The world premiere of the new Sherlock Holmes movie was held in London last night with lead star Robert Downey Jr in attendance.
Downey Jr, who took on the title role in the Guy Ritchie-directed film, was joined by co-star Jude Law and celebrities including Heather Graham and Gwen Stefani on the red carpet in Leicester Square.
According to PA, organisers had brought in old-fashioned street lamps to help recreate Victorian London for the event.
Downey Jr spoke to reporters about his on-set chemistry with Law, who plays Holmes's sidekick Dr John Watson in the movie.
He said: "They're talking about Jude and I like we should be doing romantic comedies together or something. But this film is not a comedy and it's a love affair of sorts. Â
"But I think that Holmes and Watson are aspects of all of us and I think that we knew when to yin and yang back and forth and we were just a good team."
Meanwhile, Ritchie claimed that he could not think of "anyone more appropriate" to play Holmes than Downey Jr.
Sherlock Holmes will go on general release on Boxing Day in the UK.

Union Budget 2017-18 will be one of the most highly anticipated and keenly awaited budgets in recent times. It will be a historic one as for the first time that the Railway Budget is being merged with the General Union Budget. The Union Budget will be presented on February 1, 2017, a month earlier than usual. This year’s budget may include certain popular announcements, largely to appease the inconvenience caused by demonetisation, along with measures to revive domestic consumption and investment, which have taken a hit since November.
Some announcements expected in Budget 2017-18 are:
Increasing basic tax-exemption limits: This has been one of the most popular public demands, especially from the urban salaried class – To raise the basic tax exemption limit of Rs 2.5 lakhs. With consumer spends dipping since due to demonetisation, an increase in the basic tax exemption slab is likely to provide a boost to our slowing economy.
Another popular demand has been to decrease tax rates. Many believe lower tax rates, effective in many economies, actually have the potential to bring in greater revenues as they have a much broader tax base.
Currently, the tax rates are -
- 10 % for incomes above Rs. 2.5 lakhs
- 20 % for incomes above Rs 5 lakh
- 30 % for incomes above Rs 10 lakh
Further incentivizing digital payments: In order to move towards a less-cash economy, the government has already announced several incentives to boost payments through digital mediums. Service tax on payments for transactions up to Rs 2000 through debit/credit cards have been removed, 0.75% discount has been announced for digital payments at petrol stations. Many expect more incentives to be announced in Budget 2017-18 to boost digital payments, including extension of benefits to mobile-wallet users as well.
The government has been planning to move away from being a heavily cash-driven economy to tackle black money and corruption and do away with the various inherent inefficiencies and additional costs, cash transactions come with.
Incentivise financial services to go paperless: Paper-heavy transactions are not only time-consuming and inconvenient for both the customers and the financial institutions, but also more costly. With the government’s ‘Digital India’ campaign in full swing, one of the key needs today is for increased digitization of processes by financial institutions to provide customers with easier and more convenient processes. The government, in Budget 2017, should encourage financial services to build paperless processes for all products, be it loans, credit cards, insurance, mutual funds, etc. Steps like waiver of service taxes, stamp duties or other government levies for paperless processes will incentivise both financial institutions and consumers to opt for digital processes.
Increase retail investor participation in mutual funds: Currently, tax deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh is available on ELSS investments under Section 80C. However, ELSS shares this slot with amount paid towards housing loan principal and various other investments like PPF, life insurance premiums, pension plans and Employee Provident Fund. Increasing the upper limit of Section 80C or introducing a separate subsection (just like the Section 80CCD(1B) available for NPS investments) will encourage more long term investments into equity mutual funds. This will increase retail investor participation in capital markets and thereby, raise our AUM/GDP ratio from around 7%, one of the lowest in the world.
Encourage long-term retirement savings: The government can incentivize investment in pension products like NPS, which have not been widely popular because of the taxes involved. Currently, the scheme partially falls under Exempt Exempt Tax (EET) as only 40% of its maturity amount is tax free. This puts NPS at a sharp disadvantage over PPF and EPF, whose maturity proceeds are tax-free. The government, in Union Budget 2017-18, may have a re-look at NPS.
Changing taxes on capital gains from stock investments:The Government has hinted at introducing new rules for taxing capital gains from stock investments. Under the present laws, gains made from stocks held for a year do not involve any tax implications. The no-tax slab now may be raised to include only stocks held for a minimum of two or three years instead of the current one year. Currently, there is a 15% tax on gains made from stocks held for less than a year; this may be increased to 20%. Also,there is currently no limit on the tax-free gains, which might be capped at a high amount.
Continue with the Section 80EE deduction: The government maylook to continue to encourage ‘Housing for all’.Last year, the government provided an additional deduction of Rs 50000 to first time home buyers. It had an upper limit of Rs 50 lakh on the value of the property and Rs 35 lakh on the loan amount. The reason was to incentivise low-cost home buyers and affordable housing projects. This may be extended to the next financial year as well.

SC/SGT(3) (NS) Muhammad Shakir Juanda credits his success in silat to support from the entire community — and now, he’s paying it forward.
TEXT: KEENAN PEREIRA |
PHOTOS: SC/SGT(3) (NS) MUHAMMAD SHAKIR
It has been nearly 20 years since SC/SGT(3) (NS) Muhammad Shakir Juanda first stepped onto a silat mat, but the 32-year-old still remembers it like it was yesterday. “My late grandfather took me to my first class,” he tells Frontline. “I was overweight back then and my family thought martial arts would help me become more active and gain confidence.” Little did SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir realise that this would prove a defining moment in his life. Two decades on, he is one of Singapore’s foremost silat exponents, having represented the nation in numerous tournaments.
But the road to becoming a professional athlete wasn’t always easy. Training was gruelling and there were times when it seemed as if his best just wasn’t enough. “That’s when I realised that I needed the three ‘Ds’ — discipline, dedication and determination — to succeed,” says SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir. Armed with this belief, he began to train harder and smarter. His efforts eventually bore fruit and he started to win competitions, at home and abroad.
SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir credits his success to the support of his family and loved ones, who are his “biggest fans”. “They are there at every match, cheering me on and making me want to do my best,” he says. SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir also received significant support from the Singapore Police Force, where he enlisted for his National Service in 2010. He was glad that the Home Team Sportsman Scheme, which allows athletes to take time off from their duties to train or compete, was extended to him. Additionally, Sport Singapore took care of competition funding and accommodation — this allowed SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir to focus fully on training and honing his art. “It was more support than I could ever have dreamt of,” he says, adding that the experience inspired him to join Sport Singapore after retiring as a professional athlete. At the sports body, he gives back to the local sporting community by guiding budding martial artists and rowing enthusiasts, and extending them the same support that he was fortunate to have received back in the day.
LIFE AMID A PANDEMIC
Like many, SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir has spent the past months working from home. Ever the optimist, he is quick to point out the positives of the current situation. “I have so much more time to spend with my family,” says the father of two, whose wife is expecting a third child next February. But being away from silat has also made him miss the sport. “Although I don’t practise as much anymore, I am grateful to still be involved in it, motivating and mentoring our junior sportsmen and sportswomen,” he concludes, proving that you can take the athlete out of the sport, but not the sport out of the athlete.
HALL OF FAME
SC/SGT(3) (NS) Shakir’s silat achievements:
- Team Singapore athlete for silat (2004-2018)
- Two-time champion of World Pencak Silat Championship (2012
- Represented Singapore for international competitions, including the SEA Games

Laos is a country in Southeast Asia with a rich development potential based on vast water resources as well as minerals including gold. Its suitably located land trade routes had also contributed to the prosperity of the country in previous centuries. In more recent time its tourism potential has attracted much attention and the country even received the most favored tourist destination status from a leading European tourism organization, partly due to architecture, history and heritage aspects. In numerous villages of this rural-based economy there has been much potential for achieving food reliance in ecologically conducive ways.
Unfortunately all this potential was first harmed by the highly exploitative French colonial rule, then Japanese invaders, and then French colonialists again. The brave people of Laos continued to resist all this to finally achieve independence. Tragically, before they could properly tap the potential of various development opportunities, they were attacked in the most destructive ways by the USA Air Force as well as the CIA.
No, the people and the country of Laos had not harmed the far away located, mighty USA in any way at all. Despite this the people of Laos faced their heaviest destruction from the USA, worse than what they faced even during direct colonial rule, due to two factors.
First, in the course of their freedom movement, it is the communist force called the Pathet Lao which had emerged as the strongest, probably because it was the closest to protecting the interests of peasants and workers. Hence it could only be expected to be friendly to the communists in their neighboring country of Vietnam, particularly as the Vietnam communists were led by such a great and popular leader as Ho Chi Minh. To start with neither the communists of Vietnam or of Laos had any quarrel with the USA at all and in fact expected it to help them in their anti-colonial struggles.
However the USA establishment had by then taken a non-rational decision of coming down hard upon any and all communist forces and led by such thinking they got involved in a long and prolonged war first in Vietnam and then in Laos. In the case of Laos a more specific complaint of the USA was that some land routes of Laos were being used to supply provisions to the communists in Vietnam and these had to be cut off.
Anyway, the USA embarked on a twin strategy of very heavy aerial bombing of Laos, including its villages, and at the same time using the CIA to organize an illegal and secret land war on the land. The CIA organized war was largely kept secret from not just the world but even from the people and elected representatives of the USA for a long time. This illegal war initially also used the cover of development aid agencies to make contacts. Then ethnicity based groups which could be used to fight the communists were carefully identified and helped with money and arms to attack the communist forces and their supporters. This created such great divisions in the country that it became very difficult for certain people to live together in the same country again, as some of them were looked upon as traitors, and several of them had to be settled in the USA.
However even worse damage was done by bombing attacks, because of the very destructive weapons used as well as the extremely large scale of the bombings. Between 1964 and 1973, about 2.3 million tons of bombs were dropped in this small country, more than the 2.1 million tons dropped by the USA in Europe as well as in Asia together in the entire course of World War II. In terms of bombing relative to population or per capita bombing, no other country in the world has ever suffered heavier bombing than this. Over a period of about 9 years, one bombing was carried out every 8 minutes (day as well as night).
Nearly 270 million bombs, mostly cluster bombs, were dropped. Cluster bombs are known to be one of the most painful weapons. A single cluster bomb, which in turn can contain as many as 200 bomblets, explodes a little before hitting ground and the bomblets can be very violently dispersed, often getting lodged in critical organs of the person or child who has been hit, or resulting in several festering open wounds whose pain has been compared to acid burning. Completely innocent civilians and villagers were hit more often. It became impossible to live in several villages and these were deserted and people became refugees. In a small country nearly 200,000 persons died, nearly double this number were seriously injured, nearly 7,50,000 became refugees.
This was not all. About 30 per cent of the dropped bombs did not detonate immediately and remained hidden in various places to pose serious danger in future. Nearly 50,000 persons including a very large number of children have been killed, seriously injured and disabled in later years due to these hidden bombs. Many such injuries resulted in amputations. As several bombs resembled balls or toys for children, a large number of children were injured or died when they picked up bombs, despite the fact that a campaign of warning was launched.
This danger of unexploded ordnance (UXO) is likely to continue for long, with 63 such accidents being reported as late as 2021, because the USA has invested so little in removing this danger. According to one estimate, while the USA spent $16 million per DAY on the bombings for 9 years (on the basis of current prices), it has spent only average of $ 5 million per YEAR since it started contributing, that too very late, to the UXO clearing work in the 1990s. This contribution was increased after some time not so much by the USA government acting on its own, but because of the wide awareness generated by some good efforts like the Legacies of War project which increased public awareness of this great injustice and tragedy. A very small percentage of the estimated UXO has been cleared yet, probably less than 5 percent. It has been estimated in U.S. studies that the UXO risks can continue beyond 100 years.
It is important not only for the USA to contribute much more for UXO clearance but also to pay huge compensation to Laos because the bombings and the CIA land war in Laos were completely illegal. The USA war against Laos was for the USA just an extension of its war with Vietnam; it had no legal justification and was shockingly unethical in all aspects. The only reason, if it can be called a reason, the USA had was that it was committed to curbing any communist force, and isn’t it an irony that after all that happened, the tiny country of Laos with its 8 million people is today more committed to communism than China is!

Last week, we got into the spirit of the holiday season here on Jammin’ with Jamie!
But I understand: the holidays aren’t all constant strings of twinkling holiday lights, warm gatherings of loving families and friends, and 24/7 holiday cheer. There are things that annoy us, things that stress out and overwhelm us, and, of course, there are those grumps who will groan, growl, grunt, and grumble their way all the way through January 2.
So let’s get all those frustrations out! Once we vent, we can keep these songs in our back pockets for when things get strained this season. We’re diving deep into a den of…
It… is… time. For Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/St. Nicholas Day/winter/many other holidays!
But I understand: while the snow gives some people a magical feeling, it leaves others cold. And while the holiday season is a joyous time for many, it can also be overwhelming, stressful, and even isolating.
But not to worry! Jammin’ with Jamie is here for you, and we’ve brought a sack full of…
On Jammin’ with Jamie, we often look to and motivate ourselves for the future. However, if one “lives in the future” 100% of the time, that gets exhausting, difficult, and even frustrating, as not everything works out the way you hope. And even when things do work out exactly as you hope, thinking ahead to the next “thing” will rob you of any enjoyment of what you’ve already earned and accomplished.
I’m here to entertain and inject some fun into your weekend, but I’m also here to help. So let’s enjoy our jammin’ time together with a mix of…
I’m an actor, writer, singer, director, DJ, and so many other things. I’ve also produced films. However, I’ve never produced a play.
… Until now.
I’ve long loved the show The Complete Works of William Shakespeare(abridged). So, in January, I started pursuing putting on an independent production of it.

Rebel Wilson is feline good
The cast of the big screen take on hit stage show Cats is purring perfectly ahead with the addition of Rebel Wilson.
The Pitch Perfect scene-stealer (pictured, right) will play old Gumbie cat Jennyanydots in director Tom Hooper’s adaptation.
Moving on to less certain casting news, and rumours are circling that Jurassic World’s Chris Pratt is in talks to tackle a new film based on TV show The Saint.
Let’s hope he does a better job of playing Simon Templar than Val Kilmer did in the bizarre 1997 flick.

HAZARIBAG: Congress MLA Yogendra Sao, who has been creating headlines of late, raised many eyebrows after he visited a person, who was jailed in connection with an extortion case, at Loknayak Jai Prakash Narayan Central Jail here.
The agriculture minister spent over an hour with Randhir Kumar Gupta, who was sent to jail in an extortion case two years ago.
Ironically, the minister was one of the accused in the case which was registered with Hazaribag police and was in jail for several months. He was released on bail.
The minister also met one shooter inside the superintendent's office.
nitally it was presumed that the minister visited the jail to offer floral tribute to the Lok Nayak's portrait in the special cell inside this historic jail (where the great Socialist leader spent his imprisonment during the freedom movement) on the occasion of his birthday.
The minister, however, was not available for comment. Hazaribag Jail authorities confirmed the visit of Sao but did not disclose further details.


Last week the world's first 3-D printed gun fired its first shot, at a private shooting range in Texas. The gun was entirely made from plastic except for a nail used as a firing pin.
The plastic firearm was created by Cody Wilson and his nonprofit Defense Distributed on a second-hand, $8,000 3-D printer. Wilson, a 25-year-old law school student, worked on the gun's creation for more than a year before the first shot was fired last week. He is a libertarian and "crypto-anarchist," and created the group with the intention of developing a firearm anyone could reproduce using 3-D printing technology.
I recognize that this tool might be used to harm people. That's what it is: It's a gun … But I don't think that's a reason to not put it out there. I think that liberty in the end is a better interest.
The weapon, which took four hours to print, does include a six-ounce steel chunk which puts it into compliance with federal law banning weapons that don't set off a metal detector. But Wilson aims to make the blueprint for the gun publicly available, and there's no guarantee those who reproduce it will include the metal and comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act. New York Sen. Charles Schumer said for this reason printable weapons should be banned:
Guns are made out of plastic, so they would not be detectable by a metal detector at any airport or sporting event. Only metal part of the gun is the little firing pin and that is too small to be detected by metal detectors, for instance, when you go through an airport … A terrorist, someone who's mentally ill, a spousal abuser, a felon can essentially open a gun factory in their garage.
Stratasys, which manufactures the 3-D printer Wilson used to make the plastic gun, confiscated the original printer he was using last year when it found out what he was using the technology for. Defense Distributed now has a federal license to manufacture firearms, and Wilson said he inserted the steel chunk into the gun because of the the nonprofit's "strategy is overcompliance."
The Undetectable Firearms Act expires at the end of the year, and Schumer said it needs to be updated to ban printable weapons. He also announced that he and Rep. Steve Israel, also a New York Democrat, will introduce the Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act.
What do you think? Should 3D printed guns be legal? Take the poll and comment below.
This poll is now closed, but the debate continues in the comments section.

I purchased these boots as an extra decorative pair as I am an avid cowboy boot wearer. I own several different brands of boots, and these are by far the worst quality and not the cheapest. For the price, these are definitely NOT worth it! I ordered a pair in my typical size and they were HUGE!!!! I sent them back and exchanged them for two sizes (1 whole size) smaller...but the boots looked completely different. They weren't the bright, pretty red as depicted in the photos. They were a dark color...a cross between maroon and the color of blood. The edging around the soles (on both pairs) appeared almost frayed and cut...not smooth like one would expect. Overall, the quality was poor and I wouldn't recommend them, especially for the $XXX price tag!!!!
- Would you recommend this to a friend? No
I typically don't spend this much on boots but splurged a little bit. I had to stretch out the upper calf a little bit but other than that they fit wonderfully. These boots are beautiful!!!

New Strategy in Fight against Cancer
News Sep 22, 2008
Scientists have identified a new strategy in the fight against cancer, having found a mechanism for switching off a chemical signal that is intimately linked to progression of the disease.
Dr Hilary Ashe and her team at the Universities of Manchester, Dundee and Harvard hope their work will, in the future, help develop a therapy to slow the onset of cancer, working at a molecular level instead of attacking the cells with harsh radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
Their Wellcome Trust-funded study, published in Genes & Development, has worked out the mechanism which controls how long a protein with a key role in cancer remains in the nucleus where it carries out its important function.
Tumour suppressor proteins have essential roles in reducing the risk of cancers in different tissues. One of these tumour suppressors is a protein called Medea which acts in the nucleus of normal cells to regulate hundreds of genes necessary for proper cell development.
People predisposed to certain cancer types have greatly reduced amounts of Medea in the nucleus. As a result, the genes which Medea would regulate are not controlled properly leading to the development of cancers. Reduced Medea activity is associated with 90% of pancreatic cancers, 60% of gastric cancers and 30% of breast, prostate and cervical cancers.
Dr Ashe explained: “We have worked out the mechanism by which Medea is moved from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in normal cells. This will be important for cancer cells where there is only a tiny amount of Medea that is only in the nucleus for a short time. One way to fix that is to keep it in the nucleus longer. We now know what directs the protein out of the nucleus so if we stop that, it will compensate for the reduced amount of protein.
“By doing this in early stage cancerous cells, we will increase the chances that cells grow properly and thus greatly reduce the development of cancer.”

Groundwater Management Plan
In the late 1800's, development of the Delano-Earlimart area began with a water supply originating from numerous artesian wells. However, by the 1930's groundwater supplies were quickly diminishing to levels that threatened the area's continued economic viability. In July, 1950 the Bureau issued a report that verified the endangered water supply conditions of the Delano-Earlimart area, the "Delano Cone".
With the introduction of a surface water supply from the Friant Project in 1951, groundwater conditions have improved dramatically. Considering that this area once had the largest groundwater overdraft in the San Joaquin Valley, it is quite an accomplishment. However, the 1987 - 1993 drought took its toll as District growers were forced to rely on groundwater. With plentiful rainfall in 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998, some replenishment of the groundwater reservoir has occurred, but not all of the losses have been recovered.
The District has a current groundwater management plan. The plan is compliant with the requirements of AB3030 and is reviewed and updated on an as-needed basis.


The U.S. Department of Transportation is taking applications for up to $675 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Rural Surface Transportation Grant program. Townships are eligible to apply through August 21, 2023.

, NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 15 – National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich is expected to appear before the National Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee Thursday to explain Kenya’s apparent cash crunch that has stalled spending in various departments.
This follows summons by the committee led by chairman Mutava Musyimi (Mbeere South).
The cash crunch is said to have affected pay to parliamentary staff and related expenses, Members of Parliament, county staff and teachers who are yet to receive their September salaries.
The committee which is charged with oversight of the implementation of the budget had last week adjourned its investigations into the financial crisis after Rotich and Thugge failed to honour summons.
Rotich was said to be out of the country and was expected to jet back Tuesday evening from Peru.
The committee members said it is important for the CS to appear in person because the cash crunch is “too big” for the Principal Secretary.
Musyimi says MPs want to get a clear picture of the country’s financial position when the CS appears before them to explain the cause of the cash crunch which has affected operations within various ministries, Parliament and counties.
The Mbeere South MP said legislators want to know whether the government is facing a cash flow problem or if the country is broke.
The MPs said they are under pressure from their constituency staff and suppliers, many of whom have not been paid since the beginning of the current financial year on July 1.
In the current financial year, the Parliamentary Service Commission has a budget of Sh28 billion, with nearly one-third of the amount going to cater for MPs’ perks and salaries.

Public Papers - 1992
Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on Syria's Lifting of Restrictions on Syrian Jews
We are pleased to have obtained official confirmation from the Syrian Government on Saturday of the lifting of restrictions on travel and disposition of property for the Syrian Jewish community.
The Syrian Government has now informed us that, in the aftermath of President Assad's recent meeting with the leaders of Syria's Jewish community, all members of the Syrian Jewish community will be accorded the same rights as those enjoyed by all other Syrian citizens. We have been told that Syrian Jews will be allowed to travel abroad as families, on business, and for vacations. Further, the Syrian Government has removed difficulties encountered by its Jewish citizens with regard to the sale and purchase of property. The Syrian Government has also released the Soued brothers, who had been imprisoned for violating Syrian travel laws.
We welcome these decisions by President Assad and his Government. This administration has maintained a productive dialog with Syria's leadership on a number of important issues, including the peace process. The subject of Syrian Jewry has constituted an integral part of this dialog and has been raised by both President Bush and Secretary Baker with President Assad and other senior Syrian officials. We look forward to the full implementation of these decisions affecting Syrian Jews.

A closer look at the outside
In a nod to those of us who keep our PCs under our desks, the Silencio 652S sticks its front-panel I/O up top. The power and reset buttons are on the edge of the front bezel, though.
We've got four USB ports (two SuperSpeed and two regular), mic and headphone jacks, an SD card reader, and a Cooler Master logo that looks like it should light up but actually doesn't. The only LEDs are on the front panel. The power LED is embedded in the power button, and the storage activity LED sits just below it.
Here's the Silencio 652S with its top, side, and front vents laid bare. The top cover simply slides off, but the side cover is kept in place by a couple of screws. Undoing those requires removing the side panel.
As for the front door, a simple magnetic latch keeps it shut. The door can also be removed, but that involves taking off the entire front-panel assembly and pulling out the pegs that hold the hinges together. Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone would bother. The front door is one of the Silencio 652S's selling points, since it's lined with acoustic foam. Thanks to all the venting along the sides, I doubt it impedes cooling performance much, if at all.
Here's the acoustic foam that lines the front door. The foam spans the door's entire height, and it feels soft and rubbery. From what I can tell, it's about two millimeters thick.
In its default configuration, with two pre-installed 120-mm fans up front, the Silencio 652S directs intake airflow through a removable dust filter. The filter is kept in place by a single plastic latch at the top, so it's painless to pop off and vacuum (or shake off outside, if the wind is right).
The side panels are also lined with foam, but the foam here is about half as thick, and it's made of a different material. It feels a lot more rigid, and the texture isn't the same.
That completes our external tour. Read on for a look at the Silencio 652S from the inside.

Today, Gimbal – the leader in location-powered marketing and advertising solutions – launched Trends, its location and foot traffic analytics platform. Built atop the richest independent location data set in the industry, Trends arms marketers, business analysts, finance teams, municipal planners, and real estate developers with a comprehensive view of consumers’ physical-world behaviors over time, enabling their organizations to make more informed business decisions.
Marketers have access to countless digital tools to understand online consumer behavior and determine what drives conversion. Yet knowing where consumers go in the physical world has historically been difficult, even though 90% of all commerce in the United States still takes place offline. With Trends, businesses have a more comprehensive view of offline consumer behavior than ever before.
Trends aggregates visitation patterns of the top brands and retailers across nearly five million unique locations. The platform then identifies and highlights shifts in market share and consumer preferences within retail, grocery, finance, QSR, and other verticals in North America. These insights can help explain regional under or over-performance, effectiveness of competitive efforts, impact of marketing campaigns, OOH efforts, or inform planning for new site development.
Trends enables marketers to refine their analysis by date range, region, state, brand category, sub-category, and more, all in real-time via web-based dashboards. This granularity allows teams to dig deep into the types of activities consumers engage in prior to and after visiting a specific location, as well as the places they have high and low affinity for. Trends also surfaces how seasonal patterns impact dwell-time and frequency of visitation, ultimately allowing marketers to use the data for the purposes of planning, targeting, attribution, and more.
“Our goal at Gimbal is to build powerful technology that bridges the gap between the online and offline worlds. Trends empowers businesses to understand not only what happened in the past – but why. It also helps them make more informed decisions about what is likely to happen in the future and the actions they should take to reach consumers more effectively.” said Matthew Russo, COO of Gimbal.
Consumers expect a seamless and personalized experience across all touchpoints. Today, with the launch of Gimbal Trends, marketers are able to uncover the insights they need to meet and exceed those expectations.

Gimbal translates location data into intent, measurement, and insights to help organizations transform their businesses, maximize marketing relevance, and humanize messaging for consumers. Gimbal is headquartered in Los Angeles and provides advertising and marketing technologies to the world’s leading brands and retailers interested in understanding the physical world.

Draped in a long, heavy robe the color of a starless sky, she raised her knotted hands above her head, resembling in her fury, an enormous bird of prey. The villagers called her Sorceress, claimed her garden bewitched, but they were fools, afraid of shadows, their own and everyone else’s, especially hers, for she was a woman alone, with long silver curls, skin wrinkled as the apricots she dried, and those eyes, somehow still youthful, glowing like the moon and stars she danced beneath alone. Witch! What else could explain the life she lived?
Only the most desperate knew the truth: she was a Healer, her garden lush and vibrant with medicinal herbs, other greens, and an abundant array of plump berries. People came to her from all corners of the kingdom, when all other hope was lost, falling before in fear and reverence, like the thief-of-a-neighbor who fell at her feet, sobbing, desperate, terrified. He’d been caught stealing rapunzel from her garden to satisfy his wife’s cravings, for he was too miserly to fulfill the supplications of his wife, though he had the money, bags and bags of coins he’d buried in the yard. By the light of many moons, the Healer had watched him dig, bury, dig. Because they were close neighbors, her garden wall could not muffle the disgraceful words he spoke to the woman heavy with his child.
The Healer resisted the urge to bash in his skull with a stone.
She knew that he kept his voice low, his appearance genteel. He had the village fooled. But she had seen his wife too, her turquoise eyes clouded with despondence, despite the life blossoming within her. The Healer thought of his wife and unborn child as he sobbed, begging for his life, offering anything, anything, if only she’d spare him.
“I want the child,” she said.
She settled into her demand. “I want the child your wife is carrying.”
The man hastily consented and scrambled away, forgetting the rapunzel he had picked.
The Healer believed she could save the mother and baby, set them on a new course, so while the kingdom slept, she prepared the tower where she would shelter them both. The Healer knew it would be a girl, for she had glimpsed her in the scattered light of the woman’s irises.
The Healer sat vigil until she heard the mother’s cries across the garden wall. Rushing to her side while the husband cowered in the corner, the Healer calmed and whispered, “I’m here. You’re safe. Breathe,” but not even she could stop the torrent of blood.
Before the mother faded from her daughter’s life, she begged the Healer, “Save my child from the life I’ve lived. There has to be another way.”
The Healer knew there was.

In the world of consumer electronics, “Android” and “console gaming” are two terms which are both heard often, but until recently, were almost never before heard together. Sure, Android may be an excellent mobile platform developed on the attractive principle of open application development, but is it really suitable as a platform for high fidelity gaming consoles to run? A number of next generation gaming consoles that are soon to be or already have been released are Android-based; many such consoles were shown off at this year’s recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES for short). Here’s the basic run-down on three relatively new, next-generation consoles that all run with Android as their operating system.
The first and likely most prestigious of the Android-based consoles found at CES was the Nvidia Shield. The Shield is a handheld console; here are its main features:
· The primary control system is a built in dual analog controller; it largely resembles an Xbox 360 controller
· The built in display is five-inch flip up 720p LCD screen.
· Has Google Play game support; this support on the Android based Shield appears to be a big push on the part of Google to get into the market of serious console gaming.
· Contains an HDMI display and audio output for use of an external display, anything from a monitor to TV screen.
· Has the ability to wirelessly stream games from any computer with a recent Nvidia GTX graphics card, so it has the potential to appeal to the PC gaming crowd as well. The Shield can also be configured simply as a control interface for a PC, to play games that aren’t supported on the Shield.
While the Shield is a sound product with the solid performance delivered by most high-end Nvidia products, a lot will depend on how good of a job Google does in improving its gaming marketplace and reaching out to big game developers and publishers. There is no doubt, however, that the Shield’s high-end GPU will allow for high performance on modern games. The Nvidia Shield also features.
Another lesser-known console that makes use of Android is the Kickstarter-funded Game Stick. Here’s the details:
· It provides a console with an HDMI port that allows the player to play Android games on their TV.
· The device is completely separate from the core gaming industry, and is designed to play games natively designed for Android only.
· The Game Stick simply provides a television interface to do so. It is availablefor a price under $100.
Another similar and also Kickstarter-funded console is OUYA:
· OUYA is another TV console that allows the user to wirelessly access OnLive’s free-to-play gaming catalog
· While OUYA, like the Game Stick, was not developed by a large brand name, the selection of games from OnLive that it supports tie it more into the mainstream gaming scene than the GameStick, which primarily only supports relaxed, small time games native to Android.
