Sandy Slams New York Startups - Business Insider

Hurricane Sandy tore through Manhattan earlier this week, leaving much of New York City and its surrounding areas without power.

While Wall Street and the rest of the city's businesses were hard-hit, Manhattan's burgeoning startup scene took a blow, too.

Business Insider's headquarters in the Flatiron district have been shut down since Monday. ?Foursquare's headquarters is also without power. Even Etsy, which is based in Brooklyn, has struggled to stay up and running.

But SinglePlatform, a startup which Wiley Cerilli sold to Constant Constant a few months ago for nearly $100 million, may have taken the worst hit.

SinglePlatform's headquarters is in Battery Park in lower Manhattan, a low-lying area which faced Sandy head-on as the storm swept in from the Atlantic. Here's the photo of the hit it took during the storm, taken by Alex Silverman:

Kenny Herman, SinglePlatform's head of business development,??says it's not clear when the office will reopen. SinglePlatform's new parent company, Constant Contact, is headquartered in Waltham, Mass., but it also has a nearby office on Hudson Street in Manhattan, where the power remains out.

Meanwhile, he and some colleagues have a makeshift setup on the Upper East Side?a part of Manhattan which still has power.

Sandy and storm surge pose 'worst case scenario'

KENSINGTON, Md. (AP) ? The projected storm surge from Hurricane Sandy is a "worst case scenario" with devastating waves and tides predicted for the highly populated New York City metro area, government forecasters said Sunday.

The more they observe it, the more the experts worry about the water ? which usually kills and does more damage than winds in hurricanes.

In this case, seas will be amped up by giant waves and full-moon-powered high tides. That will combine with drenching rains, triggering inland flooding as the hurricane merges with a winter storm system that will worsen it and hold it in place for days.

Louis Uccellini, environmental prediction chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told The Associated Press that given Sandy's due east-to-west track into New Jersey, that puts the worst of the storm surge just north in New York City, Long Island and northern New Jersey. "Yes, this is the worst case scenario," he said.

In a measurement of pure kinetic energy, NOAA's hurricane research division on Sunday ranked the surge and wave "destruction potential" for Sandy ? just the hurricane, not the hybrid storm it will eventually become ? at 5.8 on a 0 to 6 scale. The damage expected from winds will be far less, experts said. Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters says that surge destruction potential number is a record and it's due to the storm's massive size.

"You have a lot of wind acting over a long distance of water for hundreds of miles" and that piles the storm surge up when it finally comes ashore, Masters said. Even though it doesn't pack much power in maximum wind speed, the tremendous size of Sandy ? more than 1,000 miles across with tropical storm force winds ? adds to the pummelling power when it comes ashore, he said.

The storm surge energy numbers are bigger than the deadly 2005 Hurricane Katrina, but that can be misleading. Katrina's destruction was concentrated in a small area, making it much worse, Masters said. Sandy's storm surge energy is spread over a wider area. Also, Katrina hit a city that is below sea level and had problems with levees.

National Hurricane Center Director Rick Knabb said Hurricane Sandy's size means some coastal parts of New York and New Jersey may see water rise from 6 to 11 feet from surge and waves. The rest of the coast north of Virginia can expect 4 to 8 feet of surge.

The full moon Monday will add 2 to 3 inches to the storm surge in New York, Masters said.

"If the forecasts hold true in terms of the amount of rainfall and the amount of coastal flooding, that's going to be what drives up the losses and that's what's going to hurt," said Susan Cutter, director of the hazards and vulnerability research institute at the University of South Carolina.

Cutter said she worries about coastal infrastructure, especially the New York subways, which were shutting down Sunday night.

Klaus Jacob, a Columbia University researcher who has advised the city on coastal risks, said, "We have to prepare to the extent we can, but I'm afraid that from a subway point of view, I think it's beyond sheer preparations. I do not think that there's enough emergency measures that will help prevent the subway from flooding."

Knabb said millions of people may be harmed by inland flooding.

A NOAA map of inland and coastal flood watches covers practically the entire Northeast: all of Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut; most of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, and parts of northeastern Ohio, eastern Virginia, North Carolina, and western New Hampshire.

Along the mid-Atlantic coast, storm surge is already starting to build, Uccellini said. NOAA's Coastal Services Center chief Margaret Davidson said to expect "bodacious impacts" from both surge and inland flooding.

The surge ? in which water steadily increases from the ocean? will be worst in the areas north of where Sandy comes ashore.

New York will have the most intense storm surge if Sandy comes ashore anywhere in New Jersey, Uccellini said. Only if it arrives farther south, such as Delaware, will New York see a slightly, only slightly, smaller storm surge.

In general, areas to the south and west of landfall will get the heaviest of rains. Some areas of Delaware and the Maryland and Virginia peninsula will see a foot of rain over the several days the storm parks in the East, Uccellini said. The rest of the mid-Atlantic region may see closer to 4 to 8 inches, NOAA forecasts.

The good news about inland flooding is that the rivers and ground aren't as saturated as they were last year when Hurricane Irene struck, causing nearly $16 billion in damage, much of it from inland flooding in places like Vermont, Uccellini and Masters said.

The storm, which threatens roughly 50 million in the eastern third of the country, began as three systems. Two of those ? an Arctic blast from the north and a normal winter storm front with a low-pressure trough? have combined. Hurricane Sandy will meld with those once it comes ashore, creating a hybrid storm with some of the nastier characteristics of a hurricane and a nor'easter, experts have said.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? Strong sales of Galaxy phones propelled Samsung's quarterly profit to a record high, but its shares dropped Friday on the prospect its growth will slow in an increasingly crowded smartphone market.

Samsung Electronics Co. said July-September net profit nearly doubled to 6.56 trillion won ($5.97 billion) from 3.44 trillion won a year earlier. Revenue for the third quarter climbed 26 percent to 52.2 trillion won.

The company's shares fell 2 percent in Seoul after the earnings announcement. Analysts said investors are worried that the widespread adoption of smartphones in developed markets and heightened competition from rivals could squeeze profit from the lucrative smartphone business. Samsung and Apple Inc. together account for nearly half of global smartphone sales.

The South Korean company, which raked in more than half of its profit and revenue from its mobile communications business, said its Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II smartphones will help sustain its earnings momentum in the final quarter of the year.

Samsung also plans to act more aggressively to advance its share of the tablet PC market next year, its vice presidents Kim Hyun-joon and Robert Yi said at a conference call with investors.

"The tablet market is going through a very significant change," Yi, Samsung's head of investor relations, said at a conference call. The release of mini tablets that are between the size of smartphones and standard tablets could open up a new growth area next year, he said.

Apple, a leader in the tablet market, announced a smaller and cheaper iPad earlier this week, pitting its 7.9-inch iPad mini against small tablets from Amazon, Google and Samsung. Samsung launched the Galaxy Note II, a giant-sized smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen and a digital pen, in the U.S. market earlier this week.

A slew of PC makers including Samsung launched tablet and laptop computers based on Windows 8 on Friday, as Microsoft introduced a major update to its operating system, allowing it to work on tablets and desktop computers. However, Samsung's head of investor relations said it was not clear if these new products will spur a huge increase in demand.

Operating profit surged 91 percent to an all-time high of 8.12 trillion won ($7.4 billion) in the third quarter, in line with the company's preliminary results released earlier this month. Samsung is the world's largest maker of computer memory chips, mobile phones and TVs.

In the latest quarter, Samsung benefited from robust sales of its Galaxy smartphones as well as demand for high-end components for mobile devices, which offset weak global PC demand and a thin profit from its memory chip business.

Its mobile communications division that sells the Galaxy series of smartphones and tablet computers generated revenue of 26.3 trillion won.

Sales of the Galaxy S III smartphone topped 20 million handsets in little more than three months after its May 29 launch. Samsung said the Galaxy Note II, the latest iteration of the Note series, is expected to exceed the 10 million sales of its predecessor.

Research firm IDC said Samsung further widened its gap with runner-up Apple in the smartphone market. IDC said Samsung sold 56.3 million smartphones versus Apple's 26.9 million iPhone sales, capturing 31.3 percent of the global smartphone market in the third quarter.

Kim, a vice president of Samsung's mobile communications team, said the company's smartphone sales saw "a substantial shipment growth" in China. Samsung, which is the largest smartphone seller in China according to IDC, did not disclose figures.

High-end display panels called OLED, or organic light-emitting diode, which are used in mobile devices including Samsung's own smartphones, also shored up its bottom line, Samsung said.

With the latest result, Samsung set a record-high quarterly operating profit for a fourth quarter in a row. But some analysts are skeptical whether Samsung will post another increase in profit in the final quarter of this year due to higher marketing costs.

Samsung said it will try to increase profit even if it faces heightened competition during the holiday season. In addition to its Android-powered Galaxy series, Samsung plans to release ATIV series smartphones based on Windows 8, the latest version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, before the end of this year.

The patent disputes between Apple and Samsung linger as another negative factor for Samsung's fourth-quarter earnings, although Samsung has sufficient cash reserves and earnings to cushion any impact.

Samsung is trying to reverse the decision in August of a San Jose jury to fine it $1 billion over copying Apple's design and technology for the iPhone and the iPad. The U.S. judge's decision may be issued as early as December.

The penalty could triple if the judge finds Samsung's act of copying was willful. But recent developments surrounding the patent disputes between Samsung and Apple, such as the U.S. patent office's initial ruling earlier this month to invalidate one of Apple's patents, could also scale back the penalty.

Top 5 Tips For Facial Skin Care - Ayushveda

VN:F [1.9.20_1166]

Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)

Facial skin care is one of the most basic and significant parts of beauty care. A beautiful and glowing face can make your personality instantly dazzle up even when you are not wearing expensive clothes, jewellery or heavy make-up. On the other hand, a dull and lifeless face cannot look beautiful even when one is wearing best of clothes, jewellery and make-up.

Here, we present you basic face care tips which will help you in achieving that flawless and glowing facial skin.

Tips for Facial Skin Care

Never Sleep With Make-Up

Sleeping with makeup is one of the worst beauty crimes. Leaving make up on the face overnight can clog the skin pores and can trap the dead cells in the hair follicle leading to a dull and pimple prone complexion.

The chemicals of the make-up products create hindrance in rejuvenation and regeneration of fresh skin and make our skin look lifeless. The best bet for a beautiful face lies in cleansing, toning and moisturizing the skin daily before going to bed.

Use Sunscreen

You must have heard celebrities telling that if they were to be left isolated on an island they will carry a good sunscreen as the only beauty care product. Have you ever wondered why so? Let me tell you. It is because the harmful rays of sun make our skin look dull and lifeless.

It also leads to pigmentation on skin and formation of deep lines and wrinkles. To avoid such harmful effects on your skin in the later years of life, when we get really conscious about our skin, using a broad based sunscreen is the best prevention.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliation helps in removing dead skin cells and trapped makeup particles. Exfoliating regularly helps in surfacing the new skin cells and absorbing moisturizers properly. You can exfoliate once in a week during summers and once in ten days during winters.

Use a Face Pack Every Week

Use a face pack on your face every week. Face packs help in tightening the skin and making it smooth. Face packs should best be used immediately after exfoliation because exfoliation opens the skin pores and face pack helps them in closing down quickly.

You can choose a facial pack as per your skin type. If you have dry skin you can go for packs with milk and cream as its ingredients and if you have oily skin than packs with astringent agents like fuller?s earth, lemon juice, etc. will work best for you.

Drink Adequate Water

It may sound like a clich? but the fact is that drinking adequate water helps in flushing out toxins from the body and helps in keeping our skin hydrated from within. A well hydrated skin devoid of toxins dons the most youthful and radiant skin.

So, aim at drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. Along with these tips, pay attention on your diet and exercise regimen. Eat raw vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy products and lean proteins on daily basis for a glowing and youthful skin and include various exercises in your daily schedule for best results.

Australia's ANZ Banks posts record $5.9 B profit

SYDNEY (AP) ? One of Australia's largest banks, ANZ Banking Group Ltd., posted a 6 percent rise in full year profit to a record 5.7 billion Australian dollars ($5.9 billion) on Thursday as it grew earnings from its domestic and international operations.

The Melbourne-based bank also announced that its cash profit of AU$6 billion to the year to Sept. 30 was also up 6 percent from AU$5.7 billion in the previous year. The statutory and cash profits were records for the bank.

"Although the operating environment in 2013 looks more challenging with stronger headwinds in a number of areas, our unique growth strategy and the momentum we have in adapting to the new environment means we are well placed to deliver value and performance to shareholders in 2013," ANZ chief executive Mike Smith said in a statement.

The bank declared a final dividend of 79 AU cents per share, an increase of 4 percent from the previous year.

ANZ has the lowest reliance among major Australian banks on offshore markets to fund its lending, with 61 percent of its funding coming from customer deposits.

Australian banks proved resilient against the global economic downturn and remain among a handful of banks in the world to maintain a AA credit rating.

DNA's double stranded stretch: Models simulate what happens to DNA strands when stretched to the breaking point

ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2012) ? Theoretical physicists like to play with very unconventional toys. Manoel Manghi from Toulouse University in France and his colleagues have adopted a seemingly playful approach to examining what happens to a double stranded molecule of DNA when it is stretched to the breaking point, in a study about to be published in EPJ E.

Instead of using optical tweezers to stretch DNA as previously done in experimental settings, the authors focused on using a theoretical model to account for the structural deformations of DNA and determine how its mechanical characteristics could explain certain biological processes.

Over fifteen years ago, scientists discovered that DNA undergoes two structural transitions when pulled from both ends. The problem is that in experimental conditions these two transitions can overlap and can therefore be difficult to observe. Instead, Manghi and colleagues relied on a standard mathematical tool referred to as a 'coupled discrete wormlike chain-Ising model' to simulate DNA stretching and match experimental observations.

Thanks to their theoretical approach, the authors confirmed that after overcoming initial resistance to stretching, at a force of around 65 piconewtons (pN) in strength, the DNA stretches to almost twice its original length while also becoming less rigid. They also confirmed the other known structural transition occurring at around 135 pN. Although the critical forces of both transitions depend on the DNA sequence, they found it is the second one that most depends on it.

Beyond 135pN, DNA strands start peeling apart into single stranded DNAs that are similar to those obtained when DNA is heated up and undergoes thermal denaturation. This model thus bridges the gap between force-induced mechanical stretching and thermal denaturation and could potentially help understand how DNA performs its biological functions such as interaction with proteins and how it is packaged, say, in viruses.

Was It Racist for Palin to Accuse Obama of 'Shuck and Jive'?

Sarah Palin condemned President Obama's response to the attacks in Benghazi as a "shuck and jive shtick" in a note on her Facebook page Wednesday. This seemed so obviously overtly racist that?The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg tweeted, "Palin's use of 'shuck and jive' isn't an example of a racist dog-whistle because it's too obviously racist to be considered code." But when it came time for everyone to explain why it was racist, many struggled. (Mediabistro, for example, block quoted a section of the 2010 book??What Can You Say?: America?s National Conversation on Race,?which discussed the time Andrew Cuomo used the phrase. But that just listed two bloggers linking to two dictionary definitions, and one blogger linking to Yahoo Answers. So we at The Atlantic Wire thought we've give a brief primer on what shucking and jiving means and whether it's racist for white people to use the phrase to describe black people.

RELATED: Opinions On Race and Mormonism; Swing State Races Are Tight

1. It does come from black slang.

RELATED: The GOP Presidential Field Keeps an Even Lower Profile

The origin of "shuckin' and jivin'" according to?Explorations in the Ethnography of Speaking, published in 1989, is in shucking corn, and refers to using words and performance to decieve and manipulate. Some sources say it started in the slavery days, others say it's from jazz in the 1930s. But all say it started as black slang.

RELATED: Barbour's Exit and a GOP That Ducks Races About Race

2. It means lying.

RELATED: Race Takes Over the Race

For example, the Rev. Cecil Williams used it in a December 1970 article?in?The Black Scholar?titled,?"Black Folks Are Not for Sale." Williams wrote, "The church is shuckin' and jivin'. By shuckin' and jivin' I simply mean talking out of both sides of its mouth."

RELATED: What Do GOP Candidates Get Out of a Trump Photo-Op?

3. But it also means making yourself look subservient to authority figures.

In 1990's Ribbin', Jivin', and Playin' the Dozens:?The Persistent Dilemma in Our Schools,?Herbert L. Foster explains:

Shuckin' and jivin' is a verbal and physical technique some blacks use to avoid difficulty, to accommodate some authority figure, and in the extreme, to save a life or to save oneself from being beaten physically or psychologically. Gestures, facial expressions, speech pronunciation, and body poses are all used to provide the authority figure with the appearance deemed acceptable and subservient to placate him. Shuckin' and jivin' also often requires an ability to control and conceal one's true emotions.

4. And it does often refer to communication between blacks and whites.

Foster says jiving plays off the expectations of white people. He cites this passage from?Eldridge Cleaver's book Soul on Ice, when Cleaver is pulled over by a cop for running a red light.

'Say, Boy,' he said to me, 'are you color-blind?' I didn't want a ticket so I decided to talk him out of it. I went into my act, gave him a big smile and explained to him that I was awfully sorry, that I thought that I could make it but that my old car was too slow. He talked real bad to me, took me on a long trip about how important it was that I obeyed the laws and regulation and how else can a society be controlled and administered without obedience to the law. I said a bunch of Yes Sir's and he told me to run along and be a good boy.

And here's an example from the book Airtight Willie & Me by Iceberg Slim, the assumed name of Robert Beck, a former Chicago pimp whose books were turned into blaxploitation films: "I was having one bitch kitty of a time tuning out the interracial sewer mouth shucking and jiving and playing the 'dozens' from cell to cell on our tier."?

And here's an example from the Associated Press on April 3, 1987, when there was controversy in the South Carolina state senate over whether to accept invitations from segregated clubs. (Yes, I know: 1987!) State Sen. Kay Patterson, who is black, sponsored a controversial resolution to stop accepting those invites, and said, "Let's stop shucking and jiving. I brought you a simple resolution. All it says is that we will not accept invitations to any segregated clubs. What's so bad about that?" (State Sen. Charlie Powell, who was white, responded by referring to the Black Caucus and saying that if Patterson "would permit whites to join his club then I'll also vote to let blacks come join our clubs.")

And here is?The Washington Post on March 2, 1979, on the Harlem Globetrotters:

Beloved as the Trotters are, they persistently hear the charge -- muttered usually, occasionally printed -- that their whole act is pure?shucking and jiving,?Uncle Tomism, just another version of Amos 'n' Andy.

If the Trotters are not reinforcing invidious black stereotypes -- poor speech, bad grammar, shambling walk -- then why are crowds in New York and Washington more than 90 percent white?

5. White people do use it innocently.

White House press secretary James Carney?used it during a press conference?in September 2011, saying,?"Sorry. I'm going to shuck and jive! Time to shuck and jive" because he brought the wrong notebook. The Twitter handle?@shuckandjive?belongs to a Presbyterian minister named John Shuck, who also runs a blog at the url?ShuckandJive.org. He writes about wholesome things like "Autumn Leaves."

A lot of politicians who publicly use racist terms like this -- Michele?Bachmann once said Obama was "waving a tar baby in the air" with an energy proposal, for example? are often from really white places in the Midwest and Northwest and may be unaware that terms like "cakewalk"?have racial Southern roots. Maybe they don't really know the history? (When the former governor of Mississippi?favorably refers to White Citizens Councils, on the other hand, he has no such excuse.)

6. But whites have used it racially.

If you do not have any unenlightened relatives to give you an example of this, here are a couple:?The Miami Herald reported on April?4, 1991 that a Sarasota nightclub banned black people from coming in.?Roger Shaw, the co-owner, told the newspaper,?"We've found so many problems... We wound up with 30-40 people just?shucking and jiving?outside with no intention of coming in. They also viciously attacked people with regularity."?In 1990, the National Labor Relations Board banned a lawyer for a year when he accused the prosecutor, who was black, of "shucking and jiving," USA Today reported on August 6, 1997.

You can see why a term that often is used to mean black people showing insincere subservience to whites might sound bad when used by a white person to describe a black person.?(Think about how Bill White, the black All-Star first baseman who went on to become the president of the National League, can title his autobiography?Uppity, but that word sounds very different when used?by a white guy to refer to the first African-American First Lady of the United States.) Since Sarah Palin has no problem accusing people of lying, she should stick to a straightforward term like that next time.

Netflix Q3 2012 earnings: 2 million more streaming subscribers worldwide, $8 million net income

Netflix saw a return to profitability and more than half a million new US subscribers in the second quarter of this year, and it's now announced that it's added a full two million more streaming members worldwide for the third quarter. That brings the company's global base of streaming subscribers to 29 million, 25.1 million of which are in the US. It's also announced another bump in profits to $8 million in net income, with global revenue of $905 million. It's unsurprisingly a different story when it comes to DVD subscriptions in the US, however, with the company reporting a drop from 9.24 million total subscribers in Q2 to 8.61 million in Q3.

In terms of usage, Netflix says that its streaming members have now consumed over three billion hours of content, and that TV shows now account for about two thirds of that viewing activity. The company has also reiterated its commitment to original programming in its letter to shareholders, although it notes that commitment comes with some front-loaded expenses that will result in negative free cash flow for the next "several quarters" beginning with Q4. The company further adds that it believes "investment in originals is wise, and we will evaluate the performance of the slate next year to determine at what level we should fund additional original." You can find the full letter and all the numbers at the source link below.

Report: Most women need Paps every 3 or 5 years

Most women can wait three to five years between checks for cervical cancer, depending on their age and test choice, say guidelines issued Monday.

Many medical groups have long recommended a Pap test every three years for most women. The new advice from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that's true for women ages 21 to 29 whose Paps show no sign of trouble.

But for healthy women ages 30 to 65, the preferred check is a Pap plus a test for the cancer-causing HPV virus, the group concluded. If both show everything's fine, they can wait five years for further screening.

The guidelines from the nation's largest OB-GYN organization agree with advice issued earlier this year by a government panel, the American Cancer Society and other medical groups ? showing growing consensus that it's safe for the right women to wait longer between Paps.

Cervical cancer grows so slowly that regular Pap smears, which examine cells scraped from the cervix, can find signs early enough to treat before a tumor even forms.

Certain strains of HPV, the human papillomavirus, cause most cervical cancer, but the infection has to persist for a number of years to do its damage. HPV is a super-common virus in young women, whose bodies usually clear the infection on their own. Thus, health groups don't recommend routinely testing 20-somethings for HPV because it would cause too many false alarms.

A Pap averages around $40; HPV tests can add another $50 to $100.

The guidelines also say:

?Women 30 and older still can choose a Pap alone every three years.

?Screening shouldn't begin before age 21.

?Women over 65 can end screening if prior testing hasn't found problems.

Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often used as therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), patient compliance with CPAP remains an issue. However, new research presented at CHEST 2012, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians, shows that patients who meet with a respiratory therapist for a total of 2.5 hours within 30 days of initiating CPAP had significant compliance after 1 month of therapy. Researchers from Kaiser Permanente retrospectively reviewed the charts of 39 patients with OSA who were treated with CPAP and on a portable compliance-monitoring device. Patient/therapist contact time included a total of three sessions, each with one-on-one contact time, totaling 150 min. On day 30, a 30-min CPAP compliance evaluation review was conducted, and data was downloaded from patients' CPAP equipment. Results showed a 75% CPAP compliance rate after 30 days.
