It’s been another busy week – today is my OFF/FREE day and I spent a good 2+ hours just going shopping! I have been looking for a Spring-type ‘something’ to hang on my shepherd’s crook by our porch entrance; found a nice wooden Welcome sign at KMart, but it was $20 and I’m a cheapskate. Went to Big Lots and found a really nice all metal one for $7 – SCORE! I’ve been needing winter everyday shoes for about a month now (should I admit? Ever since I kicked a big glob of ice behind my car tire and that took off part of my rubber sole!). I’ve scanned Amazon and all types of sites for those shoes – found some really close – had them sent (too small/tight) – sent them back only to find they don’t sell the next half-size up of that particular shoe! Found another close match – ordered them in the half-size bigger only to find that the way they were constructed really jammed my stupid bunion – (ah, the fun of getting old . . .bunions!) so sent them back as well. Today I finally found something VERY close to my old shoes – these are all leather Cobbie Cuddlers – sure hope they work! Stopped at our local charity thrift store & found the perfect top to go with a new skirt AND a really nice beaded black winter sweater with snowflakes on it for $6!!! I know most people try to avoid those sweaters but I like them for winter – just for fun! All-in-all, it was a GOOD shopping day!

I love buyer’s guides. There is something about gaining insight and knowledge around various products or offerings when you either have limited or zero-knowledge around these items, but you want to purchase one at some point. The problem today is when you surf the web, you see all these guides written by content marketers, not experts in L&D or training or learning systems or even e-learning. As a result, people base their decision-making and buying on folks whose expertise is the same as Mollie, who you waved to at the park, last week. Mollie is your accountant.
This guide is going to cover quite a few topics, including a few that I have discussed in the past, and for those, I am linking back to the post, unless there needs some updating to the post – which I will include here.
Any buyer’s guide should have some caveats.
Always do due diligence. Always check out the learning system, ask the right questions (which is in this guide), drill them. Always remember there are no refunds in this industry. A key, when it comes to pricing, BTW. Always see a demo – you steer, they drive (I’ll explain that later). Never assume that they know the terminology in the industry, nor assume that what you think one term means, doesn’t necessarily mean what the vendor thinks it means.
Factoid to keep you up at night – All of them are 100% True
In the Enterprise and Large Enterprise it is not uncommon to get pricing that is quite high, especially if the vendor knows procurement is involved. Why? They fully expect procurement to negotiate down the price, so they price high intentionally.
Enterprise means whatever the vendor wants it to mean in employee (end-users) numbers. It could be 1,000 or 5,000 or even 10,000. One well-known vendor for a long time, considered any business over 300 people – Enterprise. The problem is that if you are say 2,500 and consider yourself Enterprise, and you ask if they have Enterprise clients, to which they say yes – it will be common to think that those clients are at least in your range, when in reality, they may be more at say 500 people.
There are learning system vendors out there who push the term “traditional” to refer to an LMS, even though there is nothing that validates that. Now some vendors are saying an LMS is Legacy, again, totally not true, but the term means “old school and dated”. Many LMSs are NexGen in fact, it comes to how the client wants to use the system, and the system themselves. If a vendor is 15 yrs old, it doesn’t mean their system is that old, and never updated it. And LMSs were not created for compliance, assigned or formal learning. I should note that every LXP can do compliance, assigned and formal learning.
Speaking of LMS, the main spin nowadays is to say you are anti-LMS, not an LMS and so forth – which is totally fine, but there are vendors who say this, yet have the word “LMS” as part of their keywords for search engines. Thus, you type in LMS, and they appear – yet, pitch they are not an LMS.
Originally there were three types of systems – LMS, LCMS, CMS to a degree. LCMS and LMS were the kings. When e-Learning first launched, and for a long time thereafter, it was the key umbrella term, and under it were LMS, LCMS, authoring tools, and so forth.
Over the years, more types of systems arose, and thus I felt the term “learning systems” was more appro to the industry, rather than staying under the umbrella term of e-learning.
Despite vendors who love to coin their own learning system into some type nobody would ever say out loud or search for, here are the main types of learning systems.
I should add that many have some similar features -and thus are becoming ubiquitous. And it is why, for me, I believe folks should look at whom those systems focus on – employees, customers, or combo, rather than the specific type per se.
LMS – Learning Management System. They vary, and brand new doesn’t mean the latest and greatest features. A system is driven by the client, and how the client wants to use the system. LMS has the highest market share in the learning system space. More continue to come in.
Learning Platform – In the majority of the cases, they have the same standard features as an LMS, but prefer to separate themselves, as a different type. Some people use LP and LMS interchangeably. Never assume though that any LP is the same as every LMS, nor that every LMS is the same as every other LMS, and ditto on LP.
Coaching Platform – It is all about coaching from the behavioral skills standpoint. Yet, some LMS vendors, are adding “coaching” in terms of skills for a job role(s). This makes a lot of sense and is something that you would want.
TXP – Talent Development plus LXP. The TD part is heavily focused on learning. A TXP is not the same thing as a talent management or performance management system. TXP detailed explanation.
Here is a list of articles that will help you, if you are new to the learning system space, or have been there, and want to do or know more.

Learning Systems Focused on your Target Audience
For me with so many systems starting to blend into one and another, I zero in on who their target audience is, in terms of whether they are solely focused on employees, or customers or a combo.
This will explain specifically why they went the route they did, with their functionality/capabilities compared to say, another vendor. If I am solely focused on employees, it would be highly unlikely for me to have built-in e-commerce. If I am focused solely on customer education, I wouldn’t necessarily be focused on manager capabilities or anything tied around job roles.
The challenge is that, even the salesperson may not know who is their target focus and may just agree to whatever you ask. “Are you customer-focused?” Yes.
The easy way to find out is to ask them, what percentage of their clients are using their system for only their employees, versus those who are using it only for customer education. If they don’t know, ask them to find out.
The Big Three by Market Share
Combo – Focuses both on employees and customers. Tends to skew more towards employees, but there are exceptions. The breakouts at the high range are up to 79% employees vs 21% customers. The usual range falls in the 55-65% mark towards employees. Vendors in this category (that you might recognize) – Absorb, Learn Amp, Cornerstone, Fuse, SAP Litmos. Skill Jar which pitches itself as a customer education-focused system, breaks close to 50-50 employees vs customers. So, really, they are combo. Combos make up the largest segment of learning systems. Docebo is 60% customers, 40% employees.
Customer Focused – When I say customers, I am referring to customer education, customer learning, customer training, partner training, B2B/B2C, training partners. They focus solely on this audience. A system that fits into this bucket will have a min. of 85% of their clients, focused on the above terms. The majority in the space though, exceed 90%. Vendors in this category include Thought Industries, Eurekos, Intellum, Valamis.
If you are an association, you would slide under customer education, thus a combo or customer-focused would align.
This means that the vendor’s clients, over 80% of them purchase it solely for employees – the usual buyer is someone in L&D. If the vendor breaks past 85% you can expect to see quite a bit around workforce development in the system – all tied to learning mind you. Vendors in this category include SuccessFactors, SumTotal.
If you were to place LXPs somewhere, the overwhelming majority would swing into Employee-focused. Degreed, EdCast TXP are two perfect examples.
Schoox plans to expand on e-commerce, and since they already offer multi-tenant, multi-domain, and so forth, they will become the first TXP to cross into the customer ed segment. Thus, a combo – but more around mid to late 2022, early 2023.
In my top 10 rankings (out next week) you will see by each vendor’s name either (Employee, Customer, Combo) – this will tell you which of the categories they slide in.
If you use FindAnLMS.com, my learning system comparison platform, you can filter by employee, customer, to see the details, etc.
I’ve written quite a bit about pricing, and how it works in the industry. Behind the scenes is what we refer to as “bundled” and “range/band pricing”.
These pricing methods have been around since 2000, and their only change is the spin.
Always remember the golden rule – there are no refunds.
Monthly Active Users – The most popular price model in the industry
The term means “Monthly Active Users” and it is red hot in the learning system space.
Depending on how the vendor pitches it, will get you quite excited because it sounds so much like a pay-per-user aspect based on monthly use.
For me, it is a reminder of the three-card monte game, one could find on numerous street corners in NYC in the eighties.
Vendor says how many “active users” will be in the system in a given month?
Active user is defined as either a person who logs into the system for that month OR logs into the system and takes a piece of content (regardless of what it is, and regardless of if it is completed or not)
Typically, folks will base active user on one person who logs into the system at least once in a 12-month period.
With MAUs though, that is the wrong way to calculate because after all, why pay for an active user, who uses the system only once in June and you never see them again
That’s the kicker and part of the spin. It is alluring. It is enticing. It says “You are right”!
But (is there always a “But”)
Vendors who go MAU will always ask you – the total number of active users you are a projecting for the year (as defined as they have gone into the system, at least once over a given year). There are vendors who will ask what is your user base (regardless of ‘active or not”)
The “total projection” is the key
Your proposal will include two magical words ‘up to’ – which either appears right there with the total cost or down below in the text, which uh, most folks just look at the very big number.
I have 5,255 active users and identify active based on that person accessing the system at least one time in a given year.
The vendor says, “how many per month”. I am lucky because I have some data from my current system (I’m leaving them). The data says on average, the count is really 3,200.
The vendor then may say, “well, you really only have 267 active users per month” OR just re-state the 3,200. Why pay for folks who are not using the system?
Yeah, you are right. This is a great deal.
The vendor goes through their whole approach, and I listen. I’m thinking, I totally understand.
The proposal arrives. The cost for “Up to 5,225” is $85,000 USD. Seems like a good deal, because of the active user per month shtick that I have listened to over and over again.
You are paying “up to” – so whether or not you ever get to that total number doesn’t matter, because are are paying for the full active projection
One vendor goes with the MAU based on buckets of them. They will note they are completely different than others. Yet, they will ask the same thing – a total count. And when you get the quote it seems like they are – but if you go over the “bucket”, you pay for another bucket, and those seats in the bucket? Well, you may never reach that count”
The pricing that first came out in the industry (and is still very popular) is bundled pricing. The vendor asked how many seats you will need (they may have used a different term). You say I will need 5,255. The vendor would either quote you at 5,255 OR quote at 5,500 or 5,300 or whatever their range was (now called bands).
Then if you went over, no problem, they would sell you another bucket.
With bundled pricing, even if you never hit 5,525 users, you would still pay for that amount.
I know of only one vendor that goes MAU, that will invoice you each month for only those users – Eurekos. Every other vendor I run into, that goes MAU charges you either ahead of time (think about that for a second) or quarterly – depending on your negotiations. If they charge you ahead of time, then are they really monitoring your monthly? Because there are no refunds in this industry.
A few weeks back, I was on a call with a vendor who does MAUs. Even though I know how their pricing model works, and their pricing approach, I was getting confused over the MAU x Month angle. It is easy to fall into the trap. So, remember it is always about the total number on the proposal – which they will always ask.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some vendors start attaching a percentage increase in their contract for each year, under the guise of “inflation or some similar angle”. There are vendors who do this already and cite it as an offset for ongoing charges on their end. Always negotiate this off. When did the cost of living become a factor here? When you sign a contract, you lock in the price they agreed to – hence the point of a formal proposal. Make sure that is in the contract, a locked-in price.
Three Years is the way to go
A three-year contract is an appropriate way to go. It is the right amount of time, to get the full potential of the system, maximize its potential to your audience, market it effectively to your employees/customers to use it (I know shocking, huh?), and roll it out in terms of ROI.    THREE YEARS.   Not longer and not less.  Why?
You sign and dine. Then near the end of the year, you decide to renew and sign longer, an additional hassle, more problems, potentially higher costs, and really you have other things to build and grow upon – even with the LMS, but also other aspects of your training dept.
Two years: Cannot assess your ROI on this
How long did it take you to find your current LMS partner?  Right.
Longer than 3 years:  Risky
Your new BFF could be bought out and then what happens to you? Customer service-wise? Does the solution stay the same, features?  Also, from your standpoint, what if they make some changes or do some things and now you no longer want to go with the system but are locked into this long-term deal.
Use Case and Business Case
I see these as two different items.
A use case is crucial, and it says this is why I need this learning system. Here is what we want to accomplish. Here is what we want to achieve with our online learning for our employees, customers, members, etc. If you have a system and are seeking a new one, why? What challenges did it not solve? What were the problems?
Provide examples – scenarios of what an employee or whoever is the end-user will do in the system. If it is for customer education, they will be able to purchase X courses or a bundle and then blah blah. An employee might be – at a manager level they will need to do this and that, and then do this and that; versus a new employee who needs to do this or that, and so forth.
Be as detailed as you can. Ambiguity is what causes a lot of folks to pick the wrong system. A vendor is going by the use case. Some will come back asking for more details – that isn’t a bad thing unless it is the stuff you already gave them.
If you need a system to integrate with other systems you have – tell them the systems. They may need some documentation if the system is not known to them, have it ready to give them.
A business case is what the business wants to accomplish with training/learning. Business cases come in handy when you are selling your own content/courses or training to B2B or B2C, customer education, customer learning, partner training, and so forth. Associations that sell training, a business case is essential too.
If you are buying your learning system, for your employees, your business case may be that you want to increase sales by 35% and reduce incidents by 12%. The great thing about a business case is that it can be measured with a learning system.
If your business case is to make your training department a profit center, through online courses and vILT, okay, that starts it off. But how much do you want to generate? Be realistic, some folks shoot for the moon, which is great, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Or so I have been told.
Questions to ask during your Demo and things you can do and will seek prior to the demo
The number one reason why people hate and leave or hate and stay (yes, plenty do), is due to poor support and customer service. It is the reason why I established the first certification program in the industry around customer support/service. The program is rigorous and requires the vendor to provide data (twice a year), around key metrics, plus adhere to specific guidelines.
Here is a list of the vendors who are Customer Support Certified.
If you do not see your vendor, ask why. I know of vendors whose support is below par, and not surprisingly, they are not on the vendor list. The sad fact is that a vendor will always tell you they have great support. The challenge is how do you really know?
Here are the requirements for the Certification
Provide exceptional customer support and service
Maintain high ethical standards in sales, service, and business
Take care of customer’s needs and assistance in a timely fashion – this includes response times (no more than 120 minutes, during vendor’s business hours, daily follow-ups if applicable, providing the customer on how their queue works (in other words, what is considered low, medium and high).
Provides the customer with a customer support/service member or team. This person or group of folks will be the customer’s point of contact. Eliminating the game of “who can help me, where do I go” – a huge problem in the industry.
Provide twice a year, data that presents the following information: response times, follow-up, and the number of support calls.
Present twice a year, (i.e. every six months), the top five issues that have arisen (or they can present a list, and we can go through it), and the average amount of time to solve those issues.
Present twice a year, the average number of calls/emails in support compared to the number of clients.
Any vendor who says they do not capture or keep any data on their customer support is either misleading or if they truly do not, then, stay away. That screams bad business.
Proposals from the Vendor, Proposal from you
When seeking a proposal from a vendor, you will want what the industry refers to as a “formal proposal”
This is a proposal provided to you as a PDF file (normally) with graphics, and text, which includes some information about them, a listing of some clients, some marketing spin, features/functionality they want to highlight, the benefits for selecting them, and the formal pricing proposal. Some vendors go beyond this, but these are the basics.
Unless you ask, you may get an e-mail with the pricing in it, a word doc with pricing, an excel file with pricing, really it is all over the map. Vendors should include an SLA.
Sadly, many proposals are too generic, just cut and paste. A great proposal is one that says in the writing here is how we solve your problems/issues.
Pricing is itemized. Never assume the discount is there, you want to see it
Setup pricing (if applicable) is listed. What is included in the setup should be provided.
Support – what is included
If you said three years, then the proposal should show three years.
I have created two RFP/RFI templates, one for employees, the other for customer learning/education. I have pre-populated them, with “yes” indicating you want that feature in the system, maybe as ideally you should have it, but if not, don’t fret. The information contained in this template, can be used to find you the right learning system for your needs. I have found systems for folks, with similar templates (ones I developed), and those folks are still on those systems, even in some cases more than a decade. The skills tab contains various features and be aware that as a whole the industry is still in the infant stage around skills.
I recommend that when seeing skill features that you selected as wanting, and then the vendor says they have it, to show you the function in the system.
There are folks who will submit 60 pages in their RFP, with hundreds of questions around security. If the vendor is on AWS, the answers you will receive are on the AWS website. If you have more than eight pages for your RFP, you have too much and need to cut it down.
This is why I recommend the templates. Are they extensive? Absolutely. But there is no ambiguity here, and any vendor who wants your business will complete it.
With an RFP, always allow at least three weeks for a vendor to complete it. Give them a specific date and time to return it (make sure to provide your time zone). If they can’t meet the deadline, cut them. I mean three weeks, is more than enough time.
When you receive your RFP back from the prospective vendor, always check the following
Any misspellings or grammar errors? I mean spell check takes just a few minutes, and even Grammarly or similar can-do wonders. If they are not taking the time to check, do you want them to really be your BFF learning system provider?
Did the follow your directions? Again, if they didn’t, dump them.
Did they provide you back a formal proposal (if you requested it)? If not, dump them. This tells you they can’t follow instructions, nor care to – it is their way, not your way – and it always has to be YOUR WAY – when selecting a system.
I will be updating this guide, next week, by adding the top 20 learning systems vendors (just a list). I held back, because next week – the Top 10 will be published on the blog – next week, along with the supplement (available for purchase).
Two final thoughts here, for you to remember
a. Never tell the vendor your budget. NEVER. The price they will quote you initially is what we refer to as a street price or retail if you will. There are plenty of folks who never negotiate or if they do, they do a bit and then say, this works.
b. You are going to be with this vendor hopefully for a long time, make sure you know who you will select, and do not waiver. I see folks who say “I am going with X” after they have done their due dilgence, seen the demo, asked all the right questions, get back the formal proposal, negotiate, verify, and then stop. They debate again, and again, and again. Then they hear a new system came out, maybe that’s better. Or their CEO read about a system, maybe that is better. I’ve never seen anything good come out of this. You either know in your gut this is the right system,
#11 to #20 Learning Systems for 2022.
11. Biz Skills  – (Employee) If you want a game-changer, this is a system to check out. The first to fully skill map to every course/content in their library (over 5,000 – which comes with the system at no additional charge). And affordable no less.
12. D2L – (Combo) The corporate version, and the #1 Learning System for Associations in 2021. #1 Learning System for EdTech (K-12, Higher Education)
13. Juno Journey – (Employee) A TXP (which is a combo of talent development where Learning is the core, LXP features, Skills capabilities, e-learning course/content marketplace).  Their UI and UX are definitely different. I enjoyed the system quite a bit.  And yes, it has a career opportunities option too (an additional cost). Oh, and learners can select interests too, which is cool.  #1 Learning System in Israel, 2021.
14. Intellum – (Customer) The minimum user size they will accept is 4,500. They are one of only a handful of vendors in the industry that can do a massive, deep configuration (add-on cost).  The mobile app can be white labeled, which you want for customer education, err learning.  UI/UX is slick. Has skill capabilities, which is very unusual for a customer-focused system but makes sense when you are competing with combos who offer it.
15. Rockstar Learning Platform (Combo) – Robust learning system that taps into gaming with learning – whether it is gamification or for me, the whole game-based content. If they include Lectora Online as part of the suite, then it takes it up a notch. System worthy of a watch in 2022.
16. Eurekos – (Customer) A system to definitely watch in 2022. #1 Learning
System for the Nordic Region, 2021.  The website needs an overhaul.
17. Skilljar – (Combo) Anyway, solid system. UI/UX good.
18.  SAP Litmos – (Combo) UI/UX is solid, needs a revamp – think freshness on the admin side, and stronger metrics. That said, lots of functionality, with an option to have content/courses that are part of the system (a different pricing tier).  Not a fan of the SAP policy of requiring an SAP salesperson on the call with the SAP Litmos salesperson, when a prospect is interested only in SAP Litmos.  Is it the strangest thing I’ve ever heard of? Hmmm…
19.  LearnUpon – (Combo) Always a darling in the learning system space. A combo system, functionality, and capabilities are good. Pricing at 1,000 users per year, is a tad high – but not as high as Viva (HA!).  UI/UX is very good.
20. KREDO – (Combo) Probably the most affordable system on the market today, that has a nice UI/UX, with a modern and fresh look to it. Used to be pitched as a micro-learning platform, thankfully that is ending. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but what it does offer, is solid, and for an audience of say 50 to 1,000 users, sufficient.  #1 Learning System in India, 2021.

Turning back to the class, and flashing a smile that could rival any professional game show hostess’s, she picked up the edge of the pan and showed the end result, pointing out the perfect color and the firm set of the filling.
She drew a platter of already cut samples from the refrigerator behind her and started passing them around. Murmurs of approval broke out around the room as people ate.
When Piper passed in front of his table with the platter, Chad found it highly entertaining to see how carefully she avoided meeting his eyes. Her focus was locked on his hand while he chose a sliver of cheesecake for himself. Taking a bite, he was smiling when she moved on to the couple at the next table. She had no trouble interacting with them.
Shaking his head, he brushed aside his momentary sadness and refocused on the reason he lingered in this dark parking lot. He was still amazed at how the evening had shifted on him.
Thinking back, Chad couldn’t help but chuckle at how he’d been swept out the door with the rest of the class only to return afterward and find the door locked. Oh well, this was better anyway. The setting was certainly more conducive to romance. Or it was if you were moved by a starry sky. He wondered at his chances of persuading her to join him for coffee or a drink tonight. Freed from his dinner engagement he was open, very open, to hanging out with her for a while.
Ten years. Could it really be ten years since he’d felt a spark like this? He thought back and saw Chelsea all over again. It was the same for them, their immediate attraction sizzling and mutual. Chad believed in love at first sight. He’d experienced it.
A heavy steel door slammed closed and he turned. The reverberations echoed across the dark parking lot and faded into the night. He straightened up, all of his senses, every muscle in his body, at attention. It was her. She crossed the parking lot, moving out of shadow, through spots of light, and back into shadow again. Every brief glimpse was as tantalizing as a striptease and set Chad’s heart racing. He was astounded at how just the sight of her thrilled him.
Fine, she’d taken a self-defense class—once. She ought to know what to do if it came to that—hopefully.

“What we have is the latest more sophisticated manifestation of a form of identity theft in the sense that we’ve detected Get Transcript application,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinhat unauthorized access ran from February to May. The Get Transcript application gets you previous filings of tax returns. To try to get through to get that transcript, the criminals had to already have stolen available and then they had to have enough personal information for each taxpayer to be able to get through the personal-related questions, the so-called ‘out of wallet questions.’”
“For the 23 million people who successfully downloaded their transcripts, we have a balance there of making sure they can continue, properly authenticated, to have access to those transcripts without having to either get them in person or call us and have them mailed to them,” said Koskinen. “That’s the situation we are facing. It is clear, as our criminal investigators note, their estimate is 80 percent of the identity theft and refund fraud we’re dealing with, and this is just another example.  I would stress that this in no way has anything to do with our basic tax-filing system, the data that we have that we collected from 150 million people this year. All of that is secure. This is a single application that you have to have a lot of information to be able to try to access.”
He pointed out that this is not technically a security breach, since the IRS’s basic information is still secured, but it’s a modified form of identity theft, giving the criminals enough data to impersonate the taxpayer.
“Since learning of the breach, the committee has been working with the IRS to better understand the nature of the attack, what information was compromised, and how such a devastating breach could occur,” Hatch said in a statement Tuesday. “Tat’ The first order of business is for the federal government to determine who was behind the attack and take aggressive action against them. Secondly, we must determine what information was stolen and how it will affect taxpayers. Finally, thebetter protect taxpayer information from cyber threats. Taxpayers must know that the information they send to the IRS is secure. And hackers who would steal that information must know that theyHouse Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., also released a statement upon learning of the IRS data breach. “While  situation, it’s ded,” said Ryan. “Protecting the taxpayer is supposed to be the IRS’s top priority, and we need answers from them.”
Re had also been briefed by Koskinen about the data breach. “I’ve been briefed by Commissioner Koskinen on Friday and again today, and he has expressed his strongest commitment to protecting taxpayer information,” Levin said in a statement. “He conveye notification of taxpayers is underway. The commissioner also assured me that the IRS is reviewing its systems to get to the bottom of how an organized criminal syndicate was able to use taxpayer information stolen from non-IRS sources to access taxpayer data in the ‘Get Transcript’ system. It is important that members of Congress work together to ensure that the IRS has adequate resources to carry out the vital priority of protecting confidential taxpayer information.”

Reports from the field indicate that the road to the boondocking spot just up from Poncha Springs where I parked in 2015 is no longer pleasantly passable for a rig the size of the Winnie. The road was rough, rutted and potholed when I drove it three years ago, but others more brave than I deemed it “even worse now.”
This leaves even fewer boondocking options than ever in the popular Salida area. Good time to try out my new subscription to “Boondockers Welcome.”
Since Boondockers Welcome is involving people to people interaction, I think it would be good to have a profile of sorts for both parties to complete…voluntarily of course. Something along the lines of “Are you an early riser, or do you prefer quiet time in the mornings?” “On the social scale, are you a social butterfly, or do you prefer to slither down the driveway unnoticed?” “Are you more like the Gornicke’s in the movie ‘RV,’ or will they describe you posthumously like they do most serial killers, ‘She was always quiet and kept to herself.” If you fall into the latter category, then Boondockers Welcome might not be the place for you. 😉
Coming from Gunnison over Monarch Pass on my way to Salida, I stop at the pass for a hike.
This trail overlaps the Continental Divide Trail. I ran into a couple of thru-hikers along the trail.
Nice views as the trail approaches treeline.
My time at “Cabin on the Creek” in Salida was lovely. I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome if I had paid for a room at a nice B&B. I enjoyed trading stories of travel with the interesting hosts and their other guests, and fell asleep to the soft sounds of the creek running nearby. I was even invited to share a meal, for which I contributed a nice bottle of wine. They were more earlier risers than I am, but no hard feelings for the 7:20am knock on the door, and I hope there were no hard feelings at my respectfully declining in my pajamas. LOL!  That’s why I am saying knowing one’s preferences up front could prevent either party from feeling awkward.
Will I try Boondockers Welcome again? Possibly. But I confess, I am a bit puzzled by it still. Going in, I thought it was just a place to park. But after my first experience, I see it can be much more if both parties are engaged. But if I am not up to reciprocating with the same level of engagement, will I come across as rude? Or worse yet, allow myself to feel guilt? Where are the boundaries? I suspect they are different with every encounter. That’s why I think a little “Getting to Know You” profile would be helpful.
My best beer advisors, Jim and Gayle, recommend the Soulcraft Coconut Milk Stout. They’ve yet to lead me astray.
As with so many cool downs, “A river runs through it.”
Following the 1888 fire, the town ordinance enforced that all buildings be made of brick.

Curecanti and the Black Canyon; The Rim, The River, and The Ride
Posted on September 21, 2015 by Suzanne
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is only a small part of the 48 mile long gorge, carved over 2-billion years by the mighty Gunnison River, a tributary of the Colorado River.   The National Park protects the steepest and deepest 14-mile stretch of the gorge.    The park is bracketed on both ends by recreational areas; Gunnison Gorge to the west, and the larger Curecanti National Recreation Area the east.  Curecanti is formed by a series of three dams; Blue Mesa Dam, Morrow Point Dam, and Crystal Dam, each creating reservoirs of the same name.  The largest of these is Blue Mesa Reservoir, Colorado’s largest body of water.

Crested Butte has been on my radar for two reasons.  One being more reconnaissance in a “ski town.”  Like Telluride, it was a destination discussed often, but two traits of my former husband that factored equally; being cheap and being repetitious.  So we never broke out of the Ski the Summit/Utah mode.

Andy has a lot of things to sort out caused by some of this negativity.. I have witnessed some of this recently and he worked hard to sort it out
Say what you are going to say but think about it first....  instead of taking a negative approach think "key points for improvement" as this is a way of sorting things out pro-actively rather than " if it doesn't improve I will scream and scream until I am sick!"
There is a 'follow this topic' box on each page if you're using the full website
At the risk of yet another moan ... that button (actually a link) doesn't work. This has been the case since an update to the software long ago and remains unfixed. (It did originally work!) It, and a few other less important "buttons", just does nothing yet the majority of the links and "buttons" work just fine. It just has to be a programming error - as it is an inconsistency - and just annoys.
Kenton, must be something up as it works for me.... just check out how many you are trying to follow as this does seem to affect it.
It's not just topics about manufacturers, it can be anything from X Factor to opinions about the monarchy.
Is this perhaps a disguised perennial call for the abolition of Wheeltappers
And no, I don't wish to see it axed. But that is because I have been around here long enough to appreciate the site for the community it is with all its good and bad points and somehow the good always bring me back (most days).
I also find some of the negativity amusing - even if the poster didn't quite mean it that way.
Posted 09 March 2015 - 09:52
'It's a lonely place at the top'. For the majority of us on here, we don't get to digest the majority of the negativity, either because we're not interested or we can ignore it and find something more interesting to read.
The point I'm making is that Andy, as Headmaster if you like, gets to see all the **** that goes on and has to deal with it accordingly, must wear him down some days. When you are in his position, it can seem like there is nothing other than whingers and whiners out there, but take heart as that these people are in the minority and the majority of the community enjoy RmWeb for what it is - a place to share and voice opinions.
Some negativity is good. If someone criticises my modelling, yes it can make you a bit downhearted but then that just makes me more determined to get it right next time. There are ways and means of doing this and for the majority, common sense prevails. Trolls get dealt with as Andy says and so do the few individuals who start to get personal, quite right too.
Don't get too down about it Andy, you do a great job on here as do all the mods. Today's another day and life goes on for us all.
I think we can all take a lesson from what Andy is saying. If you have something to say, just stop and think about how you are actually saying it. Like Mick says, the internet age has made it very easy for the keyboard warriors to easily just type away and hide behind their monitors - but I still think that these people are in the minority, fortunately.
For the rest of us, free speech is what makes this country great - just be careful how you voice those opinions. E-mails are a perfect exanple.
As Humans we are still hardwired for non-verbal communications to be an important part of a conversation. E-mails and any forums such as RmWeb remove that feature, so it can sometimes be extremely hard to understand the meaning behind a comment or an e-mail without having the benefit of having the person standing in front of you. I have seen it plenty of times at work, where someone has read an e-mail, become offended or angry and gone to find the sender and sort it out, only to find that it wasn't meant in the context in which they took it.
The only way for everyone to communicate on RmWeb is via the keyboard, so let's just try and hang fire on an immediate response and think as to how a reply or comment may be taken.......... after all, we are all on the same side here!
Posted 09 March 2015 - 09:57
Thanks, but I do know it works for the vast majority. I even know why it doesn't work - my javascript restrictions - but that doesn't explain why it used to work and then suddenly stopped and why other buttons work and other sites work. As most folk browse with gay abandon to security issues they will never witness the problem. Which is why the broken software goes unnoticed. So I'm left with the only option of making some (potentially negative ) post. Though even that seems to be uncertain. Perhaps there is a limit as well?

Rum old hobby is model railways & rmweb
Some will never couple to each other, however you try, there are tension locks (!), horn hooks, 3 links and kadees amongst us
Some whine like a pair of Lima Deltics at full chat with 15 on
Some stall at a certain point and no amount of prodding will get em going
Some come from a true blue box, some are a bit lefty from a red box
Some are chip fitted (on the shoulder in some cases), most are straight DC, some need a good winding up regularly (as they are clockwork) and one or two I think are AC/DC
Some are old, some are new, some are borrowed, some are (rail) blue
Some are always on track, some derail at the slightest unevenness and go off at a tangent
Some moan and groan like an unlubricated Bachmann WD
Then we have the great "Andy" appearing from the sky, the almighty, who has the power to re-rail you, banish you to a siding, remove you to the stockbox, or heaven forbid, dismember you completely or flog you off on flea-bay !!!
Hang on, I've lost my "train" of thought, am I talking about rmweb, or my model railway in the loft !!!!!!!!!
Have fun, keep cool

I'd like to think that most folk on here have a primary interest in railway modelling (in at least any one of its guises) and as such visit to see what is happening on layouts, kits, rtr and any one/many of its associated forums. After that they follow the latest news, some prototype info and the associated discussions. Finally it is the social nature of the forum that interests (the danger area perhaps) because that is where real people interact agree and yes disagree. I am sure that this perceived negativity is not confined to Wheeltappers but is surely more prevalent there?
Some Wheeltappers threads (I don't look at many so I might be getting the balance wrong) seem to be some of the most positive places on the forum.
In general I can understand that sometimes we might have a  negative opinion or feeling about something or, in reality more pertinently, a negative consequence but there are ways & means to put that over and there isn't really very often a need to come across as a moaning minnie.  However what does tend to irritate me, even more so as I get that better older, are those bold statements presented as fact in an extremely negative fashion but are really no more than ignorant totally uninformed opinion which bear little or no resemblance to the reality or actuality of what took place, what something is like, or how it works - on a sort of 'enter as appropriate basis'.  It might be excusable if someone presented something in a helpful and positive way but when they are clearly just moaning and spouting nonsense I really wonder why they are doing so.
We all like to present our point of view but could we perhaps stop and think before hitting the 'Post' button and maybe even go so far as checking the facts?  I never cease to be amazed by the appearance on the 'net (not just RMweb - although it does happen here) of total rubbish when original factual information or documents, not Wikirubbish, are readily available on the 'net if you bother to look for them.
I like to think that as a pessimist I will never be disappointed and often surprised but if I were an optimist I would often be disappointed and only occasionally get what I expect. Hohum
Oh and never be surprised

Some days, RMweb looks like a 'Letters Page' for the disgruntled RTR buyer.
Posted 09 March 2015 - 10:35
I just love the negative stuff. There's still nothing in model railway hobbydom quite at the pitch of the fondly remembered Electric Nose to enliven my day. But I live in hope.
...Don't get me wrong. In the "old days", people would take the time to write a letter if they felt strongly enough about a particular subject and because it took effort, that letter was given due regard. Now we can all be internet warriors and simply type and send without proper thought and regard for those actions...
This is the coming world, like it or not. Everybody's opinion can get exposure, and 'we' have to learn to deal with it. Historical reference time: the 'internet' (read as modern comms capability) which makes 'everyman' a publisher, is as large a change to the world as the coming of printing, which made 'everyman' a reader. There were fears back then about what all this reading would mean, (and savage attempts at repression of that development) but taken overall, I believe the verdict on universal reading has been favourable; and have no reason to believe that this present transformation in communication capability will ultimately be any different.
But the world will change as a result. As great a change as the transformation from the late medieval to the 'modern' period that universal reading brought about? Oh yes. Will it be comfortable? No. Thus the famed Chinese curse 'May you live in interesting times'.

I must admit I've taken a break from posting on this forum a couple of times due to what I perceive as excessive negativity. I come on here to interact in a positive manner with like-minded modellers. If coming on here isn't a positive experience for me, then I have enough hassle in my everyday life thanks, and I'll go elsewhere or just go back to being a solo modeller.
I think as many posters have said there is a way of saying things and also a need to check your facts before you say something. I also find it hard to believe how heated debates can become, not about religion or politics or subjects like that, but about 00 vs. P4, red boxes vs. blue boxes, etc. It's hard to believe sometimes that, barring the relatively few people on here who do it for a living, this is a hobby we're all in purely for the sake of enjoyment.
I have at times been critical of Hornby on here in recent years, but whenever I've said anything critical it has always been backed up with hard evidence based on my own frustrating experiences. I don't see anything wrong with that kind of negativity as long as it is presented objectively and doesn't become excessive. What I do get frustrated over is the inability of some to accept another person's viewpoint and not to "have to have the last word". I was involved in a thread a while back about the value of lighting in coaches. There were completely diametrically opposed views on that threat, yet the banter remained both friendly and enlightening throughout. That's the way it should be in my view.
The “famed Chinese curse ‘May you live in interesting times’ has no factual source in China. It is apocryphal.
There is really nothing anywhere close - though Wiki quotes “better to live as dog in a time of peace than a man in times of war”.
Perhaps if everyone kept to facts than the world would seem better. No offense meant to you "34 the etc., etc."
Posted 09 March 2015 - 10:51
I have read the thread thoroughly and after careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that all the posters are right and everyone has done a jolly good job of justifying their respective points of view.
Have a really fruitful, hearty and congenial day that fills you with feelings of enormous well being

It felt like that on Saturday when Minerva announced their first O gauge RTR loco.   We were hardly past the first page when folk were posting 'Nice, but I would like xx' or 'Can I have a yy please?'.  The fact of the matter is that no RTR announcement will ever satisfy everybody. One of the partners in this new venture has a proven track record of delivering a quality product, on time and at a competitive price.  He has also previously stated elsewhere as to why 'xx' in particular is of no commercial interest.   I saw these comments as so negative against the positive announcement of a new development.  Somebody else had the sense to post 'No frothing please'.
I reach the point where I skip the posts of negativity.  Some folk have even been added to my 'Manage Ignore Prefs' list, I find their posts so tiresome. I have only been on here a couple of years, but sometimes I wonder why I bother.  But..., on the positive, such events as the annual SWAG exhibition bring out the best in folk.

Switch off RMWeb for a month.
Lets see if the world stops revolving.
Will the persistent malcontents find another outlet for their never ending angst ?
Will those who have promised new products have to do a bit of real marketing as opposed to lobbing the odd post on RMWeb?
Will those who constantly post up rubbish that has nothing to do with modelling start to think about the stupid topics they start or contribute to?
Will people start to realise what the M in RMWeb means?
Many of us saw this coming, its maybe time for members to consider whether RMWeb needs some major recalibration or if it is on a long slow lingering demise due to members just getting fed up with people who in a pub or other setting would avoid.

Perhaps if everyone kept to facts than the world would seem better.
Really? I think it would be dreadful. No literature, little music, very few model railways but, worst of all no opinions. That is surely what makes us individuals, and without difference in opinions there would be little point in conversation. Sorry Pete.

I don't think this is happening. I believe the vast majority of us when coming across some of these 'negative' posts just think 'yeh, yeh, heard it all before' and move on or ignore it completely.
As for being negative, I have a rule I apply whenever something annoys me. I think what it would be like if I lived in Eastern Ukraine, or Syria or Northern Iraq. Or if I had just been given the news that someone close to me had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. It soon puts into perspective the insignificance of being wound up by someone here or not being able to get the RTR model I wanted, in the timeframe I wanted at the price I wanted. It's a frame of mind thing.

It felt like that on Saturday when Minerva announced their first O gauge RTR loco.   We were hardly past the first page when folk were posting 'Nice, but I would like xx' or 'Can I have a yy please?'. ...
There is something similar happening on an APT-E thread, where people seem to be getting positively tetchy that a manufacturer has so far, inexplicably, failed to release the dimensions that they need to know, right now, in order to plan their layout properly.They are now using bold type and italic and underlining, just so everyone knows how important this issue is.
The fact that the manufacturer may have other things to do doesn't seem to occur to them.
Meanwhile, someone seems to be estimating to the nearest one hundredth of a millimeter how much overhang there will be from the APT's nose on 2nd radius curves. Really?
We do all get a bit carried away sometimes. Personally, I yearn for the simpler days when I could just click "disagree" before moving serenely on...

There's a great deal of humour to be gleaned from these posts though...me, I just imagine the curmudgeonly old s*d behind the 'i'd like to moan about the cantrail colour on Bachornbyitrains latest 37', laugh, shrug my shoulders and move on.
One thing is for sure though...everyone is entitled to an opinion on who I am, what I think, what I write or what I opine. The trick is, in my opinion, not to let it bother you, act as above, don't retaliate.
Just think that they are a complete tw*t.......

.....I'm always grateful to those with a more detailed knowledge than myself who actually point out errors in models, as it isn't possible to have a thorough knowledge of all stock required for a layout and I always want to know of any shortcomings before parting with cash, even if I still decide to buy. In the past I've pre-ordered new releases but known instinctively that something isn't right from the moment that they arrive, or else I've read about a dimensional error e.g. the Heljan 33/0 roof profile once I've ordered my own (committed the cash). Is it negative to know/share knowledge of issues/defects in models before you or others buy them? I don't think so. If manufacturers don't want to see/hear such criticisms then the answer is simple....make better products.
As for threads/posts which contain whining/negativity just for the sake of it, I vote with my feet and simply ignore such content. Everyday life contains excessively negative people so why should RMWeb be any different?


”Now let us apply this historical background to a factual scenario. We are in the time period after the Constitution is adopted in 1787. A man is born in a British colony as a British "natural born subject." He comes to America just to study, with the intent to return to that British colony upon completion of his studies. While in America, he impregnates an American citizen. The two then marry and have a child who, let us assume for sake of argument, is born in one of the United States in 1961. The British man then finishes his studies and goes back to his native land, leaving both his wife and son in America. The wife eventually divorces this man.
Every constitutional amendment has its own meaning and value and must be interpreted and understood in


When researchers looked at data on nearly 2,000 seniors -- 258 with pneumonia, and 1,686 without -- they found that the patients on antipsychotic meds were twice as likely to get sick.
The higher the dosage, the higher the risk,
But let's face facts here, because that's not the only way these drugs shorten lives.
These are dangerous meds for even the healthiest of people... but force a senior to take them and you're practically killing him yourself -- especially if he didn't need them in the first place.
And believe me, he almost certainly didn't need these meds in the first place. One study last year found that some 80 percent of seniors on these meds don't need them -- and I'd say that's being generous.
Most of the seniors who get these meds live in institutions. The ones that dish out steady doses of antipsychotic meds do so for one reason only: to create quiet, complacent, non-demanding zombified seniors who can be monitored by the smallest possible staff while the owners cash insurance checks.
If you have loved ones in a joint like this, get them the heck out now. If that's not an option, at the very least you need to keep tabs on what drugs they're being given, and why.

Which wasn’t that interesting for DIYers, as most of the hardware was strongly off-the-shelf stuff. Recently however, IFTTT added something for us: a Maker Channel.
This allows you to connect IFTTT to your personal projects. You can now write recipes that can be triggered by one of your own projects, like a network-connected Arduino, or Raspberry Pi. You can also send messages to a network-connected Arduino directly from IFTTT, and triggered by any existing service. Here’s how.
with an optional JSON body consisting of up to three values, or strings, to be passed on to the action in your recipe. Since you can trigger this event with something as simple as curl from a command line this is a really powerful lever, because that makes it really trivial to trigger an IFTTT recipe from a Raspberry Pi, or even from a networked Arduino.
With the new Maker Channel it’s actually now pretty easy to do that, we can create a recipe that fires a Maker Web Request to a remote service. The service in turn can turn around and use the Maker Channel to trigger different IFTTT actions, or even more than one action<title>Maker Channel" echo "</title>" secret_key="SECRET_KEY" string=$IFS IFS='=&' param=($QUERY_STRING) IFS=$string echo "
${param[0]} = ${param[1]}
" curl{secret_key} echo "
" curl{secret_key} echo ""
As you can see this script simply calls two further IFTTT recipes that I’ve set up on the service. The first toggles my Blink(1) on to let me know it’s raining.
But, since the rain outside makes my home office gloomy, the next call turns one of my Belkin WeMo switches on, the one connected to my desk lamp.
Now obviously in this case I could have just as easily set up two separate recipes that triggered on the first event — that it had started raining — one to turn my Blink(1) on, the other to turn my desk lamp on. But remember, this was just a proof of concept.
Now what I did above was horribly insecure, I basically exposed to the world a script — a web application in other words — that could toggle a switch controlling a light in my house


Paul Curzon gave a talk at the Computing At School North East conference this morning and judging from the tweets (see below) it seems that people enjoyed themselves. Paul uses magic and audience participation to demonstrate fun and easy ways of introducing programming topics into the classroom and delivers a series of free workshops for London teachers.
This book is published by cs4fn (Computer Science for Fun) in partnership with Teaching London Computing (TLC) and CHI+MED. TLC is funded by the Mayor of London andhas enabled us to send copies to schools of this booklet beyond London. It is also supported by Computing At School. Click on the picture for more information.
This booklet was produced as part of the Teaching London Computing activities and has been used in one of our free workshops. It highlights how computational thinking can help people, for example in speeding up tasks, but also focuses on remembering when it’s appropriate to use technological solutions and when it isn’t.

Home » Entertainment » Deepika Padukone’s Padmaavat coming to Amazon Prime on March 27 2018
Padmthe first blockbuster of the year, it is also the 10th highest grossing Indian movies overseas. Now, the people who had not been able to watch the movie unfortunately due to the unfair ban on the screening of the film in Rajasthan and Gujarat, will be able to see it on March 27 2018, as it will become available to stream online through Amazon Prime. The movie has been praised for its visuals and Deepika and Ranveer Singh’s performances, so anyone who is interested in seeing what the drama was all about can easily check it out, without any fear of being attacked by goons.
All the songs from the movie have been released, including the unseen NainoWale Ne which is sung by Neeti Mohan and the full version of Ghoomar, which became a worldwide hit, even though the makers had to cover Deepika’s midriff with CGI.
And beauty triggered it all… #PadmaavatOnAmazon March 27th. @filmpadmaavatm/aXkSl5T9mA

Yes, after all this time, I'm still around. *L* I can't believe we've been here a week, and I still haven't posted this!
The second day, we rented a truck and moved furniture. Thankfully, Dh was able to get the day off. I can't say enough how much I appreciate my big, strong, burly husband!He was truly amazing!Yeah, the girls and I busted our butts, too, but nothing like he was able to do!I couldn't believe it when he simply picked up Eldest's antique pedal push sewing machine and walked it up the front steps. Those things are friggin' heavy!
Renting the truck was an adventure in itself. We had the elevator booked from 2-4 in the afternoon, but were set to pick up the truck at U-haul at noon. All we wanted was a 10 footer. It's a good thing we went to pick it up so early!First, they couldn't find a key for the truck that had been reserved for us. Then, they were going to replace it with a 27 footer. !I don't know that a truck that big would even fit where we needed to park to unload. In the end, it wasn't an issue, as the guy dealing with us was over ruled and couldn't give us a bigger truck. Instead, he had to get the one 10 ft truck they had left. The reason it was still there?
We were actually able to get the elevator a half hour early, and boy did we need it!
Why it is that, no matter how much you pack, there always seems to be more?
The girls were such an incredible help. Eldest, who was in pretty rough shape herself, having been helping her father the most with the loading and unloading of the truck (all that weight lifting she and Dh had been doing for the past few months sure came in handy!
In the morning, Dh and Eldest went back to the apartment for the move-out inspection. There was no way I was going to make it in!
So by Sunday afternoon, we were completely free and clear of the apartment!
Dh had recovered rather well physically, having been so careful in regards to his back and knee problems. Unfortunately, he still ended up missing work. He'd made it in on the Monday, but by Tuesday, he'd come down with a vicious cold. Three days later, it was even worse!
The only downside I'm finding is my own physical issues. I had expected my arm to be a concern, but it is feeling really great, even after lugging stuff around for 3 days. What I didn't expect was for my knees to be as much a problem as they are. I've long had troubles going down stairs, but since the move, it's been worse. I find myself having to go down stairs turned sideways, taking each step one at a time while bracing myself on the wall and rail because of the pain in my knees. Painkillers don't seem to be helping any. The noises coming out of my knees these days are nothing short of spectacular, too!I can't seem to move them at all without all sorts of crackling, popping and snapping sounds. It would be amusing, if it didn't hurt so much atGranted, it's been wors...


The  functions  in the printf family produce output according to a format as described below. The functions printf and vprintf write output
to stdout, the standard output stream; fprintf and vfprintf write output to the	given  output  stream;	sprintf,  snprintf,  vsprintf  and
vsnprintf write to the character string str.
The  functions  vprintf,  vfprintf,  vsprintf,  vsnprintf are equivalent to the functions printf, fprintf, sprintf, snprintf, respectively,
except that they are called with a va_list instead of a variable number of arguments. These functions do not call the va_end macro.  Conse-

The arguments must correspond properly (after type promotion) with the conversion specifier. By default, the  arguments	are  used  in  the
order  given,  where each `*' and each conversion specifier asks for the next argument (and it is an error if insufficiently many arguments
are given).  One can also specify explicitly which argument is taken, at each place where an argument is required, by writing `%m$' instead

gaps  in  the  numbers of arguments specified using `$'; for example, if arguments 1 and 3 are specified, argument 2 must also be specified
For some numeric conversions a radix character (`decimal point') or thousands' grouping	character  is  used.  The  actual  character  used
depends on the LC_NUMERIC part of the locale. The POSIX locale uses `.' as radix character, and does not have a grouping character.  Thus,

(by prefixing a 0 if it was not zero already).  For x and X conversions, a non-zero result has the string `0x' (or `0X' for  X  con-
versions)  prepended  to it.  For a, A, e, E, f, F, g, and G conversions, the result will always contain a decimal point, even if no
digits follow it (normally, a decimal point appears in the results of those conversions only if a digit follows).  For g and G  con-

in the initial state before the first wide character), up to and including a terminating null wide character. The  resulting  multi-

The glibc implementation of the functions snprintf and vsnprintf conforms to the C99 standard, i.e.,  behaves  as  described  above,  since
glibc version 2.1. Until glibc 2.0.6 they would return -1 when the output was truncated.
The  fprintf,  printf,  sprintf,  vprintf,  vfprintf, and vsprintf functions conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'') and ISO/IEC 9899:1999
(``ISO C99'').  The snprintf and vsnprintf functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999.
Concerning the return value of snprintf, the SUSv2 and the C99 standard contradict each other: when snprintf is	called	with  size=0  then
SUSv2  stipulates  an  unspecified  return  value less than 1, while C99 allows str to be NULL in this case, and gives the return value (as
always) as the number of characters that would have been written in case the output string has been large enough.
Linux libc4 knows about the five C standard flags.  It knows about the length modifiers h,l,L, and the conversions cdeEfFgGinopsuxX,  where
F  is a synonym for f.  Additionally, it accepts D,O,U as synonyms for ld,lo,lu.  (This is bad, and caused serious bugs later, when support
for %D disappeared.) No locale-dependent radix character, no thousands' separator, no NaN or infinity, no %m$ and *m$.
Linux libc5 knows about the five C standard flags and the ' flag, locale, %m$ and *m$.  It knows about the length modifiers h,l,L,Z,q,  but
accepts	L and q both for long doubles and for long long integers (this is a bug).  It no longer recognizes FDOU, but adds a new conversion
Unix V7 defines the three routines printf, fprintf, sprintf, and has the flag -, the width or precision *, the length modifier l,  and  the
conversions doxfegcsu, and also D,O,U,X as synonyms for ld,lo,lu,lx.  This is still true for BSD 2.9.1, but BSD 2.10 has the flags #, + and
<space> and no longer mentions D,O,U,X.	BSD 2.11 has vprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf, and warns not to use D,O,U,X.  BSD 4.3 Reno has the flag
0,  the	length	modifiers  h and L, and the conversions n, p, E, G, X (with current meaning) and deprecates D,O,U.  BSD 4.4 introduces the
functions snprintf and vsnprintf, and the length modifier q.  FreeBSD also has functions asprintf and vasprintf,  that  allocate  a  buffer

Geography-wise, powered by the U.S., North America is the most lucrative region which poised to attract a revenue of US$776.3 mn by the end of 202211
Rising Pool of Targeted Patients Likely to Require Further Treatment Augments Demand
Theis fuelled by a number of factors, among which the rising incidence of cerebrovascular disorders is a prominent one. The World Health Organization has identified cerebrovascular accident or stroke to be the world’s second leading cause for death.
Apart from this, technological advances, increasing healthcare spending in emerging economies, favorable medical reimbursement scenarios,thrombectomy are some other prominent factors driving this market’s growth.
Acquisition of specialized clinics for thrombectomy by tier-1 hospitals is another growth trend coming to the fore in the global thrombectomy devices market. This is helping to boost patient care management for the specialized training received by staff, nurses, and physicians at tier-1multi-specialty ho11
Further, risingechnological advances leading to the advent of laser and UV radiation are some other key factors augmenting the demand for thrombectomy devices.
Lack of Skilled Surgeons Hinders Growth
Despite a number of favorable factors, the thrombectomy devices market faces growth challenges as well. Stringent regulatory scenario for approval of thrombectomy devices, lack of skilled and experienced surgeons, low level of awareness regarding newest treatments for peripheral vascular diseases, ill-effects of thrombectomy devices, and increasing number of product recalls are some of the key growth challenges faced by the global thrombectomy devices market.
