In my line of work, I've seen it all. From someone causing a four car pile up because they stopped to let a squirrel cross the road to another person being rear-ended by someone applying makeup while driving.
The results of these accidents can be dire: fatalities or injuries that plague victims for months or years; increased premiums; loss of demerit points.
"Distracted and inattentive driving causes more road deaths than drinking and driving and speed combined, according to the Ontario Provincial Police." And that article was from 2012! Things haven't improved since then.
That's a list that goes the long way around to saying that the only thing you should be doing when you're behind the wheel is driving.
I bet you're thinking: 'easier said than done, Derek', but consider this: drivers using text messaging while driving are 23 times more likely to get into an accident. You think you're just sending a quick note to your boss, but in the time it takes you to look up at the road again, it could be too late.
If you don't trust yourself not to respond to text messages, you can set up a driving 'do not disturb' that replies to anyone who texts you that you're currently driving and will see their message when you get to your destination.
Avoid temptation by putting your phone in the back seat or trunk.
Make sure your bluetooth is set up correctly for calls that simply cannot wait. That said, your level of attention even using hands free technology is diminished significantly so you need to consider whether a call is worth it! You're much better off to pull over safely, put the car in park and make your call then.
One of the biggest distractions in the car? Kids. I know… You can't live with them, you can't strap them to the roof!
Reaching back to grab a dropped toy is all it takes for you to rear-end another vehicle, or worse, veer out of your lane into oncoming traffic.
The best advice here is an ounce of prevention. If that means turning on a video for long drives, to keep the little ones quiet, so be it. Screaming kids in the back seat will not only drive you to distraction but they will distract your driving.
Speeding and impaired driving are the next two causes on the list. They are both highly preventable, at least on your part.
As I pointed out in a previous post, speeding will typically NOT save time and in fact significantly increases your risk of having a collision.
I have an old friend who habitually drives in the slow lane. He swears up and down that he gets to his destinations both faster and happier. In my youth, I definitely drove on the aggressive and impatient side, and it tested my patience to no end to drive with this friend.
But one day we put his theories to the test and I discovered that he was RIGHT. When I drove in the slow lane, I often arrived at the exact same time as those who were driving in the fast lane, above the limit, and often weaving in and out of traffic to shave an extra few seconds off the commute.
One wife and two children later, I credit this friend with making me a much safer – and slower – driver.
In a rush? Take a breath, put on some easy listening music, and relax in the slow lane. You'll get there just as quickly, but the journey will be far more enjoyable. Nowadays I welcome the calm before I arrive home to a chaotic house filled with young boys and their buddies.
Running a red light—a car going the opposite way could be right in your path before you know it.
Bad weather—it's easy to say 'stay home' when the weather is bad, but when we have lives, jobs and responsibilities, it really is easier said than done. The best advice is to slow down. If a speed demon in a pickup is aggressively pushing you along, let him fume/let him pass. It's not worth your getting upset about.
Lane changes—having your side mirrors improperly set up and making changes without signaling create a lot of accidents. Don't forget to shoulder check and signal.
Following too close—you never know when someone in front of you might stop their vehicle. Perhaps they see a child darting out between two cars. You can't see that, but if you're following too close, you're bound to rear-end the vehicle in front of you. Back off and leave some space. Three car-lengths if you can.
You can't control other drivers, but you can take care that, when you're behind the wheel, you're doing everything possible to stay safe. If you are the victim of a car accident, take the necessary steps to ensure that if you're injured, you can be compensated appropriately.

612 2nd Ave Automatic Fire Alarm.
On November 19th 2018 at 18:12 hrs, Station 18 Folsom Fire Company was dispatched to 612 2nd Ave for an automatic fire alarm. Prior to responding, Fire Board advised the alarm was set off by cooking.


Tim Kemple has "always been an adventurer, an explorer, a climber", but how did he make the transition into being a photographer? A new web mini-series from F-Stop Gear is setting out to tell the story of outdoor and adventure photographers. In this premier episode, Tim Kemple shares his background while running around the mountains in France, and he explains what it takes to capture images in those environments.
Asking how photographers got their start, and found their way into the craft of photography can get an interesting mix of answers. For outdoor and adventure shooters, I've often heard that they were passionate about the outdoors first, and then discovered a knack for photography afterward. That's not to say that it doesn't take skill or a keen eye, but passion for the subject matter should never be underestimated. With Tim Kemple, he claims to be happiest when he is outside, so it's natural that he has been able to use his passion to create a career in photography. "I want to shoot photos that kids want to hang on their walls." In the video, Tim is shooting athletes Dorian Serre and Chloe Georges in the picturesque setting of Chamonix, France. He shares insight into his own story and reveals what it takes to get images like these. "You need to pack up your gear, march up the hill, and really live the same lifestyle that the athletes are living."
Tim Kemple is a co-founder of Camp 4 Collective, and has been noted on Fstoppers before for shooting kayakers and directing an award winning campaign for Colorado tourism.

More information on Life In Focus can be read here. Keep a look out for more videos in this series to drop, featuring photographers like Scott Serfas, Brian Mattiash, and Christian Pondella.
Tim's the man! Guy is an inspiration.
Wow! I tried to do some trekking and shooting. Its tough! With so little oxygen up there, shooting makes it tough! Well done!
False! He was correct, the concentration of oxygen in the air is lower at higher altitude, so called "thin air".
Really nice vid of Tim!
Zeiss lenses? Tim is definitely one of the guys who made climbing photography what it is. Nice to see his insiders perspective. Cool dude.


We work additional hard for the extravagances that we get the chance to claim and owning a car is one of those extravagances that a great many people dependably dream of, where they as of now have it made sense of the correct model they need to buy and drive when they, in the end, get the opportunity to stand to buy a car. One such car that many people dream of is the Subaru, that is loved by a majority of people worldwide because of its performance, and generally because of its pretty looks, but most people might attest that they find it quite difficult in either choosing the Subaru of Twin Falls that suits them or finding the right dealership for the car.
To begin with, there are several Subaru car models at one's disposal to pick from, and this is a great advantage over other car types that have limited models hence you can definitely find one that suits your needs or that is ideal for the purpose you intend for it. Your ideal Subaru car must tick all the boxes of your needs like fuel consumption where some research on the models in the market needs to be done to know how much fuel they consume for what distance, hence knowing how much you will spend on the running costs of the car. Compare subaru outback vs forester here!
Furthermore, as Subaru cars are generally known for their power, you must also know if you want a super-powered Subaru, the ones that come with a turbo, and a generally relaxed one, the non-turbo type, and this might be determined by your desire for powerful and fast cars or simply luxurious relaxed ones, not forgetting that the fuel consumption also differs on the different models in this regard. That said, begetting a Subaru car isn't as hard as most people make it out to be as there are several Subaru dealerships across the world that will guarantee you get the exact Subaru that is ideal for you, for example, if you come from Twin Falls, you can check out Subaru of Twin Falls. You can also learn more tips on where to find the best Subaru dealership by checking out the post at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru#Environmental_record.
Regardless, there are likewise numerous fraudsters out there implying to be Subaru dealers thus to abstain from being conned, you should direct an exhaustive research to determine which ones are real and which ones aren't. You should seek to beget a Subaru dealer that is first and foremost accredited by the manufacturer as this will ensure you are buying a car that is of high quality; this and also getting a dealer that comes highly recommended by previous clients that you know or have been introduced to by someone else is a great advantage in your quest to drive your dream Subaru.

The FBI might finally get to solve several cold cases but the new access to a private genealogy database is also causing concern.
Have you ever tried using a home-testing kit to trace your ancestry or locate your relatives? The Federal Bureau of Investigations probably already has your genetic data. A major DNA testing company has just confirmed that they are now sharing their vast genealogy database with the FBI.
Family Tree DNA is one of the largest private genetic testing companies that allows users to trace their own ancestry at the comfort of their own homes. The instant accessibility makes them a huge hit among curious consumers who then add their own genetic data to the company's database. Because of their extensive genealogy database, the FBI has reached out to Family Tree DNA for access – and it has been granted.
The move could be groundbreaking in solving cold cases but is also causing concern.
The FBI has a good reason for using a genealogy database. After all, it can allow them to solve various cold cases. One major recent discovery using public genealogy database led to the capture of the Golden State Killer. However, they have a limited library of genetic data. By reaching out to a private firm like Family Tree DNA, they will have access to an almost unlimited database.
The Family Tree database is free to access and can be used by anyone with a DNA profile to upload. However, the thought of the FBI gaining access to all this information has several people worried.
The FBI still has a limited access to Family Tree DNA's database.
Debbie Kent, a British genealogy enthusiast and honorary research associate at University College London, had a similar opinion about the matter.
"I would be very against Family Tree DNA allowing law enforcement to have open access to their DNA database. I don't think it's right for law enforcement to use a database without the informed consent of the consumer," she said.
What do you think of Family Tree DNA giving FBI access to their private genealogy database? Let us know in the comments below.
An Arabic customer urges his 'brothers and sisters' not to buy the toilet paper because 'every toilet tissue has the name of Allah on it'.
The people at Marks & Spencer must have scratched their heads when a customer claimed that the toilet paper that they sell has the Arabic script for Allah. The customer made a video showing the supposed script on the store's 3-ply toilet paper.
People who are against vaccinations have become more than an annoyance. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), they are now considered among the top "threats to global health" in 2019.
WHO recently revealed a list of some of the world's top health threats and identified anti-vaccination as one of our serious problems. The agency declared that "vaccine hesitancy threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases."

Hyde and History
I've been a terrifyingly enthusiastic Jekyll & Hyde fan for a whole year soon. (I first saw the musical two years ago, but it took a year for my enthusiasm to take flight.)
Being terrifyingly enthusiastic about something for a year, you're bound to learn something about it.
I've learned that writing Jekyll & Hyde was a long process. All composer Frank Wildhorn's musicals have a history of concept recordings and revisions, but the development of Jekyll & Hyde is especially full of cuts and edits. I've mentioned that for Jekyll & Hyde, Wildhorn has written twice the amount of songs needed. It's not an exaggeration.
In this post, I'm going to share four things about the history of Jekyll & Hyde the musical I find especially interesting.
1) The Ballad of Jekyll & Hyde
Jekyll & Hyde the musical officially first premiered in Houston in 1990. Seven years later, a revised version was staged on Broadway. But even before the Houston premiere, the creative team – composer Wildhorn and lyricists Steve Cuden and Leslie Bricusse – had written and produced two concept albums of the show.
Only two of the songs featured on the original 1986 demo made it to the eventual Broadway production: Alive and Murder, Murder. Facade, the number that has 2–4 reprises in current productions of the musical, was curiously absent... But in its place, the demo CD begun with a song called The Ballad of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
Doctor Jekyll so good and kind
A gentleman always so refined
But lying in wait was another side
All that's evil personified
The 1986 concept album only featured ten songs, but next year, Wildhorn and Cuden produced another demo. On the 1987 album, The Ballad was used exactly like its obvious inspiration, Stephen Sondheim's The Ballad of Sweeney Todd. It opened the first act, was reprised after intense plot twists, and finally finished the show with lyrics that recapped the morale of the story.
The Ballad ends with the melody from Alive that defines Hyde in the current edition of the show. It's the same tune Hyde sings at the end of Jekyll and Hyde's duet Confrontation – a song that wasn't present on either the 86 or the 87 concept album!
In the current edition of the show, Facade has replaced The Ballad. Interestingly enough, the 87 demo featured both The Ballad and Facade.
2) Scheisse Stride
Let's talk about Simon Stride.
In most productions of the musical, Stride doesn't have much to do. He's a secretary at the hospital. In the engagement party we find out he's Emma (or in some script editions, Lisa)'s ex-boyfriend. Then he disappears for two hours and resurfaces only to meet his end in Mr. Hyde's hands during the last scene. Looking at the show as a whole, it seems his only function is to get killed.
That wasn't the case with Dr. William Scheisse, Simon Stride's first incarnation.
Yes, Dr. William Scheisse. Yes, I think we've all heard German profanities before – that means exactly what you think it does.
On the 1987 concept recording, Stride sings Good 'N' Evil, the song Lucy performs in The Red Rat in some of the newer productions.
Evil's the one which is nothing but fun
Good is the one which is not
You must decide which is which
And what is what
Very subtle.
It's just right Stride should sing a song fit for The Red Rat. He used to own the place. In the first editions of the script, Dr. Scheisse was a busy man: he was a respectable doctor by day, sabotaged Jekyll's experiments on the side, and worked as a pimp by night.
When the Houston premiere approached, someone snapped to their senses and decided to get rid of the absurd Dr. Scheisse subplot. This didn't please actor Bill Nolte, who was supposed to play the character in 1990. As the villainous William Scheisse transformed into the meek Simon Stride, Nolte left the production.
Knowing this, Stride's character in the current musical productions seems kind of like a human tail bone – a remnant of something that used to be there ages ago but has since faded away.
3) Mr. Ripper
In Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the year of events is written as "18—".
Many scripts of the musical state the story takes place in the year 1888. It's a nice-looking number, so why not... But in fact, it seems the year originates from the early concepts.
The second act opening song Murder, Murder was first recorded on the 1986 demo. There, instead of taking Jekyll's revenge on the Board of Governors, Mr. Hyde arbitrarily murders working girls walking the streets of London.
Sounds familiar? Jack the Ripper murdered East End-based prostitutes in the fall of 1888.
That's two in the last five nights.
That's two who've paid the price.
First Nettie, now Marie!
Could the next be you or me!
Still subtler than "Look at this, another murder / Just like that other murder".
In Dacre Stoker's hideous Dracula sequel Dracula the Un-Dead, it turned out Jack the Ripper was actually a vampire. Here, he used to be Mr. Hyde. It seems people who write adaptations based on gothic novels simply cannot resist mixing the real-life murder mystery with whichever monster their adaptation features...
Well, at least the team behind Jekyll & Hyde the musical had the sense to scrap the idea.
4) Mr. Uttersons
Dr. Jekyll is famous for his split personality. But who knew his friend Mr. Utterson had two different natures as well!
In Stevenson's original novel, the narration focuses on Utterson. We follow Jekyll's lawyer friend when he solves the titular strange case. His investigations are more important than his personality. In the musical, Utterson serves as someone for Jekyll to talk to. The character is important because he helps to move the plot forward, but in most scripts, he doesn't have much of a personality.
So it's a bit odd that the few characteristics he has differ wildly from production to production. This is evident in the scene where Jekyll and Utterson visit The Red Rat.
Sometimes, Utterson is a party animal. It's he who suggests that Jekyll should relax and take a detour to The Red Rat. There, the madame recognises her loyal customer and yells for the girls to serve champagne for "Mr. Utterson's party".
Other times, Utterson doesn't feel like celebrating. Really doesn't. He tries his best to stop Jekyll from going to the brothel, helpfully reminding him that it's not safe, and for goodness' sake if we really must go, I will absolutely refuse to have a good time. In these cases, it's Jekyll who insists it'll be fun and drags his friend along.
The original Broadway production took the party animal path, but in newer productions, it seems the moralist version prevails. Wonder if Utterson will ever find his groove again?
Bonus round: Bad Production Choices Bingo
The script of Jekyll & Hyde the musical has been through a lot. Today, with Dr. William Scheisse and Jack the Ripper safely removed from the plot, it seems many productions feature reoccurring directional quirks instead... Keep this bingo sheet at hand the next time you watch any Jekyll & Hyde video on Youtube, or even better, see the show live.
Someone usually shouts bingo! before the first act is over.
Tunnisteet: Jekyll and Hyde, musical babble, theatre history
I just read every article on your blog related to Jekyll & Hyde. Now I SO wish I could've seen the turun kaupunginteatteri production of JH- I want to see the nuanced and possibly gay-interpreted Utterson. And those amazing sets! Thank you for writing about it, so I could at least experience it vicariously.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you've found my J&H posts interesting! The Turku production was something else indeed – have you seen all the photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/138427632@N04/albums/72157673437745096
I don't know if you speak Finnish, but if you do, listen to the last third or so of this podcast episode (I'm one of the co-hosts): https://soundcloud.com/musikaalimatkassa-podcast/shippisirkus-saapuu-kaupunkiin-rakkaus-musikaaleissa – in the episode, we talk about the possible gay-interpreted Utterson w/ the actor and the director (and it turns out Utterson being in love with Jekyll was indeed canon).

Thomas Pepys (a, cousin, "The Executor")
1893 text
Thomas Pepys, of Hatcham Barnes, Surrey, Master of the Jewel House to Charles II. and James II.
This text comes from a footnote on a diary entry in the 1893 edition edited by Henry B. Wheatley.

Pepy's cousin; variously referred to as 'cousin', 'the Executor' and 'Hatcham Pepys'. His biography is difficult to establish at several points....It seems likely that he was the Thomas Pepys who was born in 1611 at Sutton to Thomas Pepys 'the Red', cousin of Pepys's father, and who was married at St Paul's, Covent Garden in 1654 to Anne, daughter of Sir John Cope, a witness to the marriage being Percival Angier, son-in-law of Thomas the Red. The diary makes it clear that he was a puritan (probably a Presbyterian), and it is therefore virtually certain that he was the Thomas Pepys who served as a magistrate for Middlesex and as a commissioner for the assessment and the militia in the late '50s. In Dec. 1660 he took out a pardon. The facts clear from the diary--that he was rich, that he had a partner, and that he was ignorant of Latin--suggest that he was a business man rather than a member of a profession. He lent money to Mountagu in 1658. His nickname 'the Executor' may refer to his usefulness to the family in that function.
He was living in 1661 in St-Martin-in-the-Fields, later in Newport St, Covent Garden, whence in 1663 he moved to Hatcham, Surrey. He died in 1675 at Merton Priory, Surrey, which he had acquired in 1668. Pepys was appointed trustee of his estate for the benefit of his widow. She was his second wife (b. Ursula Stapelton of Myton, Yorks) whom he had married at Kensington in March 1660 and by whom he had a son and daughter. She died c. 1693.

1893 Text: "Thomas Pepys, of Hatcham Barnes, Surrey, Master of the Jewel House to Charles II. and James II."
Perhaps they had the wrong title. The Masters of the Jewel House were:
1595: Sir Edward Cary
1603: Sir Henry Cary
1618: Sir Henry Mildmay
1643: Sir Robert Howard (at Oxford) -- he died during the English Civil War (1642–51).
A successor was appointed at the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II in 1660.
1660: (June) Sir Gilbert Talbot
1665: Talbot Edwards
1674: Wythe Edwards
1676: Sir Martin Beckman
1690: Sir Francis Lawley
1697: Heneage Montagu
1698: Colonel Charles Godfrey
1702: Talbot Edwards (Jnr)
1704: John Charlton
1711: Heneage Finch

This is a great route through a high-elevation mountain pass (9200' elevation). Probably best for Supermoto, sport bikes, or touring/adventure bikes, but you could ride anything if you are up for a lot of curves. When you start up the mountain, it is all curves and somewhat narrow. The road is probably closed in winter (likely through May or June), so check the season and weather before you go. But it's great views, almost no one up there (when we went in October), and a fun route! Kennedy Meadows store has gas too.
Gravel/Sand: we encountered light sand on some corners, and slid around a bit, so be careful and watch the roadway for hazards.

Q: Convert ASCII file to Decimal file Hello I have a textfile with (ASCII or other format i don't know maybe UTF or UNICODE) text. In this file are special letters. I want to convert all letters, the complete file into DECIMAL. I just don't know how.
private void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int size = -1;
    DialogResult result = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); // Show the dialog.
    if (result == DialogResult.OK) // Test result.
    {
        string file = openFileDialog1.FileName;
        try
        {
            string text = File.ReadAllText(file);
            //call a function that converts the string text into decimal
            size = text.Length;
            memoEdit1.Text = text;
        }
        catch (IOException)
        {
        }
    }
    Console.WriteLine(size); // <-- Shows file size in debugging mode.
    Console.WriteLine(result); // <-- For debugging use.
}

This is the Code so far...
UPDATE:
The File looks like this(ASCII or other format i don't know maybe UTF or UNICODE). This ist just sample (ASCII or other format i don't know maybe UTF or UNICODE) code.

oe ö

! uæõ
and after the converting it should only be DECIMAL numbers.
For another example
The File looks like this (ASCII): äüö and after the converting it should look like this(DECIMAL): 228 252 246

A: Demo that got that result:
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string unconverted = "äüö"; // is what you get when using File.ReadAllText(file)

        byte[] converted = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(unconverted);

        converted = converted.Where(x => x != 0).ToArray(); //skip bytes that are 0

        foreach (var item in converted)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(item);
        }

    }
}

A: Thanks now its working as I wanted it.

Q: SQL Alphanumeric Sort on VARCHAR Column I'm dealing with alpha numeric column values that need to be sorted by letters and then by numbers.
Example of data:

*

*a1

*a10

*a11

*ab2

*ab21

*ab22

*a1a

*a1b

Needs to be sorted as follows:

*

*a1

*a1a

*a1b

*a2

*a3

*ab1

*ab2

*ab3

*...

Need advice on how to sort this in SQL.
Thanks.

A: The below may work for alphanumerics. However be warned that the behaviour is undefined for non alphanumeric values.
WITH A (A, N) AS (
    SELECT A, 3 + LEN(A) FROM (
        SELECT 'a1'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a10'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a11'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab2'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab21'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab22'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a1a'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a1b'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a1'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a1a'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a1b'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a2'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a3'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'a9'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab1'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab2'
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'ab3'
    ) T (A)
), B (A, N, I, C, D, X) AS (
    SELECT A, N, 3, CAST(SUBSTRING(A, 1, 1) AS VARCHAR(255)), CAST(SUBSTRING(A, 2, 1) AS VARCHAR(255)), CAST('' AS VARCHAR(255)) FROM A
    UNION ALL
    SELECT A, N, I + 1, D, CAST(SUBSTRING(A, I, 1) AS VARCHAR(255)), CASE WHEN ASCII(C) BETWEEN 48 AND 57 AND ASCII(D) BETWEEN 48 AND 57 THEN CAST(X + CHAR(10 + ASCII(D)) AS VARCHAR(255)) WHEN 58 > ASCII(C) THEN CAST(X + C AS VARCHAR(255)) ELSE CAST(X + CHAR(3 + ASCII(C)) AS VARCHAR(255)) END FROM B WHERE I <= N
)
SELECT A FROM B WHERE I = N
ORDER BY X COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN

The code currently sorts in a Case Sensitive manner, but may be tweaked to do a case insensitive sort as well, for example by using
ORDER BY UPPER(X) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN

or
ORDER BY LOWER(X) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN

A: You tried?
SELECT column_x
FROM table_name x
ORDER BY x.column_name ASC|DESC, x.column_name ASC|DESC;

It can often seem difficult to know which door to go through.
Originally published Dec 6, 2016 Updated May 6, 2018.
Whether you are an employee, a line manager or HR/Personnel department, very few people look forward to them. Some people like to hear how well they are doing or ask about career progression. If being honest, very few people actually like this time of year though. Some hate the form filling or time away from their 'real' job. Others struggle to list their own strengths or weaknesses. Some are simply happy living in the day-to-day bubbles and would rather be left to get the job done.
Typically this tends to be the manager talking too much rather than the employee, but it does happen the other way around as well sometimes. Although employees typically want to hear how well they are doing, most contemporary advice is to let the employee do most of the talking. It can be all too easy to reel of a list of mistakes the employee has made. Perhaps there is a long list of work that is outstanding or operational tasks that need to be shared amongst the team. All of these things are distractions from the main purpose of providing constructive feedback to help the employee improve where necessary.
Now whilst there is nothing specifically wrong with this, it does make it more difficult to openly and honestly talk about performance when money is involved. For companies that are only offering an annual appraisal rather than more regular sessions, it could be argued that employees may not have another opportunity to discuss pay.
This is nowhere near as frequent as it should be. How can either an employee or line manager be expected to remember things that went well or not so well from 11 months ago, or 11 weeks ago for that matter? Here at achievedly, we believe that regular ongoing feedback is the way to consistently and usefully provide feedback to employees or colleagues (don't just limit it to line managers, let other contribute to employee development as well).
Each manager or supervisor often has their own approach and take on the company guidelines. Some managers want to get the paperwork out of the way as quickly as possible. Others have been known to give employees better scores based on how much they like them.
Do you remember those school reports when you got good grades in subjects you liked? Then there were the other grades for things like Algebra or Home Economics (personal problem areas!). Despite never feeling that I would use algebra in the real world, it always saddened me to see my average A-B grade marred by the D/E grades for Home Economics. Much like being scored Excellent in communication skills and dealing with customers in an annual appraisal, when product knowledge or technical ability get marked down lower than other areas, it can have a real negative affect on morale.
So there you have it, my list of 6 key problems with performance appraisals. There will undoubtedly there will be other issues or problems in different companies or different industries. This list has been compiled based on recurring problems we have seen over the last few years. Working predominantly with blue chip organisations, these 6 problems with performance appraisals are frequently seen.
So how do we fix these problems?

The new government's intention on reviving the Colombo Megapolis project include making the Beira Lake area a major entertainment and recreation hub.
More developments are on the horizon in Sri Lanka as plans to modernize Colombo and the greater Western Province into a regional hub are in full swing, with the assistance and support of a Singaporean firm (refer source below). The plan will revolutionize and transform the entire Western Province into one of South Asia's most prominent region, housing around 8.3 million people and stretching all the way from Beruwala to Negombo with Colombo as the core city. Colombo, in particular, will evolve into a major centre capable of competing with other regional giants.
The Beira Lake region will become a key attraction of Colombo by evolving into its major entertainment and recreational hub. The area, already known for its beauty, will become an even more welcoming sight by hosting the Altair Sri Lanka luxury apartment towers among an array of entertainment and recreational options that would satisfy even the most insatiable entertainment enthusiast.
Amid increased business activity in southern Indian cities such as Chennai and Bangalore, the establishment of the Western Region Megapolis would instantly make it attractive to many foreign businesses. In addition to its appeal to foreign businesses, the plan is also very good for locals as it embodies a "live-work-plan" concept that promotes a higher quality of life by enabling people to live within close proximity to their workplaces. It is clear that this plan will not only benefit business but also the day-to-day livelihoods of Sri Lankans and it's foreign residents.
Greater regional planning and organization will make the region instantly become a beacon of investment, prime real estate and luxury in South Asia. With luxury and revolutionary development projects like Altair Sri Lanka already underway, this initiative will undoubtedly lead to greater property investment and the accentuation of Colombo as the crème de la crème of South Asian mega-cities. Luxury Condominiums in Sri Lanka.
Good progress has been made in the month of March and everyone is working hard to complete our luxury apartment complex, which will stand at an incredible height of 240 meters upon completion. Below are several images of the progress being made in line with international standards: Altair, on track to be one its kind Luxury Condominiums in Sri Lanka. .Once completed, will be one of the tallest buildings in the city.

Nikki Novak in Sherri Hill at the 2019 Golden Globes
Awards Season always has us dreaming of the Prom Season ahead. This year's Golden Globes especially had us thinking prom because of one particular actress' perfect red carpet look. If you can't guess, or didn't get to watch the 2019 Golden Globes, the actress we're talking about is Nikki Novak! The actress stunned us on the red carpet by wearing one of our favorite designers: Sherri Hill!
A post shared by Sherri Hill (@sherrihill) on Jan 6, 2019 at 2:27pm PST
This is an extra special Sherri Hill dress, too, because it's one that you can wear to prom. She is wearing Sherri Hill style 52448, a brand new dress that's available for Prom 2019! The gown features delicate floral details that we're obsessing over. Nikki wore the Light Blue color, but this gown also comes in Coral, Light Green, and Yellow - all colors that remind us of the warmer spring months to come.
Since Sherri Hill 52448 is such a unique, stand-out look, we recommend keeping the accessories minimal, just like Nikki did on the Golden Globes red carpet. It can certainly be fun to wear a pair of stand-out heels, though, like Nikki's sparkly heels, since the overskirt is see-through! Grab a pair of heels similar to Nikki's with Jupiter by Touch Ups.
If you haven't heard the name Nikki Novak before, Nikki is known for movies The Holiday, The Bucket List, and Any Given Sunday. She is also a Fandango correspondent and film correspondent for The Today Show, Access, E! News, and Extra. Keep a look-out for her on more red carpets - you never know when you might catch her in another Sherri Hill dress!

Giuliana Rancic Rocked Sherri Hill at the 2018 Golden Globes
The 75th Golden Globe Awards was held on Sunday, January 7th in Beverly Hills, California. The vibe was much different than past award ceremonies. The 2018 Golden Globes, which honored film and American television of 2017, did much more than honoring celebrities. It was the first awards ceremony to take place after many Hollywood sexual abuse cases have come into the news as of late, and the awards ceremony made sure to take the time to address the issue.
Everyone dressed in black in solidarity with people who have been victims of sexual abuse. There was also talk about Time's Up, Hollywood's new initiative to get victims of sexual harassment in low-income jobs legal help. It also has a goal of pushing anti-harassment legislation.
The most talked-about moment was when Oprah Winfrey took the stage. She was on stage to accept the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. It was a special moment, as she was the first black woman to take home the award. In her acceptance speech, she honored the past, and urged all to be hopeful for the future. If you missed the moving speech, watch it below.
Oprah's speech was so powerful, and to see all of the celebrity women walk the red carpet in black added to the special meaning behind this year's Golden Globes. This year's ceremony was a show of power, not the usual fashion.
With that said, we saw one celebrity walking the Golden Globes red carpet in one of our favorite designers. Of course we got excited over it! Giuliana Rancic rocked a Sherri Hill dress! She wore Sherri Hill style 51735, in black a conscious choice to support the #MeToo movement and women empowerment.
Giuliana Rancic is running the red carpet at the Golden Globes tonight in @sherrihill #51735 ??? #goldenglobes #redcarpet #eredcarpet #giulianarancic #goldenglobes2018 #sequins

The E! News host always has great style, so it was no surprise to see her rock a Sherri Hill gown. The top of the sparkling gown features a criss-cross neckline and keyhole. The bottom of the gown runs straight from her waist to the carpet. It was a classic silhouette, with just enough glamour for the perfect red carpet presence.
While this dress looks beautiful in black, and had a very important meaning behind the color for Giuliana, this dress also comes in many other colors. You can choose to rock it at prom in Rose Gold, Gold, Jade, Navy, Purple, Red, Royal, or Black like Giuliana.

Best and Worst Dressed at the 2017 American Music Awards
With the year coming to a close, another 2017 awards ceremony is now but memory. The 45th Annual American Music Awards took place on November 19, 2017 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross.
With the 2017 AMAs being the last awards show of the year, the pressure was on for celebrities to make best dressed lists. Outfits had to be on-point and paired perfectly with accessories, hair, and makeup. With the pressure so high, celebs either end up succeeding with flying colors or totally missing the mark. See our picks for best and worst dressed below, and even how you can snag those best dressed styles yourself!
Best Dressed at the 2017 AMAs
With Tracee Ellis Ross hosting the event, of course she is number one on our AMAs Best Dressed list. Our favorite look of hers for the night was the gorgeous burgundy sequined gown she wore on the red carpet.
Grab Tracee's AMAs style with Primavera 9713, a glamorous sequined gown that comes in burgundy just like her dress. This magnificent fitted gown is covered in a lively sequin print, from start to finish. Our favorite part of this dress has to be the mesmerizing illusion cutouts on the back of the dress. Click the link above to view it on our website!
Corinne Foxx
Corrine Foxx is taking the fashion scene head-on this year! If you haven't heard this name yet, she is actor Jamie Foxx's daughter. Earlier this year, she walked the Sherri Hill runway to show off the designer's new Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Now, she's walking award show red carpets... right next to her big-time celebrity dad, of course.
Do you recognize the jumpsuit she's wearing? If so, that's because she's rocking another one of your favorite dress designers: Jovani! The halter jersey jumpsuit she's wearing is Jovani 50908. It's a stylish and sexy choice that still oozes with elegance for any event, whether the red carpet or the prom dance floor.
Selena went for full-on rock star at the 2017 American Music Awards. We loved her leather jacket inspired dress, and her brand new blonde hair! The black stilettos and clutch and red lips were the perfect way to finish off her rocker-chic look.
While this is a totally original dress that's hard to duplicate, there are plenty of faux leather dresses you can choose from that are perfect for holiday parties, winter formals, or even prom.
Selena showed off her badass side on the stage, too, debuting her latest single, "Wolves," a collaboration with Marshmellow. Check it out below!
When does Lea Michele not look totally chic? Basically never. She chose a light pink gown that has us so ready for prom season! She kept her makeup and accessories simple to really let the sparkles on her dress stand out. Watch her twirl down the red carpet in her gown in the below video.
Get Lea's AMAs style with Faviana 10006, and off-the-shoulder dress that features a lace bodice and chiffon skirt. It's a soft and sultry look that's sure to have you twirling around the prom dance floor just like Lea down the AMAs red carpet!
With Channing Tatum by you're side, we're pretty sure there's no way to look bad. Jenna's got a style all her own, though, and she looked so gorgeous at the 2017 AMAs! She wore a sparkly nude color dress and couldn't have looked sexier. She even said on her Instagram account that this dress is one of her favorites ever!
Shameless dress pic. Because it's one of my favorites ever. Thank you @julienmacdonald ⭐❤
A post shared by Jenna Dewan Tatum (@jennadewan) on Nov 20, 2017 at 10:10am PST
To get Jenna Dewan Tatum's look for prom, go with Jovani 58506. This dress makes for a sexy choice with its all-over sparkles, side cutouts, and open back. It's a look perfect for a black tie New Year's Eve event or prom!
Worst Dressed at the 2017 AMAs
While we love all that sparkles, actress Yara Shahidi has a lot going on with her AMAs look. The combination of collared shirt, dressy shorts, trench coat, and knee-high socks with heels looks more like a totally funky day-out-with-the-girls outfit, rather than a red carpet outfit.
Madeleine Petsch
Black dresses are perfect for any event, but there's a little too much going on with Madeleine Petsch's black dress. A black dress is all about classic elegance; keep it simple, rather than trying to fit every trend, like feathers, lace, illusion, deep v-neck, etc, all into one dress.
We love Girl Meets World star Sabrina Carpenter, and she usually has such great style! But, she may have gone a little overboard with taking a cue from the funky styles she wears on Girl Meets World with her AMAs looks. While it's always fun to add a touch of uniqueness to your looks, keep it within limits for semi-formal and formal events.
We're not sure if Julia Michaels is trying to dress up as Lydia in her wedding dress from the Beetlejuice movie, a Christmas present, or a loofa Halloween costume! Either way, while bold red is a totally great color choice, the excessive layers of tulle are a little much.
Rene Bargh
We love army green, but it may be misplaced at a formal event, especially when paired with a statement belt like on Rene Bargh's AMA dress.
Remember, whether on the best or worst dressed list, there are always style cues you can take and incorporate into your own outfits. So, even if there are certain elements of the worst dressed looks you loved, don't be afraid to incorporate them into your next outfit! After all, the most important thing in dressing up is choosing something you're comfortable and confident in.

Jenelle Evans in Sherri Hill for the 2017 VMAs
29This past Sunday, August 27th, so many celebrities walked the red carpet for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, where they celebrated and honored music videos that were released between June 25, 2016 and June 23, 2017. Katy Perry hosted the event, and certainly made for a fun night.
Possibly the most anticipated moment of the evening was the premiere of Taylor Swift's music video for her new single, "Look What You Made Me Do." Earlier in the week, she had surprised fans when she deleted all of her images from her Instagram account, to be replaced by two videos of a snake. So, we knew something big was coming, and that something big was the release of her newest music video during the 2017 VMAs!
The video was much darker than Taylor's usual direction. The video was all about Taylor's reputation, displaying different versions of herself, including as a zombie! It was a direct jab at past issues with Kanye West and Katy Perry. So, it was certainly quite the statement for the video to be released during an awards ceremony that Katy Perry was hosting! If you haven't watched the video yet, check it out below.
Believe it or not, with Tay being the dedicated, creative artist that she is, Tay has already also released a lyric video version of her song. Check out that video, as well, below.
There were so many other memorable events during this year's VMAs, including P!nk's acceptance speech for the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. But, being Rissy Roo's, we're here to talk about the red carpet fashion, and there is one very important VMAs 2017 dress that we're here to share with you!
We know there were so many gorgeous looks on the VMAs red carpet, but there was one special look that really stuck out to us - a Sherri Hill dress! Reality TV star Jenelle Evans, known for MTV's shows "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom 2," rocked a Sherri Hill dress on the 2017 VMAs red carpet, and it looked so gorgeous on her. Check out a picture of her in the dress below!
The dress that Jenelle wore was Sherri Hill 50948, a beautiful two-piece gown that features a v-neck top with an open square back and a full, floor-length a-line skirt. The top is embellished Mwith a vibrant bouquet of floral embroidery that makes for a stand-out look against the black skirt. It's difficult to tell in Jennelle's picture, but the skirt features a hide side slit. Check out the dress on our website to see the slit!

Tallyraps in Johnathan Kayne at the Radio Disney Music Awards
The 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards were held on April 29th at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, with so many of Disney's most celebrated celebrities in attendance. With the celebs dressed in their best, of course, some of our favorite dress designers could be found on the red carpet. One of those designers was Johnathan Kayne!
The trio of sisters Southern Halo rocked the red carpet in Johnathan Kayne, and looked so gorgeous.
Breakout artist Tally, aka Tallraps, was set to perform at the awards show. She was ready to put on an amazing performance, but unfortunately her performance clothes never arrived. After asking around, Tally found Johnathan Kayne, asking for help days before the award show. Of course, Johnathan Kayne stepped right in. Continue reading →

Emma Stone and Jessica Biel Glowed At The 2017 Oscars
Jimmy Kimmel certainly made for a hilarious night, hosting the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday, February 26th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. From surprising a group of tourists by bringing them into the theater to meet their favorite celebrities, to re-creating a famous scene from Lion King, to tweeting the President, to his always spot-on humor, he had us smiling and laughing, a perfect balance to some of the awards winners bringing us to tears with their acceptance speeches.
While we loved the show, as always, our eyes were glued to the red carpet. The 2017 Oscars had so many gorgeous looks, but there were two celebrity looks in particular that we were obsessing over: Emma Stone and Jessica Biel. They both wore shimmery golden dresses that were reminiscent of the golden oscar award every nominee was hoping to claim as their own. Check out what they wore below and how to get their looks for prom!
Emma Stone at the 2017 Oscars
Actress Emma Stone wore a pretty gold gown with beautiful embroidered details and fringe, reminiscent of dresses from the roaring 1920s. She let the stunning dress speak for itself by keeping the jewelry to a minimum, only accessorizing with a ring and statement earrings. She topped the look off with bold red lips.
Get an elegantly patterned look like Emma's Oscar dress with Intrigue by Blush 315, an eccentric gown that's covered in an intricate design of glimmering sequins. The fitted bodice has a sweetheart neckline, just like Emma's dress, and sequined spaghetti straps, which cross-cross over an open back for a totally unique look. The column skirt grazes your curves, giving off a similar silhouette to Emma's Oscars look, then drapes into an elegant train.
Jessica Biel at the 2017 Oscars
Actress Jessica Biel went all-in with gold, rocking a floor-length gown with long sleeves. The beautiful sparkly dress was topped off with a gold purse and gold choker style necklace. because her accessories were as bold as her dress, Jessica kept her makeup simple, with a soft pink lip.
Sparkle just like Jessica at the Oscars with Primavera style 1743. Style 1743 is a uniquely beaded and sequin floor-length gown that features long sleeves and a train, just like Jessica's dress. Add more gold by pairing with a purse like La Regale RL50011 Mini Mesh Wristlest, or keep the accessories more simple and rock bold makeup and nails like in the photo above.
A gold dress is certainly a perfect choice for prom if you're looking to feel like a starlet on the prom dance floor. Whether you dress up the look with bold makeup, like Emma, or bold accessories, like Jessica, you'll be shimmering all night long.

Jodie Sweetin Looked So Sweet in Sherri Hill on the 2017 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet
January 2017 is here, and Awards Season is in full swing! Last week, it was all princess vibes at the 2017 Golden Globes, with both Lily Collins and Lola Kirke wearing pretty, soft pink gowns on the red carpet. This week, it's People's Choice Awards time!
The 43rd People's Choice Awards, which honored the best in popular culture for 2016, was held this past Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The awards show was so much fun to watch, and of course the red carpet was full of fabulous looks!
While there were so many celebrities in pretty dresses on the 2017 People's Choice Awards red carpet, our eye was on one celeb: Jodie Sweetin. If you don't recognize the name, you'll certainly recognize the character she place on TV. Jodie plays Stephanie Tanner on the sitcoms Full House and Fuller House! Of course, everyone loves Full House. Netflix has brought it back in such style with the new TV show Fuller House, and everyone has fallen in love with Stephanie and DJ Tanner all over again.
We spotted @sherrihill #50826 on the @jodiesweetin at the #peopleschoiceawards! #sherrihill #floral #rose #redcarpet #jodiesweetin #fullerhouse #peopleschoice

While we love watching Jodie on Fuller House, we couldn't believe how sweet (pun intended) she looked on the People's Choice Awards red carpet! Partly because she always looks so stunning, and partly because she was wearing one of our favorite dress designers: Sherri Hill! Continue reading →

Princess Vibes at the 2017 Golden Globes
With a new year means that it's time for Awards Season! Yesterday, Sunday January 8, 2017 marked the HFPA's 74th Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the night was so much fun, from the red carpet to the awards show. The ceremony honored the best in film and television from 2016 and took place at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. This year, Jimmy Fallon hosted, and awards were given out for all types of movies and shows, from "La La Land" to "The Crown." Meryl Streep even received a lifetime achievement award!
But, that's enough on the actual event. It's time to get to the good stuff: the red carpet, of course! With prom season just around the corner, the Golden Globes red carpet is a prime place for prom dress ideas, and the 2017 Golden Globes certainly didn't disappoint.
While there were so many prom perfect trends on the red carpet, from plunging necklines to sparkly sequins, there were two celebrities that absolutely blew us away with their dresses. Those two celebrities were Lily Collins and Lola Kirke! They both gave off absolute princess vibes in their pink ball gowns, and we couldn't be more obsessed. See what they wore below and how you can rock their looks for prom.
Lily Collins at the 2017 Golden Globes
All we can say is OMG! Actress and model Lily Collins knows how to walk a red carpet in style with her beautifully elegant pink lace ball gown. She topped it off perfectly for a classic princess look with dark red lipstick.
Get Lily's elegant pink princess look with Sherri Hill 50844. This ball gown features a fitted, satin bodice that has an illusion plunge neckline, sheer modesty panel, and U-shaped back. The tiered, lace, a-line skirt is cinched with a beaded waistband, totally reminiscent of a classic storybook romance, just like Lily's dress. Continue reading →

I was overwhelmed often by then US President John F. Kennedy for his charismatic leadership and his eternal love for peace. As the 35th President of the United States, he served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. Though he was from a politically prominent Irish-American Kennedy family, he was so down to earth and considered an icon of American liberalism. His bravery and heroism well reflected during World War II by rescuing a fellow sailor in the South Pacific.
He was elected as the US President in 1960, in one of the closest elections in history after he served in his home state of Massachusetts as both a member of the House of Representatives and Senate.
His inaugural address on Friday, January 20, 1961 to the Americans and to the world was a fascinating and heart-touching one. The events, just before the inaugural address are rolling into mind.
The election of 1960 had been close, and the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts was eager to gather support for his agenda. He attended Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown that morning before joining President Eisenhower to travel to the Capitol.
The Congress had extended the East Front, and the inaugural platform spanned the new addition. The Chief Justice Earl Warren administered the oath of office.
President John F. Kennedy addressed the audience where the Vice President Johnson, the Speaker, the Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy and others were gathered.
His statement in his eloquent voice that "we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning, signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago" was so heart touching forever.
The US President who came out with his inaugural address not only for his fellow Americans but for the entire world and faced the major crisis during his presidency, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, early events of the Vietnam War and the American Civil Rights Movement and tried his best to resolve those crisis, was finally assassinated on November 22, 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald untimely before he put a lasting end to those crisis.
Kennedy's assassination has left in America and around the world, a traumatic impact for centuries to remember for the world leader who thought for peace and harmony globally.


Korean Air is Korea's flagship airline and tasked Ogilvy Shanghai to craft a global campaign not only to re-launch the brand but also redefine how an (asian) airline should walk and talk. So, the Go Korean campaign was born.
An invitation to fly with the airline that believes different is good, that food should always excite and that beauty should always be captivating. Korean Air obsesses over the details so that you are free to let go, to immerse in a culture that runs deep.
We kick of with a brand film where we follow one passengers' transformational journey from the boarding gate doors through the jet tunnel where the immersive, Korean inspired world of Go Korean comes vividly to life on his way to taking his seat onboard. But we didn't stop there developing an integrated campaign that brought the whole new Go Korean universe to life across different medias.
Under the new Go Korean global campaign, Ogilvy Shanghai developed Food specific campaign, because Korean Air is dedicated to each part of the journey, and the meals are no exception. Ingredients from the airline's own Jedong Farm on Jeju Island highlight the local Korean cuisine served on board, complemented by imported foods from all over the world.

2015. Uber was growing faster in Portugal and taxi drivers were still stuck in 1520. Cooptáxis, a Portuguese taxi company wanted to shake things up a little bit and show everyone that despite they still being cataloged as old-fashioned / traditional taxi service, they can be modern in their own way.
