Sportsnet picks up Canadiens regional games, increases number of national games
With rumours spreading that there would, in fact, be a broadcaster picking up the regional rights to Canadiens games in English, Rogers finally announced today that it has not only picked up the rights to all regional Canadiens games, but that it has increased the number of Habs games being carried nationally, from 32 to 40.
The agreement is a three-year deal. It does not appear to include any preseason games. A play-by-play team has not yet been announced.
39 of the 42 regional games will air on Sportsnet East, which no longer has to worry about regional Senators games because those have moved to TSN. The other three (a Monday game and two Thursday games) will air on City Montreal.
Newly national games are:
Thursday, Oct. 9 (7pm @ Capitals) on Sportsnet 360
Thursday, Oct. 16 (7:30pm vs. Bruins) on Sportsnet 360
Monday, Oct. 27 (9:30pm @ Oilers) on Sportsnet One
Thursday, Oct. 30 (10pm @ Canucks) on Sportsnet 360
Saturday, Jan. 31 (1pm vs. Capitals) on Sportsnet
Wednesday, March 4 (10pm @ Ducks) on Sportsnet
Friday, April 3 (7pm @ Devils) on Sportsnet
Sunday, April 5 (5pm @ Panthers) on Sportsnet
This means that the Canadiens' 82-game season breaks down as follows:
39 regional games on Sportsnet East
3 regional games on City Montreal
10 national games (mainly Wednesdays) on Sportsnet East/Ontario/West/Pacific
8 national games (first four Saturdays, most Sundays) on City
4 national games on Sportsnet 360 (all Thursdays)
1 national game on Sportsnet One (Monday Oct. 27)
17 national games on Hockey Night in Canada, channels TBA
Because TSN has the Ottawa Senators regional games, and the two team's regions are identical, two regional games between the two teams (Jan. 15 and March 12) will be on both TSN and Sportsnet, giving viewers a choice of which network to watch.
The deal does not affect radio rights, which are still held by TSN Radio 690.
I've updated my post on who's carrying what games to include this deal as well as additional national games for the Flames and Oilers.

Very good moves by Sportsnet.

Boggles the mind why TSN opted to go with Ottawa Senators for their regional coverage in eastern Canada despite TSN's synergies with RDS. TSN could have picked up 50 of the 60 games from their sister network (RDS) is broadcasting.
Unless of course TSN got the Sens regional games on the cheap.

It's not like they were shown a buffet with the Senators and Canadiens on it and decided to go with Ottawa. They came to a deal with the Senators, but not with the Canadiens. That's it.
TSN could have picked up 50 of the 60 games from their sister network (RDS) is broadcasting.
Perhaps. But the price it would have had to pay for that was apparently more than it was worth, particularly since it would be getting the audience anyway because people would be watching RDS.
Lurker September 2, 2014 at 3:31 pm
Your breakdown adds up to a total of 83 games. I believe it's because "4 regional games on City Montreal" should be "3 regional games on City Montreal"
Fixed, thanks.

There are two other quick corrections to make is where you say "8 national games (first four Saturdays, most Sundays) on City." The Habs only play on the first three Saturdays (Oct. 11, 18, and 25). The Oct. 18 game is on Sportsnet Pacific/West/Ontario/East and the Habs do not play on Nov. 1, the fourth Saturday.
Fagstein Post author September 3, 2014 at 8:28 am
I meant the first four Saturday games will be on City. And that includes the Oct. 18 game, according to this schedule. The NHL schedule still lists the Habs being on Sportsnet for that night and the Senators on City, so I'm not sure if Rogers has changed its mind or just got it wrong here.
Solanges September 3, 2014 at 4:53 pm
Thank you for the clarification. I usually look at the schedules from NHL.com. I think many fans hope that the Habs will be on a fairly consistent channel for the Saturday games. The same goes for the Leafs and Senators.

The thing is not all of them are playing on every Saturday night. So when the Leafs aren't playing, it makes sense to put the Habs on CBC and the Senators on City, and maybe the Jets on Sportsnet. The key is the most popular teams will usually be on the most accessible channels.

Once again people from Western Canada, both Anglophones and Francophones are screwed by one or another, or all, of the big business Eastern Canadian corporations- Rogers, Molsons, SN, NHL , etc. From 82 Habs games in 2013-14 , combined RDS and English, I can now see only 40 and MAYBE some by coughing up $199 with no guarantee against blackouts. Habs fans in both languages number hundreds of thousand across Western Canada. We buy Habs merchandise, and drink (sorry past tense drank) Molson's beer. Now Geoff, Gary, Rogers have stuck it where I don't like it. So much for loyalty, so much for the glorious bleu, blanc et rouge tradition. It has been replaced by the only colour that matters to these bums- the colour of money.

No more than people in Eastern Canada are screwed by those same corporations because we can't watch Canucks or Flames games.
Christopher van Dyke September 2, 2014 at 8:49 pm
Steve, the 'demand' for Habs' games in Western Canada is a hundred-fold of Flames' or Canucks' games in Eastern Canada.
In a perfect world, with today's technology and capacity for consumer cable choice, each NHL team would have it's dedicated team channel, i.e. a Canucks' Channel, A Maple Leafs' Channel, a Habs Channel, etc.. A Habs' Channel, for instance, would have English and French broadcast options, 24CH, l'Anti Chambre, archived games, etc., etc..
We all know this is definitely not a perfect world, yet more realistic at this time is convince the NHL their corporate national black-out rule of French language broadcasts have zero benefit for any NHL team in Canada and there an 'exception' should be made for their access west of Quebec.
You may not agree with me Steve, but based on precedence allotted to Radio-Canada and RDS, and the bicultural, bilingual constitutional mandates unique to Canada, I believe there must be an 'exception' available to French language broadcasts for the Montreal Canadiens across Canada by the NHL.
Bottom-line, this, the NHL's national corporate black-out rule, is not what the consumer numbers wants and expects in this age of cable choice and technology, whether you are a an Anglophone or a Francophone.
40 games is better than 32 Habs games. But it is 'a bone' thrown to some pretty angry Habs' fans.
These extra 8 games would not have been added without the effect of the Rogers NHL Habs Petition. http://bit.ly/1nLUkSk
The unrest and protest among Habs fans over the past few months were thankfully heard by Geoff Molson and Rogers, and were obviously part of the negotiations. I have to thank them for hearing our concern.
It shows when fans/consumers show assertive action to issues they find wrong and offensive to their intelligence and demands, one can make a difference.
When something flies in the face of logic and what is right, never sit back and take what a corporation wants to do with your rear-end.
Saying that however, though I sincerely believe that Mr. Molson, Mr. Pelley and Mr. Moore (there may have been others) lobbied Mr. Bettman to throw unhappy/angry Habs fans a bone, there is still a demand from tens of thousands West of Quebec that feel the NHL's corporate national black-out rules remains a red-herring in Canada.
Especially the fact the black-out of French-language national broadcasts of an 82-game Montreal Canadiens' schedule make zero-effect to the local ratings for the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Jets or the Maple Leafs.
The Rogers NHL Habs Petition will not be satisfied until the full 82-game Montreal Canadiens' schedule is available west of Quebec.
The whole raison d'etre for the NHL's national black-out policy is to force subscriptions to the Rogers/NHL-owned Centre Ice 'premium product'. At this time, Centre Ice is also limited by the NHL's national black-out policy.
So subscribing to Centre Ice at this time is forcing an incomplete and unsatisfactory product on consumers, at an exorbitant cost.
The cost of $ 200 per year for a presently half-assed product (Centre Ice), will cause the loss to the Montreal Canadiens, in-time, a significant percentage of it's present fan base.
In the Rogers NHL Habs Petitions' opinion, the NHL's corporate national black-out rule, in Canada, is unnecessary.
In New York State, in the United States, the courts have approved to proceed, as of February 2015, an NHL fans' class-action suit claiming the NHL's national black-out rules suppress competition, prevent the creation of value-added team choice channel products, and exorbitantly increase the cost of the product to the fans/consumers.
We believe a similar potential exists in Canadian courts of a class-action to over-turn the NHL's national black-out rule.
Fagstein Post author September 2, 2014 at 11:17 pm
That's part of the reason these blackouts exist in the first place, to protect the markets of teams like the Flames and Canucks.
And why wouldn't this exception apply to the Ottawa Senators, whose games are also broadcast in both languages?
These extra 8 games would not have been added without the effect of the Rogers NHL Habs Petition.
I doubt that's true. We've known for a while that Rogers could nationalize some regional games. What's changed here is the pickup of the regional rights. Rogers doesn't need convincing to make more NHL games available to more people.
And that is, of course, something the NHL is aware of. In fact, it's kind of why they do it in the first place, so that fans in Manitoba, for example, are more likely to become Jets fans, and fans in B.C. are more likely to become Canucks fans.
Christopher van Dyke September 2, 2014 at 11:44 pm
We'll agree to disagree Steve :)
Tim September 2, 2014 at 11:25 pm
I suspect they want you to subscribe to Bettmanvision Online if you live out of market for games… well, except east of Quebec City where they don't have the market penetration for wireless.
Why don't you cheer for the teams you have in Western Canada?
John Haley September 2, 2014 at 5:41 pm
So, that helps understand it better. But what it doesn't explain is what happens with Centre Ice and GameCentre Live as far as Habs games go and who covers them. If I pay for Centre Ice (rip off) do I get to watch the Habs on Sportsnet east, or through the lame broadcasting crew of the team playing the Habs. Same question for GameCentre Live, is it any different for them as far as coverage of the Habs is concerned. But why on earth this isn't a bigger deal is because no one west of Quebec primarily reads any of this coverage. And why can no one provide a decent, solid answer to the coverage question. Bettman's gotta go, what a sad time for people who used to enjoy the Habs on RDS.
But what it doesn't explain is what happens with Centre Ice and GameCentre Live as far as Habs games go and who covers them.
We should know this soon, possibly as early as Wednesday.
"Relax, Dad. We can still watch the game on FibreOP. "
Thanks Steve. (I think you might have made a new reader.)

Related to this, is Videotron now including TVA Sports for all? I noticed it enabled on my Illico, and I see nothing about a free preview.
Fagstein Post author September 3, 2014 at 11:53 am
Is that TVA Sports (channel 23/623), or TVA Sports 2 (channel 24/624)? The latter is in preview because it hasn't launched yet.
Marc September 3, 2014 at 12:49 pm
TVA Sports 623. I never had it as one of my a la carte channels. Now I do, so I was wondering if they now include it in the basic service.
Nope. It's on free preview until Oct. 15, along with TVA Sports 2.
James September 3, 2014 at 7:20 pm
So I don't need RDS anymore, esp. since Videotron forves you to take RDS 2 also in your 30 channel custom package. And I already have the 360/Sportsnet & City is in basic. So I could switch RDS & RDS2 for more English channels, like TSN3 to 5 eventually. Hmmm..
So I don't need RDS anymore, esp. since Videotron forces you to take RDS 2 also in your 30 channel custom package.
It's more that RDS forces Videotron to do that, either through a specific agreement on packaging, or by setting the price of RDS alone so high it would otherwise be a premium channel, or both.
Janes September 4, 2014 at 9:15 pm
Ahh OK, good to know that it is RDS that forces RDS2. Anyway, there is now nothing I can't get on English channels RDS has. At least TVA Sports has some Mtl Impact games I can't get elsewhere but hope they don't force TVA2 on me. Too bad there is not much local sports live coverage like Junior /Senior level soccer or Lower level hockey like in the old Videotron cable channel or even the old Heros du Samedi on Radio-Canada.
Anyway, there is now nothing I can't get on English channels RDS has.
As a general rule, most of the stuff on RDS is also on TSN or Sportsnet. Though there are some differences.
hope they don't force TVA2 on me.
TVA Sports 2 is included with TVA Sports. It's two feeds of the same service, much like TSN.
Too bad there is not much local sports live coverage like Junior /Senior level soccer or Lower level hockey like in the old Videotron cable channel or even the old Heros du Samedi on Radio-Canada.
There will be coverage of CHL (WHL, OHL, QMJHL) games on Sportsnet and TVA Sports. Going lower than that, though, and the demand for content doesn't really justify the cost of providing the coverage.

It has been a year of unprecedented change at Dufferin County's museum.
A fresh name, upgraded space and breathtaking new exhibits – it has been a transformation unlike anything in the facility's rich 25-year history.
Sitting down with the Citizen this week, the museum's Curator Sarah Robinson, Archivist Laura Camilleri and Marketing & Events Coordinator Nanci Malek discussed what has been a monumental transition over the past 12 months.
It all began in early 2017, when the museum learned it would be receiving $150,000 in federal funding to upgrade the facility. The team immediately set out on a plan to reimagine the second-floor mezzanine and build a permanent home befitting of the museum's crown jewel – Corn Flower glassware. The doors of Dufferin County Museum & Archives were closed for eight months, from January to August last year, as work on the new exhibit, as well some other notable upgrades, were carried out.
While the community was bracing itself for a grand opening – for both the renamed Museum of Dufferin and the Corn Flower exhibit – Ms. Robinson was working hard on another project she was eager to roll out, that being a brand new display she called 'Temperance and Temptation'. It debuted on Aug. 5, 2018.
Set up on the museum's main level, the exhibit takes visitors on a trip through time. Set in 1904, the central feature of 'Temperance and Temptation' is a recreation of the old Alexandra House hotel, which once stood on Broadway across from Town Hall. The building was demolished in 1989 when it fell into disrepair, making way for a paved parking lot.
Archivist on the Road will continue for the remainder of 2019. The next scheduled event is to be held in Orangeville on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14), with the focus of that day's workshop centring on love letters.
A new, remodeled website came hand-in-hand with an upgraded facility. Now, Museum of Dufferin offers a wide array of online services, including a genealogy database, a collections database and even online exhibits. Sufferin' in Dufferin debuted late last year and tells the story of the Spanish Flu, which killed more than 30 million people worldwide between 1918 and 1919.
Also coming up in 2019, the museum will host an art exhibit titled 'Nature and Structure', debuting on April 28. Featuring work by Emilia Perri, owner of Maggiolly Art Supplies in Orangeville, the display will be a "wonderful addition" to the Museum of Dufferin, says Ms. Malek. Another planned temporary exhibit is the 'Dwelling Museum', created by Debbie Ebanks. This particular exhibit, which will open on Sept. 15, also an art display and will focus on the stories of recent newcomers to Canada and the way they have gone about building a new home.
Each of those two travelling exhibits will run alongside 'Temperance and Temptation' and 'True. Grit.' – the museum's two main floor exhibits. 'True. Grit.' has been a mainstay at the museum since May 2017 and features 45 individuals and 26 different themes that embody the rich history and deep sense of community that flows through Dufferin County. The exhibit has been a huge success, says Ms. Robinson, and will run until December of this year.
As impressed as this reporter was with the many offerings on the main level of the museum, it's the newly redesigned second level that truly takes the breath away. The Museum of Dufferin boasts the single largest public collection of Corn Flower glassware anywhere in the world, with more than 2,500 unique pieces. Now, it also has a dedicated display to match any other.
The 472 unique pieces of Corn Flower, a type of glassware recognized for its popular floral patterns and created by one-time Dufferin County resident W.J. Hughes, sit in a beautiful array of displays, glowing thanks to state-of-the-art lighting design. Since the gallery's grand opening last November, hundreds of residents have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the exhibit.
"That wasn't always a part of our display before. A lot of it was just to make sure we get the glass into a display so people could see it. Now we've been able to incorporate something of a story, which I think people have really appreciated," Ms. Robinson added.
While the Corn Flower gallery is a permanent exhibit, it won't be a fixed one, Sarah says.
"Every year or so we'll bring in new pieces, rotate things in and out. We designed the displays so that they could be edited. I think it's important to change things up every now and again," Ms. Robinson said.
With one eye on the future, Sarah says she's already started working on a new exhibit she plans to debut in 2020. Taking over from the 'True. Grit.' display on the main level, the new feature will focus on life in the 1920s.

Brazil's Bolsonaro wants Israel embassy moved to Jerusalem
Far-right president-elect vows to fulfill his promise in an interview with Israeli newspaper 'Israel Hayom'.
Brazil's President-elect Jair Bolsonaro has told an Israeli newspaper he intends to defy the Palestinians and most of the world by moving his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Asked in an interview with Israel Hayom published on Thursday if he would move Brazil's embassy, as he had indicated during his campaign, Bolsonaro said Israel should decide where its capital is located.
"When I was asked during the campaign if I'd do it when I became president, I said 'yes, the one who decides on the capital of Israel is you, not other nations'," he told the paper, which is a firm backer of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Brazil would become the second major country after the United States to do so.
Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its "united" capital, and its annexation of occupied East Jerusalem in 1967 effectively put the entire city under de-facto Israeli control.
The Palestinians, however, see occupied East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
The international community does not recognise Israel's jurisdiction and ownership of the city.
The status of Jerusalem
Palestinians say that moving the embassy would prejudge one of the most sensitive issues in the conflict – the status of Jerusalem – and undermine the US' status as an honest mediator.
In December, President Donald Trump reversed long-standing US policy and recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, prompting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to boycott his administration.
The embassy was officially transferred on May 14, with Guatemala and Paraguay following suit, though the latter announced last month it would return its embassy to Tel Aviv.
Bolsonaro, 63, who won a runoff election on Sunday, has outraged many with his overtly misogynistic, homophobic and racist rhetoric.
Following his victory, Netanyahu told Bolsonaro he was certain his election "will lead to a great friendship between our peoples and the tightening of links between Brazil and Israel."
An official in Netanyahu's office told AFP the Israeli prime minister was "very likely" to attend Bolsonaro's inauguration ceremony in January.

Today I found KChess, the chess software for Kindle in Amazon. It's built by Oak Leisure Systems Software and is available for $2.99 only.
It has 10 levels of strength, level 1 being the easiest and 10 the strongest. I was surprised to see how good even Level 1 plays. I have won against that after some accurate play and had to play all through a rook end game to win against Level 2. I am now playing against Level 3 and looks like this is the level where I will be stopped for the moment. The app is surprisingly well designed. I wish I could save the games that I play - that's one thing that can be done as additional feature in future release of this app.
I am so happy to get this. This game itself made me think again - Kindle Rocks!

Q: libtiff4 under Ubuntu14.04 With the release of Ubuntu14.04, Ubuntu is using libtiff5 and not libtiff4 any more. However some programs/libraries etc are still using libtiff4 and therefore do not work under 14.04 any longer. My question now, is there any way to install libtiff4 (not just libtiff4-dev) under Ubuntu14.04?

A: You should be able to do so by downloading the .deb file from the Ubuntu repo web page: here.
Simply select your architecture, select a mirror from the list, and under "Open with" select "Ubuntu Software Center"
Hope this works!
It should be noted, however, that there are definite stability and security issues with using software that is no longer being maintained.

Modern Kazakh artists presented their masterpieces in Astana. Joint exposition of Bakhyt-Nur Berdesbekov, Adilgali Bayandin and Abai Chunchalinov has been opened at the Military History Museum as part of EXPO 2017. The aim of the exhibition is to introduce the rich Kazakh culture to the residents and guests of the capital city. The portraits of great warriors, famous historical figures and the most beautiful women of the Great Steppe conveyed the spirit of the past times. The paintings have special masculine energy, the canvas depict real battles, warriors in armor, armed with swords. According to art critics, authors, members of the Union of Artists of Kazakhstan, tend to symbolism and abstract expressionism. Their unique style has long been known and recognized in the U.S., Germany, Canada, Turkey and Korea.
- 16 paintings are exhibited here. I mainly paint domestic settings, battles, plot compositions in realistic style.
- I try to depict the images of our great ancestors on the canvas. I paint in my own style but try to retain the true spirit of the past for younger generations. I want my paintings to be distinct from other. A painter always looks for his or her own style. I think the best painting is of course the portrait of Shamshi Kaldayakov.
According to art critics, the artist didn't just depict all the richness of the Kazakh culture but also reflected the deep inner peace and a philosophical view of the past and future of Kazakh people. The Kazakh artists' exhibition will be open until September 15th.

The day is here, or in my case almost over. Bloggers all over are posting on poverty and I stayed busy and almost let it slip by. I have been thinking today about spiritual poverty and how it goes hand in hand with physical and economic poverty. In a nation that has boasted that it is the richest nation in the world we have poverty and how can that be? How can so many have so much and some still go to bed hungry.
There is a story that I read about what heaven and hell are like. A man goes on a tour of heaven and hell. At his first stop, there is a group of people sitting around a pot. Wonderful smells are coming from the pot and the people have spoons that are long enough to reach the pot, but so long that when they try to maneuver them to their mouths, the spoons tip and the stew spills out before they can eat. They are all weeping and moaning from hunger.
The next stop the same wonderful smelling stew is cooking in the pot and people are sitting around the pot with the same long spoons but they are all happy and talking and no one is hungry.
The man is told that the first stop was hell – plenty to eat but everyone hungry. The second stop is heaven and the only difference is that the second group has learned to feed each other.
It is spiritual poverty that has our country in the economic state it is in. Everyone has plenty and big long spoons to eat it with, but we haven't learned to feed each other.
We have been studying the minor prophets at church and in nearly every case of troubled times, a prophet would call for a time of fasting and praying. Our pastor suggested we as a congregation call a fast. They will have the church open at 6 in the morning so people can stop for prayer and worship before work, for a time at lunch, and again after work. The fast is not a requirement for anyone – you are invited to participate if you want and are medically able. You can just pray if you don't feel led to fast.
There will be directed prayer as we pray for our country, our community, and our ministry as a congregation as well as quite worship time.
I thought it was a fitting way to look at blog action day – doing without food by choice as a reminder of those who go without so much and as a prayer for those who have so much.
If you know me then you know it will not hurt me to miss a meal. I don't know if I will make it the whole way, but whatever hunger I feel will be a reminder to me of how blessed I am to have the choice and to know that while I might choose to go without food, I can if I so choose, head for the refrigerator at 2 A.M. and eat my fill and so can my children.
I know that I can make the house note this month and the electric bill will be paid so I will be able to keep posting on this computer. I have my choice of shoes and clothes to wear and they are all clean because I have a washer and dryer and water.
My hope and prayer for our nation is that we would be a people of heaven, that we would be filled by so much more than food, and that we would learn to feed each other and stop trying to fill ourselves with the junk of the world that leaves us with a yearning for something the world can't give us.
If we want to cure poverty, we need to cure the spiritual poverty that has caused us to harden our hearts to the needs around us. The change that would happen externally is going to have to start internally in our hearts.

International Conference - ICSOT 2006: Design, Construction and Operation Of Natural Gas Carriers and Offshore Systems : 133-146. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.
Abstract: The long term extreme pressure in the membrane LNG tank and structural response of the Mark III containment system are addressed. The effect of hull slamming-induced vibrations on the vertical acceleration is investigated and found to be important in certain situations. Determining structural response due to sloshing requires a stepwise approach considering: long term variation of the sea state, ship motion in a stochastic seaway, fluid motion in the tanks, pressures acting on the tank structure, structural load effects and their comparison with the appropriate resistance. This paper is focused on the determination of the critical conditions in order to limit the number of combinations of sea states, vessel heading and speed that need to be considered in estimating extreme sloshing pressures. In this context an approximate method is introduced and validated. These sea states are determined by a full linear long term analysis. The response quantiles suitable for the contour line approach are also found using simplified criteria. The effect of avoiding heavy weather in vessel operation on sloshing and whipping-induced pressures is investigated. Sloshing experiments and various scaling approaches are described. Application of the generalized Pareto distribution and correctly determining its shape parameter is discussed. Structural response of the LNG membrane tank wall is investigated. The importance of accounting for the steel flexibility in calculating sloshing response is shown. A new method for approximating the time history of sloshing impact pressure is suggested. ©2006: Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

As well as gaining qualifications and boosting their employability, the students also play a vital role in the ancient woodland's conservation.
The group posted on Facebook: "Pathway maintenance and the felling of the unsafe trees which benefit the many visitors will have to be postponed or stopped.
"CEP would like to thank Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and the police for their work and support today."
A Leicestershire Police spokesperson said: "Around 10am on Sunday, February 28 officers were called by Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service to assist in dealing with a fire at Holly Hayes Wood, Whitwick.

CFO's Guide to Expense Management Platforms | Divvy Pay Inc.
Over time, many CFOs have inspired executives to set and meet financial goals. They aspire to new levels each year, and the success of a company hinges upon the CFO's ability to balance risk and reward. You approve budgets to grow the company and implement policies to minimize overspend and waste. One way to get those gears in place has taken off in the last few years in the form of expense management platforms. In a 2016 survey of 500 CFOs, 50% of companies use a manual process (spreadsheets, pen and paper, homegrown systems), where 35% of businesses have switched to web-based processing, and 15% use an ERP software, with manual users changing to web and cloud-based systems every day.
As manual expense management goes the way of the dodo, you may want to look inwardly at your current process. It may be time to evaluate whether using an automated expense management platform fits your business goals. The average processing costs of a single expense drops from $26.63 to $6.85, with non-subscription based companies like Divvy lowering the price even further. So what are the immediate benefits, what is the short term and long term cost, and why will manual expense processing exist in the annals of history and hopefully never in an office again?
Switching to a simpler expense management platform improves many facets of business, so let's get to it.
Part of developing a solid environment includes the ability to control the allocation and approval of funds. Setting up an automated system lets you indicate those in your organization that need access to funds. The best automated expense management platforms allow you to indicate the dollar amount that each tier of leadership can approve without getting an override from a manager above them. It also gives managers the ability to directly monitor the spending trends of their directs through generating reports or at-a-glance KPI dashboards.
You can ensure compliance with company policies and regulate adherence to the policies by automatically disapproving or flagging out-of-policy purchases that require a special override. Compared to manually auditing expense reports, the average mid-sized company sees a savings of $40,000 annually without error and fraud sapping valuable resources. Since you can easily monitor the spend of every individual, department, and business as a whole, it's simple to see areas of overspend and course correct before overspending turns into a blown budget. You can receive notifications when individuals or departments get within a certain percentage of reaching budget capacity and either allocate more funds, or temporarily freezing spend if necessary.
With greater transparency into daily, monthly, and yearly spend, you can begin to manage spend proactively, rather than reactively. We call this Proactive Expense Management (PEM) or Spend Management. PEM translates into greater control over every aspect of expense reporting, from approving expenses on the go to raising and lowering limits according to your business's needs. No more waiting for the end of the month or the end of the quarter to course correct. When driving a Ferrari, you definitely want power-steering for tight turns, but you also need to make sure that you have an alarm installed just in case.
"Revenue growth and disciplined expense management will generate the cash a business needs to invest, seize growth opportunities, and return consistent value to owners." – John Stephens, CFO of AT&T.
A disciplined expense management policy is only as good as the employees who uphold it. With an automated system, the policy gets worked right into the approval process, greatly reducing the possibility for fraud and abuse. It also recognizes and limits overspending, whether intentional or unintentional by flagging large purchases, or approvals that put a person/department over budget. With automated checks and balances in place, the financing team will not need to spend painstaking hours making sure every report follows protocol and has the correct approvals in place.
Rather than issuing physical company cards that could get lost, borrowed, or stolen, Divvy allows you to issue temporary, virtual cards for an approved amount and vendor, making fraud much less likely. Another fantastic safety measure, some automated platforms allow an immediate freeze on spend if the card becomes compromised in any way, and simply will not work if the purchase doesn't meet pre-approved parameters set by the admin. This is all great, but ease of use plays a large role in user adoption.
Some expense management platforms have hidden costs, not to mention a very involved implementation and training period that slows the initial adoption of the program, but also causes a disruption in the day-to-day operation for employees. Depending on the size of your organization, the initial cost of a new expense management platform, coupled with monthly, per-user subscription fees could add up to a pretty penny. Most companies advertise their system costing anywhere from $8-$30 per person, per month, not accounting for the supplemental costs of implementation, training, technical support, and additional admins. The higher the cost at the outset, the longer it takes to achieve ROI.
Divvy stands apart as the first free and fully automated expense management platform. Setup quickly with the online wizard, and begin using the system in a matter of minutes. No drawn-out implementation time, and no upfront, monthly, or hidden cost. To begin, input your information as the system prompts you, indicate policy notifications, and set your spending limits, then start utilizing the technology to simplify spend management. It allows you to see purchases made by your teams in real-time, allowing you to dive into the world of Proactive Expense Management without worrying about disruption to your workforce.
Once the automated system starts working its magic, employees can spend more time on their actual job, rather than coding receipts and filling out spreadsheets. Department heads can generate and easily create KPI reports and snapshots of their budget to monitor overspend, and find ways to better utilize company money. The finance department can fulfill their core responsibilities instead of pouring over reports in search of errors and fraud, or searching out employees for missing receipts. As CFO, you can start working on your next money-saving venture. Fortunately, Divvy makes the magic happen immediately. With other platforms, achieving ROI can take quite a bit longer.
With subscription-based expense management models, companies report a return on investment ranging anywhere from 6 months to 36 months. After incurring the initial starting costs listed above, return takes more time based on the size of the business, the number of users and admins, the amount of reports generated, and the amount of support needed in case of technical difficulties, etc.
Utilizing a free service without a subscription model, implementation costs, training, and supplemental fees will contribute to realizing ROI much more rapidly, if not immediately. The benefits of the investment manifest not only in eliminated redundancies, overspend, and errors, but in saved time. With the automated system, employees can divert the hours per week that they previously spent filing and re-filing expense reports to their core job description. The efficiency and simplicity of the system yields greater returns in the short and long term.
Automating spend removes many common pain points and allows people to improve efficiency on a day to day basis. Some common pain points include employees losing paper receipts, failure to submit reports on time, the time it takes to reconcile, review, and approve reports, policy violations, errors, and the time it takes to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket expenses.
Eliminating these pain points removes a large amount of stress from all parties involved in the process. The simplicity of automating expenses, and the faster reimbursement time improves the quality of life for employees. Quick and easy approvals, with greater visibility into spend paired with mobile access translates into happier managers. Less red tape, more control, and better security along with reduced (or non-existent) onboarding cost, and more efficient use of company assets equates to happy executives and investors.
Using Divvy's free expense management platform not only eliminates risk, it also provides all of the benefits of a web-based system and greater visibility into spend. We currently own truly agile financial visibility in the expense management space, increasing your ability to make proactive decisions and ditch the reactive expense model of the not-too-distant past.
Divvy is the first free and fully automated spend management platform. We're pretty excited about a future without expense reports. Join us on our adventure.

Minnesota has the second-longest integrated snowmobile trail system in the US, with more than 22,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, according to the Minnesota United Snowmobilers Association (MnUSA).
Many of the trails through Minnesota are made possible by landowners who are willing to allow local snowmobile or snowmobile trail associations to create trails across the landowners' property.
Snowmobile and snowmobile trail associations map, design, construct, mark, groom, and maintain approximately 21,200 miles of trails in Minnesota, with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) maintaining the rest, according to MnUSA.
In 1973, the Minnesota Legislature delegated the responsibility of administering a cost-sharing program for the development and maintenance of snowmobile trails to the DNR.
The purpose of the program, known as the grants-in-aid (GIA) program, was to create and maintain locally initiated trails throughout Minnesota with the financial assistance of the state, according to Mike Carlson, member of the Carver County Snowrunners.
The funding for GIA comes from snowmobile registration, snowmobile trail pass stickers, and 1 percent of the unrefunded gas tax, which represents the tax paid on gas purchased by snowmobilers for non-highway use, according to Ted Pribyl, vice president of the Wright County Snowmobilers Association (WCSA).
GIA is given to associations based on location in the state, average snowfall, length of season, and other criteria.
Any expenses not covered by GIA are paid for by the associations with fundraisers, donations, and charitable gambling, according to MnUSA.
Associations rely heavily on volunteers to provide the labor and tools needed to maintain the trails each winter, as GIA primarily covers only fuel and maintenance for the groomers, according to Carlson.
In Region 8, Southwest Trails Association maintains the trails in Carver County, with members of the Carver County Snowrunners volunteering their help, according to Carver County Snowrunners president Scott Wakefield.
In Wright County, the WCSA maintains the trails with the help of local club volunteers. There are five grooming machines in Wright County, which are operated by club members from the Cokato Ridge Runners, Monticello Trailblazers, St. Michael Foxtailers, Albertville Snowmobile Club, Rockford Ridge Riders, and Delano Snow Stormers, according to Pribyl.
When an association is mapping a trail and it decides the trail should go across private property, it seeks permission from the landowner, according to MnUSA.
For landowners, a groomed and marked trail provides a safe channeling of snowmobile traffic across the property, away from the homestead, livestock, equipment, tile stakes, and culverts, Carlson said.
A landowner giving permission to an association for the use of a strip of land for trail use signs a landowner trail permit, which automatically covers the landowner under Minnesota statute in the unlikely event of a claim resulting from the snowmobile trail on the property, according to MnUSA.
The landowner is also covered by the local associations' trail liability insurance, which is $1.5 million for WCSA. Landowners are better off being part of the GIA trail system for injured snowmobiler liability purposes, according to Pribyl.
When granting permission to use land for a snowmobile trail, landowners should walk the trail with a representative from the association asking for permission, specifying the exact layout, width, and signage required on the trail, according to MnUSA.
The landowner should also make the representative aware of any gates or fences that need attention, crops that need to be protected, and what work the landowner will allow the association to do for the trail (erecting gates, building bridges or culverts, etc.).
Any agreements should be placed on the site map and also noted in the landowner trail permit, initialed by both parties.
The landowner is not responsible for the trail in any way. Depending on snowfall, snowmobile trails open Dec. 1 and close March 31. Landowners are only granting trail permission during that time period, according to MnUSA.
In the fall, usually after deer hunting season, volunteers from the association check the trails and remove any fallen trees and branches, and sometimes, disc a plowed field if it is too rough, Pribyl said.
Volunteers also erect trail signs indicating where the trail is, and that snowmobile riders are to stay on the trail.
Along with being covered for any injured snowmobiler claims that occur on their property, landowners that allow snowmobile trails to run through their property receive other benefits.
One benefit is having a well-maintained snowmobile trail right out the back door. The presence of a snowmobile trail through the property often adds value to the land at no cost to the landowner, according to MnUSA.
Landowner-approved, association-implemented improvements to the land, such as grading, widening, bridging, and adding culverts, can enhance the landowner's use of the land during other seasons as well, according to MnUSA.
WCSA also has an annual appreciation dinner for landowners granting the association permission to have a snowmobile trail through their properties.

Fifty Years Of Rapid Transit, 1864-1917

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1918. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI Public Ownership Assured--The Rapid Transit Act And Commission Of 1894. HT HE failure of the Stein way Commission to bring about the construction of new rapid transit lines spurred the people of New York City to further efforts. Led by Mayor Hewitt and the Chamber of Commerce, the citizens appealed to the Legislature of 1894 for some sort of legislation which would bring about the long desired result. The act passed in accordance with the plan of Mayor Hewitt, May 22,1894, accomplished what previous acts had failed to achieve mainly if not entirely because of the provision for public ownership. This made possible the use of the city's credit in providing the millions needed to bring the great project to fruition. "The great object aimed at," said Mr. Hewitt in the address before quoted, "was to secure the early completion of the work, its continued ownership by the city and its reversion at the end of fifty years to the city, free and clear of all encumbrances of every kind and nature whatever." While this feature was new, the statute in form was but an amendment of the act of 1891, which, though it failed of its immediate purpose, nevertheless was the first practicable legislation since the act of 1875. This was recognized by the board created in 1894, and in its first published report it gave credit to the important work done by its predecessor under the act of 1891. Governor Flower signed the bill of 1894 on the day of its enactment, namely May 22, and it went into effect immediately. By its terms a new board, known as the Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners, was substituted for that appointed under the act of 1891. The act itself provided that the new board should consist of the Mayor and the Controller of New York City and the president...

'Why would you ever go see a movie in theaters if you could watch it at home?' This was a legitimate question I was asked once and I'm sure a lot of people honestly probably feel the same way. This past weekend I had the opportunity to go see Psycho at the local theater here in New Orleans. (Shoutout to the Prytania). I've seen Psycho probably 5 times prior, but none of the viewing experiences even came close to this one. While I knew each sequence of the film, I still found myself in both a constant state of suspense and shock. Of course, that might have been the doing of the great Hitchcock, but I think there are a few other reasons why seeing a film in theaters is so much more impactful.
For starters, there's a few social norms that have to be upheld in the theater. No talking and no texting. This forces you to put the side conversations and phones away and give your undivided attention to the screen. This is something that's completely lost at home. Not only is it not as engaging watching a film on a regular tv, but you're surrounded by distractions as well as no one else who will judge you for getting distracted or being a distraction. Now you have no choice but to be fully engaged with what's unfolding in front of you.
On top of that, sound plays such a crucial part in your perception of your film. Whether you watch a movie through the speakers on your tv, your headphones, or in a theater, the experience is going to be completely different. In theaters you get that badass sound system that what's happening in front of the camera, get's played through speakers up front while all the action behind the camera plays out the speakers in the back. What this does is put you smack dab in the middle of the story. You're no longer a spectator watching through a screen, you're alongside the characters in the story.
Furthermore, I think a large reason why it's hard for people to appreciate or find the appreciation for old films, his because we rarely, if ever, have the same opportunity to experience in the manner it was intended. Obviously, there are other reasons why people can't latch on to older films, because of technology and advancements in storytelling and acting. But, when you get that opportunity to experience a classic in a theater, that's the closest you can get to time travel.
