Abuja, Sep 6 (IANS) Nigeria's U-19 team coach Seyi Sonde has called for more investments in the game to produce quality cricketers in the West African country.
Sonde, in a chat with reporters Thursday, said the country needed investments to produce cricketers that would compete in international tournaments, reports Xinhua.
"Cricket in Nigeria has developed as best as it can and, so far, we have the numbers but we lack the quality of cricketers seen in other countries. I am not saying that there are no quality cricketers in the country, but it is obvious that they have not reached the level where they become household names in the game like others," he noted.
The coach called on Nigeria's National Sports Commission (NSC) to assist in the development of the sport by providing a turf wicket across the country.
He added the game needed improvement in facilities, especially having international quailty pitches, unlike the synthetic ones in Nigeria.
"And I know that it will go a long way in improving the quality of cricketers the country will be producing," Sonde added.

March 25, 2014, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement praising Senate Republicans for stripping an additional $63 billion in new quota money for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from a bill to offer a $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine:
"There never was a good reason to hold up the Ukraine aid legislation in order to give another $63 billion to the IMF to bail out banks that foolishly lent money to bankrupt European governments. Senate Republicans are to be praised for insisting to Harry Reid that it be removed. It should have never been included in the first place.
"In the face of Russia's threats against Ukraine, it always was irresponsible to hold these loans hostage in order to achieve unrelated funding for the IMF, as if U.S. credibility abroad was something to be bargained with."

Politics of Tuesday, 18 September 2012
Source: Todaygh.com
The Progressive People's Party (PPP) have cited the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP,) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the NPP as a whole for 'stealing' from the PPP's Free Compulsory & Continuous education policy.
In a strongly worded statement signed by the PPP's Director of Communications, the party relayed that it was at its wits end when it heard Nana Addo on an Accra based station, JOY FM, stating categorically that an NPP administration would provide Free, Continuous and Compulsory Education from the basic level to Senior High School, and wondered "what happened to what has now become the education mantra of the NPP flag bearer- Free Education at the Senior High School level."
Against this backdrop, the statement issued by Richmond Keelson, wondered whether the shift in position on the issue is not a demonstration of the wavering stance of the NPP and Akufo-Addo, and the fact that the NPP slogan of Free Education at the SHS level is not already back-firing.
According to the PPP, the latest position of Akufo-Addo on educations gives him up as an inconsistent leader with no originality of ideas..."He will therefore plagiarise the works and ideas of others in the hope that by their so-called sheer size in numbers, they can outmuscle the PPP- the originator of the concept of Free Compulsory Universal & Continuous education from Kindergarten to Senior High School with their usual loud verbal bouts." The statement firmly accused Nana Akufo-Addo of abandoning his original mantra "and is now trying to illegitimately claim legitimacy over the PPP's concept."
It continued that unlike Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP, the standard bearer of the Progressive People's Party (PPP,) Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, and the party he leads position has always stood that there should be Free Compulsory Universal & Continuous education in the country.
"In that light, the NPP's concept of Free Education at the SHS has become a slap in the face of the majority of Ghanaian teenagers who cannot access Senior High School education, because of the obvious rot in the country's basic education. We suspect the NPP has observed the effect of their mantra, hence the shift to the latest stance of Akufo-Addo on the subject." For the PPP, the obvious plagiarism of its ideas is a silence admission of the greatness of the party and its flag bearer.
The party opined that truth will always triumph over fake and cosmetics, and further pointed out that history will surely vindicate Papa Kwesi Nduom as the originator of many innovations in Ghana's state policy, one of which is the policy of Free Compulsory Universal & Continuous education from Kindergarten to Senior High School.
"Papa Kwesi Nduom has been very consistent with his ideas on education which he stated even before the 2008 elections. The same cannot be said of Nana Akufo-Addo," the statement said stressing that prior to the 2008 elections and, indeed, at the IEA presidential debate held that same year, Nana Akufo-Addo made it clear that his priority for free education would be at the tertiary level.
The PPP painted a gloomy picture of the attributes of the NPP flag bearer wondering what he had to offer after stating a different position from his party's much hyped transformational manifesto.
The statement further questioned the moral authority the NPP had to question and accuse the NDC of stealing their "You Matter, People Matter" manifesto them, as well replacing their Northern Development Authority (NDA) with the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) when they themselves are fresh culprits in plagiarism.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
The Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) framework emerged as a means of studying how people actually make decisions and perform cognitively complex functions in demanding situations. These include situations marked by time pressure, uncertainty, vague goals, high stakes, team and organizational constraints, changing conditions, and varying amounts of experience.
Origins of the Movement Edit
The NDM movement originated at a conference in Dayton, Ohio in 1989, which resulted in a book by Gary Klein, Judith Orasanu, Roberta Calderwood, and Caroline Zsambok. Since then, NDM conferences have been held every 2-3 years, alternating between U.S. and European venues. A series of NDM books have been published, and in 1995 the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society established a new technical group, Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making, that has built on the NDM tradition.
The FrameworkEdit
The NDM framework focuses on cognitive functions such as decision making, sensemaking, situation awareness, planning – which emerge in natural settings and take forms that are not easily replicated in the laboratory. For example, it is difficult to replicate high stakes, or provide for problem detection, or to achieve extremely high levels of expertise, or to realistically incorporate team and organizational constraints. Therefore, NDM researchers rely on cognitive field research methods such as cognitive task analysis to observe and study skilled performers. From the perspective of scientific methodology, NDM studies usually address the initial stages of observing phenomena and developing descriptive accounts. In contrast, controlled laboratory studies emphasize the testing of hypotheses. NDM and controlled experimentation are thus complementary approaches. NDM provides the observations and models, and controlled experimentation provides the testing and formalization.

American servicemen and -women are currently stationed in more than 140 countries from Central America to Western Europe to the Middle East, often living and working on military bases that not only dominate foreign territories but also re-create familiar space that "feels like home"--gated communities filled with rambling subdivisions, franchised restaurants, and lush golf courses.
In "America Town, " Mark Gillem reveals modern military outposts as key symbols of not just American power but also consumer consumption. Through case studies of several U.S. military facilities--including Aviano Air Base in Italy, Osan and Kunsan Air Bases in South Korea, and Kadena Air Base in Japan--Gillem exposes these military installations as exports of the American Dream, as suburban culture replicated in the form of vast green lawns, three-car garages, and big-box stores. With passion and eloquence he questions the impact of this practice on the rest of the world, exposing the arrogance of U.S. consumption of foreign land.
Gillem contends that current U.S. military policy for its overseas troops practices avoidance--relocating military bases to isolated but well-appointed compounds designed to prevent contact with the residents. He probes the policy directives behind base building that reproduce widely spaced, abundantly paved, and extensively manicured American suburbs, regardless of the host nation's terrain and culture or the impact on local communities living under empire's wings.
Throughout "America Town, " Gillem demonstrates how the excesses of American culture are strikingly evident in the way that the U.S. military builds its outposts. The defense of the United States, he concludes, has led to the massive imposition of tract homes and strip malls on the world--creating mini-Americas that inhibit cultural understanding between U.S. troops and our allies abroad.
Mark L. Gillem is assistant professor of architecture and landscape architecture at the University of Oregon. He is also a licensed architect, a certified planner, and a former active-duty U.S. Air Force officer.

Donald Kilpatrick III Exhibit Opens in New York
Sing Down the Moon explores Kilpatrick's use of allegory in pursuit of engaging narratives that transport the viewer to imaginary epochs. Books and birds, a needle and thread, axes and snakes are some of the many symbols used to represent humanity's innate desire to cultivate, serve, and command nature.
These visual poems draw from the artist's personal archive, which include, printed matter, title pages from books and sketchbooks.
Kilpatrick earned has an M.A. from Syracuse University in 2006. He moved to Detroit in 2007 to begin his career at the College for Creative Studies where is a professor of traditional and digital illustration of which he has been the department chair since 2010.
His work has been featured in publications such as Fortune, the L.A. Times, and the Wall Street Journal. His paintings have been exhibited in Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Miami.

Perhaps it was best that German exchange student Roman Ranke isn't too familiar with the local tennis scene.
It certainly worked out for the best for Lodi High's boys tennis team on Thursday afternoon at Twin Arbors Athletic Club.
With Lodi and Lincoln - the team that has tormented the Flames and the rest of the San Joaquin Athletic Association while winning the last three league titles - knotted at two apiece, Ranke and the Trojans' Danny Nahl, playing in the No. 2 singles slot, were the only players left on the court.
As if the pressure wasn't enough already, the two were tied at 4-all in the third and final set.
Ranke, though admittedly nervous, couldn't have looked more calm and composed as he won out the final two games to take a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win that propelled the Flames (5-0 SJAA) to a 3-2 victory and atop the league standings. "When my second set was over I heard that we were tied 2-2," Ranke said. "There was some pressure. I've heard how dominant Lincoln is. I just kept playing and tried to keep long rallies going and let him (Nahl) make the mistakes."
It was the first loss of the season for Lincoln (5-1 SJAA).
"This was a huge upset," Lodi coach John Stroh said. "We haven't competed with Lincoln the last three years. I think they might have been overconfident."
Stroh said he was a little worried when the match came down to Ranke and Nahl, explaining that Ranke, a junior in his first year at Lodi, isn't used to the rivalry.
"I have to give him credit," Stroh said. "He's a very smart player."
While Ranke's victory was clearly the difference in the match, Stroh said the play of his No. 2 doubles team was a huge factor.
Matt Rosenberg and Chad Marchand, playing against a much more experienced tandem in Lincoln's Albert Wu and Mark Crockett, took the first set before losing a tough second set (5-7) that could have put the match away. But the Lodi duo improved their play at the net and came away with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 triumph.
"It was a very tough match," Marchand said. "It was the biggest match I've played in."
Rosenberg and Marchand "played with a lot of heart," Stroh said.
Picking up Lodi's other win was Danny Miladinovich, who handled Lincoln's Peter Cassette 6-4, 6-3.
Steven Oechel came away with Lincoln's only win in singles play, knocking off the Flames' Mitch Hanner 6-3, 6-1.
In the other doubles match, the Trojan tandem of Anthony Corradi and Mark Admundsun defeated Julian Castillo and Jack Zeck 6-0, 1-6, 6-1.
"What a special treat," Stroh said. "This could determine the league championship."
The Flames still have to play at Lincoln later this season.

While Downloader Lite will accomplish this task for me it won't do it in the background and it won't continue when the screen is locked. Does anybody know of a similar app that is iOS 4 ready? (ie - will continue working in the background, even with a locked screen) If anyone cares that 1.5G is a Backtrack 4 LiveCD so I can crack WEP in my building until comcast replaces my modem or someone releases a JB and MyWi for the i4....

Each year, thousands of Arizona residents email or call Rosie Romero's radio show with questions about everything from preventing fires in their chimneys to getting rid of tree roots invading their sewer system. His goal is to provide answers that suit the specific lifestyle wherever someone lives in Arizona. Here are questions about home maintenance and improvement from the Southern Arizona area.
My dishwasher leaks on a random basis every once in a while. When it does, I usually find a cup or two of water on the floor in front of the dishwasher. What can I do about this problem and who do I call?
A: This is probably a problem with the dishwasher. You may be able to fix some possible problems yourself, but in the end you might have to call an appliance repair service. Among the possible issues: Your door latch may be bent or loose or not closing properly. Or you might need to replace the gasket on the door; the gasket is the rubber sealing that prevents water from flowing out of the dishwasher. You may have a loose supply line that is connected to the dishwasher behind the access panel.
Every time I take a shower, there seems to be a bad odor coming up from the drain. I live in a home built in the 1960s that has copper piping. What is causing this and is there something I can use on the drain to get rid of the smell?
A: Because of the age of your home, it's possible that the connection between the shower pan and the drain line is loose, and water may be draining into the slab. That constant moisture can become a source for foul odors. But before you have a plumber rip out the shower floor to replace the pan, you need to make sure that you don't have a smell coming out of the other sinks and drains throughout the house, particularly when you run the hot water. In that case, your problem could be a corroded anode rod in your water heater that needs to be replaced.
I live in a 10-year-old home that has some walls with sweeping curves. On one of these walls, the pieces of Sheetrock started to come apart at a seam. So I had a drywall repair company come in to repair it. That seems to have worked out well. But now the same thing is happening on a different wall. Does this new problem mean my walls are cracking because of a foundation issue?
A: If the repair on the original crack is not separating again, it's unlikely you have a major settling problem. These seams are probably separating because your house is getting a little bit older. As long as the repairs work, everything will probably be fine. Just remember that there are built-in stresses in the drywall as it is bent around those curves. Sometimes those stress levels overcome the holding strength of the screws used to hold the drywall in place and that will create the cracks that you see.
I have a home that has a 19-year-old furnace made by one manufacturer and a 10-year-old air conditioning compressor outside that was made by another manufacturer. This happened because of a repair made a number of years ago as part of a home warranty. Now the whole system has shut down again. Should I go back to the home warranty company or should I just replace the whole system myself?
A: There is really no question about it: You need to replace the entire system. The main reason why is that the newest air conditioners and furnaces are much more energy efficient now than those installed 10 to 20 years ago. So you want to have a new air handler/furnace that has the same capacity and efficiency as your new AC compressor. Mixing the old technology with the new can decrease system performance and comfort. Replacing both at once may also cost slightly less than replacing one part of your system one year and another part the next.

DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors." Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock. >>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. GT Advanced Technologies GT Advanced Technologies ( GTAT) is a technology company with innovative crystal growth equipment and solutions for solar, LED and electronics industries. This stock closed up 8.1% at $10.24 in Monday's trading session. Monday's Volume: 8.78 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 5.12 million
Volume % Change: 195% >>5 Breakout Trades Under $10 From a technical perspective, GTAT spiked sharply higher here right above some near-term support at $9.14 with heavy upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last four months, with shares skyrocketing higher from its low of $3.44 to its recent high of $10.60. During that uptrend, shares of GTAT have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of GTAT within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if GTAT manages to take out Monday's high of $10.35 to its 52-week high at $10.60 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GTAT as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $9.14 or above its 50-day at $8.15 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 5.12 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then GTAT will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $13 to $16.

Elizabeth is the Iceman week one she was the top now she's at bottom
Right now I think frionel's is the one that matches more what I think
But I agree that every character is viable
And Beni is Magneto and and Ash is Captain Commando... (Mindfucked) don't compare KOF to Marvel tier lists.
Not suprised he's too good on this game everyone knows that. And his super forgot the name, is like 98 iori's maiden masher super all over again. And its pretty safe to say it was a top if not the best super in 98. Well that's not all what makes him so good, just one reason.
I'm not talking about the special being safe, have you seen ioris maiden masher from 98? Its ridiculously unsafe but the invinciblity at start up is what makes it so bad ass. If you play 98 youll know damn well that's the most feared wake up reversal super and, works somewhat like an anti air, and can go under a lot of projectiles, truly an amazing super. HahaBro... none of his supers are safe from what I know. Do you mean his Ryo Ranbu?
I'm not talking about the special being safe, have you seen ioris maiden masher from 98? Its ridiculously unsafe but the invinciblity at start up is what makes it so bad ass. If you play 98 youll know damn well that's the most feared wake up reversal super and, works somewhat like an anti air, and can go under a lot of projectiles, truly an amazing super. Haha
Doesent ryo ranbu have invincibility at start up?
Ohh okay then. Correction, his "ex" ryo ranbu is likw maiden masher all over again. =]iirc only the ex version does.
Very interesting list. Almost a totally results-based tier list. Skewed probably a bit too much based on character popularity, but it's the best starting point for a conventional tier list I've seen. The only glaring things I would change is moving Beni up to 2nd tier at least, and swap Billy and Leona.Interesting, 6/23 3pm JST: Shinjuku Playland Carnival - First ever Climax ratio match.
Team total max 6:
5 Karate
4 Kyo, EX Iori
3 Saiki, Benimaru, Hwa, Shen, Iori
2 K`, Kula, Duolon, EX Kyo, Leona, Andy, King, Kensou, Ryo, Robert
1 Ash, Elizabeth, Billy, Daimon, Joe, Takuma, Mature, Vice, Kim, Yuri, Raiden, Ralf, Clark, Mai, Chin
0 Athena, Terry, Maxima
※Some adjustments made based on frequency of use
Ah! If this were the case, EX Iori would probably be on my team for sure. Ratio 0 and 1 have viable characters - I would probably run Athena and then the member would be someone like Ash, Mature, or Elizabeth. (The truth is, I have not yet tested Mr. Karate... and I've been wanting to for the longest time) Maxima would be able to dish out lots of damage along with his autoguard but the player would have to be really careful of zoners and his speed!Snip
Are you referring to event-hubs or another tier list...? I don't normally play as either one of the characters but, I can give you insight on their arsenal for you to review and interpret.What are some reason mr. Karate is considered better than ex iori?
Probably one of the best ideas
Oh... and King is the second character who can conduct cross up from a throw by rolling pass them.
Ok, now i'll talk about Leona, an incredible underrated character IMO.
Low Tier - As in really low, i mean yeah, Leona is an underrated character and all, but she needs meter, that's a given, so unless you feel pretty comfortable with your rival's point character you should avoid Leona in this position, even if her normals are some of the best in the game (specially her air to air and air to ground normals) you don't want to face an Ex Iori or a King (some of the best point characters in the game IMO) without Meter, besides she is not that good gaining meter since you will most likely spend it almost right away in order to do some damage, still and like i said, her normals are godlike, but hardly enough reason to put Leona first.
I'll take pleasure in that! I'll Mature, Kensou, EX Iori in that order... then I will focus on Mai and the Regular Kyo afterwards.I can honestly say I will never be patient or precise enough to use Leona effectively, she's just too specialized of a character in my opinion.
How about some more rekka characters? Like Mature?
Thanks...and i'm not much of an Ash player, but i don't like him as Anchor, i do like him in Second and Point is solid i guess...sorry to not be able to give a much better insight on him, but i don't use him that much.
Since you're talking about charge characters, how about Ash?
:eek: Aw shit... you beat me to the punch. We even have... more or less... the same opinion.
- KOF13 is said to be balanced. But if you were to still pick the top 5 and bottom 5 characters, who would they be?
Kaoru: Top 5 would be Karate, Ryo, Daimon, Kim, and Maxima.Bottom 5 would be Elisabeth, Mature, K', Ash, and Kensou.
I don't think the game is balanced.
Maxima, Daimon, Ryo, and Kim top 5? I would love to hear his reasoning.
Kaoru: Top 5 would be Karate, Ryo, Daimon, Kim, and Maxima.Bottom 5 would be Elisabeth, Mature, K', Ash, and Kensou.
I don't think the game is balanced.
" Kaoru:
I don't think the game is balanced."
LOL! Kaoru is quoted that Maxima is top tier...
Unless there's some secret strategy I can't see it. Because I think the only way you can make Maxima work is if you get a lot of good guesses.
I think Ryo is really good but I don't know about top tier like Kaoru. Maybe because of the parries? No one's really used Ryo like a 3S character.
Actually, I think Ash being in the bottom 5 is the one of the few things I agree with from Karou. He has very low damage output without using meter. Sans-culottes actually costs two meters to use with Ash, and if you land the full combo with it, it does about 330 or so damage ending the the super that locks meter usage for the opponent. I'd say the two best things Ash has going for him are his normals and the fireball. The fireball has really fast recovery, so you can play the classic Guile game of throwing a fireball and waiting to anti-air. I think damage is what is holding Ash back the most, it's just weak.snip

An easing of cost of living pressures and the first wholesale look at government spending in 15 years are among the promises Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is spruiking following his budget reply speech.
Mr Abbott told ABC radio on Friday that power and gas prices would come down with the removal of the carbon tax, although he could not say by how much.
"The government tells us that the carbon tax has added 10 per cent to the price of power, it tells us it has added 9 per cent to the price of gas," he said.
"If the [Australian Competition and Consumer Commission] is out there policing these things, presumably that means a commensurate reduction in the price when the carbon tax goes."
In his reply speech to parliament on Thursday night, Mr Abbott outlined his response to the "budget emergency" created by Labor by reaffirming the Coalition's commitment to repeal the carbon tax but keep the $4 billion in concessions associated with it.
Former Labor leader Kevin Rudd rubbished the Coalition's use of the term "budget emergency", saying it misrepresents the state of the nation's finances.
"The core assumption underpinning Mr Abbott's house of cards last night is the use of this term budget emergency, budget crisis," Mr Rudd said when he appeared on Seven's Sunrise program for his regular Friday stoush with shadow treasurer Joe Hockey on Friday.
"If that's the case, why did John Howard ... just say that Australia's debt level is low by global standards? And what Joe [Hockey] can never answer is, if it's as bad as they point out, why do all three global credit ratings agencies .. .give this government a AAA credit rating?"
Mr Rudd also defended Labor's record on reform of state-federal relations through the Coalition of Australian Governments.
"The bottom line is we've achieved agreements between the Commonwealth and the states in a whole bunch of areas on regulatory reform, and there is still a lot of work to do," he said. "Remember, some of the states co-operate and others don't."
Mr Hockey fired back, saying it was the Howard government that laid the foundations for triple A ratings.
"All three credit rating agencies recognise that Australia would not be in this position if you, Kevin, had not inherited zero debt and surpluses," he said.
"The challenge for Australia going forward is if we don't deal now with the challenge of the deficit and the debt when we still have the highest terms of trade in Australian history, when we still have 5¾ unemployment ... when the next crisis comes along there will be total chaos in the economy."
Mr Abbott has also committed the Coalition to a commission of audit if it wins government at the September 14 election.
"This is something that does need to be done every couple of decades because it's important to be sure that government is doing only those things that people can't do for themselves," he said.

An elderly woman was seriously injured when a car struck her while she was crossing a suburban street in Canberra's north, ACT police say.
The 77-year-old woman was walking across Verbrugghen Street, near the intersection with Brownlee Place in Melba, around 6am on Thursday when a car knocked her to the ground.
Instead of stopping to assist her, police allege its driver fled the scene.
Officers believe the car was a mid to late 1990s Suzuki Swift.
The vehicle will have sustained damage to its left side.
Anyone who witnessed this hit and run, or who can identify the car involved, should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via act.crimestoppers.com.au.

No. 9: Samsung Electronics
$79.0 billion
$10.4 billion
It's hard to stay on top in business without constantly adjusting to changes in the marketplace. Samsung Electronics Co. CEO Yun Jong Yong's philosophy for coping with those changes boils down to two key principles: Get constant customer feedback, and instill a sense of urgency in your employees. That thinking grew out of Yun's appointment as chief executive just as the late 1990s Asian financial crisis got under way and Samsung came close to collapsing under a huge debt load. Yun vowed never again. ``Once you grow complacent, you can easily fall into a crisis,'' warns Yun. ``But learning to live with a sense of crisis will make you more competitive.''
Keeping the company's 113,600 employees on their toes has helped Samsung become a more nimble player. Few other electronics companies adapted as quickly to the industry's sudden shift from analog to digital. That transformed Samsung from a maker of me-too products in the '90s into a leading innovator today. ``Speed in sensing and responding to market needs makes all the difference,'' Yun says. One example of that hypercompetitiveness: Samsung outsources one-third of any given product's components to rivals. That forces the company's in-house part-making units to innovate like crazy and slash costs to remain competitive. The craziness works: Samsung is now a leader in flash-memory chips, flat-screen panels, and mobile phones.

Where to get a Remote for AVR35 Harman/Kardon
Ok, where can one get a replacement remote for a Harman/Kardon AVR 35 Receiver?
Got one in excellent working/cosmetic condition at a garage sale (for $6 no less...) but it is missing its remote. Looked at "1-800 remotes" and they recommend the RCA universal remote and then posted a ludicris price for it (the same thing at K-Mart is like $20-30 - I wont even post what they wanted for it - but I coulda bought one for every room in my house for that much $... ) Sad thing is - I have one of those remotes and "shock-surprise" it has no code that will work with H/K products.
So suggestions on a replacement? Or point me in a direction to get a used one?
Thanks in advance...

On Board Deluxe Wedding Package: Carnival Fascination Cruise Review by Maly46153
Overall Member Rating
On Board Deluxe Wedding Package
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Jacksonville
The Ceremony was quiet and intimate, everyone cried including our Wedding coordinator, Vanya. She was one of the highlights of the package. She was attentive, understanding, helpful, and my wedding would not have been the same without her.
I read previous blogs about he photographs not turning out well, which I'm sure depends on the photographer that you get, but Wayan was FANTASTIC and made me turn in ways that made me look so good in the pictures! I think I lost 10 lbs in front of his camera.
The reception had the best food on the ship. It was also never ending so when all the delicious fruit martini glasses were eaten - they would just bring more! Also the open bar was fantastic.
A couple things to look out for: I was a little disappointed that I had to choose between a Social Host and an More Entertainment Specialist. This meant I had to choose between my own playlist with my friends announcing things like the first dance or a dj picked top 40 with a professional announcing the activities. I chose my own playlist and my man of honor and matron of honor did a great job, but I don't understand why I had to choose.
Although everything turned out great it was a little nerve racking knowing that the flowers (with your input) was pretty much up to the local florist. Also, the rooms were not 100% guaranteed until a week beforehand -- however, once I got on the ship I realized any of the lounges would have been a great place for the reception.
Advice to couples looking to get hitched on the boat:
1) Keep it small (this is cheapest, most manageable, and most fun) we did about 20 people.
2) Start early. The earlier the better. We started about 1 1/2 years before to give the guests time to get vacate and such.
3) Plan, plan, plan - we brought (6) tall vases from Hobby Lobby with fake flowers (real ones not allowed on the ship unless from the local florist) as well as fake flower petals for the aisle. It turned out magnificent.
4) Have all of your guests cruise with you (perfect atmosphere for bachelor and bachelorette parties)
5) Make your spa (hair/makeup and nail) appts really early on board - as in right when you step on the ship.
6) Gift baskets can be delivered to the room (make sure all water is unopened) for a $1 fee. This added so much to the experience of our guests. We included a water spray fan, deck of playing cards, disposable camera, walkie talkies, and bottled water.
7) Oh yea, walkie talkies are a MUST to keep in contact, but avoid the crazy cell phone roaming costs.
Overall I would rate the Wedding a 9/10. On board it was actually a 10/10, but the planning process made me dock that one point (I had to be over prepared to get what I wanted).
It was fantastic! Thank you Carnival! Less
Published 04/15/13
Cabin review: 12u094
U094 had a fantastic view, was very quiet, and had wonderful services. It was very clean and stayed that way. The room is HUGE compared to the other rooms on the ship. The only complaint is that the balcony is VERY CONNECTED to the balconies beside it (meaning you can hear everything). It is only a gate (full sized, but cracks around it). Overall I would rate U094 5/5.

In the wake of Mike Daisey's exposure as a fabulist, The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human arrives at the perfect moment. The Atlantic's Maura Kelly examines Jonathan Gottschall's argument that storytelling's deceptions emerge from deeply human needs:
When we tell stories about ourselves, they also serve another important (arguably higher) function: They help us to believe our lives are meaningful. "The storytelling mind"—the human mind, in other words—"is allergic to uncertainty, randomness, and coincidence," Gottschall writes. It doesn't like to believe life is accidental; it wants to believe everything happens for a reason. Stories allow us to impose order on the chaos.
And we all concoct stories, Gotschall notes—even those of us who have never commanded the attention of a room full of people while telling a wild tale. "[S]ocial psychologists point out that when we meet a friend, our conversation mostly consists of an exchange of gossipy stories," he writes. "And every night, we reconvene with our loved ones ... to share the small comedies and tragedies of our day."
Regarding Daisey, what I found most upsetting were not the lies about his visit to China, but those about storytelling itself: he lied about the nature of the lies we love. He expected others to accept his claims as journalism, and when exposed, excused this by appealing to dramatic license, to our acknowledgement that stories' truths may be complex and counterfactual.
This wasn't an attempt at rebuilding confidence in the underlying truth of his narrative. In his contempt for storytelling's subtle consensual boundaries, Daisey's only real demand was that all stories be seen as no more truthful than his.

New reseach shows the Western Cape - where the DA-led government has accused the ANC of stoking violence - had nearly a quarter of all protests in the country this year.
Now the ANC provincial executive committee is calling for restraint and asking community leaders to discourage violence.
The research, by Municipal IQ, showed protests were on the increase across the country, with 113 so far this year, compared to a low of two in 2006. This year also accounted for 22 percent of all protests recorded since January 2004.
Karen Heese, an economist at Municipal IQ, said "the trend of violent protests remains a key concern", with 88 percent of protests last month turning violent.
Almost half the protests last month (46 percent) took place in informal settlements, and Heese said this highlighted "the desperation of these communities living on the margins of local economies during the bitter winter months".
The research, "The Hotspots Monitor: major protests staged by community members against a municipality", said protests were mostly to do with "perceived responsibility of local government such as councillor accountability, the quality and pace of basic service delivery, and, in metro areas, housing".
Heese said the Western Cape remained "the most protest-afflicted province in 2012", followed by the Free State.
The Western Cape accounted for 24 percent of protests, followed by the Free State at 14 percent.
KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo had the lowest number of protests, both accounting for just 6 percent of the national figure.
"Political and community leaders should try to channel community grievances constructively to avoid the violence and destruction that has typified protests during 2012," said Heese.
The ANC has echoed this call, with provincial secretary Songezo Mjongile calling for restraint.
"The provincial executive committee calls on community leaders to discourage violence and damage associated with service delivery protests, as this gives room to opportunistic elements who try to demonise legitimate demands," said Mjongile, referring to the DA's accusation that the ANC was responsible for the wave of violent protests in the Western Cape.
Premier Helen Zille and Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille have gone as far as filing criminal charges against the party.
However, Mjongile laid responsibility for community anger at the door of the DA.
"The ANC calls on the provincial and metro governments to give the same attention to issues raised by the communities in the same way that it does to people in the leafy suburbs," said Mjongile.
United Democratic Movement president Bantu Holomisa also waded into the debate, saying the recent flurry of service delivery protests in the Western Cape showed people were losing patience with the "failure of most municipalities to provide even the most basic services".
Holomisa said these communities "continue to receive just a tiny fraction of budget allocations, even though they have the highest service delivery and infrastructure development backlogs". - The Star

The 7.5 mile Interstate 94 Clearwater to St. Cloud construction zone is scheduled to return to four lanes of traffic throughout the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend.
Both directions of I-94 have been reduced to a single lane 24-hours per day, seven days per week. That changes Memorial Day Weekend (May 24 to May 27), when all lanes of I-94 will be open, as well as Fourth of July week (July 2 to July 7), said J.P. Gillach, MnDOT District 3 public affairs coordinator.
Crews have been placing a concrete overlay on the existing road surface and reconstructing height clearances beneath four overpasses as well as replacing guardrails and cable median barriers. Project work is estimated at $16.4 million.
See this week's print edition of the Monticello Times for an Interstate 94 construction update, including information about road surface repairs from Monticello to St. Michael scheduled for this summer.

TURIN, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Italian carmaker Fiat will build Maserati and Alfa Romeo models at its flagship Mirafiori plant in Turin, Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said, safeguarding the under-utilised factory's future for now.
Fiat, which controls U.S. carmaker Chrysler, plans to use its idled Italian factories to produce Jeeps, Maseratis and Alfa Romeos for export, as it relies increasingly on overseas sales to offset flagging demand in recession-hit Italy.
"I've made a commitment. We are not closing Mirafiori," Marchionne said in a public interview. "We will make luxury cars for both Maserati and for Alfa Romeo."
Marchionne said on Sunday Fiat's two factories in Turin will make cars for export to compete for market share with premium German brands like Volkswagen's Audi and BMW .
Mirafiori, which recently has only been running for a few days per month, is next in line for new investments. Fiat in December said it is investing about 1.2 billion euros to relaunch Maserati, and about another billion to build Jeeps at its Melfi factory.
Fiat has not officially said which models it will build at Mirafiori. Union sources say they expect it to build the Maserati sports utility vehicle, the Levante, and an Alfa Romeo SUV at Mirafiori.
While previous attempts to expand its Maserati and Alfa Romeo brands have fallen flat, Marchionne said on Sunday that Chrysler's 2,300-strong U.S. dealer network will make the difference. Marchionne brushed off the idea that Fiat was not capable of competing in the luxury segment, given its track record at Ferrari.
"The world's most expensive car is going to be unveiled at the Geneva auto show next month - it's a Ferrari," he told the audience. "The Enzo is already completely sold. It's made by Italian workers, by Italian engineers, and by Italian designers. And you ask me what I need to learn from the Germans?"
In terms of smaller cars, Fiat plans to extend its Panda range with a crossover-styled version like it did for the Fiat 500 X, said Marchionne.
"There will probably be a Panda X," he said.

Rizing Fukuoka coach Tadaharu Ogawa likes to keep things simple. Sure, he reminds his players about basic strategies before, during and after games, but he understands the value of simplicity.
Or as guard Kohei Mitomo put it: "As coach Ogawa always says, 'Focus on the game for 40 minutes.' "
The Rizing have been one of the bj-league's most dangerous teams this season. Entering this weekend's two-game road trip to Okinawa to face the reigning champion Ryukyu Golden Kings, Fukuoka (26-18) is involved in a riveting three-way battle for the Western Conference regular-season title.
The Golden Kings (27-17) and the red-hot Osaka Evessa (26-16), winners of eight straight games, are ahead of the Kyushu-based club in the standings, but Ogawa's team has positioned itself as a legitimate title contender, thanks to tenacious defense (a league-high 476 steals for starters) and a balanced offensive attack (82.9 points per game, No. 2 in the league).
All-Star forward Michael Parker is the club's tone-setter at both ends of the floor. He leads the league in scoring (26.7 ppg), steals (2.8) and minutes (1,768), is fourth in both dunks (1.4) and blocked shots (1.7) and eighth in rebounds (11.2).
In addition, Parker embraces his role as a leader.
"I'm happy to be a leader," said Parker in a recent phone interview. "Well, I mean, I am definitely looked to as one of the leaders. I've been here for three years.
"For me, Tsuyoshi (Kawazura) and Mitomo, we just take the roles that coach Ogawa and the assistant coaches gave us, and between us three we get it done."
Ogawa recognizes the impact Parker has made, but stresses a team-first attitude instead of giving credit to a single player.
"Parker is not the only player, but he is one of the players who supports the team mentally with captain Kawazura," Ogawa said. "But he always plays all-around basketball."
Like the rest of the league, the Rizing have made roster changes this season in an effort to find ways to improve. They've added a pair of big men in Thiago Cordeiro and Sylvester Morgan to complement a solid nucleus, including Marlyn Bryant (15.9 ppg), Mitomo (9.9), Richard Ford Jr. (9.4) and Kawazura, the steady point guard (172 assists, 38 turnovers).
"In the Western Conference this season, there is pretty much the same potential on each team," said Ogawa, the ex-Oita HeatDevils coach who stressed communication as a priority when he took over as coach after former bench boss John Neumann's two-year stint with Fukuoka.
The Rizing have won seven of eight games against Ogawa's ex-club, which is currently in fifth place, but have gone 0-4 against the Evessa. They are 2-2 against the Golden Kings and 4-2 against the fourth-place Shiga Lakestars.
"One of the reasons why each team is at the same level is each team did get good players," Ogawa noted.
He added: "Our goal is (to reach) the top of the mountain, to win a championship, of course. But what we have to do right now is win each game that is in front of us. . ."
Despite having a new coach in place, Parker remains the top scoring option, and he's comfortable with that challenge.
"Since I've been playing with these guys they know how I play," said Parker, who starred at Evergreen (Wash.) State, a school with an enrollment of 4,400 for the 2009-10 academic year. "They pretty much want me to have the ball and it's pretty much understood what my role is with this team.
"It worked out that this is the role that I could take."
|* * * * *
One of the oldest sayings in team sports — "Defense wins championships" — remains a staple of the Rizing's identity, specifically in how the team goes about disrupting the offensive game plans of their opponents.
Parker and Mitomo both said Ogawa doesn't yell and scream about the need to collect a certain number of steals per game. Instead, he takes a more subtle approach.
"He basically puts us in positions to make the steals," Parker said.
Neumann laid the foundation for Fukuoka's sustained success on defense, according to Parker.
"We've been playing super pressure team defense for two years before Ogawa got here, so it's ingrained in us. Now it's just natural for us," Parker said.
Individual skills and collective anticipation unite Parker and his teammates in their quest to frustrate foes.
"We all have that focus when we know that we are going to try to get a steal," Parker said.
Reacting to a defender and tipping passes are all a part of the equation, helping Parker collect 124 steals, with 74 more for Masahiro Kano, 60 for Kawazura and 53 for Mitomo.
"It's not just one person stripping the ball to get a steal," said Parker, who likened the endeavor as similar to a hockey player being credited with a second assist on a goal.

What are philosophers good at? Eric Schwitzgebel reports on the results of an experiment which suggests the answer is "not the things they'd like you to believe they're good at":
The simplest interpretation of our overall results, across three types of scenarios (Double Effect, Moral Luck, and Action-Omission), is that in cases like these skill in philosophy doesn't manifest as skill in consistently applying explicitly endorsed abstract principles to reach stable judgments about hypothetical scenarios; rather, it manifests more as skill in choosing principles to rationalize, post-hoc, scenario judgments that are driven by the same types of factors that drive non-philosophers' judgments.
You can click the link for the details of the experiment. Here, I just want to say that this fits with other observations that have been made about the nature of philosophy. It's worth quoting a large section here of a paper I found via Andres Ruiz, titled "There Is No Progress in Philosophy":
Philosophy does not even stumble forward. Philosophy does not move forward at all. It is the exactly the same today as it was 3000 years ago; indeed, as it was from the beginning. What it does do is stay current; philosophers confuse this with advancing, with making progress. Staying current is not moving forward any more than staying up on the latest fashions or music is movement toward greater social justice.
I know this claim of mine strikes philosophers as obviously false, crazy, and outrageous. I get two kinds looks. One kind is one of utter confusion, as if I'd just sincerely asserted "One plus one equals three." The other is one of disgust as if I just sincerely asserted "Slavery is morally required."
"Look," you might say, in a spirit of trying to correct someone who thinks the moon is made of green cheese, "we all think slavery is immoral. In fact, we know it is. How is that not philosophical progress? How is that not progress in ethics which is branch of philosophy?"
I didn't say society doesn't progress. It does. We are now quite clear on the immorality of slavery. (More or less: though slavery is illegal in every country in the world, there are more slaves now than ever, and it is a billion dollar business). But philosophy didn't discover slavery's immorality. Philosopher's weren't leading the charge against slavery when it was openly and commonly practiced. What happened was that political leaders and social activists (who weren't philosophers, but social activists) changed the way many thought about slavery to the point that attitudes changed, laws were enacted, and society and culture thereby changed. Philosophers had to catch up. That is true across the board in ethics. Except for a tiny handful of writings (Mill's on women's rights, for example; Locke on individual liberty and equal rights), philosophers were, and still are, not at the vanguard of any advance in morality and ethics. Philosophers didn't discover and start the push for animals rights, civil rights, rights for the disabled, the dienfranchised, they didn't push first, before everyone else, for increased diversity and respect for all humans and all life. They had to catch up to these ideas, and frankly, many are lagging quite far behind, still.
"But even so," you might reply, "philosophers now know that slavery is wrong. That's an advance, as you clearly admitted, so philosophy does advance."
Oh yeah… why is slavery immoral? No two philosophers will answer this the same way. Even within the consequentialists in my department there are several different explanations as to why slavery is immoral. We just know that it is. And knowing the latter is something many know. Philosophy's job–if it even has one–is to explain or say why slavery is immoral. And it hasn't done that.
The thing I want to highlight here is the process of first coming to a conclusion (slavery is immoral) and then trying to come up with a justification for it. Even if philosophers managed to agree on why slavery is immoral, the fact that they mainly tried to come up with a justification after the fact leads you to suspect that their justification didn't have anything to do with the real reason people decided slavery was immoral. And that would raise suspicions that they hadn't found the real reason why slavery is immoral, in spite of their agreement with each other.
I am prepared to take this line of explanation a step further: The reason so many violent institutions succumbed within so short a span of time was that the arguments that slew them belong to a coherent philosophy that emerged during the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment. The ideas of thinkers like Hobbes, Spinoza, Descartes, Locke, David Hume, Mary Astell, Kant, Beccaria, Smith, Mary Wollstonecraft, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and John Stuart Mill coalesced into a worldview that we call Enlightenment humanism. (It is also sometimes called classical liberalism, though since the 1960s the word liberalism has acquired other meanings as well.) Here is a potted account of this philosophy–a rough but more or less coherent composite of the views of these Enlightenment thinkers…
Morality, then, is not a set of arbitrary regulations dictated by a vengeful deity and written down in a book; nor is it the custom of a particular culture or tribe. It is a consequence of the interchangeability of perspectives and the opportunity the world provides for positive-sum games. This foundation of morality may be seen in the many versions of the Golden Rule that have been discovered by the world's major religions, and also in Spinoza's Viewpoint of Eternity, Kant's Categorical Imperative, Hobbes and Rousseau's Social Contract, and Locke and Jefferson's self-evident truth that all people are created equal (pp. 180, 182).
I don't know how anyone with a halfway decent knowledge of the history of philosophy could read this–or for that matter write it–without wincing. The truth is that there was no coherent philosophy shared by all these thinkers. Hobbes' Social Contract was motivated entirely by self-interest. Kant was not only fanatically opposed to self-interest but also thought it was morally wrong to take into account the effects of your actions on other people. And Hume infamously denied it was against reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of your little finger. There's no way we can say that their arguments "slew" anything, because their arguments were mutually incompatible.
Insofar as their conclusions converge, my guess is that it's because they took conclusions which were already starting to become popular and then set out to justify them. Even of Locke, who the author of "There Is No Progress in Philosophy" allows was an exception to the general pattern. His famous Two Treatises of Government was published a year after the British Parliament established it's authority over the King in the Glorious Revolution. His Letter Concerning Toleration reached conclusions similar to Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise, but through very different arguments, and both works came after Europeans had had plenty of opportunity to get sick of killing each other over religion.
This is extremely relevant to debates over the value of philosophy. And not just because philosophy can't claim credit for moral progress, but also because it's a strike against the claim that studying philosophy makes you better at finding the truth. It may just make you better at post-hoc rationalizations of things you came to believe for other reasons.

THREE stories from two devasting world conflicts featured in the Gazette's pages this week are a stark reminder of civilisation's fragility.
They are tales of heroism involving land, sea and air - of ordinary men who carried out extraordinary acts to protect our cherished democratic freedoms.
This year, the public's attention is naturally focused on the centenary of the First World War's outbreak and the Government's decision to pay £100,000 towards the cleaning and restoration of Victoria Cross recipients' graves is a symbolic contribution to the commemorations.
In Cumbria, the graves of three VC heroes - James Hewitson, Tom Mayson and Harry Christian - will be restored as part of the project.
Their stories of individual valour under enemy fire were inspirational in what everyone thought would be a 'war to end all wars'.
But, sadly, this was not meant to be and two other stories featured in these pages reveal further heroic tales, this time from the Second World War.
The story of the Australian airman William Graham is particularly poignant because it is also a tragic tale of romance. On August 16, 1944, just 11 days after he married his young Cumbrian bride, William was to perish in a mid-air collision.
Our third story is an obituary, recalling the wartime exploits of former RAF bomb aimer Archie Johnstone, who has died aged 99.
Archie, who flew with the Dambusters Squadron, helped to sink notorious German battleship Tirpitz in a daring raid over Norwegian fjords in 1944.
All of these stories are testament to the bravery and resilience of our armed services as they fought to preserve this nation's free, tolerant and democratic way of life.
As current events in Syria and Ukraine worryingly show, peace and security can never be taken for granted.
We owe it to past our heroes to ensure that we remain equipped to preserve what they fought to save.

[Press Release]
THE MARKETS – Global Publishing Summit 2016 Visionaries, Analysts, Business partners
Market overview for Poland: Last Hope for Fixed Book Prices?
Frankfurt, 23 March 2016 – Following its successful debut in 2015, Frankfurt Book Fair's opening conference THE MARKETS will once again shift the focus to seven book and media markets. The markets in 2016 are:
United Kingdom
The Netherlands & Flanders
The Philippines
United Arabic Emirates
Important publishers, strategists and industry experts from the countries named will be invited to present their respective markets with analysis, personal tips on upcoming developments and trends on Tuesday, 18 October 2016. The single day conference is organised by the Frankfurt Book Fair in cooperation with Publishing Perspectives, the renowned trade journal for the international book industry.
Book market Poland: Fight over discounts in book selling
It is a fight with no holds barred: with discounts of up to 50 percent, Poland's publishers and booksellers vie for rare readers. According to the Polish Book Institute (2014), 58 percent of the country, with amounts to 40 million people, does not read books. Only 2 percent of the Polish population buys more than seven books per year.
The levy of VAT of 5 percent, introduced in 2011, lower income rates and the rise of ecommerce exacerbates the crisis surrounding printed books, which has had a lock on the Polish book market since 2010. Since then sales have sunk from 735 to 582 million euros (2014). Following a modest recovery of 0.4 percent in 2013, sales once again slipped by 7.5 percent. This excludes the children's literature market, along with textbooks and reference books, as well as illustrated books, which were able to record slight increases.
The Polish book market currently makes up 3 percent volume of the European market, according to the Polish Chamber of Books (PIK). Industry experts expect further drops in sales in the future and an increased level of competition between the publishers. In 2014 the number of employees in the publishing industry sank by 4.5 percent to 5,260.
Industry associations place great hopes in a fixed book price agreement following the model of Germany and France. A corresponding piece of legislation was introduced in 2014, but became obsolete after the elections in October 2015.
More titles, lower print runs
There were 32,480 titles published in Poland in 2014 (2013: 29,710), including 18,870 new publications (2013: 15,580). At the same time, the total amount of printed book copies sank by 6.5 percent to 105.1 million copies (2013: 112.4m) as well as the average print run of 3,236 copies (2013: 3,783). In comparison: in Western Europe the average print run is fifteen thousand copies.
Translated around the world
In 2014, around 20 percent of all titles (6,700) were translations. Following English (3,963 titles), German is the second most important language of origin when it comes to translations into Polish.
The most popular Polish authors abroad include Czesław Miłosz (translated into 52 languages), Tadeusz Różewicz (51), Janusz Korczak (50), Wisława Szymborska (50), the former Pope Karol Wojtyła (50), Stanisław Lem (47), Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (47), Sławomir Mrożek (44), Witold Gombrowicz (44), Zbigniew Herbert (43), Ryszard Kapuściński (42) and Jerzy Andrzejewski (40).
High market concentration
The Polish book market is highly concentrated, with 35 publishers making up a market share of 75 percent. In 2014 the five largest publishers (Nowa Era, WSiP, Wolters Kluwer Polska, Pearson Central Europe, Grupa Edukacyjna) had 37 percent of the market. Distribution was dominated by multimedia and book store chains like Matras or Empik with hundreds of points of sale and with 150,000 titles in their portfolio, which led to a mass extinction of small book stores. Over the last five years the numbers have been reduced by 700, down to 1,854, and have therefore shrunk by 30 percent.
Statistically speaking, there are only 0.48 book stores for every 10,000 persons in Poland (United Kingdom: 0.55, The Netherlands: 1.29, France: 1.69).
Online on the rise
The Polish e-commerce market is generally booming and strong with growth rates of 25 percent per year. With online book sales it is still 9 percent. At the moment, one out of every four book passes over the virtual countertop.
E-book sales also grew in 2014 in comparison to 2013 by the margin of 16.5 percent. At around 56 million złoty (ca. 14 million euros), the e-book market makes up between 4 and 5 percent of the overall market. By the end of 2014, there were 37,000 titles available as e-books.
The largest obstacles to growth are widespread piracy and the very high VAT for online products at 23 percent. (Source: http://dotcomriver.com/report-ecommerce-poland.html)
Poland's book market at a glance (2014*):
Sales: 582.1 million euros (-7.5 percent)
Publishers: ca. 2,000-2,500
Titles published: 32,480
New publications: 18,870
Book sold: 105.8 million copies (-6.5 percent)
Average book price: 9.74 euros
Book stores: 1,854
