Four Pitfalls of BPO
Kristin Masters • September 11, 2014
Though the practice stretches back at least to the Industrial Revolution, outsourcing was formally identified as a business strategy in 1989. That year, Eastman Kodak chose to outsource the information technology functions of his company -- a radical move, given that these processes provided the foundation of his business. Soon, however, it became obvious that Kodak was on to something. Rather than undermining his company's core competencies, outsourcing actually promoted growth.
Potential Potholes in Your BPO Journey
Now business process outsourcing (BPO) has become a staple in the corporate world. As reliance on this strategy grows, effectively managing BPO partnerships grows more intricate and complex; while outsourcing once meant labor arbitrage, now companies are using BPO for a host of more sophisticated functions. But the approach isn't without potential drawbacks:
Lack of strategic alignment: It's crucial to select a BPO partner that fully understands and appreciates your company's mission and goals. That might seem unnecessarily lofty, but your company vision factors into every in-house decision you make, from the way you treat customers on the phone, to the people you choose to hire. If you're trusting vital business functions to an outside company, then that company's employees are, by extension, your employees. This is an especially important consideration when customer-facing functions are outsourced; with call center management, for instance. If the front-line employees of your BPO provider don't share your company vision, your customer service quality could suffer.
Financial instability: It's quite common that the BPO buyer is actually much larger than the BPO provider, especially when the provider is located overseas. Thus the need to thoroughly research the provider's financial stability is quite real; you'll want to find a partner who has an excellent track record and has the financial stability to offer a stable long-term relationship. Without conducting your due diligence, you could end up hiring a fly-by-night operation that won't fulfill its obligations, leaving you with the dubious recourse of international litigation.
Difficulty of scaling or adapting: Your business is constantly evolving. Meanwhile, it's also subject to market conditions and a host of other external factors. Thus your needs may change over time; you may shift your focus in a new direction or find that it's time to scale certain business functions up or down. Unless you've considered every contingency and built it into your contract, you may face challenges with scaling your BPO functions (especially if it's time to scale down).
Additional layers of communication: Even within your organization, you have multiple "layers" of employees: the C-suite, management (which may comprise multiple layers on its own), and your front-line employees who interact with clients and customers. That doesn't even include all the members of your team who perform back-office functions. In large companies, communication already takes considerable effort. Partnering with a BPO provider adds another dimension to this whole scheme; now, you must communicate not only with your team, but also with your BPO liaison. Then you must trust your liaison to accurately convey not only the letter, but also the spirit, of your message to the BPO provider's team.
RPA: A Cutting-Edge Alternative to BPO
Robotic process automation (RPA) has emerged as a clear favorite alternative to working with a BPO provider. RPA refers to the use of a computer program to manipulate and interpret other computer applications. For example, a company might use RPA to manage CRMs, ERPs, the help desk, or claim applications. RPA can be done completely in-house, eliminating some of the pitfalls of BPO:
Complete control: Because your organization drives and delivers your automation, there's no chance for an outside party to lose sight of your company's goals and vision.
Low cost: The cost associated with designing and implementing RPA generally costs a fraction of the typical BPO contract.
Versatility and scalability: A wide variety of business processes can be completed through RPA, and it's easy to scale up or down--without ever leaving the office.
Simplified communication: Your robot requires training only once. After that, every transaction is recorded in a detailed log, so you can easily access all data at any time.
As more businesses search for desirable alternatives to the traditional BPO partnership, RPA will undoubtedly gain wider attention in the enterprise community.

Men in Black (1997)
42 continuity mistakes
Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Linda Fiorentino, Rip Torn, Tommy Lee Jones, Tony Shalhoub, Vincent D'Onofrio, Will Smith
Genres: Action, Comedy, Sci-fi
F**k Marry Kill
All mistakes 2 audio problems42 continuity mistakes2 factual errors9 other mistakes12 revealing mistakes5 visible crew/equipment mistakes Order by popularity Order chronologically Suggested corrections Significant dates Titles starting with M
Continuity mistake: Just before the diner scene, where the two aliens are discussing the galaxy, we see the outside of the Russian restaurant. The neon sign says "haroshaya" meaning "good" all the way across the window, in the next shot inside the restaurant, the "ha", which looks like the English letters "xo", is gone and the sign is centered. (00:41:00)
Continuity mistake: When J is changing in to his suit, he reaches in to the locker with his right hand and pulls out a hanger with a pair of trousers and a jacket on it. His forearm is bare and he isn't wearing a watch. Seconds later when he takes the shoes out of the locker with his left hand, his forearm is now covered by the long sleeve of a white shirt and he has a silver watch on. A few seconds later when he lays the jacket over the bench, both his forearms are bare and again he isn't wearing a watch.
Continuity mistake: When the truck gets smashed at the start, the tree beside the truck is well alight, but when the man comes out of the house, it is only a little alight. (00:12:40)
Ssiscool
Continuity mistake: When the Bug's spaceship floats over Shea Stadium and the NY Mets outfielder sees it and gets conked on the head by the fly ball, he is wearing number 23. In a later scene, when J picks up the tabloid newspapers, the photo of the ballplayer has number 20. (01:20:15 - 01:29:20)
Suggested correction: Nope. The tabloid paper says the aliens made him miss a home run, referring to the batter, not the outfielder.
Continuity mistake: When the jeweller leaves his shop, the shop window clearly shows the reflection of the parked exterminator's van. Then you see the van being driven up the cross-street as the jeweller leaves in the taxi. Then Edgar/bug parks the van, goes to the shop, and you can see the same reflection in the jewellery shop window. (00:38:35)
Continuity mistake: When the countdown timer for the destruction of Earth appears on the viewscreen, you see it count down to 59:56. There is a cut to three cast members including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones for a brief dialogue scene. When it cuts to Will Smith walking away you can see the clock still counting down on the screen in the background. Now it is showing the time of 59:54. The aforementioned dialogue section took noticeably longer than two seconds. (01:15:45)
Continuity mistake: After Will Smith holds the squid, the amount of slime on his jacket differs between the right and left shots.
Continuity mistake: In the restaurant scene, the jewel case containing the diamonds is to Mr. Rosenberg's right, but when the Arquillian asks what it is, the jewel case is to Mr. Rosenberg's left. (00:41:55)
Continuity mistake: When J and K first get in the car (the Ford POS),the windows keep switching from up to down. Interior shots Will Smith's window is up, exterior shots his window is down. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: When the UFO crashes against the ground, K's hair moves wildly in the front shot, but remains still in the angle shot from behind. (01:21:00)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole movie it is summer. Green trees with leaves, green grass, etc. After the scene where Will Smith is deciding to become a Man in Black (summer), there is a shot of the Bug Mobile driven by Edgar where it is obviously winter. A wide shot of Manhattan with steam coming out of the tops of some of the buildings, and some trees without leaves in the background (winter). Then in the next scene and those following it is back to summer. (00:31:20)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the film when "Edgar" kills the exterminator, the exterminator's truck has a small almost unnoticeable plastic roach decoration on top. Yet during the rest of the movie the roach is huge and it sticks up away from the vehicle. (00:22:30 - 00:33:20)
Continuity mistake: When the cat in on the table in the diner, the word "ORION" on the cat's collar is in normal capitalized block lettering. But when the cat is on the table in the morgue, the word "ORION" is in calligraphy. Also, the colour of the cat's collar seems to change between these two points. (00:42:40 - 01:08:15)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when K shoots Mikey, one of the cops gets covered with blue slime all over his face and hat. Watch the right side of the hat: The length of the slime differs between the front and back shots. It's more seen when the scene is about to end and the slime starts to fall down in the front shot, but stays still in the back one. (00:07:25)
Continuity mistake: When Will Smith and the other recruits are taking their written tests, the white table first appears to be situated between the second and third men from the left. When Smith goes to the table to pull it across the room, it is much further to the right of the scene. (00:24:25 - 00:26:35)
Continuity mistake: After Kay neuralizes Jay the first time, Jay 'wakes' up in a restaurant and Kay hands Jay a card. He tells him to report to that location. The address can be seen written on the back on the bottom edge of the card. Jay flips the card over to read the address and it's still on the bottom edge of the card. When flipped, the address should now be on the top edge of the card. (00:22:00)
Continuity mistake: When J is trapped by a tentacle of the alien woman in the car, the first seconds of him being dragged up and down he casts no shadow on the ground. Later on when the tentacle is extended he does cast a small shadow. (00:44:10)
Continuity mistake: When Zed sends Kay and Jay out on Kay's first mission, Reggie's unauthorised departure from Manhattan, Tommy Lee Jones legs cross and uncross from shot to shot. (00:39:25)
Continuity mistake: When the Mexican alien is running away, the whole scene is all wrong: He runs for a long time and passes by many bushes and cacti, but when K takes out his gun, the alien is just 10 meters away. Plus, from the POV angle, he passes by the cactus to the left of the guard twice. (00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: The MIB applicants are all sitting in the testing room and Zed talks about how they are all the best of the best of the best like, "Rangers, Navy SEALs, NYPD". The only sailor sitting in the room is not a SEAL, he's EOD. You can tell because he is not wearing the Special Warfare badge on his uniform, he's wearing the badge for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. (00:24:35 - 00:27:30)
More for Men in Black
Audio problem: When Will Smith is looking at the two space ships at the MIB headquarters, if you look in the background Zed and K are there typing on the computer. But if you look closer you can tell that they're not even touching the keyboard and the sounds are just added into the movie. (01:16:00)
More mistakes in Men in Black
Large cop: If you were half the man I am... [Jay looks pointedly at policeman's stomach] I am half the man you are!
More quotes from Men in Black
Trivia: At the end of the credits, instead of the usual "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie", the words "no aliens were harmed in the making of this movie" appear. (01:37:20)

More trivia for Men in Black
Question: When K and J are about to leave the police station, J says that he has a report to do. At that moment, his boss arrives and tells him he did a good report. Who did his report? It couldn't have been the MIB, because J was the only person who saw the entire chase.
Answer: The MIB - or K specifically - had already erased the memories of all the police that were involved to cover up the alien sighting. It stands to reason therefore that theyd already have a cover story in place - that is the report that the captain is reading, and for which he congratualtes J.

Why won't the CIA admit it tortured detainees?
We talk to ex-CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden, and ask Bangladesh's deputy FM if the country has an ISIL problem.
United States: Democracy or oligarchy?
Does Bangladesh have an ISIL problem?
Where does the US draw the line on what some consider torture?
In this episode of UpFront, we speak to former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden. In the Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan examines how money and racism undermine US democracy. And in a special interview, we ask Bangladesh's state minister for foreign affairs if the country has an ISIL problem.
When the executive summary of a 6,700-page US Senate Intelligence report on CIA interrogation techniques was released last year, many in the US and around the world expressed outrage.
The 500-page summary highlighted how CIA interrogation practices under the George W Bush administration were "brutal and far worse than the CIA represented to policymakers and others". As federal judges decide whether to declassify the full report, did the CIA break the law in terms of torture?
In this week's Headliner, Mehdi Hasan speaks to General Michael Hayden, former CIA director and author of Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror. Hayden discusses the CIA's use of "aggressive" interrogation methods and defends the US drone programme.
Watch more from Mehdi Hasan's interview with Michael Hayden in which they discuss Edward Snowden and the NSA's mass surveillance programme.
The United States is often described as the "greatest democracy" in the world, but when one looks at where the US stands on press freedom, campaign finance and recent restrictions on voting rights, some suggest the country might be more of an oligarchy.
In this week's Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan examines how money and racism undermine US democracy.
In recent months, Bangladesh has seen a surge in attacks claimed by ISIL. As authorities try to tackle the growing domestic threat, does the country have an ISIL problem?
And, after several bloggers inside the country were hacked to death for expressing secular views, what is the future of democracy and human rights in the country? In a special interview, Mehdi Hasan speaks to Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam who defends the country's young democracy.
Editor's note: This interview was conducted prior to the latest developments in Bangladesh.
Victims of the CIA's brutal interrogation programme speak out about torture and its effect on their lives.
Michael Hayden also believes Hillary Clinton's emails may have been hacked.

FREDERICK III., THE PIOUS: Elector of the Palatinate; b. at Simmern (26 m. s.w. of Coblenz) Feb. 14, 1515; d. Oct. 26, 1576. He was strictly educated in the Roman faith at his father's court and at Cologne, but, influenced by his wife, the pious princess Maria of Brandenburg, whom he married in 1537, he followed the Reformation, and in 1546 made a public profession of his faith. He succeeded his father as duke of Simmern, May 18, 1557, and became elector Feb. 12, 1559, on the death of Otto Henry. Under his predecessor strict Lutherans like Tilemenn Hesshusen, Melanchthonians, and Calvinists had found a place in the Palatinate. In the summer of 1559 bitter controversies arose among them. Theses on the Lord's Supper prepared by the Heidelberg deacon Klebitz provoked a bitter controversy between him and Hesshusen. When efforts at mediation failed Frederick deposed both, Sept. 16. To get a clear understanding of the controversy Frederick spent days and nights in theological studies and was thus led more and more to the Reformed confession. A disputation held in June, 1560, between the Saxon theologians Stössel and Mörlin and the Heidelberg Boquin, Erast, and Einhorn increased Frederick's dislike for the Lutheran zealots. After the Naumburg Convention (Jan., 1561; see Naumburg Convention) Frederick fully adopted the Reformed dogmas. In March, 1561, he called Emmanuel Tremellius, and in September the famous Zacharias Urainus, to Heidelberg. The whole Church was now transformed. Caspar Olevianus had been there since Jan., 1560. Images of the saints, vestments, baptismal fonts, and other "idolatrous works," even organs, were ruthlessly removed from the churches. In the celebration of the Lord's Supper the breaking of bread was
introduced. The revenues from monasteries and foundations were confiscated and applied to Evangelical church purposes or charity. The Heidelberg catechism prepared by Ursinus and Olevianus now served as the norm of doctrine and for the instruction of the youth. The church-order of Nov. 15, 1563, and the consistory order of 1564 closed the changes. The opposition of ministers inclining to Lutheranism was suppressed by their dismission. Among the Lutherans Frederick's measures caused a great sensation. The religious colloquy held at Maulbronn, Apr., 1564 (see Maulbronn) increased the animosity. In 1565 the Emperor Maximilian ordered to annul the changes made. A unanimous decree of the diet held at Augsburg in 1566 also demanded the abolition of the changes. Frederick, however, declared in a session of the diet, May 14, that a matter was concerned over which God alone has the rule, and if it was intended to proceed against him, he would find comfort in the promises of his Savior. The decree was not carried out. After completing the work of reform in the Rhine Palatinate Frederick endeavored to continue it in the Upper Palatinate; but here he was resisted by the zealous Lutheran estates. He continued his work of reform on the Rhine by introducing in 1570 a strict church discipline. A stain on Frederick's life is the sentence of death which he pronounced on the antitrinitarian Johannes Silvanus based on the opinion signed by Olevianus, Ursinus, and Boquin, and which he had executed after long hesitation, Dec: 23, 1572. In other matters he was an excellent, intelligent, truly pious ruler, who wished to promote the welfare of his people in every way. With the Reformed abroad he had intimate connections. In 1562 he gave Frankenthal for a refuge to the Evangelicals driven from the Netherlands. His like-minded son John Casimir he sent in 1567 and again in 1576 to France in aid of the Huguenots. In 1569 he assisted also the Count Palatine Wolfgang on his way to France. His last years were troubled by domestic afflictions. As his older son Louis was a strict Lutheran, he could not hope that after his death his work would be cairied out in his own spirit.

He said the only certainty about the rotation is two-time All-Star point guard Kemba Walker is a starter. He won't commit to anything else until he tests different player combinations in practices and preseason exhibitions. Borrego said this roster's strength is at the offensive end. He wants to play at a faster tempo than the Hornets previously did under coach Steve Clifford.
Clifford was criticized by a segment of the fan base for not playing rookie Malik Monk, the 11th overall pick, more in the first half of last season. Borrego's approach sounded similar to Clifford's in that regard.
Borrego and general manager Mitch Kupchak have said they aspire to be a playoff team. The way the off-season has gone in the NBA, there probably won't be a big difference in talent between the Eastern Conference's sixth- through 10th-best teams, with the top eight qualifying for the playoffs.
Borrego believes there will be chances to put young players in situations that test and educate them.
"Along the way, through 82 games, there are plenty of opportunities to put Devonte in the lineup or to put Monk (in the rotation), to play Bridges on a night after he sat four in a row.
Look for Borrego to send young players to the Hornets' G-League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, plenty this season when the schedule accommodates, to play games when they are not in the rotation. That's why it's key that new Swarm coach Joe Wolf is intimate with Borrego's systems and terminology.
Borrego said he doesn't think inside-out basketball that relies heavily on post-ups is particularly efficient in the current NBA. (more evidence why center Dwight Howard was traded). He likes that the Hornets have several players with the skill set to drive to the basket (Walker, Monk, Jeremy Lamb and Bridges, for instance) and force defenses to react.
"I like the versatility of our group: MKG (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist), Bridges, (Jeremy) Lamb, Marvin (Williams) and (Dwayne) Bacon to an extent and Nic Batum. They can play multiple positions and guard multiple positions," Borrego said.
Borrego said veteran point guard Parker is a Spur for life, that the Hornets are just "borrowing him" at the end of his career.
Borrego said Parker reached out to the Hornets to express interest in possibly signing here, in part looking for more of an on-court role than he might have had re-signing with the Spurs. Entering his 18th NBA season, Parker will be Walker's primary backup.
Borrego said he's thrilled with how many players spent much of the summer in Charlotte, which helped his transition and hopefully gives this team a running start going into training camp.

Q: SplitViewController query In an Universal Application, what happens if I use platform specific features like Popover, SplitViewController for iPad, without checking the device using
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)

method. Will the Application crash if it is running in iPhone?

A: Answering your question: yes, it will. Specific controllers only work in specific environments (who would have guessed...) You can also avoid that kind of code if(IS_iPAD()){//Do something}.
The error it would produce:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UIPopoverController initWithContentViewController:] called when not running under UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad.'

Letters I Haven't Written, the seventh album by British singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert, was released on 12 October 2018. It was produced at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and, like Herbert's previous album The Sea Cabinet, was crowdfunded. The songs on the album, all written by Herbert, have been described as "exquisitely crafted". On the subjects of "love, gratitude and protest", they are about the lost art of letterwriting. Reviewing the album for Jazzwise magazine, Peter Quinn said that "Letters I Haven't Written is by turns moving, thrilling and entrancing".

Music from the album was previewed in a touring show which Herbert and her band performed at UK venues in 2017.

Production
The album cover features artwork by Julia Andrews-Clifford and a photograph of Herbert by Ian Wallman.

Track listing
 "Fishing for Squirrels" (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "More of Everything" (Gwyneth Herbert)

 "You're Welcome" (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "Until the Dust Settles" (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "Tick Tock TICK" (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "Don't Call Me That" (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "And You Are..." (Gwyneth Herbert)
 "Not the Kind of Girl" (Gwyneth Herbert)

Songs
Herbert wrote "Not the Kind of Girl" for a screening, in 2010, of Marion Davies' 1928 silent comedy classic The Patsy, at BFI Southbank's Birds Eye View Film Festival. Ian Shaw covered the song on his 2017 album Shine Sister Shine.

"You're Welcome" was inspired by the journey of the Windrush generation, the early migrants from the Caribbean who settled in the UK. It was released as a single in September 2018.

Selfridge Air National Guard Base (SANG) is one of the oldest military air fields in the United States. It is located in the Township of Harrison, County of Macomb and is situated on prime Lake St. Clair property. Approximately 6000 air and army national guard, as well as civilian employees, are employed and/or housed at the SANG base. There are numerous units assigned to SANG including the 127th Wing (Michigan Air National Guard), customs and border protection and the Coast Guard.
There are many SANG military personnel who are married, live on or off base, and are residents of a state other than Michigan. Our attorneys have represented SANG military personnel for numerous legal matters including drinking offenses (drinking and driving), domestic violence, assault crimes, drug crimes and retail fraud (shoplifting). Anyone in the military who is charged with a criminal offense faces special circumstances which we are prepared to defend. We understand that when a military person (reserved or enlisted) gets into trouble, he or she faces possible rank demotion, loss of security clearance and/or dishonorable discharge from military service upon conviction for a criminal offense.
When a military person becomes a client of our firm, we are aware of their special needs and potential consequences. Certain convictions may be detrimental to a military career. There are other ramifications such as travel restrictions and possible incarceration. When a drinking a driving (DUI or OWI) is charged, the issue may be less compelling and only involve the driver license sanctions for a non-resident. Our job is to identify the needs of our military clients and address these particular needs and concerns. For example, a recent client who was charged with domestic violence needed permission to travel out of the state and the country. The case was resolved favorably whereby the case will be deferred and dismissed after a period of probation. The Judge also granted permission for our client to travel out of state and out of the county.
Our goal is always to avoid a conviction or seek a result that will not jeopardize our client's future with the military. Our results include cases which are dismissed, reduced or dismissed after a period of advisement. Unfortunately, drinking and driving cases are rarely dismissed outright. However, we are usually able to have the charges reduced, avoid jail and obtain permission to travel upon transfer or deployment.
Our firm approaches criminal cases involving military personnel quietly, discreetly and with diplomacy. Fortunately, I have found the prosecutor's, law enforcement and the courts in Macomb County to be sensitive to those that are serving their country.


HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities in the Houston area say a pizza delivery driver was shot and killed as he returned to his car after delivering a pizza at an apartment complex.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office says the shooting occurred Thursday evening at a complex in northern Harris County and involved two suspects who were seen running from the parking lot.
The driver, who worked for Papa John's Pizza, has not been identified. KTRK-TV in Houston reports that he was 45 years old.
He was found on the ground between two cars.
Authorities say the person who ordered the pizza is not considered a suspect and it wasn't immediately clear if robbery was a motive in the shooting.
Investigators are checking surveillance cameras in an effort to identify the suspects.

On day 3 of our trip, we were still in Christchurch. After the Aquarium the day before, we hadn't found anything else to do, so we went back to the hotel in the early evening and ordered room service. It was yummy albeit pricey.
Next day we slept in again (hey - don't judge - we're on vacation!!), and after breakfast headed back into town again. Our plan for the day was to go the Antarctic Centre near the airport. There are heaps of shuttles in Cathedral Square that go to all of the attractions around Christchurch, just to the Antarctic Centre or just to the airport. We weren't sure of the best one, so we picked the Antarctic Centre specific shuttle (it had penguins on the top of the bus!).
Sad to say, the Antarctic Centre wasn't quite worth the price of admission. The best part for me was seeing the little blue penguins (even though most of them are crippled) and for Darren, was a ride in the Hagglund.
A little slide made of real ice!
A little cave to shelter from the storm.
We then followed the penguin tracks to go see the Little Blue Penguins.
It was a bit too crowded to see the feeding, but we stuck around for a while and shot some video of the penguins hanging out. All the penguins at the Antarctic Centre have been rescued from one situation or another - a few were hit by boat propellers, others tangled with someone's pet. Each of them can be idenitifed by the colored bands on their flippers- there is a sign on the wall that lists all the colored bands and explains the story of each penguin.
The noose above the penguins is a little disturbing - what is it there for?!?
After we read every poster, print and placard in the Antarctic Centre, we headed back to town (mainly because we couldn't figure out how to get to the Orana Wildlife Centre). It was only around 4pm or so, and we weren't hungry for dinner yet. We were kinda bored, so we jumped on the Science Alive!, but it was closed. Too bad! It looks like it would have been fun.
Finally, we decided to just park it at a pub/bar and get some beer/food. We first went to an "Irish" pub called The Bard, which is adorable. As soon as Darren saw the bartender (incorrectly) pour a (watered-down) Guinness, though, we were out of there! Just a couple blocks away was our second choice - The Bog. We really liked the atmosphere here, too, and decided to stay as soon as the bartender said "we have the REAL Guinness here". Apparently he knew how to pour one too.
The food was really good as well - to start, we had a tall garlic loaf drizzled with sweet chili sauce. Oh. My. God! Seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten! And perhaps the best (and only!) reason to return to Christchurch. Yum!
The videos won't load... I WANNA SEE THE PENGUINS!!
Were any of the little penguins crushed by the hagglund? It was going pretty fast! I bet if you aimed it right, you could take out fifteen or twenty of them at a time -- just level them!
* note: the author of this comment actually thinks that the little penguins are incredibly adorable.


Place a hibiscus flower and some syrup (it's sweet, so gear it to your taste) in the bottom of a glass. Place ice, vodka (2 parts) and St. Germaine (1 part) in a shaker. Shake and strain over a glass. Top with Champagne.


What are the implications of delisting a company from exchange? What are the risks associated?
There are few foreign companies that have their clones in India like AstraZeneca, ABB, Honeywell Automation, etc… when these companies delisted (could be of any reason, merging with other, exiting from India, etc… (I don't mean the situation of bankruptcy)), how can retail traders encash their shares?
Looking for more information on the subject from experts.
P.S.: The company names are for example only. There are about 29 such companies.
Friends, I am buying equity shares of almost all delisted company's equity shares, Kindly contact if anyone want to sell it.
Dear Matter, before getting delisted, such cos. 'll offer exit route for retail investors. It's advisable to use that opportunity. If your query intends for post delisting status, my dear friend, you can't do much in this case.

By CuteUsername on Fri, 11/04/2022 - 12:20am.
It's a pretty good rule of thumb to never walk along train tracks even if you think it's safe, but I don't really see this as so obviously stupid as to invite mockery. It seems like an area where people might not appreciate the danger. Capen St is a weird little station and looking at Google Maps it looks like around the station there's room to the side of tracks, although it also looks like that narrows as you move further down.
By johnmcboston on Sat, 11/05/2022 - 11:57am.
To say what the original poster said a little better. If this guy was walking down the middle of 93 and got hit by a car, everyone would call him - irresponsible. But when someone walks on train tracks and gets hit by a train, it's always the big bad train that hit this poor person.

Home News M.D. voters re-elect Kerik
M.D. voters re-elect Kerik
October 24, 2017 · by	Admin2017 ·
Council now has two women
Joe McWilliams
The big showdown for the reeve's chair on M.D. of Lesser Slave River council turned out to be not so close after all. Voters returned Murray Kerik for his second term as reeve with a solid majority over Mike Skrynyk. The vote total was 571 for Kerik and 428 for Skrynyk. In terms of percentage of the vote, Kerik got 57 per cent of the 999 votes cast for reeve.
As far as council goes, "we've got two-and-a-half new faces," Kerik quips. The 'half' new face is Jeff Commins in Div. II, who returns to council after one term off. He joins incumbents Brian Rosche and Brad Pearson as the Div. II councillors. In Div. I, newcomers Sandra Melzer and Becky Peiffer join incumbent Robert Esau on council. Esau nipped fellow incumbent Darren Fulmore by two votes! Incumbent Garry Horton finished a distant fifth in the Div. I vote. Melzer proved the predictions correct (or rather the voters proved it) when she won easily with the most votes in Div. I. Peiffer came second and Esau third, by a nose.
In Div. II, Brian Rosche was the top vote-getter, with 406; Pearson was second with 389 and Commins got 289.
"Pleased and grateful to the community," was Commins' reaction to his election. "And a little scared with some of the challenges coming up this term!"
Out of the running were first-timers Munir Mughal and Charlotte Measor.
Reached the day after the election, Kerik was upbeat about the new term, which as he sees it contain three major challenges.
"We've got the two agreements with the Town of Slave Lake," he says. "And the zoning issues in Poplar Lane."
The first two of those became hot-button issues late in the election campaign, when it was learned (and reported in this newspaper) that the M.D. had decided to reduce its share of the cost of running rec facilities in Slave Lake and of fire services. The town reacted strongly, raising the spectre of a once-friendly relationship going off the rails. There will be a lot of details on those agreements coming out in the next while and we will deal with them in separate stories. For now, the newly-elected reeve is feeling fairly confident about the prospects.
"It's nothing that can't be solved," he says. "I'm looking forward to getting our agreements finalized with the town and finished up so we can move forward and be happy again."
Esau agrees: "Somewhere in the middle is an acceptable compromise," he says.
The zoning issue has to do with the conflicts between 'country residential' people (mainly in the Poplar Lane area) and the so-called 'owner/operator' residents who maintain trucks and such on their lots.
"We have to get it figured out," says Kerik.
Getting it figured out might be possible, but certainly won't be easy, or it would have been done long ago. But Kerik makes it plain he's not in favour of making life too difficult for the truck owners.
Asked to comment on the election results, Kerik says he's pleased to see two women joining the council and looks forward to working with them and the other successful candidates.
"I think we're going to have a busy year," he says.
Melzer, one of the rookies, is pleased with the result.
"It was very nice to have that kind of support," she says. "I'm looking forward to getting going and representing the ratepayers."
Peiffer, the other newbie on the scene, says she's "pleasantly surprised and very grateful for the support." She figures it'll be "a huge learning curve. I just want to be a strong advocate for my supporters."
Melzer, Peiffer and the other successful candidates will meet this Wednesday to be sworn in, after which they'll participate in their first organizational meeting.
The turnout for the election was relatively high – likely helped by the battle at the top. The turnout percentage isn't known because no figure has been provided for eligible voters. But 1,027 voters in a population of 3,000 seems decent. In the 2013 election, the voter turnout was 805.

Co-operative bank members need to better manage employee competence and behaviour
Written by Mary Clarke on 9 June 2014 in Opinion
Assessments that examine employees' behaviour and likely decision making should be part and parcel of working life, Mary Clarke says
The Co-op bank was once revered for its ethical policies and low risk behaviour, when other banks were in crisis. However, following its near collapse last year, with losses of £2.5bn and the scandal surrounding its former chairman, Reverend Paul Flowers, the bank has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
In recent months, two independent reviews investigating the bank's troubles were published, which highlighted a catalogue of problems. Sir Christopher Kelly, chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life released the 'Kelly Review' in April, and Lord Myners' 'Independent Review of Governance' followed in May. The Kelly Review found that the bank had been run by unqualified executives, who had an "overly casual" approach to regulators, little grasp of risk and a tendency to turn a blind eye to growing problems despite the financial crisis. The report said that the group's board failed to ensure that the Co-operative Bank consistently lived up to its ethical principles.
Lord Myners, former Treasury Minister and a former board director at the bank, agreed. He also went one step further labelling the board as "manifestly dysfunctional" and claiming its members lacked business experience. Myners' proposals for reforms included the need to replace Co-op's 21-strong board of representatives with a slimmed-down structure of professionally trained directors, and the creation of a new 50-strong National Membership committee to provide oversight of the top body.
One of the key challenges for the bank going forward is to get the recruitment of the new board members right, something which the bank has failed to do in the past.
In April 2010, the appointment of Reverend Paul Flowers as chairman of the Co-op bank was widely criticised because of his inexperience in banking. Mr Flowers was a man with limited banking experience and in a previous role as a trustee of the drugs charity Lifeline, he resigned in 2004 after allegedly filing false expenses claims. In May last year, the Co-op bank was found to have a £1.5bn black hole in its finances, which led to Flowers stepping down.
With a dubious track record and limited experience, why was Flowers appointed chairman of the sector's 'most ethical' bank in 2010? Equally, how has it gone unchecked that board members at Co-op bank lacked business experience?
Reputation is one of the most prized and most vulnerable of corporate assets. Reputational damage caused by people is something the banking sector as a whole needs to address. Errant human behaviour contributed to the banking crisis, and it appears that the Co-op succumbed to the same culture that allowed incompetent behaviour to go unchecked for years.
Urgent reforms are now needed at the Co-op Bank, but surely a priority must be to overhaul the recruitment process immediately and assess all current employees to ensure they are not just competent and behave in a way that adheres to the ethical standards and policies of the bank. Stamping out risky behaviour and introducing better ways of managing competence from the top down is vital. However, to deliver this kind of change, the bank needs to have a better understanding of the competence, knowledge and experience of its employees, as well as how they actually behave at work. Such insight will also enable the bank to uncover their specific training needs and also expose any risky behaviour and attitudes.
Ensuring people demonstrate the right behaviours consistently means investment, but organisations that get this right can reduce their risks. They are able to spot problems ahead of time and clamp down on risky behaviour and decision making. Assessments that examine employees' behaviour and likely decision making should be part and parcel of working life – allowing managers to identify and address risky behaviour and deal with it ahead of time.
Assessing 'people risk' needs to be part of the recruitment process and continuously monitored during employment, if it is to be truly effective. While, Co-op obviously made an error recruiting Paul Flowers, with adequate assessments in place for everyone, including the senior management team, his incompetence would have been uncovered sooner, averting a crisis.
To recover from this crisis, the Co-op bank clearly has a long road ahead but upholding its values is crucial and this can only be achieved if its people are competent and behave in the right way.
People risk is an area that so far has received relatively little attention. Yet people represent the biggest cause of operational risk and the Co-op needs to know which employees are unlikely to follow the organisation's procedures, practices and/or rules. They can mitigate 'people risk' if they adopt a more holistic view to addressing it. They just need to ensure that their risk culture aligns their overall mindset and expectations with the individual competencies, attitudes and motivation of their employees.

Keep up with the adventures of Nature's Artistry as we travel the East Coast and beyond!
Arriving by long-tail boat at this isolated pearl farm in Thailand is an adventure in itself. Be careful not to make any sudden moves, or better yet, don't move at all or you will end up in the sea. My guide, the captain, and I head out into the azure waters for an island of anchored rafts where the oysters grow. The January sun is blisteringly hot, the sea a tepid 82-84F.
The tour begins with a detailed explanation of the variety of predators and parasites that attack oysters. There are several species of mollusk raised here, along with a few species of farm friendly fish and a hybrid seaweed. I am then introduced to the laboratory where baby oysters are nurtured until they have a chance of survival in the rigors of the bay.

Topic: Weekly Deals: Good or bad idea?
I was wondering. Do you think having weekly discounts/price drops would benefit or harm Nintendo in the long run? I thought everyone would be for them, but it seems not, so I'd like to get some responses.
I think they should still do them.It probably boosted their sells quite a bit but there has to be a reason they quit.Heck I wouldn't care if they just did it once a month.
I'd love some discounted eshop games. I never buy anything on Steam unless it's on sale.
However, Steam has a gigantic user base and Valve brings in a ton of revenue from it. Everyone has Steam and is familiar with it. I don't know how many people use the eshop but it probably isn't enough yet to really motivate Nintendo to have sales or discounted prices.
I think it's a great idea! I got Colours! 3D last week and Speedthru: Potzol's Puzzle this week during Europe's weekly sales, and i'm loving them!
...Precisely what the hell are you talking about?
They had those in Australia?
Exactly the opposite. Discounting games and actually spending some money on marketing the fact that there are sales will probably bring in a lot of people. - this is the whole point of sales, to get customers to your store. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would investigate further if they received spotpass notifications letting them know that there are some decent games on sale.
There are two important things in selling: marketing and price. Enough said.
UK recently had some sales I believe.
Maybe. If the sales are well-marketed then yes, that should bring in a lot of people. That could be a problem though. The only way to notify people without having them visit the store is via spotpass. And I'm not sure that spotpass messages are going to create a lot of buzz. Compare that to Steam, where I sign on to Steam every single day and see what the deals are on the front page. I doubt most people go to the eshop everyday to see what's new.
Except you'll bring more people in with lower prices, as people stated.
Weekly sales are a bit like game demos: I am pretty sure a lot of people will give some games they are hesitant towards a chance if they found it cheap, so they can be a good chance to help some games to improve their sales.
Also, if they kept a weekly sale, it would not be necessary to advertise it all the time since people would eventually know they are always there and go to the shop every week, similar to the Club Nintendo game rewards in the US and Canada, to see what is the discounted game(s) for that week.


I recently had the requirement to refresh the Windows desktop after certain changes had been made to Explorer's registry entries. This seems simple at first: klick on any item on the desktop and then press F5. It wasn't, though. The registry changes would be made upon logon by a software installation agent. It was expected by the customer that the end user see the the effects of the change immediately without any user intervention. That sent me hunting for a solution on the internet. I came across many forum posts that showed that many others already had exactly the same requirement. Interestingly, none of the proposed solutions actually worked. Except for one, which I found at last.
Implementing this in a script was a no-brainer. What gave me a headache was this: how to convince Explorer to reread it's registry entries and actually display the thing without prompting the user to log off and on again.
SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED is, by the way, defined as 0x8000000.
This effectively triggers a refresh of the desktop. And voilà, the IE icon appears.
I suspect that this correct solution to the problem is so seldom mentioned on the internet because few people know how to operate a compiler. That is unfortunate and cannot be remedied by me. What I can do is provide a simple command line program that does nothing but call SHChangeNotify with the parameters quoted above.
DesktopRefresh.exe has been tested on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. It should work on any Windows OS from NT 4.0 upward.
DesktopRefresh, 1.0, x86 (recommended for most).
Nice tool, can be useful indeed!
Very nice solution! I think it's usefull for nearly every environment.
The result was an instant update of the user's wallpaper.
Perhaps you could try it and see if it works?
updates certain settings, like the wallpaper, for example. However, it does not work for the IE icon example I mentioned in the article.
The x86 and x64 download links have the same URL!
Sorry, it is fixed now.

HMS J6 was a First World War J-class submarine built for the Royal Navy by HM Dockyard at Devonport in Plymouth. Commissioned in 1916, she was sunk in a friendly fire incident by the Q-ship Cymric in October 1918.

Career
Under her first commanding officer, Max Horton, J6 was launched on 9 September 1915 and commissioned on 25 January 1916. She and the other Js were members of the 11th Submarine Flotilla. She served in the North Sea chiefly in operations against German destroyers and U-boats. The closest she got to sinking the enemy was firing a torpedo at U-61, but it missed its target.

On 1 December 1917 Horton was replaced as commanding officer of J6 by Lieutenant Commander Geoffrey Warburton.  In April 1918, Warburton spotted the German High Seas Fleet which had put to sea in an attempt to hunt down an Allied convoy.  Warburton did not identify the fleet as German and did not report his sighting to the Admiralty, had he done so it is possible that another full scale naval battle may have occurred.

Loss

On 15 October 1918 J6 was on patrol off the Northumberland coast when she was spotted by the Q-ship Cymric.  The captain of the Cymric Lieutenant F Peterson RNR mistook the identity lettering on the conning tower of J6 for U6.  Assuming U6 to indicate a German U-boat, Peterson raised the White ensign and opened fire on J6.Cymric opened fire, J6 tried to signal, but the signalman was killed. J6 fled into a fog bank, but Cymric located J6 again, and sank her. After a number of direct hits, J6 sank.  It was only after the survivors were seen in the water that Peterson and the crew of Cymric realised their mistake and recovered the survivors.  Of the crew of J6, 15 were lost; a subsequent court of enquiry found that no action should be taken against Peterson. An order under the Official Secrets Act prohibited mention of this incident until 1969.

Late in 2011 it was announced that divers had discovered her wreck off Seahouses. In the summer of 2013, the Polish Navy salvage ship ORP Lech, searching for the wreck of the Polish submarine ORP Orzeł, surveyed and officially confirmed an identity of J6.

What descriptor do you use to describe the people who work in your organisation? Employees, workers, staff, group, team, family? Or do you stick with the literal, neutral term and call them – people?
The other reason is one of hierarchy. One of the pleasures of being in a functional family is everybody knows their place. Who is in charge, where we all go for Christmas, who makes key decisions etc. That's why the opposite of a functional family is so awful; when families fight for position, try to usurp someone's position, not make allowances for a tradition that has become the norm. This kind of ritualised behaviour in organisations can be really dangerous.
Interests – People who engage in similar work with similar skills and expertise. People who work with the same customers and get passionate about the same products and who want to achieve similar standards of excellence.
Belonging – Shared corporate values a common vision and some close personal relationships.
Membership of this community is highly conditional. There are standards of performance and behaviour that are non- negotiable, people are allowed in but it takes a while for them to become fully accepted. The community will fight to support someone who remains true to the community ethos but will expel people who let the community down.
How credible would you sound in describing (in an organisational-wide session) that we are a community?

I´m exploring Apache Hadoop at the moment. This looks like a really interesting technology. What´s Hadoop? Hmm ... to explain it in a really simplified manner: It´s a distributed, highly available datastore. Okay ... yawn ... no big deal so far.
But there is an interesting twist in Hadoop. Let´s assume you have vast amounts of log files. A pile of data in the size of multiple Terabytes. You want to know the URLs of the Top-10 pages of your website.
The standard old-school approach to this problem is: Starting an analyser on a big server which gathers all data via block or file based protocols to this analysing server. Of course this approach has several bottlenecks: The size of the network pipes, the amount of computing power in a single box, the amount of IOPS in a single server, the amount of IOPS of a single storage attached to the server, the amount of memory in a single server.
But now think in HPC terms about this problem: You could divide this task in several ones. Let´s assume 64 MB shards. You could compute the result for each of the shards on a seperate node. To stay in our example: This step print outs the pageviews of any URL in it´s shard. This fragments of the final result are collected and reduced to the final result: For example by adding the pageviews of a URL from every shard. By using the concepts you you seperate the task of analysing the log files on thousands of nodes in parallel. You get your answer in minutes, not hours or days. The advantage of doing so is to bring the data intensive parts of computation to the data instead of bringing the data to the computation.
Hadoop is a framework for running applications on large clusters built of commodity hardware. The Hadoop framework transparently provides applications both reliability and data motion. Hadoop implements a computational paradigm named Map/Reduce, where the application is divided into many small fragments of work, each of which may be executed or reexecuted on any node in the cluster. In addition, it provides a distributed file system (HDFS) that stores data on the compute nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. Both Map/Reduce and the distributed file system are designed so that node failures are automatically handled by the framework.
It does the housekeeping, the seperation of data in shards, the distribution of the analysing tasks on the server. You can view at it as an API/command line controlled grid engine for data distribution and data processing.
It consists out of the Hadoop Core, the Hadoop Distributed File System (it´s not a POSIXfilesystem integrated to the VFS, you can think of it like FTP, you need a client or you use an API to use it) , there is even an scripting language helping you to write the analysing jobs. This language is called Pig. Additional there is an effort to implement a database for structured data on top of Hadoop with HBase.
At the moment there are some gotchas in this technology. Fore example you can´t work with compressed files in it, as gzip files shards aren´t decompressible seperately (okay, it´s a problem of gzip, but it prevents you to work with it) (Update: I´m not entirely sure about this, it seems that you can work with block based compression like bz2, and gzip is indevelopment, at least according to the Pig documents). But here ZFS on-the-fly compression can be very helpful. I think i will create a Hadoop testbed with multiple zones on one of my systems this weekend.

Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze marks 43rd birthday
<!– Chinedu Ikedieze –>
Chinedu Ikedieze
By Jennifer Okundia
Nollywood actor, entrepreneur and comic act Chinedu Ikedieze, professionally known as Aki, turned 43 on Saturday and he shared the picture of a cake with his face on it.
Born on the 12th of December 1977, his primary and secondary education was in Aba, Abia State. He later bagged a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Theatre Arts and a degree in Mass communication from the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu (IMT).
He entered Nollywood in 2000 and became prominent in 2002, in a film called "Aki na Ukwa" where he played the breakthrough role of Aki alongside midget actor Osita Iheme.
The duo are known as "Aki and Paw Paw." He has featured in over 150 films. Ikedieze has acted in the role of a kid in most of his movies during his early career due to his physical appearance.
Chinedu received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the African Movie Academy Awards In 2007. He was also honored with the Order of the Federal Republic which was given by the then Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan for his immense contributions to Nollywood and to the economic growth of the country.
He married fashion designer Nneoma Nwaijah In 2011, and they had their first child in 2012. Sharing a message on social media, he wrote: "This is why I have every reason to be grateful to God: Growing up wasn't easy. The Struggles, the journey to stardom, keeping up with stardom, wonderful health and my QUALITY FREE -TO- AIR LIFE at no cost
"You See Why I'm Shining My Teeth? Oya let's celebrate…its my BIRTHDAY. Cake gifted to me by @maritos.cakes."

Hi, I'm Cristina and I'm the creator of my little brand Nanöo.
I have always loved creating and designing and textiles are my favorite material. Learning to sew properly in a small "Haute Couture" atelier gave me the knowledge to work with the finest materials, professional techniques and really valuable artisan skills... I live an easy, happy life. I prefer much more to have few, good quality things (clothes included) that I use regularly than a lot of items that I don't really need. Less is more, this is my philosophy. This is how I am and this is how Nanöo is too.
Through Nanöo I want to offer you the kind of sewing patterns with which you will be able to sew comfortable and "chic" garments in just a few hours; a selection of lovely kits with fantastic preselected fabrics and materials to create your own projects; and ready to wear clothes that we will be delighted to sew for you and that you will love to wear for years to come. I hope you like it here. Welcome to my world.

Emailed two plumbers on here but both failed to respond. Why do they bother putting their details on a site like this if they are so rude and ignore attempts to contact? It's like living in England. Even if they are unable to do the work requested they should have a little common courtesy and reply. Disappointed. I actually emailed two Spanish plumbers after this and had a reply within an hour. That says something.

Would not recommend DMF Plumbing. I hired DMF to install a new natural gas boiler (including extending the existing pipework to a new position from the old boiler). When we next used the heating (a month after the new boiler was installed), we realised that the timer wasn´t working. Mr Furze then returned twice to replace the timer: neither replacement worked. As it was clear that the wiring between the timer and the boiler hadn´t been carried out properly, I asked him to replace or repair it. Since then he has promised to return several times, but never has, fobbing me off with excuses about needing to find an electrician. He has now stopped responding to calls or messages. I would never use him again.
