Previous: Hello Input System, Next: Hello Animation
The term Material includes everything that influences what the surface of a 3D model looks like: The color, texture, shininess, and opacity/transparency. Plain coloring is covered in Hello Node. Loading models that come with materials is covered in Hello Asset. In this tutorial you learn to create and use custom JME3 Material Definitions.

Move around with the WASD keys to have a closer look at the translucency, and the rock's bumpiness.
Typically you want to give objects in your scene textures: It can be rock, grass, brick, wood, water, metal, paper… A texture is a normal image file in JPG or PNG format. In this example, you create a box with a simple unshaded Monkey texture as material.
/** A simple textured cube. */ Box(new Vector3f(-3f,1.1f,0f), 1f,1f,1f); Geometry cube = new Geometry("My Textured Box", boxshape1); Material mat_stl = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md"); Texture tex_ml = assetManager.loadTexture("Interface/Logo/Monkey.jpg"); mat_stl.setTexture("ColorMap", tex_ml); cube.setMaterial(mat_stl); rootNode.attachChild(cube);
Here is what we did:
cube
.Unshaded.j3md
material definition.Monkey.jpg
file and load it into the material.
Monkey.png
is the same texture as Monkey.jpg
, but with an added alpha channel. The alpha channel allows you to specify which areas of the texture you want to be opaque or transparent: Black areas remain opaque, gray areas become translucent, and white areas become transparent.
For a partially translucent/transparent texture, you need:
BlendMode.Alpha
Bucket.Transparent
render bucket. This bucket ensures that the translucent object is drawn on top of objects behind it, and they show up correctly under the translucent parts. (For non-translucent objects the drawing order is not so important, because the z-buffer keeps track of whether a pixel is behind something else or not, and the color of a pixel doesn't depend on the pixels under it, this is why opaque Geometries can be drawn in any order.)/** A translucent/transparent texture. */ Box(new Vector3f(0f,0f,0f), 1f,1f,0.01f); Geometry seethrough = new Geometry("see-through box", boxshape3); Material mat_tt = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md"); mat_tt.setTexture("ColorMap", assetManager.loadTexture("Textures/ColoredTex/Monkey.png")); mat_tt.getAdditionalRenderState().setBlendMode(BlendMode.Alpha); // activate transparency seethrough.setMaterial(mat_tt); seethrough.setQueueBucket(Bucket.Transparent); rootNode.attachChild(seethrough);
What you did is the same as before, with only one added step for the transparency.
Unshaded.j3md
material definition.Monkey.png
file and load it into the material. Bucket.Transparent
.Tip: Learn more about creating PNG images with an alpha layer in the help system of your graphic editor.
But textures are not all. Have a close look at the shiny sphere – you cannot get such a nice bumpy material with just a texture. JME3 also supports so-called Phong-illuminated materials:
In a lit material, the standard texture layer is refered to as Diffuse Map, any material can use this layer. A lit material can additionally have lighting effects such as Shininess used together with the Specular Map layer, and even a realistically bumpy or cracked surface with help of the Normal Map layer.
Let's have a look at the part of the code example where you create the shiny bumpy rock.
Sphere rock = new Sphere(32,32, 2f); Geometry shiny_rock = new Geometry("Shiny rock", rock);
rock.setTextureMode(Sphere.TextureMode.Projected);
TangentBinormalGenerator.generate(rock);
Lighting.j3md
default material.Material mat_lit = new Material(assetManager, "Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.j3md");
DiffuseMap
layer. mat_lit.setTexture("DiffuseMap", assetManager.loadTexture( "Textures/Terrain/Pond/Pond.jpg"));
NormalMap
layer that contains the bumpiness. The NormalMap was generated for this particular DiffuseMap with a special tool (e.g. Blender). mat_lit.setTexture("NormalMap", assetManager.loadTexture( "Textures/Terrain/Pond/Pond_normal.png"));
mat_lit.setFloat("Shininess", 5f); // [1,128]
shiny_rock.setMaterial(mat_lit);
shiny_rock.setLocalTranslation(0,2,-2); // Move it a bit shiny_rock.rotate(1.6f, 0, 0); // Rotate it a bit rootNode.attachChild(shiny_rock);
Remember that any Lighting.j3md-based material requires a light source, as shown in the full code sample above.
Tip: To deactivate Shininess, do not set Shininess
to 0, but instead set the Specular
color to ColorRGBA.Black
.
As you have seen, you can find the following default materials in jme/core-data/Common/…
.
| Default Definition | Usage | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md | Colored: Use with mat.setColor() and ColorRGBA. Textured: Use with mat.setTexture() and Texture. | Color : Color ColorMap : Texture2D |
Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.j3md | Use with shiny Textures, Bump- and NormalMaps textures. Requires a light source. | Ambient, Diffuse, Specular : Color DiffuseMap, NormalMap, SpecularMap : Texture2D Shininess : Float |
For a game, you create custom Materials based on these existing MaterialDefintions – as you have just seen in the example with the shiny rock's material.
Look at the purple leak-through sample above again. It takes four lines to create and set the Material.
Unshaded.j3md
Material definition.Color
parameter to purple (new ColorRGBA(1f,0f,1f,1f)
).ColorMap
to a texture path.If you want to use one custom material for several models, you can store it in a .j3m file, and save a few lines of code every time. You create a j3m file as follows:
assets/Materials/LeakThrough.j3m
with the following content:Material Leak Through : Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md { MaterialParameters { Color : 1 0 1 1 ColorMap : Textures/ColoredTex/Monkey.png } }
Material
is a fixed keyword.Leak Through
is a String that you can choose to name the material.mat_tl
in them.cube_leak.setMaterial((Material) assetManager.loadAsset( "Materials/LeakThrough.j3m"));
Using this new custom material LeakThrough.j3m
only takes one line. You have replaced the three lines of an on-the-fly material definition with one line that loads a custom material from a file. This method is very handy if you use the same material often.
Go back to the bumpy rock sample above:
You have learned how to create a Material, specify its properties, and use it on a Geometry. You know how to load an image file (.png, .jpg) as texture into a material. You know to save texture files in a subfolder of your project's assets/Textures/
directory.
You have also learned that a material can be stored in a .j3m file. The file references a built-in MaterialDefinition and specifies values for properties of that MaterialDefinition. You know to save your custom .j3m files in your project's assets/Materials/
directory.
Now that you know how to load models and how to assign good-looking materials to them, let's have a look at how to animate models in the next chapter, Hello Animation.

Money Play. How should Red play 43?
pips Red=79 White=66
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
This is a poor roll for Red, but he must make the best of it. He can play it safely with 15/11, 4/1 but the resulting structure is very poor for the bear-off.
Over the board 7/4, 7/3 was played but that play leaves 14 shots. Red does better in terms of shots and in racing structure with 15/8, leaving only 11 shots. After all, nine of White’s rolls next turn leave him unable to move the checker on Red’s 5-pt and then Red will be better place to attack the blot if he has played 15/8.
Any other move is a blunder.

My friend drank a 'capful' of GBL - an amount he had done before with no problems - as I drove him to a club where we were going he told me he was 'really starting to feel it' and then IMMEDIATELY became incoherent. It happened so quickly I honestly thought he was messing around with me - until he started drooling on himself. He did not respond to my voice - so I stopped the car and an ambulence was called - he vomited twice in my car not knowing what was going on at all - during the next 10 minutes his seizure remained but he started moving less and less - like he was passing out.
The ambulence arrived quickly - they pumped his stomach - and intubated him because he was vomiting too much to keep his own safe airway. At the hospital, to stop the seizure, they had to give him medication which shut down his nervous system, as a result he was put on a machine that breathed for him.
He stabilized a few hours later and is supposed to be ok - but he will have pnemonia (from the vomit that accumulated in his lungs) and we still don't know if he had any oxygen deprivation from the seizure (apparantly that can happen).
This is what can happen - it was quick - so quick that I didn't think it was really happening in the beginning - if you see this - CALL AN AMBULENCE - do not let the person try to 'vomit and then pass out' - if seizures start you HAVE to intervene. You have a very VERY short window of time - do not weigh the pros and cons of reporting it.
The police did not aggressively pursue us - due to the fact that there was nothing in our car and no one else was messed up - I am only sharing this because I want people to know that they SHOULD NOT be afraid to call an ambulence - as long as you don't have GBL lying around (or anything else) then you won't get in trouble - and he didn't get in any trouble also - so don't worry the cops will bust your overdosed friend.
Lastly - this was an amount he had done before - understand that - he wasn't going out of this world with overdosages - he had done it before, but this time there was a violent reaction. This isn't Ectasy - you don't build up a tolerance. He didn't.
Read this - know how to respond in case of emergency.

My previous experiences with mushrooms were from very low-potent ones so I would consider this report a 'first-timer's' report. The only effects that I had in my two earlier mushrooms sessions were feeling a bit giggly and restless, and that could've easily been a placebo effect, which is absolutely nothing compared to this one.
To start off I'd just like to introduce myself briefly so readers can get a somewhat view of my mindset and background. I'm a 21 year old college student with no prior experiences in psychedelics but I have experimented different states of mind (meditation) so I believe myself to have a more flexible mind than the average person. I would also consider myself being not more than 'normally neurotic' so trying a psychedelic felt like something that I could handle. Ok, let's begin.
Me and my tripping buddy (named A from now on) had gotten just above 2 grams (dried) each earlier this day but they were different mushrooms, I can't tell which kinds they were but my 2 grams were said to be 'stronger'. We were on an outdoor party and I was excited about taking them but in the back of my mind I believe there was a slight anxiety. I wanted to take them during the day because of a more 'lightful' experience, but we ended up taking them at sunset. We both sat down on the grass and started chewing them. My buddy, who had taken mushrooms several times before, wasn't very patient and swallowed them fast. I chewed mine slowly and really sucked on it to get a more intense experience. I also had them on an empty stomach. I had tasted mushrooms twice before and it was the same old earthy not-so-good taste that I could handle quite well by now, allowing me to really chew on them for a long time. After finishing them I drank some water to get the taste out of my mouth.
15 - 30 min: I start feeling a bit weird quite fast. Must've been the empty stomach and careful chewing. I ask A how he feels and he says 'Ok, nothing yet'. We both lay down on the ground and I can see some thin patterns float on the sky. Colors are slightly more intense now. When lights (car lights and lamps) pass my visual field they linger for a few seconds before fading away.
30 - 45 min: We're now walking around in nature and I feel bouncy. We stop at some bushes to take a piss and when we're done I look at A. His head is slightly distorted and all edges of it are very sharp. When we walk towards the dancefloor a red energy flows past my feet and I stop immediately to have a look at it. It looks like a reddish barely visible transparent river flowing through my feet. My more experienced tripping buddy is starting to feel giggly now.
45 - 60 min: We arrive at the dance floor and there is a bombardment of the senses. Lights, sounds, people laughing and dancing. After around 10 minutes of dancing I start to trip more intensely. The lighting and sound is really fascinating and people are more goblin like. I hear a lot of laughter that sounds really bizarre, sort of like a mad witch or those stereotypical mental patient laughters. It's quite scary so I walk away from the dance floor and sit down to take a few deep breaths, A joins me. The whole experience is quite weird but I let go of the fear and everything becomes more 'happy'. The light show is very beautiful and the trees look almost like human brains. Visuals are getting more intense
60 - 80 min: We decide to go away from the music. Standing up after sitting down for a while is really hard and I feel like 250 pounds. The visuals are so overwhelming (one of many things I see is people are 'breaking down' to pieces) and the air feels so thick I can barely walk.  It's not scary though, just genuinely weird and quite interesting. My friend A is laughing almost constantly but I'm having trouble laughing. For me the experience is more 'interesting' than funny, so I walk around with either a smile on my face or gaping open-mouthed with excitement.
80 - 250 min, I can't accurately describe the timing information for the next 3 hours or so because of some heavy time-dilation so this is a brief summary of the next 3 hours:
After walking around for maybe 10 minutes I just have to lay down, I see so many things that I can't safely move around in this physical world. My friend stays up and walks around enjoying the visuals while keeping an eye on me laying on the ground. This is where I really start loosing grip of time. It feels like an eternity but according to a photo my friend took and estimates of the onset this episode is around 3 hours.
I stare at the sky and it's exploding with spiraling colorful fractals. I feel a totally amazing connection with the universe, I start to grasp its infinity and how small we really are. When I close my eyes I travel into another dimension. I feel sort of merged with my new dimension and there is no way how this can be described in words. The experience is so profound and enormous that I start to loose myself. I can't understand what I'm doing and I'm starting to feel dizzy. My mind is thinking along the lines of 'This is the answer to everything. Am I now stuck in an infinite space? How will I ever come back to reality?'. I start having negative thoughts and my mind is caught in a loop, 'Am I going mad?'.
 I can barely stand up but when I do I get an enormous energy boost and I can now easily run. I run on a nearby field with my arms spread feeling like a bird traveling at very high speed. The earlier full-blown, totally dominating open-eye visuals are more toned down now and I can see things that actually are there in real life, making me comfortable running. The hallucinations are still very strong though, with a fire red sky and exploding firework-like effects around me.
250 - 350 min: I'm not sure what happens next but my friend A leaves me and I lay down to rest. I'm quite far away from any light source now so it's very dark. I close my eyes and there is some really scary laughter going on. I get stuck in another mind loop where I start wondering who I am. I'm not really sure about the answer and I feel very empty and dizzy. I struggle hard to break this line of thought and after around an hour I open my eyes and slowly sit up. I'm not totally sure about this part of the journey, it feels like a black hole to me.
 Now it's pretty much like usual except an accompanied weird feeling. Memories of who I am start coming back but I'm not sure my friend A actually exists. Eventually I meet him and we have sit down and have a chat about what happened.
All in all this was a mind-blowing experience and yes it's been said before but you really really need to have respect for psychedelic drugs. I thought I was prepared but this was far more intense than I could imagine. The dose was also a bit too strong for a first-timer so make sure you are aware of the dose, especially if you're quite light-weight like me. I should've started with around 1 grams, and not +2g. But I don't regret taking the mushrooms, just feeling a bit remorseful about taking such a strong dose for a first time. Despite some bad and frightening moments I still think I can learn something from them, and the spacey part of the trip will definately be an enjoyable memory for life.

BlockShow
‘Don't Leave Your Coins In Exchanges,’ Says Crypto Entrepreneur Who Lost All His Assets
by Gabriel RubinsteinnSpeaking today at BlockShow Asia 2019, Genesis Block HK co-founder Clement Ip shared a negative personal experience during a panel on how Asian trading firms make profits. His company is a blockchain venture capital firm, crypto quant hedge fund, and mining company focused on investing in blockchain projects.
Sharing the stage with two other speakers — Kyle Davies of Three Arrows Capital and Joshua Ho of QCP Capital — Ip came out with his sad story. He said he lost "a lot of coins" due to an exchange hack, and his takeaway lesson was clear:
"Don't leave your assets on exchanges. Don’t be lazy. I've been into it and learned a good lesson.”
During the same panel, Davies and Ho also discussed crypto regulation in Asia, how it might affect the market, and how it will affect the crypto ecosystem at large. "Regulation in Asia has been a move in the right direction so far," said Davies.
Exchange hacking is nothing new to the crypto ecosystem. Some of the biggest companies in the space have faced issues here this year, including market leader Binance.


Introduction
JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. It is a small and lightweight language. Inside a host environment (for example, a web browser), JavaScript can be connected to the objects of its environment to provide programmatic control over them.
if (x = y) { /* statements here */ }
JavaScript contains a standard library of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. Core JavaScript can be extended for a variety of purposes by supplementing it with additional objects; for example:
- Client-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects to control a browser and its Document Object Model (DOM). For example, client-side extensions allow an application to place elements on an HTML form and respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page navigation.
- Server-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects relevant to running JavaScript on a server. For example, server-side extensions allow an application to communicate with a database, provide continuity of information from one invocation to another of the application, or perform file manipulations on a server.
What you should already know?
This guide assumes you have the following basic background:
function square(number) { return number * number; }
Global variables are in fact properties of the global object. In web pages the global object is window, so you can set and access global variables using the window.variable syntax.
- A general understanding of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).
- Good working knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
JavaScript and Java
JavaScript and Java are similar in some ways but fundamentally different in some others. The JavaScript language resembles Java but does not have Java's static typing and strong type checking. JavaScript follows most Java expression syntax, naming conventions and basic control-flow constructs which was the reason why it was renamed from LiveScript to JavaScript.
const PI = 3.14;
JavaScript is a very free-form language compared to Java. You do not have to declare all variables, classes, and methods. You do not have to be concerned with whether methods are public, private, or protected, and you do not have to implement interfaces. Variables, parameters, and function return types are not explicitly typed.
- Boolean. true and false.
- undefined. A top-level property whose value is undefined.
Hello World
To get started with writing JavaScript, open the Scratchpad and write your first "Hello world" JavaScript code:
function greetMe(yourName) { alert("Hello " + yourName); }
greetMe("World");
Select the code in the pad and hit Ctrl+R to watch it unfold in your browser!
- Number. 42 or 3.14159.
- String. "Howdy"
Variables
You use variables as symbolic names for values in your application. The names of variables, called identifiers, conform to certain rules.
if (true) { var x = 5; } console.log(x); // 5
- null. A special keyword denoting a null value. Because JavaScript is case-sensitive, null is not the same as Null, NULL, or any other variant.
- Symbol (new in ECMAScript 2015). A data type whose instances are unique and immutable.

This plugin is part of a research prototype developed to experiment with the technique presented in the paper Tool-supported refactoring for JavaScript published at OOPSLA'11. It is not ready for production use.
Currently, the integration with Eclipse has some noteworthy limitations:
- It does not work on JavaScript embedded in HTML files.
- It does not refactor multiple files. All your JavaScript code is assumed to be in the same file.
- The warnings produced by the tool are not always that helpful.
The underlying framework imposes other drawbacks that you should be aware of:
- Dead code is ignored. You may be surprised if you try to refactor a half-complete program.
- And therefore, it does not work well on library code.
- If your code is very complex, the underlying pointer analysis may take a long time and/or use lots of memory.
To try the plugin, follow these instructions:
- Read the limitations above and understand that is not for production use.
- Add this update site to Eclipse: http://cs.au.dk/~jhckragh/update/
- Install the plugin available from the update site. It may take a long time for Eclipse to resolve its dependencies.
- Open a JavaScript file in Eclipse's JavaScript editor.
- These three refactorings should now be available from the menu called "Refactoring":
- Rename property (do not confuse with the existing refactoring simply called rename)
- Encapsulate property
- Extract module
At the time of writing, the refactorings are not available in the right-click menu, nor do they have shortcuts.

Mel Gibson's latest action vehicle is PAYBACK (* ½), a terribly violent, terribly choppy film that's, well, just plain terrible. Armed with the expectation of seeing Gibson in the rare role of a bad guy, viewers will instead find every other character so unimaginatively despicable that Gibson will still emerge smelling like a rose. But more on that later. First, a little history…
Payback was actually filmed a while ago by first-time director Brian Helgeland, last year's Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay (L.A. Confidential) and the writer of Gibson's 1997 action blockbuster Conspiracy Theory. Reportedly, Gibson was so unhappy with the finished product that he convinced the studio to jettison Helgeland out of the editing room, leaving Gibson to make the final cut himself. Now, mind you, this shouldn't be like Jean-Claude Van Damme suddenly gaining control of a film – Gibson is, after all, an Oscar-winning director (Braveheart). But sadly, it is.
Gibson plays Porter, an ex-Marine turned hoodlum that has just scored $70,000 by robbing a Chinese money-laundering syndicate. His heroin-addicted wife (Deborah Kara Unger, The Game) double-crosses him after the heist, leaving Porter with two ugly bullet holes in his back while Porter's pilfering partner makes off with all of the loot, planning to use it to join a mysterious group called `The Outfit.'
In order to get his $70,000 back, Porter starts at the bottom of the crime world (David Paymer) and works his way to the head of The Outfit (Kris Kristofferson), meeting many zany characters along the way.  The only other female in Payback is an Asian hooker with a specialty in sadomasochism. So, for those of you women keeping track at home, that's two whores and a junkie. And the three of them are routinely beaten by whichever male character happens to be in the scene with them. Hey, you've come a long way, baby!
Early into the picture, in one of the only pleasing scenes, we see a beat-up and penniless Porter stealing $3 from a panhandler and parlaying it into a new suit, a new gun and several hundred dollars by simply pick-pocketing and leaving lousy tips. The film is also accented by Porter's sporadic, gravel-voiced narrations that seem haphazardly thrown in just to make the awkward scenes blend together better. There are also several scenes that run out of sequence; again, probably due to Gibson's attempt to salvage his project. For his $20 million fee, he could have offered to do a lot more.
As an added bonus, every frame of Payback seems to be bathed in blue light. You may have seen the style before in television commercials or your favorite music videos. I have no idea what this means. Is it a metaphor for the cheerless downcasts that the film portrays? Or is it symbolic of its crude, distasteful content? Maybe cinematographer (Ericson Core, 187) just likes the color blue. It would have been better served if used just for the flashback scenes. Or not at all.
Helgeland also co-wrote the bland script with Terry Hayes, who scripted Gibson's last two Mad Max films. It was based on Donald E. Westlake's novel `The Hunter' which he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Stark. Helgeland and Hayes should have used pseudonyms as well. Their story is as boring as it is formulaic, and its unnecessary graphic violence and obscenity-laced dialogue often induced my fellow viewers into uncomfortable laughter and, I swear to God, audible wincing.
Payback and Gibson's Porter are best summed up by the genius that sat behind me, who, in one particularly ridiculous scene, exclaimed, `Man, he's whack!' Whack, indeed.
Payback (1:44) is rated R for graphic violence and lewd language

Gen. 1:26-28 | Again God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
Wis. 2/23 - For God created us for incorruption, and made us in the image of his own eternity, but through the devil's envy death entered the world, and those who belong to his company experience it.

The law of God has disappeared from the priests, and advice from the elders (Ez. 7/26). Since they have forsaken the Divine Wisdom, the gates of hell have prevailed against them and thus their teachings have caused scandals to many people. The anointed ones in these churches have been made wretched and holyliars in front of the whole world today. This is a great sign of the end times.
Mal. 2:7-9 -"For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. "But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi," says the LORD of hosts. "So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways, but are showing partiality in the instruction.
If they teach that a Christian should not conform to the world (Rom. 12/2), then they cannot build up a Babel culture or please the people. So they conveniently hide such Words of God through their interpretations which is actually satan’s euphemism for the rejection of the Word of God. If they teach that there is an end of ages (2 Pet. 3/10-13), then they have to prepare the people of God for that, and have to show good examples themselves.
They forget their solemn mission to prepare a community that awaits God the Father and the Son of God. To hide the true citizenship of the children of God in Heaven (Phil. 3/20) they are busy building cities and empires on this earth. They teach another gospel (Gal. 1/6-8) by insisting that the meaning of the Word of God is not what is written in the Holy Bible and to grasp the meaning one should study history, geography, anthropology, linguistics, literary criticism and philosophy.
Thus they have anaesthetized people using the poison called theology and church teachings. Thus, since they have committed the terrible sin of portraying God as a liar, the wrath of God is burning against them.  On the root of the tree which God Himself once called the beautiful green olive tree, fair and fruitful (Jer. 11/15), He Himself has placed the axe (Mt. 3/10).
By forsaking the holy tradition of the Early Church, that the Apostles held high, today churches teach that the Early Church made mistakes.  When the peace of God is not there, they see visions of peace (Ez. 13/16). God the Father expected good grapes from His vineyard, but since it produced wild grapes, He is lamenting (Is. 5/1-7)
God the Father is weeping because His shepherds have scattered the sheep and have sold them to slavery and destruction (Jer.13:17). It was to make people realize this great sorrow of God the Father, that the Holy Mother shed tears of blood in many parts of the world till 2002. But the people of God rejected this call to repentance. Each one is insulting God the Father more and more by following the desires of his own hardened heart.
Though Jesus Christ led the people of God from the slavery of darkness to the spiritual freedom 2000 years ago, they went back again to darkness. Since the people of God went astray from seeking God to seeking worldly pleasures, they fell into the trap of the Babel culture and were chained to the kingdom of this world. With the last 2000 years, the world has reached the zenith of worldly pleasures. Through many cultures, peoples, generations and movements people carved new paths for them, but none of them found out the way to God the Father; they didn’t seek the way of the Divine Wisdom (Eccl. 8/5).
The stork in the sky, the dove and the swallow who are mere creations of God the Father know the time for them to return. But man, the crown of creation, did not do so though it is high time they did so. God the Father feels very sad about it. The people of God rebelled against God the Father with an unceasing stubbornness. They who lust after deception, do not prefer to come back.
Isaiah 1:2-3 |- Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth; For the LORD speaks, "Sons I have reared and brought up, But they have revolted against Me. "An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master's manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand."

Wow!! Apparently sugar has been found to decrease blood levels of testosterone by as much as 25% in perfectly healthy men. Could this explain why obese men get moobs?

When deleting XPages watch your form property "Display XPage instead"
During the XPages training in Manila we found an interesting behaviour of the "Display XPage instead" property of a form. To reproduce this follow these steps:
- Create a form
form1
- Create an XPage
test1.xsp
- Set the form property "Display XPage instead" (both for Client and web) to
test1.xsp
- Preview
form1
in Notes client and web - works as designed,test1.xsp
will show. - Now delete
test1.xsp
- Preview
form1
in Notes client and web - it will show an error - Inspect the "Display XPage instead" property of
form1
: it will show empty since test1.xsp is no longer a selectable item, However that value is still stored in the form (we didn't touch it at this point) - Open the
form1
as DXL. At the end of the form you will find:<item name='$XPageAlt'><text>test1.xsp </text></item>
<item name='$XPageAltClient'><text>test1.xsp </text></item> - To fix this: Either delete the lines in DXL (if you dare ) - or: in the form property "Display XPage instead" select any other XPage (optional) and then the empty item on top and save the form. Just open and save the form doesn't do the trick, you have to touch the form property

@charlesk40 Let me try to understand whats going on later.. BTW, could you upgrade to netty 3.4.5.Final and see if you still see this ? Just to be sure we not fixed it..
@charlesk40 I tried to reproduce it via testcase but did not work.
Can you see if I did it the right way:
4bf2257
Okay so by sending bad SSL request to a SSL enabled Server does close the Channel.
However, sending a good SSL request to a SSL enable Server with IdleStateHandler enabled cause this state.
(Triggering a timeout)
Trying to reproduce this with a testcase but no luck either.
However, I was able to locate where it might be causing the problem for Channel to NOT close in the SslHandler:
write(ctx, future, msg) method inside of an wrapNonAppData called from closeOutboundAndChannel method could fail to set the future to completed which may cause ClosingChannelFutureListener to NOT close the channel properly. I'm unable to reproduce this with an unit test but can cause it by using curl to send https request.
private ChannelFuture wrapNonAppData(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Channel channel) throws SSLException {
ChannelFuture future = null;
ByteBuffer outNetBuf = bufferPool.acquire();
SSLEngineResult result;
try {
for (;;) {
synchronized (handshakeLock) {
result = engine.wrap(EMPTY_BUFFER, outNetBuf);
}
if (result.bytesProduced() > 0) {
outNetBuf.flip();
ChannelBuffer msg = ChannelBuffers.buffer(outNetBuf.remaining());
msg.writeBytes(outNetBuf.array(), 0, msg.capacity());
outNetBuf.clear();
future = future(channel);
future.addListener(new ChannelFutureListener() {
public void operationComplete(ChannelFuture future)
throws Exception {
if (future.getCause() instanceof ClosedChannelException) {
synchronized (ignoreClosedChannelExceptionLock) {
ignoreClosedChannelException ++;
}
}
}
});
write(ctx, future, msg);
}
final HandshakeStatus handshakeStatus = result.getHandshakeStatus();
handleRenegotiation(handshakeStatus);
switch (handshakeStatus) {
case FINISHED:
setHandshakeSuccess(channel);
runDelegatedTasks();
break;
case NEED_TASK:
runDelegatedTasks();
break;
case NEED_UNWRAP:
if (!Thread.holdsLock(handshakeLock)) {
// unwrap shouldn't be called when this method was
// called by unwrap - unwrap will keep running after
// this method returns.
unwrap(ctx, channel, ChannelBuffers.EMPTY_BUFFER, 0, 0);
}
break;
case NOT_HANDSHAKING:
case NEED_WRAP:
break;
default:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Unexpected handshake status: " + handshakeStatus);
}
if (result.bytesProduced() == 0) {
break;
}
}
} catch (SSLException e) {
setHandshakeFailure(channel, e);
throw e;
} finally {
bufferPool.release(outNetBuf);
}
if (future == null) {
future = succeededFuture(channel);
}
return future;
}
@charlesk40 Can you show me how you can reproduce via curl ?
@charlesk40 also I think the code is correct as it will send the event upstream if it could not add the future and so it should be closed.
I'm just using "cacert" option in curl to send using self-signed certicate. Example: curl -v --cacert outcert.pem https://localhost:8081/echo?sleep=1000 to send a request.
You mean it will send a downstream event.
Further tracing through the code, it shows that when write(ctx, future, msg);
gets invoked, it gets to the NioWorker thread which schedules for the write and marks future to completed. But "write" never happens (Don't know why at this moment. Still needs to investigate) and we never get notified which is causing the hang.
So, now the question is do I need to add a downstream handler when SslHandler invokes write(ctx, future, msg); to handle the event? (Like I have done with closing the channel myself from my first comment)
@charlesk40 to make it more easy can you upload your server code somewhere so I can just run it and use curl ?
Below is a unit test that you can use to reproduce the issue. Just replace the code that generates the SSLContext.
public class SslCloseTestCase {
@Test
public void requireThatServerCanCloseToSslIdleRequestTestCaseForNetty() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
HashedWheelTimer idleTimer = new HashedWheelTimer();
ServerBootstrap sb = new ServerBootstrap(new NioServerSocketChannelFactory());
Executor channelWorkerExecutor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(Executors.defaultThreadFactory());
SslKeyStore sslKeyStore = new SslKeyStore("src/test/resources/ssl_keystore_test.jks");
sslKeyStore.setKeyStorePassword("secret");
SSLContext sslContext = SslContextFactory.newInstance(sslKeyStore, sslKeyStore).getServerSSLContext();
SSLEngine sse = sslContext.createSSLEngine();
sse.setUseClientMode(false);
sb.getPipeline().addFirst("ssl", new SslHandler(sse));
sb.getPipeline().addLast("idler",new IdleStateHandler(idleTimer, 0, 0, 40)); //Setting the idle timeout to 40 seconds.
TestIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler testIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler = new TestIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler();
sb.getPipeline().addLast("handler", testIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler);
channelWorkerExecutor.execute(testIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler);
Channel serverChannel = sb.bind(new InetSocketAddress(0));
//Client
ClientBootstrap cb = new ClientBootstrap(new NioClientSocketChannelFactory());
SslKeyStore sslKeyStoreClient = new SslKeyStore("src/test/resources/ssl_keystore_test.jks");
sslKeyStoreClient.setKeyStorePassword("secret");
SSLContext sslContextClient = SslContextFactory.newInstanceFromTrustStore(sslKeyStoreClient).getServerSSLContext();
SSLEngine sseClient = sslContextClient.createSSLEngine();
sseClient.setUseClientMode(true);
cb.getPipeline().addLast("ssl", new SslHandler(sseClient));
Channel cc = cb.connect(serverChannel.getLocalAddress()).awaitUninterruptibly().getChannel();
ChannelFuture f = cc.write(ChannelBuffers.copiedBuffer("encrypted", CharsetUtil.US_ASCII));
f.await();
cc.getCloseFuture().awaitUninterruptibly();
cb.releaseExternalResources();
sb.releaseExternalResources();
}
class TestIdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler extends IdleStateAwareChannelUpstreamHandler implements Runnable {
private volatile Channel serverChannel;
private boolean readyToClose;
@Override
public void channelConnected(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent e) throws Exception {
// Called by Netty thread.
if (serverChannel != null) {
throw new IllegalStateException();
}
serverChannel = ctx.getChannel();
}
@Override
public void messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) {
testIt(true);
}
private void testIt(boolean fail){
SleepHandler sleepHandler = new SleepHandler();
if (fail){
//Same thread. This LOCKS f.awaitUninterruptibly!!!
sleepHandler.run();
}else{
//New thread. Passes.
Executor executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(Executors.defaultThreadFactory());
executor.execute(sleepHandler);
}
}
@Override
public void channelIdle(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, IdleStateEvent e) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Close channel");
readyToClose = true;
}
@Override
public void run() {
while(true){
if (readyToClose){
ChannelFuture f = serverChannel.close();
Assert.assertTrue(f.awaitUninterruptibly(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)));
serverChannel = null;
break;
}else{
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
class SleepHandler implements Runnable{
@Override
public void run() {
while (true){
}
}
}
}
}
@charlesk40 Thanks! Will have a look in a few..
@charlesk40 the problem is that you keep the thread/cpu busy. change while(true) to :
while (!Thread.interrupted()) {
}
And you will see it works
Well, SleepHandler just mimics the handler that could take long time,
and in a real handler senario, while(true) loop is a valid usage.
Something more like which does some job for long time.
class SleepHandler implements Runnable{
@Override
public void run() {
while (true){
//do something here
try {
// System.out.println("Sleeping...");
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
We see this issue when: for some reason SslHandler's close_notify message was not written completely and Netty didn't get any notification of write failure. The workaround is to set some timer and force-close the connection:
pipeline.remove(SslHandler.class);
channel.close();
In Netty 4, SslHandler uses its internal timer to schedule a force close.
trustin closed the issue
@cloudaloe do you have any easy way for me to reproduce ?
Sure. But I'm first ruling out the possibility that I need to explicitly initiate a handshake or explicitly wait for the automatically initiated handshake to finish before issuing .write on the channel. I found some mentions of that aspect and would like to rule it out first (here and related).
@normanmaurer My issue was something else (resolved through debugging with -Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake). Sorry for the irrelevance to this thread.
@cloudaloe you may want to share what your issue was just in case someone else has the same issue...
Sure, somewhere along rounds of refactoring while upgrading to Netty 4 Beta 1, my client side code was inadvertently left using setUseClientMode(false). It seems this was causing the handshake against my server component to just hang (without propagating any error) which could be observed using -Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake. Netty was actually consistent in not firing the listener for the handshake and in not letting the write operation through. Again, not relevant to the bug this thread is actually about.
First issue was asked here.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9804982/org-jboss-netty-channel-channelfuture-awaituninterruptibly-hangs-when-closing
We are also noticing the same problem with Netty 3.3.1.Final where awaitUninterruptibly hangs and channel doesn't seem to get closed.
As a work around, we tried this which seems to do the trick.


The best way to proceed is to copy an existing instrument, and modify it to your needs. The interface to the TCL language can be done almost entirely through the tcl++ class library. Use the NEWCMD macro to instantiate a new TCL command. This may be the complete widget, or merely a component of it. The instrument may be encoded entirely in TCL code, accessing the model's state variables in the usual way. Alternatively, you may write C++ code to access the state variables directly through the model's class defintion.
An alternative approach is taken in analysis.cc. A variable that has been registered in the TCL_obj database can have a reference set up to it using the declare macro, defined in TCL_obj_base.h. For example, in the ecolab model, ecolab.density is the TCL name for the density member of the ecolab model. Then
declare(density,iarray,"ecolab.density");declares a variable of type
iarray&
that may be used to refer to
this member. Argument 3, the string parameter needn't be a constant
string, but can be any string, eg a string passed through argv[].

FOREWORD
my experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more .
September 11, 2016

The problem with most failing businesses I’ve encountered is not that their owners don’t know enough about finance, marketing, management, and operations—they don’t, but those things are easy enough to learn—but that they spend their time and energy defending what they think they know. The greatest businesspeople I’ve met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL MYTH
That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work . And the reason it’s fatal is that it just isn’t true. In fact, it’s the root cause of most small business failures! The technical work of a business and a business that does that technical work are two totally different things! But the technician who starts a business fails to see this. To the technician suffering from an Entrepreneurial Seizure, a business is not a business but a place to go to work.

THE ENTREPRENEUR, THE MANAGER, AND THE TECHNICIAN
But it’s a three-way battle between The Entrepreneur, The Manager, and The Technician.

The entrepreneurial personality turns the most trivial condition into an exceptional opportunity. The Entrepreneur is the visionary in us. The dreamer. The energy behind every human activity.

The Entrepreneur lives in the future, never in the past, rarely in the present. He’s happiest when left free to construct images of “what-if” and “if-when.”

However, this cannot be. For if such an object were to end the chain of movement, it would have to move itself, which is not posssible. How can something potentially blue have itself move itself to be blue? Its potential cannot move itself to be blue for potential cannot enact change. Its actual non-blueness cannot move itself to be blue because it does not contain the color blue.
In fact, this is like saying that a series of train cars without engines, each pulled by the next, can all be pulled by another train car with a train car without an engine at the front.
Thus, it is not possible that a chain of finite movement can end with an object consisting of potency and act.


Anastasia
Chad'z rating: **1/2 (out of 4 = OK/average)
1997, G, 94 minutes [1 hour, 34 minutes]
[animated - lighthearted drama/fantasy/musical]
starring the voices of: Meg Ryan (Anya), John Cusack (Dimitri), Angela Lansbury (Dowager Empress Marie), Christopher Lloyd (Rasputin); written by Susan Gauthier, Bruce Graham, Bob Tzudiker, Noni White; produced and directed by Don Bluth, Gary Goldman.
Seen December 8, 1997 at 8:40 p.m. at The Glenwood Movieplex Cinemas (Oneida, NY), theater #2, by myself for free (free pass). [Theater rating: ***: good sound, picture, and seats]
One would think the animated film industry would be free of the same criticism live-action, Hollywood movies often receive, such as too many special effects and not enough story. Watching "Anastasia," it's apparent that trend has been picked up on in the last place it should be, as the film is flooded with spectacular imagery, but strung together by a weak story.
In the spirit of most animated movies intended for children, this film opens in traditional fashion by establishing all of its important aspects quickly. And like many other films of the nature, the atmosphere is a lighthearted mix of basic reality and some fantasy. The animation is beautiful, as its computer-generated enhancements give a good sense of three-dimensional realism, movement, and minute detail.
The setting takes place in 1916 Russia where we get a glamorous royal family and a nasty villain, each such obvious representatives of good and evil it's a bit surprising these labels aren't stamped on their forehead. When the villain, Rasputin (Lloyd), tries to put a curse on the Romanov royal family, a chase scene immediately ensues. But the princess Anastasia doesn't make it, and, after hitting her head while trying to catch a speeding train, suffers amnesia. Thus the heir to the throne is thought to be missing for the next 10 years.
Although the film does a fine job in establishing its basic plot, it does so through typical song-and-dance routines that could be found in almost any animated musical. We learn Anastasia wound up in an orphanage and is now named Anya (Ryan). We also learn the Dowager Empress Marie (Lansbury), has moved to Paris and is offering a reward to anyone who can find her. Of course, where's there's a reward, there's got to be con artists, and those characters are present here with Dimitri (Cusack), the likable kitchen boy, and Vladimir (Kelsey Grammar), his chubby cherubic guardian of sorts. They plan to find a girl to impersonate Anastasia and split the reward money - guess who becomes their proxy?
From this point the story plays itself out as expected: with a rivalry and unspoken attraction between Anya and Dimitri; a long road trip to make for adventures; and the villain trying to kill Anastasia even though he's dead. The problem is the screenplay is confused and inconsistent. The scenes and sub-plots between Anya and Dimitri are clever and funny, as they look, talk, and act like real people. Yet the other characters look like comic-strip caricatures and the result is a conflicting atmosphere.
Then there's Rasputin and all the silliness that comes with him. We get lots of gratuitous special effects, magic tricks, and the generic, wisecracking sidekick. But it just doesn't synthesize with the story since everything else seems so realistic in comparison. Rasputin has such little screen time we never get a sense of his motivation, he's just the token villain.
To say the film suffers an identity crisis is an understatement. The first act is told almost exclusively through song, but once the story has focus, the songs disappear and what had been a good musical becomes anything but. It's all over the map using the interaction between the main characters to create for comedy, the threat of Rasputin for wild adventure, and when they finally arrive in Paris the melodrama comes pouring in.
There seems to be a charming fairytale within "Anastasia," but it never really surfaces through the bland story. It is a bit charming, but it doesn't have the magic touch it needs.

"Real Madrid are closer to signing Skriniar than Barca"
by BeSoccerMilan Skriniar is being linked once again with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though 'Mundo Deportivo' are saying that Barcelona have ruled out his signing, the company which represents the footballer says they is a two way battle for the footballer. Real Madrid apparently have the advantage.
At 24, Skriniar's market value is increasing as seasons go by. In his third season at Inter Milan, the Slovakian defender is being linked with Real Madrid and Barca again. The two Spanish giants have shown interest in him in the last few months.
Mithat Halis, member of 'Star&Friend', the company which represents Skriniar spoke about that, These words have increased rumours over a possible departure by the Inter defender.
"Skriniar is worth 100 million euros. Real Madrid and Barcelona have been fighting for his transfer for two years. Now Real Madrid are closer to reachng a deal with Inter Milan because they want and need him much more than Barca,". This is what the agent said in an interview which 'AS' has published.

'Mundo Deportivo' also support these comments. Barca have apparently ruled out the signing of the Slovakian.
And they explained the reasoning behind Real's interest. "Real Madrid are looking for alternatives to Ramos and Varane in the centre of defence and that is why they have approached Inter. I think he could go to Real Madrid."
Eder Militao's signing has not been good for Real Madrid, Skriniar, with more of a track record at a club like Inter, could meet Zinedine Zidane's demands.

Creating passionate users: "Brains love play. Find a way to bring more play (or at least a sense of playfulness) into someone's life, and you might just end up with a fan.
Brains evolved to play, and apparently the bigger the brain, the more likely it is to play. Play turns the brain on."

Complex numbers are represented by a dictionary of real and imaginary attributes:
complex( x, y ) — complex number returned as { re: x, im: y }
complex( x ) — complex number returned as { re: x, im: 0 }
C( x, y ) — complex number returned as { re: x, im: y }
C( x ) — complex number returned as { re: x, im: 0 }
The separate attributes can be accessed through their respective names,
complex( x, y ).re = x complex( x, y ).im = y
or with convenience functions:
re( x ) — real part of a real or complex number
real( x ) — real part of a real or complex number
im( x ) — imaginary part of a real or complex number
imag( x ) — imaginary part of a real or complex number
Since JavaScript does not support operator overloading, functions are available for complex arithmetic:
add( x, y ) — add two real or complex numbers
add( x, y, z, … ) — add an arbitrary number of real or complex numbers
sub( x, y ) — subtract two real or complex numbers
mul( x, y ) — multiply two real or complex numbers
mul( x, y, z, … ) — multiply an arbitrary number of real or complex numbers
div( x, y ) — divide two real or complex numbers
neg( x ) — negate a real or complex number
inv( x ) — invert a real or complex number

MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD A film review by Ken Johnson Copyright 1993 Ken Johnson
1:26, PG, Comedy, 1992 Director: Greg Beeman Cast: Teri Garr, Jeffrey Jones, Jon Lovitz, Dwier Brown, Kathy Ireland, Thalmus Rasulala, Wallace Shawn, Eric Idle
Jon Lovitz, the ruler of a planet of idiots, is going to destroy Earth. He sees Teri Garr, an Earth woman, and has Garr and her husband Jeffrey Jones brought up to his planet. Lovitz has Jones imprisoned and tries to marry Garr. Jones escapes from prison and has to save Garr and the Earth.
Given the comic talent in MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD, it could have been a lot better than it turned out. However, that doesn't mean that this film is a waste of time because it is far from that. This film will only be liked by those who enjoy "stupid" comedies. On a scale of zero to five, I give MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD a four with reservations (a 3.5). MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD is rated PG for adult situations and violence.
Jon Lovitz (A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, MR. DESTINY) is not at his best in this film. He was better in almost any of his appearances in the old episodes of "Saturday Night Live". Jeffrey Jones (STAY TUNED, BEETLEJUICE) carries most of this film. He does a great job. Teri Garr (TOOTSIE, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND) gives a reasonably good performance. Kathy Ireland (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S LOADED WEAPON 1, MR. DESTINY) is great. Wallace Shawn (THE PRINCESS BRIDE, SHADOWS AND FOG) is disappointing. I expected much better from him. Eric Idle (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S EUROPEAN VACATION, MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE) is the best actor in this film. This film is worth seeing just for him. The various creatures in this film are also great, especially the ones that live in the sewers.
As I mentioned earlier, MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD is a "stupid" comedy. It starts out slowly, but about one-fourth of the way through the film starts to pick up and doesn't slow back down. This film is basically well written. It is not in the league of such films as HOT SHOTS!, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S LOADED WEAPON 1, or THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR. If any children are around, they will love this film.

This is what an article on MediaPost (my source) talks about. In the article Google’s President of Advertising and Commerce for North America, Tim Armstrong talks about Google’s future Ads Dashboard at the American Association of Advertising Agencies Media Conference. And that’s a cool crowd to talk about what the biggest threat to Agencies will be doing, especially when they really want the agencies on their side … at least until they don’t need them anymore.
What they want to bring out is a kind of dashboard that helps Agencies to plan, buy and manage all their advertising, be it search, display, radio, tv or anything other that comes. The integration helps show agencies how different parts of the mix influence each other. That is actually what GroupM from WPP is working on. Of course Google is saying that they want to help agencies, and GroupM is obviously mostly helping it’s connected agencies. I need to write a bit about GroupM in the future, seems to be an amazing place!
While I do believe that Google has nothing against the agencies because they will not be able to hire enough sales guys to do it alone, they will not be needed in the end. You might need a Creative Agency, but that will be the only ones still making a margin and not being replacable. Now already, the big clients will milk an agency for it’s last cent, knowing exactly what they pay for advertising, and being a hard bargainer. When all the agencies out there use one Dashboard to manage the ads, management, buying, and so on becomes a no brainer. They can only distinguish themselves via being more creative and being more knowledgeable to build a great integrated campaign. Trafficking is an art form (it is what GroupM does) and the thing is that the big publishers will not let a Google rid them of their direct access to the agencies and customers.
But if you will not be able to use Google’s tool to directly bid on big publishers (you might be able to use it to track them due to their Doubleclick ownership, think Doubleclick for Agencies which they already use anyway, now it will be free) where do you book? Google needs somewhere for automatic booking, especially for image ads.
That is really a threat for all the networks forming at the moment. I am talking about an AdJug, AdScale, AdBrite and so on. Either they need to develop an API to hook themselves up to the Google Dashboard, or they will have a real problem. Because Google does need all the same small to mid publishers to fill their booking engine. And with all the Agencies connected, they will be able to pay better. One thing that Google AdSense is missing now is an option to say "only accept ads with CPM over X", which things like AdScale do. Of course, nobody has yet been able to explain to me how they do it with CPC Ads, but ok, I think it is something Google could do if they do want to reach beyond being the back fill.
Of course continuing down that line of thinking, the next extension then might mean that the big publishers will need to open up for Google’s Dashboard. And then suddenly it is all automated and then you don’t need Agencies anymore. Creative Agencies yes, but that might be it.
Yes, Google does need the agencies, but they will make sure that their tools are so easy that the agencies are easily replaced and ad management is not a margin business … not for anyone but Google that is.
Or it just stays a wining-and-dining business for a long time to come. ;)
