China sentences veteran rights activist to 13 years' prison
BEIJING (AP) — China on Wednesday sentenced a veteran pro-democracy campaigner to 13 years in prison on vaguely defined subversion charges, one day after releasing the widow of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate after eight years of house arrest.
The People's Intermediate Court in the central city of Wuhan announced the sentencing of Qin Yongmin, whose activism dates back four decades, on its official website Wednesday. No further details were given and it was not immediately clear who was representing Qin in court.
On Tuesday, authorities allowed Liu Xia, wife of the late Nobel Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, to depart for Germany in response to what the Chinese Foreign Ministry called her own request to receive medical treatment. Liu had been held under house arrest since late 2010.
Coming during a visit by China's Premier Li Keqiang to Germany, Liu's release heartened foreign governments and human rights campaigners, who pointed out that she had never been charged with or convicted of any crime.
Qin's sentencing, however, underscores China's hard line against anyone challenging the ruling Communist Party, which under leader Xi Jinping has launched the most sweeping crackdown on civil rights in years.
Having already spent more than two decades in detention, Qin was arrested most recently in 2015 but not tried until May this year. The 64-year-old became active in the pro-democracy movement in the late 1970s during a time of political opening, and was arrested for the first time in 1981 in the ensuing Communist Party crackdown on dissent, according to the group Chinese Human Rights Defenders.
Reached by phone, Qin's former lawyer, Ma Lianshun, called the ruling "completely illegal" and a violation of the constitution's guarantee of the right to free speech. He said the charges appeared to relate to writings Qin had posted online and published outside China.
"It is not a criminal activity. He was discussing the road that China can take and the corresponding methodology, which is within the boundary of his right to speech," Ma said.
Ma said his firm ceased representing Qin on July 10, 2017, due to the sensitivity of his case. A three-year campaign against legal activists that landed scores in detention has frightened many lawyers from taking on such causes.
His sentence is "a reminder that Xi Jinping's brutal crackdown on human rights continues," said Frances Eve, a researcher with Chinese Human Rights Defenders. Authorities denied Qin a fair trial, Eve said, proceeding with a hearing in May despite the man's poor health.
"The litany of abuses in his case, ranging from enforced disappearance, prolonged pre-trial detention, collective punishment of his wife, ill-treatment, and denied due process rights reinforces that there is still no rule of law in China," Eve said.
Qin's sentence also comes just a day after the EU and China concluded a human rights dialogue. In a statement sent Wednesday, the EU said that during the two-day talks, it emphasized the "deteriorating situation of civil and political rights in China, which has been accompanied by the detention and conviction of a significant number of Chinese human rights defenders."
Also Wednesday, the director of China's most prominent independent economic research group said it has been evicted from an apartment it used as an office.
The Unirule Institute of Economics, which advocates for market-style economics and constitutional democracy, has been repeatedly harassed by communist authorities. Its website and social media accounts were shut down in January.
On Tuesday, Unirule's landlord locked its employees out of the apartment even though the group has a lease through 2020, said Sheng Hong. He said the landlord has been demanding the group move out, but he suspected Chinese authorities were behind the pressure.
"It might be that some Chinese ideology departments don't like our views and research," said Sheng, who co-founded Unirule in 1993. "It is fine for them to dislike our articles and studies, but there should be different voices in society and it is supposed to be protected by the constitution."
The group has published reports that say major Chinese state-owned companies are unprofitable and receive large public subsidies.
Unirule has also championed freedom of expression and due process and conducted symposiums on sensitive subjects such as the Chinese civil war that brought the communists to power in 1949.
"Never before has Unirule been so alone in its fight for liberty in China, and the rule of law so jeopardized by the authorities that ordered such heinous act," said a statement on the group's Twitter account.

Calamagrostis brachytricha is a clump-forming grass with bright green leaves reaching about 2 feet. In late summer blooms emerge with a pink tint and reach 3 to 4 feet. The feathery flowers fade to cream in fall and finish in a straw color in winter. A graceful addition to the shade or part shade garden! One of the few flowering grasses that is happy in the shade. Wonderful for cut flowers.

Height3 Feet
Spread3 Feet
Bloom ColorGreen
USDA Hardiness Zone 5-9
This species of reed grass is a slowly-spreading, clump-forming grass which features a mound of narrow, stiff, green leaves (1/4 to 5/8" wide) typically growing to 2' tall and as wide. Pinkish tinged flower plumes appear in late summer atop stems rising well above the foliage clump to 4' tall. Plumes mature to a light tan as the seeds ripen, but tend to disintegrate by early winter. Foliage turns yellowish beige in fall. Also sometimes sold C. arundinacea var. brachytricha. Also sometimes commonly called foxtail grass, feather reed grass or Korean feather reed grass in reference to the feathery flower/seed plumes. - Missouri Botanical Garden
C. brachytricha is tolerant of a wide range of soils and growing conditions, including shade, but adequate moisture is necessary if grown in full sun. Propagate by seed or division of clumps every few years. Cut stems down to the ground in early springbefore newgrowth occurs. Most effective as a specimen, in containers or perennial border.

The article describes a variant on the usual public services blackmail, in that the police administrators are holding junior, beat officers hostage to protect bloated, unsustainable pensions and benefits for desk drivers.PDB predicts anarchy in the East Bay. Well, more anarchy than usual.

"...protect bloated unsustainable pensions..." aye - for LOTS of folks; legislators, school district administrators et al.
Too bad there's not a "line-item veto" for payroll and pension expenditures; imagine if we could give raises to the street cops and good classroom teachers at the expense of the desk-warmin pogues!

A law is like a security camera: just because it's there doesn't mean it's doing anything useful. I'm not comfortable calling it "extortion". It's more like the people getting exactly what they demanded out of government: more rules than can possibly be enforced, with less than the minimum man power to do the job. (Don't ask about the appropriate level of manpower--you can't afford it.)
Remember folks, it not about the minimum government to protect the rights of people--and optimal, peaceful cooperation within the Union--it's about a person's own selfish demands, and gaining the favor of a massive, corrupt kakistocracy so you can fuck over your fellow citizen--regardless of whether or not anything he has any effect on your life from 2,000 miles away. Well, Dr. Franklin, what have we got? A republic, if you're really loose with words.
Pensions: created as an apology for crippling income taxes, and based on the assumption that the entity which is paying now will exist in the future. Just like gambling, except you have no choice, and when you lose you starve in the dark.
Next up: GSEs introduce the inter-glacial term mortgage, to continue the illusion that real property is "affordable", and not inflated by purposeful market distortions for the purposes of collecting large sums of property tax.

Parts of Oakland are barely "civil" now, after the layoffs - welcome to the jungle!
I was born in Oakland (over 40 years ago), my grandparents lived there for many - many years. I've seen it change from a place you could enjoy a nice day uneventfully with a family, to a place with neighborhoods named "the murders" and the like.
The police are overworked to the point that they will not even pretend to investigate gang on gang violence now, what's next indeed. . .

Please. The US hasn't been trying to do even the APPEARANCE of "Guns and butter" since Ronald Reagan left office. A lot of money has been spent on the war, but incomparison to the socialist programs and ESPECIALLY when considered against previous wartime budgets, this war is being fought on the cheap.
Right now, the socialists are STILL underfunding the military -- but they are not letting the costs of war slow their stampede to cash rubber checks. If Bush was spending like a drunken sailor while the Republicans had control of Congress (trying to fight the war, while trying to buy support, or at least, non-aggression, from teh DNC by signing off on their social program), then Obama (with a two year head start by Pelosi/Reid) have been spending money like a whole FLEET of drunken sailors.
As for the wonders of the Nazi economy. . . under the economic policies of fascism (you know, the economic policies that most closely map to the Democratic party in the US since the 1960s? that variant of socialism where private ownership is allowed, but public control in maintained?), they already HAD shifted to a higher level of "war economy" by 1939 than the US is on today.
Which is still very irrelevant -- the German economy SUCKED at the beginning of the war, and they started faking a "war economy" increase by loot (one way to get "guns and butter" is to steal both guns and butter from your neighbors, while continuing to buy your own at the same rate as before).
Of course, looking at econmies as "Guns or Butter" ONLY works for centrally organized economies. So, if you are in a free market society (as opposed to the various flavors of communism, socialism, or fascism), this trite saying isn't really appropriate.
The current economic situation is caused in GREAT part to government intervention in a market where they forced businesses to make poor business decisions since long before Bush took office or 9/11 took place. You can thank teh Democrats for that -- and for refusing to even admit there was a problem when Bush and the RNC spent YEARS trying to get them to tighten the reins on the fascist vote buying mortgage policies of the Democrats.
I'm really uncertain what your point is, other than you think the 21st Century US ought to run its economy more like Nazi Germany did in the middle of losing a war due to economic pressures. . . (I have to state "Nazi" Germany to differenciate, since Germany hasn't won a war since 1870.)

Well, technically, "Germany" hasn't EVER won a war. . . some Gemran states and collections of German states won wars, but since the Second Reich was declared in 1871. . . no victories.

Published 12/30/2003
Using hardware furnished by Sun Microsystems Inc. and the open-source Rocks Cluster Management software, a research team at last month's Supercomputing conference in Phoenix assembled one of the world's fastest computers in less than 2 hours. RockStar, a 128-node Sun Fire V60x configuration, achieved the rank of 201 on the list of the Top 500 Supercomputer Sites when the updated list was announced at that event.
Following the conference, eWEEK Labs met with personnel from Sun and from the San Diego Supercomputer Center, home base for the Rocks initiative. Clark Masters, Sun's executive vice president for enterprise systems products, sees the growing use of clusters as a strategic fit with Sun's technologies.
When it comes to processor power, Masters told eWEEK, "80 percent of the performance is achieved with 50 percent of the die size. The other 50 percent is used for out-of-order execution, look-ahead and ancillary stuff to get that other 20 percent."
The better idea, said Masters, "is to do a simpler chip implementation and replicate that: In the same socket, you get more powerful computing." The strong multithreading performance of Sun's Solaris completes the picture, he said.
Sun's forthcoming UltraSPARC IV-with two UltraSPARC III cores on a single die-also illustrates his point. "We own all the key technology pieces," Masters continued, "so you can come at the problem from a system perspective instead of just a microprocessor perspective."
Masters said he believes there is renewed interest in U.S. leadership of high-performance computing, with its critical roles in research and industry as well as defense.
"Government interest was heightened when Japan brought on the Earth Simulator as the most powerful computer in the world," he said. "The view inside defense, intelligence and industry is that for national security, the U.S. must maintain computational superiority-it's part of our historical advantage."
Part of that strength, Masters was quick to add, is in the vigor of open-source efforts. "The No. 1 contributor to open source on the planet is [the University of California,] Berkeley, and the No. 2 contributor is Sun," he said. "We have [made] a lot of our code open, and all the stuff with OpenOffice.org and all those sorts of things. We're going to bring that power to the Linux community."
Masters stressed Sun's intention that Solaris will coexist with Linux in every way that meets its customers' needs.
"We're doing Linux with Solaris extensions, and we're [offering] Solaris with Linux extensions that make us as compatible as moving from Red Hat to SuSE-or even moving from one version of Red Hat to another," he said. "And applications today are at another level of abstraction, the application server or Java. More use of Linux on Opteron is just a growth opportunity for Sun, as opposed to eroding our strength."
The Rocks work begins with a Red Hat Inc. Red Hat Linux foundation, which Masters called a "customer choice" for loosely coupled parallel processing applications.
Rocks lets administrators define a collection of roles, said Rocks team member Greg Bruno. "We want to make clusters easy," Bruno added.
Bruno and his colleagues have their eye on the combined power of all registered Rocks sites, now nearing 40 teraflops-that's the throughput of the Earth Simulator, which the growing worldwide aggregate of Rocks clusters will soon exceed.

The JRC Defender Bivvy comes under the beady eye of Angler's Mail tackle editor Richard Howard. He's the No.1 products inspector, checking out loads of quality kit every week.
IF YOU'RE looking for a practical, no nonsense bivvy that won't break the bank, I'd recommend you take a look at the JRC Defender Bivvy and Wrap.
It's based on a two-rib, five-section, pole system, using 16 mm, lightweight aluminium poles, with tension bars included.
The cover is made from PU coated polyester, with a respectable 5,000 mm waterproof rating.
I like the fact that you can roll back the front of the bivvy to open it up, using the buckle retainers on the sides.
It comes with a two-way, letterbox-style, door system, with green, clear or mozzi mesh window options.
The seams are taped, the pegging points are reinforced, and it is supplied with a tough, lightweight groundsheet.
For extra protection and insulation, and to reduce the chance of condensation in the cold and damp, there's the option of a Defender Bivvy Wrap.
The 'wings' of the wrap provide that little bit of extra storage space, perfect for boots and buckets.
It comes in a one-man or two-man format.
One-man £159.99. Wrap £89.99.
Two-man £179.99. Wrap £99.99.

By: Hassan Al-Haifi
The current War in Sa'ada Governorate, Yemen, which started as a war between the followers of the people of Sa'ada led by the Zeidi leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi and the suspicious hard-line Wahhabi settlers in Dammaj, who are a hodgepodge of foreign and local Wahhabis gathered there to supposedly study the traditions of the Prophet Mohammed and seem to eventually settle there permanently (Some "students" have been there for 2 decaedes, which would make them candidates for two Ph.Ds at least. This is just another camp to train Al-Qaeda type terrorists to carry out attacks in Yemen and elsewhere, as many residents of Sa'ada continuously insist. The truth of the matter is that there are no libraries or archives in Dammaj for keeping the sayings and doings of the Prophet Mohammed, but rather there is a closed complex of terrorist training facilities, fortifications and tunnels used to make sure that no one enters the complex and to set out launching sites for expansion of the encampment to absorb other adjoining lands and houses taken from the indigenous people of Sa'ada. The methods used to establish these so called "Salafi" settlements remind one of how the Israeli kibbutzim were set up in Palestine, in the early days of the Zionist encroachment into the Holy Land. The religious school in Dammaj was set up with Saudi Arabian funding by the late Moqbil Al-Wadi'I, a hard-line Salafi "Imam" and teacher, who regarded all Shia'a Moslems as infidels, who deserve to be killed and looted of all their possessions. The indigenous population of Sa'ada are Zeidis, a small but enduring Moslem sect, which is more Sunni than it is Shi'ah, but nevertheless strongly despised by the Saudi Wahhabi religious establishment. About a year ago the Salafis in Dammaj started to attack neighboring villages of indigenous Sa'ada residents. The followers and supporters of the Wahhabi sect in Yemen (Salafis, Islah Party, Hashid Tribal leaders led by the offspring of the late Abdullah Bin Hussein Al-Ahmar, especially Hussein, not to mention some Yemeni military brass, led by General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, former Commander of the First Armored Division and the Northwest Military Axis) all decided to advance the cause of these Dammaj settlers. The Dammaj settlers are recruited from Wahhabi schools throughout the world from Europe, Russia, Africa and other centers of Wahhabi nurturing. All these are in essence fighting a proxy war on behalf of the Saudis, who are staunch enemies of the Houthis, especially after the military setbacks of Saudi forces during the Sixth War of Sa'ada in 2011/2012, in which the Saudis directly involved their forces to create a buffer between the Saudi border and "push back the Houthis" ten kilometers, even if at the expense of destroying all the means of livelihood for the people of Sa'ada. The Saudis claim that Hizb-Allah of Lebanon and the Houthis represent a dangerous vice that could be used by Iran to crush Saudi Arabia. Realistically, however, the Houthis are far from enjoying the Iranian support given to Hizb-Allah. The Houthis seem to manage well with substantial quantities of military gear and ammunition taken from Yemeni and Saudi forces in the last war and the previous five wars waged against them by the regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh from 2004 to 2012. Many foreign settlers in Dammaj have been killed and many governments have warned their citizens from joining in a far away struggle that does not have anything to do with them. Although there is strong propaganda to try to picture the Zeidis of Yemen as "Shi'ahs" like the Iranians and Iraqis, the truth of the matter is that there are substantial differences. In either case, because of the Wahhabi inclination to regard anyone not belonging to their following as infidels, the Wahhabis regard the Zeidis as sanctified for the taking in terms of blood and belongings.
In looking back at Islamic history, it is worth noting that despite the existence of some sectarian associations among Moslems, it goes without saying that followers of the different sectarian orientations have never waged wars between the different followers of Islamic sects, nor have any followers of Islam sanctified the blood of other Moslems of different sects, until the teachings of Mohammed Bin Abdul Wahhab were propagated about two and a half centuries from Najd, Saudi Arabia. The Ottomans put an end to Wahhabi assaults against people throughout Arabia, the Fertile Crescent and Pilgrims coming to Mecca and literally drove them and their Saudi leaders and Wahhabi clerics out of their stronghold in Dir'iya, a closed citadel of Wahhabi clerics and institutions, south of Riyadh, thus ending the First Saudi State. British intelligence rearmed the exiled Wahhabis, who had settled in Kuwait for almost a century, and sent them back to Nejd and the current Saudi regime became established in Riyadh. The Saud family and the Al Al-Sheikh clan (descendants of Mohammed Abdul Wahhab) jointly rule Saudi Arabia and share its abundant oil revenue wealth. The Saudi regime expended well over US $ 200 Billion to propagate the Wahhabi creed throughout the world and support extremist institutions and terrorist activities over the last forty years or so. This was done under various clandestine and covert operations, including "philanthropic and charity" organizations like the Moslem World League and Saudi intelligence or hired intelligence (Pakistani, Egyptian and other countries, including the Central Intelligence Agency, during the Afghani war against the Soviets). The Jihadist groups are given exaggerated credit for ending the occupation of Afghanistan, a feat, which really goes to the credit of the Azbuki fighters led by Ahmed Shah Masoud (killed by the Wahhabis on the eve of 9/11!) and General Abdul-Rashid Dustum) and other non-Wahhabi Jihadists, rather than the Jihadists of the Wahhabi genre. Saudi heavily financed propaganda helped to spread this misleading misreading of the Afghan War.
Yemen also became a fertile ground for spreading Wahhabi culture and out of this propagation of Wahhabi inclinations, which began in the Seventies of the last century. came the Islah Party and several splinter Al-Qaeda groups (Ansar Al-Sharia'ah, Al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, etc.). The Saudis continue to strongly support these groups and all activities against the Houthis with substantial financial grants to some high ranking military and political officials "for opposing the Rejectionist Zeidis". The Wahhabis call all Shi'ah followers as "Rejectionists of the followers of the Sunnah". The Saudis continued to foment conflict in the area by prodding Salafis [settled in Dammaj and Kitaf (Northeast of Sa'ada)] to encroach upon Sa'ada residents near them and obviously this was bound to trigger a Houthi intervention to defend the Sa'ada residents, since the Yemeni Government refused or was unable to bring a halt to Salafi aggression and intimidation. The Saudis then recruited the Al-Ahmar family, led by Hameed Abdullah Al-Ahmar (billionaire businessman and warlord and the younger Hussein Al-Ahmar to join the fight with the Salafis. On the Government side, the Saudis prodded their high ranking military and political (Islah) officials to join the fight to save the "helpless peaceful families of Dammaj, who were facing a massacre" by the Houthis. The Houthis did not attempt to assault any of the two Salafi settlements, but rather besieged them to avoid any military supplies from reaching the two camps. But the Wahhabis worked night and day to picture the Dammaj residents as helpless unarmed "students" studying the traditions of the Prophet Mohammed and other corny manifestations of humanitarian sentiment. Hussein Al-Ahmar began to recruit tribal and non-tribal fighters to fight under his command against the Houthis. As the anti Houthi campaign got more military in nature and as the Al-Ahmar mercenaries imposed an indiscriminate siege against Sa'ada Governorate, and some of Amran Governorate, where there are Houthi followers, the Houthis decided to take the initiative and it was not long before the Houthis inflicted substantial defeats against the Salafis and the Al-Ahmar militias. The President of Yemen, Abdu-Rabbo Mansour Hadi set up a committee to disengage the fighters, which became activated every time the Houthis made critical advances against this hodgepodge mixture of mercenaries and misled military elements of the Islah Party. The Houthis responded favorably with every intermediation efforts. Once the Al-Ahmars and Salafis were able to cut loose and reinforce their positions, they went back again to their old aggressive activities, cutting roads and harassing and intimidating Sa'ada residents and Houthi followers wherever they found them. The Houthis finally took over the Kitaf Settlement and completely destroyed all the fortifications and tunnels built by the peaceful "students of Hadith, or Prophetic Traditions" and captured substantial arms and weapons, including homemade bombs and other ordnances used in terrorist attacks. The settlers were relocated by their Wahhabi supporters elsewhere in Yemen. When the Houthis finally attacked the Wadi Khaiwan fortifications built by the Al-Ahmars against them and cleaned all the valley from Ahmars and Wahhabis, the Al-Ahmars accepted a truce and not soon after that, reinforcements and weapons began to be rushed to the Al-Ahmars including tanks and armored vehicles illegally taken out of Yemeni military warehouses. The heavy military hardware (at least 10 tanks, and 10 armored personnel carriers and other vehicles and military personnel were reported turned over to the Al-Ahmars and their allies). This could not have been consummated unless it was with the orders of General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, long time backer of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh turned "dissenter" during the Yemeni peaceful revolution of 2011. The General (well beyond retirement age) still wields considerable influence in the military, despite having been removed from his former command positions. The latter is also giving orders to military commanders in Al-Jouf Governorate to facilitate and establish camps for Al-Qaeda and Salafi militants moved over from foreign Wahhabi centers, from Shabwa and other Southern Governorates.
How long will the recent truce last will be rapidly determined by the disloyal efforts of the not so "dismissed" General and the Al-Ahmars to spread the conflict to other Governorates and involving more foreign and local mercenaries. The Saudis must be paying substantial amounts to fund this needless and senseless war, which is not doing any good for Yemen's already very dismal and disorderly conditions in all political, military, administrative, economic and social fronts. With a weak government and a helpless President, brought to power by an almost useless Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative, there is no light yet at the end of the tunnel for the Yemeni people. With no power centers to rely on to back President Hadi's positions or moves, it is impossible to picture what this political formula can achieve to bring Yemen out of its largely chaotic situation, while embezzlers, killers and blackmailers (most of who are holdovers from the Saleh regime) continue to sell their lucrative but destructive schemes to anyone here or overseas paying the highest price.

In 2005, Indiana University overhauled its curriculum to teach an atoms-first general chemistry in a 1:2:1 sequence. Our constant struggle is teaching the requisite subjects in one semester in an atoms-first approach while making the labs work seamlessly. Since we are teaching 1:2:1, we employ an entrance exam; hence, students do need to know something about chemistry upon taking the course – is it truly atoms-first, or are we cheating? Whatever you call it, initial evidence indicates that it works from a student perspective and the number of majors has almost doubled. Our challenges are unique due to combining a one-semester, atoms-first approach and we are evaluating its impact on the major's classes later on in the curriculum. The complex web of successes and challenges in both lecture and lab will be addressed.

It's the first time in FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship that the Asians start with three wins from their first three matches. Thus Iran secured a place in Round 2 while Cuba, still without a point, is getting closer to the elimination.Searching for an inspiration Cuba head coach Nicolas Vives Coffigny made two changes in the line-up as Livan Osoria and Osniel Melgarejo got their first starts of the championship.

Tied at 7-7 the Asian Games champions won six of the next eight points. Searching for a quick turnaround Cubans played with even more risks on serve and failed to even put the ball in play. Trailing by eight points head coach Coffigny raised the white flag substituting Gutierrez. 25-18 for Iran to draw level on the strength of their excellent block – 6 points out of 12 attempts.It was point for point in the third set until a key video challenge. Cubans thought they had tied at 19-19. However Iran coach Igor Kolakovic challenged for a net touch. And he was correct. Iran never looked back and with team's first ace of the match setter Mir Saeid Marouf closed the set at 25-22.Young Cubans fought brave in the fourth as well but after second technical break Iran went on a 5-1 run to secure the win.Amir Ghafour led Iran scorers with 14 points.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The freezing weather that has gripped much of the nation really hit home with Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.
Bentley said Wednesday that his private home in Tuscaloosa has an estimated $50,000 in damage after a water pipe froze and burst in the attic during the severe cold snap that spread all the way to Florida.
Bentley says the water damaged ceilings, walls, carpets and hardwood floors, all of which have to be replaced.
But Bentley said he's got good homeowner's insurance, so he and his wife, Dianne, are looking at their misfortune as a chance to update the house.
Bentley is a retired dermatologist who practiced medicine for years before being elected governor.
Burst pipes are a common problem in extremely cold weather.

Essential Information
People pursuing a career in merchandise marketing can earn an associate's degree in marketing or a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a marketing concentration. At both degree levels, students gain fundamental knowledge of marketing practices and principles, including how to analyze consumer trends and promote and conduct sales, even through e-commerce. Associate's degrees require two years of study, while bachelor's degrees take four years. A bachelor's degree program in business administration offers courses in business fundamentals such as finance and management in addition to marketing.
Both degree levels require a high school diploma or equivalent. In some cases, schools also have minimum GPA and standardized test score requirements. Additionally, some bachelor's degree programs require prior coursework in statistics and computer applications.
Associate's Degree in Marketing
A marketing associate's degree program teaches students the principles of marketing and how consumer trends, sales promotion and distribution of merchandise are handled. Students learn to use research data to make the right marketing decisions for particular products. Emphasis is placed on Internet e-marketing and on how social networks are used to virally promote merchandise.
Students take general education courses in subjects such as English composition, mathematics, and humanities. Merchandising and marketing electives are selected from approved courses. A typical associate's degree program is 107 credits. Coursework includes:
- Consumer behavior and principles of marketing
- Retail merchandising
- Microeconomics
- Web, electronic and database marketing
- Principles of logistics
- Principles and practices of customer service and Internet customer service
Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (Marketing)
The marketing concentration in a business bachelor's degree program emphasizes policy studies and personnel management. Quality and supply management for merchandise are examined. Students learn to make decisions in negotiating, purchasing, promoting, logistics and inventory. Emerging issues in marketing, particularly as they relate to new technologies, are considered.
Students applying for admission into the bachelor's degree program must have associate's degrees in marketing or closely-related fields. Some schools require proven proficiency in statistics and computer applications.
Mathematics study is emphasized in merchandise marketing programs, and students learn interpretation of consumer research data for analyzing problems. Students receive an introduction to international marketing. Coursework may include the following:
- Statistics and management science
- Import and export financing
- Organizational behavior
- Global marketing and international economy
- Business finance and communications
- Information systems and applications
Popular Careers
An associate's degree in marketing helps the graduate obtain entry-level positions in merchandise marketing; graduates may find work as assistant buyers, purchasing clerks, merchandise sales trainees, or merchandising representatives. However, job applicants with a bachelor's degree in marketing may have more opportunities and an ability to advance more quickly.
Salary Info and Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, www.bls.gov), the employment of market research analysts, including merchandise marketing professionals, is expected to grow by about 20% between 2018 and 2028. The employment of advertising, promotions and marketing managers, however, is expected to grow by 8% during the same time frame. Those individuals with higher-level degrees in merchandise marketing will have better opportunities for higher-paid positions, as the BLS notes that a bachelor's degree, at a minimum, is required to work as a market research analyst. Merchandise managers earned a median annual salary of $60,741 in March of 2020, according to PayScale.com.
Continuing Education
Employers usually prefer to hire candidates with bachelor's degrees for management positions in merchandise marketing. Those employed as merchandise managers typically take continuing education courses and seminars in order to advance or hone their skills.
Merchant managers can either be market research analysts or advertising, promotions and marketing managers. To enter in one of these careers you either need an associate's degree in marketing or a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration.

Silence of the North
My new book expresses my fascination of the natural world and it brings together my favourite photographs from my many trips and expeditions to the nordic countries. Besides the many photos, I also share some of my thoughts, and I do my very best to describe the beauty and silence I find in nature.

Received this book with great anticipation, and it definitely didn't disappoint! The photos are incredibly beautiful, and when you read the text it transports you and you feel like you are part of the experience. If you love nature, the outdoors, and photography, this is definitely the book for you. Thank you.

This book is really nice
Silence of the NorthJürgen Sch.
The book is very impressive and highly recommended. All pictures were taken in wintertime in Denmark and Greenland. They do not live from intense colours or shrill sensations, but from very intimate and peaceful moments in nature, reduced to the essential and without any dispensable or distracting detail.
Most pictures are long-lens shots of animals and show very intimate and atmospheric moments. The pictures tell a story and let us participate in a brief moment of the portrayed animal at its daily struggle for surviving the hard wintertime. Such pictures can only be made by a person who does not only love nature, but has a deep understanding of the portrayed animals, a lot of patience, and the skills to survive the extreme Greenland winter. My favourite wildlife picture is the one with the washy, light-grey silhouette of a musk ox standing like a monument in a misty, white-out landscape. This moment captured must have been very impressive!
The book includes, apart from only a few landscape pictures, also a number of simplistic close-ups and very intimate woodland cut-outs, often softened by mist or falling snow flakes causing a dreamlike atmosphere. These are my favourite pictures, presumably because as an amateur landscape photographer I am inspired, whereas such wildlife photography is by far out of my reach and capabilities.
This book is one of those rare books which I can page through again and again, without getting tired. Unfortunately, I always get the strong feeling that I should immediately lay the book aside, quit my job, and become a professional landscape photographer. Unfortunately, life is not that easy…

A beautiful collection of inspiring wildlife photography. I keep going back to it and looking at the photographs. I recommend this collection highly.
Silence of the NorthAndrew
I don't buy many books by other photographers, but this is well worth the exception. It is a beautifully done book, of course showing Mr. Hilmer's stunning photographs. Both the photos and the presentation really capture the feeling of the Arctic. The very high quality production means that this book lives on my coffee table for everyone to see.

Absolutely stunning book. Pure inspiration. Over a nice wine, a beautiful read, and to study the images in detail. Simply stunning work.

Beautiful photos.
Silence of the NorthSteve Marson
Absolutely stunning images ….. and really captures the remoteness, harshness and beauty of the landscape and the hardy creatures that survive in it. The picture quality and printing is top class …. and so much better than images online or even in your fantastic videos. A great addition to any photographer or wildlife lovers library. Highly recommended.

Here goes:
- Over-the-Air Rogue APs - if it's not on your wired network, it's NOT a "Rogue AP" so let's start calling them Neighboring APs so we all know what someone is talking about rather than having to inquire each and every time someone mentions a rogue for clarification. And let's reserve using the term Rogue APs for when unauthorized APs are on the internal wired network.
Correct Term: Neighboring APs
- Co-Channel Interference (CCI) - APs and clients that are operating on the same channel don't cause interference with one another, they contend for the same airtime and backoff if another one is transmitting. This is distinctly different from interference where a transmission cannot be properly decoded because the receiver can't distinguish the valid signal from noise.
Correct Term: Co-Channel Contention (CCC)
- Collision - okay, here is one that most of you may not have really thought deeply about. Collisions don't actually happen on wireless networks (not in the traditional wired network meaning of the term 'collision'). Instead, the receiver simply cannot properly decode a valid signal because it can't distinguish it from the surrounding noise with the precision required by the modulation used.
Correct Term: Interference
- Coverage Area - most Wi-Fi professionals refer to an APs coverage area as the physical area in which they intend for clients to connect to the AP, usually with an associated signal strength (such as -67dBm). However, the RF signal actually keeps going and can cause co-channel contention (see what I did there!) over a much larger area (usually out to a signal strength of around -85dBm). So, to refer to the area in which we expect clients to connect to the AP based on an RF design let's start using a different term such as Association Area and leave the term Coverage Area to refer to the area where CCC occurs.
Correct Term: Association Area
- AES versus TKIP - this one is easy to get wrong, even for Wi-Fi professionals! Many times we interchangeably use AES, TKIP, and WEP to refer to the encryption on the wireless network. However, in so doing we confuse encryption protocols with cipher suites. For accuracy we should always mention like for like. CCMP, TKIP and WEP are all encryption protocols that we configure for a wireless network. Each of those protocols use a cipher suite to accomplish the heavy lifting: CCMP uses AES, TKIP uses RC4, and WEP uses RC4. Thanks to George Stefanick for bringing this up.
Correct Term(s): Reference protocols (CCMP, TKIP, WEP) or ciphers (AES, RC4) but don't use them interchangeably
- 802.1x - I see this all the time in written material to refer to the IEEE 802.1X Port Based Network Access Control. Unfortunately, it should be used with capital letter 'X' since it is a (standalone) standard, whereas lowercase letters refer to amendments to standards (see here). So, whenever you reference it use the correct capitalization (802.1X).
Correct Term: 802.1X
- WAP - many people use this term to refer to an access point and it's just annoying. It's just AP people. Referring to it as wireless AP (WAP) is just redundant.
Correct Term: AP
- Antenna Gain in Decibels (dB) - many people refer to antenna gain in dB, which is incorrect. Decibels (dB) alone is a relative measurement and requires a point of reference. Instead, you should refer to antenna gain referencing either an isotropic radiator (dBi) or less commonly referenced to a standard dipole antenna (dBd). This establishes the absolute reference point for the measurement which actually gives it meaning.
Correct Term(s): dBi or dBd
- 802.11b 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps Data Rates - do you reference all of the lower data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps as 802.11b? If you do, you've been using this amendment name incorrectly. The original 802.11 standard (802.11-1997) defined the 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates as part of the DSSS PHY, as is generally referred to as 802.11 Prime. Then in 1999, along came the 802.11b amendment which added the 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates as part of the HR-DSSS PHY. So, to be correct, when talking about 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates you should reference 802.11-Prime (not 802.11b).
Correct Term: 802.11 Prime (or 802.11-1997)
- 5 GHz Signals Attenuate Faster than 2.4 GHz Signals - it's common for many Wi-Fi professionals and writers to state that 5 GHz signals attenuates faster than 2.4 GHz signals in order to describe the common symptom that 5 GHz has less effective coverage area. However, this too is incorrect in most circumstances. 5 GHz signals attenuate through free space at the same rate as 2.4 GHz signals according to the FSPL (free space path loss) formula; it is not directly dependent on the frequency of the signal. Instead, the construction of the receiving antenna is a fractional multiple of the frequency to which it is tuned. This makes a standard 1/4 wavelength antenna for 2.4 GHz longer than a 1/4 wavelength antenna for 5 GHz, which causes a difference in antenna aperture. To put it simply, a 2.4 GHz antenna has a larger aperture than a similar 5 GHz antenna and can "capture" more of the signal as it passes by the antenna element.
Correct Term: 5 GHz Antennas Have Smaller Apertures

FaceBook Experiment:
FaceBook is a great platform to market your business. As I was searching for some Youtube videos to post on my FaceBook timeline for my friends to see and share, I decided to do something funny. I wanted to see how many people would click a link in my description above the video. TheFaceBook experiment is not to post any kind of link, but a link with a certain call to action.
I used my link shortener at pantika.us to create the link. I thought I would create a link with a call to action like:
– http://pantika.us/ClickHereNow
– http://pantika.us/ClickMeIfYouDare
– http://pantika.us/PleaseClickMe
There are many options, but I decided to try:
– http://pantika.us/DoNotClickThisLink
And how many people do you think disobeyed?
17 people clicked the link. I told them not to click, but they did!! And that's 17 visitors to my squeeze page in just a few seconds. And also one sign-up to my list. Not bad.
People always have a tendency to break the rules, you tell them not to do something and they do it. You tell them not to use FaceBook during work hours in the office for example, and they do it… Curiosity is certainly playing a big role as well.
I'll certainly do more FaceBook experiment in the future.
FaceBook Experiment:
I came across an article: "20 Things I Learned from Living Facebook" and this is a great Facebook experiment for you to read
1. Facebook Isn't Shallow: True, Facebook is a bit like a community lacking any art, poetry, religion or strong democratic institutions. However, it is only as shallow as most public places.
We don't typically have counseling sessions in the grocery store or philosophical arguments in a public restroom. Why would Facebook be different in its public format.

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 16, 2010-Hyundai Motor Company, the fastest-growing automotive company by brand, saw its brand value increase by 9.3 percent from a year earlier in the Best Global Brands 2010 by Interbrand, outperforming the industry's average growth rate.
Hyundai, which has been included in the Best Global Brands for six consecutive years, ranked No. 65 out of 100 brands this year, a steady increase from the No. 84 position in 2005. The growth rate of 9.3 percent this year significantly outperformed the industry's average growth rate of 2.8 percent.
"A deeper look into the change indicates that Hyundai has been successful in functional attributes such as quality and design, has a strong new vehicle line-up, and received substantial global exposure during the World Cup and Super Bowl. Hyundai's strategies have paid off," Interbrand said.
In fact, Hyundai's brand recognition was largely strengthened in major automotive markets such as China and the U.S., as well as emerging markets, thanks to the company's diverse market portfolio, high quality products and aggressive marketing activities. In the U.S., the all-new Sonata pushed Hyundai's sales volumes to a record, while in China, Hyundai doubled its sales in 2009 from the previous year.
Hyundai continues to make large investments in innovative marketing programs to enhance its brand power and will keep introducing new models that reflect its latest design identity, 'fluidic sculpture.'

PPC, Backwards and Forwards
In paid search, past performance isn't a true indicator of future results. Three ways to improve your chances of winning.
In paid search, past performance isn't a true indicator of future results. Three ways to improve your chances of winning.
Traditional Web analytics may give you the wrong signals, steering you to the wrong decisions about your PPC (define) search campaigns. Unfortunately, most marketers' decisions about marketing PPC and other on- and offline marketing campaigns are based purely on historical data. That's like driving in a race using an oversized rearview mirror. Sure, your mirror will tell you a little about the curves in the road and traffic's general position, but trying to drive competitively at high speed while looking behind is a formula for disaster.
My team and I have found that building on campaign data and overlaying marketing objectives results in a forward-thinking plan with a good chance of hitting these future objectives instead of getting mired in a scenario where positive change seems nearly impossible.
Yet Web analytics companies, ad tracking systems, engine-based analytics, and campaign management systems place a huge emphasis on what happened in the past. Fancy, high-sizzle interfaces reveal tons of information about keyword-level detail regarding CTR (define), conversion rate, and possibly revenue, profit margin, and whether the customer is new or returning. To win the race, in addition to looking forward at your objective, you must know who's next to you, especially in a heavy competition. In the competitive PPC environment, those next to you are bidders who in real time are sometimes ahead of you and sometimes behind. These bidders have a greater impact on your success than how your ad performed in the past.
No one can argue that a lot can be gleaned from prior data, particularly if data is analyzed on a macro level as well as on a keyword-by-keyword basis. Some bid management systems even draw analogies to how analytics from the stock market play a role in decision making. Unfortunately, like mutual finds and stocks, there's a limit to how predictive a model can be using purely archival historical information.
Indeed, historical data is a campaign strategy's foundation. But to truly win in an auction market, one must factor in real-time data and plan experiments that allow one to maneuver quickly as the marketplace changes. This requires testing and probing the markets for elasticity on high-volume keywords. This elasticity testing can be performed automated, manually, or by using some combination of both methods.
Don't Fixate on the Bids
Take a deep breath and remember what the bid is designed to accomplish. Higher bids are means to ends that include greater visibility, more clicks, and more business. But ROI (define), profit, and other success metrics restrain us from bidding to higher positions within our bid management systems. We fight with other marketers whose bids may be higher or lower than ours (given relative quality scores), regardless of whether these competitors are bidding rationally or not. Our objective is to determine how to raise our reserve price or otherwise give us an edge. Instead of fixating on the bids, we need to set an objective of raising our reserve price through conversion improvements or revenue/profitability improvements.
Enhance Conversion Rates
Use the data you have to plan a roadmap showing exactly how much lift in conversion rate you'll require to make a material change in position over time. For example, the results of your elasticity testing may indicate that a 32 percent increase in CPC (define) is required to jump two positions in the SERP (define). To keep ROI constant, you need to figure out how to raise conversion rates by 32 percent. Of course, the difference in lead or order volume produced by your listing being two positions higher in the SERP will be fairly dramatic, often double or more (particularly if you move from the right rail to the top). However, vigorously monitor conversion rates, because a jump to first position will sometimes reduce the rate. You might think that increasing your conversion rate by 32 percent would be challenging. Yet a conversion lift from 3 percent to 3.96 percent will get you there. If you can't find this kind of lift anywhere in your campaign, look at clusters where conversion is already there by geo or daypart.
Enhance Revenue and Profit
Conversion rate isn't your only leverage to a higher position. Profit or revenue enhancement works as well. Revenue enhancement can be driven by doing such simple things as changing your promotions. For instance, instead of offering free shipping at $50, make it free at $59 or $65. The average order size may jump, giving you immediate leverage in your bidding strategy. Once again, if you can't raise your revenue across the entire clickstream on high-potential keywords, consider a segmentation analysis.
In 2008, let's all resolve to plan and execute campaigns by looking forward, setting objectives, and determining milestones required to achieve these objectives. And don't forget to take the SEMPO State of the Market Survey.

An Honest review.
If you would like to hear the pros and cons scroll on down for are more indepth review of the case read on.
I chose this case for a number of reasons, it's aesthetically pleasing the tempered glass adds a really nice touch paired with aluminium side panels. Its also unique, its orientation in the upright position really gives this case presence in the room though not an overwhelming one whilst maintain a small footprint wether it lays beneath your home theatre system or standing guard on your favourite desk.
This being said the beauty of the Shift does come at a cost, Those being heat management whilst I can now achieve good gpu temps after adjusting fan profiles it will require additional fans and or replacement of the stock Phanteks 140mm fan, while not bad it just doesn't have the rated airflow to dump the hot air out of the case.
Cable management was challenging to say the least and I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to keeping things need and tidy, Stay clear of SFX-L units if you can while they are not impossible to install its a damb tight squeeze.
The only real thing that provided trouble was a slightly warped GPU bracket making it rather hellish to get my gpu to align correctly with the screw mounts so dinging a star for that one, also the Phanteks sticker on the case is rather trashy though easily solved.
PROS - Unique design - Aesthetically pleasing beautiful case - Build quality is excellent for price range - Many modification possibilities (I hope to fit a hard lined loop in this system)
CONS -Heat management -Incompatibility with some corsair sfx psu's -Difficulty installing SFX-L psu
Cable management is neutral for me whilst it was challenging to route everything the way I wanted I achieved the look I was after this is just the reality of sff systems.
Hope you enjoyed the review I recommend this case if you are strong willed and determined you will have the case of your dreams.

from completed build The Monolith! Ryzen 7, GTX 1080 TI, & Phanteks Shift
Its a stunning case. I love everything about it! Its minimal, doesn't occupy a lot of desk space, the included accessories box, and the 140mm fan are really appreciated. Be careful with PSU that you choose. The chassis may interfere with the PSU power button. I highly recommend going for a SFX NON-L PSU for this case. I would have loved to see a headphone port next to the USB 3 ports on the case.

Absolutely beautiful case. You definitely have to plan around it, otherwise you end up in a mess like I did. However, it's an SFF case with support for full length video cards, AIO's and 3.5" drive. What more could you want.

A fun and unique case to build with. Phanteks did a great job on making this case as user friendly as possible. First off, the manual is very useful, color printed and clear instructions on how to get around this case. Every air vent has dust filters which is a big+!

Looks great and easy to build in (2nd ever case I built in). Ditched the Phanteks riser cable because if the negative reviews and bought a Gen 3.0 riser for the Shift on AliExpress that took 22 days to arrive. Looks better and works like a charm.
Only wish the back panel on the case had a design or something to hide peripheral wires.

I love the look, as most people do. This case is a true PITA to work with. If you plan carefully and manage your wiring appropriately you will end up with a GEM of a system.

from completed build Evolv Shift Dual AIO
Best looking Mini ITX case of this year, it's absolutely gorgeous. Cable management it's a headache instead, Cablemod cables are highly recommended since the included ones with the PSU are too stiff to route them around easily. I just order a set for this. Make sure you make a good cable management plan BEFORE you start to build it up, or you will have to deal later with multiple step backwards as you go. Included 140mm fan so far is doing it's job pulling the hot air out of the case, but I intend to change it for a Noctua NF - F12 Industrial that i got sitting around.
All components are super tight on this case, including tha cables coming out of the IO shield (specially the DVI And USB cables) won't allow to close top door without a hard press on it. Don't know if there are 90 degrees cables for this, or at least a USB multiHUB long cable would be a great idea.
Worst thing about it was he riser cable for the video card. At first I believe it was a video card issue, but then I look at forums and found it wasn't an uncommon problem. I was getting 70 FPS on League of Legends, when I was hopping for 150+. Also, PC stopped and restarted on safe mode when loading complex graphics on web browser or videos on Youtube. Problem was solve by getting down the speed of PCI Express Bus to Gen II, at the cost of decreasing even more the frame rate. Test bench of components on other system without the riser cable was normal so, there's only one thing to blame here. Bad thing for a case at this price range, and for me a deal breaker, because I can't take the juice i want from my brand new PC

Case looks good,but is very compact even for ITX. Will make you work for it. Wish there was a little more in the way of Cable management tie downs. Overall, I love the tempered glass look
