From TV to friendship bracelets via a chance encounter with Vogue.
Natasha Leith-Smith has gone from working in TV to running a burgeoning, colourful fashion jewellery brand that is winning interest from retailers around the world. The past year has been focused on building her collections, developing her celebrity outreach and establishing her position as a British brand. She was named a NexGem in the Professional Jeweller Hot 100 in association with The Company of Master Jewellers and IJL.
Professional Jeweller: Tell us about your move into jewellery design, how did it start?
Natasha Leith Smith: My mother is a gemmologist, I used to help her string pearls at the age of five, but I didn't end up working in jewellery until much later. I worked for five years in the marketing department at Channel 4. After three different chief executives had gone through the motions at the company, joining and leaving, and I was given the option of voluntary redundancy. So I took it and ran.
PJ: How did you end up launching a brand?
NLS: I launched my own design agency called Ideology. I was always playing with different things and was always creative. One day I bought some little gold pieces and some diamonds and made some string bracelets. I wore one of them which was a string bracelet with a gold tag, and a friend said she liked it and could I make her one. She worked for Vogue and ended up blogging about it on the Vogue website. Then suddenly the Harvey Nichols buyers called me to arrange a meeting for the day after. I ran around, got all the bracelets I had made for my friends together to present to Harvey Nichols but realised I needed a brand name. I'd spent time at art college in Paris and had always wanted to use the word allumer somewhere for one of my projects and it just so happened that I was designing some match boxes for a private members' club and realised they were the perfect packaging for the little bracelets. The brand just came together there, that evening.
PJ: You won Harvey Nichols as a stockist – what has happened since?
NLS: I've been working hard to continue building the brand and my stockist list now includes retailers in the UK, Turkey, Japan, Dubai and Australia. Last year I got Allumer into Paul Smith's flagship store in Covent Garden and make some special versions of the Allumer match necklaces with faceted briolette gemstones as the tip of the match. Paul Smith was been a definite highlight for me last year.
PJ: How do you strike the work/life balance?
NLS: Right now though I'm working all the time, I don't even count it as working anymore as I love what I do – playing about with materials and stones, making calls, brainstorming. Even when I go out for dinner with friends we end up brainstorming where I'm going to take Allumer next.
PJ: What are your plans for 2013?
NLS: Next I want to break the US market but I know I need to keep some focus on the UK right now.

Leukemias are disseminated diseases originating in the bone marrow. In principle, leukemic blasts can be found all over the body. The most common places where spreading is found outside the bone marrow are spinal fluid, (CNS leukemia) liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and testicles.
When the lymph nodes in the mediastinum are involved (occurs especially in T-cell leukemia), mediastinal tumors can occur with potential life-threatening compression of respiratory tracts and large veins.
For acute myeloid leukemia, in rare cases, extramedullary tumors (myelosarcoma) are present with or without apparent bone marrow affection. These patients are still treated for acute myeloid leukemia.

Two major GNOME hackfests will be simultaneously taking place in Brno, Czech Republic, this week. A GTK+ Hackfest will focus on the GNOME toolkit, while a Doc Sprint will be an important opportunity for our documentation writers to prepare for the upcoming GNOME 3.4 release.
The GTK+ hackfest will begin on Friday, 2/17 and will combine presentations and working sessions. The event will be a chance to plan GTK+ development, and will include discussions of Clutter integration, accessibility support and how to meet user experience goals. Visit the GNOME wiki for more details and a list of attendees from the GNOME community.
The Doc Sprint will also begin on Friday, 2/17. It will be an intensive work session for the GNOME Documentation Project, with the goal of updating and creating current documentation for the release of GNOME 3.4. This group will be updating GNOME help and GNOME application tutorials, improving GObject overview, and more. See the GNOME wiki for details and a list of attendees.
Both hackfests are being hosted by Red Hat, as a part of its 2012 Developer Conference which is occurring February 17-21. The Developer Conference is open to all Linux and JBoss developers, admins and users. Entrance is free and registration is not required. There will be breakfasts, snacks and a party catered by Red Hat on Friday evening.

Does Lease Control In Toronto Require An Update?
There have been several references that lease control should be instituted for properties worked after 1991.
Ontario premier has assured lease control, after gathering information that some Toronto landowners are lifting rents at twofold for tenants in their units. There are, up till now, no lease control rules for structures worked after 1991. A notable bank is resisting against the potential move.
"Economic theory is crystal clear on this issue: rent control is a bad idea. If rents are set at less than their average levels, both the quantity and quality of available rental units will drop. Under rent control, developers are less encouraged to build rental properties, a fact that aggravates any price crunch," Benjamin Tal, CIBC chief economist, wrote in a recent research report.
"The turnover rate under rent control is lower as tenants stay in properties longer. Therefore, landlords would spend the bare minimum to maintain their units given that, in many cases, they do not need to attract other tenants."
As far as it matters for her, Wynne isn't buying the argument that lease control will depress the working of rentals.
"The reality is, there has not been any more rental built. There has not been rental buildings built in any comprehensive way," she said last week, per the Canadian Press. "Therefore that argument does not actually hold water with me at this point."
Tal gave a certifiable case where lease control has had a contrasting impact.
"New York City should be featured in any economic literature as an example of public policy that has achieved the near opposite of its goals. Roughly half of the apartments in the city are under rent control, the other half is continually undersupplied with a clear impact on prices," he wrote. "Therefore, given that most housing programs tie government support to an apartment unit, the incentive to not move is enormous, further limiting supply. Additionally, the share of rent controlled units that are in poor maintenance, are almost four times higher than seen among uncontrolled units."
With cases of 100% lease climbs in Canada's most intense business sector surfacing, the legislature appears to be ready to make some move.
Would it be feasible for it to be an update to the present lease control rules?

This is a really excellent post on how to go about raising follow-on funding from First Round's Bill Trenchard and Brett Berson.
FirstCapital helps companies raise growth capital funding, and we see a lot of these issues, all the time. Key pieces of advice from this article that stood out for me:
1. Never run a process half-heartedly. You are either fundraising or you are not. Don't get sucked into a series of conversations that never really go anywhere;
2. Inbound investor interest, especially if it is not from a partner, is not necessarily an indication of demand. It is probably just someone doing their job, researching the market;
3. Markets change. Just because your last round was easy doesn't mean this one will be;
4. There are few things more important than your credibility as a founder. If you lose this (eg through overselling) it's almost impossible to regain, and this will kill the process;
5. Research and target the right individuals and the right investors, and then run the conversations in parallel: scarcity, competition and momentum creates demand.
I'd highly recommend you reading the whole article, it's packed with thoughtful, real world advice for entrepreneurs.
Never run an ad hoc process or be half-heartedly fundraising. As a founder, you should either be fundraising or not — and if you are, it should be done with great intention

Press Release – June 20, 2011, Paris: Steinmetz Diamond Group, based in Geneva, has opted for Spacecode's state-of-the-art RFID system to provide the company with a complete tracking and visibility solution. The system provides rapid data entry with minimal human intervention, instant inventory updates, complete accuracy, inherent protection against data forgery and an extra passive security layer. Steinmetz wanted a better way to monitor its diamonds' movements, one that would allow immediate pinpointing of each diamond's specific location. The switch puts an end to the widely supported but ultra-low-tech paper parcel "brifka" method that demands endless hours of painstaking manual processing and data entry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by H Baker from Review of Royal Canin Golden Retriever Food My Golden Retriever loves this food and the size of the kibble is good for her teeth - many of the premium food kibble are too small and she doesnt chew the food. I have also found this food reduces the amount of 'business' to be picked up - which is great :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophie1812 from Awesome!!! I've recently just changed to Royal Canin for both my Retrievers and I've noticed a big change in the older one (she's only 18 months, and our puppy is on Royal Canin Maxi Junior) she's much more excited for her breakfast and dinner now! She loves the bigger pieces and obviously must taste better for her too. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KD77 from Big pieces encourage chewing Perfect for making the dogs take longer to eat, making them chew their food, the size of the pieces was a welcome surprise. The dogs took to it quickly, it obviously tastes good to them. Their coats look great, they are full of energy and it has helped manage the weight of my older boy.

Train strikes are planned for December (Photo ref: 132131-12)
South Western Railway has said it will do 'everything possible' to keep commuters moving if planned strikes go ahead next month.
Earlier this month the union of Rail, Maritime and Transport workers (RMT) announced 27 days of strike action in December and the New Year as part of a long-running dispute over train guards.
Industrial action is planned from Monday, December 2 to New Year's Day, with scheduled breaks on December 12, for the general election, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The train operator has now promised guards will be present on all trains and will maintain a safety critical role on all trains.
Andy Mellors, SWR's managing director, has called the strikes 'unnecessary' and said its promises deliver what the RMT has been asking for.
Mr Mellors said: "All we're asking is that guards work with us to provide the modern, efficient train service customers need and want by bringing in new trains which could mean over 10 million more passenger journeys arrive on time in peak hours every year."
But a spokesman from the RMT union said it is 'disappointed' with the statement.
Mick Cash, RMT general secretary, said yesterday (Thursday) the union had attended dispute discussions for the past two days.
He added: "No proposals that would enable the development of a resolution to the dispute have been put forward by South Western Railway.
"Rather than making plans to try and break the strike action, the company would be better placed getting back round the table with the RMT with the objective of reaching a negotiated settlement that protects passenger safety on their trains."
SWR said it is 'working hard on detailed plans for the period of the strikes' and said it would do everything it could to keep customers moving.
It added that, due to the 'prolonged nature' of the strikes, contingency guards have been allocated to services over a longer period.
All contingency guards have undertaken approved industry-standard training.
SWR expects to run more than half of its normal service from Monday to Friday, with rail replacement services in place to assist busy lines.
But it warned services will be busier than usual and added it is working to make sure tickets are accepted by other transport providers.
SWR advised customers to check its website to see the latest information before travel.
Detailed timetables will be published next week.

I'm sure you've heard of the Rapture, if only from those bumper stickers that say, "In case of rapture, this vehicle will be unmanned." Because it's totally not prideful to assume you'll be one of the ones raptured, and I'm sure Jesus would be cool with your empty car causing a pile-up on the highway. It's a fairly mainstream idea these days, as evidenced by the popularity of the Left Behind series, but I'm pretty sure it's really still a minority belief among Christians. It's just a very vocal minority with a lot of advertising revenue. It's actually a quite new idea in the history of the religion, with its roots only known to date back to the seventeenth century. It's all tied up with the notion of dispensationalism and the premillennial viewpoint. Basically, the Rapture is a very literal interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." The general impression seems to be that these are full bodies that are going to be lifted into the sky, perhaps forming an entire sphere of righteous Christians hovering above the Earth. The idea of the resurrection of the dead comes in turn from Daniel 12:2: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." The resurrection was not accepted by all Jews in Jesus' time, but it was quite a popular idea, and it seems that the earliest Christians accepted Jesus' own resurrection as a precursor to what was to come for other dead people.
So when the dead in Christ rise into the air, will they regain their flesh, or will there be a bunch of skeletons up there? And what about people who were cremated? I understand that the Left Behind series has the raptured people leaving their clothes behind, I guess because Jesus is having a nude love-in up in the sky. What a crazy hippie that guy is!
The general idea of the Rapture was expressed by Increase and Cotton Mather in the seventeenth century, but it was John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren who really popularized it. It then made its way into the Scofield Reference Bible in the early twentieth century, which introduced the word "rapture" used in this sense to American evangelical culture at large. It was part of the theology of dispensationalism, based on the idea that history can be divided up into several eras or dispensations, each of which features a different relationship between God and mankind. Opinions differ on how many of these there are, but seven is a common number, for obvious reasons. This page lists them as the ages of innocence, conscience, government, patriarchal law, Mosaic law, grace, and the Millennial Kingdom. Premillenialists, as per the name, believe that the seventh era is in the future, and we have been in the age of grace since the time of Jesus. Harold Camping taught that the age of grace ended in 1993 and no one else has been saved since then (which makes me wonder why God even bothers keeping people around), but his beliefs are pretty unusual even for more radical evangelicals. Postmillennialists, on the other hand, believe we're already IN the millennial reign of Christ on Earth, and Jesus will come back to end it all after the thousand years are up. Both views are based on Revelation 20, which refers to a thousand-year period in which Jesus and the martyrs of Christianity rule the world, and the Devil is chained in a bottomless pit. Premillennialists apparently take the idea rather more literally. While Revelation presents this as a future event, it also shows Christians as being a persecuted minority prior to this. While this was the case when the book was written, Constantine made it into an official religion in the Roman Empire, so some Christians then figured the millennium must have already arrived. The thousand-year figure, which probably comes from Zoroastrianism, is why the year 1000 was popularly predicted to be the end of the world. Over time, as Christianity split into many different denominations, ideas about eschatology became more and more complicated. The Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches have become more or less officially amillennialist, not regarding the thousand-year reign of Christ as a literal event at all, in past, present, or future. Early Protestants often took that view as well, but in recent centuries the idea of regarding all of Revelation as taking place in the future, despite the obvious references to the Roman Empire, has come back into vogue among certain Protestant sects. This view ties together various prophecies in different books of the Bible, creating a series of events that its believers consider a completely literal interpretation of the Bible, despite the fact that it's basically a hodge-podge. And they think it's coming any day now.
So where does the Rapture fit into all this? It's basically a way to provide an easy out for the right kind of Christians. The prophecies in Revelation refer to a time when life is pretty crappy for everyone still living, commonly called the Great Tribulation, and often thought to last seven years. Using the passage from 1 Thessalonians combined with a few references from Revelation, believers in the Rapture think they'll be lifted up into the sky BEFORE the Tribulation occurs, so they don't have to worry about it. The persecution of Christians will then only happen to people who convert DURING the Tribulation. I guess the Rapture also helps explain how Christianity could possibly become a minority religion again, although it generally seems that pre-tribulational premillennialists only expect certain kinds of Christians to be raptured. Maybe the Rapture has already happened and no one noticed the people who disappeared. There are also mid-tribulational and post-tribulational premillennialists, who think believers will still be around for part or all of the Tribulation, but this post has already gotten pretty complicated. And I'm still not totally sure how preterism and futurism overlap with the various millennialist beliefs.

Microdosing (for underachievers)
Originally published in Human Shift Magazine, a bi-annual book where culture, sport and spirituality meet. You might take acid and go to work. In fact, you might take acid specifically because you are going to work. In Silicon Valley, because coffee only goes so far, the search for greater focus and productivity has led to a reboot of psychedelics: microdosing. To microdose is to take a small enough quantity of a drug to elicit no adverse side effects (i.e., no hugging of office plants), yet high enough to experience subtle physiological benefits.

- The Marines Corps is rapidly developing the ability to strike enemy ships with long-range missiles fired from shore, according to Breaking Defense.
- The Army, which sank a ex-warship with rocket artillery last year, is reportedly preparing to continue testing this capability.
- And the Navy is said to be moving toward arming its submarines with improved Harpoon that are more destructive against ships.
- These developments appear to be largely focused on the Pacific, where the US military faces a Chinese naval force that is growing and modernizing, and seeking to contest US dominance.
As China's naval power grows, the US military is stepping up its ability to sink enemy ships, firing missiles from land and at sea.
The Army and the Marines are both looking at striking ships from shore batteries at extended ranges, while the Navy is arming its submarines with ship-killer missiles for the first time in many years.
Determined to deploy these capabilities quickly, the Marines have launched a rapid program to develop long-range anti-ship missiles from mobile shore-based launchers.
"The Marine Corps has been looking for a shore-based capability to meet [US Indo-Pacific Command's] demands," a Lockheed Martin representative told Breaking Defense at the Surface Navy Association conference in Washington, DC.
"The Army is looking at this too but probably on a different timeline," he added. "The Marine Corps wants to get after this pretty quickly." He further commented that the Marines are looking at developing mobile launchers "that can shoot and move very rapidly."
The Marines experimented with strikes against land targets using ship-based High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) aboard the US Navy amphibious assault ship USS Essex in October 2017. At that time, military leaders were discussing bringing this capability to bear against enemy combatants at sea.
During the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercises last year, Army soldiers fired multiple rockets from the rocket artillery platform at the ex-USS Racine during a combined arms sinking exercise.
The Army is reportedly preparing to carry out another missile test, one in which MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System missiles will be fired from HIMARS launchers on Okinawa. The Chinese navy regularly sails ships, including its flagship aircraft carrier, through nearby waters.
During the sinking exercise last summer, Gen. Robert Brown, the commander of US Army Pacific at Fort Shafter in Hawaii, suggested that ground forces could use these capabilities to establish "unsinkable aircraft carriers" to facilitate US Navy and Air Force operations.
China uses threatening, long-range missiles to keep US forces at arms length. Were a conflict to break out, the US would likely use long-range weapons like these at its military outposts along the first island chain — a defensive line that runs south from Japan to Taiwan and then the Philippines — to limit Chinese mobility.
The Navy is reportedly arming its attack submarines with upgraded versions of the Harpoon anti-ship missile, according to Breaking Defense.
The focus on anti-ship capabilities at sea and ashore advances a strategic concept outlined by the head of INDOPACOM.
"As naval forces drive our enemies into the littorals, army forces can strike them. Conversely, when the army drives our enemies out to sea, naval firepower can do the same," Adm. Phil Davidson said after last year's sinking exercise.

Pauline Taylor & Pat Cole represented Wigan Harriers at the Chester Marathon this year:
Well, you may or may not have noticed that Pat and I have been decidedly absent from the Thursday night training for the last few months. Most of you won't have missed us due to you speedies being up at the front, whilst the two of us always bring up the rear!
I was reading the emails of last week about the choice of Spring 2014 Marathons and I was filled with fear and trepidation. I couldn't quite fathom out why everyone seemed so enthusiastic and filled with such excitement!
After completing two London Marathons a few years ago, Pat had a place for this years' event in April. After much thought she decided not to do it but was very disappointed – so I came up with the bright idea to enter the Chester Marathon. Really, I don't know what I was thinking about, as up until September 2012 when I entered the Tatton Park 10K, I had never entered more than a 5k Race for Life.
So, we got our heads in gear and started our training back in June. We ploughed on week by week and increased our long runs. Our longest run couldn't have fallen at a worse time, as it was due on the Sunday as we were both returning from holiday. Some of my training had to be when I was on holiday in Cyprus and I have to say it was no joke trying to avoid the 38 degree heat! All credit to my husband who did get up early with me and help me along. We came back from holiday and rearranged the Sunday longest run until the Tuesday and off we went, completing the 22 miles over a really hard route.
On Sunday, 6th October, we arrived bright and early at Chester racecourse. I must say it was very well organised. Our first mistake though, was to get out of the car and head for the portaloos in our running shoes. Five minutes later we came back, socks and shoes absolutely soaked from the morning dew – never even gave it a thought! Footwear removed, we sat in the car with the heater wafting at full blast until they were all dried out. Not to be deterred, when start time approached, we got out of the car sporting high-viz, bright green, M&S carrier bags tied around our feet. But being as well-organised as it was, it wasn't long before we were supplied with trendy blue overshoes by the organisers.
The race began and we tried to set off slowly, as we'd struggled with our pacing throughout our long run training, telling each other to slow down as we knew we were going too fast.
Out of the racecourse, we made our way through the medieval city walls and headed out through picturesque country lanes and passed through several beautiful villages. A few miles in we had a feeling that we were going further and further back as people were passing us but we passed the same people further on the course who had decided to walk!
At one point, some stampeding cows were running faster than us! We carried on, inspired by a blind man and his guide runner. The guide seemed to be really struggling as the runner continued to drag her round in oblivion to her obvious discomfort. He was in a very jolly mood, singing his head off. When I asked Pat what it was he was singing, she said it was some dirty song about Father Christmas!
The weather was glorious – too hot really. We plodded on with our drinks, bars and gels up to 21.5 miles and then I felt really sickly. At that point I didn't know if I needed more gel and lucozade or if I'd had too many, so we stuck to the water and agreed to slow down to walking pace. It didn't help when Red Cross first-aiders on bikes and ambulances seemed to be constantly whizzing past us followed up by the sweeper vehicle.
After a nasty hill at around 24.5 miles we set off running again heading for the finish. I was seriously thinking we'd gone off too early and weren't going to make it, as I tried to keep my stomach contents down where they belonged! The course re-entered the city centre and down along the cobbled embankment of the beautiful river. The pubs and bars were full of people enjoying a drink and Sunday lunch. There was no way we were going to stop at this point and every Marshall seemed to be saying "just round this corner" and the next and the next.
And then there it was – the sight of the racecourse entrance and we could see the field and the Finish Line. All I could think is I hope it's the shortest way round the racecourse to the finish. It was.
We continued our sprint to the end – my first and last marathon duly completed.
5 hours 37 mins 32 seconds.
When I checked my Garmin at home later that evening we had completed the last 1.5 miles running under 7 minute kilometres, which for us is a sprint.
With lots of love and thanks to my dearest running friend Pat – I couldn't have done it without her and to my husband Alan for all his help and support. He has only just started running and supported me on some of my 6am Sunday morning long runs where he clocked up 12 miles on one of the runs.

I'm not sure how much was supposed to be in the demo. All I got was on puzzle, the word cubism. I put the pieces together and it was flashing Press Menu to Start. There was no Exit button. So if that was all there was supposed to be:
The beginning was good where it walked me through the controls. Personally I would make the environment just a tad darker. I liked the handling of the pieces. I loved that you could let them go and they would continue moving a bit.
I think it is a good start on a non-shooting game and we need more of them.
Thanks for the demo.

Apple Card Is Here – Should Traditional Card Issuers Worry?
"Apple Card is here. A credit card created by Apple, not a bank. Built for simplicity, transparency and privacy. Apply now on your iPhone, and start using in minutes." – Apple Inc.
With much fanfare, as tends to be the case with most new Apple product announcements, Apple's new credit card became available to U.S. consumers on August 20, 2019. Touting "a new kind of credit card," the launch is causing traditional bank and credit union card issuers to ponder the implications of competing directly against the brand strength of the tech behemoth. In this promotional video, snippets of which have been appearing in national television spots, Apple highlights many reasons that traditional card issuers should be paying close attention:
In Apple's own words, these are some of the card attributes and features the company hopes will resonate with consumers:
- "A credit card created by Apple, not a bank"
- "Simple, transparent, and private"
- "The only credit card designed to take advantage of the power of iPhone"
- "Works with Apple Pay"
- "Unlike other credit cards, it helps consumers easily understand their spending"
- Rewards – easy-to-redeem "daily cash with every purchase that goes straight to Apple Cash Card"
- "Makes the interest paid clear and transparent"
- "A credit card that encourages consumers to pay less interest"
- "No fees (not even hidden ones)"
- "A new level for privacy and security, Apple Pay technology creates a unique card number and locks it away in a secure element of the iPhone"
- "Face ID and Touch ID allow only the cardholder to use the Apple Card"
- Support via text message built into the app, "no waiting on hold"
- All features reside in the Apple Wallet app
- "Titanium, laser-etched physical card with no card number, CVV security code, expiration date or signature on the card"
Reactions to the Apple Card launch range from "revolutionary" to "it's just a credit card." As with most things, the reality is probably somewhere between the two extremes, and only time will tell which end of the spectrum wins out. However, traditional card issuers would be wise to understand the threat Apple Card poses and see how their current card offering and cardholders' experience stack up.
The most obvious immediate risk to traditional card issuers is losing card market share and all the interchange revenue that goes along with it. From a longer-term perspective, a successful Apple Card may also accelerate consumer acceptance of financial services from non-traditional providers. In a recent Raddon Research Insights consumer survey, 22 percent of consumers agreed or strongly agreed that they "have conducted/will conduct financial business with newer organizations like Google, Amazon, Apple, PayPal, or Square to supplement the financial services they receive from a traditional bank or credit union." As one might expect, Millennials are even more open to this idea; 34 percent agree with that statement.
To take it one generation further, the digital-native Gen Z cohort is even more comfortable with the notion of obtaining financial services from disruptors such as Apple or Amazon, as Figure 1 shows. One in every five (21 percent) 16- to 19-year-olds sampled in a recent Raddon Research Insights survey of Gen Z indicated they would be more likely to use an Apple credit card than a credit card from a traditional bank or credit union. The good news for banks and credit unions was that two in five indicated they would be more likely to opt for a checking account or credit card issued by a traditional financial institution. But that leaves another 40 percent who essentially see no difference between the options, representing both a risk and an opportunity for banks and credit unions.
The target audience for Apple Card is limited to iPhone users, which by most accounts now represents nearly 50 percent of the U.S. smartphone market since Apple has usurped Google Android's previous dominance (Android is still the global leader). Raddon Research Insights data also shows that of the 50 percent of consumers who use mobile banking, nearly one-half (48 percent) are iPhone users. So although the target audience for Apple Card may be limited, the more than 100 million iPhone users in the United States represent a huge market. To quantify the risk at your financial institution, determine how many of your mobile bankers are iPhone users. Of these, how many have a credit card with you? How many have already used your credit card with Apple Pay? Consider offering incentives to this group for default card status in various mobile payment and wallet applications. To stem attrition and loss of primary card status, track changes in this group's purchasing behavior, particularly for reoccurring payments.
Apple made its initial foray into the payments arena in 2014 with the launch of Apple Pay. Five years out, most would agree that the adoption of Apple Pay has not been as strong as initially anticipated (only 7 percent of consumers use Apple Pay according to Raddon Research Insights). Perhaps an effort to drive adoption of Apple Pay contributed to the development of Apple Card. As noted in our coverage of Apple Pay shortly after it launched, "Free perks and reward incentives can in fact influence consumer payments behavior," as evidenced by the success of mobile payment apps from Starbucks and Dunkin'. Although Apple Card does not offer significantly richer rewards than those offered by many competitor cards, its 2 percent daily cashback on all Apple Pay transactions is double the 1 percent cashback that Apple Card users receive from purchases made with the physical titanium card. Apple Card also offers 3 percent cashback for all Apple-related purchases and purchases from other select merchants and apps, such as Uber. Will these reward incentives be enough to change people's payment behavior?
The ease of redeeming the rewards is perhaps even more noteworthy because consumers often cite this as a pain point with traditional credit card reward programs. Raddon Research Insights data shows that of the 85 percent of credit card holders who consider one card to be their primary card (the other 15 percent show no such favoritism), the top reason cited for considering one card as primary is that the rewards are "easily accessed and redeemed." This is an area Apple is clearly promoting in its marketing of the daily cash back.
In the financial services industry, where most products are commodities, innovation in marketing is critical. What makes your credit cards unique? Apple has very clearly laid out its value proposition, focusing on the simplicity, transparency and security, along with all the digital bells and whistles that go with it. Your card offering may check off many of the same boxes listed in Apple's promotional video, but unless you clearly communicate the benefits of those features, consumers have no way to differentiate your card from those of competitors.
It is hard to disagree with the 58 percent of consumers who told us in a recent Raddon Research Insights survey, "Newer organizations like Google, Amazon, Apple, PayPal or Square will change how financial products and services are delivered to consumers." This is not a negative statement; it's simply a recognition that banks and credit unions should learn from these technology and Fintech providers and should evolve in ways that meet the changing needs and expectations of consumers. Apple did not invent the personal computer, the MP3 player or the mobile phone – it just found ways to make them inordinately better by focusing on improvements to design and process.
What can you learn from Apple Card? Is there room for improvement in your card account-opening process? What tools do you have in place to help cardholders track and manage their spending? How easy or difficult is it for cardholders to redeem rewards? How well do you communicate the security and fraud-prevention aspects of your cards? How easy is it for customers and members to contact you for support? And ultimately, how do you communicate and market all of these things?
Apple Card may end up being just another credit card. But the best way to avoid being disrupted by new entrants like Apple is to learn from them and disrupt yourself first.

I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls II and, as with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, I was suddenly reminded of how much I love the combat in those games. You can't really button mash your way through encounters. And while you don't need to apply all the combat mechanics, I really like that a given fight can involve blocking, attacking, parrying and riposting, roll-dodging and backstabbing, and it all flows rather nicely. Granted, the deliberate nature of the combat can make it seem slow, and I've certainly had friends level that criticism against the games, but I appreciate that more methodical pace. It feels a little more 'real' because you don't just wildly hack and slash like a madman, both because you'd leave yourself open to counterattacks and you'd tire yourself out, which is why I even love the stamina system.?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Five Ways To Use Social Networking To Improve Your Grades
If you are looking to make life easier for yourself, we are always happy to help. Today we've got a list of five easy ways that you can use social networking to improve your grades.
- Network with other students: Other students can be very helpful, especially when you're a freshman. Take advantage of people that know more of the ins and outs of your school and find out how to best succeed with your professors. Also, if you miss a class, you can ask other students in your class what you missed so that you don't fall behind when you return.
- Use polls and surveys to gather information: These are great ways to do research for papers that you have to write. If enough people take part in your surveys, you can use the data collected as statistics in your schoolwork.
- Read blogs to get expert opinions on topics you're studying: There is no better way to learn about a subject than from the experts. Their blogs will supply you with useful information that you can use to impress your professor with outside knowledge on the subject you're learning about. Of course you need to be careful about which blogs you read because anyone can have a blog which doesn't make them an expert.
- Join or create forums and groups that discuss what you're learning about in class: Taking part in online discussions on topics that you're studying is a great way to get relevant information from your peers. Oftentimes, they can give insight on topics that you hadn't thought of or give you tips on how to study effectively.
- Collaborate remotely on group projects: When working on group projects, it can be difficult to find time for everybody to get together and work on the project. You can use social media sights like Skype or Facebook messenger to communicate when you can't get together in person.
We have all this great technology at our fingertips so why not take advantage and make college a bit more manageable?

DFN3, an X chromosome-linked nonsyndromic mixed deafness, is caused by mutations in the BRN-4 gene, which encodes a POU transcription factor. Brn-4-deficient mice were created and found to exhibit profound deafness. No gross morphological changes were observed in the conductive ossicles or cochlea, although there was a dramatic reduction in endocochlear potential. Electron microscopy revealed severe ultrastructural alterations in cochlear spiral ligament fibrocytes. The findings suggest that these fibrocytes, which are mesenchymal in origin and for which a role in potassium ion homeostasis has been postulated, may play a critical role in auditory function.

5 tips to spruce up your yoga practice
Spring is no dull time. It is time to try new things. It is time to rejuvenate, detox, and enjoy the abundance of energy. Try these suggestions to add a bit of freshness in your daily yoga practice.
Move around
Do you always sit in the same spot in the corner of the room? This spring change your perspective and – literally – look at things from a different angle. When next time you are coming up into a pose try to shift your focus to an area of your body that you almost never consciously feel, like feet or face.
Ask Questions
Next time you are in triangle pose, for example, evaluate yourself. We are used to doing and being in the same yoga postures. But our bodies and minds are different every day. Our needs change.
Check if your weight is not distributed equally? For balanced mind.
What if you are not pushing enough through your heels down to reach the earth? For grounding and support.
Are you strengthening your arms and shoulders at the same time as you are lengthening your legs and stretching the life nerve? For will power and vitality.
Ask your body these questions, check for answers.
Let others see you
Do a class with your yogi friends. A fresh pair of objective eyes can help you discover ways to enhance your personal practice by assessing your range of movement and physical strengths and weaknesses. A friend could become a 'prop' and help you to go deeper.
Shuffle poses
Write as many names of the yoga postures you can think of on separate pieces of paper. Shuffle them, and pick 7 poses. Find a way to move through them in a sequence. Check how you feel. Did you find it inspiring? What would you change next time? Why? Try it! Write down all the ideas and feelings you had, do not forget to reflect what felt great and what felt maybe a bit awkward. We can always shuffle more cards and pick some others to add to the mix.
Find occasions
Think about 5 occasions in your day you can do a stretch, meditation or pranayama. If you have a challenging presentation to deliver maybe you can calm yourself down through a cooling breath via a left nostril? If you have a stiff neck, can you do infinity rolls? If shoulders start to feel like rocks, can you do a spinal flex in front of your desk? Drop some yoga into your days, integrate the infinite wisdom with things you are doing and feel great.
This weekend I am going to hike through the country side. And I already know that I am taking Sa Ta Na Ma and Wahe Guru Wahe Jio mantras with me. I will practice with friends and will introduce non-yogis into rejuvenation and energy pranayamas. What do you think you can do?

Transmutation is the general ability to change something from one form, substance, element, etc. to another. It's easier to conceive of this power by breaking it down into two aspects: range and target. Range refers to the area of effect that the power can influence, or be used, while target is the subject which is affected. Atom Eve is great example of a user with a broader use and control of Transmutation as she can affect a fairly large area and multiple targets (herself, others, and even inanimate objects). It also differs from magical changes in that those caused by Transmutation are linked to scientifically definable mechanisms rather than to occult or supernatural ones.
Given the broad range of this power's application and target it if often sub-categorized to make it easier to define. Some examples are Elemental Control and Metamorphosis, which are both much more restricted uses of transmutation. Generally speaking, Elemental Control is typically restricted to external targets and has a relatively large range, while metamorphosis is usually restricted to the character's own body and thus has a very limited range and only one target.

Table dimensions are: 30″h x 42″w x 60-78″d, thus this is the perfect size for a family dinner table.
The four legs are made of solid wood and veneer wood, and they are an awesome match for a wide variety of home decors and dining chairs.

The historic Ephrata Cloister has some spooky areas even in the daytime, so with Halloween coming up I thought I'd try making some of the photos into scary Halloween scenes. It turned out to be not only extremely easy but extremely fun. I added some information on how I created the scary photos at the bottom.
The first photo shows a ghost I saw lurking in this basement area…or could it have been just a weird discoloration that was probably water stains on the stones? I didn't add a border to this photo to make it look like someone took a quick snapshot while running away from the ectoplasm.
I used posterize to make the gravestones look older and weather-stained:
This building is simply a side view of the sister house at the Cloister. The photo uses dramatically saturated black and white, posterize, plus a dark gray vignette to make the intense sky. You can almost see the ghosts looking out at you:
Here are some tips for making scary photos in Picasa:
- For most photos the biggest effect comes from changing the photo to black and white and really cranking up the shadow adjustment slider. Then experiment with saturation to darken the photo even more.
- Sharpen the photo and see if you like the clarity, or if adding the softness of Orton-ish would make a better effect.
- Sometimes glow will make a great ghostly effect.
- An overall graduated tint to evenly darken the photo can be helpful, or you can experiment with tinting the photo to other colors.
- Posterize or comic book can add sharp edges for more interest. Be sure to sharpen the photo first.
- If you make the photo too dark, just change the fill light or highlight adjustments to lighten it up again.
- Resize the photo using another program like Paint. In Paint, you just need to open it then choose resize. I usually make a photo 750 or 850 pixels on the longest edge to make a manageable size that won't take up much room in my computer's memory.
- You could also try importing werewolf or haunted house images to place in photos. However, they have to have a transparent background. I don't see a way to do this in Paint so you would need to use Photoshop or a similar program.
Happy Halloween photo fun!

Surely you have admired certain artists or musicians. However, have you ever done crazy or strange things because you admired your idol? However, there are some crazy things a fans would do when they admire their idols.
These fanatical fans often do strange and odd things. Sometimes it sounds silly and you will wonder why they do it. The fans can even act recklessly in order to get close to their idol. Here are crazy things a fans would do that you will never think of before:
1. Make Tattoos
Carl McCoid, 39, is a man who really likes musician Miley Cyrus. Therefore, he is willing to make 15 tattoos all over his body, which he dedicated to Milen Cyrus. He spent more than USD 650 to make these tattoos.
He shows off all of his tattoo photos on his social media and now he has 2,225 followers. Because he really likes Miley Cyrus, he says she is his wife. He likes Miley Cyrus because he thinks that she helped him through a divorce in his life.
2. Break a Leg
A long time ago Jessie J had an accident that caused a broken leg. Then, she was surprised when one of her fanatical fans also broke his own legs to be like Jessie J. Moreover, he also sent photos of his injured body to Jessie J.
In fact, her fans also terrorized her by sending a message that he would do anything to be like her. No wonder that this is one of the crazy things a fans would do to an idol.
3. Swim to the Idol House
Taylor Swift is a smart and beautiful musician, so no wonder if she has a lot of fans. Even some of her fans did strange and reckless actions to get Taylor Swift's attention. For example, last April there was a fan who was willing to swim to his idol's house.
A fanatic fan from Taylor Swift swam to her home in Rhode Island. Police see a man walking along the seacoast, about 1 mile from Taylor Swift's home. Then, the police then arrested him because he broke into someone's house without permission.
4. Buy a Used Bottle
Emma Philips from New Zealand really likes Justin Bieber, a brilliant musician. At that time, she had the opportunity to meet her idol at the backstage of a television studio. Justin Bieber then gave her a bottle of mineral water he had drunk.
However, Emma didn't like it and she sold the bottle on TradeMe, a popular e-commerce site. Then, a husband and wife bought the bottle for USD 624. They bought the bottle for the daughter who idolizes Justin Bieber.
5. Do a Plastic Surgery
Still the same as the story above, Tobias Strebel is also a fanatic fan of Justin Bieber. He is willing to do anything in order to get the attention of Justin Bieber, including plastic surgery.
He does plastic surgery for 5 years to make his face look like Justin Bieber. To do this procedure, he spent more than USD 100,000. This operation successfully made him look similar to Justin Bieber, but he needs more than 1 month to recover.
Those are crazy things a fans would do which sounds terrible is also ridiculous. There are still many stories about fans who will do everything for their idols. If you become a fan, what will you do to win the attention of your idol?

Capped Oxford Toe Leather upperThe cadet parade shoe is a classic Oxford design for events and parades.
Bull polishing or spit and shine is a term use for polishing cadets shoes to a high gloss finish. It is a special method that gives a mirror finish. It is extremely effective in polishing leather.Some squadrons require the cadet shoes to be Bulled or polished to a high shine.It is a method used in the armed forces for cleaning and showing leather goods for the inspections.It gives the cadet parade shoes a finish that is like patent leather. Some people keep a pair of shoes in a permanent state of shine just for the parade as it can be time consuming to bull the shoes.It is not easy to achieve this result and it takes some practice.Once you have become efficient in the method great results can be achieved.The method involves applying layers of polish to the cadet parade shoes. It is not a quick process and does take a lot of time to become and expert but with patience you will get results.Unfortunately the layers of polish on the cadet shoes is very brittle and the polish does crack and all the good work can be undone is seconds.
This method can also be used on the army cadet boots

Hi guys,
New to Adonis and web development on a whole. I come from the desktop world primarily using .net.
I've never used laravel but I came across Adonis and it just felt right so i'm about to start a new project using adonis 4 but I just wanted some basic guidance on what any of the experienced guys here would recommend in terms of multi-tenancy setup.
I'm going the standard route where all the tables will have in a tenant_id field where neccessary. To minimise room for error where I may forget a where clause to filter the data, what would be a good way to setup a kind of global filter that functions transparently. Should that be a middleware, a hook or something else?
I'll be using jwt authentication and I will store the tenant_id as part of the payload of the token so I will know what the tenant should be for filter selects and for inserts.
I hope what i'm asking is clear, looking forward to any help you guys can provide.

wq.io provides a consistent interface for working with data from a variety of common formats. However, it is not possible to support every conceivable file format and data structure in a single library. Because of this, wq.io is designed primarily to be customized and extended. To facilitate fully modular customization, the wq.io APIs are designed as combinations of a
BaseIO class and several mixin classes.
BaseIO class and mixins break the process into several steps:
file property on the instance
file property and saves it to a
data property, which should almost always be a
list of
data, e.g. by transforming each row into a
namedtuple for convenience.
These steps and their corresponding classes are detailed in the following pages. When writing to a file, the above steps are done more or less in reverse: the Mapper transforms data back into the
dict format used in the
data list; and the Parser dumps the data into a file-like object prepared by the Loader which then writes the output file.
There are a number of pre-mixed classes provided by wq.io's top level module. By convention, each pre-mixed class has a suffix "IO", e.g.
ExcelFileIO. (Note that
IO in this context is a reference to wq.io, not Python's built-in
io module or its
StringIO class.) The class names provide hints to the mixins that were used in their creation: for example,
JsonFileIO extends
TupleMapper, and
BaseIO. Note that all of the pre-mixed classes extend
TupleMapper, and all IO classes extend
BaseIO by definition.
To extend wq.io, you can subclass one of these pre-mixed classes:
from wq.io import JsonFileIO
class MyJsonFileIO(JsonFileIO):
def parse(self):
# custom parsing code...
... or, subclass one of the mixins and mix your own class:
# Load base classes
from wq.io.base import BaseIO
from wq.io.loaders import FileLoader
from wq.io.parsers import JsonParser
from wq.io.mappers import TupleMapper
# Equivalent:
# from wq.io import BaseIO, FileLoader, JsonParser, TupleMapper
# Define custom mixin class
class MyJsonParser(JsonParser):
def parse(self):
# custom parsing code ...
# Mix together a usable IO class
class MyJsonFileIO(FileLoader, JsonParser, TupleMapper, BaseIO):
Note that the order of classes is important:
BaseIO should always be listed last to ensure the correct method resolution order.
You can then use your new class like any other IO class:
for record in MyJsonFileIO(filename='file.json'):
print record.id

Dowell named associate director of nursing at OUE
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Susan D. Dowell has been named associate director of nursing at the Ohio University Eastern Campus.
She will lead the OUE's new BSN program. which was officially announced in September.
A native of Zanesville, Dowell will continue to serve as associate professor of nursing. Previously, she held a variety of positions within the Ohio School of Nursing, including stints as assistant professor of nursing, laboratory coordinator, clinical instructor and course coordinator.
"Dowell's record of achievement within the Ohio University School of Nursing gives me great confidence in her ability to lead the bachelor of science in nursing program at the Eastern Campus," said Ohio University Eastern Dean Jeremy Webster. "In her more than 14 years at Ohio, Dowell has shown a commitment to student success and learning, as well as a focus on community-building, which are central to our institution's mission and key to the success of the BSN program. I look forward to working with her in this new capacity."
Deborah Henderson, professor and director of the nursing school within Ohio University's College of Health Sciences and Professions, shared Webster's excitement about Dowell's hiring at the Eastern Campus.
"Susan is the perfect choice to lead Ohio University Eastern's new BSN program," Henderson said. "She possesses a vast combination of classroom and clinical experiences that will be essential to preparing students to help shape our nation's complex and changing health care systems."
"I am grateful to be given the opportunity to work with the students, faculty, and staff of the Eastern campus," Dowell said. "Every day, they share their talents with students and affirm Ohio University's vision to provide the highest quality educational opportunities to the region's students. I hope to support and grow those efforts with our nursing students and the community by properly preparing them to meet the needs of an ever-changing and growing health care work force."
According to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, BSN programs are growing in popularity, as employers are expressing a strong preference for new nurses with baccalaureate preparation. Findings from the latest AACN survey on the Employment of New Nurse Graduates show that 46 percent of employers require new hires to have a bachelor's degree while 88 percent strongly prefer baccalaureate-prepared nurses.
"It can't be overstated that demand is great and opportunities are plentiful, both locally and nationally, for nurses with BSN degrees," Webster said. "As a result, we believe the timing is perfect to introduce Susan as the leader of this nationally recognized program to better serve our students and the community."
For information about OUE'sBSN program, contact Dowell at email@example.com or (740) 699-2345.

Share your #oceanesque find with your community!
Do you fancy a swim? Médoc Atlantique is the perfect destination for a beach holiday with its 124 km of sandy beaches. Come and take a dip in the lakes or ocean or laze on the shores of the estuary. There's something for everyone here, come and discover the bunkers, lose yourself in the midst of the pine trees or surround yourself with surfers. Whether you are looking to sunbathe in peace and quiet, keep the children occupied or satisfy your hunger for sports activities, look no further, it's time to enjoy yourself!
Holidays on the shores of a lakeCan you already hear the soothing lapping of the water?
Here, we live in tune with the colours of the lake. Every day these colours give a spectacular show in Lacanau or on the largest freshwater lake in France in Carcans and Hourtin. These magical mirrors are connected by the Canal des Etangs and are the perfect places for water sports. In Bombannes, Piqueyrot or Moutchic, you will be spoilt for choice with the sports and leisure activities on offer.
The lakes are wild and preserved and are also the ideal location for taking a dip in the water with the family, strolling along the shores or taking a fishing trip at dawn.
In the mornings, you will be sheltered from the strong winds, or at the end of the day to watch the sunset, any time is a good time to come and enjoy the crystal-clear water of these lagoon-like lakes.
Lacanau Lake
This lake covers 2,000 hectares and so there's plenty of space for a large choice of water sports, and small charming beaches to enjoy.
Is the most dynamic place to go with the many "beach huts" where you can try your hand at stand-up paddle, canoeing, windsurfing, catamaran, wakeboarding and kitesurfing! You'll have all the space you need to venture out on a pedalo or motor boat (with or without boating license), for fishing trips or just to experience the ultimate relaxation!
Supervised beaches There are 2 supervised beaches at Lacanau Lake: in Moutchic and Longarisse
Don't forget!
The Pointe du Bernos: there is a wonderful walk to do along the water's edge and enjoy the unique viewpoint overlooking Bird Island. Carreyre Bay: hire a paddle board and cruise along with the swans in this charming bay. Lacanau Port: enjoy your dinner whilst watching the sun go down, the colours are incredible!
Carcans-Hourtin Lake
This is the biggest freshwater lake in France and covers 6,000 hectares (the equivalent of almost 1,100 football pitches!).
At this lake there are 8 supervised beaches, the East section is the Natura 2000 zone and on the West side, you will discover the pretty village of Piqueyrot in Hourtin and the famous Bombannes resort, which is an oasis for nature lovers in Carcans Maubuisson.
Located on the edge of the water, this charming resort is ideal for families! The water here is calm and turquoise blue, there are plenty of activities for the children and the whole place can be accessed by bicycle. Come and try your hand at sailing, canoeing, stand-up paddle and pedalo boats. This resort is well-known for windsurfing and enthusiasts love taking advantage of this huge open space!
Bombannes Resort:
Just a short cycle ride away from the centre of Carcans Maubuisson, you will arrive in Bombannes, which is managed by the ONF (National Forests Office). Here there is something for the whole family! Choose from the tennis courts, nature trail, climbing wall, cycling, water-skiing, sailing, stand-up paddle, aquapark, pedalo boats, canoeing and much more. There is even overnight accommodation here.
It's an absolute MUST to take the lake hiking trail which takes you through the forest and around the lake. There is a breathtaking view overlooking the ocean!

If you are looking for a more peaceful place, come and visit the quiet village of Piqueyrot. You will feel like you've gone to the ends of the earth in this little village which has kept its true nature. As well as having a nap in the shade of the pine trees, taking a dip all alone, you can also go sailing here, stand-up paddle, canoeing and much more. There is a restaurant offering traditional but original cuisine, with a wonderful view and extraordinary peace and quiet.

Blah, blah, blah.
I think I've said that before.Hong Kong is one of the biggest ports in the world and though the traffic of goods from China has abated somewhat lately, there's still some monster boats piled high and making their way to all points on the globe. It takes about an hour of bouncing up and down to get to Lama.
Once there you find yourself in a different place. With no buildings over 3 stories and a tranquil vibe its a nice little counterpoint to the go-go of Honkers.
There's only 6000 people and no cars or motorcycles. The limited ferry timetable keeps the city at bay.
People day trip to have lunch at the little ferry terminal and that's what we did today.
Seafood of course. The beast had sharp teeth.
Only in China
and Korea
and Japan
do people eat stuff that belong in a fish tank.That's it for post number 675.
I head off to to Bangkok tomorrow then KL on Tuesday.
See ya from there.Stay well

Friday, 3 quilts completed then, and this morning I pulled a baby quilt out of the "to do" pile and did a quick loopy meander on it. I broke a needle on my last project, and wanted something quick to check the timing out. Seems a bit touchy, but not totally pooched like I thought it was. Maybe this is a reason to keep a pile of not-quilted projects around :)
Fabric out this week:
1/2 yard - binding for 2 wall hangings
1 1/2 yard - backing for baby quilt
Stash totals for the year:
88 yards in
108 yards out
Total: 20 yards out
Drop by Judy's blog for more reports this week.

text: M2M Communication Standards, High-Speed ISOBUS Among Priorities for AEF December 11, 2017 Discussions regarding the use of automotive communication technologies with ag vehicles, wireless infield communications and high-speed ISOBUS were among the highlights of the Autumn 2017 Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) Plugfest event. Held in Stuttgart, Germany, the week-long event also included the testing of 130 products and numerous project team meetings. AEF Plugfest events occur every spring and fall, and they alternate between Europe and the United States. Developers gain tremendous value from their decision to attend, as Plugfest events provide them with the opportunity to test their ag electronic systems with one another. "AEF Plugfest events serve to promote the value of working to ensure improved communications between tractors, implements and agricultural software produced throughout the world," said AEM Technical Director Mark Benishek. M2M Communication Standards One of the Autumn 2017 Plugfest conference discussions centered on the Equipment Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) and its selection of AEF as a partner in developing standards for information and communication (ICT) systems to be used globally. AEF and other groups with have been tasked with establishing a communication package, one which serves to use wireless networks to warn people driving newer cars with communication centers of slow-moving machines on roadways. The collaborative effort is expected to lead to the development standards for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication between automotive vehicles and ag equipment. "The tractors and combines of today are already broadcasting information," said Benishek. "The idea here is to develop the communication networks necessary to provide connectivity between automotive and ag equipment and, at the same time, make our equipment safer on our highways. It's a double win for all." High-Speed ISOBUS The development of high-speed ISOBUS was another topic of note discussed at the Autumn 2017 Plugfest event. Efforts associated with high-speed ISOBOUS include: Developing future-proof ISOBUS with higher bandwidth to satisfy increasing demands for control and data management Compiling requirements for high-speed ISOBUS from use cases Developing real prototypes for the validation of implementation on tractors and implements Delivering a guideline for standardization of high-speed ISOBUS Wireless In-Field Communication How to ensure ag equipment operators can communicate with one another efficiently and effectively was also a focus of discussions at the most recent Plugfest event. The industry is in the process of working toward viable solutions to address wireless in-field communication. Potential use cases exist for wireless in-field communication, and achieving interoperability will be the primary goal for the industry moving forward. For more information on AEF Plugfest events and associated activities, contact AEM Technical Director Mark Benishek (firstname.lastname@example.com, tel: 414-298-4118).
