Kachikwu. A three-syllable endearing, fascinating noun, at least for many Nigerians. But for SATIRE SATURDAY, beginning Thursday night when it finally metamorphosed, that word has become a verb.
To be sure, before now, it functioned prominently as the name of a serving Nigerian minister, regarded as one of the most refined minds in this administration. But effective Thursday evening, it now functions as a verb: 'Ka-chi-kwu'––to shamelessly manipulate and distort facts in a way so brazen and audacious that it murders, and violently so, every element of logic and decency.
Earlier on Thursday, PREMIUM TIMES published a fact-check which clinically showed how Mr Kachikwu, on several platforms, lied about his class of degree––both at the University of Nigeria and at the Nigeria Law School. Aside details of his Wikipedia page, the newspaper provided graphic, incontrovertible video evidences, and that's in addition to details of the minister's profile on the website of the ministry he heads.
But by evening on Thursday, Mr Kachikwu's Petroleum Ministry had murdered logic and decency. Idang Alibi, director of press at the ministry, supplied the most unimaginative alibi (pun unintended!) I have ever read: the minister only claimed that he had a first class performance and not a First Class Degree. (Watch video here and be the judge) Apparently banking on the support of this government's alleluia crowd on the internet, Mr Alibi said the minister did not lie about his class of degree––despite the naked video evidences staring everyone in the face. Ah, what an imaginative ALIBI (again, pun unintended)!
Now frankly, Mr Kachikwu's assault on semantics and the fact that he seems to be getting away with it remind this writer of the 'Amukun' phenomenon in Yoruba pragmatics. And at the centre of this sad development lies the bane of this nation. Let's digress.
First, Kachikwu and his strategists, SATIRE SATURDAY opines, replied Premium Times Thursday night when they knew Nigerians were fixated on former President Olusegun Obasanjo's endorsement of Atiku Abubakar and would pay little or no attention to the details of his own ordeals. And the strategy worked; or so it seems. One cannot read through his cringe-worthy response to the report detailing his dubious 'First Class' claims and not be in pains, ala Fayose.
Kachikwu is brilliant and has achieved so much for himself and so his dubious claim was needless, frankly. Class of degree is not the ultimate measure of brilliance. Many of the most brilliant, most imaginative folks around do not parade 'first class' certificates. So, as many have wondered, why would the minister serially tell such a barefaced lie?
Here is the big deal: Mr Kachikwu earned a PhD and must have been trained in the fundamentals of Rigour and Optics. He surely understands semantics and as a lawyer, can educate many on the legal concept of Passing-Off, too. So he is not daft.
The deal is Kachikwu knows the Nigerian crowd and he knows what the optics of such dubious, even if unimaginative, manipulation of semantics could do to perception. And in Nigeria's chaos-ridden field of politics where the dead could be so appointed into juicy positions, perception is everything – and this was much evident in the reception that trailed his comment at the COZA programme.
Perception could determine how far you would go in this chaotic space where people pay little or no attention to details beyond the buzz. Frankly, perception is largely why a Tunde Fashola, banking on accolades garnered from cash-fueled reviews in the media when he held sway in Lagos, would, in what many has rightly adjugded a clear assault on logic, be so entrusted with three strategic ministries!
But if you feel bad about the COZA reception, you obviously have not been following the reactions that trailed the minister's rebuttal on Twitter and elsewhere. He's been hailed as a decent Nigerian official for promptly responding to the 'nonsensical blackmail' and, expectedly, a few have chosen to attack the platform that exposed him.
So in essence, even if the serial liar (who incidentally is also a lawyer) knows in his heart of hearts that he LIED and evaded all evidences (including graphic evidences on the website of the oil ministry that he heads,), some Nigerians – largely BMC new recruits undergoing internship before confirmation ahead of 2019 elections – who saw all of these evidences have said that the medium is the 'overzealous'. You need look no further for the genesis of our woes as a nation.
I am presently reading a book on development and something struck me in the book a few days ago. The author, while dissecting the numerous challenges facing his local environment, averred that if a society cannot clearly define and label as evil what we so carelessly describe as 'small-small' misdeeds, such society may never fix other big challenges. It is difficult to disagree with him. Yoruba people have a little lesson in this context, precisely in what I call the Amukun phenomenon.
At the heart of Yoruba peoples' often hilarious yet didactic phraseology is the 'Amukun' phenomenon. The original saying goes thus: "Amukun eru e wo, (o ni) oke le n wo…e o wo isale". Yoruba loses its flavor when translated but here is a contextual meaning: "A distorted state of affairs can often be traced to an equally distorted foundation (on which the affairs are being conducted)". To situate it in the Nigerian context, one would need to picture the foolhardy act of expecting a public servant who so shamelessly lies about basic, verifiable things like his class of degree not to lie about opaque and largely difficult-to-verify concerns like contract terms and payments.
In other words, at the base of Nigeria's unquantifiable woes––poor road network, no water, no power etc––is our failure to pay attention to tiny details that serve as the fabrics of most functional societies. And because our leaders understand this, they exploit this to the full even if they dare not do same in societies they travel to for education and relaxation. Maybe until we realise these tiny details are so fundamental to building a sane society, we may not get it right. Maybe.
But in the meantime, Minister Kachikwu has shown every young Nigerian hoping to climb the success ladder (especially in politics where, if you blow not your trumpet, no one would do it for you) how to 'Kachikwu' their way to the top: embellish your paper qualification to garner favourable reviews and, who knows, appointments but be quick to feign ignorance if eventually busted.
And, finally, in case they need to reference the original source of this ingenious idea, he remains Dr Ibe Kachikwu––an otherwise brilliant and hugely accomplished lawyer.

Queens of the Stone Age's Polished New Sound on "Villains"
By Lauretta Charlton
Rhythmically, Queens of the Stone Age has always been razor-sharp, but on the band's new album, "Villains," it seems to have found a playful new groove.Photograph by Andreas Neumann
Founded and led by the six feet four, steely-eyed, tattooed greaser Josh Homme, the California band Queens of the Stone Age has been making menacing desert rock since the release of its début self-titled album, in 1998. Dave Grohl and Nick Oliveri are among its formidable roster of musicians. Homme's multiple side projects over the years have included Eagles of Death Metal; the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, with Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones; and last year's "Post Pop Depression," with Iggy Pop, but he has yet to stop nurturing his brainchild. Queens of the Stone Age has become one of the most consistent rock-and-roll outfits of the last two decades, releasing new material every few years, and giving the genre's purists reason to believe that, even if the music world is shifting at warp speed, the end needn't be nigh.
That is why it came as somewhat of a surprise, earlier this year, when Homme announced that, for the group's seventh studio album, "Villains," Queens of the Stone Age had recruited the English pop d.j. Mark Ronson, the "Uptown Funk" architect and Adele and Amy Winehouse collaborator, as a producer. Homme met Ronson while the two were working together on the Lady Gaga album "Joanne," and though he anticipated the backlash that hiring him would cause, Homme insisted that Ronson's comprehensive musical knowledge and work ethic made him the right man for the job. (Ronson is also a longtime Queens of the Stone Age fan.) In the process of promoting their collaboration, Homme has traded in his leather jacket for a blazer and a bow tie. It all may seem a bit contrived, but the collaboration wasn't designed to make fans feel comfortable: with "Villains," Homme has said that he wanted Queens of the Stone Age to redefine its sound for a modern audience, "burn the effigies," and rewrite expectations—even if it means putting the band's reputation on the line.
It's a worthy instinct, but the results on "Villains" are mixed. "The Way You Used to Do" is a belabored rockabilly tune posing as one of Ronson's Top Forty hits. The opener, "Feet Don't Fail Me," sounds like a strained attempt to find common ground between the likes of Bruno Mars and Black Sabbath. But the studio alchemy between Ronson and Homme is more appealing on "The Evil Has Landed," a song that showcases the band's sublime guitar riffs and psychedelic percussion while also creating space for more traditional, dance-floor-ready pop elements. Rhythmically, Queens of the Stone Age has always been razor-sharp, but here, and with Ronson's help, the band seems to have found a playful new groove. At its best, "Villains" is a welcome reminder that it is never too late to kill your idols.

2019 Mazda 3 Interior. This sophisticated magic size associated with any Mazda 3 car seemed just as innovative as your own continuous style. Some suggested that this may mean that Mazda uses this car simply by seeing that mule. While realizing that this may be the case, it does not change the particular fact, any new maximum of 3 will undoubtedly be unlikely to be all What is the difference in this existing vehicle?
We are able to anticipate any front interface that can be compared with similar headlights and networks. Special cars can get unique color techniques, the pair may be connected to innovative wheels, established different respectable lighting finish. Unfortunately, however, this particular point may be the place where the vast majority of those associated with actual adjustments can reach the special external situation.
Although a new SERP will not be set up, it appears that your least model in the selected car may still be in particular. 2. In the current unit, the normal unit is displayed. These details are still available on 155 horsepower and 154 lb-ft attached to the group's irregular torque. However, Mazda can also launch the ICCQ edition. This will be some sort of innovative work 2. Supercharged spark ignition engine that can operate on gas still uses the same concept when diesel engine.
The best part about this engine is that it will generally offer all the special features associated with a type of diesel engine without defects. The painful element is definitely your reality: the designated power station will give you 190 horsepower. He does not really feel that power. It was likely due to the fact that the private car was just any prototype for improvement so that we could do things that would certainly increase with it.
The reflection on what actually happened to your continued design, which might be imagining the potential of your Mazda 3 car would not be that risk-free entry. In the event that certain bad tongues turn into something in this case the car or truck is designated, they need to go to this market now near any means of expenditure involving 2018. They must remain similar to those with the current type. It is likely that any car or truck will boot about $ 19,000 using this most expensive version, taking into account a significant increase compared to it.
Mazda has launched its current version of Madza3 in particular in 2013, so it is certain that the private car is already refreshing. However, it appears that people are about to replace it with any new unit. While cars in particular may vary, it will not end all the new, as expected. As an alternative, your next Mazda will be more attractive to facial wash regarding this 3. It may consist of a new type of brand new SERP, a number of modifications that benefit this area of skin, however, especially in general.
The meeting is almost exactly the same as the brand in particular. While this is definitely not a good idea, it should not be a problem here. Why why? Well, the Mazda 3 is still going in particular in regards to a much better car type, plus it is still one of the best.
From a previous moment, this car can use Mazda Heavens Busy structures very busy, which are often compatible with almost all alternative cars. This inverted pattern allows the Mazda to provide a serious style and design that does not have many flaws. A real disappointment here must be electric driving. Unlike its competitors, they are in fact lacking in some of the information provided, which is usually a kind of small relationship. Shame Despite the fact that your car program has not changed, it seems, for example, cancellation. This was not the case for journalists to drive the new Mazda 3, as well as document some interesting conclusions.
These major modifications to this article often refer to the production of a particular car that is safer than gravity or more comfortable. There is no doubt that any new Mazda 3 car will contain completely new entry chairs which will often be able to disappear better with a new accident. In this regard, we can also expect this car in the future. Using the modified entertainment information unit and perhaps somewhat of a new set of devices. So far, Mazda has been taking advantage of analog calls, therefore, points can be changed using any 3 receiver that can be captured by a full digital panel again.
What will the cars of 2019 Mazda 3 Interior Sedan Mpg look like? What will power them? What are the exterior and interior conditions? What is the price and when will it be released?
Here are the most cutting edge technologies you can hope to to in the automotive industry in the coming future. Some of the considerable genius in the tech industry have joined forces with automotive companies in order to boost the way our automobile operate immediately. We will give a little description of the concept of this model for the next few years, even if only limited to the shot concept of this model and some photos from the preceding years model. If there is a adjustment, we will update for data updates, we hope you enjoy with a little information from us, and do not hesitate to visit our blog again. Thank you.

Klaehn, Jeffery: "Caring about legacy. An interview with Canadian comic book creator Ty Templeton." In: Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics 5.2 (2014), S. 229–235.
Ty Templeton is an award-winning Canadian comic book creator who has worked as a writer, artist, inker, editor, letterer and colourist since the mid-1980s. His credits include Stig's Inferno, Gotham Adventures, Batman Adventures, Hoverboy, Justice League Unlimited, The Simpsons, Ultimate Spider-Man, and many other titles for DC Comics, IDW, Marvel, Vortex and a range of other publishers. This interview details how he first came to work in the comic industry and explores his thoughts on the history of comics, Jack Kirby's contributions to the medium, what elements make for great superhero comics and how superhero comics have changed over time, the trend towards decompression in comics, Batman as the ultimate 'control freak', and why Selina Kyle just might actually be Bruce Wayne's perfect soul-mate.


In the Town Council Management Report released by the Ministry for National Development, Hougang and Potong Pasir both scored the lowest in the category for Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) Arrears Management.
Does this mean that the two opposition-held councils are the most compassionate when it comes to seeking payment from residents?
The fact that all the other town councils (TCs) scored either level 1 or 2 in this category may be quite telling. For example, were these town councils more fervent in bringing residents to the courts to recover arrears owed?
What are the percentages of residents who are served with legal letters of demand and charged in court for S & CC arrears?
themselves the real differences between town councils, instead of a summary report from the Ministry of National Development, which itself throws up more questions about the report's objectivity.
"Dr Teo on Thursday declined to identify the estates or specify how many councils have trouble getting residents to settle the arrears. He would only say that the proportion of households with overdue S&C charge payments ranges from 3 per cent to 9 per cent".
So, how is it that almost by some magical means, in the midst of Singapore's worst recession, all PAP TCs were able to achieve level 1 (7 TCs) and level 2 (7 TCs) in the S&CC Arrears Management category for the period October 2009 to March 2010?
To put it briefly, in September 2009, all PAP TCs had 3 to 9 per cent of households in arrears over 3 months.
In the MND's TCMR report, these improved markedly to 7 TCs with less than 3 per cent and 7 TCs with less than 4 per cent of its residents in arrears.
The TC which had a 9 per cent arrears rate must have worked really hard to get their residents to pay up!
How many residents in total in Singapore are unable to pay their S&CC? 30,000? 40,000?
I find the figures for the "proportion of S&CC amount overdue for 3 months or more" to be quite alarming, as both Hougang and Potong Pasir at level 5 means that the total amount overdue for 3 months or more would be more than 60 per cent of the total monthly S&CC collectible.
So, does this mean that many more people who live in Hougang and Potong Pasir were in greater financial difficulties than those who live in the PAP TCs?
While only two PAP TCs were at level 2, the proportion of arrears was still a significant 30 to less than 40 per cent.
The twelve PAP TCs at level 1 means that up to 30 per cent are in arrears.
Why are there so many residents who are unable to pay so much of their S&CC?
Since 13 out of the 14 PAP-run TCs have so many maintenance issues average per block, almost all HDB estates are poorly maintained, and not just Hougang and Potong Pasir, as the report indicated.
Since I understand that these issues refer generally to broken or defective wall tiles, benches, staircase railings, electrical fittings and playground equipment, does the report indicate that all HDB estates are generally poorly maintained?
And this is despite the TCs being given advance notice of six months, so that one would have thought that they would have already done what they could to spruce up their estates.
Is it not somewhat ironic that the report urged "[residents] in genuine financial hardship and face difficulty" in paying their S&CC arrears should approach their town councils which will better understand their financial situation" while the assessment on S&CC arrears is based on how well TCs are able to reduce the number of households in arrears and the amount of arrears?
So, the less understanding and compassionate the TCs, the better will be their score?
Perhaps the number of people in S&CC arrears should be of more concern than a questionable TCMR report.
Finally, what steps does the MND plan to take to help town councils to improve on their management performance?

If you are aiming at pricing your products for optimal turnover and profit, eBay's listing-based platform is totally different to Amazon's catalog-based platform. On Amazon, there is no need to locate competitors for your items, as they are right there – all under the same ASIN numbers. However, finding and identifying competition on eBay is almost an art form, as it is up to eBay's "Best Match" algorithm to bring up competing listings using Titles, Brand, MPN, UPC, and the endless combination of Item Specifics.
eBay is a competitive marketplace, especially for mainstream branded products. Whereas Amazon customers may make their purchase decisions based on reviews, delivery and customer service, eBay customers love deals. "Top Brands" and "Best Prices" has been the mantra at eBay and their marketing team push the messages.
On eBay, the market is price driven. If your pricing is out, you're out. Price-monitoring on eBay on every SKU is an impossible task. Thankfully, there are automated price tracking and repricing tools to put you ahead of your competitors.
A good eBay repricer tool finds the competition for you based on your data and your competitors' listing data. It tells you who your competitors are, what are they selling, when they are selling, how much the items were sold for, and how many. With such data, you can implement your pricing strategy effectively to achieve the best balance between turnover and profitability. You're in control.
Repricing is one of the latest and fastest growing tools on eBay selling. We are seeing an astonishing monthly compound growth rate of 30%. Let's have a look at the reasons why.
We all love the hunt and eBay customers are expert at it. They google the product specs, the model, and the color. They decide what they want to buy, and that's when their fun begins – who's got the best price on eBay? It is too easy for buyers to compare. It's too transparent with eBay's Best Match and Group Similar Listings.
With structured data on listings such as Brand, Model, MPN, and UPC, there is little room for product differentiation. The products are all the same, and they are all protected by eBay's refund and return policies, why should anyone pay more other than the lowest price?
I see this all the time. One eBay seller ambushes another by sneaking in a listing with the same Title but one cent cheaper. The result? The seller who is losing the sales won't know about it for days, sometimes even weeks.
Ideally, you'd want to do price monitoring for your eBay store regularly, say, at least once every couple of days. But in practice, once your store grows beyond several hundred SKUs, it will no longer be possible to do manual price monitoring. It's too complex and tedious. You could employ staff to do the job, but it is expensive, and after all, price monitoring is most suited for automation with algorithms.
Because it is "too hard", most sellers either don't do it or do it only to find it's too late. Once you start losing sales, your Best Match search ranking drops, which in turn further reduces your page impressions and conversion. You could find yourself in a downward spiral very quickly.
If you don't do price monitoring on eBay, you're exposed. Someone could be eating your lunch. We don't want that. We want a tool that can help you build your sales momentum, and always put you in the driver's seat.
StreetPricer is the latest ShipStation solution partner. It scans eBay for competitors of your store listings. Its "Radar" uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms so it can handle catalog or non-catalog items. For catalog items, operations can be highly automated, and in some cases, completely automated, depending on the product categories your items are in. For non-catalog items, you can use AI Scan to give you results, without supplying product keywords. Alternatively, if you are willing to spend the time to come up with keywords for your items, it always gives more targeted results.
The results from AI Scan vary, and it is quite dependent on what information you supply with your own items, and similarly what item-specific data is supplied in your competitors' items. In any case, you can set filters and parameters to tailor the results to your business.
A unique feature is its support of eBay's multi-variations. It has a "Show MultiVariations" feature, which cuts down the amount of time you have to spend sorting out all the various combinations between your items and your competitors'.
The #1 question I get asked all the time is "Is this a race to the bottom?" The answer is "Definitely not". I can see from the data coming from over 25 eBay and Amazon sites, 50,000+ sellers, almost 1.5 million listings that we are currently tracking, and 200,000+ reprices we do each day, that 49.3% of the reprices are upward movements, vs 50.7% of price reductions.
"Up" reprice means increased profit, and a "Down" reprice means an increased turnover. AI-based automated repricing is the best- kept secret eBay tool for 2018. You should definitely check it out.
ShipStation and StreetPricer are partnering to ensure your marketplace's growth. Together, we plan to assist you in pinpointing the best prices for your ecommerce store. Learn more about the !

UN Interpreter Job Description

Salary for Translation Jobs
Education Needed to Become an ASL Interpreter
The United Nations serves the cause of world politics by providing a forum where international statesmen can discuss issues and agree on compromises. However, not all these diplomats speak the same language. This fact demands that interpreters translate the speeches given by delegates so all can understand both the technical and intended meaning.
UN interpreters translate verbal comments to and from one of the six official UN languages of Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. In contrast to translators, who translate recorded or written communications after the fact, interpreters perform their tasks as people are speaking. They typically work from soundproof booths, where they listen to speakers through headphones and then deliver their translations through microphones. They may also interpret directly from the conference tables of speakers, or to a limited audience at press conferences and private meetings.
The minimum requirement for UN interpreters is a bachelor's degree from an approved educational institution, in which at least one year is devoted to interpretation, and passing the United Nations Competitive Examination for Interpreters. The exam may be waived if the applicant has at least 200 days of related work experience as a conference interpreter or in translating, editing or reporting. In addition, the waiver requires native fluency of the main or target language and excellent knowledge of at least two other official United Nations language. The third language requirement can be waived for certain language combinations, such as a native Chinese speaker with a command of the English language.
UN interpreters require great concentration and split-second accuracy to be able to precisely translate speeches as they are occurring. They must be able to cope with high degrees of stress because their interpretations can determine the course of international relations. Because culture can influence the development of speech, they must be familiar with the subject matter being discussed. Interpreters work with other language experts, so they must get along with colleagues, share credit equally with others and accept responsibility for any team issues that need changing.
According to Radio Free Europe as of January 2013, UN Interpreters can earn up to $210,000 per year, working in teams of two, with each interpreter switching with the other every 20 minutes. Despite the highly stressful environment, which demands personal methods of coping with difficult speeches, competition for positions is fierce. Only 10 out of 1,800 applicants for Chinese interpreters passed the UN exam. If they aren't hired for full-time positions, interpreters may work on short and temporary terms. The daily rate in North America for such positions ranged from $345 to $529, which equaled monthly salaries of $9,311 to $14,227.

Joseph Poprzeczny's review of Allan C. Carson's interesting book, Third Ways: Family-centred economies and why they disappeared (see News Weekly, December 22, 2007), left me with the impression that the quest for a feasible alternative to "freewheeling capitalism and collective communism" had now become an almost hopeless cause.
Yet populations such as Australia's present generation have never been in greater need than now to develop a counter to huge globalised multinational corporations.
With their access to vast capital they are rapidly destroying the few tattered remnants of our once diverse, locally-owned manufacturing and agricultural industries.
Surely our industry leaders and some politicians can uncover a fresh approach to "distributism" (a very difficult title) that would lead our country back from the doomsday of ever-increasing foreign debt and ever-declining employment in genuinely productive industry.
Perhaps part of the solution can be found through tax concessions to local cooperatives in both manufacturing and rural industries.
I hope to read further and more hopeful articles on this topic in News Weekly.
It is notable that neither contender in the recent federal election offered meaningful plans for reinvigorating our stagnant industry.

India in negotiations to supply Pakistan with LNG through new pipeline
Ranjith 25 July 2013
India's state-controlled gas company GAIL is currently negotiating with Pakistan to export natural gas from the state of Punjab via a new pipeline, to reduce energy shortages in the neighbouring country.
GAIL chairman and managing director B C Tripathi told The Indian Express that the company plans to build a new 110km pipeline from Jalandhar to Wagah border through Amritsar to provide natural gas to Pakistan.
The gas, in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG), will be imported at ports in Gujarat state and supplied by GAIL's existing pipeline network to Jalandhar, and from there through the proposed new pipeline to Pakistan.
Pakistan plans to import 1 to 1.5 million tonnes of LNG at early stages, while GAIL has already started pricing and other commercial negotiations with Pakistan, according to Tripathi.
Pakistan wishes to be exempt from taxes to reduce the price of the LNG.
In May 2012, GAIL and Pakistan's Inter State Gas System signed gas sales and purchase agreements with Turkmenistan's state gas company Turkmengaz for a proposed $7.6bn pipeline that will run across central Asia.

How Magento Powers the World's Biggest Brewing Company
By: Magento
Magento B2B Experience
The brewing company AB InBev started over 800 years ago, in the experienced hands of Belgian monks. It was in those ancient abbeys where one of their original beer brands, Leffe, was born. Today, AB InBev owns 500 of the world's most famous beer brands, including Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois, and boasts 56 offices around the world including Belgium, São Paulo, New York City, London, and Bangkok. With annual sales of $56.4 Billion, AB InBev is considered one of the largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the world, producing 613 million hectoliters of refreshing beverages each year.
"When I first got to AB InBev, I didn't even know what a hectoliter was," said Yang Tang, AB InBev's Global Director of Engineering, speaking at Magento B2B Experience in September. "I learned that one hectoliter equals 26.4 gallons–that's your average full-size SUV gas tank. So 613 million hectoliters, that's a lot of fill-ups."
Key to the company's success is their B2B business, selling beers to bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. This was once an in-person experience, with salespeople selling directly to bar-owners. To rapidly digitize their business, AB InBev implemented a Contact 2.0 strategy to complement those traditional in-person sales and encourage online sales. Since then, online customers and revenue has grown by 100X. But the strategy did create growing pains: Operations became decentralized, with multiple platforms, inconsistent experiences, fragmented engineering capabilities, longer new site deployments, tech debt, and higher maintenance costs.
AB InBev needed a serious digital transformation. They tasked Magento Commerce, their core technology partner, with optimizing their B2B operations. An upgrade to Magento Commerce 2 was required. "Many of our South American zones decided to use Magento Commerce 1, and as we evolved we started to move those zones onto Magento Commerce 2," said Yang. In the Southern Hemisphere, AB InBev's customers are smaller bars and restaurants, who make regular orders for cases of beer. They were identified as having high growth potential, but with an Internet infrastructure that was not quite ready. Using a responsive mobile site, Parceiro AmBev in Brazil now offers delivery tracking on mobile, so bar owners can watch the truck wind its way towards them, even on a slow internet connection.
"My business partners were screaming for expanded capabilities in financial services and loyalty," added Yang. "So we had to reimagine our technology strategy to put our customers at the center." Prior to AB InBev, Yang had served in leadership roles in Engineering and Product organizations at Walmart, eBay, and Accenture. The challenge at AB InBev was that they needed several different solutions to meet various customer needs, and each region came with its own challenges. Yang decided the answer was microservices. Integrated via APIs, these microservices provide optimal commerce, financial services, marketing, and loyalty solutions to their customers, while leveraging the same database, data model, and application logic for easier management by the global engineering organization. Microservices offer the flexibility they needed to meet regional requirements. "Teams from each zone (region) can choose from available services to gain specific functionalities that meet their unique needs. "
"To make the customer number one you must...build with speed and for speed," said Yang. With Magento, AB InBev could move quickly, start small, and add more investment as needed.The result was a B2B platform that is boosting the growth of AB InBev's far flung markets, where bar owners and restaurant owners can make orders directly with ease. Customer adoption of the system is high.
As he wrapped up his talk on stage in Chicago, Yang asked the audience: "So why invest more in digital transformation?" The answer is in AB InBev's motto. They want to build a company to last: 'brewing beer and building brands that will continue to bring people together for the next 100 years and beyond.' "To the victor goes the spoils," said Yang. "But the bottom line is you're never done."

It's official, people: the President supports increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour from its current $7.25. Such a move would drastically alter the lives of the country's working poor.
On Thursday, President Barack Obama announced his support for legislation introduced by two Democratic senators that, if passed, would mark the first significant increase to the federal minimum wage in more than four years. Obama's statements showed that he's ready to go farther than his February proposal to push the minimum wage to $9, which many criticized as not a significant enough boost.
A leap to $10.10, however, could be enough to push a large number of the working poor -- a group defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as those who fall below the poverty line despite working (or searching for work) at least 27 weeks per year -- out of poverty.
"Here's the bottom line," U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez said Friday. "No one who works a full time job should have to live in poverty."
The federal minimum wage is actually worth $2 less today than it was in 1968, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank.
The president previously pushed for a minimum wage of $9 per hour in his February State of the Union address. But that sort of wage increase wouldn't have dramatically changed the lives of poor Americans, according to a July report out of the Brookings Institute.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September that promised to raise the state's minimum wage to $10 by 2016. The move made the Golden State the first in the country to guarantee a double-digit hourly wage down the line.

Legal eagles score spots on Best Lawyer List 2020
Published May 27, 2020 May 28, 2020 AuthorPaige Carfrae
Griffith alumni have been named on the Australia's Best Lawyers List 2020.
High flying Griffith legal eagles have been recognised in Australia's Best Lawyers List 2020.
Several Griffith Law School alumni have found themselves on the list of Australia's best in the legal profession, with vast expertise covering the complex fields of energy, mining, natural resources, entertainment, intellectual property, native title and equity capital markets law.
Alumnus Alicia Hill is an Accredited Specialist in Commercial Litigation and has been included in the Best Lawyers List for the fourth time.
Alumnus Alicia Hill scored a place on the Best Lawyer List.
"I have been on the Best Lawyers List since 2017 and each year it always feels to me to be a privilege to have your peers consider you to be good at what you do," Alicia said.
Drawn to litigation, Alicia said she enjoyed the ability to guide and assist clients and parties to resolves issues that had become intractable.
"(Litigation) is a process that allows for the determination of an issue that the parties themselves have been unable to resolve between themselves," she said.
"I like that you not only get to provide advice on the law and argue which version is correct in any given situation, but also the ability to design and implement strategy to attempt to achieve a satisfactory outcome for the client in any dispute."
The commercial litigation specialist said she fondly remembered her time at Griffith, where she enjoyed great camaraderie between law students.
"We were the third class of the Law School to graduate and if there was a social function on, it seemed we would all be there," she said.
Dean of Law and Head of School Associate Professor Therese Wilson said it was wonderful to see so many Griffith Law School alumni listed.
Associate Professor Therese Wilson.
"This is an international list involving rigorous peer review by experts in the field, and to be included in the list is a testament to the high quality of work so many of our alumni are engaged in within the legal profession," Associate Professor Wilson said.
"Our Griffith Law School alumni, including those named in the list, are so generous in supporting current Griffith Law School students too, for example, through coaching, mentoring, and attending student careers events, which means we are already fostering many future generations of 'Best Lawyers'."
Other Griffith alumni included Aleisa Crepin, Shannon Etwell, Tanya Denning, Belinda Breakspear, Glenn Vassallo and Libby McKillop.
For more than 30 years, Best Lawyers has published the world's premier guide for the legal profession and recognised top legal talent in more than 70 countries worldwide.

I start by ganging together commercial EXIT signs, scraping them, then cutting them apart and recombining the fragments. The result is a new kind of sign.
It could be called anti-sign and even drawing-in-reverse, a process of gradually scraping away image, ink, and message. But in this reversal of additive practices, I'm building up form, structure, and space- all by elimination.
Scraping the signs with straightedge and razor, while varying pressure and speed, creates a range of marks between drawing and painting. And sculpture: Throughout this carving process, by barely skimming the EXIT surfaces away, I allow ink vestiges and gouged substrate to remain, literally exposing the inner core of the sign, to define new physical and emotional environments.
I carve irradiated vistas; with firestorms burning through those expanded and scorched environments- from behind. White light finally becomes the essential tool of both expansion and immolation, beyond the razor.
Elimination is my method of discovering what is left.


EXPATS in Spain and France have joined forces to launch a fresh legal challenge against the Brexit result.
It comes after the UK's Electoral Commission ruled that the Leave campaign illegally overspent by £675,000 during the run up to the 2016 referendum.
The request for a judicial review has been submitted to the High Court in London by the UK in EU Challenge group, which represents Britons living in France, Italy and Spain.
It argues that the referendum on Britain's departure from the EU was not a lawful, fair or free vote given that BeLeave and Vote Leave both overspent.
"We hope to demonstrate that you cannot win by cheating. If there is another referendum, there must not be a repeat of the illegal activity witnessed last time around," said Sue Wilson, of Bremain in Spain, based in Valencia.
While the UK government claims the challenge has come too late, this is being contested by QCs Patrick Green and Jessica Simor, of Croft Solicitors, who argue that the Electoral Commission's findings were only revealed last month.
They insist that the £675,000 that BeLeave spent should have been declared and the result is therefore null and void.
"Our clients contend that the prime minister's decision to trigger article 50 and start the Brexit process was based on a factual error, namely that the referendum truly represented the will of the people following a lawful, free and fair vote," said boss Robert Croft.
"We argue that the decision to trigger article 50 to withdraw from the EU was therefore not in accordance with the UK's constitutional requirements.
One expat Elinore Grayson said: "It is fundamental that illegal intervention in British elections does not go unchecked.
"The principle of nullity when a decision was made on incorrect or misleading facts is a longstanding one and we wish to ensure that continues to apply.
Although she is a useless, weak-kneed P.M. it isn't Theresa May dragging us out of the E.U. it's actually the poor, deluded, lied-to 17 million dupes who foolishly believed the criminals who fiddled the process.

Scorpio Mining Updates El Cajón Project Status and Signs Letter of Intent for Contract Mining at La Verde
Scorpio Mining Corporation
Jun 03, 2013, 12:58 ET
TSX: SPM
TORONTO, June 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSX: SPM) ("Scorpio" or the "Company") reports that the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) of the state of Sinaloa has declined the Company's initial submissions for Change of Land Use permits pertaining to the development of underground mining operations at the El Cajón and San Rafael projects and continued exploration drilling at El Cajón. As previously disclosed, Scorpio requires two independent permits in order to commence mine construction at El Cajón: the Environmental Permit, which was delivered to the Company on April 30, 2013, and the Change of Land of Use Permit.
Scorpio's wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Platte River Gold, S. de R.L. de C.V., will resubmit its application for the Change of Land Use permit related to the development of underground mining operations at the El Cajón and San Rafael projects.
In meeting with the Sinaloan delegate of SEMARNAT on May 24, 2013, the Company and its consultants were given directives towards filing a new submittal that would receive a more streamlined review than what was afforded to the original submittal filed in December 2012. A follow-up meeting with the technical reviewers of SEMARNAT to finalize the draft submittal is scheduled for June 5, 2013. The Company is encouraged by SEMARNAT's assistance in preparing a new document and willingness to review the application in an expedited timeline, and is confident that the revised submittal will be accepted given that no major deficiencies were identified in SEMARNAT's earlier assessment.
The re-submission is likely to postpone the onset of surface works at El Cajón by a few months, from early to late in Q3 2013. Likewise, delivery of plant feed from the initial stope production to the Nuestra Señora plant is now expected in early 2014. In the meantime, the Company is continuing with metallurgical testwork, mine design engineering and upgrading of the geological database as recommended in the Preliminary Economic Assessment to increase confidence levels in the mineral resources at El Cajón, providing the basis for conversion of resources into reserves early in 2014.
On June 1, 2013, Scorpio signed a letter of intent ("LOI") with a Mexican mining contractor interested in establishing a mining services venture to provide plant feed to Scorpio's Nuestra Señora processing facility from the former producing La Verde Mine. The LOI is providing the basis for finalizing contractual terms for a formal agreement. Production could be resumed as early as within one to two months following signature of the contract.
Pierre Lacombe, President and CEO comments, "This agreement will provide flexibility to our current operations, with La Verde having been shown as a steady source of copper and silver for the former operators of this mine. With the mining contractor identified to restart production having been involved during the last operating period, there is no learning curve involved and a fast ramp-up of production to past levels, in the order of 400-500 tonnes per day, can be expected."
Scorpio Mining Corporation is a silver producer operating in Mexico with significant base metal by-product credits. The 100% owned Nuestra Señora Mine in the Cosalá District of Sinaloa State, Mexico, has flexible mining methods and diversified metal production.

It is hard to believe, but a year ago today, you were still on the inside.
I'd had my first contraction by now—they would have started last night—and Daddy and I would be walking the loop from home to Bound Brook, down the beach to Duck Harbor, and back through the woods by the dike. We'd be excited, restless. I wouldn't realize it yet, but I'd be halfway through the fifty most exhausting and rewarding hours of my life.
This year, the day is very much the same. It is sunny and crisp and warm, an Indian summer day. We took a walk this morning, just like we did last year. But today instead of laboring we are playing hide and seek and buying birthday presents and baking a cake.
And while I wouldn't trade anything for last October 1, I'd much rather be here, today. Today you are a little person, a girl who babbles and crawls and whispers and waves. You are still the spitting image of your Daddy, and pretty soon I imagine you'll be walking. I can't wait.
In the meantime, here's a cake for tomorrow. Happy, happy birthday sweet girl.
I actually made another pumpkin spice cake before I settled on this one. The basics for this come from Heidi's Lemony Olive Oil Banana Bread, but as you can see a lot has changed. Sometimes I glaze it, sometimes I don't, but for the tomorrow I'm using her glaze.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, sea salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and all spice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, squash, heavy cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour into a greased Bundt cake pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the batter is just cooked through. It's better underdone than overdone.
Marvin Chester Gaye Hay has transmogriphied! We love you Sally (and E&A)! Happy 1st tomorrow!
Elspeth, thanks so much for sharing her with us!
Oh, the happiest of (belated) birthdays to sweet Sally!
This cake is GORGEOUS! Wishing I had a slice for breakfast right this second.

The beautiful city of Cordoba was once the largest metropolis in Western Europe. Remarkably, during its history the city has been capital of a Roman Province (Hispana Ulterior), an Arab state (Al-Andalus) and an Islamic state (Caliphate of Cordoba).
Cordoba is world-renowned today for its magnificent mosque, or Mezquita, which was first built in the 8th century and re-consecrated as a cathedral in the 13th century. The Old Town, which surrounds the Mezquita, is a narrow maze of haphazardly winding medieval streets. Within the Old Town are many of the city's main attractions, including the beautiful Roman Bridge and the fascinating Jewish Quarter.

HeifetzBach Kolsch Release Party
04 Apr HeifetzBach Kolsch Release Party
Three Notch'd Brewing Company
Join us for a special mid-week release of our collaboration with Heifetz International Music Institute, HeifetzBach Kolsch. This light, easy drinking spring seasonal pairs perfectly with the sweet sounds of Bach, which representatives from Heifetz will be playing from 5-7pm in the taproom.
We'll have specials on this special brew during the music.
"Heifetz Bach" Kolsch
This crisp, refreshing German light ale was brewed in honor of Johann Sebastian Bach's Birthday, (March 31st), and in collaboration with Heifetz International Music Institute and Shenandoah Hops, both of Staunton, VA. This easy-drinking beer has a subtle, soft fruity nose coming from the special Kolsch yeast used, balanced by a floral, spice-like aroma and flavor coming from Sterling hops.
About The Heifetz International Music Institute
Founded 20 years ago in 1996, The Heifetz International Music Institute is held on the campus of Mary Baldwin College located in Staunton, Va., for six weeks each summer. The Institute is highly selective, as hundreds of the most brilliant and deserving young string players (violin, viola, and cello) from all over the globe apply to the Institute for only 80 openings. In 2015, students from 12 countries and throughout the U.S. were admitted to the Institute for studies with world-renowned faculty, participation in the Institute's "Celebrity Series," "Stars of Tomorrow" "Heifetz Hootenannies," and other festival performances, instruction in the Institute's signature Heifetz Performance and Communication Training©, featuring classes in Voice, Public Speaking, Drama, Wellness, Movement, and Freedom of Expression, in addition to intense private lessons and chamber music coaching.

The 2016 Australia-Indonesia Centre Perceptions Report shows that a vast majority of Australians (75 per cent) associate Indonesians with their religion, which demonstrates the importance of deeper understanding of the country's majority religion, namely Islam. Recent developments in Indonesian Islam have shown worrying undemocratic signs, most recently the mass mobilisations of lower- as well as middle-class Muslims directed against the ethnic-Chinese Christian governor of Jakarta popularly known as Ahok. These developments appear to challenge notions that Indonesia could readily serve as a model of liberalisation and democratisation for other Muslim-majority societies.
Understanding such developments is important to Australia because they relate to the forging of attitudes towards politics, community and Indonesia's relationship with the rest of the world. This is especially so because Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world and is widely regarded as its third largest democracy.
What social conditions confronted in the everyday lives of urban lower and middle class Indonesians have created fertile ground for conservative forms of Islamic morality and how this kind of morality assist in coping with and making sense of these social conditions.
How distinctive forms of Islamic conservatism are making incursions into sections of the urban lower and middle classes, what are the material bases of such incursions and how do they relate to new anxieties and insecurities caused by precarity and immersion in an increasingly competitive economy set in rapidly transforming urban landscapes.
How responsiveness to the political lexicon of conservative Islamic morality is related to these developments, and how cultural consumption patterns and expressions of self-identities provide clues about the sources and nature of such anxieties and insecurities.
