•Full length forcing screws provide greater versatility with the minimum capacity always being "0". •Strongest C-clamp design. •Heavy-duty threaded hub provides maximum screw support. •Forcing screws have a square head to be turned with a wrench. •Forcing screws have a hardened tip.


IN AN EARLY 2000 PAPER that persuasively and amusingly foretold the peak of the tech bubble, Cliff Asness of AQR Capital labeled the very upper range of a long-term market-valuation chart, where stocks then traded, "Here be dragons."
This early cartographer's tag for ocean reaches yet-unexplored (or unreturned from) could be applied to an exceptional number of long-term charts today, as various market dynamics have broken bounds that long contained them. High-yield spreads far exceed anything observed since some bonds were called high-yield. In a half-year, the Baltic Dry shipping index fell 95%, to its recent low. The gold/oil ratio, while not technically at a new high, recently visited levels reached only fleetingly before.
Dividend yields nosed above 10-year Treasury rates for the first time in 50 years. And the CBOE Volatility index's remaining above 50 from mid-September into December is rather like 40 days and nights of rain. These are the sorts of anomalous manifestations of an epochal de-leveraging that have fouled familiar signals of sentiment, valuation and market rhythm. And they strongly hint that what we're seeing is market-climate change -- not mere weather fluctuation.
It means that playing the reversion to any mean-in valuation, stock-bond relationships etc. -- that covers only the post-1990, or post-'82, period won't be nearly the high-probability bet it used to be. Until we get more hints of capital-market stabilization or an unclenching of extreme risk aversion, the chosen courses of many thoughtful market survivors have been either to shorten the trading time horizon to minutes or days to feed on the familiar darting moves, or dramatically lengthen investment horizons to years by seeking quality on sale and making friends with time.
Advantages that don't bring success become indictments. If the Yankees fail to win pretty much everything in 2009, having bought the three best players on the market for $423 million in a month, it will suggest something rotten at the team's core. If the new film Marley & Me flops despite star Jennifer Aniston's appearance, in various states of undress, on the current covers of magazines with a combined circulation of nine million, it will mean the movie is truly a dog. And if a stock market that's now endowed with a handful of decent seasonal and mechanical excuses to rally off the lower end of the December range doesn't, it will suggest that the liquidation in force since September hasn't run its course.
The market's short-term advantages include a strong historical record for the last week of a calendar year, likely asset-allocation shifts away from cash and Treasuries into equities and credit instruments, and the makings of a pronounced "January effect" outperformance by smaller and riskier securities. Failure to translate these into a lift for stocks will add to valid concerns about whether the recent lows can be trusted.
WHAT APPEAR TO BE TAX-MOTIVATED MOVES by several big U.S. companies to reincorporate in Europe are creating the kind of mechanical, dog-wagging stock swings that offer investors opportunity. Several companies nominally domiciled in places such as Bermuda are heading to Switzerland or Ireland in anticipation of Democrat-led efforts to withhold tax advantages for U.S. companies in traditional havens.
Transocean (ticker: RIG), Weatherford International (WFT) and others have done so. A secondary result is actual or likely ejection from the S&P 500, which includes only U.S.-based companies and those S&P deems to be effectively American despite incorporation elsewhere.
Shares of Transocean in particular have been hammered since its October announcement of its move and its more recent formal ejection from the S&P, as passive and long-only investors exited. As a bullish feature on Barron's Online noted last week (Weekday Trader, Dec. 24), it has unduly cheapened the stock and made it attractive for those seeking a stabilizing oil price and good balance sheets. Another driller, Noble Corp (NE), also is moving to Switzerland, yet its shares have outpaced Transocean's by more than 15% since October. If, as is presumed, Noble will also be leaving the S&P and thus should come under renewed selling pressure, one could short Noble against Transocean to capture some closing of the gap.

Q: Possible to access variable $x in some satisfies expression? XPATH 2 3 I created a variable to store the extensions of entities which I can use to build NOTATION statements:
<xsl:variable name="notations">
              <xsl:for-each select="//@infoEntityIdent">
                <xsl:variable name="uri" as="xs:anyURI" select="unparsed-entity-uri(.)"/>
              <xsl:analyze-string select="$uri" regex="([^.]*$)">
                <xsl:matching-substring>
                  <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>
                </xsl:matching-substring>
              </xsl:analyze-string>
                <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
              </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

I wanted to try the some/satisfies expression, but the $x is out of scope in the <xsl:text>
    <xsl:if test="some $x in $notations satisfies matches($x,'svg', 'i')">
          <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes" expand-text="1"><!NOTATION {$x} SYSTEM "SVG"></xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="some $x in $notations satisfies matches($x,'jpg', 'i')">
          <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes" expand-text="1"><!NOTATION {$x} SYSTEM "JPG"></xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>

If I can't access the $x then I'll have to hard-code 'SVG' and use upper-case() on the entity to ensure the cases match.
<xsl:if test="some $x in $notations satisfies matches($x,'svg', 'i')">
              <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes><!NOTATION SVG SYSTEM "SVG"></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>

Otherwise, I'm using a loop with distinct-values() and tokenize().
<xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(tokenize($notations))">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="matches(.,'svg', 'i')">
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes" expand-text="1"><!NOTATION {.} SYSTEM "SVG"></xsl:text>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="matches(.,'JPG','i')">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes" expand-text="1"><!NOTATION {.} SYSTEM "image/jpeg"></xsl:text>
  </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
      <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

Following allegations and counter-allegations by community residents and security personnel over the death of two young men on Monday 21st January, 2019 in Sahn Malen Chiefdom, Pujehun District, Socfin Agricultural Company which operates hundreds of acres of oil palm plantation in the chiefdom has finally issued a statement with regards its own version of the incident.
According to the management of the agricultural company, on Wednesday 16th January, 2019, the company's agricultural department closed following the arrival of the Independent Member of Parliament (MP) for Constituency 104 in the Sahn Malen Chiefdom, when workers failed to show up for work on that day.
The company continued that its management was informed by the workers that they would not come to work due to the intimidation from certain irate youths, many of them alleged to be high on drugs and not from Sahn Malen Chiefdom.
The irate youths, the management said, were planning to involve the secret society in various parts of the chiefdom without the authorization of the Paramount Chief.
"Havoc and Chaos continued the following days and during all that period, mass organized fruit theft continued and many areas of the company's plantation were no-go zones for even the police," said Socfin Management, noting that the Resident Minister, South on Sunday, 20th January, 2019 visited Sahn Malen to look into a dispute over a plot of land in Sahn Town which the Independent MP wanted to build a Constituency office on and to ensure that peace reigns.
The Resident Minister was said to have met with the General Manager of Socfin where the secret 'poro' society and land dispute were discussed and an agreement was reached for additional protection to Socfin, adding that the Resident Minister twice engaged the people through the Chiefdom Community Radio.
Following the Resident Minister's radio broadcast, intelligence revealed that the secret 'poro' society was to come out and panic eventually gripped the people who started fleeing the chiefdom.
Report added that a joint security of military and police personnel deployed in areas of strategic importance to Socfin Agricultural Company and on Monday 21st January, 2019, a large gang of youths attacked the joint security personnel stationed at Jao Junction in Upper Sahn Malen that resulted to the clash.

EU Could End Reliance On Chinese Battery Supply Chain By 2030 Says T&E
Coal Mine Starts Continue To Decline
Originally published by the US Energy Information Administration
The number of new and reactivated coal mines that began production in 2013 fell to the lowest level in at least the past 10 years. The addition of 103 mines in 2013 came as 271 mines were idled or closed, resulting in a 14% decline in the total number of producing coal mines from 2012 to 2013. The 2013 total was 397 fewer coal mines than in 2008, when coal production was at its highest. Although preliminary 2014 data on coal production from the Mine Safety and Health Administration indicate a slight increase both in production and in new and reactivated mines for 2014, these levels will still be below previous levels.
The declining number of new mines reflects reduced investment in the coal industry, strong competition from natural gas, stagnant electricity demand, a weak coal export market, and regulatory and permitting challenges. The lower number of new mines and the closing of less-efficient mines resulted in 2013 having the lowest number of active coal mines on record.
The opening, reopening, and idling or closing of mines serves as a measure of coal industry growth or contraction. The number of mines fluctuates with the demand for coal, almost all of which is used to produce electricity. Examples of this fluctuation can be seen in 2008, when higher coal demand increased the number of new mines, and in 2010, when lower coal demand led to fewer new mines and more idled mines.
Appalachian mines have lower average production than mines in the Western and Interior regions. For instance, in 2013, 877 Appalachian mines produced 270 million short tons of coal compared with 52 Western region mines that produced 530 million short tons. With relatively low average output per mine, the Appalachian region often makes up the largest share of new and reactivated mines, and in years with fewer mine additions, the Appalachian region also makes up most of the decline in new or reactivated mines.
New and reactivated mines help to provide replacement capacity for mines that are idled. Between 2009 and 2013, new and reactivated mines accounted for 63 million short tons of production in their first year, falling short of the 114 million tons of lost production from the last year of production by mines idled between 2008 and 2012.

Swing State Voters Grow Impatient for Manufacturing Jobs
Poll reveals frustration with Trump over stalled agenda, but data suggest slide has stabilized
Voters in three key swing states President Donald Trump flipped from blue to red last year are growing impatient for him to deliver on his promise to reverse a long slide in manufacturing jobs.
On the campaign trail, Trump often promised that manufacturing jobs would come "pouring back" into the United States.
But a Marist poll released Monday indicates that voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are dissatisfied with progress on manufacturing jobs. Asked if Trump is "winning" or "losing" on manufacturing jobs, more voters in all three states said "losing." The numbers were 47 percent to 36 percent in Michigan, 51 percent to 36 percent in Pennsylvania, and 48 percent to 37 percent in Wisconsin.
[lz_ndn video=32862980]
The poll was overall brutal for Trump: A majority in all three states disapprove of his job performance.
"For residents of these three critical electoral states, the reaction to the first round of the Trump presidency is decidedly negative," Marist College Institute for Public Opinion Director Lee Miringoff said in a prepared statement. "Residents are clearly dissatisfied in how candidate Trump transitioned into President Trump."
The negativity contrasts with Bureau of Labor Statistics data suggesting that manufacturing employment at least has stabilized.
Preliminary figures for July show 12.425 million manufacturing employees, up 0.5 percent since January. Manufacturing jobs also are up 0.5 percent in Wisconsin. Employment in the sector has been flat in Michigan and Pennsylvania. For Pennsylvania, flat represents an improvement. The state experienced a month-over-month job loss in the sector in 19 out of 20 months from May 2015 — when the state had 569,900 manufacturing employees — until January of this year.
On the one hand, it probably is unrealistic to expect immediate results on the economy from any president. The stock market has rallied since the election on investors' expectations of tax cuts, and consumer confidence is up in surveys. Trump also has used the power of the pen to roll back some business regulations.
But it takes time to implement most policy changes. Congress has not yet even taken up tax reform, let alone passed it. Even if Trump does sign tax cuts into law, it will take time for the effects to work their way through the economy. The president has begun reviews of trade policies and has started renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
But those efforts, too, are in their early stages.
"Candidate Trump promised big results, and he promised them quickly. I do think it is fair to hold him to his own words."
Still, economic policy analyst Alan Tonelson noted that Trump himself helped set high expectations.
"Candidate Trump promised big results, and he promised them quickly," he said. "I do think it is fair to hold him to his own words."
Tonelson, founder of the RealityChek blog on the economy, said America added 16,000 manufacturing jobs in July. That was the best month since February, when the economy created 22,000 jobs in the sector. And he noted that the government revised its June figures upward by 11,000 jobs.
The 12 months from July 2016 to last month saw a 66,000-job increase in the manufacturing sector. After losing 2.293 million manufacturing jobs from the end of 2007 through early 2010, the economy has added back 972,000 jobs in the troubled sector. That is slower than the increase in all private-sector jobs but headed in the right direction, Tonelson said.
And the new jobs have done little to boost incomes. Adjusted for inflation, manufacturing wages in the United States have risen only 1.59 percent since June 2009, compared with a 4.56 percent increase in all non-farm, private-sector jobs.
"One of the reasons for the lack of enthusiasm in the so-called Rust Belt states … is [that] wages have done terribly," said Tonelson.
The wage stagnation has persisted despite a declining unemployment rate. Tonelson said he believes a major reason for this is that manufacturers are not confined to the U.S. labor pool. They can open plants in dozens of low-wage countries. In that environment, he said, it is not even necessary for companies to make overt threats to discourage employee demands for pay raises.
Ron Hira, a Howard University professor and research associate at the liberal-leaning Economic Policy Institute, told LifeZette that the flat wages are one of the biggest economy mysteries.
"It's a mystery we could solve," he said, "but one that no one has the inclination to solve."

A Triad and True Deterrence Method
May 14, 2015 | By Susan Katz-Keating
The three-branched nuclear weapons delivery triad remains a vital component of US defense, said Maj. Gen. Garrett Harencak, assistant chief of staff for strategic deterrence and nuclear integration, during an AFA and industry-sponsored breakfast event Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Acknowledging the triad—consisting of strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles—is an emotionally charged issue to many observers, Harencak said the weapons, nonetheless, are essential to western society. "The world is not safer today" than it was during the Cold War, Harencak said. "Capabilities take years," he added, alluding to potential enemies. "People would rather not have nuclear weapons," Harencak said. "I get that … Our goal is to work toward a nuclear-free world," but the world community is not likely to forswear violence and "hug it out," he added. No military leader wants to walk into the Oval Office in the aftermath of an attack and be in the position of saying, "Mister President, we cannot neutralize that threat," Harencak said. Hence, the continued need for a strong nuclear triad. "Nothing says stability more than ICBMs over all 50 states," he said. "My best military advice is, 'be prepared.'"

Q: Android studio gradle build issues new appcompat / buildtools Every time when new updates for
appcompat-v4,
appcompat-v7 or
buildToolsVersion arrives
and updated in my application i have to spend like a full day fixing all kind of build errors.
For example i have changed the buildToolsVersion from 23.0.1 to 23.1.1
rebuilding the project results in loads of errors like
Error:(55, 35) error: package com.google.android.gms.plus does not exist

I know for sure i have included the gcm dependency. So i start cleaning and deleting files. After a while i manage to rebuild, but then i get an error saying:
error: package android.support.v7.internal.widget does not exist

And this keeps on going for a while.
To me the whole gradle is extremely hard to work with in large projects (many submodules, deps etc). Once you have it working it is fine, but its like a massive unstable structure ready to collapse once you apply a small change.
Anyone experienced similar issues and have found a way to make the migrations to newer versions easier?

Fermented cheese whey can reduce symptoms of atherosclerosis
Thursday, October 11, 2018 by: Ralph Flores

(Natural News) Whey might be a byproduct of the cheese-making process, but it's still an excellent source of essential nutrients. Those from traditional fermented cheese, in particular, can even prevent atherosclerosis, according to researchers from Xinjiang Medical University in China. The study, which was published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, looked at whether whey from traditional fermented cheese can improve symptoms of atherosclerosis. It also identified lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts present in the liquid.
To determine the efficacy of whey from traditional fermented cheese, researchers used a rabbit model to mimic the effects of atherosclerosis, that is, the abnormal buildup of plaque in the arteries. Atherosclerosis may look harmless at its onset – but it's the precursor of most cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease and peripheral artery disease, and chronic kidney diseases. In the study, researchers looked at whey, in particular, its traditional use among the Kazakh people as a blood lipid regulator. This claim had been previously supported during earlier attempts to understand whey, with studies concluding that it contained active peptides that reduce atherosclerosis and protect the cardiovascular system from various risk factors. The probiotic content of whey, especially Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and the presence of yeast species such as Saccharomyces boulardi were also noted to greatly contribute to its anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating effects.
For this study, researchers induced atherosclerosis in rabbits by feeding them a standard chow diet fortified with lard, sugar, and cholesterol for 12 weeks. After the rabbits had started to develop plaques around their arteries, researchers treated them with either whey from traditional fermented cheese or simvastatin, a common drug for reducing lipid levels. The rabbits were given their assigned treatment once daily for four weeks, after which the researchers took blood samples from the abdominal aorta for further testing. The aorta was also harvested for tissue analysis. In vitro studies were also conducted to determine the LAB and yeast content of whey from traditional fermented cheese.
The findings revealed that treatments with whey significantly improved the rabbits' lipid profile and reduced all atherogenic biomarkers. This indicated that whey from traditional fermented cheese had a preventive effect against plaque buildup, a hallmark symptom of atherosclerosis. Researchers also identified seven LAB species in whey, including L. casei, L. helveticus, L. plantarum, and L. lactis, which they believed gave whey its cardioprotective effects. Earlier research had established that consuming probiotic-rich foods could greatly improve cholesterol levels, minimizing the risk for cardiovascular diseases. Researchers also found that whey from fermented cheese contained the fungus S. unisporus and a closer analysis revealed the presence of palmitoleic acid, a compound with potent antioxidant properties. This is an important quality of whey, as the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, especially in blood vessel walls, is a key factor in atherosclerosis.
"[The] current study indicates that 7 LAB and 2 yeasts identified from TFCW [traditional fermented cheese whey]…have significant anti-atherosclerotic potential in atherosclerotic rabbits and may modulate lipid metabolism and protect [the] aorta in the atherosclerotic condition," researchers concluded in their report. (Related: Atherosclerosis and inflammation: How to overcome it naturally.)
Naturally cleaning your arteries with food
Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality in the world, usually starts with atherosclerosis. Here are some foods that you can eat to prevent plaque buildup in your arteries.
Asparagus – It's full of fiber and can help prevent blood clots.
Avocado – Using it as a replacement for salads can reduce blood pressure.
Broccoli – Eating up to three servings of broccoli in a week activates sulforaphane, a compound that prevents plaque buildup.
Fatty fish – Mackerel, salmon, sardines, herring, and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which reduce blood vessel inflammation.
Spinach – One serving of spinach can help reduce homocysteine levels, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

Emmanuel Kwame Keyekeh (born 21 December 1997) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as midfielder for Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko S.C. He previously played for Unistar Academy and Karela United.

Club career

Early career
Keyekeh started his career with Ghana Division One League side Unistar Academy and played there for 5 years before securing a move to Nzema-based club Karela United.

Karela United
Keyekeh signed a three-year deal with Karela United in December 2017. He made his debut in the Ghana Premier League on 25 March 2018 in a 1–1 draw against Eleven Wonders FC, coming on in the 66th minute for Jean Vital Ourega. He later went on to make 9 league appearances in the 2018 Ghanaian Premier League, before the league was cancelled due to the dissolution of the GFA in June 2018, as a result of the Anas Number 12 Expose. During the 2019 GFA Normalization Committee Special Competition, he became a key member squad and featured in all 14 league matches to help Karela place second behind Hearts of Oak in group B.  At the end of the competition, there were reports that Nigerian club Enyimba FC and Ghanaian club Kumasi Asante Kotoko had shown interest in signing him but no deals were reached with either clubs. He however went on to play 11 league matches and was adjudged the man of the match three times in 2019–20 Ghana Premier League before the league was put on hold and later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asante Kotoko
In early September 2020, there were reports that Asante Kotoko had signed Keyekeh. He was also linked to other top Ghanaian teams Hearts of Oak, Aduana Stars and Legon Cities FC. On 30 September 2020, Asante Kotoko announced that they had signed him to bolster Maxwell Konadu's squad ahead of their CAF Champions League campaign and the 2020–21 Ghana Premier League. He signed a 3-year deal after successful negotiations and completing his mandatory medical examination. He featured for the club in their 2020–21 CAF Champions League campaign. On 29 November 2020, he played 45 minutes of a 1–1 draw against FC Nouadhibou before being substituted for Sulley Muniru at half-time. He made his league debut on the 15 November 2020 in a 1–1 draw against Eleven Wonders FC, he came on in the 84th minute for Ibrahim Osman to make a cameo appearance.

Style of play
Keyekeh operates as a central midfielder and a defensive midfielder. Due to his role as a box-to-box midfielder he has been compared to Michael Essien and Yaya Toure. Based on his role as a midfielder Keyekeh idolises the African duo along with Kevin De Bruyne, Paul Pogba and Sulley Muntari. He sees them as his role models and draws inspirations and tips from them to improve his game. As a box-to-box midfielder he has the ability to exert energy in supporting both offensive and defensive play. His physicality during a match is shown in his powerful and tough tackling playing style.

Columnist Purna Virji explains why an AI-driven conversation agent can potentially be the best sales assistant you have, and provides advice for how to plan and implement your own chatbot.
Think back to five short years ago: Facebook IPO'd; Oxford American Dictionary named "gif" its word of the year; and your only options to order pizza were by phone or on a website.
Five years! It seems like forever ago.
Now, Facebook stock has only gone up since its much-decried stock market debut, gifs are old hat (though the "jif" vs. "gif" pronunciation debate rages on), and you can order pizza by text, chatbot, Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana and more.
It's not just pizza. New technology is changing the way we behave as consumers and marketers. The landing page, once the internet's gatekeeper and conversion hotspot, is becoming unessential. It's a middleman that's growing middle-aged and might not know what "the cool thing" is anymore.
The new conversion platform for brands and commerce?
Where the conversation happens matters.
According to a 2016 Ovum study, 53 percent of American and German respondents stated that they favor talking with businesses through chat apps versus the phone, mainly because of speed and convenience.
Meanwhile, 50.6 percent of consumers responding to a 2016 Ubisend survey said they believed that a business should be able to respond to their queries 24/7.
So, we have soaring usage of messaging apps, and a considerable number of our customers who believe we should be contactable 24/7. But staffing a customer service center 24/7 is costly and expends human capital by the bucketload.
Created by Microsoft (my employer) in 2014, XiaoIce is an AI chatbot that is based in part on Bing's search technology. She's designed to have a high IQ, as well as high EQ (Emotional Quotient, or emotional intelligence), to help her build strong bonds and connections with humans.
She's able to remember and learn from previous conversations, and she is sensitive to emotions. For example, if you chat with her about a relationship ending, she'll put you on a 33-day break-up recovery plan, checking in with you throughout.
To say she is popular would be an understatement. In just her first three days, XiaoIce was added to 1.5 million conversations on WeChat. On Weibo, she's one of the most popular celebrity accounts. Can you imagine a bot having celebrity status? She has approximately 40 million users in China, with incredible engagement stats. The average conversation with her lasts 26 turns, and one out of four users has even said "I love you" to her!
What we learned from Xiaoice is that people want their tech to be approachable and to adjust to the way we communicate.
WeChat has proven just how profitable that can be.
Did you know, over half of WeChat's 938 million monthly active users have linked their bank cards to the app? They can easily do a staggering number of tasks — from booking a flight to booking a doctor's appointment to ordering a new pair of shoes — all without leaving the app.
That's got to be worth a lot of money, right?
According to estimates by Nomura, WeChat's average annual revenue per user is $7, compared to $1 per user on WhatsApp.
There are three key steps you need to take to bring your bot from being a twinkle in your eye to the online version of your best salesperson.
You can't solve world peace with your bot (at least, not yet).
What you can do is consult with your customer service teams, conduct surveys and read customer feedback from as many avenues as possible in order to pinpoint key customer issues. Can a bot address any of these?
If not, then other options include building a bot whose purpose is solely to engage in a fresh new way with customers, or save time and resources relating to customer service.
Let's think about a bank, for example. It's quite likely that they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each month handling repetitive calls like a balance inquiry.
Now, even though it's a quick question, it usually takes three or four minutes, with the security questions and hold time factored in. It's not the best customer service experience, and it costs the business a lot of money.
But what if the bank had a chatbot? It would be easy to just use the phone verification (fingerprint in iPhone, for example) and answer the question via a bot.
This bot saves the bank money and improves the customer experience. It's a win-win. Think about how this could apply to your own business.
Your users already have multiple options to interact with you, such as your website or app, so how can your bot compete for attention? Good planning is the key, especially when it comes to the user experience.
The experience needs to make sense to them and appear seamless. The most important consideration is making interaction as easy as possible for your customer. Look at the two options below. Which one do you think is easier?
Example 2 is easier because the user doesn't have to type anything, and the options are foreshadowed and one tap away. A combination of typing, talking and tapping can make the interaction a lot easier for your customer.
In all of this, remember to make it feel as personal as possible. When the bot addresses the user with, "Hello, Anonymous," it comes across as rude and impersonal, like an uninterested shop assistant. The bot should ask the user their name, creating a rapport.

SMALL BUSINESS: Incentives for those in the zones
New program offers cut-rate loans of $30,000 to $300,000
victoria gordon
Last year, when nicholas Comaianni began looking for a site to produce his new environmentally friendly paint, he had a very good reason for choosing East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He knew how badly the state of New York wanted to turn the gritty neighborhood around.
For years, the state has offered businesses based in its 52 designated economic development zones-including East Williamsburg, which is part of the North Brooklyn-Brooklyn Navy Yard zone-incentives ranging from tax credits to savings on gas bills. Now, though, it has sweetened the pot. Under a program that began this year, companies like Mr. Comaianni's Architectural Coatings Inc. are eligible for cut-rate loans.
The program offers loans of anywhere from $30,000 to $300,000 to businesses located in the state's EDZs, including its nine EDZs in New York City. The credits are being offered by the Statewide Zone Capital Corp. and currently carry an interest rate of 7%.
Up to 50% of project cost
The borrowings can be used for working capital, as well as for buying equipment and acquiring or building property. Loan amounts are not to exceed 50% of the total project cost.
The purpose of the new program is to "promote the expansion and growth of new and existing businesses," says Robert W. Lazar, president of Statewide, a private, for-profit fund that pools money from different financial institutions and lends it to small businesses.
Companies interested in obtaining a loan from Statewide must apply through their own zone's board. Zone administrators will assay everything from the stability of the companies applying for a loan and their commitment to remaining in the neighborhood, to how many local people they can employ.
Already, though, it is clear that officials in the different zones will likely emphasize slightly different criteria.
In the North Brooklyn zone, for example, the most important reasons to recommend a loan for a local company are to allow it to create jobs and to keep it from leaving, according to Margo Flug, the East Williamsburg Valley Industrial Development Corp.'s economic development zone coordinator.
Meanwhile, officials at the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corp. are hopeful that the new loan pool will do more than allow local companies to expand operations and, crucially, staffing levels.
They are also hopeful, according to Neil W. Pariser, senior vice president of the SBOEDC, that the loans will prime the financial pump and make it easier for private commercial banks to justify lending on their own.
In the Hunts Point section of the Bronx, the local development corporation has similar ambitions for its 650 businesses, many of which are food distributors and automotive service and equipment providers.
Supplemental money
Josephine Infante, executive director of the Hunts Point Economic Development Corp., says that she hopes to steer Statewide's credits to smaller businesses located in her EDZ for use either for equipment or as working capital. She sees the loans as supplementing other, possibly larger, grants or private loans.
Most officials connected with the program also admit that they will probably favor older, well-established firms because of their proven track record, although start-ups will certainly be considered.
Final approval of loans is a decision that rests with Statewide. Understandably, one of the most important criteria will be the applicant's ability to pay off the loan.
Statewide is still struggling to line up its own funding. So far, its stock offering, which runs through September, has raised only $15.3 million, according to Mr. Lazar. That is still far short of its target of $40 million.

The film, which will be released on September 27, 2019, follows Garland in the year 1968, when she was performing for five weeks at the Talk of the Town nightclub in London. Tragically, the starlet died from a barbiturate overdose a year later at age 47.
In the trailer, we see Garland's financial woes ("You're saying I have to leave my children if I want to make enough money to be with my children?," she asks in one clip), her relationship with her children (Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft), her marriage to manager Mickey Dea, and the many ups and downs she faced in the public eye.
In one clip, she is seen being turned away at a hotel for unpaid bills, prompting her to open a bottle of pills in the car. "Mom, please don't go to sleep now," her daughter pleads, as Zellweger responds: "No, no, these are the other ones."

In an interview with Town & Country, Zellweger, 50, was asked if she thought Garland would've fared better in modern Hollywood.
"Perhaps," she said. "And perhaps I don't know. Because then you see stories like Amy Winehouse and you just wonder why?"
The former Bridget Jones actress told PEOPLE she prepared for the role by taking music and choreography lessons, as well as spending two hours each day in the makeup chair while prosthetics, contact lenses and wigs were applied. Zellweger indeed will sing Garland's famed tunes in the film, including "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz.

"It was such a joy learning about the magnificence of this person," she said. "I always admired her. She was so quick and so funny. She could hit the ball back with the best of them."
The film is directed by Rupert Goold and based on Peter Quilter's musical "End of the Rainbow."
