Area of Expertise: Genetic and molecular control of photosynthetic light utilization
The properties of light baffle even the
smartest physicist. Born in the nuclear fusion reactions of the sun and
behaving as both a particle and wave simultaneously, light travels through
space and reaches earth. Plants, algae, and certain bacteria tap into this
mysterious source of energy through the process of photosynthesis to power
themselves and others who depend on them for energy. Light photons in the
visible range pack enough punch to knock electrons off chlorophyll molecules
and set the electron transport reactions of photosynthesis in motion, which produce NADPH, the reducing power, and an electrochemical potential that drives the synthesis of ATP. The energy rich molecules formed
during the light reactions are expended in the carbon fixation reactions of
photosynthesis, which convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Complex life
on earth is the exploit of this remarkable chemical reaction.
abundant for photosynthesis, sunlight however varies profoundly in its quality
and quantity on a timescale of seconds to seasons. This heterogeneity in the
supply of light poses particular challenges for the photosynthetic machinery. Our
laboratory studies the genetic and molecular control mechanisms plants and
algae employ, under some conditions, to make use of every photon that is available
for photosynthesis, whilst in others to protect the photosynthetic machinery
from excess light. Of particular interest is the function and evolution of an
ancient gene regulatory circuit known as the chloroplast two-component system. In
plants and green algae, the chloroplast two-component system has been rewired
in evolution to assume novel light acclimation and signaling properties. A complete
understanding of modified and canonical chloroplast two-component systems will
reveal the crucial link between photosynthesis, gene expression, and the biogenesis of electron transport complexes.
plants and green algae, a pair of conserved serine/threonine protein kinases
phosphorylate photosystem II (PS II), the water-splitting photosystem of oxygenic
photosynthesis, in a light quality and quantity-dependent manner. One substrate
of PS II protein kinases is Light Harvesting Complex II (LHC II), the most
prolific light harvesting antenna protein on earth. LHC II phosphorylation redistributes
absorbed excitation energy between the two photosystems through a remarkable
light quality acclimatory response known as state transitions. The phosphorylation
of PS II core proteins facilitates the turnover of damaged photosystems through
PS II repair cycle, one of the most efficient protein repair mechanism found in
nature. A major goal of our laboratory is to understand the precise regulatory
and functional mechanisms by which PS II protein kinase drive state transitions
and PS II repair cycle. We use the model higher plant Arabidopsis
thaliana and the model diatom Phaeodactylum
tricornutum as experimental systems, employing biochemical, biophysical, and functional genomics tools.

"Lousy & wormy tales: Drivers of population genetic divergence in host-parasite co-evolution"
Wednesday, February 13, 2019, 4:00 P.M.
Charles G. Miller Auditorium
B102 CLSLAbstract:
Host specificity provides means to limit genetic exchange between populations of parasites and it is often an a priori assumption in the speciation of parasites. However, is that always so? Deeper knowledge of all processes (adaptive and stochastic) underlying population diversification is needed to fully understand the role of host specificity in parasitic evolution. The talk aims to reveal the drivers of population genetic diversification using rodent lice and fish tapeworms as ecological models.Coffee and cookies will be served in the atrium outside the auditorium beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Waters to Mnuchin: I Expect You To Be Forthcoming With This Committee
Washington, DC, April 9, 2019
Today, at a full Committee hearing with U.S. Department of the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin entitled, "The Annual Testimony of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the International Financial System," Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, gave the following opening statement:
Today, this Committee convenes for a hearing to receive the annual testimony of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the International Financial System.
I'd like to start by talking about the International Development Association, or IDA, which is the arm of the World Bank that provides grants and highly concessional loans to the world's poorest countries. I'm concerned that IDA, through its new Private Sector Window (PSW), today is transferring $2.5 billion to the World Bank's private-sector investment arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and is subsidizing private firms selected without competition on the basis of unsolicited proposals. The PSW is likely to prioritize financial returns over positive development impacts, which will be difficult to monitor. The PSW also stands in conflict with the World Bank's own principles that call for subsidies to be justified, transparent, competitively based, focused on impact, and guarded against rent-seeking opportunities.

Competitive Photogrammetry Software
PhotoModeler History
PhotoModeler has a long history as a leading close-range photogrammetric tool worldwide. PhotoModeler introduced the concept of an accessible, commercial desktop close-range photogrammetry product to the world in 1993 and has been a leader in technology and support since.
The Competition
There has been a recent surge in photogrammetry interest with many new vendors entering and leaving the marketplace starting around 2005. Some well known photogrammetry tools are Pix4D, Agisoft PhotoScan, Capturing Reality, DroneDeploy, etc. At Eos we welcome the competition! It pushes us to try to find even greater benefits for our customers. We've been around a long time and understand real customer needs and we will continue to do that in the coming years. Our PhotoModeler product is very comparable to many of the offerings out there and at a reasonable price.
Photogrammetry was traditionally used for map making (and still is) but there are many applications now for desktop photogrammetry (alphabetical): accident reconstruction, archaeology, architecture, biology, engineering, film, gaming and animation, forensics, geology, mining & aggregates, research, surveying, and uav/drone.
New Drone/UAV Software
While PhotoModeler has been around for over 24 years, we have a new offering for drone/uav photogrammetry. This new software is called PhotoModeler UAS – it is based on our long history of know how combined with modern techniques that are suited to UAV and drone projects. The original Standard and Scanner products remain to support all the other interesting application areas that are not drone related.
How to Compare
With all the photogrammetry software options available today, we suggest you compare them via a demo or trial, and by talking to their sales teams. To talk to our sales team please email email@example.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Additionally, visit the links in the menus above and / or review our Resources page and FAQ.

I shopped Barney's this week looking for something to wear to my daughter's 21st birthday party in Charlottesville, Virginia and found these great picks. I love the crispness of the white and black and think it looks fresh after this long cold winter. The party is outside at a restaurant called Maya and I think the Parker Chain Link-Print Tunic Dress will be perfect no matter the weather.
Chloé Diamond Lace Inset Tunic Dress $995 / Ohne Titel Fit & Flare Bold-Stripe Dress $510 / Parker Chain Link-Print Tunic Dress $275 / A.L.C. Flower Silhouette-Print Kennelly Tank $245 / Loeffler Randall Reina $295 / Saint Laurent Mini Betty Bag $1550 / Huishan Zhang Crystal-Embellished Skirt $1935
Happy Birthday Sophie!
Hilary's Charlottesville Picks
While in Virginia I like to refer to The Scout Guide, a guide that originated in Happy Birthday Sophie!. It highlights all of the best of local businesses and it always leads me to great finds whatever city I am in.
I also enjoy re-visiting the spots that my daughter Sophie has found while at UVA. For example I cannot miss the Take it Away Sandwich Shop. There is something about their bread and secret special sauce that makes each sandwich delicious! And while you are there, just down the street is a very cute clothing store called Duo Boutique. Fun, affordable clothing. Another great store is Eloise, a bit more high end and hip." For wonderful antiques and accessories I go to And George, a beautiful shop where you are bound to find something you can't live without.
I usually stay at the Boar's Head Inn when in Charlottesville and also love Keswick Hall but it is a bit farther away. Dinner is always great at C & O, be sure to check out the downstairs bar and I also like Commonwealth and The Local. But most of all it is about spending time with my now oh so grown-up daughter, Sophie.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you require?
I am more than happy to accommodate for last minute bookings but I may require at least an hour notice to allow me to get ready and travel to you. I love to take advance bookings to allow me to organise my schedule but would prefer to keep these to a maximum of one or two weeks in advance.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash is my preferred form of payment. I also accept MasterCard and Visa via "Beem It" (a discrete and secure app downloadable through the App Store). I may also accept direct deposits (in front of me) for friends I know. I prefer to sort this out quickly at the start of the booking so we don't need to interrupt the fun later. Please leave the agreed upon amount within sight or directly to me at the commencement of booking.
Do you see couples?
I love to see couples! Please add on a fee of $150 for the first hour if you would like to see me as a couple. Let me know more about you two and what your expectations are in order for me to provide you with a truly unforgettable experience.
NB My rate will remain the same if the lady joining is another escort. Please provide me with her profile and/or number if this is the case.
Are you truly bisexual?
Yes, of course!! I love the female form and thoroughly enjoy the endless possibilities available when including a third lover to our time together ;)
Can you send me a selfie to prove you're real?
I do not send selfies. My photos are real, up-to-date (taken in August 2019) and are a true reflection of myself. They have been verified on various websites and I have an active Twitter account (@AlinaDWood) on which I post day-to-day selfies.
I can't tell what your face looks like. How do I know you're not ugly?
Please do not ask me for a face selfie! I will find it extremely rude and assume you're someone that does not value privacy or discretion as I do. Due to my personal circumstances, this is not an option for me and I value my own privacy over any amount of money. To give you an idea of my profile- I have a very classical face like a porcelain doll with big, beautiful, inviting eyes (my best feature), high cheekbones, and soft lips.
Do you require a deposit?
Under most circumstances the answer is no. However, for longer bookings (over 4 hours), or those in which I may have to travel a significant distance (national/international FMTY bookings) I may require a deposit and/or advance for flights and accommodation. This will be organised electronically where permitting. Please contact me for further information.
Are your rates negotiable?
Absolutely not! My rates are fair and a good reflection of the experience I provide. For longer bookings over a day, I'm happy to discuss an arrangement that we're both happy with..
Are you able to travel to me?
I'm happy to include the travel fee within the inner suburbs and CBD of Melbourne. Outside this perimeter I will also require an extra fee for taxi and/or deposit as well.
I love to travel, especially overseas! If you'd like to arrange a fly-me-to-you booking (nationally or internationally) I'm happy to arrange a package that will suit your needs. Flights and accommodation must both be paid for by you in advance. Please contact me for further information, I'm the ultimate holiday planner ;)
What do you expect from me?
I love a gentleman who respects my boundaries. This is in regards to my services, my time, and my personal life. I value discretion and privacy and would expect the same from you. I also love a clean and hygienic man so please ensure that you have showered and groomed appropriately prior to our booking.
Do you cater for fetishes or fantasies?
I would not describe myself as a true kink or BDSM provider. I am open-minded and love to explore sexually so let me know what it is you have in mind and I will let you know if it something I can cater for.

Water that could have supported thirsty crops in the Yakima Basin this summer slipped away during the rainy winter, running downstream since there was no more room in the region's reservoirs to catch it.
Instead, the Yakima Basin's agricultural economy is looking at drought losses the state has estimated as high as a billion dollars. The problem is that building additional water storage has a steep price tag, too.

Late this spring, a new cafe will open on Fairview Ave. near Sockeye Brewing.
Beyond the usual fare of sandwiches, coffee and beer and wine, Room and Boards Cafe will offer up something more.
Board games. Five-hundred board games.
"I've always wanted to open a coffee shop," Room and Boards co-owner Scott Pepper said. Pepper and his wife Clara are working to get the business off the ground. Inspiration came from similar concepts in Seattle, Portland and California.
"I've only been living here about three years. I'm a big board game person and always have been. There are so many game shops and a large gaming community I was surprised there wasn't one."
So Scott & Clara will open one – set to open June 1st. Folks will be able to come in, kick back and enjoy any one of the 500 games available. The cost to rent the game for in-store use will be $5, and staff will be trained to walk them through how to play if it's something new to them.
Something for everyone
"The range of games is just about everything," Scott said. "Some that cater to hardcore gamers, but also entry-level games: Monopoly, Life, Chutes and Ladders, Connect Four, card games, dice games et cetera."
[Chess-themed cafe headed for Boise mall]
Scott has a background in IT and is working to find a game finder on the cafe's website.
"People can say 'I'm with my daughter, I have about a half hour – I like dice, I like animals' and it will match them to a game. Whatever skill level you have, there will be something you can play."
They hope to make it a family-friendly place where anyone can come and spend some time.
"We want to make it as open and inclusive as possible. I'm a really big fan of the third place – it's not your home or your office."

CONTENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SportsArt
I was really looking forward to seeing what was coming from all of the manufacturers regarding user interface on cardio equipment heading into the IHRSA conference back in March.
The industry has been focusing hard on user interface in the past few years so this show was a good litmus test. As I walked the floor and saw what other companies had to offer, it was obvious why the mainstream technology industry thinks fitness equipment has some of the worst user interfaces in the world.
State of the Industry for User Interface
It is easier to point out what was done right over what was wrong on most of the equipment at IHRSA, purely because so much of it was wrong. These interfaces have evolved into what is best described as a "dog's lunch"— a bunch of random features stuck onto a design from the 1990s with all the care and craftsmanship of a Ford Pinto.
Who really wants to update their Facebook status from a treadmill? I'm sure a few people do, but wasn't it really just added so there would be another check box filled in on the feature list? And do we really need another solitaire game? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
But I digress. Let's talk about what can be done right:
1. Simplicity. One of the most challenging parts of designing an interface for use in a club is keeping things simple. It needs to have all the advanced functionality that people expect these days, such as virtual running videos and media integration. At the same time, someone who has never seen the device has to be able to walk up to it and start using it immediately.
Some of interfaces solve this better than others. Unfortunately, the simpler interfaces are found on the simpler devices. It is probably lack of features that give those devices ease of use, not superior design.
2. Education. When someone approaches a device for the first time and immediately starts a manual workout, is that person given any hints that more is available? Does the device help the person discover additional functionality while in use? Does the device take that time to educate the person more about the features when the workout is finished?
Advanced functionality is not used many times simply because a person does not know it exists, or does not understand the benefit. Expecting the person to watch a video or read the manual is unrealistic. You need to understand how the person uses the device and then integrate education into its use.
3. Interaction. Just because the device has some snazzy new touchscreen does not mean all of the user's interactions should happen via the screen. Although a touchscreen is great at a walking speed, try jogging or running and see how frustrating these screens can become. This goes back to user experience, not user interface.
The industry has been experimenting with various ideas in this area: paddles, knobs and levers for changing speed and incline, physical keys for quick speeds, etc. By combining the best of both worlds, you can maintain a clean look and feel on the device but still carry forward the excellent user experience that physical controls can yield — especially when running.
What's Next?
Now that the industry has finally broken free of the shackles of LEDs, it's time to acknowledge there is no technical reason user interfaces on these devices cannot be just as cutting edge and innovative as the best ones out there. It means looking outside the industry for design cues and using the general design insights that are made on other kinds of devices. Ultimately, it means figuring out how they apply this to cardio equipment.
Mark Thompson, fitness futurist at SportsArt, is an insanely focused technologist who has applied innovative technologies to a myriad of industries. He has imagined possibilities from defense to video games; investment to internet infrastructure. His leading-edge ventures include, but are not limited to: commercial software development, embedded systems, audio process and real-time applications. His next tech endeavor is with SportsArt, redefining the way the industry looks at user interface. SportsArt focuses on eco-innovation, unique design and green manufacturing excellence. It is the only fitness equipment manufacturer able to harness human energy and convert it into utility-grade electricity. For more information, visit GoSportsArt.com.

The Democratic-led House Oversight Committee on Wednesday approved the subpoena after a contentious hearing over whether Conway broke the law when she talked politics during media appearances.
"The American people demand that our public officials follow the law and be held accountable for their actions," Oversight panel Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said. "Through this resolution, the committee demands answers and requires Ms. Conway to provide those answers under oath."
The vote could lead to a contempt of Congress citation if Conway refuses to appear.
Conway serves as counselor to President Trump and is a frequent guest on television shows, where she advocates for the president's agenda and takes jabs at his critics, namely Democrats and their agenda.

Voting Rights
Voting is more than a civic duty — it's a vital part of a democratic society. Voting laws or practices that thwart an individual's ability to vote weaken our democracy. Assaults on the right to vote are increasing across the country and are likely to threaten Minnesota. The ACLU of Minnesota works to protect your right to vote. We do this by protecting the victories made since the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which helped protect the political participation of racial and language minorities in our national dialogue.
We must resist any attempts to restrict voter registration, early voting, same-day registration, and access to the polls. Moreover, any redistricting that follows the 2020 census must be conducted fairly and transparently. Even today, about 1.5 percent of voting-age Minnesotans are deprived of their right to vote because of their criminal records. Although nearly all prisoners re-enter our communities, we deprive them of the ability to participate in our democracy, increasing their alienation from their neighbors and their communities. In addition, restrictions on the right to vote do not affect all citizens equally, but rather result in undue and inequitable burdens on historically marginalized people and communities.

Plans for 300 new homes in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park designed by Studio Egret West, Piercy & Company and Astudio have been given the green light
Approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), the 300-home scheme marks the first phase of wider proposals to create two neighbourhoods, East Wick and Sweetwater, on the east London park.
Studio Egret West and Sheppard Robson are masterplanning the overall scheme for 1,500 homes, which also includes 10,000m² of office space, 7,200m² of retail as well as buildings by Stirling Prize-winning Alison Brooks Architects and ShedKM.
Backed by Places for People and Balfour Beatty Investments, the first-stage development also includes a 'neighbourhood centre' retail and office space.
The development will sit to the east of Hawkins\Brown's £100 million Here East overhaul of the former Olympic media complex and south of Make's Copper Box indoor sports arena.
Andrew Atkins, development director for the East Wick and Sweetwater projects, said: 'We are working with the local community, the London Legacy Development Corporation and the London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets to make sure we get the right mix of affordable homes, rented homes and open-market sale homes, as well as providing space to create jobs, learning and places for the community to enjoy. We will deliver a unique place, inspired by the best of London, where people want to live, and that is a key part of building neighbourhoods at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
We have assembled a brilliant design team
'We have assembled a brilliant design team who are ensuring that we have the highest standards of design and sustainability. We will continue working with local residents and neighbouring communities to ensure we make a place with the best contribution to an area with such a rich history.'
In 2015, the six-strong team won the scheme ahead of submissions from developer Grainger in collaboration with Assael and Mae and a joint bid by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Maccreanor Lavington and S333 with Mace, Argent, and Peabody.
Work on the first phase is set to start on site later this year, with a completion date scheduled for 2019.
Make, PRP, Karakusevic Carson, Muf and Nord were chosen to build the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park's first 800-home neighbourhood at Chobham Manor two years ago.

Four of the 23 Democratic presidential hopefuls did not participate in the Washington Post's new survey on climate policy, "but Joe Biden remains the biggest enigma of them all," according to an analysis the newspaper published Monday as activists vowed to increase pressure on Biden to back bold plans to combat the global crisis.
"We're going to turn up the heat on Biden and all the candidates throughout the summer."
—Victoria Fernandez, Sunrise Movement
"The former vice president has cast himself as an ardent environmentalist... But his campaign has not yet announced any concrete energy proposals," the Post's Dino Grandoni, who contributed to the survey report, wrote Monday.
Although Biden is the front-runner based on recent polling, he has kept a low profile compared with his competitors.
Juliet Eilperin, another journalist who contributed to the Post's report, tweeted Monday afternoon that Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Andrew Yang "didn't bother to respond" to the survey, initially published Friday and repeatedly updated with responses from campaigns since then.
The newspaper asked candidates nine questions:
- Do you support the Green New Deal resolution?
- Should we rejoin the Paris agreement?
- Do you support building more nuclear power plants?
- Would you support setting a price on carbon, such as with a carbon tax or cap-and-trade?
- Would you ban fracking?
- Would you ban fossil fuel exports?
- Would you end leasing for fossil fuel extraction on federal lands?
- Would you eliminate fossil fuel subsidies?
- Are you doing something about your campaign's carbon footprint?
The Post's reporters grouped the candidates by similar positions after considering not only their campaign's responses but also "legislative records, action taken in an executive role, and other public comments, such as policy discussion on campaign websites, social media posts, interviews, town halls, and other news reports."
Though four candidates did not respond, Biden is the only one who appears in the "unclear/no response" column for all nine questions.
Joe Biden bats an impressive 1.000 when it comes to not answering WaPo's questions about climate change. He's 9 for 9 for "unclear/no response." https://t.co/iYDPsPewBz

Biden is the only candidate in the "unclear/no response" column for the questions about supporting the Green New Deal resolution—introduced by Democrats in Congress earlier this year—and rejoining the Paris agreement, which was negotiated while he served as vice president in the Obama administration.
While every other country on Earth has backed the landmark climate accord since it was finalized in late 2015, President Donald Trump vowed two years ago to withdraw the United States as soon as he can.
Noting the survey results on Twitter Monday, the youth-led Sunrise Movement emphasized Biden's lack of position on the Green New Deal resolution—for which the group vocally advocates—and also pointed out that Biden is "the only major candidate who hasn't taken the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge."
The supposed Democratic Presidential front-runner is the ONLY candidate who hasn't taken a position on the #GreenNewDeal.
AND he's the only major candidate who hasn't taken the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge.
Never Miss a Beat.

Tell @JoeBiden to do the right thing: https://t.co/oA2SVvcof6 pic.twitter.com/ScQKAQJgsU
— Sunrise Movement (@sunrisemvmt) June 3, 2019
"We're going to turn up the heat on Biden and all the candidates throughout the summer, but he's likely to release his plan this week or next," the Sunrise Movement's Victoria Fernandez wrote in an email to the group's supporters Monday, requesting signatures for a petition calling on Biden to back the Green New Deal and sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge.
The group's call for the public to pressure Biden "to do the right thing" comes after Reuters reported last month that Biden's campaign is crafting "a middle ground approach" to the human-caused global climate emergency.
Following the Reuters report, Biden said at an event in New Hampshire, "There's been nothing middle of the road about my record dealing with the environment," Grandoni noted in his analysis Monday. However, the candidate has not yet put out any climate policies.
Other candidates, meanwhile, have drawn attention to Biden's reported plans. At the California Democratic Convention over the weekend—which Biden did not attend—Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declared, "We have got to make it clear that when the future of the planet is at stake, there is no 'middle ground.'" After the senator's remarks, Common Dreams reported, the Twitter hashtag #NoMiddleGround went viral on Sunday.
Sanders's speech came after the senator ranked highest of the Democratic presidential candidates who are in the top six in national polls for a climate policy scorecard released by Greenpeace Thursday. Biden, meanwhile, ranked at the bottom, after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.); former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke; South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg; and Harris.
While the Post's survey elicited criticism of Biden, the group Food & Water Action highlighted a positive takeaway: 10 candidates support a ban on fracking, a process also known as hydraulic fracturing that involves injecting water and chemicals into the ground to access natural gas.
Mitch Jones of Food & Water Action said in a statement, "given that most Americans oppose fracking, for good reason, it's not surprising that more and more presidential candidates are coming to the prudent conclusion that fracking simply must be banned."
"Frontline communities across the country are dealing every day with the human health and environmental risks that fracking inherently brings," Jones added. "Fracking poisons air and water, and makes people sick. Americans know it, and finally Democratic candidates are beginning to get the picture."
Jones called on the 10 candidates who claimed in the Post survey to support a ban "to talk in specific detail about exactly what they would do to halt fracking as soon as they take office," and said that those who haven't yet stated their opposition to the fracking "need to pull their heads out of the sand, and get on board with the will of most Americans."

From supranational corporations to local companies, online stores across Europe have plenty of options when it comes to shipping their goods abroad. But having plenty of choices does not always mean they are all of good quality, does it? Since choosing your logistics partner can make or break your business, we've decided to take a look at what types of shipping options you have and what factors to consider before you seal the deal.
"Together with setting up a local refund address and national customer care, the right type of logistics for your product, for your customers and for your field always increase your chances to succeed in a new country," marketplace specialist Marián Kováčik says. Consulting for more than 50 businesses before and during his expansion abroad, he is more than aware of what failures in logistics can do to a business. It can be anything from minor problems such as packaging (and needing to re-package the next time you send in parcels) to bigger issues like Amazon disadvantaging your seller's account due to late arrivals and dissatisfied clients.
"That would be my number one piece of advice to anyone even thinking of expanding," COO of Amispol Andrea Hajkova emphasizes. "Whichever channels you plan to use to sell abroad – we chose Amazon via EXPANDO – make sure you pick a carrier with plenty of experience with that particular model. Amazon FBA has a rather sophisticated system of logistics, tight schedules and strict rules. Late arrivals to warehouses can cost you. One of our drivers was made to wait for a day with a truck full of produce only because the driver (or his company) didn't book the unloading. Drivers have to speak English and, when shipping to or through Germany, also German. We opted for a local Austrian company and everything has been running smoothly since then." Or as smoothly as possible, as there is always potential for improvement in business, right?
Cheat sheet for starting with logistics
Before expanding abroad:
- Estimate shipping costs by taking into account package size, package weight, origin country, destination country and shipping volume.
- Set a shipping time in terms of how many days it will take from receiving the order to delivering the goods to your customer's doorstep. Research the market and your competitors. What do they offer and how satisfied are customers with it? Are there obstacles? What are they? Is your shipping time assumption realistic? If not, where do you need to compromise – are you willing to pay more for your packages to be delivered the way you've promised? Or would you rather re-adjust your shipping strategy? Remember, no answer is right or wrong here, as long as you are clear on what you want.
- Refund policy. "How would you gather items your customers claim to want to replace or return for a different size? Consider that to be one of the first steps, as refunds can increase the cost of any territorial expansion. Especially when you work in fashion," JAPO Transport's Post & Parcel Business Development Manager Zdenek Jirasek suggests. Where would you store these products? Is office space enough or do you need warehouse space? How much would the rent be? How often do you want your carrier to empty these stores? Do they offer storage space themselves? Make sure you know the answers.
"Shipping research should be an integral part of overall market research before entering a certain market, be it a certain country or Amazon marketplace. Do not underestimate choosing a carrier."
When choosing a carrier:
- How fast is the company? How many days does it take for them to deliver to my customers in a new country?
- Where does the company deliver? Does it cover the whole country, including remote areas or islands?
- What is their package policy? How do they calculate size and proportion? How do they derive the final cost?
- Does the cost increase, decrease or stay the same as I ship more? What are the factors influencing the price and which model works best for me?
- How much is premium shipping?
- What guarantee can I get? Who is my contact person? Is it easy to reach them?
- Is it a national company? Is it a supranational company? Or something in between? And what's the difference, anyway? Whom should I opt for?
Global or national? It depends on the selling strategy
So you have tons of questions to ask potential carriers. Now what? "Shipping research should be an integral part of overall market research before entering a certain market, be it a certain country or Amazon marketplace. Do not underestimate choosing a carrier," Kovacik repeats. Gather the evidence and start forming your shipping strategy. You can opt for a global service such as FedEx, GLS, DPD, TNT or others. They usually offer good coverage and complex services including packaging and so on to multiple countries, so you can manage the whole of Europe from one point.
Hey, Mr. (French) postman!
You can also partner up with local carriers when your market research shows the target group responds better to national services. "If you have a localized online store in French and wish to sell to France, it only makes sense to partner up with La Poste. It will differentiate you from your competitors sending products via a company like DHL and bring you closer to the target audience," Jirasek of JAPO Transport says. According to JAPO Transport's data, the French have very specific shopping customs and generally prefer to stick to them. "It is common for French postmen to possess keys to postboxes in their region, for example, so they can deliver packages whether or not you are at home," Jirasek reveals, stating that in France, people still like and value their postmen. "La Poste – Colissimo covers 75% of the parcel market. By using their services, you immediately increase your chances of success, as you are now seen as an insider who knows the market, as opposed to an outsider from the East."
As for another example, in Denmark, you can show local knowledge by sending your goods to pick-up places, as 60% of Danish people prefer delivery to collection points. Germans, according to JAPO Transport, are quite flexible when it comes to delivery time (unlike Czechs who expect next day delivery), but require refunds for free. And the list goes on.
Looking for a way to sell on marketplaces made easy? A growing number of brands use Amazon listing tools such as EXPANDO app (one month free trial).
Shipping integrators: Your local way in?
Local almost always wins with the locals, so if you are a small to middle-sized business, this might just be the way for you. There is, however, one important detail to consider: in order to partner up with the national post office, you need to be able to send a certain volume of packages. And as not all online businesses are ready to send 100 items daily all the way to France (or Denmark or Romania), there is a middle road you could take.
Shipping integrators, be it independent companies or sub-companies within global carriers, often link stable infrastructure with access via local posts. But before you drop everything for a celebratory glass of champagne and cheer hurray!, do your research. A great fit for some might equal an insufficient solution for others. Everything really does come down to your shipping strategy. "Some can benefit from having one carrier for all of their European deliveries. It saves them time and everything is unified. Others go country to country, linking their products to some of the strongest B2C carriers there. Do your research and pick yours. Try and re-adjust," Zdenek Jirasek sums up.
As you can see, logistics is a world of its own, and choosing the right partner for distribution can pretty much make or break your business. We are not saying this to scare you off, but more for you to realize that with the right set of questions, you can lead your expanding business in the right direction. Everyone complains about logistics, making it sounds like there are always going to be problems with shipping and that it's normal to struggle and fail no matter which road you take. We know from experience that failure can occur, but with the right kind of setup, your business can actually flourish.

On Feb. 14, 2015, Victoria Heard got together with her longtime childhood friend, James Enright, for an anti-Valentine's Day hangout.
The pair hadn't seen each other for a while, and, as they were getting ready to head out the door, he stopped her.
"He grabbed me by my arms," Heard said, "and he told me how much I mean to him and how much our friendship means to him and how much he loves me – and I blew him off. I was like, 'Yeah, I know James. I love you too. We gotta go. Let's go.'"
Less than an hour later, Enright would be lying unconscious outside the Edmonds SkyTrain station with Heard's hands on his chest trying in vain to stop the blood gushing from a single stab wound to his heart.
'The long sentence'
Enright, 27, was stabbed after he jumped out of his car to stop a drunken, shirtless rugby player from punching Victoria, 27, repeatedly through her car window after she'd videoed him getting into an altercation with some other people near the station.
That rugby player, Taitusi Vikilani, an 18-year-old Burnaby Central Secondary School student, and Jesse Sellam, a 22-year-old he'd met at a house party that night, were eventually convicted of manslaughter in Enright's stabbing death.
Sellam, the stabber, was charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail.
Vikilani was given a six-month sentence and three years' probation.
Both are now free men.
Enright's family and friends have never gotten over the sentences.
"We're the ones who got the long sentence here … I'm still taking counselling. Some days are really bad," Enright's mom, Barbara Stevenson, told the NOW.
In the media coverage of the stabbing and court case, the family felt Enright and his death were overshadowed by a focus on the perpetrators, especially Vikilani's promise as an up-and-coming national rugby star.
That's one reason Enright's friends and family were on board when they were approached about the possibility of a TV show telling the story of his stabbing and the homicide investigation that followed.
"We felt it was an opportunity to let people know what really went on, other than the little bits that you get in the news," Stevenson said.
See No Evil
See No Evil is a TV series about how real crimes are solved using security camera video.
In Episode 16 of Season 5, titled The Man in the Red Jacket, the show details how the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team closes in on Vikilani and Sellam using footage from a camera outside the Edmonds SkyTrain station, a camera inside a train before it arrived at the Edmonds station, Heard's cellphone and a camera in the elevator of an apartment building Sellam hid out in after he killed Enright.
The footage not only helped investigators zero in on Vikilani and Sellam, it also debunked lies the two initially told about Enright having been the aggressor.
The 42-minute episode aired on the Investigation Discovery Channel in the U.S. last month but isn't yet available in Canada.
It features interviews with Sgt. Jason Gelderman, IHIT's lead investigator in the case, and Sgt. James DeRusha, another officer who was closely involved, as well as Enright's mother, stepfather and one of his sisters.
Dramatic re-enactments are woven into the episode as well as actual news footage of first responders performing CPR on Enright outside the SkyTrain station.
Heard was out of town in January when the filmmakers were in Vancouver for the interviews.
Speaking with the NOW, she hadn't yet watched an unauthorized copy of the episode posted on YouTube.
"There's part of me that's a little scared to watch it as to what's going to come up for me," she said.
The event itself put her into a mental-health tailspin from which she is still recovering, she said.
For Stevenson, as hard as it was to relive the horror of her son's death, the TV show did a good job capturing the kind of man he was.
"He was just that kind of man that would stand up for the underdog or anyone that was getting hurt," she said.
Tami Powers, Enright's sister, agrees.
"You know how families go – he was the one family member that everybody loved," she said.
Telling their story
The Man in the Red Jacket is actually the second time the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has worked with the makers of See No Evil to dramatize one of its investigations.
Episode 16 of Season 4 features the story behind the September 2011 murder of 19-year-old Surrey SFU student Maple Batalia by her ex-boyfriend Gurjinder Dhaliwal.
Media spokesperson Cpl. Frank Jang said it's not uncommon for IHIT to get requests from production companies.
"We could really make a TV show out of every single IHIT investigation," he said. "We really could because each one has its own story."
The most important criteria, however, is whether the victim's family is on board.
"We don't do anything without the family's consent," Jang said.
The cases also have to have gone through the court process, including any appeal periods.
Then it's a matter of clearing everything with the top layers of the RCMP's senior management and the force's intellectual property office.
Jang said The Man in the Red Jacket is "quite realistic" inasmuch as it features interviews with two officers who were actually at the centre of the case – but no homicide is ever solved by only two detectives, he said.
"It takes really an army of investigators that go out, gather the evidence, canvas for video, for witnesses," he said. "A TV show in a span of one hour, sometimes you need the one or two investigators to tell the story, but that's certainly not reflective of the resources that went into solving the case."
Jang said he knew well all that was involved in the Enright investigation, but seeing it re-enacted in the episode drove home one main theme.
"It was a tragic case, no doubt," Jang said. "It was really senseless, and I'm sure, for everybody's sake, if they could rewind time, go back in time, they would."

Pretty useful response.
Jmed I have it but I have no idea how I got it. I've been running SS 4.9 since the day it got released, and 4.95 kept blanking out after every bootup. Unless it was an app that needed updating that showed up in the notification pulldown, and just updated on it's own? That's the only thing I can think of, and if that didn't happen then I have no idea. Someone on here I'm sure has the apk for it though.

The Tory activist behind a dirty tricks campaign against his fellow party members has told activists to "be kind to each other" in a new blog post written for the ConservativeHome website.
Paul Abbott, the former chief of staff to Wikipedia conspiracy-pusher Grant Shapps MP has written to his fellow activists urging them to do the best for the Conservative Party – a stark difference to those who campaign in other political parties for the best for their country.
Abbott, who is the chief executive of the pro-immigration Conservative Way Forward group, and as associate director at the lobbying firm Portland Communications is perhaps best known in right wing circles for claiming that he would have been in the Labour Party were it not for him getting a job with the MP for Harlow Robert Halfon, who recently said that he wanted to rename the Conservative Party the 'Workers Party'.
He wrote today:
Yes, we have a right to expect that our campaign structures should work well, and should make our lives easier. But, we also have a responsibility to our Party. Activism is a two-way street. We have to uphold our end of the bargain:
- We should show up, when needed.
- We should join in.
- We should donate.
- We should be kind to each other.
One commenter aptly responded: "Yes – Absolutely. One hears too many depressing stories about elections within the Party which are stitch-ups where one side has smeared the other and the whole thing appears like a nest of vipers. By all means, go all out to win things – but win fairly and squarely if you can; not meanly."
But Abbott is perhaps best noted for his activism against more right wing members of the Conservative Party. He is also rumoured to be a supporter of U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Abbott, according to sources inside the Conservative Party, has been responsible for attacks on the right-wing Bow Group. He is believed to have used the term "drive-by shooting" on occasion, to refer to how he would like to treat activists from the party's right wing. He has also documented some of his political experiences in poems.
The shift from Conservative Party activists welcoming the latest, astronomical immigration figures into the United Kingdom, is yet another indication that the mainstream of the Conservative Party has abandoned the immigration debate.

Is your writer's soul inspired by natural beauty? Then this is a place to come for peace, beauty and inspiration, where you can write your book, find new ideas and refresh your soul. June is the best time to see the famous wildflower meadows of Transylvania, as you can see here. What scenes do these images conjure up in your head? Which characters would be doing what here? Does this natural beauty make you think of romance, or villainy? What might these scenes of tranquil beauty be hiding?

A Valentine to Brasov
Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is hard to ignore.
So use it. Use everything – the romance, the excitement, the dread, the loneliness, the togetherness or isolation… all those powerful feelings and how they make us behave. Fiction heaven.
In sixty seconds, scribble down half a dozen story ideas revolving around 14th February. [I'll do my list in a minute, and post it later.]
How easy was that?
Did you make the one-idea-every-ten-seconds challenge? I'd love to see your list if you'd post it as a comment…
If your brain froze and you couldn't think of a single idea, then perhaps mid-February is the ideal time for you to spend a day unlocking your ideas factory so you never have a creative shortage again.
Come to the Where do you get your ideas? workshop in Brasov (Romania) and let those storytelling juices flow.
It's the day to seduce your imagination. Give in to your creative urges. Make love to your Muse. Pull up those fictional wallflowers and plant red roses. Bare your breast to Cupid's arrow and fall in love with your own imagination.
Whether you yearn to write passion-fuelled crime, zingy love stories, gothic romances, out-of-this-world fantasy, medieval bodice-rippers or heart-stopping horror, this is where you'll discover the key to creating your best-selling idea.
Book now! Start your writer's heart racing… make this your year.
Think about this… Imagine that!
Are you anxious about not having much imagination?
Do you worry?
Do you daydream?
Do you plan holidays?
Do you plan ahead for the weekend?
If you've said yes to any of those questions, you have a perfectly good imagination. In fact, if you're human and reading this, you have a perfectly good imagination. Without it, you couldn't worry, think about the future, daydream, write a shopping list, plan a holiday, or decide what to have for supper. Let alone run a household or fall in love or fantasise or buy Christmas presents…
You may not realise it, but you have to imagine everything you want to do before you do it. Think about it. First the idea, then the reality.
Are you aware that you've been trained to think? And that thinking is different to imagining?
The education process – a dozen years at school, at least – is all geared to teaching us to think. To analyse, to be logical, to manage, organise, filter, file, memorise… We are not taught to be inventors or innovators; original thinking is discouraged. Art lessons are about technique and art history; English lessons are about structure and syntax and organizing facts and subtext and other writers' stuff.
School is designed to make us focus on the path to employment, vocation, career. We have to think about getting a proper job as soon as we get to high school. Before we even hit puberty, we have to stop daydreaming and playing, and be serious.
And what happens to our imagination? You tell me.
So… the good news is that your imagination is there, in full working order.
The bad news is that with nothing else to do, it's bubbling away, concocting nightmares and waking you up at 3am in a muck sweat, keeping you awake, worrying.
The better news is that you can use all that imaginative power to create beauty and delight in whatever way you choose.
The best news is that you can learn how to grab hold of your imagination and go for a wild ride…and you can learn how in one single day. Actually you'll learn the big secret in less than 10 minutes. The rest of the day will show you just how amazing your imagination is, and reinforcing the good news.
Where? How? At the Where do you get your ideas one-day workshop – see dates and venues here.
No hard work. No experience needed. And here's the best bit: No thinking...
I guarantee you will have a great time. I guarantee you will succeed. I guarantee you will go home with new characters and new stories. I guarantee you will have more confidence in your storytelling. I guarantee that you'll be surprised and delighted with what your imagination produces.
Now… I dare you to have a go. I dare you to make the breakthrough and find the story that needs writing. Email me today and ask any questions you have. Sign up today and commit to becoming a storyteller: on the page, on the stage, on the screen.
Go on… I dare you.

The devil is very definitely in the detail
Crime writers and gritty romance writers… have a look at this story from the BBC website today. It just shows how small an act can provoke vicious murder.
An angry man, a control freak, with a knife in his hand. A woman's petty act of annoyance. Now she's dead and he's doing life.
Find the story here, and let your imagination fill in the back story, the investigation and whatever else leaps to your writer's mind.
… and all that jazz, from Senny Dreadful
Jennifer Williams, on her blog Senny Dreadful, describes her experience of generating ideas:
"Supposedly one of the most exasperating questions a writer can get is "Where do you get your ideas?" Presumably this is because we're not allowed to answer with: "My grandfather bequeathed to me an ancient and magical book, and within these goblin-encrusted pages new ideas breed like rutting succubae…" or "I stole them off my mate". I have to admit I can't recall ever having been asked (although I do occasionally get: "You enjoy that, do you?" and "Why, Jennifer, why?")
I think it's a largely impossible question to answer, because most of the time we just don't know. I was considering this yesterday when I started writing a short story out of the blue. I haven't written a short for yonks, and when the initial flurry of activity had died down, I did stop and think: "Where on earth did that come from?"
You'd think there would be something. Was I looking at a particular word at the time, or was it the tinny beat of someone's MP3 player that triggered it? I don't know. The thing is, short story writing is like hunting an animal, something lithe and speedy with a twitching nose and twisty little horns. Once you get the scent of this shy creature, you're off, streaking through the forest after it; you follow it wherever it twists and hops and leaps, and you can't stop until…" Read the rest here

Who's afraid of the big bad clown?
People are afraid of the strangest things. Pick a thing, any thing, and someone will be terrified of it.
For fiction writers, this is pure bliss. As a device to make any of your characters behave out of, er, character, a phobia can come in very handy. If you need to stop a character in mid-action, throw in something to scare them witless or give them a shock.
If you need a new idea for a sub-plot, a crisis, an ending or a beginning, pick a phobia. They're great. Mind you, it's not something you can use too often, but it doesn't have to be a major thing. You could, however, build a whole novel around a serious phobia.
Oh, such fun. For the author, anyway. If you suffer from any phobia it's anything but. If you are phobic, on the other hand, you will know exactly how it feels to be confronted by the thing you fear most. You can write very convincingly about the physical feelings, the mental paralysis, the compulsion to run, or to destroy, or to freeze.
For each of the phobias illustrated, answer these questions without thinking – just write anything down. Let your subconscious do the work, not your conscious mind
Which character is scared of this?
Where and when does the encounter take place?
What does this character do instinctively and immediately?
How long does it take till the terror wears off?
Who else gets hurt in the panic?
What does the character lose, or fail to do as a result?
What is the consequence of this?
I'd love to see some of your responses – do please leave an example (or three) in the comments box.

The 4QMET (Continuously Variable Electronic Transmission) is
a transmission that enables a motor to always operate at a constant
speed and at the motor's peak efficiency, while providing
controlled output speed and torque conversion. Conversion of
constant motor speed to variable output speed and torque is
accomplished electronically. Therefore all efficiency benefits
are fully captured in energy savings.
The 4QMET is extremely
well suited for elevator applications where either geared or gearless
machines are used, providing the best of both worlds. The 4QMET enables
the high torque and quick acceleration required for geared application,
while at the same time enabling use of high maximum travel speeds
as typically provided by gearless machines. As the graph below shows,
by providing the most torque at the lowest speeds, the 4QMET enables
use of a smaller motor than would otherwise be used.
Furthermore, when
less torque is required during high speed travel, the 4QMET enables
the high motor speed to be passed through to the sheave, ensuring
the peak maximum speeds delivered by gearless systems.
