Samsung Brightside ReviewSamsung Brightside
Relying on a BREW-based interface, it's simplistic enough for even a toddler or older adult to actually navigate – so yeah, it won't take a rocket scientist to comprehend. Once the handset is unlocked, its grid-like main menu is there to instantly get us into its host of functions. Although there are some transition effects in place, it's undoubtedly bland by today's standards. Aside from that, its performance is tolerable enough to accept, as it maintains a consistent movement with most things.
For still shots from its 3.2-megapixel camera, we're rather forgiving with its quality – though, it's not something we would use to make 4" x 6" print outs. Sure, it takes some decent looking pictures outdoors with perfect lighting, but with low lighting shots, its deficiencies are blatantly exposed with heavy evidence of artifacting and graininess present. However, we absolutely would not recommend shooting videos with this one – since it has a maximum resolution of 174 x 144. Details are non-existent, but it's even made worse by its distorted audio recording and slow 15 frames per second capture rate.
Internet and Connectivity:
For a feature phone, we're undeniably grateful to find Opera Mini preloaded – thus, presenting us with an acceptable web browsing experience. Of course, we can overlook its somewhat lengthy load time, since we're able to peruse even our own web site with minimal frustration.
Graced with 3G connectivity, it's not surprising at all considering we're talking about a feature phone here. Just like any other CDMA-only device on Big Red's lineup, this won't work abroad.

LMAO! 100 dollars on a freaking 2 year contract? Are you kidding me? I wouldnt buy this for 100 dollars prepaid NO CONTRACT. WTF VERIZON!?!

i agree with you, this is a new low for verizon, the motorola citrus was cheaper than this thing

First, this is not a smart phone. It's a basic phone with no data requirements. For what it is, it does a great job.
Pros: Compared to other touch screen phones I've used, this one is way faster and has a nice, responsive screen. But it lets you have the best of both world with its slide-out QWERTY. And yes, you can use the touch screen simultaneously with the slider. You can customize the home screen as far as which icons you want displayed. Threaded texting is huge for me, a feature missing from a lot of other basic phones. The camera is not awesome, but is among the best for current basic phones spec-wise. Support for external memory is a huge plus. The music player accepts a good deal of formats, so I can just drag and drop songs from iTunes right into my phone.
Cons: Customizability is somewhat limited, though I don't agree with some of the other reviews that say it isn't customizable at all. It would've been great to have Bluetooth 3 (this one still utilizes 2.x). Another feature that would've been nice (but again, this is a basic phone) is an accelerometer (i.e. when you turn the phone sideways, the screen flips to match your orientation). The "document reader" looks nice on paper, but doesn't perform well at all -- very slow and unresponsive. However, it's not a feature I see myself using. Ever.
If you're like me and don't want to pay the $30/month for data, but you want a nice big screen and a slide-out QWERTY, this is one of the best out there right now. Keep in mind, though, that it's not a smartphone. Don't expect the moon for features. It's a wonderful upgrade from my LG Cosmos.

Thank you! This was very helpful. So many reviews are comparing this to a Smartphone. Those looking at this phone are those looking for an upgrade from the typical basic flip phone or slider. My son has an LG Cosmos and we were debating between upgrading to the Cosmos 3 or trying this. Nicer camera and bigger display.

the cell phone department in staples has it for 20 dollars with 2 yr. that isnt a bad price for a media phone like this
4. nb2six (Posts: 298; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
They put the hefty price tags on these devices to get folks to go with the smartphones. Granted why would you get a feature phone from a VZW store to begin with when you can go to a Target, Best Buy, or Staples as mentioned above and get the device for next to if not nothing when you upgrade. It's basically how things are going anymore in the phone world. They can drop the prices on the smartphones because they are raking in an additional $15-$30 bucks more per month off of them than they do off of the feature phones.

Also keep in mind how expensive a contract for a data plan really is: 30 dollars a month x 12 months = $360 a year! That far exceeds a 100 dollar this phone with a modest plan for talk and text. Hey there's a reason people are buying tablets: smart customers unable to afford the plan buy nexus 7s and such. I think this is pretty cheap and its better than the 80 dollar Samsung intensity 3 that is even worse of a phone than this. Seriously, not too bad. Idk why all the awards keep panning this device. I use it and am perfectly happy, bought for 30 dollars @ staples
5. frazier2127 (Posts: 3; Member since: 08 Mar 2012)
you can get this for 30 bucks at best buy with a 2 year contract. much more worth it. kinda sad they arent putting the same effort into feature phones as they do the smart phones
6. TBURN (Posts: 1; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
To me the Brightside is a total winner. Why? When looking for a feature phone for some family members on Verizon the options were terrible. I looked at the smartphones, but each user would have to pay an extra $30 a month for data which they wouldn't use. Over 2 year contract that is $720 per person!
Then the Brightside came out and has a lot of great features for a feature phone, without the data plan premium.
This phone is not a great smartphone, because it isn't a smart phone.
But it's an awesome feature phone and even has a dedicated camera button. Picked up 2 at BestBuy for $30 each. The $100 Verizon store price is steep for this phone, but worth it because it is one of the only good phones available through verizon without a data plan.
7. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
you do know that $30 times 12 doesnt equal 720 right?
8. Habib (Posts: 114; Member since: 26 Feb 2011)
Its 2 year contract not 1 year :D!
its $30x24=720

11. thatjackal (Posts: 15; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
I'm pretty sure Verizon prices these phones so high simply to encourage people to go Smartphone. Eh, why not?
12. jtc8008 (Posts: 11; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
Phonearena Lost me as a reviewer follower. 2/10! That would mean the phone pretty much doesn't work. This phone is 29.99 at Radioshack and Best Buy. Not $100, you would be a fool to buy directly from Verizon. This phone is one of the best non Smartphones out there. I personally have a smartphone but take a look at non smartophones for other lines on my account that don't need web access. This phone is cheaper than 9/10 smartphones upfront and $30 dollars a month cheaper. Very poor review. I would look for a new job because I will no longer take any review scores seriously from this web site!

More like "Look on the Brightside, after 20 months, ANYTHING will be an upgrade over this piece of crap."
14. HNL13 (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I don't understand why just about every "pro" reviewer compares this
phone to smartphones. It's an apples and oranges comparison. Someone
looking at this phone does not want a "cheaper smartphone," because the
DATA PLAN is the issue, and none of these supposed "expert" reviewers
seem to get that.
If you are going to compare it to something, compare it to similar
FEATURE phones, such as the LG Extravert. DON'T go telling people to
get a smartphone just because it seems cheaper. That "cheaper"
smartphone is going to cost $360 MORE each year in mandatory data
Learn some math!

17. jcsmom71 (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)
I just ordered 2 of these from Walmart. The cost of 2 phones + shipping came to a grand total of $0.00. Now that's a deal!!
18. XKaileyWinsX (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 Mar 2012)
I'm having quite a few problems with my Brightside, also. It shows that it's charging when it's not?! It shows that I have 2 new messages or 4 new messages, when all of my messages are READ?! At first I thought that this is an overall good phone, but this is making me think otherwise.
20. russkaren (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
I have had this phone for four weeks. The person I am calling always complains that they hear an echo from their voice, especially on local calls. I tried removing the battery for 10 seconds and then reprograming through the Verizon *228 number but it is still a problem. The same problem exists on the 2nd Brightside phone we got for family use. I like most of the features but the touchpad is very "touchy".
22. thereferralnetwork (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Apr 2012)
Thanks for posting this. I just received my THIRD brightside because of ECHO issues and this one is doing the same thing! I'm so angry. Even when I turn the earpiece down to it's lowest setting they can still hear themselves echoing. I can't hear it, but all of my callers can. It's maddening because I run a business with this phone (sad I know, but I hate data phones) ... they (verizon) are trying to make me feel like I'm the only one with this problem! I'm calling today and getting a completely new phone. They should call this phone "dark side".... it's evil!
21. melandsky (Posts: 1; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
I guess i'm a dummy I fell for the comcast price but I like the phone I've had it for about 3 weeks it does have some quirks though It turned into spanish and no one at verison could figure out how to fix it . I eventually figured it out Now I can't get any of my pics stil can't find out how to fix that. I've been looking on the net and came upon your site
23. russkaren (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
we were excited to get our samsung bright sides, but at first use we had problems with echoing. We took out the batteries and re-inserted them. We did *228 and restarted them many times. We took them back to the kiosk where we purchased them and were told they hadn't received any complaints about echos. But everyone we conversed with on our bright sides complained. We couldn't have a conversation with family or friends for almost a month while we kept "trying them out to see if it continues".
Finally we went back and traded them for LGs. First call to my daughter, she exclaimed "you got a new phone". We could converse again.
Don't believe how wonderful the bright sides are. They look good, but I want a phone I can use.
24. GenevaBroadband (Posts: 1; Member since: 31 May 2012)
I just did a software update on a Brightside that was having terrible echoing issues and it seems to have cleared it up. Updated to software version 380.FD03.
25. DrDinTN (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
I needed a REPLACEMENT PHONE as I had a lightening strike & my Samsung U-540 was plugged in. I was going to buy the convoy, but would like to start texting.
I am in a family plan with a friend. It is like pulling teeth to get someone to sell you a replacement phone, they want you to sign a NEW contract.
Anyway, the best prices that I found were at Sam's Club. Bought the "Brightside" based on recommendations, but before I activated it, I called Verizon & the lady said they had a lot of recalls & problems & when I read reviews, they were told by Verizon that they were aware of the problems & because they were working on them, they would NOT replace their phone!!!!!!!!!
I asked the lady from Verizon what was a good phone... And basically, THE VERIZON REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT RECOMMEND A GOOD PHONE.... even though she had no problems with hers. They are coming out with new phones too fast that are not well tested.
And once you get a phone, they don't give you a NEW phone, but a "refurbished" phone... Cell companies are the only people that I know who can get away with this.
Oddly, my old phone has great ratings. Could probably buy one off eBay for $30-40, but would not be easy to text with.
So, what is one to do?
Can anyone give me some sites of people/companies who are unbiased & will compare phones????????????????? PLEASE.
I doubt that I will be getting a smartphone yet, as I had one that I didn't use & the primary person on our family plan had a DROID II which, as the Verizon people told him, "WAS POSSESSED", so he started using mine, which had not been used at all for over a year & a half.
Please help me! (Money is an issue, but my insurance will pay for a "comparable phone".

The review badly misses the point of the phone by focusing on the up-front cost. You have to include the (lack of) cost of (not) paying for a data plan for two years.
I and many others do not need or want to pay for a data plan but do want the touchscreen and basic user-interface perks of all the smartphones that require one. Good for Samsung for providing a product for this market segment that is sorely underserved by companies trying to tie data plans to a particular phone design and form factor, thereby locking people into greater expense over the life of the phone.

I did not like this phone. It was too sensitive meaning when I took it out of a pocket. it would try to connect to the internet, sometimes just picking it up connected to internet.
The one I had had a corrupt micro card slot. I was so miserable with the phone that I got rid of it and got another one that is not nearly as sensitive to touch.
What a bunk phone...what a joke.

After having been to Bali several times before ths was our first stay in Sanur. We decided to stay at the Besakih beause of the location and the reviews. We were met at reception by Sri and found her very efficient and quite helpful.
The layout of the grounds is quite nice with 2 pools, one with a swim up bar. They are not big pools but do the job well . This suited us as we dont like the big resort feel. The restaurant faces the beach with some dining on the beach. The beer is cold and the food is tasty and cheap enough. Breakfast was cooked well and the coffee very good.
The rooms are big enough and clean. The only criticism is that in the bathrooms there is obvious signs of age. Tiles replaced and the grout is not a good match. Bit of grime in some corners, however overall not too bad.
The location is excellent. Just walk out the front and you are on the beach front walk way. This is much better than the Tanjung Benoa / Nusa Dua one. For the most part it is flat and tree covered. There are lots of good places to eat and some markets nearby. Hardys shopping mall is a 10 minute walk.
Overall we liked it and would definitely stay here again

Q. You just finished a practice. How are you feeling? NA LI: Feeling? Feeling good. More quiet in here because many players left already. You know, first time to be the final, of course exciting.
But I didn't have the experience be in final, so I don't know.
Q. Is it a lot of fun? Are you enjoying the moment or getting very nervous?
NA LI: I enjoy it, yeah.
Q. You are the first east Asian player in the final of a Grand Slam. I am Japanese. But as an east Asian, I am very proud and happy for you. Could you talk about what kind of impact you are going to make in east Asian countries, and talk a little bit about what kind of impact you get from Japanese players such as Kimiko Date or Ai Sugiyama?
NA LI: Of course, I excited I can be in final of the Grand Slam. And also I still believe in Asia they still have a lot of good player. Like I was young I watched Kimiko play. Yeah, now I have the chance to play against her like same tournament.
Also, yeah, I mean, all the Japanese player was fighting a lot on the court. This is what we saw in all the world, so…
Yeah, yesterday I just win the match, went back to the locker room. I turn on my phone. A lot of messages coming. I think the match they show same time in China, so many friend to watch. They just say, Congratulations, something.
Yeah, my best friend just called me. She's cry on the phone, you know. I was like, Okay, take it easy. What you want to say? Just calm down. She was like (simulating crying). I didn't know what to say.
I was feeling maybe amazing day for the friend, for my family, for me.
Q. How many messages?

Biologists Seek the Words In DNA's Unbroken Text
By NATALIE ANGIER
Published: July 9, 1991
AMERICANS are generally inept at foreign languages, but they have a particularly hard time mastering Chinese and Russian. Many Chinese say they feel the same about English, while even the most nimble European polyglot may be stymied by the intricacies of Navajo.
But for biologists, no language is more complex or more daunting than the language of the DNA molecule: the genetic instructions inscribed in every cell that tell a young body how to grow, an older body how to survive, and a fertile body how to reproduce.
Now, in an effort to decipher the great helical string of biochemical letters that makes up the book of life, a handful of particularly imaginative biologists are applying the techniques of linguistics to the study of DNA.
The scientists are approaching genetic sequences as though they were lengthy passages written in an archaic and largely unfamiliar tongue, borrowing methods from the linguist's tool kit to find a bit of order amid apparent biochemical babble.
Assisted by the most advanced computer programs, researchers are poring over strings of nucleotides -- the subunits of DNA that are the molecular equivalent of letters -- in search of patterns that tell them where to find the "words," the critical regions of DNA that instruct the cell how to make proteins, how to cleave down the middle or otherwise comport itself.
The words being analyzed are very short segments of DNA, about three to five nucleotides long, but the patterns are distinctive enough to help reveal where the most provocative genetic information is buried, like the commands for amino acids from which proteins are built.
"Nucleotide sequences are like messages written in a certain language," said Dr. Edward Trifonov of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. "This analogy was so attractive to us that we started trying to analyze them like a language. And our first question was, 'Where are the words?' "
Dr. Trifonov, who is perhaps taking the specialty farther than anybody else working today, compares genetic sequences to ancient languages like Hebrew, Etruscan or Latin.
In those languages, texts were written in an unbroken fashion, with no spaces separating one word from the next. Similarly, the DNA molecule, as it sits in its densely packed configuration in the cell, is constructed of an unbroken string of billions of nucleotides, with no apparent pauses between the end of one word indicating, say, one bit of a protein, and the start of another amino acid building block.
"In ancient languages, writing was the privilege of educated people, who didn't seem to feel the need to put blanks between their words," said Dr. Trifonov. "Apparently nucleotide sequences don't need blanks either."
The run-on nature of genetic information makes the task of decoding the sequences particulary difficult, but Dr. Trifonov and others are starting to see the sort of literary devices that DNA prefers. They are starting to figure out how to discriminate between passages of the DNA molecule that do rank as genuine words, and the much longer intervening stretches of nucleotides that do not seem to encode useful information and that some biologists dismiss as "junk DNA."
They are finding that the most telling regions are those with the most intricate and varied of phrasing, while the intervening and least informative sequences are as random and repetitive as might be a series of keystrokes typed by an infant.
With their fresh approach, scientists are learning to categorize genetic sequences into categories like commands for protein subunits, commands for turning genes on and off, and the recipe for how the DNA can fit neatly into the cell -- much as linguists divide words into nouns, verbs and modifiers. Using linguistic analysis, researchers say that they can examine a modest sample of DNA from any organism and quickly identify the creature of origin. "For example, if a virus integrated its genes into an animal, in principal you could detect that piece of DNA as foreign by saying its vocabulary is strange," said Dr. Trifonov.
Scientists can even detect sequences that are the molecular version of curses: groupings of nucleotides that are only rarely encountered because they seem to jeopardize the structural integrity of the DNA molecule. Compiling Geneticists Write A Dictionary
Dr. Trifonov and Dr. Volker Brendel, his former student and now a research associate in mathematics at Stanford University, have gone so far as to give the language of the genes a name and to write a DNA dictionary, listing important genetic sequences and what they mean.
After holding a competition at the Weizmann Institute, the researchers decided to call the language "gnomic," for reasons both staid and playful. For one thing, they said, it is the language of the genome, which means all the genetic material harbored in a cell's nucleus.
"Drop the 'e,' and you get gnome," said Dr. Brendel.
But they also named it after the mythic gnomes: small, misshapen beings who dwelled in the earth and guarded its treasures.
"The gnomes wrote with silver pens at moonlight, in secret scripts," said Dr. Brendel. "It was a perfect name."

Three-Month Average Volume: 435,466
Volume % Change: 50% >>5 Stocks to Watch for Breakout Trades From a technical perspective, PRAA jumped higher here and broke out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $53 to $54.62 with above-average volume. This move also pushed shares of PRAA into new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. If this breakout holds, then shares of PRAA could be setting up to trend significantly higher. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in PRAA as long as it's trending above Monday's low of $52.71 to $52 and then once it sustains a move or close above its new 52-week high at $54.93 with volume that hits near or above 435,466 shares. If we get that move soon, then PRAA will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $60 to $65.

Wireless power transmission coils
Smart charging on the go
Wireless charging now promises to finally free mobile devices completely from their last cord – something that is sure to please smartphone users. TDK has developed ultra-flat power transmission coils that meet the most demanding Qi specifications of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).
The transmission of electric power without wires or connectors is already widely used in many products such as toothbrushes, LED candles, remote controls, medical equipment or induction cooktops, where it has proven to be reliable and convenient. Up until now, however, wireless charging systems were designed for a particular product or application and could not work universally for a wide range of devices with different sizes and shapes. Users now demand that charging stations will work universally with products from any manufacturer, and will work with next-generation models as well.
In the future, users of mobile equipment will be able to use their devices without being concerned about battery consumption because universal wireless charging will be available in multiple locations nearly everywhere they go. Currently, more than 120 companies worldwide are participating in the WPC to create and promote the standardization of wireless power transmission. Based on WPC's Qi specification, TDK has developed new ultra low-profile wireless power transmission coils, which enable standardized wireless charging of mobile devices. TDK's vision is that of a completely flat surface that can charge any device that complies with WPC specifications, providing an easy-to-use charging platform accessible just about anywhere.
Basic principles of wireless power transmission
Electromagnetic induction is the most widespread method of wireless power transmission and is based on the principle of transmitting and converting the magnetic flux (Figure 1). Here, the magnetic energy is transmitted from a primary coil (Tx coil) to a secondary coil (Rx) by the electromagnetic induction between them.
One technical challenge encountered in wireless charging is aligning the Tx and Rx coils for the most efficient transmission of power. Mechanical positioning aids such as a device holder or similar construction had to be avoided in order to enable the design of universal charging pads for devices with different sizes and shapes.
The WPC has proposed and specified three positioning methods for achieving optimal charging coil alignment:
- Guided positioning with a magnet at the center of the Tx coil and a magnetic material at the center of the Rx coil (Figure 2)
- Free positioning with a moving Tx coil able to detect the position of the Rx coil
- Free positioning with selective activation of one of multiple Tx coils in a coil array that is closest to the Rx coil
|Figure 2: Guided positioning with a magnet
The WPC has adopted a certification system that verifies mutual operation of the Rx and Tx sides for the above alignment methods. As the Rx coil certification cannot be acquired unless the coil operates properly for all Tx types, TDK has designed an actual Rx coil unit which gives the user the most flexible and easy-to-use solution. This is achieved by placing a magnet at the center of the Tx coil and a magnetic material at the center of the Rx coil.
|Figure 3: Magnetic flux between the Tx and Rx coils
The magnetic sheet challenge
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, although the guided positioning method has a simpler design on the Tx side, it requires considerations for magnetic shielding.
When designing an Rx coil for the guided positioning method as described above, a magnetic shield is essentially required in order to prevent high-frequency magnetic flux (exceeding 100 kHz) generated by the Tx coil from reaching the aluminum battery case and producing unwanted eddy currents that are converted into excess heat.
The material and thickness of an Rx-side magnetic sheet, therefore, must be designed so that it does not reach the magnetization saturation point. In this case, magnetic flux from the magnet will pass through the Rx-side magnetic sheet (Figure 3). This will become the magnetic bias component and will be magnetized to saturation if the magnetic sheet is too thin, causing the inductance of the coil to decrease significantly. In this state, normal wireless power supply operations are not possible – a very complex design issue that TDK has resolved based on its extensive experience in this field. This includes magnetic materials technology and process technology, winding pattern technology expertise gained through the manufacture of a wide range of coils, as well as magnetic circuit design technology.
TDK coil design
The ultra low-profile wireless charging coils developed by TDK meet the most demanding specifications set by the WPC, taking into account the evaluations or designs described above (Figure 4). TDK's smartphone receiving coil unit, which is installed in the smartphone to receive the magnetic flux for charging, employs a proprietary flexible thin magnetic sheet, achieving an industry-leading thickness of only 0.57 mm. Development of a 0.50 mm type has also started to enable even slimmer charging designs for smartphones. At this point, output current is on the order of 0.5 A to 0.6 A, but an even thinner 0.50 mm type with equal or better output current is already in development, with a view towards starting mass production in 2013.
The development reflects TDK's extensive expertise in fields such as magnetic materials technology and process technology, and involved the creation of a unique, extremely thin and flexible metal magnetic sheet. As a result, the coil unit is not only ultra thin and lightweight, but also highly resistant to shock, therefore providing excellent reliability. TDK will continue to offer low-cost, high-performance, high-reliability products and comprehensive solutions that achieve all of these requirements, so as to contribute to the development and universal use of wireless charging power transmission.

Future benefits for designers
Wireless power isn't just about freedom from power cords and convenience; it also changes the way manufacturers can design devices. Eliminating the power socket is a major step toward a sealed and even thinner smartphone that's waterproof and dustproof. Such a device would at the same time be more reliable and rugged, and it would not need a flat edge to mount the power socket on.
The availability of wireless charging everywhere would further allow designers to consider smaller batteries because users would be able to simply top up their battery charge as needed.

Communicate, motivate, collaborate
The pilot's mantra
Airline pilots are taught the mantra 'Aviate, Navigate, Communicate'*. It stands to reason that they are there first and foremost to fly the plane and keep it in the air. Secondly, they need to navigate the plane to the target destination, and then to communicate with those who need to know what the status is, how the flight is progressing, any issues and so forth. For those interested in the eloquence of this, three is the magic number of literary composition**.
The project manager's mantra
Now what about when it comes to project work? I suggest an alternative mantra:
'Communicate, motivate, collaborate'
The first thing to do is to communicate. Project planning requires communication, risk management requires communication, issue resolution requires communication, stakeholder management requires communication. As project managers it can't be denied that excellent communication skills are essential and we must use them.
Next the team needs to be motivated, to have drive and determination. If they do not have fire in their belly, it needs to be lit. John Kotter says 'Establishing a sense of urgency is crucial to gaining needed co-operation'***. Let us inspire, encourage, embolden, and fire up the team to deliver.
Collaborate means to work together. Having communicated what needs to be done, motivated the team with the desire to deliver, we collaborate together, to complete the work successfully.
Conclusion: three powerful words
'Aviate, Navigate, Communicate'
Project managers
'Communicate, Motivate, Collaborate'

Agility to succeed4 October 2016
Agile refuses to analyse requirements beforehand – and thus declines to provide an initial certainty. This will probably always scare any stakeholder trying to understand whether or not they can show results to the board with the budget that they are granted.
Are you banging the wall rather than beating the drum?4 October 2016
You have a choice. You can either muddle on, stand firm and fix it – or look elsewhere.

This is something I've always wondered would extroverted guys prefer to date and extrovert or would they like introverts better to create balance?
Most Helpful Guy
Guys and girls both seem to subconsciously go for extroverts simply because they are more valued by society. However, introverts usually dont have a problem with talking to one person at a time. When they have to talk to more than one at a time then thats when they have a problem.. Shy girls are cute, but confident girls are hot. So play to your strengths!
If you are an introvert, be cute and usually go for other introverts. If you are an extrovert, be aggressive and go for either basically. Introverts might put up more resistance for an extrovert though.00|00|0

In the year 2000 a Japanese zombie action epic called Versus exploded onto the scene, thereby putting director Ryuhei Kitamura on the map of just about every horror fan who knows their stuff. Now he's ready to give us Westerners a Versus of our very own!
Butane called in from Fantasia with this report:
Kitamura just announced that he's working on an American version of Versus. He just finished a draft of the script and will do one more to polish it up. It's going to be a few years before it's made, as he's doing an action film first, but he stated, and I quote: "The US Versus will be insane!"

Following the biometric data capture exercise of civil servants in Nasarawa state, no fewer than 1600 ghost workers were on Wednesday discovered by the consultant handling the verification exercise across the thirteen local governments and eighteen development areas of the state.
Executive director of Skye Bank Plc, the consulting firm that carried out the exercise, Mr. Idris Yakubu, disclosed this to journalists shortly after presenting the final bio-metric report to Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura at the Government House, Lafia.
Mr. Yakubu revealed that after the exercise only 58,000 both workers and pensioners were discovered to be authentic persons on government pay roll.
He, however, affirmed that if the report is properly implemented it would go a long way creating job opportunities for the teeming youths in the state as well as aid government to embark on meaningful projects that would enhance living condition of the citizens.
"During the exercise we were able to recover over N83m monthly and if government will implement this it will also run into N990m yearly" he said.
The state governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, who received the report, thanked the consultant for their commitment and doggedness in ensuring that the exercise was a fruitful one, even thay executed it as one of their corporate social responsibilities.
His word:"Despite the challenges faced because of its complex nature, you were able to come out with a comprehensive report. We are most excited especially as the submission came at the period where digitalisation through Bank Verification Number (BVN) and Treasury Single Account (TSA) would aid the state government in checks and balances that are required."
"With this report Nasarawa state government is indeed equipped with detailed report, which will checkmate wastages and corruption that bedeviled the system in the past. I assure you that the report will be immediately looked into and full implementation will soon commence," he stated.

Its been 3 months i've been on it and no luck. Earlier this week I signed on with a different advisor (my usual one was on holiday) and she recommended I do work placement. I signed the paper and she told me to bring it to the lower floor to this lady who would show me what was available. She seemed pushy, but mentioned that working for the British heart foundation ( volunteer work i guess) would look good for employers. I went to it the next day, but it was not what I had in mind (Keep in mind im a graduate of Audio engineering, and active so my social skills are not any different as they were when I was employed). The people barely spoke English and they seemed like the really loner types, not to mention it was mainly older men working there. I called my advisor as he had come back to work and explained it to him and he seemed to understand. I have my usual appointment with him next week. Am I going to be sanctioned for this? I had to tell the charity shop that this was not best suited for me. I felt as if it would only dumb me /slow me down rather than test my skills or be a challenge (it was really quiet, not busy at all).
Anyone here from the UK familiar with the Jobcentre?

Brothers charged in bridge theft
October 17, 2011 by staff
Brothers charged in bridge theft, Pennsylvania's two brothers have been accused of stealing a bridge and the piecemeal sale of a junkyard.
Police say Benjamin Arthur Jones, 24, and William Alexander Jones, 25, of New Castle, Pennsylvania, dismantled a 40 for a 15-foot bridge with a blowtorch to remove parts. Between 16 and September 28, 2011, the brothers stole all the bridge and then the steel sold for 5,000 y.
The owners rarely used bridge that spanned a small stream, finally realized missing and notified police, according to State Police Trooper individual Randolph, who investigated the theft. Scrap yard employees helped police bring the neighbors.
The bridge was once used to access a manufacturing of fireworks, but no longer used regularly. It was owned by the New Castle Development Corporation, located in a wooded area in North Beaver Township, police said.
The brothers face charges of serious crimes such as intentional crime, theft, receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy, and are being held on bail and 25,000.

text: Download Every walk of life is being fundamentally transformed by software in ways we could have never imagined even a few years ago. In the convergence of a host of powerful new technologies and concepts – from artificial intelligence to design thinking, from deep analytics to ubiquitous authoring – we now see an amplification of our potential, our intellect and our collective imagination and creativity. This empowerment is helping us deal with two complementary themes that are the very essence of future opportunity, the first being the renewal of the known – bringing massive, transformational improvements to existing systems and experiences and bringing more and more innovations through automation, repeatability and AI to known things, and the second is a simultaneous focusing of our creativity and imagination on the unknown – completely new kinds of next-generation solutions that solve new kinds of problems and create value in new ways. This transformation, from atoms to bits, will continue to grow, create exciting new avenues for new, unprecedented experiences, and empower all of us to look at the world in entirely new ways.We see there are three dimensions to our 'Being Digital' – the economics, the engineering and the experiences.When it comes to economics, in the world of atoms, we are accustomed to a natural value chain – that's prevailed over the centuries – connecting the producer to the consumer. At each step, between the producer and the consumer, there are intermediaries that add specific value but also bring in complexity and create partitions within the chain. This leads to a fundamental delay in the matching of supply and demand; in matching the visibility of what-is-needed with what-is-produced. This inevitably also creates an inefficiency in pricing. But in the world of bits where the makers of products and providers of services can reach end customers directly, there is no longer a raison d'être for intermediaries, and this has ushered in greater efficiency across industries. Bankers can conduct their business directly with those seeking financial services, without having to sustain branches staffed with a dozen tellers and support staff, musicians and writers are free from the tyranny of publishers, distributors and even the stores. And several more such examples abound. Producers can finally reach customers – in the digital world - as easily as they did in the natural value chain but without having to deal with the intermediaries that don't always add enough value. There is a much closer matching of demand and supply, the production of goods is more streamlined – and in the very near future will become instantaneous.The second dimension – that of engineering – deals with the making and enabling of this disruption. This is largely driven by the hardware revolution governed by Moore's Law which causes processor speeds, or overall processing power for computers to double every two years. And this incredible improvement in price-performance will continue unabated in the foreseeable future. We can therefore work this incredible and burgeoning compute power into our plans and strategies and work it to our advantage. On the other hand, computer chips and the underlying transistors are shrinking in size making it increasingly easier for sensors to be embedded into the very environment we operate in. This is making our world pervasively digital.All this enables us to create and enjoy both immersive and immersed experiences. We can completely rethink almost everything we experience – the way we learn, the way we shop, the way we connect and communicate, the way we avail services…all of this can all become immersive - based on pervasive digital technology. New immersed experiences can also be created by digital innovations like the edible sensor which, for example, when consumed as part of prescribed medication can help healthcare professionals track patients' adherence to their medical regime. My sense is that a new economic reality is upon us, where across industries we can see a more agile and responsive connection between production and consumption, enabled by technology, and it is up to us to create this new reality.Undoubtedly, the digital revolution has changed our context.We can already see that in younger generations, there are now deeply held assumptions and convictions about the ways in which we work, interact, consume goods and services and communicate. Let us embrace these changes and in fact surpass these expectations, and bring new kinds of products, services and consumption models forward. All of you are looking at these trends and these new assumptions amongst your customers, your partners, your end-users and consumers.The digital transformation opens our imaginations and creativity in new ways, changing the context for all of us. This new shared context changes the ecosystems in which we operate and connects us in new ways I believe that together we can discover and scale these new frontiers, learn in new ways from each other and create a great shared future. A future where we are both visionaries and beneficiaries, and more relevant than we've ever been. It would be the beginning of a human revolution. I look forward to learning more about your ideas about digital transformation and how you see this unfolding for your organization. Download article

Intermodal leads the way for June 2013 volumes, says AAR
Intermodal loadings in June continued their strong momentum at 1,009,387 trailers and containers, which represent a 1.3 percent—or 13,393 units—increase. The AAR said the weekly intermodal average of 252,347 in June now stands as the single highest weekly intermodal average for any month in history.

The theme of mixed volumes remains intact based on data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) for the month of June.
June carloads—at 1,136,719—were down 0.3 percent—or 3,819 carloads annually, according to the AAR. And ten of the 20 commodity categories the AAR monitors saw annual gains, with petroleum and petroleum products up 31.7 percent—or 13,329 carloads—and crushed stone, gravel, and sand up 12 percent—or 9,293 carloads.
Intermodal loadings in June continued their strong momentum at 1,009,387 trailers and containers, which represent a 1.3 percent—or 13,393 units—increase. The AAR said the weekly intermodal average of 252,347 in June now stands as the single highest weekly intermodal average for any month in history.
"Intermodal rose in June for the 43rd consecutive month, setting a new volume record in the process," said John Gray, AAR's Senior Vice President of Policy and Economics, in a statement. "Generally, the fall is the peak period for intermodal, so it wouldn't be surprising if further intermodal records were set in the months ahead. Large declines in grain and coal held down June carloads, but some of the more economically-sensitive commodities like autos and crushed stone were up for the month."
The surge in intermodal is not entirely surprising, given the years-long trend of domestic freight converting from truck trailers to containers on rail; truck trailers can be double-stacked, which makes them more cost-efficient and effective.
While it has been largely noted that domestic intermodal gains have occurred due to lower fuel costs, improving service, and major investments into rail networks, among others, it clear that intermodal is taking share from over the road trucking and will continue to be an area of secular growth for railroads.
But while the growth rates are impressive, industry experts maintain that these strong domestic container intermodal volumes are due in large part to freight coming out of intermodal trailers into trailers or from one box to another, coupled with the fact that the gross number of intermodal loadings—both domestic and container—were higher in 2006 than in 2012 as was gross GDP and industrial production.
What's more, during that same period the number of truckloads moved and truck tonnage volume is larger than intermodal.
Brooks Bentz, a partner in Accenture's supply chain practice, recently told LM that rail carload, coupled with intermodal, is a powerful alternative to over-the-road trucking, given the issues of congestion, infrastructure condition, capacity, as well as the cost of fuel.
And Tony Hatch, principal of ABH Consulting, explained that intermodal "is in the early-middle innings of a secular shift from truck to rail, as evidenced by domestic containers' growth performance from the Great Recession through today."

China's plastic bag ban needs better enforcement
- Written by Trina Tan Ker Wei
CHINA – In the five years following China's implementation of a ban on ultra-thin plastic shopping bags, consumption of such packaging has reduced by at least 67 billion bags, or the equivalent of six million tonnes of oil, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
China banned the production, distribution and use of plastic shopping bags thinner than 0.025 microns in supermarkets, department stores and grocery stores from 1 June 2008.
Li Jing, vice chief of energy-saving and environmental protection department under the NDRC, the government economy agency working directly under the State Council, said that since the ban was implemented, usage of plastic bags in general has dropped by more than two-thirds.
He also noted that retail outlets have distributed 67 billion fewer plastic bags – the equivalent of one million metric tons of plastic.
However, the International Food Packaging Association said that the ban has not been implemented effectively and thoroughly enough, and ultra-thin plastic shopping bags are still being used in China.
The Chinese association conducted a survey just prior to the fifth anniversary of the ban and visited 10 chain supermarkets, 10 open-air traditional markets and three wholesale markets.
In its survey report, the association said that in general, supermarkets are adhering to the legislation. All supermarkets surveyed provided plastic bags for a fee, but only four chains provided bags equivalent to or thicker than 0.025 microns.
In contrast, all open-air traditional markets, wholesale markets and roadside stalls visited provided plastic bags for free, and only one out of the 10 open-air traditional markets provided plastic bags thicker than 0.025 microns.
"Ultra-thin plastic bags are very likely produced by illegal manufacturers with cheap recycled plastics and pose heath risks to consumers if they are used to contain food," said Dong Jinshi, deputy director of the International Food Packaging Association.
Calling on the authorities to strengthen its supervision on the manufacture and sale of plastic bags to ensure ultra-thin plastic bags do not enter the market, Dong added, "Moreover, the government can preferentially encourage enterprises to improve research and development into more environmentally friendly policies, such as tax reductions."
Acknowledging ultra-thin plastic bags are still in circulation and that some retailers still offer free bags, Li Jing said the government would tighten supervision and better enforce the ban in the future.

White Sox starter Jose Contreras recorded his 12th consecutive win on April 29th. Maddux has received a lot of attention, but Contreras has been the most valuable pitcher in the majors so far this year. He has posted a miniscule 1.45 ERA, while going deep into games. Three times he has gone eight innings, once he went seven, and only lasted six in his first start of the year. Like Maddux, the HR ball has not been an issue, as Contreras has only allowed two dingers. The main reason Contreras probably won't be able to keep this up is his low K rate. Contreras has only struck out 17 in 37.1 innings, which means he is relying a great deal on his defense and luck. However, if the White Sox can maintain their impressive defensive, then he has a shot to keep on being the ace. Still, Contreras has not allowed more than 2 runs in a single start this year, while lasting deeper into games than Maddux, putting less strain on the bullpen. If I were voting for an MLB Cy Young to date, then Contreras would have my vote.

|Re: Jackrabbit configuration
|Mon, 23 Apr 2007 16:34:16 GMT
Hi Brian, See this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-599 for a proposed solution to this, namely to allow inheritance of workspace config from the repository config template. This supports the use cases where a single database is used to store all workspaces, so there is no point in being able to configure each workspace independently. There's a patch attached to the issue that allows this to be turned on (although it's against an older jackrabbit version, so it's probable it'll need updating to work against the current version). Unfortunately at the time the patch was proposed there was no interest from the community, so it was never committed. Perhaps if you vote for the issue, someone will look at it again? :-) Cheers, Miro

A TOPLESS woman ran through a department store to catch a Peeping Tom who allegedly shot video of her trying on bras in the changing room.
Jeanne Ouelette, of Kansas City, Missouri, said she was not thinking about anything other than retrieving the culprit's phone and deleting the images of her.
"I just screamed and chased him topless through the store," Ms Ouelette told KCTV. "I know I shouldn't be chasing someone ... I was just enraged. I was at a store in a very private place, and I was enraged and I wanted to get the phone."
"Common sense took over and said, 'You shouldn't go outside half-naked,'" she said. "At that point, I just started crying because I was so upset that he was getting away. When you feel violated, what you really want is for justice to be done."
Ms Ouelette didn't catch Jeremy Bradley but police did about three blocks away from the Kohl's department store.
Mr Bradley faces up to a year in jail and a $US2500 fine if convicted.
Ms Ouelette says she believes the man is mentally ill and requires treatment.
