Can Instagram's Mobile-Only Strategy Work for Other Apps?
Among Facebook's motives for buying Instagram, the photo-sharing app's success on mobile was clearly a big draw.
In the short year-and-a-half since its launch, Instagram has grown to 30 million users — and did it all without a website.
The app only lives on mobile and, until launching an Android version earlier this month, could only be downloaded on iOS devices. Photos can be uploaded to a user's Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and other social presences. However, there's no database of Instagram photos or even user profiles that can be found on the web. While independent developers have created websites to accompany the app, there is no Instagram interface for users to access online. It's a world that exists only in the palm of your hand: It's mobile-only.
For those trying to make sense of that $1 billion price tag, this raises a number of questions. Do you need a website or can a mobile app succeed on its own? Is this a viable strategy for other apps or is Instagram truly an anomaly?
We asked a few mobile experts to share their opinions on Instagram and whether mobile-only is really the next frontier for social networks.
Mobile Is Everywhere
Mobile-only is totally a viable strategy. I think a lot of smart, educated people underestimate the potential of mobile because they spend all day in front of desktop and laptop computers.
White-collar analysts often overlook the fact that the mobile phone is the primary computing device for many, if not most, people. If you spend all day on your feet waiting tables, working construction, or tending patients, why wouldn't you buy your plane tickets, iTunes songs, and new shoes on your mobile phone? To understand the potential of mobile, all you need to do is, next Friday night, take a second to look up from your mobile to notice that no one else is.
— Brett Martin, Founder and CEO, Sonar
The Web Has Velocity
I think it's misleading to say that Instagram saw incredible success without a website. A large driver of growth for Instagram was the ability for users to syndicate their photos to Twitter and Facebook, which then led people to the companion Instagram photo page on the web. While that web companion may have not been robust, it was critical as it was the asset Instagram users were building by using the mobile app.
Mobile apps are terrific for publishing, but I believe they require a web companion to create a fully circular and viral loop. It's very difficult to grow virally without giving your users something they want to share via Facebook and Twitter.
— Bart Stein, Co-founder, Stamped
Focus on a Compelling Experience
I think a "read-only" website is sufficient in many cases. A basic viewable website allows a mobile app to reach the open web and provide registered users and non-users alike a consistent viewing experience when you share your photos using links on the web or social platforms like Twitter or Facebook. To share photos or interact with these photos, you can install the native mobile app for the full capabilities and rich experience as a registered user.
There isn't a single right answer. It all depends on how much interaction across the web your mobile app requires to make it a compelling experience for people who often use multiple social networks.
— Steve Jang, Co-founder, Chief Product Designer and CEO, SoundTracking
Mobile Gives Us Superpowers
Instagram made a smart bet that we currently have more spare attention — more emotional and cognitive bandwidth — while using our mobile phones than we do when viewing a website on a desktop browser.
My iPhone gives me superpowers. My computer needs things from me. A kind of emotional transference then happens when looking at content on my mobile phone, it's a treat to stay a little longer. I feel like I'm being let in on a secret. If you're trying to discern a launch or product strategy, the baked-in intimacy and ubiquity of mobile shouldn't be ignored.
— Jennifer Brook, Interaction Design Lead, Method
Content Can Dictate the Platform
I think any app that is built around taking photos and videos or location can forgo a website. Mobile apps excel at these things.
I tend to think of a website (or a mobile app for that matter) as a means to an end — offering a feature or experience to the user. If a website is not critical to the experience you're building, you may be able to skip it, which can save a lot of time and energy, allowing development to focus on the core product.
— Andy Mroczkowski, Co-founder, MindSnacks
Consider Your Community
I don't think success with a mobile-only strategy is limited to Instagram. One of my favorite examples is an app called Grindr. I don't know what Grindr would be like with a website. There would be so many things that could go wrong.
The difference with Instagram is, yes, it's app-only but you can share things online. All the cross-posting to Twitter and Facebook means nothing if people can't see the content on the web. It's one thing to have mobile be your focus, it's another to eschew the web entirely in favor of the app because you're cutting your content off from a significant number of people.
— Benjamin Jackson, iOS Consultant
I, along with Brett Martin, Co-founder and CEO of Sonar, Steve Jang, Co-founder, Chief Product Designer and CEO of SoundTracking and Bart Stein, Co-founder of Stamped, will be exploring mobile-only social networking at our signature conference, Mashable Connect. We'll discuss why they chose to create apps, best practices for maintaining them and, of course, what other startups might take away from the Facebook-Instagram deal. See below for all the details.

Product Overview
Licensed and approved by The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC), Carbery Bunded Heating Oil Tanks are approved for the storage of heating oil at agricultural, commercial, domestic, industrial and institutional premises. Every Carbery Bunded Tank benefits from 'tank within a tank' construction. Oil is stored within the inner tank, whilst the outer tank (or 'bund'), acts as a failsafe in the event of a spill.
Bunded Tanks are today a requirement at oil storage installations at most agricultural and domestic installations in the UK, together with all commercial, industrial and institutional premises. Installing a Single Skin Oil Tank where a Bunded Tank is required is an offence, punishable by heavy fines.
All Carbery tanks are manufactured in the company's ISO9001 accredited production facilities in Clonakilty, West Cork – an internationally recognised centre of excellence for the research, development and manufacture of rotationally moulded products. All Carbery oil tanks are fully tested prior to despatch and they benefit from nationwide service support.
Standard Equipment
All Carbery Bunded Heating Oil Tanks are supplied complete with:
Additionally, Carbery tanks can be supplied complete with Apollo Ultrasonic Oil Tank Contents Gauge, Apollo Smart Heating Oil Energy Monitor and Bottom Outlet Oil Tank Fitting Kit as extra cost options. Just specify at time of order.
Why choose a Carbery tank?
Established in 1977, Carbery is today one of the fastest growing oil tank brands in the UK. You can choose a Carbery Bunded Tank with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you'll benefit from:

Availability date:
This gyroscope board is a basic carrier/breakout board for the ST LPY550AL dual-axis gyro, which measures the angular rates of rotation about the pitch (x) and yaw (z) axes. Two separate analog voltage outputs for each axis provide angular velocity ranges of ±500°/s and ±2000°/s. This board has a 3.3V regulator for easy integration with 5 V parts, includes a low-pass filter on each output for noise reduction, and is smaller than competing products, all at a lower price.
Discontinuation Notice: These dual axis gyros are being replaced by the L3G4200D 3-axis gyro and will be discontinued when stock runs out. They are not recommended for new designs where continued part availability is important.
These two-axis gyros are essentially carrier boards or breakout boards for ST's LPR510AL, LPY510AL, LPR550AL, and LPY550AL MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) gyroscopes; we therefore recommend careful reading of the the corresponding datasheets (listed under the "resources" tab) before using these products.
These parts are all members of ST's latest family of dual-axis gyroscopes that differ only in their sensitivities and axes of rotation. Boards marked with a black X on the bottom silkscreen have ±100°/s and ±400°/s ranges; boards marked with a red X have ±500°/s and ±2000°/s ranges (each chip provides two sensitivities per axis—1x and 4x—and both are brought out to the user I/O on these carrier boards).
Although these are great ICs, their small, leadless packages make them difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to use. They also operate at 2.7 V to 3.6 V, which can make interfacing difficult for microcontrollers operating at 5 V. These carrier boards address both issues while keeping the overall size at half a square inch.
The axes of rotation are pitch (x) and roll (y) for LPR5x0AL parts and pitch and yaw (z) for LPY5x0AL parts; the relevant axes are indicated on the board silkscreens (shown above). The LPR versions are particularly well-suited for balancing robots with vertical PC boards since one axis can provide tilt-related information and the other can provide heading information. The LPY version can be used in pairs with one unit perpendicular to the other to make a flat three-axis gyro (this can also be achieved using one LPY and one LPR).
The schematics for the LPR5x0AL and LPY5x0AL gyroscope carriers are shown below. The devices can be powered directly through the Vdd/3.3V pin using a supply that is within the gyro chips' acceptable power supply range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Alternatively, the boards can be powered by higher voltages, up to 16 V, using the VIN pin, which connects to a low-dropout 3.3V regulator. In this configuration, the 3.3V pin can serve as an output to be used as a reference voltage or power source for other low-power devices (up to around 50 mA, depending on the input voltage). Please note that unlike some other gyros and accelerometers, the outputs are not ratiometric with the Vdd/3.3V power line (i.e. at zero rate of rotation, the output should equal Vref, not half of the Vdd/3.3V supply).
The power-down pin is not connected by default. It must be driven low for the gyro to operate. If a low-power state is not required for your application, use a small piece of wire or solder to make a short between the power-down pin and the ground (square) pin next to it. To use the power-down pin, your circuit must bring it up to Vdd (typically 3.3 V); in 5V applications, this can be done by adding a pull-up resistor to the 3.3V output.
The self-test input is pulled low by default. To activate the self-test feature, drive the line to Vdd (the same pull-up trick as above can be used for 5V applications).
For 5V microcontroller applications, the power down and self test lines should be driven high. Instead, the microcontroller I/O pin can emulate an open-drain or open-collector output by alternating between low output and high-impedance (input) states. Put another way, if you are using a 5 V microcontroller, you should make your power down and self test I/O lines inputs and use pull-up to 3.3 V if you want them to be high. It is always safe for you to drive these lines low.
The output is an RC-filtered analog voltage that ranges from 0 to Vdd; with no rotation, the output voltage is typically 1.23 V regardless of Vdd. For 5V applications, the 3.3V output can be used as a reference for analog-to-digital converters to gain full resolution samples. Otherwise, your conversions will be limited to 66% of the full range (e.g. an 8-bit ADC will yield numbers from 0 to 168).
The gyro boards ship with a 1×10 0.1" breakaway male header strip (as shown in the picture to the right) that can be used for connecting custom cables or premium jumper wires or for plugging into perfboards or breadboards.

I've been using a Mono-Jungo deck for awhile when participating in tournaments (partially because my second-best deck consists of Sentinels and I've had issues with trying to get fast KOs). However, I am surprised by how few there are players who use Mono-Jungo decks in tournaments, and I'm starting to wonder whether Jungo is a good clan to build a tournament deck on.
Mind you, I've only participated in three tournaments thus far, so I'm still a newbie (granted, I've been actively around for only a week now). Still, my finishes aren't so bad: my best would probably be 31st in about 4000+. I find the +2 Life Bonus for Jungo to be quite a cushion whenever I win rounds, and they have some good cards that can really widen the gap due to either their damage or their walls (Askai's probably the most common card I usually see on the players who do use a Jungo-concentrated deck in tournaments).
I'm not here to know which clans I should be using for tournaments, though. I want to know specifically if Jungo decks are any good in tournaments of either types. Let me know what you think.

The most important point is if you like to play Jungo in DT... so play it and have fun!
I guess that the Jungo clan is not played that much for DT because you have to play 3 or 4 rounds to win the battle. Some clans allow you to KO your opponent faster.
Any way, just find the strategies that fit you and play. As you said you're a young player in that game, you'll have to play many battles to improve your results.
Chunderbaw - Wednesday 08/09/2010, 21:16
Im new to Jungo aswell I used to use Fang Pi , so its a big change for me from having heavy dmg cards and usually being able to 2hko, and with jungo the average win usually requires a 3hko or 4hko to win, although I have noticed that using junog in dt gives you alot more battle points if you win because of the need to kill more cards and gain hp bonuses which if you have over 12 hp by the end of the match can leave you with upto 30 points with left over pills. My advice, get a deck with high power cards and use your highest bluffable cards like buba adler or ongh etc and play a bit of psychological warfare with the opponent to make them waste their pills.
I could see Jungo being a pretty strong DT clan if used correctly.
Something like Buba Askai boohma Jalil Dagooba Wendy Pegh and mindy
Which would fit nicely into the DT thought of quick 2hko's with Askai hitting a 2hko with All but the 2 stars and also Buba, Boohma, jalil, and Dagooba being able to 2hko with Fury with eachother.
The only set back would be the glaring set back for most clans. Their bonus isn't attack manipulation. And a slight weakness to SOA (buba, Jalil, boohma) but also Dagooba helps for that as well.
@kris: every clan that isn't manipulation (power or attack) have an inherit weakness against SoA (their bonus doesn't help offset the SOA clan's ability) and every clan that isn't All Stars and is manipulation has inherit weakness against SOB (usually the stats are lower/ability not very good compared to SOB cards)
Having a weak spot doesn't mean you always lose those game, but that's the metagame in a shell.
SOA>non-manips>SOB>manips>SOA, with manips>non-manips and SOA>SOB

|Winnebago County Sheriff's OfficeNews Media Release
|News Release Number 2013-024
|Information: Lifting of No Wake Restriction For Rock River In Winnebago County
|Date: 07/11/13
|Time: 1:00 PM
|Page 1 of 1
Narrative:A majority of the conditions which resulted in the implementation of the No Wake order on the Rock River in Winnebago County have subsided. Sheriff Richard A. Meyers is announcing that the previously issued No Wake Zone has been lifted, and the Rock River north of the State Street Bridge is now open to normal recreational use. The Rock River south of State Street to the Fordam Dam remains a restricted (closed) area due to the missing safety cable at the Fordam Dam which was damaged in the flooding. This action was taken by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources when the damage was discovered. Users of the river are reminded to be observant and exercise caution as a lot of debris had been deposited in the river during the flooding that occurred in the past several weeks. This debris may still be present and pose a hazard as it may be undetectable from the water surface. For current river conditions, and any further updates, contact the Sheriff's Office at (815) 319-6300, or the Rock River information telephone line at (815) 316-8888. You may also visit the Sheriff's Department's website at www.winnebagosheriff.com.

Where were you during the blackout of 2003?
About 50 million people lost power Aug. 14, 2003, when a tree branch in Ohio started an outage that cascaded across a broad swath from Michigan to New England and Canada. Commuters in New York City and elsewhere had to sleep on steps, hitchhike or walk home as trains were rendered powerless and gas pumps stopped working; food spoiled as refrigerators and freezers thawed; jugs of water sold out as supply plants lost their ability to supply consumers; minds were set to wandering about terrorism fears less than two years after 9/11. Ten years later, The Associated Press asked several people: Where were you during the blackout of 2003?
Cara O'Neill's water broke. Then the power went out.
She raced to her home in Norwalk, Conn., to meet her husband and go to the hospital. With traffic lights out, it was a harrowing drive through jammed streets.
"The doctor said, `You better come right away. We don't know how long it will take,'" she said. "It was just scary."
She felt relieved when she arrived at Greenwich Hospital, which was running on a generator.
"It was hotter than hell that day," she said. "The hospital at least had air."
Her son was born before dawn the next day.
O'Neill, 42, said she and her family recently took out newspaper articles to reminisce with her almost 10-year-old son, dubbed "the blackout baby" by local media.
"We talk about it all the time," she said.
Marlene Anielski had a front-row seat to the genesis of the blackout in Walton Hills, Ohio, where she was mayor in 2003.
"I was taking something out of my car, and I was bending in my car and heard a loud boom and then I heard a second loud boom," said Anielski, now a Republican state representative. "I actually called 911, my police department."
She thought a natural gas explosion might have destroyed a house in the hilly, tree-lined village southeast of Cleveland. Instead, it was simply the result of a branch scraping a high-voltage line.
"There was a young man, I think he was a teenager at the time, taking a shower, and I believe that some of his appliances were smoking. The dishwasher, the microwave, they were smoking inside the house."
The mayor went into action, offering residents without power for air conditioners on the hot day a chance to cool off in the village hall, which had a backup generator. She felt grateful no one in town was injured.
"We could have had people electrocuted," she said.
She prefers to think that Walton Hills didn't cause the blackout but was the unwitting middleman, "the straw that broke the camel's back that was already taking place on the grid."
Lysa Stanton is still known as the Blackout Bride around Cleveland.
Ten years ago, she was handling a last-minute errand with her future husband before their wedding the next day when the traffic signals and storefronts went dark. Office workers and shoppers began streaming into parking lots.
"It was eerie," she remembered. "All of sudden everyone came out. That's what scared me.'"
Instead of having dinner with the wedding party that evening, she was looking for flashlights, can openers and batteries. "To some people this was an inconvenience; to me, this was the night before my wedding," she said.
The hotel where Stanton planned to spend the night didn't have power, so she ended up at her fiance's house, eating melting Popsicles and ice cream and wondering, "What am I doing? Is this a sign?"
"I'd be lying if I say that didn't cross my mind 110 times," she said, recalling that she didn't sleep at all that night. "We laugh now; I don't think then I was doing any laughing."
She was interviewed by television news crews then, and people remember her story, including her florist. But it's mostly family and friends who still bring it up.
On Wednesday, Stanton and husband, Dave Pfister, will celebrate their 10th anniversary with friends and family. They plan on turning out the lights _ for just a moment.
After two hot, loud, windows-open nights without power in his apartment on Manhattan's Lower East Side, George Strayton had had enough.
His parents had electricity in their home in suburban Rockland County, and he learned via landline that buses were running to carry people out of town. So the screenwriter set out on foot for the Port Authority Bus Terminal, more than 3 miles away.
The city felt like an urban desert, with few people or cars on the streets and no stores open to offer a cool drink, he remembers. But when he finally got to the bus terminal, he was soon on a bus to a transfer point at what was then Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
As he stepped off the bus, a volunteer handed him a bottle of water and pointed out a table spread with sandwiches for the electricity exiles. Before long, Strayton was eating lunch on another bus to his destination.
"It was slightly surreal, which is why I'll never forget the whole thing," he recalled. "Especially that pesto chicken sandwich."
You know it's a regional blackout when ... you're sleeping on the hallway floor in your own apartment because it's packed with more than a dozen of your co-workers, roommates and friends.
Joan Vollero lived in Manhattan near the children's television company where she was working when the lights went out. So she extended an invitation to colleagues wrestling with how to get to homes farther away.
"I didn't realize how many people were going to take me up on that offer," Vollero recalled.
A band of co-workers _ some of whom she barely knew _ joined her at the small sixth-floor, three-bedroom walk-up she shared with two roommates. One colleague felt faint and needed a bed, so Vollero gave up hers.
"I remember it being a fun night _ not a crazy night," says Vollero, now a spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney. "It was co-workers coming together in difficult circumstances and making the best of the situation."
It's many New Yorkers' worst nightmare. The power goes out while you're in the subway, and you get stuck on a train in the dark with hundreds of strangers.
For Mike Markowitz, at the time a building doorman, that became reality as his train barreled under Manhattan on his way home to Queens.
Though the train got stuffy with no air conditioning, passengers stayed fairly calm as they were instructed to head to one end of the train, and then walked a short way through the tunnel before climbing up to the street, he said.
Ten years later, he doesn't recall whether they exited through a station or other stairwell, or how long it took. But he does remember walking home for the next four hours _ "the longest walk I ever took in my life," said Markowitz, who now works in a courthouse.
"It was scary," Markowitz recalled this week, but "I don't think it was as scary as 9/11."
But also he remembers a good side to the blackout: "It brought a lot of the people together in the city."
As unnerving as the blackout was for everyday people, imagine if you were in charge of a part of the electrical grid just next door.
On Aug. 14, 2003, that man was Mike Kormos, vice president of operations for PJM Interconnection, the group in southeastern Pennsylvania that oversees the electric grid for 13 states.
Kormos was at a meeting away from his office when a PJM administrator called and connected him to a shift supervisor, who told him there was a blackout to the north.
"I thought he was kidding," Kormos said. "I've been 25 years on this job and never got that call, and hope I never get that call again."
Philadelphia and its surrounding region was largely unaffected by the blackout because PJM was able to continue transmitting power while managing waves of power fluctuations. Had the blackout spread to the area, millions more people would have been affected.
"Because it was on the heels of 9/11, it was a little scary," Kormos said, "because we didn't know what had happened."
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Michael Melia in Hartford, Conn.; Jennifer Peltz in New York City, John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio; Thomas J. Sheeran in Cleveland; and Keith Collins in Philadelphia.

Kudos to Senthil.
But we need to create an awareness among the people first. Hope the Collector is already doing that. Involve the people in the activity.
Let us wait and see whether the proposal becomes just another petition or a tool for action.
Keep us updated on this.
Also people who have elected the new Minister to post pressurize him to pressurize the authorities. Tell him it will help him maintain his vote bank he will do the rest

One more thought Senthil why is that we wait for the government to act?
Why not we contribute??
I trust the Badaga Association can help us someway atleast forming a trust. Nothing can be achieved until unless we all join hands and work for the upliftment.

Hats of to YBA
Udhagamandalam: A two-day recruitment drive felicitated by the Young Badagas Association (YBA) and organised by the Chennai-based Sutherland Global Services, a global customer management company in Business Process Outsourcing began on an encouraging note here on Thursday.
Stating that it was for the first time in the history of the YBA that such an initiative had been taken, the president of the Association T. Rangaiah, told The Hindu that the educated youth should make the optimum use of such opportunities.
Adverting to the considerably changed economic scenario of the Nilgiris consequent to the prolonged crisis in the tea industry, he said that in recent years the youth from the Nilgiris in general and the Badaga youngsters in particular had done very well in the Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) not only within the country but also abroad.
He hoped that in course of time the Nilgiris would figure prominently on the Information Technology map of the country. He assured that the YBA would organise such programmes regularly.
The Senior Manager, Sutherland Global Services, G. Shivkumar, said that a recruitment programme on such a scale was being organised for the first time in the Nilgiris.
Earlier it had conducted campus interviews at the Emerald Heights College for Women here and the Providence College for Women in Coonoor.
Pointing out their apprehensions vis a vis safety were baseless, he said that in all the companies top priority was accorded to providing a safe and enjoyable work atmosphere.
While a basic degree was a must, a successful candidate could earn between Rs. 1.5 to Rs. 2 lakhs per annum as a fresher.
The Consultant, Franchise Development and Training, Sutherland Global Services, Halan Sivashankar, said that the company would help establish Language Laboratories in a few of the colleges here.
It was to create a resource pool of talent and manpower. While about 700 graduates and diploma holders were expected to attend the current programme, around 100 were likely to land jobs.

Dear Senthil
I appreciate your enthusiasm to serve our community.At the same time i wish to inform you that there is already a trust formed by a team from Kundacheppai hatti by name gava to serve our people.If you can interact with them you might get better informations regarding the same, as there are into service for couple of years.I came to know about them few months ago when their annual report pamplet landed in my hand.Hope you find this information useful.People who wish to donate or sponsor for better cause can get in touch with gava and can benefit from it.
warm regards

Hi Senthil,
Your decision to take an action is good but why not bring in the YBA into this. If there is any YBA or IBA member on the list. Might be they can help us facilitate this.
By the way some years ago there was a committee formed which claimed they were working for the welfare of the Badagas later heard that they swindled the money. So should be very careful my friend.
When people are willing to help then their hard earned money should not be misused.

Dear Nanjundan,
Thanks for your suggestions, I will meet the GAVA trust people and work with them. Will meet them and get to know them.
As far as Malakrishnanis suggestion of involving YBA, I am sorry to inform you about the sorrid state of affairs there. I am a member of YBA. The fact is that YBA has not done anything much for the welfare of the people. The initiatives which you and others in the forum here are doing, could have been done long back by them. The office bearers of YBA have always have had access to the decision makers ( GOVT and Collectors) but the results of what they have done can be seen. In fact elections have not been held for the post of office bearers for a long time now.
So instead of involving them right now on any issues, let us all join together and do good to the society and later on ensure that they too join us.
As regards the money issue, if we do work for the society, there are lot of funds which could be got from the Govt itself which could be used to serve our people. If all the information about the various schemes run by the Govt is made known to more people, that itself will ensure the welfare of our society.
Lets JOIN TOGETHER and ACT for the welfare of the Badaga Community before it is too late

Dear Senthil,
We were talking about getting in touch with GAVA and forming a trust. If it is fine with you can you please provide your contact number so, that people who are interested can call you and let you know how they can be of help. Especially those in Ooty can contact you easily.
I will also forward it to people who are interested. After a particular number of volunteers get together then we can have an all-hands meet to decide on the plan of action.

Dear Senthil,
I have circulated your mobile number with a few people whom I feel can help us in this project.
Let us hope for the best. You can even ask some of our hatti people regarding this. Please dont talk to them about the money as of now ask them only for their time. You know it better.

the success of a hospital in the nilgiris will largly depend on the services it will provide. it needs to be competitive to the hospitals in coimbatore.This would need a lot of capital. Several crores. next you need to be able to attract quality doctors.trying to do this by contributions from the community can only be a dream. my suggestion is to form a company that is for profit and money be collected and shares in the enterprise be issued. This will attract capital from other communities also in the Nilgiris. having established a for profit organization part of the work of this organization can support the healthcare needs of the economically needy at very nominal costs.

When Omar di Felice planned his little bike ride around Italy, he knew a lot of it would not be easy. After all, he planned to barely sleep while pedaling over 3,000km, leaving clockwise from Rome, and returned just over a week later. Of course, a trip like this takes meticulous planning – every road, every hill, every kilometer.
So that's why the surprise was a surprise: "The toughest part was the south of Italy. I didn't know the route very well, and I found tough, short climbs and hard asphalt! It was a real surprise considering the fact that the toughest part in my idea would be the Alps segment of my race."
After a rough start, Sicily and Sardinia were easy going – "Peaceful landscapes, hills, and perfect weather," says Omar. "Seeing the dawn from the top of Etna mountain was on of my favourite moments." In Genoa, he found a welcome surprise: crowds from his hometown out to greet him and show their support – including the mother of Marco Pantani, a legend of Italian cycling.
Over the eight days, di Felice used three different bikes – a Wilier 110 Air – an aero bike to push fast during the flat parts – a Wilier 110 NDR with disc brakes systems for comfortable riding, and a Wilier Zero.6 for minimal weight during the toughest climbs. The funniest bit? In 3380km, he didn't have a single flat.
Omar's sleep schedule was extremely sporadic – he'd grab about grab about an hour a and half of sleep every 15 hours, in addition to other short breaks, before a luxurious three-hour nap before his last push to the finish. But this unrelenting regime allowed him to complete the massive ride in just 8 days and 21 hours. Since the route was one of his own choosing, it's unquestionably a world record for that particular route, but hard to place in the canon world cycling records, where others have gone further in less time – albeit with significantly less climbing than di Felice.
The end was the most glorious: "The last two days were the best part of my ride," says Omar. "I felt great, and really happy that everything had gone well until that moment, and I really enjoyed the route back to the finish line." He enjoyed it so much he's already planning the next one. "Of course it was really tough and now I need a long rest period but I'm sure I will do something similar in the future. Why not!"

Moving Day Odds and Ends
Some items from the Mattick today:
–Vernon Wells spoke with us scribes and said he's hoping to be back in a couple weeks. He doesn't feel the injury is as bad as last year and feels that his experience a year ago can help him rebound quicker. He and Gaston make it sound like this hammy is always going to be a risk from now on.
–Mike Maroth threw off the mound in a bullpen session and felt good before and after. So that surgery he needs? A no go for now.
–Ryan talked with me today some about last season and how great it's been to not have to worry about getting healthy right now. He called his performance at times last year "ugly" and said he was pretty much pitching without a slider all season long. Early reports from pitching coach Brad Arnsberg are that Bo's slider is "tight", his command is good and he's stronger than he was last year. Great news for Toronto.
–Cito's tentative lineup for Wednesday's opener: Joe Inglett, 3B, Aaron Hill, 2B, Alex Rios, RF, Kevin Millar, 1B, Adam Lind, DH, Rod Barajas, C, Travis Snider, LF, Buck Coats, CF, John McDonald, SS. Pitching: Brett Cecil, Ricky Romero, B.J. Ryan, Brian Burres, Rick Bauer. … Coming for the Yankees: Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and [drumroll] Alex Rodriguez. On the mound for the Bombers: Brett Tomko, Kei Igawa and some other dudes.
–Cito said today that he plans on getting Adam Loewen plenty of playing time this spring: "I want him to play quite a bit. He's a kid that looks good swinging. I spoke to him this year and told him that I was going to try to play him as much as i can. I've got him down mostly outfield. He needs some at-bats to get back to seeing the ball and swinging the bat."
–Gaston doesn't have a specific number of ABs in mind, but said Jose Bautista is very much in the plans this season. Said he wants to get him action in the outfield, at third and first base, as the DH and even at short. Gaston also doesn't mind that Bautista is playing in the WBC with the D.R., even though he figured to get more ABs and innings with Wells out.
–Scott Richmond is skedded to start Thursday and Matt Clement on Friday. Brad Mills is slated to follow Clement, while Ken Takahashi is down to follow Richmond.
OPINION TIME: With the recent news about Wells, and after watching Rios man center field for two prolonged stretches last season, I'm thinking a change in the outfield alignment might be in order soon. If Wells' injury is indeed going to be a constant risk, he might benefit from moving to left, or at least seeing more time as the DH. I absolutely loved Rios in center and Snider has been billed more as a right fielder than a left fielder. So, for the long run, would it not make sense to put Wells in left, Rios in center and Snider in right? The Jays have invested a lot of money in Wells and Rios and, along with Snider, these three outfielders are a major part of the organizations future. Just saying

I like your idea of moving Rios to centre and putting Wells in left , he can share time with Lind . I wonder if the turf at Roger's centre will aggravate Wells' condition . I was actually hoping Wells played in the WBC , last time he did he had a great season for the Jays , missing his usual slow start .
I hope they get all their injuries over with in spring training . I know injuries are part of the game but the last few years the Jays have had more than their fair share .
If you move wells out of CF i think RF is the first corner position you put him at. His defence will still be good enough for that position, more range and probably better arm than Snider. But if his injuries are the reason he cant play, then DH is where he is going to have to hit. His contract is too big for him to be sitting injured. At least have his bat in the lineup if your paying that much for him.
It's a shame that Wells can't seem to stay healthy anymore. Since it appears that it'll only take him 2 weeks to recover I say give him an extra one just to make sure. I think left or right field would be what's best for Wells, as has already been mentioned. Rios has obviously shown that he can play centre so the loss (if any) in defensive ability likely will not even be noticed. I don't know Snider well enough yet to be able to tell if he can handle right field as well as left.
That two weeks from Wells reminds me of another time he rushed back only to have a more serious injury as a result. I hope they give him the extra week or two.
I like the idea of Wells in LF as well, RH is Sniders normal position, so it makes sense to put Wells in left.
This is exactly why I didn't want a dedicated DH and I took a lot of heat here for stating that. All 4 of these guys can be rotated through the DH spot, with Wells getting more than his share at that spot. If we had signed some old guy for DH then 1 of the 4 of these potent bats would be out of the lineup everytime the DH played.
So if the rating is measured by page views, I guess that means we just have to hit the site and blog without signing in-is that the case or do we need to sign in. Let us know, were all motivated to get you to number uno.
JB, you are spot on with the idea of moving Wells. Since the first time I saw Rios in the minor leagues, I've thought he looked "center field" even with his stellar performance in right. The injuries in Wells' history make it hard to get too excited about a full season of production and he is critical to our success this year, so protect him a little. The idea of rotating four outfielders through the DH spot also has merit. It seems too early to relegate Lind to the DH spot and if somebody does go down, Millar seems a great addition. Man, I'm ready to get started!!!
It would be great to be there and watch Cecil take on the Yanks.
Good luck laddy.

Stevens Research Honored in Highlights 2012 Issue of Nanotechnology Journal
Innovation in battery technology could drastically cut charge-time for mobile devices
Hoboken, NJ, August 21, 2013 --(
)-- An article by Professor Eui-Hyeok Yang of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, "Out-of-plane growth of CNTs on graphene for supercapacitor applications," has been selected by the editors of Nanotechnology for inclusion in the "Highlights 2012" collection. The article was nominated on the basis of a range of criteria including referee endorsement, novelty, scientific impact and broad appeal. Less than 5% of articles from 2012 received this recognition.
Dr. Yang's article describes a research innovation which may help to realize the potential of graphene—a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern—as a supercapacitor. Supercapacitors are electrical components that store energy in a similar way to batteries. They are appealing because they offer drastically faster charge and discharge times. However, they generally have much lower energy-density (i.e., they hold a smaller amount of energy than a similarly massed battery). They are currently used in applications where a large amount of power is needed for a relatively short amount of time. If energy-density limitations can be overcome, supercapacitors could be used to supplement or replace batteries in order to create mobile phones or laptops that charge in seconds.
"This honor demonstrates the enormous potential of Dr. Yang's research in the vibrant research field of next-generation batteries and superconductors," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "This disruptive nanotechnology could have a positive impact on a large proportion of the population as over 90% of American adults have a mobile phone that they charge regularly."
High surface area and low intrinsic resistance are vital for high-performance superconductors. Morphology-modified carbon nanostructures such as activated carbon (AC), mesoporous carbon (MC) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have large surface areas, but suffer from limited performance due to micropores and internal resistance, and therefore exhibit lower capacitance than theoretically predicted. Graphene has recently been identified as a promising material for supercapacitor applications, due to its outstanding theoretical specific surface area (SSA), extraordinary electrical properties in the planar direction (sheet resistance = ∼280 cm−2), high mechanical strength and chemical stability. In addition, graphene exhibits an intrinsic capacitance of up to 21 μF cm−2, which is the theoretical limit of carbon materials. Furthermore, recent successful development of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based graphene synthesis techniques facilitates the application of graphene as electrodes in lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors as well as on metal substrates in electronics. However, existing techniques for its fabrication often result in folding and overlapping of sheets, reducing the surface area which is crucial to capacitance capabilities.
In order to overcome the problem of graphene aggregation, Dr. Yang has formulated a new method for fabricating a hybrid nanostructure comprised of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on graphene layers. This method minimizes self-aggregation of graphene sheets while preserving valuable conductive properties. The carbon nanotubes are grown out of the graphene sheets to prevent agglomeration while concurrently acting as current pathways which, given the high conductivity of both CNTs and graphene, is anticipated to facilitate electron transport throughout the structure during the charge–discharge process.
Future work includes a detailed investigation of electrochemical performance of the hybrid nanostructure as a function of available surface area, lifecycle performance and the development of graphene–CNT–graphene 3D multistack as a stepping stone in creating high-performance supercapacitors.
Dr. Yang is currently PI on a number of active grants in the areas of research, education and equipment, from AFOSR and NSF. He directs the Micro Device Laboratory (MDL), a Stevens's multi-user facility. He is also an Associate Editor of several journals including IEEE Sensors.

The Cloudflare Peering Portal is the easiest way of getting started and managing your peering configuration with Cloudflare.
Cloudflare accelerates and secures Internet applications with an expansive network of data centers in 200 cities across 100 countries. Over 25 million Internet Properties use Cloudflare and Internet requests for ~16% of the Fortune 1,000 flow through our network, so it's likely your customers are already using the service.
When an ISP or hosting provider peers with Cloudflare, they send traffic directly to Cloudflare's network rather than sending it to a third party. This skips congested paths between transit providers, and avoids paying to ship traffic.
Cloudflare maintains an open peering policy. Our peering details can be found here.
Deliver websites faster
Deliver web content faster to network subscribers when connecting to Cloudflare supported website domains.
Reduce data transit costs
Eliminate the need to send data across your transit provider's network when users visit a website domain that is proxied by Cloudflare.
Better Control
Make better infrastructure decisions by allocating bandwidth capacity to sites that are not served by Cloudflare.
The Peering Portal shows the volume of data between your network and Cloudflare's, as well as where your data goes. If you want to manage your traffic more proactively, you can dedicate the Cloudflare traffic to that peering link and better plan for the rest.
Any network can view the potential savings of peering with Cloudflare, just request access to the portal.
This is designed for use at a private network interconnect location where both Cloudflare and a partner's network are present.
Peering in this scenario requires that the hardware for the ISP and Cloudflare be connected using a dedicated link.
If you're collocated at one of the peering exchange points where Cloudflare is present, you can peer through the exchange switching fabric (no need to plug in any cables).
If you're located at a distance from an Internet exchange or Cloudflare Data Center or you manage your own data center, you may want to consider hosting a Cloudflare Cache node. If you're familiar with the Google Global Cache appliance, we'll ship you the equivalent Cloudflare hardware.
With over 25 million Internet Properties using Cloudflare, a cache node reduces your transit costs and improves your customers' speed of access to one of the internet's most ubiquitous networks.
Thanks to Cloudflare operating the E and F Root servers, you will have the benefit of reducing latency for all your customers' traffic by minimizing DNS root requests, regardless of whether they are using Cloudflare.
And Cloudflare's 220.127.116.11 DNS resolver gives you an alternative instead of managing your own DNS resolver.
Create an account to access the portal, and see how much you could be saving by joining as a Cloudflare peering partner.
You can review our peering policy here. You can also find us in Peering DB under ASN 13335.
Improve customers' site performance
Reduce data transit costs
Optimize traffic using peering portal
Multiple peering options including appliance
Opportunity to improve all customers' performance via DNS root servers

Doling out laughs on queue
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Adelaide comic Rohan Harry is explaining the origins of Centrelink the Musical, a show enjoying its third festival season, this time at Melbourne Fringe. It's sold out its first two seasons – both in Adelaide – and from the descriptions, it sounds foolish and clever and, most of all, funny.
If I'm to be honest, that's also my impression of Rohan, who I've been aware of for a few years now, having first encountered him as part of that big comedian migration to MySpace in 2006. Perhaps I did meet him in real life first, around the streets of Adelaide during Fringe Festival, or hanging out at that 'bench of shame' in front of Melbourne's Town Hall during the International Comedy Festival. But he was most unavoidable online, popping up in comment threads of mutual friends' MySpace blogs.
You'd have just made an insightful killer comment on the blog post of some glamour you'd never even met in real life, hoping to create some kind of impression, refreshing your screen at regular intervals in anticipation of the LOL or ROFL surely to follow, only to discover that someone else's witty rejoinder had blown you out of the water. More often than not, it was Rohan's. And there'd be a photo – an image of a swarthy lad with a touch of 'Terry Gilliam animation' around the eyes, or a somewhat disturbing image of him camping it up as a boy scout. Invention, character, and a visual aspect, were all clearly evident in the man's comedy, even at this superficial level.
"I was studying industrial design at art school for about five or six years," Rohan explains. "My high school guidance counsellor suggested from the subjects that I studied that that would be the way forward for me." Although he knew himself to be creative and talented, high academic achievement meant that tertiary education was the go. But thankfully, he realised he "didn't want to design kettles" for a living, and so had started writing scripts and making short films on the side. "I also did some acting courses – got into that caper for a while. Did an opening for a student film and I sat down and thought, 'That was a bit of fun!'"
An advertisement for a comedy course caught his eye. Opinions vary about the usefulness of comedy courses. Can you teach someone to be funny? Well you can teach someone to act, you can teach them to play an instrument. You can only assume that they have to have the spark in order for it to work, and then there has to be inherent talent in order for it to become a viable way of life. For many a funny person who has yet to take the stage, a comedy course provides the initial step. "It gave me confidence, it gave me courage. And it gave me stage time," Rohan confirms. "It was a vehicle for me and it got the ball rolling. People have mixed opinions about that sort of thing, but at the end of the day, you go through the door that opens."
Cutting his chops on Adelaide's local circuit, Rohan entered Raw Comedy and made it to the South Australian State Final. "The positive thing about comedy competitions for people starting out is that anyone can do them, so you're automatically guaranteed a sell-out night, and you've got that stage time," he points out. By that stage, Rohan had developed a passion and just kept writing.
However, the life of a fledgling comic can be tough – finding paid work is harder than finding punchlines that work. There was a point where Rohan found himself "in a really unhappy place with Adelaide" and so had fled to Sydney where he "spent a couple of nights unaccommodated, wandering the streets with my pack," trying to land gigs. And that's pretty much when the idea for Centrelink the Musical struck. "I'd been long-term unemployed for six or seven years and just based it on that one image in the movie The Full Monty – where the guys are having a bit of a jig in the dole queue. I thought, 'let's embrace that concept and go further'. At the time it was trendy to do musicals – there was High School Musical and Hairspray the Musical."
According to Rohan, the title 'Centrelink The Musical' "totally struck a chord" with the people of Adelaide: tickets for that first season sold out before the show had been fully written. "A lot of the ticket sales went to Centrelink Offices and Job Network Providers," he explains.
The beauty of Centrelink the Musical is its "raw simplicity", which keeps it true-to-life: "I'm just playing myself," Rohan insists. "There's no acting involved whatsoever." That's not true of the rest of the cast, though – they all studied performing arts. "I got my friend Adam Willson to write the show around them," Rohan says. While Rohan 'created' the show and appears in it as "Tim" (who has been unemployed for "only 23 months"), writer Adam plays the character Gary who has been unemployed for nearly two decades."There's another comic in there," Rohan reports. Dale Elliott – a Raw Comedy contestant who made the National Final a few years ago, plays the 'Centrelink Virgin', Ed. In real life, Deal is a paraplegic who "does a lot of motivational speaking and stuff", and, like Rohan, his character in this production is very close to his own. "He's a guy who can't actually walk and has to justify that he's a paraplegic to the system, having to look for work because they're claiming he's not eligible for compensation…"
Kate Jarvis, who "comes from a music background" and "has done a lot of school theatre" plays the single mum with a daughter and a bun in the oven.
Janine, the Centrelink Officer, is played by Anna Cheney Holmes, who also has a history of school theatre. And, says Rohan, "she's done some film and TV stuff": since the first season of Centrelink the Musical she appeared in episodes of McCloud's Daughters (credited as 'Anna Cheney').
The music was written by singer-songwriter Nathan Leigh Jones (or "NLJ", as he's also known). When Rohan Harry was wandering the streets of Sydney, having decided to flee Adelaide for the Harbour City's stand-up scene, it was fellow Adelaide emigre Jones's floor upon which he ultimately sought to crash. "I proposed the idea of Centrelink the Musical to him," Rohan recalls, "and he just died laughing. He said, 'I want to do the music for this'."
NLJ has solid 'Youth Alive' Christian music behind him and had just returned from New York where he'd been hustling (so to speak!) for his record label, so was keen to just work on something fun. "He wrote the music and I pretty much got a team of guys together who were willing to do a Fringe show. We pretty much pulled it out of our arse in the 'last few minutes'…" Apparently there was no "wanky audition process", merely the question "Do you want to be involved?" If you answered 'yes', you were in.Centrelink the Musical was choreographed by Julian Jaensch, another mate. Currently the artistic director of Triple A Theatre Company for Autism SA, he kept the dance moves simple enough for someone like Rohan, who hadn't danced since he wa s a kid. "It's done in a way that's not taking away the humour, but it's still got that element where we're taking the piss," he explains. "Same with our voices: we're not all professional singers, but at the same time we bellow the tunes out for as long as it's getting laughs. We stay in character. That's why it works."
The team is directed by Ross Vosvotekas, AKA Ross Voss, a veteran of Adelaide Fringe comedy shows and a recipiant of award nominations for them. The show opens in the dole queue with an up-beat opening number "to bring you in the mood with a lot of dancing" before revealing the reality of the situation: the five characters – the four unemployed and the public servant – are dissatisfied with where they are in their lives. As they interact, each one in turn gets to deliver a power ballad telling their side of the story. "They break into dream-like sequences that constantly move into song-and-dance and then cut back to reality," says Rohan. "That's where the main humour from the show comes from."
Perhaps, if you were cynical, your first response to the concept of Centrelink the Musical would be to write it off – it is about the experience of trying to subsist on the government's dole payment, after all. So, you might assume, you'd have to queue for four hours just to see it, and once in the theatre, you'd be surrounded by bogans in ugg boots and on crystal meth. And of course, the show would only be about half as long as you initially assumed it would be…
"We just went with the flow," Rohan insists. "Instead of it being an attack on the system, we made it more 'okay, let's have a bit of a laugh about the crazy people that come in, let's see it from their point of view as well, and let's entertain these people that represent Centrelink itself'."
Truth is, in addition to selling out its first two seasons, Centrelink the Musical turned a healthy profit. Or would have, had the proceeds not been divided equally between all the participants. As it was, Rohan earned just enough… to no longer qualify for the dole. "I wasn't rich out of it," he insists.
Which is kind of unfair. If everyone on the dole had to produce a creative endeavour that turned a profit, the country as a whole would be doing so much better culturally and financially. They should have been rewarded with more money – in order to take their ideas further, and to come up with new ones. I almost think that should be the message of the show. But Rohan insists there is no message in Centrelink the Musical. "There is no real message in it whatsoever," he says. "There's stuff you can take from it, but in the end, it's just a bit of fun."Nice.

Newington gun store institutes new policy on assault-type rifles in wake of Sandy Hook tragedy
Hoffman's Gun Center and Indoor Shooting Range has a new policy on assault-type rifles in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, a change that has ignited a storm on Facebook.
The Newington store, whose motto is "Guns for the Good Guys," announced late last week on Facebook that "Hoffman's Gun Center will require a Connecticut state pistol permit to purchase 'assault style' center fire rifles."
That's instead of the previous policy of selling a weapon like an AR-15 or Bushmaster .223 (used in the Newtown slayings) pending a two-week background check.
The move set off a torrent of reaction on Facebook, ranging from some support of the change to charges of capitulation to "gun grabbers," scorn about whether it will have any effect and charges it was being done for business reasons -- so that such weapons won't have to sit for two weeks pending background checks that may not pan out.
Later Friday, the high-volume store's Facebook site posted a further clarification saying, "Active Military, Ct Hunting License & law Enforcement will also be accepted."
Owner Scott Hoffman was out of town and unavailable for comment, but General Manager Dave Cavedon said, "What we're doing is, we're just kind of upping the standard (so) that there's a double-check system out there. Because if you have a hunting license or a pistol permit to make that purchase, those both can be immediately revoked if you've made some unhealthy choices, so to (speak)."
A person who has a pistol permit "shows that they're going through an approval process, and that there's an ultimate authority, the state, not us, making that decision of whether this person is worthy -- not by just the background check," Cavedon said. "They also have to have the pistol permit, which holds them to a higher standard."
Customers have been passionate about the move, on both sides.
"As you can see from the Facebook page, we've received mixed feedback from them, some positives and some negatives," Cavedon said. "And we understand both and we're not trying to set any type of legislation to this. We're just trying to take a chance to double check what's going out the door."
State Sen. Martin Looney of New Haven said he hadn't heard of the Hoffman's change, but said the legislature would be dealing with a "whole range of gun-related legislation" in the upcoming session.
"Some of it will have to do with perhaps expanding the requirement for permits in certain areas, putting additional weapons on the banned list for assault weapons (and) dealing with the issue of high-capacity magazines," Looney said.
Gun sellers are seeing a rush of business lately because of the gathering clouds of legislation.
U.S. Sen Richard Blumenthal said he supports legislation to make sure guns don't get into the wrong hands.
"I've supported measures to close the (gun-show) loophole and extend background checks to all gun sales," he said Monday.
Amid the heated exchanges on Facebook, Hoffman's on Saturday posted "It's a reasonable act in an unreasonable time. ... At the very least, people we sell this type of firearm to have had some basic training. It's all about safety."
Hoffman's, which is closed for inventory today and Wednesday after doing brisk business amid the re-election of President Barack Obama and the Newtown tragedy (including a sale on AR-15s at Christmastime, according to posts), will reopen Thursday.
Many online posters called the change "reasonable," but others, such as R. Pitchard, said, "Where do you honestly feel that passing a basic pistol course has (any) relevance on the purchase of a rifle?"
Still others used more inflammatory language involving "liberals," "commies," and a boycott of Hoffman's.
Correction: A previous headline incorrectly cited "assault" weapons instead of "assualt-type" weapons.

CPJ calls for probe into French journalist's death in CAR
NEW YORK, May 14, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for an immediate investigation into the death of French freelance photojournalist Camille Lepage, 26, in the Central African Republic. In a statement issued today, the French government said that French troops had discovered Lepage's body in a vehicle driven by fighters of the anti-Balaka Christian militia, according to news reports.
"We call on the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic as well as French authorities to ensure a thorough investigation into Camille Lepage's death," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita.
Lepage's work has been featured by the Guardian, Le Monde, the Sunday Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the BBC. In her last tweet on May 6, Lepage said she was traveling with and reporting on the anti-Balaka fighters. Clashes between various rebel groups and government forces have led to increased violence in recent months, according to news reports.
