Thai junta pushes for speedy investment spending
[BANGKOK] Thailand's military government on Friday asked state-owned companies to accelerate investment spending after having disbursed just a quarter of the budget allotted for this fiscal year, the junta's latest effort to sustain economic momentum.
Southeast Asia's second-largest economy grew slightly more than expected in the March quarter, up 1.3 per cent on the quarter and 3.3 per cent on the year, led by exports and consumption. But it has lagged regional peers in recent years.
Government spending is crucial to driving the economy because private investment has yet to recover, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak told reporters.
"We want to make sure the economy will continue growing," he said, adding that first-quarter growth was also helped by state firms' investment.
State enterprises spent a combined 82 billion baht (S$3.3 billion), or about 24 per cent of the total of 339 billion baht, in the first seven months of the current fiscal year, which started in October.
However, the State Enterprise Policy Office is sticking by its target of at least 95 per cent disbursement, Director-General Ekniti Nitithanprapas told reporters.
Among the slow spenders, the State Railway of Thailand had disbursed only 14.1 billion baht during the period from October to April, compared to its total budget of 59.7 billion baht, he said.
Airports of Thailand spent 2.75 billion baht during the period, versus its budget of 11.8 billion, he said.
Big-ticket government infrastructure projects worth billions of dollars have been slow getting off the ground.
The government expects to spend between 160 billion and 170 billion baht on infrastructure projects this year, Finance Minister Apisak Tantivorawong said last month.

Falkland tensions grow ahead of invasion anniversary
Tensions over the Falkland Islands have been increasing ahead of the 30th anniversary of Argentina's invasion in 1982.
The latest escalation was prompted by the decision of Mercosur, a South American trading bloc, to close its ports to ships flying the Falkland Islands flag in December.
When British Prime Minister David Cameron then accused Argentina of "colonialism", the Argentine Senate passed a motion condemning his comments.
There were also demonstrations - with the Union flag burning - outside the British embassy in Buenos Aires.
Then the Royal Navy announced that it was sending the destroyer HMS Dauntless to the South Atlantic, off the Falklands.
The British government said the move was routine, but it will do little to ease tensions in the region.
National consensus
The status of the islands, known as the Malvinas in Argentina, is still a very sensitive issue for Buenos Aires.
In the capital, it is common to see posters highlighting the country's claim to the islands. Many Argentine cities also have monuments to the war, in which more than 600 soldiers died.
It is not uncommon either to see youngsters with tattoos of a Falklands map in the colours of the Argentine flag.
At a political level, feelings are no less intense.
National politics may be extremely polarised, but there is consensus between the government and the opposition over the country's claim to the islands.
"It is the centrepiece of Argentina's foreign policy," says Jorge Battaglino, lecturer in international relations at Torcuato di Tella University in Buenos Aires.
Growing support
Analysts agree that commemorations of the war will be more prominent this year than ever before.
Some say this is because it is the 30th anniversary. But it also coincides with a change of tack by the government, which is pushing more forcefully for talks with the UK.
Britain insists it will not open negotiation on the Falklands, as most islanders wish to retain British sovereignty.
Pollster Ibarometro says support among Argentines for the country's claim to the islands is traditionally at about 65-70%, but that Mr Cameron's comments boosted that to nearly 74%.
Ibarometro's director Pablo Lopez also says that there is growing support for the government's more aggressive approach.
"Since 2009, backing for the government's strategy has jumped from about 40% to 67%," he says.
A military government was in power in Argentina at the time of the 1982 invasion.
It was a time of social unrest, and the state was leading its so-called "dirty war" - a crackdown on left-wing activists which left an estimated of 30,000 people dead.
Yet support for the war was high.
For years, this has complicated the issue for Argentines, who have tried to disassociate support for the Falklands from support for the military dictatorship.
"People today have managed to separate both views," says sociologist Vicente Palermo.
"The Malvinas are seen as a national cause, regardless of whether there was a war over the islands sparked by an unpopular military government."
Cameron factor
Britain has held the islands since the 1830s, but Argentina insists it has a prior claim.
"It is an old national cause, and the military took advantage of this popular feeling to try to maintain their grip on the country," says sociologist Atilio Boron.
"The war only managed to delay the possible start of negotiations between Argentina and Britain," he adds.
After the war, Argentina suffered decades of internal economic and political strife, but the relative calm of the past decade has allowed foreign policy to come to the fore.
The election of Nestor Kirchner as president in 2003 marked an increase in Argentina's efforts to claim the islands, and the government has since actively sought support from other nations in the region and the UN.
Mr Kirchner and his wife Cristina - the current president - grew up in the Argentine Patagonia, in the south of the country, where the issue runs high because of the relative proximity to the disputed territory.
There is some debate in Argentina as to whether this explains the government's interest in the issue.
Some, like Mr Palermo, say that the official position is just an accurate representation of public opinion.
He says President Fernandez may also be using the Falklands to deflect attention from domestic issues.
Not everyone agrees.
"Why would the president do that? She has just been re-elected with strong support, the economy is growing and her popularity is high," says Mr Battaglino.
"It is David Cameron who is trying to deflect attention from domestic issues," says Mr Boron.
"The UK's economy is no better than Argentina's. It was not Buenos Aires that had social unrest and riots last year, but London," he adds.
The Argentine government believes the recent support from other countries in the region to their claim to the islands may have improved the prospects of Britain agreeing to open negotiations on the issue.
But so far, from the Foreign Office in London, there has been no indication of any change in the British stance.

The New Enemies Of Nepal
India's messages on the Nepal Constitution made conspiracy theories come to life. The rumours that Madhes-based parties were using India to stall half of the nation by using violence as a means of protest seemed truer than before. Many started seeing these parties as pawns to India's bigger plans. And when India tried to force the government to incorporate the demands of these small parties, it exacerbated the fears of many Nepalis. With this came hyper-nationalism, the "imagined enemy" that the radical Left had been creating for a long time.

Over on Slate, wine economist and MIT Media Lab denizen Coco Krumme (best byline ever? this writer votes "yes") does something simple yet brilliant: she breaks down precisely why a large swath of wine writing is mostly useless.
"Using descriptions of 3,000 bottles, ranging from $5 to $200 in price from an online aggregator of reviews, I first derived a weight for every word, based on the frequency with which it appeared on cheap versus expensive bottles," she writes. "I then looked at the combination of words used for each bottle, and calculated the probability that the wine would fall into a given price range."
The result? Fancy, ultra-specific descriptors ("tobacco," "focused cassis," "boysenberry") cling overwhelmingly to expensive bottles while more general and pedestrian words are used for the lesser (priced) wines.
Moreover: the fancy descriptors are rarely reproducible from taster to taster and often bewilderingly specific, in contrast to simpler terms. Her conclusion: "words like full, sweet, fruity, and dry are, unlike camphor, genuinely helpful. In an earnest effort to nix subjectivity from reviews, critics have gone too far, leaving us with a bag of adjectives that say a lot about price, and almost nothing about flavor." Maybe two-word wine reviews would be better?

Rapper J. Cole is turning his childhood home in North Carolina into a safe haven for single mothers living in poverty.
J. Cole titled his latest album "2014 Forest Hills Drive," after the address of the home where he used to live with his mom, brother, and stepfather.
After he graduated high school in 2003, the house was foreclosed while he attended university in New York City, but last year, he re-bought the property, and he recently revealed his big plans for the purchase.
During an interview on podcast series "The Combat Jack Show," Cole, real name Jermaine Lamarr Cole, announced he will be re-opening the home for women with multiple children, offering the space rent-free for two years.
He explained, "My goal is to have that (the house) be a haven for families. Every two years a new family will come in, they live rent-free.
"The idea is that it's a single mother with multiple kids, and she's coming from a place where all her kids is sharing a room. I want her kids to feel how I felt when we got to the house."
Cole's "2014 Forest Hills Drive" album was a hit when it was released last month, becoming his third straight number one record.

My little brother has ADHD and ADD (I think it means the same thing though.)and he has to get help with his concentration and he is not good at writing and collecting his thoughts. I love him though. He is an amazing child…but his mind is not always where it i supposed to be.
I have ADHD and I found this awesome video of this cute guy giving life saving tips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZHw1z-tH_Q
Good write-up, I am normal visitor of one's web site, maintain up the excellent operate, and It is going to be a regular visitor for a lengthy time. "Time has a wonderful way of weeding out the trivial." by Howard Aiken.
Hello, I just saw an Commercial from TV . I am trying to find a website .. own your ADHD.ca nothing yet so anyway, it is about one of my fraternal twin boys that have ADHD, is six years old, taking pills , hope that will work but I already signed up to get ADHD guide book , i am looking forward to read more about ADHD. I want to know more about ADHD because my son , David is very important in my life but of course , i have three kids ( including David).
My son was diagnosed with ADHD trying to avoid medication I read up on fish oil his teacher has little patients with him and it's a struggle especially because I know he is smart bright and creative his attention is just not there 90% of the time keeping him on special diets keeping the away he feels like I'm taking away so much from him I just wish his teacher and every body else could have the patients me and my husband have and I tell my son all the time that I live him so much and we are gonna do this together. His dreams of becoming a scientist and working with plants and rocks is gonna happen one day I love my son
i just wanna say a few things. i myself have adhd and was strugling with it and still do at times but for the most part i can control it with out meds which i was on up untill i was 17 im turning 19 in 5 months, i believe adha is a gift if u can figure it out cuz i know so talented and smart people who use their adhd to benifit them selves. iv been waiting for someojne to do this and im glad its finally happening
I am 20 yr's old and was diagnosed with ADHD at roughly 8-9 ,it was overlooked clinically.I was left back in the 1st grade due to my inability to sit still and I would talk out of turn or inappropriately.The hyperactivity and impulsiveness I had was later channeled into negativity. I usually would be picked on or I would pick on others.I somehow buckled down and got through H.S, though I could not grasp concepts or ideas that others could at the time.Last year I tried attending college with the right attitude but I learned early on that I could not go back mostly because I would blurt out answers,wrong or right. 3 weeks from this day I was Prescribed an ADHD medicine that acts immediately, according to my doctor and so far has been proven true.In general, I no longer become bored with routine but am focused on objectives and the task at hand
Great Q's and A's,
Wow…I only recently got diagnosed, and am overwhelmed with gratitude at the resources I have discovered since then! Seeing the video with Adam, I was glad to see the 'embrace it' message spoken so loud and clear, since I have been working with greater awareness every day thanks to what I have learned now that I know what I am dealing with. I am empowered by so many more tools that are practical and truly serve me, shifting so much struggle and frustration into improvement and progress. Those of us who were diagnosed later in life understand the battle it has been to blend in, when we have to work twice as hard to be consistent.
I am 34 years old and I was diagnosed with ADHD in my younger years and I struggled a lot mostly through my teenage years. Sometimes I admit it has caused me to stick out like a sore thumb. With it came foot in my mouth syndrome lol! My teenage daughter now has it as well and my younger daughter is showing signs. I know I am speaking lightly of it but three girls all with ADHD when the brain of a person with it is like trying to think while standing in the middle of new york subway station can make life a little more interesting. We try and support one another and come up with solutions to cope. I went though years and years of councilling with Dr's and therapists so I use what i have learned to help my children. It is nice to see an adult like Adam admit that he has it and that he is using his fame to help get the word out more. I was treated very different in life because of my ADHD and now as an adult I have built my own confidence to just embrace it!! I am who I am and I love who I am!!!
I can identify with your comment completely as if I would have said it myself,other than having children and being as old as you are. I a'm happy with where I a'm in life and yes I need to take a pill ounce a day to control my "spinning head" or how ever else you want to describe this unchangeable but to be accepted,fault.I love everything about myself,I wouldn't change a thing. There is no denying it,
"embrace it" and lets move forward.
Hello Dear, are you genuinely visiting this website regularly, if so then you will definitely obtain good experience.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in September 2012. The neurologist I met had never seen me, didn't know anything about me and in an hour after a small interview described my whole life, just like that it rolled down in front of my eyes. At first I was certain that he had made investigation about me, it was impossible that he could know so much about me. How could anyone had missed that diasnosis for so long. I had so much energy from what everyone was saying about me, I was able to accomplish so much with so little rest, I was a single mother for 12 years and I did it all, be a super mom, worker, friend and daughter or sister. I did everything while everyone else was enjoying life and resting. I didn't know what resting meant, even in a meditation class, I couldn't participate, I had to leave, I couldn't stand still. I went through high school being so miserable, always feeling inadequate, always feeling dump. I just couldn't grasp any maths or science. Every time I wrote , the teachers would say wow you have a great pen, but your ideas are going everywhere.
I went through life with a lot of suffering and rejections. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to because of learning certain subjects. I always had good job because the employer could see how affective I was and I would get hired and promotions all the time.
I have had people leaving or pushing themselves from my life because they were sure I was pushy, no I was just efficient and they could not stand the fact that I could do so much in so little time so they felt inadequate.
Now with this new information, I am able to understand and for me understanding means power to go where I want to be and to take action on how to concentrate. I have own my ADHD and not ashame of it, I do say it to people with a smile and they have no other choice to smile back and if they would not , I say to myself , it's their loss not mine. How can anyone be upset when you say who you are and be proud of it.
By coming out and telling my friends , I have given other people that were shy or ashame of different disorders to come out and to speak. I did realize by making this move, I have given those people a chance to be accepted with who they are. Those people came back to me and said thank you, I really felt that I had done my job and I will keep on opeining doors for others.
I will never be ashamed of ADHD, it made me a caring person and I can accomplish anything I want. I am owning my ADHD and it feels great.

This Is What A $1.2M Condo Looks Like In Brooklyn
For space-starved New Yorkers in search of real estate, the hip outpost of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is a welcome haven — but it comes at a price. According to StreetEasy, the median sale of a home in Williamsburg is $850M US, and we're sharing a look at what you can get for just over that price. A two-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in the charming Historic Greenpoint neighborhood was recently listed for $875K US (which translates to about $1.2M CAD). With great natural light, a master bedroom large enough to accommodate a king-size bed, and a kitchen bigger than the size of a shoebox, it may not be a brownstone, but it's many New Yorkers' idea of a dream home.
A red brick façade with a healthy dose of patina captures that quintessential New York aesthetic.
A gracious, book-lined entryway is a friendly welcome into the condo, which has a homey feel.
Light wood floors and white walls make way for perfectly on-trend furniture, as evidenced by the space's current setup.
Ideal for dinner parties, there's enough room for a six-person dining table — and it looks like the space has potential to accommodate something even bigger.
Worn grey subway tiles give the white galley kitchen an old-world feel. A white peninsula offers plenty of prep space.
A view of the open-concept living area reveals the quality of natural light, with sun streaming through at both ends of the space.
The master bedroom is more than spacious, with room for a king-size bed and then some.
The second bedroom is large enough to be shared between two little ones.
The condo's only bathroom could use a slight upgrade, but you can't beat the abundance of natural light.
Here is a look at the condo's floor plan.

Mucinous carcinoma of the cervix
Dr Daniel J Bell ◉ and Dr Yuranga Weerakkody ◉ et al.
Mucinous carcinoma of the cervix is an uncommon histological subtype of cervical cancer. It falls under the group of adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
On this page:
Radiographic features
As a general rule any mucin-producing tumor will produce very high T2 signal 1.
An enhancing lesion, irregular margin, and isointensity on T1 are features that would weigh towards a malignant lesion rather than a benign one 2.
Differential diagnosis
For more well-defined high T2 signal lesions on MRI, consider
- atypical nabothian cyst: tends to have high signal on T1 and no enhancement post contrast

Last night we read that Scott Hardkiss had died. We looked up to the Hardkiss Brothers in a big way when we were coming up in the young San Francisco dance scene. I think it's fair to say we idolized them.
So it's not only sad to learn that Scott has died … it hits close to home.
In 2000 we had the privilege to remix "Raincry" for release on Dorigen. Here's the remix for free download. Doesn't touch the original, but still one of our better remixes from that era.
Still a slim hope that Scott has faked his own death for publicity? Fingers crossed … not quite ready to accept the alternative.

.....and so it is that I find myself sat on a train on a wet Saturday afternoon in the cold and near dark having survived the Mayan apocalypse and the WTC Christmas do.
According to all the major news outlets today is last-minute-Saturday (I don't really hold much truck with this fad of naming days based on their retail opportunities or just position relative to a national holiday - but I'm sure I can have some fun with it). The last Saturday before Christmas Day and all those that waited to see if the world was going to end, now have to go and get their present shopping sorted all at a bit of a rush and with much swearing and jostling I suspect. Should probably be called Sweary Saturday.
Luckily Mrs G and I have been particularly well organised this year - so what am I doing on a train?
Well, the Wiltshire lads also have to have a Christmas do, and so a few of us are getting together in that other well known spa city (Bath) to celebrate the season, have a bit of a catch up and no doubt rather too many festive beverages.
Now, this being England and the weather being our main topic of conversation, last-minute-Saturday wouldn't be half as much fun without total and utter travel chaos caused by a few drops of rain. Sure enough, and on cue, the rail network has failed to run smoothly, aided by a fire in a signal box in Paddington and floods throughout large parts if the south west. That being said, my journey to Bath (via Bristol) is running smoothly all be it 20 odd minutes late.
This wasted time (just sitting and waiting) provides the perfect opportunity for me to actually get on and write something vaguely interesting (obviously that's somewhere else- Ed). Actually it's one of the rules of life which I recently stumbled upon (see below) and honestly, if you take note of them - life's a lot better than you think it might be.
Last time I promised I'd tell you what the X-37 is up to... Well here it is. Bear in mind this is tip top secret, not to be divulged to anyone, keep it under your hat and a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man - know what I mean? Say no more....
As you're aware the government have been trying to make some in-roads into tracking all of our Internet usage via various legal routes. Of course there are several groups who leap on their every move and stop it in its tracks citing things such as privacy and free speech and so on and so forth. This makes us all feel good and that we're winning the war for an open and free Internet for the benefit of all mankind.
And while we were busy looking into this huge pile of paperwork that the various governments of the world were creating we didn't see that they'd cancelled the space shuttle program in favour of the X-37 to deal with the Alien invasion and off planet storage of all human knowledge to a server farm on the dark side of the moon. Probably.
We all know that Aliens first made contact with the governments of the world in the late 1950's (although of course they'd been slowly and surely laying their plans against us for eons before that). Obviously when we as a populous first ventured into space, they couldn't have that and so had to make themselves known. This led to the governments of the world realising that to preserve human life they'd have to deal with the Aliens.
It turns out that Aliens like nothing more than looking at pictures of cats... Especially ones that are dressed up, or pulling strange expressions in unusual circumstances. Well, actually, not just cats. They like unicorns with rainbows shooting out of them, they like dogs dressed up as lawyers, they like knowing that "one simply does not walk into moordor" and all that other meme based comedy that makes the underbelly of the internet simply perfect for procrastination. The only way to stop an Alien eating your brain is to show it a picture of a cat/dog/random individual with a funny expression... And so "Can I haz cheezeburger" and 9gag (among others) were invented to protect us all. Memebase Alpha if you will.
With some governments unplugging or tampering with the internetz - memes were suddenly at risk and so a mahoosive server farm on the dark side of the moon has been constructed, (memebase) where a complete copy of all that sh1te that's online is kept. This way, should the unthinkable happen and the internetz fails thus leaving us wide open to alien attack, then our defences would in theory at least fail over to the dark side of the moon where Nyan cat, grumpy cat, lawyer dog and all the other time wasting pop culture distractions would keep us safe. Think of it as the dumb equivalent of the Star Wars programme from the 1980's
I'm pretty sure that's true, factual and correct - or it might not be.
So seriously... Have a very merry Christmas and enjoy your break if you're getting one. Here's the list of really helpful instructions for living life and generally enjoying it rather than letting it eat you.

After the first Gulf War ('91), when gas prices had risen and it seemed as though there would be a substantive change away from big vehicles (there had been some real changes and feints after the '73 and '79 oil crises), I happened to talk to one of the executives at one of the then-Big Three. The subject was manufacturing flexibility. Realize that Honda of America Manufacturing had been building Accords in Ohio since 1982, and Toyota had been building Camrys in Kentucky since 1988. Maybe in the case of the latter there wasn't a sufficient amount of time to mentally digest what was going on there in terms of manufacturing flexibility and capability, but it should be noted that there was the NUMMI joint venture between GM and Toyota that had been producing vehicles in California since 1984. However, Detroit didn't pay a whole lot of attention to what was going on in Fremont (not even people at GM).
There we were, talking about flexibility. And the executive in question told me about the blindingly fast changeover capability they'd achieved. It was measured in months. Admittedly, that was an improvement compared with past practice. There probably weren't any machine techs from suppliers on site so long that they joined the local bowling team. When I pointed out to him that Honda was able to change over its assembly line in a matter of days, not months, he responded with a tone of annoyance in his voice so solid that you could have walked around on it, "We make cars. We don't make motorcycles." When I tried to point out to him that I wasn't talking about the Marysville motorcycle plant, he was angrily dismissive. End of discussion. And that attitude is what has contributed, in large part, to the mess that the domestic auto industry is in. There had been a fundamental unwillingness to acknowledge that there were others with whom they were competing that had a better approach to manufacturing. It was, to bowdlerize an ode that doesn't deserve it, as though the Truth was: "Detroit is mass production, mass production Detroit-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Henry Ford put that assembly line in place in 1908, and for the subsequent years, what was to become the Big Three spent time optimizing mass production.
Flexibility is a matter of changing equipment and systems. While editors and reporters, unless they work for Advertising Age, I suspect, aren't supposed to do this, I'd like to point out that if you look at the ads that are in this magazine, you'll see the sorts of tools that are essential for flexible manufacturing. I dare say that there are few OEMs or suppliers who couldn't benefit greatly from this equipment or software, yet I suspect there would be a reticence to buy it: Times are tough, right? Does anyone think they're going to get any easier? But it is also about thinking-and doing. Another manufacturing exec at one of the Detroit Three is insistent he has plants that can make all manner of vehicles, that they are as flexible as anything that Toyota or Honda has. He's probably right. Unfortunately, there is a mass mindset at his company, so vehicles no one really wants get built; its flexibility is a talking point, not a strategic tool.)
Right now, pretty much every vehicle manufacturer on the planet is facing reduced sales. This is a global economic quake, not one that's limited here. But not all companies are as negatively affected as others. Those that have truly embraced flexible manufacturing are better able to accommodate the changes. I emphasize truly because nowadays there are far too many executives at the Detroit Three who cite The Machine That Changed the World chapter and verse, who imagine they are lean and responsive, and who may have some wonderful examples of manufacturing flexibility, yet are fundamentally still operating in the mass mode. When times were good, when people were buying pickups and SUVs like McDonald's hamburgers, it was back to mass optimization in Detroit. It was all about adding capacity for fixed, not flex. And we all know how that's worked out. So going forward, what will it be: fixed. . .or flex? I'm almost afraid to know the answer.

It's a Glove Mode. You can turn off it in settings of screen.
Whenever I take a photo in the sun where something green is in the frame (grass, trees) I get a huge swath of green lines that obscure the image. See attached photos. Any ideas on how to fix this??
The top plastic edge on my (purchased used) xz1 has fallen off. Remounting, repair, replacement (it is slightly damaged)? Have tried to find this part on the web, but to no avail. All usuable tips gladly received.
Forget about getting help here. They only blame on operator. The worst part on my XZ1 G8343 is no security updates from 2017

Your Sony is a premiere-launch edition. Send it to Sony or visit local Sony service for Bios/motherboard change. They update it with a simple software and return in 20 minutes mostly. No big deal. No sony fault here. Some locked devices from journalists just got back to the market, they were free TEST-only devices, that's why they're locked for Google updates.
Post it already on forum with "green hue on photos" subject. Nothing We can do with the sun hue. Some youtuber tested it and said it's the lens shape itself which mirrors the Uv filter shine on gorilla-glass protection from inside and that shine is captured again by lens itself.. Maybe the lens should be placed closer to the glass or the glass should be smaller like in Z4, Z5.

Hi all, I need help!
My Xperia XZ1 was in a bootloop. I reckon it is due to lack of storage. I tried to flash it wihtout these files: appslog_X.sin,diag_X.sin,Qnovo_X.sin,ssd_X.sin和userdata_X.sin. However, it was still in a bootloop. Would it be possible for me to just give up some of the data but with the photos remain? If yes, how to do it?
Million thanks.

What a weekend! With Kaitlin getting back on her feet and all the blazing roosters, it was a busy few days. Congratulations go to Roger and Lynne for winning their age groups, to Wrecking Ball and Nancy M. for taking second in theirs and Tracey for taking third in hers!!! The Blazing Soles not only did some impromptu volunteering at packet pick up (thanks Mary, Nana and Julie!), but we took our share of trips to the podium! And congrats to the rest of us Roosters (Slimey, Libby, Mary B., Julie, Gayle, Sharon, Rob, Christelle, Kathy, Edie, Nancy C., Jon and Lindsay) for completing one tough trail race! Thanks to Evil Jess, Carolyn and la Maman Champienne for cheering us in!
For the next several months, our running schedule will be molded by the BRR training plan. While the draft plan is under review, last week's chaos has meant that it's not quite ready. But we will stick to the recovery runs laid out for this week! So let's plan to run 3-4 miles on Tuesday and Thursday and 6 over the weekend.
|Week: Date
|1: 4-29
|Run 40 min
|30 min
|6 mile
On Tuesday, let's do our normal FF run, but move it up to 6pm. For Thursday, Let's do some Bolin Creek at 6 as well. How does that sound?
With the Philosopher's Way on Saturday (and so many of us womaning the water station with the Trail Goddesses), let's shift the 6 miler to Sunday. My suggesiton is to revisit Al Buehler for two loops followed by a trip to Guglhupf Cafte (http://www.guglhupf.com/cafe/) afterward!
Off-Topic: The 2012 Triangle VisionWalk is coming up on June 2. I hope to build on our success last year (winning the Team Spirit award!). Please consider walking with me as part of our team – Soles4Sight. You can sign up (or donate) at the Soles4Sight page (http://www.fightblindness.org/goto/soles4sight2012). Thank you!
Upcoming Runs:
Tuesday: 4 Miler campus run from FF @ 6
Wednesday: Soggy Sole Swim @ CC ~ 5
Thursday: 3-4 easy miles @ Community Center
Friday: Soggy Sole Swim @ CC ~ 5
Saturday: PWTR (more details from Susan soon)
6 miles @ Al B. then Guglhupf @ 8 am
Soggy Sole Swim @ HAC ~ 5:30
What did I forget?

Topics: Communication Want
Paper type: Essay Pages: 3 (708 words)
Today no area of life is untouched by English. Be it communication in daily life, ascending the career graph, communicating in mass media, higher education, and no end. Our international relations are dependent on it. Our perceptions of people are dependent on the use of this language. We have become so much dependent on this language that even in our daily communication we find it difficult to speak our Indian languages and Hindi without the use of English words.
So, the question naturally arises that what makes it so ubiquitous so omnipresent and so indispensable.
English people ruled a vast swath of land in order to fulfill their imperialistic ambitions. It was said that in English rule, sun never sets, because the colonies were present across the globe. English people incorporated words from every language to express the diversity which also gradually became the part and parcel of it, it made the language rich. Now in modern science and technology, we are mostly dependent on this language due to very versatility it offers and encompasses the various kinds of thought well.

But unfortunately we still see that in some parts English is treated as foreign language and some politicians and pseudo nationalists argue that we need to exterminate it and protect our culture and identity. These are the same people who will find it difficult to speak pure Hindi themselves. They do it with vested interests but it harms a large number of people, who remains lagging in their careers due to that. English has become utmost important now a days. Even we preach the concept of "Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam" and in this purview we see that English enjoys the familiarity of people from across the globe.
So due to this advantage, it is rightly needed that it should be learn t by all to communicate well. It is also needed that we must respect our language as well but we simply cannot do away with English.
Learning english is important for our daily life..
As we all know, English is the one of important language in this world. If we cannot speak English even a little bit, we are called as a very poor in this community. We also cannot improve our life if we worst in English. We will feel loser if we in the group that use English as a medium to speak. According to the research that have been made by the group of University Malay, 70% of undergraduate student especially Malay student are not use English as a medium to speak. It's show that most of the student do not want to use English as a main language in their life. People always said that we must use our country language so that it indicate we love our country. The statement is not fault but we also must learn English for our future life such as to find a job, to communicate with foreigner, easy to understand if we find information through online and easy for student to survive in university life because most of the university in Malaysia use English as a medium to speak.
One of the reason why we must learn English in our daily life is English is important to get a job. In this era, many people are jobless eventhough they have a degree. It is because they do not have a soft skill. Eventhough we got the best result in examination but we cannot speak in English, it is hard for us to find a job. Example is, if we want to work with a giant company such as Petronas, Sime Darby, Schlumberger and etc we need to face many process. One of the process is interview. Interview is one of the important process for us to face if we want to work with a giant company. Many giant company have a francais at the other country. So, they use international language that is English as a medium to communicate among the others. Therefore, they must do an interview in English to find an employee. If we have a soft skill like can speak fluently in English, the company will not hesitate to take us as one of their employee….

While many marketers have, over the last few years, advised entrepreneurs to focus on building their social media profile, keep in-mind that getting your name in the 'traditional media' (i.e. newspapers, radio, television and print journals) can still be a powerful marketing tool well-worth pursuing.
In fact, the core principles used for establishing and growing profile online are actually built upon on the methods used in infiltrating the traditional media. That's why in BusinessCast podcast #103 Robert and I sit down with Gerry Nicholls who is recognized as being one of the Nation's most media-savvy political pundits. But, Gerry is more than a 'thinker' — he's a doer with a rare history of building public profile for people, companies and causes. So, Gerry draws on his strong track record to share five ways that you can start to build and grow relationships with key media people.
Once you've listened to BusinessCast Podcast #103 you'll be much better equipped to build a plan of action for getting the media coverage you want and deserve.
Here are a few additional points to consider for your media-building plan:
Define your targets precisely — Among the various types of targets, you should include at least one of the following: number of "mentions" in specific media; number of "positive" mentions in specific media; number of times you're called by editors or journalists as a source of expertise; 'unassisted name recognition' as measured in your market research or 'improved positive name association' as measured in your market research.
Plan for 'bad publicity' — When you're taking efforts to build your public profile, keep in-mind that there will be occasions when the media will miss a critical point or misunderstand something. The resulting increased buzz may not be the buzz you want. So, play out worst-case scenarios and identify what you will do to correct any inaccuracies or misconceptions about your company. It is particularly important to use the right combination of online tools in order to keep bad press from spreading through search engines.
Establish a precise process — Let everyone in your organization know who will act as your company's spokesperson(s). Provide them with the training to deal effectively with the media and establish a straight-forward process for responding quickly to media inquiries.

Some Ups and Downs From Netroots Nation
Greetings again from Vegas! It's officially day 2 of Netroots Nation!!
If you haven't been following my twitter, you should be. It's the best way to track what's been happening here at the conference. In this post, though, I want to talk about some ups and downs of the conference. I have a few more grumbles than you might expect, so stick with me. Redeeming positives are further below.
I really think that, in general, Netroots Nation really needs to be better at modeling. There have been a number of things that have made this conference slightly frustrating in ways that I think could easily be improved.
For example, the wireless internet access has sucked. To use the internet in your hotel room is ridiculously expensive and the service is really not reliable at all. (It was quite arduous just getting this post up this morning.) The Netroots folks have set up a free wireless system in the convention area, but it has been rife with problems. It was down more often than not yesterday and even when it was up, it was not always consistent. There were a number of times I was sitting in a panel trying to follow my Tweetdeck and getting nothing while folks next to me had service.
This seems to me to be bad form. To many, the quality of the internet connection you have while in Las Vegas would be negligible, but we're here at a conference about using the internet! If I were part of the conference planning group, my first priority in selecting a venue would be confirming that they have quality, reliable internet and don't charge guests an arm and a leg for it. It's hard to be a good Netroots activist without the Net!
Surprisingly, that hasn't been the only technology fail. I've been in several panels already where the presenters were struggling with media in their presentations. In some cases it wasn't their fault, but I still think the result was that it undermined their presentation. If you are here at Netroots to show your eagerness to interact with the blogosphere, you should at least be competent at using your own computer. I don't mean to sound petty or whiny; I think there's a credibility issue here. If your words are saying "I want to engage with people through technology" and your actions say "I don't know how to engage with technology," the presentation kind of feels disingenuous.
And, by far, my biggest complaint is the level of engagement. Most of the sessions throughout the day are "panels." There are a few trainings and caucuses, but panels predominate. I went to four yesterday. The topics of those panels were great. I attended two that related to scientific literacy and education standards, one about marriage equality, and one about using social media. Sounds great, right? But the panels themselves betray the very values the Netroots presents for itself.
This thought occurred to me during the social media panel. The panelists were talking about the importance of reaching out to others in the blogosphere rather than expecting others to just come to us. As I tweeted from the panel: Treat online people like people and allies, not sheep. This expectation of community participation is at the core of Netroots activism; it keeps the playing field level by expecting everyone to participate actively.
The panels accomplish the opposite. They are groups of four or five who talk at us and then expect us to just ask them questions. It's not really conversational, and it just seems to go against the very culture we seem to be trying to promote. Granted, I'm also biased as an educator and a performer; my top priority is always to keep people engaged and participating. The folks on these panels are brilliant and can speak eloquently to their issues, and there are certainly times when a panel format is ideal. I just think it's odd that such a format is embraced as the primary format of engagement throughout the conference.
So, those are my primary complaints. They're not really big ones, but they definitely give me a context for how to think about the rest of the conference and how to get the most out of it.
I have to say, Twitter is a pretty amazing tool for connecting with others. It can be annoying as hell when the hashtag search is full of retweets, but it does wonders for shared experiences. I've actually met a lot of people here at the conference through our exchange of tweets. I think it's easy to think of Twitter as just a social tool, but it also is, itself, a great venue for delivering information. I won't be blogging as much about the content of some of these workshops because Twitter is taking care of a lot of it. A number of people have actually come up to me and told me how much they appreciate my tweets, which makes me feel like it's not all in vain!
It's also been amazing to meet my readers. Honestly, before I got to this conference, I wasn't sure many folks out there were really following this little ol' blog, and it warms my heart to know you appreciate what I'm doing here. I hope I don't sound as egotistical as that blowhard Ed Schultz (from MSNBC) who spoke last night. It's just been an incredible confidence booster to feel like I'm not just wasting my time.
I'm certainly doing my best to sell myself here (though not in that way—I know this is Vegas, but seriously!). I continue to meet incredible people at every turn; there's no doubt this weekend will have been a life-changing experience. I feel like a little kid at Disney World or something. I'm super excited to see others willing to promote my work! Pam Spaulding linked to my post from earlier this week; Joe Jervis has a picture of me on his site; and I even did a video interview with Minnesota-based The Uptake.
I really and truly feel like a part of this community, and I love it. I must continue to extend my thanks to all the amazing people who have made it possible for me to be here and who continue to be great mentors!! Exciting change can happen when we all work together toward our shared goals.
I have to get ready to get back into the fray! Go back to following my tweets for more updates throughout the day!
And in case you're wondering, I played one dollar on a slot machine. I now have one less dollar. Cheers from Vegas!

We are using the ReFereeT2 for testing during development of our DVB-T2 transmitter products. It is easy to use and is very powerful for debugging and monitoring. It is very useful for testing of multiple PLP configurations. The monitoring of PCR accuracy is also a nice feature.
|5 / 5
|ReFeree is nice "Swiss Army knife" test tool, analyses pretty much everything from RF through T2 signalling, TS parameters, PSI/SI tables and even demodulation for pictures. Being small and USB powered I find it really handy to travel with for field and site work and to make TS recordings for later office based analysis.

After getting familiar with the ReFeree T2, this device is absolutely necessary.

"ImaginLab includes a DVB-T2 experimentation broadcast network, in order to support a testing service offer in that environment. To monitor this trial network which in deployed in the area of Rennes (Brittany - France) and which is operated by Images & Réseaux cluster, ImaginLab was already equipped with Enensys tests & monitoring products (Referee and EdgeProbe) on transmitter sites. As we were fully satisfied by the features provided by Enensys products and the easy way to operate them (GUI and SNMP), we decided to enhance our experimentation facilities with a new referee device in order to grant our customers with a neutral and flexible test service with is available for in-lab and in-the field test campaigns. Referee product is not only used for measuring the signal but it also very convenient to map various software decoders (H262, HEVC, …) on DVB-T2 demodulated streams. Doing so, ImaginLab provides a up-to-date flexible and agile environment to its customers.

An Post's daily delivery at risk due to high cost
AN POST'S mandate to deliver to every household in the country is costing it a fortune and may not be sustainable, bosses have claimed.
Revealing its latest set of annual accounts, the post office network said its 'Universal Service Obligation' – which legally entitles every home and business to weekday post delivery – had once again caused a substantial loss in 2013.
It said it would continue with the service in the coming years – but that ultimately it may not be sustainable. Revenues from 'traditional mail' are continuing to fall even as the cost of providing the service stays the same.
"The amount of effort and cost required to deliver multiple letters to a particular address is virtually the same as delivering one letter," said An Post boss Donal Connell.
Revenue from traditional mail, like letters, was down 2pc on the year before – and has now fallen 30pc since peak levels in 2007. "The single largest challenge has been the continued decline in traditional mail," said Mr Connell.
But its 2013 results were still "better than budgeted", the company's accounts said. The group made an operating profit of €5.7m for the year, in comparison to a loss of €17.5m the year before.
This was aided by a massive surge in online shopping. Parcel volumes grew 22pc as Irish consumers increasingly eschewed the high street and purchased at home via laptops and tablets.
The first increase in stamp prices since 2007, introduced midway through last year, also provided a boost – delivering extra revenues of about €20m.
Prize bonds also performed well for the company during the year, one of the few retail activities to grow. Revenue from every other retail service An Post offers, like BillPay and social welfare transactions, fell.
Chief executive Donal Connell confirmed speculation that An Post will move to offer more traditional banking services, like current accounts.
"It is our view that An Post can facilitate the effective introduction of a basic bank account," he said.

How Cameron Naasz is training to make ice cross history
Tim Naasz has watched the replay of the final at Red Bull Crashed Ice Saint Paul more than 30 times. Although he knows the outcome even as the four racers fly down the icy track, he still suffers the same anxiety he endured while shuffling back and forth near the finish line on February 27.
"Every time I watch it, I'm just as nervous as I was then," he says.
On that night when the temperature dipped into the 30s, he made the 25-minute drive from his home in Lakeville, Minn., to watch his son, Cameron Naasz, vie for the Ice Cross Downhill World Championship. The elder Naasz was not alone. Besides the reported 100,000 spectators, about 30 friends and family members accompanied him. They hoisted signs with sayings bearing such messages as Cameron Naasz is #1. They all concentrated on the jumbotron and the giant digital clock that ticked down to zero.
Cameron Naasz, 26, stood at the third starting gate in front of the Cathedral of Saint Paul. To his left was Scott Croxall—last year's world champion. A repeat was in jeopardy. Naasz held first place in the standings before Saint Paul—the final event of the season—but Croxall was within striking distance. Both had advanced through five races to make the final. This race would decide the championship.
An official in a striped referee's outfit called out, "Riders ready! Five-second warning."
Naasz stared through his goggles and full-face helmet down at the gate. He focused on anticipating the randomized start. In a sport in which races last less than a minute and are often decided by milliseconds, a fast start is vital.
"I struggle when I get behind early and have to make up ground," Naasz says. "And if you're going to beat Scott, you need to get in front right away."
A Golden Ticket
Four years ago in Saint Paul, Naasz was not concerned about such calculations. He was not in the title race. He had never competed in Crashed Ice and knew little about Ice Cross Downhill—the extreme sport in which racers skate down a walled track filled with jumps, turns, and rollers. Back then, Naasz was a sophomore at St. Cloud State University majoring in Public Relations and working as a technology consultant at OfficeMax. But a few days before the event, Nick Simmons, Naasz's friend at St. Cloud State and a student brand ambassador for Red Bull, offered Naasz his prospect pass. It was an automatic entry into Crashed Ice.
"I think you'd be really good at this," Simmons told him.
Naasz calls the pass his "golden ticket." Although Naasz says he was skeptical about competing and had planned on just "going with friends and having a fun night," he finished 24th. It was best result by an American. The performance earned him a spot on the U.S. squad for the Crashed Ice World Championship series events in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada. He was on plane three weeks later.
Ayumu Hirano Q&A: Enjoying success in 2016, off-season grind, more
"Everything was first-class," Naasz told The New York Times in 2013. "Every city tried to outdo the last one with bigger parties, better dinners and cooler atmosphere."
While Naasz enjoyed the travel and experiencing new cultures, he also gained knowledge on the track. He had more of a head start than most. Growing up in Lakeville, Naasz was "always outside" according to his father. Naasz played youth hockey like most kids he knew, but his interest veered to sports that mixed adventure and competition. He raced BMX bikes. He entered progressive inline rollerblading contests. He snowboarded.
"Skating is just one piece of it," Tim Naasz says of the skills necessary to excel at Ice Cross Downhill. "I have seen over the past three or four years some professional hockey players try the track. They were terrible."
Cameron Naasz was the opposite. He quickly climbed the ranks. He placed second at Niagara Falls in December 2012. It was his fifth event. Despite Naasz's continued success over the past three years and his ability to increase America's presence in a sport previously dominated by racers from Canada, Finland, and Sweden, a world championship still eluded him.
The Grind
Last summer, Naasz added four to five CrossFit workouts a week to his regimen. Andrew Swanson, a coach at Tangletown Crossfit in Southwest Minneapolis and a Crashed Ice racer, helped develop the plan that focused on explosiveness movements and balance.
They trained together along with fellow racers Maxwell Dunne and Tommy Mertz. In their group text messages, they'd usually agree to meet at the gym by 9:15 am. But then someone would write 9:13, followed by 9:10 and on and on.
Whoever got to Tangletown CrossFit first often announced his arrival triumphantly via Snapchat.
"It has been a lot more grueling," Naasz says of his routine. "CrossFit works great because it's intense with small bursts like we have during a race. I used to always be tired at the end of races, so since the summer I tried to beat myself up as much as possible. That way I know I'm ready on race day."
Ayumu Hirano Q&A: Enjoying success in 2016, off-season grind, more
When Naasz and his training partners were not at the gym doing overhead squats on balance boards or rope swings while standing on yoga balls, they were racing at Pineview Park BMX track on inline skates. Naasz claims it's the best practice for Crashed Ice. "After one run your legs are shot," he says. It's also at Pineview that Swanson says Naasz's transcendent talent is most evident. One feature of the track is a series of 10 rolling jumps. Previously, everyone had raced over them one at a time. "Why can't you double them up?" Naasz asked one day in July. Swanson stared at him. He had never even considered that was an option.
On Naasz's first attempt, he doubled all the rollers. He made it look easy.
"To see Cameron ride things is magical," Swanson says. "The way he hits certain features makes you just wonder 'how did he do that?' "
Naasz's other competitors probably asked similar questions throughout this season. He won the first event in Quebec and then next one in Munich. The championship seemed like a foregone conclusion.
But at the third event in Finland, on the longest course in Crashed Ice history, Naasz placed fourth. Croxall won. Saint Paul remained.
King of the Ice
The gate drops and the four racers plunge down onto the course then navigate the first set of jumps. Naasz takes to the air, waving his arms in a rolling down the windows motion to maintain his balance. He's in the lead. Croxall is so close behind he could touch him. Naasz remains in front through the rollers, through the serpentine turns, through the double-up jumps. But as he approaches the final obstacle, a 90-degree turn and jump called the Volcano, he senses he's going too fast. He soars too high. He appears to lose control. It looks as if he might fly over the boards.
He doesn't. He lands clean. On the final straightaway he looks at the jumbotron and sees Croxall "right on my ass." But Naasz doesn't need the reminder. He can gauge how close a race is by the sound of the crowd. There's a roar. Naasz knows he's not yet in the clear. He digs in the final few strides and stretches out his left skate. He edges Croxall by 1.5 seconds.
The other racers converge on Naasz. They douse him with water, Red Bull, and beer. Croxall joins in. Naasz describes their relationship as a "friendly rivalry." Croxhall even stayed at Naasz's house the week before the championship.
"I feel amazing," Naasz bellows in his post-race interview with an American flag draped over his shoulders. "Let's go Minesooota!"

With one title under his belt, next season Naasz will try to become the sport's first back-to-back world champion. He still has one more class to finish at St. Cloud State—Comm. 420: Mass Media and Society—but that pales compared to the full-course load he balanced last year. Naasz knows where the extra time will go. The kid who got cut from his high school's varsity hockey team his senior year now understands what it's like to be recognized as the fastest man on ice. He has no plans of letting that feeling slip.
"My goals are to win everything and back-to back world championships," he says. "If you go into the season and think I want to be fourth or I want to be top eight, that is not a big enough goal."
But for now, those who know Naasz best relish looking back at what he's achieved. This past weekend, Tim Naasz watched all the action unfold again on the replay at the request of his mother-in-law. He didn't mind.
"It's just exciting to relive it all over again," the father says. "Watching Cameron win never gets old."

This week I've been doing extra reading and research on stress, tiredness, and fatigue.
Stress is a topic I can't ever learn too much about, as it affects pretty much everyone these days. It's practically normal to be 'busy', 'stressed', 'overwhelmed' or simply plain exhausted.
There is a lot to understand from a biological perspective, but in simple terms, it's what you do every day that adds up over time.
If you are tired most of the time, your body is sending you a biological message and you need to listen.
We all need proper time to rest and recover from the demands of daily life before we get tired.
a) Meditation, yoga or Tai Chi
b) Time in nature
c) Creative hobbies
Screen time has replaced other forms of relaxation, and there are numerous studies showing the dark side of mobile devices and social media.
There was an interesting programme on this topic on Panorama recently. Watch here.
If you find yourself turning to devices and gadgets to help you unwind, take some time to think of some other things you could do instead.
When can you make time for some proper downtime for yourself?
Most toiletries and cleaning products you buy on the high-street are toxic and contain hormone-disrupting chemicals which are absorbed directly into your internal organs through your skin.
Avoiding toxins can feel like a full-time job and I try not to be obsessive, but the two things I focus on most are:
a) plastic water bottles
b) skin-care
I recently bought all my family stainless steel water bottles and we take them everywhere. I refuse to buy drinks that are not in a glass bottle.
Our skin is the largest organ on the body. Organic skin-care should not just be for our faces, as the surface area of our body is considerably bigger.
I'm a consultant with Neal's Yard Organic as they are the only Soil Association certified skin-care company in the UK, and all their products are toxin-free as well as organic.
Next time you need to replace something, maybe consider their products instead.
Wheat, sugar and processed fats are the three top foods that cause issues with blood-sugar and inflammation.
Again, I don't obsess about nutrition, but here are three things I try to do.
a) Replace cereal, bread, and pasta with lentils, beans, nuts, and oats.
b) Eat more vegetables, especially organic and locally grown.
c) Be aware of hidden sugars, especially in dried fruit, juices, and alcohol.
Sugar and wheat offer us no nutrition at all. What they do is cause inflammation and blood-sugar spikes that can cause all kinds of chronic disease as well as contributing to tiredness and fatigue.
I stopped buying cereal six or seven years ago as it's highly processed, expensive and full of sugar. Instead, we make porridge with organic oats, and every few weeks I make a batch of home-made sugar-free granola.
If you can only make one change to your diet, eat more veg. The fresher it is, the more nutrients there are.
What could you do this week to increase the nutrition you get from your food?
A good sleep routine is essential if you want to feel less tired.
I love technology, but I value my mental, physical and emotional health more.
a) Ban gadgets from the bedroom.
b) Install Fl.ux on your devices.
c) Go to bed 7-8 hours before you need to get up.
A simple alarm clock will help you avoid over-sleeping, but when you have enough sleep you wake up naturally.
The best thing you can do when you are tired is to get more sleep, not try to get to the bottom of your to-do list. When you are rested you can think more clearly, make better decisions and be more effective generally.
When you are tired, chances are you won't make great food choices, and your relationships will suffer as well as your work.
What could you do to improve your sleep this week?
Each small change is totally worth doing.
Life is too short to be tired all the time.
I can help you:
• Have trouble-free periods
• Prepare for pregnancy
• Get a good night's sleep
• Have nice clear skin
When you want to get yourself sorted out you know you'll need regular treatment for a while.
With this in mind, it's important to make sure you choose the right person to work with and I know that's a big decision.
That's why I offer a free Discovery Call to anyone who is thinking about working with me.
It's easy to book your free call on my Book Now button.
Or, just call me on 07946545040 and if I can pick up, I will. Leave me a message and I'll return your call.
Tell me what's going on for you and ask me all the questions you like. I'll be honest and open about what you can expect from working with me. If I'm not sure that I can help, I'll say so.
If you're in a different time-zone or it just seems easier to email, I'm happy to chat that way too.
I look forward to hearing from you!

That Fitbit isn't just for the young, active and healthy anymore.
Aging baby boomers and seniors are emerging as an equally prosperous market for fitness wearables manufacturers and the wellness industry as older Americans take to health technology and devices as rapidly as young people, according to new analyses.
"This preconceived notion that all things technology scare older people isn't true," Dr. Kaveh Safavi , senior managing director of Accenture's health practice. "Whether it's use of an app or devices, they are willing to use them."
Meanwhile, practically the same percentage are willing to use wearables to "measure and track fitness and vital signs" like blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. About half, or 48%, of Americans over 65 are willing to use wearables and 47% of those under 65 are willing to wear them, Accenture said.
Such engagement is a key reason why more companies are moving into this space and existing manufacturers are ramping up new technology to engage older Americans into wellness and staying fit.
"Pretty much every manufacturer of sports and fitness monitoring have an activity tracker--Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, Polar, Misfit and so on," Roeen Roashan, senior analyst of digital health at IHS, said in an interview.
Inside Obamacare: The Fix For America's Ailing Health Care System explores the ways the Affordable Care Act will impact your health care.
Companies see a market where 10,000 Americans are celebrating their 65th birthday every day through 2030, according to Pew Research Center.
Already, IHS estimates the world market for wearable technology in the fitness and wellness space to nearly double to $11.2 billion in revenues by 2020 from a projected $5.6 billion this year. The current cumulative annual growth rate for fitness and wellness wearable technology is about 32%, IHS data shows.
"I think it makes sense that the older demographics show interest," Roashan said. "For one, they're much more engaged in their health due to general focus around chronic diseases, and they're in that risk group. Secondly, we know that older demographics have adopted mobile technology at a rate which we had not expected, and most of these activity trackers use the smartphone or tablet as a hub device."
