Auto makers at the crossroads
Auto makers have been plunged into a period of rapid technological change and major business model disruption. They therefore need to break into new areas that will enable them to reclaim their leadership, lest they become the losers of the new mobility ecosystem.
While it is admittedly too early to say who the winners and losers in the mobility field will be, it is already beyond doubt that players will be competing in the area of data management.
Manufacturers and equipment suppliers are now focusing all their efforts on data collection and attempting to retain ownership of automobile data.
To be able to provide mobility solutions, players must move into various new areas of expertise spanning connected, driverless, shared and electric vehicles.
Manufacturers are initially focused on equipping connected vehicles with sensors, with an average budget of €500-€1,000 per unit; however, one of the trickiest points will be completely re-engineering vehicles' electrical architecture and operating systems. And this is an area in which technology players appear to have no difficulty being more competitive than auto makers.
The result of these far-reaching structural supply-side changes is that vehicle fleets in service account for a growing proportion of the market, and subscribers' experience is gradually becoming the critical success factor in the mobility industry, along with large-scale data collection and network connection.
At the same time, the sector's transformation is also being driven by marketing, prompting auto makers to rebrand as mobility players and step up their efforts to upgrade the user experience, with many of their former partners having become their competitors. Rental companies, leasing companies and suppliers of "cars as a service" are all now operating in the same market with sharing, leasing and financing products.
The key drivers of the automotive sector are no longer simply sales volumes (i.e. new registrations) and a multiplier that takes into account the average purchase price, but rather an addressable market of millions of kilometres, with the multiplier becoming the delivery cost per kilometre.
The positive point is that this focus on mobility considerably changes the market size and outlook.
Shifting to a service subscription model also means scaling up: while 95 million light vehicles are sold worldwide every year at an average unit price of €14,000, giving a total of €1,333 billion, the size of the global personal transport services market is a multiple of the number of kilometres travelled – around 22,000 billion a year – giving a market value of roughly €5,200 billion, i.e. four times bigger!
Furthermore, growth rates are also higher when vehicles are operated on car-sharing platforms, since mobility services tend to encourage usage.
We think pursuing vertical integration towards a "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) model will enable auto makers to charge for additional services.
In our opinion, however, future mobility revenue will probably come less from transport itself (which will probably continue to operate at low margins, or even at cost for most operators) than from monetising the data collected, which is likely to be of interest to many other sectors.
As such, it would appear that auto makers are not necessarily best placed to develop data monetisation models. Indeed, deriving value from adjacent services is more the domain of online platforms and mobile internet players.
While tech companies like Amazon and Google have yet to build their own vehicle networks, they are already planning to dominate applications, operating systems and driverless vehicle technology, and are entering into strategic partnerships at the same time as attracting and retaining the most talented people.
Beyond the opportunities offered by this transition, auto makers are faced with increasing risks linked to their after-sales service, dealer networks, assets, and the residual value of their vehicles and, in particular, securitised portfolios.
Digitisation technology, Big Data, the Internet of Things and the advent of connected vehicles all improve the user experience. Meanwhile, the use of electric power simplifies maintenance and minimises the associated costs; even now, vehicles no longer require the same level of maintenance they used to.
Eventually, if the number of shared vehicles increases, it will logically no longer be necessary to produce as many vehicles; and, by becoming a critical component of every vehicle, electronics, and technology more generally, will marginalise equipment, with manufacturers becoming primarily hardware assemblers.
At the same time, manufacturers are having to step up their research and development efforts as well as facing a steep rise in manufacturing costs; with consumers either unwilling or unable to pay for these extra costs, profitability will be eroded.
Overall, manufacturers' B2C (business-to-consumer) models will shift towards a B2B (business-to-business) model with the emergence of huge fleets of vehicles; the key customers will be major shared mobility networks, weakening manufacturers' commercial position. There is nothing to say that mobility players will not be able, thanks to economies of scale, to recover most of the margin generated by the mobility value chain…

Sewer leaks are one of the most dreaded obstacles that homeowners have to face. They can cause unpleasant odors in the back yard or inside the house, as well as cause leaks inside the house. When a sewer isn't draining properly, it can cause significant damage inside or out. Unfortunately, sewer leaks are just one of those obstacles that are going to come up over the course of home-ownership. Although there are some measures you can take to help prevent sewer leaks, there's still a possibility that you'll experience one, and it's best to act on them quickly instead of letting problems fester into something worse.
Warning Signs
Perhaps the most common warning sign when it comes to sewer leaks is a puddling up of water in the yard. This is usually the first sign that something is going wrong. Usually, the puddle is in one specific, small portion of the yard, close to where your septic tank is located. If you don't know where your septic tank is located, but a puddle has amassed somewhere in your yard and isn't obviously connected to rain or some other source of water, it's a good indication that your sewer has a leak.
Act Quickly
If it seems like you might have a sewer leak, it's best to act on it sooner rather than later. If things start to pile up, it can cause a significant amount of damage that is really costly. Furthermore, a leak in your sewer is something that's very difficult for homeowners to fix on their own. It almost always requires the help of a trained professional. If you ty to act on it on your own and don't know exactly what you're doing, you can cause far more damage than good, and end up further in the whole.
Potential Damage
Sewer leaks can damage far more than just your sewer or pipes. If they go undetected or aren't fixed properly, they can start to damage items and appliances inside your home. Above and beyond that, you might lose running water altogether, which can be a terrible disaster if it occurs at a time when you have guests staying with you. The potential damage often exceeds what most people can fathom, which is why it's crucial to act on your sewer leak as soon as possible.
If you're unsure of whether or not your home is at risk, seeking out professionals for sewer leak detection in Milton, GA, can help prevent serious problems before they start, or help thwart problems during their early stages.

At the beginning of the season, there was ample speculation regarding the fate of Adam Scott as he was forced to abandon the long putter and anchored putting stroke upon which he had so effectively relied.
If that speculation was not put to rest when Scott won twice on the USPGA Tour in February and March, his name keeps cropping up on leaderboards.
He recently turned in a solid showing at The Barclays, the first of the FedEx Cup playoff events, where he said he abandoned any thoughts regarding technique and feel in order to set himself free and focus only on getting the putts to the hole.
He finished tied fourth there and backed that this week with another fourth in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
The surge came at the right time for Scott, as his putting had abandoned him somewhat during the middle of the season, but he has managed to keep himself in the FedEx Cup playoff picture and currently ranks number five in that series and number six in the official world golf rankings.
Scott has played 18 events on the Tour this year, and while his lofty standards might view his season as less than satisfying, he has made the cut in all 18 and has seven top-10 finishes. He is in the top-10 in eight other significant categories as well, including fifth in the critical category of average score at 69.433.

Will my root canal hurt?
Of all dental procedures, root canals have the most negative reputation. This is an unfair conclusion since root canal therapy actually relieves pain and swelling caused by an infection and is a valuable procedure designed to save your tooth.
At Dental Dimensions, we believe that all dental treatment can be comfortable – including root canal therapy.
Usually, patients will feel little-to-no discomfort during the root canal procedure because we thoroughly numb the tooth before we begin. Every patient is different. Rest assured that we will check in with you to make sure you stay comfortable while receiving treatment.
Modern techniques, materials, and local dental anesthetics make the root canal procedure more comfortable. Some post-treatment sensitivity is normal for a few days and can usually be managed with an over-the-counter pain medication, which will also assist with any inflammation left by the infection.
What To Expect
We will go over what to expect for your treatment and how to care for your tooth after you have a root canal so that you have all of the information you need to stay comfortable and healthy until your follow-up appointment.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency in St. Petersburg, FL, contact our dental office. We strive to treat emergencies quickly.

Thank you for taking us to your parade, Rachel. I felt as if I was right there, waving my flag, my heart filled with pride and love for our country ... and tears on my cheeks when those soldiers passed by. May God bless them all ... and may God Bless America!
Hello Rachel, This is a lovely tribute to the 4th of July. When I saw the Uncle Sam in costume, it took me back many years when my Uncle Benny, 6'7", was always Uncle Sam for the fourth of July parade. My grandmother made his costume and his picture would always be in the paper the next day. When my children were small and Uncle Benny came to visit one time, my five year old Diana, after looking at him bend over to get in the front door said, "Is that God?" We have laughed at that for years. Your photos and text as always, was a joy to read. I am glad you had a lovely 4th to enjoy. Ours was WET!!! All celebration plans had to be delayed until Sat.
I am laughing at myself for not realizing the pic was the BIG Chill cast. I loved that movie. I do recall the kitchen scene very well.
Thank you as always for the sweetest comments. You are such a dear person and you say the nicest things. You do know I feel exactly the same about you. I mean it. Smile.
Time to start the venison spaghetti sauce for supper. My grands love it. Me too.
Love, Jeanne
Thank you both for coming by!! You know it's such a bright moment to see your names appear (or your addresses on the sidebar counter).
These were mostly memories of past FOURTHS, parade days and such wonderful vignettes of the moments. All these pictures were from several years ago, just to mostly concentrate on the soldiers, past and present.
I don't know the older man in the elaborate uniform, but doesn't he have the most wonderful, timeless face? He really has a presence.
And Jeanne---Diana's comment just made me giggle! That would be a tale told MANY times in OUR family, especially on Independence Day.
And Venison Spaghetti! Haven't made in in YEARS. We always had ours mixed with pork trimmings & fat for "ground beef" for things like meatloaf and sauces, and with beef fat for hamburger patties. (and I wonder if I'm the only person to ever cook a deer NECK in aluminum foil with that Mushroom-Soup/Lipton-Onion-Soup roast recipe). It makes wonderful sandwiches, and was always fun to just set down for "picking."
Why is it that YOU TWO---Janie and Jeanne---always stir up such memories?
OH, Gosh...I just read the "Is that God?" again and went off in another fit of chuckles.
I've always thought that your 4th is just the perfect Independence day celebration I've ever heard of!

Class 1A NIC: repaid private fuel constituted a benefit for company fuel card holders
Extended periods of time allowed for a company's fuel card holders to provide details to the company of their private mileage expenses and repay the fuel provided constituted a benefit to the holders both in the ordinary sense of the word and a benefit in kind for the purposes of ITEPA 2003, s 62. Class 1A National Insurance contributions (NICs) liabilities therefore arose for the relevant tax years, except in respect of one time-barred tax year.
Two main issues arose to be decided by the First-tier Tribunal (FTT): (1) Whether the appellant's employees benefitted from arrangements to supply them fuel for private and personal use in their company cars; and (2) Whether, as the appellant argued, HMRC was unable to recover Class 1A NICs said to be due for the tax year 2008/09 because the six-year limitation period expired between 19 July 2009 (the time after the end of the tax year in which the NICs would be due) and 20 May 2016 (the date of decision requiring payment).
The first issue concerned 20 employees with company cars who were provided with company fuel cards to buy fuel for both business and private purposes. Company practice was that fuel card holders would email at the end of the tax year providing business and private mileage records for that year. They were told orally by the company accountant to provide the details before or shortly after the end of the year so that the company could raise an invoice for private fuel for payment by the employee on return.
Mileage records provided by the appellant demonstrated that claims submitted by employees covered the full year. Many reimbursements were not made until well after the tax year ended, and therefore failed to meet the requirement of ITEPA 2003, s 151, Condition A. The FTT stated that the appellant did not have robust measures in place and had failed to monitor the fuel benefit provided to fuel card holders in compliance with legislation over a number of years.
HMRC asserted that 'benefits' arose from private fuel provided to the fuel card holders and this was chargeable to those employees. The appellant maintained that the fuel card holders did not receive 'something for nothing' and reimbursed the full costs of private fuel used. Relying on the Court of Appeal decision in HMRC v Apollo Fuels Ltd [2016] EWCA Civ 157, the appellant reasoned there was therefore no 'benefit' or bounty to engage the car fuel benefit in kind charges of ITEPA 2003, s 149.
The FTT distinguished the facts of the present case from those in Apollo Fuels. A member of the public would not have been able to defer payment for at least 12 months, or sometimes up to two years, as the appellant's fuel card holders had done without attracting a penalty or interest for late payment. There were no contractual terms or deadlines governing when payments were required to be made by the relevant employees. In the FTT's view the employees received a 'benefit' in the ordinary sense of the word and a benefit in kind for the purposes of ITEPA 2003, s 62.
On the second issue, the FTT ruled that HMRC's decision in relation to the tax year 2008/09 was made outside the limitation period and was therefore time barred. A payment made by the appellant on 27 May 2015 did not evidence a contract or an estoppel by convention for the purposes explained in HMRC v Benchdollar Ltd and Ors [2009] EWHC 1310 (Ch) such that the limitation period did not apply.
The tribunal confirmed HMRC's decisions for the years 2009/10 and 2010/11 and ordered the appellant to pay the amounts of Class 1A NICs required. HMRC had issued protective claims in the County Court in respect of the appellant's tax liability for the tax years 2005/06 and 2006/07 to prevent them becoming time-barred, but did not oppose the FTT's decision to extend time to allow the appellant to appeal. The tribunal directed the parties to attempt to agree figures in the light of its directions. The appellant's appeal was allowed in part.

WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study Wireless Car Charging Market, Shares, Strategies and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013 to 2019. The 2013 study has 260 pages, 72 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as wireless car charging pads permit users to charge the electric auto without disconnecting/reconnecting cables. Electrical vehicle charging can be done anywhere just by driving the car over the charger and positioning it correctly to pick up the current.
Wireless charging in the automotive industry brings inductive power for EV cars. Short distance power transmission is based on magnetic induction. With this technology, power is transferred when the receiver is close to the transmitter. Magnetic induction has been used for decades in electronic equipment. It is good because it is simple, efficient, and safe. It is now being applied to charging for electric vehicles.
As power is induced through the primary charging coil, a magnetic field is produced. The magnetic field is received by the secondary coil. It is converted back into a voltage. Shielding can be added to either coil of the transformer system. The aim is to direct the field effects. This can be useful in multiple pad charging applications. The aim is to eliminate power cross-talk. Wireless inductive charging is gaining popularity for use in consumer rechargeable applications such as cordless power tools, net books, note books and other power-hungry rechargeable devices.
Market driving forces relate primarily to the need for efficient power generation for autos. Wireless car charger manufacturers are positioning car models with wireless charging to drive demand at the high end. Many electric vehicle car vendors are making wireless power a reality. Only two vehicles are supported now, the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf.
Wireless power is an emerging technology that creates a better charging experience for consumers. Just as Wi-Fi replaced the need to use an Ethernet cable for Internet connectivity, so also wireless power is making recharging wirelessly a feature that is demanded by consumers with an electric vehicle.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the WinterGreen Research team that prepared the study, "wireless car charging represents the major force impacting electrical charging. Car vendors are coming together to create standards and to leverage standards to gain competitive advantage with highly differentiated product sets."
Inductive wireless charging does not use as much grid electricity to achieve device charging. Electricity is generated in a coil. Inductive charging means the primary coil in the charger induces a current in the secondary coil in the device being charged.
Wireless charging is already available for-low power applications. The charging systems are suitable for electronic devices. Wireless chargers use magnetic induction. They offer the promise of being able to place a car over the charging device and have the electrical vehicle EV charge automatically - no fiddling with cables required. Remote power transfer is a complex business with some very fine tuning required to make it work well. Wireless charging is more accurately described as "inductive charging" because it uses magnetic induction.
Inductive charging uses magnetism to transmit energy. The current coming from the wall power outlet moves through the wire in the wireless charger, creating a magnetic field. The magnetic field creates a current in the coil inside the device. This coil is connected to the battery and the current charges the battery. Cars must have the appropriate hardware in them to support wireless charging - a device without the appropriate coil cannot charge wirelessly.
Consideration of wireless car charging market forecasts indicates that markets at $1.7 million will reach $4.6 billion by 2019. Growth comes as a result of the rapid adoption of electric vehicles that pushes the user base up by 2019. While wireless car charging is considered a perquisite for an EV, it is soon expected to become a necessary feature.

Between May 1917 and November 1918, 1.5 million American soldiers were transported to France. What if we had made a similar effort in Iraq?
Instead of having 150,000 soldiers in a sea of 70 million Muslims, we would then have a million soldiers in a sea of 700 million Muslims.
It's pretty much that simple. The problem is self-sustaining, and we are the problem. Making the numbers bigger just makes the problem bigger.

Before we can begin to designing our future airspace for an expanded Heathrow, we need to develop a set of principles or 'rules' to use when designing the new flight paths.
Our future airspace will need to accommodate the appropriate number of arriving and departing aircraft, safely and efficiently. We will also need to demonstrate that we have met all requirements set out in the airports National Policy Statement (ANPS). The draft ANPS includes requirements such as:
- Avoid significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life from noise;
- Mitigate and minimise adverse impacts on health and quality of life from noise; and
- Where possible contribute to improvements to health and quality of life.
However, beyond these core requirements, we expect to have a number of options and trade-offs to choose between when designing future flight paths.
What are we seeking feedback on?
This consultation is therefore seeking feedback on a set of key principles we have developed. We believe these principles address the issues highlighted most frequently by local communities and their representatives, and will enable us to develop airspace options that deliver an efficient and considerate expanded Heathrow.
Below are six key principles that we could use to redesign our airspace. We have provided some examples of how different principles might affect the developing design and for some of these principles we are aswking you to tell us your preferred option.
The prioritisation of one of these principles will compromise the ability to use another. For example, designing routes that reduce the total number of people overflown by aircraft might mean more concentrated flight paths over less populated areas, increasing the frequency of overflight for those affected but impacting fewer people.
On the other hand, if we adopt a principle to share routes over a wider areas, this is likely to increase the total number of people overflown by aircraft, but reduce the number of people most affected as the noise will be shared more equally. These options are explored in Principle 1.
We are seeking your views on how the options put forward within these principles should be prioritised. In principles 5 and 6 we propose on principle (rather than options) and we seek your feedback on these.
We will use your feedback to shape the design principles we use to guide our future airspace design.
The 6 key principles being consulted on

Walking across the campus of Bing Elementary School in Tampa, art is everywhere! Students' work is hanging on every building, attached to the fence and implemented into the staircase.
The school even has an art club for its fourth and fifth grade students.
Clearly, creativity is embraced at Bing.
"It allows them to express themselves," said Art Teacher Carol Blume. "I think art is very important. Everything is visual, I love seeing that spark of excitement."
That's why, when Bing was selected to participate in the Ameriprise Holiday Art Contest—along with Hammond Elementary and Alafia Elementary—Mrs. Blume jumped at the chance to have her students take part.
The Ameriprise Holiday Art Contest is the brainchild of Mr. Lance Becatti, a franchisee of Ameriprise for 35 years. "This is a gift from me to the schools to sponsor art creativity," said Mr. Becatti. "I have been very blessed and enjoy "paying it forward" especially with children, whenever I can."
Mr. Becatti challenged the schools to create holiday artwork that Ameriprise could send out as its holiday card.
Mrs. Blume's art students at Bing Elementary loved the idea of the contest, and spent several days working on their holiday art.
It paid off!
Bing Elementary won TWO of the awards!
Fourth grade student McKenzie Bowling was awarded an Honorable Mention and $250 from Mr. Becatti… And fourth grader Alex Calabrese won FIRST PLACE and $500!
That money will now go toward art supplies for Bing Elementary, which McKenzie says her school desperately needs.
"I feel happy because I think the school needs money to buy more art supplies," explained McKenzie. "Some kids don't have enough money for good stuff at home, so when they come to school they can have art supplies to do fun activities with."
McKenzie said she hopes the school spends the money on new sketchbooks and colored pencils and these really expensive art pens that she loves to work with.
Alex wants paint. A lot of paint!
Mrs. Blume can't wait to get them what they need. "We're in desperate need of art supplies," she said. "This is huge. I had to go out and buy markers for these kids to do projects with, there were no markers in the classroom… And the paints are in horrible shape. I'll be thrilled if I can spend the money on that."
While the money for art supplies is a wonderful bonus… The biggest prize is how winning makes the students feel. That is a big part of why Mr. Becatti started the contest. "I am trying to provide an outlet to recognize a child for their talent when personality, or social stature or just outright life, things may not be so good," he explained.
It's working.
When asked how he feels knowing his artwork will be displayed on holiday cards sent out by a big company, Alex smiled and said, "I feel happy, energetic… And proud!"

The Youth SAILING Champions League is the latest innovation to be launched out of the successful SAILING Champions League format, and 18 crews from eight nations are getting ready to compete against each other in Travemünde, Germany, from 27 to 29 July.
The first-ever league competition exclusively for sailors from 16 to 23 years old at Travemünde Week attracts prestigious yacht clubs from Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland. These talented young sailors will be the first to trial a new Final Series format to determine the regatta winner.
Some of the yacht clubs are already well-versed in the short-course windward-leeward style of racing that takes place in a professionally-maintained fleet of J/70 sportsboats. The Royal Danish Yacht Club (Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub) recently won the inaugural event in the Women's SAILING Champions League at Kiel Week, in addition to also leading the overall standings at this stage of the Danish National Sailing League 2018. Can helmsman Emil Kjaer uphold the honour of his prestigious Copenhagen yacht club against some stiff competition from across Europe?
Other clubs with good form at the senior level include Circolo della Vela Bari, with the team from southern Italy clinching the first SAILING Champions League semifinal in Porto Cervo a few weeks ago. There is nothing to stop the under-23 sailors from competing in the other League events, and it's those that carry prior experience through from other regattas that are likely to be threatening for the podium in Travemünde.
Catharina Sandman, one of 17 female sailors competing in Travemünde, from the Finnish entry Nyländska Jaktklubben said: "Our team consists of two girls and three boys and our background is mostly in dinghies such as the Optimist, Laser, 29er and 49er. We have all been sailing together since we were kids mostly competing against each other so we are really excited to finally team up and join forces. We are very much looking forward to the first Youth SAILING Champions League and we are expecting tough competition with great spirit."
Trial of new Final Series
As well as being the first ever youth event in the league format, there is a new Final Series being trialled which should bring the event to a more exciting, spectator-friendly conclusion. The top four boats from the Qualifying stage go through to the Final Series, carrying forward their ranking from Qualifying as a single race score. The winner of Qualifying would carry through a race win, the runner-up would carry through two points, and so on.
Now the Final Series can begin with just four boats in the race, and the teams will race against each other until one team has won two races. If the winner of Qualifying wins the first race of the Final Series, they become the outright winner of the regatta. On the other hand, the maximum number of races that could take place is four, if the race wins have been evenly distributed across all four teams.
Founder and co-organiser of the SAILING Champions League, Oliver Schwall commented: "We've got a good feeling about this 'first to two wins' format. It's an experiment, but the beauty of this system is that the winner of the last race becomes the overall winner. We feel that this system offers a good balance between rewarding a consistent performance throughout the Qualifying stage, while also keeping the tension and excitement until the very last race of the competition.
The youth competitors will be following in the footsteps of the senior circuit, with 36 clubs having just raced at Travemünde last weekend for the German Sailing League.
Nynne Ammundsen, General Secretary from ISLA (International Sailing League Association) was delighted to see such a good showing of teams from across Europe: "Following the runaway success of the league format over the past five years, establishing a youth league was an obvious next step. We're delighted to see such a strong uptake for this first event in the Youth SAILING Champions League and I'm sure the competition will be every bit as fierce as we see at the senior level. The youth is the future and therefore ISLA can only applaud all the great work that has been done so far to make the Youth SAILING Champions League event happen."
Livestream and results by SAP
As with all SAILING Champions League events, the final day of racing on Sunday will be live broadcasted by SAP from 12:00 hrs (CEST), with expert commentators providing blow-by-blow analysis of the racing, aided by the detail provided by SAP Sailing Analytics.

Nicol Turner-Lee, PH.D., has been selected as president and chief executive officer of the National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC), a leading 501(c)(6) trade organization. For more than 30-years, NAMIC has educated, advocated and empowered to promote multi-ethnic diversity in the cable and telecommunications arena. Dr. Turner-Lee will begin her new post at NAMIC effective April 2, 2012.
Currently, Dr. Turner-Lee is vice president and the first director of the Media and Technology Institute at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a 42 year old public policy institute focused on issues of concern to African Americans and other people of color. During her tenure at the Joint Center, Dr. Turner-Lee developed the Media and Technology Institute into a signature policy and research arm that is focused on increasing representation and ownership in broadband and broadcast for people of color. Her signature work included the design and development of the first "National Minority Broadband Adoption Study" that has been cited by government, industry, and community based organizations interested in understanding minority internet use. Most notably, the study was cited in the Federal Communications Commission's congressionally mandated National Broadband Plan, and the FCC's subsequent report detailing the information needs of communities.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Nicol Turner-Lee to the NAMIC family and are particularly excited about the breadth of knowledge and experience she brings to the table," stated Ray Gutierrez, chairman, NAMIC Board and executive vice president, Human Resources for CBS Television Networks.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead NAMIC, with its over 30 years of history advocating for diversity in the cable and telecommunications industry," said Dr. Turner-Lee. "I look forward to continuing their legacy and ensuring that we serve the needs of the companies and professionals in this space."
Prior to the Joint Center, Dr. Turner-Lee was an executive at One Economy Corporation – a global nonprofit that uses the power of technology and information to expand opportunities for low-income people – serving most recently as senior vice president for External Affairs in charge of public relations, national strategic partnerships, and business development.
Additionally, she has been recognized with several awards including recognitions from the Alliance for Women in Media 60 @ Sixty Women in Media, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women – Northern Virginia and as one of the 2007 "Top 10 National Broadband Promoters" by Broadband Properties Magazine. In 2011, she was also appointed to the Federal Advisory Committee on Diversity in the Digital Age by the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and was selected by Time Warner Cable as one of four participants in their signature Digital Research Program evaluating minority attitudes toward digital privacy and security.
Dr. Turner-Lee is a member of the board of directors for the Community Renewal Society, Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC), Telecommunications and Policy Research Conference (TPRC), and the Alliance for Women in Media. Dr. Turner-Lee is a former Research Fellow with Northwestern University's Asset-Based Community Development Institute, and a former Ford Foundation Rockwood Leadership Fellow. She is the author of numerous research and policy publications, and regularly appears at national and local conferences.
Dr. Turner-Lee received her Bachelor of Arts degree with Honors from Colgate University and her Doctorate of Sociology from Northwestern University. She also holds certification in non-profit management from University of Illinois – Chicago and was a former research fellow for the Asset-Based Community Development Institute at Northwestern University.

Its board features permanent seats held by Microsoft Corp., IBM Corp., Oracle Corp, and BEA Systems Inc., but has excluded Sun's involvement until now, according to Sun officials. The company had the option to join but chose not to because it could not serve on the board.Now that Sun can become a WS-I board member, as per a recently approved by-laws, it is signing up.Neil Charney, director of .Net strategy at Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., and a WS-I spokesperson, described the mandate of the group."It's not a standards organization; it's downstream from groups like W3C and OASIS," he said. "Its goal is to provide clarity and support for developers and end users. We're not creating SOAP and WSDL – those have been created and are residing within other organizations – we're creating the guidelines for how these technologies should work togetherto ensure interoperability."

Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art First Look
See my Sigma DG HSM Art wishlist.
I wont't be able to post much from the field this trip—just too short a time. Full coverage will have to wait until I return home. Shooting in snow is hard to do for many reasons, but mainly access/slogging.
The Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art is a spectacularly good lens—the best yet from Sigma, impressive by just about any standard. I rank it up there with Zeiss Otus lenses overall and yet it falls grievously short in one key area: pronounced (stunningly unexpected!) focus shift (flare resistance is also a concern).
Add in troublesome front-focusing errors on the Nikon D850, and the Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art is a sort of idiot-savant lens in that front-focus errors tend to cancel out focus shift by f/2.8 or so, so that sorts itself out, which is good or hundreds of shots would have been junk. Problem is, using Fine Focus Adjust to cancel out focus errors for f/1.4 and f/2 screws up stopped down performance because the focus shift no longer cancels-out the AF error <gah!!!!!>run screaming into creek to wake from bad dream</gah!!!!!>.
Correction for secondary color is among the best I have ever seen wide open at f/1.4, though the image below is stopped down, it looks just as good in terms of color at f/1.4.

Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club by Megan Gail Coles is one of the most powerful books we have ever read. It is so authentic that it hurts at times. It's not by any means a light read, or for the faint of heart. It is brilliantly written and shows us important truths. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have our questions answered by Megan Gail Coles.
Small Game Hunting At The Local Coward Gun Club has an amazing build and pace. I honestly couldn't put it down. When you started writing, did you know how the story would end?
I knew the story would end with Iris and Olive. And I knew it would not be a tidy ending. Life is messy. It is beautiful and raw and horrifying, it is moving and surprising and unknowable. All of this conflicting action and reaction is ceaselessly messy regardless of the emotional resonance so it was my intent to reflect that in the ending. To acknowledge the range of living that is present in each human experience while also acknowledging that stories never truly end. In this way the narrative structure is non-linear and expansive. It was not my artistic intention to leave the reader feeling reassured. In fact, it is my intention to accomplish the opposite. The responsibility belongs to us all, what happens next will be impacted by how we choose to meet the challenges in our lives and communities. There are Iris' and Olives living amongst us. How their story ends depends on everyone. We are altogether implicated in this ending.
It felt so authentic and familiar to see how the mistreatment of Iris and Olive caused them both to value themselves so little. Do you think loneliness and unfamiliarity with be properly loved and protected can be dangerous?
Doubting your human value is intrinsic to exploitation. The world is built rough to dehumanize and marginalize individuals to uphold a construct that allows a select few to lord over them. Iris and Olive are taught to think less than themselves to serve an oppressive colonial narrative that allows the hierarchy and patriarchy in their communities to carry on unscathed. They are intentionally alienated from themselves by the construct that benefits from their self-alienation. But they are not accepting it. We are with them, fully immersed, as they struggle to keep hold of themselves and each other. This is their power. They see value in each other and sometimes acknowledging the value in others is the most a person is capable of.
It stayed with me how haunting it was when Iris had to tell Olive that, "Olive is in charge of Olive." Can you describe the factors that caused her to not see that to be true?
Olive has been ruled by systems beyond her control and so feels out of control. She has not been in charge of her person. The settling of the island displaced her First Nations ancestors and so self-determination has been eroded over the entirely of this bloodline. Her settler ancestors fled vicious consolidation of power only to find themselves beholden to it in this new place. Everywhere they turn all are faced with the same conditions of governance. So Olive's personhood has been forever ruled over by others who benefit from her subjugation. It should come a no surprise, though it does for many, that she feels subject to those who identify with power. This is by design. But both Iris and Olive have lived alongside another reality that allows for bodily autonomy and as a result, they are striving doggedly after it. Even in the moments they question whether it is meant for them, they do not question that this is meant for each other. And everyone who reads the book and discovers a kinship for them is a newfound alley in their pursuit of happiness. This is my hope for the novel. I want it to bind us together with well-earned compassion.
We know all great writers are readers. Can you please share with us who some of your favourite authors are?
Zadie Smith and Anna Gavalda. Old Murakami. All Vonnegut. I cried when Gabriel Garcia Marquez died. My partner at the time scolded me for doing so. I broke up with that guy. He didn't understand me at all.
Why do you think reading and storytelling is so special?
I would not know how to live without storytelling. It is how I have learned to communicate, how I attempt to know and be known. Feeling lost and unknown is heartbreakingly lonesome. Reading can lessen this and so it is essential in its purpose. Like anything essential, it holds a lot of power and people have been using it against the collective good since its inception. But there are always storytellers who holdfast to the fundamental principle of storytelling and I aim to be on that side of narrative history. It is what I am trying for.

Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing Repair in Marlborough, Connecticut
Marlborough, CT
Located right on Lake Terramuggus, the town of Marlborough, Connecticut's origins can actually be traced back to the mid-17th century when Sadler's Ordinary opened, hosting and entertaining colonial travelers on the road from Hartford to New London. Still in operation today, Sadler's Ordinary remains a popular dining destination for both locals and tourists alike.
In 1747, the colonial General Assembly designated the area an ecclesiastical society, giving it the name Marlborough. Incorporated as a "distinct town" in 1803, Marlborough's chief industry was in the manufacturing of textiles, aided by the construction of the New London Turnpike during the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, the industry was decimated following the burning of the town's last mill in 1907.

Religious observance in China is on the rise. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is officially atheist, but it has been growing more tolerant of religious activity for the past twenty years.
Buddhism, Islamism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism have all developed quite a lot in this country.
China has the most Buddhist adherents in the world, followed by Japan. However, since Buddhists did not have congregational memberships and often did not participate in public ceremonies, it was difficult to estimate accurately the number of them.
Taoism is based on the writings of Laozi, who wrote that the path to true happiness lies in living in harmony with the natural world.
Confucianism is a philosophy based on the teachings of Confucius, who believed that society functions best if people respect the laws and behave according to their positions in society.

A dog skin allergy can occur frequently and may be problematic to treat. The skin can get dry, itchy and irritated and it may take a long time for this condition to heal. The allergies may be caused by different irritants which must be identified to be able to relieve the dog's itching, scratching and discomfort.
Discover the Irritant
The first step in treating the dog's skin allergy is to discover what causes the irritation. The irritant may be discovered by thinking about the possible substances the dog has been in contact with:
- Shampoo may irritate the skin
- Sprays (i.e. anti flea spray) may also cause contact dermatitis
- Plants
- Chemicals including detergents, soaps or fragrances
- Insects and parasites/ flea bites
- Food
- Drugs
Once discovered, the exposure of the dog must be eliminated if possible or at least limited. You will see that after limiting the dog's exposure to these irritants, the reactions will diminish.
There are also other conditions such as fungal infections that may also cause dermatitis and rashes, so a vet needs to establish the cause of the skin irritation.
Skin Allergy Treatment
The treatment of the skin allergy will depend greatly on the irritant. In addition to the limitation of the dog's exposure to the irritants, you may use some steroid topical ointments that will relieve the itchiness and heal the skin. Alternatively, you may opt for sprays containing hydrocortisone or antihistamine medication.
You should also bathe your dog on a regular basis to remove the irritants from his coat; the irritants may be inhaled or may penetrate the skin through the skin pores. You may use dish soap or a hypoallergenic shampoo.
Benadryl is a drug that may be administered to dogs with skin allergies. The dosage should be 1 mg per pound of body weight once every 8 hours; however, make sure you consult the vet prior to administering the drug. If the allergies are more severe, Benadryl will not be effective and the dog will need a stronger prescription drug or even injections. Antihistamines and steroids will be prescribed.
Dry, flaky and irritated skin occurs in dogs with a weaker immune system or in dogs with an unsuitable diet. Supplements can help improving the skin of the dog. There are a lot of coat and skin supplements available in pet stores.
Fish or olive oil added to the dog's diet will normalize the skin's pH and make the coat shinier. Talk to your vet for additional vitamins and supplements; if need be you may change your dog's diet.
Typically, skin allergies are not an emergency, but they cause a lot of itchiness and discomfort, so you should get treatment. The only emergency is if your dog develops anaphylactic shock (to insect bites or injections) he will get extremely swollen and irritated immediately after the exposure to the allergen. In this case, you need to rush to the vet to get an antihistamine shot. Other symptoms of an anaphylactic shock include panting, excessive salivation, vomiting or seizures.


text: Falcon Posted June 1, 2010 I've seen the threads, hell I've even argued against this Ask malware 'til I'm blue in the face. And I did say I'd said my last hoorah about it as well. And I've held up on my end of the bargain... well, until the ImgBurn installer didn't hold up on its own. But this time, the very reason I'd been holding off on installing ImgBurn on my new laptop, actually came to fruition. Ask Toolbar actually did, in fact, slip in without so much as even a prompt. Take a look. I think just having this Ask Toolbar in my programs list at all is perfect proof that it slipped in under the radar (take a look at the install date in relation to ImgBurn). I would never have left that box checked. And I was actually keeping an eye out for the checkbox, or the delay in the wizard. Curiously, there was no page prompting me to install Ask. There was a slight delay between the page just before installing, and actually installing, though. It seems like the logic for the page just figured that last button I clicked would apply there too! So I dunno. Just take this as a bug report. I'm fuming pissed that Ask infected my computer, but at least it didn't hijack my Firefox (from what I can tell... yet. I haven't restarted it). From what I understand, some changes have been made to place the inexplicable delay at the installer startup (so for no good reason, it'll take a few seconds to open, in which time the user will likely re-launch the installer) instead of in middle of the installer... for a malware installer that nobody wants anyway (grr).

Sedation Dentistry for Children
In contrast to general anesthesia (which renders the child unconscious), dental sedation is only intended to reduce the child's anxiety and discomfort during dental visits. In some cases, the child may become drowsy or less active while sedated, but this will quickly desist after the procedure is completed.
When is sedation used?
Sedation is used in several circumstances. Firstly, very young children are often unable to keep still long enough for the pediatric dentist to perform high-precision procedures safely. Sedation makes the visit less stressful for both children and adults and vastly reduces the risk of injury. Secondly, some children struggle to manage anxiety during dental appointments. Sedation helps them to relax, cope, and feel happier about treatment. Thirdly, sedation is particularly useful for children with special needs. It prevents spontaneous movement, and guides cooperative behavior.
What are the most common types of sedation?
Most pediatric dentists have several sedation options available, and each one comes with its own particular benefits. The dentist will assess the medical history of the child, the expected duration of the procedure, and the child's comfort level before recommending a method of sedation.
Conscious sedation allows children to continually communicate, follow instructions, and cooperate during the entire procedure. The major methods of conscious sedation are described below:
Nitrous oxide - The pediatric dentist may recommend nitrous oxide (more commonly known as "laughing gas") for children who exhibit particular signs of nervousness or anxiety. Nitrous oxide is delivered via a mask, which is placed over the child's nose. Nitrous oxide is always combined with oxygen – meaning that the child can comfortably breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Laughing gas relaxes children extremely quickly, and can produce happy, euphoric behavior. It is also quick acting, painless to deliver, and wears off within a matter of minutes. Before removing the mask completely, the pediatric dentist delivers regular oxygen for several minutes, to ensure the nitrous oxide is eliminated from the child's body. On rare occasions, nitrous oxide may cause nausea. For this reason, most pediatric dentists suggest minimal food intake prior to the appointment.
Oral sedation - Children who are uncooperative, particularly anxious, or unable to control their muscles for prolonged periods, may be offered an oral sedative. Oral sedatives come in many different forms (usually tablets, pills, and liquids), and may make the child feel drowsy. If oral sedatives are to be used, the pediatric dentist may require parents to prepare the child before the appointment. Some common preparatory measures may include: limiting food and fluid intake prior to the appointment, having the child wear comfortable clothing to the appointment, and preparing to stay with the child for several hours after the appointment. Oral sedatives rarely produce serious side effects; nausea is among the most common.
Other forms of conscious sedation - Other less common ways to administer sedatives include intravenous (IV sedation), the use of suppositories, and even the use of a nasal spray. In most cases, the method of delivery may change, but the chemical nature of the sedative remains the same.
What about general anesthetic?
General anesthetic (which puts the child in a deep sleep), is rarely used in dental work unless:
General anesthetic requires more intensive preparation before the treatment and a longer period of recovery after the treatment. Conscious sedation is usually favored wherever possible.
If you have questions or concerns about sedation techniques, please contact our practice.
Awesome people. Helpful, courteous and empathetic. I cannot recommend this dental office enough.
Just wanting to say I am very pleased with the staff dentists they make me welcome as a family member very patient and they care about their clients
I have been going to Oshawa Center Dental for over 20 years now and couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of their work. Great cleanings and the best dentist I have ever had.

Exciting news. Our app has a new name – Healthily. Learn more
Sunbeds give out ultraviolet (UV) rays that increase your risk of developing skin cancer (both malignant melanoma and non-melanoma). Many sunbeds give out greater doses of UV rays than the midday tropical sun.
The risks are greater for young people. Evidence shows:
In the UK, it's illegal for people under the age of 18 to use sunbeds. The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 makes it an offence for someone operating a sunbed business to permit under-18s to:
Sunbeds, sunlamps and tanning booths give out the same type of harmful radiation as sunlight. UVA rays make up about 95% of sunlight.
They can cause your skin to age prematurely, making it look coarse, leathery and wrinkled. UVB rays make up about 5% of sunlight and burn your skin.
A tan is your body's attempt to protect itself from the damaging effect of UV rays. Using a sunbed to get a tan is not safer than tanning in the sun.
It may even be more harmful, depending on factors such as:
Prolonged exposure to UV rays increases your risk of developing malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.
You cannot always see the damage UV rays cause. The symptoms of skin damage can take up to 20 years to appear.
UV rays can also damage your eyes, causing problems such as irritation, conjunctivitis or cataracts, particularly if you do not wear goggles.
The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) issued advice on the health risks associated with UV tanning equipment, such as sunbeds, sunlamps and tanning booths.
They recommend you should not use UV tanning equipment if you:
The HSE advice also includes important points to consider before deciding to use a sunbed.
For example, if you decide to use a sunbed, the operator should advise you about your skin type and how long you should limit your session to.

Will Chivalry of a Failed Knight ever release? There are many factors that determine whether an anime will receive a sequel or not. The reason is easy to understand: many aspects of a work are tied to its initial production. Before getting into this prospect for Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 2 let's see what is the anime about.
Chivalry of a Failed Knight (also known as Rakudai Kishi no Kyabarurii) is a Japanese light novel series authored by Riku Misora and illustrated by Won. It was adapted into an anime by Silver Link/Nexus and aired from October 3, 2015, to December 19, 2015. It has received a high score of 7.72 on MyAnimeList. The fans enjoyed the series when it was released and have been asking for a sequel ever since.
The Plot Of Chivalry Of A Failed Knight
In this world, there exist few that people who have the ability to control and wield their souls into powerful weapons of battle. These weapons are known as "Blazers." The people who can access Blazers, study and train at Hagun Academy, a prestigious academy where they can train to become Mage-Knights.
Among those students is Ikki Kurogane, our main protagonist; he has access to an F-rated Blazer. He soon gets into an issue with Stella Vermillion, an A-ranked Blazer; which ends up in them battling each other. Chivalry of a Failed Knight's story follows the life of Ikki Kurogane as he tries to prove his worth to a world that believes him to be the weakest. Throughout his journey, he gains new friends, experience, and wisdom.

• Trinity Seven Season 2: Has The Release Date Been Postponed?
Potential Spoilers For Chivalry Of A Failed Knight Season 2
The following section is based on our speculation. The officials have not confirmed any of the following information. If you do not wish to spoil the show for yourself, skip this section.
Since Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 1 ended with Ikki and his friends representing their academy at Seven Star Sword Arts Festival, the second season is most probably going to focus on the tournament; with a tournament arc early on in the season.
The battle between Stella and Shizuku for Ikki's attention will remain strong even though Stella is now Ikki's bride. Ikki will gain an upgrade in his Blazer abilities, most likely a new move or maybe something that fixes his once per day usage of his Noble Art.
Chivalry Of A Failed Knight Season 2 Release Date
There are many factors that will define if an anime will receive a sequel or not. The studio and producers have not announced or revealed any news regarding Chivalry of a Failed knight Season 2 release date.
Unless you count the post on their website which said "Coming Soon" regarding Chivalry of a Failed Knight Season 2. This announcement, however vague, solidifies the chances of the sequel releasing. The question is, when?
One factor is popularity; Chivalry of a Failed Knight does not lack in that aspect. With over 1.7 million copies sold in Japan for the light novel and around 20,000 DVD/similar platforms sales per week for the anime, the show is pretty popular over in Japan. Also, the community has been continuously requesting for a sequel to Chivalry of a Failed Knight.
So the studio can rest assured that if they do pick up the anime, it definitely will receive massive amounts of attention. Another factor is funding; if you read the previous factor, then it should be pretty self-explanatory. With that much amount of sales, brings enormous amounts of revenue, which can be invested on the sequel to make even more revenue.
Source material remains one of the most important factors for an anime that was adapted from a source; in this instance, the light novel. Since the official website has given us information about Season 2 releasing, we can safely assume that there is enough source material for the studio to work on without going into the specific details.

6 Things To Expect From Season 2 Of '13 Reasons Why'
Season two of '13 Reasons Why' will start shooting soon, but what will the story be about? We've gathered everything that we know so far about the highly-anticipated season two.
The final episode of season one of 13 Reasons Why left us with many questions and left many characters' storylines up in the air — many we'll see somewhat of a resolution of during season two. Executive producer Brian Yorkey recently confirmed that next season will include a small time jump, picking up a few months after the first season ended with Hannah's suicide. So, what else do we know?
1. More Hannah Baker story
While she will not conduct the voice overs next season, there's much more to come from Hannah's story and life in season two. "I think season two will give us a look at a lot of things—a lot of the events that we think we know, we may learn are more complicated than we thought, and Hannah is even more complicated than we saw season one," Brian said during an FYC panel on June 2 in Los Angeles.
2. The aftermath for Jessica
While many have said Jessica's story ended in the finale when she told her dad about the rape, Brian feels that her story has actually just started; many times when TV or films feature rapes, they don't show the aftermath. "It's covered in three to five episodes, and then you see them move onto a new love interest," Brian said. "Having spoken to many rape survivors and having many of them close to me…it's a life-long process, so Jessica's story is just beginning." He also added that along with Clay, Jessica has the most healing to do — something we'll definitely see.
3. New voiceovers
There will still be a voice over in every episode, but this time around, it won't be Hannah's. While the team hasn't yet confirmed if it will be a different voice in every episode, Brian has revealed that a story will still be told from different timelines.
4. Out with cassette tapes, in with…
While there aren't any other tapes, there is a different medium being used in season two. "There is a different sort of analog technology that plays a hugely important role in season 2," Brian told EW. "So the cassette tapes aren't at the center of it — those two boxes of tapes are still hanging around and matter to people — but there will be a new piece of technology for 13-year-olds to Google and try to understand what it was."
5. Bryce may or may not face punishment.
Let's be clear: Bryce (Justin Prentice) is the least-redeemable character in season one after partaking in two intense rape scenes — but will he every face the consequences? "[I want to] see somebody punch Bryce in the face," Brian said, adding that the question of "Will Bryce be brought to justice?" will be answered. I have a feeling Jessica's dad will have something to do with that.
6. What about Alex?
Overall, season two will be answering a ton of questions that we were all left with on the finale — one being, what happened to Alex? The finale left it up in the air whether or not he would survive a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. "It was interesting to see similarities between Alex and Hannah, because there are a lot of warning signs throughout the season," actor Miles Heizer told THR. "That's another subject that's very rarely shown onscreen and is probably a lot more common than people think it is. People attempting to take their lives and it not happening, I'm sure that will bring a crazy set of issues. It would be interesting to go into that."
HollywoodLifers, what else do you hope to see next season?
