Martin Lindstrom | December 31, 2002 | Comments
You're sold on the idea that your brand needs a community. But where do you start?
For the last couple of weeks I've been looking at the phenomenon of brand communities -- audiences of brand devotees who spontaneously and voluntarily publicize their dedication to their favorite brands. This week, let's consider -- step by step -- how you might create a brand community.
First, spend some time with members of your audience, both when they're using your brand on their own and when they're discussing it in a group. A good place to do this is on an online discussion board. What topics tend to arise? Which of these generate interest and energy?
Then, observe individuals. Which of your consumers would you say exhibited the strongest views and the best ability to discuss your brand? This person will be the keystone in your brand community. You see, the ingredients for a brand community include more than just a good strong brand and a product category that can inspire group interest. You need to have a group leader as well. The success of any community lies in its leader, the individual who drives opinion and debate and who, in so doing, generates passion.
It's possible to create brand communities without having detected that leader, but in 80 percent of cases it's the leading voice that makes a brand community vibrant. Without this focus, a brand community will be less effectual. Like real-world communities -- sports teams, gangs, church groups -- one or two leaders are essential for motivation. The leaders set the agenda.
I'm sure you realize you won't create a brand community overnight. It could take years before you find the right person to lead your brand into the brand-community arena. Marketing directors might love their products, but that love is only expressed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The love of a brand community operates 24/7.
From this point, everything you've learned about marketing is sidelined. Normally any marketer would work to secure control of a brand the whole way through, from the first strategy planning session to a campaign's execution. Forget it. Running brand communities means letting go. Your involvement would be interference.
Brand communities evolve from the energies of willing individuals who so strongly favor a brand they want to share the good news with others. The evangelical impulse does not welcome direction! So, sometimes there's trouble in the brand community. At times, there'll be discussions that don't cohere with your brand platform. In short, your consumers will take over, and you will have given them full license to represent your brand.
Many brand builders still think good brand building is a matter of total brand control. But that's not correct. We already know this from what we see in the press. A movie's box-office success often depends on its reviews. Sure, the first couple of columns might be positive because they were planted. But the free press gets the last word. If the press embraces the film, it's a winner. If not, it can be a financial fiasco.
If we measure the risk factors in running a PR campaign, expressing them as a score from 1 to 10, with 10 signifying greatest risk, launching a brand community would have to come in at about 8. Along with this substantial risk goes substantial reward, if it succeeds. And it costs substantially less than any other marketing activity.
Obviously, research is the alpha and omega of your brand community. With the help of research you can go about picking the right leader, supporting that leader without interfering, being a good partner, supplying ideas, materials, data, and even technology (but not money) to kick the brand community off. Good research could result in a brand community that runs year after year without any support from your company at all.
Pokémon still has more than 4,000 communities around the world. Most computer games can claim from 100 up to 15,000 brand communities. And in most cases, this huge interest was kicked off by just a couple of communities, motivated by the brands themselves but eventually attracting an audience of their own.
So, are brand communities going to last? I'd answer that with another question: Is PR going to last? Of course! Over time, marketing departments are going to learn to put more at risk. Brand building is no longer a closed experiment in which everything is predictable. Increasingly, brand building will become a matter of partnering with consumers and letting them do the work. This is truly interactive brand building. These are brands depending 100 percent on their consumers spreading the news, good as well as bad, and, in the end, creating brand perception.
Are you ready to create your brand community? Please don't answer now. Think about it, but don't reject the idea. It's most likely 40 percent of the world's leading brands will be represented by brand communities in the future. The question is whether your brand will be among these. Watch out for it: Some day some brands will win consumer attention 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when marketing departments are closed for the day.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will preside over a same-sex wedding on Saturday in what is believed to be a first for a member of the Supreme Court. Ms. Justice Ginsburg will officiate at the marriage of Michael M. Kaiser, president of the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts, and John Roberts, an economist at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Ms. Justice Ginsburg agreed to officiate after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in June that struck down the Defence of Marriage Act, which the majority said stigmatised same-sex unions. She voted with the majority in the five-to-4 decision.

Our room wasn't ready at check in time and there weren't enough places to sit in the lobby. Every time the front door was opened, it was freezing cold in the lobby. Everything else was exceptional.
Excellent location.
Tiny, poorly laid out bathroom. No real lobby area to sit or hang in. Door keys often failed to work and had to be reset. Terrible value for the price.

Everything. Staff went above and beyond to suggest places to see and eat and lots of help with transportation
Nothing comes to mind maybe screened windows so they can be opened without insects getting in
Our stay was fantastic. The room with kitchenette was perfect. We went into the Wholefood Market next door and stocked up on some essentials and best of all, we could make tea whenever we wanted to! The room was excellent except I found the bed a little too soft for my back - but my wife didn't mind it!

Service, it was really very good.

The location,friendly personnel and service.Wil stay again
Mr Trump and his staff understand customer service, full stop. It's tough to travel with an infant and his hotel made it easy. We weren't nickle and dimed for basic and essentisl things such as a crib or paying extra for my mom as a guest to stay with us to help babysit. There was a full kitchen, which is critical with an infant. More hotels in NY should follow his lead. They are missing out on a whole population of clientele.

Something's wrong with spud salad fundraiser
Sunday, July 20, 2014
I make one heck of a potato salad.
Zack is a capitalist, so he marketed his idea. He posted a picture of potato salad that he must have found on the Internet somewhere. He said he was going to make some, but didn't offer a concrete business plan or a culinary r�sum� to convince people he knew what he was doing. In fact, he told the truth. He hadn't the foggiest idea what kind of potato salad he would make since it was the first time he had attempted it. He asked folks to give him $10 so he could make the salad.
Some of the publicity must have made investors skittish. By end of last week, Brown's pledges had dwindled to a mere $43,984. This week, his Kickstarter total had climbed back to $50,447 with 6,110 investors. And his investment campaign still has weeks to go with an end date of Aug. 2. Who knows how much money he could raise by then?
It's all pretty ridiculous — thousands of people donating money to a young man with no plan and no experience just because he promised to make potato salad.
Still, I've been thinking. I make one heck of a carrot cake. If you give me $10, I'll make one cake. If we reach $100 in pledges, I'll send you a paper hat shaped like a carrot. If I get $1,000, I'll make up a song about carrot cake and sing it on my carrot cake website. For $2,000, I'll make my carrot cake for your birthday for the rest of your life! |

I appreciate your interest, here is the case # Banana Hobby Customer Support Case # 00032726 I stopped communications after the response I got so the case is probably closed, but lets see what happens. |

Thank you for providing me with your case number. I had looked over the photos that you had submitted and I do apologize for the misinformation that you had received. To my understanding, that would not be the down thrust. The down thrust is created from how the motor, as a whole, was installed into the aircraft. What I can see here is that the manufacturer had put the motor together incorrectly. When installing the shaft, it was slightly crooked, thus, giving the end result of the whole shaft, cover, and the motor being the way it is. I did double check with our Parts Department to see if there was a way that I can help you obtain a replacement motor, but unfortunately, it is unavailable. Therefore, at this time, what I can do is consult with the Head Technician to see if any other motor(s) that we may be carrying is compatible with the P-40 that you have in your possession. Regretfully, he's currently out of the office today, but he should be available tomorrow. Rest assured that I will get in touch with you after consulting with the Head Technician tomorrow. Best Regards, Nancy P. |

Quicksand is a 1950 film noir starring Mickey Rooney and Peter Lorre in a story about a garage mechanic's descent into crime. The film has been described as "film noir in a teacup... a pretty nifty little picture" in which Rooney "cast himself against his Andy Hardy goody goody image."[1]
Plot and cast[edit]
Young auto mechanic Dan Brady (Mickey Rooney) takes $20 from a cash register at work to go on a date with blonde femme fatale Vera Novak (Jeanne Cagney). Brady intends to put the money back before it is missed, but the garage's bookkeeper shows up earlier than scheduled. As Brady scrambles to cover evidence of his petty theft, he fast finds himself drawn into an ever worsening "quicksand" of crime, each of his misdeeds more serious than the last.
His descent is sped along by his heartless and morally lacking boss Oren Mackay (Art Smith), and the seedy owner of a penny arcade on Santa Monica Pier, Nick Dramoshag (Peter Lorre). Brady and Vera split when Vera purchases a mink coat with money Brady has stolen. Brady's still-loyal but unappreciated former girlfriend Helen (Barbara Bates) then reenters the scene and tries to woo him back. Later fleeing what he believes will be a murder charge, Brady carjacks a sedan which happens to be driven by a sympathetic lawyer (Taylor Holmes).
By movie's end Brady is back with his faithful girlfriend, who promises to wait for him while he spends the next few years of his life in prison. Cast includes Jimmie Dodd, Wally Cassell, and Minerva Urecal. A young Jack Elam, later widely noted as a character actor in Westerns, appears in an uncredited speaking role.
Rooney co-financed Quicksand with Peter Lorre but their shares of the profits were reportedly left unpaid by a third partner.[2] Most of the film was shot on location in Santa Monica, California, with exterior scenes at the old Santa Monica Pier. Swing era bandleader Red Nichols and His Five Pennies are seen and heard in a nightclub scene.
Critical response[edit]
Bruce Eder of Allmovie wrote Rooney "...gives what many consider to be the best performance of his career" and characterized Quicksand as "one of the more fascinating social documents of its era."[2] Fifty years after the film's first theatrical release DVD Savant noted, "the quasi-downbeat ending of Quicksand doesn't simply let him off the hook, [which] makes for an unusually mature ending."[1]
Film critic Dennis Schwartz also liked the film, especially the work of actor Peter Lorre. He wrote, "Irving Pichel (Santa Fe/Martin Luther/They Won't Believe Me) helms in a workmanlike manner this fast-paced, suspenseful but minor film noir. It's written by Robert Smith. The main reason it's worth watching is to catch a sleazy Peter Lorre in action ... With Rooney going against type from his usual clean-cut Andy Hardy roles, the date-gone-wrong film bombed at the box office. It has since become a cult favorite among noir fans."[3]
Product placement[edit]
A display box of Bit-O-Honey candy shown by a cash register; Mackay's car lot where the movie takes place is overlooked by a Bekins building prominently advertising the Bekins moving company; Studebaker cars and trucks parked fill the lot; Dan's convertible is a Chevrolet; The booth where Dan and Vera kiss is a 25¢ Photomatic booth; A sailor asking Nick for change wears a US Navy uniform; The Cunocar van driven by the bookkeeper clearly displays the Cunocar Accounting Service logo in several scenes; Dan first tries to get the $20 from an EZ Money check cashing outlet; The bar Dan passes advertises Acme Beer; A stack of Coca Cola crates sit behind Shorty at Bill's place; Arden Ice Cream is sold at the pier (today's Gelson's Markets); The police officer's uniform clearly displays a Santa Monica Police patch; The jeweler sells Dan a Helbros watch, along with the Mackay Garage's wall clock advertising Helbros Watches soon after the film begins are early examples of product placement.[4] Interestingly, Helbros produced the first electric Mickey Mouse watch around two decades later (up to then all were wind-up watches). Jimmy Dodd (who plays Buzz) was the original Head Mouseketeer of television's Mickey Mouse Club around two years later.

Malabon, officially the City of Malabon (Filipino: Lungsod ng Malabon), is one of the cities and municipalities that make up Metro Manila in the Philippines. Located just north of Manila, the city has a population of 353,337 as of 2010.[1] It is primarily a residential and industrial town and is one of the most densely populated cities in the metropolis. It has a total land area of 19.714 square kilometers.
Malabon is part of the sub-region of Metro Manila informally called CAMANAVA, which consists of CAloocan, MAlabon, NAvotas, and VAlenzuela cities. Caloocan lies to the south and east, Navotas to the west, and Valenzuela to the north. Malabon also borders the town of Obando in the province of Bulacan to the northwest.
Malabon, per legend, came from the words maraming labong which means "plenty of labong", the edible bamboo shoots. Originally called the town of Tambobong, Malabon was founded as a "Visita" of Tondo by the Augustinian friars on May 21, 1599 and remained under the administrative jurisdiction of the province of Tondo from 1627 to 1688.
The newspaper La Independencia was first printed in Malabon's Asilo de Huérfanos, where orphaned children due to a plague in 1882 were housed.[2][3]
Malabon was officially made a municipality of the newly created province of Rizal on June 11, 1901 by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 137.[4] When Act No. 942 was promulgated, Malabon was merged with Navotas under a new government.[5] On January 16, 1906, Act No. 1441 separated Malabon from Navotas into two distinct municipalities of the Rizal province. The first Mayor of Malabon was Vicente Villongco.
For 70 years, Malabon was a municipality of Rizal, until November 7, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, when Malabon became a part of Metropolitan Manila or the National Capital Region. Malabon became a city on April 21, 2001, under Republic Act No. 9019 when Malabon was 407 years old.
Former Mayor Tito Oreta, who died in office in 2012, was credited with building some of Malabon's most important modern infrastructure projects, including the new eleven-story Malabon City Hall, the Oreta Sports Complex Building and a Government Center Annex.[6]
On April 21, 2008, Malabon City's newly constructed 11-storey city hall building along F. Sevilla Blvd. in Barangay San Agustin, was inaugurated by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Malabon's 7th City anniversary. It was dubbed as a "potential business center of the city," a one-stop shop for government transactions, due to its state-of-the-art facilities such as 3 high-speed elevators and the new city hall building and its offices' "digital system."[7][8]
The Sangguniang Kabataan Federation which leaded by Von Paulo Oreta III (grandson of mayor Tito Oreta) developed system of the politics became the key to acceleration of the development of cities with the help the other chairman.
The city's representative to National Sangguniang Kabataan Federation of the Philippines is Dan Angelo K. Miranda of Navotas, whereby the city has won the awards of "BEST IMPLEMENTING RULE AND OBJECTION OF THE YEAR".
Before the present-day Malabon, the town was originally composed of sitios (barangay) and others were further divided into two or more purok (zone).
Malabon City is now divided into 21 barangays.

By now it's clearly apparent that NEON is a gigantic trend for Spring — seen everywhere from Target to Kate Spade. And sure neon yellow skinnies and hot pink dresses look good on a blog, but you just might get cold feet when it comes time to commit. It's just so…neon.
Well the easiest way to get in on the fun trend (that's much more sophisticated and chic than it's '80s predecessor) is with accessories. Because if there's one thing we've learned about neon, it's that a little goes a long way.
Here are 20 neon accessories that will add a little vibrancy to your Spring wardrobe:

Also, dev sabotages a game design contest for women, calling TFYC transphobic and exploitative, and creates her own "contest" with no date nor location defined, where she endlessly asks for donations to fund it, going all straight to her bank account.
Dev and her PR manager doxx TFYC while making the wild accusations, despite their efforts to ask her what was wrong with their contest; TFYC receives death threats. Dev denies having any involvement with her PR manager, and blames her for doxxing.
Dev then tries to bribe TFYC to not mention what she has been doing.
Few people would consider this behavior ethical or moral. But as I said, her character is of no concern to us; but it triggered chain of events that left a lot of people shocked; it's the context to explain what matters.
The timeline is the single most important piece of information of this whole ordeal.
You don't even have to read too far into it to see what's really going on - when people started calling out on ZQ's lack of ethics and morals, she called in favors to shape the story so she appears to be a victim instead of a sociopath, and the whole thing snowballed into the shitstorm most people saw as "gamergate": the flood of articles and opinion pieces pushed by ZQ's friends trying to convince the uninformed they are fighting against trolls that are oppressing women, when in fact people are condemning journalistic corruption and malpractice.
The question is, who will denounce corrupt journalists? Not the journalist themselves, as it turned out.
It didn't help that a bunch of SJW jumped in to "fight for women's rights" without having a clue as to what was going on (other than ZQ's side of the story), and it became self-sustaining; their quixotic efforts were criticized by the community, and they pushed back, claiming that denying "gamergate = misogyny" validates their fight against misogyny. At this point their discourse is not even about the original issues, it's about how they are themselves becoming victims of criticism just because they are fighting for "the right cause". They keep tilting at windmills.
Sounds like they replace the barcode to redirect the payment to an account they own, so they are really stealing the whole amount. Funny thing is, after you enter the code (by scanning or typing) you get a confirmation screen (either on the ATM or on the online system) with the name of the receiving entity; it's hard to imagine the bank would allow somebody to create an account with a name that looks like an utility company or something like that.
I agree, the average amount seems way too high; things at that range are usually paid with credit cards, cheques, or direct transfers between bank accounts. I'm really curious to find out what kinds of transactions average at 100 times the typical boleto value. Was every victim buying a 65" 3D 4k LED TV over the internet?
From TFA:
In Brazil, when banking customers access their online banking site for the first time, they are often asked to install a security plugin. [,,,] However, the Boleto malware [,,,] searches for specific versions of client side security plug-ins detects their shared libraries and patches them in real-time to dodge security.
I've closed my account in 3 different banks for pulling this bullshit. So it turned out the "security plugin" is full of security holes; worse than that, they are educating their users that they need to install/update software every time they access their bank online, so most accept plugin installation confirmations right away.
The fact that it attacks boletos is a minor detail, it's a traceable and reversible money transfer once suspicious activity is identified.
Nintendo's marketing after the Wii was not effective.
I agree with this statement, but for a different reason. I have a Wii U and a 3DS, and none of the competitors'. Google knows that very well due to searches and through the websites I visit. Yet, I only see ads for the other systems, and PC games (my gaming laptop is more than 3 years old, so every "recent" game has to be on lowest settings to be playable... so I don't play on it).
Maybe they are too full of themselves and think they don't need to make the effort? Maybe they don't really understand how to use the internet? My theory is that they didn't learn how to grow. The industry grew, the competitors came from companies that already knew how to grow, yet Nintendo still works centralizing everying in Kyoto with little human resources to manage a global market. Their strategy of disruption from the DS/Wii era went tot heir heads, now they think they can do it again on a whim (like their new "Quality of Life" strategy... heck, let me sync my Fit Meter with my phone or my 3DS, and make my data available on the web) whenever they get cornered.
There are actually 3 categories:
Diagnosing UB can be too demanding from the implementation, so the standard doesn't even require it. How would you diagnose incorrect usage of realloc? Add run-time checks? Write a special rule in the compiler so it knows about realloc? Extend the language with metadata? What if realloc is hidden behind a user-defined function? At some point you have to stop, otherwise you could even solve the halting problem.
Good troll, sir. Try removing everything except
The gpuocelot project has been able to run CUDA in non-NVIDIA hardware for some time now, including x86 CPUs and AMD GPUs.
Too bad the CUDA compiler often segfaults on ordinary C++ libraries even when they are host-only (in which case nvcc is supposed to just forward it to GCC). Hopefully the LLVM-based compiler for OpenCL 2.0 won't be as buggy.

What's Behind Western Union's Steep Slump?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Western Union (WU - Get Report) shares fell a steep 12.8% on Wednesday morning after reporting an as-expected profitability decline.
For the third quarter, the money-transfer company reported earnings of 39 cents a share, beating Wall Street expectations of 35 cents a share. Revenue of $1.4 billion was broadly in line with expectations.
This quarter's results, though expected, reflect a significant loss in profitability year over year. Net income plummeted 20% to $214.4 million from $269.5 million in the year-ago quarter, while earnings per share dropped 13%. Sequentially, net income and earnings each gained 8% since the second quarter.
The Englewood, Colo.-based company continues to suffer from increasing compliance expenses in Europe and mobile-focused competitors such as MoneyGram International (MGI) and Xoom Corp (XOOM). (XOOM)
Increasingly strict regulations, in particular, weighed heavily on forecasts for a sluggish 2014. As it implements anti-fraud and laundering measures, Western Union expects compliance-related expenses to increase to around 3.5% to 4.5% of full-year revenue in 2014 from 2.5% in 2013. "Due to recent change in both the expected incremental compliance expenses as well as the potential business impact from new compliance procedures, we do not expect growth in operating profit in 2014 at this time," said CEO Hikmet Ersek in a conference call. TheStreet Ratings team rates Western Union Co as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about its recommendation: "We rate Western Union Co (WU) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its good cash flow from operations, increase in stock price during the past year, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: WU Ratings Report

Tax Proposal Could Help Small Business, Economy
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ A notable piece of small business news on Capitol Hill this year isn't about a bill â¿¿ it's about a tax proposal that could lift some of the uncertainty owners have been complaining about.
Under a proposal announced last week by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., a popular tax deduction for equipment purchases would become permanent and be set at $250,000, aside from annual adjustments for inflation. Known as the Section 179 deduction, it's scheduled to drop to $25,000 next year after having been at $500,000 from 2010 through 2013.
If the proposal becomes law, it could give owners some predictability â¿¿ something they've been clamoring for given the large list of other uncertainties they've been sacked with such as health care, minimum wage and the economy. The deduction has fluctuated in recent years and has made it difficult for small businesses to plan.
Not knowing what the deduction will be forces business owners to play a sort of roulette â¿¿ do they buy a drill press or an SUV before the end of the year and take advantage of the current deduction, or wait to see what the new year brings? There are ramifications for the broader economy that go beyond the boost from spending on equipment. If small business owners have a better idea of how much money they might save on their taxes, they might feel more secure and then expand and hire. Small businesses account for more than 99 percent of U.S. companies, and they employ about half the country's work force, or about 60 million people. One of the greatest sources of uncertainty about the deduction is the fact that Congress has been erratic in setting the amount of the deduction and sometimes has made changes retroactively. In January, Congress gave final approval to a bill that boosted the 2013 deduction to $500,000 from a planned $25,000 â¿¿ but many owners had already made purchases in 2012 expecting a smaller deduction in the coming year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Edgetite paver spikes are designed to hold paving bricks in place better.
the toolbox
Spikes keep pavers tight
Contractor Jeff Goodman has built what he says is a better paver edging spike.
Goodman, who installs landscaping and hardscaping such as walks and patios, got tired of dealing with brick pavers that separated because the edging spikes moved in the ground. So he designed one with an angled tip that stays in place better.
The tip causes the Edgetite spike to be driven into the compacted base at an angle, so the head of the spike pushes against the edging and keeps the bricks in place. Freezing and thawing of the ground only forces the spike tighter against the edging rather than pushing it away.
The spikes can be ordered from suppliers listed at the Orland Park, Ill., company's website: www.edgetite.com. One dealer, MCP Supply, sells them for $65 a box plus $30 shipping and also offers volume pricing.
Controlling poison ivy
Q: What is the best thing I can buy to kill poison ivy?
A: Goats are sometimes used to control poison ivy and oak because they'll eat the plants without suffering any ill effects. But a goat isn't a practical solution for many people.
Unfortunately, there's no product you can spray on poison ivy to make it go away quickly and easily. It's a tough plant to eradicate.
The Ohio State University fact sheet on Poison Ivy Identification and Control says that for a small infestation, you can pull or dig the vines by hand. Be careful to cover your skin, wash your clothing and gloves immediately afterward and rinse the washing machine thoroughly after the clothes have been cleaned. If you're prone to bad reactions from poison ivy, it's best to avoid this.
The fact sheet says you can also use glyphosate or triclopyr to control poison ivy, but either of those herbicides needs to be applied repeatedly. Glyphosate is found in products such as Roundup. Triclopyr is found in products including Ortho Brush-B-Gon Poison Ivy Killer.
You can apply the herbicide to the leaves or cut the vine and apply it to the cut stems. If you use glyphosate, be careful not to let it touch any part of other plants, because it can kill whatever it touches.
Keep applying the herbicide to new shoots that emerge from the base of the old plant.
Never burn poison ivy or poison oak. Breathing in the smoke can cause a severe, even deadly, allergic reaction.

Altera's process technology selection is a critical component of the company's tailored approach. The process technology Altera selects defines the capabilities of each new product family and allows Altera to optimize its devices for specific application requirements. Due to the diverse range of applications that FPGAs serve, it is unrealistic to expect that a portfolio based on a single process technology is capable of efficiently meeting the low-power, low-cost requirements of today's industrial automation systems, while at the same time fulfilling the demanding performance requirements of high-end networking equipment.
Extending Altera's Tailored Approach to Process Technology Selection
Within its next-generation product portfolio, Altera significantly expands its tailored approach by combining multiple process technologies/nodes from multiple foundries. Mixing and matching process technologies in its next-generation portfolio allows Altera to create the most differentiated products in the industry and enables customers to achieve a measureable advantage in their end application.
Stratix® 10 FPGAs and SoCs leverage Intel's 14 nm Tri-Gate transistor technology (commonly referred to as FinFET). These devices serve the high-performance end of Altera's next-generation product portfolio targeted at applications in wireline networking, cloud computing, radar signal processing, software-defined data center and other high-bandwidth applications. The combination of the 14 nm Tri-Gate process and a new HyperFlexTM high-performance architecture enable Stratix 10 devices to operate at 2X higher core performance compared to current high-end FPGAs.
Arria® 10 FPGAs and SoCs leverage TSMC's 20 nm system-on-a-chip (20SoC) process to enable the development of high-performance applications. Arria 10 devices deliver the highest performance at 20 nm offering a one speed-grade performance advantage over competing devices. Arria 10 FPGAs and SoCs are up to 40 percent lower power than previous generation FPGAs and SoCs and feature the industry's only hard floating-point digital signal processing (DSP) blocks with speeds up to 1.5 TeraFLOPs. Arria 10 SoCs are also the industry's only 20 nm FPGA that integrates a hardened ARM® processor system.
MAX® 10 FPGAs are based on 55 nm embedded flash process technology from TSMC. MAX 10 FPGAs revolutionize non-volatile integration by combining on a single die on-chip flash memory (dual-configuration flash and user flash), analog-to-digital converters (ADC), DSP blocks, memory interfaces, integrated voltage regulator, Nios® II embedded processor support and up to 50K logic elements.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Cheri Caffaro (born April 29, 1945) is an American actress who appeared mainly in low-budget exploitation films in the 1970s.[1]
In the early 1970s, she was directed by then-husband and Manhattan theatre owner Don Schain in a series of soft-core "sexploitation" action films, most notably the "Ginger" series, consisting of Ginger, The Abductors, and Girls Are For Loving. Caffaro played Ginger McAlister, a tough and resourceful bed-hopping private-eye and spy. Her missions involved busting up seedy wrongdoers involved in drugs, prostitution, and white slavery. Her character also spends an inordinate amount of time tied up and/or raped.
She also appeared in A Place Called Today and Too Hot To Handle (both also directed by Schain). She was quickly stereotyped, became disenchanted with the direction her film career had taken and, like Bettie Page before her, disappeared from the public eye.
She has also been credited with an appearance on the TV show Baretta, and as a writer and producer of the 1980s sex comedy H.O.T.S. Her last screen credit is noted as a character voice in an episode of the 1997 animated series Extreme Ghostbusters.
