Karachi, December 29, 2017: JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited has reaffirmed the entity ratings of Sindh Modaraba (SM) at 'A+/A-1' (Single A Plus/A-One). Outlook on the assigned ratings is 'Stable'. Previous rating action was announced on January 16, 2017. The assigned ratings reflect sound profile of the sponsor, Government of Sindh (GoS), which owns approximately 94.4% of SM's certificates through Sindh Modaraba Management Limited (SMML). The sponsor has depicted both technical and financial support in the past in the form of equity injection in SMML, which in turn provided interest free loan to SM. JCR-VIS expects sponsor support to continue in future. Ratings also incorporate sizeable growth exhibited in the financing portfolio during the period under review. Absence of non-performing loans (NPLs) on the books of the Modaraba indicates implementation of prudent underwriting practices. However, in view of the growth strategy pursued by the management, prevalence of sound underwriting practices is considered important from a ratings perspective. Diversification was witnessed in terms of sector-wise lending during the outgoing year. Management may focus on reducing client-wise concentration as portfolio growth progresses.Liquidity profile is supported by the presence of sizeable liquid assets in relation to total liabilities. Currently, the Modaraba has sufficient funds provided from the sponsor as outlined above. This has kept leverage indicators to minimal levels. Going forward, management may ensure that the same remain at manageable levels while pursuing growth targets.For further information on this rating announcement, please contact Javed Callea (Ext: 201) or the undersigned (Ext: 207) at 35311861-70 or fax to 35311872-3.Jamal Abbas ZaidiAdvisorApplicable Rating Criteria: Non-Bank Financial Companies (October 2017)http://jcrvis.com.pk/docs/NBFCs%20201710.pdf

Welcome to Exercise Sciences. Studying exercise sciences opens your mind to the magic of human movement and how the human body works and works-out.
You will discover how physical activity changes the human body as it grows and ages, and the impact that talent, damage and disease have on performance.
By understanding the structure and function of the human body and how we move and respond to exercise we can improve people's health, wellbeing and performance.
Whether they are recovering from illness or injury, or just trying to improve their performance, an understanding of the exercise sciences will equip you with the skills to make a significant difference to people's lives.
In exercise sciences you can study anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, movement neuroscience, sport and exercise psychology, exercise metabolism, exercise physiology and nutrition.
Our small class size mean more 1:1 contact time with staff, and greater opportunities to get to know your classmates. We also provide all first year students with access to weekly drop-in sessions where academic staff provide additional learning support and general guidance in adjusting to university life, study and exams.
We also offer students the opportunity to study with academic staff who are internationally recognised in their field and major contributors to ground-breaking research.
A Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Sciences is your passport to pursue a successful career where you are prescribing exercise as medicine. Our graduates can be found working in successful careers in allied health, sport science, personal fitness, commercial fitness, coaching and sustainable health.
Many of our students choose to continue their studies as we are unique in being able to offer Australasia's only internationally accredited postgraduate qualification – a Master of Science specialising in Clinical Exercise Physiology.
Clinical Exercise Physiology is a new allied health profession, supported in New Zealand by Clinical Exercise Physiology New Zealand, the Clinical Physiologists Registration Board and recognised by all New Zealand District Health Boards.
Take a closer look – join the Exercise Sciences family and the Faculty of Science whanau at the University of Auckland. We'll take good care of you!

National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center
The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. The building opened in December, 2003, and provides enough space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited on the National Mall. The two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts in the world.
The Center was named in honor of its major donor, and features the large Boeing Aviation Hangar in which aircraft are displayed on three levels. Visitors can walk among aircraft and small artifacts in display cases located on the floor, and view aircraft hanging from the arched ceiling on elevated skywalks. Many engines, helicopters, ultra-lights, and experimental flying machines are on display in a museum setting for the first time. Among the aviation artifacts on display are the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest jet in the world; the Boeing Dash 80, the prototype of the 707; the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay; and the deHavilland Chipmunk aerobatic airplane.
The James S. McDonnell Space Hangar opened in November 2004 and displays hundreds of famous spacecraft, rockets, satellites and space-related small artifacts. The centerpiece of the space hangar is the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Other space artifacts include the Gemini VII space capsule; the Mobile Quarantine Unit used upon the return of the Apollo 11 crew; and a Redstone rocket.

Gainesville, FL
this is incredible
"This is an incredible place. Seeing Enola Gay was amazing. They have a concord. a huge space and really great. Worth the money. Fantastic"
McLean, VA
Awesome facility!
"We just took a family trip out to the center and were amazed by the facility. I have a 4 year old son and he loved it. My 2 1/2 daughter did not get as much fun out of it but still hung in there. While it is free, the $15 parking is a little steep. Avoid the observation tower. Long line to get in on the weekend, and we were expecting air traffic control switches/buttons inside. Instead it is just a room. Only food option is McDonalds, but you can bring your own and still to eat."

By all accounts, Beyoncé killed it at Coachella on Saturday. She reunited with Destiny's Child, danced with Solange, sampled Nina Simone, and even gave a special shoutout to the organizer: "Thank you Coachella for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline. Ain't that 'bout a bitch?"
But it might be hard to find any unofficial pictures or videos from her performance. According to Page Six, Beyoncé's team has been trying to tightly control which photos of her get published, and because it's Beyoncé, they're probably going to pull it off. Per Page Six:
Page Six has learned that the superstar's publicist sent out an e-mail to news outlets Friday asking them not to publish fans' pictures of her hotly anticipated performance at Coachella—and to stick with the approved shots of Saturday's show instead.
It appears to be an attempt to prevent a replay of the situation after her 2013 Super Bowl halftime show, when her team famously e-mailed BuzzFeed asking the Web site to take down a series of "unflattering photos" from a gallery of her showstopping performance.
Which means you should definitely check out this clip of her performing with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams before it gets taken down.
Or, if you're extremely lucky, you can catch a replay of the performance streaming on Coachella's website here.

Rajasthan Palace and Deserts
15 Day's :
New Delhi - Agra - Fatehpur Sikri - Jaipur - Pushkar - Udaipur - Ranakpur - Jodhpur - Jaisalmer - Mumbai
If there is a state that deserves more than others a visit, it is indeed Rajasthan. You will find a mix of poor land and arid but beautiful desert interspersed with splendid palaces of Maharajas. Then, you will walk like in a dream because the unreal is everywhere. Nothing can compare to our origins. Land of art and history , trades, religions, migrations , everything is there to move you from the cities to the carved facades, to huge palaces often perched on high sandstone rocks which represent in themselves stunning and true technical prowess. This is certainly the famous Taj Mahal which will be for us the highlight of our trip, the wonder of the Indian world.
If the trip comes in November, we will probably attend the extraordinary festival of Pushkar. We will visit the colourful and fabled Camel fair, with many colours, smells, sensations, emotions. From sunrise to sunset, the atmosphere is unique, men wearing sumptuous turbans, and women their finest jewellery. They do their business of exchange at the gate of one of the rare temple dedicated to Lord Brahma in India. In addition to all this, we will be able to attend a music festival there and even some interesting interreligious presentations and discussions.
You can find something special in every city of Rajasthan, like Jaipur for its pink-coloured, palaces, Udaipur City of lake and forts for its beauty, Ranakpur for its Jain temples. As for Jodhpur, it represents a famous, almost ideal tourist destination in India because of its ancient castles, the magnificent Fort, the royal Palaces and most importantly the amazing Thar Desert which comes close to the city. Jodhpur is called the Sun City, as the town enjoys bright and sunny weather all the year. It is called the Blue City too, because of the blue-painted houses around the Fort in the old city. Of course, Jodhpur was located between two powerful rulers and enemies, the Mughals and the Marathas, hence it holds exciting ancient palaces and places, with a museum gathering elements of this history. Besides, if you want to admire a mixture of Havelies, Jain temples, wildlife and most important to be involved into an adventure with camels through the dunes, Jaiselmer is waiting for you.

Words to Set You Free John 7:33-9:41
Local History: (The Roman Empire and Israel)
Scriptures: (99vs)
But when it was now the midst of the feast [of Booths], Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
The Jews therefore marveled, saying,
"How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"Jesus therefore answered them,
"My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.The multitude answered,
"You have a demon!Jesus answered them,
"I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said,
"Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying,
"You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
But of the multitude, many believed in him.
They said,
"When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him,
and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Then Jesus said,
"I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.The Jews therefore said among themselves,
"Where will this man go that we won't find him?Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out,
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive.
For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said,
"This is truly the prophet."Others said,
"This is the Christ."But some said,
"What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them,
"Why didn't you bring him?"The officers answered,
"No man ever spoke like this man!"The Pharisees therefore answered them,
"You aren't also led astray, are you?Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"They answered him,
"Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee." [* Isa 9:1 * Matt 4:13]
Everyone went to his own house, but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst, they told him,
"Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.
But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger. [* Psa 8:3]
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them,
"He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. [* Dan 5:5]
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Jesus, standing up, saw her and said,
"Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"She said,
"No one, Lord."Jesus said,
"Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"I am the light of the world. [* Isa 60:1]The Pharisees therefore said to him,
"You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."Jesus answered them,
"Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.They said therefore to him,
"Where is your Father?"Jesus answered,
"You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jesus said therefore again to them,
"I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come."The Jews therefore said,
"Will he kill himself, that he says,He said to them,'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
"You are from beneath.They said therefore to him,
"Who are you?"Jesus said to them,
"Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Jesus therefore said to them,
"When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him,
"If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.They answered him,
"We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone.Jesus answered them,
"Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.They answered him,
"Our father is Abraham."Jesus said to them,
"If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.They said to him,
"We were not born of sexual immorality.Therefore Jesus said to them,
"If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.Then the Jews answered him,
"Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"Jesus answered,
"I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.Then the Jews said to him,
"Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say,Jesus answered,'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
"If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.The Jews therefore said to him,
"You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"Jesus said to them,
"Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Description of problem:
My laptop (Omnibook 800CT) has a 256 color display.
If vncviewer is pointed at a 24-bit colour session, it chooses bgr222
(which looks nasty) rather than bgr233 (which produces acceptable
results even if it sometimes makes me wish I had a better display)
Vnc version 3.3.6 used bgr233, and tightvnc 1.2.9-3.1 also uses bgr233
In version 4.0 there doesn't seem to be a command line option to force
bgr233 either.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start vncserver -depth 24 on machine A
2. run vncviewer on machine B to look at A
Actual Results: Too few colours (notably green instead of pale gray :-()
Expected Results: 256 colours, and no green tinge (as in earlier
Additional info:
Not running a wm (the laptop is meant to be a thin client)
This Xvnc option:
-pixelformat fmt set pixel format (rgbNNN or bgrNNN)
seems to do what you want.
I don't buy that. The server I'm connecting to (3.3.6) is running in 24 bit
mode, and it's man page says that bgr233 is the default:
-pixelformat format
Specify pixel format for server to use (BGRnnn or RGBnnn). The
default for depth 8 is BGR233 (meaning the most significant two
bits represent blue, the next three green, and the least signif-
icant three represent red), the default for depth 16 is RGB565
and for depth 24 is RGB888.
I need to select the pixel format in the viewer, not the server.
Having now checked, with vncserver version 4.0 using -pixelformat bgr233 forces
the server into 8bit mode (as opposed to setting a default for viewers).
I want the server to run in 24bpp so that when viewed from clients that can
handle it I get true colour.
This bug report is for the viewer: when viewing a 24bit session on a 256 colour
display it should either select bgr233 automatically (as tightvnc and older
versions of vnc do) or have an option to force bgr233.
So I'm reopening the bug.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.
Thank you!
Please, try to reproduce this bug with latest version in FC5
closing, fc3 isn't supported now

JERUSALEM—Harsh new economic measures against Hezbollah in Lebanon won't directly impact funding for the terrorist group, according to its leader. The stopgap U.S. measure against Hezbollah's use of the Lebanese banking system takes aim at funding sources including narco-trafficking and money laundering.
Dubbed the Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act, it was enacted by Congress at the end of 2015. In June, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said economic sanctions put in place by the United States to block income via Lebanese banks will have no impact on the true source of the group's money: Iran.
Since the start of the war in Syria in 2010, Hezbollah has become a growing regional threat as the military henchmen of Iran.
Hezbollah chief Nasrallah said in a widely publicized statement that Shiite Hezbollah's "budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, are from the Islamic Republic of Iran."
This is despite the fact that the Shiite group is part of Lebanon's government.
Nasrallah has also openly bragged about Hezbollah's contributions to the war in Syria. Last week, he announced that the group will send more fighters to Syria's Aleppo Province. The region has several fronts where Syrian rebels are up against pro-government forces. Aleppo Province is home to Syria's largest city, Aleppo.
Hezbollah, which claims to have sent thousands of fighters into the war and seen the loss of at least 1,000, has consistently supported pro-Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces during the course of the six-year civil war.
Nasrallah has described the fight for Aleppo and its province as the "greatest battle" of the Syrian war.
The U.S. government, which considers Hezbollah a terrorist group, has consistently worked to undermine it financially and diplomatically. In December, Congress voted to impose sanctions on banks that deal with Hezbollah. In June, a U.S. State Department annual report described the Iranian government as completely intertwined with global terrorism.
The State Department identified Iran as the world's "foremost state sponsor of terrorism" as it has numerous times in past years. According to the State Department, Iran finances, trains, and equips a number of armed groups, including Hezbollah, the government of Syrian President Assad, Palestinian militant groups including Hamas, and others.
Hezbollah has long been seen as a threat to U.S. interests, but experts are sounding an increasingly loud alarm about the group. The key complication is the war in Syria and potential fall of Assad, which would be akin to cutting off Iran's legs in the region by blocking the only land bridge between Iran and Lebanon: Syria.
During March 2016 congressional hearings on the growing threat of Hezbollah, Tony Badran said as much, bluntly. Badran is a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Hezbollah and Iran.
"Tehran has deftly exploited the conflict, turning the strategic challenge it faces into an opportunity to expand its influence throughout the region," Badran told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. That influence takes place largely in the form of regionally recruited and exploited Shiite militants.
The operations are based on the model of Hezbollah, which Badran described as "the crown jewel of this regionwide network." Its power in the region has been significantly boosted by its involvement in the war in Syria.
It consists of factions in Syria, the Arab Gulf states, and Yemen. Militants are often trained by Hezbollah.
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) are considered by regional and security experts as an "auxiliary force" of Hezbollah.
The Hezbollah-LAF relationship has become so blatant that earlier this year Saudi Arabia pulled out of a $3 billion financial support program for the LAF. Hezbollah branches have been operating in the Gulf since the 1980's, according to the CIA.
Also this year, two of the most powerful regional Arab coalitions took a strong stance against Hezbollah. The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League both designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Yet Badran warned that the United States has been slow to understand the current situation.
"The LAF-Hezbollah synergy is broadly recognized in the region, with strategic implications that have been only dimly perceived in the United States," said Badran. He notes that the Israeli military has also taken a stance against the LAF, warning it will be a major target if there is another war with Lebanon.
Domestic connections don't stop there, though. Badran said that the "weak and dysfunctional Lebanese state" is routinely exploited by Hezbollah.
"It exerts direct influence over, for example, the Lebanese customs authority and the financial auditor's office in order to protect its criminal enterprises, and uses Lebanese territory for the training of Shiite militias in the Iranian network."
All of it leads back to Iran.
"Through Hezbollah, Iran has made the Lebanese state complicit in its activities," said Badran.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Alternative stress evaluation criteria suitable for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) proposed by Okamoto et al. [1] have been studied by the Committee on Three Dimensional Finite Element Stress Evaluation (C-TDF) in Japan. Thermal stress ratchet criteria in plastic FEA are now under consideration. Two criteria are proposed: evaluating variations in plastic strain increments and evaluating variations in the elastic core region. To verify the validity of these criteria, calculations were performed for several typical models in C-TDF [2]. This paper shows calculations and evaluation results of 2-dimensional and 3-dimentinal nozzles for shakedown and Ke-factors, as defined by equation 2. Two models are used. One is a 2-dimensional (2D) axi-symmetric model of a typical nozzle. The other is a 3-dimantional (3D) model of the nozzle of which shell radius is half of 2-dimensional model. The primary and secondary stress, shakedown analyses using elastic-plastic FEA and Ke-factors which are directly calculated from elastic-plastic FE analyses are surveyed. The results show that the alternative criteria are applicable for those models. The analysis results of the 2D model show good relation to those of the 3D model.

I want you to imagine what it takes to be good at something. There's a figure of 10000 hours being thrown around a lot these days — I think Malcolm Gladwell was the one who put it about that it takes 10000 hours to become really good at anything — though this sounds like nonsense to me.* But it is eminently believable nonsense, because it (1) is a Secret of Success, (2) is quantified, and (3) is based on some sort of scientific study, maybe, we think. Probably. It has a number, so, you know, it's probably science.
But now I want you to use your own experience here. Think of something you are really good at, a complex and demanding practice for which your skill is demonstrably much higher than the human average. Maybe it's rock-climbing, maybe it's playing a musical instrument, maybe it's baking. It's a practice you've spent years developing; it's what you've poured your best self into (whatever that means to you). You have devoted yourself to this thing without regard to cost, personal inconvenience, and even suffering. Now, if you just said something like I don't have anything like that, I'm going to agree with Peter Sloterdijk and say you should get one, fast. But if you are with me this far, then I want you to think of someone in your chosen field of endeavor whom you know is inarguably better than you. Stronger, fleeter, tastier. Just on another level — as different from you as Roger Federer is from the guy teaching tennis down at the Y.
OK. Think of how much energy it has taken to get to where you are now. Where you are right now is X. Where you started — your first awkward grappling with the rock face, your first fumbling at string or pipe, your first childish attempt at cupcakes (with a smile of encouragement from Mom) — that's A. So all the work you've expended in getting good has described the span from A to X. Now think of how much energy it would take to get from X (where you are) to where that person is who's on that next level, the higher plateau you can see but for which there is (at least to you) no marked path. Let's call that the distance from X to Y.
My theory is that the distance from A to X is commensurate with (not exactly the same, maybe, but in the ballpark) the distance from X to Y.
Or put it another way: let's say you're about 90% as good as it's possible to be in your chosen endeavor. The pro hanging out over there on plateau Y is about 92%. But the energy it takes to go from 90% to 92% is not the same as what it took to get from, say, 1 to 3. Not even close. In fact it might take nearly as much practice to get from 90% to 92% as it did to get from 0 to 90. What this means is that practice cannot be plotted on a straight line; it's a line (parabola? hyperbola?) that climbs steadily for a while and then shoots upward in a steep curve, converging on but never quite reaching the terminus. Like an object approaching the speed of light, practice cannot reach the limit of perfection, the 100%, because it would take an infinite amount of energy to get there. Each increment of improvement after 90% costs an exponential amount more than the last increment.** The stretch between 90 and 100, between good and great, exacts an extravagant cost entirely disproportionate to the price of getting to 90 in the first place. It's all massively mounting costs with increasingly tiny rewards. It doesn't make sense.
Or to put it very simply: it makes much more sense to be good at something that to be great at something. Being great at something is inefficient. Why knock yourself out for 92% when you can manage 90% in half the time?
I know that I am using an argument whose numbers and math are all made-up. But the fake math is just there as a metaphor, to help make a slightly abstract point easier to visualize. What I write is borne out in my own experience and indeed in every conversation I have ever had with a really outstanding musician or scholar. Now, perhaps there is such a thing as genius; perhaps there are people who can hurdle to something very close to 100% without anything like the same strain it costs all the nearest competitors, like Mozart vs. Salieri in Amadeus. But I wouldn't know about people like that, because I never met any of them. In my experience, nothing comes for free. You want greatness? One way or another, you're going to have to pay for it. Which, in the domain of practice, means you're going to have to work for it, put in the time, suffer.
We are always told that a capitalist system works the best because it promotes competition. Socialism encourages failure. Anything that shelters us from the hard cold winds of market competition, we are told, makes us complacent, indulgent, and lazy. A pure market ideology would insist that all shelters be torn down, that no-one be exempt from the iron law of human striving. By striving against your competitors, in business or anything else, you will naturally reach the highest possible levels of attainment. Although this process of competition takes place on an individual level, society as a whole is strengthened when its members, denied the false security of state subsidy and so forced to recognize their self-interest, learn to strive with reasoned selfishness. A society of strivers, each working for his or her own gain, will collectively make the closest thing we will ever get to a perfect society. This is Hayek 101, the basic rationale of the neoliberal state.
It appears that the spirit of capitalism would be the same deity presiding over Sloterdijk's notion of practice and vertical attainment. But I want to suggest that it isn't. What I want to argue is this: a system oriented to market efficiency above all else will actually work against the highest attainment in every domain except its own. For attainments in the field of money-making, the pursuit by the most talented minds at the most elite universities of the most sophisticated mathematical formulas for extracting ever more esoteric derivatives from market investments, the present time will no doubt will be remembered as a golden age. But in the fields of art and the humanities, the same system encourages the production of good (or goodish) work and discourages the production of great work. It stands directly in the path from good to better to best, from lowest to highest. It is inimical to the spirit of practice; it is therefore, in Sloterdijk's terms, conducive to barbarism.
Next time: by way of an example, consider that fraught moment when you submit the first draft of a Ph.D. dissertation . . .
*Is this supposed to be the same for everything? For everyone? At all periods of life? You mean 10000 hours studying something when you're 8 is the same as 10000 hours when you're 70? Define "good," anyway.
**Math is not my strong suit, so if a more mathematically-inclined person could rephrase what I've written more elegantly, I'd appreciate it.
UPDATE: Michael McClimon writes via Twitter,
Re: your math statement. It's a logarithmic scale; the changes from 90-100% are orders of magnitude, not linear changes. i.e. it takes 10x as much work to get from 92-93% as it does from 91-92%, for example.

Lucid Dreams
Silence has a way of instigating
Thoughts in my mind I am not relating.
Spinning and churning inside my mind,
They cast me out of space and time.
I barely notice when I fall asleep,
And suddenly my thoughts become dreams.
Once they were so vivid,
I had the ability
to achieve ultimate lucidity.
But lately it is not to be.
I have lost control.
Cannot remember the life I lead
When I'm living large inside my dreams.

Hey everyone,
So I recently I have been invited by Two Guys, Tea, and D&D, to take part in a mini campaign that will be using an old Grey Hawk Module called Death's Ride (by Garry Spiegel) but converted into D&D 5th Edition. Instead of playing in the Grey Hawk world, our DM will be placing this into the Forgotten Realms on the Sword Coast. Here is the synopsis so far of what is to come:
"The cloud is there, its nature and cause unknown. None have returned from the Barony of Twolakes Vale for weeks. Furthermore, the cloud is spreading and vague reports of unrest and mysterious disappearances are spreading. All communication with the Barony has ceased. King Ericall, worried about the security of his border and angered at the loss of tax revenues, has commissioned you, a delegation of powerful heroes to investigate."
In our Group's Session Zero, we all chose our character's race/class, started talking about starting level (Level 8), Point Buy/Standard Array, and hashing out some of the other good background stuff. Because a good friend of mine, Mr. Derek Elliott, recently gave me Volo's Guide to Monsters as a birthday gift, I thought that it would be fitting to try out a character from that for something completely different.
So I give you all my character below:
Whispering Timbers
Level 8 Ranger (Hunter Archetype)
Timbers is an ambassador from Maztica, a far land West of the Sword Coast. He has been summoned by his clan leader of the Bright Cliffs Clan and sent to the Sword Coast as a gesture of good will between the two kingdoms. The Tabaxi are looking to make good on trade negotiations. On this trade route is a dark cloud that seems to be causing disappearances. Some were Tabaxi traders. Timbers is a great tracker and has been ordered from his land to get to the bottom of the incident and make sure the trading between the two nations continues unhindered.
Feel free to Download my Character Sheet of him and scale him as needed for your games.
These sessions will begin in the next few weeks and will be recorded by Two Guys, Tea, and D&D. When they are up and running, I will post them on my blog here for everyone's enjoyment.
Happy Gaming!

Get plenty of sleep, drink water, take the time to move around, manage stress, and make meaningful things. Though a simple list, I believe it is a good suggestion of what to aim for to lead a better and healthier life this year. This is all well and good, but real life improvement comes from implementation rather than from deliberation; so, let's discuss how we can make that final leap to action.
One, two, and three are fairly straightforward – we even know the daily metrics here. 7.5 – 9 h of sleep, 1.5 – 2 L of water, 0.5 h of exercise. The fourth point is subjective but we all know the drill: see the bigger picture, don't get hung up on details; breathe. The fifth point, though, is tricky. There is a consistent message out there to do and make, but where to begin? What does this even mean?
I first came across the suggestion in the article here. On my reading, it suggests that we spend too much time on intention and not enough time on action. And fulfillment comes from action, and from implementation. My favourite example from the article is the conversation full of self-proclaimed "writers," few of whom actually make that final step of writing something to justify the title.
So perhaps we need to commit to doing more in the coming year. Here are just a few of the ideas I came up with to challenge myself with. So far they are all in my head. Maybe by the time the year is over, I will be able to back up each one with a real, deliberate, illustrative action actually taken.
(1) Fight perfectionism. It is true that sheer perfectionism got me to many of the places where I am today. However, you may notice that I have gaps of several months between a few of the blog posts on this website. This is because life gets in the way, yes; but also because I spend much too much time in my mind, ironing out halfway-good blog post ideas and then discarding them in a figurative wastebasket. It is overflowing with figuratively crunched up balls of paper. (Possibly some pieces are floating down in a confetti of ribbon-like scraps, figuratively.) And while I want to ensure that my posts are relevant to readers and, well, good, maybe there is more value in trial-and-error practice than I realize.
(2) Cook. This is possibly the most direct way you can translate ideas into tangible, beautiful, unique, and above all, useful content. Everyone needs to eat. I highly recommend perusing through the Smitten Kitchen website and also treating yourself to a nice cookbook. I know I will be experimenting with lots of food this year.
(3) Make art. And I don't mean legitimate art. I know people whose job it is to paint or to take photographs, and I will not pretend to have the skills that they do. However, I believe that a little bit of creativity can make life better. I have a large chalkboard in my kitchen for recipes, handmade calendars, and ad hoc doodles. There are art kits that will let you paint Van Gogh pieces on a little canvas with an outline of Sunflowers. I've already discussed jig saw puzzles last year in this post. And everyone has a camera – a dedicated device, or one on their phone. When I see something beautiful, I take a picture. This makes me go through life carefully. Maybe doing all of these things is not the most pragmatically useful concept but it is emotionally fulfilling to alter your environment in small, beautiful ways.
(4) Do things for other people. It is a good sentiment to be a well-wishing and a nice person. But I will challenge myself to do something to prove it. We have lots of charities and volunteer opportunities to choose from. If I think students should push themselves to learn real life skills and professional presentation capabilities, I can always help judge a competition that encourages these skills. Communities (locally, regionally, globally) would be stronger if we lost some of the bystander effect and realized that individual actions do count towards the greater good.
There is a good point in the argument that we all live inside ourselves more so than we ever did before. There are incentives to do so: we can showcase what is "inside" us through social media websites, blogs, and instagram accounts. There are fewer incentives to follow through on the thoughts we express to actually prove that we really do subscribe to them. This is because everyone else won't notice: they are also busy crafting their image on those online platforms that are not real life, not where actions take place. Perhaps this is overstated, but it illustrates the idea.
Let's change this one decision at a time. I think people and their intentions are intrinsically good. If this is true, and our actions follow our intentions, there might be some great things ahead.

Talented much? I think so. This is Kurt Johnsen, founder of American Power Yoga. He has been my teacher and my friend for many years. To say he has inspired me would be a massive understatement. He shined a light on my spiritual path well before I knew it. Spiritually, I'm really not sure where I'd be without his words and wisdom. At a time when I couldn't afford yoga, he allowed me to be the "studio maid" as a trade until I was back on my feet. I think somehow he knew I needed yoga in my life as much as I needed air. Last year I became a certified yoga instructor under his program and it has changed my life. He's a pro at kicking you clear out of your comfort zone.

Organic Coconut Palm Sugar by Sunfood 1 lb Granule Organic Coconut Palm Sugar 1 lb Granule What Is Coconut Palm Sugar Coconut palm sugar comes directly from the blossoms of Indonesian coconut trees (Cocos nucifera). It is made by evaporating coconut nectar from tropical palm flowers. The process of making coconut sap sugar is similar to how maple sugar crystals are made. Farmers gently hand-harvest the buds and collect the sweet nectar using traditional methods. The syrup is then kettle-boiled dehydrated and ground into crystals. Coconut palm sugar looks similar to brown sugar however it has not been chemically altered or enhanced in any way making it a pure natural whole food sweetener. Note to raw purists Coconut palm sugar is not a raw product as it is evaporated using temperatures above 120 degrees. Suggested Use As a dietary supplement Coconut palm sugar is simple to use as it dissolves easily in liquids and can be used 1 1 to regular sugar. It has a full unique delightful carame Read More »

Tips from the Glass Room: Are All Glass Bottles the Same? – DWK Life Sciences
There are many different types of glass. They differ in terms of their chemical composition, the method used to produce them or their processing behavior. Generally, they are categorized according to their chemical composition. The three types of glass (soda-lime glass, lead glass and borosilicate glass) make up around 95 percent of the cullet glass used in the production process. The remaining 5 percent of glass is special-purpose glass. Wheaton uses both soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass for our products.
Soda-lime glass is the most common commercial glass, and also the least expensive. Soda-lime glass is not very resistant to high temperatures, sudden thermal changes or corrosive chemicals. Soda-lime glass is the glass produced in by far the largest quantities of all mass produced glass types. As the name indicates, the main constituents,in addition to sand, are soda and lime. A typical soda-lime glass contains 71 to 75 percent silicon dioxide (SiO2), 12 to 16 percent sodium oxide (Na2O), 10 to 15 percent calcium oxide (CaO) and small quantities of other substances such as dyes.
Borosilicate glass is a premium glass when compared to soda-lime glass. Borosilicate is glass made from sand and boron compounds. 70 to 80 percent by weight of borosilicate glass is sand. Seven to 13 percent is boron trioxide, four to eight percent is sodium and potassium oxide and two to seven percent aluminum oxide.
Borosilicate glass has a low thermal expansion coefficient and high chemical resistance, making it ideal for use in laboratories and the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The advantage is that it has a much lower coefficient of expansion (COE) which means it doesn't change size much when heated, which means it doesn't crack when heated. The disadvantage is that while it softens when heated in a torch, it doesn't flow much and needs to be heated hotter than soda-lime glass.
The smaller the linear expansion coefficient, the more resistant the glass is to temperature variations. The larger expansion coefficients, the temperature difference during heating causes stresses in the glass and, thus, possible breakage. Soda-lime glass has a higher coefficient of expansion than borosilicate glass.
Borosilicate glass is used for scientific glass apparatus, bottles and ampules. It is also used for cookware in the home. When you see someone working with glass in a mall or arts showcase with a torch with a strong blue flame, they are working with borosilicate glass. It can be heated and cooled without cracking easier than for soda-lime glass. We invite you to post your questions regarding glass types.

I was recently reading a blog post written by a young lady who was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. She is now 21 years old, and she was writing her post to raise awareness about something that I had not really thought about. Why do only 7% of standard print books get transcribed into audio, large print or Braille?
Disabled Access
When I think about disabled access, the natural thought is for access to buildings and transport for people who need to use wheelchairs. How very narrow-minded of me! I am ashamed to say that I had not really thought about those people who have other, less obvious impairments. So it got me thinking – how would I cope if I could not see?
A Trip to the Library
Much like the young lady in the blog post, I enjoy a good book. There have been times when I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the latest book in a series to be published. How disappointing would it be to only have access to 7% of all the books in print? But there are many other issues, too. I imagined myself, unable to see, going about my daily tasks. I would be worried about setting a foot outside, let alone going to a public place. I thought about my trips to the local library. How would I know where to go even if I managed to get through the door? I wouldn't be able to browse the shelves as I do now, and I wouldn't even be able to find the desk where I could ask the librarian for help.
A Great Idea
I started searching online for the kind of help that is available. I found a website that provides tactile trail guides, a kind of bumpy line that sticks to the floor, especially to help visually impaired people know where they are. I'm going to mention it to the librarian at my local library next time I go. They could lay a trail to the reception desk and to the large print and audio books. That would surely help. If you want to find out more about tactile trail guides, click here. I've seen something similar at roadside crossings, but I've never seen this kind of thing used indoors.
The more I think about it, there are lots of places where something like this would be useful. As someone who is lucky enough to have her sight, I know there have been occasions when I have felt lost in a building and not known where to go. When I've visited a hospital, it would have helped if there was a trail to the reception desk. Many public buildings are so big and busy that it can be confusing; it must be much worse if you cannot see.
In the future, I will be more mindful when I think about disabled access. It is not only important to make sure everyone has physical access, but access to all the things we enjoy should be for everyone, even those who cannot see.

Blah blah blah everywhere going on as if you are all the centre of the fucking universe like you are the only arshole that deserves to be happy and as if you are fucking surely the only arsehole that deserves to be pissed off. No. You are fucking idiotic you mental fucking two faced gossiping fuckwards. You wastes of time. Scumbags. Fuck well off away.
Its all about "I" this and I that…I think and I always and I want to and I must say. No you fucking mustnt. Your 'opinions' are void. You moron who thinks she has the right to slag off someone who has got rich parents or someone who has got on the surface everything they want! Maybe they havent you dickbrain. Maybe her parents dont give a shit about her or maybe her fucking brother beats and rapes her and mummy gives her a credit card to 'MAKE UP' for it. Oh just shut the fuck up.
I sometimes hate this world with its shallow human existence. I am not perfect but at least i tell the fucking truth.

Quantitative Aptitude is considered to be the arch nemesis of almost every Banking Aspirant (if it is not the case with you, believe us, we are so happy for you). Many aspirants have missed their dream banking job because they were; somehow, unable to clear sectional cut offs, primarily in the section we are talking about.
Order of Attempt and Time allocation
This section, like Reasoning Section, contains 35 Questions. Difficulty level will be similar to IBPS PO Prelims Exam and the expected Break up of this section is as follows:
Arithmetic Questions ( Percentage, Profit and Loss, Ration and Proportion, SI & CI, Time and work, TSD, SI &CI, Mixture and allegations, Averages, Problems on Ages etc) - 8-10
- Series - 5
- Quadratic Equations - 5
- Simplification - 5
- Probability - 0-2
- DI [Pie Chart, Bar Graph ,Tables etc) - 10 (5 *2)
Time Allocation and Order of Attempt
If you are one of those few students who never had any trouble in Quant Section, you may like to attempt this section after English and allocate around 20 minutes. This will not only help you in clearing sectional cut offs but also scoring decent marks which in turn will help you with overall cut-offs.
For those who are either weak or average in Quant you can attempt this section at the end. Time allocated to this section should be 22-25 minutes.
Categories of Questions:
We can divide all Questions in Quant section into two categories.
3. Easy and Scoring Questions
Start your quantitative section with these questions. These questions are generally easy to solve , require less time and you can easily achieve high accuracy. There will be around 15-17 Questions from this category.
Arithmetic Topics(Click on the link to open questions & concepts) : Problems on Ages, Percentage, Averages, Simple Interest/ Compound Interest , Profit and Loss , Ratio & Proportions.
DI (one of the DI Sets)
4. Time Consuming Questions
Questions in this category are difficult than above and may require more time to solve. Attempt them after solving first category questions.
Some of the questions are tricky. Accuracy will depend on amount of practice done before exam. There will be around 12-15 Questions from this category.
- Probability
- Quadratic Equations
- Arithmetic Topics: Mixture and allegations , Time and Work , Time Speed and Distance
- Number Series
- Another DI Set
For students who just want to clear sectional cut offs solving first category questions with a few question from second will be enough but then you will need to solve decent number of question in both English and Reasoning to clear the overall cut-off.
Tips on How to Prepare Quant Section in last few weeks
With less than a few weeks left for exam, there are only a few tried & tested approaches you can opt for. The Most Common approach is to identify the weak topics upon which you can work.
5. Compartmentalization of topics is very important. One must know the topics one is comfortable with – from least to most. One also needs to know as to what could be the level of difficulty of questions; one can handle in an examination scenario.
To make you understand, lets assume I am extremely confident with percentage related problem. Irrespective of level of difficulty, I know in my heart that I would be able to do solve the problem. I also have also realized during my preparation that I can solve easy to moderate level questions from TSD (Time, Speed and Distance). And, the moment I see a question from Probability, I feel nauseated. One has to have an understanding of this level pertaining to one's preparation to sail through test without much trouble.
6. Use the last few days to formulate your strategy to attempt questions based on this understanding. Solve as many last year questions as possible just to make yourself comfortable & confident. You must not be wondering and surmising on the final day on the pattern, topics, level of difficulty of questions etc.
7. Keep a notebook with yourself where you write important points and formulas. This will assist you revisiting the most vital points and formulas on your exam day.
8. Start Attempting as many mock tests as possible. When your are left with handful of days to go, nothing will help you more than writing and analyzing Mock Tests. These tests will provide you with insights, such as Time Management, Selection of Questions and Topics, formulation of an effective strategy to nail the test etc.
9.Topic wise Tips
Data Interpretation: As we mentioned in our previous article, if the answers are numbers not close to each other, then you do not need to do the accurate calculations. You can round off the numbers and do approximate calculations and mark the answer closest to the answer you calculated. No other strategy can beat the option elimination technique in DI section. Try to avoid doing long calculations as in an exam that demands aspirants to solve 100 questions in 60 minutes; you may end up wasting and not investing your time by doing long calculations. If you are good with calculations & approximation techniques, percentage, ratio & proportion and option elimination technique – these questions are very easy to answer.
Quadratic Equations – Revising your high school mathematics book on factorization can assist you finding the roots of the quadratic equations faster.
Series – Mostly n2, n3, n2 ± constant, n3 ± constant, n2 ±n, n3 ±n, n2 ±n3 will cover around 75% of the series completion problems. Hence, relax and attempt.
General Mistakes to Avoid:
10. Not Reading Questions Completely
In quant section this is the most common mistake made by students. In hurry to solve questions faster, you don't read questions clearly and end up making mistakes. This problem can cause frustration as even after solving the question methodically, you will not get the relevant option. And then, it becomes a herculean task to identify as to where you went wrong. Hence, read twice before you go ahead and start solving.
11. Avoid Risky Shortcuts
You may be of the view point that the whole point of Speed test is to solving question as fast as possible then why avoid shortcuts. If you have practiced a particular shortcut or trick on lot many questions during your preparation then go ahead. But, if you have just read some shortcut or any trick during last leg of your preparation, avoid using it in the exam as you do not know the conditions in which this particular shortcut can be applied. Solve the question using conventional way even if it takes more time.
12. Guess Work
Absolutely avoid any guess work.
This brings us to the conclusion of our well read and much loved series about IBPS PO Prelims Tips.
We hope you gained lots of knowledge and confidence for attempting and cracking IBPS PO Prelims 2015. Let us know how this whole series helped you and how we can improve to serve you better by commenting below. Also please ask us any questions not only related to Quantitative Section but with IBPS PO in general.
Thank You!!!

The Impossible Journey
This has been the strangest series of Strictly Come Dancing yet. The whole thing has felt very odd and bad feeling has been at a high. Allegiations - from the public, pros and celebs - that it's fixed, have left an odd feeling hanging over the entire show. Of course there has been a sense building over the past few years of 'over-production' that there has been an attempt to control every last detail - whether that includes the scoring or not, I don't plan to comment, but Strictly's charm, being live TV, was often its spontaneity (something Brucie was a pro at, I must say). Viewers do get a sense when they are being manipulated. They may not know the details, but it has certainly felt that something is amiss. And this year it came to a head.
However, this series' problems may also boil down to one over-riding and quite simple fact: there were too many previously trained dancers in the competition. Now, I don't have a problem with a 'ringer' or two. In fact, I think they bring a lot to the competition. Firstly, they provide viewers with some excellent dancing in the early weeks of the competition when everyone else is getting to grips with the basics. Secondly, they set the pace and give the rest of the contestants something to aspire to.
Two examples of this are Denise Van Outen and Natalie Gumede - both brilliant from week one, and did we mind? No. Did we enjoy their dances? Absolutely. Both made the final but were beaten to the Glitterball by celebrities who did not have the same level of dance background but - and this is crux of the matter - progressed more. I doubt either Denise or Natalie would complain about this - they had a great run - the full experience - and both appeared to enjoy it immensely.
So why was this year different? In short, there were too many Denises. Georgia, Kellie, Helen, Jay and -arguably - Peter, all started the competition, week one, at a relatively high level.
It normalised that level of dance to the point that other celebrities' progress was lost somewhere in the middle. Jamelia (regardless of her level of popularity with the public) improved beyond measure. Anita, with no previous dance experience, did that absolutely wonderful Paso Doble, one of the best dances of the series. Now, yes, you could argue that the 'middling' contestants are the ones who usually get lost - but the problem is that Anita particularly shouldn't have been 'middling' at all - another year, she would have been right up near the top.
Let's put scoring scandals to one side for a minute and assume that all the marks given to each couple this year were fair and square. Even in this instance, having four or five consistently getting 8s, 9s and 10s from the start effectively locks many others out of the final stages. From the very beginning. Anyone not already at that level was never really given a chance. We could have held the final at week three.
This is not a dig at any particular contestant. We do all have our favourites but they have all worked hard and all in the final were wonderful dancers. However, I think a terrible miscalculation when casting this series - amongst quite a few other issues - has caused many fans to question their loyality to the show. We may all mock the J... word but that's what Strictly's always been about. Only this year, a journey has been all but impossible.

You are absolutely right and I believe there was no "fix" this year - the standard was just so HIGH with all the pre-trained stage/dance participants. If we compare week one of this series to week one of series one or two (and even Ewan & Orla to the best of the first and second series) the we are world apart.
I also think that the final was of sub-standard because the choreography was let down in the "showdances". When the term "freestyle" was used, the dance used to be an all out dance with no boundaries - since the term "showdance" was introduced (last two series?) then there seems to have been more traditional dance elements included and no real "show".
We can look at Erin's "puppet dance" with Colin and slate it but it was very DIFFERENT and we can look at Camilla and Tom and their tap element or even Karen and Mark's real freestyle with all the lifts, etc.... nothing in this series final hit that spot.

Interesting blog. I think many people, including myself, would agree with you. Strictly is the only reality TV show I watch, and I've always thought it was different from the others - better, kinder and more honest.
But for a few years now, and this year in particular, I've been disappointed and a bit annoyed by various things about the show. I've watched Strictly from the very start but this year I didn't even watch the final. I hadn't been enjoying the series much and when Anita was voted out in the semis my last reason to watch was gone.
I don't think I'll be watching next year. I'll miss it in some ways, but it's become too contrived, predictable and unpleasant for me to tune in any more.

I've just started watching season 12 and realized that in that season Anita would've been one of the better dancers from the start. I wonder if the producers realize how much better the final would've been (both in terms of show value and in terms of what the show means to so many viewers) had Anita been there.

The Phenomenon that is Pokémon Go
Jul 22, 2016
Pokémon Go, an augmented reality (AR) app for Android and iOS, launched in the U.S. and Australia on July 6, 2016 – less than one month ago. Since then, the app has exploded in popularity with gamers and the media. In its short lifespan, it has made multiple headlines and is engaging a larger active user base than some of the most popular social apps like Tinder, Twitter, and even Facebook. Spontaneous social gatherings – some with thousands of people – have been happening around the world. Pokémon Go is taking the world by storm, and it is not even available in every major country yet (Chinese release date is still TBA).
Part of the reason behind the explosive popularity is due to nostalgia. This is not the first time that Pokémon has been a phenomenon. To dissect the app's rapid success, one must first look briefly at the original games in the 1990s. The original two games for the Nintendo Gameboy handheld hit the U.S. in 1998, generating a show, movies, a card game, and billions in profit. That was roughly twenty years ago. Since then, the kids that traded cards and battled on connector cables in the schoolyard have matured into smartphone carrying grown-ups, and this time they have actual income at their disposal.
Pokémon was a game series meant to transport players to another world – let them travel, explore, and collect creatures along the way. In short: a game ideal for AR conversion. The Pokémon Go app takes the game into the player's "real" world. In doing so, Pokémon Go is not just a success in the gaming market, but a revolution in several other verticals as well.
Pokémon Go has no built-in chat options, but allows for online social networking by allowing a player to take pictures of their Pokémon, using the smartphone's camera, and then post them to social networks (like Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook). Once the user has reached a certain level (Level five), they are allowed to join teams that "battle" other teams for territory in the Pokémon network.
Pokémon Go could also be the most successful exercise app in history, requiring that players walk and explore their real world to find hidden Pokémon. There are even locations called "PokeStops" (places where users are rewarded with in-game items) that are located in public areas, such as parks, museums, stadiums, and other historical landmarks. So the app is also encouraging cultural immersion.
InfoTrends' Opinion
In short, Pokémon Go is one of those social apps that took advantage of, and expanded upon, its already well-known gameplay into an immersive gaming, social networking, and exercise app. Pokémon Go is a perfect example of how traditional market boundaries can be made meaningless through innovation.
This phenomenon will likely have positive impact on the emerging AR industry. AR (whether Pokémon Go is true AR or not could be debatable) has definitely vaulted into the public awareness. Companies interested in creating successful AR apps should look to Pokémon Go for inspiration. That said, companies should not confuse Pokémon's popularity with AR popularity. Based on limited search engine data from Google, while Pokémon Go has exploded, there has been no dramatic increase in AR activity.
Nevertheless, the enormous popularity of Pokémon Go in such a short peiod of time is a positive sign. AR has its foothold – time will tell exactly how much it is able to build off this app's success.

Coffee lovers are being invited to take part in a new scheme to give a cup of kindness.
The Storehouse in Skegness has joined the worldwide Suspended Coffee movement that allows people to buy a coffee for themselves and for someone in need at the same time.
Community manager at the Storehouse, in North Parade, Alan Bailey (pictured) said: "It's a lovely idea. We already had people asking if they could pay for a coffee for somebody who might need it so we joined the scheme."
People visiting the Storehouse have also paid for a second meal for others in need and last year the Storehouse prepared nearly 15,000 food parcels for the community.
Marie Chapman, community development officer for Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service said: "I quite often meet people (and hold surgeries) at The Storehouse. I've seen the Suspended Coffee scheme at work and the difference it can make."
The money given for a second cup is recorded and put aside and when someone comes in who may be homeless, completely broke or who may just need help at that moment they can ask for a coffee and be served a Suspended Coffee.
