Twitter now suggests users to follow in your home timeline on iOS and Android
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]

Twitter is tweaking what you’ll see on the home timeline when using its mobile app. Besides Tweets from those you follow, ads, and Tweets you may have missed, the company is adding interesting accounts to the mix. This feature will be shown on Twitter’s iOS and Android app starting today.

Displaying interesting users on Twitter’s mobile apps isn’t new — such recommendations are already showing up on profile pages. However, now they’re going to be prominently shown on what is probably the highest trafficked area: the home timeline.

We're adding who to follow to iPhone & Android home timelines to show interesting accounts: [https:]] pic.twitter.com/PLHDJsMbBH

— Twitter (@twitter) September 4, 2015

Just who are these Twitter-suggested users? The feature may draw comparisons to Twitter’s Suggested User List of yesteryear, but the company has provided new insight into how these recommendations are selected. Specifically, it’ll draw on your email and phone contacts, “as well as patterns from your following history.” Likewise, if someone who has your contact information adds it to Twitter, they may show up as an interesting account.
From VentureBeat VB just released Mobile User Acquisition: How top publishers get the best users for less money. $499 on VB Insight, or free with your martech subscription.
According to a support article in Twitter’s Help Center, suggestions may also include users based on your location or could include Promoted Accounts. If your Tweets are protected, Twitter will not use them in its algorithm for recommendations.

Naturally, this update offers benefits, in that it can help users discover new people to follow and continue to keep them engaged with one another. Over the years, Twitter has made adjustments to its apps in order to aid discovery, including the rollout of a Discover tab (which was killed off in April).

Users may have already noticed changes to their home timelines, including the appearance of Tweets from people they haven’t been following but their friends have engaged with. With this new feature, you’ll have an even better chance of discovering more people who are just as interesting as yourself.

”Gruppordförande ska skapa förtroende”
» ‎ Åbo Underrättelser

Tags: [edit]

SFP har 20 av 43 platser i Pargas fullmäktige. Här är det Andreas Johansson och Tarja Rinne som sitter närmast kameran. ÅU foto

Hurudan ska en gruppordförande vara?

Kan du själv tänka dig uppdraget, eller vem borde det vara?

Christer Friis:
– Gruppordförandeskapet kräver tålamod och en förmåga att få ihop olika åsikter. Man ska veta var man har sin grupp, ha en slags helhetssyn, som man också kan förmedla utåt. Man ska kunna se vilka frågor som är på väg att utvecklas vart.
– Nej, jag steg åt sidan och har gjort mitt. Eftersom jag är den som skapade den situation vi är i, vill jag inte heller komma med åsikter om vem det kunde bli.

Tarja Rinne:
– Gruppordförande ska ha insyn i och erfarenhet av politiken, veta hur man leder en grupp på 20 individer. Gärna en ledare som ser möjligheterna och styrkan av att vi är en stor grupp, utan att skapa någon slags ”slå näven i bordet-mentalitet” av det att vi är den största gruppen. Ordförande ska kunna lyssna och ta folk. Det sätt som Andreas Johansson jobbade på som gruppordförande var väldigt bra.
– Nej, jag är gruppens sekreterare, sitter i stadsstyrelsen med mera.

Andreas Johansson:
– Det krävs kommunikation och kommunikation och kommunikation. Personen ska kunna samla den rätt splittrade gruppen, kunna lyssna, förklara och motivera. Samarbetet ska skötas internt, externt med andra politiska grupper, med tjänstemän, med media.
– Nej. Jag har varit det och tänker inte bli det igen. Jag är ordförande för miljönämnden, jag har familj och företag plus andra förtroendeuppdrag som också tar tid.

Merja Fredriksson:
– Ordförande måste ha förmåga och tid att tala med och lyssna på många, både inom gruppen och med andra grupper, att opartiskt se på hela stadens väl är viktigt, liksom att ha bra kontakt med tjänstemännen.
– Nej. Jag har som viceordförande tillfälligt varit gruppordförande sedan maj, men jag vill inte bli det permanent. Jag är bland annat ordförande för social- och hälsovårdsnämnden, en tung och viktig nämnd.

Kurt Lundqvist:
– Samarbetsförmåga och ledarskap är viktigt. Det finns många olika åsikter i en så stor grupp som vår och att sätta sig in i och ta de olika argumenten i beaktande kräver tid. Tiden är en nyckelfråga, har man tid klarar man bättre av det andra också, samarbetet med andra partier och tjänstemän.
– Jag vill inte ta ställning varken om mig själv eller någon annan då arbetsutskottet jobbar med frågan som bäst,.

SFP i Pargas ännu utan ny ledare
» ‎ Åbo Underrättelser

Tags: [edit]

Vem ska föra talan för den 20 personer stora SFP-gruppen i Pargas? Partiets lokala arbetsutskott jobbar med frågan som bäst.

Namnet är inte klart ännu. Troligen pågår nu projekt övertalning, och om ett par veckor står det klart vem som axlar ansvar som gruppordförande för SFP i Pargas.
Att ingen ännu har sagt ja efter att Christer Friis avsade sig uppdraget i medlet av maj kan också bero på att partiet funderar på hur och om ordförandeuppdraget måste delas upp på något sätt.

I nuläget ska gruppordförande vara spindeln i nätet i många riktningar:
Personen ska föra gruppens talan i fullmäktige, träffa andra partiers gruppordförande, leda den egna gruppens interna arbete, samarbeta med tjänstemännen, vara partiets ansikte utåt i förhållande till väljarna, ofta via media.

Något namn finns klart den 28 september, det är i varje fall säkert. Den 29 möts fullmäktige till höstens första möte.
Av 43 fullmäktigeplatser har SFP-gruppen 20. Det betyder många poster med ett brett ansvar och det utesluter åtminstone fullmäktigeordförande Andreas von Bergmann och styrelseordförande Mikael Holmberg från gruppordförandeposten.
Kommunorganisationens ordförande Conny Granqvist kan inte heller komma på fråga eftersom han inte är invald i fullmäktige, han är andra ersättare.
Andreas Johansson var gruppordförande innan Friis, men ett tag efter en familjetillökning ville Johansson avgå. Friis period blev endast ett år och han ville avgå på grund av partiets oenighet kring hälsofrågorna i Houtskär.

Nu är valperioden väl halvvägs och i takt med att man ska börja bädda för att få folk att ställa upp i nästa kommunalval måste ytterligare en ledarprofil växa fram.

Are Mom Jeans on Their Way Out? If This Balmain Vet Has His Way
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]

It’s hard not to see the mom jean—the jolie laide jean, if you will—as a backlash to the long and mighty reign of the low-rise super skinny. But when will the painted-on, rock ’n’ roll pant make its return? If Thomas Monet has his druthers, it’s already on the way back in. Monet cut his teeth as a key player behind the scenes at Balmain during the Christophe Decarnin era (and a brief stint under Olivier Rousteing), where he worked on the washes that made items like the painted-on moto jean one of the It pieces of the era. Fans of the house at that time will no doubt recall those pale denim military getups and buttery leather trousers, slung dangerously low on the hip bones of Decarnin’s glam-rock Valkyries.

For more than a year now, Monet has been ensconced at Faith Connexion, where he and much of Decarnin’s Balmain team make up a creative tribe working in the same maximalist vocabulary that the designer honed at the famous house. Still focusing on washes and still, as word of mouth tells it, working closely with Christophe himself, Monet serves as a steward of the moto pant’s past. Even as the pendulum has swung in a more understated direction (call it the Fashion Nun effect), his love of maximalist, thrashed, rock ’n’ roll denim has never waned. Monet is an avowed fan of the fabric’s workwear origins—“not too clean!”—and seems disappointed by the current popularity of unsullied indigo. Still, he points to Hedi Slimane’s revival of more hedonistic styles as evidence that a sea change may soon come. At Faith Connexion, Monet and co. are hard at work, focusing their efforts on lived-in-feeling pieces.

Monet tells Vogue.com: “We love the denim that we’ve worn for ten years. This is the denim spirit.” Over the course of our conversation, Monet name-checks Slash but seems more interested in ideas of the counterculture than specific figures—the Summer of Love, the birth of punk. The resulting styles are time-consuming, customized denim with a certain couture spirit. (“Italian fabrics are good, but Japanese are better,” he says.) Pieces are stonewashed and painstakingly hand-distressed by artisans using sandpaper and the like. Other one-of-a-kind pairs are customized by graffiti stars of the extended FC coterie. The results are the kind of creations that fairly beg for space in the wardrobes of eclectic stars like Rihanna. Despite the label’s Parisian soul, you’d be hard-pressed to imagine them on quintessentially gamine types—say, Audrey Tautou. Monet is frank when it comes to his feelings on the way French girls, so typically infallible, do denim: “I can’t defend the French look for denim. For me, we don’t have the denim spirit.” The designer is less candid when it comes to the city’s best spots for sourcing deliciously thrashed vintage pairs: “C’est un secret!”

The Most Romantic Labor Day Escape Is Closer Than You Think
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]
Sure, it’s Labor Day weekend—the last stretch of summer before the AC-blasted return to the sterile cubicle. You’re probably feeling tempted to skip town with the beau and enjoy a hair-tossing adventure in the Hamptons or a last-minute frolic on the Burning Man playa. Hell, you may even book a long weekend to Ibiza and call it a year. But the idea of those FOMO-fueled, Instagram-inspired jaunts can be exhausting. What’s so attractive about capping the hot weather season off with jet lag and a suitcase full of dirty laundry? Consider this: Maybe your escape is much closer than you think. Maybe it doesn’t require a suitcase, a time change, traffic, or the TSA pat-down. Maybe it’s a museum! The romantic nature of the exhibit-trawling outing is not to be underestimated—there’s an intimacy to wandering huge, beautiful spaces together, your voices hushed in respectful tones. You’re exploring, you’re learning something new, and also, it may be worth noting, you’re in the AC.

Need some inspiration? At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the record-breaking “China: Through the Looking Glass” exhibition is extended until September 7, along with late-night hours tonight and tomorrow. A wealth of fashion (ranging from the traditional Manchu robe to contemporary Chinese-inspired designs by Tom Ford and John Galliano) combines with a deep visual history, including Ming furniture and ancient perfume bottles for something that exists nowhere else. So why not take advantage before it ends?

As for the night at the museum attire? Half the fun’s in dressing up. Take inspiration from the guests of this year’s Met Gala and elevate your wing-hopping look. Maybe it is something à la Beyonce with a polka-dot, curve-skimming frock. Or maybe take some editorial cues from a Mario Testino–lensed Joan Smalls and opt for a white pantsuit. And when in doubt? Keep it classic with a polished jacket and skirt set—plus a pop of color derived from an accessory. After all, plane tickets come and go—but this exhibition is once in a lifetime. Dress accordingly.

Kalk och fosfor
» ‎ Åbo Underrättelser

Tags: [edit]

Anders Hollmerus ställde en fråga gällande kalken och fosfor i ÅU (28.8.2015).

För att klargöra begreppen så vill vi framföra följande: I en jord som är kalkad med kalkstensmjöl kan växterna bättre tillgodogöra sig fosforn. Växternas fosforupptagning ökar nästan lineärt med pH-värdets ökning.

Samtidigt blir växternas rotsystem större och starkare. Detta gör att växterna kan ta till sig jordens egna näringsreserver i så hög grad att de kan tillgodogöra sig även mer fosfor än vad som tillsätts i jorden i form av gödsel i början av växtperioden. Den årliga mängden gödselfosfor kan minskas samtidigt som skördarna blir större. Då minskar mängden outnyttjad fosfor i åkern som belastar miljön.

Strukturkalken är en helt annan produkt. Den innehåller bränd eller släckt kalk som stabiliserar lerjordens grynstruktur, skapar en mer hållfast jord och förstorar lerpartiklarna. Detta för sin del minskar fosforavrinningen från åkrarna – forskningen visar att avrinningen minskar upp till 50 procent.

Med hjälp av strukturkalken kan jordens pH lätt höjas till över 7. Om åkerns fosforvärde har en bördighetsklass som är hög eller betänkligt hög, kan överlopps fosfor utfällas till kalciumfosfat på lerpartiklarna. Där lagras den i svårlöslig form tills pH-värdet återställs.

CST-100 var antagligen inte tillräckligt sexigt för rymdturism

Idag invigde NASA den anläggning där man kommer att bygga Boeings kommande rymdfarkost avsedd för kommersiella rymdtransporter som till exempel rymdturism och i samband med det så avslöjade man att farkosten, som hittills gått under namne CST-100, kommer att få namnet Starliner.

Anläggningen ligger i en av hangarerna där man tidigare arbetat med det numera nedlagda rymdskyttelprogrammet och kommer att kallas för "The Boeing Company’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility". Man tror att de första testerna med Starliner kan påbörjas nästa år och man hoppas att kunna flyga den bemannad sent 2017 men på grund av diverse neddragningar i budgeten kan detta komma att skjutas upp till 2018.

Nedan hittas ett rätt så intetsägande klipp på Starliner som Boeing släppte i samband med presentationen idag.

Meet the companies that are trying to profit from global warming
» ‎ Vox - All

Tags: [edit]

Global warming won't necessarily be bad news for everyone. For some companies and countries, it might even prove quite lucrative.

That's one big takeaway from journalist McKenzie Funk's fascinating and provocative 2014 book, Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming. A number of companies, investors, and governments are starting to realize that a certain amount of climate change is inevitable in the decades ahead. And while that may cause problems for many people, it also opens up opportunities to make money. Lots of money.

Funk traveled across the globe and found a colorful array of examples:

1) Greenland is taking advantage of the thawing Arctic, which has opened up new mining opportunities, to push for independence from Denmark. The government is already anticipating millions of dollars in new tax revenue as oil and gas rush north. Alcoa even has plans for a massive aluminum smelter there, powered by Greenland's rivers of melting ice.

2) Dutch engineers are selling their vaunted flood-management expertise to countries threatened by sea level rise. One company, Dutch Docklands, is pitching floating-city concepts to areas that could one day find themselves underwater.

3) Various investors, from Wall Street banks to wealthy Gulf sheiks, are buying up farmland worldwide in anticipation of future droughts and crop failures. There's also water trader John Dickerson, whose hedge fund hopes to strike it rich as Australia and the American Southwest dry out and water becomes scarce.

4) The Israeli firm IDE is using its desalination technology to build snowmakers for ski resorts in the Alps that are endangered by warmer winters. IDE's desalination projects are also in high demand worldwide; Funk calls the firm an "integrated global-warming response company."

5) Insurance firms like AIG are now offering personalized firefighting services to homeowners in California worried about the risk of increased wildfires as the summers get hotter and drier. (As Funk found, these private services tend to be selective about which houses they protect.)

In some cases, these developments are a good thing. Markets are responding to changing conditions and coming up with solutions to any problems that arise. But Funk also details the darker side of what's often dubbed "climate adaptation." Countries that can better cope with the effects of global warming are walling themselves off from those that can't. If there are benefits to climate change, they aren't always shared equally.

"Adaptation isn't necessarily going to be a let's-all-work-together thing," Funk told me. "The idea that we're all going to come together to deal with this is a huge assumption that isn't much tested." We spoke by phone about his book — and how some people are positioning themselves to take advantage of climate change, if they can:

Brad Plumer: Where did you first notice that some people could actually stand to benefit from global warming?

McKenzie Funk: The most interesting case to me was Greenland. It's become a familiar idea that Greenland is going to get rich from global warming and they should push for independence from Denmark. So I went there in 2009, when they were having their referendum on self-governance.

And the most common reaction there was not, "We need to cut emissions," or, "All this ice melting is a big problem for sea-level rise elsewhere." The reaction was, "We're going to get something out of this. We'll have more accessible minerals and oil and gas and improved fisheries [as the oceans warm, fish are expected to migrate northward]." So their response was to get the money. And of course they would. So that really struck me — why wouldn't other people do that as well?

BP: We're seeing that more and more in the Arctic — as the ice melts, it's a huge opportunity for oil companies like Shell or Rosneft or Statoil to access oil and gas that was previously inaccessible. There are shipping lanes opening up.

MF: Yeah, Canada and Russia are great examples here. The current Canadian government under Stephen Harper tends to pooh-pooh climate science and downplay the problem. But the one place they don't do that is when talking about how the Arctic is changing and how Canada needs to be more robust and stand up to the United States in this region.

BP: There are also some companies that are well-positioned to help countries adapt. You describe one Israeli company that's rejiggered its desalination technology to make artificial snow for ski resorts in the Alps that are in danger of disappearing.

MF: Yeah, the best example of this was this Israeli company IDE. Not because they yet have a lock in global snowmaking, but because they're also involved in desalination. It's like an integrated global warming response company.

So just to get a sense of where they're working, they were involved in the big Ashkelon desalination plant in Israel, as well as the bigger Hadera plant. But IDE's now working in Australia, and they're trying to get the Carlsbad desalination plant built in California, near San Diego. Essentially you have a country that's already dry, is getting even drier — but it's also making money off the technology that they've come up with to deal with it.

BP: You'd think dry countries like Israel or countries that sit below sea level like the Netherlands would get hardest hit by climate change. But in some ways, it's a huge opportunity for rich countries in these situations, because they've been facing these problems for so long and have developed the technology to deal with it — and now other countries need their expertise.

MF: That's totally right. If you look at the big desalination companies, they all come from dry places. There's Israel, but also Singapore, which has long had water issues.

And then the Netherlands, if you go to conferences there, if you talk to Dutch engineers, they'll say, "We need to stop talking about climate change as a crisis and start thinking about it more as an opportunity." Dealing with water is in their DNA. Even before sea level rise, the country's land has been sinking forever, and they've been working to reclaim it.

So the addition of sea level rise is definitely a big deal to the Dutch, and they're worried about it, but they also know what to do. The government has a whole structure set up to deal with. And so nowadays Dutch engineers are traveling all over the world selling people on seawalls and storm surge barriers and whatnot.

They had a proposal for New York City, they've worked in New Orleans, in the San Francisco Bay. When I went to Bangladesh, people showed me projects that the Dutch had built before — which, by the way, didn't work very well for Bangladesh. So they see this as a huge opportunity. And then there's all the floating architecture they've been pushing. Various Dutch firms have ideas for not just floating houses but also floating cities. There are even plans for floating cities in the Maldives — the poster child of sea level rise.

BP: Does anyone keep track of all the different companies that could stand to benefit from global warming? You mentioned in the book that Deutsche Bank had a fund that invested in some of these firms — a way to bet on climate change.

MF: There's not yet a climate adaptation index — that is, there's not something you can buy where the idea is that if the world gets warmer, we're all screwed, but these companies will all do better. There are, however, various funds that have invested in climate change, and adaptation is part of that. Deutsche Bank was one of them, although that fund actually closed down, because it didn't perform very well.

I think the truth is it's been hard for big institutional banks to make money off climate change at a timescale that investors care about. Investors might want their money back after a year, say, but climate change happens over many years or decades. So one of the big problems is trying to get investors to have a long enough view to profiteer off this. It's actually kind of a tricky thing.

The schemes I saw that were most directly focused on climate change often involved hedge funds, who can keep investors money for longer and take bigger bets. Or they involved crazy people.

BP: You did write about one subset of this, though — water markets. Explain how these could become a bigger deal over time if climate change does make water more scarce.

MF: The basic idea is that a lot of these hedge fund managers who are dealing with water stocks argue that we eventually need to price water for what it actually costs. Because a lot of the waste of water comes from people who say, "Hey, water's cheap, let's spray it all over our lawns and so on."

And once that happens, water markets will become more common. There are already versions of this in the American West or in Australia or in Chile or in parts of China and Spain. The idea is that water rights are essentially divorced from property rights. You take a certain amount of water and treat it like a stock — where it can be traded and go to the highest bidder. And if you can exchange water rights like a piece of paper, you'll be able to get it to where it needs to go most, at least according to the market.

So that's the argument they're making — that these water markets will necessarily grow, particularly if climate change makes water more valuable.

BP: You spent a lot of time in Australia, which already has some of the most liberalized water markets in the world. How are those working out?

MF: Yeah, I visited these water brokerages that would essentially trade water up and down the Murray-Darling River. And I came in pretty skeptical that water could be treated like any other commodity, to be honest. But it's not really black and white.

You saw a couple things happen. There were, for instance, farmers who were going broke because they weren't getting enough water to farm during a drought — they were able to sell off their water and get out of farming. So that worked out well for them. You also saw water go to those who could afford it and use it most valuably, although that was usually bigger, more corporate farms.

The other thing you saw was the Australian government enter these markets, buying water from farmers so that they can have enough water to keep the Murray-Darling River actually flowing to the sea — or at least come close. They bought these environmental flows and they were able to keep the Murray-Darling River alive during that last drought in 2010. So a lot of people make the argument that these water markets are actually more effective for conservation.

But you also had a lot of people who argued that turning water into a commodity wasn't in the long-term good of the country. That it's not like other commodities. And there were a few little-noticed aspects of Australia I saw. The level of suicides by small farmers was notably high during the time I was there. And driving around there, you see more for-sale signs than you saw in America at the height of the financial crisis.

BP: Now there's also this global race to buy up farmland around the world that you document in the book. That seems connected to water.

MF: Yeah, you see big investment banks, big hedge funds — everyone is in on the land rush. Big American banks like Goldman Sachs, Gulf state governments, Chinese state-owned corporations. They're buying up land in Brazil, Cambodia, Laos, eastern Russia, Ukraine, in addition to the places in Africa that everyone talks about.

And it's absolutely connected to water. The thing about water is that you can't move it around in ships very easily. The idea that you're going to put freshwater from Alaska into a tanker and take it to India or California — the numbers just don't work. But you can ship food. So essentially buying up farmland abroad is a way for companies and countries to trade virtual water by moving food around the globe.

In fact, one of the first papers written about climate investing was by a guy named Eric Sprott, a hedge fund manager and big on the Toronto scene. He wrote a paper in 2005 or 2006 about the impact of climate change on investing and noted that everyone always singled out water as the big thing. But it's really hard to invest in water — most utilities are heavily regulated, so it's hard to jack up the prices and make enormous returns.

So instead what they've done is buy up and create a large farm in Canada. The idea is that as the climate gets worse, the farming's going to move up to Canada. So they're positioning themselves. Some places are going to become worse for growing food, and others may get better.

BP: On that topic, though, one thing that struck me in the book is that it's not always easy for people to just get up and move to the places that become more hospitable as the planet warms.

MF: Yeah, there is this idea that we'll have these islands of refuge from climate change — but the flip side is that those outside the refuge will be fucked.

So a good example of this is the giant border fence around Bangladesh that India's now building — it's the longest border fence in the world. The fence wasn't originally built because of climate change. It was built because there was already a lot of migration from Bangladesh into India. But if you talk to people in the defense establishment in Delhi or local activists, they're saying climate change is going to drive up sea levels in Bangladesh and create all these refugees, and we've got to deal with them.

And it's the same story in lots of places. There are papers talking about how migration from Latin America to the United States could increase because of climate change. There are all these reports from the EU, various think tanks, governments, saying that Europe should expect a lot more migration from sub-Saharan Africa — and there's a corresponding push to seal off the borders.

I doubt that any country will be able to wall itself off entirely from the effects of climate change, but I think some will clearly do better than others. And I think we'll respond the way we've always done: keep people out. Look at what happened to the Okies during the Dust Bowl — were people in California happy when they came out West?

BP: Oftentimes when you read about how we'll deal with climate change, there's this widespread notion that the world will have to cooperate in a variety of ways. We'll have to work together to cut emissions and deal with the effects of rising temperatures. But as you found, that's far from inevitable.

MF: Yeah, that was the main point of the book. People who are interested in climate change seem to assume that the way out is that everyone will work together. Rich countries will help the developing world, which is going to get hit hardest by climate change.

But adaptation isn't necessarily going to be a let's-all-work-together thing. Certainly the reaction to climate change that I saw, people weren't always working together — they were working to save their own asses. And the idea that we're all going to come together to deal with this is a huge assumption that isn't much tested.

BP: Did you found counterexamples — places where people really did seem to be working together to deal with climate change?

MF: Yeah, I think one reason I didn't come away totally hopeless from this whole project is that while I saw a lot of reliance on ways of thinking that lead to every person for themselves, you don't really see pure selfish assholedom in this world.

I didn't go out for things that were working well, but one example was the Great Green Wall in Africa. Despite a lack of money and the fact that the project may not actually work, you have thousands of kids and soldiers building this wall of trees to stop the Sahara from marching through Senegal. And it was pretty impressive — they were doing this together. I think I made clear in the book that I'm not sure the project will work out, no one thinks it will actually halt desertification, but you kind of wanted it to succeed as you saw it happening.

What Song Did Jay Z Dedicate to Beyoncé on Her Birthday?
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]

While the Internet honors BeyDay with #FF photos, videos, and assorted memes, Beyoncé chose to celebrate her 34th birthday by asking friends and family to dedicate a song that reminded them of a special moment they shared with her. The tribute playlist, which features picks from her parents, childhood friends, and even Blue, reveals quite a lot more than we’ve come to expect about the usually private singer. For instance, Beyoncé once celebrated her eighth birthday by moonwalking with a Michael Jackson impersonator. She also apparently became best friends with Kelly Rowland while bonding over their love of Mary J. Blige. And as for the song Jay Z chose to dedicate to his wife? He went with “Yellow,” which reminds him of when they were on vacation, “away from work and totally lost in love.”

Microsoft is using Bing to discourage Windows 10 users from downloading Chrome and Firefox
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]

Microsoft is using a new tactic to keep Windows 10 users from switching away from its Edge browser. The first time Edge users search for “chrome” or “firefox” using Bing — presumably with the intent of downloading those browsers from Google or Mozilla, respectively — they are shown a serious-looking message at the top of the search results.

“Microsoft recommends Microsoft Edge for Windows 10,” it says. A “Learn why” button next to that message brings you to a website showing off Edge’s features.

The message only showed up the first time I searched for “chrome” and “firefox” in Edge, as I was just starting to get comfortable on the new Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11. Subsequent searches for those terms did not trigger the message. Neither did “opera,” which is another non-Microsoft browser. It’s not clear how widely deployed this message is; I’m in the U.S., but it’s possible that the message isn’t showing up in other countries.

“Microsoft Edge was designed exclusively for Windows 10 with features and functionality that enhance the browsing experience such as Cortana, Web Note, and Quick answers,” a Microsoft spokeswoman told VentureBeat in an email. “These notifications were created to provide people with quick, easy information that can help them get to know these experiences better. That said, with Windows 10 you can easily choose the default browser and search engine of your choice.”

Microsoft Edge, which Microsoft designed to compete with Chrome and Firefox and replace Internet Explorer in most scenarios, was a big release for Microsoft. Naturally the company wants to use the excitement around Windows 10 to build the Edge user base. Chrome has more than 1 billion users, while Edge became available to everyone less than two months ago, but is missing key features like extensions.

Mozilla, for its part, was not happy with the way Microsoft made it more difficult to restore previous settings and thus choose a browser like Mozilla’s Firefox as the default in Windows 10. Mozilla chief executive Chris Beard even wrote an open letter to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella about it, though Microsoft did not make any changes in response. “Consumers have the choice to set defaults, including for web browsing,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat at the time.

In the 1990s, Microsoft faced antitrust charges for bundling Internet Explorer with Windows. Microsoft isn’t in the same situation now, as Edge is hardly the giant that Internet Explorer was. But Microsoft is already exploring new ways to convert not just IE users to Edge, but those who prefer Chrome and Firefox as well.

Musicians have always relied on models to provide visual interest and sex appeal in their videos, but lately MTV clips have become as lucrative a career-launching platform as fashion shows. Look no further than Emily Ratajkowski, who skyrocketed to fame, fashion campaigns, and major film roles after frolicking in the nude for Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video. Xenia Deli is the latest model to share the spotlight with a pop superstar, playing a damsel in distress opposite Justin Bieber’s emo hero in the video for his latest single, “What Do You Mean?” The pair run from masked men, hit up a graffiti-covered skate park, and—to the ire of Beliebers everywhere—engage in an extended make-out session. The video—which has been viewed more than 24 million times—has introduced the Moldova native to a whole new audience. “People started to write me right away,” says Deli. “TV shows, magazines—my country is very proud of me, but my mom said that from now on, she would like to see me in the movies!”

Given that the “What Do You Mean?” video was directed by Brad Furman—the man behind Matthew McConaughey’s The Lincoln Lawyer and Justin Timberlake’s Runner Runner—Deli’s mother may soon get her wish. With her full lips and striking features, Deli seems made for Hollywood, and though she’s currently focused on modeling, she considers a transition into drama a natural progression. “Acting comes naturally to me,” she says. “I love it because it’s what makes me feel free and allows me to express myself.” Playing Bieber’s love interest allowed her a chance to dive into a sultry character, but it also forged a connection between Deli and the star offscreen. “It was an amazing experience working with such a talented and amazing person like Justin,” says Deli. “It was so much fun on set, he made me laugh a lot—we were talking about life and it gave me the insight that he is really spiritual and has a big heart.”

Deli was equally impressed by the star’s soulful VMA performance (after which he notably broke down in tears). “The most amazing thing about that performance was that emotional, sensual moment,” says Deli. “Justin has a big heart and fragile soul.” Bieber has clearly left an impression on the beauty, but her ambitions extend beyond simply being a video girl. “We are human and we always crave more,” quips Deli. “I would love to be the face of a huge brand, to do more magazine covers, and become known all around the world. I think every model would love to have that, and we live with that hope.”

Bik Karlskogas storseger speglade inte matchen
» ‎ Värmlands Folkblad

Tags: [edit]

Klar seger i genrepet.Men Tobias Thermell var inte imponerad.– Om man kollar i tidningen och ser 5–0 ser det kanske fantastiskt ut. Men det speglar inte direkt matchen, säger Bik Karlskoga-tränaren.
Redan efter två perioder hade Bik Karlskoga 4–0 i genrepet borta mot Vita Hästen.

Men det var egentligen bara i den första perioden som östvärmlänningarna levererade bra hockey.

– Vi tappade konceptet i andra, vi gjorde inte de här enkla grejerna som är så nyttiga i hockey. Det som vi gjorde bra i fösta perioden försvann, andra är riktigt dålig faktiskt. Så att vi gör två mål och går ifrån till 4–0 är lite konstigt, säger Tobias Thermell.

Bik Karlskoga ryckte upp sig i tredje.

– Joels insats i målet och första perioden var det som var bra egentligen.

• Vad gjorde ni bra i första?

– Då spelade vi efter våra grunder, försvarsspelet såg bra ut och vi var kvicka och kreativa när vi vände. Då tog vi oss snabbt genom mittzonen.

• Vad är du nöjd med under försäsongen?

– Att vi snackar samma språk, vi tränare och spelarna. Det finns en plan som vi följer, vi kan till och med låta spelarna ha genomgångar för de säger samma sak som vi gör. Det finns en idé.

• Vad måste bli bättre när serien drar igång?

– Vi måste orka göra grunderna konsekvent varje dag, det som man kan tycka är lite jobbigt. Men det blir nog samtidigt enklare när vi spelar om poäng.

Nästa helg spelar Bik Karlskoga premiär borta mot Mora.

– Nu blir det ledigt lördag och söndag, det är viktigt med återhämtning nu. Sedan ska vi skruva upp det måndag och tisdag, ha ledigt på onsdag och sedan torsdag och fredag. Det gäller att vi får upp temperaturen på träningarna nu.

• Formationerna ni spelade med nu – är det så ni kommer ställa upp i premiären?

– Vi får se lite, det är väl inte omöjligt. Det finns en konkurrenssituation nu när alla forwards är friska, nu hade vi 14 spelare med och alla fick speltid. Men det gäller för oss ledare att göra något bra av konkurrenssituationen också.

7 True Stories of Crashing Fashion Shows
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]

I like to think my penchant for bending the rules is genetic. The great story of my youth was my grandfather, well into his 70s, breaking off from his three sons at the 1987 NFL Championship game, only to re-emerge several moments later making a beeline across the field to New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, shaking the future Super Bowl MVP’s hand, and wishing him good luck in the game. That sense of can’t-stop-me determination was passed down to my father and, now, to me. It’s led me into a fair share of places I most certainly shouldn’t be, but by far the most exciting was New York Fashion Week.

It was my senior year of high school and I was playing out some type of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off scenario with my best friend. We had cut class and made our way to Bryant Park, where the shows were held at the time, with the intention of standing outside and gawking at all the models, editors, and celebrities going in and out of the venue. After several hours of people-watching, we started to hear clamoring about the Anna Sui show starting in 30 minutes. The voice in my head that I try to keep silent perked up and said, “Why not sneak in?” I looked at my partner in crime and we made the plan to find a way inside.

Working to our advantage was the fact that the tents in Bryant Park were watched by guards mostly around the main front and back entrances, leaving the backstage doors at the sides of the venue unwatched. We darted inside, and attempted to play it cool while winding our way into the show. Eventually, we made it past the guards. Moments later, the lights dimmed, and out stomped Agyness, Lara, Lily, and Karen, all glittering in Anna Sui’s Lurex-woven creations. Panda Bear and the Beatles played on the sound system, and even though I had spent my whole existence up to that point certain that I was meant to work in fashion, it was cemented for me in that moment.

“I love that! I love that you were so determined to come see the show, and, probably, I would have been the same way,” Sui told me over the phone. (In our first meeting, I couldn’t help blabbing to her that I crashed her show, then proudly declared it to the entire KCD PR team around her, who luckily laughed it off.) “I just like that people want to come to the show,” she continued. Her tip for future crashers looking to follow in my footsteps: “Go for it! Why not? I have no idea what the security is going to be like at the post office [where her show is this season]. I imagine it’s going to be harder to crash because there’s only one entrance area.”

“Although it doesn’t quite count as crashing—okay, it kind of does—I’ve weaseled my way into lots of shows that I wasn’t on the list for, thanks to the encouragement of my former colleague, Daily Telegraph fashion director Lisa Armstrong. Her technique for getting me in was ingenious, simple, and 100 percent effective: She would stride magisterially up to the door person, with me hovering close behind, flash her invitation, and then stop momentarily at the mouth of the exit point to look in whatever designer handbag she was toting that week. This is, of course, the most irritating behavior for any door person, rather akin to the habit of Italian tourists to hover en masse at the bottom point of elevators on the London Underground system. As she paused—momentarily immune to the tide of humanity—she would slip the invitation behind her back into my waiting hand. Then I would distractedly flash the same invitation for a second time. Of course, getting inside the show is half the battle. If you want to sit rather than stand, you have to evade the PRs who tend to have ultra-strategized, politically sensitive seating plans on their iPads. Never go straight to the front row unless you are a complete nightmare or delusional. Look for a friend in B, C, or beyond. Or just get over yourself and stand—the view is often better when you’re upright.”

Marc Sebastian Faiella, Model
“When I was fifteen my mom let me skip high school to try to sneak into Fashion Week. I was young and naive, and after a day I landed in the tents. Once there, I spent the entire day inside, and I got into so many shows. They were always the best and had tons of goodie bags, which is what I bribed my mom with to keep letting me skip school that week. Now as a model, I go to a lot of the shows my friends walk in, and I sneak them into anything I walk. I’ve taken my mom to Fashion Week before and brought her backstage at the Siki Im show. It’s a lot easier having worked with a lot of the people now arming the gates. However, one time my life as a crasher clashed with my life as a model. I walked the Marc by Marc Jacobs show my first season, and I checked in with a woman who remembered me from when I tried to crash a show a couple years back. I was desperate to get in, and I remember she pulled me by the arm out of this show. After her general shock of me now checking in as a model, we laughed about it.”

Nicole Phelps, Director, Vogue Runway
“My first Marc Jacobs show was the collection he played the Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony.’ I was working at WWD at the time, much too junior to score a ticket—someone must have given it to me. It was the height of Kate and Shalom and Carolyn Murphy and all of those girls, and it was glorious. My second Marc show, I crashed. I was at Elle and still pretty naive. I used another Elle editor’s name—she was out of town. I didn’t have any idea that the PR people at check-in might know who she was and, by default, know that I wasn’t her. But I guess they were as green as me. Then, as now, Marc was the biggest designer in New York City and the symbol of all that was cool to me at the time. Until the moment the show started, I was panicked I’d get kicked out. I haven’t missed a Marc show since.”

Maria Cornejo, Designer
“The only time I really crashed a show was when I was a student at fashion school in London. At that time in the eighties, shows were so much less corporate than they are now. I also dressed like a fashion student and I think it was easy for me to mix in with the fashion crowd. I remember it being exhilarating to see something that seemed to be so out of reach. You get swept away in the excitement of it all. Now everyone has access with live-streams, social media, et cetera, that there’s really no need to feel like you need to crash a show! It’s wonderful that this generation can see and be inspired by fashion even if they don’t work in the industry. Personally, I put a ban on all social media before the clothing goes down the runway because I want to keep something an element of surprise. It’s important to keep things new in this age of constant information.”

Mackenzie Wagoner, Beauty Editor, Vogue.com
“If we’re not counting the Limited Too fashion shows my sister and I walked in at our local mall, I went to my first real Fashion Week event when I was a teenager. My friend had been gifted fashion show tickets by an editor working for a Chicago newspaper whom she met in passing. And, in a kind of pay-it-forward gesture, she shared them with me and some other friends. I was not the skipping-school type, so I could only go to one: Geoffrey Beene—among the first presentations after his death in 2004. In anticipation, I read all about the great American sportswear designer and his lasting influence. I lost sleep over my outfit and borrowed a much-too-large pair of shoes from my fashionable neighbor. To my horror, when I arrived at the show, ready to take my seat amid the pumping music and editors I would one day call colleagues, I discovered that it was a dead-quiet showroom. What’s worse, the handful of people in the space all seemed to know each other. Pinnacle mortification was reached when a member of the Beene team approached me to talk about the collection and ask if I had any questions. I couldn’t even remember which paper I was supposed to be representing. I think I managed to blurt out something about a wool coat reminding me ‘of my mother’ before all but crawling on my hands and knees to escape the room.”

Nick Remsen, Fashion Writer, Vogue
“A weirdly specific memory, but I snuck into Phillip Lim’s Fall 2010 collection (one of the last shows at Bryant Park), and there was this song on the soundtrack that I was super into but couldn’t immediately identify. (This was either pre-Shazam, or I just didn’t have it.) A few months later, I was driving with a friend and the song was randomly on a playlist he’d downloaded. It’s called ‘Poison Lips’ by Vitalic. It’s very good. Also, because of that show, I missed my flight back to Miami, where I was living for college, but it was worth it, I think?”

Anna Sui, Designer
“Actually, I haven’t crashed a fashion show. I was just trying to figure out some of the early fashion shows that I went to—I don’t know how I got in, but I had an invitation. I just wrote to Steven Meisel to ask him about one of the shows we went to, but maybe he doesn’t remember, either. Maybe we knew somebody who knew somebody. I was always such a keen fashion fan that if there was something that sounded really, really interesting, [I would try to be there]. I remember Kansai Yamamoto had a show, and I think the way I got to see that was I knew Kezia [Keeble] and Paul [Cavaco] from KCD and maybe they produced it. If you talk about seeing rock groups—that I’ve crashed! I remember I went to see the New York Dolls. Back then, because there was no Internet, no cell phones, it was just word of mouth, and somebody said, ‘Just tell them that so-and-so invited you.’ So when I went to the door, I said, ‘So-and-so invited me,’ and she said, ‘I’m so-and-so and I don’t know who you are.’ So that was the last time I tried that. Ultimately, she let me in, because I think she thought I was so nervy to do that. That was a kind of punk rock moment.”

Aranäs föll mot Alingsås

Aranäs föll ikväll (fredag) borta mot seriekollegan Alingsås med 24-37, (12-18).

Men det var Aranäs som inledde bäst och kunde gå fram till en ledning på 3-1 sedan målvakten Daniel Bergquist inlett med två räddningar och Christoffer Hedberg kunde kontra in två mål.

Förre Aranästränaren Mikael Franzén visste en hel del om sina motståndare och såg till att hans lag kunde vända matchen och gå till en betryggande pausledning.

– Tycker dessutom att vi spelade bra under långa stunder så det var ganska mycket som var på plats idag, säger Mikael Franzén till klubbens hemsida.

Aranäs som brottas med en hel del spelarskador, visade ändå upp ett bra spel. Sedan tidigare dras Jesper Gustavsson med en axelskada.

Kungsbackalagets nyförvärv Philip Johnsson (från Sävehof) gjorde sin bästa match i Aranäströjan och blev också bästa målskytt med 6 mål.

Målgörare, Aranäs, Philip Jonsson 6, Carl Löfström 5, Tommy Atterhäll 4 (2), Christopher Hedberg 2, Jonathan Wiklund 2, Pontus Mellegård 2, Erik Göterling, Jonathan Lindecrantz, Hannes Söderberg.

Hands-on with the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]

There comes a point when I have to stop for a moment to appreciate how far technology has come. The new Aspire One Cloudbook 11 from Acer is modest in many regards — limited storage space, diminutive monitor — but it’s also a capable machine for an affordable price. The 32GB unit I’m using retails for $190 (with a 16GB version at a $20 discount), and it’s a wonder that such a versatile machine is available for such a small price.

Granted, I’m not unleashing the taxing programs I would put a more powerful laptop or even my desktop. Instead, I’ve been primarily using Chrome to surf the Internet, which is the main thing I use a computer for anyway. And Aspire is fine for that. The trackpad works well for minute positioning, and it allows for two-finger scrolling, so I was able to navigate without searching for a mouse to plug into one of the two USB ports.

However, it didn’t take long for a few hiccups to surface. Aspire has an Intel Celeron N3050 Dual-Core processor, which, if you don’t speak technical jargon, means it’s going to be taxed even without a lot going on. You know how animated GIFs populate every corner of the Internet? It didn’t take many for the machine to slow to a crawl. I quickly recognized the risk and chose to avoid it rather than face the wrath of a stuttering webpage.

As you might expect, this problem increases exponentially if you’re keen on keeping a dozen or so tabs open. Once I found the laptop’s limitations, though, I adjusted my browsing habits accordingly to push on with nary a hitch.

Aside from browsing, my other main use for a computer is writing. That makes sense given that’s what I do for a living, right? Aspire handles Google Docs swimmingly (that’s where I wrote most of the this story), and if you demand a more versatile word processor, Acer has you covered. Every Cloudbook comes with a free year of Office 365. Granted, you have to shell out money after a year, but at least you have 12 months to enjoy Microsoft’s office tools.

Office 365 isn’t the only year-long test drive Aspire offers. If 16GB and 32GB seem paltry space, sign up for 1TB of data through OneDrive. Again, it’s a sneaky offer considering that, if you fall in love with all those bytes of storage space, you’re going to be whipping out your credit card for the privilege of continuing to use it going forward. But at least you can try it for a year to see if it’s worth the cost.

Unlike its closest competitor, Google Chromebook, Aspire runs on Windows 10. This is an advantage for me because I already use Microsoft’s latest operating system on my desktop. I’ve put it through its paces here, and it runs just as smoothly as it does elsewhere.

Cortana, Microsoft’s answer to Apple Siri and Google Voice, is included with the OS, and I played around with her (its?) voice-recognition capability. I have to admit, after using Siri on my iPhone 6 for the last eight months, I was shocked at how well Cortana works. Here, even though I was using the built-in microphone next to an open window above a busy San Francisco street corner (complete with honking horns and yelling traffic cops), it picked up nearly every word I said. It even helped me change its search engine from Bing to Google, and I have to applaud Cortana for taking the high ground on a touchy subject.

Sadly, I can’t imagine using Cortana’s voice tool for anything other than novelty purposes. Unlike on a phone, where I’m cursed with a virtual keyboard, I have the real thing on the Aspire, and I’d much rather type in a query than let my officemates hear the myriad things that I don’t know.

I did do one final thing with my Aspire before setting to work on this post. I know that it won’t be able to run a graphically intense video game such as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but something a little more modest seemed appropriate. So I downloaded the Steam digital PC game store and Spelunky to see if it was possible to play my favorite game on a sub-$200 machine. Surprisingly, at least to me, it ran without a hitch. That could be good or bad depending how much you want to be distracted from doing work. I’ll let you know my thoughts as soon as I finish another playthrough.

After spending a few hours with Acer’s answer to the Google Chromebook, I’m impressed by how versatile this machine is at such a low price. As long as you understand where Aspire excels (internet browsing, office tools, retro-style games), there’s a lot to like about this machine.

Now if only I could convince Cortana to publish this with one well-worded request. Maybe on next year’s version.

Apple’s ‘Hey Siri’ event wish list: iPad Pro, iPhone 6S, & a worthy Apple TV update
» ‎ Gigaom

Tags: [edit]
We have only a single clue ahead of next week’s Apple media event: “Hey Siri, give us a hint.”

Oh, and no shortage of rumors, whispers, and posturing.

Apple’s keynote is September 9. We expect Siri to take a starring role, with Apple incorporating its digital assistant inside new products, such as an entirely new Apple TV (that may even feature third-party apps for the first time). Pushing Siri into the limelight will become even more necessary as smartcars and smarthomes become as commonplace as smartphones.

We also know the keynote will take place in San Francisco’s Civic Auditorium, which seats 7,000. That’s huge. Toss in the fact that it’s going to be streamed not only to iOS devices but Windows 10 users as well, and we are expecting a bold, boisterous Apple — one that’s eager to reveal its intentions to be everywhere we are, and with us everywhere we go.

Expectations aside, here are all the things we’re hoping Apple will announce within new or updated products, along with the (completely unscientific) odds it will happen:

iPhone Go Smaller (Odds: 25%)
iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are a given. We also hope Apple introduces a non-phablet device, one about the dimensions of an iPhone 4S, but with the newest hardware, Touch ID, and better camera. Phablets are awesome, but they’re not for everyone.

That said, there have been no reliable reports of a new device in an old form factor.
Force Touch (Odds: 90%)
Force Touch senses how hard or light the user is touching the screen, enabling an entirely new palette of controls. Touch the screen with extra pressure to call up a secondary menu, for example, or to access a weapons cache in your favorite first-person shooter. At the very least, Force Touch will reduce the number of swipes and taps required for a specific task.

If executed properly Force Touch could even negate the need for a home button. No home button means much more screen real estate. We are not expecting this anytime soon.
Bigger Battery (Odds: 25%)
Unless you’re rocking an iPhone 6 Plus, with its massive 2,910 mAh battery, at some point during the day you’re scoping out a wall socket. It’s 2015 and this needs to stop. We wish for significantly improved battery life. Otherwise, it’s like building the world’s greatest off-road vehicle, but including only a tiny gas tank. Lots of places you could take it, but you better not.

Unfortunately, there’s been very little chatter about a larger battery.
More Speed (Odds: 90%)
A new A9 processor and more RAM seem almost certain. This means better response, improved gameplay, fewer lags, even when running Pandora or Google Maps in the background, for example.

It’s also rumored the new iPhones will include a Qualcomm chip that increases LTE download speeds from 150 Mbps to 300 Mbps. That’s a noticeable improvement. We think this will happen.
A Sharper Image (Odds: 90%)
Multiple sites have all but confirmed that the new iPhones will include a 12mp camera — a decent leap in resolution over iPhone 6’s 8mp offering.

There are also multiple reports that the front camera will get a much-deserved boost from its paltry 1.2mp to 5mp. That, plus the expected front-facing slo-mo video feature should help usher in a whole new selfie revolution — and require Instagram to purchase a lot more servers.

We are hoping for a 16mp camera, which is now standard on most premium smartphones, but we think the odds of this happening are very slight.

The Stylus Still Rules The Galaxy Note 5
» ‎ TechCrunch

Tags: [edit]

The concept Galaxy Note 5 is at once a thing of genius and a nod to a benighted world before the modern touchscreen. Born in the swamps of the resistive LCD, the stylus lurched onto dry land and lives on as a reminder of our history. It is, to be sure, useful but on the Galaxy Note 5 it is a vestigial tool useful in parts of the world where handwriting is easier than tapping. But what does… Read More

Is Dakota Johnson Channeling Gwyneth Paltrow’s ’90s Red Carpet Style?
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]

Don’t say the nineties aren’t having a moment. Taking to the Venice Film Festival red carpet earlier tonight was actress Dakota Johnson in a floor-length, blush pink Prada slip dress that recalled the simplicity of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Ralph Lauren Collection princess moment at the Oscars in 1999.

This movie star’s take on the look is a tad less precious, and the light body-skimming silhouette has an easy modern vibe. Jewelry is minimal—a sculptural diamond bangle and drop earrings by Chopard provide blingy accents without being overwhelming. Tousled tresses and a bold red lip complete the nineties throwback moment; in fact we think supers like Kate and Naomi would be green with envy.

For Dakota Johnson, a minute is never “just a minute”:

Skottorp vann i Skogaby
» ‎ Laholms Tidning - LaholmsTidning.se

Tags: [edit]

Fotboll Skottorp gick segrande ur derbystriden på Skogaby IP med 3-2.
– Totalt sett tycker jag att vi vinner rättvist. Jag är nöjd med segern. Det är inte så lätt att komma till Skogaby och vinna, säger SIF:s tränare Kalle From.
Matchfakta
Skogaby BK-Skottorps IF 2-3 (1-1)
div 6 södra, herr
Mål SBK: Mattis Kindblom, Arton Gjinovci (straff)
Mål SIF: Simon Falk, Simon Silvandersson, Oskar Moberg
Domare: Hannes Persson, Laholm
Gästerna från Skottorp inledde bra. I den tionde minuten knoppade Simon Falk in 1-0 till SIF efter frispark från Petter Svensson.
Calle Nätterström i SBK:s mål tvingades till några svettiga räddningar när Arek Jaworski och Robin Palm avslutade. Nätterström höll kvar hemmalaget i matchen.
Mitt i Skottorps press gick Skogaby upp och gjorde 1-1. Egzon Bajramaj slog fina hörnor matchen igenom och efter en halvtimmes spel nådde Mattis Kindblom högst och nickade in 1-1.
I kraft av kvitteringen kom SBK igång och Bedar Omar i Skottorp tvingades nicka bort en boll på mållinjen efter hörna från Bajramaj.
– Vi startade dåligt, men avslutade bra och pratade om att ta med oss det ut till andra halvlek, säger SBK:s tränare Nijazi Behrami.
Men det var SIF som inledde bäst även efter halvtid. Simon Silvandersson bombade in 2-1 via Skogabyben och Oskar Moberg rann igenom fram till 3-1 efter ett fint anfall.
Skogaby blev bättre och bättre även i andra. Nijazi Behrami var nära en reducering men avslutet tog istället i ribban.
2-3 kom i den 75:e minuten då Mohamed Sisei gick omkull och Arton Gjinovci satte dit den påföljande straffsparken.
SBK gick för en kvittering men fick inte inte fler hål på Skottorp.

– Jag tycker att vi är bättre än Skogaby i 80 minuter. Domaren var jätteduktig men jag tyckte att det var axel mot axel och inte straff. Efter det blir det match igen. Sådan är ju fotbollen, säger Kalle From i SIF och berömmer Simon Falk och Oscar Gustafsson.
– Skottorp är stabila bakåt och vi lyckas inte riktigt komma igenom. Men vi skapar ändå en hel del och vi tjongar inte bara. Vi försöker hitta upp och spela. Jag är väl så nöjd som man kan vara efter en förlust, säger Nijazi Behrami i SBK och berömmer Mattis Kindblom och Tobias Johansson.

Säker LTIK-seger borde varit större mot Skuggan
» ‎ Laholms Tidning - LaholmsTidning.se

Tags: [edit]

Fotboll Det var tre poäng som bara skulle in på Lilla Tjärbys konto. Seger blev det också mot Skuggan, men ”bara” med 3-0.
– En säker seger. Inte mycket mer än så. Jag hade önskat några mål till, säger LTIK:s tränare Matias Berggren.
Matchfakta
Lilla Tjärby IK-Skuggan BoIS 3-0 (2-0)
div 6 södra, herr
Mål LTIK: Simon Vedin, Adam Johansson, Emil Jönsson
Domare: Jan-Olof Jacobsson, Mellbystrand
Det var långa stunder spel mot ett mål när bottenlaget Skuggan BoIS gästade L:a Tjärby IP. I första halvlek var det en kavalkad av missade målchanser. Bland annat hade Emil Olsson och Emil Jönsson ett varsitt avslut i virket innan ettan kom.
Olle Günther Hanssen nickade ner bollen och Simon Vedin gick igenom och klippte bollen i nät.
– Där är Simon som bäst när han kommer i fart i halvdålig vinkel och bara drar till, säger Berggren.
Kort därefter kom tvåan då Günther Hanssen glidtacklade fram bollen till Adam Johansson som fick på ett bra distansskott. 2-0 via stolpen.
– Vi säger att vi ska föra spelet och ha ett högt tempo, men det fungerar inte riktigt. Skuggan spelade väldigt tufft och satsningarna bakifrån stävjades inte. Jag tror att mina killar blev lite rädda, säger LTIK-tränaren.

I andra halvlek gjorde Emil Jönsson tidigt 3-0. Han fick en fin boll av Emil Olsson, som han plockade ner och elegant satte dit.
Matchen kändes klar. Skuggan kom i enstaka kontringsförsök och hade en bra chans sedan bollen glidit deras väg i vätan. Men avslutet en bit utanför.
LTIK borde gjort fler mål. Daniel Hellsten hade en boll i ribban. Simon Vedin hann inte fram till öppet mål efter ett inspel och Emil Olsson nickade på Skuggans målvakt i öppet läge efter bra inlägg från Albin Johansson.
– Mot slutet blir spelet lite bättre. Men vi ska så klart göra fler mål. Vi har sju, åtta klara chanser i första och nästan lika många i andra. Det är ändå inte helt lätt. Skuggan spelar tufft och är ganska tajta där bak. Dessutom har vi lite svårt att få igång spelet mot de sämre lagen i serien, säger Berggren.
Beröm delar LTIK-tränaren ut till tvillingbröderna Adam och Albin Johansson på innermittfältet respektive högerbacken.

Lättnad och besvikelse
» ‎ Värmlands Folkblad

Tags: [edit]

Över Deje vilar mörka moln på fredagsförmiddagen. De ackompanjerar budskapet på skylten utanför Konsumbutiken.
Vid lottkiosken intill står Östen Hassel, 71, och knyter näven:

– Så här går det när ledningen missköter verksamheten.

Att beskedet om nedläggning kom som en skuffelse för de Konsumtrogna Dejeborna är ingen överdrift. Östen Hassel och hans kamrater är gruvligt besvikna – men inte särskilt förvånade. De tycker att Konsum Värmlands ledning skött sig mer än lovligt illa de senaste åren.

En av herrarna ryter till med ”Det är för jävligt att de lägger ned butiken!” innan han ilsket skyndar vidare.

Östen Hassel ser dock även andra förklaringar:

– Ledningen har ett stort ansvar, men det är klart att butiken lider av att det varken finns Systembolag eller apotek här i Deje. Folk åker till Forshaga eller Karlstad och passar på att handla där. Det är billigare säger de. Men räknar de med resorna då?

Inne i affären är det relativt tomt. Butikschefen Clas Skoglund är ledig och i kassan sitter Robin Larsson, som på VF:s frågor hänvisar vidare till Konsum Värmlands informationschef.

– Vi har fått instruktioner om det. Det enda jag kan säga är att det är blandade känslor en sån här dag. Som ung funderar man om det är nån idé att bo kvar.

Marie Sandström som är inne och fredagshandlar med sina småttingar Alice, 3 och Signe, 10 månader, är också ledsen. Hon är medlem i Konsum Värmland och har verkligen försökt handla så mycket som möjligt i butiken under tiden av nedläggningshot.

– Tyvärr är det så att Ica här bredvid har ett lite bredare utbud, man måste ofta gå dit och kompletteringshandla. Det har nog haft betydelse är jag rädd. Men det är sorgligt att det ska behöva bli så här.

Ett medlemsmöte återstår, för Dejes del den 15 september, innan det slutliga beslutet tas. Östen Hassel har slutat hoppas.

– Det är ju bara en formalitet. Usch. Det är synd alltihop.

Några mil nordösterut, i lilla Sunnemo, är dock stämningarna betydligt mer positiva. Skylten utanför lanthandelns dörr förtäljer där om ett medlemsmöte där man tvärtom ska diskutera butikens bevarande.

Tillsammans med sex andra perifert belägna Konsumbutiker får man i Sunnemo förtroende att köra vidare.

– Det känns jättehärligt. Och vi måste tacka Sunnemoborna som verkligen ställt upp, under det första halvåret i år ökade vi omsättningen med mer än en halv miljon jämfört med i fjol, berättar butikschefen Lena Lundberg.

Förutom det förbättrade resultatet hänvisade Konsum Värmlands ledning också till att de orter i glesbygden som helt saknar andra affärer prioriterats. I Sunnemos fall är närmaste alternativet Munkfors, en mil bort. Eller Råda/Hagfors vilket är ännu längre.

Vid kassan har Annelie Svensson och hennes till åren komna mamma Gunborg Lundqvist precis handlat klart. De är båda lättade:

– Jag blev rädd när jag såg att butiken var hotad i våras, inte minst för mammas skull. De har väldigt bra personal som verkligen tar sig tid och tar väl hand om de äldre, säger Annelie.

– Ja, och så träffar man ju alltid på nån att prata med när man går hit, det är en nog så viktig poäng. Det känns väldigt skönt att butiken får vara kvar, menar Gunborg.

-----

Så här ser förslaget ut:

De här butikerna räddas: Vikene, Stöllet, Skillingmark, Nykroppa, Sunnemo, Lesjöfors och Bråten.

De här butikerna läggs ned: Coop Extra I Degerfors, Coop Konsum Skogsgatan i Kristinehamn, Coop Konsum Deje och Coop Konsum Skrantahallen i Karlskoga.
