![]() Brand Perceptionīrand perception is simply how people perceive the author and in some cases the publisher. ![]() The BookBeam Extension allows you to quickly see averages of book prices for whatever your niche may be. If most competing books are priced around $15 and you attempt to sell yours for $20, you most likely will get fewer sales than you could at a lower price point. In more basic terms, this just means that consumers will evaluate your book against your competitor’s books. If there is a market for your book, then there also are going to be other books competing to satisfy that same demand. Prices of Other Books in the Same Nicheĭo not forget about basic market dynamics. There are multiple factors to consider when selecting an optimal price point for your book: The RoyaltyĪfter all the effort that you put into producing your book, it is only fair that you get paid! So first things first, you should select a price point that allows you to collect an acceptable royalty, which is what our print royalty calculator is made to help you do. How to Pick the Best Price for Your Book? The costs are not calculated based on the amount of ink used but from the number of pages that your colored ink interior has. Each page is in full color, so it is easy to justify the increased price.Īn example of “not-so-good” use of the colored ink option would be a 200-page book with a few colored pictures here and there. Your book will have to be priced much higher with the colored ink option.Īn example of good use of the colored ink option would be a children’s picture book. For this reason, we would suggest that if you do go for the colored ink option, you make very good use of it. Should I choose black and white or colored ink?Ĭolored ink costs significantly more than black and white. The discount comes out of their cut of the book’s sale price. This means that your sales rate is likely to increase without you earning a lower royalty rate. And that is good news! Whilst Amazon reserves the right to adjust the price for your book, your royalty will remain the same as for the list price that you set. Most often this is because Amazon is running a discount for your book. Why is my book’s price on Amazon not the same as I set it in my KDP dashboard? It’s quite obvious that Amazon is incentivizing publishers to price their kindle eBooks in the range of $2.99-$9.99. They are $0.15/MB for the US, £0.10/MB for the UK, and €0,12/MB for the European marketplaces. From $2.99 – $9.99 the royalty rate is 70%.Īlso, another element to keep in mind is the delivery costs which get subtracted from your total royalty, when you opt for 70% royalty. The basic royalty structure for Kindle eBooks is quite simple. How Amazon Calculates Royalties for Kindle eBooks If your book happens to be, for example, 80 pages long, you can still add 28 pages without increasing the printing cost.įor colored ink, the printing cost stays the same until 42 pages. This means that your printing costs (and royalty) will be the same when your book is 24 pages long or 108 pages. Note that for black and white ink books, the printing cost stays the same until 108 pages.

![]() ![]() 22 Short cartridge will accomplish the same thing, if your gun will shoot them.) However, subsonic rounds may have trouble cycling the actions of semiautomatics reliably. CCI’s Subsonic HP, for example, reduces velocity to 1050 fps and therefore lowers the decibel level to around 68, almost half the normal high-velocity. 22 LR ammo and a suppressor are combined, you’ve got a whisper-quiet, deadly accurate small-game firearm.Īll the major ammunition manufacturers offer subsonic. 22s because they exhibit 37 percent less wind deflection due to the disproportional increase of air resistance near the sound barrier. 22 LRs are more accurate than supersonic. And as smallbore competitors know, subsonic. So while the energy to cleanly kill small game remains, the downrange crack vanishes. 22 LR offers around 1050 and 100, respectively, a negligible difference to any rabbit. 22 LR load delivers around 1200 fps and 140 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. Speaking of which, rimfires are where subsonics really shine. Subsonic Rimfire Loads Offer the Best Balance for Hunting It should be noted that these long bullets are most accurate when fired from barrels with fast 1:7 twist rates to stabilize them at subsonic speeds. 300 AAC Blackout (which function well in modern sporting arms with a simple upper receiver swap) have become the preferred subsonic centerfire round for sportsmen, as well as for the military and law enforcement. That’s why rounds with long, large-diameter bullets like the. To compensate for less velocity, you need more mass. The other is because a lack of energy going forward equals a lack of energy going backward-and so they can fail to cycle semiautomatics. This is one reason why you rarely see subsonic. ![]() 22 LR-the difference between a load for deer and a load for prairie dogs. But if you reduce the velocity to a subsonic 1100 fps, it produces only 150 foot-pounds. At 3250 fps, it produces 1,280 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. Since energy is the product of mass times velocity squared, a slower bullet has exponentially less energy than a faster one of the same weight. Is Subsonic Ammo Powerful Enough to Take Big Game? ![]() So while subsonic ammo does eliminate the downrange crack, and does reduce the bang at the muzzle somewhat due to its lower velocity, it won’t make your centerfire rifle sound like mouse feet on felt. Walney down the road into a fit of agita. It’s the latter bang that causes hearing damage, reveals shooters’ positions, scares game, and works Mrs. Most of the noise inherent with shooting a rifle, however, comes not from the bullet breaking the sound barrier, but from expanding gases rapidly escaping the rifle’s bore. When a moving object, such as a bullet, breaks that threshold, there is an audible shock wave that sounds like the crack of a bullwhip. What is Subsonic Ammo?Īt sea level, the speed of sound is roughly 1127 feet per second. Still, subsonic ammo does fill an important niche for many hunters and shooters. Your rifle will still go bang, and none of this quieter ammo is powerful enough for hunting big game much past slingshot range. Subsonic cartridges do produce less noise than full-velocity rounds, but there’s no free lunch-as usual. The label on the ammo box says subsonic, so this stuff won’t spook every deer in the county like your earth-shattering aught-six does, right? Well, sort of.

Now they'd recognized the need to test the software, so they had a dedicated test team for the program. None of those found the bug, the software then arrived with our clients. The product team had a set of unit tests that were run over the software. So what went wrong? First the product testing failed to stop the problem. Now these were two mature organizations, both were foot FTSE 100 companies at the time, they'd recognized the risk of bugs in the software, and they put a number of barriers in place.īut those barriers failed. At the end of the month, when the the back office settlement process kicked in, that's when they noticed the issue and it was rapidly resolved at that point. And this obviously put the client out of balance so that what they were generating or consuming didn't match what they'd captured in the trading system.Īnd that resulted in punitive imbalance charges about a million pounds a day, for a month. If the trader booked to sell under these specific conditions, we notified the market that they were buying. He was meaning well, but unbeknownst to him he introduced a bug, which meant that under certain conditions, when a trader booked to buy we were notifying the central market agent that they were selling and vice versa. While he was in the code, he noticed an area of the code which to him was a confusing, there was a range of conditional statements and he decided to tidy those up to make it clearer what was going on. The lead developer on the product team was making some final small changes to the product as part of preparing the final release to go out to our clients. Now the bug was introduced about a week before go live. ![]() I was on client site responsible for taking the software from the product team, configuring it and integrating it into the client's technology environment. I was working with a client based in Glasgow. We had a product team based in London building the software and a number of clients around the UK. The client I was working for had been running a two year program to get ready for the new market, and the company I was working for was one of the vendors. This dates back to 2001 and the launch of the new electricity trading market in March of that year. So what went wrong? What resulted in a change to a single line of code costing the client I was working for 30 million pounds? Did we achieve what we set out to achieve and what did we learn along the way? And then hopefully at the end, we'll have time for some Q&A. I'll cover the vision, the people who are involved and the tools that were used, which will allow me to demo some of those tools as well.įinally, I'm gonna wrap up and reflect on the project. Then I'm gonna talk about a project that we ran last summer in this space, where we set about generating synthetic customer data. I think that sets the scene really well about why production grade test data is really important. I'm gonna start with a story about how a change to one line of code cost a client I was working with 30 million pounds. So what do I want to talk to you about today? And we do that generally in two ways, through data analytics and. We like to say that "we help small teams achieve big things". ![]() Then having graduated in 2019, I joined endjin. I was a CTO at a financial services company, but having attended some of the data lab events and with the support through their MSC program, I completed Masters in artificial intelligence right here at the University of Strathclyde. They inspired me back in 2019 to do a career pivot. In particular, I wanted to call out the Data Lab. Data Scotland is very much a community driven event, but without the backing from these sponsors, it wouldn't have been possible to host the event today and bring the community together. But before I do that, I just wanted to call out all of the wonderful sponsors who've made today's event possible. And today I'm going to talk to you about generating production quality test data at scale. ![]() He describes how this approach can be used to build better products, to test products using production quality data at production scale, and embed data quality and best practice information security practices in your engineering processes. The challenge is providing product and engineering teams with a sufficient volume of realistic looking synthetic data to enable them to design, develop and test their solutions.īarry presents open source tools and open data sources that can be used to tackle this challenge, and then demos this in action to generate thousands of synthetic customers. Many organisations provide digital products or services that need to handle personally identifiable information. The Empire is torn apart by rebellions during the Mustard War from 1891 to 1901, and then reorganized into the democratic United Atlantic States in 1902, which enshrines corporate personhood into law in order to rebuild its economy. Consequently, the Jacobite rising of 1745 prevails in England and Charles Edward Stuart is crowned King Charles III, leading to lasting peace between the two countries and the subsequent formation of an Anglo-French Empire under Louis XVI, which in turn quells the American Revolution in 1776. Shadows of Doubt takes place in an alternate history that diverges from the real world in 1610: Henry IV of France is not assassinated, allowing English inventor William Lee's knitting machine to spur an early industrial revolution in France. Meanwhile, money earned from murder cases and various odd jobs is needed to purchase certain investigation tools, rent and furnish an apartment, pay for medical care when injured, pay off fines, and bribe citizens for information or access to restricted areas. Reaching the maximum social credit score enables the player to leave their city and enter retirement, concluding the game. The player's overarching goal is to increase their social credit score by solving murder cases. Sometime after a murder case is resolved, the game will automatically select another citizen to carry out the next string of killings, presenting the player with a fresh case. If the player accuses the wrong citizen, they will be fined and the real murderer will continue killing. Only the murderer's name is required for a successful submission, but a cash bonus is rewarded for each optional field that is correctly filled out. The form has five fields: the suspect's full name, their address, a piece of evidence placing the suspect at the crime scene, the murder weapon, and whether the suspect has been placed under arrest. The player can complete a murder case by submitting a case resolution form to the local city hall. ![]() The player also has to contend with false leads, time-sensitive evidence, anti-intrusion security measures ranging from locked doors to automated turrets, and hostile responses from citizens who catch the player doing anything illegal. The details of each murder case are randomly configured: murders may occur anywhere and at any time, any citizen can be involved, the crime can be carried out through a variety of lethal methods, and the available forensic evidence can include fingerprints, surveillance camera footage, witness observations, and more. The player has access to police transmissions and is alerted whenever a murder is reported, allowing them to open a case. ![]() The city's layout, its citizens and their routines, and all murder cases are procedurally-generated per save file, and the player can choose the city's name, size, and seed.

Moreover, since it has no smart functionalities and can’t be connected to the internet, it also provides a sense of safety and security.

The majority of TVs sold nowadays fall into the category of smart TVs due to the convenient and modern features they offer. On the contrary, these types of TVs rely solely on external devices for the video signal. This means that dumb TVs don’t have internet connectivity or an operating system. While Sceptre is priced well, you might want something with more bells and whistles like the Samsung Electronics UN65MU7500.If you wonder, a dumb TV is any TV that doesn’t have smart features, such as the ability to load apps and streaming services.
