1. Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns a method of estimating the error occurring in the calculation of the spatial and temporal position of a mobile by a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The Global Positioning System is a well-known system for determining from the positions of a number of satellites, known at all times, the spatial and temporal position of a mobile provided with a GPS receiver capable of receiving and processing data from the satellites of the system which comprises 18 satellites in orbits such that most of the surface of the Earth can be "seen" by at least four satellites. At present up to nine satellites are used to determine the position of a mobile on the Earth but only four satellites are needed to determine the position of the mobile in time and in space in terms of four variables: x, y and z, the spatial coordinates of the mobile in a predetermined frame of reference, and its temporal coordinate (i.e. the date at which the mobile is at the calculated position, this date being specified in universal time).
The GPS receiver associated with a mobile includes means for:
selecting a set of four (or more) satellites visible from the point at which the mobile is located, and
calculating the position of the mobile in time and space from data supplied by the selected satellites.
The conventional GPS system offers 95% probability of a maximum error of 100 meters in the calculated horizontal position and 157 meters in the calculated vertical position. In other words, there is a 95% probability that the error in the horizontal position is 100 meters or less and the error in the vertical position is 157 meters or less. The GPS system guarantees a global accuracy which is a system constant.
A specific criterion for selecting the four satellites to be used by the GPS receiver to calculate the position of the mobile is used to select from all constellations (i.e. all sets) of four possible satellites from all the satellites in view that which can yield the guaranteed global accuracy of the GPS system in calculating the position of the mobile. This criterion C is proportional to √Tr[(AT.A)-1 ], where:
A is the matrix: ##EQU1## αij, for i varying between 1 and 4 and j varying between 1 and 3, being the direction cosine of the angle between the jth coordinate axis and the straight line segment joining the mobile to the ith satellite and the subscripts 1, 2 and 3 being respectively associated with the abscissa, ordinate and third (z) axes, and
Tr is the trace of the matrix (AT.A)-1 i.e. the sum of its diagonal elements, AT is the transpose of the matrix A and (AT.A)-1 is the inverse of the matrix AT.A.
The coefficient of proportionality used to calculate C allows for all margins of inaccuracy of the GPS system. This constant coefficient therefore has a very high value for obvious reasons of security.
The criterion C is associated with a tolerance threshold and if this threshold is exceeded it is assumed that the corresponding constellation cannot guarantee the global accuracy; the GPS receiver then selects another constellation of four satellites and this process is repeated until the constellation yields an acceptable value of C.
Given the high value of the proportionality coefficient the criterion C is systematically penalized, i.e. a constellation may be rejected because it does not satisfy the global criterion C although in practise the accuracy with which it would enable the specific position to be calculated would be acceptable.
In some applications, for example construction of tunnels, installation of satellite antennas, sporting events and recreational sailing, for example, the GPS receiver can calculate the position of the mobile by integration over very long time periods so that the effects of the various sources of noise are minimized and the position finally calculated has an accuracy greater than the global accuracy guaranteed by the GPS system.
This is not possible in other applications, especially civil aviation. In this case it is not possible to wait for the system to integrate over a long time period. The accuracy achieved is then the guaranteed global accuracy, which is insufficient in the field of aviation. Likewise, the 5% inaccuracy is obviously intolerable in this field.
Consequently, given the hazards that it entails, the conventional GPS system is currently restricted to use in applications such that there is no great penalty in calculating the position of the mobile by integration over very long time periods.
The use of the criterion C is thus not only too constraining and penalizing but also insufficiently precise in many applications.
In military applications the GPS system uses a different transmission frequency than the conventional system. The data transmitted is encoded and cannot be decoded by a civilian user who does not have the appropriate decoder. In military applications the GPS system guarantees to a 95% probability a maximum error of 30 meters in all three dimensions. The criterion C employed is the same.
The guaranteed global accuracy and the use of the criterion C raise the same problems in military applications as use of the GPS system in civil applications.
Consideration might be given to estimating the error in the calculation of the position of the mobile by the GPS receiver. A method of this kind is described in the patent application JP-1 026 177, for example. The estimated measurement error, dependent on the calculated position, is obtained by multiplying the latter by a coefficient representing the degradation of the geometrical precision obtained with the GPS system (called GDOP, HDOP or PDOP in this system).
This coefficient is characteristic of the global inaccuracy margins of the GPS system. The error estimated by this method is therefore still a global error which is unsatisfactory in many applications and raises the same problems as the criterion C.
One object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method of supplying a conventional GPS system user with an estimate of the error in the calculated position which is more accurate than that produced by the prior art method.
Another object of the present invention is to enable more refined selection of the constellation of satellites to be used in calculating the position of a mobile.
The present invention consists in a method of estimating the error in the calculation by a GPS receiver carried by a mobile of the spatial and temporal position of said mobile in a predetermined frame of reference in which x, y and z are respectively the abscissa, ordinate and third coordinate of said position and t is the date in universal time at which said mobile is at the position (x, y, z), said position being calculated from data supplied by at least four GPS satellites selected by said GPS receiver to form a calculation constellation,
said estimate of the error being represented by a vector ε whose components are respectively the estimated error on the abscissa dx, the estimated error on the ordinate dy, the estimated error on the third coordinate dz and the estimated time error c.dt where c is the speed of light in vacuum, said estimate being effected by said GPS receiver for each calculated position and ε being given by the equation:
K is a matrix with N rows and four columns where N is the number of satellites in said constellation such that: ##EQU2## αij for i varying from 1 through N and j varying from 1 through 3 being the direction cosine of the angle between the jth coordinate axis and the straight line segment joining said mobile to the ith satellite of said constellation, the subscripts 1, 2 and 3 being respectively associated with the abscissa, ordinate and third axes,
εr is a vector with N components URE1 through UREN where UREi for i varying from 1 through N is a datum supplied by said ith satellite giving the mean radial error between the theoretical position of said satellite and its actual position on the straight line segment joining said ith satellite to a point in the geographical area on the Earth seen by said ith satellite, the mean being calculated at the points of said geographical area at which a GPS ground station is located.
The solution provided by the invention is based on the observation that the URE (User Range Error) supplied regularly by the GPS system can be used to evaluate the error in each position calculation. By weighting the vector εr by the matrix K the best estimate of the error in the position calculation is obtained.
The method in accordance with the invention can produce an estimate of the accuracy of the calculated position that is no longer global but rather associated with a relatively small geographical area so that the estimated error may be deemed to be equal to the actual error in the calculated position.
The error in each position calculation is estimated. This enables the user to accept or reject the calculated position depending on whether the error in calculating this position as estimated by the method of the invention is above or below a predetermined tolerance threshold, for example.
The constellation highly advantageously comprises at most all of the GPS satellites visible from the mobile.
The greater the number of satellites used in the calculation the greater the reliability of the results produced by the method in accordance with the invention.
If N is greater than 4, solving the above equation by the least squares method yields the following solution giving the best estimate E of ε:
To provide the user with a criterion that is easy to use, the method in accordance with the invention may further comprise the following operations:
a precision P is calculated from the components of ε by the equation: ##EQU3## P is compared with a predetermined tolerance threshold, and said GPS receiver selects another constellation if P is above said threshold.
If E is used instead of ε, the terms in ε are replaced by the terms in E in the calculation of P.
The invention also consists in a GPS receiver adapted to implement the method as defined above.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description given by way of non-limiting illustrative example only.
FIG. 1 shows in a highly schematic form the component parts of a GPS receiver used to implement the method in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating steps of the method invention.
It is possible to obtain by theoretical means an equation including the vector e representing the error in the calculated position and whose components are respectively the abscissa error, the ordinate error, the third coordinate error and the time error. This equation is:
δ.sub.r =A.e (1),
where δr is a vector with four components ΔR1 through ΔR4. ΔRi for i varying from 1 through 4 is a theoretical bias. Equation (1) is used conventionally to prove that the criterion C is sufficient to guarantee the global accuracy in respect of the calculated position.
Consideration could be given to using this equation to implement the method of the invention to determine the exact error in the position calculation. However, the bias ΔRi is a theoretical datum which does not exist in reality in the GPS system. This theoretical data corresponds to the mean radial errors in the distance between each point on the Earth and the satellite in question. This obviously cannot be calculated.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is based on the fact that, to obtain a good estimate of the vector e, it is possible in equation (1) to replace ΔRi by data UREi whose origin and advantages will now be described.
In the GPS system each satellite has an associated URE (User Range Error) value. To determine the URE relating to a given satellite all relay stations on the ground with the satellite in view calculate the radial error, i.e. the error on the ground station to satellite line between the actual position of the satellite and its theoretical position (i.e. its position as calculated before launch). This is possible because each ground station knows its own position exactly. Each ground station therefore has its position calculated by the satellites of the system and deduces their actual position from the difference between its position as calculated and its exact position. The URE is then calculated as the mean of the radial errors determined by all the ground stations which have the satellite in question in view.
The URE is a physical reality in the GPS system. It is consequently accessible to the GPS receiver. It varies with time and with the geographical area in which the mobile is located.
The URE values are calculated and uploaded regularly into the satellites by the ground stations so that they change as the satellites drift.
Finally, each satellite is assigned a bias enabling the GPS receiver to estimate and take account of changes in the URE between two uploadings from the ground station.
Calculation with ΔRi replaced by UREi in equation (1) provides a rigourous estimate of the vector e, as explained above.
To estimate e the GPS receiver begins by selecting a constellation of satellites in the same manner as described in the preamble, i.e. using the criterion C, possibly generalized to enable the use of N satellites (FIG. 1) where N is greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to the number of satellites that can be seen by the mobile.
If N is equal to 4 it is possible to calculate directly a vector ε whose components are the estimated error in the abscissa dx, the estimated error in the ordinate dy, the estimated error in the third coordinate dz and the estimated time error c.dt from the equation εr =K.ε, in which:
K is a matrix of N rows and four columns: ##EQU4## αij, for i varying from 1 through N and j varying from 1 through 3 being the direction cosine of the angle between the jth coordinate axis and the straight line segment joining the mobile to the ith satellite and the subscripts 1, 2 and 3 being respectively associated with the abscissa, ordinate and third coordinate axes, and
εr is a vector with N components URE1 through UREN where UREi varying from 1 through N is the value of the URE associated with the ith satellite.
If N is greater than 4 there are more equations than unknowns. The best estimate E of ε is then given by the following equation, using the least squares method:
in which KT is the transpose of the matrix K and (KT.K)-1 is the inverse of the matrix (KT.K).
In some applications the components Dx, Dy, Dz and c.Dt of E may be used directly. In this case a reference vector Eref is defined beforehand and by comparing the same ranked components of the vectors E and Eref it is possible either to retain the calculated position or to reject it if the differences between certain coordinates of E and Eref are too large.
It is preferable to compare the norms of the vectors E and Eref. This calculates a precision P defined by the equation: ##EQU5## where Dx, Dy, Dz and c.Dt are the components of E.
The above considerations regarding the calculation of P apply equally to replacing E by ε and Dx, Dy, Dz and c.Dt by dx, dy, dz and c.dt, respectively.
If P is above a threshold Pref determined beforehand on the basis of the required accuracy, the GPS receiver can indicate this to the user by means of a visual or audible alarm, for example. The result of comparing P and Pref can also be used to cause the program to be continued differently in the receiver, for example by generating a bit at 0 or at 1 depending on whether P is less than or greater than Pref.
The invention therefore makes it possible to establish a simple and highly reliable criterion for rejecting the position calculated by the GPS receiver. If the calculated position is rejected the receiver can select another constellation and calculate the position again. If the accuracy is still insufficient the GPS receiver can select other constellations until the required accuracy is achieved.
In the case of applications in civil aviation the user can either accept the position calculated by the GPS receiver if the accuracy as determined by the invention is sufficient or reject this position in favor of a position determined by the inertial navigation system of the aircraft.
In applications where integration over long time periods is acceptable the invention can significantly shorten the calculation time, which is also highly advantageous.
Referring to the single figure of the accompanying drawing, the method in accordance with the invention may be implemented without difficulty on a circuit board C inside a GPS receiver R. The URE are obtained very easily from the message transmitted by each satellite of the constellation chosen by the receiver and E is calculated quickly because it entails only inverting a square matrix of the ninth or tenth order maximum and calculating products of matrices.
Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment that has just been described and any means may be replaced by equivalent means without departing from the scope of the invention.

Former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch had some fun with former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor through the power of social media.
On Monday, McGregor was arrested after having an incident with a fan after he allegedly took a phone away from the man and then smashed it before walking off with it in Miami Beach, Florida. McGregor was then arrested on charges of strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief.
Lynch decided to have some fun with while bringing up her fake mugshot after being arrested in storyline. She tweeted, “Hope he didn’t take fake mugshots in the hallway.”
In the past, Lynch has expressed interest in teaming up with McGregor to take on Ronda Rousey and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle in a mixed tag team match.
This came up when she was asked about a potential WWE show at Croke Park, which is an 82,300 seat venue in Ireland.

The Mysterious Demise of Mr. Mojo Risin'
What led to the premature death of Doors' member Jim Morrison?
Posted January 30, 2015
Jim Morrison, the poetic lyrical voice of The Doors, died at the age of 27 in Paris, France. On the group's next-to-final album (Morrison Hotel, 1970) before his untimely demise, sounding a lot like he just "woke up this morning and got myself a beer," Morrison (Mr. Mojo Risin') famously wails, "The future's uncertain, and the end is always near." Very existential stuff. Life is inherently insecure, and death an everpresent inevitability. Clearly, Jim Morrison recognized these existential facts of life. But one wonders what Mr. Morrisons's state of mind was at the time he wrote that lyric, recorded the raunchy but rockin' "Road House Blues" track, and some time soon after died of an apparent drug and alcohol overdose. Had he succumbed to nihilism? Or "clinical despair"? Was his slow death a sort of passive suicide? An escape from his existential Angst?
Accounts of Jim Morrison's mental state during his four-month retreat to Paris after leaving Los Angeles are varied and conflicting. There are some indications, such as certain letters he wrote to friends and business associates, that he was happy and optimistically planning a future life in Paris. On the other hand, there are reports of very heavy alchohol abuse ("Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar."), excessive cigarette and cannabis smoking, erratic behavior, mood swings, and possibly a final fatal heroin overdose. According to Sam Bernett (2007), a former New York Times reporter and French friend of Jim's, Morrison died (probably from respiratory arrest) of an unintentional nasal heroin (and alcohol) overdose in a notorious Parisian nightclub, and his lifeless body was then moved to his apartment to avoid a scandal. This version of events clearly contradicts (but in some ways, seems more credible) than the description of what happened by Jim's long-time girlfriend Pamela Courson, an alleged heroin addict, who told police that they had spent the night together drinking, and that Morrison became quite ill during the night, vomiting blood, and was discovered by her in the bathtub (fully clothed?) deceased the next morning. In either case, the French police suspected no foul play or evil deeds such as homicide. Courson herself reportedly died of a heroin overdose several years later in California.
Whatever demons Morrison was trying to escape from in Los Angeles (including an appeal of his conviction on obscenity charges and pending jail sentence) evidently accompanied him across the Atlantic, and much like the glaring gargoyles atop Notre Dame, were a constant presence in Paris. Toward the end ("This is the end, my only friend, the end."), he was having serious health problems such as asthma, stomach ulcers, coughing up blood, and had gained a great deal of weight, becoming bloated and easily winded. Morrison had always, according to friends, been obsessed with death. A very existential theme ("No one here gets out alive."). Did he harbor an unconscious death wish? Mortality is certainly one of life's "ultimate concerns" (Tillich, 1952). Death anxiety rumbles constantly beneath the surface of consciousness but is deliberately denied or avoided by most. But, paradoxically, chronic denial or evasion of death anxiety can lead to a morbid obsession regarding mortality.
Jim Morrison had attained fame, money, women, artistic recognition and admiration beyond even his wildest imagination. But he rejected that celebrity existence in Los Angeles because he felt he had lost himself, hoping to rediscover who he really was while living as an expatriot in Paris. It seems he really had become lost; ultimately, hopelessly so. Morrison may have been in the throes of a full-blown existential crisis, a crisis not only of identity, but possibly of a lost sense of meaning and purpose in life. Viktor Frankl (1946/1985) referred to such a painful and disorienting state of felt meaninglessness and purposelessness as an "existential vacuum." Morrison may have been running from this existential crisis by moving to Paris, where living in a foreign land led to a loss of familiar moorings, making his existential vacuum even more pronounced, disorienting and disturbing. Moreover, he had at that time relinquished his musical outlet for his creativity (and his working relationship) with The Doors, wanting to write more poetry solo, though it is not clear he was doing so. It may also be that Morrison fell victim not only to nihilism, influenced perhaps by his favorite existential philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, but to a condition we could describe as "clinical despair."
Despair, as Soren Kierkegaard (1849) suggested, is a universal human experience, and a core concern in contemporary existential therapy. At times we all experience despair about relationships, work, or world events, but typically it dissipates pretty quickly and life goes on (at least until the next existential crisis). Pathological or "clinical despair" (Havens & Ghaemi, 2005) occurs when despair deepens and becomes chronic, causing diminished quality of life and impaired daily functioning. Major depressive disorder exemplifies clinical despair, but despair may masquerade as a multitude of mental disorders. (See my prior post.)
Clinical despair consists of a deep discouragement, hopelessness, and loss of faith in one's ability to find meaning and fulfillment and to create a satisfactory future. Frankl (2000), drawing on his horrific Holocaust concentration camp experience, defined despair in the simplistic but powerful formula: D = S – M, or despair is suffering minus meaning. The basic clinical implication for contemporary existential therapy is that the meaningless suffering of despair can be addressed by helping patients courageously confront and discover some personal or transpersonal significance in their suffering. Or to provide despair some meaningful creative expression. Chronically avoiding or denying existential despair, and the daimonic (Diamond, 1996; May, 1969) in general, sets the stage for clinical despair. Indeed, as both Kierkegaard and contemporary research on "depressive realism" (Alloy & Abramson, 1988) suggest, existentially despairing or depressive individuals may be responding to a more accurate perception of existential reality. The key is how they cope with such a stark vision of existential reality, in both its dreadful and beautiful aspects.
Nihilism results when clinical despair is permeated by a sense of life’s absurdity (Camus, 1942/1955) and unfairness, loss of faith and courage, and a bitter rejection of meaning, moral values or any sense of existential purpose. Nihilism commonly underlies the chronic depressive symptoms, malaise and ennui of individuals seeking psychotherapy, though it may not be recognized as such by most clinicians. Nihilism is the refusal to courageously and creatively affirm life despite despair, and this negative, gloomy outlook customarily marks the starting point in existential psychotherapy rather than its journey's end. This is why psychotherapy can often be helpful to individuals suffering from nihilism and clinical despair. Avoidance or denial of existential reality via substance abuse or other self-destructive compulsive behaviors is doomed to failure. (See my prior post.) It is only by confronting and coming to terms with the tragic and sometimes brutal existential facts of life that nihilism and clinical despair can be overcome. This is the purpose of existential therapy.
Finally, there is the serious problem of suicidality, a very real danger in the treatment of clinical despair. Suicide serves as an escape from the patient's past and present problems, suffering, reality, responsibility, and from his or herself. But typically, it is not that the depressed person no longer desires to live; rather, they are rejecting how they have been living and who they have become. In this regard, Nietzsche's notorious remark that the thought of suicide has saved many lives remains relevant: We must constantly choose between life and death, between being and non-being. And we possess the power, responsibility, and freedom to do so. Paradoxically, a conscious recognition of this freedom to destroy one's existence can catalyze the commitment to constructively change one's life, but only when this dialectical tension and anxiety is courageously confronted, tolerated and accepted rather than destructively acted out. In the latter case, especially in the absence of therapeutic support, such suicidal tendencies can be manifested suddenly and deliberately or drawn out passively and indirectly over the course of many years. But tragically, the final outcome always remains the same.
Based on varying accounts of his activities in Paris in the several months prior to his death, officially from "heart failure" (there was no autopsy performed), there seems little doubt that Jim Morrison was self-destructive if not passively suicidal. The depression and malaise that set in at the very height of his international success as a musician and poet in Los Angeles continued to stalk him in Europe. We may never know the true source of his depression, nihilism and clinical despair. But, given his great creativity, it is likely that he had lived with these demons most of his life. In this sense, Jim Morrison was a "daimonic genius" (Diamond, 1996). But he suffered a similar fate to other daimonic geniuses like Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, Richard Wright, Robin Williams and fellow musicians Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. In his mesmerizing poetry and music, Morrison sought to give voice to his inner demons--despair, rage, alienation, death anxiety, dread--and provide them some creative expression. At the same time, these inner demons drove him relentlessly into a downward spiral of self-destructive behaviors leading finally to his tragic death in 1971. By then, Morrison had become what I call a "dysdaimonic genius," i.e., someone who has become destructively possessed by his or her demons. The daimonic is both destructive and creative, but trying to dampen it down with drugs and alcohol makes it doubly dangerous. In the end, drugs, alcohol, his art, and the seductive charms of Paris were sadly not enough to help Morrison "break on through to the other side" of his existential crisis. Extremely aptly, Morrison's tombstone at Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris, the place he wished to be buried, bears the following Greek inscription: ΚΑΤΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ ΕΑΥΤΟΥ, roughly meaning in keeping or concert with or obedience to his own daimon, his guiding inner spirit or soul, the divine spiritual power that impelled his actions, both creative and destructive, and determined his destiny.

Most articles about business reputation management focus on what can go wrong outside of your control – the bad reviews, the angry customers, the drop in rankings in the search engines. But one of the most important components of online marketing for local businesses is in what you publish. Business social media accounts should be carefully managed with a clear social media policy to ensure only the right language goes out about you and what you do.
To help avoid potential issues and improve the performance of your business online, there are some things you should avoid posting to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other social media accounts. By avoiding these big red flags and focusing on what works to promote your brand and engage with potential customers, you can build a loyal following and control how people perceive your company.
Copy-Pasted Posts from the Same Channels
Today’s social media management tools allow you to quickly and easily automate the process of producing content. You can write a single tweet or Facebook post and publish it to every one of your social media channels – multiple times over if you so choose.
While scheduling is a powerful tool that allows you to stay ahead, publishing on important topics, holidays, sales, or other hot subjects well in advance, it can also be dangerous if not used properly. Avoid automation of posts that syndicate blog posts or that post the same content over and over again to multiple channels.
Sharing or Reposting Things You Find Funny
It’s not easy to manage a business account. You want it to read as simultaneously human and engaging, but professional and on-brand. Silly photos of kittens, memes that don’t relate to your core offering, and reposts of potentially divisive topics can be at the very least useless in the branding of your business, and at worst damaging to your prospects’ perception of you.
If you really want to spend time every night looking for fun images and sharing them on Twitter, start a personal account and use it as such. Reposting quotes from politicians or tweeting out images of cats doing silly things is distracting and potentially a big turnoff to your prospects and customers alike.
Tone Deaf Trend-Hopping Posts Outside Social Media Policy
Every few months you hear about a brand making a catastrophic mistake with a post that completely misses the point. Sometimes they just miss the context. Other times, they attempt to make a joke that falls flat because it’s in poor taste.
Do your research. Find out why a hashtag is trending, look at other posts using that information, and if you’re still not sure, just don’t post it. Using recent news can be an effective way to hijack attention on social media, but it can also be damaging if that news isn’t appropriate for your most recent sales promotion.
Negative Posts Targeting Competitors
It’s so tempting. You know you’ve wanted to do it before, and you’re not alone. The ease with which you can jot out a few characters and turn up the flames on a competitor is almost comical. So it’s important to wield extra self-control when you see a post that begs for a sharp retort.
If done properly, posts aimed at your competitors can be clever and funny and can actually help your brand (and theirs). Friendly rivalries like the very public advertising discourse between Pepsi and Coke are a part of our marketing culture. But angry, petty, or worse yet, inaccurate posts about your competitors never work. They make you look unethical and can prod your competitors to respond – not always with a post, sometimes using legal action.
Do your research before posting on a competitor, and if you’re unsure, avoid wading into a potentially dangerous fight.
Pushing Customers to Leave Reviews
It’s perfectly okay to request reviews from customers online as part of your social media policy. But there’s a fine line between a quick request and actively pressuring people who trust your business to do something they may not want to do.
Not only is it unethical and probably against the terms of service to push people to leave a review for you, it tends to make people angry and can backfire as a result. There are very specific rules about contests that entice people to leave reviews, and there can even be legal consequences if you take it too far, such as the hotel in New York that tried to fine guests for leaving negative reviews about them on Yelp. It didn’t turn out well for them.
Smart Posting that Benefits Your Customers
The best business social media policy is one that mutually benefits both you and your customers. It allows you to share interesting information about your business, engage with people and discuss their experience with your business, and grow your brand. At the same time, they gain interesting information about your industry, and can ask questions and leave reviews directly, knowing they will get a response.
It’s a win-win situation for both you and your customers and a great way to encourage reviews and improve your reputation online.

What to bring: A towel to cover your head, all other equipment provided
This yoga class will involve nurturing physical poses, supported by the props, staying each pose for a few minutes. The aim is to let go in a safe environment. You will feel refreshed after the workshop and you will learn poses to practice at home.
Please email me to secure your place: email@example.com
I started to practice in a “flowy” class which compliments my Iyengar style and I really enjoy it. Most students are regulars and some of them arrive early and place the mat to their “usual spot”.
Have you noticed that we all have a favourite spot? Who would have thought that yoga is like real estate – location … location!!!
As in most classes – a few students arrive late. A few weeks ago I had to “uproot” four times to accommodate late comers and let me tell you I do not travel light when it comes to props. As an older person with back problem I use more props than the mostly younger crowd in the class. I sensed that the person next to me felt that my belongings took up too much space. As the class was already in progress we did not discuss the issue but this experience made me think about our tolerance, our need for space, expectation in a class, consideration and respect of others.
Let’s consider the space first: each yoga studio has a preferred way of setting up the room which suits the size and shape of the room best. In the absence of the teacher’s direction I would set up my mat with the narrow end against the wall in a location that I do not have anybody directly opposite me(if the room is narrow it means staggering the mats). This set up leaves enough space between the mats for props, jumpers etc. In square shape rooms generally the wall sides fill up first and some students might be practicing in the middle of the studio. Be aware of any windows behind you and leave your bigger props in storage until you need them! In savasana it is better if your feet do not point towards a fellow student’s head.
I like exploring new studios and today I participated in a relaxation class close by. Was not sure what to expect and was curious. We spent most of the time laying on our back, releasing our hips, engaging and strengthening the pelvic floor and the core muscles. After an hour I started to wonder if we will do anything else and felt that my shoulders are stiff. We had background music from a DVD chanting “Govinda” almost continuously. I do not practice or teach with music and at times I hoped for some quietness. Eventually the teacher changed the music and we did some sitting poses with shoulder work. The relaxation (Savasana) was very good and I finished the class in good spirits and my back feels better. The moral of the story: each teacher has a different style and if we are new to her/his class we need be open to the experience and embrace it!
Based on my 25 years on the mat I complied the rough etiquette for attending yoga classes:
Please be punctual, ready to start practicing at advertised time; turn off your mobile phone; do not eat 1.5 – 2 hours prior class;
For big classes – if there is a designated area for personal belongings use it,
Advise the teacher if you have any medical issues, menstruating or pregnant,
As a student you are expected to take more responsibility for your learning than in normal school environment – you know your body better than your teacher; if something does not feel right (sharp pain) come out of the pose!
Generally there will be an easier and more advanced variation for most poses. Choose the one which fits you best on the day;
Please keep your area safe and pack up all of your props at the end of the class;
Wearing layers is helpful, apart from that wear comfortable clothing;
Enjoy your class!
Arrive early so you have a chance to talk to your students – especially if someone is new to the class;
Start and finish on time;
Be respectful of your students, ask if they want an adjustment or not,
Create a safe environment for all;
Be aware of your limits, sometimes referring a student to a specialist might be the best advice;
Keep up your own practice and participate in professional development;
Enjoy teaching the class – remember you learn as much from your students as they learn from you!

Genghis Khan by Miike Snow is the epitome of infectious. I could listen to this track on repeat for hours and it’ll be just as ridiculously catchy as the very first time that I heard it. It’s the kind of song I want included at every party I attend and on any roadtrip playlist I make.
Swedish indie-pop band Miike Snow released Genghis Khan as the second track off of their third full length album iii (Atlantic/Downtown Records) which was released on March 4.
If you love the track as much as I do, then you need to watch the accompanying video as well. It won’t disappoint.

Leeds United still targeting play-offs insists Neil Warnock
The Whites travel to Middlesbrough tomorrow night
Monday 11 February 2013
Leeds manager Neil Warnock has admitted his time is running out at the club but reaching the npower Championship play-offs is all he is focusing on.
The Whites travel to Middlesbrough tomorrow night five points adrift of the top six having dropped two valuable points at Wolves on Saturday.
Danny Batth's first league goal in stoppage time saw Wolves clinch a late point at Molineux, leaving Leeds to rue a missed opportunity to close the gap on the play-off places.
Warnock, whose contract runs out in May, confirmed earlier this week no talks about his future at the Elland Road side had yet taken place.
But the 64-year-old former QPR and Sheffield United manager, still thinks promotion is achievable for Leeds.
"We've 16 games left and we'll be giving it a bloody good go," Warnock told the club's official website.
"We were disappointed not to take all three points on Saturday, but you move on and we'll look to the Middlesbrough game.
"I've said before that time is running out for me as a manager and I want to go up. I want to get in the play-offs. That's why I'm here, that's what I want to achieve.
"That's why I'm more disappointed and frustrated than anyone when we come away with a point from a game we should have won."
Boro manager Tony Mowbray has backed his players to end a minor crisis in their promotion push after Saturday's 3-2 home defeat by Barnsley marked their fifth league defeat in a row.
Middlesbrough, who had spent several weeks in second place behind leaders Cardiff, have slumped to sixth and were booed off at both half and full-time at the Riverside this weekend.
"There was an anxiety there that was compounded by the concession of an early goal," Mowbray told the Northern Echo.
"The place took off when we got 2-1 in front and everybody was bouncing, but the pin was put in the inflated balloon again by the goal we conceded. Then the anxiety returned.
"That's football and you have to deal with that, there's no magic way out of it. There's no magic formula, you just have to work hard."
Elsewhere, Hull will be looking to regain second place with a win at home to Derby.
The Tigers dropped points away to Brighton at the weekend to slip into fourth, behind Leicester and Watford on goal difference.
It was their first away defeat since November, and manager Steve Bruce thinks the problems lie in a lack of cutting edge up front since Matty Fryatt and top goalscorer Sone Aluko have been ruled out with Achilles injuries.
"We have to remember we have been without Aluko for two months and he has been our best player," Bruce told the Hull Daily Mail
"We have also been without Matty Fryatt. He consistently gets 15-20 goals every season so those are two big players missing.
"But we dust ourselves down and get ready to go again."
In the other game, Brighton will be hoping to record their second successive win and keep up the pressure on the top six when they take on Blackburn at The Amex.
The Seagulls are one place and two points behind sixth-placed Middlesbrough and assistant coach Mauricio Taricco wants to back up Saturday's victory with another three points.
He told seagulls.co.uk: "There is no question that if we want to nick a place in the play-offs it's all about winning until the end of the season.
"We are close but teams in the play-offs are having a bad run so we have got to expect them to go on a good run at some point.
"It's up to us and there are still a lot of games to go. We still need to become more consistent in terms of results, not so much performances."

Reading: Light It Up
Light It Up
Lighting is more than just a safety precaution, ensuring that your path from point A to point B is illuminated enough to avoid a rogue pair of sneakers left to clutter the hallways after a long day. The right lighting can create ambiance, set the mood for guests, and elevate your rooms’ design quicker than you can say “Clap on. Clap off.”
01. HEAVEN SENT
The Union series from Shelter Bay will brighten the day of any aspiring interior designer. With a colourful array of cords, cages, finishes (hello, oil slick!) and shades the options for illumination are endless. The real pot of gold at the end of this rainbow? All components range in price from $70 to $90, meaning you can create custom lighting on a dime. Starting at $70 from Shelter Bay.
02. SILENCE, PLEASE!
The Slab light speaks volumes about award-winning designer, Lukas Peet’s ability to create a lighting series that strikes the perfect balance between form and function. While the luminous acrylic steals the show (form), its dense felt covering reduces ambient sound by absorbing sound waves (function). Perfect for when you’re throwing subtle shade to the table next to you. $1072.50 for SLAB 90 from ANDlight.
03. EYE, SPY
If you’re searching for the perfect pendant light, look no further than ANONY’s Ohm fixture. These golden globes feature an orbital shade, a design-element inspired by the human eye. Lowering the “eyelid” controls the lights’ output, giving your space a cheeky wink (and potentially alluring an attractive stranger from across a crowded room). $395 sold individually from ANONY.
04. MODERN LIT
The Toronto based duo behind the Distillery Districts Lightmaker Studio are known for fusing vintage and mid-century influences into one helluva modern fixture, and the Float Wall is no different. Part sculpture, part sconce this collection would look just as at home in the entrance of a converted loft as it would in the lobby of Miami’s Delano hotel, making this local gem an international sensation. Starting at $4600 from Lightmaker Studio.


Royal Palm Ladies Golf ’19: Suneyah Wins Gross; Ayesha Net Winner
LAHORE: The summer Ladies Golf Tournament 2019 lured the golf playing ladies of the city to the awesome Royal Palm Golf Course on a hot summer day.
At the conclusion of this exclusive ladies golf competition, was Suneya Osama of Garrison Golf Club showing plentiful and exuberant golfing talent to come first in this initiative launched by the golf playing ladies of Lahore.
As regards to the competition itself, the event succeeded in highlighting the liveliness and vigor of the participating ladies and though the victors were only a few, those who did not win titles played with assurance and reflected good energy.
In the race for gross honours first position was captured by Suneyah Osama who hit accurate drives and never strayed from the fairways. Runners up gross position went to Ana James Gill and she lost to Suneyah by a margin of one stroke.
Top performer in the net section was Ayesha Hamid of Lahore Gymkhana. Her experience helped her to reflect composure in her shot making and mature putting on the greens. Syeda Imam Ali Shah of Gymkhana got hold of the runners up net slot, while Ayesha Moazzam (Gymkhana) came third.
Juniors girls title went to Laiba Shah (Gymkhana). In the allied events nearest to the pin prize went to Suneya Osama and the longest drive was hit by Ana James Gill.

Chandigarh: Weapons were allegedly recovered from the farmers who were protesting outside the residence of Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij. The police are investigating the matter and some of the protestors have been detained by the cops.
The local BJP leaders have demanded that the security be stepped up in the state in light of the protests. The police are also probing how the swords reached the protest site and with what intention they were brought to the venue.
The incident may be viewed on the backdrop of recent activities by farmer protestors in Haryana. On Wednesday, for instance, some protestors reportedly tried to block the cavalcade of Home Minister Vij. The incident also witnessed stone-pelting on the vehicles.
Several rallies of ministers, including that of Chief Minister Khattar had to be cancelled as the farmers blocked their routes and stopped them from enteting the villages to hold political rallies.
A grim reminder of Republic Day violence
The development comes just days before the Independence Day celebrations. The incident is a grim reminder of the massive chaos that unfolded in the national capital on Republic Day this year when a tractor rally of the farmers turned violent. A group of farmers drove to the historic Red Fort and even unfurled a flag atop the iconic structure.
The farmer bodies had earlier alleged that miscreants had entered the protests sites to 'malign the image' of the protesting farmers. Various farmer organisations have been protesting against the three farm laws demanding that the 'black laws' be rolled back. The government, as well as farmer bodies, have held several rounds of meetings only to tighten the deadlock between the two parties of the three laws.


Understanding consumers' response to their concerns can help marketers devise a more effective communication strategy.
Consumers are unlikely to return to their normal consumption habits due to safety concerns, a Kantar study has said. The majority of consumers said they do not expect to re-engage with normal economic activities like shopping, for at least a month.
The research has also identified six different customer types according to their response to the pandemic. While 34% of consumers are either indifferent or consider rules to be excessive, most people (65%) are concerned about the pandemic, albeit on differing levels.
Brands need to develop their strategic messaging addressing these different categories and their concerns. The current financial uncertainty has also pushed people towards investments or savings, with one in four consumers plan to take out more insurance.

Posted by Mike Hintze
Associate General Counsel, Legal & Corporate Affairs
Today, we submitted comments on the Federal Trade Commission’s preliminary staff report on consumer privacy, “Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change: A Proposed Framework for Businesses and Policymakers.”
These comments to the FTC follow the comments we submitted at the end of last month on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s privacy green paper, “Commercial Data Privacy and Innovation in the Internet Economy: A Dynamic Policy Framework.”
We commend both the FTC and Commerce for their thoughtful work on the important issue of protecting consumer privacy. Given our long-standing commitment to privacy and data security, Microsoft welcomes the opportunity to participate in these dialogues and to work with government, consumer advocates and others in industry to develop a robust privacy framework that will withstand rapid technological advances while fostering innovation.
As both agencies are developing privacy frameworks, our comments urge them to ensure that these frameworks foster:
• Flexibility in order to permit businesses to develop innovative privacy technologies and tools.
• Certainty about whether their privacy policies and practices comply with legal requirements, such as through government-recognized safe harbor programs.
• Simplified data flows in order to facilitate the data flows – including those across borders – necessary to enable more efficient, reliable and secure delivery of services to consumers at lower prices. A balanced approach will enable providers to meet users’ expectations in realizing the benefits of the Internet in ways that also protect privacy interests.
• Technology neutrality to avoid preferences for particular services, solutions or mechanisms to provide notice, obtain choice, or protect consumer data – which could chill innovation by deterring providers from developing alternative or improved approaches to protect consumer data.
As a company that has focused on consumer privacy for many years, we hope our comments provide the Commerce Department and the FTC with helpful feedback. We have included illustrations of privacy protections built into our own products and services that might be more generally considered within the framework.
By working together, we believe industry, governments and other stakeholders can provide strong consumer privacy and data security protections while also enabling innovation and facilitating the productivity and cost-efficiency offered by new business models and computing paradigms.
