The present invention is related to devices for attaching and splicing rope.
Much rope available today consists of multiple strand, multiple lay, man made fiber that is woven in various patterns to achieve strength and flexibility. These ropes, while very strong, are extremely difficult to splice due to the extreme skill required to handle the multiple lays in the complex weave or braided patterns.
The ends of ropes should be prepared or treated in such a manner as to prevent fiber ends and lays from unraveling. A common procedure for doing this has been to wrap the rope end with treated or waxed twine or cord. The twine or cord is secured by threading it through the body of the rope (termed "serving") or by back splicing the various rope lays. To create an eye or loop in the rope, each lay of the rope should be "served". The lays are then woven into the body of the rope over a distance which would allow each lay to be interwoven with another lay at least two times. This achieves a strong union of the rope lays, strengthening the splice as pressure is exerted against the eye or loop. Such splicing requires a substantial amount of time and skill.
Products presently available are serviceable for hollow core types of rope for the purpose of creating an eye splice. However, the design of such products is such as to create a stiffness in the rope body ahead of the splice area. In addition, they present some difficulty in use due to the force required to create the splice.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,952,376 granted to Jay Scott Ellis on Jan. 7, 1975 discloses an apparatus for securing two ropes together on opposite sides of a friction member. A heat shrinkable tube may be placed over the joined rope sections to surround the area adjacent the friction member. Heat may then be applied to the tube, causing it to shrink about the rope sections and drive them into forceable engagement with one another and the friction member. Heat shrinkable plastics are typically flexible. Therefore, the heat shrinkable tube allows flexure of the engaged rope sections relative to one another against the friction member. This can produce wear and the rope sections may be twisted out of their original parallel relationship and thereby lose the grip against the friction member.
The present invention allows quick and efficient splicing of rope wherein the splice formed is of a permanent nature. For this purpose, two relatively rigid sections of a splicer body are provided in conjunction with a tubular heat shrinkable sheath that is adapted to fit over the closed splicer body sections and may be shrunk by application of heat to securely clamp a rope between the two sections.

FIG. 8 is an exploded pictorial view of the third form of the present invention; and
FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the FIG. 8 embodiment.
A first form of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, a second form is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, a third form is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. All forms of the present invention are intended to be used for splicing or forming a loop in a rope 10. The rope 10 is preferably formed of natural or man-made fibers woven together and braided.
The present device is utilized to operate at ends of the rope 10 for the purpose of providing a splice or forming a loop of a selected size at the rope end. The form of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 is utilized to form a loop at a rope end. The FIG. 2 embodiment is utilized to splice rope ends together and the FIG. 8 and 9 embodiment is utilized to fit over one end of a rope to seal the end and present a pivoted eyelet arrangement at the rope end.
The attaching device of the present invention is generally designated in the drawings by the reference character 11. All forms basically include a splicer body 12 and a heat shrinkable sheath 13. The splicer body 12 is formed in two sections 16 and is preferably molded of synthetic plastic resins. Each section 16 extends between opposed ends 17 and 18.
The two sections of the splicer body 12 may be formed integrally of a single piece of material joined by an integral hinge member 19 extending between the ends 17 and 18 along sides 20 of the halves 16. The hinge 19 defines a hinge axis about which the sections 16 are symmetrical. The hinge 19 may be formed along relatively planar surfaces 21 that engage one another when the sections 16 are folded about the hinge axis against one another to sandwich a rope therebetween. An exterior surface 21a of the sections 16 may be grooved, roughened or otherwise treated to provide a maximum purchase for the cover.
Each section 16 includes at least one channel 22 that is concave in cross section and defined by arcuate channel walls 23. The FIG. 1 embodiment shows two such channels 22. The first channel 22 opens at both ends 17 and 18 while a second channel 22a extends from an opening at end 18 to a closed end. The channels of the FIG. 1 embodiment are angularly offset from one another, converging from the end 18. The channels 22 that extend through the sections 16 are adapted to receive the rope 10 at a point spaced along its length from its free end. The second channels 22a are adapted to receive an end of the rope that is adjacent to the half ends 18. When the two sections 16 are closed over the rope section and end, a loop is formed as illustrated in FIG. 4.
The FIG. 1 embodiment includes relatively rigid webs 24 between the channels 22 and 22a. These webs reinforce the device 11 and define the surfaces 21.
Each of the disclosed embodiments include rope gripping elements 30 (FIG. 5) formed integrally within at least one of the sections 16 and preferably both. The rope gripping elements are preferably conical in configuration having pointed ends 31 that protrude into the channels 22, 22a. They also include bases 33 along the channel walls 23. Preferably, the gripping elements 30 project radially toward an axis as shown by a point 34 in FIG. 5. The axis may be described as the longitudinal axis of a bore formed by the two facing channels 22 when the sections of the splicer body 12 are closed to sandwich a rope between them. It is preferred that the pointed ends 31 be spaced from the channel walls 23 radially by a distance equal to one half the distance from the walls to the axis. Furthermore, it is preferred that the diameter of the bases 33 be approximately one half of the radial distance from the walls 23 to the points 31.
It is also preferable that the gripping elements 30 be canted axially toward one of the ends 17 or 18, depending upon the purpose for the device. For example, the gripping elements of the FIG. 1 embodiment will be canted toward the body ends 17. The gripping elements of the FIG. 6 embodiment will be canted in opposite directions toward closed ends of the channels. Likewise, the FIG. 8 embodiment will include gripping elements that are canted toward the closed ends of its channels. This serves to secure the device on the rope at the selected position and resists tension applied between the rope and device which would ordinarily pull the rope free of the splicer body 12.
The FIGS. 6 and 7 embodiment is provided for splicing ends of ropes together. Here, the channels 22, 22a formed in each splicer body section 16 are coaxial. They open on the opposite body ends 17 and 18 and extend inwardly to closed ends that are spaced axially apart. The rigid web 24 extends between the closed ends of the channel to provide rigidity at the joined extreme ends of the rope.
The FIGS. 8 and 9 embodiment is provided to include an eyelet means 36 mounted at an end 18 of the splicer body 12. The eyelet means 36 is mounted in alignment with the channels for pivotal movement relative to the splicer body. Means 36 includes recesses 39 that are complementary and symmetrical about the axis of the hinge 19. The recesses 39 may be spherical and complementary to a pivot base 40 formed on an eyelet means 36. A shank 41 extends outwardly from the pivot base 40 to an eyelet 42. A flared opening 43 is provided at the ends of the halves 16 to allow relatively free pivotal movement of the shank relative to the splicer body.
The FIG. 1 embodiment of the present invention is used to form a loop at an end of the rope. To do this, the rope is first examined and, if comprised of man made fibers, the end is heated to melt the fiber ends to prevent unraveling. The device may then be attached to the rope. This is done by slipping the heat shrink sheath 13 over the rope end to a position thereon beyond the area selected for the loop. The splicer body 12 is then fitted to the rope by pressing a section of the rope into the open ended channel 22 of one of the splicer body sections 16. The free end of the rope is then brought around and pressed into engagement within the adjacent channel 22a with the rope end in abutment with the closed end of the channel.
The splicer body 12 is enclosed by pivoting the remaining body section 16 about the hinge axis and over the rope to sandwich the rope end and engaged rope section between the channels 22 and 22a. This forms the loop.
The heat shrink sheath 13 is then moved over the assembled sections 16 to encase the exterior of the splicer body. Heat is then applied to sheath 13, causing it to shrink and thereby secure the halves 16 together against the rope and thereby secure the rope in relation to the splicer body. The gripping elements 30 will dig into and between the fibers and lays of rope to firmly secure the rope against tension exerted between the splicer body 12 and rope 10.
A rope splice may be performed with the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Prior to splicing, the rope ends are prepared as described above or otherwise trimmed to present abrupt ends that will fit easily within the coaxial channels. The rope ends are then pressed into the channels and the splicer body 12 is closed onto the ropes, sandwiching the ends between the oppositely facing channels 22. The tubular heat shrink sheath 13, previously located about the rope, is then moved over the exterior surfaces of the joined splicer body halves and heated to shrink and securely clamp the halves 16 on the rope ends. The finished splice is illustrated in FIG. 7.
A single end of a rope may be treated by using one longitudinal section of the splicer body 12 including opposed hinged sections thereof. For example, the splicer body as illustrated in FIG. 6 may be cut in half transversely between the closed ends of the channels. This will provide two separate end caps that may be placed at opposite ends of a rope and secured thereto by a separate half of the heat shrink sheath 13.
A pivotal eyelet means 36 may be secured at the end of a rope through the embodiment of my invention illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. Mounting of the rope to this device is similar to that described for the end caps and splicing embodiment described above. Prior to folding the sections 16 onto one another, however, the eyelet base 40 is inserted into one of the recesses 39. The sections 16 may then be closed onto each other and about the rope to secure the device to the rope end and provide a pivotal eyelet extending outwardly from the end of the rope. The heat shrink sheath can be placed over the two splicer body sections 16 and heated to secure them to the rope end.
A distinct advantage of the present invention is the provision of the splicer body 12, being formed of a material that resists deformation due to forces applied through the attached rope members. The portions of the rope engaged therewith, will therefore not flex or move within the channels. Wear within the channels is negligible. Furthermore, the gripping elements 30 provide maximum gripping force against the portions of the rope engaged therewith to prevent axial movement of the rope within the channels.
In the loop version (FIGS. 1 through 4) the rope end is spaced away from the engaged portion of the rope so that both rope portions may be secured individually without chance that they may rub against each other or be worked by external forces against each other to wear and loosen within the splicer body. The web members 24 serve to reinforce the loop or splice at otherwise weak points.
It is to be understood that the above description and attached drawings are given by way of example to set forth a preferred and alternate form of my invention. The illustrated details might be modified as necessary to meet the requirements of particular applications of the invention.

In this article, I explore the ways in which notions of the ancient and the modern have helped to shape early museological interest and practices in the Caribbean. I argue that the Caribbean, and for my purposes Jamaica, occupies an ambiguous place between the ancient and the modern worlds—not ancient enough yet not modern enough—which has resulted in the material culture of the modern Caribbean being largely absent from anthropological (and in fact history) collections both in the Caribbean as well as in museums across Europe. The result is that the region has come to be defined materially primarily through its natural and not its cultural history, and thus is represented as a place of nature and not culture.

We don't always turn out like our parents.
Sometimes we become even better.
How this happens is the subject of a new research project at the University of Gothenburg.
When two gene pools combine, you might expect the characteristics of the offspring to end up somewhere in the middle between those of its parents. But children often have characteristics that are better or worse than that middle value, sometimes even better than both parents.
Better horses, redder tomatoes
This is not a newly-recognized phenomenon. Indeed, it has been exploited to breed better horses, redder tomatoes, more nutritious rice, and salmon that can thrive in fish farms, to mention but a few examples.
New research project
Heterosis is the scientific term for being better than your parents. Why does heterosis occur? What is the molecular mechanism? How common is it? How can we make it happen more often and to greater effect? Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences outside Oslo are aiming to find answers to these questions in a new research project.
Bakers yeast
Using baker's yeast as a model, Jonas Warringer and his colleague Stig Omholt are mapping the incidence of heterosis for a large number of different characteristics. They hope to discover the mechanisms in human cells that govern the creation of children with characteristics sometimes superior to those of their parents. They are initially studying yeast cells - in which the mechanism has already been established.
Brewers yeast
In their first studies, Warringer and Omholt have shown how heterosis has enabled brewer's yeast to develop tolerance to copper, something that helps the yeast to survive in the large copper tanks used in the brewing industry. After some of the results where published in Nature in March this year, the interest in Wa

Desperate to stop recurring dreamADAM ROBERTS
So, I've been having this recurring dream lately, I wonder if you can help me out. In the dream, I'm back at school, either at high school or university, and I'm screwed.
There's an exam I need to get to (in some cases I'm actually in the exam), and it's for a subject I just haven't bothered attending. As if I would ever do that.
I panic, desperately trying to absorb my notes, but in some cases I'm unable to read them.
In some cases, thanks to my working knowledge of the film Waking Life, I manage to remind myself that I'm actually a 26-year-old journalist, not a 14-year-old student, and that this is all a dream.
Often I'll wake up in a panic, but then realise it was all a dream, and that I have to get up for work in an hour.
Aside from another recurring dream involving my teeth falling out (apparently to do with my anxieties about my appearance, as unlikely as that scenario sounds), the school scene is probably the dream I have most often.
Dr Michael J Breus says in the Huffington Post (the top result for a Google search of "dream explanation back at school"), school may represent education to the dreamer, so maybe they (I) feel anxiety about learning a particular subject.
Other, equally earth-shattering explanations include school representing a social scene, or school representing a time of security to the dreamer.
Assuming I'm relatively normal (perhaps a long bow to draw), let's take the first explanation as an example.
Say I am worried about learning a subject - how can I do something about that?
Well, fortunately, we live in an age where learning about a particular subject is just a google away.
Resources such as Wikipedia, Quora, or online encyclopaedias can give you a brief primer on almost any subject.
If you want to go deeper, it's now possible to take part in complete courses in many university level subjects on your computer.
Sites like Khan Academy, Udacity and edX allow you to watch mostly free educational videos, in some cases from such universities as Harvard, MIT or Cambridge.
So, I've been trying to take advantage of this new age, in a desperate attempt to keep the dreams at bay.
In the same way learning a language helps to inform your understanding of another country, I thought learning a computer language might help me appreciate the vagaries of the technology scene.
This isn't the first time I've tried this.
I've written about online programming website Code Academy before, mentioning it last year in a column about gamification. Unfortunately, its charms faded and I didn't stick with it.
In the meantime I also signed up to another online tutorial, Udacity, but to my shame I never even attempted a single lesson.
Each week I would receive an encouraging email urging me to "keep going" with the course: the horrible truth was that I had never started.
But I've turned a corner, changed my ways, and now I'm back with Code Academy, studying javascript - for no particular reason - and this time it seems to be working.
The course gives you encouraging emails as you log in on successive days, and a few weeks ago I managed to do so seven days in a row.
Once I finish the javascript lessons, I plan to move on to the refresh my knowledge of html, and then maybe try Ruby, after hearing it described in Robin Sloan's Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore.
I'm pretty sure I didn't put in this much effort in my undergraduate degree. We will see if it continues.
But if programming is not your thing, there is no shortage of alternatives.
Khan Academy is often touted as the leader of open education, and it offers an impressive selection of lecture videos, best accessed through its iPad app.
If you're not into that, try edX - with the collaboration of real universities, you could finally earn that certificate from Harvard you've been meaning to get around to.
It's also worth pointing out that these courses can be useful for younger students too - with high school exams around the corner, perhaps the stressed out teenager in the house could make use of these sites.
Of course, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I sincerely hope that in 10 years time I won't be having nightmares about missing a Code Academy test.
If I do, I'll be sure to look them up.

Product description
Animation is one of the hottest and most creative areas of film-making today. During his more than 40 years in the business, Richard Williams has been one of the true innovators, and serves as the link between the golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation successes. In this book, based on his sold-out Animation Masterclass in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that very animator - from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz - needs. Using hundreds of drawings, Williams distills the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that has become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students and fans. This new expanded edition includes more on animal action, invention and realism with sophisticated animation examples.

Re: TNG Rewatch: 5x02: "Darmok"
This is one of my absolute favorites of TNG. I really like this one.
Comparing this to Arena isn't even worthy of the apples and oranges anology. The only things that this and Arena have in common are two Captains on a planet. All of the reasons for that, how they got there, why they are there, what their crews are doing during this and the state of the ships are all completely different.
In Arena, the Gorn captain isn't trying to communicate, his ship is not standing by carrying out his commands to create the situation, and there's no other monster, He is the monster for all intents. There's more, but that's just for starters.
I just dislike anyone trying to make something they like seem better by trying to rip something else down, whether it's related or not. If something is good, it's good. It's not made better by pulling something else down to it's level.
I fail to comprehend your indignation, sir. I have simply made the logical deduction that you are a liar.

"Shaka when the walls fell,
"Temba. his arms wide".
This was the most annoying episode ever. I couldn't get that stupid dialogue out of my head for what seemed like days after I saw this ep.
It annoyed the heck out of me whenever I heard those lines uttered. When Darmok was speaking, it was like listening to a caveman.
Who speaks like that anyway.
The episode was like a train wreck. You couldn't help but watch. It was painful to watch yet amusing at the same time.
The story was also illogical. It made no sense that a species that communicates in metaphor could ever become a spacefaring people let alone a technologically capable one.
You need precision and exact meaning to create anything as well as to navigate through space. You can't do that by speaking in metaphors.
There are so many other flaws besides that. In order for one person to understand another's metaphor, both person would have to know the meaning of the reference of the metaphor. They would have to know the same history. Both would have to know what Tanagra, Semba, Temba etc. meant. If you were never taught the same history, you wouldn't know what the heck the other guy is referring to.
Besides that, how would you even be able to effectively teach history, if you throw out more metaphor after another. It would just mean piling confusion after more confusion.
I didn't know if I should have laughed or cried after I watched this ep.

Re: TNG Rewatch: 5x02: "Darmok"
I did often wonder about how the Children of Tama learned their myths before they started talking about them and citing them to communicate. It could be that if they are absolutely ingrained in the culture, Tamarian children might learn about them by hearing them cited. I guess that's possible. It would certainly be odd, especially if there's no apparent way to say, "I could use something to drink" or whatever.

Re: TNG Rewatch: 5x02: "Darmok"
The guy tosses you a knife. You jump to conclusions & assume he wants you to fight him with it? He had a damn starship. The bigger balls battle would probably measure up better there than with a handful of luncheon utensils, if that were the case. Picard does very little in the way of TRYING to communicate, as opposed to just trying to figure out what the other guy is saying. That's not the Picard I know
Don't get me wrong though. It's otherwise a very entertaining hour of drama, with wonderful performances from a couple powerhouse actors. I do enjoy this episode, warts and all

Re: TNG Rewatch: 5x02: "Darmok"
Say, there isn't a word for the Finnish "ahkera" or German "fleissig" in English, and the concept has to be described by lengthy phrases or then left incompletely translated. "Hard-working" is a compound expression not unlike the phrases of the Tamarians, and still remains utterly incomplete and insufficient (a slave could be hard-working or even industrious but wouldn't be fleissig); "Eager to work hard without external prompting because this is the societal-religious expectation" is the more proper translation, and puts Tamarians to shame for their brevity!
Were England more protestant in spirit, the concept of fleissig might have been introduced to the language, perhaps even by borrowing the German word as such or slightly altered. Instead of "busy" people, working hard out of fear of their bosses or in order to look good, there could be "flessy" people doing it out of sheer cultural stubbornness. English does a lot of this sort of borrowing; why wouldn't Tamarianese? You just have to recognize when not to over-translate...

Google to Build Giant British HQ
Online technology firm Google has won approval to build a new headquarters in the UK. The company plans to complete its new London headquarters by 2016, giving it an additional 920,000 square feet of office space in the capital.
Google's new UK headquarters includes a lengthy list of extra features and facilities, many of which are based on its California 'Google Campus.' The building will have its own climbing wall, which runs between the floors of the building.
Other features include a 20,000-square foot area for bicycle baking, a running track on the roof of the building, and a swimming pool for employees. The building will be located next to King's Cross train station.
Unlike many other technology firms, Google has chosen not to build high-rise office buildings. The new Google headquarters will be a low-rise development, with seven to 11 stories for offices and other facilities.
Despite its modest height, the building is expected to be one of the largest in King's Cross. Current plans put the building's length at 330 metres, giving it a length that's greater than any city high-rise development, including the 310-metre Shard.
Google's move into King's Cross is expected to attract other technology firms to the area, creating a new technology hub for London. The building will be located in the new King's Cross Central development, which will span over 67 acres.
The development will contain residential buildings, retail shopping malls, and other offices. Google's involvement is seen as a huge benefit for the area, which has never been one of London's major commercial office districts.
Google is fairly new to the property development business, preferring to lease its international offices and avoid major investments in real estate. The new London office will be its third overseas development, after its Paris and Dublin offices.Read more
After almost a decade of decline, former online giant Yahoo has regained the pole position in online traffic. Yahoo's network of web properties attracted more traffic than Google during the month of July – a first for the company since May of 2011.
The company's network of websites attracted 196 million users in July – an increase of 21 percent during the last twelve months. ComScore, which measures web traffic, claims that the company's websites attracted 4.3 million more visitors than Google.
Yahoo has been involved in a long-term turnaround effort aimed at returning the once dominant company to the online top spot. CEO Marissa Mayer has motivated the company to improve its services in order to attract a greater number of users.
Yahoo has revised its homepage and weather services over the past year to attract more traffic from households. The company has also redesigned its email services, which are used by over 281 million people around the world.
Despite the growth in traffic, Yahoo's revenue has thus far failed to impress many in the technology industry. The company earned $1.07 billion in the first quarter – not far below analysts' estimates of $1.08 billion, but far from confidence inspiring.
The user data does not include information for Tumblr, a new web property bought by Yahoo earlier this year. The company spent $1.1 billion to acquire the network of blogs, which has growth to reach more than 300 million worldwide users.
Google, which is significantly more popular than Yahoo for search users, attracted a total of 192 million users in July. Many of these were users browsing Google's video websites YouTube, which displays the company's display advertising product.
While Yahoo's revenue growth is currently failing to keep up with its increase in users, the new traffic is certainly a good sign. As Mayer noted in a conference call with Yahoo employees, it's very rare for an established company to see a surge in traffic after years of gradual decline.Read more
Google's Industry-Leading Staff Turnover Problem
Business August 1, 2013
Despite its rapid growth and current dominance of search, Google has a problem: it can't seem to retain its employees. The Bay Area technology company boasts one of the industry's finest campuses and some of its best salaries, but its employees seem to leave the trendsetting technology company as soon as they arrive.
Read a Google employee handbook and you'll be impressed by the perks. Staff are free to enjoy five-star food at work, benefit from some of the best health insurance available, and attend free yoga classes after work. Mothers are given five months of maternity leave, and 84 percent of employees report being satisfied with their jobs.
Despite this, the average Google employee spends just one year at the company. The search giant, which has boasted a 90 percent market share for several years, has one of the highest turnover rates in Silicon Valley, with young employees leaving for new opportunities as quickly as they walk through the door.
Part of Google's problem is undoubtedly the age of its workforce – unlike other Bay Area firms, which look for long-term employees interested in growing alongside the company – Google tends to hire young professionals. The median age for Google is just 29 years – a point at which many professionals tend to 'career hop.'
Other tech firms have similar figures regarding turnover, although few are as bad as Google. Yahoo pays its employees over $107,000 per year on average, yet retains its talent for just 2.4 years. In other industries, figures are better – ExxonMobil holds on for 6.5 years on average, due to its significantly older workforce.
Despite its incredible staff turnover rate, Google continues to dominate search. The company, however, may want to take a look at its lucrative benefits and think about whether they're really having that much of an effect on employee retention.Read more
As they grow larger, businesses tend to innovate less and focus on proven products and service more. That's the belief of Aberdeen Asset Management executive Martin Gilbert, who claims that large businesses often lose the entrepreneurial spirit which contributed to their initial success as they grow into larger operations.
It's certainly a theory that holds some weight, particularly with many of the leaders of technology switching from a model built on innovation to one that's built around gradual improvement and an increasingly refined product. The result, Mr. Gilbert is quick to say, is the result of having 'more people in the decision making process.'
Leading technology company Google is a fantastic example of the theory in practice, with its recent products often built around improving search – something that has been at the core of Google's business since 1997. Google has increasingly killed off its extra products in favour of improving and optimising its core search function.
Apple, another innovator, has been stuck in a similar rut. Investors and technology industry commentators have voiced their concerns about Apple's lack of brand new products in recent years, claiming that its focus has shifted from creating new things to refining its existing products since the death of co-founder Steve Jobs.
Others in the technology world have dealt with similar problems. Others, however, such as Amazon.com, have innovated more as their businesses – and their market share – grew larger. The company's Kindle and its recent investment in television content have made Amazon.com one of the last decade's top online innovators.
While some companies get caught in a rut as they grow, offering little in the way of innovative products that made them popular in the first place, others seem to make the opposite change. Given the change in some of today's top technology firms, is it unrealistic to think that we could see an entirely different market by 2023?Read more
Microsoft and Google Miss Earnings Targets
BusinessTechnology July 20, 2013
Technology companies Microsoft and Google have both missed earnings targets as poor sales of tablet hardware and online advertising reduced both companies' net income. The two companies are some of the largest in the tech sector, dominating the home software and online search advertising markets respectively.
Google has increased its profits by more than 16 percent in the last year, which is certainly not disappointing news for most technology companies. Despite this, the earnings fell below expectations as analysts had expected the company to see far greater growth as mobile advertising – Google's newest service – gained ground.
Advertising, which drives over 95 percent of Google's total revenue, resulted in a large increase in revenue, with the company earning 15 percent more than in the last twelve months. Most of the growth has come from mobile advertising, but low rates reduced Google's earnings to below-estimate levels.
Google CEO Larry Page has called mobile advertising a 'challenge' and claims that the company needs to embrace the new technology. Google and Facebook, two of the largest online advertising firms by user reach, are both increasingly focusing on mobile advertising products.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has experienced poor sales of its Surface tablet – a web tablet designed to compete with Apple's iPad. The company has a mixed record with hardware investments, as the ill-fated Zune MP3 player also failed to catch on with a mass audience in the face of competition from Apple.
The Redmond-based company made $4.5 billion in the second quarter, with sales of its operating system driving most of its profit. Microsoft has also successfully made its way into the competitive gaming hardware business over the last decade with its Xbox 360 gaming console and the upcoming Xbox One hardware.
Despite profits falling below expectations, both firms remain optimistic about long-term growth. Google's large array of advertisers is increasingly investing in mobile advertisements, while Microsoft's enterprise solutions continue to drive most of its revenue.Read more
The last six months have been difficult for some of the world's largest tech firms, as allegations of tax evasion and profitability issues rob market leaders of their status and public image. From Google to Yahoo!, the giants of the tech world have had an eventful, if not particularly easy, time during 2013.
In May, leading social network Facebook posted revenue of $1.46 billion in the first quarter of the year. Despite the impressive growth – Facebook's revenue was $1.06 billion a year earlier – the company's net income was $219 million during the same quarter, putting its earnings per share at a fairly weak 12 cents.
The social network's growth has largely been attributed to an increase in mobile advertising earnings from users accessing its platform by phone. The ad industry, however, has reported mixed results from Facebook's desktop advertising service, which produces the majority of the company's revenues.
Likewise, former tech leader Yahoo has hit some roadblocks in its path to financial recovery. The company, which once sold more display advertising than any other online firm, struggled with reduced revenues and a core business that's rapidly moving away from advertising revenue and towards developing new products.
Google and Amazon.com, a search advertising firm and online retailer, have faced serious allegations of tax evasion in the United Kingdom. Google, which is the UK's top search engine, is caught up in a scandal regarding its use of Ireland offices to declare income generated in the UK, which some analysts believe is illegal.
Amazon.com is facing a similar situation regarding tax avoidance, which has hurt the well-known online retailer's image. Facebook, which sells advertising to many UK and EU-based companies, also uses Ireland offices for the majority of earnings, leading many to believe that it could be the next firm under the 'tax spotlight.'Read more
Struggling dot-com company Yahoo! Inc. failed to impress analysts and investors as recent revenue forecasts fell below expectations. The dot-com company, which was once one of the largest online advertising firms in the world, reported sales of $1.06 billion in the current quarter, falling below analyst estimates of $1.12 billion.
Total sales during the second quarter of the year also fell below expectations, with a total of $1.07 earned on expectations of $1.08 billion. Yahoo's key source of revenue, advertising, has struggled to sell as increased competition from firms such as Google and Facebook for display advertisers hurt the firm's revenue base.
Yahoo has struggled to return to its former position of dominance in recent years, as firms such as Google and Facebook captured much of the online portal's users. Once the Internet's largest display advertising company, Yahoo's per-quarter revenues of just $1.06 billion put it far behind online search advertising leader Google.
Despite its sluggish advertising performance, Yahoo has benefited from a series of high-profile acquisitions. The company acquired a stake in Chinese wholesale firm Alibaba in 2005 as part of a strategic partnership with Yahoo's Chinese office. The exporting website has grown substantially along with Chinese manufacturing.
The company has been in the spotlight recently due to controversial policies put into place by new CEO Marissa Meyer. The CEO changed Yahoo's policy on remote working, requiring thousands of mobile employees to change their roles and start commuting to Yahoo's network of offices around the United States.
Other controversies involve Yahoo's slipping advertising market share, which has sunk to just 7.9 percent from 9.2 percent in 2012. Rival display network Facebook posted a two percent increase in market share, while search firm Google benefited from a three percent gain, giving it 18 percent of the online display market.Read more
Google's New Project Loon Could Transform the Internet Connectivity Industry
Technology June 16, 2013
Google's latest innovation isn't a social network or online collaboration tool, but a balloon-powered network of Internet connectivity nodes spread across the South Island of New Zealand. Called Project Loon, the new network uses special balloons situated above New Zealand to allow for antenna-based Internet connectivity.
The project will launch later this month in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's sparsely populated South Island. Google's network of high-altitude balloons will be launched from outside Christchurch, providing a connection to a team of volunteer 'test pilots' based in the Canterbury region.
The new network could go global if early tests are successful, bringing a powerful new option to the table for the billions of people that have regular access to home Internet connections, and an innovative solution to the estimated four billion that lack a stable connection.
If successful, the project could also grow into a major competitor for existing DSL and fibre Internet connectivity companies. Google's network lets users connect to the balloon system from a high-powered antenna outside their building, making it possible to bypass the traditional telephone line network for connectivity.
The balloon network is situated approximately 20 kilometres above the surface of the earth, above commercial air routes. The balloons can be strategically lowered and raised in order to make use of wind, allowing the network to travel around the planet, increasing connectivity in sparsely populated regions.
Google's innovative new balloon network is controlled by an algorithm that moves the balloons automatically to achieve maximum coverage. Project Loon is entirely self-powered, with each balloon equipped with solar panels that allow it to extract its daily energy requirements from the direct sun it's exposed to while in space.Read more
Online search firm Google has been in the spotlight recently due to its UK corporate tax scheme. The technology firm, which derives its income from online advertising, is alleged to have diverted billions of dollars of UK-based income through its Ireland office in order to avoid paying UK corporation taxes.
Google executive Eric Schmidt has claimed that the corporation's tax operations are completely legal and ethical, and that the firm's Ireland office is responsible for all of its operations in the UK. The former Google CEO also recommended that the UK tax code be simplified in order to make it easier for foreign technology firms to comply.
Google is by far the UK's largest search engine, boasting a market share in excess of 90 percent. Its Adwords product has earned over £11 billion in revenue during the past five years. MPs and investigators have claimed that Google's total tax payments on the £11.5 billion in turnover amount to little more than £10 million.
While the company's tax arrangements are widely considered to be legal, MPs have called for the online search giant to pay more in UK taxes. Margaret Hodge, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, claims that Google has an obligation to contribute to society through its tax payments.
The Labour MP also claimed that Google's strong sense of morality in other areas – a corporate culture encapsulated in the firm's 'do no evil' slogan – should be causing it to lead the way in paying corporate taxes. Ms. Hodge has called for HMRC to 'staff up and toughen up' in the way it approaches tax avoidance by foreign corporations.
Google is one of several foreign companies that pay very little in corporation tax. A wide range of international corporations, including coffee chain Starbucks and US-based computing firm Apple Inc., are also alleged to engage in tax avoidance.Read more
The media furore surrounding the recent leaks of the PRISM surveillance system has been extensive, with two primary targets in its crosshairs: the American NSA, as well as the Obama Administration. Both have defended their spying activity as being one of several important lines of defence in protecting the United States' security.
The PRISM network depends on communications and technology firms for its data, with companies like AT&T and Verizon granting access to their databases. However, two major participants in the PRISM program – at least on a data access level – are voicing their confusion over their companies' involvement in the program.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and co-founder of Facebook, reported to the media that his pioneering technology company "had never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers." The CEO added that his company would aggressively fight government efforts to obtain user data in bulk.
In a press statement, Apple claimed that they "do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order." The company, like Facebook, denied any knowledge of the PRISM program, claiming that it never released bulk user data.
Google was another technology company to defend its user policies and deny any knowledge of the PRISM program. In a blog post, Larry Page, Google's co-founder claimed that Google had not joined any surveillance program, and that the PRISM program's nature compromised "freedoms we all cherish."
The existence of the PRISM program has pushed further doubts on the privacy of many Facebook, Apple, and Google users. As more information about the extent of the US government's spying comes to light, users may learn more about their data and its security on leading online services.Read more

As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects bad statistics or wishful thinking rather than any mathematical principle. While there is a real theorem that a random variable will reflect its underlying probability over a very large sample, the law of averages typically assumes that unnatural short-term "balance" must occur.[1] Typical applications of the law also generally assume no bias in the underlying probability distribution, which is frequently at odds with the empirical evidence.[citation n
I am quite aware of what I am arguing. The reality is the "Law" is like most law's that govern us. Meaning rather poor.
Since I actually back up most of my data when discussing averages and these concepts, it is more than simple "wishful thinking" as quoted above.
When Nordique forms a coherent argument against what I am saying, I will give credence. Up until now, it's more of "Uh un".
The reality is with a large enough sample size if the odds are 50% that something will occur, after a while it will be statistically around 50%. It might be 50.8%, 49.7%. The larger the same, the closer it will be to 50% - without an outside influence. However, there will be peaks and valleys within that 50%. Those peaks may reach 100%. Those are the peaks in which I am talking about when saying that, eventually, those peaks will benefit us. Sooner or later, the majority of variables will move into our favor. For a time.
So what am I missing here? Is it that you don't agree? If so, with what?

Best regards, May
M., thank you very much for visiting and commenting this photo! Between New Bern in North Carolina and the historic capital of Switzerland Bern (1191) and the canton of Bern is a connection of immigration, since the founders of New Bern are from the Swiss canton of Bern. The name Bern is from Baer, (but that's another story), which in the Swiss-german language means bear, hence its crest with a bear. It's a tradition in the canton of Bern that in nearly every village the restaurant next to the church is called Baeren (based on Baer).
very good photgrapy

Will non-js browser be always able to go to my website (I am afraid that the GWT app will imply that my website will also nedd js) ?
