Q: 500 error on cloud page - Ampscript not rendered I'm trying to update a field using the _Subscriberkey on CloudPage (Marketing cloud). I don't know the reason why I get an 500 error when I try to publish.
%%[
  var @individualID, @ObjectType, @ObjectRow, @Object, @IsConsent, @IsConsent_Status
  set @subkey = RequestParameter("_subscriberkey")
  set @ObjectType = 'Individual'

  set @Object = RetrieveSalesforceObjects(@ObjectType, 'Consent', "Id", "=", @individualID)
  set @ObjectRow = Row(@Object, 1)
  set @IsConsent = FIELD(@ObjectRow, "Consent")

  if @IsConsent == FALSE then
    set @IsConsent_Status = "True"
  endif

]%%

I'm using a form to send this to a receive page.
<form id="from_unsubscribe" name="from_unsubscribe" action="%%=MicrositeURL(https://...../....)=%%" method="post">

Thanks for help!

This is the full code  on the first page (send page):
%%[
  var @individualID, @ObjectType, @ObjectRow, @Object, @IsConsent, @IsConsent_Status
  set @individualID = RequestParameter("_Subscriberkey")
  set @ObjectType = 'Individual'

  set @Object = RetrieveSalesforceObjects(@ObjectType, 'Consent', "Id", "=", @individualID)

  set @IsConsent = FIELD(@ObjectRow, "Consent")

  if @IsConsent == TRUE then
    set @IsConsent_Status = "False"

And I get the data with this code (on the second page):
%%[
  var @individualID, @ObjectType, @resultIsConsent_Status

  set @individualID = requestparameter("individualID")
  set @ObjectType = RequestParameter("ObjectType")

  set @resultIsConsent_Status = UpdateSingleSalesforceObject(@ObjectType,@individualID,"Consent", "False")

]%%

A: Based off of all the previous answers and comments, I think the issue is that the subscriberKey is not being passed from the email to the first landing page.
In order to pass this information, you have 2 choices:

*

*Utilize the CloudPagesURL() function

*Manually pass the parameter (similar to an HTTPGET)

1 CloudPagesURL()
For CloudPagesURL(), you would need to insert the following inside of your link, instead of the raw URL: .  Notice that there is a RedirectTo() surrounding the CloudPagesURL call - this is to ensure it gets wrapped same as all other links and allows everything to pass through correctly.  The CloudPage ID should be available in the properties section of your page.
This will then allow you to utilize your exact code as the CloudPagesURL passes all associated data that would be passed to your email into your cloud page.
2 Manual Parameters
Your other option is to attach the subscriberKey onto the URL to pass it as a parameter that you can then gather on the Cloud Page.  An example would be:
Then on the page you would replace set @individualID = RequestParameter("_Subscriberkey") with set @individualID = RequestParameter("subkey").
The main issue with this is that it directly and openly passes the PII of the person (subscriberkey - which most of the time it is the email address) inside the URL, leaving it open for anyone to view - which can lead to malicious activity.
If you decide to manually pass it, I would utilize some sort of encryption prior to sending via the URL and then decrypt it on the Cloud Page. See some encryption options here

A: If your using Cloud Pages then you should be using the Cloud Pages URL function.
CloudPages URL

A: Try this:
%%[
  var @individualID, @ObjectType, @ObjectRow, @Object, @IsConsent, @IsConsent_Status
  set @individualID = RequestParameter("_subscriberkey")
  set @ObjectType = 'Individual'

  set @Object = RetrieveSalesforceObjects(@ObjectType, 'Consent', 'Id', '=', @individualID)
  set @ObjectRow = Row(@Object, 1)
  set @IsConsent = FIELD(@ObjectRow, 'Consent')/*you can remove this line because you are retrieving only one column in the row. */

  if @IsConsent == 'FALSE' then /* you need to use quotes for comparing @isConsent value to False */
    set @IsConsent_Status = 'True'
  endif

Making slime is the perfect DIY project for a lazy afternoon at home — or in our case, a very fun day at work! It only takes about 10 minutes to throw together, but it'll last you for over a month if stored properly in an airtight container. You can make it with glitter glue or with regular white glue, and we'll show you a few ways to customize it (including how to make it aromatherapeutic!).
Oh, and make sure to read through each step before you start making the slime! Even though the ingredients are simple, there are a few tricks you need to know to make sure the texture comes out right.
Stir until the borax is completely dissolved. If you let it sit in the water without stirring, it'll harden into a clump.
If you really want to get every last drop out, try using this itty bitty spatula with a long handle!
IMPORTANT NOTE!!! As you start mixing and feel the slime coming together into a pliable mass, pull it out of the water and continue kneading it with your hands (it'll still be super sticky). There will be a good bit of solution left in the bowl, and it's important that you DO NOT try to get it all combined into the glue. The slime will harden from too much exposure to the borax.
It will be sticky and messy at this point, but if you stick with the kneading, you'll end up with perfectly stretchable slime! If you're finding that it needs to solidify a little bit more, dip it back in the remaining borax solution for three seconds and continue kneading.
If you or your kids are sensitive to essential oils or you don't want to get food dye on your hands, we suggest adding these ingredients straight into the glue during step one. Stir them in with a spoon or toothpick before you add the borax and warm-water solution.
STEP 6: Play all day!
Oh, and pro tip: If the slime gets too solid or rubbery, just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time to make it a little more pliable. Just make sure that any added glitter isn't metal-based!

I am honored to have been selected to lead the City into 2016 and beyond, and I am looking forward to working together with the City Council and city staff to serve the citizens of Aberdeen.
2016 will be an exciting year for the City of Aberdeen as we focus on new projects and expanding the foundation that our community needs to grow and prosper. The city is currently working on several projects, the most important of which being the Timberworks project that was started this past December in collaboration with the City of Hoquiam. The Timberworks project has several parts to it and will reduce flood risks and improve the neighborhoods affected by flooding and flood insurance mandates. The project will focus not just on building the structures and utilities needed to protect our neighborhoods from flooding, but also on integrating it to provide community spaces, create recreational opportunities, and enhance fish habitat. The project is expected to remove the majority of homes from the flood plain and is projected to significantly increase property values citywide. This project will be my top priority as much of Aberdeen's future depends on solving the flooding problem.
If you have any ideas for how the City can better serve its residents, please send me an e-mail at mayor@aberdeenwa.gov. City government belongs to the people, and I look forward to serving you for the next four years.

Cheers to chewing quietly and being able to hear who gets the final rose.
As both a loyal member of Bachelor Nation and an avid foodie, I am always thinking about two things: Monday nights at 8 and food. This season of The Bachelor is of course, the most dramatic season yet. With so much drama, you're gonna need a stomach full of tasty food and savory wine to keep you emotionally stable for the whole episode.
So as you sit down every week to get your Nick Viall fix, make sure you and your guests have something to munch on - trust me, it gets intense.
The number one spot goes to, you guessed it, wine. A nice Rosé to be specific. You're right, wine is not often thought of as a "snack," but for Bachelor Nation, wine is its own food group.
Ice cream is the perfect TV snack, no matter what show. It satisfies your sweet tooth while also being quiet enough to let everyone hear the who gets the final rose.
Now this may seem like a bit of an odd choice, but to me, there is nothing better than stuffing my face with sushi rolls while discussing who should get the group date rose.
Chips and dip is the most well known duo as a snack food. Whether you choose queso, french onion, salsa or guac you can't go wrong with this tasty combo. One more thing, make sure you're only chowing down on crunchy chips during commercials.
We all have that one friend who brings their own food because they're on some type of new diet. So maybe have a healthy chex, fruit and nut mix ready for them in advance!
Snuggling next to your bffs and ordering whatever takeout is fastest is always a good decision. Whether Chinese, pizza, sandwiches or wings, sit back, relax, wait for your food to come to the door and most definitely eat it out of the box.
Whoever is hosting the Bachelor viewing party, should whip up some warm, chocolate chip cookies. Cookies are perfect to pass around and you can count on having no leftovers if they're homemade.
Even if you're not feeling heartbroken like one of the contestants who didn't receive a rose, everyone is a sucker for a little box of Valentine's chocolates.
As you're planning your next Bachelor viewing party, I hope these tasty pairs will win over the hearts of your guests. So next week, pour that wine, eat your food, play your drinking games and try not to chew obnoxiously.

Building Connections
By Joanne Joanne Fedeyko
While I now call Silicon Valley home, I grew up on a farm in a small town of just 1,200 people in Northern Alberta. My dad and grandfather were farmers, and my mom prepared all of our meals using mostly meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables that were grown and raised on our farm. To this very day I feel a strong connection to the land we walk on, the air we breathe, the food we eat and, most importantly, the way in which our food is produced. As a child I would look forward to "dining out" as a special treat at KFC, but now I realize how special and valuable it is to be able to eat delicious, nutritious food, and to know where your food comes from.
Today there are thousands of entrepreneurs in the food and agriculture industries who are working to make sure our food supply chains are better for people, the planet, and the economy. Though it's easy to become complacent about the food we eat, where we shop for food, and where we dine out, there are some incredible entrepreneurs working behind the scenes to change what and how we eat in ways that are better for everyone. In this issue we are featuring just some of these talented entrepreneurs and startups that are changing the world with their products and technologies; we feature investors who are funding and advising early-stage startups on their path to growth; and we feature large companies that are continually striving to adopt innovation in order to stay relevant to consumer demands.
As you'll read in these stories, many entrepreneurs in the FoodTech and AgTech spaces are building global businesses with technologies that can benefit markets around the world. We have an abundance of opportunity to feed everyone on the planet with nutritious, affordable food grown in sustainable and ethical ways. Creating a healthy population, environment, and economy should be our number one priority. The only way we can achieve equity in our food industry is with diverse teams with diverse perspectives thinking of solutions to all of the challenges to food supply chains and industries around the world.
To coincide with the launch of this issue of Disruption, I'm excited to announce the new Founded in Canada series. This program is an opportunity for 12 promising Canadian female-led startups to pitch to our network of US investors and receive feedback on their presentation and guidance on their business model. The theme of our first series is AgTech, and I invite all interested founders to apply for this opportunity on cwnsv.com/founded-in-canada.
I believe that an ideal global food system is one in which people have access to quality, affordable food grown and produced in environmentally sustainable ways, using technologies that support local economies and a diverse group of talented individuals. Thanks to the entrepreneurs in this issue, that future is close to being a reality.

Local lockdowns imposed in several cities as UK cases rise
Published: September 25, 2020, 11:33 AM Updated: September 25, 2020, 1:30 PM
A student walks past a sign at Murano Street Student Village in Glasgow, where Glasgow University students are being tested at a pop up test centre, Scotland, Friday, Sept. 25, 2020. Cities around the U.K. are imposing new coronavirus restrictions as they race to slow the spread of COVID-19, and London could be next. University students in Scotland were asked not to go to bars and restaurants this weekend. (Andrew Milligan/PA via AP)
LONDON – Cities around the U.K. imposed new coronavirus restrictions Friday as they raced to slow the spread of COVID-19 — with London at risk of following soon.
Leeds, a city of more than 750,000 in northern England, barred residents from meeting with members of other households either indoors or in private backyards. Wigan, Stockport and Blackpool also faced new restrictions.
In the Welsh cities of Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli, households also will be banned from mixing indoors. And in Scotland, students were asked not to go to bars and restaurants this weekend.
Together with local lockdowns announced previously, one-quarter of the UK population is now living under heightened restrictions.
London, meanwhile, home to almost 9 million people, was added to the British government's COVID-19 watchlist as an "area of concern." That means the U.K. capital could face new restrictions as well, if infections continue to rise in the city.
Mayor Sadiq Khan blamed a shortage of virus testing capacity for the rising infection rates in London, saying that tests had been diverted away from the capital to other hot spots. Officials around the country have criticized the U.K.'s testing program in recent weeks because shortages have hampered the ability to track and isolate infected individuals.
"London is at a very worrying tipping point right now. We're seeing a sharp rise in 111 calls, hospital admissions and patients in ICU,'' Khan said, referencing Britain's hotline for medical assistance. "The near collapse of test and trace and the resurgence of the virus means new measures to slow its spread were absolutely necessary.''
The Office for National Statistics estimates there were about 9,600 new infections a day in England last week, a 60% increase from the week before. The biggest increase was in young people ages 17-24.
Since the pandemic started, Britain has recorded almost 42,000 deaths among people who tested positive for the virus, a figure that likely understates the true toll.
The U.K. government this week imposed a 10 p.m. curfew on pubs and restaurants, while increasing fines for people who violate quarantine and social distancing rules, in an attempt to curb a spike in COVID-19 cases. Some public health experts criticized the measures, saying they didn't go far enough to stem the spread of the disease, which is hitting all age groups and areas of the country.
Public Health Wales said it was concerned that gains made in controlling the virus over the summer were in danger of going to waste because people aren't following recommendations for hygiene and social distancing.
"If the situation continues to worsen, we may find ourselves at the same levels of infection that we experienced earlier this year in March and April; and with that comes the potential for more extended restrictions to be imposed nationally,'' the agency said in a statement.
"Coronavirus has not gone away. It remains the responsibility of everyone to help prevent the spread of this virus to protect older and vulnerable family members and friends."
Researchers at King's College London said Friday that less than 20% of people who reported key symptoms of COVID-19 were self-isolating to ensure they didn't spread the disease.
While most people were aware of the symptoms and expressed the intention to self-isolate before they tested positive, many failed to do so because of financial considerations and the need to care for people outside their home, the researchers found. Increased financial and practical support could increase compliance, the researchers said.
The study was based on surveys with more than 30,000 people conducted by the U.K. Department of Healthy and Social Care between March and August.
"While intention to carry out test, trace and isolate behaviors is high, our results show that adherence is low,'' researcher Louise Smith said in a statement. "This is a common pattern in health behaviors and suggests that while people may be willing to adhered, they may not be able to."

'Graveyard law' heads to U.S. Supreme Court
Scott Township, Pennsylvania; March 5, 2018: The U.S. Supreme Court today announced it will take up Pacific Legal Foundation's challenge over a "graveyard law" in Pennsylvania—and clarify whether the federal courts are obliged to protect property owners from violations of their constitutional rights, in the same way they protect other citizens. This is PLF's third case accepted by the High Court this term.
PLF represents Rose Mary Knick, a single woman living on her 90-acre farm in rural eastern Pennsylvania's Scott Township. After hearing rumors that Ms. Knick's property might contain an old burial site, the Township enacted an ordinance allowing both government inspectors and the general public to enter any property that contains a gravesite of any size, whether it is a private site or not. Township officials soon trespassed on Knick's land and said they had found a few stones that marked a purported gravesite. The Township then ordered Ms. Knick to allow people to cross her land—seven days a week—or face hundreds of dollars in fines per day.
"The records for my property go back hundreds of years, and there's absolutely no evidence of a burial site," said Ms. Knick. "Regardless, if I don't let people onto my property whenever they want to see some rocks, I'm punished. I hope the Supreme Court puts an end to this nonsense—not just for me, but for all Americans."
The ordinance violates Ms. Knick's constitutionally protected property rights under the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause, which requires just compensation for property owners before the government occupies private land. But a federal district court refused to hear the case, citing a 33-year-old Supreme Court precedent known as Williamson County that insists Ms. Knick must first exhaust all legal options at the state level before going to federal court. This oft-used precedent simply shuffles victims around between different courts, wasting time and money, often to no avail.
In granting PLF's petition, the Supreme Court agreed to review this procedural justice-buster. A ruling in favor of our client will allow her—and landowners nationwide—to seek the swiftest relief from unconstitutional government intrusion.
"Federal courts must be open for the protection of all constitutional rights, especially when government gives a pass to the general public to enter your property at any time, seven days a week, to view a couple of stones—in our case, to literally chase ghosts," said PLF Senior Attorney J. David Breemer. "We're thrilled the Supreme Court sees the value our case brings to defending fundamental property rights."
The case is Knick v. Scott Township. More information is available at pacificlegal.org/knick.

– Very much like Shostakovich, if he had composed a wind quintet, says the quintet about the work.
The quintet has toured with the work in the US and Europe for the 2016- 2017 season. It is still going strong on the program for 2018, this time together with giants like Hindemith and Nielsen!
The first concert which included Wind Quintet op. 34 was called Northern Lights: Music for wind quintet from Scandinavia and the Baltic region. The work has been on the program for the 2016- 2017 season, and is performed together with works by Reicha, Haas and Bohuslav Foerster. The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet also performed the work at Festival d' Aix-en-Provence in France in partnership with the Vanderbilt Music Academy. Recently, they have toured USA with the work.
The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet was founded in 1988 in the era of Herbert von Karajan. The ensemble received musical inspiration from the extremely productive and influential partnerships with artists such as Carlos Kleiber, Leonard Amber or Daniel Barenboim, but especially with the conductors Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle. Audience and critics agree that the ensemble has managed to preserve and redefine the sound of the classic quintet.

Resistance The price level at which traders believe the instrument is overpriced and begin selling. Oversupply causes prices to fall. The more often an asset fails to break resistance, the stronger it is perceived as.

These devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, and let's face it, we would be completely lost without it. Yet somehow, most of these devices stay plugged in and powered though our incredible South African lightning storms.
The summer months in South Africa are a glorious blend of scorching hot sunny days and breathless downpours, but along with this rain, comes any electronic systems worst nightmare - lightning. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm. An average bolt of lightning, striking from cloud to ground, contains roughly one billion (1,000,000,000) joules of energy. This is no small amount, enough to power a 60-watt lightbulb for six months plus a forgotten open door refrigerator for a day.
This discharge can occur on power lines or sub stations, causing a huge influx / surge to occur in households and offices, which can of course cause irreparable damage to your appliances and electronics. This is where protection is becoming a vital part in the longevity of these devices.
Lightning can strike the air conductors directly and surge voltages, even from kilometers away, can enter into your installation. This surge voltage is then passed to ground through your equipment which can lead to damage or complete destruction of your equipment.
When lightning strikes an object, (a building, tree or pole etc.) high currents at fast wave fronts occur causing large electromagnetic fields which are then induced into your electrical and data communication cabling. Equalisation then occurs which could cause damage to your equipment.
When lightning strikes a structure, (a building, tree or pole etc.) a high voltage potential exists for the duration of the strike at the point of contact of the structure to the ground. Due to resistivity of the earth, decreasing voltage potentials will be experienced along the current paths moving away from this point. Should you have electronic equipment referenced to different earth systems while connected to each other via copper cables, equalisation will tend to occur via the copper cables resulting in equipment damage.
External or structural protection should always be considered as an integral part of a correctly designed protection system. As the name implies, external or structural protection will only protect the structure and not the equipment located inside the structure. When lightning current is passed into the ground, high electromagnetic fields are generated which will be induced into cabling and wiring causing equipment damage.
*Some solutions that require an installation on a buildings power network required a licensed electrician, and thus BahatiGroup will not be able to perform the installation.

For newcomers, the Canadian banking system can sometimes be unclear – and nowhere is this more true than when purchasing a home. While many newcomers believe they understand the process for securing a mortgage and closing a deal on a new home, many are dismayed to find how complicated the process can be.
RBC surveyed Chinese and South Asian newcomers who have been in Canada for less than a year, and compared their findings to those who have been here for between two and five years.
The poll unveiled some rather interesting results – including a number of myths and realities about homeownership and what it means to newcomers.
What they thought: Buying a house in Canada will be similar to buying a house in my home country.
Reality: As they become more tenured, newcomers are more inclined to agree that it is more complicated to buy a home in Canada than in their home country (57 per cent of 2-5 year tenure group vs.44 per cent among less than one-year tenure).
What they thought: Despite high gas and transportation costs, buying a house in the suburbs will save you money.
Reality: 52 per cent of newcomers who have been in Canada for 2 to 5 years believe that gas and transportation costs can cost more than the savings of buying a home in the suburbs.
What they thought: Buying a home in Canada is a good investment.
Reality: This statement held true for newcomers of all tenures. While the majority of newcomers believe this statement to be true, the longer they've been here, the more they believe it. 73 per cent of 2-5 year tenure group vs. 58 per cent of less than one-year tenure).
What they thought: Getting the best interest rate is important, but not the most important thing to consider when buying a house.
Reality: In reality, 77 per cent newcomers who have been in Canada between 2 and 5 years believe that getting the best interest rate is the most important consideration when buying a home vs. 52 per cent of those who have been here less than 1 year.
"It was great to understand what the perception is of home ownership in Canada by newcomers," said Christine Shisler, Director, Cultural Markets, RBC.

What genre is Horizon? I'm often asked that question, and while it solidly belongs on the shelves next to other science fiction novels, it's actually much more! I first heard the term "space opera" at a pitch slam a few years ago. A pitch slam is like speed dating with agents. The writer gets three minutes, live, in front of an agent, to enthusiastically rattle off all the important facts about her novel, while making it sound so compelling that the agent simply must ask to see the manuscript!
Turns out space opera is a sub-genre of sci-fi (hence the "space" part), but also contains elements of warfare, drama, and adventure. Horizon certainly falls under this category. But even with this added scope, I still struggle to classify it as such - mostly because I think the story will appeal to readers of many genres, not just sci-fi.
I was once asked to describe Horizon in ten words, and here's what I came up with: Science fiction meets romance meets survival fiction meets military thriller! It's a human story, painted on a science fiction canvas. But to tell it the way I wanted, I had to worry less about genre and more about authentically creating my characters and their worlds. The relationship between Caeli and Derek, the two protagonists, is central to the story. I didn't want to water it down, or put less of a focus on it to please a segment of my audience. On the other hand, I didn't want to lose or disappoint readers who were counting on a sci-fi action adventure.
Tabitha will be awarding a $10 Amazon or Barnes and Noble GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour.
I have never heard of space-opera; kind of fun!
Star Wars is the ultimate, well-known space opera, but I never knew that's how it could be classified!
I think I am off to Google space opera.
Right! I think for readers that like adventure and good vs. evil plots, but aren't sure about the hard-core sci-fi, space operas are a good place to start.
And good luck with the giveaway!!!
Great question! I was a Classics major in college so Caeli's name is actually a form of the word caelum which means sky. Other names, for planets and places, I took from star charts, greek words, and cities around the world. Almagest, Caeli's planet, is actually named after Ptolemy's astronomical/mathematical catalogue.
I had fun with names, for sure!!!
Thank you for the amazing excerpt and contest!
You are most welcome! Thanks for checking it out.

Why Profits are Not Exploitative
Rev. Robert A. Sirico
Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Subscribe Print
We have all seen the various stereotypes of the Wall Street tycoon grinding the little guy under his thousand-dollar dress shoes on his way to the top.
In the popular imagination, it is almost inconceivable to think that someone could obtain economic success or wealth without exploiting the vulnerable. And of course, greed is operative in the free market, just as it is operative wherever humans exist in this life. However, it isn't the essence of a free and vibrant economy.
The Meaning of Profit
One often hears that businesspeople are only interested in earning profits – what they can make from the deal.
Set aside for a moment this claim and ask yourself, "Should one invest one's time, energy, talent, and wealth into a business in order to obtain a loss on the balance sheets?" For that you could have stayed home.
Profit is an indicator to you that you are achieving what you set out to do in a sustainable way. The opposite of profit is financial loss, and any business that consistently loses money cannot survive long. Indeed, no business or society can sustainably function where more resources are wasted than created.
Earning a profit is an indication that things are going as planned in meeting the needs of clients, and conversely, that when a profit is not attained, something is going wrong.
The art and talent required for profitability is seen in those enterprises that discover creative ways to make products and services available at accessible and attractive prices, while covering their own costs and then some. These are the companies that serve their clients, the reward for which is built right into the process.
Profit and the Zero-Sum Myth
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that one person gains in a market only if others lose and that if there are poor people, clearly it must be because the rich have taken more than their fair share of the pie, leaving the poor with the crumbs. If that's the case, the obvious solution is to take the pie by force and divide it up equitably.
This is a zero-sum assumption that prevents people from ever asking whether the solution to poverty might be to grow the pie. In conversations with fellow clergy who take this view, I ask, if profits are morally dubious, are losses morally praiseworthy?
But consider that maybe the pie wasn't always just sitting there – the exact same size from all eternity. Maybe some of those who are rich didn't take more than their fair share; maybe they made more than their fair share.
If this is the case, profits aren't inherently immoral any more than losses are a badge of saintliness. Profits suggest that a business is using its resources wisely; losses, that it is not. This isn't to say that profits and losses are a business's be-all and end-all, but they do serve as first-level indicators of whether a business is serving customers in an effective, sustainable manner.
So the next time you see the stereotype of the evil, exploitative businessman, remember that making a profit is actually a good thing that helps everyone, if done in an honest fashion. How does one make an honest profit while benefiting those around him? I'll discuss this in my next post.

Meet the CFO
In the Singapore driving seat
Leadership 10 Mar 2014
DBS finance chief Sok Hui Chng is one of the driving forces behind South-East Asia's biggest lender.
Sok Hui Chng has impeccable timing. The 50-something career banker stepped into her role as finance chief at Singapore-based bank DBS in 2008, smack in the middle of a global financial system meltdown, which coincided with an unprecedented boom in Asia. It was an exceptional moment in history.
The global financial crisis was relatively kind to DBS – thanks in part to Chng's prescience – and subsequently the bank has been busy growing its Asian footprint. The bank now operates in 16 markets and is on track to be one of the few pan-Asian financial institutions able to ride the growing tide of capital that is flowing into Asia.
Chng is recognised as a CFO who knows her stuff. She has energy, drive and has forged strong partnerships with the frontline businesses. She also has a reputation for being friendly and approachable, and is a big believer in using soft measures alongside the traditional metrics of revenues and earnings.
"Connecting with people, building capabilities, seeing what is not there, helping my younger colleagues find opportunities across the organisation and encouraging their commitment – these are soft factors, and I think they're really important," she says.
Ask Chng about her career highlight and she doesn't hesitate: "The progressive realisation over the last four years that our strategic focus is giving DBS tremendous traction."
DBS has a nimble, dynamic, less bureaucratic culture and is expected to have the strongest earnings growth over the next three years.
While DBS is seen as being more dynamic than some of its local rivals, more internationally focused and more inclined to push for high growth in certain businesses, the bank is being challenged on many fronts.
Its regionalisation strategy is not yet fully appreciated by investors, according to Bernstein's banking analyst Kevin Kwek. And while its top management team has undoubtedly proven itself, he says some misgivings remain in the market, related to DBS's acquisition history, for instance.
But that has been changing – DBS has an improving track record and was the clear outperformer in 2013. Its returns (at more than 19 per cent for 2013) were nearly twice that of its nearest competitor, UOB (around 11 per cent).
For Kwek, DBS is the bank to watch, and any negative perceptions lag behind what is real.
"What's real," he says, "is that DBS has a nimble, dynamic, less bureaucratic culture and is expected to have the strongest earnings growth over the next three years."
Part of Chng's task is to help revamp the bank's market standing, and how the stock market values the organisation has to be a huge part of that. Revitalising the bank's image is particularly crucial now, as DBS works to expand its reach across Asia. Chng is positioning the bank for high growth amid strong regional competition. Dealing with new capital management and liquidity regulation is just part of that.
Resourcefulness has always been second nature to Chng. She didn't come from a wealthy family and she learned to make the most of opportunities from a very young age.
"My parents were immigrants from China. My father passed away when I was 12, and my mum had to single-handedly raise five kids. I had to make sure my grades were good enough to win scholarships; give tuition to supplement scholarship funds; and look after my younger siblings," she recalls.
She signed on with DBS – her first and only employer – with a scholarship awarded by the bank. It meant she had to commit to DBS for the first six years following her 1983 graduation from the National University of Singapore, but that was no hardship. Her sharp mind, combined with her clear, concise style, made banking the right choice.
Unusually perhaps, she's had no specific goals in her 30-year career and she is planning to keep it that way.
"In life, the dots connect only in hindsight," Chng says.
"I didn't have a grand career plan when I started in banking. It's always been a case of doing the best job you can wherever you find yourself. Along the way, you get thrown more and larger challenges, build up teams, help shape strategy and hopefully you pick up enough wisdom doing all of that to handle the next wave of change."
In a sense, her career has evolved along with DBS.
"I honestly can't think of a time in the last 15 years or so when there wasn't far more to do than we had resources, time and focus to deal with," she says candidly.
"I was just so busy making change happen. You can't possibly feel unfulfilled seeing such a big impact from the work that you do."
"I don't think having a strategy just focused on wholesale banking will lead to growth opportunities. It is really the customer connectivity, the intermediation of trade and investment flow."
Sometimes the opportunities were formidable. In her time at DBS, she has held more than 10 senior roles – often establishing new functions from scratch. Along the way, Chng has ticked many varied boxes, including corporate planning, market risk management and credit risk management.
In 1995 Chng broke ground by launching a group risk management function before that function became common in the banking industry. Today risk management is highly sophisticated, not least because of the regulatory changes that came with Basel II and III.
When the time came to select a new finance chief, Chng's understanding of the play-off between profitability and risk clearly impressed the DBS board. She has made an equally positive impression on colleagues and analysts.
Rahul Gupta, deputy group CEO of Ambit Group (and formerly the CFO of Shinsei Bank, Japan), knew Chng when he was group financial controller at DBS, and speaks of her "tremendous intellect".
"What is most striking is the way she can toggle between granular operational detail and strategic thinking with complete ease," he says.
"Her long experience in the bank's transformation over the last 13 years and having been a part of the key balance sheet and treasury management is a very optimal combination for a banking CFO to have."
Chng was aware she had a unique perspective when she was appointed CFO after six years as DBS's managing director of risk.
Her first priority was to create a non-profit driven corporate treasury. Rather than have the corporate treasury racking up profits for the bank's own account (through proprietary trading), she insisted that it play a stewardship role, safeguarding the bank's balance sheet.
A non-profit model allowed her to tweak internal transfer prices to optimise the whole balance sheet, and decide what sorts of assets, costs and liabilities the bank wanted.
She has also made a big difference to the way the bank's business performance is measured.
"You can only drive performance management throughout the organisation – and by that I mean risk-adjusted measures for businesses – if you're in the unique role of being able to take on both risk and P&L dimensions and put in place the infrastructure for businesses, so that all our business people know their risk adjusted profitability at the customer level. We can now have very meaningful conversations about the customer rate of return."
DBS posted a net profit of S$3.8 billion in 2012, up 11 per cent over the previous year, and connectivity with Asia is key to DBS's future.
Says Chng: "I don't think having a strategy that is just focused on wholesale banking will lead to growth opportunities. It is really the customer connectivity, the intermediation of trade and investment flow, that makes a difference, as customers in big markets like China, India and Indonesia create opportunities with their counterparts within our network of countries. Trade opportunities, cross-sell opportunities in treasury business or cash management – these are the areas we can leverage with our network."
However, not everything has gone the bank's way. Last year's decision for DBS to walk away from its plan to buy Indonesia's Bank Danamon for US$7.2 billion was a crushing disappointment for Chng. What would have been South-East Asia's largest banking takeover ever was quashed in July 2013 after Indonesia curbed foreign ownership in local banks to 40 per cent.
Although Chng talks brightly about expanding the bank's local Indonesian subsidiary to tap into the potential of Asia's most lucrative lending market, the deal's collapse was a game changer. DBS badly needs to gain a foothold in Indonesia and Danamon's 3000-branch network, serving more than six million customers, fitted the bill nicely.
For DBS, buying growth is seen as a much easier option than building it. Chief executive of DBS, Piyush Gupta, was reported as saying he will need five years to replicate what Danamon would have given him immediately. While some commentators wondered if the decision to bail was short-sighted, most think the asking price for a minority stake was too high, and that DBS did the prudent thing.

Have one clear vision to drive organisational change and alignment.
In 2009, DBS underwent a major transformation. We translated our vision to be "The Asian Bank of Choice for the New Asia" into reality through clearly articulated and well executed strategic priorities.
We created reinforcing mechanisms (policy, process, people, communications) and embedded them in a scorecard to drive alignment deep into the organisation.
Banks need to strategically manage the 3Ls – leverage, liquidity and local application of global rules. This requires understanding the interaction of regulations, risk appetite, markets and accounting with the fundamental economics and dynamics of each business line and customer segment.
We established corporate treasury as a strategic stewardship function in 2009, and it has delivered incredible value in navigating the new landscape of the 3Ls.
I am a big believer in job rotation and putting people in stretch assignments, having done more than 10 different roles myself.
DBS runs an international talent management program. When one of our senior managers resigned in 2012, we orchestrated a role change for six of our lead talents across geographies and functions.

АКСМ-1М (також БКМ-1М) — трамвай білоруського підприємства «Белкомунмаш».

Історія
У 1996 році підприємство «Белкомунмаш» вирішило створити власний трамвай, а вже у 2000 році перший вагон під назвою АКСМ-1М почав перевозити пасажирів. Трамвай обладнаний тірісторно-імпульсною системою керування (ТІСК), що дозволяє економити до 30 % електроенергії порівняно з реостатно-контакторною системою керування (РКСК). На трамваї використовувалися візки виробництва Усть-Катавського вагонобудівного заводу імені С. М. Кірова.

У 2001 році виробництво трамваїв АКСМ-1М було припинено у зв'язку з переходом на нову модель БКМ-60102.

Експлуатація

У 2012 році списані перші два трамвая (№ 026, 027), у 2013 році (№ 028). Останній вагон (№ 029) списаний у грудні 2014 року.

Aaliyah Death
The Aaliyah death report was one of the most shocking news items of the 21st century. It tore at the very heart of the Hip Hop community. This page discusses Section 2 (Aaliyah: A Rising Star), of a 3 Section series which talks about the birth, the rise and the descent of our star, the Princess of R&B, "Baby Girl" Aaliyah Dana Haughton.
Aaliyah: A Rising Star
Shortly after being introduced to Aaliyah by her Uncle, Barry Hankerson, R. Kelly was impressed with what he saw and began to work with her on her first album, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." This album would become an instant hit, taking the relatively unknown 14 year-old to stardom.
"Age Ain't Nothing But A Number" went platinum selling more than a million copies and resulted in two top 10 gold singles, "Back and Forth" which hit #1 on the R&B charts, and "At Your Best (You Are Love)."
Aaliyah's sudden success would bring mixed blessings. Some detractors would attempt to tarnish her "sweet but street" image with malicious rumors. They would declare that then 15 year old teen had secretly married R. Kelly, ten years her senior, and that she was pregnant. Despite constant denials from Aaliyah, some refused to relent.* They would go on, labeling her a "one hit wonder" for the next two years until she released her second album, which became an instant success, increasing both her popularity and fame.
* Although both camps were resolutely tight-lipped, documents later confirmed that the two had wed in the state of Illinois that August and gotten an annulment shortly thereafter. By the time the media buzz died down, the two had parted ways both personally and creatively.
In 1996, Aaliyah released her follow-up album, "One in a Million", working with several different producers, most notably Timbaland, who co-wrote several tracks with his songwriting partner, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott. The first single, "If Your Girl Only Knew" immediately hit #1 on the R&B charts and made the top 10 on Billboard's Top 100 Chart. Two additional singles, "One In A Million" and "Are You That Somebody," from Eddie Murphy's movie "Dr. Dolittle," (in which she also made a cameo appearance), shared similar success, with the latter becoming a hit song of 1998, garnering Aaliyah her first Grammy nomination. "One in a Million" wound up going double platinum, selling more than 2 million copies, transforming R&B from a "live instrumentation" sound to more of a computer-generated track backing.1
In addition to contributing to the Dolittle sound track, Aaliyah would also graduate from High School during this time and then go on to do another sound track for the movie Anastasia. The song, "Journey To The Past" would lead to her first Oscar nomination. Although she would not win, Aaliyah would again perform live before a national audience.
While Aaliyah's popularity reached new heights in the music world, she also found time to act. She appeared as herself in a 1997 episode of the popular TV series "New York Undercover" and in 1997, made a successful acting debut beside the internationally acclaimed actor Jet Li and rapper DMX in 2000's urban Shakespeare adaptation of the hit film "Romeo Must Die", playing the leading actress. Her accompanying soundtrack single, "Try Again," became her first number one hit on the pop charts that summer. Aaliyah would perform so well that she would receive offers for other leading roles in other films.
At the time of Aaliyah death, she had finished filming the leading role, Queen Akasha, in Anne Rice's adaptation of "Queen of the Damned," and was cast as a prominent role in both Matrix sequels, 2 and 3, acting alongside Keanu Reeves. Preliminary filming for Matrix 2 had begun that July and she was scheduled to fly to Australia for filming of the Matrix 3 in early 2002. Furthermore, her hit song, "Try Again" from the "Romeo Must Die" movie was so popular, it became the first song to hit #1 on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart based on airplay alone. "Try Again" also won best female video and video from a film honors for Aaliyah at the 2000 MTV Awards and garnered her a second Grammy nomination (2001). At the time of her death, "Try Again" had been nominated for R&B Song of the Year at the 2001 Soul Train "Lady of Soul" Awards scheduled to take place in September.
Despite her acting success, Aaliyah continued to create music. While filming "Queen of the Damned" in Australia, she would work on a majority of her third album with Timbaland, the self-titled "Aaliyah" that would be released on July 16, 2001. The album received excellent reviews, and the first single, "We Need a Resolution," was a Top 20 R&B hit.
In this latest album, Aaliyah continued her reputation of being on cutting edge of R&B exercising great versatility. She sung to a slow beat about domestic violence in "Never No More," about wanting a future and turning away from a bleak past in "I Gave It All To You," and experimented with jazz rhythms in "I Care 4 U." When "Aaliyah" was released it debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top 100 Pop and R&B Charts. Like Aaliyah's previous two albums, it was an overnight success. Within 5 weeks it was certified gold - well on its way to platinum+ status, having sold more than 500,000 copies in just 5 short weeks.

Home Music Interviews Vini Vici Opens Up About the Rise of Psy-Trance at Tomorrowland
Vini Vici Opens Up About the Rise of Psy-Trance at Tomorrowland
Israeli duo Vini Vici have been rocking Tomorrowland for the past three years. With an impressive show at the mainstage on the first week of the festival, there is no doubt that the duo from is the hottest psy trance sensation in the world right now. We had the chance to talk to them right before their set at the ASOT Freedom Stage. Read here what they had to tell us!
11. Good to see you again at Tomorrowland! This year, you are playing both at ASOT and at the Main Stage. How does it feel to be taking over the main stage at such a legendary music festival?
Matan: It was an epic feeling, a natural high. I can easily say, and I'm sure Aviram will agree that it was one of the best moments of our lives!
Aviram: And the buzz was so crazy after that! Normally after a good show, it takes a few hours but with Tomorrowland it takes a few days, and without noticing we are here again, ready to take another buzz that will probably take another week.
Matan: It kinda feels like our birthday, you know! We get like, hundreds of messages and a lot of feedback, people actually writing stuff, like, taking their time to tell us how meaningful it was for them.
22. Are you bringing some surprises for all your fans at Tomorrowland?
M: Yeah, of course! It's so demanding, when you do the full festival season, so between each festival you need to work hard in the studio and edit, mash-up, produce, it was only one week time so we didn't even have time to laid back!
A: Plus we had four shows in the middle of the week that we needed to prepare for!
M: But we managed to change a lot of the set.
33. Songs like Tribe and Chakra (with W&W) are deeply influenced by ethnic sounds. Can we expect more of that in your upcoming productions?
A: Definitely! We really like the ethnic sounds, it's a part of Vini Vici. Our new song with Alok and Armin Van Buuren is not ethnic, but there's something very spiritual there that, the track is called 'United'.
M: The meaning is spiritual and the flute is ethnic but without the ethnic vocals. But of course, psy trance and ethnic is like two brothers, is going well together and of course is part of our psy trance root, and I'm sure we're gonna do more of it.
44. You have recently collaborated with Steve Aoki for the single
"Moshi-Moshi". Does this mean that more collaborations with EDM giants are coming down the pipe? Can you tell us anything about them?
A: We have a few more collaborations in the future, we didn't do them yet but we have the offers, we can't share exactly the names of them.
M: We have endless ideas and endless offers, but as I said, the festival season takes a lot of our studio time, but of course once we will chill out a bit, we will get in the studio and make a few surprise for you and merge psy trance and a lot of different worlds.
55. You are now positioned as some of the most well known Psy-Trance artists of the last few years, leaving the underground scene behind and attracting more and more attention in the charts everyday. What is the most surprising use of psy trance you have seen so far?
A: First of all last week we saw Psy trance on the main stage here, at Tomorrowland, and it was insanely full, I guess it was like 40,000 people!
M: Its actually was the best psy trance stage in Tomorrowland ever, I got the report from fellow DJs that at 4.30pm were already 3,000 people over there, and the day before, all the rest of the small stages were half empty, so it's showing you how powerful it became!!
66. Tell us a bit about how Israel has influenced your sound.
M: It's the most direct connection you can have, because in Israel the psy trance is a sub culture for us, it's everywhere, from a wedding, to a club, university, schools, literally everywhere, so when a younger guy wants to be a DJ; the first thing he will probably try to do in Israel, is try to produce Psy Trance. It's kind of the motherland of Psy Trance, at least from the producers' point of view, so of course it's a direct influence, it's on our DNA.
77. One last question: Are you morning people or night owls?
A: I think that today I'm a morning person!
M: I'm totally a night owl!
We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to Matan and Aviram of Vini Vici for taking time out of their hectic Tomorrowland schedule to chat with us. You can check out their intense, high energy set from Tomorrowland below!

Is it the weather or Am I just being lazy?
It's been a while since I wrote about our local entertainment industry. What prompted me to write is the on-going "love triangle" controversy between Marian Rivera and Karylle over Dingdong Dantes. Alright...for those of you are not updated with GMA Kapuso stars. Karylle is the 5-year girlfriend of Dingdong while Marian is his on-screen partner. It seemed like Dingdong had fallen out of love with Karylle because he developed an affection with his reel partner Marian. Hmmm! Sounds complicated. Karylle is hurting right now. As a matter of fact, she moved to ABS-CBN to avoid any complications with Marian and Dingdong. There's been a recent rumor that Marian is pregnant with Dingdong's child. Whoa! Neither of them admitted that they are really together so it's kinda weird that there had been talks that she's preggy. Gosh! I hope it's not true. I like Marian's beauty and acting skills so I hope she won't just put everything to waste because of Dingdong. Duh! Showbiz life, hehehe! Kakaloka!

There's a story about a wise man in scripture. He built his house on a rock, when a storm came, his home stood secure because he built it on a strong foundation. Parents, specifically men in the home, are charged with the responsibility of anchoring and building the home on a firm foundation centered around God's Word. Your job is to lead well by leading wisely. A wise man is marked by several characteristics.
1. A wise man is known as a leader in his home.
A wise man is known both in his home and out of his home as a man who studies God's Word. It informs his decisions, marks him as a man of character, and is the center of his home. He leads his wife with gentleness and respect, knowing that God created her as a helper with equal value (Ephesians 5:25). He nurtures his children and trains them in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). He is a man of action who initiates and rejects apathy (2 Samuel 10:7,12). To the best of his ability, he points his family to follow the Lord.
2. A wise man is an ambassador of the gospel.
A wise man understands that we are ministers of reconciliation. We are ambassadors to a lost and broken world (2 Corinthians 5:19) and warriors who do not battle against flesh and blood but against the spiritual realm that desires that no man find God (Ephesians 6:12). We have been charged to take the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15) and to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). In order to do this, we work to be men marked by strength, ready to share and ready to defend.
3. A wise man surrounds himself with other godly men.
A wise man understands that we were not meant to walk through life alone. He seeks the counsel and accountability of other godly men because he knows that he will grow in wisdom as he walks with those who are wise (Proverbs 13:20). As he learns and grows, he entrusts this teaching and wisdom to faithful men who can then also teach others (2 Timothy 2:2).
Praise God that we are in a constant process of conforming more into the image of His Son. He never asked for perfection. He asked us to follow and that He would give us the strength for everything pertaining to life and godliness through our knowledge of Him (2 Peter 1:3). There's grace when we fail and there's grace as we grow. We are not alone in the struggle.
If you are interested in taking another step in your journey toward growth and surrounding yourself with other likeminded men, register for our free upcoming Go Men's Conference as we confirm and discover the battle plan for how to fight and win against Satan's attacks on our lives.

Frequent train service to Como
The city of Como is (besides Lecco) the biggest and closest to Milan among the towns along the coast of Lake Como. Therefore it is a natural hub for travelling from Milan to the Lake Como area.
There is an excellent train connection between Milano Centrale (Milan Main Station) and Como San Giovanni station. The frequency of trains is very high (at least one train every hour during the day). Different kinds of trains serve the route, which is about 50 km long.
Cisalpino: fastest and most expensive
The fastest and the most comfortable trains between Milan and Como are the Cisalpino trains, marked CIS. Cisalpino is the well known train service operating mostly on the routes across the Alps between Italy and Switzerland. Tilting trains are used in order to maintain higher speed in the sharp Alpine curves (thought some trains marked CIS do not use the tilting technology in these days).
The journey from Milan to Como takes a little over 30 minutes with Cisalpino trains. However, these trains are also the most expensive. One journey from Milan to Como costs EUR 7.50, or EUR 9.00 in the first class.
Regional trains between Milan and Como
Regional train is a cheaper option. In Milan you can get on the regional trains at Centrale or Porta Garibaldi stations. The price for the Milan-Como one way trip can reach as low as EUR 3.60. However, in some cases you have to change trains in Monza.
