Camilo Pardo is best known as the "rock star car designer" responsible for the 2005 and 2006 Ford GT. In the automotive world, that makes him a hero. For the rest of Detroit, he's known as that car guy, and sometimes fashion designer, with the racing jacket who's thrown epic parties in his downtown spot before downtown was a destination for cereal milk lattes.
When I tell my flat-mate I interviewed him she recalls a story from the rave days where he spent three hours painting her "head to toe, fully nude" for a party at the infamous nightclub Bleu. Followed by sunrise at The Works, an after-hours that was, and is, as legendary as it is nefarious.
Cars have always been cool—and, let's face it, something of a man's game, but It's Pardo's lens of equal passion for design, fine art, and entertaining that make things interesting. And worth noting, safe. My flatmate had nothing but positive memories of her time working with him.
For the past 20 years he's hosted the Auto Show sanctioned Detroit Auto Designer's Night AKA the preferred party of designers who are in town and want to chill in style after spending all day in a stuffy convention center. See some art, hear some jazz … At this point, the party draws its own exclusive crowd of names who fly in for the night to catch the hybrid art exhibit.
With last weeks official announcement that NAIAS is moving to June in 2020, we can only imagine how this brand will appeal to a larger audience. Because, up to now, a convention center event, plus thousands of people, held during Detroit's most miserable season isn't exactly a fresh recipe for bringing out the masses. Which makes one think how would the scene have involved without Pardo?
Spend any time talking to him and you understand there's a depth to his merrymaking as he cites Dada and Surrealism as party influences while explaining the frustrating logistics of moving a formula one race car in the snow. Could Camillo be to the Auto Show what Detroiters are to Detroit? The heartbeat that sustained life during the more difficult times? Is Summer NAIAS a sign that the Zeitgeist has finally caught up with him?
CVh: Favorite car you've never owned?
CP: 1965 P4 Ferrari. Even a reproduction contemporary version would be cool.
CVh: If you could only drive one car for the rest of your life what would it be?
CP: I prefer mid-engine cars. I haven't driven a 488 Ferrari. I'm not how it compares to the 06 Ford GT. The GT is so nice to drive—it's hard to beat.
CVh: You're from New York?
CP: I came to Detroit in the 70s when I was just a kid. It was a family thing to be with more family. I was only ten. If I was 18 I would have probably resisted. "F**k, I'm not leaving NY."
NYC was great back then. There was a lot going on. I'm very happy I spent the beginning of my life there.
CVh: You went to CCS?
CP: Yeah—and I would have left Detroit when I graduated . . .
My goal was to get the hell out of Detroit. Either go to Europe—I had done an internship in Europe—or go to California, but the best offers were from GM, Ford or Chrystler.
CVh: That seemed to work out well.
CP: Ford offered me the job. They said if you want to go to Europe, we'll put you on a four-year rotational program. We've got studios in Italy, Germany, and England. That sounded great to me. That was awesome. And it simply continued. It didn't stop.
CVh: You work primarily as an artist now?
CP: No. I still design. I've done some work for a company in Shanghai. An electric concept. I did another concept car that was a small, local commuter. I've been working on a little speedster, and aircraft for the last seven years on and off, and now it's really kind of heavy.
We also host the auto show party at my studio. Designer's Night. Last year was the 20th anniversary. Twenty years of doing that. Kind of crazy.
CVh: It is. Twenty years. Greatest moments?
CP: The coolest things have been the cars that we show. It's really shocking to me that we get some of these cars on display. We had one of Carroll Shelby's Cobras that he lent Steve McQueen way back in the day. That Cobra had fantastic history and it was restored to a concourse level. One time we had a John Surtees Formula One car driven by David Hobbs. Another year we had a 1977 Williams Formula One car. It's shocking. For the automotive people to come in and they're like "What the hell? What is this car doing here? How did it get here? That's always great.
CVh: Favorite party?
CP: One of the biggest ones, and we've had a few big ones, was in 2002 when we introduced Ford's GT concept car. We were sponsored by Ford at the time.
CVh: Was that the one you designed?
CP: Yes. I was the designer. That was the first delivery of the vehicle to the public. They had never seen the vehicle. We had been working on it for a couple years—quietly in a studio.
I had asked Ford to help us on our second year because I wanted to get Syd Meade—who's a futurist. He's the designer of Tron, Blade Runner, 2010, Star Trek. Some amazing movies. And he was a designer at Ford many years ago.
CVh: That was at your place?
CP: At some point we outgrew my place. Ford decided to have the parties elsewhere. That was the second year, and we had it at the Rooster Tail on the Detroit Riverfront. It was probably the biggest one. We got Dan Gurney's GT40 the car that won the Le Mans. The car was shipped, lifted, and put through the windows of the Rooster Tale.
CVh: And?
CP: I got kind of tired of the whole auto thing. I've been coming out with all these auto themes for the event over the years. We had a committee that would meet and I said let's do something more abstract, something more on the fine arts side. Really give the designers something to remember.
Ford was into it. They wanted it to be a memorable designer's night. They had plenty of cash flow at the time. Everyone was celebrating.
We made it a Dada movement. Salvatore Dali. Marcel Duchamp. Man Ray, Fellini. They had these crazy movies. Black and white. We tried something new. We blew up these giant weather balloons and projected movies on them, so the movies wrapped around. They were huge. They looked like planets. We kept them real low, so you could basically touch them.
We showed only vintage Jaguars. We had four different Jaguars on these wild, round carpets. Zebra, leopard…
CVh: What's it like having a party in Michigan in January?
CP: I have photos of us, pushing the Formula One Car in the back, in the snow. We had to be prepared for excessive snow removal. My studio is pretty large. To integrate the back of the building where I keep the cars, with the front, all the doors have to be open and the place freezes.
Winter is as inconvenient as anything could possibly be—and to mix in with an auto show, it's just miserable. It can get down to three degrees below zero. That's cold. It's rough. I call it uninhabitable. But the show must go on.
The weather has a huge impact on the environment and the atmosphere of what you're doing.
CVh: The show is now moving to summer. What caused that?
CP: I don't know why they're moving it. It's too good to be true. I have a ballroom upstairs I'd love to use for receptions that we sure as hell can't use in the winter. If it's two degrees outside, it's two degrees in the ballroom.
CVh: Does this mean your parties are going to get better?
CP: I think so. It's the beginning of a new era.
CVh: Do you see this is an attempt to attract a bigger audience?
CP: This is a way to bring in a new energy for sure.
CVh: Speaking of new energy. You've been in Detroit along time—
CP: Yes, longer than most of my friends have been alive.
CVh: Did you ever think they'd buy the Train Station?
CP: I saw Ford own the Ren Cen, sell the Ren Cen. And GM take it over. Which was bad. When Ford owned it there was Formula One racing all around the Ren Cen. That was in the mid-eighties. Detroit Grand Prix was in the streets, around the Ren Cen. I've seen Ford own a fantastic building in the middle of downtown.
The fact that they purchased the train station represents recovery to me. Thank God that they're getting their feet back into the city.

Getting you back to living, faster with orthobiologics
Chronic pain or acute injuries can keep you from your work and enjoying your family life. For people living with this ongoing pain for weeks, months and years, this non-surgical option can provide great promise.
Orthobiologics, sometimes referred to as regenerative medicine, may help you postpone or avoid altogether, joint replacement or other surgical procedures. And while surgical options produce excellent results, the new world of orthobiologics may provide you with alternative, non-surgical options to relieve your pain, helping you get back to living faster.
How can orthobiologics help me?
Orthobiologics have been employed to help either with pain relief or healing of orthopedic ailments. Generally, its use can be placed into one of four categories of orthopedic injuries:
- Chronic tendon injuries (i.e., tennis elbow, patellar tendonitis, and rotator cuff partial tears)
- Acute soft tissue injuries (i.e., ligament, tendon or muscle strains or sprains)
- Mild to moderate arthritis (i.e., knee, hip, and shoulder osteoarthritis)
- Surgical augmentation (i.e., revision procedures)
For more information:
- Call (515) 224-4232
- Download our brochure
Ideal for:
- Certain Worker's Compensation Injuries
- Competitive Athletes
- High School/Collegiate Athletes
- Active, Middle-Aged Individuals
- Early Onset Arthritis
- Alternate Options For Surgery/Joint Replacement
What orthobiologics options do you offer?
DMOS offers three options, all commonly used to treat different musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, muscle strains, tendon and ligament injuries.
The injection type differs based on the patient assessment and their individualized needs.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP):
By definition, PRP is a collection of growth factors (which are proteins that are important in the healing of injuries), that can have controlled levels of white and red blood cells, based on the healing process necessary. Laboratory studies have shown that the increased concentration of growth factors in PRP can potentially speed up the healing process. Many world-class athletes use PRP therapy to repair their sports injuries faster.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC):
Technically, BMAC is a collection of growth factors and cells, which include stem cells. Physicians use BMAC when they believe the potential upside of containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is necessary for treatment.
Autologous Protein Solution (APS):
This injection serves to help as a local anti-inflammatory and reset the body's natural balance in the arthritic joint. In technical terms, APS is a denatured PRP that delivers proteins, which block arthritic pain receptors. APS may be the preferred course of treatment based on if the patient exhibits radiographic evidence of knee, hip or shoulder OA (osteoarthritis).
What are the benefits of orthobiologics?
- It is a pretty simple procedure: At DMOS, we only allow orthopedic surgeons to perform these injections, ensuring your safety. The 1 to 2 hour procedure takes place at our DMOS West clinic.
- It is all natural: Uses bone marrow/plasma to accelerate your healing process. Because we are physician-owned, we are dedicated to choosing the best product that makes sense for your needs and offers the best value for you.
- It is safe for your body: As the procedure uses your own platelets or bone marrow to heal it is a safe option with usually no side effects.
- Supports long-term healing: Promotes a long-term solution, versus temporary relief from your pain (cortisone injection).
- You will need rest and recovery: The typical recovery period is four to six weeks as your body works to heal.
- Individualized treatment plans: Often when we are speaking about regenerative medicine, a patient is someone with a long-term chronic injury. Likely, the patient has undergone physical therapy treatments, and is exploring surgical options but is not quite ready for that next step. Many different conditions are treatable with regenerative medicine. Our physicians are trained orthopedic surgeons that are dedicated to working with you to understand your injury and your needs to ensure this is the right next step for you.
- Minimal pain involved: The pain involved is similar to any other type of injection. On occasion, your physician may have you wear a brace or a sling for a short period. Tylenol and ice will treat any pain resulting from the injection. Prior to the injection, you will need to stop using corticosteroids or NSAID anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), a week before therapy.
For questions or to schedule an appointment call: (515) 224-4232
Currently, DMOS offers options for common shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and wrist/hand conditions. These conditions include arthritis, ligament/tendon/muscle injuries, avascular necrosis, bursitis, labrum tears, meniscus tears, or patellofemoral syndrome/chondromalacia.
Orthobiologics is relatively new – even though pro athletes have had this option available for decades. Because of this, insurance companies consider regenerative medicine a new treatment option and do not cover it. These treatment options are provided at DMOS as a cash-only option.
Stem cells can come from your own body (autologous stem cells) or someone else (allograft stem cells). Allograft stem cells come from many sources most commonly amniotic fluid harvested at the time of birth. Allograft stem cells are available at DMOS by request only. The stem cells used most commonly at DMOS come from a bone marrow aspirate (pelvis). They have the ability to develop into many types of cells as well as replace and restore tissue function.
Some complications which could be associated with regenerative medicine include a failed procedure, or temporary swelling and/or increased pain.
At DMOS, we only allow orthopedic trained professionals to perform these injections, ensuring your safety. The procedures take place at any of our DMOS clinics where you will have access to other treatment options like physical therapy and surgery. Our focus is centered only around patient outcomes and satisfaction as we are not industry sponsored or biased towards a specific product line or treatment method. We also have the ability to utilize regenerative medicine in addition to a surgical procedure if recommended by your doctor.
To ensure the cells are placed in the correct location we utilize many different tools such as musculoskeletal ultrasound and real-time X-ray in addition to utilizing your prior X-rays and MRI.
The results vary from patient to patient, but you will typically begin to see results 1 to 3 months after the treatment. However, some patients do not begin to see results until 6 to 9 months after treatment. We recommend a period of rest and physical therapy to many patients after their injection.
At DMOS, we commit ourselves to individualizing our treatment strategies. All options are available to DMOS patients. We are the experts in treating musculoskeletal conditions both nonoperatively and through surgery which gives us a better understanding of who is a candidate for regenerative medicine. Ideal candidates range from patients with early to moderate arthritis to an individual with a partial muscle strain/ligament injury or someone struggling with tennis/golfers elbow. There are many applicable scenarios for regenerative medicine. If you do not like the idea of surgery, ask about regenerative medicine, each provider is prepared to discuss this with their patients. After examining your medical records, your physician will determine if regenerative medicine is an option for your conditions.
A total of 50-200cc may be drawn (less than half a pint). Depending on your weight, a smaller amount of blood may be drawn.
A bone marrow aspirate is different from a bone marrow biopsy and not as painful. We numb the area before drawing the marrow to make the procedure as comfortable and pain-free as possible for you.
The stem cell implantation procedure is similar to a typical shot you receive at a doctor's office.
Drink extra amounts of water prior to your appointment. Stop using corticosteroids or NSAID anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), a week before therapy.

"What did you do that for?" she demanded. At other times, she would have argued with him but she was just too tired for that now.
"Because I see how exhausted you look... like someone who would drop down any minute. I don't want to be accused of working you into a state of fatigue that you'll end up in the hospital.
I've been called all kinds of names, some unprintable. I don't want 'client abuse' or 'slave master' to join the long list."
A little smile curved her lips before she broke out laughing.
"Now that's better!" he remarked, smiling at her, the corners of his eyes crinkling in amusement.
"You can be funny, you know," Oma said when she stopped laughing.
They sat chatting and drinking for sometime till the bottle was empty. He was about ordering another one but she had had enough.
"I really need to go. There are a few things that need tidying up, people to see..."
"Alright. But there's something I want you to do for me. A group of friends and I are heading to the beach at Ibeshe on Saturday to unwind. You need to come too to check out the ambience of the place. It might be suitable for the other ad left to be shot," he said.
She thought about it. Since it was work-related, why not?
"Fine with me. What time will we leave?"
The Sea Beach Village, Ibeshe is a few minutes boat ride from Ijegun Jetty near Satellite Town (on the outskirts of Lagos).
But as Oma alighted from the speedboat and walked into the community, she felt as if she was in another world.
"Wow! A place like this exists so close to Lagos?" she asked in amazement.
Her eyes drank in the scenery- the tall coconut trees growing abundantly everywhere, their long branches bent as the wind whistled through, the houses built with raffia and palm fronds, the aroma of smoked fish, the sharp scent of the sea nearby...
The whole place was quiet with a rural ambience about it that was enchanting. Oma was glad she had worn flats for as she walked, her feet sank into the soft sand, impeding easy movement.
Daniel smiled down at her. "It's my little secret hideaway from all the stress and 'madness' of the city."
They walked slowly in between the houses before emerging from the canopy of palm trees onto the beach front.
"Beautiful!" Oma said, her eyes lighting up as she beheld the majestic ocean. She increased her pace so she could get close to the water as quickly as possible.
The beach, which stretched on both sides as far as the eye could see was largely deserted. That was except for a lone fisherman just coming in with his catch.
Oma closed her eyes, breathing in the slightly salty air from the sea, her spirits light as air, as if free of all the burden that had weighed her down for so long...
They walked down the beach for a while, taking in the sights. From her bag, Oma brought out a small notebook and pen and began jotting down some ideas she felt would be useful for the proposed video shoot. She also took some pictures with a small camera she had brought.
They sat down on the beach while she worked, Daniel intermittently looking at her then at the sea. After a while, he said: "That's enough for today. We are here to chill not work. Let's go."
She followed him, curious as to where he was taking her.
They headed towards one of the buildings on the beach front. It was a fairly large bungalow painted in cream and brown with a green roof. In front was a swimming pool, empty of water.
As they climbed the steps to the wide verandah, a man emerged from the side of the house. He was an elderly man in his late sixties, tall with a regal air about him.
He greeted them both, looking at Oma curiously. "This is Mr Ogih- the caretaker of the property," Daniel said.
"Let me put on the generator. There has been no light since last night," Ogih said. But Daniel told him not to bother yet. "We'll sit here on the verandah for a while and relax. You can put it on later."
The man went inside the house, taking the cooler of drinks and food, Daniel had brought with him from the city.
"When are your friends joining us?" she asked, looking around for the others. "Those guys? They bailed out at the last minute, giving all kinds of excuses."
Oma looked at him a bit suspiciously not quite sure of what to make of that. Then she shrugged and relaxed back in her chair.
Their environment was just too beautiful to waste time arguing over inconsequential stuff, she thought. "How did you get to know about a place like this? It's so close to the city yet relatively unknown," she said.
"The property's actually owned by my late uncle," he disclosed. "The land was given to him by the former Baale of the community many years back. It was in appreciation for the company's donation to the school project in the village.
"He built it as a vacation home, a place to relax once in a while far from the stress of the city, yet so close to town. When he became ill, he spent more and more time here than he did at his home."
He was silent for a while, gazing faraway into the distance, deep in thought. His thoughts did not seem to be pleasant ones for there was a look of sorrow on his face that was not there some moments before.
From working on the ad campaign, she had heard a few things about the founder of GMK Holdings, Daniel's uncle. How he had started the business over thirty years ago as a small trading company that later diversified into manufacturing, exports, banking and other sectors of the economy. He had no male child, she learnt so he had groomed Daniel, his nephew to take over the business when he passed on.
Since his death five years earlier, Daniel had been running the business, quite successfully considering the company's annual turnover.
"You miss him?" Oma asked, studying him closely. He turned towards her. "My uncle, you mean? He was a great man. He was like a father to me. He actually brought me up after my own father died when I was in secondary school. My sisters and I have knew no other father except him until his death."
Then changing the subject abruptly, he said: "We are here to relax not dwell on the past. So, what would you like to do? Swim? Play beach ball or what?"
"I'm not in the mood for a swim. I guess I will just chill with my novel and a drink," Oma told him. He did not want to swim either. So they took the cooler to one of the raffia huts on one side of the beach to have their lunch.
There were all kinds of drinks including chilled wine and plenty of food: roasted chicken, turkey, coconut rice, salad and some finger foods and other snacks.
"So much food! Who's going to eat all this?" Oma asked as she inspected the cooler's contents.
"You of course! Who else is here?"
"Hmm. I might have to suspend my diet just for today. This looks delicious."
She served some of the chicken, rice and salad on plastic plates and they began to eat.
They chatted as they ate, with Daniel asking about her career and other stuff. "I first worked with STB Advertising on leaving school," she disclosed.
"I was there for about three years. Then the Agency was taken over by a foreign group and some of us decided to leave as the new owners were going to bring in their own people.
"Later, I worked with a couple of other agencies before I decided to go solo."
"What about your social life? Any boyfriend? Fiancé?"
She stared at him for a moment. "That's private. Not for public consumption."
"I'm your client, not the public," he pointed out, biting into a chicken wing.
"If you must know, I was engaged a few years back. But things didn't work out. I guess I was too focused on my career as he rightfully pointed out to me at the time," she said softly
"Any regrets?" He looked keenly at her.
She shook her head. "None at all. It was a sacrifice I had to make so my company could succeed."
"You are not doing badly," Daniel noted, pausing. "So, what're you doing next weekend?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I have a party, it's a friend's birthday and I need a date. No strings this time!" he quickly said, in reference to his earlier invitation to her to travel with him to Port Harcourt.
She smiled at the memory.
"I was really mad at you that day, you know."
"I could see that! My ears rang for a long time from your stinging retort which I deserved," he said. They both laughed at that.
"So, are you coming or not?" he asked.
She did not see any harm in socialising with him so she accepted.
The party took place at a new bar and nightclub at Lekki. Daniel came to her house to pick her up shortly before nine o' clock.
"You look stunning," he said admiringly, inspecting her from head to toe. She wore a black body con gown with lace detail on the top.
Her creamy brown skin glowed as if polished with glaze and her long, dark hair fell in waves down her shoulders.
He kept staring at her, his eye fixed on her bosom until she stated in a mocking tone: "Hello! You need to stop before your eyes dig holes in my body!"
He shook his head then, and taking her hand, led her to his car. It was one of the few parties Oma had attended in recent times and she really enjoyed herself.
She had been so busy building up her business, socializing had been relegated to the background as a none priority.
Now, the company had stabilized a bit, she intended relaxing a bit more.
She danced a couple of times with Daniel and his friend, the celebrant. His name was Nosa and he was an old school mate of Daniel.
"You and Daniel seem close," he remarked while they had been dancing. "Are you guys dating?"
"What?" she exclaimed. "What gave you that idea?"
"The way he looks at you, as if you're his woman. I've known Daniel since we were little boys wearing short knickers in secondary school back in Warri. I've never seen him look at a lady that way. So, what exactly are you to him?" Nosa demanded.
Oma sighed. "I thought that was made clear during the introductions. I'm handling his company's ad campaign. So, it's a business relationship," she said patiently as if explaining something to someone who was not too bright.
But he did not seem to be convinced. "It looks as if he would not mind taking it to a more personal level," he rejoined.
"What are you? A mind reader?" she queried, getting pissed with his intrusive questions.
She stopped dancing and was about to walk away when a voice close by stated: "Who's reading whose mind here?" Daniel said as he came up to them.
He took Oma's hand in his. "You've danced enough with him. By the way, Sylvia's looking for you, Nosa," he said before walking away with her.
"You and Nosa were talking about me, right?" he said when they reached the wide balcony outside the party venue. It was much quieter here and secluded, the sounds of the party reduced to a minimum.
"Yes," she admitted. "He wanted to know if we were dating."
"And your response?"
"The truth. That it's a business connection. Nothing more."
He gave her a quizzical look. "Are you sure about that? There's really nothing more?" As he spoke, he drew closer and closer to her till their faces were just inches apart.
"Is there?" she queried, looking up at him, warily.
"Yes. There is. This." And his face lowered to hers, his mouth seeking hers in a light kiss that deepened into something stronger by the minute.
His action took her by surprise and her hands rose instinctively to press against his chest, to push him away. But he was immovable, too strong to budge.
Besides, against her will, her mouth opened up to him, accepting his kiss, the feel of him. His tongue slipped inside her mouth, in a deeper kiss that left her wanting more of him.
He drew her closer to him, his arms holding her by the waist in a tight clinch, while her arms moved to the back of his head, drawing him close.
They stood that way for a while, engrossed in each other, their desire to get even closer, their bodies tighter together, increasing by the minute...
Then a buzzing sound in his trouser pocket, broke the intense moment.
It was his mobile phone.
The sound brought Oma to her senses and she withdrew from his embrace. She stood for a while, trying to gather herself together, to still her heart that had been beating erratically.
Then she left him, walking quickly away, to put as much distance between them as possible.
She ran down the stairs quickly, hearing him call her name but she did not stop till she got to the car park.
Oma stood between two parked cars, struggling to get her breathing back to normal. What has come over me, she thought.
How could she have reacted to Daniel that way, even kissing him back! How could she?
Ok, he was very attractive and charming too, when he chose to. But so were many other men around and she had never been drawn to them the way she did to Daniel.
What was it about him? What was it that was pulling them together like an irresistible magnet?
"No," she muttered to herself. "This can't happen. Must not happen... Just focus- on the job, the contract with his company. Anything else is..."
"Oma!" the voice called from behind her. Turning round slowly, she saw Daniel standing a short distance away. The light from a security lamp nearby reflected on his face, which had a determined look on it.
A few steps and he was standing in front of her...

SSL for Web Sites on Windows Server for Hosting Service Providers
Microsoft is bringing Windows Azure Web Sites, Virtual Machines, Service Management Portal and API to Windows Server, enabling service providers to easily deliver high-density website hosting and Infrastructure as a Service scenarios in a Windows Server-based environment.
For more information regarding this exciting product, check out the document here.
One of the coolest feature for this products is SSL. Instead of using a wild card certificate for all web sites, with the Centralized Certificate Store feature introduced by IIS 8, it allows customer using their own certificate for SSL web site which exactly match their web site DNS name. This significantly brings the SSL web sites density to a higher level.
Instead of setup secure connection between clients and web workers directly, we are using SSL-OFF-Loading with ARR. The secure connection is setup between clients and sites Front End. Front End has Web Sites-specific version of Application Request Routing (ARR) installed which accepts web requests from clients, routes requests to Web Workers and returns web worker responses to clients.
Won has a blog talked about this years ago.
On Front End, two SSL Certificate bindings were created while installation. Here is a screenshot of these two bindings.
As you can see, one is Central Certificate Store binding, and another one is IP:port binding which bind to 0.0.0.0:443. This binding uses a self-signed certificate issued to "Default".
You can find the certificate on Frontend role's computer certificate store.
Also, you can find the CCS (Central Certificate Store ) settings on Frontend role as well. It is stored under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IIS\CentralCertProvider.
On IIS 8, HTTP.SYS uses follow order to setup a secure connection.
An exact IP:Port SSL configuration is found.
MY/LM or MY/Web Hosting certificate stores are used.
An exact Hostname:Port SSL configuration is found.
This is the SNI configuration and is applied only if SSL connection is initiated by SNI capable client.
MY/LM or MY/Web Hosting certificate stores are used.
This is the Centralized SSL Certificate Support (CCS) configuration.
In this configuration, CCS provider is used to locate the SSL certificate.
By default, IIS provides a file based CCS provider.
IPv6 wildcard match and the connection must be IPv6.
IPv4 wildcard match and the connection can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
So, during SSL connection setup, HTTP.SYS first check CCS binding and looking for a certificate match with the web site host name in the centralized certificate store (priority 3) . If found, then this certificate will be used for the HTTPS communication. Otherwise, it falls to the 0.0.0.0:443 (priority 5) binding, a default installed certificate will be used.
This means, for Web Sites on Windows Server for Hosting Service Providers, SSL is supported by default. You can access your site using HTTPS without upload a certificate.
I created an empty site and the access with HTTPS. I got this warning. Since I don't upload my own certificate. The 0.0.0.0:443 binding is used and the "Default" certificate used by this binding is not match my site name.
Definitely, this gives bad experience to your customer. In addition, you got similar warnings when:
- You publish your site via webDeploy
- Publish with GIT
- Other places where HTTPS get involved.
Here is the steps to resolve this issue.
1. Create a wildcard certificate. For example, if you cloud DNS suffix is katal.com, you need create a wildcard certificate with CN=*.katal.com.
2. Logon to Frontend role with admin account
3. Run "netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443" to delete the original binding.
4. Run "netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=[hash value of *.katal.com certificate] appid={4dc3e181-e14b-4a21-b022-59fc669b0914} certstorename=MY"
5. Now, you should never see the certificate error.
Note 1: If your CA is not listed in the Windows trusted CA list, you need to import the CA root certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store on Frontend role and client machines.
Note 2: The default installation installs a "Default" certificate and creates default SSL bindings on management portal and SitesRestAPI roles as well. You can use the same way to replace the in-secure self-signed "Default" certificate.
See you next time,

Ken Lo thinks that in 24 months time, a 500MB data limit is going to be far from adequate.
In the space of the last month, we've had two huge changes in how companies charge for mobile data in the UK. Different mobile operators appear to be pursuing different approaches to data pricing: whilst Three recently scrapped download limits for One Plan customers, T-Mobile announced that they would cut data limits to 500MB per month, a reduction of over 80% on their Android tariffs.
How much data do we need? Probably more than 500MB, for a 24 month contract.
The amount of data that your smartphone requires depends on a lot of different things: the speed of your connection and whether you use it to download multimedia for example. A friend of mine uses around 10MB/month on his iPhone 3G S whereas I use around 250MB-300MB per month. Others probably use several gigabytes each month.
Morgan Stanley Research published a fascinating report in December 2009 about mobile internet. It's a fairly long and technical document but it's a great overview of all the key trends and technologies in mobile internet. For me, the following graph of "average data use per subscriber per month" was one of the most interesting pieces of data (data from page 288 of the report). The graph shows the average amount of data that mobile subscribers in North America are consuming each month. It also projects this forward going towards 2013.
In 2011, the typical North American smartphone user will use 300MB of data each month. This is roughly in line with what I would expect (from experience, most UK consumers currently use around 200-300MB each month). From today's figure of 300MB, Morgan Stanley predicts that the typical data usage will rise to a mammoth 1,235MB of data per month by 2013 (in 24 months time!). Given that we've shown UK consumers tend to consume similar amounts to our North American counterparts, we would perhaps expect UK smartphone users to follow the same trend going forward in data usage. And that's hugely worrying.
500MB download limits are fairly commonplace in the UK and we would expect more and more users to reach and exceed this limit towards 2012. By 2013, many consumers will be regularly by exceeding their 1GB monthly download limit. With charges of up to £4/MB for exceeding download limits, this is a huge problem.
My advice is that anybody who is currently considering taking out a 24-month contract should avoid tariffs with a 500MB data limit. 500MB might be enough for your data usage today in 2011 but your contract isn't just for today: you're buying it for 24 months and hence it makes sense to think about how you'll be using your phone 24 months down the line.
Perhaps the mobile operators could commit to increasing their "fair usage limits" over time in line with demand. In much the same way that mortgage rates track the Bank of England base rate and student loans track inflation, perhaps mobile data limits should track the "growth in average data usage". As new applications are released and people start using their smartphones in new ways, the download limits will gradually increase over time in line with this demand. This would give consumers much better peace of mind: as a "typical" smartphone user you'll never have to worry about data limits. It'd also allow mobile operators to protect their networks from the "heavy users" which use a disproportionate amount of network resources.
The debate about mobile download limits still needs to be had but for the time being though, it's worth opting for a package with a 1GB download limit or "all-you-can-eat".
Consumers don't understand download limits
At Ken's Tech Tips, we've received literally hundreds of comments and e-mails asking about mobile download limits. There are the people who have managed to use up their entire 500MB or 1GB download allowance in the space of a day – and they have no idea how they did it. There are those who "streamed" videos from YouTube or "browsed" the internet without realising that "streaming" or "browsing" counts towards a "download" allowance (there is a common misconception that "downloading" means saving a file to your drive/SD card). There are those who make voice-over-IP phone calls from their phone and run out of data in no time at all. "Surely making a phone call is different to downloading something?". And there are people who download applications to listen to radio: not realising that the radio application is really "downloading" data the whole time. If the FM radio functionality is free, how come this radio is different?
T-Mobile's recent explanation for why cut their download limits included several misunderstandings of how people really use the internet. The online experience is two-way and it blends many forms of media together (text, images, audio, video). According to T-Mobile:
Browsing means looking at websites and checking email, but not watching videos, downloading files or playing games. We've got a fair use policy but ours means that you'll always be able to browse the internet, it's only when you go over the fair use amount that you won't be able to download, stream and watch video clips.
According to their explanation, I would never need to worry about going over the 500MB limit regardless of how many e-mails I send/receive and how much Facebook I use. Well you know what, T-Mobile? People like to share photos from their parties and their nights out through e-mail and Facebook. And they like to be able to upload, share and browse those photos straight from their phone. Am I "uploading/downloading files" or just checking my e-mail?
Some Flash-built websites require several megabytes of data to be downloaded before they'll show you anything (video intro movies for example). Does that fall under the definition of browsing the web? What about reading the BBC News website? Clearly, that counts as web browsing but what if that article has an embedded video?
How much data would I "download" whilst playing Angry Birds for 24 hours? The answer is probably hardly anything (~50KB for ads maybe). How about Farmville? It's a browser-based Flash game and every time you load it up, you'd probably use up a lot more data than if you were played Angry Birds for a whole hour. This is because as a web-hosted Flash movie, it needs to be downloaded again each time you load it. Most people won't understand that distinction… after all, if Angry Birds has better graphics than FarmVille then surely it requires more data to be downloaded? Higher resolution video uses more data than low-res video, why is it different for games?
In essence, our point is that the amount of data you'll download often has no relation to your experience and your interaction with media. Unlike phone calls where "60 minutes" means spending exactly one hour on the phone, "1 megabyte" of data has no obvious meaning. It could be a long Wikipedia page about Quantum Electrodynamics which takes half a day to read or it could be a few seconds of video. It could allow you to download the Farmville Flash application but once you've downloaded it, the the amount of data you use bears no resemblance to the amount of time you spend playing the game.
Whilst the relation between "time spent on the phone" and "number of minutes" is obvious, there is no obvious relation for between different types of activities and the "amount of data usage".
We've done our best to try to explain download limits to consumers in as clear a way as we possibly can. But at the end of the day it's not an exact science – every single e-mail, music track, application, video and game will use a different amount of data – and that amount of data is not usually obvious to the consumer. Without really taking the time to understand the technical aspects behind mobile internet and content delivery, there is no way a typical consumer would know what their data limits actually meant in real life. And that's a big problem. Given the consumer confusion and uncertainty about download limits, the mobile industry should be thinking about whether there are fairer ways to charge for data (by speed for example).
Good news: The cost of mobile data should come down
Finally, some good news recently. Ofcom have recommended that the 900MHz and 1800 MHz radio spectrum ranges currently reserved for 2G mobile signals (with GPRS internet) are to be liberalised and networks will be allowed to run 3G services on them. The following chart from Nokia Siemens Network (also from the Morgan Stanley report) looks at the "cost per bit" of providing a data service over GPRS (2G) and HSDPA (3G). This makes me hopeful that the cost of data will come down and operators will start to move to larger download allowances over the coming year. Three recently began turning off their 2G roaming services and at the same time began offering "all you can eat" internet tariffs with no download limits. Increased download limits will be a great thing for the consumer: yet if you're stuck in a 24-month contract you probably won't benefit from any increases in the download limit over the next 24 months. It's still a good idea to opt for a large download limit.

Study Says Yelling Is As Hurtful as Hitting
The Wall Street Journal:
Parents who yell at their adolescent children for misbehaving can cause some of the same problems as hitting them would, including increased risk of depression and aggressive behavior, according to a new study.
A good, warm relationship with Mom and Dad doesn't protect teens from the negative effects of parents' yelling, cursing or lobbing insults, such as calling teens "lazy" or "stupid," the study found. Conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Michigan, the study was published Wednesday on the journal Child Development's website.
"Shouting cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Ming-Te Wang, an assistant professor in the departments of education and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh and a co-author of the study. "On the contrary, it makes it worse."
Timothy Verduin, clinical assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Child Study Center at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, who wasn't involved in the study, said parents can effectively discipline kids by taking away privileges, such as screen time or the car keys.

Finnish national parks
There are 40 national parks in Finland covering total of 10 002 km2.
Here is a multimedia presentation of my seven year-long project of all the national parks of Finland. The last technical part was done together with a multimedia "guru" Kari Kuukka (docimages.org). The 12 minute-long presentation is diveded into four separate parts: forests and wetlands, lakes and rivers, archipelago and fells.

Avaya and AMC ally to connect CRM and SAP apps
Linking back-end and front-end systems may become less of a problem for corporations. Lucent Technologies Inc. spinoff Avaya has announced an alliance with AMC Technology to provide software that improves the connectivity between Avaya's CRM software and SAP applications. AMC specializes in integrating CRM and computer telephony integration (CTI) software with SAP databases.
Many companies have effective billing, customer service and delivery systems, said Kim Mackay, executive general manager at Avaya. "[The systems] are not tied together to give customer service agents a holistic view of the customer," she said.
AMC has developed two interfaces in cooperation with Avaya that connect Avaya platforms to the SAP Customer Interaction Center. The two connectors, the Telephony Connector for SAP and the IVR Connector for SAP, are aimed at bridging the gap between Avaya's CRM applications and SAP applications, which will allow contact center agents to quickly access SAP R/3 and SAP CRM systems.
The AMC software brings to Avaya's own packages "the ability to bring corporate knowledge of the customer together [and] help with the integration of the front office to SAP systems to give a unified view of the customer," Mackay said.
The Telephony Connector performs translation and delivery of telephony functions to SAP. When it's linked to Avaya's software, it provides CTI-enabled screen pops on the agent's SAP Customer Interaction Center screen that can include transaction information from the SAP database and the interactive voice response system.
Meanwhile, the IVR Connector supports communication between Avaya's Conversant interactive voice response system and SAP, enabling information entered by a customer via the interactive voice response system to be intelligently routed to an appropriate agent. It also allows customers to interact directly with the SAP system, which allows customers to find answers to their inquiries without assistance from an agent.
"AMC brings to us the ability to be working from a development perspective," Mackay said in regards to the alliance. "[AMC's software] allows our applications to work with SAP applications."
A large number of Avaya's customers use SAP, according to Mackay, and the alliance is targeted toward those customers, which tend to be large multinational corporations.
AMC will also develop interfaces that integrate Avaya's CRM Central 2000 software with SAP databases, giving companies Avaya's intelligent workflow engine and predictive routing technology, in addition to increased connectivity throughout the enterprise.
Additionally, Avaya has plans to develop similar alliances to bridge the gap between their software and other applications that their customers use. The company's goal is to connect ERP systems broadly across Avaya's CRM portfolio, Mackay said.
The Telephony Connector and the IVR Connector are both available now worldwide. Pricing is $30,000 and $20,000, respectively, with additional fees for installation and professional fees.
For more information, visit the Avaya Web site and the AMC Web site.

There are several options for treating tendonitis and which ones to use will depend on the seriousness of the tendonitis and how long you have had the condition. The options usually involve following the R.I.C.E. method, resting, medications, and surgery.
The R.I.C.E. method of treating injury such as tendonitis is to rest the injured area, ice the affected area, compress the area, and elevate the affected part. This method will help to reduce the pain experienced with tendonitis, and reduce the soreness and inflammation.
Resting the affected joint and not moving it or putting pressure on it allows the tendons to heal. Tendons are required in order for the joint to move, so when you dont rest and are moving the joint such as walking, lifting or using the wrists if they are where the tendonitis is located; will not allow the tendons to rest as they are needed in order to do these activities.
Over-the-counter analgesics can be used to help control the pain and discomfort felt with the tendonitis. Other commonly used medications in the treatment of tendonitis are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as naproxen (Aleve), topical agents such as trolamine salicylate (Aspercreme and Myoflex), Corticosteroid injections or corticosteroid solution applied directly to the affected area.
Physical Therapy
The individual can be referred to physical therapy where a therapist will teach the individual how to do strengthening exercises that are designed to strengthen the force-absorbing capability of the muscle-tendon connection.
In the cases in which tendonitis develops into a ruptured tendon, surgery is the option used to improve tendon health and repair full-thickness tendon tears in order to reduce pain and also to restore function of the tendon.
The treatment choice will be about controlling the inflammation associated with tendonitis. In order to control the inflammation a combination of the above-mentioned options may be used. The individual may be started out with using the R.I.C.E. method with a combination of medications to control the pain and inflammation.
Then after resting the area for a while the individual may be referred to the physical therapist to learn strengthening exercises. If the tendonitis does not improve or the patient does not rest the joint properly and a rupture occurs surgery would then be the best course of treatment.
The best outcome will occur when the individual recognizes the signs of injury and takes action immediately to prevent further damage by stopping the activity that is causing the pain, by using the R.I.C.E. method as soon as possible, and by contacting the doctor if home remedies do not seem to be helping as expected.
If it is necessary to contact a medical professional tests will be performed to determine the diagnosis and best treatment plan.

16 Dec Mentoring Alternatives
When connected with mentors, ex-offenders remained in the program an average of 9.7 months versus 6.6 months for those without mentors and were 60% less likely to leave the program any given month. Participants with mentors at least once were twice as likely to obtain employment than those without mentors and needed less time to find their first job. Those with mentors were more likely to remain employed for three months than those unmentored.
Mentored participants were 35% less likely to recidivate within one year after being released from incarceration than those without mentors. And ex-offenders who met with a mentor additional time showed a smaller decline in the likelihood of recidivating.
Treatment courts, also called problem-solving courts, can target offenders' root causes of crime. Drug Courts have the benefit of addressing addictions through treatment providers as well as accountability through court supervision. Communities have attempted to expand treatment courts such as Mental Health Courts, DUI Courts, Veterans Courts. National studies show that treatment courts can reduce recidivism rates from 50% and more to less than 20%. Drug Court costs range from an average of $1,500 to $11,000 per case. In studies done in some states, savings were seen of $10 in corrections for every $1 invested in Drug Courts.
Such intervention methods such as house arrests could be used in greater frequency particularly for county sentences, thereby reducing the necessity for beds, food and medical care at prisons. However, house arrest could also be used as an intermediate punishment by state and county parole instead of incarceration for parole violations. The cost of electronic monitoring devices ranges from $5 to $10 which could be paid by offenders if allowed employment. House arrest also does not cause such negative effects such as loss of taxes from employment by offenders, loss of family structures, homes and so on.

Average bank funding costs fell to a five-year low in the December quarter of 3.80%, KPMG says in its Financial Institutions Performance Survey for the three months to December 31, 2012.
"Some of the intense competition for deposits has eased over recent quarters, and we see that over the entire sector the cost of funds reduced by six basis points over the quarter to 3.80%, the lowest cost of funds we have seen in the last five years," said KPMG.
"This reflects less competition in the term deposit market, but also the overall improvement in global market conditions which has made raising funds offshore easier and cheaper."
KPMG says the 3.80% rate is basically the average interest rate a bank would be paying for all its funding. In the June 2008 quarter this measure was 8.04%, but a year later it had dropped to 4.53%.
However, despite the drop in funding costs, the average net interest margin for the banks surveyed - ANZ, BNZ, Commonwealth Bank of Australia's New Zealand operations including ASB, Kiwibank, SBS, the Co-operative Bank, SBS and Westpac - fell by 1 basis point to 2.26% quarter-on-quarter. The biggest increase, of 11 basis points, was recorded by the Co-operative Bank, which also recorded the highest net interest margin at 2.86%. ANZ recorded the biggest decline, dropping 12 basis points to 2.31%.
"Net interest income increased due to volume as gross loans and advances increased 0.99% for the quarter but net interest margin was one basis point lower for the December quarter at 2.26% reflecting a strong quarter of asset growth," said KPMG.
In terms of quarterly percentage gross loan growth, CBA/ASB led the way with 2.25%, followed by the Co-operative Bank with 2.06%. For the 2012 calendar year, the Co-operative Bank grew gross loans by 6.45%, Kiwibank by 6.22%, BNZ by 5.55%, CBA/ASB by 4.89%, TSB by 3.64%, ANZ by 3.44%, and Westpac by 2.60%. SBS' gross loans shrank by 7.44% over the year, or by almost NZ$200 million.
Westpac, meanwhile, was the only one of the big four to see its operating expenses to operating income ratio increase in the December quarter, with the average ratio across the eight major retail banks down 4.4% from the previous quarter.
KPMG said the average operating expenses to operating income ratio across the banks surveyed fell to 46.36% in the three months to December 31, from 50.79% in the September quarter. Five banks recorded decreases and three recorded increases.
The largest decrease came from BNZ, which fell to 49.64% from 73.43%. The biggest increase came from Kiwibank, up to 66.37% from 63.16%. Westpac's ratio rose to 43.41% from 40.48%. KPMG noted a drop in operating expenses showed banks' efforts to control costs, and in some cases the completion of IT projects started in the previous year.
"The movement in the BNZ ratio is heavily impacted by fair value movements on financial instruments, which can be volatile quarter on quarter," KPMG said.
ANZ's ratio fell to 46.99% from 53.37%, and CBA-ASB's to 39.40% from 40.00%.
Net profit after tax across the banks surveyed rose 11% to NZ$855 million, again versus the September quarter. KPMG said the increase was mainly driven by an increase in non-interest income, with this boosted by gains in fair value movements, and to a degree, a reversal of movements in the previous quarter. Total assets rose NZ$3.1 billion, or 0.84%, with six banks growing gross loans.
However, KPMG said banks' return on assets continues to be under pressure with "intense" competition for mortgages. A drop of nine basis points in the average return on assets saw this come in at an average of 5.66% across the eight banks. Factors behind the fall included competition in the hot Auckland mortgage market, net migration, and Christchurch rebuilding.
"There is a continuing trend, indicated by data from the Reserve Bank that shows mortgage customers are continuing to switch from floating to fixed (interest rates). This is of no surprise, as banks are offering lower fixed two-year and one-year rates than the floating, and customers are jumping on to these, sensing the time is finally right to move to fixed," said KPMG.

"it is the Reserve Bank's job, as the banks' supervisor, to provide the close scrutiny; it's depositors' job to earn the money entrusted to the bank."
Brian Fallow is correct in his judgement...English et al are not...
This OBR farce, theft policy I call it, has pushed savers to stay short term...which might explain this thread..of course the parasites can get cheap money...the more critical and dangerous the world financial farce becomes, the more is placed in short term accounts..
It is to the shame of this govt and useless RBNZ leadership that both are failing to take control...that together they prefer to do what the parasites say shall be done.
The short term deposits will evaporate fast at the first sign of trouble and this will make any waves of trouble that much worse .....but the stupid in the Beehive fail to see this.
Don't worry Wally they are going to be Ok, and whats with all the posting in the middle of the night, the wife frosty?
The latest KPMG Financial Institutions Performance Survey shows net profits for the December quarter at the country's main retail banks were $855 million, up 10.5 per cent on the previous quarter.
The bigger profits over last quarter were largely driven by an increase in things such as transaction and monthly account fees, up by 18.5 per cent, and lower operating costs, the survey said.
The top-earning bank for the quarter was ANZ, with a profit of $296m - a decrease of 1.3 per cent from the last quarter. Westpac followed on $197m, which was up on the $186m it recorded the previous quarter.
KPMG head of financial services John Kensington said the results were proof of a strong banking sector.
"Strong banking sector"...he got that bit right AJ....strong enuff to push Key et al any which way they want.
Early to rise makes a bloke wealthy and wise...I think.
I would like to see an accurate chart showing the trends in deposits to be sure that savers are heading short....where is it?
Why is there no thinking we know of, going into the downside of having this 'deposit theft policy'.....has it been part of the plan to flog the SOE shares at a fatter price....make deposits unsafe?
Look what the FED has done to Gold...along with their mates in the big criminal banks!
Next on the block....Bonds?
Hell Wally, BNZ loan to deposit ratio is %162 , who needs deposits?
Greg Pytel again
On closer examination there is a remarkable difference. With every cycle of the 86.5% loan-deposit ratio every £1 deposited is reduced becoming less than £0.50 after 5 cycles and less than 1 penny after 32. With a loan-deposit ratio of 137% — lending £137 for every £100 — not to mention 174% or indeed 322%, the story is drastically the opposite. Imagine a banker gets the first £1 deposit in the first week of a new year and lends it out. Imagine that twice every week in that year the amount lent out comes back to him as a deposit and he sustains such deposit creation process with a ratio of 137% twice every week for the year. This is a perfectly plausible scenario on the current electronic financial markets. By the following New Year's Eve, the final amount he finally lends out from the original £1 is over £165 trillion (165 with 12 zeros, or over 16 times the amount governments have so far injected into economy). The total amount lent out in a year by a banker is over £447 trillion. Significantly with a loan-deposit ratio 100% or above no reserve is created.

A beloved duo returns – righting outlandish wrongs on the streets of Norwich and Slough.
REVIEWED THIS ISSUE n The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume Two (featuring The Tenth Doctor, Rose and Jackie) RRP £35 (CD), £25 (download)
The stuff of legend. That's how the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler once described themselves – and only half-jokingly, too. But if it sounded hubristic, then history has borne them out: in the public consciousness, David Tennant and Billie Piper have surmounted even Tom Baker and Lis Sladen to become the most iconic TARDIS item – the Fred and Ginger, the Ant and Dec, the Whizzer and Chips of Doctor Who. So it's fair to say that getting them back together for Big Finish's sophomore run of The Tenth Doctor Adventures is A Big Deal. But rather than make some grandiose re-entrance, like Luke Skywalker on top of that windswept mountain, the Doctor and Rose come bundling back into our lives in an ordinary flat on an ordinary estate in… Norwich. Make no mistake, it's a great entrance. Just not an epic one – which feels entirely in keeping with Russell T Davies' breezy, relatable mid-noughties take on the show.
From there, it's a headlong tumble into Murray Gold's clamorous, see-sawing theme arrangement and the giddy, e-number thrills of opening salvo Infamy of the Zaross, in which the Earth – or East Anglia, anyway – is invaded by a marauding band of alien warthogs (anthropomorphic extra-terrestrials being very much a la mode in the era of the Judoon, Cat People et al).
John Dorney's adventure captures the Tenth Doctor and Rose at their most carefree and goofy, leaping feet first into the fray and greeting every new danger like a day at the zoo. A decade on, Tennant is still the same skittish lightning rod of restless energy, bamboozling friends and enemies alike with a Gatling gun babble of non-sequiturs and conversational cul-de-sacs (this is a man who can't say the word 'forearmed' without embarking on an extended riff on how brilliant it would be to have four arms). Even his sudden cold flashes of mercurial anger at, say, a mass slaughter of the innocents can't quite disguise the fact he and Rose are having an absolute ball.
Piper, funnily enough, finds her way back into Rose a lot more easily than she did during her slightly hesitant 2008 reprise, to the extent I swear you can actually hear her smiling through most of this. And it wouldn't be a proper reunion without Camille Coduri's delightful Jackie, who orders her daughter to stop "fighting evil lobsters", or whatever it is she's up to, and get back home to save the planet, sharpish.

Meeting the need for smart mobility solutions
Concepts that make transport more efficient are in demand with the ever-increasing need for mobility. With our long-standing transport expertise and our IT know-how, we are constantly developing new, intelligent mobility solutions that increase availability of infrastructure, optimize throughput and improve passenger experience. It's in how we electrify, automate and digitalize infrastructure that we're setting the benchmark for tomorrow's mobility – today.
Our Presence in New York
Shaping Connected Mobility
Trains and infrastructure have a critical role to play in a world that is digitally transforming. They can produce big data, with thousands, even millions of data points every day, allowing you to get more out of your system than ever before.
Satisfying the need for seamless mobility
People today expect and need solutions that make their daily mobility simpler, more flexible, faster, more reliable and affordable. Cities and national economies, on the other hand, face the challenge of reducing the costs, space requirements, noise and CO2 emissions of transportation.
The pressure on mobility providers and policymakers to meet these mobility and transportation needs is not just high but growing – by 2050 the urban population is expected to exceed 70%. In the face of these rising demands, the transport industry is now seeking solutions that will take existing transport infrastructure to the next level.

Famous plane makers, Boeing, have found what seems to be the "lightest metal ever" named microlattice – a material which is 99.9% air! A Californian development, this is a way for both planes and rockets to obtain weight reduction. This 3D open cellular polymer structure will reduce fuel consumption a plane needs during take off, flying and landing. Currently, Boeing are looking in to using this structure internally on their planes so are researching the use of this new structure in areas, such as the floor, overhead compartments and in other fixtures so that a modern internal environment can be created for passengers.
Electroless Nickel Plating meets Boeing
Boeings researchers have discovered that the 3D open cellular polymer structure must be coated with electroless nickel plating, so that the structure has necessary strength required, due to its web of nickel-phosphorus alloy lattice tubes being just 100 nanometres thick. The theory behind using this new structure and coating it with electroless nickel plating is much more advanced in its theory for aerospace engineering, so has not been trialled yet for space-bound vehicles, including rockets. It is, however, known that it would be used for exactly the same weight saving reasons to go to space as it would be used in planes, but also because of its ability to compress. This means that objects sent in to space would expand post launch, thus reducing cargo hold space. Before this is used in space-bound vehicles, more research and evidence will be needed, but the revelation of the said 'lightest metal ever' is nevertheless a very exciting forward move scientifically.
Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating is a high quality, cost effective solution for metal coating, which elongates the life of a component substantially, because it leaves an equal thickness metal layer deposit spread evenly all over the surface of a component, irrelevant to its size or shape. Ideal due to its use in harsh environments due to its corrosion resistance, rust prevention and the fact that it does not chip or flake. This reduces the cost and frequency of repairs and replacements needed. Electroless nickel plating can be hardened up to 950vhn, self-lubricates and is non-magnetic. These are just some of the advantages of using electroless nickel plating as your coating of choice.
