Brain implant allows paralyzed ALS patient to communicate
medwireNews: Researchers have developed a brain implant that has enabled a paralyzed, locked-in patient with late-stage amyotropic lateral sclerosis to communicate through a speech computer using her mind.
Electrodes implanted over the motor cortex pick up brain signals when the woman attempts to move her right hand to type letters on a computer screen. These are received by a transmitter placed subcutaneously in the left side of the thorax which then transmits them wirelessly actuating a speech computer.
In the 262 days following surgery, the patient received training with the device and after 168 days started to use it at home multiple times a week with minimal assistance, correctly communicating 89% of the time.
The mental effort required improved from an initial rating of 5, on a scale of 1–5, to a mean of 2.8. And while spelling initially took 52 seconds per letter, this improved to 33 seconds per letter with word prediction.
Satisfaction levels were high and similar to those with an eye tracker, with the added benefit that the system could be used outside, where lighting conditions can sometimes make eye tracking impossible.
"These results show that the system is capable of meeting the requirements for independent communication," conclude Nick Ramsey (University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands) and co-authors in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Factors that may limit its use by certain patients include cortical damage, cognitive impairment, and unsupportive caregiving.

Here's my two-cents... take it or leave it.
Basal Thermometer -- can be bought pretty much anywhere and it'll say on the packaging "basal thermometer." Some people DO use regular thermometers. The only difference is that a basal thermometer reads temps to the nearest 1/100 of a degree. Standard thermometers read to the nearest 1/10. Some will say the accuracy of the basal is necessary to get a good reading, others say you'll get a good enough idea of your pattern by just seeing the reading of a standard thermometer. So really... it's up to you and what you want to do.
I've been charting (temp, CM, & OPK's) for two cycles -- on my third right now. So in the whole scheme of things, I'm pretty inexperienced. But my first cycle, I had a pretty near perfect O -- temp increase 3 days after, positive OPK a day before, very fertile CM. I thought I had it MADE. Last cycle, though... my O was anything but normal... shoot, I'm still not even sure I DID O. What I'm trying to get at is that it's HARD at first, and it obviously takes time and lots of charting to see a clear pattern and get accustomed to listening to your body and it's signals. So try not to get too frustrated if you still don't get clear answers... and PM me anytime because I was so stressed about it that I'm pretty sure it's what caused me to be 5 days late!!!
Now, as far as what to put more weight on: +OPK or EWCM... I don't get a lot of EWCM, so I put more weight on +OPK's. I think you kind of have to look at everything as a full picture... if things don't match up, I'd look at CM since it's coming from YOU... there's no chance of false positives, faulty batches, ya know??
Anyway... just my thoughts. I'm sure other lovely ladies will give their input and maybe be more helpful!

text: We're in-between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays (in the U.S.). Many of us (today being Black Friday) are a bit gorged on turkey, trimmings, and pie. Quick question: What's your all-time favorite pie(s)? This does NOT have to be Thanksgiving related. Since picking just one can be difficult for some, let's say you can pick up to three. I'll start: 1.) Pumpkin. 2.) Banana Cream. Picking between these two are tough for me. But these are the two I'd pick above all others. This thread might just give me some ideas about what pies to have on hand for around Christmas! Although I think the rest of my family should like pumpkin and banana cream, too!

If you love Christian historical fiction, I'd also recommend Francine Rivers, Gilbert Morris, and Brock and Bodie Thoene (och, the Zion Covenant and the House of Winslow series are phenomenal!). There's also a short little four-book series by Susan Downs and Susan May Warren called The Heirs of Anton which is pretty fabulous, too. Oh, and Judith Pella's "Daughters of Fortune" series. And Liz Curtis Higgs' "Lowlands of Scotland" series!
Och, I'll shut up now.

I'm reading "The Road," by Cormac McCarthy, which has, literally, no names. Luckily, I'm also reading "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley. It's not really my favourite genre, but it's quite interesting. It's set in the future, so there is a very interesting style of names:

Auto Damage Appraiser
Determine the cost of repairing damaged cars for insurance reasons.
As a Quantity Surveyor, you create budgets and schedules for the various parts of a construction project. The Quantity Surveyor keeps up to date with industry labor expenses, are familiar with supply and delivery costs, and negotiate contracts with everyone from subcontractors to suppliers. In addition to creating budgets and working out timelines, the Quantity Surveyor also makes sure the project adheres to company policies and governmental building codes.
This job keeps you hopping from one area of expertise to another. For example, you might start the day by analyzing supply lists, looking for ways to save money on different supplies, suppliers, or delivery schedules. Over lunch, you might weigh the costs against the benefits in an effort to evaluate whether the project could be done on time and within budget. Before heading home, the Quantity Surveyor might write a report that outlines research, calculations, and recommendations for the project.
Your days are a whirlwind because you're rarely focused on just one project at a time. Files, phone calls, emails, memos, and texts correspond with several projects simultaneously, so be sure to bring your organization hat to work each day. In addition to organizational skills, you'll also tap into your decision-making capabilities, your ability to read and comprehend blueprints, your time-management skills, and your capacity for communicating with workers, suppliers, management, and other members of the construction project team.

Bootleg Theater Presents
Dear Nora - Mountain Rock vinyl reissue show
Tara Jane O'neil, Stephen Steinbrink, Aaron M. Olson's Musical Tracing Project
Bootleg Theater - Bar Stage
2220 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA, 90057
This event is 21 and over
Dear Nora is a passionately celebrated recording project fronted by Katy Davidson, touring in support of the re-issue of the 2004 LP, "Mountain Rock", released on by Orindal on Dec 9th, 2016. Katy (also known for her work with Key Losers, Lloyd & Michael, YACHT, and Gossip) wrote "Mountain Rock" during the time of George W. Bush's early presidency, the 9/11 attacks, and the beginning of the Iraq war. She recorded the majority of the songs during winter in rural Arizona at the end of 2003, after returning home from a tour of Sweden. "Hey Ya!" by Outkast had just been released and it was playing everywhere. Overall this album is about bliss and terror, and how interactions with wilderness and humanity can provoke those emotions.
Tara Jane ONeil is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and visual artist. She creates melodic and experimental music under her own name and in collaboration with other musicians, filmmakers, and dancers. As a solo artist, TJO has released 7 albums internationally. She was a founding member of Rodan and several other bands, and has collaborated on recordings and stages with musical artists such as the groups Little Wings, Papa M, Jackie O MF, Lucky Dragons, Mount Eerie, Mirah, Michael Hurley, Marisa Anderson, and many more. In addition to rock clubs, galleries and DIY spaces all around north America, Europe, and Japan, she has performed at All Tomorrow's Parties, the Centre de Pompidou, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Musuem, TBA festival, High Desert Test Sites and countless others.
Her new self-titled album will be released by Gnomonsong records April 21, 2017.
Stephen Steinbrink is a 27 year old songwriter and recording engineer born and raised in the arid desert of Arizona and currently floating around the western USA, dividing his time between the green spaces around Olympia, Washington and the concrete flats of Oakland, California. Having spent the better part of a decade touring North America and Europe, Stephen has established himself as a capable and prolific wielder of the pop form, both with his simple heartbreaking lyrics that explore the banal and absurd, to his melodies that can be instantly recalled — as if they've already lived a full life in the listener's head.
Beginning his career in the mid-2000's as a part the west coast DIY underground, Stephen Steinbrink has gone on to relentlessly self-produce 8 LPs of pop music. His breakthrough album, Arranged Waves was recorded in Steinbrink's home studio and was released by Melodic (US/UK) and P-Vine (Japan) in 2014. Praised by the NME and the Guardian, the album explored themes of lost images and repressed memories, conditional reasoning and Zen Buddhism, but ultimately expressed a human vulnerability in its recording quality that makes the album both perplexing and compelling.
Steinbrink's new album ANAGRAMS was recorded by Nicholas Wilbur (Mount Eerie, Hungry Cloud Darkening) at the legendary UNKNOWN in Anacortes, WA, and will be released by Melodic and P-Vine in summer 2016.

Like you make the most beatiful statue, but dress it in a horrible gown. An example would be Valvrave, Gundam 00 (season 2, but especially the movie),...
Also, there is the case of good material source but bad anime adaption, like Black Bullet (Light Novel) or Blazblue (Video Game).

Or an idea would lookd good on paper, but just turns horrid when it gets on the screen. Some series have episodes like that were the idea seems good if you read it out, but once it gets done you realize you can't make it work in the medium you are producing.

The "Execution" Effect (Oct 20, 2012)

Still can find some enjoyment if you look hard enough in such series though albeit it were quite shallow. At least they were not shows with banal concepts with banal execution e.g. Oreimo S2. Those are the worst kind of shows. I was a masochist for finishing that...

For SAO, at least I can talk about how a group of people forcibly made to interact in a dangerous virtual environment would develop their form of culture and society. Or the nature of existence, and how relationships can form outside of "reality", and that they are just as meaningful. Or maybe how people deal with death, especially how it can descend upon at any time and they are forced to take a gamble to survive constantly. Sure, everyone acts retarded, faces are frequently distorted, and the solutions it provides are juvenile at best but at the very least they touch upon things that can be traced back to human action and nature as opposed to a Victoria's Secret catalogue. Though Inori wouldn't really qualify for that.
In any case, regardless of you liking it or not-- I personally did not like most of it-- SAO did have a number of concepts that stood out. Denying it would be dishonest. Guilty Crown despite my hyperbole wasn't devoid of anything of value, though it's a big stretch to call any of its concepts great. While both of the shows definitely rest in my trash bin, I have a easier time defending one over the other.
Though go Tsugumi the catgirl and that asstight outfit! She deserved a better show!
I realized you talked about something else, but I failed to register a thought on it.

In light of the points above, I want to add that all works arguably have flaws. But, "good execution" isn't a purely objective thing either, because there are different ways to appreciate an anime, and they can be weighed differently. For example, I would describe SAO as a heavily-romanticized show that explores some interesting concepts/ideas, and that really appeals to me personally. I thought the execution of the premise in that light was excellent. But other people approach the work from a different perspective, and were hoping for something less romanticized and more... perhaps "tactical", or arguably "grounded". So when you start analysing the story purely on its technical plot execution and tangible internal logic, there are a lot of unanswered questions and arguable logic holes that seem puzzling and not clearly explained -- not to mention that the plot seems to venture into territory that don't seem to really build on that tactical/practical angle and so may feel out of place, at least at first. In many cases you an intuit an answer to fill in the blanks, but some people see this as a poor realization of potential. So when people see that it had a premise that could have been explored in certain ways, but took a different path that wasn't as effective in their opinion, they may argue the show had "poor execution" -- for various reasons, it didn't live up to its promise in their minds. But that's a bit of a different angle then if you're talking about things like the art/animation, voice acting, music/sfx, and overall presentation -- which are also "execution", but perhaps not quite as subject to massive difference in perspective (since they're often easier to measure objectively).
In the end, to answer the OP's question most directly, talking about "Execution" is basically the opposite of "Concept/Premise" in most cases. And often when people say that a show had "bad execution", they usually mean "it seems like it might have been a good show, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped due to the way it played out".

Most people tend to think of execution as subjective. At least, judging by how they reviewed the anime imo. People expect tons of different things from just 1 series but that's simply impossible to fulfill. Saying that execution means "i thought it could be good but it wasn't" is too subjective and is a worthless and dumb definition. I liked SAO, it was intended to be heavily romanticized and i loved that aspect. Though people who are going to look at it technically or in other ways would find it dumb whether it be due to the badass OP main character or if that person expected heavy realism in their fiction. Because i don't care about realism in fiction, it's easy for me to appreciate a show with or without it.
But i think execution means whether or not the show / book sent out the author's intended message for it effectively. It's a lot more objective and quantifiable that way and i don't think SAO failed in this.
Hmm, though i have a question
Judging by the quote, couldn't we say that Madoka is just another magical girl show and Evangelion is another super robot show but they were executed so well that they're legendary?

1. I think a lot of viewers have a hard time identifying the author's intended message if they get too bogged down in the show's apparent flaws or they simply don't enjoy it. They often get hung-up on their preconception of what they thought the author's message/intention was going to be, and then how it failed to live up to that premise, rather than looking at the work holistically and figuring out the message based on what was actually explored/said.
2. I think a lot of viewers have a hard time dealing with shows that contain messages that they can't personally relate to, or don't necessary appreciate/enjoy (or contain elements of the same). Or, broader still, shows that contain messages that would resonate with other audiences that aren't themselves, without looking down on the people to whom the message resonates.
So, in order to be able to argue objectively whether show communicated its intended message, you need to be able to first make a good argument about what the message is. I think a lot of people struggle with the latter so it rarely gets to the point of having an objective conversation.
(To again use one of the aforementioned issues, I'd argue that OreImo s2 is a show that struggled to communicate its message due to issues with its execution, but execution isn't actually the primary reason why people dislike it -- though it didn't help.)

Sword Art Online was pretty good about hiding its disjointed progress and simple characters with volume over substance, with Kirito learning more about the world around him from Nicholas the Renegade to a treasure chest trap to a pet revival item. No character overstayed too long for their lack of character to be noticeable, and I always contend SAO is at its strongest being semi-setting-dependent. Then we have the second arc and the show has none of that cover whatsoever.
Guilty Crown gets panned for its story, but there might be also be a problem with its aesthetics. Having a completely ridiculous episodes one after the other wouldn't be so hard to take if the aesthetics were equally outlandish. I wouldn't excuse the story entirely, but I honestly can't tell (and can't arsed to...check) if the characters were held back by the plox or if the characters just bombed in the first place. I mean, I actually liked Shu, but I forgot Inori even existed most of the time.

TL;DR: The concept of Madoka is daring in itself, married with a presentation that matched its ambitiousness.

Magical Girl genre was not dark, supposedly. Many would credit this genre from the inspiration of TV show Bewitched.
Guilty Crown was made because the studio(after looked around) thought they should make their own super power anime. They tried to inegrated the Biology into the show. The anime had the long research work, but the story is suffering.
Sword Art Online anime adaption is the improvement. People who read the author's novel felt the anime storytelling is much better. The novel lacks the structure, so anime breaks down the story and make the better story flow. However, the author is improving his writing.
Persona 4 anime adaption receives many praises. Although some people complain that banjou is too powerful, it is as if he is playing the game for the second round. Other than that, poeple like the anime.
My overall impression is that if anime committe can work without putting down too much sensitive material, it would work. However, we won't know if it would work until the anime is airing.
The example of sensitive material in anime/manga is political parody.

The concept is good means the idea behind the anime. Ex. One Piece having devil fruits, Naruto have chakras etc. Poorly executed, I think, could mean a lot. Execution has many factors to consider. The animation, the "looks" of the characters, the plot. It could mean a lot of things.

This special goat is able to cope with extreme anxiety when she wears a children's duck costume.
Polly is a special baby goat who recently found a permanent home at the goat rescue group Goats of Anarchy. Based in New Jersey, the unique sanctuary is managed and run by Leanne Lauricella.
According to Lauricella, Polly is blind, has neurological problems, suffers from extreme anxiety, and is severely underweight. These issues cause her to act erratically. For instance, when her owner isn't home, the goat runs around and bleats until comfort is found. One of the habits Polly adopted to soothe herself is to suck on walls. Says Lauricella:
"She'll find a corner of a wall in the house, and she'll just start sucking on the wall. So all the corners in our house have these little suck marks from her mouth."
Fortunately, an unexpected solution to Polly's anxiety was found when Lauricella was shopping. Reportedly, the goat caretaker was browsing aisles when she came across a number of costumes which included a duck costume with a big orange bill and two webbed feet. The animal rights activist thought the costume would look cute on the new resident – and was right. However, she also learned that the duck costume can also cause Polly to completely relax.
Lauricella told The Dodo:
"As soon as I put it on her, she just instantly got calm."
"There's something about that duck costume that calms her. She goes into a little trance. She just closes her eyes and she's out," she added.
Incredibly, the duck costume even allows Lauricella to run errands with the young goat. As the photo below conveys, once Polly is placed into the duck costume, she passes out.
Lauricella has purchased other costumes for Polly to wear, but the duck costume remains to be the young animal's favorite. Following are some adorable photos of the special goat.
This young goat, named Polly, suffered from anxiety until her owner purchased a duck costume.
Polly is blind, has neurological problems, and is underweight.
When she puts on the ducks costume, however, she completely relaxes.
She used to suck on walls to relax… But now looks cute an calms down when she wears the children's costume.

Senior police intelligence officers had earlier briefed Pakistan's Urdu-language newspapers, claiming that four of the gunmen had been seized and arrested close to Lahore's colonial Cantonment neighbourhood.
The claim followed police raids throughout the city in which dozens were seized in possession of machine guns, pistols, grenades and suicide vests at a number of private hostels. The seizures included food supplies, indicating the gunmen had planned a long siege.
Detectives hunting for the terrorists had earlier issued a 'First Incident Report' which blamed 12 unidentified gunmen for the attack which left the country more isolated than ever further as a dangerous destination and a terrorist haven.
But last night Athar Ali Khan, public relations director of the Punjab Police told The Daily Telegraph no arrests or charges had been made.
"People have been rounded up by the police, but the investigation is still on. There has been some progress, some suspects are under interrogation. Up to 30 have been rounded up and the police are working on different lines [of inquiry]," he said.
Pakistan earlier announced it was offering a cash reward of $125,000 (£88,000) for information leading to the arrests of the gunmen.
The Punjab state government appealed to the public for help in tracing the gunmen in a series of advertisements in national newspapers.
The appeals, which featured images taken from the television footage of the attacks, showed pictures of apparently clean-cut, smart young men carrying small rucksacks on their backs.
"Help us find the terrorists," read the top of the appeal in Urdu. "The country has been damaged by this attack on the Sri Lankans".
Six Pakistani policemen guarding the team and two civilians were killed in the attack. Pakistani officials said five people were being interrogated, but there was no immediate public announcement of any leads.
No group has yet claimed responsibility, but attention has focused on Islamic militants in Pakistan linked to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
It was the first deadly direct assault against a sports team in nuclear-armed Pakistan, where over 1,600 people have died in a wave of Islamist attacks in 22 months.

Yeah, we've all heard this one. Modern artists just love it...not!
As a matter of fact, I've admit that I've had the passing thought…except as an artist I realize that no, my kid probably doesn't have the depth of knowledge of color, tone, intensity, scale, acrylic mediums, canvases, etc. Those combined skills and knowledge bases are what makes an artist an artist.
Keep in mind that at first glance an artwork may not look particularly complicated, but that, of course, doesn't mean it hasn't had a lot of time, work and thoughtfulness involved to complete. Maybe not (a big black circle on white canvas makes me wonder), but most are – professional art – has layers of prep, paint, glaze, varnish done in a way that was planned--even if the final results doesn't always resemble the original idea.
This one has prep, texture, layers of glazes and final finishes. Although simply red, brown, white (on first glance) it's really a variance of reds, browns and whites. Each was layered with thought and a final idea to the finish.
Next time you think "$3,000? My kid could paint that for free" realize that
maybe your kid could...and maybe not. If you think so, get to the art store pronto!

Next Episode of Hell Below is
A new Smithsonian Channel series will chart the stealthy game of undersea warfare from the greatest submarine campaigns of World War II. It profiles the strategic masterminds behind the brutal tactics of Nazi U-boats and reveals the extraordinary feats of Allied subs in the Atlantic and Pacific. Both the Axis and Allies employed unrestricted submarine warfare to bring their enemies to their knees in World War II. Submariners on both sides were a special breed of warrior, always volunteers, often fighting alone. Sub warfare evolved rapidly during the war, as German U-Boats and American submarines attacked military targets and commercial shipping. Submarine attacks created chaos and unnerved adversaries. And while the world's oceans provided concealment and protection, the environment was unforgiving. Each hour-long episode of Hell Below features expert analysis and stock footage along with dramatic re-enactments filmed aboard authentic World War II era submarines, placing viewers in the heart of the action.
See how a new wave of aggressive U.S. sub commanders radically changed the Navy's WWII strategy, and in turn, the war.
Enter The Devil's Gorge with two Allied convoys on a collision course with the largest Nazi wolf pack ever assembled.
Relive the incredible patrol of submarine USS Harder and its multiple victories in enemy-controlled seas.
Man the battle stations with Commander O'Kane as we track the famous last patrol of America's deadliest sub, USS Tang.

Jetta TDI SportWagen: Facelifted
While the big news from VW this summer is the upcoming bigger yet more affordable Jetta sedan, a facelifted version of the not that old Jetta SportWagen rolled into showrooms late last year.
From the front, this wagon has the latest Golf's grille. The shiny shield-like beak is gone; a crisper horizontal opening with lollipop logo in the center replaces it. Inside, the latest Golf's dashboard now resides between the "A" pillars. Gone is the dash-top diffuser vent.
Otherwise, the SportWagen rolls into 2011 with all of its fifth-door virtues: big rear lid, more space and enhanced rear headroom. Its cargo floor lifts and folds. This increases depth; "boxes" your freight. You can also stack the floor between the rear stowage well and the back seat. Other items that enhance its toting abilities include a flat-folding rear seat, a rear-seat pass through and upright side-door windows. Loading or unloading items is easy. This would be even better if the doors opened wider.
Unlike some wagons, this one's back seat isn't a slab-like bench. It's contours offer reasonable support. That also means converting it into a long-load platform is a military drill: remove three headrests, flip up lower cushions and drop the seat backs into a nicely finished under seat space. This works, provided the front seats aren't slid too far back. Should this be an unacceptable compromise, no problem; you can extract the aft seat bottom without tools. Then, drop the backrest down without removing the headrests.
Up front, a tall driver, who isn't too wide, finds a supportive bucket. Its long bottom cushion offers good thigh support. With a multitude of seat and steering wheel adjustments, nearly anyone should find an ideal driving position. Unlike many cars, VW endows the right front seat with the same height and lumber support adjustments with power back rake.
Other creature comforts include high-grade interior trim with soft-touch surfaces. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is a delight. And the orb atop the six-speed manual transmission's shifter is delicious too. The height-adjustable center armrest slides fore and aft. Behind it, face-level HVAC vents reside. Backseat passengers get first class treatment. Luxury-grade interior appointments set the Jetta apart from must affordable cars.
Another thing that sets the Jetta apart is its available turbo diesel mill. This permits the Jetta to use less fossil fuel. I managed 40 mpg. EPA numbers: 30 mpg city; 41 highway. The trip computer indicated 50 mpg on one highway trek; its long-term use registered 47. So if you hear stories that this turbo-diesel car can do better than its EPA numbers, believe them. You further maximize this MPV of MPGs using its standard six speed manual transmission in order to keep the car in gear as you slow down. The fuel injectors are shut off during deceleration.
Because this power train produces plenty of torque at a low rpm, it kicks you forward with more punch than expected from 140 hp. This is particularly satisfying when you step on the throttle after you've cleared an apex.
My nearly year-old tester's engine produced more diesel noise than previous TDIs I've driven. The clutch engagement felt improved over previous TDIs, yet clutch action felt sticky.
Steering feel, handling and ride quality all rate good. But 16-inch Hankook tires didn't have leach-like grip. My 2009 SportWagen shod with 17-inch Michelin Pilots was a road warrior. Also, this one's suspension tuning didn't feel nearly as sporty.
With oil gushing in the Gulf and reports that fossil fuel demand leads oil companies to extract crude from difficult and more dangerous locations, curbing our use of petroleum makes sense for reasons other than the money you'll save at the pump. The VW TDI can squeeze more miles out of gallon of fuel; diesel is energy dense and compression-ignition power plants that burn it are thermally more efficient. Plus, VW's diesel technology is relatively green.
Thus, VW's TDI SportWagen, which lists for $25,000 is one mode of motoring mobility that makes sense for those who'd like to drive a greener car and even those who don't.

Teenager found guilty of stabbing 15-year-old while trying to steal his bike
A teenager has been found guilty of stabbing a 15-year-old boy to death as he tried to steal his bicycle.
Joshua Williams, 18, lashed out with a blade as popular young student Alan Cartwright "innocently" rode along Caledonian Road, north London, with his friends in February.
At the time of the attack caught on graphic CCTV, Williams had been on police bail on suspicion of possessing a four-inch lock knife although he was never charged.
The defendant claimed to have an alibi but following a trial at the Old Bailey he was convicted of murder and conspiracy to rob.
Alan - who was known as Little Al by his family - was killed close to the spot where 16-year-old Ben Kinsella was also stabbed to death eight years ago, prompting a high profile anti-knife campaign led by his sister, the EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella.
Following today's verdict, Alan's family called for more stop and searches and tougher 10-year mandatory sentences for possessing knives to deter young people.
His father Alan Cartwright senior, 44, said: "It will make people think twice about carrying a knife."
Alan's death made headlines as "another tragic example of the knife crime that blights our society", prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC had told the court.
On the evening of February 27, Alan was cycling with five friends when Williams and two other youths intercepted them, the trial heard.
In just seven seconds, they stepped out in front of the cyclists and managed to take two bikes before the third robber approached Alan in the road and swung a knife at his chest in a "deliberate and gratuitous" stabbing, Mr Rees said.
Despite being mortally wounded, Alan did not come off his bike and he managed to cycle on before collapsing a short distance up the road outside the Cally swimming pool.
He was pronounced dead a short time later despite the efforts of a first aider, police and paramedics.
On March 4, Williams went to Islington police station with his parents to hand himself in, the prosecution said.
When asked why they were there, his mother told an officer it was about the incident in Caledonian Road, saying: "Yes, he's involved, he did it."
And as he was taken into custody, Williams, who lived off Holloway Road, north London, was heard by another officer to say: "It's the right thing to do, isn't it?".
But in his defence, Williams claimed he was at a youth club that night and he only went to the police station to tell them that he was not involved in the incident.
The court heard that the defendant, nicknamed Slimzy, was identified as the third robber in a comment about the CCTV footage which was released by police and posted on YouTube.
His parents and brother also gave evidence to back up his claims - however the jury had spotted the apparently religious family did not all swear on the Bible in the witness box.
Mr Rees told jurors that his alibi was in tatters and the evidence from his family was "disappointing" because they had "decided to abandon their principles to support him in his lies to the court".
He suggested the defendant carried a knife on the day of the robbery because he was the victim of an earlier knife attack at the hands of a group of youths which Williams had said also happened in Caledonian Road three months before.
The prosecutor also pointed out that the CCTV showed the killer who wielded the knife was clearly left-handed - the same as Williams.
Alan's parents Michelle and Alan senior with his sister Cherrie Ives, 21, attended court every day of the trial as the evidence unfolded.
The jury took three hours to reject Williams' explanation. He will be sentenced alongside 18-year-old Shaquille Roberts and a 16-year-old who have already pleaded guilty to the bicycle robbery.
So far this year, there have been 10 knife-related murders in London.
Mr Cartwright, mother Michelle Watson and sister Cherrie Ives wept in court at the jury delivered its verdict.
In a statement read to the court, Alan's mother told how news of his death came as an "unbelievable shock" as she rushed down to the scene eight months pregnant with her third child.
She said: "Life without Al is killing me as his mum. It's also had devastating effect on his family. He loved his dad Al senior. Al has not been able to go back to work since this happened
"He says he cannot see a future without him. He was our loving boy - our only son."
Williams will be sentenced tomorrow at noon.

Mar Cabezas (ZEA, Salzburg): Child health and the drip of minor interfamily violence: some conceptual, ethical, and political challenges. Though with the introduction of health insurance coverage combining with other packages, Vietnam has made a significant progress in offering access to a larger proportion of the inhabitants, Vietnam is challenged with the continuous deficit price range for insurance coverage. They don't appear to care so long as they get some desk food mixed in with their dog food. All Tasmanians have the opportunity to dwell an extended, healthy life regardless of their earnings, training, employment, gender, sexuality, capabilities, cultural background, who they're or the place they dwell.

Its sole function is to herd medical doctors and the working class into low cost, substandard methods of health care, and use the leftover money to complement a vast array of special interests, ranging from insurance coverage firms, suppose tanks, Silicon Valley vultures, and all the way to software program builders in India and pc manufacturers in China.
While attending a joint meeting of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and the Vitamin and Metabolism Society in Seattle in 2010, I met Ms. Adele Hite, director of the Healthy Nation Coalition She agreed to take part in the symposium and at her suggestion, I invited Dr. James Bailes, MD. Dr. Bailes is a pediatrician from West Virginia. Even when medication must be taken, a healthy weight loss program and lifestyle has many health benefits and is definitely price following.

After "loooo~ng" cold winter, yes! Noboribetsu's "sakura"(cherry blossom) is at its best right now!
This is just like a nice treat for us to survive through the winter here!
The lovesome and dainty pink color cuddles and makes you feel warm when you feel down. However, this fragile flower lasts just a week only if no rain or wind....
On the way up from Noboribetsu JR Station to Noboribetsu Onsen (Hot Spring) area, sakura trees line up along the side of the road for a few kilometers. This "Aka oni" (Red Ogre) stands tall and strong to welcome you into Noboribetsu Onsen Area and today this guy looks very happy with a sakura tree blooming for him.
Today I have met quite a few excited people who said that sakura in Noboribetsu is the best!
I suppose our sakura is not displayed flashy like other gigantic tourist sights but is for you if prefer seeing sakura trees with rather subtle setting. If you miss this spring, do come next year!
Any information or guide required? Please contact us at "Noboribetsu Gateway Center" located inside of "Donan Bus" terminal in Noboribetsu Onsen.
