  • Merganser in the Hebrides 2018
    Merganser in the Hebrides 2018 Not counting the voyage from Tollesbury to Ardrossan on the back of a truck we travelled 1200 miles through the inner and Outer Hebrides in May, June, July and August 2018. ‘We’ comprised my wife Liz and I, the true boat-dog Jester and a series of friends for a week here and there. Merganser, a Haines 340 offshore motorboat proved the perfect boat for the trip. A displacement cruiser capable of 18 knots but giving us 400+ range at 8 knots, she had spent her previous few years as a flat in St Katharine’s Dock, hence the family nickname ‘The Sitting Duck’! With two Yanmar diesel engines, generator, 2 double cabins, two bathrooms, 2 large holding tanks, heater, sheltered steering position in a Bimini upstairs and panoramic views from inside the saloon she could hardly have been more perfect for a meander around the Scottish NW. All this and only 1.2m draft allowing access to all the most sheltered nooks and crannies. We chased the truck up the A1 on May 14th and finally caught up the next day just as Merganser was kissing the water in Ardrossan marina at the mouth of the Clyde. After a day of the usual preparation and making sure we had enough stores to be independent out in the islands we set off to Arran. Almost as we left Ardrossan the wind dropped away and the sun came out...it was the start of the amazing weather and, with hindsight, we could not have been luckier with the timing of our ‘sabbatical’! Before going further, it is probably worth setting the scene a little more.

  • The Impact of Computerized Agents on Immediate Emotions, Overall Arousal and Bidding Behavior in Electronic Auctions
    To appear in Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) 1 Institute of Information Systems and Marketing (IISM) The Impact of Computerized Agents on Immediate Emotions, Overall Arousal and Bidding Behavior in Electronic Auctions Timm Teubnera,* , Marc T. P.Adamb, Ryan Rioardanc a Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany b University of Newcastle, Australia c Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT The presence of computerized agents has become pervasive in everyday live. In this paper, we examine the impact of agency on human bidders’ affective processes and bidding behavior in an electronic auction environment. In particular, we use skin conductance response and heart rate measurements as proxies for the immediate emotions and overall arousal of human bidders in a lab experiment with human and computerized counterparts. Our results show that computerized agents mitigate the intensity of bidders’ immediate emotions in response to discrete auction events, such as submitting a bid and winning or losing an auction, as well as the bidders’ overall arousal levels during the auction. Moreover, bidding behavior and its relation to overall arousal are affected by agency: whereas overall arousal and bids are negatively correlated when competing against human bidders, this relationship is not observable for computerized agents. In other words, lower levels of agency yield less emotional behavior. The results of our study have implications for the design of electronic auction platforms and markets that include both human and computerized actors. Keywords: agency; auctions; e-commerce; NeuroIS; emotions; arousal; human-computer interaction 1 Introduction ing many of these tasks. As markets have automated and j increased their operating speeds, so have the participants in Information technology has revolutionized markets.

  • Transcur Forestay in This Issue
    East Coast Old Gaffers Association Newsletter Aug ‘09 August 2009 Issue 80 Transcur Many readers will have heard that Transcur, area president Peter Thomas’s lovely smack, sank at her moorings on the Orwell sometime over the weekend 11th/12th July. Transcur was built in Brightlingsea in 889 and was comprehensively rebuilt by Peter over a number of years. The good news is that Transcur was quickly raised by a professional salvage team, then taken ashore at Pin Mill where a vast band of helpers, including many Dutch visitors, set to and stripped out and cleaned the interior. Miraculously, the engine restarted, but there is still an enormous amount of work to be done. However, Peter is confident she will be performing as usual in the August Classics Cruise. Transcur is probably most famous for her appearance in Frank Mulville’s book ‘Terschelling Sands’, where she was very nearly lost off the Dutch coast as a result of a navigational error. It is ironic that after 20 active years, she should succumb to something as mundane as a defective skin fitting. Forestay The sailing events so far this year have been well supported, with a number of new boats making their appearance. New faces are always welcome, but the arrival of new boats can sometimes Transcur make your committee scratch its collective head and spend time exploring the very ethos of the Old Gaffer movement. In this Issue Let me explain; the OGA was formed to ‘encourage interest in traditional gaff rig’ and to organise races for gaff rigged boats.
