Skullcandy is a cutting-edge brand offering headphones, earbuds and Bluetooth speakers for sports and gaming. Like many growing small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), Skullcandy came from humble beginnings.
Now they generate over $250 million in revenue. At the 2016 SAP SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, Brian Fanzo and Daniel Newman caught up with Mark Hopkins, senior director of IT at Skullcandy, and asked him about how they used SAP Business ByDesign to implement such fast growth.
SAP Cloud ERP Solution
Hopkins explained that when they began using SAP Business ByDesign in 2008, they were much smaller, generating around $70 million in billings, and wanted a system that didn't need a lot of IT infrastructure to manage: "The SAP Cloud ERP solution was really appealing to us. We didn't need to hire an IT department to run our ERP system."
International Growth
Today, the company offers a full range of products in 70 countries, and there are several company entities running on SAP. In 2011, Skullcandy issued an IPO, and SAP helped make the process smooth and efficient. Hopkins said, "Using the SAP Business ByDesign solution enabled us to check all the boxes for auditors and IPO requirements."
Focus on Small and Midsize Business
Is Hopkins surprised SAP is focused on helping small businesses and mid-size companies? He said that SAP has proven to be a long-term value, because when they implemented it in 2008, they had no idea they were going to grow so large. SAP had the capabilities that fostered their rapid growth already built in.
For example, in 2012, when they set up European operations, local language and currency functionality were working on day one. Hopkins said, "It was built into the product from the beginning. It was already there when we needed it."
Run Simple With SAP
Growing a business in the digital economy isn't easy. But more than 250,000 small and midsize companies are making it easier by running SAP. With SAP Business ByDesign, companies get everything from ERP and CRM to procurement and supply chain management in a simple cloud solution, from a single provider.
With SAP, companies can streamline processes and boost efficiency across an organization. Users can access insights and analytics from anywhere, making it easier to make instant, yet informed, decisions. They can Run Simple, managing an entire business with a partner they'll never outgrow, no matter where business takes them.

Sometimes you wake up, and desire a substantial breakfast instead of another bowl of Multi-grain Cheerios. This morning was one of those mornings.
As I started poking through the fridge, I realized that I could make a scramble – not an omlette; the outer "crust" where the eggs seal together has never been appealing to me – and by digging deeper into the recesses I found some items that would lend well to me trying out something new.
Mmmmmm. Sounds good already, right?
So this one was pretty simple. I browned up the diced shallots with a tab of butter (3 min over medium heat), and then added the mushrooms and the asparagus, which I had cut into bite-sized pieces.
After another four minutes in the pan, I transferred the veggies to a bowl, and started the eggs for a minute with another small tab of butter.
As the eggs started to firm up, I crumbled about four tablespoons of herb-coated goat cheese on top, and folded in the veggies.
The result was – while not the prettiest – absolutely delicious!

Could the Unlikely Hero of 'Independence Day' Have Really Learned How to Fly a Fighter Jet in One Night?
Fighting a horde of aliens is no small task, but then again, neither is operating an F/A-18 jet. So we asked some military pilots: Could Russell Casse have actually saved the world?

20th Century Fox/Ringer illustration
2020's summer blockbuster season has been put on hold because of the pandemic, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the movies from the past that we flocked out of the sun and into air conditioning for. Welcome to The Ringer's Return to Summer Blockbuster Season, where we'll feature different summer classics each week.
So many great literary and historical moments have stemmed from one unlikely hero volunteering to perform a difficult task: The young David answering Goliath's challenge armed with only a sling; Brandi Chastain stepping up to take the decisive penalty kick in a World Cup final; Theseus navigating the labyrinth to slay the minotaur. The same is true of Independence Day, the 1996 film in which aliens threaten to exterminate humanity only to be turned back by one engineer and a small team of pilots. The plot of Independence Day, like many real-life military conflicts, had several crucial turning points, from the discovery of the alien pilot to the counterattack at Area 51 to Jeff Goldblum's David Levinson infecting the alien mother ship with a fatal computer virus. But one of those moments is especially poetic.
The night before the film's climactic July 4 battle, the straightlaced Air Force commander of Area 51, Major Mitchell (Adam Baldwin), stands before a crowd of refugees who'd driven in from the desert and says into his bullhorn, "We're asking that anyone with any flight experience come forward. Military training is preferable, but anyone who can fly a plane would be useful."
Into that breach steps Russell Casse (Randy Quaid), a hard-drinking Vietnam veteran turned crop duster, frequently absent single father of three, and survivor of an alien abduction 10 years prior. Wearing an unkempt beard and a Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned to his sternum, he tilts his bottle of brown liquor toward Major Mitchell and utters the immortal line: "I can fly. I'm pilot."
At dawn the next morning, Russell finds himself in the cockpit of a Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, flying a mission to determine the fate of humanity. ("Mankind … that word should have new meaning for all of us today …") Eventually, with the alien ship about to obliterate Area 51 and his last missile unable to fire due to a malfunction, Russ turns his fighter skyward and crashes into the alien vessel's main weapon, killing himself but taking down the enemy ship in the process. His self-sacrifice saves the day, and indeed, the world.
But could Russell, whose last jet experience was 20 years in the past and who had just one night's worth of classroom instruction, have even flown an F/A-18 into combat?
Suffice it to say, real-life Hornet pilots get much more thorough training.
'Independence Day' Is the Ultimate, All-Encompassing Sci-Fi Film
Roland Emmerich Is the True King of Explosions
"About 70 hours in a prop plane and then, like, 200 hours in a single-engine jet. After that, you get your first flight in an F/A-18," says Lieutenant Commander Matt Langford, a U.S. Navy aviator who's spent the past decade flying the F/A-18. And he's just describing time in the actual cockpit—pilot trainees also receive extensive classroom and simulator instruction before they even get off the ground. "Basically, from my graduation from college to my first combat flight was about five years.
"I could teach you to fly an airplane in about 30 minutes," Langford says. "It's really similar to driving a car, just in three dimensions. But the F/A-18 is just monumentally complex."
Now, Russell would've had a lot of that training before he flew combat missions in Vietnam. The film never directly states which branch of the military Russell flew for, let alone what kind of aircraft, but the local news coverage of Russell's arrest early in the film features a file photo of a young Russell standing in front of an F-4 Phantom, the two-seat jet that served as the primary American fighter in the 1960s and 1970s. It feels safe, therefore, to assume he had substantial experience in a jet-powered combat aircraft.
Which is good, because crop-dusting is poor preparation for flying a supersonic jet.
"I think someone who had flown F-4s, even if they took a moderate time off, would have had some level of what we call air sense, which is the ability to have your body be moved around the sky in weird ways and still think about where the plane is going and what you want to do," says U.S. Navy Captain Doug Peterson, commanding officer of Naval Air Station Lemoore in California. Peterson's been flying the F/A-18 since 1999, and has more than 3,000 flying hours and 750 carrier landings on his résumé.
"Having flown the F-4 would have prepared [Russ to fly] at the speeds that another supersonic jet, like an F/A-18, could do," Peterson says. "I think the crop dusters wouldn't help very much at all. That's an entirely different kind of flying and can actually be kind of detrimental had he not had the prior jet time."
There's an obvious world of difference between Russell's Boeing-Stearman Model 75 crop duster and an F/A-18, but even though the F-4 and F/A-18 are both supersonic fighter-bombers built by the same manufacturer, transitioning from one to the other is no small task. The F-4 has a crew of two: a pilot and what used to be called a radar intercept officer (RIO), who operated the weapons and sensors. (This setup should be familiar to anyone who's seen Top Gun.) While there are two-seat versions of the F/A-18, the one pictured in the film is the single-seat F/A-18 C, and Russell would likely have had a hard time adjusting.
"I've actually gone through the opposite," Peterson says. "Most of my career was single seat, and I hadn't flown with an NFO [naval flight officer, the current title for the backseat crew member] until very recently, and this is a big adjustment for me. I was used to doing everything myself, so it's hard for me to give tasks to the other person and still track them. And the opposite would be true. It's a little harder to take in tasks that you're not used to, but it is doable."
And the weapons, avionics, and instrumentation would have changed dramatically from the Vietnam era to the mid-1990s. The first Navy jet Peterson ever flew was a T-2 Buckeye, which was designed around the same time as the F-4. "The joking phrase we would use is 'a steam gauge cockpit,' meaning that everything was dials and needles and mechanical, with big knobs and old switches," Peterson says.
By the time the F/A-18 C was introduced in the 1980s, Navy combat planes had "glass cockpits," with the old analog instruments replaced by digital ones, and a heads-up display projecting critical telemetry right into the pilot's line of sight.
To bring someone like Russell up to speed in one night with only classroom training, the instructor would have to strip things down to the bare minimum. Or as the film's Major Mitchell put it, "You'll have to forgive the expression, but you're about to get a crash course in modern avionics." That would be a massive pedagogical challenge, but Peterson seemed to enjoy thinking up a way to tackle it.
"The very first thing I'd do, before I even got into the room with all these guys, is make a short bulleted checklist that I'd hand to each one of them that they could strap to their knee," he says. "One page that's going to cover every step I'm about to teach them so they have it the whole time. I'd teach them how to start the jet, which would be vastly different in the Hornet than it would have been in the F-4."
With that accomplished, Peterson would move on to some critical instruments to keep an eye on and actions to take in case the plane malfunctioned or took damage. "We call those emergency actions, and there are procedures you do to deal with them," he says. "I'd probably pick the top two or three that might get them killed right away and say, 'OK, remember this.' Then I'd move on to teaching them how to take off and land, because I want them to plan to land."
While I admire Peterson's optimism, the pilots' inexperience and the implacable enemy before them make it unlikely that many of them would get to learn this newfound skill. Finally, the pilots in Independence Day are shown using three distinct weapons systems—guns, heat-seeking missiles, and radar-guided missiles—but Peterson says he'd teach his pilots only one, just for simplicity's sake. Not a bad idea, considering that Russell's most effective weapon turns out to be the jet itself.
It's only through dozens of unlikely plot contrivances that Russell gets his chance to save humanity. Sure, it's unlikely that genocidal aliens would show up on our doorstep, and Peterson pointed out that even if they did, it's also unlikely that the U.S. military would have a surfeit of combat-ready planes but no pilots to fly them. But returning to the original question: Could Russell, after 20 years away from military service, hop into the cockpit of an F/A-18 and save the day?
"It's not outlandish to think that you could put somebody in an F/A-18, especially if they have previous aviation experience," Langford says. And though the real-life aviator doubts Russell would've been able to operate the plane's complex weapons system, "I think he could take off and land it fine."
Sending rusty or inexperienced pilots into combat with nothing but a one-page checklist is hardly Plan A for planetary defense, but it's plausible that a pilot with Russell's experience could have put himself in a position to save the world. From there, true heroes need only the opportunity.

Corn Nation's Top 10 Stories From The Year 2016
Well, maybe not the "best", but certainly the most read.
By Jon Johnston@CornNation Jan 25, 2017, 10:04am CST
Share All sharing options for: Corn Nation's Top 10 Stories From The Year 2016
David McGee
Consider this a 2016 Year In Review, at least from the website's perspective. I still plan on doing my own 2016 Year In Review and that will be out hopefully in the next few days. I know you will be hanging on the edge of your seat waiting for it.
I know the proper timeline for publishing these things is before the actual year end, but that never made sense to me. It's like voting for All – American players before the season is ended and that's exactly what happens now. It is ridiculous, in fact, so ridiculous that I haven't bothered to vote the past few seasons.
The website didn't see any real growth this year in terms of traffic numbers. In fact, we dropped slightly. That drop is attributed to two things;
Without going into a lot of detail, we didn't see nearly as much traffic from referral partners as we had in the past. I'll leave that statement for what it is.
Traffic dropped precipitously right after the Wisconsin loss. Part of that reason may have been due to the rest of the nation seeing Nebraska as a Top 10 team but that excitement about our beloved Huskers went away immediately due to that loss.
Here are our numbers for the year:
From Jan 1st, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016 we did 3,962,664 visits.
From Jan 1st, 2015 to Dec 31, 2015 we did 3,974,101
Below is a list of the top stories from 2016. These are ranked by page views. The top 10 listed below are the actual top 10 in terms of page views. Once you get past the top 10 I included some stories I felt were of interest but were necessarily highly ranked in terms of reads.
Bob Devaney To Paul Bear Bryant: Joe Paterno "No Good For Football" - 99,711 page views
This was our top-viewed article of the past year. I thought it might get some traction because it involved three of the top coaches in college football history; Bob Devaney, Paul Bear Bryant, and Joe Paterno, but I was unprepared for the reaction to the bit below:
Forget what you think about Joe Paterno's legacy, and all the jokes you could make about Paterno "being no good for football"; the concerns elevated by Paterno illustrate the idea that there is nothing new under the sun.
Apparently if you write the words "Joe Paterno's legacy" together, there are robots on the Internet that hunt you down to determine whether what you said is positive or negative and if it can be construed at all as negative the Joe Paterno apologists come after you.
I was surprised by the reaction both here and on twitter because the article in whole is pretty positive toward Paterno. Unfortunately everyone is so damn sensitive these days that they worry about every single phrase or word written or said.
Nebraska Punter Sam Foltz Killed In Automobile Wreck Sunday Morning - 43,683 page views
It's pretty obvious why this story is near the top. It's easily the top story about Nebraska football in 2016. We learned a lot about Sam in the past months since his passing. We learned that he was outgoing, well-liked, and giving. We learned that he was the soul of the football team.
For those of us who didn't know him personally, the tributes became a weekly ritual but not much more (if we're honest with ourselves). For those that did know him personally he will remain forever young and they will be left to think of what could've been.
Nebraska WR Coach Keith Williams Arrested Sunday Morning For Driving Under The Influence - 39,979 page views
Brian broke the story several hours before anyone else in Nebraska's media had a clue as to what it happened. At the time it seemed like Williams would be dismissed, but it turned out that Nebraska did not hold any previous DUIs against him when he was hired because they had occurred so far in the past.
This story so far has been pretty much forgotten.
SDR: Jim Harbaugh Is Mad At Mike Riley, Chase Allen Decision Soon, Noah Fant Talk - 36,617 page views
I'm not 100% sure why this story got so many page views but I'd have to go with the fact that it mentions Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh gets page views no matter what he does nor what he says. Harbaugh is viewed as a winner despite the fact that Michigan lost three of their last four games.
It will be very interesting to see how they do in the next couple seasons because they lose a lot of players this year.
"We Are Marshall" And "The Marshall Story" - Hollywood vs Reality - 33,444 page views
This story is from 2007. I'm not going to look it up but this easily has to be the top story that CornNation has ever produced in terms of views. It's in our top 10 every year as the Marshall Story continues to resonate with fans. Page views go up every time the movie is shown on TV.
Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz Tosses Shade At The NCAA Using Nebraska QB Tanner Lee As An Example - 32,947 page views
Everyone in college football loves to abuse Kirk Ferentz. He gets paid a crap load of money, his buyout is ridiculous and even the Iowa fans abuse him. Therefore it's no shock that when Kirk gets mentioned on our website that people pile on.
Tom Osborne Talks About The Current State Of Nebraska Football - 29,586 page views
Any story that includes "Nebraska football" and "Tom Osborne" is popular. It doesn't matter what it is nor what Tom has to say people want to know. It's still disappointing after all these years that he is yet to release his recipe for homemade kolaches.
Wrigley Field's Organist plays "There Is No Place Like Nebraska" Before Game 3 Of The 2016 World Series - 25,698 page views
This is a shock. Perhaps it should be given that the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series was one of the biggest stories in sports of 2016.
Brian had asked whether or not he should put it on the site is a fan shot and I said yes is an off-the-cuff statement. People ate it up. I am dumb.
Kenny Bell Solves Nebraska's License Plate Debacle - 24,055 page views
What is it with people in Nebraska and their license plates? It seems like no matter what happens, people are unhappy with any new license plate design. Is this because they hate change all around or because license plates are incredibly personal and must reflect all that's good about the state?
This year there was controversy in that the design on the license plate was odd (being kind) and it ended up that the design was copied from Michigan State.
In any case, Kenny Bell saved the day and you read about it here.
The Morning After: Wisconsin - 24,055 page views
It's my belief that our 2016 season would've turned out completely different had we won the game at Camp Randall. It was an excellent game against a very good team on their home field at night. Nebraska fought all the way int over time but in the end just couldn't pull out the win.
Nebraska's season died at that point. It was a huge disappointment and you could tell in hindsight that there was something about the team that was unable to bounce back. The same could be said for the fans.
Nebraska Announces Their 2016 Alternate Uniform To Be Worn Vs. Northwestern - 23,591 page views
Alternate uniforms. Always a popular topic, just like license plates.
This always surprises me, as if I should be shocked by now. Course, if you asked my wife and kids they'd tell you I have absolutely no fashion sense, that if I'm not a slob I might be something close to it. I just think I'm getting older and who gives a flock.
Stadium Dr. Rumblings: Nebraska's Staff In-Home Tonight With Safety Target Isaiah Simmons - 23,104 page views
Recruiting remains an amazingly huge topic everywhere in college football. I think I'll discuss this more in a separate article but kudos to Brian for handling all of our recruiting coverage and doing an excellent job with it.
College Football Targeting Rule Still Confuses, Angers Fans - 18,825 page views
The only thing worse than the targeting rule is the targeting rule and having Ed Cunningham try to explain it. Fans are confused because it's not consistently called from game to game, but that should not be confusing because it is being called by human beings and human beings are inherently fallible.
This was an article I did to try to explain the targeting rule. I'm surprised, honestly, that it didn't get more traffic.
How Hannah Huston Found Her Voice - 17,802 page views
Hannah Huston became a Nebraska celebrity this past year competing on "The Voice". Our website did its best to support her and I might say that we were out in front of her celebrity status before everyone else. Good job David!
I always welcome feedback about how we're doing here at CornNation. I think you guys are pretty good at giving it.
Was there anything that stuck out about this last year? Discuss.

It's been said that if you want to be a martyr then live with a saint. I'm sure I have often, and for the most part unknowingly, been in the company of saints. But on one particular occasion I had the experience of a short conversation and exchange with someone who is to be officially recognised as such by the Church on 4 September.
Mother Teresa was in Armagh visiting her small group of sisters in their newly established home there as well as taking time to meet a large, ecumenical group of clerics gathered in her honour. In an age before the dreaded 'selfie', someone had asked if I could get Mother Teresa to autograph one of the books which bore her name as author. Under the less than enthusiastic eye of Cardinal Cahal Daly, I tentatively proffered the volume with a pen and without hesitation Mother Teresa began to write, smiling gently as she did so; 'You know Father, I don't write these books'. Addressing the gathering, she then told a humorous story of Saint Pope John Paul II's visit to her Calcutta Home for the Dying. The problem was, she explained with a bell-like laugh, that when he arrived no one was actually dying so she felt obliged to find some who looked poorly enough to receive his blessing. She clearly enjoyed dramatising and telling the story.
Strength, humour and kindness were as evident as the famous lines of care on her face. Later, I heard a story of how on an earlier visit to South America reporters had crowded around the tiny figure on airport tarmac asking what plans she had for her visit. A visiting politician might have made the most of the occasion to wax eloquent. Mother uttered three words from the Gospel: 'Come and see'.
While she enjoyed the friendship of St Pope John Paul II, it seems utterly appropriate that Pope Francis should preside over her canonisation. Mother Teresa prepared the way imaginatively for a pope whose preferential priority for the poor, authenticity of voice and clarity of purpose echoes the qualities of 'the saint of the gutter' and resonates with what the world, secular and religious, believes a saint to be. Her call to make of our life of faith 'something beautiful for God' continues to offer inspiration to those committed to healing our broken world. And especially at this time of global turmoil when so many innocent lives are being randomly extinguished by an ugly and distorted vision of God her canonisation affirms once more the vision which guided her ministry which saw every human life as sacred and worthy of respect.

Shell And HTEC launch Canada's first retail hydrogen vehicle refuelling station
This station is the first of three sites that Shell and HTEC plan to open in Vancouver
Calgary - Today, Shell and Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (HTEC), launched Canada's first retail hydrogen refuelling station for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, located at 8686 Granville Street. This is the first retail hydrogen vehicle refuelling station in Canada open to the public, and the first of three sites that Shell and HTEC plan to open in Vancouver.
"After bringing hydrogen refuelling sites to other markets globally, we are excited to work with Vancouver-based technology provider, HTEC, to add even more locations to our growing network," said Oliver Bishop, GM of Hydrogen for Shell. "This is early days for hydrogen in Canada, but we believe hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles have the potential to be an important part of a future low-carbon transport system."
Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles convert hydrogen into electricity and produce only heat and water when driven. They offer an alternative to the conventional internal combustion engine, a driving experience similar to battery electric vehicles, and zero local emissions. Hydrogen vehicles can drive up to 700 kilometers and can be refuelled in a few minutes at a standard station with a hydrogen dispenser.
The launch of the Vancouver station follows similar openings in the UK, California, and in Germany, where Shell is part of a joint venture with the ambition to open a network of up to 400 hydrogen sites by 2023. Shell is also assessing the potential of future projects in the United States, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, China and the Netherlands.
"Working with HTEC to bring hydrogen refuelling to Vancouver is one of many exciting ways we are advancing cleaner energy solutions and evolving to meet the changing expectations of customers," said Michael Crothers, Shell Canada President and Country Chair. "Canada is well suited to capitalize on the energy transition thanks to the ingenuity of Canadians and our willingness to work together. We're grateful for the collaboration between industry and government that was instrumental in making this station a reality."
Critical investment in the station comes from LGM Financial Services, along with funding from both the Provincial and Federal governments, through the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and Western Economic Diversification Canada's WINN initiative respectively.
"HTEC is proud to be partnering with Shell to build three retail hydrogen stations as part of a six-station network in Greater Vancouver and Victoria," said Colin Armstrong, CEO of HTEC. "Refuelling infrastructure must be in place to support hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle rollouts and it's exciting to see Canada's first wave of retail hydrogen refuelling stations being built here in BC."
Shell is investing in the development of new fuels. We believe that all fuel and vehicle options will be required over the coming decades to meet growing demand for transport, reduce CO2 emissions, improve air quality and respond to changing customer needs.
About hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicles:
Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are one of the technological innovations that help reduce emissions and address air pollution while offering convenience for motorists.
Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are powered by electricity and only produce water vapour, helping to improve local air quality.
Hydrogen technology has potential to store energy easily and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles do not produce CO2, or other harmful emissions from their tailpipe.
Energy is stored in compressed hydrogen fuel, rather than in a battery.
Hydrogen mobility is a partnership journey between energy infrastructure providers, automotive OEMs and government funding bodies. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles will only be bought by customers if there is a refuelling infrastructure. Establishing and maintaining investment in fuelling infrastructure is only commercially attractive and sustainable if there are enough hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle customers and appropriate government and funding support to start installation of the infrastructure network.
About Shell Canada Limited:
Shell has been operating in Canada for over 100 years and employs more than 4,000 people across the country. Our business is providing energy to Canadians and people around the world, and we are one of the few truly integrated oil and gas companies in Canada. Learn more at www.shell.ca.
Follow us on Twitter: @Shell_Canada
About HTEC:
HTEC is unlocking the potential of hydrogen to reduce urban air pollution and the impacts of climate change by designing and building hydrogen fuel supply solutions to support the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Partnering with government, industrial gas companies, key equipment suppliers, automotive companies, and energy companies, HTEC is delivering safe, reliable, convenient, sustainable and low-cost hydrogen to customers and consumers, how, when and where they need it.

A Biographical Reading
Author: Bradley Buchanan
Published in: Hanif Kureishi
Hanif Kureishi was born in Bromley, a South London suburb, on 5 December 1954. He attended the University of London, where he studied Philosophy, and after leaving school rose from the rank of usher to become the writer in residence at the Royal Theatre. His early plays were produced by London's Theatre Upstairs, the Royal Court Theatre, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and he enjoyed international success with the 1985 screenplay My Beautiful Laundrette, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. In 1990, his novel, The Buddha of Suburbia, won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award for first novels. His fiction has since appeared regularly in prestigious periodicals such as the New Yorker, Granta, the London Review of Books and the Atlantic Monthly. Kureishi was married to Tracey Scoffield, his former editor at Faber & Faber, with whom he had twin boys (born in 1993) named Sachin and Carlo (he and Scoffield are now divorced). He began a relationship in 1995 with Monique Proudlove, and 1998 the couple had a son, named Kier.

The manual variant of the Alto K10 gets a cubbyhole and cupholders in front of the lever but in the AMT variant, this is missing as the lever takes more space. The car gets a smart hook next to the glovebox for hanging small things. The instrument cluster is a funky looking unit (Maruti calls it speedy finish) with a nice design having red markings and white fonts. There is a display under the speedometer which carries twin trip meters, odometer, gear indicator (AMT) fuel meter and time. The right side on the console has tell-tale lights and as they don't blink all the time, the meter looks a bit empty.
The Maruti Alto K10 is the premium version of the Alto but isn't loaded with a ton of features to boast about. Bluetooth is absent which comes as a surprise because the world's cheapest car, the Tata Nano has it. The audio system offers CD, USB and AUX functions and sound quality is strictly average. None of the Alto's seats come with adjustable headrests and due to the narrow cabin, it's best to seat two at the rear and not squeeze in three. The front seats are quite comfortable and although the Alto K10 carries the same wheelbase as the Alto 800, rear seat legroom is better thanks to the scooped front seat back, resulting in thinner front seats (one can at times feel the knees of the rear passenger on his back). Still legroom is just average while headroom is adequate. Boot space is decent for a car of this size.

I am obviously fairly new at this, but I've been at it all day and I just can't get started in the right direction, each snippet works on its own...please help!
Essentially I'm working with a DB with many tables, and to get the right data for each column, I often have to account for 3 tables with joins.
Thanks for any insight or help!
SELECT
  Product.ProductID,
  (
  SELECT Abbreviation AS Country
  FROM Product
  LEFT JOIN ProductCountry
    ON Product.ProductID = ProductCountry.ProductID
  LEFT JOIN Location
    ON ProductCountry.LocationID = Location.LocationID
  GROUP BY Product.ProductID
  ),

  (
  SELECT r.ResourceName AS Manufacturer, rr.ResourceName AS Brand
  FROM Product p
  LEFT JOIN Resource r
    ON p.ManufactureCode = r.ResourceID
  INNER JOIN Resource rr
    ON p.BrandCode = rr.ResourceID
  ),

  Product.Name,
  Product.UPC,
  Product.Size,

  (
  SELECT Unit.abbreviation AS Measure
  FROM Product
  LEFT JOIN Unit
    ON Product.Unit = Unit.UnitID
  ),

  (
  SELECT Category.ParentID AS Category, Category.Description AS Sub_Category
  FROM Product
  LEFT JOIN ProductCategory
    ON Product.ProductID = ProductCategory.ProductID
  LEFT JOIN Category
    ON ProductCategory.CategoryID = Category.CategoryID
  ),

  (
  SELECT i.Description AS INGREDIENTS, i.MayContain AS Allergen_Statement
  FROM Product
  LEFT JOIN Ingredient i
    ON Product.ProductID = i.IngredientID
  ),

  (
  SELECT GROUP_CONCAT( Special.Description SEPARATOR ', ' ) AS Free_From
  FROM Product
  LEFT JOIN ProductSpecial
    ON Product.ProductID = ProductSpecial.ProductID
  LEFT JOIN Special
    ON ProductSpecial.SpecialID = Special.SpecialID
  GROUP BY Product.ProductID
  )

FROM Product, ProductStatus
WHERE ProductStatus.ProductStatusID = 1

A: First, some notes and assumptions...

*

*I'm assuming the Country column is in the Location table, otherwise why would you bother joining it.

*If you have trouble with this part, change the second join to a LEFT JOIN. I've had occasional trouble doing left join a to b followed by inner join b to c. I've found it's easier to keep the LEFT JOIN going, so my example left-joins both tables:
  LEFT JOIN Resource r
    ON p.ManufactureCode = r.ResourceID
  INNER JOIN Resource rr
    ON p.BrandCode = rr.ResourceID

*You're joining to Resource in two different ways. That's completely OK with MySQL (and all the mainstream databases). You just have to alias one or both of the joins. I've aliased one of them:
LEFT JOIN Resource ON Product.ManufactureCode ...
LEFT JOIN Resource BrandResource ON Product.BrandCode...

*I don't know from your example how ProductStatus is joined. You'll have to supply that.

*Start small using the example below. Join in the Country, then when you've got that working, join in Manufacturer, then Brand, then Measure, etc. The query isn't doing a lot of advanced stuff; it's complicated mostly due to the sheer number of tables. Tackle them one at a time and you'll win :)

*Finally, as @Bohemian noted in the comments, the GROUP BY can't be brought up to the top. Actually, it probably can, but it will complicate things beyond belief. I've left that as a subquery.
Here's the final result. Note that it's not tested because it's huge and I don't have table structures or sample data. But mostly because it's huge :) At any rate, this is meant as an example only.
SELECT
  Product.ProductID,
  Location.Country,
  Resource.ResourceName AS Manufacturer,
  BrandResource.ResourceName AS Brand,
  Product.Name,
  Product.UPC,
  Product.Size,
  Unit.Abbreviation AS Measure,
  Category.ParentID AS Category,
  Category.Description AS Sub_Category,
  Ingredient.Description AS Ingredients,
  Ingredient.MayContain AS Allergen_Statement,
  (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT( Special.Description SEPARATOR ', ' ) AS Free_From
    FROM Product
    LEFT JOIN ProductSpecial
      ON Product.ProductID = ProductSpecial.ProductID
    LEFT JOIN Special
      ON ProductSpecial.SpecialID = Special.SpecialID
    GROUP BY Product.ProductID
    )
FROM Product
  INNER JOIN ProductStatus ON ... however it's joined
  LEFT JOIN ProductCountry ON Product.ProductID = ProductCountry.ProductID
  LEFT JOIN Location ON ProductCountry.LocationID = Location.LocationID
  LEFT JOIN Resource ON Product.ManufactureCode = Resource.ResourceID
  LEFT JOIN Resource BrandResource ON Product.BrandCode = BrandResource.ResourceID
  LEFT JOIN Unit ON Product.Unit = Unit.UnitID
  LEFT JOIN ProductCategory ON Product.ProductID = ProductCategory.ProductID

Love is in the air: The Arches celebrates as couple renew wedding vows
It has been a very special few weeks at The Arches Care Home in Belfast, where residents Bernie and Anthony this week renewed their wedding vows after ten years of marriage.
Having previously lived together in supported housing, Bernie and Anthony moved into The Arches two and a half years ago, and it was a long-held wish for them both to renew their vows on their ten year anniversary.
When colleagues at the home learned of this, they decided to raise the funds to give the couple a day they would never forget, and set about organising a huge prize raffle, to which local businesses and friends of the home donated generously.
With funds in place there was then a lot to organise! A wedding dress and suit were purchased and the flowers, room decoration, photographer, food and disco all booked. The Balmoral Hotel, where Bernie and Anthony had spent their original wedding night, very kindly donated the honeymoon suite (along with a carers room) for a night and a local limousine firm gave them a complimentary limo ride.
As the big day approached, stag and hen parties were organised in the home, with everyone joining in to wish the couple well.
The ceremony was attended by every resident at The Arches, and was extremely moving for everyone present.
Home Manager Judy Brown said:
"I am so proud of my team for the immense lengths to which they have gone to make this occasion so special for Bernie and Anto.
"Not only have they raised all the monies themselves, they then made sure all our residents were included in the build-up to the ceremony, and worked hard to ensure everyone could be there on the day, which meant a lot to us all.
"We would also like to thank the local suppliers who have been so supportive and kind - in particular the Balmoral Hotel and local limousine company David Crymble - whose donations were the icing on the cake.
"It was a wonderful day for everyone connected with The Arches. Our congratulations go to Bernie and Anthony and we wish them many more happy years together."

Let's be honest. It's intimidating to step up from a point-and-shoot smartphone or digicam to an interchangeable lens camera (ILC) system. Not only do you have to pick lenses, but ILC's are inherently more capable, which also means they're more complex.
Traditionally, even entry-level cameras have suffered dense menu systems where you must scroll through endless submenus in hopes of finding the exact settings you need, which is made that much harder because newbie shutterbugs don't always know exactly what settings they need to get that perfect shot.
Enter Olympus, who has upgraded its most affordable and compact OM-D series ILC for 2017. The new OM-D E-M10 Mark III isn't a tremendous technological leap over the Mark II iteration -- it features the same 16MP image sensor, rear displays, and 5-axis in-body image stabilization -- but Olympus' engineers were more concerned with user feedback than benchmarks. They listened to their customers and read all the reviews and set out to make the Mark III more ergonomic and easier to use than any OM-D camera ever made... And, yes, they even managed to cram in a few new bells and whistles we can't wait to try out, so don't worry, it's not the exact same camera.
AUTO Mode is exactly what it sounds like -- the camera's going to do all the work, but as mentioned below, this mode as been revamped to improve lowlight performance, reducing blur from moving subjects and/or camera shake.
Scene (SCN) Mode allows you to choose from SIX different shooting scenarios -- People, Nightscape, Motion, Scenery, Indoors, & Close-Ups -- and will then guide you through various sub-settings to optimize the camera for your environment and subject matter.
Advanced Photo Mode is about taking formally complex photographic techniques and, you guessed it, making the whole process easier. Here you'll have access to Live Composite Mode (for capturing long nighttime exposures) and Multiple Exposure (for combing still imagines), OR you can choose to engage Silent Mode, Keystone Compensation, Focus Bracketing, Live Time, Panorama, HDR, and AE Bracketing, all while the GUI helps you learn what these features do.
Oh, and if you don't need the assistance and are just looking for a stylish, compact ILC, then don't worry. The Mark III also sports Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and full Manual controls for more advanced photographers or for those growing out of the automatic modes.
As mentioned above, the E-M10iii features the same 16MP 4/3" Live MOS Image Sensor as the Mark II, which I think is actually a smart move (the more pixels you add, the more susceptible to noise you are). Plus, Olympus did add in the newer TruePic VIII image processor from the OM-D E-M1 Mark II flagship ILC, which boosts continuous shooting to 8.6fps and allows for AUTO Mode's ISO range to increase to 100 - 6400 (manual ISO is 100 - 25,600). Meaning, the Mark III has been designed to quickly detect subject as well as camera movement and raise ISO to reduce blur in lower lighting conditions.
My favorite feature when using Olympus cameras. Their in-body 5-axis image stabilization is incredible when shooting handheld video and/or lowlight stills. Like the Mark II, the E-M10iii retains its 5-axis image stabilization (which is equal to 4 steps of exposure) for stills, but video recording image stabilization is 5-axis PLUS Movie IS (this is up from 3-axis in the Mark II). There are a few companies who also do image stabilization really well, but Olympus might be the best of the best, which makes this entry-level ILC an absolute bargain.
While not the same phase detection from the E-M1 Mark II, the new E-M10 Mark III does include a similar 121 AF point system that covers most of the image area with features like Face Priority, Eye Priority, and C-AF for tracking moving subjects (at up to 8.6fps as mentioned before). You can also select your focal point by using the camera's rear display (more on this below).
The Mark III is 2mm wider, 0.5mm taller, and 3mm deeper than the outgoing Mark II, much of this due to a revised, curving front grip that makes the new model easier to hold. The mode dials are also larger for making adjustments on the fly. Speaking of which, the arrow pad buttons on the rear of the camera now include access to ISO, flash, drive, and focus settings... And, during playback, you can use the up or down keys to scroll through images 10 at a time (versus oned at a time using the left or right buttons). There is also a built-in flash and two customizable Fn buttons, which can be assigned any one of 11 different functions.
Lastly, a new Shortcut Button on the left-hand side of the camera instantly displays the most-relevant settings menu, which saves you the time of navigating through the Super Control Panel (hit the OK button in any mode).
While the OM-D E-M10 Mark III features the same 3.0" tilting touchscreen display (1040K dots) and OLED EVF, the touchscreen display allows you to adjust the following settings -- Shutter release, AF area selection, AF area size adjustment, AF touch pad, frame forward/backward, magnified playback, Live Guide, Super Control Panel, Art Filter, Scene, Wi-Fi connection, video controls, video effects, and video teleconvertertimer.
Olympus offers support for Ultra HD video (3840 x 2160) @ up to 30p / 102 Mbps or Full HD video (1920 x 1080) @ up to 60p. In most of these resolutions / frame rates, you can add effects like One-shot Echo, Multi-echo, Art Fade, and Old Film OR any of the previously mentioned Art Filters (although frame rates may vary with certain Filters). You can also shoot in-camera time-lapses in 4K (5fps), Full HD (up to 15fps), or 720p HD (up to 30fps).
When using the same BLS-50 battery as the Mark II, the new OM-D E-M10 Mark III is capable of shooting up to 330 shots per charge, which isn't great compared to bulkier DSLRs, but is pretty good for a compact ILC where you'll be using the rear LCD a lot of the time.
Using built-in Wi-Fi, you can connect the Mark III to any iOS or Android smart device running the Olympus Image Share (OI.Share) app where you can use your phone or tablet as remote trigger for shooting group photos and/or for adding GPS information to photos OR to send files to your phone for sharing online.
The new Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III will be available, in a black and silver OR black-only, late next month with a $699.99 MSRP for the body-only OR for $799.99 for the kit that includes a M.Zuiko 14-42mm EZ Lens. Important to note here is that this lens isn't your standard cheapo kit lens -- it retails for $350 when not bundled -- so definitely check out the kit if you're considering a Mark III to be your first ILC or first OM-D camera system.

House committee strips, replaces Senate social services bill language
Dr. Tracey Wilkinson testifies on Senate Bill 2 before the House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday (Whitney Downard/ Indiana Capital Chronicle)
The Senate social services bill, designed to accommodate an increased demand in family services following a proposed abortion ban, duplicates the House version after Tuesday's committee meeting.
The House Ways and Means Committee removed the language of Senate Bill 2 and replaced it with House Bill 1001, which already passed the committee and House Chamber last week.
The bill, which includes the Senate's $10,000 tax credit for adoptions, passed the committee unanimously and will be voted on by the full House later this week.
Senate leadership previously indicated their disapproval for House Bill 1001, which distributes $1 billion of the state's $6.1 billion in surplus accounts to individual Hoosiers via $225 checks.
Senate Bill 3, the senate's counterproposal for the $225 inflation relief, hasn't been scheduled for a hearing on the House side. Read about the bill, as it was introduced, here.
The bill also provides $58.5 million for social services and repeals the state's diaper tax.
"I don't have any idea what we're doing because we're passing something we already passed that the Senate doesn't like," Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, said before voting yes.
SB 2 author Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle, left the committee room as members introduced the amendment and didn't return for closing testimony to share his thoughts on the changes.
Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle (Monroe Bush for Indiana Capital Chronicle)
The previous version of the bill created a $45 million fund for agencies to use to support maternal health programs and family services.
Shannon Schumacher, the CEO of The Villages, which provides foster support, said the state would need to provide more funding if abortion access is curtailed.
"We don't know a lot about the new parents we're going to see," Schumacher said. "We don't really know what's going to happen once this legislation goes through."
Childcare costs for an additional 1,000 babies would cost agencies like hers at least $18 million while 300 more children in the foster care system would cost at least $14 million, according to Schumacher.
"We'll need more funding," she said.
Amendments to the bill fail
Ways and Means Chair Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville, rejected several Democrat amendments to the Senate social services bill, saying they created new funds that he didn't want to establish outside of the budget writing process. The original bill, before Brown amended it, created the Hoosier Families First Fund.
One amendment, from Rep. Carey Hamiliton, D-Indianapolis, would have dedicated $3.5 million in funding for domestic violence services, which have seen an uptick in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This is a critical need for women who need help getting out of that cycle of violence," Hamilton said.
All of the committee's Republicans — save for Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany — voted against the amendment, defeating the measure.
Brown also rejected Clere's proposal to provide funding for the state's First Steps program to alleviate the burden on impoverished families, saying the committee would examine the program in the coming budget session.
Brown announced his retirement earlier this year and House Speaker Todd Huston hasn't named Brown's successor for chair of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. There are no guarantees any of the amendments will be revisited.
Angela Espada, the executive director of the Indiana Catholic Conference, urged legislators to do more to promote healthy babies, such as incentivizing businesses to have pregnancy accommodations and family leave.
"We know that probably people with means will go outside of the state to seek abortions," Espada said. "But there are still going to be a lot more babies who are going to need help."
