Cast: Sandra Bullock (Gracie Hart), Michael Caine (Victor Melling), Benjamin Bratt (Eric Matthews), Candice Bergen (Kathy Morningside), William Shatner (Stan Fields), Ernie Hudson (McDonald), John DiResta (Agent Clonsky), Heather Burns (Cheryl "Rhode Island"), Melissa De Sousa (Karen "New York"), Steve Monroe (Frank Tobin), Deirdre Quinn (Mary Jo "Texas"), Wendy Raquel Robinson (Leslie "California").
Crew: Donald Petrie (director), Sandra Bullock (producer), Marc Lawrence and Katie Ford and Caryn Lucas (writers), Ed Shearmur (music), Laszlo Kovacs (cinematography), Billy Weber (editor), Peter Larkin (production designer).
This screwball comedy was created in 1999 as a vehicle for producer/actress Sandra Bullock. Donald Petrie was brought on board as director, having previous helmed hits like Mystic Pizza (1988) and Grumpy Old Men (1993). Caine was hired to play gay beauty pageant consultant Victor Melling soon after receiving his Oscar nomination as best supporting actor for The Cider House Rules (1999). 'I couldn't refuse working with Sandra Bullock,' he told Variety.
He started work on the $45 million movie in May 2000, soon after finishing his performance as the lead in Shiner (2000). The bulk of Miss Congeniality was shot in Austin, Texas, with brief location work in San Antonio and New York. Caine studied with a Texan pageant expert for his role as Victor and also sought tips from wife Shakira, who came third in the 1967 Miss World contest. The picture reunited Caine with Candice Bergen, with whom he had co-starred more than thirty years earlier in The Magus (1968). The actor predicted significant success for Miss Congeniality. 'It's very funny. I think it will be a great vehicle for Sandra,' he told Variety just before the picture opened.
The film was released across America in December 2000, rated PG-13. Reviews were mixed but Miss Congeniality became a Christmas hit at the box office, grossing more than $105 million – the biggest hit of Caine's career at that time. This success was echoed around the world. In Britain the 12-rated movie opened in March 2001 and grossed more than $15 million. It was released on video and DVD later in the year. The DVD includes two commentary tracks, deleted scenes and documentaries. In 2002 some entertainment media reported work had already begun on a sequel in which Bullock's character would use her new-found beauty queen skills to become a model and hunt for a serial killer. Producers were reported to be hopeful of persuading Caine to reprise his role.
Verdict: Miss Congeniality is a lightweight film that amuses you while its happening, but doesn't stand up to any scrutiny. The movie wants to have its cake and eat it, scoring laughs from the baroque excesses of beauty pageants while still holding up the contestants as admirable for using their good looks to get ahead. The anorexic plot is just a vehicle for Bullock to exhibit her not inconsiderable comedic skills. Still, everyone hits their marks nicely, with Caine offering a delicate, understated performance as a disappointed gay man. Miss Congeniality is disposable fun – nothing more, nothing less.
Its better than stated here. Critics should take a page from Mr Caine's book and not take themselves so seriously. He is also not overqualified - he actually makes the movie work because the plot gains balance - it is not then just a vehicle for Sandra B. Only an actor of his stature could do that. And $45 million box office says many agree.


Contracts is an ancient, well-trodden area of the law, and contract cases rarely get to the Supreme Court. A recent case that might make it there concerns a move by General Motors (in dire financial straits at the time) to reduce the health and life insurance benefits of its non-union retirees.
The case is a class action, O'Neill v. General Motors of Canada, 2013 ONSC 4654, with the class consisting of over 3,000 retirees. There is a substantial amount of money at stake, as well as some interesting legal issues in interpreting informal contracts. General Motors has already announced that it will appeal the decision that Justice Belobaba made in favour of the plaintiffs.
These were not unionized employees, so there was never a formal written contract. The judge had to infer the contract by reading through the more than 260 brochures and information circulars distributed to employees over the decades. The court record quotes the effusive language of some of these, made when GM was rich and secure, promising their loyal employees gold-plated benefits for life.
As is often the case with contracts, one of the issues in dispute was a type of exclusion clause. A few of the documents (out of the 260) mentioned that GM reserved the right to change its benefits programs.
The judge found that, taken as a whole, the documents provided the retirees with a reasonable expectation that their benefits were guaranteed for life. GM's occasional disclaimers were few and far between, and vague. Given this finding, a number of legal principles worked against the defendant, starting with the contra proferentem rule, which weighs even more heavily in an employment contract.
Class counsel argued that this breach of contract finding should also apply to the salaried employee who had reached the prescribed age and years of service, and thereby became eligible to retire, but continued to work. Regrettably, given my interpretation of the ROR clause (i.e. changes can be made during active employment but not after the employee has actually retired), I am unable to include the retirement-eligible employees who continued working and whose benefits were reduced while they were still actively employed. (para 81).
In numerous benefit documents, beginning in at least the mid-1970's, GMCL reminded employees that the benefits represented a substantial cost to the company and were an important part of the "compensation from your job"; that "your benefits, in a very real sense, are a part of your compensation"; and that "the combined GM benefit plans add significantly to the total pay you receive for the work you do." (para 39).
For every day of work that has been done, part of the post-retirement benefits has been earned, on a quantum meruit basis, as deferred compensation. As a matter of contract, it should not be open to the employer to "reserve the right" to withdraw benefits that have already been earned. An employee who is 64 years old and has worked for 40 years but not yet retired has already earned most of the benefits that will be due after retirement.
Issues of this type will loom large in the coming years as the forces of global competition press employers to cut back on their compensation costs.
Outside the public service, only a small and diminishing share of Canadian employees is covered by formal union contracts. The way that the courts interpret the informal contracts that govern the employment relationship has a very significant impact on the economic well-being of employees and the rights of employers. It will be interesting to see how the appeal in this case proceeds.

ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Mik Aoki
Clemson - 21, Notre Dame - 4
MIK AOKI: I'm not sure what the opening statement would be there. I'm not sure that I've ever seen anything like that one inning.
You know, I think to me, and I'll go back and talk to our club at the end of the day, even in something as difficult as that, I think that there are good lessons for our kids. And so we'll try to impart those lessons and then move on.
I don't know if we ended up on the bad end of like some sort of an NCAA record for runs in an inning or something like that, but you know, I think that I'm not going to let that sort of color a year in which I think we had some really positive moments, so we'll just kind of move on and try to focus on the positive.
Q. You knew that Clemson had the firepower to come back up 3-0, but not something like that. Just what were you telling your team after you were up 3-0 there early?
MIK AOKI: Not a lot. I mean, I think the thing -- for us I feel like the thing that you have to do against Clemson is you have to pitch ahead, because they take -- they are really good in plus counts, in hitter's counts. Just about -- outside of a couple of balls that sort of fell in in two-strike counts, every one of those pitches with the exception of probably Davidson's grand slam, they were in a plus count, and they get the barrel out there and they get it out there and they're looking to do some damage with it, because I think one of the things that jumps off the page for me with that club is how many runs that they've scored, their slugging percentage, but if you look at their batting average, their batting average is like relatively pedestrian.
So when they get their opportunity and when you get behind in the count as a pitcher, they typically make you really pay for it, and they did.
Q. You kind of alluded to the fact that there have been some really good moments over the course of this season, and of course started out with such promise that first week back at LSU. It seemed like you kind of knew there were going to be some growing pains with this young team. When you look back at the course of the season, how do you kind of put it all in perspective, and are you satisfied with the growth that you saw from those young players?
MIK AOKI: Yes and no. I mean, I think it's like -- there are times where I think we took like really, really positive steps forward and then sadly we would like kind of take a couple steps back. I think if you look at the overall trajectory of the season, I think those younger pitchers -- and that's where we were youngest. We were youngest on the mound, and that's a bad place to be young, and so outside of Scott Tully, we're throwing freshmen and sophomores and sophomores that didn't see a whole lot of game action last year out there.
We had a crew of guys that went off into pro ball and had pitched a significant amount of innings for us over the last three years.
I think that there was some real growth here and there, in spite of how it ended up for Cam Brown, I think Cam Brown pitched well down the stretch. In spite of last night, I think Andrew Belcik threw the ball well throughout the course of the year. Cole Kmet threw the ball well. There were guys that I thought made really substantial moves forward. And so I think the message from me to them is like, look, reflect on the season. You're going off into summer ball for most of them; take some of the lessons that you've gleaned from both the good and the bad and probably more the bad than the good, and try to get better.
And I think they will. I mean, I think that over our time here at Notre Dame and BC before that, I think that sometimes it takes our kids a little bit longer perhaps. We're not getting like the perfect game top-50 players all the time. But I think that we have a pretty decent trajectory of being able to develop kids, and these guys will get better.

¿es la pintura moderna respecto de la clásica, culminación o retroceso?
Miró Quesada Cantuarias, Francisco, 1918-
In response to the question in the survey published by the Lima newspaper El Comercio as to whether "modern" painting is an improvement on "classical" painting or a step back, the various respondents agreed that different styles from different periods have equal artistic value, though each period finds its own unique forms of expression. Preferring to use the terms "abstract" and "figurative" painting, the theorist Luis Miró Quesada Garland points out that the process of evaluation can now be approached from a "broader, more universal" perspective, allowing us to appreciate art from different cultures and periods. In their responses, the collector Manuel Mujica Gallo and the painter Juan Manuel Ugarte Eléspuru caution that the term "classical" refers specifically to Greek culture. Only by using the term in that sense can one identify "a decadent trend in the 'craft.'" Alejandro Romualdo Valle, on the other hand, makes a distinction between the "period of strictly visual experimentation" (from Impressionism to abstraction) associated with our capitalist society in crisis, and what he describes as true modern art which, in his opinion, embodies "eternal ideas" as expressed in Mexican painting. Along similar lines, critiquing today's "excesses" in terms of his own field, Alfredo Ruiz Rosas sees modern painting simply as a product of bourgeois society whose art—like the society itself—is now in a state of decadence.
This was the second question in the survey about "classical" painting and "modern" painting that appeared in the "Cátedra Libre" section of the Sunday supplement published by El Comercio, a Lima newspaper, from May 29 to July 10, 1955. The following intellectuals responded to this part of the newspaper's survey: the theorist and modernist architect Luis Miró Quesada Garland, the collector Manuel Mujica Gallo (1906–72), the painters Juan Manuel Ugarte Eléspuru (1911–2004) and Alfredo Ruiz Rosas, and the poet Alejandro Romualdo Valle. From May 29 to July 3, 1955 the "Cátedra Libre" section of the Sunday supplement of the Lima newspaper El Comercio published a survey about the aesthetic value of "modern" art as compared to "classical" art. [See the following articles in the ICAA digital archive, written by Cantuarias and published in El Comercio: "¿Qué prefiere Ud., pintura clásica o pintura moderna?" [Which do you prefer, classical painting or modern painting?] (1137399); "¿Es la pintura moderna respecto de la clásica, culminación o retroceso?" [As compared to classical painting, is modern painting an improvement on what came before or a step back?] (1137431); and "¿Por qué se ha transformado la pintura? [Why has painting changed?] (1137463) y (1137512)]. The subject remained controversial after a year of almost continuous debate on the question of abstract art. A number of Peruvian intellectuals and artists replied to the survey, many of whom played leading roles in the discussions about non-figurative art that were taking place at that time, including the architect Luis Miró Quesada Garland (1914–94), the abstract painter Fernando de Szyszlo (b. 1925), the poet Alejandro Romualdo Valle (1926–2008), and the social-realist painter Alfredo Ruiz Rosas (1926–2002). According to Francisco Miró Quesada Cantuarias (b. 1918)—the lead writer of the section and editor of the supplement—the replies indicated an understanding of the differences and similarities between "modern" and "classical" art, but also reflected the polarization of local opinion that was radically split between supporters and critics of abstract art. Despite the objective nature of his comments, Cantuarias also took a position when he identified "figuration" with "significance." [See "Cátedra libre: en el Perú se reconoce el valor de la pintura moderna. Dos direcciones de importancia: pintura moderna y pintura significativa" (1137563)]. This prompted an immediate response from the main ideological champion of modernist art in Peru, Luis Miró Quesada Garland, who described abstraction as art that was both "significant" and transcendent on its own terms. On a theoretical level, however, the debate revealed ambiguities in many basic areas of the discussion, such as the actual concept of "abstract" [see the five articles by Garland "En blanca y negra" (1137595), (1137612), (1137661); (1137678); (1137712); and two others, both "En blanco y negra" (1137761) and "Sobre el significado del arte" (1137695). See also the articles by Cantuarias: "Sobre la influencia social en el arte" (1137629) and two others with the same title: "Sobre el significado del arte" (1226970) and (1137729)].

Announcement of the Call of The Reverend Phillip Channing Ellsworth, Jr.
I am humbled by the opportunity to follow the faithful rectors who have led St. Stephen's Church over its history. It will be an honor to celebrate the Sacraments with you; to proclaim with you the Gospel of Jesus Christ; to declare God's forgiveness to the penitent; to pronounce God's blessing; and to love and serve you as living members of the mystical Body of our Lord Jesus Christ. I praise God for this calling, and I thank the Search Committee and the Vestry, Teri Pollitt especially, for confidence in discerning the same. With them, I ask your prayers for St. Stephen's Parish, for my family, and for me. There's a wideness in God's mercy that is wider than the sea. Encouraged by your witness and companionship, it will be my privilege and responsibility to nourish you from the riches of that mercy and strengthen you to glorify God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in this life, and in the life to come.
The Reverend Phillip Channing Ellsworth, Jr.
The Rev. Phillip Channing Ellsworth, Jr. comes to St. Stephen's from St. Francis Episcopal Church in Potomac, Maryland, where he was the Associate Rector. He came to that position from St. Bartholomew's Church in the City of New York, where he was Associate Rector. He has been on sabbatical since 1st January, preaching and celebrating as a visiting member of the clergy staff at the Church of the Advent, Boston from the Feast of the Epiphany through Easter Day. He will be domiciling at Pusey House, Oxford, United Kingdom, ministering at Pusey House Chapel, mentoring aspirants for holy orders at Pusey, and studying during Trinity Term at Oxford University.
His ministry has focused on preaching, teaching, liturgy in the riches of the Anglican tradition, pastoral care, and strengthening Christian community, with an emphasis on Student (or Youth) Ministry, while promoting a generous-spirited, intellectually vibrant Christian faith. Father Ellsworth holds a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University, a Diploma in Anglican Studies from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, and an M.A. and B.A. from Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL. The President and Fellows of Yale University awarded him the Wolcott Calkins Prize for excellence in preaching in 1995.
His wife Victoria, a teacher, is the founding Director of the Middle School String Orchestra at Norwood School in Bethesda, Maryland. The daughter of medical missionaries Dr. Robert and Muriel White, she was born in Brussels, Belgium, and raised in the Belgian Congo. They have four children and one grandchild: Evan, an associate investment banker at Credit Suisse in Los Angeles, married to Kristin, a corporate attorney at Skadden; Gabriel, a research associate at Harvard Business School; Gillian, a teacher in Durham, NC, married to Matthew Messer, a graduate student at Duke University; and Aaron, a college student, and a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers. Their grandson, John (Jack) Channing Ellsworth, was born 8th April 2016 to Kristin and Evan.
At yesterday's services, I had the pleasure of announcing that the Reverend Phillip Ellsworth has accepted the call as the eighth Rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Phil comes to St. Stephen's after serving as Associate Rector of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Potomac, Maryland since 1998. His complete biography is printed on the right.
I would like to thank the Vestry for its dedication to the discernment process and representing the Parish so well. All of us are looking forward to working with Phil as we begin our ministry together later this summer. Please join us on Sunday, August 21st when Phil will celebrate his first services with us and everyone will have the opportunity to meet his wonderful wife, Victoria. Phil and Victoria will be relocating to our Rectory in early August.
I would also like to thank our Parish community for their prayers, words of encouragement, and steadfast support during the long year of transition as we searched for our new spiritual leader. Finally, I would like to, once again, extend our gratitude to the Search Committee for their diligent work over the past ten months that culminated in our call to Phil.


Takumi Yamamoto, designer of the esteemed GT by Citroen and a former leading designer at the PSA Peugeot Advanced Design Studio, is the creative force behind this concept car which is a consummation of his life-long passions for car design and David Bowie.
Paris-based Marie 3D identified that 3D printing was the only feasible production method for implementing the concept car due to its capability to produce complex and creative geometry forms. Traditional manufacturing methods, including CNC routing, would have proven limited in terms of realizing Takumi Yamamoto's vision. Furthermore, 3D printing turned out to be more cost-effective, having a faster production speed and less waste production.
The car has been 3D printed on Marie 3D's Massivit 1800 large format 3D printer. The company has an established standing in the automobile industry and this innovative project, leveraging Managing Director Philippe Marie's expertise in prototyping as well as his timely adoption of a Massivit 3D printer, has paved the way for an entirely new approach to producing concept prototypes.
This new concept prototype production method has provided the perfect expression of Yamamoto's imaginative and emotive dream to build a David Bowie-inspired concept car that embodies Bowie's key personal and physical traits. The design incorporates a core body that represents and 'protects' the inner Bowie while the intricate, outer body is designed with different looks from various perspectives in homage to the singer's chameleon-like personality. Crystals were chosen to reflect the purity of Bowie's lyrical and musical message.
Other important players in the project include Cyrille Ancely and Alexandre Larnac.
Industrial designer, Cyrille Ancelly, worked on bringing Yamamoto's dream to life by developing the design and transforming the concept into a 3D model. CG artist, Alexandre Larnac, turned the concept car's screen-based 3D model into realistic renderings and animations giving the impression that the car was actually driving on the road whilst keeping the artistic inspiration of David Bowie's spirit.

2023: Shettima Yerima says southeast region is not ready for presidency
11 months ago read comments by Kess Ewubare
- Shettima Yerima, the national president of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) accuses the southeast region of allowing its people to threaten the unity of Nigeria
- The AYCF leader says the southeast zone cannot aspire to produce the president while threatening the peace of the country by calling for the disintegration of Nigeria
- Yerima urges the region to call its people to order and participate politically without threatening the unity of the country
Shettima Yerima, the national president of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), has said the southeast region is not prepared to produce a Nigerian president in 2023.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard newspaper, Yerima, said the unpreparedness of the southeast region for the presidency is obvious from the fact that the region has allowed its people to go about threatening the unity of Nigeria.
Shettima Yerima accuses the southeast region of allowing its people to threaten the unity of Nigeria
He said the southeast zone cannot aspire to produce the president while threatening the peace of the country by calling for the disintegration of Nigeria.
Miyetti Allah says Amotekun will fail
"You cannot continue to be threatening the unity of this country because time has come that you cannot threaten people because you want power, you need to lobby. You cannot look us in the face and abuse the sensibility of all Nigerians and undermine the government and now say because they are scared of you; this is primitive, who is afraid of you? He said.
Yerima urged the region to call its people to order and see the way they can also participate politically without threatening the unity of the country.
He said that was the only way the region can get the presidency on a platter of gold.
In another report, the governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, has said the speculated presidential ambition of the governor of Kaduna state, Malam Nasiru El-Rufa'i and that of the APC leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not destabilise the party as many have feared.
Buhari makes stunning revelation about Boko Haram as he eulogises late CAN chairman
He said APC would not have any problem in 2023 because President Buhari has laid a strong foundation through good governance.
Governor Buni also rejected the presidential rotation or zoning that many have been agitating for ahead of 2023.
He argued that restricting the presidency to a zone in 2023 will limit the choices of Nigerians during the poll.
Meanwhile, the Northern Elders' Forum (NEF) says by 2023 the north will only support candidates with genuine commitment to deal with its problems and political will to meet the region's aspirations.
This is contained in a statement by the convener of NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi in Zaria, Kaduna state on Sunday, February 9.
He said: "The forum has observed that political maneuvers around the 2023 elections are targeting the North as a region available for exploitation.
On national security, Abdullahi called for the injection of a higher level of competence, integrity and accountability in the manner Nigerian security agencies deal with security challenges.

Still on politics, a report by the Nation indicates that as part of its preparation ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched an initiative to reconcile its warring governors.
According to the report, also to be resolved are the disagreements among aggrieved chieftains across the country.
Top on the list of such feuds is that between governors of Rivers and Bayelsa, Nyesom Wike and Seriake Dickson.
Both governors had openly launched verbal attacks on each other via the media towards the end of 2019.

Sony is all set to host its event at IFA on September 1 and the company is widely expected to unveil the Sony XR smartphone. However, mentions on the company site indicate the Sony may launch the Xperia XZ and Xperia X Compact instead. In the meanwhile, prolific tipster Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has posted a leaked image of the latter smartphone.
Let's start with the company site listings of the two smartphones, though nothing is detailed beyond the names. Spotted by Netherlands-based website TechTastic, Sony's Czech site mentions the Xperia XZ with the caption "photography", and the Xperia X Compact with the caption "pictures without blur", evidently pointing to some impressive optical performance.
Reports speculate the Xperia XZ that's now been spotted is in fact the Xperia XR that was rumoured earlier. However, there's not much clarity on this. In the meanwhile, tipster Evan Blass has shared animage of what he claims to be the Sony Xperia X Compact. This is the first time we've heard of a Compact variant in the X series. It sports a similar design as seen on other smartphones in the same series.
Sony killed off its flagship 'Z' series to replace it with the new X series. In May, the company announced the aesthetic re-branding at MWC in Barcelona, and launched the Xperia X, Xperia XA, and Xperia X Performance smartphones.
As mentioned, there is also noise that Sony will unveil the Xperia XR smartphone at IFA as well. Leaks suggest that the Xperia XR will feature a 5.1-inch display, and be powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor. With this smartphone, Sony is also expected to finally make the switch to USB Type-C ports. There is also a pegged dual-LED flash module coming next to the rear camera, and the dimensions are tipped at 146.4×71.9×8.1mm.
The TechTastic report indicates that the Xperia XR or Xperia XZ will feature a 5.2-inch display instead, be powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM, sport a 23-megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus apart from a 13-megapixel front camera.
In any case, the event is just a week away and official details will be out soon. While Sony has clearly not given up on its smartphone business just yet, it has decided to put less effort into the second largest market in the world. The Japanese company recently was claimed to reduce focus in the Indian market due to unsatisfactory performance. Sony predicts only a 0.3 percent growth in US, China, and India in the future.

New data backs PM's call to return to the office
New data shows office building occupancy in our major CBDs continues to be well below pre-COVID-19 levels despite very low or no community transmission being reported in most locations.
The data reinforces yesterday's decision to order most federal public servants back to their offices and the Prime Minister's call for business and state public services to follow suit.
According to a Property Council of Australia survey of members who own or manage office buildings in CBD locations, occupancy levels have remained static or risen slightly in most capital cities.
Melbourne's occupancy rate of 10 per cent was the lowest in the country and reflected the impact of stringent Stage 4 restrictions.
Occupancy in the Sydney CBD was at 35 per cent, up from 30 per cent the previous month.
Canberra office occupancy was essentially unchanged at 46 per cent, while Brisbane increased from 45 per cent to 52 per cent, and Perth rose from 55 per cent to 63 per cent.
Adelaide's occupancy rate increased to 67 per cent, up from 61 per cent. Darwin was steady at 70 per cent, while Hobart grew the most of all capital cities, up to 78 per cent compared to 60 per cent in the previous period.
Property Council of Australia Chief Executive Ken Morrison said our largest CBDs still had a long way to go before returning to pre-COVID levels of activity particularly during the working week.
"Our CBDs are big drivers of productivity and economic activity. Their reactivation is absolutely essential to economic recovery, including supporting all of those businesses which depend on CBD office workers for their viability.
Mr Morrison welcomed the Prime Minister's call for Commonwealth public servants to return to their offices where it is safe for them to do so.
"You can't have economic recovery without thriving CBD economies.
"Building owners and managers have worked to ensure their office buildings are COVID-safe and ready for workers to return. It's time to get Australia moving again."

This doodle turned drawing was slowly built up over the better part of 3 weeks. Mainly done on Sunday when I had time for this; the drawing is basically a cutaway of a section of Domineus Dan's family manor in the capital.
There are two main entrances to the manor, one for the commoners and one for the upper class. This side is for the upper class and much more elaborate than the one not shown.
The right hand side extends from the outside and up a large staircase made of solid marble of varying colors, decked with golden statues and reliefs. The outside staircase climbs to the height of a modern, average height, ten storied building.
The middle section has a foyer with a symetrical curved staircase on either side. It is two floors in height, in the manor that is. Above the foyer are grand apartments and rooms overlooking the outside staircase, boulveyard and gardens beyond. There are many such rooms in the manor and each are gilded and highly elaborate in their decorations. Between the two curved staircases is an open entrance area to other internal rooms on the same level, of which they are not drawn here.
On the left hand side is about the middle of this section of the manor. Further left would lead to the commoners entrance and area. A door from this grand foyer (not shown) leads to a grand hall for the elite to travel to the throne room and offices of the Grand General, Dephensor Dan.
On the otherside of this door in the grand foyer is a huge and elaborate stained glass window 8 floor in height. Beyond this window is a long courtyard and gardens open to everyone visiting.
The doors on the right hand side of the window lead to hallways going directly from the foyer to the other side of the long courtyard. What is not shown is that on the right hand side of the hallways is another much thinner courtyard that brings light to the windows on the right hand side of the doors (that are shown in the picture). On the other side of the doors, by which are not shown, are another set of hallways that lead to other rooms and apartments that are part of the administrative section of the manor. There is no courtyard on this side however. If one saw the layout of the manor in my mind, one would understand. I just may make a plan for the manor one day, if it were not so grand and need of a large sheet of paper. LOL. ^\/^.
The last bit of the grand staircase, that is in the grand foyer, has stairs on either side leading to a mid level and balcony that opens to the apartments and rooms above the first foyer. In the middle of the balcononies mention, except the very top one, is another slightly wider staircase leading to another balconied area that leads to the next section of the stair case and the doors leading to the upper hallways.
At the very top of the grand foyer is a quadruple domed ceiling that leads to a tower and cupola that lets in light in the middle. It is most unfortunate that I had no room to draw said light well. Above the apartments are meant to be an attic area under the roof. I did not bother to draw this area. ^\/^.
The large cavernous area beneath all this grandness are a set of rooms meant for the making, storage and testing of weapons, armor, and other stuff related to the defense of the empire. There are also labs to test how to defeat, defend agains, contain and otherwise handle the many types and forces of evil. These are not the only places for such activities. In fact, this area is a private section that the general, and occasionally Domineus Dan, uses. It is not a secret that it is there, but still for official use only and defended well. This area, when the manor was first purchased by the Dan family years ago, was a labyrinth of rooms and halls that used to hold the private jail, storage, servant and officer quarters and other things.
After the Dan family moved into the manor years ago, the manor made specifically for the grand general of the empire, Dephensor Dan remodeled extensively and added to the manor. The underground area, largely looking like swiss cheese on the layout of the manor's plan, was largely hollowed out, reinforced and made into an ultra advanced private research and smithing area, as well as storage. The manor no longer houses a private jail as before, especially since it was not used much to begin with.
The manor was then doubled in size and length. The picture here used to have been one side of the manor with the current administrative section being the old manor. The addition of the new section made what was once one of the sides of the manor into the middle section of the manor. The old apartments and grand rooms where made into the private offices of the grand general.
The old dining hall and ballroom was retrofitted and remodeled as the grand general's throne room to handle the public and their requsts and questions during the time when the activity is being done. The old greenhouse was remade into the new ballroom and the new dining hall is in the new section of the manor.
The rooms that once housed the private quarters of the grand general and family was remade into the qurters for the manor's staff. The new quarters for the manor's security is now in the towers along the newly remade walls surrounding the estate. Inside the manor there are new security rooms and checkpoints for the guards to work at while in the manor. the new quarters for the grand general and his family are in the new section of the manor.
The new section of the manor has larger and more open rooms and staircases. It has many multileveled courtyards and gardens. There are also terraces on one side, overlooking the gardens and path that leads to the stairs above, that have a sheer drop off ten floors or higher. On the ground level along the pathed area are a line of garages for the fleet of many vehicles that include military, regular private vehicles and areas for guests and elite visitors needing a space to park. The area that the new section of the manor is built on used to have been a large rocky outcropping that jutted out somewhat. The area the property is built on is relatively steep and hugs a mountain along with other high ranking elite families of the empire. On top of the mountain, the top houses the palace of the royal family, which is built of sections that are either sheered off to make for flat building room or hugging the mountain along the path leading to the top. ^\/^.
The name of the manor is currently Dantehum Manor and it has the same name as the ancestral lands and town that Domineus Dan's ancestors come from. The 'tehum' part of the name comes from the Adlerian word for 'place', 'home', and 'town'. The meaning of which depends on usage. The 'Dan' part should be obvious. LOL. ^\/^.
On another last note, the area of the ground floor in the grand foyer; where the first bit of stairs is at and shown, was drawn a while back in another picture of mine. That pictures is the one called The Kids (ILA): ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6797106/ ). In that picture, one can get a good close up look of the area where the stairs from the first foyer curve and lead up to the grand foyer. The picture is meant to be in the style of a family painting / protrait of the grand general Dephensor Dan's grandchildren. ^\/^.

A sudden increase in the number of asylum seekers affects the opening of permanent reception centres for them. Minister of the Interior Ólöf Nordal predicts that these asylum applications will only increase in the coming years.
The Ministry of the Interior announced last July that they intended to open permanent reception centres for asylum seekers by this year. Stundin reports that this year alone there were about 600 – 800 asylum seeker applications, twice as many as the year before. This has prompted her to reverse the Ministry's previous statement.
While the Directorate of Immigration began temporarily renting housing in Hafnarfjörður for asylum seekers last summer, that location has filled up fast.
At these reception centres, asylum seekers will be expected to follow set guidelines in order to get a permit to stay in Iceland. However, it is still not clear what these centres will specifically entail.
The asylum seeking process still takes longer than the government would like. Shortening processing periods may prove difficult if the trend of rising asylum applications continues.

Q: How to monitor power usage of a machine without unplugging it? My APC ES 700 UPS keeps beeping but I don't know why. I'm wondering if I'm overloading it and I'm also curious to know how much power my various devices consume. I'm thinking of buying a power monitor, but not sure which one. Has anyone bought one?
I notice a lot of them require the device you are monitoring to plug into the unit itself, like this one http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/13a-plug-in-energy-saving-monitor-n67fu
I would prefer a unit where you can clip onto the cable and monitor so I don't have to power cycle the monitored device. Does such a thing exist?

A: You should install the APC monitoring software. This way, you can find out why its beeping and on top of that, you can monitor the power usage from there.

Peerblock List Format For Essay. "Why to Avoid PeerGuardian/PeerBlock"
uTorrent – a popular BitTorrent client for Windows – has a little-known IP blocking feature which can help protect you from unwanted observation by anti-P2P organizations or government institutions. The easiest way to block unwanted IPs is to download and install PeerGuardian 2, but this software only works well in Windows XP so Windows Vista and Windows 7 users should follow this guide instead.
This guide will show you how to use a program called Blocklist Manager to retrieve and compile a list of all unwanted IPs, then use uTorrent's built-in blocking feature to block them. Don't worry about the length of the procedure, most of these steps only have to be performed once.
It should be noted that while blocking IPs can help hide your BitTorrent usage, it is not perfect and the absolute best method for staying safe is to avoid downloading copyrighted material.
Open uTorrent and click Options –> Preferences.
Click Advanced and locate the entry ipfilter.enable and make sure it is set to true. Close uTorrent.
Download and install Blocklist Manager. Note: During installation, your virus scanner may warn you about an application called Win32/Angryscan.A. This software is optionally included with Blocklist Manager (and can be disabled during installation), but I do not consider it to be harmful.
Open Blocklist Manager and click the Sources button to download a directory of sources (Note: this does not actually download the block lists, just the directory of lists).
Click Sources and enable any IP lists you would like to be protected from. I chose to block all lists except for the Non-LAN List, but the Level 1 and Level 2 lists would probably be sufficient for most users. Click OK.
Click the Process button to start downloading and compiling any IP lists you selected. This may take some time, so be patient while it processes the files.
Once the processing is finished, click Export –> Export Manager. This is where you will tell the program where to save your newly created block list so uTorrent can load it.
Check the 'Export Location Active' box and click Add. Click OK.
In the main program again, click the Export List button. This will save the block list to the uTorrent folder you set in the previous step.
If prompted about overwriting an existing file, click Yes.
Once the export process has finished, verify that no errors occurred in the command area of the program. If none, your block list was successfully saved to the uTorrent folder.
Open uTorrent and click the Logger tab (as shown below). If you see a message stating that ipfilter.dat (# of entries) was loaded, everything worked properly!
It is very important to update your ipfilter.dat file regularly to get the most recent block lists. To do this, download the updated IP lists and export them by repeating Step 7 and Step 10 above, then restart uTorrent to load the new list.
Peer-to-peer file sharing is based on the peer-to-peer (P2P) application architecture.It is also known to be a mainstream culture that is growing in the 2000's. Technology had taken over our lives and it is available at our fingertips. Over the last decade, file sharing data based applications such as Spotify, iTunes, SoundCloud, and BitTorrent have allowed a community to share music, movies, electronic books, and more. Now a day, file Sharing is as common as clouds are in the sky" (Schwarz, Jonas). Shared files on the computers of other users are indexed on directory servers. P2P technology was used by popular services like Napster, Spotify, and Infinit. The most popular protocol for P2P sharing is BitTorrent.
Cloud-basedfile syncing and sharing services implement automated file transfers by updating files from a dedicated sharing directory on each user's networked devices. Files placed in this folder also are typically accessible through a website and mobile app, and can be easily shared with other users for viewing or collaboration. Such services have become popular via consumer-oriented file hosting services such as Dropbox and Google Drive.
Files were first exchanged on removable media. Computers were able to access remote files using filesystem mounting, bulletin board systems (1978), Usenet (1979), and FTP servers (1985). Internet Relay Chat (1988) and Hotline (1997) enabled users to communicate remotely through chat and to exchange files. The mp3 encoding, which was standardized in 1991 and substantially reduced the size of audio files, grew to widespread use in the late 1990s. In 1998, MP3.com and Audiogalaxy were established, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was unanimously passed, and the first mp3 player devices were launched.
"The File Sharing Act was launched by Chairman Towns in 2009, this act prohibited the use of applications that allowed individuals to share federal information amongst one another. On the other hand, only specific file sharing application were made available to federal computers" (United States.Congress.House). In 2009, the Pirate Bay trial ended in a guilty verdict for the primary founders of the tracker. The decision was appealed, leading to a second guilty verdict in November 2010. In October 2010, Limewire was forced to shut down following a court order in Arista Records LLC v. Lime Group LLC but the gnutella network remains active through open source clients like Frostwire and gtk-gnutella. Furthermore, multi-protocol file sharing software such as MLDonkey and Shareaza adapted in order to support all the major file sharing protocols, so users no longer had to install and configure multiple file sharing programs.
On January 19, 2012, the United States Department of Justice shut down the popular domain of Megaupload (established 2005). The file sharing site has claimed to have over 50,000,000 people a day.Kim Dotcom (formerly Kim Schmitz) was arrested with three associates in New Zealand on January 20 2012 and is awaiting extradition. The case involving the downfall of the world's largest and most popular file sharing site was not well received, with hacker group Anonymous bringing down several sites associated with the take-down. In the following days, other file sharing sites began to cease services; Filesonic blocked public downloads on January 22, with Fileserve following suit on January 23.
In his survey of file-sharing culture, Caraway (2012) noted that 74.4% of participants believed musicians should accept file sharing as a means for promotion and distribution.
According to the 2017 paper "Estimating displacement rates of copyrighted content in the EU" by the European Commission, illegal usage increases game sales, stating "The overall conclusion is that for games, illegal online transactions induce more legal transactions."

Mayor Nutter reopened the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy and introduced the new head, Gary Steuer, last week. The "Creative Economy" part of that title has been added with this reopening, and it's a title that could place a new focus on the true contribution Philadelphia's arts & culture community has, not only on quality of life, but on the economy of the city. For as much as Philly is steeped in history and sometimes has some antiquated perspectives and laws on the books, we are continually connecting with forward-thinking people working on innovative projects.
Got a story to tell? Longtime Canary client, First Person Arts, recently announced a new competition for memoir and documentary artists. First Person Impressions invites artists to tackle the first person story through three artistic mediums: the written word, video, and photography. Artists are challenged to find universality in the personal, make the exotic familiar, shock and amaze, or pause to reflect, all while crafting an engaging and true tale around a slice of real life. Everyone with a true story is encouraged to enter.


In the UK, a "turf accountant" is a bookie. Bookies are often viewed as shady characters. The UK also distinguishes between "certified" and "chartered" accountants. The latter enjoy the highest status and are viewed as honourable individuals because of their vows of probity to the Crown and membership of a discerning organisation.
I can deal with not understanding math or the universe. But for some reason, few things frustrate me as much as when I don't get a joke.

Me too. But really ... I trust that's not your reason for being up at four ay em!
What was the source of that cartoon again? Maybe the context will help.
Make that 3 am this morning. I'm something of an insomniac.
I found it on a message board in a very old thread. Everyone thought it was hilarious, but it was an old thread so none of the people who knew why it is so funny were there anymore to explain it. There was no other context in the thread that could explain it either.
Then I suspect it to be an in-joke of sorts. Unfortunately the best jokes often are!
Solidarity brother. Previous night my mind was whirring until about 5am. Last night though, sweet dreaming.
You may be looking for a secondary level of humour that is absent. Some people, especially children, could find the mere fact that the guy on the ladder is explaining to the pig why it should not bump against the ladder funny.
Yes, but presumably the joke is also funny in itself. Unless perhaps the folks on the message board deliberately changed the caption in the speech bubble in order to fit in with the in-joke. Perhaps there was something else there originally.
It could be a kind of meta-joke. The game "Mornington Crescent" is like that and confuses the bejabbers out of the uninitiated.
The game has one simple rule: Name any London tube station you like and fabricate any ad hoc reasons, rules, strategy and/or precedent as needed to "justify" your call. The more obscure and fanciful, the more plausible. The first person to name Mornington Crescent wins, but other initiates usually contest the call hotly, again on entirely made-up grounds, and the call is often withdrawn as a result.
In this case, the cartoon isn't really funny and was never intended to be. The actual joke is that those who are in the know pretend that it is unspeakably hilarious only to confuse the uninitiated but perhaps more to try and catch out those who aren't in on it and who say it's funny.
I guess it's got something to do with posting pictures on a forum, but I don't get the joke either.
Using Google's reverse image search, I found that the picture originally didn't have a speech bubble. That was added, thus it probably is some sort of in-joke.

What is pork belly, you might ask? Its name says it all: a cut of meat from the belly of a pig. What the name doesn't tell you – but definitely alludes to – is that this is a cut of meat that is going to be extra rich and delicious. It's become quite popular these days – not that it ever wasn't, but it seems that nowadays we're seeing it on more restaurant menus, and not just at fancy restaurants. Pork belly is fairly simple to prepare and something that is sure to impress at a dinner party or any special occasion.
You're definitely going to be a fan of pork belly. It's a wonderful cut of pork that is about as luxurious and decadent as meat can get. Pork belly is already rich due to its high percentage of fat, but to make it even more amazing, we add a generous amount of salt and pepper, brown sugar, and a few dried herbs. We score the meat on a bias, then give the meat a good rub with our seasoning mixture. It roasts in the oven, taking on all those delicious flavors and beautiful color as well. Once it's had some time to cool, the meat is ready to cut, and it will be beyond tender and delicious.
Pork belly is something truly magical, and since we don't get to have it that often it has become an extra special treat. Counterbalance the meat with something light on the side, like a crisp salad or steamed vegetable, but the real star of the show will be this beautiful cut of savory pork belly. We love the slightly sweet-salty-peppery flavor in each and every bite, and the herbs really add a wonderful depth of flavor too. One bite will have you conviced that you're eating something so extravagant and lovely!
Score skin of pork belly with a sharp knife, taking care to not cut too deeply into the meat. Season with salt, black pepper, sugar, and dried herbs. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Place pork belly on top of wire rack.
Place tray into oven and roast pork belly for 25-30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and cover with foil. Rest pork belly for 25-30 minutes.

What to enrich people's lives with programmes
Subjects admin January 10, 2020
In this report there would be two businesses mentioned: public limited company- BBC and a private limited company- Tesco plc. These two businesses will be analysed to see what makes them successful and explore the different features of these businesses.
The BBC is the world's leading public service broadcaster. Its aim and objective are to enrich people's lives with programmes that inform, educate and entertain. It is the largest international broadcaster broadcasts radio, television news, speech and discussions in over 30 languages to many parts of the world and also provide online services. It is established by a Royal Charter; the BBC is a public service broadcaster funded by the licence fee paid by UK households. They use the income from the license fee for investment in new programming and services and also to provide services including: 9 national TV channels, 10 national radio stations, 40 local radio stations and an extensive website. The BBC would be a limited liability. The British broadcasting corporation is found in the tertiary sector whilst it provides public services- like the NHS or the civil services. Therefore, it is also considered as a public limited sector. Through the measure of employees, we can deduce that BBC is a large business while they have 20,916 employees.
The BBC was formed on the 18th October 1922 by a group of leading wireless manufacturers including Marconi. On November 14, 1922 the BBC daily broadcasting began in Marconi's London studio. John Reith a 33-year-old Scottish engineer was appointed general manager of the BBC at the end of 1922. Following the closure of numerous amateur stations, the BBC started its first daily radio service in London – 2LO. After much argument, news was supplied by an agency, and music drama and 'talks' filled the airwaves for only a few hours a day. It wasn't long before radio could be heard across the nation. Thirty-three-year-old John Charles Walsham Reith became General Manager of the BBC on 14 December 1922. There were no rules, standards or established purpose to guide him. He immediately began innovating, experimenting and organising, and with the help of his newly appointed chief engineer, Peter Eckersley, the service began to expand. Using BBC frequencies, John Logie Baird broadcast some of his first experimental television broadcasts from studios near Covent Garden in London. Pictures were in black and white, created by mechanical means, and flickered, consisting of just 30 lines definition. In November 1936 the BBC was the first broadcaster in the world to provide a regular 'high definition' television service. Programmes we would expect to see today such as drama, sport, outside broadcasts, and cartoons all featured, but not for long. The outbreak of war in 1939 brought programmes to a sudden halt. In 2013/14, BBC Worldwide generated headline profits of £157.4m and headline sales of £1,042.3m and returned £173.8m to the BBC.
Tesco plc, trading as Tesco, is a British multinational groceries and general retailer with headquarters in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. It is the third largest retailer in the world measured by gross revenues and the ninth largest retailer measured by revenues. Tesco offers a wide range of products and services from groceries, household products, clothing to insurance (travel insurance). Its main purpose is to create value for customers to earn their lifetime loyalty. This business can be set to the financial sector. Tesco follows a hierarchical organizational structure. In this structure, positions and obligation are divided into many parts to ensure work will be done efficiently and smoothly. Tesco has a limited liability for the shareholders; the business has no limits to the number of shareholders. This is an advantage of this business however it also has a disadvantage- They have to publish their accounts so therefore competitors can see them, they have to pay dividends to shareholders. Tesco is a retailer therefore it is in the tertiary sector as it doesn't make the products it sells it just provides a service, it buys products in from the primary and secondary sectors. We can examine Tesco plc to be a large business due to the fact of it having employed 476000 employees and over 6800 shops around the world. Tesco International operations. Tesco has expanded its operations outside the UK to 11 other countries in the world.
The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from Thomas Edward Stockwell. He made new labels using the initials of the supplier's name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word TESCO. During the 1950s and 1960s, Tesco grew, until it owned more than 800 shops. The company purchased 70 Williamson's shops (1957), 200 Harrow Stores outlets (1959), 212 Irwin's shops (1960), 97 Charles Phillips shops (1964) and the Victor Value chain (1968) (sold to Bejam in 1986). In May 1987, Tesco completed its hostile takeover of the Hillard's chain of 40 supermarkets in the North of England for £220 million. On 21 March 1997, Tesco announced the purchase of the retail arm of Associated British Foods, which consisted of the Quinn worth, Stewarts chains in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and associated businesses, for £640 million.

BBC, British broadcasting company, is a public limited company which provides services. Its headquarters are at Broadcasting House in Westminster, London and it is the world's oldest national broadcasting organisation and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees. Whereas Tesco is a private limited company which supply products and services rom groceries and etc. Both businesses are large business therefore would have a competition between the two businesses.
Tesco has a limited liability, due to its size it would be hard to raise enough funds for Tesco if it was owned by a sole trader or by partners whereas in a Plc (like Tesco) the company is owned by shareholders who fund the company. However, they have to publish their accounts so therefore competitors can see them;
they have to pay dividends to shareholders. Similarly, BBC also has a limited liability as it
We can deduce the fact that both businesses are large international businesses while measuring the number of employees. We can state that Tesco is a larger business than the BBC as it has 476,000 employees where as BBC has 20,916 employees. This is because even though BBC provides more service they are all via technology or media therefore not many employees are needed where as in Tesco more practical and online services are used therefore more employees are needed. Tesco has 6800 shops over the world which is another reason for Tesco to be a larger business than BBC.
The British Broadcasting Company is a public limited company therefore is considered in the public sector as it provides public services just like the NHS and is owned by the government. On the other hand, Tesco is a private limited company and the company is owned by shareholders. Even though Tesco is a private limited company and BBC is a public limited company they both fall in the same sector; tertiary sector. Tesco is a retailer that's why it falls in the tertiary sector as it doesn't make the products it sells it just provides a service, it buys products in from the primary and secondary sectors. BBC is a tertiary sector as confirmed while it provides public services such as: news, commercials etc.
Tesco's main purpose is to create value for customers to earn their lifetime loyalty by providing a wide range of products and services from groceries, household products, clothing to insurance. BBC's purpose is to inform, educate and entertain their audience: "Our five public purposes are central to us serving the public and help us achieve our core mission to inform, educate and entertain". Both businesses aim to impress their audience or customers but in different ways for different reasons. For example Tesco impresses their customers by providing them with products such as groceries, clothing and online services whereas BBC impresses their customers by providing public services such as news, television and online services.
P2: Explain how two contrasting businesses are influenced by stakeholders.
AM1: Assess the relationship and communication with stakeholders of two contrasting businesses using independent research.
A stakeholder is anyone who has a vested interest in the activities and decision making of a business. There are two different types of stakeholders: internal stakeholders and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders are entities within a business for example, the manager, employees, owners and directors of the businesses BBC and Tesco whereas external stakeholders are entities not within a business itself but who care about or are affected by its performance for example consumers, regulators, investors and suppliers of these two businesses. Both the businesses use communication to share the information between people within the business that is performed for the commercial benefit of the organization. In addition, business communication can also refer to how a company shares information to promote its product or services to potential consumers.
Communication can be internal which is between people in the same business for example: formal meetings and briefings, informal meetings where employees can meet with senior management, e-mail, conference calls, or, external which is with people outside the business for example: press meetings, social media feeds, online videos and webinars, reports. Communication is essential for a business to provide their servicers effectively. In Tesco, to communicate they use: reports, emails and fax as non-verbal communication and for verbal communication they have meetings, conversations, telephone conferencing and telephone calls. In BBC….
Stakeholders within Tesco are shareholders, customers, employees, local communities. The internal stakeholders such as: shareholders, employees, and managers and external stakeholders such as: customers, suppliers and the government are all important for the business as they can help to make the business grow higher.
Employees are able to help the business become successful. One of the most important factors in an employee's performance is to achieve goals. Successful employees meet deadlines, make sales and build the brand through positive customer interactions. Successful employees lead to a successful business. Employees are important for the business, Tesco, as they help to make profit… for the company which allows the business to grow. They are stakeholders affected by Tesco's decisions in the way that the decisions affect the company's profitability. Tesco has a high credibility-the quality of being believable or worthy of trust- therefore there is a high possibility of the employees may be interested in Tesco. In order to make the business successful they use verbal and non-verbal communication to make this happen. One way the business communicate with the employee is writing reports; write staff reports to see how well the staff are doing and what they can do to help improve their service. Another way they communicate is by having face to face meetings to inform managers about the progress and new initiatives. A time to hear and be motivated by others ideas. Staffs also use e-mails to communicate as it is easier to send messages to each other and are also good when communicating with other local or international branches. Also, e-mails are quicker to send than letters and allows to send as much information needed. However, this can be faulty and are not secure also it is not guaranteed that it will be read. Therefore, this eliminated from being the best way of communicating and allow writing reports and face to face meetings as effective. However, the most effective way of communication would be the staff reports as this is aimed directly to the staff and they know what their mistakes are and how to improve where as the meetings is aimed at everyone doesn't give a chance of knowing how each individual can improve. Also, meetings would be useless if some staffs are unable to attend these meetings.
Similarly, another internal stakeholder, manager, could also help to make a business successful and has the important role in making the business and employees successful too. These managers are able to set tasks to the employees in order to allow the customers to get the best service. Therefore, employee motivation is an important task for the managers. Managers job is keeping shareholders happy; meeting their expectations will certainly reduce the risk of negative influences affecting the business. Tesco takes its employees very important in the business as they all work together to support the development of the business. They also are determined to look after their employees in a way they are expected to deliver to the customers. This is a reason why managers are important to make the business successful and annual reports to show and tell the shareholders how well Tesco have been performing.
While internal stakeholders are important to make a business successful, external stakeholder also play the same amount of role to make the business successful in Tesco. Tesco customers contribute to profit levels through buying products and services.
