What is a retail management system and why do you need one?
If you run a successful retail business, you have a good reason to feel proud. Retail is a notoriously challenging industry to work in, and only the most capable business people have succeeded.
As your retail business grows, the volume of data balloons and it becomes increasingly difficult to handle. Without a sound retail system in place, data like customer orders, inventory, shipping and so on must be tracked and organised manually, resulting in high staff costs and increasing the likelihood of errors.
Every time you want to do something new or change a business process you find that it is very difficult. Making disjointed legacy systems and spreadsheets work together is a daunting task and trying to change them later is even harder.
Have you ever felt like the various departments in your organisation were operating on different planets? A retail management system places all data in one centralised database system, synchronising your cash registers, inventory, online shop(s), customer data, warehouses and supply chain.
Implementing a comprehensive system to manage a retail enterprise does take time and effort. Still, once you've gotten over that hurdle, you won't look back, as your retail business will not only run more smoothly but also be more capable of expansion than before. It will become scalable.
While selecting a good retail system vendor and putting in place a strong team will win half the battle, there are still several things you should do in order to ensure the highest chances of success. Because enterprise-wide system implementation requires cooperation at every rung of your organisation, it is crucial that you start on the right foot by driving your team members to make the necessary preparations, to enable your system vendor to work without obstructions.
This guide was written with the aim of demystifying the retail system implementation process and making businesses aware of what they should expect and do to prepare for an imminent enterprise-wide system implementation.
We hope you will find this guide useful and wish your retail business the greatest success possible!
The very first step, and arguably the most important, is to choose a reliable system vendor who not only provides you with a product that suits your business but who is also able to provide implementation services, to make the introduction of the new system to your business as seamless as possible.
The vendor should be fluent in retail – A good retail system vendor is more than just a generic systems provider. Retail systems are wildly different from other types of systems, so engaging a vendor who specialises in retail is crucial to ensuring a smooth transition.
The vendor has a solid track record – One should beware of unknown system providers, but even a well known vendor does not ensure success. Just because a vendor has made numerous sales doesn't mean that the majority of the attempted implementations have been successful. It is best to engage a vendor with a perfect or near-perfect success rate. This is not easy as few retail system vendors are prepared to do what it takes and see through every implementation to a successful end. Changing market conditions, retailers' key staff changes, new business requirements and poor quality data in the legacy systems may all obstruct the project. By the way: beware of vendors who are just resellers. They are unlikely to have the level of commitment and agility you can get from the vendors who actually developed the software.
The vendor's solutions can be easily adapted to your business model – Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all computer system. The right system for you must be retail-specific, so the vendor doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to cater to your business processes.
The vendor should be able to implement the system for you – While it might be tempting to cut costs by going for a cookie-cutter system with parts of the system implemented on your own, the huge costs involved when a job is botched make this a bad idea. Ideally, a vendor should be able to implement the system for you from start to finish, and in all parts of your business.
The vendor's solutions are market-proven, scalable and cost-effective – A great vendor becomes great by delivering smooth solutions, and you'll want to look for a track record of already implemented market-proven, scalable and cost-effective systems that can successfully grow with your businesses.
The vendor is reliable and trustworthy – You will be working very closely with your system vendors, and will have to make them privy to some very intimate information. Hence, it is important to pick a vendor that is reliable, trustworthy and makes the effort to understand your business.
The vendor is able to implement the system quickly and successfully – When it comes to implementing a retail system for the entire enterprise, speed matters. The longer implementation takes, the messier things can become as the market and business never stand still, and the more difficult it will be for your staff to straddle the old and new systems. Watch our video on why retail IT implementations fail.
The vendor does not offer the cheapest solutions on the market – When determining a budget for a new retail system, we would like to caution against aiming to pay rock bottom prices for the cheapest solutions on the market. Cheap, DIY templates usually end up costing well-meaning businesses more money than they imagined by forcing them to hire their own consultants and, more often than not, to spend on damage control when things go wrong.
The vendor's platform delivers progressive functionality without complexity – The technology required to stay relevant and competitive in retail is ever changing. It's critical that your system vendor offers a feature-rich platform with latent and constantly evolving functionality that you can turn on as your business grows, and as the landscape transforms. Right now, omni-channel capabilities must be innate in the retail system you select. And, looking ahead, the right vendor will be able to guide you towards the technological necessities of tomorrow.
No one can predict exactly how much a full implementation of a new retail system will cost you. Many variables come into play at each stage of the process. Solid upfront analysis must be done to narrow down the expected costs, but you still need to bear in mind the possibility that your cost may end up deviating quite a bit from your initial estimates.
So it is prudent to plan to spend only 80% of your budget to allow for unforeseen implementation costs. Spending must be reviewed on a regular basis, and if you find that you are spending considerably more or less than expected, you need to reassess the state of the project.
Once implementation of the new system is under way, here are some money management pointers you might find useful.
Review the business process and consider altering your processes to help the transition along. This can lower costs by reducing time wastage and unnecessary software configuration or modifications.
One of the culprits of cost overrun is mismanaged training and education of staff, which businesses tend either to underestimate or go overboard with. A well-crafted training plan is crucial to saving costs in this area.
It is generally a good idea to start training your staff as late as possible, so that any new knowledge and skills can be immediately used. Starting the training process too early can result in a need for repetition and refreshing, and wasted efforts in the event of staff turnover.
The project should be run as fast as safely possible so that costs are not wasted due to changes in staff or the business itself.
Data import and migration is another high cost area, and much care should be taken to prepare data prior to implementation.
Implementing a new retail system is a massive undertaking, so you will want to adapt some of your business processes to suit the new system to make the IT part of the project simpler. Don't be intimidated — adapting your business processes to make them compatible with the new system is a lot less scary than it sounds.
While most retail packages can be tweaked to suit your existing business, and indeed a good system vendor will aim to configure the system to match your processes, problems arise when your existing processes have been put in place by tradition or personal preferences rather than by structured review and process design. In many cases, it is advisable to correct lacking business processes rather than to have a system designed around practices that are flawed and liable to cause problems somewhere down the road.
For instance, if stock arrives in the stores without purchase orders, this is considered a poor practice irrespective of reasons. The introduction of the new system could be the catalyst to change this practice.
As your team members may initially be resistant to change, it is important to communicate closely with them to ensure they appreciate why any changes need to be made. While the teething stages may be challenging, it is crucial that your teammates understand that amending your current practices can pay great dividends in future.
Of course, not all business processes should be changed. This is particularly true when your business processes constitute a strategic advantage over your competitors.
As we have mentioned in the previous section, it is important to communicate effectively at every rung of your organisation in order to help the transition along. While the technical aspects of the new system will be handled by competent vendors, the onus of facilitating a smooth internal change falls on you.
Evaluating readiness for change within a team can be notoriously difficult, but once you have made the commitment to push through with the necessary changes, don't be afraid to engage the team with a clear end goal in mind.
Have change managed by professionals – Never underestimate how well a change can be managed. Poor change management can thwart your efforts to migrate to the new system and escalate costs. As such, it is advisable to assemble a competent change management team which includes a project management professional.
Define key steps in your change management plan – Change management should be conducted in an orderly fashion in accordance with a sound plan. In addition, all team members should be kept apprised of the timelines for each step in the change management plan.
Engage senior executives to oversee change management implementation – Even if your change management team is handling most of the key areas in the plan, it is important that the entire process be overseen by key persons in the organisation who can ensure that their team members are cooperating well internally and with the vendor.
Use the system to drive business change – If you've picked a great new system and a vendor who are right for your business, then you have created a solid base to enhance not only your systems but the business as a whole. Your task is to effectively communicate this to your team and help them to understand how they will benefit from the move and the impending changes.
Remember that integrated retail platforms work best when deployed across the entire business – The more facets of the business over which you deploy the new system, the greater the benefits and the more smoothly your business processes and departments can be connected and synchronised. Bear this in mind if you encounter resistance from certain departments in your organisation. It is not uncommon for the departments to try to hold on to their old departmental tools and demand that they be integrated with the new system instead of being replaced by it.
Cleansing of the existing data is one of the first challenges you'll encounter on the road to successful implementation. As a functioning business, you are likely to have an extensive collection of records which constitute an asset and need to be retained within the new system. But, not all of the old data is valuable. Data cleansing covers the process of identifying obsolete records and correcting discrepancies, inaccuracies or corrupt information in your existing records.
The importance of conducting a thorough data cleansing exercise prior to, or as part of migration to a new system cannot be overstressed. Usually it is very difficult to estimate the amount of time and resources needed for data cleansing, as unexpected issues have a habit of cropping up during the process of progressive discovery.
A shoddily-completed data cleansing exercise can hamper the effectiveness of the implementation and staff training. It can also negatively impact system operations after it goes live. As such, it is crucial that data cleansing be taken seriously and solid plans put in place before it begins.
Note that you should expect the new system to be equipped with a range of tools to allow for easy import, validation and upload of the data from your legacy systems.
Never skip on planning and defining the data uptake, as hours saved at the start can result in days lost later on. Retail businesses typically deal with considerable volumes of legacy data, and this has to be worked through systematically.
Some of the biggest challenges you'll have is the need to deal with dispersed legacy systems and data and creating the requirements for an iterative data migration. Some of the data in the existing systems will be repeated and it will be inconsistent. All such inconsistencies will have to be investigated and rectified.
It is possible to begin data cleansing anytime. For instance, any inconsistencies such as the absence of standard addresses can be corrected starting from today, well before the implementation of the new system starts.
When your new system provider has given the green light that the system has been implemented, there are still a few things that must be done to ensure that the system runs as smoothly as possible.
A good system should have come complete with built-in tools for auditing and consistency proofing, meaning you should not have to conduct your own general system tests after implementation. You should be able to just conduct User Acceptance Tests to satisfy yourself that the parts of the system you will use behave the way you expected.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process requires your super users to verify their parts of the new system. Following the UAT, volume testing needs to take place as well.
Once all the necessary verification has been carried out, it is time for your system to go live. While you may be tempted to immediately deploy the system in its entirety, it is worth noting that gradual deployment is preferable to making the entire system go live at once, even after multiple rehearsals, as problems invariably emerge during the cut-over. It is wise to keep the number of the emergent issues at a minimum, by deploying the system in stages.
Remembering that a successful retail system relies on four pillars, make sure that once it runs live, all of them are managed. Whilst your software vendor needs to look after the software part, you must make sure that your organisation handles the other three on an on-going basis. Processes must be followed, people must be competent (trained or re-trained if required) and data needs to be meticulously maintained. The latter covers both: all your reference data and transactional information.
Successfully implementing a modern and proven retail system can revolutionise the way your business is operated and unleash the full potential of your retail business model and strategy.
As you can see, all this doesn't come without extensive preparation and diligent planning. If you're up for the challenge, however, facilitating a successful implementation can be a huge achievement and a career highlight.
We hope that this guide has been useful in making you aware of the challenges you and your team are likely to face prior to, during and after the implementation of a new system.
We would like to emphasise that all the activities you will engage in, while demanding, are by no means impossible, and a lot of the difficulty of successfully pushing through a new system can be alleviated by proper planning and attention to detail.
Any retail business, no matter how brilliant, can benefit from a sound, efficient management system. It takes courage to dive in and reap the benefits, but it needs to be done. If you are a great merchant, you still need good tools. Like with a great musician—if you have to play on a bad instrument, your performance will be ruined. Get yourself a good one!
Finally, we need to state the obvious: while all the advice in this article is likely to work well for you, we don't know your particular situation or challenges. So, before you act based on our suggestions undertake your own research and enquiries. It never hurts to seek a broad range of insights. Also, at any time, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We are very experienced in retail system implementation and may be able to help you.

Phil LaMarr Gushes About Reprising John Stewart For Superman: Red Son
Posted by Brandon Zachary | Mar 24, 2020 | Movies, Interviews | 0
Phil LaMarr helped define the concept of the Green Lantern for an entire generation of fans thanks to his contributions to the DC Animated Universe.
LaMarr played John Stewart, the dedicated former marine and current Green Lantern, in Justice League and its sequel series Justice League Unlimited. Now almost twenty years since he first took on the role, LaMarr got the chance to reprise it in a new form – as one of the Green Lanterns sent to try and bring down the communist version of Superman in DC's new animated original film, Superman: Red Son.
Phil LaMarr spoke to The Illuminerdi during the premiere of Superman: Red Son to talk about what it's like to reprise the role of John Stewart, and what makes his appearance in this film stand out from his previous appearances.

PHIL LAMARR ON GETTING TO BE GREEN LANTERN AGAIN
What was it like getting to be John Stewart again?
PHIL LAMARR: It's like coming home. I mean, getting to do it with Bruce Timm, that's the part that's really special to me. The first time I got to play this character, it was under Bruce's production and direction. His level of quality and expertise is so great, and also to be a part of this amazing story.
What was it like getting to bounce John Stewart off of Hal Jordan, who didn't really appear in the Justice League animated series outside of a single cameo?
PHIL LAMARR: It was interesting because on the Justice League cartoon show, John was THE Green Lantern of Earth. I've never done anything where's there's a John and a Hal. In this one, it's interesting because it's a Superman story, it's not really about us. We're just the Corps. So that part is, it's not like it's 'who's Green Lantern 1 and who's Green Lantern 2″, we're all just trying to hold our own against that big Russian.
RELATED: NEW CHARACTER DETAILS FOR LOKI'S LEAD AND SUPPORTING CAST: EXCLUSIVE
How fun was it getting the chance to see your character actually take on Superman?
PHIL LAMARR: Yeah, 'chance'. That's one way of putting it. It's interesting because most of the time in superhero shows, there's not really a level of threat. But in this one, we're going against Superman. So there's actually a sense of urgency and a little bit of fear that you don't really get with Green Lantern usually. It's like 'alright guys, let's go!'
Part of the fun of Elseworlds is seeing classic characters moved to new locations and time periods. Are there any other locations or time periods you'd like to see the DC characters transitioned to next?
PHIL LAMARR: It's funny, because there are so many of those Elseworlds stories, like Batman in 1800s London or the Old West, and a lot of them are wonderful, 'I've always wondered what he'd be like as cowboy Batman' But there are a few that have the power or the imagination of this story.
[Superman: Red Son] forces you to reconsider everything you've ever assumed about what makes Superman Superman. Us nerds in the back of the comic book shop are always going 'what if Aquaman was Airman' but most of those ideas aren't that great.
Directed by DC Animation veteran Sam Liu, Superman: Red Son stars Jason Isaacs, Amy Acker, Diedrich Bader, Phil Morris, Phil LaMarr, Vanessa Marshall, Sasha Roiz, Roger Craig Smith, and Paul Williams. The film is now available digitally and will be released on home video March 17th.

Christie's Is Offering Fake Jean-Michel Basquiat Works, Artist's Sisters Claim
Sarah Cascone, March 5, 2014

A Christie's auction of alleged Jean-Michel Basquiat works is the subject a $1 million lawsuit filed on March 4 by the late artist's sisters against the auction house. Jeanine Basquiat Henveaux and Lisan Basquiat claim that many of the artworks for sale are fake, but that Christie's has inaccurately implied that they have been authenticated by the Basquiat estate.
The approximately 50-piece sale, running online through March 17, with a live auction March 6, comes from the collection of Alexis Adler, a former girlfriend of the artist. The two lived together in Adler's Lower East Side apartment between 1979 and 1980.
Seven of the works up for auction were reviewed by the estate's authentication committee before it disbanded in 2012. Only one piece, a radiator with the word "Milk" painted across it, was rejected (according to the sisters' lawyer, the committee did not believe it was a work of art); the other six were ruled to be by the artist's hand. Among the items up for sale are sketchbooks. prints, and collages, as well as less conventional works such as a door and a several sweatshirts painted by Basquiat.
Reportedly, the Christie's catalogue states that the works are copyrighted by Basquiat's estate, and the suit contends that such language could mislead collectors. Court papers filed by the siblings argue that "if the items in the catalog are not authenticated, they are virtually worthless." The sisters claim that in February the estate denied Christie's permission to reproduce work by Basquiat in its auction catalogue.

Background: Elderly patients presenting with cognitive and depressive symptoms often create a diagnostic challenge between depression and the dementing process. Various screening and diagnostic instruments have been developed for differentiating the two, one of which is Addenbrooke's cognitive examination (ACE). However, results have not been consistent across various studies, and not much data is available in the Indian context.
Aims and Objectives: To study cognition in elderly patients presenting with both cognitive and depressive symptoms at the baseline and at 3 months follow-up after starting antidepressants, and to compare the two profiles.
Materials and Methods: It was a follow-up study with 70 participants who had presented with both depressive and cognitive symptoms. Tablet escitalopram was given and ACE was performed at the baseline and at 3 months after starting antidepressants. Improvement on ACE was present in 37 participants and absent in 33 participants. The cognitive profile of these two groups was subjected to statistical analysis. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to study the difference between the full and domain ACE scores between the preintervention phase and postintervention phase within each group.
Results: There is a significant difference between preintervention and postintervention full ACE scores and different domain scores in the depression group unlike in the MCI group.
Conclusion: Diagnostic tools such as ACE can be utilized for differentiating mood disorder with an actual dementing process. It also reveals the need for periodic assessments of such patients.
Keywords: Cognition, depression, mild cognitive impairment (MCI)

A national crisis in geriatric mental health care is imminent because of the anticipated growth of the geriatric population. A variety of old age-specific disorders and issues are coming into notice lately. [1]
Patients presenting with combinations of cognitive, affective, and behavioral problems pose a clinical conundrum; it is difficult to establish whether the cognitive impairment is secondary to an affective disorder or whether it is a more sinister, organic dementing process. Depressive symptoms are common in the elderly population without dementia. [2],[3] Around two-third of depressed individuals present with significant cognitive underfunctioning, formerly known as depressive pseudodementia, "memory disorder in the context of depressive illness," or "the dementia syndrome of depression." Impaired ability to think, concentrate, or make decisions is a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criterion for major depressive episode. In clinical practice, this group remains difficult to identify. One of the major confounding factors is that many patients with organic dementia also have affective symptoms. [4],[5]
The differential diagnosis is especially difficult because these diseases greatly overlap in cognitive impairments. Mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized in the early stages by deficits in episodic memory, [6] with no apparent insufficiencies in tasks requiring learning and retention of either verbal or nonverbal information. [7],[8] However, patients with severe depression also tend to perform poorly in both verbal and nonverbal memory tests. [9],[10] To complicate matters even further, verbal episodic memory tasks such as recall tasks often fail to discriminate accurately severe depression patients from patients having mild dementia. [11] One important aspect of the clinical assessment of cognitive impairment in depression should be identifying cognitive screening instruments that differentiate the cognitive deficits most characteristic of depression from those that are most likely to reflect dementia spectrum. [12]
As far as progression of cognitive symptoms is concerned, major late-life depression does not progress to dementia in most cases. Instead, it is a stable disturbance that improves to a certain extent when the depressive symptoms are ameliorated. [13],[14] However, older patients with major depression and a dementia syndrome that subsides after remission of depression are at a high risk of developing irreversible dementia. [15],[16],[17],[18]
One important aspect of the clinical assessment of cognitive impairment and depression in the elderly should be identifying cognitive screening instruments that differentiate the cognitive deficits most characteristic of depression from those that are most likely to reflect dementia. Unfortunately, there are few empirical data on screening measures that effectively discriminate between the cognitive presentations of AD and depression. [12] Several screening and diagnostic tests for dementia are available but their complexity and need for specialized test equipment put them beyond routine bedside use.
This concept has been understudied and Indian data in this context are not robust; therefore, this study aimed at examining the cognitive profile in patients having both cognitive and depressive symptoms at the time of presentation and after 3 months follow-up after intervention with the antidepressant, and comparing the two.
[TAG:2]MATERIALS AND METHODS [/TAG:2]
It was a follow-up study of 6 months duration conducted at the psychiatric outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital, after obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee. A total of 74 participants were included in the study, who were more than 50 years of age, had depressive symptoms [geriatric depression scale (GDS)>5] as well as cognitive symptoms. Those participants having symptoms secondary to any organic condition, unstable medical or surgical illness, or any other psychiatric disorder (including bipolar disorder) and those who were lost to follow-up were excluded from the study. The participants were assessed using ACE at the baseline (at first visit) and after a period of 3 months during which they received treatment for the depressive symptoms.
The first phase of assessment was performed when the patients were recruited in the psychogeriatric clinic. Each patient was seen by the psychiatrist for a clinical diagnostic assessment to rule out the common causes for reversible cognitive deficits after which the all the necessary investigations were performed, along with the cognitive assessment. All the patients were prescribed tablet escitalopram in optimum doses. The second phase of assessment was conducted after 3 months of pharmacological intervention wherein two groups emerged, based on their cognitive assessment profile, as:
1. Whose cognitive deficits improved with pharmacological intervention for depressive symptoms (were considered as having depression) and
2. Those whose cognitive deficits did not improve after intervention and treatment of depression [were suspected of having mild cognitive impairment (MCI)].
These two groups were subjected to statistical analysis to check for differences between the cognitive scores within each group in the preintervention phase and postintervention phase.
Thus, in this study a total of 74 participants were included. They were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis made. In the depression group, there were 41 subjects and there were 33 subjects in the MCI group. In the postintervention phase of assessment, 37 subjects were followed up and assessed in the depression group and 33 were assessed in the MCI group. The tool used for cognitive assessment was:
Addenbrooke's cognitive examination (ACE)
It is a brief, 15-20-min test battery originally designed to detect and classify different kinds of dementia, particularly AD and frontotemporal dementia without the use of specialized test equipment. [19] The ACE-Revised (ACE-R) takes between 12 min and 20 min to administer and score in a clinical setting. It contains five subtests, each one representing one cognitive domain: Attention/orientation, memory, fluency, language, and visuospatial. The maximum score is 100, composed by the addition of the all subtests.
The scale has been normed with significant validity and reliability for the Indian population by Mathuranath et al. [20] The normative data were gathered specifically from South India; however, the authors have reported that the normative data can be generalized and used for the rest of India.
The sample under study and the score distribution was not normal and it was a nonparametric sample. Descriptive statistics in the form of mean and standard deviation was used for the age and years of education in each group. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to study the difference between the mean age and years of education between the groups, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to study the difference between the full and domain ACE scores between the preintervention phase and postintervention phase within each group.
The demographic details of the participants are shown in [Table 1]. Mean age in the depression group was 71.43 years and in the MCI group, it was 69.70 years. The average year of education in the depression group was 7.92 years and in the MCI group, it was 7.89 years. [Table 1] also indicates no significant difference in the age (Z = 1.21, P = 0.229) and years of education (Z = 0.24, P = 0.812) between both the groups. This is a significant observation to note because the normative study of ACE in India found that education plays an important role in the response and scores of the patients tested. [20]
Table 1: Table 1 shows the mean age and education on the sample studied
Considering the individual cognitive domains (as assessed by the ACE) affected in patients with depression and MCI prior to pharmacological intervention, not much difference was evident in the two groups [as shown in [Figure 1] and [Figure 2].
Figure 1: Shows the distribution of cognitive defi cits (according to ACE) in patients with MCI prior to intervention
However, previous studies have shown a difference in the cognitive deficits between the two groups. Mild Alzheimer's or MCI presents mostly with problems in episodic memory, language, praxis, and gnostic processes, with preserved learning of verbal and nonverbal information. [6],[7],[8] On the other hand, in depression, the areas affected are those of speed processing, selective attention, response inhibition, and executive function. [21],[22],[23] Therefore, presentation of the cognitive symptoms in this study highlights the issue that both MCI and depression can present in a similar fashion, leading to further diagnostic dilemma.
The sample studied was nonparametric in nature; hence, Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to study the difference between the two phases (prepharmacological intervention and postpharmacological intervention) in each group. The full and domain ACE normative scores for the Indian population that were used were as per the years of education obtained; hence, the cutoff for each participant differed based on his/her years of education obtained. Thus, instead of the mean, the median was calculated.
[Table 2] shows the difference between the preintervention and postintervention full ACE scores in the depression group. The preintervention assessment median ACE full score was 59 and the postintervention phase ACE score was 74. The significant difference between the scores (F = 5.30, P = .000), suggests that there was an increase in scores in the postintervention phase, indicating that with improvement in the depressive mood, cognitive deficits were significantly reduced.
Table 2: Difference between the preintervention and postintervention full ACE scores in the depression group
[Table 3] shows the difference between the preintervention and postintervention full ACE scores in the MCI group. The preintervention assessment median ACE full score was 57 and the postintervention phase ACE score was 56. This shows that there was no significant increase in the postintervention phase (F = 1.66, P = 0.068), which signifies that those with MCI did not see a noteworthy improvement in their cognitive condition after an intervention for mood symptoms.
Table 3: Difference between the preintervention and postintervention full ACE scores in the MCI group
Observation of the preintervention and postintervention ACE domain scores in the depression group clearly indicated that there was significant difference between preintervention and postintervention scores in all domains of the ACE that were tested [Table 4], suggesting that as there was improvement in the depressive mood, the cognitive deficits observed in each domain significantly reduced.
Table 4: Difference between the preintervention and postintervention ACE domain scores in the depression group
Studying the preintervention and postintervention ACE domain scores in the MCI group indicates that there was no significant difference between the preintervention and postintervention scores in any of the domains of the ACE that were tested [Table 5].
Table 5: Difference between the preintervention and postintervention ACE domain scores in the MCI group
The above results indicate that ACE is a useful instrument that can be employed to distinguish between those having a primary mood disorder in old age versus those who have cognitive deficits that are more significant than the mood state. The improvement in the full scaled scores and the domain scores in the depression group indicates that in those who have a primary mood disorder, the alleviation of the mood symptoms brings about a significant improvement in their cognitive condition. In clinical practice where the differential diagnosis of depressive mood conditions versus MCI or dementia is difficult, this is a noteworthy finding.
Alexopoulos reports that some elderly patients develop significant cognitive deficits during the depressive episodes that subside after remission of the depressive symptoms. [24] Reischies and Lee have also shown that cognitive deficits related to MCI or other primary cognitive disorders that evolve during the episode of depression in the elderly persist after the depressive symptoms have remitted. [25],[26] We have seen similar results in our studies where there was a significant improvement in the cognitive variables after the intervention for depression.
In the depression group, the median scores indicate that the domains of attention, registration, recall, and verbal fluency have relatively more improvement than the other cognitive domains. Thus, largely the difference of improvement has been in the domains of attention, executive functions, and working memory. Previous studies have consistently shown that depressed individuals show deficits in making decisions, attention, executive function, and working memory. [14],[27],[28],[29],[30] Thus, with the improvement of the mood-related symptoms we have seen a significant rise in the scores in these domains further helping us to substantiate that the depressed group of elderly individuals were clearly distinguishable from those with primary MCI.
Conclusion and implication
It is evident that there was an improvement in cognition as observed in ACE scores after antidepressant intervention in the depression group but not in those having MCI. This highlights the need and importance for continuous periodic assessment in the elderly who present with a combination of behavioral, mood, and cognitive symptoms, which would allow us to see the symptoms that get filtered away with appropriate intervention, and then come to a specific conclusion about their primary condition. This will help us handle and resolve the difficulty that surrounds in making the fine distinction between primary depression that presents with significant cognitive impairment and primary MCI. However, a larger sample with longer follow-up and multiple assessments would yield better and generalizable results.

From time to time, there's a must-read article worth posting in its entirety or a majority of it in tact. This is one of those articles.
Those who underestimate Russia's Vladimir Putin do so at their peril.
In the West, many see Russian President Vladimir Putin more as a schoolyard bully than a ruthless tyrant. He's mischievous and unfriendly, but his behavior, we tell ourselves, is the result of insecurity. If we ignore him, he'll grow out of it. Many are amused by and even admire Putin's personality and behavior. He is the John Wayne of world politics: decisive, uncompromising and masculine. He is the antithesis of the soft, politically correct Western politician. He's traditional, conservative and pragmatic in a world growing ever more liberal, secular and dangerously idealistic.
But we must not be deceived by Vladimir Putin.
Robert Dannenberg, who is also a 24-year CIA veteran, believes that Russia is the top strategic threat from a US perspective.
"We are in an extraordinarily dangerous time right now because both Russia and NATO are starting to exercise substantial military activity in close proximity to each other in Eastern Europe and the Baltics," Dannenberg said in an interview included in a July 9 Goldman Sachs analyst note.
What was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century?
The catalog of contenders runs long—but the answer is clear to Vladimir Putin. Russia's strongman believes the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 20th century was the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
The significance of that telling revelation is hard to overstate. That statement, made in his state of the union address in April 2005, provides an invaluable glimpse into the mind of the man who runs Russia. It lies at the core of current international relations, and it gives much-needed clarity and simplicity to the sometimes confusing and contradictory movements of Russia—the nation Winston Churchill identified as a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Putin's statement furnishes a key to understanding Russia!
From the way things are shaping up, with a German-run Europe tilting towards Russia combined with Turkish involvement, it's not difficult to see how a 200 million man army can be fielded, as prophesied in Revelation 9:16. Turkey comes into the fray as it aspires to be part of the EU bloc and is willing to offer large portions of its military in return. It likely won't sit idly on its own and watch the EU form a new bloc with the SCO in some fashion.
This isn't necessarily a prediction, but a possibility. However, one thing is clear: America is in suicidal decline and Europe wants NATO out. Europe, as mentioned by German political figures, can only have peace when it has peace with Russia. Peace with Russia also means giving NATO the boot as it has always wanted, which then leads to the Soviet capture of Europe (as NATO does Europe today) when it's a combined force, which it in the larger scheme of things always also wanted.
The Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Dmitry Mezentsev, said at the opening of the 10th session of the SCO Forum in Khanty-Mansiysk, that the SCO is entering a new period of increased efficiency and quality of the entire multi-tiered system of interaction mechanisms.
"It is expected that, during its further development, the SCO will correspond to the SCO Charter on the openness of the organization, and therefore the actual extension of the basic structure is on the agenda," Mezentsev said.
Surely, if this escalates into another war, the propaganda masters behind the last Russian-Georgian war will effectively paint tiny Georgia as the aggressor. The previous, long-planned and pre-determined 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, that is. The next invasion would likely permanently take away the energy corridor from the Caspian Sea to Europe planned under the Bush/Cheney administration to bring independence. This is also why you see Europe frantically scrambling to find alternatives to Russian resources.
If you haven't figured it out yet, it was never about an aggressive rogue military in a nation barely larger than Israel. But that's what the masses believe and it goes to show how effective the propaganda is. You can read more about Georgia under its respective category HERE.
While Moscow continues to be hammered by low oil prices and western-led sanctions, it is doubling down on hard-edged political and financial retribution: Russia is preparing to absorb a province of neighboring Georgia, and delivering an ultimatum to Europe that it could lose much of the Russian gas on which it relies.
Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula and the deployment of up to 40,000 troops on Ukraine's border to support the actions of pro-Russian separatist forces have been widely identified as a turning point in the "post-Cold War" European security system. But Russia's militarized policy toward Ukraine should not be seen as a spontaneous response to the crisis. It has only been possible thanks to a long-term program by Moscow to build up its military capabilities.

Name: Tregoning, Harriet
Current Position: Previous Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary
Harriet Tregoning was named principal deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), an agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), on April 13, 2015.
Tregoning was born in 1960 in Chicago, Illinois, to Arthur and Sumako Hiken. Her father, who was a U.S. sailor serving in occupied Japan when he met her mother, died when Tregoning was only two years old. Her mother moved young Harriet, along with younger brother Alan, to St. Louis, Missouri. Living three blocks from a public library—where Harriet "all but lived"—turned her into a voracious reader. Proficient in math as well, she began taking classes at Washington University while still a senior in high school. In 1981, she earned her undergraduate degree in engineering and public policy, and soon was taking classes in law school, which is where she met banker Michael Tregoning, whom she married within a year.
Harriet's first job out of school was with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where her initial work was on Superfund Policy. Following her husband from California to Texas or wherever his work took him, Tregoning hopscotched from one EPA branch office to another, continuing her Superfund work on the move. After the couple separated in the early 1990s, she settled in Washington, D.C., to head the EPA's waste-policy division. She stayed at the agency for 17 years, working her way up to the directorship of its Development, Community and Environment division.
In 1994, Tregoning's participation in President Bill Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development (CSD) inspired her to help assemble the Smart Growth Network, a collection of groups developing a movement devoted to community assistance and improvement. Tregoning went on to chair the CSD and helped found the advocacy organization, Smart Growth America, in 2000.
Tregoning's departure from EPA soon led to her arrival at the doorstep of Maryland state government, where she worked with Governor Parris Glendening as his secretary of planning, and as director of the Governors' Institute on Community Design. After Glendening left office, she joined him in co-founding the Smart Growth Leadership Institute, for which she served as executive director.
In 2007, Tergoning headed to Washington, D.C., where she worked for seven years as director of the District of Columbia Office of Planning. In that post, she devoted herself to revitalizing the city, which included a passionate focus on making it more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. Not all residents cared for her efforts, with many finding her goals threatening to the status quo. "The thing people sometimes forget about Harriet is, she's viewed as a hero in the smart-growth movement, but a lot of D.C. residents really didn't like her," The Washington Post's then-land-use reporter told The Atlantic in 2015. Tergoning's role in the rewriting of the city's zoning code—for the first time in 50 years—was allegedly viewed by some as arrogant and high-handed. The Washingtonian described her as "a street fighter who often finds herself between warring forces."
In February 2014, Tergoning left her D.C. planning job to join the Obama Administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development, where she took charge of its Office of Economic Resilience (OER). Her appointment as director of the agency came in conjunction with launch of OER as a rebranding of HUD's Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities. At OER, Tergoning helped launch the National Disaster Resilience Competition, a $1-billion program that invited applicants to propose recovery projects in order to qualify for disaster-relief funds.
As chief of CPD, Tergoning manages an annual budget of roughly $6 billion and oversees more than 40 field offices across the nation. She has said that her main focus in the job is to tackle homelessness in the U.S.
Tergoning adapts her vision for the nation's cities to her own life, frequently traveling on her foldable bike, all the while awaiting the day when someone finally invents a folding bike helmet.
She is married to Geoffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Smart Growth America. The couple produces Bee-Land Honey, generated from the bees they keep at Anderson's childhood home in D.C.'s Brookland.

Abbey Road Studios series expands with addition of historic RS124 tube compressor
Shell Rock, IA – October 2015 … Chandler Limited, recognized globally for signal processing and related music and audio products that deliver the classic analog sounds recording and professional musicians seek, expands its acclaimed historic Abbey Road Studios series with addition of the RS124 Compressor.
First designed in 1960 by Abbey Road Head of Technical Bill Livy, Deputy Head Len Page and seasoned EMI Audio Designer Mike Bachelor, the EMI/Abbey Road RS124 compressor is one of the most coveted pieces of recording gear ever developed.
During the late 1950's, EMI acquired Altec tube compressors for use at their studios and soon realized the units were insufficient for critical recording applications. Livey, Page and Batchelor worked to modify the Altec units to meet their standards and ultimately ended up designing an entirely new compressor in the process, the EMI/Abbey Road RS124.
From the beginning it was clear to Abbey Road Studios' engineers that the RS124 was special, not only in the way it flattered the sound, but also how it handled source material. The sonic enhancements provided by the RS124 added heaps of unique character to single instruments, rhythm busses and entire mixes. They where so integral to the recording and mixing process that a pair can be seen in almost every control room photo in Abbey Road during the 60s period.
Still in use today at Abbey Road Studios, and most recognized for its use at virtually every Beatles recording session, the RS124's true inner-workings have remained an enigma to recording engineers.
Through the years, from incomplete information and supposition, some have tried to recreate the RS124 compressor, though never fully realizing the elusive signal processor.
Schematics themselves only told part of the story, and access to Abbey Road Studios' historic units and various hand written modification notes would prove paramount towards understanding the true nature of the Abbey Road RS124 compressor, and variances between units.
The RS124 and its multiple personalities was never commercially available outside of Abbey Road Studios, until now.
Today more than five decades later, Chandler Limited, the only company in the world licensed to develop and manufacture Abbey Road Studios 'official equipment', coupled with its unique relationship and special access to the famed studios' historic hardware, unveils the modern RS124, the Chandler Limited RS124 Compressor.
Chandler Limited's re-imagination of the RS124 is significant not only for its heritage and modern features, it also captures the unique personalities of Abbey Road Studios' historic units in one piece of hardware for the first time ever.
Chandler Limited founder and chief designer, Wade Goeke, offered insight into the development of the RS124, "Once under way, we quickly found each of the favorite historic RS124s at Abbey Road Studios had their own character and nuances… At that point we felt we had to include all of them under one hood; you're not simply getting one RS124, you're getting them all."
The Chandler Limited RS124 not only harnesses multiple historic RS124s in one chassis (accessible via selectable serial number from the faceplate), it adds modern facilities not available on the original devices, including adjustable attack, switchable 200/600ohm impedance, and a special twist. Wade Goeke – "there's a really exciting feature that we put into the compressor… The fuse on the front panel isn't a fuse at all; it's a switch!" Excitedly, Wade added- "when activated, it sets the compressor into another personality all together, like Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde…"
Passionate about this historic release, Abbey Road Studios' Head of Audio Products, Mirek Stiles, added- " I first heard an RS124 in 1999 when a producer I was working with managed to persuade legendary Abbey Road technician Lester Smith to pull a unit out from one of his 'private' cupboards. It needed some attention, having not been used for over 20 years, but Lester had it in perfect working order in no time. We immediately patched it over a bass guitar and that was the sound, it was unlike any other compressor I had heard before. Now in 2015 that sound is available again for tracking and mixing by engineers, musicians and producers all over the world. Finding the original historic Abbey Road hand written notes and technical documents in the archives was key to unlocking the first true modern RS124 hardware device. I compared the new Chandler model against our original units directly and Wade has nailed the original character. Even the prototypes from Wade were immediately snapped up by the Abbey Road engineers and used over mix busses, it's the real deal"

Duke Farms purchased and installed three Clivus M54 Trailhead units within the last year in order to provide public restroom facilities. The mission of the farm is to teach visitors to "be good stewards of the environment" and the Clivus composting toilet systems were purchased because they fit with the organization's mission and because the restrooms provide remote facilities.

Two New Batman v Superman Teasers Offer More New Footage, Dialogue
"I have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns." This, perhaps, is the best bit of dialogue we've heard thus far, and it's delivered, of course, by Batman in this new TV clip.
With just two days to go, we're winding down our pre-release coverage of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Well, we would be, yet every day Warner Bros. releases just a little bit of new footage and dialogue via featurettes and teasers, and today's no different. The first is the TV spot, which not only includes that great line, but a bit of new footage as well—including one of Superman in a moment of what appears to be pain, and terror. The second is the Superman featurette we've shared previously, only re-released by Warner Bros. U.K. with a few new images.
In just two days, you'll be able to go watch the film in its' entirety. Until then, enjoy this new spot and featurette.

voltage is the energy transferred per unit of charge passed - but what IS charge passed? In terms of electrons going around a circuit, what IS the charge? And how does that relate to voltage? And then current?
Also, for example, when a current is flowing through a circuit, is it the current, voltage or charge that makes the bulb light? And if there is resistance, does it stop the current, voltage or charge?
Capacitor mantains constant voltage ?!
Can anyone explain how voltage works?
All 3, the current or charge (pretty similar) need to have a voltage (energy) in order to light up the bulb.
And think of current/charge being drawn to the resistances in a circuit whereby voltage (energy) is dissipated by the current/charge that are carrying energy.
You may think now that why doesn't voltage from the battery decrease? Voltage is the energy per coulomb of charge not straight forwardly the energy in the circuit.
So is the charge the 'packets' of electrons moving around, the current the rate of flow of these packets, and the voltage the energy these packets have to give to components? And does higher resistance mean the same voltage but less current?
Higher the resistance, the current will reduce because there is less charge, due to electrons finding it hard to move around. The voltage provides acceleration for the electrons (if you get what i mean).


Today family and friends of Nicholas Karachentsov will gather for a memorial dinner where we will raise a glass in memory of the artist who did not spare himself, and dreamed of becoming the best artist in the world.
We will remind that in February 2005, Karachentsov has got to road accident, after which went into a coma. To life the artist returned to the care of his loved ones. Wife actress Lyudmila Porgina literally dragged her husband from the dead and remained with him for thirteen years. In the accident he received a traumatic brain injury, was operated on, but suffered from the effects of this tragedy.
However, the reason for his departure from life was different. In 2017 Nicholas Karachentseva was diagnosed with cancer of the lung. He underwent an expensive treatment in Israel. Friends gathered three million rubles to pay for medical services in a prestigious Israeli hospital. But on 26 October 2018 actor died. He was buried at Troekurov cemetery in Moscow. The widow picked this graveyard because "there's plenty of room, spacious and near are friends of Colina: Natalya Gundareva, Lyubov Polishchuk Vladislav Galkin". And the Director "Lenkoma" mark Varshaver has informed that the theatre will establish a monument to the famous artist's expense.
Remembering friend and colleague in the theatre, the actress Inna Churikova said that Karachentsov "was a terrible addict".
"I remember in the theater, only to make smoke. And even after a terrible accident not stopped. Wife Luda gradually weaned", — quotes the magazine, "Secrets of the stars". Exactly Smoking causes lung cancer, which eventually died an artist.

Imagine, thirty years after the end of World War II, Israeli Nazi-hunters, some of whom lost relatives in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany, find a silent old man deep in the Amazon jungle. He is Adolph Hitler. The narrative that follows is a profound and disturbing exploration of the nature of guilt, vengeance, language, and the power of evil—each undiminished over time. George Steiner's stunning novel, now with a new afterword, will continue to provoke our thinking about Nazi Germany's unforgettable past.
"Two readings have convinced me that this is a fiction of extraordinary power and thoughtfulness. . . . [A] remarkable novel."—Bernard Bergonzi, Times Literary Supplement
"In this tour de force Mr. Steiner makes his reader re-examine, to whatever conclusions each may choose, a history from which we would prefer to avert our eyes."—Edmund Fuller, Wall Street Journal
"Portage largely avoids both the satisfactions of the traditional novel and the horrifying details of Holocaust literature. Instead, Steiner has taken as his model the political imaginings of an Orwell or Koestler. . . . He has produced a philosophic fantasy of remarkable intensity."—Otto Friedrich, Time
