Elixirr helps Southampton FC with back office transformation

Southampton FC has rolled out a new solution to improve its back-office efficiencies, as the club attempts to implement a new long-term business strategy. UK-headquartered consultancy Elixirr was at the heart of the project, providing the English Premier League club with a business case for change, as well as end-to-end assistance with an operational overhaul which lasted nine months.
Digital technology has transformed the way that businesses across all industries are expected to interact with their customers – and the world's most popular sport is no different. According to the latest figures, the vast majority of top tier football clubs now use apps to engage with their fans, with English Premier League clubs leading the way among Europe's elite leagues. Like every other industry, however, digital transformation offers much more than just marketing opportunities, as exemplified by Southampton FC's recent operational overhaul, assisted by consulting firm Elixirr.
In 2016 Southampton FC had published a new 5-year strategy to transform the club. One of the pillars of this strategy centred on a journey to improve core back office systems, processes and data so they could improve day-to-day working practices and provide management with improved insight into key business metrics to drive decision-making. The club defined a clear strategy, supported by strategic pillars. One of these pillars centred around providing information to the right people when they wanted it – as Southampton looked to promote better informed decision-making and drive innovation and growth in the long-term.
In order to realise this vision, revamp the club's strategy and drive innovation at the south-coast footballing institution, Elixirr was brought on board to provide a case for change and help Southampton take it through to organisation-wide implementation. Elixirr was engaged because of its experience in successfully running similar transformations, its sports organisation experience, and the close fit between its team and the Southampton FC team and culture.
After Elixirr provided the case for change, the club's Board gave approval for the transformation project, which included improved ways of working, dashboard prototypes and implementation of the workday solution across finance, HR, procurement and payroll. The firm was then asked to facilitate the development of the case for change, assessing Southampton FC's current state to identify pain points and potential barriers, while ensuring the proposed target state was aligned to the club's overall business strategy.
Business transformations are often slowed by legacy systems and long-standing IT set-ups, and Elixirr's process subsequently identified the club's existing systems and processes as one of the main barriers to delivering insight. In order to combat this, Elixirr worked in close partnership with key stakeholders from Southampton FC's Finance, HR, Procurement and Payroll teams to scope a project that ultimately delivered a replacement back office solution.
Elixirr then moved to paint a picture of what the new key performance indicators could look like moving forward with the new system, using dashboard prototypes. Once this was agreed, the consultants applied an innovative 'Collaborative Solutioning' approach to solution specification, selection and contract negotiation, supporting Southampton FC through an end-to-end selection process. Following a nine-month implementation effort, the club has now gone live with the Workday solution across Finance, HR, Procurement and Payroll, while the solution has been successfully rolled out to all employees.
Commenting on the outcome, Brian Kalms, who led the Elixirr project team, said, "The result was successful negotiation of the right contract for a new SaaS cloud back office ERP system and the systems implementation partner. We designed the PMO framework to mobilise the project and created project assurance frameworks to enable on-going quality assurance to ensure its success. Southampton FC and their team are a fantastic organisation to work with."
Remarking on the role played by the consultancy in the transformation, Southampton FC Managing Director Toby Steele added, "Elixirr provided high quality solutions and service throughout the entire project, which enabled the club to make better informed decisions in the selection of both the ERP system and implementation partner."

2018 Ford Edge Refresh – Welcome to the Fordredesigns.com site, if you want to finding information about the latest Ford car brand, then you are at the right website, here we will share information about the 2018 Ford Edge Refresh ranging from; Rumors, Reviews, Redesign, Specs, Concept, Exterior, Interior, price, Release date and Pictures. We hope this website can help satisfy your search.
After three years of rumours Ford has actually ultimately validated the Edge will certainly replace the Territory in its Australian SUV variety. Nevertheless, it will be one more two years prior to the Edge actually hits showrooms. Ford Australia employer Graeme Whickman introduced this week that the Ford Edge Sport will certainly not take place sale down under up until 2018, approximately a year after sales of the locally-made Territory are expected to finish.
That will certainly leave Ford without a medium-sized SUV in its variety for virtually 12 months and missing an opponent to prominent equipments such as the Toyota Kluger, Hyundai Santa Fe and also the brand-new Mazda CX-9.
Whickman stated the choice to postpone the Australian launch of the Edge was part of Ford's global approach, with the Edge currently deemed the business's international mid-size SUV similarly the Focus is the business's worldwide little auto. "For us that was the most optimum time to introduce it into the marketplace," Whickman stated. The Edge was first launched in the US in 2014 as well as took place sale in the United Kingdom in right-hand drive form previously in 2016, seemingly getting rid of any type of possible obstacles for the Australian market.
While Whickman wouldn't enter into the information of why the Edge will be so postponed it is likely connected to a mid-life facelift for the SUV. Auto makers commonly update models halfway with a 7 to 8 year product lifespan.
It additionally leaves open the opportunity that Ford will include a seven-seat variation of the 2018 Ford Edge Sport, which is currently just offered as a five-seater with the exemption of a China-only unique. Yet while the timing of the 2018 Ford Edge is a shock, its enhancement to the regional array is not, with Drive first reporting it in August 2013.
Heaven oval telegramed its purposes at its 'Go Further' statement in Sydney in 2013, disclosing its future display rooms would certainly include four SUVs – the EcoSport, Kuga, Everest as well as just what was billed at the time as a 'Territory substitute'.
Inquired about his individual choice, Whickman suggested he favored to stick with the global name as part of Ford's larger technique. A potential issue for Ford is that it is thought Toyota has the Australian legal rights to the Edge nameplate, having previously utilized it for scandal sheet versions. The verification of the Edge comes as part of a larger disclose of Ford's SUV strategy for the future.
Whickman also verified that 2017 will certainly see the intro of a five-seat variation of the Everest, the updated Kuga as well as a special edition EcoSport Shadow. The 2017 Ford Kuga was revealed in Europe earlier in 2016 and also consists of new EcoBoost engines, revised front and back styling as well as makes a turning around video camera standard throughout the range. The five-seat Everest will just be provided in base Ambiente quality but will certainly be readily available in both rear- and four-wheel drive.
Ford has actually given quality around its post region future by confirming it will introduce a brand-new large SUV "based on" the global Ford Edge. However, the shift in between the Australian-made Territory, production of which upright October 7, as well as the arrival of the (likely) Canadian-made Edge will not be as smooth as lots of would certainly have presumed.
It won't release in Australia up until early 2018, about a year after Territory stocks are marketed out, and also whereby time the automobile will certainly remain in its 4th year of manufacturing. That Ford is only stating that the brand-new big SUV will be "based upon" the Ford Edge offers gas to supposition that it will actually be called Territory below, to capitalise on brand name recognition. There's also the thorny issue that Toyota presently possesses the trademark to the Edge name here.
Ford Australia president and CEO Graeme Whickman would certainly not be drawn on language when we asked him this week, yet we understand the firm's basic preference is to use international nameplates where feasible, indicating 'Edge' likely continues to be the favored choice. Unusually, Whickman stated Ford did not consider the Edge a like-for-like replacement of the Territory, claiming it was "not a replica". However, it will plainly compete for the exact same customers, in spite of a more upmarket and Euro-centric emphasis.
The launch delay appears weird on the face of points, yet Ford remarks are limited to claiming "it's the optimum time". Checking out in between the lines, it seems waiting up until a considerable mid-life update of the car premieres, rather than releasing a pre-update automobile for a short time.
Already on sale in right-hand drive kind in the UK, the 4.8-metre long Ford Edge is somewhat shorter than the Territory, and is offered there as a five-seater only, though a seven-seat by-product is generated in China.
Rival: Nevertheless, it tones up as a competitor to varied big SUVs from the Subaru Outback to the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Kluger, in a sector that comprises an enormous 12 percent of the total market.
The SUV category in Australia has grown by a significant 71 per cent over the past 5 years, while auto sales have fallen by 12 percent. According to Ford's numbers, this has actually put SUVs on a trajectory to surpass auto as the top-selling automobile enter neighborhood showrooms within the next 5 years.
Advanced safety modern technologies verified for Ford Edge Sport consist of a 180-degree electronic camera, the latest version of active park aid with vertical vehicle parking and also cross website traffic alert, flexible cruise control with crash reduction, emergency city car stopping, blind-spot tracking, lane keeping aid, web traffic indicator recognition and also blow up rear seat belts.
It will likewise gain from the firm's new Sync 3 connection and voice control system, heated up and also cooled seats, and a hands-free tailgate in higher requirements grades.
2018 Ford Edge Sport is maintaining very silent on particular details, though you can expect front- and all-wheel drivetrains, and ideally both petroleum and diesel engines with transmissions. The gasoline engine line-up for the United States makes up circa-183kW 2.0-litre and 224kW 2.7-litre four-cylinder turbocharged systems, while the UK gets a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with 154kW/450Nm.
The second-generation Ford Edge will be heaven Oval's most innovative SUV, including the brand's flexible steering system, which alters the guiding ratio with car rate, and also active noise cancellation modern technology, which utilizes microphones positioned in the cabin and also creates opposing acoustic waves through the audio system.
Ford Australia has actually introduced that the SUV known as the Edge overseas will join its line-up in 2018, but said it will not be a straight substitute for the Australian-made Territory which discontinues production on October 7. coming to a head at the Ford Design Centre in Melbourne, Ford manager Graeme Whickman verified the mid-large sized SUV will have a premium feel and rest to the top of Ford's SUV variety.
2018 Ford Edge Sport rates is also yet to be validated, but the new SUV will overlap with the Kuga and Everest. The Kuga currently covers $29,250-$47,190, while the Everest varies from $54,990-$76,705.
Whickman said the new SUV will certainly go on sale in 2018 – one year after the last of the Territories have actually been sold. This will certainly leave a large gap in the car-based huge SUV sector that Territory has actually handled to keep a footing in despite its fundamental design now being 12 years old.

Ways of Seeing: Three Takes on the Jack Shear Drawing Collection
Ways of Seeing: Three Takes on the Jack Shear Drawing Collection is a three-part exhibition that focuses on the extraordinary drawing collection of artist, curator, and President of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation Jack Shear. Continuing The Drawing Center's tradition of exhibiting drawings from outstanding public and private collections, Ways of Seeing offers a revealing experiment in connoisseurship and exhibition-making. During the course of the exhibition's fifteen-week run, artist Arlene Shechet, critic and curator Jarrett Earnest, and Shear himself will each present an installation curated from Shear's holdings, which consist of nearly seven hundred drawings dating from the sixteenth century to the present.
Take One: Jack Shear, Oct 2–Nov 7, 2021
Take Two: Arlene Shechet, Nov 13–Dec 23, 2021
Take Three: Jarrett Earnest, Jan 15–Feb 20, 2022
In the first installation of Ways of Seeing, on view from October 2 through November 7, Shear adopts a unique approach to hanging his collection, placing drawings alongside, directly on top of, or abutting other works on the basis of intuited visual affinities regardless of context or historical provenance.
The second installation, on view from November 13 through December 23, artist Arlene Shechet takes an equally inventive approach, Shechet has chosen artworks that highlight connectivity and intimacy, complimenting her careful consideration of the viewing environment. As a sculptor, Shechet addresses the physical space of The Drawing Center's galleries, installing four of her own hand-carved wooden benches to create a dynamic communal space that embodies the idea that how we see art is fundamental to what we see.
For the third and final iteration of Ways of Seeing, on view from January 15 through February 20, critic and curator Jarrett Earnest takes the fundamentals of drawing as a starting point for his installation of works selected from Shear's collection. Organizing the installation around two drawings—one by Henri Michaux and the other by Vija Celmins—Earnest creates a dynamic display around the premise that works of art are impacted by the context in which they are seen and received.
Taken together, the exhibition's successive iterations—curated by Jack Shear, Arlene Shechet, and Jarrett Earnest, respectively—offer a revealing experiment in connoisseurship and exhibition-making.

Tremendous and incredible Himalayas are home to nine of the ten highest mountain peaks of the world, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga Peak. These hills are blessed with tranquility and uncountable miracles of nature. This fourteen-day-long Himalayas Tour takes you to one of India's holiest destinations, Rishikesh. Here, along with indulging in religious rites, you can choose to try enthralling adventure-sports like bungee jumping and white-river rafting. Ananda Spa and Resort is also listed in the itinerary, which is one among top ten luxury spas of India. In the capital of India, New Delhi, you'll visit its spectacular attractions like the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Red Fort, Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb, to name a few. You can shop in one of Delhi's oldest markets, Chandni Chowk. All this and much more await your visit.
Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Delhi, Humayun's Tomb, Red Fort and Qutub Minar.
Spend a week in the lap of nature and treat your body, mind and soul in Ananda Resort and Spa.
Try sports-adventures like bungee jumping and white-water rafting in Rishikesh.
Attend soulful Ganga Aarti from the banks.
Drive past or visit some of Delhi's most iconic sites like Safdarjung Tomb and Parliament house.
On reaching New Delhi Railway Station or Airport, meet LuxoIndia representative and get transferred to your pre-booked hotel. Relax for some time. Day 1 and Day 2 are scheduled for Delhi sightseeing session, which includes Red Fort, Chandni Chowk, Raj Ghat, India Gate, Jama Masjid, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple and Humayun's Temple.
The symbol of Indian nationality, culture and heritage, Red Fort of Delhi has also been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Red Fort Complex was built in 1648 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. For nearly 200 years it served as a residence for the Mughals. However, main elements of Mughal architecture were adopted in the construction but fusion of Persian, Hindu and Timurid styles are also incorporated here. Red Fort also happens to be the venue of Indian Independence celebration when the prime minister of India hoists the national flag, during a grand ceremony.
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site of Delhi, Qutub Minar is the second largest Minar of India. Its height is 72.5 meters, with a diameter of 14.3 meters. It was commissioned by Qutub-ud-din Aibak in 1193 and the construction process was carried on by his successor Iltutmish. Verses of Quran are inscribed on the balconies of Qutub Minar, which is mainly built of red-sandstone and marbles. Many other ruins are scattered around this monument and all these collectively are called Qutub Complex. Some other notable structures are Tomb of Iltutmish, Alai Darwaza, Quwwat-Ul-Islam Mosque and Tomb of Imam Zamin.
Humayun's Tomb too is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built with finest precision and dedication. Humayun's wife Bega Begum commissioned this structure in 1569 or 1570 and after its construction it was the first garden-tomb in Indian subcontinent. The main architect of this tomb was a Persian, and hence a fusion of Mughal and Persian styles of architecture was incorporated. Other than Humayun's tomb, tomb of Hamida Begum, Dara Shikhoh, Bega Begum, Shah Jahan, Jahandar Shah and other regal personalities of the erstwhile era are located here.
Jama Masjid, the largest mosque of India is yet another mesmerizing creation of Shah Jahan, built between 1644 and 1658. During that time a cost of one million rupees were spent on the construction. It can accommodate up to 25000 people at once. Minarets, tombs and arched-gateways are few notable features of this mosque, which is decorated with calligraphy, jali work and other Mughal insignia. Chandni Chowk with its old-world charm pulls the crowd from different regions. Here you can shop for anything and everything at unbelievably cheap prices.
Overnight stays in the hotel.
One the third day of the tour, proceed to Ananda, which is 260 km away from New Delhi. You can choose to travel by air, train or car. Even special helicopter service can also be arranged from New Delhi that will take you to the premises of Anand Resort and Spa.
Ananda Resort and Spa or Ananda in the Himalayas is one of India's topmost spa destinations that provide a rejuvenating experience along with nonpareil comfort and services. It is nestled on Himalaya's foothills as the name (Ananda in the Himalayas) suggests and serves to cure diseases and to create equilibrium between mind, body and soul. The practices include a combination of traditional Indian Yoga, Vedanta and Ayurveda. The décor further complements the theme and makes the journey easier and soothing. Other than the spa Ananda's dining area, activities and packages are worth mentioning. Essential Ananda, Himalayan Bliss and Couples Connect are the three packages it offers, which are crafted by combining different spa experiences, night stays and other activities.
From fitness to cooking classes and excursions, Ananda in the Himalayas offer a lot many activities to its guests. The dining area is exotic, incorporated with key principles of Ayurveda.

A fishing crew spotted the dinghy sinking in ice-cold waters between Kent and France just after 03:00 GMT.
The skipper pulled his boat alongside and his crew hauled 31 people to safety in a dramatic rescue operation, the BBC has been told.
Footage filmed from the boat showed some dressed only in T-shirts and thin lifejackets screaming for help.
The video - shared by the owner of the fishing trawler, Ben Squire - showed crew members pulling people up out of the water and the boat with ropes.
People can be heard panicking and shouting as water appears to fill the inflatable boat.
In the night sky, helicopter lights shine down and airlift people away, as lifeboats arrive at the scene to continue rescuing people.
A government spokesman said authorities were alerted at 03:05 GMT to a small boat in difficulty off the coast of Dungeness, 30 miles west of Dover.

"You've got relatives there. Just refuse," Sergei recalls telling Stas, who was already an army officer. "But he said he was going. He believed it was right. I told him that he was a zombie. And that, unfortunately, life would prove that."
Sergei and Stas are not the real names of this father and son. We've changed them to protect their identities. Sergei has invited us to his home to tell us their story.
"So off he went to Ukraine. Then I started getting messages from him asking what would happen if he refused to fight."
Stas told his father about one particular battle.
"He said the soldiers had been given no cover; there was no intelligence gathering; no preparation. They'd been ordered to advance, but no one knew what lay ahead.
"But refusing to fight was a difficult decision for him to take. I told him: 'Better to take it. This is not our war. It's not a war of liberation.' He said he would put his refusal... less

For his involvement in the failed blood-testing start-up, Balwani was found guilty on 12 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in July.
Executives at Theranos made untrue claims about the product's ability to diagnose illnesses using a few drops of blood from a finger prick.
Last month, Holmes received a prison term of more than 11 years (135 months).
At the conclusion of a nearly four-hour sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Balwani was given a sentence of 155 months in prison but remained silent. Like Holmes, he intends to appeal, according to his attorneys.
He was convicted of scamming patients who used the blood tests, unlike Holmes. On four counts of fraud, Holmes was found guilty.

In response to the murder, Hannah Neumann, a member of the European Parliament, declared: "I am heartbroken and indignant and want the world to know!" "She was murdered in the dead of night, while the Taliban constructed their system of gender segregation in broad daylight." Former top official in the former Western-backed government of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, expressed his sadness for Ms. Nabizada's passing and expressed hope that those responsible would be held accountable. She was a "representative and servant of the people," according to him.

in the topic Guardian newspaper hit by suspected ransomware attack in the forum Technology
The Guardian newspaper has come under a suspected ransomware attack. It said there had been a "serious incident" affecting its IT systems in the last 24 hours, with disruption to "behind the scenes services". The company said it was continuing to publish globally to its website - one of the most visited news sites in the world - and was "confident" it could still print the physical paper. Staff have been told not to go into the office and to work from home. In a statement, the Guardian said: "Our technology teams have been working to deal with all aspects of this incident, with the vast majority of our staff able to work from home as we did during the pandemic. "We believe this to be a ransomware attack, but are continuing to consider all possibilities." Ransomware is malicious software used by hackers - and often sent via attachments in emails - to gain access to an organisation's or individual's computer systems. The criminals then find and encrypt important or sensitive files - and demand a ransom for them to be unlocked. A huge range of targets - from schools and hospitals to government agencies and media organisations - have fallen victim to ransomware, with research indicating hackers are paid in the majority of cases, especially in the UK. According to the Press Gazette, the Guardian is the ninth most-read news site in the world, with almost 390 million visits in November. In its own reporting of the incident, the Guardian said online publishing was "largely unaffected". It said Guardian Media Group chief executive Anna Bateson and editor-in-chief Katharine Viner had sent a message to the company's workforce. "Thank you to everyone working hard throughout this incident to keep us publishing," they said. "We will continue to keep our staff and anyone else affected informed. "With a few key exceptions, we would like everyone to work from home for the remainder of the week unless we notify you otherwise." Jake Moore, global cyber-security adviser at security software company ESET, said the Guardian being targeted was not a surprise. "News organisations have become a regular target for cyber-attacks this year, and these attacks often have even more damaging effects on the companies targeted," he said. "Ransomware can often bring all departments to a standstill, so it is fortunate that despite this attack the organisation will still see some key areas working as usual."

The video - shared by the owner of the fishing trawler, Ben Squire - showed crew members pulling people up out of the water and the boat with ropes. People can be heard panicking and shouting as water appears to fill the inflatable boat. In the night sky, helicopter lights shine down and airlift people away, as lifeboats arrive at the scene to continue rescuing people. A government spokesman said authorities were alerted at 03:05 GMT to a small boat in difficulty off the coast of Dungeness, 30 miles west of Dover. Mr Squire, who was not on the boat for the rescue, said the skipper Ray Strachan told him they saved 31 people. After hauling them to safety, the crew gave them hot showers, their own clothes and fed them to help warm them up. Mr Squire said the sea was quite cold and the conditions were "a little bit rough". Overnight on Tuesday, temperatures dropped to 1C, with it likely to have been colder out at sea. A yellow weather warning for ice was in place across Kent at the time. https://vk.com/@streamfullhd-vostfr-black-panther-wakanda-forever-en-fr-streaming-vfhttps://datastudio.google.com/reporting/b2b2f36e-fb87-4f88-bec6-f9bcd9c9dee9https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/fa4353de-b371-48d1-945d-8dbe478d8549https://vk.com/@streamfullhd-repelis-black-panther-wakanda-forever-2022-online-en-espanolhttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-repelis-noche-de-paz-2022-online-en-espanol-cuevana-3 https://medium.com/@stream.boxmovies.club/ukraine-war-explosions-in-central-kyiv-amid-air-raid-warning-660953ed87fa https://www.vingle.net/posts/5086213 https://worldnews13.tistory.com/57 https://aminoapps.com/c/moviestvvideota/page/blog/ukraine-war-explosions-in-central-kyiv-amid-air-raid-warning/7odj_v3uPudMpLZ02Pqpqo85oWKRoWLJv https://watchmoviesonline.cookpad-blog.jp/articles/761564 https://teletype.in/@almehisd/JE7qHZWm6Hc https://muckrack.com/derisik-dori/bio https://backlinktool.io/p/59lalh7XrTX4U3lVP3Jz.html https://tempel.in/view/160a6b59 https://pastelink.net/0vfgkb5i https://rentry.co/i6ik5e http://paste.jp/78477004/ https://paiza.io/projects/LWsXhu4X92vpweleMUlVOQ https://rextester.com/CBR49734 https://paste2.org/w3Va175b https://bitbin.it/UMME0UX9/ https://jsfiddle.net/r7j14a2c/ https://ideone.com/lvg5SD https://tech.io/snippet/v8e3Ggp http://paste.akingi.com/1SM3lfyJ https://pasteshr.com/klftyjhdrfhbsedbhse https://paste.ee/p/KBfcg https://justpaste.it/ayhz9 https://pasteio.com/xBhVOkK7sFWr http://pastie.org/p/2lqV45TcjKbt1ntEELJiYu https://telegra.ph/hdfrbsdexbhsbhsder-12-14 https://p.teknik.io/EI1rG https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/f6fc1bc5-ab4e-4f5f-929e-1f05bd7bbc6d https://yamcode.com/z3lmpkfspz https://www.geany.org/p/3PBAO/ https://paste.ofcode.org/DeXjX7YREwTrU8CyYxLgVD http://taylorhicks.ning.com/photo/albums/nhdnjdftjndtrjdrt https://tophsffootball.shivtr.com/forum_threads/3728698 https://kuula.co/post/NRDh5/collection/79xlC http://allabouturanch.com/forum/topics/hydryhdrjhndtjhdftjt https://spot.tecno.com/global/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=203854&extra= https://www.kikyus.net/t14590-topic#15955 https://theprose.com/post/553066/gbsdgbhdrhbrdhjhsdeh https://star.shivtr.com/forum_threads/3728699 http://www.shadowville.com/board/general-discussions/dkbhdkjuksd#p573606 https://www.bankier.pl/forum/temat_gbsrbghsdrehbrsde,58112281.html
in the topic Ukraine war: The Russians locked up for refusing to fight in the forum News
When his son was sent to fight in Ukraine, Sergei begged him not to go. "You've got relatives there. Just refuse," Sergei recalls telling Stas, who was already an army officer. "But he said he was going. He believed it was right. I told him that he was a zombie. And that, unfortunately, life would prove that." Sergei and Stas are not the real names of this father and son. We've changed them to protect their identities. Sergei has invited us to his home to tell us their story. "So off he went to Ukraine. Then I started getting messages from him asking what would happen if he refused to fight." Stas told his father about one particular battle. "He said the soldiers had been given no cover; there was no intelligence gathering; no preparation. They'd been ordered to advance, but no one knew what lay ahead. "But refusing to fight was a difficult decision for him to take. I told him: 'Better to take it. This is not our war. It's not a war of liberation.' He said he would put his refusal in writing. He and several others who'd decided to refuse had their guns taken off them and were put under armed guard." Sergei made several trips to the front line to try to secure his son's release. He bombarded military officials, prosecutors and investigators with appeals for help. Eventually his efforts paid off. Stas was sent back to Russia. He revealed to his father what had happened to him in detention: how a "different group" of Russian soldiers had tried to force him to fight. https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/685ca448-5e14-432a-8a5f-bffe3f7b0ba7https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/dbfc2b88-f975-4e03-8e4d-f8c383adcd88https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/89ceb00c-3e8a-4da3-8f2f-06df6a075937https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/b9034148-17e0-4d4c-95eb-aa7ae08e1432https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/c3e37145-2c5b-481e-b8be-ea7d0997f0d0https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/38aa0f06-5005-4f90-abd7-25ca6e95fbdbhttps://datastudio.google.com/reporting/13eb633f-4124-4fe6-b0e8-98bea92b3650https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/ffd8cb51-76d0-49c8-b733-a918da55fa16https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/7cf8ea1a-292b-4e35-af3e-8ba77020ad46https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/cade4fa1-2651-422f-ae33-bcbb6899c35fhttps://datastudio.google.com/reporting/294def86-23f5-4e37-a181-5f8933c821cfhttps://datastudio.google.com/reporting/c3dbd40a-4e22-4d42-ab0a-4c83a82ad820https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/0e74356b-c230-4b8a-a278-159c88c012b6 https://backlinktool.io/p/OueGG71GQE8n8jHNZIYl.html https://pastelink.net/jzo9533y https://rentry.co/tmnbn http://paste.jp/7f2320ba/ https://paiza.io/projects/-HEiinVkcw0C47nOvV1WkA https://rextester.com/KONL91068 https://paste2.org/zfjf0J1J https://bitbin.it/hpp8lmFK/ https://justpaste.it/3rgp9 https://pasteio.com/xQyysOwp4P9x http://pastie.org/p/2xt09oVti4f8NbsdSAe2jY https://telegra.ph/njcdjndftnftjfrtjkfrkjfrtk-12-13 https://p.teknik.io/Simple/BJaKK https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/35ad7def-50eb-4d1d-a216-a1a28711e263 https://yamcode.com/xjwnsx80td https://www.geany.org/p/WNUCZ/

in the topic Former Theranos executive Sunny Balwani receives in the forum Politics
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' business partner Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani was given a sentence of almost 13 years in prison. For his involvement in the failed blood-testing start-up, Balwani was found guilty on 12 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in July. Executives at Theranos made untrue claims about the product's ability to diagnose illnesses using a few drops of blood from a finger prick. Last month, Holmes received a prison term of more than 11 years (135 months). At the conclusion of a nearly four-hour sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Balwani was given a sentence of 155 months in prison but remained silent. Like Holmes, he intends to appeal, according to his attorneys. He was convicted of scamming patients who used the blood tests, unlike Holmes. On four counts of fraud, Holmes was found guilty. She founded Theranos after leaving Stanford University at the age of 19, when she was once heralded as the "new Steve Jobs." After the company asserted that it could revolutionize disease diagnosis, its value increased significantly. She had direct control over the company's labs under the direction of Balwani, the former president and COO of the company. Despite the fact that the two were initially charged jointly, their trials were split up after Holmes accused Balwani of abusing him emotionally and physically while they were dating at Theranos. She said that he exerted control over her and influenced her economic decisions. Prior to the sentencing, Balwani's attorneys told the judge in a memo that he was "not the same as Elizabeth Holmes" and that Holmes "was dramatically more culpable" for the fraud. He actually put millions of dollars of his own money to work, never sought fame or attention, and has a long history of giving quietly to those in need. In the same court in San Jose, California—the center of Silicon Valley—where Holmes had learned her fate less than three weeks earlier, the sentence was announced. Comparatively few people showed up for Balwani's trial than for Holmes'. Crowds gathered in line five hours before the court opened for her sentencing on November 18, but there was no line to see him. https://vk.com/@streamfullhd-vostfr-black-adam-streaming-vf-complethttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-black-panther-wakanda-forever-2022-streaming-vf-en-francaishttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-films-voir-violent-night-2022-francais-gratuit-et-vf-complethttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-voir-violent-night-en-francaishttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-films-voir-black-panther-wakanda-forever-2022-streaming-vfhttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-voir-black-panther-wakanda-forever-en-francaishttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-films-voir-black-adam-2022-francais-gratuit-et-vf-complethttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-black-panther-2-streaming-vf-en-francais-complet-gratuithttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-avalonia-letrange-voyage-streaming-vf-complet-gratuit-hdhttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-violent-night-2022-streaming-vf-en-francaishttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-ver-black-panther-wakanda-forever-2022-pelicula-completahttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-ver-black-adam-pelicula-completa-2022-en-espanol-latinohttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-ver-noche-de-paz-pelicula-completa-2022-en-espanol-latinohttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-ver-mundo-extrano-pelicula-completa-2022-en-espanol-latinohttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-repelis-ver-black-adam-2022-pelicula-online-completahttps://vk.com/@streamfullhd-repelis-ver-noche-de-paz-2022-pelicula-online-completa

Updates to nutrition labels
by: Sophie Heinemann
Posted: May 6, 2019 / 11:35 PM CDT / Updated: May 6, 2019 / 11:35 PM CDT
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — In 2016, the FDA announced several mandatory changes to the Nutrition Facts label to provide you with more information.
Added sugars is among the changes, and is set to take effect between year 2020 and 2021.
When getting groceries you may not always be aware of what's inside your cart. Sure, seeing the products may be easy, but you may want to take a closer look.
"I think it's maybe an age thing you know you want to stay healthy and you finally understand it. You are your own best advocate and you need to take care of yourself," Mary Yungeberg said.
Yungeberg says nothing goes in her cart without a look at the nutrition label.
"I want to know what's going in. You know garbage in garbage out, I want to eat clean and eat well," Yungeberg said.
Thanks to a nutrition label update by the FDA in 2016, all products are expected to display the amount of added sugar, providing shoppers with more insight on what exactly they're purchasing.
"When looking at a food label you'll see it has its sugars and then the added sugars typically the next line below," Registered dietitian Tiffany Krogstad said.
Added sugars are the sugars and syrups added during processing. You may notice some products have already made the switch, but Krogstad says by 2021 all products should be displaying added sugar.
"This particular food item has 13 grams of added sugar and the total sugars is 14 grams, so only 1 gram of that sugar in there is not processed," Krogstad said.
Foods with a lot of added sugar have extra calories with little nutritional value. Krogstad says too much sugar can lead to a number of health issues.
"I mean it leads to a variety of diseases. So you've got diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, it also, certain cancers are related to high sugar intake as well," Krogstad said.
In just one of these cups there are 18 grams of sugar. The American Heart association recommends that kids between the ages of 2 to 18 get 25 grams per day.
With the updated labels, a recent study by the American Heart Association expects substantial health benefits over the next 20 years, potentially preventing nearly 1 million cases of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and lowering healthcare costs.
"The study has talked about, that small changes are going to be good changes and hopefully it just makes more individuals more aware of what they are consuming," Krogstad said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is signaling potentially vulnerable spots in the financial system, citing U.S. businesses' debt at the highest levels in more than two decades and risky debt growing.
The Fed's report issued Wednesday was its first assessing the stability of the U.S. financial system. Ten years after the financial crisis, the new report points to excessive borrowing by households and businesses, banks' elevated debt levels, and high prices for stocks and other assets exceeding their real value.
Debt owed by businesses is at historically high levels, and growth in riskier forms of business debt has picked up recently, now at more than $2 trillion, the report says. Some banks' level of debt over assets is near its highest mark in more than 20 years.
The Federal Reserve says rising corporate and household debt is a potentially vulnerable spot in the U.S. financial system.
Since the financial collapse of 2008, corporate borrowing has almost doubled.
Risky business debt is now around two and a half trillion dollars. The ratio of debt to assets at some banks is at a 20-year high.
The prices of stocks and other asssets have risen with the soaring debt levels, posing a arisk, the Fed report says, to the whole economy.

How to not sell out
Markus Perkmann and Nelson Phillips
How do you leverage new growth opportunities?
All kinds of organisations – universities, NGOs, private companies – look to access new audiences and enter new markets by reaching out to resource holders and diverse constituencies outside their standard remit. And there's a certain amount of good business sense at play here: addressing new audiences helps increase risk diversification and safeguard longer term prosperity.
But this growth strategy comes with potential pitfalls. New audiences often have demands that can be very different to those of existing markets. Organisations entering new spaces run the risk of neglecting mainstream business. The capabilities needed to address a new market are often not those needed to maintain the flow and quality of products and services to existing customers and stakeholders.
How can organisations manage this kind of audience diversification so that everyone comes out of it better off? How can they balance who they already are – or are perceived to be – and what they already do, with the goals, objectives and modus operandi of their new audience
Three things you must do
One way to achieve this is to build specialised units within the organisation: units that, on the one hand operate independently, but on the other hand form an integral part of the mainstream organisation as it continues to service its traditional audience's needs. We call these specialised units "hybrid spaces".
In our recent research, we looked at the dynamics at play across eight European universities with hybrid spaces – each of them operating research units funded by private industry backers while continuing to function as public universities.
Analysing the data and the feedback from key players in each university, we found there are three essential actions organisations need to take to make hybridity work for them.
First, they need to prioritise the dominant rationale of the organisation while making it work for the new audience. In other words, they have to stick to what they do best. For a university with an industry-funded research unit, this means bringing the academic way of working – the dynamics of research – into the unit and leading with that, as opposed to being led by the commercial needs of the funding company to win patents or make money.
Then they have to ensure the needs of both the mainstream and the incoming entities are met by mixing the way they work. This needs to be based on dialogue and a kind of iterative process that elucidates objectives and expectations as they hybridise activities and goals.
And finally, organisations working in hybrid spaces need to safeguard the interests of their own talent and resources. Researchers going into an industry-funded centre need to be permitted to pursue their own work ethics and methodologies – they need to be allowed to be academics.
Failing to take these three actions can lead to things unravelling fast.
No no no to Novartis
Take the case of the University of California at Berkeley. Back in 1999, the university signed a deal with pharmaceutical behemoth Novartis to fund research within the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology to the tune of $25 million. In exchange for the cash, Novartis was to have first dibs on licence negotiations for around a third of the department's total scientific output. The company was also given two of five seats on the department's research committee, the body that determines how money is spent.
The resultant outcry by Berkeley faculty about the deal's potential to undermine the independence of academic science met echoing volleys from students and alumni. They circulated a petition decrying the Novartis deal for standing "in direct conflict with our mission as a public university".
It seems likely that where Berkeley was going wrong was in overdoing the hybridisation: leaning too far towards the needs of their industry partner, while not doing enough to leverage their organisational rationale as a university.
Done right, hybrid spaces can yield all the benefits to be found in diversification: the dynamic combination of different strengths, foci and modus operandi. And there are plenty of examples of hybridity at work across public and private sectors: from universities with an industry-funded unit, to energy companies looking to build a community of researchers and push the boundaries on renewables, or even a for-profit consultancy operating within the UK's National Health Service.
The rewards are there, so long as organisations are mindful of the pitfalls. And how to avoid them.

Arthur William Symons, né le  à Milford Haven (Pays de Galles) et mort le , est un poète, essayiste, critique d'art, et traducteur britannique.

Biographie
Arthur Symons est le fils d'un pasteur originaire de Cornouailles, qui lui prodigue dans un premier temps une éducation privée. Le jeune-homme est très tôt déterminé à devenir écrivain. En étudiant libre, il fréquente l'université d'Oxford, et suit les cours de Walter Pater dont le modèle critique et esthétique aura sur lui une influence déterminante.

Très jeune, il se rend à Londres, passionné de livres anciens et de poésie. En 1884-1886, il travaille pour l'éditeur , un spécialiste de l'histoire de l'édition, qui souhaitait produire les Shakespeare Quarto Facsimiles, c'est-à-dire la réimpression à l'identique des premières éditions des œuvres de William Shakespeare. Les trois années qui suivent, Symons travaille de même sur, cette fois, l'édition établie par Henry Irving de sept pièces de Shakespeare. Entre-temps, il fait paraître son premier ouvrage, un essai sur le poète Robert Browning (1886), puis deux études annotées, sur Leigh Hunt et Philip Massinger (1887), pour le compte de Havelock Ellis. Il collabore à l'Universal Review.

En 1889, il publie son premier recueil de poésie, Days and Nights, très marqués par Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé et Paul Verlaine ; avec ce dernier, qui le traduira en français, Symons établira une correspondance assidue. Plus tard, Symons traduira ces trois poètes en anglais. En 1891, Symons devient correspondant pour la revue Athenaeum dirigée par . Il écrit également pour la Saturday Review (1894) où il croise Frank Harris et Oscar Wilde, ainsi que pour , Le Magazine international (1894-1897). C'est à cette époque qu'il intègre l'équipe éditoriale de The Yellow Book, revue littéraire qui va marquer cette décennie. Symons produit toujours plus de poèmes, adhérant au  où se retrouvent entre autres William Butler Yeats, , George Moore, , Richard Le Gallienne et Ernest Dowson. En 1896, Aubrey Beardsley, Leonard Smithers et lui décident de fonder leur propre revue, The Savoy ; le scandale les rattrape quand Symons souhaite faire redécouvrir au public l'œuvre de William Blake, provoquant une polémique auprès des librairies conservatrices Smith and Son, qui refusèrent de distribuer la revue. L'éditeur Leonard Smithers est connu des services de police pour publier des ouvrages licencieux. Symons fréquente l' de Londres, qui est à cette époque le rendez-vous des artistes, poètes, acteurs, excentriques et demi-mondaines : son recueil London Nights (1895) en traduit bien l'atmosphère particulière.

Symons consommait des stupéfiants : entre 1889 et 1895, John Addington Symonds, Ernest Dowson, et quelques-unes de leurs amies danseuses fumèrent du hashish durant un après-midi dans son domicile, situé à Fountain Court. Il publiera d'ailleurs dans Vanity Fair en 1918, « The Gateway to an Artificial Paradise: The Effects of Hashish and Opium Compared », à propos des Paradis artificiels de Charles Baudelaire. En 1898, il est marqué par la mort de Beardsley auquel il rendra hommage, devenant le premier essayiste spécialiste de cet artiste.

En 1892, The Minister's Call, sa première pièce de théâtre, est créée à l'Independent Theatre Society, un théâtre privé, afin d'éviter la censure.

Rédacteur pour la  et The Dome, Symons devient très tôt un véritable expert de la littérature française fin-de-siècle, que l'on rattache au décadentisme : il correspond avec Remy de Gourmont et il tente de faire connaître auprès du public britannique des auteurs comme Mallarmé, Joris-Karl Huysmans ou Émile Zola ; son article intitulé « The Decadent Movement in Literature » publié dans le magazine Harper's en , démontre qu'il était au fait de l'avant-garde littéraire. En 1899, il publie l'essai The Symbolist Movement in Literature qui est le premier ouvrage à parler du symbolisme et qui aura un impact profond sur l'évolution littéraire outre-manche, entre autres sur Yeats et T.S. Eliot. Il promeut l'œuvre de Sarojini Naidu (1905).

Après avoir connu une certaine célébrité au sein de la société londonienne, l'écrivain est victime en 1909-1910 d'une série d'attaques cérébrales qui nécessite un long traitement. Il se rétablit peu avant la début de la Première Guerre mondiale mais éprouvera au cours des années 1920 de grosses difficultés, ce qui ne l'empêcha nullement de produire un grand nombre d'écrits. En 1930, il revient sur cet épisode avec A Study in Pathology.

Tout à la fois poète, dramaturge, essayiste, critique et francophile, il traduit en anglais les œuvres de Guy de Maupassant, Émile Zola, Paul Verlaine, Charles Baudelaire, Émile Verhaeren, ou Stéphane Mallarmé. On lui doit aussi des traductions de Gabriele D'Annunzio. Il fut aussi l'un des premiers à reconnaître en Joseph Conrad un romancier capital et l'éditeur du premier ouvrage de James Joyce (Chamber Music, Charles Elkin Mathews, 1907).

Plusieurs portraits peints de lui existent, dont un exécuté par Jacques-Émile Blanche (cir. 1895), un autre par Rudolf Helmut Sauter (1935, National Portrait Gallery).

En 2000, Arnaud Desplechin adapte sa nouvelle Esther Kahn au cinéma, tirée du recueil Spiritual Adventures (1905).

WASHINGTON, Army News Service, June 30, 2014 – Before long, Soldiers in tactical vehicles in the battle-space could get help from autonomous systems.
The U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center's 30-Year Ground Vehicle Strategy "introduces scalable autonomy that will serve as a force multiplier and augment the capabilities of Soldiers," said Dr. Paul D. Rogers, director of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, known as TARDEC.
"That will mature from the technology and integration perspective by 2019 and be ready to transfer into a program of record followed by fielding within a decade after that," Rogers explained.
The Army's most recent demonstration of driverless vehicles took place in May 2014 at the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site in South Carolina, where a convoy of seven different tactical vehicles were driven completely unmanned at speeds exceeding 40 mph.
The nuts and bolts of autonomous vehicles reside in the two different types of kits that were developed to be used in every type tactical vehicle in the Army's fleet, he said.
The first kit is the "autonomy kit," which includes sensors that are the eyes of the platform that observes what's around the vehicle.
The Google Self-Driving Car is also using LIDAR technology. While the Army is not partnering with Google, "we're on similar paths," Rogers said, adding that the Army was looking at autonomous vehicles as far back as 2005.
The second kit is the "by-wire drive," which operates the basic driving functions of the platform such as acceleration, braking and steering.
"These are disruptive ideas and capabilities," said Rogers, meaning there's a lot more to it than ensuring the autonomous vehicles are safe and efficient. They are disruptive in the sense that the technology could actually change the way Soldiers fight and train.
"We're about harvesting their technologies and integrating them into a package that offers operational relevance to the warfighter, capabilities they don't have today," he said.
It's also about saving money.
The big difference between the automotive community and the Army is that Detroit "measures vehicle life expectancy in years, whereas military vehicle life expectancies are measured in decades," he said.
TARDEC will be experimenting with manned and unmanned teaming so that maybe four manned Abrams tanks could team up with four that are unmanned. The unmanned tanks could perform screening operations to protect the flanks or could operate at point in front. It's still a future concept that's probably 20 years away, Rogers said.
Another exciting possibility is TARDEC's exploration of manned or unmanned aircraft teaming up with unmanned ground vehicles. That development is a lot closer in time, he said, with demonstrations coming up at the end of this year and on into next.
"It's no place you'd want to send a Soldier," he said, adding that once those unmanned vehicles are dropped off, their sensors could immediately stream data about the environment via satellite or command link.
TARDEC is now collaborating with industry and other government agencies to leverage installations as living laboratories, Rogers said, explaining that living laboratories means autonomous vehicles being used to perform real-world functions and users of those systems — Soldiers — providing feedback to TARDEC on their effectiveness.
There are a number of ARIBO plans in the works, including one at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where autonomous vehicle systems will soon move wounded warriors from their transition barracks to their medical appointments, "so they're there on time with dependable transportation," he said.
"We're close to a second revolution," he said. The first was in the manufacturing sector where robots on assembly lines made the process more safe and efficient. The second robotics revolution will be in the transportation community.
