The latest proposal is to define a single netlink msg that can handle two disjoint sets of parameters. If there is no way for further consolidation, it probably makes more senses to have two different netlink msgs, one for each parameter set. -scott

THE MEDIA BUSINESS; $240 Million Publishing Deal Is Set in Italy
By ROGER COHEN
Published: February 15, 1990
In an important consolidation of the Italian publishing industry, the publisher of Corriere della Sera, one of Italy's largest newspapers, has agreed to buy a prestigious Turin-based publishing group for $240 million. The group, Fabbri-Bompiani-Sonzogno-Etas, is currently owned by a financial holding company of Giovanni Agnelli, the chairman of Fiat S.p.A., and his family.
Besides owning Corriere della Sera, RCS Editori S.p.A., commonly known as Rizzoli, is a large publisher of books and the owner of the Rizzoli bookstores in Manhattan. In announcing the purchase, Rizzoli (pronounced ritz-OH-lee) said yesterday that the deal would raise its annual sales by nearly 20 percent, to about $2 billion. Analysts said this increase would make the company large enough to take on its chief rival, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A., which was Italy's leading book and newspaper publisher last year, with sales of $1.9 billion.
During the last year, Mondadori's newspaper La Repubblica, based in Rome, has been in a fierce circulation battle with Corriere della Sera, which is based in Milan. Both have claimed to be Italy's best-selling paper.
Preparing for 1992
The sale also reflects a quest for growth among European media companies as they prepare for the single European Community market planned for 1992. Rizzoli, in which the French publisher Hachette has a 10 percent stake, said in a statement that the sale was completed against the backdrop of ''a European publishing market that is moving towards growing competition between companies of large dimensions.''
Fabbri publishes leading Italian writers like Umberto Eco and Alberto Moravia. Mr. Eco's novel ''Foucault's Pendulum'' has recently been on the New York Times best-seller list.
The company is also a force in educational publishing and reference books and is a maker of videocassettes. Founded in 1947, it was bought during the 1970's by Mr. Agnelli's IFI financial holding company.
Fabbri had sales last year of $335 million. Profits for 1989 were not available, but Virgilio Marrone, a member of the Fabbri board, said earnings would be more than the 1988 figure of $12.6 million.
A Sale in Stages
Rizzoli and IFI said in statements that in a first stage Rizzoli would pay IFI $103 million for 46.6 percent of Fabbri and would oversee the management of the company. The sale of the remaining 53.4 percent would proceed by stages, they said, giving Rizzoli more than half of Fabbri by next year, and complete ownership within four years.
The analysts pointed out that the sale does not take Fabbri out of Mr. Agnelli's sphere of publishing interests, and in some ways amounts to a reorganization of the industrialist's activities in this area. Rizzoli is a company over which Mr. Agnelli has a substantial influence. Fiat owns the largest single stake - 26 percent - in the financial holding company Gemina S.p.A., and Gemina in turn controls Rizzoli, with a 77 percent stake.
In recent years, the Italian press has been largely carved up among leading industrialists: Mr. Agnelli; Carlo de Benedetti, chairman of Olivetti S.p.A.; Raul Gardini, chairman of Ferruzzi Finanziaria, and Silvio Berlusconi, a flamboyant financier, who owns three private television networks. As their holdings have grown, so have charges and countercharges of influence-peddling and political interference. Mr. Berlusconi and Mr. de Benedetti are now engaged in a bitter struggle for control of Mondadori, of which Mr. Berlusconi was named chairman last month.

TAIPEI (TheStreet) -- It's usually just a wishful cliche when businesses cite China as the land of a billion consumers. But early next year, telecom provider, China Mobile will find many subscribers suddenly within reach as it takes a lead in 4G phone services.
China Mobile (CHL) aims to commercialize its 4G telephone services to from Dec. 18 to users whose total number across the country -- all providers counted -- have surpassed one billion following a license from the government, according to local media reports.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave 4G licenses to China Mobile as well as rivals China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU), but regulators haven't yet approved the 4G standard that those two are best equipped to offer. That standard may get the green light mid-2014.
Regulators already allow TD-LTE, a standard in which China Mobile has invested "significant resources," says Jay Jacobs, research analyst with Global X Management in New York.
"China Mobile therefore has the most viable 4G network available off the bat," Jacobs says. "China Mobile is expected to dominate the first six months of the 4G rollout due to their head start with the TD-LTE network. They may achieve huge scale in the first few months that could prove difficult to compete with in the future."
The 17-year-old state-invested mobile provider's first strike in the market, for business and individual subscribers, helps resume the lead in a market it had dominated a decade ago -- before the other providers came along. The carrier has seen market share decline from 74%, five years ago, to 62% today as competitors give better deals to common users, says Mark Natkin, managing director with market research firm Marbridge Consulting in Beijing.

Published on Jan 05, 2016 Editor's Pick As well as being the month for making New Year's Resolutions, January is one of the peak times of year to book a vacation. Travel site Booking.com has decided to combine the two with the Resolution Translator, an online and mobile app that "translates" your resolutions. Simply type in what you want to do in 2016, and the tool suggests a suitable break, although perhaps with a little twist. For example, if you want to get fit, it might suggest a safari in Cape Town to work out those muscles, rather than a running holiday. You can share the result on social media. It's not completely foolproof -- typing in that you want to write a book receives the answer "is napping a hobby too?" -- but it's a fun idea that should at least get you thinking about what kind of vacation you might take this year. Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam created the campaign, with StinkDigital working on the Resolution Translator. W&K also made a movie-style trailer, seen here, to promote it.

This weekend my Mother in Law came by to pick up the Twins for a sleepover at her house. I had made a White almond sour cram cake Thursday so I asked her if she wanted a slice. She said yes and she loved it, so I sent her home with a couple of slices for my Father in Law and her Godchild (who lives with her). Her Godchild (my husbands cousin) is getting married in February. His Bride-to-Be doesn't care what the wedding cake looks like as long as their is pink on it somewhere. She is very easy-going, which is wonderful, but they asked if I could make their wedding cake after they tasted the slice of cake I sent.
At first I said I am only on Wilton Course 2 and I have no idea if I will be able to. If it is going to be a small wedding, and if I am able to, sure, I will make the cake. However, how do I tactfully ask to get reimbursed for the ingredients and materials? I don't mind giving my time since I have never done it before, but to pay for the cake is out of my budget in the foreseeable future, especially since I have no idea how much cake they will need.
Also, if anyone can tell me what the cost of a three tier cake covered in fondant to feed about 100 people would be, I would appreciate it.
I'd say something along the lines of...
"I'd be flattered to create your wedding cake for you, thanks so much for considering me! If it's agreeable with you, I'd like to offer it to you for only the cost of the materials (i.e. ingredients, boards, etc) as my wedding gift to you both. You in turn would have your choice of it's design, flavours, any topper or flowers you're getting from your florist, etc. I'd be happy to organize all the details with you."
You should be very clear that it's not going to be a gift from you. Your time and labor is the gift....NOT the expenses involved. That's a bit too generous from someone who isn't an immediate relative, you know?
As for the pricing, it varies hugely from one city/state/country to the next...but on average I'd say to serve 100 people it would be in the $400-$700 range.
(Does it really even need to feed 100 people? If it's not their main dessert, aim lower for a count. After all that food, dessert, drinks and dancing people start to get really full and are even leaving by the late point in the evening at which cake is served. I'd go for a cake that serves 70 or so.)
I would do like antonia.........maybe even go through your mother in law if she's closer to them.....have her let them know that you just can't afford the materials/ingredients right now but that you would be more than happy to donate all of your time and talent for their wedding cake if they provide either the money necessary/ or the ingredients themselves.
I had someone offer to buy all the stuff (thinking they were gonna get off cheap). for a cake they wanted..they spent almost what I charge for the cake regular price just on ingredients.....they never balked at my prices again LOL

Microsoft Apologizes For Failing To Communicate Windows 10 Anniversary Update Issue With Webcams
(22.08.2016 – tomshardware.com)
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which was the operating system's biggest update since it launched last year, seems to have caused many users' webcams to freeze. The issue comes from a change Microsoft made in how apps can access the webcam video streams, which Microsoft is now saying it didn't communicate well enough.
With Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft allows multiple apps to access webcam streams concurrently. Before, that wasn't possible without hurting streaming performance. Microsoft's Mike M. from the Windows Camera Team said that the change was necessary so things like the Windows Hello webcam authentication or HoloLens would still work even when, say, Skype is running.
To make this possible, the company made it so that the stream goes uncompressed into the app (rather than having each app decode the same stream). Then, the apps can manipulate the data in a way that won't impact the streaming performance of other apps.
Apps that use the webcam would have to support this change, otherwise they would stop working. Apps that only support encoded H.264 and MJPEG formats would freeze users' webcams. This issue seem to have affected millions of users, as one commenter said on Microsoft's MSDN website.
"We have a working product running for years and millions of unhappy users that are unable to use it at all after this update," said "Dacuda," a commenter on MSDN.
"We use the jpeg frames from the camera in order to scan. Our application is not able to use the camera, and our customers are in huge numbers daily complaining since the update was released," he added.
"We are eagerly expecting windows update with a fix for this issue. Please make it with highest priority," he pleaded.
Another commenter wrote :
"After spending days finding a solution we also stuck with the Anniversary update. Thousands of our customers can't use our product now to process their payments by e-banking! We and especially our customers – which are your customers too – are really reliant on MJPEG!! Please fix this issue as soon as possible so our support is not overwhelmed with inquiries all day and we cannot offer another solution than downgrade Windows. Thanks a lot," said Stephen B. on Microsoft's MSDN website.
Microsoft's Mike M. said that the company has been working with app developers since January to implement these changes into their apps. However, even if all app developers implemented the change, it would still be up to users to get the latest versions of the apps. That's why Microsoft apologized for "failing to communicate" the change to users when the Anniversary Update arrived.
"So yes, MJPEG and H.264 being decoded / filtered out is the result of a set of features we needed to implement, and this behavior was planned, designed, tested, and flighted out to our partners and Windows Insiders around the end of January of this year," said Mike M. from the Windows Camera Team.
"We worked with partners to make sure their applications continued to function throughout this change, but we have done a poor job communicating this change out to you guys. We dropped the ball on that front, so I'd like to offer my apologies to you all. We're working on getting better documentation out, to help answer any questions you may have," he added.
Dacuda's comment above makes it seem as if not all app makers were aware of the change. Also, because the stream is now uncompressed, that means more data gets sent from the camera for high resolutions. Because many webcams use USB 2.0 connections, they can't handle that much uncompressed data, so the video data would now be sent at a lower resolution to the application. Before, developers could get high-resolution compressed videos straight from the camera, so 1080p at 30fps recording was possible even over USB 2.0 connections.
Microsoft said that it will offer a fix for MJPEG and H.264 apps soon, but it's not clear yet what exactly these patches will fix. We will have to see if Microsoft will allow the apps to work as they did before in Windows 10, while encouraging developers to transition to the new solution as soon as possible, or whether it comes out with an alternative workaround that can satisfy everyone.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Broke Millions of Webcams, Here's How to Fix It
(20.08.2016 – lifehacker.com)
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update has reportedly broken millions of webcams. If your webcam has been affected, there's a workaround to get it back if you don't mind tweaking your registry a bit.
The problem stems from a change in the way Windows 10 handles decoding certain webcam video streams. Both USB- and network-connected webcams an be affected, freezing the camera when you try to use it and making it impossible to access. If your camera has been affected, you can follow these steps from Thurrott.com contributor Rafael Rivera to get it working again:
01. Open regedit from the Start menu.
02. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform
03. Right click the Platform folder and select New > DWORD. Name it "EnableFrameServerMode"
04. Right-click the new value and select "Modify"
05. Enter "0″ in the "Value data" field.
06. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform
07. Repeat steps 3-5.
For now, this seems to be the only fix that allows you to stay on the Anniversary Update. If you haven't updated yet and you'd like to avoid screwing up your webcam, you can try holding off on the updates. Though given Microsoft's propensity for pushing updates, that may be tough to pull off.

- NFLNational Football League
Change the Super Bowl from Sunday to Saturday!
If it was a Super Saturday, children could stay up to watch more of the game. Home parties would go on longer and people would need more food and beverages. Restaurants and bars would also stay crowded with folks spending money. Undoubtedly, there would be improved productivity in the work place on the following Monday!

(UDF) Sinusoidal inlet velocity in Fluent
Dear friends. I want to use a UDF in which inlet velocity changes sinusoidally from 1m/s to 2m/s in first 0 to 0.1 sec and then decreases back to 1m/s in the next 0.1 to 0.2 sec. And this repetition goes on with time like this. I think it looks simple. Please guide me or send me udf if anyone has. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
You can use the DEFINE_PROFILE macros to define the inlet velocity. Within the macro, make the F_PROFILE variable a sinusoidal function of the fluent variable, CURRENT_TIME which stores the current flow time from fluent. Remember to hook this UDF once you start up fluent.
|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 07:40.

Will I lose my share of my home to Medicaid?
My mother has medicare/medicaid, state of california. We are joint owners of our house. I just found out when she dies the goverment/medicaid will go after her assets, the home being the only thing she has, to pay for the medical expenses they paid. Does this mean I lose my house? I am a co-owner, I make payments on the property, will the goverment take my share of the house and I lose it all? will they make me sell it? I do not own any other property just this house.
Expert Answers
You are in the same position as a lot of folks, co-owning a home with a parent who receives medical or long-term care from Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California). The short answer is that Medi-Cal will have a claim against the value of your mother's estate when she dies, but that it has no claim against your share of the house. (Medicare, by the way, makes no such claims for repayment.)
The basic rule is that Medi-Cal has a right to repayment from the estate of someone for whom Medi-Cal has covered their medical or nursing home or other long-term care expenses after the age of 55. Since most people who qualify for Medi-Cal only have their home as a valuable asset at the time they die, Medi-Cal usually seeks this reimbursement out of the value of the house. The simple idea behind this is that even though someone is allowed to keep their valuable home while Medi-Cal pays their medical or long-term care bills, that person's heirs should not be able to keep the amount of money that Medi-Cal -- and not the family -- paid on behalf of the parent. So, when a Medi-Cal beneficiary dies, Medi-Cal seeks repayment out of the value of the house, sometimes ending up placing a lien on the house.
However, several parts of the Medi-Cal reimbursement rules may help protect your house. First, Medi-Cal can seek reimbursement from your mother's estate only up to the value of HER ownership share in the property. In other words, they cannot touch your share of the house. A big question will be how much of the house is owned by her and how much by you. That will be determined by your ownership agreement and the deed, and on evidence you have concerning who has paid for the house.
When the State of California seeks reimbursement out of your mother's share of the house, it will not necessarily force you to sell the house but will give you some leeway about how to make the repayments. One possibility is for you to take out a new mortgage on the home and use the money to repay the state. Another possibility is to set up a payment schedule that allows you to repay the state a little at a time. If neither of these is workable because of your financial situation, there is also the possibility that Medi-Cal would grant you a hardship waiver that would excuse the repayment of some or all of your mother's debt. If none of these options works, Medi-Cal can place a lien on the house. But only as a last resort -- if no other payment option or waiver is granted -- would Medi-Cal attempt to execute the lien by forcing the house to be sold.

How Do I Get The Design On This Cake
Decorating By Soniabean Updated 12 Jun 2008 , 9:07pm by Soniabean
those are flat rectangular strips of chocolate. A bit tricky if you don't work with chocolate, a lot.
You can do something similar with cut strips of chocolate fondant or even chocolate clay.
They look like chocolate bars because they are so smooth, I think they just placed them around the BC.
I think they look like the bottoms of twix bars around it base. ugggg, having a chocoholic moment! let me wipe off my chin now.
those are flat rectangular strips of chocolate. A bit tricky if you don't work with chocolate, a lot.
You can do something similar with cut strips of chocolate fondant or even chocolate clay.
Yep! It's basically heated chocolate spread on acetate, etc. allowed to cool and then cut into rectangles. But that's a simple version of it. Something like a chocolate wrap but cut.... I wouldn't think it would be too hard and there are tricks to getting around tempering the chocolate although I think tempering it would work the best (it also gives it that shiny appearance).
Also, chocolate does melt so wouldn't want to use it on a cake displayed outside.
ok all these cakes are so yummy. I just want a piece.
You could use chocolate MMF, cut into strips & place on the cake.
They are strips of melted chocolate. In one of the wilton yearbooks, there is this technique described. They have swirled the chocolate using a comb and put the pieces (triangular) on the top of the cake like standing up. This is similar one but smooth.
In case you need the information, it says to melt the chocolate and pour it on wax paper. Cut it into desired shape after cooling. For the swirl, it needs to be done before chocolate completely sets. HTH
Here's a link on how to temper chocolate and why you should....
okay, call me crazy but that looks exactlly like the back of the mini kit kat bars! I saw a baby shower cake made with those with a washtub lines with them...this looks exactlly the same!
Hi, here is a video on how to temper chocolate.
And here is another picture that shows how to cut different decorations with chocolate. Like aswartzw has mentioned, you can use plain acitate to do this, even though that person is using choc transfer sheet.
Thank you all for your help. I was thinking it could be individual chocolate pieces but I was hoping it was a mat since I would like to try the design on a cake I am doing but the person can't have chocolate and doesn't want fondant near her cake. I guess we are going to have move on to design b. You guys rock!!!

Andy Lally puts the No. 27 on outside of row two for second-straight race
BOWMANVILLE, Ontario, Canada (July 20, 2013) – The No. 27 Dempsey Del Piero Racing Tully's Coffee Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will start on the outside of row two for the second consecutive race after Andy Lally qualified fourth in the GTC class Saturday for tomorrow's Mobil 1 Sports Car Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
Lally turned his top time of 1:21.930 (108.048 mph) on his ninth flying lap of the 15 minute session and came up just a few thousandths of a second shy of Spencer Pumpelly's third fastest lap time of 1:21.924 (108.056 mph).
"I think we actually had the setup but I asked our engineer Lars Giersing for a change that I probably shouldn't have," Lally said. "I probably should have left it as free as we had it. We just took a gamble that it was going to get greasy and loose and it just backfired on us. We were just too tight."
While Lally has been racing since 1995 at Mosport – the former name for more than 50 years of what is now known as Canadian Tire Motorsports Park – Dempsey is making his first start at Ontario, Canada's premier permanent road course.
Dempsey ran a limited number of laps in unofficial Friday testing at Mosport but got his first real runs on the 10-turn, 2.459-mile road course in Saturday's pair of practice sessions.
"Today was really good, I got a lot of laps in, close to like 60-plus, so that is really good," Dempsey said. "For my first time here, my pace is pretty good. There are a few places I need to work on but, overall, not bad. It seems to be going really, really well and I am looking forward to starting the race."
A heavy rain storm that hit the Mosport late in Friday's test session brought with it temperatures nearly 20 degrees cooler on Saturday. The hot and slick track that Lally and the team were looking for in qualifying never materialized.
"I had to wait to go to power in Turns 1, 2 and 4 a lot and that probably cost us a front row," Lally said. "I don't think we had a shot at the pole but we had a chance for P2. We are guessing we can get back to where we were right now. We have a few things to look at on the data to make some comparisons but we really should have left it alone for qualifying."

Have You Prayed Today?

Needs lots of prayer. I just found out that another family member of mine passed away last night. He had heart problems and I think failure that he needed a life jacket. But I'm still trying to understand what happened. This is a lot. 3 family members: a parent, a grandparent and parent of my lost parent, and a cousin in less than a year. The family is taking a huge toll right now.10|10|1

@AlphaMale1 No, just the Powers That Br
Answered prayer happens when it glorifies Him. This can happen in a lot of ways. For example, you pray for a person who is dying a horrible death. For unknown reasons the person recovers. If the recovery was from an answered prayer God did it so those who witnessed it would tell many others, which gives God all the glory. Pray with that in mind. It can be for anything as long as God gets the glory. Watch the movie, "Facing the Giants" where a high school team turns to God, gives God the glory if they win or lose and in the end a set of strange and unusual events lead the school's last place football team to a state championship. I know this is a movie. However, this did happen in a high school in Oklahoma where a football coach did pretty much the same thing with his team and they ended up winning the state championship. They gave God the glory. That is how prayer works. And it does work :)

Feeling like summer with Poppy Picnic
I have to admit, I purchased this palette only because of its packaging. This stunning neon floral pattern caught my eye and I knew I needed it to be a part of my makeup collection. That being said I have fallen in love with this palette.
The Tarte Poppy Picnic Limited Edition Amazonian Clay Eye and Cheek Palette is one that should not be overlooked. With six beautiful matte eye shadows and a gorgeous peachy pink blush this palette is perfect for neutral lovers.
Shades in this palette:
- Summer Breeze- light cream
- Sweat Tea- warm tan
- Ice Cream Cone- chocolate brown
- Barefoot in the Grass- nude
- Peach Poppy- pinky peach (my favorite shade)
- Picnic Basket- brown
- Glisten- golden peachy pink
Indoor Lighting Swatches:
Direct Sunlight Swatches:
These are very good quality eye shadows and they blend seamlessly. If you don't already own the "Naked Basics" palettes or something like it, I would highly suggest picking up this palette. This palette is limited edition so if you are interested I would grab it sooner rather than later.
I hope this was helpful and thanks for reading!

Macomb, MI (PressExposure) November 04, 2008 -- Mark Maupin of National Real Estate Network recently visited the showroom of Rock Tops Granite, in Macomb, Michigan. He joined several real estate investors who were looking for quality material to remodel the kitchens and bathrooms in high-end homes they had recently acquired. âInvestors who purchase property in very desirable, suburban areas know they cannot get away with cheap, inexpensive rehab jobs like they do in urban areas,â Mark explained. âI recently met and interviewed Charlie Thiede, of Rock Tops Granite, and I was impressed with the quality of workmanship that goes into the manufacturing of granite and marble countertops. I thought it would be a great idea to take some members of my investment group on a tour of their showroom to learn more about the product and technology they use to measure and cut the granite.â
Mark and the group of investors learned a lot when they toured the 15,000 sq. ft showroom containing over 400 unique slabs of granite and marble. âIt was amazing!â Mark exclaimed. âNo two pieces were the same!â
Charlie Thiede explained, âUnlike Corian or Silestone, Granite and Marble are products of nature, therefore, no two pieces will be the same. Adding a granite or marble countertop to a kitchen is a way to bring Mother Natureâs Art Work into your home. Your unique countertop will be the envy of all your friends and neighbors; yours will be impossible for them to duplicate,â explained Thiede, proudly.
Charlie also showed the group some of their fabricating equipment, explaining, âWe use the latest in computer, numerically, controlled (CNC) technology for a perfect cut with an unmatched polished edge quality. These machines cost between $200,000 and $300,000; therefore, many other fabricators are still using hand routers and grinders to work the edge of the stone. This often takes days, where we can fabricate a countertop within hours. The hand method often creates imperfect and wavy edges, bad seams and a poor finish, where the CNC technology produces a perfect finish every time.â
Charlie explained the many advantages of using granite or marble, including strength, durability and the ability to withstand heat if someone places a hot pan directly onto the countertop. âI donât recommend trying this with artificial surfaces such as Corian or Silestone,â said Thiede. âIt will melt the surface, doing permanent damage. Granite is also resistant to grease or water stains and is not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol or wine; all very commonly used items in the kitchen, and often spilled on the countertop.â
Marked thanked Charlie Thiede for the tour and educational information as he invited him to speak at a future meeting. Markâs group meets the third Thursday of each month in Belleville. âIâm sure a lot of my members will be interested in hearing about Rock Tops Granit countertops.

I find this so annoying like if they have something else to say or something
Most Helpful Guy
I don't know how it's used now, but that used to mean that they weren't done with their message yet. Similar to the IM message "so-and-so is writing a message". Then you just wait until they finish before sending your reply.
If people just send... and don't send anything after, that's seems kinda weird. But maybe it's supposed to mean something.00|00|0

As we think of "ePaper" or "e-ink" we usually picture a small device which allows us to read books during vacation without bringing them in the paper.
Technology is changing which is why the old-fashioned black and white displays that only work with limited shades of gray will go out of vogue.
Color is the new gray, a milestone for digital ink. This advancement caught the attention of Digital Signage industry, too. Therefore, more and more companies that offer Digital Signage solutions resort to large ePaper Displays.
It should be mentioned that today's ePaper monitors are way more than just a 6" eBook screen!
4 characteristics of large ePaper Displays
1. Extremely energy-efficient
One of the main characteristics of large ePaper Displays is their energy efficiency. Compared with conventional LCD-monitors you save up to 99% of the energy required before. Especially when it comes to information boards there are many potentials.
Those Digital Signage solutions are mostly used in hospitals, museums, supermarkets, as well as in light rail traffic. The reason for its energy efficiency is simple: Power consumption shuts down as soon as the image is pictured onto the display.
By this technology, it is even possible to run those screens on battery or photovoltaic cells. Sounds like a nice feature!
2. Rugged shell but still flexible
Most of their components are made of synthetic material. Therefore the devices are highly weatherproofed. Besides, they are really flexible in their shape. Features which are gladly seen when it comes to outdoor Digital Signage projects. By that, different designs can be realized easily. On top, your installation will resist any kind of weather.
3. Nice readability
According to their past (eBook), those screens convince insofar as readability is concerned. Just remember: That was the original idea behind this technology. A display with no backlight, delivering the same readability like a printed page in a book.
Even under the condition of incident solar radiation they still generate a useful image. The Reason for that is a resolution of 150 dpi for monochrome and color monitors. Just keep in mind: This resolution is great but cannot compete against images created on an LCD screen.
4. Viewing angle
Another important fact when it comes to Digital Signage applications is the available viewing angle, the more the merrier! A larger radius allows viewers to see a clear image from several positions.
That increases the perception of your installation. Large ePaper displays enable an 180-degree angle horizontal and vertical. Yet another "check" on the pro- ePaper-display-list!
Digital Signage on the road
There are more than the reasons mentioned above that lead to an e-ink display solution. In Europe, certain laws restrict using outdoor Digital Signage installations.
Those rules broach the issue of creating electromagnetic fields as well as the use of photometric constructs. Conventional LED and LCD screens create an electromagnetic field.
Besides, those monitors are considered to be a photometric construct which is also forbidden, especially on the road.
Big ePaper displays are not restricted by those laws. Why? They run by a different technology. They do not produce light on their own which allows them to be used in this sector.
RoadAds, a German company came up with an idea to use those monitors on the back of trucks. Therefore, they designed an installation of two 4×4 ePaper screens. The result: A rolling commercial and infotainment system.
The difference lies in the detail. The content can be adjusted according to the actual position of each truck. To do so, the information gets transported by an online platform onto the screens.
With the help of GPS, the position of the vehicle can be determined down to an accurate range of 16 feet. This feature enables to place local advertisement just in time. For example, a local retailer could inform customers about his daily offer shortly before the truck runs by the exit to his store.
If you think bigger, international companies could adjust their ads as the vehicle crosses a border and the language changes. At the same time the rugged shell approves car wash without getting damaged, so you can keep your truck nice and shiny.
The course is set: In June 2017 the first monitors will be seen on the German Autobahn.
A colorful future for large ePaper Displays?
Until now, the market did not generate large ePaper color displays. But the demand exists. The crux was to keep the energy efficiency as well as the picture elements during the technical implementation.
So far colors were generated by filters laying over the black and white layer. The problem: Those filters reduced the quality of the image. That influences the out coming design.
By now a large 32-inch ePaper display entered the market. This screen is able to reproduce 42.000 colors. Colored, electrically charged particles that float in liquid, create the image. The highlight: Energy efficiency stays low. In comparison: LED screens offer the full range of 16.7 million colors.
If or until this technique will take roots in Digital Signage sector it will be a long road to go. There is still a potential for improvement, especially for the definition of images as well as for moving images.
Besides those screens do not work during night time as long as no external source of light is included. But one thing is for sure: Large ePaper displays are a great niche product, particularly when legal restrictions disable other technologies.

Their kids are more likely to be criminals or not ecomoically productive due to lack of moral upbringing and positive influences when they were growing up.
Do you think single-parenthood lead to break down of social cohesion?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
Stats please! Those are some mighty claims you are making...
I believe that it can contribute negatively to the kids depending on how the split is handled. Kids who are raised in an environment where they are used as pawns in a constant battle between the parents are going to have issues, same with kids who have a parent walk out on them, or kids who witnessed abuse before or after the split. But kids whose parents decided they weren't right for each other and participated as partners in a joint custody relationship or single custody with frequent and respectful visits are probably gonna be just fine.00|00|0
"As supported by the data below, children from fatherless homes are more likely to be poor, become involved in drug and alcohol abuse, drop out of school, and suffer from health and emotional problems. Boys are more likely to become involved in crime, and girls are more likely to become pregnant as teens."
- Show AllShow Less
there's more to that the key part here is that the child is brought up disadvantage from the lack of a parent and when you have less extended family support from grandparents there is little help for the single parent the fight gets too much for them
I would have thought given the coverage on this in the news that it is common knowledge by this point that a healthy two parent family is better than one parent/single mom. A very quick google gave many results, here are the first two.
What Guys Said 2
I don't see how "moral upbringing" could be a problem. Why should a single-mom be less capable of doing a good job raising her children than two people? There are many single-moms out there who do an amazing job and there are many parents who raise their children together and do a lousy job.
However, I do think poverty is a big problem for children of single-parents. But that is also partially a systemic problem that could be combatted by the politics and society. For example society should admire and compliment single-parents for their efforts rather than stigmatize them. Employers shouldn't refuse jobs to single-moms just because they're single-moms. And of course we should get rid of the crazy discrimination that a single-mom earns less money for the same job than her male coworkers. On the political level, the government could alleviate the danger of poverty of single-moms and their children by giving them financial benefits to be used specially for the upbringing of the children.00|00|0
when you factor in thongs like single mums hitting their kids because they brake down when mounted with huge stress from being over worked and running he households.
this is one example
See but that is what I was talking about above. I don't think single mothers (or single fathers) hit their children more than couples do. I think this is something one first would have to prove with a representative research. Of course single parents experience more stress but the question is really: how do you deal with stress? Even though couples might experience a little less stress, raising kids can generally be stressful. Yet, the vast majority of parents (both single parents and couples) DON'T hit their children. Also, I think the idea of single-parents hitting their children might be a social problem rather than one that is related to single-parenthood. Because working class people who have grown up with different notions towards physical violence than middle or upper class people are more likely to become single moms, it's possible that they hit their children more. But like I said... this is something one would have to prove first.
I see your point I had that in mind before, but my case is there is enough research to prove that single parent children are disadvantage and as a consequence project that into wider society as in anti social behaviour and such.
Even though objectively looming at it its not their fault for being raised in such conditions.
Yes, I think this is a huge problem. In the US the single mom phenomenon is making its way out of the hood and into the middle class.
Women are then left raising the kids alone and are in poverty a lot of the time. The grandparents of the woman have to pick up the slack from the loser father which hurts them too. The child gets hurt the most.10|10|0
that is why in nearly every society through out history there has been regulations to procreation to curb on children born to an environment where they hamper societies growth.
- Show AllShow Less
yes true if you look at the long term consequences you could say that its akin to a civilizations suicide if you let this spiral out of control
The children of the single mom should fail in comparision and therefore be a deterent to women to go down that path but the government will step in and subsidize them finacially but not completely and not on the emotional side of having afather influence and a nuclear family dynamic. Darwins Law for human society will be impeded and fray a child rearing model that has been highly successful for our species.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) June 19, 2013
Making an affordable payment plan with the IRS may have just gotten harder. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), according to a June 12, 2013 report by Accounting Today, says that the "IRS Needs Better Controls over Partial Payment Agreements"(accountingtoday.com/news/IRS-Needs-Better-Controls-Partial-Payment-Agreements-67079-1.html?ET=webcpa:e7234:429118a:&st=email). Taxpayers who have been counting on leniency may find that it costs more paperwork and time to see if they even qualify, says Sherri Gastelum of Platinum Tax Defenders.
The Accounting Today article pointed out that there have been significant gaps in IRS dealings with payment plans, according to the TIGTA report issued on May 6, 2013 ("Controls over Partial Payment Installment Agreements Can Be Improved")(treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2013reports/201330040fr.html). Out of 100 randomly picked payment plans, TIGTA found that IRS officials didn't always completely review the required financial documents when creating an agreement with taxpayers, or have the taxpayer's situation reviewed every two years. Over 50% of the files didn't show a complete "manual review", which is supposed to happen if there's a possibility of financial improvement for the taxpayer. A specialist with Platinum Tax Defenders said that this unfavorable TIGTA review might encourage the IRS to "crack down on payment plans, once people get a raise or finally get hired."
Of course, Accounting Today indicated that TIGTA may be concerned about the opposite problem, that maybe taxpayers don't really have the money for the amount specified in their agreements. Sherri Gastelum says that the IRS idea of an affordable plan and the taxpayer's idea of an affordable plan may be quite different, which is why a tax resolution services or tax relief firm might be able to shed light on what can work for both sides.
Also, no one is immune to pressure. While the TIGTA report notes that the IRS says "limited resources" will keep it from reviewing currently not collectible (CNC) files to get back some of the $60 million that taxpayers may be able to pay, resources can be renewed. According to a May 16, 2013 Fox Business article ("The 2014 IRS Budget: All About Compliance")(foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2013/05/16/2014-irs-budget-all-about-compliance/), the $600 million increase in the IRS budget in 2009 was meant to increase auditing and collecting efforts, and the IRS has requested another $1 billion in funding for 2014. Some of that would pay for over 4,500 extra IRS staff members. That might mean shorter hold times on the phone, so that payment plans can be reached, as well as more enforcers "to identify and contact non-filers".
The Platinum Tax Defenders website shows a successful negotiation track record with the IRS, due to the work of Sherri Gastelum, attorney Dustin Wetton, and their team of Enrolled Agents, CPA's, and tax specialists. In Simi Valley, California, Sherri is President of Platinum Tax Defenders and the National Association of Professional Women, and her business experience is used on the Entrepreneurial Institute's board. Platinum Tax Defenders can represent clients' state and federal issues, due to the Enrolled Agents' presence, and tax attorney Dustin Wetton's J.D. is useful for tax law questions.

Don't forget to keep your fondant away from any light while storing and up until you plan to display the cake, as red (and colors with red e.g. pink, purple, orange) has a nasty tendency to fade. Also on the flip side of that, at least with BC it takes 24 hours for the red color to fully develop so the not-quite-red you get today could be brilliant red by tomorrow. (Is this true for fondant too?)
Yeah, i have also heard that you need to let the red set for a day or so before adding more red to it.
I find painting fondant in red or black a real pain!!
I never used Americolor althougha lot od people here seem to really like it. In any case, i can only find Wilton's gel paste round here.
americolor will be worth the time, effort, shipping, etc. it takes to get it....
it's neater/cleaner, you use less, and it simply works better....even if you don't completely convert, at least start with red/black-the two colors that are the hardest to color....
You can also start with orange - this helps.
I have never really had much trouble making red fondant but I use Americolor super red and let it sit.
