This service provides product replacement and workarounds to correct bugs, malfunctions, system errors and other related problems that adversely affect the product's ability to operate as designed.

Comment: Time is right to pardon Alan Turing
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Here we go again . . .
Labour party members taking on board campaigns first championed by the Liberal Democrats . . .
If they want to keep nicking Liberal Democrat policies, then why not go the full hog and actually join the Liberal Democrats . . . rather than a washed up version of them? . . .
I suppose copying is the highest form of flattery . . .
Robert you are right. John Leech a Manchester MP has been working on getting a pardon for Alan Turing.
Yes join LGBT+ Lib Dems via
One can only presume that the Lib Dems were as spineless as ever when they raised the issue of Alan Turing. They really should leave it to proper politicians to do the hard work!
OK Pardon Alan Turing; that would please me. Then you have to pardon every one else prosecuted or cautioned under the pre 1967 act. That would please me even more. Pity you cannot bring back all those who committed suicide as a result of being Gay back then.
Why not pardon everybody that ever broke a law that has since been rescinded? I got a speeding ticket on a road doing 40 in a 30, but it's now been changed to a 40mph zone. Can I have my fine back and the points taken off my licence?
You are an @rse arent you.
Rather than hurling insults, try answering my question.
It is a perfectly logical and viable one.
Why should one person be given a pardon when thousands of others are ignored? (and please don't come up with "Turing was a hero" – the law does not recognise celebrity, as we have just discovered with Jimmy Savile)
The speed limit being 30 didn't contribute to discrimination, desperate unhappiness or suicide, did it?
This is to do with a specific and unique change in the law which unfairly affected millions of innocent people. It's not comparable to speeding fines.
Sometimes trying to compare things in the way you have is unhelpful and inappropriate, once you think about it a bit more…
What I don't get is how the article claims that the current government says they can't 'turn back history' but they can.
Recent legislation already allows historic convictions based on sexuality to be overturned and wiped from records if they involve behaviour which would now no longer be deemed to be illegal.
Yes, but that's only of use to people who're still alive or whose descendants are conscious of the historic disgrace, isn't it?
Maybe, but he still committed a crime, and he still got nicked for it.
A piece of paper is not going to make a jot of difference.
No, you're absolutely right.
You probably got a piece of paper saying you'd passed exams when you left school, and you still post stupid comments on here, so as you say a piece of paper doesn't make a jot of difference
It's not the piece of paper. It is the principle.
I have a piece of paper that says I am legally in a Civil Partnership.
I hate it.
It states in black and white that I am not GOOD ENOUGH to be legally considered civil married.
But it's only a piece of paper in your eyes.
Think again.
"I hate it."
Then why did you bother?
I so don't agree with this: as Turing has been dead for nearly 60 years, it's not going to make the slightest difference to him. Much better to leave things as they are and acknowledge the terrible injustice he suffered.
I would only agree with this if everyone prosecuted under the same laws as Turing were also pardoned. Otherwise his conviction should remain as a permanent, shaming reminder of the consequences to society as whole, as well as to individuals, of the consequences of ignorant bigotry
Pardons are pointless.
the man did what he did knowingly, and broke the law at the time. A pardon is not going to change the facts, and Turing himself is far too long gone to benefit from it.
OK, the law may well have been wrong, but one cannot turn back the clock. Better to recognise the man for his incalculable contribution to society, rather than keep digging up this rather grubby little indiscretion.
He operated as his homosexual nature defined.
Left-Handed people used to be castigated for being "Left Handed"
Did the State cut off their hands. NO.
This man did as nature intended, it was the state that was out of alignment with him , and all conjured up as usual by bloody religion.
I would only agree if Alan Turing was still alive, or if his descendents would suffer from his conviction.
Now it is part of history along with all the other nasty things we did in the past. It should be a lesson and be part of his life for ever, so we keep reminding ourselves of the unjust things we did.
Don't clean up the records, they serve historical evidence for future generations.
I completely agree.
The trouble is that if Turing is pardoned then everyone who fell foul of the anti-gay laws will have to be pardoned.
Many are still alive.
And if they are pardoned then I foresee lawsuits for loss of income; and damage to reputation by those people who were negatively effected.
Like it or not homosexuality was a crime in the 1940's so his conviction was valid at the time.
For once, I totally concur with you.
This serves no purpose to anyone except for political expediency.
A posthumous pardon doesn't require a time machine or turning back time, it would be entirely symbolic in honour of a great hero and genius who helped to end WWII .
Just do it.
Yes, but symbolic for who? Certainly no for Turing.
The only people that stand to benefit are the government saying "Look how understanding and sympathetic we are now."
People are awarded posthumous medals and other accolades for service to their country. Granting Alan Turing a pardon of course won't mean anything because of the laws which were in place at the time of his death. What we should do is make sure what happened to him will never be forgotten, never happen again, to be over vigilant that bigotry, prejudice, discrimination against a minority is unacceptable and will never be tolerated.
Equal marriage opponents take note.
I think you are confusing the two.
Granting the man an accolade, knighthood, medal or gong is one thing.
Attempting to rescind a criminal charge is entirely another.
Like I said, the man should be recognised for his talents, not his flaws.
"Alan Turing was just one of many thousands of gay men who was wronged by prejudice and homophobic laws that have rightly been wiped off the statute book"
…wiped off in theory, but it has'nt stop anti-gay witchhunts by likes of Devon & Cornwall Police!
If you have an issue with that then take it up with the new police commissioner that nobody actually turned up to vote in.
No no no…
I can see your heart is in the right place but
A) pardon him for what? A pardon implies you've done something wrong but we forgive you… He did nothing wrong.
B) if you don't also pardon everyone else convicted under the same law the implication is that Turing somehow earned the right to forgiveness, and the others didn't
It's just a way of showing how 'down with the gays' you are and whitewashing the past. He was convicted at the time and treated appallingly because all gay people were treated appallingly back then. Let his conviction stand as a reminder of that… don't be so offensive as to 'forgive' him for being gay.
Sorry, but he did do something that was considered wrong at the time.
There are many laws today that I think should be rescinded, but that isn't the point, the law is the law at the time you contravene the act, irrespective of if it is considered a bad law in retrospect.
I agree though that the conviction should stand as a monument to less forgiving and more intolerant times.
Pardoned infers that he is being pardoned for wrong doing which is totally false. he should be posthumously exonerated rather as he did nothing wrong.

The Redwood City Fire Department asked community kids to offer their best names for the City's new fireboat - and more than 100 came through with a wonderful variety of entries.
The selection committee went through every name entered, and came up with the top 10, and from that top 10 the finalist will be chosen, to be painted on the stern of this new, important piece of firefighting equipment and unveiled at a special ceremony on August 10 at the Port of Redwood City .
The top 10 finalists are:
• Aquarius
• Bay Sentinel
• Gladiator
• Guardian
• Hephaestus
• Lifesaver
• Mighty Sequoian Fire Fighter
• Redwood City Fireboat
• Sequoia
• Shepherd
Along with the 10 finalists and their families, the community is invited to join in the special ceremony unveiling the fireboat's name Saturday, August 10, 2013, 1 pm, at the Port of Redwood City, 675 Seaport Boulevard.
This will be a chance for the community to get its first look at this new MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 36 fireboat - and to see its name unveiled.
The entire cost of Redwood City's new fireboat (nearly $1 million) was entirely funded with a federal Homeland Security/Port Security Grant. The grant also pays for training of existing Fire Department staff in the operation of all aspects of this great new firefighting tool.
With this new fireboat, the City will have the ability to better respond to water emergencies in all weather conditions, use the newest technology to locate vessels in distress, and enhance our firefighting capabilities both on the shoreline and on the water. That means better, faster, and more effective protection and ability to fight fires on or near the shore, whether housing, businesses, boats, or ships. This also gives us the ability to attack fires from both land and water, which is of great benefit to the community.
As recent events have shown (the recent 6-alarm fire in Redwood City and the jet crash at SFO), it's impossible to predict when a fire or other emergency will occur - but it's clear that having sufficient equipment and resources to respond to such emergencies and save lives is of the utmost importance. Redwood City's new fireboat will be available for mutual aid response to emergencies in other communities on the Bay, enhancing the overall safety and disaster preparedness for the region, especially in the event of a major disaster. As the only fireboat in the southern San Francisco Bay, this will be a key element in emergency preparedness for our community and for our neighboring communities as well.
The Redwood City Fire Department thanks all the kids who entered their favorite names for the new fireboat, and is looking forward to hosting the special naming ceremony on Saturday, August 10, in cooperation with the Port of Redwood City.

As a regular traveller and frequent user of your site I would like to add my dismay in a recent booking. Booking made on Friday 15 march at Royal Oak Appleby, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel on Sunday 17 march. The booking was more than a week in advance, and I was informed that I would incur 25 percent charges!!! I emailed hotel to be told it was not them who had put this charge on as told by booking.com.......but actually booking.com.....I am intrigued why I have been misled by bookin.com and unfortunately will not book anything again through them.Visit laterooms.com

TOO warm?
hardER to make….
Slate has a nice explainer covering heat wave health problems. The central question: If my body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, why am I uncomfortable when it's 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit outdoors?
The answer is both basic and interesting. Sure, 98.6 degrees F is the healthy temperature for a human body, but that's only because we are pretty good at transferring heat away from ourselves. Your metabolism and your muscles generate more heat than that, but you get rid of it using tricks like breathing out hot air and sweating. Basically, your body works like a heat exchanger. It's the same sort of system that keeps your refrigerator cool—take the heat from inside a closed space and dump it into the surrounding environment.
Unfortunately, this system works best when the surrounding environment is cooler than the closed space. Your body is happiest when the air temperature is around 70 degrees F. That's when it's most efficient at getting rid of your excess heat. When the weather gets to warm, it's a lot hard to make the heat exchange. With nowhere else to put the heat, your body temperature starts rising.
Because exercise causes the body to generate so much extra heat, optimal temperatures for intense physical activity are lower than those for daily life. Athletes can raise their core temperatures six degrees just by working out. Add an environment that makes heat dispersal more difficult—not to mention possible dehydration from sweat losses that sometimes exceed six liters (for marathoners) or two liters per hour (team game players)—and performance can take a nosedive.
... For example, researchers in Darwin, Australia, observing a long-distance runner taking a 30-minute jog through the humid air, noted that his body temperature increased from 98.96 degrees to 105.8 degrees. When he'd gone on a similar jaunt under cooler conditions, his temperature had risen by just two degrees. Such a spike spells trouble for maintaining an optimal heart rate: The man's soared to 200 beats per minute during the last 15 minutes of his run, where, previously, it was a more sustainable 154 beats per minute.

And I'm not even a pilkunnussija
Your body is happiest when the air temperature is around 70 degrees F.
Below 85° and I'm shivering.
You're welcome to join me in Phoenix for the summer! :D
I'm in Palm Springs. It was 119° the other day.
I'm from the Lake Havasu area. Someone reported 126. Heh.
Speaking for the warm-blooded species here, somewhere around 17-20 degC is good for me.
Something is wrong with you….or maybe you are woman….
Pretty normal, actually. Many people are always cold.
I have the oppostie problem. Above 75 and I'm sweating. I'm happy around 50 and sunny or 60 and cloudy or breezey.
(You'd never surive my house during the winter 56 is the best I can afford.)
I used to be almost exactly the same way, but then I moved to SoCal from Buffalo. I still sweat easily when it's really hot, when everybody else is sweating too, but I adapted fairly quickly to normal California temperatures (even out in the desert). And now back in Buffalo, I am much less tolerant of cold.
I think most people will tell you that there's an optimal climate for them, but in reality most people can adapt, to some degree, given enough time.
Of course your body type plays into it as well, but not as much as I thought it would… I'm kind of stocky and occasionally slightly flabby and that wasn't a big issue in California and didn't protect me from the cold in Buffalo after adapting to CA.
I think most people will tell you that there's an optimal climate for them, but in reality most people can adapt, to some degree, given enough time.
I have yet to adapt to Baltimore summers and I grew up here.
Yeah… a lot of people from elsewhere in the country don't really understand how terrible summers in east coast states can be, even in non-heatwave years. The past few weeks in Buffalo it's been as bad as Thailand in the hot season.
I'll take Alaska thank you.
I live in Fargo. Anything above 80 and I'm sweating.
Heard some time ago that the temperature that the naked body feels neither hot nor cold is 81 degrees.
My baseline body temperature runs between 95.5° and 96.5°. It certainly seems to affect my need for warmth.
37º C
you are welcome.
Yes, the only thing that should be at 98.6 is the water I make my tea with!
Someone proofing this stuff?
"When the weather gets to warm, it's a lot hard to make the heat exchange."
Should be:
"When the weather gets *too* warm, it's a lot *harder* to make the heat exchange.
Can we get a browser plugin that automatically converts silly scales of measurement to sensible ones?
Ill have my temperatures in °Rø please.
Only cowardly prudish people think 98.6 degrees is the body's natural body temperature.
All assholes know that it is higher than that…

Rushford City Council Report: Possible New �JOBZ� for Rushford
Fri, Aug 15th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
The Rushford City Council took advantage of the chance to participate in a multi-county Job Opportunity Building Zone application at their August 11th meeting. JOBZ, a marketing tool of the state of Minnesota, has a goal of stimulating development in "distressed" areas of the state by providing local and state tax exemptions. The City of Rushford chose to request approval of 53 acres (of a possible 5,000 acres in an eleven county region). The chosen land would include all of the undeveloped industrial park, land owned by Wallace Himlie near the former Lucas plant, by Dennis Darr and by Riverside Electronics. Under JOBZ, "just about everything is excluded from taxes except the land." Obviously, this would help market the included properties.
The council stressed JOBZ would be targeting manufacturing and they would have development agreements guaranteeing wages, jobs, etc. JOBZ is not involved with financing retail development. In answer to a question from Himlie, the council stated that if land was rezoned residential, it would come out of JOBZ and other land would be designated JOBZ instead. Water Issues Once again the council turned its concern to water issues. Mike Bubany, a financial consultant from David Drown Associates, offered his suggestions in a presentation on the financing of water improvements in the city. Noting that the state requires water improvements to be totally funded by water fees, he suggested a base rate of $9.48 with no free gallons and an additional rate of $4.47 per 1,000 gallons of water used. A reduced construction cost, resulting from the city doing more of the construction itself, could conceivably result in a base rate of $7.81 with the same variable usage rate of $4.47 per 1,000 gallons. Currently residents pay a base rate of $9.10 per month and receive 18,000 gallons "free." Any water used over that amount currently costs $2.10 per 1,000 gallons. Bubany opined that there is no one way to balance base rate costs versus volume usage, but informed the council "the rates are not quite where they need to be." Bubany also mentioned the possibility of special assessments to the residents who would benefit from the improved circulation and elimination of dead ends through looping. Councilman Ron Mierau quickly responded, "If we tried that we�d probably get bills for destroyed clothes! (from those residents)" Mayor T.S. Roberton commented, "If we don�t raise rates more than just covering debt services, we won�t have money to fix well number four." No decisions were made regarding the water rates; Larry Bartelson, city administrator, will work up illustrations to show the effect rates increases will have on water customers. In a further water matter, the council learned that Chuck Pederson was currently getting water supply from a garden hose attached to a hydrant because his sandpoint well had failed. Although the ordinance states that once a homeowner�s system fails he must attach to city water, the council opted to follow an ordinance which states that if the adjacent property is not hooked up to the city, the property in question doesn�t have to hook up to the city. Since the county owns the land between Pedersons and rest of the city and intends to keep the property for road right of way, the county has no interest in installing a city water line. The council chose this position because they were concerned about creating another dead end with the potential of stagnant water. The Pedersons will pursue drilling their own new well. Other business In other business, the council: � referred the insurance settlement agreement for the tennis courts to the city attorney for his inspection; � heard the gravel path under the North End bridge would likely be approved the state for a temporary permit; � agreed to pay the bill from Otomo Engineering with the city covering the PCA permit fee and the remainder of the costs billed to developer Mike Sexhauer; � decided to pursue the purchase of land dedicated for future city biosolid dispersal; � learned Commissioner Mat Kramer of the Department of Employment and Economic Development will be visiting Rushford August 27th along with Sen. Kierlin, Rep. Davids and other dignitaries; � authorized an execution of grant agreement so police chief Sam Stensgard can apply for a Basic Safe Communities Grant; � took advantage of a sale on a 2004 Crown Victoria police car to be delivered after January 1, 2004; � heard the repaired electric transformer would be reinstalled August 27th at 1:30 AM with neighbors of the site to be informed if the street will be blocked.

Glasgow 2014 tickets go on sale
Tickets to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow go on sale at 10am today.
Tickets to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow go on sale at 10am today.
A surge of people applying for tickets for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games led to delays of up to an hour as one million went on sale today.
Within minutes of tickets going on sale, the organising committee's website had crashed due to the huge demand.
Organisers said tickets - which range from £15 to £250 - were available until mid-September and urged people to be "patient" in their quest to buy tickets for the event.
After Roy Hodgson's resignation following England's humiliating exit from Euro 2016, who are the leading contenders to replace him?
The beleaguered Labour Party leader is clinging onto power in the face of as many as 150 MPs voting to remove him from the top job today.
Mr Osborne said he is "not the person to provide the unity my party needs".

Bruyneel leaves RadioShack
10/13/2012 @ 6:39 AMGENEVA (AP) - Lance Armstrong's former manager Johan Bruyneel has left the RadioShack-Nissan team after he was singled out as a central figure in the former Tour de France champion's doping program.
The RadioShack-Nissan team said the decision was by "mutual agreement," adding Bruyneel "can no longer direct the team in an efficient and comfortable way."
Bruyneel said he was leaving to "concentrate on my defense," having chosen an arbitration hearing to fight charges leveled by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
Friday's announcement came two days after USADA's damning report on Armstrong exposed the doping program in the U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams that Bruyneel managed when Armstrong rode to seven straight Tour de France victories from 1999-2005.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With 200 million households belonging to the consuming classes, China's second to fourth tier cities are arguably the most important consumer segment in the world. But they are tight-fisted. In 2011, first tier markets had a disposable income value of 1 trillion RMB, while second to fourth tier cities had a combined disposable income value of roughly 8 trillion RMB1. It is no surprise that advertising spend in Tier 2 to 3 markets was more than four times greater than Tier 1 markets, as the consuming class population is 7 times bigger2.
Ogilvy & Mather China's consumer insights and trends team Discovery revisited lower tier markets in their most recent study, "China Beyond – Change & Continuity," marking the third time in the last seven years that the team has focused on lower tier cities. Based on research over a span of nine months, the 200+ paged book is packed with data, illustrated with photos and rich in stories about the everyday lives of the people who inhabit these cities.
"'China Beyond - Change & Continuity' is sweeping in its scope, a book that leaves no nook or cranny in the lower tier landscape unexplored. From the intimate domestic spaces to the online bridge to the world, from the frenetic warren-like wholesale markets to the expansive parks where the young whizz on rollerblades in the shadow of granite statues of revolutionaries, this is a record and commentary of a China that is once again poised at the brink of change," said Scott Spirit, Chief Strategy Officer, WPP Group.
The book finds that while some constants remain, a lot of change has occurred as well. While traditional values such as family ties remain intact, a new breed of youth has emerged who do not necessarily wish to abide by their families' expectations. Spurred by job creation, the availability of high quality housing and education, and a relaxed pace of life, the first wave of reverse migration is now in full swing – particularly those who migrated to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou a decade ago and have now realized that after years of hard work, they are still unable to afford homes, cars or their child's education. With these interests at heart, shoppers are embracing e-commerce with enthusiasm and snapping up deals on products that are unavailable in their local stores. Alibaba's Tmall, a hugely popular e-commerce platform for local and international brands to sell in mainland China, have rendered bigger brands as more accessible to these lower tier consumers. These lower-tier residents are hungry for new experiences and have time at their leisure, so that local businesses able to can often occupy these consumers for hours.
"China's lower-tier settings are no longer a world away," said Shenan Chuang, CEO of O&M Greater China. "The changes in the consumer landscape are driven by the expansion of the Internet and other digital innovations that have allowed Chinese consumers to be much more cognizant of the world outside their cities or towns than they once were, even if they've never migrated themselves."
Notably, the study finds that:
- Food safety, environmental pollution and the rising cost of property and healthcare are the top concerns. These fears are based on the residents' own experiences, amplified by the rapid sharing of experiences through the Internet. Some local brands are tapping into this anxiety by marketing their products as "ecologically safe" or natural – even if the consumer are skeptical of those claims.
- There is a rise in compassion and belief in community values that is leading to community action. Many young people, particularly the post 90s generation that was once labeled as being selfish and ungrateful, are coming forward to make a difference. As social media has given this generation the means to express themselves, especially in smaller cities where the youth have few other channels available for expression, they are now much more outspoken with usually very emotional responses to current events. In addition, their solutions to problems can be quite creative.
- Lower tier residents appreciate their more natural and relaxed environment. In comparison to second tier cities, many of which are currently in the midst of a construction boom, those living in Tier 3 and 4 cities believe that their towns are less polluted, offer a more relaxed lifestyle, lower living costs, smoother public transportation and higher public security. Interestingly, a majority of fourth tier residents want to be entrepreneurs, whereas those in second and third tier cities prefer stable jobs in the government or SOEs (state-owned enterprises).
- There is a seasonality in purchasing trends that goes beyond Chinese New Year. The seasonality is most marked when teenagers leave home to attend university, or – more importantly for the lower tier – join the army. Parents buy their children new mobile phones, laptop computers, sportswear and new clothes for the challenging years ahead. China has also come up with its own version of Cyber Monday deals: Singles Day on November 11, when online retailers rack up huge sales mainly from Tier 2 to 4 shoppers, many of whom have taken advantage of the discounts on winter wear at the onset of the season.
- The affinity with open spaces continues to be strong. As reported in the previous studies about lower tier cities, many engagements and interactions happen in public. However, there are now many more opportunities and spaces for people to spend time with their families and friends. New public parks have emerged, as have Chinese government-designated scenic spots near the cities. New shopping malls have large interactive and entertainment zones where brands encourage visitors to sing, dance, roller-blade, fly kites, and graffiti on walls.
- Counterfeit brands have taken their game upmarket. Three years ago, fake brands stayed in the realm of FMCG and consumer durable goods. Perhaps due to crackdowns on harmful products by local authorities, these brands were not as visible this time. Instead, copycat luxury hotels have erected, including Hiyatt (a fake Hyatt) and Marvelot (a fake Marriott) as well as counterfeit fashion brands such as Jack Walk (right next door to a real Jack Jones) and S-Squared (a fake D-Squared). As the first wave of luxury shoppers takes root in lower tier markets, the emergence of these new fake brands serve as a learning experience for them.
- The mobile Internet has taken over and online shopping requires local connectors. Across the city tiers, youth and itinerant entrepreneurs alike are using Tencent QQ rather than sending text messages, comparing prices before making a purchase decision and listening to music on a digital device. Apple enjoys universal recognition as a great brand, but few people own Apple products as they say that other brands were "good enough for their needs." As much as they appreciate the choices, deals and convenience of e-commerce, many are uncertain about the quality of their purchases and seek guidance from trusted sources within their wider social circles.
Kunal Sinha, Chief Knowledge Officer, O&M China, who has led all three editions of the agency's research in lower-tier markets, observes, "Four or five years ago, we found that people in China's small towns were fiercely protective and proud of their traditional crafts and culture. Now they remain proud, but want to embrace modernity in not only what they wear, but also in the way they're doing up their homes, in their consumption of entertainment, and even in what they're eating. The local versions of Starbucks are doing roaring business!"
Strategies and Implications for Businesses
A few examples of what these insights mean for businesses in China:
- Brands should fuse health and beauty benefits in their branding. Consumers are suspicious that beauty products might be unhealthy, toxic, and unnatural – thus seeking reassurance about ingredients. The brand messages could be about "being beautiful is good for you," or when these products are being bought as gifts, that "I care about you, as much as your health."
- Involve the local community in public sanitation drives: organize clean neighborhood contests (with brands as sponsors and support from the local government). These initiatives create corporate social responsibility opportunities as well.
- Position technology brands around the themes of empowerment, connectivity and being smart. Lower tier residents want to feel that they have the same opportunities as those in bigger cities.
- Recruit and educate online connectors to become a brand's champion. Help them master their Weibo, Weixin and other blogging skills. Keep them updated with product news, as they are vital in instilling confidence amongst those who are just beginning to shop online. Provide assurances about product delivery and return policies.
- Build the short-distance travel destination market, enabled by bus and car travel. Seed ideas in the lower tier resident's mind about local destinations and start creating a range of options for various interest groups, such as cycling, camping, hiking, fishing, fresh fruit and vegetable picking, adventure sports, local music festivals and heritage exploration, etc.

About "China Beyond Change & Continuity"
"China Beyond" is an in-depth ethnographic and quantitative study into consumers, brands, communication and retail opportunities in China's second to four tier cities. From August 2011 to March 2012 the Ogilvy & Mather China Discovery team, in cooperation with TNS China, conducted field research in three provincial capitals (Chengdu, Changsha and Shenyang), three prefecture level cities and three county towns in Sichuan, Hunan and Liaoning provinces, covering a diverse expanse of geographic, cultural and economic regions. The study was conducted through home interviews with 48 families, 60 retailers and 15 internet cafe owners, combined with observations in shopping malls and public parks. Eighty percent of the respondent families were native to their city, 20 percent were migrants. The quantitative study, amongst 2,200 middle class families, surveyed their beliefs and attitudes towards family, life, risk, novelty, ambition and fashion. The study also aims to map out their shopping, media and entertainment habits and identify influences on purchase decisions.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.
