This new series by David L. Zwang focuses on the processes and products that can lead to the transformation of your current workflows and business, to prepare you for the new challenges ahead. This series will run once a month beginning January of 2013. Zwang will look at process transformation and automation, and the steps you need to take to be successsful. He will also look at some of the current product offerings and how they are being, or could be, used to help you transform your business and strengthen your customer relationships.
The technologically driven changes in communications and market distribution have placed new demands on print and publishing service providers. These demands include cost and turn time pressures, new vertical integration requirements, and a host of new required services. While the state of the market and some of the newly required tools are starting to find some balance, most service providers have not made the necessary internal changes to adapt. Those who have will prosper, and those who have not will continue to struggle.
As a service business, your company is measured every day by many things. However, ultimately it is measured by your ability to deliver on a set of expectations. At times, that means doing whatever is necessary. As you all know, this can even get a bit ugly at times, but if you deliver on those expectations, and the client doesn't see what goes on behind the curtain, it all works. However, this approach is a stopgap measure that usually results in slow bleeding and the ultimate weakening of companies that choose to take this path.
This approach is also not the best way to look at transforming your business. Some companies think that 'plugging holes' in workflow by throwing people at it or making a quick hardware or software purchase are good solutions, and even transformational. Of course, this is perceived as the easy way, and if you can afford it, shopping for 'stuff' is probably fun as well. However, while these actions may provide some short-term benefit, it isn't usually the best long-term strategy. Especially with the direction print and mobile media has been heading, it is time to step back and look at what you have and where you are going. It is time to stop the bleeding and begin to gain the benefits that a truly automated workflow can bring.
So what are the steps necessary to begin the process of business transformation? While we will look at individual process tasks, requirements, some solutions and success stories throughout this series, there are a few key questions that need to be answered before you can begin a successful transformation process.
This first step is critical, since your goal for the transformation process will be to develop a roadmap of where you need to go and how to get there, and you must start from your current position. It is very important to fully understand where you are and what tools and skills you have to work with before you proceed.
You must start with a process map. Look at the all of the tasks from your customer-facing processes to order entry through delivery and billing. You should also extend this analysis even further to business development. Usually the best approach is to start by creating two workflow maps. One, map shows production flow and the other map shows the business transaction flow. In an ideal world, there are many intersections between the two, but it is usually easier to draw them separately and then look at where they currently intersect. The following is an example of a very basic flow that shows both production and business transaction. While this diagram is rather simple, each of the task boxes in the diagram can actually have a workflow of its own, which would also need to be detailed. That being said, it is always good to start simply and then expand on the detail. And don't forget that throughout the entire process, "the devil is in the details.".
The next step is to think about where your business is today, and where you would like it to be over the next 5 to 10 years. While it is always good to build new service offerings to support your existing client base, new services and new markets can also offer many great opportunities to acquire new customers as well as to gain more "share of wallet" from existing customers. And some of these new revenue streams can be built off of the strengths of your existing business team. Most businesses think it's a luxury to spend the time looking ahead, while in fact it's really a critical step in the ultimate survival and long-term growth of a business. Taking the time to go through this investigative step can provide real benefits in the needed transformation process and in growing your business. The other reason this step is important is that it can have both short- and long-term effects on your ultimate workflow designs and purchasing decisions. It can also earn you some short-term benefits that only require changes in process where you find inefficiencies, and these can often add up to a big impact on your bottom line. Keep in mind that workflow in many businesses evolved over time in a random sort of way. A problem arose, and a change in process was put in place to address that problem. Over time, this can result in unnecessarily complicated processes and procedures that have a negative impact on both your business and the perception of customers.
Completion of the first two steps allows you to begin to create a plan of attack.
What are the missing pieces?
Once you have addressed the first two questions, you are in a position to identify the missing pieces required to get you to your end-point vision and look at possible solutions. These pieces can include skill sets, infrastructure requirements, software and hardware tools, processes, etc. This step should not be rushed. Too often companies are convinced by vendors that they have the ultimate solution that will address all of the problems now and in the future. However, the reality is that any solution can be force fit to make it workable, but this approach will likely not offer the longer-term flexibility you need in any future process or business changes; they are simply more stopgap measures piled on top of those that might already be in place. Taking the time to investigate, and discussing your thoughts with internal staff, business partners, clients, and outside consulting resources will help you make the right decisions. When looking at solutions, it is also very important to look closely at the company who is selling them. Are they financially stable? Do they have a growth plan of their own, and does it track your needs? Do they have a history of delivering innovative solutions, keeping them up to date and well supported? Are they someone who you can trust to be there and work with you for the long haul, or are they in it for short-term gain? We will get into this much deeper in future articles, when we start to look at how you can begin to evaluate your choices in each area.
How can you get from here to there, and still maintain flexibility for the unexpected?
First of all, it is important to realize that you don't need to attack the whole plan at one time. That's why creating future workflow maps similar to the current maps previously discussed are also critical. The process of creating these future workflow maps helps you identify the benefits, visualize the tasks ahead, gauge your progress, and identify the best pieces to attack and in which order. During your investigations, you will undoubtedly find some "low hanging fruit," things that can be addressed quickly, easily, and with minimal expense. They should be identified and evaluated for immediate action. Even if these do not find their way into the final plan, they are likely to offer some significant short-term gain, or just help show the staff that you are serious about change. In any transformation, the technology and processes are usually fairly easy to implement; getting the staff on board and working with you is always the tougher part. So being sensitive to this, and establishing a top down directive from the beginning, is another key to a successful transformation.
In the next article in the series, we will look at business and production infrastructures, and some of the products and services that can be used to develop a forward thinking infrastructure. If you have any topics you think are important and would like us to cover, please let us know!
Wow. It seems like that diagram was designed before web2print and storefront driven workflows. Many of our PressWise customers design the templates that their customer use to create and inject artwork into their print system, so there is no 'preflight' requirement, as the editable elements of that template are hard wired to generate prepress ready PDF files, and the business data part of the order ( bill to, ship to, quantity, what paper, what finishing tasks ) come in directly to the Print MIS system with all that is required for print production.
Looking forward to future articles and diagrams that include things like APIs !
The "basic workflow" diagram doesn't really reflect many lower level tasks. Constrained design, as you identified, doesn't require preflight. But what % of print production is realistically a target for constrained design? APIs are undoubtedly an increasing requirement, as are the need for 'real' standards that allow for blind integration to disparate systems and workflows.
Good start to an interesting (to me at least) subject. I understood that the workflow diagram is VERY rudimentary. However, it's easy to get caught up by getting too granular and missing the overview. I always liked a simple diagram with sub-diagrams for the individual steps along the way.
I think you'll find that there are many more "decision" boxes (yes/no with potential cycling) than are noted in this overview article.
David, I agree with the questions you have asked..However, the CEO or owner needs to ask this first..Can I trust my IT leadership and organization to be honest with the current state so I may get to the desired state? Experience tells us no. Too many small and medium sized operations have IT leadership that has little interest in making a change to the technologies and infrastructure they put into place or the one they inherited. Why? Too much work to move off a legacy system that relies on people to push buttons and pull levers to move work from the customer through to invoicing using old code. Furthermore, these systems have been "refined" to serve too many specific client needs...meaning the clinet ask and IT said yes without understanding the downstream impact.
Thomas..you raise an interesting issue. I guess the first question would be; what is the role of the IT leadership in the organization? Normally IT should be in a supportive role to the business and production processes. The ultimate determination of workflows should be determined by the stakeholders in each of those areas, in consultation with others inside, and outside the organization if necessary.
Granted the IT staff may have a more intimate knowledge of the support structure, and I have seen some cases where they even use that knowledge as a way to hold on to a level of power in an organization. Although this isn't and shouldn't be the norm. Ultimately, building a complex IT infrastructure doesn't necessarily translate to efficient processes.
...."even use that knowledge as a way to hold on to a level of power in an organization." I agree completely. And I'll make the assertion this is the norm in certain markets. Is this the norm in in Multi-channel marketing services...no...you have to have the good tech to get the job done. However, in transactional print, you can have old, antiquated, limited tech and still get the job done. What you cannot do is get "other" work from the client becasue you don't have the tech and you end up losing what you have.

Rambles by Rivers: The Thames, 第 1 卷
作者:James Thorne
Google Play 上的图书
so delight to meet with, and to depict. It is called Day's Lock, and should not be overlooked. An island in the midst of the river is taken advantage of to form the lock, and is connected by rude bridges with the opposite banks. Beyond is the rustic church, with a few straggling roofs of the village, and these are backed by rich woods, which shut in the distance.
A mile below Day's Lock our river receives the Thame, from its confluence with which, according to the popular account, it takes the name of Thames. The Thame rises at Stewkley, in Buckinghamshire, through which county it runs for eighteen miles; it then enters Oxfordshire by the town of Thame, where it becomes navigable; in its after course, which is very winding, it passes by no place of importance till it reaches Dorchester, near which it falls into the Thames. Its entire length is about thirty-nine miles. Dorchester lies between the two rivers, but it is too important a place to notice in the present chapter.
CHAPTER VIII.
AN ANCIENT BISHOPRIC.
When men travelled by coaches in England, such of them as passed between Oxford and London by the Henley road, would most likely stay to change horses at a little plain town about nine miles from the learned city. Then it was a place of small note, and the business transacted in it depended a good deal upon its situation in a main line of traffic. That source of profit is lost now, and the little town is quieter than ever; its shops duller, its inhabitants idler. The inns that looked so flourishing once, are now decayed or decaying. Its occupation is gone. A stray rambler would stroll listlessly through it, with the kind of regret that is always excited by looking on an evil that cannot be remedied. If, however, when he reached the bridge at the end of the street he turned aside to look at the church, he would feel that in the story of the town, insignificant as it had appeared to him, there must be something interesting. Beautiful as the village churches in the western counties often are, this one is so striking from its size and general appearance being so disproportioned to the place to which it belongs, thathowever apathetic our rambler might be, he could scarcely fail to inquire about it.
Dorchester was a place of importance in the earliest periods of English history. By the Britons
it was called Cair Dauri: that is, according to Leland, the City on the Water; its site being near the junction of the Thame with the Isis. It was a station of some consequence with the Romans, who called it Durocina. Many Roman remains and some British have been found here; a Roman altar of stone was dug up a few years back; and numerous coins have at different times been discovered. A circular field at a short distance on the south of the town is thought to have been a Roman amphitheatre; and there is a military earthwork, supposed to have been formed by the same people in order to command the passage of the two rivers. It consists of mounds, and a fosse, which is now dry, except in winter or after prolonged wet weather. But it is with the Saxons that the interest of Dorchester commences. In their times this now unimportant town was the seat of the largest bishopric in England. I must tell the story of its foundation.
Somewhat more than twelve hundred years ago, there was in the monastery of St. Andrew at Rome a monk of the order of St. Benedict, a bold and virtuous man, and full of zeal for the propagation of the faith he professed. About thirty years before, St. Augustine had gone from the holy city into Britain to endeavour to effect the conversion of its inhabitants, and great had been the success of his labours. Moved by the reports thereof, and by the number of places said lo be still unvisited by those who had followed that great man, Birinus resolved to devote himself to the office of a missionary, and begged the assent of the Pope to his enterprise; offering to go to the inmost parts of the island, where none had hitherto penetrated, on this errand of mercy. Honorius I., then pontiff, encouraged him in his purpose, and he at once set out—not without a miracle, say his biographers. For finding, after he had embarked, that he had left one of his sacred utensils behind, and knowing that it would be useless, as the wind was fair, to ask the seamen to put back, he boldly stepped forth from the vessel and hastened along the sea, which bore him as though it had been solid ground. Having recovered his pallia, he returned and overtook the ship, to the great edification of the sailors.
After this it was not likely that he would be drowned: and it is hardly necessary to add that he landed in safety (a.d. 634) in the kingdom of the West Saxons.
His purpose was to pass beyond their territory; but finding how entirely ignorant they were, he spent a year in traversing the province. When he came to Dorchester, he found there Cynegil, the king, whom, after instructing, he baptized. Oswald, King of the Northumbrians, who was then at Dorchester, acted the part of godfather to Cynegil, whose daughter he afterwards married. Upon Birinus the king conferred the city of Dorchester as his see; it being the first bishopric, as Birinus was the first bishop created in these parts. The king's appointment was duly ratified by the pontiff, and Birinus erected an episcopal church, probably of wood. Here he resided for fourteen years, actively engaged, not alone in settling and ruling his diocese, but also in converting and baptizing the heathen in the surrounding parts, gaining for himself the reputation of a saint and the title of an apostle. He died in 650, and was buried in rrfts own church; but in 677 Hidda, one of his sue

We have used Jean to board our cats and dogs for almost six years. She has been truly amazing with all our animals and extremely accomadating when we have had last minute emergencies come up. Thank you Jean!!
Jean has always been excellent to our dogs. We use her quite often when we are travelling out of town. Our dogs are well taken care of and always in good temper when we pick them up. I recommend her to anyone.
We had been referred to Jean from a farmer. Back in 2000 we moved to Trenton Ontario. Jean picked up 'Tango' at the Toronto airport and took her back to her Kennel. As we drove across Canada, I phoned Jean every time we stopped and I cannot say enough about Jean's help in looking after our family cat. Jean you are tremendous and I would highly recommend you always.

Review Summary: Sounding brighter, fuller, and still brilliant.
Smith's legends abound: Johnny Marr being unable to reproduce the exact steps that went into crafting the oscillating, vibrato-flooded guitar line in "How Soon Is Now" (prompting Oasis' Noel Gallagher to later gush "You can't play what he plays….Even he's not as good as he is"); Morrissey delivering a scathing two-fingered salute ("you are a flatulent pain in the ass") to record label boss Geoff Travis on "Frankly Mr. Shankly,"; Marr challenging himself to write the best song he possibly could in one sitting and coming up with the near-perfect "Cemetry Gates"…which wasn't even released as a single. There's plenty more gems like this --- "Nowhere Fast," "Still Ill," "Rusholme Ruffians," "Half A Person" and "Girl Afraid" --- songs that another band would kill to have in their canon, but the Smiths left as B-sides or deep album tracks.
If you've got one of their many greatest hits collections, odds are you've constructed your own slightly jumbled, incomplete timeline of the Manchester foursome's glorious past. It's worth it then to purchase The Smiths – Complete, the remastered CD-box set of all the band's eight albums, to set the record straight. As a full body of work, it confirms the Smiths as one of the most critically acclaimed and influential British indie bands in history --- certainly the most important of the 1980's. At a time when much of England's pop music threatened to become synthesizer-driven, the Smiths kept guitar-centered rock alive and well in the UK, providing an essential bridge from 60's jangle pop and 70's post-punk to 90's Brit pop and indie music beyond.
As a songwriting duo, Morrissey and Marr were as close a reenactment of Lennon and McCartney as England could have hoped for. Morrissey was cerebral, sardonic, and among the most literate pop lyricists of the 20th century. His effusive, larger-than-life personality and wavy-limbed, cavorting stage presence (so overtly appealing to both sexes that only Morrissey would have the gall to proclaim himself "asexual") would come to serve as an archetype for the charismatic rock front man.
His counterpart, Johnny Marr, was widely regarded as one of the era's greatest (yet somehow perpetually underrated) guitarists and a studio technician of fearsome prowess. From "William, It Was Really Nothing" to "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" to "Ask" Marr had a way of coming up with guitar riffs whose elemental beauty was so obvious that, once you heard them, you'd swear they had always been transcribed in the universe's celestial tablature, simply waiting to be found by some lucky musician. Somehow, it was Marr who uncovered them all in a legendary 4-year recording span.
Morrissey and Johnny Marr are at the front of the remastered recording mix on nearly every song, so it's easy to forget how superb bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce were as well. On tracks like "Girl Afraid," "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "Girlfriend in a Coma," the duo supplied one of rock's most fluid yet forceful rhythm sections. "This Charming Man," for all its fantastic guitar work, will forever be known for having one of rock music's most instantly recognizable bass lines.
The Smiths were not the first band to blend sunny melodies with macabre, depressing lyrics, but they were one of the best. Death, whether it happened in a bus crash, at the rocky bottom of a cliff, or at the county fair, was a subject with which lead singer Morrissey seemed constantly enamored. When not fixated on mortality, he wrote about his countless other obsessions, including loneliness, love and, of course, himself. Strikingly good-looking, effeminate, and scathingly humorous, Morrissey implored fans to "scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen," and by God, a handful actually did it. When he plainly admitted "I don't dream about anyone, except myself," critics adored his delicious juxtaposition of honesty and English irony.
Take "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want," a B-side Morrissey once called "the quintessential Smiths' song." Under most circumstances, a twenty five-year old pleading "For once in my life, let me get what I want/Lord knows, it would be the first time" would be an exercise in spoiled, pretentious self-pity. Yet Morrissey's earnest delivery sold his missive completely. He's the poet laureate of every insecure narcissist who wallowed in melancholy, who went out to clubs but always went home alone, who cried and wanted to die, who nonetheless insisted that "my faith in love was still devout" --- in a phrase, a typical teenager.
Besides their superb musical gifts, the Smiths remain essential because their message continues to resonate with each new generation of young adults, all of whom experience the same carnal urges, acute self-awareness, and soul-crushing ennui that Morrissey so eloquently articulated as being "sixteen, clumsy, and shy." On "Sheila Take a Bow," when Morrissey asked "How can one so young sing words so sad?" he already knew the answer. He had lived it. And by sharing it, Morrissey made life a little more bearable for the rest of us. After all, in perhaps the band's greatest song, Morrissey would insist that in spite of our unending confusion and gloom, there is a light (above us, beyond us, and mostly within us), and it never goes out.
While their individual albums were by no means flawless (save perhaps masterwork The Queen is Dead), the Smiths' complete body of work* represents pop music in one of its most perfected forms. Their unwillingness to record or tour again only stresses their catalog's finality and further enhances the band's already considerable mystique. While the lack of unreleased material in this box set may frustrate some fans, it confirms one of the most impressive facts about the Smiths --- they held nothing back, essentially releasing everything they ever recorded. Only a couple of artists (the Beatles and Led Zeppelin immediately come to mind) have released as much music of such exceptional quality in such a brief period of time as the Smiths, and similar to those bands, a best of collection doesn't begin to tell the whole story. Unless you own all of their albums already, be prepared to fork over the sixty bucks** for The Smiths – Complete. It's a bargain.
*Ironicallly, even The Smiths – Complete is not complete. It's missing b-sides "Wonderful Woman" and "What's the World." Go figure.
**The Smiths – Complete comes in two different versions: a $60 CD-only box set containing remastered versions of the band's eight albums or a $400 limited-edition "super deluxe collectors' box set" (only 3,000 made) that features the remastered versions of the eight albums on both CD and vinyl, all of the group's 25 singles on individual 7-inches, a DVD of music videos and a hodge-podge of prints and posters (a perfect Christmas gift for the obsessive-compulsive Smith's fan in your life.)

Yeah, its a long review, and I don't give a rat's ass. It's a goddamned box set.

Seeing as it's a complete discog I expected it to be longer :-p
dimsim3478
^It is not actually complete. B-sides, miscellaneous, other stuff...there's stuff that's not on here. But this is still pretty awesome.

Added the artwork for you. Was contemplating putting the full tracklist in but figured it would probably stretch your review out by miles

holy shit that first sentence/paragraph.
hey these are those sad dudes who sing songs about like being sad and unloved and stuff cool i like that
Tom93M
Downloaded this last night. I only had Sound of The Smiths and their first album so i'm looking forward to delving into the rest, especially when it's remastered as well as it is.
STOP SHOUTING!
there's also a b-side called jeanne that isn't on any of these.
Think it's available on Sound of The Smiths - on 2nd disc of the deluxe edition.
Just read this whole thing through and i have to say i enjoyed it. Great review; pos.
Stop Shouting, I believe the super deluxe version includes "Jeanne" as a B-side on "This Charming Man" 7 inch vinyl (plus you get the 320 kpbs versions too), which apparently makes Jeanne a $340 song.
This might be the best long review I've read, good job man.
clercqie
Great review, man.
I only have The Queen Is Dead, have to discover the rest.
clercqie, I'm jealous. You get to do what I cannot --- discover the rest of their catalog for the first time.
That first paragraph is golden
AliW1993
I have everything on here, but I'm still tempted by the set for some reason :/ Awesome review.
This is so well-written, great review.
Marr had a way of coming up with guitar riffs whose elemental beauty was so obvious that, once you heard them, you'd swear they had always been transcribed in the universe's celestial tablature, simply waiting to be found by some lucky musician.
Like, be serious. Pursue this writing thing.
also the smiths are good and stuff
Trebor.
Almost all of their songs are gold

damn i hadn't read this review until now, about as good as i'd hope a 'smiths complete' review would
be. nice job

They left out a few songs? Too funny. Maybe they plan on adding the few missing songs later and releasing it again as a "deluxe" edition.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee Tribute – Must Watch 3-Minute Video on Late Indian PM's Life
11 months ago .
This post is also available in: हिन्दी (Hindi)
Our beloved Former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee has passed away at 93. As a tribute to his unparalleled achievements, let's take a moment to reflect on how the Late PM contributed as the Prime Minister of India. In this article, you will get to know about Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his Early Life, Career Journey, his big & bold decisions taken while he was serving as Prime Minister & more!
Download this as PDF
Watch this old video to know more amazing facts about our Former Prime Minister & Bharat Ratna recipient Atal Bihari Vajpayee:
Atal Bihari Vajpayee – An Introduction
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the 10th Prime Minister of India, serving 3 terms; the 1st term for 13 days in 1996, the 2nd term for 13 months from 1998-99 and the final term, from 1999 to 2004.
He was the first non-Congress Prime Minister to serve a full 5-year term.
Currently, aged 93, Mr Vajpayee was the oldest living former Indian Prime Minister.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee & his Early Life
Mr. Vajpayee was born on 25 December 1924 in Gwalior, to Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee.
He did his graduation from Gwalior's Victoria College and post-graduation with an M.A. in Political Science from DAV College, Kanpur, with a first-class degree.
Political Career of Atal Bihari Vajpayee
He became Minister of External Affairs in 1977 and was the 1st person to deliver a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in Hindi.
Vajpayee formed the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980.
Big & Bold Decisions by Atal Bihari Vajpayee
During his term as Prime Minister, he made some very brave and bold decisions. Do you want to know about them?
#1. Pokhran Test
In May 1998, India conducted five underground nuclear tests in Pokhran desert in Rajasthan, 24 yrs after India conducted its first nuclear test (Smiling Buddha) in 1974.
This test is called Pokhran-II.
But, two weeks later, Pakistan conducted its own nuclear tests.
The response of the world leaders was a mixed one but the Pokhran nuclear tests were popular in India.
#2. Lahore Summit
Vajpayee initiated a new peace process to end disputes with Pakistan, with the historic inauguration of the Delhi-Lahore bus service in February 1999.
The result was the Lahore Declaration which initiated talks, expanded trade relations and mutual friendship between the two nations and also eased the tension created by the 1998 nuclear tests.
#3. Kargil War
In May 1999, it came to Vajpayee's notice that militants and Pakistani soldiers had infiltrated into the Kashmir Valley.
Indian army was immediately sent into Kashmir in response and the mission was named Operation Vijay.
The mission was launched in June 1999, where the Indian forces fought thousands of militants and Pakistani soldiers while facing extremely cold weather, heavy artillery shelling and deadly terrain at the high altitude.
Many soldiers died on both sides but Pakistan suffered heavy losses and finally, called its forces back, in July 1999.
The victory in Kargil made the image of Vajpayee as a bold and fearless leader.
26 July was later designated as 'Kargil Vijay Diwas'.
A. B. Vajpayee – Other Miscellaneous Facts
In December 2005, Vajpayee retired from active politics.
On 25 December 2014, the President of India announced the Bharat Ratna award, India's highest civilian honour, to Vajpayee and his birthday, 25th December, was declared as 'Good Governance Day'.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee – Lines from Poem 'मौत से ठन गई'
He truly was a national leader who let the youth of the whole nation towards development and self-dependency. Here are a few lines from this famous poems:
जूझने का मेरा इरादा न था,
मोड़ पर मिलेंगे इसका वादा न था,
रास्ता रोक कर वह खड़ी हो गई,
यूं लगा जिंदगी से बड़ी हो गई।
मौत की उमर क्या है? दो पल भी नहीं,
जिंदगी सिलसिला, आज कल की नहीं।
मैं जी भर जिया, मैं मन से मरूं,
लौटकर आऊंगा, कूच से क्यों डरूं?
तू दबे पांव, चोरी-छिपे से न आ,
सामने वार कर फिर मुझे आजमा।
मौत से बेखबर, जिंदगी का सफ़र,
शाम हर सुरमई, रात बंसी का स्वर।
बात ऐसी नहीं कि कोई ग़म ही नहीं,
दर्द अपने-पराए कुछ कम भी नहीं।
प्यार इतना परायों से मुझको मिला,
न अपनों से बाक़ी हैं कोई गिला।
हर चुनौती से दो हाथ मैंने किए,
आंधियों में जलाए हैं बुझते दिए।
आज झकझोरता तेज़ तूफ़ान है,
नाव भंवरों की बांहों में मेहमान है।
पार पाने का क़ायम मगर हौसला,
देख तेवर तूफ़ां का, तेवरी तन गई।
मौत से ठन गई।

Pokémon Download Titles Announced to Support Pokémon Games
I already know that there are plenty of you out there who can't wait to get your paws on Pokémon Black and White Version 2. These additions will add more to the already packed universe, but they will also bring along with them new ways in which to track your collected buddies.
"2012 is shaping up to be a great year for fans of Pokémon video games," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Not only can players look forward to a successor to one of the biggest Pokémon adventures ever, they can also enjoy two other titles that add to the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 experience, helping to expand their enjoyment when playing on Nintendo 3DS."
From the statement above, it was starting to sound like the Nintendo 3DS was going to be getting a full on release of its own. Instead, players will be playing the Nintendo DS versions on their 3D console.
Pokémon Dream Radar is a downloadable title from the eShop that is lookin' to provide more than just a regular old capture and fight experience. In this digital title players can utilize the augmented reality and camera to discover new Pokémon. After making an effort to "… shoot beams at them," the Pokémon can be uploaded transferred into the games. There are also promises of tough to find characters making the hunt worth it.
Simultaneously, the Pokédex 3D Pro will also be releasing into the eShop. The upgraded version will feature an AR mode to take pictures of Pokémon in real life. The update will also feature a new ranking system and stat comparisons in order to help you become the best trainer in the whole wide world. To aid in your ever expanding knowledge of the series, this 'dex will also feature characters from the entire series and not just the Unova region.
Both of the downloadable titles look great and should give players a little bit more to work with on the 3D console. It was kind of a letdown to not find solid standalone '3DS titles, but we can only hope that it will give us a bit more depth and experience for fans.

Research Square Reaches 20,000 Preprints
Research Square, known for their multidisciplinary preprint platform, reached 20,000 preprints just 18 months after its launch in 2018.
Posted April 20, 2020 by Jodi Harrell
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, USA - Research Square, known for their multidisciplinary preprint platform, reached 20,000 preprints just 18 months after its launch in 2018. Having recently celebrated 10,000 preprints in Dec. 2019, the platform doubled its number of preprints in the last 4 months and is effectively the world's fastest-growing preprint platform.
Research Square hosts preprints from all fields and is currently the #4 source of research on COVID-19 by volume of articles. Launched in Oct. 2018, the platform first began accepting submissions through In Review, a journal-integrated preprint service developed in partnership with Springer Nature. In that time, it's seen a surge in the number of preprints largely due to a 35% opt-in rate via In Review and a growing number of authors directly submitting to the platform.
The platform now hosts 360+ preprints related to SARS-CoV-2, and many authors are using Twitter and other forms of social media to discuss research findings. Reaching 20,000 preprints in such a short time is an important milestone and an indicator of researchers' changing behavior around how they publish their findings. During an outbreak, preprints provide an alternative way for researchers to rapidly share their results when the greatest number of people could benefit from their findings.
Amye Kenall, VP of Publishing and Product at Research Square, describes the changing preprint landscape:
"While preprinting is still not the norm among researchers, the current climate is creating a monumental shift in the way researchers share and build on their findings. In the past 3 months, we have doubled the number of preprints on the platform, and direct submissions to the platform have increased by more than 400%. We are excited to continue supporting researchers during this critical time."
In addition to preprints, Research Square provides author services from AJE, such as editing and formatting, as well as videos to help researchers better communicate their findings. Starting next month, preprint authors will be able to purchase badges to certify their preprint and demonstrate to readers that it meets established standards in scientific reporting.

About Research Square
Research Square is a mission-driven company focused on making research communication faster, fairer, and more useful. We do this by developing innovative software and services for the global research community. Our multidisciplinary preprint platform, launched in 2018, is now the world's fastest-growing preprint platform. Research Square is a five-time INC 5000 award winner and the parent company of AJE.

WESTERN Ky. (07/08/16) – Gov. Bevin has activated the state's prohibitions on price gouging to protect consumers during strong weather system that continues to affect a significant portion of the Commonwealth. The price gouging emergency order is effective as of 5 p.m. EST, July 7, 2016.
The emergency order triggers several consumer protection measures and will remain in place for 30 days, but may be extended past that time as needed. This order ensures that any instances of price gouging, including generators, building supplies, chainsaws, hotel rooms and other necessary goods and services at an exorbitant price in a time of disaster, will be fully prosecuted and held accountable.
Anyone with specific information regarding possible price gouging should contact the Office of the Attorney General at 888-432-9257 or e-mail consumerprotection@ky.gov.


getting a fastball." If the pitcher can put doubt in the hitter's mind, he might get away with throwing that fastball.
But the pitcher has to do a good acting job. If he shakes, then goes right into the windup — and there was no time to get a new sign — a smart hitter might know the shake wasn't real. And a fake shake usually means the pitcher is trying to convince the hitter that he's throwing something other than a fastball.
Another thing you will see is adding and subtracting. The catcher puts down two fingers for a curve. If the jersey is add and the pants are subtract, the pitcher can swipe a part of his uniform to change the call. A swipe of his jersey would add one and that curve (two fingers) becomes a slider (three fingers). If the pitcher swipes his pants to subtract, that curve (two fingers) becomes a fastball (one finger).
Bruce Chen sometimes uses adding and subtracting. When the opposing team sees him swipe, they know exactly what he's doing. But if they don't know what the catcher called originally, it doesn't help.
Whatever pitch is thrown, the catcher and pitcher need to have each other's backs. If the catcher tells the media that the ball that got hit out of the yard was the right pitch, but the pitcher didn't execute it well, the pitcher is going to quit listening to his catcher. The guy makes a call and won't stand by it? If the pitcher tells the media the catcher made that call and he never really wanted to throw that pitch, that's not going to go over so hot with the catcher.
Pitchers and catchers who work together well are on the same page. Bruce Chen said he might be thinking fastball in, but has doubts. If the catcher calls for a fastball in, the doubts disappear. He and the catcher are on the same page. But if Bruce is thinking fastball in, and the catcher calls for a changeup away — the complete opposite pitch — Bruce starts thinking that the catcher has seen something he's missed. Of course, that's if you trust the catcher, and that only comes with time.
Tim Collins says relievers shake off signs less than starters. Relievers throw fewer pitches, so there are fewer disagreements. And relievers are more likely to be going strength on strength. A reliever usually will see a hitter only once and don't need multiple ways to get the hitter out. The reliever often will go with his best stuff. If he has a mid-90s fastball and a good slider, he will stick with those pitches — and count on that to get the hitter.
Bottom line: If the game is moving quickly and you haven't seen a lot of shakes or mound visits, the catcher and pitcher are on the same page. If the game is dragging, the pitcher is constantly shaking and the catcher is wearing out the grass by visiting the mound, things aren't going that well.
Elliot Johnson already plays seven positions, but wouldn't mind pitching. "Every ballplayer wants to get on the mound." But until that happens, the hardest position he plays is shortstop. It is the most difficult but one of the most familiar. He has played a lot of middle infield.
When he goes to the outfield, Elliot has to remember to change the way he throws. Outfielders use a long arm motion. They drop their arms all the way down as they throw the ball. Infielders don't have time to use that long arm motion, so they don't let their arm drop down that far.
When he's using that longer throwing motion, Johnson also has to adjust his bottom half. If the footwork is finished too quickly — like an infielder — the arm is late because of the longer motion, the release point gets missed and the ball goes high.
Because he has to make this adjustment in his throwing motion, the coaches try to let Elliot know if he's going to be used in the outfield or infield that night. It changes the way he warms up his arm.
Keep an eye on the dugout. Somewhere after the fifth inning, Elliot will start moving around, getting ready to play. He will stretch and play catch in the indoor batting cage.
Also keep your eye on the scoreboard. If the game is a blowout, manager Ned Yost is likely to rest a starter, and Elliot will come into the game. If it's one-run game, Elliot is likely to get used as a pinch-runner, a pinch-hitter or a defensive replacement. If the score falls in that middle range — four or five runs — the manager is more likely to stick with his starters. At that point, the game isn't far enough out of hand to rest people, and one run doesn't mean much yet.
But no matter the score, Johnson has to get ready to play every night. You never know when the Royals will need another pitcher.
In the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Francoeur was clearly trying to go to the opposite field, fouling a couple pitches off down the right-field line before hitting a single to the right side. In the fifth inning, with Salvador Perez on second base, Jeff took a let-it-rip swing to start the at-bat, then went back to trying to hit the ball the other way and dropped a single into right, scoring Perez.
there? Then everybody would notice that nobody backed up third and the runner scored.
Mike Moustakas homered, but earlier in the at-bat, the Dodgers pitcher, Matt Guerrier, had him out in front on something off-speed (Mike said it was a splitter or changeup). Guerrier then tried to sneak a fastball past Moustakas, but it didn't work. The ball cleared the visiting bullpen.
Should Guerrier have stayed with his off-speed stuff? Mike said that was easy to say after the fact, and he's right. If Guerrier had continued to throw off-speed stuff and Mike then homered, it would have been easy to say that the pitcher needed to change speeds.
With nobody down and Francoeur on second, Elliot Johnson found himself in a 3-1 hitter's count. Was he still trying to move the runner over? Or in that count, was he trying to drive him in? Elliot said he was trying to drive the ball, but he still hit it to the right side. Johnson figures his role is to be the kind of hitter who gets the runner over, no matter what. Later — on a 3-2 count — he did just that.


In the current world, national and local political stratospheres, queer, trans, and gender non-conforming folks live between both a full and threatened existence. During the past decade it has been both an external and intra-community struggle to be represented, seen, and heard. As many march toward a more diverse, livable and inclusive LGBTQI2A+ community there has also been push back and erasure of such progress. Considering the oversimplification of multiple and intersecting identities, there is a need and a call to be celebrated not just for survival but also for moments of joy, hope, and worthiness. Veins of Existence: Beyond Survival acknowledges the blindspots in representing multiple identities and various cultural backgrounds.This exhibition highlights both current obstacles as well the pride that makes people fight for their greater community.

The Tell: Co-founder of George Soros's legendary Quantum Fund warns of the 'worst bear market of my lifetime'
Jim Rogers has been sounding the bear alarm for a while, and now that the market finally seems to be cooperating, the Rogers Holdings chairman is turning up the volume.
"I expect in the next couple of years we're going to have the worst bear market in my lifetime," he told Bloomberg in the wake of the worst first-quarter loss in the Dow's history.
Why so glum? Rogers explained that it's a combination of the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the economy, high-debt levels and lowly interest rates that will inflict damage when they start rising.
But for investors looking to keep some cash in play in the bruised stock market, Rogers, who co-founded the legendary Quantum Fund along with George Soros almost 50 years ago, talked about the "tried and true" approach to navigating such brutal stretches.
"There is absolutely no question that throughout history, when you've had bear markets, companies with low debt are the ones that people love the most because they don't have to worry about bankruptcy," said Rogers, adding that he's content to have "a lot of cash" on the sidelines.
When he senses the worst of the selling has past, Rogers said he'll look to buy shares in hard-hit areas like tourism, transportation, airlines and agriculture in China and globally.
Clearly, the sellers haven't exhausted themselves yet. At last check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -3.37% was down about 900 points while the S&P 500 SPX, -3.62% and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, -3.42% were firmly lower as well.

Heya SEOmoz Community! This is my first post here trying to share my experience with the most widely read and respected SEO blogs, so please be easy on me.
What I want to share today is a little technical and I am sure most you may have done something similar. In my own personal experience with working on SEO projects over the last four years, there have been numerous instances where a website undergoes a major revamp or you take up an ongoing SEO project and discover content indexation issues. The case I am specifically referring to is when you have a large number of old website pages that were not 301 redirected or removed using a 404 (not ideal) or just plain old content that lingers on in Google's index because it was just only delinked from the website's internal linking schema (we've all been there, right?). If a large number of such pages get collected over a period of time and are just forgotten about without realizing that they continue to reside in the Google index, you will very soon discover indexation issues with new content. Bear in mind that this would likely be the case for very large websites with hundreds of thousands of pages. With that as a background let's dive in!
To identify such pages, I'll break this post into three major parts and go into minute details.
Part 1: Create a list of all pages (or a sub-section of the website) on the website that would be discoverable by crawling the entire current internal linking structure/navigation schema. Xenu's Link Sleuth tool and Pivot Tables come in handy here.
Related reading: Here is an excellent post by Tom Critchlow: Xenu's Link Sleuth – More Than Just A Broken Links Finder and Distilled's Excel for SEO guide.
Part 2: Create a list of all pages (or the sub-section under consideration) of the website currently present in the Google index. The "site:" operator and SEOmoz's SEO toolbar come to help here.
Related reading: Post by Rand Fishkin on Indexation for SEO: Real Numbers in 5 Easy Steps and another one here by Kate Morris on Data Inaccuracies in Indexed Pages Lists.
Part 3: We'll put the two datasets from above together and use the VLOOKUP function in excel to identify all such pages that are present in the Google index but not discoverable in the current internal linking/navigation schema. These are the pages we are after that might be preventing new content from being indexed.
Ideally, you'll want to 301 redirect all such pages to the most relevant current page on the website or the next best option would be to redirect to the home page. If redirecting a large number of pages creates a technical hurdle, a 404 or URL removal request in webmaster tools might be another option. If you still want to maintain an archive of these pages for your users, you can create an archive section for these pages and use the "nofollow" attribute on links to these pages and "noindex" in the meta tag for these pages.
Related reading: Excellent post by Adam Audette on SEO Techniques for Large Sites (Orders of the Work: Expired Pages).
Let's just take a random live example for the purpose of this demonstration. I just thought about a random keyword "data warehousing appliances" and picked up the first website after Wikipedia. So, our example for this post for demonstration purposes only will be Netezza.
For the purpose of this post we will only use a section of the Netezza website – all pages under the sub-directory "data-warehouse-appliance-products".
The following steps in Part 1 are how to get just the HTML pages from that specific directory into an Excel file.
First head to the Xenu tool to index a list of current pages on the website. Here is how you do it.
Enter the website address and uncheck "Check external links". Once you have this report ready export it to a TAB separated file and save it.
Now, import this data into an excel spreadsheet by going through the following steps.
Keep everything as show above and click Next.
Keep everything as shown above and click Next.
You want to keep the Address and Type columns. For all other columns, select "Do not import column (skip)", then click Finish.
Under the Insert tab click on Pivot Table, select the entire dataset and choose where you want to place the output.
Now under the field "Type" only check "text/html".
Under the field "Address", go to Label Filters and select "contains".
Enter the name of the sub-directory you want to check. In this case, we will enter "data-warehouse-appliance-products" as shown below and click OK.
Now check the field "Type" first and then followed by "Address".
Now what you have is Part 1 of your required dataset.
You want to find all URLs in this sub-directory that are currently present in the Google index. To find this list, use the "site:" operator in Google as shown below.
Either append a "filter=0" in the SERP URL or click on "repeat the search with the omitted results included" at the bottom of the SERPs to make sure Google gives you all URLs from this sub-directory in its index.
Now use the SEOmoz toolbar to export all pages into a CSV.
Again, import the data into an excel spreadsheet as done above but make sure to check "Comma" as the delimiter this time. You only need the heading "URL" so keep it and delete the rest.
Now what you have is Part 2 of your required dataset.
Now open a new worksheet and enter the URL list from Part 2 (Google's index) on the left and the list of URLs from Part 1 (current URLs on the website) on the right. Use the vlookup (see the formula in the screenshot) function in excel to find all such URLs (with N/A under the heading "URL Found?" in the screenshot) that reside in the Google index but aren't currently discoverable in the internal linking structure of the website.
The URLs in the "URLs from Google index" that correspond with an N/A in the "URL Found?" column is your list!
I'd love to hear if you have any feedback or have experienced any similar issues and solutions you might have devised.
Rob Ousbey's Post on Indexation Problems: Diagnosis using Google Webmaster Tools and Kate Morris's post on Multiple XML Sitemaps: Increased Indexation and Traffic.
+Abdul Khimani is a Senior Search Strategist at gyro – a leading global B2B marketing agency.
Great Post!!!!! However was just wondering, since site: operator does not provide an accurate data, would it make more sense to actually use the data provided by Google WMT i.e. the number of pages indexed from our XML sitemap?
Also for websites with large number of pages implementing sectional sitemaps is probably the best way to understand indexation issues at the very root level.
Yes, the site: is not accurate. But, generally XML sitemaps are generated via site crawls. So it is possible to miss something.
That said, I don't think any of it needs to be a 100% accurate. Even if you can find some pages, you might be able to indentify patterns (a sub-direcotry for example) and trace the issue.
The 'site:' search operator seems to return better results for sites with less than 1,000 indexed pages.
I think that instead of relying on site: for indexed URLs, it would make more sense to look into Analytics and scrape all URLs which have received at least one visit since the site commenced.
I don't see the "Export to CSV" option in SEOMOZ's extension any more. Is this not available anymore? If not, is there some other way to get a list of URLs indexed by Google for your site?
As I think the crawler of google is the best bot of the world and whatever you submit in your sitemap will be crawled by it someday if you do not have any indexing issue.
Now my point is If your site: operator do not give you the exact result you can not call it wrong as it only display whatever is indexed and it will output only that. So I would request everyone please STOP saying that site: operator do not give accurate data.
Useful post but it's all contingent upon getting that list of indexed URLs, which can be difficult for a large site.
There are numerous sites offering to check 20-50 URLs for index status. (Search for "bulk indexation checker") but none available to check the thousands of pages on a typical enterprise site.
Why not just trust WMT for the list? A) Large complex sites have too many pages excluded via robots or non-index tags. Important pages can slip through the cracks. More importantly, B) I do not trust WMT data.
Why not just use Screaming Frog, IIS, SEOtools for Excel, Xenu or another site scraper, to check if a cached copy exists? Seems simple, just plug in a list of URLs like http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cac... and report which throw 404 errors. Unfortunately, Google dislikes this and forces CAPTCHAs after 30 or so.
2) Using the Moz toolbar and this search https://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.zappos.co... Export the SERP to CSV using the Mozbar then do it over again to the next 200: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.zappos.co... Merge & purge.
The idea would be to use either method to generate a list, then check it against a site crawl/sitemap file to see if all important pages are indexed.
QUESTION: Does anyone know of a better method than 1 or 2 above? I'd be happy to share the results of my research with anyone similarly interested.
Interesting that you didn't mention the use of 410's anywhere? What are your thoughts on using them vs. 301'ing missing pages back to the homepage?
Hi Matthew - it depends. If you plan on reusing expired URLs (example: ecommerce sites), it makes sense not to redirect. But, if the content has expired and won't come back, you might want to transfer value to your new content so it picks up without too much lag time.
We are currently working on getting an e-commerce site with c.700K products and pages fully indexed. Having submitted sitemaps and watched the indexed pages climb to 280K the technical department implemented a new URL formula, 301 redirecting the links on the sitemaps to the new versions!
Now the strange thing is that while 30K or more of the previously indexed URLs now show as not being indexed any longer, others are being indexed for the first time that hadn't yet been included.
I can understand that if the pages are 301ing Google might choose to index the target page instead, but why then are other old-format pages continuing to index?
Anyhow, this guide has given me more to think about as I work through the issues, thanks.
"Now the strange thing is that while 30K or more of the previously indexed URLs now show as not being indexed any longer"...."but why then are other old-format pages continuing to index?"
Sorry for taking so long to respond. With the site in question we have re-written all of the URLs to remove dynamic elements, duplication, etc.
We have created new sitemaps and a sitemap index with the new URLs and submitted these via Webmaster Tools.
Webmaster Tools reported a steadily increasing number of pages being indexed, up to a maximum of 280,000 pages, but has subsequently started de-indexing pages and the number indexed now stands at 145,000.
There is no obvious reason for the pages not being listed, some which are included in the index are deeper and less obviously linked than some that have been removed.
Is this simply a scenario where so long as Google can see the whole site we really just leave it up to them to index what they want, or is there something we can do to instigate more indexation?
Thanks for the Excellent in depth post and the step by step guide.
If a large number of such pages get collected over a period of time and are just forgotten about without realizing that they continue to reside in the Google index, you will very soon discover indexation issues with new content.
I'm curious as to what kind of indexation issues will come up.
Hi Brett - there is a limited amount of link equity that's distributed among the pages of a website. If older content competes for that limited amount with new content, search engines will take longer to index new pieces of content. Unless, links can propotionately grow with addition of new content.
Interesting Post! It's always great to see how people are incorporating excel in their strategies to make SEO work easier. You post works great with the websites (especially bogs) that are in the bubble for a long time and producing content on daily basis.

KY: CafePress Inc. to Move Global Headquarters to Louisville, Expand Production Creating 592 Jobs
Governor Steve Beshear joined community leaders and company officials to announce CafePress Inc. will move its global headquarters to Louisville, where it already has a 140,000-square-foot fulfillment center on Riverport Drive.
The company plans to expand the existing operation by another 185,000 square feet to accommodate the growth, which will create 592 new full-time jobs as well as an investment of more than $16.5 million.
"The Commonwealth is elated to welcome CafePress and its plans for nearly 600 new jobs with the expansion of its production facility and relocation of its global headquarters in Louisville," said Gov. Beshear. "Kentucky continues to prove it is an ideal location for corporate headquarters, and this project is yet another great illustration of our success."
CafePress is an exciting company and has enjoyed tremendous success because of its innovative business model and product line, Gov. Beshear said.
"Now Kentucky's vibrant workforce and optimal location should only help that success to continue to grow," Gov. Beshear said.
Founded in 1999, CafePress Inc. empowers individuals, groups, businesses and organizations to create, buy and sell customized and personalized products using the company's innovative and proprietary print-on-demand services and e-commerce platform. Today CafePress Inc. owns a portfolio of six premium brands including its flagship website, CafePress.com.
"Today marks a continued commitment to our relationship with the great state of Kentucky as we bring our global headquarters to Louisville and cement the path to new jobs," said CafePress CEO Bob Marino. "And, this move makes CafePress Inc. the first publicly traded e-commerce company to be headquartered in the Commonwealth."
To encourage the expansion and headquarters relocation in Louisville, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved CafePress for tax incentives up to $10 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.
"This is an exciting investment in Louisville by CafePress. Our city will reap the benefits of new jobs, economic growth and development," said Sen. Denise Harper Angel, of Louisville. "CafePress' decision to make additional investments in its Riverport Drive facility also speaks well of our workforce. I applaud Gov. Beshear for taking the lead to support this industry, their employees and their families."
"CafePress has been a great corporate partner here in Louisville, but this investment takes things to the next level," said Rep. Larry Clark, of Louisville. "I want to thank the company for making this move, and I'm certainly glad that the state can play a role in helping to make this possible. It will mean so much to the hundreds of families who will benefit from these jobs."
"CafePress' decision to have its global headquarters to join its Louisville fulfillment center demonstrates that we are a good place to do business and have a high quality of life," said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. "Adding nearly 600 jobs to our local economy will be a big win for our community as well as for the company, and I look forward to working with CafePress in their new home."
"CafePress joins several other companies who have recently chosen to relocate for business opportunities in the Bluegrass," said Eileen Pickett, executive vice president of Greater Louisville Inc. "It is further validation of the Louisville market as a world-class city, capable of supporting major corporate headquarters."
