The Game-Changing Nature of Beacons
Bluetooth Low Energy (or Blutooth Smart) beacons have the potential for enormous influence on digital services. Utlilizing micro-location triggers to deliver new experiences and interactions, they will likely trigger the emergence of a new paradigm of applications and digital services for various industries.
Businesses will be able to interact with their users across iOS and Android devices in more meaningful ways, and offer contextually rich experiences and services. Beacons have the potential to bring transformative innovation to industries like retail, marketing, advertising, healthcare, banking, and transport, to name but a few.
For end users, this will bring multiple benefits, as services will evolve to become more contextually intelligent and powerful and provide an enhanced user experience. It will also eliminate many traditional problems that we face when designing digital services in today's environment. For example, "I forgot to bookmark that Italian place where I ate last week?"—beacon technologies can automatically check you in, or prompt you to do so, if you have stayed in one place for more than 10 mins, and this type of interaction is just the tip of an iceberg.
What are Beacons?
Beacons are wireless devices utilizing Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE- Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol to broadcast tiny radio signals around them, allowing Bluetooth 4.0 enabled devices to "talk" to them within proximity of three inches to 150 feet.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE or Bluetooth 4.0) is the next generation of Bluetooth, and has a negligible impact on your device's battery life. This means that BLE can be turned on pretty much all the time without draining your power. BLE is on the edge of mass adoption, and many technology and product companies have already started adopting this new Bluetooth standard including, Apple, Google, Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike+ Fuelband, and Basis Band.
Evolution of real-word operating system
The most revolutionary aspect of beacons is that they can create real-word operating systems: a mesh of devices, smart objects, and beacons with the ability to talk to each other with contextual intelligence. This real-world operating system with connected objects communicating can capture huge amounts of data about users and our actions while also putting that data into context.
Beacons can precisely capture our proximity and tell us how much time we spent in our office, at our desk, attending meetings, at a bus stop, or in a gym. It can even tell you with precision how much time you spent with your significant other last month, as your smartphone will be able to detect your proximity to that person via location information.
If we harness the power of proximity detection and objects' ability to communicate, there is no limit on how the world can be transformed. Beacons will open-up endless possibilities for innovative and transformative experiences. Below are few illustrative scenarios of what you can expect to see much sooner than you think.
The retail experience is set to dramatically change with BLE enabled beacons. Big retailers like Macy's and Apple are already testing beacons in their flagship stores to create immersive retail experiences for the users. Apple's recently launched iBeacon pushes product info and recommendations when you are browsing products in a brick and mortar Apple store. Now that Apple has formalized the iBeacon Bluetooth spec, wider adoption is around the corner.
This technology can transform the way we shop. Imagine being empowered with all of the online shopping tools in your local retail store. For example:
Browse and search: As you step into a retail store, a beacon enabled app can immediately prompt you with a store catalog that will allow you to quickly browse and search all available products in that specific store. This will help you quickly spot what you're looking for without having to search the aisles of a big store.
The most revolutionary aspect of beacons is that they can create real-word operating systems
In-store navigation: Once you have found the product you are looking for, or if you already have a shopping list created, the app can help you map those items and navigate you to it's exact location within the store.

Product details: Imagine you are shopping for a table at IKEA; simply by being within close proximity of the table it will prompt you with all of the product details (e.g. colors, product name, delivery time, price, discounts, loyalty points, interior design inspiration, and suggested accompanying products).
Proximity marketing and recommendations: Based on your retail profile, past purchases and product interests based on what you have liked or shared on social media platforms. Beacon can take all of this into account and provide contextually intelligent recommendations. For example: "The backpack you pinned on Pinterest is available with 15% discount in this store."
Contactless payments: This will allow customers to purchase and walk out of the store by simply approving the payment in an app, and the transaction will automatically be completed. PayPal is already pushing for such contact-less payments with PayPal Beacon. This will soon become a norm in all retail stores.
Your experience in museums or similar inspirational or cultural spaces will be dramatically transformed. Beacons will offer a rich-experience that will allow you to not only understand about the art in front of you, but beyond. Imagine you are looking at a painting and iBeacon prompts you with information about the painting and the artist in rich media (text, audio, and video) including works done in a similar style and artists with similar style. The possibilities are limitless.
In addition, you'll be able to leave comments and like the painting, thereby adding digital content to the physical world that is tied to that painting or location. People in that space will be able to see this digital feedback, thereby bringing virtual interactions and experiences and integrating them into the physical world.
Public Transport
With beacons you'll be able to enter a bus and sit down without worrying about taking a ticket. As soon as you reach your destination, you just walk off the bus, with your app recognizing your boarding and disembarking location. With this information the beacon-enabled app will auto deduct the money and give you a notification. For example, "San Jose to San Francisco: $5. Thanks for traveling with us, see you soon."
Imagine all the clunky ATMs that could be transformed into simple and sleek beacon money dispensers. As you come in the proximity of a Beacon-enabled ATM, your smart phone prompts you with an app that offers you an interface where you can input the amount of cash you want to withdraw. Simply select "Cash Withdrawal," identify the amount, and collect the money from the ATM.
There is no doubt that Bluetooth Low Energy enabled sensors will open up millions of possibilities for developers and designers to create truly innovate experiences and services. The key to success will always be to think of users and their needs, and how to tailor content and experiences for a specific location. In the age of beacons, random, impersonal, and contextually irrelevant content and services will become annoying and may deter users.

Rit et al,
Glad to see UX folks starting to pay attention to what is indeed likely to be game changing...in the same way that iOS and the advent of iPhone and iPad altered our field, but perhaps even more so. One thing missing from your article, though, is the sophistication required behind the scenes to deliver on these scenarios. Excuse the self-promotion, but my firm CapTech just hosted a webinar on iBeacons last week. During the presentation, we make sure to delve into various issues related to iBeacon that UX, CX, and Service Design folks should be aware of:
- The distinction between iBeacon (iOS) and beacons on Android.
- That beacons are part of a larger set of location-based, peer technologies.
- The complexity of the backstage systems needed to deliver compelling customer experiences.
- Some of the trade-offs involved with bespoke vs. 3rd party implementations (a la shopkick and inMarket).
- The security implications (or not) of iBeacon, and its inherently opt-in nature (no wild spamming).
As noted in our webinar, a fundamental distinction of iBeacon is that the meaning of the location data facilitated by iBeacon is provided by companies and brands, rather than being (arguably) objective. Google, Apple, and others certainly provide layered information on top of the more objective GPS data upon which their map apps are built, but beacon implementations inside of facilities and buildings are inherently subjective data: the beacons themselves have no location awareness, they simply send IDs (and range information) to the app which then has to figure out what those IDs mean (usually, major ID = facility, minor ID = location inside that facility).
Anyway, I hope folks find this helpful: http://captechconsulting.com/blog/mark-badger/ibeacon-demystified-recapping-the-webinar
I look forward to seeing the interactions, experiences, and environments we as a discipline begin to design with this technology!
Great write up!
1) To help gain trust and end user participation, How can UX designers best illustrate the security practices being put in place here? How do we protect against someone creating "dirty" beacons to siphon our info when we walk near an ATM or enter a bus?
2) Like you mentioned, retail marketers could flood the landscape with very poor customer experiences (irrelevant spam). How can UX designers educate & persuade clients NOT to use this approach when dealing with Beacon Marketing? Its hard to say "no" when someone is ready to write you a deposit check;)
3) The main buzz for this technology has been focused almost entirely on retail...its great you mentioned alternatives such as museums & healthcare. Should UX designers be reaching for that "low hanging fruit" (retail) right now, or should they start defining new experiences for other industries...now...while beacons are still in their infancy?
There are a few issues with iBeacons though. 1. The app must be open to receive notifications from iBeacons. 2. They're not very good for locating your location as the signal drops through walls, people and other obstacles. 3. You need to have Bluetooth turned on (albeit hopefully the uptake of having bluetooth on will change in years to come.)
That's a great article. Here's an example of Qualcomm's Gimbal Proximity beacons being used for learning: http://www.worklearnmobile.org/articles/is-this-the-first-ibeacon-app-for-learning/

Mo Yan becomes the first person as a Chinese citizen who won the Nobel Price in Literature, which led a widespread social talks among masses. Someone holds high comments on Mo's works, he is widely read and respected within China, since he says what people never dare to say. However, someone thinks that the articles of Mo is too transient and political, which seems the products of Chinese politics.
From my viewpoints, I have no idea about the excellence or weakness of Mo's works, I never read them. However, I never support the action of Mo's hometown's-- all land will be planned to plant red sorghum, only because of a work's name. Some culture experts are afraid that the some outcomers will encroach the local culture, so the local decides to give up planting economic crops and planting sorghum, which might cause enormous lose.
The central idea of Mo is to criticize the hallucinatory realism, while the action of local government is a kind of hallucinatory realism, isn't it?

Windows Emulation/9.2
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Wine[1] is an application that allows you to create a Windows environment for installing Windows software. This can be useful if your favorite Windows game or productivity application has not been ported to Linux or BSD.
Wine is not guaranteed to work with every Windows application. If you are unsure if the application that you require is supported, search for it in the "Browse Apps" section of the Wine Application Database[2]. The Wine Wiki[3] contains many resources to get you started and to refer to if you encounter problems with your Windows application.Installing and Using Wine
Wine can be installed from AppCafe®. In Figure 9.6a, the user has performed a search to find the Wine PBI. You should install the version that is correct for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Once installed, an icon for Wine Configuration will be added to the Control Panel and, depending upon your desktop, a desktop icon may be created as well. Double-clicking the icon will load the Wine configuration menu shown in Figure 9.6b. You can also start this program by typing winecfg at the command line.
Click the "Add application" button to browse to the application's installer file. By default, the contents of your hard drive will be listed under "drive_c". If the installer is on a CD/DVD, use the drop-down menu to browse to your home directory ➜ .wine ➜ dosdevices folder. The contents of the CD/DVD should be listed under d:. If they are not, the most likely reason is that your CD/DVD was not automatically mounted by the desktop. To mount the media, type the following as the superuser:
You should hear the media spin and be able to select the installer file. Once selected, press "Apply" then "OK" to exit the configuration utility.
To install the application, click the Winefile desktop icon or type winefile to see the screen shown in Figure 9.6c:
Click the button representing the drive containing the installer (in this example, D:\) and double click on the installation file (e.g. setup.exe). The installer should launch and you can proceed to install the application as you would on a Windows system.
Once the installation is complete, browse to C:\ and find the application's location. Figure 9.6d shows an example of running Internet Explorer within winefile.
Using Swine
This is a helpful configuration application available from AppCafe®.

There is an important need for new investment in order to meet growing global demand for energy. A significant risk to energy security is that policy frameworks can prevent investment capital from being mobilised and directed to the most efficient energy supply or energy-saving projects. The challenge is to reduce, as far as possible, these policy risks by creating a favourable investment climate based on openness, consistency and non-discrimination.
The Energy Charter Treaty takes a balanced approach to investors' access to resources. On the one hand, the Treaty is explicit in confirming national sovereignty over energy resources: each member country is free to decide how, and to what extent, its national and sovereign energy resources will be developed, and also the extent to which its energy sector will be opened to foreign investments. On the other hand, there is a requirement that rules on the exploration, development and acquisition of resources are publicly available, non-discriminatory and transparent.
Once a foreign investment is made in line with a country's national legislation, the Treaty is designed to provide a reliable and stable interface between this investment and the host government. The Treaty protects foreign investors against non-commercial risks such as discriminatory treatment, direct or indirect expropriation, or the breach of individual investment contracts. The need for stability in the relationship between investors and host governments is particularly acute in the energy sector, where projects tend to be long-term and highly capital-intensive.
The binding rules contained in the Energy Charter Treaty can play a significant and positive role in mitigating risks. This is because they provide investors with the possibility to protect their rights by taking the host government to international arbitration. Since the Treaty came into force in 1998, several investor-state disputes have already been addressed under the Treaty and successfully resolved, either by amicable settlement or by an arbitral award.
The existence of a functioning mechanism for the resolution of disputes provides persuasive encouragement for states to observe their obligations under the Energy Charter Treaty. As the Charter's Industry Advisory Panel has observed, "although dispute settlement provisions should normally be perceived as instruments of 'last resort', they are of significant value in providing a constructive framework for the resolution of investment related disputes and may thereby make a significant contribution to investor confidence and to a more reliable investment environment".
Under the supervision of the Charter Conference, the Charter's Investment Group is the institutional body for the discussion of all investment-related issues covered by the Treaty. Its main tasks are:
Mr. Parviz Garibzade of the Ministry of Energy of Azerbaijan is Chairman of the Energy Charter's Investment Group since January 2015. The Vice-Chairmen are Dr. Klara Rakhmetova of Kazakhstan and Mr. Tomáš Pavlík of the Czech Republic.

On Saturday, June 11, the Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue (SAR) Team was called out to help a snowboarder with a broken leg.
Payam Pakbin, 28, of Los Angeles, was walking up a steep, icy slope with a friend near Tioga Pass when he lost his footing and slid down into a rock field, suffering a femur fracture. Other backcountry skiers in the area heard his yelling and responded to help. One of the responders skied down to his vehicle and drove down Highway 120 until he was able to contact authorities on his cell phone.
The Tioga Road will open for the season on Saturday, June 18 at 8:00 a.m. for all vehicle traffic. The Tioga Road, bounded on both sides by State Highway 120, is the popular east-west crossing of the Sierra Nevada.
Vault toilets are available in several locations along the road.
There are several no-stopping zones along the road, which are clearly marked with road signs.
A possible wind farm near Benton has some area residents up in arms, especially nearby property owners.
The proposed project is still at the preliminary stage, with only a few test towers planned ŌĆō if the rest towers are approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
But with the potential for many more of the 200-foot-tall wind towers, some residents are none too pleased with the whole idea.
ŌĆ£This is one of the most important habitats for birds in the county,ŌĆØ said Emmy Cattani, an owner of the Adobe Ranch, located northwest of Benton.
Mammoth Hospital has announced the arrival of new General Surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Deck, specializing in breast disease and breast surgeries.
Dr. Deck comes to Mammoth Hospital from Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, Calif., and currently sees more than 200 breast cancer patients annually. He will offer his expertise in the area of mastectomy, lumpectomy and breast reconstruction to those patients diagnosed with all types of breast disease.
William Crosby, a Mammoth Lakes resident who earlier this year filed a claim for damages against Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes following his arrest for an alleged medical marijuana violation, has now filed a lawsuit against both entities in federal district court.
Crosby was arrested in December, 2010. He has maintained since then that he was following the medical marijuana laws. The county rejected his claims for damages last month.
A possible wind farm near Benton has some area residents up in arms, especially nearby property owners. The proposed project is still at the preliminary stage, with only a few test towers (six) planned and with full approval by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) still not certain.
But with the potential for many more of the 200-foot-tall wind towers coming on line (should the test towers show good results) some residents are none too pleased with the whole idea.
As for high-altitude training in Mammoth, Dave McCoy had it down years ago.
Intensely interested in the interplay between high-altitude Mammoth (8,000-11,000 feet) and lower altitude Bishop (4,000 feet), McCoy had asked for a report on the subject from MMSAŌĆÖs John Armstrong.
He got it two years ago, and in the whatever-goes-around-comes-around department, Armstrong presented the report at WednesdayŌĆÖs final topic-related RecStrats workshop at the Community Center. The workshop had to do with establishing Mammoth as a high-altitude training Mecca.
The town on Wednesday got its first look at a proposed ŌĆ£bowling centerŌĆØ along Old Mammoth Road. It was as if fireworks had gone off overhead.
ŌĆ£Full speed ahead,ŌĆØ exclaimed Planning Commissioner Sharon Clark when she and two other commissioners saw the presentation.
The project is called ŌĆ£Rock ŌĆśN Bowl.ŌĆØ It is the brainchild of local real estate investor Dan OŌĆÖConnell and Mammoth architect Bruce Woodward.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs one of those things the town desperately needs,ŌĆØ Woodward said.
The commission took no action on the project, nor was it was asked to.
Despite rumors, unseasonable spring storms, more untimely cold temperatures and triple the normal amount of snow for this date, the road over Tioga Pass is still scheduled to open by the end of June.
ŌĆ£I can say with reasonable certainty that the pass will open within the next few weeks,ŌĆØ said Yosemite National Park Service spokesman Scott Gediman on Wednesday.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre this close,:ŌĆØ said Mono CountyŌĆÖs interim public works director, Jeff Walters. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre this close, but weŌĆÖre not there yet.ŌĆØ

You wouldnŌĆÖt know it to look at him, but retired Mammoth Lakes Police Department officer Paul DostieŌĆÖs big, rambunctious Lab, Buster, has become something of an international sensation recently.
Trained as a cadaver dog by Dostie, Buster is one of the few dogs in the world who can not only detect recent human graves, but he can also detect very old graves. This ability is a product of DostieŌĆÖs driving passion to bring murderers to justice and peace to victimsŌĆÖ families, even if itŌĆÖs been decades since the murder was committed.
This has been a bearcat of a spring for Dennis Rottner.

I am a junior IT person and I am a bit short on experience and I am diploma graduate so which makes me lack knowledge in the eyes of the human resource department.
so what I do is I read technical books like AJAX, SOA, RUBY and stuff like that. Now is it alright if I put that on my resume as a skill of mine without the expensive, somewhat unnecessary, almost boring formal education with them certificates to prove your knowledge?

Just a little trick to save download time if you use the live "CD" several times (I suppose of course you're using a USB stick). After the script has downloaded the packages, they are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives on the live virtual file system. If you run the script again with the "savedebs" command, it will save the packages to your USB stick. The script will then find the packages there the next time and the package manager won't need to download them again.
Note: The script will use a subdirectory called "archives" in the same directory as itself, so the above supposes you have copied the xorg-edgers-live-test script to the USB stick.Code:sudo sh /cdrom/xorg-edgers-live-test savedebs

The engine may stall at times due to a failed crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor, These sensors can fail intermittently as they warm with the engine. Sensors on certain models have been recalled by Nissan and will be replaced as necessary. Please visit our recall section for this model to see if your vehicle is covered by this recall.
2004 Nissan Altima Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2004 Nissan Altima Problem Reports
Welds on the catalytic converter heat shield can corrode causing a rattle during acceleration and possibly causing Check Engine Light illumination. The common repair for this issue is replacement of the damaged catalytic converter.
The Camshaft position sensor can leak oil into its electrical connector causing the Check Engine light to illuminate. The engine may also stall intermittently as a result.
Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors can leak oil into the connector causing Check Engine Light illumination. The engine may also stall as a result. Leaking sensors should be replaced. Certain 2002 models were recalled for a separate camshaft and crankshaft sensor issue. For more information on the recall please click here»
The thermostat may become stuck closed, causing an overheating condition. Replacement of the thermostat will be required to correct this concern.
The AC system may blow warm air due to refrigerant loss caused by a leaking low pressure AC hose. These hoses commonly develop a leak at the hose crimp connection.
The front struts can wear prematurely and create a knocking noise when driving over bumps.
The engine mount on the right side can wear prematurely and cause excessive engine movement.
Screws inside the intake manifold can become loose causing internal engine damage if they fall out completely. Our technicians report that using a strong thread locker on the power valve butterfly screws can help prevent them from becoming loose.
The catalytic converter closest to the cylinder head can fail causing illumination of the Check Engine Light. Prompt repair of this problem is recommended because the catalyst material can be sucked into the engine and cause internal damage.
The electronic throttle actuator (throttle body) can fail causing a loss of power and illumination of the Check Engine Light.
The external seal on the engine oil cooler can fail and create an oil leak.

Work from Home Ideas for Ambitious Muslims
Sometimes, getting a regular job is not an option. Whether you cannot leave your house for health-related issues or logistical requirements (a clever way to say that you need to take care of the kids), or just because you don't want to, you still need to earn some money to take care of your family.

get a pinterest account and search paleo.
ike coconut oil, almond flour, etc. Is that like a Whole Foods-only type thing?
I completely changed my eating habits and still cook some of the recipes from the book. ( I lost 12 lbs in 30 days doing nothing but eating what they tell me) (I am 27 6'2" and weighed 190lb at the time)
Dang. I definitely don't want to lose much weight. I have already paid to have my wedding dress altered for May.
And I live in Memphis, no Rouse's here. Not planning to do the whole grass-fed beef or anything. Plain cow is fine for me.
1 thing about this diet is you get a different "full" feeling. It is not like the carb "full". It takes a little bit used to but it will keep the weight controlled much better than just working out.
You feel satiated, not bloated. When I first kicked carbs, I didn't like it. Now when I eat carbs, I hate the way I feel afterwards.
Now my stomach does not agree with excess carbs
How long did it take? Like if I make it through lent with the 80-20 I probably won't go back?

punksthetic wrote:Yes, I realize that... But it doesn't really matter that the guideline is there or not. It's not like the shirt is going to be sold like that.
The shirt isn't going to physically PRINT like that, sure, but when trying to SELL your shirt to a voting public, presentation is everything. Since you're new, a good idea would be to browse past derbies and see how the top rated entries presented their artwork. Clearly you have talent (well ok that's subjective, but I liked the shirt), but talent alone will not a winner make. Yes you can modify the shirt comp - the important parts are 1) the correct shirt color, 2) a full-sized shirt showing the placement of the design. Closer views are nice so we can see detail, but not required. There's a forum thread somewhere with alternate shirt comp layouts that fellow artists have shared for use, if you want. Sorry I don't have the link handy. Another good idea is to post a link or in-line closeup of details of the design, many of us appreciate seeing them, especially on detailed shirts where it's just hard to catch it all in the shirt comp. Oh, and instead of pimping your design in the first comment, use your first comment to put something interesting about your inspiration, method, or whatever. It just brings interest/attention without feeling like begging Your signature can have a link or button or whatever saying "vote for Tesla!" and that's a nice way to get a little attention to your shirt.

Celebrate Sheldon Adelson & Lloyd Blankfein — Don't Condemn Them
Simple random musings by a self-made New York entrepreneur who is frustrated after the election, and scared about the future of this country.
If the Republicans couldn't win this election, how can they win any election? And for me as a self-made man who was never handed anything how can I believe that this country is headed in the right direction when America voted for handouts? As a New York City resident, I will pay close to 50 percent taxes – and when I drop dead my family will pay another 50 percent. And for that I should work 80-hour weeks?
I teach my children that in America anything is possible, and they can reach the top of the world if they work really hard. Isn't that what America is all about?
To compound my depression about the election, in the last few weeks the scoundrels of "Occupy Wall Street" have moved up to the Upper West Side where I live and I have to see them daily. They stand near my home and the offices of 5WPR: outside of 15 Central Park West, one of the most expensive condominiums in the country.
And they complain about the Chairman of Goldman Sachs. Yes, Lloyd Blankfein is guilty of being rich. Yes, Blankfein makes millions of dollars – and it's after being raised in housing projects in the Bronx, where his dad worked as a clerk for the United States Postal Service. During High School, Blankfein sold hot dogs at Yankee Stadium, and during college to pay for Harvard University he had to work in the cafeteria. For me, who also grew up in the Bronx without a lot of money I view Blankfein as a role model – he worked hard to get to the top. Isn't that what's great about America? The boy next door can conquer the world – and what's so bad about that?
Or Sheldon Adelson, who the Obama campaign demonized – and is also a self-made mega-entrepreneur. Adelson and Blankfein are good men, who give charity and created tens of thousands of jobs – yet are demonized in today's environment.
The state of California passed a bill that taxes anyone making $250k an extra 4%. That 4% essentially gets distributed directly to college kids as state schools. Why not just vote to kick people who make that much out of their homes and give them to low income families? Or anyone with incomes over $1 million, let's just tax them at 100%. The majority would vote for that, lots of money for other people.
It is very scary to think that we live in a society where the tax policy is plain and simple wealth redistribution. Politicians would rather raise taxes than balance a budget. Obama started this war on the wealthy – and it has to be scary for many people who dream of being more successful.
Ronn Torossian founded 5WPR, a Public Relations Agency. He is also a philanthropist via the Ronn Torossian Family foundation.

Why choose PowerPC over x86? anybody?
Phoronix: Linux Begins To Support IBM's Next-Gen POWER8
The PowerPC feature pull for the Linux 3.8 kernel is significant in that it's the first release beginning to introduce support for IBM's next-generation POWER8 processors...
Why choose PowerPC over x86? anybody?
Well, IBM/AIX is the choice for proprietary Unix applications. If you want a single machine with LOTS of CPU and RAM - HIGH END - it is a pretty good choice.
Power7 machines are really fast. So fast, that I'd have my reservations in regards of "much faster than power7" part.
Because you can buy PowerPC chips hardened for automobile usage
Just about every Ford has at least one PowerPC under the hood
Because PowerPC is a simple architecture and mere mortals can actually write in assembly language for it
Because you can buy embedded versions for a couple of dollars
Because AIX handles some loads a lot better than Linux does
Intel's first 8080 sale was for embedding into a calculator.
And yet x86 is now the "mainframe" of processor architectures, having completely forsaken the embedded market.
The PowerPC, direct descendant of the IBM mainframe, is now big in the embedded world.
So today we use mainframe architectures in our embedded systems and we use embedded architectures in our mainframes.
Odd, yes?
(by embedded I mean a processor with no virtual memory manager and no operating system)
POWER is NOT a descendant of IBM mainframe architecture. Go read about zArchitecture, ESA/390, etc.
This is YOUR definition, and it certainly isn't the one used by MOST of the world.(by embedded I mean a processor with no virtual memory manager and no operating system)
OMG I caught your capslock disease

You are hereASIH adds its voice for evolution
The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, a society dedicated to the scientific study and conservation of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles, added its voice for evolution at its 2008 meeting by passing the following resolution. A glimpse of What's the Worst that Could Happen?
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of Greg Craven's What's the Worst that Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate (Perigee, 2009). Jack Friedman dies
Jack Friedman, a past president of NCSE's board of directors, died on July 31, 2014, at the age of 88, according to Newsday (August 2, 2014). Walter Gehring dies
The eminent biologist Walter Gehring died on May 29, 2014, at the age of 75, according to the Biozentrum at the University of Basel. End to the impasse in sight?
A panel approved a proposed revision to the section on evolution in South Carolina's new state science standards, according to The State (July 29, 2014). If the revision is approved by the state board of education and the Education Oversight Committee, it will end the impasse over South Carolina's state science standards that began with the EOC's refusal in December 2013 to accept a standard covering evolution.

A successful defense case is one that's over. Trying a case in which the jury finds for our client is a wonderful outcome, and one at which we excel. But going to trial in the first place might not be in the client's best interest.
The potential cost, time and risk involved all must be carefully weighed when determining an effective legal strategy. That's why clients turn to us when they have a litigation matter they want resolved in the most cost-effective way possible. We work with them to define and develop an endgame plan that makes sense based on their unique needs, incorporating the following strategies:
Proven Leadership
Clients regularly take advantage of our extensive background in effective case and project management by selecting us to serve as national coordinating counsel for multi-jurisdictional litigation. We collaborate with both the client and, when a matter transcends the capabilities of a single law firm, other firms to develop sophisticated strategies for our clients. Kaye Scholer lawyers are well-known for using their thoughtful guidance to cultivate among their talented peers professional relationships defined by cooperation rather than competition.
Risk Management
Our 250 skilled litigators help clients prepare for, minimize and avoid potential problems long before they arise. We are particularly adept at performing due diligence to anticipate potential disputes and regulatory challenges, often collaborating with our accomplished transactional teams to take full advantage of the firm's talent on a matter. Our strategic advice has helped resolve countless disputes outside of a courtroom.
At Your Defense
When a trial is unavoidable, we litigate aggressively on our clients' behalf before state and federal judges at both the district court and appellate level. Our experience compiling and analyzing the factual work-up of the opposition's case, developing the defense strategy, preparing witnesses and experts for depositions and cross-examinations, and writing advocacy documents gives clients a winning edge.
Global Outreach
When it comes to handling complex international commercial disputes and arbitrations, we have unparalleled experience directing a vast network of litigators, maximizing efficiency in jurisdictions across not just several states but also several countries. As veteran leaders, our lawyers deftly manage the entire process of building a robust network known as a "virtual law firm," from developing a guiding strategy to recruiting accomplished local counsel and jury consultants around the globe.
Experience Counts
Our litigators served in diverse roles before joining Kaye Scholer. Many have served as in-house counsel to government agencies, advisors to congressional committees, law school professors, federal and state prosecutors, trustees, and law clerks to justices of the US Supreme Court and to other federal and state courts. Others have advanced degrees in business, engineering, technology and natural sciences.
Second Opinion Service
The medical profession has long recognized the important role of second opinions. When faced with the prospect of major surgery, a patient often seeks another doctor's opinion to ensure that the proposed treatment is the right one. But when faced with high-risk, big-stakes litigation that threatens the financial well-being of a company, soliciting a second opinion is often overlooked. Kaye Scholer offers a Second Opinion Service to companies facing such litigation working with a seasoned trial lawyer, a noted appellate advocate and respected jurist for a fixed fee.

I am remembering back to old discussions, about the lack of printing at all in Cubase 6.x Mac in 64-bit mode, and I think it was something to do with the Mac's use of the Carbon dsk (which didn't work in 64-bit). I am guessing that Cubase 7 is now totally Carbon-free, but that there is some reason why the replacement "Cocoa" dsk doesn't handle Cubase's printing very well.
I'd be very interested to see how the latest versions of Logic/Sibelius etc. handle this on Mac .

This technique allows the user to create a large, humanoid creature composed of rock that can either be expelled from the user's mouth or formed from a nearby, pre-existing source of earth. Depending on the user, the golem can be formed instantly.[1]
The size of the golem differs depending on use, but it always possesses an ample amount of brute strength, being able to bite and tear through a White Zetsu clone.[2] It is very durable, being able to withstand a point-blank explosion.[3] This makes the golem ideal whether it be serving as additional support or simply as a mobile shield.[4]
- While in the manga this technique is only described as Rock Golem (岩のゴーレム, Iwa no Gōremu), it is explicitly named in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations.
- Similar to many techniques from Kumogakure, the game name for this technique is an English word given kanji that somewhat matches its pronunciation.
