Why E-commerce Retailers Should Upgrade Their Magento 1 Store to Magento 2?

The well-known open-source E-commerce platform, originally developed by Varien Inc., has officially called off its support for Magento 1. While the older version was taken off the downloading sites November of last year, support will last until 2020.

If you are a retailer with an online store that was built with an older version of Magento, now is the time to upgrade your platform version to Magento 2.x. We know that you might be sneaking around from quite some time to understand what would happen if you stay on the older version and what type of benefits you would have from Magento 2 that were not available in the Magento 1.

Here are a few reasons why online retailers using Magento 1 should move to Magento 2 sooner rather than later.

Better Performance and Speed

Slower loading speed is one reason that has often led to higher bounce rates for old version users. Magento 2 has worked the indexer and order accepting part. The results are amazing.

Magento 2.x can now attend up to 117% more orders than Magento 1.x. It offers a faster and more accurate search at the user’s end. The main server is less likely to suffer overload, giving a smooth browsing experience to users and helping you retain more customers.

Separate Database

In Magento 1, users and merchants worked within a common database that was shared between the processes. The new Magento 2 has divided the database, preventing the system from overload. This feature has enhanced the performance of the entire system.

Improved Checkouts

Magento 1 was often criticized for its slow loading cart page. The previous system would reload the entire page, which negatively affected the performance. With a large number of products in the cart, the conditions were worse. Many users ended up quitting the cart without completing their order because of the lagging.

With the new Magento 2, the cart mounting time has been reduced. Thanks to the newly added Ajax “Add to cart”, Magento 2 loads the cart up to 3 seconds faster than before.

A Simplified Admin Interface

Magento 1 wasn’t as appealing due to its complex Admin Panel. Magento 2 comes with a simplified and user-friendly Admin Panel, making it easier to navigate. The Dashboard now sorts everything on the same screen:

Average order

Last orders

Lifetime Sales

Top searched items

Last searched item

The dashboard of Magento 2 makes it easier to navigate through various parts of the admin panel. Managing and creating products is also easier with the new Admin Panel. Tasks are now performed up to four times faster.

Less Expensive and Easy to Update

Updating new extensions and modules is easier and costs less in Magento 2 than it was in Magento 1. The previous version used to take hours for every update, even on the high-end professional systems.

The new version makes it easier to update with the usage of high-end technologies like HTML5, Require.JS, and CSS3 scripting. Magento 2 has also resolved the chances of conflicting extensions, which were common in the 1.x versions.

With a number of intelligent features and capabilities, Magento 2 is empowering ecommerce businesses with enhanced security, custom integrations, advertising and marketing automation, and comprehensive reporting. Plus, there are a plethora of benefits for retailers to manage and grow their online stores.

The migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is done with a Migration Tool and is carried out by a Magento solution development company. The migration relatively simple and the existing data is moved to the new platform in a stage-wise process. Upgrading to Magento 2 is a one-time effort, and retailers are aggressively making the move for long-term benefits and higher customer retention.

  1. It's fantastic and great fun to see what people used for this challenge. I bought this used Sony WX500 fixed zoom (30X) lens compact about 22 months ago on ebay for £133 plus postage. It has a 1/2.3 type Exmor R CMOS sensor and seems to be a cheaper version of the Sony HX90V minus the EVF, and I believe is missing some of that model's more sophisticated manual settings. It does have a flip-up LCD screen (not touch), which is useful for waist-level video and selfies. I shot the video using the XAVC S HD format at 25p which tops out at around 50mbps. You can also choose the same codec at 50p. AV
  2. If I can remove the risk of losing the camera then I'm happy to have my entry for the jury vote alone. Even if I did happen to win I wouldn't want to take the camera off the person who came last! It's going to be interesting to read when the cameras are revealed.
  3. Thank you ZEEK. I'm bound to not provide any hint of the camera used right now, but your comments are encouraging and appreciated. I can tell you that the camera I used can be quite cheaply bought used on ebay, and it will be interesting to read any reactions when it is revealed. Very nicely observed and filmed. It will be interesting to see what the set up is here.
  4. Thanks BTM-Pix. Yes surprisingly he seemed curious that he was being filmed! Thanks Kye. I had some fun creating this. Haha! Thanks Andrew,. Not a bad purchase. You can pick these cameras up for not much.
  5. Well, I haven't posted on EOSHD for ages, but when I saw this competition I thought that sounds fun. I dropped by on Bexhill-on-Sea on the South Coast yesterday on my way to somewhere else, and shot this footage over an hour or two. No grading, straight out of camera. Manual settings (although fairly limited choice that's all I'll say). Edited on my laptop this evening. I bought the used camera on ebay for £133. I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you're looking for Andrew. As long as I don't come last.
  6. If I was working for Sony on the A7S range my thinking is what are the essential attributes of the A7s series that could be improved upon to have a successful m3 version? First of all, low light. When the A7s was launched it was quality of the video in low light that blew everyone away and was a prime reason for people wanting to buy one, and that’s been retained in the A7SII. Whether Sony continue with a 12mp sensor or replace with a larger one, they won’t be able to go backwards and make it less capable in low light, as arguably it would no longer be an a7S series camera. IBIS introduc
  7. I've just bought a Sony RX10 (the first version of the RX range but with the XAVC S codec available) and I've been checking this forum to see if EOSHD Pro Color can be applied to this camera. I understand Pro Color can be used with the later RX10 II etc, but unless I've missed it the RX10 isn't mentioned. I'm not going to assume I can use it on the RX10 because the sensor on this first of the RX range is not quite the same as the later ones. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if it was applicable with maybe a tweak or two. Andrew, I would be very grateful if you would confirm the Pro Co

Too Many Chocolates- Mental Problems Linked to Acne in Teens

Visitors:0 | Today\\\\\'s Visitors: 0 | Total Visitors This week: 1072

OSLO – High intake of chocolate and potato chips along with mental health issues is linked to the development of zits, pimples, bumps and blemishes in young people, says a Norwegian study.

Researcher Jon Anders Halvorsen, University of Oslo, along with co-authors from Lhasa (Tibet) and Boston (US) looked into the possible causes of the common skin condition affecting millions of adolescents.

The team investigated the links between acne, diet and mental health issues in both males and females.

The researchers found a significant connection between acne and low intake of raw and fresh vegetables in girls, leading to probable indication that a low-glycemic index could have a protective role in the development of acne.

Dr. Halvorsen said: “Our study shows a possible link between diet and acne. However, when we introduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in our statistical model, the role of diet became less clear. On the other hand the association between acne and mental health problems was still strong when diet was introduced. This underscores mental health problems as an important aspect of young people’s acne”.

He concluded, “It is too early to give evidence based diet advice to teenagers with acne. Further studies are needed. Luckily, acne is rarely associated with serious morbidity. However, it does cause problems for a high number of young people. I hope that this study will encourage doctors to help adolescents to treat their acne and researchers to find preventive factors. Young people deserve better!”

The study has been published in the open access journal BMC Public Health.

The Immunity Herb – Echinacea Purpurea

Visitors:0 | Today\\\\\'s Visitors: 0 | Total Visitors This week: 1072

Echinacea is a mainstay in any holistic health kit of essential remedies. We have found nothing better than echinacea extract for treating the onset of a sore throat. Also, echinacea is especially beneficial if taken at the first signs of flu and cold symptoms rather than waiting until you are in the full-bloom of the nastys.  This healing herb is found to be a benefit to inflammatory distress.

Echinacea Purpurea, commonly known as the purple cone flower is extremely easy to grow.  Every part of the plant (roots, stems, folige, and blossom) have a medicinal use. All the parts of this plant can be used in teas and herbal remedies. The blossom is used in the making of flower essences. Because of its antibiotic properties one can incorporate the echinacea blossom in a special blend of flower essences used in healing practices of Exhaustion and Fatigue.

A web search on the keyword Echinacea will bring you a mother-load of links, (mostly markets for Echinacea products). We do not recommend or approve of using Echinacea on a daily basis.  Echinacea is nature’s antibiotic meant to boost your immune system. It is not intended to be taken as a constant. Our recommendation is to take Echinacea for a week to ten days. After a lapse of 5-6 days if your symptoms persist then take it for a second period of 7-10 days.

We prefer the liquid tinctures that are available at natural food stores. Echinacea is also available in capsule or tablet form for anyone who cannot tolerate the somewhat unpleasant taste of echinacea extract.

Note: Using echinacea as a treatment for for anyone with compromised immune systems, such as HIV/AIDS patients has become controversial among the healing community. Although some studies have suggested that echinacea may have beneficial effects for people with AIDS/HIV, further research on the subject is needed. If you have AIDS/HIV or are a caregiver for someone with AIDS/HIV, do not initiate echinacea therapy without consulting with a qualified health provider.

Making service smarter with cutting edge drill audit technology

July 3, 2020

No mining or construction operation can exist without maintenance, but it’s a tenuous balance to strike between keeping workers safe and machines in good shape, and getting the most out of every minute of uptime. For much of the industry, assessing the health of a machine still involves a technician inspecting it by hand for hours or days, taking notes by hand. Technology is providing companies innovative new avenues to optimize their operations, and how maintenance and service is performed is no exception to this trend.

Staying both safe and productive

As markets grow more competitive and margins narrow, the pressure to squeeze every available working minute out of a piece of equipment can be intense. The costly and time consuming effort of manual equipment audits makes routine, preventative maintenance a difficult proposition. Companies can find themselves in the unenviable position of being pulled between risking a critical parts failure and missing critical productivity goals.

RigScan from Epiroc leverages technology both emerging and mature to make the equipment audit process faster, less intrusive, and more comprehensive. Thermal cameras can find early signs of wear or part stress invisible to the human eye, and unseen internal leaks. These high tech tools provide the technician with a much more detailed view of the machine’s health.

This new access to high fidelity data is managed digitally through a tablet which ensures that no parts are missed during the audit. The benefits of computerization continues once the audit is completed, as the results are processed and analyzed against manufacturer specifications to ensure that any issues, large or small, are brought to the owner’s attention within 72 hours. Special emphasis is placed on safety as well. Any issues that may lead to potential safety hazards are brought to the operator’s attention before the technician leaves the site.

RigScan audit using thermal imaging camera

Smarter service makes for smarter business

While a RigScan audit is undoubtedly a step up from traditional audits as a one-off maintenance check, the benefits are only amplified by performing them on a regular basis. RigScan audits can be performed routinely with minimal impact on a machine’s uptime thanks to the quick turnaround time. Over time, this data will create a comprehensive picture of a machine’s health that can be used to optimize multiple aspects of the maintenance process.

First and foremost, costly unplanned repairs can be avoided, and well maintained equipment simply lasts longer. Regular audits provide useful insights on when, how, and why parts are wearing out, creating opportunities to find subtle inefficiencies that might otherwise go unnoticed. Having additional confidence in the health of equipment allows for more precise budgeting as well. Money that would have otherwise been set aside in anticipation of unforeseen maintenance costs can now be put to better use elsewhere.

Looking forward, the technology that supports the RigScan concept continues to evolve. As machines become more automated themselves, so too will their service protocols. Future equipment will be able to monitor and report issues on its own, letting owners know when a closer look is needed, and provide service technicians with an even greater breadth of data to use in planning maintenance.

If you would like to know more about how your equipment can maintain a higher standard of health, safety, and productivity, please see further information about RigScan here.

Brain Health: No Negative Thoughts

Stop negative thoughts.

Each time a negative thought comes up, stop it and move on. No need to replace with a positive thought – that’s too much work. No need to replace it with anything. Move on to something else. Think a negative thought? Stop and move on.

Why? Because one negative thought leads to two, and that leads to a story. This is what happens when you have one negative thought. You have a second thought, and the third negative thought builds a story. And, this is always a bad story with an ending that causes frustration, depression, anger, and rage. This is the basis for the adage: think about it, say it, act it, and it becomes your character. Think negative thoughts, use negative talk, act on negative talk, and you become a negative person. Additional traits of this character include complaining, criticizing, blaming others, and making excuses.

Rejections. Have you ever had a major rejection or a series of rejections? You’ve submitted proposals, loan applications, college applications, or funding plans for a project or startup; and you’ve received two, five, ten, twenty or more rejections? We are told that rejections are part of life and part of success. The first few are ignored, but eventually you begin to think about these rejections. You tell yourself you’re a failure, you’re not smart enough, and everyone else is better than you. These negative thoughts begin to repeat themselves incessantly until you convince yourself you’re a failure at everything and the world is out to get you. These negative thoughts go on and on day after day. You become irritable and depressed. You become angry and rage at your family and friends. You don’t want to be around people because you’re so upset; likewise, people don’t want to be around you because you’re negative and depressed. All of this started from a single negative thought.

Other situations. You’ve been chewed out at work. You’ve been fired. You’ve been turned down for a job. You don’t get a promotion. A negative thought pops in your head, do not replay the scene. You have an illness or an injury? Stop all negative thoughts about these. You got a parking ticket? You’ve been criticized? Do not replay these scenes in your mind. Move on to something else.

Solution. Stop the negative thought and this is what happens. You have an instant feeling of relief. Your whole body is relieved because you don’t have to relive the long depressing story again. Over time, the story will disappear from your memory. You free your mind to be healthy, more creative, and to lead an enjoyable life.

Call to action. Negative thoughts? Stop them and move on. Stop thinking negative thoughts for a healthy mind.

Just when you thought the world had finally settled down to play some good old-fashioned Test cricket to stadiums packed with seats, controversy has struck the game again.

The India-England tour started spectacularly, with a pulsating first Test at Lord's, the "Previous Home of Cricket", attended by several Indian and English cricketing greats, and Sharad Pawar, the "Current Home of Cricket".

Despite being saddled with adverse factors such as numerous injuries, exhaustion, a cramped schedule, lack of pace-bowling culture, adverse English weather, Matt Prior, the unstable US economy, strengthening Swiss franc, endemic corruption, and N Srinivasan, the Indians managed to put up a valiant fight before succumbing to the relentless onslaught of English commentary.

Expectations were high as both teams moved to Trent Bridge, the "Reserved Parking Space of Cricket", for the second Test. Alas, instead of a rousing festival of cricket, fans got to see a steady stream of controversy.

First, VVS Laxman was accused of trying to trick the infra-red nick-detection technology. Now on the face of it "applying Vaseline to your bat in order to avoid Hot Spot problems" seems like something you or I would do on a Saturday afternoon with the curtains drawn and some Peter Gabriel playing on the CD player. But when you remove the quotes and read it without innuendo, you realise it is tantamount to accusing Laxman of cheating.

Chaos ensued. The white t-shirt of rage came off the torso of Indian restraint and was twirled frantically from the balcony of Indian public opinion.

However, things settled down when it emerged that Laxman had done no such thing. Authorities also clarified that it was, in fact, completely legal to apply several substances on one's cricket bat, including but not limited to Vaseline, extra sambhar, trans-fat-free chunky peanut butter, avial (without Adai), and Spanish omlette (day-night matches only).

And then the great Ian Bell Controversy of 2011 happened.

The details are now already part of cricketing lore. Suffice to say that Indian sportsmanship rescued England from a moment of extreme na vete.

However, I was amused when Andy Flower later defended what happened during that tea break, when England asked Dhoni to consider calling Bell back. Flower said that if the same thing had happened to Tendulkar in Mumbai, it would have become an "international incident".

What nonsense is this, Flower? What a comparison of ridiculous proportions! Bell is no Mumbai and Tendulkar is not at all comparable to a Trent Bridge.

More bizarrely, is this going to be the new metric when it comes to cricketing decisions? Whenever there is a controversy or a dispute, are concerned parties like players, umpires, referees and sponsors supposed to first think: "What if this happened to Tendulkar at the Wankhede?"

I don't know about you, but for me this seems like a ridiculous standard to use in a team sport that involves many, many countries and several dozens of players. How can everything boil down to one man? So far poor (metaphorically speaking) Tendulkar has only been carrying the expectations of a billion Indians. Now he has to worry about everybody else as well?

Let me show you why this is a problem. Below I give three hypothetical situations where the Tendulkar-Mumbai (T-M) Method could lead to controversy. What would you do in these tricky situations?

1. Laxman, on 99, is batting at Edgbaston, the "Guest Bedroom of Cricket". He plays a straight drive but nicks it to the keeper. The ball bounces off the keeper's glove, onto Laxman's back and back to the keeper who takes the catch. Should the keeper appeal or let it go?

Regular answer: Appeal.
T-M Method: Let it go. Tendulkar would never miss a straight drive. Issue of nicking does not arise.

2. Kevin Pietersen is in an aggressive mood while batting at The Oval, the "Hidden-Closet-with-Videotaping-Equipment-Attached-to-the-Guest Bedroom of Cricket" when he thwacks the ball straight to the man at silly point. The ball instantly kills the fielder, loops into the air, and then falls back to rest on the chest of the dead man. What should the fielding captain do?

Regular answer: Appeal for a catch without too much excitement as a mark of respect to the dead man.
T-M Method: Let it go. Silly point for Tendulkar? Mad or what?

3. It is the World Cup final at Headingley, the "Secret Basement Home Theatre Room of Cricket", and Sri Lanka are playing Australia. Lasith Malinga runs up to bowl. Moments before he lets go of the ball, he slips on something. This drastically changes the direction, velocity and swing of the ball. Michael Clarke is clean-bowled. Should Sri Lanka appeal?

Regular answer: Of course. Irregular bowling is a Sri Lankan tradition.
T-M Method: Invalid question. India have played in every single World Cup final at the Wankhede. This scenario is meaningless.

As you can see, the Tendulkar-Mumbai method is utterly useless in several conditions. Flower should retract his words immediately. This series needs to move on to its inevitable 2-2 conclusion.

Ekleng, the Ifugao Village That is About to be Swarmed by Avengers Fans

Bet you didn't notice the terraces in the film.
IMAGE IndoChina Productions

The production staff of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho promptly visited Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao when news broke out about the use of the locale in the final scene of the blockbuster movie Avengers: Infinity War.

Tour guide Romy Licyayo helped the production crew of Kapuso reach Ekleng Village, the exact location used in the movie.

Licyayo also took care of the staff of Indochina Productions, the Asian partner of Marvel Studios that was tasked to go to Banaue to film the footage of Ekleng Village. According to Licyayo, the representatives of Indochina Productions did not tell him that the shoot was for a big Hollywood project.

Meanwhile, the staff of Kapuso forgot to ask Licyayo about the exact date when the crew of Indochina Productions visited Banaue last year.

Because of the publicity about the place that Thanos, the lead villain of Infinity War, visited in the movie, the residents of Ekleng Village are preparing for the arrival of tourists who would like to visit and see the location.

With a working title of Mary Lou, the principal photography of Avengers: Infinity War started on January 23, 2017 and ended on July 14, 2017.

Uncle Sam vs Blighty - Two countries separated by a common language

The Atlantic Ocean is a vast space – some 4,000 miles eastwards across from the USA until land is met again. 4,000 miles sounds a lot because it is.

And so it is that not only are we detached from our American cousins by a chasmic seascape, but also by a big difference in our property sectors – two countries separated by a common language but also separated by a common industry.

I’ve been involved in estate agency since I was a kid. My dad and my uncles were estate agents as was their father too. I grew up listening to daily management meetings going on around my grandparents’ breakfast table and with frequent visits to the family’s offices across Essex whereby I can still smell the freshly opened boxes of paper and the copier toner.

My dad’s secretary used to tickle my tummy (when I was young mind) until one day she retired, replaced by a new younger version that he promptly married (that’s for another blog, another time). So, you see, estate agency is literally in the family.

My first job in agency was in 1984 at 16 years old and it was where I cut my teeth on the twice weekly send-out, wrestling with folding and franking machines, as did my then manager who would shout ‘tea!’ at what seemed like ever more frequent intervals.

Since graduating from the backroom, I have co-founded, run and grown traditional and online estate agency businesses.

I’ve built houses, launched property recruitment firms, set up innovative lettings start-ups and sold many of them on. I’ve been elected to council and chaired planning committees and formed land asset strategies.

I’ve advised public authorities on housing and helped to write the Housing for London policy for the Conservative candidate for London Mayor.

As part of my involvement as an investor and director at Keller Williams Plus, I even keep my hand in and list and sell a handful of homes here and there in order to lead by example.

I’m no stranger either to regular radio show punditry on the subject of property.

In other words, I know it all. I don’t need to learn anything new because I’m knee deep in property experience more than most. Except I’m kidding, because for anyone to really believe that of themselves would be quite delusional.

And so, it became evident to me this month when I visited Dallas for the 2020 Keller Williams ‘Family Reunion’. In part, a jovial, social get-together of 20,000 Keller agents (a mere 10% of the total) from around the world but, in the main, a focused, inspirational conference, highlighting the performance of the Keller Williams organisation, its vision, its technological superiority and above all its culture.

For five days, Gary Keller and his leadership team extolled the virtues of the business and spent time saying thank you to the assembled delegates for making Keller Williams the number one real estate business on the planet, one of the top five places for women to work in the world (Forbes), the top training company anywhere (Training Magazine) and a recognised best in class technology innovator as voted by Inman and Fast Company.

It’s hard to overstate the atmosphere at this event. 20,000 people in one place all working under the same brand is more rock gig than real estate conference, and that’s particularly evident when Gary Keller himself walks on stage and is greeted by cheers and multiple standing ovations from an admiring and, I might say, grateful audience. This is because Gary, in his 40 or so years at the helm, has shaped and changed lives.

There are 10,000 millionaires amongst the 192,000 Keller agents worldwide.  And it’s rumoured that he has recently turned down an offer of $2bn for the company that he founded and of which he still owns over 90%. For context, Keller Williams sold 1.04 million properties in 2019. That’s 2850 a day.

Until it arrived on our shores, did we have anything like the scale and grandiose of a Keller Williams in the UK? Well, perhaps we once sort-of did, relatively speaking, in Countrywide during its 1990s halcyon days.

And we could have had in Purplebricks if the public hadn’t called a market share ceiling on its cheap fees and fragmented service, rendering it paralysed and at nowhere near the 10% share that its new CEO is so desperate for.

The US approach to real estate is bigger and louder than ours. You could say that this is purely because their population is four times bigger and their percentage fees are higher, yet you’d be missing  that many of these agents are doing much lower volumes than a UK branch and in markets that have average house prices of less than $200,000.

Forget the excuse of ‘different’ unit economics for a minute because, regardless, the US property sector puts us to shame. It’s not all just flashing lights and loud music and stage shows, it’s simply much better than ours and here’s why…

Americans look upon real estate agents as professionals, up there with lawyers, doctors and fund managers. They are admired and respected and not just because they earn a lot but because they do a great job.

I’d say, those two things are linked in that they do a great job because they earn a lot and they earn a lot because they do a great job – it’s entirely complementary. And they are licensed and that helps keep standards high. So, roll on the UK government’s decision to do the same here.

But what I noticed overall in chatting to real life realtors in queues, over breakfast and in bars is that they are a) dedicated, b) tireless in delivering 24/7 service, c) relentless in their thirst for learning and training and d) absorbing of anything that gives them an edge.

Here’s a few examples of how the Yanks beat us hands down:

• The coaching and training industry within the real estate space is massive. One leading performance coach I spoke to told me that his company alone had annual revenues of $300 million. And here’s a stat for you – those agents that have a coach, bank 18% more in fees than those that don’t.

• Lead generation is a big thing. I counted a dozen or so stands at the event representing firms that make their living from providing listing leads. It’s such a big thing that Keller Williams has invested millions of dollars in Command Campaign, a platform that builds social media ads, manages them and then nurtures output to maximise opportunities, all at just $2 a pop. Just try asking Google or Rightmove for leads at such rates.

• Referrals are big. Much of the lunch-line conversation is a bustle of agents liaising with each other to pass sellers and buyers to one another across each other’s territories. If you have a seller that’s buying somewhere else, or a buyer selling somewhere else, they collaborate and earn with (not from) each other. Fee splits are normal. Working together is too.

• Open houses with multiple pavement signs and ads are a standard fixture for all listings. What’s the point? Well, it’s not just to sell the home itself (you’ll have to dive a bit deeper into this for me to tell you more).

• Personal brand is something that we simply do not do in the UK, relying instead on either a faded shop front to bring people in or on increasingly expensive paid media. The Americans really, really understand the importance of promoting the individual as the agent, their expertise and their localism.

• The US industry is about building client relationships. Not just transactions. This should be obvious but in Blighty, it doesn’t seem so whereby the latter is focused upon and not the former.

• It’s undignified to talk about how much someone earns, unless that is you’re a US realtor whereby your annual GCI (Gross Commissionable Income) from which personal earnings are derived, is worn as an indicator of prowess – a badge of honour, if you will. It’s astonishing to chat to a broker for five minutes and for them to impart their GCI, their personal earnings, the amount of people in their database and their conversion metrics equated as MAs to listings and listings to completions. They know their numbers because they live by their numbers and improve because of them. To put this all into context, I spoke to Kyle from Albuquerque who earned $350,000 personally last year and Justine, a Brit in Oakland, California, who earned $750,000 last year. Yet they are of the same flesh and blood as you and I. The big difference apart from the resources that I am listing here: their mindset is simply bigger, more positive and more open-minded.

• Of course, they’re all self-employed. Because that’s how it is and because of the freedom and agility it gives them. It doesn’t faze them one bit.

It is a different world. An eye-opener for sure and it’s evident that in the UK we are, by comparison, backward. We are leaving stacks of cash on the table as a consequence of our apathy, our unwillingness to work harder and our inability to learn. Our limiting beliefs define and restrict us.

The 4,000 miles of ocean analogy? When the Americans want to cross it, they jump on a plane and do it in a few hours with their feet up in first class, champagne in hand. By comparison, we’re still using a sextant and the sun to navigate the Mary Rose to our destination because ‘that’s the way we’ve always done it’. The contrast in execution is astonishing and as is the earnings gap too, funnily enough.

You have to see it to believe it and, as it happens, next February’s Keller Williams worldwide event is in Las Vegas. If you want your eyes truly opened and your career horizon set somewhat higher than now, why don’t you come with me? It’s a bigger education than you’ll ever get from where you’re stuck right now.

Wrinkles and fine lines

Pre-Treatment Toner

  • Category: Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Brand: HydroPeptide
  • Skin Types: All Skin Types
€29,00(excl. VAT)

Science has proven that peptides can help manage wrinkles in your skin and reverse the signs of ageing. When collagen is depleted by ageing and by environmental factors it is not fully replaced. As collagen deteriorates however, it produces certain peptides and research has shown that these peptides send a signal to the dermis to make it produce more collagen. When skin care peptides are applied topically, your skin is made to believe that it is a collagen break down agent and that your dermis needs to produce more. So you can successfully minimize wrinkles and give your skin a more youthful appearance with the application of skin care peptides.

HydroPeptide (Anti-Wrinkle) Pre-Treatment Toner is an age defying toner which exfoliates while brightening and evening out the skin tone.

  • Pre-treats the skin with 6 peptides including a Triple Action Collagen Peptide, Relaxing Peptide, Antioxidant Peptide, Moisture-Binding Peptide and Preservative Peptides for superior anti-ageing results.
  • Citrus stem cell extracts derived from oranges promote skin elasticity and support with its antioxidant and flavonoid nutrients.
  • 5% Lactic Acid, Mulberry, Licorice, Green Tea and Vitamin C promote a brighter, more even complexion.

HydroPeptide (Anti-Wrinkle) Pre-Treatment Toner will give your skin a luminous glow as it fights breakouts and discolorations. Sodium Hyaluronate delivers lightweight hydration while exfoliating Lactic Acid reduces fine lines and wrinkles as it minimizes pores. A radiance-boosting complex diminishes hyperpigmentation while advanced Peptides encourage healthy cell renewal.

Free of Gluten, Artificial Fragrance, Parabens, Phenoxyethanol, PEG’s, Phthalate or Sulphates

Can be used on all skin types, including mature skin, oily and acne-prone skin, sensitive skin.

Bottle of 200 ml.

Western Digital Announces BICS4 3D NAND with 96 Layers

/ 3 years ago

Western Digital 96 layers 3D NAND

Western Digital announced that it has successfully developed its next-generation 3D NAND technology, BiCS4. The new BICS4 technology features 96 layers of vertical storage capability. To put that in perspective, it is an increase of 30% percent over the current BICS3 which features 64 layers.

The new technology is a creation of the NAND joint venture between Toshiba Corporation and Western Digital. The two companies and their joint venture already have a lot of success, which is thanks to the BICS3 technology. This year, BICS3 is estimated to make up more than 75 percent of WD’s overall 3D NAND supply.

The new BICS4 technology will initially make up a 256-gigabit chip, but that’s just the beginning. Later, it will ship in a range of capacities, including a terabit on a single chip. That is impressive. How the performance will be is something that we’ll have to wait and see.

“Our successful development of the industry’s first 96-layer 3D NAND technology demonstrates Western Digital’s continued leadership in NAND flash and solid execution to our technology roadmap,” said Dr Siva Sivaram, executive vice president of memory technology at Western Digital. “BiCS4 will be available in 3-bits-per-cell and 4-bits-per-cell architectures, and it contains technology and manufacturing innovations to provide the highest 3D NAND storage capacity, performance and reliability at an attractive cost for our customers. Western Digital’s 3D NAND portfolio is designed to address the full range of end markets spanning consumer, mobile, computing and data centre.”

While the development is a success, there’s still some time until we get our hands on it. Chips made with the new technology will sample to OEM partners in the second half of 2017. The production output will then commence in 2018.

Lecture #282: The History of the Divine Service at Altars (XCII) – The Prohibition of Bamot (LXVIII)

  • Rav Yitzchak Levy
Dedicated by Steven Weiner and Lisa Wise with prayers for Refuah Shelemah for all who require healing, comfort and peace –
those battling illnesses visibly and invisibly, publicly and privately.
May Hashem mercifully grant us strength, courage and compassion.
In the previous shiurim we examined the calves fashioned in the wilderness and by Yerovam, to what extent they were idolatry, and why calves were chosen to substitute for the keruvim. In this shiur, as part of our summary of Yerovam's actions, we wish to consider Chazal's attitude toward Yerovam's motives and examine the entirety of his actions in the kingdom of Israel on various planes – time, place and people.
We have seen that there was a comprehensive change in the Divine service, the primary purpose of which was to firmly establish Yerovam's kingdom and rule, and sever the tribes of the kingdom of Israel from Jerusalem. The main changes involved the presentation of an alternative location – Bet-El and Dan; a change in the cult itself – the calves; a change in the people who conducted the service – no longer the priests, but anyone who wished to make himself a priest; and a change in the calendar.
In this shiur we wish to examine Yerovam's considerations as they find expression in the words of Chazal.
The Gemara in Sanhedrin relates to Yerovam's actions and his considerations, and says as follows:
Rav Nachman said: The conceit which possessed Yerovam drove him out of the world, as it is stated: "Now Yerovam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: if this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn to their lord, even to Rechavam king of Yehuda, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rechavam king of Yehuda" (I Melakhim 12:26-27). He reasoned thus: It is a tradition[1] that none but the kings of the house of Yehuda may sit in the Temple courtyard. Now, when they [the people] see Rechavam sitting and me standing, they will say, The former is the king and the latter his subject; while if I sit too, I am guilty of treason, and they will slay me, and follow him. Straightway: "Therefore the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bet-El, and the other he put in Dan" (I Melakhim 12:28-29). (Sanhedrin 102a)
Yerovam's Motives
In the verse cited by the Gemara (I Melakhim 12:27), the concern about continuing the Divine service in the house of God in Jerusalem is that the people would kill Yerovam and return to Rechavam the king of Yehuda. Yerovam's use of the term "their lord" seems to indicate that Yerovam concedes that Rechavam is the legal ruler, whereas he himself, Yerovam, is but a slave who rebelled against his master.[2]
Rechavam's son, Aviya, says in his address to Yerovam on Mount Tzemarayim:
Hear me, O Yerovam and all Israel; ought you not to know that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? (II Divrei ha-Yamim 13:4-5)
He notes that God turned the house of David into a permanent royal dynasty. The expression used by Aviya is "a covenant of salt." What this expression means is that the covenant that God made with David and his household is a covenant that can never be nullified. This expression is rooted in the Torah. The Torah states with respect to the meal-offering:
And every meal-offering of yours shall you season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal-offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt. (Vayikra 2:13)
And in God's words to Aharon, with regard to the portions of the sacrifices given to the priests, it is stated:
All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a due for ever; it is an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord to you and to your seed with you. (Bemidbar 18:19)
Salt symbolizes the eternal covenant that God made with the people of Israel.
In our context, Aviya tells Yerovam explicitly that God's relationship with the kingdom of the Davidic house is a covenant of salt that will never be nullified or changed. According to this understanding, Yerovam is rebelling against the kingdom. Yerovam himself says that the heart of the people will still turn to their lord Rechavam.
Since the Halakha states that none but the kings of the house of David may sit in the Temple courtyard, the Gemara says that if the people of Israel were to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and see Rechavam sitting and Yerovam standing, they would think that Rechavam was the king and Yerovam was his subject. On the other hand, if Yerovam were to sit in the Temple courtyard he would be guilty of treason. In any case, then, everyone would follow Rechavam. Therefore Yerovam makes the two golden calves.
It follows that Yerovam's first and primary concern was about his personal honor, that it would be compromised if he were to stand and Rechavam were to sit. In addition, the Maharsha (ad loc.) notes that in order to preserve his own status, Yeravam would have been willing even to transgress the law and sit in the Temple courtyard, were it not for his fear that he would be executed.
This concern is alluded to by the double use of the term shiva, return – tashuv and ve-shav. This idea appears in another formulation in the Yerushalmi, Avoda Zara 1:1, as cited in the commentary of the Radak (ad loc.):
Rabbi Yose bar Yaakov said: At the end of the Sabbatical year, Yeravam ruled as king over Israel. This is what the verse states: "At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of Sukkot, when all Israel is come to appear before the Lord your God in the place which He shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing" (Devarim 31:10-11). [Yerovam] said: I must read from the Torah. If I stand up to read, [the people] will say that the king of the place [Rechavam] takes precedence. If I read second to him, it is a dishonor to me. And if I do not read at all, it is a disgrace to me. And if I allow [the people] to go [to Jerusalem] alone, they will leave me and go back to Rechavam the son of Shelomo. (Radak, I Melakhim 12:27)
According to the Yerushalmi, Yerovam assumed the kingship at the end of the Sabbatical year. Here too the main issue on Yerovam's agenda is his personal honor. If Rechavam as king would read from the Torah first, and he second, it would be a dishonor to him, and if Yerovam would not read at all, it would be a disgrace to him.
From a comprehensive perspective on Yerovam's actions, it may be said that they relate to the three main components of man's behavior: place, time and people; or in the language of Chassidut – world, year and soul.[3]
As we have shown in previous shiurim, the choice of a place is significant on several levels. In the historical context, Bet-El is connected to the stories of the patriarchs, especially that of Yaakov. Primarily, however, setting the calves up along the borders of the kingdom reflects an inclination that is just the opposite of that of the Temple: Placing the calves as a shield along the borders of the kingdom (as opposed to Jerusalem which is located in the heart of the kingdom of Yehuda) and as representing sanctity that impacts from the outside (as opposed to the Temple that impacts from within).
Scripture relates that Yerovam devised a month on his own and the festival of Sukkot was celebrated "in the eighth month on the fifteenth of the month like the festival in Yehuda" (I Melakhim 12:32). Ostensibly, the simple understanding of the verses is that Sukkot was celebrated that year in the kingdom of Israel on the fifteenth of Cheshvan.
Rav Reuven Margaliot,[4] relating to the month that Yerovam introduced on his own, writes as follows:
Rashi in Melakhim (ad loc.) writes: He expounded for them that this is the month of the harvest, and that it is fitting that the festival be celebrated in it. That is to say, just as we know from the laws that determine the year, that we can intercalate the year and move the festival of Pesach a full month if the spring does not come at its appointed time, so too Yerovam expounded for them that the year can be intercalated in order that the harvest festival be at its appointed time. The assumption that only the month of Adar can be intercalated is not stated explicitly in the Torah, but rather is known from tradition. But Yerovam, whose Torah was faultless and all the sages of Israel in comparison to him resembled the herbs of the field (Sanhedrin 102a), but together with this he was filled with conceit (Sanhedrin 101b), knew about himself that there was nobody like him in Israel and he allowed himself to disagree with this fundamental principle…
It is no wonder then that Yerovam devised a month of his own, that is to say, he intercalated the month of Elul, and because of this the festivals of the seventh month were transferred to what was the eighth according to the determination of the Sages of Israel who disagreed with him, as they called that month "the eighth" month, whereas Yeravam considered it the seventh month, and fixed the festival on the fifteenth of the month, as it is stated, just as they called the month in which Chizkiyahu established the festival of Pesach "seven days" by the name "the second month" (II Divrei ha-Yamim 30). Yeravam did not change that which is stated explicitly in the Torah, but rather he disagreed with one of the accepted assumptions concerning the intercalation of the year. Just as he knew how to expound the book of Vayikra in a hundred and twenty ways (Sanhedrin 103b), so too he knew how to explain his assumption to intercalate Elul so that the harvest festival be in its time, and with this he succeeded in turning the heart of the people.
However, by intercalating Elul, not only was the festival of Sukkot moved, but also the time of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. This is what is stated in the Yerushalmi (Avoda Zara 1:1, and in Midrash Rabba Eikha, chap.2): "The Lord has caused to be forgotten in Zion appointed season and Shabbat" (Eikha 2:6). Is it possible that the Holy One, blessed is He, caused the appointed seasons and Shabbats of Israel to be forgotten. Rather, [He caused to be forgotten] the appointed seasons and Shabbats of Yerovam ben Nevat which he had invented on his own. This is what it says: "In the month which he had devised of his own heart (milibo)" (I Melakhim 12:33). It is written milvad, as in: "Apart from the Shabbat of the Lord" (Vayikra 12:33). According to the superficial understanding, it is exceedingly astounding how Yerovam could have allowed himself to devise a "Shabbat" of his own heart, to move a holy day from its appointed time…
However the "appointed time and the Shabbat" which Yerovam devised are Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashana is not a holiday, but rather an "appointed time," and Yom Kippur is a "Shabbat Shabbaton"… Even when he came to change the appointed times and holidays from what they were in Yehuda, he did not raise his hand again what is explicit in the Torah. He devised a month on his own, he intercalated Elul and explained the intercalation by expounding that the harvest festival should be in its time, just as the festival of Pesach must be in the spring. But at no time was it possible in Israel for a person to rise up and change what is explicit in the Torah and to institute novelties against what was known and rooted in the people from the day that the Torah was given to Israel.
It turns out that according to Rav Margaliot, the festival of Sukkot was celebrated in the kingdom of Israel on the fifteenth of Tishrei and not on the fifteenth of Cheshvan. Yerovam intercalated Elul, and so the fifteenth of Tishrei in the kingdom of Israel paralleled the fifteenth of Cheshvan in the kingdom of Yehuda. In this way Yerovam succeeded from that time on to celebrate the festivals in the kingdom of Israel a month later that when they were celebrated in the kingdom of Yehuda.
Zev Ehrlich[5] notes that the agricultural situation in the kingdom of Israel from Mount Bet-El northward served as a good background for the month long delay. The agricultural produce ripens in Israel a little later than in Yehuda. This situation serves as a convenient background in the kingdom of Israel to accept the change in the appointed times.
It is possible[6] that when Yerovam ascended the altar to offer sacrifices in Bet-El he had Sukkot in mind, on the fifteenth of Tishrei according to his calculation, and in practice on the fifteenth of Cheshvan in the kingdom of Yehuda. This in essence was the dedication of the bamot in Bet-El and in Dan, which replaced Shelomo's dedication of the Temple.
We suggested in the past that Shelomo's dedication of the Temple took place in the twenty-fourth year of his reign. According to this calculation, Yerovam's dedication of the bamot took place seventeen years after the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem by Shelomo.[7] If we add also what was cited above from the Yerushalmi in tractate Avoda Zara that Yerovam ascended to the throne in the year following the Sabbatical year, it turns out that the dedication of the bamot in Bet-El was in essence a Hakhel ceremony in which Yerovam starred as the priest and as the king over the ten tribes, and it took place a month after the parallel Hakhel ceremony led by Rechavam in the kingdom of Yehuda.
It is interesting to consider whether it is possible to attach spiritual significance to this aspect of the dedication of the Temple by Rechavam and Yerovam in the kingdom of Yehuda and in the kingdom of Israel after the dedication of the Temple by Shelomo, which also took place in the month of Tishrei.
In the next shiur we will complete our discussion of the actions taken by Yerovam, including the changes that he introduced regarding the people who performed the Divine service.

Our suggestion is different than that of Ehrlich.

I have improved the 3 first haplogroup migration maps (http://www.eupedia.com/europe/neolithic_europe_map.shtml) (5500 BCE to 2500 BCE) and added a new map with the "missing link" between 2500 and 2000 BCE showing how R1b lineages spread during the early European Bronze Age along the Danube, and from the Unetice Culture to Western Europe (from 2300 BCE). The British, Irish, French and Iberian Bronze Age all started soon afterwards (2250 to 2000 BCE).

You can read online about the European Early Bronze Age (including the Unetice culture) (http://books.google.com/books?id=uOzejz5zUTQC&lpg=PA153&ots=_VZNxGGs_0&dq=unetice%20culture&pg=PA139#v=onepage&q=&f=true) (Google book).

View Full Version : Nature vs Nurture - Feral Children

14-08-11, 14:12
This is very much related to the other thread on IQ and Genetics.

There are two famous cases of feral children.

1. Victor of Aveyron (France)
wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_of_Aveyron)

2. Genie - (America)
wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_%28feral_child%29)
youtube documentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqqanfbK1H0&feature=related)

other cases of feral children (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_children)

In both cases the people examining the children were unable to identify if the signs of retardation in the children were due to birth abnormalities or whether they developed from their abnormal upbringing. Despite teaching and support language skills remained poor, with the children struggling to develop any at all.

Some researchers claim that if you do not learn a first language by puberty you will not be able to in later life. What significance does this language deadline have on second languages?

What impact does early mental development have on our IQ in later life? How important is early mental stimulation and exposure to languages at a young age have on our development?

It would be interesting to hear people opinions and expereinces on the subject.

Nice way of comparison. Thanks man.

PEGylated Biodegradable Polyesters for PGSS Microparticles Formulation: Processability, Physical and Release Properties

Graphical Abstract:

Background: Particles from Gas Saturated Solution (PGSS) is an emergent method that employs supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to produce microparticles. It is suitable for encapsulating biologically active compounds including therapeutic peptides and proteins. Poly(lactide acid) (PLA) and/or poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) are the most commonly used materials in PGSS, due to their good processability in scCO2. Previous studies demonstrated that the properties of the microparticles can be modulated by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) or tri-block PEGylated copolymers.

Objective: In the present work, the effect of the addition of biodegradable PEGylated di-block copolymers on the physical properties and drug release performance of microparticles prepared by PGSS technique was evaluated.

Method: mPEG5kDa-P(L)LA and mPEG5kDa-P(L)LGA with similar molecular weights were synthesized and their behaviour, when exposed to supercritical CO2, was investigated. Different microparticle formulations, composed of a high (81%) or low (9%) percentage of the synthesized copolymers were prepared and compared in terms of particle size distribution, morphology, yield and protein release. Drug release studies were performed using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein.

Results: PEGylated copolymers showed good processability in PGSS without significant changes to the physical properties of the microparticles. However, the addition of PEG exerted a modulating effect on the microparticle drug dissolution behaviour, increasing the rate of BSA release as a function of its content in the formulation.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated the feasibility of producing microparticles by using PEGylated di-block copolymers through a PGSS technique at mild operating conditions (low operating pressure and temperature).

Keywords: BSA, Di-block copolymers, drug release, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), microparticles, view cell.

Perspectives—Letter from Berlin. A Heavy Debate about the Refugees Has Germans in a Severe Identity Crisis. (1/20)

By Markus Ziener, Berlin Professor of Journalism

In Cologne on New Year's Eve there was no terrorist attack and no one got killed. But the massive assaults on women by a huge crowd with many asylum seekers has sent a nation into shock. The shock is multi-dimensional and deep: Germans are rubbing their eyes about a helpless police that was incapable to upholding the law. They are shocked about the criminal behavior of people Germany had welcomed and opened the doors for. But most of all: Germany is wondering about the values the country stands for – and whether they can be defended.

News – Donations for abused African children

November 2007

 Donations for abused African children

Two charities are donating £450,000 to help African children in the UK who are accused of witchcraft and demon possession. It is hoped that the money will help improve child protection and provide a family support centre.

Traditional African customs involving exorcism of those thought to be demon-possessed have followed some migrant communities to the UK. Children can be subject to violent abuse if allegations are made against them. Last year, a government-funded report identified 38 such cases of abuse.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries there are thousands of unregulated churches which mix traditional beliefs and extreme revivalist Christianity. According to a report by the BBC, thousands of children live on the streets of Kinshasa, the capital of DRC, after being thrown out of their homes accused of ‘Kindoki’ or ‘Ndoki’ (witchcraft).

In June 2005 three people were tried at the Old Bailey and sent to prison for abusing a child they claimed was possessed by evil spirits. The child, who cannot be named, had been stabbed, beaten and had chilli peppers rubbed in her eyes. Five years earlier eight-year-old Victoria Climbié was tortured to death, in part because her killers believed she was possessed. When she died she had 128 separate injuries.

The City Parochial Foundation and the Trust for London are giving the money to four groups: AFRUCA (Africans Unite against Child Abuse); the UK Congolese Safeguarding Action Group; the Churches Child Protection Advisory Service; and the Victoria Climbié Foundation.

South Africa is expected to deploy more than 3 GW of additional wind power capacity

South Africa is the new hotspot for wind installation and has great potential for capacity addition over the next four years, says the new report from GlobalData.

Over 3 GW is expected to be installed by 2020, bringing the country’s cumulative capacity up to 5.6 GW, according to research and consulting firm GlobalData.

The company’s latest report states that until 2012 the wind industry in South Africa was almost non-existent, with just about 10 MW of cumulative installed capacity, which was installed over 10 years. Since then, installed capacity has swiftly improved, with 30 MW installed in 2013, 606 MW in 2014 and 483 MW in 2015.

Pavan Vyakaranam, GlobalData’s analyst covering Power, says, “Despite the large capacity additions in 2014 and 2015, South Africa is still new to the wind industry, and it has huge wind power potential. At this point it is very important to have a system to determine wind speeds and other factors throughout the expanses of the country in order to plan installations, future capacity and infrastructure development in accordance with the wind potential in the different regions and sites.”

“For example, in the same region there may be multiple wind sites and each site may have different wind speeds and potential due to different altitudes and terrains. A system that maps these sites and their wind potential would be highly instrumental for the government as well as for power producers in several aspects of planning, such as turbine size, fixing tariffs, and developing roads and transmission infrastructure.”

GlobalData believes that South Africa’s newfound focus on wind power will push the country closer to reaching its climate targets. In 2015, South Africa submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Commitments (INDC) ahead of the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21), stating that it intends to strike a balance between the much-needed development of power capacity and the necessity to limit greenhouse gas emission.

Vyakaranam continues, “The energy sector is currently the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in South Africa, emitting close to 250 million tons (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent. With more capacity additions underway, wind power will account for reductions to greenhouse gas emissions in South Africa by an estimated 6.4 MT in 2020 and then 12.7 MT in 2025.”
