Looking for something new in your interior? What about these great cushions by B/aR, by Dutch graphic designer Barbara Smit. Various maps of the Netherlands (for example maps of the water, forest or construction density) form the base for these colourful cushions. Check out her website for more info. I think they are a great addition of some map fun in your interior without going completely map nut.

Map Music: Map Ref. 41°N 93°W by Wire
Weird, but I don't have any map song posts yet on Maps and the City! So, what better way to start with this one. Thank you Melle for introducing this classic to me (so you should thank him for my music education). Enjoy Map Ref. 41°N 93°W by Wire (1979).
"An unseen ruler defines with geometry
An unrulable expanse of geography
An aerial photographer over-exposed
To the cartologist's 2D images knows
The areas where the water flowed
So petrified, the landscape grows
Straining eyes try to understand
The works, incessantly in hand
The carving and paring of the land
The quarter square, the graph divides
Beneath the rule, a country hides
Interrupting my train of thought
Lines of longitude and latitude
Define and refine my altitude
The curtain's undrawn
Harness fitted, no escape
Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland
Landscape, canal, canard, water coloured
Crystal palaces for floral kings
A widespread waving span of wings
Witness the sinking of the sun
A deep breath of submission has begun"
Good Night Jewellery – Wake Up Post
I can pretend it did not take ages since my last post, but that would be unfair. I haven't had much time for Maps and the City lately, which is a shame. Was there not enough cool map stuff out there? Definitely not! There's more than enough beautiful and cool design things going on. So the good news is, I'm back with loads of inspiration. Here we go, let's start with one of my recent finds on Etsy:
These cufflinks, rings and necklace pendants are handmade and called Good Night Rome, Good Night Berlin, Good Night Warsaw: you get the idea. The image on this jewellery is based on satellite night photos. The artist (Simon from FruitBijoux) added some gold metal particles to the surface to create a shimmering view on the city. Very pretty if you ask me!
Map Art by Coen Pohl
Looking for a special gift for a friend who's crazy about Amsterdam? What about this limited edition art print? This Amsterdam city map by Coen Pohl measures 100cm x 100cm (limited edition 1/100, €680,-). Check out Zart design.
Neon is the new Black
Cool map alert! These Neon Maps City Posters by Jay Powell might be the perfect map for your living room or office. They are suitable for framing and there are various cities to choose from: Moscow, New York, Melbourne just to name a few. Ah, and countries too! And… if your region/city/country/favourite intersection is not on the list yet, you might just get it by backing the project on Kickstarter! Check it out, you only have 6 days left.
Georeferenced Atlas der Neederlanden
As you may know, I work at the Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam, and I was lucky to get involved with a project called 'Atlas der Neederlanden'. This atlas is in fact an impressive factice atlas from the collection (nine folios with maps of the Netherlands from several centuries up until approximately 1816, when the Kingdom of the Netherlands was shaped). The maps in the Atlas were restored and they are now on show in an fantastic exhibition, until 9 February 2014. (OK, I'll stop promoting now).
With this project I also got into georeferencing a little: still quite a new field for me but this website by UvA-researcher Jan Hartmann gives a great idea of the possibilities. The technique behind this website is really far ahead. On the left, you can browse through all the maps in the nine folios of the Atlas der Neederlanden, and on the right you can project the map onto various maps of the Netherlands as we know the country today. You can easily zoom in and out of the various maps on a very high speed. Great way to see how accurate the maps in the Atlas are, or to see how they are oriented. Or: just to marvel at the beauty of these old maps, because they are incredibly pretty.
Etymology Maps
MATC loves: Maps by Floor Rieder
Floor Rieder is a Dutch illustrator who creates awesome things and who happens to like & use maps. Good news for us, because now we can share some of her work with you (these shopping maps were published in a special by Dutch newspaper Het Parool, last Saturday). Go Floor!
Age does matter!
Thanks to my lovely friend L. I have a new favourite website (shared first spot with MapsandtheCity.com of course). On this great website you can see the age of buildings. Different colours for different eras. Makes you realise how spectacular historical city centres are!
All 9,866,539 buildings in the Netherlands are on this map. The map is made with TileMill by Bert Spaan, Waag Society, inspired by BKLYNR. Input comes from the Kadaster, open sourced via CitySDK. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. Take some time sometime this weekend to look around on this website, you'll love it. Thanks for making my day Bert!
(you see the various shades of blue for the newest part of the Netherlands that used to be water before we Dutchies got into 'polders'. And the red beauty of old cities like Leiden and Amsterdam…)
Maps + Typography = Double Joy
Some things just don't need much of an introduction. Check out Mala: a typeface family that is dedicated to cartography. It's created by Barbara Bigosińska who says: 'My goal was to break a bit the boredom in cartography which is nowadays mostly computer-generated and thought a bit of human touch would do some good.' She succeeded if you ask me: great variations in this one typeface family.

New Tech Gets Control of Your Moneybrain
With all of the Occupy Wall Street talk about division of wealth and the continued concerns about the world economy, it might seem like a good time to start depositing more money in a savings account… but for many, saving that money for a rainy day is a very difficult challenge. You came here for good news though, right? Recent studies have been revealing parts of the brain that encourage some of us to be better savers than others, and now a new technology might be able to bring out the rational money saver in all of us.

Window in a stairwell of the Charlottesville Woolen Mills 4 storey building
Michael J Abrahams PE, Chief Gesigner of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
Waddell Memorial Presbyterian Church, 7133 Rapidan Road, Rapidan, Virginia
Carpenter Gothic, built in 1874, in the Rapidan National Historic District
"…built as an addition to a small mid-nineteenth century frame house on Riverdale Drive
in Charlottesville for Minnie M. Barnes in 1912. The addition features rock-faced concrete
block quoins, a concrete block foundation and a tetrastyle portico without
capitals or bases."- K. Edward Lay
For over a century this house sat on a bluff of the Rivanna, facing east toward
the Free Bridge. It has been torn down in the last few days. What next for this
lot at the eastern entrance of Charlottesville? A drug store?
Entrance corridor. Welcome to beautiful Charlottesville. This the former Riverdale site.
I wish I was going to Buffalo next week for CNU 22 , confab of new urbanists. My closest approach
was sitting in a room with Ian Lockwood this past week.
Ian shared his transportation philosophy, spoke earnestly about connectivity, and showed a map
that alternately intrigues and terrifies. What exactly is a framework street? Reserving judgement until it is
possible to learn more. Does the finish detail of the Duke of Gloucester Street qualify for a modern framework street?
Some new wine doesn't belong in the old bottle.
The CityWalk apartment development is open for business. Reviews to date are mixed.
While apartments are being leased and inhabited, construction elsewhere on the site is ongoing, completion scheduled for November.

Monotype Launches the Brand Perfect Annual, Created by Renowned Designer, Jeremy Leslie
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Brand Perfect, an initiative by Monotype, launches its first ever printed Brand Perfect™ Annual, created by Jeremy Leslie, one of the U.K.'s most respected authorities in design and head of his own studio, magCulture.
Published by Monotype, a leading provider of typefaces, technology and expertise for creative applications and consumer devices, the Brand Perfect Annual was designed by Leslie with assistance in art direction from James Fooks-Bale and Dan Rhatigan, creative director and type director at Monotype, respectively.
Using a variety of typefaces, the annual comprises features on branding, design, typography, technology, digital media and a special section devoted to transport and travel. The different sections are highlighted by the use of complementary typefaces.
For example, an article by design consultant Dave Cochrane is set in Adrian Frutiger's famous Frutiger® design, used extensively throughout the world, such as in various airport wayfinding systems. A feature by technology journalist David Nield is set in the Droid™ Sans design, the open typeface created by Monotype's Steve Matteson for use in the Android® operating system.
The annual consists of several features of updated pieces from brandperfect.org and one commissioned for Wired UK, along with new articles, such as "The Wisdom of the Age." The piece asks 20 brand, design and development professionals including Marketing Week's editor Ruth Mortimer, D&AD's chief executive officer Tim Lindsay, and Moleskine's vice president of brand equity and communications Maria Sebregondi, what they learned in 2013 and how that's informing their approach in 2014.
"For the first BrandPerfect Annual, we set a strong grid structure against which the design could be adapted to reflect the many types of content," said Leslie. "Each article uses a different typeface from the Monotype® Libraries, and the pace is set by varying visual treatments, while common elements such as grid rules and picture captions help hold the whole thing together. Individual inspirations include Facebook pages, airport graphics and Web advertising, while an overarching reference point was traditional children's annuals which use multiple styles across their pages."
Neil Ayres, editor of BrandPerfect, said, "The Brand Perfect Annual highlights the importance of design and innovative technology in branding, not just in relation to visual communication but all aspects of brand experience, from customer service through to product development. Jeremy Leslie's clever design for the Brand Perfect Annual complements not only its subject matter but serves to reinforce this message."

.- Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Catholic Archbishop of London, told the synod of bishops meeting this month that, when speaking about Eucharist, they must emphasize communion as the spiritual bond that ties the Church together. "I am convinced that a recovery of the theology and ecclesiology of koinonia, in its many dimensions, is truly a fruit of the presence of the Spirit of the Risen Christ in his Church and a theme of immense ecumenical significance," he said Tuesday, in one of the first speeches to be heard at the Synod, reported the Archbishop's House.
He said the relationship between communion/koinonia and the Eucharist should be "a central feature" of the bishops' discussions and documents. He urged participants not to limit themselves to "a narrow discussion of practical norms or catechetical guidelines, important as these are", but to keep the larger picture in mind.
"This Synod on the Eucharist takes us to the heart of all that the Second Vatican Council sought to say about Church, the world, and the destiny of all human history in the mystery of the Blessed Trinity."

Iraq-Shell Gas Deal Likely To Be Delayed
Also complicating the development plans is the absence of a national hydrocarbon law, which has been repeatedly delayed. The law is designed to regulate Iraq's natural resources investment. It has been stalled in parliament since 2007 because of disagreement about the level of control that the central and regional governments would have over resources.
Iraq has the world's third largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia and Iran with at least 115 billion barrels of proven reserves. It also sits on at least 112 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves.
But due to decades of war, lack of investment and U.N. sanctions, the OPEC-member country produces only between 2.3 million and 2.4 million barrels a day. It exports just over 2 million barrels a day, under OPEC's production quota.
It plans to produce 4.5 million barrels a day by 2013 and up to 6 million barrels a day by 2015. It also aims to increase associated gas production to 5.1 billion cubic feet per day from the current 1.7 billion cubic feet over the same period. About 700 million cubic feet are being flared daily due to lack of sufficient infrastructure.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — After a 50 year run, the downtown St. Paul Macy's will be closing its doors for good on Saturday.
The department store chain announced earlier this year that it was one of six under-performing stores nationwide to close this spring. Macy's officials say that more than 150 employees at the store are getting severance packages or offered jobs at other locations.
There have been no official talks as to what might move into the space. The downtown St. Paul Macy's closes at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The Republican National Committee has a message for theater owners: Put "The Interview" back on your screens.
MutualBank Secure Login
MutualBank Online Banking
"The customer is our reason for being here." - Unknown
There is so much truth to that quote. At MutualBank, we know we are here because our customers have been loyal to us for 122 years.
Our Granger financial center is setting aside some time to do what we can never do enough,
say "Thank You!" If you're in the Granger area, be sure to swing by tomorrow from 9a-5p.
We want the opportunity to say thank you.
Maybe you're reading this and are thinking, "Hey, I'm not in the Granger area," so you can't stop by. In that case, on behalf of MutualBank, I say "Thank You". If you ever have a question, want to share your good or bad experience, or need some additional help, please let us know!
We want to hear from you! You can talk with us on Facebook or Twitter. If you'd prefer to email us, go ahead! You can also call if that's easiest. Call us at 800-382-8031.
Its not easy, being green lamented Kermit the Frog, in the Muppet movie. Well, its not easy being a banker these days either. A 24 hour news cycle does its best to hype up the changes in the banking industry so that by the time a customer comes into a bank, they are already annoyed.
You hear it from everywhere; Banks are charging for everything now! Next they will charge you to breathe inside the branch! OK, maybe this is an exaggeration, but its the feeling consumers have. Its not easy being me!
Well, it is easy to be a customer at MutualBank. Mutuals new changes to checking accounts give you the opportunity to keep your checking account free by doing what most people do anyway. For instance you can avoid a monthly fee on one of our customizable checking accounts by simply using your debit card 8 times a month and getting eStatements. I dont know about you, but I use my debit card way more than 8 times a month. And eStatements? Not wasting all that paper is great for the planet as well as your filing cabinet! Simple right? Not only that, but we also reward you for using that debit card! With our Uchoose Loyalty Rewards you get points for using your debit card that you can exchange for almost anything from a gift card all the way to airline miles.
Yes, there have been some major changes in banking lately. But even Kermit would agree that its not so bad to be green when your green is with MutualBank.
Written by Debra Jones-Price, Manager at MutualBank's Bethel Financial Center in Muncie, Indiana.
I was visiting with a colleague after a networking meeting last week. After conversing for a few minutes, I asked her, What do you want from your bank? She replied, I want to get money every time I swipe my debit card.
She went on to explain how she pretty much only uses her debit card and it would be great if she could get something in return for doing so.
In March of this year, CBS News posted a video and news article about how banks are cutting back on their debit card reward programs. The reasons for the cut back include both a downward economy and the interchange regulation changes.
The conversation with my colleague jogged my memory of this article and got me thinking about MutualBanks debit card reward program. Here is my colleague, living in a community where MutualBank resides and shes banking with another institution that doesnt give her what she wants. Am I the only one who thinks there is something wrong with this picture?
I proceeded to tell her about MutualBanks debit card reward program. MutualBank has offered a debit card reward program for over three years. They've always appreciated their customers. But over the last year, MutualBank evaluated how they could express that appreciation in a way that would positively impact their customers. They wanted to physically thank their customers for their loyalty to MutualBank. So what did they do? They expanded the debit card reward program to be a full scale reward program, solely based on loyalty.
I shared with my colleague that not only does she get points for using her debit card, she also would get points for the balance in her accounts, balances on mortgages, auto loans and investments. My colleague is a younger professional who does not yet have a mortgage. The great thing about MutualBank's loyalty reward program is that they're here to grow with her. As she obtains new accounts at MutualBank, she gets bonus points. And after she earns all of these points for all the different relationships she has with MutualBank, she can redeem the points for just about anything she wants. She can redeem her points for gift cards, plane tickets, hotel stays, a new laptop, really, almost anything!
So are debit card reward programs extinct? Nope. Not at MutualBank, at least. In fact, MutualBanks debit card reward program is not only alive, but its an advance loyalty program designed to say one thingThank you.
2011 marks Muncie's Habitat for Humanity 25th anniversary of serving families in our community with 'a place to call home'.
In October of this year Muncie Habitat will build a home for its 100th family! Muncie Habitat is inviting the entire community to Make a $10 Dollar Difference and support the funding of this house. In just one week (This week - September 12-17), Muncie Habitat and local media outlets are campaigning to raise $50,000 through $10 donations from 5,000 people in our community.
On Monday, September 12th, the 'traveling wall' made it's appearance at the Downtown Muncie office!
MutualBank and Habitat for Humanity have been longtime partners. In fact, for their entire existence in this community, MutualBank has supported Habitat for Humanity. MutualBank has worked with many of Habitats partner families. MutualBankers have donated both work time and personal time to help on worksites. Additionally, MutualBank has helped Habitat for Humanity secure grants for funding.
So the question is...why? Why are we so involved? It's simple.
"Homeownership makes a difference in the lives of families. A decent place to live is the foundation for a better life."
Habitat for Humanity has this statement on their website and it is the exact reason why we support Habitat for Humanity. We support home ownership and want to help people live better lives. So we'll do our part, it's your turn to do yours. If you'd like to support Habitat's efforts to build their 100th home, you can donate in three ways:
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday MutualBank. Happy birthday to you!
On September 7, 1889, the Mutual Home and Savings Association was formed. The purpose of Mutual Home over a century ago was very simple. The Association provided a safe place for saving money and a source of funds available to the community for the building and purchasing of homes. 122 years later, we still serve that purpose, but are better equipped to serve all of the needs of our customers of today.
As one of the oldest businesses in our markets, MutualBank has grown and prospered over the full course of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century, meeting the financial needs of its customers through times of war and peace as well as prosperity, recession and even depression. While on the surface this proves we are a bank that meets the needs of our customers; there is something greater that exists below the surface. There is a culture that unless part of the MutualBank family, you might not know exists. When you become part of the MutualBank family, you learn that this is much more than a job that earns a paycheck. You learn about the essence of MutualBank heritage and personal responsibility.
Heritage. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines heritage as something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor. After 122 years in business, we realize there were many before us who paved the way and created a culture in helping our neighbors. Our entire organization was founded on the premise that it could help people improve their lives. One of my favorite stories over our history is of a time during the Great Depression. It is told as follows:
Even a greater problem which people encountered during the 1930s involved meeting their mortgage payments. Once again, however, Mutual Home fared reasonably well; but, unquestionably, people who were unemployed found it extremely difficult to make their mortgage payments. If a delinquency became too serious, the usual policy called for the property to be deeded back to Mutual Home, which, in turn renovated and rented it, sometimes to the original purchaser with an option to re-acquire it at a later date. Walter Burt, who was a member of the board of directors at Mutual Home said of that time, We just had to be flexible and patient and work out the best arrangements that were possible. In time, most people got back on their feet. Many repurchased and eventually paid off their loan.
To understand the heritage of MutualBank automatically changes what we do from just a job to something personal. MutualBank is a mid-sized community bank. We have checking accounts, loans, and mobile banking just like other banks. So what makes MutualBank special? Our employees are dedicated and take personal responsibility to continue moving forward with our already established culture. If we take personal responsibility to provide the best service, do what is right and have compassion and respect for our customers, we believe our customers would not want to bank with anyone else but us.
Obviously, we believe our duty and our role in the community is much more than providing financial services. We are people and a company seeking to help people, to help our neighbor. Were just using banking as a platform to do so. And thats always been the case. We know, understand and consciously make decisions based on the fact that if it werent for our customers and our community, we wouldnt be here. It is truly a tribute to our customers and our communities that we have been in business for 122 years. Our hope is that the partnership between MutualBank and the community has been mutually beneficial.
We thank you for taking a moment with us and celebrating the success and longevity of MutualBank.
Did you know the Merriam-Webster dictionary now references google as a verb?
I find this interesting because I google everything! I have a BlackBerry, so it makes it easier for me to google things I'd never think to google. Yesterday I was having lunch at a local restaurant. A song came on the restaurant's satellite station that was playing as background music. Two people at my table were having a friendly debate about who sang the song and what decade it was released. Not being a music connoisseur, I was clueless of the answer. So what did I do? I grabbed my phone and it became a race for me to identify the correct answer by googling it before the debate was over. (For those that have to know, I did find the answer and could affirm the one individual who was arguing that Robert Palmer sang "Bad Case of Loving You".)
The reason why googling is so successful is that you can find everything you could ever want to know, just by searching a few words. But let me ask, how accurate are the results? To be honest, they are pretty accurate, especially on simple things. But have you ever thought about googling your financial questions?
As I mentioned, I google just about everything. But when it comes to my money, I want to be sure I'm getting 100% accurate information. Sometimes I prefer to talk to someone face-to-face. And more often than not, I don't want to share personal financial questions unless it's with someone I trust. I have worked hard for my money and I want to be sure the answers I receive are customized to me and my situation. But there are many times I want to research options and give myself time to ponder before I take time to meet with someone. Sometimes, I want to be educated and have an idea of what I want or need before someone tells me.
Are you like me? Do you want to take time to research options and advice before you're ready to take the next step?
If so, MutualBank is taking steps to meet your needs. On October 3rd, MutualBank is releasing an Education Center designed for you. The Education Center will have articles to help you research that next financial step in your life. It will have calculators to help you determine what makes sense. For example, one calculator can help you determine if refinancing your mortgage is right for you.
Get the best of both worlds: the ability to research your options before you take the next step and research with someone you already know and trust. Because at MutualBank, we're here to help you live a better life.
There have been a lot of concerns surrounding the current US economic situation. While it is serious, there are a lot of different views that are creating more confusion. Here are some quick thoughts that I believe will shed some additional light on the situation.
Debt Ceiling
In the first few days of August we heard that we had reached our debt ceiling and that if it was not raised, the US would be in default on its obligations. There is some truth, but also some misconceptions in that thought. Assume you are utilizing a credit card to pay bills, etc with a $10,000 limit and you currently have $9,500 balance on the credit card, you have $500 remaining prior to hitting your personal debt ceiling. What are your choices if you want to continue to use the credit card? {Get another credit card, get a line increase}. If you have the ability to get another card or get a line increase, you will not default on the payments you are making, but payments may be delayed or delinquent until you get the new card or a line increase. You would still have the ability to make payments on your bills rather than using your credit cards you will be limited to what is in your checking account or the cash you have available. Congress needed to increase the credit line or debt ceiling so the US Treasury could continue to borrow. While the US was not bankrupt like other European nations, without the increase the US Treasury could not continue to issue debt to pay the bills. While the US Treasury would still have been able to pay some bills due to revenues, other bills could not be paid because the government is paying more out than they are receiving in revenues. This practice of paying out more than revenues at the current pace is not sustainable and Congress must find a way to match revenues and expenses in the near future (balanced budget).
S&P Downgrade
S & P reduced the ratings of the US government due to the above discussion. In normal situations, a downgrade of a companys rating would result in the company to pay higher interest rates due to being seen as a riskier investment. After the S & P downgrade the US Treasuries interest rates actually decreased due to it being the most liquid currency and the faith put into the US economic system around the world. So, while a decrease in the S & P rating should not be taken lightly, due to the increasing debt of the US, we should not allow others to convince us that the sky is falling. The most liquid, secure investment continues to be US debt (Treasuries) and other corporate debt will continue to be priced off of US Treasuries.
Congress must find a way to reduce the increase in the US debt. The final outcome will probably be increased revenues (tax increases) and expense reduction (reducing government programs) to help balance the budget. The current level of expenses versus the revenues generated is not sustainable and a balance approach to solving this issue is necessary.

It is hard to think about Christmas when it's over 90 degrees outside. Let me give you a reason to start thinking about snow, get togethers, Christmas cookies and the holiday season...
Christmas is 21 weeks away. You might not think that is very soon, but for those of us who buy gifts, make candies and cookies, host get togethers and travel, 21 weeks is right around the corner!
As each holiday season approaches, I realize I always forget to budget for Christmas gifts. Before I know it, it's Thanksgiving and I'm trying to figure out how much money I can spare so I can buy that special framed artwork that would look perfect in my sister's new home. This year is going to be different. I'm planning ahead. I've come up with a few ideas to help me save specifically for Christmas. I thought maybe these ideas could help you too. Also, I have a few ideas to help plan for the future holiday seasons! Take a look:
There are other ways you can save for future holidays. Did you know we have a cd that requires a deposit weekly, biweekly or monthly? It's called the Clockwork CD. This helps keep you accountable to your commitment and can be automatic!
The hardest step is the first step. Make a commitment to save and talk to your MutualBanker to get set up for plan that works for you. Saving doesn't have to happen overnight; it can happen $25.00 at a time!
Merry Summer to you!
Last week, we asked our Facebook Fans and you through the poll on our website:
"The average dollar bill is meant to take up to how many folds in each direction before it rips?"
The results:
|Answer choices:
|Facebook Results:
|Website Poll Results:
And the correct answer is:
4000 Folds!
Can you believe that? According to the United States Treasury, you can double fold (first forward, then backward) a bill up to 4000 times before it rips! The reason is because currency paper is 25% linen, making it rip-resistant.
I wonder if that number decreases if the bill has been washed!
MutualMobile is here!
I have been waiting for this day, the day when MutualBank has mobile banking. My phone is so many things to me: my watch, alarm clock, email, newspaper, search engine, navigation, and now banking.
Did you know that there are over 223 million US mobile phone users over the age of 13*? There are times I wonder how any of us lived without our mobile phones, and that we cant survive the day unless our phone is within arms reach. The more I have my MutualMobile APP, the more I wonder what I did without it! At any moment I can see my balance, transfer money, check to see where the closest MutualBank ATM is. Hold on, did I pay my electric bill? Yes, I did, just checked it on MutualMobile!
With my busy lifestyle, I dont always have time to write my transactions down the same day. With MutualMobile I can keep track of the everything clearing my account and not worry about making time to sit down at my computer verifying the transactions and balancing my checkbook. Just the other day, I was waiting on my car to get serviced, pulled out my phone to pay my bills, transfer money, and balanced my checkbook. WOW! How convenient is that?*Statistics from Nielsen 2010 Media Industry Fact Sheet

Luz; Serrat Piè, Carles; Espinal Berenguer, Anna Abstract: This paper reviews some of the main contributions in the area of multivariate survival data and proposes some possible extensions. In particular, we have concentrated our search and study on those papers that are relevant to the situation where two (or more) consecutive variables are followed until a common day of analysis and subject to informative censoring. The paper reviews bivariate nonparametric approaches and extend some of them to the case of two nonconsecutive times. We introduce the notation and construct the likelihood for the general problem of more than two consecutive survival times. We formulate the time dependencies and trends via a Bayesian approach. Finally, three regression models for multivariate survival times are discussed together with the differences among them which will be useful when the main interest is on the effect of covariates on the risk of failure. Description: Document de recerca publicat per la UPC. Departament d'Estadística i Investigació operativa 2014-04-07T14:05:21Z Recommendations to choose the primary endpoint in cardiovascular clinical trials http://hdl.handle.net/2117/21995 Title: Recommendations to choose the primary endpoint in cardiovascular clinical trials Authors: Gómez Melis, Guadalupe; Gómez Mateu, Moisés; Dafni, Urania Abstract: Background – A composite endpoint is often used as the primary endpoint to assess the efficacy of a new treatment in randomized clinical trials (RCT). In cardiovascular trials, the often rare event of the relevant primary endpoint (individual or composite), such as cardiovascular death (CV death), Myocardial Infarction (MI), or both, is combined with a more common secondary endpoint, such as target lesion revascularization, with the aim to increase the statistical power of the study. Methods – Gómez and Lagakos developed statistical methodology to be used at the design stage of a RCT for deciding whether to expand a study relevant primary endpoint e1 to e*, the composite of e1 and a secondary endpoint e2. The method uses the asymptotic relative efficiency of the logrank test for comparing treatment groups based on e1 versus the logrank test based on e*. The method is used to assess, in the cardiovascular research area, the characteristics of the candidate individual endpoints that should govern the choice of using a composite endpoint as the primary endpoint in a clinical trial. Results and conclusions – A set of recommendations is provided based on the reported values of the frequencies of observing each candidate endpoint as well as on the magnitude of the effect of treatment as expressed by the hazard ratio, supported by cardiovascular RCTs published in 2008. 2014-03-11T14:33:24Z Statistics for spatial functional data http://hdl.handle.net/2117/2446 Title: Statistics for spatial functional data Authors: Delicado Useros, Pedro Francisco; Giraldo, Ramón; Comas, Carles; Mateu, Jorge Abstract: Functional Data Analysis is a relatively new branch in Statistics. Experiments where a complete function is observed for each individual give rise to functional data. In this work we focus on the case of functional data presenting spatial dependence. The three classic types of spatial data structures (geostatistical data, point patterns and areal data) can be combined with functional data as it is shown in the examples of each situation provided here. We also review some contributions in the literature on spatial functional data. 2008-12-15T17:04:59Z The role of survival functions in competing risks http://hdl.handle.net/2117/2202 Title: The role of survival functions in competing risks Authors: Porta Bleda, Núria; Gómez Melis, Guadalupe; Calle Rosingana, M. Luz Abstract: Competing risks data usually arises in studies in which the failure of an individual may be classified into one of k (k > 1) mutually exclusive causes of failure. When competing risks are present, there are two main differences with classical survival analysis: (i) survival functions are not mainly used to describe cause-specific failures and, (ii) classical estimation techniques may provide biased results. The main goal of this paper is to review, clarify and present the formulation of a competing risks model and the basic nonparametric estimation methods. We show why the use of survival functions in the competing risks framework may mislead the user, and we illustrate the presented methodologies by developing two examples from real data. The methods presented here can be implemented with several statistical packages, including R, SPSS and SAS: we give some highlights on how to perform a competing risks analysis with these software packages. 2008-08-01T14:33:24Z Competing risks methods http://hdl.handle.net/2117/2201 Title: Competing risks methods Authors: Porta Bleda, Núria; Gómez Melis, Guadalupe; Calle Rosingana, M. Luz; Malats i Riera, Núria Abstract: Competing risks data usually arises in studies in which the failure of an individual may be classified into one of k (k > 1) mutually exclusive causes of failure. When competing risks are present, classical survival analysis techniques may not be appropriate to use. The main goal of this paper is to review the specific methods to deal with competing risks. To this aim, we first focus on how to specify a competing risks model, which is the structure of observed data in this framework, and how components of the model are estimated from a given random sample. In addition, we discuss how to correctly interpret probabilities in the presence of competing risks, and regression models are considered in detail. To conclude, we illustrate the problem with data from a bladder cancer study. 2008-08-01T14:25:34Z

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

July editions of Russian newspapers, as available to the BBC at 2300 gmt
on 4 July.
Clinton visits Eastern Europe
Kommersant (heavyweight liberal daily) www.kommersant.ru - "US Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton visited Ukraine and Poland last weekend. In
Kiev she tested the new authorities' commitment to democracy, saying
that NATO's door is still open for Ukraine. In Krakow Mrs Clinton
finalized the agreement with Poland on deploying elements of the [US]
missile defence system in the country, which will be open for Russian
inspectors... No details were given as to who will inspect the missile
defence facilities in Poland and how. Moscow doesn't know much about it
either. A source in the Russian Foreign Ministry told Kommersant that
inspections have not yet been discussed... "We need to know for what
purposes this type of weapons is planned to be used. We are not a banana
republic and we have the right to know the details," the source said on
condition of anonymity."
[from an article by Vladimir Solovyev and Sergey Sidorenko headlined
"Ukraine is invited to join NATO, and Russia to inspect missile defence
Vremya Novostey (liberal daily) www.vremya.ru - "Vremya Novostey has
learnt that certain leaders of the Georgian opposition are unhappy with
Hillary Clinton because among opposition leaders she chose to talk only
to former UN ambassador Irakli Alasania and leader of the parliamentary
minority Giorgi Targamadze. The Free Democratic and Christian Democratic
movements, which they represent, took part in the local elections in
Georgia in May. "The Americans will now give credit to them for
communicating with the authorities correctly," says Georgian political
analyst Giorgi Khukhashvili. In his opinion, there have been mistakes in
the US policy towards the processes that are taking place in Georgia
'which have prompted' a certain part of the political elite and society
to start talking to Moscow."
[from an article by Mikhail Vignanskiy titled "Georgian opposition
unhappy with Clinton"]
Izvestiya (pro-Kremlin daily) www.izvestia.ru - "'NATO's door remains
open for Ukraine,' Mrs Clinton said in Kiev. However, while it was
Ukraine's former President Viktor Yushchenko's dearest wish that the
country should join NATO, Ukraine has different priorities now. In the
run up to Clinton's visit, the Verkhovna Rada [parliament] made a
landmark decision: it approved the new version of the law on the
country's domestic and foreign policy, which no longer mentions the
intention to join NATO.
"Times are changing, and during her visit the US Secretary of State
seems to be trying to understand what Eastern Europe and post-Soviet
states think about the 'reset' between Washington and Moscow."
[from an article by Vasiliy Voropayev headlined "Hillary is inviting
Ukraine to join NATO"]
Customs Union
Vedomosti (business daily published jointly with WSJ & FT)
www.vedomosti.ru - "[Belarusian President Alyaksandr] Lukashenka has
yielded to all Moscow's demands: he has ratified the Customs Code, even
though he failed to get any concessions on oil duties, and agreed to the
price of gas demanded by Russia... Whatever Lukashenka is saying about
his strong 'new allies' - those in Tehran, Caracas and Beijing - no-one
except Russia is willing to subsidize the Belarusian economy on a
permanent basis. Minsk needs Russian gas more than Moscow needs
Belarusian transit: Russia could live without the pipeline but Belarus
could not. Moscow can afford to create a customs union on a bilateral
basis, but Minsk won't risk giving up the last integration project in
the former USSR."
[from an article by Maksim Glikin titled "Man of the week: Alyaksandr
Ukraine not to backtrack on EU gas agreement
Kommersant (heavyweight liberal daily) www.kommersant.ru - "The change
of power in Ukraine has not led to the country going back on its
agreements with the European Union concerning the liberalization of the
gas market. On Friday the Verkhovna Rada, which is controlled by
[Ukrainian President Viktor] Yanukovych, passed the bill aimed at
implementing the Ukraine-EU declaration, which was signed last year by
[former President] Viktor Yushchenko and [former Prime Minister Yuliya]
Tymoshenko and which provoked a strong negative reaction in Moscow...
The new law may interfere with Russia's plans to merge the two
countries' gas companies [Gazprom and Naftohaz Ukrayiny]. However, a
source in Ukraine's Fuel and Energy Ministry says that the fact that the
bill has been approved by parliament in the first reading is a pure
formality. According to him, in this way Ukraine is simply trying to get
money from the European Union..."
[from an article by Olga Mordyushenko headlined "Ukraine declares
liberalization bypassing Russia"]
Kyrgyzstan politics
Kommersant (heavyweight liberal daily) www.kommersant.ru - "Last weekend
Roza Otunbayeva was sworn in as the president of Kyrgyzstan. In the next
few days her colleagues in the interim government will leave their posts
and start fighting fiercely against each other as part of the election
campaign. Analysts believe that Moscow's support will become one of the
key factors for the potential candidates for the post of Kyrgyz
[from an article by Aleksandr Gabuyev and Kabay Karabekov entitled
"Interim government is running out of time"]
Nezavisimaya Gazeta (heavyweight daily) www.ng.ru - "Not everyone in the
republic believes that the change of government will immediately solve
the people's problems. However, the people themselves are hoping that
changes will take place... Given that for certain categories of Kyrgyz
citizens revolutions are becoming almost the only way to earn money (it
is no secret that the rioters and militants were getting paid for their
participation in the events in Osh and Bishkek), it cannot be ruled out
that the same thing will happen again. Thus, Otunbayeva's transitional
period may become even shorter if her promises are not followed by real
[from an article by Svetlana Gamova headlined "Otunbayeva's finest
Aftermath of spy scandal
Vremya Novostey (liberal daily) www.vremya.ru - "Moscow won't respond to
the provocation from the US intelligence services by making a
'symmetrical response' in connection with the spy scandal that erupted
last week. [Russian President] Dmitriy Medvedev made it very clear
yesterday, when he was congratulating Barack Obama on Independence
Day... At the same time, observers note that during the [Russian] head
of state's recent visit to Washington, the presidents avoided openly
demonstrating their friendly relationship and stopped calling each other
Dmitriy and Barack in public...
"The Kremlin clearly prefers to think that the US president is not
directly involved in the scandal. Moscow even doubts the comment made by
the White House press secretary that Mr Obama had been informed about
the forthcoming arrests before his talks with Mr Medvedev... Most
likely, both presidents would prefer not to have anything to do with the
scandal, which has revealed the suspicious activities of the
intelligence services in both countries."
[from an article by Nikolay Snezhkov and Andrey Denisov headlined
"Medvedev avoids falling into trap"]
China becomes Russia's competitor in aviation industry
Kommersant (heavyweight liberal daily) www.kommersant.ru -
"Representatives of the Russian aviation industry have to admit that
they have a new competitor in the global arms market - China. The head
of the MiG and Sukhoi aircraft manufacturers, Mikhail Pogosyan, has
spoken against the signing of a new large contract to supply Russian
RD-93 aircraft engines that are used in FC-1 fighter jets produced by
China and Pakistan... Pogosyan believes that the FC-1 is a direct
competitor of Russian MiG-29 fighters... According to Kommersant's
sources in the defence industry, MiG-29 and FC-1 fighter jets have been
competing on the Egyptian market... Russia is currently negotiating a
contract to supply a large number of MiG-29 fighters to this country...
At the same time, the Egyptian side has started negotiations with the
producers of the FC-1."

manufacturers are turning off their Chinese competitors' engines "]

- To create shorter flips wrap sections around the in-styler and slightly close therefore allowing the cylinder rotation to change the structure of your hair to an amazing curl. Open the in-styler and drop the curl. It really looks hot and stylish! It is that easy.
- Take the barrel and bring it to top of roots. Take a strand of hair and roll it around the barrel. Hold for 30 seconds. Gives beautiful, easy, bouncy curls.
- Although the in-styler will not press and bake hair of all different textures, one caution warning for all techniques is to make sure you curl the hair away from your face. The heat from the radiation can cause the skin to become over heated or irritated.
