BMI View: We hold an upbeat view on the Mauritanian economy believing th at structural improvements and a strong outlook for the mining sector will keep real GDP growth in the 5.0-6.0% range over the coming years. The banking sector is well-capitalised but will need to take measures to aggressively grow the deposit base if it is to benefit from the positive economic outlook. The major risks to the economy stem from lack of progress at addressing deficient infrastructure , and security challenges in neighbouring Mali.
The Mauritanian economy proved resilient in 2012 when real GDP expanded by an estimated 6.4% in spite of headwinds for the sectors which make up the lion's share of output. Indeed, given that the economy is dominated by natural resources (iron ore in particular) which are exported to softening economies in Asia and Europe, and agriculture, which was impacted by poor weather in the early months of the year, headline economic growth in excess of the 5.2% annual average of the ten years between 2002 and 2011 is a positive indication of a diversifying economy.
|Mining Exports And And Exports Dominate
|Mauritania - Breakdown Of 2011 Nominal GDP By Sector & Expenditure Component, %
Underpinning the strong performance was a broad structural improvement. Inflation has fallen from 6.8% y-o-y in February 2012 to 2.7% y-o-y in February 2013 while the IMF reported that the country would record its first fiscal surplus (including grants) in recent history in 2012 (official data are not yet available) thanks to enhanced revenue collection, prudent spending and increased foreign assistance. Against this backdrop, the government was able to allocate resources to construction and other public investments which was an important contributor to headline expansion in 2012.
|Strong Economic Growth Ahead After Decade Of Volatility
|Mauritania - Real GDP Growth, % y-o-y
Looking ahead, these positive structural developments set the economy up to continue expanding at around 5.0-6.0% y-o-y over the coming years. Continued fiscal prudence will allow the government to expand infrastructure spending which is a requirement for further productivity gains. It will also prevent public borrowing from crowding out the private sector. Lower inflation, meanwhile, will increase consumers' purchasing power and drive demand for goods and services. Added to this, our mining team is cautiously upbeat on the prospects for the mining sector over the coming years believing that iron ore output will expand by an average of 7.8% annually between 2013 and 2017 to reach 17.4 million tonnes by the end of that forecast period. At the same time, investment in gold and copper projects will also provide a boost to the sector.
Infrastructure And Political Risk Challenges
The main risks to this broadly upbeat view on the mining sector, and the economy as a whole, stem from a lack of infrastructure and political risk. With regard to the former, the poor state of the electricity sector continues to harm mining activity. The movement of goods in and out of Mauritania is also a key problem for investors. The only major port, Nouakchott, has severe capacity constraints, preventing efficient shipping of exports. There has been some progress with the World Bank, IMF and the African Development Bank having announced projects totalling US$4.2bn on developing the country's infrastructure. Further investment plans include more than 1,300km of new roads, intended to help the transport flows to and from key mining areas. Although these projects would represent a boost to the economy, caution is warranted, as there is far more that needs to be done to improve the country's infrastructure.
On the issue of political risk, Mauritania shares a vast border with Mali where Islamist and Tuareg fighters captured large swathes of northern territory from the government in early 2012. The government, backed by French troops, has made some progress at regaining control of these areas, however the situation remains tense and we believe that the success of ongoing reconciliation efforts is far from guaranteed. Although major mines and other sources of Mauritanian economic activity are situated relatively far from northern Mali, we note that a general perception of security risk is likely to weigh on Mauritania's prospects, especially if the situation in Mali deteriorates.
Banking Sector Focus
Mauritania's banking sector was a conspicuous absentee from the strong headline economic growth of 2012. Indeed, total deposits as a percentage of GDP stood at 23.0% in September 2012 down from above 25.0% in early 2010. Credit extended to the private sector has seen an even greater decline having fallen from 32.0% of GDP in 2010 to reach 24.6% in September 2012.
|Banking Sector Lagging
|Mauritania - Banking Sector Deposits And Outstanding Credit (RHS)
The aggregate banking sector balance sheet is in a relatively healthy state with tier one capital making up a solid 34.1% of risk weighted assets in April 2012 (the minimum capital requirement is 10.0%). However, further asset growth will depend on the 13 banks which comprise the sector increasing their deposit bases. Indeed, the loan to deposit ratio is above 1.0 and has been since our records began in early 2008.
|Deposit Growth Needed For Further Credit Expansion
|Mauritania - Loan To Deposit Ratio
Mobilisation of deposits will provide banks with the funds to increase loan books, which will not only improve their profitability, but will also drive economic growth as the private sector borrows for consumption and investment.

Does Macroeconomics Help Us To Understand the Term Structure of Interest Rates?
The expectations model of the term structure states that the yields to maturity of long-term bonds are equal to the average of expected future short-term bond yields. This venerable model has been subjected to numerous empirical tests and almost invariably rejected. The empirical failure is generally attributed either to systematic expectations errors, or to shifts in the risk premia. In fact, the empirical tests, based on the estimation of single-equation models, are not able to discriminate between these two hypotheses. A recent strand of the macro-economic literature has analysed monetary policy by including the central bank reaction function is small empirical macro models. By simulating these models forward it is possible to derive the full forward path of short-term interest rates and hence to construct any long-term interest rate consistent with the expectations model. A direct test of the theory, based on full information, can then be immediately constructed by comparing observed long-term rates with the simulated ones and the associated 95% confidence interval. This is what we do in this Paper. Our results shed new light on the empirical validity of the expectations model.

- League of Legends BIGGEST FLAW

Server stability

For me, the BIGGEST FLAW in League of Legends is that you have to rely on others to achieve success.
I've played soo many games now that I pretty much know the game inside and out. I do enjoy League of Legends when there's solid competition and everyone is playing up to par. However, it's heart-breaking when you load up a game with good intentions only to find three of your teammates combine for 0/12/3 within the first 10 minutes of the game. Then when you try to correct or offer advice to your feeding teammates you're met with troll rage and negativity.
Hopefully the Tribunal will fix things soon enough, but still for me it's quite frustrating that for these types of games you must rely on complete strangers at times to be successful.
I know I can stop playing, and for the most part I have. Just wanted to query the population on this.

Granted teamwork and relying on others is part of the beauty and fun of LoL, it's also it's worst flaw at the same time. A classic double-edged sword.
I think maybe because LoL is so 'pick up and play' ready that it gives players the safety of locking in, then if things don't go their way in 10 minutes they just rage and cause destruction within their game. They know they can do this and get away with it easily because 1) prior reporting didn't work 2) they'll likely never see their teammates again and 3) even if they do get punished they can simply create another account.
Compare these dynamics to something like WoW. In WoW you can't really do Arena without a partner/team. In order to find said partner/team you have to search them out, review their history and test out their skills. If you started playing with them and things went bad, sure you can just quit. However, if you ragequit or cause instant losses then your reputation on server is shot and you'll be hard-pressed to play again in those realms w/o a server transfer. You can't just make another account unless you want to level up again and pay another $15/month for a sub.
Idk, just talking about the game. It'd be nice if the trolls stayed out of this thread and real discussions could be had, but then again this is the LoL board.

Don't get me wrong I think team oriented goals and achievements are the best aspects of gaming. There's no better feeling to me when you accomplish a group effort.
It's just that I think maybe in LoL's case, there's not enough responsibility placed on the individual player in that there's nothing to lose regardless of your actions. This type of loose atmosphere does nothing but encourage horrible culture in the game's community.

- Observer mode still not available
CactusDude 5 years ago#8
Nothing to lose? If you individually do poorly you damage your team, which can have snowball effects. That is in every aspect, from map awareness to gamesense to personal execution to judgement calls. If you lose a match you get half the IP reward. If you get reported you'll eventually end up on the chopping block. If you troll you run the risk of meeting someone who is just gonna smack you down.
EDIT: That's just normal que too. Doing bad in ranked means you lose ELO, and having crap ELO really don't do much for one's "reputation"
Asking people to care about a game if nothing in the game matters to them is impossible. There's no flaw in League that has to do with that that isn't present in every video game. If you have a problem with randoms being pub quality, get/make a team. Simple and easy. Coming to the League board and listing things you think might be a BIGGEST FLAW then following up with some wishy washy nonsense about players just makes you look like a troll.
GT: Cactusguy. Hakumen player
wow...he plays a game which has teams...then complains about it being a flaw?
yeah...just go play solo warcraft3 or somethin
The biggest, glaring flaw in League at the moment is the fact they're too ****ing lazy to mirror Summoner's Rift so Purple doesn't get screwed over on skillshot harass.

The number of blogs, news articles, television and radio reports, dealing with the exploding bed bug epidemic is growing almost as rapidly as the bed bug population itself. The common bed bug, Cimex, lectularius is proving to be an intimidating and formidable enemy. Many of the reports I see tout the latest and most innovative approaches to eradicating these pests from structures and modes of transportation. To be sure, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well when it comes to bed bug control. There are many measures such as heat and cold, bug sniffing dogs, traps, and steam being used to combat this pest. In spite of all the resources being thrown at the problem, it continues to increase at an alarming pace. We're in a war and the bugs are winning! The problem, in my estimation is that there are currently no reliable, long-term residual measures available to prevent infestation or re-infestation, beyond individual diligence and vigilance. Because there are no adequate prevention methods currently available, an infestation can be removed from a location one day and a new one can start the next day. In reality, all it takes to create this scenario is someone entering the building with one fertile female bed bug in his or her belongings or clothing. There is literally no way to stop it and when it happens, the whole process starts all over again.
If the bed bug epidemic continues to grow at an exponential rate and becomes a pandemic, literally millions of homes, businesses, modes of transportation, etc. will be affected and require bed bug control. With this in mind, here are some questions for environmentalists and all of us, to consider: When all of these places are treated, items that can't be treated, such as computers, televisions, radios and other electronic devices must be discarded. Clothes must be laundered in hot water or dry-cleaned. In many cases mattresses must be thrown away. So must carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture and other household items. When you get right down to it, as the infestation reaches pandemic proportions throughout the country we will be spending billions of dollars, wasting huge amounts of resources and massively increasing our waste stream. What effect is all of this going to have on our environment? How much demand will be placed on our natural resources because of the need to replace lost household belongings? How much more electricity and gas will be required to heat homes in excess of 130 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours to eradicate the bugs and what impact will it have? And then there's all the laundering of clothes in hot water and drying at high temperatures, dry cleaning of items that can't be washed and the discarding and replacement of clothing that can't be dry cleaned or hot washed & dried. Think about it. As this infestation continues to increase exponentially so will the demand for the resources needed to combat it in millions of locations. These actions will necessarily have an impact on our environment. For all who are convinced that climate change is an issue, do you think all of this will impact the levels of CO2 and other green house gases in our atmosphere? It seems that, no matter what approach we take to the bed bug issue, we impact the environment. Perhaps in terms of total ecological impact and in the interest of gaining the upper hand, we would be better off temporarily returning to some of the older, more effective treatment methods, excluding DDT, until suitable substitutes are developed. Chemicals are not the entire answer however they can be important assets in this war on misery. My suggestion is that we allow the use of older materials for this specific problem and rotate their use to reduce the resistance factor. But then again, the self-anointed guardians of our environment may be more comfortable with avoiding chemicals, at all costs and letting us simply go back the normal and natural state of humans throughout our history. That state is one of being parasite-infested and miserable. Strictly speaking, if the main concern is the environment, this would be the most environment-friendly and ecologically sound approach. Wouldn't it?

Technique and condition
The painting is in oil on plain-woven, linen canvas. It has a late-twentieth-century lining, the canvas a synthetic fibre and the adhesive a waxy synthetic resin. The pine stretcher is not the original; it is slightly too small for the image and has been extended to fit with a wooden batten on the left edge.
The ground is white, thin and smooth, probably a commercial priming. The paint was applied with vigourous brushwork, thin in the dark background and costume, thick in the light areas. Apart from minor drying cracks around the sitter's right hand, the paint is in very good condition. The varnish is a modern synthetic resin. A label on the back says that it was cleaned, restored and revarnished in 1976, name of firm supplied.

Unlocked iPhone and Apple Store Swap
I bought a third-party unlock for my iPhone 5 and expect to be unlocked in the next day or so (Rogers phones seem to take a little longer than others). Now if I have an issue with my phone in say a couple months and need to go the Apple Store, will they replace my phone with an unlocked one? Or will they give me a Rogers locked replacement? I'm hoping that the replacement would be based on the fact that the IMEI of the original phone is on the whitelist, and the replacement would be unlocked as well, but I'm hoping somebody has experience with this.

Unlocked iPhone and Apple Store Swap
I would think that to the store, how it go unlocked wouldn't matter. They would only look up the IMEI to see if it was on the whitelist. I'm hoping that I won't have to find out, but I do have that annoying rattle from the camera area....

The Guardian, By Terry Macalister, December 7
BP is to spend $100m (£62m) over the next five years in an attempt to find more oil using what it claims is the world's largest supercomputer for commercial research, with a memory equivalent to nearly 150,000 iPods.
A new "high-performance computing centre", which will boast 536 terabytes of memory, will open next summer at the firm's US headquarters in Houston. The centre will eventually see 5,000 computers and 67,000 central processing units hooked up together.
BP said the new equipment will be able to perform 2,000 trillion calculations a second and will cut the time taken to perform the imaging of subsea rock formations from four years to 24 hours.
BP said it would test 15 new oil and gas prospects globally between 2012 and 2015. About 35 of its exploration wells will target reserves with more than a quarter of a billion barrels of oil equivalent each. BP is determined to concentrate on oil for the bulk of its output, while Shell is committed to gas for half its overall production.
Asked by analysts what impact the focus on crude might have on carbon emissions, Dudley said: "We like black oil … our job is to get the company back on its feet for shareholders. Computers appear to be as much part of that strategy as rigs and refineries."

WordCamp Miami is back for another year on Feb. 19-21, with an expanded lineup of content, a Kids' Workshop and more. Organizer David Bisset gives us the lowdown:
What WordCamps Are: WordCamps (wordcamp.org) are conferences that focuses on everything WordPress, which is open-source software that currently makes up 25% of the top million website of the web. Most weeks out of the year a WordCamp is happening somewhere in the world. From the United States to Europe, to places throughout Asia and Australia.
WordCamp Miami: WordCamp Miami has been an annual event in South Florida for the past 8 years. It's grown from a 150 person event from its first year to over 770 attendees in 2015. The scope of the event has also grown in that time to not only include talks specifically on WordPress but also blogging, content creation, SEO, designing, marketing, and developer related topics. It's been on of the longest running non-profit tech conferences in South Florida.
The 8th annual WordCamp Miami is happening next month - February 19-21 - at Florida International University. It has a full schedule lined up for everyone from those wanting to learn WordPress for the first time to those who are already skilled at developing with it.
Here are some of the highlights:
* If you've never used WordPress and want to learn, a full-day workshop is available on Friday February 19th. The class is limited to 100 individuals so that the instructors can take you step by step from learning hosting basics to being able to customize a basic WordPress site of your own.
* If you are a freelancer (whether you use WordPress or not), there's a full-day freelancer's workshop on Friday February 19th.
* Saturday and Sunday (February 20th and 21st) are full of talks ranging from how to improve your website's SEO, security, and how to build an commerce site with WordPress. Sunday has a full track dedicated to business owners and agencies, along with a brand new "Learn JavaScript deeply" for developers.
* The conference is especially family-friendly this year with a Kid's Workshop Sunday morning (where parents and kids ages 8-13 can learn to create their first blog), an arts/crafts/STEM class in the afternoon, and then a kid's panel to end the day (in which the invite is still open if you want to nominate your child who blogs to come and speak). Kids are welcome to attend both days on the weekend, and are free to attend.
Outside of the knowledge provided by over 70 speakers from across South Florida and the rest of the world, WordCamp Miami has many knowledgable sponsors on hand if you want to talk to anyone face to face about website hosting and security. There is also "Happiness Bar" staffed over the weekend by knowledgable WordPress users if you have a question about your WordPress site or need advice about your next website.
Because this is a non-profit event, ticket prices are a low $35 for the weekend (plus a little more if you want to attend a workshop on Friday). Discounts for students and teachers available. The event usually sells out so you might want to pick up your tickets as soon as possible. Weekend tickets include food, swag, t-shirts and access to the after-party.

Twitter is the latest Silicon Valley tech powerhouse to announce it is opening an office in Miami.
Twitter's office, at 1395 Brickell Ave., opens with six employees but is expected to grow, said a spokswoman Thursday after the company announced the news on #DáleTwitterMiami. The local team will support large and mid-market sales, media partnerships, marketing Communications and brand strategy.
The Miami office will be lead by Guilherme Ribenboim, vice president of Twitter Latin America, with the help of Marco Botero, head of sales for Twitter Miami and Matt Drinkwater, head of agency relations. Ribenboim leads Twitter's sales operation in Latin America as well as relations with sales partners that serve the needs of agencies and businesses in the region. Twitter, operating in Latin America since 2012, now has more than 100 employees distributed in offices in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and now Miami.
Twitter, with $1.4 billion in revenue in 2014, joins Facebook, Google, Uber, Lyft, Square, Instacart, Postmates, Shyp and other Silicon Valley tech companies with offices in the Miami area.
Did you know Miami is No. 3 in the world for selfies? Alex de Carvalho shared this Magic City claim to fame and other facts, figures and advice about social media -- in which a third of the world is now participating in -- at a recent talk he gave to the Miami Herald Media Company earlier this week.
Want more about the present and future of social media and how better to use it in your business? You'll have to go to Social Media Day South Florida on Sunday, June 28, with a full afternoon of talks planned, ending with a sunset cocktail hour. The event takes place from noon to 9 p.m. at the Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale.
Here's more about the event from de Carvalho's press release:
Popularized by Mashable, Social Media Day is an international celebration of digital media that attracts thousands to events around the world. Social Media Day South Florida was one of the first of these global meet-ups to take a conference-style approach. Attendees will learn from expert speakers on digital media trends, discover career opportunities and network with the region's brightest digital media minds.
Noted as one of the top Social Media Day events, the South Florida gathering is celebrating its fifth year. "There is a groundswell of digital media activity and expertise in South Florida. This is not just a celebration of social media in South Florida; it is a valuable opportunity for learning, networking and recruitment," said de Carvalho, Knight Innovator in Residence at FIU School of Journalism and Mass Communication and President of Social Media Club South Florida.
This year's keynote address will be provided by Adam Boalt, CEO of LiveAnswer. Based out of Pipeline Brickell, LiveAnswer is one of South Florida's fastest growing startups and a shining example of the region's prowess in digital innovation. While Boalt will be discussing the future of the digital media landscape, his company LiveAnswer also sees Social Media Day South Florida as a valuable opportunity for talent recruitment. "As South Florida grows its identity as a home for experts in social and digital technology and trends, Social Media Day South Florida is a platform to share our individual expertise while building our collective knowledge base," said Boalt.
For instance, LiveAnswer has partnered with Enrique Iglesias' Atlantico Rum to develop a VIP experience centered on talent recruitment. Those who apply to become LiveAnswer's newest "Marketing Rockstar" will gain two access passes to the Atlantico Rum VIP Suite during Social Media Day.
Other topics include branding (personal and company), SEO trends, tweeting responsibly, building a blogging network and getting the most from the various platforms. Presentations and panel discussion topics can be viewed here: www.smdaysf.com/agenda.
Social Media Day South Florida is co-organized by local social media leaders and influencers Blanca Stella Mejia and Karl Nybergh. The event is being sponsored by LiveAnswer, Lift Digital Media and Ford en Español.

As Hispanicize opens Monday for its sixth annual weeklong event packed with workshops, speakers, awards and concerts all featuring U.S. Latinos, a lot of people may not know the unusual entrepreneurial journey of the man behind it all.
Hispanicize is the largest U.S. Hispanic social media and entertainment event of its kind, specializing in marketing, media, film and music, said its founder, Manny Ruiz. "What people really love about Hispanicize is that we are the one event that is laser-focused on the aspirations, opportunities and challenges of the U.S. Hispanic."
Ruiz's father was an early Cuban exile and his mother is a second-generation Cuban American: "I was born and raised in Little Havana and Hialeah, as blue collar as you can get. … My family didn't have much in Cuba and they didn't have anything in Miami either, [but] their work ethic has stayed with me … and kept me grounded."
Today, Ruiz, 45, is the chairman and founder of the Hispanicize brand of platforms that include the annual Hispanicize event, the Latina Mom Bloggers network, Being Latino, Hispanicize Wire and the Hispanic PR Blog.
Before building his current grouping of media properties, Ruiz founded, led and sold Hispanic PR Wire for $5.5 million in 2008. In thinking about what his next project would be, he was inspired by South by Southwest, the big annual music, film and entrepreneurship event in Austin, Texas. The first Hispanicize was in 2010.
But here are some things you may not know about Ruiz. He almost flunked his senior year at Miami Southwest Senior High — twice.
"The shocking part of my second senior year was that despite a horrible academic record — I was 10 spots away from graduating last of my second senior year class — my high school principal believed in my investigative journalism work on the school newspaper so much she nominated me to be our high school's [Miami Herald] Silver Knight representative for journalism," Ruiz said.
Ruiz said he was moved to pursue journalism — he was affectionately known as "Geraldo" in high school — after his middle school experience attending a corrupt and drug-ridden private school, Miami Aerospace Academy. It was ultimately the power of the press that got the place shut down, he said.
He then stoked that journalistic passion at Miami Southwest and later at Miami Dade College, which will install him next month in the MDC Alumni Hall of Fame, and at the Miami Herald before transitioning into marketing, online media and entrepreneurship.
The Miami Herald talked with Ruiz about his unusual entrepreneurial journey and plans for the 2015 Hispanicize, which opens Monday at the InterContinental Miami with an expected record attendance of more than 2,000. Here are excerpts of the conversation:

It is no surprise that media experts forecast that mobile will overtake web traffic, because, well, it already has in the developed world. To get an overview of that trend, take a look at Benedict Evans' excellent presentation from the WSJD conference: Mobile is Eating the World. As a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, his research led him to discover that we will have two to three times more smartphones than PC's globally by the year 2020 and that Facebook already earns more in advertising from visitors to its mobile platform that to its website.
The implications from this sea change in media consumption are, of course, enormous, but probably even more so for emerging markets like those in Latin America. That's why I'm excited to attend and present at the 2014 M2Content & Apps LATAM Conference in Miami on December 2 and discuss "Monetizing Social Media" as well as share the story of how Flipboard launched its U.S. Latino content guide.
Here are three reasons to invest in Latin American mobile content:
One, Latin America will "leapfrog" the U.S. and other "developed" markets in adopting mobile technologies and content.
"Last year [in 2013] at this time, El Nuevo Día in Puerto Rico was getting 30 percent of its digital traffic from mobile devices, with the remaining 70 percent coming from the desktop. This year [in 2014] according to deputy general director Benjamín Morales Melendez, those numbers have reversed. They get 70 percent of their traffic from mobile devices. It switched in less than 12 months."
Craig Silverman, an award-winning journalist and Adjunct Faculty at The Poynter Institute, recently shared this story in his article "3 lessons in mobile, social and viral from Latin American newspapers," about attending and presenting at GDA's (Grupo de Diarios América) annual conference for journalists. Read his full article here.
Two, LatAm is currently the world's fastest growing mobile ad market.
LatAm is uniquely placed to 'leapfrog' the US and Europe in not only innovation but also in total advertising spending. In addition, smartphone population will surpass Internet population in 2017, with around 240 million users across the region. Yet, in 2012, the region only accounted for 0.6% of global mobile adspend. So, in the years ahead, advertisers will need to start thinking "mobile first" and create "made for mobile" content and advertising formats.
For more details, take a look at this presentation from Telefónica:
Mobile Advertising in LatAm; The Myths, The Facts and the Future from Telefónica's digital services.
Three, LatAm leads the world in time spent on social media.
"5 of the top 10 most engaged markets with social content worldwide are located in Latin America," according to digital market research firm comScore. In addition, its recent report shows that "consumers in Latin America spent 10 hours online per month on Social Networking sites, doubling the global average time spent."
The Wall Street Journal concurs, reporting that Brazil is "The Social Media Capital of the Universe," reporting that, "By the end of 2012, Brazil was also the biggest market outside the U.S. by number of unique visitors for YouTube, and one of YouTube's top five markets by revenue."
More recently, eMarketer reported that Latin American countries are among the fastest-growing Twitter markets worldwide, showing that "Emerging markets around the world are driving growth for Twitter, according to eMarketer's forecast of worldwide usage of the microblogging service. And while the two fastest-growing markets worldwide this year—Indonesia and India—are in Asia-Pacific, the rest of the top five are in Latin America."
Joe Kutchera is the head of Latin American and US Latino partnerships for Flipboard and helped launch both its US Latino and Latam content guides for the mobile application, which has over 100 million active users. Joe is the author of two books and writes for Fox News Latino, The Huffington Post and MediaPost. He will be speaking at 2014 M2Content & Apps LATAM Conference, Dec. 2-4, 2014 in Wynwood, at The Light Box at Goldman Warehouse.

In the rapidly changing world of social media marketing, simply collecting "likes" on a company Facebook page is so yesterday.
Today social marketing is about combining social science, technology and media in creative ways to create messaging on multiple platforms that resonates with consumers so deeply they are moved to share.
Nobox, a Miami-based technology company and digital marketing agency, calls it "social muscle," a strategy the company embraced about three years when Nobox pivoted its entire focus to human-to-human marketing through social media.
"It was a big move because back then social marketing was in its infancy, but we knew the future of marketing was in social," said Jayson Fittipaldi, president and chief creative officer of Nobox, who co-founded the company with Carlos García. "Social is the center is of everything we do."
Nobox was founded nearly 14 years ago in Puerto Rico and moved to Miami in 2004. Since its transformation into a social-media-focused marketing company by early 2012, Nobox has grown to 37 employees, has operations in Sao Paulo, San Francisco and New York as well as its Miami Midtown base and has grown its annual revenue fivefold to about $10 million. With a focus on consumer technology, travel and Latin America, Nobox has attracted marquee clients such as Sony PlayStation, Netflix, Samsung and Marriott.
"The way we have been able to fivefold revenue is we have focused on what we know best," said Carlos García, Nobox's CEO. "We consider ourselves to be marketing hackers. Our client base is looking to execute their marketing in Latin America. "

Nearly 16 years ago, Keri Brooke Heiken lost her life in a horrific car accident as she and four friends headed back to the University of Florida after spending a weekend in South Florida.
Since her death in 1998, her family has worked to keep Keri's memory alive by giving $2,500 scholarships to high school seniors who have helped the community and want to make a difference in the world.
This year, the Keri Brooke Heiken Foundation, which in the past has held dinner and raffle fundraisers, is reaching out for donations in a new way.
It has joined The Miami Foundation's Give Miami Day — a 24-hour period in which donations can be made online to more than 500 charities. The blitz begins 12:01 a.m. Thursday and runs for 24 hours.
"It's an opportunity to reach a lot more people," said Keri's mother, Lori Heiken. "We have been working hard to spread the word."
Give Miami Day, now in its third year, has gained popularity with each campaign, with more and more charities coming on board. This year, Give Miami will include 115 new charities — among them Goodwill Industries, the South Beach Chamber Ensemble, the South Florida SPCA Horse Rescue and Honor Flight South Florida.
Miami Foundation CEO Javier Alberto Soto said the momentum has been incredible. This year the foundation, a philanthropy incubator that helps charities with their fundraising, has even planned a block party from 6 to 9 p.m. in the West Plaza of the Miami Marlins' stadium in Little Havana to give people a chance to mingle.
"I think we have created an event people look forward to each year to make our community better," Soto said. "It's about civic pride."
And the pride has been contagious.
Returning charities including Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired Inc., Miami Herald Charities — which benefits the Wish Book project — and Shake-A-Leg Miami have been blasting the message through Facebook and through other social media platforms.
The Arsht Center, which is raising money for its Arts Education programs, has planned Dance Party on the Plaza to spotlight Give Miami Day and has encouraged the staff effort to raise money. Others including Heiken will hold an open house to thank supporters.
The way it works is simple: People can visit givemiamiday.org, look at the profiles of each charity and make a donation. Donations between $25 and $10,000 will qualify for a bonus for the recipient, distributed based on how much is raised and how much is collected in the bonus pool. The Miami Foundation, Knight Foundation and other sponsors have contributed as an "incentive" for giving, Soto said.
There are also about 20 prizes throughout the giving period to boost donations. The gifts include the $1,500 Early Bird Gets the Worm prize for the organization that receives the most individual gifts from midnight to 1:30 a.m., the $500 Good Morning, Sunshine prize for the organization that receives the gift made closest to the official sunrise at 6:43 a.m., and the $500 Giancarlo Stanton Home Run prize for the organization that receives the gift made closest to 1:54 p.m. celebrating the Miami Marlins all-time career home run leader.
Last year, Give Miami Day received more than 10,000 individual gifts and raised $3.2 million to support 407 local nonprofit organizations. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation topped the leader board with $207,362.
Soto said the goal is to continue to have an "impact on South Florida."
"There are a lot of charities doing a lot of great things and we want to recognize that."

Concept: Splyst is a platform for discovering and sharing content that revolutionizes the way people interact with information. The social network leverages machine learning to curate personalized real-time Internet content for its users and gives them the ability to share that content with their follower base.
Story: Recent University of Miami grad Travis Montaque founded Splyst as a sophomore. He conceived the Splyst concept after he found a study that showed 75 percent percent of people spent more time searching for and sharing information on the Internet than they'd like to, and he realized that younger demographics relied heavily on social media as a primary means to acquire information.
Fed up with inefficient, unreliable tools to receive and share Internet content, he set out to develop a platform that would change the way people would receive and share things they found interesting. Montaque was managing two Chick-fil-A franchises at age 19 before launching into entrepreneurship. At 21, he was invited by former President Bill Clinton to give a talk to world leaders at the Clinton Global Initiative 2013 Annual Meeting on solving the global youth unemployment problem through entrepreneurship.
Splyst's application learns its users' behaviors and brings them what they want to see, allows them to share their reactions with friends using emojis, and allows users to collect what they like. Enjoy browsing new content on the 'for you' feed or follow your friends and see what they have recently reacted to.
Launched: August 2014.
Management team: Travis Montaque, CEO; Mike Ojemann, CTO; Keisuke Inoue, VP of Data Science.
Number of employees: 9
Financing: Raised a $570,000 seed round.
Recent milestones: Splyst released its iOS application in the Apple App Store on Aug. 4; formed high-profile strategic relationships in New York; closed an additional $270,000 in financing; acquired John Fanning, co-founder and former chairman of Napster, as an advisor.
Biggest startup challenge: Building a team of individuals with the correct competencies, personalities and motivations. "Everything fell into place afterwards," Montaque said.
Next step: Splyst just opened its Series A round seeking to raise $2 million to scale up the company and achieve massive adoption.
Strategy for next step: The company is in discussions with several large media and technology firms and intends to partner with them to accelerate user adoption.
Advisor's view: "It has been amazing to watch an energetic college kid with an idea hire a team, build a product, close investors, put a product in the market, and have real customers and users flock to it, all in an incredibly short period of time. It's exciting," said Fanning, chairman of Netcapital who advises Montaque on strategy, relationship introductions, connections to capital, recruiting, product development and marketing.
"The biggest challenge is getting support from the Miami community. Most companies who are able to achieve the success Travis has already achieved simply just move to Silicon Valley because they already have the people, support and infrastructure to get your early-stage company to the next level. People in that community like to have the companies within driving distance of their own office. It's a long drive to Miami," said Fanning. "Travis believes in Miami and has found a few great people to support him, but he needs more or he will simply have to move the company."

To fuel its product expansions, Everypost, the social media publishing platform, raised $850,000 in seed funding from Miami-based Krillion Ventures, NXTP of Buenos Aires and Handmade Ventures of San Francisco, as well as angel investors in Miami, Silicon Valley, Argentina and Brazil, the Miami-based company announced Thursday.
Led by CEO and co-founder Fernando Cuscuela, Everypost plans to use the funding for product development, including a web version of its social media publishing tool that it plans to launch in October and tablet versions for both iPad and Android. It will also ramp up marketing and advertisings over the next 12 months, mainly in Latin America and U.S. markets, Cuscuela said.
With an average user growth of 10 percent a week, Everypost not only makes it easy to schedule and share content on all your social networks at once but it allows you to quickly customize the post for each network. It also helps users post quality content by giving photo filters and trending hashtags, and allowing them to search and curate content from different sources right on the platform.
"We have active and enthusiastic users who are contributing to our success by sharing their suggestions and even translating parts of the app so that we can offer it in more languages," said Cuscuela, adding that Everypost is offered so far in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, French and German. "Our international collection of investors is also providing invaluable support and guidance."
That would include Alexandre Hohagen, VP of Facebook Latin America and based in Miami, Stefano Zunino, who heads Digital Worldwide for JWT, Miami-based Nobox CEO Carlos Garcia and Mark Kingdon, an early investor in Twitter and Fab.com. "Everypost's mobile-first business approach was a smart move, allowing them to offer a tool that competitors just aren't ready to compete with," said Kingdon, who recently moved to Miami from New York and is one of Everypost's newest investors.
Cuscuela moved his family here in 2013 as part of the first accelerator class at Venture Hive. The team has now grown to 12 – nine in Argentina and three in Miami - and Everypost plans to soon hire business development and marketing managers in Miami, Cuscuela said.
"Everypost has an exceptionally talented founding team with long-term vision and global ambition. We believe that their easy-to-use, time-saving social media publishing solution is a must-have for brands, bloggers, journalists and professionals," said Melissa Krinzman, managing partner of Krillion Ventures. "As their lead investor, we look forward to helping them realize their potential."

The city's two electricity producers will need to cut prevailing emissions of key pollutants by up to 60 per cent to comply with tighter caps by 2017, according to environmental guidelines announced yesterday.
CLP Power and Hongkong Electric have called the task "challenging" and CLP also warns of a possible sharp rise in tariffs in the next few years.
The new limits are set out in a new technical memorandum gazetted yesterday, under which annual emissions from the companies will be capped, from 2017, at 10,399 tonnes of sulphur dioxide, 25,950 tonnes of nitrogen oxides and 750 tonnes of respirable suspended particulates.
This will see emissions of the three pollutants cut by 17 per cent, 6 per cent and 10 per cent respectively from 2015 targets, according to the Environmental Protection Department. Compared to 2010 levels, the cut will be about 60 per cent, 40 per cent and 40 per cent respectively.
"To find ways to meet the tightened 2017 caps - which require a further significant reduction from the 2015 levels, given no new capital equipment and no increase of gas usage are expected - CLP will have to rely on a stable supply of low-emission coal with consistent properties which could not be assured in the very volatile coal market," CLP said in a statement.
It added: "The fuel cost for electricity generation will significantly increase in the next few years with substantial pressure on tariffs."
The power supplier said emissions from the power generation sector had dropped in recent years and "roadside and marine had now become the major sources of emissions".
Hongkong Electric also released a statement urging the government to devise a long-term gas generation policy "because of the long lead time required and low flexibility in sourcing natural gas supply".
Friends of the Earth yesterday welcomed the move but warned the government to guard against power companies making use of the emission caps as an excuse to raise tariffs.
"We appreciate that the use of more clean fuel could lead to higher costs and thus higher charges," said Frances Yeung, Friends of the Earth's senior environmental officer. "We believe it is important for the government to promote energy saving."
The department was satisfied that both companies could tighten emission caps further if they continued to use low-emission coal while maximising their natural-gas-fired generating capacity.
The memorandum is expected to be tabled in the Legislative Council on Wednesday. This is the third memorandum by the government to control emissions from power plants. The others were in 2008 and 2010.
The first set emission allowances from 2010 to 2014, while those listed in the second will come into effect from 2015. In 2010, power generation accounted for half the emissions of sulphur dioxide, a quarter of nitrogen oxides and 16 per cent of respirable suspended particulates.

What is need to put twin carbs on a 2ltr 8v? What size carbs, what fuel pump etc etc? Thanks
What is need to put twin carbs on a 2ltr 8v? What size carbs, what fuel pump etc etc? Thanks
the fuel pump you have on there for the injection should be fine to run carbs as it will be able to give a more sustainable fuel pressure
to put carbs onto the 8v engine, the best size would be 45mm or maybe 48mm, you'll need a pair of carbs, the inlet manifold and any relevant piping involved to plumb them into the fuel system
i think you'll also need the throttle cable linkage to link both together but this may come with the carbs.
For issues using MIGWeb please use our helpdesk - do not PM me. Thanks
Tom, i disagree with you there, as carbs need high flow not high pressure. Too much pressure overwhelms the needle valves and causes over rich running. The fuel injection pump is unsuitable for carbs. This is what i'm getting at the moment until i change some bits on the fuel line in my car. I suggest a Facet interrupter fuel pump as this flows fuel dependant on engine load/speed etc.. which is what i'm replacing my solid state one with because this flows at a constant rate and is a bit unsuitable. Also you will need a fuel pressure regulator to keep the pressure around 3psi so as not to overflow the needle valves.
Ditto to what John says. Size 40-45 45mm would be better but not 48 unless you have huge spec engine. Not bad to put on and once they are set up they are great fun and sound even better...
Do you want a manifold for a 2L 8v?? I know of one going spare???
Clicky link for the longest (11 years and counting) rebuild thread..
Chip says..Bunch of jokers the lot of them, wouldnt know a good map if you stuffed an AA road atlas of great britain up their arse and set fire to it..
The optimum size (for power) for carb bores or throttle bodies on an 8v engine with one choke per cylinder is the same as the valve diameter (or only very slightly larger). So if your 2.0 8v has standard 41.8mm valves, the 45mm carbs / throttle bodies is correct. 40mm would give more driveability but lose a little at max power. 48mm is too big for your engine unless you have significantly larger valves fitted. 48mm will lose a little at max power and a lot in the mid-range, on a standard valve head.

They don't have to be fancy, they just need to help make the 49ers offense work.
The offensive coordinator of the 49ers usually has a life expectancy of one year, but play-calling shouldn't be the reason to blame.
Injuries and anemic play have also played a role. For this offense to be successful, these five guys will be counted on heavily to do their part and help make the Niners much better offensively.
On every unit, from the offensive line, to receivers, to running backs and yes, the quarterback, all it takes are five players needing to make this offense click

By Rabbi Aaron Gol...
May 2, 2010
A few Shabbat afternoons ago, I was sat with Rabbi Pete Tobias at Vicarage Road. One more Rabbi and we would have been taking status cases, conversions and the like but instead, Rabbi Pete was grumbling about the Hornet's lack of, well, most things and I was becoming increasingly concerned by the rising goal count against Aston Villa (Chelsea won 7-1!). Supporting the teams we do, it would be all too easy to feel rather down.
In Judaism, there is certainly enough that, if we dwelt on it, would get us down. Our history is full of dark ages and whilst we live in relative prosperity and peace, we are held in a constant state of concern for the State of Israel and on the watch for those who wish our harm. We do not hold a monopoly on worry and doubt, mourning and sorrow, or guilt but we certainly do good lines on them.
We set aside whole days and even periods of time to explore these emotions – right now we are in the middle of the 'austerity season,' the Omer. The words tsorus, kvetching and broigus need no translation. On a recent Radio London show, they featured high in the conscience of the cabbies who plied Robert Elms with Yiddish words integrated into British vocabulary (should that be voCABulary?).
Not only are we Jews, we are also British and there are no two ways about it, we Brits love a good kvetch as well! We are constantly muttering about how poor this and that is and even as we celebrate a national sporting achievement, we are predicting the downfall. We love knocking people and in most situations we see the worse. The current flavour of our whinging is how bad our politicians are.
My father, teacher and mentor, Rabbi Dr Andrew Goldstein, taught me that we are in the 'hope' business. Religion at its best has always provided its adherents with hope that tomorrow will be a better day and even, yes even for us Jews and British Jews, today may not be that bad either.
We have a weekly reminder of joy with Shabbat and we get regular hits through the festival cycle. This Sunday will be Lag B'Omer. From obscure probably pagan roots based on superstitious beliefs and woodland lore has sprung, like a woodland sprite the minor festival on the 18th of Iyar. Just as Tisha B'Av has become the day when tragic events in the history of our people supposedly occurred, Lag B'Omer has become the "traditional" date for joyous events.
A plague that had killed thousands of Rabbi Akiva's disciples suddenly ceased on the 18th Iyar, the date of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai's birth and death which he ordained as one of celebration for life, not mourning of death. This, the Rabbi who defied the Romans by studying and teaching Torah, hiding in a cave with his son and being visited by pupils dressed as hunters with bows and arrows. It is also said that manna first fell in the desert on Lag B'Omer – well food had to come into it somewhere!
So my advice to all those who are feeling rather down, is get out you picnic hampers, light a bonfire, (chiminea or bbq will do) , dress-up as hunters, build a cave, have a (safe) bow and arrow competition (preferably with a Watford Aston Villa striker – they need the practice). Alternatively attend a wedding or get your 3 year old's haircut for the first time: further customs of the day. Oh, and take just one day-off from worrying about the elections!
