Gary Oldman Aura Reading Movie Review. Since the acclaimed actor won raves for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in "Darkest Hour"! Inquiring minds who read auras want to know.
Performing, how much did he change? Noteworthy performance around here require something really, really hard to do. Changing all the way down to the actor's deep astral energies and subconscious mind?
The Nominated Role
First of all, the movie is "Darkest Hour." Here's the trailer.
While portraying Sir Winston Churchill, Gary Oldman plays one of my heroes. Also one of yours?
Interestingly, the movie chooses to dramatize the British prime minister while newly elected.
- Partly Churchill's driven to rallying his nation. Fighting a ferocious enemy.
- Yet he's also driven to appeasement: Bowing to pressure to placate Hitler. Of course, history buffs will recognize the period…. During the early days of World War II.
Incidentally, fans of "The Crown" may remember John Lithgow's performance as Churchill. Do any of you Blog-Buddies remember that amazing, Emmy-winning portrayal? I sure do. Simply loved it.
Nuts & Bolts
New to aura reading movie reviews? Here's some good backstory about aura reading. Noteworthy: to me this is a form of energetic literacy, that's all! Quite different from what you've probably encountered so far about auras.
But, if you're spiritually minded, you might also want to know this optional aspect: What makes aura reading "spiritual." (In addition, this link explains how I do aura reading movie reviews.)
When taking a stately tour through different aura parts, let's compare one chakra databank at a time. Within Gary Oldman's aura. Afterwards we'll explore something delicious. How many Aura Change Points does he win?
Surprising or not, vivid performances don't necessarily include changing the actor's energies deeply. Maybe he'll score well here. Maybe he won't.
- Regardless, here's the photo I'll use to research the actor's role as Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
- While here's a photo of Gary Oldman playing himself.
Gary Oldman Aura. Root Chakra Databank for Distinguishing Objective Reality from Subjective Reality
Technically, this will be a first-time researched chakra databank. Why chose it to research in this blog post? Because strong political leadership requires doing well in this chakra databank.
Also, I'm curious about how differently the actor might handle this difference, subconsciously. Especially interesting, the possible contrast!
As Winston
80 feet. Somewhat over-functioning.
Amazingly, Winston can focus in to a degree of detail that few people attain. Yet he also can zoom out to see a larger picture than others notice.
And all of this, while sorting out which aspects are about what really happens in objective reality. Versus how people react with feelings and theories.
Quite a stunning talent, fully optimized!
As Gary
4 inches. Close to shut-down.
Significantly ensconced in his inner world of subjective fascination.
Quite dismissive, personally, of objective reality. Unless it's attached to his art, his acting.
Aura Change Points
1 extraordinary, magnificent point.
Gary Oldman Aura. Solar Plexus Chakra Databank for Using Power
As Winston
A thousand miles. Magnificently over-functioning, under the circumstances.
Evidently this version of Winston Churchill is a fearless user of power. Not only comfortable with wielding power. Beyond that, enjoying the thrill of it as a high-stakes game.
As Gary
28 feet. Astoundingly, finally a chakra databank within normal range!
Seems understandable to me, Gary Oldman has quite an ego trip going. He likes using his power to get what he wants. Since he feels he deserves that by now.
Understandable egoism — not disgusting, as with some super-famous folk. Understandable given that Oldman is a highly-esteemed actor. In a highly competitive business.
Aura Change Points
1 powerfully earned aura change point.
Gary Oldman Aura. Solar Plexus Chakra Databank for Sharing Power
As Winston
28 feet.
Apparently he puts on his manners for such occasions. Acting polite enough. Talking the talk.
Yet inwardly disgusted. Since he feels he could do a better job than anyone else.
(Might be right about that, too.)
As Gary
5 inches. Quite close to shut down.
Might the word "loathing" be too strong? I don't think so.
Seems to me, the great Gary Oldman doesn't like taking direction. Not even from directors. And even a hint that he might not be the one in charge of his performance? Ugh, almost enough to bring on a case of hives.
Aura Change Points
1 point. But that's just because 1 is the highest score possible for these Aura Reading Movie Reviews.
Gary Oldman Aura. Root Chakra Databank for Emotional Self-Awareness
As Winston
1 foot. Habitually under-functioning.
Seems as though the art of denying emotions lives in this version of Winston Churchill. Almost making it like an Olympic sport.
As in: Feeling just about nothing emotionally. Caring less. And particularly admiring tough guys who likewise can divest themselves of that "terrible weakness," human emotions.
As Gary
Out to the moon. Exquisitely over-functioning.
Apparently Gary Oldman is in love with having emotions. He relishes the variety. Also the nuance. Because, as an actor, he is an artist through and through. And artists paint with their feelings.
Aura Change Points
1 more Aura Change Point, given with awe.
Gary Oldman Aura. Throat Chakra Databank for Communication to Gain Respect
As Winston
Out to the moon. Comfortingly over-functioning, given his job in the movie. (Not role. Job.)
Divine eloquence is available. On demand.
Actually, a soul-stirring eloquence.
As Gary
4 inches. For now. It's expandable for "filling the room." And then some.
Huge power in reserve — Gary Oldman's got that. Ordinarily he doesn't need to push. Because he can release persuasiveness and eloquence… Like a real-life superhero.
If only superhero admirers cared about things like eloquence. (This admirer sure does.)
Aura Change Points
1 more absolutely amazing Aura Change Point.
In Conclusion
Aura Change Points are 5 out of 5.
Without a doubt, this is the best performance I've researched all year.
Particularly impressive? Remember that Throat Chakra Databank for Communication to Gain Respect?
To bring that degree of eloquence, specialized eloquence verging on genius!
Quirky man, that Gary Oldman. I say, celebrate all his quirks. He's earned the right to them.

Out-Dribble Diabetes
July 21st, 2014
I'm not sure what's next but I am officially registered for the Chicago and New York City Marathons! They are two of largest marathons in world! Marathoning is incredible. How else can up to 50,000 people from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures come together and participate in the same activity? Everyone of them has a story. A reason why they are running. What got them there. What they've had to overcome to be in the position to win.
As far as I'm concerned, any individual that crosses the finish line of any race is a winner! Last year in NYC, a blind runner being escorted heard the sound of my basketballs and called me out. He smiled and yelled "That's Doctor Dribble!" The happiness on his face was unmeasurable. That sort of experience money can't buy and will be with me forever.
Every mile meant something to me. I ran those races for a nonprofit, the Chicago Diabetes Project, a global collaboration of scientists advancing a cure for type 1 diabetes. Did you know that diabetes kills more Americans each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined? One in twelve Americans have it and in the next 24 hours over 130 people will develop kidney failure because of diabetes.
I'm proud to be running for the same cause again this year; to stop diabetes one dribble at a time! Please support me in making a donation to the Chicago Diabetes Project on my fundraising page by copying and pasting the following link:
My goal is to raise $3,000. No donation is too small or large. Please help me out-dribble diabetes!
Thank you,

"Take action before Lack of Taking Action takes Care of You…" (Part 2 of 3)
Well the cats out of the bag now. You've been informed, you've heard of the danger, you've heard what signs to watch for. You've heard the beat of drums calling to be prepared. Are you prepared? Can you start a fire? How about hot wire a car? Have you taken the short amount of time it takes to learn how to deliver a baby? Do you even know how to properly strip a tank?
Come on, I'm not asking you guys to be Rambo here. But wait, maybe I am. I'm asking if you get up in the morning, dry shave with a knife (ladies I could be talking about your legs), look yourself in the mirror and say, "Alright you heaving sexual tyrannosaur, are you ready rip today's eyes out and piss in it's skull?"
Well if you don't maybe you should. Because I bet John Wayne did.
What am I talking about? You have got to be prepared for every day like it's Z-day! It's the day that the zombies might come shuffling into YOUR office building and think you look like a KFC Double Down. Are you gonna just lay down and roll over Double Down boy? Hell no! You're gonna grab the broad sword you keep under your desk and ask "Which of you bitches is gonna cry uncle first!?"
And of course it's ok to keep a broad sword under your desk! No you don't have to ask for permission to have it there. Did goddamn Conan ask permission to carry a broad sword? No damnit! He was to busy giving one-hitters* to camels!
*One-Hitter – Common slang term used for a single blow delivered by an individual, usually with their fist, that leaves their rival in a broken mess on the floor.
Well maybe you haven't gotten to that stage yet. Maybe swords and dry shaves are a little to edgy for you. If that's the case, I feel sorry for your children. But if you take some of the advice we give you. Then you might be able step up your game enough to make yourself useful to a group of pipehitters ready to make a stand against the zombie hordes.
Since some of you are still having doubts about this, we have decided to wait until the last post to actually give you some helpful training tips to prepare yourself. So instead I'll start with a list of movies and other valuable educational material you should review to get yourself ready. Don't let lack of taking action take care of you.
I only own three books and I have two copies of each. These two stacks of books are easily accessible and reviewed constantly. Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, The King James Bible, and Max Brooks' "The Zombie Survival Guide" should be read constantly. The majority of the rest of the information you need is online, that's where the real magic happens.
Most of you aren't really ready to go down the rabbit hole yet, so I'll spare you. But if you check only one site, check this. Any site that has a shirt that says "Fuck the Revolution, Bring on the Apocalypse" is good in my book. You might even see that it talks about this weekends ZombieCon, you could learn something that might save your life.
Just a small sample for you:
Rambo 1 – Learn how to "deal" with unfriendly "locals" and "Warlords" when the Zombie apocalypse destroys our civilized way of life. It won't only be the undead you have to worry about, but those that want what you have. Remember, trust is for the weak, and believe me when I say it will be them that draws first blood, no pun intended.
Rambo 2 – Educational information on how to take out rambling hordes of Zombies with Jungle warfare tactics. (First Blood should have taught you how to deal with our native Northwest environments.) And let's not forget learning the use of explosive arrows. Shock and awe, Robin Hood style.
BraveHeart and Training Day – These will teach you how to inspire a rowdy mob to make a stand against zombie invaders and also how to run shit in your neighborhood. This will come in handy when blocks become strongholds against Zombie blitzkriegs.
Zombie Land, Planet Terror, and Sean of the Dead are full of shit, That crap won't ever happen. One viewing of Dawn of the Dead could save your life.
The Old Country Syllabus is also full of movies that will help you find those testicles buried deep down in there. But when all else fails, anything in life can be learned from a Patrick Swayze movie. Even Ghost…
Friday – Get ready for hell ladies, it's time for Zombie Apocalypse strength and conditioning.
A Carrie and Z Joint Production
16 Responses to ""Take action before Lack of Taking Action takes Care of You…" (Part 2 of 3)"
Z's right – it's a slippery slope when you start thinking about this shit and checking online resources. Just remember that when all hell breaks loose, the interweb won't be online for very long. Analog reference material (e.g. books) will be very useful, but if you need to saturate your brain ahead of time, I also recommend the following movies:
Last of the Mohicans – Running for days on end? Check. Total badass hand to hand skills? Check. Willingness to shoot a colleague to spare him a painful death? Check. For extra credit, ignore the romance between Hawkeye & Cora Munroe and focus on Magua's steely resolve.
Red Dawn – AKA: Leave the security of all you know in an instant. Carve out a life in the woods. Hide family heirlooms. Find time for tackle football, even if a broken bone means certain death. Wage guerilla warfare on a foe that didn't even factor into your thinking last week. 'Avenge me boys. Avenge me!'
Alive – If you're hungry enough, could you? How to draw upon religious symbolism to assist with carving up the ol' rump roast.
Mo those movies and refrences are so fucking classic I can't believe forgot them.
And Mauga is the orignal BAMF… The Dad was a OG as well
The amount of cultural references in this post is outstanding. I dare someone to go parse through this post and find said reference and give a qucik tidbit about it.
Anyway, Z brought up a certain movie as bullshit which should not be viewed for your zombie survival, Shaun (not Sean) of the Dead. I do agree that one should take information for surviving a life or death situation such as zombies roaming the planet from a movie which main purpose is lampoon the genre. But it does give me one tidbit, a nugget of information. In Shaun of the Dead, the big plan is to rally at the Winchester, their favorite pub. At a key scene, they meet another group of survivors and ask them where they were going. Their response to the military, Shaun's response the pub. Awkwardness ensues.
What is the point? I love our gym and I want everyone in our gym to have my back in this last stand of the living. But having the rally point at the gym is just a bad idea. What are we supposed to do, all sit up in the crawlspace above the bathrooms eating Paleo kits. Science shows that zombies will eventually just go away but that might be cutting it close. I like the sound of Johnnie's plan of rallying at a nice fortified position with guns in a non-centralized location aka a place not crawling with so many zombies the POTUS decides to glass the city.
Nickay is the music at the Yen Wor to loud for your ginger ears. The plan has always been to rally at Forges, Johnny and I have said this before. It was our "Red Dawn Plan" thankfully Mo brought that movie up earlier so I'm not left hanging here.
But do you know where Forge lives Nickay… Montana….
How are you gonna get there? To steal a line from Bodhi "There's cliffs on both sides! I'm not gonna paddle to New Zealand!"
And neither will you. You will not paddle to New Zealand, you won't get beamed up by Scotty, and you certainly arent gonna go it alone.
We need to Mad Max this bitch. The gym is simply a rally point for all of the bad mother fuckers in the area. Then we head out. The gym have large windows, a garage door, and very little high ground. That'd be the worse place to make a stand.
No my friened we stick to the plan, rally, then get our asses out of town. Don't let lack of taking action take care of you.
So ok our rally point is across a bridge which will be jammed packed with cars fleeing to the mountains? Ok. Sounds like a plan. Also you even state that the rally point is not a sound defensive position. There are better areas in West Seattle to rally my friend (like any place with the Sound as last time I recall zombies cannot swim).
It feels like you are making this plan up as you go along, I mean what route over the Cascades are we taking? Where will we find fuel? Help me out oh fearless leader.
There is a member of the OCBC with his pilots license, and that would be me. It will be like Con Air minus the shackles.
Thank you Grambo, this plan is starting to get "wings". I also would not be opposed to a boat.
A boat to Montana
Shotgun, Grambo!
Well…shotgun with a shotgun and your wife, my child & your kids on our lap.
Fine Nickay you take the Mines of Moria. I'll see you on the other side if you make it.
Yeah like the Gap of Rohan is that much better, Boromir.
We're going to have to get primal on this.
I think that rallying at and subsequently hijacking the West Seattle Water Taxi is a good startl. Depending on the time of year, we might get lucky and find that we can jack a cruise ship on the other side of the harbor. If not we'll have to settle for the Bainbridge Ferry which would still make a pretty sick Strength Barge. Now steer that wayward ship South toward warmer seas and consider the GTL. . .
Fishing for sustenence with Gel in the beards, JagerBomb showers after coastal supply raids- Would you like to be a Post-Apocolyptic Pirate Guido? Well yes. Yes you would. Do you really want to survive in a world where you can't keep it crispy? THINK OF THE GT-Goddamn-L!
Nickay Nickay Nickay… do you not recall the little on of us all, yes that would be me, grew up running free through the cascades? My knowledge mixed with Grambo's is all you need to get us through the rest of Washington… I know the area like the back of my hand… you know us kids in Cle town had no electricity or anything like that so we spent our time preparing the woods for a time such as this… as for after Washington we'll have to look for Johnny or Jess for that one…
Roo, your comments and expertise of the Cascades gives me strength to proceed.

As the new year marches ever closer, it is time for adults to ensure their affairs are in order. This is the perfect time to get things situated so you can start the year off on the best foot possible. One thing you need to do right away is get your estate plan set. This can help your loved ones have a more secure future if something happens to you.
Shockingly, more than half of the adults in this country haven't taken the time to create an estate plan. There are many factors to think about when you're trying to create a plan that meets the needs of your situation. While you might be focused on what is going to happen to your assets when you pass away, don't neglect to make plans in case you become incapacitated.
The components of your estate plan all come together to provide comprehensive instructions for the end of your life through your death. These include your will, trusts, advance directive and letter of instruction. If you have children, you also need to include information about guardianship.
Many people don't realize that the tools available for estate planning are fairly flexible. It is often possible to mold the plan in a way that meets your specific and unique needs. While you are developing this comprehensive plan, you should prepare to discuss the specific points in it. Letting your heirs, or at least the executor, know what's included in your estate gives them time to ask you questions and get clarifications if there are any needed.

A heart attack is also known as a myocardial infarction. It is caused by a blood clot that prevents the flow of blood to your heart muscle (myocardium). Without this blood supply the myocardium has an inadequate supply of oxygen and therefore causes damage to the muscle. Myocardial infarction is common in the UK, most often occurring in those over 50. It can occur in those known to have heart disease or it can happen out of the blue in people with no previous heart disease symptoms.
The most common symptom is severe chest pain, often feeling like a heavy pressure on your chest. This pain may travel down your left arm or up into your jaw. You might also sweat, feel nauseas or feel faint. This pain is usually more severe and has a longer duration then the pain experienced in angina. In some people a myocardial infarction can only cause mild discomfort or no pain at all. Some individuals die suddenly if a large part of their heart muscle is affected.
The most common cause of a myocardial infarction is a blood clot in one of the arteries that supply the heart muscle (coronary arteries). Risk factors for development of blood clots in coronary arteries include: smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight, having a high cholesterol, being physically inactive, having a diet high in fat, diabetes, having a family history of heart disease and certain ethnic groups such as British Asians.
Treatment of myocardial infarction includes a number of therapies. Aspirin to reduce the stickiness of platelets that have formed the clot. Other antiplatelet medication may be given to further thin the blood. Heparin injection will prevent further blood clots forming. Pain relief such as morphine.
There are two methods to restore blood flow in the blocked coronary artery. These treatments will save more of the heart muscle from dying if they are given quickly after the onset of the myocardial infarction: Emergency angioplasty is the best treatment available. This procedure involves a tiny wire is passed into the arteries of the heart via a large artery in the groin or the arm. A balloon on the end of the wire is blown up inside the blocked part of the artery to open it up. A stent can be put into the widened artery to help keep it open. The alternative to emergency angioplasty is an injection of clot busting medicine called streptokinase.

Regino Alexis celebrated his 18th birthday Wednesday afternoon with cake, donuts and a signed letter of intent.
In front of a packed audience inside the Cardinal Newman cafeteria, the Crusaders' defensive lineman signed to play football at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio.
Alexis picked the Purple Raiders, who compete in the NCAA Division III Ohio Athletic Conference, over 15 other schools.
"I chose Mount Union because it was best for me and my family to further my academic and athletic career," he said. "The coaches and players really treated me like family throughout the whole process."
Alexis, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound defensive end, had a standout season for the Crusaders in 2017, recording 54 tackles – including 12 for loss – and 17 sacks.
Following the season, he was named to the Post's All-Area first team.
But he didn't pick up his first offer until late November, when the regular season already had concluded.
Still, he says he didn't get discouraged with the slow pace of offers.
"I kept working – working hard," he said.
Alexis is the No. 52-ranked player on the Post's Class of 2018 Big Board.

|Notizen des Weinguts:
|"A great wine is always born from a great grape", as Olivier Bernard likes to say. Thanks to a long and meticulous conditioning, the vineyard of La Solitude delivers today, vintage after vintage, grapes rich in both colour and aroma, collected at perfect maturity. In the manner of Chevalier, this last characteristic rests on a very high degree of requirement in terms of sorting of the grape selection. The harvest is done by hand, with small crates, by an oversized team, in order to operate in the quickest of deadlines in conjunction with weather conditions, so as not to "chase the grape harvest". The precision of operations During the sorting of the vine, the visual criteria, which determines the harvest of the white grapes isn't sufficient enough to guarantee the impeccable quality of the red grapes. With regards to the latter, the sorting procedure at the vine is then followed by another selection procedure around a table, after which de-stemming takes place. The grapes, successively sorted bunch by bunch, then grape by grape, are then transported towards the tanks by means of a system comprised of a mobile vat and an electric fork-lift truck, which avoids any pumping and preserves the integrity of the skin of the fruit, which is responsible for the tannins. Olivier Bernard adds: "It is precision which governs the grouping of these operations allowing the wines of La Solitude to avoid the pitfall of rustic simplicity." A natural wine-making process The vinification happens in vats, generally with internal wine yeast (that is to say wine yeast naturally present in our vines), with a moderated temperature base and a measured extraction comparing vintage, grape variety, and fragmentation. The malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrels. The evolution of the Domaine's wines towards a more supported structure, with fine and elegant tannins, authorises the winemaker to increase little by little the proportion of new wood during the raising process, this compliment being carried out via one year old wine barrels. Olivier Bernard states: "The same high standards at Chevalier are also at La Solitude. The purpose here is also to entirely produce a great classical wine expressing the component elements of the terroir... When we arrived at La Solitude, we found ourselves confronted by a merlot wine, fresh and fruity, but lacking in complexity. It was quickly understood that the potential of the terroir was being under-used and that surpassing these standards were conceivable. Thanks to the hot gravel soil of the Domaine, very favourable for maturing the cabernet grape, it was possible to guide the wine definitions towards a deeper, more complex structure, conforming to the very best of the Grand Cru wines of the wine producing region"

Conceptual photography goes beyond the boundaries of technique and gives images an extra dimension. At Studio 38°Celsius, it differs from autonomous photography.
Studio 38°Celsius works business to business and we therefore make conceptual photographs primarily on request. We think up, create and refine the image so that what we have in mind is conveyed to those viewing the image, whether they're conscious of it or not.
Our goal is to think up concepts and then realize them as photographs which move or persuade the viewers in the way we're aiming for. Photos with an idea behind them – photos that spur viewers to action or get them to identify with a brand.
We are keen to be inventors in this field. And in this field, we like to put the focus on infinity at Studio 38°Celsius, not through lack of interest but rather to explore the horizons of the possible. Come to the heart of the countryside here in Overasselt, near Nijmegen, for an inspiring meeting. We can show you examples from our portfolio of conceptual photography that will give you our warm glow!

SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - The United States won no specific new promises of Arab help for struggling Iraq after a gathering Tuesday of several nations listed as recipients of an expanded aid and weapons package for friendly states in
Iraq's Arab neighbors repeated a general pledge to promote stability in Iraq, torn by more than four years of war and bitter sectarian divisions that have killed thousands and driven far more from their homes.
"I think we know what the obligations of the neighbors are," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, adding that Egypt and other U.S. allies are working to meet past promises of relief of Iraq's heavy international debt, additional foreign aid and help tamping down violence inside Iraq.
Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are making a rare joint show of diplomatic force during two days of meetings with Arab allies — part of an 11th-hour effort to rally diplomatic and practical help for the U.S.-backed Shiite-led government in Baghdad. The tour also opens talks on a proposed U.S. arms package for Arab states worth more than $20 billion........

Tying it All Together
Christian Oth
The last entry of our five-part series highlighting the creative series helps you tie it all together. It's always best when there's someone in charge of the event, whose main focus is tying the entire vision together. It's usually the planner who overlooks the visual elements ahead of time, making sure that the design element and photography work in tandem. Since communication between the professionals is key—the planner arranges all of these behind-the-scenes conversations, without troubling the couple. An example would be the important meeting between the lighting designer and photographer. Sometimes the lighting is great to the naked eye, but in photography the concentration might be too high of a contrast.
It's also crucial to understand the importance of a great timeline! This timeline can help guarantee that the visual elements work together, especially for the photography. Collaboration is the key to tying an event together, but often works best when there's a planner overlooking it. Think of a wedding like a movie set. There are many different creative elements — but only one director who runs the show.

I read this blog (and Matt Allington, and Ken Puls) pretty religiously. But PowerPivotPro is probably my favorite because it deals with a lot of real-world situations, not just technical solutions. So, I'm going to continue that theme and talk about a different kind of problem-solving.
How many of you build reports for line-level or lower/middle management? Show of hands? Lots of you? Yep, that's what I figured. And of those, how many of them care if the report has:
- Pretty visuals?
- Complicated analysis?
- Cool navigation buttons?
How many of them care about anything beyond "Can it show me, really quickly, the answer to one specific question? And can it give me all the data behind that when I need to export it out and work on it"?
The problem I run up against, usually, isn't that I don't know how to do what they need to be done. It's that I can't get enough detail about what they want to make it in the first place. Even when I can get an outline about what they want, once I make it we end up going back and forth. It turns out what they asked for isn't what they needed, and they decide they'd be better off doing it manually like they have been. They're resigned and frustrated and I'm annoyed that we can't get a couple of relatively minor issues resolved. It's a no-win scenario.
But…Here's the thing about Power BI (or Power Pivot/DAX, though honestly these days I start in Power BI unless there's a specific reason not to). It's quick to do most kinds of basic analysis. I don't mean that it takes half the time or a quarter of the time. I generally find that it takes a twentieth of the time compared to other solutions when you're talking about things that are just slightly too complicated for regular Excel.
It's fast enough, in fact, that you can build your analysis right in front of their eyes.
So instead of this flow:
- I get an email with some random CSV's and a request.
- I take a look at it, figure out what kinds of questions I think I need to ask and schedule a meeting.
- Initial half hour meeting to figure out the base idea that ends with me thinking that I know what they want.
- Meeting breaks up, I build a draft and send it over.
- They go "oh, sorry, we need it like this."
- I scratch my head, make my best bet as to what they need, and send another draft.
- Repeat steps 5-6 until we luck out and it works, or they give up, or I get reassigned.
- …Profit???
We get this:
- I get an email with some random CSV's and a request.
- I pull the data into a reasonable-ish table structure and schedule a meeting.
- We have a meeting where they tell me what they're looking for, and I put the analyses together on the fly and show them.
- During the half-hour meeting, we iterate rapidly through what they're looking for.
- They leave the meeting with a working report
- Profit!!!
If you're feeling lucky or tend to have people coming to you with data sources that are pretty clean, you can even skip steps 1 and 2 and do those during the meeting as well. Although in my experience, it's a roll of the dice if the data integrity is that good.
You know, this sounds similar to the basic premise of agile BI that gets talked about a lot here. Where we get rid of the old clunky BI systems and do things with the Power suite instead? Except now we're boiling that down even further, and instead of weeks, we're talking one meeting. So how does this work in practice? Let's talk through an example.
A manager sends me over an Excel sheet and is trying to figure out what percentage of the shipments in a given period were for different types of scenarios. But it's more complicated than that because some of the shipments need to be weighted more heavily than others, he needs to exclude a particular sub-type, and there's some bad data in the sheet that needs to get cleaned up. The problem is that this is going to need to be done pretty frequently going forward, the data we have access to can't be cleaned up at the source, and he doesn't want to do it manually each time.
Sounds like something we can do!
I pull in the data within five minutes of reading the email. I'm not going to go through it all, because everything in here is just button clicking in the Query Editor:
The only thing I had to do manually was to fix the automatic type assignment for our reference numbers (Power BI always wants them to be numbers rather than text, but that's a small price to pay for auto-detect).
I shoot out a meeting invite for later that day, and the manager accepts.
I continue with my day, and when it's time for the meeting, pull up a blank canvas and ask him to describe what he's looking for. He's trying to show a higher up manager while they've been assuming X% of the shipments are Type 2, that's changed since the last time this was looked at a few years ago. Not all shipments are equal, some of them have to go through a more labor-intensive process. He's gotten a tentative agreement that this takes three times as long as regular shipments.
Easy enough, let's get that shipment weighting figured out, two measures:
- [Shipments] =
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Data'[Shipment Reference] ) Simple distinct count on reference number, since we can potentially have shipments in the data set a few times.
- [Shipments with extra labor factored in] =
CALCULATE ( [Shipments], 'Data'[PROCESS_2_CHECK] <> BLANK () )
* 3
+ CALCULATE ( [Shipments], 'Data'[PROCESS_2_CHECK] = BLANK () )
Two CALCULATE's, one where we did the more labor-intensive process, so we multiply the count by 3, and then the regular count if we didn't do the more labor-intensive process. Yes, it would be cleaner to do this as two different measures and then add them together, but putting this together was what came to mind at the moment, and it worked.
Once I have those measures, I quickly slap two visuals together, one with the percentage, and one showing the comparison between the straight up and modified numbers for a reality check. We expect that almost all of the more labor-intensive shipments will be Type 1, and when we look:
That holds up! And the percentage is in line with where the manager had been thinking, so that's good too.
Note – Don't forget your "Show value as"! We're used to it in pivot tables, but Power BI can do it too!
Next thing: There's some data we need to exclude. Shipments that have a dedicated person working on them (and thus don't impact our allocation calculations). So, I add in two filter visuals:
The SubType filter gets rid of the shipments being handled by the dedicated person, and after a couple of minutes of discussion we decide that the bad data is too difficult to describe systematically (what's "bad" changes every month," so with the second filter he can uncheck boxes. This works much better than actual exclusion rules. Could we have figured something out? Probably, but it takes him less than a minute to filter manually, and it was going to take longer than we had to figure it out, so this was a good compromise.
We look at the final numbers, and he's really happy as they match up pretty well with his projections. He's delighted, the only thing he needs is to be able to export out the underlying data to do a reality check later. The problem is, these particular visuals don't allow that natively. In all honesty, I'm never sure what visuals under what circumstances let you expose the underlying data. But thankfully, I don't have to care!
What is this, you ask? It's a table. I put a Table visual out, added all the columns that they might need to see to it, shrunk it down, added a title called "Export Data," and showed him how he could click the three dots and export out his data. That's everything he needed, so now the report is done!
Twenty-two minutes into the meeting, we agreed that we were good to go and signed off. Counting the five minutes it took me to pull the data into Power BI in the first place, that leaves us at less than half an hour spent to get a working, usable report together. Is it pretty? Nope. Does it get the job done? Hell yes!
I've done a bunch of reports this way now, and my favorite reaction was when some managers asked me to do something, then moved on to another topic as they assumed I'd have it ready for the next meeting in a month. By the time they paused their discussion on the next point (less than five minutes later) I'd rejiggered the visuals and added in a new calculation they wanted. They all stopped for a minute, and the senior manager went "Wow. And that's why we have you in these meetings." Not too long afterward, he started including me in essential discussions as a matter of course, because he felt that more got done and that the meetings ended faster when I was in them.
When was the last time you heard someone say that about the guy who builds reports?
Where It's At: The Intersection of Biz, Human, and Tech*
We "give away" business-value-creating and escape-the-box-inspiring content like this article in part to show you that we're not your average "tools" consulting firm. We're sharp on the toolset for sure, but also on what makes businesses AND human beings "go."
In three days' time imagine what we can do for your bottom line. You should seriously consider finding out 🙂
* – unless, of course, you have two turntables and a microphone. We hear a lot of things are also located there.
Very cool example! Thanks for sharing this process.
Happy to! I'm just glad others find it helpful.
I love the idea of your Export Data table, can you expand a little on what exactly you did there?
Hello Amy, sure! It's really just a table where I added all the relevant columns/measures to it, added a Title called "Export Data", and shrank it down so only the title shows. It has some limitations, it only outputs up to a certain number of rows (1000, if I remember correctly), but for a lot of what I do people are filtering down to a specific scenario and then exporting and this works very nicely.
Way nice! A process I should incorporate as I am getting more and more clients to switch to PowerBI.
What about if you are an outside consultant???
How much would you charge them for a 5-15 min work???
I think of it like the old story about the plumber who takes five minutes looking at a problem to tighten one nut, fix the problem, and charge $100 dollars. The person says "That's ridiculous, tightening one nut shouldn't cost $100!"
The plumber says "Sure, tightening the nut is $1. The other $99 are for knowing which nut to tighten."
Great write up Matt! I'm still just stuck in Power Query/ Power Pivot and haven't made the jump to Bi yet. But I rarely come across blogs that pertain directly to what I'm actually working on.
Quick Question: Do you still use M now that PowerQuery (Get & Transform) is a lot more user friendly in Excel 2016?
Thanks Ritesh! And I do, yes, though not nearly as much these days. There are still some situations you just need to do with a little bit of M, though mostly it's light tweaking rather than full bore custom functions. I still use the custom function for a dynamic Calendar table that Ken Puls put together years ago, though.
Such a great overview of the power of the Power BI suite, without getting into the nitty gritty details. Love it. It's my favourite trick to build reports in the same meeting that I'm asked for them. That moment when everyone stops taking notes because they realise I'm building what they want faster than others can write down the requirements on paper.
I know!!! That's the best, and it really changes things when people can just work on the problem, instead of working on the analysis. So much more effective!
I am trying to ease my managers into using the Power BI suite. I'm still a novice but anything I do with their data is leaps and bounds beyond what they've seen to date. My goal is to minimize the time spend collecting the data and spitting out difficult to read charts and pivot tables (that are rarely ever looked at) and to increase the time our analysts have to actually analyze the data and affect changes earlier in the process. I know that Power BI can do that.
Absolutely JoAnn! It's the speed that makes the difference for me, I almost never need the really complicated analysis, I just need fast, easy, and easy to understand!
Thank for this post Matthew! Real-world situations are exactly the reason why I come to this blog to. It's the important stuff to me. Thanks for feeding the "important stuff machine" a little more.
I'm glad you liked it Tim! That's why I love this blog too, great to see other great minds thinking alike (grins).

It is Spring, y'all! How do I know? I went out last night without a coat on. The library had their front doors standing wide open. And it's been raining for days.
All I need is for Robb to tell me he's done for the season at the ski hill, and we're set. Heck, I even rode my bike the other day! I thought I was going to die, but I rode it.
In other news, I am letting my facial hair grow out. I'm keeping it clean, but I sort of like it, and I've had two compliments on it. Robb apparently likes the scruffy look more than he thought he would. Pictures will follow, eventually.
Has anyone ever read Maxwell Strangewell? I'm LOVING it.

Effective powerful love spell to get your Ex lover back urgently after breakup/divorce!.ReplyDelete
Hi everyone,
I'm so excited. My ex-boyfriend is back after a breakup, I'm extremely happy that will are living together again.
My boyfriend of a 4yr just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant. I have cried myself to sleep most of the nights and don't seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day's classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we've been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I'm still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn't have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it's not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy.
I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a spell for me. 17 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again...

The auction in Melbourne also includes the police report filed after last month's embarrassing incident as well as the former Formula 1 world champion's hotel valet parking ticket, complete with his car registration.
The winning bidder will also receive a signed framed photograph of Hamilton winning the 2009 Formula One World Driver's Championship.
Bidding for the 25 year-old's luxurious silver AMG C63 sports car, with just 343 miles (566km) on the clock, is currently sitting at more than $150,000 (£90,000).
It retails in Britain for almost £52,000.
The Melbourne-based Mercedes dealership conducting the auction said it expected winning amount to be even higher amid frenetic last minute bidding before Thursday's deadline.
Hamilton, who earns around £20 million a year, was last month stopped by police just yards from the Australian Grand Prix track and interviewed for more than 30 minutes over claims he had been recklessly driving.
His car was later impounded after officers caught him deliberately swerving his vehicle across the streets of southeast Melbourne, in what is dubbed "hoon driving" by Australian authorities.
The McLaren driver later issued a statement apologising for the "silly" incident and the "over-exuberant manner" while droving through the suburbs of St Kilda.
Tim Pallas, the local roads minister, later lashed out at Hamilton's behaviour, calling him a d------- when criticising his conduct.
Colin Uden, the Mercedes dealer principal behind online auction, described it as a "beautiful car".
"The car comes with the police report, which records the 'hooning' incident," Mr Uden said on Wednesday.
"There is also the valet parking ticket from the Hilton hotel with Lewis Hamilton's room number and the car's registration number on it.
"And there is an F1 personnel sticker on the windscreen."
Police said officers witnessed Hamilton "accelerating heavily" through the streets just on the outskirts of the Albert Park racing track but was not arrested or taken to a police station.
Witnesses reported he had generated clouds of smoke by spinning the wheels of his high-powered car and slewing the back wheels across the tarmac, manoeuvres known as a "burnout" and "fishtailing".
Despite the incident, Mr Uden said the car, and its tyres, were in immaculate condition.
"He just did a couple of burnouts," he said.
"He did not wreck the tyres. It was registered in January and it has only done 566km.
"It is a beautiful car."
The auction closes at 11am on Thursday Melbourne time.
Money raised will be donated to an Australian charity which supports young people with cancer.

The wind up train book is one of our most popular games.
This superb book contains a wind up train, three short stories and three pages with train tracks created on them. Just wind the train, slot it into the track and watch it move around the book. On the last map, there are even points that can be changed to alter the direction of the train. What is lovely about this book is that the illustrations are crisp and interesting – has the train passed the swimming pool yet? A great way of watching what is going on and finding new words together.
Very immediate – children understand what to do straight away and will want to play again and again.
- The train moves around the book
- They can choose the track they want to play with
- They can wind up the train themselves
- They can change the points to choose different routes
See the wind up train book in full glory in this great video:

Statement in Response to Concerned Women for America (October 10, 1997)
By John Bancroft, Director, The Kinsey Institute
Note: This statement is issued in response to a press release on October 2, 1997, by Concerned Women for America (CWA) announcing a Washington rally and call for a Congressional investigation into data on pre-adolescent males included in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948), by Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin. The CWA press release includes five questions regarding this data. The allegations in these questions have been refuted by the Institute's director in earlier responses to the Family Research Council and to Steve Stockman, then a Congressman, in 1995 and 1996. These responses are reiterated here in the form of answers to the questions listed in the CWA press release.
1. Did Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his associates rape and molest children and babies in the name of "science"?
No.2. Where did Kinsey's subjects - some of whom were babies - come from?
None of Dr. Kinsey's subjects was a baby. His research relied on interviewing volunteers. Information on sexual responses in babies and young children reported in the two volumes was based on the observations of adults interviewed by Kinsey and his colleagues. These were either parents, teachers who had simply observed children, or adults who had engaged in sexual activity with children.3. How did Kinsey get access to these children? Who, if anyone, gave consent?
Kinsey did not have access to these children.4. Where are the Children of Table 34 today? Did they suffer? Are they still suffering emotionally and/or physically from his human experiments?
The Children of Table 34 are children whose sexual responses had been documented by one man since 1917 and before Kinsey first met and interviewed him. This man subsequently made this documentation available to Kinsey. The identity and whereabouts of these children was never known to Kinsey or the Institute. Today, the youngest of these children would be well into their 50's, and many will have died.5. In the name of "science," are similar experiments of "adult-child contacts . . . chiefly manual and oral" still being practiced on children at the Kinsey Institute?
Experiments of adult-child contacts have never been practiced at the Kinsey Institute or anywhere else under the auspices of the Kinsey Institute.

Qualitative research provides richness, contextual understanding and great depth to any research question. Researchers tend to veer away from qualitative research as a method because it is a seemingly complicated research approach in data collection, analysis and interpretation. But it doesn't have to be.
Qualitative research is important because it seeks to describe, understand and explain human behaviour. Qualitative research can be used to answer many research questions or paired with quantitative methods. When paired with quantitative research, it is especially powerful for understanding complex socio-political concepts such as power, gender or race in a more nuanced way. Qualitative research can be used to understand the research setting, improve design and tools, as well for triangulation: better understanding, insight and interpretation of research findings. Including qualitative component in research studies is of significant essence.
Therefore researchers, including quantitative researchers, should become skilled at qualitative methods. The course objectives include helping participants achieve the overall understanding of qualitative research methodology, when to use qualitative research, key data-gathering methods in qualitative research, drafting of data tools, ensuring data quality in qualitative research, data synthesis and analysis.

Iron Man 3
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Iron Man 3 (stylised onscreen as Iron Man Three) is a 2013 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, produced by Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to Iron Man and Iron Man 2, and the seventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Tony Stark / Iron Man[edit]
- [Opening lines] A famous man once said, "We create our own demons." Who said that? What does that even mean? Doesn't matter. I said it 'cause he said it. So now, he was famous, and that basically getting said by two well-known guys... I don't... uhh... I'm gonna start again. Let's track this from the beginning.
- [As he's trying out that badass new armor] JARVIS! Drop my needle!
- The suits. They're a part of me.
- [Last lines] And so, as Christmas morning began, my journey had reached its end. You start with something pure. Something exciting. Then come the mistakes, the compromises. We create our own demons. As promised, I got Pepper sorted out. It took some tinkering. But then I thought to myself, "Why stop there?" Of course there are people who say progress is dangerous, but I'll bet none of those idiots ever had to live with a chest full of shrapnel. And now, neither will I. Let me tell you: that was the best sleep I'd had in years. So if I were to wrap this up, tie it with a bow, or whatever, I guess I'd say my armour, it was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon. And now, I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can't take away... I am Iron Man.
Pepper Potts[edit]
- Oh, my God. That was really violent.
Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes / Iron Patriot[edit]
- If you want this suit, you're gonna have to pry my cold, dead body out of it.
- Tony, I swear, I'm gonna blow his face off!
Aldrich Killian / The Mandarin[edit]
- You know who I am. You don't know where I am. And you'll never see me coming.
- [Last words] No more false faces. You said you wanted the Mandarin, you're looking right at him. It was always me, Tony, right from the start. I am the Mandarin!
Maya Hansen[edit]
- Look, if you want a launch product next year, I need Stark, He just lacked a decent incentive, Now, he has one.
- [Last words] What about you? What happens if you get too hot?
Ellen Brandt[edit]
- That's all you got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?
Eric Savin[edit]
- What are you doin', buddy? You out by yourself? A little date night? Watching your favorite chick flick maybe?
- He's not here. Try the jet stream, speaking of which, go fish.
Happy Hogan[edit]
- Let me tell you something. Do you know what happened when I told people I was Iron Man's bodyguard? They would laugh in my face. I had to leave while I still had a shred of dignity.
Trevor Slattery[edit]
- Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. America, ready for another lesson? In 1864, in Sand Creek, Colorado, the US military waited until the friendly Cheyenne braves had all gone hunting, waited to attack and slaughter the families left behind and claim their land. 39 hours ago, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait was attacked. I...I...I did that. A quaint military church filled with wives and children, of course. The soldiers were out on manoeuvres. The braves were away. President Ellis, you continue to resist my attempts to educate you, sir. And now, you've missed me again. You know who I am, you don't know where I am, and you'll never see me coming. [A gunshot is fired at a poster of President Ellis]
- True story about fortune cookies. They look Chinese, they sound Chinese. But they're actually an American invention, which is why they're hollow, full of lies, and leave a bad taste in the mouth. My disciples just destroyed another cheap American knockoff, the Chinese Theatre. Mr. President, I know this must be getting frustrating. But this season of terror is drawing to a close. And don't worry, the big one is coming: Your graduation.
- Mr. President, only two lessons remain. And I intend to finish this before Christmas morning. Meet Thomas Richards. Good strong name, good strong job. Thomas here is an accountant for the Roxxon Oil Corporation. But I'm sure he's a really good guy. I'm going to shoot him in the head, live on your television, in 30 seconds. The number for this telephone is in your cell phone. Exciting, isn't it, imagining how it got there? America, if your president calls me in the next half-minute, Tom lives. Go. [President Ellis eventually makes the decision to call the Mandarin; upon hearing the phone ring, however, the Mandarin shoots Tom anyway] There's just one lesson left, President Ellis. So run away, hide, kiss your children goodbye, because nothing, not your army, not your red, white and blue attack dog, can save you! I'll see you soon.
- Hi, I'm Trevor, Trevor Slattery...
- Sir, I have an update from Malibu. The cranes have finally arrived and the cellar doors are being cleared as we speak.
President Matthew Ellis[edit]
- Central to my administration's response to this terrorist event is a newly minted resource. I know him as Colonel James Rhodes. The American people will soon know him as the Iron Patriot.
Vice President Rodriguez[edit]
- Mr. Stark, I'm about to eat honey-roast ham, surrounded by the Agency's finest. The president's safe on Air Force One with Colonel Rhodes. I think we're good here.
Harley Keener[edit]
- My mom already left for diner and Dad went to 7-11 to get scratchers. I guess he won because that was six years ago.
- Tony: Where are your parents?
- Harley: Well, my mom's at work, and my dad went out to get scratchers... I-I guess he won, because that was six years ago.
- Tony: Which happens. Dads leave. No need to be a pussy about it.
- Harley: You're a mechanic, right?
- Tony: Right.
- Harley: You said so.
- Tony: Yes, I did.
- Harley Why don't you just build something?
- Savin: Hey, kid! What would you like for Christmas?
- Harley: Mr. Stark, I am so sorry.
- Savin: Nope. I think he was trying to say, "I want my goddamn file."
- Tony: You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you.
- Brandt: That's all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?
- Tony: Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography!
- [Blows her up with an improvised bomb]
- Hansen: [Prepares syringe for Extremis] Let him go! What's going to happen to your men, what's going to happen to you?
- Killian: [Kills Maya; to Stark] Well, the good news is, a high-level position has just been vacated.
- Rhodey: [Sees Trevor] This is the Mandarin?
- Tony: I know, right? It's embarrassing!
- Rhodey: We couldn't save the President with the suit, how are we going to save Pepper with nothing?
- Tony: Uh…say, Jarvis? Is it that time?
- JARVIS: . . . . The House Party Protocol, sir?
- Tony: Correct. [JARVIS activates the suits]
- [Post-credits scene: Tony is telling his story with his eyes closed to Bruce Banner, who has fallen asleep]
- Tony: You know, and thank you, by the way, for listening. But something about just getting it off my chest and putting it out there in the atmosphere instead of holding this in. I mean, this is what gets people sick, you know. Wow. I had no idea you were such a good listener. To be able to share all my intimate thoughts, my experiences with someone, it just cuts the weight of it in half, you know. It's like a snake swallowing its own tail. Everything comes full circle. [Bruce drops the glasses he was holding and wakes up.] And - and the fact that you've been able to help me process... [Tony opens his eyes and looks at Bruce.]
- Bruce: So?
- Tony: You with me?
- Bruce: I was, yeah. Where – we were at, uh –
- Tony: Actively napping?
- Bruce: I – I was – I – I – I drifted.
- Tony: Where did I lose you?
- Bruce: Elevator in Switzerland.
- Tony: So you heard none of it?
- Bruce: I'm sorry. I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not a therapist. It's not my training.
- Tony: So?
- Bruce: I – I don't have the –
- Tony: What? The time?
- Bruce: Temperament.
- Tony: You know what? Now that I think about it, oh, God, my original wound, 1983, you all right?
- [A tired Bruce nods.]
- Bruce: Yes.
- Tony: I'm 13 years old, and I still have a nanny? That was weird.

Apple Blocks Downgrade Method in iOS 5
Apple and the jailbreak community are always playing cat and mouse. Apple in one hand is 'forbidden' jailbreak, but jailbreaker still could find a way to break into security systems that have been built by Apple. But not this time. Apple finally block of a function that's often used by jailbreaker to downgrade from one version of the iOS to the lower version.
Therefore, Apple has implemented a system that would only give permission to certain iOS build to be able to be installed. This resulted in the downgrade that almost can't be done. Previously, jailbreaker used to use SHSH blobs in iTunes to downgrade the iOS.
As reported by Dev-Team, a jailbreak community, changes in the iOS 5 show a different sign-in process. The new process will look more like BBTicket (Baseband Ticket), which make it harder to downgrade.
But that's not entirely bad news. Restore the firmware to the pre-iOS 5 version is still possible although it seems to used the old version of iTunes. The reason why Apple decided to change the process, the Dev-Team explained that it's actually just a matter of time until Apple makes changes to it through the iOS delta updates.
While iPhone 5 Towards Production, Apple TV Is Still Designed
The latest reports suggest that Apple's business partners are in preparation to begin in production of iPhone 5. The production season is planned to be started in the mid-late August 2011.
With that news, the analysts estimate that iPhone 5 will be released as soon as possible after mid-September. An observer from Morgan Stanley firm, Katy Huberty believes that the Apple will start to produce the new gen of iPhone in the end of August.
Huberty also added that Apple is currently working on a television product. It also said that Apple is still at the early design stages of the television product. This becomes important as it will provide a new way for Apple to boost its annual revenue.
Observer who has just attended a series of meetings in Taiwan was also write that Apple will likely release a cheaper version of the iPhone. It's believed that Apple will expand the market which dominated the upscale consumer so far.
