Apple has once again demonstrated its desire to establish a strong presence in the Indian smartphone market by announcing plans to establish a new iOS App Design and Development Accelerator in Bangalore. This much was made known by the company's chief executive Tim Cook.
The Apple chief described Bengaluru as the home of India's startup scene in his statement opening the center.
"India is home to one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial iOS development communities in the world," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "With the opening of this new facility in Bengaluru, we're giving developers access to tools which will help them create innovative apps for customers around the world."
The smartphone company said the Design and Development Accelerator will feature members of Apple's team in collaboration with developers to both encourage and instruct them on the most suitable way to build apps. Apple's new project in Bengaluru is expected to focus all areas that involve the process of building an app such as performance, design and quality.
A window of opportunity to all local developers in India
Developers in India now have a window of opportunity to learn new things and showcase what they have. Apple's Design and Development Accelerator will inspire ideas into local developers and energise their ability to develop apps.
"This is a huge vote of confidence in India's developer community and a tremendous opportunity to gain world-class design and development expertise," said Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal. "Apple's support will help drive growth and accelerate progress among the country's vast talent pool."
Experts from Apple will lead briefings and also provide one-on-one app reviews for local developers in Bengaluru. This development now means the city is home to more technology startups than any other part of the country.
Per 9to5mac, the Design and Development Accelerator is expected to become fully operational by early 2017. However, announcement is being made early as a result of Cook's visit to India.
Cook is in India to among other things, explore the possibility of setting up retail store in the country.
"Apple's investment in Bengaluru through its iOS Development Accelerator will have far-reaching effects for the area's rapidly growing and highly talented developer community," said NASSCOM President R Chandrashekhar. "The skills and training they gain through this effort will significantly improve their app design and help them reach a broader market. Initiatives like these move the country forward in our efforts to advance a growth-led and sustainable technology sector."
Apple has been pushing for more of India's market, which is one of the largest in the world in terms of smartphone sales. Despite not boasting of the same purchasing power as the US and European buyers; Apple sees India as its next destination considering the saturation taking place in China.
The Indian market experienced a 56 percent rise in sales despite crashes in other regions like the US and Europe. This has further encouraged Apple to show more interest in the market—with CEO Tim Cook visiting the country to explore further possibilities.

text: Microsoft's low-cost Surface has passed through the FCC recently, and now more information about the $400 Surface tablet has been revealed. Via WinFuture.de we hear the device will be powered by Intel Pentium Gold and Pentium Silver chipsets. The cheaper models will most likely come with the Intel Pentium Silver N5000, a four-core x86 SoC from the "Gemini Lake" family running at 1.1 gigahertz base clock, and up to 2 when needed, 2.7 GHz can clock up. The more expensive versions will likely feature the Intel Pentium Gold 4410Y and the Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y, both based on the "Kaby Lake" architecture. The chips are based on 14 nm process and can be fanless. The device shows up on Geekbench with OEMTX EV1 or OEMTX EV1 LTE codenames, confirming the presence of an LTE version. There the devices run Windows 10 Pro 64bit with 4 to 8 GB of RAM. The cheaper Surfaces are expected to hit the market in the second half of 2018 and Bloomberg reports will have 10-inch screens and more rounded edges. The tablet is expected to drop the Surface Connector in favor of standard USB-C. They will also be lighter with around 9 hours of battery life. It will retain the iconic built-in kickstand. This is continued on OUR FORUM.

HILLSDALE — The Reading football team added yet another piece of hardware to its trophy case on Saturday.
The Rangers dominated Detroit Southeastern from the opening whistle until time expired in a 54-0 regional final win on Saturday at Hillsdale High.
The title is Reading's fourth regional crown in the playoff era, and first since 2008.
It also means the Rangers advance to next week's semifinal against Holton at 1 p.m. next Saturday at Battle Creek Harper Creek.
A win there would give Reading a shot at the only trophy that's eluded it since the start of the MHSAA playoffs in 1975 — the state championship.
"It's the same as every week in the playoffs, the biggest thing about a victory is that we get another week of football," Reading coach Rick Bailey said. "I just love coaching this group of guys and seeing the energy they bring to every practice and every game.
"Doing this keeps me young. I think all of us wish it could never end."
Coming off a 28-6 victory over defending state champion Ottawa Lake Whiteford last Friday, the Rangers were looking to avoid a hangover against a less-heralded but still dangerous opponent.
Any worries that Reading would be caught looking ahead or looking back were quickly dispelled by a focused, hungry performance from the Rangers.
On the first play from scrimmage, Reading fullback Elijah Strine went 53 yards on a dive play for a touchdown, giving the Rangers a 8-0 lead just 20 seconds in.
That play and a defensive three-and-out on the Jungaleers' first possession set the tone for what would be a one-sided contest.
The Rangers finished with 392 yards of total offense, 380 of that on the ground, compared to just 78 for the Jungaleers, with almost all of Southeastern's yards coming on a fourth-quarter drive against Reading's backups.
"We knew coming off of the win over Whiteford that if we were going to maintain the intensity we had in that game, we had to practice this week even harder than we did last week," Reading senior Alex Price said. "We challenged ourselves and really came out and did that this week.
"I think what we did on the field today all goes back to the quality of our preparation."
Price had a monster game at quarterback for the Rangers, rushing for touchdowns of 55, 45 and nine yards and completing a 10-yard pass to tight end Caleb Miller for a fourth score on the day.
Ethan LoPresto finished with 89 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries as well for Reading, Strine added 83 yards on eight carries, and Matt Santi chipped in 47 yards and a touchdown on four carries.
Anthony Willoughby added three two point conversions on the ground as well as Reading raced out to a 48-0 halftime lead to put the game away early.
Defensively, the Rangers conceded just four first downs to the Jungaleers, and only two against their first team defense.
Miller, Strine, Damon Black and Jayson Scoville each finished with a sack in the victory, Porter Mauk chipped in a fumble recovery, and Cole Boyd picked off a pass for the Rangers.
LoPresto led in tackles with five and Ben Affholter chipped in four.
"What I was really impressed with was how we came out and set the tone right away," Bailey said. "We had to move the game off of our home field because of the condition it was in, and I know there was some disappointment that we didn't get one last game in our house.
"You didn't see any of that carry over to the game today. With a neutral-site game coming up next week, the ability for us to go into an unfamiliar environment and not skip a beat was really great to see."
The victory for Reading means the 2018 squad ties the school record for wins (12) set in 2008, the last time the Rangers made the semifinals.
It's an important milestone for a team full of players who grew up hoping they'd get a chance to add to Reading's football legacy, and potentially take it to new heights.
"Growing up, everyone talks about and remembers the 2008 team and what they accomplished," Price said. "All along, we've wanted to put our name up there with that team, and be a part of history with them.
"Our goal has been to have a season that 10 years from now, the next group will look back on 2018 and talk about us the way we talked about the 2008 team. It's pretty crazy and really special to be there."
Through a 3-6 season in 2016 and a blown lead in the district final in 2017, this run has been a long time coming for the Rangers' decorated senior class and the players who first saw action as freshmen and sophomores three seasons ago.
"This isn't something that just happened this year, it's something we've been working toward for three years," Miller said. "All the work we put in, all the ups and downs we went through together, it made us stronger and helped us reach this point.
"Now, we have to keep going, keep digging deeper and finish the job. We know the road ahead of us and we know what we have to do to get to where we want to go."
Reading will be heavily favored again next week against the Red Devils (8-4), who snuck into the playoff field as the last Class C at-large team but have won three straight, including a 14-6 victory over Mendon for their first regional title in school history.
Breckenridge (12-0) and Harbor Beach (11-1) play in the other semifinal and will await the winner next Friday at Ford Field in Detroit.
"When you reach this point in the season, every game is do-or-die, no matter who the opponent is," Bailey said. "This squad has been focused on its goals from day one, and I only expect them to get more locked in now that we're so close to the end.
"We only get two more chances, at most, to go out there and play, so there's no reason to hold anything back. We have to be at our best from here on out."

I like the questions they apply also to tools we rent ever day when sending out tools for bore rigs the more info the better it can solve a lot of issues before they arise in hole.
By: Jody Venema
When it comes to selecting the right HDD tools for your job, the last thing you want to do is guess. There's too much on the line. So, when we get calls from drillers asking which Melfred Borzall tool to use, we always ask three important questions. Knowing these answers gives us a sense of the bigger picture, enabling us to provide the best information and suggestions for a successful drill.
We can't give a recommendation about which type of blade or backreamer is best for a particular operation until we know what kind of soil you're drilling in–and it an look a lot different below than on the surface. There are three main types of soil, and we recommend different HDD tools for each.
Sandy– Sandy soil is the easiest to drill, from the standpoint of operating pressure. But sandy conditions require a good general-purpose blade with a lot of chunky hardfacing. Our
UltraBit 3 is perfect for this, with plenty of carbide hardfacing for wear resistance. It's also packed with aggressive conical carbide cutter blocks for chewing through tougher conditions, including sand-stone. Meanwhile, your reamer should be able to achieve maximum mixing and pumping action. Our Turbo reamer features curved packer blades, all ideal for sandy conditions.
Clay– You might think of clay as being a doughy material, and it is–when it's wet. But underground, clay can dry out and compact into a fairly hard material. Therefore, you need a tool with a little more meat to it, something with more teeth. Our Tornado reamers are good examples because they've got carbide-tipped blades that are positioned to efficiently cut through hard compact materials, but still retain excellent mixing and pumping action.
Rocky – Before deciding which bit or blade to use in "rock", first determine if it is solid and hard (like granite), softer (like sandstone), fracturable (like shale), or cobbles. Each one might need to be attacked differently. For solid and hard rock, you'll need a mud motor or air hammer and a tricone or PDC bit. For reaming, you'll need to use a hole opener. (We carry a lot of these tools but if we don't offer it, we'll tell you what you need and where to find it.)
For softer rock and cobbles, you'll want something very stout with lots of thick, carbide cutters. Possibly a tool like our Ogre or Juggernaut, but with dome style carbide cutters for a better grinding action.
Rock that fractures also needs to be attacked by a lot of carbide cutters, but these should have a conical or shark-tooth profile to break up the rock into small bits. Bits like the Steep Taper Ultra Bit and Eagle Claw are a perfect weapon to go up against conditions like shale and caliche.
Your conditions include things like type and diameter of the product pipe you're installing, the profile of your bore and the distance of your shot. For basic straight shots, you'll need to know the maximum outer diameter of your pipe, then multiply by 1.5 to determine the size of backreamer you should use.
We need to know more about the bore profile (How deep? How long is the bore? Are there any drastic bends?) so we can make sure that your hole will have sufficient diameter to handle the drill string and product pipe without squeezing or stretching the pipe, or causing road humps. Remember: the longer your bore, the more critical it is that you stick to that 1.5x multiplier.
Your rig's make, model, and size tell us right way the range of tools that are designed to fit your machine. In particular, knowing the size of your rig is especially important so we can recommend the right combination of tooling, including blades, reamers, and swivels.
We need to ensure that the reamer matches your rig's power rating. You don't want a reamer on a shaft that isn't rated to handle the torque or pullback of your rig. We also need to ensure the threads and blade bolt-pattern match your OEM connections.
Knowing your rig's model number will also give us information on the drill fluid flow that is available. This will also be important when recommending particular HDD tools or the specific process for completing the bore successfully. On a side note, if yours is an uncommon rig or you need a custom HDD tooling solution, we can engineer a custom adapter to connect pretty much any tool to any rig.
An HDD distributor who asks lots of questions is a distributor who cares about your job's success. The more information you can supply, the better. Having the answers to the above questions ready when you call will help you order the right tool so you can make sure your job gets done right.
I like the questions they apply also to tools we rent ever day when sending out tools for bore rigs the more info the better it can solve a lot of issues before they arise in hole.

Vijaysingh Madhavji Merchant pronunciation (helpinfo), real name Vijay Madhavji Thakersey (12 October 1911 – 27 October 1987) was an Indian cricketer. A right-hand batter and occasional right-arm medium pace bowler, Merchant played first class cricket for Bombay cricket team as well as 10 Test matches for India between 1929 and 1951. Behind his limited Test appearances, he dominated Indian domestic cricket – his batting average of 71.64 is the second highest first class average in history, behind only that of Don Bradman. He is regarded as the founder of the Bombay School of Batsmanship, that placed more importance on right technique, steely temperament, and conservative approach rather than free flow of the bat, a tradition broken and remoulded only after the arrival of Sachin Tendulkar.
His international career included two tours of England upon which he scored over 800 runs. English cricketer CB Fry exclaimed "Let us paint him white and take him with us to Australia as an opener." His brother, Uday, also played first-class cricket.
Besides cricket, he was also associated with the Hindoostan Spinning & Weaving Mills (Thakersey Group)
Domestic Cricket
Merchant was born in Bombay, into a wealthy family in 1911. He was an "outstanding college cricketer" who captained Sydenham College, Bombay while studying there; his success for Sydenham led to selection for Hindus cricket team during the 1929 Bombay Quadrangular. He also continued to play for Sydenham and in 1931 he set the record in Bombay inter-collegiate cricket by scoring 504 runs and taking 29 wickets. His continued success in domestic cricket resulted in the call to the Indian cricket team to play against the visiting English team at Bombay Gymkhana, which was also the first Test to be played on Indian soil. Throughout his career, Merchant was involved in a rivalry with the other great Indian batsman of the era, Vijay Hazare. In the Bombay Pentangular match against the Rest, he bested Hazare's record of 242, set just in the previous match against the Muslims, with 250 not out. Hazare responded with a 309 out of a team total of 387 in the next innings, in what is generally held the greatest innings ever played in India before 1947. Merchant topped it by scoring 359 against Maharashtra in Ranji trophy.
International career
Merchant's Test career spanned 18 years but during that time he played only ten Test matches, and was unfortunate that some of the best years of his career were lost to the Second World War, when no international cricket was played. He also missed tours to Australia and the West Indies due to poor health. However, Merchant went out to score 154 in his last Test match against England in Delhi, which was also his highest Test score. A shoulder injury incurred while fielding in that game forced him to retire. All ten matches of Merchant's Test career were against England.
He went on to become a cricket administrator, broadcaster, writer and national selector, and charitable advocate of the handicapped.
Cricket with Vijay Merchant
"Cricket with Vijay Merchant" was a radio programme hosted by Indian cricketer Vijay Merchant It was broadcast on Sunday afternoons, on Vividh Bharati, Anu D. Aggarwal quotes a survey, which revealed that it was one of the most listened to sponsored programmes.
Although Vijay Merchant played only ten test matches, he is widely considered to be one of the greatest batmen of his era. He was an attractive stroke maker, who "developed fine footwork, and built a stroke repertoire featuring a lovely cut, grasscutting drives, a delicate glance and late-cut, and, until later in his career, a brilliant hook stroke." His batting average in first-class cricket was 71.64, putting him second only to Don Bradman of Australia. In India's domestic Ranji Trophy matches, he fared even better, averaging 98.75 in 47 innings. His record is especially impressive as his runs came at a time of uncovered wickets. Merchant was one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1937. Vijay Merchant is also the oldest Indian player to score a test century. He scored 154 when he was 40 years 21 days in India vs England match in 1951-52 series.

The Brockman family will be reuniting after a three-year break for a special Christmas episode of the hit television comedy Outnumbered.
Stars Hugh Dennis, Claire Skinner, Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez will resume their roles as the family of five for the new 40-minute episode on BBC.
Set on Boxing Day, the Brockmans will face all sorts of problems as they try to take on a special mission for Granddad. They encounter car problems, child problems, parent problems, emotional problems and World War Two. If the adults can't sort things out the children will have to. Like all families everything has changed and everything remains the same.
Hugh, who plays grumbling father Pete, said: "I can't wait to rejoin our TV nucleus and what better place to experience the full joy of family life than stuck in the family car."
Claire, who will be picking up her role as frazzled mum Sue, added: "I am so happy to be back dipping into the Brockmans' lives again – it is like putting on a big comfy jumper."
Created by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, guest stars on the special programme will include Daisy Edgar-Jones (Cold Feet), Ruth Madeley (The Level), Mark Benton (The Halcyon), Katherine Jakeways (Tracey Ullman), Martin Trenaman (PhoneShop) and Miles Jupp (Rev).

Children Reunite with Parents Lost in Nigeria Attacks
Seven children have been reunited with parents lost in the chaos of attacks in Nigeria's northeastern Islamic insurgency but hundreds more remain alone, officials say of youngsters who have no idea if their families are alive or dead.
"There is this fear that some of those unaccompanied children might have lost their parents during the insurgents' attack on their villages," said Sa'ad Bello, the coordinator of five refugee camps hosting scores of lonely children in Yola, capital of Adamawa state.
He was optimistic that more reunions will come as residents return to towns the military has retaken from extremists in recent weeks. "There will be more reunions when normalcy fully returns," he told The Associated Press in an interview this week.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in the past year and more than 1 million people are displaced within Nigeria because of the 5-year insurgency, according to the Washington-based Council for Foreign Relations. Hundreds of thousands of others have sought refuge across borders.
Executive secretary Haruna Hamman Furo of the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency said some children may have lost parents among thousands who fled into neighboring Cameroon, and officials are encouraging them to return home.
Bello said they have been able to reunite only seven children, working with the International Committee of the Red Cross, but 138 remain alone.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Thursday urged Boko Haram's leaders "to end the destruction of so many lives and communities" and to immediately and unconditionally release hundreds of kidnapped schoolgirls and boys.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau threatened to escalate the conflict with more attacks on Cameroon, in a video posted on YouTube.
"A man cannot be a Muslim without rebelling against democracy," he said as Nigeria prepares for Feb. 14 presidential elections.

6:30 am
The alarm on my iPhone goes off. It's time to leave the bed and begin my "me time." I have a 10-month-old baby boy named Aaron, so I indulge myself while the house is still quiet. I meditate, practice yoga, eat breakfast, and shower. I truly believe the way you start in the morning influences the rest of your day.
7:00 am
Time to wake up the baby (if he isn't already awake) and get him prepared for daycare. When my husband isn't traveling, we take turns getting Aaron ready.
8:00 am
After dropping Aaron off, I continue my drive to work, listening to music and taking some calls. I have a short commute (30-40 min).
8:30 am
Once in the office, I make a small to-do list (my weekly list is much longer!) with priority tasks I must complete before leaving for the day. Before things get busy, I enjoy a coffee with colleagues.
8:45 am
The real day starts with meetings, calls, and catching up with my emails. As a morning person, I try to draft or review important documents first. My mission as an in-house counsel is to make sure my company is compliant with local labor and employment legislation while being business-minded. The main idea is not to stop the business from working but make sure everyone (business leaders, local HR, plant managers, etc.) is aware of the rules. After all, we are all walking in the same direction.
11:00 am
My day is quite busy with one-on-ones and calls with local HR and other legal colleagues. The main difference for me between private practice and in-house is that I work for only one client, even if the topics are the same.
12:30 am
Lunchtime. A true pause of 30-45 minutes helps me recharge my batteries for the afternoon. I don't snack during the day, so I try to eat a solid lunch with proteins, vegetables, and cheese.
2:30 pm
Planning my travels to visit worksites in France and abroad. When I joined my company nearly two years ago, it was very important for me to meet all the actors to understand the business. I believe that you need to understand what the company does in order to accurately assess it. I adjust my traveling schedule with my husband's agenda to ensure there are no conflicts.
5:00 pm
Since my husband is traveling, I take my last calls and prepare to go back to pick up Aaron. (When he's in town, I usually work until 6:30 or 7 pm.)
5:30 pm
From 5:30 to 8 pm, it's Aaron's time. Cuddling, playing, changing diapers, and if the weather allows it, a walk in the park.
8:00 pm
After the baby is asleep, I answer my emails until 9:30 pm. When my husband is home, we eat dinner and catch up — talking about work, holidays, day-to-day life. I fiercely believe in flexibility; life is about balance. I know it sounds difficult to disconnect after the workday, but for me, it is essential to have proper time with my baby while he is awake. I can work better and be more focused after I've had that time with him.
10:00 pm
I watch a TV series (I like The Handmaid's Tale, The Politician, Stranger Things).
11:30 pm
Trying not to fall asleep on the couch. Failed attempt.

Stephanie Pearce: Appreciate your own beauties
Walking through a flower garden, I stop and look at the beauty of each flower. The delicate intricacies of their pedals, stems and leaves makes me stand in awe at their sight. Each type of flower has its unique design. I may be drawn to one type of flower over another, but they are still all very beautiful. The flowers are all very happy to just be themselves and be appreciated for the beauty they possess and not trying to be something they aren't. They stand tall and show themselves for what they truly are and if they are strategically placed, they can enhance one another's beauty.
At a friend's house the other day, we were talking about how we should see ourselves as women and not focus on our downfalls and where we think we lack physically. We should, instead, be thankful for the way we were made. We should also support each other and help each other to stand in their beauty. This reminded me of the flowers in the garden.
The flowers would never shrink themselves on purpose because a rose bush is standing near. The petunias let off an amazing aroma along with the roses. Its beauty is priceless, but it has to peek its head out from the thorny stem and yet, it never complains or thinks any less of itself. Even with all the thorns, it is the most popular flower for a boy to give to a girl.
This brings me back to us as women. Most women compare themselves to any and every woman they can. They find every flaw of their own and compare it. They walk around feeling less than enough based on their comparisons. Why do we do that? Why can't we look in the mirror and instead of finding our faults, build ourselves up? Why can't we be like the flowers in the flower garden enhancing each other's beauty with their own?
When I look in the mirror, it is so easy for me say, "Man, you look like crap today," when I should have that flower garden on my mind and pointing out all my beautiful qualities. It gets me nowhere except wishing I was different.
My goal for the rest of the year is to look at myself like I would look at the flowers in the garden. To compliment myself and even go so far as to appreciate all the other flowers in my garden of life around me.
It's important to teach our daughters how valuable they are as well. To let them know that they are a beautiful flower and even if they are made differently, it doesn't make them any less of a flower.
I look back at the flowers again. I take in the lessons they've taught me. I appreciate their beauty. I hope that every person realizes they are beautiful and fully values by someone. All flowers are beautiful. All people are too.

Launching an advertising sign business is a rewarding experience but it's important to plan out the business in detail before you start. We offer a friendly, comprehensive guide to give you a jump-start on planning for your business.
We share a few helpful suggestions on what it takes to start an advertising sign business.
Advertising Signs: A Stable Business Sector
Entrepreneurs are no strangers to risk. They shape their entire professional lives around the very real possibility that their next big business idea won't pan out. But the key to long-term entrepreneurial survival is to minimize your exposure to risk whenever possible, starting with the types of businesses you launch.
The advertising sign business is a stable industry with low market volatility. When one business closes, another one opens and their first stop is usually the local advertising sign provider. Other benefits of an advertising sign startup include low startup costs, minimal barriers to entry and the potential for a home-based business.
Yet despite their apparent simplicity, advertising sign startups have plenty of challenges that need to be addressed. Advertising sign entrepreneurs require at least three critical skills to be successful: (1) Creativity, (2) Technological Know-how, and (3) Good Business Sense. Startup owners lacking in any one of these areas may quickly be overwhelmed by the demands of their new business.
Budget Tips for Advertising Sign Entrepreneurs
A robust budgeting process is essential to the success of your advertising sign startup. Before you can open the doors for business, you'll need to create accurate forecasts for not only your startup expenses, but also cash reserves to carry the operation until your business begins turning a profit.
Many advertising sign startups offer several different types of signs to their customers including exterior signage, vinyl signs, magnetic signs and more. In addition to a reliable PC equipped with design software, each type of sign will require its own unique equipment (e.g. vinyl cutters, ventilation equipment, etc.) and substrates (e.g. vinyl, wood, glass).
Bootstrapping an Advertising Sign Startup
It's not uncommon for highly skilled, yet poorly capitalized sign makers to eventually express a desire to start their own sign business. When resources are limited, bootstrapping may be an effective way to get your sign company off the ground ASAP.
Personal savings, loans from family members and other informal funding sources are the backbone of a bootstrapped business model. Combined with strategies like strategic outsourcing, equipment leasing and a phased-in launch plan (i.e. initially part-time), it's possible to lay a solid foundation for a sign business without incurring excessively high loan payments or overhead costs.
We recommend networking with other small business advertising sign professionals through organizations like the U.S. Sign Council and the International Sign Association to learn how other entrepreneurs have bootstrapped their advertising sign companies.
How to Create a Winning Advertising Sign Company Business Plan
If you've done your homework, you already know that writing a business plan is the most critical thing you can do for your company.
The consequences of neglecting your advertising sign company's business plan can be severe - lenders and investors don't seriously consider funding businesses that lack a viable business plan.
Here's something else you should know: Business plans help prevent key startup mistakes. While other startup advertising sign businesses are floundering, your business will be on course for growth and profits, protected by a carefully conceived plan that reflects real world business conditions and your business's unique characteristics.
Take a Look at Competitors
Prior to launching an advertising sign business within your community, it's essential to determine how you will fit in the competitive landscape. We've provided the link below to help you generate a list of competitors near you. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of advertising sign businesses in your community.
Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.
Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space
As part of your due diligence on opening an advertising sign business, the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
Thankfully, an owner of a an advertising sign business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
How do you go about finding an advertising sign business owner in another city who you can speak with?
Simply, try our helpful link below, type in a random city/state or zipcode, and start calling.
Acquisitions vs. Startups
Unfortunately, many inexperienced advertising sign business entrepreneurs approach ownership with the mistaken idea that a startup is their only option when they could also pursue a business acquisition.
Unless you have compelling reasons to launch a new business, buying an existing advertising sign business may be the better choice.
An acquired advertising sign business is a known quantity; a startup is less certain because its forecasts depend on estimated outcomes. The key is to locate a business-for-sale that closely matches your ownership philosophy and professional objectives.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
Franchised business startups give new business owners instant access to a proven workplace routine. Solid franchise opportunities equip startup owners with training and other resources designed to streamline workflows and operations.
With many advertising sign business franchise opportunities to choose from, we recommend visiting our sign franchise directory to determine which franchisors are consistent with your vision and goals for your startup.

Canada Markets
Week 9 Year-to-Date Primary Elevator Data
Week 9 statistics reported by the Canadian Grain Commission, which covers the week ending October 2, shows elevator space in prairie elevators in fair shape, even though producer deliveries are higher than normal while shipments from elevators remain above average but below 2015 volumes.
As of October 2, producers had delivered a total of 8.964 million metric tons of principal grains into the licensed elevator system since Aug. 1, 1% higher than seen in the same period in 2015 and 15.8% higher than the five-year average for the same nine-week period. Across the Prairies, Manitoba producers have delivered a volume which is 2.9% higher than the same period in 2015, Saskatchewan producers 2.1% more and Alberta farmers 1.8% less. Looking at some of the larger crops, producers have delivered less wheat, durum and canola than the same period in 2015, although have delivered more lentils, peas and oats than seen in the first nine weeks of 2015.
At 7.383 mmt, shipments out of primary elevators are 5% below the same period last year. Across the Prairies, higher movement out of Manitoba elevators is offset by weaker movement from Saskatchewan and Alberta. By commodity, year-over-year movement is higher for peas, lentils and oats while movement of wheat, durum and canola remains behind year-ago levels.
Space in the country system remains fair as of the Oct. 2 cut-off, despite stocks being higher than the same period last year and above the five-year average. Weather-related harvest delays may also allow some breathing room and allow for some improvement in country space. As of week 9, stocks were reported at 3.608 mmt, above the 3.428 mmt reported in 2015 and the five-year average of 3.124 mmt. According to the Grain Monitor's estimate of working capacity in the primary elevator system of 4.571 mmt, current stocks represents 78.9% of this capacity, up from 72% the previous week.
Time will tell if rail performance will become an issue. Again, the delayed harvest, the need for huge volumes on the Prairies to be dried and the significant volumes of lower quality grain which will bypass elevators will take pressure off of the rail system over time. The most recent Weekly Performance Update from the Ag Transport Coalition points to a significant gap in performance between Canada's two railroads. CN Rail fulfilled 94% of the hopper car demand for week 8 for a shortfall of 304 cars, while CP Rail only supplied 75% of the hopper car demand for the week, shorting the country system 1,104 cars. This bears watching.

SEO can Really do Wonders with Your Business Yield
There was a time when we used to see the TV commercials and used to hear on radio about the merging brands of the world. Another major source was the newspaper where people used to read about the most trustworthy businesses, their brands and their products. Then there came a time that all these means became so much expensive that most of the companies were compelled to allocate major chunk of their finances on mere advertisement purpose. They could not spare most of their resources on enhancing their operation capacities on improving their products but they were to spend all this money to access to their potential customers. But now the time has changed and so are the advertisement trends. Do you remember when it was the last time since you saw some commercial on TV with full concentration? Talking about the radio with the young generation is just mockery I guess. Same is the case with the newspaper as who on earth would like to carry that bunch of pages when each one of us has got the certain app installed inside our smart phone to get all the information. Well, the time has really changed and so are the people. They are now more inclined and interested in using their smart phones.

Hairy Jayne isn't actually hairy, she's a hairdresser who creates her own hair care range using natural and biodegradable ingredients and fragrant essential oils. She teaches people how to make products customised to their hair type and their personal fragrance preference.
Hairy Jayne's inspiration not only comes from her love of natural and fragrant essential oils and her fascination with hair but how real life people relate to the stuff that grows on their heads.


text: The Health Ministry has plans to ban hookah use in traditional restaurants and rest houses along roads across the country, said deputy minister Ali Akbar Sayyari. "Tobacco consumption is a leading cause of various types of cancer in Iran, and reducing its consumption needs promoting a culture of abstinence," he said, ISNA reported. Previously the ministry had banned hookahs in open-air gardens in cooperation with the judiciary and municipalities. Sayyari said Iranians spend around 100,000 billion rials ($3 billion) on tobacco products every year.

These are perilous times; like no generation has ever seen. The stage is being set for an attempt to destroy Israel with WMD's, America has almost no border control from ISIS, marriage is being redefined, the dollar corrupted, much of the church is compromised, etc…
Our soul contains our mind, will and emotions. I used to idolize my mind for years and have now been unlearning "leaning on my own understanding" because that is how I must "forsake my soul to preserve it." We all have different aspects of our soul that we naturally lean towards. Some are more emotional than intellectual but our will is the main thing that drives our soulish nature!
When I tried to prepare for the coming destruction because of fear and not in faith…I was following my soul and not the Spirit of God. It's "sowing to the flesh" that Paul wrote about in Gal.6 and Rom.8.
It's the "way that seems right to a man but ends in death" (failure).
Because Paul wrote in Romans that whatever is not of faith is sin!
If we try to preserve our lives in this world, we will lose it. It's foolishness to the world but it is the wisdom of God, which is perfect and His way is too simply "seek His Kingdom…His righteousness." Forsake the world (and it's cares) for his sake and endure the cross that He has given you and He will keep you from the hour of trial that is to come upon all who dwell on the face of the earth.
He really does expect us to take no concern for tomorrow but seek Him. He is our daily bread. He does provide for all of our needs according to His riches in grace because His miraculous power is completed in our human weakness! Much of the church has become distracted by the wisdom of the world and forsaken the simple child-like faith that Jesus commends us to have and walk by…the righteous (continue) to live by faith.
This is the place of the shelter of the Most High in Psalm 91 and God is just as powerful today as He was in the wilderness for the Israelites…He is the only one who will not change!
We started this race in faith by Spirit. Let's finish in faith by the Spirit! The darkness of the world is increasing but, we are his light that will shine bright in the darkness and it's our faith in HIM that is the victory that overcomes the world!
2 promises from Daniel about the last days…
"The people that know (really intimately know and trust) their God shall be strong and do great exploits." and "And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." (Dan.11:32 and Dan.12:3)
The wisdom of God in this hour is needed to know our righteousness in Christ alone and walk by faith. The author and finisher of our faith is more than able to complete the work that He has started but, we need to yield completely to him and make him more than the first love of our life. He is the first and the last.

Ready to replace your air conditioning system in Kansas City? The Experts at Neal Harris Service Experts have you covered from the beginning to the end of the process.
We'll help you decide which quality system is right for your home—and budget—including energy-efficient and high-efficiency models.
Is your central air conditioner…
More than 8 years old? It could be cooling much less efficiently than newer units. A new air conditioner can help you save on your electricity bill. And one low monthly payment may be not as expensive as consistent repairs for the old one.
More than 15 years old? Repairs are often costlier and more recurrent. This is due to parts deteriorating and R22 refrigerant being eliminated.
Also known as Freon, this cooling chemical is considered one of the worst offenders in ozone deficiency. Today's units are cooled by Puron, which has an ozone depletion rating of zero. It also ranked slightly better on energy-efficiency studies than R22.

When you take into account our great financing plans and the possibility for long-term savings, a new energy-efficient cooling system may be more reasonable than you think.

LOST BOY: Watch The Gorgeous Proof Of Concept For Ash Thorp And Anthony Scott Burns' Punk SciFi
Anthony Scott Burns should be a familiar name to many readers of this site by now. We've raved about his short film work in the past and while word about Burns has spread thanks to his segment in the Holidays horror anthology - he did Father's Day - and fans await his feature debut Our House, he's back again to tease a different upcoming project.
Teaming up once again with collaborator Ash Thorp along with Dutch production house PostPanic - the company responsible for the gorgeous Sundays scifi short now being turned into a feature - they've just released the proof of concept for a punk scifi short titled Lost Boy. And it is - typically - gorgeous.
LOST BOY is an ambitious sci-fi concept heavily influenced by the American action classics and Japanese samurai films. LOST BOY represents the second feature in a series of director-driven film projects from the Amsterdam-based production company, PostPanic Pictures. In similar exposure to SUNDAYS, the aim of PostPanic Pictures is to set the international community alight once again, this time with the LOST BOY concept short.
The idea of LOST BOY was born years back by Ash Thorp's passion for sketching out these unique characters and scenarios, which quickly gained a huge fan base. Once Anthony Scott Burns and Ash Thorp joined together for collaborative efforts on LOST BOY, it further evolved with a fascinating storyline and uncompromising vision of society's far distant future sure to surprise audiences.
A true collaboration between Burns and Thorp who share writer, director and design credits you can watch the complete proof of concept below.
Around the Internet
How many times can I up vote this? What a vision.
Great looking short, borrowing from a ton of different visual sources. These folks should direct the next Vin Diesel as Riddick movie.
This looks awesome. Basically 3 minutes worth of short with enough slo-mo to stretch it to 7 but it did sure look good :p
Ugh... This is vacant of anything. It's the perfect example of the soulless, meaningless trash that's made for entertainment today. Only if it were made in irony, then it would actually have made a statement.
Reminds me of my ex-GF; real pretty, but nothing to say. Yes, it looks great, the vibe is cool, but let's be honest, the character design is recycled/stolen from a handful of cyberpunk titles in the 80's. There's zero characterization. I really don't understand what the story was; Cyborg dude chases after a girl, destroys her head, uh-oh she's a bot! Now ride motorcycle away.
It could have been a 2 minute short - instead it's a painfully overwrought 9. The technical execution is on point, the rest is a missed opportunity.

Stucky, Harley J. (1920-2005)
Harley J. Stucky: professor, author and minister, was born 26 July 1920 in rural McPherson County, Kansas, USA to Julius Stucky (13 April 1880-5 July 1962) and Olga Krehbiel Stucky (1 January 1889-1 August 1959).

Financial News has recognized two of BNY Mellon's female leaders, Laura Ahto and Susan Revell, in its "Top 100 Most Influential Women in Finance" which presents the female executives driving change across the European financial services industry.
Brussels-based Laura Ahto is chief executive officer of BNY Mellon's European bank. She was recently appointed as executive sponsor of BNY Mellon's Brexit transformation program and is tasked with driving Brexit strategy and implementation as well as liaising with European policymakers.

Susan Revell, general counsel and chief controls officer, EMEA, oversees risk and compliance, government relations, public policy and regulatory affairs at BNY Mellon. Supporting EMEA Chairman Michael Cole-Fontayn in Brexit discussions, she co-chairs BNY Mellon's regional portfolio change committee, leading strategy and implementation on programs including Mifid II and the European Union's Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive.
Revell also fronts BNY Mellon's HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter pledge to ensure at least 30% of UK hires are women and/or diverse by December 2017.

Isn't this great? I keep telling myself, "Check the market!. Look at other books similar to your own! Compare them. What makes the one that is published stand out?" Yes, all of this is good, but without sincerity, without telling the truth, it is nothing. Yes, I believe this. Truly, I do. Be genuine. Keep it simple. Stick to your roots, the adventure stems from there. Liberate yourself from the idea that you have to be so original, that you are almost like the next guy, but not quite--you have a twist. The best I can explain it is with this dialogue from Stranger Than Fiction, a movie about a man named Crick, who's life is lent to chaos as he discovers someone else is narrating his life--something only to be found in books.
Dr. Mittag-Leffler: I'm afraid what you're describing is schizophrenia.
Harold Crick: No, no. It's not schizophrenia. It's just a voice in my head. I mean, the voice isn't telling me to do anything. It's telling me what I've already done... accurately, and with a better vocabulary.
Dr. Mittag-Leffler: Mr. Crick, you have a voice speaking to you.
Harold Crick: No, not TO me. ABOUT me. I'm somehow involved in some sort of story. Like I'm a character in my own life. But the problem is that the voice comes and goes...
Dr. Mittag-Leffler: Mr. Crick, I hate to sound like a broken record, but that's schizophrenia.
While noticing something is different about his life, Crick comes to believe that the narration in his head is somehow unique. Dr. Mittag-Leffler points out that it is nothing rare, but only likely to be schizophrenia. Crick tries desperately to explain that his case is original, unique. Not only are the voices not talking "TO [him] but ABOUT [him]" and telling [him] what [he has] already done...accurately, and with a better vocabulary." So all along Crick was quite original without knowing it, even without the voice in his head, but only because the author made him so, without knowing it! After all, they do not meet until the end. Do you see my point?
"There is profundity in simplicity"--Burt Stout

Ball house
Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park contains a real treasure, in addition to Wilhelmshöhe Castle. From the outside, the building appears extremely simple. The interior with the large, magnificently painted ballroom with its crystal chandeliers is even more amazing because of this.
The ball house was built by the young Leo von Klenze during the reign of Napoleon's brother, Jérôme Bonaparte, in 1808/09 as a court theatre. The pavilion is the first building designed by the renowned Munich architect. It was given its current splendid interior design in 1828 under Elector William II (reg. 1821 - 1831) by the Kassel architect Johann Conrad Bromeis (1788-1855).
The ball house can be visited in guided tours in the warmer months. The ball house can also be rented out for cultural events in the summer months.
