You can't have a hen weekend in Barcelona without sampling some scrumptious local Tapas, and we have the best way of doing this, while having a fun night out. Our private Tapas Tours, organised just for your group of hens, is a great alternative to a formal sit down meal.
Our friendly, English speaking guide will meet you at around 8.30pm and then take you to three lively local tapas restaurants/bars. In each location you will get to sample a mix of tapas, with a glass of local wine (or beer if you prefer) included.
Our Tapas Tour is located in the Barrio Gotico area of the city. For those of you not familiar with the city, the Barrio Gotico is the old town area, located right by the famous Las Ramblas.
Tapas is a sociable way of eating, rather than getting jealous about what someone else has ordered, you all get to try a bit of everything. Perfect! It's relaxed and fun; tapas bars are filled with the buzz of conversation and people generally having a good time.
We organise the Tapas Tour in fun places, and the last venue is lively with great music. You can either stay there for a few more drinks, or our guide will recommend further places to go, the Barrio Gotico is full of night time action, so you are right in the middle of it all!
Contact us to check availability for your Barcelona Hen Weekend.

We expect that CES will be a lot different from what it was last year, mainly because Macworld isn't happening at the same time. So instead of racing to cover a possible update to the iPhone, we'll be able to spend all of our time covering what's going on in Las Vegas.
As in recent years, we know that CES will be a busy few days for the mobile world. Though cell phones have to fight with every other gadget to get the world's attention, we still expect to find a lot of news on the show floor. As always, music phones and video phones will be a big part of the show, and while the iPhone won't be in Vegas (except in the hands of some of the attendees), at least one iPhone-like trend should predominate. In particular, we expect that we'll see some of the following:
Touch this
The iPhone wasn't the first cell phone to offer a touch screen, and it certainly won't be the last. At CES, and in 2008, we're sure well see more touch-screen handsets like the recent LG Voyager and Venus. Also on the design front, it appears the thin phone trend may be waning just a bit, and we're hearing rumors that we'll see new phones with crazy keypads. We'll have to wait and see.
T-Mobile 3G?
As any cell phone geek will tell you, T-Mobile is the only major carrier to lack a 3G network and a music downloading service. But in the past couple of months, T-Mobile put out two cell phone with 3G capability, the Samsung SGH-T369 and the Nokia 6263. Though we expect that a formal announcement of a wireless broadband network can't be too far behind, our gut tells us T-Mobile won't announce it at the show with so much else going on. But it could happen.
Unlocked phones
With the recent announcement from Verizon Wireless, it finally seems that unlocked phones are becoming a major force in the United States market. At CES, we suspect that unlocked phones will be plentiful. On a similar note, there should be more CDMA/GSM handsets like the Motorola Z6c.
Looking back, 2007 was another big year for smartphones. The release of Windows Mobile 6 brought a healthy helping of new devices from HTC, Samsung, and Motorola, among others, while Nokia, RIM, and Palm provided much competition with new models of their own.
The announcement of Google Android and the Open Handset Alliance has blown open the doors and made it a very exciting time for the cell phone industry. We don't anticipate the mass-market release of any Android smartphones just yet, but perhaps we'll get to see some prototypes and check out some applications. We'll also bring you a closer look at some announced-but-not-yet-released devices (at least in the States, anyway), such as the Nokia N82 and the HTC Touch Dual. Last, but not least, we expect to see more entry-level, consumer-friendly models as smartphones gain popularity with a wider audience.
Best of CES 2007: Verizon Wireless V Cast Mobile TV
What we said last year: Verizon Wireless joins with MediaFlo to create a truly innovative and watchable TV-on-phone experience. V Cast Mobile TV offers full-length, live television programming on selected handsets via a dedicated UHF signal. There's little of the pixilated, choppy effects of 3G video streaming, and audio/video syncing and channel switching are zippy.
What we think now: We continue to love V Cast Mobile TV. After three phones, it's still the best cell phone video around. We just wish it was running in more metro areas, the Bay Area in particular.

Here's how to use milk as invisible ink to write and reveal secret messages. I've also included an explanation of how milk works as an invisible ink. Dip a paintbrush, toothpick or stick into milk and write your message on paper. You'll be able to see the damp message, but it will disappear once the paper dries.Reveal the invisible message by holding the paper over a lit light bulb or other heat source. How It Works The substances in milk weaken the paper and also may be more susceptible to heat than the paper, so although the message dries clear, the paper weakens and darkens where the milk was applied.

Tonight's TV: Derren Brown Investigates
Channel 4, 10pm
You don't need a licence or any training to become a medium in this country.
In fact, the only job requirement is an ability to communicate with the dead — a skill that is hard to quantify. Derren Brown spends five days with Joe Power, a self-proclaimed and ambitious medium from Liverpool. Brown is scrupulously careful to avoid stating categorically that Power is a fraud. But he wastes no time in demonstrating how Power can use the psychological trickery of cold reading without any supernatural involvement, and he leaves it to the viewers to make up their own minds. Even if Power is a complete charlatan, it could be argued that he is fulfilling a need — that people want to belief in an…

Vanita Gopwani Comissiong
Ann Dodson was born in Barbados in 1958. she graduated from Concordia University, Canada and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Concordia University, Canada. One year later, she completed a diploma in Education at McGill University in Canada.

Born in Chile to a Barbadian mother and a Scottish father Heather-Dawn has gathered inspiration for her work from many countries. Her work takes influence from many sources and surprise is the only constant. Having studied sculpture for four years at the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art she turned to water colour washes and then broke away to colorful acrylic canvases. Her subject matter varies widely from portraiture and landscape to abstracts and fantasy, but a long enchantment with the first photographic images of the Caribbean still holds a fascination for her and she enjoys bringing these small monochromatic prints to life in large vivid works. More recently alongside the paintings she has begun exploring textiles, terra cotta and found materials which can be viewed at all of the islands exciting well established art galleries such as On the Wall, the Caribbean Gallery of Art, Art Splash and Art For Everyone.

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar on Tuesday began his visit to China with a meeting with Beijing's top diplomat Yang Jiechi during which they expressed strong commitment to develop positive relations despite differences over several issues.
His meeting with Yang comes ahead of the strategic dialogue tomorrow to improve bilateral ties hit by Chinese reluctance to support India's admission into the NSG and back a United Nations ban on JeM leader Masood Azhar.
Yang, besides being the State Councillor of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), is Beijing's Special Representative for border talks between India and China. In Chinese official hierarchy, State Councillor of the CPC is regarded as the top diplomat functioning directly under the country's leadership.
Welcoming Jaishankar, who arrived in China from Sri Lanka, at Zhongnanhai, the seat of power of Chinese leadership, Yang said despite differences, relations between the two sides had a positive growth last year.
"We truly hope that in the year ahead our two countries can enhance our exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation so that we can jointly contribute more to peace and stability and development of our region and the world at large," Yang said, recalling President Pranab Mukherjee's visit last year.
On his part, Jaishankar said, "it's very good to be back (to Beijing). I come with nostalgia and very good feelings and also a very strong sense of commitment to maintain the relationship".
Referring to the first Strategic Dialogue which he will hold with Zhang tomorrow, Jaishankar said, "this is not just a meeting between me and my counterpart, it is preceded by consultations" on a host of issues.
Jaishankar is expected to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, besides attending an upgraded strategic dialogue with China's Executive Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui tomorrow.
Underlining the significance of the strategic dialogue, which was upgraded during Wang's visit to New Delhi last year, China has deputed Zhang Yesui, also the head of the influential CPC committee of the Chinese Foreign Ministry for the parleys.
Jaishankar's talks with Yang and later in the Strategic Dialogue were expected to cover the key India-China differences like China blocking India's bid to join the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group and UN ban on Azhar and the USD 46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Ahead of the talks, the Foreign Secretary flagged India's concerns on CPEC and counter-terrorism in an interview with the China's-state run Global Times.
"For us, there are questions of sovereignty which need to be addressed first," he said in oblique references to CPEC passing through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) over which New Delhi has already conveyed its protest to Beijing.
The counter-terrorism is one area in which China and India should make special efforts together, he said, without directly referring to China's repeated technical holds since last year to block Indian and US attempts to clamp a UN ban on JeM chief Azhar.
"China has a very strong, principled position on counter-terrorism. We hope the position China already has will be further implemented," Jaishankar said, adding that discussions with China over the matter are still going on.
Last year, China twice put a technical hold on India's application to 1267 sanctions committee of the UNSC and again blocked a resolution moved by the US - and backed by France and the UK - in January.
"Whether last year's application by India or this year's by relevant country our position is consistent. Our criteria is only one, we need solid evidence. If there is solid evidence the application can be approved. If there is no solid evidence there is hardly consensus," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters on February 17.
On India's admission into the NSG, again blocked by China, he reiterated China's stand, "We stick to two-step approach namely, first NSG members need to arrive at a set of principles for the entry of NSG by non-NPT state parties, and then move forward discussions of specific cases."
China also defends the ambitious CPEC project, saying it is development project and made no difference to its stand that Kashmir issue should be resolve by India and Pakistan.
Officials say the strategic dialogue will cover the whole gamut of bilateral ties. Two sides have been stressing that both sides are holding talks at various levels to iron out differences stressing that dialogue is the best way forward.
Commenting "friction points" including Azhar and NSG, Geng said "differences between China and India are inevitable, but through various forms of in-depth exchanges, including the upcoming Strategic Dialogue, differences can be minimised and new agreement can be reached on further cooperation".
In his interview to the same daily, Shaktikanta Das, Secretary Economic Affairs, said India wants more than just investment and eying Chinese market.
"India wants to export more to China. We want to have more market access in China," Das said, urging China to further open up sectors like IT software and agricultural products.
India also has been pressing Beijing to open pharmaceutical sector.
India?s trade deficit with China last year is over USD 46 billion in over USD 70 billion bilateral trade. India has been pushing China to invest more to compensate for heavy trade deficit.
State-run Xinhua news agency later reported that Yang has called for stronger ties between India and China during his meeting with Jaishankar.
China is willing to work with India to implement the consensus reached by the two countries' leaders, maintain high-level exchanges and enhance strategic communication and practical cooperation, a press release quoted Yang as saying.
Jaishankar said India attaches great importance to its relationship with China and will strengthen dialogue and cooperation with China to further the bilateral ties, Xinhua said.

The guitar is finally finished! I say finally because I went over my initial timeline for this guitar by about 2 months, largely due to taking on the Hamilton guitar project and all of the travelling that I squeezed into the summer. I think it looks pretty fantastic and I am equally happy with how it sounds and plays. For a traditionally built guitar, this one has a decent amount of volume with responsive basses and singing trebles. I find that the guitar responds without a lot of effort and my fretting hand feels pretty comfortable on the 640mm scale. Unfortunately I will be delivering the guitar very soon, so I don't get much of a chance to play her!
Since the last building update, I have spent many hours applying (and removing) shellac. I started by brushing on a few coats and working some pore filler into the rosewood. That took me longer than it should have – I am not a big fan of the pore filler that I was using. Next time I'll be using the traditional French polishing method of filling pores rather than mucking around with another product. Once the pores were mostly filled, I switched gears a bit and started padding on shellac ("French Polishing"). I am by no means an experienced polisher, so I ended up having to sand out many more imperfections than I care to admit, but in the end, it has turned out passably well. I will save a more in depth discussion of French Polishing until I am more confident in the process.
Once I was happy with the top, I made a bridge out of rosewood and fitted and glued it in position. Of course I then had to go back and fix a couple of scratches in the polish, so I got out my shellac again and polished a bit more.
Then I hammered in the frets in and set the guitar up to play so that a couple of friends and colleagues could try out the guitar, and of course, the finish was damaged slightly during the test runs with all of the rasgueados and tapping, so I had to pull out the shellac once more and polish away the scratches. Luckily shellac, although time consuming, is quite forgiving, so after all of this, it looks pretty decent.
I have to say, I am quite fond of the birdseye maple fingerboard. At first I was skeptical, but now that I see the finished guitar with the rosette and everything working together, I think that bright fingerboard is quite stunning. It was also easier to work with than ebony or rosewood because pencil lines showed up really easily on the light wood!
I think this light fingerboard works so well because I kept the overall palette of the guitar quite simple. Rather than cramming in every exciting bit of wood that I could find, I stuck to cedar, rosewood, birdseye maple, white purfling, and a little bit of ebony. The bright fingerboard is balanced between a rosewood headstock veneer and a rosewood bridge.
And can I gloat a little bit over the success of the rosette? This was requested by the client, so I cannot take ownership of the idea, but I am pretty happy with the execution:
I did consider (after comments from some readers, actually) adding a new moon on the fingerboard to complete the lunar cycle, but after looking at it, thought that it looked a bit odd, and the client and I decided that we preferred the simple, clean look of an uninterrupted fingerboard.
I did put a little bit of Lee Valley's varnish oil on the fingerboard and the bridge to protect the wood from dirt and give it a bit of a glow.
Not much else to say on this guitar, but here are a few more pictures:
And so that is it, another one done! I'll be starting a new guitar soon, but first I have to get through a couple more projects, so you might not see the new build under way until late October.

Recent legislative events are taking aim at price transparency, including an executive order by President Trump on healthcare price transparency. Read our guest blog by our partners, Healthcare Bluebook, for their take on the recent healthcare price transparency regulatory action.
What happens when an employee receives a bad call about their health? If they find out they have a serious – even catastrophic – health condition, how does an employer with a self-funded plan manage this?
With the anticipated growth of healthcare costs and the high costs paid to hospitals by health plans, it becomes a real challenge to "bend" healthcare costs downward.
How leveraging coupons and copay cards can save some serious money.
By Peter Beerman, Senior Vice President, HealthSmartRx Solutions
A look at some of our successes over the past year along with some insights into 2019 by our CEO, Phil Christianson.
What happens if an employee's health plan doesn't have negotiated pricing with their hospital? Unless the patient and plan pay the full price amount for services, they could find themselves in litigation. As more small and mid-size companies opt to self-insure, finding a way to better control the cost of facility and hospital expenses has proven Reference Based Pricing (RBP) to be a smart solution.
For employers who self-fund their health plan, the first decision is choosing how to administer your health plan. When outsourcing your plan, you can use either a Third Party Administrator (TPA) like HealthSmart or an Administrative Services Only (ASO) program from an insurer (Carrier). In either case, they'll help you design and build your plan and then manage the day-to-day. But that's essentially where the similarities end.
It's that time of year for employers to evaluate if their health program is running efficiently. This is among the most important decisions employers will make all year because of the financial and service impact to members. Here are just a few things to think about when weighing the options.
As employers look for ways to lower healthcare costs, more are looking Reference Based Pricing. But is that enough? Wait until you hear about SmartDecision!
HealthSmart CEO Phil Christianson announces the launch of our new corporate website, and provides some thoughts on the future of healthcare and how HealthSmart is working to make healthcare better for our members and plan sponsors.

San Francisco 49ers
49ers free-agency tracker: 49ers looking at guard, running back
SANTA CLARA -- Though no free agents can be signed until 1 p.m. Wednesday, teams were permitted to begin discussing would-be free agents at 9 a.m. Monday. Here's the up-to-date scuttlebutt involving the 49ers:
3/9: ESPN reported that the Minnesota Vikings would sign 49ers guard Alex Boone when the league year begins at 1 p.m. After Boone and the 49ers failed to come up with a contract extension in 2014, it became clear he would move on in free agency. He and the 49ers have had only cursory discussions since. In Minnesoate, Boone will work under offensive line coach Tony Sparano, who was the 49ers' tight ends coach last year.
3/9: The 49ers reached agreement on a five-year contract extension with nose tackle Ian Williams. He was set to become a free agent at 1 p.m today. The team's starting defensive line for the beginning on 2016 appears to be Arik Armstead, Williams and Quinton Dial.
3/8: The 49ers signed linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong to a one-year contract extension. Armstrong, 25, is expected to compete with Michael Wilhoite, Gerald Hodges, Shayne Skov, Nick Bellore and perhaps others for the starting inside linebacker spot next to NaVorro Bowman. Armstrong was scheduled to be a restricted free agent. Terms of his deal were not announced, but it's likely less than the $1.67 million tender for restricted free agents
3/8: As reported last week, the 49ers are among the teams showing interest in Tampa Bay free agent running back Doug Martin. However, it appears other teams are pursuing Martin more intensely than San Francisco. Martin was born in Oakland and grew up in Stockton. ***UPDATE*** The Tampa Bay Times reported late Tuesday that the Buccaneers were closing in on a deal to retain Martin for approximately $6.85 million a year.
3/8: The 49ers have placed the lowest-level tender, $1.671 million, on linebacker Michael Wilhoite, his agent said. That allows the 49ers to match any offer Wilhoite receives in free agency but they would receive no draft compensation if he is allowed to sign elsewhere. The 49ers also have tendered exclusive rights free agent Jordan Devey, a guard. If Devey makes the squad he would earn the league minimum, $600,000.
The 49ers have not tendered another restricted free agent, defensive lineman Tony Jerod-Eddie. They are believed to have offered him a longer-term deal instead. Jerod-Eddie will test the market and assess his worth -- in fact, his agent probably is doing so now -- before signing the deal. The 49ers have little depth along the defensive line heading into the offseason.
3/8: The NFL Network reported that the Raiders this week would sign perhaps the biggest fish in the free-agent market, offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele, to a deal on Wednesday. The 49ers were believed to have some interest in Osemele, but not at the price for which he ultimately will be signed, which reportedly will be for $11 million a year.
3/7: Seahawks free-agent guard J.R. Sweezy is garnering a lot of interest, and according to a league source, the 49ers are among the teams in the mix. They are expected to keep tabs on all of the top guards in the market, perhaps bailing to the next one on their list -- and so on, and so forth -- if the price grows too steep. Sweezy, of course, is familiar to them from the trench warfare they've undergone with the Seahawks over the years. Team officials may appreciate Sweezy's feistiness, although nose tackle Ian Williams, who is a free agent himself, probably isn't as keen on his style. After all, Sweezy broke Williams' ankle with a cut block three years ago.
3/7: As noted last week, the 49ers are expected to be in the market for cornerback Sean Smith. At 6-3, he'd be the biggest member of the secondary -- Chip Kelly has gone after big corners in the past -- and would presumably start opposite Tramaine Brock.
3/7: Radio host John Middlekauf wrote that the 49ers and Chiefs -- no stranger to trade deals -- have discussed a deal for Chiefs WR De'Anthony Thomas. Chip Kelly obviously is familiar witth Thomas having coached him at Oregon. Thomas is 5-9 and theoretically could fill the quasi-WR/RB role Darren Sproles had last year with the Eagles.

Gulu-Gulu Cafe
Gulu Gulu Cafe is a bohemian outpost offering hard-to-come-by craft beer, coffee, and light food.
Gulu Gulu Cafe is a bohemian outpost offering hard-to-come-by craft beer, coffee, and light food.
Marie Feldmannova and her husband, Steve Feldmann, named their quirky place for the cafe in Prague where they met.
Recalling the inspiration drawn from that Prague Cafe, Feldmann notes, "When we first started out, I don't think people knew what to make of us. We have music, but we aren't a club, we have food, but we aren't really a restaurant, and when people used to say 'cafe,' they would think Starbucks. We definitely aren't Starbucks." ... Gulu Gulu is more comparable to Hemingway's Closerie des Lilas.
– North Shore Magazine
Steve and Marie opened their first Gulu Gulu Cafe in Lynn in 2005. The Salem location was a better fit, and the Gulu Gulu you know today opened in 2007.
This popular coffeehouse teems with a motley mix of crunchy artists and trendy young professionals. Salem's endearing boho vibe is captured through the focus on visual and performance art, ... while local bands and singer-songwriters play [throughout the week]. And there's pure art in the food, which focuses on a wholesome, veggie-friendly assortment of soups, sandwiches and – most delightful of all – an expansive crepe menu of sweet and savory fillings.
– Zagat
Oftentimes, you will see the owners and the dedicated and quirky staff sitting back with a cup of locally brewed coffee or a fantastic pint of beer you simply can't find anywhere else. Feel free to say hello!
The mixture of the right amount of distraction, a dash of free wifi, a pinch of good vibes, and a sprinkle of freedom between coffee, wine, tea, or classy beer provides me the perfect balance between yuppy, real world Starbucks and old feel of the laid back college library.

The BBC's first ever list of its stars' salaries has revealed that its top earning male personality was paid at least four times as much as its highest-paid female.
The annual report shows that Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans earned between £2,200,000 and £2,249,999, while Strictly Come Dancing co-host Claudia Winkleman, the highest female earner, is ranked in the pay bracket of £450,000-£499,999.
The figures show that only one third of the list of talent earning more than £150,000 are women, with the top names being men as details of stars' pay was revealed in £50,000 bands.
Prime Minister Theresa May voiced her opinion on LBC as she criticised the BBC for paying women less than men for doing the same job and insisted the organisation must continue publishing its top salaries to prove it is tackling the problem.
Mrs May told the radio station it was important the BBC "looks at the whole question of how they pay women and how they pay men for doing the same job"
From BBC pay to Cabinet leaks. Hear @IainDale's exclusive interview with the Prime Minister now: https://t.co/4zu41YcSJD pic.twitter.com/88U3Vu9xDl— LBC (@LBC) July 19, 2017
The BBC has been forced to make the salary disclosures as part of negotiations with the Government for its new royal charter.
Sports pundit and presenter Gary Lineker is the second highest earner, bringing in between £1,750,000-£1,799,999, which is also nearly four times as much as BBC Sport's next highest earner, his Match Of The Day colleague and fellow ex-striker Alan Shearer, who is paid between £400,000-449,000.
Question Of Sport and tennis presenter Sue Barker is the best-paid woman at BBC Sport, earning between £300,000-£349,999.
The top 10 on the list of 96 talent includes just two women, Radio 2 host Winkleman (£450,000-£499,999) and The One Show presenter Alex Jones (£400,000-£449,999).
Speaking at a press conference to launch the annual report, BBC Director-General Lord Hall defended Evans' pay.
"Chris Evans is presenting the most popular show on the most popular radio network in Europe," Lord Hall said.
Tony Hall sets out BBC commitment on gender equality: https://t.co/I4NNTDY33K #BBCPay pic.twitter.com/WO1q4AkRaM— BBC Press Office (@bbcpress) July 19, 2017
"We do know that, for a number of presenters, they have been made offers by commercial radio.
"We've lost people…. to Amazon and to other big players … Also, the choice for some of our talent is to go and do something completely different because they're entertainers … that is the market we're dealing with."
However, stars such as Lineker could face significant pay cuts if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister, a Labour source indicated.
The source confirmed that Labour's promise of a maximum 20 to one ratio between the highest and lowest paid staff in public sector organisations would apply to those directly employed by the BBC.
Conservative former minister Anna Soubry told Radio 5 Live it was "a disgrace" that the BBC was required to disclose salaries and she could not defend Tory policy on the issue.
Graham Norton is listed as earning between £850,000 and £899,999 – but as the list only includes cash from licence fee payers, that does not include his chat show, for which the BBC pays an independent production company, which in turn pays his salary.
An ethnicity breakdown of the report also shows that the majority of top earning talent are white and only 11 people earning more than £150,000 are non-white. This means that, of the 96 names on the list of those who earn more than £150,000, 88.5% are white.
Lord Hall addressed the issue saying the corporation needed to "achieve the right balance when it comes to Bame (black, Asian and minority ethnic) talent".
Casualty star Derek Thompson, who has played Charlie Fairhead in the long-running medical drama, topped the list of highest earning actors with a pay bracket of between £350,000 and £399,000.
Long-time EastEnders cast member Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale, is one of the BBC One soap's top paid members at £200,000 to £249,000, along with newer recruit Danny Dyer (Mick Carter).
Top Gear's Matt LeBlanc is not on the list but it has not been disclosed whether he is paid £150,000 or more but from BBC Worldwide.
Lineker poked fun at the salary reveal on Twitter, writing: "This whole BBC salary exposure business is an absolute outrage…I mean how can @achrisevans be on more than me?"

BBC presenter Andrew Marr defended his £400,000-a-year salary, claiming he has turned down higher offers from the broadcaster's rivals.

Is 14nm Intel Corporation's Saving Grace?
Intel is a leading Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) and operates in the semiconductor industry. The company's activities range from the manufacture and design of chips to their distribution in various markets. Intel is the leader in the semiconductor industry with a market share exceeding 15%, followed by manufacturers such as TSMC.
The company predominantly generates its revenue from the personal computers segment. It has an approximately 84% share in the PC market and generated around 63% of its revenue from this segment. As we know that the PC industry is in a constant decline due to the growth of mobile and tablets, Intel's growth prospects will be affected directly unless the company diversifies into high-growth segments.
The graph clearly depicts that Intel's PC revenue is under pressure, and this is going to continue in the future as both IDC and Gartner believe that the PC market will shrink in the coming years.
The decline of the PC industry can hurt Intel severely because of its positioning. The reasons are:
- The company primarily focuses on the PC/laptop market unlike Advanced Micro Devices , which is shifting to custom chips and graphics.
- Intel is not breaking away from the x86 architecture, which is not as suitable as ARM for the mobile industry. It should be noted, however, that the power gap between ARM and x86 is narrowing. Other foundries manufacture both ARM and x86 and will not be affected as much by the decline of the PC industry.
- It is lagging in SoCs with advanced communication technologies such as LTE and, therefore, is not currently in competition with companies like Qualcomm . Intel's SoFIA SoC with 3G capabilities is expected in late 2014 whereas Qualcomm already offers the best integrated 4G solutions.
Therefore, it seems that Intel will be the most affected company as a result of the declining PC market.
Finding other avenues of growth must be Intel's top priority right now. The company is extending its efforts beyond PC and into cloud and mobile.
Cloud and data
Intel is trying to get exposure to the growth of cloud and big data. It recently invested $740 million in Cloudera, a leading data management company that uses the open source Hadoop cloud platform to provide data storage, management, and analytics services.
According to IDC the big data market is expected to reach $32 billion by 2017. Intel itself projects that the cloud and big data opportunity will be in excess of $50 billion by 2020. Therefore, investing in a leading data management company that has around 900 partners and 300 paying subscription customers seems to be a viable approach to offset the expected PC losses in the coming years.
The success of this development relies heavily on the growth and competitive advantages of Hadoop and the competitive position of Cloudera in a market that includes strong players like IBM. Nonetheless, with this move Intel is exposed to the benefits of cloud and big data and this is a definite positive.
The growth in mobile is ongoing and expected to continue in the future. Intel is responding to the rapidly growing and intensely competitive mobile market through its leading edge process technology: 14nm.
14nm is the most advanced process technology to date and Intel is the first company to develop chips based on 14nm. The company has announced that it will roll out its 14nm chip, codenamed Braswell, for mobile soon. Intel claims that 14nm delivers significant improvements in performance, power, and cost per transistor.
The performance and power will surely improve as packing more transistors in a lesser area tends to do that. But the Mckinsey Report disagrees on the cost/transistor claim. It concludes that the cost/transistor flattens below 28nm, and the overall expenditure will increase as a result of increased fabrication, process development, and chip design costs. Therefore, the cost advantage inherent in Moore's law is lost. Intel's 14nm may match the power of ARM but the costs of doing so will render the chips more expensive.
Moreover, performance and power are not the only crucial elements in earning design wins. Offering cost effective solutions with the latest communication technology is also vital. Intel's SoFIA LTE is not expected to be launched until 2015. Offering discrete modems, such as 7260 LTE , will not be a decisive success factor because integrated platforms are more cost effective and are also favored by the OEMs.
Qualcomm offers better SoCs currently in terms of power, cost, and connectivity. Intel's 14nm has not been released and once ARM adopts the 14nm process the power advantage will be lost again. The point is that x86 is intrinsically more power hungry than ARM and Intel must embrace ARM in order to be the true leader of the semiconductor industry.
Bottom line
Intel is currently the leader in the semiconductor industry but the decline of PC can be a threat. It is trying to offset anticipated future losses in the PC business by investing in the cloud and improving process technology to gain traction in the mobile arena. This cloud and big data strategy is likely to pay off in the long run.
On the other hand, the company is facing cost issues with its 14nm technology and competition from ARM. It is also behind in offering SoCs with advanced connectivity. Intel can stay relevant based on its current offerings and roadmap products for mobile but it should embrace ARM in order to dominate the semiconductor industry.

Spinlocks are the lowest-level mutual exclusion mechanism in the Linux kernel. As such, they have a great deal of influence over the safety and performance of the kernel, so it is not surprising that a great deal of optimization effort has gone into the various (architecture-specific) spinlock implementations. That does not mean that all of the work has been done, though; a patch merged for 2.6.25 shows that there is always more which can be done.
On the x86 architecture, in the 2.6.24 kernel, a spinlock is represented by an integer value. A value of one indicates that the lock is available. The spin_lock() code works by decrementing the value (in a system-wide atomic manner), then looking to see whether the result is zero; if so, the lock has been successfully obtained. Should, instead, the result of the decrement option be negative, the spin_lock() code knows that the lock is owned by somebody else. So it busy-waits ("spins") in a tight loop until the value of the lock becomes positive; then it goes back to the beginning and tries again.
Once the critical section has been executed, the owner of the lock releases it by setting it to 1.
This implementation is very fast, especially in the uncontended case (which is how things should be most of the time). It also makes it easy to see how bad the contention for a lock is - the more negative the value of the lock gets, the more processors are trying to acquire it. But there is one shortcoming with this approach: it is unfair. Once the lock is released, the first processor which is able to decrement it will be the new owner. There is no way to ensure that the processor which has been waiting the longest gets the lock first; in fact, the processor which just released the lock may, by virtue of owning that cache line, have an advantage should it decide to reacquire the lock quickly.
One would hope that spinlock unfairness would not be a problem; usually, if there is serious contention for locks, that contention is a performance issue even before fairness is taken into account. Nick Piggin recently revisited this issue, though, after noticing:
On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable, with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!) times.
This sort of runtime difference is certainly undesirable. But lock unfairness can also create latency issues; it is hard to give latency guarantees when the wait time for a spinlock can be arbitrarily long.

How to create great greenery/
Mats matter: Do not dismiss the idea of using grass mats. They're not the bland, uniform things of yesteryear and some of today's are very realistic. Even a uniform, bright, budget mat is perfect for the base later of scenery. You can improve it with subsequent layers of static grass and tufts.
Flowers are simple: To create a patch of poppies or daffodils, for example, sprinkle some tiny pieces of suitably coloured foam scatter through your fingers on top of the wet hairspray. Seal them with another light coating. If some flowers go where you don't want them, pluck them off with a pair of tweezers.
Nature's not uniform: You can't take a swatch to your lawn to find a correct 'grass' colour. To replicate the myriad colours nature bestows on the landscape, mix different colours of static grass in your applicator. Make sure you also apply grass fibres of different heights. WW Scenics offers one of the bet ranges of heights and colours.
Tree restoration: Miniature trees can fade with ages but it's very easy to restore their vibrancy. Give an old tree a good coat of extra-hold hairspray and then sprinkle on a selection of new scatters. They will stick to the hairspray and will make your tree look brand new.

She made sure that she caught all of the pictures we wanted on our big day, plus caught all the extra little moments that we didn't know we wanted but now we will cherish them forever. Lindsey takes gorgeous pictures and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera both at our engagement session and during wedding portraits. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great photographer for any moment in their lives, I know we will be using her in the future."

Doing something awesome? Have a story that may inspire people for good and spread happiness? Share your story with us.
Recently, the first edition of a Paris-based French Curiosity Club (FCC) was held in a Mumbai's Bandra restaurant. It aims to bring curiosity and women together to inspire more women. This project is the brainchild of Margaux Hammer, and this all-women club is dominated by meaningful conversations, encouraging words. And no, they have nothing against men!
A woman with an interesting story takes center-stage, unfolding a life of inspiration to those present there. This is where the group steps in and acts as a facilitator to forge new bonds with other women — they may be from different walks of life, but are united by similar goals.
"When we search for speakers, we emphasize on their personality and on authenticity," says Hammer, "It might be someone we heard about from our community or someone we saw in the newspapers and then connected with them through social media. There isn't just one way to make our choice, but the watchword for every FCC team in the world is: Be daring."
In the presence of 81 participants, stuntwoman Geeta Tandon (32) flagged this particular edition. Before delivering the talk she had also taken English speaking classes. Overcoming the loss of her mother and abusive marriage, she took her chances in the industry to become a stuntwoman.
While talking to Business Times, she said, "Mujhe inki wajah se English bolne ka chance mila and I'm very happy with the experience. I would always imagine speaking to a large crowd in English aur aaj woh sapna poora hua hai. Ek hi life hai… enjoy karo! Be your own support. Aaj tak main jaisa support chahti thi woh nahi mila. So, we need to trust ourselves and go with the flow."
Apart from that, Miss India World 2011 Kanishtha Dhankhar was also present at the event and said, "Geeta's story was super-inspiring. From her talk, I gather that it's important to keep jumping over the well and not avoid conflicts in life. I'm happy to be here and celebrate womanhood."
Women from French community were also present in the crowd in large numbers. One such attendee, Laura Ayesha said "I am here to explore newer avenues and meet interesting women as I am planning to get back to work. I want to network and figure out something new for myself."
One of the organizing members of FCC Mumbai, Johanna Alva said that the initiative is a space for anyone who is curious enough to take the leap. Through this, women from all strata of the society can come forward and speak for themselves and feel free to share anything.
The next session is likely to be held in September and might include some men too.

Survive (and Thrive) after a Job Layoff
Take a little time to process the layoff
Any job layoff, whether it be a complete surprise or an expected event, can create enormous stress and take a toll on your immediate health. Take a few days to just be good to yourself and process the layoff. Make sure you get quality sleep, catch up with your family, and invest a little time in favorite hobbies you may have neglected. After a few days, you can look at the situation with fresh eyes, focusing on practical aspects rather than emotional ones.
Get a handle on paperwork and practicalities
Don't delay - make sure you know how to extend your health benefits, if necessary, by applying for COBRA coverage. Find out how and where to apply for unemployment, and determine how long these benefits will last. When you have a general idea of unemployment income (and factor in any severance package, as well) sit down and crunch the budget numbers. Figure out what monthly expenses will arise during this transitional time, and create ways to cut costs.
Cut costs wherever you can
Food is one area where you can slash spending dramatically, often without much effort. Use coupons and shoppers club cards. Look out for bargains on items (like chicken or beef) that a "freezer meal" can be centered around. Recipes using the sale items can be prepared in portions and frozen for later use. Upscale coffee shops are one of the biggest money drains; if you've been ordering daily lattes and espresso drinks, consider making your coffee at home. Buy some inexpensive add-ins, like real cream, so you don't feel deprived.
The cable or satellite TV bill can be another source of extra income; whittle it down to a basic package and remove premium channels, or cut the bill out completely. You might be able to access just local network channels, or watch your favorite shows on one of many inexpensive online portals like Hulu.
You may also talk to your insurance agent about temporary adjustments to your car or home insurance which could net you some extra cash. You could raise deductibles or remove some optional coverages. It's usually easy to adjust these again once you have steady employment.
What is the hardest part of a job layoff?
Get dressed - every single day
Don't let inertia chip away at your sense of self worth. Even though this is a time of stress and difficult transition, don't let yourself slide. Do NOT wear loungewear or pajamas throughout the day. Get dressed immediately after your morning routine, and wear clothes that you will not be embarrassed to be seen in. Keep up with your regular grooming routine as well, whether it involves makeup, shaving, regular hair trims, or getting weekly manicures. You want to look presentable in case of an impromptu networking opportunity, but most of all, you want to feel proud of the way you look to the world.
Update your resumé
After the layoff, take advantage of extra time to invest in a quality resumé. Never explain the reason for a layoff on your resumé; save this for an interview, where it will be easier to give a positive explanation. Focus on your experience, cut down on the wordiness, and offer specific, measurable examples of how you've helped your company. If you've successfully cut big costs for your company, made processes more efficient, or served on an accomplished team that won awards or recommendations, mention these achievements in a prominent spot.
It doesn't hurt to cast a wide net if you wish to apply for jobs in several different industries; if you do this, however, make sure to tailor each resumé version carefully and remove irrelevant experience and education. Above all other objectives, your resumé needs to convince the employer how you can help them. It's not about what kind of position would best fit you; it's about how you can help them accomplish their vision and goals.
Explore all career avenues
Be wise about your job search. Take a honest assessment of your skills and goals, and determine what path you will need to take to get there. If you need money now, explore temporary work options; don't let pride keep you from maintaining a regular income. It may not be comparable in pay rate to your last salary, but temporary work can be wonderful at keeping your morale up and your bank account healthy.
If you'd like to remain in the same industry, reach out to old networking contacts and keep up to date on business developments. Stay active on several job boards and sites, and use multiple recruiters to maximize your interview opportunities.
Want to take a chance on another field entirely? Now is the ideal time to do it. Attend job fairs and sign up for classes to gain additional skills. Find out if you can line up some casual informational interviews, to get a better idea of whether a career is a good fit. If it looks promising, register for any necessary licensing exams. If possible, and if it's not too much of a financial burden, get this licensing done early, and you will appear to recruiters as a very proactive candidate.
Your layoff could be a new beginning
Traumatic life events happen to all of us, and it's difficult to imagine them in a positive light. A layoff, though, can present a perfect opportunity to reassess your life and goals, and tackle new challenges. You stand at a crossroads in your career, and you're offered a unique opportunity to take chances that you might never have dreamed of doing otherwise.

J.J. Watt has accomplished incredible things — on and off the field — by thinking positively.
If he makes his latest plan come through, it might be his most impressive feat.
Via James Palmer of NFL Network, Watt says he believes that missing two seasons with injuries could help extend his career.
Per his theory, not taking the pounding of the 2016 and 2017 seasons (when he played a combined eight games) could add two seasons to the end of his career.
"I don't want to leave the game anytime soon," Watt said. "I wouldn't trade if for anything else in the world."
The 30-year-old Watt came back to start all 16 games last year, and had 16.0 sacks and seven forced fumbles, so he can clearly play at a high level.
But the cumulative effect of multiple back surgeries in 2016 and the knee problems that sidelined him in 2017 aren't typically the kinds of things that make a man feel young again.
Again, Watt's track record suggests that betting against him might not be wise, even if it doesn't follow the conventional histories of big men in the NFL. Coming back last year to play at an All-Pro level suggests that with him, anything's possible.

This is kinda weird. I've compiled the latest GZDoom commit as of this writing (703cb9cf), and there's two ways I've found to crash the game nearly instantly.
The first way is to add a console command to the command line (assertion fails). I can reliably cause GZDoom to crash within two seconds with the command `gzdoom -config /dev/null -iwad ~/.iwads/doom2.wad +echo "butt"`. Changing the command to "eval + 1 1" crashes too. Setting a CVar (eg. "sv_freelook 0") doesn't crash. Here's the backtrace (although it doesn't look that useful): https://www.hastebin.com/rajiwodebi.txt
The other way I can get the game to crash is if I use the automap key on the title screen (access violation). The command is the same as the first, minus the echo line. Here's the backtrace: https://www.hastebin.com/ebeciyobil.txt
I'm not sure if these occur on Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
