Neal Thomas
Manager, HorseBuff
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone.
Roobykon did high-quality work for a fraction of their competitors' prices. Their code is well-developed and the foundation for a successful e-commerce platform. The entire team was experienced and consistently met deadlines.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the manager at HorseBuff, an equestrian marketplace for people who want to buy and sell equestrian gear online.
What challenge were you trying to address with Roobykon Software?
We needed a partner to code, debug, deploy, and define specifications for a multilingual marketplace that was desktop and mobile friendly.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Roobykon provided business analysis, programming, and quality assurance services. They suggested what software to use for the marketplace and performed all the necessary customizations. We used a series of different frameworks whose backends we heavily modified and modeled after open source ones.
Roobykon assisted with setting up and building out the infrastructure, including multiple environments. Most of their work was in Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and Linux CentOS. They also consulted on our CRM system and online magazine.
What is the team composition?
They provided a project manager, UX/UI designer, frontend and backend developers, DevOps engineer, and QA engineer.
My main point of contact was the project manager, although I sometimes talked to the CIO and CEO.
How did you come to work with Roobykon Software?
We initially found them on Upwork. They did some work for us a while ago and had the right skills for this project.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent over $20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project lasted from August 2017–January 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We haven't fully launched yet, but Roobykon has done more work for a third of the price others were charging. Their extensive experience with marketplaces has saved us lots of time and money.
Our tech people have reviewed their code and say it's great. This project has become the next stage of our business—it's helped make our processes better-defined and allowed us to reach a wider audience.
How did Roobykon Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management is good. They fulfilled requirements in a timely manner and had regular deployments onto the staging server.
We ran an agile process with necessary design and testing stages. We did small iterations to keep things moving, and they worked hard to deliver on schedule.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They brought my ideas to life and saved us from a lot of mistakes we would've made by ourselves. Throughout the entire process, they were kind and patient, even when we changed the project scope.
We were expecting outsourcing to be a difficult process, but Roobykon was incredibly easy to work with. They were fair and honest in billing, charging us less than others with less experience. We were very impressed with their work.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, they were exactly what I was looking for. They were experienced, within our budget, and fine with iterative development.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Speak with them and see if they're a good fit. They're honest, sincere, and knowledgeable, so I definitely recommend them.
Overall Score They put in the time and effort to build a great project, not just make money.
They consistently delivered on schedule.
I was pleasantly surprised with their cost and service level. I don't know why we didn't hire them sooner.
Every team member was professional.
I've already referred them a couple of times and will continue to do so.
Platform Development for Social Influencer Marketplace
"We're impressed with their determination to solve complex problems."
June 2017 - Ongoing
Roobykon assisted with frontend and backend development, data migration, and merchant services integration. Their team continues to improve functionality.
CEO, Digital Marketing Platform
The platform is gaining a significant following in a niche market, which is attributed to Roobykon's understanding of business goals. Their tenacity and expertise have led to a long-term collaboration.
I'm the CEO of a digital marketing platform that connects brands and social media influencers.
We hired Roobykon to build a custom marketplace solution to replace our old technology, which was built with .NET.
We wanted to reduce UX errors, improve stability, and streamline workflow management. We also wanted to shift to an open source solution.
We posted an advertisement and chose Roobykon because we were pleased with their reviews and ratings.
Describe the project in detail.
Roobykon is helping us overhaul our website by providing expert knowledge on specific areas. Initially, they designed the frontend and backend of our web application and helped import existing data to our new platform. Roobykon also provided assistance in setting up merchant services. Currently, we are in the process of adding more features and developing new ideas on the platform.
What outcomes or results can you share that demonstrate progress and/or success?
Roobykon clearly understands the vision and scope of our project. Since we have few competitors, our platform has helped us gain traction fairly quickly in our niche. We continue to grow and acquire new users every day.
How effective was the project management?
Roobykon's team is highly organized and professional. They have a project manager who communicates regularly and makes sure we are on track.
We found their determination to solve complex problems very impressive. We've rarely heard them say "no," which is a relief. Instead, they do intensive research on our industry, allowing them to give feedback and suggest possible strategies. They are proactive about finding solutions.
What tips or recommendations do you have?
They could improve their pricing estimates, but you can be sure of receiving quality output.

Marketing and Billing Automation for Digital Marketing Firm
"Roobykon Software stood out from the crowd by providing excellent services for affordable prices."
The long-standing partnership has addressed all aspects of the client's workflows, automating processes and creating other efficiencies wherever feasible.
Salvador Klein
CEO, Global Rev Gen
Roobykon have proven themselves detail-oriented and effective leaders of business process reorganization. The burden caused by time zone differences has been ameliorated by the familiarity of one another's working style.
Global Rev Gen is a digital consultancy and media agency. Global Rev Gen works with brands and other agencies all over the world to implement digital media campaigns in new and innovative ways.
Our consulting services include strategic advice around delivering business, brand, marketing, and media outcomes. We consult to startups and corporates directly as well as their agencies. Our media services include media strategy, campaign planning, media planning and buying, campaign management and assessment, tracking and analytics, reporting, and re-investment planning and optimization. We work across every digital channel and sometimes some offline ones, too.
I am the founder and CEO of Global Rev Gen.
The challenge which we addressed by building a Cognition platform was to streamline our company operations, starting from prospects management to automation of the client billing. The system had to be equally accessible around the globe to allow all Global Rev Gen employees around the world interoperate quickly and efficiently. Also, Cognition had to be able to provide extensive integration capabilities with various third party services such as HasOffers, Xero, RedBooth, and many others.
Aside from the Cognition efforts, Roobykon Software implemented numerous smaller projects for both my needs and my partners'.
From the beginning, it was an ongoing project developed on a continuous flow of new requirements. New subsystems were created and refactored as required by evolving business needs. The scope for many of the subsystems included the basic user interface/user experience work, design efforts, further HTML/CSS markup, front and backend development, quality assurance, deployment, and support of the project. Roobykon Software's representatives communicated with our managers and operators to address the new requirements better. The project is constantly evolving according to Global Rev Gen's ever changing workflow, to allow the managers and operators do their work in the most efficient way.
We have tried many companies and individual developers before them, both remote and onsite. Roobykon Software stood out from the crowd by providing excellent services for affordable prices. They delivered great attention and care to each issue, no matter how big or small it was.
How much have you invested with Roobykon Software?
The investment into the development is over $300,000 to date.
The project has been developed for over six years and is ongoing.
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
The project has become a backbone of the Global Rev Gen company workflow and is being used for all employees and their everyday activities.
What did you find most impressive about Roobykon Software?
What has impressed me the most is their attention to details and their desire to provide the best possible results for any requirements.
Are there any areas Roobykon Software could improve?
The major drawback is the time difference between Australia and Ukraine, but after so many years of cooperation, we managed to mitigate this and build a successful working relationship.
Overall Score I am pretty much satisfied with our work together. That is why we have partnered with these guys for over six years now.
The deadlines on the projects with clearly defined requirements were met, albeit with some scope creep, which while frustrating as a client, should be a shared responsibility with the developer.
The work they've done was under the "time and material" scheme, so when the requirements were defined, the original estimate was followed pretty closely.
The development efforts were done according to the requirements and with the most appropriate approach taking into account the situation of the project.
I have recommended them many times for both my partners and customers.
Feature Driven Development for A2P Texting Platform
"We had a good experience in the way Roobykon supported the platform when various challenges arose."
Roobykon was the primary developer of an application to person SMS messaging system.
Co-founder, Burst SMS
Roobykon continually enhanced the platform as it doubled in size and revenue. Their resources worked hours typical for their home office but generally met the client's expectations.
We run an A2P [application to person] business transmission platform, probably most similar to Twilio. We're a 10-man organization, and I'm the co-founder and managing director.
Roobykon Software was asked to provide platform optimization and ongoing development work.
They were custodians of the platform for a couple of years. It was originally built with a LAMP stack, and they worked within it for the backbone. They worked with us from 2011 to early 2015 and were our sole developers for that period.
They were primarily feature and optimization driven in their efforts. We would request that Roobykon Software put together features that were added to the platform. They would wholly develop the solution; then we would test it before taking it live. We primarily worked with two of their developers.
I received a referral from a contact of mine who had been working with them on some other projects. We made contact and decided to give them a go.
It was market rate, but the exact amount is confidential.
Our relationship concluded in 2015.
Roobykon kept our platform up and running for our customers. We grew the business by 100%, in both volume and revenue, over the course of the time they were working with us. Our platform experienced successful growth on a number of metrics. We had a very high degree of platform uptime. We had a good experience in the way Roobykon supported the platform when various challenges arose.
Although we had a contract relationship, they acted essentially as employees that we managed. We utilized digital channels for our briefings, such as Skype and email.
They were good developers, and they performed well in everything we required.
It would have been nice if they had guided us toward some newer technologies sooner. However, I do think we were a little resistant to it ourselves, so that wasn't necessarily their fault.
The time zone difference was a challenge for us; however, they were always available in their time zone.
Client Portal and Salesforce Development for Financial Advisory Service
"They took what we gave them and they delivered a very good result quickly."
Aug. 2014 - Ongoing
Roobykon developed a financial planning web portal and connected it to a Salesforce-based backend management system, which they continue to support.
Vince Scully
Co-founder, LifeSherpa
Detailed documentation and strong communication contributed to a successful implementation and these factors continue to mitigate concerns inherent to outsourcing arrangements.
LifeSherpa is an online financial advice business that is focused on the needs of younger people with little or no money to invest. We focus on things like paying off debts, budgeting, cash flow management, buying a first home, insurance, retirement savings—the things that the so-called robo-advisors don't deal with. If you want a US equivalent, sum180.com or hellowallet.com are probably the closest to put things in perspective. We call it a hybrid platform. The front-end of the website, mostly the repetitive stuff, is all automated until the client is in the position ready to do something. There is a real advisor in the background ready to talk to the client at the right time. Online coaching supported by a real person for implementation is the best way of describing it. I'm one of the 2 founders of the company. I'm in charge of the financial aspect while my business partner Salvador oversees the digital marketing aspect of the company.
The website was really about engaging with an audience that wasn't engaged. We needed a CMS with a web-based component for our clients to interact with. The look and feel are almost as important as the technical specs that we spent almost a year getting together. Our internal business systems are all Salesforce-based. The user enters all his details on the web and then we extract that information. Salesforce then manages all the workflows for inbound calls, inbound emails, assignments, escalations, and service time management. The web is really the public window out there, but the client never sees Salesforce. We were looking for resources to help us put it all together.
We launched with a freemium model, like LinkedIn, back in February 2015. Throughout 2015, we got feedback from members that the site was actually a bit confusing. We transitioned to a free-trial model, like Netflix, in late 2015 and relaunched in February 2016. That was a fairly significant relaunch after we changed the first few screens and some messaging on how we upgrade someone from a free trial to a paid service. We didn't have to change much of the underlying technology. Also, we were giving away one of our tools for Psychological Traits Metrics for free. These are normally part of the paid services, but Roobykon helped us build everything that was going to make most of the processes work without paying for the service. We delivered heavily spec'd out workflows and screen labs and they did the rest.
My business partner had used Roobykon to develop the internal platform for his business, so that's what led us to them. Comparing working with either an Australian or offshore team, we came to the offshore conclusion relatively quickly. Then it was a matter of trying to find who we could deal with comfortably. It was a tradeoff between price and overhead, but there also were tax benefits to doing it off-shore. We spent a lot of time working through technology implementation options and we landed on Roobykon as a solution. We started with a .NET vs. PHP vs. Ruby argument, but we ended up using Ruby. That helped Roobykon make it to the shortlist.
We've spent between $150,000 and $250,000 over the course of multiple years. Most of that was between August 2014 and February 2015. We later did a rebuild and reoriented the front-end of the website in October of 2015. We had done a lot of work previously, probably in a slightly more traditional approach.
From a business perspective, we've been acquiring members primarily from Facebook. Salvador, my business partner, is currently handling all the digital marketing campaigns, and he has been able to engage an audience that traditionally wouldn't be engaged. Also, the website itself has been received so well, we have even received some awards here in Australia.
My business partner had experience from building his platform for his business, so he attended most of the meetings. I would talk to him first and then he would meet with Konstantin Dynda [Co-founder]. He then shared the call logs or conversation transcripts with me afterward. Konstantin speaks perfect English and we've been able to improve the results by having those transcripts. So, if you're worried about dealing with someone offshore in a different time zone and that speaks another language, that's how we dealt with it. Everything looked good and was delivered on time. It was a positive experience overall.
They took what we gave them and they delivered a very good result quickly. They are very responsive. We rely more on writing rather than verbal discussions.
They could've done a better job on the backend piece. That could be partly a reflection of us not spec'ing out that part of the system enough. This part allows us to see what the user puts on the website, compared to what we see in Salesforce. We must double-check the information, which can be a bit difficult. We haven't invested the time and effort in upgrading that, it's a low priority for now.
Overall Score Overall, it was a very positive experience. It all worked because of the relationship built between the teams.

Algernon Sydney Sullivan Fountain
This text is part of Parks' Historical Signs Project and can be found posted within the park.
This ornamental horse trough and drinking fountain honors jurist Algernon Sydney Sullivan (1826–1887). It is adjacent to the Van Cortlandt Park Golf House and Lake, and was dedicated in 1906.
Sullivan was raised in the southern Indiana River town of Madison. He attended Hanover College in Indiana and Miami University in Ohio. He returned to Madison to study law, and was admitted to the bar in 1849. Sullivan moved up river to Cincinnati, and established a law firm. He married in 1851, but his wife died that year. He subsequently married Mary Mildred Hammond, though the early years of their marriage were racked by financial strife, as Sullivan contended with large debts incurred during the economic turmoil of the Panic of 1856.
By the outbreak of the Civil War, Sullivan had moved to New York, and established a law office on William Street, near Wall Street. Though opposed to slavery and the southern cause, he defended in court the crew of the Savannah, a captured Confederate privateer. Arguing that they be accorded proper treatment as prisoners of war, Sullivan was vilified, and then imprisoned by the Federal government. Strenuous objections from prominent members of the bar and the bench won his release after six weeks, and Sullivan successfully negotiated the exchange of the Savannah's crew.
A member of the reform wing of the Democratic Party, Sullivan helped lead the fight against the corrupt Tweed Ring, who notoriously controlled municipal government and patronage during the 1860s and early 1870s. He was made an assistant district attorney in 1870, and served with distinction for three years. In 1875 Sullivan became public administrator of New York, a position he held for ten years, which was responsible for the administration of estates. His public service during this era caused supporters to urge him to run for mayor, but he declined.
In 1873 Sullivan organized the firm of Sullivan, Kobbe & Fowler, an immediate success, in large part due to Sullivan's legal reputation and his connections to industrial leaders. In 1879, he and one of the firm's partners, William Nelson Cromwell (1854–1948), reorganized the firm under a new name, Sullivan & Cromwell. Though the business prospered, Sullivan dedicated much of his effort to providing free legal services to the poor, and did not himself amass great personal wealth. He continued an active public life while serving as senior partner until his death on December 4, 1887. With more than 350 attorneys, Sullivan and Cromwell is one of the most prestigious laws firms in the financial district and in the United States today.
The American Bar Association said of Sullivan that the law "was his life work and his life love as well . . . adversary and client alike felt the power of his lucid, conscientious, wise advice . . . it is fair to say that no lawyer, however great his fame, was regarded by the bench with greater confidence and esteem." An Algernon Sydney Sullivan Memorial Committee formed and raised funds of $6,000 to commission a commemorative fountain. Frank Wallis, designer of the 1937 bathing pavilions at Riis Park, was the fountain's architect.
The monument consists of a ten-foot high granite stele with ornamental pediments, basins on either side, as well as circular bronze relief portraits of Sullivan. These medallions were created by Jonathan Scott Hartley (1845–1912) who also crafted the statue of Swedish-American inventor John Ericsson, which stands at the north end of Battery Park, and the sculpture of Alfred the Great on the New York State Appellate Building, opposite Madison Square Park.
Prior to a restoration from 2001-2003, the monument had been repaired on several occasions. In 1934 missing bronze letters from the dedicatory inscription were recast. In 1949, all the remaining letters were removed, and the inscriptions were etched into the stone. Later the fountain ceased to function for decades, and the basins were filled with concrete. In 2001 and 2002, with support from Sullivan & Cromwell, Parks' Citywide Monuments Conservation Program conserved and regilded the reliefs, rebuilt the fountain, cleaned and repointed all the masonry and decoration. This work was done in conjunction with a City-funded capital renovation of the lake and the adjacent landscape, completed in 2003.

Baltimore Canyon Open Space - Wag!
At 193 acres, the Baltimore Canyon Preserve is part of a sprawling expanse of public lands linked by a network of dog-friendly trails. Baltimore Canyon is the northernmost of four connected open spaces, with Kings Mountain Preserve, Blithedale Summit Preserve, and Camino Alto Preserve all accessible by foot and paw. Dogs are allowed on-leash on all trails, and can even explore under voice control on fire roads.
The rich forest canopy here once contained the region's tallest redwoods, but those fell victim to urban expansion and have been replaced by a mix of bays, Douglas firs, madrones, and new-growth redwoods that will someday tower over this landscape again. A shady and scenic environment for a hike, Baltimore Canyon also features the seasonal 30-foot cascade of Dawn Falls, a great backdrop for some furrific dog pics.
The hike to Dawn Falls is a moderate 2.2-mile out-and-back hike from the trailhead at the end of Marone Ave, where a few roadside parking spots are available. Take the trail across a bridge over the creek before turning right onto Dawn Falls Trail. Follow the creek as the trail narrows and winds into the woods, through a junction with the Ladybug Trail, across the stream on another bridge, and into the heart of the canyon. A series of switchbacks climb the hill to the waterfall.
For a longer hike and more diverse scenery, make it a loop. As it reaches the northwest corner of the preserve, Dawn Falls Trail crosses the wide, leash-optional Southern Marin Line Fire Road and then the small, lovely Hoo-Koo E-Koo Trail (where higher elevation means fantastic views of the Bay). The Southern Marin Line circles back to Madrone via the steep, narrow Barbara Springs Trail. Or, begin and end your route from Sunrise Lane farther south and return via Hoo-Koo E-Koo to the Blithedale Fire Road to the Huckleberry Trail for a loop just under 5 miles.
Additional roadside parking is available at the ends of Wilson Way on the park's eastern edge and Crown Road on the northwest, and any number of different hikes are possible on this well-connected trail system. Grab a trail map from the Marin Co. website and plan the pawfect route for your pack.
From February through July, nesting wildlife require the night-time closure of certain trails. If you're using the space at night, please observe and obey signage about trail closures, for your own pup's protection as well as the health of the park's full-time furry residents. Throughout the year, coyote sightings are fairly common, so keep your pups on-trail and under your control. No restrooms or drinking water are available.

Does the thought of doing a Facebook Live or showing your face on Instagram make you feel sweaty and breathless? I get it!
As an introvert myself, the thought of showing my face on social media made me very uncomfortable in the beginning. In fact, I would point my camera phone to whatever I was doing, and talk about it without my face in the picture at all.
But when you're the face of your business, you have to get comfortable with showing your face. Over the years, I've gotten a little bit better about being on camera and even going live on Facebook and Instagram. Here are a few things I shifted in order to get cozy with showing up as myself.
As a content creator and educator, I can always fall back on the content I'm sharing. I blog once a week, so I have something to share. But then if I want to take it a step further, I can shoot a short video about the content and post that to Youtube. I can then take that same content and make a commitment to going live once a week talking about the same content. I found that if I'm just being spontaneous and jumping on social media without a plan, it was so much harder.
It's a whole lot easier to take the focus off of you and onto the people you're serving. You're showing up for them. You're adding value to their life and business. You know you can help them, educate them, serve them. AND they need/want what you're sharing with them. Imagine if you didn't show up at all… who would be missing out on your style of communication? All of us!
Whether you're going live, sending out a newsletter, blogging, recording video for Youtube, or marketing your business any other way, make sure to stay consistent. I know it can seem a little lonely when no one responds to your newsletter, or even shows up on a LIVE. It's ok my friends. Don't let that stop you.
Are you committing to showing up in a bigger way for your business this year? Are you going to let being an introvert stop you? Let me know what your biggest challenge is with marketing your business as an introvert.

More than bread and bargains
Balboa Union Church Thanksgiving Sermon by Phil Edmonston
I am not a big fan of Thanksgiving. I prefer to thank the Lord through my prayers, not by eating some poor bird that has one chance in 20 million of being 'pardoned' from the axe by President Trump. Nor will I beat the bushes for bargains at the mall, or herd into my home the same relatives whom I purposely avoided most of the year.
Faith, action, and spirituality
Yet, I still celebrate Thanksgiving. But I treat the event in the way that Christ teaches us: through my Faith, Actions, and innate Spiritually. This is all laid out in Luke 10:38-42 when Jesus and his disciples 'dropped in' to see Martha and Mary:
At the home of Martha and Mary
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.
40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,
42 but few things are needed — or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Mary's faith, actions, and spirit transformed Jesus's visit into an intimate, moment of love and sharing. During Thanksgiving we affirm our faith in Christian values, if only for a day, and ignore the bloody history surrounding our forefathers' treatment of native people.
Sadly, our better nature doesn't always prevail at Thanksgiving. Try this challenge to test the Bible's admonition to — "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." When driving down the Cinta Costera during rush hour. See if you can give five motorists the right of way without getting beeped off the road.
Thanksgiving facts and fables
Ah, and then there's the "fake news" we are asked to gobble at Thanksgiving. Historians know the first Thanksgiving never took place at Plymouth Rock in 1621 with local native tribes joining in to celebrate a bountiful harvest produced by hard-working Pilgrims. The truth is that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated by an English pirate/explorer named Martin Frobisher while holed up in Canada's frozen north (near Baffin Island in the Northwest Territory) in 1578. Others point out that celebratory harvest feasts were common thousands of years earlier. In 1957, Canada proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday the second Monday of October each year, while Americans recognized the holiday in 1863 as a stratagem to unite the country during the Civil War (the fourth Thursday of November).
The colonists weren't in a celebratory mood in 1621 due to the poor harvest wherein many starved and others survived mostly by robbing native graves for the corn they contained. The colonial character was also marked by indolence and theft that Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford decried in his diaries published in England. He wrote: "The crops were small because "much was stolen both by night and day, before it became scarce eatable." He added, the colony was riddled with "corruption," and with "confusion and discontent."
Colonists starved for years because they wouldn't work in the field. Another factor was that the Pilgrims were practically all indentured servants who had to export to England most of what they produced to pay down their contracts. It wasn't until a few years later, after England had given up some of the fur trade that the colony became self-sufficient.
Celebrate through good works
Celebrate quietly at home, with a good book, the Bible will do, or pass the day with a few friends and family members whose company you still enjoy. If you do go out, visit the sick, volunteer at the food bank, sing in the church choir, or take a homeless person to Niko's.
Don't under-estimate the value of doing these things as a way to thank the Lord and crystallize Christian virtues, while forever changing people's lives.
I know. It changed my life completely
Growing up as a street urchin running the streets in Washington DC, where my mom depended upon the local food bank and a small monthly welfare check after my dad's lingering death from cancer left us penniless. Thanks, to my small paper route and the kindness of my African-American subscribers, I always had a turkey meal spent with a family somewhere along my paper route.
And have you ever spent the holidays in a hospital, or even a weekend? Not hell — purgatory. Yes, purgatory, in the sense that you are alone, with no place to go, and not knowing when you will be released.
Hospital staff, doctors, and technicians may be out of town — in December, celebrating Christ's birth with Santa Claus under a dead tree decorated with lights and a mistletoe hanging in the hallway authorizing a drive-by kiss attack, or in April, mixing in a blender the story of Jesus's Resurrection along with chocolates, soft bunny rabbits and hard-boiled eggs.

The book is about the many principals that can help to create the inbound generation system. Here is the summary of the book which can help you to understand major principles defined in the book.
Firstly let's take an insight look of the book. Here are some things that book offer.
The idea about to explore your thoughts, get out from the mental burden, set new visions and ambitions.

The book will help you to apply principals of psychology in your daily routine. It helps you to have the accessibility of the principle by making them easy to apply.
Helps to increase the enthusiasm level between the associates.
Now let's take a look at the summary of the book. This is the first part of the book and focuses on the various techniques to handle the people. It has total three chapters.
As the book content, criticism is ineffective and it can make the person defensive and let him justify in every situation.
Criticism can be dangerous as it can hurt a person by wounding his pride.
Instead of complaining about the people better to understand why they want to do and why they want to do this.
So many great leaders do the same one of them was the Abraham Lincoln. He always focused on the point not to criticize anyone.
Chapter 2 of book stressed on that there is only one way to make any person do something. This can describe as letting them do whatever they want to do.
Encouragement and appreciation is the key to productivity.
Always be positive and appreciate good work avoid to discover the unnecessary faults.
Don't tell people they are doing well. Better to define what they are doing well. It is always good to discuss things and let the people know that you keep an eye on their upright work.
Chapter 3 focuses on that you should think about the people first. Give weight to their thoughts. Convince the people how a particular task can benefit them. The first and foremost motive is you should understand the perspective of other people.
Chapter 1 represents that if you are genuine with the people you can make friends in just two months. People try to become the good friend even after two years gap. However, if you are good with the people you do not have to wait so long. Usually, people are interested in other when they are actually interested in them. It is a two-way process.
Always say hello to the people in a way that, they should know you are pleased to talk with them. Chapter 2 focuses on the actions, It's a saying action speaks louder than words. Always spread positivity to the people around you. It is just not you can keep the things up by your physical presence. Even your positivity can be seen through the phone conversation. You need to have a good time with the people if you want to have a good time with them. If you are not happy just pretend to be happy. In some time it will definitely make you happy. Action and feeling always go together. You can act cheerfully and by default, your actions also reflect the feelings.
In chapter 3 of the book states, it is always important to remember the name of the people. In case you do not remember the name people are not going to build the strong relationship with you. Next chapter defines the benefits of becoming a good conversationalist.
Part 3 is all about to avoid the arguments. Most of the people do this mistake and hurt so many people. You should not indulge in the arguments. A misunderstanding cannot be rectified with the argument. Better to avoid them to keep the relationship healthy. You always need to control your temper. Always listen first and give chance to the people to explain their points.
This part of the book is focused on how to become a good leader. Many people follow the criticism. They use to start the sentence with letter but and end up stating a criticizing statement. Here you need to consider your own mistake first before blaming another person for the mistakes. No one likes to take orders from other. Just always talk in a way to explain your viewpoint not to give the order to someone.


The first time he met his grandfather, Nkosi 'Chief' Zwelivelile Mandela was nine years old. He had heard his own name – 'Viva Mandela! Viva!' – chanted in the dusty streets of Soweto, South Africa, and asked his father, Makgatho, what it meant. Without explanation, Makgatho arranged for Chief to travel 870 miles to Pollsmoor Prison, near Cape Town, escorted by his step-grandmother Winnie.
As he waited in a visitors' room, unaware of the history he was steeped in, Chief heard a voice: 'How are you warden?' It was Nelson Mandela: a 'giant' 6ft 5 figure who slipped into the room and greeted an excited Winnie, before turning to Chief and saying, 'You must be my grandson'.

Q: Epsilon delta proof for divergence as $ x \rightarrow \infty $ Im having a problem that looks as follows:
Show that $x^5 - x^2 + 3 \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$
My question is how do we construct the proof for such statements? I cannot even find the correct definition for such limits. I know the definition when we have $\lim f(x) = \infty $, but here we also have x approaching $\infty$. All help would be appreciated.

A: We say that $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\infty$ when$$(\forall M\in\mathbb R)(\exists N\in\mathbb R):x>N\implies f(x)>M.$$So, take $M\in\mathbb R$. Then, take $N\in\mathbb R$ such that $x>N\implies x^2>M$ and $x^3>2$. Then$$x^5-x^2+3=x^2(x^3-1)+3>M\times1+3>M.$$

A: The definition of $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\infty$ is

For any real number $F$, there is a real number $X$ such that $x>X$ implies $f(x)>F$.

In this case we could, for instance, say

If $F<0$, set $X=0$. Otherwise, set $X=F$.

and then prove that this works. Indeed, since our chosen $X$ is non-negative, which means that $x$ will be positive, we have $x^5-x^2+3>x> F$:

*

*For $x\in [0,1)$, $1>x^2$ gives $x^5-x^2+3\geq 2>x$

*For $x\in [1,2]$, $x^5\geq x^2$ gives $x^5-x^2+3\geq3>x$

*For $x>2$, $x^5=x^3\cdot x^2> 8x^2$ gives $x^5-x^2+3> 7x^2+3>x$

A: Option:
Let $x>1$;
$f(x):= x^2(x^3-1) +3>$
$ x^2 \cdot 1 +3> x^2 >x$;
Show that
$\lim_{x \rightarrow\infty}f(x)=\infty$, i.e.
for  $M$, real, positive $(>1)$, there exists a $N$, real positive, s.t.
$x >N$ implies $f(x)> M$.
Choose $N \ge M$ ( $N >1$), then
$x >N$ implies $f(x)>x > N \ge M$.

All the Ways Deputy AG Rosenstein Just Criticized Trump Without Saying His Name Once
Matt NahamJun 11th, 2018, 7:02 pm
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the lifelong Republican who was tasked with outlining the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation in place of a recused Attorney General Jeff Sessions, said a bunch of things from a podium in Montreal on Monday that can easily be read as thinly veiled criticism of President Donald Trump and his associates, even though no names were used.
Rosenstein made general prepared remarks at the International Economic Forum of the Americas Conference in Canada, but it's almost like he was giving an update on things at home, particularly when he mentions the threat corruption and bribery pose for the rule of law and for a flourishing society.
Criticism 1: This Isn't a Witch Hunt.
Rosenstein said the mission of the DOJ is to "pursue the goal of maintaining a just and law-abiding society." This is notable precisely because the DOJ has repeatedly been accused of playing a political game rather than conducting a legitimate investigation of events leading up the result of the 2016 election.
Rosenstein has for months now been in the unenviable position of being a punching bag of sorts for the White House and Congress. In one case, Rosenstein said Republican lawmakers who threatened to draft articles of impeachment against him lacked "courage."
The president has also made his thoughts clear about Rosenstein and the investigation time and again. For example, Rosenstein was deemed more conflicted than anyone in April:
Make no mistake, when Trump supporters or Republican lawmakers called the Russia investigation a "witch hunt" they are questioning the judgment and motives of Rosenstein. Mueller has been empowered by him, after all, to leave few stones unturned. Nowhere has this been clearer in the cases of Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn.
We'll get to them in a moment.
Criticism 2: Freedom and Prosperity Disappears When Corruption Spreads
Rosenstein said that the rule of law is what keeps a society "free and prosperous," saying that practices like bribery fundamentally undercut the "stable legal environment" that "allows investors, innovators, and manufacturers to create and deliver the goods and services that sustain us and improve our lives."
He made his point by way of a short story from a trip:
I visited the nation of Armenia in 1994, when it was transitioning to democracy. I delivered a lecture about laws that prohibit public corruption in the United States. When I finished, a perplexed student raised his hand. He asked, "If you can't pay bribes in America, then how do you get electricity?"
That pragmatic question illustrated how the young man learned to think about his society. Corruption undermines law. It stifles innovation, creates inefficiency, and inculcates distrust.
President Trump's longtime personal attorney Cohen and former campaign chairman Manafort are both being investigated for financial fraud and more, while former national security advisor Flynn admitted he lied to the FBI.
There's no doubt that these facts have "inculcated distrust" among a great number of Americans and contributed to political polarization, and that binary positions on the legitimacy of the Russia Probe have followed.
In Cohen's case, questions have been raised about meetings he had with big corporations after the election, meeting with them and taking money in exchange for "access" to Trump and his administration. Cohen's deal with Novartis, a Swiss-based company, placed him in particular jeopardy if it is determined that he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
There's also the stayed matter against Cohen in California brought by Michael Avenatti and Stormy Daniels. Cohen has been accused of anything from threatening Daniels to colluding with her ex-attorney Keith Davidson against Daniels' interests to violating campaign finance law by not reporting the $130,000 paid to Daniels in exchange for silence about a sexual relationship with Trump.
Notably, Manafort and Trump campaign aide Rick Gates are facing FARA violation charges.
Robert Mueller filed a superseding indictment against Manafort in D.C. on Friday, adding charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice. That's a big problem for Manafort because Mueller has already motioned to have Manafort's pre-trial release conditions revoked or revised. Why? Because Manafort allegedly attempted witness tampering.
Rosenstein said later on his speech that the DOJ takes pride in working with other nations to "detect, deter, and dismantle transnational criminal organizations that pose a threat to our citizens, companies, and nations," mentioning crimes like money laundering and "tax crimes."
Manafort faces charges of money laundering, tax fraud, bank fraud conspiracy and failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. Cohen is also being investigated by the feds for possible bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations. According to the Washington Post, tax returns were also part of materials seized by the FBI.
Incidentally, Trump's tax returns have also been a subject that has elicited public outcry. That moment of glibness aside, it is notable that Rosenstein saw fit to emphasize that international lawbreakers can't hide from his DOJ.
Cohen, Manafort, Gates and Flynn aren't Trump, but they were hired by him.
Criticism 3: the DOJ Isn't Loyal to Anyone But the Rule of Law
President Trump's propensity to demand loyalty of those he bosses is a known factor, but Rosenstein wanted to make it clear that this is not what the DOJ is all about.
Lines like the "Department of Justice is not a business" and "People may think that they want the boss to stand behind them and offer support […] but they really need a leader to stand in front of them and take responsibility" jumped out.
Many preface their support for Trump — or at least describe how he is unique to the political sphere — by saying he is a businessman who understands things out-of-touch academics and wonks may not and he will therefore will hire the best people.
Having already demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case, Rosenstein distanced himself and the DOJ from being in the business of being open for business.
"The Department of Justice is not a business, but we confront many issues that are familiar to anyone who works in a large organization," he said.
In other words, he can understand like Trump does that large organizations have issues that leadership needs to solve, but there is a key difference between how the DOJ and Trump might go about doing that.
It almost sounds like Rosenstein, whose job has been in the balance, might sympathize a little bit with fired FBI Director James Comey — like Rosenstein has "A Higher Loyalty."
Comey, you may recall, wrote in his book that Trump is "unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values" (maybe like the institutional values of the DOJ?) and is "transactional, ego driven and about personal loyalty."
Criticism 4: Time to Transcend Politics and Agree There Are Real, Change-Driven Threats
Connected once again to the rhetoric surrounding the Russia investigation are the ideas that Russian interference a) had no real effect on the 2016 election or b) Americans should be thankful that vulnerabilities and DNC dirt was revealed.
Rosenstein suggested that one great danger of modern life is an inability to move beyond petty, partisan politics while facing challenges that affect everyone — like "hostile governments" and their schemes.
"Many of the organizations represented here today are on the cutting-edge in science, technology, research, and development. Unfortunately, that makes you a target for hostile individuals, organizations, and governments," he said. "They attempt to profit from your ingenuity by infiltrating your computer systems and stealing your intellectual property."
"Threats to safety and security grow more complex over time. When crimes transcend political boundaries and pose grave threats to privacy, security, and financial stability, we all need to work more closely together to combat the threats," he added. "Your challenge is to protect your organization from attacks and prepare to respond when they occur."
How much more challenging does this become when security measures are discredited for political gain?
The most recent glaring example would be the characterization of an FBI "informant" inside the Trump campaign as a "spy" or a Watergate-level offense — an alarmist story even top Republicans like Speaker Paul Ryan have shot down.

The Lotus Blossom Awaits to Bloom – The Mortal Life of Prince Siddhartha
Posted on May 14, 2016 March 18, 2020 by bradkronen
The Lotus Blossom Awaits to Bloom:
The Mortal Life of Prince Siddhartha
In honor of the Birthday of the Lord Buddha, May 14th
Long ago in the year 560 B.C., in a land far to the East at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains, a Prince was born. The child's arrival into the world was quite special considering his mother, Queen Maya, gave birth to him at the age of 40. The royal infant was given the name Siddhartha, which in Sanskrit means "He who achieves his aim."
Recognizing the specialness of his son's birth, the prince's father, King Shuddhodana fetched for an astrologer who predicted, "The child, on attaining manhood, would become either a universal monarch (Chakravarti), or abandoning house and home, would become a perfectly enlightened soul, for the salvation of mankind".
Since Siddhartha was an only child and therefore the sole heir to the throne, the King decided his son should not be allowed to leave his home in order to never experience the world which lay just beyond the palace walls. Based on what was foretold, King Shuddhodana imagined his son reigning over a land even more expansive than what the Prince already stood to inherit and felt Siddhartha could look into holy studies after establishing himself as ruler of this greater and more glorious future Kingdom. The King also sensed the prince would be swayed to pursue the life of a monk should he witness the pain and suffering of others, so Shuddhodana vowed that his son should never encounter anything or anyone beyond the Palace walls nor would he be aware that sorrows of any kind existed in any capacity whatsoever.
Based on his projected presumptions of the future, the King had three monstrously vast palaces built for Prince Siddhartha named Ramya, Suramya, & Subha which translate to: Charming, Very Charming, and Auspicious. Within each palace, a person's senses were thoroughly pleased and every luxury imaginable was within one's reach.
Shielded from the pain and suffering of the outside world, Prince Siddhartha indulged in a life of unabated pleasure, where every whim was satisfied and every desire fulfilled.
When the Prince came into manhood, he was given a pure white horse named Kanthaka, who escorted him wherever he went. Even as Siddhartha rode Kanthaka while learning war game exercises, things were carried out in a most delicate, dare I say prissy manner. As evidenced in the picture chosen for this article, a white sunshade was held above the young Prince day and night to protect him from cold, heat, dust, dirt, and dew, even while riding his horse.
But this reclusive life of absolute pleasure could not last.
It was during the year when the Lord of Karma decrees a person to officially be an adult, the 29th, that Prince Siddhartha finally became weary of his insulated world of never ending luxury. At the beginning of his Saturn Return the royal heir took his horse in the dead of night and willed Kanthaka to jump over both the palace gates and the river that separated the Palaces from the rest of the kingdom.
As ancient legend tells us, upon escaping the confines of his gilded cage Prince Siddhartha soon thereafter became all too aware of the world that lay just beyond his Palaces of Pleasure by witnessing first hand the illness, suffering, and pain of others. However by seeing the full scope of human existence from both its positive and negative spectrums of experience the Prince was in actuality fulfilling the prophecies of his birth.
For not long after leaving his sheltered lifestyle the royal heir known as Siddhartha would renounce his princely title as well as his birthright to rule over his father's kingdom, along with earthly pleasures at large. This same mortal man would eventually become the first and only one of his kind to reach all 52 levels of enlightenment.
Some may be more familiar with the young Prince by his spiritual titles of "The Enlightened One" or "He who has Awakened" or said in a more universal way, The
The Lord Buddha taught through a life of example. His teachings were simple yet at the same time bore a high level of spiritual significance meant for all of Mankind to embody in day to day living. Buddha emphasized a "Middle Way" path of existence where life was balanced by both sensual experience and spiritual asceticism. It was from Buddha's teachings of the Middle Way where Man was given the following gems of the most profound simplicity:
"Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"The mind is everything. What you think you become."
"You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger."
"Three things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, and the Truth."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
"If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another."
"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."
The Buddha's state of inner and outer peace with the world is symbolized by the Lotus Blossom in full bloom.
Each of us must embrace the hardships this world gives us. For it is in experiencing life's challenges and difficulties that wisdom is gained by knowing not to shirk from anything considered messy or indelicate, for that can lead us into the delusion of pretending the darkness does not exist.

Йоганн Шварц (;  1891, Прага, Австро-Угорщина —  1914) — австрійський футболіст, нападник.

Народився і виріс у Празі. Виступав за місцевий ДФК і німецький «Гамбург». У першому сезоні Віденської футбольної ліги захищав кольори «Вієнни» і став найкращим бомбардиром турніру — 22 голи в 18 матчах. По його завершенні вирішив перейти до складу іншої команди з Відня — «Вінер АФ», але через непорозуміння з колишнім клубом був змушений пропустити наступний сезон.

У складі національної збірної дебютував 7 травня 1911 року. У Відні господарі поля здобули перемогу над збірною Угорщини (3:1). Через чотири місяці грав проти німецької збірної у Дрездені (перемога 2:1). У третьому, і останньому матчі за збірну Австрії відзначився забитим м'ячем у ворота угорців.

В останньому турі першості 1913/14, завдяки «дублям» Адольфа Фішери і Йоганна Шварца, «Вінер АФ» обійшов у турнірній таблиці «Рапід» і здобув єдиний в своїй історії титул чемпіона. Був мобілізований на військову службу і загинув у тому ж році від ворожої кулі.

Benjamin VanDell Injured in Duluth Apartment Stabbing. Security Failure?
Did negligent security contribute to this violent Duluth apartment home invasion?
20-year-old Benjamin VanDell was reportedly stabbed in his sleep by an intruder inside his Duluth apartment home Saturday morning, January 27, 2018.
According to the Duluth News Tribune, the intruder "entered an apartment on the 4700 block of Grand Avenue shortly before 7 a.m. and stabbed [Mr. VanDell] up to 15 times." The assailant apparently fled when Mr. VanDell's girlfriend returned home from work.
Did negligent security contribute to this Duluth apartment stabbing? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Minnesota, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.
Apartment residents have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this assault may have been prevented.
How did the assailant gain entry to the complex? What security measures, such as gated-entry, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place to protect residents and deter crime at the time of the home invasion?
Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Benjamin VanDell may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.

Take down Columbus; scrap New London's war machine
The New London Police Department acquired this Cougar armored vehicle for free from the Marine Corps. It sits Feb. 2, 2020, in the city garage. (David Collins/The Day)
By David Collins Day staff writer
d.collins@theday.com DavidCollinsct
New London is very fortunate, in these tumultuous times, to already have in place a well-organized nonprofit working with the city's youth to help them fill leadership roles in the search for social justice.
Hearing Youth Voices, supported by a consortium of Connecticut philanthropic organizations, has for years been tackling issues like problematic school absenteeism policies and the hard-to-crack schools-to-prison pipeline.
But the youth-led, New London-based group had probably its finest moment Saturday, when it mobilized 1,000 protesters for a peaceful march through New London, adding the city's booming voice to the national anguish and call for change in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.
As inspiring as the organization of the weekend protest was, Hearing Youth Voices' draft of a petition demanding change in the city was even more impressive.
As of Tuesday afternoon more than 4,700 signatures were on the online petition, and the number was growing by the hour.
I understand the signatures are uncertified and not necessarily by city residents, but there are more of them than there were voters in the city's last mayoral race.
The petition demands strike me as generally appropriate and constructive. They need to be taken up promptly.
For instance, abolition of the institutionalized, police-influenced Police Community Relations Committee called for by the petition is long overdue. The call for replacing it with an independent community police review board is timely and pitch-perfect in tone at this moment.
There are some other demands that could be met easily and quickly to send a strong message that we have indeed reached a moment in which systematic racism, especially in policing, must be addressed.
Take down the Christopher Columbus statue on Bank Street. Communities around the country already have done this. Let's have a quick removal vote by the City Council.
The statue was spray-painted during the weekend protest, and city public works and police moved quickly afterward to clean it up and investigate who did it. Why does a city that tolerates so much illegal blight care so deeply about vandalism to something that so deeply offends so many of its residents?
An even better example of the city being tone deaf is the armored military-grade, land-mine-crushing Cougar, complete with gun turret, which the city keeps stockpiled in the public works garage.
In light of the petition demand to demilitarize the police department and a new bipartisan effort in Congress to end the program that sends military surplus like the Cougar to municipal police departments, I reached out to New London police Chief Peter Reichard. I wondered if he still thinks it is a good idea, post-Floyd killing, to have a war machine in the city's arsenal.
He wrote back in an email that the heavy vehicle was intended for use with evacuations and to protect officers in active-shooter situations. He said it came to the city at no cost and that police should have better explained plans for its limited use when it was acquired.
I'd like to see them drain the oil and gas from it and push it off the back of one of the Long Island ferries. It's a new world. Send it back to the battlefields it came from.
There are other reasonable ideas that should open a community dialogue, including adjusting the amount of fines to income and encouraging community service for petty offenses.
The petitioners reasonably demand oversight of the police union contract, which tends to be a broad blueprint for policing. More community input is needed.
The petition also asks for a diversion of city funds from police to support schools and residents who are black, brown and poor. The city certainly should look anew at its spending and priorities with these ideas in mind.
Are we spending too much on policing? One commenter on the petition suggested a comparison of the condition of police cruisers to city schools.
The mayor and City Council have their work cut out. I trust they are up to it. Thankfully, it seems less is needed here than in so many other places.
We've all been asking ourselves over these tough weeks what we can do to begin to end racism.
The young people of New London have some good ideas, and we should listen and act.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

If you love sports and watch games on your TV whenever possible then you can certainly include a fun aspect for your love for sports by betting over the outcome. This could help you remain enthusiastic about sports and also enable you to earn money should you find a way to win most of your bets. Nevertheless, since gambling upon sports is not legitimate in the USA, you will have to move towards the internet to easily place your own bets. Here is how you can bet at sports betting sites while not experiencing any kind of glitches.
You should never blindly open up an account with just about any bookmaker upon any internet site before cross-verifying the credentials. There are several black sheep inside the online market which focus on relieving folks of their money by canceling bets, or simply not coughing up the winning sums. Make sure that you have references from someone that has played in the website.
There are mind-numbing sports activities to choose from like boxing, golf, basketball, football, basketball, golf among many more. All these might be played out at college levels or maybe at pro levels. Horse racing as well as car races too tend to be popular among numerous gambling enthusiasts. You can bet upon teams, their own players, the total scores and also the range by which any team could win or even lose, amid a number of other factors, thus turning gambling right into a pretty much intriguing sport itself.
Once you do get to the home page of any kind of betting website, you will be invited to open up an account with them. You might also be offered starting or perhaps joining-up bonuses that will help to get going. You will have to send in your credit card details and the total procedure for registration on any web site will normally be finished within just a couple of minutes.
You may have to transfer-in some sort of starting deposit as well. Several internet sites also provide some other methods to send out your winnings like by way of bank transfers or even by cheques. Utilize the option most suitable for you. Additionally, you will have to open accounts with a number of other betting websites in order to augment your own probability of winning on your wager. Once the registration is finished as well as your money is shifted inside, then you could start betting for your favorite sport. Comprehend the fine print of each and every site prior to betting so that there is no issues at a later date.
Hence, even though looking for the genuinely great websites can be a bit difficult, as soon as you do locate a good site then it is very easy to open an account and begin betting. There are many superb sports betting sites which will allow you to mix your interest in sports together with an opportunity to win money and once you do find them then its just smooth sailing.

The Kinks iron out kinks to make a return
Brilliant 1960s rockers The Kinks are preparing to make a much-awaited return, after apparently sorting out various internal disputes.
Most of these were between brothers Ray and Dave Davies, who have made the bickering of the Gallagher brothers look like mere pillow-fighting. Then there were the other hostilities between Dave and drummer Mick Avory.
The revelation that hatchets have been buried – and not in the various members' scones – has come to light in an interview Ray Davies recently gave to Channel 4 in the UK.
Davies claimed that they've been inspired by the Rolling Stones, with a new album from The Kinks being recorded, along with plans for a tour.
"It won't be well-organised like the Rolling Stones. You must praise the Rolling Stones for being great at publicity and a great band great at organising their careers, and Mick has done an incredible PR job and it's kind of inspiring to see them doing it. But The Kinks will probably be playing the local bar."
Despite the apparent confirmed nature of all of this, when asked to state definitively whether The Kinks are reforming, Davies quipped, "Officially we are… in the pub later on."
The band's last release was in 1994, and their last public performance was in 1996. They've since lost bassist Jim Rodford (also of The Zombies and Argent), who died after a fall earlier this year.
While we're on the subject of The Kinks, here's one of the greatest songs ever…
