In her first official Victory Tour poster, Hunger Games winner Katniss Everdeen sported a simple, clean white dress that emanated innocence and humility. But the District 12 tribute's outfit in this newest victory poster is anything but simple. Instead, it's an intricate, high-volume design that resembles a creation from the fall 2011 Alexander McQueen ready-to-wear collection — and evokes the romance of the gown a certain Best Actress winner wore to the 2013 Academy Awards.

The Addax and Oryx Foundation funds the projects of non-profit, non-governmental organisations that demonstrate the experience and expertise to help poor communities in Africa and the Middle East to become the masters of their own destiny, with tangible and sustainable results.
We give priority to projects that take a holistic approach, incorporating more than one of our core areas, in recognition of their inter-dependence in the fight against poverty. Projects must also be anchored in local communities, with individual and collective participation and empowerment, to ensure that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term.
We give preference to projects run by highly committed and professional individuals who are directly involved in the projects they propose, and to smaller organisations that do not have access to major governmental or agency funding.
In allocating funds, the Foundation aims to:
- create a sustainable and measurable impact;
- develop self-sufficiency within local populations;
- spark an individual and collective development momentum.
We have developed a set of values and principles that guide our decisions on the eligibility of the projects applying for funds.

National Geographic Photo Ark
The National Geographic Photo Ark is a multiyear effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to disappearing wildlife and their habitats. Led by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore, the project aims to document every species living in the world's zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts.
Sartore started the Photo Ark in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, over a decade ago. Since then he has visited 40 countries and has completed portraits of more than 8,000 of the estimated 12,000 species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Once completed, the Photo Ark archive will serve as an important record of each animal's existence and a powerful testament to the importance of saving them.
The project engages students in the classroom through free educational materials and activities, and inspires the public through special exhibitions, books, TV specials, features in National Geographic magazine, and events around the world. An interactive digital experience allows people to engage with Photo Ark content on our website, explore animals in the collection, and share information about endangered species with their social networks.
More about Joel
Joel Sartore is a photographer, speaker, author, teacher, conservationist, National Geographic Fellow, and regular contributor to National Geographic magazine. His hallmarks are a sense of humor and strong work ethic.
Sartore started the National Geographic Photo Ark some 11 years ago in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska. Since then he's visited 40 countries in his biodiversity with the goal of helping to preserve species. Sartore has produced several books including RARE: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, Photographing Your Family, and two new National Geographic Photo Ark books: The Photo Ark and Animal Ark. National Geographic Photo Ark fans are also invited to join the conversation on social media with #SaveTogether and learn more about how to get involved with the project at NatGeoPhotoArk.org.
In addition to the work he has done for National Geographic, Sartore has contributed to Audubon magazine,Life, The New York Times, Sports Illustrated and numerous book projects.

The Human Element
We humans are a force of nature. At the same time human activities alter the basic elements of life—earth, air, water, and fire—and those elements change human life in turn.
In this riveting and visually rich drama, blending art and science, we follow renowned environmental photographer James Balog as he explores wildfires, hurricanes, sea level rise, a struggling coal mining community, and our changing air supply. With rare compassion and heart, The Human Element highlights Americans who are on the frontlines of climate change, inspiring us to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world.
More about James
For almost 40 years, photographer James Balog ("BAY-log") has broken new conceptual and artistic ground on one of the most important issues of our era: human modification of nature. An avid mountaineer with a graduate degree in geography and geomorphology, James is equally at home on a Himalayan peak or a whitewater river, the African savannah or polar icecaps.
His new film, The Human Element, is an innovative and visually stunning look at how humanity interacts with earth, air, fire and water. Its world premiere was at the San Francisco Film Festival in April.
To reveal the impact of climate change, James founded the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) in 2007. It is the most wide-ranging, ground-based, photographic study of glaciers ever conducted. The project was featured in the internationally acclaimed documentary Chasing Ice and in the 2009 PBS/NOVA special Extreme Ice. One YouTube video clip from Chasing Ice has received more than 40 million views. Chasing Ice won an Emmy in 2014 and was shortlisted for the Academy Awards. It has been screened at the White House, U.S. Congress, Great Britain's House of Commons, the United Nations, and major international science and policy conferences, including COP-15 in Copenhagen and COP-21 in Paris. NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, and NPR have done features on his work, as have David Letterman, Bill Maher, and Bill Moyers.
James is the author of eight books. His images have been collected in dozens of public and private art collections—and extensively published in the world's magazines, particularly National Geographic.
2019 NANPA Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year Award Recipient
Into the Last Great Wilderness: a 25-year journey of nature photography
What started out as a childhood dream in Germany, led photographer Florian Schulz to a life exploring some of the most remote regions of the globe. By sailboat, sled-dog, bush-plane and foot, the National Geographic photographer has traversed thousands of miles of endless wild country. He dove in the frigid waters of the arctic ocean, camped in polar bear country and endured myriads of blood-thirsty mosquitoes while documenting the greatest wildlife migration left in the Americas, the Arctic caribou—all with the goal of stunning images that make people take action.
In this presentation, you can expect to get an intimate look at Schulz's journey through his career. Florian will share unprecedented images and film sequences, highlighting some of the most breathtaking landscapes and wildlife spectacles left in North America. While he aims for the most striking visuals, Florian's work is marked by his dedication to entire conservation campaigns. Acting as an ambassador for the wild, he strives to meet excellence in every project he takes on. No hardships spared. This presentation will keep you at the edge of your seat!
More about Florian
For more than 25 years, Florian Schulz has followed his passion for nature
photography. The results of his efforts are not only stunning photographs but also
entire conservation campaigns.

Schulz won numerous awards including "Environmental Photographer of the Year," Sierra Club's "Ansel Adams Award," amongst others. He was awarded the 2006 Philip Hyde Environmental Grant by NANPA and received NANPA's first Vision Award in 2008.
Today Schulz brings the wild side of our amazing planet closer to diverse audiences in Europe and North America, reaching thousands of people through his life talks. In a new era, where film and photography are merging, he has recently evolved as a producer in nature filmmaking, shooting in the highest standards of cinema quality. The result: outstanding film sequences, rarely witnessed before. Schulz is finalizing his first feature documentary about The Arctic Refuge. He lives with his wife Emil and boys Nanuk (6) and Silvan (3) between Anchorage, Alaska and La Paz in Baja (Mexico).

To Reach More Consumers Through Data-Driven Insights, Danone in North America Selects Wavemaker as New Media Agency Partner
As of April, Wavemaker will serve as the media agency of record for Danone in the USA and Canada, inclusive of the broad range of DanoneWave portfolio of plant- and dairy-based foods and beverages and Danone Waters of America, which markets evian in the region.
This decision comes as part of the integration process following the acquisition of WhiteWave in April 2017. Guiding the conversation were four key areas for growth and innovation; (1) Best in Class Team & Talent; (2) Value across the Portfolio; (3) Consumer Centric, Brand-focused and Business-minded plans; (4) Future-Forward, Data-Led Communications.
"Wavemaker had the most compelling offer in terms of creative content marketing and data-led insights to lead the company into the future with innovative thinking, new tools and great talent," said Claudia Sargent, VP Media Connection & Marketing Services at DanoneWave. "Because of our dedication to provide consumers the choices they love, we sought to find a partner that could build a genuinely dynamic media model with us, using data and precision targeting to deliver the right messaging to our existing loyal consumers, while also attracting a new and younger consumer."
"When it comes to food and beverage today, people's consumption habits both in media and products are constantly changing and evolving. The DanoneWave portfolio is unique, and as the leading organic food maker and yogurt maker in the U.S., our diverse offering across both dairy and plant-based has earned us trust from consumers. To maintain and grow our deep relationship with consumers, which will help us drive growth, we must be laser focused on evolving and innovating with them to deliver the best choices, at every step of their purchase journey. " said Sergio Fuster, president of the US yogurt portfolio at DanoneWave.
"How brands connect with consumers is a moving target, and we need to move faster. Right from the start we plan to equip Danone in North America with new ways of working to deliver relevant and powerful storytelling that grows their business. " said Amanda Richman, CEO, Wavemaker USA.," said Amanda Richman, CEO, Wavemaker USA.
Working with WaveMaker, the company seeks to become a center of excellence in data-driven insights, making the most of available advertising and media technology. "We went into this review with eyes wide open as a new company. Together, we made the decision to begin a relationship with Wavemaker across our portfolio in North America, thereby partnering more closely with WPP and finding new ways of working together," said Fuster. "We're excited to see how this change will further add to our ability to operate seamlessly and efficiently as we forge ahead together towards our mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible."

I recently came to learn of two books that seemed interesting to me. One is "The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs" and the other is "The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs" – both by Carmine Gallo. I consume books from a multitude of sources: iPad (iBook, Kindle, and Nook apps); audio while driving; and actual old-fashion books. These two books came to my attention through an ad on my audible.com account so I put them on my wish list to refer back to later. I then figured, heck, I'll just swing by Barnes & Noble and purchase the one on presentations since I figured there would be a very low probability that I would not enjoy it and I was very likely to make notes in it and save it for reference.
While in Barnes & Noble, I realized the hardcover retail price was higher than that of the audio version. So there in Barnes & Noble, on my iPad (which I had with me) I looked up Amazon's Kindle version price. I found that I could get both books on the iPad Kindle app for the same price as the hardcover version of the book on presentations alone in Barnes & Noble.
So, standing in Barnes & Noble, while holding a book that I was a mere minutes away from purchasing, haven been assisted by their staff in locating the book, I downloaded both books onto my iPad from Amazon's store – Kindle version – using the free WiFi in Barnes & Noble! Should I feel guilty about this? Well, perhaps I did a little so I at least did make one purchase during this visit – a cup of coffee from the in-store Starbucks cafe.
Such is the world of ubiquity in market and commerce.
As always, thoughts and comments are welcome.
Thanks for reading. Have a Great Day!
Matt G.

Locked file replication
This article refers to shared mode file locks.
For replication of databases, locked system files and etc. on Windows see the article on
Open File Manager
There are different types of file locks. In addition to these differences, each OS has its own set of rules regarding file locks as well. FRP's replication of locked files will vary in relation to the way the OS treats these types. However, one rule is consistent throughout all operating systems in that exclusive file locks will prevent FRP from replicating data. In Windows operating systems the third party application Open File Manager (
Download Trial of OFM
) will resolve the Exclusive mode issue. We will be providing solutions for this file lock mode in other operating systems in the future as well.
Regarding locked files in shared mode: by default, FRP will not replicate most shared mode locked files to avoid the possibility of corrupting data. If users are confident that it is safe to replicate their locked files, it is possible to enable the the FRP system to replicate them. To do this , open the s2s.properties file typically located in the /FileReplicationPro/etc folder on older version it is found in the /lib/ directory. There you will find the following two parameters:
These values can be set to true or false. The false settings will allow FRP to replicate duplicate locked files.
Once this is done, stop the three replication services and then start them up again. Please note that while replicating FRP locks the files (so as to avoid a file being changed/deleted/moved during replication).
In short:
- If the file lock is open in exclusive mode, FRP can only replicate the data using OFM in a Windows platform.
- If the file lock is in shared mode it is possible for FRP to replicate the data but some configuration may be required.
Other lock types:
read only mode
read and write mode
For replication of databases, locked system files and etc. on Windows see the article on
Open File Manager

Amanda Best
My goats seem to have itchy feet , especially on their pads at the back of there legs . They have scabs too ! I have tried purple spray , loused and mites them and fusiderm them , but still have a problem . What do you sugest ?
Clean dry ground is best for their feet. If the ground tends to be moist or dirty, you should try and change this. Some clean, dry concrete or paving slabs helps to wear the feet naturally too. In addition to these measures, this product is a reasonable one to try and it might well help, though it is not clear to me exactly what the underlying cause will be. If the problem does not clear up, you should get a vet to have a look at them for you.

DALLAS — Executives from American Airlines and Lufthansa complained about an unlevel playing field with Persian Gulf carriers, during a session at the World Travel and Tourism Council's Global Summit here.
Karl Ulrich Garnadt, a member of Lufthansa's executive board, said the situation is particularly difficult for European airlines.
"Scott, you ain't seen nothing yet with regards to the Gulf carriers," Garnadt said, addressing AA President Scott Kirby.
Garnadt said that in Europe, Gulf carriers operate seven times the capacity of European carriers between the Gulf and Europe, and that virtually all traffic between Europe and Southeast Asia is dominated by the Gulf carriers.
"And there is no end to this development," Garnadt said.
The Big 3 U.S. airlines have publicly alleged that the Gulf carriers — Etihad, Emirates and Qatar Airways — are heavily subsidized by their governments. Kirby sought to prove that point by saying he had found a published Etihad fare of $48 for a flight between New York and Mumbai this summer, which after fees came to $680 round trip.
"It costs way more than that to fly to a market like that," he said. "Fair trade requires fair competition. We like Open Skies but we can't compete with $50 billion in subsidies."
American, Delta and United have petitioned the U.S. government to freeze the Gulf carriers' growth in the U.S., saying that the Gulf airlines are unfairly subsidized, but the Big 3 have been unsuccessful.
James Hogan, president of Etiahd, was originally slated to be on the panel, but he was absent. The panel also included Aireen Omar, CEO of Malaysia-based low-cost carrier (LCC) AirAsia Berhad.
Garnadt also said that the Big 3 U.S. carriers had nothing on the major European airlines when it came to competition from LCCs, asserting that 41% of intra-European local traffic was from "so-called local carriers" in the model of Spirit and Frontier.
"I'm not sure how much market share they have in the U.S., but I'm sure it's far away from 40%," he said.
Kirby said that American has to compete against LCCs in certain markets, because so many people book on price alone.
"We are competing with any carrier that flies head-to-head with us in a nonstop market, whether it's Lufthansa, Spirit, Delta," he said.
"Eighty-seven percent of our customers only flew us one time," Kirby added. He said that 13% of Americans' customers account for half of its revenue. "It's the way travel is. … For half of our customers, we have to acknowledge that they care about price."

2016/17 Season Opener Only Weeks Away
Sunday September 11, 2016 will see Thirroul SLSC open its doors to the public and returning members. The Registration and Open Day is a chance for returning members to learn how to register online but more importantly if you are new to the area, or Surf Life Saving, it is an opportunity to see what the volunteer organisation does within the community.
Thirroul SLSC is involved in a number of programs including nippers, education, competition (junior and senior), but its core role is and always will be patrolling the beach.
By opening the doors to the public it creates opportunity to find out about competition, sign up for training programs, volunteer to help out with BBQ's, other fundraisers and nippers.
"It's a meet and greet for old and new members of all ages" Thirroul SLSC Vice President Julie Turner said, she continued "patrol rosters will be available and club clothing and swimwear can be ordered on the day".
Junior Activities Life Saving, commonly referred to as Nippers is open to children aged five and older. The age groups for all Surf Life Saving members is calculated by the current age as at midnight on September 30th of each year. A child must be five years old before they can be involved in a nippers program.
During the surf clubs renovation of 2014 a training room was built to continue the long standing tradition of education within the Illawarra. Many nationally recognised certificates and awards, including the Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallion, have been earned at Thirroul.
Surf Life Saving Australia is a community cause committed to reducing coastal drownings by 50% by 2020. Thirroul SLSC operates under the banner of SLSA and keeping the community safe is at the fundamental of what each person within the club does. The first volunteer patrol is scheduled for September 25.
Thirroul Surf Club doors will be open Sunday September 11 from 9am until 12pm.

The Binturong is part bear, part cat, and all squee! Nah, just kidding, they're not bears nor cats, but are in fact closely related to civets.

This 6 week old little cutie is named Oliver Wolf and weighs in at only 4lbs.
Thanks for hanging around Daily Squee this week, it's been so much fun!
-Sally Squeeps
Like many animals the bearcat uses scent glands to leave scent markings as a way to communicate with each other. What is special about the bearcat though, is its scent has often been compared to the smell of warm, buttered popcorn. Squeelicious or disqueesting?

In more than eight years on the county's health board, having served as president three times and vice president once, Terry Thatcher had no trouble making her voice heard.
Yet at the group's most recent meeting, held for the first time at Pikes Peak Regional Development Center, Thatcher was briefly silenced.
It was actually just a technical problem. Amy Lathen, one of four new board members, had to help Thatcher use the room's microphones. "Make sure the red light is on," said Lathen, who regularly meets in the same room as a member of the El Paso County Board of Commissioners.
Only gradually did the symbolism become clear: The lead role shaping county health policy has passed from community members like Thatcher into the laps of politicians like Lathen.
Some who have fought for public health in the county find that scary.
"I think politicians have no business on boards of health," says John Potterat, who spent nearly 30 years working in the El Paso County health department. "I view it as packing the court."
The "court" is the group responsible for determining whether, say, the health department should put more energy into ensuring local restaurants are sanitary or seeing that local prostitutes are tested for sexually transmitted diseases. For years, the board consisted of five community members appointed by the county commission.
That changed April 14 when commissioners, following a state law that required them to redesignate a health board, took the opportunity to add four new slots and filled them with Lathen, fellow Commissioner Sallie Clark and city councilors Jerry Heimlicher of Colorado Springs and Marc Snyder of Manitou Springs.
The new group met for the first time Monday, quickly deciding to keep Dr. John Burrington, the board's only physician, as president, and to meet monthly at the Regional Development Center.
Potterat's skepticism has roots in personal experience: He helped build a local program for tracking and controlling the spread of STDs that was once considered a model for other communities (see "Unprotected," cover story, Dec. 11, 2008). He retired in 2001 amid pressure from commissioners and the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights to scale back public-health programs; health department funding from the county was then a robust $5.1 million a year.
This year, the funding is $2.8 million, prompting the board to kill the STD surveillance program and to discontinue pool inspections and other programs. In Potterat's view, the changes have not all been guided by science, but instead are influenced by local political views and priorities.
Now, politicians will actively share in setting department policies.
Clark doesn't view that as a bad thing. With commissioners already appointing members, she points out, the board has always been political, but its new members can help increase visibility and strengthen connections with other governmental entities.
"We will have more personal responsibility," says Clark, who adds that she wants more people to understand what the health department does and the strains it faces.
Local voters ultimately control the department's purse strings, and they said "no" last fall to a proposed sales tax measure that would have boosted its funding.
Randall Bjork, a physician and immediate past president of the El Paso County Medical Society, fears true visibility for the department won't come until an outbreak of salmonella or another infectious disease.
"It'll take something that will scare the bejeebers out of people," Bjork says.

Reference USB audio playback bridge
The previous model of Hydra, the X+, has built its reputation based on excellent sound quality. From our perspective, it is time to move on, and offer a new interface, that we named usb audio playback bridge.
While raising the bar even more in sound quality and keeping the existing set of features precedently available, the new Hydra Z comes with a list of improvements that we're happy to share. Among the changes are a complete redesign of the digital board, changes in the way the Hydra is powered, new output configuration, new chassis and many other refinements – please see below.
MORE FLEXIBLE The Hydra Z can be powered in 3 (three) ways :
Furthermore features:
TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS Hydra Z benefits from all the qualities of the X+, and even more. New clocking scheme allows shutting down one of the two main oscillators when not in use. By reducing the mutual interference between clocks, better phase noise performance can be obtained. The power supply section was moved to a different chassis for best results.
WORDCLOCK and MASTERCLOCK OUTPUT The Hydra Z can be additionally used as a wordclock or masterclock generator through its dedicated BNC output. In total there are available 6 (six) outputs, including the low-jitter wordclock/masterclock output for direct synchronizing external d/a converters. The output wordclock is the sample clock (44.1KHz - 384 KHz) or 512xfs (22.5792 MHz or 24.576 MHz). The other 5(five) are : SPDIF Coaxial, SPDIF BNC, AES/EBU, I2S, TOSLINK.
IMPROVED CHASSIS The new Hydra has a full aluminium chassis, with a 10 mm thick front panel. All connectors are conveniently placed on the back panel.
ISOLATION A 5KV isolation barrier is used to prevent any leakage of the noise from PC to your sensitive audio system. The USB isolation for audio devices is nothing but tricky. If you choose to use USB isolators, then sample rate will become limited, which is not an option. If you choose to isolate the output, you are adding significant amounts of jitter to the signal. By using a clever circuit topology, the Hydra design avoids these two bottlenecks. The isolation is placed between the ARM processor and the FPGA audio core, therefore not limiting the bandwidth. Being before the clocks, its jitter contribution becomes irrelevant.
ARM PROCESSING All USB audio transactions are made through a powerful ARM3 processor. Therefore Hydra Z supports any sample rate available (384k PCM, DSD128) while being future-proof for any extension.
FPGA TECHNOLOGY As all AUDIOBYTE digital products, the Hydra Z uses cutting edge, custom digital processing developed into a Xilinx Spartan6 field-programmable gate array. The fpga is the "heart" of the Hydra. This advanced programmable circuit is offering a bit-transparent processing and signal conditioning to all outputs. It also gives the ability of the Hydra to output raw dsd audio streams.
AUDIO GRADE CLOCKS Unlike other products which only specify "low jitter clocks", here is exactly what you will find inside : 2xCCHD-950/957 type from Crystek. These are real audio grade clocks. You can check real graphs for them here. These clocks are system masters. In order to remove any jitter induced by the FPGA circuit itself, special retiming is applied just before the Hydra Z outputs.
COMPONENTS AND LAYOUT Careful PCB layout is often neglected in the rush of getting a product quickly into the market. The Hydra Z design time took lots of work until everything came into the right place, until the shortest routing paths, the best decoupling places, the less interference and crosstalk placement for the components are found. Selected quality components (active and passive) are used for guaranteed long-time performance.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY For best results you can use the Hydra Z with the dedicated Hydra ZPM power supply.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The flooding in Thailand that disrupted Western Digital's operations took a toll Thursday on stocks across the tech sector, most particularly on PC makers and chip firms.
Shares of Dell DELL, +0.39% , Intel INTC, +0.14% and Nvidia NVDA, +0.19% felt the heat a day after Western Digital WDC, -0.06% offered more details of what its Chief Executive John Coyne described as "a disaster of unprecedented scale." Read more on outlook for auto, tech production from Thai floods.
"The overall impact to the people of Thailand is immeasurable, and our hearts go out to them in these trying times," Coyne told analysts. "Full recovery will be a multi-quarter challenge."
Shares of the hard disk drive maker were up 5% Thursday, but have fallen more than 9% this week.
Dell fell 5.4% to close at $15.05, making the stock one of the worst performers on the S&P 500 SPX, -0.20% , where the tech sector was the hardest hit. Intel closed trading down 2.6% while Nvidia was off more than 5% by the close. Both Intel and Nvidia are key chip suppliers for the PC market. Read more on U.S. stocks.
In an e-mail, Dell spokesman David Frink said the company expects "minimal impact to supply through the end of our third fiscal quarter, and currently are working with our hard drive suppliers to address potential impact for the remainder of the year."
"We won't speculate on future scenarios or actions we might take," he added.
However, FBN Securities analyst Shebly Seyrafi said in a note, "We see PC companies, especially Dell, most impacted by the disaster in Thailand."
Seyrafi also said data storage companies EMC Corp. EMC, +3.85% and NetApp Inc NTAP, +0.77% could also be "negatively impacted ... but should be less so as enterprise drives are more profitable, so less likely to be constrained, and they are more tied to Seagate than Western Digital."
Seagate, a Western Digital rival, is scheduled to report results after Thursday's closing bell. Seagate STX, -0.92% shares were up a fraction to locse at $12.06. EMC shares were up a fraction to close at $23.81, while NetApp slid 2.1% to close at $37.72.
Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes also said in a note that "the situation in drives could have implications for PC makers H-P and Dell in terms of higher component prices and shortages."
Shares of Hewlett-Packard HPQ, +0.61% traded down about 1% to close at $24.74.
Meanwhile, shares of Marvell Technology MRVL, -0.44% retreated 2.8% to close at $13.32. In a note, Nomura Equity Research analyst Romit Shah said the impact from the disaster on Marvell is "big."
"Overall, we estimate that the flooding in Thailand could negatively impact Marvell by $175 million in revenue and $0.16-0.18 in earnings per share," Shah wrote.
Another Barclays analyst, Blayne Curtis, also wrote that the disaster was "most negative for Marvell, but LSI [was] also at risk."
"It is still unclear to what extent the shortages for key components will lower the overall hard disk drive total addressable market, which impacts both Marvell and LSI," Curtis wrote.
Shares of LSI LSI, -0.75% were up 1.3% by the close of trading Thursday, but have fallen about 8.5% this week.
On the other hand, the flooding may have a positive impact on semiconductor capital equipment companies, said Barclays analyst C.J. Muse who wrote, "There are few companies in our coverage that have meaningful leverage to hard disk drives."
Muse cited Teradyne Inc TER, +0.88% , a testing equipment manufacturer shares of which were up more than 4% at last check.
Also impacted by the flooding is chip maker ON Semiconductor which on Wednesday said that its Sanyo Semiconductor division's Thailand operation has suffered disruptions due to the disaster. Shares of ON Semiconductor ONNN slipped about 1% on Thursday. The stock has lost roughly 17% this week.
Intel Corp. shares were the hardest hit on the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.04%, which was up a fraction. An Intel spokesman said the flooding has not directly affected the company, saying the chip maker has "a small number of employees there" who are all okay."
In a call with analysts last week, Intel Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith also said the company doesn't expect the disaster to have an impact on PC market sales in the fourth quarter, saying "a combination of alternate supplied and inventory levels will carry us through."
But Evercore analyst Patrick Wang speculated in an e-mail that hard disk drive supply constraints "could potentially present a bottleneck to fourth quarter and first quarter builds and negatively impact Intel's fourth quarter guidance." Read more on tech stocks.

Getting new clients and customers is getting harder, not easier. At the same time some of the best marketing strategies are also old ones: giveaways and promotional products. Here's how to capitalize on forgotten moneymakers.
A New Twist On Loyalty Rewards Cards
Loyalty rewards cards have been done to death, but you can revive this oldie by rolling it up into a POS system. New electronic POS systems sometimes use customer profiles. These profiles are part of the software, but they're not always used by businesses – use them.
Sure, it might take a little extra time at the checkout to set up a profile for a customer, but each time that person comes in, it won't take much to enter in how much that customer spent. You can tag your customers' credit card to their name indirectly if they're willing to download an app.
Each time they make a purchase, their spending history is tracked and you can reward them when they spend a certain amount of money with you.
Offering Free Gifts
Free gifts is a straight-up generosity play. You give away free gifts as "loss leaders" hoping that customers will return the favor by buying something from you. The gift could be anything from custom playing cards to free samples of your product.
Switching Your Pricing, Increase Value
There are a few ways to switch up pricing that makes it easier for your customer to buy from you. The first, and easiest, tactic is to break up your pricing into smaller "bites" so that customers can pay for your product.
Let's say you currently charge a yearly membership fee for some service. Or, what if you're selling a big ticket item?
Can you break that up into smaller, "bite-sized" portions for your customers? What if you charged a monthly or quarterly membership fee instead of an annual one? A $300 a year fee, might not seem like that much to you, but $25 a month is a smaller dollar amount to work with for your clients.
If you already charge a monthly fee, you may not be able to charge people's credit card daily, but you can show the daily price. Charity organizations have been doing this for decades. Think about how many times you've heard that you can feed a starving child in some third world country for just pennies a day or a cup of coffee a day.
Pennies a day doesn't sound like much money, because it's not.
You're not changing prices, just pricing strategy.
Another way to alter the perception of your price is to create the illusion that it is cheap. How do you do this? By increasing its value. If you sell a big ticket item, try putting it next to an even more expensive item. Show prices in terms of relative value.
When your product is half as much as the next most expensive product (even if it's not your own product line), your product looks like a steal.
Darrell Gonzalez has held numerous management positions in marketing. He enjoys the challenge of developing new strategies and imparting his wisdom online. You can find other articles by him on a number of different B2B sites.

April 2, 2015 : In our previous blog we shared five reasons why social media might not be working for your events.
Now here's five more reasons why, and some suggestions on what you can do to make it work.
(Here's a link to our previous blog 5 Reasons Why Social Media Isn't Working For Your Events, in case you missed it!)
1. No One Engages With The Attendees
No one likes to be left hanging, right?
Make sure you monitor the hashtag and your mentions/notifications so you can answer questions, continue the conversation, ReTweet, Favorite and thank attendees for taking part - when others see you interacting, they're more likely to join the conversation and share your messages too!
2. You Don't Take Time to Prepare
As the old saying goes; fail to prepare and you prepare to fail.
Take some time to prepare some social media messages and answers to any likely questions in advance so that you don't have to think on your feet on the day.
There's nothing like the feeling of panic when you get writers block and have a million other things vying for your attention - your messages are likely to be uninspiring and ineffective... IF you actually get round to doing any at all.
Tools like Buffer and Hootsuite are ideal for scheduling across multiple social media channels ahead of time - just make sure you know what's posting and when so you can add value and be timely with your spontaneous posts too!
3. You Spam Your Followers
Buy this! We're great! Listen to us! It's all about us! Buy some more of this! Did you know we're great! We're the best!
Your attendees and Followers don't want to be talked AT - they know you're great but no one likes a bighead or people who talk about themselves all the time!
As with any good social media strategy, whether it's for an event or everyday, make it all about THEM! What can you help them with? How can you make the event more memorable for them or give them tips on getting the most out of the experience.
4. You Didn't Make Your Social Media Manager Your Best Friend
Your brand or event social media team can be extremely influential on the success of your event because they already have the relationship with your audience.
Social Media or Community Managers are also hungry for great content to share with those audiences, so you'll probably be helping them out too!
Involve them from the very beginning of your event planning process, let them collaborate with you on the hashtag, and then have regular meetings or catch ups with them frequently before the event so they can help build a huge buzz, and as they're usually quite a creative bunch, you may find that they come up with some great promotional or gamification ideas to take your event to the next level.
Don't forget to provide them with photo's and details after the event too, especially if they didn't attend in person - they'll keep everyone buzzing for weeks afterwards and biting at the bit to sign up for your next event!
If you're using one of our Social Walls, all the images and messages from the event are downloadable in one handy file directly from our report - quite frankly, that's the kind of content Community Managers dream of!
5. You Don't Review Your Analytics or Reports
How do you know what did or didn't work well if you don't review your post event reports?
There are many tools available for measuring and monitoring social media traffic and conversation out there such as Hootsuite and Social Mention, or Twitter's own search/advanced search.
See which Tweets and responses received the most ReTweets/Shares, Likes and Favorites so that you can provide more of the same type of content and attract more interaction at your next event.
Make sure you follow up and thank people for taking part of the conversation after the event if you didn't get a chance to during, and don't forget to follow and connect with the most active users at least.
When you use one of our Social Walls, full session reports are built in, providing you with all this information, including top Tweeters, top RTs, and more at your fingertips - you can even Follow users directly from the report.
So has this helped you see where you may have made some mistakes in the past? Now you know what to avoid in the future so you can achieve great results - please share this blog with your team or anyone you think might find it useful.
Like this blog? Why not take a look at some of our other articles like Event Industry Hashtags To Watch and Twitter Lists - Event Planners Hidden Gem.

OpEd: Save Great Bay Before It's Too Late
The Great Bay-Piscataqua Waterkeeper, along with the Coastal Conservation Association of NH, Great Bay Trout Unlimited and the NH Coastal Protection Partnership, coauthored the following editorial to The Portsmouth Herald.
A copy of this OpEd was originally published in The Portsmouth Herald. You can find a copy of it online here.
April 13 — To the Editor
The Great Bay estuary is in decline. That's the inescapable message of the Piscataqua Region Estuary Partnership's (PREP) most recent (2009) State of the Estuaries report, which tracks the health of the Great Bay and Hampton/Seabrook estuaries.
Of 12 primary indicators of the estuary's health tracked by PREP, 11 show negative or cautionary trends, including two very troubling negative trends: nitrogen concentrations in Great Bay are increasing, and eelgrass vegetation — the cornerstone of the Great Bay ecosystem, and an important nursery for fish and other marine species — is in sharp decline.
Consistent with findings in the 2009 State of the Estuaries report, the N.H. Department of Environmental Services and Environmental Protection Agency have acknowledged that waters throughout the Great Bay estuary are impaired, meaning that their health is in jeopardy. Based on the overwhelming evidence that immediate action is needed to clean up the estuary, the Environmental Protection Agency has begun issuing draft permits to limit nitrogen pollution from sewage treatment plants affecting the estuary (there are a total of 18 such facilities, 14 of them in New Hampshire; none currently has a nitrogen pollution limit).
In sharp contrast to the need for urgent and meaningful action, however, a small group of municipalities calling themselves the Great Bay Municipal Coalition — Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter, Rochester and Newmarket — persistently have tried to claim "the science is in doubt" and to delay needed improvements to their sewage treatment plants.
In the face of the pollution problems plaguing the estuary, rather than taking meaningful steps to solve the problem, the municipal coalition has engaged in a withering, all-out assault on the N.H. Department of Environmental Services and EPA. Last summer they sought assistance from a New Hampshire member of Congress, resulting in a bill calling for a five-year moratorium on any EPA permitting activity in the Great Bay estuary. Most recently, the municipal coalition filed a lawsuit against the N.H. Department of Environmental Services, challenging — on procedural grounds — the legality of its analysis regarding nitrogen pollution in the estuary.
Members of the municipal coalition have been sure to explain that they care about the Great Bay estuary, and that they want to be part of the solution. They say they're committed to "immediately" upgrading their sewage treatment plants to reduce nitrogen pollution. But their words ring hollow. In fact they've made clear that while they're willing to "immediately" upgrade their sewage treatment plants to reduce pollution to a certain level, if they're required to do more they will litigate the validity of their permits, and they'll do nothing to upgrade their sewage treatment plants while that litigation is pending. Actions speak louder than words, and so far the municipal coalition's only actions have been to delay what must be done to save the Great Bay estuary.
The Great Bay estuary belongs to us all. The health of its waters is inextricably linked to tourism and the local economy, and to what makes the Seacoast such a special place. We cannot allow the health of Great Bay, Little Bay, the Piscataqua River, and all the waters comprising the estuary to be held hostage. The estuary is approaching a tipping point which, once crossed, will make its recovery all the more expensive, if not impossible. Just ask the folks struggling to reverse the collapse of the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland, alone, is expected to spend — conservatively — $11 billion to clean up the bay.
We simply can't afford to keep kicking this can down the road. It's time for the municipal coalition to start investing in real solutions rather than paying lawyers and outside consultants to thwart needed action. It's refreshing to see the town of Newington, which will be subject to EPA permitting, embracing the protections required to save Great Bay; and it's encouraging to see another community, the town of Durham, choose not to follow the municipal coalition down the path of litigation and delay. We all benefit from a clean, healthy Great Bay estuary. Now is the time for action.

The Pharmaceutical industry continues to be an essential element of healthcare systems worldwide. Todays manufacturers need to know about the latest Process Analytical Technologies (PAT). Implementing the most innovative, cutting-edge technologies gives pharmaceutical manufacturers the tools needed to gain position in the marketplace. Significant opportunities exist to improve product development and to better analyze and control the manufacturing processes. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry has the same basic needs as many other industries. Reducing production downtime and increasing productivity are the main goals.
For analysis and control, engineers rely on Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers. Extrels MAX300 Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers can be found in pharmaceutical plants around the world. These advanced systems provide an array of analyses which give engineers the ability to better control processes such as:
Some of the advantages of using the MAX300 include:
Extrel has been producing Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers for over 45 years. We work closely with our customers to understand their obstacles involving pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Our expertise in developing the specific products our customers need has established our reputation as the worlds leading supplier of Gas Analysis Systems, Mass Spectrometers and Components.
The Extrel MAX300-BIO Bioreactor Gas Analyzer has been installed in major manufacturing stages within pharmaceutical industries. One of the main applications is Fermentation process control.
In the fermentation process, the growth of bacteria and production of drugs takes place under very tight conditions. The aeration rate, temperature and dosage of nutrients are regulated very closely during several stages of the process. The Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer is used to provide full, fast and precise analysis of the incoming air and the off-gas from the Fermentor. The results are used to calculate the Respiratory Quotient (RQ), a major parameter in controlling growth and health of the bacteria. In different stages of a batch fermentation process, the RQ value changes, thus allowing for optimum and efficient drug production. The additional analysis of minor concentrations of by-products allow for rapid process adjustment to avoid undesired reactions.
One MAX300-BIO Bioreactor Gas Analyzer is capable of analyzing up to 80 samples with the use of a single FAST multi-port valve. This multi-stream capability makes the Extrel MAX300-BIO the economical alternative to infrared and oxygen analyzers installed on top of each Fermentor.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are well aware of the industry statistics that at least 25% of time and energy can be saved by terminating the active pharmaceutical ingredient drying process at its true endpoint. However, actually determining the true endpoint has always been an obstacle. To avoid interrupting the process (traditional methods to determine the drying process involved sampling and analyzing the product in a lab) and possible contamination of an entire batch, many producers choose to overextend the drying process. Todays engineers can solve this problem by using the MAX300-IG Industrial Gas Analyzer or the MAX300-LG Laboratory Gas Analyzer. The MAX300 monitors the atmosphere composition above the drying material. Because the headspace is in close relationship with the concentration of solvents in the material, the true drying process end point can be determined by analyzing the headspace vapors. The Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer allows you the ability to view the concentration profiles of solvents over time, pinpointing the exact moment the drying is complete. In addition, each batch can be dried to the same specification, thus reducing rejection rate when the final product is tested after packaging.
Due to the large number of chemical solvents used in the drying process, Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry is the only viable and economical analytical technology for Solvent Recovery applications. To achieve the flexibility of analysis and parts per billion detection (ppb) limits, the Extrel MAX300-IG Industrial Gas Analyzer is the system of choice.
This online Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system is capable of fast and flexible analysis of an unlimited number of compounds in a single analytical method. The selection and tuning of analysis masses is achieved through software, not hardware. Therefore, a pharmaceutical plants solvent recovery process can be streamlined with no idle time between batches. Additionally, this same system is capable of analyzing the final gas exhausted to the atmosphere to monitor plant compliance with environmental regulations.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a powerful approach to the study of the thermal behavior of solid and liquid samples. The interface of a TGA with a quadrupole mass spectrometer allows researchers to characterize and quantify compounds in the off-gas in real-time along with each mass loss.
The MAX300-EGA comes equipped to import a Start-of-Heating signal from the TGA for easy data synchronization and features a chemically-inert transfer line specially designed to keep the sample hot and under vacuum all the way to the ionizer, to guard against condensation or chemical interaction.

Welcome to another #TrackTuesday here on OTDHipHop blog!
I truly appreciate all the support, big mahalos to the ARTISTS and the SUPPORTERS.
This week I got a different type of track tuesday review, because today's piece is a spoken word poem by Jeronimo Speaks. This is the FIRST spoken word submission on OTDHipHop! So I'm hella excited to share this with yall.
Jeronimo Speaks, a poet from the south side of Chicago, submitted a video of his poem "Jitters," in front of a live audience. After viewing and listening to "Jitters," I am 100% impressed by this poet's delivery and crowd control, especially with "word trains" that could go on and on. You'll see what I'm saying in the video when he's on his "P's & Q's." The poem itself is a strong body of work, with boldness and power from beginning to end. Spoken Word is different from rap performances, because the setting is usually quieter and more intimate. You get to really feel the poet's tone, voice, etc.
In my opinion, "Jitters" is a poem of liberation geared towards the youth of this generation. Jeronimo commands the crowd with his bold voice starting off with "This is the intro to the outro." He goes off into topics and clever word play, using similes and hyperboles but keeps a constant message of "rising above circumstances." My favorite line is "I aint trynna be a centaur, Im trynna be a centurion," because that's just plain clever. Who knows? I might do a reaction video to this, SHEESH! …Lol.

Bubba Starling hits a grand slam off Gio Gonzalez for Wilmington
Bubba Starling hit a grand slam off Gio Gonzalez, but Class A-Advanced Wilmington lost 11-10 on Friday in a crazy game at Potomac.
Wilmington trailed 3-0 after two innings, but Starling hit his home run off the rehabbing Gonzalez in the third inning to put the Blue Rocks ahead. The Nationals scored two in their half of the third for the lead, but Wilmington pushed across four more runs in the fourth for an 8-5 lead.
Starling got the second four-run inning going by drawing a two-out walk. Hunter Dozier also walked and Michael Antonio brought them both home with a double. Cody Stubbs had an RBI double and that was it for Gonzalez.
Jack Lopez's single capped the outburst.
It was a 10-6 game going to the bottom of the ninth when Daniel Stumpf came on to close out the game. After getting an out, he issued a walk and two singles to load the bases. After a walk forced in a run, John Walter relieved, but he gave up two straight RBI singles that made it 10-9. A sacrifice fly tied the score, and Walter issued a walk and then a single that scored the winning run.
Bryan Harper, the older brother of Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, got the win.
Other games
Matt Fields hit two home runs, including a grand slam in the eighth inning that broke a tie and lifted Class AAA Omaha to 6-2 victory over Oklahoma City. Fields hit a two-run shot in the seventh inning that turned a 1-0 deficit into a lead. After the RedHawks tied it with a run against Louis Coleman in the top of the eighth, Fields delivered his game-winning home run. Starter John Lamb allowed one run on four hits in six innings with two walks and three strikeouts. In his last four starts, Lamb has a 1.57 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 23 innings.
J.C. Sulbaran allowed one run on four hits in 6 1/3 innings and Class AA Northwest Arkansas held on to beat Tulsa 5-4. Sulbaran, 3-4, walked two and struck out five. The Drillers scored two in the eighth and one in the ninth to make it interesting. DH Mark Threlkeld had three hits and two RBIs and first baseman Max Ramirez had two doubles and two RBIs.
Augusta scored six runs in the seventh inning as it overcame a four-run deficit and beat Lexington 8-7. Pedro Fernandez allowed all six runs on four hits and four walks. Jeremy Sy hit (what else on this night?) a grand slam for the GreenJackets. Third baseman Mauricio Ramos had three hits and three RBIs. Center fielder Alfredo Escalera-Maldonado had four hits and scored two runs. Five other Legends had at least two hits.
