RATINGS: 90 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.43/5 SEASONAL: Summer EST. CALORIES: 180 ABV: 6%
Baird Natsumikan Summer Ale is an extraordinarily unique beer that was an immense challenge to brew. Wheat and barley combine in equal proportions as the base malt; Japanese candy sugar contributes five percent of the fermentables; and freshly peeled and crushed natsumikans (Japanese summer mikans) from both Shizuoka and Fukuoka are added to the kettle at the end of wort boiling (approximately 33 kg of natsumikans per 225 liters wort). The natsumikans from Shizuoka (the Heda garden of our carpenter friend, Nagakura-san) are quite large, grapefruit-like mikans with a distinct grapefruit-like tart and sour character. The Fukuoka mikans (from the Kita-Kyushu orchard of beer enthusiast and friend, Tago-san), on the other hand, are smaller, sweeter and more orange-like in character. Aprroximately 75% of the natsumikans we used come from Shizuoka and 25% from Fukuoka
Also known as Shizuoka Summer Mikan.

Managing NuGet Packages Using the Dialog
This topic describes how to find, install, remove, and update NuGet packages using the Manage NuGet Packages dialog box. To use this dialog box, you must have a solution open in Visual Studio. As an alternative, you can install packages using PowerShell commands. For more information, see Using the Package Manager Console.
For managing packages within multiple projects in the solution at the same time, skip to the section on Managing Packages for the Solution.
Finding a Package
In Solution Explorer, right-click the References node and click Manage NuGet Packages....
In a Website project, right click on the **Bin** node.
Click the Online tab to display the list of available packages.
Browse through the list, or search for a package using the search box at the top right of the dialog box. For example, to find the logging package named ELMAH, enter "elmah" or "logging".
Long lists are divided into pages. Use the paging links at the bottom to move from page to page.
When you select a package, an Install button appears, and a description is shown in the right-hand pane.
Installing a Package
To install a package, select it and then click Install. NuGet installs the selected package and any other packages it is dependent on. Files are copied to the solution, references might be added to the project, the project app.config or web.config file might be updated, etc.
You might be asked to accept license terms.
When the installation completes, the Install button turns into a green check mark to indicate that the package was installed correctly.
In Solution Explorer, you can see references that Visual Studio has added for the installed library or libraries.
If your app.config or web.config file required changes, those have been applied. The following example shows some of the changes for ELMAH.
A new folder named packages is created in your solution folder. (If your project does not have a solution folder, the packages folder is created in the project folder.)
The packages folder contains a subfolder for each installed package. This subfolder contains the files installed by the package. It also contains the package file itself (the .nupkg file, which is a .zip file that contains all of the files included in the package).
You can now use the library in your project. IntelliSense works when you enter code, and library features such as the ELMAH logging information page work when you run the project.
Removing a Package
Open the Manage NuGet Packages dialog and make sure the Installed Packages tab is selected to display the list of installed packages.
Select the package you want to uninstall and then click Uninstall to remove the package.
The following package elements are removed:
- References in the project. In Solution Explorer, you no longer see the library in the References folder or the bin folder. (You might have to build the project to see it removed from the bin folder.)
- Files in the solution folder. The folder for the package you removed is deleted from the packages folder. If it is the only package you had installed, the packages folder is also deleted.)
- Any changes that were made to your app.config or web.config file are undone.
If other packages were installed because they were dependencies of the package that you removed, you might want to remove them also.
If a package has dependencies, NuGet prompts offering the choice to remove the package's dependencies.
Updating a Package
Open the Manage NuGet Packages dialog and make sure the Updates tab is selected to display the list of packages that have newer versions available.
If any packages have updates available, they will be listed in the center pane. The following screenshot shows a newer version of jQuery available.
Select the package you want to update and click Update to update the package to the latest version.
If a package includes release notes, they will show up in place of the description in the right pane.
Managing Packages for the Solution
In the previous section, we looked at managing packages for a single project. In NuGet 1.4 and above, the Manage NuGet Packages dialog can also be launched at the solution level in order to install/uninstall packages in multiple projects at the same time.
Just right click on the Solution and select Manage NuGet Packages. You can also launch this dialog from
The dialog looks the same as it does when launched from a project, but notice the title bar indicates that the scope of the dialog is the solution.
The key difference is that each operation lets you select which projects it applies to.
Installing Online Packages
When the Online tab is selected, clicking the Install button allows selecting the set of projects to install the package into.
Managing Installed Packages
When the Installed tab is selected, clicking the Manage button allows toggling whether or not the package is installed for each project.
Updating Packages
When the Updates tab is selected, clicking the Update button allows selecting the set of projects to install the update into.
Package Sources
NuGet can display packages from multiple package sources. To add a package source, click on the Settings button in the dialog to launch the Options dialog. Make sure the Package Sources node is selected in the dialog.
Type in the name of a source as well as its URL or folder path (a folder containing NuGet package files is a valid package source) and then click the Add button.
The package source will be listed under the All node. Click on the package source to view packages from that source. The All node displays an aggregated view of packages from all package sources.
If you want to temporarily disable a package source, just uncheck the package source in the dialog. This is useful if a package source is temporarily down for some reason and you need to keep it from being included in the aggregate feed.

Olds Gas Engine Works' roots can be traced back to 1880, when the Lansing, Mich.-based company was established as P.F. Olds & Son. For the next 25 to 30 years, the company underwent many changes, most notably the transition from Olds Gas Power Co. to the Saeger Engine Works.
The photos shown here are from the collection of David Kolzow Jr., Hampton, Iowa. Some were originally produced for Olds catalogs, while others were taken by A.L. Pouleur, an Olds chemist in the early 1900s. Most of these photos have never been seen by the general public.

The Hamilton County Assessor of Property
sets an appraised value on each parcel of land located in Hamilton County
and any improvements on it for assessment purposes except for public
utility and railroad property whose value is determined by the
Office of State Assessed Properties.
The Assessor's office also determines
the value of the tangible personal property of businesses.
The office hears property owner appeals relative to the value the office
has set on their real and personal property. If the appeal cannot be resolved
to the satisfaction of the property owner, appeals may be filed with the
Hamilton County Board of Equalization.
Assessments provide the basis for determining the amount of real and personal
property tax the property owner must pay; however, other offices and entities
substantially influence the amount of tax the property owner ultimately
pays. The county or city legislative body determines the tax rate.

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
I am a writer who loves to teach writing and help other writers develop their skills. I'm also committed to making Cedarville University's Writing Center top notch and thus regularly participate in writing center conferences, where I both learn from professionals across the world and conduct presentations about the many innovative approaches we've developed here. I'm a charter member of the Ohio Writing Center Consortium, and I've published work in the peer reviewed, widely circulated Writing Lab Newsletter. I'm also a poet who's published three books and many poems in literary venues across the U.S. I bring all this experience and expertise to the writing center here, and I enjoy working with the students, faculty, and staff who visit. Stop by soon—I'd love to meet you!
I am a writer, debate coach, and lover of popular culture. I first learned of my love for helping others with writing by working as a consultant at the Cedarville University Writing Center. I like to write about a number of topics, ranging from contemporary American literature to children's movies, from Homer to obscure graphic novels. If you come around the writing center, you'll likely see me observing sessions, leading workshops, and generally making trouble.
Hello! I'm a psychology major with a minor in studio art. I'm from Falmouth, Maine and desperately miss forests, mountains, and the smell of the ocean while I'm at school. You should know that I like art because it helps me see the world differently. Someday I hope to work with kids. Also, I could eat a bowl of pasta with homemade sauce daily—it's my favorite food (dark chocolate is a close second). Another fun fact: Some people think I look like Rory Gilmore from the Gilmore Girls. I enjoy kayaking and hiking, but I also love to listen and I want to help you out with whatever writing challenge you're facing.
Howdy, I'm a Language Arts Education major from one of the smallest towns in Ohio, which is saying something. I love soccer, Ohio State football, my country, and books. I am super excited about working in the Writing Center with the great students of this school! Your paper will be my foremost concern during tutoring sessions, and I hope that we can tackle assignments with enthusiasm and coffee. I look forward to hearing the unique ideas and viewpoints within your writing because that means you are exercising your freedom of speech like a true American. Come see me!
Hello! I'm a pharmacy major from Beavercreek, Ohio. I also have a minor in chemistry, which means I survived those tricky analytical chemistry lab reports! I'd be happy to help discuss how to organize your papers better, navigate the active/passive voice differences in scientific writing, or help you survive your composition assignments. I also love anything about philosophy or ethics. I look forward to assisting you with all your writing needs.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and speak Pittsburghese fluently. My major in graphic design permits me to express myself visually while my creative writing minor has developed my composing skills. I am passionate about racing 100 miles on my bike, exploring nearby hiking trails, reading classic novels, and eating cheesecake. If you're seeking a friendly tutor who loves meeting new people, but who also strives to be helpful and encouraging, then come see me at the Writing Center!
Hello! I am currently working towards majors in both chemistry and Spanish. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and am a huge fan of the University of Michigan football and basketball teams. I love watching the Detroit Tigers as well. I spent a brief time studying abroad in Spain last summer and love the Spanish language and culture. I cannot wait to go back one day. In my spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball, wallyball, reading, drinking coffee, eating ice cream, running (begrudgingly), and watching Netflix. I hope to one day be a physician assistant and world traveler. I love helping students with any form of writing and welcome all students! Come visit!
I am a psychology major with aspirations to be a clinical counselor. I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, which perfectly combines the hubbub of city life with the peace of quiet neighborhoods and state parks. Spare time usually finds me running with the cross country team, sipping a hot drink, or foraging for chocolate. Wedding planning recently entered my weekly agenda, so Pinterest is my new best friend. I also love hiking and long to live near mountains. Since I am quiet gal, writing allows me to express the ideas I struggle to verbalize, and I would love to help you find your voice through writing as well!
I'm a strategic communications major with a management minor from North Carolina where everyone thinks 35 degrees is freezing. During my first Ohio winter, I turned into an icicle and never quite thawed. I love chocolate chip cookies more than almost anything in the world. I also like to sing, go off the trail while hiking, make sarcastic comments, watch Netflix, and use a million sticky notes. I love brainstorming and working on papers, so feel free to come see me any time at the Writing Center.
Hi! I'm a Middle Childhood Education major with concentrations in math and English. Yes, I do like both math and English (most of the time), and yes, I do want to work with middle schoolers. Crazy, I know! My three favorite things are water (for drinking and for swimming), potatoes (in nearly all their forms), and ice cream. Some of my favorite activities are playing Frisbee and eating ice cream (although not at the same time . . . yet). My favorite books are deep reads like Harold and the Purple Crayon and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Okay, so while deep thinking may not be my forte, I would love to learn alongside you as we go over any or every writing assignment you'd like to bring in. I'm excited to work with you!
Hello! I am from Jackson, Michigan and am currently a junior in the pharmacy program. I thrive on a steady diet of dark chocolate and black coffee and believe that sunlight should be everyone's main source of Vitamin D. I enjoy cooking and baking, watching football as much as possible, and exploring new places. I love talking with and learning from people. I look forward to working with you!
I am an Early Childhood Education major from Connecticut. I have a passion for both reading and writing, but an even greater passion for coffee. My favorite foods include strawberries, caramel, chocolate, and pretty much anything sweet, so it's a good thing that I enjoy taking bike rides and going for hikes. When I have spare time, I like to read YA fiction, which is probably a good thing since I'm going to teach kids. I love every step of the writing process, from brainstorming to editing, and would be happy to work with you at any stage of your paper.
Hi there! I was born and raised in Burrillville, Rhode Island, and I'm very proud of my New England roots. My major is Professional Writing and Information Design, so I obviously love to write. In addition to writing, though, I love to play my clarinet and to spend far too much time watching crime shows on Netflix. Oreos are my major weakness, and I am a firm believer that hugs make the world a better place. I'm quite the nerd when it comes to writing (and especially grammar), so come see me anytime!
I am a math major with an actuarial science minor from the northwest suburbs of Chicago (Lake Barrington, IL). Although I prefer working with numbers and mathematical concepts, writing is something that really intrigues me. I find it really interesting how word choice, organization, punctuation, etc. can affect how a reader comprehends a sentence, paragraph, or paper. In my free time, I enjoy watching videos from hip-hop competitions, cooking, baking, and dancing. I'd love to work with you at the Writing Center, so make sure you come visit!
I'm an English major from Indiana with a passion for smooth pens. I'm into writing, but I'm especially interested in talking about writing, which means we're both in luck if you visit the Writing Center. I'm a stern advocate of the long "a" sound in Ramen (as in rhymes with Cayman), and I'm fascinated by the concept of self-discipline. When it comes to writing, I particularly enjoy discussing ideas, and paper/paragraph/sentence organization really gets me excited. Take a peek at my hours on the online schedule, and perhaps we can link up and chat about writing.
Hi! I'm Hannah, and I'm a Michigander majoring in English. You might see me around campus with my camera taking photos of flowers or ducks. I like coffee and tea, both of which go wonderfully with a good book and a hammock. I have a fascination with sailing ships (even though I have never been on one), a newfound love of gardening, and a tendency to stand outside in downpours. One of my favorite things about reading and writing is the opportunity to view the world in new ways. I would be happy to talk about writing with you.
Hello, I'm a Professional Writing and Information Design major minoring in Honors and Creative Writing. Since I'm a thrower on the Track and Field team, I spend most of my spare time getting ready to compete in the javelin, discus, shot put, weight, and hammer throws. However, I still have plenty of time to read my favorite works by Dostoevsky and T. S. Eliot. I also enjoy anything that reminds me of my home in southern Maine like blueberries, mountains, and books by Stephen King.
I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and love the nature of my home state. Passionate about reading, writing, history, culture, and analyzing, I hope to continue learning in grad school. In my free time, I like having coffee with friends and taking solitary walks outside in nature. I also LOVE anything STAR WARS. If you're looking for a tutor who is chill and personable, yet dedicated and helpful, I'm your man.
Hey, stranger. I'm a fan of New England, dark, cave-like spaces, overcast skies, woods, mountains, candles, autumn, the '90's, controversial discussions, music, literature, and tomatoes. If you find yourself drawn to at least one of the aforementioned items, look no further—I would love to work with you on any of your writing assignments during any stage of the writing process.
Hi. I am a junior Christian education (ministry) and psychology double major from Lorain Ohio, near Cleveland. I hope to use my career to help youth and families in some fashion. Some of my favorite things to do are read, listen to music, and argue (in a constructive, friendly way of course). A random fun fact: I have over 70 frog stuffed animals and figurines. I am happy to be someone you can bounce ideas off of, and I will gladly talk with you about how to improve the argument of your paper.

quote: I understand there is a slew of more variables than there was when they made cars without belts (including higher car speeds).
quote: Principle remains, is the belts making people irresponsible? Same goes for this, people should be increasingly aware with these vehicles... but we all know how people can be.
quote: I've ridden every day for the past 6 years, and can say, that without a doubt, loud pipes HAVE saved my life. People don't look for bikes, so at least they can hear me. Talk to a few bikers who have had friends killed by ignorant drivers before dishing out crap about a baby getting woken up while sleeping outside.
quote: Oncoming traffic and motorists at side streets don't hear you until AFTER you've gone past them because your exhaust noise is directed behind you.
quote: Unfortunately the excess posterior orifices that ride loud bikes actually believe this urban myth.
quote: Coming soon: Mufflers banned to assist the hard of hearing.
quote: I don't think that 0.3% of the population should be overly concerned about this.
quote: Where the needs of the few, outweigh the needs of the many.
quote: All you people who text whilst driving...FYI, every time I see one of you it takes a supreme effort to resist ramming you off the road.
quote: Another complaint they have is that no warning sounds are emitted when the vehicle is idling.
quote: No sound while idling is a benefit, there's no need for it. Yes, blind pedestrians could be started when the car is shifted into drive and the noise starts, but how is that different than someone starting a car and driving off 3 seconds later.
quote: Computers have been known to have "glitches" once or twice - not an uncommon occurance.
quote: Honestly what do they expect the blind pedestrian to do if they hear this coming? Dive and roll out of the way??!
quote: How about not stepping out to cross the street. Try it sometime on a not too busy street that you're familiar with; close your eyes and see if you can hear a car coming and from how far away. I'll bet you can hear it well enough that you could cross safely based on what you do and don't hear. There are a lot of very valid complaints about this system, but it being worthless to blind people isn't one of them.
quote: To a blind person, whats the difference between any parked car (let alone an EV) and an idled silent car?
quote: A parked car is probably not going to move soon, one idling might. Being aware of its presence allow them to be prepared for that possibility.
quote: but if it comes at the expense of my sanity

'As Nobody I was Sovereign': Reading Derrida Reading Blanchot
School of Law, Birkbeck, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, UK
Received: 1 October 2012 / Revised: 18 December 2012 / Accepted: 20 December 2012 / Published: 4 January 2013

AbstractIn Session 7 (26 February 2003) of The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume II, Jacques Derrida engages again with Maurice Blanchot, two days after the latter's cremation. This intervention also appears as a post-face to Derrida's 2003 edition of Parages, his collection of essays devoted to the work of Blanchot. In this article, I examine Derrida's affinity to the work of Blanchot, as the one whose work 'stood watch over and around what matters to me, for a long time behind me and forever still before me' [The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume II, p. 176]. In doing so I look at the manner in which Derrida engaged with Blanchot in his work and how in examining this engagement another reading of sovereignty emerges, one which is not tethered to liberal models of sovereign will but one which eludes biopolitical ordering and may be seen as a form of disappearance. Through a reading of Derrida's readings of Blanchot's The Madness of the Day I emphasize the link of this alternative sovereignty to both writing and literature in order to demonstrate how a more radical thinking of sovereignty can be discovered in Derrida's thought.

Post subject: what was your baby eating at 9.5 months....
Just out of intrest really what were you bubbas eating at 9.5 months.
Max has been a pretty good eater, however the last week gone off his food, think he has two top teeth on the way, but also think he is getting fed up being spoon fed. He has toast, cheese chunks, cucumber, pitta bread but any ideas what else he could have?? I made homemade chicken goujons the other night thinking he would love them and he wouldn't try them at all. Not sure if it's the texture???
I feel like I am giving him the same old thing....

What about some carrot sticks, some ripe banana chunks, bread sticks. I gave my LO some homemade pizza and some boilded potatoes to eat with is hands at that age. But he was a good eater and not sure if all babies would manage that so young (not trying to imply he is majorly advanced or anything the boy just loves food lol). I am sure you will know if you LO will manage that too. You can also get organix carrot or sweetcorn ring crisps which are good finger foods for a snack when your out and about. My LO is 11 months now and I give him most things I am eating yesterday he ate a cheese sandwich. Steamed veg is also good for giving them to eat with there hands.

Thank you, I might try some homemade pizza for lunch and see how he gets on with that!! I find it difficult to gauge his appetite really, sometimes I think he is happy to have a bigger main course and skip yogurt/rice pudding after!
He won't eat fruit in chunks, just strawberries, the rest only in puree form in a yogurt! Hopefully he gets a bit better in time with fruit!

Thank you, I will try them! think he would like to hold them himself.
I took him to docs yesterday though and he has a sore throat so explains why he has been off food this week, poor thing. Yesterday had 3 bottles plus water but ate zero all day... Seems a bit better today!
He has been funny with lumps in food all week, so hoping it's just a phase!

My son is 9months shortly and he has anything we do and has done since 6 months. So he will sit down and have curry, pasta, stir fry, roast dinners, fish pie, I could go on! But in terms of finger food he has, all types of fruit, crackers and cheese, veg sticks, sandwich soldiers (tuna,cheese,jam) fish fingers, raisin toast, chicken strips, pork strips, cucumber, tomatoes, chips and wedges (homemade) pancakes (sweet and savoury) I did baby led weaning with my son and he is a much less fussy eater than my daughter who we didn't give food to try herself early on, keep perservering though and don't make it a big deal if they don't eat what you want them too.

Google leases London property for start-up launchpad
Web giant joins "Tech City" initiative by leasing seven-storey property "to provide a launchpad for new London-based start-ups and developers"
Share article
Short of time?
Web giant Google has announced that it is to lease a seven-storey property in London's Old Street area, in order to house a "launchpad" for technology start-ups.
The company says it will open up the facility "to other organisations that support technology entrepreneurs, working together to provide a launchpad for new London-based start-ups and developers".

How Cisco plans to spend $500m in East London The network equipment vendor hopes to fund entrepreneurs whose ideas can make the capital smarter and more connected. But on what condition?
Google would not provide any more details on what kind of organisation this refers to, but said that it will "announce more details about the organisations we'll work with and how they will use the space in the coming months".
The new site will also play host to "speaker series, hackathons, training workshops and product demonstrations for engineers who could benefit from Google's knowledge of building large scale online services", Google said.
Google plans to open the facility next year, and has signed a lease that lasts until 2022.
The company's decision mirrors plans by networking giant Cisco, which announced a $500 million investment in the UK government's East London Tech City initiative earlier this year. Cisco is planning to establish two "innovation centres" – one in Shoreditch, the other on the Olympic site – where it hopes to incubate start-ups whose technology would stimulate demand for its networking equipment.
However, when it comes to Silicon Valley tech giant actually locating their own offices, the trend appears to favour Dublin over London. Last week, micro-blogging site Twitter announced a new international office in Dublin, where Google and Facebook already have international headquarters.

Letters of Invitation
Depending on the country of origin, some foreign nationals wishing to visit Canada must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa. In order to do so, a letter of invitation is often required. This letter is written on behalf of the Canadian resident who wishes to invite the person to apply for a visitor visa.
Once the letter is prepared and notarized, the person visiting Canada must present the original letter along with their application and other required documents to the Canadian consulate or embassy in their country
Almost always, visa offices require that letters of invitation be notarized by a Notary Public.
Red Seal Notary offers services such as drafting as well as notarization of letters of invitation.
Please note: A letter of invitation does not guarantee issuance of the visitor's visa. Visa officers will assess applicants to determine the eligibility for issuing a visitor's visa to Canada.
Client Information Form: Letters of Invitation
Please complete and submit the following information form. Once the letter of invitation document is prepared, a staff member will contact you to schedule an appointment.
Please Note:There is a charge associated with Red Seal Notary drafting your letter. If you already have your own letter prepared, please fill out the shorter online appointment form.

Mark Anderson's Blog November 22, 2006Posted by chetan in : AORTA,General , add a comment
Some of you might not know the genesis of the term AORTA – the title of this blog. It was coined by Mark Anderson in the nineties to represent a vision of "Always On Real-Time Access" much earlier than it became fashionable to say "anywhere, anytime" computing, even before "pervasive computing" came to limelight and IBM promoted at the turn of the century. In my prior life, I ran a "Pervasive Computing" practice that worked closely with IBM. I loved the acronym and it became the name of my first newsletter.
So years later when i started the blog earlier this year, i went with the familiar name. The point of all this is that, my thinking and work has been influenced by Mark's work and his thoughts and visions (I also have his interview in my last book on Wireless Data Services) over many years. Recently, he started a blog which I would recommend to put on your reading list.
3G – US and Worldwide trendsPosted by chetan in : 3G,AORTA,ARPU,Carriers,European Wireless Market,General,Indian Wireless Market,Intellectual Property,Japan Wireless Market,Mobile Ecosystem,US Wireless Market , 1 comment so far
Am posting the two graphs (click for full image) that were part of the two columns at GigaOM
First one was with my column on 3G status of EV-DO and WCDMA in the US
Second one was with Om's column on Status of Global 3G
There were some misunderstandings about 3G. First of all, the first column related only to the 3G status of the two technologies in the US. The figure (1) represents the percent penetration of the subscribers for the two technologies. There is no doubt that EV-DO will dominate WCDMA in the US for the next few years because of late start from both Cingular and T-Mobile. It takes time to assimilate subs on a new technology and while things will accelerate, EV-DO will stay a step ahead till both start reaching saturation. Plus it is simple math – Verizon + Sprint Nextel + Alltel > Cingular + T-Mobile.
From a world wide perspective, we did some analysis on the market last year and the forecasts are holding true. While there was skepticism in the industry, we noted in the paper that the conditions for inflection are ripe, and we should expect the growth factors to firm up in 06 and acceleration to start in 07, and that's exactly the trend thus far. US is already past 10M (from almost zero), Japan is past 50% 3G subs, Korea is approaching 50%, Europe is following the US trend (on an average, Italy is ahead of the rest). Once China and India start picking up things in 2008, we will see worldwide acceleration.
We will revisit 3G status early next year.
If you need cleaner versions of the images for your use, please let me know and I will send them to you.

Market changers November 16, 2006Posted by chetan in : General , add a comment
There were two interesting announcements in the last 24 hours that have much wider implications. First, Operator 3 announced flat-rate pricing for data services on its 3G network, probably the first carrier to do that anywhere in the world. The concept is not new, Willcom in Japan has been doing the same on their PHS network but it is a very small player. 3 while being small has much more resources and its feet in many more countries, so the implications for competition are serious. Pricing remains to be seen and of course the execution but their head is in the right place .. This will have a spill over impact on the US market, when not if ..
Hutchison Whampoa Limited today announced the global launch of the X-Series from 3. The X-Series from 3 marks the beginning of the internet via mobile broadband, and heralds a new way of doing business for mobile network operators. It will extend several of the core applications and uses of the broadband internet to the mobile handset, with a new pricing model. The X-Series from 3 will be supported by the leading internet companies, cutting-edge handsets from the world's leading mobile manufacturers and premium customer service.
Next, Sprint-Microsoft announced their partnership on mobile search. Again it remains to be seen how it is executed. Does Sprint cede control or is it just another app on the deck with Google and Yahoo to come? What does this do the white-label players? Can they survive in this environment?
Microsoft and Sprint have formed a strategic alliance to develop and deliver a range of new services for Sprint's business and consumer mobile customers, starting with the introduction of Windows Live Search on their cellphones to search location-based content from the Internet, but this is just the beginning.
Sprint and Microsoft will share the revenue from advertisements placed alongside Windows Live search results and the two companies will work together to introduce new mobile phones services in the future.
India's mobile growth shattering records November 15, 2006Posted by chetan in : General , 1 comment so far
US added 4.7M new subs in the last quarter, India added 6.71M subs in October up from 6.07M in September. We had predicted this upswing in net adds earlier this year in our report India's Wireless Market: Model for the Next Phase of Global Wireless Expansion. China numbers are not in yet but looks like for the second straight month, India's net-adds eclipsed that of China.
Wireless World MagazinePosted by chetan in : General , 21 comments
As you might know that I have been involved with the Wireless World magazine out of Singapore for over 18 months. This magazine is truly one of THE best magazines in the industry, and I am not just saying that because I am a contributing analyst with the editorial board 🙂
They are launching a digital version of the magazine which will suit foreign readers so as to avoid the shipment delays. The Editorial team is offering 6 months of free subscription to try things out. I would highly encourage you to try this out.

Korean IT Leaders SummitPosted by chetan in : 3G,Devices,International Trade,Japan Wireless Market,Partnership,Speaking Engagements,US Wireless Market , add a comment
My love affair with Korea started last year when i was invited by the State Department to put together a Korean-US Trade Summit. I was honored to serve with several other dignitaries on the US advisory committee along with Co-chair Governor Gregoire. I had a chance to meet with several innovative companies at the event as well. Earlier this year, I was hired by the executive team at KTF, the number 2 carrier in Korea to do some strategy work. As a result, I spent sometime in Seoul and go to know more about the industry, the country, and the wonderful folks who are so digitally inclined that they rank #1 in ITU/UN's Digital Opportunity Index (ahead of Japan and US which is #21). Their engagement with games is at a different spiritual level.
So, it was only fitting that my first sponsorship of an event was rolled out at the Korean IT Leaders Summit which was held in Seattle last week. Proudly displayed my company banner side-by-side with Microsoft. Several senior executives from the Korean companies like SK Telecom were present. It always amazes me that the gulf between the device quality between Korea/Japan and US. Though the gap is closing, we are still worlds apart. I have a top of the line EV-DO LG phone. Comparing it with some of the handsets i saw in delegates hand, there is no comparison. User experience is so much better on handsets in Korea/Japan that us consumers in the US are missing out. I will have more on the Korean market next year.
I will be finishing the year with a stop in Seoul later in December.
If you are looking to do business in Korea or Japan or vice-versa for a North American or European company, let me know.
Google Cellphones November 14, 2006Posted by chetan in : General , add a comment
Eric Schmidt told Reuters "Your mobile phone should be free. It just makes sense that subsidies should increase" as advertising rises on mobile phones. While a certain percentage of the phones/service will be free or heavily subsidized (and it is not a new idea by any means, 3 in UK is already experimenting with it and there are MVNOs that desire to be ad-subsidized) by advertising, any "mass-free-phones" is not going to happen anytime soon. It is still a services business over operator's network which is run on a finite spectrum.
US Wireless Data Market: 3Q06 update November 13, 2006Posted by chetan in : 3G,AORTA,ARPU,Carriers,Devices,Infrastructure,Japan Wireless Market,M&A,Mergers and Acquisitions,Middleware,Mobile Advertising,Mobile Applications,Mobile Content,Mobile Ecosystem,Mobile Entertainment,Mobile Search,MVNO,Networks,Partnership,Smart Phones,Strategy,US Wireless Market,Worldwide Wireless Market , 2 comments
- US wireless data market continues to grow rapidly. As expected, for the first time, the top three US carriers (Verizon, Cingular, and Sprint Nextel) crossed $1B/quarter in data revenues. US is the only country with 3 carriers in the "$1B/quarter" data revenues group (7 carriers are in this group, only NTT DoCoMo is in the exclusive "over $2B/quarter" club). This takes the overall US wireless data service revenue tally to over $10.5B for the year (compared to $8.6B for entire 2005) and is expected to cross $15B in 2006.
- Verizon continues to dominate and has shown better performance than its rivals. It became the number one carrier in terms of service revenues and data revenues, and is heading steadfastly to claim the coveted "carrier with most subs" title by second half of 2007. Its data revenues for the year were approx. $3.1B followed by Cingular at $2.9B, Sprint Nextel at $2.8B, and T-Mobile US at $1.2B.
- Sprint retains its leadership position of highest wireless data ARPU in terms of absolute dollar amount at $7.75 but Verizon continues to lead in terms of % data ARPU at over 14%. Average data ARPU for the industry is now $6.8 or 13%.
- Overall ARPU (voice + data) increased slightly for the second straight quarter to $53.09 bucking the general trend of slow ARPU decline. Both Verizon and Cingular reported slight increase in voice ARPU. Average Overall ARPU was $53.09. Sprint led with $61 followed by T-Mobile at $51, Verizon at $50, and Cingular with $49.8.
- US 3G subscriber base continues to grow – primarily due to Verizon and Sprint Nextel's aggressive push. With Cingular and T-Mobile joining the fray, the 3G growth is expected to accelerate with 2007 being the inflection year.
- In terms of EV-DO vs. WCDMA, EV-DO is quite ahead in both coverage and handset diversity. As of Sept 2006, there were 15 3G handsets available in the market (representing approximately 20% of the available handsets from big four), 14 EV-DO (10 from Verizon, 4 from Sprint Nextel) vs. 1 UMTS/HSDPA handset from Cingular.
- US added over 16M net subscribers from Jan-Sept 2006. This translates into 1.7M subs/month which is slightly lower than the 2005 average of over 2M/month. Given the fact that we have crossed 75% penetration, the declining rate is indicative of approaching saturation in the market.
- The top 4 US carrier account for 81% of the subscribers, 86% of the service revenues, and approximately 95% of the wireless data revenues.
- US Off-net revenues for the year are likely to exceed $750M.
- Data ARPU of CDMA/EV-DO carriers was 20% higher than GSM/WCDMA carriers.
- Several high-profile MVNOs were launched over the course last year and the overall results have been disappointing primarily due to poor execution, instant crowding effect, and competition from big 4. Mobile ESPN was first to bow out last quarter.
- US wireless carriers are steadily climbing in their wireless data performance as compared to their peers worldwide. Verizon, Cingular, and Sprint maintained their ranking # 4, 5, and 7 respectively, amongst the top 10 operators worldwide in terms of total wireless data revenue generated for the first nine months of 2006.
- T-Mobile US outperformed its parent TMO Germany for the first time by generating $434M in data revenues (compared to $425M by TMO Germany).
- In terms of total wireless data revenue for the first nine months of 2006, the #1 carrier worldwide is NTT DoCoMo which has maintained its position for a number of years. It has generated over $7.8B in wireless data revenues during the first nine months and will eclipse $10B mark for 2006.
- In terms of wireless investments, over $5.1B was invested in wireless related companies/startups from Jan-Sept 2006. Source: Rutberg. Mobile TV/Video, Mobile Personalization, Mobile Search and Advertising, Semiconductor, Carrier infrastructure, Device design and development are hot areas. M&A activity also picked up quite significantly.
- Worldwide Handset market share Q306: Nokia and Motorola dominated with 35.4% and 21.5% market share respectively. Samsung with 12.3% stands third. Source: Credit Suisse.
- Sprint's cozing up with the cable guys has started the realignment for "quad-play" and "quintuple play" positioning in the market. Clearly, bundling enhances life value of the customer and lowers churn but do you do it through partnership or investment is the question on the table.
Web 3.0Posted by chetan in : General , add a comment
Had enough with Web 2.0?, well, Web 3.0 is introduced into the dialogue.
Referred to as Web 3.0, the effort is in its infancy, and the very idea has given rise to skeptics who have called it an unobtainable vision. But the underlying technologies are rapidly gaining adherents, at big companies like I.B.M. and Google as well as small ones. Their projects often center on simple, practical uses, from producing vacation recommendations to predicting the next hit song.
But in the future, more powerful systems could act as personal advisers in areas as diverse as financial planning, with an intelligent system mapping out a retirement plan for a couple, for instance, or educational consulting, with the Web helping a high school student identify the right college.
The projects aimed at creating Web 3.0 all take advantage of increasingly powerful computers that can quickly and completely scour the Web.
"I call it the World Wide Database," said Nova Spivack, the founder of a start-up firm whose technology detects relationships between nuggets of information by mining the World Wide Web. "We are going from a Web of connected documents to a Web of connected data."
Semantic web is where the real-value of disconnected information pieces comes to life. I had talked about it in my first book back in 2000. It is extremely relevant for mobile and related applications.

Motorola buying Good November 10, 2006Posted by chetan in : General , add a comment
Motorola said it has agreed to buy privately held Good Technology, a mobile computing software company, for an undisclosed amount. Motorola was under pressure to come up with an enterprise strategy after Nokia purchased Intellisync. They needed a way to compete with RIM (from the s/w point of view). With the number of middleware email players dropping faster than the temperature on the mountain top after sunset, Good seemed to be a good one to acquire. Will NTP go after deep pockets of Motorola? How about Visto, they are the last big one standing.

I was humbled when we were nominated by someone in the industry, didn't think we will be anywhere in top 20, especially with Industry veterans like GigaOM, Moconews, Engadget, O'Reilly, Mobhappy, Opengarden, and many others in the mix (a total of 70 blogs were nominated), so, it was a VERY pleasant surprise to be counted amongst the top 20. THANK YOU for your support and I will strive to keep you informed and continue the discussion.

NTP: Here we go again …Posted by chetan in : General , add a comment
This time the target is Palm. Haven't looked at the details but NTP might have a harder time against Palm as their patents are in the process of getting invalidated. It remains to be seen what if any valid claims NTP is left with and if there is any infringement associated with the smaller subset. However, this will drain Palm's resources which is already hurting from declining market share.
Cisco's purchase of OrativePosted by chetan in : General , add a comment
Didn't get a chance to write about this earlier. Pretty smart purchase to get them going in the Mobile Presence area. Orative has a compelling solution that will give Cisco and edge in their enterprise product portfolio. Have you noticed – Cisco does a fairly good job of buying and integrating companies without much fan-fare. Very companies are able to do that .. most end up in political, technical, and cultural disasters.
Good Pick, Cisco!
DoCoMo crosses 30M mark for FOMAPosted by chetan in : General , 2 comments
DoCoMo has been trailblazing the 3G lifecycle .. From their press release
NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries announced that the number of subscribers to DoCoMo's 3G FOMA™ service surpassed the 30 million mark on November 4, 2006, approximately five years and one month since the service's launch on October 1, 2001.
DoCoMo attributes the rapid subscriber growth to its wide variety of services and contents taking advantage of 3G's high speed and high capability data transmission, an expanding line-up of 3G handsets, wider coverage area and improvements in call quality.
DoCoMo plans to increase the number of FOMA base stations by 1.5 times year on year by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2007. The company also aims to expand the coverage area for FOMA HIGH-SPEED (HSDPA) that provides significantly faster speed than the current W-CDMA based data transmission, and to develop new compatible handset models. The company will also strengthen its range of 3G handsets featuring DoCoMo's Osaifu-Keitai™ e-wallet services, music functions and "One-segment" digital terrestrial broadcasting.
International WeekPosted by chetan in : General , add a comment
Attended a reception for Mayor of Shenzhen, China ysday. He was accompanied by a business delegation from Longgang District. Very modern infrastructure looking for next round of investments. It is interesting that he was emphasizing protection of IP in his speech, also had a white paper. Chinese clearly know that IP is their Achilles heel. If they don't act soon, their competitive advantage will be taken away by India who while having an imperfect system, have a much stronger prosecution initiative. Laws on books don't do much unless they can be enforced. I will be doing a paper on IP in China sometime next year when I kick-off a series on Intellectual Property and Innovation.
On Thursday, we welcome a high-level delegation from Korean IT Community. Wireless industry will be well represented by KTF and others. More on this later in the week.

Product Reviews
A couple of years ago Chris and I were exchanging e-mails on the subject of 18xx and found that we were agreed on the desirability of a shortish (3 hour) game that was for 3-4 players, had logical finance, proper route development and yet which, without being complicated, had enough in it to challenge experienced players as well as beginners. My suggestion was for a North of England scenario (Birmingham to the Scottish border, but to a slightly bigger scale than you get in 1829/25 and with London and Scotland providing off board targets). My reasoning was that this region had interesting geography, interesting railway history and six good companies. Of course, being North Country, it had the added attraction for me of being my home patch. However, Chris reckoned that the map would be too big and so the tentative plan to work together was dropped. I doodled on and off with my idea and after pitching a lot of the unnecessary chrome that had helped put Chris off it, managed to produce something that my group enjoy. Meanwhile, Chris, using a design of Mark Derrick's as a starting point, had been working much more assiduously and he has produced something that just about everybody should, for it really is a quite splendid achievement.
The setting is Kentucky and Tennessee, not a piece of railway territory with an obvious story line to it (unless you are a Country and Westem singer with an interest in giving suicidal truck drivers something to aim at) but that doesn't really matter. What does is what Chris and Mark have done with it.
The game has five private companies and you use as many of them as there are players. One of them carries with it the director's share in the Louisville & Nashville and the two optional ones an ordinary share in the same company. Apart from that, they just pay a dividend. There are no special powers that come with them and they can't be sold to public companies. So straight away that is two fewer things for new players to have to worry about. A third comes from the fact that there is no bidding and passing that goes on during their sale. Instead, the cards are just shuffled and dealt out. You then pay for the card you have been dealt and the game starts. Their sole function is to give the players early income and to ensure that the L&N is one of the starting public companies. There will probably be two others.
The next simplification that Chris has made is to get rid of small towns. The only other game I know that does this is the Dutch 1839, but it is not a bad idea. It simplifies the tile mix and it avoids the "how to avoid them" problem that is a feature of all the other North American scenarios. In 1829 small towns were fine, because they could be upgraded, but in the games where they can't be, they are a problem and result in some very odd-looking routes. In 1851 the track laid looks sensible and this is one of the reasons why. The other is that Chris has provided a strong incentive for players to build to the edges. There are five red off-board hexes and if a train begins its run at one of them and ends it at another, a bonus of 10 is scored for each station visited. This is significant extra income and constructing a red-to-red route that also uses the full station allowance for the train is a problem to keep route builders happy. And in order to make sure that it is not going to be an easy problem, Chris has also come up with a way of ensuring that a lot of station markers are going to be laid. Unlike most games in the series, you don't pay to build a station. Instead, a company buys its four station markers as soon as it floats. So thereafter there is no reason not to play them all. It is just a question of where and a significant amount of inter-company competition results.
Companies finance themselves by selling their shares and all sales are at the current market price. Shares that have not yet been sold belong to the company and it gets the dividends from them. Dividends from second-hand shares in the bank pool are retained by the bank. A company can buy back shares from the bank pool, thereby giving itself a source of extra income, and it can also sell its shares to the bank, should it need to raise capital. For a simple model, this is a satisfyingly realistic picture of how real companies operate in real stock markets and we are spared the illogicalities that I, for one, find irritating in the two Mayfair games.
The stock market is 1830 style, but without the coloured zones at the bottom end of the chart. Share prices go down when shares are sold and when the company fails to pay a dividend. They go up if all the shares of a company are in private hands and if the company pays a total dividend equal to its share price. Half dividends may be paid and if they are the share price will still go up, provided the dividend actually paid out to shareholders is high enough. Once again, this is simple enough to be easy for new and occasional players to remember and yet still has scope enough to give more experienced players room for manoeuvre.
The appearance of the game is everything we have come to expect from Chris's game kits and there are lots of clever play-aids to remind you of what you need to do at various points and to give you key information. It is all very impressive and it plays in under three hours. Recommended to all 18xx fans and also to those who like the idea of 18xx but who are put off most of the other games in the series either by the time they take to play or by the feeling that unless you have been to an intensive course on how to play, it is dangerous even to sit down.

Whenever the Kardashians go on The Tonight Show, I feel like they're at Uncle Jay's house for dinner. Leno totally loves them. New mom (and blond) Kim stopped by to spend some time with her unc last night (albeit in a getup I don't think any of us wear to our relative's house), and boy, was she in a chatty mood. Here are your vital Kimmy takeaways:
If you were wondering how she didn't figure out she was getting proposed to: Kanye, who rode to AT&T Park with her in the car, made her close her eyes from the time they drove up until she was standing in the middle of the field.
I'm not saying the proposal was a letdown, but it's kind of funny what Kim's initial reaction was: "My favorite Lana Del Rey song started playing...I thought he got Lana to come out and perform for me on my birthday."
Here's the ring in motion, BTW:
On the wedding, and Kanye definitely being the planner-in-chief: "He definitely knows what he wants, and I want him to have whatever he wants...we're hoping for next summer." She also said it'll definitely be a destination wedding—maybe Italy, where North was, ah, conceived. 'Course, you already knew some of this.
On changing her name: She thinks she'll go by Kim Kardashian West. "My daughter has the last name West, and we're a family."
On North: "She is honestly the sweetest little girl. She is so sweet, she never cries, she is a perfect little angel. I hope she grows up to be really opinionated and smart like her dad." Well, now I feel sad because I feel like she sold herself short.
On Kanye not being on much of KUWTK season nine, which they're shooting now: "You can't have someone on if they don't want to be on all the time."
On losing 50 pounds: "It was the hardest challenge of my life. I did the Atkins diet.... In college, I would try every single diet with my dad.... We would cook together and that was our bonding time."
On the Khloe and Lamar sitch (pretty much the only thing she was tight-lipped on): "She's doing really good."
On Bruce and Kris separating: This is sorta confusing. Jay asked if they're living apart, and Kim said, "They are, and it is for the better, in the best way. I think they are better living in two separate homes. It works." Then Jay said, "But they're staying together?" And she replied, "For right now they are. They get along better...they're better friends now." Mmkay.
On all the ridiculous tabloid fat-shaming that went on when she was, for crying out loud, pregnant: "It hurt my soul...I've tried to live more of a private life because of that, because they were so nasty."
And on her sexy Instagram: "This is my middle finger to the world on everyone who called me fat."
You can watch more of Kim 'n' Jay below...

The alarm came early-- 7:30 a.m. But I was ready for it on this day. Once the school year gets going and I get home from work around midnight, it's a pretty tough wake up call. The kids all got out to the bus stop a little early today, not just because it was the first day of school, but because there were a few first-timers in the neighborhood today. Three little ones were ready to board the bus for the first time and head to kindergarten. My oldest, Leah, is a seasoned vet going into 3rd grade and was promptly at the front of the line. First time kids means first-time parents and lots of video cameras. We snapped some pictures and took some video-- yes, even I couldn't resist. The kids were troopers, genuinely excited about getting on the bus without Mom and Dad, but the life-givers shed a few tears as the bus pulled away. That's where me and my big mouth chimed in. To one misty-eyed parent I called out: "I think I just heard him say, 'M-o-o-o-o-o-m!'" We're friends and I was kidding, but I think I ruined the moment. However, a little later-- as my wife likes to say-- God punished me.
You see, my youngest, A.J. (pictured) also started school today, but she wasn't at the bus stop. She was fast asleep in her bed, because she is going in the afternoon session. She woke up, came downstairs with her hands in the air and a little smile. I asked her what her deal was and she paused before answering in melody, "I start school toda-a-a-a-y." To say she was excited was an understatement. She got her shoes on and her backpack strapped up and paced around the house for two hours asking 'when will it be time for school.' Finally, it was. I loaded her up, grabbed the camera and the tissue for what I thought would be the "Daddy, don't leave me" moment. Of course, I thought my daughter couldn't go into a new classroom with teachers she didn't know and students she hadn't met without her knight in shining armor... me. I was wrong. I let her do the march into the school-- all on video tape-- and into the classroom where I was an after-thought. Backpack in the locker... check. Find nametag... check. Find seat... check. Say goodbye to Daddy... I said, say goodbye to Daddy. Hello????? "Oh, yeah. Bye, Dad." Not only was my baby ready for her next challenge, she didn't need me to hold her hand in any way. That, and not her fears, was what brought the tears to my eyes as I stepped out and made the long walk down the hall.
I think I could've used the last-second glance and smile that the other parents got at the bus stop.

What is inflammatory bowel disease?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic disorders that affect one to two million people in the United States. Characterized by swollen and damaged tissues in the lining of the intestinal tract, these conditions vary in severity from person to person and change over time. Periods of active disease may alternate with periods of remission. During a flare-up, a person may experience frequent bouts of watery and/or bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. Between these flare-ups, symptoms frequently diminish. Many people may go through extended periods of remission between flare-ups.
The cause of IBD is not known, but these diseases are thought to be due to an autoimmune process that has been triggered by a genetic predisposition, a viral illness, and/or an environmental factor. IBD affects both sexes equally and is seen most frequently in Caucasians who live in industrialized countries. The most common inflammatory bowel diseases are Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Either may affect anyone at any age, but the majority of cases are first diagnosed in people 15 to 35 years of age, and a smaller number of cases diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70. In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms, children affected by CD or UC may experience delayed development and growth retardation. Those who are diagnosed with one of these conditions at a young age are also at an increased risk of developing colon cancer later in life.
Crohns disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus but is primarily found in the last part of the small intestine (the ileum) and/or in the colon (large intestine or bowel). With CD, affected bowel tissue may be in patches with normal tissue in between. Inflammation may penetrate deep into the tissues of the intestines/colon and form ulcers or fistulas, tunnels through the intestines that allow waste material to move into other areas. Other complications of CD may include bowel obstructions, anemia from bleeding tissues, and infections. According to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, about two-thirds to three-quarters of those with Crohns disease will eventually require surgery, either to remove damaged sections of the intestines/colon or to treat an obstruction or fistula.
Ulcerative colitis primarily affects the surface lining of the colon. Although the symptoms may be similar to those seen with CD, the tissue inflammation caused by UC is continuous, not patchy, and usually starts from the anus and moves up the colon. UC tends to present more frequently with bloody diarrhea. The most serious complication of UC is toxic megacolon, a relatively rare acute condition in which a section of the colon becomes essentially paralyzed. Waste does not move through the section; it accumulates and dilates the colon. This can cause abdominal pain, fever, and weakness and can become life-threatening if left untreated.

One Love: Creating a Choir at Citigroup
How much do you want to see a banker sing? What about if an eclectic group of bankers and staff from, say, a big U.S. bank in London were to take up the challenge of creating a workplace choir and air it on U.K. national TV?
You might just be in luck.
"The Choir" is a difficult television show to describe to those who haven't seen it. Think "Glee" combined with "The Office" and presented by Harry Potter brandishing a conductor's baton instead of a wand and you'll be part way there. And its latest project: creating choral gold at Citigroup.
Here's the video to prove it:
Next Monday night's episode of the long-running series will chronicle attempts by staff from the U.S bank's London offices in Canary Wharf to be crowned workplace choir of the year.
You can understand why the filmmakers jumped at the chance to take their cameras on to the trading floors of one of the world's largest banks. But what was in it for Citigroup? Why did the bank agree to subject itself to the surprisingly iron will of choirmaster Gareth Malone (here's the Harry Potter lookalike), the keen ears of the judges and the prying eyes of the whole world?
James Bardrick, the co-head of European banking, one of the main champions of the project at Citigroup and a tenor in the choir, said that there were "a few raised eyebrows" at the bank's decision to participate. But he said it seemed like a good way of building on the momentum created by the bank's bicentennial celebrations last year and "tapped into the real need our people have to feel good about what they do".
"The Choir was an amazing experience," said Virginia Laird, Citigroup's chief administrative officer for markets in EMEA. "I can truly say that these 21 people are like my best friends now. We just had such a laugh."
Chika Anajemba, an assistant vice-president at the bank, said: "We have a[n email] distribution list that has all of the choir members on it. And we have tons of emails going back and forth every day. Sometimes it is hard to get work done!"
Singing for their colleagues in the bank's own 16-floor high atrium was a particular highlight. "It was a lovely moment," said David Poole, Citigroup's head of U.K. private banking. "It brought the building alive. When I've long retired from the City, I'm sure I'll remember those moments when we filled [this] space in Canary Wharf with some sound. Whether it was good sound or not we'll have to wait and see."
Here's more on the background behind the show over on WSJ.com. The full program will air on BBC2 in the U.K. on Monday December 2.
