Be carefull to the State lotteries
I have a lot of doubts about the transparency and regularity of State lotteries, like the italian play called Superenalotto: it consists in choosing 6 numbers and you win the jackpot, when after the drawing of the lottery, you have guessed all 6 numbers.
Now the statistic probability to make it, is one on 622 million of combinations: it is thing very hard but not impossible. However, I comes to think that the play is not so clear.
In fact from December 1997 to the April 2010, the number of jackpots made during the 1550 drawings of the lottery, were equal to 52 with about 80 billion of combinations played.
Now after 13 years with a lot a combinations played, for large number law, the statistic probability should manifest itself in correct way. Now dividing the number of combinations played (80 billion) with the statistic probability to guess all 6 numbers (622 million), we should obtain 128,61 and not 52. It's a number too different for don't make to come doubts. What do you think ?
In my opinion:
There is a difference between statistical probability and real outcome. If you toss a coin, the statistical probability of getting head or tale (i.e, the chance of winning if you play infinite number of times) is 0,5.
80 billion combinations were probably so distributed that fewer winning combinations were played. If all the possible combinations are played and combinations are not repeated then there must be one winning combination. Anyway the real outcome of 52 wins is not far from the theoretical 128 wins.
The lottery system is a way of getting money from people and redistributing it such that people get less money back. Some money should go to the government and some to be used to pay the lottery staff. So people are always on the losing side. But because people are greedy and they want to win the jackpot, they keep playing and losing their money.
Hi Nacir, I seem to understand that you are an expert of statistic. Do you tell me that the numbers 58, 128 are not statistically different, and that it is due to the case ? Bye
Well, I am not an expert. I learnt basic probability theory.
There are 622 million different possible combinations. If 622 million people play lottery it is quite possible that a combination can be played by more than one man and no one gets the jackpot. Sometimes more than one person can have all the 6 right. Does the number 52 mean that 52 persons got the jack pot? may be a jackpot was shared between two or more persons. In that case the number of winning jackpot will be more than 52.
What does 80 billion combinations mean? Were these played in random manner? Some people have their favourite numbers, so we cannot guarantee that these are random combinations. Only 622 million combinations are possible, so many combinations were repeated and we assume that on the average each combination was repeated 128 times. Are you sure that each time only one person got the jackpot?
HI Nacir thank you for our discussion: it has been very interesting. It's true, when jackpot is out came, it was made by more people, but two or little more. It's also possible that to every drawing of lottery, the combinations were not played in manner random, also if a lot of played, was made with computer. However you made me think an aspect that I neglected: the average number of combinations played in every drawing (80 billion/1550 drawing) is equal to little more of 51 million, that is only the 8 % of all, a number too little to obtain a larger number of jackpot. Thank again

Still Promoting It
Update 11/22: I double checked my old post (the last time I saw one of these ads on the L)... I was definitely on a different train. This ad is different and in a different spot. I wonder how many of these things are out there? Promoting a major failure that took place almost two months ago. Maybe since Lasalle Bank (the race sponsors) no longer exists, nobody cares about the bad press?

CLC bio and BioQL release medical genomics plugin
CLC Bio
CLC bio and BioQL have released of the MedQL Variant Prioritiser plugin for CLC Genomics Workbench.
The plugin connects with MedQL's online database to prioritise a list of variants in gene regions based on their degree of association with a given phenotype.
The MedQL database contains more than 20 million articles from Medline, indexed using a dictionary of nearly 300,000 terms from authoritative ontologies such as the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), the Human Disease Ontology, and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM).
Professor at the Center for Medical Genetics and Molecular Medicine at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway, Stefan Johansson, PhD, said: "Making sense of the large amounts of data generated from our exome sequencing projects is a challenging and time consuming task.
"There is a great need for computational approaches that can help us prioritise candidate genes for functional studies."
Director of Global Partner Relations at CLC bio, Mikael Flensborg, added: "We believe MedQL has the potential to be an effective time saver for researchers working with variant prioritisation."
Using CLC Genomics Workbench, a common workflow to detect causative mutations in medical genomics involves read mapping and variant detection.
The result is a list of candidate gene variants that differ from the reference genome.
The MedQL plugin uses an evidence-based approach to prioritise these genes for functional studies and, thereby, allowing researchers to focus their efforts on the most promising candidates.

"Our Save the Dates turned out perfectly! It was very easy to customize and upload our photos. We weren't sure if we wanted navy or blush, so the designer actually created two proofs for us so we could see what we liked better. Delivery was expected on a Wednesday, but came in the Saturday before! The only thing was our box was a little torn, but luckily no damage to our product. I will definitely be using Wedding Paper Divas again!"
"WE are so happy our save the dates were what we excepted and a little more...they're just not only pretty but the service was good and also they sent ours in spanish, for our spanish themed wedding without any problem...Thank U Weddingpaperdivas..."
"We wanted something simple, to the point and fun. This fits it all. Lots of compliments, never get tired of looking at the design. The only thing that could be better is if they let you choose bride and groom features. But overall fantastic!"
"We are very happy with this save the date magnet. The magnet itself is great quality and very fun. We received several compliments. The design team at Wedding Paper Divas is fantastic as they were able to customize the design to have a blonde bride. Also, when we contacted the company about being a few envelopes short, they were quick to send replacements."

Can you think of any activities my 90 year old mom might enjoy? She had been enjoying coloring, but her vision is now so impaired she can no longer see well enough to color. She is also hearing impaired.
My sister has severe tremors. What kind of activities exist for her that don't require the use of her hands because they shake too much. She just sits on the couch all day and I want to get her active instead of just waiting to die.
We just assembled a 9000 piece puzzle (140x190cm) and are wondering how to protect it. We put it into 4 pieces and will glue it on a foamboard (Alufix) and frame it. I would prefer not putting on protective glass because of its weight. I was thinking of some sort of liquid plastification.
Winter outings are especially hard for low functioning adults. Any suggestions?
My mom, age 83, recently was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She was a pretty terrific artist, but now can not concentrate for any length of time so can no longer do her arts and crafts. She is very bored at home just watching TV with the home aide (who does not drive).
I love crosswords and save the ones from the newspaper. Rather than have a pile of old newspapers lying about, I glue them to a piece of 3 ring paper with the answers on the back and keep them in a binder.
I have MS. I can stand, but not walk. I have the use of one hand. My husband would like to take day trips. Sometimes we take the bus to a casino. What is there to do? Beaches, swimming, hiking are out.
Do you know any games to be played sitting around a table for a group of 30 senior ladies, Red Hats. Maybe something such as memory games, cards, etc.
My mother has macqular degeneration, problems with incontinence, dementia, and cannot walk well. Any suggestions to stimulate her mentally and physically would be greatly appreciated. She is 93 years old.
I am a 14 year old girl looking for something to do during weekends. Money is not a problem, but I'm not looking to spend $500. Does anyone know anything?
I totally forgot the name of this movie. I think it was about a girl who was found among wolves as a little kid, maybe as a baby, and taken to a palace.
I want to learn how to play croquet. It looks like fun. Is it difficult to learn to play?
I have a game called "Chips", it comes with a bunch of card board tiles with things like: run of 3 set of 4, this chip counts as 2 free chips, and run of 6, set of 7, no wild cards.
Seriously, take back all that time wasted on TV. Most reality TV can be summed up in fun and even more entertaining ways on webshows that show the choicest highlights.
I love going to school; the only problem is, that it's a holiday for the school. I have to wait until the year is over. I'm bored and I need something to do. Please help me.
How do I get outside? I love being outside. What are someone fun games to do outside? Can you tell me things to do with friends, a group, or just me? Crafts, games, anything outside. thanks:)
The first player lays down ace, two, joker hearts, The second player adds on three, four, and five of hearts and takes joker. Is this correct? Or must you leave the joker and start a new run?
I'm a babysitter and I'm looking for a good, simple, quick game to play.
Please could anyone help with things to do with people with little or no movement skills?
We have dedicated one night a week to be our family fun night. On this night, we set up a themed dinner. The possibilities are endless and we have so much fun deciding what to do.
What is the best book you have ever read, fiction, that you still remember even though it may have been many years ago and why did you like it?
With the holidays fast approaching, and the family being of various ages, from 8 to 80, I would love some ideas to keep everyone entertained and have some fun too! Thanks for anything you can come up with that would not be to expensive.
I'm babysitting a 5 year old girl from 10:00am to 8:00pm every single day. She has gotten bored with most things we do, so I need something creative and I prefer it to be inside, because it's way too hot.
I don't watch much TV and haven't been to the movies in years. I do a huge freezer cooking session in the summer while the kids are at grandma's. During that time, I'd like to rent some DVDs to have on while I am cooking. I like shows like NCIS, CSI and historical documentaries. Any suggestions beside NCIS, CSI, and no Law and Order. I would appreciate suggestions for the documentaries especially. Thanks!
If your movie has a do-it-yourself butter dispenser, you probably hate all the butter soaking the top of the popcorn, while the rest remains dry. Poke one of the theater's straws into the bag, then hold it under the butter spigot.
My friend and I are 15 and 16, we are looking for fun ideas to do during the summer with our friends (boys and girls). We have access to some driving. We would appreciate any ideas! Thank you.

Combine frugality and fun by starting family fun night in the kitchen. Get all of the family together and make pizzas from the leftovers in the refrigerator and a few of the family's favorite toppings.
A frugal lifestyle involves eating more meals at home since dining out is usually an expensive adventure. Whenever you do decide to splurge on a restaurant meal, you can do so more frugally by choosing to drink water...
For family fun, we all go down to the basement and the kids bring their iPods. They each take turns picking their favorite music, and we crank up the volume while we play pool or ping pong.
I raised 3 sons, and Tuesday night was Fun Night. They could choose one board or other game. They took turns for 3 weeks. The fourth week, we played Charades.
My son and I were in the thrift shop looking at movies. My son tapped on my shoulder to get my attention. When I turned to look at him, he was holding a record. He said to me "Have you ever seen one of these things before!"
My daughter and her friends go to drama classes and they're all having a sleepover. Has anyone got any drama game ideas?
At family gatherings we play bingo. I print out the cards on the computer, everyone gets a card and a pencil, but each card is only good for one game. I would like to use shutter bingo cards because they are reusable and I could eliminate all those pencils, but shutter cards are very expensive.
You may not consider the purchase of an ereader as frugal but in my case, it is. Our "local" library is 60 mile round trip. Then the books have to be returned. Consequently I've not been able to enjoy reading a book in several years.
When I take my 3 grand babies to the movies, I line the cup holders with napkins and fill them with popcorn. They work like individual small bowls for the kids. We don't have to keep passing the bucket back and forth between us.
When seeing a movie at the theater, I usually end up buying a large popcorn for an additional 75 cents more to get a free refill, but I never really refill it. So, you not only paid big bucks for a movie, but you just lost an additional 75 cents.
If you make this, please let me know how it is!

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
As low oil prices make naphtha cracking margins in Europe and Asia more competitive, are investments in new, ethane-based petrochemicals capacity in the US and Middle East becoming less attractive?
Yes, ethane cracking is less economical
No, ethane cracking is still the future

I need to assign colours to distinguish between different items. Simple case: order rows of different color according to customer.
I don't want to have the user choose a colour for every customer, I want to do this at runtime.
If there is a single customer I will use "red", if there are two "red" and "white", ...
Of course I can create my
GimmeRandomColour(i: index) own function that uses
i and the
RGB function to create good random colours (but in this case creating nice colours can be tricky). Or I can say if
i is 0 give me clRed, ... (in this way creating many colours can be a problem).
How can I get a "good list of colours" with a acceptable levels of contrast?

Netflix shares plunged 19 percent Thursday as the company announced it expects to lose one million subscribers in the third quarter alone. Market News Video reports the shares actually began to fall after the company lost a crucial partner earlier this month.
"Deal talks with Starz Entertainment fell apart, and the company said it would not renew its contract with Netflix for streaming movies and TV shows from its library. Starz's library includes offerings from Disney and Sony Pictures."
And KTVU reports--backlash from newly increased prices is another reason behind Netflix's falling share value.
"Until September, Netflix offered plans where customers could get DVD rentals and unlimited video streaming for as low as $10 a month. Now, if customers want both the minimum is $16 a month and those higher prices are driving away customers."
And there's another problem--Hollywood. One investor tells CNBC he doubts Netflix will be able to come up with enough cash to pay the industry for the movies it already provides.
"How are they going to pay back that obligation to Hollywood that's now over 2 billion dollars with subs(cribers) slowing. They're going to have to spend more and the reality is at some point Hollywood's going to cut them off and say I'm not going to give you any more content because I don't think you're going to be able to pay it back."
To make matters worse, one analyst tells The Wall Street Journal investors are fearful because even the Netflix's CEO doesn't own direct shares in the company.
"The CEO has sold $1.0 to $1.5 million of stock on almost a weekly basis (total of $32 million) and continues to not own any direct shares."
But Fox Business reports one investor isn't giving up on Netflix just yet.
"He doesn't think that the days are over for Netflix. He gave this stock a buy rating saying that the heightened churn does not fundamentally change the positioning of Netflix as the best investment in the still early stages of a worldwide streaming video explosion."

Saying 'Show me the money' will NOT get you faster service. Also they don't give free samples.
The Big Slab is awesome! Enjoy the smoke ring and the sides -- don't forget the beans . . . they have little bits of BBQ in them!
Daughter loves the kid's sized spaghetti with meat sauce. Don't forget the extra bread sticks!
We need Krispy Kremes in Sun Prairie Wisconsin!
Check out the grilled chicken sandwich and cole slaw for a low fat dining option! And don't forget to say "hi" to the LaBatt's Blue Girls!
The Taco Bravo: An oldie but a goodie! Something about beef and beans together with lettuce, tomato and sauce -- MUY BIEN!
Ask about subscription specials when you call or stop by!
Almost everything on the menu is great -- egg rolls and cashew chicken are my faves, but the sweet and sour chicken and chicken with peapods are excellent too!
COMING SOON TO SUN PRAIRIE! Try the pizza and smoothie (the chicken bake's not bad, either)!
The smoothies are a refreshing and healthy alternative to the burgers and fries on the menu!
The cheese curds are great, but I'm still partial to the Concrete Malt. Do yourself a favor and order a Hot Fudge Concrete Malt!
For dinner, order the salmon -- one of the best pieces of fish I have had ANYWHERE. Simply awesome.
Try the Mikey's Chicken and any brew -- OUTSTANDING!
Order any burger -- but do yourself a favor and order just a half order of fries. A full order of fries is a sh*&load!
What's to say? You've gotta eat at Curly's and take the Lambeau Field tour if you're a Packers fan! GO PACK GO!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
I'd thought it was abandonware, but apparently, Adobe is still selling version 5.5 (so, no updates in YEARS), for $99 USD.
I'll use notepad, or pspad, in a pinch, but when it comes to cranking out big chunks of HTML, I always run back to HomeSite.
Now, we all know that industry types actually pay attention to what gets said here (which is one of the nice things about WebmasterWorld, really), so I was wondering how many people here still rely on HomeSite?
And how many would love to see it updated. And what would those updates be?
For me:
- Better support for Modern CSS
- A preview tab that lets you render in as many browsers as you have installed on your system.
- Updated javascript libraries
Anything else?
I mean, come on Adobe, how hard would it be to put a little love into a product that must be a slow but steady revenue stream? Almost $100 a copy for software that hasn't been touched in, what, 5 years? Longer?
I'm not sure if I would upgrade it or not as I have other tools that I use for the things HomeSite can't do. Now, if they would have kept up with updates and the "other" tools didn't fall into daily use it would be a different story.
Stefan van As is the current developer of TopStyle. If you're a Homesite fan, TopStyle might be something to look at. The new beta [svanas.dynip.com] is quite impressive.

Drive It Day
Drive It Day encourages our 520-plus club members and their supporters plus other historic vehicle enthusiasts to use yesterday's two, three, four or more wheeled vehicles for a day to celebrate the UK's transport heritage at its finest by demonstrating both the wealth of fascinating machines of all types and ages that are kept in this country and highlighting the large numbers of people engaged in this interest.
Plans are already in hand for 24th April 2016, with a FBHVC presence expected at Gaydon, Brooklands and Bicester. As with the 2015 event clubs will be able to make their own routes and visit venues of their choice.
Ken Coad, the lead organiser on FBHVC's heritage team is very encouraged by the high level of interest this year. "Last year was our biggest event ever with the Sunday Times estimation that there were 250,000 historic vehicles on the roads. This year the FBHVC are not marshalling any venues as most car club organisers prefer to plan a route themselves. As usual many motoring venues and museums are anticipating DID visitors.
As usual we look forward to receiving many reports from member clubs.
For 2015 the Bicester Heritage combined "Brunch Scramble" and DiD was a great success attracting over 1,500 vehicles. The FBHVC had a stand, with our secretary Rosy Pugh in attendance.
Click on "Reports" to the left above to see individual reports on this years event.
As Official Supplier of Drive-It Day Rally Plates for the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, DragonFly are pleased to let you know that the Drive-it Day Rally plates are now available for purchase!
We can send out one-off plates direct to any Classic vehicle owner who wishes to participate in this nationwide FBHVC organised event. Clubs can also order in larger quantities so that their members can take advantage of better unit prices. The easiest way to order is online through the DragonFly webstore: order online.

if so, what was it like, what does it involve? I have read some great reviews on a few different websites. I have chronic thoracic pain, thanks guys
Yes i do bowen therapy,have been for almost a year now. My massage therapist is trained in it and started doing it on me because i have so much nerve pain and muscle tenderness that deep tissue massage was out for me. What he does is so delicate you almost don't feel like your having a massage done,but you definitely feel the effects. By the end of the session i feel extremely relaxed and tired and even though he hasn't pushed on my body hard like with deep tissue massages i still feel like i've had one. I also find that the bowen seems to give more lasting effects for me where as the deep tissue massage helps me for only a few days then i'm wanting another one.
No....I dont like that theraby.
Thanks for sharing.
I see this is an old post, but yes, I have tried it. My first session was good; I definitely felt a bit of improvement, but the next session sent me straight to the ER with uncontrollable and unmanageable pain. The movements were very gentle, but it involves nerves, and mine are over sensitive, apparently!
I do know that after treatments, you are expected to drink a lot of water and do a decent, brisk walk to feel the full benefits. It will be interesting to see if any others have had it and hear of their experience.
I have seen Bowen therapy have huge positive effects for all sorts of Body issues.It is especially good for improving your circulation,if you have feet issues or gangreen issues it is a must have in my mind.
The theory is that the specific gentle rolling moves done on certain muscles etc trigger the body to do a self-fix,if at all possible.And yes it works through the nervous system.
I found out about it when I went with a shoulder problem that physio hadn't resolved after several months,which involved a trapped nerve,causing serious stabbing pains when I moved my arm freely.
The treatment was done on a friday,again on the saturday.By sunday,I couldnt make it hurt anymore in any way,& it's never returned,even in older age.
I still do it for friends that want it.And highly recommend it.
If you can find it,as it is not widely common,& you can afford it,because in New Zealand it is not subsidised,but it is in Australia,then Try a few sessions.It really is amazing for a wide variety of body issues,even internal ones.
Cheers & all the best.
Mike --NZ.
The Bowen Technique is not massage, acupressure or chiropractic. There is no manipulation, adjustment or force used. The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers to gently move muscles and tissues. In between each set of moves, the practitioner leaves the room.
The Bowen move that is done on each position is very gentle,but is still a manipulatlation of that particular tissue/tendon or muscle.
Also ,though there is a break period between the different set of moves,it is not necessary that the practictioner leave the room.It's just advised,to allow the client to relax better.But it won't stop the technique working if you stay in the room.
It can be a wonderful help in a lot of instances for many people.Difinately worth a mention.
This is something which has been recommended to me but I'm reluctant to try it at the moment as I don't want anything that could potentially flare up my nerves even more before my plane journey next week. I've heard people swear by acupuncture, although that hasn't worked for me. It could be a case of giving things another go as even if the treatment is effective, it depends on the person delivering it. Having a connection with the person giving you treatment is also a good indicator as to the outcome of the treatment too, I would have thought. If you have faith in the person then you are psychologically already at an advantage than if you don't.
I know this is an older threat, but it does come up on Google search and I wanted to give my experience with Bowen. Back in January, I was dealing with Sciatic pain on my right side. My wife had a friend who has learned the Bowen Therapy technique and recommended that I go see a Bowen professional. After 2 sessions, I felt amazing....and with that, decided to get ahead of myself and do a boat load of house chores...including moving an elliptical machine from my upstairs bonus room to my garage. The next day, I turned the wrong way getting something out of my car and felt something pop. Apparently my sciatic pain was being caused by a bulging disc at L3-L4 and that pop was it herniating. I had an appointment the next day and I went, though I was a bit sore. The treatment got me through the day, but the disc was herniated and proceeded to remind me. I was pretty much bed-ridden for a week...and this was no fault of Bowen, just to clarify. This was my own bravado getting me in trouble. So, after an MRI, steroid shot and some PT and two falls where my right leg essentially folded on itself, I realized my PT practice was over-charging, my doctor gave me zero guidance on this injury ("do you want to talk to a surgeon?" Me: Do I need to? Him: Well, it's up to you)...so I got in touch with my Bowen therapist and he said he thinks he could help. One of my ongoing issues has been weakness in my leg and pain in my thigh (mainly after my falls where I believe I stretched the muscle out). During my session, he adjusted my thigh and wow...I suddenly felt this wash of warmth flowing through my legs and up my back. With one adjustment, he released this mass build up of lactic acid that had been sitting in my thigh. It was amazing...and 2 days later I'm still experiencing lactic acid releases which is great as my body isn't trapping it somewhere. Bowen, so far, is working for me...and I'd recommend it to anyone with muscle/nerve issues.
I have had good success with Bowen Therapy. I was in an auto accident in 2000 and tried chiropractic etcetera none of which ever worked. A friend several years later asked me if I had tried Bowen therapy so I figured what the heck and tried it. I was amazed at how well it worked the first year I went back several times then two years later I had to go back once and now it's been 8 years or so and then my sciatica is bothering me again so I am going back. I have great success with one to two visits and I'm good for at least a year

Nero has possibly one of the most anticipated albums of 2014. There hasn't been too much information regarding this upcoming release, but if you head over to this page on Nero's website, you will be greeted with this message:
Just today, we received an email from Nero with the subject line "13.05.14", and the body only containing the word "SATISFY". If we were to guess, this is an indication of their first single from their new album.
Their twitter account and Facebook page, both of which, until today, hasn't had activity since November 12th, were updated with these posts:
13.05.14— Nero (@NeroUK) May 6, 2014
Fingers crossed they are going to be dropping some new music for us, or at the very least some more information regarding their upcoming album!

Purchasing a package or bundle of CAD software offers distinct advantages over buying a core CAD product and then adding individual modules or extensions later. Yet, how do you choose which bundle is right for your company?
This question matters more than you might think at first. A careful approach to choosing your software bundle can make your company more lean, innovative, and competitive. A haphazard approach leads to wasted money, extended roll out, and lost opportunities.
Here are five tips for choosing the right bundle for your business.
Tip 1. Implement Processes, Not Software
The biggest mistake most companies make when purchasing design and engineering software is ignoring its larger role in product development. CAD work rarely exists in a vacuum. Rather, it's part of an engineering process that may also include bids, analysis, data management, manufacturing systems, etc.
Make sure you focus on the whole picture, rather than just the CAD software. This helps you identify the best core products and capabilities to support your engineering process.
For example, companies of all sizes struggle with managing models, drawings, and all corresponding versions. That's why PDM capabilities should play a part of any CAD strategy. How will you store, query, and update newly created CAD files? When will you need to expand that system? What are the risks of putting off a data management solution? Is the CAD bundle you're evaluating compatible with your overall PDM strategy?
I'm not asking you to boil the ocean. Based on my experiences with other companies, I recommend that you look ahead 24 months. Evaluate how you might optimize your engineering process in that time. Then, buy the bundle that best suits that vision, rather than your immediate CAD needs. In general, this approach provides companies the best savings and strengthens their product design outcomes considerably.
Tip 2. Ask the Right Questions
Most people approach a major software purchase with some selection criteria in mind. But how do you select your selection criteria? That is, how do you know you're asking the right questions? Here are a couple tips from some of the most successful installations:
For smaller design teams. Turn to resellers and vendors for buying guides, customer references, and best practices guidelines. Often these materials will include points you may not have considered. Support? Scalability? Security? File translation? Backwards compatibility? It's easy to miss key questions, especially when you have an immediate problem to solve. And again, focus on engineering process improvement for the initial 24 months, so that you can purchase a package that best supports all your mid-term plans.
For larger teams and projects. A selection committee can make sure you meet the broadest needs. Plus it may help with adoption later on. Consider input from the following for your committee:
- One or two high-level decision makers from the affected engineering and business units.
- Engineering process experts from all affected areas, like design and manufacturing.
- Financial analysts who can determine the ROI of each package with the help of the aforementioned experts.
- A business improvement expert, often available from software vendors. This consultant should have proven experience with other customers of your size, industry, and need. In complex situations, the business improvement expert is especially helpful as you plan the cost and timeframe of implementing the software.
- Legacy systems experts who have a good grasp of the desired engineering processes, understand the current ones, and know the engineering data that must be converted to the new system and process.
Tip 3. Clearly Prioritize Requirements
While prioritizing requirements is largely intuitive, a couple pitfalls for larger teams and projects exist.
For smaller design teams. Prioritize your selection criteria, and map it against the capabilities offered by each of the packages the vendor provides.
For larger projects. Gathering requirements often takes a lot of time and leads to hundreds if not thousands of requirements. Make sure you:
- Clearly identify "must have" processes and features.
- Consider engineering data from legacy systems that must be leveraged with the new CAD software.
Tip 4. Weed Out Costly Exceptions
As you prioritize each requirement, resist the urge to spend 80% of your time focusing on the 1% of your business that is overly complex or exception-based.
A bundle or package saves you money by standardizing and eliminating exception processes and "unique" engineering needs. Use your planning time and investment to get rid of expensive outliers and streamline processes where you can.
Tip 5. Understand Implementation Timeframes
Vendors often tout the speed with which their particular package can be implemented, and for good reason. Time is money in most businesses, and the more quickly a package can go from installation to rollout, the less costly the implementation.
Make sure you know what to expect with regard to rollout. Many companies have relied on vendor estimates, only to be stuck with mounting costs and ever-distant go-live dates, wondering what went wrong. Here are a couple ideas for better outcomes:
- A business improvement expert (described in Tip 2) can help you plan costs and timeframes.
- Explore new technologies like fast-to-install and -deploy PDM software. These solutions are a good choice for smaller organizations—but make sure they'll scale when your company grows in the future.
While it would be impossible at this stage to deliver a perfectly accurate time estimate, knowing that one package may require around six months more time to implement can be a key factor in deciding on one vendor versus another.

James L. Herbert
Thanks, Monica. And again, to those participating, good morning, and welcome to our regular quarterly conference call for investors and analysts. Today, we'll be reporting to you on the results of our first quarter, which ended on the 31st of August. And I'll remind you that some of the statements that are made here today could be termed as forward-looking statements, and these forward-looking statements, of course, are subject to certain risks and uncertainty. The actual results may differ from those that we discuss today. Those risks that are associated with our business are covered in part in the company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition to those of you who are joining us today by live telephone conference, I also welcome those who may be joining by way of simulcast on the World Wide Web. These comments, along with some exhibits, will be available on the Web for approximately 90 days.
Following our comments this morning, we'll entertain questions from participants who are joined on this live conference. And I'm joined today by Lon Bohannon, Neogen's President; and Steve Quinlan, our Chief Financial Officer.
Earlier today, Neogen issued a press release that announced the results of our first quarter the 2012 fiscal year. And once again, we continue the succession of another record-breaking quarter in terms of both revenue and earnings.
As I will discuss in the next few minutes, there were times during the last 3 months that our team of now approximately 700 employees felt some challenges. However, I think all of us once again remember that the toughest thing about success is you have to keep on being a success, and I think the results that we'll report today prove that.
As the press release reported, our revenues increased in the first quarter by 6.5% and to $45.7 million. That compares to $42.9 million in the first quarter of last year. This quarter marked the 78th quarter in the past 83 in which we've shown increased revenues as compared to the year earlier. Given the nature of our business, I even marvel at times at how we only had 5 down quarters in the last 21 years.
Net income for the first quarter was approximately $6 million or $0.25 a share. This is approximately 3% greater than the same quarter last year.
Though this quarter obviously didn't show the strong double-digit growth at the top and the bottom lines that we normally can report to you, I'm reasonably satisfied with the results. Over 41% of our total revenues for the quarter came from international markets. For the past several months, we've been operating in what I would define as a sloppy world economy. Let me quickly say that I don't believe our operations are sloppy. In fact, quite to the contrary.
However, we just had more moving parts in this quarter than we normally expect. In some cases, we delayed shipments to customers because of government-imposed currency transfers, which have now been resolved. In a few cases, our product mix almost turned topsy-turvy and increased revenues came from lower-gross-margin products than they were a year ago.
Our revenues in our GeneSeek operations were down almost $1 million as compared to the prior year because of timing differences from parts of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. A year ago in the first quarter, we satisfied a pent-up demand that we'd been building for several months for a new genomic test, and that bulged that first quarter revenue of last year. However, that same business is now flowing on a more steady basis, and some of it will fall into the remainder of this fiscal year.
Our operating margins for the quarter came in at 20.5%. This is down about 2% compared to the same quarter last year. However, I think many of you remember that it's long been our goal to try to hold the operating margins at around that 20% level. And I think we've been telling you for the past several months that we thought that 20% was about right, and it was a healthy objective and that we'd be continuing to invest more into our expansion efforts to take advantage of overall market growth.
During the quarter, we used some of the cash balance to get better prepared for that growth that I just mentioned. We spent almost $5 million in Kentucky to add a 120,000-square foot facility to enlarge our manufacturing capacity, increase and improve our distribution operations and expand our sales and marketing space. We used about $800,000 in the acquisition of VeroMara labs in Scotland and the consolidation of those labs to our facilities in Ayr, Scotland. This opens up new markets for us in the aquaculture/mariculture area and also some cutting-edge technology related to diagnostic tests to detect important toxins in shellfish.
We spent both financial and management resources during the quarter in expansion areas. This included getting 2 products ready for market launch that employ new technology that we believe has considerable long-term impact. We expected that the first product from each of these new platforms should be released this quarter, in fact one of them perhaps even as early as this week. We also spent considerable effort in increasing manpower during the quarter. We hired 66 new employees to allow us to take advantage of expanding market opportunities going forward.
As I said, all of this is happening in the midst of a lot of moving parts. In the extreme southwestern part of the country, we've seen more severe drought and hot weather than has ever been recorded. Some estimate that as high as 40% of the cattle herds in Texas, the nation's largest cattle producer, have now been liquidated. In other parts of the country, we saw an overabundance of rain, which caused crops to get planted late in the spring and therefore pushed harvest back probably about several weeks as compared to last year. With a few exceptions such as the drought-ridden area, I think that our customer bases pretty much around the world is healthy, but I think the uncertainties have caused them to accumulate cash rather than grow.

All the features of this camera certainly have a goal and the image quality, the sharpness and the colours produced are suberb, even at full resolution. I use it mostly on 7 MPixels , 50 ISO and its image and pixel quality is absolutely comparable to my DSLRs.
the battery compartement is too easily opened
only two lens appertures are available: fully open and f8 (f10 on tele) but there is nothing to complain , f8 does very very well.
