Thanks for all the great work you guys do.
The README file is located in launchpad.tar.gz/launchpad
For your convenience, here are the current contents:
launchpad for Kindle is a small program supporting extended input
capabilities. The main purpose of it is providing the ability to run
any 3rd-party programs from within the original unmodified Kindle
Framework software. It can be also used to organize custom keyboard
shortcut operations and to simplify input of special symbols.
Also it fully supports the hotkey script files used by the popular
hotkeys package for Kindle.
This program was originally written for Kindle DX Graphite and later
extended in order to support Kindle3* operation. It has been successfully
tested on Kindle DX Graphite and Kindle3 WiFi and hopefully will also
work on older Kindle models.
Runtime parameters are fully controlled by a set of configuration files
of .ini type which are interpreted at program startup. Any number of
configuration files is allowed, three of them have predefined contents
and exist by default: launchpad.ini, fbreader.ini and servicecmds.ini .
The .ini files consist of text lines in a form <KEY> = <VALUE> , these
lines are grouped into logical sections by the specially formatted lines
indicating start of section. Similar format is widely used in .ini files
on Windows platform.
Currently only two section names are recognized in the launchpad
configuration files:
[Settings] section describes various runtime parameters,
[Actions] section contains definitions of hotkey sequences
It is recommended (but not required) to keep the whole [Setting] section
in a single file called launchpad.ini . As opposite to that, it is
recommended to keep logical groups of hotkey action definitions in separate
custom configuration files under [Actions] section.
These definitions, combined at startup, will constitute the supported hotkey
sequence repertoire.
Note: configuration files are processed in chronological order, as their
names are physically stored in a directory. All duplicate hot sequence
definitions, are ignored, if found.
When running, the Program just transparently scans keypad and fiveway
keystrokes until the user presses and releases the hot sequence Introducer
key. This causes the launchpad to enter the hotkey mode: it captures all
system input, engages the interval timer to trigger after specified HotInterval
milliseconds and starts collecting further keystrokes in internal hotkey
sequence buffer.
When the hotkey interval timer triggers or the Trailer key is pressed,
the system input capture gets released, and an attempt to execute collected
hotkey action is made. Available hotkey sequence actions are defined by
the configuration files as described above.
[Actions] section of the configuration file contains hotkey sequence
definitions in a form
<key_sequence> = <action_command> ,
one single action definition per text line.
<key_sequence> is a blank separated list of key symbolic names.
See keydefs.ini.default file for details.
<action_command> describes the action to execute on a particular
hotkey sequence.
Currently three type of action supported depending on the first character
of the <action_command> string:
'!' -- shell command. The <action_command> string excluding the leading
'!' is sent to the system shell, exactly as it was typed from
the console.
'@' -- Kindle Framework script. The <action_command> string excluding
the leading '@' is interpreted as a name of a special script
containing command information obeying format of the known hotkeys
package. The main purpose of these scripts is to simplify input of
special symbols into kindle Framework search box
'#' -- Kindle Framework key sequence. Similar to the above, but doesn't
require external script.
all other command strings are interpreted as a sequence of a send_key
commands. The contents of these commands gets interpreted and sent as
a sequence of simulated keystrokes to the input subsystem. Such commands
consist of the space-separated tokens, which can be symbolic key names
and/or ascii strings enclosed in quotes (")
Note: to correctly accept kindle key sequence starting with a special
symbol, the Framework search box should be brought up, if not
already. Press the 'Del' key on Kindle in order to bring the
search box up
Input key code definitions are hardcoded and cover the input capabilities of
Kindle DX Graphite and Kindle3 models.
There is a way to redefine these definitions at a startup by providing custom
keydefs.ini configuration file. See keydefs.ini.default example for details.
Fresh launchpad installation contains some useful hotkey sequences defined
by default. These definitions are listed below.
Note: the leading Shift introducer key is shown for convienience, it is not
a part of the hot section definitions found in .ini files:
FBReader group (fbreader.ini):
Shift F B -- run FBReader
Shift F R -- run the fbKindle port of FBReader.
Service commands group (servicecmds.ini):
Shift Shift Space -- reread hotkey sequence database
used in order to reinitialize hotkey sequence database without
restart. Launchpad home directory is re-scanned and all .ini files
found are re-interpreted. launchpad.log file containing minimal
diagnostics along with the list of actual hotkey sequence definitions
is created
Shift Shift I -- install custom updates
can be used as an alternative for the 'hack installation' technique.
This hotkey sequence runs the(provided) customupdate.sh shell script
which, in turns, scans the customupdates directory and, if
found, unpacks all .zip , .tar.gz and .tgz archives to kindle user root
[/mnt/us/] directory. Then all customupdates/*.sh shell scripts are executed.
Archives and scripts within a group are processed in alphabetical order.
Successfully processed archives and/or installation scripts are deleted
from customupdates directory. Processing failure, if happens, stops
execution of this action.
Shift Shift S -- Sleep/show screensaver
Note: the complementary Wakeup hotkey sequence cannot be implemented,
because the keyboard gets blocked in a sleep mode.
Shift Shift A -- restart Amazon Kindle framework
Shift Shift C -- kick/continue mistakenly stopped Amazon Kindle framework
this is related to fbKindle operation. Hopefully will not be needed
in a nearest future
Shift Shift R -- Reboot
Shift Shift H -- Shutdown
(starting from version 0.0.1b):
Shift Shift Shift -- takes a screenshot and saves it as screenshot.bmp

Center Circle Extra: Harkes Looks Back and Ahead
CHICAGO (April 20, 2005) - Former U.S. internationals Marcelo Balboa, John Harkes and Tab Ramos were elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Tuesday (April 19), each gaining entry in their first year on the ballot. The trio of World Cup veterans will formally be inducted into the Hall of Fame in a ceremony Aug. 29 in Oneonta, N.Y.
Harkes, whose career began with the national team in 1987, earned over 90 caps while netting six goals for the United States. A two-time World Cup veteran, Harkes started and played every minute of the six games he appeared in 1990 and 1994. A pioneer who was the first American ever to play in England's famed Wembley Stadium, he was made captain of the U.S. team in 1995, serving for three years.
Harkes sat down with ussoccer.com to talk about his playing career and the coaching aspirations he has as he moves into the next stage of his career.
ussoccer.com: On being elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame in his first year on the ballot:
John Harkes: "It's one of those things you don't really think about until the end of your career. It's a dream and an honor to be selected, especially with the number of media members and MLS coaches that have a vote. It is such a fantastic feeling, but as exciting as it is, it is also very humbling to be linked with this group of fantastic players in soccer history in this country."
ussoccer.com: On being part of the team that qualified for the 1990 World Cup:
JH: "I remember a lot of people wondered if our game was mature enough to go down to Trinidad & Tobago against all odds, pull out a result and be part the team to qualify for the World Cup. It was added pressure, but we were a very competitive group of individuals and we liked to fight for things and we didn't want it to come easy. I remember going into that game and a lot of the players like team captain Mike Windischmann, Bruce Murray, Tab Ramos and Peter Vermes telling us that we have to do this not just for each other, but for the history of soccer we need to get back to the World Cup. It was such a battle and we stuck together throughout the game."
ussoccer.com: On what it was like in the locker room after the game:
JH: "We get into the locker room after the game and we're just absolutely wiped-out, totally exhausted. I think I lost about five pounds that game. It was so hot, the crowd was so noisy, and everyone was wearing red. The support from their fans was phenomenal and that was just incredible to be part of. When I look back on it, I just think about how much we celebrated, but at the same time how much we were in shock of what we just accomplished. It was one of those things where you try to put it into perspective, but you couldn't because it didn't hit you until weeks later that we actually qualified for the World Cup."
ussoccer.com: On having the opportunity to wear the captain's armband with the Men's National Team:
JH: "First of all, it's an absolute honor to be selected to your national team, and then to be given the captain's armband was something that was really special for me. With that comes heavy responsibility, but for me it was an incredible time because we had such a great group of players that made it easy to be a captain, really. I always tried to bring passion to the field as a captain because you feel that responsibility as a leader to bring that to the guys every single time, even if we're beaten and we're down you have to stand up and show that leadership. For me, it was very special and I'm sure every captain will tell you that. Just to wear the crest on your shirt and get that cap is a amazing honor and then to wear the captain's armband can not be taken lightly."
ussoccer.com: On playing on the team during the 1990s:
JH: "At the time it was such an important part of soccer history. We didn't really realize it back then, but we were changing the history books one game at a time. We were able to be part of a unique generation of players that could really do something special. It was exciting. It was exciting to be a part of it and walk out onto the field every day for training. The coaches were fantastic because they believed in us, saw we had the ability and gave us the chance to succeed. It was just a thrill. Looking back on it now, you'll able to reflect and not only remember how much fun we had, but also the experience that we gained and how during that time we helped put soccer back on the map in this country. To know we helped soccer in the U.S. gain some respect is a nice feeling."
ussoccer.com: On if there was a moment or game he realized he was playing at the highest level of soccer in the world:
JH: "I think that's kind of a feeling that gradually builds from one game to the next. When you're that young, you don't totally take in what you're actually doing. But I'd have to say qualifying for the Olympics in the CONCACAF region were the games that really let me know that I was playing at the highest level because that was such a huge competition. Obviously, making my debut for the national team in South Korea (against Egypt) in 1987 was something special. When you get there, you think, 'oh, my God, look what I've done. I'm here now. Now I have to work hard to stay here because there are so many talented players.' When I look back on it those are the memories that come to mind."
ussoccer.com: On which of his six goals he scored with the MNT was his favorite:
JH: "You know I'd like to see them all on tape again (laughs). My first goal was against South Korea and I think it was a deflected goal off a guy's back. Scoring against Italy in the U.S. Cup was a great goal as we tied 1-1 and we ended up winning the inaugural tournament in 1992. I got a goal against Ireland, which was at the time one of the top nations in soccer and scoring so close to home (in Washington, D.C.) was fantastic. There was also one against Mexico in the 4-nil game, which was a special one. It's hard to pick out one because they were all kind of meaningful."
ussoccer.com: On whether he was nervous going over as one of the first Americans to play in England:
JH: "Yeah, I was very nervous. It was very intimidating because there wasn't really any American that had gone on to excel over there, but I thought I had to take a chance after I was able to get a lot of experience playing in the '90 World Cup. My dad, mom and the rest of my family and friends, including my girlfriend and wife now, Cindy, all supported me. I remember there was a point that I went over there on trial and I didn't get signed right away. It was a lot of hard work to convince them that I was mentally strong. I think they saw my ability straight away and I earned the respect from the fans and the media there for my playing ability, but for a coach to take a chance on an American was a difficult one. Mentally it was a strong challenge for me to stick it out. I was over there on my own and it was basically just hanging out in the hotels and finding yourself. It was good for me though, it helped me grow up and mature. You had to be thick-skinned and I battled through it. It was great to be accepted, sign the final contract and be the first player to break into the premier league."
ussoccer.com: Talk about your first season:
JH: "What a great season I was able to have the first year, too. I was fortunate to get goal of the year against Peter Shilton two months after signing the contract, and then beat Manchester United in the League Cup Final in '91 in Wembley Stadium. A lot of players on that team were telling me, 'Harkesy, you can retire now.' And I was like, 'No, I'm just getting started.' It was a fantastic first year for me and it helped me solidify my position over there."
ussoccer.com: You moved into broadcasting now. Has it been harder than you thought it would be and has being on that end given you a different perspective on the game:
JH: "Since I retired I was able to do MLS Wrap and co-host my own show which was fantastic. I've had some experience by doing a show here (in Washington, D.C.) when I came back in the beginning with D.C. United. From there I worked with SkyTV in England as well, so it wasn't something that was so new to me, but again it was another challenge. I was able to stay close to the game, too. Actually, doing the broadcasting has educated me on who was in the league. You're learning about the style of teams, you're watching every single game, you know their roster, and you know their substitution tendencies. It gives you a different perspective on things and it helped me move into my next career, which I really feel passionate about and that's coaching."
ussoccer.com: Talk a little bit about your coaching aspirations:
JH: "That's my passion. I love it. I love being on the field, teaching, learning about each of the players. Through my experiences that I've had as a player, I hope I can translate those to coaching. Working with the Under-20s with Sigi Schmid and Dave Dir has been great for me. You feel it in your blood, you feel it in your veins. That's what I want to do to stay involved in soccer and hopefully down the line I can either coach in the MLS as a head coach or stay within the national team program. I still have a lot to learn and I'm learning things every day, but I'm just thankful for the opportunity to be involved. It's great."
ussoccer.com: What do you hope people remember about John Harkes:
JH: "I hope people remember that I was an honest player, that I gave everything that I could, played with my heart and that I love this game so much. I'm very thankful for the career that I've had and a lot of people need to be thanked for that. The support I've had over the years from the fans, coaches and players has been remarkable. No one player is bigger than the game and no one can have success without help from the people around them. It's been a fantastic journey for me in terms of a player and now I'm just looking to step into the next role whole-heartedly and bring that passion once again."

Witness: Slaying followed 'beef with some dudes'
Updated 6:03 am, Tuesday, November 19, 2013
SAN ANTONIO — A man found shot to death on the West Side on Sunday has been identified as Miguel Camarillo, 21.
Police responded to the 1100 block of Morales Street around 6:40 p.m. on a report of a shooting in progress and found Camarillo's body, according to a police report. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Camarillo had been in a residence with three other people but went outside, where he was shot, the others told police.
The other people, who were not identified in the report, said they did not know why Camarillo went outside. But one witness told police that Camarillo "had some beef with some dudes."
News Channel
"A wad of money and a small bag of what appeared to be marijuana was found near" Camarillo's body, the report says.
Witnesses told police that they saw a maroon Chevrolet with two people inside leaving the scene.
Camarillo was shot several times in the torso, police said. He might have been involved in an altercation in an alley between two nearby houses in the 900 block of North Colorado Street.
"We're just hoping people will talk to us," police Sgt. Sean Johnson said.

ARTHRITIS robbed Ashley Heath of his childhood after his mum Ruth was crippled with the disorder when she was his age.
Now the 48-year-old from Old Town is taking on the London Marathon this year to raise awareness of the condition and help prevent other youngsters from going through the same thing.
Ashley, whose mum developed rheumatoid arthritis when he was only 11, said: "I don't really remember Mum without arthritis.
"I remember the terribly curled hands and painfully swollen knuckles. I remember the callipers. I remember the cries of pain, and the crying.
"Arthritis insists on making every day painfully difficult."
After his father died in 1983, Ashley became the sole carer for his mother, who had been a commercial traveller in the theatre travelling thousands of miles every year before she died in 1997.
He said: "Mum was a free spirit, always moving. Indeed, she needed to keep moving. Familiar surroundings soon lost their appeal with the enticing prospect of the new always around the corner.
"But arthritis caged mum. She spent hours a day in her chair, the tedium leading her to sleep a lot.
"I've realised that arthritis didn't only imprison mum but it also fundamentally changed our relationship.
"When her condition first hit, my errands and helping-round-the-house quotient began to build, as you would expect.
"After dad's death, my responsibilities grew and I became the parental unit. I went from child to carer with not much in between."
Despite the constant loving care Ashley gave to his mum, he still believes he could have done more.
He said: "After dad died in 1983, I became primary care giver. It's a task I look back on with dissatisfaction. I could have done more.
"I think this only became plain to me a number of years ago, when a colleague's mother would come into our studios, where she volunteered.
"I realised that here was a man, roughly my age, who enjoyed a mature, equal friendship with his mother. I wondered what that must be like, and envied him."
This year Ashley, who regularly swims at Health Hydro in Milton Road, and took on the Swindon Half Marathon last year, hopes to double that distance in his fundraising efforts for Arthritis Research UK.
He said: "There is a marathon in my lifetime and to delay after running the Swindon half makes no sense. I'm not getting any younger."
The one thing Ashley says will keep him going around the course is thinking about his mother's smile.
He said: "Despite the pain and limitations I still remember Mum's wide, open and genuine smile.
"That will keep me going round London."
His efforts will also help to raise awareness of the condition and build on treatments not available 40 years ago.
"A lot of what I remember of mum's arthritis speaks of the time she suffered it," said Ashley, who works for BBC Radio Wiltshire. "Understanding of the condition and its treatment has moved on.
"I'm sure that women aged under 50 with arthritis have more options today but that's only come about through expensive research."

Global macro-economic concerns, most notably China's slowdown, have hurt commodity prices and battered mining companies. But before you rush off to sell your resources portfolio, heed some advice from the Oracle of Omaha.
"Charlie and I have never had a discussion about buying or selling a stock or a business where we have talked about macro affairs," Buffett said.
"Everyone thinks we sit around and talk about the macro, but the reality is we don't have discussions about macro factors. We look at value, we don't look at headlines."
For Australia, where there are plenty of headlines about macro factors wiping billions of dollars off resources stocks like Fortescue Metals Group, Buffett's advice not to get carried away with the big picture might be less convincing.
At one stage last month, more than 245 million Fortescue shares were sold short out of about 300 million shares available to short.
Australia has clearly been heavily dependent on China's growth, which has been regularly more than 10 per cent. Now we have to deal with lower growth targets as part of China's current Five-Year Plan.
However, while some stock valuations may suffer from China's cooling, others will present themselves as buying opportunities, especially when investors realise such stocks have been inadvertently dragged down by sentiment.
The head of Australian equities at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, Paul Taylor, believes some companies might be tarred with the same brush.
"We think there should be differentiation, there should be discernment in the market – and there will be at some stage – and that's where we see opportunities."
Taylor, who has been portfolio manager of the Australian Equities Fund since 2003, will explain in a national roadshow starting next week how the fund is positioned to cope with growing macro uncertainties.
"A lower growth world is not necessarily bad, but it does focus investors on certain attributes."
It is not just Australian -based fund managers who have identified the opportunities amid the haze of fluctuating macro variables.
The director of equity sales at investment bank RBC Capital Markets, Ben Cleary, says the offshore investors are aware of the situation.
"We are actually hearing from the large US long only's that Australia is looking reasonably attractive to deploy new inflows at the moment," Cleary says. "Stock prices have had a big reset over most of 2012, so valuations are starting to look attractive in the resources space within the Australia market."
Cleary says a number of US money managers had been staring down low yields in the bond markets, making Australian equity yields look particularly strong.
However, the majority of RBC's clients are still underweight in the Australian resources sector.
"Small and mid-cap ownership is particularly low, and the number of stocks owned by clients within the sector has generally shrunk."
On RBC's numbers, the cash margin for iron ore companies such as Fortescue, Atlas Iron, BC Iron, and Mount Gibson is less than $5 per tonne, based on a $90 per tonne spot price. But RBC expects the iron ore price to recover to above $120 per tonne in the fourth quarter, which could help support those stocks. It also expects liquefied natural gas companies based in Queensland's Cooper Basin to show unrealised value.
"We believe there's an emerging corporate play in the Cooper similar to the way the Queensland CSG play evolved," Cleary says. "Smaller players will increasingly look attractive as reserves grow and gas prices rise. If markets don't re-rate this play we suspect corporates will, and RBC will see takeover potential for Drillsearch, Beach Petroleum and Senex."
While the data flowing from China points to a slowdown, especially in the resources sector, it is now even more critical to spot the difference in companies' value.
After all, you don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Social media firms walk fine line with jihadists
A Twitter posting from May showing nine severed heads resting on a blanket had 15 favorites and 19 retweets.
A YouTube video posted this month demonstrated how to behead someone: "You take the sword, you place the head like this, and then you enjoy yourself with it," the instructor says.
Many other images show jihadists holding heads up as trophies or placed atop fences and stakes. One blog post featured two heads strapped to a pickup truck like hood ornaments.
The images are among more than 200 photos of beheadings collected from social media sites in recent months by the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington nonprofit. The institute culled them from the thousands of graphic postings by jihadists in Syria and northern Iraq, executive director Steven Stalinsky said.
He believes social media companies need to work harder to prevent the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria — or Islamic State, for short — from spreading their message.
"You can't 100 percent remove all of the content, but you can make it difficult for them," Stalinsky told the Tribune-Review. "At the heart of this is American social media companies. (Jihadists) have used (social media) very effectively for fundraising, for recruitment, for being able to quickly get out information. It has assisted them in ways they could never have thought of before."
Twitter did not respond directly to requests for explanations of how the company decides on content. A spokesperson directed the Trib to Twitter's online policies for flagging and removing graphic material. Google, which owns YouTube, did not respond to repeated inquiries.
A review of Twitter and YouTube policies indicates they are subjective.
Twitter prohibits obscene or pornographic images and has said it will remove, at family members' request, images of anyone who has died. But it leans to the side of free speech: "Users are allowed to post content, including potentially inflammatory content," it says .
In answering criticism about images showing the beheading of American journalist James Foley in Syria last week, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo tweeted: "We have been and are actively suspending accounts as we discover them related to this graphic imagery."
The popular social media service was criticized for allowing graphic references and even a purported post-death photo of comedian Robin Williams, who hanged himself. But by week's end, disturbing images, purportedly showing Williams and Foley after death, still appeared on Twitter.
Google said videos posted to YouTube can be violent or graphic, but they must be presented with meaningful context.
"It's not okay to post violent or gory content that's primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful," it said. The company said it removed video images of Foley being killed.
Many images and videos mentioned in the institute's report have been blocked from social media, but jihadists keep finding ways to spread their messages.
Twitter suspended the account of a jihadist who showed graphic images, along with taunts about the United States bombing northern Iraq. He opened a new account on Wednesday and had 789 followers by Friday.
Jihadists also started using social media sites that are harder to block because they are not controlled by one entity in the United States. A program called Diaspora runs on networks of volunteer server operators around the world, meaning administrators cannot simply remove offensive content from one central place.
"This may be one of the reasons which attracted IS activists to our network," the Diaspora team posted in an online blog .
Officials at most other social media sites, however, must subjectively decide what content to block or remove — and the decisions are not always easy, experts said.
Intelligence experts said they are divided about whether social media sites should attempt to prevent jihadists from posting opinionated rants and taunting messages.
Jihadists can use the sites to their advantage — but like many people, they inevitably end up sharing too much information, said Colin Clarke, who studies insurgents as a Rand Corp. researcher in Pittsburgh.
"They're putting out slickly produced social media marketing masterpieces," Clarke said. "These things are carefully choreographed, and they're appealing. ... Madison Avenue would be jealous of a few of the things these guys have put out."
Even the video of the Foley beheading offered clues about his executioner's English accent, eye color, height, stature and use of his left hand, said Thomas Sanderson, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington. British intelligence officials have been trying to identify the killer by his voice.
"This is not a win-win scenario for us to have them on Twitter," Sanderson said. "They get to recruit, raise money, terrorize people and maintain a presence on social media, which lends some legitimacy. … But I do think on balance we learn a lot by seeing what they do."
If the user is simply posting supportive messages about jihad, intelligence agencies can gain information by quietly monitoring them, said Michael Kenney, a terrorism expert at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.
But sites should disrupt the message when the "keyboard jihadists" cross into providing specific operational information about how to carry out an attack or posting violent images, he said.
"You've gone beyond just merely cheerleading about the Islamic State," Kenney said. "Now you're actually posting the video which shows what is essentially a terrorist act. There you are actively facilitating the terrorist agenda."

Jason Aldean w/ Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett
Saturday, June 29 @ Marcus Amphitheater, 7:30 p.m.
Jun. 12, 2013
If a March performance in Madison is any indication, the kind of fired-up show this trio of country hunks puts on is tailor made for a hot Summerfest evening. These guys party like every night is Saturday night, singing rockin' country songs about chicks, trucks and beer. Jason Aldean, touring in support of his fifth (and third number-one) album, Night Train, was named "Male Vocalist of the Year" at the 2013 American Country Music Awards and received a nomination at this year's People's Choice Awards for "Favorite Country Singer." His touring guitarists deserve almost as much attention as Aldean. Jake Owen is still on the road following the 2011 release of his number-one album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, which has so far spawned four singles. The seasoned singer-songwriter and guitarist previously opened for everyone from Brad Paisley and Keith Urban to Little Big Town and Sugarland, but could easily headline his own tour. Meanwhile, newcomer Thomas Rhett has yet to release his full-length debut, but he has co-written songs for Aldean and is perhaps best known for his single "Beer With Jesus."

Disconnected Customer Experiences are Fraught with Friction
Digital marketing and e-Commerce teams have traditionally worked on separate missions. Marketers have been focused on creating higher engagement with the brand and e-Commerce teams have had laser vision on product sell-through and revenues. Unfortunately, the variation in experiences can be so abrupt that customers end up confused and not at all pleased with the friction.
Inconsistencies that can result from "two-site syndrome" that manifests a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde between the .com experience and the shopping experience are usually due to context vs. function. Consider the glossy magazine-type experience that marketers produce to romance customers to the functional, dry and inflexible catalog experience customers encounter when they decide to buy.
There's no doubt that a compelling and consistent customer experience is a competitive advantage. In fact, the customer experience may be one of the last and most appealing ways to differentiate a brand in the marketplace. Unfortunately, most companies' content and digital technology doesn't empower the optimization of experiences and brand consistency to improve relevance, revenue and profits.
Removing the Friction
What's needed is a way to competently sync and manage digital customer experiences across channels and devices to build engagement that directly contributes to revenue generation.
If only it were as simple as optimizing the technology that is already in place. Customer preferences are challenging marketers and e-Commerce teams to transform the experiences they offer, but technology is often the culprit compounding the complexity of the problem.
To transform customer experiences, companies need to think differently about how they approach technology. It's a given that the volume of content is increasing. The use of dynamic content based on the context of the customer will need to be addressed to provide the personalization needed for smoothing channel progression and eliminating the confusion and friction that cause abandoned carts.
Responding faster — closer to real time — based on customer behavior also requires a certain level of independence from the IT group. As marketers and e-Commerce teams become more adept at identifying online opportunities, they need the capability to act more quickly to facilitate better experiences that pay off.
Of course, change is never easy and managing the effort to unify the customers' shopping and brand experiences will require a concerted effort. Making this easier are collaboration and workflow tools that expand visibility to teams that will now work effectively together, rather than in silos. Restructuring for centralized control, while allowing for local autonomy, is also conducive to faster adaptation to change.
The Need for a Single, Compelling Destination
Bringing together Web Content Management (WCM) and e-Commerce platforms will help eliminate the friction through integration that allows both marketers and eBusiness teams to achieve their goals in concert. A single destination will create unity for engagement and product content that results in a more contextually relevant and compelling experience for your customers. Orchestrating the progression between the discover, explore, and buy stages will help both customers and companies to meet their objectives — without undue friction that can derail efforts on both sides.

Storgt. 55 N-0182 PO Box 4674, Sofienberg
Note: It is the responsibility of the hotel chain and/or the individual property to ensure the accuracy of the photos displayed. Travellerspoint is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the photos.
Anker Hotel is located a mere ten-minute walk away from Karl Johan, Oslos main street. Just outside the door youll find a bus stop, tram stop and taxi stand enabling you to get to all parts of Oslo.
Our hotel has 264 rooms, all with a shower, toilet, telephone and TV and in-room movies. There is also a working desk and free wireless Internet.
Our cosy lobby bar is a popular place to meet for refreshments before or after activities. Our restaurant is also a good place to begin the day with breakfast.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I didn't know what I expected from this hotel, but was very impressed. It is rated 3 star, but deserves more. Staff were so helpful and kind and courteous. The breakfast provided was amazing! The bed was so comfortable that I really didn't want to be leaving just yet. I also had a great view of the city from my room. The bus was just outside the door, so was hassle free to get into the city. Central Station is not too far and there was a taxi stand just outside as well. I have recommended this hotel to others when they plan to travel to Oslo. For Norwegian standards, this hotel was a great bargain.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
this hotel was like youthhostel.. ..
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
in a relatively good location, very close to the tram and bus station although it doesn't take more than 10 mins to reach the heart of oslo on foot. the price, expensive for my standars, was cheap for norwegian standards. asking a few people about where they had stayed in oslo, i realised that this hotel was much better in terms of price. the staff were very helpful and spoke excellent english (like most norwegians) and there was a huge buffet in the morning from where you could choose from a large variety of foods and eat as much as you wanted. the room was medium sized (the decoration was quite basic) with a nice bathroom (very clean) and a very comfortable bed. the view from the 5th floor, where i stayed, was pleasent looking at the main road but also at the canal that is very near the hotel. generally i was pleased with the hotel which, i emphasize, for norwegian standards, was good value for money.

Brett Lee's over to Piers Morgan was sporting comedy of a high order with a salutary lesson for us all. We are not the sporting equal of those who play top sport - we just think we are.
Most comedy is built around character and Morgan certainly qualifies as such. That doesn't mean you have to like him any more than you have to like a character in a film or a novel.
Justice Brian Leveson, who conducted the inquiry into the British media following the Millie Dowler scandal, described Morgan's evidence to his inquiry as ''utterly unpersuasive''. He said Morgan, a former editor of the News of the World, knew phone tapping was going on but thought it was a joke.
In the build-up to the showdown with Lee, Morgan portrayed himself as the embodiment of English pluck and valour, even summoning the spirit of Winston Churchill.
In 2009, however, when French soccer player Thierry Henry handballed Ireland out of the World Cup, Morgan spoke just as passionately "as an Irishman". His birth name is Piers O'Meara.
What Morgan has is front. Since going to the United States and becoming a television talkshow host, he has also endeared himself to me slightly by taking on the gun lobby. Indeed, if there's one thing he doesn't mind, it's having enemies (perhaps that is the secret of his success).
Here, for example, is his far from neutral or guarded description of renowned hard man, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane - "a humourless, nasty, violent, foul-mouthed, selfish, disloyal thug who injures opponents, walks away from his country in the middle of a World Cup, abuses all and sundry, and resides on a Citizen Kane-style pedestal of egotistical, lonely, unjustified self-adoration."
But it also has to be said that the most amusing account of Morgan's humiliation by Lee was written by Morgan (in the English Daily Mail). It quoted a text his sister sent him saying watching the over was "like watching a public stoning". It was.
Morgan also informed us that the night before he faced Lee, he received a piece of batting advice from no less an authority than Vivian Richards. Richards said: "'Give him the charge first ball. He won't know what's hit him.''
That, I would humbly suggest, was spectacularly bad advice. Reading it, I wondered if Morgan had ever watched Fire in Babylon, the documentary about the great West Indian team of the 1970s and '80s in which Richards was a central figure - in particular, the hell their fast bowlers unleashed after England captain Tony Greig said he was going to make the West Indians "grovel". Thirty-odd years later, one of Michael Holding's overs to the balding, unhelmeted English opener Brian Close is still frightening to behold.
There is a fellowship among cricketers. The thought crossed my mind: what if Richards had friends in the present English team? The ones Morgan has relentlessly ridiculed and belittled. Indeed, what if Richards was a friend of Keane's or one of the countless others Morgan has offended? (On an English soccer blog, one person had written of Piers: "I would rip my own teeth out in the absence of anything else to throw at him.")
Lee is like a pit bull with hair gel. He admitted later that when Morgan charged the first ball, "instinct kicked in".
Morgan's courage was not totally pure because he also veered out of the way. Lee saw where he was going and hit him regardless. Morgan finished with a broken rib, bruised hip and wrist, plus an egg on the back of his head courtesy of the warm-up bowler. The next night, by his own account, Morgan went to Shane Warne's for a barbecue and met "Ian Botham who found my battered appearance hugely amusing. 'Any reason you didn't use your bat?' asked 'Beefy'."
Beefy is a close friend of Richards'. Of course, I'm not in a position to say that Morgan was set up for a crude practical joke, but I do know a lot of people who play combat sports get mighty sick and tired of having their courage questioned by people who have never shared the experience in question - in this case, facing a genuinely fast and mean-spirited bowler.
Morgan said the English players weren't standing their ground against Mitchell Johnson. He would. He didn't. The moral of the story applies to all sports in which fear is an active ingredient.
When I go to the footy, I always want to sit on the fence. I want to feel the pace of the play, the power of their collisions. Only then can I begin to appreciate the skill and daring of the players.
We go to top sport to see people perform feats that are beyond our powers. To presume we are their equal in this regard, to presume we have the courage required when we do not know the magnitude nor the nature of the courage required is, as Morgan so gallantly showed us, the act of a fool.


text: Air curtain: Berner International October 6, 2014 No Comments Berner International Corp. has introduced a patented Venturi-style heater design, which the company says will offer a more aerodynamic, electric heated air curtain with improved air performance efficiency by up 40% The VTH electric heater combines a hemispherical heating element array with an innovative mounting strategy at the blower inlet. The patented design uses the Venturi effect to draw air through the heating element via the blower inlet before it enters the discharge airstream. The discharge airstream velocity remains unobstructed in a near 100% efficient heat transfer, full laminar pattern for an optimum aerodynamic performance. Company officials said that this creates a near perfect environment-separating air seal across any open doorway while providing auxiliary heat, as needed. Read More

BONN (Sep. 24)
A court in the northwest German city of Bremen ruled this week that three Jews assigned to the city as slave laborers for eight months during World War II should be compensated 15,000 marks each – about $9,900.
But the court, in its ruling Monday, sent the case to a federal court in Karlsruhe to decide whether the decision can be applied immediately, or only when formal peace treaties are signed between Germany and its former adversaries.
The former slave laborers who took the city of Bremen to court previously lived in Hungary, Poland and Romania. They had been assigned to construction and cleaning, including removal of debris from bombs.
One of the individuals, LiIa Nemesh, now lives in Ramat Can, Israel.
The accord providing for reparations to Jews who suffered under the Nazis states that any further claims against Germany should be settled only in the framework of a formal peace treaty.
According to observers, this obstacle can be removed by the federal court in Karlsruhe. If the court does so, the three applicants will promptly receive reparations, paving the way for possible similar payments in thousands of other cases.

ok for the price
It's my fault for not correctly reading the measurements, but this step is much smaller than the regular ones you see at the gym. Also the bottom is not slip resistant so I have to use it on carpet. The plus is I can fit this step easily into luggage to take on vacation. I would recommend saving up and purchasing a regular size step.Read More

You get what you pay for!
I bought this step because i needed one in a hurry and it was the cheepest one. Well I should have waited to buy a more expensive one. This one is not big enought for me to workout on comftrable. I cant get my whole foot on the step which is what always needs to happen and it also is not long enough to do some of the moves so i was not able to really push myseld when i needed to for fear of falling off. But at least my daughter can pick up areobics because it is the perfict size for her now only if they would allow 5 years olds in the class to join.Read More
HUGE Disappointment....VERY cheaply made!!!
This product is made entirely out of plastic. Normally, aerobic steps have a rubberized mat on top so when you step on them, they don't make a lot of noise. This one is so cheap that when you do your steps it creaks, cracks and makes a lot of racket. Unless your music is turned super loud, you will get a headache doing your routine with this piece of equipment. I also feel like it's going to topple over so I'm very guarded when I use it. I wish I had bought a more expensive, non-slip coated, brand-name step. Don't waste your money on this one!!!Read More

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/1/2014 (1310 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Despite a setback with its main fundraiser, a basketball tournament to benefit local youth still came together, though without its major fundraising component.
Sean Close was the organizer of the 2014 Holiday Hoops for Hope Basketball tournament and social, hosted at the University of Manitoba's Frank Kennedy Centre and Jan. 4 and 5. Close also plays on the Wahoo men's basketball team, which hosted the event.
"The idea started with just giving us something to do," Close said. "I've also been working with RaY for a number of years so I thought why not make it into something that could benefit somebody?"
RaY, or Resource Assistance for Youth Inc., is a non-profit street-level outreach program for youth up to 29 years old living on the street. Located at 125 Sherbrook St. in West Broadway, Close used to work with RaY in IT support.
"Young kids get kind of lost in the cracks sometimes," Close said. "With me working there, I kind of saw it first-hand. I don't know if a lot of people know about RaY, and I thought this was another way to promote the organization. They do good work."
Close said the tournament went well, and team Buckets won the trophy, but as Close was on his way to the Casa Dos Acores hall (55 Higgins Ave.) to set up for the social, he got a phone call he didn't expect.
"A car took out a hydro pole somewhere on Higgins, which knocked the power for the entire block out," Close said. "I guess I Hydro had been working on it for about two or three hours and no power, and the hall decided to close its doors."
The social was going to be the main fundraiser for the weekend. The tournament didn't raise any money, but Close said in an email that, after paying for the losses for the social, he hopes to donate "a couple hundred dollars" to RaY.
"It was a lot of work, but we don't have any plans to reschedule anytime soon," Close said. "We'll hold any prizes we have left because I'd like this to be an annual thing."

When it comes to planting populations for corn silage, there's no "one size fits all" recommendation. In general, silage yield and fiber content tend to improve as plant populations increase, but recommendations vary based on geography, soil type and the specific hybrid being planted.
"Proper plant spacing is critical for top yield and quality potential," says Terry Helms, customer agronomist for Mycogen Seeds. "Always consult with your trusted agronomic adviser to determine the ideal plant population for your specific situation."
Helms provides these tips to help determine proper plant populations:
- Generally, silage hybrids can be planted at populations 5 percent to 15 percent higher than grain corn hybrids, or approximately 2,000 more plants per acre.
- BMR hybrids that contain the bm3 gene do not need to be planted at extremely high populations. 28,000 to 30,000 plants per acre is desired in most environments. Populations for these hybrids should not exceed 34,000, even with high levels of management.
- Population requirements depend on productivity of both the hybrid and soil. Highly productive soils can support higher plant populations. In lower productivity soils, growers may not see the benefit of increased plant populations.
- Heavier, finer soils with better water holding capacity can support higher populations than lighter, coarser-textured soils. This situation holds true only in nonirrigated situations. Higher levels of available moisture are necessary to realize the advantage of increased plant populations.
- Silage hybrids perform better when planted on highly fertile soils under an optimum fertility and management program.
As plant population increases, uniform plant spacing becomes more critical for plant development and yield potential. Prepare your planter early and check it often during planting for proper seed depth and spacing.

The other day I told a friend that I was embarrassed by how drastically my mood is affected by the weather. She said, "Colleen, literally everything on this planet is affected by changes in the weather. Why do humans think we're immune to it?"
Huh. I never really thought about it like that.
Homegirl here has been a straight up hermit since this weather turned bitterly cold. I'll admit, I'm teetering on the edge of Seasonal Affective Disorder self-diagnosis.
Don't judge me. If you owned the DSM you'd have at least 5 different mental disorders yourself. And so would all your family and friends, byyyy the way.
Anyway, as I was perusing the symptoms for SAD, I was like, Holy shit.
Take a look:
A loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed – Day drinking outside (or you know, even going outside.)
Appetite changes, especially a craving for foods high in carbohydrates – Um. If I could have mac 'n cheese for breakfast, pizza for lunch, Panera's broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl for dinner, and brownies for dessert I'd be SET.
Oversleeping – I want to nap in sweatpants by my space heater more than I'd like to admit.
Hopelessness – IT WILL NEVER BE WARM EVER AGAIN!!!!

text: A.P. Pharma, Inc. (OTCBB: APPA.OB), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced the appointment of Mark S. Gelder, M.D. as senior vice president and chief medical officer. The addition of Dr. Gelder to A.P. Pharma's executive team represents the Company's continued efforts related to pre-commercialization activities for APF530, the Company's lead product candidate for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, if approved. "Mark will play a crucial role as A.P. Pharma's chief medical officer as the organization continues to prepare for the potential commercialization of APF530," said John B. Whelan, A.P. Pharma's president and chief executive officer. "Mark's medical and pharmaceutical acumen is well suited for the work that A.P. Pharma is doing in cancer supportive care. We welcome him to our executive team and look forward to adding his expertise to our pre-commercialization activities." Dr. Gelder, most recently, was the vice president and global head of medical affairs and pharmacovigilance at GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics. During his tenure, he led the global medical affairs strategy, including preparation and execution of medical launch plans. He was also responsible for global Phase IV and other post-approval commitment studies. Prior to GE Healthcare, Dr. Gelder was the vice president, global medical affairs oncology for Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, and was responsible for the global medical strategy supporting the launch of Nexavar®, Stivarga ®, and Alpharadin ® global launch programs. Dr. Gelder was also the global therapeutic area director of oncology at Wyeth, with a focus on the commercial launch of Torisel ®. Earlier in his career, Dr. Gelder held roles of increasing responsibility at Pfizer, working on Sutent ®, and was also a practicing gynecologic oncologist in both the academic and private sectors. Dr. Gelder received a bachelor's of science degree from Colgate University, and his doctor of medicine from the University of Virginia's School of Medicine. "The impact of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting on patient care is tremendous," said Dr. Gelder. "Working in oncology, both on the patient care side as well as working in therapeutic research, has been a focus for me throughout my career. I believe that APF530 holds the promise to help address some of the most severe side effects from chemotherapy treatment, which can help patients adhere to their care regimen."

At the start of the AFL season, the most tentative of parallels were drawn between Greater Western Sydney and Kevin Sheedy's Baby Bombers.
They still look odd, given GWS won't win the AFL premiership this season, but the expansion side could well outdo Sheedy's 1993 premiers in Rising Star nominees.
The award was introduced the same season Sheedy took a young Essendon squad all the way to the ultimate success, with the likes of James Hird and Dustin Fletcher earning Rising Star nominations along the way.
Essendon's five nominees that year is an AFL record, matched only by Fremantle in 1996.
GWS have garnered three nominations after seven rounds, with the latest being Stephen Coniglio for his role in the side's maiden win on Saturday.
Coniglio gathered 31 possessions as the Giants beat fellow newcomers Gold Coast by 27 points in Canberra.
''It's a nice accolade to have, I'm very proud and honoured,'' the No. 2 draft pick said.
''Obviously, there would have been a lot of boys that could have won the nomination for this round - especially a few of the Giants' boys.''
Sheedy hopes Coniglio's teammates are nominated in due time.
''He and our other young midfielders such as Toby Greene, Dylan Shiel and Devon Smith have shown tremendous consistency and maturity for their age and experience,'' Sheedy said.
Coniglio, favourite to win the Rising Star in the AFL's annual pre-season captains' poll, said he'd be happy provided someone from GWS claims the award.
But such individual honours are unlikely to match the feeling his side is still savouring after their breakthrough win.
''Once you win, it doesn't matter what happens individually,'' he said ahead of Sunday's match against the Lions in Brisbane. AAP
