If you have a work permit and want to keep working after your permit has expired, you need to apply for an extension of your work permit. If you have had a permit as an employee and apply before your current permit expires, you are entitled to keep working while waiting for a decision.
If you have been granted a residence permit for other reasons, thereby gaining the right to work you must have had a permit for six months or more to be allowed to keep working while waiting for a decision. This applies to persons who have been granted residence permits for example, for studies or as a relative of someone in Sweden.
Special rules apply for athletes or coaches, au pairs, berry pickers, performers, self-employed persons, trainees, visiting researchers, holders of an EU blue card or long-term residents.
To be able to extend your work permit your salary and other employment terms must have at least matched those in the offer of employment that you received the last time you applied for a work permit.
You must also have had health insurance, life insurance, industrial injury insurance and occupational pension insurance throughout the period in which you had a work permit in Sweden.
You must have had a work permit for six months or more to be allowed to keep working while waiting for a decision.
During the first 24 months, the work permit is only applicable to the specific employer and occupation indicated in your decision. You must apply for a new work permit if you are offered a new job during this period of time. Your previous decision states which kinds of work your permit applies for.
If you have had a work permit for 24 months and are granted an extension, you are permitted to work for a different employer without applying for a new work permit, provided you are in the same occupation. If your new job is in a different occupation, you must apply for a new work permit.
Once you have submitted your application, you are permitted to begin working before receiving a decision, provided that you submitted your application before the previous permit expired. Your new employer is required to have advertised the position in Sweden and within EU/EEA and Switzerland before you begin working.
Learn more about how your employer must have advertised your new job
If you have had a work permit as an employee and worked a total of four years in the last seven years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit. You must have worked for the employer and in the occupation for which you have received a work permit.
Your employer in Sweden initiates the work permit application by completing an offer of employment. Your employer needs information about your name, date of birth, citizenship, education and your e-mail address.
It is important that you have access the e-mail address you give your employer until you have received a decision regarding your application. The Swedish Migration Agency will use this e-mail address to communicate with you throughout the application period.
When your employer has completed an offer of employment you will receive an e-mail with information about how to apply for a work permit.
In the application you provide information about yourself. If you have a family which also needs residence permits you apply for their permits at the same time. You should also check that the information about your employment terms in the offer of employment corresponds with what you and your employer have agreed on.
The following documents are to be scanned or photographed and sent with your application
If your passport is about to expire, you should renew it as you cannot obtain a permit for longer than the validity of your passport.
If you have had a work permit and worked a total of four years in the last seven years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit.
What to send with your application
If your family did not apply for permits when you applied for a work permit the last time and are now moving to Sweden you must also include
The documents should be translated to Swedish or English by an authorised translator. Copies of original documents should always be included.
Learn more about permits for your family and how they should visit the Swedish embassy or consulate general to receive residence permit cards. Applies for family members currently outside of Sweden.
In most cases you must pay a fee. You can pay using Visa or Mastercard. When the fee is paid you submit your application. You and your employer will receive an e-mail confirming that your application has been submitted. The Migration Agency will contact you if it needs more information.
If you have submitted an application for extension you are entitled to remain in Sweden until the Migration Agency has made a decision. You are also entitled to keep working for your employer if the application is submitted before your current permit expires.
Remember that you are only entitled to keep working during the waiting period if your application is received by the Migration Agency before your previous permit expires.
For the Swedish Migration Agency to make a decision about your application, all the details need to be filled in and all necessary documents attached. This means that the processing time will be shorter if all the necessary information is included from the start than if information is added afterwards.
Note that the Migration Agency may in some cases need to further examine your application even if you have included all the required information and documents.
If you are travelling abroad as your permit expires you may have trouble re-entering Sweden before your new permit is approved. You may need to await your new permit outside of Sweden.
If you receive a permit you will also receive a residence permit card. The card proves that you have permission to reside in Sweden and contains information such as your fingerprints and a photograph. You therefore need to book an appointment at the Migration Agency to be photographed and fingerprinted as soon as possible. You need to do this even if you have previously had a residence permit card, as your photograph and fingerprints are not saved.

You will receive an e-mail confirming that a decision has been made. The actual decision is then sent to your address in Sweden. Your employer will also receive a notification about the decision by mail.
You may be granted a work permit for the duration of the employment but never for longer than the validity of your passport. A work permit can be obtained for a maximum of two years at a time. If it is difficult for the Migration Agency to determine how long the employment will last, you may obtain a work permit for a shorter period of time. When the residence permit card is ready it is sent to you within about a week.
When you have obtained a work permit as an employee and have worked a total of four years in the last seven years, you can be granted permanent residence. Your permanent residence permit is valid as long as you are living in Sweden. Keep in mind that if you have spent significant parts of the permit period outside of Sweden or not been working, this may affect your chances of receiving a permanent residence permit.
If the Swedish Migration Agency refuses your application, you can appeal the decision within three weeks from the date when you were informed of the decision. Your decision contains information about how to do so.
If you end your employment or if you are offered work by another employer
If you cannot apply online you fill in the form Application for Swedish work permit – for applicants currently in Sweden, no 151011. If your family in Sweden also needs residence permits each family member must submit their own application. The application form specifies which documents to enclose.

A new strain of influenza virus found in harbor seals could represent a threat to wildlife and human health, according to the authors of a study appearing July 31 in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology. It is crucial to monitor viruses like this one, which originated in birds and adapted to infect mammals, the authors say, so that scientists can better predict the emergence of new strains of influenza and prevent pandemics in the future.

What kind of information do children and infants take into account when learning new words? And to what extent do they need to rely on interpreting a speakers intention to extract meaning? A paper by Morse, Cangelosi and Smith (2015), published in PLoS One, suggests that bodily states such as body posture might be used by infants to acquire word meanings in the absence of the object named. To test their hypothesis, the authors ran a series of experiments using a word learning task with infants—but also a self-learning robot, the iCub.

Future tense and saving money: Small number bias
Last week saw the release of the latest Roberts & Winters collaboration (with guest star Keith Chen). The paper, Future Tense and Economic Decisions: Controlling for Cultural Evolution, builds upon Chen's previous work by controlling for historical relationships between cultures. As Sean pointed out in his excellent overview, the analysis was extremely complicated, taking over two years to complete and the results were somewhat of a mixed bag, even if our headline conclusion suggested that the relationship between future tense (FTR) and saving money is spurious. What I want to briefly discuss here is one of the many findings buried in this paper — that the relationship could be a result of a small number bias.
One cool aspect about the World Values Survey (WVS) is that it contains successive waves of data (Wave 3: 1995-98; Wave 4: 1999-2004; Wave 5: 2005-09; Wave 6: 2010-14). This allows us to test the hypothesis that FTR is a predictor of savings behaviour and not just an artefact of the structural properties of the dataset. What do I mean by this? Basically, independent datasets sometimes look good together: they produce patterns that line up neatly and produce a strong effect. One possible explanation for this pattern is that there is a real causal relationship (x influences y). Another possibility is that these patterns aligned by chance and what we're dealing with is a small number bias: the tendency for small datasets to initially show a strong relationship that disappears with larger, more representative samples.
Since Chen's original study, which only had access to Waves 3-5 (1995-2009), the WVS has added Wave 6, giving us an additional 5 years to see if the initial finding holds up to scrutiny. If the finding is a result of the small number bias, then we should expect FTR to produce stronger effects with smaller sub-samples of data; the initial effect being washed out as more data is added. We can also compare the effect of FTR with that of unemployment and see if there are any differences in how these two variables react to more data being added. Unemployment is particularly useful because we've already got a clear casual story regarding its effect on savings behaviour: unemployed individuals are less likely to save than someone who is employed, as the latter will simply have a greater capacity to set aside money for savings (of course, employment could also be a proxy for other factors, such as education background and a decreased likelihood to engage in risky behaviour etc).
What did we find? Well, when looking at the coefficients from the mixed effect models, the estimated FTR coefficient is stronger with smaller sub-samples of data (FTR coefficients for Wave 3 = 0.57; Waves 3-4 = 0.72; Waves 3-5 = 041; Waves 3-6 = 0.26). As the graphs below show, when more data is added over the years a fuller sample is achieved and the statistical effect weakens. In particular, the FTR coefficient is at its weakest when all the currently available data is used. By comparison, the coefficient for employment status is weaker with smaller sub-samples of data (employment coefficient for Wave 3 = 0.41; Waves 3-4 = 0.54; Waves 3-5 = 0.60; Waves 3-6 = 0.61). That is, employment status does not appear to exhibit a small number bias, and as the sample size increases we can be increasingly confident that employment status has an effect on savings behaviour.
So it looks like the relationship between savings behaviour and FTR is an artefact of the small number bias. But it could be the case that FTR does have a real effect albeit a weaker one — we've just got a better resolution for variables like unemployment and these are dampening the effect of FTR. All we can conclude for now is that the latest set of results suggest a much weaker bias for FTR on savings behaviour. When coupled with the findings of the mixed effect model — that FTR is not a significant predictor of savings behaviour — it strongly suggests this is a spurious finding. It'll be interesting to see how these results hold up when Wave 7 is released.
Future tense and saving money: no correlation when controlling for cultural evolution
This week our paper on future tense and saving money is published (Roberts, Winters & Chen, 2015). In this paper we test a previous claim by Keith Chen about whether the language people speak influences their economic decisions (see Chen's TED talk here or paper). We find that at least part of the previous study's claims are not robust to controlling for historical relationships between cultures. We suggest that large-scale cross-cultural patterns should always take cultural history into account.
Does language influence the way we think?
There is a longstanding debate about whether the constraints of the languages we speak influence the way we behave. In 2012, Keith Chen discovered a correlation between the way a language allows people to talk about future events and their economic decisions: speakers of languages which make an obligatory grammatical distinction between the present and the future are less likely to save money.
Cognitive Linguistics and the Evolution of Language
On Tuesday, July 21st, this year's International Cognitive Linguistics Conference will host a theme session on "Cognitive Linguistics and the Evolution of Language" co-organized by three Replicated Typo authors: Michael Pleyer, James Winters, and myself. In addition, two Replicated Typo bloggers are co-authors on papers presented in the theme session.
The general idea of this session goes back to previous work by James and Michael, who promoted the idea of integrating Cognitive Linguistics and language evolution research in several conference talks as well as in a 2014 paper – published, quite fittingly, in a journal called "Theoria et Historia Scientiarum", as the very idea of combining these frameworks requires some meta-theoretical reflection. As both cognitive and evolutionary linguistics are in themselves quite heterogeneous frameworks, the question emerges what we actually mean when we speak of "cognitive" or "evolutionary" linguistics, respectively.
I might come back to this meta-scientific discussion in a later post. For now, I will confine myself to giving a brief overview of the eight talks in our session. The full abstracts can be found here.
In the first talk, Vyv Evans (Bangor) proposes a two-step scenario of the evolution of language, informed by concepts from Cognitive Linguistics in general and Langacker's Cognitive Grammar in particular:
The first stage, logically, had to be a symbolic reference in what I term a words-to-world direction, bootstrapping extant capacities that Autralopithecines, and later ancestral Homo shared with the great apes. But the emergence of a grammatical capacity is also associated with a shift towards a words-to-words direction symbolic reference: words and other grammatical constructions can symbolically refer to other symbolic units.
Roz Frank (Iowa) then outlines "The relevance of a 'Complex Adaptive Systems' approach to 'language'" – note the scarequotes. She argues that "the CAS approach serves to replace older historical linguistic notions of languages as 'organisms' and as 'species'".
Sabine van der Ham, Hannah Little, Kerem Eryılmaz, and Bart de Boer (Brussels) then talk about two sets of experiments investigating the role of individual learning biases and cultural transmission in shaping language, in a talk entitled "Experimental Evidence on the Emergence of Phonological Structure".
In the next talk, Seán Roberts and Stephen Levinson (Nijmegen) provide experimental evidence for the hypothesis that "On-line pressures from turn taking constrain the cultural evolution of word order". Chris Sinha's talk, entitled "Eco-Evo-Devo: Biocultural synergies in language evolution", is more theoretical in nature, but no less interesting. Starting from the hypothesis that "many species construct "artefactual" niches, and language itself may be considered as a transcultural component of the species-specific human biocultural niche", he argues that
Treating language as a biocultural niche yields a new perspective on both the human language capacity and on the evolution of this capacity. It also enables us to understand the significance of language as the symbolic ground of the special subclass of symbolic cognitive artefacts.
Arie Verhagen (Leiden) then discusses the question if public and private communication are "Stages in the Evolution of Language". He argues against Tomasello's idea that ""joint" intentionality emerged first and evolved into what is essentially still its present state, which set the stage for the subsequent evolution of "collective" intentionality" and instead defends the view that
these two kinds of processes and capacities evolved 'in tandem': A gradual increase in the role of culture (learned patterns of behaviour) produced differences and thus competition between groups of (proto-)humans, which in turn provided selection pressures for an increased capability and motivation of individuals to engage in collaborative activities with others.
James Winters (Edinburgh) then provides experimental evidence that "Linguistic systems adapt to their contextual niche", addressing two major questions with the help of an artificial-language communication game:
(i) To what extent does the situational context influence the encoding of features in the linguistic system? (ii) How does the effect of the situational context work its way into the structure of language?
His results "support the general hypothesis that language structure adapts to the situational contexts in which it is learned and used, with short-term strategies for conveying the intended meaning feeding back into long-term, system-wider changes."
The final talk, entitled "Communicating events using bodily mimesis with and without vocalization" is co-authored by Jordan Zlatev, Sławomir Wacewicz, Przemysław Żywiczyński, andJoost van de Weijer (Lund/Torun). They introduce an experiment on event communication and discuss to what extent the greater potential for iconic representation in bodily reenactment compared to in vocalization might lend support for a "bodily mimesis hypothesis of language origins".
In the closing session of the workshop, this highly promising array of papers is discussed with one of the "founding fathers" of modern language evolution research, Jim Hurford (Edinburgh).
But that's not all: Just one coffee break after the theme session, there will be a panel on "Language and Evolution" in the general session of the conference, featuring papers by Gareth Roberts & Maryia Fedzechkina; Jonas Nölle; Carmen Saldana, Simon Kirby & Kenny Smith; Yasamin Motamedi, Kenny Smith, Marieke Schouwstra & Simon Kirby; and Andrew Feeney.
A Note on Dennett's Curious Comparison of Words and Apps
I continue to think about Dan Dennett's inadequate account of words-as-memes in his paper, The Cultural Evolution of Words and Other Thinking Tools (PDF), Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, Volume LXXIV, pp. 1-7, 2009. You find the same account in, for example, this video of a talk he gave in 2011: "A Human Mind as an Upside Down Brain". I feel it warrants (yet another) long-form post. But I just don't want to wrangle my way through that now. So I'm just going to offer a remark that goes a bit beyond what I've already said in my working paper, Cultural Evolution, Memes, and the Trouble with Dan Dennett, particularly in the post, Watch Out, Dan Dennett, Your Mind's Changing Up on You!.
In that article Dennett asserts that "Words are not just like software viruses; they are software viruses, a fact that emerges quite uncontroversially once we adjust our understanding of computation and software." He then uses Java applets to illustrate this comparison. I believe the overstates the similarity between words and apps or viruses to the point where the comparison has little value. The adjustment of understanding that Dennett calls for is too extreme.
In particular, and here is my new point, it simply vitiates the use of computation as an idea in understanding the modeling mental processes. Dennett has spent much of his career arguing that the mind is fundamentally a computational process. Words are thus computational objects and our use of them is a computational process.
Real computational processes are precise in their nature and the requirements of their physical implementation – and there is always a physical implementation for real computation. Java is based on a certain kind of computational objects and processes, a certain style of computing. But not all computing is like that. What if natural language computing isn't? What happens to the analogy then? Continue reading
How spurious correlations arise from inheritance and borrowing (with pictures)
James and I have written about Galton's problem in large datasets. Because two modern languages can have a common ancestor, the traits that they exhibit aren't independent observations. This can lead to spurious correlations: patterns in the data that are statistical artefacts rather than indications of causal links between traits.
However, I've often felt like we haven't articulated the general concept very well. For an upcoming paper, we created some diagrams that try to present the problem in its simplest form.
Spurious correlations can be caused by cultural inheritance
Above is an illustration of how cultural inheritance can lead to spurious correlations. At the top are three independent historical cultures, each of which has a bundle of various traits which are represented as coloured shapes. Each trait is causally independent of the others. On the right is a contingency table for the colours of triangles and squares. There is no particular relationship between the colour of triangles and the colour of squares. However, over time these cultures split into new cultures. Along the bottom of the graph are the currently observable cultures. We now see a pattern has emerged in the raw numbers (pink triangles occur with orange squares, and blue triangles occur with red squares). The mechanism that brought about this pattern is simply that the traits are inherited together, with some combinations replicating more often than others: there is no causal mechanism whereby pink triangles are more likely to cause orange squares.
Spurious correlations can be caused by borrowing
Above is an illustration of how borrowing (or areal effects or horizontal cultural inheritance) can lead to spurious correlations. Three cultures (left to right) evolve over time (top to bottom). Each culture has a bundle of various traits which are represented as coloured shapes. Each trait is causally independent of the others. On the right is a count of the number of cultures with both blue triangles and red squares. In the top generation, only one out of three cultures have both. Over some period of time, the blue triangle is borrowed from the culture on the left to the culture in the middle, and then from the culture in the middle to the culture on the right. By the end, all languages have blue triangles and red squares. The mechanism that brought about this pattern is simply that one trait spread through the population: there is no causal mechanism whereby blue triangles are more likely to cause red squares.
A similar effect would be caused by a bundle of causally unrelated features being borrowed, as shown below.
Tone and Humidity: FAQ
Everett, Blasi & Roberts (2015) review literature on how inhaling dry air affects phonation, suggesting that lexical tone is harder to produce and perceive in dry environments. This leads to a prediction that languages should adapt to this pressure, so that lexical tone should not be found in dry climates, and the paper presents statistical evidence in favour of this prediction.
Below are some frequently asked questions about the study (see also the previous blog post explaining the statistics).
- What about Swedish / Tibeto-Burman languages / Language X?
- Why did you do the fancy statistics?
- What's the prediction about historical change? Do humid languages gain tone or dry languages lose tone?
- Why did you break languages down into two tonal categories, complex and non-complex categories?
- All languages use pitch, is there evidence that lexical tone especially affected?
- How did you assign a humidity value to each language?
- What about languages spoken over large areas?
- Are tone languages harder to learn in dry countries?
- What are the implications for linguistics?
- Does this theory apply only to tone, or to other aspects of language, too?
- Does the climate affect other aspects of culture, like singing?
Reminder for upcoming conferences
The deadline is approaching for several relevant call for papers:
At this year's International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Glasgow there will be a special interest group on the Evolution of our phonetic capabilities. It will focus on the interaction between biological and cultural evolution and encourages work from different modalities too. The deadline is 16th Feb. The call for papers is here.
There's also a special discussant session on Sound change and speech evolution at ICPhS headed by Andy Wedel. The deadline for the actual conference is 1st Feb. Call for Papers here.
The next event in the ways to (proto)language conference is being held in Rome! The deadline is also 1st Feb. Call for Papers here.
This year's CogSci is being organised by the guys at Cognitive and Information Sciences at the University of California in Merced, who do some great stuff related to language evolution. The deadline is 1st Feb as well, and the call for paper is here.
Happy submitting!
The Vocal Iconicity Challenge!
Do you fancy the prospect of putting your communication skills to the test and winning $1000? If so, you should probably go and check out The Vocal Iconicity Challenge: http://sapir.psych.wisc.edu/vocal-iconicity-challenge/
Devised by Gary Lupyan and Marcus Perlman, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the aim of the game is to devise a system of vocalizations to communicate a set of Paleolithic-relevant meanings. The team whose vocalizations are guessed most accurately will be crowned the Vocal Iconicity Champion (and win the $1000 Saussure Prize!). More information is on their website.
Evolve an App Name
Edit: The results are out!
I'm working with the Language in Interaction project to create an App game about linguistic diversity. It's a game where you listen to several recordings of people talking and have to match the ones who are speaking the same language. It's quite a lot like the Great Language Game, but we're using many lesser-known languages from the DOBES archive.
But first – we need a name. Help us create one with the power of Iterated Learning!
Click to take part in our 1-minute experiment to evolve an app name.
We'll throw some app names at you, you try to remember them, then we throw your names at someone else.
Here's a screenshot of the App in development:
(P.S.: I've done this kind of thing before to evolve a band name)

As you may or may not be able to tell by looking at my avatar, I am a huge Criminal Minds fan. After listening to my friend go on and on about it for around a year, I decide to see what the fuss was about. My first initial thought was that it was boring, too informational, and out of my lack of interest I decided not to watch it again. Turns out, that was just the first episode and not the whole show that was like that. So three months later I found my self watching it again and I absolutely loved it, so here I am now!
Most of my work will mostly be Criminal Minds, the main character mostly probably being Dr. Spencer Reid as he is my favourite but at some point I may just write something different.
If you have any suggestions of stories that you think I might like, send me a message! Otherwise, feel free to take a look at my stories when I post them.

long dash quote
I am Bible Module. It will be in Nenets a small people groups. It can only be for my personal use because it is copyrighted.
To my surprise I actually have manged to get the first 10 verses in chapter 1 to work with both GnomeSword and Bibletime
When it comes to quotes with Nenets it not strait forward as they have letters in their alphabet which looks like the same a quote. Instead the Nenets Bible use a long dash quote ―.
In a sword manual I read you can have curly quotes by inputting the HTML value.
I tried the same with the long dash quote which I believe the xml value is  213;
(note. I am leaving a gap in the middle otherwise you would see the ― insted)
so a example I tried in English is
<verse sID="Luke.1.13" osisID="Luke.1.13"/>But the angel said to him,
<q marker=" 213;" > Don't be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. </q>
<verse eID="Luke.1.13" osisID="Luke.1.13" />
also with the who quote
<verse sID="Luke.4.4" osisID="Luke.4.4"/>Jesus answered him,<q who="Jesus" marker=" 213;" > saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.</q><verse eID="Luke.4.4" osisID="Luke.4.4" />
with GnomeSword I get diplayed the following
" sID="q1"/> in the first example
"> in the second example
So help would be appreciated.

Stem Cell, Bone Marrow Transplants Both Benefit Leukemia Patients
Latest Cancer News
MONDAY, Feb. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Long-term survival rates are similar for leukemia patients who've had either peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or bone marrow transplants, a new European study says.
The study began with 329 leukemia patients who received either PBSC or bone marrow transplants from a matched sibling donor between 1995 and 1999. Detailed information was collected on all the patients who survived longer than three years after their transplant.
Ten years after transplantation, 49.1% of PBSC recipients and 56.5% of bone marrow transplant recipients were still alive. Chronic graft versus host disease was more common among PBSC transplant patients (73%) than among bone marrow transplant patients (54%), and more PBSC recipients needed immunosuppressive treatment five years after transplantation (26% vs. 12%). But this did not affect the PBSC recipients' general health status or their ability to return to work, the study found.
The researchers also noted a trend toward improved, but not statistically significant, leukemia-free survival and overall survival after bone marrow transplant in patients with acute leukemias. Among patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 10-year leukemia-free survival probability was 28.3% in the bone marrow transplant group, compared with 13% in the PBSC transplant group.
In patients with acute myeloid leukemia, the rates were 62.3% for bone marrow transplant and 47.1% for PBSC transplant. For patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, the rates were 40.2% for bone marrow transplant and 48.5% for PBSC transplant.
"This update comparing two important stem cell sources did not find differences in survival after 10-year follow-up. However, subgroup analyses did reveal notable differences in survival in patients with acute leukemias between those who received allogeneic blood cells and those who received bone marrow, while no differences were seen in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, the researchers wrote.
"Our observations support previous reports that different patient groups might still benefit from transplantation with bone marrow," they concluded.
The study was published online Jan. 31 in The Lancet Oncology.

An intermediary (or go-between) is a third party that offers intermediation services between two trading parties. The intermediary acts as a conduit for goods or services offered by a supplier to a consumer. Typically the intermediary offers some added value to the transaction that may not be possible by direct trading.
Common usage includes the insurance and financial services industry where e.g. mortgage brokers, insurance broker, and financial advisers offer intermediation services in the supply of financial products such as mortgage loans, insurance, and investment products.
In barter, the intermediary is a person or group who stores valuables in trade until they are needed, parties to the barter or others have space available to take delivery of them and store them, or until other conditions are met. In a larger sense, an intermediary can be a person or organization who or which facilitates a contract between two other parties.
The Internet is creating a transparent awareness on the threats and opportunities available to automate intermediaries in many industries.
Intermediaries can be classified as merchant intermediaries or as accountant intermediaries. Bailey and Bakos (1997) analyzed a number of case studies and identified four roles of electronic intermediaries including information aggregating, providing trust, facilitating and matching.[1][2]

Watching Cable TV in Wedowee, AL
Here's some info you might be interested in knowing about cable TV in Wedowee, AL. One-third of Americans have at least 4 televisions, and 97% of the population watches regularly scheduled TV. Because 72% of all TV viewers bundle cable with Internet, it only makes sense that 48% of them stream some content online. In Wedowee, that means there are 273 people with multiple televisions, 802 people watching scheduled programming, 595 bundling their cable services and 397 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

I thought this was a joke when I read it, but evidently not. If you want a quick way to get to all the settings on Windows 7, GodMode is it. How?
Add a new folder to your desktop and name it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} - you will now see the icon above on your desktop and a pretty long list of items. Below is just a small sample.

well CES is over so this is a bit last posting but I liked the graphic so much I couldn't resist. Initially I was downbeat about the lack of Microsoft stuff on there but as I said in a post last week, our gig is software. Also, we've argubaly had more of a focus on enterprise software of late. Anyway….it's an enjoyable infographic

Pictionaire is a collaboration between Andy Wilson and others at Microsoft Research with Björn Hartmann at the University of California, Berkeley. It's a touchscreen table (4ft x 6ft) which is positioned beneath a ceiling-mounted camera and projector which can "see" and respond to objects placed on the table.
In the example above you can see a user with a sketchpad who can transfer information off the paper on to the table as a digital object. You can also do the opposite to allow "tracing" of content from the digital space to the analog space. It also supports wireless keyboard.
As with lots of these things, the video is way better than my explanation so click play. I think you may like it.
[update] I just showed this to an architect I know and they were blown away saying that could revolutionise their industry. They then asked me "who makes it". When I said "Microsoft" I got a pleasantly surprised look. "nice" was the answer :)
via New Scientist…though I can't help thinking it should also be via Wired, BBC, Fast Company etc etc. Gizmodo have it too though

I have code that uses raw pointers throughout.
It needs to call a method that takes the raw pointer into a shared_ptr. This method is not under my control, belonging to an external api. I cannot just pass the pointer to the shared_ptr because when it will be deleted when the shared_ptr goes out of scope in the method (when the method returns).
Do I have any option other than making my raw pointer a shared_ptr in my internal code?

Wait a few decades, Michael. Then every month, every year will feel short.
Out of the mouths of babes….
They call these the "Golden Years". Why? Because every time you stand up, you feel like you have to pee.
@blueskies That is funny Good one
Spring always comes. At least by July.
I don't mind the cold…don't like the wind. I don't mind the summer…don't like the humidity!! I know, I' m fussy!!
I don't love the cold, but I do appreciate having 4 seasons with a cold winter. Makes me appreciate spring so much more!
We've had "spring behavior" in our trees and irises 3 times already! now we have winter!
Blah! Will we have enough cold to kill the mosquitoes? Doubt it!
In the low country of South Carolina, the Azalias have already begun to bloom with a fury! Summerville's Azalia Festival has had to change their name to Flowertown Festival, since all the azalias have already bloomed and gone by the time they have it.
I agree with you since I sweat bullets in the humidity. But I am getting tired of winter.
Lynn's Notes:
In Vancouver where I grew up, February could be four weeks of cold, bone-chilling rain. Now that I live in Ontario, February is a month of safe outdoor activity. Snow machines, and even trucks, ply the surface of the lakes. With the consistent low temperature driving can even be easier. Some folks look forward to February. Fishermen and skiers wait all year for a time when they can thoroughly enjoy their sport. Friends ask me which I prefer: the rain of the west coast or the cold of Ontario, and it's a toss-up. For me, either way, the month of February will always be far too long!
Some people steadfastly maintain Spring or even Summer wear. But then it doesn't get very cold for very long here in S. Texas.
Spend February in Mexico if you can!!!!!
No, Susan, you're not alone. While we don't get the snow and freezing temps, it gets pretty cold around here at night. It sure beats the 100+ temps in the summertime! I can always put on a jacket in the winter. I can't always strip down enough to be comfortable in the summer (especially not in public).
A Will Rogers movie was where his daughter mused about meeting a great guy and how the prom was next year; to which a year takes so long to pass. Will Rogers remarked: "When you start paying taxes, you will not think a year takes too long to pass."
I'm a weather wimp. I live on the central California coast where the temperature averages from 50 to 75 degrees year round. I'll never leave! Woo-hoo!

Why this woman cares about a manâs money
I don't get it. Why are CL men always complaining about women not paying for dates or judging them based on how much money they have? Who are these women? I have never met women like that. I am not friends with or related to any of these women.
Let me lay it out for you: I
care about how successful you are, however you define that in your own mind. But I don't care about it more than any other area, and I don't care about it for the reasons that you think:
1. Your ego
I am successful. With my career and my investments and my assets. I have a prestigious job. I am ambitious and I work hard. I have accomplished a lot at a young age. And I want a man who is not the least bit threatened by that! I also want a man that I can look up to and admire. It is only natural for me to want you to be bigger and taller and stronger and yes, at least a smidgen more successful than me. We are both more comfortable that way. It is only practical that we be reasonably well matched.
2. Our relationship
The two biggest reasons why relationships break up are sex and money. And having
more money
is not the solution. I just want it to be a settled issue. I want you to be happy and fulfilled in your chosen field and able to manage your money well. I never cared about this until I had a serious relationship that was ruined by his business failures and bankruptcy and lack of direction and constant stress about money. I would rather have a man who manages a modest income in a healthy way than a man who makes six figures and is hounded by debt and consumed by financial stress.
3. Our future together
I like to set goals and accomplish them. I am always working to be the best version of myself in all areas of life. Life is all about learning and growing, at least to me. So naturally, I am moving forward in the area of finances, career, etc. I don't want to leave you behind. If we want to consider a long-term relationship, we need to make sure that we have similar or at least compatible goals, and that we can support each other towards those goals, rather than undermine each other's progress.
4. Maturity
If you say that you are ready to meet your life partner and that you are looking for commitment, but you have done no planning and preparation toward those goals, I'm not going to believe you. If you are in your 30s or 40s and you are still spending all your money on toys, I am not impressed. How we handle our money says a lot about out maturity in general. I am looking for someone who has long-term goals that he is sacrificing for today. I am doing the same. Men especially, link their identity with what they do for a living. It is a healthy sign to see someone growing and challenging themselves in the area of career, business, income, finances, etc.
Here is how I handle finances with someone I am dating:
I let him pay for the first few dates, which is not a big investment on his part. Coffee, drinks, a lunch, a couple of dinners or movie tickets. However, I do my part to respect his budget (follow his lead, never order expensive items, etc.) I never miss an opportunity to contribute, such as leaving the tip. And incidentally, I'm sure that I invest as much or more in the form of clothes and shoes and perfume and jewelry and haircut/color and pedicures/manicures, etc., etc. It is not cheap to look the way a man wants a woman to look! I bet you that we break even at the end of the day. :-)
After the initial stages, I start treating and buying and splitting the check and shouldering 50% of the expenses of our time together. The only exception is if he really wants to do something that I cannot afford, and if it is worth it to him for me to be there, I will let him pay (within reason). It is the same principle as spending money on food, drinks, decorations, etc. for a party and inviting guests to join you. It's your choice. (And I have chosen to stay home at times, if I truly couldn't afford to go.)
We may buy each other little gifts or surprise each other with little gestures, but I do not allow him to spend an inordinate amount of money on me. It is not appropriate. It would create an unhealthy imbalance in our relationship. Neither of us should feel a financial obligation to each other. We should both feel at all times that if we walked away, no one was taking a greater loss.
On the other side of the coin, I won't allow him to take advantage of my generosity or mooch off of me. It does neither of us any good. The price of me supporting him is his self-respect, and without that, we have no hope of a relationship (or of a rewarding sex life). Of course, things are different in marriage. It is like a business merger. We become a single "corporation." If one of us is disabled or unable to contribute, the other takes up the slack. But while we are just dating, as a wise investor, I will not risk my income by investing it without adequate legal protection.
To the men who post on CL
To the men who complain about the "key words" that women put in CL ads, such as "ambitious" or "goal-oriented" or "established" or "financially secure": why are you so threatened by that? If you have a job that you enjoy and if you manage your money well, you have nothing to be afraid of. You should be asking the same questions of us! Anyone, male or female, who has a consistent pattern of problems with paying their bills or with bad credit or with not saving or with living above their means should raise red flags! This is not healthy! It will create problems down the road!
I don't care about your income
Men, let me be clear: I don't care how much you make. It doesn't affect me or my life. You may have a bigger house than I do or a fancier car, but you live in your house and I live in mine. When I go shopping, I bring my own bank card, so why should I care how much is in your account? If you are a man of integrity, honor, and compassion, I will be proud to be on your arm. If you are selfish, mean-spirited, and dishonest, no amount of money will get me to stay.
I don't care about your status symbols
I have dated several millionaires (net worth, not income), and I find that they usually live thrifty, low-overhead lives. They drive used cars and wear unremarkable clothes. They spend their time working on projects, like remodeling a house, rather than looking glamorous or spending money. Far from being impressed by cars or boats or other status symbols, all that can be a red flag for me because it often means that you are deeply in debt. A few months without an income, a few unexpected expenses or losses, and the whole house of cards comes crashing down. Women, don't be fooled by cars or Rolexes or such displays!
matter to me
While your income, your appearance, and even your choice of hobbies or music can tell me a lot about you, I do not base a decision to date you on these things. It would be very short-sighted of me to base a relationship on such transient things! Your income, job, appearance, fitness level, hobbies, activities, music, even politics etc. are different today than they were 10 years ago and different than they will be 50 years from now. What I really care about is your character. Who you are as a person. What makes you tick. What your goals and dreams are. We only become more ourselves as we get older.
I want to be with someone who knows who they are and what they want and where they are going. I want someone who can manage his life and is happy and fulfilled by his lifestyle and life choices. That is my definition of success.
I believe that the best relationship is one where both people were first independent, self-sufficient, and happy in and of themselves. Then, when they meet and come together to give to each other, it is a many splendored thing.

Since 2006, CEE has surveyed efficiency program administrators to document trends in the size and impact of the industry. By pointing to the aggregate current year budgets and prior year expenditures and savings, members envision an industry working across jurisdictional boundaries, and manufacturers picture a powerful market force.
As energy efficiency increases its presence on the energy landscape, meets new savings challenges, and expands program offerings, the CEE Annual Industry Report also increases the ground it covers. New this year:
Due to the CEE membership, who directed over eighty percent of the 2013 expenditures, CEE has included the vast majority of large demand side management program administrators in the United States and Canada.

Inconsistent Remote start operation?
Left work today and tried the remote start--clear line of site to the truck, but it was some distance away--and it only honked once. Too far away to tell if it started. So I walk a bit more and hit it again. Only honks once. Get close to the truck, try it again, only honks once, engine is not running, and it won't start running.
Starts up fine when I get inside. Get home, step out, give it 30 seconds or so, and while standing right next to the truck, it starts up fine when I hit remote.
I was hitting remote twice as directed each and every time.
Any ideas what is up with this? I was hoping I could pop the window in the winter and start my truck from the office before heading out, but that doesn't look good now. Makes it moot if I have to walk close to the truck before it will work. Hope the heated seats warm up in a hurry--if they don't that wasn't worth the money either! At least I am not that far from the truck at home, hopefully it will work there without having to walking within 20 yard of it.
Mine seems a little temperamental when it comes to hitting the remote start with the right timing. Too quickly and it won't start. Too slowly, same deal. Not sure if this is what you're dealing with, but this is my experience with the factory installed remote start.
No idea on the temperamental remote but you can get the Uconnect app for your phone and remote start your truck from anywhere in the world*
Turn on the truck and heater without opening your office window :-)
* you know.... within reason
Still better than doing it the old fashion way on a cold morning though!
Were you by any chance low on gas? There is a safety feature that will disable remote start so you don't run your tank dry. It has kicked in on me twice - both times the gas pump icon was lit so I assume that is the trigger. There was also a message on the display, but it does not stay active for long so if you don't look right at it you will miss it.
Starting when you got home would indicate this is not the case, unless you have a short drive and park on an incline that may change the level of fuel the gas gauge sees.
Hitting the remote start when the engine was started by remote will shut the engine down. When I remote start, the parking lights are on indicating a successful start.
Half a tank of gas so it wasn't an issue of low gas. The thing that threw me was it beeping just once--that seems to me to indicate a problem. If you don't get the pattern down right you'd think it wouldn't work at all, or not beep at all. There was one thing that happened before I shut the truck off that possibly may have led to it. I am not completely attuned to the dial shifter yet and pulled into a parking spot and shut the truck down without moving it to park. The new 8 speed dial system recognizes this electronically and mechanically shifts itself into park after a bit. Not sure why it would affect remote start, but I might try repeating this to see if it was the cause, and report back.
It will usually say on the EVIC why the remote was disabled.
If a door is not shut all the way it wont start and beep once, if the hood is open it wont start (the switch on the hood has been known to cause problems), if its low on fuel it wont start, if there is any kind of CEL it wont start etc.
It does take a certain timimg on the twice-press to get it to work, if I dont hear anything on the 2nd press the third press usually does it, Just have to be careful because if the remote start sequence begins another press cancels it. I think if you start it and cancel it twice it wont let you remote start ir any more, you have to start it regularly to reset it.
I start it regularly from 800-1000'' away line of sight so it has decent range. But like anything else these days it has many safety features that can stop it from working.
On my last truck I had an aftermarket AstoStart. It was amazing. I could start my truck from the second level of a building from 500+ feet away. It also had a 2-way system that would tell the remote if the truck was running, doors locked, etc. If the signal to start the truck wasn't received by the truck it would tell me that also.
So, with all the technology available today, why the sub standard remote start system on these trucks?
I haven't heard great things about the factory remote start and am wondering if I should look for an aftermarket system for my new truck (when I actually buy one). It gets damn cold where I am making a reliable remote start and important feature.
Can someone tell me how the U-connect feature works from a smartphone? I understand the principle but do you need some sort of subscription to make it work and is that subscription free for the first year on new trucks? Also i am an android guy not an iphone guy and I don't see any android apps for this.

Creating network apps with Twisted
The Twisted framework makes it so easy to create network-aware applications in Python. Twisted speaks all the major Internet protocols, from mail through chat, and it can handle encryption. We'll show you how to set up a personal web server with Twisted.
Most programmers eventually face the task of adding network communication capabilities to their applications. If it is simply a case of manipulating web content, there are simple answers, but more complex functions, such as adding full-fledged email capabilities or a complete web server, involve much more effort. Although the Python standard library has modules to match most walks of a programmer's daily life (batteries included, in Python-speak), special applications require external packages. Twisted [1] is a well-organized and powerful collection of modules for adding networking capabilities to Python programs.
