You can still access all the forums/threads through the Tapatalk app no problem, but "subscriptions" (discussions you're following) aren't updating in the Notifications "tab" since July 18th. I've tried "unfollowing" discussions, then adding them back in, but they still won't update here.

I use Tapatalk on an iPad. Had issues with the notifications not working for several weeks. Finally got around to deleting the app, reinstalling which has resolved the issue.

I. Early years Barbara Pierce, born on June 8, 1925, in New York City, was the third child of Marvin and Pauline Pierce. When she was born, her sister, Martha, was 5, and her brother, James, was 3. Two other children came after Barbara.
She lived in a fashionable town named Rye in Westchester County on Long Island Sound. Her parents had married in 1918 and the family's wealth came from the Ohio iron foundry business. Life there was comfortable and her family was very loving. She got her sense of humor from her father. She entered Ashley Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, a private boarding school for girls.
II. College Barbara went to Smith, but dropped out in her sophomore year when she married George Bush in 1945 III. Life before First Lady Before George Bush was president, Barbara had appeared at public functions many times. She had spoken at school graduations, anniversary commemorations, fund-raisers, and conferences of all types.
Also, at this time, the Bushes kept moving to many places. Twenty-nine movings in all. Some places were: Midland - TX, Houston - TX, Washington, DC, New York City, and Beijing - China.
In 1946, their first son, George W. Bush is born. Then, Pauline is born in 1949. Third child, John, is born in 1953, but Pauline also dies of Leukemia that year. After that, Neill Mallon is born in 1955, Marvin Pierce is born in 1956, and finally, in 1959, Dorothy Walker is born.
During the time before First Lady, her mom also dies in a car accident in 1949.
IV. First Lady In 1989, Barbara Pierce Bush moves into the White House as First Lady with her husband, President George Bush. Mrs. Bush volunteered in and supported hundreds of charity and humanitarian causes.

Innovation Awards 2020
Finalists Announced
EDGE 2020 Goes Virtual

Sydney, 18 May 2004 – Network Associates, the leading provider of intrusion prevention solutions, today announced the launch of its Appera Application Manager 1.0 software solution. Through the introduction of Appera software, Sniffer Technologies now provides both network and applications managers with the ability to help manage the application lifecycle from pre-applications deployment testing all the way through to post-application deployment troubleshooting.

This announcement provides customers with the necessary tools to help improve the availability, performance, and efficiency of their applications, as well as the underlying network infrastructure. It enables them to reduce the business risks related to the deployment and maintenance of key applications such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Process Automation (BPA).

The Appera Application Manager 1.0 software solution operates as a software application blade to Sniffer Distributed 4.5, also announced today, and leverages the same instrumentation that network managers have relied on for 18 years, while delivering additional intelligence that provides in-depth analysis of application performance. Key components of Appera Application Manger include:
• Application discovery – Appera software is able to automatically discover and provide visibility to out-of-the-box to key applications such as SAP R3, Oracle, and PeopleSoft by looking at application flows to classify packets and measure statistics. Through its customer-aided discovery, Appera software can also be configured to recognise many other applications, such as in-house created custom applications
• Hyper-locking – provides the ability to lock, or drill-down, on application, client, server, VLAN, and time dimensions in order to increase availability and performance and reduce mean-time-to-resolution. This allows IT staff to focus on a single event to gain insight into a specific problem and whether it is network or application based to bring the appropriate resolution, and then proceed to viewing a different activity or event.
• Time interval separation – Appera Application Manager 1.0 enables IT staff to see problems evolve over time intervals. The intervals can be broken down in five or fifteen minute increments with a two-hour historical view. The Appera solution's highly granular views help to further decrease mean-time-to-resolution in order to maximise the availability and performance of business-critical applications.

Appera Application Manager also helps IT staff to more efficiently operate their networks and applications to reduce or defer capital expenditures. Additionally, Appera Application Manager provides insight into bandwidth consumed by non-business applications and offers statistics that help gauge application efficiency and chattiness and maintain VLAN integrity.

Through the introduction of Appera software, Sniffer Technologies leverages its 18-year legacy in network performance management to become the leader in network-based application performance management. The following solutions complement the Appera Application Manager to provide network and application managers with solutions that address their business and technology needs.

The company is also introducing:
nPO Visualizer 2.5. The nPO Visualizer product from Sniffer Technologies enables IT personnel to produce both short and long-term reports on bandwidth utilisation, predominant protocols and applications, users and servers that are consuming the most bandwidth, and application response times. nPO Visualizer 2.5 adds trending of Appera Application Manager data and improved security and performance to improve its ability to report on the industry's widest breadth of instrumentation, from the core of the network out to the edge.

Sniffer Voice 2.5. Sniffer Voice provides network managers with tools and insights needed to facilitate successful VoIP rollouts, and enhances overall quality of service. It plays an important role in optimising the management of converged voice, video, and data networks. With today's announcement, Sniffer Voice 2.5 offers enhanced filtering by audio and video payloads; updated protocol decodes to the newest specifications, including H.323v4, H.225v4, H245v8, H.261, H.263, RTSP, Faststart and RASv4; and enhanced VoIP alarms.

Multi-trace traffic analysis. The nPO Manager 3.0 technology, also announced today, contains multi-trace analysis which provides network managers with the ability to analyse multi-segment flows from Sniffer Distributed data captures, allowing for rapid problem detection and resolution through its ability to identify whether problems reside with the client, the server or application, or the network. New features of the nPO Manager multi-trace functionality include the ability to automatically isolate problems in multi-tier Web application environments, the common deployment of many strategic applications such as CRM and ERP; on-demand decode of secure socket layer (SSL) encrypted traffic to troubleshoot encrypted Web traffic; and a comparative analysis tool that documents effects of changes to the network infrastructure, showing the network and application performance and utilisation before, during, and after application deployments.

The products announced today will be available through direct sales and channel partners, and will begin shipping in June 2004. For additional information on Appera Application Manager please contact Sniffer Technologies at +61 2 9761 4200.

I was so pleased to join in the telephone town hall for a focused discussion by expert panelists, engaging an audience of more than 500 callers who posed questions in an interactive setting on the Korean Peninsula Foreign Relations issue. The panelists were well informed, audience questions flourished, and a genuine discussion enlightened us all. I was so pleased to hear an informed question from one of our women legislators, Rep. Harriett Drummond, an Alaskan who is one of our WiLL State Directors in that state.
Panelist Paul Carroll highlighted the important role that Korean-Americans can play in calling for diplomacy instead of war against North Korea just as the voices of Iranian-Americans have played an important role in promoting diplomacy between the US and Iran. His point hit home as, in fact, the town hall was co-sponsored by Asian Americans Advancing Justice and Georgia WAND, and was conducted in both the English and Korean languages. This town hall meeting offered an intersection for those working to reduce the nuclear threat and promote peaceful diplomacy in place of weapons and war, and those serving the Asian American communities in America to secure full and equal rights through civic participation. There is a potent opportunity to build on this event, to continue this conversation, to bring these forces together, combining our efforts and our voices to better understand the history and present reality of the Korean Peninsula, and to jointly promote a peace-making agenda in the face of today's escalation of hostile rhetoric and nuclear threat.
The telephone town hall was a ground-breaking effort in bringing together organizations and activists that can pave a road toward collaboration, civic engagement, and peaceful outcomes for this volatile region, a road that leads away from nuclear brinkmanship and toward skillfully crafted diplomatic solutions. Our US Senators need to hear and heed these voices from Georgia, and across the nation.

Last class of the year tonight
It's the final session with my Bunny Calligraphers tonight.
(Yes, I know, everyone wants to be a Bunny Calligrapher! It's not quite as bizarre as it sounds - we actually meet in a charming little village called Bunny - not a fluffy tail or a long ear to be seen!)
It's almost exactly a year since I put the feelers out for running a group near to Nottingham, and it has been a total pleasure. The group has consisted of people who knew I did calligraphy and wanted to see what it was all about, those who knew me through other avenues, and those who responded to my adverts.
It's been a really fun year, and has been exciting seeing people gaining a new calligraphy skill and then finding ways to use their skill.
And we've consumed a lot of chocolate biscuits, and laughed about a lot of "real life" that people have been facing!
I'm confident that the group will start again in September - hopefully with many of the faces from this year, plus some new people too! (If you think you might be interested, do please click here to drop me a note).
I don't have many photos of the lovely variety of work that the class did, but here's a few following the week where we learned how to draw celtic knots:

If you have a child, know a child or were a child; you know all about irrational fears. You remember, there was that demented clown hiding under your bed or in your closet. There was something in the thunderstorm that was waiting to pounce on you and do… well… you didn't know what but you knew it would be bad and terrifying. As we get older we talk ourselves out of irrational fears because we have learned that things don't change just because it is dark. We 'know' that there isn't anything hiding under the bed and our closets are just full of the junk we frantically threw in there during that harried cleaning frenzy last week before the in-laws showed up. We forget after we watch that movie that gets us jumpy, but we fight for the control of our mind and body as we desperately try to talk ourselves down from that fear. We can do that because we really do understand what will and will not hurt us.
But what if we changed those rules?
Enter Autism. I talk about Autism as a thing, don't get mad at me for it. Autism is a thing to me and it is not who my son is. Autism grips hold of him with two hands, and there are times when I can see it squeezing him so tight it won't let my amazing boy out. I have seen him in bad times when all I could see was a shell of a boy and Autism's dominant head rearing. I have seen him in good times when I could look at the boy and see joy in his eyes, in his mannerism, radiating through him – Autism was there, but it wasn't stomping out his beautiful light. I understand many aspects of my son's Autism because I share many sensory problems with my son. I do not feel I am 'Autistic' but I certainly have a lot of 'Autistic Tendencies' – and I would never, ever claim that it is a bad thing. Autism becomes a 'thing' and is a crushing force needing to be dealt with when it is debilitating. So don't judge me and my choice of words because I certainly I won't judge you.
So how does Autism change the game when it comes to that creepy clown in your rocking chair? (Yeah, it's a movie reference and I am probably dating myself!) All bets are off. That's how it changes things. Anything goes and I mean anything. Imagine that you can't explain that you won't be sucked down the toilet or the bathtub drain. An Autistic child may not comprehend what you are trying to tell them. Your words don't register as making sense based on their own observations and fears. They put their hand over that drain and they can feel their skin being sucked downward – you must be wrong. How can you convince a child who has problems with language while using language? You better get creative, let me tell you!! But this isn't how Autism rolls in my house. Sure, my son is 10 and has not a single word that he speaks. He can't even use his iPad to tell me much more than the basics – and that doesn't include when he has to go to the bathroom by the way, but that's another story! My guy understands quite a bit. Yeah we get the blank, corner of the eye ceiling stare when you have lost him; but overall he really does comprehend. So how does Autism change the fear game in our home? It changes the game of pain and annoyance. What are those noises that you just can't stand? Fingernails on the chalkboard? The sound of the dentist drill on a tooth? My hubby can't stand the sound of a nail file. Multiply it, amplify it, and compound it with the inability to escape or tell anyone to stop.
You have just entered my son's world.
It took me YEARS to figure out what was going on with the poor child. All this time I thought he was just terrified of the vacuum cleaner. Then it was the stand mixer. He started getting worse and worse with the hair clippers. Now he gets very anxious with all power tools or anything with a small engine. My sewing machine and ice cream maker teeter back and forth with being okay and not. Some days are better and some days are worse – that is when I had my 'ah-ha' moment. He isn't afraid of the things, or what they are going to do to him. The noise they make does something to him. The chaos of moving things around to where they don't belong does something to him. Oh how I can identify with that! We all have our breaking points. I can stand only so much clutter before I snap and it all needs to be put away – NOW. But what if that breaking point was very low. What if you had such little control over life around you because of your inability to communicate that you found comfort in the fact that you could always count on the kitchen chairs being in the kitchen. But what if mom was mopping the floor and suddenly the chairs were in the living room? And now the floor is wet and I can't go in there, when I want a drink. I'll never be able to drink again! And she moved around the toys to clean and they aren't where they should be. And my world just collapsed because the things that I find comfort in, the things I can understand (people are too complicated and have too many odd rules) are not the way they should be. You changed the rules and now I don't understand or have control over anything. PUT IT BACK!! But I can't yell put it back – so my words come out in behavior. I might throw, I might scream, I might run around obviously upset because I don't know how to tell you that I want you to
I haven't run the vacuum around my son for over 5 years. I bought an amazing carpet sweeper that does an awesome job cleaning the throw rug without using electricity. He is fine with it. I use it at home every night. I sweep the carpet at my dad's house with a broom, no problem. We don't have wall to wall carpet, how on earth could we? But how do you mop without moving things?? Yeah, I have a squirt bottle of my Thieves Cleaner that I can spot clean the floor with. I use it because I know it is plant-based, non-toxic, smells great and I don't have to freak out when he decides it's a good day to lick the floor (yeah, that's another post!!) Sometimes you just need to bust out the bucket and mop and get EVERYTHING clean. Well, you must have 4 people working like clockwork. Someone take the boy outside so he doesn't see us mess up his order in the house. Person number 2 moves everything out of the room that needs moving while person number 3 mops. Person number 4 is charged with drying the floor with a towel so that we can get the stuff put right back into its place. Genius! NOT happening every week, but we got it done this week! The boy comes back inside, hops on the couch and is none the wiser. Mom for the win!
Why won't he go into the bathroom without acting funny though? The poor child is acting like the boogie man is hiding in the shower. For three days I watched this child's anxiety over going in and out of the bathroom and could not figure out what was going on. All the usual things that trigger problems were in their proper place, but still he acted funny about being in there. Finally I mention something to my teenager to get a second opinion.
"The mop never got put away." He tells me. I never even noticed.
And the mop is evil – because it causes chaos.
That poor boy was waiting for three days for me to rock his world – oh the irony.

The New Orleans Saints are three games below .500 heading into Week 15 of the NFL season, but incredibly that still has them in the thick of the race for first place in the NFC South standings. The Saints are listed as road favorites against the Chicago Bears for Monday Night Football.
The Saints sit at 5-8 both SU and ATS through 13 games, and they'll take on a Bears team on Monday night that is also 5-8 both SU and ATS on the season. Chicago, however, finds itself trailing badly in the NFC North race and nowhere near the pack in the NFC's Wild Card race.
[ Check out the latest MNF odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com ]
And with not much to play for on Monday night the Bears find themselves pegged as 3-point home underdogs. Chicago has lost each of its last two games both SU and ATS to the Lions and the Cowboys, producing OVER results for totals bettors in both of those contests. The OVER/UNDER has gone 8-5 in Bears games so far this season.
The Saints are just 1-4 both SU and ATS in their last five games, and they were thumped 41-10 by the Panthers last week despite the fact that they were listed as 8.5-point home favorites for the matchup. The OVER is 4-1 in the Saints' last five games, and 10-3 in their 13 outings.
New Orleans and Chicago last met last October, with the Saints winnings 26-18 in a pick'em at the sportsbooks. Overall, however, New Orleans is just 2-4 SU and 2-2-2 ATS in its last six games against Chicago dating back to 2005, with the OVER paying out in four of those contests.

Youth Ministry
At First Presbyterian Church, we believe that parents are the primary faith teachers, mentors and role models for their children with the church equipping and supporting, not replacing them in their God given responsibility to pass along the faith to every generation. We also believe that we can make students feel significant by giving them something significant to do, so exposing students to mission work is very important! We strive to build relationships with today's youth so that they will feel more secure as they grow in their relationship with Christ.
We use various curriculum series' on Sunday morning, which supports these crucial values. We also offer a year long Confirmation experience for 8th graders who choose to participate in an in depth study of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Presbyterian Church, led by strong Christian mentors.

Team Up to Clean Up – April 7, 2018
The City of Jeffersonville and Jeffersonville City Pride are teaming up to host a litter Clean Up Day. On April 7, from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., we are asking you to join us in a community service project.
Organized pick-ups will be in five city parks – Lansden, Warder, Vissing, Overlook or Allison Brook. Volunteers can participate as a group or as individuals. You can also use this day to organize a pick-up in your neighborhood.
The City will supply gloves and bags. Just let us know how much supplies and what location you will be at a few days before the event.
We encourage groups to make a couple of anti-litter signs to carry so other citizens know what we are doing. If your group has access to an outside display sign, it would be great if you could display the information about the kick-off plus a saying such as " Every Litter Bit Hurts" or "Clean Blocks Build Pride" or something appropriate to your individual group, about a week before the pick-up.
Rain Date – Saturday, April 14
Need more information?

Fake News - From Russian Trolls to Corporate Stock Manipulation
Updated on August 15, 2020 by Kent Campbell
The term "fake news" took on a whole new meaning and set of consequences following the 2016 U.S. presidential election. One of the biggest stories following the election was the chaos wrought by so called "fake news" articles and publications.
Today people often call it by another name, propaganda. Using widely distributed media that tells half-truths in order to influence public opinion has been going on since Darius I took the Persian throne in 515 BCE. In America it's been around since the days of yellow journalism and perhaps before.
The goal of propaganda and fake news is often to damage the reputation of a group, individual, or idea. By discrediting something, the party responsible for the distribution of lies gains power over the people who believe in these falsehoods. At the same time, the tarnished reputation serves to repulse supporters and diminish their ability to grow support.
Fake news versus propaganda
While propaganda purports half-truths, fake news is different in that it's usually patently false. Think tabloids with outrageous headlines -- "Oprah gains 600 pounds!" or "The Pope is charged with ten felonies."
Also of interest: How fake news and followers are created.
Seems ridiculous, right? Still, people are buying tabloids, clicking on fake news, and believing it all in the process. But how did this all start? And what are the effects of fake news today? Continue reading to find out.
Drinking a boy's blood for Passover?
Manipulating the public with falsehoods is a hallmark of certain institutions, and has been for a long while. In 1475, a priest, Bernardino da Feltre, circulated false stories through his sermons that the Jewish community of his city of residence had kidnapped a young boy. Da Feltre told his faithful church-goers that the Jewish perpetrators had taken the boy in order to kill him, drain his blood, and drink it in celebration of Passover.
Jews tortured due to fake news
When the outrage sparked flames, da Feltre claimed that the body had been found in the basement of a Jewish family. This was the tipping point for the Prince-Bishop of the city, who had the entire Jewish population gathered and tortured.
As a result, 15 people were found guilty and burned at the stake, and the church canonized the young boy as Saint Simon along with an attribution to hundreds of miracles. This catastrophe became so famous that the term "blood libel" was created to refer to the act of Jews falsely killing Christians.
This particular piece of fake news from 1475 worked so well that even today the Anti-Defamation League keeps a page on its website that serves to remind the public of the falsehoods of the blood libel story. Sadly, today, almost 600 years after the lies were made public, some people still hold belief in them.
Russia's involvement with fake news
When thinking about fake news, Russia may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, according to popular sources, as of 2019, Russia still actively and aggressively attempts to influence media around the world. The Russian government has gone as far as to claim they are in a global war with the media.
The state supported news channel, Russia Today, is a publication that openly pushes propaganda. The goal of the propaganda is to increase the Kremlin's global influence. If it weren't bad enough that a government operated a news channel with the goal of increasing that governments power, consider this -- Russia Today has been accused several times of spreading disinformation.
According to the Washington Post, the Russian government operates "thousands of botnets, teams of paid human "trolls," and networks of websites and social-media accounts that together constitute a sophisticated propaganda machine. The end result is a public distrust of media at large, which is exactly what the Kremlin wants.
The impact of falsehoods on reputation
Fake news can wreak havoc on a good reputation to a much higher degree than a few negative reviews for a businesses. One is generally honest, the other patently false. Additionally, people are more likely to believe sources that appear to be news.
Falsehoods tarnish your reputation, which can cause the following negative business impacts:
- Fewer qualified job seekers will want to work for your company
- People will lose trust in your business, which leads to...
- Lower revenues
- Higher marketing costs
- Greater risk
In late 2016, a conservative publication, the ConservativeTreeHouse, published a fake news story about Pepsi refusing to service Trump supporters. In the online age, inflammatory news spreads fast, and sentiment can be measured. One company, the Alva Group, measured the impact that the article had on Pepsi's reputation. The company reported that Pepsi's sentiment score dropped 35 percent below average because of the publication. Social media has the power to demonize people and companies. That's a huge impact on a company's reputation from a single article on some little-known site.
Real news isn't extinct yet
Reputation attacks like the example above happened during the 2016 election, as well. Economists speculate that while the media landscape isn't inundated with fake news stories, a striking level of fabricated news stories circulated during the election. That Russia helped Donald Trump win the election through the use of their propaganda war machine, as uncovered by several US intelligence agencies, further shows that the damage caused by fake news can be significant and even world changing.
Most recently the Dutch have vowed to hand-count votes due to fears of hacking by Russia or other state actors. French and German elections are reported to be under similar suspicion of hacking vulnerability. None of these countries wants to relive recent events in America.
Political activism or simple greed?
Fake news is the spread of patently false information under the guise of real news.
It's easy to believe people publish fake news due to political affiliation, but the truth might be different. It's been found that most people do it simply for profit. Google and other online advertisers have created an environment where fantastic stories are rewarded financially. The bigger the story, the more profit in the form of advertising revenue - never mind factual basis. This new environment of sensationalism and populism drives click-through-rates for advertisers.
Entire regions have capitalized on this system. Most notably, a small town in Macedonia named Veles. Veles is the home of at least one hundred fake news websites. When the owners of the sites were asked why they did it the answer was usually "profit." Pro-Trump supporters were rabidly clicking on items, truth mattered less than sensationalism. They were simply riding the wave of trending emotion and capitalizing on it.
Passionate People are Targets
Passionate people will click on most anything they agree with, especially if it's dramatic. If it supports their view, it'll often get click-love. People on the far right or left tend to be most susceptible to fabulists leveraging their online fury. Fury translates to clicks. Clicks to dollars, euros, and rubles. In the end, it's all about profit more than politics.
The political landscape in the United States and elsewhere may have been altered not so much by political actors, but by a seemingly benevolent system gone awry.

Despite the uncertainty in the skies, 25 of us made it to the Algonkian Parkway and Spurt's home, where he and Lezley had spent the early afternoon setting trail with flour, blue flour, chalk and an occasional squirt of spray paint in case everything else melted or washed away. The Mufti reminded us that there will be a big ole party (plus some irritating exercise-y stuff) at Byte Me! and Eat It Raw's home at 11:00am on New Year's Day. See you there!
|Our heroic hares answer the eternal question, "Where's the second check?"
But first... Spurt pointed to a big floury circle on his driveway, and we're off... in three different directions... which eventually resolved themselves to the correct one. The walkers wandered pathwards, well-bundled, while the runners slipped and skidded down the slick pavement. Spurt and Lezley sent them on a compact circle that didn't take much time but required the resolution to slop through woods full of both obvious and carefully-camouflaged puddles and rivulets and minor ponds flooded with ice water. So everyone made it back in less than an hour, but with sneakers full of slush and semi-frozen toes.
|You can see how avoiding the water hazard might be a skosh tricky.
Good thing there was a big pot of turkey chili on the stovetop, waiting for hungry hashers to dish up and decorate with cheese and sour cream and corn bread and salad and vegetable lasagna. Yum! There was also good beer in cans -- if someone gets up the nerve to add a comment (just click the "[No] Comments" link below, type away in the box that appears, then choose "Anonymous" from the 'Post As' drop-down menu, and hit "Publish"), you can confirm this and specify the type. Given my respiratory distress, I'm sticking with water for now.
The magnificent Mufti called the roll, with three hearty cheers for head chef Susan. No newcomers today; no significant injuries; plenty of witty repartee. Photos are available for those who like that sort of thing.

Since 1985, when CITIZEN first exhibited at BASELWORLD, we have continued to present extraordinary watches that symbolize the brand. Combining stunning advances in design with Eco-Drive that enables to keep on running wherever there is light, these watches have won worldwide acclaim. It is not too much to say that CITIZENs history at BASELWORLD is that of Eco-Drives evolution. Two years ago, we started presenting concept models to add in our BASELWORLD history. These models showcase the innovation and originality which can only be derived from Eco-Drive, and prove that we as a brand integrate state-of-the-art technology in a very unique form.
Eco-Drives evolution yet continues. I am convinced that, as an innovative brand with intelligence and passion, the CITIZEN brand and Eco-Drive future will be appreciated by people the world over. The boundless appeal of Eco-Drive, the fascination of Tokyo design, the uniqueness of the CITIZEN brand: you will find them all at BASELWORLD 2011.
Eco-Drive Is Designed for the Future
Eco-Drive is a proprietary CITIZEN technology that uses energy from light to drive the watchs movement. The history of its development began 35 years ago with a search for new sources of energy. This proves to have been successful and longed for in an ever more environmentally conscious world, as the future choice of an eco-friendly watch.
Rigorous research and development have produced watches that never stop under ordinary conditions of usage, watches sold worldwide to universal acclaim. Today, 80% of CITIZEN watches are equipped with Eco-Drive, and their state-of-the-art design has won the hearts of watch lovers around the world.
As we look to the future, we see Eco-Drive as the heart of new generations of watches, in which sophisticated design and highly accurate timekeeping technology are combined. In previous years, our latest advances have been displayed in, for example, our Eco-Drive DOME, Eco-Drive EYES, and Eco-Drive LOOP.
Powered by light, this new Eco-Drive watch receives signals from the sky to keep it exactly on time, wherever in the world it travels. The combination of CITIZENs next-generation watch technology and the near future flair of Tokyo design spells a watch to dream for. Please see for yourself this latest demonstration of Eco-Drives boundless potential.
Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE
Debuting in Autumn 2011
Time from Outer Space
For 2011, CITIZEN introduces Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE, a limited edition watch with a totally new timekeeping system. This next-generation timepiece searches for the closest of the 24 navigation satellites that orbit the earth. It captures the day, date and time signals the satellite emits from space, 20,000 kilometers above the earth. Since the satellite signals are controlled by atomic clocks, this watchs timekeeping is ultra precise. Each of the 24 navigation satellites orbits the earth once every twelve hours, so that this watch receives the signals from any open space, even in the boundless Western Pacific or atop the worlds highest peak.
The metal ring embedded in the glass bezel seems to float in outer space, like a satellite in planetary orbit. The round case, which appears to be independent of the lugs, suggests the image of the earth. These design elements resonate with the technological combination of light power and time/calendar data received from outer space to keep this watch on time, always. The spiral parts visible from the sides of the glass bezel are both a design motif, suggesting the radio waves that link this watch with outer space, and visible symbols of the light waves that provide Eco-Drive an inexhaustible source of energy. The three-dimensional forms on the watch face evoke the futuristic image of spaceship engines. 2011 will, thus, be the year in which time signals link wrist and outer space in an unprecedented experience. Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE will bring ultra-precise timekeeping to whatever human beings do, wherever they are on the face of the earth. It is purely powered by light.
