Keynote Presentations
Monday, June 15, 8 a.m.: How do we motivate ourselves and others to perform at a higher level? In his provocative and entertaining presentation, Daniel Pink, best-selling author of A Whole New Mind, will answer those questions by exploring the surprising science of human motivation. Drawing on startling studies and real-life examples, he'll show that much of what we do in organizations actually crushes creativity. He'll reveal three elements at the heart of genuine, sustainable motivation. And, he'll explain how to create a culture that allows creatives to do their best work. Book signing follows in the Official NeoCon Bookstore. Presented by the Intl. Interior Design Association (IIDA), and sponsored by Allsteel.
Tuesday, June 16, 8 a.m.: Since she stepped back from practicing architecture to focus on writing about design, teaching, and curating, Italian-native Paola Antonelli has become a force to be reckoned with in the design world. Working at The Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1994, Antonelli is now a senior curator in the Architecture and Design department, and has worked on shows such as "Humble Masterpieces," which celebrated traditionally unheralded design icons, such as the paperclip; "Safe," considering issues of protection; "Workspheres," which looks at contemporary workplace design; and "Design and the Elastic Mind," a survey of the fertile relationship between design and science. Join Antonelli as she focuses on how designers stand between revolutions and everyday life; on how they have the ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society; and to convert them into objects and ideas that people can understand and use. Presented by ASID, and sponsored by Paoli.
Wednesday, June 17, 8 a.m.:In this lecture, Shawn Sullivan, a principal architect at Rockwell Group, will discuss the incredible power and importance of light in design. Lighting has the power to transform space, define colors and textures, reveal shapes, create narrative, and assert theatricality, among many other essential characteristics. Light has always been a central focus of Rockwell Group's designs, which often draw inspiration from the intersection of theater and architecture. Sullivan will discuss the spectacle and theatricality of light not only in terms of Rockwell Group's own work, but also in the context of other sources of inspiration. Whether using light to create movement, for subtle detailing, or for bold reinforcement of the architectural concept, lighting is everything. Presented by Light!, and sponsored by Tambient.

Mall Santas taught to 'size up' parents to temper kids' gift hopes
Quick: name a few people that best have their finger on the world's economic pulse.
Ben Bernanke? Sure. Christine Lagarde? Absolutely. Mark Carney? In Canada and beyond, no doubt.
Yet for all these figureheads, with their inroads on fiscal policy and access to the top economic advisors, would you trust them to take a look at you, up and down, and say how much money you're worth?
Of course not. That would be offensive. You'd leave that to Santa Claus.
Indeed, while you might want to slug anyone making judgements about your pocket book based exclusively on your dress, that's just what many aspiring Kris Kringles are being taught to do at the largest Santa school in the U.S.
Yes, America is home to a Santa school – more than one, actually – and enrolees at Michigan's Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School are being coached to adapt to tough times.
*Bing: How much does is Santa school tuition?
According to the Daily Mail, Santas working malls around the U.S. are now being groomed to take a look at kids' parents, "size them up" and temper any gift expectations children may request.
One Santa graduate says he's come up with his own stock lines to give children of parents who don't appear they can afford an iPod, suggesting that an errant elf in the North Pole is to blame for kids not being able to have everything they want this Christmas.
"It's hard to watch sometimes because the children are like little barometers, mirrors on what the country has been through," the Santa says. "In the end, Santas have to be sure to never promise anything."
In addition, Santas are told now how to deal with other tough questions like, "Can you bring my daddy a job?"
How does Santa side-step that one?
One Kringle admitted he tells kids that "Santa specializes in toys, but we can always pray on the other," and that "Santa's been cutting back too" when a gift is asked for that a child's parents don't appear to be able to afford.

Introduction: During the last decade, the health sector of many countries in general has been faced significantly with the increase of health care costs and in particular with the growth in hospital costs, that a significant part of it is due to the inefficient use of resources. The present study has been calculated the technical efficiency of the Specialty Ophthalmology Hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences by the comprehensive data analysis methods and stochastic frontier analysis. Methods: In this article, the technical efficiency of the Specialty Ophthalmology Hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences has been calculated by the years of 2009 to 2011, by the comprehensive data analysis methods and stochastic frontier analysis. For this purpose, the form of input-oriented data envelopment analysis approach was used by assuming the variable Productivity to scale and stochastic frontier analysis method and from the five output, the occupied bed days, outpatient admissions, inpatient admissions, inpatient days and bed occupancy factor, and from the six output, it means active beds, number of doctors, nurses, and other personnel, budget and equipment costs were used for the study. For data analyzing, Deap software, edit 1/2 and Frontier edit 1/4, was used. Result: The results of a comprehensive data analysis method showed: 1) The capacity of improving technical efficiency in the studied sector is 34% (average technical efficiency is 0.663 parts); and 2) some of the sectors are met the excess inputs (factors of production). Technical efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis was equal to 0.937. In fact, the stochastic frontier analysis showed the inefficiency is less than the actual value. Conclusion: Reducing excess capacity factors (factors of production) should be conducted in the form of a comprehensive plan and by considering all regarded aspects, that this reduction plays a major role in the hospital and health sector costs reduction.

Republican Congressman Jim Saxton, the ranking member of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), recently issued a report outlining the policy blunders that have led to the "inflated and unsustainable housing bubble" and the ensuing crash and financial crisis. What follows is an outline of that report and what voters need to consider before casting a vote in November.
There has been a literal flood of terrific commentary and analysis on this topic, and we've been linking many examples in our Recent Headlines section. The Cato Institute's Neal McCluskey recently summed it up nicely in a piece titled, "If Anyone Blames the Market, I Swear I'll…":
Right now, it's very popular with politicians to blame the free market for our mortgage-driven economic woes. It's also, as with most things popular among politicians, utter nonsense: Fannie and Freddie are Dr. Washington's monsters, and DC has practically forced lenders to float loans to high-risk borrowers…
Federal politicians, with their constant bribery of voters and special interests, have made our colossal financial messes, and they haven't got a leg to stand on acting like they are the solution and freedom is the problem.
What follows is the Joint Economic Committee's opening followed a list of several of the policy mistakes. Note the statement explaining out private sector mistakes contributed but "could not have created and sustained such a large housing bubble over so long a time without" government policy screwing things up.
Macroeconomic and microeconomic policy blunders by both the U.S. government and foreign governments inflated an unsustainable housing bubble in the United States and other developed economies. When this bubble inevitably popped, a global financial crisis ensued.
Although misaligned private incentives, methodological errors in rating structured credit products, and the recklessness of some private financial institutions and investors did play a contributory role in the recent financial turmoil, individuals and firms could not have created and sustained such a large housing bubble over so long a time without major macroeconomic and microeconomic policy mistakes.
Among these government policy mistakes, according to the JEC, were these:
- The Federal Reserve pursued, at least in retrospect, an overly accommodative monetary policy after 2000 that kept U.S. interest rates too low for too long.
- That policy helped "produce extremely low long-term interest rates that stimulated housing demand.
- Financial regulators in the United States and other developed economies failed to exercise adequate prudential supervision over highly leveraged non-depository financial institutions in the alternative financial system.
- Regulations mandating the use of value-at-risk models to determine the capital adequacy of financial institutions (1) caused both these institutions and their regulators to underestimate risk exposure, and (2) encouraged these institutions to increase their leverage.
- Regulations mandating the use of 'fair value' accounting (also known as 'mark-to-market' accounting) for illiquid financial assets exacerbated liquidity problems at financial institutions after the housing bubble burst.
- The strengthening of affordable housing regulations governing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in October 2000 had the unintended consequence of creating a large regulatory induced demand for subprime residential mortgage loans that mortgage banks proceeded to satisfy.

Greatest Streaming Gadget In 2021
Breville Smart Oven Air
There had been MP3 players earlier than the iPod, positive, however it was Apple's blockbuster gadget that convinced music fans to improve from their CD gamers en masse. It was a whole generation's introduction to Apple's simple-to-use products and slick advertising. These folks would go on to purchase MacBooks, iPhones and iPads in droves, helping to make Apple probably the most useful technology firm on the earth. The Regency's pocket radio was the primary client gadget powered by transistors, ushering in an age of high-tech miniaturization. A publish-WWII innovation developed by Texas Instruments and Industrial Development Engineering Associates , the $49.ninety five, three-by-5-inch, battery-powered portable was built on expertise developed by Bell Labs. And as revolutionary as all this tech was, it only scratches the surface of how the Regency — by ushering in actually moveable communications — modified the world overnight. Apple was the primary company to place a really powerful pc within the pockets of hundreds of thousands when it launched the iPhone in 2007.
Smartphones had technically existed for years, however none came collectively as accessibly and fantastically as the iPhone. Apple's gadget ushered in a new era of flat, touchscreen phones with buttons that appeared on screen as you wanted them, replacing the chunkier phones with slide-out keyboards and static buttons. What actually made the iPhone so outstanding, however, was its software and cellular app store, introduced later. The iPhone popularized the cell app, forever changing how we communicate, play games, shop, … Read More

Alcatel taps Harris to help deliver video to mobile devices in Europe
Story Highlights
Harris has been awarded a contract by Alcatel Alenia Space to supply a 12-meter, commercial satellite antenna for the first European satellite infrastructure designed for broadcasting video, radio and data to mobile devices and vehicle receivers in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK.
The Harris S-band unfurlable reflector antenna will be deployed on Eutelsat's W2A commercial satellite, which is expected to be in orbit by early 2009. The S-band system on W2A will be commercialized by Eutelsat and SES Global within the framework of a joint venture company which the two companies will establish following approval from relevant regulatory agencies.
The Harris S-band unfurlable reflector antenna will be deployed on Eutelsat's W2A commercial satellite, which is expected to be in orbit by early 2009.
"We are very pleased to be selected by Alcatel Alenia Space for this program, which will help pioneer the delivery of multimedia content to mobile users in Europe as well as support security and crisis management communications services," said Steve Marschilok, vice president and general manager of International Systems for Harris Corporation. "This sale represents our commitment to growing our integrated systems business and is a clear indicator of the potential international market for our broad portfolio of products and systems."
Harris reflector antennas are key components in satellite communications payloads and take maximum advantage of the company's space-proven materials and manufacturing techniques. Each Harris reflector features a lightweight, gold mesh reflective surface. The reflectors stow much like an umbrella for launch into space. When the satellites achieve operational orbit, ground controllers send a command signal to the satellite to unfurl the reflector. The reflectors are manufactured at Harris facilities in Palm Bay, Florida.
Based on the Alcatel Alenia Space Spacebus 4000C4 platform, the W2A satellite is designed for a lifetime of more than 15 years and will deliver 11 kilowatts of payload power.
Alcatel Alenia Space, the European leader in satellite systems, brings together the vast experience and know-how of Alcatel Space and Alenia Spazio to form a new leading force in European space technology. Formed in July 2005, Alcatel Alenia Space represents a worldwide standard for space development, from navigation to telecommunications, meteorology to environmental monitoring, and from defense to science and observation. Alcatel Alenia Space has 11 locations in four European countries and more than 7,000 employees worldwide.

Flood, Margaret (2019) Exploring the Impact of a Collaborative Whole-School Model of Continuous Professional Development on the Enactment of Level 2 Learning Programmes in a Mainstream Post-Primary School. PhD thesis, Dublin City University.
Download (8MB)
| Preview
The Level 2 Learning Programmes (L2LPs) aim to provide a broad, balanced, relevant, and meaningful education for junior cycle students with General Learning Disabilities (GLD) in the low-mild to high-moderate range of ability. In mainstream post-primary schools, it is envisioned that the majority of L2LPs' learning outcomes can be included in mainstream subject lessons thus promoting the inclusion of students with GLD. For the effective enactment of L2LPs in mainstream classrooms teachers require continuous professional development (CPD). Research indicates that the current system of transmissive CPD in Ireland, particularly the cascading model used for L2LPs has little effect on enactment of policy initaives, inclusive or otherwise. This study was concerned with exploring the impact of a collaborative whole-school CPD programme for the enactment of L2LPs in a mainstream post-primary school. Considerations for the CPD model included: contextual factors, relevance to job performance and student outcomes, active participation, meaningful collaboration, continuity and building capacity. The research took a predominantly case-study approach beginning with an illuminative evaluation of the school's prior engagement with L2LPs to establish a baseline from which to develop the CPD programme. The research focused on teacher CPD; however, an important aspect was the voice of students, parents and Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) when determining the effectiveness of the CPD. The methods of data collection included pre and post-intervention attitudinal scales, interviews, participant observations and document analysis. The findings evidence improved teacher engagement with L2LPs resulting in enhanced student outcomes. The CPD had a positive impact on teachers' knowledge, practice and beliefs, and inclusive education practices in general. There was evidence of increased collaboration and the development of a whole-school approach to L2LPs. Furthermore, there was evidence of improved student-teacher relationships as the CPD progressed. This research can be used to inform structures to support L2LPs enactment at school and national level. Recommendations are made for CPD design, L2LPs messaging and the inclusion of students, parents and SNAs in the L2LPs planning and review process.

Tell the community about yourself, Devin!
I fell in love with parkour and extreme activities like it at a young age. I would climb up and then jump off my garage roof just so I could feel like an action hero.
It scared my mom but it gave me something to do when I was bored. I would set up wooden ramps for my bike and jump them, doing that for hours at a time.
I wanted something more out of my young athleticism so I started going to an American Kenpo Karate class when I was still in Junior High and eventually joined a parkour gym led by Dylan McCaughin. I love the movement of parkour and am always pushing myself to move faster and fly higher.
After learning a lot about what I was capable of, I started looking for stunt teams in the area I could train and grow with. It did not take long until I found Stunt Predators USA. I reached out to Mr. Fike to request an invitation, and he graciously invited me to one of his training sessions in August of 2020. I have been looking forward to each one after that!
What inspired you to become a stunt person?
I had always wanted to get into the film industry, whether it was acting or being the cinematographer; however, I always loved the thrill of action.
It wasn't until I watched 2016's Jason Bourne that I finally fell in love with the idea of being a stunt man and doing the driving and the fighting for the big shot actors. I loved the choreography of the movie and everything that went into making it. I realized I wanted to be a part of that and that is what started me down the path I am on now!
What is your greatest skill as a stunt performer, is there a story behind it?
I would probably say my greatest skill is my ability to learn quickly and work hard. I think that most (if not all) stunt performers would agree that working hard is a necessity in the industry.
Understanding my limits and pushing the boundaries of what I can or can't do is a skill I am continuing to refine.
What is the best part about being a stunt performer?
I would say the best part of being a stunt performer is being part of a community that works more like a family than anything else!
I am so thankful for Mr. Fike allowing me to be part of the Stunt Predators team and giving me an opportunity to be a part of this amazing community.
What advice would you give other stunt people?
Don't give up on something just because it seems hard to attain . I am still learning new things every day I would have never thought possible when I was younger.
Keep pushing forward and listen to those who have gone before you. They know more than you, so don't let your age or your pride get in the way of learning about something new!
Anything else you would like to tell the community about?
I would just like to thank Mr. Fike for allowing me to be a part of Stunt Predators USA and I look forward to each and every training workshop.
I would also like to thank Hunter for getting this amazing site up and running and I look forward to what the future has in store for Stunt Hustle!

What Bird Lays Green Eggs? A Look At Nature'S Easter Eggs
Open up a bird's nest and you might find a colorful surprise inside – green eggs! But which species of birds lay green eggs, and why do they have this unusual ovi shell shade? In this article, we'll crack open the science behind green eggs and highlight some special birds that lay these natural Easter eggs.
If you're short on time, here's the quick answer: The most common birds that lay green eggs are various species of parrots, parakeets, and other exotic pet birds.
What Causes Green Eggs?
Have you ever wondered what causes some birds to lay green eggs? It turns out that there are a few different factors that contribute to the unique coloration of these eggs.
Biliverdin Pigment
One of the main reasons why some birds lay green eggs is the presence of a pigment called biliverdin. Biliverdin is a green pigment that is derived from the breakdown of red blood cells. It is then deposited in the eggshell, giving it its distinct green color.
This pigment can be found in a variety of bird species, including emus, some ducks, and the iconic American robin.
The presence of biliverdin in the eggshell serves a purpose beyond just adding color. It is believed that this pigment acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting the developing embryo from harmful UV rays.
So, not only do these green eggs look beautiful, but they also provide an extra layer of protection for the growing bird inside.
Camouflage and Mimicry
In addition to the biliverdin pigment, the green coloration of some bird eggs also serves a functional purpose in terms of camouflage and mimicry. For birds that nest in foliage or on the ground, green eggs can blend in with their surroundings, making them less likely to be spotted by predators.
For example, the common murre, a seabird that nests on rocky cliffs, lays green eggs that resemble the color of the surrounding vegetation. This makes it harder for predators such as gulls and crows to spot the eggs among the rocks, increasing the chances of successful reproduction for the murre.
Similarly, some cuckoo species lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species. The green coloration of these eggs helps them mimic the appearance of the host bird's eggs, increasing the likelihood that they will go unnoticed and be accepted by the unsuspecting host as its own.
So, the green color of some bird eggs is not just for show. It serves important functions in terms of protection and survival. Nature's Easter eggs are truly fascinating!
Parrots with Green Eggs
When it comes to birds that lay green eggs, parrots are some of the most notable species. These colorful and intelligent birds are known for their vibrant plumage and unique behaviors. Among the different types of parrots, there are three species that are particularly known for laying green eggs: budgies, lovebirds, and parrotlets.
Budgies, also known as parakeets, are small parrots that are native to Australia. They are one of the most popular pet bird species in the world due to their friendly nature and ability to mimic human speech. Budgies are also known for their ability to lay green eggs.
The color of their eggs can vary from pale green to a deeper shade, depending on the individual bird. It is truly a sight to see a budgie sitting on a clutch of its own green eggs, resembling nature's Easter eggs.
Lovebirds, as their name suggests, are known for their strong pair bonds and affectionate behavior towards their mates. These small parrots are native to Africa and are popular pets due to their vibrant colors and playful nature.
Lovebirds also lay green eggs, adding a touch of uniqueness to their breeding habits. The green color of their eggs is a result of the pigments present in the bird's diet.
Parrotlets are the smallest members of the parrot family and are native to Central and South America. Despite their small size, parrotlets have a big personality and are known for their fearless nature. These energetic birds also lay green eggs, which is quite surprising given their diminutive size.
The green color of their eggs adds a delightful touch to their breeding process.
It is worth mentioning that not all parrots lay green eggs. Each species has its own unique egg color, and green is just one of the many possibilities. Some parrots lay white eggs, while others may lay blue, yellow, or even pinkish eggs.
The color of a parrot's egg is determined by various factors including genetics and diet.
If you are interested in learning more about parrots and their fascinating behaviors, there are several reputable websites where you can find valuable information. For comprehensive details on different parrot species and their breeding habits, you can visit https://www.worldbirdnames.org/.
Another great resource is https://www.parrots.org/, which offers a wealth of knowledge on parrot conservation and care.
Parakeets with Green Eggs
Bourke's Parakeets
When it comes to parakeets that lay green eggs, one species that stands out is the Bourke's Parakeet. These delightful birds are native to Australia and are known for their beautiful pastel colors and gentle nature.
Bourke's Parakeets are small birds, typically measuring around 7 to 8 inches in length. They have a unique ability to lay eggs that range in color from pale blue to green. This vibrant color adds a touch of excitement to their nesting habits, making them a fascinating species to observe.
One interesting fact about Bourke's Parakeets is that the color of their eggs can vary depending on their diet. The green pigment in their eggs comes from the chlorophyll found in the plants they consume. The more chlorophyll-rich their diet, the greener their eggs will be.
This natural process showcases how diet can directly impact the appearance of the eggs laid by these parakeets.
If you're lucky enough to witness a Bourke's Parakeet nesting, you'll be treated to a unique experience. These birds are known for their meticulous nest-building skills and their dedication to their eggs.
The female Bourke's Parakeet will lay a clutch of eggs, typically ranging from 3 to 6, and both parents will take turns incubating them. This shared responsibility ensures the eggs are kept warm and safe, increasing the chances of successful hatching.
Princess Parakeets
Another species of parakeet that lays green eggs is the Princess Parakeet. Native to Mexico and Central America, these charming birds are known for their vibrant plumage and playful personalities. While Princess Parakeets are primarily kept as pets, they also breed in captivity, giving bird enthusiasts the chance to witness their unique egg-laying behavior.
Princess Parakeets are known for their deep green eggs, which can sometimes be mistaken for blue due to their intense pigmentation. The color of their eggs adds an extra element of intrigue to their breeding habits.
Like Bourke's Parakeets, the green color of their eggs is influenced by their diet, with a higher intake of chlorophyll resulting in darker green eggs.
When it comes to nesting, Princess Parakeets are quite resourceful. They will often seek out existing tree cavities or use nest boxes provided by their caretakers. Once the female has laid her eggs, both parents will take turns incubating them.
The incubation period typically lasts around 21 to 24 days, after which the eggs will hatch and the parents will continue to care for their offspring.
If you're interested in learning more about Bourke's Parakeets and Princess Parakeets, be sure to check out reputable bird-related websites such as All About Birds and Parrot Fun Zone. These websites offer a wealth of information about various bird species, including their nesting habits and egg-laying behavior.
Other Birds That Lay Green Eggs
While most people associate canaries with their vibrant yellow plumage, there are actually some canary breeds that lay green eggs. These canaries, known as "green egg layers," have a genetic mutation that causes their eggs to have a unique green color.
The green eggs add an interesting twist to the already captivating beauty of these birds. Canaries are popular pets due to their melodious songs and cheerful disposition, and the green eggs they produce are just another fascinating aspect of these delightful birds.
Finches, which belong to the family Fringillidae, are renowned for their diverse range of colors and patterns. While most finches lay eggs that are white or pale blue in color, there are some species that lay green eggs. One example is the Gouldian Finch, a small bird native to Australia.
The female Gouldian Finch lays eggs that are a stunning shade of green, providing a beautifully vibrant contrast against the nest. These green eggs are truly nature's own works of art.
Toucans are known for their striking appearance, with their large colorful beaks and vibrant plumage. These tropical birds are native to Central and South America and are often associated with their iconic fruit-filled diet. However, toucans also produce eggs that are green in color.
The green eggs of toucans are relatively large compared to the size of the bird, and they provide a visually striking sight when laid in the nest. These green eggs are a testament to the diversity and wonder of nature.
While these are just a few examples of birds that lay green eggs, there are many other species that exhibit this fascinating trait. It is truly remarkable to see how nature can create such a wide variety of colors and patterns in the eggs of different bird species.
Whether it's canaries, finches, toucans, or any other bird that lays green eggs, these unique and vibrant eggs add a touch of enchantment to our world.
Green Eggs in Culture and Cuisine
Green eggs, although not as common as their white or brown counterparts, have a unique and intriguing appeal. They have captured the imagination of people across different cultures and have found their way into various aspects of our lives, including both culture and cuisine.
Symbol of Spring
Green eggs are often associated with the arrival of spring, as they resemble the vibrant colors that emerge during this season. Just like the blossoming flowers and lush greenery, green eggs symbolize new beginnings and growth.
In many cultures, they are seen as a sign of fertility and the renewal of life.
One popular example of green eggs as a symbol of spring is in the celebration of Easter. Eggs, especially those dyed in various colors, are an integral part of Easter traditions in many countries. Green eggs, with their unique hue, are often used to represent the resurrection and the promise of new life.
Use in Cooking
Green eggs may not be as commonly found as white or brown eggs, but they can be used in a variety of culinary creations. One popular dish that features green eggs is the famous "Green Eggs and Ham" from Dr. Seuss' beloved children's book.
This whimsical combination of scrambled eggs and ham, tinted green with the addition of spinach, has become a favorite among kids and adults alike.
Beyond the world of children's literature, green eggs can also be used in more sophisticated and adventurous recipes. They can be incorporated into omelettes, frittatas, or even used as a colorful addition to salads.
The unique green color adds visual appeal to dishes and can make them stand out on the plate.
It's important to note that not all green eggs are naturally occurring. Sometimes, the color is achieved through the addition of natural food coloring or by feeding the hens with a diet rich in green pigments, such as alfalfa or certain types of grass.
This ensures that the eggs retain their nutritional value while also adding a touch of color to the culinary experience.
Among nature's rainbow, green eggs occupy a special place, bringing an unexpected pop of color to birds' nests. Though we often associate green eggs with fiction, several real species lay these emerald ovals naturally.
Next time you spy a verdant egg, you might be in the presence of an extraordinary parrot, parakeet or other exotic bird.

Cam Newton has reportedly changed his tune a little bit when it comes to taking a backup quarterback job, this according to Ian Rapoport.
The former Panthers quarterback and NFL MVP, who initially said he only wanted a starting job and would wait until one opened up, is now open to a backup job "in the right situation."
It remains to be seen what the right situation looks like, but the lack of starting jobs at the moment have really limited his options. He can wait until a starter goes down or take a backup role with a team like the Jaguars maybe?

What compiler version/OS?

OS: FreeBSD 9.1
GCC: gcc49
RE: Wt with boost-1.54 compile error - Added by Wim Dumon over 10 years ago
If this is the complete error message, this looks more like an issue in boost or gcc 4.9 than Wt, but I can't tell for sure. Do you get the same errors with gcc 4.8?
From a quick look, gcc 4.9 doesn't seem to be a platform on which boost was tested?
RE: Wt with boost-1.54 compile error - Added by Olexandr Anyshchenko over 10 years ago
I downgraded boost to 1.53 and compiled with gcc 4.7.4. Everything is OK.

Public Facts on The 2020–Present Global Chip Shortage
It is an ongoing global crisis in which the demand for integrated circuits (commonly known as semiconductor chips) exceeds the supply, affecting more than 169 industries. The crisis has led to major price increases, shortages queues and scalping among consumers for automobiles, graphics cards, video game consoles, computers, and other products that require semiconductors.
Causes of the Global Chip Shortage
The global chip crisis is due to a combination of different events with the snowball effect of the COVID-19 pandemic being the primary reason for accelerating shortages. Strong demand for electronics, shifting business models in the semiconductor world that created a bottleneck among outsourced chip factories, and effects from the U.S. trade war with China, all these contributed to the Global Chip Shortage. Another contributing factor is that demand is so great that existing production capacity can't keep up and the 2021 drought in Taiwan.
Watch the below CNBC Story to know more.
A chip shortage that started as consumers stocked up on personal computers and other electronics during the COVID-19 pandemic now threatens to snarl car production around the world. They join a long list of major automakers, including Ford, Honda and Fiat Chrysler, which have warned investors or slowed vehicle production because of the chip shortage.
But it's not just the automotive industry that's struggling to get enough semiconductors to build their products. AMD and Qualcomm, which sell chips to most of the top electronics firms, have noted the shortage in recent weeks. Sony blamed the chip shortage for why it's so hard to get a PlayStation 5 game console.
CNBC Story
Despite the vast sums being invested, the semiconductor industry is still struggling to produce enough chips. Based on the CNBC Report, The world's largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, has committed to investing $100 billion over three years to ramp up production. Rival Intel announced last March that it plans to spend $20 billion on two new chip plants in Arizona. In 2021, semiconductor companies worldwide spent $146 billion building new production capacity and on research, according to research firm Gartner. TSMC, Samsung and Intel — three of the world's biggest chipmakers — accounted for 60% of the $146 billion.
Intel's 20 Billion Dollar Investment to address Chip Shortage
We just can't make enough chips to fulfil society's gluttony for anything powered by semiconductors.Chips are used in everything from kettles and washing machines to headphones and fighter jet missile systems. Many products, such as cars, contain dozens of chips.
Some have speculated that there will be a "chip glut" once all the new fabs are churning out more chips, but O'Donnell disagrees.The human race is addicted to technology," he said. Demand will continue to increase, not wane. In fact, I am skeptical that all this investment is actually enough
Glenn O'Donnell, Research director, Forrester, to CNBC
TSMC has come up with a 100 Billion Dollar Plan as the Industry grapples with the Chip Shortage
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company may not be a household name, but with a market value of over $550 billion, it's one of the world's 10 most valuable companies.TSMC makes 24% of all the world's chips, and 92% of the most advanced ones found in today's iPhones, fighter jets and supercomputers. As the world grapples with an ongoing chip shortage, TSMC has committed to investing $100 billion over three years to ramp up production.
TSMC is building America's first 5-nanometer fabrication plant, hoping to reverse a decades-long trend of the U.S. losing chip manufacturing to Asia. It is building a $12 billion factory in Phoenix, Arizona, and another in Japan to increase capacity. It has several other fabrication plants — also known as fabs — in development. The Fab, Arizona will start production in 2024. The company says it will produce 20,000 wafers each month.
These are parts that are going to be used in lots of different places: CPUs, GPUs, IPUs, etc. They'll be used in smartphones. We're low-key. We let our products speak for themselves. Their success brings all the business that we could ever hope for.
Rick Cassidy, TSMC Chief Strategy Officer, CEO of TSMC's project in Arizona.
Samsung's Investment in Chip Manufacturing to address the Chip Crisis
When it comes to the most advanced chips used in the latest iPhones, supercomputers and automotive AI, TSMC is responsible for 92% of production while Samsung is responsible for the other 8%, according to research group Capital Economics.
It's become almost a monopoly at the leading edge, and all of those manufacturing operations, for the most part, are out of Taiwan, Hsinchu. That becomes a matter of national importance for the United States, but not only the United States, but the Western world

The German federal government wants the European Union to require smartphone makers to promise at least seven years of security updates for their devices. As per Heise Online, Germany has also requested the European Union to make it mandatory for manufacturers to publish prices of spare parts and maintain the same prices for seven years.
As you would expect, smartphone makers aren't too happy with the proposed legislation. DigitalEurope, which is an industry association with Samsung, Apple, and Huawei as its members, wants regulators to make three years of security updates the norm for everyone.
Currently, most Android phones and tablets receive security updates for three years or less. The only Android devices that are guaranteed to receive four years of security updates are the best Android phones from Samsung and OnePlus. Google's upcoming Pixel 6 series phones, however, are rumored to get up to five years of Android updates.
While it remains to be seen if the European Union will accept Germany's request, the EU Commission is expected to enact its policy requiring phones to receive at least five years of security updates by 2023. Aside from requiring manufacturers to keep their devices secure, the rules also require them to make spare easily available to consumers and start using replaceable batteries.
It isn't just Europe that is pushing for Right to Repair laws. Earlier this year, President Biden signed an executive order asking the FTC to come up with new rules to make it easier for consumers to repair devices such as phones and PCs.

Technically not true. Every kind of switching regulator can work with 90+ efficiences. I personally built lot of buck´s and boost´s for our headlamps with variety of input/output voltages. Reasons why most manufacturers use linears in single cell flashlights are simplicity and prize.A three cell flashlight can use a 92 percent efficient switching buck driver, while a single cell light can only use a 70 percent efficient linear driver.

Househunters looking for somewhere a bit different to live need look no further than a quirky little property in Leicester dubbed "the UK's smallest detached house".
The diminutive but cosy-looking Rose Cottage is tucked away in a side street in one of the city's leafiest neighbourhoods.
The two-bedroom detached home - in Goldhill Road, Knighton - is just 13ft wide and 26ft tall, covering a total of only 338 square feet over its two floors.

The characterful cottage, however, is on the market for a whopping £275,000, writes BirminghamLive.
Housing facts and figures
According to October 2018 data, there are some 6,000 households on the city council's housing register.
The main reason for people joining the housing register is overcrowding.
Once an applicant has been added to the housing register and allocated a band.
Band 1 is the highest priority, people who are in urgent need. Band 2 is mainly made up of people living in overcrowded accommodation and band 3, people with the lowest need.
Bands 1 and 2 make up 90 per cent of lettings and the highest demand is for two bed homes.
Homes that are available are advertised every week on www.leicesterhomechoice.co.uk and in the weekly vacancy list, that is available to download from the city council's website. It is also available on request at the council's neighbourhood housing offices, customer service centres, libraries and community centres.
Applicants can apply for up to three properties per week that would meet the housing needs relating to their application. The three chosen properties are in no particular preference order.
The properties are advertised for six days from 6am Wednesday to midnight the following Monday. It makes no difference at what time or day applicants bid for the property - it is not a first come, first served service.
About the width of a tennis court, it was built in 1900 and was sold at auction last year after its elderly resident passed away.
The property fetched £155,000 - less than half the average £379,000 for a detached UK home - when it went under the hammer in September 2019.
A property developer snapped up the premises in one of the most desirable areas of Leicester where house prices average over £300,000, before renovating the tiny house.
It is now back on the market after being "thoughtfully modernised throughout" - with the front lounge being extended and a patio laid in the back garden.
The 120-year-old two-bed house also has a new roof and central heating system along with a newly-fitted modern kitchen.
It is marketed as being in high demand because it's located near schools, parks and boutique shops and only two miles from the city centre.
It features a living room (4.46m x 3.38m), kitchen (2.24m x 1.84m), dining room (3.38m x 3.65m), family bathroom and an enclosed rear garden.
Richard Chesterton, senior sales valuer at estate agents Newton Fallowell, said the unique home is perfect for a first time buyer or as an investment opportunity.
He said: "This one-off home was built on its own like this. It's one of the rarest properties you will see. You don't get them like that anymore.
"At the time it was bought by our client there were significant refurbishment works required to bring the property up to standard.
"It is a modern, yet quirky and niche property. There is now a new roof and central heating system and completely refurbished kitchen and bathroom.
"It's pretty much been taken back to a shell and started all over again. It required a thoughtful touch to maintain the character features while providing a contemporary feel.
"They have extended ever so slightly the front room. That is the only structural alteration which is all internal.
"We believe it's one of the narrowest detached houses in Britain, offering the opportunity to acquire a wonderful home within a desirable location.
"Inside it feels like a two-bed terraced property, a typical two up two down. But when you step back onto the road it surprises everybody there is nothing either side.
"It's the similar size as a terrace but it's fully detached and that's the way it's been for over a hundred years."
Photographs show how the narrow house stands alone on the residential street and features just one upstairs window looking out onto the street.
Richard said their private client, who is not from Leicester, bought the quirky house at auction in September last year.
He added: "We have been working with them for the past 12 months to fully and thoughtfully restore the property to keep its character features while bringing it into 2020 to attract what we would consider young buyers who want a niche, 'look at me' property.
"The kitchen is very modern with chrome fittings everywhere and still has the space at the back, which is really nice.
"It brings character in a modern way. I think we have done a great job.
"It provides a perfect first-time buy or investment opportunity close to well-regarded schools and boutique shops, the property is a real talking point.
"We anticipate a strong level of interest due to the unique nature and popular location and would advise any potential purchasers to view what is a superbly presented detached home."
Senior valuer Carl Finch, of SDL auctions, previously said: "The house is unlike anything I have come across before. You couldn't get a detached house much more narrow.
"It's near some great schools, close to Victoria Park and the city centre and train station are within only two miles. Plus there's lots of boutique shops close by."
The house is 21 sq ft smaller than a property in Sheffield which was billed as Britain's smallest detached house in 2014.
