Mervyn King to be next BoE governor

Mervyn King is to be the next governor of the Bank of England.

The news was revealed as Gordon Brown announced his pre-budget report to the House of Commons at 3:30pm today. King will succeed current governor Sir Edward George in June 2003.

The announcement ends speculation that FSA chairman Howard Davies was next for the post, and accompanying rumours that CML director general Michael Coogan might step into Davies&#39 shoes.

Brown has downgraded his hopes for UK economic growth – admitting for the first time that it will not meet his forecasts.

Delivering his pre-Budget report to MPs, Mr Brown said growth this year would be 1.6%. He forecasts inflation at 2.25% next year, 2.5% in 2004

Extra borrowing is also on the cards in an attempt to counter the expected economic slowdown.

Brown added that consumption was forecast to rise by 2.25% in 2003, and that house price growth would slow.

The Chancellor began by saying the UK economy remained one of the fastest growing last year despite the worst world-wide economic slowdown for almost 30 years.

The pre-Budget report is one of the key moments of the economic year, as the chancellor sets out in advance his approach to the full Budget the following spring.

Clive Watkins, sales and marketing director at Derby-based Members Mortgages, says: “The inflation predictions seem entirely reasonable. A slowdown house in house price growth is inevitable, a 20% per annum rise is simply unsustainable. As long as prices keep rising a little I think everyone will be happy.”

Look out for more budget analysis online tomorrow and in the next issue of Mortgage Strategy magazine, out on Monday, December 2.

Last week I came clean.

Bank of England says rates may have bottomed

Gross mortgage lending falls 32%

Gross mortgage lending dropped to an estimated £9.1bn in January, making it the lowest January lending figure for 10 years.

Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders show that gross mortgage lending fell 32% in January from £13.4bn in December and dropped 21% from £11.5bn in January 2009.

The CML says that although a decline is to be expected between December and January, the £9.1bn gross lending figure is the lowest monthly total since February 2000 and the lowest January total since 2000.

The trade body says that the larger than average drop between December and January confirms its view that house purchase activity was boosted by borrowers trying to complete their purchase ahead of the end of the Stamp Duty holiday on December 31.
Paul Samter, economist at the CML, says: “We remain in a period of uncertainty for the housing market and economy at large.

“More recent developments have been influenced by the end of the Stamp Duty holiday, and are likely to foreshadow a larger than usual seasonal drop off in activity in the early part of this year.”

But he adds: “The Bank of England is likely to keep rates low which should continue to mitigate mortgage payment problems and help cushion borrowers from the worst of the recession.”

Brian Murphy, head of lending at Mortgage Advice Bureau, says that the January data is due to the time of year and the rush to beat the end of the Stamp Duty holiday and that overall mortgage availability is at a 12-month high.

He says: “This time last year the mortgage market was in a coma, but in the past three to four months a lot more products have become available, as lenders once again start fighting for market share.

“But while more competitive rates are starting to emerge at higher LTVs, you still need a faultless credit history if you are to secure a loan.”

End of liquidity scheme won’t lead to mortgage rate hike, says lender

Fears that the Bank of England’s decision not to extend its Special Liquidity Scheme will lead to increased mortgage rates are un-founded, says Linda Will, sales and marketing director at In The Loop Mortgages. Bank governor Mervyn King unveiled the Bank’s quarterly inflation report last week and ruled out extending the scheme, which is due […]

    Ok, but how about the fact we had the worst continuous spell of severe weather for 20 years… I’m trying to sell my home and didn’t have a single viewing in January. When the snow cleared I had 7 viewings in a week.

    Is everyone forgetting how the country ground to a halt with the snow? These figures don’t surprise me at all. Lets see how gross lending jumps back up in February shall we?

CBI calls for Govt to ‘supercharge’ housing schemes and introduce housing Isa

The Confederation of British Industry is calling on the Government to “supercharge” its housing schemes and introduce a dedicated Isa for housing deposits in the Budget.

Construction Building 480

In its Budget submission, published today, the CBI calls for NewBuy to be extended beyond new homes to help second steppers and those in negative equity.

In a letter to chancellor George Osborne it states: “The demand-side measures the Government has put in place over the past 18 months are beginning to work, by decreasing the rates on high loan to value mortgages.

“We think there is room to supercharge some of these short-term measures – for example by looking at extending NewBuy to second steppers with limited or negative equity, as well as establishing a new ‘deposit Isa’.”

The CBI says a housing Isa would be intended to be used exclusively to save for a deposit and have a tax-free limit equivalent to the average deposit. It argues it would help combat the perception that deposits are unaffordable for first-time buyers. It is also calling for more “proactive marketing” to combat a lack of awareness around NewBuy and FirstBuy schemes.

The Building Societies Association agrees that there is a lack of awareness around schemes and backs the creation of a dedicated housing deposit Isa. It also wants more “rationalised” schemes that are “clearly signposted” through a housing portal where consumers can get advice on their options for various schemes.

The BSA also wants the creation of a and cross-departmental minister of state for housing, possibly sitting in the Cabinet Office and responsible for a more ambitious and joined up approach to housing policy.

Berghaus Trail Chase - The chase was ON!!

The Chase was on during the weekend of the 16th & 17th of August in the North Yorkshire Moors....

in Trail Running / Ultra Running

The North Yorkshire Moors remind me of the American WereWolf in London. Classic funny horror film with 2 American actors, Jenny Agutter & a smattering of classic British actors to boot, like Rik Mayall in a cameo role, Brian Glover & John Woodvine as the doctor involved. So it was a great pleasure when Shane employed me to set/plan 3 trail running courses in the North Yorkshire Moors for the Berghaus Trail Chase. The American Werewolf in London has been etched in my mind & phrases like "beware the moon lads" & "keep to the road".

The Slaughtered Lamb!

I did actually find the Slaughtered Lamb, not sure if this is a tourist attraction since the film, or the actual pub... I think the former is more reasonable to believe. It's just on the edge of the moors, near Whitby.

Anyway, the film aside & into the real interest, the Berghaus Trail Chase (BTC). Thought up by Shane Ohly, MD & RD of Ourea Events. The idea behind the BTC is to give a stepping stone from trail racing into the world of mountain marathons. The BTC is built around a similar concept to the Great Lakeland 3Day Challenge, being that you race with only day kit & we the events organisers carry your overnight kit by van to the overnight campsite. The west side of the North Yorkshire Moors (NYM's) played host to the initial events centre, using the Osmotherley Show Ground just to the south of Osmotherley as the events centre.

I arrived on Wednesday 13th Aug to make sure the ports-loo's were in place at the events centre & the overnight camp at Chop Gate (pronounced Chop'Yat by the locals). Thursday brought my first mentally hard task of thinning out the bracken on day 1 of the black course.

At this point I should explain the events concept fully. The BTC has three course levels of difficulty, these are determined by distance & ascent. Like ski runs, they are BLUE for beginners, RED for experienced & BLACK for experts.

The distances/height gain are listed below:

  • Blue Course. Day One = 16.6km / 326m. Day Two = 10.1km / 291m. Total 26.7km / 617m
  • Red Course. Day One = 25.3km / 801m. Day Two = 17.4km / 582m. Total 42.7km / 1,383m
  • Black Course. Day One = 32.8km / 1,012m. Day Two = 21.3km / 814m. Total 54.1km / 1,826m

The idea is that everyone has the first days racing & the winner finishes in lets say 2 hours, then as you finish you take your time minus the leaders time & the difference is how long you start behind the leader the following day. So for example, if you finish in 2:10, then you start 10 minutes behind the leader for day 2 & you have 10 minutes to chase them down. If you cross the finish line first, then you win!! Simple really & it makes for very exciting racing. Plus, its not just about the winner, its about beating the person in front of you, so it really is a Trail Chase!

Day 1 starts were not located at the events centre, all competitors, whether on the Blue, Red or Black course were transported to different start locations so we could vary the distances, allowing 2 days of running without replicating the courses at all. Day 2 had the Red & Black courses start from the overnight camp at Chop'Yat whilst the Blue competitors were bussed, only just due to the narrow moorland roads, to a different start location, as the overnight camp was 16km at the shortest distance, where as the day 2 Blue course was only meant to be 10km.

Back to the course setting....

Thursday 14th August 2014

This year has been a mega growth year in the UK. Farmers have experienced almost double silage crops & the bracken has gone crazy in the Lakes, some of it being over 8ft high, so it stands to reason that the NYM's would be the same, and they were. My BLACK day 1 course was thwarted with bracken at the end of the course & this needed clearing. So off I went, slightly naively thinking it wouldn't be too bad to clear. I had a few 100 meter sections & one section of roughly 1000m to get through. The first sections went ok, that is until I hit the 1000m section. I had a hand scythe, supplied by Ourea Events. I set too cutting a track through the 8ft high bracken. Just for info, there was a sheep/human trod to follow, but unlike the Lakes, this area doesn't get frequent walking, so the path was completely overgrown. In total, this 1km section of bracken took me 5 hours!! I was out on the black course for over 8 hours & I only did about 10km that day. Suffice to say I was exhausted!.

A sea of Bracken!

Friday 15th August 2014

Today I had to complete the Black Course bracken cutting, as I'd not finished the day before, I got mental nobbled & had to call it a day. I set to early and was cutting bracken, reeds & thicket by 08:00, I was finished soon after, got back the van & headed back to the events centre. I'd done 8km running & grinding. Next job for the afternoon was to course check the Black Day 1, that was being signed by a local runner Ian Hodgeson. This was a 28km run on top of yesterday & this morning. Should be fine, but I was knackered already from Rab MM control marking & M24 course setting & collecting from a few weekends before. I walked a lot of the up hills & ran steady for the flats and downs.

Sun rising higher on Friday morning.

The day was pleasant, but as I was moving along I was getting phone calls from the volunteers course setting that some game keepers didn't know about the event. How was this? I had done my permissions work, but as the day progressed it became evident to me that land owners/agents are not the same estates as those who have the shooting rights!! Therefore they are different game keepers & not all the people I had spoken to, had passed the information onto the correct person. Therefore we were going to have problems. The next issue was how to manage these & make sure the event ran as smoothly as possible. Ads I was mulling this over, between conversations with game keepers I got to were the black course should have started its penultimate descent. Shock horror, I was confused, the markers were gone!! I was completely demoralised by this. I got the the end, spoke to a local farmer, got all the details of the game keepers & other local farmers & started ringing round to find out what had happened. Eventually I got to the bottom of it & sorted it out. All the game keepers & farmers I spoke to who didn't know about it & had removed course markings, once spoken to, were very pleasant & accepted the event. Real gentlemen!

And so the weekend went on slightly like this. We decided the best thing to to was prove the course (re-mark if necessary) 1 hour before the runners set off, thereby making sure the markings were in place. This worked a treat, but put a real strain on the marshal team.

Saturday 16th August 2014

Everything went smoothly & according to plan. I started the RED course off at Duncombe Park, a very grand stately home, built in the 18th century for the present owners.

Duncombe Park Hall, a very grand start!

Getting ready for the starters orders! Check out the transport in the background.

And they're off....

The runners had good, but often tough days. Some complaints about the courses, but this was very minor, lots of compliments on the courses & the markings. Lots of happy runners! The evenings entertainment was slightly downcast, the singer wasn't so jolly & jovial, but people love the beer & cider supplied by Whylam Brewery and the WILFS veggie sausage casserole went down a treat.

Sunday 17th August 2014

Again the courses were proved in the morning before the runners set off. This was a massive task & the marshal volunteers really did well,  one of them (Andrew Burton) had to re-sign the course after someone removed the flags as the race was in progress!! It was a weekend of mishaps & errors, but all was over come.

Everyone really enjoyed the chase aspect & a lot learnt that places aren't always gained by being the quicker runner, that sometimes your competition in front take the wrong course, even if it is well marked & that you can pick up places quite easily without even trying!!

See results here: Berghaus Trail Chase 2014 Results

We used sweep runners each day to clear up the course markings  & so for a change, both Shane & I, after very longs days & a pretty hectic weekend, we able to leave the events centre on the same day the race finished, having cleared up all the road safety signs. We only had the vans to unload on the Monday morning.

For 2015 and the future of the BTC ....

With all races, competitor feedback is ultra important. As if we don't know what you think, how can we improve anything?? A few comments about day 1 running on the BLACK & RED courses means there will be some tweeks. The BLUE start will most likely change. There are alway improvements to be made, and one major one for next year is to make sure that the game keepers all know what is happening & the event will move forward slightly, to keep outside of the Grouse Season, which starts on the 12th August every year.

The essence will be the same, the running WILL be great. We'll try to book the weather again, but ask the wind to stay away this time & of course you can guarantee this part... The CHASE WILL BE ON!!

Are you fast enough to catch the runner in front?? Get yourself entered to find out in 2015!

Starting the Blue course on the Chase, day 2.

Day 2 Red course runners charging past the Day 2 Blue start.

From MythTV Official Wiki
Revision as of 01:58, 15 January 2008 by Bernard S. Jansen (talk | contribs)

Jump to: navigation, search

Building for AAC Support

At the moment, instructions for AAC support are missing. Unfortunantly, all is not plain saling for that that simply want to install faad2 from source. There is a little trick or two - check this post [[1]]. Eventually, it would be nice to put some comprehensive instructions on it here.

--Damien 13:28, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, it looks like one of the libraries needed for AAC has moved to faac - so I tried to download 1.25 and compile. As it turns out, some of the files are in DOS line neding ("\\r\\n") rather than unix line endings ("\\n"), so after some trawling, it looks like:

 * [[2]] ; or

Run dos2unix on the following files:

 * bootstrap

OK, now, let's give this another go....

Usability concerns

Ok, this may sound like a n00b question, but I have to complain about MythMusic's terrible interface for creating playlists and managing the music library. Although I am an experience user (as evidenced by my ability to install & configure MythTV in the first place) I have yet to figure out how to create a playlist!

So, I come to the wiki to 'RTFM' and what do I find? Instructions telling me to "setup the playlist as you normally would." I shouldn't have to point out the inadequacy of this documentation.

Rather than complain further I propose a deal: As I lack the necessary skill to modify the user interface on MythMusic, and there does not seem to be a competing plugin, I offer to write the documentation in a clear and concise manner -- if someone will just explain it to me first!

I totally agree. I guess people actually using their mythtv box for listening to music don't use MythMusic, as it is kind of nonintuitive. Personally I plan to change to amarok or something. This is also one (of many) reasons why I don't really recommend MythTV to any of my friends, only hardcore Linux hackers (yes I know, it's only a 0.20 release at the moment).

I too would like to contribute somehow - here's my first suggestion: Why is the key "O" (letter o) used for the "stop" action as default? It's really counter-intuitive when using a remote control, as "O" in LiveTV is used for program info...

Enough complaining - I like MythTV very much, and would like to thank all developers for their efforts ;)

I will third that opinion. The interface is absolutely wretched. It needs to be taken out, shot and buried. It probably made sense to the programmer from the point of view of writing code but from the user end it's horrible. Take a look at xbmc it's much better.

The best thing I like about mythtv is its DVR capabilities and the built-in video player. The plugins generally leave much to be desired.

Once xbmc is ported to linux, it may be better just use mythtv as a backend via the xbmc myth plugin.

The article would benefit from providing information about what normalization MythMusic does / doesn't do, and what development plans exist around this. I intend to research and document this issue myself. If you would like to save me time, please add info/comments/links to articles here.... Bernard S. Jansen 07:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Mike, you added:

Thats it! now you can drag and drop album art to your mythmusic directory, or play the files remotely, or add and delete files all all streamed from your mythbox.

I've personally had problems with MythMusic not properly dealing with changes that I've made from remote access. This includes keeping deleted files in the music list, and not changing genre and album info from id3 tags, etc. Is there another step to make this work? Bernard S. Jansen 01:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Reviews of Dr. Mathew Kurian

Malay Sardar (Facebook)
My sister Millie Bannerji had come from Kolkata for her cataract surgery.
As we have very good past experience with the treatment and service of the Hospital,
we unhesitatingly went ahead and coordinated with the Counselor Meenakshi Ravi who as usual efficiently started the entire process beginning from appointment with Dr.Mathew Kurian and Patient Counselling.
We have no words to express regarding Dr.Mathew Kurian’s competence and expertise.
Earlier my sister was misguided regarding the lens for her cataract surgery.
Thanks to Dr.Mathew Kurian who in his own jovial manner explained all the details and suggested certain procedures to establish the suitability of the lens, not suggesting the use of the most expensive lens as it was not suitable for her medically.
This proves his and the Hospital’s non- commercial approach of their services.
Once again thanking Dr.K.Bhujang Shetty, Dr.Mathew Kurian, Ms.Meenakshi and the entire team including Mr.Vijay Kumar, Assistance Staff.
Sharan Arora h (Facebook)
Extremely supportive staff especially Dr Meenakshi , nice experience, would recommend everyone to visit as this is the best hospital . Thanks to Dr Mathew kurian for giving my eyes back and Meenakshi mam for all the support.

Senators Introduce Legislation To Fund National Park Centennial Initiative

A bipartisan coalition of five U.S. senators has introduced legislation that would enable the government to fully fund the Centennial Initiative proposed by the Bush administration in honor of the National Park Service's upcoming centennial in 2016.

In contrast to the president's proposal, however, this National Park Centennial Fund would provide at least $100 million annually to the Park Service from 2008 through 2016 -- up to a total of $1 billion -- without need for a private match. President Bush's proposal would have provided that full $100 million a year only if it were matched by private donations.

That said, the senators' legislation (attached below) does allow for private donations and also calls for a commemorative postage stamp to be sold to further raise funds for the parks.

The legislation introduced today was sponsored by U.S. Sens. Ken Salazar, D-CO, Susan Collins, R-ME, Max Baucus, D-MT, Jon Tester, D-MT, and Norm Coleman, R-MN.

"The centennial celebration will be an opportunity to resurrect the spirit that drove people like Enos Mills, one of the founders of Rocky Mountain National Park, to work tirelessly to protect our nation’s crown jewels for future generations," Sen. Salazar said in a floor speech. “'In years to come when I am asleep beneath the pines,' Mills proclaimed in 1909, 'thousands of families will find rest and hope in this park.'

"He was right," continued the senator. "Thanks to the excellent work of the Park Service and its employees over the past 90 years, the 3.2 million visitors that come to Rocky Mountain National Park each year experience the same wild lands and spectacular vistas that our ancestors enjoyed."

While Sen. Salazar congratulated Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne for proposing the Centennial Initiative during a visit to Yellowstone National Park in August 2006, and suggesting that the initiative be built around a partnership involving the federal government, private philanthropies, and other non-federal sources, the senator added that "the legislation offered by the administration to put the Centennial Challenge into action suffered from a number of deficiencies – namely, a lack of a spending offset and an unclear delineation of the public’s and Congress’ role in the program.

"There were also concerns about the bill’s effect on other Park Service accounts, friends groups, and existing philanthropic initiatives."

To resolve those murky details, the senators' legislation:

* Would provide $100 million annually from the federal treasury, offset by royalty revenues from off-shore oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico. According to Sen. Salazar, "In 2008, off-shore oil and gas lease sales have already generated more than $4 billion in revenue above Department of Interior projections.";

* Allows supporters of the parks "to match their contributions with federal dollars to carry out a program or a project at a national park unit, provided that the project or program is approved by the Park Service and Congress;"

* Encourages, but does not require, non-federal philanthropic participation for a project to be executed with federal money from the Centennial Fund. The legislation does dictate that centennial projects that have "committed non-federal support" be given "a higher priority" in receiving federal funding.

Additionally, the legislation would allow funds to be spent on land acquisition.

"To ensure that Congress has the opportunity to review and approve the proposed project list, the bill requires the Secretary of Interior to submit to Congress, as part of the president’s annual budget submission, a list of proposed Centennial projects," Sen. Salazar told his colleagues. "The yearly project lists are to be developed by the secretary with input from the public and national Park Service employees.

"...All projects must be consistent with Park Service policies and adopted park planning documents and be representative of the breadth of the national park system," he continued. "The bill also requires that project proposals fall into one of seven categories or ‘initiatives’ defined in the bill: Education, Diversity, Supporting Park Professionals, Environmental Leadership, Natural Resource Protection, Cultural Resource Protection, and Visitor Enjoyment and Health, and Construction. No more than 30% of the amounts available in the fund in any fiscal year may be spent on construction activities."

Additionally, the legislation directs that centennial funds not supplant regular Park Service appropriations and requires that "adequate permanent staffing levels must be maintained," said Sen. Salazar.

"Telegraph Fire" Having Minimal Impacts on Yosemite National Park

A wildfire burning west of Yosemite National Park has forced operations in the Yosemite Valley to run off of generators, and smoke is cutting visibility in some areas of the park. However, everything remains open in the park and all roads leading to it remain open.

The "Telegraph Fire" is burning across roughly 16,000 acres -- or 25 square miles -- about 30 miles west of Yosemite near Midpines, California. The blaze has forced PG&E to shut off the power lines that feed the Yosemite Valley. As a results, generators are keeping visitor services such as the Valley Visitor Center, lodging, restaurants, and stores open.

The power outage has had no impact on services and facilities in Tuolumne Meadows, Wawona, White Wolf, and other park destinations.

Yosemite visitors can expect some reduction in visibility and localized smoke in areas throughout the park. Those visitors with respiratory conditions should avoid smoky areas and vigorous activity where heavy smoke is present.

'Lazy Summer' photography competition at Polesden Lacey

A red admiral butteryfly sitting on some orange flowers

Summer is here and that means it’s time for Polesden Lacey’s annual photography competition. This year we’re asking you to send us your best shots on the theme ‘Lazy Summer’.

What does ‘Lazy Summer’ mean to you?

What do you love best about a lazy summer afternoon? Perhaps it’s something as simple as sitting in a deckchair, licking a scoop of rum and raisin before it melts in the sun. Could it be the drowsy sound of a bumblebee making its way from bloom to bloom laden with pollen? Or maybe it’s the feel of fresh green grass under bare feet, finally free from the boots they’ve worn all winter.
If you’re stuck for inspiration, we’d recommend a visit to Polesden Lacey, that way you’re certain to find your lazy summer inspiration.
The herbaceous borders in all their glory.
A view of the blooming herbaceous borders at Polesden Lacey looking onto the corner of the house.

How to enter

Each person is allowed to submit up to two entries to the ‘Lazy Summer’ photography competition.
You can submit your entries by following us on Facebook and posting your photos on our wall with the heading ‘Lazy Summer’ by Sunday 31 July 2016. Click here for our Facebook page.
For those who don’t use Facebook, you’re still more than welcome to enter by emailing your photos to camilla.morgan@nationaltrust.org.uk.

What do I win?

A panel of judges from the Polesden Lacey team will select ten finalist images and, of these, one person will be crowned Polesden Lacey ‘Photographer of the Year 2016’.
Our ten finalists, including the winner, will have their work enlarged and displayed in the grounds at Polesden Lacey as part of our autumn photography exhibition in September.
Each finalist will receive a beautiful commemorative prize, while the winner will receive our ‘Photographer of the Year 2016’ trophy, specially commissioned and designed by Jo Downs glass.

Young photographers

Last year two of our finalist entries were taken by photographers under the age of 18. We believe this goes to show that some of our young photographers are just as talented as those who’ve been capturing wonderful photographs for 40 years or more.
This is why we don’t have a separate competition for our younger competitors.

The importance of photo consent

This year we’re accepting photographs that depict people. However, we urge you to get permission for any individual who may appear in your entries.
If you are selected as a finalist, you will be asked to supply a model release form signed by any individual who appears in your winning entry. Please bear this in mind to avoid disappointment.

Terms and conditions

It's a good idea to read our terms and conditions before entering, to ensure that your entries meet the required standards for the competition. The article also contains more information about the process for finalists and winners.

Daughter Finds Mother Slain in Los Angeles Apartment - NBC 7 San Diego

The day’s top national and international news

Daughter Finds Mother Slain in Los Angeles Apartment

A day after her daughter found the woman stabbed to death in her apartment, police were still searching for the woman's killer.

    Relatives Mourn Slain Family Matriarch

    Relatives of Wanda Threadgill mourned the matriarch after her daughter found her stabbed to death inside her apartment. She realized something was wrong when she couldn't get a hold of her mother, a person she described as someone who saw the good in everyone. Gadi Schwartz reports for the NBC4 News on Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013. (Published Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013)

    Instead of planning Christmas festivities, Crystal Spradley is planning a funeral for her mother who was killed in her South Los Angeles apartment.

    Relatives and friends gathered Wednesday night at a makeshift memorial and vigil to remember her mother, Wanda Threadgill, the family matriarch.

    "All of these people are in pain, not just me," Spradley said at the vigil. "I'm mourning for my kids, I'm mourning for my sisters and brothers, I'm mourning for my whole family, because this is a loss that is just senseless."

    Spradley made the grim discovery of her mother's body wrapped in a sheet in the apartment at 11:20 a.m. Tuesday in the 9500 block of South Western Avenue.

    More from NBCLA.com| Download Our App

    Her mother had multiple stab wounds, but coroner's officials have not yet released the cause of death.

    The last time Spradley spoke to her mother was Dec. 3.

    "No child should have to go through this," Spradley said. "I should be planning Christmas parties with my mom, not what funeral home to go to."

    She knew something was wrong when she couldn't reach her on her birthday. She would have been 43.

    At first she thought she was just working hard and couldn't return calls.

    "We found out she hadn't been going to work," Spradley said. "She hadn't been calling her friends, so I feared the worst."

    Spradley fears the worst because of the company her mother kept.

    She let in homeless people into her apartment. She did it because she was once homeless and felt the need to help others, her daughter said.

    "She knows the struggles of being homeless," Spradley said.

    "Even the people that were harming her, she saw the good in them. She found the good in everybody, and this is what led to her demise."

    Spradley believes someone she took in killed her, but detectives have no leads.

    "What we do have is a crime scene with a lot of information," said Lt. Jeff Nolte of the Los Angeles Police Department. "We're trying to canvas the area, speak to witnesses in the area, look for video and put the pieces together."

    Spradley, meanwhile, urges people to come forward if they know anything about her mother's slaying.

    "Just help my momma," she said. "Help us get closure. The person who did this you know what you did. You know how you hurt us."

Breaking new social media ground

Part of:  Social media
Quizzical dog

We’ve been up and running a whole year, but in that year we’ve only had one social media channel. I'll be honest, Twitter hasn't been without its challenges. It was a big step to take, as any social media would be, for part of a security and intelligence organisation. It took a lot of discussion* to get Twitter off the ground. And yet, not long after we’d made ourselves comfortable on it, there we were starting to think about adding another social media network.

But where next? What new channels to explore? A scary prospect, but we’re usually up for a challenge. So out came my pad and pen and I began to plot our new course**.

Obviously, we weren't completely without clues. LinkedIn was consistently a high referrer for our content. You were talking about our work, sharing our guidance, referring peers to our latest alerts and advisories - all on our behalf - which is great! But we weren’t participating, we weren't even on there. When we launched we said that we would work together with government, businesses and individuals to make the UK the safest place online. Clearly, with so many of you already talking about cyber security on LinkedIn, it made sense for us to join you there.

So, here we are (a mere 9 months* later) and we’re getting into the swing of this whole thing. Here is our brand new LinkedIn Company Page! (warning: you will need an account)

Join us there. Let us know your thoughts. Where should we be heading next?

Customer Experience & Expectations

It’s hard not to get “soft” when we start talking about customer experience. We love data and driving decisions based on the customer, but the experience a customer has is many times hard to quantify. It goes into the emotional or relational realm, and two customers who spend the same amount of time in the store, buy the same item, and use the same clerk or Website, could have totally different experiences. How can we control this, or at least start to turn a more consistent experience out for our customers?

One really interesting point to talk about when it comes to customer experience, is expectation. In the example above, one of the big influences in that total customer experience is the expectation that customer has when he or she enters your store, or subscribes to your SAAS application. We don’t know the customer’s history with products in your category, affluence, personality, and a host of other pieces of information that are going to shape the customers experience.

Set expectations in marketing

One of the easiest ways to groom the customer experience is to set expectations for your customers in your marketing. Part of your USP, or value statements, should point to the overall experience of your brand or product. If it’s easy to use, or promotes a certain lifestyle, those points should be emphasized in your marketing to start to set the expectation. The marketing and advertising that got the customer to the front door should have key points on the customer experience they should expect, and you will deliver on if they choose to engage with you.

[STOP] If you are feeling overwhelmed with getting results from your marketing that you should be -> see the plan ››

Set expectations in store

Now the obvious pitfall here is you need to not only meet, but go beyond the expectations of your marketing in the delivery of your customer experience. If you are a simple-to-use time tracking application, it should be very easy to use, and also present a host of other benefits. If you are a retail outlet that focuses on an affluent lifestyle, your in-store experience should be inclusive in a chance for customers to live that lifestyle while they are in the store to the point of escapism.  Growing and setting expectations is a key power play of an advanced marketing department. Those who can really dictate a superior customer experience and set those expectations will rise to lead the market.

Additionally, this is a very fun and engaging marketing exercise, but one that can be measured as well. In retail environments, you can track sales by clerk, or by different stores with similar revenue to see which experience performs better. So even though we are creating emotional and relational experiences, we can still collect data to make sure it’s working overall to drive sales. We can build great loyalty and retention in our customers with the experience alone in many cases. And If you are not an experiential brand, you can still control the experience your customer has with you and your sales team. Taking control and setting expectations for customer experience is a win-win for everyone.

PARSONs x areaware announce winners

Carlos Ng’s Little Architect’s Toolset To Go Into Production

Little Architect's Toolset

Little Architect’s Toolset, by Carlos Ng, won the first Parsons+Areaware Design competition photo by Martin Seck

NEW YORK, May 16, 2014 – Parsons The New School for Design and Areaware, the Brooklyn-based producer of everyday objects, announced the winner of their first-ever collaborative design competition today at Wanted Design, the annual design show. The contest’s paramenters will simples: students were tasked to design objects with a sub-$30 price point that would fit in with Areaware’s existing line, and designate a charity to benefit from its sale.

Carlos Ng’s set of modular, magnetic architect’s tools, named Little Architect’s Toolset, was named the winner. The candy-colored wooden protractors and rulers will now be put into production by Areaware, and be available for purchase through their site. Ng will also receive a $1,000 advance on his royalties. A portion of eventual sales will go to Architecture for Humanity, a non-governmental organization that focuses on rebuilding areas which are affected from natural disasters or dilapidated building structures.

“The Little Architect Toolset was inspired by young architects who have a dream to one day design and build the world’s most amazing building,” wrote Ng in the product’s description. “Each of these tools comes apart into puzzle-like pieces, and are interchangeable to create brand new tools.”

In second place was Whan Choi’s Night Guardian Light, a wooden nightlight with a set of interchangeable leather “masks” that cover the light. There was a tie for third place: both Sam Falco’s bottle openers in the shape of laser-cut steel miniature axes, Bottleaxe, and Akita Sen’s playful wooden animal-shaped clothespins, Critter Clips, were honored.

“I’m so impressed with the quality of work these students did such a short time,” said the class’ principal instructor, Parsons professor Daniel Michalik. “Having a really clear mission from a great partner like Areaware really set them loose, and allowed them to devise simple, creative solutions.”

Areaware is a Williamsburg, Brooklyn based producer of everyday objects that are functional and unusual. Our goal is to create thoughtful products that inspire an emotional response. We like to think we have a good sense of humor and that our objects are poetic. We wish to create a forum for young and local talent and together become a strong voice for American design. We believe that appreciation for beauty is central to what it means to be alive and want to embody this principle in even the simplest things.

Parsons The New School for Design
is one of the leading institutions for art and design education in the world. Based in New York but active around the world, the school offers undergraduate and graduate programs in the full spectrum of art and design disciplines. Critical thinking and collaboration are at the heart of a Parsons education. Parsons graduates are leaders in their respective fields, with a shared commitment to creatively and critically addressing the complexities of life in the 21st century.

Online broker Pure Trade (www.puretrade.com) announced it will offer traders CFDs on more ASX equities than any other online broker. The news comes at a time when CFD trading is quickly gaining popularity among online traders, contributing 35% of ASX turnover in 2010.

Since the launch of CFDs (contracts for difference) in Australia in 2001, the market for the product has grown considerably with volumes estimated to account for 35% of ASX turnover in 2010. The latest entrant into the competitive online broker market, Pure Trade, announced that it would offer the popular derivative on all ASX equities – more than any other broker. “CFDs are the product of choice for many traders because they require a small amount of capital and have the potential to return significant gains” - in the words of a Pure Trade spokesperson.

CFDs enable purchasers to buy stock on margin, typically between 5% and 20%. This means for every 1 share bought, the purchaser receives the equivalent of 20 shares. If the share price goes up, the purchaser benefits as if they owned 20 shares and similarly, if the shares go down, the purchaser loses the equivalent loss on 20 shares. CFDs facilitate this process without the title to the shares ever actually changing hands i.e. the purchaser does not actually own the stock, only the right to the benefit or detriment from the changes in price. For this reason, it is possible to go long or short on a particular stock simply by buying or selling the associated CFD (www.puretrade.com/webiress).

The announcement from Pure Trade is evidence that this form of trading is growing rapidly. With the internet reaching an increasing number of homes around the world, it is astonishing just how accessible CFD trading has become. As the market continues to grow and gain momentum, it will be interesting to see what other innovations emerge from Pure Trade and other online brokers.

Opening of model-residence marks formal beginning of sales of The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Montreal - Quality, refinement, luxury and prestige in an opulent environment

           "The most expensive project ever undertaken in Montreal"

    MONTREAL, Oct. 2 /CNW Telbec/ - Combining the classic architecture of the
Ritz-Carlton Montreal with distinctly modern elegance, The Residences at the
Ritz-Carlton, Montreal will stand apart from all other projects of its kind
and will be the most expensive project ever undertaken in Montreal. The
opening of a model residence marks the official beginning of sales, a crucial
step in the hotel's $100-million transformation. Sotheby's International
Realty, a renowned real estate firm specializing in luxury properties, is
handling the sale of these incomparable residences.
    "Today, with the opening of our model residence, we are taking another
step toward in restoring the Grande Dame of Sherbrooke Street to its status as
one of the premier hotels in North America and as well as in the Montreal
community," said Andrew Torriani, president and general manager of the
Ritz-Carlton Montreal. "Several hundred people have already expressed
interest. Now it remains to be seen who will have the opportunity to make
their home at this unique address."

    Design features that meet owners' expectations

    The interiors of the residences had to reflect the majestic building.
"From the outset, we have put our trust in the talents and expertise of local
professionals," added Mr. Torriani. "Montreal designer Patty Xenos was a
natural choice for her sensitivity and her thorough understanding of what we
wanted to do. What she has created will make residents truly proud to live at
the Ritz-Carlton."
    "To meet the expectations of the future owners, we had to create a
sumptuous environment that offers luxury, refinement and prestige," said
Ms. Xenos. "We are dealing with a specific clientele that can tell the
difference and knows what real value is. They look for classic, timeless
quality coupled with sleek elegance, and steer clear of anything trendy. The
very concept of the transformation project is a combination of traditional and
contemporary design, so I had an opportunity to create something unique and
incomparable, since there's only one Ritz-Carlton Montreal."
    In designing the residences, Ms. Xenos relied on five basic principles:
1) drawing on the building's architectural details to create interior elements
that echo these features; 2) choosing noble, timeless materials whose
uniqueness and richness reflect a design that is both classic and
contemporary; 3) strategically selecting brands that correspond to the values
and needs of the target clientele; 4) allowing future owners to personalize
their residence; 5) respecting and even surpassing the Ritz-Carlton's

    The transformation moves forward

    The central focus of the project is the total renovation of the hotel to
meet the highest international standards for luxury and comfort for a
five-star hotel, as well as an expansion with the construction of prestige
residences. Once the transformation is complete, the hotel will have 130 rooms
and up to 50 residences.
    The interior demolition phase began in July. Construction of an
additional floor and the new wing should begin in the winter of 2009. The
hotel should welcome its first guests in late 2009, with the first owners
taking possession of their new home in early 2010.

    About the Ritz-Carlton Montreal

    Inaugurated in 1912, the Ritz-Carlton Montreal is located in the heart of
the Golden Square Mile, the neighbourhood that was home to Montreal's early
20th-century business elite. A symbol of refinement and elegance, the hotel
has welcomed some of the world's most notable heads of state, artists and
business people. Many leading 20th-century figures have stayed at the
Ritz-Carlton, including Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle,
Richard Nixon, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, George Bush Sr., the
Rolling Stones and Celine Dion, as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard
Burton, who celebrated their first marriage at the hotel.
    Since 2007, the Ritz-Carlton Montreal has been owned by a consortium
comprising Mirelis Financial Group, Torriani Group and Rolaco Group. It is
managed by Torriani Luxury Hotel Management Canada, a subsidiary of Monaco
Luxury Hotels and Resorts. Following the transformation, the Ritz-Carlton
Montreal will have 130 rooms and suites, and up to 50 residences.
