Thanks Andyble. Lightreading makes the point that this is Comcast's third warrant deal(after Universal Electronics and Arris) and speculates that Comcast is trying to gain more say over where the R&D spend goes. So maybe with the Arris deal the drive came from Comcast rather than from Arris. I would take that as a positive as it suggests to me that Comcast would have made the running on proposing terms and so Arris would have had a relatively strong negotiating position compared to the scenario I previously imagined of Arris going to Comcast and trying to incentivise Comcast to buy more stuff.

And the Bruce McLelland interview adds to the evidence that Arris feels pretty confident about how 2017 is shaping up.

Pictures of blue lagoon in Iceland. It’s a geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland.













Tokyo-based photographer Danilo Dungo uses drones to take stunning pictures of Japanese cherry blossoms. Every spring, he goes to the Inokashira Park to admire the blossoms, and while regular photography capture the park’s beauty, the drones reveal something else altogether. When seen from a great height, the lake Inokashira Park lake appears to be entirely covered in blossoms! Resembling pollen in a river stream, the blossoms turn the lake a surreal pink, a view unseen by most before the drone age







Two rivers meet in Switzerland. The blue water on the left comes from Lake Léman (Geneva), the turbid water comes from the Arve river, which is full of silt from Mont Blanc and the Chamonix Valley













Neon Luminance is part of a collaboration between Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard over at From the Lenz. The duo dropped high-powered Cyalume glow sticks in a variety of colors into various waterfalls in Northern California and then made exposures varying from 30 seconds to 7 minutes to capture the submerged trails of light as the sticks moved through the current.

Gate of All Nations, Persepolis, Iran

The fact Cyrus the Great literally had a gate for all nations… This man, this Iranian, was truly the start and champion of human rights at the time when slavery was literally the height fashion. He literally went to battle to free slaves that had nothing to do with him, Jews enslaved in Babylon, simply because it was the right thing to do. He not only freed them like Americans claim they did black slaves but he gave them all land and a means to make money and a rift to freely practice their culture and religion, as all within the Persian empire were allowed to do. He didn’t just free the Jews and then keep them at the lower end of society. He gave them a means to prosper and to join everyone else’s social ranking. He made them feel important again.

Blunder... very difficult to time the highs particularly over several years. Given enough time there might be a new highs but it diminishes your return as you wait for them. I believe the share has more legs but realise there is more money to be made elsewhere. My problem has been ending up with a relatively large value of these outside of an ISA, taking several tax years to bleed out the profits efficiently.
Nice problem to have though. My colleagues and Apple die-hards were warning me of cloud and cord cutting almost a decade ago which I believe did have an undue effect on PIC share price and still hasn't really impacted STB's although the role of the box is changing. That said, I am not smart enough to predict the forward path of the industry ... it may have to deal from a lot of pressure through online services within a few years or not. Asian markets might open up at a faster rate and be a game changer. I will probably keep a small holding just out of interest, but by this time next year I too will be out of PIC/Arris. ( Rate of change is increasing and that makes things less predictable)

Codex Silenda is a laser-cut, hand-crafted, five-page wooden book that was created by industrial designer Brady Whitney, who has been raising funds for the project through Kickstarter. The website reads, “Each page features a unique puzzle that requires the reader to unlock the corresponding bolts in order to progress to the next page. As the puzzler moves through the book, a story begins to unfold, depicting the tale of an apprentice in Da Vinci’s Workshop who encounters the same Codex. However, in the story, the Codex acts as a trap set by Da Vinci to capture any would-be spies or snoopy apprentices in order to protect his work. The only way to escape is to solve each of the puzzles before the master returns from his trip.”

The Shell Grotto is an underground passageway that was discovered in 1835 in Kent, England. Its winding corridors are adorned with a mosaic of over 4.6 million shells, and to this day, archaeologists have no idea what its purpose was.





BEAUTIFUL cave markings in the depths of a Russian mine have been captured in stunning detailSwirling patterns in Russia’s Uralkali sylvinite mines went unnoticed by workers, who told photographer Viktor Lyagushkin that the caves were ‘ugly’.

Alex
What's $40 (in your estimation) by Christmas ?
From memory, it was always a £5 whooooosh
Your perennial optimism carried me through many dark days in my Pace journey.
Hope you are having a good day in Auld Reekie, it's a lovely day here in Ultima Thule.
Best

Alex , not selling all of mine. Just banking some hard earned gains. If they go down from here over time I will be happy to know that what I sell at today will average any relative loss up. And if they go up or stay the same next year I will be more than happy. On a day like today, I'm back from the ride by the way, my glass is definitely half full and someone is at the bar getting the next one in for me ;-).
