ST. LOUIS (AP) - More than half of U.S. counties now are classified by the federal government as natural disaster areas mostly because of the drought.
The U.S. Agriculture Department on Wednesday added 218 counties in a dozen states as disaster areas. That brings this year's total to 1,584 in 32 states, more than 90% of them because of the drought.
The latest additions make drought-affected farmers and ranchers eligible for federal aid including emergency loans.
The USDA also announced ranchers may access some 3.8 million acres of conservation land for haying and grazing, and crop insurance companies have agreed to provide farmers a penalty-free grace period on insurance premiums in 2012.
Counties included in the announcement are in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.

Inspirational Spaces to Get Your Work On
RealSimple.com came up with 21 ways to keep your home office clean and organized. While their tips are helpful – "A clear plastic desk and chair are unobtrusive in a bedroom" – their home office photos are inspirational.
We love the painted orange brick wall next to the office nook in the lower right corner. It makes that massive printer seem a little less massive and bit more fun. The wallpaper and powder blue hallway console makes for an adorable workspace, and the rolling metal desk in the kitchen just seems so convenient for those with small spaces to work in...

How might we create the easiest way for companies to manage their employees' ground transportation expenses?
I spent the summer of 2016 as a Product Designer at Uber HQ, and as a KPCB Fellow. I was on the Uber for Business team, designing features that would allow workers to take rides on their company accounts. With its enterprise audience, designing for Uber for Business is uniquely complex: in addition to understanding the preferences of the regular ridesharing customer, we also need to understand business transportation needs - processes, management structure, expensing, and different types of job routines. Over the summer, I designed 3 features, including the UberEvents product, and also completely overhauled the Uber for Business marketing site.
3.5 monthsCATEGORIES
- User research
- Information architecture
- UX design
- Web design
- Prototyping
- Project Management
Product Designer on a team of 6. Led the design process for the assigned features and drove conversations with Product, Research, Engineering and Marketing.
The Process
Throughout the summer, the team's Senior Design Researcher and I worked closely in several ways: organizing and running user interviews, digging into her past insights, or crafting quick user journeys.
I then brainstormed and sketched various approaches to the solution, tested them, and refined until I reached a solution that was well-received. Throughout the process I'd seek regular feedback from design colleagues, as well as colleagues in other roles e.g. our PM, Engineering, and Marketing. Various tools - sketches, mockups, digital prototypes - were used to validate ideas.
Feature Project: Website Redesign
The Uber for Business website was in its old brand (see below) and the content and structure of the website needed a refresh as the product continued to grow and change rapidly.
Working off input from Product Marketing, Research, Sales, we rethought the whole structure and aesthetic of the site. The goal was to be extremely clear on what the product is and how different roles (admins versus employees) could use it.
The new site was launched in September 2016.
KPCB Fellowship
Kleiner Perkins (KPCB), the Silicon Valley VC firm, holds an annual Fellowship program where they select several Design, Engineering, and Product Fellows and place them in their portfolio companies. Over the summer, we attended talks by Silicon Valley investors such as YCombinator, and by leaders of portfolio companies such as Nuna Health and Fin. John Maeda also arranged for us to meet design leaders. I got to know alumni Fellows, many who have gone on to become entrepreneurs.

Volunteers at the Centre for Computing History recently met to discuss the first steps in fitting out the charity's new premises in Cambridge, England. The founder and director, Jason Fitzpatrick, is a friend, so my husband and I had been 'voluntold' that we would be involved with the project from the ground up. This is the record of how a museum becomes a living, breathing, paying space from starting life as an empty warehouse with no electricity or heat.
How to Build a Museum from Scratch
by WordChazer
Ever wondered how a museum gets started? The Centre for Computing History's new location is due to open later this year and this series of articles will follow progress.
Take One Warehouse
From empty warehouse to functioning museum in six months
There is a warehouse close to the railway line in Cambridge. Until recently it was empty, cold and unloved. No electricity, no heat, no people. The last tenants had left some time before.
The Centre for Computing History heard about the site and put in a bid some time back, but it was only a few weeks ago that they finalised the deal. They took possession soon after and asked for supporters to assist with the mountain of moving that would ensue. There are 17,000 items in hundreds of boxes, so it will be a lengthy process. The contents are all carefully indexed, as the boxes contain a mixture of assorted kit, paperwork and instruction manuals. The current storage facility a few miles away in Haverhill contains all manner of retro technical gear, just some of which will be on show at any one time. In March 2013, when the keys were handed over, the volunteers started to move just some of the hardware across to the new facility, along with various bits of promotional backing, sets and other items suitable to set up a few initial displays to tempt the paying public.
As we quickly discovered, every skill we possess will be used in the coming months. Tasks needing to be undertaken range from writing marketing and promotional material to painting, decorating, tea-making, shifting kit and connecting/debugging it. And that's just for starters. The warehouse needs some work before it is suitable to let visitors in, not to mention planning where everything should be sited, adhering to health and safety issues, fire regulations and other requirements for opening any location to the public.
So, What Next?
Disabled toilets, fire escapes and maximum occupancy regulations
Firstly the team of founder volunteers were given a guided tour of the premises, together with a summary of the required health and safety regulations covering running a museum.
On entry, the paying customer will move into the foyer area. At present, this is envisaged to have arcade games strategically placed to entertain punters before entering the museum, a shop and cafe, and a card-controlled entry system to the museum area itself. Paid entry will be regulated by a receptionist/cashier volunteer. Annual passes allowing repeat visits free of charge will be available.
In this area there has to be a toilet suitable for use by wheelchair users and other disabled patrons, as specified in the UK laws. This may also be able to double as a baby-change location, allowing families to feel welcome too. The nearby shopping area at the Beehive Centre may pull in some visitors, especially dads and sons bored with mums and daughters wanting to spend time in retail therapy.
Depending on the location and number of fire escapes, the number of visitors can increase to around 150 at any time. The warehouse area can easily accommodate this number plus equipment, so space is not a problem.
The foyer divides neatly into the reception space and a further area near the museum's planned entrance. This is earmarked for a classroom-style environment for around 30 pupils, where they will learn about the history of computing, try out basic coding and immerse themselves in the experience of writing simple computer games.
The Mezzanine Floor
Upstairs in the roof space, where the staff go
The foyer area has a mezzanine floor, accessible from both the foyer and the warehouse. This will be restricted access for staff only, and will be where the museum's administration and machine repairs are carried out. Presently it contains a stack of boxes, several large desks and plush chairs which, I am reliably informed, came from an old BBC building (not TV Centre, before you all ask!)
This area looks like becoming perhaps something of a refuge for the staff, a hub of behind-the-scenes activity and a place to hone existing computer repair skills, perhaps whilst learning something new too.
There we convened to discuss tactics:
- How best to prepare the space for museum use
- Use of paid experts vs volunteer knowledge
- What repairs or renovations to carry out first
- Initial ideas for publicity, places to advertise and how to spread the word
- The challenges of charity fundraising (many crowdsource sites do not accept charities)
- Involvement of the main software and computer-related firms and University departments
- The all-important opening event
There is an enormous list of tasks to be completed before the museum can open and an equally impressive list of ideas on how best to complete them. Some of the volunteers are specialists in one area, such as fundraising or computer repair. Others will turn their hand to many things, handling a paintbrush with as much ease as a screwdriver, for instance.
Future Plans, Hopes and Dreams
Start small, build big
Some of the team is at Gadget Show Live this weekend, having been invited to exhibit by the organisers. Other volunteers are knuckling down to work on renovation plans, costs, rotas, publicity and all the million-and-one other things which we are rapidly finding go with the administration of a museum.
With patrons including Dr Hermann Hauser, the technology entrepreneur best known for his involvement with Acorn and ARM, the museum is already attracting attention. Items from its collection have regularly been seen in film and TV shows recreating the period, including The IT Crowd. The existing museum location in Haverhill has been used for filming by several companies, and it is hoped that the new museum in Cambridge will be even more enticing, with plans for digital arts parties, technology launches, corporate events and maybe even wedding receptions being discussed for the future.
But for now, the next task is probably going to involve becoming reacquainted with the joys of paint in my hair whilst helping the team spruce up the venue prior to setting up the first machines.
WordChazer, Are there regular fire, health and safety inspections? Are there surprise visits or do check-ups follow a predictable schedule?
My ultimate pipe-dream would be to have a museum of local history here in Cheshire. I know it is unattainable fo me ...but there it is..... My dream.
What a job! It's amazing what you all have accomplished! It must be wonderful to look back and be proud of what you brought into being.
That's what I thought. Have a few more articles to submit in this series too, as there's been a lot of work ongoing lately and the big opening weekend is this coming Saturday. The preview went really well so I'm confident even if the founder is bricking himself!
Interesting.... Funny how it seems that museums are places that have always BEEN, interesting to see how they actually start.
That's what you'll get, Elias. I'm working on part 2 at the moment, part 3 to follow and hopefully fortnightly or so updates from there until opening and maybe even beyond ;-)
Well, I would be really interested to see how your story progress. Setting up a museum sounds like a very complex process and it would be really nice to be able to read a step by step guide.
Thanks Jo! I'm hoping the director will approve as he has yet to read the article - he was at Gadget Show Live all weekend and my husband and I both think there is nothing to cause him pause here (so far..he wait!)
It is very exciting to be in on the ground floor of such a startup adventure - and to have the chance to write about it too. Hope to see you there one day?
This all sounds very exciting! What a thing to be involved in. And congratulations on your Editor's Choice Award!
Thanks Katie ;-) That's just the first article. I plan on writing more as we go through the process of decorating, outfitting, laying out exhibits and so on. It's a big bare, freezing cold warehouse with strip lighting and a pile of boxes in one corner at the moment. I became involved in event staffing last year with another techie friend (the guy organising Silicon Dreams) and was well bitten by the bug, so this is the natural progression, especially as the director of the charity is a friend of my husband.

Unbridled's Note, runner-up in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1), emerged victorious as the favorite in the $76,900 Joe Hernandez H. over the Santa Anita downhill turf course Saturday afternoon. The 4-year-old colt by Unbridled's Song earned an impressive 103 Beyer Speed Figure for the performance.
Under jockey Corey Nakatani, Unbridled's Note broke keenly and rattled off fractions of :21.44 and :44.05 seconds in the 6 ½-furlong race. After crossing over the dirt into the stretch, he found his best stride and put in his usual good finish in the niche sprint on grass, gamely turning back multiple stakes winner Chips All In to hit the wire first in 1:11.17 – just a few ticks off the Santa Anita course record set by 2009 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner California Flag.
Unbridled's Note increased his bankroll to $457,581 with his fourth victory from 10 lifetime starts, including a win in the Eddie D. Stakes (G3) on the same hillside turf course at Santa Anita last September.
"We're glad to get him going again," said Scott Blasi, assistant to trainer Steve Asmussen. "These down-the-hill races, there isn't anything easy about them."

Eddie Perez was just a couple of years into his tenure with The Mavericks when the band shattered, fragile glass hitting a tile floor and exploding into jagged pieces. Those years before their 2004 breakup, he concedes now, weren't much fun.
Perez is a veteran rock guitarist who has played with Dwight Yoakam, Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack and others. But when the group first assembled back in the studio four years ago, he was uneasy.
"After doing music all these years with so many artists," he says, "I can tell you it's rare for me to get nervous or apprehensive, very rare. But the first time we came together after many years apart in the studio making "In Time," I was nervous. "
"But once we put the headphones on and Raul (Malo) said it goes like this and here's the song, from that moment, it was like no time had gone by at all. It was quite bizarre to tell you the truth."
They did "Back in Your Arms," that first song, in one take, the first time they played it as a band.
"That was an amazing feeling," Perez adds. "We're talking about a nine-year break. We didn't see each other in the same room for that many years. To come together in a studio setting it was as if no time had gone by. We went from elation to wow, this is a chance to do this thing right again."
The Mavericks were back, better than ever. "In Time" earned plaudits. The eclectic follow-up, "Mono," drew universal raves and led to their recent live album, "All Night Live Vol. 1."
"We started instantly realizing how good we play together," he adds.
Everybody was, uh, more mature, Perez notes. They'd meandered through life's experiences, had kids, and played with other artists. Malo had gone off and done solo discs, experimenting with different genres. "Lucky for us he brings his experiences to what we're doing now and it's been a completely brand new day for us," he adds. "It really is a celebration. To be able to come back and have a second act like this is pretty much unheard of."
The band appears at The Sandler Center in Virginia Beach on Dec. 7.
The Mavericks of 2016 are a dramatically different band than the one that burst on the scene in 1991 and landed 14 singles on the Billboard country charts over the next 12 years. Oh, they can honky tonk like they did on "What a Crying Shame." They can blend in Latin music to make you shake and bake. They can swing like an old big band. They can get down and dirty with the blues. They can shape a ballad like few other bands.
Malo's love for Roy Orbison, Hank Williams, Gram Parsons, Elvis Presley and George Jones still shines through his vocals. The man may be the finest crooner today.
"His voice is one of a kind that doesn't come along often," Perez says. "And he sounds that good at 7 o'clock in the morning on some TV show after a night of martinis and cigars. It blows us away. I think if anything his voice has gotten better."
The recent albums have taken the band into ever more varied terrain with songs that would not be out of place on albums by the The Specials, Buena Vista Social Club or a Latin dance disc.
"It is such a luxury to be a musician in a band like this that gets to explore without being confined. We explore all the musical genres that have turned us on and that we have been students of ourselves," he says. "We all great up on the American songbook. We were inspired by all that, but we're also complete audiophiles. We collect records. We still shop at record stores looking for records we don't have. I'm big into jazz. There are a lot of influences there."
"We just try to make the best, most honest fun feeling music that we can."
In short, The Mavericks have become their own genre, labels be damned.
"When we're making this music and writing this stuff, we're not really conscious and aware of the specific style of song or style of guitar playing," he adds. "We get in there and let it happen on its own, let it see where it takes us."
He acknowledges that when he goes back and listens to the early records, it's easy to hear the dramatic evolution.
They are also now on their own label with the live album their first offering. Perez says it's a natural evolution. "We're very hands on everything that has to do with this business from the music and the writing to playing together in the studio and going out and touring," he says. "It seemed like a natural progression."
The live show — they've played about 120 dates a year since getting back together — is the core of The Mavericks. "Our shows are pretty much parties every night," he adds. "On the bus, grooving, getting into that head space. When we hit the stage it's a party and afterwards it's a party. We all missed playing music together."
Perez says the band's renewed passion shows on the disc. "I can attest to how much fun we're all having right now," he says.
"I can't say that was always the case," he adds, laughing.

I ma very excited to share that I am oficially engaged to my cuddle buddy! 😀
I had chosen the ring 6 months ago, in March. I knew it was coming, but he definitely took his time… which worked because I was completely blindsided.
We are not the talking on the phone all the time/ texting a ton type, and yesterday he was IM'ing me alllll day, which I found strange. He also mentioned he would go to the gym with me after work, but flaked out when I called him on my way there, saying I would meet him at home. After my workout, he texted me again asking me if I was done. By then I was a bit annoyed, and called him to ask what he needed. He said he wanted me to go to the grocery store and buy mozzarella and strawberries- that should have been my clue, who the hell needs these two ingredients for any kind of recipe-. I obliged, and got home after dark. I saw that there was an orange-ish tinge to the windows, and thought "omg the house is on fire". I ran upstairs, and… there were a ton of candles lit everywhere. He was leaning against the wall, dressed to the nines- he hates dressing up, so I was impressed.
Still- I gasped, and went straight into survival mode- I wanted to run away! He caught me and asked me to sit on the sofa. I walked towards the living room but kept stopping and turning back, I swear. I finally got there, and he turned on the TV. He had a slideshow of all of our best moments over the past 4 years, and I just started laughing uncontrollably. He had a speech prepared, but I was laughing so much he just read the first 2 or so sentences before dropping to one knee and asking me to marry him. I said "sure, I'll marry your ass" ! I guess he didn't mind because I still got the ring. 🙂

It will take more than shirt-sleeve pleas from state-fair gazebos and lunches with workers at auto plants for Ronald Reagan to drive away with the Michigan's elec toral votes.
Much of the GOP nominee's 1980 game plan rides with his appeal to the largely Democratic, ethnic, working-class voters found in Michigan -- whose auto industry has served as the pace car for American recession, unemployment, and loss of competitive edge to foreign products.
The target is not Michigan alone, but the several Great Lakes states -- Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin -- with concentrations of auto assembly plants and rubber, steel, and other auto-related industries. Even Pennsylvania shares a Great Lakes Coast and the region's jobless doldrums.
But in Michigan, a key test of his success, Mr. Reagan has a narrow edge at best. In the absence of polls, nobody is quite sure just where the race stands. Republican Gov. William G. Milliken -- himself adept at winning Democratic workers's votes -- puts Reagan "a little ahead."
Milliken, hosting Reagan's two-day Michigan visit this week, indicated the GOP nominee must go beyond fault-finding with Carter and spell out his own steps to aid Michigan industry. So far, Reagan has mentioned broad-gauge economic solutions, such as tax cuts to spur business investment and cutting government red tape so US industry can better compete abroad.
Reagan told Detroit auto workers Tuesday at Chrysler's Jefferson plant: "Jimmy Carter has promised Detroit his administration will ease the burden of regulation by tinkering with a few environmental test procedures. I can promise you my administration won't do just a little tinkering. We'll give government regulation a major overhaul, and prove you don't have to lay people off to have clean air, safe cars, and good fuel economy.
"It's time to get the heavy hand of government off the backs of American industry, and that's just what I'd like to do."
He added: "There . . . is a place where government can be legitimately involved -- and that is to convince the Japanese that in one way or another, and for their own best interests, that deluge of their cars into the United States must be slowed while our industry gets back on its feet."
Reagan did not indicate how we would bring pressure to bear on the Japanese. An aide said later he was not talking about import restrictions, but rather diplomatic talks with Japanese officials. He also was not proposing legislative remedies, according to the aide.
As to the Reagan-Carter contest in Michigan, a neutral observer of state politics says: "It's a watery situation. Carter may actually be ahead now. But this state can still be won or lost by either man.
"Milliken's very popular here, and he's pulling out all the tops for Reagan. Ford's going to stump this state heavily for Reagan. Labor's going to do as much as it can for Carter.
"Milliken may be the key," said the source. "He thinks Reagan can win. More people are out of work in this state than any time since the '30s. The state's unemployment is more than 14 percent. Flinths unemployment is the highest in the nation.
"But Michigan is an Anderson state, too. There are more independents in Michigan than anybody else. The lead could change four times by election day."
In interviews, Michigan voters reflect a feeling that Mr. Carter let them bear the brunt of anti-inflation policy -- a point they thought he tried to avoid by skipping the once- traditional Detroit Labor Day parade appearance by Democratic presidential nominees. But they are not sure Reagan is their man either.
"No one really knows who Ronnie is," says Bruce Penner, a young food broker who lives at the southern end of the Toledo-Detroit-Bay City auto plant axis.
"I'm not thrilled with any of the three," Mr. Penner says. "I wish there was a box on the ballot for none of the above.
"Jimmy Carter finally realizes what he's up against -- but it's a little late. If Reagan can keep his foot out of his mouth, Reagan can win. There's general dissatisfaction with Carter.
"It's a miserable choice. You don't hear people talking over lunch about the election. The issues are very undefined. and who knows what Reagan would do differently?
"Who's been letting all those little Japanese cars come in here? It's really Chrysler's, GM's, and Ford's fault. The gut problem is people won't buy the big hog. But Jimmy carter takes the heat."
Guy Ramazetti, a shopworker from Allen Park -- and a neighbor of the family visited by Reagan for a Labor Day barbecue with jobless Detroiters -- has never voted for a Republican before. He finds it hard to think of going to the polls at all in 1980.
"They're the same," he says of the nominees. "It's stupid for Reagan to say Taiwan is China, Mainland China is China. There's a billion people in mainland China.
"I never did vote Republican before. But now the Democrats blew it. They're not for the workingman any more. Carter can't be trusted. On things like medical care he promised one thing and did the opposite." Mr. Ramazetti seems inclined to follow Governor Milliken's lead. "Milliken's a very good governor," Ramazetti said. "He's not a conservative. He's a real middle-of-the-roader. A lot of Democrats voted for him and a lot will vote Republican this time. They don't know what Reagan is going to do, but they sure know what Carter is."

NEW YORK: Jisne pee nahin whisky, kismat phoot gayi uski — Amitabh Bachchan in Sharaabi, released 1984.
31 years later, that's a fairly accurate picture of how the average Indian gets hammered, says a sweeping 82 page WHO report on global alcohol usage.
9 in 10 Indians knock back whisky, rum, vodka —- anything that's not beer and wine. The local stuff - hooch and its many deadly cousins are not included in this data set.
After fighting and winning a five phase election - with the Opposition campaign headlined by India's prime minister in a state of more than 100 million people, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's first big announcement of no booze has kicked in. Bihar on Sunday also banned the sale of toddy in public places after reports that locals have turned to toddy shops.
Non resident Biharis are positive this will continue to drive poorer folks to more deadly potions and roll out a new gravy train for Bihar's police in the name of enforcement.
Jharkhand, Maharashtra and opposition parties in Tamil Nadu have also joined the prohibition clamour, raising a toast to "hero" Nitish Kumar.
Gujarat, which Modi ruled before he became prime minister, is nominally dry since 1950.
"You planning to come? I can offer you enough booze to soak yourself," says Preeti Das, Gujarat's only woman stand-up comedian. Das lives in the heart of Ahmedabad.
Outright prohibition has a poor record, Gujarat's hooch mafia is flourishing, people continue to die from bad moonshine.
The Economic Times calls banning booze Nitish Kumar's first blunder, the story is informed by similar experiments which lost fizz in India's north east region. The Mint says ditto.
What do Biharis in America say?
In a final swipe against Modi before the final phase of voting in Bihar, Nitish Kumar called upon Biharis to vote for one of them rather than a Bahari (outsider), referring to Modi.
What about Biharis in America, part of the diaspora that increasingly underwrites Indian politicians' veneer abroad?
Bhawesh Choudhary, chief of the Bihar and Jharkhand Association of North America, populalrly called BAJANA, came to New York from Patna 20 years ago, he will vote for the next American president and continues "to have strong links back home".
"Acceptance" and "image" in social circles dominated by America's immigration boom takes centrestage here when he "drinks".
"We conduct ourselves very nicely here. What people think of you is important. We can't do what we may have done in Patna" says Choudhary.
Anil Mishra, a financial risk manager with Deutshe Bank, also Bihari and BAJANA member, is more folksy: "Yahaan daroo peekar naale mein girte hue kisi ko nahin dekha. (Unlike in Bihar, I've never seen anyone in Europe or America sloshed and tumbling into a wayside drain."
"A liquor ban won't work," says Mishra, a Jamshedpur-bred engineer.
"When I go back to Bihar and I don't find liquor, I'll drive to Jamshedpur. Tying liquor consumption to driving will work, bans have never worked," says Mishra, a "social drinker" during his longish stint in Europe and America.
Even Biharis in Bangalore agree: "They had to ban something to avoid civil war, so they banned liquor instead of the real killer Khaini -- local tobacco," says Manish Jaiswal, who has carved out a new life in this southern city.
In America, a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) ticket is the first in a series of blows, which usually ends up in higher insurance premiums, and depending on the state laws, jail terms too.
America's drink driving laws across its 50 states are mirrored in both how liquor stores are stocked and the WHO data: 5 in 10 Americans drink beer and only 3 in 10 go for hard liquor.
America quaffs less hard liquor and much more wine and beer. Californian wine, Pinot and Merlot are bestsellers; sweet wines rank lowest on the pecking order. Jack Daniels? What's that?
Average Indian swigs 8 litres
Walk into any bar in India, after 7 pm. Small chance you'll find anyone raising their glasses to a wet yesterday and dry tomorrow.
At 8.3 litres of alcohol per citizen per year, Kerala's consumption is the highest in India. Most Muslims and many Hindus in Kerala are teetotal, as are most women. Kerala's chief minister is bulldozing his way to close dozens of liquor shops each year; his aim: to make India's hardest drinking state booze-free in a decade.
Does that make a difference? Inconvenience, yes. Deterrent, no.
Neighbouring Mahe is selling liquor at Union Territory rates, "guided tours" available.
India, China drinking more
Globally the world is drinking more as Indian states rush to shutter down liquor shops or claim they will.
"This trend is mainly driven by an increase consumption in China and India, which is linked to increased income in these countries," says the WHO report'.
In China, the bulk of the "spirits" market is supplied by local stuff.
The "average" Indian drinker consumes 8 litres of alcohol per year;
9 in 10 women are "lifetime abstainers".
If you weave these "abstainers" into the data analysis, it just means many are drinking far more than the average amount.
Indians are tipping the scales on the dangerous side in the number of years of life lost. On a scale of 1-5, the Indian average is 4, which is not adjusted to state averages which may be higher because of the number of teetotals.
Bad moonshine
India's alcohol dependance is also higher than the South Asian average. What they're getting tipsy on is hard liquor.
The taste for whisky, a hard glare at anyone suggesting a peg measure, bias for European brands and single malts all trace roots to the British empire.
In high-income countries only 8.5% of all alcohol consumed consists of unrecorded alcohol, whereas in low-income and lower middle income countries more than 40% of all alcohol consumed is unrecorded alcohol, which is commonly cheaper and accounts for more swigs per person.
The 8 litre figure for average Indian's consumption does not factor in illicit liquor which accounts for nearly a quarter of the alcohol consumed globally.
Drink–driving countermeasures, not outright prohibition, are cost-effective strategies to reduce harmful use of alcohol and the burden of alcohol-attributable traffic crashes, "which are more likely when drivers have blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) above 0.04%."
Younger Indians, better booze
India's constitution aspires to prohibit alcohol for all but medicinal purposes.
Permits are required to import, manufacture, bottle, transport and sell alcohol—and even, in some places, to drink it.
Booze is also heavily taxed — import duty on bottled scotch is 150%, a rate that encourages graft. In some states, government oversees retail.
More than 19 million Indians reach the legal drinking age each year, they also have fatter wallets and ditch illicit moonshine for branded stuff.
Dry weddings are passe'. Now, a "single malt served" wedding ups image.
India is the world's biggest whisky market by volume, if not by value, according to multiple business intelligence reports.
"Everyone is drinking better," say India's whisky bosses.
That means, hic, smashed.

I've added a gold membership where you get a gold member icon every time you comment, it also allows you to download any video, and gain access to "premium gold videos" where only gold members can view them. I'm being charged around $170 a month for hosting, and I'm bringing in about $150 off of advertisements a month. I saw on some site that estimates what a site is worth that mine is valued at about $4000 for some reason. I haven't had a single person sign up for gold membership and I'm only charging $7.75 euros a month. Any suggestions how I can turn this large amount of traffic in to money? Thanks guys.

To get any more involved in the battles at Bayreuth, the German theater that Wagner built for his operas only, Alberto W. Vilar would have to grab a sword, jump on stage and give young Siegfried a hand. Wielding a checkbook instead, Mr. Vilar, who runs the Amerindo mutual fund firm, has come to the aid of Wolfgang Wagner, the composer's 80-year-old grandson and long the director of the Wagner Festival. Mr. Wagner would like to install his second wife, Gudrun, as director and retain a major role. But his niece, Nike Wagner, has recruited her own powerful allies to oust him.
Mr. Vilar, already one of the Metropolitan Opera's largest donors (it's not called the Vilar Grand Tier for nothing), has also become Bayreuth's largest private supporter, agreeing to sponsor a new production of ''Tannhauser'' in 2002. He said that under Mr. Wagner, the house gets 500,000 orders for 50,000 seats. ''And to turn around and say you need new blood, he's tired and old, that's wrong,'' Mr. Vilar said last week. ''All this criticism, and you have one of jewels of the business.''
Mr. Vilar, calling the family feud in part ''a journalistic opera,'' notes that wealthy donors, especially Americans, have come under attack for becoming involved at all in such European institutions.Continue reading the main story

At 4:22 pm on September 12, 2008, a Metrolink commuter train struck an oncoming Union Pacific freight train in a head-on collision. Both trains were traveling at approximately 42 miles per hour, and the force of the collision was enough to cause a catastrophic derailment. Due to the timing of the accident coinciding with the end of week rush hour, the Metrolink train was carrying 222 passengers at the time of the accident.
How did it happen?
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the engineer aboard the Metrolink train, Robert Sanchez, ignored or did not see a red light signal indicating that the section of track he was about to enter was not clear of traffic. Instead of stopping, Sanchez put the Metrolink train and its passengers directly into the path of the Union Pacific train. While a remote control station was monitoring that particular stretch of track at the time, no notification of Sanchez's error was provided to railroad personnel until after the accident had occurred. The engineer aboard the freight train was only given 2 seconds notice to apply his brakes before impact, and Sanchez himself had no time to react whatsoever prior to the collision.
Emergency response to the accident was swift and overwhelming, with 250 firefighters, 30 fire engines and every available helicopter ambulance arriving at the scene in order to deal with casualties. 46 passengers were critically injured, and 23 people died immediately upon impact. The total number of injured rose to 135, with 25 ultimately perishing. 8 train cars and 3 locomotives in total were derailed, and service on the line was interrupted for four days while cleanup and investigation operations took place.
Safety lessons learned from the accident
Preliminary investigation by the NTSB suggests that the Metrolink engineer's attention may have been distracted by text messages he was sending and receiving during operation of the commuter train, including one which occurred 22 seconds before the accident. The engineer also failed to communicate with the train's conductor regarding the last 2 signals that were passed, as is required to be recorded. The switching and notification system was validated to be operating correctly at the time of the incident, leading investigators to conclude that the inattention of the engineer was the primary cause of the accident, compounded by the failure of the conductor to recognize the missed signal and apply the brakes.
A positive train control system which requires constant input by the driver in order to continue operation could have prevented this accident from occurring, particularly if coupled with a warning system that echoes the light signals typically used to control track traffic. Failure to respond to a stoplight or warning signal would automatically stop the train.

Service traditionally has been viewed as part of the market offering. However, by thinking of supply chain management services in this way, we are focusing on service as a noun. I want you to think of service as a verb.
How does supply chain management "service"? Notice I did not use the phrase "provide services," which reflect the noun form of the word. The verb "to service" means basically to help or to assist. Products and services assist. Consumers purchase products because they assist them in solving problems. These problems may be to repair a deck (so he buys hammers, saws, wood), to enjoy a night on the town (so she buys a dress), to ease the suffering of a sick child (so she buys cough medicine), or to entertain others (so they buy fresh groceries and wild salmon). Obviously, that notion of assisting or helping holds true for "services" (the noun form) when we think about haircuts, banking or printing services. And it holds true to business buying from ball bearings, to semiconductors, to transportation and financial services.
All of this is obvious, you say. What's not so obvious to many managers is that every product and service (noun form) that is "purchased" is servicing a customer. In helping to solve a consumer problem, even a manufactured product is servicing that consumer. In fact, in the act of consuming or using that product, the consumer is taking part in the servicing aspect of the product. That's how the value is derived from the product or service. Thus, every product and service (nouns) should always be seen as servicing value creation for the customer or consumer. This concept is part of what has become known as a service dominant logic.
In thinking about service dominant logic, consider that supply chain managers design processes for and manage the operations of resource flows—the movement of products, people, information, and finances. And in so doing, they facilitate the integration of various resources across multiple organizations. Every one of these "things"—products, people, information and finances—is a resource that gets integrated with other resources as firms build and sell their offerings. In connecting all of these resources, SCM is always about servicing resource integration by managing flows on both the demand and supply side.
So why should supply chain managers care about service dominant logic? Because thinking this way may fundamentally change the way in which you perform the supply chain job and, in fact, conduct your business. Begin by asking some important questions. In what ways do we service our customers—both immediate and downstream? In what ways do we service our suppliers?
Well let's see. With regard to customers, getting the right product, in the right condition, to the right place, at the right time, at the right price seems to be a well entrenched principle of SCM professionals. One of our core competencies is providing time and place utility of goods we move through supply chains. Customers evaluate how well logistics operations deliver these services. Research on logistics service quality indicates that customers care about things like product availability and condition; timeliness; and quality of order-related information, interpersonal communication, and the discrepancy-handling process. Customers (whether a retailer or end-user consumer) care about these things because having the right products available when needed not only satisfies their own needs but also is a pre-condition to servicing their customers further downstream.
In managing flows up and down supply chains, supply chain managers become involved in far more than just the movement of products. They are immersed in relationship management, IT, finance, operational processes, forecasting, and activities very close to customers such as front line customer service, packaging (primary, secondary and tertiary), and on-shelf presentation/assortment. Here is where I want to focus for a minute.
Focusing on the Front Line
The retailer environment for consumer goods is changing dramatically and in ways that today's supply chain managers don't even realize.
One reality of today's environment stands out: servicing retailer locations is getting exponentially more complex as a result of more customized programs being designed within collaborative vendor and retailer partnerships. This requires stores to be serviced very differently even if they are right across the street and especially (this is the hard part) if they are the same type of retailer. Let me emphasize that. The more alike competing retailers are and the closer they are geographically, the greater will be the differences in servicing requirements. The reason: retailers are in an all-out war to differentiate their brands—as unique store identities—from their competitors and they are demanding help from specific vendors.
This means that in helping customers resolve problems in servicing them, we must understand that retailers' problem is brand differentiation now. Not differentiation of their private label brands (although that may part of the problem), but differentiating their store as a brand—a shopper destination if you will. Doing so is their path to higher returns on net assets.
But the retailers can't do it alone. This means that supply chains will look different in a few years as leaders focus on creating highly agile partnerships across many firms and find ways to service accounts with more (not fewer) SKUs but at a lower cost than before. Partner organizations will collectively create many shorter term, in-store, solution centers, unique to each major retailer. They will develop unique packaging to better engage and satisfy consumers. And they will create unique assortments and bundling combinations for specific retail locations. But all of this must be done at a cost savings to today. This is a strategic and daunting task.
We are no longer simply tracking store-level data. We also are tracking shopping basket-specific data for each and every trip for each and every shopper over time. We are analyzing correlations between in-store initiatives and specific shopping baskets, which enables retailers like Kroger to customize promotions by shopper. We are driving traffic through digital and mobile media to specific stores and are able to change demand quickly to take advantage of opportunities.
The implication is that if you thought servicing customers already requires agility and visibility, it's only going to get far more complex as we move forward. For one thing, as more and more consumers and firms become concerned with sustainability and social responsibility, more attention will need to be pain to servicing returns and/or redistribution as well as alternative product and energy consumption. Much of this will ripple to other non-retailing sectors.
Next Stage: Anticipation
We have long known that transportation is a service and vendor managed inventory is a service—as in nouns. Think about how many different ways can you service (a verb) your immediate and downstream customers in ways that uniquely help your key customers and your customers' customers solve any of the problems they have? This is not about efficiency. This is about effectiveness. We always balance the two in supply chain management. But in today's world, the bar for effectiveness is rising more rapidly than ever before. The standard is now driven by consumers and shoppers who are incredibly fragmented and have nearly perfect access to price, availability, and service performance information—globally.
If you can get a handle on this reality, the next big opportunity is to anticipate changes in what individual business customers—and ideally shoppers—will want. The goal: To retain their loyalty even as what they value changes. Serving customers at the highest level of effectiveness means far more than being responsive, it means being anticipatory. This is called proactive customer orientation, a topic for another conversation!

By I C Naik
Apropos the post by Shri Ajay Jha titled "Confusion abounds: Now HC Bench says co-ops fall under RTI " this post tries to discern the confusion on an eccentric pitch.
The Bombay High Court Aurangabad Bench (the Bombay HC)" rejected the relief sought by Jalgaon Jillha Urban Cooperative Banks Association Ltd vide Writ Petition No.1304 filed in 2008 under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India.
The Petitioner's grievance: "the authorities created under the Cooperative Societies Act are insisting the institutions to pass on information in respect of the conduct of business and other things of the societies to the members or even general public under the provisions of the Act."
With a view to getting rid of the menace once for all, the Petitioner Association knocked the door of the Bombay HC and urged the Hon. Court to hold and declare that the Cooperative Institutions ( "the Cooperatives" ) registered under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act 1960 (the MCS Act 1960) :
a.are not "public authorities" u/s 2(h)
b.the Cooperatives are exempt from disclosure of information u/s 8)1, (d), (e) and (j) of the Right to Information Act 2005 (" RTI 2005 ")
The Bombay HC pointed out a few attributes of cooperatives which were in vogue since time imemorial. These attributes played the devil's advocate for the rejection of the relief prayed for. Few relevant attributes are listed below.
i.The cooperatives registered under the MCS Act 1960 are bodies created by the statute.
ii.Right from the registration there is control over of the authority under the MCS Act 1960 .
iii. The authority steps in to take decisions on the rights of the members.
iv.The authority has control over the manner in which the funds are invested or the distribution of the funds is made for different purpose.
v.The authority under the Act can do the audit and inquiry into irregularities.
vi.If loss is caused to the institution, there is the power of suspension of managing committee and removal of members with the authority created under the Act.
It appears these attributes are viewed as ground realities and possibly sub-consciously, marshaled in by the Bombay HC, even at the risk of the Supreme Court of India overturning, for there are valid reasons to believe so, which should unfurl little later. But it must be acknowledged with gratitude by every cooperators that the 13/2 order of the Bombay HC did bring these wicked features of cooperative regulations in sharp focus, could be at the right time.
The horrifying imperatives of this 13/2 order can be imagined by connecting it to the views of the Hon Apex Court in in Thalappalam Ser.Coop.Bank Ltd.& … vs State Of Kerala & Ors., dated 7 October, 2013 : CIVIL APPEAL NO. 9017 OF 2013 (the 7/10 order). Relevant Part of Para 52 is extracted below from the said order namely:
"52. Registrar of Cooperative Societies functioning under the Cooperative Societies Act is a public authority within the meaning of Section 2(h) of the Act. As a public authority, Registrar of Co-operative Societies has been conferred with lot of statutory powers under the respective Act under which he is functioning. He is also duty bound to comply with the obligations under the RTI Act and furnish information to a citizen under the RTI Act."
The 13/2 order of the Bombay HC, seems to have paved the way for authorities under the MCS Act 1960 to call for any information of any cooperatives in which any citizen has shown interest personal / otherwise. Perhaps the horrendous ground realities faced by the cooperative management and the cooperators have claimed a much bigger slice of the cake by way of this 13/2 order, on a flip side. For that it should not go unchallenged.
Here, it is quite pertinent to remember the Apex Court observations in another land mark judgment delivered by the Division Bench , on March 19, 2015 [(2015) 42 SCD 494] (19/3 order). "Co-operatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members." it was quoted by the Apex Court from Seven Principles of Cooperatives practiced globally. Further the Bench lamented : "it appears that the cooperatives in India did not have effective autonomy, democratic functioning and professional management" and lauded the 97th Amendment to the Constitution of India, which in fact, gave a constitutional frame to the National Policy on Cooperatives, the Government of India adopted in March, 2002 .
Para 7 of 2002 Cooperatives Policy declares a host of Policies the Central and State Governments have accepted to adhere to. Number (iv) of the 15 Policy statements is relevant here : "the regulatory role of the Government will be mainly limited to the conduct of timely elections, audit of the cooperative societies, and measures to safeguard the interest of the members and other stake holders in the cooperatives". Further it is sternly mandated that " There shall, however, be no interference in the management and working of the cooperatives." The Government of India was tremendously concerned with "INTERFERENCE of Authorities and did not use the hateful word "COTROL". Perhaps the Government did not envision the "Control of Cooperatives by the Authorities" which the Bombay HC frankly pointed out in the 13/2 order.
Reverting to the 13/2 order, the Bombay HC was apparently not impressed by this stern Policy diktat on INTERFERENCE in the midst of the rampant exploitation. Imperatives of 13/2 order is that the question of INTERFERENCE could arise if in reality, the cooperatives were indeed set free from the clutches of the Bureaucracy and Politicians so that they could function democratically with their member's democratic control. The Bombay HC appears to have consciously evaded reference to these two land mark Apex Court orders on the un-documented premises, namely that the ground realities provided enough evidences that the cooperatives were still functioning the very old ways wherein the Politicians and Bureaucrats bountifully interfere to such an extent that there is no option to candidly accepting that Cooperatives are controlled by the Authorities created under the MCS Act 1960.
The Apex Court appears to have perceived as real, the text-book freedom to cooperatives assured under the 2002 Cooperative Policy, Apex Court also profusely hailed such assurances, ignoring the ground realities which continue unabated. This is what appears to be the visualization the learned Judges of the Division Bench of the Bombay HC behind not having a recourse to law laid down by the Supreme Court of India.
Impression of the Bombay HC about the functioning of the cooperatives has to be related to the fact that they do exist even after the lapse of 15 years of declaration of the 2002 Cooperative Policy of non-interference and after 5 years of the enactment of the so called historic Constitution (97th Amendment ) Act 2011); both these documents overtly targeting to over-hauling the functioning of cooperatives, fully aligning it to the global cooperative principles. This seems to have weighed heavily on the minds of the learned Judges of Division Bench while writing the 13/2 order, and sub-consciously shut the eyes off a sweeping ruling at Para 54 of the 7/10 order on Kerala Cooperatives (supra)..
If one goes through several of my posts on www.indiancooperative.com posted during the post 97CAA era and more particularly the single one at http://www.indiancooperative.com/cooperative-coffee-shop/exploding-the-myth-of-model-bye-laws/ I will be certainly branded an "atheist" (cynical) towards government's bona-fide intentions. I am glad that there is a corroborative evidence provided by Cooperative Coffee Shop, dated November 27, 2016 posted by none other than Shri Ajay Jha himself. http://www.indiancooperative.com/featured/supporting-co-ops-modi-govt-as-callous-as-upa/ It is woefully titled "Supporting co-ops Modi govt as callous as UPA"
It is unlikely that the 13/ 2 order will go unchallenged. We can hope that the ground realities of Cooperatives appears to have been perceived by the Bombay HC are intensely marshaled to defend 13/2 order before the Constitutional Bench of the Apex Court. At least it will expose the unashamed apathy of the Politicians and Bureaucrats alike to cooperatives in all of the States and Union Territories. After all the Apex Court has accepted its responsibility at Para 28 of the 19/3 order (supra):
"Where the Constitution has conceived a particular structure on certain institutions, the legislative bodies are bound to mould the statutes accordingly. Despite the constitutional mandate, if the legislative body concerned does not carry out the required structural changes in the statutes, then, it is the duty of the court to provide the statute with the meaning as per the Constitution. … "The job of the Supreme Court is not to expound the meaning of the constitution but to provide it with meaning"
Going forward this one is entirely a different "reality ball game" in Indian Polity. Assuming proper law is very much in place, whether enacted by the State or "provided by the Apex Court" in performance of the Court's duty as aforesaid, how far the Judiciary can rein in the unworthy ground realities very subtly unearthed by the Bombay HC in 13/2 order?

Cortland County, New York
List of Drafted Men.
Sub-District 29--Homer.
Sub-District 30—Cortlandville.
Sub-District 31—Truxton and Cuyler.
Sub-District 32—Solon and Taylor.
Sub-District 33—Cincinatus and Willet.
Sub-District 34—Marathon and Freetown.
Sub-District 35—Virgil, Harford and Lapeer.
Cortland County Items.
PATRIOTISM OF THE CONSCRIPTS.—The conscripts of Cortland county feel jubilant over their chance to show their hands once more for their country. When the news was telegraphed here, the lucky ones formed in line, and the emblems of 1860,—To wit, "lamps, trimmed and burning,"—were again lighted, and in battle array the noble band paraded the streets, amid the strains of martial music, till a late hour. When the last man shall be taken from Cortland county, then the ladies (dear souls) will volunteer, and if fire arms are unattainable, they will wield the broom-stick with such dexterity that Traitors and Copperheads, North and South, will tremble through fear, and "call for the rocks and mountains to fall on them" and shield them from the just indignation of the fair ones.
Practical Workings of the Conscription.
The Draft in New York is finished. The whole number drawn is a little over 19,000 or one in six of the number enrolled of the first class, and one in five of the voters for President—the highest vote ever cast in the city.
In Massachusetts there is a constant struggle to escape from the conscript camps, though the penalty is death. One of the substitutes on Long Island, Boston harbor, appropriated an officer's uniform and made for the water's edge where a fisherman's boat was tied. He told the fisherman in a commanding tone that he must have his boat for an hour to find the bodies of some of his soldiers, promising to pay him well for it. The guard made way for him, supposing him to be an officer of rank, and he ordered three or four substitutes to go with him and assist in his humane object, and put off. He hasn't got back yet. "Good clothes go a great ways." Another substitute changed clothes with a newsboy, and sold papers industriously, until a boat started out for Boston, when he was allowed to leave unmolested.
Report of Dr. Geo. W. Bradford.
From Whole No. Exempted. Not Ex.
Exemptions were made for the following diseases and disabilities:
Occupation of those applying for exemptions.
The number claiming exemption is far greater than is generally supposed. While the towns of Cortlandvile [sic], Harford, Preble, Scott, Solon and Taylor had raised their respective quotas of the requisition made by the government by volunteers, and therefore presented but comparatively few candidates for exemption, notwithstanding their large populations. Still the number of applicants amounts to but two short of 1000. If those towns had furnished as many applicants according to their population, the number in the aggregate would have been much larger. The examinations were intended to be performed without "fear, favor or partiality,'' yet some may have been exempted who should not, and others whose claims were as good, or perhaps better, have been denied. This arose from the short time allowed for the performance of so much and so difficult labor. It was intended to exempt all who would not pass a creditable examination if they were offered as volunteers for the service.
To the Ladies of Cortland County.
The above note comes to us very opportunely. Our victories have been won at the cost of fearful wounds. To stounch [sic] these wounds and so far as possible to ease the attending pain and save the precious life, the aid of our ladies is needed. We trust this call will not be unheard. It addresses itself to the sympathies of our better nature. We look for a liberal response.
War Meeting!
House Robbery.—The young woman who robbed the house of Mr. J. W. Tefft, of a quantity of clothing on Monday afternoon, has been traced to Utica, and measures taken for her arrest.
U. S. DEPUTY MARSHAL.—Mr. Sylvester House, who was appointed Deputy Marshal at this city by Marshal Dickinson, has been reappointed by Marshal Dodd. Mr. House has received his commission.
Enrollment Commissioner.—Mr. William Andrews, of Homer, Cortland county, has been appointed Commissioner of the Board of Enrollment for the Twenty-third Congressional District, under the Conscription Act.
UNION CONVENTION IN CORTLAND COUNTY—The Union County Committee has called a County Convention to be held at the Court House in the village of Cortland, on Saturday, the 29th day of August, at one o'clock P. M., to send delegates to the State, Judiciary and Senatorial Conventions, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the Convention.
Two REGIMENTS COMING.—Two more of the New England regiments, whose term of service has expired in the South-west, will pass through here on the way home to-day and to-morrow. The 49th Massachusetts regiment, Col. Plunkett, seven hundred and seventeen men,—forty of them sick,—left Buffalo at nine o'clock this forenoon, and will pass here between four and five o'clock this afternoon. They are to receive a collation at Utica, prepared by the citizens.—Their destination is Pittsfield. The 48th Massachusetts regiment is about twenty-four hours behind, and will probably pass through here to-morrow afternoon.

Things I can't travel without. (Part 2)/
Following on from yesterdays post about my trip to Boston to see my new employer Teamstudio, I'll continue to share with you the gadgets and gizmos I like to travel with to make my life easier.
#4 - Q-Tips or Cotton buds. Let's just agree that hotel showers are a mixed bag and sometimes you get a pathetic dribble from the shower head or the temperature fluctuations are so bad that it's positivity dangerous to take a shower for fear of getting scalded. Other times you may have struck gold and found a shower head that is clean of limescale and delivers and good strong shower at a temperature that is constant. Whatever you get Q-Tips/Cotton Buds are not just for cleaning out the shower water from your ears, and I'm not advocating that you insert anything into your ear canal. However I have used Q-Tips for that but also for other things on my travels too. Cleaning the recessed phone lens on my iPad or Android phone so that I can do a video call with someone. Or even cleaning up something that's got in between the keys on my trusty MacBook Pro. Their uses are truly endless and I recommend you travel with some. I keep mine in a bankers bag as they seem to fit perfectly.
#5 - Personal Wifi access point. Most hotels around the world now provide wifi, the one I'm in right now does just that and it's performing great, but there can be loads of contention on heavily used hotel wifi and if not set up right or they have used very cheap equipment then your experience is going to be very frustrating. Bring on the TP-Link TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano Router. This may be one of the smallest devices you ever buy that is worth it weight in gold many times over. But right now it's less than £5.00 at Amazon UK. I have used this to plug into hotels where they still have a network cable data connection next to the phone and it's been priceless. Here's why this works so well. No one else is using the cabled connections any more so there is no contention. I'm probably the only one connecting direct to the switch and I'm getting 100Mb to my wifi router. That means it's fast. Add to the fact this powerful little beast is smaller than a credit card (pictured with an AA battery) and it supports AP, Router, Bridge, Client and Repeater modes. In short you could buy a bunch of these and use them around your house to make your wifi coverage better.
#6 - iOS restore key. There have been a couple of times when I've been rendered dead in the water by my laptop failing. Luckily these days you can create a USB key version of the install files for your chosen OS. Google will help you find out how. If your hard disk ever fails, run along to Best Buy or anywhere that sells hard disks, slap a new one in your laptop and you can be connected back to the Internet to get all your stuff back in about an hour or two. Much better that than having a 5 day trip wasted by a dead hard drive or anything else that fails or corrupts. My choice for this task is my trusty SanDisk Cruzer Edge 8GB. Why 8GB? Because it's about the size of a DVD, but now days I would probably do the 16GB version, as they are cheap enough. Don't be tempted to buy one and try and put anything else onto it, just keep this one for the OS only. When you need it, you don't want it not to work because you've managed to break the file system on it.
Note to Self : update the OS on your key, it's out of date. ;o)
