Economics Update (January-March 1996)
Economics Update (January-March 1996)
China Moves Toward Market Economy
With Business Mergers, Acquisitions
hina has chosen a new economic path.
Compared with economic reforms attempted in Russia and some Eastern European countries, China's approach to privatizing and consolidating businesses has a few apparent advantagesit provides for more experienced management and infusions of capital and allows for a slower transition, which gives the government finer control.
In an article in the November/ December 1995 issue of Economic Review, Jie Lin Dong, president of E-W Communications Inc. and publisher of China Finance, and Jie Hu, an economist in the financial section of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, examine the use of business mergers and acquisitions as a way of privatizing the Chinese economy, documenting the history and development of these activities and addressing some of the challenges the government faces in this attempt.
As China pushes its market-oriented economic reform forward, there seem to be three reasons behind the emergence of its mergers and acquisitions marketreasons that are likely to continue driving the market's development.
First, the government is essentially being forced to restructure and revitalize state-owned enterprises, especially the unprofitable ones.
Second, the new enterprises have growing needs, such as increasing capacity, upgrading technology, diversifying or divesting, and expanding into broader geographic areas. Mergers and acquisitions help enterprises meet these needs.
Third, the mergers and acquisitions policy helps attract foreign investment, which certainly is preferred over government bailouts.
Economic Reform
China's economic reforms started in the agriculture sector in 1978 when farming was on the verge of collapsing. The shift from the commune system to family farming improved productivity dramatically.
Rising inflation and political up-heaval delayed the spread of economic reforms to the industrial sector until 1992.
But then the government began allowingin fact, encouraginginefficient state-owned enterprises to merge with better-run state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, private enterprises, or foreign business interests.
The goal is to convert state-owned and collective enterprises into joint-stock companies, which distribute shares of stock among individuals, institutions, and the government or into private businesses.
For example, the Vantone Company, one of the largest private enterprises that has prospered from the booming real estate business in Hainan Island, has made inroads into the retail and pharmaceutical businesses by acquiring state-owned enterprises.
China's approach is to move slowly with this reform. The advantage of moving slowly is that the government has more time to establish rules and solve problems as they arise. But the disadvantage is that economic growth may not come quickly enough to offset the problems associated with the rapidly deteriorating state-owned enterprises.
Rules are being drafted as the new market evolves, but often the rules are vague or redundant.
Among the rules, however, are restrictions that mergers and acquisitions must be compatible with the government's industrial strategy; state-owned enterprises related to national security, military defense, advanced proprietary technologies, scarce minerals, and other sensitive enterprises cannot be sold to private or foreign investors; the government must retain a majority interest in industries such as energy, transportation, or communications; and the merger or acquisition of a large state-owned enterprise that is the backbone of an industry must be reviewed separately.
The Results
Jie Lin Dong and Jie Hu note that too little research has been done on the mergers and acquisitions to evaluate effectively the virtues and vices of China's approach.
But so far, they said, the mergers and acquisitions appear to have had several positive results. Revitalized state-owned enterprises have relieved some government burden, international investors are reacting positively, and privatization has allowed more opportunities for individuals to start or expand businesses.
Still, the authors noted several concerns and issues that must be resolved. For example, mergers can result in worker layoffs. Also, information about Chinese businesses is not properly dispersed, so buyers and investors aren't confident of the opportunities. Many policies, procedures, and systems need to be established or developedsuch as a judicial system, a tax collection system, a social welfare plan, revisions in the role of China's central bank, and a system of checks and balances.In conclusion, the authors said that more research is needed on mergers and acquisitions in China and more time is needed for the impacts of reform to appear as the nation's rapid growth and immense potential position it to be a more and more significant element in the international market.

NEW YORK (AP) - The National Society of Film Critics on Sunday selected "The Hurt Locker," a film about an elite Army bomb squad unit that works in Iraq to defuse improvised explosives while under the threat of insurgents, as the best picture of 2009.
Since Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain, lists have come in tens, not that we couldn't have done with several more commandments. Who says a year has Ten Best Films, anyway? Nobody but readers, editors, and most other movie critics. There was hell to pay last year when I published my list of Twenty Best. You'd have thought I belched at a funeral. So this year I have devoutly limited myself to exactly ten films.
When Sydney Pollack was making "Out of Africa" in 1985, he considered the problem of how to film Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in love scenes that were not explicit, yet were erotic. "When I have Streep and Redford together," he told me, "I don't want to see them strip naked and writhe around in bed together. The challenge was to find love scenes that would have emotion and passion and yet not violate a certain place where we want to see them. There are two really sensual love scenes. One of them is the undressing scene. I always like scenes like that. I think they're sexy. I tried to make a sort of passionate dance out of them undressing each other. The second scene consists of three absolutely terrific lines I took out of a screenplay that was written in 1973 when Nicholas Roeg was going to direct this project. It's only three lines, but what lines: "Don't move. I want to move. Don't move."
Bora Bora, Society Islands -- To get here you take off from Honolulu and fly into tomorrow, crossing the international date line for a refueling stop on Samoa.

It's a long way to go to visit a movie location, but then Dino De Laurentiis went a long way to shoot his movie.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - The premiere of Jan Troell's "The Emigrants" was held in the Roda Kvarn, a cozy little jewelbox of a theater that was built in 1915, when Swedish silent films were finding an international audience. But Troell's film wasn't merely post-silent; it was post-Bergman, post-sex, post- the image of Swedish films in the 1960s.

I have a ton of male friends that are married or in relationships with women who don't cook... AT ALL!!! Even if the women stay home all day, the men come and make dinner.
I am in shock!! In the family, home, culture I grew up in, women did the majority of cooking and men cooked when they felt like it.
I am not saying that the latter is the correct way to run household responsibilities, however, I do feel that women should do their part and not knowing how is not an excuse.
My questions:
Do you cook?
Do you feel that cooking and meal preparation is an essential skill to run and manage a household?
Will you ensure that your daughters and sons both know how to cook?

Proposal blocks certain pensionsFebruary 04,2013Proposal blocks
certain pensions
MONTPELIER A Vermont House committee is about to complete work on a proposal by Gov. Peter Shumlin to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The House Government Operations Committee has been looking into the issue.
Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a longtime Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a persons last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The House Democratic leadership backed away from a vote on legalizing marijuana...

What's Watson for Midsize Companies?
Roberto Amaro 270006PURB firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  watson companies pme midsize | 713 Visits
Back on January 9th I attended the IBM announcement of its group for Watson applications. I tweeted the announcement at @FranzD #IBMWatson. Full announcement here. The Watson group ecosystem site. It had been expected for some time, but I was surprised by its scale. A billion dollars, a location in NYC, a couple of thousand people. Partners in a number of big contexts, like health care. A very big investment. I have some former colleagues there and hope to get an insider 'tour'.
At the big enterprise we were not unaware of their progress in this area. In the late 1980s we had our own artificial intelligence / expert systems efforts underway. How do we leverage massive enterprise expertise? While Baby boomers retire? Premature, but producing very real value. At that time we talked to IBM and got the impression that they had made good progress. The science was already there, pioneered by academics at MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. The science was there but the connection to real computing systems and data had just begun to mature. IBM made that happen in the coming years. Watson provided a demonstration. We waited.

Avalanche coach Tony Granato stood his ground Thursday, saying he wants to be part of any reshaping of the team aimed at getting the franchise back to its glory days of winning Stanley Cups.
The night before the Avs lost their fifth consecutive game Wednesday, team owner Stan Kroenke said at the NFL owners meetings in Dana Point, Calif., that he thought there was some rebuilding for the Avs on the horizon.
"I don't worry about that," Granato said after Thursday's practice at the Pepsi Center. "If someone thinks there needs to be a change made, that's a decision that has to be made from above. This is a great organization to be part of and I want to be here and help fight through this.

Granato said his focus would remain on getting his team ready for the next game, tonight's 7 p.m. encounter with the Vancouver Canucks at the Pepsi Center.
"We've been dealing with things that have been challenging all year," Granato said. "Have we done all the right things to fight through it, probably not. We're beat up with injuries and it hasn't been easy from that point.
"As an organization, it's how you handle it and how you move forward by what you learn from this."
Granato has had a potential preview on rebuilding the roster with young players T.J. Galiardi and Derek Peltier, called up from Lake Erie to offset the impact of the injuries.
"They both have come into a pretty tough situation and been asked to play a lot of minutes," Granato said.
Galiardi said it has been a learning experience. "We have to get back on the right page here," he said. "No one likes to lose. There's a lot of character in this room and everyone is playing for their pride. There's going to be a lot of changes in this team. Hopefully I'll be part of it."
Peltier talked of the need to put on a better show for the Avalanche faithful.
"Whenever you get to come up and play with players like this, you definitely learn a lot," Peltier said. "It's amazing to see how hard these guys work. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can in preparing for next year."

Vancouver at Colorado
7 p.m. tonight, ALT2, KCKK 1510 AM
Spotlight on Ryan Kesler: The Canucks haven't lacked offense from their alternate captain. In the seven games leading up to the road swing to St. Louis and Colorado, Kesler scored 10 points, four goals and six assists.
Avalanche: Coach Tony Granato explained that it could have been easier for the young players called into action such as T.J. Galiardi and Derek Peltier. "It's quite a bit easier for a young player to jump in when a team is going well and there's one player coming at a time. We've had four or five of them at a time." The Avs coach noted that his team didn't have any contact drills in Thursday's practice and injured captain Joe Sakic stayed for the majority of practice. "He continues to feel better and the next step would be a full contact practice," Granato said. Granato noted that Sakic wouldn't be putting in the rehabilitation time he is if he didn't think there's a realistic chance to play again before the season ends. The Avs have eight games remaining and have been eliminated from the postseason. "He (Sakic) has been a member of this team all year," Granato said. "He wants to be part of it all the way through."
Canucks: Vancouver is in fifth place for the Western Conference playoffs, but just two points out of fourth place before playing St. Louis and Colorado on back-to-back nights. The Canucks trail Chicago 89-87 in the battle for fourth and guaranteed home ice for the first round of the playoffs.

MMA is filled with the best fighters and martial artists in the entire world. So why wouldn't they also have the best nicknames? Here's a look at 10 of our favorites…
10. Kevin Ferguson- "Kimbo Slice"
Maybe you thought his real name was Kimbo. That's OK. But it is just a nickname. Kimbo was a childhood nickname and fight fans added the "Slice" after he left a huge gash over an opponent's eye in his first taped fight. Whether or not you think Kimbo can cut it as an MMA fighter, his nickname is definitely top 10.
9. Jens Pulver- "Little Evil"
Newer fight fans may not appreciate Pulver because he hasn't had a victory since late-2007. But Pulver deserves props for being the first-ever UFC lightweight champion, and for having a top-10 nickname.
8. Chris Leben- "The Crippler"
Leben is a fan favorite that provides excitement in every one of his fights. He's had many nicknames since appearing on the season one of "The Ultimate Fighter", but the one that has stuck is "The Crippler". Back in 2005 he told MMA Weekly, "I like the Crippler, I like the Catsmasher, I like Lights Out, you can call me Game Tight….your Baby's Daddy…..it really doesn't matter to me. I don't pick my nicknames, people give them to me."
7. Stephan Bonnar- "American Psycho"
It's not exactly the most original nickname on the list, but you can't deny that it is very cool. Plus, when you consider the Bret Easton Ellis character from the book/movie, it's totally fitting that an MMA fighter wear that nickname.
6. Ken Shamrock- "The World's Most Dangerous Man"
Shamrock is currently serving a one-year suspension after testing positive for banned substances following his victory over Ross Clifton earlier this year. At age 45, who knows if he even enters the cage again. But the title of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" was well-earned. He is a UFC Hall of Famer and his nickname is Hall of Fame, too.
5. Mirko Filipovic- "Cro Cop"
The Croatian Filipovic has been a bust since coming to the UFC, but he comes in at #5 on our Best Nicknames list. For those who don't know, the nickname comes from his service as a Croatian Anti-Terrorist Squad officer. He also has sat on the Croatian Parliament.
4. Takanori Gomi- "The Fireball Kid"
He's beaten a Gracie, knocked out Jens Pulver, was submitted by a Gogoplata and whooped on Hayato Sakurai. He's fought in Pride, Shooto and now Sengoku. He's been everywhere, man. And he has the #4 nickname on the list.
3. Mark Kerr- "The Smashing Machine"
It's been a tough road for Kerr, as seen in the documentary branded by his nickname "The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Mark Kerr". He hasn't had a win in a while, but he won his first 11 fights before running into some substance-abuse troubles. The nickname was apt as Kerr routinely won fights in a dominant fashion.
2. Cris and Evangelista Santos- "Cyborg"
I still can't figure out if that is their legal name now. It's probably not but everyone uses "Cyborg" for their last name. The married couple have had a fantastic 2009. Cris defeating Gina Carano and Evangelista putting on an excellent performance in a loss to Joey Villasenor. They also share a fantastic nickname.
1. Wanderlei Silva- "The Axe Murderer"
I don't care if he doesn't win as much as he used to. There can be nothing more terrifying than watching a guy named "The Axe Murderer" stare you down while doing that crazy hand movement before the fight begins. "The Axe Murderer" is the best nickname in MMA, and maybe all of sports.

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Disney are increasing their cooperation and are organising a private film screening on 12 January
Ten years ago, a little clownfish won the hearts of millions of viewers all over the world. To celebrate this anniversary, Le Monde de Nemo (Finding Nemo) is returning to the screens on 16 January - for the first time in 3D!
For the occasion, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, in collaboration with its American branch and the Consulate General of Monaco in New York, is associating itself with Disney Pixar's film with the aim of familiarising children and adults with the underwater world and the protection of the oceans.
3D Premiere of Le Monde de Nemo (Finding Nemo) in Monaco
A private screening of the film Le Monde de Nemo (Finding Nemo) in 3D, organised by the Prince Albert II Foundation under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness the Sovereign Prince, will take place on Saturday 12 January 2013 (before its official release in cinemas on 16/01) at Le Sporting Cinema, for around 400 guests.
To make learning fun, the American branch of the Foundation has developed 20 "Fun Facts" on the subject of marine animals and corals, in association with the Oceanographic Museum and Monaco Scientific Centre. These amusing educational anecdotes for children can now be downloaded from the web site of the Consulate General of Monaco in New York (www.monaco-consulate.com/pa2f/funfacts). They are also available on several other web sites, including Monaco Tourist Office in New York (www.visitmonaco.com/us), the Prince Albert II Foundation (www.fpa2.com) and the Scientific Centre (www.centrescientifique.mc).

Easy PHP with the eZ Components library
eZ Components is a free enterprise-level PHP library that uses state-of-the-art language features. We show you the library's potential on the web and at the command line.
The rise of PHP has spawned a new industry in tools for PHP development. By providing standard, reusable components, these tools simplify development and speed up the coding process. One of the entries in this race is eZ Components, a generic PHP library created by eZ Systems, the makers of the eZ Publish Content Management System. The eZ Components library, which is available for download under the open- source New BSD license, offers an easy-to-use collection of standard components designed to reduce errors and save development time. We demonstrate a few interesting features of the eZ Components library and put those features to work on a sample application that forwards email messages.

New Women's Bikes We're Most Excited About
Raleigh Capri
2 / 6
Raleigh's Capri series of women's bike got a facelift for 2014. To start, the frames and specs have been upgraded to make the bikes lighter and stiffer. The company is now selling the bike with a slightly offset fork and a new seatpost that work to minimize toe overlap, while still maintaining an optimum position on the bike. All of the Capri models were upgraded with lighter and stiffer wheels. The Capri Carbon 4 pictured here is equipped with Shimano's electronic Ultegra Di2 components. It costs $3,800, is available in sizes 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, and weighs about 16 pounds for the midsize model.

They called my roommate and tried to get information about me from him. He told them that unless they would identify who they were that he wouldn't talk to them and asked for their number and told them if he ran into me that he'd get me the info. It's a little fishy that they have his number and even knew that we were roommates. Sounds like something is going on.04/10/2013 1:37PM

I had the privilege of working at Wright and Webb in Bloomsbury Square when I was in London in 1963-1966. Oscar Beuselinck was the great media lawyer at this time (nobody has ever replaced him as such) and there was never a dull moment in this company. I enjoyed working there so much. My daughter was in London just before I returned in 1994 and and she also had the privilege of getting to know him too. Unfortunately, due to his busy schedule, I never met up with him again and only spoke to him on the phone. I also have been very lucky to meet up with one of his co-workers in the USA after a period of 45 years. I was so saddened to hear of his passing.
JOSEPHINE MCLOUGHLIN 2 October 2010 at 20:26
I worked at Wright and Webb firstly as an outdoor clerk. Mr Beuselinck terrified me [and others] when he lost his temper but was a very fair man and I liked him as a boss. I had to leave due to ill health but have never forgotten him and never will. OAB was one of a kind.
Yasar Nurettin 19 April 2012 at 12:58
I had the privilage of working for Wright & Webb Syrett & Sons in Soho Square back in 1978 where I was a Managing Clerk. Oscar was one of a man. I enjoyed working with him and learnt a lot. I left in 1980 & his last words to me was you can come back whenever you want to work with me!!
I also was involved in the group Queen's Libel actions, Roger Moore's divorce and many more. I wish I could be back there to work with this wonderful firm!!!! I miss the good days. Every Friday afternoon we had meetings with Oscar and the other Solicitors where we discussed our cases and shared our views (whilst drinking whisky)!!!!!
Sally Simpson 6 December 2012 at 13:21
I worked at Wright Webb Syrett in the early 1980s and loved it. Mr. Beuselink was a lovely gentleman and I remember when the storms hit London not many people made it into work but those that did he took out for a meal at lunchtime. He and Mr. Peter Ash (think that was the other senior partner) were very well respected solicitors.

Haven't Logged Into Yahoo For A Year? Say Bye Bye To Your ID!
We aren't really sure how many of you are still glued to your "Yahoo" IDs, but in case you haven't logged into your Yahoo Account for a while; chances are you will lose your ID forever. In a surprising move yesterday, Yahoo's Jay Rossiter, Senior Vice President – Platforms, announced "freeing" of IDs not used for 12 months. In his statement, Rossiter confirmed freeing up of IDs and their subsequent availability to new users from 15th July '13. It is worth mentioning here that Yahoo! was looming in the "Internet Graveyard" before Marissa Mayer took charge in January 2013. Marissa announced that Yahoo will undergo some intense and radical transformation in order to..

Is there a setting for that? I've looked through the settings, but haven't found anything that talks about starting the week on Sunday rather than Monday.

Taking about the perfect birthday, she said, "A birthday becomes a perfect one when one gets lots of surprises."
Talking about the gifts she got, she said, "I have got my birthday dress as my birthday gift."
Going down memory lane, she shared about the birthday celebration she used to have during her childhood days. Talking on the same she said, "I used to cut the birthday cake, my friends used to come at my place for my birthday party and I used to get gifts."

Creme Fraiche
Cured Arctic Char
This method works well with other fish. Substitute salmon or fresh trout for the char if you like.
Roasted Beets with Sesame and Marjoram
Prettiest when not piled too high; divide the salad over two platters and put one at each end of the table.
Fennel and Carrot Soup
A silky, subtly sweet little number that makes fall vegetables feel downright swanky.
Roasted Beet and Walnut Dip
An antidote to the many mayo and sourcream dips out there (which we also love).
Frozen Chocolate Mousse with Cherry Sauce
Slice into portions and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet the day of the party; serving dessert will be a cinch.
Lemon-Soufflé Pudding Cake
This amazing soufflé from Måurice Luncheonette is cakey on top, pudding-y on the bottom, tart all the way through.
Spiced Creamed Corn
"A lighter, spicier version I could get down with on even the hottest of days." —Alison Roman, senior associate food editor
Strawberry Pomegranate and Rose Petal Mess
Use store-bought meringues and skip the first step, if you prefer.
Charred Sugar Snap Peas with Buttermilk Aioli
The aioli will appear quite tight when all the oil is incorporated, but it will loosen to a pourable consistency once the buttermilk and shallot are added.
Grilled Lettuces with Crème Fraîche and Avocado
"Don't try this with iceberg," advises Roberta's chef Carlo Mirarchi. Flavorful, robust lettuces work best, allowing you to get grill marks on one side while the rest wilts.

Enjoy your music on the go, everywhere you go. The SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II delivers full, natural sound with dramatically deeper bass than you'd expect from an ultra-compact speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. It connects wirelessly to your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth® device, so you can listen to your music, videos or games anytime, anywhere. And the built-in speakerphone lets you take calls out loud, too.
The SoundLink® Mini speaker II is small and light enough to tuck into your bag. It weighs in at just 0.67 kg. Its low profile lets you place it almost anywhere and provides a low center of gravity that makes it nearly impossible to tip over.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of playtime, and charges with most USB power sources. At home, you can listen indefinitely by keeping the unit on the charging cradle. The battery charges as you listen and the speaker is always ready to grab and go.
SoundLink® Mini II has a range of about 9 m, so you can enjoy the sound you want without wires. Voice prompts talk you through pairing with your smartphone, iPad® or other Bluetooth® device, making it easier than ever. And the speaker remembers the most recent eight devices you've used, so reconnecting is even simpler.
You might not expect sound this rich from a speaker this small, but the SoundLink® Mini speaker II is something new. You don't have to sacrifice performance for portability. Proprietary technologies and an innovative driver configuration combine to deliver full-range sound—including deep lows—in an ultra-compact package. It lets you take your music to places it's never been before.
The SoundLink® Mini speaker II is designed for sleek simplicity. Its single-piece aluminium casing is both attractive and durable. The speaker features power and volume buttons—you control all other functions from your Bluetooth® device.
Additional soft covers allow you to customise the appearance of your speaker while providing added protection for the aluminium body from scratches or abrasions. Available in an assortment of colours.
Cable: 1.5 cm
What kind of audio sources can I use with the SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II?
The speaker is designed specifically for use with today's most popular Bluetooth® devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, it includes an auxiliary input for a wired connection to an MP3 or similar portable player.
How do I control the speaker?
Power and volume controls are located on the speaker itself. Otherwise, use your smartphone or other paired device to select a playlist, streaming audio source, etc. No remote control necessary.
What is the wireless range of the SoundLink® Mini speaker II?
On average, the speaker will work within 9 m of your paired Bluetooth® device. Walls and construction materials can affect reception at times.
Can I stream music (Spotify, etc.) from my computer to the SoundLink® Mini speaker II?
Yes, as long as your computer is enabled for Bluetooth® and is within 9 m of the speaker.
What happens when my phone is streaming music to the SoundLink® Mini speaker II and a call comes in?
When a call comes in, the music will pause, and the call will ring through the speaker. You can answer the call by pressing the multi-function button and talk into the speaker itself to conduct your phone call. When you end your call, music playback resumes.
How do I check battery life?
When the speaker is turned on, the battery indicator lights up for 10 seconds, then turns off to conserve power. To check the charge press and hold the power button to turn the indicator light back on. Green = 70% or more charge; yellow = 20 – 70%; red = less than 20% battery life.
What is the playing/charging time of the battery?
Battery performance varies depending on the content and the volume at which it's played. In typical usage, a fully charged battery gives you up to 10 hours. The battery will fully charge in three hours using the included cradle or wall charger, possibly longer with some USB sources or while playing music.
What purpose do the voice prompts on the SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II serve?
The voice prompts serve two key purposes. First, they provide guidance during the Bluetooth® pairing and connection process so the customer understands how it works. Second, they identify the connected source devices by name, simplifying usage with more than one source device.
Can I use the SoundLink® Mini speaker II as part of my home wireless network?
No, the SoundLink® Mini speaker II works only with the Bluetooth® wireless protocol.
Can the SoundLink® Mini speaker II be used to provide audio for video, such as for watching a movie on a tablet?
Yes. However, the quality of the experience—specifically, synchronisation between audio and video—can be influenced by the Bluetooth® implementation on the viewing device. You will get the best performance by keeping the SoundLink® Mini speaker II and the device in close proximity, which minimises wireless interference. Use of Wi-Fi® in the area also may affect performance.

Mobile Management: Part TwoIn the last Mobile Management post, there was discussion that mobile accounts for a huge amount of internet access and a large amount of internet users. That's why most companies have entered the so-called "digital age" and built websites. But every age comes to an end, and every strategy becomes over saturated. Internet sites number in the millions but the average user has 26 apps downloaded. The next thing in marketing, is mobile applications. And yes, even for small businesses. But there is two important questions to ask yourself before building or paying someone to build an app. Do you want access to your customers 24/7? An app is unique from a website since it always sits on the mobile users home screen and can send notifications through the phone. Do you have a purpose? The app should provide beneficial to both you and customers. It is important to provide a productive, unique experience to keep users downloading and than further engaging with the application. And is your business benefiting in some tangible metric. And no having an app just to have an app, is like being the cool mom. It sounds fun but can ultimately lead to harm.Social Media Marketing is a great way to spread the word of a product and can generate some very organic marketing. But you are competing on Social Media with other brands and personal use. It's very easy to get drowned out in the noise. Furthermore, Social Media might create awareness but it does not necessarily create actions.While apps are not for every business, they can provide an excellent tool for consumer...
Data Extraction: Inside the MachineData extraction is the process of removing data from unstructured source types and further refining it. Humans can complete data extraction through manual entry into any kind of system. This often leads to errors, as humans are not perfect. And in an increasingly data driven world, correct, indexed data is becoming incredibly necessary. The best solution is to go through software. This software uses OCR to covert to usable data to any document type needed. This is the first step in ELT, extraction-loading-transformation or ETL, extracting transforming-loading cycle. In layman terms that's the process that creates scanned data into usable, converted data. The extraction step is exactly as it sounds. The important and good data is taken out of a scanned document to be converted into a new document type. For example, the data may be scanned in from a receipt, converted to computer understood language, and then extracted from the document by field for later conversion and use. Some Benefits Data Extractions biggest use comes from the reduction of errors and the saving of time and money. By having data extraction run through machine, as above human error is minimized. This error could potentially cause havoc in an accounting system or making customer service's job much more complicated. Software data extraction also saves time and money. By having a employee input data it takes much more time to read the data, insert the data into the computer, and then transfer what part of the data is wanted to each system. This is time that could be spent on other tasks such as using the data to increase customer...
Biz Blab Decoded: Paradigm ShiftTypically heard by management in the last five years, paradigm shift is something that we can all actually get behind. Paradigm shift actually means a fundamental change in an individual's or a society's view of how things work in the world. Typically, it is used in both the business and tech world as something (idea, product, or culture) that will change how things were previously done or work. Paradigm shift often has a negative connotation as being just a buzzword, overused by marketers and self-promoting industry experts. In reality, paradigm shifts happen frequently and rapidly in today's world. Check out these three real world-examples: 1. Galileo's Discovery: Galileo is often used as the classic example of a paradigm shift. His discovery that shifted the Earth from the center of the universe to the sun. He discovered this through the an anomaly that the planets motion was irregular. This was attempted to explain through religion, the predominant force in science at the time. Galileo bravely gathered more anomalies and evidence to present his new view. It gathered great resistance from the establishment (Roman Church) before being adopted as correct much later in time. The same thing would later happen when the Earth was proven round. 2. The Internet: One of the most common paradigm shifts of our times. The internet provided a fundamental change in society's consumption habits and communication methods. It would prove to change a variety of industries from phones, to music, to research. This is one of the most common examples of a major paradigm shift of modern day and the kind most businesses aspire to create....
Data Migration: What You Need to KnowData Migration is the process of transferring the captured data between types, formats, or computer systems. It minimally requires data extraction and data loading to complete these steps. Data needs to be read from the old file, format, or system and written ("loaded") into to the new system. If the data is being migrated from paper to electronic form it first must go through scanning and Optical Character Recognition. 1. First the data needs to be written, coded, and programmed to match the type, format, or system it is being migrated to. 2. Data is then checked for errors or loss by human hands. 3. Data is process for quality to eliminate redundant or obsolete information, and match the requirements of the new system. The Two Types There are two primary types of data migration that your company can use. These are big-bang and trickle migration. Big Bang Migration, migrates ALL the data in a short, specified time frame. This often causes a downtime in the systems to handle the large amount of information, which can lead to several risks. Systems may not be able to afford to be down for that length of time due to customer demand. In addition, errors lead to further downtime and slower response still. This is the less common data migration. Trickle Migration sends the data over in small increments. Since the systems are able to run at the same time, server downtime is not an issue. The challenge to success is keeping track of what data has been migrated. There must be a system in place to track this so overlap does...
Earth DayThis Friday, April 22nd, is Earth Day. Earth Day has roots in the activism of the 1960's and 1970's with the first Earth Day being held in 1970. The global holiday has picked up steam in recent years to make everyday Earth Day. With motions being passed regarding CO2 releases, Paris Climate Summit Talks, and a global pledge to create environmentally sustainable levels of fossil fuel use by 2020. But no matter what regulation may be passed, Earth Day will always start with activists and individuals. As both an employee and employer, here are 2 easy ways to get green going. 1. Decrease Paper: Decrease paper use is an oldie but a goodie. The average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper a year! That's a lot of trees that our environment loses. The loss of trees correlates with ozone issues leading to the increase of warming temperatures and ice melting. In fact, Biel's has been a long term advocate for going paperless. Electronic Document Management can save trees every year by cutting down on printing costs, copying costs, and general form production. More trees, means more oxygen which means a better climate for us all. Go paperless and start the initiative to save our trees. 2. Encourage TeleCommuting: Virtual offices are becoming the next office. While no one can deny that having face to face meetings can be productive, recent technological advances have allowed for similar virtual benefits. The costs of saving on electric and the fuel that powers electric is a huge benefit to the environment. In addition, the saving of gas during commute boosts the reduction...
Mobile is the Future: Part 1There is no doubt mobile is the future. In fact since 2012, mobile internet use has been greater than traditional desktop use. Almost 3.61 billion of all internet access is through mobile devices and this number is only predicted to grow. Two factors will drive the need for mobile use at companies. One, globalization is rapidly occurring. Many companies, at least in some capacity, do work off-shore of the United States, whether it be international offices or international virtual employees. Much of the world never built the infrastructure needed to support traditional internet and phone access. Internet happened much too quickly for the world to catch up. But those companies are building many, many cellphone towers. These towers are especially common in the BRIC states (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). A fair majority of mobile users are in these countries and most of their internet access is through mobile. Secondly, the United States economy is itself shifting. Millennials just overtook Baby Boomers as the largest generation alive and are soon to eclipse them in the workplace as well. As the "so-called" digital natives and first generation to adapt this technology so quickly, they are huge mobile users. In fact almost all of their traditional media comes through mobile devices using Netflix, Spotify, and web news. As they continue to rise to positions up the ladder they will be replaced by even younger generations. These generations, specifically generation Z up next, barely remember a time without technology. In fact the first iPhone was released while they were in elementary school. They are a continuing pattern of digital natives that will continue...

Worth doing to get a feel of the city but little background from an old guide who needed a lot of prodding.
The tour visited the sites listed however the tour guide failed to note the Mermaid is currently in China for a world expo and a substitution was not offered. The only reason I know the Mermaid was not visited was because I asked.
Very disappointing from beginning to end..vague directions to locate bus, no time to ask questions except at brief..stops..and no time for stroll at each stop. Would have much preferred timw to enter the Orchestra building and a ahort stroll through Tivoli Gardens..may not be able to say this but tours of St. Petersburg ans Stockholm were wonderful but NOT Viator !! Driver was more informative than guide..save your time and money.
Pick-up location was not at the dock or even close. It cost an additional $36 US to get near the pick-up point and still had a considerable walk. Then we had to rely on the kindness of locals to help us with directions. We arrived about 40 minutes before the tour was to start and we waited there. When the bus arrived the two front seats were already taken even though we were at the starting point of the tour. Everything was rushed because the tour was late starting. We were constantly hurried by the tour conductor. We chose this tour mainly because it included the changing of the guard. However, we were allowed 20 minutes which included washroom break, walk to the palace and see the change of the guard and return to the bus. When we got to the palace there was already a crowd about 10 deep around the square so we heard the change but were unable to see anything. Photo stops were all 2 to 3 minutes in duration so some people never left the bus. The directions given to us by the tour guide to get to Tivoli Gardens were poor at best. Again we had to rely on the assistance of locals. Praise to the locals as everyone we approached understood and spoke english.
Not a comprehensive tour as described. The tour guide was superficial and did not present in depth. The bus had seen better days and the upstairs air conditioning barely worked. Altogether a forgetful experience.
The bus did not stop for photo ops, barely slowed down when we passed the Little Mermaid statue, and then photos showed reflections from bus window. Traffic slowed us to a stop at one point for about 20 minutes.
A okay bus tour, and then you get dumped off and have to find out about Tivoli on your own. Worth about 10 bucks.... Copenhagen is a fantastic city, this tour is marginal at best. I expected them to at LEAST let me know where Tivoli was, and how to get in, they just seemed dumbfounded when I asked about the tour including Tivoli... will not be using Viator any longer.
We did three tours in Copenhagen and this was the worst of the three. We only made one short stop for pictures at the Little Mermaid. The rest was all drive by. It was a recording with no actual tour guide and was a good hour shorter than advertised. I would not do this again and am very reluctant to use Viator for any future tours.
The place of bus tour starting point was so easy to miss! There was no map or address clearly written, only saying it is opposite the Tivoli garden, which is naturally taken as the entrance of the Tivoli garden! We went around to look for the buss and took a long time and almost missed it! Again the bus was stopped at the loyal palace and we were asked to walk to the marmaid statue, the instruction was again very unclear. We got 10 minutes to walk but it was simly not possible to be there within 10 minutes so that we thought we must need to turn already much earlier than the expected meeting point. We tried to find the place to meet but never got there. We missed the bus and had such a stressful time to search for the right point to find the bus. The bus was also very old and crowded. We would recommend tourist to simply walk or take collective transport to get to these places from the railway station.
The bus was 1/2 hour late as it had come from a previous tour and was delayed in traffic (at least that that's what they said). We got there 20 minutes before the tour was supposed to begin. The tour was OK and we saw a lot.

The tour was ok, but nothing more. Info was low, tour was 2h30 out of which 20 min we were left to wonder around the coach and square (where we watched the change of guard for 5-10 min). The coach was old and dirty and really I have seen much better tours. Also bothered me that people who were buying tickets on the spot paid less money than I did booking my trip in advance. We were more out of the coach for taking pics (which was nice) than being in it listening to info regarding some history and relevant info on the main attractions. Stairs inside the coach were absolute nightmare, you had to be a 10year old to fit through 'em comfortably. So all in all I was very disappointed for a tour I paid 60euros for 2 people.

They could have included more stops to make the tourist appreciate the sites better.
Bus was too crowded!
Very bad regarding trip time to cover some places such as Mermaid, they left their while I am tacking photos for a short time. I lost the tour because of few seconds delay for tacking picture.
Tour did not happen. Could not find the bus in time. Meeting place directions were not easy to understand and even locals trying to help us sent us in different directions. Very disappointed. Had to reort to hop on and hop off buses.
This was one of the four tours I booked for this trip and the worst. The amount paid did not match the services received, It was a bus tour with audio and the garden is pretty much a children's playground with a few flowers. Disappointing!
The meeting place was chznged due to construction and wr were never informed. We were wanderi.g around in the pouring rsin looking for the tour bus. You advertised a three hour tour and we were taken on an hour and half tour. When I questioned the driver he seemef to have no idea what I was saying.
This trip was supposed to be 2 1/2 hours. We were on the bus exactly 1 hour. We did not go into the tivoli gardens we just rode by it and the driver pointed it out.
There was a lot of confusion where we were supposed to meet for the tour. The paper said at city hall square, but it was on the side of the building and difficult to find. It was not clearly marked or explained.
Missed this tour as my travel friend and I could not locate the starting point. It was not in front of the Palace Hotel as described. It was one street over. With all the traffic, and buses, not an easy solution.

April 29, 2016
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Punter Jeff Feagles has signed a 2-year contract with the NFL champion New York Giants. It comes a little more than a week after becoming the oldest player to perform in a Super Bowl.
Feagles turns 42 next month. He represented himself in contract talks.
Feagles spent 20 years in the NFL before making it to the Super Bowl, and says he briefly considered retiring after the Giants' 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots.
The Giants also are close to reaching a five-year, 7-million-dollar contract with kicker Lawrence Tynes, who booted the game-winning field goal in overtime in the NFC title game against the Green Bay Packers.

Make your self at home
Environmental variables give users the ability to set up the command line to suit their own needs.
If you enter a command like ls in the shell, the shell knows that you want to call the /bin/ls program. Bash knows where on the filesystem to look for executables, so there is no need to type in the full path. This path is defined in what is known as an environmental variable. Variables of this kind are also used to modify the appearance of the shell prompt, set the time zone and the user's home directory, and other things.

Fire damages Rutland City homeStaff Report | November 10,2013A fire caused heavy damage to the rear of a single-family home Saturday night in Rutland City.
No one was home at the time of the fire, which was called in at about 7:15 p.m.
City Fire Lt. Brad LaFaso said four trucks were dispatched and firefighters met with heavy smoke coming out of the rear of the house when they arrived at 15 Hopkins St.
It took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, LaFaso said.
They got it down pretty quick, he said.
The cause of the fire was undetermined at press time, but LaFaso said it started in the kitchen area of the two-story woodframe house.
The property is owned by Everett Louder. The names and number of tenants renting the home were unknown at press time.MORE IN This Just In

Tour of California Bike and Gear Tech Gallery
8 / 12
Often, custom gear has little to do with the actual technology. Custom-painted bikes, saddles with personalized embroidery and other rider-specific touches abound. Garmin had these yellow and gold helmets stowed in the back of the team car on stage 3 on the chance that team leader Dave Zabriskie might take the race lead ? a prescient choice considering his stage win and first place on overall classification that day.
