(Updated from The New Solar Electric Home - The Complete Guide to Photovoltaics for Your Home, 3rd Edition, 2008, by Joel Davidson and Fran Orner with our sincere thanks to Christina Bych)
PV has evolved from a scientific curiosity to a reliable power source for orbiting satellites and space stations to cost-effective power for remote homes and villages and to renewable energy distributed generation in cities and towns around the world. PV use will continue to rise rapidly as the need to replace fossil fuel and nuclear power plants becomes increasingly critical. The change to PV will accelerate as new materials and production methods come on-line. As more people understand how easy, practical and rewarding it is to use PV, electric utilities will find ways to integrate privately owned PV into the grid power mix. PV is already becoming an important addition to utility companies' portfolios.
Building Integrated PV (BIPV) will become commonplace. Today, megawatts of PV roofs, curtain walls and power generating windows are being built. PV shade structures and carports are turning parking lots into solar power plants. Tomorrow, BIPV and PV shade structures, which are simply PV arrays with long legs, will be deployed on polluted urban wasteland as part of the "brownfields" cleanup process.
In the not-to-distant future - less than 10 years if we focus our resources on peace and plenty instead of war and waste - buildings will be rated either net energy consumers or producers. Older, high density, multi-story buildings like skyscrapers and inner-city hospitals with limited roof space or inadequate solar access will continue to be net energy consumers while new buildings will be designed to produce all the energy they consume. Low energy use buildings like warehouses will have PV roofs that produce excess electricity for sale for credit or directly to their neighbors.
Homes in the future will be super energy efficient and have PV roofs to provide all the home's electricity plus power for the homeowner's electric (EV) or hydrogen fuel cell automobile. PV modules are already available in many shapes, sizes and colors to fit any building application. Mounting hardware is already more user-friendly. Building-integrated mounting and wiring will be inconspicuous. Multi-purpose inverters that operate with or without batteries will allow you to choose battery backup now, later, or not at all and back-up power will be stored as hydrogen and utilized through fuel cells. PV on home, garages and carports will charge EVs and solar power stored in EV batteries will be fed back into the utility grid to reduce the need for polluting, inefficient fossil fuel peaker plants.
Electric service panels will be made solar-ready with built-in connections and circuit breakers for on-site power production. Electricians and tradespeople are learning how to install PV just as they learned to install heating and air condition units a few decades ago. Someday all electricians will be as familiar with PV as they are with lighting equipment.
PV will change the way people think about energy production. Most of us are already concerned about continuously increasing consumption, power plant pollution, diminishing energy resources and buying oil and gas from nations that harbor terrorists. On-site PV equipment costs are now included in homeowner's mortgage payments in lieu of paying a separate monthly electric bill. Mortgage-financed PV is already cheaper in many places than utility power. In Asia, Europe and the United States every year hundreds of thousands of people buy PV for their homes, schools and businesses for economic and environmental reasons. This trend is expanding throughout the world.
In the future, politicians will be required to provide energy solutions that reduce the threat of war, improve the environment, and enhance individual freedom. Individuals and corporations will be held responsible for the energy resources they consume and the health and environmental impacts of their actions. PV will help everyone to meet these goals.
On-site PV use will grow by thousands of megawatts every year. Large-scale centralized PV power plants will still be required to power urban areas that house over 50% of world population, but plans are on the drawing board for a global network of PV arrays that will feed into a global electric grid. The Genesis Project is one such plan. Genesis, which stands for Global Energy Network Equipped with Solar cells and International Superconductor grids, is the brainchild of Dr. Yukinori Kuwano, one PV's most innovative scientists and founder of Sanyo's PV division. His 200-year plan is to make PV the planet's prime energy source. (1)
The Genesis Project is not science fiction. A look at Earth from space shows that rainy and cloudy areas cover less than 30% of the total land mass and that it is always daylight on one side of the globe. A global PV power grid connected by super-conducting cables would enable daylight areas to provide clean solar energy around-the-clock. Super-conducting cables are practical today and plans are to increase their use. (2)
When Dr. Kuwano first proposed the Genesis Project, global energy demands were the equivalent of 14 billion barrels of crude oil per year. About 4% of the world's desert area (800 km square) covered with 10% efficient solar cells could meet this requirement.
Is a global PV grid possible? People who install PV power generation systems on their grid-connected homes and businesses are building the global PV network right now. As this trend grows, national networks will then be connected by superconductor cables now in development.
The United States, Canada and parts of Mexico are already interconnected as are the electric power grids of some European countries. The "Silk Road Genesis," proposed by the Tokyu Construction Company, calls for the construction of PV power plants along that ancient trade route. The first stage of the project, which now includes the support of Sanyo and other companies, involves building over a hundred 100-megawatt PV plants along the Silk Road by 2030.
Desertec is another large scale project aimed at creating a global renewable energy plan based on the concept of harnessing sustainable power from sites where renewable sources of energy are more abundant and transferring it through high-voltage direct current transmission to consumption centers in north Africa and Europe. All kinds of renewable energy sources are envisioned, but the sun-rich deserts of the world play a special role. (3)
Even if it takes 50 years for a global electric grid to materialize, hundreds of megawatts of PV are already connected to local and regional grids while hundreds of thousands of households in developing countries are getting their first electricity from PV each year.
While you were reading this short chapter, more than 300 kilowatts or about 30,000 square feet of PV were installed. In 2013, over 4,220,000 watts (4.22 megawatts) of PV were installed every hour (4). We hope you will join the PV Revolution and go solar now.

Lost in Space
Whilst working on our current project which is top secret so don't ask me to tell you anything, I found myself developing a nostalgia for all things space retro and Sci-Fi. In particular I couldn't stop thinking about Lost in Space (the original), Star Trek, and this really great comic I've been reading called Tales of the Fear Agent. I was so excited I couldn't help myself, so in the spirit of inspired fan art I took pen to paper and drew up a little JTTC Sci-Fi scene.
Top secret space themed project to be revealed immanently padawan, I promise.

Fujifilm V10 Operation
Fujifilm V10 Operation
For size reasons, the Fujifilm V10 does away with a mode dial, but operating the camera is a lot easier than I expected. In fact, switching through menus and changing options was not difficult especially if you make liberal use of the F Photo Mode button which allows you to adjust basic photo settings such as image size, ISO, and color. I just wish Fujifilm had let you access the various Scene Modes through the F Photo Mode button rather than via the Menu button on the back. It would have saved a lot of time rather than having to switch back and forth between the various buttons to adjust the basics. Since the buttons on back have been reduced in size to make way for the giant screen, they take some getting used to. Much better for someone with small fingers. Users familiar with typical digicam features and nomenclature (especially Fujifilm's models) should be able to operate the camera straight out of the box, referring to the manual only for more specific details. Even novice users should need less than an hour of studying the manual and playing with the Fujifilm V10 to become familiar with its main features.
Record Mode LCD Screens
Playback Mode LCD Screens
Fujifilm V10 Modes and Menus
Record Mode: Indicated by an icon on a red background at the top left of the Fujifilm V10's LCD display (unless the display is in image only mode), this mode allows the camera to capture images. Exposure modes include Scene Program, Auto, Manual, and Movie (Manual mode does not allow user control of shutter speed or aperture). Pressing the Menu button displays the following options (not all options are available in all modes):
Shooting Mode: Selects from the available Shooting modes: Manual, Auto, Natural Light, Natural Light & with Flash, Portrait, Landscape, Sport, and Night
- Exposure Compensation: Allows for +/- 2.0EV of exposure compensation from the metered exposure, in steps of 1/3EV.
- White Balance: Sets the white balance to Auto, Custom (manual setting), Fine, Shade, Fluorescent Light-1, Fluorescent Light-2, Fluorescent Light-3, or Incandescent.
- High-Speed Shooting: Increases autofocus speed. Battery life will be reduced when this is set to On.
- Continuous Shooting: Modes include Off, Top 3 (shoots and saves 3 frames), Final 3 (shoot up to 40 frames, camera saves last 3), or Long-period continuous (the camera shoots and saves up to 40 frames).
- AF Mode: Sets the autofocus mode to Center or Multi.
- Set-Up: Allows user to activate Setup Menu (see below).
- Setup Menu: Accessed from the Set-Up option in all Record or Playback menus (but not the Photo Mode or DPOF menus), the Setup menu offers the following options:
Image Display: Turns the post-capture image review screen off, or sets it to a duration of 1.5 or 3 seconds. Also can set Zoom, where the center of the focusing position is shown enlarged.
- Shutter Volume: Adjusts the volume of the shutter noise in three steps, or disables it altogether.
- Beep Volume: Adjusts the volume of the camera's operating sounds in three steps, or disables it altogether.
- Playback Volume: Calls up the Playback volume menu, where you can disable playback sound altogether, or set the volume in ten arbitrary steps from 1 to 10.
- Frame Number: Renews frame numbering with each new memory card, or continues numbering from card to card.
- LCD Brightness: Calls up the LCD Brightness menu, where you can set LCD brightness to the default, or adjust it in arbitrary steps from -5 to +5. This adjustment is separate from the Record-mode LCD brightness adjustment option, so the effect of the two is added together.
Digital Zoom: Enables or disables the camera's 5.7x digital zoom. If enabled, the camera will pause when crossing the boundary at which the optical zoom is at full telephoto and the digital zoom is enabled. You must let go of the zoom rocker briefly and then press it again to continue from the optical to digital zoom, or vice versa.
- Auto Power Off: Turns the power save option off, or sets it to shut down the camera after two or five minutes of inactivity.
- LCD Power Save: When enabled, dims the camera's backlights after ten seconds of inactivity, to save power. (A nice feature.)
- Format: Formats the xD-Picture Card, which erases all files, regardless of whether they've been "protected" via the Playback menu.
- Date/Time: Sets the camera's internal clock and calendar.
- Time Difference: Allows a second date/time setting for another time zone.
Language: Sets the menu language to English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, or Japanese.
- Background Color: Lets you select the color scheme for the camera's menus, with options being light / dark blue, light / dark purple, light / dark pink, light / dark orange, light / dark green, and grey / black.
- USB Mode: Sets the USB mode to PictBridge (Direct Printing) or DSC (Storage device).
- Video System: Sets the video output signal timing to match either the NTSC or PAL standard. (NTSC for the US and Japan, PAL for Europe.)
- Reset: Resets all camera settings to their defaults.
Playback Mode: Indicated by an icon on a blue/green background at the top left of the Fujifilm V10's LCD display (unless the display is in image only or thumbnail mode). Here, you can review captured images and movies, as well as manage files and set up images for printing. Pressing the Menu button displays the following options:
Erase: Deletes the current frame or all frames.
- Image Rotate: Calls up the Image Rotate menu, where you can rotate the image clockwise (Down arrow) or anti-clockwise (Up arrow) in 90-degree increments. The OK button saves the change, or the Back button cancels.
- Print Order (DPOF): Sets the current DPOF order for printing, with or without dates, or resets the current DPOF order.
- Protect: Write-protects the displayed image, preventing it from being accidentally erased or manipulated (except via card formatting). Also removes protection, and offers options to protect or unprotect all images on the card.
- Playback: Enables an automated slideshow of captured images on the memory card, with options for different image durations and transitions.
- Game: Allows you to choose from four video games: Number Puzzle, Block Buster, Maze and Shooting Game.
- Voice Memo: Allows you to record a 30 second audio clip to accompany the current image. The OK button starts and stops recording; the Back button restarts recording when it is under way, and cancels recording if you have not yet started it.
Trimming: Allows you to crop a portion from the current image using the same controls as the Playback zoom function, and save it as a new file.
- Set-Up: Allows you to access the Setup Menu.

Microsoft Flight Simulator's virtual world is getting a gorgeous new update, making the game's Nordic region more beautiful than ever. World Update 5: Nordics for Asobo Studio's flight sim gives some love and attention to landmarks and airports across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The update is free and available now.
Microsoft says that World Update 5 includes improvements in detail to "broad swaths of landscapes, enhancements to regional architecture, improved data for 100 airports and 78 carefully selected points of interest." As seen in the gameplay trailer above, those points of interest include Lego House, Frederiksborg Castle, and the city of Copenhagen in Denmark; Uddevalla Bridge, Avicii Arena, and Sarek National Park in Sweden; Olavinlinna and the city of Helsinki in Finland; Flakstad, the Arctic Cathedral, and Holmenkollbakken in Norway; and Hallgrímskirkja, Jökulsárlón, and Hvítserkur in Iceland. Not shown: how much I'd really like to visit any of those places in real life right now.
Local airports — Denmark's Bornholm, Iceland's Ísafjörður, Sweden's Stockholm Arlanda, Norway's Svalbard, and Finland's Vaasa — have all been "carefully replicated by hand for maximum realism," Asobo Studio said in a post on the Microsoft Flight Simulator website, which names every new point of interest. The update also includes localization in Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now on Windows PC and is coming to Xbox Series X on July 27. A Top Gun-themed expansion for the game is planned for later this year.

The Reduction of Culture: creating South Asian spaces at Tufts
"Hopefully one day we'll have more specificity in South Asian groups on campus, but I'm glad we have what we do have," remarked Meha Elhence, one of the three captains of the Tufts JumboRaas dance team.
The specificity that Elhence speaks of points to the myriad of distinct cultures within South Asia, each with their own customs, traditions, and practices. However, despite its immense diversity, South Asia is often portrayed homogenously in mainstream representations of the region. This ubiquitous flattening of South Asia is both reflected and actively combatted by the different South Asian spaces on campus as they foster communities that hope to reflect a full, truthful image of South Asian identities.
Ayesha Jalal, a professor in the History Department at Tufts and the director of the Center for South Asian and Indian Ocean Studies, points to the region's recent colonial history when explaining the reduction of South Asian identities that is typically observed in the United States.
"I think you'll find anywhere, not just at Tufts, that when you think of South Asia you think of India, and when you think of India you think of Hinduism, and when you think of Hinduism you think of the Vedas," he said. "The point is that the reduction is there, especially in this country, because South Asia is India."
As Jalal suggests, equating South Asia to India results in a narrow and often inaccurate interpretation of what it means of be brown. This limited understanding leaves little room for non-Indian South Asians such as Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans to exist and be recognized in America. However, as JT Mann, a sophomore of Punjabi-Sikh origin on the Tufts Bhangra team, points out, this omission not only erases non-Indian South Asians, but also flattens India itself. "You're turning 1.3 billion people with hundreds of different cultures into one people, which isn't true," he said.
Mann points specifically to his experience on the Tufts Bhangra team to explain the importance of understanding the distinction between cultures within India, and how the American understanding of South Asia can result in the loss of entire cultures all together. While the Tufts Bhangra team is referred to as one of the four "South Asian dance teams" on campus, Mann explained that the dance form is specific to Punjab, a predominately Sikh region within India. "I've always thought of it as a Sikh-Punjabi cultural component," he said. However, as the only Sikh-Punjabi on the team, Mann has often felt disappointed by the loss of the dance's cultural significance at Tufts.
"It's a fine line because it is a dance team on a college campus so people go to it to dance, but there are cultural components," he stated. He mentioned the turbans worn by the team as an example. "The people who were dancing wore turbans because they were Sikh, and yet not everyone knows why you wear a turban," he explained. Mann went on to express the complicated burden he bears as the only Sikh on the team, saying at times he feels like it's hard for him as a Sikh person to explain to other members the significance of wearing turbans.
While Mann praised his team's captains for their attempts to create a dialogue surrounding the meaning of the dance, he also acknowledged the limitations of these attempts. Despite the captains' best efforts of relaying the cultural significance of Bhangra to the team, Mann pointed out the key distinction between being raised within a culture and learning it later in life from the outside.
"Even if you have learned the culture, it's a different experience from being in the culture and having grown up with it," he said. "I think our captains were really good about telling us what certain moves mean, but I think a lot of the times it wasn't them knowing it; rather it was them translating a culture that they had learned themselves."
However, this critique, as Mann suggests, is separate from the concerns often voiced about people of non-South Asian descent being on the team. "If you really want to boil it down, not all South Asian people are even of the same culture, so it's not like it's even a South Asian dance team." And yet at Tufts, Bhangra is viewed as exactly that: one of the four South Asian dance teams on campus. In Mann's view, this imprecise labeling is indicative of a "bigger problem of South Asian community."
Elhence, on the other hand, had come to view the style of JumboRaas as completely distinct from the traditionally Gujrati dance form of Garba and Raas that the team is modeled on. Elhence explained that while Raas is traditionally a Gujarati dance performed at festivals and weddings, the way in which it is performed in competitive college circuits is extremely different. The focus on technique has made it so that "the choreography you see at a Raas competition you would never see at a social Garba or in India." In this way, Elhence explained that the type of dance JumboRaas performs is an evolved style that has become specific to Indian-Americans.
While both Mann and Elhence spoke fondly of the South Asian community they have gained through their involvement with their respective dance groups, this community is contingent on performance and skill. For South Asians at Tufts who are looking for a space that is not social or performance based, South Asian Perspectives and Conversations, commonly referred to as SAPAC, offers a politically minded South Asian space. Iris Oliver, a senior at Tufts and a member of SAPAC's executive board, explained the significance of having a non-performance based South Asian presence on campus. From her perspective, the dominance of South Asian dance teams coupled with the Tufts Association for South Asians' annual culture show creates a "perception a lot of people have of what brown people at Tufts do." Oliver said that "bringing another side of that has been important. Also, for me at least, it has been a really good source of community within the members of the club, and I think it's nice because you don't have to be good at dancing or xyz to join."
SAPAC has consciously focused on highlighting other regions of South Asia in order to bring awareness to narratives that are often overshadowed by the extreme emphasis placed on India. Two years ago, the SAPAC e-board was a majority non-Indian South Asians, which Oliver noted was "pretty exciting because that never really happens." She also mentioned that the presidents of SAPAC last year were Sri Lankan and Pakistani and that this leadership shaped a lot of the club's discussions and focus. When discussing the perceptions of South Asia today and SAPAC's role in deconstructing these, Oliver said, "it just ties back to if you look a certain way then that's who you are and White people never really get put into one monolith. That might be obvious but I think it's frustrating when people do that so we try as much as we can to be like, 'No, that's not what it is.'"
When it comes to the seeming difficulty of creating South Asian spaces on campus that maintain the diversity and nuances of South Asia itself, Professor Jalal provided some insight.
"This whole business of diversity can't be maintained if you have certain kinds of attitudes," he said. "One attitude says that this diversity needs to be tolerated, the other says that diversity is a God-given reality–when you do that you have no choice but to accommodate it."

So your sales tool has A/B testing for email. Great news! You're going to have the perfect email every time right? Not exactly. A/B testing effectively requires some knowledge of the process before it can be leveraged effectively. Scientists didn't cure Polio just because they had the right chemistry set, after all — they knew the process.
So what do you need to know before you start testing? To begin, every A/B test requires two things:
- One clear goal. What are you testing?
- One metric. How are you measuring success?
One Clear Goal
Effective A/B testing is all about limiting your variables. With one clear goal, you can be confident that the variance in results you are seeing is the result of what you are testing.
For example, if you were comparing sending your email at two different time of day, you'd want to keep the body of the email the same. If you send at two different times and with two different subject lines, it will be hard to tell which change caused the variations in performance.
One Metric
Once you figure out what you're going to test, you need to figure out how you'll measure success. While there are numerous email metrics you can track, the three most accessible and easy are:
- Open Rate — How many people opened each variation?
- Reply Rate — How many people replied to each variation?
- Click-Through Rate — How many people clicked the links in each variation?
While sometimes your choice of metric will be obvious, such as "which subject line gets the most opens," other times, your test could apply to all three metrics. In these cases, it's more important to be more consistent with what you measure across your tests than it is to pick the perfect metric.
So what should you be testing? Here are ten ideas to get you started!
Day of the Week
We've all felt the ebbs and flows throughout the work week, and it's no different for your prospects. Test which days of the week your prospects are most responsive so you know you're reaching out at the best time.
Time of Day
Most people answer emails in bulk at different points of the day. Delivering your email during these active periods to ensure it's at the top of their inbox is crucial to getting opens and engagement.
Subject Line
You don't get a second chance at a first impression, and your subject line is the first impression of your email. Make sure you understand which subject lines work best. Short? Long? Personal? Emotional? Test them all!
It seems like a tiny aspect, but even the capitalization of your subject line matters. Capitalizing the first letter of every word can feel formal, while sentence case can have a more conversational feel. Figure out which one your audience responds to best.
Faux Forwards
Using a "FW:" in your subject line can be a clever way to get your audience to notice your emails. Test the open rate and see if it works for your audience.
Personal Language
Does your audience prefer language focused on the department or company they work for, or language focused on them as individuals? Do a little research on them and try both styles out.
Dynamic Tags
Dynamic tags can be a great way to insert personalization into an email with little to no effort. Test out using the prospects first name or company name in emails, and see if it improves performance.
Opening Line
Most of the time, the first line of the body of your email will show in a person's inbox. Have you given any thought to what that opening line says and how it sets the tone for the rest of the conversation?
Message Length
Every audience prefers a different length of email. Some people are busy and need to skim a brief bullet list, while others want to dive deep into the details. You should be testing both.
Call to Action
What are you asking your audience to do at the end of your emails? How you ask and what you're asking for can dramatically change results of your click-through rate.

Mobile Application in Saudi Arabia could be a term associated with the application program developing of little and portable gadgets like excellent mobile phones, tablets, personal electronic staff and electronic business manager. These programs or programs are either put in within the device throughout the generating method by the generating company, downloadable by the customer itself from the various application program submission organizations or web programs. The improving demand for services for improved effectiveness in mobile phones have born to extreme increasing vary of advanced technological innovation for custom therefore the apace increasing class of excellent mobile phones. The personalized or personalized development for excellent mobile phones could be an answer to any or all customer requirements for improved performance of their hand-held gadgets.
Not so easy
There's no question that mobile is here to stay. In the past, many creating nations missed land lines and went directly to mobile, but now, many customers with designed mobile infrastructures are missing mobile function mobile phones and going directly to mobile phones. All this is occurring as system rates of speed choose up, yet providers are still slowed down by frustrating traffic pushing new programs that restrict information utilization. We used to have endless information but now most programs have information restrict limits, so consider yourself fortunate if you can be grandfathered in with an endless information plan.
Effective techniques
That probably won't last for lengthy though. Furthermore the smart phone gadgets themselves keep improve their own abilities not only in processer, storage, and type aspect (now bigger screens), but also in the operating-system which keep add more functions that designers can accessibility and implement in their programs. Hence, we have a flowing impact where programs are also getting complexness on top of more highly effective techniques, not only on the product part but also the server part. This is all great information for end customers that are on the go, and can do more and more on the street without having to go to the office. The "work at home" or telecommuting design has now become the "work on the road" design where you can perform just about anywhere provided that you have your cell phone.
Different Mobile Application in Saudi Arabia may preinstall some features or applications in the product with minor variations that your program may communicate with resulting in another varying. At present, Mobile Application in Saudi Arabia shown them as the innovator in the market and is approved by the public.

'Social Butterflies', 'Working Professionals', 'Gamers', and 'Everything Tech' are the most connected consumer groups in the UK, according to new research.
With consumers increasingly connecting with brands whilst on the move across multiple devices, new research released by Experian has pinpointed four distinct types of consumer who are Always On and more digitally connected than ever before.
Key findings from the research highlight that:
• The Social Butterfly is at least three times more likely to access social networks across every connected device
• The Working Professional is 80 per cent less likely to want to receive adverts to their mobile
• No longer restricted to consoles, Gamers are more likely than average to game on 7 out of 8 game-enabled devices
• 60 per cent of Everything Tech consumers have purchased a product advertised to them on their mobile
Experian's research, from the Simmons national consumer survey, explores the platform and device preferences, media consumption habits and the online and offline behaviours of the global phenomenon of the Always On consumer. Drawn from the US, which has the highest penetration of internet users in the world at 79 per cent[1], the insight highlights how brands need to evolve their marketing strategies to engage customers based on their platform choices and preferences to deliver co-ordinated and consistent customer experiences regardless of channel. Importantly, it also highlights that while they may all be super-connected, Always On consumers are distinct and different and so need to be engaged on an individual basis.
The four key Always On consumer types in detail are:
The Social Butterfly is a young female about town aged 18-34, who spends most of her spare time socialising with friends or enjoying leisure activities. She uses technology for social networking, sharing and social shopping.
• Social Butterflies have the highest levels of overall connectivity of all the Always On consumer types. On-the-go devices are particularly popular – they are 70 more likely to use a digital tablet, 48 per cent more likely to use e-readers and 60 per cent more likely to use an MP3 player than the average consumer.
• But the real draw is social networks and the need to constantly keep in touch with their friends. They are three times more likely to access social networks across every connected device.
• Mobile is crucial to them and they are almost five times more likely to access social networks via their mobile. In addition they are three and a half times as likely to check their emails and almost four times more likely to consume news on their mobiles compared to the average consumer.
• Social networks also act as their main source of retail information. Social Butterflies are 3.5 times more likely to purchase something seen on a social network and four times more likely to purchase something recommended by peers in this environment. They are also twice as likely to purchase products they see advertised to their mobile phone.
• However, Social Butterflies are twice as likely to post a review online and three times more likely than the national average to talk about a purchase on a social network.
The Working Professional is a career focused individual (usually male aged 35-44), accessing content on-the-go primarily for work purposes. They use technology to stay connected and informed, keep in touch and get the job done.
• Working Professionals are highly connected across mobile, tablets, MP3 players and above all work computers. They are 84 per cent more likely than average to use a work computer– the highest figure across any of the Always On consumer types.
• Work computers are widely used for most online activities apart from gaming and social media: they are twice as likely to email and almost three times more likely to use messaging functionality from their work computers. They are also twice as likely to also use this device for listening to music, reading news and streaming or downloading video – a reflection of their long working hours.
• Mobile phones are also central to the Working Professional's life: They are three times more likely to see the importance of having Internet access when on the go, and over twice as likely to say their phone should help them get their work done when and where they want. Like The Social Butterfly they are voracious consumers of news on their mobiles, being four times more likely to read the news and three times more likely to send emails from their mobile than average.
• However, they are not the biggest users of social networks, nor are they as open to social media or advertising on their mobiles. Despite being highly connected consumers, they are 80 per cent less likely to want to receive adverts on their phone, almost 40 per cent less likely to follow favourite brands or companies on social sharing/networking sites and almost 50 per cent less likely to purchase products they see advertised on such sites. Yet 32 per cent say they would be interested in services that let them use their phone to make purchases in a store; they're more than twice to be interested in this than the average consumer.
The Gamer is a young single male aged 18 to 24 with a love of gaming via almost any game enabled device, the most popular being gaming consoles and mobile phones.
• This type is more likely than average to play games on 7 out of 8 game-enabled devices including mobile phones, digital tablets, MP3 players and even work computers. They are 89 per cent more likely than average to say that they play games on their work computer at least once a week.
• Traditional media use is below average across the board – they're 2 per cent less likely to watch TV and listen to the radio, 7 per cent less likely to read a newspaper and 9 per cent less likely to read magazines – the lowest of all the groups.
• Although they are 90 per cent more likely to purchase a product advertised on their mobile than average, generally Gamers are less interested in receiving advertising content to their mobile devices. Only 9.7 per cent of Gamers would opt into receiving ads on their mobile phones, a percentage that rises to 21 per cent if an incentive is attached.
• However, this isn't symptomatic of their opinions on advertising as this group is the least likely of all four consumer types to see advertising as annoying or a waste of time. Peer recommendation and celebrity endorsement is more important to Gamers – this group is 60 per cent more likely to buy a product because a celebrity uses it.
The Everything Tech is aged 18 to 34 and likes to be the first to try new things, from the newest bar to the hottest gadget. Tablets are the device of choice, most often used for steaming and downloading video.
• Accessing content on the go is extremely important for this type – and nothing allows them to do this more than digital tablets. Everything Tech consumers are 63 per cent more likely to have used a tablet recently. The content of choice for this group is video – whether it's catching up on their latest TV programmes, streaming films or accessing live content, Everything Tech consumers have streamed video content across all internet-enabled devices on a regular basis.
• Of all types, mobile devices have the strongest influence on Everything Tech's purchasing decisions – this group are almost ten times more likely to be interested in receiving ads on their devices. 60 per cent of Everything Tech consumers purchase a product they see advertised on their device, with 64 per cent willing to accept adverts on their device if they were to receive something of value in exchange. Brand loyalty falls lowest with this group, and they are four times more likely to switch mobile phone service providers if they can offer the latest handsets and technology.
• Peer recommendation is extremely important to them. Everything Tech consumers are nearly six times more likely to trust the product information they get from social networks over other sources. Advertisements and recommendations within social networks are very influential with this group – they are six times more likely to purchase products they see advertised through these channels, and are over three times more likely to purchase products that their friends and peers have recommended.
Nigel Wilson, Managing Director, Data & Analytics, Experian Marketing Services explains: "As our insight highlights, over the past decade, the advent of social media, the proliferation of smartphones, tablets and other new connected devices, and access to limitless data regardless of location have led to the emergence of the Always On, connected consumer.
"This consumer really is a global phenomenon, equally likely to be found in New York, Nottingham or Sao Paulo. More and more of us are Always On through one device or another. Being able to interact and consume content seamlessly across various platforms is now the expectation. The rise of this consumer raises the game for marketers and brands and their marketing must evolve to become truly cross-channel. To do this marketers need to really understand and gain deep insight on their audiences, use this insight to create meaningful and relevant communications and then interact with them intelligently and consistently every single time, regardless of channel."
Methodology – data collection process
Research data comes primarily Simmons National Consumer Study US (Spring 2012), a syndicated, national study with a probability sample survey that measures over 60,000 consumer elements, including demographics, lifestyles, attitudes, media habits, brand preferences and more. Cross-channel insights come from Simmons Connect, which is collected via the same base of respondents and via the same survey instrument.

Joe Vellano, former Terps DL, signs with Patriots as undrafted free agent - baltimoresun.com
Great to see Joe land with a good team like the Pats. If I was a player who didn't get drafted, you have to be happy with the opportunity to work with someone like Belichick. Hope it works out.
Antonio Barton says Maryland is one of a few programs he's seriously considering - baltimoresun.com
I personally would like to have Barton more than Eli Carter. Barton is a guard, can play the 1, but can also score at the 2. He's a decent 3-point shooter and would bring some needed depth to the 1 & 2 guard positions. Carter on the other hand is much more of a wing, where I think we have a log jam, and as Ben B. pointed out yesterday, Carter is Stoglin-esque in his shooting. He'll get you points but he has to put up a ton of shots to get 'em. Give me Barton, please. He's also a Baltimore guy, which is always a good thing to have on your roster. Love that Nick is recruiting him too.
After blistering start to open season, Terps can't find dominant scorer, identity in late swoon - The Diamondback : Men's Lacrosse
The Men's Lax team has had a pretty good season, but their recent struggles on offense are coming at a bad time. Hopefully they can get things together before the NCAAs.
Maryland drops out of top five of latest RPI list for second time in three weeks - baltimoresun.com
Speaking of the NCAA tourney, Maryland dropped out of the top 5 in the RPI after their loss to UVA. We'll see how big of an impact that has on their seeding when the 16-team tourney bracket is unveiled on Sunday at 9:00 PM.

Not directly related to Maryland, but arguably one of the bigger sports stories of the last decade or so. It's worth a read, if you haven't done so already.

New Brunswick International Sculpture Symposium 2016 was awarded $20,000 for the delivery of an educational program in conjunction with the 6 week creation component of the sculpture symposium. Building on the work done in 2014, Sculpture Saint John, Executive Director, Diana Alexander stated that education was the core of the symposium. Programming included professional sessions for the artists, elementary, middle and high school tours, a mentorship program of six interns, an interpretation centre, guided walking tours, brochures, maps and assorted workshops in metal, bronze, clay, wood and stone.
Held on the waterfront of Saint John Harbour from August 4th to September 17th, 2016, the public was granted free admission to massive outdoor studio where 8 sculptures were created from New Brunswick granite.
Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation would like to acknowledge the generosity of the artists who not only worked on their creations, but gave countless hours to the education program associated with this open studio concept. Fetiye Boudevin, from France, Jim Boyd of Hampton, Julie Glaspy a New Brunswick artist now living in British Columbia, Janine Kortz-Waintrop from France, Alessio Ranaldi from Italy, Jesse Salisbury from the United States, Vasilis Vasili from Greece and Catherine Leva from France all inspired visitors and provided mentorship for 6 interns, Angus Boyd, Maggie Higgins, Mark Pitcher, Stu Ryan, Philip Savage, and Glenn Swanson.
30,000 visitors came to witness the evolution of boulders into pieces of public art that are destined for many New Brunswick communities. Generations of people will benefit from the legacy of artwork created during the symposium. This highly visible symposium has created a deeper understanding and appreciation of contemporary stone sculpting.
Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation salutes the staff, sponsors and volunteers for their vision and hard work in creating and sustaining this highly visible symposium.

After waiting a little for the morning rain to stop I started walking around the area close to my hotel and taking some pictures.
It is a mixture of high rises and of tiny shops on the streets.
One of the things that impressed me the most are all of the pedestrian walkways on top of the roads connecting all of the buildings… and every single building has shopping malls…
Met with Thomas for lunch – a friend from college who has been living here for the past two years. Had some great Chinese food.
Then went to the Peak – a viewing area – you take a tram all the way to the top – very steep gradient.
At the top I lost my wallet somehow… must have fallen from my camera bag or, less likely, someone took it. The local authorities were extremely helpful in trying to locate it and were kind enough to let me go down the tram without a ticket. Bummer… fortunately I did not have that much money inside and only one credit card. My Brazilian driver's license is gone so I will have to start walking around with my passport, which I hate doing…
I still have hope that they find it and call me giving the good news but I think it is really gone. Argh!!!
In any case, here are the pictures:

I am excited to announce that my first short story, Dandy Detects, is now available as an audio book on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes. I am trying a new narrator, Alexandra Haag, who I love, and I hope she will be able to do the rest of my work. But, ultimately it is the fans of the series who can tell me if Alexandra has captured the world of Annie Fuller, Nate Dawson, and the O'Farrell Street Boarding House.
The price for the audiobook is $3.95 (I don't set the price and I know this seems steep for a short story—but it is cheap for an audio book—and it has already been discounted on Amazon to $3.45).
To encourage you all to give it a try I am giving out a limited number of free coupons—just send me a message at email@example.com.

Updated on January 11, 2020Preface
The Korean Chemical Society (KCS), founded in 1946 as an academic organization, promotes research and education in the field of chemistry and related areas as an essential resource for the economic and social development in Korea. Advancement in chemical research can be achieved when all chemists associated with the Society respect and adhere to the ethical standards by which research is evaluated. It is important that the Society needs to establish the highest ethical standards in research for providing guidelines for conducting research and publishing high-quality scientific journals with responsibility.
All members of the Society must consent to and follow strict ethical guidelines documented for editors, authors, and reviewers. Chemists fulfill their responsibility to the Society when they understand and follow ethical guidelines. Experienced research chemists should accept the guidelines presented herein. We will remind all members of such significant matters, and it would be valuable to those who are relatively new to chemical research.
The Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society will be co-published with Wiley-VCH from 2015 towards. The online version of the Journal will thus be available on Wiley Online Library, Wiley(-VCH)'s global online platform.
KCS members can get a free online access to the Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society in WOL.
