Consumer Watch
Wendy Knowler fights for your rights...
My inbox tells me it's time for a refresher column on the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) as it applies to returns, especially as most of us appear to be in the grip of the festive season spending frenzy already.
At the root of consumers' confusion – and that of many a retailer, too, apparently – is the failure to make a distinction between returning something that's defective, and returning something because it's unwanted (an unsuitable gift, a change of heart, or simply the discovery that it can be bought cheaper elsewhere).
Here's the thing – if there is nothing wrong with something you have bought, the store does not have to take it back at all.
The CPA only covers the return of defective goods.
Most stores will take back non-defective goods, but they are fully entitled to impose certain conditions in such cases, such as insisting on the presentation of a till slip, tags and original packaging, limiting the return period and offering a credit note or exchange instead of a refund.
To my mind, that's fair.
But many consumers don't see it that way. As far as they're concerned, the CPA entitles them to a refund of anything they've bought, within six months, and that's the end of it.
"Jeni" bought a set of two dummies from a specialist baby store after her baby threw his out of the car window.
But on returning home, she found another dummy, and as she hadn't opened the packaging of the new dummies, she returned them to the shop.
"Only to be told, 'no refunds, we'll exchange'," she said.
"I had nothing else to buy there, but they flatly refused to simply refund my credit card.
"Now I'm forced to buy something else from their store, leaving even more of a sour taste in my mouth.
"What are the rules?"
Simply put – no law compels that store to take back those dummies at all. If they do, they get to make the rules; in this case, an exchange instead of |a refund.
"Nazim" tried to return a birthday gift he had received from his wife to a store at the Gateway shopping centre in KwaZulu-Natal recently as he did not like the style.
In spite of him doing so three days after it was bought, in its original packaging, the store refused to refund him, he told Consumer Watch.
"They have instead offered a credit note to purchase any other item we choose at any point in time in the future," he said.
"They also have a sign in the store that claims that they do not offer refunds on a purchase.
"I took the credit note and informed the salesman that this was against the CPA and it was incumbent upon them to offer a refund."
He then spoke with the store owner. "He insisted that he had been on CPA training and they don't offer refunds because we paid by credit card and he gets a 5 percent bank charge from the bank to ring up the sale and then a 5 percent charge to reverse the sale.
"He therefore cannot have a 10 percent charge for not making a sale. Further to this, he said his point-of-sale system did not allow for sales to be reversed."
Confusion reigns!
Those blanket "no refunds" signs are not CPA compliant, because of the distinction between the return of defective and non-defective goods.
A "no refunds" policy only applies to the return of unwanted but non-defective goods.
But if they prove to be not fit for purpose within six months of purchase, a consumer has every right to insist on a refund, provided they weren't somehow to blame for the problem.
So all that supposedly CPA-trained store owner should have told Nazim was that the CPA did not address the return of non-defective goods.
And if his system really does not allow for refunds – how ridiculous! – he'd be on the wrong side of the law should someone return a defective product and ask for a refund.
The only time a consumer has the right to demand a refund for goods, which are in perfectly good order, but unwanted for some reason, is when they are bought as a result of direct marketing – that's when a company initiates contact with a consumer directly, via SMS, phone call, e-mail or stopping them in a shopping centre.
In such cases, consumers have the benefit of a five business-day cooling-off period, but cancellation must be done in writing.
Bear this in mind when you're Christmas shopping. Ask for gift receipts, and find out what a store's returns policy is before doing the deal.
If price is your only criteria when shopping, be prepared for some unpleasant surprises when it comes to after-sales service.
And remember, if a store says it will "take back" an item if it is not suitable, it is unlikely to mean it will issue a refund for it, although this is what most consumers understand it to mean.
"Take back" means they will exchange it, or issue a credit for it.

Midfielder has Welling contract cancelled by mutual consent
Updated 1:02pm Wednesday 11th June 2014 in Sport
Welling's summer recruitment problems continue after Matthew Harriott became the latest player to change his mind about playing for the Conference outfit next season.
The former Sheffield United Northampton Town midfielder only joined recently but is now looking for a new club after he and the Wings agreed to cancel his current deal by mutual consent.
Meanwhile, striker Ross Lafayette, who last week also had a change of heart about representing the Park View Road team in 2014-15, has this morning officially completed a move to newly-promoted League Two side Luton Town.

Los Angeles • "Godzilla" has smashed its way to the top of the box office.
The 3-D monster movie from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures had the second-largest debut of the year this weekend with $93.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"Godzilla" trails Disney-Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which opened with $95 million in April, and sits just above "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," which debuted with $91.6 million this month.
Paying homage to the 60-year-old franchise in tone and spectacle, the latest iteration continues the legend of 1954 Japanese original — Ishiro Honda's "Gojira." Reviews of the film were positive — it earned a "fresh" rating from review aggregator RottenTomatoes.com, with 72 percent of film critics responding positively.
Legendary Pictures President Jon Jashni said the film did better than expected partly because it was "starting to get sampled even by those who didn't think it would necessarily be for them. They didn't have nostalgic feelings for it." He said friends or family members likely recommended the movie to those viewers.
Jashni added that the success of "Godzilla" is "validating" after last year's "Pacific Rim" and "Jack the Giant Slayer" performed below expectations for the Warner-Legendary team.
The film, directed by Gareth Edwards, also helped eliminate the bad memory of another of the franchise's remakes, Roland Emmerich's "Godzilla," released in 1998 and starring Matthew Broderick. Backed by Sony, the film opened with $44 million.
Two other reboots — "Godzilla 1985" and "Godzilla 2000" — also flopped.
May is prime real estate for studios looking to launch or advance franchises. The top two opening weekends of all time in North America occurred in May — "The Avengers" opened with $207.4 million in 2012 and "Iron Man 3" debuted with $174.1 million in 2013.
"Godzilla," starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, marks the largest May opening ever for Warner.
It's also the year's biggest opening for Imax globally. It generated $103 million and 14.35 million admissions from 16,946 screens in 64 markets outside the U.S. and Canada.
"Godzilla" knocked last weekend's No. 1 hit, Universal Pictures "Neighbors," down to No. 2 in its second weekend.
The raunchy Seth Rogen and Zac Efron-led comedy earned $26 million, bringing its domestic total to $91.5 million.
Rounding out the top three was "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," with $17 million. So far it's earned a total of $172 million domestically.
Also opening this weekend was Disney's feel-good sports drama "Million Dollar Arm," starring Jon Hamm, which landed at No. 4 with $11 million.
"The summer is about having a diverse lineup, and this film will have legs," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. "If superheroes and monsters aren't your pleasure, you can go see a more character-driven sports movie."
In its fourth weekend, Fox's femme-fueled comedy "The Other Woman," starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton, gained $6.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $72 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.

Of Riots, Honesty and Mending Society
If you'd wanted to hear my sermon, you'd have come to Shul, but...
Just before Tisha B'Av, I spoke about two recent murders in the Jewish world. I suggested that the root cause of much evil in society is the lack of respect for human life, something very much on the mind of the prophet Isaiah when he rebuked our ancestors. This thought seems especially relevant this weekend, as the world marks the 10th anniversary of the '9/11' attacks on the USA. As we think of the victims, their families and mull over a day which destabilised the world in radical ways, Isaiah's message seems especially apt.
Just after that Shabbat at the beginning of August, the UK was treated to a series of devastating riots. Exploiting unrest over the death of a man in a police shoot-out, violent criminals looted, burned and destroyed high-street shops and warehouses, causing huge damage, closing businesses and terrifying local residents. Much has been written about the riots, including an important and sensitive piece by the Chief Rabbi here. Many of us will have also been distressed to note the appearance of some Stamford Hill Chassidim caught rubbernecking in footage from the Tottenham riots. This has given rise to a new anecdote: there are three types of people in Stamford Hill – those who don't have a television; those who do have a television but don't tell anyone; those who now have a television!
This week's parashah ends with two, ostensibly unrelated, mitzvot – the requirement to deal honestly in business, and the obligation to eliminate the memory of Israel's murderous archenemy, Amalek. Rashi addresses this juxtaposition:
If you cheat with weights and measures, you should fear the attack of the enemy... (Rashi to Devarim 25:17)
It is noteworthy that the Torah refers to a dishonest person as an 'abomination' (Devarim 25:16), a form of opprobrium usually reserved for the most severe transgressions. According to Seforno (commentary to Devarim 32:16), these acts drive away the divine presence – that is they cause the rupture and demise of society.
But that is just the point – dishonesty and bloodshed, here represented by crooked business dealings and Amalek, are closely linked. A society in which there is no respect for the property of others will, given time, slide into one in which human life is cheap and dispensable. It is a small and frighteningly-easy progression from looting to killing, from the abomination of theft to the abomination of bloodshed.
Yet the converse must also be true – scrupulous honesty mends society, invites spirituality and nurtures our sense of the value of every human being.

ANDERSON — "Special needs" means a mental or physical handicap for most, but in the adoption world, it means children who are harder to place. For the families who adopt them, though, the words have no meaning.
While the term does include children with certain medical and emotional needs, most children in the foster care system who are considered special needs are 2 years of age and older or have at least one sibling, according to the Indiana Department of Child Services. The circumstances add extra challenges that fewer prospective parents are willing to face.
Lapel resident Kristy Allender understands those challenges. She and her husband, Carl, have been foster parents to 53 children.
Allender said she considers all of her foster kids her children, but there was something about biological siblings Kadan and Julian that made her choose adoption.
"They grew in (their biological mother's) tummy, but they grew in our hearts," Allender said.
Allender and her husband have two biological children, Kourtney, 22, and CJ, 19, but she said there's no difference between them and her adoptive children. In fact, the word "adopted" as an adjective was often referred to as "the a-word" in the house.
"You're only born once," Allender said. "You being adopted is a one-time event. You're not forever my adopted son. You're my son."
Allender said she knew the brothers belonged in her home permanently their first day there and the boys' circumstances allowed them to be adopted. Their biological mother was young and there was neglect, but Allender said the woman cares about them and was happy they were adopted together.
Carolynn Barr, a case worker for adoption and foster care agency The Villages, said children in the system know their parents can't care for them but it doesn't necessarily make it easier for them to adapt.

Learn How To Quit Smoking With These Tips
The decision to stop smoking is one that many people think about. There are many reasons why people want to quit and just as many reasons why they are not successful. Increase your chances for success with the tips and techniques from this article. You may find that the you are more successful since you have these tips to help you.
Make sure you have the right attitude. You can not take quitting as a deprivation. Instead, think of this process as a favor that you are doing for yourself. By quitting you are helping your body and making a healthier change that will in turn lead to a healthier happier you!
If you smoke as a way to control stress, you'll want to have other stress remediation techniques ready when you decide to quit. Keep yourself out of situations that may stress you out for the first few weeks after you've quit. You can also manage your stress through yoga, meditation or by getting a massage.
If you want to quit smoking, you need to identify factors that will motivate you to stop. Preventing lung cancer, tooth decay, gum disease and emphysema, or protecting your family are strong motivators. Showing respect for your body and for the gift of life is also a powerful motivating force. Whatever reason you choose, it needs to be enough to prevent you from lighting up again in the future.
Set a day that you plan on quitting your smoking habit permanently. Write down this date on your calendar, and plan on this day. Your mind should be ready for a new change that will last for the remainder of your life. You could even have a small party on the morning of the day that you're quitting.
Do not quit alone. Tell everyone you around on regularly that you are trying to quit smoking. They can provide support and encouragement and e-cigarette it can make a huge difference. You might also consider a support group or a counselor. Behavior therapy can help you come up with and stick to strategies that will help you quit smoking.
When you are trying to quit smoking, be sure that you are drinking plenty of water. Not only is water good for you, but it also fulfills the need to have something in your mouth. Also, large amounts of water help to clear out nicotine and other chemicals in your body caused by cigarettes.
If the cigarettes you smoke after meals are some of the hardest to give up, replace the habit of smoking after eating with brushing your teeth or chewing minty gum. Slowly, you will break your old habit and build a much healthier association between finishing a meal and freshening your breath.
When you are fighting the urge to smoke, go and do some exercise. Not only will your body benefit while you are keeping fit, the physical activity can help to keep the urges at bay. Anything that can be used as a distraction while you are working through the crave is a great tool to use.
Reduce the amount of cigarettes you have each day until you reach zero. Unless there is a health reason for you to stop smoking immediately, quitting tobacco is easier when you do it gradually. Cut back on cigarettes first and quitting will be less of a shock to your body.
As bad as your urge is, it is not okay to take even one little puff. People who are trying to quit smoking believe that it will not harm them to have one puff of a cigarette. The problem is, this one puff leads to one whole cigarette, and then to one whole pack.
If smoking is your reaction to stress, replace it with a positive one. Consider getting a massage when you are stressed or participating in an exercise class. Even doing something simple like taking find out more a bath or enjoying a light snack is a better reaction to stress than smoking is. Doing these things will help you to quit, while still keeping your stress level in check.Electronic CigarettesMany people find theelectronic cigarettesa great way to quit smoking. They do not have as many of the negative effects of normal cigarettes and can be a good way to taper off your smoking from your normal levels to a lesser point, until you are no longer smoking at all.
For many people, smoking focuses largely on oral fixation. If this sounds like you, you must be willing to occupy your hands and mouth in a healthier manner. One easy method that is generally successful is keeping gum, toothpicks or candies on hand. Electronic cigarettes are another popular choice for quick relief.
Smoking And Tobacco
Talk to your doctor about quitting. Your personal physician has dealt with dozens if not hundreds of patients before you that tried quitting smoking. He or she likely knows exactly what treatment options work and which ones don't. The difference between chain smoking and tobacco freedom is often a single prescription.
Electronic Cigarette
Replace your pack of cigarettes with an electronic cigarette. Many former smokers have found success with these devices, which work by vaporizing a liquid that contains nicotine. When the user exhales, the cloud looks just like smoke, but it's actually vapor. Using one of these devices can make it much easier to quit smoking, since it simulates the act so effectively.
It is a fact that many smokers wish they could quit. Many may try and get discouraged. If you have failed before, don't be discouraged. Take what you learned from that failure and combine it with the tips and techniques from the article above and you may find that success can be yours.

Baby Eczema Sufferers
Posted 03/30/2011
My DS had it for a while. Our ped. told us when we give him a bath, to let him play and stuff first and bathe him last. Don't let him "marinate" in the soapy water. Also, don't use lotion. We use Johnson and Johnson's All Natural (or something like that) baby soap. It's the only thing he can use without getting a rash.
You uncultured swine.

Interesting predictions. I
Interesting predictions. I think there's a little bit too much optimism about the Brewers and probably not quite enough for the Cubs, but it'll certainly be interesting to see how things shake out.
The Brewers and Pirates are
The Brewers and Pirates are my two sleepers in the National League. The Brewers quietly have assembled a nice pitching staff, and if Rickie Weeks and Prince Fielder grow into superstars like many think they both will, then look out for this team. The Pirates are blessed with a lot of quality young arms, a potentially nice lineup and perhaps the most underrated manager in baseball.
Personally, I am looking
Personally, I am looking forward to this seasons collapse of the Cardinals. No pitching other than Carpenter and one key injury (other than another Edmonds concussion) and this team self destructs.
What i just posted
What i just posted there:
"Chad says:
February 15th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Homerism at its finest.
Milwaukee still sucks. Remember that.
Cinci - no chance.
The only reason the Cubs are in the mix is that they just spent a billion dollars and have done more to improve than any other team in the division. The Cards are done. They only won, what, 86 games? Its gonna take 90+ this year. Watch out for Houston!!!!"
While I don't think the
While I don't think the Cardinals did anything to improve, Reyes was a pretty big-time pitching prospect and at the very least should duplicate Suppan's numbers. Are they still planning to put Wainwright in the rotation? If so, he's got a lot of upside, and he's not going to do worse than Marquis.
That leaves Wells vs Weaver...that's a wash to me, Wells will probably be better actually.
And an ugly 5th starter that they hope Mulder will take over sooner than later.
They're not that bad off and a few breaks and they can hit 90 wins again. Of course I could say that about any team in the NL Central besides the Pirates probably (a few breaks and I think they could be .500).
"They're not that bad off
"They're not that bad off and a few breaks and they can hit 90 wins again.'
That would be a 7 win improvement from a team that didn't improve. While you pointed out that their rotation seems to be equal, Jim Edmonds is only getting older and Scott Rolen keeps getting hurt. Sure, there is no reason why Rolen can't be 100% but old man Edmonds is not going to be the hitter he once was. Puljos is a given but I just see this team being @.500. I clearly see the Astros and Cubs being +.500.
Yeah, I think they're an
Yeah, I think they're an 83-85 win team again, but so is ever team in the NL Central besides the Pirates. It's really going to be who gets lucky with the injuries (or lack thereof) and where the career years come from...
I disagree. Milwaukee was
I disagree. Milwaukee was everyone's sleeper pick last year and I screamed that they sucked and would be sub .500. And they will be again. Cinci, Milwaukee and Pitt will all be under .500 again. They are not .500 teams nor will they be.
I see the Astros as a 2 man
I see the Astros as a 2 man offense and a one man rotation. They would have to get huge years from Scott and Endsberg to have an average offense and after Oswalt their rotation is pretty horid.
well yeah, obviously 5-6
well yeah, obviously 5-6 teams in the NL central will not all be .500 or just above. Injuries and bad luck will hit some of them, but talent-wise it's pretty even across the board imo....
well Jennings isn't complete
well Jennings isn't complete crap, no reason he shouldn't easily duplicate Pettite's season at the very least. Their season completely hinges on Clemens coming back or not....
Offensively they're better than last year, Luke Scott certainly won't duplicate his 2nd half from last season but it'll be better than anything Preston Wilson contributed in the 1st half.
Across the board? Soriano,
Across the board?
Soriano, Lee and Ramirez tower over the big three of Milwaukee. Next, Albert, Rolen and Edmonds and then C.Lee, Berkman and Ensberg.
These are far superior to the rest of the central.
I'm trying to go a bit
I'm trying to go a bit deeper than 3 deep on the offensive side Chad....
We can play what-if's all day, but there's no certainty in any of these clubs. If Z, Hill, Prior all throw 30+ starts, I think we win going away and challenge for best record in the NL. And I do think we'll have the best or 2nd best offense in the Central (probably top 5 in the NL).
But if Prior stays injured, the innings catch up to Z, Izturis bats 2nd, a bird crashes into Ramirez's eye and we're not so great....
But whatever, I picked the Cubs and I'll stick to it, they seem the best fitted to handle injuries this year.
I'm not playing what ifs.
I'm not playing what ifs. I'm playing the core talent. and the Cubs lineup is freaking stacked this year. I think we will hit the ball so well, that we can carry a middle of the pack starting pitching staff.
Hilarious. In the face of
Hilarious. In the face of uncertainty, be a homer, I guess.
Cubs have the best offense, middling starting pitching, good bullpen.
Brewers have the best rotation 1-5, real questions on offense.
Don't understand those who are high on the Astros. 2 plus hitters, 2 plus starters, and crap throughout. Clemens isn't coming back to whiff on another post-season. He's in New York or, if injuries happen, possibly Boston.
Cardinals are the Cardinals. I don't see it, but I didn't see it last year, or in 2004. Helps having the best player in baseball.
Pirates, Reds, meh.
Jennings is complete crap,
Jennings is complete crap, I think he'll be pushing a 5 ERA away from the humidor, and the NL West.
Projected ERA's and WHIPS
RotoAuthority 4.47 1.43
Shandler 4.64 1.49
James 4.77 1.53
Here is what I would say
Here is what I would say about the Cardinals and their pitching.
Cardinal starting pitching was crummy in 2006 outside obviously Chris Carpenter, Jeff Suppan and a partial year of Anthony Reyes. Mark Mulder was a disaster, then went down injured. Jason Marquis was awful (cry). Sidney Ponson didn't pan out. And Jeff Weaver didn't start performing well until the playoffs.
So if you're the Cardinals, how can your starting pitching possibly be worse in 2007?!? I'm thinkin' it won't be. Carpenter is a stud ace. Reyes is a very promising young pitcher. Kip Wells is classic type pitcher that Dave Duncan works miracles with (e.g., Bob Welch, Storm Davis, Jeff Suppan). Adam Wainwright has a high quality arm. Ryan Franklin is a low risk experiment. And eventually Mark Mulder is expected back.
Therefore, I can't be dismissive of the Cardinals. Not with Dave Duncan around, and especially not with a lineup that includes the best player in baseball in Albert Pujols and an awful lot of other quality parts.
My NL predictions (from the
My NL predictions (from the head as opposed to the heart).
1. St. Louis
2. Milwaukee
3. Chicago
4. PIttsburgh
5. Houston
6. Cincinnati
To my way of thinking, both Milwaukee and Pittsburgh could come out of nowhere and be real surprises in 2007. Especially the Brewers. Houston is in for a major downfall from grace. Their lineup is old, awkward and crummy. Cincinnati simply doesn't have the pitching.
and for all the crap the
and for all the crap the Cards got about their pitching, they were 5th in Runs Allowed last year (amazing what a good defense can do for a mediocre pitching staff)....
Their Team ERA was 9th though....

1. St. Louis
2. Milwaukee
3. Chicago
4. PIttsburgh
5. Houston
6. Cincinnati
Milwaukee only finishes second IF only one team in the nl central finishes +.500. Milwaukee is not good team.
I wonder why Duncan's magic
I wonder why Duncan's magic didn't work on Marquis (got worse his last two years under Duncan) or Ponson.
The 04 and 05 Cardinals got extremely solid and healthy performance from their pitching. That takes a lot of luck in today's age of pitching injuries. The 06 Cardinals got average luck and an average bullpen and they were an average (or 2 games above average) team. Because Jeff Suppan was solid, Kip Wells will be solid makes no more sense than because Ponson continued to stink Kip Wells will continue to stink. Wainwright is probably going to have trouble throwing 210 innings coming off a season as a reliever. Reyes was a good prospect and has shown flashes, but that describes Angel Guzman, and he's 7th on the Cubs depth chart, not 3rd.
The Cards have the worst or 2nd worst rotation in the division at this point. Is there potential? Sure. Would it be a good bet that Franklin, Wells, Reyes and Wainwright each throw 200 innings of sub league average ERA? You would have to be a retard to make that bet.

A country
Finland (pronounced /ˈfɪnlənd/ (help·info)), officially the Republic of Finland[4] Finnish: Suomi; Swedish: Finland (help·info), is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. It is bordered by Sweden on the west, Norway on the north and Russia on the east, while Estonia lies to its south across the Gulf of Finland. The capital city is Helsinki.
Around 5.4 million people reside in Finland, with the majority concentrated in the southern part of the country.[1] It is the eighth largest country in Europe in terms of area and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union. The native language of nearly all of the population is Finnish, which is a member of the Finno-Ugric language family and most closely related to Estonian. The language is one of only four official EU languages not of Indo-European origin. The second official language of Finland – Swedish – is the native language of 5.5 percent of the population.[5] Finland is a parliamentary republic with a mostly Helsinki-based central government and local governments in 342 municipalities.[6] A total of about one million residents live in the Greater Helsinki area (which includes Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, andVantaa), and a third of the country's GDP is produced there. Other major cities include Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, and Lahti.
Finland was historically a part of Sweden and from 1809 an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire. Finland's declaration of independence from Russia in 1917 was followed by a civil war, wars against the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and a period of official neutrality during the Cold War. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955, the OECD in 1969, the European Union in 1995, and the eurozonesince its beginning. Finland has been ranked the second most stable country in the world, in a survey based on social, economic, political, and military indicators.[7]
Finland was a relative latecomer to industrialization, remaining a largely agrarian country until the 1950s. Thereafter, economic development was rapid, and the country reached the world's top income levels in the 1970s. Between 1970 and 1990, Finland built an extensive welfare state. In the aftermath of the country's severe depression in the early 1990s, successive governments have reformed the Finnish economic system through some privatisation, deregulation, and tax cuts.Finland is well placed in many international comparisons of national performance such as the share of high-technology manufacturing and health care.[8] The country is ranked 1st in the 2009 Legatum Prosperity rating, which is based on economical performance and quality of life.[9]

While you're creating an image in Photoshop. You may require a specific color which you may have seen or used on some other image, but when you try to replicate the image from the color picker on your Photoshop, you do not get similar results. The colors in the image you create in Photoshop or any other document are actually a fixed combination of primary colors. This combination is described in the image as the color code. This exact digital color code or combination will reflect a perfect color.
As you already know that all colors and their shades are actually made with a combination of primary colors which are Red Green and Blue (RGB), these colors mixed in certain proportions make all other colors and their shades. If you wish to replicate a color, you can very easily do so by providing the exact color codes of that color.
You can also extract this color code and use it on some other image by copying the code and regenerating the color. If you are also in such a turmoil, and want to duplicate the exact color that you used on some other image, you will have to exactly match the codes on your image to get the needed effects.
If you wish to do so, you can very easily follow the below described procedure in order to fulfil this task:
- Initialize the Photoshop program from the Start menu.
- On the opened interface, select File from the menu bar.
- On the drop-down list that appears, click on Open.
- On the Open window that appears, locate and open your desired image.
- Back on the interface, from the toolbox situated in the left pane, choose the Eyedropper Tool.
- On the image, click the desired color with the tool.
- From the color toolbox situated on the right side, select the Color tab.
- On the color toolbox, click on the small colored box.
- On the Color Picker box that opens up, copy the hexadecimal code of the color from the
# field and close the box.
- Back on the previous interface, select File from the menu bar.
- From the drop-down list, select Open.
- On the Open window, locate and open the target file.
Now, when you copy the codes in the color picker, the exact color from the desired image will be replicated.

On moving printed electronics from enabling technology to application
Progress at PARC
IDTechEx has already shared the sheer scope, profiles of key players, enabling devices, and commercial product possibilities presented by printed electronics. Just a couple years ago, we tracked 500 organizations (50% universities & research institutes, 50% corporations) developing printed or organic transistors, and found that the combined commercial revenue of products using these transistors was zero - in other words, the industry still needed time, money, and partnerships to scale.
PARC, a Xerox company, is an independent subsidiary (incorporated in 2002) that provides R&D services, technology, and expertise to create new business options and accelerate time to market for multiple, diverse companies. Since its inception, PARC has worked on many printed and later flexible electronics projects and has achieved many world firsts in this space.
IDTechEx recently visited PARC in California and learnt of its business model today, culture, and legacy pioneering technological change - including creating one of the first and most influential personal computer GUI interfaces (which famously inspired Steve Jobs and Apple) - among many other industry contributions.
Below, I share some updates on what IDTechEx has been observing at PARC. Taken together, these updates convey an important movement beyond the enabling materials, processes, equipment, and components.
Custom application development: Sensor tape
One of the most sophisticated printed electronics projects undertaken by PARC, with funding from DARPA, was a printed, disposable blast dosimeter.
After a certain threshold of battlefield blast exposure, damage to the brain becomes harmful, so the intention of the dosimeter is to measure cumulative trauma to the head. The goal of PARC's disposable "tape-like" blast dosimeter was to measure pressure, light, acoustics, and acceleration through multiple sensors (and integrated electronics to read out sensor signals) in different locations. The resulting individual components, ready for integration, featured more than 10,000 transistors (the majority of which is memory to retain data for over a week), and had an expected total manufacturing cost in large volumes of less than $1 per individual tape strip.
Platform manufacturing: Battery electrode breakthrough
On a platform manufacturing capability note, PARC has developed a technology it calls "co-extrusion printing"—i.e., for depositing thick films of pastes of densely inter-digitated functional materials. For batteries, these functional material pastes would be the electrode active materials. A post-deposition processing step dries and sinters the deposit into the final electrode structure. The stripes can be as narrow as several microns wide and as tall as several hundred microns.
The first application of this technique has been for silver gridlines on the surface of solar cells. Compared to screen-printed gridlines, the narrower and taller front gridlines created by the technique cover less solar cell surface area, resulting in increased absolute cell efficiency. A production prototype machine is under test at a PARC client site, with an additional gain of approximately 0.5% absolute cell efficiency and process speeds up to 200 mm/sec having been demonstrated.
While the solar cell application has a near-term sales opportunity, there is also significant commercial application of the technology to battery electrodes. The current density in an air-breathing electrode is proportional to the amount of electro-catalytic surface area that is exposed to air. The PARC technology provides a directed-assembly printing method for producing a greater proportion of this "three-phase boundary" than conventional electrode manufacturing methods—up to 10x the air-breathing surface area of conventional electrodes, potentially enabling a sustainable 20% higher energy and/or power densities. The technology is mostly agnostic to battery chemistry and can be applied to Li-ion, alkaline, and other battery types.
From building block to commercial application: Logic and memory
One of PARC's unique strengths is that it can make custom printed transistor circuits for prototyping and development purposes. PARC has collaborated with Norwegian printed memory firm ThinFilm Electronics. Last month, ThinFilm announced the first scalable printed CMOS memory module, comprising memory from ThinFilm with the driving logic from PARC, which in turn featured complementary pairs of n-type and p-type transistors. Having both printed memory and printed transistors to address the memory is a fundamental 'building block' that has applicability to, and enables, an enormous number of applications across a myriad of markets. For ThinFilm, the first commercial applications of this will be memory cards for toys and games, with a roadmap towards enabling an "Internet of Things".
Filling value chain gaps: Complete systems
Many printed electronics devices involve a system comprised of some printed electronics components and some conventional electronics. That may involve circuit design, software programming, and interfacing between the two. PARC frequently designs and builds the complete system - working with multiple players across the value chain - helping create much-needed complete working systems rather than just components.

PARC will be exhibiting at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA event on Nov 30-Dec 1 in Santa Clara, CA, USA (booth # H116). See www.IDTechEx.com/peUSA for details. For more information about PARC, its client services, and other offerings, please see www.parc.com .

New guidelines for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will support Wells Fargo , J.P. Morgan Chase and other lenders, with a regulator directing the federally controlled mortgage-finance giants to support credit access and curb banks' exposure to mortgage risk, analysts noted Wednesday.
Mel Watt, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said Tuesday that he will not lower limits for mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie , and that he's relaxing terms for when the government sponsored enterprises demand sellers repurchase a bad loan, among other actions.
"Overall, the strategic goals are positive for lenders," Edwin Groshans of Height Analytics wrote in a Wednesday research note. "The expectation is that lenders will be willing to expand the credit underwriting criteria for borrowers and result in a higher level of approvals, especially for riskier borrowers."
Lenders have paid billions to settle suits over bad loans sold to Fannie and Freddie, and banks have been wary of loosening standards that they ratcheted up in the wake of the financial crisis. Data signal that there has been some easing in credit access, but that banks are focused on serving upper-income customers, leaving many credit-worthy borrowers unable to obtain a mortgage.
By easing Fannie and Freddie's repurchasing standards, FHFA's Watt hopes to encourage more lending.
"Repurchase risk remains a top concern for the mortgage industry," Watt said Tuesday. "Ultimately, this undermines the goal of improving access to mortgage credit for creditworthy borrowers."
The timing of the directive could help spur lending. Banks are hungry for revenue -- mortgage rates stepped up over the past year, plunging refinancing applications and hitting loans to buy a home.
"Generally, we think the speech was a positive for lenders, mortgage insurers, and homebuilders as the speech signaled a willingness by FHFA to stimulate the housing market," Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analysts wrote in a research note.
The moves from FHFA are of particular importance as the housing market's recovery appears to be slowing down, and U.S. lawmakers are making little progress on advancing legislation to reform the country's housing-finance system. A Senate panel is scheduled to work Thursday on a housing-finance-reform bill, but analysts say chances of passage this year are slim.

The NBA's Las Vegas Summer League will for the first time include a single-elimination playoff tournament in 2013, the league announced on Wednesday.
The change in format will give each team a minimum of five games. The Summer League, played at UNLV, tips off on July 12, and the preliminary games for seeding purposes stretch until July 16. The playoff tournament begins July 17 and concludes with a championship game on July 22.
Adding a championship crown both adds to the marketing value of the event and the value for participating teams.
Last season, the Summer League included a record 24 of 30 NBA teams, and attendance crept to 51,000 over the 10-day period, according to the league. Due to the likely increased competitiveness with a title on the line, those numbers could rise, as could the television following that watches the games being broadcast on NBATV and NBA.com.
The change presents more opportunity for NBA teams, as well. There are more games for the winning clubs, giving those squads more opportunity to see their players. Additionally, teams will not only get a better setting to observe the competitiveness of their players, but that of their coaches. Summer League teams are generally led by assistant coaches.
