A signal quality estimate of a physiological waveform can be an important initial step for automated processing of real-world data. This paper presents a new generic point-by-point signal quality index (SQI) based on adaptive multichannel prediction that does not rely on ad hoc morphological feature extraction from the target waveform. An application of this new SQI to photoplethysmograms (PPG), arterial blood pressure (ABP) measurements, and ECG showed that the SQI is monotonically related to signal-to-noise ratio (simulated by adding white Gaussian noise) and to subjective human quality assessment of 1361 multichannel waveform epochs. A receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with the human "bad" quality label as positive and the "good" quality label as negative, yielded areas under the ROC curve of 0.86 (PPG), 0.82 (ABP), and 0.68 (ECG).

TAAG orders three more Boeing 777s
Written by defenceWeb, Tuesday, 03 April 2012
"As we prepare our airline to meet increased demand for travel to and from Angola, adding three more Boeing 777-300ERs to our current fleet of five 777s will keep us well positioned as one of Africa's leading airlines," said TAAG Chairman Antonio Luis Pimentel Araujo. "Our customers prefer the comfort of the Boeing airplanes, particularly the 777, and we are proud to add more of what our customers want to our fleet."
"Boeing and TAAG share a strong partnership dating back more than 37 years. We continue to build on that relationship to ensure we share the next 35 years together," said Van Rex Gallard, vice president of Sales for Africa, Latin America, and Caribbean, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "TAAG operates an all-Boeing fleet and adding three more 777s to its fleet will help TAAG continue to meet its growing demand with products designed for passenger comfort and airline profitability."
TAAG will continue to grow its route network by using the new airplanes for route expansion including direct routes to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil, Lisbon and Oporto, Portugal and other European destinations. TAAG currently operates three 777-200ERs and two 777-300ERs from Luanda, Angola to Lisbon ten times weekly, to Beijing once a week, to Dubai twice weekly, to Sao Paulo four times a week and to Rio de Janeiro three times weekly.
"The addition of these airplanes to TAAG's fleet will further position our national flag carrier to effectively compete with all the foreign carriers that want to serve the Angola market," said Augusto da Silva Tomas, Minister of Transports. "TAAG's fleet will thus be a critical component of Angola's transportation network and a major contributor to the Angolan economy as a critical foreign revenue earner to our growing economy."
The 777-300ER has a maximum range of 7,930 nautical miles (14,685 km). TAAG will configure its 777-300ERs to carry 293 passengers in a three class configuration, Boeing said.

DUBLIN, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/20/12 -- Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, today announced the availability of the Epicor ICE business architecture for the Epicor Prophet 21® wholesale distribution enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
Epicor ICE is a modern and visionary technology developed by Epicor that enables Prophet 21 users with enhanced levels of mobility, accessibility, and interactivity among business applications. Epicor ICE acts as a connector and an application builder, providing distributors with access to the latest applications and technical capabilities while still taking advantage of Prophet 21's industry-leading distribution functionality.
Building on SOA Innovation and Expertise
Epicor has long believed that enterprise software should evolve its functional and technological capabilities independently. Moreover, business-critical applications like ERP have to be robust platforms that enable users to easily and continuously adapt to constantly changing business scenarios. Epicor's approach to software development is designed to ensure customers stay competitive. The parallel focus on ERP functionality and Epicor ICE technology drives parallel benefits in business efficiency and agility. With the advent of Epicor ICE, businesses gained a highly sophisticated standards-based platform for low-cost integration and high-end performance that offers unprecedented user productivity and a rapid return on investment (ROI). Epicor ICE redefined business architecture by exploiting both the social and technical aspects of Web 2.0 technologies and fusing them with modern SOA to deliver a solution designed for people, built for business, yet ready for change.
"Epicor ICE brings some amazing capabilities to Prophet 21," said Erik Johnson, vice president, technical strategy for Epicor. "With Epicor ICE, distributors can work when, where, and how they want to work -- field sales representatives can manage opportunities from their smartphone, executives can analyze financial data using spreadsheets, and anyone can find data in Prophet 21 through a search engine -- all without ever having to sign in to the Prophet 21 application."
Epicor ICE brings together the necessary components to start leveraging the benefits of this new technology "out of the box," including:
- Enterprise Search - a search engine that brings the personal Internet experience to the workplace, providing remote employees with access to all Prophet 21 data from one simple search field
- Dashboards - an application that allows distributors to easily push out updateable dashboards of user-specific information from Prophet 21 to mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or any Web browser-enabled device
- Business Activity Queries - a tool that enables point-and-click access to the data tables in Prophet 21 for the purpose of mapping data to other applications with drag-and-drop simplicity.
"Distributors can now extend the benefits of Prophet 21 to the entire organization, even to those people who don't typically work directly with ERP systems today," said Kevin Roach, executive vice president and general manager, ERP Americas for Epicor. "When more employees are collaborating around your business data because they have easier access to it, you become a more informed, efficient, and innovative company. With Epicor ICE, data becomes much more relevant because information is in a view specific to the employees' needs. They can stop making decisions based on insufficient data, and your company can work smarter and faster."
Current Prophet 21 customers may contact their Epicor customer account manager to discuss specific hardware and software requirements for Epicor ICE. All others, please call 1.800.776.7438 to speak with an Epicor solutions specialist, or email [email protected].
News Facts
- Epicor ICE is now generally available for the Epicor Prophet 21 wholesale distribution enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for wholesale distributors
- Epicor Prophet 21 users can take advantage of Epicor ICE technology innovations such as mobile Dashboards, Enterprise Search, and Business Activity Queries

Alnmaritec announced the recent delivery of a new 50 passenger ferry to the Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors JV who are currently building the Forth Replacement Crossing over the Firth of Forth for the client, the Scottish Government.
The £790M new bridge will sit alongside the famous Forth Road and Rail bridges and will be 1.7 miles long, carrying two lanes of motorway traffic in each direction.
One of the highly successful Alnmaritec Wave Commander class, the newly delivered boat will be used to transport construction personnel from the jetty in Rosyth docks to the different working platforms during the course of the project, all year round. In addition to 50 passengers she carries a complement of two crew in comfort within the large one and a half height wheelhouse (providing excellent all round visibility from the helm position) which also houses a WC and storage areas.
The boat, named 'Linzi S' after the Marine Office secretary on the project is the first vessel in the U.K. to be built to the new Merchant Shipping Notice MSN1823(M) Passenger Craft Rules for Category D waters. She measures 16.3 x seven meters and is powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 litre engines driving fixed pitch propellers via ZF gearboxes, giving her a loaded speed of around 18 knots.

Science is an undeniable force for good in the world. It's easy to forget sometimes just how bad things were before science, and how bad they could get again if science falls by the wayside in the ebb and flow of civilizations. (And don't think for a minute that it can't happen. Assuming science will always be there is like assuming the housing market will never go down. The ancient Greeks knew the earth went around the sun; how long did it take for Kepler to rediscover that?)
If you have recently not died of a bacterial infection, and you want your children to enjoy the same freedom to not die of simple infections, you need to support robust, hands-on science education at every level, but particularly in middle and high school when students are forming ideas about what they want to do with their lives. This whole civilization thing only keeps going if every new generation grows up willing, able, and interested enough to do their part.
By robust, I mean science taught by scientists for students who want to be scientists when they grow up, or at least be people with a deep knowledge and appreciation of science.
By hands-on, I mean classes where students confront and engage the real stuff of science — chemicals, rockets, lasers, spectroscopes, and vats of goo — up close and personal.
Science is not primarily about facts, formulas, and figures. It's a physical skill, something you need to wrap your brain around with lots of practice. Teaching science exclusively with lectures and books is no more sensible than teaching music or gymnastics out of a book. You've got to get out and do it.
Students find typical science classes boring because they are boring. How could a class not be boring when it concentrates on all the trivial details instead of what matters? At the secondary school level, science should be taught in the lab or out in the field learning about how the world works.
There is a place, and ultimately an absolute requirement, for extended, deep study of mathematics, physics, and all the marvelous formulas that have been worked out over the centuries. They are what distinguish science from speculation, and mathematics is, of course, ultimately the only way to truly understand the workings of the universe. But that place comes after the student has gained an intuitive understanding of the phenomena they will be learning to describe mathematically.
Watch Richard Feynman explain nearly anything. He starts by describing an imaginary scene, perhaps a bug floating on the water, or a ball with hair on it. Once you know the answer because you can visualize what the bug would experience, or how the hair would lie on the ball, then and only then are you ready to start writing down the math, because only then will you be able to understand what it really means.
All of science is like that. It is absolutely pointless to talk about Newton's laws if you have not yet gotten a firm visceral grasp on what happens when you throw things, or swing them, or drop them, or shoot them up in a rocket. And once you are faced with a problem, like getting a rocket or cannonball to go where you want it to go, no one needs to convince you of the value of Newton's laws, or pressure you to learn them.
As discussed in yesterday's post, there is a great dearth of hands-on science in schools. What can be done about this? In the spirit of the Earth Island Institute's list of "50 Really Hard Things You Can Do to Save the Earth," here is my list.
First, there needs to be a radical rethinking of teacher education and certification. A professional teacher generically trained to teach by a school of education is not qualified to teach science. Laws and funding levels should be fixed to encourage people with real scientific qualifications to take up teaching, or at least to be available for enrichment programs. Perhaps when China sends the first man to Mars we'll get another Sputnik effect, but should it really be necessary for us to experience a shock to do the right thing?
Second, we need to overcome the liability issues that come with doing lab work in school. My suggestion? Make the best science classes optional and competitive, the same way being on the football team is. Set up a class with a really good teacher, and lay out the curriculum: First week we're going to study redox reactions, particularly the aluminothermic reductions of iron and titanium. Second week we'll learn how to make gunpowder, then try to understand its complex chemistry. Third week, how the heck are we going to get that brick to land on the far side of the football field using only seven sticks and a freshman?
Students would clamor to get in, and their parents would sign the release forms, just as they do for numerous other potentially hazardous childhood activities, from rock climbing to summer camp. Some would just be tourists, but those students would be weeded out by the rigorous study required to succeed in these hard-core classes.
Actually what I'm describing isn't pie in the sky, it exists in quite a few places in the form of, for example, robotics competition clubs, where students work for months together with professional scientists and engineers to build robots that battle each other out in a national competition.
But there's just nowhere near enough of this kind of thing going on, and nearly all of it is outside of school. There are six or more hours a day of time being wasted on half-baked education; let's not restrict the real stuff to after school programs available only to a few privileged kids. There need to be classes like this in every public school, especially in the poorer districts where students have few other opportunities. How many billions of dollars would this cost? I don't know, but it would be a drop in the bucket compared to just about any federal expenditure you might choose to compare it to.
It was great to hear the President just a few weeks ago articulate a commitment to fixing science education. Hopefully new money and new enthusiasm will be forthcoming. But it's going to take a lot more than a couple of speeches.
Everyone involved in the enterprise of science can do their part to help shape public opinion in favor of better science education. I do my part by writing for Popular Science magazine with a relentlessly pro-science attitude, and publishing the occasional volume of science porn, like my most recent book, The Elements (which I believe has given at least a few non-scientists a new appreciation
I recently heard a radio report on the FDA's proposal to require treatment of raw oysters to prevent the roughly 13 deaths that occur every year from bacterial contamination. A number of people were perfectly happy to go on the radio and argue, in so many words, that these 13 people dying every year was not enough of a reason to require pasteurization of oysters, because hey, they just don't taste as good if they've been irradiated or heat treated.
Can you imagine someone going on the radio and arguing that it's OK for a dozen or so students to die every year in order to ensure that we have robust science education?
Far be it from me to be that person, but seriously, how do we reconcile this disparity? Do people really think a marginal improvement in the taste of raw shellfish is more important than the future of human civilization?
For the record, the actual number of students killed by science classes each year is pretty darn close to zero. It has happened in the last couple of decades, but very, very rarely. Even before the age of hyper-protectiveness, the fatality rate in science classes was a tiny fraction of that in, say, football practice, where death and permanent disability are comparatively routine. Yet laboratory science classes have been all but eliminated from schools, with safety being an oft-cited reason.
There are a number of ways to help understand why people might think it's OK to die for oysters but not for science.
People are well known to look at and evaluate risks in ways that make little sense in the cold light of reason. For example, if oysters were born pre-pasteurized and someone invented a process that would make them taste a bit better, but it killed 13 people a year, very few people (other than the French) would stand up to say that was a good idea.
And people are significantly more risk-averse when it comes to their children than they are about themselves. I know people who never wear seatbelts, but their babies ride in elaborate safety seats, properly strapped in.
Furthermore, people generally feel it's fine for adults to do risky things if they choose to. A dozen or two people die skiing every winter in Colorado, but that's not really considered a problem by anyone involved. There are special laws to protect the ski resorts from liability, and fatalities, while tragic, are generally rationalized as occurring when people aren't being careful, so it's their own fault.
So, clearly there is a significant difference between an adult choosing to eat a ticking oyster bomb, and a school assigning a child to do a required activity at school.
But all this is really not a good enough explanation. People take their children skiing all the time, knowing full well the risks. School football programs may be voluntary, but P.E. classes are generally required, and while they may not rise to the level of football in degree of roughness, they are certainly significantly more dangerous than social studies, or science.
I think the real key to the puzzle is fear of the unknown, combined with a general apathy about the value of science.
When you understand a danger, you automatically feel more comfortable taking it on. Crashing into a tree at high speed is not difficult to understand, and therefore skiers accept the concept of trees dotting the slopes and work to avoid them. Avalanches, on the other hand, are mysterious to most people, so skiers fear them more than trees, even though far more are killed by trees than by avalanches.
Sadly, science is largely an unknown to a large portion of the population. Chemicals are things to be feared and despised. Say "acid" and people think bubbling vats of death, even if they just drank a healthy dose of citric acid for breakfast. It's really, really difficult to explain to someone why their child should spend a month playing with acids when that person's main conception of acids is formed by watching the way James Bond dispatches villains.
And when ignorance is combined with apathy, the conclusion seems all too obvious. Why take any risk at all, no matter how tiny, if you don't see the value of what you get for it? Skiing is fun. Football builds character and teamwork. Science gives you...what, exactly?
In tomorrow's post I will tell you why I think it's so important that science education be robust, including serious lab classes at the middle and high school level, and yes, I will defend those classes being no less dangerous than getting out of bed in the morning.

Joseph Banks, founder of the Royal Society, and Humphry Davy, prominent among the first professional chemists, were good friends with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and Mary Shelley. While Banks and Davy were creating the idea of science as a professional occupation, these poets and authors were busy incorporating the latest scientific discoveries into their works. Shelley's Frankenstein was the first science fiction novel, simply because Shelley was the first author who had a scientist to consult with.
Both sides of this collaboration saw the other as vital to their efforts. The poets needed scientists to enlighten them with new truths (new ideas having been in desperately short supply since the Greeks said pretty much everything there is to say about the world and human nature without the aid of science). The scientists, in turn, needed poets to make connections between their work and broader humanity, to warn them against an overly mechanical interpretation of the world, and to spread the word about new discoveries to a wider audience.
Although both sniped at each other from time to time, neither side saw a fundamental conflict or split between science and the arts: Each respected the other for its contributions. How impoverished in comparison is the current situation, with scientists viewing artists as lightweights, and artists having such distain of science that the notion of a science fiction novel winning a literary award is as far-fetched as some of that genre's plot lines.
Some artists are, in fact, lightweights, poseurs, and hangers-on (but then, so are a number of scientists). But many artists are making valuable contributions, not only aesthetically, but also scientifically. Visualizations are an example: An eye for color, and willingness to put effort into presentation, have led many a scientist to a better understanding of their own work.
Conversely, not all science is ugly tables of numbers and dead rats. From the astonishing worlds within worlds of the Mandelbrot set, to the sublime insights into human nature offered by the Freakonomics style of on-the-street economics research, science continues to offer art and literature an endless series of surprising, marvelous, horizon-expanding ideas to work with.
Although science and art have been at odds for centuries, since beginning their divergence even during the Romantic era of Davy and Coleridge, there has always been some dialog between the two. With the widespread deployment of computer technology they are working together more closely today than in quite some time.
An artist wishing to make an animated movie in which things move naturally has no choice but to use a "physics engine," modeling software that simulates the motions of real objects. A scientist wishing to publicize her latest work on a NOVA show has no choice but to enlist the aid of a visual artist to help create dynamic animations and visualizations that interpret her results.
Perhaps nowhere are art and science more closely mingled than in the world of photography. All photographers have to come to an understanding of the physics of light. My favorite book on photographic lighting reads almost like an optics textbook (Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting).
And nearly all scientists sooner or later end up documenting their work with some form of photography, and thus sooner or later come to the realization that there is an art to taking a good photograph, one that communicates your idea and maybe gets you on the cover of Nature.
My book Mad Science, and the Popular Science magazine column on which it is based, are very much collaborations between art and science. I contribute the science, but my column and book would not be what they are without the contribution every month of the top notch commercial photographers I work with. They bring the subject to life and help communicate it to the public, just as Coleridge brought the chemical ideas of Davy to life ("... so water and flame, the diamond, the charcoal, and the mantling champagne, with its ebullient sparkles, are convoked and fraternized by the theory of the chemist") and Shelley brought Faraday's electricity literally to life with her monster. (How's that for pretentiously associating my poor efforts with the giants of history?)
My most recent book, The Elements, owes a lot to what my co-photographer Nick Mann and I have learned from our interactions with these professional artists. It's basically a collection of fairly humdrum objects, a nodule of cobalt or blob of low-purity silicon, which have been given the same treatment that an advertising photographer gives his subject. The assignment is this: Here's a thing, make it look good! We have applied this ethos to the hundreds and hundreds of objects that appear in the book. Each one is treated like a star, with our goal being to use all the science and art of photography to make it look as attractive and interesting as possible.
In tomorrow's post, I will talk about the importance of recapturing some of the fun of how chemistry was done back in Davy's day: Raw and dangerous.

For example, it never ceases to amaze me that, of the topics I write about, the one that consistently generates the most reader mail is homeopathy. Very little of it is on my side.
For those not familiar with homeopathy, it is a system based on the idea that if you take a substance that causes a certain problem and dilute it to a preposterous degree, the resulting solution will cure that same problem. For example, if tree pollen causes you to sneeze, a homeopath will take some tree pollen and dilute it so many times that not a single atom of the pollen is left, just plain water. They will then sell you sell this plain water, which contains not a single atom of tree pollen, nor anything else but plain water, as a cure for your sneezing. The great thing is that, thanks to an obscure exception written into consumer protection laws, they get to list the original substance on the label, even though the bottle contains none of it; this really helps with the profit margin. (You might think I'm kidding, but this is seriously the way homeopathy works, and no one denies it. The only thing a professional homeopath would correct about my description is to say that sometimes they dilute with alcohol instead of water, and that you have to do the dilution the right way: Dilute 10-to-1, then knock the bottle on the table, then dilute 10-to-1 again, knock on the table, and repeat, typically between 30 and 50 times, for an overall dilution of 10 to the 30th or 50th power.)
So what I write about homeopathy is, of course, that it's preposterous, nonsensical, and an outright consumer fraud. And this, I am always amazed to see, is controversial. This very blog post will no doubt result in emails telling me I should be more open-minded.
The most serious consequences of belief in homeopathy are largely constrained to the hardcore participants in the delusion, those who use it on serious conditions for which effective treatments exist. These people often suffer needlessly from easily cured problems.
The tragic exceptions are helpless children and pets (yes, pets!) killed, maimed, or tortured to death by their parents' pathological reliance on magical thinking. And homeopathy is just one example of the pervasive and deadly irrationality we've come to accept.
But enumerating the world's many follies is not the job of this humble blog post. My purpose in trashing homeopathy is only to provide a brief demonstration of something that I think is very important. To wit, that people who believe in truth and reason must speak out, and they must be clear and direct. No waffling, no willingness to treat what you know is complete bunk as if it were a respectable alternative viewpoint. In short, no shying away from speaking truth to ignorance.
There is an excellent biography of Al Shanker, the great and controversial teacher-activist, entitled Tough Liberal. It's a marvelous title, because in two words it defines both the man and the malaise of wimpiness that so often afflicts intellectuals and liberals. Shanker is held up as an example of that rarest of birds, a political liberal who could roll with the toughest New York politicians or union thugs and make them look like pansies.
What we need now is a whole generation of Shanker-grade tough guys on the side of science, reason, and all the other things normally advocated by wimps like me.
I don't know why science, the most powerful force on the planet, the discipline that has given us everything from penicillin to the atom bomb to the television that makes every celebrity who they are, has such a hard time defending itself against loudmouthed blowhards who couldn't explain how the microphones they blather into work if their lives depended on it.
But there you have it. With a few shining exceptions, science tends to be advocated by people filled with self-doubt, equivocation, and the common decency to let their opponents speak their piece. These would normally be good things, and maybe some day we can return to talking about truth calmly, but for right now, calm, so far as I can tell, doesn't work. It certainly doesn't work in the popular media where electoral decisions are made.
I've written two books about science for a popular audience (and for the past six years a column for the aptly named Popular Science magazine). Their tone is far less strident than this exaggerated and perhaps over-the-top blog post, but I have made a point of trying not to back off on things like, for example, homeopathy. It's taken time to overcome my natural tendency to be a ninny, but every time the world doesn't end when I get a critical email from someone who is wrong, I grow a little.
Consider this a call to action for all those who stand for truth, justice, and the right of reasonable people to live free from stupid. Don't be cruel to people who don't deserve it, and make absolutely sure you have your facts straight. But don't back down. Tell the truth even if you know some people, even a lot of people, will try to knock you down for it.
You don't have to read much history to realize that things can get very bad very fast when the good citizens choose to remain silent in the face of a belligerent, thuggish minority. So speak up, because lives depend on it, including yours.
In tomorrow's post, I will revert to my normal civil tone and talk about how art and science can work together to create something larger than either alone.
It's only because homeopathy is a fraud that a remedy like this can be sold legally. Possession of any quantity of plutonium is illegal, but that's not a problem for homeopathic plutonium, because "homeopathic" means "there's none of it in
What started out as a bazaar for Beanie Baby collectors, eBay has now become the universal marketplace through which a large portion of the world's surplus and odd-lot industrial, medical, scientific, and just plain weird stuff gets sold.
My book The Elements contains something like five or six hundred photographs of objects representing the chemical elements and their applications, and there are over 2,300 on my website, periodictable.com. At least 90% of these objects came from eBay. It simply would not have been practical to create The Elements without it (as evidenced by the fact that no book like it has been done before).
It's not just odd samples of elements you can find on eBay. You can buy complete working scientific instruments, lab equipment, and not a small number of chemicals, supplies, reagents, and exotic tools. This gives anyone, anywhere who has a shipping address and a PayPal account the same access to the tools of discovery as someone living in New York, London, or Tokyo ever had, now or in the past.
And this matters. Great civilizations are built on the backs of tinkerers and dabblers who grow into scientists and entrepreneurs. Half a century ago, a child living in a major city could buy just about anything he needed to experiment in chemistry or demolitions. Such interest and experimentation might easily lead to a career in science. But such opportunities gradually became few and far between, as safety concerns, a general shift away from manufacturing, and finally terrorism paranoia clamped down on the availability of non-consumer items. I watched with mounting dismay as the Army-Navy surplus store in my town drifted steadily away from selling motors, relays, timing mechanisms and other genuine items of military surplus. Sometime in the 1980s the last hard-core mechanical components were replaced with camping gear, and today there's just one counter left that sells military campaign buttons, the rest of the store is filled with designer sporting goods and expensive shoes.
A kid growing up in the 1990s had a very hard time finding the stuff you need to be a kid. How can you make gunpowder if no one will sell you saltpeter? (And you don't know the trick that stump remover is pure potassium nitrate.) How can you build a death ray if all the high-voltage transformers at the corner surplus shop have turned into hiking boots?
But now we have eBay! A kid with an eBay account (and their parent's PayPal password) has at their disposal the richest collection of serious tools for play and discovery that has ever been available to anyone at any time in history. eBay is the Google of stuff. And while it's not free like Google, it's often possible to get fabulous deals on very nice items.
You may read about fraud on eBay, but that's almost entirely restricted to people selling plasma TVs for $18.99. In all the thousands of eBay transactions I've made, I have only once run into a fraudulent seller of weird stuff, and I'm completely reckless in my level of trust. (The fraud was a Minuteman missile thruster that turned out to be stolen rather than surplus as the seller had represented. I had to give it back to the FBI when they came calling.) More common is my experience when I bought an emerald from some guy in South America and the envelope arrived empty. He immediately refunded my money and asked only that I file a report with the post office (the envelope had been cut open and resealed with some kind of postal inspection tape, proving that eBay sellers in Bolivia are more honest than their post office).
I suppose this sounds like a commercial for eBay, but I really feel strongly about it. Especially for young people who want to explore the world of scientific discovery, it's just that good.
In tomorrow's blog post I will flip out on one of my pet peeves: The nonsense that people believe in if they didn't get enough science when they were growing up.

The uneven concrete that journalist Phillip Cottrell was found on in central Wellington after he was assaulted would have been unlikely to have caused his fatal head injury, a neurosurgeon says.
In the High Court at Wellington today Martin Hunn said from photographs of the scene he did not see anything on the edge of the concrete in Boulcott St that could have caused the curved break in the skin over Cottrell's shattered skull.
Cottrell, 43, had a condition that caused brittle bones, but Hunn said the piece of skull that was cut out of Cottrell during surgery seemed the same as for a normal healthy adult.
Cottrell died after being assaulted walking home from a night shift at Radio New Zealand almost a year ago.
Hunn said emergency surgery was done to try to rescue the situation even though there were already signs that Cottrell had only an extremely small chance of survival.
Hunn was giving evidence at the trial of Nicho Allan Waipuka, 20, and Manuel Renera Robinson, 18, who have pleaded not guilty to murdering Cottrell.
Hunn said on the front and left of Cottrell's head there were multiple small fractures and several fractures radiating outwards.
Although a small improvement was seen at first, Cottrell's brain started to swell alarmingly and there was "torrential" bleeding.
He died the following day.
Hunn said Cottrell's injuries reminded him of two cases where the cause of the injury had been known.
One was caused by a vase and the other a hammer, both driven with great force.
In court he was shown two pairs of shoes and asked if a shoe could be consistent with causing that type of injury.
Hunn said the curved edges of the toe and heel of one pair with a relatively hard sole could have caused it if used with sufficient force.
The other pair of shoes had a softer sole and he was less certain about the toe of those shoes, but the heel could have caused the injury, he said.
Hunn said the pattern of fractures to Cottrell's skull was more extensive than he usually saw, so his underlying brittle bones condition played a part in the extent to which the skull fractured.
Even so, significant force would have caused the degree of fracturing, Hunn said.
Cottrell's bone condition may have predisposed his brain to bleed more.
The trial continues on Monday, the first anniversary of the assault on Cottrell.

Impact Of Country Personality On Attitude Toward Foreign Products : Self-Congruity As A Mediator, 2016 Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli University
Impact Of Country Personality On Attitude Toward Foreign Products : Self-Congruity As A Mediator, Murat Aktan, Paul W. Chao
Atlantic Marketing Journal
This research examines the direct effect of country personality (CP) on consumer product attitude and indirect effect through consumer self-congruity between CP and his/her own self-concept on product attitude in an emerging country- Turkey. We propose an integrated structural equation model to examine the relationships. Measurement scales for CP, self-congruity and attitude are developed whose validities and reliabilities are confirmed by exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analyses with data collected from a sample of consumers in Turkey on two countries: USA and China.
The results reveal that four out of the original six dimensions of CP remain after ...

Atlantic Marketing Journal
This study investigated the influence of a consumer's online shopping motivation, attitude, and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) intention towards two social media messages while accounting for social media involvement. Using a fictitious brand and social media messages, data were collected through a snowballing technique by distributing a structured questionnaire on social media sites. It was found that a positive attitude toward task messages was influenced by both utilitarian and hedonic shopping motivations while attitude toward socioemotional messages were influenced solely by hedonic. Also, eWOM intention for both messages was influenced by attitude. Social media involvement had no moderating ...

Crowd Sourced Product Reviews: A Study Of Evaluation Standards Used, 2016 Western Michigan University
Crowd Sourced Product Reviews: A Study Of Evaluation Standards Used, Alexander W. Manga
People are using online product reviews and evaluations more and more (Chandler et al., 2013). As the usage of online reviews persists and more smart phone applications are created, the demand for online product review continues to increase; yet, there is no indication of the quality of these reviews. In fact, some online reviews have been found to be fraudulent and misleading. Many online product reviews come from Internet-based crowdsource organizations. Few studies have explored evaluation practices among these organizations, and as a result, it is unclear what, if any, evaluation standards are used by crowdsource reviewers, particularly those found ...

'Game of Thrones' Stars Talk About the Bloodbath and Power Transfer in Season Finale
- 04:23 PM, Jun 27
Jorge is a tranquil, middle-class family man whose neighborhood has become overrun by a fringe class of street thugs. His comparatively fortunate existence makes him the target of their intimidation one night, and a hulking outlaw robs him of his insulin needle. Jorge's teenage son boldly tries to stand up for his father, which only serves to unleash the bully's terrorizing reign of threats upon the family. Jorge and his wife, Martha, seek protection from the legal system but are subjected to civic drones and bureaucratic procedure, so they remain vulnerable. As Jorge's family suffers from fear and humiliating anguish, the situation paints him as a deficient patriarch-until he's cornered into defending what's his.

Bag issue more than money, jobs
I was disappointed to hear about the Los Angeles decision [to ban plastic and paper bags], but just as disappointed to hear our responses, as they mainly dealt with money and jobs. The public doesn't want to hear these arguments, and they just add fuel to the image of big corporations saying what they have to say to maximize their profits, executive bonuses, etc. That's why the Los Angeles City Council's May 23 vote was 13-1.
