Backlash Against Marquee Network Story of 2020 Cubs Convention
January 18, 2020 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment
During his session today at 2020 Cubs Convention, club President of Business Operations Crane Kenney said he feared no boos; not for Marquee Network, nor anything else. Kenney told the assembled crowd he's been booed before, for several things, including the jumbotron and the team mascot Clark.
The latter reference is poignant as the pants-less but friendly and inviting cartoonish bear was pretty much the headline story of Cubs Convention 2014. Why? Because he was a new addition to the club in a winter when the team made no real new additions to the player roster. The team was coming off a bad season (66-96) and moving towards the next one in which they were projected to be bad (they were, 73-89) again.

Theo Epstein Says He Wants to Improve the Cubs Roster, but 'Obstacles' in Way
Chicago Cubs Owner Tom Ricketts may not be aware of how disgruntled the fan base currently is, but President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein sure is. He understands how malcontent (and deservedly so) Cubs supporters are right now and he's hoping to get something done between now and opening day that will make the fans feel better about what kind of team they'll have in 2020.
Epstein, along with his long time business partner, Cubs Vice President and General Manager Jed Hoyer appeared at the first panel on the second day of Cubs Convention. During the session, two fans basically asked the same question, but in different wording, and it's one of only two Q&As that actually matter right now. Why hasn't the team done anything at all to improve the roster this offseason?

Jurgen Klopp Finds Manchester United's Counter-Attacking Style Strange
Both sides have no issues with motivation and inspiration when Manchester United and Liverpool get together. The most heated of rivalries, emotions always run high, and tomorrow it could be even more ramped up, given what happened in the last meeting.
United were the first, and so far only, team to take any point from a Premier League meeting with Liverpool this season. The Reds will no doubt be looking to get one back on the Red Devils for ruining their unblemished season. And if United needs some more added motivation, LFC manager Jurgen Klopp just gave them some bulletin board material. While saying that he's not throwing shade, he essentially threw shade at his rivals' playing style.

Tom Ricketts Doesn't See How Disconnected He Really is from Cubs Fanbase
January 17, 2020 By paulmbanks 2 Comments
Chicago Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts, along with his sister Laura, were the first guests to come on stage for Ryan Dempster's session at the 35th annual Cubs Convention Friday night, an endeavor that appears in the form of a late night talk show.
Ricketts' intro and exit music was, wait for it, "Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People." You know this classic 1970s soul tune by its very familiar refrain: "Iiiiiiiiiiiiii am every-day people!" Yes, billionaires! So like us! We can relate to having a family business……..which Charles Schwab buys for $26 billion!
Manchester City Starting XI Prediction, Team News vs Crystal Palace
You know what Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants for his birthday tomorrow? A victory over Crystal Palace, which would put his side a minimum of 15 points clear of fifth place. Not that anyone doubts the chances of City finishing in the top four, but with the league title possibility have waived goodbye a long time ago, you got to focus on locking down all the other priorities of the campaign.
City brings a now pretty fit squad to the table for this one. Aymeric Laporte is progressing, and while this match is too soon for him to feature, it won't be long until he's back in action.

Arsenal FC Starting XI Team News vs Sheffield United: Aubameyang, Torreira
The Mikel Arteta rebuild at Arsenal is starting to show signs of progress, subtle and slowly, but it's getting there. Up next is a home clash against Sheffield United that poses a major challenge, especially up top. The Gunners will be without one of the their primary weapons, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is suspended for the next three matches.
They will also be without their quarter of long term injury absentees: Sead Kolasinac, Hector Bellerin, Kieran Tierney and Callum Chambers. Additionally, midfielder Lucas Torreira is a doubt, as he might not be match fit in time. Tenth place Arsenal is a team with some holes, and sixth place Sheffield is a side that can expose those weaknesses.

Harry Maguire Named New Man United Capt. as Ashley Young Exits
Manchester United have confirmed the departure of Ashley Young, and named the player who will take up his post as team Captain. With Young finalizing a move (reported to be just £1.5 million) to Inter Milan today, it is another defender, Harry Maguire, who will be wearing the captain's arm band for the rest of the season.
"Harry has come in and been wearing the captain's armband and he will keep wearing it," said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær at his weekly Friday news conference. "He has been a leader in the group and I have been not surprised but impressed with his leadership skills." [Read more…]

Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction vs Manchester United
In Manchester United, Liverpool FC will be looking, on Sunday, to avenge the only team that took points from a meeting with them this season. Not that they would actually need any more motivation for a match against their bitterest of rivals, but hey, it's the main story line in this the headliner fixture of the Premier League weekend.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will have three more key players, who had been long term injury absentees, now back in the rotation for this match, but we didn't pick any of them in our first team prediction. The Reds have enough depth that they can ease them back into action at any rate they choose to.

Manchester United Starting XI Prediction at Liverpool FC
January 16, 2020 By paulmbanks 1 Comment
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he made a rash decision on Wednesday night and it backfired. The Manchester United manager played the team's leading scorer, Marcus Rashford, in the FA Cup replay against Wolves, a match where perhaps the Mancunian might have been best served with a night off.
He got hurt and unless he's absolutely positively 100% full fitness, then he should likely sit out United's trip to Liverpool on Sunday. So what does OGS do now- Mason Greenwood?
Man United at Liverpool Team News: Rashford, Fabinho, Gomez, Lovren
Liverpool have already broken several records this campaign, not just club or league, but European records. They certainly look unstoppable right now, but United did battle them to a draw in October, and now the very highly anticipated reverse fixture awaits.
In that match, the only blemish on the Reds' resume so far this Premier League season, it was Marcus Rashford who scored the only United goal. He may not be fit to play this time around. Rash left the Red Devils FA Cup replay win over Wolverhampton on Wednesday night, after just 16 minutes due to a back injury.
Manchester United Transfer Talk: Bruno Fernandes, Boubakary Soumare
It is Manchester United vs Liverpool week, but now is the time for some transfer talk, as it appears Old Trafford is closing in on their first signing of the January transfer window.
Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes was potentially set to move to United in the summer, but for whatever reason, MUFC just didn't make it happen. Here we are in the winter window, it now seems the Fernandes move will actually come to fruition.
According to ESPN, United are closing in on a deal, reporting that the club and player have agreed to personal terms.

Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction at Newcastle United
In looking at what first team Chelsea manager Frank Lampard might select on Saturday when his side travels to Newcastle United, one must start by looking at the fitness of N'Golo Kante. The French midfielder had to sit out against Burnley last weekend due to a hamstring injury.
Arguably the side's best and most important player, especially after the departure of Eden Hazard, he's unfortunately had an injury-riddled 2019-20 campaign. He was expected to start last weekend, but was left out entirely after suffering a hamstring problem in training last Friday.

Soul of a Nation: Art in the age of black power
Beyond the theoretical articulations the artworks embody, the exhibition is a reminder of the tangibility and materiality of an identity. While the answer to 'Is there a Negro image' remains unclear, the potency of the idea is apparent.
1 Comment on Soul of a Nation: Art in the age of black power
BY ULYSSE DEMONIO AND ELISE LAURIOT PREVOST
Visually, 'Soul of the Nation' is a collection of 'vibrant paintings, powerful murals, collage, photography, revolutionary clothing designs and sculptures made with Black hair, melted records, and tights'. Created in the two decades following 1963, the epitome of the Civil Rights movement, it represents a caesura in the history of the United States and of its black population. This art is the embodiment of dreams of integration, of autonomy and solidarity; sometimes conflicting claims.
The expression of a condition – Communal Resistance
The exhibition finds its grounding in the speeches of notable figures from the era, contemporary art movements and the newly founded independence of many African nations. The exhibition makes clear that persistent oppression has formed a black community which finds its voice of resistance in these works. The Spiral Group (1963, New York), a pioneering collective, self-described as 'a group of Negro artists who met to discuss their position in American society […] at a time of crucial metamorphosis just before the now historic March on Washington.' The question, 'Is there a Negro image?', which guided their work, is the central point of this exhibition and is to be retained as the driving question of our piece.
Norman Lewis, painted in black and white to reflect on race relations in America. Calling it 'America the beautiful' (1960), suggests the differences between America's vision of itself and its realities.
Romare Bearden, produced multiple collages, portraying the Black migration from the rural South to the North. The fragmentation natural to the collage gives us a visual sense of the dynamic and moving identities of the Black community. ('Pittsburgh', 1964)
Artists worked in local communities and the general condition of resistance to oppression found a local voice. Each community had a distinctive style.
The Street Art of OBAC (The Organization of Black American Culture), is an excellent example of a local community initiative. The Wall of Respect (1967) in Chicago's South Side was a gathering place for many cultural activities, and inspired other African American neighborhoods to create their own.
Wall of Respect, Chicago (1967)
The mural portrayed heroic figures of a Black imaginary ranging from Miles Davis to Muhammed Ali. The portrayal of Amiri Baraka gives us a hint of the purpose of the project. As the founder of the Black arts movement, he declared that black writers, musicians and visual artists should make art that 'speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of black America […] the purpose of our writing is to create the nation'.
Africobra (The African commune of bad relevant Artists, 1968), set out to portray the 'awesomeness' of the African American community. They used intense colour and shine to convey this message, producing prints of their work so they could be distributed as widely as possible.
Wadsworth Jarell's, 'Black Prince' (1971) used bits of his speech and repeated the letter B (Black, Bad and Beautiful) to create the face of Malcolm X.
Certain stylistic choices kept coming back. Many of the pieces were purposely 'raw' to show the roots of the black community.
Benny Andrews's piece, 'Did the Bear sit under the tree' (1969), uses burlap and zippers to represent the American flag and the 'silencing' of the black community. Here the subject is 'shaking his fist at the very thing that is supposed to be protecting him.'
Timothy Washington's, 'One Nation under God' (1970), etched images into metal to 'retain the intensity of his compositions'. He represents the broken promise of '40 acres and a mule', made by the Government during the civil war.
Much in the same vein, a true obsession with colour, or the lack of it, reflected the intensity and the extremes of the black experience.
William T. Williams, 'Trane' (1969)
This abstract piece which was met with criticism by other black artists for not showing the 'real lives of Black Americans' was defended by Frank Bowling who argued that abstract art could be used to 're-route fashion and art convention to 'signify' something different to Black viewers than white ones'.
The question of abstract art brings us back to our guiding question set by the Spiral collective 'Is there a Negro image?'. Although the works are all testimonies of a common condition, divergences emerge.
Along with the abstract and colour questions, Black Artists grappled with other fundamental issues. Who should be represented? Normal people or heroes?
Adgar Cowans, 'Shadows', New York (1961)
Jeff Donaldson, 'Study for the Wall of Respect (Miles Davis)', Chicago (1967)
Would the inclusion of white artists to the collectives be detrimental or beneficial to the black cause? Some collectives refused while others embraced the support.
These are excellent examples of the variety of discourses and identity conceptions in a time of identity reconstruction.
Political articulations
Cliff Joseph, 'Blackboard' (1969)
The political articulations are to be put in relation to Soul of a nation, the title of the exhibition: a deconstruction of what it means to be Black. These works are the expression of a condition but are also attempts to grasp a newly politically charged identity. Martin Luther King's historic March on Washington is the opening piece of the exhibition and the start of a historic moment in American Politics, in which Blacks actively strive for a re-founding of the segregated American Nation.
Reginald Gammon, 'Freedom Now', 1965
This political bang saw diverging political conceptions emerge in its wake.
The Black Panthers Party (1966), articulated the concept of black nationalism and black power, a radical political act of resistance.
Emory Douglas (1970)
The relation to newly independent African States became a latent question of Black Political identity.
Noah Purifoy, 'Untitled', 1970
Other essential questions to the nation are addressed.
Betye Saar's piece 'The Liberation of Aunt Jemima' (1972), superimposes radical imagery of Black nationalism and African Kente clothes with the supposed subservience of Black women. Using stereotypical and racist objects and branding she re-presents the image of black female subservience as a symbol of empowerment.
The underlying presence of Nation of Islam through the affiliation of artists to the movement and the imagery they produced was proof of the essential aspect it played in the articulation political identity.
Beyond the theoretical articulations the artworks embody, the exhibition is a reminder of the tangibility and materiality of an identity. While the answer to 'Is there a Negro image' remains unclear, the potency of the idea is apparent. The ideas expressed are still relevant today, resonating in the images of a black president, in the daily lives of black Americans, in the cries of 'Black Lives Matter' and in the actualised discourse of 'White America First'.
David Hammon's piece 'Black First, America Second' (1970), is a performative representation of the end of America as a nation and the replacement of it by a new Black identity, which remains intentionally unclear.

Deal of the year: Deutsche Bank
Energy Risk Asia Awards 2021
A commitment to transparency in hedging, risk management and green transactions saw Deutsche Bank win the Deal of the year in the Energy Risk Asia Awards for 2021. The bank conducted a ground-breaking trade, a true industry first: a green hedge backed by a second party opinion (SPO) based on a specially developed green hedge framework. Such a landmark transaction will enable the creation and development of a transparent risk management framework for all types of green financings.
Rahul Jain, Deutsche Bank
Such deals, says Rahul Jain, Deutsche Bank's managing director in investment banking in Singapore, are "greatly needed for the long-term success and sustainability of emerging markets issuers, investors and underlying green projects".
Jain, who serves as Deutsche's head of sustainability and special situations in Asia, part of the global emerging markets division, says a key part of the bank's success in winning this year's award is that it took steps that every banking and financial institution ideally should – "to ensure transparency around green transactions".
"We appreciate the challenges market participants face in emerging markets. If risks are not hedged properly, it can pose repayment challenges when bonds come due. So, we worked on appropriate hedging strategies along with an SPO provider to bring transparency around what the green bond issuer was doing on the hedging side," he says.
Hedging is critical for emerging markets participants, and it is in the best interests of investors, issuers and all stakeholders involved that a transparent process for hedging is considered, similar to what currently happens for green financing.
Jain says Deutsche Bank's hope is to set the stage for broader risk management and for providers to look at the opportunities to be gained in doing risk management in a transparent manner: "If I think back to 2008, when the World Bank issued the first green bond backed by an SPO, it was a market innovation at the time. Since then, trillions of dollars have been invested in such green bonds due to the transparency this process brings."
It is that transparency that is all the more crucial for emerging market issuers. To that end, all market participants need to recognise hedging for the important consideration it is, and that it comes alongside financing for emerging markets.
To Jain, it is "a total package that can determine the success of the projects and of the green financings backing these projects".
Indeed, a great way for emerging market issuers to give investors a degree of comfort would be for them to prove they have examined all aspects of their risk – such as liquidity, interest rate and foreign exchange risk. Yet that requires transparency.
Emerging markets, which are now at the forefront of the green revolution – being both the problem and the solution for any meaningful global climate transition – are regularly tapping the green bond market to support green projects in local emerging countries. However, such bond issuances are typically in US dollars or euros, which creates a significant FX risk exposure for both the issuers and investors.
A key concern is that market participants looking at areas of fast, exponential growth – which is currently the case for green investments – can often take on significant risks, to the extent that people forget about the downside. In doing so, they lose sight of the risks and only realise the possibility of a market crash when one occurs, as in 2008, and which could happen again in the future.
Serene Chen, Deutsche Bank
"That is why one must look at risk and liquidity management the same way, with an eye towards transparency. Transparency is also needed to avoid the most critical issue the environmental, social and governance (ESG) industry is facing – greenwashing," says Serene Chen, Deutsche's managing director and head of risk management solutions in Asia-Pacific (Apac).
Why Deutsche Bank is different
Deutsche Bank's track record in Asia over the past several years has been one of innovation. This has been highly visible in its green energy and ESG-linked transactions.
"A few years back, we had done large-scale risk management projects in Taiwan and won awards from both Energy Risk and Asia Risk. We also received the Financial innovation award from A Word About Wind in Europe earlier this year for those landmark hedging solutions," says Jain. "Last year, we did Asia's first ESG-linked hedge with a Singapore client, which also won awards from Asia Risk.
"This year, we are continuing that trend with a world first: the first-ever green hedging transaction backed by an SPO."
SPOs are common in green financings, wherein an external agency will look at use of proceeds for underlying projects and provide an opinion as to whether this can be considered green or not. Deutsche Bank has taken this approach for its green hedge as well, and engaged with an SPO provider to review the hedge.
"We innovate, not for the sake of doing something obscure, but innovation with the aim of making things more transparent and scalable," says Chen.
Deutsche Bank has focused deeply on ESG matters and how it can work with its clients in addressing ESG-related issues through innovative and impactful solutions. Recently, it set up an ESG Centre of Excellence in Singapore, showcasing the bank's commitment to becoming the premier client-focused ESG bank in Apac by helping drive ESG transition of clients through innovative solutions.
"ESG is a core part of Deutsche Bank's strategy, and we are well situated to deliver ESG-related solutions to clients, stakeholders and society at large, who demand such solutions," says Chen.
"The awards and recognition from various industry participants that Deutsche Bank has received over the past several years are testimony to our focus, leadership and innovation in the ESG space, and how Deutsche Bank is working with different clients to drive sustainability efforts in an impactful and prudent manner."
"To expand and grow the sustainable and green finance sector, innovative and new product offerings are needed. Limiting sustainable products to just financing instruments such as bonds and loans will not further advance ESG practices, and will not expand sustainable finance to its fullest potential in mitigating and promoting climate change and a sustainable future for all. Deutsche Bank is leading the industry by providing innovative risk management solutions, setting the standards for sustainability-linked and green derivatives, and encouraging ESG solutions for the broader economy," says Jain.
Challenges of the pandemic
The ravages of the 18 months have impacted the financial and corporate sectors, not to mention every person on earth. The challenges notwithstanding, there were also opportunities to be had from the crisis for those poised to capitalise on them.
For Deutsche Bank, the difficulties associated with the Covid-19 pandemic were a challenge. Yet, through it all, the bank navigated the situation well, Jain says – in terms of managing employees, supporting society and serving Deutsche Bank's clients.
The bank was named Crisis response bank of the year in the Asia Risk Awards 2020. "Clearly, how we handled Covid-19 through our use of technology and agility played an important role in that," Jain says. "We were quick to respond to the demands of our clients and supported them by transitioning them over to our award-winning emerging markets trading platform, despite most of our and our clients' employees working from home. Deutsche Bank won this year's Best emerging markets trading platform in the FX Markets Asia FX Awards."
Deutsche also actively supported clients across different segments by helping them navigate an unprecedented challenging market environment through the development of innovative bespoke solutions that demonstrated the full strength of its product offering and platform capabilities.
"Again, we helped clients during very adverse market conditions when there were few liquidity providers, especially for long-dated tenors and illiquid risk" says Chen. "We succeeded because we connected with them online and enabled business through our award-winning trading platform. That has enabled us to win the support and trust of our clients and increased our market share."


Happy Sunday Friends! I'm happy to report, it's time for some Sunday Social with Ashley and Neely.
My blog is Seriously Kate. When I first started blogging, the 'Seriously' seemed fitting since I was constantly saying the word in everyday conversation. But before actually committing to make it a part of my blog name, I researched the true definition. According to Merriam-Webster, seriously means "in a sincere manner" or "earnestly." I was sold after that, because that's exactly how I wanted to portray myself - as sincere and earnest.
Besides the fact that I enjoy the art of writing itself and connecting with people, I love the thrill. I sound crazy right now, don't I? But, it's true - I love hitting the Publish button and waiting to see what transpires. Will people actually read it? Will folks enjoy what I've written or identify with it so much as to leave a comment? Will anyone whose never been to my blog before feel a connection and want to follow from now on? Are those who are already following me looking forward to reading what I've written or considering un-following me? Is there any chance that by sharing my experiences and my faith, I've actually encouraged someone else? And, will someone confirm that I am not the only individual in the world that feels this way in regards to whatever it is I'm writing about? It's the thrill, I tell you - the anticipation and expectation that my thoughts and opinions might actually be read, contemplated upon, and agreed with or disagreed with.
I really enjoy writing. My mind approaches it like a challenge - finding the perfect way to take the thoughts and feelings that I am experiencing and translating them into words that others can read and relate to. It's sort of therapeutic. My heart approaches it as the opportunity to share with others my ups, my downs, and my in betweens - a chance to encourage by sharing my very own personal experiences. I love that aha moment when you realize, "Hey - I'm really not the only one!"
4. What is something you'd want to tell someone just starting out in the blog world?
It is something I have to continually remind myself, and that is to find balance. As a work out of the home wife and mother, I have to remember that it's okay if I'm not posting every day, that sometimes sleep is actually more important, and that my family enjoys home cooked meals and clean clothes. :) I essentially try to remember that I need to balance the use of my "me" time between all the things I enjoy and not just the one - because blogging is addicting!!
I can relate a lot to #2 and #4. Being a newbie in the blogging world, I also get a thrill every time I hit publish and I'm hoping this continues! I'm also learning very early on that finding a balance will be very important in these neck of the woods!
I really love your answer to #1! I too strive to be sincere as well:) So glad to have found your blog!
I was a no reply blogger for a while as well. I am glad someone was kind enough to show me the way. Some people are really kind and helpful.
Popped over to thank you for coming by my blog, and this was a fun first post to read about you! I feel like I got to know you a bit. Looking forward to getting to know you more in the future!
Blogging IS addicting, and your advice is sound!
I was a no-reply blogger too! Seriously, why do they make it so confusing! Thankfully someone showed me!
Thanks for mentioning me! You're too sweet!
P.S. I have not forgot about your Liebster Questions! I will be posting them soon!
I was a 'no reply' blogger too!!! UGH! I was SO frustrated when another blogger informed me but super thankful that it was finally addressed!

Gardening was a popular hobby
"Pops" Law in his garden
Jack Law
For residents who had moved from the overcrowded city, the benefit of having their own garden provided an absorbing hobby.
The St. Helier Horticultural Society was one of the first groups founded on the estate. One of its first leaders was Mr. J.G. Breach. Regular shows were held. In the summer of 1936, the local paper reported that entries for the annual summer show were up on the previous year. Flowers that received special mention were roses, sweet peas, carnations and gladioli, while in the vegetable section, the finest entries had been in the categories of potatoes, shallots and rhubarb. Mr. Breach won first prize for a vase of flowers arranged for special effect.*
*Wallington and Carshalton Times, 23rd July 1936
The LCC also ran a front garden competition for many years.

The allotments
During the war, allotments were opened on Robertsbridge Road to help with the wartime 'dig for victory' scheme. When these were closed to make room for the post-war prefabs, a new site opened at Rose Hill. This continued for some years but was eventually taken over as a council dump and this has now become a sportsground.

My parents were the first to occupy 1 Langdon Walk. I was born there in 1934 and my brother in 1933. Dad was very proud of his garden, which was admired by all who passed by.At the end of the war he became a member of the St Helier Horticultural Society was later appointed Secretary. I well remember the hut up at the rec where members could buy their seed etc. I still have a photograph of him judging at one of their flower shows. I have many happy memories of the days spent helping out in the hut.

**Note:** A newer version of this extension has been published as [`ms-iot.vscode-ros`](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-iot.vscode-ros). Please uninstall this extension and install the new one.

This [Visual Studio Code (VSCode)][vscode] extension provides support for [Robot Operating System (ROS)][ros]
development.

* [Repository][repo]
* [Issues][issues]

## Getting Started

The extension will automatically start when you open a catkin workspace.
The build system (e.g. catkin_make or catkin build) will automatically be confirmed from the hidden files associated with
each system.
The ROS distro will automatically be confirmed from the parent environment, or you will be prompted to select a ROS
distro if this can't be done automatically.

> You must build the catkin workspace at least once before the extension will recognise it.

To start ROS master, use the "ROS: Start Core" command. The "ROS master" indicator in the bottom left will show if the
master is currently running, and you can click on this to view parameters etc. If you hit F5 you can create a debug
configuration to run a `rosrun` or `roslaunch` command.

The first time you open the workspace the extension will automatically create build and test tasks and update the
C++ and Python paths. You can re-run this process later using the appropriate commands.

## Features

* Automatic ROS environment configuration.
* Allows starting, stopping and viewing the ROS master status.
* Automatically discover `catkin_make` or `catkin build` build tasks.
* Create catkin packages using `catkin_create_pkg` script or `catkin create pkg`.
* Run `rosrun` or `roslaunch` (breakpoints currently not supported).
* Syntax highlighting for `.msg`, `.urdf` and other ROS files.
* Automatically add the ROS C++ include and Python import paths.
* Format C++ using the ROS `clang-format` style.

Companies understand that there is the need to have a streamlined and efficient performance management system. There are invaluable benefits that a company is set to enjoy when they spend in employee review software. The fact that your staff is central to the company achieving the set goals and purposes means that it is essential to track their performance. When a company invests in the best performance management software, it will be the perfect way to raise the morale of your employees. The fact that individuals who deserve promotion will be perfectly matched, individuals in need of training will be quickly identified are just some of the ways that the use of employee review software will prove beneficial in enhancing the performance of a business. With numerous companies choosing to invest in employee performance management software, let us determine some of the benefits that a firm will reap if they decide to invest in such a system.
The number one reason why the use of the performance management system is beneficial to a company is the fact that it works to keep the various individuals connected. When a company opts not to invest in an employee review software, it will mean that they will utilize paperwork or Microsoft Excel or Word to keep the essential information about the appraisals. If you choose such techniques to monitor the performance of every worker in your company, you will find them not only tedious but also inefficient considering that they do not create the company-wide visibility.
If the company selects to utilize the performance management software, it will be a chance keep information on employee review secure. The performance management software will give your HR, in line managers and also the junior staff the chance to access data about the progress, objectives and the development plans using the various devices, and this is mainly possible because the information will be cloud-based. Any relevant changes to such documents will be easily accessed anywhere instantly, and this will mean that you have a visible, more accurate and faster employee review strategy.
The use of software to monitor the performance of the workers at a given company will also promote continuous performance. You will have the chance to set monthly performance check-ins for the workers, and this means that the objectives can be set flexible and can also be easily reviewed after a given interval. When a company uses the performance appraisal software, it will be a chance to keep the employees engaged and motivated.

There appears to be a "disconnect" between what financial markets think the Federal Open Market Committee will do and what policymakers indicated after a meeting Wednesday, says FXTM research analyst Lukman Otunuga. "Financial markets were caught completely off guard during late trading on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve adopted a firmly hawkish stance and even displayed some optimism over economic growth despite mounting concerns over weak inflation," the analyst says. "The tone of caution investors were anticipating from the Fed was replaced by a strong determination to continue tightening in response to falling employment while accepting the prolonged periods of weak inflation this year." However, although the hawkish Fed tone offered a temporary boost to the U.S. dollar, markets "have not bought into this newfound optimism" as expectations of another interest-rate increase in 2017 stands below 50%, Otunuga says. The analyst points out that FOMC members trimmed their medium estimate for inflation to 1.6% this year, so the central bank "may be in no rush to hike rates again in the coming months." Otunuga also cites the soft U.S. retail sales and inflation data reported earlier Wednesday. "All in all, there seems to be a disconnect between what the markets anticipate and what the Fed is signaling, with investors needing more persuasion on the Federal Reserve's ability to raise rates again," Otunuga says.

Schrödinger's Season
The Redskins, despite themselves (and a 3-6 record), seem to be alive. But are they? Can we even tell anymore? Tom tries to make sense of a frustrating, vexing year.

Share All sharing options for: Schrödinger's Season
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sport
Can someone please let me know if the Redskins' season has a pulse? Maybe we can hold a mirror under its nose or something. But I have to know how to proceed as a Redskins fan.
Fish or cut bait.
Poop or get off the pot.
Pick a lane.
Nine games and ten weeks into an NFL season, you would think we'd be able to figure out whether this team is dead or alive. Yet, we can't. Normally, I would say a 3-6 squad that really hasn't played well overall should be thinking about the draft. Then, at certain points, Washington shows flashes of its 2012 form. And, by "2012 form," I mean the form the team had during a seven-game stretch run after that group started 3-6.
On the other hand, Washington just suffered a horrific loss to Minnesota. Minnesota! It's one thing to implode in the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos, perhaps the best team in the NFL. It's another to give up 20 straight points to end a game you led 27-14 against a 1-7 team.
The Redskins managed to lose to the Vikings despite a decent yardage advantage, zero turnovers, a 95 percent win probability at one point, and two "bonus" timeouts on the final, potentially-game-tying drive, courtesy of Leslie Frazier. As a result, the Skins have absolutely no momentum coming into this week's game against Philadelphia.
On the other hand, the dreadful NFC East exists in a state of Verschränkung mediocrity. Washington, even being in last place, is just two games back of those same Eagles, who have a share of first. The two teams would be deadlocked in the loss column if the Redskins could win the rematch against Philadelphia. Washington is also coming off of a "mini-bye" week thanks to playing a Thursday night game. Meanwhile, the other first-place team, the Dallas Cowboys, looks like it has perhaps the worst defense in the NFL. A win here would catapult Washington right back into the thick of things in the NFC East.
On the other hand, haven't we been here four or five times already this year? That's kind of the point. The season opener against the Eagles was a chance for the defending divisional champs to set the tone early against an untested head coach. Washington lost. The game against Dallas on Sunday Night Football had "turning point" potential with first place at stake. Washington lost. The game against 1-7 Minnesota was a shot to take a big step forward, winning twice in five days. Washington lost.
On the other hand, the Redskins are running out of weeks. There's more of a sense of urgency now. All it would take would be wins over Philly and the rest of the NFC East, plus an upset somewhere along the way, and Washington would probably still win the division. Somehow. It starts this week with the Eagles, a so-so team that isn't exactly on the level of the Chiefs, 49ers, or Broncos.
On the other hand, Nick Foles is suddenly a very effective quarterback, as indicated by his ten touchdowns over the past two games. Chip Kelly's offense sputtered for a time, but seems to have rebounded. The Eagles are able to put up great numbers against bad teams, and decent numbers against decent teams. Philadelphia boasts an offense that has crept back up to #11 in the NFL in scoring.
On the other hand, Washington's defense hasn't been terrible. Just inopportune. The Redskins held Adrian Peterson under 100 yards (although he did score twice), and kept the Vikings to 307 yards of total net offense, the third-best showing of the season for the Skins. They haven't fared well against good quarterbacks (except Tony Romo), but the sample size on Foles is still small. Maybe he'll come back to earth this week. Or perhaps Washington has a lock-down performance in its collective back pocket.
My supply of "other hands" long since exhausted, hell if I know what to expect from these guys anymore. Either I'll be writing a "THE REDSKINS ARE BACK IN IT!!!" column for next week, or a "FIRE EVERYBODY, SEE YOU IN 2014" eulogy. Basically the same position the Redskins have been in for weeks. Their circumstances (read: being in a bad division) have kept Washington's season from crossing over to the other side for longer than is natural. Without a win against the Eagles on Sunday, we can probably start digging that grave.
On the other hand . . .
