The box offices are buzzing lately, especially with the release of Big Hero 6, which so far has brought in a whopping $36 million just last weekend, and over $100 million in just the second week of its showing. World-wide, the movie has grossed $148 million.
The film is based off of the original Marvel Comics issues. Big Hero 6 was originally supposed to be introduced in December of 1988 in the issue Alpha Flight #17, but instead starred in its own comic in September of the same year. The comic tell the story of a group of super heros recruited by the [...]

Even though Disney bought Marvel a few years back, they also stopped publishing any Disney comic in the whole USA for years! (more precisely, since Boom! Studios cancelled their Disney comics)
This always made me quite angry at Disney : buying the biggest comics company and not doing ANYTHING with their own properties...
But now, with the efforts of the team behind the Darkwing Duck comics ("The Duck Knight returns") in 2010, and a whole new publisher : "Joe's Comics", a new batch of Disney comics will be released! And they're quite [...]

Pixar's next film, Inside Out, has been in the works for a long time. And now, a mere 8 months before its theatrical release, Pixar has released its first teaser trailer!
The teaser mixes together emotions we have seen in all previous Pixar films, before giving us some clips from Inside Out. Keep in mind, since this IS a teaser trailer from Pixar, none of these clips will likely be seen in the final film. This is just to introduce you to the characters.
Inside Out releases worldwide next June.[...]
The new full-length 2D animated movie from veteran Disney and DreamWorks animators has been funded!
Hullabaloo, the steampunk animated superhero story is the brainchild of creator James Lopez (The Lion King, The Emperor's New Groove) and a veteran team of animators, modelers, composers and voice actors. Lopez is a Disney veteran who has also served stints at Warner Bros. and DreamWorks, so he definitely has the credintials.
Lopez and his team started an IndieGoGo campaign to raise $80,000 for the film production, but now it received 140% of expected goal, with $111,705! [...]

A typical wind turbine consists of a number of components: rotor, controls, drive-train (gearbox, generator, and power converter), tower, and balance of system.1 Each of these components has undergone significant development in the last 10 years, with improvements integrated into the latest turbine designs. In addition, improved understanding and better modeling capabilities have contributed to the rapid introduction of technical improvements. What were initially small clusters of 100 kW turbines in the early 1980s have grown to clusters of hundreds of machines, including machines of 1.5 MW or more.
In general, wind speed increases with height, and the energy capture capability depends on the rotor diameter. Figure 3.1 shows the change in rotor diameter and rated capacity over time. In 2006 the most common installed machine had hub heights of 275 ft (84 m) and a rotor diameter of 220 ft (67 m). Turbines as big as 5 MW have been installed in offshore locations; these have 505 ft (154 m) hub height and 420 ft (128 m) rotor diameter (IEEE, 2007a).2 As noted in Chapter 1, the U.S. wind energy industry installed almost 14,000 MW of capacity during 2007 and 2008. The U.S. wind power capacity is now more than 25 GW and spans 34 states; the world's largest wind power plant, Horse Hollow Wind Energy center with a capacity of 750 MW, was recently commissioned in Texas (SECO, 2008). U.S. wind farms will generate an estimated 52,000 GWh of electricity in 2008, about 1.2 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. As discussed in Chapter 1, the installed wind power generating capacity worldwide at the end of 2006 was 75,000 MW.
In general, the balance of system (BOS) is the system between the technologies that convert the renewable flux (wind or solar) into electricity and the electricity grid (for power production) or load (for direct use). The BOS might include the power-conditioning equipment that adjusts and converts the DC electricity to the proper form and magnitude required by an alternating-current (AC) load. For solar PV, the BOS consists of the structure for mounting the PV arrays and storage batteries. For wind turbines, it typically includes all the related electronics required to provide the connection to the grid.
Background description and information on activities of the wind industry can be found on the American Wind Energy Association website at http://awea.org.

Vicious metal tone for your LP!
The Seymour Duncan LiveWire Metal humbucker pickup has a thick, screaming tone with mid-range punch that blows your hair back. Not a subtle pickup, but one that gets your point across loud and proud. Whole calibrated humbucker set (2).
Tons of mids, harmonics, and sustain combined with incredible output. Call or click to order now!

Initially I couldn't find a schematic I liked, so I emailed SD and got exactly what I wanted in about a day. After I installed them, I was blown away. I've played Duncans for 15 yrs. and own Dimebuckers, Trembuckers, and Screamin Demons and this smokes 'em all. Even active EMG's are no match. Incredibly loud, all across the spectrum. Much flatter in EQ than the Dime's, and very musical sounding. The neck has somewhat of a single coil bite and better clean tone than I expected, but not great, and not nearly as loud as the bridge. The bridge is the beast of beasts. Super loud (18v), aggressive, tight, tons of chunk. Solos cut thru and sound bigger. Harmonics and sustain for divebombing beat even Bill Lawrence. For distortions, the tone is crushing. If hard rock, metal, or shred is your thing, you'll really dig these.
The Classic does do cleans, etc. but is rather low output. I'd rather it be at least be medium/high output to match better with the Metal because there is a big volume drop, especially when playing clean.The Metal is the most ridiculous pickup ever, I have an EMG 81 in another guitar and the Metal creates such a searing sound in comparison. Everything is louder, pinch harmonics jump out and are more vibrant, the bass is good, etc. The thing it excels with are palm mutes, creating the tightest I've ever heard. The best example of what it sounds like is Decapitated's newest CD, I play in A and it's as tight as their C# sound.Overall I love the Metal a lot, I got this set just because it came with 2 pickups so I wouldn't be missing one. The Classic is okay but it's not for what I want to use it for. I think SD should sell a set of 2 Metals and call it the metal set instead of this.
You wanna talk about LOUD!I put an 18 volt set of these into my Explorer, I actually had to turn the amp down! I mean these babies push so much headspace into your amp, you won't know what to do with it!Loud and very bright, I would put these into every guitar I own if I could only afford it.Highly recommended for metal and lead guitar.
They have great sound and minimal background sounds, but installation needs to be simpler. Overall a great package.
I have a Gibson SG Standard and the stock pickups forced it to sound fat and chunky, which I despise. I bought the set of LiveWires to put in it, and it is a Black Metal monster. The tone is still scorching and loud, but the crunch is razor-thin and amazing. King of pickups, hands down.
I researched all the pick-ups around and decided to go with this set. I Live for Metal. I had to have an active set because there is no other sound like it. This set has a classic pick-up for the neck for clean tones and a distortion pick-up (basically a mini distortion box)for the bridge. Both active. The set comes with the hardware to connect a volume control and a tone control to each pick-up( 4 total), but I just had volume control hooked up to each of mine because my Pro Beast only had 2 knobs to begin with and I didnt want any extra holes drilled, plus I never use tone control on my guitar, I control tone on my Metal Zone pedal. Leaving my amp on clean tone. You can still get clean tones by just using the neck and then switch back to metal by enabling the bridge pick-up again. And these sound so perfect together, struming one string sounds like a power cord or something almost. Best of all it only cost me $39.00 to have these installed by a Pro Hot Rod shop.

How to Make J.C. Penney Fashionable Again to Investors
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- How did J.C. Penney (JPC) fall from riches to rags? It failed to adapt.
But there are ways for the company to turn itself around and become fashionable for investors again. Penney shares, at around $9, are down nearly 6% for the year to date. It has very high short interest, too.
First and foremost, Penney's needs a niche. It already has the powerful brand and wide distribution channels. But it must differentiate itself from its competitors including Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M), Target (T) and Wal-Mart (WMT). And for that it needs to do more data mining in order to attract shoppers on what they want rather than on what they need, all year round. It won't be easy.
American Apparel Should Hire One of These 6 Executives to Replace Dov CharneyBill Ackman's 2014 Gains May Give Time to Herbalife Short Why Reports of the iPad's Death Are Greatly Exaggerated J.C. Penney should also find opportunities to decrease its cost of goods sold, or the cost of the materials used in creating the goods along with the direct labor costs used to produce them. Penney's cost of goods sold has steadily increased over the years and now stands at 70%, noticeably higher than Macy's (59%) and Kohl's (63%). The root cause of J.C. Penney's growing COGS is increased amounts of merchandise sold on clearance and its focus on non-value-added costs such as haircuts and photography. A high quantity of merchandise sold on clearance is a direct symptom of an inadequate demand planning process. When a company's cost of goods sold steadily increases year after year (4.6% in 2012 and 2.17% in 2013) because of clearance sales, something is obviously broken. Another issue that J.C. Penney needs to address is its high SG&A costs relative to sales, encompassing 34% of total revenue compared to Macy's (30%) and Kohl's (21%). J.C. Penney's larger SG&A percentage of revenue is partially due to its declining sales coupled with the fact that SG&A is only a partially variable cost; it is more difficult to decrease SG&A than a fully variable cost such as the brand of shirts sold. If Penney were able to increase its revenue by 32% to get back to its 2012 levels while only increasing SG&A by 2% then SG&A would run at 25% of current sales -- not an impossible scenario considering that Kohl's SG&A runs at 21% of sales.

I see my heart DR tomorrow morning at 10am.I am scared,I don't know what to expect or what he will do.I have been waiting for this appointment for a while now and I am scared to go.Can somone tell me what to expect tomorrow or what he might do?That way I will have some idea and maybe get my nerves calmed down a little.I just hope I sleep tonight too.I will let you know what I find out.
|Tue, 05-13-2003 - 9:25pm
I wish I COULD tell you what your doctor is going to do....but just off the top of my head, I think he'll probably order a lot of different tests for you, ask you a bunch of questions, and see how things go from there! I know you're scared, Hon....but we're rooting for you! Try to sleep tonight.....and try not to get too stressed out, okay? I know that's easier said than done...but try? Let us know what happens at the doctors appointment tomorrow....don't be surprized if he orders a whole bunch of tests. Have you been writing down all your symptoms and everything you've been feeling in a symptom journal? That'll be a big help to your doctor when you see him tomorrow....if you haven't started keeping a symptom journal, start now...and keep writing ALL your symptoms in it, okay?
Let us know how it goes, Hon! Good luck!
Love and gentle (((hugs))),

New here.
I am a network administrator for a smaller company. We have 35 people, 3 servers, network printers etc. I am the only NA that this company has. I spend a lot of time doing deskside support. We also have a small to midsize budget for IT.
With that said, I am looking into moving over to thin client computing for our network, with the idea of me doing less deskside support, purchasing and upgrading desktops and laptops, and doing more on the network side of things.
I have tried to dig up as much info as possible, but I am still sort of at a loss on where to start.
I have gotten the approval to look into doing a test bed of sorts to test the functionality.
Things we do are:
1. We are a vendor company, with the majority of our work coming from a large software company.
2. We Ras into our main clients network using smart cards to utilize their internal tools and apps.
3. We do a lot of data crunching in excel spreadsheets, as well as using web based tools on thier internal network.
We utilize Window software (windows servers, exchange server, Vista enterprise desktops etc.)
That being said, can someone help me figure out what I need to set up a test bed?
I was thinking of picking up 1-3 different types of thin or zero clients, and setting up a server to work with them.
The key here is for the users to keep doing thier work as they always have, utilizing the smartcards/ras that they need to connect to our clients network (required), the ability of testing software on CD's/DVD's and keeping the users existing dual flat screen monitor setup.
So what all do I need to get testing?
Is there any trial software for a easy server setup?
I have a spare server that I can load up with whatever to test with. I am also just finishing up getting everyone on GB ethernet.
Thanks everyone for your help.
David Hicks
Well the thing is that we are growing. It is only me doing everything, ( including phone support which isnt all that bad). All in all I stay pretty busy trying to do the all the stuff I do, as well as trying to do development work.
What I am looking at this is to cut down the deskside support aspect, so I can concentrate on more development work/network administration.
Its manageable now, but if we keep growing the way we are, I am going to be swamped. From all that I have read, thin client or zero client setups cuts down or eliminates the deskside support aspect, as pretty much everything is managed on the server side of things (ie. less of me running to each persons desk to fix things).
We are also looking at running out of space in our current location and the idea of a remote location has been tossed around. There is no way I am going to be able to support 2 locations software and hardware physically by myself.
Its a great job here, great atmosphere great people. They will not hire nor do I want them to hire another person to help me.
Just looking to streamline some things.
Am I thinking about this wrong?
Any insight is appreciated.
David Hicks
Ok, sorry, but rather than go into my daily workload, I would like to just figure out how to set up a testbed of sorts for thin client or zero client computing.
I have a spare server, Win2003 R2 on it.
I was looking at Citrix. Any advice on what all components are needed to set up for testing? Can this be done with their trial software?
As you were getting so little feedback, here's my 2 cents worth. To start with all you need is your W2003 server and a thin client. You can contact Axel in Florida, they'd be delighted to loan you an evaluation thin-client.
Axel: United-States
You needn't worry about licensing, Microsoft give a 90 day grace period when you will be able to fully connect the thin client. (After this period the terminal server will refuse the connection until a TSCAL licence is bought)
This will give an insight in thin clients and what they do/are and how they connect etc
Citrix/Metaframe/Presentation Server/XenDesktop is another 'layer' that sits on top of Windows that gives extra functionality. There are lots of comments on Edugeek about Citrix and its merits versus its costs. Probably for 30 users you wouldn't need it,
Hope that helps to get you started....
Win2k3 in a VM on a 180day trial
And RDP session from any random computer.
If it looks like it could be of use after that then move on to dedicated thin-client hardware. Maybe, if you have a few old PC's lying around, it could be worth playing with :: Thinstation - a light, full-featured Linux thin client OS :: before spending money our on Thin Clients.
If the tests are successful and it does what you want then spend the money out on a server, dedicated TC hardware and the full win2k3 OS and CALs.
Thanks for the fast replies.
I am very familiar with RDP. We use it quite a bit to remote onto our clients servers to perform some work.
That being said, Remote desktop is not quite what I am after. I am looking to test a thin client or zero client to see how well it works with what we do.
The idea for the user to sit at their desk, power up the thin client, put in their logon, have a desktop that is just like them sitting at their computer they have now, and perform all the functions that they do now, but with the ease of centralized administration, lower costs, etc.
I wasnt sure if I could use a thin client to just connect to a MS server running terminal server. I thought I would need citrix or some other software to suppy the desktop and apps from the server side.
Trying to learn.
Thanks all.
RDP is a thin client - and with terminal services a many user to one server situation is a breeze.
You can connect to it straight from boot - seamless to the user- have a look at :: Thinstation - a light, full-featured Linux thin client OS ::
You can - to keep it simple all you need is the terminal server and a thin-client. (It sounds like you want to evaluate thin clients, not PC's running RDP, but of course a PC would happily connect to your terminal server using its native RDP client...)
Thanks everyone.
David, sorry, I hope I didnt come off as rude. Just wanted to stay focused on the main reason I am here. I probably could have worded my original post better. I will create a different thread on the virtues or lack thereof on if I should switch to thin client networking.
Domino - I will read up on thinstation. Thanks. I know that RDP is a form of thin client. I guess that I am just used to the standard way of using it, being on a workstation running some flavor of windows, and using RDP onto a server. I wasnt aware that you could use it right from boot. Seamless is what I am after, since, to a user, anytime you make any change, they scream and holler until they are educated on the uses and functionality. (and even then they will keep screaming).
Axle - Yeah, I think the thin client aspect is what I am after. How or what do I need to set up on the terminal server to allow the thin client to connect? How does the terminal server supply the desktop image for the thin client?
I am probably getting all the different technology confused (read a ton on different tech that can be used) but I guess I was thinking of the citrix form where you create an master image that everything else is based from, and then for each user you add the different things they need to use.
Basically how does it work with Terminal server and thin clients?
Any links to some good, concise reading on it?
Thanks again
There is zero difference between a Thick Client running RDP and and dedicated thin client - the Terminal Server dishes up the same desktop. If you've used and are familiar with RDP to connect to and manage your server then for the most part Thin Clients work in exactly the same way.
All a Thin Client (like the Axel ones) are is a basic computer in a very small box that boots directly into an RDP session connected to your server.
:: Thinstation - a light, full-featured Linux thin client OS :: takes an old thick client desktop and turns into a thin client but booting a cut down Linux OS directly into an RDP session connected to your server.
On the server side the work pretty much comes down to four things...
- Install Terminal Server Components
- Install a License server
- Provide the license server with details of how meny TS CALs you have purchased (how meny RDP sessions/Thin Clients can connect to the server at the same time)
- Set up a default user profile with all the correct security permissions so users don't have free rome over your Win2k3 server once they are connected.
As for Citrix, in this context it is a bolt-on to MS Terminal Server. So you need to set up a Terminal Server and have all the TS-CAL's before you can get Citrix. Citrix works in the same way at MS Terminal Server/Remote Desktop. The key difference is they use their own ICA protocol in instead of RDP. ICA provides a faster desktop response rate than RDP so things like flash animations on a web page will be smoother.
Another option worth considering (though even more expensive than either RDP or Citrix AFAIK) is VMWare View. This is were each end user have their own Virtual Machine running on the server which provides them with a desktop.

SIMS under terminal services
SIMS.net & TS
Set up your Server 2003 / 2008 machine, get it all up-to-date with Windows Update, then get a disk image of it before you configure the Terminal Services role. That way, if you mess up it just takes you a few minutes to role back to a fresh start.
Install applications on the TS server from a command prompt, after first running "change user /install". This sets the Terminal Server into "install" mode. Theoretically, Windows is seemingly supposed to spot an install application and automatically switch to "install" mode, but in practice this depends somewhat on the age/quality of the application you are installing, so you might want to explicitly switch mode first.
Your users will need permission to connect to the Terminal Server. This confused the heck out of me. In the end, I added all the users who needed access to the Terminal Server to a security group in the domain, then added that domain group to the Remote Logon Users group of the terminal server. Adding the group to the domain version of that group didn't make any difference. If you don't have a domain, you'll need to create user accounts on your Terminal Server for each user and make sure you add them to the Remote Logon Users group.
As far as terminals go, you can re-use your existing desktop machines (change over one night, see if the users actually notice any difference...) by using ThinStation, as has been pointed out. You can also get dedicated terminals, which are nice and small, generally silent and low-powered, and these days you can get ones that will screw to the back of a monitor via the VESA mount or that are even small enough to be hidden away in the trunking with the network wiring. You can get terminals cheap off eBay, and there's often job lots on offer, so you could buy a few to see how you get on.
Do check your terminal can handle whatever graphics you want to use with it, think beforehand - if some of your users have dual (or triple?) screen set-ups, or widescreen monitors, you might have to go for snazzier terminals.
If you do decide to move your organisation over to terminals, budget a decent amount for the server - stuff it full of RAM, get a quad-core processor and a proper RAID controller card and decent harddrives. You might want to keep an older server around as a backup - if your central server fails, no-one can log on to do any work, not even on their local machine.
You can always dual-boot your existing machines. If they don't already boot over PXE then add new network cards (£10 each, cheap), then you have a backup system if all else fails.
David Hicks
Does Thin-Station support smartcards and dual monitors, as Craig initially specified...?
If you get a problem who do you go to to get support...?
Like for example if you want dual monitor support, Thinstation being open source, who do you call ?
I guess the answer is get out your Kernigan and Ritchie C Programers Guide, buy a pizza and gallon of coke and get to work
If you can get away without MS software on your 'local' clients also look at the Sun Ray solution as this may save a considerable amount of money.
You mention that a major part of the solution is remoting into 'client' machines. If your office productivity solution can be OpenOffice/StarOffice and your CMS is web-based, Sun Ray is ideal. Switch to Solaris/Redhat and all is well.
Sun Rays support a multitude of smart cards too and can even integrate with you phone/unified comms solution if you use Mitel.

I got a deluxe sample of this. I have not used Lancome mascara in quite a while, but I have kept up with seeing the new products. I did not think I would like this. I figured this would give a Twiggy look which I am not fond of. This surprised me. The brush is odd shaped, like a cone. I found it seemed a little odd using a brush this funny shaped, but I got the hang of it. It took me two uses of this mascara before I finally liked it. I loved how full and long my lashes looked. My only complaint is that once it dried out pretty quickly and at that point even wiping down the wand with a tissue did not help me avoid clumps. I would give this a higher rating if it did not dry out so quick.
Ok first of all the only reason I bought this was for the Elbez Collection design. But let me just say this stuff, even though expensive, is WONDERFUL! It was not the waterproof version and yet I have had it on 12+ hours and it has not smudged!!! My lashes are long and full and not clumpy... I only used two coats.
I wish it was not so expensive or this would be my HG mascara. All my drugstore ones smudge with my watery eyes and oily skin.... Even waterproof ones!
I did not find the cone shaped brush a problem. It reminded me of the Maybelline Lots Of Lashes mascara brush(do they still make it?) but the formula is drier on Lancome's. For the $27 I think I paid I love it!
Overall I find this to be well worth the price... even though it was impulse due to the absolte cuteness of the tube!!!
I'm obsessed with the basic hypnose mascara so I thought this would be great. I was not impressed. I'd still pick it over most other brands, but it didn't make my lashes near as full as the basic hypnose. It also seemed to get a lot more clumpy.
Very dry formula, and not a true intense black. Gave great volume, but even after 3 coats my lashes were barley any longer.

Worst mascara ever! I received this as a deluxe sample through Sephora, and boy, am I ever glad I did not pay full price for this!
CONS: Runny, streaks easily, causes one to lose one's curl, clumpy, smells funny, horrible wand, the list goes on and on. Oh, did I mention it's $29 for a tube? Totally not worth it.
PROS: It does lengthen lashes quite a bit, but with all the smudging and clumping, it ruins the look otherwise.
Ophthalmologists say that one should swap out for a new mascara every 3 months. At this rate, you're much better off buying a superior, cheaper drugstore mascara that you won't feel guilty about using and discarding in three months. Don't waste your money, this addition to the Hypnose line falls flat on it's face. I'm not even keeping the sample, I think it's that bad!
I love the wand of this mascara. It makes it very easy to reach all the lashes. The colour I got i was told by the MUA that it was a limited edition...forgive me if I'm wrong, 11. It wears well, doesn't run, doesn't give me panda eyes. I would buy it again but I will go for the darker shade so that my eyes will pop a little bit more.

I got this mascara in the lancome show tube (the one with the little hearts on it).
Packaging: the white newly designed tube with the cute red hearts all over it, got me hooked.
Product: very wet, wand/brush needs to be wiped due to that it grabs a lot of product and it smudges, doesn't hold the doll effect for long (about half a work day) , but it gives a nice open
eye look that is needed in the morning, giving that
wide awake look that is needed. Smells nice too
and doesn't bother my eyes as it does to some
Brush: very tricky to use. I am right handed and applying the product on my left eye can be awkward due to the cone shape of it, leaving my
inner corners untouched afraid of getting it on my
Overall, I think this mascara is good, but not
great. Its a bit of a splurge to get ($29.00 at
sephora) leaving me with lifted lashes with not so much length, which leaves me to think that the lifting effect is its only result. I think the they're real by benefit mascara is better than this cause it gives me superior length and I love a dramatic look when it comes to my mascara
I really do like this mascara! It looks just as good at the end of the day as it does when you apply it. I love the wand; the shape is so convenient for getting every lash, and it really combs the product flawlessly from root to tip. This is also the only mascara I have ever found that looks AMAZING on the lower lashes. Anything else looks clumpy or spidery or too thick, but this looks like perfect little "doll lashes"! This mascara lives up to its name. My new favorite (over BeneFit They're Real Beyond Mascara, which I like to use on the roots for density with this Lancôme one). Definitely will repurchase.

Since those early years and moving all over the world, I took to teaching and have taught in California, Texas, Oklahoma, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Georgia and Alabama, I am so proud of all my students of then and now, I take pride in thier success in painting for what ever reason they are painting. I teach it all, watercolor, oil and acrylics and am always asked which I like best, well as a true aritist I love it all, even pastel, and pencil both colored and just a plain ole #2 pencil and paper, will do. I enjoy to paint all of God's beauty that I can see in my life time, all subjects are wonderful, and I always try to be in a place to capture that beauty with my camera. I live in Georgia now, but love to travel many places to get those camera shots.

Digital Disruption Is Happening In Financial Services, You Get It. Now What?
Posted by Oliwia Berdak on August 6, 2014
- 9 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Over the past year, we've told banks that some of them would become custodians. We've told insurers that many of them would be forced to specialise. We've told wealth management firms that many would shrink. We've done this to show them how digital disruption could savage retail financial services, just as it has done with the music and publishing industries.
But we don't want to be just the bearers of bad news: We want to help you deal with new players like peer-to-peer lending platforms and even Google entering retail financial services. And to be fair, it's not all bad news. There are plenty of companies out there using digital innovation to meet their customers' financial needs in new and better ways. Take for example BBVA which has brought its customers the virtual assistant Lola, video banking, and the crowdfunding platform called Suma. And BBVA hasn't stopped here. The Bank is currently running the sixth edition of its Open Talent competition for start-ups most likely to affect financial services.
We think digital innovation, or the use of digital technology to improve existing products or services or to create new value for your customers through entirely new offerings, is how you survive digital disruption. Many financial services firms agree but often don't know where to start, as evidenced by numerous enquiries we've received on this topic. So we are launching a new research series which will explore how retail financial services innovators have done it. As part of this research, we will look into the processes that leaders in this space have adopted, whether it all hangs on a digital lab, a start-up incubator or perhaps a venture fund. We will examine organisation, budget, and governance structures. And we would like your help. Do you want us to evaluate any specific innovation strategies? Would you like to contribute to our research? Let us know!
And if you work for a retail financial services firm and have been involved in your firm's digital innovation activities, please take our Digital Innovation in Retail Financial Services Survey, available here.
- The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
- The survey will be live until September 8, 2014.
- Responses will be kept strictly confidential and published only in an aggregated and anonymous manner.
As a thank you for your effort, we will send you a complimentary copy of a report outlining best practices in digital innovation of retail financial services.
In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact me firstname.lastname@example.com

Photos of Elsie Lunde
The Family of Asle P. Lunde & Gunhild Fredericksdatter
|Elsie Lunde Confirmation
|Elsie was born in 1884, so year was possibly 1899 when she was about age 15. Thanks to Ashle's daughter Sandra for this photo.
|10 Cousins photo
Children of Asle & Ole Lunde. Asle was killed October 1891(age 46) when kicked by a horse. His wife Gunhild died 5 years later in 1896 - at the time of her death their 4 children ranged in age from 5 to 12 years old. These 4 children stayed in their home with their grandmother, Else Gravli, and spent summers, most holidays and lots of time with Ole & Ingeborg Lunde's 6 children after the death of their parents, and were referred to as "The 10 cousins". Asle's children were Elsie, Florence, Palma & Alfred. Ole's children were Pete, Margaret, Rudolph, Viola, Cornelia & Atlanta. Photo taken 1905 approx.
|Elsie Lunde & friends
|Possibly taken about 1902 for High School graduation? Guessing Elsie is about age 18. ID'd by Elsie's daughter Margaret as Elsie, far right, and Mattie Skaug, lower center. Margaret did not know who the other two friends were.
Palma &
Margaret Lunde
|Maybe Palma's graduation about 1905? Elsie & Palma were Cornelia's cousins, and Margaret was her sister.
|Elsie & Pete Skaar marriage
|Pete Skaar & Elsie Lunde were married June 13, 1916.
|2 Elsies & 2 Margarets
|Elsie Lunde Skaar with Elsie
Skaar, Margaret Lunde with Margaret Skaar. The twins were born in 1922.
|Elsie, Ingeborg, Ole P. Lunde & Carl Viker
|ID's by Ingeborg Lunde Taylor, granddaughter of Ole & Ingeborg Lunde. I'm not sure when this was taken - Ole died in 1933, so maybe about 1930?
Children of Pete & Elsie (Lunde) Skaar:
|Pedar J. Skaar with son Ashle Skaar
|Ashle was born March 31, 1917, so this photo was probably taken the summer of 1917. Thanks to Ashle's daughter Sandra for this photo.
|Ashle Skaar
|Ashle was born March 31, 1917, so this photo was probably taken the summer of 1917. Thanks to Ashle's daughter Sandra for this photo.
|Skaar Twin 1
|The twins were born in 1922. Not sure which one is which in these two photos
|Skaar Twin 2
|See above

|2 Elsies & 2 Margarets
|Elsie Lunde Skaar with Elsie
Skaar, Margaret Lunde with Margaret Skaar. The twins were born in 1922.
|Skaar family Christmas
ID'd by Margaret Skaar as: Back row L-R: Pete Skaar, Gertrude Nelson & Inga Skaar Nelson. Inga is Pete's sister (1872-1849), and Gertrude is her daughter, born in 1912. Front row L-R: Solveig, Margaret, Elsie & Ashle Skaar. Elsie Lunde Skaar died in 1925, and twins were born in 1922, so I'm guessing this may have been taken about 1927?
|Skaar children
|Ashle Skaar with sister Solveig and twins Elsie and Margaret. Thanks to Ashle's daughter Sandra for this photo.
|Elsie & Margaret Skaar and Virginia Schultz
|Seated are Elsie & Margaret Skaar, daughters of Elsie Lunde Skaar. Standing is Virginia Schultz, daughter of Elsie's sister Palma. It is a Confirmation photo - all were born in 1922, so guessing it was taken about 1935 when they were age 13.
|Ashle Skaar and Julius Hanson

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A celebratory gunfire bill inspired by the tragic death of a Virginia boy last summer is heading to Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
The practice involves firing a weapon into the sky, often on New Year's Eve and July Fourth.
The Virginia Senate on Thursday unanimously approved legislation that provides stiffer penalties for those who maim or injure others with stray bullets.
The bill called "Brendon's Law," was named after 7-year-old Brendon Mackey, who died after being struck in the head by a falling bullet at a fireworks show in central Virginia.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/1gXg6kr) that the bill raises the penalty to a Class 6 felony, eligible to receive up to five years in prison.
The current law provides a penalty of up to one year and a $2,500 fine.

The staff were endlessly helpful and friendly both in the run up to the event and on the actual evening. The area that they reserved for us was great with both indoor and outdoor space and plenty of it. We went for the Street Food Market and the food was delicious!! Very praised by all our guests and everyone had a good fill whilst being able to choose what they had from the different options. It was a great way to feed 68 people in an informal manner. We had our own private bar so no queuing at the busy main bar which all helped to add to the easy flow of the evening. We had lots of fun playing the table football and jenga that Routunda put out for us, another nice touch. I would highly recommend this bar to people looking to hold any event, whether that be a work party or a wedding reception!

An alert autorickshaw driver foiled the plans of five girls, who had escaped from the Crisis Intervention Centre on Hosur Road here on Thursday. The girls were taken back to the centre in the afternoon.
Three girls, accompanied by a guard, came out of the girls' home in the morning to clean the compound. "When the guard went in, the three girls joined by two others escaped. The five girls are aged between 16 and 17," sources in the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) said.
They said the girls hailed an autorickshaw, but the driver, sensing something amiss, took them straight to the Shivajinagar Police Station. "The police sent the message about the girls' escape through the police control room (100)."
The girls, who have "some behavioural problems", have been rehabilitated several times. "Three of them had taken a one-month beautician training course," the source said, adding the centre was in need of more staff. The in-charge superintendent is responsible for the girls' home and the Shishu Mandir.

Concert for Dogs: Lou Reed and the Velvet Underhound
It's time for Sunday's Walk on the Lighter Side.
Are you looking for new ways to provide your dog with cultural entertainment? Me neither — my dog seems perfectly content with his plastic fire hydrant and inflatable mailman's leg — but that's why we have Manhattan performance artists:
Sydney Opera House will be reaching out to an entirely new audience demographic next month when it stages a musical event aimed at canine listeners.
The performance, which will take place on the northern boardwalk outside the venue, is the work of New York wife and husband team Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.
The music stems from works that Anderson has been writing over the last 11 years for her rat terrier named Lollabelle. Most of the pitches will be too high for the dogs' owners to hear, but they will be able to monitor the sounds on meters and, as Anderson points out, they will also be able to see their dog's ears twitching.
Methinks those aren't Psilocybin-free mushrooms on Ms. Anderson's pizza.
Using Anderson and Reed as inspiration, I'm going to write the first ever blog post for dogs. Here goes:
Trust me, it was good. You should have seen your dog's ears twitching.

Blackberry Z30 is great if you're a tweak geekPUBLISHED: 26 Sep 2013 00:05:30 | UPDATED: 26 Sep 2013 18:46:59PUBLISHED: 27 Sep 2013 PRINT EDITION: 27 Sep 2013
Featuring a dynamic antenna that optimises voice and data connections, the Blackberry Z30 is a premium phone in a number of respects.
John Davidson
The price tag on BlackBerry's first 5-inch smartphone, the Z30, reads "$699". What it should read is "$699 plus labour".
That's to account for the time it takes you (or your geeky friend) to tweak the BlackBerry Z30 to turn it into the great phone that it's capable of being.
I just spent about four hours tweaking it, and I now think the Z30 is terrific, and good value for money for those with the time, patience and technical know-how (or geeky friend) to coax it into shape.
But who has that time? Who wants a phone they have to tweak?
That's the tragedy of the Z30, and of BlackBerry as a whole. BlackBerry makes fabulous products, but it keeps shooting itself in the foot (or, as it has turned out, the head) with tragic errors.
You see, the BlackBerry Z30, like the last few BlackBerrys, runs an operating system known as BlackBerry 10, and BB10 is a marvellous operating system except for one, probably fatal, flaw: it doesn't have all your favourite apps.
Only, it does! If you're willing and able to tweak it, the Z30 has it all! Having spent the best part of an afternoon fiddling with the Z30, I now have all the apps I have been sorely missing on BlackBerry – Spotify, Instagram, Google Maps, Google Earth, XBMC, Locus Pro, Triple Town, Candy Crush Saga – running either perfectly, or, in the case of the games, acceptably well on the phone, and I could scarcely be happier with it.
Insane logicBetween the BlackBerry's own, first-rate apps such as Browser, Contacts, Calendar, and Hub, and the new apps I have added with a not inconsiderable amount of effort, the Z30 is great. It's fast, stylish, feature packed and cheap.
It makes me want to find the nearest BlackBerry employees, and throttle the living daylights out of them. Why, when you're struggling to sell any phones at all, do you have to make it so hard to own one? Can't you see how insane that is?
To explain: one of the big new features on the Z30 (apart from its big new screen and its big new sound, which I will get to presently) is the fact that it runs a new version of BB10, known as 10.2.
One of BB10.2's new features is an upgrade to its Android engine, which allows you to run just about any Android app you can think of. (The previous version of BB10 had an old version of Android in it that would run barely any apps.)
Only, when BlackBerry ships the Z30, the Android engine is locked, and it too will barely run anything. You basically have to hack it, installing what's known as a "developer token", to unlock it and run Android apps like Spotify and Instagram.
Once you do that, and once you configure your PC to convert Android apps for your newly hacked phone, installing new apps is quick and easy.
Not everything will run – apps such as Google Play Music and Hangouts, that require a Google login, won't – but 90 per cent of the Android apps I have installed run, and run very well indeed.
Worth the effort
Essentially, a hacked Z30 has all of the benefits of a BlackBerry phone (chiefly, the best messaging there is on a phone, and the best keyboards) with many of the benefits of an Android phone thrown in for good measure.
Why BlackBerry doesn't ship the phone with an unlocked Android engine, and why it doesn't set up a website full of Android apps that have been converted for its Android engine, is beyond me. It can't be for security, as BlackBerry claims, given that the lock can be readily (if not so easily) unlocked.
But if you think you're up for a bit of tinkering, and if your main use for a smartphone is messaging, web browsing and calls, and if you don't mind buying into a platform with an uncertain future now that BlackBerry has been sold to private investors, then the Z30 is worth the effort.
It's not a small phone. It's big and heavy relative to most other 5-inch phones, making it seem either more premium, or just bigger, depending on your perspective.
I'm one of those in the iPhone-5-is-too-light camp, so I like the heft of the Z30. And between its new, dynamic antenna, which optimises voice and data connections, and its new high-bandwidth voice codecs that offer better call quality than even Skype, it is a genuinely premium phone in a number of respects.
Though not in every respect. Its new, Super AMOLED screen is perhaps not as sharp as it could be – it's just 1280 x 720 pixels, when competitors are making 5-inch phones with 1920 x 1080 pixels – but it's sharp enough for the pixels to be invisible to my (slightly ageing) eyes.
The camera on the Z30 is an improvement on the cameras on the Z10 and the Q10, but while it's easily good enough for photographing receipts and for Instagram, in our tests it proved to be no match for the cameras on Sony, Samsung, Nokia and Apple phones.
This is still a BlackBerry we're talking about, after all, and as the company confirmed with its recent restructuring, withdrawing itself from the consumer market, BlackBerry is all about work.
It's just a pity the Z30 makes you do so much work just to make it work properly.

The building of custom instruments was a natural progression from the customising
side of the business, and by April 1978 a few models had been completed for
people Like Tony Iommi, Noddy Holder and Geezer Butler.
It was around this time that the Supernatural bass was in it's prototype stages,
instigated by Richard Ford who was a local musician in a jazz funk band called Muscles.
At this stage there were no plans to specialise in basses, in fact it was just another
custom one off instrument. It was through Richards ability to make it sound so good
that gave me the inspiration needed to make further developments, lining the way
towards the birth of the Supernatural Bass.
It is now thirty years since I first thought of making or specialising in bass guitars,
although eighteen months earlier I was experimenting with bass pick-ups to satisfy
persistent musicians to help them achieve better sounds than what they had already,
cleaner and with more punch. Obviously this period was very important for the years
that were to come, for it was then that the formula for the pick-ups was discovered.
The bass design was drawn on the back of a roll of wallpaper in 1978. I was
unaware of any other bass looking like it, but my first customer Richard Ford knew
what he wanted and I went along with the ideas. When the instrument was finished
I was totally intrigued. I could not believe the piano like sound and sustain that it
delivered. This was it, I just had to make more! One stipulation I had was that if I
was going to make any more the design had to be an original one, including the
The headstock design I actually dreamt about years before, but not for bass! I saw
someone playing a guitar on stage but the view I had was from behind the player, so all
I could see was the neck and the head. This stayed in my mind until the next day, long
enough to record it in detail. It did remind me of the symbol of peace and reinforced
the use of it on the early guitar designs. It never occurred to me to use this design for
bass until I received the second order, then it just seemed to drop into place like it
belonged there. The name at this stage had not been chosen, in fact I was not looking
or thinking about a name, I was just pleased that someone else wanted one of my basses.
Only when I found myself surrounded by numerous types of timber that it came to me,
the Supernaturals, because it was my intention to make all the instruments featuring
the natural wood look.
The design of the pick-ups came by chance. Through using many different woods, there
were always lots of off cuts that would normally get thrown away, which I hated to do.
In a moment of inspiration I glued some small strips of Rosewood and Maple together
to see if they would be usable in any way. I knew that wood covered pick-ups was an
option because I had used solid Rosewood covers on earlier attempts. The idea of
laminated pick-up covers really appealed to me and because it was inert it would not affect
the sound. It also acted as a percussive platform in the event of it being hit accidentally by
the strings, which instead of inducing unwanted pops and bangs, created another dimension
to the sound.
The first few basses were not of an active nature. All they had was the standard two volume, two tone configuration with
pick-up selector. An active version was the next step, and was constructed on a piece of Vero board. Very crude looking
and very basic, but it did have the desired effect. It gave me the entire natural sound enhancement that I was looking for.
this was achieved through a three control system of bass, middle treble making it possible to obtain any sound for any
style of playing. The circuit has been modified a few times to improve the performance, without changing the quality of the
Jaydee Custom Guitars - The History!
John Diggins began his career in the guitar making business working for John Birch. John went on his own in 1977 and
Jaydee Custom Guitars was formed, primarily as a customising and repair service. The name 'Jaydee' came after
working with other guys called John, and in order to get the attention of the right person without everyone turning
around when called, initials were used hence 'JD'
