As seen in the article, Steve Jobs is very successful and succeeded in the invention of the I Phone. However, according to sociology, his success was also because of when he was born.

Much has been said about the original iPhone's success factors: an innovative multi-touch interface, a never-seen-before combination of cell phone, iPod, and internet "navigator." All good, but missing one crucial element: removing the carrier's control on the iPhone's features and content.
The iPhone's 10th birthday was a happy opportunity to look once again at Steve Jobs' masterclass in storytelling and positioning, and to contemplate, with incredulous gratitude, the enormity of the consequences. As Horace Dediu, our nonpareil tech historian and poet, recently remarked with his trademark humor, " The First Trillion Dollars is Always the Hardest " [as always, edits and emphasis mine]:

In its first 10 years, the iPhone will have sold at least 1.2 billion units, making it the most successful product of all time. The iPhone also enabled the iOS empire which includes the iPod touch, the iPad, the Apple Watch and Apple TV whose combined total unit sales will reach 1.75 billion units over 10 years. This total is likely to top 2 billion units by the end of 2018.

[...] iOS will have generated over $1 trillion in revenues for Apple sometime this year.

In addition, developers building apps for iOS have been paid $60 billion. The rate of payments has now reached $20 billion/yr.

No one saw it coming, Apple execs included. For their part, the high tech incumbents made many infelicitous statements, only to be steamrolled when the iPhone and, later, Android changed everything. The Smartphone 2.0 wasn't just a one-to-one communication device, it influenced media creation and consumption, transformed everyday commerce with in-phone wallets and touch ID, turned social networking into a ubiquitous tool. It even forced Enterprise information systems to completely rethink and retool their infrastructure - this wasn't simply a computer with a "smaller form factor."

In retrospect, the ascendency of Smartphone 2.0 and the way it has shaped our culture seems obvious and natural. But the celebration and contemplation overlooks a crucial sine qua non, a necessary (but not sufficient) condition: Unlocking the carriers' grip on handset specifications, marketing, and content distribution.

More specifically, we owe Steve Jobs an enormous debt of gratitude for breaking the carriers' backs (to avoid a more colorful phrase).

Before the iPhone, handsets received the same treatment as containers of yogurt in a supermarket chain. The central purchasing office told the yogurt makers which flavors to ship, when, where, at what price, with payment at some point in the future after we're sure there are no more returns. And don't forget to send your people to make sure the labels line up on the shelves..

Carriers were no less imperious in their treatment of handset makers. They ran the show, never letting anyone forget the Hollywood "Content is King, but Distribution is King Kong" adage. Life was orderly, everyone in the cellphone ecosystem knew their place.

This was anathema to Jobs, himself notoriously control-hungry. He wasn't going to allow mere carriers to control what the iPhone did and contained. Although the iPhone boasted only Web apps at the announcement, there were native apps, an iPhone SDK, and the App Store gestating and waiting for the freedom to deploy. Letting a carrier dictate - or, worse, design  - the apps that would run on the iPhone and manage content... that was unthinkable.

How did Jobs and his team manage to hypnotize AT&T's execs into giving up their birthright, their control, in exchange for five-year exclusivity on an unproven device they weren't even allowed to see? But why should we be surprised? Apple's CEO had performed a similar feat with iTunes back in the iPod days. He convinced publishers to sell music "by the slice," one song at a time vs. the established album format, and he convinced credit card companies to accept $.99 micropayments.

(In more ways than one, the iPod feels like a large scale rehearsal for the iPhone: hardware miniaturization, supply chain management, content distribution, business model. In addition, the iPod gave the then-beleaguered Apple an aura of success. The company was winning again.)

Having wrested control from AT&T, Jobs could run the table, retain sole control over what was in the box and on the screen, over media distribution, software updates, and, in 2008, the App Store that made the iPhone an immensely flexible app phone. As a result, there's no crapware on the screen, iOS updates are quickly adopted, and security holes are more rapidly plugged.

After AT&T's capitulation, the other carriers soon followed. They didn't like the loss of control and they complained about subsidies even as they signed up more and more subscribers, all leading to Horace's $1 trillion number.

To be sure, Jobs' way isn't the only path. Carrier control over Android handsets didn't prevent the Google platform from becoming wildly successful...and wild it has been: The Android proliferation comes with fragmentation and low adoption of fresh versions and security fixes. For example, the most recent Android version (last May) had 7.5% adoption versus 84% for iOS 9.

In addition to a "free" business model that gets nowhere near Apple's revenue numbers, Google has long been frustrated by the slow, carrier-throttled updates and crapware: "This is not how Android should be deployed." In reaction, Google has sold a succession of "pure" Android phones, the latest being the Pixel device, and they've experimented with Project Fi experiment, a sort of MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that straddles cellular and WiFi. Where Project Fi will lead is unclear, but there would be dancing in the streets if Google or Apple offered a nationwide, no-small-print, cleanly priced network.

Standing atop its $1 trillion mountain in a saturated smartphone market, Apple is now seen as having run out of growth prospects, at least without a new product to ride to new heights. The consensus among today's observers is that Tim Cook's recent " the best is yet to come" statement should be shrugged off, something he had to say rather than a hint that Apple is sitting on a portfolio of to-be-unveiled magical products.

Add a classic PC segment in decline, a Watch that so far hasn't moved the needle, and a confused Internet of Things with more hyperbole than stable business models, and the sum doesn't even come close to providing another "2007 iPhone" growth engine.

But we'll see...anticipating Apple's doom has never been a safe bet.

In the meantime, let's have another grateful thought for what Steve Jobs did to keep carriers from messing with the iPhone.

The transportation firm strategically located its 12th facility.

Walter Kemmsies, managing director, economist and chief strategist for JLL Ports, Airports and Global Infrastructure, discussed how interest rates are on the rise and the effects this could have on the supply chain.

Interest rates have risen significantly in the last few months, and comments from the Federal Reserve about the state of the economy indicate that rate hikes are likely to continue. Inventory ties up financial capital because, with some exceptions, producers must pay suppliers before the goods are sold and revenues are received. If interest rates continue to rise in 2017, it is likely that there will be pressure to reduce the amount of inventory held in order to support sales.
From 1992 to 2010, the inventory-to-sales ratio for multi-product retail stores declined dramatically due to increased efficiency in supply chains. These efficiencies were achieved despite the increasing complexity of supply chains, as retailers increasingly sourced their merchandise from foreign suppliers. Since 2010, however, inventory-to-supply ratio trends have reversed.

It is generally believed that e-commerce companies are keeping more goods in more locations because online customers demand more choices and shorter delivery times, which has translated to one-day or even same-day delivery. E-commerce retailers who are unable to meet these demands run the risk of losing customers to their competitors.
In order to protect their market share and/or increase sales, e-commerce retailers need to expand the geography that they serve. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar retailers who can hold inventory in a centralized warehouse that supplies many stores over a wide region, e-commerce retailers need to hold inventory closer to potential delivery locations. Thus, it stands to reason that increases in e-commerce's share of retail sales (see New clash of the titans, American Shipper, September 2016, pg. 30) is the reason that inventory-to-sales ratios stopped declining in the last five years.
There are factors other than the shift from the brick-and-mortar model to consider as well. The Great Recession, which according to the National Bureau of Economic Research began in December 2007 and ended in July 2009, had its origin in a financial crisis that provoked the Federal Reserve to not only set short term interest rates at 0 percent, but also to buy government bonds in large quantities - referred to as "quantitative easing" - so as to push their prices up and the yields down to historic lows. Even though the Fed has abandoned the bond buying policy and increased short-term interest rates, they remain close to those historically low levels.
Low interest rates mean that the financial cost of holding inventory is low. And given that commercial and industrial real estate vacancy rates were high, the operational cost of holding inventories was also relatively low. Even if e-commerce was not gaining a share of retail sales, given low interest rates and real estate lease costs, one would expect the inventory-to-sales ratios to stop declining and perhaps even rise as seems to have been the case in the last five years. This may also explain, in part, why seasonal peaks in imported container volumes have been relatively muted during this time period.
Industrial real estate vacancy rates have fallen again in 2016, according to JLL research, indicating that real estate costs are likely to rise. With the unemployment rate below 5 percent, a level that economists consider to be a non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment, it is likely that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates to head off an increase in inflation.
If the costs of holding inventory increase, beneficial cargo owners will be under pressure to reduce the amount they hold, but also to avoid stock-outs since this can result not only in lost sales, but in loss of market share as well. Those pressures are likely to be felt across the entire freight movement service industry, and falling inventory-to-sales ratios will be a primary indication that this is indeed happening.

Deerfield High School and Highland Park High School emphasizes education and is donated to. District 113 is a high up school district in the United States.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a disappointing showing in 2015, Highland Park and Deerfield high schools saw their composite passing rates jump from the single digits to 40 and 36 percent, respectively, on the PARCC exams that were given primarily to freshmen last spring.

While the composite scores went up, results on the mathematics exam lagged at both high schools in Township High School District 113. Only students enrolled in Algebra I took the math exam - meaning freshmen who'd taken algebra in middle school and were enrolled in a higher-level course were not counted in the results.

The State Board of Education Monday released the results of PARCC tests taken last spring at www.illinoisreportcard.com. PARCC stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.

In English and Language Arts, 52 percent of ninth graders at Highland Park High School met or exceeded expectations and were considered "ready for the next level" under a scoring system that divides students into five categories.

At Deerfield High School, 44 percent of students met or exceeded expectations on the English and Language Arts test and were considered ready for the next level.

Passing rates were lower on the math exam taken by Algebra I students. At Highland Park High School, 17 percent of test takers met standards, as did 12 percent of students at Deerfield High School.

During the first year of PARCC testing, District 113 opted to give a different level of the PARCC exam to students enrolled in junior English courses and Algebra II. Only eight percent of Deerfield students and 11 percent of Highland Park students met or exceeded standards in English the first year of PARCC testing. The results were worse in math, with one percent of Deerfield students and no Highland Park students meeting standards.

The poor showing was unusual for two schools that regularly rank among Illinois' top high schools on a list published by U.S. News and World Report.

"We couldn't tease out if students really didn't know the information, didn't have the requisite skills, or if they just didn't attend to the items on the test," said Assistant Superintendent Suzan Hebson in July.

As the Chicago Tribune reported in July, the U.S. Department of Education was critical of Illinois' inconsistent method of testing high school students and had threatened in April to withhold federal funds. The federal decision to place Illinois on "high risk" status was a factor in the state's decision to drop PARCC testing at the high school level starting in 2017.

State Superintendent Tony Smith announced in mid summer that Illinois was dropping the PARCC test for high school students and would instead administer the College Board's SAT, including the writing exam, to all eleventh grade students. The state previously had given a free ACT exam as part of its Prairie State Achievement Exam - providing students a score they could use to apply to college. District 113 officials had appealed to the state to offer a test that could be used for college admissions.

Hebson and others said students' apathy toward the inconsequential PARCC exam likely contributed to the poor results in 2015.

"The students have a stake in (the SAT) because it qualifies as a legitimate college admissions test," Hebson said in July. "I think students will understand this is an opportunity to see if they can improve their performance and, therefore, their college admissions options." .

The golden era of Nasa's space race with Soviet Russia is brought back to life in stunning colourised images

Irish artist Matt Loughrey transformed the images to educate young people on Nasa's golden years

His work forms part of a short visual documentary named Astro which is narrated by Micah Cottingham

Highlights include shots of Mission Control during the Apollo 11 mission and an image of astronaut Gordon Cooper in May of 1963 during project Mercury

The golden years of Nasa's space race against Soviet Russia have been brought back to life in striking colour thanks to these behind the scenes photographs.

The stunning pictures offer a new glimpse into the inner workings of Nasa through the ages.

The images, which have been expertly colourised over hundreds of hours of painstaking work, show intense discussions raging at Mission Control as well as astronauts in their space suits.

Scroll down for video

Other revealing images show the tense atmosphere in Mission Control during the Apollo 11 mission, when humans first set foot on the moon, as well as a candid shot of Margaret Hamilton in 1969, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution that led to Apollo 11's successful landing.

The striking transformations were carried out by Irish artist Matt Loughrey as part of his project for 'My Colourful Past', who spent over 300 hours colourising the images.

'I want people, particularly young people, to see these photographs in colour as a testament to technology, good science and bravery combined,' said the Westport-based artist.

'Moreover, several astronauts are leaving us now in that they are in their closing years, it's a good time to look back.

'I saw an opportunity to match grayscale imagery to colours in the RGB chart and therefore maintain accuracy, that made the project educational and worthwhile.

'You're seeing the truth of the past using an algorithm to magnify it, you're seeing hours and hours of work undertaken by hand using a digital stylus, you're seeing the advent of Apollo, Gemini, Mercury and STS.'

WHAT WAS THE SPACE RACE?

The space race was a 20th-century competition between two super powers - the capitalist US and the communist Soviet Union.

Each super power waged a bitter campaign to prove the superiority of their space technology in a race that became symbolic of the Cold War era.

The race began in 1957 when a Russian ballistic missile launched the world's first ever man-made satellite to enter Earth's orbit, known as 'Sputnik'.

Sputnik's launch took US military officials by surprise and in 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) was created to take on the Russians' space superiority.

But in 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit Earth, traveling in the capsule-like spacecraft Vostok 1 - the US were still second in the space race.

Later that year, then-President John F. Kennedy made the bold claim that the US would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade, and Nasa's budget was hiked by more than 500 per cent over the next four years.

Nasa met Kennedy's lofty target in July 1969 when U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins set off on the Apollo 11 space mission.

Armstrong would go on to become the first man on the moon - effectively ending the Cold War.

In 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit Earth, traveling in the capsule-like spacecraft Vostok 1.

US Officials were keen not to fall behind Russia when it came to space exploration - they saw it as a key battleground in the future of the Cold War.

WHAT HAPPENED TO APOLLO 13?

Apollo 13 was supposed to land three astronauts - Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise - on the moon, but an explosion on board jeopardised the lunar mission.

One of the shuttle's two oxygen tanks exploded, severely damaging the second one, as the command module's normal supply of electricity, light and water was also lost.

The astronauts were about 200,000 miles from Earth and only had a few days to get back to Earth before air supplies ran out.

After the explosion, a message came from Swigert after he saw a warning light that accompanied the bang: 'Houston, we've had a problem here.'

An exploration mission quickly became a survival mission as Mission Control raced to find a way to get the astronauts back to safety.

The astronauts were eventually rescued as Mission Control changed the shuttle's trajectory to quickly slingshot it around the moon and back toward Earth.

The mission was the focus of the 1995 film 'Apollo 13' starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton.

Later that year, then-President John F. Kennedy made the bold claim that the US would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade, and Nasa's budget was hiked by more than 500 per cent over the next four years.

Armstrong would go on to become the first man on the moon - effectively ending the space race.

Now, Loughrey has brought black and white photos from the space race era back to life.

The work forms part of a short visual documentary named Astro and narrated by Micah Cottingham.

Loughrey, who uses a WACOM Intous Pro to achieve his outstanding results, hopes his work can shed new light on these historic events.

'People are generally speechless when they see some of this work,' he said.

'I think that's down to not understanding how it can be done and then realising that colour brings new meaning to these photographs.

'I began colourising by chance and realized I had a skill so I investigated further and realized I could expand on the idea, people liked what I produced and requests began to come from the world over.

'I'm a father of two living in the West of Ireland and even though I am geographically isolated, the internet has brought my service to a lot of people.'
