The world knows very little about Kazakhstan for example, so how hard would it be to explain where it is and a little of its history, interwoven skillfully with the segment itself? And the Ferrari test at Daytona… well if you want American motor racing history, that'd surely be the place. When Harris launched on his 'qualifying' lap why not have it start from the bricks and throw a sentence in about their significance.
Even leaving aside the travel, every segment needs to make a few useful points. We saw a little of this with the old cars segment in Episode 2, when the point was your car isn't worn out after 200,000km, and a bit with the FXX-K about it not being road legal or able to race, but there needs to be more of that. With older cars – safety, potential increase in value, joy of driving vs new. With the Ferrari – is it that much more fun than a 488? Would racing a slow car be more fun that just hotlapping a FXX-K?
If Top Gear can continue what it does well yet also focus on presenter camaraderie and entertaining education then I think it might just beat the Grand Tour. I'm certainly going to be watching.

Hopefully I will manage to rig it if I ever figure out foot rigs and animate but that seems far away at this point.
Thats a nice concept you work on. Nice modelling so far.
Maybe you could give the outer surface of the head a little thickness to make it look a bit more solid.
Robot Chicken? Did you get the idea from the show?
Cool idea if you didnt steal it from the show.
I hope you get it rigged cause i like the model so far even though it is just the beak.
Crit me to death please, though admittedly there isn't a whole lot to crit.


Since its publication in 1968, Henri Lefevbre's Le droit a la ville, has become the "cry and demand" for rights in cities around the world. From the claims of the student movement and situationist agitators, throughout the multifaceted experience of the urban movements of the last fifty years, the right to the city is a concept that has settled globally in the academic discourses and in the everyday practice of activists and policy makers.
Taking the cue from the conference organised in Paris by Ville en Commune on the 50 years of Lefebvre's seminal book, in spring 2018 Tesserae started a new documental project. This is a living archive of interviews with scholars, activists, cultural agitators, politicians and policy makers to understand how the right to the city concept as been appropriated, interpreted and endorsed in the context of local and global struggles. The objective is not only to document the pluralities of facets of the concept, but also to question how it can still provide inspiration and tools for emancipation and social justice in our age of capitalist acceleration.
The interviews currently published in the oginoknauss Vimeo channel, will be successively edited and made available in other publication formats integrating the individual contributions with critical reflections, maps and documents.


You need to ensure you know which customers fit into which category and then manage them accordingly.
A highly satisfied customer, who sees the value of your product or service will usually make an excellent advocate and needs to be treated like a VIP. At the other end of the scale, a highly dissatisfied customer will probably have no loyalty and could be a saboteur for your business. You need to either seek to rebuild the relationship and strengthen it for future business or manage the separation with professional integrity.
A good modern day CRM system allows you to understand a customer's wants and needs and what you need to do to produce and deliver their requirements. It also allows you to share the knowledge, within your business, of how a relationship is perceived and therefore how it should be managed. In short, it allows you to satisfy all your customers' needs across the whole of their organisation whilst ensuring you, as an organisation can gain the strength of knowledge to be a success.
Forward thinking organisations understand the vital need to maintain a strategic focus on CRM and to resource and manage it appropriately. For them, a strong, modern and competitive CRM system enables them to strengthen their supplier-customer relationship and they are constantly looking to upgrade and improve their systems so that they continue to stay ahead of their competitors.

CES 2014 – Wearable Technology
It seems as we get ready for this years Consumer Electronics Show, that we are entering a new phase of technology. The buzz this year seems to be around a new emerging category of technology, namely wearable technology. From the pre-show buzz it sounds like we should hear a lot coming out of CES this year from new Google Glass applications, to smart watches, virtual reality, and maybe even the classic dinner fork. It seems a foregone conclusion that this years event will signal a launch pad for this category to go towards becoming mainstream in the modern world. It is time for a new category as the Smartphone and Tablet are in a mature phase, where it's no longer just cool to have but expected, meaning they are one step closer to being boring.
It seems all movements forward in technology are driven by limitations in what is currently popular. The move to laptops was driven by the fact that desktops were tied to a power outlet and users had a need to take their productivity with them. Then as laptops got smaller we wanted something even smaller and netbooks evolved to ease our troubles. However all these devices were limited by battery supply and a constant need to find a location with an electrical outlet. We also need somewhere to sit and place our laptop or netbook. Thus the advent of Smartphones and Tablets, and a bonus, no keyboard. We could access information where ever we stood, provided we had connectivity. The limitation now? We still need to hold the device and use our hands.
It was with this backdrop that the first device to get notoriety was Google Glass. They actually looked ok. I was expecting some huge visor of a person's forehead, but they were actually kind of sleek. I can already see that early on these new devices will create some of the social confusion that mobile phones with ear buds did, the "Are you talking to me?" moment. No, they actually do not even know that you exist (that is kind of rough reality for some people). The concept of Google Glass is interesting, it at times seems like you could be in your own world, kind of like some of the bulkier Virtual Reality devices you see attached to people's head, however as you walk through town you more or less can interact with what is around you and get more information on things you may see and want to know more about. Some places have already gone as far as banning them. The Five Point in Seattle, WA has done this. It is a dive bar and people go there to get drunk and lose themselves. I can understand not wanting Google Glass to record them, this is a sign of legal battles to come.
The first Smartwatch I saw was over a decade ago when Microsoft Research came up with the Microsoft Spotwatch, it was connected via FM (as in you r radio). It could do stuff like check the weather, but it was big and ugly. In 2013 we started to hear a lot of talk about a new breed of SmartWatches. At the forefront was the Apple iWatch, which was conceptual at the time and despite the rumors still has yet to be released. Samsung has since released its own watch which is available through carrier stores. Having seen them they have some cool features. The gentleman at the AT&T store I was at had one, but was not wearing at the time and discussed some of the features. You can receive your texts via your watch. Check the weather. I can see this is going to happen and it will reinvent the whole idea of what a watch will be. The advantage of having a watch that is connected will be having perfect time. No longer having to reset your watch as it may be running fast or slow, your time is managed by the U>S Naval Observatory in Annapolis, MD. Beyond time we still need a killer purpose for the watch, but then perfect time may be enough.
An area I am rather excited about is fitness technology. Wearable devices that in time will help manage our daily fitness. Tell us when we are doing good and not so good. We could have our bodies monitored throughout the day. You have devices that help you train as well, like FitStar being promoted by former NFL great Tony Gonzalez. A device that helps you workout and stay motivated, not sure about Tony yelling at me but it may work. Going back to our previous theme of watched, Addidas has a Smart Watch that acts as a personal assistant when you are running tracking things like distance, heart rate, time etc..I can foresee a lot of devices and services coming in the near future to aid and assist us in living healthier lifestyles. Accommodating our increasingly mobile lifestyle.
A final area that wearable technology will need to conquer is our vanity. The reality is most people do not want a geeky gadget. In order to feel good we want to look good. In the end we are all slaves to fashion so why should wearable tech be any different. The idea of wearable technology will become mainstream when it is on the cover of GQ Magazine or Heidi Klum starts analyzing and commenting on fashion technology on "Project Runway". This is wear I think Apple with its dedication to sleek and beautiful design can take a leadership role . Though it is one thing to make a pretty phone another thing to make accessories that you want to wear. Technology is a cross-section and intersection of industry as it impacts every business model it touches. It has influenced design in the back room where ideas are conceptualized, not it will impact us in what we see and wear.
The Consumer Electronics Show this year promises to have a lot of buzz around this new and emerging market segment, which should make for an exciting and entertaining show. CES is not always a success. One year the buzz was 3D television, which struck me as not a winner. Most of the US population had either recently purchased a Plasma or LED television and were not interested in buying a new TV. Let alone having to wear those awful 3D glasses. Wearable technology is just a natural extension of where we have already been, dating back to the mainframe. It will push are lives into new areas we have not explored and hopefully make us better. While at the same time freeing up our lives to do more of the things that we want, to make our lives more fulfilling. Welcome to 2014, it is going to be the year to step out in your digital clothes.

The Nokia Acquisition
"Two Turkeys do not make an Eagle" – Vic Gudotra, Google Exec
The words of Vic Gudotra, a former Microsoft exec, now Google exec, upon hearing Nokia had selected the Microsoft Windows Phone OS over Google's Android platform. It makes for a nice quote and though it may seem a bit harsh given both companies performance of late in the mobile marketplace, for the interim it is pretty accurate. With that being said this was something that had been rumoured for a long time, It is interesting timing, given Ballmer's retirement announcement and the massive re-org that Microsoft is going through. Ina Fried wrote a pretty interesting article on how the acquisition came to be (you can read here). Nokia was Microsoft's signature customer for the WIndows Phone OS, but it was never a guaranteed success. During the entire time of this current agreement, Nokia was bleeding cash with every earnings report. Market share was improving but it seemed very hard to sustain any momentum, when you have competitors like Google, Apple and Samsung not just increasing market share but owning the media every time they even whisper. No matter how quiet. Looking at what this relationship is and could be, is fodder for a lot of conversations and observations, moving forward this will be fun to watch.
One thing I have hated, let me please put in bold, hated is Microsoft saying there needs to be a third eco system. When Ballmer spoke about this a few years ago I was in shock, what happened to my Microsoft? I never remembered this kind of talk when we were promoting Windows. But as in all things in life, things change. Even former Netscape founder Marc Andreesen says a third eco-system for mobility is necessary for the industry. He is cheering for Microsoft. Competition creates strange bedfellows. Because of missteps and it reliance on its legacy, Microsoft more or less backed itself into this corner. This ecosystem is first and foremost the developer, what Microsoft would call its birth right. That is no longer the case as that has been eroding for years as technology advances and new and viable platforms come to market. I have spent 20 years talking to, working with and selling to developers. All the talk about better productivity etc… is nice but at the end of the day developers go where the money takes them. This is an area that both Microsoft and Nokia have struggled, by coming together this could help simplify the message and opportunity for developers.
As Microsoft transforms itself into a device manufacturer the acquisition of a device manufacturer was going to be necessary. It is one thing to say, "we are going to make devices", it is another thing to figure out how to construct a supply chain to do it. To hire the talent to design cool devices. To make a device. All skills that Microsoft was just learning. This was an acquisition driven by necessity, by two companies struggling to compete in a space that was running away from them. In reading Ina Fried's article the point is made executives at both companies were becoming increasingly nervous about the fact that the Nokia Windows Phone was not creating buzz and grabbing significant market share. This on top of the fact that unlike Microsoft earning's Nokia was bleeding cash, Nokia does not have a Windows and Office business to hold it up. The bigger concern was how long could hold out before it could no longer remain a viable entity. It has not been brought up in articles I have read but the knowledge of the device supply chain is very valuable to Microsoft and unlike Nokia for the foreseeable future Microsoft has the cash to keep it afloat.
Long term it will be interesting to see how Microsoft's relationships with its OEM's plays out. The OEM model that Microsoft built out under Joachim Kempin is legendary and has made billions for Microsoft and its OEM partners (Compaq, Gateway, Dell, Sony, HP, Acer, IBM, HTC, Samsung, LG and many more). The big question is how far will Microsoft have to go. As of today Microsoft is in the business of creating new tablets and smartphones Will they have to make PC's? Not in the foreseeable future, but those partners are being challenged as well as the PC market shrinks, what are they to do? They will have to look at tablets, but he OS of choice by no means will be a guaranteed Windows device, especially as Android devices have an increasingly large share of the market. The OEM's I am sure are a bit put out as they look to new markets Tablets were going to play a big part,but now I would say that they would be wise to hedge their bets by investing in alternate platforms like Android and Chrome. (many are already doing this).
This is the big gamble by Microsoft, it is done dipping its toes in the water with hardware project sand by acquiring a big piece of Nokia, is plunging into the icy depths in search of a bigger and brighter future. The long run this looks like a great acquisition, but the bigger challenge will be managing the short run, the next 1-2 years. The market will continue to move forward rapidly and is not waiting for Microsoft and Nokia to get their act together. Approval of the deal will not be final until Q1 of 2014. Then there is the challenge of integrating 32,000 new employees into Microsoft. This again will take some time. The worry is if it takes 2-3 years to get this up and running how far will the market have moved ahead?
Will these turkey's fly? Will they become a great eagle? Why are we being so harsh on the turkey? It is very early, but one thing is clear is that if Microsoft is to become a device and services company it needed to make this acquisition. Rather than working as separate companies, as partners, but with similar but different agendas this brings them together to work as one and set a mutual agenda. It will also bring their different skill sets together and hopefully allow them to benefit through greater economies of scale and basic sharing of IP and best practices.. It is difficult to make these type of deals not because you want to but because you have to. Ina's article was very interesting in the fact that despite the situation there was a lot of executive posturing, but in the end it had to happen otherwise it would be colossal failure by both parties. Can two turkey's make an eagle? We are about to find out.

The Cultural Phenomena of Technology
Published on May 29, 2013 May 29, 2013 by hansh51Leave a comment
It is one of those things that begins with a whisper and then continues to grow louder into the wildest of crashing waterfalls. Sometimes it confronts us in a very direct way and other times it sneaks up on us spreading like a virus throughout society. It penetrates our lives and influences others around us. The beneficiaries are our day-to-day modern society that adopts them and adores them. The victors are the people and the companies who make them. In fact we can quantify the victors with the monetary term of billions of dollars. Those who try to stand in the way of these cultural phenomena's are simply pushed aside and deemed not relevant. We deem these to be the companies we refer to as competition. In the industry this is a big deal and though sometimes accidental many times it is brilliance, such as Steve Jobs. In the end it is about creating emotional connections and not negative emotions but positive ones. Looking through history there have been some big moments (and winners).
The first I remember of this type of phenomena was the build up to the launch of Microsoft's Windows 95. It was funny at the time as the product was continually being delayed. When the name was announced people even began to wonder if it would even ship in 1995. But at the time Microsoft was the darling of the industry. Even when it seemed destined to fail in the end it always seemed to succeed. Windows 95 would turn out to be the greatest testament to the ability of the company to succeed. When the product finally shipped it was to mass hysteria never seen in the industry. People lined up at midnight waiting for doors to open to a new world of wonder. It brought the idea of technology into everyone's home. It was exciting and a fulfillment of a vision that Paul Allen and Bill gates had as young boys. It was really the dawn of the new age of technology and every significant technology launch has been compared to the launch of Windows 95. The main competition, Apple, could only sit, watch and wonder, "it should have been us".
The second phenomena that occurred I did not become familiar with until, then CEO of Novel,l Eric Schmidt left his post and joined a small company known as Google. Google was a search engine provider and certainly not the first, but it would turn out to be by far and away the most successful. It was not long before it seemed everyone was searching the web with Google, as it was far superior to what was on the market. Google's impact beyond the technology was it changed the market dynamics and how companies made money. They were in many was also the first to demonstrate you can not only make money on the web, you can make tons of money on the web. The growth of Google was so accelerated it was almost hard to comprehend. While they are making all this money they also became part of our cultural linguistics as Google became a verb. By the time Microsoft finally launched a technological viable competitor in Bing, they were no longer visible in Google's rear view mirror
When the iPhone stated to be discussed the whispers started early and grew loud and clear. I had a friend working at AT&T at the time and he said everything at the corporate office was driving towards the launch of the Apple iPhone. When the iPhone launched in 2007 it would turn out to be a huge success on many fronts, from the device to the apps, creating a new market, a new ecosystem. As time went by what was amazing to watch was the extremely personal relationship that would develop between people and their technology. People really get addicted to these phones and it more or less becomes an extension of the individual. One thing Apple was always great at was creating a product that fostered loyalty. The iPhone would do this in spades. So much changed with the iPhone in how we as a society interact with one another, the iPhone was a truly powerful technical and social breakthrough.
It is difficult for companies to compete against these type of movements in a direct head on manner. Microsoft has more or less tried this with Bing against Google and not seen very good results. The biggest challenge is not the market share but the cultural awareness they are up against. It is not even a technology gap so much as the successful technologies of today are internalized by users, who purchase and use certain technologies without much thought. It is as if they are predisposed to certain choices, they are conditioned . It is hard and I have yet to see a marketing plan that says with our latest release we need to brainwash society and condition them to use our stuff. I would be most entertained if someone would try doing this as I think it would be an eventful exercise. As we have learned over and over again just because you have the better technology does not mean that you win. Part of the challenge when competing with these social titans is that it is not good enough to create a better technology because even if you do, you have to ask, "Now what?". You need not only a better product but a better vision. Vision should proceed the product, not follow it.
I am waiting for the next phenomena and it may be just around the corner. We are nearing the age of the robot and I am warily awaiting the device that becomes a consumer phenomena. It may also be something not so dramatic. It could be a new social networking innovation. Perhaps Google Glass is bigger than we think or know? All we know is software is becoming pervasive in nearly everything we touch. As Bill Gates said, "It is where the magic happens". Like all things in tech it is not predicting the future, but timing it. For any company the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is to become a necessary fabric of society. To be wanted. A basic, necessary and powerful human emotion.

Google – threats and opportunities for the Future
Published on March 20, 2012 March 20, 2012 by hansh511 Comment
I was having coffee with a contract recruiter for Microsoft recently and he mentioned he had just been in New York meeting with some of the Microsoft Advertising folks. He mentioned they were kind of down as when they went looking for business (I can only assume for Bing), things were not going so well. As it turns out the ad agencies only wanted to talk with one company: Facebook. It makes total sense. If I were wanting to place ads I would much prefer Facebook to search providers such as Google or Microsoft. The reason being simple, unlike a search engine where I do my search and click my link. In Facebook I log on and stay. And judging by some of my friends they are on Facebook a whole lot. This is a big threat to both Google and Microsoft, but primarily Google. Microsoft has a lot of other business groups that generate revenue (Windows, Office, Server and Tools etc..), and Bing frankly has been a cost sink hole. However for Google the avenues are not as plentiful. Facebook poses a challenge to the future of the company, that is well worth getting excited about.
There is no doubt the traditional Google business is under threat. The very business landscape that Google pioneered is shifting as companies look to spend their ad dollars in places where the perceived monetary return is greater than ad words. Facebook will be a big test to that business, as will Twitter. Don't get me wrong Google has been nothing short of amazing. It's end of year statement in December showed a company with over $37 billion in revenue. This from a company that was incorporated in 1998. When I started at Microsoft it was already 16 years old and talking of its business units in terms of its first billion. The fear for Google, from the start has been, is Google a one trick pony? Can it take sits enormous revenues and invest those in other web-based services to generate new streams of revenue. There is some hope on the horizon in this area.
The good news for Google lies in the success of its mobile platform, namely Android and the mobile search business. In our increasingly on the go and mobile society the opportunity for new revenue streams in the mobile search business is immense. If you go by one Gartner report mobile search revenue will grow worldwide to over $20 billion by 2015. Based on last years earnings Google already generates $2.5 billion in mobile ad revenue. Google has been very successful in getting mobile handset providers to adopt their Android platform as the mobile OS. Premier providers like HTC and Samsung have been major advocates of Android both for the smartphone, and in the case of Samsung its tablet offering. If there is one note of fear, it is the amount of mobile ad revenue generated from Apple's iOS platform. Apple and Google are direct competitors in the handset space, so how long Apple chooses to ship Google's search as a part of its standard offering of apps with both the phone and tablet is open to debate. I am sure Microsoft just waits in the wings waiting to provide Bing as the default search offering for the iPhone.
The other bets will be the continued growth of Chrome as a browser and internet platform. Chrome continues to increase market share ( Use Chrome as my default browser). This is significant as the browser war is the battle fr the internet OS. Today we have four to five players: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. In my view it will come down to three as we are already seeing Mozilla people leave the Firefox camp and Opera is still very small in market share. The other three combined have close to $200 billion in the bank, so I feel safe in choosing them to fight the last battle. This is an area where I feel Google is well positioned as they don't have a PC OS. Apple has its MacOS and Microsoft Windows. It can be a big advantage to not have a legacy mindset in the industry. Hardware manufacturers have introduced a "PC" without Microsoft Windows. A Chrome Netbook was released. The reviews were mixed as it is a bit different to have a Netbook with no hard drive. Thus your experience is dependent upon connectivity. It is too soon for this device, but if you envision a world where we have ubiquitous connectivity you can see the writing on the wall.
As you see, primarily, Apple has taken the lion share of the tablet market place a new thing is happening. The Windows growth rate over in Redmond is slowing and in some quarters shrinking. The big concern here is not just Windows, but down the road Microsoft Office. Luckily for Google they have been investing in the desktop productivity space with Google Docs. It is not a bad bet on their part as when you are competing against a product with 90 percent market share the only way is up. Given the large cash hoard that Google has they can commit to this space for the long-term and with the rise of tablets and, if we believe, the disk less netbook then the outlook for Google Docs long-term is fairly bright (I wrote about Google Docs in a previous post). They can charge far less than Microsoft and still make billions. It will not be an easy task however we can see the paradigms for the future of how we consume technology changing. One thing for certain in the information age is nothing is forever.
This is the new paradigm we have entered into as the web seems to build up companies overnight into social phenomena's. Especially with web-based services like a Google, Facebook, Twitter or Groupon where nothing is manufactured. There is no physical output. No handheld device. No PC. Just a bunch of services out in cyber space. The fact that Google has become a $37 billion business in a little over 13 years is truly amazing. Facebook pre-IPO already is generating $3.7 billion in revenue. The internet is creating a velocity of business we have not seen before. The ability to communicate and spread the word of whatever is new and cool is what makes the technology space the most exciting industry on the planet. For a company like Google to continue its path of success it will constantly have to adjust and seek new business opportunities. As long as you have smart people envisioning the future, you can determine your own destiny. Ball is in your court Google.

The Downer of Digital Music
Published on October 17, 2011 by hansh51Leave a comment
In this day and age so much has changed in how we consume and how we live. Technology has been the primary driver of those changes. But for all the significant enhancements to our day-to-day lives I do feel we are replacing a sense of adventure with convenience. A lust for now and not the search. One area I loved dearly in my youth that has undergone fundamental change is music. Some of my biggest changes in life and fondest memories were of finding new music and going through a journey of self discovery and self fulfillment. I remember in 9th grade at Tillicum Junior High in my hometown of Bellevue, we had the final school dance. In order to celebrate a group of six of us decided to rent a limo, go out to eat, go the dance and then head into Seattle. It was our grand finale. After dinner and the dance we were heading into Seattle U-District to go to Arnold's and play video games for the rest of the evening, well everyone except me I had a far grander plan…I was heading to Tower Records. So the chauffeur dropped the other 5 off at Arnold's and drove me up to Tower Records and opened the door for me. Many on the ave, as it was called. gazed and wondered who was this high-class dignitary? Or so I thought (you can only imagine the kind of put together outfit a 15-year-old boy dons for such events). When I entered the Tower records store it was like a musical Mecca. It was completely overwhelming the aisles or records…of music. I had never seen anything like it. Prior to this it was the Sears record department. I did not have much time to browse and had to decide quickly. As I had just been introduced to the whole New Wave and Punk scene that was happening I went for the new classics. I settled on The Sex Pistols "Never Mind the Bollocks".
Through the years, especially my high school days, I would hit Tower often, usually with my friend Carl. The great thing was the University district had a lot of small new and used record stores as well as Tower Records.. It was fun just to adventure up and down the avenue looking for music. Looking at today's tech driven consumer society we have seen music evolve into the digital download age and provide us avenues of access to music that are truly wonderful. As I write I listen to Pandora, which I am completely in love with as it has allowed me to rediscover music lost in my soul and introduce me to a ton of new artists. But in the iPod/iPhone/iTunes driven age something has been lost. One thing I always enjoyed about an album was it was a constant process rediscovery, as often the music you originally bought the album for grow tiresome, but when a year later you played that same album you discovered new uncharted songs grabbed you attention. Now in the download age the entire album is replaced by the purchase of individual songs. When you burn out of that song you got on to the next latest and greatest hit, rarely listening or even being interested in listening to the artists body of work. The album.
Buying music now is completely different as the hours spent going to record stores are replaced with the instant gratification of online retailing. I guess the cool thing is I could be in the middle of Stanley Park, hear a song, and purchase and download within a few minutes. Or I could be at my favorite restaurant. Does not really matter where, to be honest. I just need to be connected. The days of making your girlfriend the "love" tape are gone. No more hours spent going through albums and painstakingly recording the onto cassettes. No reason to write down the songs with little love quotes next to them. My wife recently found one of these tapes and read out load what I had written. Painful. Today you can have 20 romantic songs, title it, hit shuffle and play and be done in minutes. Despite my nostalgia for the past I have to admit this is pretty damn cool.
Of course these dramatic changes did not just happen one day when Apple released the iPod. It happened over time and through many changes. The start of MTV, the move to the compact disc, Sony Walkman, peer-to-peer networking and the creation of Napster, Internet Radio, etc..But despite it all this disruption the music labels did not see the big change coming. Focusing on short-term revenues and not envisioning long-term revenue. How people would purchase music and when that change happened, they were ill prepared and left playing catch up in a rapidly changing digital world. I remember an interview in Wired magazine with a VP of Sony discussing the transformation tat was going on in how music was being consumed. This was around the time the Apple iPod was taking off. His view was that the hard drive was interesting technology. Interesting?!? Really?!? I wish I could remember his name and only hope that he was fired.
These changes have also changed the artists. It used to be taboo to be a rock start and market products, but the dear departed Michael Jackson was ahead of the game when he became the spokesperson for Pepsi. Now it seems like pop stars are created to sell products. Look at Brittany Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, etc..Members of the Who must be rolling in their graves…hold it some are still alive (sorry Pete and Roger). In fact it seems in many cases a lot of pop stars are corporate entities. They can cry me a river about the money and fame but in the end we all want it so I shed no tears. The move to digital, to be fair, has caused the industry to expand on how to make money off of the artists work into new arenas. It's similar to comic books. You don't make money off the comic, but the movies and the accessories can be sold to a large buying public.
As for me, yes I have put all my music onto my PC and play on my Zune (yes I actually own one). But recently thanks to Pandora I have had a desire to revisit my youth and go looking for music only to discover that there is not many places left to do that. The future took off and when I went to return to my happy youth it was sadly gone. The downer of digital music is also the downer of aging. However I still have my memory of those days walking up and down the aisles of many record stores and the adventure it inspired and the joy it provided. I shed a tear for the departure of the album, the departure of my youth.

Grant purpose
The grant was used to fit out the new Westbury community shop, part of a bigger scheme to build a new village hall and create spaces for local people to meet. The grant will also cover the staff costs for a shop manager for the first year of business
Accountable to the local community
The trustees are all residents of the village and local people have bought community shares in the business. Each share owner is entitled to one vote in company matters at the annual general meeting
Improving social cohesion
The community has no access to public transport, no state school, post office, pub or shop of any kind. The new community hall, with café and shop, will give villagers a place to congregate, and improve social cohesion
Better access to everyday essentials
The new shop will provide more convenient access to local produce, products and services, help elderly or less mobile people be more independent, and reduce the need to travel to other shops by car
Over the last few years, the village of Westbury in Buckinghamshire has lost its only pub, several factories and local businesses, its primary school and post office.
As the village doesn't have its own school, children are sent to the nearest towns – Buckingham, Brackley and Banbury – and have nowhere to socialise when they come home to Westbury. The lack of community facilities is also a problem for elderly residents, who find it hard to travel to nearby towns for basic services. The village has seen a large increase to its population over the last 10 years with a 38% increase in houses.
In 2015, the community decided to raise funds for a brand new village hall, replacing the old one which was no longer fit for purpose, and to integrate a sports hall, community shop and café. Alongside a community share offer, the project has received funding from various sources, including a £64,250 grant from Power to Change to create the community shop and cafe.
This is an exciting time for Westbury as the new shop is will bring the community together

With the release of JEDEC's JESD204B serial data interface, designers are abandoning the 14- to 16-bit parallel differential low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) connections from analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to FPGAs, DSPs, or some ASICs. This reduces the number of lines and lengthens the runs for a simpler circuit. Recently, Texas Instruments adopted the JESD204B interface for its 16-bit ADS42JB69 ADC.
The JESD204B interface is an open standard defining high-speed serial interconnections that greatly reduces pin count and interconnect lines. The original JESD204 interface introduced in 2006 defined a single differential lane 3.125-Gbyte/s path between two devices. In 2008, JESD204A defined multiple lanes of 3.125-Gbit/s serial data. In 2011, JESD204B increased the data rate to 12.5 Gbits/s per multiple lanes. The reach at these speeds extends to 20 cm of standard FR-4 printed circuit-board (PCB) material. The embedded output data clock eliminates the need for bus line matching, greatly simplifying the interface between chips and reducing board space.
The ADS42JB69 is a dual 250-Msample/s 16-bit ADC, and 14-bit pin-compatible versions are available as well. Both use the JESD204B interface. The 16-bit ADS42LB69, which uses a parallel LVDS interface, is also an option.
The ADS42JB69 is flexible in system design because it incorporates all three JESD204B subclasses-0, 1, and 2-allowing multi-device synchronization between data converters. This chip also supports the JESD204B specification for deterministic latency that provides fixed transmission delay with or without the use of an external timing signal. And, it's backward compatible with the JEDS204A standard.
Using a 170-MHz IF, the ADS42JB69's spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 89 dBc. The SFDR excluding harmonic distortion is 100 dBc. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is up to 74.9 dB relative to full scale. The channel isolation is 100 dB. Its high-impedance analog input buffer with programmable full-scale range simplifies input filter design and drive circuitry. Power consumption is 775 mW per channel.
The LMK04828 clock jitter-cleaner supports JESD204B clocking (see the figure). Two voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) cores operate at 2.5 GHz or 2.9 GHz. The jitter is less than 100-fs RMS at 245.76 MHz. The chip also generates the subclass 1 SYSREF companion signals to provide timing synchronization for up to seven subsystem JESD204B components.
The Texas Instruments ADS42JB69 and LMK04828 can be used in wireless basestations. The ADS42JB69 is in the receive section. Note the connection to the FPGA/ASIC, which is JESD204B. The LMK04828 handles all clocking.
Samples of all these parts are available. Full production of the ADCs is expected in the second quarter of 2013. Evaluation modules are also available for all devices.

Acid reflux and heartburn are most commonly caused by low levels of hydrochloric acids in the stomach and/or impaired functionality of the LES (lower esophageal sphincter) muscle. In many cases of common acid reflux, gases that are created as a result of low acid levels in the stomach force foods, liquids and even hydrochloric acids up from your stomach and into your esophagus. Normally, your lower esophageal sphincter or LES muscle closes tightly behind the things that you eat and prevents anything from making its way back up into your esophagus, but the LES muscle of people who suffer from acid reflux is often times unable to entirely prevent the contents of your stomach from refluxing.
As you get older, the levels of HCL (Hydrochloric) acid in your stomach naturally begin to decrease. Your body needs a certain amount of this acid to properly digest the foods that you eat and control levels of bacteria in your stomach. Gases are created as food sits in your stomach, and these gases push the contents of your stomach up into your esophagus and throat.
This is essentially what acid reflux is, and this can lead to heartburn, gas and regurgitation, but the Stops Acid Reflux natural remedy is actually able to reverse this process by adding acidity to your stomach. Many pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that antacids and medications that further decrease the amount of acid in your stomach are the best way to deal with acid reflux, but a large amount of common acid reflux cases are actually caused by a lack of acid.
The things that you eat or drink can worsen reflux in many individuals. Coffee, tea, alcohol, caffeine, greasy snack foods, deep fried food, processed meats, dairy products, peanut butter, peppers, tomatoes and many other spicy or greasy foods can intensify or set off acid reflux and heartburn. Be sure to always drink a tall glass of water after every meal to help your body digest, and avoid lying down or sleeping after eating.
Exercising on a regular basis is a very important part of healthy digestion. Taking a brisk walk after eating a heavy lunch or breakfast can help the food to go down quicker and lessen your chances of experiencing acid reflux. Being overweight will put you at a greater risk for heartburn and acid reflux, so be sure to maintain a healthy weight. You should also avoid over-eating or eating too fast, and always keep your body upright for at least 3 hours after a meal. Laying on your left side or propping your upper body up while sleeping can also help with digestion by keeping your stomach below your esophagus.
There are a number of ways that smoking can contribute to acid reflux. Smoking can decrease your salivation levels and make it more difficult to properly digest, as well is increase the levels of acid secretion in your body. Smoking can also impair your muscle reflexes and reduce the functionality of your LES muscle. In addition to all of this, smoking will also cause damage to your mucus membranes and intensify heartburn.
The Stops Acid Reflux product is a natural remedy that is able to eliminate the uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms that appear as a result of common acid reflux and heartburn, but not all acid reflux is common acid reflux. Consult your doctor if you experience increasingly painful heartburn or reflux for any extended period of time.
