The Commission wants to improve how the single market for financial products and services works for consumers, small investors and businesses. This Eurobarometer looks mainly at whether financial services users switch provider and purchase in other Member States, and at what prevents them from doing so. Some of the questions were already asked in the Eurobarometer 373 conducted in 2011.
The Eurobarometer survey (EBS 443) on the public perception of illicit tobacco trade was the first of its kind. The results show that EU citizens are concerned about the need to protect the revenues of Member States and the EU from the smuggling of cigarettes. It also reveals EU citizens' clear view that the price is what attracts them to buy black market cigarettes yet the survey also suggests that knowledge about the link between organised crime and the illicit trade of tobacco is low. Finally, it reveals that the penetration of black market cigarettes is somewhat uneven in the EU with generally a higher penetration in Eastern Europe.
With more than 14.000 interviews, covering from micro-enterprises to large multinationals, the Innobarometer 2016 is one of the broadest surveys carried out in Europe to hear the voice of EU business. The survey was designed in particular to collect information about the innovation activities of companies, as well as about the progress towards industrial modernization. The results are a strong call for action on the modernisation of the EU industrial base. In fact, Innovation activities in EU businesses show signs of decline and at the same time the use of advanced manufacturing technologies in the EU industry is not making progress. On a more positive key, almost three in four companies plan to invest in innovation in the coming year. As a supporting measure, skills development is considered crucial by EU innovative companies.
This Eurobarometer survey was conducted before the entry into force of the new requirements to provide information about beneficiaries state aid awards. Europeans were asked about their awareness of state aid and the perceived ease of finding relevant information, as well as about their attitudes towards transparency of state aid. 27 818 EU citizens were interviewed in June 2016. While the results show different levels of awareness across Member States, in all EU countries, citizens feel not well-informed about state aid and consider it difficult to find information about the beneficiaries of aid. More than eight in ten consider that EU citizens should have full access to information about state aid given by public authorities to companies. Large majorities of Europeans see transparency as a means to make policy-makers accountable to citizens; as a good way to improve the management of public money, and as relevant for companies as for citizens. Europeans consider that the most effective way to improve transparency is to make the information published automatically when state aid is given.
As part of the EU strategy to fight antimicrobial resistance, this survey was carried out in April 2016 and tracks progress on public use of and knowledge about antibiotics in the 28 Member States. Topics covered include: reported consumption in the last year, public knowledge about antibiotics, impact of information received from healthcare providers and media, perceptions of the most appropriate policy response to antibiotic resistance and attitudes towards the use of antibiotics in agriculture and the environment. Previous surveys on the same topic were published in 2010 and 2013.
A 2016 Eurobarometer survey showed that a majority of respondents had either used or were aware of collaborative platforms. Almost one third of respondents who have used the services of collaborative platforms also provided a service on this kind of platform at least once. This signals that users are also likely to act as service providers. Users appreciated in particular that collaborative economy services are easily accessible and cheaper than traditional services and that products or services can be exchanged, rather than paid for. Three main drawbacks identified by respondents were lack of awareness of who is responsible in case a problem arises, lack of trust in Internet transactions generally and lack of trust in the provider/seller.
This Eurobarometer is published during the #EUGreen Week of 2016, Europe's biggest annual occasion to discuss environment policy. The survey shows that 73% of European SMEs have invested in the transition to a more circular model for their businesses over the past three years. More than a quarter (27%) said they had encountered difficulties in accessing financing in this area. Commissioner Vella said: "It is becoming more and more clear that a sound investment strategy means combining economic opportunity with sustainable environmental practice. Green Week sends a powerful signal to European companies, investors and the financial sector that a change of culture is both possible and profitable."
The Commission has released the results of a Eurobarometer survey to better understand the attitude of EU households and citizens towards new Internet-based communications services as compared to legacy telecom services, and to measure the related expectations and needs for consumer protection. The survey also measures the means of reception of TV broadcast services, the uptake of service packages and the awareness of 112, the Single European emergency call number. The fieldwork was conducted between 17 and 26 October 2015. It covers the 28 EU Member States, with a total of 27,822 respondents interviewed. It follows on from the previous Eurobarometer survey which was conducted in January 2014.
For this survey carried out in April 2016, some 7 000 respondents in the seven EU Member States that have yet to join the euro (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Sweden) were interviewed by phone. Citizens from different social and demographic groups replied to a set of questions focusing on issues ranging from their perception of and support for the introduction of the euro in their country, to how well citizens felt informed about the common currency. Questions included how citizens saw the consequences for themselves, their country, and for those countries which already have adopted the euro. Other questions looked at how and where citizens wished to be informed and what type of information they considered most important. While 52% of respondents think that the introduction of the euro has had positive consequences in the countries that are already using the euro, the proportion of respondents who are in favour of introducing the euro in their country varies widely, from 64% in Romania to 29% in the Czech Republic.
The survey was designed to explore the perceptions of judicial independence among companies across the EU Member States, particularly: - how companies rate the justice system in their country in terms of the independence of courts and judges; - the reasons why they rate the independence of the justice system the way they do. A total of 6,803 companies were interviewed via telephone (among businesses employing one or more persons) between 25 February and 4 March 2016, in the 28 Member States of the European Union.
The survey was designed to explore the perceptions of judicial independence among the general public across the EU Member States, particularly: - how the general public rate the justice system in their country in terms of the independence of courts and judges; - the reasons why they rate the independence of the justice system the way they do. Some 26,555 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed via telephone, between 24 and 25 February 2016, in the 28 Member States of the European Union.
This Flash Eurobarometer survey on Electoral Rights was conducted in November 2015 amongst 26,557 citizens throughout EU-28 Member States. Europeans were asked to offer their views on a range of questions associated with electoral issues and electoral rights within the EU, including on how to improve voter participation. Europeans believe that a number of practices, such as receiving individual letters and automatic registration on the electoral rolls, would make it easier for Europeans who live in another EU country to vote in European and local elections and thus to fully participate in the political life of the EU. It also shows that Europeans want to be better informed concerning the EU and the European Parliament elections.
The Flash Eurobarometer survey on EU Citizenship rights was conducted in October 2015 amongst 26,555 citizens in EU-28 Member States. It investigates how familiar Europeans are with their status as EU citizens and their understanding of the rights conferred by EU citizenship. The results show that Europeans are more familiar than ever with their status as Union citizens. Their understanding of some of the key rights conferred by EU citizenship is improving. However, there is more work to be done to increase citizens' awareness about their rights and of what they can do if these rights are not respected. It also shows the vast majority of Europeans have a positive view of free movement.
The study aims at (1) understanding the relationship between Europeans and animal welfare, (2) assessing European awareness and perceived importance of EU activities in this field; (3) Determining European views on availability and recognition of animal welfare friendly products. The study shows that citizens attach a great importance to animal welfare. They want to receive more information on the conditions in which farm animals are treated. EU citizens believe that it is important to establish international welfare standards and the EU should promote greater awareness of animal welfare at global level. They also declare to be ready to pay more for animal welfare friendly products but think that their availability is still limited.
The survey looks at the travel patterns of European citizens in the 28 Member States of the European Union, and in Turkey, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro and Moldova. It was designed to explore a range of aspects regarding holidays in 2015 and 2016, in particular: respondents' reasons for going on holiday in 2015; information sources and tools used to book holidays; respondents' travel profiles, preferred destinations and holiday types; satisfaction with various aspects of holidays in 2015; plans for holidays in 2016, including the potential impact of the current economic situation on these plans. Where possible, results are compared with the previous waves of the survey and a longitudinal analysis has been carried out for questions which have been asked several times since the initial 2009 edition.
Following the successful European Year for Development 2015, the European Commission is publishing a new survey on the perception of EU citizens on the Europe's role in the world. The analysis also includes topics such as the importance of personal commitment to development aid, and looks at what EU citizens see as the biggest challenges for developing countries. The survey offers a view on how citizens perceive development and cooperation in every EU country, as well as across the EU as a whole. Commissioner Neven Mimica will announce the results on the 29th of February. A media package, including country factsheets in the 23 EU languages, and one focused on young people, will be available. Special Eurobarometer 441 survey was carried out between 28 November and 7 December 2015 in the 28 European Union Member States.
The European Commission published today a Flash Eurobarometer on "Possible obstacles to using the euro in international trade" as perceived by companies in France, Germany, Italy and the UK in the aircraft and shipbuilding, energy, financial services, and electrical and mechanical engineering industries. The survey confirms that the euro is widely used by European firms in their invoicing practices with nearly eight out of ten companies invoicing more than 75% of their export in euros. Two thirds of the surveyed firms in France, Germany and Italy said they did not use any other currency for export invoicing than the euro. If companies did use other currencies, this was mostly due to client preference and the important role of the US dollar in global finance. Also, firm's trade invoicing practices appear not to be markedly affected by the European sovereign debt crisis, with around four fifths of the companies saying the crisis had no effect on their use of the euro in trade invoicing.
"The survey exclusively focuses on quality of life, showing how satisfied people are with various aspects of urban life, such as employment opportunities, presence of foreigners, public transports and pollution in their cities. It is designed to allow cities to compare themselves on 30 criteria addressing social, economic, cultural and environmental issues. It should inspire stakeholders and decision-makers to follow a holistic approach to sustainable urban development."
There is broad support among Europeans for the contribution of the CAP to the European Commission's top priorities, according to a new Eurobarometer survey, with nearly half of the respondents considering the role of the CAP "very important" for stimulating jobs and growth and for supporting the role of the farmer in the food chain. Other responses highlight the importance for the future that the general public puts on agriculture and rural areas (>90%) and confirm the trend from previous surveys which shows increasing concern for agriculture and rural areas as well as improved awareness of the CAP.
Standard Eurobarometer 84 survey (EB84), was carried out between 7 and 17 november 2015 in 34 countries or territories: the 28 European Union (EU) Member States, five candidate countries (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania) and the Turkish Cypriot Community in the part of the country that is not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus. The survey includes topics such as the European political situation and the economy (perception of the current situation and expectations for the future). It analyses how Europeans perceive their political institutions, both national governments and parliaments, the EU and its institutions as well as their main concerns. It also examines people's attitudes on European citizenship and on issues linked to the priorities of the European Commission, notably investment, trade and migration.
The survey looks at businesses' experiences and perceptions of corruption in the EU. Themes covered include: the main problems companies encounter when doing business; the prevalence of a range of corrupt practices; the management of public tender and public procurement procedures; the prevalence of illegal practices and corruption in public tender and public procurement procedures; experiences of bribery in encounters with a range of public services; and opinions about how corruption is managed and punished. Results are aggregated at EU level and broken down by Member State, and are also separated by business sector.
This survey follows up on past Eurobarometers (FL342 in 2012 and FL381 in 2013) in reviewing the current levels of resource efficiency actions and the state of the green market amongst Europe's SMEs, as well as in neighbouring countries and in the US. Topics covered include: • current and planned resource efficiency actions, and the reasons for taking them • Barriers when implementing resource efficiency actions • Experiences bidding for public procurement tenders with environmental requirements • The role and impact of policy in supporting green business initiatives • The current state of the green market
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the modern age. As Europe takes action to meet its objectives, it is important to understand the attitudes and behaviour of EU citizens towards climate change and their expectations for the future. This Eurobarometer survey measures these and compares them with the last poll on this issue carried out in 2013.
For this survey carried out on 12- 14 October 2015, some 17 500 respondents across the 18 euro area countries were interviewed by phone. The results show the highest overall support for the euro since the start of the annual surveys in 2002. A euro area majority of 61% sees the euro as good for their own country, an increase by 4 percentage points compared with 2014. The highest increase in support compared with the 2014 results was noted in Portugal with a raise of 11 percentage points to 61%, followed by Austria, Cyprus and Spain each with a raise of eight points.On the other hand, strongest decrease was noted in the Netherlands by seven points to now 57%.Support in Lithuania for its new currency since adopting the euro in January 2015 was noted at 55%. A clear euro area majority of 71% sees the euro as good for the EU as a whole.There are nevertheless some important differences between the 19 countries. Asked about the need for reforms to improve the economy, an overall majority of 78% is in favour of reforms in general. However, support varies considerably depending on the specific sector, ranging from 93% in favour of labour market reforms to 65% in favour of market reforms fostering competition and privatisation. Citizens replied to a set of questions focusing on issues ranging from perception and practical aspects of the euro to their assessment of the economic situation, policy and reforms in their country and in the euro area. In addition, citizens were asked about their views and expectations regarding household income and inflation.
To help support SMEs, the EU launched the programme for the Competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME) in 2014. This survey, launched in the context of this programme, was carried out in the 28 EU countries and in the non-EU countries participating in the COSME programme, to investigate about the experience of these countries' SMEs with international business activities, as well as their experiences and perceptions of importing and exporting. The survey covers: • The experience of SMEs with international business, • Export markets, and the proportion of sales generated by exports, • SMEs' experiences with exporting, including real and perceived barriers, • Import markets, • SMEs' experiences with importing, including real and perceived barriers, • Measures that would help SMEs internationalise, • SMEs' awareness of the Enterprise Europe Network, • Use of e-commerce
This survey offers a very detailed view of the European public opinion at regional level (209 regions of levels "NUTS I" or "NUTS II"). It was designed to explore views of Europeans at regional level on the following topics: • The current quality of life and economic situation • The expectations regarding quality of life and the economy • Main concerns facing regions • Perception of the European Union, trust in the EU and representatives best placed to explain the EU Approximately 300 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed via telephone (landline and mobile phone) in their mother tongue at each of the 209 regions. Overall Some 62,511 respondents were interviewed in the 28 Member States.
The Flash Eurobarometer 425 carried out in September 2015 seeks to understand citizens' perceptions, attitudes and practices related to food waste, and more specifically, to investigate the role of date marking (ie "best before" and "use by" dates) found on food labelling in relation to household food waste. The survey investigates citizens' understanding and use of date marking found on food labelling, and to what extent this information impacts on their consumption habits. While most respondents recognise their own important role in food waste prevention, a large proportion of Europeans lack understanding of date marking, which contributes to the waste of safe, edible food. The findings, which will help inform possible future policy making regarding the provision of food information to consumers, also confirm the need to pursue targeted information and educational initiatives on date marking taking into account the varying understanding and information needs of different consumer groups in the EU Member States.
Biodiversity – the unique web of life on Earth – is vital for our survival and quality of life. It provides countless services for free, making the oxygen we breathe, cleaning our water, and supplying us with food, materials and medicines. But biodiversity and ecosystem services are not just under threat – they are being lost and degraded at rates unprecedented in human history. This Eurobarometer survey collects information on how informed Europeans feel about biodiversity in general, their views on the seriousness of the threat, the role of the Natura 2000 network, personal efforts they are making to stop biodiversity loss, and how they expect Europe to react.
As the last Eurobarometer on this topic in 2012, the survey looks into attitudes and perceptions of Europeans towards discrimination based on different grounds (gender, ethnic origin, religion or beliefs, age, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity) and citizens' opinions on different policy measures to combat discrimination. For the first time the survey explores the social acceptance of specific groups belonging to ethnic and religious minorities. Also for the first the survey is looking into social acceptance and citizens' views on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.
EU cohesion policy, and in particular the Interreg strand, plays an important role in removing border obstacles and fostering cross-border cooperation. Relatively small in budget, the Interreg projects have achieved many concrete outcomes for the citizens – whether in the area of cross-border security, transport, education, energy, health care, training or job creation. However, a significant economic potential remains untapped in the border areas due to a lack of mutual trust or even the existence of negative attitudes among neighbouring countries. DG REGIO therefore conducted a first-ever Eurobarometer survey to identify and map attitudes of citizens living in the border areas, which will help to arrive at more targeted EU interventions.
This survey is part of a longitudinal series which examines Europeans' awareness of and their attitudes towards EU Regional Policy. It begins by asking respondents whether they have heard about any EU co-financed projects and, if so, whether they believe those projects have had a positive or negative impact. Respondents are then asked about their familiarity with the two of the EU's key regional funds, and whether they have benefitted personally from an EU-funded project. The survey then looks at priorities for the EU Regional Policy from the citizen perspective and about who citizens' consider best placed to take decisions about regional investments, before finally looking at European Territorial cooperation programmes and three EU macro-regional strategies, in the Baltic Sea, the Danube river and the EU Adriatic and Ionian regions.

Baseball was a very successful title in Japan and North America, two regions where the sport is highly popular. At the time, it was considered one of the best sports simulations available because of its accessibility and cute graphics. It remains a good introduction to the rules of this enjoyable sport.
The game allows you to pick between six teams. In Japan, they represented the full roster of the Central League, which hosts some of the most popular teams in the country. In the international version, those teams were replaced by the six most popular teams of the North-American league at the time of the game's release.
Baseball has no review on Wii's World.

This is one of the most difficult multiplayer games I've played. Getting your direction pad right when trying to intercept the batter is really hard to get used to. This is a classic game with cheesy sounds and brutal outfielders. If you hit it against the walls, it takes forever for the computer AI to get the ball. Instant double! Lots of fun!

text: The measurement of severity and control of asthma in both children and adults can be based on subjective or objective measures. It has been advocated that fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) can be used to monitor airway inflammation as it correlates with some markers of asthma. Interventions for asthma therapies have been traditionally based on symptoms and/or spirometry.

When we eat a less healthy food, a food with low health value but more risk, we are not only eating that food but also, slowly and slowly, we are being eaten by the food. You may wonder about 'how can a food eats a human being.' Yes, it is true and not a secret. Unhealthy food gradually eats the health of a human being. It eat us at the rate proportional to the rate at which we eat it.
The definition of healthy and unhealthy foods is arbitrary. What's healthy for Jack may not be healthy for Liza. What's healthy today may not be healthy next year -as you age and new science emerges. What's healthy for breakfast may not be healthy if repeated for lunch. What's healthy when eaten alone may not be healthy if eaten with other food items. What's healthy in some amount may not be healthy in other amounts. But….should be believe this science and live a stressful life or just ignore it and enjoy every food?
Research is not conclusive. But one issue is very clear. Every food is healthy if eaten in moderation! Don't ask me about how much food is considered as a moderate level. The human nature knows what is moderate and what's not. In the absence of other options, moderate would mean a different issue. Those with plenty can choose, but those with limited don't have a choice.

Anti-Fart Med Mix-up Might Put Many at Risk
Farting isn't fatal -- but a recent mix-up at a factory that makes a popular antiflatulent med -- as well as common analgesics -- could be deadly.
Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceutical giant that has given the world Gas-X, NoDoz, Excedrin, and Bufferin, recalled Sunday "select bottle sizes of Excedrin and NoDoz with expiration dates of Dec. 20, 2014, or earlier and some bottle sizes of Bufferin and Gas-X with expiration dates of Dec. 20, 2013, or earlier," the Los Angeles Times reports. (For more specifics, check out Novartis' website.)
Apparently, there was a mix-up at Novartis' Lincoln, Neb., plant, so a bunch of strong painkillers -- such as Percocet, Endocet, Opana, and Zydone -- got put into these over-the-counter meds' bottles by mistake.
Novartis and Food and Drug Administration officials worry that people could accidentally take the wrong pill, and then experience an allergic reaction or overdose.

Negative: 8 out of 27
An intriguing, visually startling murder mystery that showcases the virtuosity of Samuel L. Jackson.
To watch Samuel L. Jackson in the role is to realize again what a gifted actor he is, how skilled at finding the right way to play a character who, in other hands, might be unplayable.
Never quite shakes itself free of the tired cliche that street people are quirky, sometimes cute, and somehow privy to a spiritual purity lost to us social folk.
More psychological realism and less showy cinema would have made this offbeat melodrama more memorable.
An unsteady and uneven film, which bangs up against its ambitions gracelessly and distractingly.
Calling a cave of rocks home while spouting invective worthy of the Juilliard attendee he once was, homeless-by-choice Samuel L. Jackson worms his way into one of the least compelling mysteries in years.
Valentine isn't exploitative or trendy in the manner of so many indie films. Rather, it seems like the kind of art film that might have been dreamed up by a feverish high schooler.

BANGALORE, December 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
An India-focused Project, Gyan (Knowledge) Lab Strives to Improve Human Resource Value in India by Empowering School Kids Through Hands-on Exposure and Practical Constructive Learning
Dell today announced the winners of the Dell Education Challenge, a global competition for university students with entrepreneurial ideas to improve education, both in and out of the classroom.
The team comprising of two Indian students, Sonali Gupta from Manipal Institute of Technology and Priyadeep Sinha from Indira Gandhi National Open University, was adjudged the first runner-up for its project Gyan (Knowledge) Lab and awarded a cash prize of $5,000. This team was among the four finalists who traveled to Dell World to compete for a $10,000 grand prize and other support to advance their innovative ideas.
The competition received more than 400 project entries from around the world, proposing solutions to today's biggest issues in education, including those identified in a recent poll commissioned by Dell. Global poll respondents said technology gives students a more personalized experience that they value, but added that technology needs are not being met in schools today.
The grand prize of the Dell Education Challenge 2012 was awarded to Forward Tutoring, an online platform where students earn credits for volunteering in their communities and redeem those credits for tutoring from other qualified students; tutors in turn can earn scholarships and internships from supporting organizations. Forward Tutoring will use the funds, from the grand prize, to support burgeoning university chapters working to bring accessible online tutoring to communities.
Gyan (Knowledge) Lab, the project from India that won the second place, is a kinesthetic lab facility that encourages and allows school kids (Grades 3-9) to learn practical concepts in Science, Social Science, Electronics, Robotics, Mathematics and Pre-vocational Learning (day to day activities and utilities), in a hands-on manner using practical experiments, activities and model-making. The facility is usually setup within a school free of cost and students attend it by paying an annual fee. Championing the concept of Constructivism Pedagogy (a new phenomenon in India), the lab has aligned its work to the best 5 curriculum standards of the world to give the most comprehensive real-life skills to school students at the most affordable prices.
The two other finalists who also traveled to Dell World in Austin for the competition were:
- e-Education for GAZA, which seeks to overcome geographic barriers to quality education for Gaza's children with learning difficulties through video curriculum, where Gaza's teachers can connect with education experts in their subject matters.
- Next Step Leaders, which provides leadership development training for highly effective teachers in roles such as department chairs or grade-level leaders. Teachers receive 360 degree feedback, personalized assessments, whole group leadership training and individualized one-on-one coaching.
Another seven Promising Projects were chosen to receive $1,000 each to advance their ideas. All projects in the Dell Education Challenge are automatically entered in the 2013 Dell Social Innovation Challenge, which supports promising young social innovators working to solve the world's most pressing problems by providing teaching, training, start-up capital, and access to a network of mentors, advisers and like-minded student social entrepreneurs. Projects compete for more than $350,000 in cash awards and other prizes to bring their ideas to life. Entrants must post projects by Jan. 28, 2013 for consideration in the 2013 challenge.
For more information, visit www.dellchallenge.org.
"To participate on an enormous global platform with the Dell Education Challenge has been a very important lesson for us. We now feel more confident about the success of the project and are looking forward to utilizing the award and resources provided by the Dell Education Challenge to further enhance Gyan Lab and make it accessible to more and more kids in India."
Priyadeep Sinha, Gyan Lab
"When students are given the opportunity to express their ideas for improving education, and when they are provided the tools and support to make these ideas a reality, transformation in learning whether in or out of the classroom happens. We are encouraged to see the enthusiasm and ideas from students around the world who participated in the Dell Education Challenge, and we look forward to working together to see the winning ideas come to fruition."
Mark Horan, Vice president of education, Dell
"We are thrilled to congratulate the winner of our first international spotlight challenge. We believe that education is one of the most important issues of our time and we are excited to support young social entrepreneurs who provide solutions in this area. We plan on doing more spotlight challenges focusing on issues of global concern as we shift to a year-round model of student engagement."

We provide university students with a global network of like-minded social innovators, world-class teaching and training, as well as with start-up capital and access to a network of mentors and advisors. Our challenge was launched in 2007 by the RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service in the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2008 Dell became our title sponsor, lending its name and resources. Dell announced a $5 million gift to expand our efforts worldwide at the close of the 2011 challenge to engage more than 60,000 students a year. Since our launch, more than 15,000 students from 105 countries have proposed more than 4,500 ideas. We've awarded more than $450,000 to more than 50 student teams around the world.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Mercedes-Benz wins Best of Show title at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
Mercedes-Benz wins Best of Show title at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
By: Mercedes-Benz
• A Mercedes-Benz Saoutchik S Type receives the coveted award
• Originally delivered in 1928
• Seventh Best of Show title for Mercedes-Benz
– A Mercedes-Benz Saoutchik S Type has won this year's Best of Show title at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The car, whose 'torpedo' bodywork with low windscreen was designed by French coachbuilder Jacques Saoutchik, captured the hearts of the judges, who named it the finest vehicle on display at the prestigious event.
The Mercedes-Benz Classic Archives have information on the winning car to offer. It was originally ordered by Mercedes-Benz Comp. Inc., New York, for a Mr. Charles Levine, New York. On 2 August 1928, the chassis was delivered to Saoutchik in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The company manufactured and mounted the sports two-seater body and charged 72,327.25 French Francs (equalling 11,572.35 Reichsmark) to Daimler-Benz AG in December 1928. The exact date of delivery is not documented, but it is supposed to have happened in December 1928.
Current owners Judy and Paul Andrews of White Settlement, Texas, had the car extensively restored before presenting it to the panel of judges in Pebble Beach. Before that the vehicle had been kept in storage for around 30 years.
The Mercedes-Benz S Type – also known as the 680 S because of its 6.8-litre engine capacity – was launched in 1927 as an evolution of the Mercedes-Benz Model K super sports car. It established the legendary family of heavyweight supercharged cars that included the SS and SSK models from 1928. The cars dominated racing history over the years, but could also be bought as conventional road vehicles. All vehicles in this family had a six-cylinder in-line engine with a supercharger to increase output. Power was also boosted by the dual ignition. Each cylinder had two spark plugs, one fired by a battery ignition and the other by a high-voltage magneto ignition.
Exclusive high-performance sports car
The 6.8-litre engine of the S Type, the model on which all the others were based, produced an output of 120 bhp (88 kW) without a supercharger and 180 bhp (132 kW) with the supercharger engaged. This made the S Type one of the fastest and most sought-after sports cars of its time. Its debut public appearance at the opening race at the Nürburgring in 1927 ended with a threefold victory for Mercedes-Benz. Rudolf Caracciola drove his S Type across the finishing line in first place.
Only 146 of these exclusive high-performance sports cars were ever made, the vast majority of them sold as open-top four-seaters with a Sindelfingen body. A select few, however, such as this year's Best in Show winner at Pebble Beach, were delivered as a chassis to have their bodywork made by the most famous coachbuilders of the era. For many years now, the Mercedes-Benz S Type has been one of the most popular collector's cars and also one of the most valuable.
At a Gooding & Company auction held at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster from 1936 was sold for $11.8 million. 'Mercedes-Benz vehicles always achieve top prices at international auctions,' says Michael Bock, Head of Mercedes-Benz Classic. 'And the Special Roadster is one of the most coveted cars among prominent collectors.' This particular vehicle has an fascinating history. First bought by an aristocratic Prussian family, it soon passed into the ownership of Baroness Gisela von Krieger. During the Second World War, she took the Special Roadster first to Switzerland and from there to the USA, where it remained unused in a garage for more than 40 years until her death. The car was then restored to immaculate condition.
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the USA is among the world's most prestigious classic car shows. This year there was a separate class for the creations of Jacques Saoutchik. Originally from Russia, the cabinetmaker had emigrated to France and established a coachbuilding company that enjoyed widespread fame in the 1920s and 1930s. He produced many extravagant designs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz cars have a very special place on the hallowed turf of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, winning Best of Show seven times and collecting more than 120 First in Class and Special Awards as part of a long list of successes since 1950.
Did you know ...?
At the Goodwood Revival (14-16 September 2012) Mercedes-Benz Classic will be represented by five original Silver Arrows from the 1930s – and is organising a staged race for them together with Auto Union which will be the biggest gathering of Silver Arrows for a number of decades.

Can AF-Fine Tune be done on the fly?
Jul 27, 2012
Can you do AF fine tune, say, when you are out on a photo trip?
Or has it be home, with a sturdy tripod, fixed target, etc...
I have seen some youtube video of the latter.

Love is love.
History has a way of repeating itself a little too often…
Too many times we've seen the struggles of people fighting for what they believe in. Fighting for what's rightfully theirs. Fighting for equality.
So, what's different this time around?
Sure, the word "equality" is dressed a bit more colorfully, but really, what's the difference?
Throughout history, people constantly fixate on this idea of tradition. However, tradition by any other name is simply habit. And habits, as we all know, are not always a good thing.
At this point in our lives, we are finally beginning to break one of these negative—not to mention ancient—habits and moving towards change.
And I think I speak for everyone when I say: It's about time.
Straying away from tradition can be unnerving and, like anything worth fighting for,
it's not going to be easy.
It will, however,
be worth it.
When all is said and done, are we not simply fighting for love?
Love of another human being?
Love of love itself?
A distinct concept of love has been planted in our heads since we were young. We grow up with things like fairy tales that paint pictures in our minds of how it's supposed to be, yet we constantly disregard how it really is.
Love is out there,
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
it rarely occurs in the rom-com, knight in shining armor saves the damsel in distress, recite poetry about her beauty from below the balcony, "Babe, you float on the giant door while I freeze to death in the below-zero water" sort of way.
And if it does? Someone please tell me where to start hanging out.
At the end of the day,
(And the beginning and middle…)
Love is love.
It comes in all shapes and sizes, all colors, dialects, genders, you name it.
It's in our nature to love.
So then,
why go through all this trouble to prevent something that's natural?
Once again, history repeats itself.
But this time, in an amazing way.
Eyes have been opened.
A revolution has begun.
However, we must not forget,
"No law can change us.
we have to change us."
Forget tradition.
Fight for what is right.
Because underneath,
it's all the same love.
Like elephant love on Facebook.

The liquidators of two Bear Stearns hedge funds that were among the earliest victims of the credit crisis have sued the three major credit-rating agencies.
The Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund and a more highly-levered sister fund collapsed in 2007, costing investors some $1.6 billion and contributing to the bank's eventual fall. The funds' managers were acquitted of misleading investors and last year settled allegations leveled by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Now, the fund's liquidators say much of the misleading was done by Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which "intentionally and knowingly misrepresented information concerning their independence, the accuracy of their ratings, the quality of their models, and the extent of their surveillance" of the mortgage-backed securities that the hedge funds bought.
Tuesday's court filing was not the liquidators' full complaint, and did not include details of their allegations. The lawsuit, brought in New York state court in Manhattan, appears designed to beat a six-year statute of limitations; the ratings agencies began to downgrade the funds' holdings in July 2007.
Both Fitch and S&P said the allegations were "without merit."
