Press release for upcoming Global Legal Confex Event in London Events 4 Sure
At the same time, the UK legal profession can take great pride in the significant position it occupies on the global stage. The legal firms have continued to build their businesses and networks into the major global economies. This leading position in both the mature and emerging economies places UK law firms in a pre-eminent position as the legal adviser of choice on the major transactions driving economic activity in the global markets.
The Global Outsourcing Association for Lawyers (GOAL) is organizing the Global Legal ConfEx in London on 09 September 2015, an event presented by Propero Partners and managed by Events 4 Sure. One can expect this Legal ConfEx to act as the ideal platform to promote the welfare, interests, education and professional development of all legal professionals who are directly or indirectly associated with the legal industry.
Residual stresses in diamond coatings grown on WC-Co substrate have been investigated by
X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Nano-diamond coatings were deposited by microwave
plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique (MP-CVD). To measure residual stress,
we tried different peak selection and instrument setting mode (χ mode and ω mode). For getting
reliable residual stress value, sin2ψ-method with omega-tilting mode (χ=0) was employed. The
(311) plane of CVD diamond was used with tilting angle (ψ) from -40 to 40 degrees. A
compressive stress of 1.65GPa was obtained by linear fitting the mean d-spacing values of
positive and negative tilting. The occurrence of “ψ-splitting” demonstrates the existence of
non-zero shear stress normal to the surface.

Stand your ground online – the future growth for the National Lottery
The real money gaming market is a growing and valuable segment of the digital economy, with an increasing share of the global gaming market. The interactive gaming market was estimated to be worth €26.1billion in 2013, with a predicted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% to 2018.
In the last few years online gaming’s development has benefited from the roll-out of broadband services; from technology innovation and the rapid expansion of smartphones and tablets; from investment by the industry to promote its services; from increased consumer trust in payment mechanisms; and from traditional bricks and mortar businesses making it online.
Growth has also been driven by an expanding customer demographic. As the early adopters, who typically were in the 18–25 age-bracket, become older and continue to play, they are being joined by the next generation of gamers, whom enjoy their first gaming experience online through phones and tablets.
National Lottery Forum will give national gaming and gambling executives an opportunity to assess the competitive landscape and establish
road-maps to effectively compete with other operators. By understanding which platforms and technology to invest in, national operators can
maintain desirable offers to their customers and prevent any further loss of revenue.

Baromètre de la transformation digitale - Les secrets des Super Héros du Digital - CSC 2015. Le Baromètre de la Transformation Digitale est une étude réalisée pour la 1ère année par
CSC. Il est basé sur une analyse qualitative et quantitative des tendances et perspectives en matière de transformation digitale auprès de PDG et directeurs généraux, directeurs du digital, directeurs marketing, commercial, distribution, qualité et relation client, DSI, directeurs de la stratégie, directeurs financiers et DRH appartenant à un échantillon d'entreprises principalement françaises. Ces dirigeants ont été interrogés sur les impacts du digital en termes de stratégie de développement, de positionnement de leur organisation, d'évolution de leur portefeuille d'offres, d'adaptation de leur dispositif en matière d'expérience et relation client, de degré de digitalisation de leurs processus opérationnels et de support, de développement d'une culture digitale auprès de leurs collaborateurs et d'intégration des ruptures technologiques associées. Le questionnaire a été conçu et administré par CSC via un formulaire diffusé sur internet (Google Forms) auprès de 15 000 contacts, sur les mois de novembre et décembre 2014. "Business models" disruptifs, usages des produits en constante (r)évolution, expérience client renouvelée, acculturation des collaborateurs, digitalisation des processus dans une logique d'efficacité opérationnelle, exploitation en continu des technologies de nouvelle génération : autant de composantes du changement sur lesquelles les super héros du digital jouent pour mettre en oeuvre des stratégies de transformation véritablement en rupture, offensives, pérennes et rentables.
Iot report federal trade commission_150127iotrptMarket Engel SAS
I publish this FTC report on IOT because i think that it's a good report and it has also been -- i think -- wrongly been seen as potentially bashing IOT potentials. See, for example, an article published yesterday "From www.theverge.com - February 15, 11:24 PM
'In the internet of things, the Federal Trade Commission sees the possibility of flourishing new markets. But it also sees a prologue to Black Mirror: in a new report that probes the privacy implications of connected devices, the commission surveys a landscape of possible dystopian futures. Get ready for invasive marketing, unending consumer surveillance, invisible nudging, and new potential for government spying and novel forms of hacking...'"
The FTC report is 55 page long, refers to workshops discussions that took place in nov 2013, and although the report stages pros and cons in a very articulated manner, the FTC applies to IOT the security & privacy guidelines and other 'good practices' that have been applied to internet-of-other-things, :-), so far. So, i think that we need to be super cautious about these discussions: Yes, the IOT generates challenges with which we may not yet be familiar with. But not really more. And let's remember that, unless we haven't learned about basic security risks, we are still in a position to say 'no' if the risks look bigger than the opportunities. Many say that 'privacy' -- as we've known it on the net 10 years ago -- is gone. Maybe. Things evolve. But at this stage, i think that no, IOT won't kill privacy. It might actually be the contrary. Let's think that, thx to IOT, i'll be more capable to change the way i work, live, pay and play online and offline. Let's say that, thx to IOT, my assurance level(s) against risks of -- for example -- ID theft and impersonation does rise. Let's believe that, thx to IOT, we just become more and better aware of what matters and does not,, so that we have the tools and the systems to better manage our environment. To make a long story short, let's just recall that IOT technology is just like any other technology: It is neutral. What is not neutral is its use. So, this is why i believe that there is, with IOT, more opportunities than risks to strengthen the privacy of our environment... provided that -- yes, i agree -- we (also) think IOT this way.

About SIGFOX
SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication for connected objects. Leveraging on its patented UNB technology SIGFOX brings a revolution to the M2M and Internet of Things world by enabling large-scale connection of objects. The network already connects tens of thousands of objects in France and international cities.
SIGFOX provides an end-to-end solution for your communication chain, from your objects through to your information system, with unprecedented pricing models and low energy consumption.
As a network operator SIGFOX operates fixed-location
transceivers enabling your objects to be connected “out of the box”. However contrary to the telecommunication networks, the SIGFOX transceivers and the entire SIGFOX connectivity solution has been developed, built and deployed to only serve the low throughput M2M and IoT applications. As an operated longrange network, SIGFOX provides connectivity without the need to deploy specific network infrastructures for each application.
Unlike other narrow band or white space solution providers we do not require our customers to invest in network equipment, the SIGFOX network is simply available to any object equipped with our certified connectivity solutions.
From an application point of view, the SIGFOX connectivity solution functions as follows:
• SIGFOX compatible modems are integrated within the physical objects by our certified partner network
• The objects instruct the modems to send messages whenever and wherever needed
• The transmitted data is picked up by the SIGFOX transceivers, and routed to our managed service
• The SIGFOX servers verify the data integrity and route the messages to the application’s IT system.
(...)
Sample use cases.
MAAF Assurances, one of the leading French insurance companies, anticipate the upcoming regulation that will impose by 2015 that each household be equipped with a smoke detector. The fire and/or intrusion alert service that will be using the SIGFOX network will enable MAAF insured customers to be warned directly through SMS, in case the intrusion or smoke detectors send alarms and allow MAAF and their customers to be alerted if there is an anomaly, such as low battery, with the
smoke detector.
Clear Channel Outdooroperates stations throughout France. In order to avoid constant manual inspection of the ad stations, a remote monitoring application has been deployed and the SIGFOX network is used to communicate status information from each ad station to the IT system.

The mobile industry has scaled dramatically over the
last decade. At the end of 2003, there were a little over
one billion unique subscribers, meaning that just under
one in six people had subscribed to a mobile service. By
the end of 2013 this figure had increased to 3.4 billion
unique subscribers: equivalent to just under half of the
global population. Globally there were 6.9 billion SIM
connections at the end of 2013, with an average of 1.8
active SIM cards per unique subscriber*

Electronic Signature markets and vendors_Forrester Wave_Q2_2013Market Engel SAS
Key Takeaways:
1. E-Signature Technology Gains Momentum
Electronic signatures are gaining momentum due to rapidly evolving consumer technology and the need to reduce transaction costs and the time to close business. In short, electronic signing will become simpler, more accessible, and cheaper with more tablets and touchscreen computers.
2. Enterprise E-Signature Requirements Show Substantial Diversity.
This report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills the wide range of enterprise e-signature requirements that stem from compliance, geographic, and customer experience differences. This report helps enterprise architects select the right e-signature solution.
3. Well Balanced Leaders Drive The Market.
In Forrester’s 18-criteria evaluation of e-signature vendors, we compared the 10 most significant software providers in the category -- Adobe, ARX, AssureSign, DocuSign, eSignSystems, RightSignature, RPost, Sertifi, SIGNiX, and Silanis.
Digital signatures, paving the way to a digital Europe_Arthur D Little_2014Market Engel SAS
Digital signature solutions are quickly replacing paper-based signatures and have the potential to dominate signature-related processes. The primary benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction. Processes that still require a handwritten signature slow down turnaround time, increase complexity in terms of archiving, and also raise environmental issues with regards to paper usage. Companies are therefore increasingly adopting digital signature solutions to address those challenges.
The financial services industry is the pioneer in the adoption and development of digital signature solutions, and we expect other industries, such as telecommunication, commerce, utilities, notaries and healthcare, to follow soon as the benefits of this new technology, namely increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction, are not restricted to any industry. While offering clear advantages, digital signature solutions still need to overcome some challenges, such as the need to adapt existing systems and processes to the new technology, concern about acceptance by business partners and the perceived high cost.
The European Union is currently finalizing regulation, which will increase the legal value of advanced electronic signatures and remote electronic signing services by offering the possibility to generate a qualified digital signature using a remote signing system. The regulation is expected to be enacted in early July 2014. This development is expected to serve as an example for other markets on how to approach digital signatures from a regulatory standpoint.
This report is based on Arthur D. Little’s survey of 50 market experts in Europe, as well as comprehensive secondary market research. In this report, we provide an overview of the digital signature technology, its current and potential market, as well as the benefits and challenges it brings. We also present examples of practical applications of digital signature solutions.

The UK is Worlds’ #2 in iPad Game Spending and Console Gaming Popularity
The UK is number 2 in the world when it comes to the popularity of console gaming with 71% of all gamers playing on the TV screen. Only the French are more geared towards traditional console gaming. Overall, the UK is the 5th largest games market in the world when it comes to revenues generated by its gamers, behind Japan, China, Germany and the US.
Despite being characterized as a relatively traditional games market, smartphone and specifically tablet gaming is enormously popular. The UK ranks number 2 in the world in total game spend on the iPad. Of the 34.7 million UK gamers, 62% spend money on games, the third highest in the world behind Germany and Canada.
The largest amount of UK gamers can be found on social/casual platform followed by TV/console. Using Newzoo’s Screen Segmentation Model, 23.8% of gamers are playing across all four screens. The PC is used by 88.7% of gamers making it the most played on screen, although it is relatively less popular in the UK than most other Western countries.

The Netherlands Ranks #1 in the World when it comes to playing games for free
Netherlands is #1 in the world when it comes to playing games for free – 55% of the gamers don’t spend money on games at all. Although the Netherlands is relatively small and only has 8 million gamers it is still ranked relatively high with the 15th place in the world when looking at gaming revenues. This is also reflected by the monthly mobile game revenue ranking per App Store – the Netherlands is ranked 12th in the iPad store, 21st in the iPhone store and 20th in the Google Play Store. The main reason the Dutch like these mobile games is that they can try most of them out before spending money on them – this F2P business model fits the Dutch market very well. However if they like a game they will start spending significant amounts of money – Candy Crush Saga for example earns more than €250.000 a month in the Netherlands.
When it comes to cross-screen gaming, only 14.1% of all Dutch gamers are playing across all four screens – the only two countries that have a lower percentage are South Korea (13.2%) and Poland (10.8%). This indicates that the Dutch mostly stick to one or two screens to play games – this is also the reason why the player percentages per screen are relatively low compared to other countries: computer screen 87.2%, personal screen 61.2%, entertainment screen 53.9% and floating screen 35.7%.

France #1 in the world when it comes to playing games on TV/Console
71.5% of all 29.8 million gamers in France play on a TV/Console, the highest percentage in the world. The UK (70.7%) and Spain (70.3%) are not far behind. When looking at the global game revenues France is ranked 7th in the world and 3rd in Europe – following Germany #1 and UK #2 at a respectable distance. As in most of the countries, social/casual games have the highest number of players (23.8 M), followed by TV/Console (21.3 M) and downloaded PC/Mac games (16.6 M).
When it comes to cross-screen gaming, 21.2% of all French gamers are playing across all four screens. The Computer Screen is still the most popular screen with 90.4% of French gamers playing on it. The Entertainment Screen is relatively popular with 71.5% of all gamers playing here. France has one of the highest percentages of gamers in Europe that play on the floating screen (tablet and/or handheld console) with 39.2%. Only in Spain 48.2% and Italy 42.6% does the floating screen have a higher share of all players playing on it.
The position of France in the monthly mobile game revenue rankings is pretty consistent across the different AppStores: #7 Google Play, #8 iPhone and #9 iPad. Until recently, France was ranked 6th in the Google Play Store – however, up and comer Taiwan pushed France down to position number 7. In all three AppStores Candy Crush Saga is the number 1 grossing game. In-app purchases are relatively popular in France with 94% of the game revenues in the iOS AppStore coming from this business model.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Gaming Convergence
It has become fashionable to divide the gaming industry into sectors: online and land-based.
They have been viewed as competitors in the same industry, but should they be viewed in this
manner? Are there undeveloped synergies between online and land-based gaming? This
panel will assess these questions and, more generally, survey the convergence of online and
land-based gaming.

gaining most press will be discussed: Sports Integrity with a particular focus on Europe and
Asia. ‘Black Market jurisdictions’, where there is no proper enforcement against match fixing,
will be a key discussion point. Tying in with this, in-play betting will be canvassed. In this
context, the emphasis will be on whether the steps to prohibit in-play betting are likely to
reduce match fixing. Finally, updates on licensing for sports betting products will be provided.
