In 1783, as George Washington waited for news of the signing of the Treaty of Paris, he left his military headquarters at Newburgh, New York to embark on a survey of the possible route of a canal which would connect the Hudson with Lake Erie. Determined to link the coastal settlements with the interior beyond the mountains, Washington had, ten years earlier, already lobbied the Virginia and Maryland Assemblies to establish the Potomac Canal Company, which was to make the Potomac River navigable as far west as possible, to link it with the Ohio and Mississippi River systems. Now, with American independence established, General Washington envisioned a a system of national waterways which would link the Great Lakes to the Ohio and Mississippi and to the rivers which flowed into the Atlantic.
I have lately made a tour through the Lakes George and Champlain, as far as Crown Point. Then returning to Schenectady, I proceeded up the Mohawk River to Fort Schuyler, and crossed over to the Wood Creek, which empties into the Oneida Lake, and affords the water communication with Ontario. I then traversed the country to the head of the eastern branch of the Susquehanna, and viewed the Lake Otsego, and the portage between that Lake and the Mohawk River at Canajoharie. Prompted by these observations, I could not help taking a more contemplative and extensive view of the vast inland navigation of these United States, from maps and the information of others; and could not but be struck with the immense diffusion and importance of it, and with the goodness of that Providence, which has dealt her favors to us with so profuse a hand. Would to God we may have wisdom enough to improve them.
Echoing John Winthrop's reasons for the Puritan colonization of New England, Washington sets out the motivation for the settlement of the American Midwest.
I wish to see the young people of this world at peace, all busy and happy in fulfiling the first and great commandment: Increase and multiply. As an encouragement, we have opened the fertile plains of Ohio to the poor, the unfortunate, the oppressed of the earth. All those who are overladen, broken down, seeking a soil to cultivate, may come and find the promised land flowing with milk and honey.
Sponsored by both George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, millwright James Rumsey worked on perfecting the steamboat while superintending the building of the Potomac Canal locks around Great Falls. The canal project was the most advanced engineering feat yet tried in America, and caused an excitement comparable to that when the Panama Canal was dug more than a century later. Before his two successful steamboat trials on the Potomac in 1787, Rumsey corresponded extensively with Washington on the uses to which the invention could be put.
I have taken the greatest pains to perfect another kind of Boat upon the principles I was mentioning to you at Richmond. I have the pleasure to Inform you that I have Brought it to the greatest perfection.... The power is immense and I am Quite convinced that Boats of passage may be made to go against the current of the Mississippi or Ohio River, or in the gulf Stream from the Leeward to the Windward Island, from Sixty to one hundred miles per Day.
Joel Barlow, future American minister to France, who would sponsor the work of Robert Fulton, published his poem ``The Vision of Columbus'' in 1787. In this work, Columbus is portrayed as languishing in a Spanish prison, doubting whether his discovery of America has brought any benefit to future ages. An angel appears to show him the future, which includes the following lines:
He saw, as widely spreads the unchannell'd plain
Where inland realms for ages bloom'd in vain,
Canals, long winding, ope a watery flight...
Meet the far lakes, the beauteous towns that lave,
And Hudson joined to broad Ohio's wave.
Oliver Evans, a Delaware wheelwright, invented and built a fully automated flour mill in 1785, the world's first fully automated factory. George Washington became one of the system's licensees in 1791, installing it at his Dogue Creek Mill at Mount Vernon. Evans went on to work on the automobile, railroad, gas lighting, artificial refrigeration, and the high-pressure steam engine.
The State of Maryland grants a patent for Mr. Oliver Evans' new Plan of applying Steam to Propelling land Carriages to travel with heavie Burdens Up and Down Hills without the aid of Animal fource with such Velocity as may be Convenient, and be guided by a person sitting therein Secure from the Inclemency of the weather.
``Prophecy by the Poet'':
The time will come when people will travel in stages moved by steam engines, from one city to another, almost as fast as birds fly, fifteen or twenty miles in an hour.
Passing through the air with such velocity, changing the scene in such rapid succession, will be a most exhilarating, delightful exercise.
A carriage will set out from Washington in the morning, the passengers will breakfast at Baltimore, dine at Philadelphia, and sup at New York, the same day.
To accomplish this, two sets of railways will be laid so nearly level as not in any place to deviate more than two degrees from a horizontal line, made of wood or iron or paths of broken stone or gravel, with a rail to guide the carriage, so that they may pass each other in different directions and travel by night as well as by day; and the passengers will sleep in these stages as comfortably as they now do in stage boats....
And it shall come to pass, that the memory of those sordid and wicked wretches who opposed such improvements, will be execrated, by every good man, as they ought to be now.
Evans published a pamphlet for the U.S. Congress, urging it to pass legislation which would extend the term of years allowed for patents on inventions, thus allowing inventors the time to bring their inventions into actual production.
The writer, however, begs leave to declare that he believes that as early in 1786, he himself had conceived and discovered useful improvements, which, if they had been promptly and extensively put into operation, and the savings or gains by the use of them collected into the public treasury, it would have been sufficient to have discharged the public debt, defrayed the expense of government, and freed the people of the United States from taxes.
The catastrophic results of the War of 1812 demonstrated the folly of the laissez faire attitude demonstrated by Presidents Jefferson and Madison. The American System faction within Congress therefore presented their argument for a dirigist development of infrastructure, a policy which was not to reach complete fruition until the inauguration of John Quincy Adams in 1825.
That a view of the extent of territory, the number and magnitude of navigable lakes, rivers, and bays; the variety of climate, and consequent diversity of productions embraced by the United states, cannot fail to impose the conviction, that a capacity exists in this country to maintain an extensive internal commerce. The variety of productions peculiar to the several parts, invites to the prosecution of a commerce of the most interesting kind. A commerce internal, subject solely to the regulations of the country, not dependent on, or materially affected by the vicissitudes of foreign competition, or collisions; the profits on which will rest in the country, and make an addition to the wealth of the nation. Such a commerce will in its natural tendency, create interests and feelings, consonant with the great interests of the community. Any practicable scheme, therefore, for the improvement of roads and inland navigation, having for its object the encouragement and extension of a commerce so beneficial, has strong claims to the attention and aid of a government, constituted to promote the general welfare.
Such improvement executed on an extensive scale, would unquestionably contribute to the general interest, and increase of wealth in the nation; for whatever tends to accelerate the progress of industry, in its various and particular branches, or to remove the obstacles to its full exertion, must, in the result, produce that effect. The contemplated improvement in roads and canals, by extending the communication for commercial and personal intercourse, to the interior and distant parts of the Union, would bestow common benefits, and give an enlarged faculty to the great branches of national industry, whether agricultural, commercial, or manufacturing.
The agricultural products, which at present from inconvenient distance, their weight, or bulk, are unportable, could then be carried to a distant market; the reduction on the charge for transportation would become an addition to the price; and a ready market, and increased price, enhance the value of the lands, from which the products were drawn.
To insure to the pursuits of useful industry in a nation, a state of the greatest prosperity, it is only necessary to protect their interests from foreign aggression, to leave them unrestrained by artificial provisions, and to remove, or meliorate, the natural obstacles to their exertion, by public works, rendering conveyance practicable and cheap.
Such public works, while they are calculated to subserve the pecuniary interests of every industrious class of the community, are highly important in a political point of view. The citizens, in the most remote parts, would be brought into close connexion, by a facility to commercial and personal intercourse. The common interests and identity of feelings thence arising, would, as a cement to the parts, bind together the whole, with the strong bond of interest and affection, giving stability and perpetuity to the Union. And as a means of security, tend to increase our capacity for resistance to foreign aggression by rendering less expensive, and more effective, our military operations. The disadvantages experienced, and heavy charges incurred, during the late war, for want of inland navigation along the seacoast, connecting the great points of defence, are of too recent date, and decisive a character, to require any other demonstration that a facility in inland communication, constitutes a principal means of national defence.
It is believed that improvements so important to the political and general interest of society, stand strongly recommended to the attention of the national legislature. The general government alone, possess the means and resources to give a direction to works calculated for general advantage, and to insure their complete execution.
In the winter of 1824-25, the prospects for the full implementation of the American System were never brighter. The Second Bank of the United States had been chartered in 1816, the Survey Act of 1824 allowed the government to loan West Point engineers to infrastructural projects, and John Quincy Adams was about to be inaugurated as President of the United States. To give a sharp impetus to the building of railroads, inventor John Stevens built a half-mile circular track in his backyard at Hoboken, New Jersey, and, at the age of 76, fashioned with his own hands the first steam locomotive in America. He invited ladies and gentlemen from New York to take a ride, and whisked them around the track at six miles an hour.
Stevens, one of the three original patent holders for the steamboat, had early lobbied Congress for federal patent laws that would protect advancements in steam transportation:
It is evident that from a reciprocal exchange of the production and manufactures of one country for those of another a general advantage would result to the whole. The earth would then be everywhere stimulated to bring forth with its utmost vigor; civilization and the arts would spread rapidly over the face of the globe; then, and not till then, might it be said that man was really the master of this world, with everything in it subservient to his will.
So many and so important are the advantages which these States would derive from the general adoption of the proposed railways that they ought, in my humble opinion, to become an object of primary attention to the national government. On the success of an experiment, a general system of internal communication and conveyance should be adopted, and the necessary surveys made to embrace and unite every section. It might then, indeed, be truly said that these States would constitute one family intimately connected and held together in indissoluble bonds of union.
The revenue which this mode of transportation would be capable of producing, would far exceed the aggregate amount of duties on foreign importation. It is an indisputable fact that the aggregate of annual interstate commerce is vastly greater than that of external commerce. The farmer would save four-fifths of his present expense in transporting his produce to market. Innumerable ramifications would be extended in every direction. The sources of private and public wealth would increase with a rapidity beyond all parallel.
There remains another important point--celerity of communication--a consideration of the highest moment. If the Proas of the Pacific can be driven at twenty miles an hour by the wind, I can see nothing to hinder a steam-carriage from moving with a velocity of one hundred miles an hour.
Infrastructural projects such as the Erie Canal unleashed an unprecedent wave of city-building. The spirit of nation-building was reflected in the comments of a West Point cadet to an English visitor: ``We must get up early, for we have a large territory; we have to cut down the forests, dig canals, and make railroads all over the country.'' Retired Navy Capt. Basil Hall, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, provides an account of the pace of that development.
On the 26th of June 1827 we strolled through the village of Rochester, under the guidance of a most obliging and intelligent friend, a native of this part of the country. Everything in this bustling place appeared to be in motion. The very streets seemed to be starting up of their own accord, ready-made, and looking as fresh and new, as if they had been turned out of the workmen's hands but an hour before--or as if a great boxful of new houses had been sent by steam from New York, and tumbled out on the half-cleared land. The canal banks were at some places still unturfed; the lime seemed hardly dry in the masonry of the aqueduct, in the bridges, and in the numberless great saw-mills and manufactories. In many of these buildings the people were at work below stairs, while at top the carpenters were busy nailing on the planks of the roof.
Some houses were half painted, while the foundations of others, within five yards' distance, were only beginning. I cannot say how many churches, court-houses, jails and hotels I counted, all in motion, creeping upwards. Several streets were nearly finished, but had not as yet received their names; and many others were in the reverse predicament, being named, but not commenced,--their local habitation being merely signified by lines of stakes. Here and there we saw great warehouses, without window sashes, but half filled with goods, and furnished with hoisting cranes, ready to fish up the huge pyramids of flour barrels, bales and boxes lying in the streets. In the centre of the town the spire of a Presbyterian church rose to a great height, and on each side of the supporting tower was to be seen the dial-plate of a clock, of which the machinery, in the hurry-skurry, had been left at New York. I need not say that these half-finished, whole-finished, and embryo streets were crowded with people, carts, stages, cattle, pigs, far beyond the reach of numbers;--and as all these were lifting up their voices together, in keeping with the clatter of hammers, the ringing of axes, and the creaking of machinery, there was a fine concert, I assure you!
Although the Jacksonians launched a full-scale attack on the American System, canceling the charter of the Second Bank of the United States in 1833 and revoking the Survey Act of 1824, the American dirigist faction found ways to keep infrastructural development on track. West Point engineers resigned from the U.S. Army in order to design canals, railroads, and harbor improvements. States invested their own funds in railroad development. And the federal government used its vast store of federal lands beyond the Allegheny Mountains as capital for financing infrastructure projects.
By the eve of the Civil War, the United States possessed a comprehensive railroad network, commented on here by Thomas Kettell, the editor of the Merchants' Magazine and author of various economic statistical works.
The great object of the railroad companies has not been so much to derive a direct profit from the investment, as to cause the construction of a highway, which should by its operation increase business, enhance the value of property, and swell the floating capital of the country by making available considerable productions of industry, which before were not marketable, since the influence of a railroad in a new district is perhaps if not to create, at least to bring into the general stock more capital than is absorbed in its construction.
The grand result is over 28,000 miles of road, which have cost, in capital and funded debt, $1,066,866,284, which has been expended in the period since the first road was begun. The expenditure of such an enormous sum of money, amounting to $54 per head for the average population during the 30 years in which they have been building, is marvellous in so young a country, which, 40 years before this outlay occurred, was mostly destitute of capital. The railroads, however, exist, and capital is now, at this moment, more abundant for general purposes than it was before the construction of the railroads. It is, in fact, cheaper in the general market, and in this we recognize the vast utility of the works in developing capital.
Charles Flint, the Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, provided
a section on agricultural improvements for a book entitled Eighty Years' Progress of the United
States. After describing the vast increase in the powers of labor effected by the invention of
agricultural reapers, balers, and threshers, Flint throws the result in the teeth of Parson Malthus and
his British System adherents.
These vast and acknowledged improvements in harvesting and threshing grain will be seen to be of
the utmost importance, when it is considered that we annually raise about two hundred millions of
bushels of wheat, and of rye, barley, and oats over one hundred millions, and that the resources of
the country may be developed, by the use of machinery, to an extent far beyond the reach of present
The reaper, the thresher, and the mower are types of the ever restless and progressive spirit of the
age. They point out to us a glorious future, in which they will accomplish for us and for our country
triumphs grander than the triumphs of arms, for they will develop the means of supporting the
millions of human beings which the implements of war can only destroy.
Could the learned Malthus--who proclaimed the gloomy theory that war, famine, and pestilence were
checks, designed by an all-wise Being to keep down the increase of population to a level with the
means of sustenance--now rise up from his sleep of death and see the population of England more
than doubled since his day, and that of this country multiplied many times, while the people are
better fed, and better clothed, with less labor and less suffering, with the possibility of a famine
wholly and forever removed, he might change his shameful doctrine, and adopt a more cheerful and
hopeful view of the providence of God. With an immense multiplication of the human species in all
civilized countries which have been devoted to the arts of peace and the development of their material
resources, a bountiful Father has sent us a superabundance of food, instead of famine, and has taught
us to rely on the exhaustless bounty of the fruitful earth, and upon his beneficent promise that seed
time and harvest shall never fail to supply the daily wants of his children.
But with all the progress which we have made in improving the implements of the farm, we have not
reached perfection. No bound is set to human ingenuity, and further means may yet be devised to
shorten labor and increase the products of the soil.
We cannot hope, nor is it desirable, to avoid labor. This is not the object of improved machinery; but
to make labor more attractive, agreeable, and productive; to bring into subjection the rude forces of
nature, and make them do our bidding and increase our stores; to redeem thousands of acres now
lying waste from wildness and desolation, and to make our country the granary of the world--these
are triumphs we may hope to gain from the introduction and use of improved machinery, and in this
view the subject commends itself to the attention of the highest intellect, and opens a field for the
labors of the noblest philanthropy.

After spending nearly a year looking for a host range we’ve finally found a range to host the classes that’s withing a reasonable driving distance of Sioux Falls. We’ll be teaching classes out at the Beacon Hill Club in Brookings; because of the time of the year there are only going to be a couple of classes, one in September and one in October. I’m working on getting the dates ironed out right now, but once I do I’ll have links posted to the signup page for each class.
Initially, I’m going to offer one class: Basic Pistol/Defensive Pistol 101. This is an entry level class for people looking to improve their skill with a concealed carry or home defense handgun. What will be covered in the class: the fundamentals of marksmanship, drawing from open and concealed holsters, reloading from open and concealed pouches, multiple shots on a single target and target transitions. Classes will be for a single, 8-9 hour day and will consume 300-400 rounds of pistol ammo. This is a shooting class, and will focus solely on manipulation and working the gun faster and more accurately.
What a student will need:
- A functioning handgun (pistol or revolver)
- Sufficient magazines or speedloaders to carry 30 rounds to the line
- Earpro/eyepro, hats are optional but encouraged
- Weather appropriate clothing
- Ample water
- Note taking device
- 300-400 rounds of ammo
- A holster that allows you to safely re-holster one handed (IWB or OWB)
- Sufficient magazine pouches or speedloader holders
- Concealment garment
A note on food – we will have a lunch break, however the range is a decent drive from any sort of fast food. I strongly recommend bringing a sack lunch, as well as de-lead wipes. Total cost for the full day class will be $150, which includes a $10 range use fee that goes directly to Beacon Hill.
If you’re interested in classes coming to Sioux Falls, shoot me an email at [email protected] to get on the mailing list for more information. I should be posting class dates and signups soon.

Morden Wharf is the site of a 19-acre masterplan for the southwestern end of the Greenwich Peninsula. The scheme by developer U+I proposes a mix of industrial, commercial, office and residential use, with a new public park along the riverfront. Designed by OMA, the site will be dramatically transformed to become an ‘iconic destination for London's Royal Borough of Greenwich’.
Working in collaboration with lead architect OMA, MSMR is appointed to help develop U+I’s vision for the site. This includes the design and coordination of over 1500 residential apartments spread across five 8-11 storey mansion blocks, two 15-19 storey, mid-rise blocks and four towers, ranging from 21-37 storeys.
Using a strategic space planning approach, which respects the evolving façade design, MSMR has developed the mix and distribution of apartments to maximise site efficiency, optimise layouts and to create a well-balanced spread of tenures across the scheme. MSMR is also advising on the layout and distribution of commercial, community, amenity and ancillary uses at ground and basement level.

But a supply crunch of the kind that sporadically hits the oil market seems unlikely in uranium. At Allied-Signal Inc., one of two American companies that converts yellowcake into a liquid for enrichment, Brian H. Grace, manager of marketing, predicted of the exporting countries, "in many cases they'll have to produce it because it's of such impact to their economies."
In many states, the cost of uranium is reflected in customers' monthly bills, through a fuel adjustment clause. But the effect on customers is likely to be small. At Commonwealth Edison, the nation's largest nuclear operator, Gary Wald, a spokesman, said nuclear fuel costs ran about six-tenths of 1 cents per kilowatt-hour, and that yellowcake represented only about one-quarter the cost of the fuel. The rest is in the cost of conversion of yellowcake to a liquid form for further processing, sorting out the uranium isotopes, a process called enrichment, and then fuel fabrication.
So if the cost of yellowcake fell by half, it would come to less than a tenth of a cent per kilowatt-hour. And the drop in the spot market will take time to work its way through to the contract market, which accounts for about 70 percent of sales.

Welcome to BlogFest 2o11 Hosted By A Journey of Books!
My name is Mahalia a.k.a Hales and I am excited to be a part of the party!
I have loved words since I can remember. I have read every genre out there. At different stages in my life I enjoyed different works.
Elementary- Laura Engles Wilder House on the Prairie Series, Judy Blume, A Little Princess, Where the Wild Things Are…and much more.
Middle School- Mafia Stories, The Babysitters Club, Black Poetry, Lord of the Flies, Autobiographies of important African American figures and young adult stories. Tiger Eyes was my fav then.
Highschool- I moved more into classic literature and onto mythology and military strategy. By the Time I hit Senior Year I’d read every book equivelant to a college grad student with English as a major. Then I found more romance, and I really fell in love. I could rattle of tons of authors but I’d leave so many more out! I found paranormal and the DarkHunter Series, I found Chic Lit and humerous mainstream stories with great characters , little focus on sex or relationships.
And then I found Erotic Romance. Not stories ninety percent sex but expressive stories with great heroes and heroines and a up close view of their intimate relationship, not only sexual but complex and emotional. It was fantastical. My scrabble word. I decided I wanted to…I had to write and began. I currently write in the following genres: Interracial Romance/Contemporary Romance/BDSM/Military Romance/Paranormal Shifters and Paranormal Demons.
A 1 Night Stand Story
Working for the Wichita Tribune is the best thing that’s ever happened to Rebekah Shayne, until she takes an assignment aimed to take down a prestigious matchmaking firm. She’s determined to ferret out the falsities, schemes, and swindling companies manipulating lonely souls.
Ashton Foster doesn’t believe in on line dating. When his mother takes charge of his personal life, he knows it’s useless to fight her and would rather go through a few dates with strangers than let her push the unending stream of locals down his throat vying for his pocketbook. In this he finds the perfect opportunity to downplay who he is and become a regular type of guy.
If she’d thought she suffered from butterflies coming into the establishment, entering the Aqua Lounge was much worse. She cast a surreptitious glance at the bar, her eyes widening at the sublime man chatting easily with the bartender. It was all Bekah could do not to fall over or drool. He presented a side pose, his relaxed shirt fitting the contours of his broad shoulders and back. Land sakes, when he stood up, she got the most delicious view of his ass. And what an ass it was—nice, round, and muscular. He stuck his hand in his pocket and shrugged at something the bartender said. She eyeballed him for all she was worth, getting the ogling out of the way. One glance was all she wrote. She hadn’t expected her date to be ultra hot. If not for her drenched panties, gravity would’ve pulled her cream along the inner seam of her thighs. The décor of the lounge fell away. Honed in on her date, she sashayed her way across the floor, adding a little bounce to her step, her breasts jiggling. The stool next to him remained unoccupied. She smoothed her kimono-style sundress to mid-thigh.
“Ashton.” Where did her normal voice go, and when did she start speaking in such an earthy tone. Hands clasped ladylike in her front of her, holding onto her pocketbook. Her breath came out in a swoosh when he turned to face her. A burning warmth filled the sexiest eyes, and not just any brown, but the color of milk chocolate, a shade lighter than her skin tone.
“Bekah, we finally meet,” He extended his hand to take hers. She accepted his hand and let out a startled sound of surprise, ill prepared for the jolt of awareness humming from such brief contact.
“Yes, we did…do.” She fell over her tongue, color rising in her cheeks. Boy, did she feel hot. He broke out in the sexiest smile—lordy above, a perfect smile—and her name all but purred from his mouth. He could call her Bekah anytime.
“Peachy keen.” She licked her lips and studied him from under her lashes.
“Would you like a cocktail?”
“Can we just go straight to shots?”
His teasing demeanor made him all the more attractive. His manners pleased her, as well, when he stood, showing her his height, and pulled out her barstool. She sat, and he returned to his position on the stool next to her, his gaze never leaving hers, until she had to break eye contact to gather her thoughts. He inspired instant hot, naked, orgasmic fantasies. A flicker of question crossed his features, pulling her back to the present. Fantasy in check she smiled. “Very.”
“Me too,” Ashton said, motioning for the bartender.
“Really? You have such confidence about you.” She found herself relaxing, and hoped her mic caught all their byplay. When he leaned over to whisper in her ear, her first reaction was to pull back, but his warm hand settled over hers, brushing in gentle sweeps. She gulped in anticipation.
“I half thought you would run the other way when you entered.” The bartender approached and wiped her hands on a towel. “Two shots of coconut rum.” Ashton kept his eyes on Bekah while he ordered, pinning her with his gaze.
“The thought did cross my mind.” She didn’t admit the gravitational pull demanded she park her ass right next to him. “Being paired with you astonished me. I wasn’t expecting the full package, you could say.” Bekah took the shot of rum and raised it to his. “To new people.”
They tossed their shots, and Bekah licked a drop that lingered on her lips. Her date’s nostrils flared as he watched. She inhaled in a shallow breath and fought to clear the fog hazing her self-control. Seduction at that moment wasn’t planned. Yet, as his face descended toward hers, she didn’t pull away but leaned forward to meet his lips. Awareness spiked to new levels as he kissed her with masterful control, easing her mouth apart to taste her. Under his spell, she drowned and placed her hands on his shoulders for an anchor. He tasted of whiskey. Just as she got used to his delicious invasion,he broke the kiss with an abrupt halt. Shaken, she witnessed him rein himself in. Had he lost control with just a kiss? Hell, she was stuck for words her damn self. Flushed with arousal, she brought her eyes level with his.

Salesforce.com (CRM) continues to cash in on the cloud.
The enterprise software firm late Thursday reported fourth-quarter results that beat analyst views as its growth from companies adopting cloud-based computing showed no signs of abating. It gave sales and profit guidance for the current quarter that was in line with views.
Shares of Salesforce.com ended the regular session at 169.22, up a fraction before rising more than 4% in after-hours trading.

Salesforce has become the leading provider of customer relationship management software that helps companies better manage their sales channels with customers. Its software operates in the cloud, a fast-growing system that allows companies to store and access their data over the Internet.
Salesforce also delivers its wares through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, where companies pay on a monthly basis rather than a large fee up front. The cloud/SaaS strategy appears to be working, says Richard Baldry, an analyst for Wunderlich Securities.
"Salesforce has a very cohesive strategy and it's still by far the revenue leader in the SaaS space by multiples higher than anyone else," he said. "They are the category killer."
For its fourth quarter, Salesforce.com reported a per-share profit, excluding items, of 51 cents, 11 cents better than what analysts had expected. A year ago, it reported a per-share profit of 43 cents.
Revenue rose 32% to $835 million. Analysts had expected $830.8 million, an increase of 31%.
For the current quarter, Salesforce.com expects a per-share profit, minus items, of 40 to 42 cents vs. 37 cents a year ago. Analysts were expecting 42 cents EPS.
Salesforce expects revenue of $882 million to $887 million, up 27% to 28% vs. the year-ago quarter. Analysts expected revenue of $885.9 million, a 27.3% increase from the same period last year.
During a conference call with analysts, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff described his company's fourth-quarter performance as nothing short of "awesome" and "epic."
During the quarter, Salesforce signed more than 150 new transactions of at least $1 million. Nine transactions were in the eight-figure range.
Salesforce is providing the avenue for companies looking to move into areas such as social networking and mobile in the cloud, Benioff said.
Salesforce ended the quarter with subscription and related support revenues of $785.4 million, up 32% from the $594.2 million in the year-ago period.
Revenue from professional services and related services reached $49.1 million, a 30.6% increase over the $37.6 million reported in the same quarter last year.

Pakistan FM discusses Palestine issue with Chinese counterpart amid Israeli aggression
ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi had a telephone conversation with the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi to discuss the Palestinian issue, peace process in Afghanistan, and Pakistan-China bilateral relations.
The Foreign Minister congratulated Chinese leadership and its people for successful landing of Chinese spacecraft at Mars and underlined that it was a historic milestone for China in the technological realm. The Foreign Minister underscored that the year 2021 had a special significance as it marked 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries and over the years, our bilateral relationship had become an All-weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
Foreign Minister underscored that Pakistan and China should continue to deepen their cooperation in fighting Covid-19. He thanked China for the support it had extended to Pakistan in containing the spread of the pandemic, including through provision of vaccines.
Foreign Minister Qureshi shared Pakistan’s profound concern over the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories which, he stressed, was becoming a major threat to peace and security of Middle East. He added that the violent attacks perpetrated by Israeli forces against the innocent worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and unarmed civilians and the children in the occupied territories, were against humanitarian norms as well as the international law.
The Foreign Minister underlined the importance of urgent steps by the international community to stop the Israeli attacks, protect the civilian population, facilitate engagement of the parties, and ensure just and lasting solution based on relevant UNSC resolutions and the two-state vision.
Foreign Minister also briefed Mr. Wang Yi about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s outreach to world leaders in addressing the current serious situation.
Foreign Minister Qureshi stressed that Pakistan supported an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan. The Foreign Minister highlighted Pakistan’s contribution to the Afghan peace process and its support for a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan. Underscoring the importance of a responsible withdrawal, reduction in violence, and earliest possible ceasefire, the Foreign Minister stressed the need for the Afghan parties to seize the opportunity to work together and secure a negotiated inclusive political solution. Foreign Minister maintained that China-Afghanistan-Pakistan Trilateral Foreign Minister’s Dialogue was playing an important role in promoting peace and stability.
The two Foreign Ministers agreed to deepen Pakistan-China strategic cooperation and coordination to deal with the emerging challenges and reaffirmed both countries’ commitment to intensify their collective efforts to promote peace, stability and imperatives of justice.

The on line purchased mirror was the exact Nissan part number (verified at the dealer) and it came in a Nissan labeled box. On line it was about 40% less than at the dealer even with shipping. My job was in every way exactly the job that the Nissan service technician would have done except he would have had a couple of special tools to remove panels a bit easier than I did. I still think the designer traded manufacturability for serviceability.
So, it seems that the author, who likely paid more to have an adjustable side view mirror in his vehicle, is being put out because the complicated fix was caused by the stationary (read cheap) version of the same mirror. Is that what this problem comes down to?
Increasingly, it appears that no seemingly small fix-it job is a simple task any more. Thanks for sharing your story and lucky that you have the diligence and patience to stick it out despite running into some bumps along the way. Definitely would have been a sizeable repair bill had you relied on the shop to do the mirror replacement.

International Fashion Designer, Jimmy Choo participated as a guest designer at the event, officiated by Thai Prime Minister, General Prayut Chan-o-cha, at the Royal Thai Navy Convention Center which was attended by over 3,000 guests.

Sri Lankan snacks and Ceylon Tea were enjoyed by all those who participated at the fashion show. Sri Lanka’s National carrier SriLankan Airlines was among the main sponsors of the event.
Initiated in 1976 by Queen Sirikit to promote and support the Thai Silk industry and to promote cross-cultural exchange between Thailand and participating countries through ‘silk diplomacy’, the project has now culminated into the largest fashion extravaganza in Thailand, with the participation of 71 countries this year, featuring unique designs and national costumes of each country made with Thai Silk.

India's Jet Air shelves unit's international plans
Jet Airways Ltd , India's top private carrier, has shelved plans for its discount unit JetLite to fly on international routes because of the tough market environment, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Soaring oil prices have prompted Indian carriers to raise fares and trim routes in a bid to cushion falling margins.
"In the current scenario, we cannot operate new routes, as they take time to develop and yield returns," Rajeev Gupta, chief executive of JetLite said.
"New routes take at least 90 days to develop, and we cannot afford that now when ATF prices are so high. So we've put our international plans on hold until prices come down. If they don't, we will consider other strategies."
Jet Airways last month said it would put its own international expansion on hold until the end of next year, when it is scheduled to take delivery of new aircraft.
JetLite, the erstwhile Air Sahara that Jet Airways acquired in 2007, had received rights to fly to Bangkok, Sharjah and other destinations in the Middle East starting in the summer of 2008.
"We will look for further synergies with Jet Airways in the domestic market to cut costs and reduce frequencies of some short-haul routes which are not viable," Gupta said, adding the carrier would axe 25 routes to cut aircraft utilisation.
"But how much we are able to improve will really depend on ATF prices, which show no signs of abating."
Fuel makes up about 45 percent of an airline's operating cost, and domestic aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices have risen by nearly half since January on the back of record crude oil prices.
Indian jet fuel prices are about three-quarters higher than international benchmarks, and may cause domestic carriers to double their losses in 2008/09 from 40 billion rupees ($924 million) a year ago, the civil aviation secretary has said.
Jet Airways last week posted a loss of 2.53 billion rupees for the year to March and said it expected the next few quarters to be very challenging.

During last year, Qualcomm’s share of the worldwide smartphone application processor market rose to 42 percent, helping the company remain firmly seated at the top in this market. At the same time, Samsung sold close to 50 million Exynos chips, reaching fourth place in market share and prompted some analysts to warn that Samsung was becoming a strong competitor for Qualcomm. However, at least for the time being, there seems to be no reason for Qualcomm to worry.
Snapdragon 820 Still Dominating
Recently it was announced by Samsung that their forthcoming mobile devices, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset, at least for units produced for the U.S. The use of Qualcomm’s chipset instead of its own shows the clear lack of confidence that Samsung has when it comes to its Exynos line of chipsets, at least for now.
In addition to the two Samsung devices, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset will also be incorporated into the smartphones of numerous producers, among them LG, HTC, Sony, Xiaomi, and maybe most importantly HP. HP’s newest smartphone based on Windows 10, Elite x3, will be powered by the Snapdragon 820.
Fixing Previous Mistakes
The top spot in the market share came to Qualcomm thanks to its investment in research in the field from the very start. The company’s previous chipset, the Snapdragon 810, had issues with overheating and power, and has as a result, caused Qualcomm to lose some market share after Samsung’s introduction of its Exynos chipset, which replaced the problematic Snapdragon 810 in Galaxy smartphones.
Qualcomm took notice and has worked on fixing the issues of power and overheating in its Snapdragon 820 chipset by replacing the ARM Cortex CPU cores with highly optimized and custom-built Kryo cores. In addition, Qualcomm’s previous chipset, the Snapdragon 810, was an octa-core processor. Considering that those processors do not always deliver better performance than a quad-core chip, but on the contrary can increase complications, Qualcomm has remedied the issue by lowering the core-count in Snapdragon 820 from eight to four.

Yes, it’s silly. Yes, it’s outrageous. And yes, it’s super touristy – but the Robot Restaurant is an absolute blast for anyone who appreciates unusual nightlife experiences.
Founded in 2012 as part of Japan’s efforts to recover from the big earthquake, this robot-themed cabaret “restaurant” (we didn’t actually see anyone eating there) attracts hordes of tourists, and even some locals, looking for a fun night out. Hour-long shows run four times each night and begin with a spectacular journey through hallways and a bar area adorned with thousands of colorful bulbs. Even the bathrooms are out of this world!
It is, in a word, a trip. Here are five reasons Robot Restaurant is worth a visit even if you tend to turn up your nose at novelty attractions.
There’s actual talent on the stage. Women shredding on the electrical guitar, men pounding on human-sized drums, singers belting lyrics in Japanese and dancers captivating the audience, just inches from your seat: The musicians and actors at Robot Restaurant have an eccentricity and energy unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed. It’s all impeccably coordinated, too.
It’s a fun way to meet other tourists. We met friends in line, in the bar and at our seats, which made for a fun night out after the show. Most of the people we met were American, but we also heard British accents and various European languages. Everyone was there to have a good time and shared in their disbelief, so it was a great setting in which to meet foreigners who were just as excited to be visiting Tokyo as we were.
The colors and lights are spectacular. In so many ways, Robot Restaurant is a light show. More than 12,000 bulbs in various colors reflect off mirrored, multi-dimensional walls in the entrance, hallways, bar and bathroom. Inside the dark theater, robots, costumes and moving vehicles are lined with LED lights, and laser beams go to battle. Near the finale, the audience is handed light sticks and got to become part of the show.
It’s totally unique to Japan. One walk through Tokyo’s lit-up neighborhoods like Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku, and it’s easy to see why only the country’s capital can pull off a show like this. The creativity, attention to detail and commitment of the Japanese people to entertain is unmatched. The place isn’t cheap to run, either. Rumor has it that the restaurant costs about $10 million to operate.
You have to see it to believe it. We knew Robot Restaurant would be a fun time, but we had no idea we’d leave with our faces hurting from smiling too much. With each new scene, we were amused and awed. It was an experience we’ll never forget.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Since the ease of participation and the usefulness of information provided by online groups continue to proliferate in the World Wide Web, people increasingly participate in different forms of virtual community (i.e. online forums, bulletin boards, message boards, chat rooms) for their purposes, such as solving problems, building social relationships, sharing passions, developing professionals.
Accordingly, an increasing number of companies are now attempting to exploit this phenomenon by hosting and supporting their own online community for commercial and non-commercial purposes, such as building relationships with their customers, getting their feedback, strengthening the brand, and reducing customer service costs by enabling customer-to-customer problem solving (e.g. Wiertz and Ruyter, 2007). Typical examples of these firm-hosted online communities are Dell Community, Lego® Message Boards, Manhattan GMAT Forums, Ford Forums, iPod (Apple) Discussions, etc.
The purpose of this study is to examine factors such as consumers' feelings (sense of community, trust) and the host firm's supports that motivate consumers to exhibit their voluntary contributions and continue their membership in a firm-hosted online community.
This dissertation conceptualizes a relational social model in which sense of virtual community and virtual community loyalty are hypothesized to influence customer trust in the host firm and customer citizenship performance (loyalty intention to the host firm, voluntary participation, voluntary cooperation), respectively. Three components of the firm's support to the virtual community—support for member communication, content enhancement and recognition for contribution—are theorized to moderate the relationships between sense of virtual community and trust, and between virtual community loyalty and customer citizenship performance.
The overall finding that emerges from the dissertation is that customer citizenship performance is impacted by a customer's sense of virtual community, loyalty to the community, and customer trust in the host firm. Of the three firm support variables, only support for member communication moderates the relationship between virtual community loyalty and voluntary participation.
The dissertation makes four theoretical and managerial contributions. First, the paper presents an interdisciplinary review of extant literature on firm-hosted virtual communities and builds on it to develop a conceptualization of relationships between customer-customer social outcomes and customer-business relational outcomes. Second, while previous research has predominantly focused on firm support as an antecedent of trust in customer-business dyadic relationships (Porter, 2004), this research investigates the role of firm support as a moderator of social relational relationships. Third, the study extends the notion of relationship marketing to include customer-customer relationships which has been forgotten in the marketing literature (Clark & Martin, 1994). The implication is that the host firm can use customers themselves to build long-term customer relationships, and based on it to maintain and increase the firm's market share. Finally, from a managerial perspective, this study proposes a general framework that can enable companies to better understand some of the key aspects that define and drive loyalty in online communities. Since sense of community is unique to a specific community, this dissertation also illustrates that a virtual community is an inimitable asset which can be used as a strategic tool to build competitive advantage by a firm in an online environment.

Here’s a Christmas treat for you – Me and Mary from Talk In Colour playing a rather lovely version of Wham’s Last Christmas, recorded live at the wonderful Waterline in Dalston.
This was part of our Acoustic Christmas Wonderland, featuring the frankly amazing Sam Sallon and the equally awesome Al Lewis. It was just perfect – mulled wine, mince pies and gorgeous music. we’re starting a bimonthly acoustic residency at the Waterline from 27th February – be there.
Last Saturday I was back at the Union Chapel for the second time in little over a month (after the recent Sunday Driver gig) for Daylight Music. This time I was playing with Talk In Colour, taking our electronic soundscapes and dirty basslines out to play in the Chapel’s glorious acoustics.
Things didn’t start off well, with a couple of unexpected hitches meaning that our soundcheck ran late, holding everyone up and making the whole gig run behind schedule. We can only apologise profusely to everyone and promise not to do it again.
Anyway, proceedings kicked off with Rome Pays Off – a trio with the rather unusual lineup of two bassists and one guitar. Probably best described as “drone-core”, their lush soundscapes echoed round the church and sent a shiver up my spine.
Next up were the fantastic Wilderthorn, whose set of not-folky-at-all-despite-what-you-might-expect acoustic songs was a great treat. I even forked out a fiver for their new EP, which is always the sign of a good gig.
And then in was Talk In Colour’s turn. There’s loads of amazing photos from Diana Jarvis over on the Daylight Music Facebook page – here are a couple of my faves (yeah, they’re of me. It’s my damn blog…):
This is my counting face!
We were also very brave and played two new tracks – Intra, a short introduction from our upcoming album, and our first ever cover, Petit Pays by Cesaria Evora. Ricky took a video of us playing it, and I reckon we did it justice…
Finally, three cheers from my fabulous new frock from Lady Vintage – how awesome is this? And only 50 quid!
On Thursday Talk In Colour played an absolute blinder of a gig, which I’m still buzzing from, in the hallowed hall of Ronnie’s Bar upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s historic jazz club.
When we found out about the gig, thanks to Bence and Andrew at Bolygo Music, I thought our drummer Dave was going to have some kind of jazzgasm.
Mary despairs at the soundcheck:
While Dave’s just happy to be there:
Support came first from the incredible Corina Piatti – a fantastic Argentinian singer/guitarist:
Next was multi-talented percussionist Renu and her band of impressive instrumentalists and singers. She’s a wonderful musician who I’ve previously collaborated with, and I can’t wait to here her new album, which I played on. Huge thanks are due to her guitarist Jo for the loan of her amp, which got us out of a big logistical hole:
We finally got on stage, and played our socks off – mainly thanks to the awesome sound engineer who managed to contrive things so we could actually all hear each other on stage for once. I had such a good time, and the crowd was brilliant. Massive thanks to everyone who came down and everyone involved – such a great night 🙂
Our next gig is at the Union Chapel in Islington for Daylight Music at 12pm on Saturday 31st March. Can’t wait!
I can’t believe how fast this month is running away with me. It doesn’t seem a minute since Talk In Colour played at the Jazz Cafe for WahWah45s amazing Simon Says night – raising money in memory of label founder Simon Goss for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation – but it was back at the beginning of March. If anyone knows where the past 3 months went, please let me know.
It was such a great night packed with loads of fantastic bands and lovely people. Here’s the running order – it was absolutely rammed!
We had what was probably the most stressful soundcheck I’ve ever had. Thanks to Camden Council’s lovely roadworks I couldn’t unload outside the venue, then I couldn’t find anywhere remotely close to park and had to push the harp for what felt like miles, Chris was running late and got a flat tyre as he was parking, and Mary and Nick couldn’t make it due to work commitments.
Still, we played well (despite understandably dubious sound at first) and people seemed to like it:
The lovely Gideon Conn, one of the other acts, drew a sweet little picture of us playing which he auctioned in aid of the cause:
All in all, a great night that raised thousands of pounds for a fantastic cause. Well done to Dom and all the WahWah team, and thanks for having us down 🙂
Sunday Driver rounded off our half-term mini-tour with a couple of great but rather downbeat gigs. On Friday night we supported solo guitarist Clive Carroll at Cambridge Folk Club, which now takes place in a small room above the Golden Hind pub in Cambridge.
Even replacing Scott’s drumkit with djembe and cajon, we were pretty loud but the audience seemed to like it. Unfortunately I only managed to catch a few minutes of Clive’s set as I had to dash back to London to tend to a puking husband.
Then on Saturday we were up and at it again, playing a lunchtime gig for the Arctic Circle’s Daylight Music series at the Union Chapel in Islington. It’s such a fantastic venue to play, and it didn’t disappoint.
We were preceded by the fantastic Anja McCloskey and her band (and her 50lb accordion):
And melodic piano/cello duo My Glass World:
No pics of our gig as I forgot to give anyone the camera, but we had a great time. In retrospect, we probably should have played more upbeat songs – we were a bit worried about coming across as too boisterous in the relatively sedate atmosphere but I wish we’d rocked out a bit more!
Anyway, it was a great way to round off a successful week of gigs. There’ll be some very exciting Sunday Driver news coming up this week so watch this space!
Next stop for the Sunday Driver juggernaut was the High Barn in Great Bardfield, a venue in a tiny Essex village that has somehow managed to carve out a name as a great place for acoustic music (and also Four Poofs and a Piano, who were on the week before). We were treated to a beautiful sunset and an amazing starry night:
We were supported by a couple of lovely singer-songwriters, who not only played great sets but were super-friendly backstage – firstly Ellie Jamison:
And then Jon Hart:
Scott and Amit go through their strenuous pre-gig warmup routine:
We played. It was fun:
And then I went off to stay in the luxurious-sounding “Stansted Skyline Hotel”, which turned out to be little more than a few rooms off a restaurant on the road out of Great Dunmow, reeking of cigarette smoke and suffering from very poorly-fitted curtains. The harp was not impressed. I reminded her sternly that if she wants to stay in better hotels, we need to get some better-paying gigs…
The bathroom facilities also left much to be desired. Here’s the shower – can you spot what’s missing?
Ah, the glamorous life of a musician… Next stop, Cambridge Folk Club.
After our photoshoot, Sunday Driver headed off for another gig at Norwich Arts Centre, following our successful show there last year supporting Raghu Dixit. This time we were on a bill with the Ruth Gordon Trio and the Mary Hampton Cotillion.
First up were Ruth Gordon and the rest of her Trio, composed of banjo, cello and guitar. They played a lovely gentle set, and I liked her use of bells and shells on her ankles as percussion.
We were on next. No photos of that, as I forgot to ask anyone to take them. We were a bit loud compared to the other acts, but went down well I think.
Finally Mary Hampton and her Cotillion (apparently a type of dance figure) took to the stage. Their set was amazing – probably the best gig I’ve seen for ages. Elegant, creepy, dissonant, beautiful and utterly enchanting. I bought both her albums after the gig, and I hardly *ever* do that (cos I’m really stingy). Go and see them if you get the chance, they are fantastic.
Sorry for the blurry picture, – I was right at the back – but I was really taken by this song, Honey in the Rock, where the percussion was provided by two of the musicians playing pat-a-cake. It may sound a bit twee but it really wasn’t.
A wonderful night, topped off by staying over in Norwich with my fab friends Ruth and Russ. You know who your real friends are – they’re the ones who leave a hot water bottle in your bed on a chilly night…

Economie impacts of adoption of best management practices by crawfish producers: The role of the environmental quality incentives program
This study investigates reasons for adoption of best management practices (BMP), crawfish farmers' participation in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and economic impacts of BMP adoption using data from a 2008 survey of crawfish producers. Most-cited reasons for BMP adoption are farmers' perceptions of increases in profit and long-run productivity. Land tenancy, education, double-cropping or crop rotation, and proximity to a stream influence EQIP participation. Perceptions of economic profits depend on the practices used. Participation in EQIP negatively impacts farmers' perceptions of profitability from adopting BMPs. The results underscore the importance of economic incentives in promoting BMP adoption.
