Seductive Powers
Wendy Warner is a bit of an oddball. Raised in an orphanage, she's found solace and friendship by watching the television show, Space Adventures, and participating in its fan clubs. Twice a month, Wendy comes to work dressed in a costume from the show that she wears to charity events. She's been able to ignore the looks of distain from many of her coworkers, but when the president of the company gazes at her with something more, she knows she's in deep.
Draco Powers rather likes the way the uniform hugs all her curves in the just the right places. He's also a real-life Guardian who told the world that, yes, some people had superhuman abilities, but, no, they wouldn't work for free or without health insurance. Some people refer to him with derision as the "Capitalist Guardian." While Draco doesn't care what he's called, he's also being hunted by a group called the Organization, whose motives are unclear and yet still cause death and destruction wherever they go.
The Organization has decided that Draco's biggest weakness is the way he cares about his employees and has chosen Wendy as their next target. To save her, Draco will have to come to terms with his real feelings and the reason he's long resisted complicated relationships…but he's running out of time.

Solomon Schonfeld  (* 21. Februar 1912 in London; † 6. Februar 1984 ebenda) war ein britischer orthodoxer Rabbiner, der 2013 postum mit dem British Hero of the Holocaust award geehrt wurde.

Leben
Schonfeld war der zweite Sohn von Avigdor Schonfeld, dem Rabbiner der Londoner Adath Yisroel Synagogue. Nach dem frühen Tod seines Vaters 1930 gab er das begonnene Jurastudium auf und studierte an Jeschiwot in Nitra (heute Slowakei) und Litauen; anschließend promovierte er in Königsberg. 1933 kehrte er nach Großbritannien zurück, wo er Nachfolger seines Vaters als Vorsitzender des Jewish Secondary Schools Movement wurde. Als Rabbiner der Adath Yisroel Synagogue wurde er zum Vorsitzenden Rabbiner der Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations gewählt.

Von der Gründung 1938 an bis 1948 war er Geschäftsführer des Chief Rabbi's Religious Emergency Council (CRREC) unter dem Vorsitz seines späteren Schwiegervaters, des Oberrabbiners Joseph H. Hertz. Der CRREC, ursprünglich zur Unterstützung von Rabbinern im Deutschen Reich gegründet, organisierte unter anderem die Ausreise von 500 Rabbinern und Tora-Studenten mit ihren Familien nach Shanghai und sorgte in England für die Aufnahme von 1.500 der etwa 10.000 mit den Kindertransporten geflohenen Kinder. In Großbritannien richtete der CRREC koschere Küchen und Synagogen in den Internierungslagern für die Flüchtlinge ein.

1946, nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, brachte Schonfeld, mit einer selbst gekauften Uniform bekleidet, Hilfsgüter für Überlebende nach Bergen-Belsen. Im selben Jahr reiste er nach Polen, wo er ein Schiff charterte, um jüdische Waisenkinder nach Großbritannien zu bringen.

In Nachfolge seines Vaters baute Schonfeld das orthodox ausgerichtete Jewish Secondary Schools Movement durch die Gründung weiterer Schulen aus, darunter die Hasmonean High School, die zunächst 1944 von ihm als Grammar School für die Kinder orthodox-gläubiger Holocaustflüchtlinge eingerichtet wurde.

2013 wurde Schonfeld postum als British Hero of the Holocaust geehrt; die Auszeichnung wurde im Lancaster House seinem Sohn übergeben.

ACTION ALERT! Tell your elected officials to launch an immediate investigation into the FDA's neglect of Pfizer COVID vaccine whistleblower claims and vaccine advisory committee's Pharma ties
On November 2, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published an investigation finding poor research practices at Ventavia, a contract research company that conducted COVID-19 vaccine trials for Pfizer.
According to the BMJ, "speed may have come at the cost of data integrity and patient safety." A former Ventavia employee told the BMJ that the company had "falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer's pivotal phase III trial. Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding."
The employee, Brook Jackson, repeatedly notified Ventavia of her concerns according to the BMJ. She then emailed a complaint to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and was fired from her job the next day. The BMJ also stated that Jackson provided "dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails" to the publication.
Jackson filed her complaint with the FDA in September of 2020 but the agency never investigated her documented concerns.
CHD is now calling upon Congress to investigate the FDA's failure to look into these serious claims of shoddy testing of the Pfizer vaccine. The agency's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) granted Emergency Use Authorization to Pfizer's COVID vaccine for children ages five through eleven on October 26, 2021, nearly a year after these safety concerns were known by the FDA. "VRBPAC committee members have extensive ties with the same drug companies that manufacture the vaccines they vote upon," said CHD president and general counsel Mary Holland. "It's obvious from their voting records that their allegiance is to Pharma and not to the health of our nation's children."
The organization also maintains that the threats posed by these vaccines to children's health are significant considering that the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has received 856,919 reports of injuries following COVID vaccination including 18,078 deaths from mid-December, 2020 through October 29, 2021.
"Congress needs to prioritize an investigation of the FDA's mishandling of the red flags raised by the former Ventavia employee as well as the conflicts of interest at play on the VRBPAC committee," said Holland. "Tens of millions of children will get this vaccine and many will be subject to mandates in order to attend school. The citizens of this country need to know how this failure was allowed to occur and what steps are now being taken to correct the oversight."
Help defend the children! Please fill out this form to contact President Biden, your two U.S. Senators and your member of the House of Representatives. Thank you.

Xavier keeps Cintas Center streak going in Crosstown Shootout with 73-66 win over UC
The streak at Cintas Center moves to eight as Xavier beats UC in the Crosstown Shootout.

Adam Baum, Cincinnati Enquirer Published 7:11 p.m. ET Dec. 7, 2019 | Updated 9:42 a.m. ET Dec. 8, 2019
Travis Steele credited seniors Tyrique Jones and Quentin Goodin and applauded the rest of his team after a 73-66 win over Cincinnati Cincinnati Enquirer
The script for the Crosstown Shootout contains one word that's always more important than the rest: toughness.
Xavier head coach Travis Steele said at his pre-game press conference that the most talented team doesn't always win the Shootout, it's the toughest, most-together team.
Steele said, "That has to be us on Saturday at 5 p.m.," and much to the delight of the reported 10,811 fans jammed into the Cintas Center, Steele was right.
The Musketeers flipped last season's script and beat the Bearcats, 73-66, making it eight straight wins on the Cintas Center floor and five of the last seven overall.
"This game's all about toughness and all about togetherness and I thought we showed that tonight in a big, big way," Steele said after the game. "I thought we took a big step forward as a team."
Xavier looked like it was shot out of a cannon in the second half. The Musketeers emerged from the half with a 32-29 lead and a look in their eyes that would have unsettled Satan.
"We were ready," said Steele when asked about that look in his team's eyes.

With 11:55 left in the game, Xavier had built its largest lead of the game, 51-35, and the home crowd's energy was contagious.
The offensive rust that had formed around Xavier over the first nine games of the season was knocked off by junior Naji Marshall, who tied his career-high with 31 points and set a new career-high with five steals, to go with eight rebounds and three assists.
The 6-foot-7 forward from Atlantic City, New Jersey, put his stamp on the rivalry with the most points by a Xavier player in the Shootout since Trevon Bluiett went for 40 in the 2016-17 season.
"He's worked really hard for this moment," Steele said of Marshall. "I believe in him. He was ready for it."
Marshall found his rhythm with 17 first-half points and he looked like the toughest player on the floor.
"He was the best player on the floor," said Steele. "I don't think it was even close tonight."

Senior Tyrique Jones wasn't that far off from Marshall's level.
Jones' impact on the game in the second half was massive. After playing four minutes with two fouls and no points in the first half, Jones played 18 minutes in the second half and posted 10 points and seven rebounds.
UC head coach John Brannen said Jones, "gets the ball in three spots – either deep in the paint, on the block or off the block. He's as efficient as anybody in the country deep in the paint. He's guardable on the block and he's inefficient off the block. And the first half he was on the bench so that made him really inefficient.
"The second half, he kicked our tail."
Steele said, "You could hear Tyrique's voice. Even as I was walking back in (to the locker room at halftime), Tyrique was already in the locker room and you could hear his voice. Sometimes ... you don't play for 16 minutes straight you can kind of get lost, but I heard his voice the entire time. He was locked in, making sure his troops were ready to roll."
UC refused to fade away down the stretch with five players in double figures, led by Keith Williams' 15, Jaevin Cumberland's 14 and Jarron Cumberland's 11.
Brannen listed Cumberland as questionable coming into the game and he went 4 of 14 the from the field and played 30 minutes.
"I can't speak for another man's pain but I know he was hurting and he gutted it out," Brannen said of Cumberland.
Steele was asked if he thought Cumberland might not be able to play and he quickly said, "No chance. No shot. He was definitely playing. I didn't believe any of that."
Xavier took a 22-20 lead with 6:12 left in the first half and never gave the lead back.
There was an offensive acclimation period early on. Shots were contested and didn't want to fall. Defense ruled the first half.
With UC ahead 17-13, Marshall scored 11 straight points for the Musketeers to help build a 24-20 lead.
"Really an unbelievable game," Brannen said of Marshall. "The thing I was disappointed in, I told our team in the locker room afterwards, was our lack of defensive intensity and focus on guarding the basketball.
"And we've had that issue in second halves of games for most of the early season. That being said, we cut it to a two-possession game with two minutes to go. Had a shot to cut it to a one-possession game. So we fought there at the end but at the end of the day, we've got to do better at a higher level. You tip your hat to Naji and the performance he had. So did Travis, the way they played in a great environment. I think we've certainly got some things we've got to get better at."
With the win, Xavier moves to 9-1 and UC falls to 6-3.
"It doesn't' feel like we're 9-1. I feel like we're 0-10 at times but I think we're nowhere close to our ceiling as a team and once we get everybody playing really well within their role and executing on the offensive end we're gonna be pretty dang good I think," said Steele. "We got a shot. But it's like I tell our guys every day, talent doesn't equate to winning, it's all about that toughness, it's all about that togetherness, it's about details and discipline. We'll get there, that's for dang sure."

What Do You Mean, It Doesn't Grow On Trees?
What is cryptid-currency? It's the latest brainstorm to come out of the convergence of bankers, cryptographers, and genetic engineers – a blockchain-based form of cryp designed to use the photosynthetically-powered computing capacity of mesh-networked genetically enhanced trees to provide the validation and storage necessary to operate the cryp's backing protocol, combining environmental friendliness and stealthy operation in a single package.
All you need to do is find the trees. You're looking for at least six (the minimum needed to form a functional server-grove with enough combined power to reach distant networks) – and bear in mind that since many varieties have been created, such as the byteoak, the moneple, the wishwillow, the cashelm, and the greenwood, not all trees in the grove are necessarily identical. Indeed, the converse is also true, and identical-appearing trees may be of different protocol varietals.
At this point, you can register an account with the appropriate wallet application for the cryptid-currency in question, running on your more conventional computing device. Since no special peripherals are required on ubiquitous cognitive radio hardware, all the data is stored in the tree's logs (sic), and cryp applications tend to support steganographically concealed keys, a self-destructing app can effectively hide your use of tree-cryp from any and all nosy chaps out there.
So now let's take a look at some of the more popular cryptid-currencies out there…"

Why Is There Still Cash In The Future?
…I am sometimes asked.
Well, this:
Cash Means Freedom, Which Is Why So Many Officials Hate It
Especially when it comes to foreign governments and their "monitoring economic activity", "manipulating the economy", "tax compliance", and such-like fetishes, which is also why it's so fond of its fierce banking privacy laws and, for that matter, free access to cryp.
The Chamber of the People thinks spiking ideas like that is hilarious.
The Empire's banks, comfortably shielded behind the Worlds' largest economy, cheerfully willing to do business with anyone courtesy of the extranet, and with large infosec and counterinfosec departments on staff, think it's delightfully profitable.
And hilarious.

Trope-a-Day: Piecemeal Funds Transfer
Piecemeal Funds Transfer: Played straight, as the original trope suggests might be the case, with certain non-mainstream anonymous/secure cryptographic currencies (known as "cryp scrip", or just "cryp" for short), in which each currency unit is its own cryptographically signed token that must be processed individually and sequentially to do the transfer.

The Heart of Mediocrity (1)
"No-no-no-no-no," Arúaz Váriz Xinak Laníc Kúran viKoriaz said, hsis heads moving in some agitation. "Absolutely not, never. We and our crew cannot be paid enough to take you to Vonis Prime, no. The kalatri do not like visitors of our kind, no-no-no. Cause us/us/ours too much trouble, risk, damage. Cannot pay us/us enough to make that voyage worthwhile." Hse peered at the suited figure through the hydrocarbon fog. "Why do you want to charter a múrast ship anyway, oxygen-breather? Our icehull has no cabins suited for your air and warmth, and the months to Vonis are a long time to stay in a suit. Besides, the kalatri would only be more suspicious. No-no, no answers, not our business. We and ours will not take you."
"It is a matter of my cargo, not myself." The suited figure tossed a cryp-token into the negotiating area. "This, for the charter rate to Vonis. This much again," as a second token joined the first, "for your trouble, as well as," a third joined them, "this more, for no further questions. And as much again, and the cost of repairing any damage, when we return."
viKoriaz stared at the tokens, counting; nearly four times the going rate for the charter lay in front of hsem already. "With no further questions, how can we/we be sure we/we will ever return to see that pay?"
"Be sure? You cannot. But I assure you that I do not plan to throw my own life away on some foolish plan. I am merely… in need of fast transportation, and yours is the only ship for charter in Fínar space right now."
viKoriaz's minds argued inwardly for a moment, before hse curled back into his oil-bath and took possession of the cryp with a tongue-flick. "It seems we/we can be paid enough after all, oxygen-breather. We/we/ours can be ready to depart from midwatch tomorrow. The Consensus of Múrethch. Bay 171-RR."

Taking It With You
Accessing Your Funds
It is possible for you to access your funds directly on most of the core Associated Worlds, including all worlds of the Fringe, which are serviced by the Imperial Banking and Credit Network or one of its affiliate clearing networks. Direct funds access is also possible on select other major worlds and colonies where First Commercial has branches, using our premium tangle clearing facility.
However, other worlds are affiliated with alternative clearing networks due to local regulatory or legal requirements, or remain unaffiliated. On these worlds, direct funds access is impossible, but First Commercial maintains correspondent relationships with local banks across the Worlds. If a correspondent bank exists on the world you intend to visit, we can provide you with a letter of credit which can be drawn upon there, or a bank draft with which to establish a local account.
If no correspondent bank exists, it may be possible for us to establish a chain of correspondent banks to put funds in place in advance of your visit, or to purchase locally acceptable negotiable instruments or cryp (where anonymous untraceable funds are permitted by local law) on your behalf which you can use to establish a local account.

Where direct funds access is available through affiliate networks, a variety of different technologies may be required to access local financial networks rather than the Universal, including one-touch credit bars, cards encoded using magnetic stripes, holographic or other optical markings, or physical encoding, or even smart-paper or printed checks manually delivered to a central clearing house. First Commercial can provide you with any of these as required, appropriately encoded to draw upon your account.
You should be aware that while the Imperial Banking and Credit Network affiliate agreement requires adherence to its privacy, anti-fraud, minimum clearance time and fee structure constraints, many of these affiliate networks do not support advanced feature sets including smart contracts, metrics checks, immediate clearing, and referral of purchases to you or your muse for validation. As such, remote access to your funds via these networks requires disabling these security features on your First Commercial account, or setting up a separate foreign drawing account without these features.
For those unfamiliar with these technologies, a cautionary note: virtually all of these, unlike the Empire's familiar Purchase Threshold ™ system, require that you present goods you wish to purchase to a cashier and perform the transaction explicitly. Do not simply leave with your selected goods; this will not cause them to be purchased.
Thank you for considering First Commercial's foreign travel and retrocompatibility services.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here to discuss the Ikarakakt Forknapping is ConSec Network Operations' incident commander, Soléän Muetry-ith-Merete. Take us through what happened."
"Very well. This message – the original variant of this message – was injected onto the extranet at the Tanel open-service relay in the Cordai Gap. Ah – open-service relays are frequently used outside the Core, especially in the Expansion Regions, and unlike the dataweaves most of us are used to, they don't require a full set of authentication certificates to accept traffic."
"The message was piggybacked on a spam-virus using some new techniques that let it escape the security checks; we're working with Bright Shadow and other providers as we speak to produce and distribute patches to eliminate the loopholes it used. In any case, the spam-virus was able to redefine itself as an inoffensive weavelife agent and transmit itself to a more central relay, at Selvis. From there, it was able to insert the message -"
"Aren't the logophages supposed to stop unsolicited agent message transmission?"
"Yes, and the logophages did kill the spam-virus once they had a corpus large enough to identify it as a spammer. However, before that point was reached, it had inserted various self-replicating/self-mutating messages into the local data systems of 37 middle-technology worlds in the Ring Nebula. While the logophages pursued, local system incompatibilities slowed the response, and the selfreps weren't terminated until the message had reached 13,329 data service subscribers spread across those worlds."
"I see. And then?"
"And then… fourteen people responded to it."
"It's hard to believe that people today -?"
"…still fall for this sort of crude, implausible, leftover-from-the-dawn-of-time scam? Believe me, Cíëlle, we've seen a lot of variants on this in ConSec NetOps, and we have trouble believing it ourselves. But nonetheless, fourteen people responded. That might sound encouraging – fourteen is only just over a 0.1% response rate – but we have reason to believe that more people responded to the initial approach, but were either not targeted by the forknappers or were put off by later parts of the approach."
"What happened after they responded?"
"Well, the message itself is almost completely false, of course. While there have been some recent border incidents between the Tree and the Technate, no volume has changed hands, and there are certainly no caches to be had. And, while admittedly it's hard to find your way through the maze of Accord commissions the way the Conclave makes and unmakes them, there is no Secondary Security Services Commission, although there are some with similar-enough sounding names to be plausible. The promise of cryp is the usual nice touch – everyone loves anonymous, concealable, network-usable currency if they think they can get away with something that way."
"Anyway, these fourteen were very well stroked with the 'such security assurances' they offered. I've seen some of them. They are really very impressive – cosmetically – with seals and signatures and countersignatures from plenty of reputable-sounding institutions and plausible-looking multistep chains. None of them led back to a reputable authentication authority, of course, but then, they'd provided an explanation for that, and they looked impressive enough, and providing them was co-operation enough, that these people just assumed that they must be valid. And they couldn't do a deep inspection, of course, to find the missing ends of the chains because 'starcorporate interests are already in negotiation'. Delay means losing the deal."
"And so they all made, or took, a noetic backup copy of themselves and transmitted it off to the forknappers' darknet, thinking they were going to be reinstantiated for the negotiations."
"How did ConSec get involved?"
"A couple of the victims reported the scam to their local authorities after they never heard back from their copy and the darknet vanished on them, and it was passed up to us as an extranet-security matter. We managed to trace the original agent back to the Tanel injection point, and from there traced the signal to a local asteroid outpost. With the cooperation of a local nsang anti-piracy patrol, we raided the outpost and managed to recover some of the tools the forknappers had used, and eighteen stolen mind-states, in various degrees of editing. We've returned those to their originals."
"What are the chances of finding the forknappers?"
"Well, that's something for the local authorities, not in our jurisdiction; we were just called in to investigate the breaches of extranet security. But in any case, chances of catching them are negligible; the forknappers must have known we were coming. They were long gone when we got there, and the outpost was scrubbed clean. We only found what they left for us to find."
"And in any case, the damage was done. We recorded several large encrypted transmissions, both on-net and off-net, from the outpost on the way in, and more data could easily have been carried out on-media. There's no way to tell how many thousands or millions of slaved copies or derivatives of those mind-states could be out there by now, and without some new leads, there's not a thing we can do about it. Or that anyone can do about it."
"Thank you for your candor on that point. Do you have any advice for our viewers?"
"Only the usual; don't be a damned idiot on the extranet. If it seems to be too good to be true, it is. If it originates from a darknet or from an open-service relay – the messages were stamped with the unverifiable-origin flag – ask yourself why."
"And above all, learn the authentication infrastructure. If it comes from a non-reputable or anonymous source, don't trust it. Bad fiction aside, there simply aren't the kinds of local outages that could make an honest agent unable to identify himself. Anyone who can't present you with a verified key, for an identity or a nym, is up to no good. It's as simple as that."
"Thank you again. That was Commander Soléän of ConSec Network Operations, bringing us the latest on the Ikarakakt Forknapping. We'll be going live to the Seranth Exchange for the financial reports; for now, this is Cíëlle Peressin for Telememe."

From Merak Ikarakakt, greetings.
My dear friend, having consulted with galactic rep networks and meta-networks, I believe you to be a sophont of the highest integrity and excellent reputation in the interstellar business community. I have the privilege therefore to request your assistance in a matter of the greatest confidentiality and urgency.
I am an operative with the Accord Secondary Security Services Commission. After the recent Silicate Tree incursions into the Santry Technate, my associates and I were able to identify several caches of experimental technology and bearer-denominated cryp located in secure vaults within the incursion zone.
These caches have been impounded by the Commission pending salvage clearance. While I and my associates are unable to obtain this clearance, as we are known to the Commission, a respected soph of business such as yourself would easily be able to do so. As our interest is primarily in the technology, we would be delighted to offer you the cryp within those caches, which we believe to have a value not less than forty million Accord exvals, enabling us both to profit from this discovery.
We are prepared to offer you such security assurances before departure as we are able within the incursion zone, despite the disruption of the identity and authenticity infrastructure by the Tree incursions; nevertheless, if you are willing to help us in this matter, we must request that you mindcast to our location with a minimum of delay since starcorporate interests are already in negotiation for access to these technology caches.
Please reply with your secure contact information to our darknet address urgently.

I recently had a custom muffler done for my 2016 Ducati Scrambler Sixty2 (400cc). I'm considering this Rapid Bike option, since Rexxer doesn't have maps for the Sixty2.
Just wanted to really confirm -- will this work as a standalone plug and play option for my Ducati Sixty2?

Q: Develop Desktop App With Electron And Angular 2 I have a problem developing (creating the environment of) a desktop application using Electron and Angular. This app, at some point, has to fire a showOpenDialog which is specific to Electron in order to select a directory from the File System. Let's say I have the following angular component:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
        <button (click)="openDirectory()">Open directory</button>
        <p> {{selectedDirectory}} </p>
    `
})

export class AppComponent {

    selectedDirectory: string = "None";
    openDirectory() {
        // Here I need to call the 'showOpenDialog' from electron
        // and update the selectedDirectory property
    }

}

... but calling showOpenDialog in openDirectory won't work and it will return a compilation error because Angular doesn't have a clue who showOpenDialog really is.
In a tipical Electron application you will write something like:
const {dialog} = require('electron').remote;

var path = dialog.showOpenDialog({
    properties: ['openDirectory']
});

Now I have to build the Angular project, modify the bundle.js file and finally add the electron functionalities like showOpenDialog and so on. After that I need to copy the distribution files into Electron project. I know, this is a really mess.
Q: What would be a better way to develop this kind of application? Like both Angular and Electron environments in the same project.

A: You simply need to install electron (and its types) within your angular app, then import your dependency
Installation:
npm install electron @types/electron

usage:
import { remote } from 'electron';

openDirectory() {
    remote.showOpenDialog();
}

Recent days have seen Sears in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. While the company has been in financial straits for some time, the pressure has been mounting and today comes reports that the company may avoid bankruptcy thanks to a last-minute bid from CEO Eddie Lampert's investment company. Certain Sears creditors are expected to object to the deal whether it's the best outcome of the company's recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
It's a complicated situation and one that brings up mixed emotions. As a consumer of a certain age, I remember dog-earing the pages in the Sears Wishbook for Santa, visiting the store for back to school clothes, working with my grandfather's Craftsman Tools and spending my hard-earned babysitting money on a small, 13" black and white TV from the Sears electronics department.
But there's another dimension complicating my feelings around Sears and their recent challenges: I used to work there.
I joined Sears Holdings Company, parent company to Sears, Kmart and (at the time) Land's End, as a product manager. During my time there, I managed payment and post-order. My role covered essentially everything from the time a shopper entered their credit card and coupon details through shipping and delivery of items.
I can't speak for everyone I worked with, but most of those on the team were energized by the vision of transforming Sears for the 21st century. But even back then there were challenges, many of which have been widely reported. Here are three of the lessons I learned from the experience.
With a huge number of stores and a robust operations center, Sears was an early pioneer in the omnichannel experience. The ability to order online and pick up from your car in designated parking spots, which is now widely advertised by several big-box discount retailers? I worked on that product for Sears – in 2010.
While a great idea in concept, and even an idea that was (arguably) ahead of its time, the buy-online-pick up-in-store idea kind of flopped. Why? The devil was in the details. For example, take coupons. Often the user saw a promotion online that they hadn't applied towards their purchase because they didn't know they could. The result? Disappointment.
In today's hyperconnected world having an experience that's streamlined, clearly communicated, familiar and complementary across the board is even more important. If you are coordinating experiences between various channels, whether in-person events, chapter communication, international outlets, social media or your website and online community, regularly do a quick review and ensure your messaging is consistent across the board. It can save you time and customer service headaches down the road.
Shortly before leaving Sears, I spent time with the customer service call center team. As the company focused on building out a massive online marketplace, many of the shoppers I spoke with found already found online shopping a challenging experience. They were calling to complain and taking their business elsewhere. And those were just the shoppers I spoke with.
We were building the business from the top down, but maybe it should have been from the bottom up. Take the time to talk to the constituents engaging with your organization. Understand their preferences and behaviors, acknowledge their concerns and use what you've heard to build an organization that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations. Your retention rate will thank you for it.
Sears sought to evolve their business by building a large online marketplace to rival Amazon. They partnered with small businesses and amassed a huge catalog of products. But in doing so, they lost sight of what made them successful. Popular, and profitable, brands like Craftsman and Kenmore got lost in the mix.
If you're planning to expand your organization in 2019, look at the programs your constituents know and love. Do the new benefits that you want to introduce make sense? Will they build on your success or distract constituents from understanding and internalizing the value you provide?
With some time away from the ecommerce space, and from the outside looking in, I recognize what's happening with Sears as an important example of how vulnerable an organization can become — no matter the size, brand or history. The nonprofit sector, with its lean resources and commitment to the invaluable work of social good, can't risk exposure to the same risk. Learning from the past to secure the future can be a good place to start.

Montreal startup raises $4.5 million to help sell life insurance to millennials
Breathe Life is making a software platform for insurance companies to help them sell online

A Montreal-based startup has raised $4.5 million in venture capital to help life insurance companies reach younger consumers online.
Breathe Life makes a technology platform intended to help life insurance companies identify potential customers, match them to the right products and sell them insurance on their mobile phones or desktops.
It's a big change for an industry where most selling still takes place face-to-face.
"Essentially what's happened in the insurance world, specifically the life insurance world, is the methods of distribution haven't changed in about 100 years," said Ian Jeffrey, Breathe Life's CEO.
The sales process for life insurance usually involves multiple meetings, with advisers visiting customers at home, Jeffrey said. But that's expensive and, as a result, life insurance companies are increasingly focused on selling to wealthier clients.
"By the time they actually sell a policy, unless that policy is a big one, they're losing money because they're meeting people multiple times," he said. "So what happened is that that's created a huge gap in the market, specifically around younger consumers. Typically, we talk a lot about new parents because that's usually when you start thinking about purchasing life insurance."
Those new parents are inevitably part of the so-called millennial generation — whose oldest members are in their late 30s — and while people that age are increasingly buying big-ticket items, like houses are cars, they're not buying insurance.
"75 percent of millennials in North America don't have life insurance," Jeffery said. "A big reason why they don't have it is because the distribution mechanisms aren't targeting those people."
Jeffrey said his company sees an opportunity to use technology to help companies reach those younger consumers.
The company's platform is a white-label product — consumers won't see the Breathe Life name, instead they'll deal directly with insurance companies who are using the platform.
Breathe Life isn't trying to replace the traditional life insurance industry, Jeffrey said.
"We really position ourselves as enablers as opposed to disruptors," he said.
The investment was led by Diagram Ventures and Real Ventures, both based in Montreal.
The idea for the company was originally developed by Diagram, a venture creation firm backed by Power Corp.'s venture capital arm Portag3. It develops business ideas and then brings in experienced executives to turn those ideas into companies.
The investment will be used to hire and continue the company's expansion into the United States.
"The capital will be used to staff up, we're 20 people already, but just like any startup in this city, I think, we need more software developers," he said.
Owners of some Portovino restos fined total of $1.2M for tax... All SQDC stores to open on Wednesdays starting this week

The third Battle of Changsha (24 December 1941 – 15 January 1942) was the first major offensive in China by Imperial Japanese forces following the Japanese attack on the Western Allies.
The offensive was originally intended to prevent Chinese forces from reinforcing the British Commonwealth forces engaged in Hong Kong. With the capture of Hong Kong on 25 December, however, it was decided to continue the offensive against Changsha in order to maximize the blow against the Chinese government.[1]
The offensive resulted in failure for the Japanese, as Chinese forces were able to lure them into a trap and encircle them. After suffering heavy casualties, Japanese forces were forced to carry out a general retreat.[1]
Course of battle
On 27 December, the Japanese 3rd, 6th, and 40th Divisions massed at Yueyang and advanced southward in three columns and crossed the Xinqiang River, and tried again to cross the Miluo River to reach Changsha. However, the Chinese formed a deep pocket around the city and set up ambush parties around the Luoyang River. Halfway from Miluo River and Changsha, the Japanese columns faced strong resistance from the Chinese and the eastern column was forced to take a detour further east, and the other two columns had to move closer together than originally planned. During the southward advance the Japanese encountered three Chinese army divisions that were pushed aside but not crushed; they retreated into the eastern mountains.
Changsha was evacuated except for the Chinese army and some 160 civilians who wished to stay to help the defense. The defense was also stiffened by a significant number of British-supplied mortars, two batteries of French-supplied 75mm field guns and several 2 pdr anti-tank guns. Also of great importance were eight new U.S.-supplied M2A1 tanks which were deployed within the city itself. These vehicles proved to be of extraordinary value to the defense due to their all-round machine gun fire capability.[2] On 31 December 1941, the Japanese troops attacked the southeastern defenses of the city but failed to make any gains. Subsequently they attacked the southern and then the eastern parts of the defenses. Meanwhile, the northern part of the city was heavily bombarded. The Japanese eventually cut through the first line of defense, only to meet stubborn resistance from a second line of defense near the city center.
On 1 January 1942 the Chinese counter-attacked, surprising the Japanese, bombarded them with heavy guns and inflicted heavy casualties on them. At about the same time, the army units that had retreated to the mountains during the Japanese advance swept down to attack the Japanese supply lines, with plenty of aid from local guerrillas. The Japanese line collapsed on 4 January. The three Japanese divisions were besieged and requested the help of the Japanese 9th Independent Brigade stationed in Yueyang. However, on 9 January this unit faced heavy fighting with the Chinese and was unable to relieve the besieged Japanese divisions.
The besieged Japanese then attempted to retreat across the Luoyang River, not knowing that an ambush party was already stationed in the region. Losing heavily at the river crossing, the Japanese eventually reached the Xinqiang River on 15 January to complete the retreat.
The 3rd Battle of Changsha can be thought of as decisive. Just a month after Pearl Harbor and U.S. entry into the war, the battle was acclaimed to be the only major Allied victory of the Asia-Pacific theater in late-1941/early-1942. It was seen as a major victory and opened the possibility that the Chinese could turn the tide of the war against Japan. It earned Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek's Government much prestige from abroad and legitimacy in China. Xue Yue earned himself more prestige in China for his three victories and outstanding tactical skills. Changsha would remain in Chinese hands for a further two and a half years.

History of Changsha
1941 in China


The role of black women like Sojourner Truth in abolition was to provide a person time from the side of the slaves, and to provide the abolitionists with a perspective that they did not have. Sojourner Truth talks about learning that she was a human being and her everlasting faith. Throughout the reading, she talks about how she feels like God freeing her will make her human.
