Drive mobile marketing engagement with value-laden messages
Mobile engagement and analytics firm, Hipcricket, has released data showing that despite most mobile users having received mobile alerts or text messages from a brand, few provided content that was relevant or useful.
Two-thirds (66%) of the 1,202 U.S. adults involved in Hipcricket's study said that, in the six months prior to being surveyed, they had received a mobile alert or text message from a brand or business.
However, less than half of those found that mobile communication to be useful. According to 52%, the messages felt "intrusive or spammy" and 46% said the messages were not relevant.
While consumers are now actively engaging with brands and businesses via mobile, Hipcricket's research highlights the need for mobile marketers to offer consumers something of value. Indeed, 41% of survey respondents said they would be more likely to share information such as location or demographics data in exchange for something of value such as coupons or offers.
"This data, properly analyzed, can unlock a treasure trove of information that drives more personalized, relevant mobile marketing," said Doug Stovall, chief operating officer at Hipcricket. "Companies that can synthesize and apply data to present the correct offer at the correct time are going to win at mobile marketing. Those that don't risk backlash from dissatisfied customers who will turn to other brands that can provide the information they seek."

Balestra Capital founder James Melcher is reasserting his control over the hedge fund he founded 35 years ago.
The New York-based firm yesterday said that Melcher's two co-portfolio managers would leave the firm at the end of June. Following the departures of Norman Cerk and Matthew Luck, Melcher will once again serve as the sole portfolio manager at the firm, which manages $1.64 billion, CNBC reports.
The exits of Cerk and Luck come amidst difficulties for the macro fund, which is down 7.8% this year. The fund, which returned 7.82% last year, a fraction of the return posted by the broader markets, also lost 6.08% in 2012, after nearly tripling in 2007 and adding a further 45.8% in 2008.
"Over the last few months, it became increasingly clear that we need a single voice and vision regarding the future of the firm and the portfolio management of Balestra Capital Partners," the firm wrote to investors.
Cerk, who serves as Balestra's head trader, has been with the firm since 1997, two years before the firm's eponymous fund debuted. Luckett joined Balestra in 2004 and leads its portfolio strategy, research and risk.

Best cars in the UK: Skoda Superb and Yeti top list for owner satisfaction (again) while Jaguar is best-rated manufacturer
Skoda continues to dominate in the latest league table of car owner satisfaction, with two of its models topping the list once again.
The aptly-named Skoda Superb is the model that owners are most satisfied with, while its 4x4 Yeti came second. Topping the manufacturer list was Jaguar, followed in second place by Lexus.
The Czech car manufacturer has had a stellar year. Last month, 46,000 car owners took part in the Auto Express Driver Power car satisfaction report which crowned the Yeti top car – and the Superb second.
Superb and Spark: The Skoda Superb topped the league for satisfaction - while the Spark finished bottom
Skoda came fourth in the manufacturer list, with Honda third, and Mercedes-Benz fifth.
WhatCar? said: 'Skoda's knock-out performance comes on the back of a 20 per cent sales increase in 2012.
'Winning attributes included practicality that didn't compromise driving appeal and prices made more affordable by Skoda's no VAT and 0 per cent finance offers.'
The list is compiled from 16,000 car owners by magazine WhatCar? and information services company JD Power and Associated.
Third in the list was the Jaguar XF, with equal fourth place being occupied by the Citroen DS3 and the Lexus RX .
The 116th and bottom-placed car was the Chevrolet Spark, with the Alfa Romeo Mito in 115th place and the Fiat Grande Punto/Evo 114th.
Jaguar: Topped the list of car manufacturer satisfaction - pictured, the new F-Type
Bottom of the 27-company list was Chevrolet, with Alfa Romeo 26th and Mitsubishi 25th.
WhatCar? said: 'Another triumphant performance from Jaguar comes hot on the heels of a record sales year. Owners gave the cars and slick customer service a big thumbs up.
'Despite XF owners reporting slightly more problems this year, workshop bills didn't faze them as much. Indeed, in a trade association survey, dealers reported lower labour and parts prices.'
Chas Hallett, WhatCar? editor-in-chief, added: 'This is another great achievement for everyone at Jaguar. This study shows that customers are really satisfied with their Jaguars.'

Tip for Using Color: Do not be afraid to use dark colors when there is ample light in a room... they can make the space even cozier.
Colors Used: i used Benjamin Moore's Bella Blue for the darker color. It had the perfect intensity with the gray undertones to keep it from being too bright. The top color is Glidden's Dusty Miller. It was the perfect gray with a hint of green in it. It took me a long time to pick the colors, but i think they make the perfect combo.
Thanks for your colorful entry Meghan and good luck!

Both APUs are scheduled to ship to customers in the first half of 2013.
Lienhard was most recently vice president and general manager of Freescale Semiconductor's Networking Processor Division, with global responsibility for product management, engineering and operations. Prior to this role, he served as vice president and general manager of the company's Multimedia Applications Division, a division responsible for providing ARM application processors to the automotive, consumer and industrial markets.
Before Freescale, Lienhard held a variety of leadership positions at Conexant Systems, Infineon Technologies, Siemens Semiconductor, and Siemens Defense.
Lienhard earned a Diplom-Ingenieur degree in electrical engineering from Fachhochschule in Munich, Germany.

Google's database inventions by themselves, according to Stephen E. Arnold, who has written a patent-centric study of the company, show that Google's research unit has superseded Bell Labs and Xerox PARC as the place for technical innovation in the U.S., if not the world.
Arnold (pictured below) is president of Arnold Information Technology and the author of an earlier book, "The Google Legacy," that changed how many investors and technology experts view the Mountain View, Calif., company.
His new study, "Google Version 2.0: The Calculating Predator," is a detailed review of patents and patent applications filed by Google employees since mid 2005. The new study's index lists 90 patents and applications of the more than 200 that Arnold has identified and analyzed.
Arnold examines more than 24 of these patents in detail in the 266-page study, identifying their technological importance and potential business impact. These inventions signal, he says, where Google focuses its research and provide insight into areas into which Google could move. "Telecommunications, motion pictures and entertainment, financial services, and publishing are just a few of traditional market sectors that Google can enter and disrupt without too many technical gyrations," he says. "Most of these market sectors are blissfully ignorant of Google's capabilities."
His study is the first to use text analytics and intelligence community techniques to glean business insights from publicly available Google patent applications and patents, Arnold says, noting:
"To my knowledge, no one has attempted the type of invention deconstruction that I have undertaken. Also, no one has yet taken the Google technology and made an attempt to characterize what functions it can support. The nature of patent documents is to describe certain information in ways that can be quite difficult to understand."
His book's title, says Arnold, reflects Google's love affair with mathematics, which is part of what he calls the "Google DNA." He continues: "Google is perhaps today's best example of a company built on calculative thinking. Characteristics of calculative thinking include efficiency and logic, not emotional reactions. An elegant proof of a theorem bundles intelligence and beauty into a construct of great beauty. . . . Like a grand master in chess, Google uses strategic feints to obtain its objective -- winning the game."
Identifying Google's patents and patent applications is no easy task for several reasons, Arnold found. ". . . Google does not list the company affiliation of inventors of pending patents," the study notes. "A search for Google patents with a query for the term 'Google' is almost useless. . . ."
Arnold describes his approach to this study as marrying two types of information. "First, I have the patent applications, patents, and technical papers," he says. "Then I have the 'soft' discussion of how selected technologies disclosed in the public patent documents seem to relate to Google's capabilities, business tactics and products and services. . . . Each of the patent discussions is introduced by a business commentary and followed by a discussion of the possibilities the technologies described contain."
"Calculating Predator" picks up where "Legacy" left off in depicting Google as more than a search and advertising company. Arnold observes in the study: "Google Version 1.0 was the Web search and advertising company. . . .
"Google Version 2.0 is another creature entirely," he adds, noting: "I use the term Googzilla to describe the current incarnation of Google. The idea is that Googzilla is big, powerful, and indifferent to the insects and ants crushed by its massive paws. Google Version 2.0 shares the search and ad capabilities of Google Version 1.0, but it is much, much more. . . . With a little more effort, Google could become the largest information publishing, distributing, archiving, and retailing operation in the world."
Throughout the study Arnold evaluates the competitiveness with Google of companies such as Yahoo and Amazon. Its would-be competitors are no match for Googzilla, he indicates. "Yahoo operates the computer equivalent of the Pan- Slavic movement in the early 20th century," he says. "Many different systems suck resources, and it's unlikely that its existing plumbing is up to the type of algorithms that Dr. [Anna] Patterson uses [at Google]. Ask.com is not in the running. Barry Diller is too abstemious to invest massively in Google- like innovation in hardware and software."

The British Fleet Air Arm in World War IIby Stephen Walsh Mark Barber
This is a concise history of the Royal Navy's air arm during World War II (1939-1945), from the Arctic convoys, to the battle for Malta, to the last raids on Japan. The contribution of British Naval aviation to the ultimate Allied victory cannot be underestimated. Amazingly the Admiralty only had 406 operational pilots and 8 carriers when war broke out, but a mere 6 years later there were over 3,000 operational pilots and 53 aircraft carriers patrolling the seas in every theater of the war. The author charts the rapid evolution of the Fleet Air Arm during the war years as air power took over the cutting edge of naval warfare from surface battleships. The carriers were in action from the first with actions by HMS Ark Royal and Courageous in September 1939 to the major actions of the carrier force off Japan in the closing days of the war. This book offers a complete overview from recruitment and training to the thrilling accounts of operational successes and failures. Discover some of the most dramatic actions of the war as Royal Navy aces battled against Axis forces scoring both the first and last kills of the war.
British Generals in the War of 1812by Wesley B. Turner
In British Generals in the War of 1812 Wesley Turner takes a fresh look at five British Generals - Sir George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Roger Sheaffe, Baron Francis de Rottenburg, and Gordon Drummond - who held the highest civil and military command in the Canadas. He considers their formative experiences in the British Army and on active service in European and West Indian theatres and evaluates their roles in the context of North American conditions, which were very different from those of Europe. Wesley Turner answers questions about the quality of each general's leadership, particularly that of Isaac Brock, the best known of these five generals. He argues that Brock's charge up Queenston Heights - the basis for his heroic stature - was brave but hardly a demonstration of competent leadership. Turner also shows us that while the other generals displayed courage in combat, they had to face problems raised by American military successes and by the strains of warfare on the civilian population. British Generals in the War of 1812 explores why these commanders succeeded or failed and why, except for Brock, they are all but forgotten.
British Government and the Constitutionby Adam Tomkins Colin Turpin
Like the immensely successful previous edition of this highly respected work, this new edition has been jointly prepared and thorough updated by Colin Turpin and Adam Tomkins. It takes fully into account constitutional developments under the coalition government and examines the most recent case law of the Supreme Court, the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. While it includes extensive material and commentary on contemporary constitutional practice, the book covers the historical traditions and the continuity of the British constitution as well as the current tide of change. Designed principally for law students, the book includes substantial extracts from parliamentary and other political sources, as well as from legislation and case law, making it ideal for politics and government students. With its fresh design it provides a full yet accessible account of the British constitution at a fascinating moment in its ongoing development.
British Heavy Cruisers 1939-45by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
The idea of a heavy cruiser emerged in the aftermath of the First World War, and was closely linked to the limits set by the inter-war Washington Treaty on naval armament. The pre-Great War concept of armoured cruisers had been abandoned, but in their stead the Admiralty saw a place for powerful cruisers, able to patrol the sea lanes of the British Empire, and which were well-enough armed that they could destroy enemy commerce cruisers of the kind used by the Germans in the last war.The result was a group of British warships which were collectively known as the "Washington Treaty Cruisers", which did everything the Admiralty wanted, but which fitted within the limits imposed by the Washington Treaty - an armament of 8-inch guns, and a displacement of less than 10,000 tons. These impressive cruisers were high-sided, spacious and stately - perfect peacetime ambassadors for British power. In war they also packed a considerable punch. While they all carried powerful 8-inch guns, they were also given an effective armoured belt, making them proof against any foreign cruisers then in service. During the Second World War the Royal Navy's thirteen heavy cruisers saw service in every theatre of war, whether taking part in major sea battles in the Mediterranean, delivering the coup de grace to the Bismarck in the North Atlantic, or enduring the unwanted attention of kamikaze pilots in the Pacific.

The British Home Front 1939-45by Martin Brayley Malcolm Mcgregor
Osprey's study of the British home front during World War II (1939-1945). The population of Britain was mobilized to support the war effort on a scale unseen in any other Western democracy - or in Nazi Germany. They endured long working shifts, shortages of food and all other goods, and complete government control of their daily lives. Most men and women were conscripted or volunteered for additional tasks outside their formal working hours. Under the air raids that destroyed the centres of many towns and made about 2 million homeless, more than 60,000 civilians were killed and 86,000 seriously injured. This fascinating illustrated summary of wartime life, and the organizations that served on the Home front, is a striking record of endurance and sacrifice.
British Imperialism, 1688-2000 (second edition)by A. G. Hopkins P. J. Cain
A milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, this important book radically reinterprets the course of modern economic development and the causes of overseas expansion during the past three centuries. Employing their concept of 'gentlemanly capitalism', the authors draw imperial and domestic British history together to show how the shape of the nation and its economy depended on international and imperial ties, and how these ties were undone to produce the postcolonial world of today. BRITISH IMPERIALISM has received numerous accolades from scholars and the wider reading public, and is winner of the American Historical Association's prestigious Forkosch Prize. This second edition, issued for the first time in a single volume, has two substantial new chapters; a Foreword assesses the development of the debate since the book's original publication; an Afterword discusses the imperial era in the context of the current controversy over globalization, and shows how the study of the age of empires remains relevant to understanding the postcolonial world.
The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspectiveby Robert C. Allen
Why did the industrial revolution take place in eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British industrial revolution was a successful response to the global economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also fostered industrial development since more people could afford schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers made these new technologies more cost-effective during the nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread around the world.
British Infantryman vs German Infantrymanby Peter Dennis Stephen Bull
This engaging study pits the volunteers of Kitchener's 'New Armies' against the German veterans who defended the Somme sector in the bloody battles of July-November 1916. The mighty struggle for the Somme sector of the Western Front in the second half of 1916 has come to be remembered for the dreadful toll of casualties inflicted on Britain's 'New Armies' by the German defenders on the first day of the offensive, 1 July. The battle continued, however, throughout the autumn and only came to a close in the bitter cold of mid-November. The British plan relied on the power of artillery to suppress and destroy the German defences; the infantry were tasked with taking and holding the German trenches, but minimal resistance was anticipated. In the event the defences were damaged but not destroyed, and small numbers of defenders, many of whom had garrisoned the Somme sector for many months and knew the ground well, inflicted appalling casualties on the British attackers. Both sides incurred major losses, however; German doctrine emphasised that the first line had to be held or retaken at all costs, a rigid defensive policy that led to very high casualties as the Germans threw survivors into ad hoc, piecemeal counterattacks all along the line.Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork and based on meticulous reassessment of the sources.
British Infantryman vs Zulu Warriorby Peter Dennis Ian Knight
Expert ananlyis and first-hand accounts of combat during the Anglo-Zulu war in 1879: Nyezane, iSandlwana, and Khambula. As seen in the movie Zulu, starring Michael Caine, Zulu discipline and courage overcame British firepower at iSandlwana, and almost at Rorke's Drift. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, expert analysis and carefully chosen first-hand accounts, this absorbing study traces the development of infantry tactics in the Anglo-Zulu War by examining three key clashes at unit level.The short but savage Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 pitched well-equipped but complacent British soldiers and their auxiliaries into combat with one of history's finest fighting forces, the Zulu Nation. The clashes between these two very different combatants prompted rapid tactical innovation on both sides, as the British and their Zulu opponents sought to find the optimal combination of mobility and firepower.Fought on 22 January 1879, the clash at Nyezane saw Zulu forces, among them the uMxapho ibutho, ambushing a British column; the British forces, including Lieutenant Martin's company of the 2/3rd Foot, engaged their opponents in the prescribed fashion, as honed in the recent conflict with the Xhosa a year earlier. The Zulu attack was premature, and by 9.30am, after about 90 minutes of heavy fighting, they were repulsed. The British tactics worked, but largely only because the Zulus had an uncharacteristically low numerical superiority.At iSandlwana later that same day, however, the shortcomings of the British tactics, obscured at Nyezane, were made brutally apparent. The Zulus had sufficient manpower not only to withstand that level of casualties but also to complete their encirclement of the British forces, and as the British line disintegrated the firefight gave way to the close-quarter fighting at which the Zulus excelled; not one man of the 1/24th and 2/24th Foot survived. The British forces surrounded and crushed at iSandlwana included Captain W.E. Mostyn's company of the 1/24th Foot, which was initially deployed in advance of the British camp but was later withdrawn to form part of the firing line; their opponents included the iNgobamkhosi ibutho, many of whose warriors left first-hand accounts of the battle.While iSandlwana demonstrated the strengths of the Zulu tactics, it also demonstrated their weaknesses - for the casualties inflicted by the British foreshadowed the carnage they would reap once the British wholeheartedly embraced close-order tactics and defended positions. At Khambula on 29 March 1879, a much bigger British force adopted a defensive position and defeated the same Zulu units who had previously triumphed at iSandlwana, including the uKhandempemvu ibutho, which came close to storming the British defences. At iSandlwana, the Zulus had been able to screen their advance with skirmishers and take advantage of the broken and grassy ground, but at Khambula their spontaneous attack did not allow them to disperse properly and they were funnelled together on a contracting front over woefully exposed ground. The British had learned the tactical lessons of iSandlwana and deliberately sought to restrict the Zulu ability to manoeuvre and co-ordinate their attacks, and to concentrate their own firepower.
The British Isles: A History of Four Nationsby Hugh Kearney
This is a new edition of Hugh Kearney's classic account of the British Isles from pre-Roman times to the present. When this book was first published it was acclaimed as a unique account of British history, distinguished by its treatment of English history as part of a wider 'history of four nations'. Acknowledging the significance of England, it attempts to deal with the histories of Wales, Ireland and Scotland in their own terms, while recognising that they too have political, religious and cultural divides. In this new edition the author takes into account the recent historiographical renaissances in Wales, Ireland and Scotland and examines the rise of a new multi-ethnic Britain and its implications for 'four-nations' history. This book offers a valuable case-study of the complexities which lie behind nationhood in Europe and will be essential reading for all students of British and Irish history.
British Light Cruisers 1939-45by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
Cruisers became Britain's essential vessel for protecting battleships, carriers, and convoys versus Japanese, Italian, and Nazi German commerce raiders, submarines, aircraft, and destroyers. The light cruiser was a natural development of the sailing frigate - a fast multi-purpose warship that could patrol the sea lanes, protect convoys and scout for enemy battle fleets. By the inter-war period the need for this type of ship was even more important, given the increasing need for protection from aircraft, and the need to screen the fleet from submarines or destroyers. During the 1930's a new group of British light cruisers were commissioned, designed to replace an earlier generation of warships designed during the Great War. These new ships were sleek, fast, and relied on the 6-inch gun - a tried and tested weapon that combined hitting power with a high rate of fire. A second generation of light cruisers followed during the late 1930's, armed with twelve 6-inch guns apiece. One of these - HMS Belfast - is still afloat today. Finally the threat posed by German aircraft led to the conversion of some older warships into anti-aircraft cruisers - a stopgap measure until a new class of these powerful and much-needed warships entered service. By this time wartime experience had shown that the British light cruiser was one of the most versatile types of ship in the Royal Navy, able to protect other warships, bombard enemy shores, guard life-saving convoys and intercept and destroy enemy warships. These were truly the workhorses of the wartime Royal Navy. While the battleships and carriers grabbed the headlines, these sleek, elegant warships quietly got on with the job of securing control of the seas.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The British Lionby Tony Schumacher
In this crackling alternate history thriller set in the years after World War II--the riveting sequel to The Darkest Hour--London detective John Rossett joins forces with his Nazi boss to save the commander's kidnapped daughter as the Germans race to make the first atomic bomb.With the end of the war, the victorious Germans now occupy a defeated Great Britain. In London, decorated detective John Henry Rossett, now reporting to the Nazi victors, lies in a hospital bed recovering from gunshot wounds. Desperate to avoid blame over the events that led to the shooting, his boss, Ernst Koehler, covers up the incident. But when Koehler's wife and daughter are kidnapped by American spies, the terrified German turns to the only man he trusts to help him--a shrewd cop who will do whatever is necessary to get the job done: John Rossett.Surviving his brush with death, Rossett agrees to save his friend's daughter. But in a chaotic new world ruled by treachery and betrayal, doing the right thing can get a man killed. Caught between the Nazi SS, the violent British resistance, and Americans with very uncertain loyalties, Rossett must secretly make his way out of London and find Ruth Hartz, a Jewish scientist working in Cambridge. Spared from death because of her intellect and expertise, she is forced to work on developing the atom bomb for Germany. Though she knows it could end any hope of freedom in Europe and maybe even the world, Ruth must finish the project--if she, too, wants to survive.

British Literature: Traditions and Changeby PLC Editors Staff
NIMAC-sourced textbook
British Mark I Tank 1916by Tony Bryan David Fletcher
In 1915 a machine christened Little Willie changed the way that wars were fought. Little Willie was a fully tracked armoured vehicle that could break a trench system. Its development was completed in December 1915, but by then it had already been superseded by an improved design, Mother. This was the first rhomboid tank, and the prototype for the Mark 1 which would influence a whole generation of tank building. This book details the development of the Mark I, and its surprise arrival in France in the middle of 1916 during the closing weeks of the battles of the Somme.
The British Moralists and the Internal "ought", 1640-1740by Stephen Darwall
This book is a major work in the history of ethics, and provides the first study of early modern British philosophy in several decades. Professor Darwall discerns two distinct traditions feeding into the moral philosophy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On the one hand, there is the empirical, naturalist tradition, comprising Hobbes, Locke, Cumberland, Hutcheson, and Hume, which argues that obligation is the practical force that empirical discoveries acquire in the process of deliberation. On the other hand, there is a group including Cudworth, Shaftesbury, Butler, and in some moments Locke, which views obligation as inconceivable without autonomy and which seeks to develop a theory of the will as self-determining.
British Motorcycles of the 1960s and '70sby Mick Walker
For the first half of the 20th century Great Britain led the world in motorcycle design and production, exporting its products to countries in every section of the globe. However, as the second half of the century began in 1960 this once great industry commenced what was to be a terminal decline. During the 1960s and '70s Britain still manufactured a wide range of machines, but a combination of poor management, lack of investment, foreign competition (notably from Japan), and the arrival of the small, affordable car transpired to effectively sound the death knell of the British motorcycle by the end of the 1970s.
British Muslim Convertsby Kate Zebiri
When the Western mass-media talk of conversion to Islam, we are bombarded with accounts of vulnerable people brainwashed into a culture of extremism. However, in reality, the vast majority who convert are well-educated, liberal in outlook, and doing so as the result of a long-considered and heart-felt decision. What is more, their numbers are growing. In British Muslim Converts, Kate Zebiri looks at these cases of conversion, and examines the contribution that converts are making to an indigenous Western Islamic thought and discourse. Overcoming the West/Islam divide just by virtue of who they are, Zebiri examines the converts' unique potential to act as cultural mediators between Muslims and non-Muslims, as well as their ability to act as a reforming force. Informed by interviews with converts as well as published and internet material, this fascinating study is the only exploration of this unique group in British society.
British Plant Communitiesby J. S. Rodwell C. D. Pigott D. A. Ratcliffe A.J.C.Malloch H.J.B.Birks M.C.F.Proctor D. W. Shimwell J. P. Huntley E. Radford M. J. Wigginton P. Wilkins
British Plant Communities is the first systematic and comprehensive account of natural vegetation types of Great Britain. It covers all natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland), representing the fruits of fifteen years research by leading plant ecologists. Over 250 plant communities are described in the five volumes, with summaries of their vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens. There are full details in the text of the composition and structure of the vegetation, its relationships to habitat factors and its occurence in characteristic spatial patterns and successions. Numerous maps show the distribution of the communities through Britain and all the vegetation types are related to their closest equivalents in mainland Europe. For each major group of communities an introduction outlines the range of floristic variation and relates it to important environmental influences. A key provides the reader with a means of identifying vegetation types encountered in the field. There are indices to the communities and to their existing synonyms, and to all the plant species encountered in the survey. An extensive bibliography gives full details of the numerous literature references cited. British Plant Communities breaks new ground in wedding traditional Continental phytosociology with the deep concern in Britain to understand how vegetation works. It is intended as a working tool, offering a reliable framework for a wide variety of teaching, research, and management activities in ecology, conservation, and land use planning.

Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
On Kickstarter, a "MyPi" industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion. You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that don't need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like Raspberry Pi Zero, which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

Coen's journey stops off in Tocumwal
Cystic fibrosis sufferer Coen Ashton visits Tocumwal as part of his 2000km jet ski journey.March 12, 2014 4:25am
Coen Ashton (centre) with locals (back, from left) Emma Alexander, Alex, Laura and Tom Hatty, Jesse and Helen Barker, and Jock Hatty.
Cystic fibrosis sufferer Coen Ashton has pushed past his illness and jet skied the Murray River for the second time.
The 16 year-old finished the 2000km journey in Mulwala on Sunday, March 2 and was in Tocumwal the day before greeting locals at the old boat ramp.
Tocumwal woman Helen Barker said it was a great opportunity for everyone involved.
From Maryborough in Queensland, the teen's journey came after a double lung transplant last year and coincided with DonateLife Week 2014 (23 February – 2 March).
Coen said he hopes his efforts encourage all Australians to have the chat that saves lives and ensure the organ and tissue donation decisions of loved ones are known.
''I was born with cystic fibrosis, which made it really hard to breathe. I was suffocating and couldn't laugh without painful coughing, and I could only dream of running, let alone jet skiing,'' he said.
''I had to wait for a long time for a new set of lungs. Now with my new lungs I've come back to jet ski the Murray to prove to everyone that being an organ donor and knowing the wishes of your loved ones is essential — it saved my life.
''If you have decided to become an organ and tissue donor, you need to register your decision on the Australian Organ Donor Register and most importantly, have the chat with your loved ones.
''In 2011, I helped get 1000 new names on the Organ Donor Register. This year I'd like to double that number.
''It's important that people understand that by becoming an organ and tissue donor they could one day transform the lives of 10 or more people.''
Coen's adventure saw him jet ski the entire navigable section of the Murray River from Goolwa on the South Australian coast to Yarrawonga in country Victoria, shadowed by his mother Dawn, father Mark and younger brother Kai in a support vessel.
''Coen's Murray journey mirrors the challenging path he and many other young Australians with cystic fibrosis face as they struggle to take part in simple activities most of us take for granted,'' Cystic Fibrosis Australia CEO David Jack said.
''Coen's story is an inspiration for everyone on the transplant waiting list, including those with cystic fibrosis and his message of hope and courage cannot be ignored.
''For many people like Coen, a lung transplant is their only hope. The good news is that breakthrough medication is being developed to turn off the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis.
''Medication that stops cystic fibrosis in its tracks is the key to avoiding lung transplants for many people with cystic fibrosis.''
Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic life-threatening disease affecting Australian children.
Affected from birth, people with the condition have difficulty breathing due to a build-up of mucus that clogs their lungs and digestive system.
Coen's Murray voyage begun on Saturday, February 22 and finished with a party in Yarrawonga at the Mulwala Water Ski Club on Sunday.
The project was sponsored by the Organ and Tissue Authority, who also lead DonateLife Week, the national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation in Australia.
