Illinois legislation to change tax calculations on leased vehicles remained standing at the altar as the state's General Assembly adjourned its fall veto session Nov. 7. Lawmakers still can give the bill final approval next month or in the 2014 spring session.
But the measure has seen two recent bright spots: Officials of the Illinois Revenue Department now indicate their position on House Bill 2317 to be positive, a change from neutral last spring; and House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, said she supports the bill.
But House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, declined to call the bill during the fall session. Final House approval would advance the bill to Gov. Pat Quinn.
The Senate passed HB 2317 unanimously as the spring legislative session drew to a close. But the bill was not returned to the House until May 31, the session's scheduled adjournment date, and it was believed House members did not have enough time to consider it then.
The Chicago Automobile Trade Association and the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association have made several runs at the taxation change on long-term leases (more than one year), but revenue officials always focused on near-term shortfalls in tax collection over long-term gains. But immediate gains would be seen in the bill's structure, under which dealers could not offer trade-in credits to their lease customers.
The changes are projected to increase state revenues $14 million to $28 million annually, based on forecasts of increased leasing activity. Lease transactions in Illinois currently are about half the number in nearby states. After years, Illinois Revenue Department officials have come to agree that Illinois should compute the sales tax on lease deals in the same manner as do 47 other states.
Under House Bill 2317, the taxation change would take effect July 1, 2014. If the House waits until January to pass the bill, the effective date automatically would change to Jan. 1, 2015, but that would not force both legislative chambers to reconsider the matter.
Under fire from both its critics and supporters, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is trying to reassure lawmakers and downplay concerns about its efforts to root out discrimination in the auto lending market.
In a Nov. 4 letter to Senate and House lawmakers, CFPB Director Richard Cordray outlined the methods the bureau is using to investigate potential violations of fair lending laws by lenders who provide financing for car dealers.
Cordray acknowledged the CFPB has not studied the potential ripple effects of the guidance on the broader market and whether it could limit credit availability, something that is likely to rankle lawmakers worried about their constituents' access to affordable transportation.
The tension underscores the challenge the CFPB has faced as it tries to write new financial rules to protect consumers: When those rules threaten to make credit more difficult to obtain, the bureau comes under pressure from friends and foes alike.
The CFPB issued a warning in March that lenders who give dealers discretion to mark up interest rates are at higher risk of violating anti-discrimination laws. But lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed for more details and raised concerns in letters to Cordray that the guidance could limit competition.
The industry has said the bureau is unfairly targeting lenders for discrimination that is unintentional and extremely difficult to monitor. And auto dealers have complained the guidance is an end run around the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, which exempted them from CFPB oversight.
Meanwhile, some of the bureau's traditional supporters in Congress are pushing back against its efforts to crack down on auto lending discrimination.
"Although the CFPB has alleged that 'disparate impact' discrimination is present in the indirect auto financing market, the bureau has yet to explain its basis for this assertion," wrote the senators, led by Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
In a statement accompanying the letter, Shaheen said she is a "strong supporter" of the bureau but said the public should be given an opportunity to weigh in on the issue. "I'm concerned that the recent policy guidance from CFPB could restrict legitimate credit options and increase costs for many Americans looking to finance their cars," she said.
The Senate missive follows a series of letters from members of the House Financial Services Committee, including 11 Democrats, several of whom are members of the Congressional Black Caucus and some of the bureau's closest allies. Consumer advocates who support tougher scrutiny of auto lending point the finger at the powerful auto dealers' lobby. They flexed their muscle once before, managing to secure a key exemption from CFPB oversight under Dodd-Frank.
The National Automobile Dealers Association, by far the largest of the dealer trade groups, spent $2.3 million lobbying Congress in the first three quarters of 2013 on a range of issues, including the CFPB's regulation of dealer financing, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
"The hope here is that (the CFPB is) going to produce answers, it's going to produce transparency, it's going to produce information, so we understand the basis for this initiative," said Paul Metrey, the NADA's chief regulatory counsel for financial services issues.
Metrey also pointed out that auto lending was — and continues to be — a bright spot in a dour economy. The market didn't experience the widespread defaults or abuses seen in the mortgage market during the financial crisis.
Metrey and others say it's not clear whether a problem actually exists, and they worry an overzealous CFPB could hurt an otherwise healthy and competitive market.
GM's 'Shop-Click-Drive' program to eliminate showroom visits?
General Motors says it's expanding an online car-buying program that could all-but-eliminate a need to shop in a dealership showroom.
Emphasizing that the dealer still must administer the sale — which could be done outside the dealership — GM said its Shop-Click-Drive setup rolled out Nov. 6 out to all 4,300 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers in the U.S.
Wary dealers who suspect the system is meant to undercut them, or limit their chances to apply salesmanship to in-person customers, don't have to offer the program. But a dealer committee helped design Shop-click-Drive and it's expected to become popular.
"You have all those millennials out there and they're used to buying stuff online and they don't understand, 'Why can't I buy a car online?'" said GM spokeswoman Ryndee Carney.
Even though, strictly speaking, it's still not quite buying a car online because a dealer has to be involved.
The automaker calls it a "dealer online retailing tool" that piggybacks onto the dealership's own website. As GM describes it, the online system allows shoppers to outfit a vehicle with preferred equipment, get a price estimate, check for incentives and financing deals, get a rough trade-in value for their current vehicles and even apply for loans.
GM ran it as a pilot program at 100 dealerships in eight states for about a year. Carney said about 1,000 vehicles have been sold that way and "fewer than 10" buyers decided to handle the transaction entirely away from the dealership.
Dealers found it gave higher-quality leads than those from third-party sites. Shop-Click-Drive shoppers were turned into buyers about 30 percent of the time, considered a high rate of "closing," GM said.
"We want to make it easier and simpler for dealers to connect with customers who are looking to combine the convenience of online shopping with the personal service of a neighborhood dealership," GM's Vice President of U.S. sales, Kurt McNeil, said in a statement.
The car company is nervous that Shop-Click-Drive could be seen as a move toward niche automaker Tesla's controversial approach of selling directly to buyers, skipping dealerships. GM says it wants no part of that. Even if it did, it'd be tough luck.
Dealers have insulated themselves from exclusion via strict state franchise laws requiring a sale to be handled, in some fashion, by a dealer.
Some dealers in the pilot program offered a concierge-like service, delivering cars for test drives and handling paperwork at the buyers' home or office, if a sale were made. Carney said GM is encouraging, but not requiring, all dealers who use Shop-Click-Buy to offer that type of concierge service.
It's unclear whether dealers widely will embrace that type of service. They make a large share of their profits from so-called F&I, or finance and insurance.
Their specialists sell the buyers a loan, marking up the discounted interest rate the dealers obtain from lenders, and sell extended warranty and service contracts at large markups Their F&I specialists believe they can be more persuasive in person than online.
So-called millennials not only are the most technologically savvy age group, they also are the most willing to pay extra for advanced features in cars. Still, their budgets are limited while generally such features are still associated with luxury vehicles.
According to the study, three-quarters of people in Generations Y (ages 25-34) and Z (18-24) rank among the "most tech-interested" segments of car buyers. Both those generations were significantly above average — 70 percent of Gen Y and 61 percent of Gen Z — in reporting to be "especially interested" in car tech.
"These two groups also indexed well above-average in their willingness to pay extra for a variety of advanced car technologies, including visual warning of nearby emergency vehicle activity, seats that automatically go to driver's preferred position, and spill-proof car devices," according to a news release.
Meanwhile, Generation X (ages 35-44) showed average willingness to pay for new tech, while baby boomers (45-64) showed the least.
Jeff Campana, senior vice president of GfK's automotive team, said those younger generations are highly attuned to the benefits of mobile technology, as well as safety and cleanliness features.
Campana said the study's results indicate an opportunity for automakers to engage these buyers by bringing more affordable, advanced devices and services to small and midsize cars.
• Nearly 25 percent of car owners have a special name for their car.
• More than 31 percent were inspired by the vehicle's color and appearance.
• At 36 percent, car owners between the ages of 18 and 34 are more likely to nickname their cars.
• Women are more likely to have a nickname for their cars than men: 27 percent versus 17 percent.
• Men are more likely than women to name their car after a famous or historical person or a character in a movie.

Coalition asks Congress to not use COVID-19 recovery money to fund T-Mobile's merger commitments
Multiple organizations authored a letter calling on Congress to ensure that the uncarrier can't use COVID-19 recovery funding
The Communications Workers of America (CWA), New America's Open Technology Institute, the Rural Wireless Association, NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association, the American Economic Liberties Project, and Free Press Action sent a letter yesterday calling on Congress to ensure that T-Mobile does not receive COVID-19 recovery funding to meet the merger specific build-out commitments it agreed to when it sought approval of the T-Mobile/Sprint merger from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Department of Justice, state attorneys general, and state public utilities commissions.
"The New T-Mobile has repeatedly and emphatically claimed that as a direct result of the merger, it would have the necessary resources to deliver 5G to millions of square miles of the U.S. and hundreds of millions of Americans, including those living in and traveling through rural America," the letter says. "[T]o the extent there will be additional stimulus recovery measures Congress needs to make sure T-Mobile does not receive funding as a corporate handout to meet commitments it already made based on synergies that it lauded to get its deal done."
The groups also point out that the FCC specified that its decision to approve the merger "would be conditioned on the network build out commitments of the licensees to provide 5G service to a large portion of the U.S. population, including rural areas."
"Congress must hold the new T-Mobile accountable for the promises it made to ram the merger through the approval process," said CWA Director of Government Affairs Dan Mauer. "T-Mobile promised that the merger would give the company the resources to build out 5G to nearly the entire U.S. population, including rural areas. COVID-19 recovery funds should be used to address the crisis caused by the pandemic, not as a corporate handout to help the new T-Mobile fulfill the promises the company was eager to make to push this merger through."
"On April 1, 2020, on his first day as CEO of the 'New' T-Mobile, Mike Sievert said: 'We've had eight quarters of blockbuster results during the pendency of this merger of T-Mobile, and nothing has changed in our long term thesis — this is about bringing together these two companies and the uniquely positioned assets of the two, to unlock the potential of massive scale, and invest that, the synergies from that massive scale into creating the world's best 5G network.' Even amid the COVID-19 crisis and resulting global economic turmoil, T-Mobile acknowledges that the synergies it gains with the Sprint merger means that it does not need any type of economic assistance from the U.S. government. RWA has come to the same conclusion and urges Congress to allow this new behemoth to stand on its own without government support," said Carri Bennet, General Counsel for the Rural Wireless Association.
"T-Mobile's takeover of Sprint will mean fewer choices and higher prices for people who need essential communications services," said Free Press Action Vice President of Policy Matt Wood. "Hundreds of millions of people are struggling right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis, and Free Press Action has called on Congress to provide billions of dollars in funding to keep people connected to the internet while they're staying home and trying to stay online. But while increased public investment in broadband connectivity and affordability is exactly what the country needs at this moment, T-Mobile certainly does not need and should not get any taxpayer money just to keep the overblown promises it made to sell its merger."
"T-Mobile has promised the government that its anti-consumer, anti-worker merger with Sprint will reap benefits for the public," said Joshua Stager, Senior Counsel for New America's Open Technology Institute. "Congress must hold T-Mobile accountable for these promises, and that includes ensuring that T-Mobile receives no taxpayer money to fulfill these promises. T-Mobile is already in a position to raise prices and stifle competition—they don't need corporate welfare to boot."
For nearly two years, T-Mobile argued that as soon as it could join forces with Sprint, it would be in a position to compete effectively against AT&T, Verizon, and other telecom and cable industry giants by offering numerous "compelling public interest benefits" to America's broadband consumers. New T-Mobile made the following merger-specific buildout commitments to expand coverage and increase download speeds to rural America to convince the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice to approve the merger:
New T-Mobile will offer download speeds of 25 Mbps or more to 84% of America's rural POPs by 2024.
New T-Mobile will offer download speeds of 25 Mbps or more to 2.4 million square miles of rural America by 2024.
New T-Mobile will offer "outdoor" coverage to 99% of America's rural POPs by 2024.
New T-Mobile will bring 5G to at least 99% of the U.S. population receiving download speeds of 50 Mbps or more by April 1, 2026.
New T-Mobile will bring 5G to at least 90% of the U.S. population receiving download speeds of 100 Mbps or more by April 1, 2026.

As of Tuesday 2 April 2019, the Atelier is moving to a new space in the Salamanca Arts Centre. Space 123 is accessed via Wooby's Lane. You will see my sign in the doorway to the left under the 'Founder's Room' sign, Head up the stairs to the first floor and then to the right and there is the new atelier.
The new workshop is large and bright with windows facing onto the lane. I look forward to welcoming you to the new space.
If you are looking for me and unsure where to find me, please call 0422945752 and I will provide directions, or wave out the window.
Do you use Tasmanian timber?
It is one of the questions I am asked most often in the atelier. The curious tourist wanders into the workshop, drawn in by the smell of varnish, the trail of curly wood shavings and the warm timber glow of the instruments and bows. They take a moment to look around and then they ask the classic questions which have become almost inevitable. Firstly they cast a hand around the racks of instruments hanging and ask " DId you make all of these?", then its "Do you use Tasmanian timber?" and often, the last question is " So, what is your real job?".
My answer to the Tasmanian timber question has been, largely " No.". I did build a couple of instruments from King Billy Pine and Blackwood some time ago, but the tonal qualities of traditional, quarter sawn, maple and spruce from Europe, air-dried for a decade and selected with love by my German supplier is very hard to beat.
I have also trialed several Tasmanian species for bow making: Musk, Horizontal Scrub, Native Olive, Mountain Tea Tree, Dog Wood and She-oak, but none of them is strong enough. The need to replace Pernambuco, the endangered Brazilian rain forest timber used in traditional bow making, is ever-growing as the USA CITES authority cracks down more and more on listed products entering US borders. It would be incredible to find a timber with equivalent strength and flexibility in Tasmania - a sustainable replacement.
Tasmanian timbers are extraordinarily beautiful and I am very pleased to use them in my work. I have hand carved these stunning double bass tailpieces from Tasmanian Blackwood. These stunning tailpieces are significantly lighter than standard models. This, together with the superb wood selection, results in a superb tone with quick response and projecting sound.

The Lonely Land, By Sigurd F. Olson quantity
"There are few places left on the North American continent where men can still see the country as it was before Europeans came and know some of the challenges and freedoms of those who saw it first, but in the Canadian Northwest it can still be done".With these words Sigurd Olson begins The Lonely Land, the breathtaking account of a five-hundred-mile Canadian canoe journey. Olson and five companions retraced the waterways used by the Voyageurs, the Hudson Bay traders, and a succession of adventurers who used the mighty Churchill River as a major waterway from Hudson Bay to the Mackenzie.
Now available for the first time in paperback, The Lonely Land tells two stories: that of Olson's expedition and that of the Voyageurs who came before them. The text is illuminated by historical quotes, maps, and research about life on the Churchill during the fur-trading years. But each chapter is driven by the beauty and challenges that faced Olson's group.
The Lonely Land is a tribute to the unspoiled beauty of the deep wilderness and the rugged individuals past and present who take up a canoe paddle to explore it.

Toolkit for Primary Care Providers Treating Refugees

Update January 2015: CDC Guidelines have changed since this Toolkit was created and some of the information in the Toolkit is out of date. The entire Toolkit is still available as an example of collaboration and best practice, with the caveat that it is no longer up-to-date.
Health screening for refugees entering their new communities differs across the United States. The Toolkit for Primary Care was created in King County, WA and reflects conditions solely in this community site. It may not be appropriate or accurate for your locale. See below for guidelines on adapting the toolkit.
The Toolkit for Primary Care (available in sidebar) is designed to provide your clinic with:
Information about medical assessments and interventions that occur as part of the refugee resettlement process.
Tips on accessing your patient's previous medical information.
Suggestions on health screening priorities in the primary care setting.
Links, referrals and other relevant information to provide health care to refugee patients.
Toolkit: Background and Need
There are approximately 40-42 million displaced people in the world. Of this total number, approximately 16 million are refugees and asylum seekers (others are internally displaced populations). Each year an average of 120,000 individuals are proposed for resettlement to a 3rd country for permanent asylum. In 2010, the United States accepted 73,293 refugees. Washington State accepted 3,004 newly arrived refugees. During 2010 and 2011, Washington State consistently ranked 8th in arrivals and 6th in affirmative asylees. (US Department of Homeland Security, Office of Immigration Statistics, Annual Flow Report, 2011). Over half of the new refugee arrivals in Washington resettle throughout King County, predominately in South King County.
Many community health clinics are unfamiliar with refugee resettlement processes (including the limited duration of refugee benefits), the overseas health screening, and the health screenings that occur once a refugee is in the United States. While the domestic health screening focuses on detection of communicable diseases, some public health clinics also provide basic health literacy information and information about ethnic-specific resources available in the community. The screening tests performed differ by each local health district across Washington State, however, all refugees have up to 8 months to receive their benefits, upon which time their primary medical home should be established.
Primary care providers in South King County are serving an influx of refugee patients who are seeking care in the U.S. health care system for the first time. Many refugees experience marked disparities in infectious and various chronic diseases. Many new arrivals have serious health conditions needing immediate attention and follow-up. In addition to contagious diseases, many refugees have experienced trauma, may be suffering from mental health conditions, hypertension, diabetes, skin, vision and dental problems, and/or malnourishment. In particular, refugees resettled in the U.S., the U.K., and Australia have been shown to have an increased risk of suffering from malnutrition, anemia, lead poisoning, tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, hepatitis, and intestinal parasites (Ackerman, 1997), (Lifson et al. 2002), (Miller et al. 2000), (Varkey et al. 2007).
Although resources exist to increase health care providers' knowledge and understanding of the unique cultural and medical contexts in which refugees experience health and health care, there is often a lack of coordination among the various health and social systems that provide initial orientation to newly arrived refugees. Ineffective coordination across critical systems can be detrimental, putting providers who are less-resourced at a disadvantage in their efforts to provide high quality health services, and having a negative impact on the health and well-being of refugee patients seeking care. Primary care providers, resettlement agencies and Public Health refugee screening clinics could benefit from greater coordination of care and information sharing. Primary care providers in private or small community clinics typically do not have extra training or resources to effectively serve the refugee population.
Method for Intervention
The "Toolkit for Primary Care Providers" grew as a cross-sector community response to the increasingly adverse effects refugees were having as they were encountering healthcare in South King County in Seattle, Washington. The toolkit consists of health screening and treatment information, referrals, links & resources, as well as the patient's individual health records and language identification card. The "Toolkit for Primary Care Providers" packet was developed by an interdisciplinary team of health professionals including social workers at Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW), a graduate student at the University of Washington and a group of physicians at the International Medicine Clinic at Harborview Medical Center. Input was also provided by public health nurses from Public Health Seattle & King County (PHSKC) who have been distributing the toolkits to recently arrived refugees at the Public Health Refugee Screening Clinic in their downtown office. The packet is distributed to refugees upon their initial visit. Refugee families or individuals are then encouraged to bring the packet with them when they visit their primary care provider.
The primary audience for the toolkit is primary care providers. The toolkit is intended to:
Explain overseas PRE-departure assessment and POST-departure screening needs
Facilitate exchange of information between Public Health Refugee Screening & primary care providers
Share links, referrals & other information, including contacts to interpretation services
Advocate and empower refugee patients
The intervention also aims to reduce barriers to health services that add to health disparities among the refugee population including under-utilization of health care. It is hoped that the toolkit will decrease health-screening duplications and facilitate deeper communication among the providers that provide initial cultural and medical orientation to newcomers throughout King County.
The information contained in the Toolkit may be updated periodically based on recommendations set forth by CDC.
The Toolkit
The Toolkit can be viewed and printed in its entirety (12 pages). It can also becan be viewed and printed in sections. The entire toolkit and individual sections are all available in the Resources sidebar. Descriptions of individual sections are below.
Health Assessments for Refugees
This page includes information about: Oversees pre-departure medical examination; Class A and Class B conditions (medical conditions that deem a refugee inadmissible, or require immediate follow-up); An overview of domestic refugee health screening in King County; and Provider tips for obtaining patient records in King County.
Checklist for Primary Care Providers: Refugee Health Assessment

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Republican Gov. John Kasich is opening all of Ohio's public roads to smart vehicle testing.
The order extends Kasich's efforts to make Ohio a hub of smart vehicle research and development. It urges participating projects to sign up with DriveOhio. That's a new state office he created in January to coordinate several state offices through a "one-stop shop" for autonomous or connected vehicle developers.
The order requires participating vehicles to meet certain safety requirements and to be capable to comply with all Ohio traffic laws. It reserves Kasich's right to suspend non-compliant projects.
Locally, the University of Cincinnati hired professor Jiaqi Ma to build a testing lab that will include an autonomous driving simulator.
Eventually, the lab will have its own car.
"The student can develop algorithms and put them on the vehicle and test them on some test track," he said.

The Blue Hive: the drink that shines a light on the community that is Manchester
More than a cocktail
Charlie Hooson-Sykes
We all recognise that blue bottle of gin on the back bar. It's been there long enough to be part of the furniture. Almost.
But Bombay Sapphire, one of the biggest gin brands in the world, isn't one to rest on its laurels.
So they laid down a challenge. Ten bars – including Manchester's very own Science and Industry – were asked to create a cocktail using one of its ten botanicals.
I caught up with Massimo Zitti and his partner in booze Luca Rudlin who were selected by Bombay Sapphire to represent one of the botanicals.
"Luckily enough, we got got selected to have the grains of paradise, which sounds cool," says Massimo.
"The drink is a twist on the French 75. I love a French 75. Who doesn't love a French 75? And we just wanted to work with as many people as possible. That's why we called it the Blue Hive.
"What happened in Manchester over the past three months – the tragedy has brought us closer together. The reaction was incredible. So we looked specifically at collaborations.
"We work together and every time we do an event, any project we do, we collaborate with different breweries. Local breweries can make beer, but they can also carbonate professionally – that was my idea. We can make a drink that will be really carbonated."
Carbonation in drinks is nothing new. It's the ability of a brewery to use specialist equipment to carbonate their beer that makes the difference to the Blue Hive.
They turned to a past collaborator, Outstanding Beer, for help.
"The beer is good, but the guy, Alex, is really amazing. He really loves what he does, which means everything.
"The second challenge was where do we get the honey from? We don't want to make a honey-based beer because that would be so expensive. We thought, we can make kombucha. So easy to make at home, and more importantly, there's no wastage."
So they made some kombucha and went to a honey-maker in north Manchester.
"They have some hives behind a church and they are super open to everyone. And they don't want any money. They gave us a massive pot of honey in exchange for donations. I only had £7 in my pocket!"
For Luca it was important for the honey to be local.
"There's a massive demand for local honey. Mancunians react better to Manchester honey because it's using nectar from flowers they smell every day. And it tastes of Manchester."
Finally, they needed to use the grains of paradise, which gives Bombay Sapphire its gentle pepper notes.
"We make an aromatic syrup with the grains of paradise – obviously a bit peppery – then we have a little a vanilla, a little lemon zest, a bit of valerian. The syrup is a little bitter to balance the drink.
"Finally, the blue colouring is from red cabbage. We extract the red colour, reduce it, change the acidity so it changes the colour, then create a dust. So the blue is on the glass, not in it."
The drink is the creation, but the story behind it is more important to both Massi and Luca.
"It's shone a light on the community that is Manchester. Manchester is a city, but it's also a community. Everyone knows everyone else. It's why we chose the Hive. It's Manchester bees within the hive. It's meant to fuse the music scene that we're part of, with local producers, different mixologists, and different collaborations from across the city."
If you want to try the Blue Hive, it's available at Science & Industry until mid-October.

Meat Loaf Says Health Issues Means He May Never Sing Again
Written by broebling on February 1, 2018
Meat Loaf has revealed that problems with his back have prevented him from singing for a year now, and that he may never be able to perform again. The 70-year-old artist has undergone a series of surgical procedures in an attempt to resolve the issues, but he's currently unable to move around his home without the aid of a walker. "You use everything to sing, and I just cannot do it," he said in a new interview, before insisting that he planned to keep fighting. Asked whether he'd attend the upcoming opening of the Bat Out of Hell stage musical, he said there was "not a prayer" of his appearance while he had to rely on the walker. "I don't have any business going out to where all the bars and bands are," he said. "They'd look at me and say, 'Who's the old guy? What's that old guy doing here?' No, man, I don't belong in those places."

Repair contract for Russia's aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov to be signed in April
The cruiser will emerge after repairs "much earlier than it was planned," the source added
Russia's heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov
© Lev Fedoseev/TASS
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1. /TASS/. A contract for the repair of Russia's heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will be signed in April this year, a source in the domestic defense sector told TASS on Sunday.
"All the necessary instructions have been given. But, as the process of signing the contract has quite a significant financial component, we expect to have a concrete document in April. The work was started last year, in October. It involved detecting faults, specifying the work volume and carrying out preparatory works," the source said.
The cruiser will emerge after repairs "much earlier than it was planned," the source added.
A source in the Russian defense industry earlier told TASS that the contract for the repair of the heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov was intended for three years and would be signed between Russia's Defense Ministry and the United Shipbuilding Corporation in the first quarter of 2018.

As soon as a company decides to implement a chatbot in their service process, the actual development of the chatbot can be completed in a matter of weeks. But what happens when the chatbot sees the light of day? When it encounters customers through live chat on the website, in Facebook Messenger or on WhatsApp for the first time. What are the first month of its life going to look like and how do you ensure a smooth start?
The effects of a chatbot on user behaviour can be well monitored with a soft launch. A soft launch is also recommended to eliminate possible functional errors without having too many users exposed to them. Soft launch means, that the chatbot is introduced step by step, so that only a limited number of website visitors (e.g. 10%) can see it at the start. While constantly monitoring KPI's, the number is increased until the chatbot is finally 100% visible. An additional possibility is to first show the chatbot on website page only, for example on the FAQ page, and then slowly implement it on other pages.
Also want to develop a chatbot? View our whitepaper!
The implementation of a chatbot is not a one-time thing. It needs regular maintenance to make it better – by providing it with new input, correcting its mistakes and adjusting its answers.
Customer needs can also change over time. New products may be introduced or external influences, such as the season, may change the nature of the frequently asked questions. A university or technical college that receives many questions about the choice of study subject in spring may receive completely different questions in autumn, e.g. about exams.
What metrics and KPI's should be monitored to check the chatbot?
To measure the effectiveness of the chatbot, the number of conversations it has been involved with is an important indicator. Also check, which part of the conversations was successfully completed by the chatbot and which part was handed over to a human employee. In order to determine how good the chatbot already is in recognizing the intention of the customer, the number of correctly classified requests and statistics on Natural Language Processing (NPL) should be looked at. In addition to these indicators, which reflect the performance of the chatbot, the effect on customers and employees should also be examined. Has the NPS score, or any other measure of customer satisfaction, changed positively? Have waiting times become shorter? Do customer service representatives have more time to deal with complex customer cases?
What effect can you expect in the first months with a chatbot?
Within the first months, the chatbot should become a fully integrated and accepted member of the customer service team. The workload of customer service employees should go down and they should have more time to advise customers on complex issues. Both the number of questions correctly classified (intent recognition) by the chatbot and the number of questions answered by it should have increased significantly. As a rule of thumb you can expect a chatbot at this stage to correctly recognize the intent of a message in 80% of cases and to participate in about 15% of incoming messages. Be aware though that these numbers strongly depend on the type of chatbot applied, on the number of tasks he is solving and on the input that it receives from the team to become better.

He peered through the ICU window into the patient's room. The patient was his grandfather, whom he endearingly called "Pa" since he was able to talk. Life support was being removed after two years of enduring ALS, the complications delivering their final blow.
Initially, he did not desire to stand at Pa's side as we removed the final apparatus. However, love had its way, and he was compelled by it to take part in a final farewell as angels attended. Deep emotion escaped with a tear, and I watched as my son stepped into new shoes.
Consider the shoes you've grown out of and the shoes you've grown into as God has allowed you experiences of both pleasure and pain. With each pair of shoes, we can chose to become a more integrated, enriched pilgrim on this journey through life. Sharing from the heart of personal experience, with authenticity, genuineness and transparency, is one of the greatest gifts you can give another.
New shoes can be stiff and awkward, becoming more comfortable with time. And that's just about when God will place before you, new shoes to step into.


RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's hard-charging Mohammed bin Salman, named crown prince on Wednesday, holds unusual power for a man of just 31, so much so that diplomats nickname him "Mr Everything".
The son of King Salman has risen to become Saudi Arabia's most influential and prominent figure since being named second-in-line to the throne in early 2015. He symbolises the hopes of a youthful local population, more than half of which is under 25.
Prince Mohammed is the main proponent of a wide-ranging plan, dubbed Vision 2030, to bring social and economic change to the oil-dependent economy of a country where women's rights are among the most restricted in the world. He also holds the post of defence minister more than two years into a Saudi-led military intervention in neighbouring Yemen.
Born on August 31, 1985, the prince amassed "extraordinary power and influence very quickly" after his father ascended the throne in January 2015, said Frederic Wehrey of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. "He's clearly very bright, very intelligent, very on top of all his briefs" and has significant influence on the 81-year-old monarch, one Western diplomat said.
As defence minister, the prince supervises the Saudi-led coalition's operations in support of the Yemeni government against Shia rebels who control the capital Sanaa.
In a profile last year, Bloomberg Businessweek said the prince works 16-hour days and draws inspiration from the writings of wartime British prime minister Winston Churchill and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War". It was one of many interviews in which the prince has spoken at length about his economic plans for the kingdom, where officials are traditionally tight-lipped.
In a rare press briefing in April last year, he seemed relaxed as he took questions from the domestic and international press for about 50 minutes. Wearing typical Saudi attire – sandals, a crisp white thobe and headdress – he leaned on a white podium and sometimes rubbed his eyes, replying in Arabic to questions posed in English.
A law graduate from Riyadh's King Saud University, the dark-bearded prince with a receding hairline is the father of two boys and two girls and – unlike other members of the royal family — has married only once. He told Bloomberg that although Islam allows for multiple marriages, modern life does not leave the time.
"He has a reputation for being aggressive and ambitious," Bruce Riedel, a former Central Intelligence Agency officer who directs the Brookings Intelligence Project in Washington, has said.
At his 2016 press conference, Mohamed was self-effacing about a comment that his name would be "remembered in the future". "I am one of the Saudi citizens, and the Saudi citizens too will be remembered in the future," he said.


Broadway and musicals are a perfect couple. However, problems arise when you decide to add another to the relationship: the medium of film.
On stage, energy is easy to sustain – and that is likely where The Last Five Years shines. Yet on film, the uneven narrative rhythm and lack of invention drags this musical into mediocrity.
The miscasting of Jeremy Jordan as the love interest is the greatest hindrance; arrogant and annoying throughout, it's unclear why his costar would desire him.
Thank goodness for Kendrick – her performance saves the day, injecting energy and empathy into an otherwise forgettable feature.
Nothing truly fits in this mismatched musical, but luckily Anna Kendrick delivers an excellent performance to bring about a so-so final product.
SYNOPSIS: A struggling actress and her novelist lover each illustrate the struggle and deconstruction of their love affair.


POSCO has once again been awarded for its outstanding performance by being named the world's most competitive steelmaker.
The World Steel Dynamics (WSD), the world's leading steel information service, held the 30th Steel Success Strategies (SSS) forum on June 9, where they announced the results of the World-Class Steelmaker Rankings.
The announcement distinguished POSCO as the world's top steelmaker for the eighth consecutive time in six years.
The WSD evaluated 36 steelmakers from all corners of the globe in 23 categories including production capacity, profitability, technological innovation, cost competitiveness, cost savings, financial stability, and procurement, as of June 2015.
As a result of focusing on the enhancement of core corporate competitiveness by growing the sales of high value-added premium products and solution marketing founded on technology, POSCO acquired an average of 7.91 points, with a maximum score of 10 points in technological innovation, putting the Korean steelmaker at the No.1 spot.
According to the WSD's rankings, following POSCO was the second-ranking American mini-mill steelmaker Nucor Corp., having reaped the benefits of the shale gas developments that coincide with the recent recovery of the steel market in industrialized nations. Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal of Japan ranked third, demonstrating rising sales related to increased export competitiveness under the Abenomics policies. Brazil's Gerdau came in fourth, followed by Severstal of Russia. Hyundai Steel of Korea ranked ninth for the second consecutive year.
During the Steel Success Strategies forum, which was held under the theme "Just the Beginning," it was forecasted by the WSD that the global steel industry would continue at its current slow pace for some time after assessing the short-term market conditions from 2015 to 2017. On the bright side, the organization noted that the global steel industry should recover some momentum and see improvements in the raw materials market from 2017. This, of course, is uplifting news as POSCO continues to move forward.

What do you think is one of the biggest misunderstandings about cyber security?
That the cyber security scope of interest includes conventional information technology (IT)-type systems and applications. Cyber security has, as its focus, operational technology (OT)-type systems and applications in a critical infrastructure context.
How important is it for physical and IT security professionals to work collaboratively?
Very. Logical access controls on remotely, and isolated, hardware devices are of little protection if physical protection measures can be circumvented to compromise device integrity, and act as a beachhead for unauthorized network ingress and reconnoitering.
What will be some of the more important takeaways from your session?
· "Scope of interest" and "universe of discourse" are two (arcane) terms that you will grow to appreciate over time.
· This is not a drill. For your own good, adopt a programmatic approach to cyber security assurance.
· Culture eats strategy (and technology) for breakfast. No matter how defined your cyber security strategy may be, it will be destroyed by dark organizational culture.
· If your understanding of cyber security does not include architecture, you will necessarily (a) place the sustainability of your organization's cyber security efforts in peril, and (b) make dangerous, and indefensible, assumptions about its design and operation.
· Grow up: you don't know everything about cyber security, and hero culture is dead. If partnerships and intelligence exchange were ever considered critical for success generally, they are absolutely essential in the cyber security assurance context.

Scottie Pippen Fight: Fan Spit On, Called Him N-Word, Source Says
By Megan Anderle | Wednesday, 26 June 2013 12:48 PM EDT
New details have emerged regarding the weekend altercation between former Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and an autograph-seeker who was hospitalized with a head injury: the fan spit on Pippen and called him a racial slur, according to the New York Daily News.
A source told the Daily News the retired NBA star was on the defense Sunday night in the parking lot of Malibu's Nobu restaurant. The fan started the tussle; spitting on the ex-athlete, shoving him, and calling him the N-word. Pippen was also holding his 4-year-old daughter at the time, the source said.
Special: Should Gay Marriage Be Legal? Vote in Urgent Poll.
"Can you imagine, you're out to dinner with your wife, your four kids and your mother-in-law, and someone calls you the N-word and starts to get physical?" the source told the Daily News, calling the alleged victim's story a "crock."
Another source told TMZ that the man sat down at Pippen's table inside Nobu when one of his guests went to the bathroom. The man badgered Pippen with questions, but Pippen bit his tongue, politely asking him to leave.
Pippen, who was questioned on Monday for about an hour, was wanted on suspicion of assault with intent to commit great bodily injury. He has not been charged.
Authorities told the Chicago Tribune that the diner, who appeared intoxicated, took several photos of Scottie Pippen and his family inside the restaurant as they ate. When Pippen and his family were leaving the restaurant, the man reportedly followed them out to the parking lot seeking Pippen's autograph, at which point the argument and alleged assault ensued.
The victim was sent to a local hospital with a head injury and released on Monday.
The source claims Pippen did not hurt the fan and that his lawyer, Mark Geragos, was mulling a counter claim against the autograph-seeker for assault and making a false police report.
"When Scottie left, this guy had no injuries," the source told the Daily News. "Scottie is very upset about the way this has been portrayed."
An Arkansas native, Pippen is one of the most decorated NBA veterans, winning six league titles with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in 11 seasons. His NBA career lasted 17 seasons and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010.
