Takezoe-Ishikawa Lab works on organic functional materials from physics viewpoints.
We are particularly interested in liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are a mesophase emerging between liquid and crystalline phases and have fluidity of liquid and anisotropy of crystal. Because of a novel "liquid crystalline state" which may not appear in usual materials, interesting physics emerges and associated many applications are expected. There exist many liquid crystal phases. Further new liquid crystal phases are discovered still now. We discovered the antiferroelectric liquid crystal phase and its subphases (1989), banana-shaped liquid crystal phases (1996). These liquid crystals established major fields in liquid crystal science.
It is still possible to discover novel liquid crystal phases by introducing new types of interactions and mixing different types of liquid crystals. Our objective is to find such new phases and the associated new physics from scientific viewpoint. We are expecting new attractive applications emerging from such new physics. Actually antiferroelectric liquid crystals mentioned above have been investigated for fast display application. We are pursuing research of banana-shaped liquid crystal aiming fast display devices.
We are also pursuing non-display applications. Particularly we have proposed photonic devices using cholesteric liquid crystals such as dye lasers, optical diode (optical isolator), special mirror plates, polarization control devices. Final target is cw lasing of liquid crystal dye lasers for the first time in organic systems. It is known that liquid crystals have large mobility for electron and hole carriers. We are trying to apply liquid crystals for electronic devices.
There are lots of organic materials having electronic and optic functions. We are studying organic transistors and organic light emitting diode (OLED) using thin films of small molecules and polymers.

I couldn't resist.
We took about seven hours to drive to Banff from Kelowna. It was a very scenic drive and we took our time to stop too. Banff is in the Rockies and I always have problems pronouncing its name.
The hotel receptionist cheerfully told us that we came to Banff at a good time because it was warm that day: PLUS five degrees Celsius. "That's nice. So warm," I said, realizing that this is considered warm by Banff standards, where temperatures commonly go way below zero.
I notice that Canadians say Eh a lot. Singaporeans say Eh at the beginning of our sentences. Canadians say Eh at the end of theirs. Would a Singaporean in Canada say "Eh, this Rockies very nice, eh?"
It also took me a long time to realize what a Loonie is. I thought retail staff were calling me one. But it turns out that a Loonie is a Canadian dollar coin (because of the bird on the coin) and the two dollar coin is called a Toonie (or Twonie).
We brought our winter clothes in preparation for this leg. By the time we were dressed, we looked like Bak Chang.
Our first destination was the Banff Gondolas, that took us to the summit of Sulphur Mountain. I will let the photos speak for the views.
We also drove to Lake Louise and boy, that's a sight to behold. When sunlight hits those waters, the emerald colours are stunning. The shifting of Victoria Glacier causes rock particles in the waters to reflect the lovely blue and blue-green colours.
Needless to say, EVERYONE took photos here. It was like an auto-postcard. I bet many people drive here to do wedding photos, though I am not sure if the bride in her gown will be able to tahan the cold in winter.
At the edge of Lake Louise is the hotel with probably the best views in Canada, The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. The wife and I looked longingly at the hotel. It looks expensive. Maybe we will stay here next time.
We spent longer than we expected at Lake Louise. The wife and I walked for quite a while on the snow-covered boardwalk (thank you, my hiking boots), just soaking in the breath-taking views. I am so glad we drove this far to see this.
Me: "Don't worry, I have set aside a day for your Factory Outlet Shopping. One day should be enough, right?"
Wife: *eyes narrow*
Me: "Two days?"
Wife: "…"
Me: "Let's keep it open-ended, ya? *nervous laughter*
Later at the Seattle Factory Outlets…
Me: "So you see your stores and I see mine, ok?"
Me: "Or I can also come along to give my opinion." *nervous laughter*
If Obama wins, I'm going to Singapore!
(Actually if Romney wins, I am going to Singapore too. My ticket is already booked and I can't change it. Plus, I live there.)
Four more years of Michelle Obama's toned arms. Yum.
Congrats to Singapore for keeping our 150th position in the 2012 Global Press Freedom rankings, and not dropping any further.
Maintain ah, maintain.
And Singapore was 12th of 59 countries in the Not Free category. That's ALMOST the top 20% of the bottom class!
Like we used to tell our mothers: "Ma, I was first the exam leh!"
Mother: "Wah really ah?"
Us: "Ya, from the bottom!"

The wife and I departed Seattle for Canada in our Toyota Prius rental car (kindly sponsored by Hertz) and hit the i-5N, driving north. Our drive took us to town Sumas, at the border of the USA and Canada. It felt like Sumas (and probably many US towns at the US/Canadian border) was the JB of Canada, a place where people pop over from Canada to buy cheaper petrol and duty-free liquor (but without the 3/4 tank rule).
Crossing the border with our US rental car was painless. It was even easier than crossing the Causeway in Singapore. The Canadian immigration officer just checked our passports and off we went.
When we reached the Trans Canada Highway, we knew we were truly in Canada when we saw sights like these.
Frankly, we didn't have a plan or itinerary. We did not know where exactly were were heading first or where we were going to stop. That's the beauty of self-drive, and I have enjoyed this freedom of going-with-the-flow.
We stopped at rest stops like this A&W at Revelstoke when we felt like it. Also partly because we got hungry and my butt hurt from driving for so many hours (Pro-tip: Rest often when doing long distance driving. It is better for your alertness and your butt.)
We decided to stop for the night at Kelowna. We spent two days here, enjoying the views of the Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley. We spent a lovely afternoon at Summerhill Pyramid Winery, where we had lunch with a view, took a tour of their winery, and did some awesome wine tasting.
Their wines are stored in a pyramid-shaped cellar, which is believed to make the wines taste better.
This is Ruth, our host at the winery. She was a most knowledgeable guide, about wines and about the geography of the Kelowna area.
According to Ruth, the Okanagan Lake was created when two tectonic plates collided long ago and then glaciers melted. The collision was so big that parts of the lake are as deep as 1km! The fertile sediment of the banks of the lake, together with the climate, made this place ideal for growing grapes.
We hit the road for Banff after our stay in Kelowna, but always ready to pull over whenever we saw sights that we liked.
I think I could get used to the massive sense of space in Canada. And also the awesome views.

Travel confession: We take the coffee & tea packets from the hotel room when we leave to drink at the next location. Very auntie, I know.
In fact, today's breakfast menu is: a loaf of bread from the grocery store, mini packets of butter & jam from the previous hotel's breakfast, coffee from coffee maker in the room (supplemented with coffee packets from the last hotel), and leftover pizza from last night's dinner.
Besides the saving money part, it is actually fun. It feels like a little picnic in the room.
This comes from the training I received from my mom and dad when we traveled as a family. We were blessed to get annual free travel because my late father worked in an airline, but because we were not a rich family, and because the US dollar then was THREE Singapore dollars, we had to be frugal in our ways. Children of airline parents will understand this.
So mom packed coffee powder, instant noodles, and even her own belacan. In fact, mom even used to pack a gas camping stove (which was later upgraded to a safer Sanyo travel electric hot plate) to whip up entire four-course meals with rice in the hotels and motels we stayed in, for our family of five, with groceries from that country's supermarkets (and oyster sauce from home).
And their kids (we three sons) were not allowed to ask for popcorn in Disneyland, Anaheim, USA, because it cost a small fortune in Singapore dollars. In fact, lunch for us in Disneyland back in the Eighties was the Tupperware-packed fried rice she cooked in the hotel kitchenette.
The wife and I aren't as hardcore but we still have our frugal ways.
Like taking the extra plastic fork and knife from our dinner outside to be used for our next in-room meal.
You do become your mother and father as you get older. Only in their time, they didn't need to find a way to share wifi Internet too.
Staying in a Wifi-only hotel room? Wifi Internet in room only works with one device? Easy.
MacBook Air shares the room's wifi internet with Airport Express connected to the MBA via Ethernet.
Voila! Wifi shared over Wifi!
I shall have Internet for ALL my devices! You cannot stop me!
PC can do wifi sharing over wifi with an application called Connectify, I am told.
In other news, I have a CRT tv in my hotel room (how quaint!) but just like the Rockies, it is all snow. I guess the tv reception in Canadian mountains is not so good.
Speaking of Internet, I wish to apologize to Americans for saying that the prepaid mobile data plans offered by American telcos are overpriced.
Canadian telcos are way worse.
They even charge CAD15 to merely set up and activate your prepaid simcard.
This is Idylwood Park. Located on the shores of picturesque Lake Sammamish, the wife and I stumbled upon this park after driving from Microsoft to meet some Singapore friends there.
It was an unusually sunny day in Seattle, more used to rain and overcast skies. The wife flew in to join me in Seattle and I guess she brought some of our Singapore sun here too.
We spent a pleasant time just enjoying the view and the scenery.
Did I say we visited Microsoft? Yes, some friends met us there and we toured the place which was buzzing with Windows 8, Surface and Halo 4 activity. Yes, I played some Halo 4. I may need to dust off the Xbox 360 when I get home.
Of course, I could not resist opening my blog on the browser. Hey, I do it to Apple Stores, so why not the Microsoft Visitor Center, right?
We drove our Hertz rental car (a Toyota Prius, 2012 model!) to the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. The Ballard Locks was built in 1911 provides a link for boats between the Puget Sound (sea water) and Lake Washington (fresh water).
Stay tuned for more driving adventures as we drive out to Canada from Seattle. The Canadian city of Kelowna, BC next!
So the reviews are in and according to this article, many reviewers felt let down by the iPad mini's screen: http://mrbrwn.co/SkepBW
Aiyah. Now I have to tell the wife we should wait.
Personally, I think Apple should rename their iPads to miniPad and maxiPad. And the iPhone 5 can be iPad mini-Me.
Have you ever seen a CISCO parking summons like this? How come blank one?

As podcasting gets more and more popular, it's becoming increasingly important to be competitive with your sound quality. Expanding your home podcasting space can help you level up the experience you provide to listeners and gain more subscribers. In this article, we'll talk about what you can do to enhance your home podcasting area, whether you're new to podcasting or a seasoned pro.
How to improve your recording studio from a DIY to having a pro upgrade it in your home.
One of the great things about a creative endeavor like podcasting is that you'll always be learning from past experiences and working to level up your production quality. You can even start a business podcast to help your company grow. Once you've started podcasting and gained a following, you'll likely want to know what you can do to provide an even better experience for your listeners.
Many podcasters find that they'll gain followers and then have a period where their audience growth plateaus. If this is happening to you, putting attention and time into polishing your recording processes might be just the thing to get your growth jump-started again.
Upgrading your studio
There are a few key elements to consider when you're looking at making upgrades to your podcast recording space at home. By upgrading, you could hire professionals that could help remodel a space to make it bigger, or perhaps some adaptations and of course, soundproofing your space.
1. While natural light and windows are great for stimulating creativity and increasing mental health, they are not great for recording space. Hard, flat surfaces are the enemy, especially ones that channel noise.
2. Soundproofing and sound treating are, in fact, different things that are often conflated. Sound treatment is when you add elements inside a room to control the reverb level. Things like acoustic foam, baffles, and upholstered furniture are sound treatments, not soundproofing.
3. On the other hand, soundproofing is a more permanent process that needs to happen within your room's walls, floor, and ceiling.
Buying and upgrading your equipment now that you have a budget
Even small changes can equal significant differences in the quality of your podcast. The list of gear we'll go over below can be added individually, so there's no need to go crazy with upgrading everything at once (unless you want to, in which case, have at it)!
1- Computer – Once your podcast is up and running, you'll know how much difference a good computer makes in your audio capture and editing. This is a great place to upgrade if your budget allows, and you'll likely find that your final product is of better quality for several reasons when you have a laptop with enough juice to keep up with the demands of recording and editing.
2- Microphones – If you started your podcasting journey with a USB mic, moving to an XLR microphone is a great way to get your audio even more dialed in. There is a vast range of microphones on the market, and the best choice for you will depend on your budget and what format you use for your show.
3- Pop Filter – Pop filters are an affordable way to improve your audio quality in your podcast home studio drastically. By intercepting plosives in your speech before they reach your mic, editing is smoother and easier, which results in a better end product.
4- Mic Stands – A mic stand that suits your style of recording will not only make things more comfortable but will also help to protect your gear. With many options on the market, it's easy to find the style that suits your recording needs. While you don't need to go all out and buy the most expensive one you can, a mid-range option is likely the best choice. Cheaper mic stands are less sturdy and tend to sag over time.
5- Shock Mount – Integrating a shock mount into your recording setup will help reduce noise from things like small bumps or taps and moving your microphone. It's worth investing in a mid-range to high-quality shock mount since you can use them for long periods if they're well-built. Cheaper models will be made of plastic or rubber prone to cracking over time, but higher-end shock mounts will remain durable.
6- Headphones – Headphones can really help you to polish up your podcast audio experience. Over-ear headphones will help you to be more immersed in the experience when you're recording and allow you to work on the quality of your speech by giving you a much greater ability to hear the more minor nuances of sound. So, think about investing in quality headphones to upgrade your podcast!
7- Headphone Amplifier – A headphone amp isn't necessary if you're a solo host or if you do most of your collaboration with guests or co-hosts over Zoom, Skype, etc. If you do have multiple in-studio hosts, this is a must-have to level up your audio for your podcast. Headphone amps give you greater control over each individual mic, allowing you to control the volume of each mic individually. This makes your editing process cleaner and easier, letting you focus your post-production time on other areas.
8- Audio Interface – If you make the switch to XLR mics, you'll need a way to convert that analog signal to digital – this is where the audio interface comes in. This device allows you to limit the sound coming in so that your higher frequencies aren't clipped, giving you greater control while converting your analog microphone signals into the digital format your audio capture program needs.
9- Mixer – A mixer is another alternative to a USB audio interface, but it gives you more control over EQ, etc. There are mixers with built-in USB ports, meaning that you don't have to worry about how to connect your mixer to your podcasting laptop. There are many different mixer configurations to suit your podcast's format, so some research on what the other models offer will point you in the right direction.
10- Cables – With so much essential gear to put time and energy into choosing for your home podcasting studio, cables often end up being overlooked. It's in your best interest, however, to spend time finding a quality cable option. Your cables are the connection between your microphone and the recording device. Low-quality cables can cause noise interference and signal transfer issues, potentially lowering the quality or ruining a recording.
11- Digital Audio Recorder – Unless your podcast format sees you in-studio sitting at your desk the entire time (which many do), you'll need a method of capturing audio when you're on the move. There are many options, from entry to pro-level audio recorders. You've probably noticed in other podcasts that it's really apparent when hosts are using a lower-quality recording device. Moving to a higher-end audio recorder will make an immense difference to your podcast quality, helping you produce a more professional-sounding final product.
12- Memory Storage Devices – Audio files take a lot of space to store, and with the amount of time you put into editing, you'll want to be as positive as you can be that your precious files aren't lost and remain accessible. External hard drives are the hero of this part of the story — if a bit of an unsung one. File storage can be something that we overlook until there's a problem with it, at which point it might be too late, so make sure you're proactive with this part of your podcast recording process.
13- Soundproofing Materials – Soundproofing and sound treatments come in all shapes, sizes and price points. From blankets, towels, and duvet covers hung up and stuffed under the cracks under doors to more professional solutions — you just need to make sure you're reducing interference from sounds outside your podcast studio. Chances are, you began your podcast by using things you found around the home to sound treat your studio, but if you're looking to invest in professional materials, there are many options.
14- Podcast Recording Software – The options for podcast recording software have exploded over the past few years, making more niche products for audio-only, audio and video, or remote recordings. Taking some time to browse options and think about what will work best with your format is a worthy investment. While you can get by with any old software, you'll be able to streamline your recording and editing workflow processes immensely when you find the right software for you.
15- Audio Editing Software (DAW) – Your DAW of choice is entirely personal, depending on what your workflow looks like and what your editing priorities are. Different workstations will provide unique user experiences — some of your choices may be functional. However, part of your choice may also be based on the user interface and what is the most intuitive for you.
16- Podcast Hosting Platforms – Podcast hosting platforms have proliferated in the past several years, giving creators various options and price points. If you started on a free plan and like the functionality of your podcast hosting platform, upgrading to a paid plan may be the best option for you. If you're finding limitations, we suggest trying the free versions of other platforms to see if there's another option that suits you better.
17- Internet – The Internet that supports your podcast home studio is less about what provider you go with and more about the internet speed offered in your coverage area. While you can upload your episodes on a slower internet connection, you'll definitely notice that it takes a long time to upload and that you likely won't be able to do anything else during that period. High-speed or fiber-optic internet plans will provide you with all the connectivity you need to maintain a nimble and streamlined workflow.
Improving post-production like a pro
If you're a self-taught podcast editor, there are always new things to learn and focus on to improve the final version. It can be easy to learn the basics and forget how much difference you can make to the level of professionalism by continuing to refine your editing skills, so here are a few reminders and tips to help you create a more polished podcast.
- Trim down audio clips for time and narrative
- Rearrange clips to tell a story – just because you recorded something in a specific order doesn't mean your final version needs to have the same order.
- Add music, sound effects, and other pre-recorded layers (intro, outro, & sponsors)
- EQ & compression on each track
- Adjust individual track volumes
- Bounce a single stereo track that's ready for mastering
- Final compression
- Track limiting for loudness
Improving your techniques and strategies
Looking at established podcasts for examples, you'll find several commonalities between them. If you're not already doing these things or could polish them up a bit more, check out the list below for areas where you can add more to your podcast.
- Create podcast trailers for marketing and overall professionalism.
- Use Sound FX to create a more engaging and layered experience for listeners.
- Create audiovisual intro and closing themes to add to your show's branding.
- Use Calls To Action (CTA) to make your audience more engaged.
- Use social media to promote episodes and to attract new listeners, like doing giveaways and collaborations.
Improve your personal podcasting skills
Working on refining your podcasting skills and learning new ways to make a more professional show from your home studio is one of the great parts of the podcasting journey. Once you have the basics down like your podcast format, the structure, and your visual identity, that's when the real fun begins! In this section, we'll review a list of areas you can incorporate into your show to get even more out of it and give more to your audience.
Learn from your podcast analytics
Establishing how you measure your podcast analytics, your goals, and what information you can use is a compelling way to connect with your audience. Having the insights from analytics can give you tons of information on what's important to your listeners so you can provide them with a podcast that speaks to their likes and priorities. In the end, that will come back to you in the form of even more followers.
Do deep research
Knowing the latest trends within the podcasting industry and asking tons of questions are the best ways to ensure that your podcast stays relevant and competitive in an ever-changing market. It's a great idea to keep a live document of trends that you saw in established and successful podcasts to inspire you to incorporate some of those best practices into your own show. Educating yourself on these trends can be a great source of inspiration for something you may not have thought of on your own. A new segment idea might emerge, or you might learn best practices or tips on gaining more advertisers and sponsors.
Content skills
It can be easy to forget that we need to be diligent and evaluate and create content plans based on data-driven insights. Once your podcast has been live for a few months or more, take some time to look back and identify which areas worked the best and had the best audience response. Chances are, you can turn these areas of success into regular parts of your show, and continuing to do this will help you to create an engaging and responsive podcast that resonates with your audience.
Communication skills
In essence, a podcast is a communication method, which means that your communication skills need to be extra strong to ensure that your message and content resonate with your audience. This applies to your recorded content, as well as how you conduct yourself with guests and any advertisers or sponsors you may gain. Professional communication and good organization are critical if you want to grow your podcast. A great example is setting expectations and a schedule for any guests you might have on your show. Joining a podcast as a guest can be a nerve-wracking experience for some, and uncertainty or disorganization around the process creates an experience of unnecessarily heightened anxiety. Things like pre-production meetings, setting agendas, and providing your guest with an outline of the show and any homework they can do beforehand are excellent best practices to ensure that your guests are comfortable and would happily return.
Creating a marketing plan for your podcast
As with most businesses, podcasts are not a "build it, and they will come" type of endeavor. You will need to put together a plan to market and promote your podcast to watch it grow and thrive. You could also listen to marketing podcasts for more ideas on inspiring ideas.
Establish your short and long-term goals
One of the best ways to establish your goals is to create a SWOT analysis. This acronym stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This exercise can help you develop areas to improve or focus on, leading you to create achievable goals.
Speaking of goals, make your goals SMART goals. This acronym stands for specific, attainable, relevant, and timely. The idea is to make goals that are too broad or unrealistic and narrow them down into something that can be measured and is reasonable within your given timeline. Instead of your goal being something like "I want to get advertisers for my podcast," a smart goal would look more like "I want to gain two new advertisers to my podcast to help me increase production quality and purchase new gear within the next six months."
KPIs are numbers that you set for yourself to benchmark and measure growth. For a podcast, those can be things like how many followers you've gained, how many downloads you have, and what improvement you would like to see over three months, six months, and one year.
Measure your goals periodically. Goals are only helpful if you have a way of tracking success and measuring how you're doing. That's why writing down your goals and objectives is so important — it creates a way to hold yourself accountable for what you've done to work towards them. Setting reminders in your calendar to review goals periodically is an excellent way of holding yourself responsible for how much effort you're putting into improving your podcast.
One of the most significant ways to grow your followership is to ensure that your podcast is available across all distribution channels and platforms. Syndication is something that can take your podcast from small side hustle to a full-time endeavor. Many podcast hosting platforms make it simple to provide your podcast on multiple podcatchers. However, there is some legwork for you to do in order to get approval from individual platforms like Apple Podcast, Spotify, or Stitcher.
Build up an interactive network
Well, at first, podcasting may seem like something that is done with just the host and production team of your show but to be successful, there are many more people that you should involve. As a part of your marketing plan, there are a few key things to consider in order to boost your exposure and grow your podcast's audience.
Partner with a reputable podcast producer.
When you make the jump to bringing on an established podcast producer, you'll find that the expertise and resources available to you jump exponentially almost overnight. A good podcast producer will bring years of experience and knowledge to your show, helping you to put together your best final product for your listeners.
Be a guest on a reputable podcast.
We can all be guilty of getting into a rut with which podcasts we listen to. Your potential audience isn't necessarily out there looking for you — they're listening to shows they know and are comfortable with. The advantage of being a guest on an established and reputable podcast is that you get access to their audience, which is a whole new full of listeners that you can also draw to your show. The same goes for having other podcaster's guests on your show. Generally, when you are a guest on the show, you will mention that on your own show, leading listeners to a new show to hear someone they're already familiar with and know they like.
Connect with your audience and build a strong relationship
The best and most successful podcasts are ones where they've created a whole community around themselves and the contents of their show. Social media is a huge driver, as is two-way participation in shows and online. In recent years, some podcasts have even organized in-person meet-ups and activities for their followers, whether they are present or not. These kinds of activities foster solid connections and loyal listeners.
Social media
- Facebook – Facebook pages and secret Facebook groups are an amazing way to provide safe spaces for your audience to come together, create community, and discuss topics from your show.
- TikTok – This platform is perfect for expanding the reach of your show and getting new eyes on your content by capitalizing on TikTok trends that are always circulating. There is definitely a learning curve to get started on TikTok, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be off to the races.
- YouTube – YouTube is the perfect place to give your audience a visual medium to watch your show. If video is something you're considering, publishing episodes on YouTube is an engaging way to let your audience see the face they've become accustomed to hearing.
- Instagram – For podcasts, Instagram provides a way to give users quick updates on new podcasts and upcoming episodes and an insider look into the behind-the-scenes of their favorite show.
- Linkedin: Share insights, engage with professionals, and optimize your profile with podcast keywords for an effective marketing strategy that expands your audience.
Let the audience be a part of your show.
Ask for feedback from your listeners, invite them to your program, and share audio or another creative way to let your audience know they are being listened to. It's one thing to feel an attachment to a show you listen to frequently, but it adds a whole new level of engagement when you feel that your favorite show is interacting with you and listening to you. Getting your audience to engage with your podcast and with you is one of the best ways to foster that sense of community and create loyal listeners.
Ask your listeners for reviews.
Requesting your listeners give you a rating or review on their favorite podcast app goes a long way toward helping boost your exposure and gain new followers. Something important to remember for this is that you're much more likely to get people to write a review if you explain why you're asking. If you create an engaged group of listeners and clarify that a thirty-second review could help grow your show even more and provide them with more content, they'll be much more likely to take that time and leave one for you than if you just request without an explanation.
Marketing strategies for your podcast success
Podcast SEO
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is how websites rank higher in search engine lists. If someone is looking online for true crime podcasts, for example, the first page of Google results will show up because those websites are using SEO techniques to increase traffic to their site. Google sees these as popular due to their SEO strategies and will provide those shows at the top of search rankings.
One of the best ways to boost your SEO is by using your website's blog to incorporate keywords commonly searched in relation to the type of show you create. If you've ever wondered why seemingly random companies have blog pages, this is why. The more frequently a keyword shows up on a website, provided that content is high-quality, the more likely that website is to show up at the top of a search list.
Research the best type of podcast ads
The primary source of income for Podcasts comes from their advertisers. The best practice is to seek out advertisers that align with your brand and you can provide genuine testimonials. Part of creating a solid connection with your audience means that they trust you and will listen to you if you promote products that they use. So, ensuring you are working with brands that you truly support and like is essential in maintaining that trust with your audience.
Offer Subscriptions for exclusive content in your newsletter.
Subscriptions are a very good way to offer your community exclusive content. You can charge your subscribers a basic monthly fee to have access to this special content. So it is super important to listen to your community since most of the time your audience will tell you what they want to hear from you. Maybe you could offer exclusive episodes, interviews, discounts, or even funny bloopers. This is why it is essential to define what type of content your audience is willing to pay for and to find a differentiator that sets you apart from the rest of the podcasters.
Affiliate Partnerships
There is also an interesting way to make more side money. You could win commissions when your audience chooses to purchase a product or a service for a brand that you recommended under a specific link or code. This affiliate advertising will work better if you know the product yourself, that way you can offer genuine and trustworthy reviews. This will also help you generate trust and loyalty to your community. A lot of brands have affiliate programs, search for a product or service that you like and ask yourself if it has the same values as your podcast.
Email marketing
Email marketing can be a great way to achieve this interaction with your listeners and keep them engaged. With an email marketing campaign, you can ask for feedback through a survey, send promotional offers, event invites, write an RFP (request for proposal) with compact information about your business, where you can announce a project, describe it, and solicit contributors to participate.
But here's an extra tip: use your email signature to promote your podcast in every email your team sends. It's an easy way to get your show in front of more people.
Intellectual Property
Now that you have worked on creating a brand for your podcast and you have been able to achieve a vision and voice for your brand, then it could be the right time to think of other products or services you could develop. The difference between affiliate partnerships is that you will own these products or services. They might take more time to develop as you have to create them, but again, listen to the necessities of your audience. They could give you some ideas. Some products or services that you could develop are; books, virtual or live events, merchandising, or conferences.
Improving your home podcast studio and marketing plan is an exciting journey. With some dedication and effort, the growth you can see will surely bring you that buzz of excitement and pride. From upgrading your audio equipment to soundproofing your studio to taking the time to create a solid marketing plan and execute it, there are a variety of ways for you to tackle the goal of creating a more professional podcast experience for your audience. If you ever decide to venture into voice-over work, consider optimizing your space for a voice-over studio to further enhance your podcasting endeavors. Once you start seeing the results from your efforts, don't be surprised if you're even more hooked on podcasting than ever!

API credentials
Credentials for Connect API
Environment -specific credentials
Applixure Connect API supports API credentials that relate to and gives an access to one Applixure Analytics environment per credential keypair (username+password). These credentials are owned by the Applixure environment for which they were created for and cease to exist if the environment is closed.
Login vs API credentials
Please note:
API credentials are separate from the normal login username and password used to login to the Analytics Web UI. API username/password keypair does not work for the interactive Web UI login and vice versa.
You can generate environment -specific API credentials keypairs from the Applixure Web UI, using Settings -> Environment settings -> Integrations and API access page.
You can also individually enable or disable specific credential keypair, to temporarily prevent access to the API data using those credentials and add a comment describing the key's purpose.
If given credential keypair is no longer needed or in use, you can also remove the keypair completely.
Removing API credential keypair is an irreversible operation
Once removed, keypair cannot be recovered back into use and all clients using that keypair will cease to be able to access data from the API unless new set of credentials is used instead.
Mind the security in handling API keys
API credential keypairs should be considered security-sensitive information as they will allow full [read-only] access to all data in a given environment by any party holding the credentials. For this reason, only administrators can see and generate API credentials in the Applixure Web UI and you should guard access to the generated credentials.
Maximum number of credential keypairs
Please note that you can generate up to maximum of 100 unique credential keypairs per environment.
Commonly, only one set of API credentials is necessary but if you need to install different set of API credentials for different systems, and want to be able to disable access from some of those system at later date without affecting other API consumers, you may want to consider generating more than one set of API credentials.
Account -specific credentials
As an alternative using environment -specific API credentials keypair, Connect API credentials can also be created at the account -level. The advantage of creating API credentials for the account instead individually for each environment is that you only need to configure one set of credentials for the system accessing Applixure's data and have access to all environments' data without separate authentication required.
One the flip side, this also means that you should make sure to take extra care of guarding the account level credentials as compared to using environment -specific credentials, as they will enable a broader access to the data and any unauthorized usage of such credentials or theft of such credentials will potentially compromise all your environments data.
You can generate environment -specific API credentials keypairs from the Applixure Web UI, using Settings -> Account settings -> Integrations and API access page.

Next: Field Initializers, Previous: Accessing Fields, Up: Structs [Contents][Index]
It is common for struct fields to be constrained to their values to satisfy some conditions. Obvious examples are magic numbers, and specification-derived constraints.
In Poke you can specify a field's constraint using the following syntax:
field_type field_name : expression ;
where expression is an arbitrary Poke expression, that should evaluate to an integer value. The result is interpreted as a boolean. As an example, this is how the ELF magic number is checked for:
type Ctf_Preamble = struct { uint<16> ctp_magic : ctp_magic == CTF_MAGIC; byte ctp_version; byte ctp_flags; };
The constraint expression will often include the field where it is installed, but that's not mandatory.
Field constraints play an important role in mapping. On one side, a map will fail if there is some constraint that fails. On the other, they guide the mapping of unbounded arrays. See Mapping Arrays.
Another common usage of constraint expressions is to alter the global
state after decoding a field. For example, this is how mapping an ELF
header sets the current endianness, depending on the value of
byte ei_data : ei_data == ELFDATA2LSB \ ? set_endian (ENDIAN_LITTLE) \ : set_endian (BIG);
Note that set_endian
always returns 1

Wind Turbine
Case Study
10 times longer bearing life for one of Denmark's top turbine manufacturers!
Weekly costs have been cut down and the personal safety of the operators has increased, just by replacing conventional steel bearings with CeramicSpeed ones.
One of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in Denmark uses hand held sanders in its production. Due to the hard load of particle contamination including fiberglass dust, it was necessary to provide service to the machines on a weekly basis in order to replace the bearings. Failing bearings also caused an increase in the vibration, which compromised the health and safety of the operators (Reynaud's Syndrome).
CeramicSpeed Xtreme is designed for extreme conditions. The ceramic balls in our bearings are unaffected by dust, grit, metal filings or tiny mineral fragments, which therefore makes them the best choice for applications like the hand-held sanders.
This customer has experienced significant savings on bearing related maintenance costs. They are now replacing them every 10-12 weeks and not every week like they used to. Along with this, the safety levels of the operators have also increased significantly.
Why Hybrid Bearings?
4-8 times longer lifetime
Zero Current Erosion
Higher Speed Capability
Lightning-fast ROI

peter parker (thespiderling) wrote in avengers_logs, @ 2019-05-21 22:04:00 |
There was something May always called Parker luck.
It was what Peter blamed when he crammed all night for a physics test only to find it was scheduled a week later; it was what followed him when his webbing missed his mark and he slammed into the side of a building. It was what he was feeling when he'd pressed trembling hands to his uncle's bleeding chest, two seconds too late from stopping a mugging Spider-man could have prevented with his eyes closed.
And so when Peter fell into the worst dream he'd ever had, it seemed like just one more stroke of that same old misfortune.
He'd died and woke up to rusted-orange skies and the promise of battle to right all of Thanos' wrongs. Dr. Strange was there, the other Pete and what was left of the Guardians. Peter fought and defended with everything he had (and god, was he scared), until his nose was bloodied and the gauntlet in Captain Marvel's capable hands. He saw faces he recognized - Wanda, Cap, Pepper. Tony.
Part of Peter knew what was going to happen before it did. His skin crawled in the worst way, his enhanced senses like talons scraping at the back of his neck. But this time his body wasn't scrambling to prepare him for his own death; instead it was for another's.
Tears and words spilled out as he inwardly begged for the unthinkable before him to not be real. It wasn't right. Tony could do anything. Peter had believed that ever since he was a little kid in an Iron Man mask at the expo - he believed it when Tony had pushed the Staten Island ferry back together, when he'd built him a suit that could survive space, when they'd taken on Thanos for the first time. So why couldn't he walk away from this now?
There was the lake, a funeral, and wave after wave of sorrow and guilt. He found his aunt again, he found Ned, and after five years of being gone, he was supposed to regain his footing in a world that had changed in a blink of an eye.
It took a while for Peter to come back to himself. It took longer for him to remember that life wasn't his own: that he was home and crouched on his bedroom floor with his head buried in his hands. A car horn blared outside and someone shouted back; it was morning in Queens and his aunt had left at dawn for the morning shift. He was alone, and this - this had to be what Strange was talking about. The dreams. Ever since stumbling into this timeline coated in dust, Peter had wondered where that other universe would lead. Now he knew and he wished he didn't.
"Hey Karen?" The suit was online and draped over the chair where he'd left it after getting back late from a patrol last night. His voice was cracked and hoarse, but his AI heard. "Is - Mr. Stark, is he-"
"Mr. Stark is at his penthouse with Ms. Potts and Morgan, Peter. Would you like me to call him?"
He was okay. He was okay here with his family, and Peter was hit with relief that was still tainted with too much grief. "N-no, Karen. Thanks."
Peter rubbed at his stinging eyes, trying to will his hands to stop shaking. It was past 10 and he was late for school, but he'd be giving that a miss today. His senses were turned up way beyond what was usual even for him, and his heart was pounding with adrenaline from the memory of the battle, of everything that had happened after. He needed to figure out how to breathe again before he put his mind to what came next - and that was making sure what happened there never, ever happened here.

Over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries were affected by a data breach on the social media giant. A hacker published phone numbers, personal data, and other information of Facebook users on a low-level hacking forum.
Data of 32 million U.S. users was exposed. Meanwhile the United Kingdom affected users reached 11 million and over 6 million in India. The leaked data includes Facebook IDs, locations, birthdates, phone numbers, biographies and some even got their email addresses leaked.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Facebook told Business Insider that the data was leaked because of a vulnerability that hit Facebook in 2019. Despite the leaked data being 3 years old; the hack still provides cybercriminals with dangerous information that may enable them to scam millions of people.
"A database of that size containing the private information such as phone numbers of a lot of Facebook's users would certainly lead to bad actors taking advantage of the data to perform social engineering attacks [or] hacking attempts," Alon Gal, CTO of cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock—who first discovered the entire trough of leaked data online on Saturday—told Business Insider.
Facebook data hacks don't seem to stop
Alon Gal found out about the leaked data back in January. A user in a hacking forum promoted supposedly automated software that sells people phone numbers of hundreds of millions of Facebook users.

It was bullish trading for the crypto market, with Ethereum leading the rally after the Altcoin found support at the $2,025 price region we made mention of in a previous analysis Bitcoin Bearish Breakout. Ethereum Crashing Too!
This price bounce in Ethereum slows down the current crypto sell-off we are experiencing and increases the potential for us to see a bullish reversal in currencies like Bitcoin in the coming days.
In this cryptoanalysis, we will be talking about the key levels we are watching on both the Ethereum and Bitcoin charts and what we expect might happen next.

Bitcoin Still Bearish
Even though we had a bullish day in Bitcoin today, the cryptocurrency is still very bearish and trading below our $35,629 key resistance. As far as this resistance holds, we can expect to see Bitcoin price continue to trend lower in the coming days.
We talked more in-depth about the pattern forming on the 1-hour timeframe in the previous analysis. In that Bitcoin Price prediction, we warned about the Bitcoin short-term levels to watch as well as the rising wedge channel Bitcoin is currently trading in Bitcoin Price Analysis – What's Happening on The Hourly Timeframe?
What Does This Mean For Altcoins?
Even though Bitcoin is still very bearish, it is important to note that Ethereum just found support and is rallying back up as we speak.
And while Bitcoin still holds a very large crypto market cap, most Altcoins are on the Ethereum network and therefore impacted more by the move in the Ethereum price. And right now that move is bullish!
If this $2,025 support holds, we can expect to see Ethereum's bullish trend continue to drag the Altcoin market up with it.
However, if this Ethereum support level gives way, we might see the general crypto market sell-off continue in the coming days.
Final Verdict!
Ethereum is bullish after it found support at the $2,025 price level, but how long will this bullish support last especially now that Bitcoin is gradually becoming very bearish for the short term.
If this Bitcoin sell-off continues, we expect it to affect Ethereum dragging the price back below that $2,025 support. But until that happens, the Ethereum bulls have a fighting chance and in the coming days, we will see if they take it.

Ques. What is Rentier State Theory? Examine its relevance in understanding states in contemporary MENA region.
- Rent-seeking is related to the phenomenon of the rentier state. This label applies to countries that earn most of their revenue from exporting a natural resource or leasing natural resources to foreign companies. It forms an important concept within the political economy approach in comparative politics.
- Although the model of a 'rentier state' initially builds on the concept of rent as defined by the economist David Ricardo at the beginning of the 19th century, it is most often associated with the political and social situations of a certain number of hydrocarbon-rich Middle Eastern and North African states.
- However, a number of scholars also associate the concept of rentier state with European imperialism based on exploitation of resources from their colonies in developing world. According to Luciani economies then become "allocation" states, distributing the rents they accrue, uninhibited by the need for taxation levied on productive economic sectors.
- Hazem Beblawi introduced a rentier state theory using three key characteristics.
- Firstly, in a rentier state, rent is the predominant income.
- Secondly, a substantial amount of that rent is gained externally, i.e. sustaining an economy in the absence of "a strong productive domestic sector".
- Thirdly, this external rent is earned by "only few", or only "a small fraction of the society", introducing the idea of the few versus the many.
- Lastly, in a rentier state, the government takes on the role of "the few" and therefore largely receives the mentioned external rent.
- Some social scientists have argued that rentier states are unlikely to be accountable to their citizens as they are not dependent on tax revenues for their survival. This can lead them to be more tyrannical than other governments. Bebalwi and Luciani term this as "No Taxation-No Representation."
- Most of the major Middle Eastern and North African oil states – including Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt – have at various times earned the label rentier state. The phenomenon of the rentier state is one of the explanations for the lack of democracy in many states rich in key resources such as oil.
- Ross in his analysis of rentier states in MENA region argues about the "repression effect", that is resource wealth allows these countries to spend a lot on internal security, thereby blocking democratic aspirations of the people. This is further illustrated by Arab Spring and how it was widespread mainly only two of the rentier states, namely Bahrain and Libya.
- Most of the major MENA oil states have at various times earned the label rentier state. This has applied most obviously at times when the global price of oil has been high, though, and the long-term decline in the place of oil in the world economy may be having important implications.
- The long-term result, suggests Seznec, might be that Gulf states like Saudi Arabia's political economy moves away from being 'the epitome of a rentier state' and instead begins to resemble those of more advanced industrial democracies.
- UAE's investments primarily upon tourism and real-estate as drivers of economic growth are pointed out as examples of economic diversification by Acuto.
- Similarly, scholars like Herb point to the insufficiency of rentier state theory without taking into context other important factors like historical context, socialisation, religious values etc prevalent in the regions.

Modern Language Studies (English, German, Czech)
1st cycle
The Institute of Modern Language Studies is a dynamically developing Institute at the State University of Applied Sciences in Racibórz. It consists of three units running courses in English, German and Czech Philology.
The Institute of Modern Language Studies has well-qualified and experienced faculty members, and the high quality of the academic work carried out within the Institute meets the needs of both students' expectations and the job market. The Institute cooperates closely with the local community: local governments, educational institutions, regional foundations and associations. This provision of high quality education is also based on the development and implementation of the practical studies scheme, which enables students of philology to achieve the required range of skills and knowledge. Studies end with final examinations and the graduates are awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Institute of Modern Language Studies has also joined the ERASMUS + program, cooperating with universities from abroad, where students gain valuable experience, develop foreign language communication skills and learn about the cultures of foreign countries which might prove beneficial to their future careers.
The curriculum of the Modern Language Studies Institute consists of several subject areas. The first of these includes practical foreign language learning focused on the basic skills necessary for communication (speaking, listening, reading, writing), and practical learning of another foreign language.
The second area is typically philological in focus, and includes: general academic studies such as the history of literature; practical aspects of literary studies and linguistics; and the geography, history and culture of the studied language area (English and German). In the final year of study, students attend a seminar during which they work together with a supervisor on a research project and the preparation of a diploma paper.
In addition to practical foreign language learning and philological subjects, students of English and German Philology choose a module of specialization subjects after the first year, preparing them for a future profession. The specializations available are:
- Teaching,
- Translation,
- English / German in Business.
For those students who choose the Teaching specialization, courses are tailored to achieve necessary competencies for working with foreign language learners, i.e. psychology, pedagogy, didactics, voice emission and information technology. These subjects are supplemented with work practice.
Students who specialize in Translation are taught subjects which prepare them for the role of a professional translator. These subjects are conducted by academic teachers who (in addition to their academic achievements) have extensive practical experience.
Students interested in English/German in Business have the opportunity to broaden their practical knowledge of the language as well as acquiring professional nomenclature in specialized areas of knowledge (e.g. law, economics, intercultural studies, etc.). They also study business and commercial correspondence, business and administrative language, translation and editing of specialized texts, business and EU projects, and public relations.
Apart from the intensive learning of the Czech language from a basic level, students of Czech philology are introduced to the literature, history and culture of the Czech Republic. Students of Czech philology are also introduced to the literature, as well as the history and culture of the Czech Republic. The curriculum during the second year includes subjects connected with both theory and practice of translation. Lectures, workshops and seminars are conducted in well-equipped rooms, as well as in 'real life' conditions (such as the local police station, the border guard center, the registry office, etc.).
Moreover, students have an opportunity to visit foreign universities participating in international agreements. The Department of Czech Philology cooperates extensively with universities in: Ostrava, Olomouc and Prague. Students have the chance to develop their cultural and research interests during their academic and didactic trips; additionally, they participate in international research conferences.

ICRC ready to lend assistance to Azerbaijan in addressing mine problem, says country representative
Baku, December 4, AZERTAC
"The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is ready to lend assistance to Azerbaijan in addressing mine problem," said head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Delegation in Azerbaijan Dragana Kojic as she addressed the round-table discussions on the "Protection of the disabled persons and mine victims in Azerbaijan".
Dragana Kojic stressed the importance of providing multifaceted assistance to the mine victims and their families. "Following 2020, the vast majority of landmine victims in Azerbaijan are men. Considering the fact that they are main breadwinners in their families, it is crucial to meet any needs of their family members. We are ready to provide support to Azerbaijan's Ombudsman Office. Our goal is to assess the best practices, discuss and eliminate the gaps, and discuss the future activity," Kojic added.

2/1/19: Updating odds and ends
Post date: Feb 01, 2019 5:43:46 PM
I was very happy to be invited back on the Alohomora Podcast, so give a listen to me discussing a Half-Blood Prince chapter on Episode #263.
Here is something that's been needing to happen for a very long time: my YouTube channel has been organized and curated. With nearly 800 videos, scattered playlists (over 60 of them) no longer quite sufficed for folks to find what they needed. So I went through, and organized the playlists into categories, so now hopefully folks can find what they need. There is a wealth of wizard rock (organized by event and by artist), there are playlists for cons and for Quidditch and a whole host of other stuff. This probably could use more work, especially within the playlists themselves, but it's an important step.
Over on the cosplay website, I have now done enough costumes from Puffs to move them over to a new Puffs category.
There's a lot happening with the Dancing Death Eaters over on their page, including a new routine in the works, and lots of videos being uploaded - most notably, the very first video of our routine to Don't Wanna Be a Death Eater.

Since its launch in late 2010, Instagram has become one of the most popular mobile photo-sharing services on earth and now boasts more than 300 million users. Instagram is no longer just about sharing square-cropped happy snaps with friends and family, it's a global community of mobile photography enthusiasts and a means of promoting people, products and in some instances, even places.
It's this idea of promoting a particular country and showcasing its natural (and urban) beauty that led local Instagram enthusiast Craig Rodney to start the @southafrica Instagram account. Instagram users are encouraged to tag photos they consider quintessentially South African with #ThisIsSouthAfrica and Rodney then selects the best images and shares them via the @southafrica account, along with a link to the Instagram account of the photographer in question.
But the account is more than simply an advertisement for all South Africa has to offer, it's also intended to inspire feelings of national pride. "I want it to make people feel love for South Africa, whether they're locals, South Africans living overseas or foreigners wanting to come to SA," Rodney says.
The @southafrica Instagram account was originally registered by an American who had visited South Africa, but there was little activity on it. When Rodney first become interested in starting a South Africa-themed account he contacted the account owner and asked if he could take over @southafrica. Thankfully, she agreed.
"The account was first registered when Instagram launched in 2010 but it wasn't being used," Rodney explains. "In its current form, the first picture was posted on 25 May 2013." Today the @southafrica account hosts more than 750 images and has garnered more than 42 000 followers.
Rodney, who is also one of the founders of Johannesburg-based digital agency Cerebra, essentially runs the account single-handedly, though he says he occasionally ropes in "guest Instagrammers" to look after the account while he's travelling.
Asked what inspired him to join Instagram in the first place, Rodney says the service gives users the "ability to travel the world and see things through other people's eyes" while also making it possible for people "to see the world through your eyes".
"I love finding new, cool people on Instagram. And then there's the community. The South African Instagram communities are incredibly active and friendly – you can find a walk in almost any town or city at any time. It's amazing."
Rodney says this sense of community is integral to Instagram. "Community is a very big part of what makes Instagram cool. Meeting new people and going on walks and photo adventures is a big part of why I love Instagram, and the community is the central heartbeat of the scene in South Africa. If you took that away you would lose a major component of what Instagram is about.
"That's not to say the community is critical. Comparatively speaking, the number of people who actively participate in the community is small relative to the total number of Instagram users, but it's definitely a big part of the soul of Instagram," he explains.
What does Rodney imagine the account will look like in five years time? "That's a long way away in social media terms. I want it to be the portal through which millions of people can fall in love with, or stay in love with, South Africa. I want it to be a big contributor to the Instagram community, helping bring people together and exposing and profiling talented people. I want it to be something all South Africans are proud of."

Jerry Schwartz buys into the Liberman's Four Points Sheraton
By Carolyn Cummins
Hotel developer Jerry Schwartz has joined forces with a Melbourne-based Liberman family-backed funds manager, Impact Investment Group, to develop the new Four Points by Sheraton in downtown Sydney.
IIG entered into put and call options with joint-venture developers Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House Australia in April to acquire a hotel and an office building that form part of the Central Park precinct for about $190 million.
The buildings are due for completion in mid-2018. One is a six-level, 5413 sq m commercial office property known as '100 Broadway' and the other is the 297-room 'Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park' hotel.
Both properties will be owned by IIG-run investment syndicates and it is understood Dr Schwartz has invested in the syndicate that will own the hotel.
The size of Dr Schwartz's investment in a newly formed syndicate was not disclosed but industry suggestions that he had contributed more than $150 million, are said to be "well in excess of the mark".
Nonetheless, Dr Schwartz will be the majority shareholder in the syndicate. A spokesman for IIG said the managers never disclose individual investors' details.
Dr Schwartz has a direct ownership in the nearby Rydges and Mercure hotels and the under-construction Sofitel at Darling Harbour. He has said, in the past, he considers the southern end of the CBD as the fastest-growing accommodation sector.
The new deal will be the 13th hotel bought by Dr Schwartz and his seventh in Sydney. It comes just months before the opening of the five-star, 590-room Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, which he bought for $360 million in 2015. Dr Schwartz is a cosmetic surgeon, but in between his surgery and hotel developments, he is also renovating his $25 million house, Loch Maree, which covers more than 2000 sqm on Vaucluse Bay.
The 100 Broadway building and the hotel form part of DUO – a mixed-use development comprising two towers of residential, hotel, retail, childcare and commercial spaces, designed by the architecture firm Foster + Partners and local collaborating architect Architectus.
Dr Schwartz was a panelist at the HotelsWorld 2017 conference in Sydney this week, but declined to comment directly on the deal.
But he tantalised attendees in May at the Australasian Hotel Industry Conference (AHICE) in Melbourne, saying he wanted to make an "acquisition at the southern end of Sydney this year".
It is understood Mark Durran, managing director of JLL Hotels & Hospitality, brokered the deal but he could not be reached for comment.
Hotel sector
The deal comes as the hotel sector is in an expansion phase. In Sydney, there are three new developments at Darling Harbour, being the new Sofitel, the planned Ritz-Carlton adjoining The Star and the new W hotel on the site of the former Imax theatre. James Packer's Crown group is also planning an integrated resort and casino at Barangaroo.
In Melbourne, the W Hotel on Collins Street will open in 2020. It is being developed in partnership with Daisho Development Melbourne and Cbus Property at 447 Collins Street.
Global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide, Anthony Ingham, said part of the $1 billion mixed-use luxury development Collins Arch, W Melbourne will "fuse the brand's signature Whatever/Whenever® service and innovative programming with Melbourne's hip and historic setting".
The new Veriu boutique hotel brand is also looking at new sights in Melbourne, as is the Intercontinental group which will open a Holiday Inn Express in Melbourne's Southbank in 2019, bringing its total Melbourne room count across its Holiday Inn, Indigo, Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental brands to 1558.
According to Michael Simpson, managing director of Savills Hotels, there has been a significant slowdown of hotel sales year to date in 2017 compared to 2016, with the lack of stock continuing to drive up pricing, with the median passing yield falling to 7.7 per cent for the first half of 2017 compared to 8 per cent for the sme time in 2016.
Mr Simpson said with banks seeking to limit debt following APRA restrictions, this may start to spread to hotel assets.
"The ability to obtain bank finance for hotel development has become increasingly harder. However Sydney continues to be the exception to the rule due to minimal new supply and high demand forecasts, providing lower risk and a positive outlook," Mr Simpson said.
"There have been very few hotels sold with the ability to obtain vacant possession with investors applying a premium to hotels with an option of vacant possession in the short term. With few existing hotels for sale investors target new hotel developments with fund through and forward commitment opportunities becoming increasingly common."

The US PGA
Brooks Koepka won his third PGA trophy – known as the Wanamaker – and therefore became the first LIV Player to win a Major.
There are some, like Colin Mongomerie and Lee Westwood, that have never won a Major and others who are unlikely to win a further one (Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day).
I put the Pargie tenner on 5 who have yet to win but look like they have ability to do so (Schauffele, Max Homa, Tyrell Hatton, Tony Finau and Correy Connors.
Connors led after the first day and looked a likely each-way bet but fell away at the end.
Some said that the downpour of biblical proportions that descended on Saturday ruined the event but a Major winner has to triumph in all conditions, as Koepka duly did.
He is now a top six player and that guarantees him a Ryder Cup place.
However, playing in LiV events, he may lose this ranking. It seems unimaginable that Zack Johnson will not pick him.

Fort Lauderdale is a beautiful city on the east coast of Florida, home to the International Swimming Hall of Fame and plenty of beaches. Fort Lauderdale is also mere miles from the famous Florida Everglades. After Florida voters approved Amendment 2 in 2016, medical marijuana became legal throughout the state of Florida. These pieces of legislation are new and still changing, so many residents of Fort Lauderdale have questions about medical marijuana in their hometown.
Is Medical Marijuana Legal in Fort Lauderdale?
Once Amendment 2 went into effect, medical marijuana was officially legalized in Florida, which includes the city of Fort Lauderdale. Since its legalization, Fort Lauderdale has enforced a law to limit the number of medical marijuana treatment centers in the city. This has made it more difficult for eligible patients to purchase medical marijuana in Fort Lauderdale, but it is legal to own and use if you have a state-issued medical card.
However, this and similar actions throughout Florida are largely due to city officials being cautious of the effects of medical cannabis legalization. As treatment has proven to be successful and safe for the community, Fort Lauderdale and other cities have grown more supportive of medical marijuana treatment.
Fort Lauderdale Businesses Embrace Medical Cannabis
Support for medical marijuana has been flourishing in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area, and the region has been ranked 8th among top areas in the country for cannabis job openings. Even residents who are not medical marijuana patients are enjoying the benefits of marijuana extracts, as local restaurants begin serving CBD-infused items. Fort Lauderdale locals can enjoy CBD-infused pizza at Pizza City and CBD-spiked Cuban cafecitos at Colada.
It is important to note that CBD-infused items will not get you high, but can produce a sense of relaxation and pain relief, which is one of the many benefits of medical marijuana treatment.
Fort Lauderdale Medical Marijuana Doctors
CannaMD offers several convenient locations throughout the state of Florida, including one in Fort Lauderdale. Here, Fort Lauderdale patients can find trained medical marijuana doctors who are qualified to recommend you for treatment in the state of Florida. Once we confirm that you qualify for treatment, we can help you become certified for medical marijuana by providing you with the state-required recommendation.
Our Fort Lauderdale office is located at:
1451 West Cypress Creek Road, Suite 300
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309
Where to Buy Medical Marijuana in Fort Lauderdale
Although the city of Fort Lauderdale has made it difficult to purchase medical marijuana in the area, nearby cities such as Deerfield Beach offer many convenient and reputable medical marijuana treatment centers. If you are purchasing medical marijuana, it is important to note that you can only purchase medication from licensed medical marijuana treatment centers. If you find that your desired treatment center is not close enough to you, many authorized dispensaries offer delivery services for your convenience.
For those willing to travel, licensed dispensaries in Deerfield Beach include:
148 North Federal Highway, Suite 146, 148, 150, and 152
Deerfield Beach, FL 33441
GTI (Rise Dispensaries)
2305 W Hillsboro Boulevard
Deerfield Beach, FL 33442
458 W Hillsboro Boulevard
Deerfield Beach, FL 33441
1101 S. Powerline Road, Suite 104
Deerfield Beach, FL 33442
How to Qualify for Medical Cannabis
Senate Bill 8A followed the passage of Amendment 2, regulating the use of medical marijuana and defining the conditions that could qualify a patient for treatment. Chronic pain and PTSD are the most common conditions being treated with cannabis in Broward County, although many more conditions can qualify you for treatment.
Other conditions include:
In addition to the conditions above, Florida medical marijuana doctors may also recommend medical marijuana for the treatment of other "diagnosable, debilitating conditions of like, kind, or class." This can include conditions such as chronic nonmalignant pain, terminal conditions, and anxiety.
For a full list of conditions that may qualify for medical marijuana treatment, please refer to: Qualifying Conditions.

Game on!
I've had it up to here—and I'm wearing my tallest f-me Stiletto's—with all these gameboys ganging up on Governor Schwarzensnookums. You'd think he'd outlawed future Star Treks the way they keep yammering on about his plan to appeal the California Ninth Circuit Court's ruling that found the state's AB1179 anti-violent video game bill unconstitutional. Basically, the legislation would treat violent video games like pornography. That caused the twerps to huddle in their basements, IM one another until their Cheetos-crusted fingers ached and issue public statements urging meiner liebekind to withdraw his appeal and focus instead on educating parents about game ratings and parental controls in all new consoles. Österreich's großer Söhn is having nothing of it, vowing to "vigorously defend this law" to the next level. Achtung, baby! End of story, capiche geek squad? If you keep taking your limp-armed swings at Mr. Fabulous, I'm liable to line your pimply asses up against a wall and go all Commando on you, reenacting the scene where Arnie's John Matrix throws a metal flying disc to chop off some fool's head. I'd handle you nimrods like Arnie's Cyberdyne Systems Model One O One handled Reese near the end of the first Terminator, shooting each one of you with a .357 magnum, smashing the sides of your faces with a brick-hard backhand, and—after you stuffed a pipebomb into my pelvic girdle like Reese did to T-101—watching you spackle the walls with nerd innards. I swear, if one more computer console coveting dork opens his piehole about Governor Gorgeous, I will inflict Collateral Damage on his sorry ass, like the scene where the terrorist shoves a venomous snake down a dude's throat. I don't know which I'd enjoy more: watching the gamer writhe in agony from the serpent sliding down his Sprite-lubricated esophagus or watching him try to pass it. I'll ponder that while finishing level III of Atari's first-person shooter game Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, the one my Gigante Gigabiter sold his voice and likeness to.
Someone please, pretty please, call or e-mail call me and tell me where he is! A girl gets lonely: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> </script>

Newark-based Audible, the world's largest producer and provider of original spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks, announced the creation of the Global Center for Urban Development, which will expand the company's community and economic initiatives while launching new and measurable models focused on advancing equality, racial justice and economic empowerment. While based in and focused on Audible's corporate hometown of Newark, the Center's mission will encompass Audible locations in 14 cities around the world and include programs and policy initiatives that can be adopted in cities globally.
Aisha Glover, currently CEO of the Newark Alliance, will step down from that role to join Audible as vice president of Urban Innovation, reporting to Abhinav Mathur, senior vice president, Center for Urban Development. In her role, Glover will help establish the strategic direction of the Global Center for Urban Development and will lead a team dedicated to advancing equitable economic development solutions in cities worldwide.
The new Center for Urban Development will report into Audible Founder and Executive Chairman, Don Katz. "At a time of unprecedented crisis, Newark's historic comeback is dependent on continued support from companies, philanthropies and governments working together. We believe all members of society – with strong companies like Audible and other scaled corporations leading the way – must commit to meaningful support for innovation and investment, focused on civic and social change that addresses the underlying causes of structural inequality," Katz said. "With the Global Center for Urban Development, Audible aims to draw upon global best practices, cutting-edge analysis and elite talent to amplify its impact in Newark and beyond by establishing new paradigms that advance equitable development in cities everywhere. The Center has been specifically designed to partner more deeply with government, community organizations and corporate partners to coalesce around new and legacy programs that work at scale."
A seasoned economic impact executive, Aisha Glover has a proven track record of spearheading equitable economic development programs throughout the region. She has more than 15 years of experience as an agent for economic empowerment and social justice. At the Newark Alliance, she worked closely with Mayor Ras Baraka to push for inclusive economic growth, helping to align dozens of corporations and private institutions with Newark's needs, attracting billions of dollars in real estate development, and advancing citywide economic empowerment initiatives, including workforce training and women entrepreneurship programs.
"Aisha Glover's commitment to and success in improving the lives of the people of Newark makes her uniquely suited to help carry out the vision of our Global Center for Urban Development," continued Katz. "Aisha's experience bringing together public, private and community-based organizations to create and sustain equitable economic development will be critical as we double down on our efforts on behalf of the city we call home, and other communities in which Audible operates. Aisha's leadership of this new Global Center, along with Abhinav Mathur – a truly visionary executive who has led some of our most important efforts to be an inventive company that pursues meaning and purpose – is very exciting indeed."
"I commend Audible for embracing its role in Newark, advancing its economic and social impact and investing in and launching initiatives that are aligned with my vision for an inclusive and equitable city," said Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka. "Aisha is the perfect leader to continue this work from within Audible on behalf of the City's residents and small businesses. We need all corporations to take an active role in helping to accelerate our recovery."
"We are at a critical juncture in Newark and in many cities around the world. We've seen how corporations are beginning to step in to fill the gaps to help drive equity, and with Audible's leadership and backing, the Global Center for Urban Development will be at the forefront to create a new type of urbanism," Glover said. "My commitment to developing deep community, corporate and government partnerships have generated strong results for Newark, and I am energized to bring similar innovative and inclusive solutions to bear in Newark that not only help the city recover, but ensure that it thrives."
Under Glover's leadership, the Alliance and its corporate and institutional membership base has advanced a Hire Buy Live initiative, helping over 2,020 Newarkers secure employment within these institutions, increased local procurement spend with small businesses, and expanded opportunities for homeownership and relocation into the city. Prior to leading the Newark Alliance, Glover served as the President & CEO of the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation, where she oversaw efforts to attract real estate development, businesses and more than $3B in development funds to Newark, leading the city to be shortlisted for Amazon's second headquarters. Glover also served as the Vice President of External Affairs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, where she led strategic partnership development, community engagement, public affairs and fundraising to help establish Navy Yard as a global model for urban industrial development.
