Reason 3.0
Reason 1.0 was one of those programs that got it right the first time. Reason 2.0 and 2.5 didn't do any radical makeovers, because frankly, they weren't needed. Updates included a nice sampler, some more effects, a groovy graintable synth, improved routing, and a detachable sequencer window, all at reasonable upgrade prices. What you didn't get: Bug fixes and crashes. Reason's reliability is legendary.
Admittedly, you do have to subscribe to the "Reason Way of Life" to dig the program. That means no recording digital audio, no inserting plug-ins, no acidized loop import, no adding additional virtual instruments: What you see is what you get, and by the way, all you'll get. Like an electronic music version of the Sims, Reason creates its own world (which is probably a major reason why it works so reliably and efficiently). Reason truly is a virtual studio — instruments, processors, mixers, and audio interface.
But is it really so limited? Not exactly, because let's remember that Propellerheads is the company behind the ReWire protocol. You can rewire Reason into Live, Sonar, Logic, Cubase, Acid, Digital Performer, Adobe Audition, Pro Tools . . . whatever adds the capabilities you want that Reason doesn't have.
Which brings us to Version 3.0. As with previous updates, Reason's core remains intact — which just proves again that yes, they did get things right the first time. But they've added three killer features (and a bunch of little extras) that I predict will not only have Reasoners eager to upgrade, but also maintain the program's currency.
Everyone's talking about the Combinator and the MClass effects. We'll get to those, but trust me, this is 3.0's killer feature (Figure 1). Now you can audition patches, drum kits, samples — even effects presets — in context, while Reason is playing.
Got a drum pattern going? Forget the find, load, listen, find, load routine to audition kits. Just go to the browser and click. Don't like the sound? Click again. Like it? Click OK. Done.
This is the single biggest improvement for tapping Reason's enormous potential. Not only does it help you find sounds you want, it also lets you know when to give up. For example, I was looking for a sorta Miles Davis trumpet sample for the NN-XT. I typed "Trumpet" into search, didn't like what I heard, and moved on. How about sax instead? Within seconds, I found a Wayne Shorter-type sound that fit perfectly. Mission accomplished.
The browser is not limited to the sounds that ship with Reason, and for the final touch, you can create Favorites lists. It's almost like hiring an assistant to take care of your sounds.
You like a particular Reason sound, so you load in a Matrix Pattern Sequencer feeding your favorite SubTractor bass patch, followed by a spacey delay and a little distortion. Fine, but then you create another Reason project and you want that same signature sound, so you start all over again.
Those days are now officially gone, because you can combine any number of Reason machines — synths, drums, signal processors, splitters, you name it — into a Combinator (Figure 2), which is essentially a Reason rack within a Reason rack. You can then save the combi for later recall.
It has no particular limitations: You'll find the same patch cord jacks on the back, the ability to fold instruments to take up less space, ins and outs for connecting with the rest of the world, and internal ins and outs for combi devices. (They call the display that shows splits and such a "Touch Sensitive Display Unit," so I guess they couldn't resist throwing a bit of humor into the mix.)
The obvious use is splits and layers for instruments, although you could also create multieffects chains. Or splits and layers with multieffects — whatever. Modulation routing adds another level of coolness, as there are four assignable knobs and buttons that can control any number of parameters in the combi. For example, if you have several instruments, one knob could control the filter cutoff and level on one, the filter resonance on another, the decay time on a third . . . you get the idea. It's really convenient to be able to call up these kinds of submodules.
There are four "mastering class effects" (Equalizer, Stereo Imager, Compressor, and Maximizer). While I don't think WAVES is losing any sleep over these, they fill in one of Reason's few gaps: the lack of good equalization and dynamics control. And of course, bowing to popular demand from the new breed of Listeners Without Ears, there's a maximizing device so that people can slam levels and not complain any more about how Reason sounds "wimpy." (No, it didn't sound wimpy; it just had a thing called "dynamic range.")
The effects are actually quite nice, and I found the Stereo Imager surprisingly effective. The Maximizer didn't respond well to being pushed really hard, but this is probably a good thing because then people won't be tempted to do it. In any event, you're no longer stuck with patching the old COMP-01 module in the mixer's master outs to get a little bit of a dynamic boost. Oh, and as if to prove the value of the Combinator, all four effects are available in a "Mastering Suite" combi.
Reason just begs to be fed with MIDI continuous controllers from hardware interfaces. It's always been very good about that, and it was fairly easy to assign controllers to parameters. But Reason 3 takes the concept a step further by offering what appears to be a plug-in architecture for control surface support. It already supports surfaces from Alesis, Behringer, Doepfer, Edirol, Evolution, Kenton, Keyfax, Korg, Mackie, M-Audio, Novation, and Peavey; more are claimed to be on the way (hey, how about the Radikal Technologies SAC 2.2?).
How does it work in practice? I hooked up an M-Audio Oxygen8, whereupon the program wanted to know if it was an "old" one or a "new" one. I assumed old, and lo and behold, whenever I changed the MIDI focus, its knobs controlled something of interest in that particular instrument. And, there are several pages of controller mappings for each device, so even a basic controller can map just about all parameters of interest. Furthermore, you can hook up multiple control surfaces, and there's support for some surfaces with MIDI feedback . . . yes, motorized faders are now a possibility. The architecture also supports controller display feedback, so you can see the names of the parameters being tweaked on compatible controllers (e.g., Korg Kontrol49, Mackie Control, etc.).
Those are the big features, but you'll also find new sequencer goodies (mute, solo, and the ability to record automation on multiple tracks), dithering for audio exports, an improved (but also backward compatible) sound bank . . . and it sure seems samples load a lot faster. Granted, with more instruments and options the rack paradigm is getting a little unwieldy, but much less so than dealing with the hardware equivalent.
So what's left to do? You can open multiple songs at once, and stop and play independently, but there's no way to switch seamlessly between them except by using a combination of a remote command and mouse click to start one sequence while stopping another. It works, but sure isn't like beat matching. I'm still not thrilled with some of the Orkester CD samples, although the new Factory Sound Bank is steps ahead of the original one. And while the NN-XT does velocity crossfading, it can't do positional crossfading, where a sample fades out as you play higher or lower in pitch while a different sample fades in.
And I sure wish Reason, which is a laptop jockey's delight, would support using the QWERTY keyboard for triggering keyboard notes. You can find accessories to do that on their website, but why not just build it in?
Admittedly, that's a short wish list. Then again, it's a brilliant program. I'm still amazed by the ease and fluidity with which you can make music on Reason. When it comes to virtual studios, Reason remains at the top of the heap — and the program to beat.

Soon the days of sifting through Google search results will be a thing of the past. A simple, "Alexa, where's the nearest coffee shop?" is all we'll need to find information.
Not everyone is adopting voice search right now, but it's clear that this technology is changing the behavior of millions of users. By 2020, it's estimated that 50% of all searches will be done with voice assistants. 55% of all U.S. households will have a voice assistant in their homes by this time, too.
Whether we like it or not, voice search is changing the way people find information online. Because of this, humans are deepening our relationship with technology. A voice assistant is much more personal to us than a smartphone. They're so integrated into our routine that we treat them like a friendly, human assistant.
We use different language when speaking to our voice assistants versus typing a query on our smartphones. And that's why voice search matters for pay-per-click (PPC) marketing.
Voice search has big implications for your keyword strategy, especially if you or your client is a local business. If you depend on foot traffic, you need to get your voice search PPC strategy in gear.
How Voice Search Affects PPC
Voice search has a lot of implications for organic SEO, but it's important for PPC, too.
We're facing a future where many people bypass the search engine results page, relying on a robot assistant to fulfill their needs instead. Where does that leave PPC campaigns?
Voice search affects PPC in three major ways.
1. Mobile-first
Whether you call upon Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, or Cortana, it's likely that you have a voice assistant integrated on your smartphone or laptop already.
Although voice search is available on many devices, it's mostly used on mobile devices.
People use voice search on their mobile phones primarily to get directions. That's why PPC campaigns have to be more location-specific to appeal to voice search users. For example, keywords including the phrase "near me" perform better with voice search.
2. Natural language
As humans, we treat voice assistants as more human than, say, a search box on Google. We build a personal relationship with our voice assistant whether we realize it or not.
Due to the conversational nature of voice search, we talk to voice assistants in a colloquial, informal way.
We use natural language to talk to voice assistants, which means our queries are longer.
For example, your users have probably started using Google Assistant to do a search for them. Instead of typing "Phoenix weather" to check the forecast, they're saying, "Okay Google, how is the weather today?"
There are huge differences between those two phrases. It has everything to do with the way humans speak naturally to each other and not to machines. PPC campaigns have to appeal to natural language searches in lieu of the text searches we're accustomed to as marketers.
3. Question-oriented
Most voice searches are questions that are more than five words long. The majority of question-oriented keywords start with "what," "where," "when," and "how."
It's less likely that users will search for fragmented keywords with voice search. PPC campaigns now have to target long-tail keyword phrases that are often posed as a question or complete sentence.
Optimizing PPC Campaigns for Voice Search
These three shifts have caused big changes in PPC, but you can use them to your benefit. The good news is that you should still follow SEO and PPC best practices to get the most out of voice search.
These suggestions will help you optimize for voice search in addition to your other PPC and SEO initiatives.
1. Create a voice search campaign
Depending on your audience and brand, it might make more sense to set up a campaign dedicated solely to voice search audiences.
A separate campaign helps you tailor your audience targeting, location, ad copy, and landing pages to mobile voice search users.
It sounds like added work, but this ensures that your voice search users are seeing hyper-relevant results to their queries.
The more relevant you can be, the higher the chance of a conversion. Increase the odds by setting up your campaigns the right way for voice search.
2. Find existing long-tail keywords
While there are plenty of ways to conduct PPC keyword research, one of the best ways to find your voice search keywords is your organic SEO.
How are people finding your brand from search engines?
Access this information by going to Google Analytics > Acquisition > Search Console > Queries to see the results.
You can also check your Analytics to see what people search for once they're on site; go to Behavior > Site Search > Search Terms.
If you've been running Google Ads for a while, check out your Google Ads search terms report. This will help you identify any long-tail keywords you can add to your voice search campaign.
Aim for queries that start with "Okay Google," or any other voice assistant wake-up commands. This will help you identify the voice search keywords.
Don't forget to add negative keywords, too. This can help you reduce irrelevant clicks and increase ROI.
Once you've brainstormed this list, add them to your PPC campaign. Carefully manage their performance and adjust as needed.
3. Get local
Because most voice search users are on mobile devices and looking for local results, it's time to get local with your PPC strategy.
Be sure to implement extensions in your PPC campaign. These extensions are free to use and display important information on mobile, like your address, phone number, prices, and more.
You should also consider adding "near me" to keyword queries so you can show up more for these high-intent, mobile searches. This is a great way to increase foot traffic to a physical location.
Be sure to check your Google My Business listing, too. This affects not only organic local search efforts, but it can boost your PPC campaigns.
The Bottom Line
When it comes down to it, voice search is the future of PPC. For now, PPC platforms are struggling to keep up with the changes. It's up to you as a marketer to adjust your campaigns to appeal to voice search users. Follow these voice search best practices to stay relevant in the age of Alexa.

February is Black History Month, so we want to highlight Hunter C. Haynes for today's Tuberculosis Thursday post! Haynes was an African American barber, inventor, manufacturer, motion picture producer and director, and entrepreneur who came to Saranac Lake for the cure in 1916. Unfortunately his treatment was not successful, and he succumbed to his illness on January 1, 1918. He was buried in Selma, Alabama, his hometown. Prior to becoming ill with TB, he invented the ready-to-use Haynes Razor Strop and developed the product into an international business.

One of the biggest headache for every photojournalist is file delivery on the fly. Valuing any clients request while hustling the stress in the field is a recipe for files gone missing in action.
Today I played around with a new promising tool by Photoshelter named FileFlow. It's a simple but effective app that delivers images directly to a clients mobile device.
Headache for every #photog? File delivery on the fly…. Playing around with new @photoshelter #FileFlow app and feeling this is great tool for clients to access my work on mobile. pic.twitter.com/r2oklXKhJe— Bastiaan Slabbers (@BasSlabbers) August 23, 2019
Over the years I have build my archive of client work and stock photos. All stored safe and secure and searchable at Bastiaanslabbers.photoshelter.com. To manage all these files AND to make them accessible to clients is a task my site at Photoshelter does well and now the FileFlow app gives clients quick and easy access to the files in my archive – Download FileFlow here and get access to your photo archive.
The OneStopShop functionality is what I love most of Photoshelter. In the field I often shoot and ftp my image files directly to my site. From there I typically add IPTC stuff and transfer the Selects to the client server.
A tool I frequently use in combination with Photoshelter to transfer files is ShutterSnitch but its capabilities to add/edit metadata are very limited. ShutterSnitch is great for sending pics from phone to FTP or share folder but Dropbox/Google Drive also lacks in-app metadata editing on the fly and that drives this photog crazy….Continue reading Workflow tool that delivers

Newt Gingrich is refusing to swallow his own medicine.
The former Speaker of the House (R-Ga.) rejects calls from Republicans to drop out of the presidential race, but he has a long history of telling other GOP White House hopefuls to do so.
Gingrich had often argued the exact case his doubters are citing against him now: that a prolonged intraparty squabble is self-serving and threatens to hurt Republicans in the general election.
During the 1996 presidential primary, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) — who resigned his Senate seat during the primary to focus on the race — earned Gingrich's endorsement, and a fiery insistence that opponents clear the field.
He declared ex-Tennessee Gov. Lamar AlexanderAndrew (Lamar) Lamar AlexanderSticking points force stimulus package talks to spill into Sunday GOP drafting stimulus package without deal with Democrats Senate coronavirus stimulus talks spill into Saturday MORE — now a senator — "finished" in his presidential bid after a loss in the South Carolina primary, mocking Alexander's low poll numbers and inability to appeal to voters outside the Deep South.
"Lamar had a good clean shot, but when you're down to eight or nine percent, the strategy of waiting for Dole to wear out is not going to work," Gingrich said at the time.
Gingrich now criticizes Dole as "a moderate."
Dole, like Alexander, supports former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president.
Gingrich in 1996 also called on publisher Steve Forbes to bow out of his bid for the presidency.
"[Forbes's exit] would be more profitable for the party and for the country than continuing to squabble from inside the party," Gingrich told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
And Pat Buchanan, Gingrich said back then, should fold up his tent.
The Georgia lawmaker frequently blasted the commentator for staying in the 1996 race, claiming he was doing so even though he knew no one but Dole had a shot to oust then-President Clinton from office. Gingrich warned that Buchanan risked undermining his message by staying in the competition.
"The longer Pat campaigns, the less effect he's going to have," Gingrich said during a visit to Atlanta, according to the Akron, Ohio, Beacon Journal. "He's made his point. People understand his message. Now it's time to be part of the team."
Buchanan said Gingrich made a similar call during his 1992 primary challenge of then-President George H.W. Bush, despite a better-than-expected showing in early contests.
"That's Newt's way, but we ignored him and frankly some of the things he said," Buchanan told The Hill.
"I think Newt's problem is this — he's deeply motivated by a desire to exact retribution on Romney, but the longer he stays in the race, the harder he makes it for that retribution to happen," Buchanan added.
Asked why the 2012 cycle was different, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond told The Hill that the other GOP candidates are simply not strong enough to beat President Obama.
"Newt is the only candidate who can defeat Obama. [Rick] Santorum and Romney will lose," Hammond said.
Backers of Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum find such a claim laughable. Following the Super Tuesday elections, Romney's campaign called on his rivals to get out of the race. Santorum's supporters have likewise urged Gingrich to give up.
Gingrich has repeatedly said he is committed to continuing his campaign all the way to the Republican convention in August.
Many Republicans on and off Capitol Hill are frustrated with Gingrich, criticizing his "arrogance" and what they call his willingness to drive the GOP into the ground. GOP lawmakers were incensed at Gingrich's initial criticism of the House Republican budget blueprint offered by Rep. Paul RyanPaul Davis RyanWho should be the Democratic vice presidential candidate? The Pelosi administration It's not populism that's killing America's democracy MORE (R-Wis.), as well as his attacks on Romney's record at Bain Capital.
There is growing concern that Gingrich's game plan hinges on Romney not reaching the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination. Such a scenario could make Gingrich a powerful player at the convention in Tampa.
The former Speaker's campaign is highlighting a Gallup poll released Friday that shows 40 percent of Gingrich's supporters said Romney was their second choice, compared to 39 percent for Santorum.
The campaign argues the figures clearly show that conventional wisdom is wrong and that a Gingrich exit would help Romney.
Gingrich made that case last Thursday during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham Show: "I think one of the reasons that Mitt Romney's been much less effective since Santorum emerged is that he's had to split his attacks. It's very hard for him to attack both of us. There's real danger, from his perspective, that attacking one of us just drives votes to the other, and he still doesn't get the votes."
Gingrich has also admitted that he erred in calling for Santorum's exit from the race after he won South Carolina.
"[Santorum] stayed in … suddenly he very cleverly went to three states nobody else went to, and he became the media darling and bounced back," Gingrich said on CNN of the former senator's wins in Alabama, Mississippi and Kansas.
But some Republicans fear that Gingrich is more concerned with his pride — bruised by the Romney campaign's relentless attack ads — than a genuine fear that a Romney nomination would doom the party in the general election.
"Gingrich's final act could be kingmaker by getting out and endorsing, but pride cometh before the fall. Gingrich is in mid fall," Erick Erickson wrote last week on Red State.
"I think Santorum has outclassed and beaten Newt Gingrich and deserves a chance at the clean shot at Romney," National Review editor Rich Lowry said Sunday on CBS.
While Gingrich is not expected to be competitive in the Illinois primary on Tuesday, he could do well in Saturday's contest in Louisiana. But instead of campaigning there or elsewhere, Gingrich spent the weekend viewing cherry blossoms in the nation's capital.

Join Mr. Hall's Class on Remind: https://www.remind.com/join/mrhall6th
Mr. Hall
6th Grade Science
E-mail: email@example.com
FCMS Phone: 276-647-3841
Supplies Needed
- 5-subject spiral notebook (preferably with pockets for paper storage)
- Pencils and/or pens
- Colored pencils and/or markers
- A glue stick or a roll of tape (decorative/colored tape is fine)
Topics Covered
- Scientific Investigation & The Scientific Method
- Energy
- Matter
- Earth's Atmosphere & Weather
- The Moon and the Solar System
- Space Exploration
- Properties of Water
- Watersheds & Ecosystems
- Public Policy & Conservation
Grading Scale
Grades will be determined by total points.
Extra Credit
I normally do not offer extra credit work. I want students to develop the habit of completing all work when it is due, because this habit will help them in the future. However, on some assignments I allow students to make corrections for partial credit. It is always in the student's best interest to submit work on time, even if the work is incomplete or the student is concerned that they answered questions incorrectly.
Late Work Policy
- If a student is absent, he or she is responsible for asking Mr. Hall for any make-up work.
- All missing assignments will be entered into the gradebook as an automatic zero (unless the student has an excused absence or has arranged to make up the work in advance).
- If a student receives a "0" due to missing work, he or she can still submit the assignment.
- Work submitted late without an authorized excuse will be penalized by one letter grade (10 points). For example, if a student submits an assignment late and earns a grade of 95 (A), the final grade would be 85 (B) due to the late penalty.
Communication Policy
- Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or school phone. I may also use an app such as Remind or Unified Classroom to communicate about deadlines and upcoming tests.
- I will respond to phone calls, e-mails, and other communications between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday during regular school days. If I receive a communication from you outside of those hours, please note that I will respond as soon as possible during the hours listed above.
Behavior Expectations
I expect all students to come to school ready to learn, with all needed supplies, and a great attitude. I will follow all the policies set out in the FCMS "Swords to Success" plan and it is my expectation that students will do the same. When we all treat each other the way we would like to be treated, it is much easier to learn and we all benefit from a calm, welcoming environment.
My Promise to Students
I will always try my hardest to provide you with everything you need to succeed. As long as you always work hard and try your best, you will succeed in 6th grade science as well as your other classes. I and all your other teachers are here to help. Never be afraid to ask a question. Never be afraid that you will get in trouble for not knowing an answer. Never be afraid to try. In science, being wrong just means you're a little closer to the right answer. I look forward to working with you!

February 3rd is the Annual Meeting and Election Day for SCVFA.
I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to our two outgoing trustees, Bert Raphael and Wes Mitchell. I appreciate all the work they have done over the years and all that I know they
will continue to do to keep our fiddle association strong. We need your presence, as paid up members, to make quorum at our Membership Meeting on February 3rd. Good news! You can join or rejoin that day at the jam and take part in the voting. We take credit cards and real cash. To minimize interference with jamming, I will keep the "State of our Fiddlers Association" speech brief. We will start the meeting at 2:30pm and there will be no Tune Builder.
January arrived with windy, cold and rainy weather, but a dedicated group of musicians rocked the Hoover school cafeteria, a classroom and the kitchen. There's nothing like
music to warm your soul. I spent that same time warming my soul with old musician friends in Pittsburgh, PA at the "Hambones" jam. The temperature was in the 20's but the music was hot.
If you are new to SCVFA, I extend my warmest welcome. My attempts to greet each of you personally do not always succeed, so please look for me at the jam and introduce yourself. Let everyone know about SCVFA and encourage them to join us. There is no requirement to play an instrument. We all love an audience.
"Afters" is the time to put down your instruments and get to know one another. Join us immediately following the February jam at "Chipotle" for good conversation and
good food. 975 The Alameda, San Jose.
Thanks to Sam Schillace for leading the kitchen Slow Jam and Gary Breitbard for leading Tune Builder. Thank you, Bert and Anne Raphael, as jam manager and sound
equipment transporters. As always, thanks Dinah and Charlotte for greeting folks at the admission table every month. Thanks to everyone who volunteers to make the
SCVFA jam happen.
If you are a photographer, social media junkie, sound guru, or tech savvy, we can use your talent and skills. Wanna help… even in a small way? Come talk to me or email
president [at] fiddlers.org.
Volunteers are what keeps SCVFA going and it's a greatway to connect with more musicians.
It takes a village… Let's all do our part.
– Susan

It has been revealed that Dalhousie University suffered a data breach after the personal information of 20,000 people was put on a file accessible to faculty, staff, and students between September 16, 2016 and March 3, 2017. Recent reports said that the breach was discovered in March, but letters informing those affected were only sent in November.
The letter said the breach was "an error on the part of an employee."
A university spokesman, said:
We became aware that members of the university community were using this folder and may have used it to save information.
In this particular case, we have notified individuals out of an abundance of caution. We have no evidence that the files were actually accessed. The files did not contain any government-issued ID numbers (e.g. social insurance number) or banking information (e.g. credit card or bank information).
We sincerely apologize for this error. We take our obligation to protect the privacy of our stakeholders very seriously.
Although this breach was described as an 'employee error', it is a reminder that an organization's employees pose a threat to data security. Staff awareness training can help combat insider threats by making sure that staff who have access to sensitive data have the correct knowledge and an understanding of information security.

A while ago we launched our latest product - Viewable Bid Optimization also known as Ad Refresh. While we were testing this solution with our clients, we saw a significant increase in ad revenues. Keep on reading to see the results yourself!
What is viewable bid optimization or Ad Refresh?
Viewable bid optimization is the practice of reloading ads that are already displayed on a page without refreshing the page itself. After a certain amount of seconds (usually 30, 60 or 90) a new ad appears in the same placement.
What is so special about our solution?
The key is the word viewable. Our solution only works when the user has 'seen' the ad impression. And by seen we mean, at least 50% of the ad has been visible for a minimum of 60 seconds.
Usually the viewable impression counts after 1 second, but in reality, it is a far too short period for a user to notice and interact with the advertisement. So for our solution reload is triggered after 60 seconds and a new ad is served.
Ad Refresh or viewable bid optimization takes into account the users' behavior on the browser to make sure the current advertisement has all the potential to be noticed. Setupad also limits the impression reload depending on the potential next bid and avoids diminishing of the eCPM value.
It's a win-win scenario for both publishers and advertisers. Publishers get additional revenues since they can sell the newly discovered ad inventory. And advertisers, since it has been a viewable impression are also not losing any potential interest from site visitors.
If a visitors' interest in a product isn't peaked after one minute, it probably will not happen after two minutes either. In this one minute, a visitor already knows everything about the ad, so the viewable bid optimization does no damage to the advertiser. By using this solution, a user is exposed to different adverts that might actually interest him more.
How does this work in real life?
This is a specific case when a website has a fixed panel window with only one advertisement placement which is visible on the screen at all times. It is also very important to notice that the users of the site are an engaged audience, with a high screen time.
The infographic below shows our clients' weekly results before the viewable bid optimization:
After implementing the viewable bid optimisation, weekly results as displayed in the infograph:
What we can make out of this data?
Even though the number of impressions served has no significant change, we can see a drastic increase in the eCPM and the overall ad revenue has increased three times.
Which websites would greatly benefit from this?
Our viewable bid optimization solution considerably increases the ad revenue for service-based websites. Nonetheless, it can also benefit traditional online media sites, blogs or pages with endless scroll, however, the best results can be seen in websites with fixed panel window and only one ad placement on the screen or a sticky ad placement on either of the sides. To sum up - as we mentioned before for this solution to work the ad placement has to be visible on the page constantly, otherwise because of the 60-second viewability 'rule' the reloaded impression will not be activated.

Crude joined a sell-off in wider financial markets after an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve and the threat of a US government shutdown added to economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, investors remain skeptical that cuts agreed by OPEC and its allies are sufficient to avert a looming oil glut.Crude is heading for its worst quarterly loss in four years on fears the relentless expansion in American shale will undermine efforts by OPEC and its partners to balance the market. Concerns over growth persist even as Fed chairperson Jerome Powell promised to be more cautious on raising rates next year, while a closely watched speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping offered no new reforms to stimulate the world's second-largest economy.Subscribe to Fin24's newsletter here."It's a bears' world," said Stephen Brennock, an analyst at PVM Oil Associates. "At the heart of this subdued backdrop is a bearish bias on the supply side," while at the same time, "oil demand prospects have dimmed as storm clouds gather over the global economy."West Texas Intermediate for February delivery was at $45.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down 28 cents, at 11:20. The US benchmark was poised for a weekly loss of 11% - the biggest in almost three years. The contract fell 4.8% to close at $45.88 on Thursday. Total volume traded was about 18% above the 100-day average.Brent for February settlement slipped 48 cents to $53.87 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract fell 5.1% to $54.35 on Thursday, closing below $55 for the first time in more than a year. Prices are down 9.9% for the week. The global benchmark crude traded at an $8.19 premium to WTI.Oil's slump persisted this week on broader market turmoil spurred by a plunge in global equities after the US central bank lowered the forecast for 2019 economic growth to 2.3% from 2.5% in September. While policy makers scaled back the number of rate increases they see next year to two, from three that were anticipated in September, that's still more than investors expected.Meanwhile, President Donald Trump insisted on funding a wall or other barrier along the southern US border, refusing to sign a stopgap spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown by midnight on Friday.OPEC and its allies will give greater clarity on their strategy to stabilise oil markets on Friday by publishing a list of production cuts agreed by each country, according to people familiar with the matter. The figures to be published are in line with expectations, showing that participating nations will curb output by about 3%, mostly from October levels, delegates said.

Programming languages with dynamic typing such as Prolog do not require that the programmer declares the types of data or procedures. This flexibility, however, comes at a price. The lack of declarations makes it hard for a compiler to produce fast code since data must be assumed to be of any type.
Abstract interpretation is a technique to automatically infer conservative approximations of program properties such as the types of program variables and procedure arguments. The properties of interest are described using an abstract domain. The abstract domains for type analysis investigated in this thesis are based on deterministic term grammars but differ in the representation of the term grammars and in the widening used, that is, the method used to ensure that the analysis terminates.
One proposed representation of term grammars, type graphs, are shown to be exponentially larger than the term grammars they represent not only in the worst case but also in practice. One previously proposed widening for type graphs is shown to be impractically expensive and also no more precise than other more efficient methods. A novel implementation technique is proposed for another type graph widening that appears in the literature. The precision using this implementation technique is shown to be better than for the other investigated widenings. The performance, however, suffers from the problems inherent in the type graph representation unless some crucial modifications to the analyzer are made.
To overcome the problems with the type graph representation a more compact representation of term grammars is proposed. A number of widenings using this representation are investigated and shown not to suffer from problems with huge term grammar representations. The precision obtained using these widenings are as good or better than the precision obtained using the original widening proposed for type graphs.
Finally, two sets of benchmarks that have been used in the literature to investigate analysis methods are considered. It is shown that these benchmarks will give unrealistically good absolute precision and one set of benchmarks, the GAIA benchmarks, is shown to have further deficiencies that make it completely unsuitable for benchmarking purposes.

Rockit Burger Bar
I originally visited Rockit Burger Bar a couple seasons ago with my son after a Cubs game. This past week I visited with my dad following a Cubs game. It's a great place for a post-game bite or drink. Every time I think about going to Wrigley Field, I think about going to Rockit Burger Bar for some truffle fries. They are fantastic!
I upgraded to a side of those truffle fries that I love. We got a generous portion and I ate every last one.

Shinta Mani Hotels Announce Rebranding of Existing Hotels
Shinta Mani Hotels, Cambodia's leading luxury boutique hotel group has embarked on an evolutionary journey that will rebrand its existing two properties, Shinta Mani Club and Shinta Mani Resort .
Shinta Mani Hotels will rebrand their two boutique properties in the historic town of Siem Reap on 1 July, in order to differentiate their deluxe 4 star and premium upscale boutique products. The adjacent properties are located in the leafy French Quarter of the city between the Royal Gardens and the vibrant Old Market area, just footsteps from the river and 15 minutes from the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Temples of Angkor Wat. Both hotels showcase acclaimed designer Bill Bensley's magnificent designs.
Shinta Mani Resort Rebrands to Shinta Mani Shack
Following a short closure and refurbishment, the popular Shinta Mani Resort reopened its doors as Shinta Mani Shack last 1 July, complete with a snazzy new entrance opposite the Royal Gardens. The courtyard style resort's 62 rooms and 2 Junior Suites, showcase surprisingly different 'Bensley twist' design features and enjoy direct access or balcony views over the lush landscape and stunning swimming pool.
The pool too has had a makeover and now features a dramatic Bensley design icon found throughout the hotel which has been reproduced in monochromatic black and white tiles to create a dramatic visual effect.
Two brand new Executive Suites with full length balconies overlook the leafy streetscape. Interiors showcase a mirrored feature wall and custom designed iron bed, together with handpicked furniture and light fittings. Exclusive artworks were created by Bensley Design Studios Bangkok.
Shinta Mani Shack's refurbishment highlights Bensley's playful and whimsical notes with signature bright colours, bold accents, funky off-centre touches and a creative chic lifestyle ambiance with a modern vibe.
Shinta Mani Club Rebrands to Shinta Mani Angkor
This upscale boutique property showcases 39 contemporary designed rooms and public spaces in a Khmer-inspired design and seduces with soft lighting, fragrant scents and modern Cambodian design. Guest rooms offer stylish accommodation with modern facilities, minimalist chic interiors and showcase exquisite inland ceiling artwork featuring the images of Angkor.
Guests are able to enjoy sumptuous cuisine at restaurants in both properties including the signature Kroya Restaurant (inspired by Shinta Mani's heritage) with both indoor and hip outdoor oversize Bensley designed swing seating, serving international cuisine; Baitong Restaurant for all day dining, the iconic Bensley's Bar for irresistible cocktails, the Pool Bar, The Steakhouse in Pub Street (managed by Shinta Mani) or room service in the comfort of their accommodation.

Spotifitunes (beta) full review
You may have missed the recent news that Apple has bought streaming music service Lala. Any geek worth his pen-protector could put those two together and come up with a Spotify rival rumour.
For example, integrate Lala with iTunes, clean up the interface a bit, voila! Spotify is history! But wait a minute. Lala (along with many other streaming music services, such as Pandora, for example) are US only. Spotify is available in the UK and Europe, which more or less does away with that rumour. This is the reason that Spotifitunes is still an exciting launch.
The premise behind it is so simple, you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it first and getting a loan to set up in business.
Your iTunes library is a standard XML file, which makes it easy to interpret and read. Spotifitunes gives you instructions on finding this file and enables you to upload it to its servers. It then converts that data into three columns with direct links to the Spotify database for artist, album and track. The result? Your iTunes library, ready to listen to in Spotify. Almost.
There are some wrinkles. As regular Spotify users well know, not every artist, album or track can be found on the service, due to licensing issues. Spotifitunes generates a search link rather than querying the database direct, so it doesn't clean out false positives.
The interface could also do with a bit of sprucing up – it looks dated already. Maybe that's a bit of a churlish observation given that this is a young, beta service; little more than a mash-up really. But even with this interface, it's a a very cool mash-up.

I thought this had enough hilarity to share. I have to admit, this is something I actually saw happen to two people I worked with when I was with microsoft on the MSN project in mac/pc techinical support. Quite a unique experince ot actually watch something like that develop in a inner office enviroment.
Needless to say, things didn't go as well as expected . They did get married, but she divorsed him as soon as she got the breast reduction job she needed for health reason. Very uncool of her to use him like that, and I was suprised to have heard what had happened. But he remarried after a few years of recovery, he's happy and again suprise he's working at the same company I am working for as well. He in sales and billing, and me in tech support.

Inspired by a golden bracelet bestowed by his mother, which was intended to provide him and his family a brighter future, he established his own jewellery brand. This small jewelry store based in Beirut had the first aim of uplifting the family's dire economic situation.
The boom came after his daughter Virna Chakardemian, a straight-A student enrolled in interior design at LAU (Lebanese American University), concluded her studies in 2000 and teamed up with her two brothers (John and Loutfic), revolutionizing the family business. Thanks to their father's expertise and the modern outlook brought by the new generation, they started looking at jewelry from an entirely new perspective.
In other words, this second generation of the Chakardemian family gave YEPREM a fresh and modern touch and turned into an international success today.

By Paul Strauss: HBO's Larry Merchant cautioned fans early on that Jason Litzau, from St. Paul, MN was a 13-1 underdog. In mentioning that fact, Larry added that he might be a very good 13-1 underdog, and that Cabellero might have taken him too lightly. JIm Lampley quickly pointed out that Cabellero had trouble making weight, even though he was moving up in weight for this fight. Lampley explained that Cabellero had to ride the stationary bicycle to take off last minute weight. Not a good sign.
The fight itself was not a thing of beauty, but Cabellero often times turns his fights into fights. Then he can exercise his superior height and reach advantages. But, that wasn't the case this night. On this night after a few rounds, his corner advised him to stop doing that (brawling) and to box, have some fun and show what you can do (skill). His usual tactics of elbowing, stiff arming and leaning on opponents wasn't working an opponent bigger than he was used to seeing..
Litzau was giving back as good as he was getting. He managed a few elbows himself, mixed in with a few glove heals, and a refusal to be muscled around. Cabellero didn't like it and looked frustrated at times. Both fighters were fortunate that Referee Joe Cortez kept his warnings verbal, expressing his reluctance to issue a point penalty.
Initially in the fight, Litzau missed big looping right hands by a wide margin. Cabellero kept getting under them by leaing down and to his right. Eventually Litzau started to shorten up that punch, which then started connecting to the left side of Cabellero's head, and sometimes to the back of his head. Celestino didn't like that either. To add to his misery, Litzau would at times drive Cabellero back with his own stiff arm, and then fire off another right, followed by a good left hook. A few of the hooks landed sharp and crisp and had Cabellero shook up a bit.
The results were still doubltful, though. Fans couldn't help but think that in a close fight, the benefit of the doublt would go to Cabellero, and there were several times when Celestino would unleash a mult-punch combination that wasn't answered by Litzau. Also, it would have been hard for the judges not to think that Litzau was going to get caught with a big punch. His defense is not good. He doesn't keep his hands up when in the danger zone, and he doesn't move his head enough.
Cabellero knew about those defensive weaknesses, and obviously felt confident he good take advantage of them, because at fight time he actually weighed more than Litzau, who is normally the bigger man. That's what is called over confidence. That mistake cost him timing and accuracy. For example, he fired off several good looking straight right hand shots when Litzau was open, but because his timing was off he missed the punches.
The numbers showed Litzau was a bit busier and threw more punches, but Cabellero was more accurrate. Litzau managed to come on at the right times, though, which was close to the end of rounds. It's fresh in the minds of judges when they write down their scores. Litzau deserved the win, but up until it was actually announced, there was a scary amount of doubt in the minds of even his fans. They were holding their breath. Not until the SD was announced in his favor did the people gasp out with joy.
One judge had it 96-94 for Litzau, one judge had the same score for Cabellero, but the third judge had it 97-93 for Litzau. It's a huge win for Jason "The American Boy" Litzau, and for Minnesota's boxing fans in general. Jason is the first real contender they've had in quite some time, and his exciting upset win will be a big shot in the arm for everyone back in the Northstar state.
In the Michael Katsidis and Juan Manuel Marquez battle, someone could be heard to say, "Why bother knocking down Marquez? He's just going to get up and beat you up!" That's what happen with Katsidis. He fought his usuall active high volume punch type of fight. He knew he was up against a wily veteran, one of the best, but he also knew he had to keep the pressure on him and try to wear him down. It's a hard task, because either way he's going to get you as Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz found out. In their first fight, he tried to use his youth and high punch style to overwhelm Marquez. He got knocked out. In the second fight, he tried to fight smarter and box Marquez. The result was he got outboxed and outpointed.
Against Katsidis, Marquez threw a good right hand that Michael got under (down and around), and came back up with his left hook. Marquez intended to follow with his own left hook, but he neglected to bring back his right for protection. Katsidis' left hook got to him first, and it was right on target. Down went Marquez, flat on his back. He came close to hitting his head on the canvas too, but not quite. He beat the count, and managed to avoid anymore serious damage, and by the end of the round he was once again controlling the action.
Michael made sure there was a lot of fireworks throughout the bout with his exciting style, but as the fight progressed Juan Manuel Marquez got sharper and sharper. Once he starts landing those patented shots up the middle, the end is usually not far away, and that's what happened in this fight. He got Michael hurt with a hard shot, and then just took him apart with pinpoint precision. Katsidis became a helpless target, and Referee Kenny Bayless wisely stepped in and called a halt to the action at 2:14 of the ninth round.
In the post-fight interview, Marquez (not surprisingly) expressed a desire to fight Manny Pacquiao.
Michael Katsidis expressed appreciation for Marquez' skill and said he learned from the fight and will improve in spite of the loss. Larry Merchant said, "Without becoming maudlin" and then went on to ask Michael how difficult it was for him to even follow through with the fight after having lost his brother.
Michael answered with a prayer to his brother explaining how he missed him. It was a touching scene, and both Michael and Larry had tears in their eyes as a result.
In the Super Six fight, Carl Froch totally outclassed Arthur Abraham. He fought a smart fight, using his jab, body shots, and quick combinations to win every round. He didn't try to knock out the King. Rather, he would step in with a quick shot, or light combination, and then quickly get out of range. Abraham was left with trying an occasional wild off balance swing. It was probably Froch's best showing ever, and maybe one of Arthur's worst. Two judges had the fight a shut-out, and the third gave Arthur one round.
The King is dead, and Froch moves on to fight Glen Johnson. In the post-fight, Carl said he sometimes says somethings "tongue in cheek" about his opponents to help build up the fight. But, that he didn't ever intend to hurt anyone, and that he had a lot of respect for Johnson. He pointed out what he has done in the past, and what he just did to Allan Green. He promised to not take him lightly, and that he would be ready for a tough, dangerous fight. Now, if they could just keep his girl friend quiet at ringside!
Everyone expected the Andre Ward versus Sakio Bika fight to be ugly, and the fight lived up to those expectations. There were a lot of head clashes, elbow shots, holding, wrestling and general attempts to intimidate. The latter didn't work in either with either fighter. Neither of these guys wilts easily.
Ward won because his punches were shorter and sharper, and his angles and leverage were superior.
He didn't come away unscathed though. He had cuts over both eyes…….the left due to a clash of heads, and the one over the right due to a punch.
As the fight progressed, Ward landed more jabs, left hooks, and quick lead right hands. Bika got in a few of his own jabs, and he did land some good left hooks of his own. Hence, the cut over the right eye of Ward. However, all in all Ward controlled things, and the judges agreed. One judge scored it a shut-out, and the other two gave Bika two rounds.
Now, Ward goes back to fighting in the Super Six, and will face another awkward fighter named Arthur Abraham. Ward said that he expected to see a similar Abraham to the one that lost tonight against Froch. Ward explained that it's too late for Abraham to change at this late stage in his career. The point was he expects Abraham to fight out of his shell, and be very conservative with his punches, hoping to land the big one. Ward will be ready.
What can you say about Andre Berto. The big puncher Freddy Hernandez got hit with the big punch.
Berto caught him with a clean right hand shot in the very first round, and soon thereafter the fight was over. A TKO at 2:07 of the first round for the WBC Welterweight Title. Berto helped improve his chances immensely for a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Yesterday's Obsession only made one record, which barely registered at the time, but has cast a long, haunting shadow since the sixties.
Yesterday's Obsession consisted of:
Greig Gabourel (lead vocal)
Leo Oliver III (lead guitar)
Kenneth Lee (bass)
Frank Jeffers (rhythm guitar)
Stephen Fowler (drums)
An unknown member also played the organ, and someone provides maracas on one side of their record. Although they sound like they could be peers of the Elevators or Fever Tree, the group actually consisted of teenagers from the Port Arthur and Nederland, Texas, area (near the Louisiana border), several of whom attended Stephen F. Austin High School in Port Acres. In January, 1968, they trekked to Gold Star Studios in Houston and recorded "The Phycle" and "Complicated Mind." Jim Duff did the engineering. In a wildly improbable turn of events, the record was released on Huey Meaux's Pacemaker label on January 12. Meaux, of course, had no taste for psychedelia at all, and "The Phycle" is the black sheep of the Crazy Cajun catalogue.
Leo Oliver III, lead guitarist, in 1969.
All band members were minors, so their contract with Music Enterprises had to be signed for by their parents. A copy of this contract has survived and is reproduced below.
Boxes of unsold copies of "The Phycle" sat in the back room of Gold Star Studio for the next decade until Doug Hanners and David Shutt began picking through Meaux's old stock and discovered it. This resulted in the first of several reissues of "The Phycle" to a wider public, via Texas Flashbacks Volume 6 in 1982. Less attention has been paid "Complicated Mind," which is odd since many people believe it's the stronger side.
No photographs of the band are known to exist, but portraits of three of the band members appear in Port Arthur area high school yearbooks between 1965 and 1969.
Lead vocalist Greig Gabourel in 1966.
Both songs have a menacing vibe and a downbeat atmosphere. "I'm on the brink of madness," moans Gabourel in "Complicated Mind." It's probable that a Jim Morrison influence is present in both the monotone vocal approach and the surreal lyrics, but to their credit, the band doesn't come across as mere Doors imitators. I've tried to decipher the lyrics as best I can below, but I'm not even going to attempt to figure out the chorus to "The Phycle."
"The Phycle" (Frank Jeffers-Greig Gabourel)
I had this peace inside of me
That's lasted for a thousand years
It has survived
A million lives
And weathered through
A thousand tears
chorus -- ?
I had a love
And she had me
But now it's late for her
The time has come
The others watch me
As I clear
The webs away
And give them some
Collecting all their eyes
But normal things
Have gone somehow
and call "life is dead"
I rest in peace
Along shores
For I return
Another day
To see myself again
And the moonlight
Greets and dies in me ...
Frank Jeffers, rhythm guitarist and co-writer.
"Complicated Mind" (Frank Jeffers-Greig Gabourel)
Look who's gonna break
A lot's at stake
I'm on the brink of madness
Complicated mind enraged
Must be saved
Brain's enslaved
Nerves full of holes
Complicated mind estranged
Unnecessary illness
Dominates the will
-- of loneliness and time
Insert in head
Shake well
in two weeks
Comes complicated mind
Look who's gonna break
A lot's at stake
I'm on the brink of madness
Complicated mind enraged
Circles in my head
Cannot look ahead
What a groovy feeling
Complicated mind estranged
Unnecessary illness
Dominates the will
-- of loneliness and time
Insert in head
Shake well
In two weeks
Comes complicated mind

Buying cars online can be a daunting process and making informed decisions is an important part of the process.
Manheim Online aims to make the method of buying online as easy as possible, so you are buying the right car for your needs.
Manheim's star rating system on all Manheim Online vehicles is pathing the way to help you with these informed decisions.
Cars located around Australia are added to the Manheim Online platform so to set the vehicles apart we have created the Gold, Silver and Bronze star rating categories.
These categories make it easier for you to differentiate between the lower value vehicles and the higher valued vehicles.
So let's have a look at these three star ratings:
GOLD – the gold rating is given to a car holding the most value and is the highest grade in the condition report. Gold vehicles are marked 1 or 2 in the condition grades and mean they are high-quality vehicles.
SILVER – the silver rated vehicles are in medium condition and rank around 3 and 4 on a condition report. These vehicles sit in the middle of the range in our grading system.
BRONZE – The bronze rating means the vehicle is graded at a 5, which is the lowest condition grade. These vehicles are good value.
What do the grades mean?
Highest awarded grade.
Some minor imperfections may exist, for example, minuscule dents or minor scratches that require SMART repairs.
These will be recorded on the Condition Report.
Second highest awarded grade.
The vehicle may require repairs as Grade 1 plus up to two body shop repairs.
These will be recorded on the Condition Report.
Third highest awarded grade.
Vehicle may require repairs as Grade 2 plus may require major or minor repairs.
These will be recorded on the Condition Report.
The vehicle may require repairs as per Grade 3 plus numerous additional major
and minor body shop repairs. Examples of major repairs may include a door mirror repair
and paint or a bonnet repair and paint.
These will be recorded on the Condition Report.
A combination of major or minor repairs may be required exceeding that of grade 4.
These will be recorded on the Condition Report.
Vehicles are classified as ungraded when they have not been inspected.
This occurs when a vehicle falls into one of the following categories:
With Manheim's new Vehicle Grading, you now have a better understanding of the condition of the vehicle you are purchasing. The grading and star system helps you to make the right choice when it comes to buying online.
