Maximising social media for scientific communication and strategies for increasing visibility, tracking, and increasing citations using specialist tools
Dr. Wasim Ahmed
Newcastle University
This talk focuses on the benefits of engaging with social media and relatively new forms of scholarly communication. It will provide an overview of developing an effective Twitter profile for scientific communication and discuss the benefits of other social media platforms. The talk will them outline methods to increase visibility, track and increase citations and will also outline specialist tools such as 'Publish or Perish' , Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu.
Opportunity management in projects
Prof. Renata Walczak
Warsaw University of Technology
Risk management is a standard practice in organisations and projects. While taking up any project everybody asks what risks are related to it. There are countless risk management methodologies with myriads of procedures, rules and regulations that help to fight with risk understood as an event that has a negative outcome for the project. Even though risk is defined as a "an uncertain event or condition that if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on at least one project objective, such as time, costs, scope or quality." (PMBOK; Project Management Institute, 2013), based on research, entrepreneurs rarely think about opportunities. 90% of effort is directed to recognise and inspect events that may harm the project.
Opportunities are discussed before project starts, during the strategic, pre-project phase while defining project mandate document. When the contract is ready, project board accepts the project plan, making changes is difficult, even though a big opportunity arises.
The aim of Renata Walczak's research is to find out:
1. Whether enterprises are more concerned about risks understood in the negative sense than about opportunities.
2. What does it mean: "opportunities" in projects. What do the opportunities refer to?
3. Who and when should indicate opportunities. Who takes credit of it?
4. What activities enable opportunity management? How to identify and manage opportunities in projects?
5. How big opportunity should be to change the initial, optimal and agreed upon project solution?
Renata Walczak will present the findings of research undertaken as part of the GETM3 project which is conducted in Poland and in the UK.
Creating an Impactful Research Framework: from Preparing Research Bids to Writing, Reviewing, and Editing Research Papers
Prof. Emel Aktas
Cranfield University
The research business is painstaking. We dedicate immeasurable efforts to design and deliver impactful research whilst the pressure to produce higher quality and higher number of research outputs is increasing. Under these conflicting objectives we need dramatical improvements in our research efficiency to keep up with the times. This talk is designed as an interactive session where the presenter will share her experiences in preparing research bids and invite the audience to comment on different strategies for surviving and thriving in the increasingly competitive academic environment. We will address aspects of research such as initiating or contributing to transformation in society, engaging with different communities of knowledge, and co-creation of research outputs with immediate stakeholders and other scientists in the field. Finally, we will focus on dissemination and outreach, integral parts of an impactful research framework through writing, reviewing, and editing research papers.
Celebrating Failures and Pathways to Research Success
Dr Alireza Shokri and Prof. Dilek Onkal
Northumbria University
The topic of this workshop is "Celebrating Failures and Pathways to Research Success" and it is jointly hosted by Decisions & Analytics and Global Operations and Supply Chain Competitiveness (GLOPSCO) RIGs. The format will be a panel discussion where colleagues will share their failures in relation to research publications and grant applications so that we can all learn from our colleagues' lessons and experiences to enable a supportive platform for enhanced success towards REF 2021 and beyond. We intend to encourage colleagues to share their experiences of rejection (and not success this time) of their journal paper submissions and/or grant applications with discussions in smaller teams, followed by a panel session outlining the critical lessons to be shared anonymously. We believe this session will provide a supportive learning experience for all colleagues including those with significant research track records as well as colleagues who are at the beginning of their academic journeys.
Proprietary Parts as a Secondary Market Strategy
Prof. Marc Reimann
University of Graz, Northumbria University
Introducing proprietary parts to gain a competitive edge is a well-known, yet poorly understood strategy OEMs adopt. In this paper, we consider an OEM who sells new products and competes with an independent remanufacturer (IR) selling remanufactured products. The OEM contem- plates proprietary parts to manage the secondary market for remanufactured products. Thereby, the OEM designs its product to balance the trade-off between the cost of proprietariness and the extra income from selling the proprietary spare parts to the IR. Deterring market entry by the IR through prohibitively pricing the proprietary spare parts, an OEM strategy observed in several industries, is only optimal when the willingness-to-pay for remanufactured products is low. Otherwise, the OEM benefits more from sharing the secondary market profits with the IR through the use of proprietary parts. Finally, we find that the OEM can also use proprietary parts to strategically deter entry by the IR and discouraging her to collect the cores. This can support the OEM's decisions to engage in remanufacturing even in the case of a collection cost disadvantage. While the introduction of proprietary parts is detrimental to both IRs and consumers, we show that OEM remanufacturing softens this loss for the consumers. Additionaly, I will also talk a little about the submission, refereeing and revision process of such a paper.
Publishing your research: an editor's perspective
The pros and cons of alternative ways of making decisions in the face of uncertainty about the future
Prof. George Wright
University of Strathclyde
The first part of Prof. Wright's talk will encourage a discussion on the "gamesmanship" of getting papers published and on how to supervise PhD students with the aim of achieving publications during the apprenticeship process. Given time allows, the second part of his talk will provide an introduction to different ways of making decision in the face of uncertainty about the future and will encourage discussion on this important topic.
Knowledge across boundaries
Dr Colin Richardson FBCS CITP
Northumbrian Water
One of the most challenging elements within industry today is the ever growing need for knowledge sharing across different organisations. The ability to share a common understanding can be difficult, time consuming and costly. Often this leads to a lot of projects failing to deliver desired outcomes or failing completely. Colin will share his experiences and challenges to overcome issues in these areas and also perceptions of the environment as a whole. He will also discuss impacts arising both technical and political which influence the hunger for evolutionary growth in the knowledge management environment.
Are people able to distinguish good forecasting models from bad forecasting models?
Dr. Shari De Baets
Ghent University
Judgmental forecasting is pervasive in business practice (Fildes & Goodwin, 2007), with the most recent number indicating a combination approach of judgment and statistics of 55% and rising (Fildes & Petropoulos, 2015). Forecasting support systems allow the user to apply many different types of forecasting methods to the data series. However, no approach is universally superior to all others. Forecasting competitions have shown that which approach is best depends on the characteristics of the data series (e.g. Makridakis & Hibon, 2000). Thus the forecaster has to decide which approach to use. But can people truly assess forecasting quality? In two experiments (N1 = 191, N2 = 161), we investigate (1) whether people are able to distinguish a 'good' from a 'bad' forecast, (2) whether this model selection outperforms the average, and (3) whether the quality of their model affects the participant's subsequent forecasting behavior.
Submitting and reviewing articles for Technological Forecasting and Social Change journal
Prof. Savvas Papagiannidis
Newcastle University
TFSC (3* ABS2018, IF: 3.129) is a major forum for those wishing to deal directly with the methodology and practice of technological forecasting and future studies as planning tools as they interrelate social, environmental and technological factors. The event will focus on the experience of Prof. Papagiannidis as an Associate Editor for Technological Forecasting and Social Change. The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions about the submission and reviewing process of the journal.
Metamodel-based Forecast of Lead Time Quantiles
Prof. Russell Barton
Smeal College of Business, Penn State University
Real-time control has become increasingly difficult as manufacturing systems and their models become more complex in terms of job variety, machine flexibility and machine reliability. We consider a control policy to be a set of rules governing when jobs are released to the manufacturing floor (and perhaps to which machine in a flexible system). The objective of a control policy is to maximize efficiency (machine utilization) while meeting job demand times. A critical quantity in this planning is the quantile (say the 90% quantile) of forecast completion time for a job released to the system in its current state. We propose an analysis method, based on offline simulation of a fraction of all possible states, that fits a metamodel to predict the state-based lead time quantile. The rapid calculation enabled by the metamodel allows real-time support of a dynamic strategy for job release. Our approach builds on related work in quantile metamodeling, design of simulation experiments, and simulation in production planning. (This work is joint with Giulia Pedrielli.)
Note: Following the talk there will be opportunity for networking and further informal discussion.
The role of BPMN models and simulation for healthcare resource planning
Dr. Thais Webber
University of St Andrews
There is an unquestionable need to improve healthcare processes across all levels of care in order to optimise the use of resources whilst guaranteeing high quality care to patients. However, healthcare processes are generally very complex and have to be fully understood before enhancement suggestions can be made. Modelling with widely used notation such as BPMN (Business Process Modelling and Notation) can help gain a shared understanding of a process, but is not sufficient to understand the needs and demands of resources. Simulation can be used for both strategic and operational decision making in healthcare organizations. Thais will share her experiences acquired in a recent joint research project between Brazil and Scotland. An approach to enrich BPMN models with structured annotations is proposed to enhance performance analysis and resource allocation in the organization. The case study was an A&E department of a sizeable hospital in the South of Brazil.
Supply chain collaboration in the presence of disruptions
Dr. Linh N K Duong
University of Lincoln
The supply chain collaboration has gained significant attention, especially in the presence of disruptions. This study presents findings from a systematic literature review to answer the question: how collaborations help supply chains respond and recover from a disruption. A total of 157 papers from the year 2000 were studied. The thematic and descriptive analysis identified usefulness, used research methodologies, collaboration mechanisms, and influential factors in collaboration. This comprehensive review provides in-depth insights into the current state of literature, proposes a research framework, and identifies several future research directions. It also highlights the role of each collaboration mechanism based on each severity level of disruptions.
Innovation Ecosystem in Digital Age
Prof. Nuran Acur
University of Glasgow
Innovation ecosystems have become a vital topic in strategy and innovation management in digital age. Navigating such ecosystems requires ecosystem strategies that focus on interdependencies, complementarities and value co-creation. Innovation ecosystems rarely emerge fully formed, and ecosystem strategies need to take ecosystem dynamics into account. However, prior research is relatively silent on the implications of ecosystem dynamics for ecosystem strategy. The innovation ecosystem is defined as a product/service system, historically self-organized or managerially designed multilayer social network consisting of actors that have different attributes, decision principles, and beliefs. (Tsuijimoto et al, 2018). This research will contribute to knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the relationships formed between the actors in the ecosystem and their influence on its success or failure. I will present primarily results from my two ongoing projects: DARWIN- Connected Autonomous Vehicle, Technology Policy & Business Model and TANDEM-Interactive Health Ecosystem in Indonesia. It provides major opportunities and challenges for collaborative digital innovation researchers to explore fundamentals of open digital ecosystems through which novel solutions can be implemented.

Manchester City v Tottenham Betting Tips
After playing out one of the all time classic Champions League games this week, Manchester City and Tottenham face each other again on Saturday. After ruining their hopes of a quadruple, Spurs will be hoping to spoil the title race for City, as they look to secure a top 4 place of their own. After a last minute disallowed goal sent Spurs through in midweek however; expect City to have some extra motivation coming into this one.
Manchester City - 2/7* To Win
Manchester City Recent Form
Last Time Out In The Premier League
Manchester City continued to stick in the Premier League title race with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Raheem Sterling had the best early chance but failed to score an open goal from just 6 yards out. He made up for it early on however, lifting the ball over Guaita to give City the early lead. City seemed too eager to score the next goal and seemed to get in each others way as they searched for the second. It finally came in the second half, again from Sterling who cleverly steered the ball into the bottom corner from Sane's cross. Luka Milivojevic scored a smart free kick to threaten a late comeback, but Gabriel Jesus' first goal since February ended any of City's worries. With the win, City kept the pressure on Liverpool with just under a month of the season remaining. City sit in 2nd on 83 points, 2 points behind Liverpool but with a game in hand.
Tottenham Hotspur - 9/1* To Win
Tottenham Hotspur Recent Form
Last Time Out In The Premier League
In between their 2 Champions League ties, Tottenham faced Huddersfield at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With the Terriers already relegated, this was expected to be a drubbing and Spurs duly delivered. Unlikely scorer Victory Wanyama opened the scoring after 24 minutes, just his second goal in two years. Three minutes later, Lucas Moura added a second from a tight angle to put Spurs fully in control. Tottenham continued to dominate but failed to take any of their chances until late on. Lucas grabbed a late third before completing his hat trick with a spectacular finish in injury time. The win keeps Spurs top 4 hopes well and truly alive and they currently sit in 3rd place on 67 points.
Where's the value bet?
In recent years, Manchester City v Tottenham has been one of the highest scoring fixtures in the Premier League. In the last 5 games at the Etihad, there has been an average of 4.6 goals per game, normally in City's favour. Of the 23 goals, City scored 17 of them, including a 6-0 drubbing in 2013. If Wednesday's Champions League tie taught us anything, it's that both sides are still dangerous going forward with issues at the back. Similar line ups on Saturday will lead to tired legs and we could see some action late on in this one. Regardless of whether they come straight away or in injury time, there should be a few goals here.
Where to watch Manchester City v Tottenham
Man City v Tottenham will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event from 12:30pm on Saturday 20th April.
Bet UK's Headline Betting Tip
Without the Champions League to worry about, City will now put their full focus on the Champions League. This match presents the perfect opportunity for revenge and expect City to take it.

Vaccines aren't just for kids
Adults should verify which shots they need as they age
Most people associate vaccinations with children. And it's true, as children grow, vaccines are extremely important. Vaccines aren't just for kids though. Do you know that vaccines are just as important for adults?
Some of the shots we get as children wear off as we age. This means you may be at risk of contracting different strains or new diseases. No matter your age, you need shots to protect yourself from serious and deadly diseases.

A video tutorial follows at the end of the text tutorial.
Using the shape tool draw a circle.
Select the layers you want to use in your pattern. Then go to Object --> Pattern --> Make
Now the pattern editing window will pop up. For a basic polka dot pattern, change the "tile type" to brick by row, and increase the padding around your circle by changing the width and height of the pattern area. When you're done click on "done" near the top.
Now back in my original artboard I will hide the circle I made and draw a square the size of my canvas.
On the swatches panel (Window --> Swatches) you will see that your pattern has been saved. With your new square highlighted, set the fill to the polka dot pattern.
To change the size of your pattern, right click on the square and navigate to Transform -->Scale
In the window set the percent you want to shrink the pattern. Also, uncheck "transform object." Now you have a smaller pattern!

On a recent sojourn, a Moonstone delegation consisting of Hjalmar Bekker, Director of Moonstone and Bobby Londt (pictured above left), Digital Strategist, visited prominent industry counterparts in the UK.
This was not the first time since the introduction of international regulatory intervention in the financial services industry, that Hjalmar Bekker had undertaken such forays with the intention of gaining first-hand experience of how the industry there experienced, in practical terms, such changes. He also conducted extensive discussions with the UK authorities to understand the rationale behind their thinking.
Australia and the United Kingdom embarked on the regulatory trail long before South Africa did. Whilst each country has its own unique characteristics, there are also many similarities, like the outcomes of the Treating Customers Fairly approach by the FSB which absolutely mirrors the UK version. The objective of these visits is to learn from others, and to foster collaboration so as to not re-invent the wheel.
The SimplyBiz Group played an important role in these developments from as early as 2004, as did ThreeSixty, more recently.
Typically, says Bobby, we would compare notes on where we are in terms of regulatory developments. From there the conversation would shift to synergies and experiences and the sharing of best practice ideas, including operational and commercial considerations. At the root of all these discussions was the intent to offer the adviser the best possible options to choose from in the current state of affairs.
For Bobby the experience at SimplyBiz (Huddersfield) was especially rewarding as this was the company he worked for as a start-up in 2003 and stayed with until 2011 when he returned to SA. The growth and solutions developed in the last 5 years literally snowballed, and contributed immensely to the company's success. Joint Managing Director, Matt Timmins(pictured above right), played host to our visit and as always had us hooked on his thinking and philosophy regarding service excellence to their advisers.
ThreeSixty's Managing Director, Phil Young, hosted us in Manchester for a couple of hours and his views on regulatory change and the environment was of particular interest.
We also met with a few industry personalities to which we hope to introduce you later – conversations with them was to gain their views and thoughts on matters of mutual interest.
Moonstone, in turn, also introduced Suitebox, and the reception of this new technology was extremely positive.
The introduction of SuiteBox to the South African market will commence in the coming weeks. We regard this as the future of financial advice, not only in South Africa, but in the world.
We hope to reciprocate the welcome hospitality experienced during our recent visit to influential players from the UK, Middle East and Australia. They all admit to having a weakness for Stellenbosch wines, and with the current exchange rate, coupled with the approaching summer, cannot wait to visit us.

Hi Red ,
I love reading your column. My question: In the last four years, I have been through a divorce, bad breakup of next relationship, through a myriad of bad online dating experiences, financial hell, job changes (and uncertainties regarding them), and a struggling renter without a lease in a very expensive area of the country.
This is my third birthday/holiday season alone and it's hard to keep trooping on and being positive. Is this my permanent future/life, or will things turn around for me? Will I find love again, financial stability, career success, and a home to call my own?
Thank you,
Dear A-C,
Sounds like you've been on quite a run!
Nothing ever stays the same, because change is one of the few constants in life. So, no, the past four years are not indicative of the rest of your life.
Naturally, your financial stability is in direct connection with your career success, which you will achieve. However, the success you will have may not be exactly as you have envisioned. What I am seeing for you is steady employment while you undertake some additional study or education that is not only going to change the path you are on, but also your success goals. While you will continue to pursue success in your field, you will find some sort of niche that is personally and professionally rewarding. This change in plans will allow you to be more of an entrepreneur than a payroll employee. The rewards will come, but initially, there is an element of financial risk. When the time comes, trust your intuition. Through hard work and efforts of your own, you will be able to have more house than you expect to call your own.
Looking at your love life, you will be meeting someone new early in 2007. While I cannot see if this is the relationship that will take you to the end of your days, it does present as an emotionally driven union. Passion is the key word. While it is powerful, I'm not going to try and lead you to believe that it will be easy. Every day will be an adventure, and some days you just won't know what to expect. This relationship will strengthen you, even if it does try your patience a bit. There is much excitement here, both good and bad.
Change does not always come the way would like it to, or in the manner in which we are trying to create. But, it does come. While you have not yet completed a low cycle in your life, you are making progress. There are things you can control, and other things that only manifest in their own time. Take each day one step at a time. It's going to take some time, but you will walk out from under the shadows of the past.
Brightest Blessings,
Ext. 9226

Mr Maurer congratulated Croatia on its imminent presidency of the EU Council, which has adopted the motto 'A strong Europe in a challenging world'. He highlighted the fact that Switzerland and the European Union have a shared interest in a strong and dynamic European continent. As the Swiss delegation in Croatia reiterated, the institutional agreement with the EU will be one of the main points on the political agenda in the coming twelve months. Unresolved issues must be clarified in order to achieve domestic approval in Switzerland. Mr Mauer underlined during Ms Grabar-Kitarovic's visit to Bern this summer that any extraneous linking is to be avoided in the meantime.
Mr Maurer's return visit was seen by both sides as an expression of the excellent relations between Switzerland and Croatia. 30,000 Croatian citizens and 50,000 Croatian-Swiss dual citizens live in Switzerland. In recent years, bilateral relations have benefited from cooperation that has taken place as part of the Swiss contribution to EU enlargement. While in Croatia, Mr Maurer also met Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and the speaker of the Croatian parliament, Gordan Jandroković.

Washington — The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted largely along party lines Tuesday to advance the nomination of Bernard McNamee to the fifth slot at the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, despite concerns voiced by the committee's leaders over statements he made in February criticizing renewable energy.

The confirmation could provide Republicans with a tie-breaking vote on more contentious matters and assure continued approvals of natural gas infrastructure.
The committee also voted to advance the nomination of Rita Baranwal, director of DOE's Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear, to be assistant secretary for nuclear energy at DOE and for David Vela to be director of the National Park Service.
In supporting McNamee's nomination, Committee Chairman Lisa Murkowski, Republican-Alaska, acknowledged she found some of this February comments in a video that surfaced last week to be "unfortunate."

McNamee, in a policy orientation while working for a conservative think tank, described renewables as "screwing up the whole physics of the grid" when they come on and off, and discussed a messaging campaign to convince the public that fossil fuels are essential to quality of life as well as a clean environment. In addition, he described environmental groups as advancing "administrative tyranny" and suggested CO2 was not "real pollution" in comparison to such things as burning coal inside homes in developing nations.
Murkowski said fossil fuels "have made a great deal possible ... and I believe we continue to need them," while adding "we also recognize their role in changes we're seeing in our climate." As for McNamee's remarks on renewable energy, she said: "It's more appropriate to think of renewables as a technical challenge for the grid, one that we will overcome. "But based on conversations she has had with McNamee, she said "I think that he understands that FERC must be an independent agency," and said she would take his commitment at face value.
In written answers to questions from senators following his confirmation hearing, McNamee gave assurances that renewable energy along with other resources "play important roles in supporting a reliable grid" and emphasized that competitive wholesale markets "should offer a level playing field."
But Committee Ranking Member Maria Cantwell, Democrat-Washington, said she was not able to support him, both because of his role in the administration's efforts to "subsidize high-cost coal" at the expense of ratepayers, and her view that the video unveiled a bias.
"After the video surfaced ... I find it hard to believe that he will be the impartial reviewer of these issues," Cantwell said. "McNamee's speech shows him to be neither fair nor judicious. His views expressed are out of the mainstream."
Murkowski continued to express hopes for full Senate action on the nominations by the end of the year, but was uncertain whether leadership would be able to move them given other pending nominees in the queue.
Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia joined Republicans in voting to advance McNamee's nomination.

Don't let my long title mislead you. There are numerous benefits to outdoor gardening, and we embrace them all.
1. Gardening in the Cleveland sunshine (a very welcome sight) is a great way to get exposure to vitamin D which increases calcium levels. Don't forget sunscreen for skin protection and sunglasses for your eyes, and drink plenty of water.
2. More that a decade ago, scientists found that gardening reduced the risk of dementia by more than 36%.
3. Gardening is a great tool for fighting stress and resulting in relaxation and pure enjoyment.
4. Believe it or not, switching from one tool to another, bending, digging, and weed pulling are all forms of aerobic exercise which helps with strength, stamina and flexibility.
But, you need to bend and stretch before beginning your work in the garden. When your day in the garden is done, and you've stored all your equipment in the garage or shed, it's time to give entering you home some thought. There will be soil clinging to the soles of your shoes. What does that mean to you and your healthy home? For one, when exterior lead-based paint from your house flakes or peels it gets into the soil. Lead in the soil can be tracked into the home and will contaminate your floors and carpeting. If you know for sure that your home does not contain any lead-based paint, then you are safe from this issue. Last year Melissa Breyer wrote an interesting article in which she says that shoes are a great source for hitchhiking bacteria and toxins. Here are the nasty things that your gardening shoes can bring onto your carpeting.
1. Bacteria. "A study from the University of Arizona collected germs and microbes on footwear. The researchers found 421,000 units of bacteria on the outside of the shoe,
including E. coli, meningitis and diarrheal disease; Klebsiella pneumonia, a common source for wound and bloodstream infections as well as pneumonia; and Serratia ficaria, a rare cause of infections in the respiratory tract and wounds."
2. Toxins. "An EPA study, reported in Environmental Science & Technology provided the first proof that unhealthy herbicides can be tracked into residences on shoes, and 'track-in' exposures of these chemicals may exceed those from residues on non-organic fresh fruits and vegetables."
3. Dirt. Shoes bring in the plain old dirt from your garden requiring you to have your carpets cleaned more often. When the carpeting in your home falls victim to soil buildup from your garden, you need to have a hot water extraction cleaning done by Orion Cleaning in Cleveland, Ohio. Remember that your kids and pets are playing on the carpeting that you have implanted with germs from the garden. We recommend
vacuuming your carpets once a week. But, in addition, you still will need to get ground-in soil removed professionally with our hot water extraction method resulting in sanitary carpets throughout your home. The consistent cleaning from Orion Cleaning will extend the life of your carpets. The last time you did some gardening you wore your shoes inside and tracked in those nasty bacteria and toxins. But, you were smart and called Orion Cleaning at 440-306-2369 for a hot water extraction carpet cleaning. This time, go outside and do some healthy gardening. Then, remember to leave your shoes at the door, and wait until the fall to call Orion Cleaning for your carpets again.

Citadel Communications Declines Arbitration in Retrans Row
Citadel Communications Company has said no to DirecTV's
suggestion that the two parties settle their retransmission
consent differences through a third-party arbiter, saying there's still
time for the sides to work in good faith toward an agreement.
The parties are set to meet at 1:30 Central time today.
At stake are the signals for Citadel Communications' ABC
affiliate WOI Des Moines, ABC affiliate KLKN Lincoln (Neb.)
and CBS affiliate WHBF Davenport (Iowa),
which will presumably go dark for DirecTV subscribers at midnight on March 31
if an agreement for carriage is not worked out.
Citadel Communications President/COO Ray Cole says he's
available 24/7 to get the deal done. "There's plenty of time to successfully
complete negotiations," says Cole.
"We think it's outrageous that Citadel is asking for over a 100% increase in rate," countered DirecTV government affairs chief Susan Eid late afternoon Friday. "They're refusing to keep their signal up while we negotiate and refusing to discuss this with a third party. None of that suggests good faith on their part to me."
A key element of any retrans spat is the attempt by both sides
to win public opinion. Citadel has been running on-air crawls and "special
advisories" on its station sites informing viewers of the matter, and has
half-page ads in various local newspapers today.
DirecTV issued a statement earlier this week, saying it has
been negotiating "in good faith to try and reach a resolution and will continue
to do so."
Cole said the broadcaster and satellite operator had a
better chance of working out a deal before deadline without third parties'
involvement, as arbitration is time-consuming and, he felt, can make matters
more complicated.
DirecTV says the Citadel stations are demanding a 100% rate
increase. Cole says the stations' request for payment from DirecTV is "wholly
consistent with the going market rate" for retransmission consent.

It's now easier than ever to shop online with all the discounts and deals easily available. But there are still many of you who haven't embraced this new culture of shopping from the comfort of your couch. Gone are the days where you have to get out of the house and go to the shops to search and hunt for what you like or want. There are several reasons and benefits of using this new way of shopping, with more and more people every day getting on the online shopping trend. Online shopping is a treat that is here to stay, according to experts with studies showing that 96% of Americans have shopped online before with the most prominent reasons being to save time and avoid unnecessary crowds.
So, let's take a look at why online shopping is so popular and why you should be shopping online more often:
Online Shopping Is Very Convenient
The biggest reason that most people have switching from conventional shopping to online shopping is that online shopping is very convenient. When you shop online, you can do it from your bed, while you are in your PJs, and at 3 in the morning, all things you can't do with conventional shopping. There are also no cues to wait or misdirecting shop assistants to annoy you.
Overall, online shopping provides a 'no pollution' experience in shopping because you don't have to drive to and from the store.
Online Shopping Gets You Great Deals On Older Items
Because it's so easy to sell unused and old items online, bargaining can get to be a goldmine if you know where to look. If you tried to do the same by visiting the stores physically, the price of the fuel itself would cost you a fortune when you search for the one item you want but can't find.
Online Shopping Is Hassle And Crowd-Free
I hate shopping in crowded places, no matter how cheaply I can get that skirt. So, if you are like me and dislike crowds, you should be buying online. We all know how crowded the stores get during festive seasons with people trying to do last minute shopping and snatch some deals, but you should know that there are often better deals to be had online with the bonus of not having to deal with crowds and parking.
Online Shopping Offers More Variety And Choice
One of the main reasons people love shopping online is that there is a lot of variety when shopping online. You have access to multiple brands and different products from various sellers online. You can also be updated on the latest trends in the world instead of choosing from a small selection of products found in a normal brick and mortar shop. When you shop online, you are not limited by your location or the location of the sellers as you can buy from a seller in Tokyo while you are in your apartment in New York. When you do this, your item will be shipped from the seller and arrive at your doorstep quickly and easily. The bottom line is that when you shop online, you aren't limited to the items that are in front of you like in offline stores.
Online Shopping Helps Avoid Pushy Sales People
We have all had that shopping trip that ended up going from one item that we needed to a shopping spree that resulted in buying things we don't need or want. The reason this happens is that we are often pressured by shopkeepers to purchase the item, even if are compromising to do so.
Online Shopping Has No Extra Expenses
Conventional shopping comes with its fair share of expenses. Excluding the cost of the handbag you want, there are costs in eating out, driving to and back from the mall/store and there are also impulsive buys that can cost a pretty penny. If you decided to shop online, you would be saving a lot by eliminating the other expenses and only purchasing what you wanted in the first place.
Online Shopping Gives Best Prices
It's cheaper buying products online because there are no extra costs for the seller to deal with. In a conventional store, the seller has to pay rent, electricity, staff wages and so on but in online stores, the seller only has to deal with shipping which he can do himself. This helps reduce the seller's costs and allows for a lower price online.
Online Shopping Allows You To Purchase Discreetly
There are some things we are too shy to purchase at a traditional store in fear of someone seeing us. These products can be sexy lingerie, adult toys and so on. When buying online, you don't have to worry about what the storekeeper or the sales clerk thinks of you and your purchases because online shopping has it easy to purchase discreetly.
These are some of the reasons I find online shopping to be such a breeze and why I think you should be shopping online more often too. However, you should remember that you should always make purchases from reputable stores and avoid giving out your information without reason.

Incredible Cleaning Hacks Which Makes Life Easier
The following are the simple and regular hacks which one can use in daily life to get their work done in very minimal time and without paying many efforts. Without the help best bond cleaners and any cleaning organization, you can perform these normal tasks.

House cleaning is not only about dusting and vacuuming. It includes a lot more than that. Removing stains, sanitizing bathrooms, and disinfecting kitchen, clearing cobwebs and a lot more – you have to manage everything within an estimated timeframe. To make your job easier, you can keep all the cleaning tools such as mops, vacuum cleaner, broom, scrubber, cleaners, and other tools handy. This will save you time and also let you focus on other important cleaning chores.
2. Make a cleaner at home
Instead of buying chemical-based cleaning products, you can create a non-toxic one at home itself. Homemade cleaner not only removes stains but also keep the environment-friendly to a great extent. All you need to do is to combine 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda, ¼ of white vinegar, and 1 quart of warm water. Pour this solution into an empty spray bottle and use it to clean your house. Isn't it simple?
3. De-stink the trash bins
Lemon works wonders when it comes to eliminating the stink from the trash bins. You can run a few lemon rinds via the disposal and add some cold water to remove lousy odours. And the best part is that the entire process will take less than 10 minutes.
4. Remove water rings
Removing water rings from wooden floors and other wooden surfaces is a challenging task. But hold on. We have a great trick for you.

Once you are done with the vacuum cleaning, you can sweep the entire floor using a light detergent of good quality. Pour it on the floor and scrub it using a mop.

It is one of the best techniques to clean them.
7. Blinds Cleaning
Alike your windows and doors, blinds also need deep and professional cleaning for best possible results. You can use a homemade solution (white vinegar and warm water) to remove spots from your blinders.
All you need to do is to soak a microfiber cloth in a cleaning solution and wipe down the entire slat of the blinds to get rid of any dust and dirt.
8. Remove oil stains
If you want to remove oil stains from the carpet, use baking soda. It works wonders. You can rub the oil stain with a pinch of baking soda to remove it from scratch. Keep on scrubbing gently until the mark fades away.

DERRY, N.H. (WHDH) — A man and his 6-year-old son were found dead Monday afternoon inside a mobile home in Derry, New Hampshire. Authorities ruled their deaths a murder-suicide.
Police were called to the home on Kendall Pond Road around 12:30 p.m. for a welfare check and found the bodies of 39-year-old Matthew Edmunds and his son, Preston Connor Edmunds, in a bedroom, according to the state attorney general's office.
Officials say officers found a sign hanging from the living room ceiling fan that warned police that they "will find me and my son" in the bedroom and to be aware of "dangerous carbon monoxide levels." Officers then forced entry into a locked bedroom.
In the bedroom, officials say officers discovered the bodies of Matthew and Preston. Officers observed that the room had been sealed from the inside using duct tape and a blanket. Also in the room, officers located two charcoal grills each containing burnt charcoal and ash.
An autopsy report found that the cause of death of Preston was carbon monoxide poisoning and the manner of death was homicide. Matthew's cause of death was said to be carbon monoxide poisoning and the manner of death was suicide.
Authorities say the father and son were the only residents of the home.
The incident is under investigation.

While the NHL season may have just ended, it's time to turn the page and look ahead to the upcoming 2016-2017 season. With July 1st fast approaching and the draft even sooner on the 24th, the NHL offseason is in full swing. Now, will the Jets be making much noise in this years offseason? What they decide to do with their two promising restricted free agents in Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba will certainly generate some noise, but will the Jets be active participants in the free agent bidding wars.
Last season, the Jets took lots of heat for filling out empty roster spots with young prospects as opposed to re-signing players such as Lee Stempniak or finding additions via free agency or the trade market to build off their first round playoff berth the previous year. Is this year much different? Should the Jets not be trusting there youth?
It's quite the opposite and if anything, this is the year of all years to fill out the roster with the teams prospects. This years training camp looks to be the most competitive that the Jets have ever had. The Jets depth will thicken with the likely draft pick of Patrik Laine and with prospects like Joel Armia, Marko Dano, Nic Petan and potentially even Kyle Connor knocking on the door for NHL spots. There will be lots of young players to choose from to fill out their roster. The team looks pretty set up front and likely won't make many significant attempts to sign the big free agents ( and it's not like they'd have much interest in coming to Winnipeg anyways).
It's no secret the Jets left sided defence is poor at best. The team has three solid defenders on the right side in Byfuglien Myers and Trouba but a left side that doesn't have much to show for it. Could free agency be the place they could upgrade their left side?
It's tricky.
While there are intriguing left shot D-men such as the likes of Keith Yandle and Brian Campell, the two will demand big dollar that a) the Jets may not be able to compete with other teams in a bidding war and b) the Jets may not be able to afford to give up.
Now looking at the second tier of this years left shot defenseman, it's not pretty.
Nikita Nikitin, Dan Hamhuis, Kyle Quincey and Kris Russell round out a group of D that wouldn't be worthy investments of the Jets money and can't fill the void of a minute munching top left handed defenseamn that they so desperately need. Unrestricted free agent Alex Goligoski would've been a nice addition to the Jets. Goligoski seems like a player that could fit in to the Jets lineup quite nicely, but his negotiating rights were traded from Dallas to Arizona and if he doesn't strike a deal there he wont be hard pressed to find the kind of money he wants elsewhere.
It'll be hard for the Jets to get the kind of defensmean they need on the free agency market.
The best way for the Jets to upgrade the left side will be to sniff around on the trade market. The Jets have lots of assets to play ball with such as the 22nd overall pick and a plethora of prospects that they could give up if it meant acquiring a LHD.
Don't glue yourself to your couch to watch TSN Free Agent Frenzy in hopes of seeing much Jets action, cause it'll be unlikely you see anything too exciting. But don't be too surprised if the Jets pull the trigger on a deal at the draft or in the offseason.
Buckle up folks,
The offseason is here
Will the Jets be active when free agency begins? Let us know on twitter @NHLJetsNation.

These slats serve a fundamental function in supporting the mattress. This is an attempted and real technique for bed building.
In many cases a child quilt which has actually been made by hand and provided to the couple will be treasured for many years to come and frequently will be passed down from one generation to the next. So selecting the right sort of baby quilt pattern can frequently be very difficult due to the fact that of the big variety of patterns now readily available. The most typical sorts of patterns utilized for baby's quilts consist of trains, airplanes, boats, ducks and letters of the alphabet.

A new off-ramp to the old Romaggi Adobe paves the way to the next stage needed to transform the 162-year-old structure into a history museum.
"This is the revival of the project," said Angels Camp resident Adrian Nestor, who has dreamed of establishing the Romaggi Adobe's Museum of Gold Rush Families since 2002. "I've always loved old buildings."
And when Nestor first saw the Romaggi home during drives along Highway 49, he was struck by curiosity about the family that once lived and worked there. He set about gathering family history and tracked down descendants of the Gold Rush-era Italian immigrant family. Nestor found that after striking it rich in gold panning, James Romaggi built the structure that served as a residence to his family of eight and also served as a store, bar, winery, stagecoach stop and orchard.
Having discovered the building's origins, Nestor gradually acquired ownership shares of the building and established the Romaggi Adobe Association, a nonprofit to acquire renovation funds for the old edifice.
Thus far, much of the accomplishments have involved research, paperwork and necessary maintenance. But the $30,000 off-ramp project has made a notable improvement to the challenging project.
"This kind of a project is called brick and mortar," Nestor said. "To get somebody interested in an old building is very difficult."
The off-ramp was funded by Romaggi's great-great-grandson, who lives in Stockton. And the paving work was completed by K.W. Emerson Inc. of San Andreas.
"With all the work we're going to do here, we're going to try to keep the money in Calaveras County," Nestor explained.
And now that an entrance is in place, a structural engineer can provide an estimate for building renovations. Nestor expects it will cost $400,000 to reconstruct the building enough to safely walk inside.
Nestor's mission is not only to preserve the place but also the history of the family that dwelled within its walls.
"Notice how when you get together with friends and family, you always talk about what happened in the past," he said. "That's why history is so important. There's that saying, 'If you don't know where you've been, you don't know where you're going.' I think there's some truth to that."
In the museum, Nestor hopes to house old relics of Gold Rush-era immigrant families. He already has a few secured from Romaggi descendants, such as a steel bowl from 1852 and a $10 gold piece.
"Little kids don't get interested in where their grandparents came from, or even their parents," he said. "We're trying to get the young kids interested in their ancestry before it's too late."

#HackSociety: 6 ideas for a climate-resilient PH
MANILA, Philippines – Innovations that changed the world all began as ideas. Rappler's Social Good Summit on Saturday, September 24, came up with 6 ideas aiming to prepare the Philippines for the biggest environmental challenges to face humanity – climate change and disasters.
A mobile app allows bikers to become emergency responders. Emergency stations can be powered by the sun. Here are the 6 ideas to make the country disaster-prone and climate-resilient.
Jack and the Bin Stalk
Getting households to properly segregate their garbage has been a long-running problem in the Philippines. It has yet to become a regular habit among Filipinos despite a comprehensive solid waste management law and a number of local ordinances.
A technologically savvy youth group decided to take on this problem using a combination of hardware and software, providing monetary incentives for households to segregate garbage properly.
The hardware comes in the form of a special segregation bin that is "compact and portable." The software is a garbage collection application system that awards households with points for segragating their trash and connects them to junk shops in Biñan, where the households can earn from selling recyclable scraps.
"We're giving waste a value," said Domyson Abuan, a public school teacher who helped start the group.
Jack and the Bin Stalk aims to adopt 50 households in Biñan to test their idea. Based on the group's observation, a typical Filipino household in Biñan generates up to 7 kilograms of waste a day.
BLOC Camp Site
BLOC camp sites seek to be the answer to the lack of immmediate and reliable emergency shelters in the Philippines, a country deemed one of the most vulnerable to natural disasters because of its location in the Pacific Ocean.
The country experience after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), one of the strongest typhoons that flattened many parts of central Philippines, highlighted the urgency of preparing emergency shelters for Filipinos living in storm paths.
A BLOC Camp Site is powered by a renewable energy and outfitted with a water catchment system. Its pilot "camp site" in Lumban, Laguna is proving to be a success, according to Philip Inno, a consultant for the group.
The camp site has also turned into a tourist attraction, a destination for glamping or "glamorous camping."
The group hopes to build more camp sites in other disaster-prone areas in the country.
Bike Scouts Philippines and Goozam
In today's hyperconnected world, the problem is not so much about connecting a person in danger to the nearest emergency responder. The challenge is making sure the emergency responder is able and equipped to provide the necessary assistance.
Bridging the gap between information and action is what Bike Scouts Philippines and Goozam app want to address.
Bike Scouts Philippines first saw action in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda when its members biked to isolated towns and villages, collected names of casualties, and disseminated the information through Rappler.
Goozam, an "on demand, geo context" app that started in California's Los Angeles City, allows people in danger to send a distress signal to people nearby who are using same app.
The app, the "tech element" of the initiative, gathers information on people who need emergency assistance and makes the information available to Bike Scouts Philippines, the "human element," which then provides the on-the-ground help, explained Elijah Cruz, the promoter of the app in the Philippines.
Project Apollo
A 19-year-old University of Santo Tomas engineering student decided he wanted to build solar power charging stations in far-flung communities using locally-sourced materials. Darryl Limpin likens his charging station to smartphone charging stations in convenience stores, except his invention will be powered by solar panels and will be located in remote villages.
Limpin said his project is feasible now because the costs of building solar panels, buying batteries, and constructing structures to house the entire set-up have become cheaper.
He envisions power stations that can charge entire houses for 24 hours, a definite boon in times of typhoons or other calamities that can cut off power supply from communities.
Walang Pasok System
Prompt announcements of the suspension of classes are critical in times of typhoons. They save lives by keeping students safe inside their homes when storms get violent.
Walang Pasok System is an app that aims to facilitate better coordination between students, parents, local government officials, school authorities and government weather monitoring agencies to ensure announcements are disseminated as soon as possible.
The app also aims to promote understanding of the weather and disaster preparedness, crucial for typhoon-prone communities.
Ralph Abainza, one of the initiative's founders, said they want to move on to the consultation stage where they can ask stakeholders what features they want added in the app.
Tree-planting by the Philippine military
The Armed Forces of the Philippines have a nationwide presence and lots of manpower, making them perfect partners in restoring the country's forest cover.
2nd Lieutenant Antonio Amancio Tanque Jr says the AFP has planted 4 to 5 million trees since 2010. The projects are usually initiatives of other government agencies like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources or private groups like companies or non-governmental organizatons.
The AFP comes in when these groups are in need of manpower to actually take the seedlings to planting sites, typically difficult to access, and do the planting.
Tanque says the military takes care of seedlings after planting, unlike some reforestation projects that don't check on the seedlings afterward. – Rappler.com

Transfer of equity refers to the legal process of adding or removing someone from the title deeds of a property (as an owner). There are many reasons for doing this, including: removing an ex-spouse or partner; adding a new spouse or partner; adding a child or sibling; changing the share percentage of co-owners or buying out a co-owner's share; or for tax purposes. It can also be used to assist with estate planning to reduce inheritance tax. For more information regarding estate planning contact our private client department.
A transfer of equity may include 'consideration', which can either be a cash payment or taking on a share of the mortgage, or both.
Transfers of equity need an experienced solicitor to guide you through the process as it is not necessarily as straightforward as it appears. If there is an existing mortgage, you will need to obtain the lender's consent to the transaction. For this reason, a transfer of equity is commonly linked to a remortgage.
We will also need to deal with any restrictions or consent required depending on what it says on the register of title. Depending on the circumstances of the trustor, stamp duty may also need to be paid.
Our experienced residential conveyancing team can help you negotiate the process and any challenges that arise, as well as providing advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

Prime Focus World's 3D solutions for filmmakers
Of late, several projects have deployed the process of making stereo images from non-stereo traditional 2D images, also called stereo conversion or dimensionalisation or 3D imagery. And one of the leading stereo conversion studios, Prime Focus World, has had a very successful track record of converting 2D films into 3D, and assisting filmmakers shoot in 3D during the filming process itself.
While it is generally the directors and filmmakers who reach out to Prime Focus World to convert a 2D film into a 3D one, right from the scripting stage to pre-production and production, the studio too seeks out filmmakers to show them the possibilities of converting their films into 3D.
Prime Focus World senior stereoscopic supervisor Justin Jones has worked with clients including Lucasfilm, Dreamworks Animation, Paramount Pictures, Relativity Media and Warner Bros, apart from collaborating with Industrial Light & Magic visual effects supervisors, John Knoll and Dennis Muren.
Jones' mandate is to oversee the creative aspect of 3D projects. Early in the project cycle, he collaborates with the client to develop a creative strategy and establish the show structure and workflow. He works closely with the show's producer to conduct shot analysis, schedule consultation, departmental organisation and pipeline development. It is also part of Jones' job to keep tab on the progress made by the show across teams in North America, India and the United Kingdom.
Coming to technicalities, stereoscopic 3D is currently found in four basic formats, including anaglyph (red-cyan), polarised passive (movie theatres and many 3DTVs), active-shutter (DLP projectors and many 3DTVs) and autostereoscopic (parallax barrier like Nintendo 3DS). The tools used for stereo conversion are roto, ocula, in-painting, rubber mapping and projection. Of which, roto is the primary tool used for stereo conversion by volume. While roto just prepares the material, it is the most time-consuming portion of the conversion process.
"Roto really helps us achieve perfect conversion and helps artistes to have greater control over each pixel during the final conversion process," says Jones.
While stereo conversion mainly relies on these tools, there is more to it than just the technical aspect. Many a times, there are creative differences between the studio and filmmakers but Jones believes in first visualising what the director wants and then sitting with the team and ideating on how best to utilise the shots and scenes for perfect conversion into 3D.
"We convert a few shots and scenes and take it back to the filmmakers to show the difference between 2D and 3D, allowing them to give feedback and implementing it to see if it is beneficial to the conversion," says Jones.
With so much to and fro, the entire process is bound to be time-consuming. However, Prime Focus sticks to a very strict schedule to meet deadlines. "We have a track record of converting films in record time and with the right visual effects. What also helps is the abundance of resources that we have at our disposal. On any given project, we would have anywhere between 400 and 450 artistes," exults Jones. A three-month window is usually kept for every project so as to allow time for final stage testing and checking footage in detail. Jones reveals that The Wizard of Oz (1939) took nearly 14 months from the early stages where the character design was mapped out on paper, which alone took 10 weeks.
On the whole, it's been a satisfying journey, what with hours, days, weeks and months of hard work being put in.
Every project has been unique. Jones recalls doing a lot of stereo renders on Avatar and helping director James Cameron with stereo aspects as well. "Whatever Cameron shot, we worked alongside the stereographers of his team to bring out the best visual result, and were commended for our dedicated efforts," he says. Working on Transformers alongside Michael Bay and Cory Turner was equally enjoyable, and "Working on Star Wars was a personal high as it is one of my favourite movie franchises. Working with Lucasfilm was a great experience as they have really been doing some great work in the field of advanced technology used in movies," he says.
Jones is excited about his current projects which includes Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. About the sequel to Sin City, he says, "We are doing all the special effects for the film and the concept, design and executing the visual effects, apart from doing all the stereo effects."
Ask him about 3D vs. 2D and he says it all depends on how much thought has really gone into the making of the 3D film. He gives the example of Cameron who was dead sure his film would be in 3D even before starting work on it, which is why he ensured the best use of technology. Ditto for Gravity, which took months of pre-production and visualizing a posse of camera angles and shots before getting made in 3D.
"The idea is to offer an immersive experience for the viewer. That said, if the film is first shot in 2D and then converted into 3D, it doesn't necessarily lose out on a great 3D proposition. What is required is a great stereographer who can visualise and find those places that can be used to enhance the 3D effect in the film and bring about an immersive experience. The idea is never to look like a gag for the audience by just throwing things at them in the theatres, but to give them a memory of taking back an experience, not just a movie," sums up Jones. He is quick to add however that a good 3D effect can never make a bad movie get a good review; "You need to have a good script in place and each aspect of the film needs to be rock solid for great BO and critical acclaim," Jones ends.

If you thought this looked like motorcycle chopped in half you wouldn't be far off! The KTM Unicycle is an all-electric, one-wheeled wonder that utilizes current gyroscopic tech to stay balanced. It really does look like half a normal KTM with its signature bright orange bodywork, thick sportbike tire, lights and handlebars. More nimble than a Segway (and made with less material), you can scoot around, dodge pedestrians, cars and other obstacles like a pro!
