In case you've ever stopped to think about Helpdesk softwares and how you could make a good choice for your businesses, this article is for you.
Specifically, if GrooveHQ already crossed your mind, we're here to discuss whether it's the best option for you or not.
In order to answer this question, we have defined some aspects that you should pay attention, so let's see how it goes with these essential attributes, but before we start there are some essencial aspects you should give some thought.
When it comes to Helpdesk software, it doesn't have what it takes to make your team as productive as it could be. You see, Groove was firstly designed as a Helpdesk system, and slowly migrated to email.
Although it has improved from what it once was, there are still many gaps, and sharing inboxes is one of them. Let's see how it stays behind:
Pricing does not reflect Groove's position in the market
Groove only has a free trial version, which isn't good for smaller companies. If you're just starting, it's always good to have a taste on softwares. This allows users to build fidelity as well.
Their price ($19/month/user) is quite high when you compare it to other alternatives — and some deliver so much more than Groove.
Other alternatives have forever free plans — and also provide plans you can purchase in order to upgrade your account. This business plan is much more inclusive and friendly with companies.
An extra tool adds extra complexity
Just like other alternatives (e.g. Front), Groove has its own platform. It may sound like a good idea in the beginning, but when you think about what it means, it isn't all that.
Having its own platform for an email-based service means that clients will have to switch from your platform and their emails constantly. Why is that? Simply because they won't be able to provide every service an email is capable of doing.
Differently, Drag uses your own email as the service, so you don't need to use third-party interfaces, neither have to learn how to use new software.
Our alternative: Drag
Our alternative won't add new logins/websites for your team. It works straight from your Gmail Inbox. By doing so, we allow your team to learn faster and have fewer questions about what's new. We also centralize work, because we have Helpdesk Boards inside your email. Basically, we change everything, but we keep it visually the same.
Drag starts for free, but if you want to unlock its full power, it's just $12/month/user. We believe that simple solutions make everything better for both sides because they decrease the amount of new information you need to learn something new.
Most features aren't always better, so you have to really understand what works best for your company by thinking about what you really need. If you want to know more about how you can increase your productivity with shared inboxes, read this article.
The fact that Drag works inside Gmail decreases drastically the time to be invested to learn about a new tool. It also centralizes work, by allowing Helpdesk to be managed within the same space as emails and To Dos.
Here are some other features you can add to your cards:
- Delegation of tickets;
- Customer info, such as phone number and company;
- Progress bar;
- Due dates;
- Checklists;
- Internal notes.
All of it. Right into your Gmail team inbox.
Although Groove has a very good service, there's much room for improvements, specially in what concerns team work, mostly because they lack a proper solution for shared inboxes. And alternatives are many in the market, so you should stop and think about what you and your company really need.
Our suggestion for before you jump into this tool, is to make a good research and look for other small and innovative softwares, because they can solve what you need for less money — and less other issues as well.
So think about what does your company really needs and start looking for all your possibilities. You'll see there's plenty of options. Just choose for the software that solves it better.
Lastly, check Drag out to see if a Shared Inbox, in Gmail, in a Kanban format fits your needs. Maybe it does 🙂

My cousin was a brilliant guy once upon a time. He was extremely intelligent and killed it on an intellectual level. However when he went of to university things went downhill. When he stood in the hallway, unmoving and muttering for several days and refused to move, his roommates eventually called his family. They were afraid of him. It was his explicit intent to change the universe and scare his roommate by doing this. That was the start of a long journey and he has never managed to get back to any semblance of normal. This is a story about him, let's call him Jack.
I never knew what happened all those years ago, I only heard whispers here and there. He has a fascination with death and feels much of this world we live in not real. He pushes away anyone who tries to help him and not in any kind of 'get away from me because I fear I might hurt you' kind of way. He emotionally levels anyone who sticks out a hand to help him up. He's smart enough to know what buttons to push. For many years I felt bad for him. He had such a rough time and can't help but be the way he is. He goes from psychosis to psychosis but I'd considered him harmless. By now I know that although he might not be able to help the way he is. He certainly isn't harmless.
A while ago he showed up with torn clothes at his mothers place (who struggles with her own mental problems). He asked her if she could get it fixed for him but that he had to stay there and couldn't go out because the cops were out to get him. When I first heard this story I thought that maybe this was another psychosis. My uncle was there and he was worried so he called his social worker. The social worker told my uncle that the police was in fact after him and advised him to stay out of the situation. You see, he'd been talking up a few young girls (and a boy?) and insisted to meeting them. He'd been trying to make them run away from home and we think more happened than just that. Considering how seriously the cops took the case.. I do believe he was eventually arrested and taken into custody. Although I'm not sure.
During the time that he was talking to these girls he was also paranoid so he made a new facebook account and changed all the settings and images to exactly mirror my brothers account. He felt that they had an inner similarity and that he would understand and agree. My brother found this out because he e-mailed him exactly that. Logically, my brother was not cool with this.
I take it that he has now been released for whatever reason. Considering I just saw a fb message of his pop up in my feed talking about how he feels that having sex with children is normal. I immediately called my brother. He feels that Jack is being intentionally shocking in order to pull people into his bubble. In order to get them to see the world through his eyes. In order to get attention. And in order to not be alone but have other people in his world that think the way that do. What I know about him and about his personality, this rings sadly true. It sounds harmless when I put it like this but it isn't. The way he sees the world is deeply dangerous. To whoever he pulls in with him and the people around them.
He told me to ignore it, since I and the rest of our family are no longer his keeper. This is good advice. Over the years many of our family members have spent most of their energy to try and get him to some concept of reality again and all have failed. For a while things went better because our uncle (the same one who called the social worker) visited him every day, took him outside for walks. Spent more time on him than on himself or his son. But eventually he lashed out. Not once. In a way that was sadly, unforgivable. He took down my mother in the same process and there ended the seemingly endless patience of my mother (who spent 25 years, patiently, with an alcoholic husband who eventually got sober) and my uncle both. His sister and brother had to give up many years ago because she couldn't both care for their mother, herself and him. Especially if trying to do so meant being mentally and physically assaulted. And even then it killed her to have to pull back. My brother himself even has tried, many times, to get through to him and sometimes this worked for a little while. But he too now feels that he can do nothing more.
I don't know how to feel about this or what to do. I asked my brother if I should call the police because of what he'd been saying on Facebook, but he feels they will see it sooner rather than later, considering the kind of things he's posting and I should try to forget it, for fear of getting dragged down into it. He knows what kind of person I am.
I understand it's probably not his fault. I know that about mental illness. And I don't want to add to the stigma by being afraid of my own family because of their problem. But I do genuinely believe he is disturbed and dangerous to young people. And I don't know how I should feel about that.. I'm worried and I'm scared. But mostly I'm ashamed. Of him and myself for feeling this way..
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this.
ETA: I called my mom and asked her to call my uncle so that he can call my cousins counselor/social worker to inform them that things are going bad. We'll see what happens..
ETA2: Uncle didn't have the number at hand. He'll look for it tomorrow and then I can call the social worker. I stressed my mom that if my cousin was off his meds (and it looks like he is) this is a situation that requires some haste. But my mom told me to sit tight and try not to worry. Far more easily said than done :/

Editor: Peter Ettinger (stuff I've either never seen or heard of)
This is my honest opinion of: SMALLFOOT
Migo (voiced by Channing Tatum) is a Yeti living high in a mountain top above the clouds where no human has ventured. However, the Yetis believe that there are no such things as humans, or Smallfoots, and that there's nothing below the clouds, as told by the Stonekeeper (voiced by Common) and Migo is perfectly content with this way of life. In fact, he's quite looking forward to becoming the next in line as a Gong Ringer, which the Yetis are told allow the sun to rise, so everyone can begin their day, and can only be rung by slingshoting and headbutting directly on it. In fact, Migo has been granted permission by the Stonekeeper to practice ringing the gong. However, Migo misses and is flung out of he village. Before long, he encounters an airplane and his first mythical Smallfoot encounter. However, no one believes what he saw and is banished from the village. But there's a small group of Yetis, headed by the Stonekeeper's daughter, Meechee (voiced by Zendaya) and convince Migo to venture below the clouds to prove the existence of the Smallfoot.
Jeez, talk about not judging a book by its cover. Have you seen the taglines for this thing? "Get Yeti"? "There's been a big myth-understanding"? Are you serious? Ugh, groan, am I right? This movie was supposed to be bad. But… it's actually not that bad. In fact, dare I say, it's pretty clever and pretty fun. I said it and I'm not taking it back.
To be fair, I've always thought that the premise had potential. Yetis that actually think that humans are mythical creatures, just like it's the other way around. But I sort of enjoy the lies that they've told themselves. The Yetis live at the top of this mountain, and there's this huge ring of fog that covers the limits of their home. They're told that their entire mountain is actually being carried on the backs of giant mammoths and that they have to be given these giant ice balls that the Yetis make and push down a tube, all in order to keep them hydrated, or something like that. They also refer to the sun as a giant snail because their only source of light in their homes are these snails that glow. It's all a load of fun to explore their world and the way they do things, which is completely dictated by the Stonekeeper, who literally wears a cloak made of small stones woven together that dictate what they believe and what they don't. I love the touch later on when Migo questions how heavy it is and the Stonekeeper says that it is and it requires a strong back to carry it. Won't lie, got a laugh out of me.
The first thing that I was ready to hate was James Corden. I know, he's popular and people mostly love him, but I gotta say, I'm not one of those people. I can't comment on his stand-up or his various shows or skits, but his transition into film has been ANNOYING to me. There are very few times when he's made me laugh, or even when he's been tolerable. I have nothing against the man himself, he's said some dumb things in the past, people say dumb things, I'm over it, but he's never been that funny to me. I'm not saying that he's funny here, but Percy is written in a way that Corden's lack of comedy is subverted by how well-written the character is. Percy is sort of like a Steve Irwin character, nature show type stuff. But his show is on the decline and he wants to at least act like he's discovered "Big Foot," which is basically a costume that his director wears, all in the name of getting higher ratings and put him back in the spotlight. What I appreciate about Percy is that he doesn't believe in exploitation. When he and Migo meet for the first time, he certainly records what he's discovered and sends it to his director, but he eventually decides that the Yetis deserve to live in peace without humans interfering. Well, okay, there's a little more to it than that, but he doesn't see the Yetis as monsters and doesn't want them to be perceived as monsters. It takes time to that conclusion, but Percy's story arch makes sense for the circumstances. Again, Corden isn't all that funny, but Percy isn't written to be all that funny either, and it works to everyone's benefit.
I definitely enjoy the idea that Yetis hear human speech as little rapid squeaks, and humans hear Yetis as growlers. It's like a problem that could easily be resolved if you recorded Yeti-language, sped it up, and then you could understand them. Little touches like that went a long way in this story. Oh, and how many people got a laugh out of the conspiracy theorists that exist in the Yeti world? Sorry, I need to go to Wikipedia for this… *one Wikipedia search later* the "Smallfoot Evidentiary Society" or the S.E.S. I enjoy the human parallels that must exist in the real world.
However, I have to be honest, there's a few problems that I have.
I had a horrible experience with a very specific part of this movie, so can anyone tell me that they shared a similar experience? I saw this in a standard screening (not IMAX or Dolby Atmos), but did anyone else have an awful experience with the song and dance portions? I felt like the music overpowering the lyrics in an embarrassing way. Like, this is something you'd find on Youtube from someone who didn't know what they were doing. Maybe I just need to see this movie again in a different auditorium, but I couldn't make out a single lyric over the instruments and sound effects. I wager that's the case, but… I have to put that out there. I had a… really bad experience with the musical portions. And it wasn't just one song and dance, it was literally every single one that the movie presented.
I do have to say, certain character reactions make no sense. When Migo tries to show the village the Smallfoot plane and everything, he literally sees the Smallfoot blow away from the wind when his parachute is out, and literally sees the Smallfoot plane fall off a cliff. But he speaks in a way that this happened days ago. Like, "I swear, it was right here!" kind of dialog, you know? It was really weird in that sense.
Overall, the majority of this movie is pretty enjoyable. It ain't perfect, but what they get right, they get right. It's fun, it's funny when it needs to be, and for an idea that could easily be a cynical product just to shut kids up for an hour and a half, it's surprisingly better than the marketing makes it out to be. As a recommendation, yeah, I say families will enjoy this. Kids will definitely like it and I think even adults will get something out of it. Fine, not a whole lot, but it's not something that will annoy them.
My honest rating for SMALLFOOT: 4/5

I'm so pleased to announce a new sponsorship agreement with Cambridge business, Visualplanet™ for the supply of their touchfoil™ integrated into a mirror screen display for the creation of a special work of art called Enigma for This 'Me' of Mine at Ipswich Art School Gallery. The visualplanet touchfoil™ is a micron thin film touch sensor that can sense a touch or multiple touches through glass. Primarily used in interactive information kiosks, like at the National Theatre in London, Visualplanet™ is joining with us to explore the possibilities for the application of the touchfoil™ in a work of art.
Enigma will be a collaborative adventure between This 'Me' of Mine exhibiting artist, Sandra Crisp, creative programmer, Luis Marques, and myself. It will be a fully interactive artwork where visitors can draw gestures on the touchfoil™ screen to create a personal avatar.
Here is a snippet from communications between Sandra and me during the conceptualisation of Enigma:

And we're back! Refreshed and ready for a steamy summer of LesFic-themed romps, mischief, and general shenanigans. Let's get on with it then, shall we?
~ ~ ~
First up, a warm welcome to a new UK author, Jenny Frame, who hails from Motherwell and recently signed with Bold Strokes Books. Jenny's début novel, A Royal Romance, will be published in 2015, and the blurb goes like this:
Georgina, Princess of Wales, has always known her destiny, but she never expected duty to call so soon. When her father dies suddenly, she is called back from her Royal Navy post to assume the crown. While the people acclaim their new Queen, Great Britain's first openly gay monarch, all George feels is the isolation of her station.
Beatrice Elliot's staunch anti-monarchist views have always been a point of gentle contention with her working class, royalty-loving parents. When Bea—director of a hospice charity—must spend six months working with Queen Georgina, her charity's new patron, sparks fly and passion blooms. But is love enough to bridge the gap between Bethnal Green and Buckingham Palace?
As with many LesFic authors, Jenny started her writing career by dipping her toe into the fan fiction arena (Xena Uber, if I'm not mistaken), and there are several stories available for downloading on her website. She can also be found on Facebook, and her bio is now up on our Author page.

Brits scored a hat-trick of wins in this year's Goldie awards, with gongs going to H.P. Munro for Silver Wings in the Historical Fiction category, Sky Croft for Mountain Rescue: The Ascent in the Romantic Suspense/Intrigue category, and Amy Dunne for Secret Lies in the category of Young Adult.
The GCLS site seems to be kaput at the moment, but a full list of the winners can be found here.
Rounding out an excellent week for the UK, Crin Claxton's The Supernatural Detective has been awarded an Honorary Mention in the 2013 IndieFab awards, which celebrate the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the cherries on top a metaphorical ice cream sundae of indie books.
Massive congrats to all four authors! We reckon you're all fab 🙂

Speaking of fabulous authors and sunshine, L Fest is happening this very weekend (July 18-21), and there are loads of Brit authors – VG Lee, Kiki Archer, Clare Lydon, Clare Ashton, Jade Winters, Amy Dunne, Andrea Bramhall, Crin Claxton, Gill McKnight and I. Beacham – heading to the festival tents. The forecast is hot, hot, and occasionally thundery, so grab your Factor 30 and a pair of wellies and get out there! All the details can be found at the above link.
~ ~ ~
Due to our little hiatus, we missed the release of Jade Winter's new novel Faking It. Well, it's out, it's doing fantastically well in the amazon charts, and you can catch a promo video for it here. I've added the blurb to the New Releases page, but for those of you who just can't be bothered clicking…
Danni Gardener is a talented writer. The only problem is, nobody else seems to think so. Rejected by what seems to be the entire global publishing industry, her gay best friend Josh makes her 'an offer she can't refuse'. Pretend to be his fiancée for one night only and he will open doors for her in the elusive publishing world. It all seems so simple. Across London, successful non-fiction editor Brooke Gibson is wondering how long she can carry on living with her partner, Megan, who seems unable or unwilling to commit to their relationship. When Danni and Brooke are introduced, the chemistry between them is explosive. This seemingly 'professional' encounter will throw them into emotional turmoil and a situation neither could have foreseen. Will aspiring writer Danni jeopardise a literary opportunity and break the cardinal rule of mixing business with pleasure? Will Brooke reciprocate, risking everything for a woman she believes to be engaged? After all, there is nothing so desirable as forbidden fruit…
Sarah Waters is heading out on a Paying Guests Tour, an August-September hop around the UK which is taking in the cities of Edinburgh, Nottingham, Oxford, York, and London, amongst others (no Manchester, Sarah? Why? Why?!) Tickets are variously priced, very reasonable and often redeemable against a copy of the novel. Head to this page for more details. Having listened to Sarah read and chat at YLAF events, I can highly recommend that you go along to see her.
~ ~ ~
Sticking with events for the moment, this one is very short notice but I'll pop it in anyway: Stella Duffy will be discussing the thorny issue of Is there a gay gene and should it matter? along with other panellists tonight at Hall 2, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1. Tickets are £20/£26 (this price includes a copy of Julie Bindel's Straight Expectations). For details call 020 7520 1490 or hit this link.
~ ~ ~
The Writing Processes blog tour seems to be winding down, but LT Smith got herself a last-minute tag and has been answering the questions over on her website. Putting the rest of us to shame, she seems to have about five million projects either pending or in progress, so head over there to read all about them and/or wonder how the hell she finds the time to squeak everything in:
I have just finished editing Still Life, my new story that is due out in September. If it hadn't been for Day Peterson, I think I would have run screaming from the house every five minutes. But, I am really happy with how she (I mean the story, not Day) is turning out, although editing is very time consuming.
Driving Me Mad has just been accepted for publication for spring next year, a story I started to write last year and sent along to the Academy of Bards as a short piece. I had such great feedback that I decided to add to her – and she ballooned like a greedy piglet. To be honest, I am really happy at how she came out. The story seemed it had to be written.
~ ~ ~
Finally this week, an event you've got plenty of time to prepare and save up for, as Nicola Griffith has been confirmed as a guest of honour at Reader Con 26, an annual conference or convention devoted to "imaginative literature" — literary science fiction, fantasy, horror, and the unclassifiable works often called "slipstream". The con will take place in July, 2015 in Burlington, Massachusetts. For more details, keep an eye on the main website.
Over on GoodReads, Nicola has also been chatting about Hild's sexuality:
Hild isn't lesbian/homosexual. She's bisexual. I doubt they had such terms back then, though. I've seen no evidence that who you did or did not have sex with defined how women thought of themselves…
You can catch the full response at the link, and still ask Nicola questions by signing up to the site.
~ ~ ~
Just sneaking in at the last minute, we have the winners of the giveaway for signed copies of Karen Campbell's new novel The Knowing. Congrats and a shiny paperback go to Marie Foose and Rebecca Layer. For those of you who missed out on a copy, the book is now available in Kindle or paperback.
~ ~ ~
And I think that about covers everything. Or most things. I'm sure I've missed stuff, but I've done my best 🙂

text: By Finley In Atmospheric Chemistry 31/10/2018 0 What Is Earth Science? Many readers will be perplexed by the media arguments over whether or not measures to combat world warming – or as scientists now desire to name it, local weather change – are essential to forestall a critical threat to the environment, or form part of a politically-motivated scam. Thesis research in the Meteorology and Air Quality group focuses on world and continental scale by finding out the carbon stability, attribution, composition of aerosols and influence on the radiation stability, large eddy simulation of CO2 and H2O exchange with the floor, affect of turbulence on atmospheric chemistry, and use of satellite information to deduce emission patterns. The air stress on the high of the troposphere is just 10{f23f47cb3c4b6152a2ab69582f3c145a4625101ae4545621c325cd8a4cc12c9b} of that at sea stage (0.1 atmospheres). The laboratory and experimental analysis deals with hint fuel measurements and physical, chemical and optical properties of particles. The following courses are part of the MSc programme Environmental Sciences when selecting the thesis observe Air Quality and Atmospheric Chemistry. The traditional Greeks regarded air as one of many four parts The first scientific studies of atmospheric composition began in the 18th century, as chemists reminiscent of Joseph Priestley , Antoine Lavoisier and Henry Cavendish made the first measurements of the composition of the atmosphere. Some fashions are constructed by automated code generators (e.g. Autochem or KPP ). In this approach a set of constituents are chosen and the automatic code generator will then choose the reactions involving those constituents from a set of response databases. Analysis can also be aimed toward understanding the results of dust storms in China on Asian air quality and nutrient deposition in the ocean, the interactions of this dust with urban and biomass burning air pollution, and the ensuing results on Asia and on lengthy-range transport of the pollution. #science, Share

The second-to-last match in this tournament has just finished and Azu-nyan has won the chance to try to become this year's Saimoe champion. Here is a summary of the second semifinal match:
1. Nakano Azusa (K-On!!): 939 votes
2. Haramura Nodoka (Saki): 769 votes
And it happens again! Last year, Saki choked in the semifinals, losing both matches in pretty small margin. Well, they did it again. Nodocchi fell behind Azu-nyan after the first hour and she could not make up any ground. She tried to catch up in the last hour but by then, Azu-nyan's lead was just too large for Nodocchi to get close to her. Saki had a chance to do what they couldn't do last year, but they end up suffering at the end, even more than last year. The amount of votes both Koromo and Nodocchi were behind was much larger than last year's. That brings my predictions and picks up to 81-29 (1-1) and my picks to 55-55 (1-1).
So, does this final match-up look familiar? Absolutely! I'll talk more about that tomorrow before the championship match starts. Enjoy the rest day and see you tomorrow!


text: additional info Cher Ami, the World War I carrier pigeon that didn't know the meaning of the word quit. She was the last chance for more than 500 men trapped behind enemy lines without food or ammunition. Thrust into flight she carried a message tied to her leg back to head quarters. She flew through a hail of German machine gun fire only to be shot down. She rose again to more gun fire, but 65 minutes and 25 miles later she arrived back at head quarters with her message. She had been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, and one leg hung precariously to her by a tendon. Cher Ami brings new meaning to the word "tough". Thoughts of Cher Ami remind me that quitting is not an option.anonymous

Love me for my faults! :) I want somebody that won't try and change who I am. I believe I have a big heart, and I'm looking for the same. I don't want someone that will try and crush my spirit. Somebody who doesn't like when other people are happy. I definitely don't need that kind of negative energy around me! I do believe in fairytales . Even as I write this spell check is trying to tell me the word fairytale doesn't exist, but it does! It's just hard to find, and I'm willing to put in the work. I love with all that I have, even though I know xxx out of ten times I'll fall on my butt. That xxx time that I have someone falling with me...it will be SO worth it.

I'm looking for someone that would love to build a family with me xxx day. No rush though.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and I want the people around me to know how much I love them. I tend to overly say "I love you" I have the best roommate in the world that is like a motherly figure, and I tell her I love her like 65 times a week. Haha, you gotta be able to deal with all the love that shines off from me! Also be willing to give it back just as fiercely as I do. Hmm, so I guess this wasn't the cut down version of what I want. It might have been actually longer than what I would have thought it to be. I guess I can't cut down all the things I want after all! They're all pretty important. I hope to hear from someone who thinks we'd make a fairytale match :) Please no xxx older than 65! Thanks :) I want you to cum all over my face.

Amplify ATX Kids Club
We believe every child should be able to go out and explore their city. There is no better program to do so than ATX Kids Club! This experience changes lives.
By attending our program they will learn more about their city and country but we have bigger goals. We inspire them to become explorers by fueling their curiosity and their need to make connections to their daily lives. We develop their self-confidence and self-esteem while motivating them to increase physical activity. They also establish social relationships with other kids and their field trip leaders.
During our field trips they learn through hands-on experiences which helps them broaden their awareness of the cultural and historical offerings in Austin. They become aware of their community, and we help them express these experiences through conversation and writing. We learn new things from them all the time as well!
Every year we ask for your donations during amplify Austin. This year is no exception. Amplify Austin is an annual day of fundraising for all of the non-profits in the city. It is also a great way to meet like minded individuals that are concerned with the well being of the community. They are as motivated by their causes as we are with ours.
Become a champion by scheduling your donation now or log in on February 28th. With your help we will be able to extend our amazing field trips to children in need of financial assistance.

Biking is an activity that could literally take you to places. I started biking just a few years ago. Well, it started off as a hobby, however, I came to love it to the point that I even started entering the competition. There are a lot of benefits to being a cyclist. First of all, you get to exercise your body in a very efficient way. Second, you are able to go to places that you would not have usually gone to.

No, of course not. But it is true you shouldn't take them alone.
A new British Medical Journal study has created more headlines in the mainstream media. One article opened with this: "A new study should put the final nail in the coffin for any lingering beliefs that calcium supplements are good for you.â€
That's odd. It was only a few years ago that the World Health Organization wanted to put calcium in everyone's water supply. We didn't like that proposal at all, but not because we think that calcium supplementation is a bad idea.

Are fully-autonomous vehicles really likely to feature on public roads soon?
It's fair to say that various facets of autonomous or 'driverless' cars and other vehicles, from their capabilities to the time-scales involved in consumer availability, continue to cause a degree of confusion, which is in many ways no surprise.
Is semi-autonomous technology misunderstood?
Firstly, with systems1 like Audi's Traffic Jam Pilot and BMW's Traffic Jam Assist taking care of the drudgery of slow-moving traffic queues, and Mercedes' Drive Pilot and Volvo's Pilot Assist essentially taking over human processes even more comprehensively in countries where such systems can be used freely, unlike in the UK, some motorists have understandably been left with the impression that more premium cars are already 'driverless'.
Even relatively more simple advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as widespread adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping technologies are often perceived as 'driverless', as shown by a Euro NCAP and Thatcham survey2 last year in which 71% of drivers showed a lack of understanding.
Trak Global Group has previously commented in the media3 on the danger of over-reliance on such systems until they are further tested and enhanced.
Volvo is an OEM synonymous with safety and aiming high
We feel the public are gauging things quite well when it comes to identifying OEMs and other companies that they perceive as more trustworthy in the race to perfect truly autonomous vehicles (AVs), with a DriveTribe poll4 of 2,520 respondents finding that Volvo has won many motorists' confidence – and rightly so. The Swedish marque's Vision 2020 plan5 aims to eradicate Volvo-related injuries and fatalities by next year, will involve limiting the top speed of all its new cars to 112mph as announced recently6, and Volvo has also offered to share7 sixty years' worth of its safety data for the good of everyone, which are all laudable steps.
Media headlines are largely essentially true but missing a key detail
From the start of 2019, a wave of headlines has continued to be published off and online similar to the Telegraph's which, in early February, read: 'Driverless cars to be on Britain's roads by the end of the year, government reveals'8. It's unsurprising that many people, despite being unable to afford such technologically-advanced autonomous vehicles, perceive them to be an imminent arrival.
In reality, what might indeed materialise by the end of this year is that driverless cars may be legally tested in a growing number of localities without a human safety driver sat inside, which is a significant stride in its own right, but it doesn't mean that consumers who can afford such vehicles will be driven around in them any time soon. Wired9 even asserted that the DfT doesn't actually know for certain whether such tests, justifiably perceived by some as risky, will take place this year. Their article attributed exaggerated headlines to over-enthusiasm on the government's part and quite rightly pointed out that, while the technology may not be far off viable in the real world, legislation will likely take considerable time to catch up.
The tests earmarked by FiveAI for the London boroughs of Bromley and Croydon in 2020 are an exciting prospect9a based on a perhaps more achievable time-frame, but these trials will admittedly still entail human safety drivers being present and ready to resume control if necessary.
Legislation and technology are key AV enablers
Law Times News10 echoes the view that the pace of the motor insurance industry's evolution to facilitate driverless vehicles will significantly determine how quickly they develop and become a reality. Citing a report by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the article calls for a fresh approach, for insurance policies to reflect advances in technology and to cover driver negligence, and for countries' laws to address in fine detail the current ambiguities between human and computer error.
Otherwise, Robert Love who heads Canadian firm Borden Ladner Gervais LLP's autonomous vehicle practice group envisages protracted and costly arguments prevailing. Charles Gluckstein, a Toronto lawyer, believes that OEMs will need holding to account when driverless cars are introduced, which will herald irreversible changes to Canada's roads and also to related sectors including insurance, with a sharp reduction in claims anticipated.
With technology instrumentally driving autonomous vehicle development forwards, Parna Sabet-Stephenson, another law partner from the Canadian capital, points to the need for specialist legal experts with in-depth knowledge and understanding over technology in the automotive space as pivotal in ensuring that the unparalleled shift in society is managed properly and smoothly.
5G a vital ingredient
With everything from cars and phones to buildings and even road furniture such as traffic lights and road signs rapidly becoming connected, the UK undeniably needs equipping with the latest and fastest communications network possible as society edges closer to autonomous vehicles.
In June, Bedfordshire will benefit from the activation of O2's 5G network as part of the provider's collaboration with the revered proving ground at Millbrook where the SMMT and other automotive organisations hold numerous events each year. The project lends support to the AutoAir testbed backed by the government11 and O2 plans to roll 5G out to Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London throughout 2019.
The track and facilities along with 5G will be made available to a wide range of businesses including Five.AI and Oxbotica who wish to test their driverless vehicles there – and previous trials over the transmission of high-definition video data and telemetry courtesy of a 160mph McLaren driving around Millbrook proved positive, boding well for the wider tests commencing shortly12.
O2's CTO described 5G as a "massive step change" that will be revolutionary, and we're certainly in agreement with these comments, 'big data' and all manner of rea-time monitoring technology such an intrinsic part of driverless vehicle development.
AVs and high-speed driving
It's all very well extolling AVs in terms of their anticipated eradication of accidents and congestion, but it would be frustrating if society simultaneously slowed down because such driverless vehicles weren't advanced enough to be able to corner at high speeds. It's therefore reassuring that pioneers at California's Stanford University13 have used artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms based on human neural networks to enable an autonomous Volkswagen GTI to drive as fast as possible within the limits of its tyres and the confines of the road's topography, camber and curvatures, without significantly deviating from the desired path.
Autonomous buses trialled for future public transport
Autonomy will also encompass commercial vehicles and public transport, and it's encouraging and exciting that March saw Stagecoach trial a full-size driverless bus at its Manchester depot, the vehicle unsurprisingly equipped with a number of sensors spanning optical, ultrasound and radar14. The well-known bus operating company promotes itself as a disruptor and plans to test the same software that it used in Manchester in further pilot schemes across Scotland in 2020. We agree that better protecting cyclists and pedestrians that enter buses' blind spots will certainly be a very positive benefit when autonomous vehicles like this eventually enter routine service.
Autonomous trucks address driver shortage
The proliferation in online shopping places a demand on retailers to move and deliver their goods as swiftly and economically as possible, but their business models have been threatened by market forces, the International Road Transport Union pointing to 40% of vacancies remaining unfilled across Europe15, partly attributed to long hours and relatively modest salaries. Over the last year or so, headlines have alluded to a truck driver shortage across the U.S, too, but interestingly an increasing number of voices are calling such reports fake news, based partially on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest report16, which said in conclusion that "a deeper look does not find evidence of a secular shortage."
Whatever the reality, it's highly likely that commercial vehicles will be introduced on public roads by retailers and other organisations as soon as legally and practicably feasible, with bottom lines somewhat in mind. After all, autonomous vehicles are already in use on private land and in other places, by various armies and mining operations, for example, and in factories such as Jaguar Land Rover's site in Coventry, where a firm called Brose has introduced automated guidance vehicles (AGVs) to make logistics more automated and hence efficient17.
California18 has just passed a rule allowing the trialling of light-duty commercial driverless trucks, primarily involved in delivery activities, on public highways – but such autonomous vehicles will be limited to 10,001 pounds (approximately 4.5 tonnes) in weight. Although restricting testing to what would be called 'vans' and pickups in the UK precludes HGVs or other heavy-duty lorries, it's still an unarguably positive step forwards, and we feel it dovetails with the parallel development of 'last-mile' mobility solutions being devised such as Ford's warehouse on wheels concept in collaboration with Gnewt by Menzies in the UK.
Challenges and other autonomous vehicle considerations
It's been well documented that fatalities have occurred involving autonomous vehicles, examples being Elaine Herzberg who was struck by a Volvo XC90 Uber test car19, and the driver of a Tesla Model X set to Autopilot mode who was killed after the car crashed into a concrete barrier20. Uber was found 'not criminally liable', though, and it's fair to say that autonomous cars like these continue to accrue millions of miles of testing involving 'tens of thousands of passengers'21, and driverless vehicles are widely perceived as inherently safe.
However, despite regarding self-driving technology as "the best lifesaver in the history of the car", Volvo's chief executive22 Hakan Samuelsson believes that prematurely launching autonomous vehicles before they are proven to be sufficiently safe would erode public and regulatory trust and could even kill the technology. His assertions seem reasonable and well-argued.
Veoneer, a leading manufacturer of radars, cameras and other in-car safety technology in Sweden23 perceives the delay in driverless cars as something that will boost its market position and demand for its products after the EU announced plans to mandate various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This view could be perceived as logical at a time when a wide range of passenger cars are advancing from level 1 to level 3 autonomy and beyond.
Ford CEO Jim Hackett's opinion24 that the automotive industry has "overestimated the arrival of autonomous vehicles" and that their real-world abilities and use will be restricted to geo-fenced scenarios is palpable, and genuinely 'driverless' vehicles being sold to consumers does indeed feel like a "stretch", with even Nissan now seeming sceptical over cars operating without any human input despite the Japanese brand's considerable efforts to date.
Is the insurance sector fully ready and do the public want AVs?
The UK may indeed be the prime location25 to support autonomous vehicles, as identified by SMMT analysis, but it could be argued that this demonstrates domestic bias, and so many facets from the Highway Code and other driving laws and regulations to physical road layouts and motor insurance models will all need reshaping, which will undeniably result in a degree of upheaval for a time. It's ironic that in the U.S, where driverless cars have been tested for longer, legal frameworks are less advanced than in the UK, where parliament has passed the Automated and Electric Vehicles (AEV) Act.
Mandating two separate insurance policies to account for when a human driver is in control and when the vehicle is in control of itself would indeed be too complicated26, so a single, combined policy certainly would make the most sense. It's envisaged that insurance companies will increasingly recoup a percentage of their costs when OEMs' autonomous technologies contribute to accidents. As AVs make our roads safer, claims will reduce, meaning additional likely changes to the insurance landscape.
Tesla seems especially keen to introduce as many new autonomous systems as possible 'while others are slowing down'27, but a Reuters-Ipsos poll recently found that half of the adults it surveyed in America don't trust self-driving cars, while around 66% don't have the appetite to pay inflated forecourt or lease prices in order to obtain such technology. It's reasonable to argue that Tesla and others could indeed be pushing systems that only a minority of drivers actually desire or will use with any regularity.
Fascinatingly, researchers from Leeds University went to Bangladesh to gauge sentiments over how drivers there would use the extra time afforded to them when fully driverless cars are a reality. In a country where chauffeuring is common, it's perhaps unsurprising that the majority of respondents picture themselves relaxing, reading and perhaps sleeping while inside AVs. Conversely, though, over 25% foresee themselves still watching the road, perhaps indicating an element of lingering mistrust.
Motor shows, press releases and other corners of the media continue to be awash with announcements over driverless vehicles, but it's evident that traditional OEMs are becoming increasingly cautious and realistic, and it's unarguable that many facets from insurance and infrastructure to affordability and public perception have a long way to go before AVs become a reality. The technology is almost certainly nearly there but it seems likely that level 3 semi-autonomy will remain the norm for the foreseeable future, which itself presents advantages and disadvantages. Currently, driverless cars seem so near yet so far.

From WSJ:
Fox Reality Channel, the only all-reality, all-the-time cable and satellite network has greenlit production on its latest original series "Smile…You're Under Arrest!," an inventive and unique show that constructs elaborate stings to bring real fugitives to justice. Armed with a troupe of improvisational actors and police officers, "Smile…You're Under Arrest!" masterminds some of the most hysterical and outrageous stings ever caught on tape.
Yes. Finally. How many times have you been watching grainy police video of undercover sting operations on 60 Minutes or the local news and thought to yourself, "This could definitely use some improv actors and/or comedic outrageousness"? Probably never. But how many times have you watched Punk'd and thought to yourself, "Ashton Kutcher and everyone involved in this show should be put in jail,"? At least once. Well, this show is the next best thing: an unbearable hidden camera prank show in which arrests are the ultimate punchlines.
In this innovative prank show, actual wanted criminals are lured to various fake scenarios; this can be anything from work as an extra on a movie set to a fashion shoot where the subjects think they are on their way to becoming a supermodel. The conclusion to each sting will see the actors reveal the truth to the criminals; then the police immediately apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice.
So basically it's To Catch A Predator, but instead of luring potential criminals via televised entrapment, they're luring "actual wanted criminals" via modeling contests. This can't miss. Won't it be hilarious to see someone wanted for writing bad checks think they're going to get a job as a boat show model, but then totally get arrested? Or to see someone wanted for a minor drug charge get all dressed up to be an extra on Fringe, but then totally get arrested ? These criminals are so stupid. These improv actors are so brave. We are so easily amused. I bet Smile..You're Under Arrest will be listed underneath the "Cops & Heroes" section of Fox Reality's website.
"The best way of describing this show is Punk'd meets Cops," remarked Bob Boden, SVP of Programming, Production & Development at Fox Reality Channel. "There has never been a show quite like this. It's great fun and fantastically arresting TV."
"There's never been a show quite like this, except for the two shows I just mentioned, and every single hidden camera show ever. It's so innovative!"
Also, Bob Boden is incorrect: The best way to describe Smile…You're Under Arrest is "Ugh" meets "No."
"This show is doing a real service for the public! There is nothing better than seeing real-life criminals being caught on tape and I'm excited Fox Reality Channel will be airing the series," said producer, Scott Satin, creator of NBC's successful "Most Outrageous Moments."
"Smile You're Under Arrest!" premieres December 27, 2008 at 4pET/7pPT on Fox Reality Channel.
Wow. "Creator of NBC's successful Most Outrageous Moments" sounds a lot better than "guy who put together a bunch of clips of car crashes and people falling over/getting kicked in the balls," but they mean the same thing. He's right, though: There truly is nothing better than watching criminals being caught on tape in jokey scenarios and then humili-arrested for our own shallow entertainment. I think we all know how Smile…You're Under Arrest should end: Scott Satin goes to Fox, thinking he's pitching Most Crazy Stunts, but then he totally gets arrested for crimes against television.

About AMA
In 1998, it was approved the Law no. 8410 dated 30.09.1998 "On public and private Radio and Television in the Republic of Albania" (hereinafter referred to as the "Law 8410"), which lead the way to the rise of competition between public and private companies in the field of radio and television thereby eliminating the possibility of the state to become the sole controller of the said field of activity. Harmonization of the law with new technologies, market realities as well as with the fulfillment of obligations that Albania has faced due to the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement ("SAA") with the European Union ("EU"), has given a high priority to the initiation of a comprehensive legal reform.
The Albanian parliament, in July 1999, decided and resolved on the establishment of the National Council of Radio and Television (NCRT), which started its activity as an independent body whose main mission was the regulation, licensing and supervision of radio and television activity in the Republic of Albania.
The legal framework governing the audiovisual broadcasting and digital broadcasting in the Republic of Albania until the adoption of the Law no. 97/2013 "On the audiovisual media in the Republic of Albania" (hereinafter referred to as the "Media Law") consisted of the following two separate laws:
– Law no. 8410, dated 30.09.1998 "On the Radio and Television in the Republic of Albania"; and
– Law no. 9742 dated 28.05.2007 "On Digital Broadcasting in the Republic of Albania" (hereinafter referred to as the "Digital Broadcasting Law").
The necessity to amend the legislation in the audiovisual broadcasting field arose as a result of the developments of electronic media services itself, technological developments in the field of electronic communications and information society as well as to fulfill obligation of the Republic of Albania related to the harmonization of Albanian legislation in the audiovisual broadcasting field with the European legislation and particularly the obligations arising from the SAA.
Until June 2007, the Law 8410 constituted the main and sole basis for the regulation of the media sector in Albania. Nonetheless, the said legislation did not respond to the rapid technological, economic, social and cultural development of the audiovisual sector, which in general occurs faster than the change of the regulatory frameworks. Law no. 8410 did not provide for the possibility of programs broadcasting through the digital technology, becoming to some extent a kind of obstacle to the development of such sector.
In order to fill in the abovementioned legal gap, the Albanian Parliament approved the Digital Broadcasting Law, having as object and purpose the determination of a regulatory framework for the introduction of digital broadcasting, thus giving the opportunity to the network and programs operators (multiplexes) to construct the networks and to broadcast through a digital way.
The Media Law regulates the activity of audiovisual media and their supporting services, based on the principle of technological neutrality in the Republic of Albania.
According to article 6 of the above law, the Audiovisual Media Authority (hereinafter referred to as "AMA") is the regulatory authority in the field of audio and audiovisual broadcasting services and other supporting services in the Republic of Albania.
The structure of AMA is constituted by the Chairman, the Vice Chairman and 5 members.
