ARC Test Drive
20 de octubre 2012
ARC Test Drive was founded by IE MBA students and is a revolutionary business that bridges the gap between new car buyers and sellers, turning the car research and buying process into a stress-free and enjoyable experience. The business idea progressed through term 1 and 2 in the Entrepreneurial Management class taught by Hana Milanov, in the weekly IE Automotive Club meetings and has made its way to IE's Venture Lab Accelerator. Due to the positive feedback at IE, the business intends to launch in the United States in 2013. As part of its launch, the team has organized a Test-Driving event in Long Island, NY that will take place on October 20-21st.
October 2012– Riverhead, Long Island – ARC Test Drive is proud to present its inaugural test driving event at Riverhead Raceway that will take place on October 20th & 21st, 2012. The event will offer the public access to 14 brands of the leading car manufacturers including Toyota, Honda and Ford with over 100 best-selling models available for free test-drives. You can see a pre-event video here.
The purpose of the event, according to Co-Founder and CEO of ARC Test Drive, Michael Lucki, is to help potential car buyers eliminate any doubts and questions about their new car. The event's mission is to enhance the research potential of prospective car buyers by comparing a variety of options across brands in one afternoon.
This innovative 2-day event will feature 3 pre-determined tracks: a road course simulation for passenger vehicles; an off-road track for trucks and SUVs; and for those who need more action or simply a rush of adrenaline, the event offers the once in a lifetime chance to experience selected models on the NASCAR raceway. A professional racecar driver will drive customers with their selected car around the racetrack.
"This event will provide the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in purchasing a new car to test drive and gather information about the new 2013 car models in an independent, pressure-free and convenient environment," explains Mr. Lucki.
This family-friendly event will be held at Riverhead Raceway, Long Island's only auto racing venue. For more information, please visit www.arctestdrive.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Smokejumpers land in huge pot garden
Wildland firefighters make unexpected find in southern Oregon
Smokejumpers fighting fires in Oregon unknowingly landed in the middle of a huge illegal pot-growing operation in a remote national forest.
The six smokejumpers from a base in Redmond found the site as they were searching for lightning-sparked fires Monday night, The Associated Press reported.
They contacted law enforcement, who hiked into the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest and seized two guns and up to 1,500 small marjuana plants.
There were also hundreds of additional holes for planting, the Mail Tribune newspaper reported.
The site near the community of Applegate has been used for drugs before and was being cultivated by growers for Mexican drug gangs, the Jackson County Sheriff's Department said.

Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be used before surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer to pinpoint where cancer cells may be residing. In this study, surgeons are evaluating special wand-like PET probes to be used during the surgery to find cancerous tissue. If effective, the probes could increase the amount of cancerous tissue that a surgeon can remove, potentially reducing the risk of future cancer recurrence and spread.
Patients will receive an injection of a radioactively labeled sugar (glucose) before the surgery. The surgeon will use two different probes — one that detects high levels of gamma radiation and another that detects high levels of beta radiation — to locate cancerous lesions. Because cancer cells consume more glucose than normal cells, they will also absorb more of the radiation and emit higher amounts of radioactivity. The surgeon will remove tissue suspected to contain cancer cells and send it to be analyzed.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Dennis Chi at 212-639-5016.

I went Christmas shopping yesterday, to buy a book from the local bookshop that costs £7. I didn't have any money, so I borrowed £5 from Marianne and £5 from Owen. I bought the book and got £3 change. I gave £1 back to each of my kind colleagues and I keep the remaining £1. I now owe each of them £4 and I have £1, giving £9 in total. But I borrowed £10. Where's the missing pound? There it is! The answer is that the £10 are a red herring. There's no reason why the money I owe after the whole transaction and the money I still have should add up to £10. Rather, the money I owe minus the change I got should come to the price of the book, that is £7. Giving a pound back to each of Marianne and Owen just re-distributes the amounts. The money I still owe is reduced to £8 and the money I still have to £1. Rather than having £10-£3=£7, we now have £8-£1=£7. Mystery solved! |

An infinite set is called countable if you can count it. In other words, it's called countable if you can put its members into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . For example, a bag with infinitely many apples would be a countable infinity because (given an infinite amount of time) you can label the apples 1, 2, 3, ... and so on. Two countably infinite sets A and B are considered to have the same "size" (or cardinality) because you can pair each element in A with one and only one element in B so that no elements in either set are left over. This idea seems to make sense, but it has some funny consequences. For example, the even numbers are a countable infinity because you can link the number 2 to the number 1, the number 4 to 2, the number 6 to 3 and so on. So if you consider the totality of even numbers (not just a finite collection) then there are just as many of them as natural numbers, even though intuitively you'd think there should only be half as many. Something similar goes for the rational numbers (all the numbers you can write as fractions). You can list them as follows: first write down all the fractions whose denominator and numerator add up to 2, then list all the ones where the sum comes to 3, then 4, etc. This is an unfailing recipe to list all the rationals, and once they are listed you can label them by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . So there are just as many rationals as natural numbers, which again seems a bit odd because you'd think that there should be a lot more of them. It was Galileo who first noticed these funny results and they put him off thinking about infinity. Later on the mathematician Georg Cantor revisited the idea. In fact, Cantor came up with a whole hierarchy of infinities, one "bigger" than the other, of which the countable infinity is the smallest. His ideas were controversial at first, but have now become an accepted part of pure mathematics. You can find out more about all this in our collection of articles on infinity. |

We've all got favourite numbers and some of us even go as far as thinking some numbers lucky or unlucky. Seven is probably one that crops up quite a lot in this context, so it's nice to know that it really is a lucky number. No, seriously, that's true! There is a mathematical recipe for finding lucky numbers, and 7 is one of them. The recipe goes like this. Write down all the positive whole numbers starting from 1. First, you eliminate all even numbers, leaving only the odds: The next number on the list after 1 is 3, so you now go and eliminate every third number, leaving: The next surviving number after 3 is 7, so you eliminate every 7th number in the list of survivors. And so on. When you've finished this process the sequence of surviving numbers starts: These surviving numbers are called lucky numbers. They are similar to the prime numbers in some ways. There are infinitely many of them, and they are the result of a sieving process (successively eliminating numbers) similar to the sieve of Eratosthenes which sieves out primes. When you try and approximate the distribution of the lucky numbers among the other numbers as you move up the number line, the result is akin to the prime number theorem. The lucky numbers even have their own version of the Goldbach conjecture, which states that any odd number greater than 4 can be written as the sum of two primes. One thing that isn't known, though, if whether there are infinitely lucky numbers that are also prime, or only finitely many. All this doesn't make 7 lucky in the everyday sense of the word — but it makes us feel very lucky to have so many numbers to play with! |

Now here's an important mathematical question: how likely are you to win the lottery? 1 in 14 million. In the UK lottery you have to choose 6 numbers out of 49, and for a chance at the jackpot you need all of your 6 numbers to come up in the main draw. So the question is really how many possible combinations of 6 numbers can be drawn out of 49? There are 49 possibilities for the first number, 48 for the second, and so on, to 44 possibilities for the sixth number, so there are 49x48x47x46x45x44=10,068,347,520 ways of choosing those six numbers... in that order. But we don't care which order our numbers are picked, and the number of different ways of ordering 6 numbers are 6x5x4x3x2x1=6! =720: there are six possibilities for the number that comes first in the list, 5 for the number that comes second, and so on. Therefore our six numbers are one of 49x48x47x46x45x44/6! = 13,983,816 so we have about a one in 14 million chance of hitting the jackpot. Hmmm... But on a brighter note, we have just discovered a very useful mathematical fact: the number of combinations of size (sets of objects in which order doesn't matter) from a larger set of size is: where This sort of argument lies at the heart of combinatorics, the mathematics of counting. It might not help you win the lottery, but it might keep you healthy. It is used to understand how viruses such as influenza reproduce and mutate, by assessing the chances of creating viable viruses from random recombination of genetic segments.

Triangles do it, squares do it, even hexagons do it — but pentagons don't. They just won't fit together to tile your bathroom wall. That's the reason why you'll find it very difficult to find pentagonal tiles in any hardware shop. It's actually really easy to see why pentagons won't tile the plane. We are talking regular pentagons here, shapes that have five sides of equal length and angles between them. In a regular pentagon the internal angle between two sides is 108°. In a regular tiling, adjacent tiles share whole edges, rather than just parts of edges, so corners of tiles meet corners of other tiles. To fit a number of tiles around a corner point, their internal angles must add up to 360°, since that's a full turn. If you try to fit three pentagons, you only get 3 x 108° = 324°, so there is a gap. If you fit four pentagons, you get 4 x 108° = 432°, so two of them overlap. The same isn't true for equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. Here the internal angles are 60°, 90° and 120° respectively, so you can fit six triangles, four squares and three hexagons around a corner point. (You can try and work out for yourself if any other regular polygons can give you a regular tiling.) Three pentagons arranged around a point leave a gap, and four overlap. Image: Craig Kaplan. If pentagons don't work can we perhaps use other shapes with five-fold symmetry to tile the plane? Find out more in The trouble with five. Return to the Plus Advent Calendar |

Remember maps? In the old days, before smart phones and satnavs, we used to use them to get around. They posed quite a few problems, including folding them and understanding them. To help with the latter, map makers often use different colours to colour adjacent regions, be they countries, counties, or parts of a city. And pretty much since the beginning of map making, they have known that they will never need more than four colours to colour a whole map. It's something that's so blindingly obvious once you start playing with a few maps, it should be easy to prove mathematically: when colouring a map drawn on a flat piece of paper, four colours will always suffice. The US in four colours. Image: Wikipedia. Mathematicians first set themselves the task back in 1852, and it proved a massive headache. It took 24 years for the first proof to be announced, only to be found faulty another eleven years later. Then it took another 86 years, until 1976, until the mathematicians Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken came up with a second proof. They first supposed that there are maps that need five colours, from which you can then choose one that has the smallest number of countries. They then showed that such a minimal map must contain one of 1,936 possible configurations; and they also proved that every one of these possible configurations can be reduced into a smaller configuration which also needs five colours. This is a contradiction because they assumed that they had already started with the smallest five-colour map. When you find a contradiction you can deduce that your initial assumption, that there are maps that need five colours, is false. This sounds good, but there was a hitch. The part of their proof which showed that these 1,936 configurations could be reduced was done by a computer, which simply ploughed through every configuration and checked it. No human being could in their lifetime ever actually read the entire proof to check that it was correct. This caused an outcry: if nobody can check it, how can we ever know it doesn't contain a mistake? Can mathematics ever be done by computers? The proof has since been improved and verified independently (by computers), so most people are quite happy to consider the result proven. The question of whether computer proofs can ever be considered sound, however, is still a hot one. To find out more, read The philosophy of proof and Welcome to the maths lab.

I don't think that is the way to look at it – shifting the mast foot doesn't help you plane any earlier on a wave board. You could shift the footstraps forward if the tail is sinking too much or just lean forwards more. 'Pop' technique also helps you get up to speed. But, really, a board planes easily if the sailor isn't too heavy for it. The Evo XTV70 IS an early planer, in terms of hull shape/rocker line, but is best suited for a sailor of 70kgs or less. When you feel a board is slow to plane but your sail feels powerful enough then it's usually because you are on too small a board for the conditions – with the worse case scenario being when there is white water or an adverse current that is not helping water flow over the hull. Some other Starboard waveboards – those with higher rocker, meant riding bigger waves – may seem relatively slow to plane but this is not the case with the Evo70s I have sailed (and I've had 4 of them, over the years). |

evo mastfoot if an experienced evo sailor is having a hard time planing off the xtv 70(board is plowing not planing), do you think the foot should go back to load the fin or forward to flatten the board? dont tell me about mast base pressure, we got that covered. |

I reviewed these shoes before, but I just keep buying more colors because I love them so much. These shoes really do give a woman's feet a sexy look! The heel with the strap around the ankle really gives it that extra special look and even the way the toe is made, it brings it all together. I really like that it is only a 3 inch heel, it makes it a lot easier to walk in and more comfortable too. So many women don't like them any higher! A lot of real cute styles of shoes are out, but they make the heels just to high to be a comfortable shoe to walk in. So this is a great shoe with a good size heel. That's why I keep buying more. Happy with my purchase! :)

Some perfect others not-so-perfect
I purchased size 8 1/2 for my wedding renewal and thete ere perfect!!! They were so perfect that I ordered 2 more pairs (black and white). The new ones are too long and does not fit at all!! I am terribly saddened by this because they are just the right height that I need but are too long! I am currently trying to return but if not I will donate them in hopes that someone can wear them and not be a total lost.

Absolutely Sexy looking shoes
I have been looking at these shoes for a long long time, but never purchased them because there seemed to be so many negative reviews. I kept seeing all the models wearing them and they looked so good and very sexy with the ankle strap. So I finally decided just to try them, and figured if I really didn't like them I would return them. So I ordered one pair and was preparing myself for the worst. Then they came, and I put them on right away, and WOW was I pleasantly surprised, they were awesome! I walked around the house with them to see if there was anything wrong with them, not a thing wrong. They fit me perfect and were comfortable too, my husband even commented they were nice looking shoes. I was very excited and couldn't wait to order more in other colors. So I ordered another 4 pair. Now I have 5 pair of these very cute and sexy shoes. I'm glad I gave them a chance, very happy with them!! :)
really nice shoes they compliment the dress suit that I purchased for my wife and the height of the heel wasn`t too tall. will be purchasing from this company again
These shoes are really nice, I like the strap around the ankle!

Boo, Hiss!!! Loved the look of this shoe but it is definitely NOT true to size. I ordered my true size of 7 1/2 M. Received an extra narrow shoe that I couldn't even get my foot into. Returned the shoe for a wide size and hoping it is good to go. Also hope it doesn't take forever to get the replacements!

So So
Not worth the price. Super narrow and pretty cheap looking. The chemical smell of the shoes is just awful. I wouldn't suggest.

Good Buy
Very happy with this purchase. I bought them in black and red for work and I am able to wear them all day without a problem. They are comfortable enough for my foot because I wear size 10W. The ankle strap is a nice addition. I will re-buy these again in more colors.

A Waste of Money
I was really looking forward to getting these shoes since they look great online. As soon as I opened the boxes (I got two pairs...which was another mistake I made, I was assaulted by the very strong foul odor emanating from the shoes. The shoes are very comfortable to wear. I give them that, but the shoes are unnecessarily too long. Like one reviewer said, about one and a half inches too long. If you have feet like mine, skinny and long, adding another one and a half inches just makes me look really like a freak. It is not worth returning them since Chadwicks charge restocking fee and some. They are in the donation bin.
CRAZY Narrow
They are lovely shoes. I normally wear 8 1/2 W, ordered 9 W just to be safe. These things weren't just snug, I couldn't even get my feet into them. They were nothing like a standard wide shoe.
Silicon Valley, CA
too big
I bought 2 pair of these shoes, in 2 different color, I wear a size 8, the shoes were too big and the boxes the shoes came in were all broken up, don't understand what happen to the boxes. I will return the shoes back for a 7 and half, hope when I get the new size they fit. I really like these shoes
queens ny
I wear 8 1/2 regular or 8 wide, the shoes are a little tight and 1 1/2 inch longer than needed. I'm returning them.

love the shoes
omg!!!! I love these shoes, I wish they can come back on sale like when I bought them, need more pairs especially the red ones, I went on a trip and when I got back home I noticed I must of dropped one of my shoes and I still have that one shoe in hopes that I can find that exact shoe at another store but no....when I bought them they had a deal 2 pairs for less then what they are now...love the shoes I get a lot of nice compliments...
south gate, ca
Chic and Comfortable
I own three pairs of these shoes. I love the sexy look, yet the height of the heel is comfortable. Another plus is the fact that the sole is suitable for dancing which is not the case with many shoes on the market. A great shoe for a great price.
Three is a Charm
Chicago IL
The Shoe Box is W-A-Y too long!
I can wear either a 9-1/2 Wide or a 10 Wide depending on the shoe. I have ordered both sizes now, thinking that the 9-1/2 would look less long in the toe box, however, it still makes my feet look even that much bigger. Also, the wide is still tight. I sent both pairs back. What a shame! I love the style, the selection of colors, the and more moderate heel.
Erie, PA
Very cute shoes!
I got these shoes in the leopard. They are really cute, and they look great on my foot. I wear a size 10, and they are very flattering on. I want to say that I do have a small bunion on my right foot which causes problems with some shoes. These shoes are very comfortable and roomy, although my right foot is a little swollen all the time. So, that shoe is a little more snug than the left -- but still comfortable! I didn't give them 5 stars because of the material. It's man-made (vinyl probably), but unless you get up close, you can't really tell. I'm keeping them -- and I'll probably order another color!

Scanning the Wide Horizon
Offering scanning wasn't always an option for print shops. Scanners were expensive, the software needed to run them was hard to master, and the entire notion of scanning being a profit center seemed years away.
But the future is now for many wide-format imaging professionals. Scanning equipment is now well within their financial range, and the software currently available makes the transition easy. What's more, the market for scanning services is ready made. Many of the same customers that wide-format shops serve from the printing side are likely to want scanning services as well.
Those in the business of supplying large-format scanners report there are a multitude of ways for print providers to make money in wide-format scanning.
Among experts voicing this argument is Jane Napolitano, of Costa Mesa, CA-based Paradigm Imaging Group. "Depending on the type of scanning, you can do large-format black-and-white, including engineering documents, plans, and drawings," Napolitano said. "Or you can do large-format color, which could be anything: renderings to photos to fine art to plans with redlining or markups. It's more popular for people to scan their own fine art pieces and make copies, and sell those copies."
Many municipalities are looking to scan old blueprints and building plans to convert them to digital format. They use 24- to 55-inch scanners that start at less than $4,000 for black-and-white scanners, upgradeable to color, she said.
"Repro shops are becoming more and more interested in it, and are now moving from being interested to actually buying the scanners," she added. "It's another revenue stream for them. They have opportunities walking in the door, but can't do anything to serve these people without the right equipment."
Those print providers have sacrificed the business of wide-format scanning to others because it was too expensive a business for them to enter, and the software was difficult to deal with, Napolitano said. Today that's no longer the case. Prices have fallen on newer scanner models, and today's software makes transitioning easy.
"Should they add wide-format scanning?" asked Neil Zdunkawicz, product manager for Santa Ana, CA-based Graphtec America. "They already have clients in that business, and they're doing print jobs for them. If they're already doing printing jobs for those kinds of firms, those firms would need scanning services."
At Océ, Chicago-based product marketing manager Maree Joyce reported that for print providers, the ability to offer scanning services sets them apart. "Scanners not only supply a differentiating factor, but they also allow companies to be more efficient in their workflow," she said.
Phil Magenheim, president and COO of Herndon, VA-based Contex Americas, Inc., agrees that print providers are looking at scanning as a way to provide additional profits. "There are many who focus on big signs, big graphics, and they find that having a scanner gives them the opportunity to do short-run reproduction of existing artwork and existing images they have and want to recreate. That's been the most common usage. There has also been a big increase in selling or renting the equipment for their customers to use. For example, they're placing the equipment in architectural offices or construction trailers to provide black-and-white markups...[Those users] will do the smaller projects on site, but for the bigger distribution will send that work back to the shop."
Is It Worth the Investment?
To learn whether an investment in a scanner would be a wise one, shop owners first need to determine the number of scans needed to pay for the scanner, the computer, the software, and the scanner operator, "because you obviously need someone to run it," Zdunkawicz said. "That involves a cost analysis to justify the purchase."
Let's say for argument sake that a scanner costs $10,000, a computer is $5,000, and an operator costs $30,000 per year. Scanning-only services are charged at about $5 a scan, he said, noting in this scenario shops need to scan 2,000 documents for return on investment on the scanner.
"Calculate how many scans that computer is capable of doing per hour, and you can calculate your revenue potential," he said. Using a worst case scenario of five minutes per color, E-size, 400 dpi scan, shops could bring in about $113,000 yearly, working a 40-hour week, with vacation and sick time. Not bad against fixed costs of about $45,000 in the first year.
Step two is market research. Shops considering scanner purchases must determine whether their market areas are or aren't already saturated by other companies offering scanning. "There are numerous online companies, but many clients don't want to ship documents," said Zdunkawicz. "They want to do it all locally because of concerns about privacy and loss through transit."
Step three should be a survey of the existing client base. Ask clients how many paper drawings they have stored, whether they worry about the drawings fading or being damaged, and how much space they are taking up physically. Filling space can lead to a cost per year for storage.
Also, ask how long their engineers have to wait for drawings to be delivered, and what would happen if the paper drawings they have were lost or destroyed. Other questions include whether they have a disaster recovery plan, and whether drawings are viewed serially or concurrently by employees; the former being a situation where a single employee could hold up key processes.
"The last thing is whether they need drawings at remote locations," Zdunkawicz said, noting they likely do if they have several engineers situated in different states or countries working on the same project. A "yes" answer to any of these questions indicates a need for scanning services, he added.
For her part, Napolitano sees profits not just from scanning, but printing as well. "Let's say [clients] come in with their photo from their wedding," she said. "You can scan it and print it out on canvas, making a beautiful piece of artwork." Shops could charge up to $120 a piece for such services, Napolitano added.
What Kind of Scanner to Buy?
Contex's Magenheim reports higher-end scanners allow the running of a wider variety of images and colors, while the lower-end scanner is better geared to technical drawings and images that do not feature wide-color space.
There are two broad types of scanners recommended for wide-format print providers. Which one you choose will depend on the needs of clients, said Roger Ilgen, president of Canton, OH-based GEI WideFormat.
The first, and lowest-priced, type of scanning technology is called Contact Image Sensor (CIS), Ilgen said. This kind of scanner is best for documents such as line drawings and those with intricate, fine details. The other type, a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) scanner, offers a higher definition of color.
"So if you're doing artwork, or a higher level of scanning, such as an aerial photograph or, really, any photo or artwork, you'd want a CCD scanner," Ilgen said.
Napolitano agreed on CCD scanner applications, noting they are better for "artwork, fine art photography, anything calling for high quality color capture."
Joyce believes shops should invest in scanners that are as versatile as possible, enabling them to handle a wide variety of applications.
Choosing New or Used
When wide-format print providers decide to invest in a scanner, they're likely to run up against the question of whether they should choose new or used.
Answering that question goes back to the type of scanning your shop is likely to perform, Napolitano said. "If you're doing a lot of CIS scanning, the cost of those scanners is very reasonable, so I don't see buying a used one even being an option," she said. "But if you're investing in a large CCD scanner, you may want to consider buying used. But then again, do you want to buy used and just have to turn around in a year and buy new?"
Joyce also leans toward buying new. "New equipment always affords purchasers the assurance they are receiving the newest and most energy efficient technology available, and that this technology will have the capabilities they need to incorporate into their existing software and printing equipment."
There's no reason not to buy a relatively recent generation pre-owned scanner, Magenheim said. It makes less sense if the scanner is of a much earlier generation, because that scanner won't be able to take advantage of newer software developed either by Contex or by third-party providers.
But finding a comparatively new pre-owned scanner may not be so easy, he added. "People tend to keep our scanners a very long time," he said. "We generally say seven years is the right length of time to keep a Contex scanner, but many users continue to use them for substantially longer periods."
Ilgen said renting for a short term is another option. "We have a fleet of used equipment to rent to people who have shorter term projects," he said. "If you have a need for scanning limited quantities of documents, and then won't need to scan any longer after you convert those documents to totally digital databases, it makes sense to rent."
Whether print providers begin providing scanning services through the rental or purchase of new or used scanners, Ilgen is convinced the timing is right for this offering. "It's a very robust market, to be quite honest," he said. "People are scanning more and printing less now, even during the downturn."

Time allocation patterns Time use data can show differences between women and men in time allocation patterns (type of activities and their schedule during the specified period of time), reflecting differences in roles and expectations with regard to family, domestic life, and participation in work and social activities outside the home. Women, for example, tend to spend more time than men taking care of children and less time than men working for payment outside of their homes. The schedule of various episodes of activities may also be different for women and for men. For example, men may be more likely than women to spend time for paid work activities during the night. Or, the time spent with children may be more concentrated for men in the evening hours and in the week-end. Gender differences extend beyond the traditional distribution of roles in paid and unpaid work. Different patterns of leisure activities may be described for women and for men. In some societies, for example, men may spend time more often than women in sports and fitness activities.
Unpaid work Time use data are essential in estimating the participation of women and men in unpaid work (activities unaccompanied by remuneration) and the value of this unpaid work for the economy. Some types of unpaid work are not covered by conventional labour statistics or the System of National Accounts (SNA). Conventional labour statistics are limited to activities that contribute to the production of goods and services as defined by the SNA and cover mainly market activities and some unpaid non-market activities. Unpaid work referring to own account production of services are outside the general boundary of SNA and therefore not covered at all in conventional labour force statistics. Examples of unpaid work are cleaning dwellings; small repairs; preparing and serving meals; caring for and instructing children; caring for other persons in the household; as well as certain types of volunteer community services. Data on time use for those types of activity are typically obtained in time use surveys or time use modules attached to labour force surveys, living standard surveys or other multi-topic surveys. The data obtained can be used to estimate household production in satellite accounts that extend measurement of gross domestic product (GDP) to include non-SNA production, making the national accounts more complete and comparable across countries. At the same time, time use data on unpaid work is crucial in making the contribution of women to the economy and society more visible. Women, more often than men, tend to be involved and spend a great amount of time in unpaid work in the home and community. When only cash transactions are taken into account in measuring the economic production, a large portion of women's work remains unaccounted for.
Participation in all forms of work Time use data have an important role in improving estimates of employment and labour force participation through more extensive capturing of the participation in non-market activities that are within the general productive boundary of SNA. These activities refer to the production of goods for own consumption, such as: agricultural work, fishing, hunting, cutting firewood, carrying water, threshing and milling grain, making butter and cheese, slaughtering livestock, etc. Such activities are taken into account by current concepts of labour force and employment and should be covered by conventional labour statistics. However, due to bias in data collection, these activities are often underreported in labour force surveys or censuses. Women, in particular, tend to have their participation in labour force underreported, because they tend to be more often involved in non-market economic activities and because it is often assumed (by interviewers or respondents themselves) that women's activities are limited to the domestic area. Time use surveys are more suitable to capture the involvement of women and men in atypical cases of non-market activities that should be considered within the general productive boundary of SNA, and to obtain a measure of the amount of time allocated to those activities.
Working time, work locations and scheduling of economic activities Characteristics of work such as working time, work locations and scheduling of economic activities are often different for women than for men. Time use data can be used to improve the measurement of time spent for economic activities and to better identify work locations and scheduling of activities during the week and within 24 hours. Time use surveys may be able to provide better estimates of working time than labour force surveys, especially when the distinction between periods of work and non-work may be unclear or when such periods are frequently interchanged. They may also provide better estimates of when work is carried out, and on what locations. Work is increasingly undertaken in non-traditional places. A good portion of paid work may be performed at home or while commuting. Contextual information - for whom and for what purpose is the activity done - is important for differentiating activities outside workplace that are actually performed for an institution even if may appear as personal. Reporting work-related activities may also help to distinguish non-paid activities that are performed for work. For example, self-employed persons may carry out various activities that are important for their business but are not formally remunerated, such as socializing.
Work-family balance Time use data can provide great insights into the gender specifics of interaction of work and family life, and the relationship between labour force participation of various female and male household members and their involvement in the domestic care activities. Time use data can also show how the gender division of labour is changing with the change in the balance between market and non-market activities. This is especially the case when there is available supplementary information on local infrastructure, domestic appliances and consumption of market services that substitutes for households own labour (maids, child care centers, nursing care).
Investment of time in education and health Time use data can contribute to understanding of gender differences in investment in education and health. Data on children's investment in education may refer to time use spent on activities such as being in school, doing homework or other learning activities, as well as on the balance between time spent on learning activities and the time spent in employment or doing housework. Data on time use can also be used to better understand gender differences in physical access to school when girls and boys do not use the same transportation means or do not attend the same schools. Furthermore, data on use of technology such as Internet, computers, or telephones in performing various activities can be used to assess gender gaps in access to communication and technology. Time use data can be used to understand the relationship between gender and health. Commonly, time use data cover activities of care for sick and disabled, which are more often the responsibility of women than of men. Time use data may also cover transportation to health facilities and waiting time to obtain a consultation, which may show gender differences in accessing health services. Finally, some data needed to assess the time lost to ill health, which are often used as a measure of health status for individuals and a non-consumption indicator of poverty, can also be obtained in time use surveys or multi-purpose surveys collecting data on health and time use.
Welfare and quality of life Time use data on leisure and the psychological well-being experienced while performing various types of activities can be used as measures of welfare and quality of life for women and men. In certain contexts, shortage of leisure can be an indicator of poverty. Poor people have to spend most of their time to produce the income required for basic needs and do not often have time for leisure. Leisure may include social interactions, relaxation, cultural activities, solitude, physical exercise, or participation in sports or games. However, the definition of an activity as leisure is cultural and varies from person to person. Cooking is often given as an example of an activity that may be a chore for one person, but leisure for another person. Women are usually responsible for cooking, and this activity is often identified as a household chore. However, cooking may be performed once in a while, for example, by the husband, as a hobby, and therefore it may be identified as leisure. Shopping is another example of activity that can be defined as household chore or individual leisure. Variables that measure psychological well-being while performing each activity – for example whether people experience negative emotions such as tension or stress, or positive feelings, such as enjoyment or content – can also be used to differentiate between activities that are performed as duty and activities that are performed as hobby, and to give an indication of the quality of life. Women for example, are most often in charge of taking care of their children. A woman may experience positive feelings while spending time with her children when the availability of child care services prevent the time invested to become a burden. However, when care services are not available and the woman is the only care provider, negative emotions and lower quality of life may be associated with some of the activities related to the care of children.
Intrahousehold inequality Data on the amount of time spent by all household members on household chores can be used as an indicator of household and individual living standards and help redefine poverty in terms of lack of time resources. At household level, for example, "household time overhead" is defined as the minimum number of hours that a household must spend on the basic chores vital to the survival of the family - preparation of meals, washing clothes, cleaning of the house, as well as time spent fetching water and firewood for cooking. A household with low household time overhead is better off than a household with a high time overhead. How the burden of work is distributed among female and male members of the household is an important contribution of time use data to the understanding of intrahousehold inequality. The household maintenance tasks are not distributed evenly among household members and have a different impact on women and men. As a result, women are more often than men "time poor". Furthermore, data on time use can show how the gender allocation of time within the household is changed when access to public services, infrastructure, or domestic appliances, is provided. They can also show whether the household time overhead is covered by girls or boys when adults, especially women, spend more time on market activities, and whether there are gender differences in the impact on time devoted to schooling and learning activities.

In 2011, we wrote about the newly opened Shanghai Museum of Glass (SHMOG) designed by Coordination Asia's founder and CEO, Tilman Thürmer.
More recently, Thürmer's team completed the Kids' Museum of Glass located in the same Shanghai-based complex and opened a few days ago.
Cool and edgy, quite literally, the Kids' Museum has none of the typical cute and cuddly kiddie features found in spaces dedicated to children. Instead, the target audience, kids aged 4-10, enter an environment of glass, particle board and metal realized in a color scheme of black and white sparsely livened up with lemon yellow, saturated pink and cool blue.
The museum is designed to teach kids the basics of glass in a playful and fun way. The museum mascots, Bobo and Lili, guide children in their glassy hometown through various features, including The Beach, The Circus and The Factory.
Everything is designed to be touched and interacted with. Simple actions and gestures allow children to learn how lightning can create glass, how a glass prism works or what smart glass is. Performances, films and glass demonstrations entertain them in the Fire Theater and Up-Cycling Theater.
Kids can also practice their sketching skills in one of the 'Draw Me' installations. There are also two cafes and a shop for souvenirs, as well as a separate party space for rent for school groups, birthday parties or events by family-oriented brands.
The 2000 square metre (21,530 sq.ft) Kids' Museum of Glass is located in the industrial Baoshan District of Shanghai and it is part of the massive former glass manufacturing site that covers about 30,000 square meters (322,920 sq.ft) and includes thirty existing buildings. When the redevelopment of the site was first envisioned and a 20-year plan created, the site was renamed G+ Glass Theme Park (Glass, Art, Research and Technology Park). - Tuija Seipell.
Children deserve much more attention in urban planning than what they are getting currently. As small children and toddlers are not likely to raise their voices to demand the attention, it is up to us adults to do something about it.
We need to support, demand and finance more initiatives that help children – and their parents – enjoy the outdoors, even in urban settings.
French urban planning and architecture firm Espace Libre, has created a delightful multi-functional play area for toddlers in the commune of Alfortville, located 7.6 kilometres (4.7 miles) from the centre of Paris.
Completed this fall, the 2500 square-metre (26910 square foot) play area includes features that encourage exploration, interaction and experimentation through all the senses.
It includes multiple elevations, many kinds of surface textures, many varieties of vegetation and shrubs, and multiple colors. Several kinds of lighting, interactive structures for swinging and bouncing, and interesting surfaces – such as the strip of "street" meant for chalk art – all add variety to the enjoyment of this space. - Tuija Seipell.
We love children's spaces that celebrate the creativity and freedom of body and mind. This Educational Centre, located in the Kfar Shemaryahu area of Tel Aviv, Israel, surely does that.
The 2,400 square metre (25,833 square-foot) Centre includes six kindergartens for children aged three to six years, a common play area and an empowerment centre, a social services and wellness centre that also provides psychological services for children. Three of the six kindergartens are for the children of foreign residents and diplomats.
The architecture of the building is by Shoshany Architects and the interior and furniture design by Sarit Shani Hay.
Hay's task was to create a friendly and informal integrated environment where each of the spaces functions as an independent unit.
She created individual color and design themes for each kindergarten space based on the agricultural history of the Kfar Shemaryahu area.
The kindergartens are named Olive (Zayit), Palm (Tamar) , Pomegranate (Rimon), Wheat (Hita), Fig (Te'ena) and Vine (Gefen).
The large, central lobby area connects the kindergartens and the empowerment centre and functions as a play area with equipment that encourages physical activity and interaction. Wooden tractors, lakes, trees and other equipment refer to the life of an agricultural village.
Our favorite area is the Palm kindergarten with its orange coloring derived from ripe dates, and its motifs referring to palm trees, oasis and camels. The little play huts provide nice cozy privacy and home-like details that encourage creative play. - Tuija Seipell.

Once again, we find ourselves featuring the work of Masquespacio, the Valencia, Spain, based studio with an eye for crisp, fresh interiors.
Masquespacio's principal, Ana Milena Hernández Palacios, has been hard at work completing the graphic design and interior design for a just-opened language school with a minimal budget.
The 183 square meter (1,969 sq.ft.) language school called 2Day Languages is located in a heritage building in central Valencia. Its target audience is a 20 to 30 year-old international student for whom the school offers flexible learning options, cool surroundings and even a cooking class!
The space is divided into three class rooms, a staff room and a lounge. The colors and components of each space stem from the speech bubble/flag logo of the school. The three brand colors – blue, yellow and pink – represent the three levels established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Additional influence comes from the neoclassical architecture of the building, new and old architecture of Valencia, and parts of the Spanish language.
We love the use of pine wood and crude-looking stackable and light-weight furniture. We love the semi-domestic feel created by this furniture, the casual cushions, lighting and plants.
The entire space looks inviting and friendly, yet the lovely skeleton of the grand building is visible in the plaster moldings, the height of the rooms and the gorgeous windows.
Particularly intriguing are the 10 frames of crafty nails-and-wool-thread artwork, created by Masquespacio and involving 6400 nails and 2500 meters of wool. Tuija Seipell.

The 20,500 square meter park, opened this summer, is located at Jamieson and Homebush Streets, in Sydney, Australia, and operates under the Sydney Olympic Park Authority.
JMD Design wanted to avoid the fenced-in, overly structure-based approach of many kids' outdoor parks. They worked with, rather than against the earth forms of cones, cuts and terraces, established earlier at this site, and created a free-flowing, open play area with surprises and distinctive activity points.
The tree house is manufactured from galvanised steel, fibrous cement sheeting floors and walls, hardwood timber batten walls and ceilings, stainless steel mesh walls and ceilings with rope floors in some areas.

Ecole Maternelle Pajol, a four-classroom kindergarten on Rue Pajol in Paris's 18th arrondissement, combines so many of the things we love.
Parisian architecture office Palatre & Leclère has restored and reimagined the 1940s building, yet they have left the basic feel of the structure unchanged. We believe in repurposing and saving older buildings, but letting them tell their previous stories, even in their new guises.
We love color, especially when it is used to brighten up an otherwise drab or monotonous environment. This kindergarten clearly speaks the language of joyful color.
We love it when public art and public buildings and spaces are used to express joy and be playful, too, not just to parade impressive and "acceptable" art and architecture. Of all places, shouldn't a kindergarten resonate deeply with children, not just adults?
And of course we love any project that invest the same time, effort and resources into spaces and places for kids than we are used to investing into adults' play.
In Ecole Maternelle Pajol, Palatre & Leclère used color boldly both inside and out. They also provided a variety of shapes and forms in the furniture, furnishings and on the walls, in the play areas, rest areas and even in the bathrooms. In addition, they provided a variety of textures from tile and glass to rubber and wood.
The building has kept its 1940s brick-wall feel, yet it radiates exuberance and has an up-to-date energy. Most likely its current users feel it was built just for them.
Palatre & Leclère is an architecture agency founded in 2006 by Tiphaine Leclère and Olivier Palatre. - Tuija Seipell.
Youth Factory, Factoría Joven, in Mérida, Spain, is an example of what can be done if a regional government works with the community and local designers to meet the needs of youth that may otherwise be heading down the slippery path of street life.
The structure may not be a permanent monument to architecture, but it is definitely a better place than the back streets of Spanish cities. We are all for any attempt at all to provide children and youth a place to be kids, to be creative and just have some fun.
Factoría Joven was designed by Madrid-based Selgascano Architects, a partnership between husband and wife, José Selgas and Lucía Cano.
Using recycled furniture, inexpensive building materials and temporary solutions, the designers were definitely not looking to build a monument to architecture; they were much more interested in affordable ordinariness and practical possibilities.
Factoría Joven helps attract the restless, unemployed street youth off the streets and provides them with a place to skateboard, hip-hop dance, climb rocks, create graffiti — whatever they would otherwise do in much more sinister surroundings. There are also a computer lab and a dance studio, both 800-square-meters in size. Meeting rooms and spaces for theatre, video and music are all included.
This is one of several such "youth factories" in the area; recreational centers and places that are inclusive, open and safe. - Tuija Seipell

Most hotels are decidedly kid-unfriendly, and even more so are hotels such as Jerusalem's David Citadel Hotel, known as the home-away-from-home for the world's celebrities and political leaders.
So, it is doubly delightful that this citadel of grown-up matters of importance now has a wonderful new kids' space, designed by Sarit Shani Hay whose work we have presented before here and here.
Hay is responsible for the interior and furniture design of the 100 square-meter (1076 square-foot) space that has activity areas for little kids and computer desks for bigger ones.
We love the inclusivity of the room that is divided by clear blocks of primary colors. It has both angular and rounded forms, open and intimate spaces, soft and hard surfaces, items to interest both boys and girls, activities to draw little and older kids, and low-tech items such as wooden toys mixed with higher-tech elements such as computer stations and flat screens.
In this decidedly modern playroom, Hay has incorporated also some traditional Jerusalem themes, including the lion – the emblem of Jerusalem – and a windmill, cave and the Mahane Yehuda.
The horseshoe-shaped, 384-room David Citadel Hotel, located within walking distance from the Old City, was built in the mid-1990s by local real-estate and hotel magnate Alfred Akirov. The building architect is Moshe Safdie and the hotel designers Chhada Siembieda & Associates. - Tuija Seipell.
As we continue to wonder why so much more time, energy and attention is lavished on adults' play and entertainment spaces than on kids' play and entertainment spaces, we sometimes find a cool spot worth mentioning.
The "sculptural playground" Schulberg located in a formerly neglected area overlooking the historic centre of the city of Wiesbaden in Germany, is one of such great kid-friendly environments. It is both kid- and adult-friendly and big enough to hold even the most active kid's attention for several visits.
Designed by Berlin-based ANNABAU Architektur und Landschaft http://www.annabau.com/index.php?site=projects&subsite=project&id=6, the pentagon-shaped play area mirrors the city's historic shape. The playground consists of three elements: A suspended net walkway loop supported by two undulating lengths of stainless-steel pipe; an artificial landscape created inside the loop; and a wide boulevard with benches outside the loop. - Tuija Seipell
There are no alligators outside this cool kindergarten, located in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, Israel. But inside, there definitely are alligators and they are white.
White alligators may not be the first things that would come to mind if you were asked to design a kindergarten environment. But Tel-Aviv-based designer Sarit Shani Hay, creator of fun kindergarten spaces, doesn't think like the rest of us.
She took her inspiration from the surroundings of the kindergarten — an agricultural training farm with lush vegetable gardens and purposeful functionality.
In her projects, Hay combines sleek functionality with unexpected whimsy, typified here by the white crocs that function as lounge chairs for the little ones.
Other focal points include a large mushroom that serves as a house, a hiding place and a play station; and a wooden house with windows and a red roof; and shelving units in the shape of trees. All of these have a functional purpose and look inviting and cool, but the main benefit is their inspiration for play and interaction. Rather than just sitting there like any furniture, these pieces are also playthings that invite the children to discover and experiment.
The space has two rooms for two age groups: one for 1.5-2.5 year-olds, and the other for 2.5-3.5 year-olds. A large block of white closets divides the two spaces and hides the kids mattresses and contains each kid's own drawer.
And, if you are like us and would like one of those gators, you will need to be in touch with Hay, because she both designed and made them by hand. Apparently, they are available in three sizes – we imagine them to be tiny-ish, plain scary and horrendous. - Tuija Seipell

10 ACM Awards Moments You Didn't See On TV
Radio.com was in Las Vegas, at the ACM Party for a Cause, on the red carpet, at the awards show and in the press room covering the event. Here are 10 things that CBS didn't show you on television.
The Best Moments of the 2014 ACM Awards
The Academy of Country Music's 49th Annual Awards were broadcast out of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas again this year, with special performances in nearby Mandalay Bay. Here are the biggest moments from the show.
Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, More Added to 'Salute the Troops' TV Special
Lee Brice, Hunter Hayes, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Kellie Pickler, and Keith Urban have also been added to the already impressive bill of the television special, which airs in May. LL Cool J and actor Chris O'Donnell will host.
Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, More Among to Perform at 2014 ACM Awards
Nominees Aldean, Bryan, Lambert, Strait, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and the Band Perry will perform live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas during the 49th ACM Awards on April 6.
Luke Bryan: Inside the ACM Entertainer of the Year Nominees
No one can argue that in 2013, Luke Bryan had the year of his life. He sold out a tour, he released a first-week million selling album and he crashed everyone's party.
Luke Bryan to Perform During ACM Fan Jam
Luke Bryan is going to be a busy guy this coming April 6. Between cohosting the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards that night, and being nominated in three different categories, Bryan already had plenty on his plate. Now, though, he's got one more task: performing that same evening via live remote as part of the fourth annual ACM Fan Jam.
Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban Lead 2014 ACM Award Nominations
Additional major nominees include Lee Brice, Kacey Musgraves, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan and Darius Rucker. And who are this year's Entertainer of the Year nominees?
Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan to Cohost the Academy of Country Music Awards April 6
The 49th annual ACM Awards will air live from Las Vegas on April 6, 2014. The program will be broadcast on CBS, and once again Bryan and Shelton will cohost the evening.
Highlights From the 48th ACM Awards
The three-hour broadcast of the 48th Academy of Country Music Awards is over now, and the winners have been named and honored. At the top of that list is, of course, Luke Bryan, who walked away with Entertainer of the […]
ACM Awards Winners List
The 48th annual ACM Awards may have wrapped up in Las Vegas for 2013, but these winners get a full 365 days to gloat to the country music world about their big wins. While the night boasted […]

I am really, really surprised how well the FX-8150 did. It seems to perform much, much better under Linux than Windows. Does anyone else notice this?
Phoronix: Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition On Linux
By now you have likely heard of the Core i7 3960X processor, which is one of the Sandy Bridge Extreme CPUs that was launched in November by Intel to much excitement and talked about quite a bit on Phoronix in the past few days. In this article is a comprehensive look at the Intel Core i7 3960X performance under Ubuntu Linux.
I am really, really surprised how well the FX-8150 did. It seems to perform much, much better under Linux than Windows. Does anyone else notice this?
It's kinda sad Intel Core i7 2600 wasn't included, as HT in it helps to gain some noticeable increases in performance.
Given that the benchmark are open and public, perhaps someone on future can make a comparison using a system with two Amd Opteron 6238 (the cost is the same as the single Intel cpu).
Sure the ammount of power consumption should be more high but despite the lower clock i think could outperform the actual result.
True true!
Benchmarking of sandy bridge and sandy bridge ex VS bulldozer and interlagos in categories:
- single thread number crunching,
- multiple thread number crunching,
- massive multiple thread number crunching,
- db requests
and measuring performance, task-switching ef.(how responsible system is), power drain, core load
on lastest nonRC kernel,
would be 1A article!
A lot of AMD supporters (no offence) claim that bulldozer is better at responsibility, or that interlagos, while costing same is heaps ahead.
This is needed to be cleared out. I think not only AMD, but Intel may be interested in this. Very probably someone owning such CPUs would cooperate and participate benching via openbenchmarking benchprofile.
There are zero articles on the web with that comparison.
I think that on single thread a similar Amd system haven't any hope to outperform this Intel solution, so i'm more curious about multiple thread applications.
On similar scenario i think could outperform the follow result:
Building The Linux Kernel In 60 Seconds
Also could be a good system, for:
fullHD movie conversion
heavy cpu rendering
and some other specific thing.
For build a specific workstation machine and don't for general use.
The Gpu alternative could be nice (despite the quality is more or less lower) but until Intel is obstinate at don't give this opportunity at Linux user while the other should rely on proprietary driver from nVidia/Ati ... the brute force of the Cpu remain the only thing usable for full open driver Linux users.
Today i noticed that exist even the Intel® Core i7-3930K with few differences compared to the Intel® Core i7-3960X but with half the cost.
I bet that even the performance will be roughly equivalent between these two models.
At that point, with half on the budget, amd can't compete at all even on the workstation market.
I just built a i7 3820 machine and will benchmark against this set of tests tonight. For some prelim benchmarks, here is my machine @ 4.3GHz against 8150/990x/etc.
