Processing biomass incorporates various types of materials like wood, wood pellets, grass, yard waste farm waste, and more. Because of this, biomass processing equipment is designed to handle specific processes, including vibratory screening, density separation, metering, or material drying. When the right biomass equipment is chosen, processes can be completed thoroughly and efficiently, cutting down on time and resources needed.
Handling biomass materials that vary in size, shape, density, and composition can be challenging. For example, separation systems that use wire mesh screens can be prone to jamming and bridging. When these problems occur, operations are interrupted and downtime must be taken to correct the issue. High-performance equipment like a vibratory separator can separate and classify materials like wood chips and mulch, avoiding problems like blinding, jamming, or trapping.
Biomass equipment should complete processing tasks efficiently, but moving materials from one process to another should be efficient, too. Faulty, undersized, or unreliable conveyors or feeders can disrupt the material flow and, in turn, interrupt production.
Customizable vibratory conveyors can handle the unique needs of any facility’s workload or layout. Equipment that combines multiple processes like an activator/feeder can also save time and production cost. An activator/feeder combines two vibratory feeders with one pile activator, improving flow control and avoiding problems such as bridging or off-center loading.
Consideration should be taken using water to make a density separation such as wood mulch from glass, metals, or stones. These technologies create environmental emissions and wastewater that challenge the sustainability of the process.
Water separation poses some hazards to the environment, when a greener, more efficient process can be used. Equipment like an air classifier that uses air instead of water to separate heavy materials from light materials eliminates that threat. Not only is this system more sustainable, but it reduces the time required for cleanup with water separation equipment.
We designed our rugged and reliable biomass equipment to handle the unique demands of biomass processing. With the right biomass processing equipment, resources spent on operations are reduced, while efficiency and production are improved.

BRATTLEBORO—The team behind the three-station police-fire facilities upgrades project estimates it has found $400,000 in savings.
The town Police-Fire Facilities Building Committee hosted a meeting last week to give the public an opportunity to ask questions about the $14.1 million project. About 20 people attended the presentation in the Selectboard Meeting Room at the Municipal Center on Feb. 27.
“I’ve been your watchdog on the budget up to date,” said Steve Horton, project manager on incorporating the oversight committee and town’s input.
“The priority being the best value for the money and the outcome being the safety and security for the people of Brattleboro,” he said about the scrutinizing the project budget.
Controversy has accompanied the police-fire facilities upgrade project. Bonding for the project has been blamed for a jump in the town’s property taxes for fiscal year 2015.
The town’s police station and two fire stations, however, have significant health and safety issues: black mold in the West Brattleboro fire station, and in the police station, which is in the Municipal Center.
Modern fire engines are too heavy for the floor and too big for the doors of the Central Fire Station, which also has air-quality issues.
The damp of the police station’s basement damages records.
The two largest cost savings have come through changes to the West Brattleboro fire station and police station plans.
The project team has recommended building a new West Brattleboro station, rather than renovating the existing station.
The project team also decided to build the Police Station addition to the Municipal Center without a basement, said Raymond A. Giolitto, architect with Northeast Collaborative Architects, which is based in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The new Station 2 will be constructed on property adjacent to the existing West Brattleboro fire station. The existing station is undersized, and renovating and expanding it would have required the costly relocation of a sewer tank and emergency generators.
According to Giolitto and Horton, the oversight committee has not decided whether to demolish the outdated West Brattleboro station or to put the building to new use. The exiting station will continue to house firefighters during construction.
Building a new Station 2 will save the project about $200,000.
Nancy Miller questioned whether having a station in West Brattleboro was prudent given the town’s tight finances.
“I have serious reservations whether we can afford all three sites,” said Miller.
Horton answered that before construction starts, the town will obtain from the contractor a guaranteed maximum price to help keep the project within budget.
Early plans for the Police Department renovations included renovations and expansion of the existing stone foundation of Municipal Center to the tune of $150,000 to $200,000, explained Horton.
“People think basements are cheap, but they’re not,” said Horton.
Phillips told the audience that the committee charged Interim Town Manager Patrick Moreland and Horton with evaluating alternative sites for the police station.
All the alternative sites proved more expensive than keeping the police station at the Municipal Center, said Phillips.
Giolitto and Horton also took questions on how the police station addition will affect the Municipal Center’s parking lot.
The town anticipates approximately 40 parking spaces, said Giolitto. The parking lot will also become one-way from Grove Street to Main Street for everything but police vehicles.
Horton told the audience that construction on all three building sites will occur simultaneously. The project team anticipates starting construction this summer. Of the three, the West Brattleboro station has the shortest construction schedule and will likely be completed this year. Central Station should be completed by the summer of 2015. The police station project has the longest timeline and should be completed the end of 2015.
The oversight committee has approved the plans for the three stations and will recommend the Selectboard approve the plans.

In just two weeks, the Extreme 40 racing machines will line-up on a brand new stadium racecourse in Florianópolis, Brazil where they will be joined by Brazilian sailing royalty Lars Grael at the forefront of the invitational entry, Team Brazil.
The team representing the home nation brings together some of the country's top multihull specialists who will complete the starting grid of eight Extreme 40s for the final Act of the year, from the 14-17 November at Act 8, presented by Land Rover.
Team Principal Lars Grael, a multiple Olympic medal winner and 10-times Tornado national champion, will manage the team alongside his 1988 Olympic bronze medal winning crew and Team Brazil skipper and helmsman Clínio de Freitas. The remaining four crew positions will be chosen after a series of selection trials commencing on the 2 November, where some of Brazil's finest multihull sailing talent will undertake a rigorous training programme to determine their positions on board.
André Mirsky, an experienced Tornado sailor, and Daniel Santiago, a four-times J24 world champion, both sailed with Team Brazil alongside the country's most successful ever Olympian Torben Grael at the 2012 Extreme Sailing Series final, and will be hoping their previous Extreme 40 experience will stand them in good stead. Local Florianópolis Tornado sailors Bruno di Bernardi and André Chang, a national champion, will both be using their knowledge of the local waters to the best of their ability throughout the trials to give them the edge.
Cláudia Swan, who represented Brazil at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games in the 470 and is campaigning in the Nacra 17 to sail on her home waters at Rio 2016 with husband and Team Brazil skipper Clínio de Freitas, will join a list of notorious female Extreme 40 sailors that has historically included double Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson, Olympic champion Anna Tunnicliffe and London 2012 silver medallist Hannah Mills if selected to sail with the team.
A seasoned professional, Team Principal, Lars Grael has clear goals and expectations for Team Brazil. "Everyone in this team has multihull experience and the fact they have all sailed together previously will put us in a good position. We do, however, need to be realistic. The Extreme Sailing Series is a circuit that is now in its seventh year and some of the best sailors in the world are going to arrive in Brazil with a full seasons racing under their belts. That will be tough for us but our aim is to honour our country and to show the world how talented our Brazilian sailors are."
Florianópolis has a reputation the world over as one of the most desirable surfing destinations on the planet, hosting over 80 international surfing competitions annually, including the ASP World Surfing Championships. The Extreme 40s will bring a whole new style of action to Florianópolis' famous beaches, racing on a stadium racecourse located in the heart of the city, giving the locals front row seats to all the action. Grael elaborated, "The format of the Extreme Sailing Series is geared toward the fans. The boats are very fast which requires expert handling and that all takes place right in front of the public. It is a great show for those watching and I am sure the public will come to see and support us."
With predominately northwest winds providing optimum sailing conditions in November, the city-centre stadium is sure to provide a spectacular venue for the 2013 Extreme Sailing Series grand finale, and with five teams in contention for a podium finish, it will go down to the wire.

Technology to Changes – We are certainly in the golden age of technological advancement. Humans have taken more technological strides forward in the past 100 years than they have in all the years of their existence before. Such rapid technological advancement has changed the world altogether. Human life has never been easier as it is now, you can travel from one side of the planet to the other in a matter of hours when it took months for the same during the start of the last century. You can take anyone you want from anywhere, face to face, with the help of the internet and smartphones. You can no longer just print words and pictures on paper, but can also print three-dimensional objects. And not to forget, recreational space travel is now a reality.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about all this is the innovation that is happening around the world right now. In a few years, all the things that make you go wow now will become so normal. Therefore, it is challenging to pinpoint what technology to changes that humans might use to change the world and how. Although, one can always guess. And a lot many experts have come up with the same guesses, two of them in fact – Artificial Intelligence and The Internet of Things.
Also Read – What is the Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Today’s World?
Experts have been split right down on the middle on how safe dabbling with artificial intelligence is, but one thing all experts agree on is the unlimited capacity it holds. In fact, the very fear of artificial intelligence comes from its untapped potential. While the intelligence of the human brain is undisputedly number one now, it may not be so in a few years. Years from now, artificial intelligence will be created that is as smart as an average human, and will probably not have the shortcomings that a brain does such as limited memory power or processing ability. And that day will be the true litmus test for this technology. All that is years into the future but artificial intelligence are already changing the world right now. For example – Google Assistant. It is a smart virtual assistant that is available on every smartphone. It can listen to voice commands; do actions such as call people, set up reminders, and a whole lot more. The best thing about it is a fact; it is getting smarter every day with the help of machine learning. Machine learning enables software to learn from its previous mistakes and correct itself, this process is perhaps the essential aspect of any intelligence, and the fact that software can already do that is mind-boggling.
Imagine your phone, TV, AC, Car, Washing Machine and just about every other electronic device you own connected to each other. Your phone can let your AC know that you are about to reach home, and your AC will turn itself on. Or your refrigerator can send you notifications when you are running low on particular groceries etc. It does not just stop there, every other electronic item could be connected to one single network called the Internet of Things, and this network could completely change the way humans live. A lot of the work that is now done manually would become automatic, saving you a lot of time and energy. IOT is not just about making your life easy; it would also revolutionize every industry and every other process that is being done by humans currently.
As you might have guessed, the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence have a close relationship with each other; these two technologies can change the world as no other technology to changes can. The future of the world is indeed bright.

Another thing that helps the situation is as it is is the simple fact that the salaries of people have remained stable in contrast to the value of the properties thus developing a gap between the purchasing power of a family and the options they could have to buy the house they have been looking for so much.
This does not mean that everything is as bad as it seems, on the contrary, several of the large real estate markets are in great shape and the movements that take place there are produced without any problem but you can not ignore a truth as alarming as it is that what a person earns throughout the year is not enough, so many buyers opt for loans in order to have what they need.
Analysts do not foresee a low price next, property inventories are still low because many owners are afraid to sell and can not get a new house, new buildings have been slowing down preventing the emergence of new opportunities, but fortunately The real estate market has managed to sustain itself and little by little overcome any inconvenience that appears.

Provides high speech quality as in noiseless channel as well as in noisy channel.
A "joint source-channel coding" solution on TWELP 1200 bps vocoder base and FEC 400 bps as UEP-RCPC (Unequal Error Protection Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution) code provides reliable protection of the bits strictly in accordance with their sensitivity to errors.
Speech Samples (WAV-files). A few independent experts listened TWELP 1600 bps Robust vocoder in comparison with MELPe 1200 bps vocoder, using method of preferences. Majority of experts preferred TWELP to MELPe, having noted much more natural human-sounding of voice in the TWELP vocoder.
We recomend to use the TWELP 1600 Robust vocoder and preferably Soft Decisions from a modem in noisy channels with BER > 0.1%.
In case you use the channels, where a majority of connections happen with better conditions, with BER < 0.1%, we recommend to use our regular TWELP 1600 bps vocoder (not Robust) that provides much better speech quality in good channels. You can compare the robustness of the vocoders on the diagramm below.
Please take into account that the TWELP 1600 Robust vocoder is shown in Hard Decision mode. In case "Soft Decisions" mode usage, the robustness will be much better.

Layered coconut yogurt and berry chia pots must be one of the prettiest things you could ever make. And so easy! The biggest challenge is knowing when to have one! For breakfast or dessert? Or – even better – pop the pudding into a jar and take it to work for lunch!
I used this easy homemade coconut yogurt but it would be just as delicious made with traditional cow's milk yogurt, goat milk yogurt or any other alternative yogurt you fancy. Why not try almond milk yogurt? There are no strict rules with chia puddings - substitute to suit your dietary preferences. This recipe is failsafe!
When I soak chia, I aim to sponge up as much lacto fermented probiotic goodness as possible. Consider adding the watery (whey) content that separates from yogurt instead of milk? In this case, I added the coconut water under my coconut cream yogurt instead of coconut milk. It is too good to discard!
No time for layers? You can skip the layers and make one pink pot instead. It will taste the same.
1. Combine the yoghurt, coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla and honey (or maple) in a bowl and stir to combine well.
2. Place the chia mixture in the fridge for anywhere between 1 hour and overnight. The chia seeds will expand and become soft and gelatinous.
3. If using frozen berries, allow the berries to defrost then blend with the cinnamon to form a smooth berry purée.
4. Divide the chia pudding mixture into 3 small bowls.
5. Add 1/3 of the berry purée to one bowl of chia pudding and stir to combine. Add the remaining two-thirds to the second bowl and keep one bowl a la natural.
6. Spoon layers of chia pudding into 2 jars.
Enjoy immediately or keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Around the House Attire - Be Smart!
The stay at home mom, the teenager on summer vacation, a businessman on his day off - what do you wear around the house? Your at-home outfit can actually have an impact on your emotions and your relaxation level. Whether you want to believe it or not, staying in your pajamas all day does not promote relaxation and tranquility at home. Keep these tips in mind when getting dressed in the morning.
No matter what, the first thing to keep in mind is comfort. Wearing that clubbing dress and a pair of heels all day is not going to make you feel good, no matter how pretty it is. At the end of the day, you'll feel stressed, your feet will probably hurt, and you're sure to have wrinkled that dress. The best thing to wear, especially if you're cleaning around the home or in need of running a few errands, is a comfortable pair of yoga pants or stretchy leggings and a t-shirt. This way, you can move around the house, feel comfortable while lounging, and still look put-together enough to run to the grocery store if necessary.
Jeans are another great alternative. While they're nowhere near as flexible as your favorite pair of sweatpants, a good-fitting pair of jeans should give you room to move, and still keep you comfortable while relaxing. Furthermore, they're great for any last-minute plans thrown at you. Wear a comfy t-shirt throughout the day, but change into a nicer top to go out. Since you're already half-way dressed, you will feel considerably less stressed if that really hot guy calls you for a dinner date, or if the guys ring you up for a night at the bar.
What you wear on your feet can totally change how you feel by the end of the day. Some people prefer not to wear shoes in their home. While it's perfectly fine to run around in your socks, it's better to give your soles a little support. Throw on your most worn-in and comfortable pair of sneakers. Slip into a pair of flats. Heels are definitely a no-no for around the house wear. Besides the aching in your poor feet, there's a chance of scuffing the hardwood. Flip-flops are even worse. Anyone who walks a mile in these horrible contraptions will tell you they're the worst things invented in the field of footwear. You're much better off going barefoot.
Despite all these great selections, always remember one thing when getting dressed for your day off: think comfortable and relaxed. Whatever you decide, make sure it makes you feel good, and leaves you feeling refreshed and energized for the next day, especially if you're back to work/school. There are many good options for clothes to wear around the house.

2. Introduction Jaguar is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover which is owned by the Indian company Tata Motors since 2008. Jaguar's business was founded under the name of Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing bodies for passenger cars. Under S. S. Cars Limited, the business was extended to complete cars. S. S. Cars was renamed as "Jaguar" in 1945. It merged with British Motor Corporation in 1966,and then in 1968 it merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland, itself to be nationalised in 1975.Jaguar was de-merged from British Leyland and then was acquired by Ford in 1990. Jaguar has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the British Prime Minister. Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres located at Coventry and Warwickshire, and are manufactured in Birmingham, The Company today employs over 10,000 employees. Segmentation, targeting and positioning strategies of the brand in the Indian market Jaguar has always been in a leading position.It continues to occupy in spite of occasionalbudget constraints,the position of being a product that provides ultimate customer satisfaction. The primary marketing objective of Jaguar has been to strengthen its brand equity and achieve retailing mileage out of that. Market segmentation involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers, or countries who have, or are perceived to have, common needs, interests, and priorities. Targeting refers to choosing only those segments which seem attractive to the company and the company has the capability to serve. Jaguar uses the following bases for segmenting the consumer market and has targeted these segments effectively by aiming at what customer from each of these segments look for. 1. Demographic Segmentation : Demographic segmentation divides the markets based on variables such as age, gender, family size, income, occupation, education, race and nationality. Jaguar has done this segmentation based on factor such as age, gender and income. Targeting: Jaguar came out with Jaguar S-type which was targeted at the younger customer base. The XE sports Sedan had a dual target, theyouth and women. Jaguar’s XFR, XJL Super sport and XKR-S models are basically targeted at confident, well-educated and intelligent individual who create businesses,technologies and lifestyles that have an impact on our culture.  The Jaguar XF series targeted the luxury car market (> Rs. 25 lakhs). This was for the high net worth individuals in India. Based on age, Jaguar has targeted the following groups, viz.
3. Successful professionals in the age group of 30-45 (singles and couples) Executive families in the 40-50 age range (2+ children) Aged individuals (couples aged above 50). 2. Psychographic Segmentation : Psychographic segmentation is done based on lifestyle and personality traits. Targeting: With commercials like “Captured: Jaguar at play”, Jaguar tried to attract the confident, powerful, independent individuals who love dynamism. The commercial used three of Jaguars sports cars, viz. Jaguar’s XFR, XJL Super sport and XKR-S models to inflict upon the viewers a sense of power and exhilaration when they sit behind the wheels.  Jaguar’s luxury car range are targeted at those consumers who are successful,aristocrat and have a status and lifestyle to maintain. Brand Positioning Positioning is a strategy that aims to make a brand occupy a distinct position, relative to the other competing brands in customer’s minds. The positioning strategy of Jaguar needs it to differentiate itself from its direct competitors, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes in terms of performance, dependability and styling. All of its competitors being in the luxury car brand range, Jaguar’s Point of Parity (PoP) lies in its constant appeal to the niche market of high net worth individuals in the country and, its launch of expensive sports cars. At the same time, Jaguar has managed to brand itself as truly different fromits competitors (PoD) by positioning the brand as animate – seductive, emotional, unique, energetic and high performance – while posing the question, “How alive are you?”The “Alive” campaign targets luxury consumers who are contemporary, sophisticated and daring, and have a desire for authentic, independent brands. It also appeals to a more youthful audience, while not alienating its current demographic. Jaguar then launched a rebranding campaign with a new logo and a revamped brand image. In an attempt to modernize the brand and appeal to a younger demographic, Jaguar introduced some elements into its logo design that looks more 3-dimensional and introduces a chrome gradient effect.
7.  The power of buyers in the luxury car industry is also quite fair. Customers have a significant amount of power, mainly due to the choice of large variety of luxury brands and product, and because of the presence of substitutes. Customers can choose from many different brands and car models, with widely differing performance, quality, appearance, pricing, additional features. This allows the customer to freely choose the product that best fits her preferences, status and lifestyle. The Internet has improved customers’ access to information about the characteristics of car models, and to the experience and reviews of past users and experts. That forces premium car makers to improve continuously quality in order to not fail to meet the high expectations of customers and also to not fall behind competitors’ innovations and improvements.  Once a customer has purchased a car, there are moderate switching costs to change to another, since the current car’s value will have to be reduced when it is sold in the used car market or returned to the car dealer. Brand loyalty in the luxury car segment is higher than for lower-end cars, since customers tend to develop a closer emotional relationship between their self-image and their car and brand (provided that the expectations are being met).  Another favorable factor for car companies is that the size of buyers and of their individual orders are small, since most of the customers buy only one car every some years, reducing the significance of the behavior of an individual customer.  The presence of many substitutes to luxury cars enhances significantly the bargaining power of potential customers. Customers likely become more cost conscious and switch to less glamorous but cheaper and more efficient “normal” cars and thus may choose to use any of a wide range of transportation devices instead of luxury cars. Threat of substitutes: medium-high  Luxury cars fulfill basically two needs for customers: provide a means of transportation, and assert the privileged status of their owner. The first need can be fulfilled by a variety of other products, such as other types of cars, motorbikes, bicycles, public transportation systems, planes. The most recognizable substitutes for the luxury cars from Jaguar are either cars rolled out by Audi, BMW and Mercedes -Benz or higher-end cars from ultra-luxury brands (Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini), or at the other end of the spectrum, less expensive cars from non-luxury brands (Ford, Toyota, General Motors, Fiat).  Higher-end brands can exert additional pressure by introducing some car models with lower-than-usual prices or special discounts to allure customers with lower incomes than their traditional customer base. At the same time, technological progress allows non-luxury car makers to include in their cars more and more of the features and amenities initially reserved to luxury cars (for instance driving-assisting systems and touch screens), forcing luxury brands to innovate at a fast pace to keep the appropriate level of differentiation and superiority.  Another major threat to car manufacturers’ sales is the presence of the used cars markets. Premium brands of motorbikes such as Ducati and Harley-Davidson could be considered suitable substitutes for luxury cars as both a transportation device and a status symbol.
8. Threat of new entrants: between low and medium  The luxury car industry is protected by significant barriers to entry and thus the threat of new entrants is relatively low. One of the most significant barriers comprises the brand equityenjoyed by most established brands. The repute of the brand is extremely important to customers; luxury brands such as Jaguar, Mercedes - Benz, BMW and Audi have a long and magnificent history to boast about, and the companies work hard to preserve the association between them and other symbols of individuality and of top-notch quality and performance.  Although several Asian companies have developed new luxury brands to compete with the traditional European and American brands, it is extremely difficult for challengers to match the prestige of brands with years of history.  Another challenging barrier to entry is the huge initial investment required to enter car markets in general. Large amounts of capital are required to set up manufacturing facilities and invest in R&D, among other large expenses. This also creates large sunk costs and makes it hard to achieve economies of scale. The capital requirements are one of the main reasons why new luxury brands have been produced by companies which were already present in the market as large car manufacturers (Toyota’s Lexus and Nissan’s Infiniti) and not by new, free-standing, companies.  Other protective factors include the high degree of product differentiation and of competition in the industry, which make it less attractive. Competition between established firms: high  Competitive rivalry in the luxury car segment is extremely high as Luxury car concentration in the industry is not very high in the advanced markets, and a variety of very different brands with different origins and tactics compete. The rivalry between companies is rather intense, especially with Jaguar in the Indian market mainly due to the presence of the three global leaders: Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. These three companies compete hard to attain not only market leadership in all the major markets, but also to be recognized as the top luxury brand in customers’ perception not only in India but every country across the world. The ascent of Jaguar from “outsider” to “significant challenger” to Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz has further contributed to make rivalry even harsher. Further to this, the competition has extended from the advanced markets to the emerging markets, where each company hopes get a privileged grip to take advantage of the future growth of middle classes.  Jaguar explicitly recognizes each of the three companies as competitors, and their public statements and advertising and promotional campaigns make provocative comparison between the cars as to performance and innovativeness. Technological innovation is one field of fierce competition, as each of the companies claimto be technological leader in the industry. Competition on pricing is also intensified.  In addition to the old competitions between market leaders, there are also challenges posed by the new luxury brands developed by the large successfulAsian car manufacturers such as Hyundai, Honda, Toyota and Nissan which are challenging the Western brands including Jaguar in their home markets by developing new brands and offering customers cars with lower prices and better fuel efficiency.
10. consumers have changed with the shift of consumer attitude towards from affordability to quality, pleasure and design which has suddenly accelerated business in luxury car segments.  Motivation and perception The brand Jaguar fulfils the esteem needs and Self-actualization needs in the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Jaguar’s Super luxury cars have become as the status symbol and a matter of esteem. Consumers of jaguar like to flaunt their cars as their prized possession. The frequent use of jaguar cars stimulates the perception of an “ultra luxury life” the consumers gain from their possession. Jaguar‘s “unique driving experience” is one of the consumer’s motivation factor. A Brand Awareness consumer centric campaign ALIVE was launched to tap on the Indian luxury car segments. The Brand awareness of jaguar was low when it came to India. So, company decided to launch a consumer- centric campaign – “How Alive are you?” to establish the “Jaguarness”of its products. Product Life Cycle GLOBAL TREND Swallow Sidecar company launched its first product ‘motorcycle sidecars’ in 1922. In the following years it started expanding its business by producing complete carsfor passengers. In 1931, the famous S.S models were launched and in 1935, the name Jaguar was adopted by the company and S.S model were renamed as S.S Jaguars.

Threat of substitutes : medium - high  Luxury cars fulfill basically two needs for customers : provide a means of transportation , and assert the privileged status of their owner . The first need can be fulfilled by a variety of other products , such as other types of cars , motorbikes , bicycles , public transportation systems , planes . The most recognizable substitutes for the luxury cars from Jaguar are either cars rolled out by Audi , BMW and Mercedes -Benz or higher - end cars from ultra - luxury brands ( Rolls Royce , Ferrari , Bentley , Lamborghini ) , or at the other end of the spectrum , less expensive cars from non - luxury brands ( Ford , Toyota , General Motors , Fiat ) .  Higher - end brands can exert additional pressure by introducing some car models with lower - than - usual prices or special discounts to allure customers with lower incomes than their traditional customer base . At the same time , technological progress allows non - luxury car makers to include in their cars more and more of the features and amenities initially reserved to luxury cars ( for instance driving - assisting systems and touch screens ) , forcing luxury brands to innovate at a fast pace to keep the appropriate level of differentiation and superiority .  Another major threat to car manufacturers ’ sales is the presence of the used cars markets . Premium brands of motorbikes such as Ducati and Harley - Davidson could be considered suitable substitutes for luxury cars as both a transportation device and a status symbol .
 8 . Threat of new entrants : between low and medium  The luxury car industry is protected by significant barriers to entry and thus the threat of new entrants is relatively low . One of the most significant barriers comprises the brand equityenjoyed by most established brands . The repute of the brand is extremely important to customers ; luxury brands such as Jaguar , Mercedes - Benz , BMW and Audi have a long and magnificent history to boast about , and the companies work hard to preserve the association between them and other symbols of individuality and of top - notch quality and performance .  Although several Asian companies have developed new luxury brands to compete with the traditional European and American brands , it is extremely difficult for challengers to match the prestige of brands with years of history .  Another challenging barrier to entry is the huge initial investment required to enter car markets in general . Large amounts of capital are required to set up manufacturing facilities and invest in R&D , among other large expenses . This also creates large sunk costs and makes it hard to achieve economies of scale . The capital requirements are one of the main reasons why new luxury brands have been produced by companies which were already present in the market as large car manufacturers ( Toyota ’s Lexus and Nissan ’s Infiniti ) and not by new , free - standing , companies .  Other protective factors include the high degree of product differentiation and of competition in the industry , which make it less attractive . Competition between established firms : high  Competitive rivalry in the luxury car segment is extremely high as Luxury car concentration in the industry is not very high in the advanced markets , and a variety of very different brands with different origins and tactics compete . The rivalry between companies is rather intense , especially with Jaguar in the Indian market mainly due to the presence of the three global leaders : Audi , BMW and Mercedes - Benz . These three companies compete hard to attain not only market leadership in all the major markets , but also to be recognized as the top luxury brand in customers ’ perception not only in India but every country across the world . The ascent of Jaguar from “ outsider ” to “ significant challenger ” to Audi , BMW and Mercedes Benz has further contributed to make rivalry even harsher . Further to this , the competition has extended from the advanced markets to the emerging markets , where each company hopes get a privileged grip to take advantage of the future growth of middle classes .  Jaguar explicitly recognizes each of the three companies as competitors , and their public statements and advertising and promotional campaigns make provocative comparison between the cars as to performance and innovativeness . Technological innovation is one field of fierce competition , as each of the companies claimto be technological leader in the industry . Competition on pricing is also intensified .  In addition to the old competitions between market leaders , there are also challenges posed by the new luxury brands developed by the large successfulAsian car manufacturers such as Hyundai , Honda , Toyota and Nissan which are challenging the Western brands including Jaguar in their home markets by developing new brands and offering customers cars with lower prices and better fuel efficiency .
 10 . consumers have changed with the shift of consumer attitude towards from affordability to quality , pleasure and design which has suddenly accelerated business in luxury car segments .  Motivation and perception The brand Jaguar fulfils the esteem needs and Self - actualization needs in the Maslow ’s Hierarchy of Needs . Jaguar ’s Super luxury cars have become as the status symbol and a matter of esteem . Consumers of jaguar like to flaunt their cars as their prized possession . The frequent use of jaguar cars stimulates the perception of an “ ultra luxury life ” the consumers gain from their possession . Jaguar‘s “ unique driving experience ” is one of the consumer ’s motivation factor . A Brand Awareness consumer centric campaign ALIVE was launched to tap on the Indian luxury car segments . The Brand awareness of jaguar was low when it came to India . So , company decided to launch a consumer- centric campaign – “ How Alive are you ? ” to establish the “ Jaguarness”of its products . Product Life Cycle GLOBAL TREND Swallow Sidecar company launched its first product ‘ motorcycle sidecars ’ in 1922 . In the following years it started expanding its business by producing complete carsfor passengers . In 1931 , the famous S.S models were launched and in 1935 , the name Jaguar was adopted by the company and S.S model were renamed as S.S Jaguars .

We introduce the course, state some expectations, check on your development environment and then install our plugin from a template.
We also add some notes about git, a very useful tool for developers and pretty much an essential for Moodle Developers.
The example plugin uses renderers to separate the output from the plugin logic as is good practice in any kind of development. We briefly re-visit the $PAGE and other output components and refactor our code to use simple permissions. We set up a couple of features: styles.css and a local class.
This week covers Moodle forms to an advanced level. We will briefly recap the material from the level 1 course before getting into the complexities associated with saving form data and upgrading a plugin by adding a new table. Finally we save some data to the table using a form, including dealing with an editor type form element.
We have some tidying up to do this week. We can now add one page but we need to be able to add more pages and navigate between them, edit pages and delete them. We will introduce a page management "console" similar to those you already see in Moodle for managing courses. All in all, another busy week.
We review the admin settings pages and test our plugin with multiple instances and roles, also re-visiting the database API. We take a look at reports and multi-page output. We spend some time thinking about security. A lighter week than last.
This weeks content covers three new programming APIs in Moodle that are built around automatic class loading and namespaces. They are: Tasks, Events and Logging.
Each of those does not involve writing a lot of code. But you should be familiar with namespaces and class loading. Tasks are straightforward in code, but are really a bit tricky to debug. I suggest you stick pretty close to the code given, to avoid having to track down bugs. Logging and events are two sides of the same coin, and by now you have probably seen them in Moodle code.
Have we finished out plugin, is it ever finished? Code checking and the plugins database. Some additions we might make to increase interactivity.
An extended task for you to attempt: Adding a comments section to the plugin. This will involve researching the comments API, upgrading the database, adding new capabilities, updating mod_form, and admin settings. Haere rā (farewell) from the course.
This area is used to enable successful MoodleBites for Developers Level 2 participants to access a Certificate of Completion, and download a Badge.

News Corp. announced that it has found a buyer for ailing social network Myspace. The network will be acquired by Specific Media, a digital media and advertising agency, for a rumored $35mil. The network was placed up for sale earlier this year by owner News Corp., which purchased the network in 2006 for approximately $580 million. As part of the deal, News Corp. has also taken a minority equity stake in Specific Media.
News Corporation's Australian division purchased a series of parenting blogs for an estimated $45m AU, which includes sites such as Birth.com.au and Kidspot.co.nz, Mums Say, and Baby and Kids Market. Kidspot was launched six years ago by founder Katie May, who is believed to still own roughly one-third of the business.

Spoil Engine. Or how to drop a bomb with style. This 5-piece metalband from Belgium/Holland started out in 2004, combining 90's metal influences such as Pantera, Machine head and Slipknot with postmodern heaviness and soundscapes. Over the years, they evolved to a broader, catchier and even more dynamic sound in the veins of Killswitch Engage, In Flames and BMTH.
Up 'till now, the band has recorded 3 full albums: 'Skinnerbox v.07 (2007)', 'Antimatter (2009)' and 'The Art of Imperfection (2012)'. With 'Antimatter', Spoil Engine became the first Belgian band in 20 years to sign with Roadrunner International, which led to appearances on national radio ('De Afrekening'), national television and larger venues/festivals such as Graspop (4x), Pukkelpop (2x), AB, Vorst Nationaal and Clubcircuit. They also directly supported bands such as Motörhead, Volbeat, Prong, Killswitch Engage and Arch Enemy only to name a few.
In 2015, the band adapted their line-up and switched to female vocalist Iris Goessens from Maastricht (NL). After releasing a first EP, they were signed by Arising Empire & Nuclear Blast. The new album ‘Stormsleeper’ is the launch of a re-invented band, pushing the limits in sonic bandwidth and energy, ready to conquer new goals. Expect a live explosion of tight metal madness, low end vibes, breast shaking solos and a headbanging smile above all!
