I have this PDE and was wondering how I can get Maple to solve it
with conditions u(0,t)=u(l,t)=0 and u(x,0)=ut(x,0)=0
declare(W(x, y), Z(x, y));
sys := [-A*kappa3-`∂`(`∂`(W(x, y))/`∂`(x))*(2*G-A)/`∂`(x)-2*G*(`∂`(`∂`(W(x, y))/`∂`(y))/`∂`(y)+`∂`(`∂`(Z(x, y))/`∂`(x))/`∂`(y))+A*`∂`(`∂`(Z(x, y))/`∂`(x))/`∂`(y) = 0, `∂`(`∂`(Z(x, y))/`∂`(y))*(A-4*G)/`∂`(y)+`∂`(`∂`(W(x, y))/`∂`(x))*(A-2*G)/`∂`(y)-2*G*`∂`(`∂`(Z(x, y))/`∂`(x))/`∂`(x) = 0];
I have this system of coupled PDE and I wish to solve it using Maple.
It gives me error of this kind:
pdsolve(sys, [[W(x, y)], [Z(x, y)]]);
Error, (in pdsolve/sys) found functions depending on different variables in the given DE system: [`∂`(x), `∂`(y)]
Thanks a lot for help
i have solved my equation as folllow :
pde:= diff(T(x, y), x)-1.555*10^(-7)*(diff(T(x, y), y, y))/ ...........
sol := pdsolve(pde, {T(0, y) = 0, (D[2](T))(x, 0) = 1325.754092, (D[2](T))(x, 0.25e-4) = 1970434.783}, numeric)
I wana know that maple has used which of numeric method to solve my equation ?
4.ForwardTimeCenteredSpace or Euler
5.CenteredTimeCenteredSpace or CrankNicholson
6.BackwardTimeCenteredSpace or BackwardEuler
or ... ?
st6.mw,st7.mwI want to obtain the analytical solution for this PDE by maple . But I can not do it. Please help me
((d^2)T/dx^2)+ ((d^2)T/dy^2)+ ((d^2)T/dz^2)=-A*Q(x,y,z)
Where 0 <x<a , 0 <y<b , 0 <z<l
With the boundary conditions:
(dT(0,y,z)/dx)=n-T(0,y,z) (dT(a,y,z)/dx)=n-T(a,y,z) (dT(x,0,z)/dy)=n-T(x,0,z)
(dT(x,b,z)/dy)=n-T(x,b,z) (dT(x,y,0)/dz)=n-T(x,y,0) (dT(x,y,l)/dz)=n-T(x,y,l)
where n is constant and A is set of parameters.
I have been trying to solve 2D Diffusion Equation with zero Neumann BC over the unit disk. If I use Gaussian type function with a sharp peak as initial condition, I get huge errors between initial values. Let's say u(r,phi,t) is the solution of the PDE and f(r,phi) is initial value function. The expectation is for the point (r*,phi*) , u(r*,phi*,0)=f(r*,phi*), but it is not.
Is Numerical integration in Maple not able to handle such sharp peak? I tried some of the built-in methods such as MonteCarlo,CubaVegas but no difference.
It might be a good idea to specify some nodes arround the peak. There is a command called "peaks", but I could not use it, error message says "invalid arguments".
Thanks in advance.
How can I pde with maple?please explain completely,and other question :How can I solve pde with plot in maple because some questions dont have exact answer?
I am having trouble solving the PDE. Can anyone shine some light?

Dear users,
In my attached file I have two PDES, (PDE1 and PDE2). PDE1 is a function of v(t) and w(x,t) and PDE2 is also a function of v(t) and w(x,t). I can solve PDE2 if I say v(t) is 1 for example and you can see the plot. But what if I put v(t) back in PDE2 and want to find v(t) and w(x,t) from PDE1 and PDE2 together?
Many Thanks,

Dear all,
I tried to use pdsolve to solve the parabolic pde but get the unexpected answer:
Is it the PDESolStruc or the other structure? Where can I find the description about this kind of structure.
It's very convenient to define a DE or PDE through Differential Operator D, for example,
((D[1, 1]+D[1, 2]+D[2, 2])(z))(x, y) = exp(x)*sin(y)
Is it possible to realize Inverse Operator Method of Operator D? How to solve the following equation if we rewrite the pde through inverse operator method?
(z)(x, y)=((D[1, 1]+D[1, 2]+D[2, 2])^(-1))exp(x)*sin(y)
Thanks a lot.
How can I solve this problem on Maple? Can anyone help me please ... I wrote another post before but I can not solve the problem.

Is it possible to solve piecewise differential equations directly instead of separating the pieces and solving them separately.
like for example if i have a two dimensional function f(t,x) whose dynamics is as follows:
dynamics:= piecewise((t,x) in D1, pde1, pde2); where D1 is some region in (t,x)-plane
now is it possible to solve this system with one pde call numerically?
pde(dynamics, boundary conditions, numeric); doesnot work

London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith had little doubt Leicester were flattered by the margin of their 31-9 victory at the Madejski Stadium.

The Tigers built up an early 14-0 lead and seemed in control but they allowed a battling Irish side a foothold in the game through three penalties from Ian Humphreys. A penalty from Toby Flood and two late converted tries gave Leicester what was at least on paper a convincing win.
Smith said: "I'm really disappointed as we came up short again. I'm proud of the boys' effort and we deserved a bonus point, so to come away with nothing was harsh."
It was 17-9 to the Tigers when the visitors sealed victory with a crucial penalty try in the 73rd minute. Niall Morris broke away from on halfway and kicked ahead. He would have secured the try himself but was taken out by Irish replacement Jamie Gibson, who was yellow-carded before Flood added the conversion.
Smith was far from happy to concede the score. He said: "The third try was the game-breaker for us. There were clear hands in the ruck to wrestle the ball free to give Leicester their opportunity and when the penalty try was awarded it was game set and match."
Leicester appeared fortunate when their England international hooker Tom Youngs received only a warning from referee Luke Pearce for charging into a ruck.
"Tom Youngs shouldn't have played the full 80 minutes," said Smith. "There were no arms involved and it was a shoulder charge which nearly took Declan Danaher's head off. It was perhaps a red-card offence and the citing commissioner will have to have a look at it."
Smith's Leicester counterpart, Richard Cockerill, agreed the scoreline was not an accurate reflection of the game.
"We were fortunate," Cockerill said. "The boys scrambled well but they [London Irish] played pretty well today and they deserved a bit more.
"We were really good in the first half and had several opportunities but we didn't take them. We then sat back and waited for things to happen which was disappointing, but it's five points on the road."
Flood returned after over a month off with a toe injury and was rewarded with 11 points, and in addition he created the first try for Morris with an alert cross kick.
"Toby was very assured today; it was a quality penalty kick under pressure late on and his kick to Niall was great awareness." said Cockerill.

Former BEA Execs Launch New Open-Source Venture
Former BEA Execs Launch New Open-Source Venture
A new open-source company launched Tuesday with bigtime backing and high-powered software bloodlines.
Seattle-based SourceLabs Inc. said it is focusing is on delivering "dependable open-source systems." It has secured $3.5 million in funding from Index Ventures, which has funded other successful open-source ventures, and Ignition Partners, which has funded several commercial software companies.
Ignitions participation signals both a growth in the acceptance of open-source software for enterprise use and the venture capitalists confidence in SourceLabs to deliver on its promise, said Byron Sebastian, CEO of SourceLabs.
The new company is led by several former BEA Systems Inc. executives. Sebastian was formerly vice president and general manager of the WebLogic Portal and Workshop divisions at BEA. SourceLabs chief architect, Will Pugh, was BEAs principal technologist working on the companys open-source strategy, and Cornelius Willis, SourceLabs vice president of sales and marketing, was previously vice president of developer marketing at BEA, where he led the companys efforts to open-source its Workshop framework under Project Beehive.
In addition, SourceLabs has hired Alex Bosworth as its first program manager. Alexs father, Adamvice president of engineering at Google and also a former BEA bigwigis an advisor to the company.
Click here to read more about Bosworths departure from BEA.
Sebastian and Adam Bosworth worked together at Crossgain, a startup co-founded by Bosworth and acquired by BEA. Bosworth, Pugh and Willis all left BEA earlier this year as part of an exodus of talent from the company.
Meanwhile, Danny Rimer, partner at Index Ventures, and Brad Silverberg, managing partner at Ignition Partners, have joined the SourceLabs board of directors. Silverberg, Willis and Adam Bosworth all previously worked at Microsoft.
Sebastian said he got the idea to start SourceLabs after talking to enterprise customers, open-source developers, ISVs and others about open-source software and the need for dependable systems.
"I wasnt thinking of forming a startup, but I talked to people and they shared their thoughts about open-source software and how they would use it more if they knew they could depend on it," Sebastian said. "I knew Brad through a mutual friend and I became an entrepreneur in residence at Ignition."
"Its interesting that this is the first open-source investment by Ignition," Willis said. Indeed, the venture capitalist has turned down many companies in the .Net world with proprietary strategies seeking its help.
Sebastian said the SourceLabs business model "is based on the insight and value in moving toward high-quality service and maintenance as opposed to software and software licenses. We focus on pre-integrated distribution of open-source systems and making subscriptions available to enterprise customers. We are interested in providing support and maintenance and even working with proprietary software as well."
Sebastian would not comment on what open-source technologies would comprise a typical pre-integrated SourceLabs system, nor would he comment on a specific time frame for availability.
However, he said, "Weve looked at languages like PHP, Perl and Python and technology like the MySQL database, and weve noticed they are driving millions of Web sites, but theyre not driving a whole lot of development in corporate America," because many enterprises do not totally trust the open-source model. Enterprise customers have had to either choose between "dependable but proprietary technology, or open technology with no company standing behind it," Sebastian said. "Were focused on delivering dependable open-source systems to customers."

Willis added that SourceLabs will certify its systems. "We provide one throat to choke for open-source infrastructure software," he said.
Certification "means being up front with people about all the tests weve run against the software, providing access to the test suites, test results [and so on]," Sebastian said. "Were talking about being very clear about what the performance of the software is and that everything will do what we say it will."
Willis said the company will provide tested and certified systems as opposed to components. "What customers need is pre-integrated systems," he said. "So well be providing distribution points. Think about it as a Dell for software."
SourceLabs target market will be large enterprises. "This is a global opportunity and were targeting global 2000 enterprises, and also working closely with ISVs," Sebastian said. "We see them as being key partners as well as customers."
In addition, Sebastian said SourceLabs is "egoless when it comes to technology." What the company delivers will be "based on customer demand rather than a technical agenda or lock-in," he said.
"We promise not to lock you in, ever," said Willis. "We believe in opt-in, not lock-in," he added. Strange words, one might think, from a former Microsoft marketing executive. But, in an interview with eWEEK when he worked at BEA, Willis spoke about his plans to open-source some of the companys proprietary technology: "I started with BEA November 1, and I started working on this from the start," said Willis, in the interview in May. Open-sourcing a portion of BEAs Workshop "was my first goal when I got here, and its what I spent my first hour working on," he said.
In a statement, Rich Freyberg, former CIO and senior vice president at Charles Schwab, said, "SourceLabs is providing what enterprise customers have been waiting for: someone to stand behind integrated open-source systems. Customers really do want one throat to choke and SourceLabs is the first company to provide this."
However, another open-source firm is delivering on a similar model for tools. [/article2/0,1759,1617771,00.asp] OpenLogic Inc., of Highlands Ranch, Colo., in June introduced its debut product, BlueGlue 3.0. BlueGlue is a developer tools suite of more than 100 open-source tools from projects including Eclipse, MySQL, Apache and JBoss.
Rod Cope, chief technology officer and founder of the company, said he came up with the idea for the business model after working as a consultant on several engagements for Fortune 50 companies that wanted to take advantage of open-source technology but lacked the expertise.
Cope said OpenLogic relieves the headache of open-source development by putting together a suite of open-source tools and maintaining upgrades and delivery of the current technology on a subscription basis. "Thats one of our main value adds," Cope said. "We are sort of like Red Hat [Inc.] is for Linux. We do the same sort of thing they do, but for these top 100 tools."

Pedal Powered PVC Pipe Catamaran With Ducks
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
J Dufour: Did you fill the pipe with anything or just leave it full of air?
Nomad Ryder: Great vid. Too bad about the phone. I'm designing something similar, but different, using a twisted chain drive, tho.
Victrola Fix: Awesome boat, I like the ducks on the front too!
ronaldhotboy: Freakin awesome!
synthesizer301: kut zooi
Paulo Daytenko: cara isso é ótimo
gosexman: I hope to answer some of your questions. It's 8" PVC pipe by ten feet long. It easily carried my weight at 160 lbs. On the test drive a pedal broke off and I limped back to the dock. I dropped my cell phone in the water when I launched the boat and subsequently had a fight with them camera man (wife) over the lost phone. (She doesn't understand the concept of "it's insured"). So there is no video! The boat went into storage while I built my next boat, a twenty foot center console with inboard diesel. Watch the videos of" Building Rescue Minor" on the gosexman channel. Sorry I don't have more pictures of the drive mechanism. It's home made with gears and chain. The model airplane propeller is the proper choice for such low RPMs. Boat propellers are designed for thousands of RPMs. I hope to relaunch this summer 2014. I must redesign the chair. The angle is wrong for incumbent pedaling. I may add a sail or a kite for fun.
VancouverCanucksRock: What's this built for? A 60 lb child?
adjumakaru: love that beat
gastank43: would it be considered evil and a sind by the christian community to give this boat to a assosiation for people in wheel chairs?
z1ny: I hope your boat is better than your video. 2 mins of the steering mechanism, yes we got it, what about the drive system? And is it flexible, or do you run aground?
skippy10776: is that prop big enough???
mindfreak001009: hi there..can i know where to buy the drive mechanism of you pontoon? i'm planning to have one like that for my upcoming vacation in Philippines pls help me find one thanks..nice project indeed!
Breck Millard: 1:01 (takes off flying)
Laura Bonagura: Floats great! Pedal broke off during sea trial. Building another boat now so this one will have to wait. See that video on the gosexman channel. It is called Rescue Minor.
lunatic catamaran: genius
ricglos: will not float with a 200 pound fat mama in a wheelchair,, Can you not see the buoyancy principle? ALL THAT HARD WORK ,and you have to call EMS for a rescue. Drink somemore of that beer, and have a rethink, good vid though.
Ben Gibson: Can you please give more detailed info on the drivetrain gearing (sizes and where you got it). Im doing a similar project and have been looking at the same gearing and propeller setup. Thank you
Carl Zorro: where about you bought the pvc with that diameter, 20'' or so?
Billy Heddins: Yeh, that's quite a project you've finished!! I like it!! the only thing I see that should be changed is the way the rudders work. I'm sure you went to great extremes making them move so easily that you can't even feel it.....BUT, it needs to hold wherever you put it. If you want to turn left, go straight, or whatever, you want the boat to steer itself. That's the key, that it steers itself. You just make adjustments to the direction! Great Job man!! You should answer some questions below!!!
30CalCoreLokt: I was kinda disapointed with the back of the PVC pipe wasnt the tails of the ducks lol GREAT BUILD!
mighty macca: love the seat....lol
AAAAAAACCCCCCCEEEEE: what size pvc is that?
Thijs18588: make a clip when you take it for a test drive?
gastank43: cause it's pedal powered and in case you haven't noticed people in wheelchairs usually got sort of a problem with anything where their feet would cause the propulsion.
badactor100: What type of foam is it?
tupsumato: I'd rather get a small propeller with better thrust characteristics. A large propeller would be too heavy for pedaling.
adrian lumakang: can i but6 that thing im in a phillipines i like your work very good
Laura Bonagura: @AAAAAAACCCCCCCEEEEE 10"
Robb's Homemade Life: i AM IMPRESSED, YOU HAD ME AT THE DUCKS.
altindashi6: Nice stuff for american tourist to go to Cuba.
gary grasser: hahhaaha go on a diet,,,,,,i think with a little more thought it will work,but I'm at 150,,hell at least he's doing something,,,and thanks ric,,i will have a beer ,,have a good one bud,,
SittingMoose Shaman: ...gives me idea! ...tho' i'll never be able to do it...take a relatively larger tube heat it in key areas till slightly soft...squoosh to desired forms of a kyak...cut-out where needed...fill with foam fore & aft & between rower and cargo-stows...form-up fore & aft, seal & water-proof...build out-riggers similarly(if wanted)...paint & away ya go...PVC is the 'jeep' of home-building material...
Victor Flores: Good work, put a sail and you will go fast.
DIEGAN100: Nice Boat. ¿ PLANS?
thewildthings101: How much do you think it cost you to build?
SittingMoose Shaman: ...no...why?
wtfchanneltomake: dead angle grinder parts works...
Tay Teck Bun: nice song.. what song is this? nice boat too
nialpmatk04: would you happen to have pics of how you put together your drive system?
qayaqbuilder: I imagine that it would sit loud in the water because of the weight of the PVC, even if it is hollow. Also the small propellers can't afford optimum propulsion. I'd suggest wider blades.
fcozz: Hey you own us the video test in the water.!!!! by the way looks nice, hope it works
checo1er: where did you get the metal brackets
LSfreak84: Looks like 6" IPS
Ramon Vaders: great job!!!!! I think I'm gonna make something like that 2
Rick Chubka: you are totally fantastic man. go ! go ! go !
Duncan Warth: Oh I love the drive mechanism congratulations on a lovely thing.
Laura Bonagura: 10" schedule 40
Spirit612: Did you change out the prop and use an actual boat prop: the R/C airplane prop might work marginally but is inefficient in the water and a trolling motor prop will give you better speed and control and take up less space on the bottom.
andre putter: I like what i see. You did a great job with the boat. I got just one question. What happens when you run out of fuel, not the boat you? Just joking. I got plans to build one using wood, but that seems a lot of work. What you did here is a great way. I really, really like!!!!!

Crashing the "Drinking Conservatively" Party
by Dan Chmielewski •
Since Drinking Liberally usually features a few conservatives every Thursday that we can carry on an intelligent conversation with over our favorite beverage, I decided to crash the inaugural "Drinking Conservatively" event in Costa Mesa last night.

LiberalOC reaches the 5000 post mark
by Chris Prevatt •
Today we have reached the 5000 post mark for our almost four-year old blog. April 26th marks our fourth birthday. For four years we have brought liberal perspective to the orange county blogosphere. We have challenged the right-wing republicans, and we have even taken issue with some democrats. With 732,000 visits and about 1.38 million page views to date, we look forward to many more years of Challenging the Right-Wing Noise Machine.
Tonite: Drinking Liberally Santa Ana – An Anti-Tea Party
by Chris Prevatt •
As we do every week, tonight we hold our Drinking Liberally gathering in Santa Ana. In response to the rallies of people across the country who have been fooled, by an astro-turf movement created by corporate interests that care nothing about the people they are whipping up into mini-riots, we raise a glass to democracy. We are not loosing it. We are actually gaining it back, bit by bit, through the efforts of a few bold Democrats in Congress working to free us from the grip of corporate control of our government and elected officials.
No Fooling, Drinking Liberally Happens Tonight

I have to admit, I have been remiss the past few weeks in sending out your weekly DL reminders. While it is April Fools Day today, it is no joke that we will be Drinking Liberally Tonight. We will not be doing anything like the RNC's Young Eagles though; there is no place to hang…
It's Thursday Again!!!
by Chris Prevatt •
That means it's time to join the weekly gathering of LIBERALS in Orange County at Memphis at the Santora. Given that it is also our last gathering before Halloween, it is only appropriate that we scare the crap out of our Republican friends with talk of Health Insurance Reform, Hate Crimes laws, and scary truths…
Van Tran: Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places

I just about spit coffee all over my keyboard Wednesday morning when I opened up this email from Assemblyman Van Tran.

Gary native Daryl Champion (third from left) poses for a photo with Windy City Live hosts Ryan Chivarini, Ji Suk Yi and Val Warner after lunch at Lillie's Restaurant in Chicago. Champion was invited to be a guest panelist on a live broadcast of "Windy City Live" earlier this month. | Photo provided
Updated: February 24, 2014 4:24AM
The Gary Public Library Board of Trustees, in partnership with the Friends of the Gary Public Library, are kicking off the start of Kwanzaa (Dec. 26 through Jan. 1) with a free Kwanzaa celebration at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 26, at the DuBois branch of the Gary Public Library, 1835 Broadway.
Kwanzaa, derived from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" means "first fruits" in Swahili and is an African-American and Pan-African holiday that celebrates family, community and culture.
Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor of Africana Studies at California State University in Long Beach.
The seven principles of Kwanzaa are Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity) and Imani (Faith).
Thursday's program will feature entertainment, speakers and refreshments. It is free to the public. Contact the DuBois Library, 886-9120 for more information.
Gary native Daryl Champion is a "Super Fan" of "Windy City Live," which airs at 11 a.m. weekdays on ABC 7.
He's such a fan — he interacts frequently with the daytime talk show's hosts, Val Warner, Ryan Chiavarini, Ji Suk Yi and Roe Conn, via the show's Facebook page — that he got the opportunity to be a part of the show's panel in the "Host Chat" segment Dec. 9.
Champion, who operates the family business Champ's Liquors in Gary, has sat in the audience a couple of times, but caught the producers' attention through social media.
"Ji sent me a direct message asking for my cell number and one of the producers called me and said they read my stuff on Facebook all the time and the humor and insightful comments caught their eye. Then she invited me to be a guest panelist for 'Host Chat'," Champion said.
His Dec. 9 appearance was a make-up date for Nov. 18. The show was pre-empted that day for breaking news regarding the aftermath of tornados damaging parts of Illinois.
"I was able to have lunch with them that day. They contacted me days later for the Dec. 9 appearance," he said.
The Dec. 9 show was lively with guests including actors Gabrielle Union and Richard Roundtree discussing their BET series, "Being Mary Jane."
Champion was able to talk about the family business, his work as an illustrator, and DancExcel, the studio operated by his sister, Dionne Nicole Champion, and Sherice Grant. He was also able to talk about the stage production of "The Spirit of the Baobab Tree," written by Dionne and Sherice, as well as the children's book based on the production.
"The 'Host Chat' segment went by so fast! It was great being on the other side of the TV screen," Champion said.

Wedding: 10/9/2011
My husband and I used Italy Bespoke Travel and Kathy Fahy as our honeymoon planner and gift registry website. Being in our 30's, we already both owned most of the traditional household items, but we still needed wedding gift ideas for friends and family who insisted on gifting from a "registry".
Kathy met with us in person multiple times before planning our trip in order to get to know us better and to get a sense of exactly what we'd like to do on our honeymoon. Then she planned a detailed, personalized trip to Italy tailored exactly to what we like to do! Let me say, we just got back from the most AMAZING and seamless Tuscan honeymoon planned by Kathy. We can NOT praise her enough for organizing such a fabulous trip and for the incredibly awesome registry they created for us online.
Everyone loved sharing in the excitement of our amazing honeymoon by gifting parts of it to us. Thanks to Kathy and her connections in Italy, we were treated like celebrities everywhere we went on the trip. We did not have to worry about a thing, even if we were running late for dinner or simply wanted to make a change to our plans (which is not easy on your own when you barely speak the local language). But with Italy Bespoke Travel, everything was taken care of for us instantly as though we were royalty, all we had to do is ask! The entire trip was COMPLETELY stress-free and for the first time, I didn't feel like I needed a "vacation from my vacation" when the trip was over (and that says a lot after the stress we were under from the actual wedding, which we planned ourselves!) Turns out, we were brilliant to have a honeymoon planner instead of a wedding planner!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH Kathy and Italy Bespoke Travel. You made our dream honeymoon a reality. Next time we go to Italy, we will be calling on you once again as our travel agent extraordinaire!!
Jocelyn and Ken -- October 2011

Why is it called Apple Watch
Apple announced a revolutionary product in Apple Watch. The name does not strike a cord for many. The dissatisfaction is palpable and understandable given the promise of a computer on wrist and the possibilities that enables. It will be much more than a watch. But why call it Apple Watch?
As Horace Dediu succinctly put
Apple product names are usually intuitive and convey the intended use directly. Just to pick a few: Numbers, Mail, iPhoto, Apple TV, Thunderbolt, Lightning – All these names make sense and convey the intended use directly. In light of this the name Apple Watch seems to be a disservice for the potential it shows.
However promising the prospects of iPhone might have been in 2007 it is hard for anyone to predict what would become of the iPhone a few years later. The killer apps for iPhone did not exist in 2007. Same goes for the Apple Watch in 2014.
What do you name a product when you do not clearly know what it would evolve into if you are used to naming products to convey exactly what they are meant for?
The safe bet is to name the product to convey the one essential function that is well defined, it will always do, and can be called upon to do anytime. For iPhone the essential/bare-minimum function guaranteed to always work is making phone calls. For Apple Watch it is telling time.
Horace Dediu reminds us of the Tentpoles around which iPhone and Apple Watch were launched
When the iPhone launched, Steve Jobs introduced it as being three products in one:
- A wide-screen iPod
– A phone
– A breakthrough internet communicator
When the Apple Watch launched, Tim Cook introduced it as being three things:
- A precise timepiece
– A new, intimate way to communicate
– A comprehensive health and fitness device.
Of the three tentpoles for iPhone only the phone part is a novelty in an apple product and well defined – Phone part of iPhone works the same way since day one. Although it would be a disservice to the product, an iPhone can be used just as a phone. iPod functionality existed in the iPod. Internet communicator functionality was not well defined – at least not the way it would power novel applications a few years down the line. It seems natural that Apple would name this product Phone.
Of the three tentpoles for Apple Watch only the timepiece part is well defined and guaranteed to work the same way from day one. Timepiece functionality is a novelty in an Apple product. Timepiece functionality will not improve significantly – Accuracy within 15 msec is way more than good enough. The other two tentpoles do not pass this test: intimate communication device and health/fitness device parts are far from well defined and will see significant improvements in future version. It seems natural that Apple would name this product Watch.
Now does it make sense to call them iPhone, Apple Watch?
Instacart, Soylent, hobbies
Every week I go on a trip to the local grocery stores to stock up the kitchen and the fridge. Most of the time I have to go to multiple stores – this is partly because some of what I want is available only in a particular store; and partly from observations on quality, pricing differences on items that are available at multiple stores. I understand this behavior is common. Most people do this weekly ritual on weekends. Stores plan for the rush on weekends and are often not as well stocked on the lean days. While the economy is attuned to this man-made construct called work-week and weekends, mother nature treats all days equally. Vegetables, flowers and fruits do not plan backwards from weekends and account for transportation and harvesting.
I have often wondered what a waste of time these weekly grocery trips are, more so if the day thus far had not been very productive. I am sure many have felt this way and wondered if there was a way out.
People pay for convenience. The folks at Instacart, and investors like Andresseen-Horowitz are betting that enough people will pay for this convenience.
Several questions arise:
- Does the typical shopper buy groceries from one store?
- Given that Instacart charges by the store "For most stores, delivery in under 2 hours is just $3.99″ Will someone hire Instacart for several stores?
- Will someone hire Instacart several times a week for the same store to get fresher produce?
Routines and rituals punctuate our lives. I enjoy the time when the whole family goes on these grocery trips. Such trips are clearly marked during the week. May be I am in the minority.
I see the benefit of services like Instacart in saving time and effort for many people. Even to this day households in many parts of the world buy vegetables and fruits from hawkers. May the developed world is going back to the convenience of getting produce right from home; services like Instacart provide an added convenience of choosing from a much bigger selection than the vendor can transport on a cart.
That brings me to the next topic doing rounds in my head in recent days: Soylent.
Food is integral to culture – at least so far. We make plans for social gatherings around food. Ceremonies are commemorated with elaborate feasts. Countless conversations end with "How about we meet for lunch sometime next week.?" It reminds me of the famous The New Yorker cartoon. "How about never — Is never good for you?"
People point out that food cannot be replaced by a concoction like Soylent and that it is doomed to fail. Not every meal is conversational, socializing, etc., Just ask how many meals are eaten alone at the desk. Chris Dixon put it succintly.
According to Soylent critics, every non-Soylent meal is a joyous family gathering featuring organic food and edifying conversation.
— Chris Dixon (@cdixon) May 19, 2014
The mistake in this analysis of Soylent haters is that Soylent will replace food completely. As Balaji Srinivasan pointed out, Soylent will not be a substitue for all food in the near future or may be never. Soylent can substitute snicker bars or milk shakes that go between meals. It is highly unlikely Soylent will replace entire meals for anyone outside the die-hard fans. Soylent will definitely not replace grilling with friends at the local park or the family dinner or the dinner at a friend's house. It does not have to. The job that Soylent addresses is satisfying hunger quickly, possibly lonely meals.
The thing people don't get about @soylent is that it's a replacement for Snickers bars, not salad. A better default than junk food.
— Balaji S. Srinivasan (@balajis) May 5, 2014
I am not convinced that food can be replaced by a concoction of checmical ingredients. The reason is that we can only test and create synthetically what we know about food.
Societies evolve. Daily affairs of lore are now hobbies. Eg: hunting, running, grilling, gardening, camping. Will trips to the grocery stores and cooking for oneself go this way? I am not convinced.8
Workspaces On Tablets
Tablet computers are shared much more than desktop or laptop computers. However, there is no privacy or individual workspace on a tablet. Tablets have lacked the individual logins available in desktop and laptop computers.
I understand there are resource constraints on Tablets. I am eager to see the day when TouchID will be used to recognize the user and show the applications associated with the user. Even if this provision is not full scale, it would immensely help parents who share a Tablet with children to limit what the children can access.
Apps are silos. We can limit the silos available to individual users.
Digital Camera Trend in 2013
Ignorance and Expertise
There are simply too many things going on for any one person even to know the key basics in every relevant field, never mind become an expert or have some insight.
No-one can be an expert on all of those
Benedict Evans on Limits of Knowledge
I completely agree with Benedict. When one person can not synthesize a multitude of areas, a team of experts is the answer. Each person in this fictional team is a "T" expert — meaning having a decent understanding of a variety of areas and a deep understanding in the area(s) of core concentration. When the understanding of such a team is put together the result is a solid understanding. One needs to be careful to have few gaps between the stems of "T"s to avoid cracks and blind spots.
Almost three years ago I wrote on how asking to pay for a physical book and e-book separately was double charging. Amazon announced Kindle MatchBook. It is still not giving e-book for free with a physical book. It is close enough.
Digital Camera Trend In 2012
Here is an update on digital camera market performance in 2012. The Camera and Image Products Association of Japan provides data on the number of units produced, shipped and their value. Most major digital camera vendors participate in this research. With a majority of digital camera vendors hailing from Japan, the data from CIPA is a good proxy for the industry. Let us read into the trend based on the shipment data.
- SLR camera unit shipments continued to grow. 2012 saw 28% more shipments.
- One in 5 digital cameras shipped was an SLR.
- Basic camera shipments continued to decrease. 2012 saw 22% fewer shipments. This is the worst drop since 2006.
- 2012 saw a break in price erosion of the past several years. Basic cameras held the price. SLRs on the other hand reversed the trend and sold for higher price.
- Price of basic camera, on average, held steady at $115.
- SLR camera ASP went from $429 to $467.
- On the whole ASP improved significantly to $187.
- SLRs accounted for 51% of total revenue.
- Revenue from basic cameras fell by 22%.
- SLR revenue increased by 41%.
- Overall revenue increased slightly.
All the above charts are based on US Dollar equivalents (1 JPY = 0.0125 USD) of prices and revenues reported in Japanese Yen.
The following table shows growth rates of various aspects.

I would like to know about jobs for cna's that can draw blood?
- 0Oct 8, '07 by nymia78i live on long island in new york and i have experience drawing blood can that skill be utilized in the cna setting .would i make more money or will i be used ? and what hospitals or nursing home will hire me. Oh i really would like answer from people in NEW YORK.because that is where i live and i found out that 3 local hospital near me do they just change the name .i haven't even taken my cna class yet but i have 7 yrs experince drawing blood i'm just tryna see how i can utilize all my skills into a cna job and become better so when i take my lpn i'll be in there like swimwear wit knowlegde andskillsLast edit by nymia78 on Oct 12, '07
- 0Oct 8, '07 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorIn all of the facilities where I have been employed, the CNAs are not responsible for blood draws and venipuncture. Either the licensed nurses (LVN or RN) draw blood, or the lab comes out to do all of the sticks and blood draws.
- 0Oct 11, '07 by ShannonRN09Drawing blood is not in the scope of practice for a CNA. As the other posters stated, if you are employed as a TECH such as in an ER, you can be delegated other activites, and I suppose in some hospitals that could entail drawing blood.
- 1Oct 11, '07 by Jessy_RNQuote from shannon88Drawing blood is not in the scope of practice for a CNA. As the other posters stated, if you are employed as a TECH such as in an ER, you can be delegated other activites, and I suppose in some hospitals that could entail drawing blood.
I work in AZ and our CNA's do all of our blood draws/sticks. The RN's do IV's but CNA's do the sticks. It was very surprising to me to when I moved here.
- 0Oct 14, '07 by pagandeva2000I live in New York. Patient Care Associates are able to draw blood and do EKGs in the hospitals out here. Most times, they have been trained as CNAs and took an additional course in phlebotomy. If you already have the certification, then, you may luck out by applying at these hospitals and producing your phlebotomy certificate. Elmhurst Hospital, Queens Hospital Kings, County Hospital, these are all under Health and Hospital Corporation...civil service positions. Good luck!
- 0Oct 22, '07 by FeathersHi, I'm a new CNA/PCT. Well I finished 3 months ago, but haven't worked as one yet. I was just offered a job at the local hospital (Chicago area) & drawing blood is w/in the PCT's scope here. Thankfully I am proficient at sticking thanks to an awesome 6 month phleb course. I feel so much more at ease know exactly how to stick as opposed to a crash-course & a Hail Mary. lol.
- 0Oct 23, '07 by dorrybnursingWhen I was a CNA in Tn the techs drew all the labs, most of the nurses were really bad at drawing blood because they hardly ever did it. It was scary because all the training I had was another CNA showing me how to do the sticks.

For US employers, 'hiring is a function of demand'
- Paul Wiseman, AP Economics Writer
The job market remains tough even for the very educated or very experienced. Erica Johnson, 33, calls herself a "couch-surfing Ph.D." because she's been sleeping on sofas in the homes of friends and relatives in Lexington, Ky. Armed with a doctorate in education policy, she'd like to work as a college administrator.
But most management jobs she's pursued require more experience. Yet she's considered over-qualified for lower-level jobs.
"There aren't a lot of mid-level openings," Johnson said, after many states have cut education budgets.
Phil Allen, 48, a PR professional in suburban Chicago, says he's had 70 job interviews in the past year. He gave a 20-minute presentation as part of an all-day interview for one opening this spring and left thinking, "There's no way I'm not going to get this job."
"But I didn't get it," he said. "That's kind of a crushing thing."
- Christopher S. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer
Nearly three years into the recovery, hiring remains weak by every historical standard.
Consider what happened when companies slashed jobs in the 1981-82 recession. In September 1982, layoffs ran at an annual rate topping 4 percent. But the economy rebounded explosively. And job growth followed. By February 1984, 15 months after the recession had ended, hiring was occurring at a 6.5 percent annual pace.
During the Great Recession, job cuts were even steeper. They occurred at a 6 percent to 7 percent annual rate in the winter of 2008-09. Yet since the recession officially ended in June 2009, job gains have been fitful. Hiring has only recently topped 2 percent of total payrolls - just one-third the pace after the 1981-82 recession.
What's going on this time?
Mainly, the economy is too weak to drive more job growth. Consumers are still cautious about spending. And the housing sector is still weak. Both are weighing on the economy more than in previous recoveries.

It needs a little -- skunk? 2The next day greeted Jordan. Sunlight streamed and a pleasant breeze blew through the window.Jordan's sluggish mind kept the memories of his physical changes in a fog.He sat up and blinked at the sight of the new room that greeted him.Some of the fog lifted, letting Jordan remember that this wasn't a new room per say but his new room.The vision the mirror across from his bed reflected of a humanoid female skunk sitting up his bed wearing what looked like overalls, gave Jordan a sudden awareness of the extra weight on his chest.Jordan blinked and then chuckled when he realized that everything that happened the previous day was real."Who dressed me in overalls anyway?" Jordan asked.A scream from Vick's room had Jordan bolting out of the bed and rushing over. What he saw when he got into the room was Vick standing beside his bed wearing a white dress."Why am I wearing a dress?" Vick cried. "This doesn't mean I've become a girl too does it?""Only one way to find out," Jordan said.

If only I could tell someone that I'm just fine
in fact, I'm just under their noses.Most of my friends no longer attend the University, but I was there for their graduations and what was supposed to be my own. I sti
My Shocking TransformationAnd remember everyone to meet here at two oclock for the bus ride home. Our science teacher told us as everyone got off the bus.My class was on a field trip to the local science museum, which prided itself for being interactive. There was plenty of things to do from seeing how fast you run compared to a cheetah to using giant dishes to communicate over long distances. Of course, this wasnt my first time here and so everything that was there I had done before already. Still, it was a day out of school so I didnt mind. Besides, it was a bit of a fun place to be.There was a bit of a downside to that day though; thunderstorms. Our area had been getting quite a bit of them over the last few days and today wasnt any different. So we were being soaked as he made our way in, leaving plenty of wet spots on my yellow t-shirt I was wearing and getting my legs wet s we splashed through puddles (apparently I had picked the wrong day to wear shorts). Once we wer
