"To modernize Europe's infrastructure, both traditional and online, it needs at least a trillion Euro."
Big tasks for Europe
- In an article in the Swiss paper Finanz & Wirtschaft, our founder Roland Berger says a powerful high-tech sector is what Europe needs in the face of competition.
Non-European enterprises today dominate more and more industries
The advance of modern information and communication technology (ICT) is unstoppable – even in the manufacturing sector. Smart, networked manufacturing systems are fundamentally changing the way companies produce: Industry 4.0 is the fourth great industrial revolution after the steam engine, mass production and automation.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Labor Economics and Organization expects there to be 50 billion networked appliances by the year 2020. Machines will communicate with each other and their users, digitally and in real time. Factory processes will become visible and controllable in virtual space. ICT will dominate future business models.
The development toward Industry 4.0 is a huge opportunity: a powerful high-tech sector can become an engine of innovation that Europe is in desperate need of in the face of global competition. After all, with the exception of SAP, Europe has almost no more ICT companies worthy of mention.
From Internet companies like Google and Facebook, to PC and smart phone manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung, from software houses the likes of Microsoft and Oracle to network operators like AT&T and China Mobile: non-European enterprises today dominate this field, especially the USA and Asia, with China, Japan and South Korea. Only eight of the world's top 100 high-tech companies have their head office in Europe, and Microsoft's takeover of Nokia spelled the end of the Continent's last maker of mobile phones.
But ICT is only one side of the Industry 4.0 coin.
The other is its use in the industrial sector and the utilization of the benefits that it brings to the value chain. Here, Europe has the best prerequisites, because industry still plays a central role in Europe's economy: its share of the EU's economic performance is 15%, in Germany around 24% and in the USA only around 12%.
With this pronounced competence in industry – and to some degree also in industrial information technology – we can attract new ICT companies and use our "traditional" manufacturing technology as the launching pad to become the innovation leader in Industry 4.0.
This is an opportunity we have to make the most of, because the networking and digitization of industry and economy will change the balance of power in the world. The pattern is known to us from the third industrial revolution. When electronics and computers made their way into industry and further increased the level of automation, the (production and cost) factor labor lost significance.
As a result, for example Germany benefited as a whole as an industrial venue in global competition, even though jobs were lost in some industries: new ones were created in others. The fourth industrial revolution will be even more comprehensive, encompass more industries and be more complex. Industry 4.0 is all about innovatively joining together big data, plant-specific software and the "hardware" of manufacturing technology.
Already today, every production plant continually generates data. Using these data efficiently provides a considerable competitive advantage. For example, a big-data based diagnosis tool can precisely monitor machines and give early warning when damage occurs to them or servicing is required. This reduces downtimes, enables more accurate planning and thus reduces unit costs.
Another example: If process data are prepared intelligently, parts of the production process that consume too much electricity can be identified and eliminated. Applications of this kind can give companies a cost benefit of up to 80%.
Taken to its logical conclusion, Industry 4.0 creates the vision of an entirely networked production landscape, in which orders manage themselves throughout entire value chains, book processing machines and material and organize their delivery to the customer.
Why it needs a true, pan-European domestic market for infrastructure services
If Europe wants to get a good start in this future market, it has to lay the foundations now, and become active first and foremost on three fronts: in infrastructure, in education, research and development, and in the support and financing of startups.
Firstly let us consider infrastructure. Slow Internet connections are a locational disadvantage, just as are poor roads or a poor electricity supply. In Switzerland, 91% of all Internet connections use fast broadband technology. In South Korea this figure is 94%. In contrast, Germany, France and Italy come in with just 75, 69 and 57% respectively. The latter is almost half of South Korea.
In order to modernize and develop the European infrastructure, both the traditional and the Internet access, we have to invest at least a trillion euros. That money could come from the around 170 trillion euros of private capital for which investors are searching for investment opportunities around the globe.
To achieve this we need framework conditions that are reliable and free of ideology, and that facilitate private investments in infrastructure. In addition, we also have to create a true, pan-European domestic market for infrastructure services, because as of today, this market is severely fragmented compared to the USA (for example, we have 55 mobile telephone networks. In the US there are just five!). A single domestic market would promote the consolidation, cut costs and significantly increase the attractiveness for investors.
Secondly, education and R&D: Europe cannot compete with other regions when it comes to costs of labor, especially not with Asia. So it has to further increase its head start in know-how intensive industries. Europe still invests only 1.9% of its GDP in R&D – around one percentage point less than the USA and 1.6 less than Japan. These budgets have to be increased, both in the private economy and in the public sector, and investments in research and development have to be fostered by means of tax benefits.
We also need more university graduates in the MINT subjects (mathematics, informatics, natural sciences and technology): In Europe, only 17% of tertiary students study in these subjects, whereas in South Korea it is 29% and in China and Taiwan even 31% – a share almost twice as high as in Europe.
The success of the ICT industry in these countries attracts young people to it, while in Europe, technology is often considered to be boring or even dangerous. That image has to be improved.
Europe is becoming less and less attractive for entrepreneurs
We also need more startups in Europe, in order to establish new ideas, companies and business models. A glance at the age of the most innovative companies shows: in the USA, 22% of them were founded after 1965, and only 56% before 1925. In Europe, 2% were founded post-1975 and 86% pre-1925!
The financing possibilities for startups have to be improved, for example by providing tax benefits for venture capital: In the USA, around 20 billion dollars are invested here per annum. In Europe the figure is a mere four billion dollars. So it comes as no surprise that Silicon Valley attracts innovative company founders, while Europe is becoming less and less attractive for such entrepreneurs.
Speaking of Silicon Valley: Europe needs more clusters where startups and established companies can network, collaborate and together build up Europe-wide value chains. Here too we can learn a lot from America! Furthermore, the image of companies and company founders has to be worked on. In Europe the fear of failing is widespread, which is why far fewer people here start a company.
And that although startups are per se innovation drivers! So we have to support the willingness to take risks, do away with the taboo of failing and establish successful entrepreneurs as role models.
This three-pillar program has to have a long-term scope. The political, economic and scientific sectors, trade unions and investors have to work together. Then Europe has the best prospects of making good use of the innovation motor that is Industry 4.0.

Amasty GDPR Magento 2 Extension
On May 25, 2018, the GDPR regulations came into force, implying new requirements on personal data collection and management that ecommerce businesses have to follow. With the Amasty GDPR extension for Magento 2, merchants will get all necessary tools to make their web stores compliant with the GDPR legislation and collect and process customers' data most transparently and efficiently.
Let's see in detail what functionality the Magento 2 module provides.
- Adaptable privacy policy
With the GDPR Magento 2 module, you can create multiple privacy policies depending on the area where you operate your ecommerce business. In this way, you can be sure that your data privacy policy complies with the local legal requirements. Also, privacy policies can be changed according to the modifications in the GDPR regulations. Using the extension's functionality, you can create as many policy versions and texts as you need and update them when required.
- Customer consents management
The Amasty GDPR module adds a dedicated checkbox to registration and checkout pages of your website so that both new customers and guest visitors can give their consent to the data privacy policy. Besides, you can create mailing lists and use them to send privacy policy consent requests or policy updates to your customers in bulk.
- Configurable popups for collecting user consents
The module provides store owners with a beautiful popup window that can be used to ask visitors for data processing consents in a subtle way without too much disturbing. Later, customer consents can be used for Google and Facebook remarketing, marketing automation, A/B testing, and more.
- Consents grids
In the backend, Magento admins can manage customers with and without privacy policy consent via two separate grids, as well as send email requests and export customers lists.
- Delete requests management
The GDPR module by Amasty also provides a grid for managing delete requests, as it is the customers' right granted by the GDPR regulations. Admins decide whether to approve such requests or refuse them.
- Extended customer account area
Customers get new options in their accounts enabling them to download (via CSV file), anonymize (irreversible action), and request to delete personal details.
Table of contents
First, let's go to the page where you can manage your privacy policy documents. The Privacy Policy grid is located under Customers → GDPR → Privacy Policy.
The grid consists of the following columns:
- Date Created;
- Version Number;
- Last Edited;
- Last Edited By;
- Comment;
- Status (Disabled, Enabled);
- Action (Edit).
It is possible to apply filters and sorting to the grid, as well as to delete documents in bulk. By selecting Edit in the Action column, you can modify an existing privacy policy.
You can also create a new privacy document here by clicking the Add New Policy button. On the New Privacy Policy screen, you should specify the title of the document in the Comment field and the policy version, enable/disable the policy, and create the content for the document in the Policy WYSIWYG editor.
As for the management of customer consents, the Amasty GDPR extension provides admin users with two separate grids. First, let's see how the Customers With Consent grid looks. The grid gathers the data on the customers who accepted the privacy policy and shows a customer's name, email, the date of giving consent, and the version of the policy document he or she agreed. You can use Email Consequent Request action to send requests for accepting the new policy version to selected customers.
To see which customers didn't accept your privacy policy, navigate to Customers → GDPR → Customers Without Consent. In the grid, you can view customers' names, emails, and country. If you select Email Consent Request in the Actions drop-down, the module will send requests to agree to the privacy policy to selected customers.
There is also the Customers Consents Email Queue grid where admins can check statuses of sent emails.
As for the mentioned before delete requests management, the appropriate grid shows the date when a request was submitted, customer name and email, and quantity of completed and pending orders. As for the Actions menu, here you can decide whether you want to approve or deny an account removal request.
One more grid provided by the Amasty GDPR Magento 2 extension is related to actions logging. The Action Log grid includes all activity of your website visitors connected to privacy policy consents and GDPR part in their accounts.
As for the main settings, the GDPR Magento 2 module's configuration is divided into two sections: Geo Ip Data and GDPR. In Geo Ip Data, you can download and import Geo IP database, so that the location of your store users will be identified.
The GDPR section is divided into four tabs: Anonymisation Notifications, Account Deletion Notifications, Consent Request Notifications, and Privacy Checkbox.
In the first three tabs, you should select an email sender and email template for three types of notifications separately.
In Privacy Checkbox, you can enable display of the privacy policy consent checkbox only for EU countries, specify the text shown next to the consent checkbox, and decide whether to add the checkbox to registration and checkout pages.
Now, let's see how the GDPR extension communicates with the frontend users of your web store.
As we have already described, you can add a checkbox to let customers give consent to the privacy policy on the registration and checkout pages.
Below, you can see how the checkbox looks on the registration page:
If a customer doesn't want to fill in the registration form, they can also accept privacy policy on the checkout page:
By clicking "privacy policy" link next to the checkbox, a user will open the privacy policy document in a new window.
After installing the GDPR module, customer account area gets a new section – Privacy Settings. Here users can download their personal details in a CSV file, anonymize their personal data, and send requests to delete their accounts.
Anonymization of personal data changes how it looks in the account information by substituting customer's contact and address details with the random sequence of symbols.
Recent Updates
Magento 2 GDPR 1.2.1
- Possibility to edit the list of EU countries in the admin panel was implemented.
- New option: the cookie policy bar can be placed at the top of the screen.
- Possibility to switch on/off anonymization, deletion, and download actions of personal data for customers was added.
- Now it is possible to place Privacy Policy confirmation checkboxes on the "Contact Us" and "Newsletter Subscription" forms.
- New feature: personal data of an order made by a guest can be anonymized now.
Magento 2 GDPR 1.1.7
- Now it is possible to adjust the style of the cookie policy bar.
- The cookie policy bar can be managed in the backend now.
- New option: possibility to disallow optional cookies.
Final Words
The Amasty's new module for GDPR compliance brings merchants a comprehensive toolset to follow the latest EU legislation requirements. With the module's features, you are enabled to collect, process and store customers' personal data most properly and effectively. The price of the Magento 2 extension is $199 with free lifetime updates and 90 days of free support included.

Stone Crushers
Mobile Crusher Plant
Mobile Crusher Plant is a removable solution for rock crushing, It can be applied to the following fields:Concrete debris from demolished buildings, etc.Asphalt debris from road repairing workNatural rocks from civil engineering workThere are many types of mobile crushing plants.
Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher
The vertical shaft impact crusher is specially designed to make perfect Manufactured Sand. It was born to solve two problems. The first problem is that natural sand is forbidden to be mined in many areas. The second problem is that the artificial sand grains produced by traditional crushing equipment are too bad.
Jaw Crusher
Jaw Crusher is a ancient and common types of crusher, mainly used as a primary or secondary crusher in a crushing plant. In now days, jaw crusher is still play a important role for aggreate processing. The flowing picture is a aggreate crushing plant which used our 500 Ton/h PE Jaw Crusher.
Impact Crusher
Horizontal Impact Crusher, generally used as secondary crusher in a crushing cricuting, someone called it impactors, which have one horizontal shaft inside the machine, use the impact energy to break the stone.
Tower Sand Manufacturing Plant
In concrete or dry mortar, we know that sand is essential. Although natural river sand is the best material, but it is forbidden to be mined. So we need a solution that can efficiently produce artificial sand. In general, we can divide the sand production plant into horizontal and tower type.
Cone Crusher
Like the jaw crusher, the cone crusher also has a long history. The difference is that the cone crusher uses an extrusion method to break the ore. Because of the working characteristics of the cone crusher, the shape of the stone producted by cone crusher does not meet the requirements of High-grade aggreagte

If you want to know how to earn easy money you have reached the right place. In this guide we will give you several tricks that can help you get extra cash, whether to pay a debt, to buy a motorcycle, to pay for medical treatment or to go on vacation.
If you do not reach the end of the month because expenses are increasingly high and income is maintained or reduced, then you should look for other alternatives to get money. It is easier than you think. Pay attention to these tricks on how to earn easy money:
1. Sell things you don't use
Take advantage of the weekend to do a good cleaning at home and put on sale everything that you do not use or that you no longer have left. You will surely find clothes, shoes, records, books and dozens of objects that other people can serve. Then you can either sell them online, offer them to your acquaintances or even organize a famous garage sale. You can also sell things in local stores, such as bookstores, record stores or videogames. You can even sell to students at the university where you studied those books or material that you have used.
2. Sign up for paid surveys
It is a very easy way to earn money, because you do not need to have any special knowledge. They do not pay too much, but the idea is that in your spare time you can complete many and thus earn some additional money. There are several websites specialized in surveys.
3. Perform household chores
On the internet there are also places where you can sign up to do some housework and earn some money. For example you can drive a car like Uber, make purchases for people with some physical impossibility, take care of houses or pets, offer tutoring services, mow the lawn, wash cars, do paperwork at banks or municipal offices, etc.
4. Rent a room in your home
If you have a large house and you have a room left over or the basement is in good condition and habitable, you can rent it to students, youth or tourists. Publish on official websites and known as Airbnb or Homeaway. No doubt an extra income every month is not bad at all!
5. Be freelancer
It is one of the ways of how to make easy money better known in recent times. It's basically about being an independent worker through the web. You will not always get a high remuneration, but the good thing is that it can be an additional income more than interesting. Take advantage of the free hours of the weekend or when you finish your "official" workday. There are works of writing, translation, editing, information search, etc.
6. Sell your photographs
You don't have to be a professional photographer to make and sell the images. Stock photos are simple, general and undefined images that people or companies can use in their articles, presentations, brochures, magazines, etc. They do not have a very high value, so it is recommended to sell them in thematic 'packages' or that can be used for several different projects. Try also offering them on specialized websites.
7. Be a virtual assistant
More and more people are looking for temporary jobs that do not require to appear in any particular place. Many companies are interested in this type of employees because they are paid less and reduce expenses by not having to install them in an office or premises. The tasks of a virtual assistant range from completing forms to keeping an agenda, including searching for specific information (for example flights, hotels, houses to buy, etc.) to edit videos or assemble presentations. You will have a boss who will indicate the tasks by email or video conference and no matter how many hours you work, the important thing is that you fulfill what you are asked.
These ideas of how to earn easy money are more than interesting, but many times we cannot wait until we find a job or generate certain amounts. In those cases, the best alternative is to apply for a loan online. Just as Good Finance or Fast Credits loans can be somewhat complicated to obtain, on our site you will find many options in a matter of minutes. You just have to complete the form and wait for confirmation.

A new luxury hotel set among six Georgian townhouses in London is to open in 2020.
The new property, which will be operated by Bespoke Hotels, will form part of the £500m One Crown Place mixed-use development in EC2 spearheaded by Malaysian conglomerate AlloyMtd.
It's thought that £10m has been spent on restoring the five-storey terrace that dates back to the early 1800s and was originally designed by architect George Dance the Younger, into the new boutique.
Once completed in approximately two years' time, the hotel will be home to 41 bedrooms, with a price point starting at £295 per night, plus a 100-cover restaurant and bar alongside a private members club.
Its design is being headed up by Bowler James Brindley, an interiors business behind a raft of high-end global hotels and restaurants including Asia De Cuba in Abu Dhabi.
Each of the six townhouses has a unique personality and the ground floor communal areas are interlinked by a series of rooms, including a public-facing deli, social café, art gallery in the lobby with a reception parlour for a relaxed check-in, a club lounge with a bar and an adjoining library room.
"We are delighted to have been appointed to oversee the operation of the hotel at One Crown Place," commented Haydn Fentum, chief executive of Bespoke Hotels.
"The development will be a stunning landmark for London, further galvanising an area that has developed remarkably in recent years, with the hotel a key ingredient within this."
The hotel, the name of which will be unveiled later this year, will sit alongside One Crown Place's terracotta-clad residential towers containing 246 apartments and 140,000 sq ft of office space.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Automatic Hand Dryer Tips and other Public Restrooms topics.
When starting a new business, you need to keep a close eye on your expenses. In particular, you need to keep your eye on the horizon. If you are opening a convenience store, gas station, or restaurant, your supplies for your restrooms can become more expensive than they need to be over time. Although the start-up cost may be more, you can save a bundle in the long run by passing on the towels in favor of an automatic hand dryer. Waste in business can only be controlled to a point. With sanitary items such as paper towels, people can be extra wasteful. However, you don't need to worry yourself with the people who use 10 sheets just to dry their hands anymore. A single automatic dryer can pay for itself in only a few months as compared to what the expense would be to keep re-stocking those paper towel dispensers (automatic dryer tips the scale with that alone). Like I mentioned above, they are definitely more expensive to purchase, but without the waste you faced before, you will see the savings in no time.

Project Description
Premier Media Group is a publisher of hyperlocal news, operating two media properties, "Menifee 24/7" and "Murrieta 24/7". The company hired Too Much Tina to develop redesigned websites for these properties.
Their previous website looked more like a blog than a news publication. Because Premier was positioning itself as competition to local print newspapers, they needed to update the appearance of their websites to reflect a more journalistic feel.
Also, because the company has so many people reading their media properties on mobile devices, they needed a design that allowed them to display their advertisers on smartphones and tablets as prominently as on laptop and PC.
Premier had previously published these websites on Blogger, and inquired about moving to WordPress instead. We offered them a comparison that outlined the pros and cons of each platform. Ultimately, they opted to stay with Blogger, preferring to take advantage of its zero-cost, unlimited bandwidth, built-in spam filtering, and secure servers.
We were able to implement a new Blogger template for them, one that looked like a news publication rather than blog, and develop a new system of categories.

Viewing your medical records can assist physicians greater coordinate care, specialists say. The HITECH Act has cash behind it. Physicians and hospitals will be rewarded with from $40,000 to $50,000 to offset the infrastructure and conversion fees incurred in moving to electronic health-related platforms. Adolescents also have rights to obtain overall health care independently under legal principles such as mature minor and emancipated minor rulings.
Alongside these committed networks, platforms such as Twitter and Facebook that dominate the social network market in the United Kingdom have also turn out to be key locations for disseminating and discussing well being and care info and very best practice – as Daniel Ghinn of Creative Well being told our Digital Wellness and Care Congress in 2015. Coupled with ongoing therapy from numerous doctors for diabetes, her health-related records are scattered in numerous filing cabinets and laptop systems around town.
Brecksville, Ohio-based MedData—which offers technology-enabled healthcare services like revenue cycle management and analytics—has acquired Duet Health of Columbus, Ohio. Smaller wellness care organizations cannot afford to make errors and supply inefficient care. Most health records contain a doctor's verbal description of a patient's condition that can't be narrowed down to the predefined categories of the point and click system offered by means of a lot of electronic health records. Electronic healthcare records and electronic health records are not the exact same issue.
One more downside of the meaningful use program, says Basch, who advises the American College of Physicians on wellness IT, is that vendors have had to concentrate on rewriting their application to meet the changing EHR certification criteria. Limiting parental access to data about particular private troubles such as sexuality, substance abuse, and mental health concerns enables the adolescent patient to be far more comfortable talking with her well being care provider about these troubles.
For example, EMR vendors have customized systems for outpatient care, inpatient care, solo practices, enterprise groups, major care, therapy, mental wellness , ophthalmology , nephrology , chiropractic and so on. As currently noted, by virtue of obtaining electronic health records at this stage in their diffusion, the respondents with these systems are probably various from respondents with no them.

Just what is a "Workspace"?
"Workspaces" are taking over all aspects of end user computing. Now... what is a workspace?
This article was originally published on July 24, 2017.
It's crazy just how much the term "workspace" has taken over in end user computing, even in the two years since I wrote the first version of this article. For example, by now most people in end user computing have heard of VMware Workspace ONE. And everybody in the desktop virtualization space has heard that Citrix has rebranded a lot of their products to Citrix Workspace, and they know Amazon AWS Workspaces. And recently, we heard about Dell Technologies Unified Workspace.
Right now, there are a lot of different ideas about what exactly a workspace is. This article is my take on the term, plus, it's a convenient place to link when someone asks you, "Hey, just what is a workspace?"
Even more workspaces
Here are the categories of products and ideas that I've come across that use the term "workspace." I'm sure you can add to this list:
- Big suites and bundles comprising endpoint management, virtual desktops, app management, and identity management
- Enterprise file sync and share
- User environment management for Windows
- The enterprise-managed apps on a BYOD or COPE-enabled mobile device
- Virtual desktops, and especially DaaS
- App launching portals and app catalogs
- Identity management
That's a wide range of products and concepts!
Side note: I used to think that Brian, the founder of this site (and my brother) was too cantankerous and jaded—the prime example this article he wrote a few years back: "Vendor marketing slogans are ridiculous." But now after writing more than a thousand articles, combined with all the conversations about the definition of "workspace," I get it!
What is a workspace?
To me, a workspace isn't hugely complicated. A workspace is really just all the components of end user computing today—that is, Windows and Mac desktops and laptops, "modern management," phones and tablets, mobile apps, web and SaaS apps, desktop apps, virtual apps, virtual desktops, identity management, security, conditional access, and so on—delivered in a coherent way.
For years, we've been talking about how end user computing is moving beyond just the Windows desktop. "Workspace" is simply how you do EUC in this new world.
Yes, it can involve a lot of new technologies, like enterprise mobility management, identity management, unified endpoint management, and lots of cloud apps and services.
But you don't have to do everything at once. Really, you can get started just by thinking about your end user computing experience in a holistic way and being aware of all the different things that users do and need.
There are some good places go next, though. If you have SaaS and cloud apps that aren't hooked up to an identity management and federation system, they probably should be. All those random SaaS apps that IT doesn't even know about can be formalized, giving the users a better single sign on experience, and avoiding the security risks of poorly managed passwords in unmanaged apps.
And while there a lot of companies out there that still do mobility in an ad hoc way, really every company is a mobile company these days. (Don't believe me? See how much work grinds to a halt if you replace everybody's smartphone with a flip phone.) Everybody should be testing iOS and Android betas, and considering the value you could get out of at least doing some basic mobile device management.
Another great emerging trend is contextual access, also known as zero trust or conditional access. This is the idea that instead of granting access based on username, password, the user group, and maybe IP address, you're evaluating more factors. For example, policies ask: Is the device healthy? Is it a corporate device? How has the user authenticated? Is the user exhibiting normal behavior? How sensitive is the app? And so on.
Yes, it's a complete rethinking of trust, and there are a lot of different places you can go with it, but it's not actually that hard to get started. Maybe your identity and access management system checks to see if devices are enrolled in MDM before allowing them access to SaaS apps. Or, you use some sort of agent so that your IDaaS can see if the device is healthy.
Final thoughts
The bottom line is that now and in the future, the end user is no longer just confined to a Windows desktop. Instead, it's everywhere—on mobile devices, on SaaS apps, on Macs and Chromebooks, and who knows what else is coming down the line.
A "workspace" is the idea that we'll be able to enable users to work in this new world, in a secure way.

| 8°C Dublin
CHINA cut its annual growth target for the first time in eight years yesterday, recognising that its double-digit growth rates are past and the world's second largest economy will slow as it matures.
At the annual opening ceremony of the parliament, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao said the government's target for economic growth in 2012 was 7.5pc, the first time it has dropped below 8pc since 2004.
The growth estimate, was in line with analyst expectations and lower than the longstanding annual goal of 8pc, reflecting the government's focus on delivering economic stability ahead of a leadership transitition later in the year.
While China's acceptance of a slower rate of growth rattled markets yesterday, it also shows that the gradual rebalancing of the global economy long sought by world leaders is on track.
Oil, copper and equities all fell; however. the cost of insuring China's debt against default slid toward a six-month low as Wen cut the budget deficit and accepted slower economic growth as the price of avoiding asset bubbles.
The 2012 deficit will be the smallest in four years, equal to 1.5pc of gross domestic product, the Finance Ministry forecast yesterday.
"We aim to promote steady and robust economic development, keep prices stable, and guard against financial risks by keeping the total money and credit supply at an appropriate level, and taking a cautious and flexible approach," Wen said in his annual work report to the National People's Congress (NPC).
Wen set a target for inflation at about 4pc for the year, in line with the target set in 2011.

Warning: 'Greater Exposure' To Fox News Will Lead To 'Increased Misinformation' On Policy Issues
Last week, World Public Opinion (WPO) released a poll exploring political information in a post-Citizens United national election and found that 90 percent of voters "said that in the 2010 election they encountered information they believed was misleading or false, with 56% saying this occurred frequently." More troubling, the poll also found "strong evidence that voters were substantially misinformed on many of the key issues of the campaign." WPO said that voter misinformation contained beliefs about current issues such as TARP, the Recovery Act, health care reform, the economy, and climate change that were "at odds with the conclusions of government agencies, generally regarded as non-partisan, consisting of professional economists and scientists."

Fox's War On Unions Rages On
Fox & Friends hosted Gov. Tim Pawlenty in a segment attacking public employee unions by using misleading data on public sector compensation and by blaming unions for states like California's budget problems. In fact, experts have attributed California's budget shortfalls to the state tax system and the economic downturn, and the claim that public sector employees make twice that of private sector employees is based on a discredited apples-to-oranges comparison.

A high-up Fox News editor told his employees to substitute the phrase "public option" with "government option" in order to skew the public's notion of the health care debate to the right. And while Fox's ultra-conservative slant is nothing new, this revelation pokes truth-sized holes in their persistent argument that they are "fair and balanced." The evidence: a leaked email from Fox managing editor Bill Sammon:

So do they also agree that anyone in the US government who spied on Americans should be murdered? How about those who leaked the Valerie Plame story? Any other enemies of the state? Kill them too, Robespierre? Or is that Stalin? What has happened to our country that it's so easy to talk about murdering someone on national TV because you don't like what the details have to say? WikiLeaks has not violated any specific law.

Broader Acceptance in the United States That Software Patents Are Worthless, But Element Data Has Just Paid for Some
Some folks have literally burned their patents
Summary: The "acceptance" stage follows the agony of the patents 'industry', realising that it is incredibly hard to win in a courtroom any cases with software patents (never mind barriers at the USPTO and PTAB)
"A software patent may take $50,000 and 10 years to obtain, at which point the technology is obsolete," says this new article (from yesterday). Indeed, software patents are a waste of time and money, more so after Alice (2014). Why is anyone ever willing to pursue these? According to recent rumours, USPTO examiners may soon abolish software patents.
"Every computer program is abstract. This means that using words like "technical", "invention", "effect" or "device" (or pseudo-novelly buzzwords like "IoT" and "cloud") won't change the underlying nature."Yesterday we saw another new example of the patent microcosm pretending not to understand that software patents — as per Alice as well — are abstract and thus passé. Here is what Patently-O wrote:
One of the struggles of the Subject Matter Eligibility test is understanding the definition of the legal term "abstract idea." The Supreme Court has used the term "abstract" in many other areas of law – perhaps most pointedly in the area of standing and the requirement of a concrete, non-abstract harm.
Every computer program is abstract. This means that using words like "technical", "invention", "effect" or "device" (or pseudo-novelly buzzwords like "IoT" and "cloud") won't change the underlying nature. Expert witnesses don't care for terms like "AI" and certainly not "over the Internet" or "on a phone". They're beyond all that marketing. They can deconstruct the concepts and it all boils down to algorithms, reducible to mathematics.
It's 2017, so of course software patents are no longer defensible in court. They're found to be invalid almost every time, yet yesterday this software patents booster wrote: "Its Monday, so of course IBM had patent application rejected as "abstract idea" by PTAB: https://e-foia.uspto.gov/Foia/RetrievePdf?system=BPAI&flNm=fd2016005041-10-31-2017-1 …"
"It's 2017, so of course software patents are no longer defensible in court."Rightly so. This is the same IBM which lobbies hard against Alice and uses dirty tricks for that lobbying. We wrote many articles about that.
And speaking of software patents, this Microsoft-aligned site now speaks about Element Data buying patents of Auguri, a company with just half a dozen employees.
Element Data announced another acquisition today. The Seattle-area machine learning startup has purchased the technology assets and patents from Auguri Corporation, a small Silicon Valley company that describes itself as "a decision support software platform."
Auguri employed six people and will shut down as a result of the deal. Its chairman, Fadi Micaelian, will join Element Data as its new senior vice president of innovation and partnership, and will remain in California.
Google reveals quite a few patents of/regarding "Auguri Corporation" and peeking at a few of these, they're software patents. If Element Data thought it was getting a bargain with these patents (not people), it would be wrong. The headline says "Element Data buys patents," but what if none of these is enforceable in court? █
