The Jevons Paradox suggests that when technological advances increase efficiency of a resource, it results in an overall increase in consumption. Writing on the increased use of coal as a result of technological improvements, 19th-century economist William Stanley Jevons found that these improvements led to the development of new ways to utilize coal. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Mark Thiele, Chief Strategy Officer for Apcera, will compare the Jevons Paradox to modern-day enterprise IT, e...

Complete Internet of Things (IoT) embedded device security is not just about the device but involves the entire product's identity, data and control integrity, and services traversing the cloud. A device can no longer be looked at as an island; it is a part of a system. In fact, given the cross-domain interactions enabled by IoT it could be a part of many systems. Also, depending on where the device is deployed, for example, in the office building versus a factory floor or oil field, security ha...

eBay Listing Application Using Amazon API and eBay File exchange
This project received 18 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $694 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Skills Required
Project Budget$250 - $750 USD
Total Bids18
Project Description
I want to build a tool that uses Amazon Product Advertising API to obtain product information from a specified list of ASIN codes (input) and creates csv files that are formatted to use with eBay file exchange so users can easily list products found on Amazon in their eBay stores (should export csv file). The tool should also enable the user to manage their listings daily by calling on the Amazon API and retrieving the current prices and availability. Instead of using eBay API I want to use eBay file exchange which is basically a method eBay uses to upload formatted csv files. The reason I want to use this is because it is much faster and you don't have to worry about hitting call limits. This should be a simple project for someone with Amazon API, microsoft excel, gui design, and software development experience. I have attached a wireframe of the concept I am looking for. Also, I have the hard parts of the programming already completed including the Amazon API part for obtaining the listing details. I am looking for someone that can take what I have and make it into a great looking product that works so anyone can use it. if awarded i will provide examples of sample csv formats needed to generate the ebay file exchange files.

Once upon a time, I had a medical conundrum. I bravely attempted to spear it with ignorance but that only fanned the flames, so I traded my armor for a thin paper gown and spread my jigsaw puzzle before an army of raised eyebrows with Ivy League diplomas. They said "Hmmm" and scratched their heads as if attempting to shake out The Answer like dandruff while I squirmed on the exam table with iceberg feet and sinking hope.
Save. Our. Ship.
I fired a flare toward the heavens but the White-Bearded Man couldn't see through the smog or my Atheist convictions so it landed in the lap of the great-and-terrible Pharmaceutical King, who blew smoke up my ass with a condescending smile and a Magical Elixir (with cancer-causing side effects). He said the pills would fix me. They didn't, but I clung to his Truth like the last remaining coconut on a shipwrecked isle.
Until one day I found a message in a bottle, penned in my own handwriting:
This is not a life-preserver – it's a noose.
I chucked my floaties and waded out into The Deep, past the bright orange buoys of traditional medicine and through the safety net of "covered by insurance." In the solitary silence of the wide open sea, I learned to listen to my body, to surrender my resistance, and to follow the path of undulating waves from the wake of my longing to the suffocating spirit tangled up in seaweed.
I gave her CPR and tried to say "I'm sorry" but she didn't understand so I swam back to shore and enrolled us in yoga. Brought her to dance. Slowly but surely she opened up to me – sometimes messy, always beautiful. I realized how much contraction I was holding, and that Pseudohypoaldosteronism was just another word for "all clogged up." Mind-body-spirit needed non-toxic Dran-o and several decades worth of love and acceptance.
A paradigm shift: the keys to the kingdom were in MY hands. In the land of Fast, Cheap 'n Easy, my healing quest has been anything but…and yet, for every dead end and misspent dollar, a puzzle piece fits and a new path appears, one that I know is finally, irreversibly, taking me Home.
Bonnie Solomon is a Los Angeles based writer and story consultant. If you can't find her at the yoga studio or on the dance floor, she's probably holed away in her favorite cafe working studiously (cough) on her Crazy Ambitious Novel. Contact her by e-mail.

I needed pads and they did not have any. Their computer does not hook up to uhaul and they have to call and have someone else process the order. Took about 45 minutes.
Service was excellent!!!
The facility was not open at the time I was scheduled to pick up my truck and none of my calls were answered. I had to contact UHaul customer service and waited an hour and a half for someone to show up. When she did show up there was no sense of urgency and no apology made for making me wait over an hour. I will probably never use uhaul again.
Eagle Self Storage was great in getting the truck we needed and was at their location when they said it would be! Easy to work with great people!

So many documents, so few being read carefully or even at all, sums up the typical closing of a house sale for a large number of buyers, real estate agents say.
"I have not seen a buyer read every document at closing since the mortgage and title industry went beyond four pages," said John Duffy, president of Duffy Real Estate on the Main Line.
"If the lender, agent, and title agents are doing their jobs, they should paraphrase each page and ask the buyers if they have questions."
These documents provide critical information about the transaction that, in many cases, comes as a complete surprise to consumers.

The present invention relates to image projection systems and, more particularly, to a novel video system for providing to at least one viewer a real image upon a projection screen.
There are now several arts in which a large screen display of information to at least one viewer is desirable; even more desirable is the ability to simultaneously display multiple sets of different information upon a single viewing screen, either with all sets being viewable by a single individual or with each set being viewable by a different individual. In uses such as flight and vehicle combat simulators, a distortionless display, whether for one or several viewers, is desired so as to provide the realism necessary for best learning results. If several persons are simultaneously involved, the individuals are usually relative close together, in seating having fixed locations to the vehicle windows through which the visual information will be seen. It is then desirable to provide a display system in which each different viewer can observe a singular image on a projection screen surface where multiple images are being projected simultaneously; this system will present appropriate imagery to a specific observation volume without visually interfering with other imagery specifically intended to be observed from another viewing volume. This allows, for example, a pilot and copilot seated in a flight simulator to simultaneously observe geometrically corrected images on a common projection screen without parallax errors inherently introduced by pilot/copilot offset distances. System cost and complexity can often be minimized by allowing multiple image-for-single observer use or single image-for-each of multiple observers use to occur on a common projection screen.
In accordance with the invention, an image projection system uses a projection screen formed over at least a portion of a spherical surface, with either a retroreflective or a directional-specific reflecting material, along with a beamsplitter and at least one lens-projector combination for each real image input to the screen. A plurality of input images may be used, either with each of plural different images provided to a different area of the screen for providing juxtaposed real images to a single observer, or with each of the plural different real images being provided to a different observer. A non-spherical screen may be used if a retroreflective screen material is used in a system for providing simultaneous real images to spatially-separated plural observers.
In presently preferred embodiments, the reflector material has a non-zero optical gain only over a small viewing cone centered about the reflected ray from the screen surface. The screen is formed of retro-reflective material, to alleviate stringent smoothness requirements, and each projector is aligned with a viewing-aperture-setting lens and a beamsplitter, with the viewing position being established at a location along a line substantially complementary to the source projection line through the associated beamsplitter.
The benefits and objects of our invention will now become apparent to those skilled in this art, upon reading the following detailed description of the present preferred embodiments of the invention, when considered in conjunction with the associated drawing FIGURES.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a first presently preferred projection system in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 1a is a graph illustrating the non-zero optical gain of the screen material only over a limited cone angle;
FIG. 2 is a top view of a presently preferred projection system embodiment for providing plural juxtaposed real images to a single observer from a common projection screen; and
FIG. 3 is a top view of a presently preferred projection system embodiment for providing simultaneous different real images to each of a plurality of observers from a common projection screen portion.
Referring initially to FIG. 1, a projection system 10 includes a relatively large screen 11 formed upon at least a portion of the interior surface of a substantially spherical cavity. An observer 12 is placed near to, although not necessarily at, the spherical surface center-of-curvature point 11c. A projection means 14, such as a video display monitor and the like, is located beyond an associated lens means 16, with respect to a beamsplitter means 18. A point, although not necessarily the mid-point, of the beamsplitter 18 is located substantially on the optical axis 11a between the observer O and the screen. The center of lens 16 is positioned along the reflected optical axis portion 11b, responsive to the beamsplitting action of means 18, and at a distance therefrom so that the image of the lens exit pupil is superimposed along the screen optical axis 11a at the observer O position, by action of beamsplitter 18. The lens exit pupil diameter P thus provides a real image over a viewing volume determined by a diameter V.
Referring to FIG. 1a, the screen 11 may be formed of any material having a high screen surface gain, given by curve 11g, over a range of screen cone, or bend, angles up to and including the angle α at which the screen gain falls to an average value Gav, as at points 11e and 11f. Thus, the effectiveness of the redirection of energy is a function of the projection screen surface characteristics. Under ideal conditions, a screen surface material would be chosen such that all of the reflected light energy is directed within a selected beamwidth determined by the required viewing volume or cone angle α. The distinguishing characteristic of the screen material must be that it reflects and diffuses incident light energy in a directionally controlled manner resembling the gain function 11g, so as to allow projected imagery to be viewed only within a specifically designed viewing volume. If the screen interior surface 11s is formed of a material similar to the Protolite material described by Mihalakis et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,241,980, or the like, a spherical screen 11 must be used; if the screen surface 11s is formed of a retro-reflective material (such as might comprise microscopic glass spheres embedded in a reflective substrate, such as material 1761 available from Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M) and the like) then both spherical and non-spherical surface 11s shapes may be used. As an example, a high-gain screen surface can be provided with an average gain Gav of 50 over bend angles up to α=7.1. Thus, the average bend angle is about 3.55, and a 6" aperture lens 16 can be imaged to an observer eyepoint 11c about 24" away from the screen surface 11s.
In this situation, with the lens and eyepoint both located at the screen center-of-curvature, the optical magnification is about 2.07. The brightness B of the center of the image, at the eyepoint, can be found from
B=(S*T1 *BSr *BSt *Gav)/(2*F#*(M+1))2
where S is the source brightness (say, 55 ft-Lamberts from a 7.5" diagonal CRT), T1 is the lens transmission ratio (say, 0.88 for the 6" diameter lens with an F# of 1.3, and therefore a focal length of 7.8"), BSr is the beamsplitter reflection coefficient (say, 0.50), BSt, is the beamsplitter transmission coefficient (say, 0.45), and M is the magnification. For the above situation, with Gav =50 and M=2.07, the eyepoint brightness is 8.55 ft-Lamberts.
If the viewing area V is defined by the volume edge where the brightness falls to 50% of the maximum brightness (at the view center), then this volume will also be equal to the volume where the average gain, returned to the viewer, falls to 50% of the viewer-returned center gain value. For the above illustrational system, the viewing volume radius can be found to be 4.5" in the vertical direction, so that V=9.0". Various ratios of horizontal and vertical dimensions of the viewing volume can be obtained by varying the high-gain screen surface characteristics. For example, if the above screen has a gain which falls substantially to zero at bend angles of 17.7, then the perceived display field-of-view would be about 22.5�30 with the 3:4 aspect ratio of the 7.5" diagonal CRT monitor as the image source.
Referring now to FIG. 2, in a somewhat similar system 20 each of N multiple real images from different ones of a like number N of separate sources 14i, where 1≦i≦N, can be juxtaposed together on a common screen 11' for viewing by the observer 12' situated near screen center of curvature point 11c'. Thus, a first source 14-1 operates with a first lens means 16-1 and a first portion 18a of a common beamsplitter means 18 to project a first real image towards the observer O'; a second source 14-2 operates with a second lens means 16-2 and a second portion 18b of the common beamsplitter means 18 to project a second real image towards the observer O'. With proper placement of the beamsplitter portions 18a/18b, the reflected axes 11b'-1/11b'-2 pass through the lens 16-1/16-2 from the sources 14-1/14-2 and the reflected real images will be juxtaposed adjacent to one another when viewed by observer O' near COC point 11c'.
It will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that this form of projection display system not only provides magnification of the image source picture size, with adequate brightness and viewing volume, but also allows a reduction in display envelope dimensions in the viewing direction, while providing a distortionless display due to the optical superposition of the lens pupil and viewer eyepoint. The juxtaposition of multiple real images, without gaps between adjacent images, is another benefit, although multiple source subsystems (source, lens and beamsplitter portions) are required. It will be understood that portions 18a and 18b can comprise a single beamsplitter, of appropriate shape and area, or can be separate beamsplitter elements.
Referring now to FIG. 3, in a system 30 a plurality M of different observers (say, an i-th observer Oi and a j-th observer Oj, where 1≦i≦j≦M) can each be provided with at least one individually viewable real display image, which is viewable only within a certain associated viewing volume (volume Vi for observer Oi or volume Vj for observer Oj) and is therefore not viewable by any of the other spatially-separated viewer, if a suitable minimum viewer spacing is maintained. The screen 32 can have a viewing surface 32a of any shape, if a retro-reflective material is used. Each source means 33 (e.g. first source means 33i or second source means 33j) uses its own display means 34 and beamsplitter means 36, with its lens means 38 interposed therebetween (e.g. first source 33i has a first display means 34i, first lens means 38i and first beamsplitter 36i, while second source 33j has a second display means 34j, second lens means 38j and second beamsplitter 36j). The lens pupil Pi /Pj size determines the viewing volume size Vi /Vj. The application of this method can be duplicated as many times as desired within the same spherical projection screen, provided spatial limitations of the projectors and observers are accounted for. Limitations of this projection approach are geometrically defined by the required offset distances between observers, and the corresponding desired screen bandwidth. Once an instantaneous observation point Ok of any one k-th observer overlaps into the zone of reflectance of another observer, the two images will begin to interfere with each other. By using several optical projection means 34 and accompanying beamsplitters 36, each with its own projection lens means 38, with the same retro-reflective surface, each image will only be returned back towards its origination source. This allows for each subsystem 33 to project and receive its own imagery regardless of what is being concurrently projected onto the same area of the retro-reflective screen.
Unfortunately, the helpful characteristic of retro-reflective screen material that returns light in the direction from which it came, also serves as a limitation because of the narrow viewing volume V in which it can be observed. To overcome this beamwidth limitation of the retro-reflective screen, the projection lens 38 can be designed with a large pupil P and placed appropriately in the optical path to enlarge the viewing volume as a function of something other than the beamwidth of the screen. This allows the advantages of the retro-reflective screen material to be obtained while simultaneously overcoming its limitations.
For the most effective approach, each projector subsystem 33i must be such that all imagery emanating from that i-th projector be from a single exit pupil Pi in the optical source. It will be understood that if a multiple-pupil source were to be used, such as a CRT-type projector with 3 exit pupils, the beamwidth characteristics of the screen material must be widened appropriately to account for the extreme exit pupil positions. A single-gun light-valve projector is a good example of a full color projector source with a single exit pupil in the projection optics ideally suited for this application. In theory, any projection display system which abides by the geometry and screen characteristics prescribed herein and consists of a single exit pupil projection subsystem as the lone source of imagery for each of the plurality of observers, is usable in this invention.
If a spherical projection screen structure is used, then the screen must be as close to spherical in shape as possible given practical manufacturing limitations. Any deviation resulting in a screen tangent slope error must be accounted for in the determination of screen material beamwidth. In a theoretical case where the spherical projection screen is of perfect shape and the observation volume is reduced to a point, the screen material bandwidth can be reduced so that the reflective characteristics is like that of a mirror. The screen material must be reflective and diffuse to the degree necessary as determined by the system geometry and required viewing volume. Several materials have been previously developed to directionally control incident light reflectance. These range from specialized paints to minutely embedded concave/convex shapes in a highly reflective material. For optimum performance and maximizing usable viewing areas, the beamwidth of the screen material must be determined by the sum of the required viewing volume in addition to the slope error of the projection screen itself. The screen material best suited for this application is one which has a screen gain exhibiting a relatively flat peak and a decisive cutoff, typically referred to as a "top hat" function.
If a projection screen material with direction reflectance properties is used, then simultaneous viewing of different information by different observers of a single screen must utilize a specific system geometry: a spherical-shaped projection screen is used with single-exit-pupil projection means as an imagery source for each observer. The beamsplitter may be eliminated, if observer and projector can be placed at conjugate points relative to the spherical projection screen center of curvature, so that the chief ray emitted from the projector is redirected back towards only the associated viewer, and the other viewers receive little or no light from the non-associated projectors.
While several presently preferred embodiments of our novel multiple observer/common projection screen system have been described in detail herein, many variations and modifications will now occur to those skilled in the art. It is our intent, therefore, to be limited only by the scope of the appending claims, and not by way of the details and instrumentalities described with respect to these embodiments.

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
President-elect Barack Obama's proposed plan for an eight-team playoff in college football was welcomed by many coaches around the country.
But not everybody is on board with Obama's plan.
"I think he ought to call us so the head coaches can figure out how to get the price of gas down," said Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino, adding that he was kidding.
Petrino is serious, though, about not wanting to see a college playoff.
"I think it's a good system now," Petrino said. "We play a lot of games and miss a lot of school and do a lot of extra things to make sure we keep our players eligible. It's not something I believe in."
South Carolina's Steve Spurrier couldn't disagree more. He's all for a playoff and thinks Obama's influence could make a difference.
"We have playoffs in every sport in the world, I think, except for college football," Spurrier said. "I used to say: How can we be right and everybody else wrong? I just think with the president pushing it, that something certainly could happen."

KLIATTBy now, these volumes are an annual tradition in my junior high library with the SF crowd, and students who have moved on to high school offer their input too. As always, we don't necessarily agree with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, but the book makes a great piece for reader's advisory, interlibrary loan ideas, and author/book discussion. This year is no exception. Richard Chwedyk's "Bronte's Egg" got a "way cool" response, while Ted Chiang's "Hell is the Absence of God" was deemed too complicated by most of my junior high readers, although the senior high kids thought it was "edgy." Probably one of the best uses of SF funds in any given year.

Oscar nominee Lupita Nyong'o on how she 'prayed for lighter skin' as a child before Hollywood success brought new confidence
Lupita Nyong'o gave an inspirational speech at Essence's Black Women in Hollywood event on Thursday about how conventional standards of beauty once affected her self-esteem.
The Academy Award nominee was given the Best Breakthrough Performance Award for her role in 12 Years a Slave at the 7th annual luncheon event.
She accepted the award with an impassioned speech about mainstream beauty standards and how they had shaped her and her mentality towards her life.

Influential: In a recent speech, Miss Nyong'o read out loud a letter from a fan who said she decided not to buy Dencia's skin-whitening cream Whitenicious because the actress had inspired her to love her own skin
The 30-year old started her speech by reading a letter written to her by a young girl who viewed her as a role model.
'Dear Lupita,' it reads. 'I think you're really lucky to be this Black but yet this successful in Hollywood overnight. I was just about to buy Dencia's Whitenicious cream to lighten my skin when you appeared on the world map and saved me.'
'My heart bled a little when I read those words,' the actress said.
White hot! The star sported a snow white top featuring a mash up of letters and a skirt that ended mid-calf, both of which contrasted strikingly against her dark skin tone
The Mexico City-born actress told the audience how when she was younger she had struggled with conventional beauty standards and how she got 'teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin.'
She spoke about how she would ask God to lighten her skin.
'And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned," she said.
The Mexico City-born actress told the audience how when she was younger she had struggled with conventional beauty standards and how she got 'teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin'
'The morning would come and I would be so excited about seeing my new skin that I would refuse to look down at myself until I was in front of a mirror because I wanted to see my fair face first. And every day I experienced the same disappointment of being just as dark as I was the day before.'
The Yale graduate said that her 'self-hate grew worse' when she became a teenager. She could not be appeased by her mother's assurances that she was beautiful.
Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, she spoke about what deeply affected her outlook was finding a role model in popular culture who looked similar - and that was supermodel Alek Wek.
Personal taste: 'I like to wear things, I don't like things to wear me. I don't like fuss!' Lupita has said about her fashion sensibilities
'A celebrated model, she was dark as night, she was on all of the runways and in every magazine and everyone was talking about how beautiful she was,' Nyong'o said.
'Even Oprah called her beautiful and that made it a fact. I couldn't believe that people were embracing a woman who looked so much like me as beautiful.'
'My complexion had always been an obstacle to overcome and all of a sudden Oprah was telling me it wasn't.'
Inspiration: Nyong'o spoke about what changed her outlook was finding a role model in popular culture who looked similar and that was supermodel Alek Wek
'When I saw Alek I inadvertently saw a reflection of myself that I could not deny,' she said.
'Now, I had a spring in my step because I felt more seen, more appreciated by the far away gatekeepers of beauty.'
After the event, the actress shared an Instagram photo of herself with her mother at the Essence luncheon, along with the caption, "Mother-Daughter #Selfie. I am because she is."
Family: After the event, the actress shared an Instagram photo of herself with her mother with the caption, 'Mother-Daughter #Selfie. I am because she is'

Jacques loses bid to limit testimonyJanuary 07,2013Staff Report
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday it will not review a decision by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in the case against Michael Jacques, who is accused of sexually assaulting and killing his 12-year-old niece in 2008.
The appeals court had said a jury could hear about allegations that Jacques schemed to shift blame for the killing onto a fictitious sex ring. His lawyers asked the high court to reverse that decision.
If convicted, Jacques faces the death penalty for abducting and killing Brooke Bennett. His trial is tentatively set for September.MORE IN This Just InKILLINGTON Police are waiting for the results of an autopsy of a 30-year-old woman who was... Full Story

BOSTON -- John Lackey isn't always the most dominant pitcher, or the most graceful. Lately, however, it hasn't mattered; the big right-hander is getting results.
Lackey labored through 115 pitches in only six innings of work on Saturday afternoon, but allowed just three earned runs and six hits while striking out five. He left the game with a commanding 7-3 lead, earning his 10th win of the season and his fifth straight decision dating back to July 9.
"I take pride in those kinds of games," said Lackey afterward. "Its a grinder. When you got to grind through, it's not always pretty, but at the end of the day if you win, it doesn't much matter."
Taking the loss was Yankees ace CC Sabathia, who entered Saturday afternoon's contest having surrendered only seven earned runs in his last eight starts.
Lackey put on an impressive performance through the first three innings against the potent New York lineup, allowing only two base runners while striking out Yankee captain Derek Jeter twice.
The Yankees finally got to Lackey in the fourth frame when Curtis Granderson led off with a single to right field. After catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia's throwing error on a Granderson steal attempt allowed the Yankee center fielder to advance to third, Lackey walked Mark Teixeira and drilled Robinson Cano in the foot to load the bases with nobody out.
Given the circumstances, Lackey escaped the jam relatively unscathed. He got Nick Swisher to ground into a double play that plated Granderson, then allowed only one more run on an Eric Chavez RBI single.
"The first one [to Swisher], I got the ground ball for the double play, and would've really liked to make a better pitch to Chavez," said Lackey of his fourth-inning troubles. "I had him two strikes and hung a breaking ball that cost me a run."
Lackey threw 35 pitches in the inning, but kept the Sox within striking distance. Boston had scored two runs in the bottom half of the third on a Jacoby Ellsbury sacrifice fly and a Dustin Pedroia double, so the Boston pitcher exited the top of the fourth with the score knotted at 2. Boston promptly scored five runs in the bottom of the frame, giving Lackey a comfortable 7-2 advantage.
"In 35 pitches, he really limited damage, which was good," said manager Terry Francona after the game. "His pitch count got up in a hurry, and he was still able to go out after that. He used his change-up, used his breaking ball, and, again, only let them have two. That was big."
Lackey appeared to be out of gas as he entered the fifth. He gave up a leadoff hit to Francisco Cervilli, hit Brett Gardner with a pitch, and surrendered an RBI single to Derek Jeter to start the inning. In an impressive show of resilience, though, Lackey struck out Yankee sluggers Granderson and Teixeira before inducing a ground-out from Robinson Cano to end the inning.
"They make you grind," said Lackey of the Yankees. "They're a lot like our lineup. Can't make mistakes, and it's kind of a thin line you cross. You want to throw strikes, but you can't just throw any strike."
Lackey proved he could handle the grind on Saturday. With the victory, the Sox hurler is now 3-0 in his last three starts against New York dating back to October of last year.

UBM confirmed that the IT chief has left the post but the firm said that a replacement has not yet been appointed, and declined to make any comments about the reasons for Devin's departure. Devine did not respond to requests for comment either.
The IT executive will now be focusing on short-term interim management.
This time last year, Devine moved on from his previous role of UK chief technology officer at directory firm Yell, where he worked for a couple of years, to take on the group CIO job at UBM.
Prior to that, Devine was engaged with a number of consulting assignments off the back of his experience in online gambling - he led the IT team at betting exchange Betfair for four years - one of which being a seven-month assignment supporting the CIO at gambling firm Bwin.
