RAGETRADES! YOUR SOURCE FOR RAGE of BAHAMUT INFO, HELP and TRADES: Need another gacha style ard game?
Need another gacha style ard game?
I'm guessing trades won't be up for a while now. If you need a new game check out Legend of the Cryptids.
So of you're going to start playing on are on iPhone, get yourself and me the same invite prize (it's similar to Mina but not 19 cards).
Also android is on separate server, so if someone here plays on android. Please post ur code only for Loc.
So it turns out that LoC Guilds don't care how awesome u r at ROB. Lmao. Anyway started a guild (same thing as an order exactly even down to the wall prices). BTW it's only for iOS Users (Android is on a different server). So send me what they call a "cheer" (support) to MizMizuki (case sensitive).
Let me know that u want to join and that you are from ROB (if u want to state your ROB IGN/LvL. that works). Don't know how serious we'll get here but I'm guessing this isn't the first time ROB is going to outlaw trades. So at least we'll have somewhere else to go.
PS if you can donate unused treasure that would be a big help.
Click here to see an ROB/LOC comparison.
Please use event21 as your referral code. For the Legend of the Cryptids.
Well legend of the cryptids make it harder to hack into because of the debugging files that load with your application. It still can be done but not as easily as it is with ROB for the novice who just learned how to jailbreak.
I'm playing same as RoB (johncfl71). I'm not that into the game, but it fills the gap (somewhat). The game always seems to crash during a battle with Payne. UGH! Oh well. At least we can trade, although, I don't really want to get too invested in this game. I'm just still learning more about RoB.
I don't think they have a big issue with multiple accounts since it's registered to a valid device. There's much more to fix than feeder accounts. Example: RubberChip Check this guy out. He's level 52 and has 752 Defense Power. How did he get all that? Is it even possible? At his current level? These kinds as well as the "Phantom Legend" cards that were confiscated are the true problems with this game.
But, I ramble...see you either on RoB or LoC.
Started playing legends of the cryptids while waiting on RoB to bring back trades. My referral code is claxton13 for Android users.
Apparently Cygames and Applibot are owned by the same parent company. So does that mean Legend of the Cryptids and Rage are basically the same? No one here has mentioned this. Funny how they're both doing a login stamp bonus campaign.
My referral code for Loc is Event21.Please use so both can get a bonus.
Thank you MizMizuki for mentioning cryptids on here. It is occupying many RoB players time while we wait on trading to come back.
So, what do you think of the new trading system???????
Ugh. Idk. Not my cup of tea. I'll try it out but might switch games if it's as much as a pain in the a** as I think it's going to be. By the way. Click the classifieds menu option then go to ROB news if u guys need more info.
This game looks promising, especially with the revamps to RoB & the Bazaar. Use Turnip for referral code on Android LoC.

ORIGINAL FRENCH ARTICLE: L'imposture
by Jean-Paul Piérot
The Imposture
Translated Thursday 10 November 2011, by Isabelle Métral and reviewed by Bill Scoble
The austerity plan presented yesterday [1] by François Fillon, the French prime minister, constitutes a further stage in the enterprise of social destruction that has been wrought since the beginning of president Sarkozy's term of office in 2007. Familiar as those deceptive ploys have become, as has the dramatic staging of their delusive announcements, the enormity of the manoeuvre to which the completely discredited government just now resorts leaves one flabbergasted.
Short of being able to persuade the lower or lower-middle-class electors to whom he owes his victory in the presidential election - "I stand for purchasing power", "work harder and earn more" - Nicolas Sarkozy thinks he has struck a note of fear that will enable him to evade the doom that awaits him in the polls. The Greek Crisis serves as a threat brandished against the social movement. "The word 'bankruptcy' is no vain word," François Fillon deliberately warned, somewhat imprudently at that, since the remark exposes the team that has presided over France's destiny for the last five years to the risk of being blamed by the better informed of our citizens for bringing down this dire prospect upon us. The French sovereign debt is inordinate? The deficit unacceptable? But who is to blame for the inadequacy of the public revenue if not those who under Sarkozy's leadership have multiplied fiscal exemptions for the benefit of the richest and spread the cost of their largess on the rest of society through cuts in the social benefits.
This short-sighted policy has largely contributed to hampering growth, and hardly justifies Fillon's prescribing "the acceleration of our efforts". This headlong rush towards yet more austerity will push France down into a deadly spiral. The austerity plans stifle consumption and call for more austerity plans in the future. The scenario the Government is unrolling is very similar to the Greek scenario, only to a lesser degree, even though Nicolas Sarkozy is presented as the man who allegedly wants "to protect French people from the serious difficulties several European countries are labouring under." What nerve!
The aggravation of the pension reform is sure to postpone the retiring age for salaried workers born between 1952 and 1956 and push up the unemployment rate for young people looking for jobs. The upgrading of benefits proportionately to the growth rate instead of the cost of living means that child benefits will increase by half the expected rate in 2012. The rise in the the lower VAT rate to 7% from 5.5% will cost low-income workers as much as billionaires. Likewise the uncoupling of the income tax from inflation will result in an undifferentiated increase in the tax pressure. The new cuts in public expenses and health care will be felt first and foremost by low-income families. Parallel to this, the "exceptional" rise in the tax on large companies and in the fixed levy on dividends, supposed to offset these dispositions, seem merely appetizers when compared to the extravagant bill footed by labour for these liberalities.
What cannot be denied is this government's stubbornness. François Fillon slipped an ominous sentence into his speech: "Our growth model must be redefined: it has become unsustainable after being too long fuelled by consumption - itself stoked up by social benefits." This is a major confession. Five years ago Denis Kessler, then at the head of the bosses' association, hailed Nicolas Sarkozy's election as the opportunity to give up the platform of the Resistance's National Committee…Nicolas Sarkozy has not disappointed that component of the Right on this point!

Park Eun-Sun was born in 1965 in Mok-Po, South Korea. The discovery of painting, arrived very early in the life of the artist who dreamed of becoming a great painter, yet at twelve years old his parents prevented him from attending the Institute of Art. His art teacher at secondary school, however recognised his skills and allowed him secretly to make use of the class, in which he could practice painting. Park Eun Sun participated in and won several kids painting competitions, and so his parents allowed him to devote himself to art. On moving to Seoul, he enrolled in a degree course at the University of Kyung Hee to become an Art Instructor. After completing his military service, he dedicated himself to housing design, approaching space in this way, perceiving the value of it and studying environments. The importance dedicated to forms and matter brought him nearer to the study of sculpture, resulting in him changing his field of study from painting to sculpture, at the University of Kyung Hee. The discovery of materials passed from the initial use of clay, to marble and granite later, his consolidation as a sculptor developed through participation in numerous group exhibitions and competitions. In 1993 he moved to Italy, to Pietrasanta, where he continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. Repeated travels led him to acquire a sense of ancient and modern beauty, sparking an interest in marble that he began to use in his dual tone sculptures. The first solo exhibitions were held in Florence in 1995, in Munich (Bavaria) in 1996 and in Seoul in 1997. Park Eun Sun's sculpture develops in the concept of space expressed by Eastern cultures through the abrasion of the surface where cracks, tears and cuts co-exist which symbolize the opening of human inner reality and, at the same time, the total destruction of the material. His works are linear and globular structures, shapes, spheres, cubes and columns without bearing functionality, but supported by allegories and symbols, where ideas and concepts conquer the surrounding space. The columns represent the metaphor: "the birth and budding spring, the embryo that according to nature develops happily into a child and an adult, through the depiction of the column with its shadows". Park Eun-Sun has exhibited in galleries and museums in Italy (Florence, Genova, Pietrasanta, Rome, Turin, Verona) and abroad (Belgium, Korea, France, Germany, England, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Panama, Poland, Singapore, USA, Switzerland). Currently, his working activity is situated between Europe, South Korea and the Americas.

Pharmacies dealing with major influx of COVID-19 test purchases

CBS 42 Daily News
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — The demand for COVID-19 tests at home is at an all-time high with cases steadily on the rise across the nation, causing pharmacies to sell large amounts of at-home testing kits.
This comes after President Joe Biden announced the free COVID-19 at-home tests to be made available in 2022 through mail services.
Alabama doctors react to President Biden's response to Omicron variant
Local Ritch's Pharmacy co-owner Rebecca Sorrell said she's seeing a major movement for more people purchasing at home COVID-19 tests. She attributes this with increased travel during the holiday season and a rise in COVID-19 cases. The last two days, the pharmacy has seen its largest uptick of at-home COVID-19 test purchases.
"We've sold out each day. We get 100 in and they are gone kind of thing and it's not a supply and demand issue as much as just wanting to know how many I should keep on the shelf. They are available but sometimes they have a delay because there is more interest much more than lets say last week," Sorrell said.
Sorrell does have concerns with Biden's distribution of the tests to homes in the New Year, due to supply chain issues already being felt.

Dr. Celeste Reese-Willis, a family medicine physician in Birmingham, said she supports of the federal government offering free COVID-19 tests, especially for people who are not able to travel to get a tested by a medical professional. Overall, she said the tests are reliable if they are correctly administered. She encourages people uncomfortable with performing a nasal swab to not take an at-home COVID-19 test.
"You may need to be the person that goes into a clinic and gets a professional to swab you. There is a certain amount of reliability on these tests if they are properly followed the instructions are whether or not that patient follows those instructions appropriately needs to be the deciding factor on hey do I go in and get a test or do I not," Reese-Willis, said.
Reese-Willis added that if you have COVID-19 symptoms and you test negative with the at-home tests, you should get tested by a medical provider to confirm your results.

The Song of Roland - Part 18 Summary & Analysis
This Study Guide consists of approximately 92 pages of chapter summaries, quotes, character analysis, themes, and more - everything you need to sharpen your knowledge of The Song of Roland.
Part 18 Summary
Stanzas 203, 204 - Charles wakes up, the angel keeping watch blesses him, and Charles removes his armor. The soldiers remove theirs as well, and return to the battlefield. There he reveals his intention to find Roland's body. He recalls how Roland once described how he'd be found if he were killed in battle - beyond the battlefield, his head turned to face the enemy. This is a clear echo of Stanza 174, when Roland positioned himself for death in exactly the manner Charles recalls. Charles begins his search.
Stanzas 205, 206, 207 - Charles crosses a meadow where the flowers are stained with French blood, comes upon the stones where Roland attempted to destroy his sword and discovers Roland's body. He collapses in grief. As Charles recovers himself, Naimon and several other nobles join him. Charles says his farewells, praising Roland's great deeds. He collapses again, and again...

Steam for Mac is Here & Comes With Free "Portal" Game
May 18, 2010 May 18, 2010 by Klaus
Steam for Mac has arrived – but you probably already know that, it's been all over the Internet for the past few days. If you don't know what Steam is, it's kinda like an "App Store" for games, but on your computer. Previously it has only been available for Windows computers, but now also Mac and it already has 63 games in the store. Not all the games are new, though, but it does contain games such as Football Manager 2010 for instance – but also the good ol' Indiana Jones games (yes, the really old ones!).
Basically, you download Steam (free), launch it – and buy a game and it will download to your computer. Steam makes sure the games are up to date and you don't need to wait for FedEx to arrive with the DVD's – cause it's all done electronically over the Internet.
With the launch of Steam for Mac, the game "Portal" by Valve has been made free until May 24th. "Portal" is from 2007 so it's not a new game, but it has won 70 awards as "game of the year", so it's probably not going to be any issue that it's a few years old, I bet you'll be able to pull out several hours of gaming enjoyment.
Get started with Steam is easy – you can visit Steam's website here and download it, and you'll get access to the free version of "Portal" too.

Q: Using Jena in Eclipse Plugin I'm trying to use the Jena libraries from inside an eclipse plugin.
If I use it normally, I can write code like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Query query = QueryFactory.create("SELECT * {} LIMIT 10");
    // provider.disconnect(file);
    QueryExecution qexec = QueryExecutionFactory.sparqlService(
            "http://dbpedia.org/sparql", query);
    switch (query.getQueryType()) {
    case (Query.QueryTypeSelect): {
        ResultSet results = qexec.execSelect();
        ResultSetFormatter.out(System.out, results);
        break;
    }
    default:
        return;
    }
}

But when I use the same code to execute a sparql query from an Eclipse plugin project (I run the plugin in the another eclipse runtime) it doesn't work.
There isn't even an exception. The debugger just does weird stuff.
Here is the code where it doesn't work (Its a method inside of a ILaunchShortcut implementation):
public void launch(IFile file) {
    MessageConsoleStream out = findConsole(CONSOLE_NAME).newMessageStream();
    try {
        provider.connect(file);
        IDocument document = provider.getDocument(file);
        String queryString = document.get();
        provider.disconnect(file);
        out.println(queryString);
        Query query = QueryFactory.create(queryString);
        // provider.disconnect(file);
        QueryExecution qexec = QueryExecutionFactory.sparqlService(
                "http://dbpedia.org/sparql", query);
        switch (query.getQueryType()) {
        case (Query.QueryTypeSelect): {
            ResultSet results = qexec.execSelect();
            ResultSetFormatter.out(out, results);
            break;
        }
        default:
            return;
        }
    } catch (CoreException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

On the statement Query query = QueryFactory.create(queryString); the debugger goes into the class "EventTable.class" and does weird stuff. And then ends up in a loop of "org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine". I don't know why and what is happening.
I just found out that there is some kind of error handling going on. The error says:"parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider for class javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory cannot be created"

A: After some research on the web I found out, that i had to add the javax.xml bundle to the dependencies of my Jena Wrapper plugin projec. It now works fine.


If you missed it, don't worry you can celebrate May 25 too because drinking vino needed more than one holiday.
It's very appropriate to cheers this beloved holiday with the one and only Olivia Pope, wine connoisseur extraordinaire. Random fact about me: I am a certified food and wine pairing expert. And no that was not a self declared title…I took a test. One of the many great things I picked up abroad. Getting to drink two glasses of wine AND cook a gourmet meal each class made it by far the best class I've ever taken (no offense Gary & The Branding of Me).
Before living in Italy I couldn't tell the difference between a $5 bottle of Barefoot and a nice bottle of chardonnay. After drinking my way around Europe, I have [semi-unfortunately] refined my palette. If you're a citrus crisp flavor enthusiast I highly recommend trying a sauvignon blanc.
Cheers to Shondaland and National Drink Wine Day.

At last October's New York City Comic Con it was revealed that Scott Snyder (Batman, American Vampire) and Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus) were working on a new miniseries entitled "The Wake." It's been nearly three and a half months and we're now getting more details on the series, including a synopsis, date and the official cover to the first issue.
The release date for "The Wake" #1 (of 10) will be May 1st.
What are your thoughts on the series? Are you excited for it? What do you think of the combination of Snyder and Murphy? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
This looks awesome. I'll be reading it for sure.
Really excited for this series. Should be a great one.
This looks like my digs. I'm all over it.
Definitely. With Snyder on board I knew it was going to be good but when you add Sean Murphy, whose Punk Rock Jesus was one of the best things released last year, and make it a horror comic, I was sold from the get go. Definitely one of my most anticipated comics of this year.
Punk Rock Jesus was definitely on my top 5 list from last year – so The Wake is now on my radar and looking forward to it.

Len is a writer who lives in Brooklyn, New York and has had a fascination with games and media that has lasted a lifetime.
Traditionally, gamers haven't always been the most accepting bunch. Sure, you'll find plenty of open-minded folks who are hardcore gamers, but it doesn't take long to find out that an extremely vocal section of the video game fandom isn't always very accepting of the LGBT population. Spend twenty minutes in Call of Duty and you'll probably be called several varieties of anti-homosexual slurs before the first match even ends.
That's why it is so noteworthy when developers include LGBT characters in their video games. Already underrepresented in most forms of media, queer video game characters are the rarest of the rare. The testosterone-driven fanbase just isn't into man-on-man action. Defying convention, here are a few of the openly gay characters to be found in video games.
And before you ask, this is only a list of characters you can play, so no Gay Tony.
Joachim from Shadow Hearts 2 (not pictured: his magical butterfly superhero mask)
Joachim (Shadow Hearts 2)
Shadow Hearts 2 (SH2) was pretty out there. Among the playable characters that would join your party in this PS2 RPG were a magical wolf, Russian princess Anastasia, and an old man who uses puppets to kill enemies. But the most remarkable of all of them was Joachim, a gay wrestler/vampire/super hero. SH2 makes it fairly clear early on that Joachim is willing to take a walk on the wild side.
One of the most openly gay video game characters, there is even a major sidequest that ends with Joachim having a homosexual encounter with his Turkish wrestling teacher. Although the game is fairly progressive, that doesn't stop the other characters from reacting with disgust.
Joachim isn't the only gay character in this game, either. A pair of gay shopkeepers will trade you new dresses for your magical doll in exchange for gay pornography. Shadow Hearts 2 is amazing.
"Shadow Hearts 2": The Man Festival
Zevran and Leliana (Dragon Age Origins)
Okay, technically they're both bisexual. Bioware has done a good job of including LGBT characters in their games. In the original Mass Effect, female players were able to enter into a lesbian relationship with one of the NPCs. However, plans to include a male/male option were dropped due to a perceived lack of interest in the gaming community.
Not so in Dragon Age. Male players could chat up the sexually promiscuous elf Zevran while ladies could find comfort in the arms of bard-turned-nun Leliana. Dragon Age is remarkable in that it doesn't shy away from the bedroom portion of relationships, either. Whether gay or straight, the game is willing to show lovemaking scenes without turning its head.
Little is known about what direction Dragon Age 2 will take in regards to character romances, but the first game in the series is remarkable for including such strong gay and lesbian game characters.
Of course, since you can enter into a relationship with either of them, your own main character could be gay as well. But since that is entirely dependent on how you play the game, we'll just let instances of incidental homosexuality from PC's slide.
Kanji: Pretty much definitely gay, don't fight me on this
Kanji (Persona 4)
In Persona 4, all of the characters end up exploring dark dungeon versions of what they really are on the inside. Some are warped versions of children's fantasies, others bizarre romantic dreams, and then... there's Kanji. A local tough and a bully, when you visit Kanji's inner world, you'd expect to find something violent, maybe something about a brutal childhood.
What you actually find is a gay bathhouse. While inside his this world of his own creation, Kanji becomes a bit of a prancing pony. He openly extols the virtues of gay sex several times and is pretty much a walking, talking stereotype.
Some fans will read into the scene that it is just a reflection of his fear over being emasculated for liking arts and crafts, but there are other hints in the game. He's scared and intrigued when male characters ask to meet him alone. He has an odd sleepover with the main character. This and other signs seem to point to Kanji's subtext being just plain text.
Kanji is one of the most unique homosexual video game characters ever. He's tough, brash, and his sexuality is actually very important to the storyline. He's ambiguous enough that he won't offend overt bigots but obvious enough that he's not fooling anybody except himself.
Kanji Is Not Subtle
Rain and Hana (Fear Effect 2)
This one is going way back. Fear Effect 2 is an early PS1-era action game. At the time, it was announced that the saucy leading lady would be getting a lesbian love interest. At the time, it was all the talk. Today, it is mostly a yawner.
The relationship was aimed mainly towards male titillation rather than making any real attempt at inclusiveness. Still, it is probably one of the earliest examples of an out homosexual character in a mainstream video game.
Zangief Wrestles Bears. Unclear whether they also wear leather.
Zangeif (Street Fighter Series)
In Japanese culture, the American conception of masculinity is their version of flaming queens. Big muscles and hairy chests? Super queer. Wrestling? Gayest of the gay.
So, it comes as no surprise that Street Fighter's Zangief is intended to be homosexual. Capcom has, in the past, even stated that it was their intention that Zangief is a representative of the gay community in video games.
They have since backed off that statement, giving him a few female love interests which have never really stuck. Through it all, he's remained the same giant Russian bear wrestler (*COUGH*) who just loves pile driving the world warriors between his thighs.
Games Where YOU'RE Gay (Sometimes)
A number of games also allow players to engage in same-sex relationships. These are only choices and these games always feature the option to play as a heterosexual character as well. In addition to the aforementioned Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles, here are a few games where your lead character can be gay.
Bully: Bully raised a bit of a commotion when the mainstream media found out that your character could make out with boys AND girls if he was so inclined. It was a major scuttlebutt at the time, but not actually important to the game. Who you make out with doesn't actually affect the storyline in any significant way.
The Sims Series: Anyone can make out with anyone in The Sims. Even more important, gay video game characters can get married in this popular series. No one seems to comment on it, either, so it seems like homophobia is dead in this video game universe, at least.
Fallout 2: Not only can your male character get involved with another male character in Fallout 2, but you can also get married. Unlike other video games, however, other characters will acknowledge your sexual orientation. And, unfortunately, like real life, most of these interactions will be negative.
Fable: Another sandbox game where you can marry just about anyone you choose, male or female. There are plenty of gay and lesbian game relationships to peruse in this game. Once again, the actual sexuality of your characters will never be addressed by anyone in the game. It is simply something that provides the player with more options.

Very interesting Hub! And my mother always gets confused when she's playing Sims 3 and sees two Sims (whether they're her own or neighbors) of the same sex flirting with each other. It's hilarious she hasn't gotten the idea yet.
I actually had no idea about Zangief.. he was one of my favorite characters to play in Street Fighter! For some reason, this just makes him more awesome. Haha. An excellent read, to be sure.
LGBT themes... do not forget the T counts too!
Examples of transgender characters in games includes Birdo from the Super Mario Series, Vivian the ghost from Paper Mario, and Poison from Final Fight and Street Fighter.
What a great hub. I had no idea these themes existed in so many games. :D Tagging as "Awesome". Thanks!

I absolutely love this hub! I never realized that about Zangief, but looking at the list gave me second thoughts. Also in the movie "Wreck-it Ralph," he talks a LOT about crushing heads between his thighs in the "Bad Anon" scene...

Great hub. Generally when an openly gay character is introduced in a game if he is male he appears very stereotypical e.g. Bernie Crane from GTA IV, the Minister of Culture's love interest in Deus Ex 2, the male romance option in Fable.
I would like to see more gay characters that resemble real-life gay people, i.e. they look and act like everyone else except for their taste in romance.

I love the Sims and Fable. Both places I had same sex relationships. I haven't tried any of the other games, but my partner will be interested in them I am sure. :) Thanks for sharing. I was unaware that there were so rarely GBLT people in video games.

Shadow Hearts 2 was one of the best games of all time and Joachim was funny as hell. But you forgot to mention that his Super Hero persona is named Grand Papillon. Papillon is french for Butterfly and he wears a freakin' butterfly mask.
Hey, I'm all for Variety. Different people is what makes the world interesting. Goes to reason if you fill up a video game with a bunch of people with the same personalities, it's going to be a little less entertaining.

Michael Bostwick is open minded about his role at Lincoln City after being persuaded to drop into League Two by the club's ambition.
Bostwick, who can operate in the centre of midfield and defence, has joined the Imps for an undisclosed fee on a two-year from League One from Peterborough United.
The move is one of the most eye-catching lower league transfers of the summer. Bostwick is Peterborough's reigning player of the season and many Posh fans were dismayed to see the 29-year-old leave the ABAX Stadium.
Blackburn Rovers, who were relegated from the Championship last season, made an offer for Bostwick, who has also been linked with League One champions Sheffield United.
Where does Cowley need to strengthen?
Bostwick turned down Blackburn as he wanted to stay close to his family home in south Lincolnshire.
He is also excited by the club's ambition and the calibre of manager Danny Cowley's summer signings.
Bostwick played in defence for Peterborough last season but was deployed in midfield on his debut against Posh on Saturday. He insists he doesn't mind where he plays.
"We've had a few chats [with Cowley] but I'm comfortable in either position," he said. "I played in central midfield on Saturday and enjoyed it. But I'm happy wherever I play, as long as I'm playing.
"I'll give 100 per cent every week. Every time I wear that shirt I'll give it everything I've got. I'll tackle, head, whatever I can to help us win games.
Cowley admitted he was genuinely surprised to snare Bostwick, who arrived along with winger Harry Anderson.
"Michael is a real fighter," said Cowley. "He's fiercely competitive and will fit right into the group. He'll give us some steel.
"I'm delighted to sign a player of his quality. Not much surprises me in football but the fact he was available and the fact we got him for the price we did, did surprise me. It's great value for the club.
"We asked about him earlier in the summer but he'd had clubs like Blackburn Rovers after him at that stage so we didn't think it was realistic.
"But he lives locally and I think he also saw the ambition of the club. Living locally is good in terms of the geography of course but it also means you can see what the buzz is like around this place at the moment.


Is there anything you'd like to say to those Contractors who might think they WON'T benefit from a system like ContractorOS or they already have a website and don't see the value?
– I'd like to ask them if they're completely satisfied with how they're managing their business and customers right now.
– If they'd like to automate more of their business and make more sales.
– If they'd like to reduce a lot of the mundane, repetitive tasks and paperwork every day so they can spend more time with their family and not let their business run them, but instead run their business on their terms.
– If they're completely confident that their website is not only the best first impression they could offer their customers but it's also working HARD for them as an aggressive sales person pulling in leads and sales automatically even while they're focused on other tasks during the day.
– If they ever cringe when they think about someone visiting their website hoping they don't judge a book by its cover – I've been there and that's not a good feeling!
– And finally… If they want more customer referrals which equals MORE MONEY in their pocket because they're continually impressing the hell out of every customer they do business with and the referrals just start piling in. That's what ContractorOS can do for a contracting business – and what it can do for their business!

I recall Kub putting it into the wall once (pit wall maybe...minimal damage). Rus...twice I think. However, I could be wrong on those figures...but the 2 drivers have been quite adroit at bringing their cars home.
What is more disconcerting to me, especially at the beginning of the season, was the frequency that bits and pieces of the car would literally break and then fly off when driven at speed...obvious that the car was in no way ready for either Barcelona or the 2019 season. For Williams to come out now and openly state they have to stop racing in the middle of a race to conserve parts is even more troubling. I would assume that if a new team that stated they had enough parts for the first 75% of the season and that the balance was a guess...said team would not be approved for the season.
As a lifelong Williams fan, I still am left wondering if this is a CW of a PL blame issue (likely a bit of both). I hope they can turn it around, but recent financials seem to indicate a more bleak picture.
Thru the end of the year...maybe?
Thru the 2020 season...one can only hope.

They didn't want KUB'S brakes to fail and put him, his car and it's parts to break, what is so hard to understand?
KUB has absolutely crashed more than RUS, this is not in question and has nothing to do with DNF. Crashes happen in practice, but they still destroy parts.
Unbelievable, how You got so much wrong. Kubica has been given scrap from get go - for first 5 or 6 races he was driving a broken chassis - which btw got broken by Rus on the preseason testing. He had a minor incidents, true, some of them his mistakes some actually Williams fault, like when his mirrors flew away, or bits of front wing fell off on its own and punctured the tire...
Fact is, Williams sadly only had resources for one car and they put a bet on Russel, leaving Robert with what was left. Claire herself admited recently just that. Going by this routine, they called Robert in to salvage what was usable from his car and put it into George's car and Robert will be given what they'll manage to come by with for next race weekend. It really is pretty obvious. They could pretend it was a safety concern, but didn't even bother to lie, as they don't give a s..t anymore if they convince more people like You with their "equal treatment" farce.
One more thing, If You look up closely at George's onboard, You'll notice there was no evident hardware failure (bigger than this years Williams car, of course). Steering looks like it's working, brakes are working (You could make such assumption, with the amount of smoke from locked front left tire) He simply made a mistake on a cold tire. Happened to every driver at some point, I guess. Why bother to lie on this one?

to me it seems like the brake locks in place (left side) or the right side failed to do anything which made him keep his foot on the brake to try and slow it down. either way or both he wasn't going to make a left turn with no left grip and potentally only one brake working. if it was just dirver error he would have let off the pedal and regained grip after missing the corner. unless he had a bit of a brain fart but radio seems to suggest something went wrong unless he is very good at making excuses

We are standing on the shoulders of Giants. So watch your feet.
Footage from different angle might support Your version, that he had uneven break balance or left side locked in place. Notice though, that George has been switching switches and pressing buttons right at the break zone, maybe the breaks got crazy being tuned while used or George put them terribly off balance by mistake? Unfortunately I couldn't find a video from behind or with telemetry, to see what was the input on break pedal.
Edit: @Big Tea which one? left or right?

Save parts from a possible crash due to malfunctioning brakes, it's not hard at all, it makes perfect sense. Both cars are the same, if one malfunctions with a brake failure that causes a crash, then the chances of the other one doing the same are higher than they are willing to risk. The team did not want to risk having both cars in the wall due to the same malfunction.
What is so hard for you to understand?

That video explicitly shows right front brake failure. The left front is locked up while the right front rotates freely.
for me the bigger issue should be that for some reason russel is concered with the speed of gasley like why george you don't have a chance mate
##addition
wonder if there is any clasuse in russels contract via Merc that he must at least enter every race for the team otherwise they get less good of a discount on the engines. sort of a way to insure their young driver actually gets race time. maybe williams hand is being played for them Russels contract could easily say something like he must have equal or better parts than his teamate. equalling only enough parts for one car means russell gets them by default.
but williams could have easily avoided this storm by just saying we pulled robert over concerns after what happend to george. no one would have botherd

I know you are fan of conspiracy theories, but before you write your assumptions you should also check some facts!
George didn't make any mistake and his right disc (or even suspension) failed...from this HD video (from 23:15 onwards) you can clearly see sparks flying from Russell's right wheel! After that he just slammed on the brakes and that's why his left tire locked...
From this perspective (disc or suspension failure) it was also the right decision from the team to stop Kubica...I agree that Williams should use different wording (safety reason) for Kubica's stop, but it is what it is.

We opted to retire Robert in order to conserve parts ahead of the intense flyaway races which end the season," revealed Willliams senior race engineer Dave Robson
https://formulaspy.com/f1/williams-reti ... arts-64907
A statement from the team later said that they were investigating the cause of Russell's retirement from the race, while Kubica was retired out of a desire to conserve parts 'as we were not in contention for a points finish'.
nothing to do with supposed brake failure, which YOU claim you know, but the team itselfs claims OTHERWISE.

https://www.planetf1.com/f1-races/russi ... etirement/
The Williams driver was enjoying a solid race when he crashed under the Virtual Safety Car with a mechanical fault, bringing out a full Safety Car and ending his race.
"To be honest we don't really know what the issue was," Russell said to reporters in the paddock.
"I just went into the corner and the whole car just bottomed out, so I couldn't turn and just went straight on into the wall.
"We don't know if something went under the car or if it was the front wing or if something broke, but yeah we'll look into it."
if you actually look into this video
https://www.formula1.com/en/video/2019/ ... y_Car.html
you will see there's much more than a lockup. you can see sparks flying from the front and indeed the car bottoming out. a car bottoming out will certainly cause a lock up, that does NOT mean it's a brake failure, even though it looked a bit like that at first.
you can stand by your faultive point as much as you want, have fun in being wrong. the team themselves mentioned the issue and have never mentioned it as brake failure. if it was that, they would have said that. they didn't.
if they would have retired robert's car because of a lingering brake failure, they would have mentioned that. THEY DIDNT.
what they did mention has been repeated a thousand times by now to you and in this very post. that they conserve parts because they're cheap and have huge financial problems and are shafting Kubica and handing his parts to George, as has been done the entire year, really.
again, what's so hard to understand the literal statements of the team and drivers?

So Williams retires Kubica from Russian GP, to essentially save money. There was no real safety issue, and given Kubica's 100% finish record there was no unusual or unreasonable risk of him having a major accident that writes off lots of parts.
Now his sponsor is asking: If we bought Kubica a seat fair and square and we've paid our bills, then can Williams just choose to withdraw him in the middle of a race to save their money? Are Williams then fulfilling the contract? Seems fair question.

Keeping an F1 team running through bad times is an ugly process. Remember Kaltenborn at Sauber and her 3 contracted race drivers?-- Bluntly unfair and unethical in the short term, but realistically kept Sauber going in the long term.

Williams are in danger of digging themselves into a hole with potential sponsors. Sponsors do not expect a team to retire a healthy car from a race.

Under the dark imperialist cloud of France's occupation of Southeast Asia arose a silver-lined sandwich: the bánh mì.
Within the crusty confines of a deliciously simple French baguette, other French staples like butter and pâté became wedded with much livelier ingredients such as cilantro, cucumber, jalapeño, pickled carrots and daikon to create a harmonious marriage of flavors: a meld of rich, savory, vibrant and spicy.
More than half a century later, it's a tradition that's alive and well at the corner of Lincoln Boulevard and Rose Avenue. A busy corner for half the day and a proverbial parking lot the rest of the time, this busy traffic corridor is as good a place as any to open up a sandwich shop.
Enter Bánh Mì, which is very hard to miss in one-mile-per-hour traffic.
Bánh Mì, as you may have guessed, serves bánh mì. The name is certainly on the nose, which is just as well for a sandwich that is underappreciated in the cultural mainstream and underrepresented here on the Westside. There isn't much in the realm of Vietnamese eating in this part of L.A., which makes Bánh Mì a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Bánh Mì keeps the menu simple, yet there is enough variety to represent everyone's' favorite animals to eat.
The Oink Mì offers caramelized pork belly, reduced shallots and a pâté spread.
The Moo Mì combines braised short rib with mortar-pounded chili paste, lime, lemongrass, ginger and a chili-mayo sauce.
There are two takes on chicken. One is braised in kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, ginger, chili and chili-mayo. The other boasts chicken simmered in curry and coconut milk and served with carrots, sweet and gold potatoes, lemon grass and lime.
Two veggie varieties pair tofu with either roasted chilies or curry-simmered vegetables.
There's also a fish sandwich of lingcod braised with turmeric and dill, yogurt, spring onion, bean sprouts and lemon juice, and a breakfast Bánh Mì with fried eggs called the Wake Mì.
Every sandwich is topped with a bouquet of pickled daikon, carrots, cucumber, fresh cilantro, jalapeño and a country pâté spread or chili mayo. While the pâté is very subtle, sandwiches with the chili mayo indeed have discernible kick. All of the sandwiches yield a nice balance of meats to veggies, but the bigger flavored proteins — the short rib and pork belly, especially — really pair well with the aromatic and pickled vegetables.
There are many variations of the bánh mì, and just as many interpretations of what makes an ideal one. The sandwiches here are a departure from what some would consider a traditional bánh mì, but in a way that raises the bar.
Chả Lụa, often the featured ingredient in other bánh mì, is a pork loaf typically made of mystery meat. There is, however, great affection for the meaty loaf — perhaps the same way Hawaiians honor Spam — and that's why $3 has become the price point for most bánh mì, similar to the $1 street taco.
Bánh Mì's bánh mìs range from $8 to $13 — far more than $3, but a trade-off for quality in a community that's willing to spend that kind of cash for a lesser sandwich elsewhere.
Indeed, the bánh mì bar has been raised, but one thing that remains constant is the expectation for copious amounts of heat. Vietnamese cuisine tends to be very spicy, and the braised short rib bánh mì does not hold back on the chili paste. Since sliced jalapeños come standard on every sandwich, so there is a certain level of fire for all.
While a sandwich can be sized up from meat to veggies to accouterments, in the end it's all about the bread.
Bánh Mì has a pretty simple formula that seems to work. The restaurant buys partly baked baguettes from a local bakery, finishes the baking in house and scoops out some of the inside before serving — like you would for a New Orleans po'boy.
The result is a bánh mì that is not at all bready — warm and crisp, but not cut-the-roof-of-your mouth crusty. It's also a sandwich best enjoyed in house, otherwise you run the risk of a heartier fillings such as the curry chicken and vegetables breaking up the integrity of the sandwich.
But you'll certainly want to dine in. Bánh Mì is a charming space adorned with flourishes of the motherland and a welcome refuge from the frenzied traffic outside.
My favorite item from the shop is the Spring roll, which you did not mention. Instead of the the usual plum sauce, it comes with an almond based sauce which is delicious. They are made to order and consequently are always very fresh.You haven't mentioned the charming owner , Heidi who herself is Vietnamese so you are getting the real thing with a touch of California cuisine thrown in.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is typical: it has hundreds of billions of stars, enough gas and dust to make billions more stars, and at least ten times as much dark matter as all the stars and gas put together. And it's all held together by gravity.
The Milky Way at 5000 Meters
Like more than two-thirds of the known galaxies, the Milky Way has a spiral shape. At the centre of the spiral, a lot of energy and, occasionally, vivid flares are being generated. Based on the immense gravity that would be required explain the movement of stars and the energy expelled, the astronomers conclude that the centre of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole.
Other galaxies have elliptical shapes, and a few have unusual shapes like toothpicks or rings. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) shows this diversity. Hubble observed a tiny patch of sky (one-tenth the diameter of the moon) for one million seconds (11.6 days) and found approximately 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colours. From the ground, we see very little in this spot, which is in the constellation Fornax.
After the Big Bang, the Universe was composed of radiation and subatomic particles. What happened next is up for debate – did small particles slowly team up and gradually form stars, star clusters, and eventually galaxies? Or did the Universe first organize as immense clumps of matter that later subdivided into galaxies?
Hubble's High-Definition Panoramic View of the Andromeda Galaxy
The shapes of galaxies are influenced by their neighbours, and, often, galaxies collide. The Milky Way is itself on a collision course with our nearest neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy. Even though it is the same age as the Milky Way, Hubble observations reveal that the stars in Andromeda's halo are much younger than those in the Milky Way. From this and other evidence, astronomers infer that Andromeda has already smashed into at least one and maybe several other galaxies.

Motor racing-Frijns is Formula E's eighth different winner in eight races
PARIS, April 27 (Reuters) - Dutch driver Robin Frijns won a rainsoaked Paris E-Prix on Saturday to become the all-electric Formula E series's eighth different winner in eight races this season and seize the overall lead.
The 27-year-old, competing for the Virgin Racing team and starting third on the grid, was the first winner from the Netherlands in the five-season history of Formula E.
He was joined on the podium by Germans Andre Lotterer, for DS Techeetah, and Daniel Abt for Audi.
Frijns now has 81 points to Lotterer's 80, with five rounds remaining. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Clare Fallon)

An open letter to the BeyHive | The Triangle
An open letter to the BeyHive
By Sharice Maxwell
Youtube: David Counce
Dear BeyHive,
I understand that you're disappointed and angered. After all, you were waiting for an aftertaste of sweetness when your Queen B released "Lemonade" for the world to hear. Instead, you tasted a confusing mixture of sweet and sour news, as you explored the lyrics of Beyonce's album. The sour news that Beyonce alluded to was that her husband Jay Z had an affair with "Becky with the Good Hair." It's okay to be upset by this news; infidelity is an infuriating and unfortunate situation.
What I can't fathom is why some people in your hive decided to attack Rachel Roy. Yes, she commented "Good hair don't care…" under one of her Instagram pictures, but neither Beyonce nor Jay Z have confirmed that Rachel Roy is Becky, so you have no grounds or reason to attack her based on the correlation between her comments and the lyrics of "Sorry." There's also no need to comment under her pictures with "bee" and "lemon" emojis; I guess the Queen is supplying you with great music, so you feel inclined to help her get even with Becky.
Since you've already attacked Rachel Roy, I hope you realize that some of your comments to her were malicious and despicable. Perhaps, overwhelmed and concerned by the threats to her life and the comments about her appearance, Rachel Roy tweeted, "I respect love, marriages, families and strength. What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind."
She's right, BeyHive. Bullying is a serious issue; it affects the emotional and mental health of the victims. Bullies also contribute to the low-self esteem and embarrassment that their victims experience. Stans, please, don't be bullies. You're a stan because you become emotionally invested in Beyonce's problems but please recognize that your actions may result in negative consequences and harmful effects.
This situation is all too familiar, where fans of a public figure attack the mistress. We saw it as people attacked and slandered Monica Lewinsky throughout Bill Clinton's presidency and continue to, to this day. Stans, just because you feel personally wronged by the mistress that supposedly "took" Jay Z away from Beyonce for some time, doesn't mean that that you have the right to attack her. One question stans: Are you saying anything to Jay Z? Are you holding him personally accountable for his actions in the affair the Beyonce alluded to? Or is it all Becky's fault?
Since Jay Z was the one in a committed relationship and thus, the one with the responsibility to honor his vows, why must the "hive" or society go after Rachel Roy? Is it, perhaps, the consequence of living in a patriarchal and at times misogynistic society, which has subconsciously made us and taught us to always hate the "other woman"? Beyhive, I am not encouraging you to mention Jay Z on Twitter and to persecute him for his infidelity. That's pointless as well. Just remember to place the blame where it's due and place it equally for everyone involved.
Also, you can't say that Rachel Roy summoned the "BeyHive," with her Instagram comment and asked to be attacked. She didn't ask to be attacked, just like people don't ask to be shot or harmed by others. Yes, I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but I hope you realize that people don't ask to be bullied. Maybe Rachel Roy asked for the publicity, which she received; but I'm sure she didn't ask for fans to threaten her or her children.
BeyHive, I encourage you to enjoy the music, to cry with Queen B and to sing along to "Hold Up" and the other masterpieces on the album, but please – do NOT bully others.
Kinda a fan (even though Bey snatched my edges in 2013 with Beyonce)


Eli on holiday in the UK.
When you're using cloth nappies full-time going on holiday – or any extended stay away from home – means a decision is to be made, do the nappies stay or do they go? I've been away twice with Eli, once on a 5 day family holiday in the UK and soon after to South Africa for two weeks when my father passed away suddenly whilst on holiday there with my Mum.
Obviously these were two completely different types of trips but whether or not to take my cloth nappies with me was definitely a consideration both times.
For our holiday in the UK the choice wasn't too hard: we were only going for 5 days and I knew I had enough nappies even though we didn't have access to a washing machine. As we were travelling by car we had enough space to pack our full complement of nappies. The only issue was where to store the dirty nappies – a nappy bucket wasn't an option so we needed a good-sized wet bag (or two) which would zip shut to keep any smells contained. After a bit of research I found a set of Bum Deal wet bags which did the job brilliantly. It was great, no need to buy disposables and all I had to do was to put the nappy wash on as soon as we got home.
Eli at my Mum's house in South Africa.
Travelling to South Africa was a bit different. It was an unplanned trip (obviously) and organising an emergency passport for Eli and sorting last minute plane tickets were immediate considerations. Whether or not to pack cloth nappies was a consideration though once everything else was sorted. I didn't do it though, I bought two weeks worth of eco-disposables (not something easily available in SA) and it was okay. If I had to do it again though I would do it differently. Firstly as I stayed at my brother's flat and my Mum's house washing wouldn't have been an issue. Secondly the weather in SA would have meant nice and easy nappy drying as well.
So, if you're flying and packing space is at a premium and weight is an issue, what nappies could you take? I probably wouldn't bother taking night nappies – a few disposables would be a lot easier to pack than a bulky two-part nappy. I wouldn't take many (if any) of my all-in-one nappies as they're fairly bulky too. That leaves my gNappies, which, thinking about it now – now I'm not stressing about supporting Mum and finding appropriate clothes for Eli to wear to a funeral – would have been the perfect choice. I've never used gRefills (the disposable inserts for the nappies) but the hybrid nature of the nappies would have been really useful. Taking all my gCloth (cloth inserts) along with a few packs of gRefills would have been possible (I managed to take a few packs of disposable nappies after all) and I could have used a mix of both depending which was more appropriate at the time. Disposable inserts for the plane and long car journeys and cloth whenever possible.
So, on reflection, whilst travelling abroad with cloth nappies seemed really difficult at the time, a hybrid system would have been perfect. Most of the benefits of full-time cloth but also the steady freeing up of space (for presents and suchlike) that using up disposables resulted in. Plus, using the cloth would have meant not as much money needing to be spent on the disposables – pleasing the skinflint in me – or too much heading to landfill – keeping the eco side of me happy.
Throughout the year Tilly asks us "Is it summer now?" and for the quarter of the year where the answer is yes (regardless of the actual weather) her next question is always "Can we go to the beach?". As we don't really live too close to beaches that we (grown-ups) particularly like – I grew up in South Africa, beaches to me should be primarily white sand, not pebbles, mud or whatever else tries to pass for a beach on this island – to answer yes to the second question requires a good weather forecast and an early morning lest we spend too much time fighting for parking.
So last night, with a great forecast for today and an agreement to forgo a lie-in this morning, we decided that today would be our beach day. Despite Eli's attempts to prevent us having any sleep last night, R managed to make the sandwiches and I managed to get out of bed and together we were all out of the door by 8.30 for the journey to the sea.
It was a lovely day. Eli touched sand and sea for the first time (not too impressed with either but began to enjoy the sand eventually). The big kids dug holes, built castles, splashed and ran in the sea. We visited the pier and the town and ate packed lunches and bought ice-creams.
Now we're home, kids are washed and in bed and R. has headed to the local 7-11 to buy cake. Absolutely brilliant day.
Sunday was a fun day at Grandma's – all the cousins (with Tilly missing) had a great time. Lex and his same age step-cousin T discovered they both are big Lego Ninjago fans – all the better to break the ice when you haven't seen each other for a year. A game of boules kept the boys entertained in the garden, complete with a measuring tape to check distances and action replay on the camcorder (although they never figured out if T's ball brushed or not). Finally a game of football in the park and a few runs around the obstacle course completed the day. Lex had a brilliant time but was so tired he was sobbing through most of the bedtime routine. Eli was ok when he was with me, sadly summer events (and lots of people who would like a cuddle with him) and 'stranger' and separation anxiety have arrived hand in hand at the same time.
Today SIL and the local cousins came to visit for the afternoon. A trip to ELC after our family dentist appointment yielded a new paddling pool with a shaded area, sprayer and slide which (after I finally worked out how to get the air bed inflater to work) wasn't too bad to inflate and fill. This, plus the water play table and SIL's paddling pool enabled us to sit and watch whilst the kids had a great time.
Well, the big kids at least. Eli clearly isn't feeling 100% and was not impressed by the padding pool, being wet, the grass – pretty much everything. He cheered up at points but really just wanted to have an afternoon of cuddles poor dot. Currently he is in bed but waking up every half-hour or so needing another feed to settle him. The air-con is on so he won't be too hot at least.
The only hope now is that this won't be the single decent week during the summer holidays – looks like it'll change by the weekend sadly.
Now, off to settle the baby once more.
Today was the last day of the 2011/2012 school year. Lex, Eli and I enjoyed the school summer picnic out on the field and took a leisurely stroll home after lunch. Lex then went around to have a water fight with friends who live around the corner.
I think he is relieved that school is finished for summer – the poor kid has a cough that he just can't shift and is constantly shattered. We've bought him a children's multivitimin to see if we can help him feel better. If the cough doesn't clear up in a few days I think I'll be taking him to the doctor just to check what's up.
Here is Lex the year before – he's grown up so much since the start of reception!
Today was also Tilly's last day of nursery. She started in the baby room just before she turned 11 months old (September 2008) and is finishing (after moving through each of their four rooms) at 4 years 9 months so she's been there for almost 4 years! I'm really sad that she's finished as we've been really happy with the nursery and will miss it. Eli is unlikely to ever attend there as it will probably be much easier to send him to the pre-school attached to the children's centre next to the kids' school. We gave them a thank you card and two boxes of chocolates – I'll take Tilly back on her first day of school so that she can show everybody her school uniform.
Finally we have Eli at the start and end of the school year – it's hard to believe that this time last year I was very pregnant and still 5 weeks away from meeting my gorgeous little boy.


It was only a few years ago that the prophets of doom were predicting the end for the Scottish ski industry, amid financial chaos and talk of global warming.
But hard on the heels of an exceptional season for the Glenshee Ski Centre north of Blairgowrie, the runs are in superb condition and set to lure skiers for months to come.
The initiative coaches a new generation of skiers in all aspects of mountain skiing, which can pave the way towards race training or instructing.
It is organised by Blairgowrie, Aberdeen, Braemar and Dundee Ski Clubs in association with the Glenshee Ski Centre.
A spokesman said: "The training is envisaged as a 'back to basics' programme and it is open to members of any ski club affiliated to Snowsport Scotland.
Applicants should be able to use the lifts, and have a desire to ski fast while under control.
The principle aim of the programme is to take young skiers to a level past Ski School.
For first season applicants it is seen as a stepping stone towards competitive ski racing or freestyle skiing.
Alternatively it could provide a youngster with an early route towards becoming a ski instructor.
At the same time, trainees will enjoy the benefits of participating in outdoor physical exercise and have great fun in the mountains.
Over the summer, members of the four clubs accessing the Glenshee slopes were involved in the renovation and refurbishment of 'The Club Hut' adjacent to the Sunnyside chairlift.
More than 1000 volunteer hours were devoted to the project, which now provides an excellent facility and base for members.
For more information on Blairgowrie Ski Club and The Glenshee Performance Squad contact us using this website or come and see us in the ski hut on Saturday's or Sunday's during the GPS season.

The Shift To Collaborative Analytics
Tom Davenport
For much of their fifty-year lifespan, analytics were "artisanal"—hand-crafted, slow, and expensive to create. The goal was typically to create a report or dashboard using descriptive statistics, although there were occasionally some predictive regression models too. But there was another attribute of artisanal analytics that I have seldom mentioned until now: they were individually-oriented. Like an individual artist or craftsperson, the analytical artisan created analytics for him or herself, perhaps facilitated by a support person. At most a more senior decision-maker might see the results of the analysis—after all, this was the "decision support" period.
But now we are in a new era in which data, analytics, and AI are increasingly considered key organizational assets. They are typically created by teams for teams, and the many producing teams might serve consumer teams that are colleagues, senior executives, customers, suppliers, or an entire ecosystem. Today, for an analytics artisan to create an analytical program for him or herself is considered a waste of value and time. And the highly centralized approach, in which a corporate business intelligence group prepares data, dashboards, and analytics for thousands of users, can be even slower and more expensive.
This shift to "collaborative analytics" has implications for the tools we use, the processes we employ to create and distribute analytics, and the way we organize analytical talent. We need to make it easy to share analytical initiatives and insights throughout, and even outside, our organizations. This trend hasn't been discussed much, so I thought I should talk with some leading analytics companies in order to explore it. Aginity, a software company whose offerings (particularly a set of SQL collaboration products) support collaborative analytics, suggested a couple of likely suspects (the company sponsors some of our work at the ROAI Institute). I already knew the Chief Analytics Officer of a large health insurance company who was focused on this issue—more on him and the company later—but I had not heard of Nick Marr or the company he cofounded, Clear Box Retail.

Collaborative Analytics at Clear Box Retail
Clear Box Retail, a company that mostly operates in the U.K. and Canada—but is moving into the U.S.—was founded on the idea of sharing data and analytics across company boundaries, and doing so rapidly. You are probably familiar with the idea that there are companies like Nielsen and IRI that gather scanner data from supermarkets, organize it into who sold what when, and eventually share it with consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies that sell through that channel. It works fine for comparing firms' market shares long-term, but it takes a long time—sometimes weeks—for the data and analyses to make its way back to the manufacturers. And while it's good to know your market share, the manufacturers often aren't sure what to do about it.
Clear Box provides store-level scanner data—as well as inventory, promotion, shelf space allocation, and sometimes wholesaler data—and shares it with manufacturers. They find out what happened yesterday by 9AM the next day. Clear Box gives them not only descriptive reports but also prescriptive recommendations—"You only sold six boxes of your product in Store 477 yesterday because that's all they had in inventory." The path to action is clear—in that case, get to that store and tell them to reorder quickly.

Clear Box is the ultimate in collaborative analytics. It has to gather data in a variety of formats and make it available in a variety of different formats. It works with retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers, and multiple groups within each type of organization. The company uses a variety of tools to make this possible, including Aginity Premium, Snowflake's cloud warehouse, and Microsoft PowerBI. Some consulting is involved, but the tools are largely self-service. Most of its clients still rely on humans to look at the data, visit some stores, and recommend actions to resolve problems. However, Marr suggests that many of the problem resolution steps can be automated with the right collaborative analytics. For some online retailers like Amazon, they already are to a substantial degree.
For Clear Box customers, it's a perfect storm: data is exploding, resources are declining, and everyone is trying to develop capabilities to keep up. A collaborative analytics partner is just what these companies need.
Collaborative Analytics at a Healthcare Payer
A large healthcare payer is also moving toward collaborative analytics. In its case one of the biggest problems that collaborative analytics can help to address is multiple versions of the truth. The company has many different groups that practice analytics, and they are coming to meetings with different perspectives on what's happening with members, providers, employees, and so forth.
The company's Chief Analytics Officer is investing in a platform to provide "data as a service" for this type of reporting and analysis. He noted, "We have many thousands of employees who are pretty good with data and work with it every day. But they spend 80% of their time pulling the data together, and they should be spending 80% analyzing it. We hope our new platform will solve that problem. But we are also trying to improve their data literacy—we'll have different versions of it for the different user personas, and different tools for them as well. Some will have static dashboards, some dynamic dashboards, and some more sophisticated tools. We of course want to move the majority of them to self-service. Then at some point we hope to move them toward more automated data discovery."
The other situation in which collaborative analytics are necessary, he argued, is when a business group has a high level of analytical skills, and collaboration with the central analytics group is desirable. "Take the actuaries, for example," he pointed out. They have people who are heavily data and insights driven, and they are very hands-on with analyses. If my central analytics group is working with them it's a level of collaboration where you're co-developing, and the lines are blurred between what we do versus what they do. But our collaborative processes aren't well-developed. We need to figure out a way to work with them smoothly as partners."
These data and analytics problems, he argued, have real business implications for the company that are holding back its growth. "We need to hold on to more of our members when they reach 65 and go on Medicaid. We need to influence our members to manage their own health better, and also to influence physicians to provide value-based care. We've done a lot on identifying fraud, waste, and abuse, but we could go further there too. There are just so many opportunities, and it's really important for us to get the right analytics to the right person and not let our data issues get in the way."
Call these issues what you want, but I like the term "collaborative analytics." It signifies that analytics are no longer artisanal, and should be addressed as an activity in which the entire enterprise is engaged. Both Clear Box Retail and the healthcare payer have data and analytics issues that involve collaboration across their company and with customers and suppliers. Giving each individual a spreadsheet or a visual analytics tool, and pointing them to a set of databases, no longer does the job—if it ever did.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Application and OS of them all
The Computer Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) website provides yearly summaries of application and operating systems vulnerabilities. Having a vulnerability is not the same as it actually being exploited, but the figures provide a useful, if somewhat crude way, of identifying what needs protecting and how this compares to 2015.
For anyone that doesn't want to read much further the key points are
Operating systems: Android has the most vulnerabilities, followed by Linux distributions, Mac OSX and then Windows 10. By vendor, Microsoft had the most vulnerabilities.
Applications: Flash has the most vulnerabilities, followed by four other Adobe products and then Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and IE. By vendor, Adobe has the most vulnerabilities
Android is a long way ahead (or should that be behind?) of the others, a big increase from the number of vulnerabilities in 2015. Then comes a number of Linux distributions, Mac OSX, Windows 10, iOS and older versions of Windows. Mac OSX and iOS have fewer vulnerabilities than in 2015, with the number for Windows 10 going up. Probably because its market share increased and more people started looking for vulnerabilities. Ways to protect against vulnerabilities being exploited are
Ways to protect against vulnerabilities being exploited include:
applying OS patches as they become available
using anti-virus and anti-malware tools
being wary of emails from unknown sources and unexpected emails from known sources (email accounts are being taken over and used to send out emails with links to malware or have viruses attached to them)
only using accounts with Administrator privileges when there is a valid need to make/apply updates
For mobile devices, only download apps from the Apple App store or Google play
Viewing these figures by vendor gives a different insight. Microsoft has the most, followed by Redhat and Apple. Both Microsoft and Apple reduced the number compared to 2015, Apple having a larger decrease.
Adobe products hold the top 5 positions. These are followed by Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and IE. Flash has less vulnerabilities compared to 2015, but the number is still very high.
Viewing these figures by vendor gives the expected result. Adobe products way out in front followed by Microsoft, Mozilla and Google. Apple only just makes it to the end of the chart.

Doug Nussmeier says Luke Del Rio 'a little bit ahead' in Gators quarterback competition

The Gators' quarterback competition has attracted a lot of attention this offseason.
Oregon State transfer Luke Del Rio — who was ineligible to play for the Gators last season due to NCAA transfer rules — is competing with Purdue graduate transfer Austin Appleby, and freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask to be Florida's starting quarterback this year.
Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier had some stuff to say to the Palm Beach Post on the Gators' quarterback battle before speaking to the Palm Beach County Gator Club on Tuesday night.
Here's what Nussmeier had to say:
Gators coaches are impressed with the way Del Rio worked and mastered Florida's offense this spring: "The biggest thing is that Luke has really learned to let the offense work for him. He has a really good understanding of what we're doing. Obviously he was in the system before. He's really grasped the system well and he really understands how to let the system work for him. Any time you do something over and over again, obviously you get better."
Better things are expected from Appleby this fall after working in Florida's offense for the first time this spring: "I think Austin had a really good spring and I think he'll continue to make another jump this fall because he just got it for the first time this spring. He did it, had time to digest it, and now he'll get to go back and do it again."
Freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask learned a lot this spring as early enrollees: "Everything is brand new to them, so everything we're teaching them is from phase one. They will make even bigger strides because their learning curve is even steeper. We're very pleased with both Kyle and Feleipe. But I don't want to make any assessments today. It's so early in their development."
Even after throwing three interceptions in the spring game, Nussmeier is encouraged by Franks' growth this spring: "The way society is today, everybody wants instant gratification. They want success right away. I think that's why you see so many quarterbacks really have struggles early and don't do well because expectations are so high for them. I think when you put those kinds of expectations on a kid that's learning something, it makes it very difficult. He has great tools. A lot of the things we're teaching him, it's the first time he's done it. So he's going to get better and better and I really think he has a very, very high ceiling."
Nussmeier admits Del Rio is "a little bit" ahead in the quarterback competition, but said the battle is not over yet: "As coach said, I think (Del Rio) had a really good spring. As coach Mac has said, maybe (Del Rio) is a little bit ahead. But we're going to continue to let these guys compete. Remember, Austin did things for the first time this spring and he's going to come back and be a lot better the second time though. Those guys continue to battle each and every day. Just as a group and the way they pushed each other, I'm excited about all four of those guys."
