The 2010 Pinstripe Bowl was played at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York on December 30, 2010. Syracuse won by a final score 36–34.
With 1:13 left in the game, Kansas State's Adrian Hilburn scored a 30-yard touchdown to pull KSU within two points of a tie. Following the score, Hilburn made a military hand salute toward the crowd and was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Because of the 15-yard penalty, Kansas State had to attempt a two-point conversion from the 17-yard line.[15] The conversion failed, accounting for the margin in the final score. The call was considered highly controversial, and according to ESPN determined the outcome of the game.[16] Due to the impact from this call, the NCAA chose in the next year's rule changes to not penalize celebrating in general but to penalize only taunting.[15] The call was called "one of the most infamous plays of the college football season in 2010" and was given the name "The Bronx Salute." It later was used as an example of incorrect interpretation of the new celebration rules.[17]

Well honed, slickly directed by Simon Phillips and twelve years on from its premiere, Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical has arrived in Adelaide at last.
The most successful Australian musical of modern times – probably all times so far, as it's conquered Broadway, the West End and 134 cities world wide, as well as touring widely in Britain and America, winning awards right left and centre for actors and the production itself.
Not surprising – there's so much going for it. First, the 1994 film was a hit, won an Academy Award for costume design and after screening at the 1994 Cannes film Festival became a cult classic. As you may well know, it's the story of three drag queens, Tick (Mitzi), a bisexual whose wife Marion lives in Alice Springs with their young son, Benji, Adam (Felicia) and Bernadette, whose partner has just died, who buy a bus they name Priscilla, and drive to Alice Springs by way of Broken Hill and Cooper Pedie. There, Adam goes into town in drag, gets bashed up and is only saved when Bernadette and Tick turn up and Bernadette kicks the ringleader were it hurts most.
When Priscilla breaks down next to nowhere Bob, the owner of Woop Woop pub, fixes the problem and join them, leaving his much younger wife and forming a relationship with Bernadette. Priscilla eventually reaches the Alice, and the trio puts on a show. Tick is incredulous, but overjoyed, that Benji easily accepts him, finding him funny on stage in drag; it helps that Marion has already told him about his Dad.
It's loud, it's lewd (often), it's hilarious but also tender (occasionally). The costumes are some of the brightest and most extraordinary you are ever likely to see, the array of wigs, many of them more like huge floral headdresses, are laugh out loud, and the wedge shoes look dangerously high.
The musical score is a stream of about 30 hit songs from the '70s and '80s, so it can't be called original, and the amplification means that often the words are lost, but that doesn't seem to matter too much – plenty in the audience would know them anyway. The story is carried by the dialogue, and that's witty enough often enough.
Tony Sheldon has played Bernadette over 1800 times by now, and won a slew of awards and nominations. He's totally convincing in the role of an old star of the King's Cross drag show Les Girls – just a bit sad, but warm, shrewd and funny. Euan Doidge's Felicia, at first bitchy but coming to some self-knowledge, would be more effective if he slowed his speech down. David Harris has a harder job as Tick, coming to terms with his bisexuality, but has a likeable sincerity. Robert Grubb's Bob is an ordinary bloke among these exotics.
From the first, the supporting ensemble dance and sing with terrific energy, and the singing of the three divas, Angelique Cassimatis, Samm Hagen and Cle Morgan, mostly suspended from the flies in gorgeous dresses, adds enormously to the show's music.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical is a fun night out.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical continues at the Adelaide Festival Theatre until September 15.


When you rent a bach you are journeying into a true Kiwiana experience. A little holiday house, near the coast or in the middle of farmland, near a volcano or on an island. It doesn't much matter where you are because the 'bach' (say bachelor and take off the ending!) comes in all shapes and sizes and there is one for every traveller.
What is important is to be prepared and to have all your basics sorted for the kitchen. That way you can simply relax when you get there and have a fantastic holiday with great food, a cool relaxed rhythm and an appreciation of all the local area can offer you too. Join me for some top tips to ensure that your Kiwi bach holiday means that you too get a holiday but one that is fit for purpose and doesn't mean you have to forsake the food you love whilst you are away from home!

Customer Experience Excellence Reaps Rewards for Not-for-profit organisations too
Delivering the very best customer experience, is not just a priority in the corporate sector. In the autumn of last year Investor in Customers assessed its first registered charity – the Together Trust.
The charity, which offers care, special education and community support to over 2000 vulnerable young people and adults each year, understand the true value of getting to know how customers, and employees perceive your organisation. It was vital to them, to not just hear the views of their customers but to get the 360° assessment that IIC deliver, getting feedback from employees and management too.
The charity gained an IIC Gold Award, and registered 'exceptional' scores across all four IIC principles, which is an impressive achievement for a first assessment. When asked why they would recommend the Together Trust, customers said that staff were 'caring, approachable and supportive'.
Emma, whose 20-year-old son Michael lives at a care home in Bolton, a residential children's home run by the Together Trust, said, "My son has been with the Trust for education for 14 years and residential care for almost four. The Trust is focused and committed to securing the best outcomes for its charges and works tirelessly to resolve any issue, big or small. It also works across services - education and health - to ensure our children receive the best services possible."
Their Chief Executive, Mark Lee, said, "We have an incredible team of over 800 employees and dedicated volunteers who are committed to providing high quality services and the best outcomes for everyone we support." He added, "We believe that everybody deserves an equal chance and, for us, nothing is more rewarding than seeing someone break through barriers to take control of their life."
Despite securing the highest IIC accolade, the Together Trust are not resting on their laurels, and are working hard to implement the recommended actions from IIC. To date they have implemented the following changes:
Re-shaped a five-year development plan, approved at Board level
Introduced practical ways to improve communication between various departments
Run an internal promotional campaign highlighting the positive feedback from customers during the IIC assessment, passing on genuine gratitude for the hard work of the teams within the organisation.
Julie Isted, Governance Manager at the Trust explains, "Through the IIC process we've learnt that although customer feedback has been very positive, we need to improve our cross-functional communications to families. We are using employee feedback from the process to develop a new staff engagement plan and we are creating a new integrated offer for the people we support. By using customer feedback in this way we hope that future IIC results will be even better as we drive to improve customer service excellence in the future. IIC has been flexible in their approach and good value. Segmenting the results down to our range of 40+ services has given us a great deal of insight into where our strengths and weaknesses truly are, as we work to provide the best opportunities for those with behavioural challenges, learning difficulties, complex health needs, physical disabilities and autism spectrum conditions."
Here at Investor in Customers, we believe that the Together Trust have identified a real need for, and significant benefit in, customer experience assessments within registered charities. Now that they have paved the way, and set the benchmark, we look forward to hearing from other not-for-profit and charitable organisations who want to raise the standard of their CX delivery.

Global Innovation Index ranks India the 57th most innovative nation
Hari Pulakkat
, ET Bureau Last Updated: Jul 11, 2018, 10:51 AM IST
India is ranked 5th in the lower middle income group. It is the most innovative country in its region of central and southern Asia.
India ranks well on a number of important indicators - productivity growth and exports of information and communication technology and services.
BENGALURU: The Global Innovation Index (GII) has ranked India as the 57th most innovative nation in the world. The country has improved its ranking from 60th position last year. India has been improving steadily since it was ranked 81st in 2015. Meanwhile, China improved its ranking from 22 in 2017 to 17 this year.
The GII is being developed jointly by Cornell University, the Paris-based business school Insead and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva. GII ranks 126 economies based on 80 indicators. It is now in its 11th edition and has become a major input for policymakers on innovation around the world.
Since 2011, Switzerland has been ranked at the top every year. This year, Netherlands follows at second place and Sweden at third. The US drops down to sixth from fourth last year. Apart from a rearrangement among themselves, the top 10 nations in GII have not changed.
After a precipitous drop in 2014 and 2015, India has been steadily improving its GII ranking in the last four years. "It is surprising that India is not ranked higher," says Francis Gurry, director general of WIPO. "But there is a consistent trend now, and I expect the trend to continue."
Although ranked at 57, India is a top performer in the lower middle income group, where it is ranked at fifth position. It is the most innovative country in its region of central and southern Asia. In the indicators that capture the quality of innovation inputs and outputs, India is ranked second after China in the lower and upper middle income group combined.
Many Asian nations have been steadily improving their ranking over the last five years. This list includes China, India, Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. Four of the top five innovation clusters are in Asia, based on patents and publishing. San Francisco is the only innovation cluster outside Asia among the top five.
Tokyo is at the top, and two of the top five clusters are in China. "China's rise has been dramatic in the last six years," says Soumitra Dutta, professor at the Cornell Johnson School of Business, and a founder of the GII. "A lot of conversations about China were anecdotal, but now its performance is showing up in the data."
Many of India's innovations are not easily captured in indicators. Bengaluru, for example, ranks at 65 among the top clusters in the world. Since the city's innovation is based on software, it does not show up in patents and publishing. "We have to evolve indicators which capture non-technological but game-changing innovations common in India," says RA Mashelkar, former director general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and a member of the GII international advisory board.

In the last few years the Internet evolved from an academic gadget confined to colleges, and became a revolution. It is now a powerful force changing the way we live, work, learn and play.
Nowadays, the Internet, consolidated as reality, is on its way to becoming ubiquitous. Right now, with the advent of high-speed access we are facing a basic change in the Internet. Until recently, most Internet access was low speed. Typically, dial-up connections of 28Kbps or 56Kbps were used. Some businesses and organisations used 64Kbps shared links. Greater speeds were possible, but very few companies or institutions could afford them. In fact, not so long ago, a 2Mbps link in Brazil cost close to US$ 50,000.00 per month. Now, 2 killer technologies are changing this landscape by making possible affordable high-speed access: cable-modems and ADSL. Cable-modem technology now uses standards defined by the cable industry itself. Industry-wide adoption of the standards rapidly made proprietary technologies obsolete and caused extremely fast drops in equipment prices. Nowadays, the cable modem is becoming a consumer product; TVs and videocassettes will soon have integrated cable modems incorporated. Cable modems can provide fast, shared line, connections of up to 40Mbps. ADSL makes use of the same copper line as a regular telephone service; it provides up to 6Mbps per user. Despite the lack of full ADSL standardization, many tests of interoperability have been performed by different vendors. We expect that by the end of this year connection standards will emerge. Both the cable and ASDL technologies are primarily aimed at individual users or, in some cases, the SOHO market. As they evolve, though, more and more large companies will start to use them, initially for telecommuting employees and later for connections betwen branches. As high speed access technologies become increasingly available, Internet users, themeselves, will have to face the challenge of how to deal with the large amount of data generated. Certain technologies will be used increasingly to handle the traffic: very big routers. Routers are the basis of Internet traffic handling. They "decide" where to send it packets. The dramatic increase of packet velocity and volume creates a need for smarter routers. Since the core routers need to keep track of every address in Internet, they will need greatly expanded memory to "memorize" the growing number of users. Ciscos GSR12000 is an example of the big routers needed to handle the growth of Internet traffic; in Brazil, just a couple of years ago, there was only one – now there are more than 10. QOS, or "Quality of Service," is not a single technology, but a family of technologies that make possible simultaneous voice, data and video on the Internet. That is necessary because voice and video transmission are more sensitive to delays and drops of packets than standard, data only, Internet. Todays Internet is, inherently, a "best effort to deliver" technology. QOS creates a different class of service, making sensitive priority packets the last to be discarded. QOS is a very versatile technology; it enables Service Providers (ISPs) to create separate classes of service and charge for them differently. One service, for example, called 3 class, is a scheme to provide premium voice and video services with low delay and low drop, a medium grade service with medium loss and drop for corporate data, and basic service for domestic users or free internet access. VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that enables businesses to create a secure "tunnel" inside an insecure shared network. This technology is used together with high speed access technology, so employees can access their company networks through the Internet without loss of security that transmission via this public network might otherwise entail. To successfully deploy this technology, powerful management capabilities are needed that can simultaneously serve hundreds of users. Optical technologies will be increasingly used to provide networks with increased bandwidth. Fibre optics are the best solution for high-speed data transmission. A new set of exciting equipment is starting to appear including optical cross-connects that route connections using only optical information, and WDM (wave division multiplexing) a technology that combines hundreds of signals on a single optical fibre. These new technologies expand the capacity of a single fibre by a factor of 100. The broadband Internet revolution creates an important social challenge. How can basic access be provided to as many people as possible? The Internet is already creating two classes of citizen: those with Internet access and those without access. The opportunities, both economic and social, available to those with access will be vastly different than the opportunities available to that part of the population outside of, without access to, this technology. My vision is that this challenge will be resolved in a variety of ways. As the basic equipment becomes cheaper, year by year, more people will be able to afford Internet access. Color TV is a good example of how this might work. Few people could afford it in the 1970s, but it has become so cheap now that it is almost ubiquitous. Another trend, free Internet access, will allow an increasingly large sector of the population to get on the net. More and more companies provide free Internet access in order to increase their user bases. They get their revenue through advertisements – the more users they have, the more they can charge advertisers. Public institutions – schools, colleges, associations, etc – are also providing Internet access and helping to bring even more people into the community of Internet users. As technologies evolve, a very new set of aplications will become available to users; one of the most important is learning at a distance. In fact, electronic learning, or e-learning will be probably one of the killer applications of 2000s. E-learning is made possible by combining high speed Internet and new content development. E-learning will have many flavours. Home courses will combine voice together with video images of the instructor and of supporting materials such as drawings, pictures and the like. Courses will be modularized so we can update our knowledge in short sessions of 1, 2 or 3 hours per day, whenever they can be fit into our personal schedules. E-learning can also be used to spread specific knowledge. For instance, a speaker in an auditorium can talk to, maybe, 200 or 300 people at a time, but if his speech is broadcast on the Internet it can reach thousands. A top rate surgeon can broadcast his work and spread his knowledge, live, to medical colleges worldwide. Conclusion I think that Internet and E-learning will contribute importantly to the transformation of our society into a better place for an increasingly large percentage of the worlds population.

The Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Protegida Alicante (Regulatory Board of the Alicante Protected Designation of Origin) is not just a mere body, it also strives to strike a balance that helps to create a true Mediterranean environment.
Transport, languages, multiple distribution expenses, taxes, insurance, customs, labelling translation.
Our wine must be drunk right here. Next to our sea and our mountains. That's the real Mediterranean experience.
That's why we are the ONLY PDO IN SPAIN with no international promotion objectives, with 75% of our sales in the domestic market, mainly locally. We're convinced that, by visiting our region, our wineries and enjoying our wines right here, we can improve and sustain this trading model, and our products become the stars of our gastronomy. It's a commitment shared by all: the wine industry itself, the local hospitality sector acting responsibly and the consumers.
Alicante currently boasts the LARGEST ORGANIC WINE-GROWING AREA in the Valencian Region and one of the largest in Spain.
Traditional vine-growing is clean as the absence of pests or adverse weather conditions requires fewer treatments. In addition, water needs are very low. Firstly, because we have varieties that are well adapted to drought, such as Monastrell. And secondly, because although irrigation has extended for survival purposes in such a dry area, the use of water in vineyards is moderate.
The very fact that the area suffers the threat of drought gives greater value to Alicante vineyards in the fight to maintain local crops, making this our priority.
For this reason, the Alicante PDO has launched ecological awareness campaigns and its new requirements will include ecological or organic certification to highlight these natural conditions. And we must not forget the latest certificates that seek to provide accurate information on sustainable practices: Demeter, biodynamic, vegan, etc.

This visit by the AFC and the corporation's strong support for Liberia is validation of the value of such an international organisation, and is why Liberia is pleased to be joining as a member." Welcoming Liberia's membership of the Pan-African investment bank and development finance institution, the AFC's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Andrew Alli, expressed AFC's appreciation to The Republic of Liberia for acceding to membership of the Corporation. 'AFC is delighted to have Liberia as a member of the organisation.
We are committed to helping Liberia develop its infrastructure, specifically through the expansion of much needed power to drive economic growth for sustainable development." Mr Alli described Liberia's membership as critical in AFC's quest to be the World's leading Pan African investment bank, by driving the fast tracking of Africa's economic development through proactively creating, acquiring and managing infrastructure, industrial and financial assets. Liberia joins other African countries, notably Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau, Gambia and Sierra-Leone as members of the AFC. AFC and the Government of Liberia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of an Emergency Power Project.

Ferrari wins in Shanghai – three months ago
AF Corse Ferrari #51 has been declared winners of the 4 Hours of Shanghai FIA World Endurance Championship race in November 2019. The team with James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi crossed the finishing line as the first car in GTE Pro, and did stand on the top step. During the subsequent scrutineering, the FIA WEC officials found the car not to have a minimum clearance of 50mm. It was not specified exactly how much lower the car was found – just that it was too low. That resulted in…

A weekend of novellas
17th November 2014 / David Hebblethwaite / 4 Comments
Recently, Scott Pack spent a couple of weekends reading novellas. IT sounded an interesting idea, and I had some time this weekend, so I thought I'd do the same. It did cross my mind that, having recently resolved to slow down and savour the books I read, I might be contradicting myself by now reading a small pile of books in a relatively short space of time – but actually I don't think I was. If (as I've said elsewhere) a novel is like a journey and a short story is more like an intense moment of experience, then a novella is perhaps somewhere between – a sustained period of heightened experience. If I made sure that this wasn't about reading as many books as I could, but about selecting a few and taking the time and space to appreciate them properly, there was no reason it couldn't work.
I looked on my shelves for novellas, but also borrowed a few from the library, as I wanted there to be an element of uncertainty to the selection. The one change from my plan was that I read only six novellas, rather than the seven I had lined up – in the event, seven felt like overdoing it; six was a nice round number, manageable in the time, and still a pretty substantial amount to get through.
So, here's what I read at the weekend (some of these may be too long or too short to count as true novellas, but hey-ho):
Annie Proulx, Brokeback Mountain (1997)
Originally published in the New Yorker, then later released as a separate book (interestingly, several years before the film – which I haven't seen, by the way). Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist meet as young ranch hands in 1963; while working and camping together on Brokeback Mountain, they become intimate; and their feelings for each other will haunt the rest of their lives. Brokeback Mountain is a fine example of short fiction's ability to distil entire lives into a few pages; indeed, part of the point is that Ennis' and Jack's lives have been defined by a few incidents. The problem is, I never really believed in their attraction: it comes on abruptly and, for me at least, never gains the emotional weight that it needs. Now, I recognise that this could be Proulx's point: that the two men don't examine their desire for each other, but just accept that it's there; and at least one of them wants to keep it at a distance, so that's reflected in the tone of the writing. But even with that thought in mind, Brokeback Mountain doesn't quite work for me.
Pascal Garnier, The Islanders (2010)
Translated from the French by Emily Boyce (2014)
This is the sixth of the late Pascal Garnier's noirs to appear in English from Gallic Books, and the third I've read; it's typically tense, wry, and strange. Olivier returns to Versailles to bury his mother; he discovers that his childhood Jeanne is living opposite with her blind brother Rodolphe. Jeanne and Olivier have a dark secret in their past, which threatens to come out into the open. And they're about to gain another secret, when Olivier wakes up after a dinner party with the siblings to find the fourth guest – a stranger who had been helping Rodolphe around town – dead in the bathroom. You can guess this isn't going to end well, but what really keeps the pages turning in The Islanders is the uncertainty over just how far these characters are prepared to go – and maybe even they don't know until the time comes to find out.
Zadie Smith, The Embassy of Cambodia (2013)
My reactions to Zadie Smith's work range from lukewarm to positive; happily, this one was positive. Its starting point is the fact that the Cambodian Embassy in London, unlike most embassies, is not in the city centre, but is instead a house on a suburban street. About the only thing anyone can see over the wall is a flying shuttlecock; what's going on behind those walls – apart from a game of badminton – is anyone's guess. So the Embassy becomes a metaphor for the hidden worlds and lives that lie in our midst. Smith's protagonist is Fatou, who walks past the Embassy of Cambodia on her way to the swimming pool (where she secretly takes advantage of her employers' membership) and wonders about her place in the world. This is a satisfying story that swoops in and out, from one person's life to the wider world, and hinting at the untold stories that become lost in the throng of a busy street.
Gabriel García Márquez, No One Writes to the Colonel (1961)
Translated from the Spanish by J.S. Bernstein (1968)
One thing that a project like this novella-reading is useful for is ticking off a few names on the old "authors I've been meaning to read" list. So here's my introduction to Gabriel García Márquez. Every Friday – as he has for the last fifteen years – the colonel eagerly awaits the mail, hoping that this will be the week his army pension arrives. In the meantime, the colonel and his wife subsist as best they can, their only real hope being the prize rooster that might win a few cockfights – if the colonel can resist the temptation to sell it. There's a sense of absurdity running through this story, but it's a rueful absurdity, born of being caught in an impossible situation – the absurd (but all too real) bureaucracy that withholds the colonel's pension, and the absurd (but again all too real) lengths he has to go to in order to survive and keep face. I liked No One Writes to the Colonel, but feel I don't quite have the measure of García Márquez's work yet; I'll have to read something else by him for that.
Yan Ge, White Horse (2008)
Translated from the Chinese by Nicky Harman (2014)
Published by HopeRoad Publishing (who have a particular focus on African, Asian, and Caribbean writers), White Horse is the story of Yun Yun, who watches her cousin Zhang Qing grow up and drift away to test the waters of adulthood, though her parents may not approve. Meanwhile, Yun Yun's widowed father is seeing one of the local teachers, which will reveal further cracks in the family's relationships. There's a clarity to Nicky Harman's translation which makes this novella engaging to read, but it's the deceptive clarity of a child's voice – one that doesn't know or perceive everything. This is what leads into the deeper heart of Yan Ge's tale; that and the mysterious visions of white horses that Yun Yun keeps seeing, which may represent her own growing awareness. Good stuff.
Bogdan Suceavă, Miruna, a Tale (2007)
Translated from the Romanian by Alistair Ian Blyth (2014)
When I saw this book in the shop it was shrinkwrapped, with no blurb on the back cover; so I had nothing to judge it by but the gorgeous design (hats off to Prague-based Twisted Spoon Press; it really is a beautiful object). Happily, the contents are just as good. The narrator, Trajan, recalls childhood visits to his grandfather in Evil Vale, where the old man would tell stories of family history which blurred the line with myth. Alistair Ian Blyth's translation captures that elusive magical quality that makes Grandfather's tales of fays and curses persuasive. But what I like most about Bogdan Suceavă's book is how fully it dissolves the line between truth and fantasy: Trajan's sister Miruna shares her grandfather's affinity for the magical; so something is carried between them with the telling of the tales that Trajan can only guess at. And, as we only ever hear Trajan's voice, how are we to know what's real and what isn't? Ultimately, it seems that what matters most is simply that the stories are told.
My final thoughts? I enjoyed doing this – it brought me into contact with books I might not have read otherwise, and led me to take from my shelves books I hadn't got around to. I quite like the idea of having an occasion like this to read novellas, and I think I'll be trying it again before long.
Christopher Priest, The Islanders (2011)
18th November 2011 / David Hebblethwaite / 10 Comments
Christopher Priest's work has given me some of the best reading experiences I've ever had, so I opened The Islanders – his first novel in nine years – with no small amount of anticipation. For this book, Priest returns to the world of the Dream Archipelago, setting for a number of short stories and, in part, 1981's The Affirmation (rest assured that The Islanders stands alone, though readers of the earlier works will recognise a few names and concepts). The Dream Archipelago is a great, world-spanning array of islands; a neutral zone between two countries at war. What we're presented with in the pages of Priest's book is ostensibly a gazetteer of some of these islands; but, as well as the standard geographical information one would expect, some of its entries comprise narratives or other sorts of text.
Who (within the context of the fiction) wrote and compiled these entries is uncertain; but the gazetteer's introduction is credited to one Chaster Kammeston, an Archipeligan native and celebrated writer in the world of the book. Not that Kammeston is convinced that the volume he's introducing will be of much use, as actually mapping and navigating the Archipelago are nigh on impossible: partly because there are so many different naming conventions for the same geographical features (the ones that actually have names, at least); and partly because of the naturally-occurring "temporal vortices" which distort one's very perception of the world. Kammeston is even unsure whether he's the right person to be writing an introduction to a work about the vast expanses of the Archpelago, given that, as he says, "I have never stepped off the island [of my birth], and I expect never to do so before I die." (p. 1).
But something is not quite right, here. We meet Chaster Kammeston again in the entries of the gazetteer itself; and, if we can believe what we read there, not only has he willingly left his home island several times, he is also dead – yet there he is, alive to write an introduction, apparently after the book has been compiled. Kammeston's is just one story woven through The Islanders; other characters (many of them artists and thinkers of one kind or another) and events recur: the mime Commis is murdered in a theatre when a sheet of glass is dropped on him from above – but maybe the identity of his killer is not as cut-and-dried as it first appeared; Jordenn Yo travels the Archipelago, creating art installations by tunnelling through islands (presumably that's what landed her in prison); we may never meet the painter Dryd Bathurst properly 'in person', as it were, but we hear enough about him to piece together an impression of who he is and what he might have done.
That last comment points towards a key aspect of The Islanders: namely, that its very structure forces us to construct its story (or stories) for ourselves. This is more than just a simple matter of chapters being arranged out of chronological order; as Adam Roberts notes, the novel itself can be seen as an archipelago, with each chapter an 'island' of narrative. Formally, Priest's novel embodies something of what it suggests about island life:
Islands gave an underlying feeling of circularity, of coast, a limit to what you could achieve or where you might go. You knew where you were but there was invariably a sense that there were other islands, other places to be. (p. 281)
Individual entries within the book point at connections between themselves, without overtly having the sense of being linked that we would normally expect the chapters of a book to have. Priest leaves us to make the links ourselves; but, more than having to assemble a set of puzzle-pieces into a coherent picture, more than having an incomplete set of pieces and having to fill in the gaps, in The Islanders we can fill the gaps in many different ways, thereby imagining new connections. Is Character A also Character B? Could Place X be another name for Place Y, and what does that imply if so? Just as the Dream Archipelago is ultimately unmappable, so The Islanders refuses to be understood definitively. It's a novel which challenges our conceptions of what a novel can tell.
I'm not sure that The Islanders is right up there with the best of Priest's work for me – it doesn't give the great shock to the imagination that The Affirmation, The Prestige, and The Separation do – but it's no less an elegant construction for that. It lulls you in with the measured neutrality of its prose, and the familiar, non-specific modernity of its world; so that those occasions where the narration does break out of its gazetteer-like register, or a properly fantastical notion is introduced, are all the more effective. And, as a novel which embodies its concepts and concerns within its very foundations, The Islanders is a work of art.

Studio two have started to set up our school greenhouse! We grew Kale! We also made kale chips. They were delicious! We made them and wrote down the ingredients and instructions for our writing lesson. So now we can help Mum and Dad with some cooking at home!
If anyone at home has some plants/seeds or time (i.e. green fingers and want to come in and help with teaching kids about gardening) please get in contact with studio two teachers…we still need help with our greenhouse and keeping it going!
Studio two have finally finished the BFG literacy unit. WOW what a great book to explore language with. We also learnt about themes like unlikely friendships, over coming hardship, bullying and dreams – having goals.
DREAM JARS: When we made our dream jars we put in a dream we would love to have on a tiny piece of paper and then added emotions and feelings that come to us in our dreams and filled our jars with them….
Here are some photos of our dream jars and our BFG wall in class. Come into the studio and check out some of our writing!
This term studio two has been learning about plants and how they go from the plant to our plate! We started a conversation about Bees last week because we know they are what help most plants grow. We asked a bee expert to come in and talk to us about Bees so we could learn more. So the Bee Lady came with her Bees and Honey and talked to us about how important bees are to humans. Turns out we actually cannot live without them! We ate honey and made a honey sandwich, we made Bees Wax candles, and learnt about the parts of the bee.
5. We MUST protect bees and plant lots of bee friendly flowers to help them!
Studio 2 has been reading the BFG everyday and we are loving it!!! We have been writing lots about the BFG and everyone has learnt the word colossal and have been putting it in their writing! Mrs Anketell worked hard with the kids to make their very own 'frobscottle'! It was scrumptious and we loved writing about it!!!
As part of our "Keeping ourself safe" topic, Studio 2 have been learning about the different foods we can eat to best look after ourselves. We visited the Botanical gardens here in Auckland and had such an incredible time! We toured the gardens and had a session with the educator called "Patch to Plate" where we learnt all about the foods grown in the ground that then transform on our plates. It was such a fantastic trip!!! Thank you to all those parent helpers that came along to support us!
As part of our daily routine we are building our ideas about words. At our painting and craft tables we use crayon and paint to design the letter of the week where we can then collage pictures or words from magazines that start with that letter sound.
We can hold our pencils correctly while forming letters in our handwriting lessons. Friends are great at letting us know when we should try again.
Our play dough table is where we think about new words from picture cards or word walls. We make those words on our play dough plate mat.

Political strategists and candidates will be well-served to keep their eyes on an important demographic shift while thinking about how to connect with Millennial generation voters.
Over the next three decades or so, the cohort of Baby Boomers will decline in size steadily, and by mid-century only about 1 in 5 will be living, as the Pew Research Center points out.
As this giant post-war generation — the largest in U.S. history to this point — dwindles, so too will a defined set of news consumption habits that evolved around print newspapers and limited consumer broadcast choice. Meanwhile, a diverse new generation will come to maturity with a new set of embedded information, technology and communications practices and values.
A March 2015 report from the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, "How Millennials Get News: Inside the Habits of America's First Digital Generation," draws new insights based on a survey of 1,046 members of the generation, as well as qualitative interviews in select cities. Working together as part of the Media Insight Project, the researchers set out to test some commonly held assumptions about Millennials — a highly digitally connected cohort — including that they are less interested in news than are past generations. The margin of error for the survey was plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
Just under two-thirds (64%) said they regularly follow what's going on in the world and/or consume news articles or broadcasts.
"Millennials consume news and information in strikingly different ways than previous generations, and their paths to discovery are more nuanced and varied than some may have imagined," the report concludes.

Straggler Drinks and 2020 Awards
It seems an age since we last met, in April 2019 to celebrate the performances of 2018. Since then we had the record breaking, glory season of 2019 – the tour to Menorca, 14 victories, 4,588 runs from the bat, a record breaking first wicket partnership of 221 by George and Benny, most outfield catches (73) and only the second time that four bowlers had taken 20 wickets or more, and most remarkably, 12 centuries (in a season when the highest score by an opponents was 94*). Just as we were about to do it all again, the world turned upside down, and even this week the virus did its best to disrupt the drinks party. So, thank you to Ange and Nige for stepping in at the last minute to allow us to celebrate the performances of what became the very intense and Covid foreshortened season of 2020. It is great to be here on the evening of what should be another nail-biting inter-Straggler fixture.
Before I come to the performances of note from the 2020 season, I would just like to remember Stragglers who are no longer with us.
Robin Baker White was a Straggler with a modest cricketing record, but a strong supporter of the Club and landlord of the ground at Street End, where we have played some wonderful games.
David Walters played 85 innings between 1947 and 1976 and scored 1381 runs. He was the leading run scorer in the first full Straggler season of 1947 and took 27 catches in his Straggler career.
Guy Yerburgh, Lord Alvingham passed away in March 2020, at the time the oldest surviving Straggler, and one whose interest in the Club never waned. He would ring me once a season to pass on his congratulations and best wishes to the Club, and was particularly thrilled when we toured to Majorca. Guy played for a decade from 1952, and scored the 5th Straggler century, when Straggler centuries were unusual achievements. In 1953 he scored 491 runs in a season, a total not bettered for 44 years, and participated in the record third wicket partnership, which also stood for 44 years. And those of you who were at the dinner in 2017 will recall John Burleigh's Straggler alphabet – "A is for Alvingham, record holder proud".
Lieutenant Commander Neal MacLeay played Straggler cricket from 1953 to 1976. Neal did not bowl and contributed modestly with the bat, but was a highly accomplished keeper. His record of 7 stumpings in a season in 1961 (shared with David Walters) stands to this day, one of the few keeping records not to fall to Al.
Bobby Neame was one of the great accumulators for the Stragglers. He made his debut in 1955 and played in every season until 1994, with a final outing in 1999, and now standing in fourth place in the all-time list of run scorers with 4,669 runs. On debut he made a modest 6, but the card warranted closer inspection, as that proved to be the highest score on either side, as the Stragglers were skittled for a record low of 17 and lost by 6 wickets. Bobby was not built for speed but had the disconcerting habit of calling "two" for the sharpest of singles, which sowed confusion among the fielders, and caused great concern to his partner, who had not expected to be batting with a greyhound. Looking at Bobby's run scoring in the early '60s, the prospect of one JB Neame seemed to upset the flow. Leading run scorer in 1961 and 1964. Bobby only managed 22 runs at 3.67 in 1963. With brother Rex, Bobby held the record for the 4th wicket partnership for 56 years from 1961, until they were overtaken in 2017 by a brace of Smallwoods. And Bobby served on the committee for 35 years.
Now to 2020, and the glorious, entirely cricket free early summer, a tragedy of lost opportunity. However, we did get underway eventually, and then did not lose a game to the weather or to cancellation and had almost no trouble raising sides in a frenzy of cricketing enthusiasm. Indeed, such was the enthusiasm to play, that Theo was proposed as the first winner of the Straggler Euclid award for basic maths – for an inability to count to 11. We won 6 and only lost 2 of 9 games played (not the fewest games in a season). And we fitted in 2 Inter-Straggler fixtures. Sadly, the tour to Paris was called off, as has the possible re-run in September this year, and our Parisian friends from Standard Athletic Club have not made it to Kent for 2 years. In the tie at Nonington, only the 8th in Straggler history, advantage swung back and forth to be settled on the final ball.
Among the more upsetting casualties of Covid has been the cricket tea, now turned from an occasionally sumptuous feast laid out on trestle tables in the traditional style to a last-minute petrol station sandwich. I fear that teas may take some time to recover to their former glory.
The season began at Egerton and ended at Street End, and I can say with some confidence that the Stragglers drew larger crowds to every game than were allowed to watch England playing behind closed doors. This was particularly true at Egerton, when the entire extended Neame family were present to support Jonathan.
Harry Heming became the third winner of the Peter Budden/Shepway Straggler award. Sadly, Harry damaged his hand playing cricket earlier in the summer and is unable to play tomorrow.
Fred Sharp 101 vs St. Lawrence and Highland Court
Jasper Smallwood 139* in the first Inter-Straggler game
Harry Pattinson 112 vs Stowting
Will Hilton 114* vs Folkestone
George W 100* in the second Inter-Straggler game
Batting award George Baker White with 356 runs at 59.33
"5 fors"
Ben Simpson 6 for 54 Egerton
Nick Tapp 5 for 18 Stowting
Bowling award Toby Snape with 11 wickets at 9.09, one of a very select modern group with an average in single figures for the season
Champagne moment
The Inter-Straggler game has given us a few champagne moments to treasure over the years, including Toby's heroic umpiring decision in 2011, and the mutual wicket taking of Alastair and Joe Gordon in 2015.
I am not sure if there is a formal term for the equivalent of night-watchman sent in to open an innings in the middle of the afternoon to protect the opener on the card. However, Al was persuaded by George that he should open the innings and face one of the more effective overs of hostile bowling from Toby. However, George still found himself facing Toby in the opening over, as Al had only managed to fend off the fourth ball to the keeper, having been hit by the first three. George's innings was shorter still.
However, the winners of the champagne moment for 2020 came from the second Inter-Straggler game. The Committee decided to make it a family award to James, Will and Ed Stabb, who between them took 8 for 58. My personal favourite among the wickets was James' first ball for the Stragglers in 6 years to bowl the master brewer.

The cyber threats and trends that will dominate going into 2023
By Ian Barker
It might still be a bit early to begin thinking about next year, but new research from Intel 471 analyzes recent and commonly used tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) that have been adopted by prominent threat actors.
It also looks at how these threats have affected enterprises, along with predictive intelligence assessments on threats that organizations should be prepared to thwart over the next year.
"It is important to not only draw attention to the TTPs commonly used by the most capable threat actors but also to provide rich context for how these TTPs can impact organizations at every stage of the cyberattack chain, and how they can be countered by tactical defenders and senior decision makers," says Intel 471 chief intelligence officer, Michael DeBolt. "The findings of our latest research will help arm organizations with the adversary, credential, malware and vulnerability intelligence they need to refine their cyber defense strategy, adjust their security practices and prepare for 2023."
The report predicts the threat landscape will continue to be shaped by an increase in ransomware attacks and a demand for network access, that threat actors will persist in capitalizing on security vulnerabilities and that hacktivism will likely remain a threat.
It notes that vulnerabilities have reduced in quantity whilst increasing in severity as prominent ransomware groups such as LockBit continue to offer evolving products with targeted services. World events have also shaped the threat landscape this year, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine acting as a catalyst for further polarization of the underground.
Use of information-stealers is set to continue into 2023 as well. Since the beginning of 2022, there has been a substantial uptick in offerings when compared to the same period of 2021.
"With the constant evolution throughout the cyber threat landscape and resilience that threat actors continue to display, organizations need insights based on research and intelligence surrounding the most prominent threat actors to understand their activities and to stay ahead of the next attack," DeBolt adds. "Just as threat actors and groups are adjusting their methods to remain resilient against new and emerging security measures, organizations should be staying abreast of key TTPs employed by adversaries and adjusting their security systems based on that intelligence to tackle new and refined ways of being compromised."
You can get the full report from the Intel 471 site.

Q: Multiple Values in SQL Query I'm learning SQL and I'm trying to run a query where the results return with orders from several product numbers. However, I think I'm making a mistake when it comes to listing those product numbers in the filter of my query. I am certain that at least 2 orders have been placed of product 1201 as I have run the numbers in individual queries, but when I add additional numbers, I get zero results.
My query:
SELECT
   h.customer_number, h.product_number, h.del_qty
FROM
   customer_del_hist AS h
INNER JOIN
   inv_master AS i ON i.product_number = h.product_number
WHERE
   (i.product_number = '1200, 1201, 1202, 1203')

A: You want in.  If these are numbers, then you do not want single quotes either:
WHERE i.product_number IN (1200, 1201, 1202, 1203)

If, you are getting a datatype error, then the values are not numbers.  Use single quotes in that case:
WHERE i.product_number IN ('1200', '1201', '1202', '1203')

(Why a field called "product_number" would not have a number is an interesting self-referential paradox.)

A: You Query(ie: '=" )searches for the '1200, 1201, 1202, 1203' string not the values present in that place you need to use in operator for multiple values or
as
WHERE  i.product_number  in(1200,1201,1202)

You can go with
WHERE i.product_number =1200 OR i.product_number =1201 OR i.product_number =1202 OR i.product_number =1203

A: Your can further extend Gordon's answer by using subquery
where i.product_number in (select id from all_products)

A: Use WHERE IN clause
 WHERE in ('1200, 1201, 1202, 1203')

Prior to the merger of Cap Gemini and the consulting division of Ernst & Young in 2000, I was asked to come up with an appropriate present to all 55,000 employees when the merger was complete - a millennium gift. I suggested that I compile a book consisting of great works of original humor that had appeared on the Internet over the years and spread via e-mail to millions of people. We could ask people in the company to nominate their favorites.
We published our request for nominations in various newsletters I was writing and on Cap Gemini's intranet site on which I wrote and edited a daily newsletter.. Suggestions did not flood in. I should have taken this as an omen, but I didn't. Instead I went to my computer file marked Miscellaneous Humor Stuff and found I had saved most of the great and funny e-mails myself over the years. I decided to fib and attribute them to various Cap Gemini teams around the world.
The distribution of humor over the web had gone from a trickle to a torrential flood. When I first started working on the book, the search engine Altavista found 2,959,150 web pages when one asked for 'humor,' and 685,950 if you spelled 'humour' the English way. Today, Google finds 13,200,000 for 'humor,' four million if you spell it the English way, 5.8 million if you ask for 'joke,' and a whopping 471,000 if you ask for the whole phrase "joke of the day."
The idea was embraced by Cap Gemini's CEO with one proviso - that I try to locate the authors so that no copyrights were violated. This turned out to be an exercise in futility. I assigned the best researcher I knew, Louise Stein, to the task. Through incredible diligence she was able to find some, but not all of our targets. In a number of cases there were two or three different writers claiming credit for the same piece, and these were impossible to straighten out. One such writer, who became a friend, insisted we publish his work with another of the writers credited since the other fellow had submitted it to a national magazine and even won a prize for it!
We traced some of our favorite pieces and discovered to our dismay that they were written by some of the planet's best known names. Steven Wright's entire act is on the Internet on a multitude of sights, sometimes labeled 'author unknown.' Rita Rudner, David Letterman and Jay Leno are also plagiarized willy nilly. Adam Sandler's hilarious angry horoscope seems to go around the e-mail circuit every few months without crediting him.
We communicated with every author we could find and they were all most generous with their permissions. We had some failures including the Chicago Tribune which refused us permission to publish the famous Kurt Vonnegut parody that had been written by staff writer Mary Schmich. (She also wrote a follow-up piece on her experiences with the piece as it swamped her friend's e-mails.) On the other hand, the Washington Post is unique in that it claims no ownership of material submitted in its Style Section competitions, and did not object to our publishing 'Children's Books You'll Never Read' or 'Excuses for Staying Home From Work.' Permissions Editor Kim Oster and Style Editor Judy Weinraub were most helpful.
In the end, however, the book was not meant to be. The technologists of Cap Gemini and the business management consultants of Ernst & Young turned out to have very dissimilar senses of humor (if any). The problem of good and bad taste (and as we know many of the funniest pieces on the web are lacking in taste) could not be sorted out. Computer-oriented pieces were axed by the Cap Gemini people because they thought the E&Y people wouldn't understand the technical side of things and would feel that they themselves were being made fun of. And, most frustratingly, some of the pieces I felt were hilarious went right over the heads of the Cap Gemini executives.
The project collapsed, and it may have been a metaphor for the merger itself. When the deal was sealed in April, 2000, the stock traded at euros 369 a share. When I left the company in April of 2003 (after a cost-cutting massacre when the company axed all independent contractors) the stock was trading at euros 18.
Here are some of the best pieces that were to be included in the book. Many of them have probably found their way into your e-mail inbox already, but, if not, I hope you enjoy them. Please let us know if you know any authors who have not been properly credited.
