Local Marine and family receive financial assistance from FACE for injured puppy
Local hero Marine Jamie Davidson and expectant wife, Jacklyn, are receiving emergency financial support from animal welfare non-profit FACE Foundation. The Davidsons' three-month-old Australian shepherd, Jericho, was struck by a car and seriously injured in front of the family home. After a nearly-fatal wounding in Afghanistan, Jamie Davidson received a second chance at life, and now his beloved Jericho is in equal need of saving.
Last June, Jamie Davidson was shot in the arm while serving in Afghanistan. The bullet ricocheted in his body after its exit was hindered by his bullet-proof vest; the bullet then punctured his lung, broke four ribs, and settled in his stomach. Jamie Davidson died twice on the operating table, but he was resuscitated successfully. His memory was undermined due to extensive blood loss, and, currently, he undergoes both physical and mental rehabilitation. The stress of Jamie's war injury, Jacklyn's pregnancy, and now little Jericho's life-threatening accident has left the Davidson family in desperate need of the community's assistance.
In efforts to raise money for Jericho's surgeries, the Davidsons are selling all of their expendable possessions; halfway to their goal, the family still needs help. While FACE Foundation is granting funding to the family, it is not too late for the community to provide assistance. FACE relies solely on generous donations from the public. Donations for Jericho Davidson may be placed with FACE via www.face4pets.org.

    @ValidateNested({ each: true })
    @Field(() => [RuleInputDto])
    bulk?: [RuleInputDto];
}

here is my sample data i pass: object of arrays
{
 "bulk":[
  {
    name: 'After every minute',
    description: 'Will turn on device after every minute',

Location: Bellari District
Language: Kannada.
Hampi is an important touristic place situated in Karnataka state, India. It is known as group of monuments at Hampi. Located at 13km from Hospet, Hampi is an ancient place on the banks of river Tungabhadra. The site has been recognized as UNESCO world heritage site and is one of the most sought of tourist destination in Karnataka. Hampi was the capital of Vijayanagara Empire. Even though the site is in ruins now still it is reflects the grand culture and the architecture of Vijayanagara Empire through the temples, mosques, military buildings and many more. Every rock in Hampi has a beautiful story of the history so better is walk through the lanes of Hampi and enjoy every bit of it. Some of the important temples in Hampi are Virupaksha temple, Vittala temple, Hemakuta Hill monuments, Pattabhirama temple complex, Badavi linga temple and many more
History of Hampi
History of Hampi: The beauty of Hampi shows how important and interesting is the history of Hampi. At the beginning the site was under the rule of Maurya Dynasty. The edicts of Emperor Ashoka in Nittur and Udegolan show that the site was under Mauryan Empire. By 10th century the site became a centre for religious and cultural activities under Kalyani Chalukyas. After this the site was influenced by other dynasties and from 1343-1565 Hampi became an important site of Vijayanagara Empire. The Empire built its capital, Vijayanagara around Hampi site. The dual site Hampi and Vijayanagara probably became India's richest place and world's second largest city after Beijing. This was probably because both the place were on the Banks of River Tungabhadra on one side and hilly terrains that was surrounding the other three sides.
The city is also known as Pampa Kshetra, Kishkindha-kshetra or Bhaskara-kshetra. Pampa is another name of Goddess Parvati. The city has many mythological stories to connect the city with God and Goddess. According to Hindu mythological books, Goddess Parvati decides to marry Lord Shiva. On hearing to this news her parents discourage her to marry Lord Shiva. In order to make Shiva accept her to marry, Parvati disowns all luxury and started to live a yogic life like Lord Shiva. On seeing this lord Shiva accepts her proposal to marry. Also the river near the Hemakuta Hill came to be known as Pampa River.
Vijayanagara Empire built many temples in Hampi and also maintained a very good infrastructure. The empire improved roadways, waterways, agriculture, and transportation. The art and architecture of the temples were predominantly South India Hindu architecture. The Portuguese and the Persian traders called the site as one of the most beautiful place in the world.
In the year 1565, in the battle of Talikot, the Muslim rulers captured and beheaded the Vijayanagara ruler in a very horrifying way. Thus Vijayanagara came under coalition of Muslim rulers and the city of Hampi was burnt and looted for six months finally it was ruined. Hampi has around 1600 monuments that were mostly built during Vijayanagara period between 1336-1570. Most of the Hindu Kings of Hoysala Empire of South India built temples of Goddess Durga, Lord Shiva and Hampa Devi. Vijayanagara Empire ruled South India for nearly 200 years. Hampi is of the important site for Archaeological survey of India for excavations and to learn more about Vijayanagara Empire.
Temples of Hampi
Virupaksha temple: Also known as Pampavathi Temple, this temple is one of the oldest Hindu monuments in Hampi, South India. The temple existed even earlier to Vijayanagara Period.

Welcome, Terry!
Banishing Lazy Words
When I'm editing a book, I know that when I begin to get restless I've probably come across a nest of lazy words–words that are shorthand, or placeholders, for what I really want to say. Here are some lazy word indicators:
These, this, those, thing, stuff, some, about, just…and the dreaded "to be" verb (was, were…)
I often find when I come across several of these words on one page it means I was reluctant to dig deeper into the emotional content in the scene. When I buckle down and confront what I'm avoiding writing, digging deep to find the emotional core of the scene, I often end up writing a lot more words than I had before.
Here's an example of a piece I was editing for someone else. I ran across several places on one page where two characters were talking about, "This thing we have going," and "This thing we are trying." The "thing" the writer was talking about was a difficult relationship between people of different ethnic backgrounds. By repeating the words "this thing," she avoided addressing in depth the painful aspects of the relationship. The words fell flat on the page. Only when she changed it to say what she really meant, "Our risky experiment," and "The way we are thumbing our nose at tradition," did it begin to have the depth it deserved. Instead of a romance novel, it because more like Romeo and Juliet.
In first drafts, we often use shorthand for what we know is going to be a difficult description. But as writers we have to work hard to ferret out those lazy little words and phrases and say what we really mean. Not, "Amanda's bedroom was a mess. There was STUFF lying everywhere," or "I walked into Bill's office. There was STUFF lying everywhere," but instead, "Amanda's clothes were strewn on the floor leading to the bed," or "Judging from Bill's office, he was a guy who dropped whatever he was reading onto any handy surface as soon as he was done with it." Instead of saying, "there were several things he wanted to tell her," it's more interesting to read, "he stored up little criticisms that he could spring on her later."
Contrast these two paragraphs:
"They dated for a few months, during which he told several lies. Some time later, she tried to remember which lies bothered her the most. There was the time he told her he was an accountant and lost his job when the economy went bad. And another time he said he looked around for a job for a long while before he could find another one. But the worst was when he said he'd buy her some jewelry, and never did."
The fix:
"They dated for six month. After he disappeared, she found that he had hardly opened his mouth without lying. She bought into it when he told her he was an accountant, and lost his job when the economy went bust. She even believed that he pounded the pavement looking for a job for six months before he found one. But the lie that hurt most was that he promised to buy her a diamond ring, and he never did."
The first paragraph is full of lazy words like "a few," "several," "some, "tried," most," "there was," etc. The second one uses livelier, mores descriptive words.
When you read authors you admire, note that they pin down real time, real place, real emotion. It makes their prose richer and keeps readers engaged. It takes hard editing work, but it's worth it. It's the key element that will make your prose come alive.

One thought on "Banishing Lazy Words by Terry Shames"
Rhea Jones
This was truly an insightful article. It was only after reading this that I realised how true Terry Shames' observation is. I do this quite often and now I see how I wasted an opportunity to engage readers and yes, the words just fall flat which defeats the whole purpose.

When Tobacco Was King

Evan P. Bennett has a new book entitled When Tobacco was King. The Florida Bookshelf has brief description of his new book.
The Florida Bookshelf
Whe n Tobacco Was King: Families, Farm Labor, and Federal Policy in the Piedmont
Evan P. Bennett
In When Tobacco Was King, Evan Bennett examines the agriculture of tobacco, the South's original staple crop. Advances in technology and shifts in labor and farming policy have altered the way of life for tobacco farmers, but rather than putting an end to tobacco culture, these developments have sent it in new directions and accelerated the change that has always been part of the farmer's life. From Emancipation to the abandonment of federal crop controls in 2004, Bennett highlights changes endured by blacks and whites, landowners and tenants to show how tobacco farmers continued to find meaning and community in their work despite drastic changes.
Two Brief Reviews: China Dolls and Owen's Daughter
On October 13, 2014 October 13, 2014 By SandvickIn Book Review, FictionLeave a comment
Victoria Best has reviews of two books, Lisa See's China Dolls and Jo-Ann Mapson's Owen's Daughter, at her blog Tales from the Reading Room. Best found both of the books to be interesting and engrossing. Check out her reviews.
I was very curious to read Lisa See, having seen her previous books travel around the blog world to mixed, but mostly positive reviews. China Dolls focuses on the situation for Oriental immigrants in America around the Second World War, and in particular the life of dancers and entertainers. Starting in 1938 in San Francisco, three young women come together in friendship as they try to make a living, and a life, for themselves. Grace is American-born Chinese, running from an abusive father. Helen comes from a large, traditional family in Chinatown and Ruby, as no one knows at first, is actually Japanese but hiding it. The Oriental nightclub, Forbidden City, is holding auditions for showgirls and over the course of these, the girls get to know one another and bond, though the friendship they share will always be shot through with rivalries and tensions, caused by the competitiveness of…
Is Literature Disappearing Up It's Own A-Hole?
On October 10, 2014 October 10, 2014 By SandvickIn Literary FictionLeave a comment
A.M.B. at the Misfortune of Knowing addresses Horace Engdahl criticism of the professionalization of writing. Instead of having normal jobs, writers can now get support from foundations and educational institutions that allow them to write full-time. Engdahl thinks the failure of writers to get real jobs will rob them of the experiences they need to become good writers. She points out that there is a "kernel of truth in his words: experience matters." Do you agree with A.M.B.?
The Misfortune Of Knowing
Horace Engdahl seems to think so.
In comments to Le Croix, Horace Engdahl (of the Swedish Academy responsible for the Nobel Prize) criticized the "professionalization" of writing through financial support from foundations and educational institutions that allow writers to leave their "day jobs" to devote more time to writing. Noting that it's particularly a problem for the "western side" of the world, he said:
Even though I understand the temptation, I think it cuts writers off from society, and creates an unhealthy link with institutions… Previously, writers would work as taxi drivers, clerks, secretaries and waiters to make a living. Samuel Beckett and many others lived like this. It was hard – but they fed themselves, from a literary perspective.
If we set aside Engdahl's hypocrisy — he's a literary academic linked with an institution — there's a kernel of truth in his words: experience matters. Real-life experiences inform…
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber

A Little Blog of Books has a review of Michel Faber's anticipated new book The Book of Strange New Things. This genre crossing book combines science fiction and biblical elements to tell a story about a pastor ministering to inhabitants of another planet. Check out Little Blog of Books new review.
A Little Blog of Books
I was lucky enough to receive an advance review copy of Michel Faber's new novel 'The Book of Strange New Things' which is due to be published in the UK this month. It tells the story of Peter Leigh, a Christian minister who is chosen by a mysterious corporation called USIC to embark on an out-of-this-world mission to a planet called Oasis in a far-away galaxy. Expecting a hostile reception from the native population, Peter is surprised to find the Oasans are keen to learn from the Bible which they refer to as The Book of Strange New Things and discovers that he isn't the first pastor to visit them. However, Peter's pregnant wife, Bea, is struggling to survive as various apocalyptic events unfold back on Earth which is putting a strain on their extremely long-distance relationship.
The History Manifesto: Video Interview with Jo Guldi and David Armitage
On October 6, 2014 By SandvickIn Author Interview, HIstoryLeave a comment
The History Manifesto is new book from Jo Guldi and David Armitage that argues historians need to shift back to longer-term narrative history. This may help historians recapture the prestige and influence that allowed them to help shape public policy. The shift to microhistories (writing about time periods of 30 years or less) has limited historians influence. Guldi and Armitage believe that the shift to longer narrative histories will encourage policy makers to take a longer approach to issues relating to human rights and the environment. The authors want the entire history profession to shift to long term thinking.
Guldi and Armitage make a fascinating argument. Additionally, new digital analytical tools will make it easier for historians to research and write about longer periods of time. Whether or not this shift would increase the prestige and influence of historians is debatable. There are a number of reviews about The HIstory Manifesto online. Scott McLemee has a brief review of their book at Inside Higher Ed.
Here is a short interview with the authors where they describe their project.
The Best Books and Historians According to Pulitzer Prize Winner James M. McPherson
On October 6, 2014 October 6, 2014 By SandvickIn American History, American History Booklist, Booklist, HIstoryLeave a comment
Recently, the New York Times published a brief interview with noted Civil War historian James McPherson, The George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University. He is best known for his Pulitzer Prize winning book Battle Cry of Freedom. In the interview McPherson identified who he believes are America's top historians, the best book on the Civil War, the best military history books, the best books about African American history, most overrated history book (it's a biggie), and the book most responsible for shaping his career.
All of the historians and books cited by McPherson are outstanding, but they are representative of his generation. Not surprisingly, this was pointed out by several younger scholars on twitter. It is also not shocking his preferences were predominantly from historians of either his generation or books that he read during his career. In many ways books are like music, people like the music of their formative years better than anything that came before it or after. His choices are certainly understandable, but open to debate.
In the interview, McPherson often referred to an author, but failed to specify which books he preferred. In a number of cases, I have extrapolated which books he might specifically be recommending. There are certainly other books from the authors he mentions that fit his descriptions.
Here were his answers:
Last Great Book He Read:
James Oakes, Freedom National: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861-1865
Best Books on the Civil War:
Allan Nevins eight volume set on the Civil War –
1. Fruits of Manifest Destiny, 1847-1852

4. Prologue to Civil War, 1859–1861
5. The Improvised War, 1861–1862
War Becomes Revolution, 1862–1863

7 Reasons Why Ballet Dancers Choose Broadway
On October 3, 2014 October 3, 2014 By SandvickIn Dance, MemoirLeave a comment
Ever wonder if it would be better to work on Broadway or a Ballet Company? Lee Wilson explains why she ultimately shifted from ballet to Broadway in her this post. She is also the author of her new memoir, Rebel on Pointe: A Memoir of Ballet & Broadway.
Photo by Lesley Bohm
When Lee Wilson first began dancing, she wore tap shoes and took lessons in her neighbor's basement. "I loved the scraping sound of taps brushing across the cement floor, the clicking sounds of the heel taps, and the crash of a full-footed stomp," Lee recalls in Rebel on Pointe, her memoir that we published this past Tuesday.
But it was after watching ballet company after ballet company perform that Wilson found a new art. "Ballet gave me a glimpse of a different world order, and I wanted to be a part of that world." After dancing on pointe in Europe and with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet in New York, Wilson again felt drawn to a new dance outlet. "Every day, as I walked to the Metropolitan Opera House, I passed through the Broadway theatre district." Wilson resolved to "become a part of this magical, musical, mind-expanding world," and…
Reading Jane Austen with Vladimir Nabokov
On October 3, 2014 October 3, 2014 By SandvickIn Fiction, Literary Fiction, Non-fictionLeave a comment
How did Nabokov read Jane Austin? Janine Barchas has a fascinating post at the JHU Press Blog about how Vladimir Nabokov both read and taught Jane Austin to his students. Barchas closely read Nabokov's lectures and examined his "battered and marked-up teaching copy" of Austin's Mansfield Park. Nabokov's notations demonstrated that Nabokov not only closely read Austin's book, but demonstrate that sought to completely understand the world that Austin had created. We all should take Barchas's advice and read more like Nabokov.
Jane Barchas's is the author of Matters of Fact in Jane Austen: History, Location, and Celebrity
Guest post by Janine Barchas
Great writers are great readers. And nothing dials up the magnification on a book like the green-eyed gaze of a fellow author.
In 2014, many Jane Austen fans have been rereading what is arguably her darkest and most difficult novel in celebration of Mansfield Park's bicentenary. One unique copy of that novel, formerly owned by Russian-born American novelist Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), enables the rereading of one great novelist over the shoulder of another.
During the 1940s and 1950s, Nabokov taught at Wellesley and Cornell. He lectured there on fiction, placing Austen on his syllabus alongside Flaubert, Dickens, Proust, Kafka, and Joyce. The Austen novel he chose to teach was, ambitiously, Mansfield Park. Nabokov's battered and marked-up teaching copy (an Everyman's Library reprint from 1948) currently resides in the New York Public Library as part of the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection…
A Little Blog of Books has a review of one the Kirkus Prize Finalists for Fiction, The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters.
I feel very spoilt having two of my favourite authors publish new books this summer. First, 'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage' by Haruki Murakami and now 'The Paying Guests' by Sarah Waters. Set in London shortly after the First World War, unmarried Frances Wray and her widowed mother have fallen on hard times and are forced to rent out rooms at their home in Camberwell. Frances becomes increasingly close to their young and modern "paying guests", Leonard and Lilian Barbour. However, her relationship with Lilian soon triggers an unexpected and violent chain of events.

A year ago, Liverpool appointed Brendan Rodgers as manager. The reaction to Rodgers appointment at the time was mixed. Some fans, including myself, thought it was an exciting appointment, with Rodgers having impressed at Swansea the previous season. However, many fans were not convinced. Some thought that Kenny Dalglish should've been allowed to remain manager, others thought that a bigger name manager should have got the job; many others were angry that Rafa Benitez wasn't even considered.
That mixed reaction still prevails today. For every Liverpool fan who thinks Rodgers is gradually steering Liverpool on the right path, you'll find one who still doesn't know what to make of him, and another who is adamant that Rodgers doesn't know what he's doing and should be fired.
This manifests itself in the reaction to Liverpool games. Anything other than a win by a big margin provokes furious criticism from some fans. Should Liverpool fail to win, then the calls for Rodgers' head come out, irrespective of how the team actually played (my favourite unreasonable criticism of Rodgers that I heard this season came from a fan on a local phone-in who said Rodgers' failure to win the League Cup with Swansea last season was 'proof' that he's not a good manager; and that was after a Liverpool win!).
The question is, one year on, have Liverpool made progress under Rodgers?
Progress is a difficult thing to determine, as it means something different to everybody. For some, progress is only measured in winning trophies, for others progress would've meant a top 4 finish. My personal definition of progress this season would have meant a better league campaign, scoring more goals, playing football to a clear tactical plan and improving the squad.
Liverpool's final league position again isn't good, but it is higher than last season. While Liverpool never seriously threatened to finish in the top 4, they did give themselves a chance of doing so until a 0-0 draw with 6 games to go all but ended that challenge. The positives to take from the league campaign for Liverpool fans are that they gained 9 more points than last season, and only Chelsea improved their league points total by more, and they did close the gap to the top 4 from the previous season.
It should also be noted that Liverpool's second half of the season was pretty good. The team really seemed to adapt to Rodgers philosophy, losing only three games in the last 19 and played with far more consistency than in the first half.
Rodgers appointment seemed to suggest Liverpool would play a more attacking style of football and that's what happened. Liverpool improved their goals tally by an impressive 24 goals this season, and improved their shooting accuracy, despite having more shots this season. Following last season's woodwork woes, the woodwork still wasn't Liverpool's friend, costing them more league points than any other team. Overall Liverpool created more chances and more clear cut chances, which seems to suggest that the attacking play has improved under Rodgers.
While even the biggest critics of Rodgers accept that Liverpool have improved as an attacking force, they point the finger at Rodgers for Liverpool having a worse defence this season than last. I don't think that's the case. Liverpool did concede 3 more goals than last season, but they still ranked fifth in the league in terms of goals against. Liverpool also had the second most number of clean sheets in the league.
Where Liverpool's defence did suffer was the number of individual errors that were made. That number was 36, which is 20 more than the previous season. That number of errors was the third most in the league, equalling Wigan, and cost the team 10 goals. You could possibly put some of those errors down to the players adjusting to a new system, but that many errors suggests that it was down to individual lapses in concentration rather than anything the manager is responsible for.
One of the biggest criticisms I had about Kenny Dalglish last season was the lack of a clear, defined tactical plan. Liverpool last season played a style of football which seemed to be 'get the ball to the final third then see what happens' and, all too often, nothing happened.
Under Rodgers, Liverpool play to a clear plan. They play an attacking style, favour short passing wherever possible and try to press the ball as quickly as they can. Whilst opinion is very much divided about whether or not this is the right plan, and many fans are vocal about their belief it is not; nobody can deny that there is a plan in place and the team play to it. Something else I like about Rodgers is that he's not afraid to change tactics several times during a game, which has meant that I think Liverpool have been tactically more versatile than they have been in a while.
When Rodgers arrived, he inherited an expensively assembled squad that was badly underachieving. The previous summer, Kenny Dalglish and Damien Commolli spent huge sums of money on British talent such as Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing, to go with the British transfer record paid for Andy Carroll. It's a great understatement to say that those transfers were not a success and Liverpool were stuck with them.
When Rodgers arrived, there was an immediate question mark about the future of Carroll. Andy Carroll does have his strengths as a player, but he was never going to be mobile or skilful enough to fit in with Rodgers preferred style of football. It would've been hard to justify leaving such an expensive signing on the bench, and Carroll was allowed to leave on loan (another decision that split the fanbase).
Last summer, Dirk Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez moved on, which left Liverpool light up in attack. Worse for Rodgers, Craig Bellamy, who'd had a great 2011/12 season asked to return to Cardiff for family reasons just before the season started.
Worse for Rodgers, Liverpool's backroom set up when it came to player recruitment was below par. Rodgers hired a new chief scout and head of player recruitment from Manchester City, but neither were available to start until November. This meant that Liverpool failed in their bid to bring another forward in, with a public failure to sign Clint Dempsey (who I didn't believe Liverpool needed anyway), leaving Luis Suarez and Fabio Borini as the only recognised first-team strikers, a situation made worse by Borini sustaining an injury that kept him sidelined for a long period before he'd shown what he could do.
Borini's injury was one of several that Liverpool sustained in a very short space of time, with Lucas and Martin Kelly being ruled out early on in the season. This meant that Liverpool had to play a lot of untested young players throughout the season. In fact Liverpool started three teenage players on six occasions in the Premier League on six occasions; no other team started three teenagers once.
While some of those young players took to the Premier League a bit quicker than others, none of them disgraced themselves, and all of a sudden Liverpool's squad has far more depth, with Andre Wisdom, Raheem Sterling, and Suso all more than capable of slotting into the team when required.
Unlike several other managers, Rodgers didn't leave himself beholden to his initial opinion about players, allowing himself to change his mind. Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing are good examples of this. Downing started the season as third choice left-back, and was told he could leave. Downing could've sulked and waited to go, but instead, when he got an opportunity to play, he took it. While Downing's still not exactly a world-beater, considering he got as many Premier League goals and assists as I did in 2011/12, his production is much better.
Similarly, according to some reports, Henderson was offered to Fulham as part of a deal for Dempsey. The previous season, Henderson struggled with both the pressures that came from the large transfer fee Liverpool paid for him, and also Kenny Dalglish's decision to largely use him on the right of midfield. This season, Rodgers moved him to a more central role, which allows Henderson to use his range of passing to much greater effect, and allow him to join in attacks with greater regularity. Henderson went from being unwanted to an important part of the team in a short space of time, and fans no longer groan when they see his name on the teamsheet.
When everything was in place behind the scenes for the January transfer window, Rodgers did a good job of strengthening the squad. The lack of striking options was remedied by signing Daniel Sturridge, and Philippe Coutinho is one of the most exciting players Liverpool have had in years.
All in all, I believe the Liverpool squad is better balanced, younger, has greater depth and is stronger than it was 12 months ago. There's a lot of work still to be done, not to mention the impending need to replace Luis Suarez, but Liverpool have taken the initiative by already made a few moves to continue the rebuilding process, which makes a change from previous seasons.
While I do believe progress has been made, there are still a lot of improvements that need to be made for next season. While some of the football Liverpool have played this season has been breathtaking at times, most of it has come against teams who have been pretty open. Against teams that play a more physical game, Liverpool badly struggled. Rodgers has to come up with a way to stop teams from bullying his side into submission. There was also a tendency for Liverpool to be a bit too gung-ho at times last season, which left them susceptible for teams to counter attack too often.
Also, while Liverpool's shooting accuracy, both individually and collectively, was much improved on last season, there's still a lot of room for further improvement. Once again, Liverpool hit the woodwork too many times, and hitting the woodwork cost Liverpool more points than any other team this season.
Another thing that needs improving is corners. Liverpool had the most corners in the Premier League, but were one of the worst teams at converting those corners into goals. Too often, the delivery of those corners was nowhere near good enough and that needs to change.
Make no mistake about it, Liverpool still have a long way to go to get to where they want to be, but they do seem to be on the right track and there is real optimism for further improvements next season.
FIFA Club World Cup – La Liga team clear favorites?
Good article, well written. It's no wonder fans get a bit divided as the progress never seems to be clear cut at the moment. Rodgers seems to have a plan and the squad is moving forward.
One of the best articles I have read about Brendan Rodgers & Liverpool's progress over the last 12 months. In short, we played better football with a younger squad.
The manager was brave to change tactics & bring in changes during the match (Subs: Hendo-Wigan, Allen-Spurs, Cole-WestHam).
Flopped in starting Allen-Southampton & not starting with Sturridge in the ManU game.
We need improvements, like a CB, DM, RW & a CF (replacement for Suarez).
Overall I am happy to see the progress, and considering the money spend we need to give BR another 2 seasons to reach Top 3.
can't beat the teams above but beat the ones below barely just and you called that progress. The players are professionals who know the game. The tactical area is where he might not improve. How many goals were scored from corners. This gut only knows how to coach attacking midfielders not strikers. If you like the manager good for you and if others don't good for them. Progress will be judged if the team improves on last season's position e.g beating the top teams and crushing the bottom.

As part of our Future of Work feature focus, innovationcultures took a real world look at implementing the work place of the future at TD Bank.
We interviewed Mike Loftus, VP Workspaces at TD Bank's Information Technology group. He is an energetic and innovative leader that runs Workspace Services where he is responsible for the technologies that TD employees use to communicate, collaborate and be productive. He is also deeply involved in Flex Workplace, which is a real estate led program that is changing TD's physical Workplace.
"Ultimately, the Workspace Services program is trying to drive standardization, flexibility and efficiency in the tools, and our technologies are there to help staff really exploit the new real estate capabilities and enable the future of work," says Mike Loftus.
As I prepared for the interview, a few things came to mind. First, we are dealing with a large bank here and probably as traditional an organization as they come. Secondly, along with the iconic buildings and other physical artifacts that communicate trust, there must be a certain baggage that comes with the work culture. So how does a traditional employer such as a bank become a trend setter in work spaces? The answers came from three areas � the concept of the future of work itself (part real estate/space design and part HR), the enabling technologies and social business architectures, as well as the evolving styles of work and leadership.
How does an organization like the TD bank embark on the future of workspaces as a major initiative?
While we are a traditional employer, we are not independent of workplace trends. And yes, the iconic structure is there to exude trust, but employees worked – for the most part in cubicles somewhere.
We are looking at supporting the future of work spaces in two ways - B2E (business to employee) and B2C (business to consumer). Exploring the future of work for B2E is about consciously thinking of making employees better able to collaborate. The B2C area is really about creating the branch of the future. My area of focus is B2E.
How did this idea of the Workplace of the Future begin at TD Bank and why?
We are in year two of a multi-year program, currently mostly active in Toronto (Canada). It is a corporate initiative that grew around an employee retention program and is a partnership with corporate real estate and information technology.
It is really about informed space design. Technology is no longer an inhibitor. Work spaces now evolve around the employee experience and involve universal access, multi-screens as well as the use of hoteling concepts for office space.
Is the Future of Work more like an overall philosophy?
It's really both a philosophy and a scope. There are specific projects that will transform a certain number of floors and there are design patterns that include more meeting rooms, more technology and more light/air.
So are the benefits around savings in real estate costs?
I wouldn't say that was the total benefit. While there are better densities in terms of space because flex space allows for more employees per floor, but perhaps the more significant benefits are around employee engagement.
Speaking of scope, how many people do you have to support?
We oversee the personal productivity requirements for the bank for about 89,000 employees. This includes end-user computing applications, collaboration tools and communications technologies.
Wow, that's a big number! What kind of new use cases to you have to support from a technology perspective, for the workplace of the future?
With the focus on interaction, we need to support more access and the ability to roam. Both the technology and the spaces are reflecting the reality of a more mobile work environment.
TD has also gone large on Social Business – including online collaboration, communities, blogging, video and telepresence. And getting the right tools is non-trivial.
Does this also mean a paperless work environment?
I think "paperless" is a much bigger idea than either new WorkPlaces (the TD physical locations) or Workspace (the tools and software). We are driving a print rationalization project that includes some key concepts like "cloud printing", which the industry would call "secure or pull printing".
People issue print jobs, and then go to the closest printer, swipe their access card, and receive their print. This approach allows us to reduce the overall number of printers, prevents wasted print that never gets picked up from the printer, and actually protects confidential information.
We are definitely deploying this approach on all new WorkPlace floors. But TD has a much broader digitization agenda which looks to eliminate the core source of print in business processes.
What were some of the more significant technologies that TD bank settled on?
The technologies we're using in Workspace to enable better collaboration, and make the new WorkPlace more effective would include video conferencing via Cisco Telepresence and Jabber, Presence Management, Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing via Microsoft Lync, and the wide use of Wi-Fi too enable collaboration from anywhere. As well Lotus Connections is how we are moving into the Social Business/Social Media World.
In terms of collaboration tools, are you able to get beyond document-sharing to a more embedded social business approach?
I think it's probably a little early to tell. People would say we have had great success in establishing communities, which grew for the most part, organically - but I am not sure we would argue that it has radically changed the way people do business yet.
Once the communications infrastructure is established, would you agree that if we are to replace the social glue of the physical workplace, then establishing social business approaches and technologies is key?
You would like to think so. But for some people that means simply instant messaging and telepresence, for others the social media community is key. Employees will find the technologies that work for them.
What do you think the benefit of newer collaboration tools has been?
For the time being we are really focused on adoption, so no real metrics at this point. The real benefit is agility and cadence – they help you move faster. With social business tools you also get alignment because of easier sharing.
How is the TD Bank dealing with the BYOD trend?
We are exploring our options here but it may be conceivable that in two or three years, many firms may not provide the devices. It's the Carpenter's Syndrome – the carpenter shows up for work with his own tools.
Data is going to leave the devices and go to the data center or the cloud. The device is becoming the access tool.
How do you deal with the security challenges of this new work environment?
There are clear design patterns emerging to protect data in a mobile, BYOD world. These revolve around two core approaches. The first approach is to keep data off the access device by using browser based applications that do not allow data downloads. We are also using virtual desktops so that all of the applications and data remain in the data centre, and are accessed via specialized protocols from the access device.
The second is to create a secure, encrypted "container" on the access device, where the firm can control access to enterprise application and data, but not impact the employee's personal data and applications.
In your experience, what has been the generational impact of these work place and technology changes? Gen Y vs. Boomers?
My observation is that it has been less generational and more one of preferred working style when it comes to technology – some older folks are quite comfortable with the new model. Now regardless of generation, with flex space the non-assigned work stations require you to hit our kiosk and book your station. People that tend to be in the same place 4 or 5 day a week are struggling to get assigned work stations vs. mobile, so we trying to increase the awareness of the value of mobility.
But is every job made better by mobility?
While we do have an objective that a certain percentage of the floor is for mobile workers, that objective is based on a number of factors which includes reaching our cost targets but also on surveys and behaviors of workers. So the reality is that we based it on some pretty standardized facts about our workforce.
Have you seen a change in leadership style with the work spaces, for example in folks that report to you?
Our team is poster children for this. We used to be spread over many buildings and now we all congregate in the same floor with meeting spaces and can collaborate more. While we still move around a lot, the flex floor gives us the chance to still bump into each other and have ad hoc meetings. My staff and I love it.
I can see that this would likely be better than telecommuting where you have more extreme decentralization without the serendipity of physically connecting.
Absolutely and another aspect that is great is that the floors are beautifully done in terms of color and light.
Any adoption of a Results Only Work Environment (ROWE)?
Interesting thought but I find it would difficult to implement in non-revenue areas where the results and targets are more ambiguous. In areas like sales, revenue, customer services it could work but if you think of the average work of an IT architect or engineer, it would more difficult to view the results.While it is part of the dialogue, we live in a complex corporate structure, so a strict ROWE approach would be difficult and your physical presence still counts.
Finally, is there a Work-Life balance in an always on, always connected world and does the bank keep any policies or implicit work norms?
I don't know that we have any hard guidelines on this. We may have an aspirational stance that we provide the technologies that provide the flexibility of working from anywhere and they can manage it.
On a personal note, the modern world is such that we don't turn off our brains at 5pm – and that doesn't mean you have to stay at work or pound on a keyboard all night. I like to think of it more like work-life integration.
What is your favorite way to start your work day: Coffee, Tea, Latte or Espresso?
On the patio with a glass of wine. If you need to think freely, you need to relax.
What is your favorite tech gadget?
What is the best thing about being the 'work space of the future' guy?
That we are on the front lines of something that does not have a consensus view. And there is no right answer - people will evolve a working style that fits them and they will use whatever part of the technologies and facilities that work for them.

I Love the 90s: Peugeot Edition
Thank you spellcheck
French car brand Peugeot is staging a comeback in the U.S., where it hasn't had a major presence since Nirvana was it.
Peugeot (thank you spellcheck) isn't certain on the timing for its return stateside. In fact, it could be as late as 2026…though execs say the sooner the better.
But after turning around its European business—and watching experts pencil in a flat European auto market this year—Peugeot wants to tap into North America's growth.
The background: Peugeot has been looking for the best way to get back into the U.S. market for a couple years now. Its parent company Groupe PSA has focused on mobility service ventures so far, most recently with a car-sharing app called Free2Move in D.C. last year.
The company wants to launch that service in major cities across the U.S. and Canada, using it as a gauge for consumer demand so execs can pick the best model for Peugeot's grand reentrance.
For your consideration: The last foreign auto brand to successfully establish itself in the U.S. market? South Korea's Kia Motors…in 1992.

Eierland () is a former island in the Netherlands. It is now the northern part of the island of Texel. The name means "egg land", named for the seagull eggs that were collected on the island and sent to Amsterdam.

The island of Eierland was a part of Vlieland until the 13th century, when it became a separate island. During the 16th century, a sand bank grew in the sea arm between Texel and Eierland, which eventually was submerged only at extremely high tide. In 1629 and 1630, a dam was built connecting the two islands, and Eierland ceased to exist as a separate island.

The shallow waters between the two islands were sold to a group of developers led by trader Nicolaas de Cock from Antwerp in 1835. Within twenty weeks, a dyke was built around this area, and a polder was created, the Eierlandse Polder. This meant a significant enlargement of the island of Texel.

The lighthouse of Texel, the Eierland Lighthouse, is located on the northern tip of the former island. This area was formerly known as het Engels Kerkhof, the English Cemetery. Many sailors from nearby shipwrecks were buried here.

The village of De Cocksdorp (named after Nicolaas de Cock) and the hamlets Midden-Eierland and Zuid-Eierland are located in the Eierlandse Polder.

Elizabeth Warren got her auto-da-fe this week, as the CEO of Wells Fargo appeared before a Senate Committee to answer questions about the bank's cross-selling scandal.
Earlier this month, the bank agreed to pay $185 million to federal regulators and the city of Los Angeles after it came to light that thousands of workers had opened fraudulent accounts in order to earn pay rewards under Wells Fargo's ambitious employee incentive program.
Many of the phony accounts were opened in the names of actual customers.
Sen. Warren, the progressive crusader from Massachusetts, made the most of her opportunity, calling Wells boss John Stumpf "gutless" and urging him to resign.
Whether Mr. Stumpf falls on his sword remains to be seen. Clearly the financial institution's management team failed miserably on a number of levels and deserves to be held accountable.
If any customers were injured by the behavior of Wells employees — perhaps through lower credit ratings, identity theft and the like — they deserve to be duly compensated.
Meanwhile, the show on Capitol Hill made for wonderful sound bites, but not much else.
