Portrayal of Juárez in 'Sicario' Vexes Residents Trying to Move Past Dark Times

By Victoria Burnett
CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico — Four decapitated bodies dangle from a bridge like butchered meat, the grotesque insignia of a city torn apart by drug gangs. Passing by in a convoy of S.U.V.s, Alejandro Gillick, a shadowy operator in America's drug war, does not flinch.
"Welcome to Juárez," he says.
Lawless and sickeningly violent, the Juárez depicted in "Sicario," the borderland action movie that was released in the United States at the beginning of October, is a parched Mexican hellhole.
But it is yesterday's hellhole, officials and residents here say — a place starkly different from the much calmer and safer Juárez of today.
For the past couple of years, Juárez has been successfully cleaning up its act, residents say.
The city is beautifying the small colonial center, and painters are freshening up battered houses with coats of violet and lime green. Diggers are plowing empty lots in preparation for construction crews, and the city's hundreds of factories are crying out for workers.
Bars and clubs are buzzing, and expensive cars — once hidden in garages — purr at traffic lights. Gone, for the most part, are the days of drug-fueled crime, when people sped home at dusk, businesses were gutted by arson attacks and corpses were a daily spectacle.
Which is why some residents here feel so aggrieved at the portrayal of the city in the movie.
Enrique Serrano Escobar, the city's mayor, has urged citizens to boycott the movie and at one point threatened to sue its producers for defamation. The mayor, who has yet to see the film, which is due for release in Mexico in December, even took out ads in some American newspapers, including The New York Times, to express his objections.
"There is a whole community making an effort to restore the image of the city, and now they come along and speak ill of us," he said in an interview.
The movie stars Emily Blunt as a naïve F.B.I. agent who gets involved in a murky operation involving a constellation of American law enforcement officers and Mr. Gillick, played by Benicio Del Toro. In "Sicario," Juárez, a city of about 1.5 million, is a tense, dusty sprawl of graffiti and prowling drug traffickers.
But the movie is "out of date," said Mr. Serrano, and it comes "just as we in the city are turning in a different direction."
Why crime in Juárez dropped so quickly is still debated: Officials and experts point to a purge of corrupt police officers and judiciary, better police training, stiffer prison sentences — including the introduction of life sentences for kidnapping, murder and extortion — and energetic efforts by community groups. Some experts, though, believe the shift has as much to do with a settlement between the warring Sinaloa and Juárez cartels.
And even as the bloodshed abated in Juárez, it surged elsewhere: The country is still reeling from the disappearance last year of 43 students in a rural town in Guerrero State, and gang violence made the Pacific resort of Acapulco the country's deadliest city last year.
In an email, Denis Villeneuve, the movie's director, said the film was conceived in 2010 at the height of Juárez's troubles.
"We didn't have the intention to harm the citizens of Juárez with our movie," Mr. Villeneuve said. "The people who are fighting for peace deserve our respect."
But Mr. Serrano's outrage has resonated with residents, entrepreneurs, pastors and community organizers, who are anxious to undo the city's ugly reputation.

Members of a Juárez Facebook group that organizes community projects debated whether or not to see the movie — which some had seen in El Paso — and whether it accurately depicted the city's dark years.
"Look, the movie is tough, but it's real," said Salvador Cisneros, a painter and decorator from Juárez who saw the movie last week during a trip to Atlanta. "In fact, the reality was much worse."
The turnaround for Juárez began in 2012 and has been significant. Kidnappings have plummeted — officially there have been none in 20 months — and the murder rate has fallen from as many as eight a day during the worst times in 2010 to 20 to 30 per month now.
Businesses and day-trippers have taken note. Hotels in Juárez have occupancy rates close to 70 percent, up from a low of 20 to 40 percent during the worst violence.
Mr. Serrano, the mayor, has teamed with the mayor's office in El Paso, traveling on joint delegations to cities like Detroit and Chicago to promote investment.
But changing a city's image is a slow process, and business owners and officials worry that "Sicario" could stunt the city's economic prospects.
"If you saw that film in the United States or Europe and you were thinking of coming here, you probably wouldn't come," Mr. Serrano said. "If you were thinking of investing, you probably wouldn't invest."
Some residents also said they resented the fact the movie was not made in Juárez.
The action crosses between Mexico and the United States, but, because of security worries, the producers shot the movie in Albuquerque, El Paso and Mexico City.

"At least they would have created a windfall for the city," said Liliana Pérez, an M.B.A. student who started the Juárez Facebook campaign a few months ago.
Roberto Herrera, one of the partners in a food court here where diners last week munched tacos and crepes and watched a Star Wars movie on an overhead screen, said it drew many customers from El Paso on weekends and had been so popular that he and his partners were opening another one this month. He fears the movie could put off visitors.
"Our fear is that the movie could put people off," he said. "It's annoying."
However, Samuel Schmidt, director of El Colegio de Chihuahua, a research organization based in Juárez, said the critics of the movie were overstating the effect it would have.
"Juárez's image isn't important to growth," he said by telephone. "On the one hand, you have a powerful narrative about Juárez, and people are very sensitive about it," he added. "On the other, you have a growing U.S. economy, and that means we have growth."
Sergio, who opened a wedding business in 2008, said the mayor's office should ease business regulations and promote the city effectively rather than fussing about a movie. Case in point, he said: He was fined $250 last year for putting construction rubble in his own front yard and received another fine because a banner on his building exceeded size regulations.
"The role of the government is to bring investment," said Sergio, who asked that his full name not be used because he has been the target of extortion. "It's just a movie."
And, he said, "let's not try to block out the sun with one finger. This city is still problematic."
Old problems surfaced on Oct. 3 when a police commander, Jesús Eduardo Alemán Medina, was gunned down outside his suburban residence. The city was shaken by the killings, that same week, of six women. Though the women died in unconnected circumstances, the cluster of killings raised the specter of the murder of hundreds of young women that gripped the city in the 1990s.
For many in Juárez, the bad old days are never far behind. Residents became grim or tearful when they were asked if they believed the city could return to chaos again.
The debate about "Sicario" has "opened up the wound," said Ms. Pérez, the M.B.A. student. She said she would probably see the movie out of curiosity. "It's just a piece of art," she said. "But it hurts."

KING ARTHUR LEGEND COULD BECOME ARGYLL TOURIST BOOM
LEGENDS of King Arthur and Merlin could yet become recognised as a part of Argyll's identity when a fact-finding meeting is held next month.
Iona link
Researcher and advocate Adam Ardrey has released two books detailing his belief that the king who pulled the sword from the stone was from Argyll and that the Isle of Iona is, in fact, Avalon - his reputed burial place.
Adam recently attended a meeting of the Oban, Lorn and Isles area committee and has been invited to speak further to Argyll and Bute Council's next month, where he will make his pitch for the area to jump on a potential tourism boon.
He said: 'The timing is perfect for Arthur.
'There is bound to be a lull in Columba-based tourism following this year of celebration of Columba's arrival in Argyll. The matter of Arthur can take up where Columba left off - they were, after all, contemporaries.
'Better still, as I said to the area committee, if you ask 100 Americans 'who was Columba?' you will be lucky to find one in 100 who will know. If you ask 100 Americans who King Arthur was, you will be lucky to find one in 100 who does not know.
'Many millions of them will want to visit the places where he was active, especially if they can see things like to stone from which he took a sword [Dunadd Fort] the site of his most famous battle [Badden] and the place that came to be called Camelot, [somewhere near Dunadd] – all while standing on the same spot.'

Armchair, Elda
Cesare (Joe) Colombo (1930–1971)
Molded fiberglass, polyurethane, leather upholstery
Comfort, Milan, Italy
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Liliane and David M. Stewart Collection, gift of Paul Leblanc, D90.147.1
Colombo first studied architecture and began his career as an artist before turning to interior and industrial design. In 1962 he opened a design studio in Milan and the following year created Elda, named after his wife, the first large-scale armchair made of fiberglass. It is composed of two separate pieces that form the front and rear structures, joined together on a rotating base. Seven leather-covered cushions fit into the seat and backrest to create a comfortable, modern version of the traditional wing chair.
Colombo's skill as a sculptor and knowledge of materials are reflected in this design, and his work in the 1960s was part of the period for which Italian design became internationally known.

Indiana Moves to Unwind Barriers to Braiding
Article | April 24, 2017
It shouldn't take up to $20,000 and over a year of cosmetology schooling—almost none of which has anything to do with braiding—just to braid hair for a living. Finally, after two decades of imposing such requirements on entrepreneurial Hoosiers, Indiana lawmakers have untangled some of the most onerous red tape in the country.
As a traditional art form, African-style hair braiding is believed to be more than 5,000 years old, and it has a long history throughout the United States. Its primary practitioners today are African immigrants and native black descendants of African slaves. Nicole Barnes-Thomas, who was born and raised in Indianapolis, was just such an artist; she started braiding professionally 20 years ago, when she was 17. She was forced out of her successful braiding job in 1997, when lawmakers decided to impose cosmetology licensing restrictions on hair braiding.
Now, Barnes-Thomas and Republican state Rep. Tim Wesco have lead successful efforts to enact House Bill 1243, which will eliminate unnecessary licensing requirements for braiders. HB 1243 passed both chambers of the Indiana General Assembly last week and will now head to Gov. Eric Holcomb's desk for his signature.
"I am thrilled about the passage of HB 1243, deregulating hair braiding, for all the opportunities it will afford to women across the state," said Rep. Wesco, the bill's author and original sponsor. "I believe there is great potential for people to be able to earn additional income and use skills they already have to support their families. And they are now free to do so."
Once the new law takes effect, Barnes-Thomas plans to restart her successful braiding business without the threats of recurring $500 fines and a misdemeanor charge for braiding without a license. She aims to open a salon to offer services and train new braiders in the Broad Ripple community near Butler University in her native Indianapolis.
"I'm excited to see progress on this jobs bill that will allow hair braiders to start their own businesses to take care of their families and themselves," said Barnes-Thomas, who testified in favor of HB 1243. "The bottom line is that braiders in Indiana should be free to work, just like in Kentucky and 20 other states."
Natural hair braiding is a remarkably safe profession with a large base of satisfied customers. According to the "Barrier to Braiding" report from the Institute for Justice (IJ), complaints against braiders are so rare that a person is 2.5 times more likely to get audited by the IRS than a licensed or registered braider is to receive a complaint of any kind. In fact, the vanishingly few complaints braiders do receive are almost never filed by a customer.
Twenty-one states, from South Dakota to Texas, have already deregulated braiding, many with prodding from IJ, which has model legislation on the issue. Three more—New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Missouri (where IJ is challenging braiding restrictions in court)—could soon follow suit. Indiana is now poised to join those 21 states and let Hoosiers braiders braid.

States argue for cutting off solar subsidies
By William La Jeunesse, ,
Whether it is produced on a rooftop or in the desert, solar energy is generating profits and controversy.
"We want to support renewable energy," said Hawaii state Rep. Marcus Oshiro. "But not at the expense of all the taxpayers who are heavily subsidizing this one component."
So as the industry continues to grow, a number of utilities and officials are saying it's time for solar to stand on its own – without the glut of subsidies.
When solar was a small part of the electrical grid, tax and ratepayer subsidies seemed insignificant. Advocates justified the incentives as necessary to jumpstart an upstart industry. But today, with panel prices falling 90 percent and thousands of systems being installed every week, utilities say it's time to end or unwind those subsidies.
"We cannot sustain this rate of expenditure for this one sector," said Oshiro. "It is about time they get off the training wheels and run on their own."
In Hawaii, the number of solar systems has doubled since 2007. Solar tax credits are up from $34 million in 2010 to $173 million in 2012, the year Hawaii Electric proposed a moratorium on new solar installations.
There's a similar backlash in Arizona, where the state's largest utility wants out of what it considers a regulatory nightmare, which requires non-solar ratepayers to pay solar companies 25 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity it can generate or buy elsewhere for a nickel.
"We estimate that the average rooftop solar system on an Arizona home adds $20,000 in costs for non-solar customers over its lifetime," Arizona Public Service CEO Don Brandt wrote recently in a newspaper editorial. "We believe that when all the facts are known, all parties, even owners of rooftop solar, who are today getting a very good deal, will acknowledge that the current subsidy just isn't fair to other customers."
In Los Angeles, which operates the nation's largest solar program, the Department of Water and Power put solar customers on a sliding scale, reducing by a penny a year what it will pay for excess power generated by residential solar systems.
"The good thing about local solar is it is spread out," said Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's Anh Wood. "We believe in local solar not only because it is feeding customers right where they live, but we save on electron losses from larger projects far outside the city."
In Los Angeles, solar advocates see every rooftop as a potential power plant. And the days when electricity gurus dismissed distributed solar as too expensive are over. Today, rooftop solar is seen as a competitive and significant contributor to a utility's power portfolio.
Since 2009, when 16 companies sought permits to build large scale solar plants in the deserts east of Los Angeles, nine companies cancelled or postponed their projects. By contrast, rooftop solar installations jumped by 160 percent in each of the last two years.
"Panel prices have fallen 37 percent every year for the last 10 years," said Christian Wentzel of Solar Providers, a company that leases rooftops from commercial landlords to install solar panels. The electricity is then sold to DWP or Southern California Edison.
"Solar keeps falling compared to other sources like coal and nuclear," said Wentzel. "We produce power exactly where it is needed. We produce it and sell it at a fixed rate that is good for 20 years."
The solar industry remains highly subsidized. Forced by politicians and regulators to buy renewables, utilities paid exorbitant rates for solar power on long-term contracts to meet state requirements.
As part of the 2009 stimulus, the federal government paid 30 percent of the cost of large solar project construction costs and usually loaned them the rest at below-market rates. Utilities were then forced to pay excessive prices for the power – from $130 to $200 a megawatt hour, four to eight times more than the cost of conventional power from natural gas or coal, because of state green power mandates.
Even renewable power advocates like the Climate Policy Initiative in San Francisco admit California ratepayers will be paying exorbitantly for the state's early solar contracts. Case in point: the six-square-mile Ivanpah Solar Electricity Generating System near Blythe. The $2.2 billion project's investors, Google and NRG Energy, will share a $700 million dollar tax break, according to the policy group's study, while taxpayers will pay 43 cents for every dollar of energy the plant produces.
Their study is backed up by findings from a California Public Utilities Commission report, which found renewable power cost state ratepayers $6 billion in excess costs. Stanford University economist Frank Wolak says that translates into electricity rates 10 percent to 20 percent higher than they otherwise would have been.
Solar advocates say those days are over. The industry has matured and is no longer racing to meet unrealistic green power mandates.
"Costs have come down substantially," says Wood. "We still see solar as an important part of a balanced approach."

Public parking lots can be dangerous places for drivers and pedestrians. An exciting day at the mall shopping for sales and bargains can quickly turn into a painful experience after an accident in the parking lot. According to the National Safety Council, more than 60,000 people are injured and more than 500 are killed in public parking lots and garages every year.
Traffic safety studies show that two-thirds of drivers in public parking structures admit to being distracted while driving through the lot. Holiday sales and special sale events during the year make drivers especially vulnerable to distractions. Many drivers admit to distracted behavior from talking or texting on their cell phones, looking for convenient parking places, keeping an eye on pedestrians, and looking at sale signs and mall decorations. Some drivers even use their car navigation and video chat systems, take photos, and send emails while driving in public parking lots. A fairfax reckless driving lawyer often sees serious accidents that result from distracted driving behaviors.
Large crowds of shoppers increase accident risks for drivers and pedestrians. People who are getting in and out of their cars, walking through parking lots and garages, looking for elevators and stairways, and talking or texting on their cell phones are often injured by drivers. Although drivers may be traveling at slower speeds in the parking lot, pedestrians can be seriously injured if struck by a moving vehicle. When shopping centers, malls, and public places are very busy, the chances of accidents and injuries rise by as much as 20 percent.

Buy Your Ticket to Bombay Today¡
My dear colleague Dr. Okokon Udo and I have been thinking lately about what it is that pulls us forward in big steps toward the vision that we have for what we want to create in our lives. There are many things, we thing… but an important one is being willing to "buy your ticket to Bombay." And so, that 's the topic of this installment of our collaborative writing effort.
We just bought another pair of tickets to Bombay for ourselves! We have set a series of events in motion that will pull us forward toward a joint vision we have, especially in the moments when we forget, when we don't know how, and when we're convinced it is impossible. That's the point of buying tickets to Bombay.
W.H. Murray was a Scottish mountain climber, and a human being who knew a lot about creating something extraordinary from any circumstances. During World War II, he spent three years in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, Italy, and Czechoslovakia. While imprisoned and using whatever scraps of paper he could find, he wrote the first draft of his book, Mountaineering in Scotland. After it was discovered and destroyed by the Gestapo, he responded by starting again in spite of being near starvation.
Most famously, in 1951 he climbed Mount Everest. Imagine the world in 1951, and the prospect of climbing Mount Everest! The path was not yet known, there was no such thing as Gore-Tex, and certainly no cell phone. It was a venture that seemed impossible, but that was part of a clear vision and dream. His famous quote is often missing what has become, to us, the most important starting line. Here is the quote in its entirety:
… but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
True confessions. we're often lazy.
We get scared and get convinced that we shouldn't take risks.
Probably most significantly, we get anxious about our security and, well, comfort. We have learned that left purely to our own devices, we would often prefer to stay warm and cozy on the couch rather than venturing out into the snow storm. But, in our heart of hearts…. in that part of us that is most alive, vibrant, and connected… the truth is that we LIKE snow storms.
Our sense of what is potentially possible for us and the life that we want to live… the impact that we want to have… the fun, the adventure, the love, the intimacy, the challenge… has always been bigger than our current reality. For many years the dreams that we held inside and would barely dare to speak, too often remained just that — dreams. Too often, after not mustering the courage or chutzpah to take risks, our security and comfort, over time the dream would dim and fade, eventually dulling itself into a subtle regret.
Ugh. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Somewhere along the way, we learned about "booking our passage to Bombay." One of those times for me was about 7 years ago when my good friend from Colombia, Sonia, said to me: "I want you to come teach a coaching course with me in Colombia…." At the time, it seemed very far out of my comfort zone. I said to myself, "isn't that where people were being
kidnapped? Shouldn't I focus on clients in my own backyard?" And yet, listening more deeply, I could hear the rumblings of desire – a longing to stretch himself, to go beyond what he thought he could do, and a gut-level sense of YES, this is right. And so, before planning the course, before knowing who would be there, before knowing whether or not I could afford it, before the doubts became too rigidly fixed in his head…. I called American Airlines and booked my ticket to
Bogotá.
As Murray says, in that moment providence moved too. In that instant my entire frame of reference shifted out of the space of doubt and fear within the context of I CANNOT DO THIS, to eager nervous excitement in the context of OH MY GOD IM GOING TO DO THIS.
For Okokon, it was almost eight years ago, when he finally decided to quit his secure executive non-profit job in search of a yet undefined call to finally commit to what his late father referred to as being an engineer of souls. At the time the pay and benefits were excellent, he was the primary breadwinner of his family at time when his wife had just completed graduate school and was without a job. The risks were extremely high at the same time that the conviction was strong. So he did what he normally would not do. With everything at stake including three young children to raise, acting on his coach's searching question – "what are you afraid of?", bought his ticket to an uncertain future as a coach, public speaker and consultant.
Today, I bought another ticket to Bombay. At 4:00 today (January 20), I dropped my application in the mailbox for admission to the Process Work Institute graduate program in Conflict Facilitation and Organizational Change. Okokon is also "buying this ticket to Bombay" — his application is in process will follow in the mail soon…. (Hmmm…. Another lesson about how to pull ourselves forward toward an unreasonable vision is probably to align yourself with powerful allies — more on that in another blog!).
There are soooo many reasons for us to NOT do this.
We cannot afford it, and we don't have the time.
We both have way too many academic credentials and do not need or want another one.
We promised our spouses that we would never go back to school.
We already know a bit about facilitating conflict. We could go on.
Those are all real. And yet…. if we listen more deeply, we can hear other rumblings. There is something I and my partner Sonia aspire to. We want to go directly to the most wounded segments of Colombian society — the parts that have been brutalized by the civil war, those who have wielded the weapons of violence, and those that have been victims.
Okokon on his part will be a cheerleading partner on my Colombia quest while responding to the call to lean into the ever present religious and ethnic conflicts in Nigeria and the divisive challenges and conflicts in Turkey. It feels scary even as he thinks about it but this is not a matter of whether he will but how soon he can get going. He first experienced the brutality humans unleashed on each other during a thirty month civil war and again during several brutal religious conflicts that claimed thousands of innocent lives. The goal is to get to the systemic causes of conflicts in the first place and help the different sides explore and find other ways. And, he can count on me as his cheerleading partner in Nigeria.
In all of these efforts, we want to find ways to create reconciliation where it seems impossible and bring forward the essential part of humanity however far beneath the surface it has been buried. From where we now stand, those feel like incredibly audacious and ridiculously uncomfortable thing to aspire to – it is way outside our comfort zones. We know, too, that left completely to our own devices, we most likely will shy away from taking bold action to make those dreams real.
We also know that if we put ourselves in the Process Work Institute program (which requires solid fieldwork) it will give us a structure that will absolutely make this work real, however much kicking and squirming we might do along the way. There is something powerful about listening deeply to our heart's most unreasonable and audacious desire. To hear those rumblings and then ask ourselves: "What could I do that would pull me forward on this journey even when I want to back-out?" And then, on faith, buy your ticket to Bombay.
We know that when we "buy our ticket to Bombay" and it stems from that place of desire, it is an act of creation – and it feels so different from reacting to life's circumstances. It feels to us like the distinction that Robert Fritz makes between creativity and problem-solving. He says: "There is a profound difference between problem solving and creating. Problem solving is taking action to have something go away – the problem. Creating is taking action to have something come into being – the creation. Most of us have been raised in a tradition of problem solving and have had little real exposure to the creative process." (Fritz, Robert 1989. The Path of Least Resistance, page 31).
There is a passage from the KJV translation of the New Testament which states that "faith is the evidence of things not seen" (Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 1). It is akin to Senge's notion of "presencing" — of feeling into the future that is unfolding and giving it room to come into being. We want to become ever-more able to listen to the heartbeat of what our soul longs for — for the future that is eager and ripe to unfold if we will only allow it to do so.
And so, we ask YOU:
What are the rumblings in your soul that you can barely hear, that have you almost lose your breath if you dare to listen to them?
What would be YOUR ticket to Bombay? What would be the bold action that puts both of your feet solidly on the boat in a way that makes it much more difficult to turn back?
What do you know about audacious goals, and going after them?
With love and gratitude —- Art and Okokon

Wow! How inspiring to read your post, Art! I love both of your "quests" and want to be your champion and resident cheerleader!
My ticket to Bombay (thanks for asking!). To RUN the Nike half marathon in the fall. ..10 minutes/1 minute (10 minutes of running to 1 minute of walking). I refuse to judge this as too small. I tend to readily GIVE myself to larger initiatives that serve the world and neglect those that serve ME. So, I'll attend to this one and declare it here. . .oh, and I want my sister Deigh to be with me. I long for even more connection to her and this will be a solid vehicle for me.
Thanks Art (and Okokon!).

From W.H. Murray "Scottish Himalayan Expedition" (1951): ... but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"

Start with managing your data estate.
Intelligence comes from ideas, not numbers.
Turn data into real business intelligence.
Digital transformation means gleaning every insight, every efficiency, every opportunity to succeed in your market from your systems, your people, your processes and, most importantly, your data. If your business is like most organisations, you don't suffer from a lack of data – but you may be short on insights.
Artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and machine learning can only deliver on the promise of those revolutionary insights if they have high-quality data to act on. You've heard the saying "garbage in, garbage out." This clearly applies to your data management, data governance and data quality practices. How you organise your data, manage, govern, secure and industrialise it, could be the difference between success and failure in today's digital world.
The data landscape at many organisations has evolved over time. It now includes sensor/IoT data, imagery, real-time streams, social, historical and even document repositories to help solve business problems. Layering in AI capabilities adds to the need for good data management practices to accelerate business results.
Realising those results requires a strategic view and outside-the-box thinking. You need to have quality data to address business problems, and you need to be managing it well to get what you need from it. The data management, data dictionary, data governance and quality standards you set can help you speed up problem solving.
Key to success is understanding who has the data today, who will own it tomorrow, and who will ensure it stays up to date and organised. What best practices will you create, and what services, platforms and resources will you use to build scale, efficiency and speed?
Avanade can help you answer those questions so you can standardise and operationalise your data and get the most from your existing data estate.

The Storage Group Launches StorageForce Website Platform for Self-Storage Operators
The Storage Group (TSG), an Internet-marketing company serving the self-storage industry, has introduced StorageForce, a website platform that allows self-storage operators to update their facility websites themselves. Users will be able to add Web pages or change photos on their own, or they can continue to have TSG manage their updates. The new platform will also allow TSG to make global changes to customers' websites as search engine algorithms evolve.
TSG clients can choose from a custom or preset website design. StorageForce is a responsive platform that will adjust to fit any mobile device, according to a company press release. Additional features include a multi-device, online-rental integration via the company's ClickandStor software, a lead follow-up and management system, and a content-management system. No annual contract is required to use the new platform.
TSG will offer demonstrations of the new Web platform at its booth, No. 707, at the Self Storage Association (SSA) Fall Conference and Tradeshow in Las Vegas, Sept. 9-12.
"The StorageForce website platform allows for developing customer loyalty through performance and results rather than a long-term contract," says Steve Lucas, director of sales. "We look forward to sharing this wonderful new product at the SSA's fall conference and tradeshow and feel sure that attendees visiting our booth will be impressed. This is the perfect time and venue to be rolling out such a great product."
Based in Maitland, Fla., TSG provides online tools and marketing solutions to the self-storage industry. The company's customized services include mobile websites, website development, content management, search engine optimization, online rentals, pay-per-click marketing and transparent reporting/analysis.

Professor Bobo is een personage uit de televisieserie Mystery Science Theater 3000. Hij deed mee in de laatste drie seizoenen als assistent van Pearl Forrester. Hij werd gespeeld door Kevin Murphy.

Bobo is geen mens maar een intelligente gorilla uit het jaar 2525. Zijn persoonlijkheid is een mix van verschillende wetenschappers. Bobo zelf komt blijkbaar van een lange lijn van gerespecteerde apen en slimme primaten. Desondanks valt hij vaak terug op primitieve acties en wensen.

In de eerste paar afleveringen dat hij meedeed, runde Bobo een laboratorium gefinancierd door de "Lawgiver". Deze Lawgiver is in werkelijkheid Pearl Forrester, die op deze manier Professor Bobo gebruikte om de filmexperimenten voort te zetten. Toen zijn planeet werd vernietigd, werd Bobo een handlanger van Pearl.

Bobo was een van de weinige schurken die zelf een keer de Satellite of Love heeft bezocht. Hij deed dit in aflevering 822 - Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.

Ondanks zijn titel van professor beschikt Bobo vrijwel niet over wetenschappelijke kennis. In de laatste aflevering van de serie kreeg hij een baantje in een dierentuin.

Mix together the garlic, lemon grass, basil, turmeric, yogurt and some seasoning. Spoon over to coat the cod and leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Arrange the cod fillets on a baking sheet.
Preheat the grill. Grill the fish for 3–4 minutes on each side, turning once until the flesh is firm and opaque. Lightly steam the mange tout. Place the cod on top of the mange tout and serve with rice.
You can replace the cod with any firm white fish such as haddock or pollack.
The aromatic flavours of basil and lemongrass favour a crisp rosé that's both elegant and full of flavour. Try Foncaussade Les Parcelles Rosé 2009 Bergerac, South of France.


"To sell or not to sell my car?" A question posed in any vehicle owner's mind at some point in time. There are various reasons you may fear the journey of going car-less, but for the Brisbane residents or visitors, it may not be such a terrible idea. The Brisbane transport system offers many options for getting around as well as out of town. The cheapest and easier way to become one of these wild-spirited public transportees is to go to one of the 600 outlets or 7-11s and purchase a Translink electronic ticket, called a "Go card". Go cards can be topped up with any amount of cash to be used on trains, buses, and even ferries, and cost 30% less than buying single use tickets. The Translink website has a journey planner you can use to map out your travels or commutes and there's even a Nightlink that runs from 12-5am on Fridays and Saturdays.
An early morning commute down the Brisbane river by Citycat ferry.
One of the most beautiful features in Brisbane is the the sparkling Brisbane River, longest in Southeast Queensland, that snakes it's way through the city and into Moreton Bay. The river is used as a major vehicle for transportation to various suburbs and can be accessed through the Citycat which runs the length of the river, or the normal ferries which span the width from port to port. Using the ferry to get around can take a little bit longer than buses depending on your route, but the extra time during the ride can be spent out on the deck in the Queensland sun, watching various restaurants and parks cruise by on the surrounding banks. If you want to get further out and visit the islands of Moreton Bay you can hire a water taxi for a small group.
One of the most popular destinations reach via water transportation is the bustling mecca that is Southbank. There is a contemporary art museum, a state library that shows films on Sundays, a weekend night market, and a herb and tea garden. There are often live music events playing at the amphitheatre as well as crowds of people on blankets enjoying the sun at the picnic island green area or bathing in the man-made lagoon in Streets beach. Southbank's diversity of attractions spans from trendy cafes and shops on Little Stanley Street to a Nepalese traditional pagoda and even a wishing well. It's almost better not to have a car in Brisbane so you can be a Southbank regular and never worry about parking.
Southbank regulars enjoying the warm waters in man-made Streets Beach.
If you prefer to enjoy the waters further out of town, the train lines will take you far enough out to visit both the Gold Coast and the Sunshine coast, with a short bus transfer at the end of the line.
If you take the train from Roma Street Station in the CBD to Nambour, you can get the 631 bus for a 20 minute ride to the Eumundi Aquatic Centre. The whole trip takes about two and a half hours and can be done entirely via your Go card. From there you're ready to explore the quaint and quirky town of Eumundi, just inland from the white-sand coastline. If you go on Wednesdays and Saturdays then you can wander around the famous Eumundi Markets which seems to have hundreds of stalls with local artisanal products and crafts, live music and a whole section devoted to food stalls.
Visitors checking out local crafts at the Eumundi market.
After you stock up on snacks and funky clothing, you can hop back on the 631 from where you got off and take it all the way to Noosa heads for a swim or surf in the ocean, or to walk along trails in the National Park. To get back to Brisbane, just hope take the reverse trip. Once you're back in the city you can take various local buses to almost every suburb from the CBD. If you hop on route 471 it will take you up to the Mount Coot-tha lookout, which is recommended in the previous post on scenic drives.
A stroll along the boardwalk at Noosa Heads.
If you've just sold your car in Brisbane and you aren't convinced yet about getting your own transportation pass, then you can see how you go on the various free options around the city first. Both the City Loop and the Spring Hill Loop buses will take you to several destinations in and out of the CBD, and the city hopper is a ferry service running on the half hour, not bad!
If you're still not into the whole public transportation thing and you're already planning your next vehicle purchase for your Brisbane journeys, then check out the scenic drives at https://www.areyouselling.com.au/blog/sell-my-car-drive-brisbane/ and plan your next adventure.


No prob, I packed a couple of baggage and off I went, my paint and sip enterprise consumer had adopted all of my advice and it was all set up, so I did my factor and all went effectively.

The weird food obsessions of the 20th century's worst dictators
By Julia Belluz@juliaoftoronto Dec 5, 2014, 12:00pm EST
Share All sharing options for: The weird food obsessions of the 20th century's worst dictators
Hitler's chronic flatulence might have been the cause of his evangelical vegetarianism.
Elzbieta Sekowska/Shutterstock
The authors of a forthcoming book, Dictators' Dinners, take a fascinating look at the eccentric food preferences of the 20th century's worst tyrants.
Writing in the BBC, Victoria Clark and Melissa Scott give readers a taste of the weird tales they collected:
Hitler's chronic flatulence may have accounted for his becoming a vegetarian and to his allowing a quack doctor named Theodore Morrell to dose him with as many 28 different medicines, including one made of extract of Bulgarian peasants' faeces.
On the other hand, famously flatulent Muammar Gaddafi seems to have been untroubled by his affliction. Midway through World War Two, a failing Mussolini was examined by a Nazi doctor who pronounced him dangerously constipated.
Mao Zedong, a passionate carnivore, was a lifelong martyr to his bowel movements: "I eat a lot and I excrete a lot," he happily reported in a letter to a comrade in his early days. Much later, on a visit to the USSR to meet Stalin, he would find to his fury that he could not excrete at all - the squatting type of toilet he was used to was unavailable in Moscow.
North Korea's Kim Il-sung, they write, would only eat individually selected rice grains, while the Romanian Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu sometimes avoided solid food, opting for raw vegetable juice sucked up through a straw.
Surprisingly, Stalin was an ardent picnicker, and Yugoslavia's Tito liked to munch on warm pig fat.
To learn more about the book, which arrives at the end of December, see here.

Opinion #132. Deletion from Firm Letterhead of Name of Attorney Who Has Been Suspended from the Practice of Law
Date Issued: April 12, 1993
The Professional Ethics Commission has been asked by Bar Counsel whether the Bar Rules require deletion of the name of an attorney who has been suspended from practice from the name and letterhead of the law firm with which the attorney is affiliated.
The Commission had concluded that the Bar Rule 3.9(b) requires dropping the name of the suspended attorney from all "public communications" of the law firm with which he is affiliated, one of which is the firm letterhead, until such time as the attorney has been authorized to resume the practice of law.
Unlike the former ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility and the present Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the Maine Bar Rules contain no provision directly addressing the content of a law firm name. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility contained fairly detailed instructions in DR2‑102(b), one of which prohibited practice under a firm name containing names "other than those of one or more of the lawyers in the firm", subject to an exception permitting names of "deceased or retired members of the firm", if otherwise lawful. The Model Rules, somewhat closer to the Maine Rules, prohibit the use of any law firm name that would violate the general ban on false or misleading public communications. Model Rule 7.5(a). Like the Model Code, however, Model Rule 7.5(c) expressly prohibits continued use in a firm name of the name of the lawyer who has been elected or appointed to public office unless the simultaneous practice of law is permissible.
Maine Bar Rule 3.9(a) prohibits in general terms the use of any form of public communication containing "a false, fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive statement or claim." The rule explains that the term "public communication" includes letterheads and therefore the name of the firm. Rule 3.9(b) defines the prohibited statements as including, among others, any statement that:
(2) omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statement, in light of all circumstances, not misleading; (3) is intended or is likely to create an unjustified expectation; **** (5) is intended, or is likely to convey the impression that the lawyer is in a position to influence improperly any court, tribunal, or other public body or official; or (6) contains a representation or implication that is likely to cause an ordinary prudent person to misunderstand. . . .
Opinion 13 of the Grievance Commission, this Commission's forerunner in issuing advisory opinions interpreting the Code of Professional Responsibility, explained the reasons why, and circumstances under which, a violation of Rule 3.9 could arise out of retaining the name of a lawyer who had been appointed or elected to public office in a firm name.
In the opinion of the Commission continued use of the name of a lawyer suspended from the practice of law is likewise a violation of Rule 3.9. Unlike use of the name of a public official, there seems little danger that prospective clients would think the firm had influence in high places if it continues use of a suspended lawyer's name. There is, however, a risk that the general public will perceive the disciplinary process as somewhat lacking in meaning, or in force, if appearances suggest that a suspended lawyer continues to participate in the work, the profits, and the prestige of a law firm, as if nothing has happened. There is also a risk that clients and potential clients will think that the suspended lawyer continues to share responsibility for the debts of the firm and for its malpractice, if any. Such continued use of the lawyer's name therefore violates Rule 3.9(b)(2). It seems quite clear that continued use of the name contains at least an "implication that is likely to cause an ordinary prudent person to misunderstand". This alone would make continued use of the name a violation. In the commission's opinion, that would be the case if the suspended lawyer's name appeared anywhere in a public communication of the firm in a manner that, from its appearance or from nondisclosure, suggests that the suspended lawyer enjoys a relationship with the firm comparable to that of a retired partner.
