While IT vendors typically lead a product pitch with cost benefits, it should be no surprise that cost savings alone don't always drive IT purchases. For many organizations, revenue growth may represent an even more compelling driver.
Cloud compute and cloud storage have in many circles become synonymous with cost savings and improving an organization's bottom line. Perhaps a lesser known aspect of the cloud is the ability to help organizations increase their top line revenues.
How exactly does cloud enable you to do this? Let's examine 5 ways below:
- Stand up more IT infrastructure than you could otherwise afford: While this may seem counter-intuitive, successful organizations have the ability rapidly scale their business based on customer demand, and this often requires a relatively massive IT infrastructure. For example, think about the impact on a little-known website with a great idea that suddenly gets an influx of traffic after a positive New York Times or Wall Street Journal article. Traditional IT infrastructure requires capital and maintenance requirements that may be unfathomable for companies still in the growth phase. Unlike creative financing solutions which only ease the capital expense, cloud eliminates the capital, setup and maintenance burdens, providing on-demand IT infrastructure to help your business grow.
- Focus your next hires on growing your business: A 2012 ESG survey showed that up to 72% of IT dollars go to maintaining existing infrastructure. With storage capacities growing at a rapid pace, why continue to add headcount to maintain infrastructure at the same pace? Instead, use cloud storage to minimize IT maintenance, focus existing IT personnel on delivering business-driven initiatives (such as new premium services – see below) and hire strategic talent in marketing and sales to directly increase revenues.
- Create new premium services for your clients: Deploying a new service for your clients may involve a development, test and production effort, requiring a significant financial commitment toward infrastructure during the planning stage. With pay-as-you-go cloud, there is far less investment and commitment in going from concept to deployment. Simply start small and as development reaches milestones, continue to add necessary infrastructure on demand. With cloud, you can roll out new services and high-value premium services with a new level of agility your competitors will envy.
- Use your data to sell smarter. Often the most powerful data to grow your business is sitting in front of you, but may not be accessible if you don't have the infrastructure to store and analyze it live. Whether it is customer profile data, purchase patterns or customer usage data, current and historical data may hold the key to growing your business. With cloud, years of data can be online and available for analysis via query engines available on-demand. Harnessing your data via the cloud can drive the right decisions to grow your business.
- Recover quickly from outages. Let's face it, nothing puts a damper on revenues like outages. Prospects and customers alike may lose confidence after a significant amount of downtime and may never return. A recent survey shows respondents using the cloud recover from outages must faster than those who do not. Cloud enables the secondary server and storage infrastructure that can help your business recover quickly from outages. With rapid recovery, your customers may never realize an outage even occurred.
If these potential top-line benefits are meaningful to your organization, consider introducing cloud into your IT strategy. At the same time, you'll also benefit from the bottom-line cost savings of cloud.
If you already use the cloud, tell us what top- and bottom-line benefits you're experiencing on Twitter or on our Facebook page.

"There's a growing demand from users for things to be faster. When you think about all the transactions or interactions users will have with your product and everything that is between those transactions and interactions - what drives us at Catchpoint Systems is the idea to measure that and to analyze it," explained Leo Vasiliou, Director of Web Performance Engineering at Catchpoint Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 18th Cloud Expo, held June 7-9, 2016, at the Javits Center in New York Ci...

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

An ideal spot to get away from it all for a bit of rest and relaxation. We stayed in Doll lodge a 2 bed stand alone lodge a couple of hundred yards from the hotel. It is one of a few lodges across the car park and slightly up the hill. Quite private with its own parking space and the facilities are excellent. Plenty of tea and coffee and a pint of milk and carton of fresh orange provided on arrival was a nice touch. Hotel does good food. Nice walks in the area. Remote location so ideal for some but not everyone's cup of tea. Close to perfect for us and we had a great stay. The lodge is first class compared to other sites we have stayed at. Great for winding down and chilling out.
Confirmed guest, 2015-07-31
The lodge was perfect. No complaints whatsoever. Very private and beautiful scenery. We would definitely come back.

Nobody knows better than Hillary Clinton the steep political price to pay for voting in favor of an unpopular war. Clinton's 2002 "yes" vote on legislation permitting George W. Bush to hurl America's military against Saddam Hussein's Iraq helped smother her 2008 presidential hopes. Kaine has bluntly told colleagues who are worried about the long-term political fallout of voting yes (or no) to a war on ISIS that ducking a vote now amounts to cowardice and sets a terrifying precedent for unchecked presidential war-making power.

Provincial authorities in northern China said Sunday that they have suspended four local officials for inadequately responding to floods over the past week that killed 114 people and left 111 others missing. The Hebei provincial government said on its official microblog account that it was suspending the head of a development zone in the city of Xingtai, the chief engineer of a city transport bureau and two other bureaucrats. The move comes as China's government has been fighting massive flooding this summer that has also threatened embankments along rivers in central China, with authorities mobilizing troops and heavy equipment to fill the gaps.
It has now been over two years of theories, false leads, heartbreak, and investigation since the Malaysian Airlines flight 370 mysteriously vanished off the radar during a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew aboard. The March 2014 disappearance kicked off a multinational search effort, which initially ranged from China southward toward Australia. As the hope of finding survivors waned, the importance of locating the aircraft and finding answers to what, or who, was responsible for the disappearance waxed.
Turkey pushed on Saturday with a sweeping crackdown against suspected plotters of its failed coup, defiantly telling EU critics it had no choice but to root out hidden enemies. Using new emergency powers, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's cabinet decreed that police could now hold suspects for one month without charge, and announced it would shut down over 1,000 private schools it deems subversive. A week after renegade soldiers tried to oust him with guns, tanks and F16s, Erdogan's government has detained over 13,000 people it suspects are state enemies, mainly soldiers but also police, judges, teachers and civil servants.

By MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's government denounced leading independence war veterans as traitors on Saturday for an unprecedented attack on ageing President Robert Mugabe and vowed to identify its unnamed authors and put them on trial. Mugabe abruptly cancelled a hastily arranged news conference on Friday evening meant to respond to the veterans. War veterans have accused her of having too much influence over her 92-year-old husband.

A sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 aircraft on a record-breaking flight around the world to promote renewable energy was due to depart from Cairo early Sunday on the last leg of its journey. "It's a project for energy, for a better world," Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard told journalists standing in front of the plane which weighs no more than a large car but has the wingspan of a Boeing 747. The plane was scheduled to depart at 1 am Cairo time (2300 GMT) for Abu Dhabi.
Authorities said Saturday that new tests show there is no evidence of a marijuana chemical in a Colorado community's tap water and they believe the initial tests were false. Warnings not to drink the water were lifted Saturday after multiple tests confirmed there was no THC, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient, in the water. Lincoln County sheriff's Capt.

Sen. Tim Kaine called Hillary Clinton his soulmate on Saturday, in his first appearance as her vice presidential pick in front of a crowd of 5,000 at Florida International University. The presumptive Democratic nominee introduced Kaine as "everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not" and a "progressive who likes to get things done," before taking a seat behind him and beaming as he introduced himself to the crowd. "For many of you, this is the first time you've ever heard my name," Kaine said.
The pilot who flew missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which is believed to have gone off route and crashed in the Indian Ocean, conducted a simulation of a similar path just weeks prior, New York magazine reported. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the highly respected airman at the helm of the plane, used an elaborate home-built flight simulator to steer himself over the Strait of Malacca and into the remote southern Indian ocean, a course with striking resemblance to the route MH370 is believed to have taken. The finding, which casts a shadow of suspicion over the 53-year-old pilot, was published Friday by New York magazine, which obtained a confidential document from Malaysian police investigating the incident.
Firefighters struggled on Sunday to contain a fast-spreading wildfire that has killed at least one person, destroyed 18 homes and forced hundreds of evacuations in the drought-stricken canyons north of Los Angeles, officials said. It is threatening a string of small communities near Santa Clarita, just outside the sprawling Angeles National Forest, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement. First reported on Friday afternoon, the blaze has forced at least 1,500 residents to evacuate their homes and at least 18 homes have been destroyed, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said in a statement.

Virginia's state Supreme Court ruled Friday that Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive order restoring the voting rights of more than 200,000 ex-felons violated the state's constitution. The 4-3 decision follows the controversial executive order signed by McAuliffe in April, which granted voting rights to ex-offenders who had completed their prison sentence as well as their term of supervised probation or parole. "The assertion that a Virginia Governor has the power to grant blanket, group pardons is irreconcilable with the specific requirement in Article V, Section 12 that the Governor communicate to the General Assembly the 'particulars of every case' and state his 'reasons' for each pardon," Chief Justice Donald Lemons wrote in the majority opinion.

Apple Inc found itself on the receiving end of a small, short-lived anti-U.S. protest this week in China, the tech firm's biggest overseas market and a country where foreign firms have suffered damaging boycotts following international spats. A handful of unofficial Apple stores were picketed and social media users encouraged each other to destroy their Apple goods, in a rare instance of the tech firm being targeted as a symbol of perceived injustice following an international ruling against Chinese territorial claims. "There's not much Apple or any other foreign firm can do to prevent such patriotic protests," said analyst Nicole Peng at researcher Canalys, who sees no impact to Apple's sales from the recent protest.
By Maximiliano Rizzi EL CALAFATE, Argentina (Reuters) - Facing corruption probes that threaten to land her behind bars, former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez described her growing legal troubles as part of a "persecution" of progressive Latin American leaders that has boosted the right in the region. Speaking to foreign media at her Patagonian estate, Fernandez compared her situation to that of Brazil's suspended center-left President Dilma Rousseff, now subjected to an impeachment trial in the Senate. "In the case of Brazil, the intervention of a partisan judiciary is very clear, and you're seeing it here as well," Fernandez said, describing parallel efforts by media to smear progressive leaders.

South Sudan takes delivery of Chinese infantry weapons
Written by Oscar Nkala, Tuesday, 15 July 2014
According to Bloomberg, the consignment supplied by Chinese arms manufacturer China North Industries Group Corp (Norinco) includes 100 HJ-73D anti-tank missile launchers, nine simulators, 200 batteries, 1 200 missiles and spares parts worth $14.5 million.
The HJ-73D is a Chinese clone of the Russian AT-3 Sagger, but features a tandem warhead for defeating explosive reactive armour (ERA), and semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) guidance. The new anti-tank weapons may have been bought in response to Sudan's acceptance of 110 T-72M1 tanks between 2010 and 2012.
The rest of the $38 million shipment includes small arms, notably 9 574 Type 56 assault rifles (based on the AK-47/AKM) with 20 million rounds of 7.62x39 mm ammunition; 2 394 40 mm grenade launchers with 20 000 BGL2 anti-personnel grenades; 319 Type 80 machineguns (based on the PKM) with 2 million rounds of 7.62x54 mm ammunition; 319 Type 69-1 rocket propelled grenade launchers (RPG-7 copy) with 40 000 high explosive anti-tank rounds; and 660 NP-42 pistols (export version of the QSZ-92) with two million rounds of 9x19 mm ammunition. It is believed the grenade launchers are designed to be fitted under the barrels of the assault rifles.
The shipment left the Chinese port of Xinjiang in Guangdong province on 16 May aboard the Feng Huang Song and arrived in the Kenyan port of Mombasa on 7 June.

South Sudan
South Sudanese defence minister General Kuol Manyang Juuk confirmed the delivery of the Chinese arms saying they were ordered well before the outbreak of the ongoing civil war in December last year. "My role is to defend the nation. That means I have to arm my army. The army has to be equipped," Juuk told Bloomberg.
China has good relations with South Sudan and currently buys most of its oil output. Chinese-made weapons have been used widely in the series of low-level rebellions which have taken place in the country since its independence from Khartoum a few year ago. Conflict monitoring groups have reported the use of Chinese-made weapons which include mortars, B10 recoilless rifles, Type 56-1 assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns and landmines.
Due to the current conflicts in both Sudan and South Sudan, in which at least ten thousand civilians have died recently, the European Union maintains an arms embargo on both countries.

I used to send 3 bottles to daycare, each with 4 oz of breastmilk. About three weeks ago LO stopped drinking all his bottles. Now he will only drink one bottle a day while at daycare. He eats solid food very well, but I feel like he's missing some nutrition now that he won't drink all his milk. Is it normall for him to cut way down on the bottles at this age?

My LO nurses when he gets up, then eats solids/snacks all day with whole milk sippys, then nurses before he goes to bed....every couple days he'll take a 4 oz bottle in the afternoon...but that's only cause I offer it...he doesn't cry for it! He seems to be getting enough food/liquids cause he's still sleeping through the night!

I still nurse LO in the morning and before bed. Though I'm seriously considering weaning him for various reasons.
I just thought he'd still need more bottles during the day. With ODS he was still drinking a lot at this age ( though he was on formula, not breastmilk.)

Audi E-tron concept car shows future of in-car techPocket-lint
Who didn't watch I, Robot or Minority Report and wonder when we'd actually get to start driving truly futuristic cars like those featured in said films?
According to Audi's CEO and Chairman Rupert Stadler, it might happen sooner that you'd think. Consumer electronics are changing the design of your next car, and this year's CES in Las Vegas saw Audi, Ford, Hyundai and others battling to out-do each in the race to be king of in-car tech.
Audi was the first to show its hand, Stadler's driving onto the stage to deliver his Wednesday morning keynote in the company's E-tron Spyder concept, which could be coming to a showroom near you as early as 2013.
The E-tron Spyder is an electric plug-in hybrid two-seater equipped with a 221-kW (300-hp) twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors producing a total of 64 kW at the front axle. The car accelerates to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 4.4 seconds, and top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h (155.34 mph).
But it wasn't just the sculptural forms of the E-tron that caught our eye. In both the Wednesday keynote and on Audi's stand, we saw a series of new technologies that the company says will be available in its next generation of models.
Like kids in a candy store, it's difficult to know where to start. The A7 is Audi's newest model, so that's as good a place as any. Described by Audi as having 'the best head up display in the world' (known for their modesty, these Germans) the A7 comes equipped with a full colour unit, which projects the car's current speed, turn-by-turn navigation arrows and speed limit onto the windscreen in front of the driver. As if that's not enough, it'll even tell you off if you're getting too close to the car in front.
It looked impressive enough, but Audi's taking things to the next level with an 'augmented reality head up display'. This uses lasers to project sat nav turns onto the actual lanes the driver needs to be in, or overlays arrows onto the turns they need to take, dynamically. Stadler promised it would appear in some of Audi's next generation, high-end cars.
But it's not just Audi's executive cars that are in for a technological treat. The next A3 will feature 3D Sat Nav, high definition graphics displays, and an infotainment control joystick (MMI in Audi-speak), which comes with a touchpad on top. The technology is similar to what the company currently offers in its flagship A8, a touch sensitive pad integrating hand-writing recognition, which allows users to simply write letters and numeral with their finger tip on the pad, in order to spell out destination inputs in the sat nav. It'll also allow them to pinch, pull, and zoom in and out of the infotainment system in a way that'll please any fan of the iPad or iPhone.
It's being made possible thanks to Audi's hardware partner NVIDIA, and the same Tegra chip that powers certain new Superphones and tablets launched at CES. What's particularly impressed us was that the chip and motherboard module are installed in the car in a way which means they can be easily swapped out and upgraded over the lifetime of the car, as newer, better technology develops. Audi's hoping this'll solve the problem of your A3's infotainment system looking like it was developed by the team behind Pacman, come ten years time.
While on stage with Audi's Stadler, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang also demoed a 3D cockpit environment. Rendering at 60fps and able to simulate any material, there was no word on whether this was coming to an Audi anytime soon, but the fact that it was shown during the German car company's keynote leaves us thinking it's something Audi's working on.
Not discounting the next generation navigation display for the A8, which features Google Streetview, Stadler kept the biggest piece of Audi technology news to the very end of his keynote. He announced 'e.solutions', a collaboration between Audi and Finnish firm Elecktrobit, to integrate third party software into Audi's future cars. What Audi officials are privately letting on, is that the firm could end up offering its own Apps store, which it could open up to third party developers, to release their own apps on. Rumour has it that it's also looking at in-car media system running on the Android platform, which would presumably offer up an even mightier host of possibilities.
In the context of all this, we can't help wondering how anyone will remain focused on the road for long enough to avoid crashing in future. But Audi says we needn't worry about that, as it'll apply strict safety criteria to all future technology it allows into its car. Even then, should your eyes wonder from the road, Audi's Car-2-X technology will detect where other cars are on the road, and stop you having a crash before you even knew it was going to happen.
It all sounds very 'Minority Report' to us.

Feeding Healthy Vegan Infants and Children
Reed Mangels, PhD, RD shares the science of feeding vegan infants.
I am deeply saddened when I see headlines such as "Vegan Baby Hospitalized for Severe Malnutrition" or "Vegan Couple Sentenced to Life over Baby's Death." These tragedies are needless and could easily be prevented by following some basic guidelines for infant feeding.
For the first 6 months after birth, babies should ideally be given breast milk and only breast milk. That's according to not only the American Academy of Pediatrics but also the World Health Organization. If breast feeding is not possible, a commercial infant formula is the only other alternative. That's it, for the first 6 months. Juice, cereals, plant milks, even soy milk are not the right foods for young infants and can lead to inadequate nutrition. Breast milk and formula contain readily absorbed nutrients with ratios of protein, fat and carbohydrate that support the baby's growth. Breastfeeding should continue at least through the first year with infant formula the only safe alternative as a primary beverage. When solids are introduced, after age 6 months, vegan infants should be given nutritious foods such as pureed fruits and vegetables, strained or mashed beans, tofu, and infant cereals. Vegan diets can easily meet an older infant's or toddler's needs for protein, vitamins, and minerals.
If we look closely into the news reports of malnourished "vegan" infants, we see that they've been given "mainly soy milk and apple juice" or that they have "multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies." Infants whose mothers are well-nourished and who are breastfeeding successfully or who are getting adequate infant formula are not going to have multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Just as for any other infant, breastfed vegan infants need supplements of iron and vitamin D. Deficiencies of iron, calcium, and other nutrients that are reported in sensational news stories point to a lack of knowledge on the part of parents about what constitutes a healthy diet for an infant. Yes, it does take time and thought to feed infants and young children nutritious diets but the result is worth it.
For more information download our simple guides for feeding vegan or vegetarian infants and toddlers.
Vegetarian Infants (PDF) offers tips for breastfeeding and formula feeding during the early months of a life. When it is time to add solid food, parents will discover lists of the foods that provide the best sources of iron, zinc, calcium, Vitamin B12 and other nutrients essential for a growing infant.

text: Wanted to sample Boise's best pizza, and the Front Door made several lists. That said, the "Boss" pizza was good, but not anything memorable. The toppings were good quality and fresh, but the dough reminded me of generic frozen pizza dough. Place has a huge beer selection, some great music playing and our server was great. Very friendly and helpful.

Journal can be a helpful tool for gardeners
It happens all the time. You really enjoyed a variety of corn or tomato but can't remember its name when planting season comes around again. Or you dig into that bare spot to plant something only to find a dormant perennial or bulbs were there first.
Keeping a garden journal is an easy solution for the dilemma of lost names and hidden plants. A journal can make it easy to record your successes and failures, a memory jogger for names and sources and a mapping system for garden beds to remind you where you planted.
A journal can be a simple notebook in your tool bucket or as complicated as a formally bound book, sophisticated computer database or a tablet app where you can record everything. It can also be a series of journals for weather, planting or individual gardens. There isn't any right or wrong way to keep one.
A seed journal makes a handy way to keep track of what you planted and its source. I have a three-ring binder in the garage that I put my empty seed packets in, as well as the tags from plants I buy at the nursery. If I order from a catalog, I stick the packing slip in the notebook as a record of my order.
A vegetable planting journal can be tucked into your tool bucket when you head for the garden. I keep a Rite in the Rain notebook with all-weather writing paper where I first lay out what I am going to plant in the spring. I can plan the succession crops that will be planted after the spinach, lettuce and other early crops finish. Past year's records let me plan my crop rotations from year to year so I avoid pest issues and manage the fertility needs for different vegetables. Corn is a good successor to beans because beans fix nitrogen in the soil that the corn loves. As I plant, I record the exact date of planting and later the harvest dates.
Keeping track of what you plant in your perennial and shrub beds can be a challenge. A journal with bed maps can help you remember where you planted those peonies or perennials and bulbs you got on sale last fall. The maps can be drawn to scale and printed off on large sheets of paper and it's a simple matter to measure the point on the map. Since tags left in the ground with the plants tend to disappear, you can create some pocket pages to keep the tags near the map for future reference.
My husband is the keeper of our weather journal. He records the temperatures and rainfall through the year so we can look back to see what happened last year or track changes over several years. There are also home weather stations on the market that will record the weather data for your yard and download it into a database that you can run reports on temperature trends, rainfall amounts, wind and humidity.

Theft victims say crook spied on them before making his move
BATON ROUGE- A couple got a shock recently; a burglar was rummaging through their bedroom late at night.
There "was a tall man with a bandanna the western style bandanna wrapped around his head," homeowner Kim Anderson said about who was in her bedroom a few nights ago.
"I just started screaming," she said. "It was a blood curdling scream."
She and her husband, Pat, said the man watched from their backyard until the moment was right to strike.
"He got the comfort level," Pat said. "He... Saw us sitting... watching TV, he went around to the other side of the house and started to go ahead and start robbing us," he said.
The couple believes the man got in through a door that was cracked open for their dog.
Pat chased the man out of their house, but the crook was able to get away with a few hundred dollars in cash.
"Who would ever believe that someone is going through your bedroom, going through your stuff, while you're sitting within feet of your bedroom," the couple questioned.

Nanotechnology researchers go ballistic over graphene
Carbon comes in many different forms, from the graphite found in pencils to the world's most expensive diamonds. In 1980, we knew of only three basic forms of carbon, namely diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. Then, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes were discovered and all of a sudden that was where nanotechnology researchers wanted to be. Recently, though, there has been quite a buzz about graphene. Discovered only in 2004, graphene is a flat one-atom thick sheet of carbon. Existing forms of carbon basically consist of sheets of graphene, either bonded on top of each other to form a solid material like the graphite in your pencil, or rolled up into carbon nanotubes (think of a single-walled carbon nanotube as a graphene cylinder) or folded into fullerenes. Physicists had long considered a free-standing form of planar graphene impossible; the conventional wisdom was that such a sheet always would roll up. Initially using such high-tech gadgets like pencils and sticky tape to strip chunks of graphite down to layers just one atom thick, the process has now been refined to involve more expensive instruments such as electron beam and atomic force microscopes. Despite being isolated only three years ago, graphene has already appeared in hundreds of papers. The reason scientists are so excited is that two-dimensional crystals (it's called 2D because it extends in only two dimensions - length and width; as the material is only one atom thick, the third dimension, height, is considered to be zero) open up a whole new class of materials with novel electronic, optical and mechanical properties.

LONDON, March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:
Analysis of the European Marine Generator Set Market
Investment in oilfield exploration activities drives demand
The European marine generator set market is mature, thus, has slow growth. Much of the shipbuilding activities have migrated to the Asian countries of South Korea, China, and Japan. Eurozone recession, combined with financing difficulties, is affecting demand for new vessels and, thus, gensets used in Europe. However, Europe has its competitive advantage in building advance ships. Moreover, oil and gas exploration and production activities and growth in renewable energy (especially offshore wind) are key driving factors for ships and vessel production and, thus, gensets in the European market. The study is from 2010 to 2017 and the base year is 2012.
Executive Summary
•The European marine generator set (genset) market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ofX% from 2012 to 2017 in revenue and units are expected to increase from X in 2012 to X in 2017.
•Commercial vessels such as cargo ships, tankers, and tug boats accounted for more than half of the genset unit sales, followed by pleasure vessels such as ferries, yachts, and ships.
•Oil and gas exploration activities in the North Sea and the focus on manufacturing advance ships are driving the growth of the marine sector in Europe. However, Asia is the hub of shipbuilding with the bulk of business concentrated in China, South Korea, and Japan.
•Moreover, the Eurozone debt crisis and the ongoing recession are affecting demand for boats and ships and, hence, demand for gensets is low.
•The low power range generator set of rating below XkW is highly competitive. Regional distribution faces fierce competition from Turkish, Chinese, and Korean manufacturers.
•Medium to large power range gensets (X kW to X kW and above X MW) are having good growth and not much price erosion compared to the smaller power range.
CEO's Perspective
1. The European marine genset market is mature, however, slow growth is indicated.
2. Eurozone recession and financing difficulties are affecting demand for new vessels and, thus, gensets used.
3. Oil and gas exploration and production activities are the driving factors for ships and vessels, indirectly increasing genset demand.
4. Eighty-nine per cent volume of gensets sold in Europe is in the range ofX kW-X kW. However, the X kW-X kW and X MW-X MW both account for X% of the revenue.
5. Hybrid power and propulsion (use of lithium-ion batteries, renewable energy, and biofuel gensets) are gaining popularity.
