General election news coverage: What engages audiences down the ballot

  Summary As Election Day approaches, more people seek news and information about politics. To understand the habits of news audiences in the run-up to the election, we analyzed what was being covered in reporting about down-ballot, non-presidential races for U.S. Congress, governor, and local offices in the lead-up to the 2016 general election. The […]

The Future of Fact-Checking: Moving ahead in political accountability journalism

Overview These should be heady days for fact-checkers. In an industry that has not otherwise been enjoying robust growth, the number of media outlets focused on fact-checking and political accountability reporting has grown rapidly. Bolstered by new partnerships and technology, demonstrably more fact-checking took place during the 2016 election than in previous elections. Media organizations […]

7 characteristics of effective accountability journalists

No matter what topics they cover, many journalists hold people and institutions responsible for their words and actions. This “accountability journalism,” whether it is political fact-checking, investigations or other forms of reporting, must still engage readers and impact audiences to be effective. All journalism, in the end, should strive to make the significant interesting. Through […]

Primary election coverage: What types of news engage audiences

The Engaging News Project partnered with the American Press Institute to examine local news coverage of the […]

Best practices for product management in news organizations

News is a product. Conceptually, that is a leap for people from traditional reporting and editing roles. We are used to buying “products” in stores or online. We hear tech people describe a new app or service as a “product.” And all that makes sense. But we traditionally did not think of news that way. […]

A culture-based strategy for creating innovation in news organizations

For journalism it truly is the best of times and the worst of times. The best, in that never has there been more opportunity for creative storytelling, audience expansion, and crafting or grasping new digital tools for whatever needs arise. The worst, in that news organizations are often unable to seize the opportunities at their […]

Unlocking mobile revenue and audience: New ideas and best practices

We have thoroughly entered the age of mobile news. People are shifting so rapidly to smartphones and tablets, various data suggest, that mobile devices in the last year became the primary platforms for news. With that comes a whole new level of uncertainty and opportunity for news publishers. The American Press Institute recently gathered more than 40 […]

Understanding the rise of sponsored content

In recent years news publishers have grappled with an uncomfortable realization: The traditional revenue streams of display advertising and reader subscriptions may not be sufficient to support them in a digital age. Digital display ads command unimpressive rates and engagement, with clickthroughs measured in the tenths of percentage points. Digital subscriptions have recently helped some […]

How to break away from articles and invent new story forms

As publishing has moved to digital forms, journalists have discovered it is quite possible — and sometimes preferable — to tell a news story without writing an article. But how?

10 tips for understanding your audiences and targeting new ones

News companies, especially newspapers, were historically organized to pursue mass audiences. The goal was to build up the biggest possible audience by covering the widest array of general interest topics. That’s no more.

Voting and Elections: A Mathematical Perspective

Moodle site: Course

Tanya L. Leise (Section 01)

The outcomes of many elections, whether to elect the next U.S. president or to rank college football teams, can displease many of the voters. How can perfectly fair elections produce results that nobody likes? We will discuss different voting systems and their pros and cons, including majority rule, plurality rule, Borda count, and approval voting, and examine the results of various past elections. We will also assess the power of each voter under various systems, for example, by calculating the Banzhaf power index. After exploring the pitfalls of various voting systems (through both theoretical analysis and examples from recent as well as historical elections), we will try to answer some pressing questions: Which voting system best reflects the will of the voters? Which is least susceptible to manipulation? What properties should we seek in a voting system, and how can we best attain them?The course will be discussion-based, and students are expected to be active participants in the seminar. The course will develop critical thinking skills and the ability to write carefully reasoned arguments. No prior mathematics is assumed. This course will provide an introduction to liberal studies through in-class discussions, readings, and writing assignments. Feedback will be provided to help students improve their writing skills.Fall semester. Professor Leise.

Coat worn by Edwin Booth as Richard III

By Emily Gold Boutilier

An important part of the Folger Shakespeare Library’s mission is to spread an appreciation for Shakespeare far and wide, but access to the library’s rare books and artifacts is necessarily restricted to senior scholars. There is one exception to that rule: each year since 1996, Amherst has sent a select group of two or three students to Washington, D.C., during the January Interterm to stay in the Folger guest house for two weeks and to conduct research in the Old Reading Room, which is open to the general public only on Shakespeare’s birthday.

Sarah Courtney ’06, a women’s and gender studies major, was one of these students during her senior year. As part of her thesis on early children’s literature, she studied chapbooks, one of the earliest forms of mass-produced literature. Chapbooks are very small, and the first ones date back to the 16th century.

In the Reading Room, Folger employees delivered the diminutive tomes to Courtney and set them up on foam blocks to minimize wear. The quiet room, with a high arched ceiling, hardwood shelves and a balcony that goes all the way around, “puts you in the mind of the period you are studying,” says Courtney, now a graduate student in linguistics at Cornell. At one end of the room is an enormous stained glass window that depicts the “seven ages of man” as described in a passage from As You Like It. As part of the fellowship, Amherst students also take part in a traditional afternoon tea served daily to visiting scholars and staff.

Gregg McHugh ’96, now a corporate lawyer in Houston, Tex., was part of the first group of Amherst students to spend Interterm at the Folger. He arrived 11 years ago to read for his thesis on John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. McHugh remembers the distinct smell of the reading room—“It smells of scholarship,” he says—and the effect it had on the brain. “It’s like when you go through the produce section of a particularly good store: you just feel healthier even if you are not taking in any nutrients,” McHugh says. “It’s the same way when you walk into the Folger. The smell makes you feel smarter.”

As McHugh and Courtney demonstrate, a specific interest in Shakespeare isn’t a prerequisite for study at the Folger; the library’s collections support in-depth research into the early modern period in the West. To Courtney, the opportunity to do research in such a rarified preserve is “one of those weird, quirky things about Amherst” that made her undergraduate years so special.

Natasha Staller, professor of art and art history, chairs the Folger Fellowships Committee. She describes the fellowships as a “tremendous gift” to students, allowing them “blissful, extended time” to study primary sources and to work with an exceptionally knowledgeable staff. “When students work at the Folger,” she says, “they are able to take their work and their understanding to a dramatically deeper level. In addition to the raw joy and thrill of prospecting for gold (which serendipitous research always seems like to me), they have a chance to make real discoveries.”

Key Tips to Translations For Starting FBA in a New Market Place

So you are looking to start FBA in a new market and are looking to get translations done. That’s awesome! Congrats!
Needless to say, knowing and understanding the market and its customers is crucial to your expansion’s success.

However, when looking at different markets, there are a lot of factors to consider, which will play a role in the consumer’s behavior. There will be political, religious, social and cultural as well as language and economic factors, just to mention a few.  But let’s not get too complicated.
We’ll start with focusing on one key aspect: Translations. The language of your customer.

Understanding Your Target Market

Many of us will agree with the saying that gets passed around that and how they usually say: “The language is the key to another culture”. We all know that English is world’s No. 1 spoken language, but this might not help you when communicating with your potential customers in your desired market.

Myself as a German and non-native English speaker can confirm that you. Although English is our second language and widely spoken and many Germans are fluent in English, we would prefer our local language. This is especially true when purchasing products or doing business. This sentiment can be found in general and this counts for a vast number of other countries as well.

Communicating well is your biggest mission when doing marketing and when it comes to moving to international markets. Very few things are more important than understanding language in the context of your customers.
Take Canada, here you got a country with two official languages that you need pay attention to.
Furthermore, cultural aspects can sometimes differ such as the symbolism of colors or in general the business etiquette.
For example, did you know that in in the eastern cultures of Asia the color white is linked to unpleasant things like mourning and death?   And it doesn’t end there…

Color White Meaning Around The World

  • White is the traditional color worn by brides in the western world, as well as in Japan.
  • White is a color of mourning in China and parts of Africa.
  • It was the custom for the Queens of France to wear deuil blanc or “white mourning”
  • White was the color of deepest mourning among medieval European queens was white rather than black. This tradition survived in Spain until the end of the fifteenth century.
  • In Chinese culture, colors corresponded with the five primary elements, the directions, and the four seasons. White was associated with metal, west, and autumn.
  • A white flag is universally recognized as a symbol of truce.
  • The Japanese have six distinct terms to define whiteness.
  • The ancient Greeks wore white to bed to ensure pleasant dreams.

And that is just for the color white!

Even the biggest companies like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Ikea and Coca-Cola, have all run into problems by not paying attention to translations and . It’s important to avoid having your brand or product names, slogans, etc. translated in a way that would harm rather than boost their brand awareness. And while, you may be thinking…

“What company in their right mind would intentionally do that?”

Not fully understanding the nuances in the language of your customer demographic can leave you vulnerable to that. Let’s take Toyota for instance. Some of you may or may not remember the MR2.

mr2-mercia1With its success in the US market, Toyota had decided to take the successful MR2 model global. One of the countries they decided to take this car model to was France. The issue? In France those letters sound like “M-R-Deux” when translated could then sound in spoken French like the French word ‘merde’.
For those of you that don’t know the meaning of this word in French, think of the one thing you hate stepping on besides gum.

I’m sure it’s not necessary to explain the potential hazards of naming any car something that sounds like something that translates to ‘poop’, let alone a sexy sports car you are hoping to sell a lot of. Luckily for them, they caught it early and they decided to name it ‘MR’ when they started in France in order to avoid any miscommunications with the translation. Simon Anholt, a policy advisor and author of the book ‘Another one bites the grass’ even stated: “Language is, in many respects such a silly little thing, but it has the power to bring marketing directors to their knees. That’s where the terror lies.”

Well, the bad news is without living in that environment you won’t be able to pick up the cultural nuances.
The good news? There are great professional services out there that support you in getting translations to take the hassle out moving to another country to find out whether or not using the color white will be the kiss of death for your business. In the following section, we’ll go over just that

Translation Services

As a business owner there are quite a few translation service options at your disposal to choose from:

Software Translation

(Google Translate, Babylon Systran, Lionbridge, etc.)

Now with translations, this is likely the first option that will come to mind for most of you. The reasons being, it’s easy, cheap/free, and the turnaround time is almost instantaneous. And though this is a tempting option, it’s important to note that the use of this tool doesn’t allow you to account for the cultural differences discussed in the previous paragraph, leaving you vulnerable to the potential mistakes like the one Toyota almost made. In addition to that, using a translation software can be very inaccurate. Google for example often messes up the entire sentences structure or words or take very literal interpretations of sayings.

Full-Time Translator

This option refers to a person that works as an In-house employee. Now while this option may not be instantaneous, through this method you can account for the language and cultural missteps. While the turnaround time is significantly slower.  As for whether hiring a full time translator is right for you, the best indicator is to look at your workload or the amount of projects you need to get done. Things like if is a huge workflow for larger projects for instance. Obviously this comes with a bigger investment than the software option, and being that you are hiring an employee, this makes more sense for large scale companies.

Freelance Translator

A freelancer as wikipedia would define them, is a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term, and are perfect for one off projects like getting translations done. Since the release of Tim Ferriss’ book ‘The 4 Hour Work Week’, platforms such as Upwork, Odesk (now operating together) and have become well known as places to find freelancers to outsource these skilled tasks.  What this means for you as a business owner is that skilled work ranging from  designers, programmers, translators and content creators from around the world are available to you

Translation Agencies

These agencies usually work with freelancers, but the difference between an agency and working with a freelancer directly is that these agencies serve as an intermediary for you. Working with a translation agency can offer you many benefits, such as managing all kind of different projects simultaneously as well as providing a large pool of resources that may not be as easily accessible to you. In addition to that, being that they are more familiar with the process, they can better ensure that you receive high quality work.

So, what would be the best choice for expanding into a new market? Well, with the first two you have complete opposite ends of the spectrum.
With software you have low cost and quick turn around, which is amazing. But low quality. So no go.

While a full time translator you have high quality, but high cost. Unless you can provide this person with enough work for 40 hours a week and are you able to pay this full time salary, which or most FBA sellers will be unlikely as they’ll only need to do one-off translations of a handful of listings. That leaves us with the last two options.

  • Do you have a couple products with no critical time line?
  • Are you a power seller with many products and respective listings that need translation?
  • Maybe somewhere in between?

Well whatever your answer, in the next section, we’ll go over what are the 4 criteria you should be using to help you figure out what translation is best for your business.

Translation Agency vs. Freelance Translator

Whether or not to choose working with a translation agency versus a freelance translator comes with each of their own respective Up’s and Down’s.
But in a nutshell, there are 4 criteria that are important to keep in mind:

  1. The Budget
  2. Number of Languages
  3. Timeframe
  4. Quality

Using a Translation Agency:

  • Budget: Will be on the higher end relative to using a freelancer and can occasionally come with hidden administrative costs
  • Number of Languages: Can handle multiple language translations.
  • Timeframe: Multiple projects can be done and managed simultaneously and quickly with minimal investment from you as you have a project manager to take care of details.
  • Quality: You have someone with experience evaluating the quality of your the finished translations.

Using a Freelancer:

  • Budget: No hidden administration costs or provisions often comprised in the pricing (savings up to 50% for the same quality)
  • Number of Languages: One. The reason being it is very difficult to find a translator that not only speaks multiple languages, but well enough to understand cultural nuances that you are looking for.
  • Timeframe: You are likely looking at a longer timeline. As you will likely be developing a process as you go and will have to allocate your own time towards managing some of the project.
  • Quality: Varies dependent upon experience however with this option this you have direct contact with your translator meaning you have more control over the end product.

Once you’ve determined where you fit in those criteria, it should give you a better idea as to which is the best fit for your business.

Whether not you choose a freelancer or an agency, it’s important to note that not everyone who speaks a different language equals to a high quality translator. The results will be different if you deal with someone whose mother tongue is your target language versus his second language. So be sure to find out if it’s their native tongue or how familiar they are with the language.
Also, pay attention to where they are currently residing. After being abroad for a while, the native language spoken can be affected as it may not be used as frequently in whatever country they currently reside in.

This evaluation can be done through things like Upwork tests that does basic language evaluation. Another good way to evaluate them is by performing a skype interview and fielding these questions:

  • Have they lived in the country the language is spoken?
  • Are they currently living in that country?

How to Hire a Freelancer?

Like we previously stated, the most known platform out there are ( Another platform that is also a big player worth considering is (

Prep to Save Hours on Your Translations

In order establish a smooth hiring process of a freelancer for a new translation project there are several points that you can prepare in order to get the best outcome.
In the words of Bill Gates,

“The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.”

And this rule also applies to the process you use to get translations done.
The best thing you can do is be organized and prepared and have all your content ready. And though expansion to new markets means the content is likely to change depending on your products, you should still prepare the basic points, for example:

  • product title
  • the description
  • bulletpoints
  • FAQ (if it applies to you)

A helpful practice to get accustomed to is preparing a Project Proposal, Organizing every aspect of the project from payment terms to how the process will be done. Going into as much detail as possible for things like where the content pending translation will be found and and in what document format the completed projects you want them in.

The easiest option would be to make the translation files available online with one of the cloud services, so that the translator and you can have easily access to it. I personally highly recommend using Google Drive. However, some translators prefer Word files as they are more comfortable or familiar with this.

In a nutshell, the main points you will need to focus on are:

  1. Source and Target language
  2. Quotation Offer
  3. Word Count/Source Word Count
  4. Due Date Further Instructions

Source and Target Language

Obviously, the first thing the applicants need to to know is what language you want translated.

(Ex. Looking for English – German translator)

Finding the right price for translation from English into the target language requires a certain amount of research. Keep in mind you can negotiate later with several freelancers in order to get better insight about pricing after receiving different quotations. (Ex. Price per word, or price per 100 words (e.g. $0.04/ word)

Word Count

Standard practice for setting project costs is by stating payment per number words (e.g. $4/100 words or $0.04/ word) with the total amount of the content that you want to get translated. Quickest way to do this is to copy-and-paste all your text into a Word document or Google Doc and use the Word count tool. (Ex. total of 3,000 words)

Due Date

What’s your completion date goal. This depends on the amount of content as well on the availability of the freelancer. If you are not experienced yet, go ahead and inquire several applicants for your job offer to get a better understanding of a realistic deadline while finding who matches your ideal timeline.

Further Instructions

Tell the freelancers your special instructions. Where can they find the translated content? In what format do you like them to translate to (Google Docs, Word, etc.)?

There you go. If you want to dominate another local market, remembering the importance of language in the context of culture is crucial to your success. Like most businesses recognizing and understanding your customers is the key to getting to where you want to be. I hope this quick post has been enough to convince you to remember to prioritize your translation quality as a marketing essential as you look into entering a new market.
And if so, you now have the foundation to determine which of those services is the best one for positioning yourself for the most successful entry into the market.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Feel free to let us know in the comments if you have any feedback or questions.
Happy Selling!

Google Responds to Oracle's Claims About Java

Google responded to Oracle's accusations that Google's Android OS infringes on seven of the patents on Java that Oracle obtained when they acquired Sun Microsystems. On Friday, Google released a statement which says that "the open-source Java community goes beyond any one corporation".

BoyGeniusReport wrote that "Oracle is, “seeking an injunction and unspecified damages,” although the suit is most likely “part of a larger negotiating effort by Oracle to land a sizable licensing fee.” Oracle has yet to release an official statement defending the merits of the suit."

Below is the purported response from Google, which I unfortunately have not been able to verify:

We are disappointed Oracle has chosen to attack both Google and the open-source Java community with this baseless lawsuit. The open-source Java community goes beyond any one corporation and works every day to make the web a better place. We will strongly defend open-source standards and will continue to work with the industry to develop the Android platform.

As for the reasoning behind the lawsuit, Miguel de Icaza, known for his work on the GNOME and Mono projects, wrote on his blog that:

There is very little public information on the Google/Sun split over Java ME and the creation of Dalvik. The rumors on the grapevine were that Google and Sun could not reach an agreement over the Java Micro Edition licensing. Sun wanted to sit in the middle between Google and the handset OEMs, while Google wanted to create a free-for-all operating system.

When it became clear that they would not be able to reach an agreement, Google started a project to replace Java Micro Edition and they used some clever engineering techniques that blended the best of both worlds.

It is likely that during these negotiations, Google threatened to build their own Java runtime and Sun countered with a list of patents. This would explain why Google went through the trouble of making the Dalvik virtual machine explicitly incompatible with the existing Java virtual machine instructions.

Although Dalvik uses a different set of instructions, Google created a translator that recompiled Java code into Dalvik code, and with this, they worked around whatever licensing technicalities they were aware at the time of the negotiations.

Needless to say, Sun was not happy with Dalvik. Not only because Sun had lost a large licensing deal, but also because it had the potential of becoming the de-facto Java virtual machine that everyone on the embedded space would pick instead of Sun's own Java Micro Edition.

Phandroid adds that "the suit has dollar signs written all over, as Oracle recently acquired Sun Microsystems with intentions to reap the benefits of its Java patents from the beginning, according to one ex-employee." Then again, what doesn't these days?

Engadget comments that Google's statement feel like "Them's fightin' words -- and considering the Dalvik virtual machine at the heart of the Android OS is the centerpiece of this dispute, we wouldn't expect either side to back down quietly here. Get ready for years of litigation, friends."

Typically birds in vents occur during the spring time as they are preparing a place to have their young. You may first discover you have a bird problem when you start to hear noises in the vent, and if the problem is not corrected right away the birds will have their babies and the vent will begin to take on a foul odor from the waste products of the baby birds. It is always suggested to correct an animal problem as soon as it is discovered to avoid extensive damage to your home of business. Bird control experts can solve all types of bird problems whether it is a bird in vent, or a bird roosting problem we have the solutions for bird control!

Crawfordville, FL Bee Removal

Bee removal is a dangerous job to try and conduct for an inexperienced person to try and deal with. Most of the bees that are dealt with are in fact not bees, most of the problems that companies deal with come from wasps. Hornets are the most aggressive type of wasp followed by Yellow Jackets, and then Paper Wasps. There is a certain type of bees that we receive calls on, these are Honey bees and to be more specific they are Africanized Honey bees. These are the most aggressive type of bees in America and often bee and human contact can lead to a person being stung several times if not several hundred. Always be careful and hire a professional to handle you bee removal problem.

Crawfordville, FL Groundhog Removal

Groundhog removal is a call that is most received by wildlife removal companies on the east coast of the United States. Groundhogs are animals that are listed in the rodent category and eat only vegetation such as grasses and plants. Groundhogs will become a nuisance problem by digging holes under sheds and decks in populated areas. Often times this will be a female groundhog and her babies will be born and raised in the den area. These animals are not a welcome sight to cattle or horse farmers, as these animals will often step in the holes that the groundhogs dig, breaking the legs of these animals. Trapping these animals can be done, but we recommend that a wildlife exclusion be performed. This will assure that the groundhogs will not be able to return to the area. This often involves sealing areas around porches and decks with a top quality wire or concrete.

Crawfordville, FL Snake Removal

Snake removal in Crawfordville is a common call that most pest control companies are not prepared to handle in an efficient way. Some snake jobs will actually require the physical removal of the actual snake, other snake removal jobs may require an exclusion or sealing of a home to prevent reentry by snakes such as black rat snakes, copperheads, rattlesnakes and other types of snakes that are known to coexist around homes and buildings. Snake Control Experts are trained to catch both venomous and nonvenomous snakes. Snakes can be removed from in houses, basements, garages, and all other places a snake may invade a home or business.

There is something about this trailer which I find utterly charming and smile-inducing. I think Frank Langella is a great actor, and the idea of him as a bored retiree using his robot to rob smug privileged kids of their expensive belongings is quite funny.

The synopsis for Robot and Frank via Rotten Tomatoes:

Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank’s son chooses a different option: against the old man’s wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heartbreaking story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.

Robot and Frank is directed by Jake Schreier and stars Peter Sarsgaard, Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon.

The film is set to be released via Sony Pictures in Australia on November 15, 2012.

Apple Introduces Apple Watch Series 2, The Ultimate Device For A Healthy Life

Featuring Water Resistance 50 Meters, GPS, Two-Times-Brighter Display, Dual-Core Processor & watchOS 3

SAN FRANCISCO — September 7, 2016 — Today, Apple introduced Apple Watch Series 2, the next generation of the world’s most popular smartwatch. Apple Watch Series 2 is packed with incredible fitness and health capabilities including a water resistance 50 meter rating for swimming,* and built-in GPS so users can now run without an iPhone. Apple Watch Series 2 also features a dramatically brighter display and a powerful dual-core processor. Combined with the performance enhancements of watchOS 3, Apple Watch Series 2 makes it even easier to access third-party apps, receive and respond to notifications and conveniently use Apple Pay. Apple Watch Series 2 will be available in more than 25 countries beginning Friday, September 16.

“We’re thrilled with the response to Apple Watch and how it’s changed people’s lives. We are committed to fitness and health and think our customers will love the new capabilities of Apple Watch Series 2,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “With a powerful new dual-core processor, water resistance 50 meters and built-in GPS, Apple Watch Series 2 is packed with features to help our customers live a healthy life.”

Fitness & Health
Apple Watch Series 2 is rated water resistant 50 meters for swimming, surfing or just playing in the pool. For swimmers, Apple developed all-new algorithms after hundreds of hours of research for two new workout options, pool and open water. Apple Watch Series 2 can count laps, track average lap pace and auto-detect stroke type to accurately measure active calorie burn.

With built-in GPS, Apple Watch Series 2 records precise distance, pace and speed for outdoor workouts such as walking, running or cycling, without needing to take an iPhone. Users can begin an outdoor workout immediately as Apple Watch Series 2 uses Wi-Fi, GPS and locally stored satellite data to quickly identify their location. On completion of an outdoor workout, view a route map that shows variations in speed in the Activity app on iPhone. Whether running, going for a swim or walking between meetings, the Activity app on Apple Watch Series 2 counts all daily activity towards the Stand, Move and Exercise rings.

Advanced Technology
Apple pioneered the custom designed System in Package (SiP) for Apple Watch, and continues to develop this breakthrough technology with the second generation S2 chip. With a dual-core processor, the S2 chip takes performance to a new level, making Apple Watch up to 50 percent faster. In addition, a new GPU has been added, which delivers up to two-times-greater graphics performance. Apple Watch Series 2 also features a dramatically brighter display — at 1,000 nits, it’s more than two times brighter— making this the brightest display Apple has ever shipped, so it’s even easier to see important information at a glance when outside on a sunny day.

watchOS 3
watchOS 3 features significantly improved performance that makes it even simpler to launch favourite apps instantly, either from the watch face or with the new Dock, which displays the latest information already updated in the background. New fitness and health capabilities include the breakthrough Breathe app, designed to encourage users to take a moment in their day to do deep breathing exercises for relaxation and stress reduction. The Activity app now includes the ability to share, compare and compete, keeping friends and family motivated. There is also a customised experience for wheelchair users to close their Activity rings, in addition to dedicated workouts.

Apple Watch is even more personal with new watch faces including Minnie Mouse, Activity and Numerals. Simply swipe edge-to-edge to swap out a new watch face and with the new Face Gallery in the Apple Watch app on iPhone, it’s even easier to customise watch faces and discover third-party apps.

Apple Watch Lineup
Apple Watch Series 2 is available with all the new fitness and health capabilities in lightweight aluminium or stainless steel cases, paired with a wide variety of gorgeous new band colours.

Apple Watch Series 1 is available in lightweight aluminium and combines the new powerful dual-core processor and GPU with all the incredible features of the original Apple Watch, making it up to 50 percent faster and available to even more customers, starting at just $269 (US).

Apple Watch Edition now comes in a beautiful ceramic, that embodies craftsmanship with a lustrous white case and all the incredible features of Apple Watch Series 2. Ceramic is one of the hardest materials in the world — more than four times harder than stainless steel — with a beautiful, white, pearl-like finish, making Apple Watch Edition extremely scratch-resistant.

Pricing & Availability

*Apple Watch Series 2 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 2 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. Stainless steel and leather bands are not water resistant.

**In most countries.

Apple revolutionised personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Apple’s four software platforms — iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS — provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay and iCloud. Apple’s 100,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth, and to leaving the world better than we found it.

Angels and Tomboys: Girlhood in 19th Century American Art

Tickets available May 1, 2013. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the American girl seemed transformed—at once more introspective and adventurous than the previous generation. Although the culture still prized the demure female child of the past, many saw a bolder type as the new, alternate ideal. Girlhood was no longer simple, and the complementary images of angel and tomboy emerged as competing visions of this new generation. For the first time, girls claimed the attention of genre artists, and girlhood itself seized the imagination of the nation. Angels and Tomboys: Girlhood in Nineteenth-Century American Art explores the myriad ways artists portrayed young girls: from the sentimental, innocent stereotype to the free-spirited individual.

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. Ladies, gents, I am currently updating the history of Catterick Camp/Garrison. I have a comprehensive history of DKMH, although there are a few outstanding questions which can be found on the DKMH Facebook page.

    With regard to the old Military Hospital, across the road from what is now Darlington College at Catterick, information is scant to say the least. I would be grateful for ANY information relating to the hospital, especially photographs. Only one photo has come to light so far, and that was retrieved from a book about the Military Railway.

    Regards DKH
  2. Have you tried the curator of the AMS Museum at Keogh Barracks?

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. Ive recently started to get a problem whilst playing the above, it seems that after anything between 10 and 30 mins my whole system crashes. there is no warning or even a hint of a blue screen it just shuts down.

    Have any of you lot had this problem or has anyone heard of it happening elsewhere and have a solution to fix it.

    It doesnt do it on any or game or site i go into.

  2. Console or PC :? graphics card not up to scratch :? System struggling to cope?
  3. PC mate, not sure whether the graphics card is up to scratch as i have played the game since it came out and not had a problem. How would i know if the system was struggling?

    Billy Gates
  4. Could be the system overheating then shutting down?

    Then again i'm not a PC GP either so...?
  5. Do you think that CoD could shut the system down because the game itself was generating to much heat within the pc? (Does that even make sense?)
  6. The parts could be overheating trying to cope with it, but as you said it was playing fine for a long time.

    Maybe a part has cashed in it's pension?
  7. Dont know what you mean with the pension stuff SS. Or am i just thick as fook?
  8. By that I man it's nackard, on it's way out. Could be, but you best wait for someone else a little more experienced than me.
  9. Ok cheers fella. Soz for bein a thick fooker, i get it now!!!
  10. it slows down...a lot.....also the graphics become pixelated (correct word?) :wink:
  11. Ive not noticed it slow down either tbh, and as far as the pixelation goes, there fine! ;)
  12. Fan on GFX card could be on its way out causing overheat and death or even CPU cooler
  13. Are they easy to replace? I have noticed a sort of buzzin weering noise from my pc recently which i presume will be the fans.
  14. Gfx fan can be a complete barsteward the CPU not to bad it all depends on the type you get. Then again it might not even be that..
  15. BrunoNoMedals

    BrunoNoMedals LE Reviewer

    It could be your power supply. If it's dying then it won't be providing the power it once did. This will affect your graphics card (a serious drain on wattage) and, if the system doesn't get the power it needs, it will shut down.

    Can you see a power rating on the PSU? It's a block about 10cmx10cmx6cm where the kettle-style power cable goes into the PC. Tell us that, tell us how old it is, and give us some specs on your PC (3d card, processor) and we can make a better judgement.

Replacement for PVS - 14?

Discussion in 'Weapons, Equipment & Rations' started by daywalker, Jun 24, 2008.

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. daywalker

    daywalker LE Reviewer

    Whats every ones views on a possible replacement for the old NVG monocle, because i refuse to believe there aren't better systems on the market now.

    Is there a replacement already in the pipeline or is there a plan to upgrade to the PVS - 21?
  2. I have some pic's of "THEM" wearing those,but they'd be pretty expensive as general issue wouldn't they?
  3. PVS 21 is rather a different concept - it's a full binocular set up.

  4. daywalker

    daywalker LE Reviewer

    Surely price shouldn't still be in issue in this day and age and i've no doubt there is probably a whole warehouse of these things sitting there collecting dust somewhere in the British isles!!

    Im sure anyone who has done a 12 hour night move wearing the PVS - 14 would agree that the 21's would be a big step in the right direction.
  5. They'll only be general issue when 'They' break them all and you all get them held together with gaffa tape. So pretty much like every other electronics kit procurement.

Development of regionally-consistent phosphorus source coefficients for use in phosphorus index evaluations in the mid-atlantic region. Symposium Proceedings. p. 1-4.

Interpretive Summary: An interpretive summary is not required.

Technical Abstract: The Phosphorus Index was designed as a screening tool for use by soil conservation field staff and nutrient management planners to rank the relative vulnerability of agricultural fields as sources of phosphorus (P) loss to surface waters. Development of individual P Indices in the Mid-Atlantic Region has yielded state-specific versions that differ in specific content and numeric calculation. However, each state P Index incorporates a measure of P solubility or relative availability of P in land-applied nutrient amendments. Our goal was to reach a regional consensus on a common approach and process for incorporating P solubility into state-specific P Index determinations. The Phosphorus Source Coefficient (PSC) represents the relative proportion of the total P applied to the field that is potentially subject to loss with drainage water. The PSC is a quantifiable characteristic of the nutrient amendment and is independent of the characteristics of the soil to which the amendment is applied. Based upon a review of available literature comparing losses of dissolved P in runoff from soils that had been amended with different fertilizers, manures and biosolids, Mid-Atlantic PSC “book values” were developed. These book values will be adopted by all states in the region for five categories of nutrient amendments. In addition, Mid-Atlantic states are working to develop a common approach to quantifying PSC values from a laboratory test that will soon be available to state and commercial testing laboratories. Ultimately, conservation or nutrient management planners who do not wish to rely on book value PSCs will be able to submit nutrient amendments to laboratories to determine a PSC value that is specific to that amendment.

Ethiopia, Southwest Ethiopia, Omo River. A Dassanech man in full tribal regalia participates in a dance during a month-long ceremony. He wears a cheetah skin draped on his backs and a black ostrich-feather headdress. He dances holding a long stick and a simulated shield. His face is smeared with mud giving him a singular appearance.The Dassanech people live in the Omo Delta of southwest Ethiopia, one of the largest inland deltas in the world. It is also one of the least accessible and least developed parts of East Africa. As such, the culture, social organization, customs and values of the people have changed less than elsewhere.The Dassanech speak a language of Eastern Cushitic origin. They practice animal husbandry and fishing as well as agriculture.

My bronze sculptures and paintings are my way to tell stories. If they bring to you a fond memory of a time, place or experience then I have done my job well.

I love that I get to create personal experiences for you the viewer. That’s what art is truly about.

I am an Alberta girl at heart but with a number of years in Saskatchewan in a farming community I feel like that gave me lots of experiences to draw from.

Now farming in Alberta, I continue to rely on the rural lifestyle for my subject matter.

I have also been honored to create many commissioned sculptures for monuments and personal collections that encompass a wide variety of subject matter.

If you have an idea for a sculpture in your home or yard lets make it happen! Bronzes are also a great way to memorialize a loved one or event.

It would be an honor to talk with you about a design.

Simply put…………..I love what I do!

Download Press Release about Crowdsourcing

What was the purpose of the crowdsourcing?

  • To provide a public online platform in which each Finalist organization can pose two research questions related to their adaptive challenge and receive input from a wide range of contributors — beyond the “usual suspects.”
  • To create a cross-disciplinary, open dialogue in a sector that too often keeps conversations isolated in silos of artists, administrators, or funders.

Where did it take place?

Written contributions were gathered on in the comments section of unique blog posts dedicated to each Finalist.

You can read each of the Finalists’ entries and research questions here:

Who contributed?

“The crowd” in this initiative was composed of:

  • Special contributors identified by the Finalists: Each Finalist organization identified and specially invited at least 10 people to contribute.
  • Each Finalists’ broader stakeholders: Any and all stakeholders from a Finalist’s community was invited to contribute.
  • Special contributors identified by ArtsFwd (refer to the list of special contributors at the bottom of this page): Thinkers from a range of sectors were invited by ArtsFwd, each of whom committed to contributing responses to at least two of the Challenge Finalist entries.
  • The ArtsFwd community: The ArtsFwd team engaged our community through email, social media, and targeted outreach to contribute insightful ideas and responses to the two questions each Finalist organizations posed to the crowd.
  • The public: Anyone who became aware of the Challenge in the public sphere was invited to contribute.

What is happening now that the crowdsourcing phase is over?

The new thinking that has been shared by “the crowd” will inform each organization’s understanding of their adaptive challenge. Each Finalist organization will each revise and re-submit their adaptive challenge project as a proposal for consideration in the final round and eligibility for the Challenge prize of $15,000 cash and $20,000 worth of facilitation resources.

We look forward to the contributions of all participants in this exciting experiment!

This year’s juror, Joan Snyder, is an internationally recognized painter whose work is in many public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Jewish Museum, The Guggenheim, and the Phillips Collection. In 2005, The Jewish Museum presented a 35-year survey of her work which then traveled to the Danforth Museum in Framingham, Massachusetts. Ms. Snyder has been the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. In 2007, she received a MacArthur Fellowship. She currently lives in Brooklyn and Woodstock, NY.

From hundreds of applicants this year, Ms. Snyder has chosen 31 artists who are represented by thirty-nine works in the exhibition. Gallerygoers will find artists whose work they know, as well as artists new to the New York scene. The mediums represented include watercolor, ink, collage, gouache, oil, and mixed media. The group of works reflects the eclectic mix of painters and sculptors for which the Bowery Gallery is known. Bowery Gallery exhibitions have been praised this year on and in CityArts, among other publications.

RE: Metallized caps require significant break-in time...

i like the blue phillips pp for cheap compact cap. good enough for nagra tubes. I haven't used them since the ky,s came but they are nice for power supply. I thought about trying them again recently for signal they are nice soft blurry mid and real clean sweet treble. much better then the awful wima red. I know this is bad but years ago I used to put one across a electro for ps bi pas in preamps and they used to sound really good.

Does Wwise work with Unity 5.5.2?

0 votes
I am just starting on a new project and we are deciding what version of Unity to use, and I think that the team is planning on using the newest version, 5.5.2. This is my first project using Unity, so I was just wondering if the different version is going to affect the integration process? Has it been tested yet? Any information I could get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm working on a small side project with Unity 5.5.2 and Wwise 2016.2.2. We haven't tested everything yet, but we're definitely able to play sounds.

Croatia celebrates as it joins the EU

CroatiaCroatia has become the 28th member of the European Union today.  Just over two decades after declaring independence from socialist Yugoslavia and being engulfed in war this beautiful country and popular holiday destination has become a part of the EU.

The most popular holiday resorts in Croatia include those in the north on the Dalmatian Coast; the Dubrovnik Riviera resorts in the south, such as Plat, Mlini, and Cavtat; and those on the Istrian Riviera, which include Porec, Pula, and Rovinj. And there are some beautiful islands, such as Brac, Korcula, and Hvar.

The 28 EU member states have a combined population of 507 million people.  Croatians are celebrating today as their country is set to become even more popular as a getaway for tourists.  It is hoped that Croatia’s accession will strengthen Europe as it faced global challenges.

Croatia began formal accession talks in 2005 after it applied for EU membership in 2003. The accession treaty was signed by leaders from the EU and Croatia in December 2011.  Croatia is the second country from the former Yugoslavia area to join the EU, following Slovenia’s accession in 2004.

Travel Tip: The Croatian currency is the Kuna, which is divided into 100 lipas.Don’t rely on Euros.

Arizona Attorney General

Mark Brnovich

AG Horne: Bill to Replace Law Enforcement in Colorado City Passes Senate Committee Unanimously

PHOENIX (Wednesday, February 08, 2012) -- A bill which would have the effect of replacing law enforcement in Colorado City with the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office this morning passed the Senate Government Reform Committee unanimously.

Attorney General Tom Horne testified that, of 17 bills he has suggested to the legislature, this one has the highest priority in terms of the safety and well being of Arizona citizens.

Young women trapped in polygamist arrangements with much older men, who had escaped from Colorado City, have stated that other women trying to escape were caught by the local police (referred to as “Marshalls”) and forcefully returned to their husbands. In one case, the husband threatened “blood atonement” if the woman tried again escape, which involves execution by a method too horrible to describe here.

Attorney General Horne has organized a task force of federal, state, and county law enforcement officers, to deal with the Colorado City problem. They all agree that the first priority for dealing with that problem is replacement of local law enforcement, because existing law enforcement has expressly committed itself to following the dictates of Warren Jeffs, rather than enforcing the laws of the state, as they are sworn to do.

Numerous cases have been documented where the “Marshalls” refuse to investigate serious crimes against the property and persons of “apostates” or other non followers of Warren Jeffs, when the perpetrators were followers of Mr. Jeffs. The “Marshalls” have also prevented enforcement of court orders with respect who can occupy land. When a court appointed official came to Colorado City to enforce court orders, the Chief of Police pulled him over and threatened to arrest him for criminal trespass if he attempted to enforce court orders, as opposed to the desires of the FLDS Church.
AG Horne, in his testimony cited other examples of local police following the desires of Mr. Jeffs, rather than their sworn duty to follow the law.

The law provides that a local police agency can be decertified if more than half of its individual police officers had their licenses taken away in the previous 8 years. This would include Colorado City, and may apply in other cases as well. However, decertification of the law enforcement agency would not occur unless the Attorney General determined that the problem was systemic, and the County Board of Supervisors would have to vote to have the Sheriff takeover local law enforcement duties. Mohave County officials have indicated their willingness to do that in this case. The Sheriff’s office would be paid by the city for law enforcement duties.

A copy of the bill is attached.

St Peter’s Church

There has been a church on the present site since the 12th century, when it was dedicated to St Peter, although it is possible that an earlier Saxon church existed there previously.

Although Babraham was a wealthy village thanks to its wool trade, in 1445 the vicarage of Babraham was exempted from taxation, due to its poverty, and in 1535 it was said to be the poorest living in Camps deanery.

John Hullier was vicar of Babraham from 1549 and served the parish for about six years.. On April 16 1556, Maundy Thursday, he was burned at the stake on Jesus Green in Cambridge for heresy (refusing to renounce the Protestant faith).

In 1851 average attendances were 90 people at the morning service and 190 in the afternoon.

Source: Babraham Chronicle compiled by Mary Symonds

The following comes from
The Parish Church of St Peter, Babraham – A Simple Guide by C.C. Ingrey

  • The Church Communion Rail is Jacobean, and bears the date 1665 (the reign of Charles the Second).
  • The solid oak frame of the altar was made by the Estate Carpenter in 1896, at a cost of £19-18-1d.
  • The Church Organ was built in 1929 by Messrs. Hunter of London, consisting of 715 pipes made of wood and metal. Dr Alan Gray, of Trinity College, Cambridge, gave the opening recital.
  • The Vestry Door was purchased in 1961 from the demolished Old Perse School for Boys in Cambridge.
  • Electricity was installed in the Church in 1955.
  • Between the years 1892-1958, a No. 8 Tortoise Stove was used for heating – members of the congregation sitting at the back of the Church were warm, but the East End was ‘most uncomfortable’.

Boss BB-1X Bass Driver Effects Pedal

EMI starts from Rs. 823.06. Click here for options.

Shop Brand : Boss
Shop All: Effect Pedals

The BOSS BB-1X Bass Driver is a premium stompbox designed to make your bass sound bold and punchy. More than just a standard compact bass pedal, the BB-1X is like a preamp, a crucial component in creating quality sound. It captures the essence and subtle nuances of your bass, amp, and playing and emphasizes all their best characteristics.

Incorporating BOSS' latest MDP technology, the BB-1X delivers a wide range of superior sounds, from natural clean tones to heavy distortion. It adapts and responds to any playing style or register, but never loses the body and core tone of your instrument. The BB-1X's natural-sounding distortion preserves the high definition and dynamics reflected in the finest details of your sound. The BB-1X provides a clear sonic outline to enhance your sound, yet never muffles your low end. With the Blend knob, you can easily adjust your tone by mixing the direct signal with the effect sound.

Low, High, and Drive knobs offer an extremely wide range of sound creation. These controls not only shape the frequencies, but change the characteristics of the tone as well.

The Line Out jack on the BB-1X goes beyond a standard DI out, providing a newly crafted and enhanced direct sound for reaching larger audiences through a PA system. The "1X" in the BB-1X's name represents the pedal's premium look, sound, and feel. Whether you're defining your standard tone or spicing up your sound for soloing, the BB-1X Bass Driver is a must-have for every modern bassist.

Much More Than a Normal Bass Stompbox
Don't let the appearance of the BB-1X fool you-it's not just another compact effect pedal. Rather than a standard bass stompbox that's used occasionally for musical passages or solos, the BB-1X functions more like a preamp and DI that enhances and refines your entire sound. While many preamps color your sound or drastically change its character, the BB-1X is different. It emphasizes and invigorates the natural characteristics of your bass and amp, as well as the nuance of your playing style. Simply put, the BB-1X Bass Driver takes your normal rig and makes it sound even better.

Endless Possibilities for Creating Your Core Tone
All bassists are concerned with body, punch, and other fundamental sound elements, and need a wide range of adjustability to achieve their core tone. This is where the BB-1X really shines. With BOSS latest technology, you have endless possibilities for producing a polished professional sound. In combination with the High and Low tone knobs, the Blend knob provides exceptional adjustability to dial in the perfect balance to nail your personal tone.

The BB-1X Sound Isn't Smoke and Mirrors
In order to get a punchy sound with conventional bass pedals, the frequency range is typically narrowed down, resulting in a somewhat unnatural sound. In addition, the low end can get muffled while trying to achieve a transparent, high-definition distortion tone. As the distortion level is increased, the dynamic response is decreased, which limits your musical expression.

Thanks to the advanced technology from BOSS, the BB-1X analyzes the bass signal from several different dimensions in real time. An enormous amount of processing is performed according to the instrument, playing style, phrasing, dynamics, and more. This provides a wide range of possibilities to shape and enhance your sound without altering the fundamental tone of your instrument and amp. Combining solid low end with natural-sounding, high-definition distortion, the BB-1X delivers the dynamic response required to reflect the unique individual expression of every modern bassist.

Specially Tuned Line Out Jack for Impressive Direct Sound
On stage, the bass signal is typically split into two separate outputs using a DI box: one output goes to your bass amp, while the second output goes directly to the PA. The BB-1X features a convenient balanced Line Out jack that functions as a DI when you need it. But make no mistake, this is not your basic line out-BOSS has specially tuned it for superior tone.

The signature stage sound you've created with your amplifier and the DI sound presented to the audience can be quite different, because the PA engineer's main consideration is an overall balanced sound of the entire band. After consulting with many top bassists and pro PA engineers, BOSS carefully considered their suggestions and incorporated some unique enhancements into the BB-1X's Line Out.

The body and core tone produced by the BB-1X's Line Out is not the result of simply boosting the low end, which can result in an unbalanced band mix through the PA. Its special tuning provides a full spectrum of balanced sound, while never losing the body, punch, and presence of your individual tone.

  • Bold, punchy sound that invigorates the original tone and responsiveness of your bass and amp
  • Contains BOSS' latest distortion, which adapts to every register and never muffles your low end
  • Blend knob allows for mixing the direct signal with the effect signal
  • Independent Low and High knobs for ultra-wide tonal adjustment
  • Two output jacks: a normal output for a bass amp and a Line Out for a balanced connection directly to a PA or recorder
  • The Line Out jack provides a modern and enhanced direct sound that brings out new characteristics in your tone
  • The newest member of the special-edition X-series BOSS compact pedals, which offer premium looks, sound, and feel

Supro 1600 Supreme 25 Watt 1x10 Combo Amp

FuturePay tabs up to $3,000.

The Supro 1600 Supreme is an all-tube tribute to one of the great guitar icons of the British Invasion. This historic, “Classic Series” combo is a replica of the Chicago-made 1×10 amplifier used extensively by the Stones throughout decades of rock and roll hits.

The original 1959 version of the 1600 Supreme amplifier was sold bearing either the famous Supro lightning bolt or the logo of the Oahu brand—which, at the time, was also manufactured and owned by parent company Valco. Although mechanically similar to the 6973-powered Supro version, the Oahu used a pair of 6V6 power tubes in its Class-A output stage, achieving remarkable projection and clarity for a small- format combo amp.

With ample headroom for use with pedals and plenty of volume on tap for playing live, the new Supro 1600 Supreme carries on this legacy as the the no-frills, grab-and-go amplifier. From warm jazz and clean country twang to dirty blues and hard rock, the Supreme projects loud, clear, punchy tone, with unrivaled clarity, touch dynamics and low noise floor—even when pushed into glorious 6V6 power-tube overdrive.

The legendary Supro preamp found in the 1600 Supreme features a pair of parallel gain stages fed into a shared tone knob. This versatile, dual-input preamp allows two instruments to share the same combo amplifier, as well as providing the convenient option of plugging a single instrument into IN1+2, for double the gain. The two inputs can also be used with an A/B or A/B/Y switch to accomplish channel switching for both clean and dirty tones with one guitar.

The power section found in the 1600 Supreme provides the distinctive attack, touch sensitivity and natural tube compression that has become known as the hallmark of vintage Class-A 6V6 tone. This uniquely American, vintage-correct output stage pushes a custom, high-power 10? driver that utilizes the same voice coil, enormous magnet and high-end suspension found in the award-winning BD12 speaker found in the Black Magick amplifier. True to the construction of the vintage Oahu, there is no beam blocker in front of the 1600 speaker, facilitating maximum throw and crystal-clear treble response from this vintage inspired tube amplifier.

  • 1959 Vintage Supro Cosmetics and Circuitry
  • 2 Channels with Parallel Link and shared tone control
  • 25 Watts Cathode-Bias "Class-A" Power Amp
  • Ample headroom for live performance with pedals
  • 1/10" Custom-voiced Supro BD10 speaker
  • EXT speaker jack for matching extension cabinet
  • 3X JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes
  • Gold faceplate
  • Black Rhino Hide Tolex

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney is laying off financial advisors, but the big bank denies that it has any major layoff planned, as was reported earlier this week by Fox Business News.

Fox caused a stir when it reported Wednesday that “someone with direct knowledge of the matter” had told the network that Morgan Stanley was planning “layoff scenarios” running into the thousands of employees, and that those getting the sack would include not just financial advisors, but also traders and investment bankers.

A Morgan Stanley spokesman interviewed by On Wall Street denied the story, saying, “anyone reporting that we are about to start laying off thousands of people is going to be seriously embarrassed."

It’s true, the spokesman said, that the company laid off 240 mostly younger financial advisors in the first quarter, and that it has announced earlier that was likely to lay off another similar number of “poorly performing” advisors during the second quarter (the actual number who were dropped will be announced on July 26). But there are no mass layoffs, or layoffs of other categories of employees, planned at this time.

The talk of Morgan Stanley layoffs comes amid news that all the major Wall Street banks are suffering hits to their top lines, although at the same time a number are expected to post improved profits.  An exception was JPMorgan Chase, which on Thursday reported a 7% climb in second-quarter revenue to $27.4 billion, with the analysts’ consensus forecast for second-quarter profit coming in at $5.4 billion.

Most analysts are expecting worse figures for some of the other big banks, though, with the NY Times reporting that Goldman Sachs revenues are expected to fall by 3.5% from a year ago, while Bank of America revenues could fall by as much as 15%. Morgan Stanley is also expected to report lower revenues for the quarter.

Donald Watson, RN, AHA, TC, joins Baystate Franklin Medical Center Mental Health Unit

September 24, 2015

Donald Watson, RN, AHA, TC, has recently joined Baystate Franklin Medical Center as the new nurse manager for the Mental Health Unit (MHU).

Before entering the medical field, Watson worked for several years as the director of manufacturing for Sci-Tech Plastics in West Hatfield, MA. A career change prompted Watson to consider medicine and he entered Springfield Technical Community College’s nursing program. While in nursing school, Watson interned at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield and continued as a registered nurse in many departments, including the intensive care unit, maternity, orthopedics, and telemetry. He later joined the emergency medicine team at Cooley Dickinson hospital in Northampton.

In 2013, Watson joined Baystate Health as the administrative nursing supervisor at Baystate Wing Memorial Hospital in Palmer. As a supervisor, he guided a dynamic team of health professionals to ensure quality patient care. “I’ve learned from years of medical experience in a hospital setting to concentrate on what you have control over – my job and the patients I care for. At the end of the day, providing the best possible care for patients is what matters most.”

A locked, twenty-two bed unit, the Mental Health Unit at Baystate Franklin serves a patient population of acute adolescent and adult psychiatric patients. As MHU nurse manager, Watson will provide clinical leadership and oversee daily patient care. He will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of professionals from the emergency department and pharmacy, creating a cohesive work environment for employees and smooth transitions for patients. Additionally, Watson will cultivate and lead professional development trainings for seasoned staff members. Watson looks forward to continuing in a clinical leadership role and sharing his passion for the medical field with employees, noting, “Since nursing has been my second career, I went in with the appreciation that no matter how bad a day may be at work, I have tried to do good for someone, to make a patient’s day better.”

A Huntington native, Watson and his wife, Tiffany, a registered nurse for Baystate Medical Center, reside in Hatfield with their three children. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and is a certified SCUBA instructor. Watson is excited to begin his new role with the Mental Health Unit at Baystate Franklin Medical Center, “I look forward to working with a multi-faceted team of professionals who are progressive and dedicated caregivers.”
