Brazil leads FIVB World Tour after seven Grand Slams
Lausanne, Switzerland, August 13, 2013 – With seven FIVB World Tour Grand Slams, the 2013 Beach Volleyball World
Championships and two FIVB Opens completed, the 2013 FIVB World Tour takes some
time off before heading to Russia next week for the double-gender $440,000 FIVB
Moscow Grand Slam.
The seventh double-gender Grand Slam of the 2013 FIVB World Tour was held this past week in Berlin, Germany. For the men, no seed higher than 12th made the final four, breaking an all-time men's FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour record set in Stavanger back in 2007 when the seventh-seed was the highest in the semifinals. Ultimately it was Brazil's 13th-seeded qualifiers Vitor Felipe/Evandro Gonçalves each winning their first FIVB World Tour gold medal, who defeated the 25th-seeded Russian duo of Viacheslav Krasilnikov and Konstantin Semenov
On the women's side, Taiana Lima/Talita Antunes made it a gold medal sweep for Brazil, defeating Katrin Holtwick and Ilka Semmler of Germany, 2-1 (16-21, 23-21, 15-12) in 51 minutes. Lima and Antunes won their season-leading fifth title of 2013 – the fifth FIVB World Tour win of Lima's career and the 18th for Antunes. Despite losing the gold-medal match, Holtwick and Semmler won their first ever medal for a German women's team as the host nation. All three previous German teams reaching final fours in Berlin finished fourth, including Holtwick and Semmler last season. The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour resumes with the FIVB Moscow Grand Slam from August 21 to 25.
After the FIVB Moscow Grand Slam, the 2013 FIVB World Tour takes six weeks off before finishing the season in back-to-back weeks in October in China and Brazil. While the World Tour is off, there are still two double-gender FIVB Open events to take place with one in India and one in Africa.
Continuing to ride atop the men's FIVB World Tour/Open season point standings is Brazil's new team of Pedro Salgado/Bruno Schmidt, while leading the women's FIVB World Tour/Open competition is another new Brazilian team, Lima/Antunes.
Counting the FIVB Berlin smart Grand Slam, Brazil's Salgado-Schmidt have collected 5,140 points on the 2013 FIVB World Tour/FIVB Opens and the lead on the score board while Latvia's second-place Aleksandrs Samoilovs/Janis Smedins have 440 points and USA's Jake Gibb/Casey Patterson 490. In the season earnings race, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt continue to lead with $138,775 followed by Brazil's Ricardo Santos/Alvaro Filho with $128,200 and Latvia's Samoilovs/J. Smedins with $120,200. All three of the top teams are playing in their first full season together.
In the 2013 FIVB women's international competition, Brazil's Lima/Antunes have been nothing short of amazing and continue to lead the 2013 FIVB World Tour/FIVB Opens with 5,690 points and $196,000 in earnings. Second in points is Brazil's Barbara Seixas/Liliane Maestrini with 4,540 and second in earnings is China's veteran duo of Xue/Zhang with $114,000. Third in points is Germany's Katrin Holtwick/Ilka Semmler with 4,480 while fourth are Brazil's sister duo Maria Clara Salgado/Carolina Salgado with 4,420 and fifth is Brazil's Agatha Bednarczuk/Maria Antonelli with 4,140 points and sixth is Spain's Liliana Fernandez/Elsa Baquerizo with 3,670 points.
Third among the women's money leaders is Brazil's Seixas/Maestrini with $108,875 while Brazil's Salgado sisters are fourth in money with $100,500, while fifth is Germany's Holtwick/Semmler with $97,200 and sixth is Brazil's Bednarczuk/Antonelli with $83,375.
Statistically in the FIVB men's international competition, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt duo has a 42-13 match record so far for a 76.4% winning percentage, the third highest on the FIVB World Tour. Based on a winning percentage to date for the FIVB World Tour and FIVB Open events, USA's Sean Rosenthal/Phil Dalhausser duo remain first at 81.8% (36-8), followed by Latvia's Samoilovs/J. Smedins at 79.6% (39-10), and Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt. At four is Italy's Paolo Nicolai/Daniele Lupo at 72.9% (35-13) followed by USA's Jake Gibb/Casey Patterson tandem in fifth at 72.0% (36-14), and Spain's Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira in sixth place at 71.8% (28-11).
In this year's women's FIVB World Tour/FIVB Open play, Brazil's Lima/Antunes duo has the second highest winning percentage at 87.5% (49-7) as China's Xue/Zhang have played in four of nine events this year and have an amazing 92.6% (25-2) to lead. Third is Brazil's Seixas/Maestrini at 75.5% (40-13), followed by Germany's Holtwick/Semmler at 75.0% (39-13), Brazil's Salgado sisters at 74.5% (38-13), Brazil's Bednarczk/Antonelli at 72.9% (35-13), USA's April Ross/Jennifer Kessy at 72.2% (26-10) and the Netherlands' Madelein Meppelink/Sophie van Gestel at 70.0% (28-12) to complete the top eight.
With Dalhausser/Rosenthal (Fuzhou, Rome, Long Beach) having won three gold medals on the FIVB men's FIVB World Tour/FIVB Open scorecard, the following duos each have one gold medal: USA's Gibb/Patterson (Shanghai), Latvia's Smedins/Samoilovs (Corrientes), Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt (The Hague), the Netherlands' Brouwer/Meeuwsen (Stare Jablonki), Brazil's Santos/Filho (Gstaad), Russia's Yaroslav Koshkarev/Konstantin Semenov (Anapa) and Brazil's Vitor Felipe/Evandro Goncalves (Berlin).
On the FIVB women's international season scorecard, Brazil's Antunes/Lima (Shanghai, The Hague, Rome, Long Beach, Berlin) have a remarkable five gold medals while China's Xue/Zhang team has won three gold medals this year (Fuzhou, Stare Jablonki and Gstaad) and the Netherlands' van Gestel/Meppelink (Corrientes) along with Russia's Ekaterina Khomyakova/Evgeniya Ukolova (Anapa) each has one gold medal.
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour comprises 10 Grand Slam events and the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Not part of the World Tour but counting towards FIVB points/earnings are seven Open events (five double-gender tournaments and two women-only).
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour will end in Brazil with the $440,000 FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam to be held from October 9 to 13.

1201 Main Street, Sebastian, FL 32958
Non-Emergency: (772) 589-5233
The Sebastian Police Department has a complete, turn-key computer system that automates the collection of all information necessary to generate a current and accurate description of a child.
When it comes to the safety of our children, time is of the essence. It is a fact that over 2,000 children are reported missing each and every day in the United States. Most are found within minutes or hours and have happy endings. However, there is always the fear of the worst, which is what we must all prepare for.
One major problem that costs precious time is the gathering and distribution of photos, fingerprints, and descriptive information to assist law enforcement agencies in locating and identifying the lost child. The CHILD ID PROGRAM can help.
Descriptive information (full name, nicknames, date of birth, hair and eye color, race, etc.) is provided by the parent. A full color head and shoulders photograph is taken with a digital camera, and the child's fingerprints are digitally captured.
The child's information is printed out along with an ID card and both are given to the parent for safekeeping. NO information is kept in the computer system or at the Police Department.
For more information about this helpful program, contact School Resource Officer Ashley Penn at 772-589-5233 extension 8573.
The Sebastian Police Department reminds parents to always know where your kids are. Teach them to never talk to strangers, to never accept rides from anyone, to always let you know where they are, to never open the door to anyone, and to never put their name on their clothes.

Published at Monday, April 29th, 2019 - 12:55:53 PM. Curtains. By Karolina Marchal.
If you are using curtain wire go to the top of the window frame and attach one screw eye on the left and right hand side of the frame. Ready made organza curtains should have tabs at the top, attach hooks to both ends of the curtain wire and then thread the wire through the tabs of both curtains and attach the wire to the screw eyes on the window frame. If you are using a wooden dowel use cup hooks and not screw eyes for the dowel to rest on. Thread the dowel through the tabs and place on cup hooks.
Made-to-measure curtains available on the Internet offer a huge number of different designs available at your fingertips rather than in store and you don't actually have to deal with any pushy salespeople trying to get your business. You can simply go to your window within your home measure the size of your window and calculate the size of the curtains you need once you have done that simply choose your colorful fabrics whether it be red natural blues greens and purchased the fabric. The hardest part of choosing your curtains on line is deciding what color fabric or designer fabric you would like.

I think we should at least try to keep the major spoilers hidden so you can really enjoy the books and get the whole experience reading like we did... I'm not sure what really qualifies as a major spoiler though ! I know it's nice to wonder and make your own predictions as to what's going to happen while you're reading instead of finding out what happens right away from an outside source ! I think if we make the posts that involve spoilers hidden it will give you the choice as to whether you want to know !
Not sure if that was directed at me. Maybe I should have said she does a spin off with side characters. Either way Funkdiva I hope I didn't ruin it for you cause that wasn't my intentions!

Building on Emmy-Nominated Success of PSYCH HashTag Killer,
the New Social TV Thriller Makes Fan Generated Content a Part of the Experience
The Seventh Season of PSYCH Premieres on USA Network, Wednesday, February 27, 10/9c
February 14, 2013 - New York - USA Network is launching PSYCH The S#cial Sector, a new eight-week multiplatform murder mystery this Friday, February 15. Building on the success of the Emmy-nominated, fan favorite HashTag Killer, The S#cial Sector centers around an online reality competition in which contestants are sequestered in an unknown location and one contestant is voted off each week. When Shawn and Gus (series stars James Roday and Dulé Hill) discover the eliminated contestants are turning up dead, they enlist self-professed PSYCH-Os to become their Digital Assistants and help find the location of the reality show's house and catch the killer. Fans will help Shawn and Gus solve the case through a series of real-time communications, mini-games, crowding-sourcing challenges and an interactive Fan Theory Board where fans can post video responses to weekly challenges from the PSYCH characters. Directed by Kirsten Nelson (co-star Chief Vick), this parallel digital storyline can be played via desktop or tablet at SocialSector.usanetwork.com and Tweeted using #SocialSector.
"PSYCH The S#cial Sector is the next evolutionary step in storytelling as it engages our fans by bringing them into the story with their own social and video-based content which they can share with other viewers and become part of a fantastic show experience," said Jesse Redniss, senior vice president, Digital, USA Network. "This Social TV activation reflects our ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of storytelling across every screen and harness the immense power of fandom by creating a deeper connection our viewers."
When The S#cial Sector opens, fans find Shawn (Roday) enjoying his latest web addiction, the online reality TV show "The S#cial Sector" - a last-man-standing competition featuring six contestants and a mysterious host, sequestered in an unknown location. The Host explains to viewers but NOT to the contestants that this is a deadly game - when a contestant is eliminated, they die. Shawn and Gus will interact with their Digital Assistants as they attempt to figure out where and why the contestants are being killed off. An integral part of solving this case is The Fan Theory Board in which Shawn and Gus will elicit help from the Digital Assistants, comment on those theories that intrigue them the most, and pull the best theory of the week directly into the game. Fans will also earn points on Club PSYCH to receive tangible goods, invaluable signed collectables and show related rewards.
"My involvement in The S#cial Sector has made an impact on me as an actor and director because I appreciate how these Social TV extensions are changing our craft by going beyond the linear experience to direct engagement with our fans," said Kirsten Nelson, co-star, PSYCH. "As this launches, I'm looking forward to seeing how our fans plunge into this social murder mystery and interact not only with Shawn and Gus, but with each other to help solve the crime."
The S#cial Sector was overseen by the executive producers Chris Henze, Kelly Kulchak and Steve Franks, as well as the writers of the project Brittany Hilgers, Tory Walker and Daniel Carter. It was created in conjunction with 30 Ninjas, a creator of cutting-edge transmedia entertainment, and SocialSamba, the leader in social storytelling technology, as well as Ralph, a creative agency specializing in creating content for the entertainment industry, and Theatrics.com, a collaborative video storytelling platform enabling the incorporation of user generated content.

2013 Chevrolet Spark EV
Nov 27th
Really exciting seeing all of the recent announcements about new electric cars.
Here is GM latest. The 2013 Chevrolet Spark.
I'm such a poor "blogger"
Nov 27th
5 months with no posts makes me a very bad bad blogger. so I'll make up for it in one large dump. I've back dated all of the OnStar verhicle reports just to keep them in chronological order.
So what has happened in these oh so long time between posts?
- Broken passenger side mirror (My Fault)
- Fixed passenger side mirror ($$$)
- SPX Voltec charger #2 went dead. (I am batting 1000% with these)
- Software upgrade. (Volt advisers would not leave me alone about this)
- While the car was at the dealership for items 3 and 4 they managed to put a gouge in my bumper. (Not My Fault)
- 3 more trips to the dealership to fix the issue. (They were accommodating but a very frustrating situation)
So out of all of that…
1 new side mirror, 1 new Voltec charger and 1 painted bumper. The dealership still needs to take care of a minor issue with the repair work but it can wait till the next time I bring the car in for service. I am really tired of seeing that place.

The manguebeat movement is a cultural movement created circa 1991 in the city of Recife in Northeast Brazil as a response to the city's cultural and economical stagnation.
The original movement named itself mangue bit, "mangue" for Recife's mangroves and "bit" to the computer bit central to the movement's electronic music influences. Since then, mangue bit has been more commonly called manguebeat.
The stylistic origins of the music are in maracatu, punk rock, hip hop, samba, Brazilian folk music, and psychedelic rock. The first wave appeared in the 1990s. Mombojó is part of the second wave of the manguebeat movement. They were featured in MTV's coverage (Sintonizando Recife) of manguebeat along with fellow bands China and Maquinado.
excerpt from review by Kees Schoof of MúsicaBrasileira.org:
In the 1960's and the 1970's it was quite normal to "discover" new groups with very young musicians. They were inventive, talented and a joy to listen to. Next the music world was dominated by disco and other dance music. The punk revolution tried to break that, but until now many young musicians seem to focus on an obvious road to success: play what teenagers want to hear, follow the trend lines, don't worry too much about musical talent.
But of course there is more, it's only hard to find. So now and then the matured music lover is pleasantly surprised by a bunch of youngsters. Like the band from Recife, Pernambuco, called Mombojó. Formed by seven obstinate youngster, ranging in age between 17 and 21 years old, they perform music that is hard to define. It's a bit of everything: a bit of samba, a bit of bossa, a bit of pop, rock, jazz, rock 'n roll, punk, mangue beat, reggae... But above all: it's clever. The band does its own thing, something that is definitely appreciated by the music critics, who rave about the quality of the presented music.
The band's sound is not seldom compared to a mix of Mundo Livre S/A and Los Hermanos. Lúcio Maia (Nação Zumbi) acknowledges the quality of the band in an interview, admiring their own sound. This year the band released its first cd independently, Nadadenovo (Nothing new). A well chosen title, because when hearing this cd, one will probably say: everything sounds new here. But the musical influences refer to tradition. Singer Felipe S, 21 years old, states that his main influence is Tom Jobim. In the music you'll also hear the spiritual presence of icons like Hermeto Pascoal and Chico Science.

As seen on telegraph.co.uk
On the stage at the Odeon Leicester Square, Prince Charles is handing out awards from his charity, The Prince's Trust, to dozens of young people who turned their lives around in the most challenging circumstances. Behind him, interspersed with the fleur de lis of the royal charity logo is not a great British brand but the blue ellipse of South Korea's Samsung.
For a technology giant built on selling millions of televisions, washing machines, mobile phones and more, the regal setting is a long way from its roots selling noodles in a provincial peninsula town.
Samsung — the name means three stars — was founded in 1938, but it wasn't until 1993 that the company started on the road to turn itself into the global conglomerate it has now become.
While Sony now makes most of its money from selling insurance and Panasonic makes a hefty annual loss and wants to reinvent itself as a green giant, Samsung is building its success on making the gadgets that are reshaping the world.
It's not bad for a family business that is just three generations old. It has grown to such a size that it forms a key part of the whole growth strategy for South Korea.
The company continues to power ahead. It estimates that profits announced this Friday will be over £5 billion. More data is downloaded via Samsung mobile phones and tablets than those made by Apple, and it is the only major mobile phone manufacturer using Google's operating system to make a profit.
But whatever the figures, the business faces two major hurdles: the challenge it set itself to dominate every major field in which it operates, and that the markets it has entered are approaching saturation point.
Although much of the talk may be about Apple's falling share price, Samsung's too has dropped by almost a quarter this year. Two thirds of Americans own a smartphone, most of them Apple. As the mobile market becomes more focused on upgrades, and even televisions start to rely on software rather than hardware, Samsung's challenge is to grow where it can and also – more difficultly – to maintain its position as No 1 everywhere.
The company started out as a small but prosperous grocers, trading a mixed bag of goods including those noodles. It was only after the Korean War that it diversified, and it was not until 1960 that it entered the electronics market that was to make it a global player.
Like Sony, Panasonic and its other rivals, it was the advent of television and consumer electronics that sparked its expansion, And like its Japanese rivals it built its fortunes on a huge and diverse range of interests.
From construction to department stores and from paper to semi-conductors, Samsung was once the model of a vast conglomerate, whose focus was difficult to define but whose brand in its native South Korea was ubiquitous.
To a great extent, that is still the case. The most direct descendant of the original Samsung is not the TV and tablets behemoth, but the construction arm. Today, Samsung is still defined by "Korean-ness" in a way that Sony is not defined by coming from Japan. But while it may have built the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, Taipei 101 and the Burj Khalifa in the UAE – the three tallest towers in the world – the company is focusing its expansion plans more tightly than ever on a digital future.
That transformation was prompted by what is known in company lore as the Frankfurt Declaration. This was not so much a declaration as an exhaustive analysis, a three-day speech made in Frankfurt in 1993 by chairman Lee Kun Hee. Prompted by a world tour Lee made of Samsung's businesses, both in shops and factories, it set out to define the company that Samsung could become, and it stated explicitly the ambition to dominate every market from televisions to telephones.
This has been achieved. None of the group's ambitions can be said to be significantly off track. Lee is still in charge.
Frankfurt, however, has taken on greater significance. It defines what Samsung's employees think the company means, and what they think it means to work for the company.
Every new Samsung employee is taken to visit a model of the conference room, which includes the original paintings and décor bought from the original suite in the Falkenstein Grand Kempinski Hotel.
On that pilgrimage, Samsung employees walk past signs saying, among other things, "We will devote our human resources and technology to create superior products and services, thereby contributing to a better global society".
A snappier one sums up Samsung's attitude rather better: "Go! Go! Go!" That certainly reflects the corporation's approach. While some companies make three models, Samsung has tried big phones, tiny phones, cheap phones and expensive phones. Some of them stick; others are quickly dumped.
Lee may not have the reputation of Steve Jobs, but within Samsung he is treated, arguably, with even more reverence than the Apple founder.
The company does not offer Lee to the media, preferring to use the new co-chief executive, JK Shin, to make announcements on new products which are in the main compered by a star of TV or Broadway.
There have been some mis-steps. Launching the Galaxy S4 mobile phone in New York earlier this year, the company was criticised for a show that was an extraordinary pastiche of theatre and musical, with jokes that sailed over the heads of its geek-heavy media audience and led to accusations of sexism. It was an attempt to inject "personality" into a brand defined by its products.
Indeed, Samsung is acutely aware of its failings. It is renowned for analysing every word of feedback from the media and paying close attention to its fans and critics on social media. It made the transition from a manufacturer of cheap televisions to a global player in less than a decade. Many of its staff have been there long enough to remember what the place used to feel like. Lee certainly has, and his son, Lee Jae Yong, is vice-chairman and widely tipped to take over.
For a company that made $179bn in revenues last year and employs some 400,000 people, that sense of history is a powerful force. Sources in the company admit that it is a hard taskmaster. Working hours are as long as any company on the peninsula; silos are as rigid as any too.
If you work on washing machines, you must own a Samsung phone, but it is likely you'll know no more about it than any customer.
As Samsung's products increasingly need to talk to each other, not least so that Samsung can build brand loyalty, those structures will become more challenging. The Korean cliché of workers never being allowed to leave before their boss and consequently sneaking off for an afternoon nap in their cars may have to change too, or the business might be stretched to breaking point.
When Lee made his three-day speech, he said he wanted Samsung to be a global player by the year 2000. He told managers to "change everything but your wife and children".
The principles of what Samsung came to call "New Management" are neither revolutionary nor novel. Lee also adorned the business with a commitment to quality that culminated, in 1995, with a bonfire of 150,000 sub-par mobile phones.
Today the plan, it seems, is to continue the relentless expansion. Critics of the company say it is built not on innovation but on copying other companies, not least Apple, and on enormous marketing budgets and tiny margins.
Mobile phone retailers say the pressure to sell Samsung is huge and that the pressure leads to a momentum that gains a force of its own. Market dominance forces out competitors, even when they're the size of Nokia, HTC and BlackBerry.
Whether Apple copied Samsung or vice versa, two things are certain: courts around the world have swung both ways, but it is Samsung which benefited from being seen as such a threat to Apple that the iPhone maker felt it needed to sue.
Now, things seem to be edging toward an uneasy truce, and certainly Samsung continues to manufacture millions of Apple's chips. Even if Apple wanted to sever its links with its great rival, it's testament to Samsung's market dominance that it would be difficult.
One Samsung source said this year that the company's challenge was "how we spend less money on advertising". As the company focuses on larger mobile devices, tablets, a new kind of PC and making all its televisions "Smart TVs", it is increasingly commissioning adverts that are not afraid to mock the "fanboys" who are loyal to Apple even regardless of the product.
And it is not afraid, either, to admit journalists into its Korean inner sanctums. Where the company was largely hidden from view, it has recently run trips to show the media how extraordinary its white goods arm is, or how its photography research is more advanced than Sony's or Nikon.
The aim is straightforward: global domination in every sphere, and quietly continuing to build the buildings and towers in which it sits too. Perhaps most remarkable is not how quickly this has happened or even how thoroughly – it is that Samsung remains a business built on its products, rather than a brand with which consumers claim to have a profound emotional connection.

Many people would call the companies on the Top 100 Clubs list leaders in the fitness industry. In many respects, they are. They have generated the most revenue (at least of the companies that chose to submit). But is revenue the best sign of leadership? You can argue so, but I think a better judge of leadership is innovation. Leaders are those who are in the forefront, bringing new ideas, products, programming, businesses and people to this market. They are companies that you want your company to emulate not by imitating their innovative ideas (that would make you a follower) but by emulating their ability to create ideas and then put them into action.
"Companies" are not actually innovators. The innovators are the people within the company, in particular the leader who is responsible for ensuring a culture of innovation. The best leaders not only gather innovators, but create innovators from non-innovators by offering the freedom and the permission to experiment, learn and create.
So what traits do leaders and staff of innovative companies share?
Innovators are good listeners and avid knowledge seekers. They listen to their customers and their staff. They learn about their market, their product, their industry and other industries. By doing so, they are able to spot trends and create opportunities for their company based on those trends before others do.
Innovators are creative, and encourage and nurture creativity in their team. They give their team the tools and support to turn their ideas into reality.
Innovators are open to change and actually seek change, never falling under the misperception that making it to the top leaves no room to improve.
Innovators take risks, knowing they may fail on occasion but also knowing the reward for success is worth it.
Innovators have integrity, so they can operate openly. Leaders at innovative companies ensure that those who work with them also have integrity and share the same values. Those values are stated clearly to employees and customers.
Innovators put their customers first. They never do anything that will harm their customers or betray their trust.
Most importantly, innovators have a goal and a plan. You cannot know where to seek innovations if you do not know where you are going. That does not mean that the goal and the plan cannot change. After all, innovators also are adaptable.
You may look at this list of innovator traits and think that you are not an innovator but a researcher and planner who takes things slowly and follows the trends that others have begun to follow. I challenge you to challenge yourself a bit. Planning and research are good. No one says an innovator should not research and plan. But step outside your typical mode of operation. Find staff members who are innovators. Bring them into monthly brainstorming sessions. Listen to them. Encourage them to think of new ideas. Keep your mind open to those ideas and try some out. Offer your staff rewards for good ideas that translate to great business, and they will reward you with even more creativity and innovation.
And the more creative and innovative individuals you surround yourself with, the more your mind will expand to see things differently, too.

There is a bicategory where the objects are categories, the 1-morphisms are profunctors, and the 2-morphisms are morphisms of profunctors. The non-obvious part of this assertion is that profunctors admit a "good" (i.e., coherently associative) composition. The way one sees this is to use the fact that the Yoneda embedding is the free cocompletion, from which we may identify profunctors from $\mathcal{C}$ to $\mathcal{D}$ with cocontinuous functors from $\operatorname{Set}^{\mathcal{C}^{\operatorname{op}}}$ to $\operatorname{Set}^{\mathcal{D}^{\operatorname{op}}}$. Over here, there is a strictly associative composition, so life is good.
All of this extends easily to the enriched setting. In particular, if we enrich over $\mathcal{V} = \operatorname{Cat}$, we can talk about strict 2-profunctors between strict 2-categories, and we get a nice bicategory of 2-categories, strict 2-profunctors, and morphisms between these.
I would like to know if there is an analogous way to obtain a tricategory of bicategories and biprofunctors. You can "follow your nose" and write down what the composition should be, but checking all the axioms of a tricategory does not seem like the simplest approach. Of course, we can strictify to get equivalent strict 2-categories and 2-profunctors, but I doubt the composition will be the same; I don't think the "strict" colimits will in general agree with the "weak" colimits. Also, using the standard enriched theory only gives a bicategory; the natural transformations are lost. It seems that an appropriate statement of the form "the bicategorical Yoneda embedding is a free cocompletion" will handle things just as it does in the setting of ordinary profunctors, but I am not sufficiently comfortable with limits and colimits in bicategories to try to figure out if such a statement makes sense. Has anybody worked all of this out?
(The closest thing I have seen to such a result is this paper by Justin Greenough, which more or less establishes this result in the case of sufficiently nice $k$-linear monoidal categories. But his proof seems to be very specific to that setting, whereas one would hope that a proof could be established along the same lines as the result for usual profunctors.)

Document Recovery in Excel 2007
Excel 2007 offers a document recovery feature that can help you if a computer crashes due to a power failure or some sort of operating system freeze or shutdown. Excel's AutoRecover feature saves your workbooks at regular intervals. In the event of a computer crash, Excel displays a Document Recovery task pane the next time you start Excel after rebooting the computer.
Changing the AutoRecover save interval
When you first start using Excel 2007, the AutoRecover feature is set to automatically save changes to your workbook (provided that the file has already been saved at least once) every ten minutes. You can shorten or lengthen this interval as you see fit. To do so, follow these steps:
Click the Office button and then click the Excel Options button.
The Excel Options dialog box appears.
Click the Save tab.
The Save options appear in the right pane.Change AutoRecover settings in the Excel Options dialog box.
Use the spinner buttons or enter a new automatic save interval into the Save AutoRecover Information Every xx Minutes text box.
Click OK to close the Excel Options dialog box.
Recovering documents after a system crash
When you open Excel 2007 after a system crash, the Document Recovery task pane shows the available versions of the workbook files that were open at the time of the crash. It identifies the original version of the workbook file and when it was saved along with the recovered version of the file and when it was saved.
To open the recovered version of a workbook (to see how much of the work it contains that was unsaved at the time of the crash), follow these steps:
Position the mouse pointer over the workbook listed in the Document Recovery task pane.
Click the drop-down menu beside the document name and click Open on the pop-up menu.
(Optional) After you open the recovered version, you can save the workbook.
To save the recovered version of a workbook without bothering to first open it up, follow these steps:
Position the mouse pointer over the workbook listed in the Document Recovery task pane.
Click the drop-down menu beside the document name and click Save As on the pop-up menu.
Save the workbook.
If you want to permanently abandon the recovered version (leaving you with only the data in the original version), click the Close button at the bottom of the Document Recovery task pane. To retain the files for later viewing, select the Yes button before clicking OK. To retain only the original versions of the files shown in the task pane, click the No button instead.

Lowell, Mass. – Seventh-ranked UMBC struck for two first half goals, and senior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) recorded an outstanding four-save effort as the visiting Retrievers blanked UMass Lowell, 2-0, at Cushing Field.
UMBC, which leads the nation in winning percentage, extended their unbeaten streak to six and improved to 13-1-2 overall and 4-0-2 in America East play. The Riverhawks, who were coming off a win and a tie in their last two America East outings, slipped to 3-13-1, 1-4-1, in their first Division I campaign.
The Retrievers would clinch the America East regular season title with a victory over Stony Brook at Retriever Soccer Park on Wednesday evening. UMBC has already secured a first-round bye and will host an America East Tournament semifinal contest on Nov. 13.
UMBC sophomore forward Michael Scott (Fife ,Scotland) and junior back Marquez Fernandez (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) scored goals for the visitors. Scott was making his first career start in place of the America East's leading scorer, senior forward Pete Caringi III(Perry Hall,Md./Calvert Hall). The Retrievers' second leading goal-scorer, senior midfielderKadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y.) did not compete due to an accumulation of five yellow cards.
Scott nearly got on the board in the 11th minute, but his header went just over the crossbar. But in the 23rd minute, he got on the end of junior left back Jordan Becker's (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) serve, and headed in his first goal of the season from close range on the far post.
The Retrievers doubled the advantage in the 35th minute, as the Riverhawks committed a foul 25 yards from the goal outside the right edge of the box. Junior midfielder Mamadou Kansaye (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) swung in the free kick, and Fernandez broke free and headed the ball back inside the right post from nine yards out.
The score was Fernandez' third of the campaign and the Retrievers went to the break with a two-goal advantage for the first time in 2013.
The game opened up dramatically in the final 30 minutes and UMBC had two opportunities to make the score 3-0 prior to the half's midpoint. Junior midfielders Stephen Ho (North Potomac, Md./Wootton) and Geaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mount St. Joseph) had back-to-back chances a minute apart, but could not convert. Ho's one-on-one effort from deep in the box beat UML netminder Chris Maierle, but a Riverhawk defender cleared the ball off the line.
The hosts pushed back desperately, but were denied on three excellent chances by Saunders. The Retriever senior made a diving stop off a header with 24 minutes to play and stopped a header in close quarters with 7:45 remaining. Finally, with less than four minutes remaining, Saunders kicked out a shot by Eric Martin, who had gotten behind the Retriever defense and broke in alone.
Saunders finished with five saves and surpassed the 200-save plateau (203) in his career. The shutout was his third in a row, fifth of the season and 22nd of his career.
UMBC outshot UML, 15-9, and Maierle had four saves for the hosts in the first meeting between the two schools.
Notes: Saunders is now tied for second place in school history with 22 shutouts… Brian Rowland is the school's all-time leader with 25 and Saunders is tied with Steve King (2005-08) and Steve Zerhusen (1975-78)… The 13 victories for UMBC is the most since recording 14 in 2009… UMBC , the 2010 and 2012 America East Tournament champions, have not won the regular season crown since 2003… UMBC has not allowed a goal in its last 322 minutes of action.

Welcome to Tours of South India:
South India is the area encompassing India's
states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and
Tamil Nadu as well as the union territories of
Lakshadweep and Pondicherry. South India lies in
the peninsular Deccan Plateau and is bounded by
the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Bay of
Bengal in the west, south and east respectively.
Inhabitants of South India are referred to as
South Indians. A majority of South Indians speak
one of the five Dravidian languages � Kannada,
Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Tulu.
South India consists of the four southern Indian
states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and
Tamil Nadu as well as the union territories of
Puducherry and the Lakshadweep archipelago.
Together with Pondicherry, each South Indian
state has an elected state government, while the
Lakshadweep islands are centrally administered
by the President of India. The modern states of
South India were created as a result of the
States Reorganisation Act (1956), which
established states and union territories based
on linguistic boundaries.
The music of South India is known as Carnatic
music, which includes rhythmic and structured
music by composers like Purandara Dasa, Kanaka
Dasa, Tyagaraja, Annamacharya, Muthuswami
Dikshitar, Shyama Shastri, Subbaraya Shastri,
Mysore Vasudevachar and Swathi Thirunal. South
India is home to several distinct dance forms �
the Koodiyattam, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi,
Kathakali, Yakshagana, Theyyam, Ottamthullal,
Oppana, Kerala Natanam and Mohiniaattam.
South India has two distinct styles of rock
architecture, the pure dravida style of Tamil
Nadu and the Vesara style (also called Karnata
dravida style) present in Karnataka. The
inspirational temple sculptures of Hampi, Badami,
Bhattiprolu, Pattadakal, Aihole, Belur, Halebidu,
Lakkundi, Shravanabelagola, Mahabalipuram,
Tanjore, Madurai and the mural paintings of
Travancore and Lepakshi temples, also stand as a
testament to South Indian culture.
The main spiritual traditions of South India
include both Shaivite and Vaishnavite branches
of Hinduism. Shravanabelagola in Karnataka is a
popular pilgrimage center for Jains. Ayyavazhi
is spread significantly across the southernmost
parts of South India. Its followers are more
densely populated in South Tamil Nadu and
Kerala. Kerala is also home to one of the oldest
Jewish communities in the world who are supposed
to have arrived in the Malabar coast during the
time of King Solomon. The oldest surviving
Jewish synagogue in the Commonwealth of Nations
is the Paradesi Synagogue in Kochi, Kerala.

And so begins the first in a series of postings where I detail how I can sometimes be a cheap bastard. To start things off I bring your three recent examples:
- .Mac Trial account surfing
The GTD software I was using only did sync'ing through .mac and rather than fork over the $100 per year I instead just created a new trial account every three months and copied the single backup file across. I just couldn't stomach giving Apple more of my money to store less than 25KB of my data on their servers. The iPod belt clip I bought when I thought I'd lost mine (but now just sits gathering dust) should more than cover the bandwidth and harddrive storage costs. I no longer trial-surf as my current software doesn't support sync'ing yet.
- MAKE Magazine subscription
When MAKE Magazine was just starting out they used to offer a T-shirt with their yearly magazine subscriptions. My mother-in-law got me a subscription for Christmas but neglected to ask for the T-shirt. When I called to renew the subscription a year later and also order a boxed set of MAKE's first year I asked if they could throw in a T-shirt since I didn't get one the first time. The guy on the phone was so dismissive of the idea that I reacted by cancelling my whole order and hanging up. I haven't read MAKE magazine since last November. I miss it. Stupid T-shirt.
- Haggle with a poor student
I saw a 20mm Nikon lens being advertised on Craigslist recently and contacted the seller to show my interest. I talked him down from his $410 asking price to $250 even after finding out he was a student selling his camera gear so he could buy textbooks. I still cringe a little thinking about this.
Well, those are mine. Anyone else have examples of their recent cheap-bastardisms?

New York State is moving all of its executive agencies to Microsoft Office 365, consolidating 27 different email, word and data processing systems into a common cloud-based platform, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced.
By moving 120,000 employees to a common platform for email, office productivity applications and calendaring, the state expects to save approximately $3 million annually in license fees, hardware, maintenance, energy and personnel costs, Cuomo said in a release.
The agreement, the first of its kind in New York, is the result of the governor's strategic sourcing and IT transformation projects. In April 2011, Cuomo appointed the Sage Commission, a 20-member team comprising public- and private-sector representatives, to perform a comprehensive review of New York State government and identify structural and operational changes that would help make it more modern, accountable and efficient. Consolidating the state's email systems was one of the commission's recommendations. The state currently manages a consolidated Microsoft Exchange email system used by 26 agencies, but more than 50 other agencies manage their own stand-alone email systems.
"This system of multiple email platforms is a barrier to statewide collaboration, results in higher operating costs and presents upgrade challenges, as many systems lag behind more modern services," said Brian Digman, the state's CIO.
Moreover, maintaining email systems is not a core business of a state agency and is an unnecessary expense for individual agencies. Resources such as people, money, technology and time are better spent on providing key services, Digman said.
Over the remainder of the year, 120,000 state executive email boxes will be progressively moved to the Office 365 system, officials said. The move is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. Once the consolidation is complete, Office 365 will provide the following benefits to state agencies:
Other municipalities and government organizations are looking to save money and operate more efficiently by moving email and office productivity applications to Microsoft Office 365 or other cloud-based services such as Google Apps. San Jose, Calif., will be using Microsoft Office 365, Windows Azure and StorSimple for more than 5,000 city employees, Microsoft reported.
Microsoft's cloud services also are being deployed by San Francisco; Chicago; Kansas City, Mo.; Seattle; Santa Clara County, Calif.; California; Texas; and Washington state as well as the Veterans Affairs Department and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Here are some videos from our roadshows:
(Demo in Düsseldorf, Germany Oct.31st, 2017)
(VR Days, Amsterdam, Oct.26th, 2017)
(VRS, San Francisco, Oct.25th, 2017)
(Toronto user testing session Oct.20th, 2017)
(SVVR, San Carlos, Sep.14th 2017)
(IFA, Berlin Sep. 5th, 2017)
"It's one of the lightest VR headsets going. The extra size becomes imperceptible in use, and the featherweight promises long sessions of painless use... I had no trouble wearing the Pimax headset over my glasses... the image was clearly superior to today's top-end products" WifiHifi 2017.10.19
"As soon as I put on the headset, I was amazed by the lack of black border within my vision. For the first time ever, I finally felt like I wasn't looking into a VR headset!
As expected, I could not see any sub-pixels thanks to the insanely high display resolution, nor did I notice any ghosting." Engadget 2017.10.12
"...Booting up theBlu, a passive VR experience that plunges you into the depths of the ocean, I could really appreciate that added range on the 8K headset; visually it felt a lot more natural...I'd done this experience on the HTC Vive before, but here I felt even more like I was down there with the sea life, not looking at it through a pair of ski goggles. Not having that periphery blocked made a lot of difference, and going back to using the Vive afterwards definitely felt like a step back... it's the 8K that really raises the bar for VR." Wareable 2017.10.09
"...This truly feels like a next-gen headset. I have to say the 200 degree's FOV is absolutely a game changer. It's really on a whole different level to anything I've used (Oculus/PSVR and even the Pimax BE) the sense of presence you feel with those extra degree's is amazing. I got to play Fruit Ninja and also Big Screen desktop.
The clarity of the display was sharper than my samurai sword I was wielding in Fruit Ninja, and fluid as anything. I could not perceive SDE or god rays when using it.
I am already used to having a high-resolution headset anyway (when compared to Rift/Vive) but take that, and add those extra degree's FOV and you get an idea of what it's like. In fact, someone likened it going from 4:3 to Widescreen Televisions - it's *that* dramatic." User hands-on review on Elite Dangerous forum 2017.10.06
"The 200° FOV is something you won't be able to go back from, using my Oculus now feels like I'm viewing the world through a scuba mask! The screen/lens combo is so far ahead of the current Oculus and Vive it's ridiculous. No screen door, little to no rays or ghosting... no chromatic aberration or "ripples" from a fresnel lens, no visible sub pixels, no noticeable smearing Despite looking bulky.
"The headset is light, lighter than the Vive apparently, and didn't slosh around as my head turned quickly." User hands-on review on Reddit 2017.10.05
"In addition I would say the colours felt very intense and had a kind of popout effect on me which was really cool also the brightful image was very apparent to me." DaHillersen 2017.09.08
"...a very early but extremly impressive prototype using an advanced laser tracking system and 2 4k screens, one for each eye. Additionaly the system has 2 perfectly working all-orientation controllers for a wide range of applications. The system has by far the best resolution, movement tracking and Field of view of all systems I have tested ad the exhibiton. " JL2579 2017.09.05
"The 200 degree FOV does make an enormous difference. You no longer feel like you are wearing ski goggles. It feels like natural vision since your periphery is no longer blocked."
"8k resolution truly feels next-gen. There was zero screen door effect. Objects looked perfectly solid and you could see the details up close. There was no aliasing. Apart from the obvious graphical artwork of the world, there was nothing to indicate I was in a digital world. It felt like a real, solid world."
"Going back to Oculus Rift after trying the Pimax feels like wearing a last-gen headset. Like using the iPhone before its 'Retina' display." Movingfulcrum 2017.03.15
"The headset's resolution was probably the best thing about the headset. Whilst inside, I couldn't discern individual sub-pixels no matter how hard I looked – whereas with the Rift or Vive I can. It took some effort to even discern individual pixels." Roadtovr 2017.01.14
"...images moved with my head movements with less latency than one would expect with little to no bloom distortion (pixels that change color too slowly and cause a blurry image) at all." Upload VR 2017.01.10
Through the lens:
Pimax 8K is a cutting edge virtual reality device designed for VR futurists. Our goal is to create an intuitive VR without the shade of the headset, and sharp enough that you won't be disturbed by pixels.
We doubled FOV to 200 degrees, with an increased resolution to 2*3840x2160. Meanwhile, we have eliminated motion sickness, which is often associated with longer exposure to a virtual environment.
Pimax 8K VR has been built to support the mainstream content currently available in the market, including Steam VR, while offering the largest field-of-view (FOV) of 200° and the highest resolution (2*3840x2160) on any VR headset on the market with less than 15ms latency.
Unrivaled Visuals Pimax was first to market with a 4K VR headset, and that was just the beginning. We've refined elements from our 4K model, including ghosting and brightness, and now we're the first to bring you VR in 8K, with these issues resolved. Say goodbye to screen door effect, as we're the ones putting "reality" into virtual reality.
Pimax 8K offers 200° Field of Vision (FOV), which is far closer to matching the natural human FOV of 220°. Users can simply use their peripheral vision instead of constantly moving their head, making for a more intuitive experience.
In addition, we've addressed and reduced one of the key visual shortcomings of VR technology. Known as the "screen door effect", this is the phenomenon where the eye can detect the fine line between pixels in an image - something which, in VR can hinder immersion and the experience as a whole.
With 8K VR (3840x2160 per eye) you can dive into a world of clarity, while the graininess and "screen door" will never disturb you again, thanks to our awesome 2*3840x2160 resolution.
FOV Comparison
SDE Comparison
(original youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aHIsPSzmng)
For input signals that less than 8K, e.g. 4K, Pimax 8K can upscale 4K signals to 8K resolution with a special video processing module in the headset.
A lighter option
It's always good to have options, so we are also offering a special 5K edition for Kickstarter. Pimax 5K has all of the same features as Pimax 8K, apart from a difference in resolution and, of course, price. The resolution of 5K (2*2560x1440) is less than 8K (2*3840x2160), but still places it above many of the current headsets on the market. A 5K resolution is good enough to eliminate screen door, and ideal if you are not as deeply concerned about pixels.
Brainwarp is a set of technologies Pimax use in the VR headsets.
For example, 8K renders and displays image in a sequence. i.e. For each time, only one eye can see a 4K image. Pimax 8K renders a single 4K image at 150/180 times per second, but users perceive a complete 8K at 150/180 Hz with high frame rate.
Brainwarp boosts refresh rate, reduces latency and decreases GPU pressure for a smoother VR experience.
VR Content
Pimax 8K SDK integrates with Unity and Unreal Engine, and supports C++ API, and will help you discover the true potential of your existing content. Furthermore, we've opened the 8K device driver SDK and HDK for you to develop new accessories. The Pimax team is excited to support you with digital tutorials, an active forum, and Skype/email interactions.
Developing with Pimax 8K allows you to:
The user scenarios of VR are still limited, let's work together to explore the edge of VR experience!
Pimax was dreamed up in Shanghai and Silicon Valley. We are a group of developers that have decades of experience in smart devices, including many years experience in VR headset R&D and manufacturing. We are addicted gamers.
We are motivated to create 4K headset to eliminate the screen-door effect. We created Pimax 8K to remove the binoculars, so that you can use peripheral vision to detect enemies in VR.
We want to drive VR towards the direction of big FOV and high resolution. By launching on Kickstarter, the base camp of passionate and creative folks, we can shape Pimax 8K based on your feedback and deliver it to you faster.
Not only do we value the input of you early adopters, but for the developers amongst you - we want to make sure we are tailoring a headset to your specific needs in terms of enhancing the VR experiences you create.
VR Aircraft project open for participants
We made HMDs that works in a flight machine. However, we do not have enough expertise in making aircrafts, thus we are offering the VR aircraft project to those who interested in making it happen. Please download our VR Aircraft Images HERE.
Risks and challenges
Manufacturing is not an issue, as we have delivered over 30K Pimax 4K headsets globally in half a year. For our Pimax 8K, we will use the Fresnel lens (2nd generation) without any supply issue.
We are in the stages of finalizing the solution for positional tracking, and as such it may delay the shipping time of rewards that include positional tracking. To overcome this we have come up with multiple positional tracking options, and we are seeking support and partnerships.
Refresh Rate -
The display panel supports 90Hz according to it's specification, and it has proven a stable 90Hz in another project. The display port is DP1.4 and the chip we used supports DP1.4 as well. So theoretically, Pimax 8K can support 90Hz.
But the stability is much important because our HMD should work out of the lab in thousands of computers condition. In the past two weeks, we have done more stress tests from 75Hz to 85Hz base on V3 hardware (latest DP 1.4 solution). Up to now, the 80Hz is confirmed stable. 82Hz just pass the initial test standard. And now we're trying to optimize on 85Hz and 87Hz. Since 90Hz is the upper limit of the whole system. Several hardware reasons might make the refresh rate drop: the clock rate, cable length, display adapter FPC, EMI desense issue. Contact impedance from different Video Card's DP connectors, etc.
Native resolution and frame rate per eye base on latest DP V3 prototype:
3840*2160*80Hz (no risk, passed sufficient stability test, guaranteed)
3840*2160*85Hz (medium risk, not passed initial stability test, not guaranteed)
3840*2160*90Hz (high risk, not pass initial stability test, not guaranteed)
We will keep updating the progress. In a worse scenario where the refresh rate falls between 80 - 85Hz in the final product, we believe we can still guarantee to deliver the best VR experience with dual 4K resolution panels 、200 degree FOV and lighthouse tracking system, plus some other methods, such as the ASW/ATW/Brainwarp.
As we all know, the below facts of MTP (motion to photo)
MTP = sensor response time + GPU rendering time + 1/refresh rate + display switching time
The refresh rate is one fact of the MTP. Not all facts. There're many other solutions could get good MTP performance.
Pimax 8K Module Status and Pimax Realizations Policy -
As you know, our 8K HMD is modular designed, so we ourselves will mainly focus on the HMD devices developments and provide interfaces to partners, as for the modules, we will mainly open to 3rd party vendors.
We will open HDK for modular design, hope more and more partners and DIY enthusiasts to join us to create various exciting modules!

'Scarface' Home Hits the Market for $35 Million
A number of pivotal scenes in the 1983 Al Pacino film were shot at this Neoclassical estate, which is now available for sale for $35 million
