THOMAS DINGER – "Für Mich" (1982)
I'm a huge fan of La Düsseldorf, viagra buy the late '70s band formed from the ashes of the Krautrock titan Neu!. At La Düsseldorf's core was Klaus Dinger, hospital who'd been Neu!'s drummer, and he brought with him into the band the "motorik" beat that he'd invented in the early '70s. Another core member of La Düsseldorf was Klaus's brother Thomas, who had participated on "Neu! '75″, and who subsequently had a post-La Düsseldorf solo career. While much of this solo output, sometimes credited to "1-A Düsseldorf'", isn't great, he had one pretty good album from '82 called "Für Mich", full of resplendent echo and delay.

Full pictures from today here
What a day! We fought through some more brutal heat, and spent our energies focusing on getting better at the sport we love. Campers worked with counselors in several workshops today. One was devoted to hucking, emphasizing the importance of wrist-snap, angle of release, transfer of weight, and grip strength. There was a vast improvement from the beginning of the session to the end, where campers realized some detrimental habits in their form and started working on more efficient throwing. Another station was all about defensive positioning, launching campers through "The Gauntlet" drill that works on dictating where the offense can go on the field.
Today we scrimmaged as our teams, and the fields were alive with creative cheers, high fives, smiles, and highlight plays.
The Camper-Counselor game was an absolute blast! A huge layout D from the camper team on one of the first throws set the tone–these campers were not about to sit down and let the counselors roll. The counselors, relying on their veteran experience, eventually pulled out the win, but the sidelines were loud and a few fans even stopped by to spectate! After the game, it was time for ice cream. Every once in a while, a diversion from the "right road" is acceptable, if it takes the form of ice cream…

The man who communicates in either 140-character tweets or five-plus-minute filibusters has been largely quiet since Wednesday.
But when a Thursday night NFL Network halftime report on the controversy Colts owner Jim Irsay sparked this week regarding former Indy quarterback Peyton Manning suggested that Irsay hasn't said anything of late, I pulled up his Twitter page out of curiosity.
Here's what Irsay tweeted early Thursday evening: "Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit…that has grown!"
The line comes from the Pearl Jam song Off He Goes. Given the full lyrics, it seems like a fitting reference to the return of Manning to Indianapolis.
Still, the tweet comes off as yet another effort to deflect blame for the mess that was created when Irsay opted to channel Fall Out Boy and say "thanks for the memories . . . even though they weren't so great."

The meeting with Kanika Tekriwal, Founder of private jet operator JetSetGo, started almost 20 minutes past the scheduled time. Although she reached on time, she was attending to a call from a high-profile customer who was flying on one of her jets that evening. At the meeting venue, a cafe in South Delhi's Safdarjung Development Area, she grabbed the chair and went straight into conversation about herself and the start-up she had founded three years ago. She said she would put her phone on flight mode, otherwise it would keep interrupting. "Between 10 am and 6 pm, my phone is on steroids," she says. "We have a big servicing team but customers still want to talk directly with me. They start planning trips at 6 in the morning, and that's when I get calls. If I'm not always available, what's the difference between me and other operators?" she says, adding that her customers include top politicians and industrialists.
JetSetGo is replicating the luxury hotel model in the skies. But that's not how it started out. When e-commerce was gaining momentum a few years ago, Tekriwal started an online aggregation business for private jets - something like Uber - where passengers and private jet owners could transact. "Customers always said that booking a private jet was like rocket science. They got cheated, planes broke down, pilots didn't show up. We thought we would bring transparency and convenience. I was wrong," she says.
Taking the business online didn't solve the problem as JetSetGo was just an intermediary. The poor service of private operators hit JetSetGo's reputation as well. Then, Tekriwal saw that many aircraft owners were selling their planes due to losses. She took over some planes. Now, JetSetGo could control service, delivery, quality and customer experience. At present, JetSetGo's fleet of 22 aircraft - with average seatings of 10 - includes Falcons, Hawkers and Legacys, all of which are taken on management contract from aircraft owners. It has smaller planes and helicopters for back-up; it claims to have the largest fleet in the private aviation space in India.
Luxury Quotient
JetSetGo has been profitable since early days and has attracted two marquee investors - cricketer Yuvraj Singh-run YouWeCan and Puneet Dalmia of Dalmia Bharat Group. "We never went out to raise money. It took Yuvraj 40 minutes to convince me. I wasn't sure if I needed the money. Yuvraj is a customer-turned-investor. So is Puneet," says Tekriwal.
"The private jet industry is bound to take off in India. We are impressed by the passion of the promoter and feel this business has a chance to win and create value in the long term," says Amit Garg, who looks after business investments for Puneet Dalmia.
Nearly 60 per cent business comes from metros such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. It can fly across the world, yet the international demand is largely restricted to Europe, Africa and the Maldives. JetSetGo makes money in two ways - from customers and aircraft owners. The average per hour rates are `1.85 lakh, but charges depend on the duration of flight and customer profile. It pays owners on per-hour basis, but takes a share of their profits. It has turned loss-making private jet companies profitable. For instance, a private jet firm that it took over in December 2015 was losing about `40 crore at the EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) level. In the last financial year, it registered a `18.2 crore EBITDA; it also reported a small net profit.
"I have invested only `5,100 till date. We are targeting `300 crore turnover this year. I don't understand the idea of Flipkart and Uber losing millions in the hope of earning some [in the future]. I have to earn money in my lifetime and pay it back to my investors," says Tekriwal. An economics undergraduate with MBA, Tekriwal comes from a business family. The penchant of this 28-year-old first-generation entrepreneur for profitable growth could be documented into a management masterclass for a host of Internet start-up founders. ~

Mac McGinnis February 1, 2003 By understanding the different classes and characteristics of the most often used heating elements, users can be certain that they choose the right elements for their application.
Todays designers, specifiers and end users of electric furnaces and kilns are presented with a wide range of choices with respect to heating elements. As always, the details of any given application can influence the final selection and design of the appropriate electric heating element. However, by understanding the different classes and characteristics of the most often used heating elements, as well as the general guidelines for their selection, users can be certain that they choose the right elements for their application.
The fundamental operational limitation of any electric heating element is the maximum element surface temperature (MET). The maximum surface temperature is reached either when the basic element material begins to decompose (or change phase) or when the reaction of the element material with the furnace atmosphere proceeds so rapidly that it makes the element life unacceptably short. In general, limitations of elements are given in terms of the MET in a specific atmosphere. Since an electric heating element transfers heat by convection and radiation to the interior of the furnace and to the load, the element surface temperature is always higher than the furnace/process temperature during the heat-up and soak portions of the firing curve. The element surface temperature may even be higher than the furnace/process temperature during portions of the cool-down curve in order to compensate for heat losses to other areas of the furnace. Therefore, it is important to recognize that the maximum element surface temperature for a specific application will always be higher than the maximum furnace/process temperature (MFT). The difference can range from a few degrees to several hundred degrees, depending on the furnace power requirements and the design/sizing of the element. When screening element types for a specific application, only those types with a MET well above the expected maximum furnace/process temperature should be considered. A secondary, but nevertheless important, limitation is the maximum specific power loading of the element, which is generally specified in watts/cm2 or watts/in2 of element radiating surface area. This parameter is often simply referred to as the watt loading. In general, the higher the MET, the higher the maximum allowable watt loading. However, each type of element has an absolute maximum watt loading regardless of the element temperature. This limit is based on experience and relates to the deterioration of the basic element material on a microscopic level. Other practical limitations depend on the form and shape of the element, the element support system and the distortion of the element under mechanical/electro-magnetic load. Some of these limitations will be discussed further with respect to specific classes of elements.
Figure 3. Relative life of metallic alloys (air atmosphere, Kanthal A-1 at 1200 degrees C = 100%).
For the purposes of this discussion, three classes of elements are most often used in ceramic processing applications: Metallic (nickel-chromium [Ni-Cr] and iron-chromium-aluminum [Fe-Cr-Al]) Silicon carbide (SiC) Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) Other classes of elements include those made from refractory metals (molybdenum and tungsten) and graphite. Such elements are generally used only in vacuum or protective atmospheres and seldom are found in the ceramic industry. The METs in dry air for these three classes of elements are shown in Figure 1. The values are shown as bands corresponding to the range of METs for the different qualities of material within each class. Since the maximum furnace temperature (MFT) will always be less than the MET, one can draw the following general conclusions from Figure 1: If the MFT is below 1425 degrees C, all three classes of elements may be technically viable, meaning the selection will depend on the application and economic considerations. If the MFT is in the range of 1425 to 1650 degrees C, SiC and MoSi2 are both possibilities. If the MFT is above 1650 degrees C, a MoSi2 element is the only possibility. With the exception of a few special conditions, which will be mentioned later for specific element classes, there are technically no lower limits on element temperature. However, using an element from a class with a high MET in an application where the MFT is far below the MET can be unnecessarily costly. Typical absolute maximum (dry air) watt loadings for the three classes of elements are as follows:
Metallic 8 to 12 W/cm2 SiC 10 to 15 W/cm2 MoSi2 20 to 30 W/cm2 These recommended maximums can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and for element quality within each element type. Practical design limit watt loadings will always be lower due to the influences of MET, furnace atmosphere and element geometry. All types of electric heating elements share the requirement that the necessary process heat be generated by the portion (s) of the element within the kiln or furnace and that the heat generated in the cold ends of the element, which extend through the furnace wall, be relatively small to avoid overheating and excessive heat losses. This requirement is met by reducing the electrical resistance of the cold ends by one of several techniques. For metallic, MoSi2 and some SiC elements, cold ends are used that are larger in diameter than the hot zone. For constant diameter SiC elements, the required resistance ratio is achieved by lowering the resistance of the cold ends. This is accomplished by siliconizing the ends to reduce the resistance or by ceramically joining cold ends of a different, low resistance SiC composition to the hot section(s).
Metallic Elements
Metallic elements have the advantage of being available in both a wire and strip form, which enables them to be formed and fabricated by conventional metal-forming techniques into a variety of shapes and sizes. Additionally, heating systems employing metallic elements can be designed to operate on line voltage, while systems using SiC and MoSi2 elements generally require transformers. Metallic elements are also typically less expensive than SiC and MoSi2 elements for the same power output. However, metallic elements also have a relatively low MET; they are not self supporting; and their resistance increases with time due to reduction in cross-section by oxidation and elongation (creep), resulting in decreased power output and eventual failure. The effects of these limitations can be minimized by selecting the appropriate element material and element configuration for the MFT and the furnace atmosphere, and by avoiding operation outside of the design envelope. The physical properties of a family of resistance heating alloys are shown in Table 1. Within each series, composition
variations and manufacturing subtleties result in a range of quality in terms of MET and electrical resistivity. In general, the higher the MET, the higher the cost of the material. For a specific application, the information in Table 1 can be used to identify one or two candidate alloy qualities that have METs somewhat above the MFT for the application, but not so far above it as to be unnecessarily costly. Effects of selected furnace atmospheres on MET are shown in Figure 2 for a Fe-Cr-Al alloy and a Ni-Cr alloy. The limits shown for the Fe-Cr-Al alloy correspond to pre-oxidized material. In general, the performance of Fe-Cr-Al alloys is improved by pre-oxidation, especially if the furnace atmosphere is neutral (nitrogen or exothermic) or reducing (hydrogen or endothermic). Ni-Cr alloys should not be used in furnaces having exothermic or endothermic (carburizing) atmospheres because they are subject to preferential oxidation of the chromium (green rot) in the 800-950?C temperature range. The lowest METs correspond to operation in vacuum, because the protective oxides on the surface of the element are more readily decomposed at elevated temperature under high vacuum conditions. Metallic element life is primarily a function of temperature, atmosphere and thickness of the element material (wire or strip). The larger the wire diameter and the thicker the strip, the longer it takes for the element to oxidize to the end of its life. Typically, resistance heating alloy manufacturers recommend the use of a minimum of 3 mm diameter for wire and a minimum of 2 mm thick for strips in industrial heating applications. Another important influence on the life of a metallic element is the type of servicecontinuous or intermittent. Heating and cooling cycles cause thermal stresses that can damage the protective oxide surface on the element, thus exposing unoxidized material, accelerating the rate of oxidation and shortening the life of the element. Spalling of the surface oxide of Ni-Cr elements can contaminate the product, while the oxide of Fe-Cr-Al is more adherent and tends to resist spalling. The effect of temperature on the relative life of the various members of a Fe-Cr-Al/Ni-Cr resistance heating alloy family is shown in Figure 3. The MFT is 1200 degrees C, and the reference point is the Fe-Cr-Al alloy. The superior life of the Fe-CrAl alloys is apparent. Since in-depth economic analyses typically indicate the first cost of a Fe-Cr-Al element to be less than that of a Ni-Cr element for the same application, Ni-Cr elements have a much higher life-cycle cost and are therefore used primarily as replacements in existing Ni-Cr element systems or in special applications.
Silicon carbide elements are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes (see Photo #1). They are also self-supporting, which enables them to be used in furnaces that are too wide or too long to be spanned by metallic or MoSi2 heating elements. They are capable of higher operating temperatures and higher watt loadings than metallic elements and are relatively easy to change while the furnace is hot. Disadvantages of SiC elements include the fact that they require more costly power control equipment than metallic elements (multi-tap transformer required); their electrical resistance increases with time (aging), meaning more
maintenance attention (transformer tap changing and group replacement) is required than for metallic or MoSi2 elements; and they are made of a ceramic material, so there is a risk of fracture. Silicon carbide element manufacturers typically produce a family of elements using different grades of material and different manufacturing techniques to tailor each product to a specific range of application. Some characteristics of a typical family of SiC elements are shown in Table 2. Effects of furnace atmosphere on SiC element MET are shown in Figure 4 for a standard element and two similar highperformance elements. Again, the lowest METs correspond to operation in vacuum, both because any protective silicon dioxide layer formed by pre-oxidation will deteriorate under hard vacuum and because SiC actually vaporizes at elevated temperature under high vacuum conditions. As noted previously, all SiC heating elements oxidize (or otherwise react with the furnace atmosphere) and increase in resistance during their life in operation. Eventually they either can no longer generate sufficient heat or they fail mechanically, and in either case they must be replaced. Traditionally, SiC heating element power supplies have been designed to supply full rated power even if the element increases in resistance to four times the new element resistance (a 300% resistance increase). Practically speaking, such a high resistance increase is seldom reached. An allowance for a factor of two to three increase (100-200%) is usually sufficient. When a group of SiC heating elements is exposed to the same temperature and atmosphere, the resistance increase after a given period of operation will differ among the elements due to manufacturing variances and local variations in the environment. As long as the elements are connected electrically in parallel, the effects of this variation are minimal. However, if the elements are connected in series, the situation is potentially unstable. The current (I) is the same through all elements in series, so the element with the highest resistance (R) will generate more heat (I2R). This causes the element to run hotter and age more rapidly, and this process continues until the element fails. The best electrical arrangement is a straight parallel connection of all elements in a group; if a series connection is necessary, best practice dictates it should consist of no more than two elements. The factors that influence the life of a SiC heating element are generally the same as those that determine the life of metallic heating elements. Temperature and composition of the furnace atmosphere, watt loading, type of service (continuous or intermittent), and operation and maintenance techniques all come into play. Assuming the element selection conforms to good practice based on furnace temperature and atmosphere considerations, operation and maintenance practices become very important. An in-depth review of these considerations is beyond the scope of this article, but matching of element resistances and, if necessary, group replacement to accomplish such matching, are key factors. In especially aggressive atmospheres, SiC element life can be improved by applying special glazing and coating treatments. In extreme cases, SiC elements can be encased in metallic or ceramic tubes to protect them from the surrounding environment.
Figure 4. Maximum element temperatures for silicon carbide elements in selected atmospheres.
Molybdenum disilicide elements are available in a variety of shapes and sizes (see Photo #2) and feature the highest operating temperatures and watt loadings of the elements under consideration. They also have stable resistance, which allows new and old elements to be connected in series. Fast thermal cycling is possible without element degradation, and the elements are relatively easy to change while the furnace is hot. MoSi2 elements also offer the longest inherent life of all electric heating elements. One disadvantage of MoSi2 elements is that more costly power control equipment is required compared to metallic elements (low voltage/high startup current, transformer required). MoSi2 elements are also the most expensive of the elements under consideration, and, like SiC elements, they are made of a ceramic material so there is a risk of fracture. Molybdenum disilicide element manufacturers also typically produce several grades of elements, with the primary difference being the MET. Effects of furnace atmosphere on the MET of one family of MoSi2 elements are shown in Figure 5. As indicated, the elements have METs of 1700, 1800, and 1850 degrees C, respectively, in air. The METs in non-air atmospheres and vacuum are significantly higher than those for metallic or SiC elements due to the stability and regeneration characteristics of the protective layer that forms on the surface. If the elements are used at low temperature in air, an oxidation can occur at around 550 degrees C that produces a yellowish powder on the element surface. This socalled pest oxidation has no detrimental effect on the performance of the MoSi2 heating element, but is a potential source for product contamination, so operation in this temperature range should be avoided. If the element design conforms to good practice based on furnace temperature and atmosphere considerations, the life of MoSi2 elements can be very long. More often than not, element replacement is brought on by mechanical damage during loading/unloading and maintenance operations or by improper installation, which introduces mechanical stresses and results in breakage. Another major reason for replacement is overheating and/or electrical/arcing damage to the terminal area. Proper maintenance of the element sealing provisions and the electrical connections will minimize replacements due to such damage. In recent years, new MoSi2 elements have been introduced to meet the rapidly evolving needs of furnace temperature cycles and atmospheres (and other requirements, such as cleanliness).* These elements feature qualities that are
optimized for specific applicationssuch as high temperatures in reactive atmospheres (e.g., nitrogen), extreme temperatures with changing atmospheres, high temperatures and rapid cycling in laboratory and high-temperature sintering furnaces, and contamination- sensitive high temperature processesand represent a significant advancement in MoSi2 element technology. Such elements provide the furnace designer and the end-user with a fresh set of options for solving problems and reducing operating costs associated with new and existing furnaces using MoSi2 elements.
Figure 5. Maximum element temperatures for molybdenum disilicide elements in selected atmospheres.
The number of options within a given heating element class is ever increasing, and the overlap in the range of application of the classes is growing as well. The information and guidelines presented here are intended to be sufficient to narrow the range of heating element options for a specific application and/or to enable a general assessment of the validity of a proposed solution. However, the detailed specification and design of electric heating elements is best left to either a highly-qualified electric furnace/kiln builder, an experienced and unbiased electric heating system consultant, or a fullrange electric heating element supplier who has no bias toward a particular class of element.
*These new elements were developed by Kanthal, headquartered in Hallstahammar, Sweden, and are available under the trade names Kanthal Super RA (for high temperatures in reactive atmospheres), Kanthal Super ER (for extreme temperatures with changing atmospheres), Kanthal Super HT (for high temperatures and rapid cycling in laboratory and high-temperature sintering furnaces) and Kanthal Super NC (for contamination-sensitive high temperature processes).

A Place to Bury Strangers
Dead Oceans
Jul 03, 2012 Web Exclusive
The self-proclaimed loudest band in New York sure did run out of things to say by their third record. To be fair, Worship speaks through a tremendous instrumental palette, one that suits and occasionally upgrades the tradition of post-punk songscapes that birthed it. These riffs are durable, haunting portraits of a highly contemporary daymare that suggest some cinematic hybrid of Drive and Blade Runner—inspired stuff to say the least.
But unlike their forebears in, say, Joy Division, vocal delivery and lyrics are clearly not their strong points. In fact, the singing part of their songwriting is an afterthought so underdeveloped in relation to the quite fantastic music behind it that it's almost distracting. You've heard it all before—coy urban ennui hiding behind reverb and echo, unassertive and only serving to avoid the dreaded "instrumental" tag. While a handful of modern bands make effective use of vocals as a non-narrative "layer," others need to man up and decide whether they have anything to share verbally. A Place to Bury Strangers, for all their worthy talents, find themselves in the latter camp.
While Worship occasionally soars on its own beautiful anonymity, it misses the bar set by a line of charismatic frontmen who exposed themselves through compelling narratives. All the customized guitar pedals in Brooklyn can't compete with that kind of volume. (www.aptbs.tumblr.com)

So you've decided to save some money this year by crafting a funny, on-message, stealth viral campaign.
Congratulations. You've already failed.
Here is the sad, honest truth that keeps a lot of creative people cranking out a lot of subpar home videos and releasing them to the web:
Viral is a lottery ticket. So many factors have to be working with you that it is impossible to predict the success and failure of any one idea, no matter how brilliantly conceived and on-target. In fact, the brilliantly conceived, on-target viral campaigns are the most doomed to fail. Here's why:
It's not the perfect storm. For a viral campaign to really catch fire, every wind has to be blowing in your direction. For ten years now, everyone in Hollywood has been trying to recreate the campaign for The Blair Witch Project. This just happened to be the first movie that utilized the web as its main promotional medium, by creating a virtual, creepy, unpolished world that heightened the verisimilitude of the movie itself. It couldn't have been done after that, it couldn't have been done prior to that. It only worked because there happened to be dramatic technological upheaval and a new form of communication.
The idea has come and gone. Let's stay with arguably the most successful viral movie campaign of our lifetimes, Blair Witch. In the wake of that film, a hundred movies tried to do exactly the same thing with a thousand times the budget. But viral is a fickle mistress: once you've seen it, it's over. I mean, over. The target for Blair Witch probably didn't notice the desperate attempts to catch their attention, because they saw it the first time, when it was still cool.
Your competition has multiplied. By a million. When you make the leap to the web, you're no longer competing for eyeballs with other marketers. You're competing for eyeballs with everyone who owns a computer. There are a million people in Los Angeles alone trying to craft "viral" videos to advance their career, to land an agent, to hit the big time – and they don't have a product to push. Andy Samberg creates a viral video on SNL every couple of weeks, has a million people watch it on television, and (aside from Lazy Sunday) still can't get much viral traction. Professional entertainers can't do this. It's hard.
You're smarter than a doorknob. Afro Ninja. Numa Numa. Star Wars Kid. Some of the most popular viral videos of all time. What do they have in common? They are viscerally stupid. They're humiliating. They are the web equivalent of a blooper reel. If you're smart enough to say the words "viral marketing campaign," you've intellectually excluded yourself from being able to judge whether a viral video will succeed or fail. Your sense of humor is not America's. Please trust us.
You can embarrass yourself. A lot. Because the most successful viral videos tend to be the most outrageous, marketers frequently assume that outrageousness will get noticed. This is deadly thinking. For every Bruce Campbell Old Spice or JC Penney's ad that gets traction, there are a thousand misfires, some of them crippling. Agency.com is a smart agency in general. How did this happen? But by far, the majority of viral efforts just never get noticed at all. And that's embarrassing enough.
Viral does not mean free. Pay to play, baby. Unless your video features NSFW images of people doing unspeakable things (or a skateboarding cat) you can't just release into the wild on its own and expect some sort of wildfire runaway hit. You want people to know about it? You want your viral thingy to get seen? You better be prepared to ante up for that viral goodness.
This is not a screed against web content in general. The smartest thing you can be doing is looking for new opportunities to spread your marketing message via the internet. Just don't go looking for the viral force to be with you.

How to Add Triggers to the Edge Animate Stage
Adobe Edge Animate CC enables you to add Stage triggers — essentially commands that control how the animation plays. To add Stage triggers, you have to perform a number of steps in a certain order. The following procedure shows how to add a loop to your animation through a Stage trigger.
1Create an animation sequence to which you can add the Stage trigger.
For example, draw an element on the Stage using the drawing tools and then create an animation sequence.
2Position the Playhead on the Timeline where you want the Stage trigger to fire.
You could, for example, set a trigger at the end of the animation.
3Click the Insert Trigger icon as identified in this figure.
When you click the Insert Trigger icon, the Trigger menu opens (refer to the figure).
4With the menu open, click a trigger item on the right, for a loop, choose Play from.
Doing so inserts code into the window on the left (see this figure).
5Click the X in the top-right corner of the Trigger box to close and save your trigger.
You see a Trigger icon in the Timeline, as identified in this figure.
To see your loop in action, you need to preview it in a browser. To preview your animation in a browser, from the main menu, click File and then Preview in a Browser (see this figure).
Congratulations! You now have a loop within your animation.
You can add a label or designate a time in the Trigger box if you want your animation to loop back to a certain point in the Timeline instead of returning to the beginning.

Last week's market action confirmed the ongoing importance of Global Monetary Policy as a theme on our Macro Radar. After being down 2.45% mid-week, global equities (as measured by the MSCI All-Country World ETF) rebounded 4.50% to finish the week in the black by just over 2%. The directional reversal came complements of European Central Bank president Mario Draghi when he said the following in a speech delivered at an investor conference in London:
Within our mandate, the ECB is prepared to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough.
A lot has been made of this simple statement over the past five days, confirming once again that we remain in a policy-driven market environment.
A potential inflection point?
It has long been debated to what extent the ECB will be willing (or even legally capable) of engaging in outright bond purchases of Eurozone countries' sovereign debt. Such programs have already been implemented throughout this crisis, but such efforts have been limited and have fallen short of anything akin to the US Fed's quantitative easing programs in which they "print" additional money for the purpose of purchasing Treasury bonds on the open market. Draghi's comments last week are clearly being interpreted by the market that the ECB is on the verge of taking their bond purchasing to another level.
Why would the ECB be considering this, and what difference will it make? The chart below tells the story. Since the beginning of the European crisis there has been a growing divergence between 10-year yields on US and Spanish debt. Remember, Spain is struggling with the negative feedback loop of economic recession, diminished tax revenue, gaping fiscal deficits, bloated debt levels and higher refinancing costs. If you think logically through this progression you'll notice that each problem leads to the next in a self-reinforcing cycle.
What separates the US from Spain in this instance is that the US can at least still borrow money in the open market – and do so at incredibly cheap rates. The existence of record low interest rates (complements of the Federal Reserve and the favored status of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency) means that the debt service burden is far more manageable in the US than it is in Spain. This is the motivating factor for Draghi and the ECB to consider more direct bond purchases. By bolstering demand for peripheral sovereign debt they would hope to push long-term rates lower and alleviate the pressure from at least one of the links in the feedback loop described above. While this would, indeed, extend the timeline for certain negative outcomes from this crisis, it does nothing to address the more structural issues at play.
Furthermore, there are clear hurdles to the ECB implementing outright bond purchases in large scale. Germany has historically been reticent to endorse this action without more political and fiscal cooperation from the peripheral countries struggling to trim deficits and debt. Just this weekend German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble made the following statement:
The high interest rates are painful and they create a lot of concern – but it's not the end of the world if one has to pay a few percent more at a few bond auctions.
Despite these hurdles, Draghi's recent comments appear to be calculated and premeditated, and it is unlikely that he would have hinted at additional policy stimulus without consensus amongst the decision makers that will be responsible for making it happen. Thus, we would expect some amount of follow up to come out of the ECB meeting this Thursday, but whether or not it fulfills the hopes and expectations of a market eager for more stimulus remains to be seen.
How should we respond?
We remain underweight in risk assets across the board in our client portfolios. This positioning is driven primarily by our quantitative risk management program, MarketVANE, but is also influenced by our macro convictions – particularly our anticipation of changes in global monetary policy. Given this defensive position, we are currently at risk of not fully participating in any relief rally that may ensue on the back of aggressive new policy announcements from the ECB this week. That said, a number of our quantitative signals are in the process of, or close to, turning bullish again, and our current positions in gold, gold mining stocks and emerging markets would likely benefit more than the broader market should central bank policy be the tailwind pushing risk assets higher.

Product Description
The O3 Fruit and Vegetable Washer is a revolutionary NEW design for cleaning Fruits and Vegetables. The 03 Fruit and Vegetable Washer applies our own patented enamel-coated stainless tube to produce ozone that kills bacteria, decomposes pesticide, removes heavy metals, removes hormones and cleans all debris and dirt from fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other produce without any secondary pollution.
How it works?
The O3 Fruit and Vegetable Washer is one of the most effective ways available to kill bacteria and destroy residual pesticides and fertilizers. Therefore reduced risk of stomach cramps, headaches and long-term ailments from exposure to pesticides and herbicides in fruits and vegetables.
The O3 Fruit and Vegetable Washer applies a churning current to physically wash the dirt off of the vegetable's surface while simultaneously employing an electronic ozone generator to ionize the O2 in the air to O3 (ozone), which is then released into the machine through the pump. The powerful oxidation effects of ozone cause pesticide degradation, toxin oxidization, sterilization and disinfection. Ozone degrades to common oxygen and water after approximately 15 minutes leaving no pollutants to harm the environment.
Why the O3 Fruit and Vegetable Washer?
Ozone Cleaning – Ozone is 500 to 2000 times more effective than Chlorine (Pool Acid) as a cleaning agent without any contamination or secondary pollutants.
100% Safe – Ozone decomposes to oxygen and water.
Timer – Hassle-free washing. Set the timer to the time required and then leave machine unattended until washing cycle is complete.
CE Certification – CE Approval offers peace of mind to you that the product meets all requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.

RIANZ withdraw one of first cases to Copyright Tribunal
The RIANZ has withdrawn one of the first three cases to go to the Copyright Tribunal. The withdrawal happened after all submissions had been made but before the formal hearing at the Tribunal.
Tech Liberty helped the defendant with her submission along with assistance from Susan Chalmers at InternetNZ and a very solid pro bono contribution from Kate Duckworth at Baldwins.
The case
The defendant was a student in a flatting situation and was the account holder for the flat's shared internet account. She has never used file sharing software and we had to explain to her what it was and how it worked. It seems likely that one of her flatmates had it installed.
The flat never received the first detection notice and they didn't really understand the second warning notice. She did show it to her flatmates and asked them to stop doing anything they were doing. They denied doing anything, so she checked to make sure that their wireless network was properly protected by a password in case they had been hacked. The third notice was a mess - addressed to the wrong person, Telecom eventually withdrew it and replaced it with another one.
Then came the notice from the Ministry of Justice that action was being taken against the account holder. The defendant was very upset and worried, and contacted her local Citizen's Advice Bureau for help, who put her on to us.
The claims
RIANZ claimed a total of $2669.25 in penalties. This was made up as follows:
- $1075.50 as the cost of the music.
- $373.75 to repay the cost of the notices and tribunal fee.
- $1250 as a deterrent.
The cost of the music was calculated as being five tracks (total number of notices) multiplied by the $2.39 cost of each track on the iTunes store. The observant may notice that this works out to $11.95 rather than $1075.50. RIANZ decided, based on some self-serving research, that each track had probably been downloaded 90 times and therefore the cost should be multipled by 90. There is no basis in the Copyright Act or Tribunal regulations for this claim.
The effects
When we met the defendant she was very worried about the case and what it would mean for her. It caused her significant distress and preparing a defence interrupted both her studies and her part time job. The thought of a $2669 penalty weighed heavily on her and her plans for the future.
She immediately cancelled the flat's internet account and her and her flatmates were from that point without an internet connection at home. Obviously this was not good for their studies, social lives or personal business (e.g. online banking).
The flatmates refused to acknowledge any responsibility or offer to pay any money towards the penalty. Relationships in the flat broke down and the defendant left the flat soon after.
The defence
The defence concentrated on three aspects:
- The unfairness of the account holder being penalised for someone elses alleged infringement.
- Technical faults with the notices (see below).
- Criticism of the outrageously high sum requested by RIANZ as a penalty.
You may note that there is no denial that the infringing had occurred. This was not because the defendant admitted doing it or even that one of her flatmates admitted it. It's because there is really no way to prove that the allegations are true or false.
The notices from Telecom had a number of technical faults, of which the main ones were:
- Telecom sent out an incorrect notice then withdrew it and sent out another. Even the corrected notice had some errors and used different infringement numbers and the whole situation was very confusing.
- The second and third notices did not specify which first and second notices they were following on from, as required by the regulations. This made working out the timelines very difficult.
- The corrected third and final enforcement notice was sent for an infringement that happened within the 28 day stand down period after the warning notice, which means it was not a valid enforcement notice.
The defendant did ask the Copyright Tribunal for a formal hearing which she intended to attend.
The withdrawal
The defendant sent a submission to the Copyright Tribunal along with her request for a formal hearing.
A couple of weeks later she received notice from the Tribunal that RIANZ had withdrawn their claim and the file was closed. We do not know why RIANZ chose to withdraw their claim.
The law is unjust and unfair
This case exemplifies just how unjust and unfair the law is.
If you are the account holder you will be responsible for the actions of anyone using the account. There is no way for non-technical people to monitor or control what their flatmates or other people sharing the internet connection are doing. Even IT professionals would struggle to do so with the normal tools available on a home network.
The provisions in the law allowing for an internet account to be cut off have been suspended for now. This was because it is becoming increasingly clear that an internet account is becoming critical for engaging in modern society. However, the effect of this law was still the same - the defendant panicked at these allegations and cancelled her account, cutting off her entire flat from the internet.
The law is meant to act as a deterrent to infringing copyright, but the way it is written it is actually an incentive. "Just use a connection that doesn't have your name on the account and they'll be be the one who is penalised!" The only deterrent is to becoming an internet account holder.
Protecting yourself
How can you protect yourself against this unfair and unjust law?
- Don't be the account holder. See if you can persuade your flatmates, family member or business to be the internet account holder so that they'll be the ones who are penalised. Of course this is just protecting yourself at the expense of someone else.
- Don't use peer to peer file-sharing software to download copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder. Tell anyone sharing your connection not to do so either.
- If you do receive a notice, examine it very carefully to check whether it is valid. Our article about valid infringement notices might help.
- If you get a second, warning, notice, cancel your account with that ISP and switch to a new one. This will reset the count.
- If you get summonsed to the Tribunal, spend the time to write a proper submission in your defence and ask for a formal hearing.
Ultimately, the only real protection is to get the law changed.
Feel free to contact us if you have received copyright infringement notices and would like some advice or assistance.
Err… NO…Ultimately, the only real protection is to abide with the articles recommendation #2 namely:
Don't use peer to peer file-sharing software to download copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder. Tell anyone sharing your connection not to do so either.
Even that isn't necessarily enough. We don't know enough about the detection methods being used. It's entirely possible that you could be detected to be infringing even when you are not (there are plenty of examples of this with overseas studies).
In this case, given that no one with access has admitted any involvement we don't know for sure if there was infringement and there really is no way that anyone can know.
> It's entirely possible that you could be detected to be infringing even when you are not
For p2p it's pretty easy to determine if a particular account has participated in exchange of some particular content. So, from technical point of view – it's easy and 100% correct process.
The flatmates all deny the allegations – we have seen no evidence, only an allegation. So even following your advice and not using P2P software would not enough to stop a mere allegation causing all the strife describe here.
All the advices are about how to cheat better, and I haven't seen the only **REAL** protection advice: don't download illegally.
"Ultimately, the only real protection is to get the law changed." — it's just the nonsense.
Let's protect car thieves then by changing the law to something that allows to steal cars.
When you can download cars over the Internet, that's when your analogy will hold. Until then, no.
How the ease of breaking the law justifies the violators?
There are the laws. And you don't have the choice other than to follow them. It doesn't matter if you can do that by pressing a single key or something – it's still a violation.
> Until then, no.
So what's your point then? What would you propose to change in laws?
As an account holder, how can you even begin to monitor this sort of thing if your ISP can't, or won't give you information about which websites are being accessed from your account. Telstra Clear used to provide this some years ago, then stopped. When I asked recently, they gave me some BS about the Privacy Act. Yeah, right.
> how can you even begin to monitor this sort of thing
Technically it's possible. If you're the only consumer – install some software to do that, otherwise – set up a router, which can do so.
>install some software to do that, otherwise – set up a router, which can do so.
You seem to know all about this, which is awesome because everyone else here says that's not possible. Can you provide us with the name of the software that'll do that?
Uhm, any personal firewall can monitor your current connections and collect some statistics about that.
Let's say Outpost Firewall or Comodo (if you're windows user)
But the correct setup may require extensive knowledge (which is not the case here – we're discussing about possibility).
Or, if you use linux as a desktop machine – it's even easier to do that, as long as there are number of possible solutions (but I sure the linux people wouldn't ask that)
So you will need an IT degree in linux administration or a business grade router (up to $10,000) to properly monitor your shared internet connection? I suspect that is not realistic for any home user.
What a few people here seem to be forgetting is that p2p software is an extremely powerful tool that has many useful applications, and if you must use the car analogy, you can use a car to visit family and friends much faster then walking, or you could use one to run someone over, just like p2p can be used for very legitimate purposes (I use them mainly to transfer large audio session files for mixing/mastering etc easily) it can also be used to download illegally, the question is does the law need to be changed so that you are not denying people the technology that can help culture and commerce etc simply to protect a company that has vested interests in retaining control over a particular song/movie etc, all the while remembering the sole purpose of copyright is to provide a temporary incentive to creators in order to 'promote science and the useful arts'. Copyright is NOT a system put in place to perpetually allow creators (or in most cases these days copyright holders who are often not the creators) to retain unlimited market control, encouraging innovation is about balancing between having a healthy public domain and allowing a creator to earn a living off a work for a limited amount of time
If the part about car was a reference to me – then seems I was misunderstood.
I'm not against p2p – it's a wonderful technology. My spotify player currently uses it to stream the licensed content. My skype IM also uses to stream voice and video.
What I wanted to say is that instead of giving advice like "Just don't steal and everything will be ok" the article ends with something like "Continue stealing but just use another technologies".
The article ends with this line:
>Ultimately, the only real protection is to get the law changed.
This says nothing about continuing to copy or using other technologies. Nor are other technologies mentioned anywhere in the article.
Ivan your analogy is wrong. Copyright infringement is nothing like stealing a car. If you want an accurate analogy instead of one that can't even legally be defined as the same thing. One is a civil business matter the other is theft. Think about Lars Ulrich waking up in the morning and noticing one of his lamborghini's is missing, compared to Lars waking up and finding out someone out there has covered his song on a ukulele in a divey bar in South Auckland. I agree these laws were drawn up to protect artists and to up hold their rights, fair enough, but don't compare people circumventing copyright to thieves. It's incorrect technically, morally and even in correct to the spirit of copyright.
I agree the current law is far from ideal. But still it is a bad justification for the violation. Fair or not – it's a law and we have to respect it. And until the new one is published – we have no other ways other than just follow the current ones.
It is equally a moral duty of the citizen to oppose unjust laws and protest to get them changed. Respecting the law doesn't mean you have to agree with it.
Here's the part of the Copyright Act that talks about the bringing of unjustified proceedings http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1994/0143/latest/DLM346600.html . Does she now have a right to apply for an order for payment for damages? (assuming she's suffered an identifiable financial loss).
> I do hate copy/pasting a block of text just to urge someone to think a little.
Dude, it wasn't polite. If someone isn't enough proficient in english (which I mentioned explicitly) – it's not a reason to be such a jerk.
But anyway – if she wants – she might sue them.

BP accused Halliburton of destroying damaging evidence about the quality of its cement slurry that went into drilling the oil well that blew out last year and caused the nation's worst offshore oil spill.

Gulf Spill Report: Feds Take Some Blame
BP accused Halliburton of intentionally destroyed evidence about possible problems with its cement slurry poured into the deep-sea Macondo well about 100 miles off the Louisiana coast. To avoid blowouts, a driller must cement the well properly.
Also in the documents filed in a New Orleans federal court, BP accused Halliburton of failing to produce incriminating computer modeling evidence. BP accused Halliburton of claiming the modeling is gone.
BP asked U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to penalize Halliburton and order a court-sponsored computer forensic team to recover the missing modeling results.
Halliburton said the accusations were untrue.
The allegations in the 310-page motion ratcheted up the showdown among BP PLC and contractors, Halliburton and Transocean Ltd. The three companies have been sparring over blame for the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon blast, which killed 11 workers and led to the release of 206 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. So far, BP, the majority owner of the Macondo well, has footed the bill for the emergency response and cleanup.
Also involved are Anadarko Petroleum Co. and Cameron International Corp.
The first trial over the Deepwater Horizon disaster should start Feb. 27 in New Orleans. The first part should take about three months and determine the liability of each company involved in drilling the Macondo well. There will be other phases over cleanup costs, punitive damages and other claims.
Federal and independent investigations of the disaster have found fault in Halliburton's cement job because it failed to properly plug the well. Halliburton used a foamy cement slurry.
In Monday's court filing, BP accused Halliburton employees doing an internal investigation of the Macondo disaster of discarding and destroying early test results they performed on the same batch of cement slurry used in the Macondo well.
BP said Halliburton's chief cement mixer for Gulf projects testified in depositions the cement slurry seemed "thin" to him but that he chose not to write about his findings to his bosses out of fear he would be misinterpreted.
"I didn't want to put anything on an email that could be twisted, and turned," Rickey Morgan, the Halliburton cement expert, said in depositions. He worked at a laboratory in Duncan, Okla.
"Upon reviewing these latest testing results, Halliburton employees destroyed records of the testing as well as the physical cement samples used in the testing," BP said.

His social enterprise, founded in 2014, manufactures and sells premium soaps.
"I wanted to be referred to as a change-maker before graduating. I thought it was important for me to experience giving my all to a social issue as an undergrad in order for me to not have any regrets in life," Noh, 28, told The Korea Herald.
|A worker at Donggubat makes premium organic soaps at the company's factory in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. (Donggubat)
Among the company's 32 full-time workers, 20 are disabled.
The high percentage of disabled employees stems from Noh's management principle to hire one full-time disabled worker each time the company increases its monthly sales by 4 million won ($3,304).
"The firm started with a goal to offer a place for people with developmental disabilities to work, so we decided to hire (them) in line with the rise in sales," Noh said.
He added the company plans to expand the number of disabled employees to 30 by the end of the year.
Most disabled employees are divided into two groups and work four-hour shifts -- 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2 p.m.-6 p.m -- while some work eight hours a day.
Disabled workers at Donggubat have a full-time employment status and are covered by four key national insurance programs.
His first encounter with developmentally disabled people dates back to 2014 when he was an undergrad studying law.
Noh and three members of his university club started a gardening project in Gangdong-gu involving people with developmental disabilities as part of their social contribution project.
The project led to a second project in 2015 aimed at helping the disabled become independent by forming their own small garden.
The yearlong project failed to record sufficient sales.
"I had created the project without any understanding of people with developmental disabilities," Noh said.
"I realized that viewing it (employment of people with developmental disabilities) as a 'societal issue' that I can solve can come across as aggressive. Rather, we needed to discuss with them about what they need," Noh added.
While the project failed, it was a stepping-stone to look ahead and broaden his outlook as the leader of a social enterprise.
Donggubat supplies premium organic soaps, shampoos and conditioners to a range of hotels, including the Grand Walkerhill Seoul, Playce Camp Jeju and Hotel Cappuccino.
|High-end products made by Donggubat (Donggubat)
"Our high-end products have a competitive edge. We see them as cosmetics and hygiene products," Noh said.
The company produces an average of 4,000-5,000 products daily at two factories in Seongdong-gu.
Donggubat's products, recognized for their high quality and eye-catching packaging, are also exported to the US, Japan, China and Thailand.
The company's sales have grown 10-fold between 2015 and 2017, according to Noh.
In 2015, it recorded a little less than 70 million won in annual sales and the figure reached near 200 million won in 2016.
It wasn't until 2017 that the company took off and Noh was able to pay workers more than the minimum wage.
In 2017 the company recorded 700 million won in sales and last year it flagged its first-ever profit, enabling him to give employees their first incentive bonuses.
In order to meet the goal of hiring 10 more workers with disabilities by the year-end, Noh has set this year's sales goal at 2.5 billion won.
The company has taken off, but Noh remains meticulous and careful about every business decision.
"Donggubat is very conservative in terms of how the business is run. We can't ever make a choice that would jeopardize the company. This is what differentiates us from other startups," Noh said.
"We have to make safe choices. The moment we fall apart, the values we strive for will vanish."
Noh prioritizes stability in hopes that Donggubat's business model that incorporates people with developmental disabilities will be adopted by more companies.
"I am certain that in the future there will be more focus on people with development disabilities due to technological advancements. Those with physical disabilities will be able to live like regular people," Noh said.
"A large proportion of disabled people acquire disability after birth, while the cause of developmental disability is still not known."
On a personal note, Noh's next aim is to fund young adults like him who choose to start a social enterprise over going to law school to bring about change in society.
In doing so, he also hopes to give back the help he received from prominent entrepreneurs.
"I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this, but I hope one day I can be an investor. I want to help aspiring change-makers and social entrepreneurs facing the same struggles I had back when I was 24 years old. ... I too would not have made it this far without help from prominent businessmen. I received a lot of help from (SK Group) Chairman Chey Tae-won's venture capital and (Socar) CEO Lee Jae-woong," Noh said.
"I want to bring about a big change in society."

Home > For Physicians > Newsletter > PAST ISSUES > 2017 > March/April 2017 > Robotic Technology Brings New Hernia Repair Modality
Published on March 01, 2017
Dr. McGregor earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine and completed his residency in general surgery at Creighton University.
Using robotic technology to repair ventral, incisional and inguinal hernias is a novel approach, but it is steadily gaining interest in the field of minimally invasive surgery.
In 2014, use of robotic surgery accounted for less than 5% of all hernia repairs in the United States. "Today, nearly 25% of all hernia repairs are performed with robotic technology," said Patrick E. McGregor, MD, FACS, a general surgeon with Meritas Health Surgery & Trauma. Dr. McGregor began repairing hernias robotically in March 2016. He has performed 35 such surgeries in the past year and more than 200 robotic surgeries during in his medical career.
Recent studies indicate that robotic technology's 3-D visualization capabilities, enhanced precision, dexterity abilities, and complete physician control can make the procedure technically easier and possibly reduce complications and post-operative pain.
Robotic technology for hernia repair expands the indication to more complex hernias. "Historically, surgeons used the laparoscopic approach only on patients with bilateral hernias because the dissecting balloon divided both sides of the hernia, making the approach too aggressive for a single-sided hernia," Dr. McGregor explained. With robotic-assisted surgery, Dr. McGregor can address each side separately because he controls the dissection.
Robotic hernia repair also is well-suited for individuals with recurrent hernias. "When you repair a recurrent hernia robotically, you access tissue that hasn't been disrupted because the previous surgery most likely was done with an anterior approach," Dr. McGregor said. "The robotic procedure is done posteriorly from behind the abdominal muscle." Dr. McGregor added that the procedure is viable option for patients who have scarring after a prostatectomy.
Compared to open surgery incisions, significantly smaller incisions are needed with robotic surgery for inguinal hernia surgery.
Using robotic-assisted technology, Dr. McGregor can repair a hernia defect in a one-hour outpatient procedure while the patient is under general anesthesia. "In my experience, the most significant patient outcome between repairing a hernia robotically versus laparoscopically is the patient's post-operative pain level," Dr. McGregor observed.
Postoperative pain often is associated with the penetration of sutures used to adhere the mesh during laparoscopic surgery. Robotic technology allows surgeons to fix the mesh between the peritoneum and the defective area of the abdominal muscle without the need for tacks.
"Placement is so precise, so you don't need fixation," Dr. McGregor said. His patients report decreased post-operative pain, less need for pain medication and a quicker return to normal activities. A recent study revealed less time in the recovery room and a decreased level of pain medications were required in the PACU, he added.

THC, also known as Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive component found in the cannabis plant and generally the most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis. Concentrations vary plant to plan and is dependent on a host of factors.
CBD, also known as Cannabidiol is non-psychoactive and holds the richest medicinal pharmacopeia of any compound found in the cannabis plant. In fact this component in higher quantities is known to counter-act the effects of THC.
Cannabinol (CBN) is a weak psychoactive cannabinoid found only in trace amounts in Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica.[5] Pharmacologically relevant quantities are formed as a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol. Cannabinol has been shown to have analgesic properties.
Canabidiol Acid
- CBDa 00.01%
CBD, also known as Cannabidiol is non-psychoactive and holds the richest medicinal pharmacopeia of any compound found in the cannabis plant. In fact this component in higher quantities is known to counter-act the effects of THC.
