The writing has been on the wall, yes on the Facebook wall too, in the form of "Direct Messages" – the private messages that users have been sending to businesses to interact with them. Socialbakers, the social media management company studied 256 companies and looked at 3.1 million private messages and 1.5 million Facebook wall posts. The numbers show that people prefer to interact with companies on one-to-one basis.
Private messages were about five times the volume of wall posts. Hidden behind the walls of Facebook, the real interaction of the customers with the businesses happens via Direct Messages. The scenario is similar on all chat and networking platforms. Direct messaging channels of twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp are far more busier than the public walls or open timelines.
According to eDigital's Customer Service Benchmark Survey when different customer service channels were compared, it was found that Live Chat with 73% was the most satisfactory channel followed by email at 61% and App at 53%.
These numbers clearly show that there is a need for a better communication channel –something akin to a private live chat, between businesses and their customers. Something that engages on one-to-one basis. And Chatbots fit in the requirement smartly. Chatbots help businesses engage in a better way with clients. A business provides the services of its Chatbot via a chat interface of a messaging app.
The chatbot thus lives in major chat platforms of Messaging apps like Facebook Messenger, Telegram or Slack. It makes perfect sense that bots inhabit the ecosystem of messaging or chat platforms as Messaging Apps have surpassed the social networks in terms of number of users. Businesses need to be where their customers are and the customers are on messaging apps.
Kik has this interesting video about bots that you must watch.
So what exactly are bots?
Bots are software that conduct automated interactions with people in real time. These micro applications live inside your chat apps. They are interactive apps (called Bots to avoid confusion) within an app. Instead of communicating with your favourite shopping etailer or a pizza delivery center via apps, you can communicate with them through chatbots in a messaging app (provided the said etailer and the pizza delivery center have developed and integrated chatbots in there to respond to you).
People want to talk to businesses like they talk to their friends. They want quick personalised responses. Engaging and re-engaging with bots is easier. For businesses, it makes more sense to talk to their customers directly via chatbots. People have too many apps on their smartphones and they are not interested in installing any more apps.
So, are these chat apps and messaging Apps like Facebook messenger, Telegraph and Slack now bot platforms with their own OS ?
Yes. Businesses have a great opportunity. They can be in the friendly chat space where users spend a lot of time talking to their friends and family. They can now build chatbots for platforms like Facebook Messenger, Telegraph, Slack or Kik.
What is conversing with a bot like?
It is like talking to a person who knows your name and a few other details. Bots are not very fluent in interactions as of now. They are slowly entering the marketing and customer support space. As time goes by our experience with a bot can only get better and better.
Here is what a CNN bot on Facebook messenger looks like.
And the weather bot Poncho in Facebook Messenger which can answer most of your questions, if not all.
What do bots do?
Bots converse through messages. They can read and write messages. They are programmed to carry out automated actions. Bots can respond to requests from users and they can also initiate action. Food bots can bring your dinner. E-commerce bots can help you buy shoes and other apparels. Banking bots can provide financial service. Weather bot can tell you about weather. Content bot will share content. Watcher bots will remind you to send your car to car washer. Business processes and workflow bots will help you at work. The sky is the limit here.
Who is building these bots?
The companies that built quality apps are now making bots for different businesses. They have evolved automatically and naturally towards bot development. They have been providing quality bot development services.
What are the advantages of developing a bot ?
There are several advantages of developing a bot for your business. Let's discuss them.
#Bots Solve the App Retention Problem
The space on a user's phone is at premium. There simply isn't enough space for more apps. You can build bots for clients on a chat platform. You would be able to connect to your users directly. You don't need to worry about the number of installs and uninstalls in the same way. No need to scramble your brains over deep links or meta tags to get to the top of the app store. It will be easily discoverable.
#Integrating With an App Helps With Discoverability
Launching a new app is far more tedious than launching a bot. According to comScore's 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report most of the app users spend their maximum number of smartphone minutes in the top 3 apps they like, and out of these 3 apps one app invariably is a messaging app. To get to the users, integrating with that one messaging app which occupies a premium space on user's smartphone and in user's mind will be the right strategy. It will help with the discoverability.
An average smartphone user is happily busy with the top 3 apps he has chosen to engage with. The users may never discover or install the new app you build for your business.
#No Need to develop different bots for different Operating Systems
Bots work in the same way on all the phones. They interact with all the users in the same way. No need to develop and upload different bots for iOS or Android or web.
Yes you could make bots for different chat platforms though. One for Slack, one for Facebook messenger and so on, to reach all your customers.
#Updating a bot will be simpler
Compared to updating an app, updating a bot will be simpler. The process will provide more controls in the hands of bot developers and bot publishers. However a lot remains to be seen and not to forget the whole of bot-scape is currently evolving. As a bot publisher you can however learn constantly from the interactions and iterate your bot and update it.
#More Engagement
Bots operate in the environment chat users are already familiar with. The interface is simple too. There isn't a big learning curve. All these factors will ease the process of bot adoption. The best part is most people spend a lot of time on messaging apps so there will be better engagement. To talk to a brand they would not need to open another app or access a website, all they would need are a few taps on their smartphone and they can be directly connected to the brands and businesses they want to connect to. The best part is businesses will be able to talk to their clients spread across the world, 24×7. There will not be any geographical or time zone hindrances.
#Helping Live Chat & CRM teams
Managing interactions with customers – both current and future has always been an important task. With bots in the picture, Live Chat and CRM teams can take a step back and let automated bot responses take care of the initial processes and other repetitive tasks. They will be more efficient by choosing to step in and focus on more complex matters as and when needed. Bots add one more helpful layer to the CRM processes.
#Easier to use
Everytime a user needs to order food, get a taxi, buy clothes with the help of apps, he has to open the app, and then tap and tap to get to the right page, complete the transaction and get all that he needs. Not to forget he needs to download and install all those apps to begin with. Then there is the sign-up process for each app before a user can use it.
With bots, there is no need to download or install. No separate sign-up process required either. All you need is a messaging app. Bots of different businesses that provide you services you need are in that one app waiting for your 'Hello' to start conversations.
How can OpenXcell help?
OpenXcell, a leading app development company has all the technical chops in place to develop a bot for your business. OpenXcell has a good understanding about the technology that goes into bot development process. Instead of making an entire app, you can now make a bot for popular platforms such as Telegram, Slack or Facebook to interact, engage and even transact with your users. OpenXcell can help you with Telegram bot development, Slack bot development and Facebook bot development.
#Telegram Bot Development
Telegram is one of the most popular messaging apps with an active user base of more than 62 billions. It has a high MAU and high retention and is proving to be a good bot platform. Telegram bots can be integrated with other services such as YouTube bot, IMDB bot etc. You can read more about Telegram bot development here.
#Slack Bot Development
Slack has a huge DAU base of more than 1.7 million users. It can target high value users. Slack is a very important platform for many organizations which makes it a very valuable platform for businesses to develop bots on. There is scope for developing bots for a myriad of functionalities. You can read more on Slack bot development here.
#Facebook Messenger Bot Development
It has over 900 million users. Almost everyone is on Facebook. If your business needs to stay connected to customers, you should have a Facebook bot. According to Facebook's messaging platform, Messenger's head of product Stan Chudnovsky, there are more than 10,000 developers building bots for messenger. You should be there too. Read about Facebook bot development here.
To Conclude
The bots-scape will continue to evolve and the bots will continue to get smarter and smarter. If you have a business which needs to be where your customers are – you should consider building a bot for one of these messaging/chat platforms. Explore the possibilities. You can read more on messaging bots here.

First look inside Tub and Cone – Colchester's new dessert lounge
PUBLISHED: 19:00 12 June 2019 | UPDATED: 10:11 17 June 2019
Take a sneak peek inside the new dessert lounge set to rival the likes of Kaspa's and Heavenly Desserts when it opens in Colchester this week.
Tub and Cone is a family run business which will be serving up the sweetest waffles, milkshakes, crepes, ice creams, hot drinks - and not forgetting its vegan and gluten free alternatives - when it officially opens its doors on Friday, June 14.
The Khan Family, consisting of Kiran Syed, her husband Fawad Khan and their four children, aged four, five, eight and 11, took on the venture in November 2017 - after falling in love with ice cream as a family.
The dessert lounge, which can be found in Crouch Street, has been inspired by the children's love of visiting ice cream parlours, after their father worked in a number across London.
Speaking of the venture, Kiran said: "The team behind Tub and Cone have been absolutely fantastic, I can't thank them enough for all their hard work.
"I'd also like to thank my lovely children for being so patient with their parents during the long project. I'm really excited for us to finally open."
The lounge will be open from 11am to 10.30pm, seven days a week - and shortly customers will be able to purchase their sweet treats using Deliveroo.

Kiran has praised the team behind the new lounge - saying that her builder Timothy Cowell, from Purple Ladders, has now become a fond friend - along with the many others who have become a part of the furniture at Tub and Cone.
Kiran paid a special mention to her architect Thomas Chivers, Nathan Pudney and Josh Charlesworth from NEP Electricals and Building Services, Kamil Dado sign/mural artist and Ben Seaman and Darren Dawson from Express Sun Blinds.
Tub and Cone's arrival marks another new independent company joining the huge offering already available in the town.
Sam Good, business improvement district manager at Our Colchester, said: "With Colchester having a distinct array of independent businesses, the BID are focused on developing the independent brand of the town.
"Having an exciting new business like Tub and Cone enhances this aim and builds on the fantastic offering Colchester town centre has, not only with the Independent sector but retail and leisure overall. Welcome to Colchester Tub and Cone."

VA borrowers already have the advantage of no down payment required on a home. However, closing costs can take a bite out of their purchase power. The costs can range from 1 to 5 percent of the loan amount, depending on the home purchase price, MilitaryVALoan.com reported.
Vets using a VA mortgage may pay for items such as appraisal, title insurance, recording, and origination fees. Charges veterans are not allowed to pay include costs for processing, documents, underwriting, and escrow fees.
Some or all of these fees could be handled several ways, which is why vets should tell real estate agents they have a VA loan when purchasing a home.
Special: Loophole Can Qualify Seniors for $20,500 Check
These five closing cost discounts are available for veterans when buying a home:
1. Seller concessions — The real estate agent may request that the seller pay for most or all of the loan-related closing costs, according to Military.com. The seller is allowed to pay up to 4 percent of the sales price. The buyer can negotiate the closing costs as part of the sales contract, offering to pay a certain price for the home if the seller agrees to pay for the closing costs.
2. Non-loan-related costs — The VA also allows seller concessions to cover anything of value during the closing. These concessions may include insurance costs, prepaid taxes, and credits for home items left behind by the seller, Veterans United notes.
3. Lender credits — Lenders can offer VA borrowers a credit, which offsets some or all closing costs. For example, the lender provides a lower interest rate when the buyer pays a point, or 1 percent, of the loan amount. Or the lender can increase the rate by one-quarter of 1 percent on a $200,000 loan, so the borrower receives a $2,000 credit toward closing fees.
Tip: How to Retire Comfortably on $2,000
4. Real estate agent credit — Buyer and seller agents each receive commissions from the seller of the home. The agent representing the buyer may contribute toward closing costs through credits, but this is allowed in certain states.
5. Covering non-allowed fees — An origination fee is an allowed charge for borrowers with a VA loan, representing 1 percent of the loan amount. Lenders can charge this fee and waive costs for non-allowable fees such as processing, underwriting, and attorney costs.

Getting Free Stuff by Mail
Filling your mailbox with free stuff is really a rather easy task. The main ingredient is patience and the second is a mailbox. You can not expect to start today and have tons of goodies tomorrow. The fact is, if you spend a month requesting free stuff by mail, actual free stuff, you will have months of free stuff on its way.
OK, to start your free stuff venture you need to find an AMAZING website that offers nothing but verified free stuff. You don't want to waste your time filling our surveys or spending hard earned cash on participation offers. Hmmm, let me think.. What is a good website where you can find only the best freebies on the internet? I GOT IT!! Vonbeau.
Vonbeau offers only the best free stuff available. We, I mean, "they" test every offer to ensure you are not going to be sent to a website that is going to have you jump through hoops and end up giving you nothing. Let's face it, the whole point is to get free stuff by mail.
- Start by getting ready for your free stuff. Create a separate email address to use only for requesting freebies. When you start requesting free stuff by mail you can easily find your space filling fast with Magazines, tee shirts, free make up and other free items that companies are willing to part with to gain new customers.
- Next, choose where you would like them sent. Most folks will just use their regular mailing address. Hard core freebie finders will have a P.O.Box and home address to double their loot. Note, some free offers do not allow the use of p.o.boxes.
- Now, what do you want.? The easy answer is everything that is available. If you do not need it, you can always pass it along to a neighbor or family member. So, don't hesitate to go down the list and request it all. It makes walking to the mailbox or post office a much less stressful trip knowing that there will be more there than just bills.
- Let's go down the list. At this point you should have a place to put all your free stuff, a place to ship your free stuff and last, you know that you want ALL THE FREE STUFF!.
- Whether you choose to use Vonbeau as your source for free stuff or (GASP!) you choose another website, get started as soon as you have time. There are literally hundreds of free offers available at any given time and why should you not take full advantage of all of them. Companies want, need, you to try their product and trying before you spend hard earned cash makes $en$e.
A few things you should avoid on your new freebie finding venture. Some survey offers are legitimate and only ask a few questions before asking where to send your free stuff by mail. But, most are just embarrassing attempts to collect information while making promises to send you a new ipod or Ford Mustang. Grandma was right, if it is too good to be true...
Second, there are a pile of freebie websites popping up that send you to participation offers. Meaning, you have to purchase or participate in other offers (like buying digital satellite TV or a magazine subscription) before they will even hint of a freebie: avoid these offers like a rabid pit bull with aids.
OK, young Jedi, you are now ready to become your mailman's least favorite customer. Make us proud. GOOD LUCK!

Classic Uganda
10 days from £4,075
Why we love this trip
This ten day safari includes a thrilling visit with the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, chimpanzee tracking in both Kibale National Park and Kyambura Gorge, multiple game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park with its wide array of wildlife, including the famous tree climbing lions, a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, and an optional visit to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary on the beautiful Lake Victoria. Uganda boasts some of the best bird watching in Africa, with over 1000 different species, including the rare shoebill and the remarkable grey crowned crane.
Luxury accommodation, professional guides and custom-made safari vehicles - this Ugandan safari will be the trip of a lifetime.
Tour Highlights
Internal flights replace long road journeys
Search for mountain Gorillas in Bwindi
Track chimpanzees in Kibale and Kyambura Gorge
Spot tree-climbing lions in the Queen Elizabeth National Park
Enjoy a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel
Stay in mid-range to luxury hotels and lodges that enhance your overall experience in Uganda
Days 1-4
Entebbe & Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
On arrival at Entebbe Airport you'll be transferred to your hotel and depending on your time of arrival, can spend time exploring the city. We'll take a short flight to Bwindi where we will have the opportunity for two days of gorilla tracking, as well as forest walks, visits to a local school or orphanage or the Batwa pygmy village, and curio shopping if you fancy it!
Days 5-7
Queen Elizabeth National Park
From here we drive a relatively short distance to to Ishasha in the southern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park to experience game drives looking for the huge herds of buffalo, elephant, Uganda kob and of course the famous tree-climbing lion typically found in the area. Heading north in this park we come to the 'Mweya' sector which is rich with wildlife with vast numbers of Uganda's unique and strange Euphorbia, or "candelabra" tree. The many nearby crater lakes and mountain ranges provide a beautiful backdrop for your journey, and here we also enjoy a leisurely boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, where the shores are dotted with herds of elephant, buffalo, pods of hippos, and countless bird species.
Days 8-10
Kibale National Park
After tracking chimpanzees in the Kyambura Gorge we take a short flight back to Entebbe and then transfer to the Kibale Forest, rich in wildlife and most noted for its primate population including the red-tailed monkey, diademed monkey, olive baboon, chimpanzee, and black and white colobus. Our final day is spent on a further chimpanzee tracking experience where we hope to be lucky enough to see the habituated chimps as they move through the forest. We return to Entebbe for onward journeys home or extended African adventures.

Tehran Stock Exchange's main index closed at 62,871 at the end of Wednesday's trading session, recording a 0.3% decline compared to the previous week.
The TSE All-Share Index TEDPIX slipped below the 63,000 level to record its lowest measure in November 2015.
On the third trading week of the month, TSE's major sectors had poor performances as the Automotive and Oil Products Industries decreased by 4% and 2.2% respectively, global online currency trading portal FXstreet reported in its latest edition of Iran Weekly Market Report.
The Banking Sector also slipped by 1.2%, while Non-Metallic Ores and Transportations & Logistics had the highest growth among major sectors, increasing by 2.9% and 2.7.
Low fluctuations of the TEDPIX dragged volatility to the lowest levels since January 2014. Compared to the previous week, the volatility level of the main index has declined by 50% in the trading week ending on November 19.
The limited fluctuations of the index have kept technical analysis prospect stable. However, the 50-day EMA reduced its gap with the All-Share Index to 0.5%, as the index's daily changes have been less than 1% in the last 19 trading sessions.
Also, the index of 30 largest companies by market capitalization, the TSE 30 Index, recorded negative returns on all trading sessions of the week. The TSE 30 index slipped by 1.2% on a weekly basis as it closed at 2,680, going below the 2,700 level for the first time since mid-October 2015.
Similarly, the Average Daily Trade Volume of the market stood at $23.5 million, 5.6% lower than the previous week. The ADTV measure has already dropped by almost 24% in two weeks, reaching its lowest level since October 2015. This is also reflected in the total traded values of the market's top three value leaders.
Bank Mellat, Iran Polyacryl and Iran Khodro had the highest total traded values this week with 6.3, 5.8 and 3.5 million dollars of trades. The share price of Bank Mellat closed at 1,935 rials (approximately 5.4 cents), 1.8% lower than the previous week. But Iran Polyacryl surged by 16% on a weekly basis as its share price closed at 2,756 rials (approximately 7.7 cents). This is while Iran Khodro fell from its two-month high of 2,075 rials, recorded on November 11, as it closed at 1,897 rials (approximately 5.3 cents) falling by 8.5%.
Iran Fara Bourse
Iran Fara Bourse's overall index shed 4.2 points or 0.6% during the same week compared to the previous trading week to end at 702.
According to IFB, more than 994 million securities were traded in 64,000 transactions valued at $135.7 million. Trade volume registered a 37% growth while weekly trade value declined by 31% compared to the previous week.
IFB's market cap shrank 0.3% to end the week at $22.9 billion. The First Market registered the trading of close to 60 million securities valued at $5.3 million to record 34% and 35% jump in volume and value compared to the previous trading week.
The Second Market witnessed a 16% and 3% increase in weekly trade volume and value with the transaction of 258 million securities valued at $20.9 million. Oil products with a 15% share of the market transactions topped the charts among weekly gainers, while base metals and chemicals took the next spots with 11% and 9% respectively.
Currency Exchange
Furthermore, the Iranian rial depreciated against the US dollar and the British pound this week.
The Central Bank of Iran set the official rate of dollar-rial at 29,967, 3 rials higher than the previous week, while the free market US dollar rate recorded a 0.5% increase, reaching 35,597 rials. However, the euro had a weak performance against the Iranian rial as the official rate of the euro was announced at 32,092 rials, marking a 0.5% decline.
Also, the free market euro-rial slipped by 0.3%, where it ended up at 38,284 on Thursday afternoon. The official rate of the pound sterling experienced a 0.4% gain, as the CBI set it at 45,811 rials. Similarly the pound-rial free market rate rose by 0.8%, standing at 54,550.
Interest Rates
In contrast with an agreement announced last week, where banks had stated they would reduce interest rates on annual deposits by 2%, (going down from 20% to 18%), some banks' executives raised doubts on whether this plan will indeed be implemented on November 22.
In a setback to statements made last week, the executives mentioned that the reduction of interest rates should be decided by the Iranian Money & Credit Council.
Governor of the Central Bank of Iran Valiollah Seif and Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Ali Tayyebnia have both stated the necessity of reducing interest rates due to a sharp drop in the country's inflation rate (decreasing from 45% to 10.8% in two years).
However, based on the latest comments made by officials, it is uncertain whether the Money and Credit Council will decide on interest rates in its meeting scheduled to be held this week.
Speaking at a conference in Tehran, Tayyebnia argued that some preparations are needed before an interest rate reduction can be implemented.
Some experts believe that a cut in interest rates can benefit unregulated credit institutions, if they do not abide by new interest rate policies. As these institutions are not under the supervision of the central bank, they can offer higher interest rates on deposits, therefore skewing the market share of deposits in their favor. This could potentially have an adverse effect on the banking sector and the economy.
Stimulus Package
The implementation of the government's economic stimulus package plan initiated last week was partially stopped due to a large unanticipated participation by the public.
A part of the plan involved the provision of consumer loans to the public for the purpose of purchasing Iranian manufactured or assembled automobiles. As the number of cars sold surpassed 110,000, the plan was halted at the behest of the CBI.
Iran Khodro, the largest car manufacturer in the Middle East and North Africa region, sold over 65,000 cars during the one week period when the plan was implemented. These sales can increase the company's annual sales prospect by approximately 13%.

Contract Protection
How it is in Volleyball now:
In Volleyball there is no official regulation for "Contract Protection".
How it is in other Sports:
- The club for which the player is eligible to play shall take out insurance coverage for the player in the event of personal injury and resulting consequences for the period for which the player has been called to his federation's activities. At IHF Senior World Championships and IHF Olympic Games Qualification Tournaments the IHF will compensate the losses encountered by the handball clubs due to accidents or sickness of a handball player suffered during release period for the National Federation of the respective event. (7.3.2. IHF Player Eligibility Code-Release of Players to National Team)
Our Goal:
The organizer of the competition is obliged to create a system of protection of the volleyball clubs' investments made and for letting their players participate in and volleyball competition.

Love them or hate them, motivational quotes can help get you off the ground when you are struggling to make a start. During the evenings, once the kids are in bed, I sometimes find it difficult to rouse enough momentum to crack on with a client assignment or work on my blog. I'd much rather be dressed in my pyjamas, lounging on the sofa and binging on the latest Netflix series. However, if you have serious goals you need to put in some serious work. Then there are the setbacks. It's easy to think about giving it all up if it feels like your business venture or blog is going…
5 Reasons To Start A Blog
Before launching CubKit, I wondered whether starting a blog would be a pointless endeavour. There are over 3 million blog posts published each day. A blog is born somewhere in the world every half a second. That's a lot of blogs created by a lot of people who have a lot to say. I thought perhaps I had missed the blogging boat and if I had anything to say that my intended audience hadn't heard before. Then there were the success stories. I couldn't get enough of them. I spent a lot of time reading about people who within three months of starting a blog were earning a six-figure income,…
What I've Learned in my First 6 Months of Blogging
I can hardly believe that it will soon be 6-months since I started up CubKit. During that time I have learnt so much about blogging, social media and being an entrepreneur. The world of blogging is vast, complicated, fast-paced and exciting. I still have much to discover, absorb and implement and I'm having so much fun as I learn to navigate it all. Perhaps you're now reading this and thinking of setting up your own blog, so here are a few things I've learnt along the way.

That will get you into the installer menu, from whence you can change the LO frequency.
But this does not seem to work on the new Mysky+ Decoder. Can someone please help with access to the Tech menu as I do not wish to upgrade the holiday home disc. Many Thanks

The challenge sought to encourage young people to take a keen interest in the agricultural sector as a source of employment and enterprise. Young people traditionally view agriculture as an unattractive, back-breaking sector that requires much manual labour with minimal returns. The challenge aimed to change this mindset and encourage competitiveness, dynamism, creativity and innovation in starting up innovative agribusiness ideas that could contribute to business growth and attract business partnerships. Most importantly, it hoped to inspire potential ideas that could be replicated by other young people or to spur them to join as investors or as a means of employment. Since its inception six years ago, the challenge has been transformative and aspirational for many youths.
"Young people are at the centre of Swisscontact's development interventions. We are focused on building and facilitating strong and sustainable partnerships between business companies and young entrepreneurs or smallholder farmers based on win-win economic benefits. Swisscontact played a major role in ensuring awareness of the challenge. We helped in publicity through sponsoring radio adverts on both rural- and urban-based stations, ensuring coverage in the local press, and supporting sensitisation meetings at the regional, district and sub-county levels,'' remarked Mrs Tania Haidara, Country Director for Swisscontact in Uganda.

The Cameras Behind 72nd Emmy Awards Outstanding Cinematography Nominees: Sony VENICE Leads the way.
The Cameras Behind 72nd Emmy Awards Outstanding Cinematography Nominees: Sony VENICE Leads the way.
Congrats to Sony's marketing department on the article.
BTW, since the PV DXLs are essentially upfitted RED Monstros, noting RED as "coming in last" is - ahh - creative...
I have tremendous respect for Panavision and the ecosystem they created to yield consistent results from their implementation of RED's Monstro sensor. I suppose we could have a lengthy thread on who is most deserving of credit for the DXL platform. IMHO, the combination of each company's core strengths in creating the DXL has yielded a fantastic camera.
IAC, all of the cameras on the list are up to the task - the real differentiator is talent and skill... but it's fun to watch the vendor pissing contest ;-)
Cheers - #19
I personally believe it's more of a happenstance than any real trend, the nominations were based on the creative talent behind the series more than the camera sensor used. It's kinda like establishing a causal relationship between , for example, if 6 of the nominees came from New Jersey that New Jersey is now the new "Hot Spot" for Television Series creative talent.

Most interesting:
Second most interesting:Ozark: DP Armando Salas, ASC and DP Ben Kutchins. Camera: Sony VENICE. Lenses: Leica R (rehoused)
Noteworthy: barely one 35mm production in this list, and no 16mm. Although I don't doubt that other productions are using film as well.Westworld: Paul Cameron, ASC. Camera: Sony VENICE and ARRICAM. Lenses: ZEISS Supreme and ARRI Master Prime.
A total of six lens manufacturers are represented, which makes sense as lenses are easier to make and sell than cameras are. (Try naming all the lens manufacturers off the top of your head). If I wanted to, right now, I could market my own lens set that isn't made of rehoused SLR lenses. It would be crap, but I could do it without spending too much money. I'm very surprised that there isn't yet more diversity in lens choice.
Where are the Cine Altas, the Tokinas, the Sigmas, the Blackwings, the Bell & Howells, the Canon FDs, the Hawks, the Rokinons etc? At least Kowa got up there. And we see the Leica Rs there, too. Yes, all those lenses are no doubt used in other productions but I wonder if most of the top productions are being too... 'safe' with their choices.
In the future you're going to see hybrid DSLMs in that mix, starting with the A7S III. I mean, that camera is seriously not a joke, unlike the previous ones. It's a dead serious tool, for both stills and motion (it's virtually a DSMC!). Find me a more capable hybrid camera under $10,000. You're also going to see the Komodo there, too. Who knows, maybe it will swamp everything else...

This is my second ThursdayTreeLove post with the same title! Its not for lack of creativity but this seems to be the apt choice for the tree that I want to share.
My alternative title for today was Living Fossil.
With that, some of you may have guessed the ID of my tree.
That's right! This is the Ginkgo biloba which is known for its brilliant yellow Fall Foliage.
I saw the above tree in the premises of a temple in Tokyo and it seemed to have its apex burnt off by lightning. It was obviously a very old tree judging by the texture and girth and appearance of the trunk. Despite losing its apex at some point, the tree had developed new lateral branches and continued to flourish. It did have some protection around it but visitors were not really interested in this.
Ginkgo biloba is a gymnosperm which means the seeds are not covered by true fruit. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, disturbed environments and air pollution. In fact, six Ginkgo trees even survived the A-blast of 06 August 1945 in Hiroshima. It is commonly seen as an avenue tree in urban areas - New York, Shanghai, Tokyo (some cities that I spotted the Ginkgo). It is called a living fossil because it is the only living species of its group.
Ginkgos boast pretty fan shaped leaves which are very distinctive. It is dioecious which means female and male specimens are separate. Most trees planted in cities are male because the fruit like seed has a foul smell when it falls to the ground!
This is among my favourite species, especially for its wonderful leaves.
Do you have the Ginkgo growing in your city?
I am joining Parul in her #ThursdayTreeLove blog hop. Do head over to see some glorious trees from around the world.

Credit unions, small banks see increases
A month after the day known as Bank Transfer Day, a day where many people switched their accounts from big banks to local credit unions and smaller banks, local banks and credit unions say the public is becoming more aware of the fees and other charges they pay monthly.
More than 650,000 people joined credit unions in October, adding $4.5 billion in new savings.
"Since Sept. 29 — the day Bank of America announced its now-rescinded monthly $5 debit card fee — average estimated membership increases nationally were around 20,000 new members each day," said Bill Cheney, Credit Union National Association president and chief executive officer. On Nov. 5, Bank Transfer Day, 40,000 people transferred a total of $80 million into credit unions.
"The public is becoming more aware," said Carrie Iafrate, vice president of development at Members First Credit Union in Midland. "They're making sure they're not being taken advantage of."
Did Midland credit unions and local banks see an increase in membership on Nov. 5?
"We've been seeing an increase in membership the last couple of months," said Iafrate.
Iafrate said many people with accounts at big banks like the idea of being able to go to California or New York and find a branch or ATM.
"I think that gives people some sense of convenience," she said. However, Iafrate said credit unions can offer the same convenience. She said ATM networks, online banking and apps for smartphones make it possible to bank anywhere even if there isn't a branch nearby.
Iafrate said credit unions are not-for-profit operations.
"We are not owned by stockholders," she said. "Our only bottom line is to improve products and services for customers."
Jeff Southcott, executive vice president at Wolverine Bank in Midland, said business picked up in mid-October. "How much I can attribute to people wanting to leave big banks? I can't say for sure, but there's been a move to community banks," he said.
"It's getting more expensive at bigger banks," he added. Southcott said free checking accounts are hard to find unless you keep a minimum balance; otherwise it can cost $8-12 per month.
"For a lot of people, they can't qualify for those deposit levels," he said. For example, at one major bank the balance level is $20,000.
Southcott said because big banks don't have local leadership they're not as responsive to customers as community banks are. He said another advantage of a community bank is the relationship.
"If your bank is in your local community, we're going to give you a more personalized service," he said. "You're not just a number."
Barb Ostroski-Enos, marketing director at Dow Chemical Employees' Credit Union in Midland, said the biggest advantage of a credit union is being "fee free."
"Plus we're local," she said. "When you call us, you're not talking to someone in another state that can't help you."
"We have definitely seen an increase in membership," Ostroski-Enos said. Ostroski-Enos said people aren't happy with big banks' fees. "They're tired of it," she said. "They're basically taking their money."
"We give money back to members in the form of rebates and rewards," she said. "Last year we gave over $5.7 million back to members."
"That's what we're all about — returning things to our members."

The only hope for Hindus of Kashmir
Reader comment on item: Is Turkey's Government Starting a Muslim Reformation?
Submitted by s.p. attri (United States), Jul 14, 2008 at 04:12
Subj: The only hope for Hindus of Kashmir
2. My Take:
There is " Absolutely No Reason At All " not to furnish the Hindus of J & K with weapons.
3. The problem in J & K is exactly the same, as it is in the rest of India. At both places, Hindus are led by WKOP ( wrong kind of people ). These WKOPs don't have what it takes to do the job, of Hinduism Defense. They cannot cut the mustard.

Bulls Tue Dec 16 2008
Bulls: So Far, So Good
So far so good for Bulls head coach Vinny Del Negro. While other NBA coaches have been falling like teenage girls at a Jonas Brothers concert (the latest was former Bull Reggie Theus who was fired by Sacramento Monday, the sixth firing of the season), Del Negro not only has managed to survive but thrive.
In his first season of head coaching... EVER! ... Del Negro has the Bulls a mere one game under .500, a situation that could improve tonight when they take on the Charlotte Bobcats in North Carolina. That complete lack of experience was big question mark hanging over his head, placed there by nearly every writer and fan in town. Granted, it's only basketball, but even there, experience has to count for something. Were he Vinny Del Negro the cardiac surgeon or Vinny Del Negro the periodontist, he'd be eating soup for dinner and probably still waiting for his first patient.
But thanks to a big gamble by general manager John Paxson, Del Negro has the bulls in third place in the Eastern Conference's Central Division and with a better record (11-12) than 13 other NBA teams.
Of course, he had a little help this year. OK, a lot of help in the form of Derrick Rose, who is as expected to win the Rookie of the Year award as Heath Ledger is expected to carry an Oscar into the afterlife. It's kinda scary to think where the Bulls would be right now with only a neophyte head coach and a bunch of disgruntled vets twiddling their thumbs until free agency. Not only has Rose (18.2 ppg, 6.3 apg) burst onto the scene with a veteran's poise, but he's managed to invigorate the rest of the team, with four other players averaging in double digits. OK, there was that whole eating-in-bed thing, but we'll chalk that up to Stupid Rookie Tricks.
If there is a soft spot with the Bulls it's under the boards. Granted forward Drew Gooden has been trying to carry the load with nine rebounds per game, but anytime Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas want to show up is OK by us. They both average about five rebounds per game but those games are few and far between. Indeed, it took sharp words from Del Negro to snap them out of their sleepwalking and push the two of them to their best performances of the season against New Jersey (16 points for Thomas, seven points, eight rebounds for Noah). Hopefully, the return of power forward Michael Ruffin will solidify things.
Now that defenses are adjusting to Rose's game, Del Negro is counting on the rest of the team to step up their game and continue to rebound and hustle to get the ball in the hands of Rose (who leads the team in shooting with 49 percent). The team could be entering a crucial phase in their development that makes this almost-.500 thing all the more intriguing.

Once you have RAID data recovery at your disposal, you won't have to worry about your data. Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks is the data storage technology that offers data redundancy and performance enhancement. There are also various levels of RAID starting with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 2, RAID 3, RAID 4 and so on. Each of the levels of RAID has its own capacity, redundancy, and speed ratios. RAID syndicates multiple hard drives into a single logical system to overcome data recovery challenges. RAIDs are storage media devices where you can rely on for protecting your data. RAID is worth for the investment made on this data recovery service. Still, you shall be aware of the complexity associated with it before attempting any quick recovery.
Before we discuss the complexity of RAID data recovery, you need to know these little and vital things. It would help you to get a clear idea of what RAID actually is. Don't confuse the RAID with a backup system as they are completely different. Many end users and companies using RAID often consider RAID as a backup system. It is possible to use RAID arrays as backup systems only when another copy of the same data or database is saved elsewhere. The confusion regarding the implementation of RAID stems from its redundant feature. Like any digital storage device, it is not unusual for RAID to fail at times. It can mainly happen due to the mistake of the controller or when one or more hard drive fail to perform. Moreover, a RAID might fail because of a logical corruption while implementing the system. Thus, it is expert advice to keep a proper backup system of your data in place.
Only a technical expert can control the complex and customizable nature of RAID systems. Otherwise, you cannot apply RAID without a deep understanding of how the data is laid out across the drives. When RAID fails due to multiple hard drive failure, gaining access to the failed drives is the first stage of recovering data. Then it is required to rebuild the unit before attempting to extract data. The RAID users occasionally need to make several attempts to bring back the right configuration at this stage. A careful approach is necessary for more complex RAID systems. RAID data recovery emphasizes the creation of sector by sector image copies of the drives available. It needs to be done before rebuilding the disk array. It reduces the risk possibilities of getting any data deleted or overwritten and prevent irreversible damage. Hence experts use hardware write protect tool during the image setup process to prevent the alteration of original RAID drives.
May proprietary RAID systems like Drobo BeyondRAID, QNAP, NAS. and more are flooding the market these days. RAID data recovery service tends to become more complex due to the closed nature of RAID systems. The complexity arises as most RAID systems use non-standard RAID configurations. It becomes problematic even when the RAID systems combine RAID configurations within a single system. Thus, RAID systems require reverse engineering to understand the distribution of data across hard drives.
Have a quick look at the various RAID systems to know their complexities.
It is an efficient system but lacks recovery choices for end users. Here every individual drive is not dependent on another as they are their own controllers. It offers high performance and allows the user to write transactions on its behalf. Despite all these advantages, all your previous data gets deleted when one drive of RAID 0 crashes. Thus, it is always essential to back up your data to an external hard drive. RAID 0 is not suitable for dealing with critical data. Last but not least, like other RAIDs, it is not beyond failures.
When you write a transaction to RAID 1, a copy is created to another drive. Thus, a backup is necessary to remove the chances of losing data. It is complicated because the data needs to be written twice and takes a lot of time. As a result, the performance of recovered data suffers. When you use RAID, the total storage capacity is split into two halves. So, the actual storage capacity of the drive is 1TB when you possess a 2TB drive. When one drive fails, the mirror driver replaces it in order to preserve your data. By using RAID 1, you will get into trouble if one drive crashes.
RAID 5 applies parity so that the drive can reconstruct data if one drive fails suddenly. RAID is complex as mirroring becomes insufficient when you do not replace the crashed drive. RAID 5 disperses your data across various drives and parity data. Thus, you need to replace a crashed drive in order to reconstruct the data. Users require three disks for RAID 5 to recover their lost data. Furthermore, data recovery becomes complex when one disk fails in the array. RAID 5 requires a RAID controller to cope with the additional complexity of this system.
Like RAID 5, RAID 6 also writes the parity to disks when one disk fails. RAID 5 uses a single disk to recover data whereas, RAID 6 utilizes two disks. Thus, it does not have the risk of losing data in the middle of the data recovery process. Still, it is better to have at least four disks in order to deploy RAID 6. There is no scope of data correction if the entire array fails in RAID 6.
It is vulnerable to power cuts and erases the cached information while recovering data. Since RAID 7 is a non-standard level, it requires proprietary hardware to carry on its function.
It creates a hybrid array by encompassing the RAID 0 as well as RAID 1 solutions together. This data recovery Dubai system works at a great speed and redundant in its approach. Most of the admins do not prefer RAID 10 as it uses half of its storage capacity for mirroring.
Regardless of the type of RAID, you are using, they are a lot more complex than a single hard drive recovery solution. Implementation of RAIDs is beyond the capacity of a non-technical person. Only professionals can handle the tricks involved with RAID data recovery. Thus, we would recommend you to stop using the system once you have encountered a data loss. If you continue to use your system and apply any troubleshooting tips, then further damage might occur to the disk array. Thus do not try to apply RAID unless you are confident enough of how to deal with it. Seek professional RAID data recovery service after the failure of initial attempts. Otherwise, the data recovery would become a lot more complex and even impossible in critical situations. Therefore, approach a skilled and experienced RAID data recovery specialist to deal with the complexity of RAID data recovery.
1) Is RAID 0 fault tolerant?
RAID 0 is not at all fault tolerant because the data recovery process comes to a halt when one disk fails in the array. As a result, the chances of data loss and further corruption of data increases.
2) Why RAID data recovery is complex?
RAID data recovery is complex because only an expert knows how to utilize it correctly. Otherwise, a wrong application might cause immense damage to your data and make it irrecoverable as well. If you carefully go through the various RAID levels, then the answer will be more clear to you.
3) Is RAID better than a backup system?
There is no relation between a RAID data recovery and backup system. RAID is a process of storing data on multiple hard disks in order to protect them in case of a drive failure. Whereas, in backup, the files and databases are copied to a secondary location for preservation. Unlike a backup system, a RAID provides real-time protection of data. RAID stores multiple copies of a file across several hard drives in an array. When a drive fails, another drive replaces it to carry on the task of protecting data.

This is a constant subject here in this blog because it is hard for me to understand why many of us in this ERA of the church are seen by God as blind.
I wrote about what I think the answer is in part at least in the post: Could this be the answer to Laodicea's Blindness?
In that article Peter was saying to us that we need to add to our faith 7 things that would guarantee our salvation and if we did not we would be blind.
2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Verse 9 above seems to be referring back to verse 8. I believe that it is saying that we would become blind to the Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. It goes on to say that with the blindness we would not be able to see afar off.
Perhaps this is talking about how we need to keep our minds focused on Christ and the coming Kingdom of God. That we will forget that we were cleansed from our old sins if we do not.
Notice the Greek word that represents "cannot see afar off":
From a compound of the base of G3466 and ωψōps (the face: from G3700); to shut the eyes, that is, blink (see indistinctly): – cannot see afar off.
Notice that it can mean "to shut the eyes" it is almost like you will not want to see afar off. We don't want to see Christ returning so we keep our minds focused on earthly things instead of God's Kingdom.
We begin to think that because we have all this knowledge about God and His Plan that we have all that we need. This puts us into a situation where there is no growth.
But look again at the 7 things that Peter said would correct that:
- Virtue(goodness)
- Knowledge(joy)
- Temperance(temperance)
- Patience(lonsuffering)
- Godliness(peace)
- Brotherly Kindness(gentleness/meekness)
- Love(love)
These are the things that correct that if we have them in abundance in our lives. I think that I will do a series on each of these things that we are told to add to our faith. Maybe it will help a few of us at least to open our eyes so that we can once again see God's Kingdom and our part in it. And to see clearly the "knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
If you look closely at these things you will find that they mirror the fruits of God's Spirit. Each of us has been given that Spirit and we should be showing these fruits in our lives.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Perhaps then we can hear clearly Christ knocking on our Door and open to Him so He can come in and teach/sup with us.
(Rev 3:19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
(Rev 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.
