Denise Barton About the author
In this community member profile we highlight Ankur Upadhyaya, a Cloud Software Engineer at Intel, based in Bangalore, India. He has been an active contributor in the SD-Core community since early 2021.
"I enjoy working with ONF and the Aether community; it provides me with the opportunity to interact and learn from other community members. It also offers first hand feedback from SD-Core users who guide the direction of new features working with the community," said Ankur. "I look forward to more community members contributing to open source 5G SD-Core so that it is easy to adopt by both small and large operators and researchers."
Ankur holds a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University and is a Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD). He began his professional career at Wipro Technologies working on Avaya VoIP telephones, bringing up boards and network stack configuration. Next, he moved on to Cisco Systems as a Software Engineer to work on 3G/4G core gateway products, GGSN and PGW. He later worked with the customer facing team on core deployments. He was part of the war room team that led to the successful launch of Cisco's VoLTE on Verizon and KDDI (Japan) networks. He also worked on enhancing the design for a centralized configuration manager for distributed network-functions at Cisco. Ankur then rejoined Affirmed Networks (now part of Microsoft) and was responsible for the co-development of the NB-IoT product eSCEF to cater NIDD (Non IP Data Delivery) and UE monitoring solutions.
In February 2021, Ankur joined the ONF to focus working on SD-Core. His major contribution to SD-Core features has been related to SMF, specifically:
Transaction Framework for high throughput
5G Qos provisioning for SMF
Introduction of UPF Adaptor function to support CN SMF.
High Availability and Stateless feature support for CN SMF along with community member Jingqi Huang.
In addition, he has worked closely with community members on successful SD-Core deployment.
At Intel, Ankur is continuing SD-Core development along with Oguz Sunay, Ajay Thakur, Badhrinath Padmanabhan and Vijaya Rani. The team is focused on development of 5G network functions and making SD-Core fully cloud native. Ankur is currently working on the development of Metrics Function and 5G Statistics Dashboard. This feature will provide 5G SD-Core users with a rich metrics experience using Grafana Dashboard and Metric API Server to fetch raw subscriber/NFs statistics via API call. More details can be found in the Aether Documentation.
In his spare time, Ankur is a sports enthusiast and enjoys playing lawn tennis, swimming, skating and running. He is also an amateur photographer and has won contests from Sony and Canon India. Check out his portfolio of photos here.

Important News about Spider-Man PS4 confirms the average duration of the game.
James Stevenson, community director at Insomniac Games, has kindly used the time on Twitter to answer fan requests about the upcoming exclusive Playstation 4.  He concluded the rumors that the game was "short", with some people hinting that it was less than 12 hours.
20 hours are more honest as I expected, for comparison, the Batman: Arkham games are on average 13 hours long.
Spider-Man released exclusively for Playstation 4 on September 7, 2018.


Artificial sweeteners are linked to long-term weight gain and increased risk of obesity, among other health issues, says a new study.
The study says artificial sweeteners may have long-term negative effects on metabolism, gut bacteria and appetite.
Researchers from the University of Manitoba's centre for healthcare innovation conducted a systematic review of 37 studies that followed over 400,000 people for an average of 10 years.
The observational studies showed a link between consumption of artificial sweeteners and relatively higher risks of weight gain and obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other health issues.
"Despite the fact that millions of individuals routinely consume artificial sweeteners, relatively few patients have been included in clinical trials of these products," said author Ryan Zarychanski, an assistant professor.
Meghan Azad, lead author and assistant professor, called for caution until the long term risks are fully ascertained.
"Caution is warranted until the long-term health effects of artificial sweeteners are fully characterised," said Azad.
The study was published in Canadian medical association journal.

I have a new post up on the Chicago Moms Blog about Nutmeg willingly signing up for deportment class. Also, I would like to report that the temperature has climbed all the way from 16 below this morning to 0 degrees. Time to break out the kiddie pool!
OK, in reality we decided to stay inside all day, and I feel kind of like one of those poor old ladies who die alone and get eaten by their cats. Except, I'm still alive, and the cats have opposable thumbs and WON'T SHUT UP.


North West is already a Snapchat master | HELLO!
Her parents are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, so it's not that surprising that North West is already getting to grips with social media. The two-year-old has become the new star of Kim's Snapchat videos – and, just like her famous mum, the tot loves a selfie.
Kim, 35, uploaded a clip to the video sharing app at the weekend, showing little Nori posing with a flowery headband filter. As Kim coos to North, the little girl beams at the camera. "Hi, Snapchat," she says, reminding us all of just how fast she is growing up.
In another short video, she has digital stars in her hair and proud mum Kim calls her "my little North star" – but North is too busy trying to touch the filter, seemingly baffled by the fact the stars aren't there in real life.
Kim and North spent some quality mother/daughter time together over the weekend, and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star's social media revealed that, as well as playing around on Snapchat, they also visited the beach, where the little girl was fixated with the ocean.
On the drive back home, Kim took another video in which Arian Grande could be heard playing in the background. An unimpressed North is seen in the background, gazing out of the window. Kim tries to ask her daughter whether or not she likes the song, but gets no response.
Kim previously revealed North definitely knows what she likes when it comes to music, and is a huge fan of her dad's rap tracks.

Ingram Recalled by Predators
Milwaukee, WI—Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the team has recalled goaltender Connor Ingram from Milwaukee.
Ingram has appeared in two games for the Predators this season, including his NHL debut on Oct. 24 at Minnesota, a 33-save victory. The 6-foot-2, 196-pound goaltender, now in his third season with the Nashville organization, is 6-7-1 with a 3.08 goals-against average and .907 save percentage in 14 games for the Admirals in 2021-22. He's won three of his last five AHL starts, the most recent coming in a 37-save effort – his third-most in a game this season – on Dec. 4 at Cleveland.
The Admirals return to action this weekend when they play host to the Iowa Wild on Friday night at 7 pm and then again on Saturday night at 6 pm.

Stay Away! There are plenty of sites that can actually follow-through on a sale.
First it was my vet's fault then it was my Internet provider...definitely not their issues - they tell you all about their procedures, which is nice, except they can't deliver product.
The day I called was miraculously the day they found the paperwork. Huh?
Use This site just once to see for yourself!
Use this once and you'll see for yourself!
California Pet Pharmacy - Customer service is pathetic!
Ordered 1/23 paid for quicker delivery 1/31 still note on USPS it is indefinitely delayed. Customer service says no returns. No returns and no meds. My poor pet. Never again! After I placed the order I was contacted over 3 days to clarify vet, and quantities that were clearly imputed on site order. No help other than to say "sorry"
I've used this pharmacy before but they are now horrible with contacting the veterinarian and then timing of delivery. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! Also takes FOREVER (20+ minutes!) to get customer service on the phone.

LED v. CFL: We Vote for LED
Long before you heard the mainstream push to promote CFL bulbs we warned of the mervury/hazardous waste risk that seemed to be ignored by most venues.
At the same time we've warned against CFL bulbs we've educated for the switch to LED light blubs or PAR halogen types.
Now it seems that E and Daily Green have taken our heed. Mind you we have written tro them in the past about LED, while they still were promoting CFL and not paying such close attention to the hazards.
Yes LED are more costly initially the cost should come down once more people start buying them. However, over the long term, LED blubs are much more cost effective.
As we say, we are usally well ahead of the curve on health news and its impact on you, as well as often copied but never duplicated.
Want Energy Efficient, Mercury-Free LED Light Bulbs for Your Home?
Recent Technology Lights the Way to a Greener Future
Dear EarthTalk: What's the story with LED light bulbs that are reputed to be even more energy-efficient than compact fluorescents?--
Perhaps the ultimate "alternative to the alternative," the LED (light-emitting diode) light bulb may well dethrone the compact fluorescent (CFL) as king of the green lighting choices. But it has a way to go yet in terms of both affordability and brightness.
LEDs have been used widely for decades in other applications -- forming the numbers on digital clocks, lighting up watches and cell phones and, when used in clusters, illuminating traffic lights and forming the images on large outdoor television screens. Until recently LED lighting has been impractical to use for most other everyday applications because it is built around costly semiconductor technology. But the price of semiconductor materials has dropped in recent years, opening the door for some exciting changes in energy-efficient, green friendly lighting options.
According to HowStuffWorks.com, LED bulbs are lit solely by the movement of electrons. Unlike incandescents, they have no filament that will burn out; and unlike CFLs, they contain no mercury or other toxic substances. Proponents say LEDs can last some 60 times longer than incandescents and 10 times longer than CFLs. And unlike incandescents, which generate a lot of waste heat, LEDs don't get especially hot and use a much higher percentage of electricity for directly generating light.
But as with early CFLs, LED bulbs are not known for their brightness. According to a January 2008 article in Science Daily, "Because of their structure and material, much of the light in standard LEDs becomes trapped, reducing the brightness of the light and making them unsuitable as the main lighting source in the home." LED makers get around this problem in some applications by clustering many small LED bulbs together in a single casing to concentrate the light emitted. But such LED "bulbs" still don't generate light much brighter than a 35-watt incandescent.
If LEDs are going to replace incandescents and CFLs, manufacturers will have to make them brighter. EarthLED is lighting the way with its EvoLux and ZetaLux bulbs, which use multiple LEDs in a single casing to generate light. The EvoLux delivers light equal to that of a 100-watt incandescent, the company says. But the $80/bulb price tag may be tough to swallow. The ZetaLux, which retails for $49.99, delivers light equivalent to a 50- or 60-watt incandescent, will last 50,000 hours and costs only $2/yearly to run.
Other bulb makers are working on similar designs for high-powered LED bulbs, hoping that an increase in availability will help spur demand, which will in turn lower prices across the board. Until then, consumers can find LED bulbs suitable for secondary and mood lighting purposes in many hardware and big box stores. C. Crane's 1.3-watt LED bulb, for example, generates as much light as a 15-watt incandescent bulb. Check your local hardware store for other options, as well as online vendors such as Best Home LED Lighting, Bulbster, SuperBrightLEDs.com and We Love LEDs.

For those who don't know, I' currently working on Instituto Superior Técnico at the Fenix Project. Fenix is a web application developed to do academic administration of the entire college, from course enrollment to parking.
This application is written in Java and uses a rich domain with more than 1000 distinct entities. One of the technologies that suports Fenix is the JVSTM (Java Versioned Software Transactional Memory) and the FenixFramework. This library allows to describe complex domains (both entities and relationships) in a syntax similar to java, and generates both the SQL1 code that creates/alter the tables, and the high level code that works with the application level.
One of the first problems that i faced was the domain dimension, and and the level of relations that exist. The team is used to opening the domain model file and scroll up and down searching for relations and classes, but this file has 17000+ lines. So one of the first things i developed was the Fenix Domain Browser, a domain structure navigator that presents the domain as a series of UML schemes. But this browser only can inspect the domain structure and not his instances. For that you normally use SQL queries, that makes navigating in a relation a slow and painful process (inner joins), or you build the entire stack from the domain up to the viewing level. None of this alternatives was ideal but was what we had.
Last year, in "Programação Avançada" (Advanced Programming), one of the course projects was to develop an interpretator of Java2. Developing this REPL3 was alot of fun, because we had time and implemented a bunch of features that weren't required (dynamic functions, macros, etc.). After the project ended, I tried to connect this REPL with the Fenix Domain, but ending up not being a nice interaction. The main problem was Java's typification. Each time you had to create a variable you had to declare types and probably do some kind of cast. Using Object variables only delays the problem since it had then to upper cast them to call any method. Other problem was the intersection library that I was using, JA doesn't support Java 5 and that means no foreach's, autoboxings, etc. For that reasons I stopped using it and put it aside.
Recently I was given the responsibility of reorganize an application used in IST called FeaRS. This is a Feature request system, but uses a voting system similar to digg or reddit. This application also uses the same domain technology than Fenix. When I finally put the application running on my server I wanted to inspect the instances on the domain so I remember of using the REPL I had developed. But this time I had one of those "What if".
To start a query, an array (either a Java Collection, or something that implements a map method) is passed to the $ function. This will generate a Query object.
I executed some tests with this language and for the most part, performance is acceptable. The first iteration of a new relation is a bit slower due to the objects not being in cache.
The biggest relation that exists contains about 2 million objects. Using only integer, an iteration over a list with 2.5 millions objects took about 30 seconds. This means that the bottleneck is still in the connection to the database.
One of the things i would like to implement is some kind of lazy evaluation. Currently each function call returns a new query object. That means that the query doesn't generate side effects on the query object. So, its possible to create promises of execution for each new operation and when a effect requested the full set of operations would be minimized and optimized. But since this is going to be used in a development environment, this is not critical right now.
Tesseract is available at githut here. Its NOT production ready, its even prior to a version 0.1 at this moment.


Paul Zanker, in his Roman Portraits: Sculptures in Stone and Bronze in the Collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2016) no. 3, identifies the figure as an orator and dates it to c. 50–30 BC. Zanker observes that the folds of the drapery contain "many traces of soil" suggesting to him that the figure comes from "an excavation". The so-called excavation is not likely to have been a scientific one, or the statue would have been known. One also wonders why a statue that has been out of the ground for so long is presented as if it is fresh out of the ground. There is no mention of any analysis of the soil that could perhaps have given an indication of the findspot. Zanker suggests that the statue "presumably" was found in "western Turkey or neighbouring Syria". Does Zanker reject the MMA's view that the statue was (said to have been) derived from Syria?
The statue was purchased from Phoenix Ancient Art in 2001, the same year that it was donated (anonymously) to the MMA.
The head of Drusus Minor acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art, and now returned to Italy after it was shown to have been removed from an archaeological store; it had been provided with a history that had placed it in Algeria in the 19th century.
The Leutwitz Apollo acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art; the bronze statue had been provided with a history that had placed it in Leutwitz before the Second World War. A discussion of the history can be found here.
The Egyptian mummy case excavated (and published) at Saqqara in 1952, and was acquired by the St Louis Art Museum; it was provided with a history that placed it in a dealer's gallery in Brussels. The full history can be found here.
It is also important to remember the Etruscan architectural terracotta that was returned to Italy from the Princeton University Art Museum.
It is claimed both by the MMA's online catalogue entry and in Zanker, that the statue was "Reported to be the property of A. Weber of Eulenbruch, near Cologne, Germany, from the late 1970s". The word reported suggests that there is no actual authenticated evidence that it did indeed come from Herr Weber, otherwise the entry would have said something like this, "Formerly the property of ...".
The MMA felt that it could make the further acquisition in 2010 as it had received "part" of the statue as a gift in 2001. (See the AAMD Guidelines for 2008.) The exception made was: "The work was accepted as a partial gift in 2001 and has been exhibited publicly since 2007. Such over life-size bronze statues are extremely rare, especially ones of the quality of this piece. It represents a major class of Hellenistic honorific statuary not otherwise represented in the Museum's collection."
The history of this bronze statue in the period before 2001 appears to be unconfirmed. Should the MMA reveal the nature of its due diligence process prior to the acquisition of the bronze?
Would it be unusual for the Bubon sequence of portrait statues?


During the summer I get obsessed with bright, fun colors. Bright yellow, pink and teal are some of my favorites.
Summer at my house also means lots of fresh fruit. Three of my kids' favorite fruits are dragonfruit, raspberries and blueberries. Let's match some inks!
Diamine Marine is the first ink bottle I ever bought, and I'm still in love with it 3 years later.
Soft Mint is a beautiful color, one of my favorite Diamine inks.
I don't think you can go wring with a bright pink in summer.
Yellow Sunset is still one of my favorite yellows of all time. It has some amazing shading and is dark enough to be readable.
Buttercup is pretty light, but still a great color.
I might be developing an unhealthy obsession with ink swabs. I love making them.
Summer is here, grab some sunscreen and go outside!

Minnesota's Greatest Generation Oral History Project: Minnesota Native American Interviews: Interview with Jim Clark
Transcript (PDF)
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Jim Clark was born in 1918 and grew up in the Pine County. He worked in the CCCID [Civilian Conservation Corps Indian Division] for three years. He served in the U.S. Army as a medic during World War II. After the war Clark returned home to Aazhoomog in 1946. He found work at a hospital in Minneapolis in 1953 and continued to work in hospitals in the Twin Cities area for the next thirty years. In 1970 he began teaching the Ojibwe language at evening classes. He retired from hospital work in 1983 and soon afterwards began working in the Minneapolis Public Schools where he taught Ojibwe for eight years. In the early 1990s Clark returned to the Mille Lacs area where he stayed active in the Ojibwe community and wrote a memoir in both English and Ojibwe, Naawigiizis, Memories of Center of the Moon, which was published in 2002. SUBJECTS DISCUSSED: Growing up in Aazhoomog; ricing and sugar camps and other traditional activities; life during the Depression; boarding school experiences; speaking Ojibwe more than English while growing up; boarding school experiences at Hayward and Wahpeton; CCC experiences; mail censorship during WWII; technological changes since WWII; working in hospitals; marriage and children; teaching the Ojibwe language; writing down stories and how he got to know Louise Erdrich, who wrote his book's introduction; preserving Ojibwe language and culture.

Using tools to make the process easier.
DouglasJuly 17, 2008Behind the Scenes, Employees, Little Things, Big Differences Comments Off on Using tools to make the process easier.
Employees, especially customer service representatives, usually don't like having to go out of their way to do something for a customer. It may be because they don't have the time, it could be because they lack the dedication, or one of any other number of reasons. But, the point is – most employees don't like to have their bosses make more work for them.
The best way to combat this attitude is usually to provide great tools that employees can use to make the process easier. The tools can be simple and just do one or two specific things or they can be monster tools that can run the world. The exact tool obviously depends on the task, who's using it, and what it is being used for, but tools are almost always a great help. Well designed tools are usually such a great help because they just make things that might otherwise take a while go easier and faster.
Tools also have the potential to make processes more reliable and complete. A small company I worked with turned what used to be a form that employees would fill out into a simple tool that employees could use to fill out to save the same information. They not only saw the process get done faster and become easier, but also more noticed the data provided was more complete and more accurate. The simple tool forced the company's employees to follow the right procedure and before the company knew it, people were doing just that.
And it can really be just that simple. The toolset you provide to your employees doesn't have to be fancy and it doesn't need to cost millions of dollars. It does need to be well thought out, though. It has to be tested by people of all levels and most importantly, it needs to be usable (which tends to mean fast and simple). If employees have a hard time using a particular tool, they won't use it. When no one is using a tool, absolutely no one benefits from it.
You know what, I can assist you with that.
DouglasJuly 16, 2008Customer Service, Little Things, Big Differences Comments Off on You know what, I can assist you with that.
Every customer has the eternal fear of calling a company and speaking to a representative who knows nothing. The representative is clueless about everything; how the account works, how the company works, who you are, what you're doing, why you're doing it, and who to go to. It makes you want to pull your hair out and wish there were no moronic idiots in customer service.
But, every now and then you get a representative that you know is good. You can almost immediately tell that he or she knows his stuff and is serious about it. The representative knows who you are, is familiar with the trouble you're going through, and most importantly, knows how to fix it. And you feel good about what they say and how they do what they do.
The question is, how do representatives instill this level of confidence in customers? When a customer calls or emails a company and gets a response back, they have no way of telling if John is smarter than Jane or if Betty is smarter than Bob. To the customer, John, Jane, Betty, and Bob are just four customer service representatives who the customer hopes are equally talented and skilled.
Something I have always found to be effective is telling the customer just what they want to hear: that you can help them resolve their problem today. I usually encourage representatives to say something like this after the customer gets finishing explaining his or her issue: I can definitely help you get that issue resolved today.
Even the most cynical customers (i. e. me) feel better when a representative says that statement or something like it. It instills instant confidence. It is infinitely better than "uh" or "okay" or "I've never seen that one before." As a representative, saying you can help and that you're willing to help will do a world of good for the customer service experience and for the customer.
Try it yourself. Encourage your employees to try it. If it doesn't work, tell me. I may not believe you, but I promise I will listen.
Going the extra 50 feet.
The other day I wrote about how a check out clerk at a grocery store went the extra 50 feet (as opposed to the extra mile) to make my shopping experience faster and more convenient. His going the extra 50 feet brought the service experience from acceptable to great in my eyes. He didn't do that much extra, but he did do enough to make a difference.
I preach about the importance of the little things day in and day out and when companies have employees that do them consistently, they always do end up making a difference. It doesn't matter if the company is an average customer service provider or a world-class customer service company, employees going the extra 50 feet consistently will make a difference. It makes a difference because customers appreciate it when employees do put in that extra effort to make their customer service experience better than usual.
I am working with a company that needs to adapt the extra 50 feet mentality. They do a great job at providing the basics and while they often do go the extra 50 feet, they don't do it consistently. They are now at the stage where they are building the idea into their processes and procedures.
They're hoping to go from acceptable to great by not only encouraging employees to go the extra distance, but by building it into all of their processes and procedures. If going the extra distance becomes standard operating procedure, chances are, it'll happen a lot more than if it was left up to chance. For companies that don't really have a culture of customer service ingrained into the company DNA just yet (very few companies do – think Nordstrom and Ritz Carlton as examples of companies that do), the extra distance has to be built right into the processes. Eventually, going that extra distance will be automatic and assumed, but chances are it won't start off that way.
The challenge that my particular client, as well as countless other companies, is facing is where and how to go that extra distance. What's too little and what's too much? There is no definitive answer for any particular company or industry. Everyone has different customers and different ways of providing service. And I think that is what makes it such an interesting question and an interesting challenge.
What's the ideal response rate?
I am not a statistics expert. I know the basics: I can write reasonably balanced questions, I know which questions to ask to get the information I'm interested in, I know what is and is not a random sample, and I can use Excel to an extent where I can organize and make sense of the data. I am not a math guy, but I do find the numbers behind customer service interesting.
Most of the time, the numbers I get from surveys just confirm common sense and/or my original assumptions, but I also do learn things about the company and the customers in question just about every time. They're worth doing, especially considering they cost relatively little and don't take that much time.
However, a question that always plagues me is how much of a response rate is enough. I've seen response rates for various surveys range from 3 or 4% (for long, annoying surveys) to more than 70% (for short, direct surveys). I've used incentives to increase response rates and then I've run incentive-less surveys.
The most recent survey I ran for a client saw response rates increase by about 7 percentage points when a fairly reasonable incentive was added. The first time around, I worked with the client to run a short and simple survey that ended up yielding about a 13% response rate. Then, we added an incentive, ran the exact same survey and sent it to a slightly different group, and saw the response rate go up to go about to about 20% (which I still thought was kind of low). The randomly selected person who won the giveaway was delighted and I am confident that he is now a customer for life (despite the fact that he rated the company positively anyway).
Companies I have worked with have had survey response rates that are all over the place. Some companies just seem to have more responsive customers than others. Some surveys tend to attract more attention than others. A lot of it seems kind of random until you've done it a few times at the particular company.
With that in mind, is anyone aware of a good response rate that yields accurate enough results and is still manageable to obtain? I like to aim for about 30% in the surveys I do, but that is often a little bit too optimistic. What would you say is a good response rate and how would you go about achieving that?
Call monitoring leading to call coaching.
Though this is more Tom's area of expertise, I'd like to write about call monitoring and quality assurance.
I have been working with a rapidly growing technology company over the last couple of weeks and one of their internal customer service focuses is on call monitoring. They've previously found it hard to set aside the time to monitor calls and have only recently developed formal customer service standards, so I've been helping them with it and they've been learning a lot and applying a lot of my suggestions.
And something I've learned in the process and from my other experiences with call monitoring and other types of customer service auditing is that all companies of all sizes and at all stages of customer service mastery can learn a lot from listening to their own calls.
The company I am working with has decided to keep the purpose of call monitoring mostly constructive. If anything particularly bad is noticed, they take more serious action, but most of the time, the results and findings of the call monitoring are used to coach and assist the employees in question. They meet with supervisors (and oftentimes me) and everyone goes over what the employee does well, what he or she does not do so well, and how he or she should work on improving. At the end of the meeting, the employee hopefully leaves with an idea of how best to improve. A follow up is usually scheduled to see if the employee has taken the suggestions to heart and to practice.
I've talked about the importance of coaching employees before and I stand by my original post – coaching is extremely important and necessary for customer service success. Making coaching a regular constructive, instead of a disciplinary, process will help to improve customer service. The company I've been working with has committed to coaching all new employees two times before their six month reviews and every six months after that. It's going to be a lot of work for the company, but it is also going to be a process that they will learn a lot from.
DouglasJuly 10, 2008Culture, Customer Satisfaction, Little Things, Big Differences Comments Off on Act with urgency.
When I work with customer service providers, I have to remind them to live and die by urgency. I'm going to make a (perhaps brave) assumption and say that all companies that wish to be successful need to value urgency when it comes to customer service.
In customer service, especially the type of customer service where you're working on resolving customer problems, urgency has to be a priority. It has to be a priority because customers want their issues resolved quickly. They don't want to wait a few more hours or a few more days – they want their issues resolved five minutes ago. Almost everything else is too slow and not urgent enough in the eyes of many customers. In most cases, the customer's issue is not mission critical in the bigger scope of things, but as long as the customer thinks its important, it should be important to you and your company.
To act with urgency, your company doesn't necessarily have to resolve issues in 15 minutes. However, it can't waste time. Customer service representatives have to communicate to customers that they are working on resolving the issue at hand as quickly as possible. Companies that believe in urgency don't stall and don't make excuses for why things aren't happening quickly – they forget the excuses, apologize, and fix the issue. If customers believe that customer service representatives are making a genuine effort to resolve their issues as quickly as possible, they will be more understanding.
Just like doing little things, acting with urgency is just as much a cultural aspect of a company as it is an operational process. The company needs to communicate with customers that it values urgency and it needs to help customer service representatives act on that. If a company doesn't do both of those things, it probably won't succeed.
Doing something little to make a difference.
I was grocery shopping at a Randalls store earlier this evening and took my cart full of groceries to check out at the front of the store.
There were only a couple of "lanes" open, but as I was waiting in line at one lane, the cashier from another lane who had just finished with another customer offered to help me check out. He then politely offered to help move my groceries over to his lane and began to check me out. It was a little thing that made me think pretty highly of the customer service at that particular store.
While the above example was by no means a grand gesture, but it was unexpected and pleasantly surprising. Companies in industries that aren't known for particularly great customer service (like Randalls in the grocery industry have an advantage because they can usually be better than everyone else by just being okay.
In this case, the cashier that helped me was better than a majority of cashiers who would close their registers and go take a break as soon as the number of customers in their line went down to zero. He cared and wanted to help, so he did just that.
Encouraging employees to do little things of that nature is extremely important. It is cultural as much as its operational. Having a policy or training in place that encourages employees to help out customers in subtle ways is important and it'll almost certainly make a difference.
Having employees that are willing to go that extra 100 feet (not even a mile) can make a huge difference in the customer service experience. It's your responsibility as manager to encourage and reward them to go that extra 100, 500, or even 5280 feet whenever they can.
I was talking to a company not too long ago that would have regular "Product Defect Meetings." Employees from all departments and all levels of seniority would take place in these meetings: management, engineers, customer service people, product managers, etc. At these meetings, people would point out bugs, defects, suggestions, and ideas for particular products and services.
The challenge of fostering effective communication between engineers and customer service is a problem for a lot of companies. I think a regular "Product Defect Meeting" is a good way to help break down some communication barriers. It provides an open forum for different employees to voice their concerns, suggestions, and observations. A lot of times just incorporating and following through with the idea of open meetings between different teams is half the battle. It's as much as a mind set as a functional operation at a company.
At Product Defect Meetings and any meetings like it, something that is extremely important is taking notes and assigning tasks and responsibilities to people. It's really easy for people to sit in a meeting for an hour or so and just yes everyone else to death.
An effective meeting leader is necessary to ensure the meetings are actually productive. If the meetings are productive (meaning: fixes and ideas come as a result of the groups meeting), then they're worth every minute. If people are just talking about the same bugs and issues, then it's a waste of everyone's time.

Explained -Why RBI clarified that Banks can't stop investors from investing in Cryptocurrencies
On May 31, India's central bank RBI has clarified that the bank cannot cite its 2018 circular to ban cryptocurrency trading, considering the Supreme court of India had already squashed the 2018 circular on digital currencies. This comes after SBI and HDFC bank has issued warnings to their customers on trading cryptocurrencies.
According to the 2018 circular, the Reserve Bank of India has cautioned users on holding or trading virtual currencies, and financial entities regulated by RBI were asked to stop providing services to businesses or individuals trading cryptocurrencies. RBI cited the reason for this ban as the highly volatile nature of cryptocurrencies and the risk associated with it.
Why Indian banks were not allowing cryptocurrency transactions?
Top Indian banks are sending cautionary emails to their customers regarding the use of cryptocurrencies or bitcoin--warning them against cryptocurrency transactions.
The banks have been continued blocking transactions of cryptocurrencies of individuals and cryptocurrency exchanges even though the Apex court of India has set aside the RBI's 2018 circular on virtual currencies.
Nischal Shetty, CEO of WazirX told The Quint "There seems to be confusion among the banking industry because they are not giving banking access to the crypto industry in India despite the court verdict. We request banks to update their compliance teams about the Supreme Court ruling that set aside the RBI circular against crypto,"
Over the past week, many cryptocurrency exchanges like WazirX, CoinSwitch Kuber app, and others have been experiencing setbacks—issues with INR deposits via banks and payment gateways. Due to a lack of regulations in the crypto space, most banks have stopped giving services to entities dealing with cryptocurrencies.
In the absence of any proper regulations and clarifications from RBI after the supreme court quashed the 2018 circulation, the banks have distanced themselves from any cryptocurrency transactions.
After SC's ruling in 2020, UPI transaction provider National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) had continued providing services for crypto trading, but banks stopped providing UPI services to crypto exchanges which lead to the removal of UPI as a payment option.
HDFC Bank Limited and State Bank of India (SBI) has earlier started sending emails to their customers who were using cryptocurrencies to caution them about its use and warning them of restricting transactions in their account.
Screenshot of a mail sent by HDFC Bank to a private lender, Sanat Mehrotra said, "We have observed that your account reflects probable virtual currency transactions which aren't permitted as per RBI guidelines." It added, "To comply with the regulatory guidelines (RBI vide guidelines DBR.No.BP.BC.104 /08.13.102/2017-18 dated April 06, 2018), the Banks are advised to exercise due diligence by closely examining the transactions carried out in the account on an ongoing basis,"
As per the tweet by crypto investor Sanat Mehrotra, the bank threatened of withdrawing banking services for purchasing some cryptocurrencies, who argued that "Given crypto being deliberated by lawmakers, is this not harassment?"
Sathvik Vishwanath, co-founder and CEO of Unocoin, and DigitX cofounder Ashish Mehta got a similar response from ICICI Bank that they are going to stop providing services to crypto entities and the company's account associated with the bank will be suspended. ICICI Bank has not clarified why it has decided to shut off services to exchanges.
"Many banks still quote the 2018 RBI circular, which was quashed by the Supreme Court, and pointed out that they have not yet received any official clarification from RBI post the court verdict," said Subbraj. co-founder and CEO of Giottus Cryptocurrency Exchange.
The reason behind RBI's decision
After several reports from the social media and news channels about banks cautioning their customers from dealing in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by quoting the 2018 circular, RBI soon cleared the air with the statement that, "Such references to the above circular by banks/regulated entities is no longer valid from the date of the Supreme Court judgment on March 04, 2020,"
It further added, "In view of the order of the Supreme Court, the circular is no longer valid from the date of the Supreme Court judgment, and therefore cannot be cited or quoted from."
RBI has taken this decision to avoid any legal trouble by going against the Supreme court of India and to safeguard its position. It still expresses its concerns over the use of virtual currencies, without forming an opinion on regulating digital assets, while the banks still cite RBI's 2018 circular to ban crypto transactions.
If the crypto lobby moves court against banks, the Reserve Bank of India will face the wrath of the judiciary and not banks. Hence, RBI told banks to carry out the necessary routine due diligence measures on the deals in line with regulations governing standards and not cite its 2018 circular as it is not valid and hinders digital currency trades.
Future of digital currency in India
After the Reserve Bank of India made its stance clear on Monday, the cryptocurrency exchanges and investors breathed a huge sigh of relief. Central bank by maintaining a neutral position has not validated the cryptocurrency after all it's not conformable with virtual currency as an alternative to traditional currency and the risks involved in making it completely legal.
Crypto exchanges and investors have welcomed the decision by the RBI, which is seen as support of the growth of the digital currency business in India. But, the most awaited bill called "The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official digital currency Bill, 2021," which is yet to be introduced in Parliament will decide the future of virtual currency in India.

The government is providing additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school head teachers.
Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. In most cases, we determine how many pupils in your school attract the funding using data from the school census.
In allocating Sports Premium money the school has considered the needs of the pupils and the skills that the teachers are able to provide. All children are assessed for PE, taking into account their individual ability. Sports skills are deemed to be a strength of the school due to good teaching and are reflected in the school's sporting achievements each year. All pupils are given an opportunity to engage and excel in sporting activities through lessons and extra-curricular clubs.
We pride ourselves on the experiences we offer to the full range of pupils at our school. At Scotter Primary School we aim to give access for all to quality first PE teaching.
Provide time for the PE leader to audit the current situation for the provision of school PE and sport in school.
Provide CPD opportunities to address needs of staff.
Provide additional extracurricular opportunities to increase participation.
Provide appropriate and a range of quality equipment to support lessons and active playtimes.
Provide P.E mentors to support the teaching of weekly P.E sessions for all teachers across the school.
Provide transport to and from extra-curricular sporting events.
This is on top of our extensive in-school sports programme, which all children access.

Rape Roko – a movement worth supporting
News March 8, 2018March 9, 2018 Ritu Jha
The Indian justice system is remarkably slow when it comes to issues of sexual assault – as point underlined after the rape of an eight-month-old child
Vijaylakshmi Nadar
When Swati Maliwal, the chief of the Delhi Commission of Women (DCW), decided to launch a Rape Roko movement in Delhi on January 31, following the rape of an eight-month-old baby, I joined a stream of NRIs from the US and Canada, in the campaign.
We wanted the Indian government into taking steps to address rapes of babies. Like Swati, we wanted justice in clear cases to be delivered within six months for babies besides demanding the capital punishment for rapists,
Crimes against women and children have been a sensitive subject for me, because I, too, have been fighting a molestation case for the last 10 years in India.Like others, I have experienced first-hand the insensitivity of the Indian justice system is to attacks on women and children, however heinous the crimes be.
Despite being a journalist, I was not spared the ordeal of first struggling to file a case, for which there was absolute reluctance on the part of the police, a perfunctory investigation, a decade-long wait as the trial wound through at a snail's pace through its various stages, while the accused could file petition upon petition to further delay the matter. This, despite top police officials being involved in the process. The case has been especially frustrating one to pursue since, as a US resident, I struggled to make myself available for court dates in India.
This brings into focus how traumatic it is for the rape victims to pursue cases in India, something that Swati intends to change by refusing to be bogged down in the swamp of silence surrounding the subject of rape, by getting all stakeholders in one place and get a conversation started, and by pressing for deterrent measures to be taken as soon as possible, all this in an effort to overhaul the entire system dealing with sexual exploitation.
One of the first steps she took as part of the Rape Roko movement, was to send a list of her demands to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). She also started a campaign to collect a million signatures, protesting against the rape, and a missed call campaign, again to raise awareness. Volunteers from many educational institutes in Delhi have joined her in the campaign. She has also started a silent satyagraha since January 31, refusing to go home, working and sleeping in her office, even as thousands of volunteers and rape victims drop in to visit her. The satyagraha comes to an end March 8, International Women's Day, when she will address a public meeting in Delhi where several thousand are expected to attend.
She believes that unless there is certainty and swiftness of punishment, things won't change.
"Crimes are being committed with so much impunity because there is no fear anymore," she said. "These rapists live a normal life, on bail, while the victim continues to be raped by the system, over the next 16 years as she fights for justice. At least babies should be spared this ordeal."
"After the rape of the eight-month-old baby, whose cries still ring in my ears, I do not want to simply turn the page and move on. I would rather that there be a comma here, so I can focus and ensure that she gets justice. I have now made it a life goal to ensure that no child is ever raped in any part of the country", she says.
Besides the democratic processes involved in tackling the cases, it is important that people now take to the streets.
As Swatri put it, "In the case of the rape of seven-year-old Zainab in Pakistan, it is people who came onto the streets in large numbers, and the Pakistan courts were forced to sentence the rapists to multiple death sentences within a month of the crime. If Pakistan can do it, why not us?"
In Delhi, which has over the years become the rape capital of the world, crimes against women and children between 2012 and 2014 stood at 31,446. But there were only 150 convictions.
DCW was a toothless tiger, where women politicians were shunted to by the ruling party of the day. The last commissioner of DCW before Swati, Barkha Singh, who held the position for nine years, solved only one case in that time.
Just in six months in 2016, the DCW under Swati has already overseen 11,696 cases, attended to 316 thousand distress calls on the 181 helpline, conducted 7,500 grass roots visit, attended 5500 court cases, counselled 1869 sexual assault victims and made 55 recommendations for women's safety to the government, in just two years.
It is time it got some support.

Q: FragmentResultAPI with Fragments from different Navigation graphs I have FragmentA (belongs to main_nav_graph) whose layout contains a FragmentContainerView in which I load a secondary_nav_graph. FragmentB (child fragment) to be loaded in the container registers a fragmentResultListener in order to be triggered once a button from FragmentA (parent fragment) is clicked and consequently receive data from parent. This is not working because children fragment belong to a different navigation graph, in my case the secondary_nav_graph.
If the children fragments belong to no navigation graph and are loaded in the container by using the traditional way by calling inside the parent: getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame, new FragmentB()).commit(); it is going to work correctly.
Any idea how to make it work by having the children Fragment in a different Navigation graph?

In late 2007, 138 Muslim leaders from many parts of the world signed a letter addressed to the global Christian community. The letter is called A Common Word Between Us and You. Since its original release, more than 100 additional signatories have added their names. A significant initiative from the world's Muslim community, this letter represents an invitation to engage more deeply in peacemaking by two of the world's largest religious communities.
The United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) have each responded to the signatories, some of whom are members of our partner, the Arab Group for Muslim-Christian Dialogue. In addition, the World Council of Churches has also sent a response to the signatories, as well as encouraging its member churches to engage the letter, and Muslim neighbors.
Interfaith relations is an increasingly prevalent reality in North America, and we can learn a great deal from our own experience and that of partners in the Middle East and throughout the world. Here in the U.S., the UCC and Disciples are actively engaged in interfaith dialogue, both with the Jewish and Muslim communities. Information and resources about these are available on the National Council of Churches Interfaith Relations page.

I have been wanting to try yoga but I really don't like to be barefoot in public. It's partly a germ thing and partly because I'm self-conscious about my feet. Is it okay to wear socks during yoga? Will I be shunned?
Totally hear you on this one. I suffered from major feet anxiety before I discovered the joy of the regular mani/pedi (which is not just a luxury for girls, by the way!) Practically speaking, practicing asanas (poses) bare footed on a mat works best so you have enough traction to stay in place and hold the poses without slipping. But if it's foot coverage or bust for you, I'd go for socks, preferably some with rubber on the soles (or rubber-soled shoes that you don't wear outside).
Fear of looking weird, or of some stranger making fun of your athlete's foot, while totally natural, does not need to keep you from enjoying yoga. In fact, it can be yet another exercise in self-acceptance that yoga helps us to explore.

The Invisalign method consists of a series of custom-made clear trays that allow you to correct your smile in a discreet manner. The trays are made from durable, BPA-free thermoplastic material that firmly yet comfortably applies the pressure needed to move your teeth in a gradual manner.
The information gathered is sent to a trusted lab that will fabricate the series of thermoplastic trays. The reason thermoplastic is used is that it can tolerate large deflections and is fatigue resistant. That means that it's flexible and better accommodates the dynamic nature of the environment of your mouth.
The Invisalign method offers swift results. Where as traditional braces may require 24 months or more to correct your teeth, the Invisalign process is typically much faster, with some patients completing treatment in as little as eight to 12 months.
In addition to providing improved oral function, correcting your bite will also leave you feeling better about yourself. No longer will you be ashamed to smile when taking pictures, and you'll feel more confident about meeting new people.
A visit to your cosmetic dentist in Scripps Ranch gets the process started. Soon, you'll be on the road to smile perfection!
For over 25 years, Dr. Greg Friedman has been delivering the absolute best in dental care to his patients. A graduate of Washington University's School of Dental Medicine, he loves helping patients experience the joy of having a healthy and beautiful smile. Additionally, to stay abreast of the latest changes in the world of dentistry, Dr. Friedman maintains membership in several professional organizations and uses his continuously growing knowledge to benefit his patients at Mod Squad Dental.

Zambia's economy performed relatively well within the region despite the decline in the growth rate. This decline was largely a result of lower production in the mining sector compared to the year before as well as slower growth in manufacturing and public services.
In 2014, Uganda saw the consolidation of macroeconomic stability and a gradual recovery of economic activity. Real GDP growth in FY 2013/14 reached 4.5% (July 2013 through to June 2014), which was significantly weaker than expected (5.7%), mainly due to under-execution of externally financed public investment and depressed exports as demand from trading partners stalled.
Economic growth is expected to be 2.4% in 2014 (2.3% in 2013). The government had assumed 4% growth when drafting the 2014 budget, but the forecast was lowered to 2.8% in March 2014, two months after the inauguration of new prime minister Mehdi Jomâa.
GDP grew by an estimated 5.5% in 2014, and is projected to grow by 5.7% in 2015 and 5.9% in 2016, thanks to investment in economic infrastructure and agricultural reforms. The new Scantogo-Mines industrial complex will begin large-scale limestone mining in 2015 to produce clinker and cement locally.
The Tanzanian economy has continued to perform strongly, recording growth of 7.3% in 2013, up from 6.9% in 2012, driven by information and communications, construction, manufacturing and other services. Medium-term prospects are favourable, with growth projected to remain above 7%, supported by public investments in infrastructure, particularly in the transport and energy sectors.
Economic performance in Swaziland, as indicated by real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, slowed half of a percentage point from 3.0% in 2013 to 2.5% in 2014. The much-needed recovery from the 2011 fiscal crisis has not materialised.
Growth of Sudan's gross domestic product (GDP) has been estimated at 3.4% in 2014 and is projected at 3.1% and 3.7% in 2015 and 2016, respectively. GDP should be driven by rain-fed agriculture, minerals and oil-transit fees.
Although rich in natural resources, the economy is centred on oil production and subsistence agriculture: almost all intermediate and consumer goods are imported. In the past year, oil production accounted for 99% of exports, 95% of government revenue and about one-half of GDP.
The socio-economic indicators of Somalia remain very low. Somalia continues to be highly dependent on livestock production and exports with most exports going to Saudi Arabia. This reflects the country's narrow economic base and consequent high vulnerability to external shocks.
In 2014 South Africa's growth continued to slow down, recording only 1.5%, the weakest performance since the global financial crisis. The nation's economy was affected by its most protracted industrial action since the end of apartheid and significantly weak demand from trading partners.


Horror comedies seem to be the new fad in Bollywood after the roaring success of movies like Golmaal Again and Stree. Not that these were the first horror comedies in Bollywood, but maybe the audience has become way more receptive towards the genre. Here is the official announcement about another horror comedy in the pipeline. Titled Bhoot Police, this movie will star Fatima Sana Shaikh with Saif Ali Khan and Ali Fazal. The news about the actors; involvement with the film broke a few days back, but now it's official. Bhoot Police is quite a quirky title and it gives us a whiff of what the movie will be about.
"Ghost hunting is a hilariously spooky business," Fatima confirms the plot with her Instagram caption. Bhoot Police will be an immersive experience as it is going to be shot in 3D. The makers have also announced that this will be the first film in the intended franchise. For Fox Star Studios, the movie will be helmed by Pavan Kirpalani, known for directing supernatural thrillers like Radhika Apte's Phobia and Rajkummar Rao's Ragini MMS in the past.
Bhoot Police is the collaborative effort of multiple writers including Pavan, Anuvab Pal, Sumit Batheja & Pooja Ladha Surti. While the announcement happened today, the movie won't go on the floors until August. Saif Ali Khan Starrer Tantrik Is Now Titled Bhoot Police; To Be Directed By Pawan Kriplani.

Q: iterating over two vectors iterators faster than boost_foreach For some reason Iterator are performing much faster than  BOOST FOREACH while iterating over two vectors... I am using visual studio 2012 with optimization enabled. Below are the two pieces of code I compared it with... Am I missing something?
typedef boost::tuple<int&, int&> int_ref_tuple;
BOOST_FOREACH(int_ref_tuple tup, boost::combine(v1, v2))
tup.get<0>() = tup.get<1>();

vs
vector<int>::iterator iIter = v1.begin();
vector<int>::const_iterator jIter = v2.begin();
for (;iIter != v1.end();++iIter, ++jIter)
{
         //this is faster
}

A: Try :
BOOST_FOREACH(int_ref_tuple &tup, boost::combine(v1, v2))

Q: How can I use Axios to get an array of files to give to Pizzip to generate a .zip archive? Here's the documentation for Pizzip for those unfamiliar: https://github.com/open-xml-templating/pizzip/tree/master/documentation
Also, I'm using VueJS (2), ES6, TS
I am trying to download individual files with Axios and then put them into a zip file using Pizzip.
async getFile(mat: Material): Promise<any> {
    try {
      const file = await axios.get(mat.url, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' })
      return file.data
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error)
      return {}
    }
}

This is giving me the ArrayBuffer correctly. Then I have the following:
async getZip() {
    let zip = new pizzip()
    this.materials.forEach(async mat => {
        const record = await PortalService.getFile(mat)
        console.log(record) // logs the ArrayBuffer
        zip.file(mat.name, record)
    })
    let files = zip.generate({ type: 'blob' })
    return saveAs(files, `${this.request.id}-files.zip`)
}

Pizzip docs said that the data argument of zip.file() can be of type ArrayBuffer, but when I download the zip it's just an empty archive. I've tried using the optional options parameter for zip.file(), but nothing has worked. Thank you in advance.

A: The issue is probably to do with the async for-loop. The forEach method does not support async loop functions; it will just execute each iteration without waiting for the previous to finish. So basically you're generating the zip file before any files had been added to it.
There are two ways you can handle this:

*

*Fire all requests concurrently and wait for them all to finish. This will be faster since it is sending the requests concurrently, but be careful not to spam hundreds of requests at once!

await Promise.all(this.materials.map(async mat => {
  const record = await PortalService.getFile(mat)
  zip.file(mat.name, record)
}))

*Fire each request sequentially, one at a time. Slower, but doesn't spam requests.

for (const mat of this.materials) {
  const record = await PortalService.getFile(mat)
  zip.file(mat.name, record)
}


OCD is sometimes accompanied by depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other anxiety disorders. When a person also has other disorders, OCD is often more difficult to diagnose and treat. Symptoms of OCD can also coexist and may even be part of a spectrum of neurological disorders, such as Tourette's syndrome. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of other disorders are important to successful treatment of OCD.
