Nisshin Maru Returns from Whaling Shrouded in Mystery.
The Japanese whaling ship that was recently part of an altercation with environmental groups has returned to dock with 508 whales and many questions.
The well-publicised fracas with Greenpeace and the New Zealand government resulted after the vessel experienced a below-decks fire that crippled the ship and killed a crewmember. Already on a highly contentious whaling mission that had been subjected to protests by the group Sea Shepherd, the accident prompted concern over potential oil and chemical spills that could be a result of the blaze. The fire left the vessel stranded without power for ten days, before being able to make repairs and limp home.
The Nisshin Maru was one of a six-vessel fleet targeted to catch 860 whales this season, which is allowed as part of the scientific whaling program. Japan regularly states that the practice provides crucial data on populations, distribution, and feeding habits of the mammals to the International Whaling Commission (IWC), and thus allowed, despite the IWC's ban on commercial whaling implemented in 1986. Environmental groups have long held that the hunts are a pretext for keeping commercial whaling alive, as the meat is sold as a culinary delicacy after the research.
Japan's Fisheries have stated that no press conference will be held until after the full investigation has progressed, but it speaks volumes about the current climate surrounding whaling, as the early return of the Nisshin Maru is the first time in 20 years that Japan has had to cancel a whaling mission.
French Court Fines Divers
Four divers accused of removing artefacts from a Roman shipwreck have been fined €1,500 each. The divers had removed 30 objects from the wreck over a four-year period the court in Marseille was told, including a number of Roman wine vases.
The wreck, located of the coast of Ciotat, was first discovered in 1984 and since then the French authorities have reported that of the 1,000 wine vases originally recorded, a 2005 inventory dive stated just under 280 remain at the site.
Scottish Seals Enjoy New Protection
Forty percent drops in common seal numbers over the last ten years has resulted in the Scottish Executive extending the closed season on shooting seals.
The areas of Orkney, between Dunbar and Stonehaven and Shetland have all been affected by the extension of the Conservation of Seals Order, and the shooting of seals here will only be possible with a licence.
Although the Scottish Executive has stated that shootings are not alone to blame for declining seal populations, it is hoped that this will at least slow their demise, giving scientists and biologist time to understand this dramatic change.
How to Defrost a Colossal Squid!
It has been reported on the bbc.co.uk website, that the best way to defrost a colossal squid is to use an industrial-scale microwave oven.
The squid in question was caught in February by New Zealand fishermen in Antarctic waters, and has been kept frozen since to allow detailed study by scientists. This has raised the issue of how best to thaw out this marine giant, without some parts rotting whilst others are still defrosting.
The 495kg, 10 metre long Mesonvchoteuthis Hamiltoni would take days to defrost fully, with parts of the exterior liable to have rotted by the time the interior had fully deliquesced.
The solution could be to use one of the industrial microwave equivalents used for treating timber, which should be large enough to hold the leviathan.
The fishermen had been fishing for Patagonian toothfish, a suspected favourite of the colossal squid, when they snagged something huge. After two strenuous hours, they managed to reel in the huge creature, quickly freezing it in their hold to transport back to New Zealand for examination.
It is believed to be the largest colossal squid ever caught, with officials at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, in Wellington, hoping to embalm the squid and put it on display for all to examine and enjoy.

South Africa's ruling ANC party ended marathon closed-door talks early Tuesday morning resolving to remove the scandal-tainted Jacob Zuma as head of state after he refused to resign, local media reported.
The party's powerful 107-member national executive committee (NEC) met for 13 hours at a hotel outside Pretoria, and decided it would "recall" Zuma from his job as national president, several local independent media said.
"It took a brutal 13 hours, but the ANC's national executive committee has decided to recall President Jacob Zuma as head of state," the Times newspaper said citing unnamed sources.
Other media reported that the party will write to Zuma ordering him to stand down as president of Africa's most advanced economy, after he had asked for a few more months in office.
Earlier, state broadcaster SABC said the ANC had given Zuma 48 hours to turn in his resignation.
There was no official announcement and ANC officials were not reachable to confirm the reports.
The party committee can "recall" the head of state, essentially forcing him to step down, but he is under no constitutional obligation to obey.
He will then likely be ousted via a parliamentary vote of no-confidence within days.
African National Congress chief Cyril Ramaphosa reportedly left the meeting that ran late into the night to meet Zuma at his official Pretoria residence. His motorcade was seen returning to the venue of the party meeting at midnight after about an hour. Three hours after that, the talks closed.
Ramaphosa, the de-facto president-in-waiting, had been in negotiations with Zuma who rejected an earlier request from party leaders to step down more than a week ago.
The stalemate around Zuma's future plunged South Africa into political uncertainty over who is running the country, with a series of public events cancelled including last Thursday's keynote annual State of the Nation address to parliament.
"We know you want this matter to be finalised," Ramaphosa, 65, told a party rally in Cape Town on Sunday to rapturous cheering.

Canine Heartworm FAQ's : What you need to know!
Canine heartworm disease is a very real risk for dogs, particularly in our area of the country. Here are some things you should know!
What is canine heartworm disease?
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects dogs. It is caused by parasitic worms living in the major blood vessels of the lungs and ,occasionally, the heart.
How do dogs get heartworms?
Heartworms are spread through the bite of a mosquito. A mosquito bites an infected dog and now carries something called microfilariae – otherwise known as juvenile heartworms. This same mosquito can land on another dog, bite it, and inject the microfilaria into that dog's bloodstream. If that dog is not on heartworm prevention, then these juvenile heartworms will slowly mature into adult heartworms over a 6 month period and make their way into the dog's heart. Adult heartworms can cause many health issues, including death.
Are heartworms contagious from dog to dog?
No. A dog cannot contract heartworms directly from another dog. Heartworms are spread through an infected mosquito bite.
When should I have my dog tested for heartworms?
Dogs should be tested for heartworms YEARLY, and before beginning any prevention program or when changing from one preventative to another. This validates the product warranty on the prevention that you purchase.
It is required that your dog has updated negative heartworm test on file before prevention can be sold.
The "prepatent period" (the amount of time it takes for microfilariae) for heartworm disease is about 6 months. During this time, heartworm tests will be negative even if a dog is actually infected. Therefore, puppies younger than 6 months old are not generally tested for heartworms. Instead, puppies should be started on preventative medication during their initial puppy vaccinations.
Dogs should be at least 6 months old and should get tested yearly after that.
What do I need to do to prevent heartworm infections?
Prevention is the key! It is always cheaper, healthier, and easier to prevent heartworms rather than to treat for them. At a glance, heartworm testing and prevention can look pricey, but you can buy 7 YEARS of prevention for less than the cost of treating your dog ONE TIME for heartworms.
Do I need to give heartworm prevention all year round?
Absolutely!! Heartworm prevention works retroactively – meaning, it works by killing what your dog has been infected with in the last 30 days. This is why it's so important not to miss a dose. Missing doses can also affect your product guarantee. Heartworm prevention companies guarantee their products. However, if your dog has missed doses or has not come in for a heartworm check before switching products, then this can negate any guarantee.
Is there a treatment for heartworm disease?
Yes, there is a treatment option available for heartworm disease. Treatment involves admitting your dog into the hospital for several days and then several subsequent visits. If your dog is heartworm positive, treatment is strongly recommended. If you dog needs treatment, please give us a call and we would be happy help.
How do you check for heartworms?
A heartworm test is a simple blood test that we do in-house. It typically takes around 15 minutes for the test to run completely.
Do I need an appointment for a heartworm check?
Yes! You can give us a call at (270)527-7387 or request an appointment through our website.

Was troubled by your dilution of the Word of God – Mat 7:21-23 etc. When Jesus said He never knew them – He means he never knew them as walking in His light fully. Many Christians today are saved, born-again, but are not walking worthy – consider the church of laodecia in Rev chapter 3. The word says "without holiness, no man shall see the Lord"
Please don't be troubled! I have no intention whatsoever to dilute the Word of God. Considering the church of the Laodiceans, I'll make my point.
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 3:19: As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Verses 14 thru 21 is speaking directly to the pastor (angel) of the church of Laodicia about his own flock. In verse 19 Jesus is telling them in the same verse that there will be a special honor granted to them if they will just repent of the wickedness mentioned in the previous verses. Then in verse 20 the Lord is trying to tell them that he's on the outside looking in. He's telling these born again folks that unless they let him back in control there is a chastising (punishment) on the way. Verse 20 has absolutely nothing to do with ones salvation but a sincere desire on the Lords part to come in and be where He belongs in the first place!
The only verse I found that came close to your example was Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: I would assume this is the one. Look at the word underlined! That word is Holiness from the Greek (hagiasmon) which means "Sanctification". How then are we sanctified? We're sanctified by the Blood of the Lamb when we're born again! Therefore this verse means that unless you are sanctified (born again), you're not going to see Him. Isn't that the Gospel we've been proclaiming here in the first place? It doesn't in any way mean that your going to loose your salvation.
Normally, I don't revert to the Greek, Hebrew & Aramaic because the Holy Spirit always speaks thru His Word plainly in the King James English, but this time seemed appropriate. Actually there's no harm in dividing (dissecting) the Word of God into the original language. Have you ever considered what Paul meant when he penned 2nd Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. and in Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Then there's the thing you mentioned about Jesus saying 'He never knew them". It's contained in these verses: Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Would you ever call Jesus a liar? I wouldn't be so foolish. Jesus also said: John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Jesus would be lying to those folks in Matthew 7 if they had once been saved, and then lost their salvation. Why? Because Jesus knows His sheep. He would have to tell them "I knew you when you were saved, but I guess I don't know you now" and not "I never knew you". If He said "I never knew you" to those who had been saved before, He'd be lying and we know the Savior would never lie!

Why Smoking Is so Hard to Quit, and What You Can Do About It
We already know that smoking cigarettes is incredibly detrimental to your health as well as highly addictive; many former smokers say quitting was the hardest thing they've ever done. But what exactly about those tiny little rolls of tobacco, and the act of smoking them, keeps smokers bound to their habits with such incredible strength?
The American Lung Association describes the different components of smoking addiction as parts of a three-link chain: physical, mental, and social. These three different factors act together in maintaining a hold over the smoker and encouraging continued cigarette use.
Physically: The nicotine present in all tobacco products (not just cigarettes) causes smokers to feel a surge in dopamine, one of the feel-good goos in our brain, whenever they smoke a cigarette. As soon as that dopamine wears off, the smoker gets a craving for more, and so another cigarette satisfies the craving – but only momentarily. Smokers build up a tolerance to as well as physical dependence on nicotine, so that as time goes on they need more of it to reach the same dopamine levels as before. This leads to an increase in the number of cigarettes smoked in an average amount of time, which continues to intensify the cravings and dependence while just trying to reach the same point of satisfaction.
Mentally: The act of smoking becomes part of a daily routine quickly. Smokers have a tendency to light up at the same time every day, like when they grab a coffee or during their morning commute. They also might yearn for a smoke when they're feeling bad, like stressed out from work or tired from a long night. Addiction is much more than a bad habit, but habitualized actions are part of addiction.
Socially: Many smokers start out as social smokers, or people who smoke in a social setting to break the ice ("Do you have a light?") or as an excuse to partake in a certain event, like sneaking a break from work. Likening smoking to a social activity encourages the feel-good parts of the brain to feel even better, making quitting even less appealing.
The ALA believes that the key to beating a smoking addiction is to tackle all three parts of the chain. For the physical effects, there are seven FDA-approved medications that can help smokers quit and help with withdrawal symptoms. Mentally, the smoker should learn to identify moments throughout their daily lives that will trigger a cigarette craving, so that they can be prepared to deal with them by adjusting behaviors or even avoid triggering moments altogether. The social aspect of smoking can also be used to curb the addiction; quitters should join groups of like-minded non-smokers who will support their decision rather than tempt or tease them.
Of course we already know the easiest way to avoid developing a smoking addiction: don't start.

And The Best Workout Is… !
Answer yes or no to the following statements:
- I find myself smiling during my workout.
- I sometimes even sing along with the music. (Or, even though I'm totally not someone who would ever sing along at a workout class, I don't mind when others do because I'm having so much fun!)
- Ideas come to me while I'm working out or on my way to home/office/next stop.
- I feel energized not depleted when I'm done.
If you've answered yes to any of these, you're in a good groove. Notice that none of the statements have anything to do with physical "results." Those will inevitably come if you have a workout that makes you feel good enough to keep going back.
That's what I always say when people ask me. Plain and simple. We put so much pressure and guilt on ourselves to workout. Guilt and pressure are not sustainable motivations and they're certainly not healthy ones. If we could ease up on ourselves and the definition of "best" or "good enough" we'd be healthier and happier, physically and mentally. A workout doesn't have to be perfect, you just have to move. The more fun you have doing something, the more likely you are to do it again. That's how to sustain a habit–by enjoying how it makes you feel!
Your body will tell you what you need on any given day. If I'm grinding through a project, I've learned that a high-intensity workout doesn't charge me up, it actually depletes me. Something slower, like a power yoga class, gives me strength without zapping my energy. If I'm feeling blah, that's when I need a jolt to my system and it's HIIT time. If I'm frustrated, maybe I just need to dance it out. If I'm in a great mood, sometimes I just want to dance it out! You just have to start paying attention: What feels good today isn't what necessarily turns us on tomorrow.
I know that I thrive on variety. I need cardio and a relentless playlist. I also need to sculpt. I also need stretch. Sometimes I want to zone out. Other times I want to focus. So this rotation always does me right.
Classical pilates is my first love. It's a perfect workout for someone just beginning their wellness journey or a pro athlete! I started pilates in my 20s because I hated the idea of getting sweaty in front of other people. I took lessons with a friend of a friend who had a reformer in his apartment. No one saw me sweat and struggle like a beetle on my back. But as I grew stronger, it gave me the confidence to try new things and embrace working out in a group. I often joke that it's the hardest work to hardly move. The movements are slow, small, and deliberate. Some people find it too slow. But to me, the focus can be so satisfying. You shake and fight for it. It's the best baseline workout to get rid of any kinks that age, life, injury, and other workouts may have wrought. Stack your spine, release those hips, stretch those hammies. Walk out taller, feel lighter.
Stephanie Eris at Exhale is a yoga witch. She casts a spell on everyone who comes to her class. With her super soothing voice, ice blue eyes, tattoos, and a mainly black wardrobe–she's not a sunshine and butterflies yogi. She's a freaking yoga witch. She's got mother earth power not flower child power. Her flows are so deep and athletic. An hour and fifteen flies. There are days when nothing is going right or I feel kind of down, I show up at Stephanie's and she works her magic. Abracadabra–better day! Plus, her eclectic playlist from 90's girl-grunge to Motown to mellow indie is always empowering.
My longest fitness relationship is with my trainer Katia Pryce (pictured throughout), founder of Dancebody. I met her seven years ago and I can't quit her. Dancebody hits everything for me. Dance like nobody's watching? Check. Warm, inspiring instructors? Check. Ridiculous playlist? Definitely. Ridiculous booty-boosting? Uh-huh. Arm-sculpting? You got it. A crazy creative abs series where you feel it in every ab and ab-adjacent muscle? Every time. I'm never bored. I always leave happy and feeling like Beyonce. And if you're not in NYC, you can stream her workouts anywhere.
No one distracts you from the hard work at hand like super-instructor Stacey Griffith at Soul-Cycle. I never realize how much effort I'm putting in because I'm so absorbed in The Stacey G. Show. She makes you laugh. She makes you think. She makes you dance. She makes you work without even knowing it. G stands for Genius. You can get your Stacey-isms and her signature motivation off the bike from her book, Two Turns From Zero.
I do other workouts too. But these are my regulars. I don't do them every week but I always come back to them to keep my mind and body humming. I'm at my best when I'm cheering for myself and everyone else in the room during The Stacey Hour at Soul. I'm at my best when I'm at Katia's Beyonce dance party. I'm at my best when I'm moving from places deep within my core and extending out through Stephanie's expansive flow or from pilates. These are my best workouts because they make me want to show up, be with them, listen, and follow for an hour. It never feels like an obligation or something to drag myself to. The time flies. I leave aglow.
At its most basic, a workout is about the physical. But at its best, a workout is a relationship. It's about who and what you connect with—and perhaps even more importantly, how you connect with yourself and your own body. It's about where you are in your life. What you're able to give and what you're able to get out of it. Strength begets more strength. Calm more calm. Joy more joy.

Beware the 'silent evil'
By Jim Poling Sr.
Black flies and mosquitoes are true nuisances but at least you can see and hear them. A new danger developing in cottage country is one you usually don't see – until it is too late. Blacklegged ticks are moving north and bringing Lyme disease. Lyme is an infection that can cause joint pain, memory loss and extreme tiredness. It can be a seriously debilitating disease affecting the brain and neurological tissue.
Blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, used to be confined to southern Ontario – in fact mainly to the northeastern United States, until a warming climate allowed them to migrate north. Now they are found in wide areas across Canada.
In 2017, confirmed Canadian cases of Lyme disease totalled 2,025, an astounding increase from 144 cases in 2002. Ontario in 2017 had 959 confirmed or probable cases compared with only a couple of dozen or so back in 2002.
Various studies indicate that the ticks are advancing north by 35 to 55 kilometres a year. They are well established in the Barrie-Orillia region.
Ticks carrying Lyme disease are not yet a huge threat in cottage country. They are moving steadily in our direction, however, and people should be building awareness, learning how to avoid them and how to examine themselves and their pets for ticks attached to their skin.
The Ontario government has advised that areas not known to have ticks are not necessarily free of them.
"While the probability is low, it is possible to find an infected tick almost anywhere in Ontario," says a government website on Lyme disease.
Examining your body for ticks after being in the woods is an important habit to develop. Unlike mosquitoes, which can infect you with West Nile disease with a single bite, ticks need time to pass along Lyme disease.
Also a tick gives off an anaesthetic while feeding on your blood so you do not feel its bite.
Medical experts say a tick has to be attached to your body for a day or more to get Lyme disease into your blood. So examining yourself promptly after being in the woods and removing any ticks is important in reducing the risk of being infected.
Ticks attached to your skin are not obvious. They can look like a small black dot, often the size of a poppy seed.
Awareness of tick and Lyme disease dangers has been helped by the experiences of two Canadian entertainers. Shania Twain lost her ability to sing because of a condition she says was brought on by Lyme disease.
She was bitten by a tick in Norfolk, Virginia in 2003 and was diagnosed as having Lyme disease. Later she developed dysphonia, which affects vocal chords and is believed to be caused by problems in brain tissue. She was told that this was related to Lyme disease.
She had surgery to correct the condition and took a 15-year break from the music business. She calls the disease a silent evil and urges people to be aware and cautious.
"You've got to check out where you are and whatever region you're in, and what the rate of Lyme disease is in the region, if you're going to go out in nature," she told an interviewer in 2017.
She is not the only high-profile person to contract the disease. Canadian singer Avril Lavigne was bedridden for five months after being bitten by a Lyme-infected tick in 2014.
Lavigne has said she felt fatigued and lightheaded for months until finally being diagnosed with the disease and treated.
"I felt like I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk, and I couldn't move," she said in a People magazine interview. "I thought I was dying."
Also, in 2006 former U.S. President George W. Bush got the disease from a tick while riding his mountain bike. It was caught early and treated successfully.
Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer, has said most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully but the key is to be aware.
"Lyme disease is preventable," he said in a recent news release. "That is why we are encouraging Ontarians to learn how to be safe and prevent tick bites. These simple precautions are the best defence for you and your family."

Spamhaus Project Releases Annual Report, Cites 32% Increase in Number of Botnet Command & Control Servers
Spamhaus Project Releases Annual Report, Cites 32% Increase in Number of Botnet Command & Control Servers
The number of botnet Command and Control (C&C) IP addresses has dramatically increased in the past year, according to the 2017 annual report from The Spamhaus Project. Spamhaus is an international nonprofit organization that tracks spam and related cyber threats such as phishing, malware and botnets; among other things, it issues Spamhaus Block Lists (SBLs), IP addresses from which Spamhaus does not recommend the acceptance of electronic mail.
Whenever Spamhaus Malware Labs comes across a botnet controller, they issue a special kind of SBL listing: A BCL listing. The BCL, which stands for Botnet Controller List, is a "drop all traffic" list intended for use by networks to null route traffic to and from botnet controllers. The Spamhaus BCL lists only IP addresses of servers set up and operated by cybercriminals for the exclusive purpose of hosting a botnet controller. According to Spamhaus, "Because these IP addresses host no legitimate services or activities, they can be directly blocked on ISP and corporate networks without risk of affecting legitimate traffic, effectively rendering harmless infected computers that may be present on their networks."
The report includes the following findings:
- Nearly 1 out of every 7 SBLs that Spamhaus issued was for a botnet controller;
- Botnet "C&C" listings increased by a massive 32% in 2017. The majority (6,588 or 68%) of botnet controllers Spamhaus found in 2017 were hosted on servers that had been ordered by cybercriminals for the sole purpose of hosting a botnet controller;
- Cybercriminals are using fraudulent names to get C&C servers hosted on legitimate cloud providers (including Amazon and Google); some cloud providers are reportedly overwhelmed with the task of trying to curb so many fraudulent listings that are created with stolen or fake identities;
- The number of IoT botnet controllers more than doubled from 393 in 2016 to 943 in 2017;
- The statistics exclude botnet controllers that are hosted on the dark web (like Tor).
The fact that botnet controllers are growing in number is not surprising, because hackers often compromise poorly secured IoT devices and recruit them into botnets. Combined with new DDoS attack vectors and techniques, such as the recent appearance of so-called pulse-wave attacks, the increase in botnet controllers increases the risk of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
The forecast for botnet activity is dire, so what should organizations do? For starters, Spamhaus recommends its products like the Botnet Controller List (BCL), Malware Domain List or Zero Reputation Domain (ZRD) to protect not only your IoT devices but also spot potential intruders and infected machines in your network. But that approach won't completely protect your network from DDoS attacks, so another important step is to deploy some sort of DDoS protection for your network, whether you purchase DDoS Protection as a Service from your ISP or hosting provider, or install it on-premises.

How bemco design and custom a roll forming machine ?
Only the imagination limits the potential applications for roll formed shapes.Roll forming can produce almost any shapes with any raw material , even two or three different material or shapes can be jointed together.Every day there maybe a new shape requires the roll forming technology.
Bemco Machinery is capable of custom roll forming design . Our engineer is comprised of some of the most experienced and respected professionals in the roll forming industry. Their previous expertise of designing for many industries can help them work out the whole solutions for you in a very short time.
When designing a new roll forming line, you should know that all the details about the desired product .
There are a few crucial elements that an engineer should considered before designing :
Material: The material is the basic considered element for roll forming design , because different roll tooling solutions basic on different materials. Suck like the coil material , yield strength of coil,it's from light gauge to heavy gauge, they will all impact the design of roll toolings. Check here to know about the material for roll forming.
Size:The other important factor of the considered element is the size of the product. As all known that roll forming machine is a continuous production line with high product volume, the line speed is not as fast as good,it's all depends on the size of the product.All the component and in-line operation equipment will be designed upon the product size, such like the cutting method ,punching method, feeding method will be all different.
Shape:The most important element for roll forming design is the product shape, it is the first step that a manufacturer choosing the right equipment ,press braking or roll forming. Roll forming is special for the very complex product shape, it will decide how many the roll forming stations will be, the max production line speed will be, what value-added equipment will be integrated etc.
Roll forming line design process overview:
Each roll forming line is special designed upon desired product.The design process step by step as follow:
- Create a CAD drawing according to client's design(material,grade ,size, shape)
- Figure out the feeding width of metal coil
- Produce the "flower"drawing of roll forming
- Layout and basic design of roll forming line according to "flower"drawing,for example the roll tooling stands, roll forming machine base type and material,roller's material etc.
- Secondary design for secondary operation such like punching, welding ,notching etc.For example ,pre-punching or post-punching.
- Control system and electrical parts design according to product volume .
- Safety design for a safety operation and protection.
- Color design according to client's design

Hi Community,
I saw this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FizzMobile, and many are complaining about SMS and MMS not working. I had similar issues with SMS/MMS but it seems to be resolved :) I wonder if others are still having similar issues? What gives....
Hey JRock,
I had MMS issues but I got an OTA message (Over The Air) configuration message from Fizz and that fixed the issue. MMS is working fine now. Here is the APN settings you need for data and MMS: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-parameters-apn
For SMS, I'm okay. I have a boring work history in SMS (which I won't go into here) but I figure some Enterprise SMS are not getting through (links take a while to come up) but I'm not using Fizz as my primary phone for the moment. It's Beta you know.
Will report back with more info as I figure it out or think I figure it out ;)

FTTH Council Europe – Interview with CEO Canovate
In the first half of 2012 Turkey saw 82% FTTH subscriber growth. Is this mainly a result of the country's economic boom, or do other factors come into play?
The number of high-speed Internet users in Turkey has grown rapidly over the last decade, for several reasons. For one thing, our population has a high percentage of young people with a great interest in technology. In addition, more and more Turnkey Residential Project customers are asking Turkey's rapidly developing construction industry to supply broadband.
Increasing penetration and faster connections have given rise to an extensive web economy in Turkey. Markets that couldn't have existed before the arrival of high-speed Internet are now blossoming. Social apps in particular are now a major part of everyday life. Turkey is home to the world's sixth-largest Facebook user population; 31.25 million people, representing about 40% of the Turkish population, have an account. Social platforms such as Twitter and Foursquare are also widely used.
Turkey is a 'rising star' for FTTH investments, along with the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions. How do the investment climate and decision-making processes in these areas differ from, for example, Europe?
Turkey is one of the fastest growing economies among OECD countries, boasting some 8-9% annual growth in recent years, so there is money to invest. Our incumbent switched from existing ADSL networks directly to FTTH instead of investing in new-generation copper-based technologies such as VDSL. Also, one of our major GSM Operators invested heavily in FTTH, in order to decrease their dependency on a fixed-line operator. The increased competition between these parties has significantly boosted FTTH deployment. Another major growth driver is the fact that many large-scale residential and office projects are offering broadband as a differentiating sales and marketing tool.
In Turkey, fibre deployment is regarded as a revolution in telecommunications and knowledge, boosting our country's economy and prosperity. The current government is strongly supporting this transition through legislation. Compared to some countries in Europe, Turkey has a liberal FTTH roll-out policy. The government doesn't impose strict rules for operators, but allows them the freedom to build their own networks. At the same time, municipalities are very cooperative when it comes to granting installation permissions and laying fibre.
Looking at fibre and component-level technologies and network topologies, which factors do clients and prospects in Turkey and the Middle East find most important?
Of course, each network topology has its pros and cons. A linear bus network may be cheaper, as it requires less cable and you don't need to purchase concentrators to accommodate copper lines or cable television networks. With a star topology, for example, networks can be easily expanded. However, fibre networks are increasingly popular, as they offer better connectivity between specific network components and faster convergence for improved network resilience, fault recovery and topology changes. In addition, fibre is more suitable for outdoor and last mile applications. Clients in the aforementioned regions primarily consider the cost of investing in various technologies, as well as the digging costs required for network deployment. Therefore, solutions are evaluated based on civil works requirements, economic feasibility and possibilities for future network growth.
How do key drivers for fibre uptake across Turkey compare to key drivers in Europe?
The ratio of young people in Turkey is high, and they have great enthusiasm for IT & Telecommunications technology. The resulting increased public demand for higher speeds is a strong driver for fibre uptake. In Europe, this driver may not be as strong as in Turkey.
Geographical distribution of our population also plays an important role. In our country, capital expenditure (CAPEX) for FTTH varies significantly with particular demographics. CAPEX per subscriber in a densely populated city centre, where many subscribers live in multi-dwelling units, is significantly lower than in rural areas, making FTTH investments in densely populated areas attractive for telecom operators. This driver is less strong in Europe, as many countries do not have such densely populated cities, without the same large number of multi-dwelling units.
Market dynamics in Turkey are also very different to those in Europe. For many years, Turkish Telecom had a monopoly. Alternative operators such as Superonline and Vodafone faced barriers in obtaining services from Turkish Telecom, who charged high prices for access to legacy fibre and copper networks. This became a strong driver for fibre uptake projects from alternative operators, and in turn, the resulting increased competition placed pressure on Turkish Telecom to step up fibre investments.
What do you think the role of European legislators should be in stimulating roll-out?
European legislators should create a favourable investment environment and provide incentives to stimulate fibre roll-out. They should make sure incentives are distributed fairly and effectively, so as not to disappoint businesses – and therefore consumers – in the short and long term. Competition and fair trade in the market place should be promoted, benefiting consumers, businesses and the community and ensuring individuals and businesses comply with laws regarding national competition, fair trade and consumer protection.
The competitive environment I've described should encourage firms to keep innovating and producing the goods and services that are most valued by consumers, at a minimum cost. In our view, fibre optic deployment should be seen as a part of an overall strategy to boost the economy. That means governments need to revise legislation and set clear guidelines to help protect investments and accelerate the deployment of fibre to the home and to the workplace.
Turkish FTTH is booming, whilst Europe lags, despite ambitious EU goals. What can Europe learn from Turkey?
Turkey joined the FTTH Ranking in the second half of 2010 and is one of the most dynamic markets and fastest growing countries in the FTTH Area. Europe has been closely watching Turkey in recent years, following the investments and success stories. For that reason Istanbul hosted the FTTH forum in November 2012.
In Turkey, fibre is widely regarded as a transformational technology, with an impact equivalent to that of fixed-line telephony in the 1880s and mobile telephony in the 1990s. In recent years, the debate has moved from 'if' or 'why' fibre should be deployed in the access network, to 'how' and 'when'. Fibre infrastructure investment is a long-term business and ROI is too long for most investors, which is why European governments should encourage them and provide incentives. We are fully aware that FTTH is clearly the only future-proof investment. After all, broadband is a real need, especially for the young people and future economy of any country.

Pearl Izumi ELITE In-R-Cool Tri Suit review
Dear Izzy, Max, and Kate,
12 years ago, when I first got into triathlon, I used to race in a one-piece tri suit. By 2006 I made the shift to a two-piece suit instead. It was really just a matter of doing something new, and triathlon "fashion" seemed to shift more towards the two-piece.
I stuck with the two-piece suit from 2006 until this season when Pearl Izumi gave me an opportunity to try out their ELITE In-R-Cool one-piece. I wasn't sure that I would like it. After all, I'd been doing the same thing for the last 8 seasons and you get comfortable with what you know.
I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I like the Pearl Izumi ELITE In-R-Cool suit. I opted for the black/white/blazing yellow option because the yellow matches my screaming yellow Pearl Izumi Tri Fly Carbon IV cycling shoes.
The ELITE suit includes a number of upgraded pro level features, including (from Pearlizumi.com):
• ELITE Transfer In-R-Cool® fabric powered by coldblack® provides superior cooling and reflective sun protection – I've used products with coldblack technology in the past and am a big believer in the materials ability to control your core temperature even on the hottest days.
• ELITE Transfer In-R-Cool® fabric features Lycra® Sport that helps garments maintain original compression levels – I raced a 70.3 in the suit and it never got baggy or loose during the 5+ hour race.
• ELITE Transfer Aero fabric is strategically placed for superior aerodynamics – this one is hard to judge, so I'll take PI's word for it. I never felt anything flapping in the wind on the bike or dragging in the water.
• Marrow stitch construction for superior next-to-skin comfort – no hotspots or rubbing.
• 10" zipper for venting – I was satisfied with the venting this provided.
• Plush elastic silicone leg gripper – my favorite feature in all of the Pearl Izumi products I've used. The leg grippers sit comfortably on your quads and hamstrings with no pinching or rubbing.
• Two back easy access envelope pockets – yep. I put some gels in these and easily accessed them during the race.
• TRI quick–dry chamois – yep.
• 9" inseam (size medium) – I like the 9″ inseam, as it provides a little more coverage from the sun.
What I learned about one-piece suits like the Pearl Izumi ELITE In-R-Cool suit is that I will be using them in long races from now on. Near the half way point of the run at Toughman Alabama, when the heat reached 95 degrees, I was beginning to overheat due to dehydration – no suit technology could have stopped that. A volunteer made several icepacks for me and stuffed them down the back and the front of my suit. Had I been wearing a two-piece the ice packs would have simply slid out of the top and fallen to the ground.
All in all I'm a big fan of this particular suit. It provides fantastic muscle compression/stability, excellent sun protection with UPF 50+, ample venting, and cutting edge cooling technology with In-R-Cool and coldblack material.
I love you,
* I was given this product for purposes of this review. However, my opinions are my own and I was under no obligation to provide a favorable review.
reviews coming soon: new GU flavors: Lemonade, Root Beer, Mizuno Wave Sayonara 2.

Excitement reached fever pitch as about 30 furry athletes lined up for the terrier race at the Otago Taieri A&P Show on Saturday.
The thrill of the chase was in the air as yapping fox terriers and Jack Russells strained against the grip of their owners, raring to set off in pursuit of the lure.
Roars of "go, go, go" quickly turned to laughter as the race got under way, about half of the dogs losing interest after a few seconds and turning back to find their owners, play with other dogs, or roll on the grass.
A few hardy little runners stuck with the pursuit though, 3-year-old fox terrier Jazz beating all the opposition to win first place.
Proud owner Johanna O'Neill, of Dunedin, said Jazz was a seasoned competitor, having competed in the terrier race twice before and placed second both times.
"She knows what to do, and she was determined to catch that lure."
The terrier race has been run for the past four years.
Race co-organiser Mike Dougherty, of Edinburgh Realty, said it was a great attraction for the public at the show.
Typically, only about half the canine competitors stuck with the race to the end, which provided a lot of amusement.
"It's a great way to end the day."
Saturday's heat meant shady spots were in demand and ice creams popular.
Otago Taieri A&P Society president Wayne Smaill estimated up to 10,000 people made the pilgrimage to the Mosgiel showgrounds for the event.
The show featured a busy programme of events, including equestrian competitions, the Otago Axemen's competitions and Big Rig truck show.

Remember "Cliff's Notes"? They were short summaries of books that would perhaps give a student enough information to pass an exam on the book, but not enough to understand the depth and importance of the written work. Many of us who were students before the invention of the internet probably relied on Cliff's Notes more than we should have.
Well, are we as Christians approaching God's Word with a "Cliff's Notes" attitude? We understand enough to think we are saved, but we fail to grasp the eternal truth and principles of what God has given us in His Word, often at our own peril. Bible studies tend to concentrate on the New Testament, ignoring the rich history and timeless principles God gave us going back to Genesis.
Pastor Mike Abendroth joins us this morning to discuss one of the most fascinating accounts of the Bible in 1 Kings Chapter 18. The unique list of characters in this account include the Prophet Elijah; Ahab, one of the worst kings of Israel; Jezebel his scheming, idolatrous wife; and the false prophets of the false god Baal. What lessons can we learn and apply from this biblical account to our world today?

DC is not Silicon Valley… and that's a good thing.
DC is not Silicon Valley and here's why
It's starting again. It's going to be different this time. No, it isn't! GET OVER IT! It's not going to happen. All you guys who are going to make a big difference… keep pushing on that rope. Keep peeing into that headwind. No matter how hard you try, Even if You're an Evan Burfield who can somehow convince "journalists," that three successive raging failed businesses were wins… even if you were the Burfmeister, you still couldn't make DC be Silicon Valley. You can't even make a government-funded Frat House branded as the epicenter of startupatude succeed. How you going to make something real happen?
Wake up DCTech because being DC is not a bad thing. And if you think not being who you ain't sucks, then pack a bag, book a flight on United to SFO and pray that the flight attendants don't beat the crap out of you (Not because you're moving to hipsterville but because that's what they do on United).
DC is DC. It is never going to be anything but DC and DC is a good thing to be to me. I'd rather be what we is than what we ain't. Because what we ain't ain't so good anyway. So sit back and embrace our DC-ishness. F#ck Silicon Valley with their hipster scooter riding douchebags pretending to be world-changing app-building growth hackers and hustlers. Screw those guys with their trash drawers filled with discarded Google-Glasses.
No kids, not only are we not the valley, we're setting our sights too low if that's who we aspire to be. Why the hell would we choose Doucheland (no offense Germany) when there are so many better choices. Why don't we aspire to be someplace great like Mau? After all, just like Maui we also don't have a subway system (Take that you useless tools at WMATA).
DC Startup History
In the late 70s when most of you kids were just a gleam in your parent's eyes and some of your parents were just a gleam in your grandparent's eyes, and only half of those gleams were caused by cocaine and LSD, this town rivaled Silicon Valley. Hell the largest Venture Capital firm, bi-coastal, New Enterprise Associates, was founded in 1977 Chevy Chase, MD and Menlo Park, CA.
In the late 1970s, Mainframes were as high-tech as high-tech got. Mainframe manufacturers were headquartered in cities like White Planes NY, Detroit MI, Blue Bell PA. No dominant computer manufacturer was located in Silicon Valley. The Mini Computer capital of the world (Digital Equipment, Data General, Wang Labs) was along the 128 corridors in Massachusetts…. not Silicon Valley. DC was the mecca of software developers thanks to local software giants like VM Software, and Landmark, and Morino Associates (later named Legent).
In the late 90's there were like a gazillion active VC's in this town. Here's a bunch of them that have expired, died or just haven't made a new investment in DC in years. Most of them gone.. and forgotten.
- 3Si (Whoops! Where did Feimster's Web Site Go?)
- 1776
- AvansisBlue
- Blue Water Capital
- Darby Overseas
- Disruption/Crystal Tech Fund
- eCentury
- Emerging Technology Partners
- EMP Global
- Fairfax
- FBR Ventures
- The Fort
- GIV Venture Partners
- K Street Capital
- Kinetic
- Lazard Technology Partners
- Leg Mason
- Mercator
- Monumental
- NextPoint Partners
- Portview Communications Partners
- Grovesnor
- Toucan Capital
- Valhalla
- Walker Ventures
- Winston Partners
As further proof, even the phony VC's have tanked and can't make it in this town. Gone is Evan Burfield big-time non-investing investor, his K Street Craptial was never really a thing except for a PR stunt. And how about debunked, deflowered and run-out-of-town like a medicine show snake oil salesmen, Moneyball Monkeyballer, Paul Singh? Forced to pack up his bags and run out of DC with his tail between his legs in the middle of the night. He's moved on to more fertile rubes in rube-ville towns across North America as he embarks on his Paul Singh Airstream Traveling Minstrel and Medicine Show Tour.
The assembled hoards stormed the ramparts of Jonathon Perrelli's Fort? Most of his Limited Partners would like to see one friggin meaningful accounting on Jonny-Boy did with their money. Even the no account, punchline to most Venture Capital jokes, Ross Blankenship, the only #1 Ranked VC who no one ever heard of had to leave town to pretend he wasn't worthless somewhere else.
A History of DC Startup Events and Superstars
Since 1978, when I started working in DC's high tech startup shtetl, this borough has been just one small step away from being the next Silicon Valley. In the late 90s, Mario Marino created the Potomac Knowlegeway and Netpreneur projects sponsoring Coffee and Doughnuts. It was fun. It was cool. It was going to put DC on the startup map. You kids never heard of it so it obviously didn't move the needle and in 2003, Mario got sick of his Sisyphus act, left for his hometown and home of the Rock and Roll hall of fame, Cleveland while the DC-startup rock rolled back down the capital hill.
In the late '90s, the hottest ticket in town was the Indian High Tech Council's Meetup. It was frequented by real, legitimate VCs, in the days we had real legitimate VCs and real legitimate C level execs of real companies. It was a hot get! It was the ticket. Every CEO who was a CEO of real companies and every top tier investor in town would be there. Today, we have the DCTech meetup, a hot ticket with kids who work for consulting companies and government that are just waiting for the right moment to create the next dating app for people who love snakes… not exactly a hot ticket, but a ticket just the same. We have Connectpreneur which has a casual relationship with startups, but really more of a schmoozefest for old farts like me who use to do stuff. None of these events are moving any needles of import, except maybe the needle of a decibel meter (which by the way you can buy for just $22 if you order now from Amazon).
In the 1990's DC Startup Giants like John Sidgemore would pal around and joke with Bill Gates. Gate's to UUNet CEO, Sidgemore, "someday bandwidth will be free." Sidgemore to Gates, "No Bill, someday software will be free," or Irfan Ali, founder of the ATM Forum and a former President of 3Com to Gates after Bill kept asking the same question repeatedly, "Look, Bill, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you."
The Journalist Scene
In the turn of the Century, the Washington Post had a crack team of journalists without quote marks, covering the DC Startup Business Scene, Ellen McCarthy, who has moved over to the papers Style section, The Post's Shannon Henry, author of The Dinner Club, (The Dinner Club was NextGen Capital before NextGen Capital was NextGen Capital) was doing great work… before she retired.. Steven Overly tried to carry that baton for a while until he moved on to greener pastures covering DC's real natural resource… politics (Overly now covers the intersection of Technology and Politics for Politico).
In the '90s the National Monthly Magazine for VCs and Founders was the Red Herring. It was a glossy, high-production. DC had it's very own Washington-Post-backed, bi-monthly Glossy Magazine. It was slickly produced and a very good read.. dare I say even better than DCInno of Mr. Cranky's blog? Today with the exception of one legitimate, overworked, under-resourced and probably underpaid, Journalist without quote marks, Washington Business Journal's, Andy Medici, it's difficult to really determine what is happening in DC's Tech Ghetto. No other legitimate news organization has any dedicated resource covering the scene. Not even the Washington Post.
False Prophets and Fake Havens
We've had waves of Tech Hubs! Starting with Teqcorner, on to Launchbox Digital, Affinity Lab, Fishbowl Labs, The Fort, 1776, Acceleprise, Disruption. All failed… all toast (Acceleprise didn't fail, it relocated to Silicon Valley and the failed 1776 was purchased by Benjamin's Desk and is now more a competitor to WeWork than Y-Discombobulator).
We've had a ton of pretendpreneur startup leaders organizing our startup ecosystem, Peter Corbett, Paul Singh, Jonathon Perrelli. We've had more crazy false prophets than the Pastafarians, Scientologists, Branch Davidians, Westborough Baptist Church, and Popeyes Chicken combined. Today, there is no one to passionately reinvent the lives of citizens by empowering kickass startups and hacking government.
Unreal Reality
What prompted this crazy tirade? A few weeks ago, I read a Washington Business Review article, It's time for a new approach to innovation, by Jonathan Aberman. Jonathan is a good guy and he works tirelessly, as DC's own Job (Not Steve, you Cretans) trying to move the needle. In his article, he cites the hard work of his DC Startup initiatives. To quote his article:
I helped lead two significant community groups that emerged as leaders of this movement toward mentorship and advocacy. The first was StartupAmerica, an initiative launched by Steve Case, and the second was FounderCorps, a not-for-profit I launched with a group of prominent regional entrepreneurs. Both initiatives focused on bringing experienced entrepreneurs into contact with emerging startup founders so that they could share their war stories, lessons learned and enthusiasm for the entrepreneurial journey.
In retrospect, these efforts were very successful. Many of our region's best-known accelerators, incubators and mentorship programs were started by FounderCorps members and StartupAmerica leaders, including StartupVA/DC/MD, 1776, iCorps, TandemNSI and Connectpreneur. We were also able to influence various governments, as some of us worked directly in federal and state government in leadership roles. Today, of the more than 120 accelerators and incubators in our region, many have FounderCorps and StartupAmerica alumni providing active mentorship.
"these efforts were very successful," by what measurement? I'm sorry Jonathon. Valliant efforts all, but hard work is meaningless when it is absent of results. The needle is moving, yes. It just isn't moving forward.
The DC Region is in worse shape today and less of a tech hub then 20 years ago when we led the world in communications technology, with MCI, UUNet, PSI. We were much more legitimate as a tech hub when we led the Mainframe software market or when we had 3 times the amount of legitimate check-stroking VCs in this town than we have today (not counting Jason Feimster and top-ranked (by him) 3Si).
It's time to stop fooling ourselves. The DC region has 99 problems but not being Silicon Valley is not one of them. We are barely a second-rate power as a commercial startup ecosystem. As a region, we are constantly ranked 8th in venture funding received behind the undisputed king, Northern California/Silicon Valley. We're not even close to 2nd tier startup regions like New York, New England, Austin, or Southern California. The combined market capitalization of the top 10 DMV startups would not eclipse the individual value of any single top 20 Silicon Valley startup.
It's Good To Be Who We Are
There's nothing wrong with not being Silicon Valley. There's nothing wrong with Being DC, except maybe the fact that Dan Snyder has taken our Football Team Hostage, we don't have any form of Mass Transit System and where the hell can a human get a decent slice of New York Style Pizza?
With all our weaknesses and faults, we are a well-diversified business region. Our major employers are Government, Lobbying or Advocacy, and Defense Contractors. We have a huge dominant, commercial-tech-resources-sucking, non-commercial Government Tech industry. We have iconic hotel chains like Marriott, Hilton and Choice International. We have great companies like Capital One, We have more lawyers Associations and Lobbyists in DC than cockroaches. Numerous Universities. We're relatively recession-proof. We're affluent, educated, and best of all no one on K street ever wore Google Glass… ever. Although there was that guy who worked for Social Radar who wore his Glass everywhere, even to bed.
Top Inside the Beltway Universities
Universities Within a 3 Hour Drive
DC is not Silicon Valley guys. Think about how cities form. Think about how the industry in those cities evolved. Cities like Pittsburgh had natural resources like iron, coal, and navigable rivers. It was those natural resources that created that city. The textile industry evolved and dominated the south because there was cotton and there were rivers that could be harnessed to power mills. Nobody tried to create a textile industry in Phoenix AZ.
Alaskan's export oil. You don't ever hear anyone in Alaska bemoaning the fact that they don't grow cotton. Not one person in Anchorage ever uttered the words, "why can't we be more like Natchez Mississippi? Why don't we grow more cotton?"
Silicon Valley has the natural resources to dominate the tech world. It is the primary industry of the region. Stanford and Berkley feature unrivaled computer engineering programs and Stanford's Startup Business School. While we have great Universities, none rivals the quality of technology, entrepreneurship and startup programs of Stanford. Stanford Alumni form an army of experienced mentors, Angel Investors, and credentialed cheerleaders. Hell even Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, supports his Grad School, Stanford over the school where his dad worked and where he got his BS, at the U of MD.
For every exited multi-millionaire in DC, there are 100 worth 10 times more in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley has more legitimate Venture Capital Firms than DC Firms have dollars. They have more startup talent with experience in every phase of building valuable Tech Companies than Evan Burfield has excuses for why he constantly fails. Even their criminals like Theranos's, Elizabeth Holmes steel 10 times more money from their investors than our top criminal, Danny Boice.
Silicon Valley, has more experience, more time, and more interest in fostering and keeping their ecosystem growing. Nope… DC isn't Silicon Valley. DC is DC.
We have a nice little cottage startup industry. We're strong in Cyber Security, Ed Tech, Biotech, and Med Tech. We're not Silicon Valley. We're not quite as Douchey. We're not quite as shallow. And we have a Stanley Cup Championship, Hockey Team. Silicon Valley has a Hockey Team.
We're DC and that is a good thing. Now let's get back to higher aspirations. Let's work on being Maui.

If you want to know who really controls Qube Holdings Limited (ASX:QUB), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Institutions will often hold stock in bigger companies, and we expect to see insiders owning a noticeable percentage of the smaller ones. Companies that have been privatized tend to have low insider ownership.
With a market capitalization of AU$4.5b, Qube Holdings is rather large. We'd expect to see institutional investors on the register. Companies of this size are usually well known to retail investors, too. Our analysis of the ownership of the company, below, shows that institutions own shares in the company. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholder can tell us about QUB.

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Qube Holdings?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
As you can see, institutional investors own 38% of Qube Holdings. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Qube Holdings's earnings history, below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
Qube Holdings is not owned by hedge funds. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.
Insider Ownership Of Qube Holdings
The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
We can see that insiders own shares in Qube Holdings Limited. The insiders have a meaningful stake worth AU$76m. Most would see this as a real positive. Most would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board. Still, it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling.
General Public Ownership
The general public, mostly retail investors, hold a substantial 56% stake in QUB, suggesting it is a fairly popular stock. This size of ownership gives retail investors collective power. They can and probably do influence decisions on executive compensation, dividend policies and proposed business acquisitions.
Private Company Ownership
We can see that Private Companies own 4.1%, of the shares on issue. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.
Next Steps:
It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Qube Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors.

Tazeem is one of the seven continents of Zendikar. Here, sunlight is obscured by large hedrons that float in the sky.
Tazeem is the native home to most of the plane's merfolk.
Notable locations[edit | edit source]
- Emeria, the Sky Ruin, a large plain of floating land and hedrons. The merfolk believe it was once the home of Emeria, the goddess of the sky. When the sky-castle was destroyed in a cataclysmic upheaval, the enchantment that protected it wasn't completely dispelled, and the shattered remnants remained in the heavens.
- Halimar, a deep artificial inland sea. Surrounded on three sides by rocky cliffs, the fourth side is enclosed by an ancient wall. The seawall is more than 500 feet tall. No one knows when the seawall was built, but they believe that Halimar must be an old sea because it is home to many species of brightly colored fish, tusked seals, and massive leviathans that dwell in the depths. The sea itself is viewed as the safest way to get from the Sea Gate to the mouth of the Umara River Gorge, and there is a substantial maritime trade and traffic.
- The Halimar Sea Caves, both the breeding ground of giant squids and the dumping ground of hardened criminals.
- Built on the flat space at the top of the sea wall, the city of Sea Gate was the largest settlement of Tazeem.
- A white-stone cylindrical tower known as the Lighthouse, soared an additional 350 feet into the air. It was the center of all learning in Tazeem.
- Sky Rock, a huge hedron floating in the air near Sea Gate. A safe haven for refugees from the Eldrazi.[1][2]
- Oran-Rief, the Vastwood, a gigantic, twisted, ever-expanding twisted reef-rock forest, occupying most of the interior of Tazeem.
- The Umara River, a great rushing river. From its source at Halimar Sea to the northern edge of the continent, the Umara runs through the deep Umara River Gorge that bisects the continent. It drops over 800 feet over a series of waterfalls, most famously the Magosi Waterfall.
- Built on a large island in the middle of the Umara River, the Merfolk Enclave is a hive-like structure consisting of bathing halls, corridors, and sleeping chambers. It is the largest merfolk settlement on Zendikar.
- Coralhelm, a floating landmass protected by a large gorge on all sides.
Rise of the Eldrazi[edit | edit source]
Within two years of the release of the Eldrazi, Sea Gate was overrun and destroyed.[3] Oran-Rief is dead now;[4] the Halimar basin is emptied.[5]
