Inject Summer League-Korkmaz into my veins.
Draft-and stash players, along with acquiring first round draft pick swaps, are amongst Philadelphia process truster's favorite assets. Furkan Korkmaz is no exception.
At first, Sixers fans were not even sure if this was the best Furkan the city has seen in the last five years. Tonight, Korkmaz proved he was better than the renowned rebound-machine that is Furkan Aldemir.
I only compare the two for their names really. Aldemir came into a depleted, process-filled roster for a season or so of hard work and grit. Compared to how last season's injury ended Korkmaz's chances to impress, consider me now impressed. He's now looking like a successful draft-and-stash player that we all knew he could be.
I definitely didn't know I would feel like that for Korkmaz before last night. Now I know he can play. Clearly the best player on the court for major stretches of the contest, Korkmaz still wasn't able to lead his team over what'll be Sixers' only threat at the Eastern Conference throne for years to come, the Boston Celtics.
And against a defensive-minded player like Semi Ojeleye too! Korkmaz sprayed his magical 3-point shooting fingers all over the court Friday night. And yes, while you were out on a beautiful Friday night, I was in witnessing the birth of Korkmaz. Walking out of the fiery eggs like the Daenerys' dragons on Game of Thrones, I witnessed a bit of Sixers history.
Korkmaz flat-out worked himself into next year's rotation.
After not grabbing LeBron, PG13 and seemingly Kawhi now too, the Sixers will still certainly need help on the wings. First-team All Defensive member Robert Covington cannot do it all by himself – even as a bonafide three and D stud.
Following a serviceable trade with Denver for a potential picks swap and Wilson Chandler's expiring contract and much-needed wing play, Korkmaz has a challenger for that backup position. I mean we're dealing with the Best Young Player in Europe before he came over, competing against the aged and worn out Wilson Chandler. Will Korkmaz take the extra step to elevate his game from last season's status as a reserve benchwarmer, or will he continue to kill it like this in Summer League and pick up a consistent offensive game?
Only time will tell. You better believe I'll be rooting for that beautiful Turk.


The arbitral tribunal in The Hague.
SINGAPORE — President Duterte assured Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on Friday night that he will address at the right time the Philippine's victory on the arbitral tribunal decision over its dispute with China over the West Philippine Sea.
The two leaders met for a bilateral meeting at the sidelines of the 32nd Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) leaders' summit here.
"The President made it clear that he will address the arbitral award in due time," Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told reporters as he noted this was for him "important" given that this was the first time he heard President Duterte made a statement that he would not abandon and would not set aside the arbitral ruling.
The President made the statement to Nguyen whose country happens to be also vocal about its opposition to China's expansion activities in the disputed South China Sea.
"I guess he wanted it clear that we were not abandoning, ignoring or setting aside the arbitral tribunal decision which was in our favor and he will deal with the arbitral tribunal in due course, not right now but in the right time," Roque said.
Roque said it was Nguyen who brought the issue up to President Duterte because the latter was appealing for support for a joint filing of Malaysia and Vietnam's claim on an extended continental shelf in the South China Sea.
He said Nguyen was lobbying to other countries to support its submission.
Roque said that Nguyen praised the position of the President on his statements on the arbitral award.
With this statement that the President was not abandoning the arbitral award, Roque expressed hope that Supreme Court Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio and all other critics of the President "will now keep quiet because this is now a statement of the Philippine president to another head of state that he will not abandon, he is not reneging, relinquishing or ignoring in any way" the arbitral decision.
Roque also said Nguyen praised the President's way of handling China.
Asked whether China will act negatively on the President's discussion with Nguyen about the South China Sea issue, he replied in the negative, adding that both countries have their own bilateral discussions as well.

Q: Generalized Gaussian Noise generator in matlab I need to create Generalized Gaussian Noise generator in Matlab.
GGN is a random signal v of following distribution:
v ~ GN(mi, alfa, beta) :

p(v; mi, alfa, beta) = (beta/(2*alfa*gamma(1/beta))) * exp(-(abs(v - mi)/alfa).^beta )

Where p is the probablility counted for value v.
Note, that gamma is built in Matlab function that computes the value of Gamma function.
I was trying to create the generator in following way:
function gn = GN(dim1, dim2, mi, alfa, beta)
gn = zeros(dim1, dim2);
for i=1:dim1
    for j=1:dim2
        v = mi + 10*(alfa^2)* rand(1) - 5*(alfa^2);
        prob = rand(1);
        while(p(v, mi, alfa, beta) < prob)
            v = mi + 10*alfa* rand(1) - 5*alfa;
            prob = rand(1);
        end
        gn(i,j) = v;
    end
end

function pval = p(v, mi, alfa, beta)
pval = (beta/(2*alfa*gamma(1/beta))) * exp(-(abs(v - mi)/alfa).^beta );

But the loop seems to be infinite, somethings wrong.
Note also, that for:
beta = 2 this generator should return values equal to normal gaussian distribution with mean value mi and standard deviation alfa^2/2
Edit
OK, Doug pointed me in the right direction. We need to create the v value that is more or less probable to be selected (I assumed, that 10* std is quite good) and then check the probability condition.
It is also important to draw a new prob value for each probability check (in while loop).
So the problem is SOLVED
Note, that this generator allows you to generate:
- Gaussian noise for beta = 2
- Laplasian (impulse) noise for beta = 1

A: I tried this and it worked fine.  Note that I set the random threshold to the most random number ever, 0.1 (a valid choice from [0 1]). pval must be great than prob to be accepted.
>> GN(2,2,1,1,2)

prob =

    0.1000

pval =

    0.4738

prob =

    0.1000

pval =

    0.2674

prob =

    0.1000

pval =

    0.4885

prob =

    0.1000

pval =

    0.5473

ans =

    0.5821    0.1358
    0.6204    0.8254

It looks to me like this is just a hard lottery to win when the random threshold is close to 1.  Notice the possible numbers that come out for pval.
It is not infinite loop, just that you are asking MATLAB to choose random numbers until you win the lottery, several times!  Seems like a bit of a Bogosort

Q: Anyone got a regex for all known international postcode/zipcodes? I've been searching for a global postcode based regex but not found one. Anyone know of one that exists?

A: Not sure if this really makes sense to try to test for, I think it would be:
 0-18 characters which can contain: 0-9 + the basic Latin alphabet + spaces, hyphens, parentheses and a Cyrillic letter.
And I'm not at all sure that even that would cover all possibilities.


It is no longer a secret that numerous Hollywood stars owe their perfect smile to veneers. Gaps, small or large teeth, minor malposition or broken off corners can be covered up with the aid of a little ceramic veneers. And the best part is they don't just look good but also function normally and feel very natural. You can bite, chew and speak just as before.
CEREC 3D – Veeners in one session!
Our practice offers you the advantage to get your million dollar smile in just one session. The modern CEREC 3D computer technology makes it possible. Without irritating casts a 3D image is created on a screen, designing perfect veneers. You can already tell by the image on the screen what the results are going to look like. Thanks to this technology an individual design with the highest aesthetic demands and perfect accuracy comes up. As soon as the virtual results meet you expectations the data gets send to a milling machine that shapes the desired veneers from a ceramic block in only a few minutes. Those can be applied in the same session so you can leave the practice with a bright smile that is even more beautiful than before and fits you and your personality perfectly.
Are you interested in CEREC 3D veneers? We will be pleased to furnish you with detailed information.


Get out of the classroom and into the community! Internships help students immerse in Spanish culture, make life-long connections, and gain invaluable hands-on professional experience.
In order to enroll in this program, students must participate in a competitive application process. Successful applicants are typically adaptable, flexible, goal-oriented, and open-minded.
Students are required to have Spanish language proficiency of at least Intermediate Spanish II in key competencies (listening, reading, writing and speaking). Without this minimum proficiency, students are not eligible to participate in the internship program.
While there is no cost to participate in the Academic Internship Program, students that participate are subject to a financial penalty should they withdraw from the program.
If you are interested in participating in this program, please join us for an information session on Tuesday, February 5 at 3:30pm at 383 Lafayette St. Room C-06. All questions may be directed to global.internships@nyu.edu.
To apply to the NYU Madrid Academic Internship Program, you must first submit a study application. Visit the NYU Study Abroad "Apply" page for more information. You will be prompted to upload a personal statement, resume, and other documents as part of your online internship application.
NYU has partnered with EUSA, a non-profit organization, to identify custom placements for students in the academic internship program. Unlike a traditional internship search, where students as job seekers are applying directly to organizations and weighing opportunities, EUSA conducts this entire process on participants' behalf. EUSA weighs opportunities based on students' academic and professional goals, resulting in one placement.
Internship opportunities vary semester by semester; therefore, no specific placement list is available. Placement opportunities reflect trends in the context of the Spanish job market. Some sample placement industries include: Advertising, Arts, Business, Film and TV, Hospitality, Journalism, Law, Marketing, Politics, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Psychology, Sociology, Public Relations, and Theater. If you do not see your industry of interest or have questions, email global.internships@nyu.edu.
Enrollment by permission only. Application required.
The seminar portion of the course explores many different aspects of your internship site. The goal is to finish the semester with an in-depth understanding of the company or organization, including its approach, its policies, and the context in which it operates. We will also discuss more generally the state of the contemporary workplace and ourselves as workers. Finally, you will use the seminar to reflect critically and analytically on the internship experience and as a way to refine your own personal and professional goals.
Students interested in participating in the Fall 2019 NYU Madrid Academic Internship Program must submit an application by March 15 (11:59pm ET). Students will be notified of admission in early April This program is competitive, and students are encouraged to take the application process seriously.
Have your resume reviewed by a career coach at the Wasserman Center using this Resume Review Form. Please note: Completion of this form is a required part of the application process. Review the form carefully for further instructions.
Visit the NYU Study Away Apply page for instructions on submitting an NYU Study Away Application. Following submission of your study away application, you will be prompted to complete an Internship application. The internship application requires you to answer a series of questions designed to help you think systematically about what you would like to learn and accomplish from an internship experience in Madrid, and to indicate what type of internship placements you would be most interested in. You will also be required to upload a personal statement and a resume in .pdf or .doc format.
Students must dedicate two full or four partial working days during the week (Monday to Friday) to intern. If you plan to participate in the internship program, please keep this in mind as you begin scheduling your courses.
* If you are a GLS Student, you do not need to complete this application. Contact your GLS advisor for more information about your Experiential Learning requirement.
Internships in Spain require contracts called convenios. NYU cannot sign convenios for non-credit internships in Spain. All internships must be credit-bearing, including summer opportunities. NYU will only facilitate the signing of a convenio for students enrolled in the Internship Seminar and Fieldwork course at NYU Madrid, which is offered during the Fall and Spring semesters. See the above section for more information on this program. Please direct all questions to global.internships@nyu.edu.
The Academic Internship Program requires a separate application. Students can apply for the program only after they have submitted their Study Away application.

It's no secret that I have an obsession with Aerin fragrances (remember this post and this post). In fact it was this fragrance by Aerin that convinced me that I loved rose scents. After that, I immediately want to try each and every new rose launch that she put out. The newest addition to her fragrance collection are these Rose Colognes which are a perfect option for those that prefer a less concentrated formula that is reminiscent of a gentle body mist rather than a heavy perfume.
The three scents are Linen Rose, Garden Rose and Bamboo Rose, and each one is more stunning than the last. Garden Rose blends a variety of different roses with more substantial scents like sandalwood, amber and musk. The result is a bolder fragrance that leaves a hint of floral as it dries down. Linen Rose is the most unique of the three with notes of vanilla, coconut water, amber and vetiver that make it reminiscent of a summer evening by the beach. Bamboo Rose is my favorite because the addition of pink pepper makes it fresh and lively.
If you are looking to venture into the world of rose scents, any of the Aerin fragrances is the way to go. They are never powdery, old-fashioned or overpowering but rather introduce rose in the most modern and fresh way possible!

NORAD Tracks Santa è un programma annuale di intrattenimento natalizio che viene organizzato sin dal 1955 dal North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Ogni anno, durante la vigilia di Natale, tale programma si propone di tracciare il percorso di Babbo Natale durante il viaggio intorno al mondo per portare i regali ai bambini, sin dalla sua partenza dal polo nord.

Il programma è fatto con lo stesso spirito che è nella tradizione sin dalla pubblicazione dell'editoriale del New York Sun Sì, Virginia, Babbo Natale esiste, del 1897.

Origine e storia della tradizione

Il programma iniziò il 24 dicembre 1955 grazie ad un errore commesso da un negozio Sears di Colorado Springs, che inserì un annuncio sul giornale locale che presentava ai bambini la possibilità di telefonare a Babbo Natale, fornendo loro un numero da chiamare. Il numero di telefono che fu pubblicato, tuttavia, era errato e corrispondeva a quello del centro di comando della Continental Air Defense (CONAD) di Colorado Springs; il colonnello Harry Shoup, in servizio quella notte, quando cominciò a ricevere le prime chiamate e si rese conto dell'errore, decise di stare al gioco, dicendo loro di aver rilevato sui radar dei segnali che indicavano che Babbo Natale era in viaggio e chiedendo ai membri della propria squadra di fornire a ciascuno dei bambini che avessero chiamato la posizione attuale di Babbo Natale. In questo modo iniziò una tradizione che continuò nei decenni successivi, anche quando il CONAD divenne il NORAD.

Nel ventunesimo secolo il programma è reso possibile dal lavoro di volontari, sia militari sia civili, ciascuno dei quali gestisce circa quaranta chiamate ogni ora, per un totale di oltre  telefonate e  e-mail da oltre duecento tra nazioni e territori; nel 2012 le chiamate sono state . La maggior parte di queste avviene durante le 25 ore che vanno dalle due del mattino del 24 dicembre alle 3 del mattino del 25 UTC-7. Da dicembre 2007 l'uso di Google Analytics per analizzare il traffico sul sito del programma ha permesso di programmare il reclutamento di volontari e la raccolta dei computer e dell'equipaggiamento telefonico necessari per la realizzazione del programma. Alla fine del 2012 il programma NORAD Tracks Santa aveva  follower su Twitter e oltre un milione di appassionati sulla pagina ufficiale Facebook.

Secondo Gerry Bowler, professore di storia dell'Università di Manitoba, il programma NORAD Tracks Santa rappresenta una delle poche aggiunte moderne alla tradizione di Babbo Natale, prendendo un elemento classico, il viaggio intorno al mondo della Vigilia di Natale, e osservandolo attraverso la tecnologia moderna, portando la mitologia nell'era contemporanea.

Sito internet e altri media
Il programma NORAD Tracks Santa si è sempre servito di una grande varietà di mezzi di comunicazione di massa. Dagli anni '50 al 1996 furono utilizzati principalmente il telefono, i giornali, la radio, i dischi in vinile e la televisione; in particolare molte emittenti nordamericane hanno trattato il programma all'interno delle previsioni del tempo durante la vigilia di Natale. Dal 1997 fu pubblicizzato in particolar modo tramite internet, soprattutto tramite social media e telefoni cellulari. L'impaginazione del sito web relativo al programma è cambiata numerose volte negli anni, in correlazione all'evoluzione della tecnologia di internet e in relazione agli sponsor dei vari anni.

Tra il 2004 e il 2009, alle persone che visitarono il sito del programma NORAD Tracks Santa fu detto che avrebbero potuto seguire il percorso di Babbo Natale utilizzando Google Earth. Furono forniti un collegamento per scaricare l'applicazione e un file KMZ; invece, dal 2009 al 2011, il tracciamento fu realizzato direttamente sul sito ufficiale, senza il coinvolgimento del software Google. Nel 2011 fu introdotta un'applicazione per iOS e sistemi operativi Android che forniva aggiornamenti e includeva un gioco simile ad Angry Birds.

Da metà gennaio al 30 novembre, all'accesso al sito ufficiale, si trova un messaggio che chiede di tornare dopo il 1º dicembre per tracciare Babbo Natale con il NORAD. In dicembre, invece, il sito è completamente accessibile e navigabile. Durante la Vigilia di Natale la pagina dei filmati viene generalmente aggiornata ogni ora, quando passa la mezzanotte in ciascun fuso orario, mostrando immagini in CGI di Babbo Natale che vola in panorami famosi, destinati a cambiare ogni anno. Nel 2007, 2008 e 2009 i filmati pubblicati sono stati rispettivamente 24, 26 e 29.

Fino al 2011 tali filmati erano accompagnati da una voce, classicamente di un volontario del NORAD, che riportava alcune notizie sulle città o sui paesi rappresentati. Tra le voci spesso vi sono state quelle di alcune celebrità: il passaggio sopra Londra, ad esempio, è stato commentato nel 2003 e nel 2004 dall'ex Beatle Ringo Starr e dal 2005 al 2007 dal presentatore televisivo Jonathan Ross. Nel 2002 fu Aaron Carter a fornire la voce per la realizzazione di tre filmati. La first lady Michelle Obama, invece, ha partecipato nel 2011 e nel 2012 rispondendo alle chiamate telefoniche.

Sponsorizzazioni e pubblicità
Il programma è finanziato mediante sponsorizzazioni senza sussidi governativi statunitensi e canadesi.

La promozione dell'evento è garantita dal Northeast Air Defense Sector della Guardia Nazionale Aerea dello Stato di New York e dal Navy Information Bureau della Riserva Navale a Fort Carson, in Colorado. Altre agenzie federali statunitensi, quali NASA e NOAA, nonché le Canadian Armed Forces, partecipano alla pubblicizzazione.

Qualcomm's Smartbook Dispute
Elizabeth Woyke Forbes Staff
From smartphones to tablets, Wi-Fi to 3G/4G: I cover telecom & mobile.
Qualcomm and a host of other technology companies have spent nearly six months orchestrating the global debut of a new kind of mobile computing device they call "smartbooks." Now, a trademark dispute from a German company with the same name could crimp their plans.
The company, Smartbook AG, is a small computer manufacturer in Cologne that specializes in notebook computers for the business and "lifestyle" market. Its products, which run on Intel's Atom chips and Microsoft's Windows software and come in 10- and 12-inch screen sizes, are principally sold within Germany.
The closely held firm's annual revenues are minuscule compared to the $10.42 billion in sales Qualcomm rang up in its fiscal year 2009. But Smartbook AG thinks it has a potent weapon: rights to the term "smartbook" in much of Europe, as well as Australia, Korea, Russia and Singapore. Its tagline? "Smartbook [sic] for smart people."
Smartbook AG has aired its grievances before, but appears to be pursuing a settlement with renewed zeal. In recent weeks, increased publicity about smartbooks has spurred the company's law firm to send letters to a number of reporters who use the term in stories. "We have to inform people that there is a trademark owner who ought to be mentioned, so they can give a correct picture," says Steffen Wilde, the firm's outside counsel.
Wilde says the term "smartbook" has been applied to portable computers in Germany since 2001. Smartbook AG claims it began using the term in 2006 after acquiring the already registered trademark from another German company. It claims to currently hold several domestic registrations related to "smartbook" through the German Patent and Trade Mark Office and an internationally recognized registration through the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Qualcomm and other tech firms, such as Freescale, began publicizing the term smartbook around June and even launched a dedicated Web site. The companies, many of which are known for their work on cellphones, envisioned a new type of gadget that would meld a smart phone's portability, all-day battery life and constant connectivity with the larger screen and keyboard of a netbook. (See "Qualcomm's Smarter Netbooks.") These smart books would run on silicon provided by Qualcomm and other non-Intel chip makers.
Alerted to Qualcomm's plans through media reports, Smartbook AG headed to Cologne District Court, where it won a temporary restraining order against Qualcomm in August. "They had a product and looked for a name and simply took the name of Smartbook AG," says Wilde. "It's absurd. I hope no one else gets such an attack."
In its decision, the court ordered that the identifying mark "smartbook" could not be used by Qualcomm in offers accessible by Internet in Germany where Smartbook AG holds the trademark. Violators of the order could be subject to fines up to 250,000 euros (U.S. $374,000) and Qualcomm representatives could be arrested.
Wilde's firm sent a copy of the order to Qualcomm in September. In response, Qualcomm amended some of its Web sites so they were not accessible to German consumers, according to Wilde.
In a written statement to Forbes, Qualcomm called Smartbook AG's claims surprising. "Qualcomm does not claim and has never claimed to own the term 'smartbook,' which it believes is a descriptive and generic term," the company said. The term, it went on to note, is "used by a number of companies, consumers and industry commentators to describe a class of devices ... that will be enabled by various technology companies, including Qualcomm."
Indeed, Qualcomm is not the only company to run into problems over "smartbook." Wilde declined to reveal others he has contacted, but said his firm will approach any company that appears likely to "damage the trademark."
The issue could flare up again early next year. Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs is slated to give a keynote speech in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. Forty smartbook devices from 15 manufacturers are anticipated to debut in 2010; Jacobs is expected to highlight some of them during his talk, including one from Lenovo . Meanwhile, Smartbook AG announced in mid-November that it is working on expanding sales to southern and northern Europe, Russia, East Asia and Australia.
As usual, money looks to be the fastest path to reconciliation. Smartbook AG is not interested in licensing its name. "Either Smartbook AG is the owner ... or somebody else is," says Wilde. "Any compromise in between would do nothing but harm the company brand." The firm is, however, willing to sell it. "Anyone needing permission to use the trademark would have to come to the table and try to find a solution," he adds.
Alternately, Qualcomm's smartbook consortium could select another name for its products. Wilde suggests the term "phonebook," noting that it points specifically to a smart phone/netbook hybrid. "In this case, it's more descriptive and easier for people to understand [than smartbook]," he argues.
Though it doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

SAN PEDRO, Thurs. Oct. 29, 2015–The body of an American man, Delbert Wayne Fenn, 50, of Alaska, U.S.A., living in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, was found in an advanced state of decomposition in his apartment at about 10:30 Tuesday morning.
Police went to the Cloisters Condominium located north of San Pedro, where the stench of decomposing human flesh from apartment #102 had become unbearable.
Upon entering the apartment, police saw the body of a man lying face-down in a pool of blood. The body was identified as that of Delbert Wayne Fenn, an American who was a retired deep-water diver. At that time there was no sign of physical violence on the body.
A post-mortem exam was carried out by Doctor Mario Estradabran, police pathologist, who determined the cause of Fenn's death to be exsanguinations due to external bleeding resulting from an apparent stab wound to the right shoulder and right posterior forearm.
After the autopsy was carried out, the body was requested by Fenn's family, who will make their own funeral arrangements.
Police say that they are treating the matter as a "sudden death" until their investigation is completed.
Reports to Amandala are that Fenn was last seen by his friends on Friday when he had gotten into a fight and was taken to the police station, but when they didn't see him over the weekend, they became concerned and reported it to the manager on Tuesday morning.
The manager and the caretaker of the apartment building in which Fenn resided, had to pry open the door to his apartment, but when they went to Fenn's room to check on him, they found his decomposed body on the floor. They then called police.
Fenn, although he had a Belizean girlfriend, was living alone at Cloisters. Fenn is originally from Palmer, Alaska, but had resided in Carnation,Washington, USA.


Having read the excellent post by HR Good_Witch about dealing with the toilet habits of an employee I started thinking about all those funny little tasks that get pushed the way of the HR team. Regardless of where I have worked from the biggest companies downwards, there are those little gems that always seem to find there way to me and my team. Things that can only be described as "not nice stuff" or NNS.
How many times have I been approached by a Manager for a "private chat about Bob", to be told that poor Bob has a body odor problem? My first question, "Have you told him?". Now the response to this is normally something along the lines of, "I thought it would be better coming from HR". Right, lets stop and think about that………………………………………………So the message could come from the Line Manager who has worked day in and day out with this person, reviews their performance, buys them a beer at Christmas (and sometimes more often if they are generous) OR it could come from HR person who doesn't really know them, bumped into them once at the Christmas party (and can't remember the smell being that strong….actually can't remember much….but we all need to let our hair down at times). I'm thinking the former kind of seems more appropriate….don't you?
So I sit the Manager down look deep into their eyes and using a combination of NLP, reverse psychology and Jedi mind tricks ("these aren't the droids you are looking for"), prompt them to tell Bob, be honest, understanding, explain that you are aware of their body odor and they might want to think about doing something to sort it our, stronger deodorant, a more frequent change of clothes. That Bob will actually probably be really grateful because they would rather know and be able to do something about. And you know what, 100% strike record the Manager comes back and says "you were right".
Cue much spluttering and uttering of random words. Dan it should be said is also the manager that once fed back that a candidate was "very pretty, but very stupid". Although to give him his dues he was using this as a reason to reject her and I know many managers that would have seen that as a core competence. Anyway, he came into my office and we both agreed after a while that it was better if he spoke to the unsuccessful candidates and explained his decision and as a trade off I would let him speak to the successful candidate Sue. Genius at work…..
And there are numerous examples of NNS that come to us on a daily basis, from bogeys on the wall of the toilets, to changes in reporting lines, to redundancies (here its often "I don't want you involved in the planning, but you can tell the people they are going" – yeah right!). In most cases it just takes a few mind tricks and some assertiveness and before you know it Manager is gaily skipping off to do their duty. But on the other hand there are some categories of NNS, like the example given by HR Good_Witch, I wouldn't let a Line Manager near – I mean can you imagine someone with so little skill, dealing with a subject like that……..?
Thanks for catching my post! I agree completely with you about NSS that gets dumped to HR. This is the first time I've accepted to do it myself and you are exactly right – because it is such a delicate topic (and the manager not being capable of providing easy feedback at the best of times). I'm with you, normally I turn it into a coaching moment and put it back to them.


At Harvest Worship Center we believe what makes a strong church is the strong relationships we have with each other as believers in Christ. Throughout the year we have many events including conferences, children's activities, fall and Christmas celebrations. We take these opportunities to grow our relationships with one another.


As a freelance designer, I know the importance of accurately and continuously tracking time to know exactly how much I am going to charge the client when the project is done. It is also important for the client to be able to see exactly where I am in the process so that they know that everything is going according to plan. There is nothing more annoying for a client than when things drag out. The only thing you can do in that situation is to push through to get it all done. Of course, the most important thing of all is to keep the deadline and tracking your time is a great way to do that.
The solution has had plenty of time to develop into a really strong and professional platform, and it does exactly what you want it to which is track time. There is no beating around the bush with a lot of fancy unnecessary inputs or buttons. It simply does one job and it does it well, it tracks the time you spend on each project you're supervising.
I quickly initiated an interview with the crew behind it all, and they turned out to be the kind of people and company that fit in perfectly here on Bit Rebels. They're driven geeks who really want to make your life easier and more enjoyable. If it's ever a good time to express ourselves like Apple, it's now… and this service helps you to just DO.
It had to web based.
We needed a desktop app so employees could work easily with it, without having a browser window open all the time.
It had to work on PCs and Macs since we had PCs and Apple stuff in our office.
Reporting had to be a breeze.
It had to show us who was underperforming.
After finding that there's no app out there that could handle these tasks, we took matters into our own hands and decided to build an online intranet app that would fit our needs perfectly. The only problem was that we had to juggle this project along with ongoing work for our clients, so it took quite a long time to develop the initial version.
After it was built, and we saw how good it was, we decided to make it public. We tried to build a business around it. The way to go was the freemium model. We made it available for free to all freelancers and charged a small fee to companies that were in need of a solid time tracking tool.
Our quotes were unrealistic because we didn't have solid time tracking data. We always approximated the amount of time needed to finish certain tasks and in practice, these quotes were always lower than what we ended up doing.
Certain clients had trouble understanding why tasks took longer than quoted and were not willing to pay for the extra work. Without detailed data that a time tracking app can provide we had a tough time presenting documented proof of what actually happened during development.
2. I bet a lot of people are wondering how you guys started developing Paymo? Was it because you had a need for such a product yourself or was it purely to start a business?
We initially developed it for our own use and than we saw an opportunity to start a business.
3. How many people are involved in developing Paymo and where do you all come from professionally? Are your roots in web design, development or something entirely different?
Our roots are in web design and desktop development. As you can see in Paymo, we did our best to merge the power of the cloud with the versatility of the desktop app. We strongly believe in the future of SaaS/Cloud/Web apps (whatever buzzword makes you "buzz") because the advantages offered by these types of apps outweigh the disadvantages.
4. How long did it take you guys to finalize a working version of Paymo and did you go through a Beta testing phase or did you go for the public release straight away?
The initial development took almost one year, but there was no constant work being done at that time. We were working on Paymo when our schedules were permitting it. We fit it in between client work and other internal projects we had at that time.
5. I am struck by the high quality and the easy to follow user interface of Paymo. What was the motivation and inspiration behind the sleek design, and was it an instant decision or did it evolve through time?
The interface evolved over time. When we initially released Paymo, we had quite a different user interface. We were quite proud of it because we felt it was quite "original". Over time, by adding more and more features, the old interface simply couldn't handle all the changes so it was a "back to the drawing board" moment for us.
The current interface follows a much more standardized look and feel and although it has lost some of it's uniqueness, we feel that this is the correct direction in this day and age when web apps are becoming something standard. People need to be able to use the app without thinking too much about the UI and get the job done. As history has shown, standardization in UI design has a lot of benefits to end users. Our core "web designer" feelings are a bit hurt about this move, but we try to stand out from the crowd and keep our originality with subtle touches throughout the UI.
6. Being a freelance designer myself I am often wondering how I would ever make it without a professional time tracker. What do you think is the most important feature of a good time tracker, and how do you think it can be further improved?
The most important feature I believe is the ability to add your time with as few clicks as possible without going through ugly looking forms. We just hated all the tools we used in the past where you had these huge forms with tens of input boxes to fill in and that was the ONLY way to add your time. That method can be useful in certain scenarios, however, when doing work you should not be distracted for more than a couple of seconds to add your time.
7. Usually I see a lot of desktop based solutions, but yours is an online solution. What made you decide to put it online and how do you think that decision affects the usage and result for the user?
If you work as a freelancer, a desktop solution might be viable, however you need to worry about backup, viruses corrupting your data and data loss in general. Then there's the problem of switching computers (most users nowadays have more than one machine), software upgrades and data portability. These tasks all take time and we believe you should not waste it on stuff like this. Having a web app solves most of these problems, and best of all, you can access your data from any computer or mobile device.
If you work in a team, a desktop only solution can become a tedious thing to setup and manage. You need to get a client/server intranet app which can centralize all the data. Reporting in these types of apps is usually weak, and you'll end up spending time on maintaining yet another system that is not core to your business. Again, a web app solves most of these issues and it's perfect for distributed teams in various geographical locations. For example, your employees could work from home without using VPN to connect to the company server… a web app is simply more efficient and cost effective in most of the cases.
8. To get a clear view on what's going on behind the scenes, what does the main part of your day entail? Is it the development of new features or are you guys constantly dedicating time to support, etc..?
We definitely spend most of our time on support and development. Everyone involved in development is also very active in support. We feel this gets the team involved in the community since they are faced directly with user issues.
I'm sure every single computer user in the world was at least once faced with horrible tech support. We're committed to providing good support to every Paymo user (free and premium). We answer every email!
9. Usually when releasing a new software or service, your target is on a certain group of people or professions. What was your main target group, and has it changed over time or are you still trying to please that specific target group?
We're targeting all kinds of groups, pretty much any profession that bills hourly is in our target. Paymo is very popular among web developers, designers, consulting firms, virtual assistants and lawyers.
10. Finally, where do you see Paymo in the future? Are there any features you are still working on that you think will revolutionize the way we track time on a project, and if so, what are they?
Paymo is constantly evolving. We're improving the system based on the feedback from our customers and our own ideas. In the future we'll be offering more project management tools that will transform Paymo into a set of tools that will help you manage your projects around the concept of time tracking and will make billing and getting paid a very simple process.
Very soon we'll be rolling out our iPhone and BlackBerry mobile apps.
1. In the past month, the people in our office have been struck by various forms of the flu. We're starting to question all the gift baskets we've received from our competition.
2. Contrary to popular belief, the name Paymo was not inspired by a rap slang.
3. Time Tracking Secret no #85: For very quick jobs, don't send your reports to your clients (unless you love 'em) – you'll end up doing it for free.
4. When we refunded our loyal clients on April Fool's Day, most of them thought it was a joke… but we just have a strange bonus policy.
5. Everyone in our office needs headphones if he wants to listen to music because one of our guys is a noise freak. It's so silent that you can hear the ticking of our virtual timers sometimes… but then again, that is how great code gets created!

Muddy water in the aquarium is a common problem that is sometimes faced even by experienced aquarists. It can lead to death of your fish. To avoid this, you need to understand the causes of this trouble and eliminate them.
The aquarium is a microcosm of where to appear and dead organisms. It consists of the delicate relationship of fish, plants and bacteria.
When you create a new aquarium in a few days there is a huge amount of bacteria, excessive breeding in the water. This leads to its dimness. This process is quite normal and natural. Before you run the fish tank with new water, you just need to wait a few days until it clears. Because of the lack of food most bacteria will die, and the biological balance of the water is normal. Change the water in this case, it is strictly prohibited because it is also turbid. It is best to add some water from the old aquarium, where the balance has long been established. If you don't have anything to worry about, the balance in the water he settled, just needs more time.
Another cause of muddy water may be overfeeding the fish. The excess food that your Pets do not have time to eat, descend to the bottom and begin to rot. As a result, the water begins to deteriorate. In such an environment, the inhabitants of the aquarium can't feel good, and prolonged their stay in the bad water will ruin.
With a large number of fish in the aquarium and poor water filtration, there is a clouding. The inhabitants of such an environment is sure to start poisoning organism decay products, which will lead to their death.
Cause muddy water can be algae. There is a view that excessive reproduction leads to clouding of the environment in the aquarium and in this case emits an unpleasant odor. Another problem may be the excess lighting or the accumulation of excess organic matter on the bottom, stimulating the rapid growth of microscopic algae, and the result is algal blooms. It becomes opaque with a greenish tint. The lack of light plants in the aquarium will become brown and start to rot that will spoil the habitat of the fish and will harm their health.
To deal with muddy water is not difficult, important to understand the causes of turbidity and adhere to certain rules in the future.
First you need to determine the cause of the turbidity. If it is the overcrowding of the aquarium, therefore, should strengthen the filter or some fish to move to another place. If the reason is the accumulation of excess feed on the bottom, so you need to reduce the dose of the food or buy a bottom fish, which will eat up deposited food. With lighting need to dim the aquarium or increase the light. To prevent a rapid growth of algae encouraged gets fish or snails eating plants. Below in the aquarium was preserved biological balance, it is necessary to have a good filter that matches the size of the water tank. You need to understand that the aquarium water is alive, and to maintain balance, it is necessary to maintain certain conditions. It does not suggest the use of chemicals, they can cause more disturbance and require longer recovery.
In maintaining balance in the water plays an important role her shift. After starting a new aquarium does not need to change the water for 2-3 months until the adjusted balance. In the future, water should be replaced 1-2 times per month. While merging only 1/5 of the total volume of the aquarium and the same adding new. If you change more than half, disturbed habitat, which will lead to the death of fish. In small tanks the water can be changed less frequently, subject to the availability of a good filter.
Aquarium – not only decoration, but first and foremost, the ecosystem of living common to all ecosystems laws. It is stable, when there is a biological and chemical equilibrium. The imbalance directly affects the appearance of the aquarium, and primarily on water quality.
The water turbidity in the aquarium, usually caused by the massive development of various bacteria. Where are the bacteria? They, like other microbes that fall into the fish tank, with plants. The source may also be soil, fish food and even the air which is in contact with water. Some amount of bacteria is always present in each of the elements of the ecosystem. In a certain number, they are harmless to other aquarium inhabitants. The water stays clean and transparent. With the mass proliferation of bacteria you will definitely have two or three days after filling the aquarium with fresh water. This is due to the fact that the lack of a sufficient number of other organisms, the bacteria begin to multiply rapidly. Outwardly, it looks like a light whitish or pearly homogeneous suspension.
The process of reproduction of bacteria is faster if the aquarium are plants and soil.
After another 3-5 days the cloudiness disappears. This is due to the appearance in the aquarium water ciliates, which are intensively eaten by bacteria. There comes a point balance of the ecosystem. It was only then that the aquarium can settle in fish.
Plants need to be taken from the aquarium with healthy inhabitants.
The water turbidity in an aquarium that already has fish, can be caused by organic suspended matter. A suspension is formed from waste products of fish and plants, as well as incorrect feeding and excess dry food. To combat the suspension used aquarium filters, including biological, in which organic matter is actively absorbed by living on the filter material with bacteria. Mandatory measures are also cleaning the bottom, removal of dead parts of plants, dead organisms, excrement.
A quick clouding of the water in the aquarium with living fish can be a manifestation of disequilibrium and may be the first symptom of the disease of all ecosystems. For example, precede the blooming of water. In this case, the aquarium has a large volume, frequent complete change of water in it impractical. It is easier to restore the biological balance, adjusting the lighting and replacing only part of the water. In large aquariums the biological equilibrium is easier to support than young, but set it longer. Good absorbers are turbidity cladocerans (Daphnia, Moina, bosmina, etc.), which, feeding on bacteria, are good food for fish. An essential factor of equilibrium should be regarded as the aeration and water filtration. Filters need to be cleaned regularly.
Diseases of aquarium fishes – a very common phenomenon. Aquatic creatures often die due to improper care. Less can occur hereditary disease, which in most cases is incurable. Blacken fish not only from infections, but also due to poor water quality.
It may sound strange, but fish is also prone to colds. This happens usually because of too low water temperature. First signs of a cold-folded fins and black spots on the gills.
The only method of treatment in this case is ensuring the desired temperature, which must be not less than 23°. Please note that dramatically changing the water is not recommended. The temperature should increase only gradually.
In some cases the fish turn black due to a genetic predisposition. If the behavior does not change, the appetite is not lost, and the fish are active and mobile, then worry not.
Gill rot is a very dangerous disease for aquarium fish. Water occupant may die within just several days. The main symptoms of such an infection are black bars on the body and in the head. The fish becomes very slow and floats up the tail. Externally, the impression that her body once again, thank you head.
The ailing fish should be sure to transplant from their neighbors. Gill rot is a contagious disease that can in a short time to destroy all the inhabitants of the aquarium. The optimal method of treatment is the copper sulfate solution that is added to water minimal dosages.
If the fish regularly move, the consequence could be their blackening. The main symptom of overfeeding is considered the sluggish behavior of water inhabitants and swollen tummies.
The most common cause black spots on aquarium fish is a disease called fin rot. Starts darkening of the body fish with the tips of the fins and tail.
Causes of fin rot are many. The most common of these are inappropriate conditions of detention, too many fish in the aquarium, a rare aquarium cleaning, strong water pollution.
To prevent fin rot it is necessary to regularly monitor the condition of the aquarium. Uneaten food in any case should not accumulate on the bottom. Otherwise, the water will become uninhabitable and will have a devastating effect on the fish.
In rare cases, the cause of blackening fish can become larva kutikuly. The transmission is possible only in the case if, for example, turned to the aquarium fish representative of the river habitat.
Please note that some of the fish black spots appear gradually, but disease is not. A vivid example can be called a swordsman. Young fish have a more light color. Gradually the body black and colored dots appear.

Watch out, you guys — the liberal snowflakes are coming! I know, things just got super serial and I'm so scared of the Play-Doh-toting, safety-pin-wearing, participation-trophy-waving, anti-Second-Amendment tools that burn garbage cans. My money is on pro-Second Amendment Trump supporters … just a hunch.
The warning above — "A warning to Trump supporters who call Progressives 'snowflakes'" — came from none other than the OccupyDemocrats page.
What's so laughable about this is that I'd dare say Trump supporters are well aware of the damage that the regressive left has done, is doing, and can do to our society.
We've seen it, and the left's destructive and dangerous failures policies were repudiated in 2016.
I wonder if the leftist riots we saw over the weekend are what they meant when they said "winter is coming"?

Chrom and Robin sealed Grima away. Robin stumbled per chance on the origin of Grima and decides to make an effort to change his views.
Now, almost a thound years later a few things changed. The least of her worries are that no one but her remembers what happened.
Robin was just a normal Manakete who did his best to make ends meet. It was only a matter of time before he got picked up by a blue haired prince and was proven wrong.
A manakete without his wings, even only half of one, is barely a manakete at all.

A large majority of organizations are still implementing ad hoc digital strategies and/or limiting themselves to automation and the digitization of paper-based processes. That's necessary but digitization is not enough.
Digitalization is the process of moving to become a digital business, realize a digital workplace, creating a digital supply chain, etc.
You can't move towards digitalization if you haven't digitized enough yet. True, by digitizing paper-based information and business processes, there are ample benefits to realize: you can lower the risks of errors, speed up processes (paper-based processes are slow and prone to errors), enhance customer satisfaction, lower operating costs and to some extent change and improve specific parts of the business. Many large-scale digitization operations are really about business process engineering to begin with.
Yet, in order to move to digitalization and digital transformation in an enterprise-wide sense and reach the next levels of digital maturity amidst rapidly changing market and economy conditions, customer attitudes/expectations, disruptive forces and new technologies that are about to contribute to even faster disruption, it's important to start digitalizing.
One of the goals of digitization exercises in fact should be to enable digitalization.
The costs which are saved through digitization are good for the short and medium term, yet should help funding the longer term as well. And, in order to move towards that longer term where a digital transformation economy will be at the core of the business, digitalization is the road to take.
What do we mean with digitalization? There is no universal digitalization definition but it's not the same as digitization which is often an enabler, always a 'condition sine qua non' and in a way a part of digitalization. Some examples will make it clearer.
Digitalization is the path towards digital business and an essential part of moving towards digital transformation. So what is digitalization not? It is not digitization and it is not digital transformation. Both digitization and digitalization on one hand and digitalization and digital transformation on the other are often used interchangeably. A quick look at the differences with some examples.
Digitization is simply the automation and/or digitization of business processes which in turn is based on the digitization of paper (so, removing paper-based processes), and along with this the removal of manual labor where it isn't viable or effective/efficient.
It's really the first step. Digital transformation on the other hand, is a very vast and enterprise-wide exercise that fundamentally transforms a business with a focus on processes, capabilities, acceleration, innovation, the creation of new revenue streams and even a full change of business model.
There are ample examples in the industry where the core business is shifting in a context of digitalization and digital transformation, which is an ongoing journey with DX at the core.
As an example, let's take John Deere. With its focus on embedded technologies (IoT) and on data, John Deere is moving from being a manufacturer of equipment to a services and data company. It is becoming an advisor to farmers, for instance, with entirely new business models and revenue streams that in later digital transformation stages can be combined with novel business models of other companies, sometimes from entirely different sectors, in order to become a disruptive company or part of a disruptive ecosystem that changes the way farming is done.
While this might not be the case for John Deere, which might continue operating in its current core business as well, some organizations who are going through such profound transformations can even drop their entire existing core business. Several companies which went bankrupt in this age of accelerating digital innovation had the possibility to grow new revenue streams but kept stuck too much on their core business with the known consequences.
So, as you can see, digital transformation, in the modern sense (not in the old sense of turning paper into digital data) goes far beyond digitization and encompasses the full businesses across all activities and across existing and new ecosystems.
In that sense, digitalization is more related with digital transformation as it is with digitization.
Whereas digitization is at the beginning, digitalization means the use of digital technologies and of data (digitized and natively digital) in order to create revenue, improve business (not just processes) and create a digital culture whereby digital information is at the core.
As you could see in the graphic by Gartner above, digitalization has an important information and information technology dimension whereby we see, among others, analytics, systems of insight and technologies that enable to put digitized information at work beyond a pure digitized process perspective and more in a value generation perspective.
Digitalization also has a dimension of 'digital maturity' or 'digital culture', whereby data and information, put at work with the needed technologies, serve as business assets and enablers to come up with digital services, increase the usage of digital platforms and transform the ways business is conducted, for instance in the context of the digital workplace, digital supply chain, digital customer experience and anything digital really (except the pure data and process aspect, which, again, is digitization).
Whereas the process dimension of digitization is about the automation of processes and moving from analog to digital information as explained, in digitalization we are not talking about digitizing and thus optimizing existing processes but reengineering, replacing and increasing business processes for digital business.
Last but not least, digitalization is the next stage after digitization on the way to not just digital business but also towards creating the capabilities and conditions, among others in the ways the business operates and how it leverages knowledge and insights, which are needed for enterprise-wide digital transformation and the nascent digital transformation economy where digital transformation moves to the core of the business (remember the John Deere example).
Obviously these steps are not nicely consecutive so we can't put them in a roadmap-like overview for all organizations.
In practice organizations can be at the same time digitizing and digitalizing in some areas as they move at various speeds. Still, you need to have a strategic roadmap as we'll see. But with digitalization the systems are connected and everything gets brought together in order to move to the next stage.
Sometimes digitization can lead to digitalization. We have seen examples in government, for instance, where large digitization projects in the context of business process reengineering have led to a skillset which enabled one government department to develop new 'business streams' by offering the acquired skills and technologies to other departments as a service.
We have also seen examples of insurance companies who went beyond digitizing their processes and information flows and leveraged the results of their digitization, integration (back end and front office, beyond silos) and innovation exercises to come up with new pricing models (for instance by using telematics as is increasingly done) and even come up with entirely new products. Taking into account regulations, which are of course strict in this industry, in next stages insights, gained out of information, can then become new revenue streams as such.
An example in that sense is a telecom provider which sells location data to governments, companies and event organizers who want insights into where people came from, are and go to.
It's sheer market intelligence that can be used by these 'buyers'. In the case we know they don't sell location data of uniquely identifiable customers but of groups of customers, enabling the firms that buy this intelligence to adapt and improve the ways they do business or organize events, processes, etc. You can imagine how in the example of insurance firms, comparable initiatives which build upon aggregated data, could serve other companies. That's where we are heading to and that's, among others, what digitalization in practice is about. It's far away from simply digitizing and it's a step closer to digital business transformation as we'll increasingly understand it.
So, digitize but don't stop there. Digitalize as you move up the digital transformation maturity ladder.
How do you get there? Below are some tips to move from a pure digitization situation and/or project towards the conditions which are needed for digitalization and digital transformation (and in this stage it's OK to use both more or less interchangeably).
When making your business case for digitization projects don't just look at the immediate needs and goals but also look at how you can leverage data to service customers better, build new offerings and come up with new revenue streams.
Don't see a digitization and/or document capture project as just a way to save costs and/or be more productive, efficient and so forth. Talk with a partner who does more than just digitization but also can think with you on how to leverage the fruits of these projects.
Don't approach the digitization project from the perspective of the traditional small group of people who would usually take care of it. Build bridges with other departments and colleagues. Let the digitization project work in function of the goals and potential you see as a team instead of just the immediate deliverables.
Invest in a digitization project but also in other projects, such as the insurance examples we mentioned with telematics, and in new products with the next investments to move towards digitalization and digital transformation in mind. In other words: reserve part of the cost savings, economies of scale and potential revenues for the next steps.
Have those next steps in mind. The reason to work with forward-thinking partners and other departments, whereby you can look at examples of successful digitalization and transformation initiatives (also from outside your industry), see where customer demand is heading, where your sector is going, what technologies are coming and what their impact can be, where disruption could come from, what the needs and insights of others are and so on, in the end is to define a vision and roadmap whereby each step helps fund the next one, as just mentioned.
When considering a digitization solution that involves capture software and other applications, don't get stuck with a system that only does what you need today. What are the evolving needs of your (mobile) workforce? What other systems and LOB applications do you need to connect with now and in later stages? Is there a better option available to scale fast and move equally fast when the next steps in your digitalization and transformation roadmap are coming?
In practice this will among others mean looking at web-based solutions, at the cloud, at systems of insight and systems of engagement (not just the traditional systems of records that are still present in the capture and digitization market) and probably at mobile and open data architectures with a focus on connectivity and data exchange.
