Effects of Total Pressures on Performances of a Disk MHD Generator
Yoshinori Saito, Hiroyuki Yamasaki, Kazumi Tsunoda, Nobuhiro Harada, Kunio Yoshikawa, Shigeharu Kabashima, Susumu Shioda
Effects of total pressures on performances of a disk MHD generator were studied. Current-voltage characteristics, power outputs, distributions of both static pressure and Hall potential and swirl were measured at two different total pressures. The experimental results show that at the low total pressure, the current-voltage characteristics become steep, and as a result, the maximum power output is obtained at higher load resistances. It was observed that the enthalpy extraction rate was kept almost constant although the power output decreased at the low total pressure. These phenomena can be explained by the change of the Hall parameters, flow velocities and swirls in the MHD channel.

Say it With Steak This Valentine's Day at Beefeater - Emersons Green
We celebrated Valentine's Day early, in fact 11 whole days early on 3rd February. I couldn't resist the chance to go to Beefeater again and my birthday provided the perfect excuse to be wined* and dined *breastfeeding.
There's lots on the menu for couples who love hearty food (forgive the pun but it is the week of the red organ :-) ).
Hubby had the Beefeater Mixed Grill which comes with lots of bits and pieces that can be easily stolen shared. I knew he'd keep a tight reign on his Onion Rings so I made sure to order a side portion of those.
Beefeater Mixed Grill
For the perfect combo, have it all with our platter of 4oz flat iron steak, chicken breast, gammon steak and pork sausages. All seared to perfection on our chargrill and served with half a slow-roasted tomato and mushroom, crispy beer-battered onion rings, fried egg and triple cooked chips
Upgrade to a 10oz Rump Steak for just 2.79 extra.
The triple cooked chips (and also unlimited skinny chips) are unlimited so the second they said "is everything okay?" we ordered plenty more for Aaron and I to share. Neither of our dishes came with chips so it was perfect - besides, food off someone else's plate ALWAYS tastes better doesn't it?!?!?!? :-)
For me, when I think Beefeater I think steak and they do it very well, so it's the perfect meaty option for Valentine's Day. Even more so considering their "Say it with Steak this Valentine's Day" promotion which means you get 3 courses for £19.99 at Beefeater. Click on the link to see the menu you choose from. That offer is available from Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th February.
STEAK at BEEFEATER
Every steak we serve is special. Why? Because we source all of our meat from farms we trust to deliver the best quality. We employ master butchers to hand-cut each steak and expertly age them for 21 days. We even train all of our chefs in our very own steak academy to perfect the grill of every cut we serve.
That's why each steak that leaves our kitchen is nothing short of mouth-wateringly marbleous
All our steaks are served with half a slow roasted tomato, grilled mushroom, lamb's lettuce, salad and unlimited triple cooked chips or skinny fries. For a lighter option ask your server to swap chips for a salad
If you love sharing food in that romantic finger licking tapas type way, then there are a whole section of sharers on the Beefeater menu including:
Sharing Potato Dippers
Freshly Grilled Tear and Share Flatbread
The Beefeater Sharing Platter
Ribs and Wings Combo
I didn't order any starters but I did order a side salad and a portion of onion rings both of which we shared despite hubby having his own onion rings - hhhmmmmm what is it with that? ;-)
The fab thing with Beefeater is they sell warming "Pud, Pud Glorious Puds" which are perfect for the hubby as he loves anything that resembles a steamed pudding that's served with custard, except this time he tried Clotted Cream for the first time, and quite literally said he is now a convert. His exact words, that it is orgasmic! This was served with the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Last time we dined at Beefeater I had the Raspberry Bakewell which was at the time brand new on the menu. That is literally to die for:
Raspberry Bakewell
A slice of bakewell with a light pastry base, raspberry jam, pistachios and almond flavoured sponge. Served warm with custard
This time I did not have room for dessert so opted for the Deluxe Hot Chocolate which was formidable! Hit my need for a sweet tooth solution AND my penchant for having an after dinner hot drink (wasn't going to risk coffee with my newborn sleep deprivation or a hot drink with alcohol being that I am breastfeeding).
The Sundaes at Beefeater are truly spectacular and remind you of the Knickerbocker Glorys of childhood. I've had the Eton Mess Sundae at Beefeater before and can recommend it.
I love the layout of Beefeater. It means that the husband feels like we have privacy and I also feel that when Aaron is being lively he is not disturbing other patrons all of which makes it the perfect place to be romantic on Valentine's too. We sat at a lovely booth, our new family of FOUR :-) but it could have easily dined 8 people - perfect for the large family or perhaps small family dining with extended family. The table next to us were doing just that and celebrating a birthday. Our Beefeater has an upstairs and a downstairs so lots of various seating available. For parents, perhaps try eating at 1800 like we did, either because you want to get home for bedtime, or because you have the kids with you. Being romantic and dining out doesn't have to mean a late night and it means you can get in when it's slightly less crowded. Our Beefeater likes to start setting up for breakfast at 2200 anyway.
Normally I would have been looking at the wine list but I didn't tease myself with that and it'll be something to look forward to when I am done with breastfeeding. Wow that first glass of wine will taste good considering I didn't just give up for pregnancy but also did when I was trying to conceive.
I find Beefeater to be a very wholesome/hearty place to eat as a family. Not at all rowdy and with waiters/waitresses that really make you feel at home, with a great deal of patience and a natural warmth with children. All the staff we've encountered always make a huge effort with Aaron, so he always feels welcomed and included, which is perhaps why he dances a jig whenever we go there. Last time he LOVED the Mr Men activity book and the 4 Mister Men figurines they gave him on exit. Testimony to how great the place is, this time there were no figurines and no activity books, yet he loved it just as much and that's purely down to the atmosphere, the quality of the food and the quality of the service so no wonder everytime we go we leave a £5 tip.
If you have read my last blog post you will know that we braved our trip to Beefeater with a newborn. It went incredibly well, although it took us a long time to get out of the house. I have nailed packing all the right stuff and getting everything done on time, but it's the surprises she springs on me as we are going out the door that make me late. Thankfully this has only happened for Beefeater and for Aaron's half term Art Workshop and hasn't made us late for school yet.
As you'll know from my last blog post, our meal was complimentary for the purposes of this review. Thank you Beefeater, was great to celebrate my birthday in style especially straight after a C section and week 1 of sleep deprivation - great to let someone else worry about what's for dinner :-) Couldn't have been better timing as it cheered up the first week of hubby being back at work after Paternity Leave too.

text: Situated in central Tyler, the Short-Line Residential Historic District is approximately five blocks northwest of Tyler's courthouse square. It encompasses 11 modest, nearly identical dwellings constructed as rental housing for African-American citizens in two phases, one about 1930 and the other about 1935. The Craftsmen style bungalows are good examples of relatively uncommon "row" type housing erected in the 1920's and 1930's on large parcels in working class neighborhoods in central and southwest Tyler. After World War II, these dwellings were offered for sale to the families who had rented them for many years. Theses 11 dwellings remain the best-preserved portion of a larger African-American neighborhood. Landscaping in the district includes informal plantings of shrubs and lawn. Concrete walks lead to each front door. The district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

Train2Game News Blockchain ecosystem coming to Unity
Posted on October 25, 2017 by Train2Game Blogger Team
GameCredits, a Blockchain company driving innovation in the games industry, today announced the company has signed a deal with Unity Technologies, creator of the world's most popular creation engine, that will bring the benefits of blockchain to more than 3 billion devices and millions of game developers worldwide.
Through this deal, both companies will introduce novel forms of game distribution for the $100 billion gaming industry, placing a particular focus on the fast-growing world of mobile gaming and eSports. GameCredits' mobile game store, GPlay, will be integrated with Unity's game-development ecosystem and developers will be able to effortlessly publish their games directly into GPlay. GPlay will share 90% of gross revenue (instead of the industry standard 70%), and will pay developers within 60 hours (instead of 60 days).
"Unity is known for aggressively adopting new technologies that democratize game development, solve hard problems and enable success for developers. With GameCredits, we intend to bring about a paradigm shift in the gaming industry. Blockchain solutions will help disintermediate game publishing and give better returns to creators," said Hubert Larenaudie, President Asia Pacific, Unity Technologies.
"Our partnership with Unity Technologies is a major step forward for both the gaming industry and the blockchain world. With GPlay and our eSport platform, we are bringing the benefits of blockchain and digital assets to the largest global audience yet, enabling true mainstream adoption of these technologies for the first time," said Sergey Sholom, GameCredits CEO and GPlay President.
Unity exists to democratize development, solve hard problems and enable success – three core values that are the driving forces of Unity's adoption by millions of creators. Unity powers more than 50% of all new mobile games and over 2/3rds of all AR and VR content. Interactive content made with Unity reaches nearly 3 billion devices worldwide.
Following a record-breaking $53 million crowdsale earlier this year, GameCredits has been developing a suite of blockchain products for the gaming industry, all under its GPlay initiative. GameCredits recently joined Hyperledger, a Linux Foundation blockchain consortium whose members include IBM, Intel, Cisco, American Express, JP Morgan and other leaders from various industries.
GamesCredits will introduce its blockchain solutions at Unite the popular developers conferences in Melbourne, Singapore and India in the next few weeks.

Florida voters will have the chance to empower communities with a constitutional amendment on Election Day, Nov. 4. The amendment gives them a choice in supporting their local colleges.
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings recently reported that 90 percent of the new jobs being created in this country require college-level learning. No greater barometer of success exists for a community than the number of residents with a college degree.
With the second-lowest median income in the nation, the region needs to expand access to higher education. The growth of the region depends on the continued strength of MDC.
Amendment 8 offers a practical and positive solution: Let local communities decide by referendum how to support community colleges.


Using the intentionally broad category of "populations and power," write a short (1500 words) review essay in which you identify the categories, mechanisms, and social relations in each text listed below. This assignment is meant to help us consolidate a theoretical vocabulary and clarify our thinking before moving on.
You may also try to relate each text to the others, but beware, you are not writing a paper to get the "true" meaning of the terms; you are to stand back and explain how these texts use the categories. To do this you must keep the many voices, including yours, separate and clear. It should always be absolutely clear to a reader precisely who is talking at any given moment. This can be as simple as "According Foucault…" or "Marx would disagree here because…." If you include your own voice, announce that, too—though your voice should be confined to the intro and the end. You DO NOT need a conclusion. This can and should stay at the level of analysis, not criticism or expansion. That will come later.
Due on Collab "Assignments" tab at 5 pm, Friday March 2.
Papers received after 5 pm will be docked one-third of a grade (i.e. from A- to B+). Papers received after 11:59 pm on the 2nd will be docked two-thirds of a grade (i.e. from A- to B). Each following midnight will be another third of a grade deduction.


George Dixon Primary School is larger than the average-sized primary school. There is a privately run before- and after-school childcare provider on site. This is subject to a separate inspection at a different time. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils at the school is above the national average. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is well above the national average. More than 40 different languages are spoken in the school. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is above the national average. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information about SEN, phonics, the use of the pupil premium and the primary school sport funding on its website. In 2016, the school met the government's floor standards, which set out the minimum expectations for pupils' progress and attainment by the end of Year 6. Since the previous inspection, the entire senior leadership team has changed.
This is a school that requires improvement Since the previous inspection, standards in reading, writing and mathematics have declined. Standards are now rising but pupils who recently left the school were not fully prepared for learning at secondary school. Until recently, leaders and governors have not done enough to challenge shortcomings in teaching and learning. Teaching has not been informed by reliable assessment. Consequently, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding. Currently, some teaching is still not pitched at the right level. The support for least-able pupils varies in its effectiveness. Middle-ability pupils have a lot a ground to cover if they are to succeed in line with their potential. There is room for continued improvement in the early years so that children are better prepared for learning in Year 1. Some pupils miss too much school without good reason and this hinders their learning. Playground behaviour, while now improving, can be overly rough at times. The school has the following strengths School leaders have an accurate understanding of the school's performance. They have already brought about improvements to teaching and learning. Staff are attentive to pupils' welfare and act as positive role models. Physical education (PE) teaching is highly effective and motivates pupils to do their best in lots of ways. Pupils' conduct in class is usually good. Good behaviour is rewarded and poor behaviour is not accepted. Procedures for keeping pupils safe at school are effective. Many of the most able pupils make good progress because they respond well to the higher expectations of current teaching.

Dallas Cowboys History
Cliff Harris is okay with having his Hall of Fame induction pushed back a year
Cowboys safety waited a long time, now he has to wait another year.

It's been a very long wait for Cliff Harris to finally make the NFL Hall of Fame. The Cowboys safety was a mainstay on the 70s teams that won two Super Bowls and went to several others. Harris was a member of the 1970s All-Decade Team, went to six Pro Bowls, was four times a First Team All-Pro, and is a member of the Ring of Honor. He was just that good.
For whatever reason, it took all the way until this year for him to finally get the call to the Hall. Now, he'll have to wait one more year for that induction ceremony.
"The health and safety of our Hall of Famers, fans and volunteers who make Enshrinement Week so special remains our top priority," [HoF CEO David] Baker said in a statement. "The Hall will honor the Centennial Class of 2020 next August, along with what promises to be an equally spectacular Class of 2021, as part of a multiday celebration of football with an atmosphere that will deliver for fans 'Twice the Fun in '21.'"
The Cowboys will miss out on the Hall of Fame preseason game against the Steelers, and Harris and coach Jimmy Johnson will have to wait until next year for those gold jackets. But after waiting so long, Harris is taking the news in stride.
"I'm happy to be going into the Hall of Fame," Harris said. "I'm elated. It's just incredible. It's beyond my belief that I made it. So [the postponement], it's like football, it's like life. You've got to adjust to the situation and whatever that is and make the best of it. That's the way I look at it."
"The world will be stabilized next year, hopefully," Harris said. "I know with everything that's going on here, with the whole world in turmoil, right now I know it will be better next year. I feel like it. There will be peace, hopefully, and I want that to happen."
Classy approach from Harris. It might seem like a long way from now, but come August 2021, we'll be able to celebrate one of the best to ever represent the Star.

The Overextension of the Media
As a new member of the Commenting Community, I may be contradicting myself in being so critical.
However, someone has to say: Enough is enough!
Really, who cares about the invidious rants of a producer-director-actor who has not produced any significant work in the last five years?
Or the maudlin self-pity of a child-actor now facing a ninety-day jail sentence for breaking the law?
Or even the chronic cyber-stalking of fashions, fads, and frenzies these days? Are the personal tastes and prejudices of these Hollywood types really that important? Who really makes these decisions, or rather, dictates that a viewing public should care?
Turn off the television if you must, but could we spend at least five minutes of our lives pondering more important issues, concerns with global reach and eternal value?:
1. The fate of our soldiers and our nation's ideals as they fight in the fields and mountains of Afghanistan.
2. The growing encroachment of the State into our medical care, our purchases, our financial firms, and even our publishing institutions.
3. The decline--but also possible resurgence-- of quality public education in this country. Despite the overwhelming amount of information burgeoning forth daily, have students learned how to evaluate the quality of all this information?
4. The diminution of our purchasing power in the face of inflation, taxation, and excessive indebtedness which will inflict great harm on future generations in this country.
5. The cannibalization of our children by senior citizens' siphoning away our future from our children and their children through the Welfare State, i. e. Social Security and Medicare.
5. The growing threat of Islamo-fascism, both in the United States, against Israel, and around the world.
These are the issues which viewers, which active citizens, should be caring about, thinking about, discussing, and acting upon.

I do not think of myself as a strict libertarian, for I advocate limited government as opposed to no government at all, an extreme which anarcho-libertarians like Murray Rothbard advocated.
However, I am convinced after all the talk and debate, that at long last we should end the War on Drugs in this country.
It does not keep our streets safer.
It does not prevent people from using. In fact, it adds to the allure of the street culture and entices people to get involved.
It fails to protect users, their friends, and their families from the negative effects of drug use.
It merely subsidizes easily corruptible bureaucracies which either infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens, or enables the production and sale of the very product which they are trying to destroy.
Just Say No to the War on Drugs!
Conservatism and Death Penalty
As I mentioned in my previous post, two basic elements of the conservative philosophy are:
Limited Government.
Within individual liberty is the commit to life, for without life one cannot enjoy the liberty to practice the other natural rights accorded to man by his Creator. Within limited government, not its absence, the rule of law protects liberty and the natural rights therein.
Now that I have clarified these two propositions, I am compelled to make the case for abolishing the death penalty, an institution which runs contrary to the two fundamental tenets of conservatism which I have outlined above.
Individual liberty means recognizing the opportunity for individuals to make choices, not just holding them responsible for making bad choices. Individual liberty contains within itself the opportunity for moral improvement. As Dr. Benjamin Rush noted in the early years of the Republic, many criminals who have committed capital crimes later regret what they have done, not necessarily because they were caught. Individual liberty does not absolve an offender from the consequences of committed a crime, but to end a person's life presumes that the offender cannot exercise his liberty properly in the future, undercutting the basic current of individual liberty: choice.
Some contend, as did John Locke, that a person forfeits his right to life when he takes the life of another. I argue that individual liberty is not compromised when the life of a capital offender is not taken in turn for having taken the life of another. One can very well argue that the civil death which occurs as a result of an offender being locked away for life without the possibility of parole to be just as effective a retribution as putting the offender to death.
Others have even stated, as did Kant, that if a society refuses to end the life of a murderer, the value of life depreciates within that community. However, no matter how ardently one codifies the legal right to take a capital offender's life, some one individual has to strap down the death-row inmate, someone has to press the last button, pull the lever, or shoot the gun that leads kills the capital offender. How then will the executioner appreciate human life in the aftermath of having killed a man, no matter how egregious his crime? Even if the circumstances warrant the legality of taking a life, the moral outcome cannot be compromised: an individual, or a group of individuals hiding behind the mandate of written law have taken a life, and for that reason the value of human life is diminished in that community. In effect, the death penalty compromises the very value it seeks to affirm.
In addition to its inevitable nature to compromise the very value it seeks to maintain, the death penalty accords too much power to the State, an imperfect association in which individuals who have not committed capital offenses are inadvertently convicted of crimes, only to be saved by the resolute action of legal advocates fighting within the appellate process. Certainly because of the potential for miscarriages of justice the State should not decide who lives and who dies within its own bounds. Moreover, the State should take steps to protects all of its members, those who commit crimes as well as those who have not, for therein lies the basis for government: to promote individual liberty, all in respect to the rule of law and the sanctity of life, which makes liberty a reality.
Perhaps my opposition to the Death Penalty on conservative principles is too simplistic or idealistic, since I am basing my arguments on two fundamental propositions. Yet we should not shy away from evaluating whether our current legal system operates within the philosophy which our Founders espoused. Even though the Constitution recognizes the Death Penalty, it does not follow that one should support its practice. I merely wish to contend that, contrary to the current conservative consensus, Capital Punishment is not in sync with conservative principles and should be done away with.
Response To Jonathan Krohn's Definition of Conservatism
Recently, I skimmed Jonathan Krohn's work "Defining Conservatism: The Principles That Will Bring Our Country Back"
I found very persuasive the four fundamental tenets of conservatism which Krohn outlined:
1. Respect for the Constitution
2. Respect for Human Life
3. Belief in Minimalist Government
4. Insistence upon Personal Responsibility
I think, however, that the fundamental philosophy of conservatives versus liberals comes down to a simpler statement of fact:
Conservatives, or individuals on the right, emphasize individual and national liberty, as opposed to those on the left, who support group and global equality (See Henry Nau "Tribal Warfare on the Right").
Conservatives want to limit government and emphasize the role of the individual, whereas liberals want to emphasize the role and growth of government, with the individual playing an ancillary role.
Within these two statements one may extract the different trends of conservatism.
Response To Jonathan Krohn's Definition of Conserv...


In December, 1995, I was asked to write an article on the future of banking for a small Spanish magazine - Mundo Español - published in London. Today, reading about the "demise" of banks because of the "fintech revolution", I had a feeling of déjà vu and thought I would share the article I wrote all those years ago. Hope you enjoy!
The spate of mergers and acquisitions that have taken place within the banking sector since the beginning of the year, may have made bankers reminisce, some maybe with nostalgia, about the late 1980's and the fireworks over the Thames to celebrate the liberalisation of the London Stock Exchange -the Big Bang.
Then, banks and stockbrokers jostled with each other as they tried to secure a prominent position in the market by merging with or acquiring the dealer and broker firms operating in it, or by enticing away whole teams of brokers with the offer of astronomical salaries -something very welcomed by the owners of the watering holes in the City, as these individuals promptly invested sizeable chunks of their windfall in these establishments. The frantic activity that ensued in London, as in other financial centres, was boosted by the merger mania in the corporate sector, and continued until Black Monday in October 1987.
This time round, some of the reasons given for the mergers and acquisitions may be the same and will probably mention synergy, economies of scale or competitiveness, but now they are taking place in the wake of a recession, and the atmosphere is one of gloom rather than self-congratulation.
In the U.S alone, 277 mergers and acquisitions have taken place since the beginning of the year. In August, the merger between Chemical and Chase created the country's biggest bank with assets of $297 billion. In March, Mitsubishi Bank and Bank of Tokyo sealed a merger creating the world's biggest bank with assets of $700 billion. In the U.K, Swiss Bank Corporation bought the investment banking business of S.G.Warburg, Dresdner Bank bought Kleinwort Benson, and recently Lloyds and TSB have agreed to merge, to mention but a few examples.
What are the reasons for all these mergers and acquisitions? There are many, but the main one is "financial disintermediation". Traditionally, banks have had a virtual monopoly as intermediaries in the financial system; they accept deposits (appearing as liabilities in their balance sheets) and make loans (which appear as assets), with the peculiarity that most of those deposits are liquid since they have to be repaid on demand, and most of the loans are illiquid since they are granted with maturities in the future.
This "intermediation" is sustainable as long as savers continue to channel their money to the banks, and borrowers do not default. What has been happening in recent years is that banks, on the one hand have been confronted by the proliferation of non-bank financial intermediaries in the form of investment funds, insurance companies, and even the financial arm of department stores, competing to attract the money from savers and investors, and on the other have suffered losses as a result of loan defaults and/or bad management. Even their traditional business of lending to corporates has been hit by this process of disintermediation, as companies have increasingly resorted to the capital markets to raise funds.
In view of all this, analysts and academics have for some time been speculating on whether we are witnessing the slow agonising death of most banks, to be replaced by a myriad of financial intermediaries specialising in specific areas, and those banks which are deemed necessary for the smooth functioning of a modern financial sector.
Whether this scenario is probable depends, to a large extent, on how we define what a bank is. The process of disintermediation and the competition from non-bank financial intermediaries have forced many banks to adapt to the changing circumstances, and they have done so in many different ways. In some cases the transformation of a bank has been of such a magnitude that is has led to the question: is it a bank or a financial services company offering bank services? Today, many so-called banks derive a higher proportion of their income from securities and foreign exchange trading, and fees, than they do from the interest spread on their lending.
The picture that emerges is a fuzzy one, if anything because in some countries a banking group will own a retail banking operation concentrating on "traditional" lending to individuals and small/medium companies through a branch network, maybe another bank catering for large corporates and engaged in investment banking activities, a securities trading operation, an insurance company, etc.
In continental Europe, for example, there is a tradition of universal banks offering the whole spectrum of financial services, and with large shareholdings in industrial companies that result in an intimate, and sometimes exclusive, lending relationship. For a long time, these banks operated in oligopolistic markets shielded from foreign competition by regulation and the high costs of entry, but with the gradual removal of restrictions for foreign banks and the onset of the Single European Market, some of them began to break ranks in order to adapt and compete in a new environment. In Spain, Banco Santander took the initiative by the introduction of the supercuentas in 1989, and since then banks have fought fierce battles to keep or to poach each others customers as new or revamped products have been introduced into the market (investment funds, mortgage loans, personal pensions, etc.). During this period there have also been a number of mergers and acquisitions, the two largest of which created Banco Bilbao Vizcaya and Banco Central Hispano; the consolidation of the public sector banks into Argentaria; and the majority purchase of Banesto by Banco Santander after the collapse of the former in December 1993.
What does appear to be clear from the process underway in the banking sector is that banks have to adapt or die. Some, like the American investment banks have for a long time followed a strategy of providing specialised and innovative services at a global level (admittedly, forced to some extent by the provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act); others have opted to stay in their home markets trying to become a dominant force by increasing volume through mergers and acquisitions; some have sought new markets in the emerging economies; and yet others have concentrated, more than most, in providing risk-management products and in securities and foreign exchange trading.
Some will succeed and others will, for various reasons, die trying like Banesto and Barings -but as Kipling would say, that is another story.

Today's Industrial Revolution is Challenging Old Recruitment Methods
Utilizing modern predictive capabilities to address the changing workforce.
Pete Butler
In the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is a debate as to whether our technologically advanced economy benefits or disadvantages the U.S. workforce. Artificial intelligence, robotics and the internet of things are sweeping across industries, triggering job security fears among some workers. In reality, companies are utilizing such technology to find the right employees, at the right time. With the help of predictive analytics and similar data processing, companies can reach and hire a larger pool of qualified applicants.
Job openings are projected to meet, even surpass, the historical peak of 2001 in the coming years. As the manufacturing industry reevaluates its future, it is clear that there is a significant skills gap. A report by The Manufacturing Institute reveals that unfilled manufacturing jobs could reach 2.4 million by 2028, causing the U.S. to lose $454 billion. Following the economic recession of 2008, millennials being introduced to the workforce were forced to reevaluate the terms of full-time work. This led them to look for part-time contract work, consequently helping the manufacturing industry. To proactively fill positions in this changing industry, there needs to be a strong collaboration between people, processes and systems.
The use of predictive analytics and machine-learning has become an efficient way to find and employ skilled candidates. Using these processes eliminates the guesswork and time expenditure of placing employees through more traditional methods while allowing for more targeted recruitment strategies.
No stranger to product fluctuation and supply chain breakdowns, manufacturers and top-tier suppliers are in an ideal position to hire from the gig workforce. To streamline the process, operations and workforce management teams can take the following steps:
No. 1 - Utilize predictive analytics to monitor productivity and identify inconsistencies
Gathering quality performance metrics from one end of the supply chain to the other, manufacturers can determine which processes are working and where inconsistencies exist. This type of data-driven decision-making helps target and hire freelance workers who possess the necessary traits and skills to maintain fluidity and performance in meeting objectives. The use of predictive in recruiting from large talent pools allows companies to select and retain talent committed to advancing within the field. Utilizing the gig economy, businesses may find talent to fulfill their need, but that support the long-term mission. Predictive analytics recruits with the goal of retaining; bringing in the best talent and determining best next steps for continued training and advancement. Continuously analyzing workplace and labor data assures hiring and turnover needs are both met and kept.
No. 2 - Deploy a mobile platform
As a predominantly millennial-led group, gig workers spend most of their time on mobile devices rather than traditional forms of communication. To reach the key players of the 21st century, businesses must reimagine traditional recruiting channels. With a text or click, employees are being hired and offered incentives to recruit others. , it is just as to continue utilizing the technology that first attracted the talent. a platform where employees can go to train, receive feedback and monitor progress streamlines processes steering away from constant supervision as a means of assuring quality performance.
Simultaneously, scalable applications, specifically solutions software, can compile employee related data (tenure, attendance, performance, issue identification) for employers into one presentable dashboard while allowing for real-time communication. To effectively communicate through the multiple channels of the management supply chain, liaisons at each manufacturing and supply chain location need to be trained and fluent in the use of mobile, integrated data platforms.
No. 3 - Develop scalable solutions
To further economize, manufacturers and suppliers should carefully analyze the ebb and flow of their production needs, as many experience apparent seasonal trends. A flexible, trained and scalable workforce acquired through the above processes can allow manufacturers to reduce costs and ensure staffing levels are managed accordingly for seasonal production demands.
Leveraging innovative recruiting channels streamlines manufacturing business processes, while lowering overhead and saving time. As competition continues to scale, it is crucial to adapt to the economic environment; in this case, the utilization of the gig economy in tandem with modern technological offerings and trends.

by Kehinde Ajose
in Entertainment, Trending
An unidentified female fan of singer Tiwa Savage has apologized for watching the singer's sex tape that went viral on Monday night.
In a viral video, the fan who regretted watching the "Somebody's son" singer's leaked sex tape, pleaded for her forgiveness.
Go into pornography, dump music, Tiwa Savage told
Tiwa Savage questions why Dangote isn't her father
According to the fan, everyone around her can attest to the fact that she loves the Tiwa while expressing deep regret for having to watch the leaked sex clip.
"I shouldn't have watched the Tiwa Savage sex tape. I love Tiwa Savage so much and everyone around me, they can testify about that. I'm sorry, Tiwa Savage," she said with tears flowing down her eyes.
She added: "Tiwa Savage, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have watched your sex tape. God knows I am truly sorry."

Ifemeludike, however, condemned the act by Tiwa Savage, stating that the vocalist should apologize to her fans.
In an Instagram post, she said, "Even though I find this supposed 'sex tape drama' as a huge distraction, I haven't seen the video and I have no care in the world what an adult does with her personal life but my people, bad thing na bad thing, especially if it's coming from a person young people look up to.
"You may want to defend this disgusting trend by saying 'she didn't release it bla bla bla' but in a normal society, I'd expect the person in question to expose whoever is behind this act, for accountability and persecution.
"She needs to publicly admit her carelessness and apologise to her fans. We can't keep saluting immoral behaviours while our young daughters watch.
"She's been also accused of intentionally allowing this video to flood the internet space at the same time her latest music video is launched.
"These are all speculations. I don't believe them but Tiwatope Savage Balogun must clear the air for posterity and our growing daughters! Sex is a sacred gift given to humans to enjoy in matrimony by God."

On the first of September 2013, the Spanish Real Madrid Football Club made public its acquisition of Gareth Bale, for a record price of 100 million euro. Real Madrid has built up a considerable amount of debt in recent years. The acquisition of Bale is in large part financed by Caja Madrid, a regional bank which is now part of Bankia. Recently, Bankia has been bailed out by the ESM for no less than 18 billion euro. So in reality, European funds are being used as a backstop for unsustainable practices in the Spanish football competition.
1. Does the Commission regard these financial arrangements as a distortion of competition between clubs competing on a Europe-wide level?
2. Does the Commission approve of an ESM-backed bank being involved in an extravagant record deal, with the European taxpayer as its ultimate backstop?

Let's address the elephant in the room: Soon there might not be any left in there
Posted On August 8, 2017	 Mark Bell 0
Alone. Abandoned. Attacked.
In Kenya, an injured, malnourished and dehydrated 3 month old baby elephant roams the country's wilderness by himself in search of help. Due to his fragile state and inability to keep up with the herd, it's likely that his family and friends were forced to leave him behind.
Following a number of poaching causalities in the area, it's possible that the infant's mother was brutally killed by poachers in search of ivory–making him an orphan shortly after he was born.
Growing weaker by the day without his mother's milk, and with lions, jackals and other dangerous predators lying in wait of prey, it's amazing that he's still alive.
Saving Sattao
Named after the area where he was found in Tsavo National Park, Sattao is just one of many baby elephants who have been rescued by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), a charity raising awareness of elephants and among many others supporting World Elephant Day on August 12th.
At the heart of their conservation work is the Orphan's Project, which is renowned worldwide for its immensely successful elephant and rhino rehabilitation program.
Sattao was rescued on March 18th 2017 after several people reported seeing a tiny baby elephant with bite marks wandering around on its own. Physically and mentally traumatized, the DSWT immediately flew him to safety and nursed him back to health at their nursery based in Nairobi National Park.
He has since been introduced to a new herd, made up of other orphaned elephants, where he is benefitting from the care and comfort of older females and his new best friend, Luggard.
"Hand rearing an orphaned elephant is no small feat – it can take up to a decade for an orphan to reintegrate back into the wild, and during the early years, they require round the clock care and lots and lots of milk at our Nursery which acts as a pre-school for orphaned elephants!
Sattao has a long way to go before he will return back to the wild, but when he does, he'll join more than 100 orphaned elephants that have made the leap. Without intervention, these orphans stood no chance of survival – now, they're part of a new generation of elephants roaming wild and free as they should, all the while protected by our Anti-Poaching and Aerial Surveillance operations, in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service."
– Rob Brandford, Executive Director of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (UK).
You can watch Sattao's rescue and follow his heartwarming story here–and if you'd like to foster this adorable bull, simply get in touch with DSWT.
How the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is helping protect the elephant population
The Orphan's Project was set up to provide hope for the future of Kenya's elephant and rhino populations, which are constantly fighting against ivory poachers and the loss of their homes because of human population pressures and conflict, deforestation and drought.
The DSWT strives to provide these animals with the love and support they need to enjoy a happy life back in the wild when fully grown. So far they have hand-raised more than 200 infant elephants and reintegrated more than 100 orphans back into the wild, with many having gone on to give birth to calves of their own.
#WorldElephantDay–raising awareness of the problems
World Elephant Day on August 12th is raising awareness of the threats affecting elephants like Sattao in Kenya and highlighting problems other animals are facing in parts of Africa and Asia. It's estimated that every day up to 100 African elephants die as a result of illegal ivory trade and the loss of homes and food is increasingly putting many more at risk. Soon these beautiful, keystone creatures could become extinct.
There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference.
You can help protect more elephants like Sattao by donating to the DWST or by fostering one of the baby elephants in their orphanage. Learn more about how to offer support by visiting their website.
Through the World Elephant Day website you'll also find more information about the issues facing elephant populations around the world and how you can get involved. Here you can access a host of associated charities which need your support.
Your donations and efforts will go towards building communities to help tackle the issues and bringing together organisations such as governments, media companies and charities to enable new laws and legislation to be passed. One body cannot do this alone–only though collaborating across borders can we really make a change.

During their time at the Kisling NCO Academy, it is important for students to know they will have the opportunity to wear ALL standard Air Force-issued uniforms. These uniforms include the service dress uniform, service uniform, and the ABU/OCP and PT uniform. Students should ensure their uniforms are clean, serviceable and adhere to the guidelines specified in AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel. Additionally, uniform inspections will be indicated on class schedules. Students must wear all badges and ribbons for service dress and service uniforms. Ties/Tabs are mandatory. Leadership may make changes to the UOD based on mission requirements or weather constraints.
Once entered into a resident Enlisted Professional Military Education program, students must understand attendance is mandatory and designed to prepare them to assume more responsibility as they achieve greater rank. In order to achieve success, students must be actively engaged in the learning process, adhere to class schedule attendance requirements and engage in the learning process by completing all homework, objectives, performance and remediation assignments on time. Students will not be excused for routine appointments, ceremonies or unit functions during duty hours. Routine appointments whether personal or medical must be rescheduled prior to Day 1 or after graduation. In class, students will listen actively, think critically and willingly discuss lesson principles in class. They must also practice and complete curriculum requirements while also participating in group activities. It is incumbent upon the student to put forth the effort necessary to achieve all learning objectives. This effort will lead to mastery of EPME curriculum material and ultimately to success as an Air Force NCO and future Senior NCO.
Note: In accordance with AFI 36-2903, 10.4.6. When performing special duties or attending professional military education, wear primary AFSC occupational badge.
NOTE: During the winter months, Nov. 1 - Feb. 28, the fleece/gortex will be worn during reveille and retreat ceremonies.


SEATTLE – The Seattle Sonics today announced the opening of a new fundraising initiative to support the organization's season-long hurricane relief efforts. Called "Jerseys off our Backs," the Sonics will invite fans to bid on authentic, game-worn jerseys from Sonics players at a silent auction on the concourse level during the game. The winning bidder will be escorted to the player tunnel following the game to receive the player's jersey.
The "Jerseys off our Backs" initiative tips off today as the Sonics host the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in a 12:30 p.m. matinee at KeyArena. Ray Allen's jersey will be on the auction block today, with other Sonics jerseys available for bidding at select games throughout the remainder of the season. All auction proceeds will benefit the Sonics & Storm T.E.A.M. Foundation's hurricane relief efforts.
The mission of the Sonics & Storm T.E.A.M. Foundation is to support community programs that Teach, Encourage And Motivate children, young adults and families in Washington state. T.E.A.M. seeks to enrich communities by supporting educational and athletic initiatives with an emphasis on basketball. Sonics & Storm players, coaches and staff work through the foundation to support initiatives such as NeighborHoops, which refurbishes community basketball courts, as well as student scholarships and wheelchair basketball. For additional information on the Sonics & Storm T.E.A.M. Foundation and the charities it serves, log on to supersonics.com or storm.wnba.com.
The Seattle Sonics & Storm manages the Puget Sound region's professional basketball franchises – the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics and the WNBA's Seattle Storm. The organization oversees all sales, marketing, finance, public relations and basketball operations for the teams. The Basketball Club of Seattle LLC owns both teams.


Google organized the web, Facebook our social networks; what does Plus do?
I see the Google press machine has been switched on as the company pursues the Facebook social-networking market with Plus. Google, I'm betting, must hope that history will repeat itself. It wasn't the first search engine, it simply did it better. Plus, in Googleland, it is a better proverbial mousetrap than Facebook.
I might have been on Google's case in the last few years, though I should remind folks that if they didn't keep painting big red targets on all their properties, after drawing attention to the company through incompetent support people, I would have no complaints.
Maybe it's the anti-Google blinkers I don, but I've been thinking about something Stowe Boyd said recently. He recently blogged that Google succeeded with the original search engine because, at that time, someone needed to step in and organize the web. I've been around long enough to recall just what a revelation it was when it came out. And it's the best organizer, according to Stowe, that can earn a few bob.
Facebook was certainly not the first social network, to use the modern terminology, but it did things better than Bebo and the like. It had a wider targeted audience than LinkedIn, even if it started with a narrower one at Harvard. Facebook organized our social circles, so we can more easily find that tribe of 150 that we like associating with. Even for those of us with "friend" numbers in the four figures, Facebook has allowed us, quite easily, to set up different groups for them.
Above: The Google services I don't need are marked in red, though in some cases, I have to retain them due to clients or the Medinge Group. The ones that I was signed up to without my consent are marked in black, though Google Reader received a sneaky implied consent in the small print via Blogger.
Google is, instead, something that helps organize my information. I use Alerts, News and Webmaster Tools, all tied in to things that the company developed in the 1990s and early 2000s. Google does these things well. Google Translate one exception to all of this; and, of course, I have watched YouTube videos. I realize our sites carry some Doubleclick advertising—a consequence of whom our ad networks chose to deal with. (Because of that, we have been relegating those networks to a lower status.) If any of these disappeared overnight, there are substitutes.
I'm willing to bet that Stowe is right, because Google is still tied to its original offerings, where it has at least been (on the surface) respectful of user privacy. As my colleagues and I wrote in Beyond Branding, people are going to continue demanding transparency—that much is not going to change. Brands that offer it, and aren't hypocritical about it, will do better. Outside of search and a few other places, Google hasn't played nice. In fact, I even have my doubts about Google search, despite having Web History turned off.
Google Plus does not do anything new, and it does not (based solely on reviews I have read, though I do have a Plus invitation) offer greater organization beyond what I already have with Facebook. It has been introduced at a time when I already experience social-networking fatigue with both Facebook and Twitter (Tumblr is visually more stimulating and expressive for me, at the moment). Plus might be able to reignite an interest in social networking for some, especially with Facebook's declines in membership in certain countries, but I think we're on the tail end of this fad.
Question: despite all this, do I go on it? It may not be unwise, for purely commercial reasons: to consider a potential market-place. Google's marketing machine will draw some people, though my bet is that they will find their social networks are already sufficiently organized. It will last longer than the brief, early-2011 fascination with Quora, especially when it steps out of beta.
I was on LinkedIn in 2003, Facebook in 2006, Twitter and Tumblr in 2007. But this time, if I join—and it is a big if—it would be a cold, calculated, almost soulless decision. I don't, and wouldn't, trust the bastards. It might prove to have all the allure of my MySpace account. I have no desire to see another Google product in my dashboard—I still have to delete a Buzz follower five times a week, despite not having a Buzz account.
I have justifiably low expectations from this tarnished tech brand. I can just foresee contacts being visible to people who shouldn't be able to see them. We already know that Buzz and YouTube have messed up, making things visible to people that users might not have expected. I could not willingly subject friends to privacy leaks like that, and Google has demonstrated time and time again that it's as watertight as the Titanic.
Who knows? Using it might bring so many disappointments and push me over the edge, after which I'll write to clients to inform them that I can no longer be the host of Google products that they use, and close the whole bloody account. Sadly, that would include the 400 of you getting this blog through Feedburner. The silver lining, at the moment, is the faint possibility that it would encourage Facebook to be less of a closed system.
Note: Stowe actually likes Google Plus, calling it 'a giant step forwards', but for different reasons.
