MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist
Genre: Action, Adventure, Romance, Video Games
Author: MiuNovels
About: For the sake of his family, Ren embarked on the popular VRMMORPG, COVENANT, that used real-time in-game currency. But being a mediocre player who only knows how to gather information, he was put in a supporting role.
As the game explodes in popularity and every multibillion-dollar company invested in the game, things have turned for the worse for Ren. Due to the amount of information he gathered, the cheats, secrets, quests, and bugs he discovered, he was silent in fear of selling the information to the other guilds.
But given a second chance, he went back in time when his father was still alive and COVENANT was just in its starting phase.
This time . . . he wouldn't be that guy on the side who gathered information from day in and day out for ten years.
Equipped with the games knowledge he accumulated, he will become . . . an Alchemist!
Chrono Mage? Djin Master? Summoner? Necromancer?
Chaos Lord?
What good are those?
Sure they're powerful and rare classes and sought after by guilds, but it's the alchemist who forged artifacts and concocts rare items and potions that gets the most coins at the end of the day!
It was better than being a blacksmith or a crafter! Plus, he could use all sorts of magic without limit to race and class!
It was the ultimate class! And no one even knows it!

Season 1, Episode 02:
Boomer awakens suddenly and looks around, confused. She is sitting in an equipment room in Galactica's flight deck, and she is soaking wet. As she tries to collect her bearings and figure out what happened, she opens a nearby bag and discovers a cache of explosives and detonators.
As she puts on a clean change of clothes and dries off, she opens a nearby locker and discovers that several more detonators are missing. She freaks out and goes to find Tyrol.
Elsewhere, the crew of Galactica are preparing a formal ceremony to welcome President Roslin. As she arrives on the ship, she thanks Bill Adama and the rest of the crew for their assistance during the Cylon attacks in the previous episode. Roslin goes to Lee after and asks him if Bill is doing this because he enjoys the formal nature of it, but he responds that his father is doing it out of respect for her newly-inaugurated position.
As the Virgon Express, a civilian ship, docks alongside Galactica, Bill and Roslin meet and discuss the fleet's activities. Bill explains the Galactica's water-recycling abilities to her, and how it transfers water to ships that don't have their own onboard supply.
Back on Caprica, Helo and Sharon head towards her Raptor in an attempt to escape the planet, only to discover that it's crawling with Centurions when they arrive. With no clear goal in sight, both of them decide to try and locate another ship.
Onboard Galactica, Boomer finds Tyrol and hurriedly explains that several explosives are missing. Tyrol tries to calm her down, and believes that someone is trying to frame her. Suddenly, a series of explosions rips through Galactica's water tanks during its refueling procedure. Several tonnes of water vents into space before the crew contains the damage.
Later, the crew investigates and realizes that 60% of Galactica's reserves have been lost as a result. Gaeta tries to figure out the cause of the explosions, reason that the detonation of a nuclear warhead on the ship during the fight at Ragnar Anchorage caused the water tanks to weaken and burst. However, Tyrol states that it was likely sabotage. He covers for Boomer by saying that it is unlikely they will find the culprit, due to the weak security throughout the ship.
Bill orders several Raptors to scout nearby systems and try and source a planet that has enough water for the fleet to restock. He later tells the senior command staff, Roslin and Baltar that he believes that a Cylon infilitrator is aboard Galactica.
Later that night, Helo and Sharon are camping out in the Caprica surface when they hear a coded transmission on their radio. Convinced that other people are still alive on the planet, the duo make plans to continue searching.
Back onboard Galactica, Bill and Gaeta ask Baltar about his progress on creating a working Cylon detector. Although Baltar makes several excuses, he convinces Bill that his need to work on the project is important. Bill subsequently assigns Gaeta to help the doctor. As they leave together, Baltar (clearly bothered by someone "watching" him) ducks into a room with several pilots including Starbuck, and offers to play a card game with them.
As Boomer and Crashdown travel through a nearby system, they discover a planet rich in water reserves. As they check the planet's supplies, the Cylon side of Boomer awakens and tries to detonate explosives that have been planted in her chair. However, she overcomes her programming and relays the planet's location back to Galactica.
When they arrive back on the Battlestar, Boomer asks Tyrol to check the Raptor for explosives, and he discovers the one affixed to her chair. He later meets with her and says that he has turned the evidence over to the Master-at-Arms, and is confident that the investigation will be solved.
Onboard Colonial One, Roslin requests a meeting with Lee. When he arrives on the ship, she tells him that she was impressed with the way he assisted her during the reception on the Battle, and offers to make him a special advisor in the form of military protocol. Lee is unsure about the offer, but she tells him it will help assuage his guilt over what happened with the Olympic Carrier…
Awesome Moment of Crowning: Galactica's formal ceremony for President Roslin, in order to inaugurate her new role.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Boomer, during her attempt to detonate the explosives strapped to her seat. She manages to overcome her programming and stop herself from triggering the device.
Continuity Nod: Reference is made to the events of the previous episode ("33"), and the survivor count has been adjusted accordingly. At the end of the episode, Roslin references Lee's guilt over shooting down the Olympic Carrier while bestowing his new advisory title.
Conveniently Close Planet: Averted.
Tigh: The galaxy's a pretty barren and desolate place when you get right down to it.
Early Installment Weirdness: The mechanics on the flight deck wear white jumpsuits in this episode. The white uniforms never appear again in the rest of the series.
Easy Amnesia: Boomer doesn't remember how she came to be in the equipment soaked in water and sitting beside a bag of explosives (which was caused by her Cylon programming). In the end, she lets Tyrol take the lead in the investigation, and the issue isn't brought up again.
Fantastic Measurement System: The Colonials measure liquid in "JPs." Though it's not clear as to whether this is analogous to liters or gallons, or even what "JP" stands for.
Fighting from the Inside: Boomer, as she attempts to stop herself from detonating the explosives on the Raptor.
Infinite Supplies: Subverted. Galactica runs on a recyclable source of water, but their (and, subsequently, the fleet's) supplies are jeopardized by the explosives Boomer set off, forcing them to find a replacement source.
Manchurian Agent: Boomer.
Mars Needs Water: Inverted; it's the humans who need water, and because they're in interstellar space, the problem is finding a suitable ice-bearing asteroid or planet.
One-Word Title
Plausible Deniability: Tyrol covers for Sharon by telling the investigators that the trail to find the culprit behind the sabotage is long gone, and gives the explosives to the ship's Master-at-Arms to let her handle the matter.

At a time when Raghava Lawrence needs to be only focused on his upcoming release, Kanchana 3 that's due to release on this Friday (April 19), Naam Thamizhar Katchi chief Seeman and his political party is making it difficult for him to stay at peace. For those unaware, Seeman and his party candidates have been defaming him on social media and public events by passing distasteful remarks on his philanthropic work. But obviously Raghava couldn't let this go and gave it back to Seeman in a lengthy Facebook post. However, he also ensured to not mention Seeman or anybody's name and make it messier considering it's election time.
"Your party functionaries are unnecessarily commenting in a very cheap manner about my philanthropic activities in social media platforms. They are outright crass and vulgar. This has caused a lot of mental agony for me. When I participate in a public function, your party people come there and speak in unparliamentary words. All these have begun since the time when you started badmouthing about me in your meetings. I don't care about these things. But differently-abled people who I am taking care, your people continue to harass them wherever they go through their words and actions", wrote Lawrence on Facebook adding, " I can tolerate whatever happens to me but I can't when it comes to my children who are differently-abled and also my fans. I do not know anything in politics and I am a zero in it. Earlier on, I was a zero in dancing but I learnt the art. I had been a zero in direction but I learnt it too. I was also a zero in production but now I have learnt it. So, don't make me learn politics. I will learn it and become a hero in it. You speak a lot but I serve a lot. If both of us sit in a stage and list out the good things that we have done to society, I will have many. Would you have? This is election time. That's why I have not mentioned your name in goodwill."
According to reports, Raghava has also issued a press release warning Seeman to stay out of his way. It's left to see how does Seeman react to this. Keep watching this space for more updates.

Citizenship Tangle
Meet 12-year-old Zen Sadavarte, who wants the Supreme Court to get children out of protest sites
The Class 7 student from Mumbai has won a bravery award, read the complete works of Shakespeare and wants a better midday meal scheme for children.
Aarefa Johari

Zen Gunratan Sadavarte's letter to the Chief Justice of India has been turned into a PIL. | Aarefa Johari
In the span of two weeks, 12-year-old Zen Gunratan Sadavarte has hit national headlines on two occasions, for two completely different reasons.
On January 26, the Class 7 student from Mumbai was given a National Bravery Award by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saving the lives of ten people when her building caught fire in August 2018.
A week later, while researching the problems with India's midday meal scheme online, Sadavarte chanced upon a news report on the death of a four-month-old boy at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh protest. The infant had been exposed to the winter cold on several occasions when his parents took him to the sit-in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, and finally caught a fatal cold on January 30. His parents, though distraught, have claimed that they will continue to attend the sit-in protest along with their other children, aged one and five.
Disturbed by what she read, Sadavarte wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India SA Bobde on February 5, describing the participation of infants and children in protests as "torture and cruelty", violative of "child rights and natural justice". Her letter sought a probe into the Shaheen Bagh infant's death and guidelines on the contentious issue of the presence of children at protest sites.
Her letter prompted the Supreme Court to turn her informal appeal into formal public interest litigation. Sadavarte has also been granted permission to represent herself and speak in court at the next hearing.
"My opinion is simple," Sadavarte told Scroll.in. "Why would you take a child who can't speak for himself to a protest like that? What are you trying to showcase? It is wrong under Article 21 and Article 45 of the Constitution." Article 21 deals with the fundamental right to life and personal liberty, and Article 45 holds the State responsible for providing early childhood care and education to all children up to the age of six.

A precocious child
Strikingly, in interviews done by Scroll.in last week, one of the reasons that parents cited for taking their children to protests was the lack of options for childcare facilities. "The argument that children should not be taken to protests comes from a place of privilege, from those who can afford to get childcare help," said Yengkhom Jilangamba, a parent from Guwahati who took his five-year-old son to protests against the Citizenship Act because he had nowhere else to leave the child.
Jilangamba also pointed out that when women are at the forefront of protests – as is the case with the ongoing anti-CAA movement – the presence of children at protests site would be inevitable. "Because of the patriarchal society we live in, women are seen as the primary caregivers of children, and we don't have infrastructure for affordable day-care," he said.
Sadavarte claims she recognises this problem, and would never expect parents to forgo their right to protest because of these constraints. But she has been unable to reconcile this with the fact that the infant at Shaheen Bagh was exposed to conditions that proved fatal, and that his parents are willing to continue exposing their other children to the same conditions.
A student of Don Bosco International School in South Mumbai's Matunga area, Sadavarte is the daughter of Gunratan Sadavarte, a civil lawyer, and Jayshri Patil, a criminal lawyer. They named her Zen on the suggestion of a Japanese monk they met in Aurangabad when she was a baby.
According to Patil, Zen has been precocious since she was a toddler, always studying each year's curriculum before the school year actually begins. Sadavarte plays state-level basketball, inter-school Scrabble and loves writing poetry. She claims to have read the complete constitutions of five countries and memorised the preambles of seven. She has also read the complete works of Shakespeare, unabridged, and Patil claims she often stays up long past her bedtime to read about history.
"I have read about the freedom struggle, the Indus Valley civilisation and other international civilisations, and my research also extends to the discrimination against black people and Red Indians [Native Americans]," said Sadavarte, who is short-haired, bright-eyed and confident in her speech.
'I want to be a lawyer'
For a 12-year-old, Sadavarte is fiercely independent. When Scroll.in approached her parents with an interview request, her father left the decision to her, saying, "she makes her own schedule". Throughout the interview, held at a Mumbai café, Sadavarte needed no help or prompting from her parents, who sat at another table.
"I want to be a lawyer representing India at the International Court of Justice," said Sadavarte, who is passionate about human rights causes.
Like most children from urban, upper-middle-class, English-speaking families in India, Sadavarte has access to books and the vast online world that she uses to satiate her thirst for knowledge and information about a wide range of issues.
Unlike most of her peers, however, Sadavarte makes it a point to step out of the comforts of the city to try and understand social justice issues on the ground. She spends almost all her holidays travelling with her parents, visiting villages in Maharashtra and other parts of India, and has been particularly affected by gender and caste-based discrimination that she has witnessed in rural schools.
"In many places, girls and boys are still separated in schools," said Sadavarte. "And in Himachal Pradesh, I saw one school taking children on a trip to a temple, but the lower-caste children were made to stand in a separate line and they were not allowed inside the temple. That is the kind of mentality we don't want in this world."

Sadavarte believes that young Indians want to move past these biases and prejudices, but lack the social framework for implementing new ideas. "I feel we need a lot of development, but we also need systems to support the morals of the new generation," she said.
Sadavarte acknowledges the United Nations' position that children have a right to protest for their rights. In 2016, at age nine, Sadavarte herself attended a college protest in Mumbai against the caste-based discrimination that allegedly led to the suicide of Dalit student Rohith Vemula in Hyderabad. "I went there for research, to understand why people were protesting," she said.
When the Shaheen Bagh infant died, Sadavarte says she took leave from school to travel to Delhi and visit the protest site, where she spoke to children before writing her letter to the Chief Justice of India. "I was neutral," she said. "I wanted to know why people were protesting, and whether the children there knew what was going on around them."
While some older children were familiar with the cause, Sadavarte found that the harsh wintry conditions at Shaheen Bagh were not necessarily favourable for children in general. She believes that if protests stand to harm children – like the infant who died of a cold – their participation is wrong "at any age".
Selective cognisance by the Supreme Court?
According to child rights activist Shantha Sinha, the concern shown by young Sadavarte for the Shaheen Bagh infant is understandable. But she believes that the Supreme Court's prompt decision to take suo moto cognisance of the child's letter raises questions.
"We are a country with starvation and malnutrition everywhere, and many infants have died of hunger," said Sinha, a former chairperson of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights. "If the Supreme Court has taken cognisance of an infant's right to life, it should include the right to life and life with dignity in all such cases. I have seen many children write postcards and letters to the Supreme Court about how they are affected by the lack of water, toilets, teachers or schools, but those cases are not taken up."
When it comes to suo moto cases, Sinha believes that a court – particularly the apex court – should ideally take up public interest cases that involve problems with governance, policy or state actions. While the state cannot directly be held responsible for the death of the Shaheen Bagh baby, she says, there have been other recent cases where it can.
In Karnataka's Bidar district, for instance, the primary school children who staged a play against the Citizenship Act have been interrogated by the police at least five times after a sedition case was filed against their teacher and a parent. In several parts of Uttar Pradesh, reports have found that the police not only detained 41 children while cracking down on anti-CAA protests, but also tortured several minors in custody.
While these incidences have been widely reported in the media, no court has taken suo moto cognisance of the cases.
There is also another reason for the prominent presence of young people at the protests against the CAA and the proposed National Register of Citizens. Under the citizenship law, those born after 2004 – who are still minors today – would have to bear the heaviest burden of proving their citizenship, since they would have to prove that both their parents are Indians.

An appeal to national leaders
At the time of this interview, Sadavarte was not familiar with some of the other controversial cases of children being caught up in the political tussle around the Citizenship Amendment Act. She did not know, for instance, about the schoolchildren in Bidar who have been interrogated by the police.
But in the case of the Shaheen Bagh infant, Sadavarte has clear views.
"I hold not just the parents responsible but also the organisers of the protest and the government," she said. "It is my sincerest appeal to Mr Modi, Mr Amit Shah, Mr Kejriwal and Mr Rahul Gandhi not to play politics with this issue because it is about the protection of the next generation."
For now, Sadavarte is looking forward to speaking at the hearing of her case in the Supreme Court, and is focused on her independent, extra-curricular research on two topics that have caught her interest. "Presently I am working on children's hunger, because in rural schools, midday meals are not served on weekends and during school holidays. I am also researching transgender reservations, which should be introduced as a policy."
During the bravery awards ceremony on January 26, Sadavarte claims she asked the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the social justice minister if the government could improve the midday meal scheme and provide children with meals even on holidays. "I was disappointed that they did not answer my question directly but started explaining other things to me," she said.

Research reveals postcode lottery for music education
UNIVERSITY NEWS LAST UPDATED : 31 MAY 2019
A study by Birmingham City University has revealed that young people are less likely to take an A-level qualification in music if they come from deprived areas.
School of Education and Social Work
Findings reveal that 60 per cent of A-level music entries came from schools in postcodes with POLAR ratings of 4 or 5 – a rating that indicates a high proportion of 18 year olds in the area study at university.
The project, commissioned by the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, investigated changes in the demographics and uptake of A-level music over a five-year period.
Led by Dr Adam Whittaker, Dr Victoria Kinsella, Dr Anthony Anderson and Professor Martin Fautley, the study showed that independent schools account for a disproportionately high number of A-level music entries when compared to national entry statistics.
Over 20 per cent of these A-level music entries were clustered around fewer than 50 schools.
Small average class sizes also pose a threat to the qualification. The project assessed data from 2013 to 2018, during which there was an average class size of just three pupils.
The study also revealed that many of the local authorities that routinely entered small numbers of candidates for A-level music qualifications are among those in the most disadvantaged areas of the country.
Dr Adam Whittaker said: "The significant decline in A-level music is extremely alarming. It is deeply worrying that students in the most deprived local authorities are not able to study A-level music, while other more affluent areas see high numbers of entry.
The threat of small class sizes is also a concern. In a tough financial climate, it can be hard for schools to justify the expense of offering a qualification and having a specialist teacher if the uptake is low, further limiting pupils access to studying music and even pursuing a career in music.
Dr Adam Whittaker
This comes as another study by Birmingham City University revealed that music education can help keep disengaged young people in mainstream school.
Dr Victoria Kinsella, who was involved in both research projects, said: "We know how important music education is, both for those who want to pursue a career or further study in music and young people who may not be engaging with the curriculum.
"These findings highlight a concerning trend. Music education should be available to everyone, regardless of where they live."

Long Distance Triathlon Memoir
How I Became a Man of Iron with 11 Months Training
By Jason Pegler
Key Themes: Memoir, Triathlon, Endurance, Cycling, Running, Ironman, Human Potential
When I was nine years old, I loved sport and was captivated by watching the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. I swore to myself that, one day, I would do that race and win it. That was in 1984. For the next twenty-eight years I continued to love participating in and watching sport, although I do not recall thinking about the phrase 'Ironman' ever again, apart from about the superhero played by Robert Downey Jnr in the film.
In July 2012, I was to rekindle my passion for Ironman racing. This book describes my journey from complete novice to Ironman finisher in 11 months.
My promise to you, the inspiring reader, is to give you my all, be honest and not take myself too seriously.
Training for and completing my first Ironman made me a better person, a better partner, a better father, a better business owner and improved my health. This is because it made me think bigger and raised my self-esteem. You may be a multiple Ironman, a professional Ironman athlete (in my dreams, hey?), a coach or a triathlete; you may have a swimming, cycling or running background and be considering taking up the sport, or just have an insane desire to complete the ultimate one-day endurance sporting event that was designed to test the human potential to its limit.
Believe me, it's not easy, but when you cross that finish line there is no feeling quite like it.
Enter Your Ironman
The most decisive moment for me, and I believe for anyone wanting to complete an Ironman, was to commit to entering an Ironman by paying for it a long time in advance.
For weeks, I had been discussing with Nick which was the best Ironman race to enter. Nick suggested Frankfurt or Klagenfurt as the two best races in Europe. Nick entered Frankfurt and, as I procrastinated, it very quickly sold out, as did Klagenfurt. He advised Klagenfurt, as it was a fast course with a swim in a lake and a fast bike course, so I picked that. I did this by entering through an Ironman travel agent called Nirvana Europe, which buys Ironman tickets. As long as you book your accommodation with them, you can purchase your ticket with them, albeit at around £150 more than it would be if you bought it on ironman.com before they sold out.
The moment I entered Klagenfurt, it was like the whole thing became 100 times more real. I became totally focused and probably obsessed with completing the race, which was not until June 2013, some eleven months away. The fact that I did this in my first few weeks of training was a massive psychological boost that gave me huge motivation and momentum to complete my sessions. I already saw myself as an Ironman and just needed to do everything I could to make it happen come crunch time.
I started to watch YouTube videos of all the great Ironman World Championship races at home. Thank God for YouTube. Top of my list was the infamous 1989 "Iron war" between Dave Scott and Mark Allen. Dave Scott was the six-time champion, and was practically unbeatable in the humidity of Kona, until Mark Allen finally managed to become victorious and come first after several years of heartache. The two had been head to head, wheel to wheel and elbow to elbow the entire race, and obliterated the rest of the field. With only a couple of miles to go, Dave grabbed for a drink at the last drinks station, and Mark said that something in his mind went go and it was like he was "shot out of a cannon".
That's a bit like I felt the moment I entered Klagenfurt, although I was bit clumsier and less canon-like than Mark. During training, I actually ran into a lamppost and rode into a ditch, but managed to carry on both times.
Seriously though, a golden nugget of advice for you is to enter the race way in advance. I would recommend an official Ironman race if you can afford it (see ironman.com), as that is how triathlon and Ironman started. They are also brilliantly organised; people come from all over the world, and it gets you close to the source of energy you need to complete an Ironman (only joking, although, for me, I think there really was something in that … anyway, back to the story, or, dare I say, guide….)
By entering the race well in advance, I was fully committed. I knew what lay ahead … I was totally excited and absolutely terrified. That was my yin and yang. I then set about telling everyone I saw about it. That was a big driving factor in me taking the plunge to meet up with Nick, enter the race and continue the training, which is a huge commitment in anyone's life. By telling everyone about it, you become accountable, as next time you see people they will always ask you how the training's going, guaranteed … this unconsciously and consciously drives you to carry out your training. It's also a nice thing to do, as you would be amazed how many people it encourages to exercise more regularly. I told hundreds of people within the first couple of months of entering, and found myself as an unpaid fitness mentor, instructor and consultant, all of a sudden. That was a lot of pro bono work, I am telling you.… The more accountable you are to other people, the more likely you are to complete your goal…. That goes with anything in life, and it goes big time with something as hard-core as doing an Ironman….

Standard date functions are for use with standard date formats, or just date formats. A date format refers to internally stored data that is capable of holding date components, such as century, year, quarter, month, and day. It does not include time components. A synonym does not specify an internal data type or length for a date format. Instead, it specifies display date components, such as D (day), M (month), Q (quarter), Y (2-digit year), or YY (4-digit year). For example, format MDYY is a date format that has three date components; it can be used in the USAGE attribute of a synonym. A real date value, such as March 9, 2004, described by this format is displayed as 03/09/2004, by default. Date formats can be full component and non-full component. Full component formats include all three letters, for example, D, M, and Y. JUL for Julian can also be included. All other date formats are non-full component. Some date functions require full component arguments for date fields, while others will accept full or non-full components. A date format was formerly called a smart date.
Legacy date functions are for use with legacy dates only. A legacy date refers to formats with date edit options, such as I6YMD, A6MDY, I8YYMD, or A8MDYY. For example, A6MDY is a 6-byte alphanumeric string. The suffix MDY indicates the order in which the date components are stored in the field, and the prefix I or A indicates a numeric or alphanumeric form of representation. For example, a value '030599' can be assigned to a field with format A6MDY, which will be displayed as 03/05/99.
Date formats have an internal representation matching either numeric or alphanumeric format. For example, A6MDY matches alphanumeric format, YYMD and I6DMY match numeric format. When function output is a date in specified by output, it can be used either for assignment to another date field of this format, or it can be used for further data manipulation in the expression with data of matching formats. Assignment to another field of a different date format, will yield a random result.
In addition to the functions discussed in this topic, there are date and time functions that are available only in the Maintain language. For information on these functions, see Maintain-specific Date and Time Functions.

An innovative economy and streamlined public service go hand in hand. Discover the latest insight on financial policy design and evaluation from Don Drummond, keynote speaker at the 2017 Public Sector Conference.
Many forecasters predict a "new normal" era of slower economic growth than the past. What are the implications of this for federal, provincial and municipal governments?
Governments are going to have to restrain spending to a pace considerably slower than the 2000s. In particular, healthcare spending will be a challenge because of aging demographics. The combination of slower economic growth, slower revenue growth and an aging population will force all levels of government to be more efficient and effective in the delivery of public services. Otherwise, they won't be able to provide the services residents want and need while remaining fiscally sustainable.
What practical advice do you have for CPAs who work in public finance and want to learn more about results-oriented performance management?
CPAs can help government programs by paying greater attention to their design. For example, business subsidies should not be implemented unless a market failure can be defined. Objectives must be clearly set out ex ante so that programs and services can be modified if they fall short.
In terms of financial policy design and evaluation, an evidence-based approach is critical. What are the top challenges facing today's public servants, who must reconcile this policy imperative with limited resources, increased reporting obligations and the need to deliver results?
A constant challenge as a public servant is to provide sound policy advice when your political masters sometimes feel less sound approaches would be more popular. That's why it is so important to back up your advice with strong analysis and evidence. A second challenge is securing high quality information to support the required analysis and evidence, but there is some progress on that front – for example, the return of the Census Program.
Budget 2017 indicates that two priority areas for the Trudeau government are green infrastructure and sustainable, community-minded social programs. What's your perspective on these investment targets?
Canada has long starved its public infrastructure, so it's refreshing to see this become more of a priority. The tilt toward green infrastructure is especially welcome. Community-based social programs are valuable, but in all cases it is important to get to the heart of social and economic stresses. For example, many of socioeconomic gaps faced by Canada's indigenous population can be traced to inferior education opportunities and in turn that stems from under-funding and governance issues.
How can public servants – including CPAs, economists and other financial professionals in government – foster innovation in the broader Canadian economy?
Public servants can foster innovation by playing a more powerful role as information providers. A recent survey by Deloitte indicated that one third of businesses were seriously under-investing relative to competitors, but did not know this was happening. Canadian businesses must expand beyond the North American market but often need help to do that. Innovation does not always mean being a world leader in something. Adapting best technologies and practices along with using global value-added chains can turn a company and a country into a global economic powerhouse.
Your keynote at the Public Sector Conference is about the need for greater efficiency in public service. What can attendees look forward to in your session?
Slower economic growth is going to force a revolution in how public services are created and implemented. There will be much less scope to tolerate ineffective, inefficient programs and design needs to be smarter. Results will need to be relentlessly evaluated to measure efficiency. Program and service modifications will need to be ongoing to make corrections. And this new era needs a new breed of public servant – one that is much more analytical, broader in perspective and driven by results.
To learn more about the evolution of today's public sector and the impact of CPA leadership in government, register for this year's Public Sector Conference, which takes place in Ottawa from October 23-24, 2017.


Excitement is a word often associated with Paris, as is love. Both are present in abundance as the French Grand Slam approaches like a fully laden 747.
Most of the main contenders have settled into their accommodation and have familiarised themselves with the facilities which are, as usual, outstanding.
Around the practice courts casual observers have been delighted to see legends of the game Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli having a gentle trundle round the clay, the guitarist with an ever-present cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth while the dapper violinist has had the small band of watchers in stitches by miming playing his racquet with a bow. They are not here to compete, of course, but to play an exhibition match for invited guests. It was a lovely moment when jazz-fusion pioneer Jean-Luc Ponty—much fancied to go deep into the second week of the tournament—was seen chatting with Master Grappelli after the practice session. Ponty exudes a quiet confidence, having taken home the trophy twice already in his career, most recently with his brilliant use of sequencers on the enduringly fresh jazz-fusion-electronica LP Individual Choice.
Also on a practice court, though behind some hastily arranged hessian curtains, was number one seed Jean-Michel Jarre receiving last-minute coaching from his father. It was rumoured that raised voices were heard, though it is likely this was only a result of Jean-Michel whacking tennis balls at lurking paparazzi who demanded to see Charlotte Rampling. 'We're divorced,' muttered Jean-Michel sulkily. 'Concentrate!' bellowed his father.
Other magic moments occurred during the closing stages of the qualification rounds, when two of the most colourful entrants played an inconsistent yet wildly entertaining match that lasted well into the evening. No-one gave Moving Gelatine Plates much of a chance against the internationally admired Gong, but the lesser known outfit put in a terrific effort across three fluctuating sets. What a treat for the small but enthusiastic crowd to see such musical madness on display. The Plates, as they are known to their fans, certainly have the musical chops to make it in the big time, though their wilful eccentricity—breaking into a weird version of 'Three Blind Mice' during feature piece 'London Cab', for instance—sometimes causes them to come unstuck.
Unstuck is a word sometimes associated with Gong too. Unhinged is another. The pot-head pixies were all over the court, dancing, singing and generally taking the piss, though some of the match's most exciting moments came when the saxophones of Didier Malherbe dueled and danced with the woodwinds of MGP's Maurice Helminger.
In the end, the deeper experience of Gong got them across the line. After all, MGP only made two albums and Gong are almost immortal. Still, the Plates made many new friends and vowed to return with more Gallic Zappa-ish shenanigans next year.
The contrast between the mad good-humour of the above match with the scandal that followed could not be more marked. Less than an hour after the two teams downed racquets and opened a magnum of champagne, Gong were disqualified for being insufficiently French. In the subsequent press conference, David Allen, his normally cheerful Australian dialect noticeably strained, expressed disbelief in the tournament referee's decision.
Moving Gelatine Plates were awarded the now-vacant place in the main draw, but politely declined.
Officials, panicking a little at the gap in the draw, made a hasty phone-call Jacques Loussier. The jazz pianist had been eliminated during the quals and was in the act of checking out of his hotel when he took the call. Reluctant at first—'This is no place for a serious musician,' he is reported to have said—the chamber jazz maestro was lured back with the promise of the #3 seeding, placing him in what many consider to be the most volatile quadrant of the draw.
The entire draw appears below.
Day Two will appear in a couple of days.
The French Open series was inspired by, and is a tribute to, much-loved and greatly missed writer/comedian John Clarke [29 July 1948—9 April 2017].
Have you read John Clarke's entries on Farnarkelling. My dad used to serve him in the bank quite often?
For a person of my generation, the first French electronic acts I reach for are more modern like AIR and Daft Punk.
Stay tuned for a brief appearance by those later generations.
I remember the Farnarkelling radio spots well. Fabulous. And by all accounts (that's a little banking joke, there) John Clarke was a lovely human being.
With more to come, Michael!
PS. The boy (first year of secondary school) was working on an assignment last night: the opening credits of 'Catch Me If You Can'. As I was enjoying analysing them with him, I thought of you and your series. A candidate?
Genius (Hans) post – a huge morning smile from here.
Thank you! And with an MGP joke as well. Perfect.
Good to hear, James. Yes, many are obscure. But that's just my collection I guess!
A la Eurovision, could we sneak in an Aussie as a reserve? … voilà Cleis Pearce.
As to memories poked, I saw Stéphane Grappelli in Melbourne in the mid 70's … very exciting.
Perhaps an Australian Open, DD?
I have a vague memory of that tour – Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen on bass pops up in my memory for some reason, probably inaccurately.
Glad you enjoyed it, JDB. Plenty more to come.
And thank you for commenting on the new banner. I was a little worried I'd be lambasted for putting up the flag of the Netherlands but the number of albums required for a vertical tricolour was beyond even my level of obsessiveness!
Confession: it's early enough in the day over here that it didn't even register that your color bands were horizontal and not 'upstanding' French. Quelle faux pas!
Cheers Bill. Will be serving this up for a while, I think.
Urggh! Fine post ruined by vile cover of the Moving Gelatine Plates LP. No more, please!
Christ on a bike! Make them stop.
Sadly, they did. Really interesting music, despite the covers!
On a 100% unrelated note I picked up a vinyl copy of Secret Machines 'Now Here Is Nowhere' today, it got rereleased last year but there's only 1625 of them. I remember you were a big fan too and the original copies are exorbitant.
Nice one. Love that album (and I suspect you will too). That was a really early post at VC.
I think my copy is white vinyl, from memory.
Weirdly enough I bought the CD back when it came out – it was never released over here on vinyl.
I remember your post, it was a good 'un.
"Concentrate! bellowed his father". Now that's funny. I just went for a Saturday walk with Stephane the other day and I see Ponty took a walk also.
He did. Great cover, isn't it? Did you and Stephane buy ice creams?
Yes he did but a fly landed on his. I said "I guess he wanted a bite Steph". And he gave me that smile you were talking about.
Mate, you've lost me. Even the innocent phrase "day 2 will appear in a couple of days" is playing havoc with my perception of time and arithmetic.
You're welcome to borrow the TARDIS if that would help.
I must be familiar with some French artists, right? I know Ponty played with Zappa but pre-comment fact checking turned up it was Don "Sugarcane" Harris's violin vice Jean-Luc's on personal favorite "Directly From My Heart to You." I've heard and read of Gong forever, of course, but never actually heard them nor thought them to be French (apparently a prejudice shared by others per your piece).
My ignorance of things Gallic may make this a tough five days for me, but I'll stick with it for the color commentary, which c'est magnifique.
Stoicism is doubtless a virtue in these circs. Thanks for buying a tournament pass.

Vienna, vienna Austria
Fritz Wieninger is considered a pioneer of the 'New Vienna' wine movement, combining a sense of modernity and progress with the traditions of the region and of his family, who have been making wine for over 100 years.
Weingut Wieninger is comprised of 50 hectares of biodynamically-grown vines on two main sites: Bisamberg (35 hectares) and the smaller Nussberg (15 hectares), separated by the Danube river. Drier and sunnier Bisamberg is characterised by light, sandy loess soil which makes for fresh wines with a vibrant acidity. In contrast, Nussberg has shell and limestone soils with a high clay content, giving wines greater richness and deeper fruit aromas.
Best enjoyed young and fresh, the Riesling has notes of peach with hints of mango and pineapple. The lively palate shows good complexity with flavours of sweet stone fruits. The Pinot Noir Select has ripe cherry aromas complemented by delicate spice notes. The palate expresses a bright acidity and soft tannins. Wieninger also makes a traditional Viennese white – Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC – from its separate sites. This unique style is a field blend of varieties which are grown, picked and fermented together, showing the individual characteristics of each vineyard rather than of a specific variety. Fritz's blends contain Weissburgunder, Neuburger, Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, Sylvaner, Zierfandler, Rotgipfler, Traminer and Riesling. "I try to use the numerous facets of my grape material," says Fritz, "to be able to show the differences in site and vintage and to get the character of the vineyard into the bottle – this is my greatest challenge."
