Too often, we hear of stories where an organization embarked on implementing an ITAM program – only to hear later that the project was cancelled or postponed. The reasons for these cancellations and postponements almost always come down to one of three reasons, explained below.
I cite the three most common reasons and ways to rescue the effort so that the ITAM implementing organization gets the benefits it was initially seeking (and ideally more). The benefits include reduced risk of non-compliance and audit, and improved financial and business impacts to the organization.
The first question may be why the quotes? With regularity, ITAM implementations often occur as a result of something going bad. Did the organization get the dreaded audit letter –was the organization found with millions in unlicensed software? Once these events happen, with regularity, the CFO/CEO says to their IT manager, don't let this happen again to us – fix the problem.
When this happens, the CEO say's we need to implement ITAM. While obvious, knowing the underlying causes of the non-compliance is the only way to solve the problem. Too often, when speaking to organizations, they never investigate the root causes that lead to the issue in the first place. They focus on responding to the vendor audit and when completed, go back to yesterday's processes. They don't take stock in asking whether the issue was a result of lack of process, a lack of understanding how lawfully to use the software or a failure in monitoring installations of the software.
Learning the root causes and defining the scope of the ITAM implementation to address those faults, is the way to address the CIO/CEO's need.
Reason 2: I am not confident we know what IT assets we have (and what is being used)?
Audit tool providers have done a terrific job saying you can implement ITAM with their tool. If true, then why do most organizations have more than one tool? A tool is just that – a way to complete a certain aspect of any given job. A good tool needs to do more than just count. Not only do ITAM tools need to count what is installed, they should report what is being used. AppClarity provides both pieces of information. It also can change the conversation from one of non-compliance to yes it was installed, but hasn't been used in a defined period.
Let's be clear – change is hard. Some people embrace it; others loathe it. I had the opportunity to speak to a large organization who wanted to implement ITAM. They seemed genuinely interested in pursuing an ITAM implementation to save what they believed was millions of dollars on their desktop software. The organization was able to save significant dollars in the desktop space, and, as a result, expanded the original scope to the server side. Almost immediately, the project stopped dead in its tracks. It turned out the executive sponsor was not senior enough to tell division owners that they must be 'all-in' with this ITAM implementation for the benefit of the entire organization. The reason for the fail was simple. Each business owner, who paid for the hardware being consolidated, did not want to lose control of that budget (or hardware).
The executive sponsor did not feel empowered to go to the CIO given that is how they handled "ownership" of servers for as long as anybody could remember.
The moral of the story. Not only is senior level executive sponsorship and communication necessary, one must stick with the chosen scope or the desired outcome will not be a reality. This gives any future hope to subsequent ITAM implementations and undeserved bad name – and leads to continued risk. Over time, we'll cover more on the importance of scope and executive management engagement.

A Recommended Book from CrimeReads and Alma
From Nebula Award winner Sam J. Miller comes a frightening and uncanny ghost story about a rapidly changing city in upstate New York and the mysterious forces that threaten it.
Ronan Szepessy promised himself he'd never return to Hudson. The sleepy upstate town was no place for a restless gay photographer. But his father is ill and New York City's distractions have become too much for him. He hopes that a quick visit will help him recharge.
Ronan reconnects with two friends from high school: Dom, his first love, and Dom's wife, Attalah. The three former misfits mourn what their town has become--overrun by gentrifiers and corporate interests. With friends and neighbors getting evicted en masse and a mayoral election coming up, Ronan and Attalah craft a plan to rattle the newcomers and expose their true motives. But in doing so, they unleash something far more mysterious and uncontainable.
Hudson has a rich, proud history and, it turns out, the real-state developers aren't the only forces threatening its well-being: the spirits undergirding this once-thriving industrial town are enraged. Ronan's hijinks have overlapped with a bubbling up of hate and violence among friends and neighbors, and everything is spiraling out of control. Ronan must summon the very best of himself to shed his own demons and save the city he once loathed.

"[A] gripping mashup of psychological suspense and horror....The novel lifts off toward an exciting conclusion. Insightful social commentary is a bonus. Thriller fans will welcome Miller as a fresh new voice."--Publishers Weekly
The book is full of moments of slowly rising dread that end in shocking revelations, all of them building to a nightmarish town festival where the growing horror finally reveals its true face and intent.--Nightmare Magazine
"Miller's sprawling novel encapsulates the complex web of feelings brought on by witnessing the destruction of a town that made adolescence hell for a gay or trans teen.... Raw and volatile.... Highly recommended for anyone looking for a queer-themed, sea salt-laced dark fantasy."--Booklist (starred review)
"Miller (Destroy All Monsters) takes on cosmic horror with chillingly realistic results.... Filled with intense dread and unease.... This is a great example of how a century-old subgenre can still speak directly to today's readers."--Library Journal
"A successful 'influencer' photographer returns to the gentrifying hometown that nearly broke him, and all hell breaks loose. The Blade Between is as addictive and brutal as it is smart and challenging. Miller unflinchingly confronts the sins of our past and present. The horrors here are rooted in there being no easy answers despite our individual and collective souls being ultimately at stake. Plus whales!"--Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Survivor Song
"Supernatural and uncomfortably human forces threaten to rip a failing town apart.... An unsettling and visceral journey: powerful, twisted, and grim but ultimately uplifting."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[In] The Blade Between, the whole town of Hudson becomes a central character.... [A] sharp-edged novel... Stunning."--Locus
Like Clive Barker, Miller has a great talent for creating interesting characters and building up quiet dread.... Timely and interesting.--San Francisco Chronicle
Miller expertly addresses the dark sides of gentrification.... All the characters in The Blade Between are three-dimensional (even the 'villain').--Alma
"The best horror is always timely.... Enter Sam J. Miller's THE BLADE BETWEEN, a supernatural thriller that hinges on an eviction crisis. Miller's novel, which also touches on homophobia, income inequality, and America's refusal to come to terms with its history, feels like the most 2020 novel imaginable."--The Big Thrill
The Blade Between is more than a dystopian sci-fi thriller with a dash of poetry; it's an explosive narrative about a small town caught between the decaying ghosts of the past, the shattered dreams and mediocre lives of its residents, and the monster of gentrification that threatens to erase it all under shiny new buildings and fancy coffee shops. That Miller manages to discuss all three while also exploring the interstitial spaces between homosexuality, technology, and class privilege and resentment is a testament to his storytelling skills, and a powerful reason to read this haunting tale.--NPR.org
"One of the best books I've read in 2020. Miller's prose is phenomenal.... Miller has crafted a mature, thoughtful, and challenging novel that tackles the problem of being ethical in the world.... While The Blade Between is full of hurt people who are struggling, it's far from grim. The observational clarity Miller brings to the page is unflinching but, somehow, kind. He gives all these characters grace without erasing their flaws..... A discomfiting but vital story that throbs off of the page."--Tor.com
Sam J. Miller's The Blade Between stands out for its heroes' plan to raise sinister supernatural forces in defense of their city.--CrimeReads

However, the big question is, how much of these opportunities in its art and culture have been fully developed to attract tourists (locally and internationally), as well as earn revenue.As at 2016, direct contribution of Travel and Tourism to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was N1.86 trillion (1.7 per cent of GDP), but forecast to rise by 1.1 per cent to N1.88 trillion in 2017. But the figures presented in the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) 2017 report are proof that not so much contribution from the sector has reflected on the economy.
Given the plethora of opportunities provided by tourism, it is surprising that the industry has not received adequate attention in the developing countries where most of the natural tourist sites are domiciled, especially in Nigeria.Of course, more must be done to market this massive and profitable industry. This is because the country is yet to tap its full potentials.
For the bank's giant strides to support tourism, the Federal Government gave commendations for its commitment to the development and growth of the creative industry, in a message by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a two-day Creative Nigeria Summit.The bank had taken up a sponsorship of exhibition at the National Museum Benin, at the Exhibition Gallery of National Museum Benin by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, in collaboration with the Edo State Government, and the Smithsonian Institute, United States of America.
Also, Heritage Bank Plc partnered with the organizers of the International Festival of Contemporary Dance (IFCOD) to host the second edition of One Language, a musical production of intrigue, dance and drama.But most prominent of its partnership and supports is the yearly Calabar Carnival and Festival, tagged: "Africa's Biggest Street Party," created as part of the vision of making Cross River State the number one tourist destination in Nigeria and across the world.
The theme was chosen against the backdrop that Africa has always been known for migration and it has been the home of many cultures for many centuries. Presently, the world recognizes it as the new frontier, not to be exploited for the benefits of others but to be cultivated on its own. This theme resonates with the greenhouse effect which is the corporate identity of Heritage Bank, a development which encourages it to partner with Segaull Band, one of the entertainers that participated in the carnival.
The MD/CEO of Heritage Bank, Ifie Sekibo, said the theme of the carnival this year's event much to do with green, green-house effect and sustainability, protection and human development."As far as this is concerned, the bank will continue to support initiatives that have to do with sustainability," adding that migration is a depletion of human resources, depletion of values and depletion of human capital.
Cross-River State Governor, Mr. Ben Ayade, tasks the bands to interpret the theme of the event, "Migration", for the youths to see the need to remain in Africa and develop the continent."Our theme for this year should caution our youths about the tedious journey through the Mediterranean Sea and Sahara Desert to Europe in search of greener pasture.
The Seagull Band, one of the carnival bands registered in 2005 for the Cross-River State yearly Christmas festival, is known for its stylish and coordination, with the main objective of promoting and sustaining the tourism and hospitality industry and enhance the status of the under privilege through charity. It displays African culture through aesthetics, talents and innovation, paraded yearly during the carnival.
The band is under the leadership of Senator (Princess) Florence Ita-Giwa, a vibrant activist and a fighter for the people of Bakassi Peninsula. She's also a former senator who represented Cross River State Southern District at the National Assembly and a former Legislative Adviser to late Nigerian President Musa Yar'adua.
According to her, the relevance of theme to recent and trending ignoble migrant journey and the attendant menace is no less efficacious as it has brought the subtlety and complexities that characterise the infamous movement of people from less attractive zone to a more attractive one.She said the 2017 Seagull Band interpretation takes a prismatic view of the forms of migration and causal factors of human migration.
"The epicenter of this interpretation are the two major forms of migration- the 18th century infamous/involuntary yet monumental slave trade and the modern day voluntary slavery/trafficking of vulnerable persons.
"The tumultuous whirlwind and rippling effect of these forms of migration is brought to the fore," adding that, "international conflict and war as causes of migration also form part of the outlay," she said.
Besides the carnival, there was also the "Miss Africa Calabar Beauty Pageant 2017", which was won by Miss Botswana, Gaseangwe Balopi, 21.
Balopi emerged the 2017 African queen at the second edition of the pageant, which was a keenly contested in a four-round appearances with different attires by 25 contestants.
She took home $35,000 and a Ford Edge Sport Utility Vehicle as her star prize.Miss Rwanda, Fiona Naringwa; and Miss Luyolo Mngonyama of South Africa were first and second runners-up, acrting away $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.


We are in a state of turmoil and are stranded because we do not understand ourselves. Most people find it difficult to manage their lives because they do not know how to achieve the goals in their lives.
Already in our childhood we have tried to find happiness. And we're still looking for it. We hope to find it in the future too. What does this mean ? It means nobody is currently lucky, but hopes to find it in the future and everyone is looking for it now. We should understand the mental and physical "suffering." Our goal should be to overcome suffering and stay alive for our lives. The biggest obstacle to achieve this is our inability to control our thoughts. You are as strong as you can live without problems, bad will, misunderstandings, quarreling between children and parents, between men and women, between friends, between relatives. Then luck will not let you down. Due to bad thoughts, our minds get dirty. If we clash spiritually with nothing, we will not be the victim of our thoughts.
Cure, but we must treat our minds. The best treatment is loving kindness. If we're just watching loving kindness to our lives, we'll never bother with anything. The spirit that does not bump is free, clear, peaceful and calm. A calm mind does not take aggressive decisions. In order to lead a happy life, it is therefore necessary to keep loving kindness.
In the yoga center we will teach you the meditation of the loving kindness, as taught by Buddha. This will give you insight to lead a happy life. From my years of personal experience, I can assure you that you will benefit greatly. The meditation of loving kindness is so strong that people who wanted to get out of life for all sorts of reasons and couples with divorce plans because of relationship problems now live a happy life because they apply the meditation of loving kindness in practice.
It is with this positive progress in the mind that I invite you to participate in our program.

announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to Ifenprodil as a treatment for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Ifenprodil is the sole active ingredient in NP-120, an NMDA receptor antagonist and the Company's lead clinical candidate being developed for the treatment of IPF and chronic cough.
Algernon Pharmaceuticals recently concluded a Phase 2a study of Ifenprodil in patients with IPF. The trial met its co-primary IPF endpoint with patients receiving Ifenprodil experiencing no worsening of their lung function, and significant improvements were seen in the frequency of their IPF-associated cough as well. In addition, improvements in patient-reported measures of cough severity and quality of life were observed. Ifenprodil was also confirmed to be safe and well-tolerated in the study.
Supporting the development of and evaluation of new treatments for rare diseases through ODD is a priority for the U.S FDA and other jurisdictions including Europe, that have similar orphan programs. The designation is available only for rare diseases, defined by the U.S. FDA as those which affect fewer than 200,000 patients in the United States. ODD qualifies sponsors for incentives including tax credits for qualified clinical trials and a da exemption from user fees.
If a product receiving ODD is subsequently granted approval, it receives seven years of market exclusivity, meaning that the U.S FDA may not approve any other applications, including a full New Drug Application, for the same product in the same indication.
Christopher J. Moreau, CEO of Algernon made some comments:
We appreciate the U.S. FDA's decision to grant ODD status to Ifenprodil for IPF, a disease for which prognosis remains dismal, with 50% mortality expected within 3-4 years. This regulatory milestone comes at an important time in the development of Ifenprodil as a potential new therapy for IPF, as we plan the next steps for our clinical program.

1996 Sports: Traditional Powers Return To Glory
Dan Flaherty Sports History Articles 1996 Chicago Bulls, 1996 college football, 1996 Colorado Avalanche, 1996 Final Four, 1996 Florida Gators, 1996 Green Bay Packers, 1996 Kentucky basketball, 1996 NBA Finals, 1996 New York Yankees, 1996 sports, 1996 Stanley Cup Finals, 1996 Super Bowl, 1996 World Series, sports history articles
The year in 1996 sports was marked by one in which proud franchises or programs returned to the top after what each would consider a lengthy absence. Continuing the theme would be a singularly great player who made a celebrated return and led his team on a historic run.
We refer to Kentucky basketball, the New York Yankees and Green Bay Packers, who joined with Michael Jordan's Bulls to turn 1996 into a year of the return to greatness. Kentucky and the Yankees won championships for the first time since 1978. The Packers won the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly thirty years.
Jordan had taken early retirement following a three-peat championship in 1993, made a late return to the NBA in 1995, though too late to get himself into good playing rhythm. 1996 was a year MJ was out to make a statement and he certainly did that, leading his team on a historic 72-win regular season and a run to the NBA championship.
Two other teams reached the throne room of their respective sports. The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup and the Florida Gators captured college football's national championship, the first title for each.
TheSportsNotebook's series of sports history articles have put together six separate pieces on the championship events of the major sports. The links below take you on a ride to the Meadowlands, where Kentucky cut down the nets, and through the Rocky Mountains and Windy City and the championship rounds of June, in the NHL and NBA. Then move on to the Yankees-Braves World Series, Florida's crazy ride to Sugar Bowl glory and finally to New Orleans, where the Packers sealed their own return to greatness.
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS OF 1996
1996 Final Four: Showdown At The Meadowlands
1996 Stanley Cup Finals: An Avalanche Pours Down
1996 NBA Finals: The Bulls Complete Their Mission
1996 World Series: Dynasties Trade Places
1996 College Football: Florida's Wild Ride
1996 Super Bowl: The Lombardi Trophy Goes Home
Any sports year always offers a few little tidbits that a focus on the championship rounds can't cover in sufficient detail. In the pantheon of 1996 sports, let's give honorable mention to the following…
*Anti-Climax In The East: The Orlando Magic, with Shaquille O'Neal were supposed to give Jordan and his crew a big battle in the Eastern Conference Finals. Instead, Chicago's four-game sweep only validated the Bulls' greatness.
*LCS Controversy & Comebacks: The Yankees' win over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Championship Series did not come without controversy. The Yanks won Game 1 when a fly ball to deep right by rookie shortstop Derek Jeter was pulled out of the hand of Baltimore right fielder Tony Tarasco by a young fan, Jeffrey Maier.
Under the rules of today, where home runs are reviewed, this would be easily ruled fan interference. Even under the rules of 1996, it's almost unfathomable that the umpire placed down the right field line for postseason play didn't get in position to make the call. The home run stood and it broke a 6-6 tie, ensuring the Yankees at least got a split of the opening two games at home. The fact New York won all three games in Baltimore to clinch the pennant mitigated the potential effects of the blown call, but it certainly helped New York avoid a tough hole.
In the National League Championship Series, the Atlanta Braves were in a 3-1 hole against the St. Louis Cardinals and the Braves' bid for a repeat World Series title was in trouble. They responded with three consecutive wins by a combined 32-1 score. Now that's a comeback.
*The Stanley Cup Finals of Colorado-Florida was a letdown, at least in terms of matchup. The Detroit Red Wings had a historic regular season in the West. The Pittsburgh Penguins had the league's best player in Mario Lemieux. A Red Wings-Penguins Final would have provided excellent hockey and a Rustbelt rivarly. But the Red Wings lost in six games to Colorado and the Pens lost a Game 7 at home to Florida as each favorite came up one round short of the Finals.
1996 World Series: The New York Yankees Return To The Top
Dan Flaherty MLB History, Sports History Articles 1996 Atlanta Braves, 1996 baseball season, 1996 MLB season, 1996 New York Yankees, 1996 sports, 1996 World Series, sports history articles
The New York Yankees had not been in the World Series for fifteen years when they won the American League pennant and reached the Fall Classic in 1996. The Atlanta Braves had become regulars, with the 1996 World Series being their fourth appearance in the last five tries. Though the respective histories of each organization was quite different before and would be different after, the intersecting year of 1996 saw the Braves in the role of dynasty and heavy favorite and the Yankees of aspiring underdog.
New York did not have the feel of a great team. They had finished ninth in the American League in ERA, sixth in runs scored and their 92-70 record was good, but not the stuff emerging dynasties are made of.
They did have a tremendous centerfielder in 27-year-old Bernie Williams, who had a stat line of .391 on-base percentage/.535 slugging percentage, and had driven in 102 runs while scoring 108.
Paul O'Neill churned out an OBP of .401. Tino Martinez hit 25 home runs and future Yankee manager Joe Girardi was behind home plate and posted an OBP of .346. Wade Boggs, the 38-year-old third baseman who had made his legend in Boston, finished with a .389 OBP.
The middle infield got a jolt when veteran second baseman Mariano Duncan put up a stat line of .352/.500. And no jolt would have a more far-reaching effect on the history of this organization and the history of baseball than the emergence of rookie shortstop Derek Jeter, who had a .370 OBP.
New York's pitching staff was anchored by 21-game winner Andy Pettite, in the embryonic stage of his career, and John Wetteland at closer. They also had a young arm in the eighth inning role by the name of Mariano Rivera would work out pretty well for them.
In 1996, the Yankee pitching looked to be no match for Atlanta's though. The Braves were stacked, with John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, all of whom had sub-3.00 ERAs, all of whom will one day be in the Hall of Fame and Smoltz had won 24 games in 1996. The lineup had five players who had hit from 23 to 34 home runs, in Javy Lopez, Fred McGriff, Chipper Jones, Ryan Klesko, and Marquis Grissom.
The World Series opened in New York, with homefield determined by rotation between the leagues. The Braves were looking for their second straight title and 19-year-old Andruw Jones was unintimidated by the venue and the stage. He hit a two-run homer in the second and a three-run blast in the third, both with two outs. The Braves routed Pettite, Smoltz was locked in and a 12-1 win seemed to portend what was ahead.
Maddux took over in Game 2 and tossed 8.1 shutout innings. Atlanta scored single runs in the first, third, fifth and sixth innings, with Fred McGriff hitting two RBI singles and delivering an RBI sac fly. The Braves had the next three games at home and needed only two of them to clinch a championship.
The last two times the Yankees had been in the World Series (1978 and 1981) had seen one team fall behind 0-2 and then storm back with four straight wins. While neither case had seen the home team lose the opening pair, there was still precedent for that–the 1985 Kansas City Royals and 1986 New York Mets had each pulled off such a comeback. The 1996 New York Yankees just needed to change some momentum.
In the top of the first in Game 3, Tim Raines drew a walk, Jeter bunted him over and Williams drove in the run. David Cone outdueled Glavine and New York led 2-1 after seven innings. Then Williams finished what he started, with a two-run homer that opened a game the Yankees would win 5-2. It set the stage for two consecutive nights in Atlanta that would become a big part of baseball lore.
Atlanta came out in Game 4 and looked ready to get back in business. McGriff led off the second inning with a home run, the Braves chased starting pitcher Kenny Rogers with four runs in the second and tacked on add-on runs in the third and fifth.
Jeter & Williams got the comeback started, with a single and walk to start to the sixth and it triggered a three-run inning. In the eighth, the Yanks got two men aboard against Atlanta closer Mark Wohlers. He faced role player Jim Leyritz. It was a moment where Leyritz joined names like Bucky Dent and the soon-to-be-added Aaron Boone in Yankee lore. Leyritz unleashed a three-run shot that tied the game. In the 10th, Wade Boggs worked a two-out walk with the bases loaded to break the tie and the Yankees won 8-6.
If Game 4 had all kinds of storylines and what-ifs, Game 5 was just a great pitching battle between Smoltz and Pettite. It was a defensive blunder that would be the story, when Atlanta outfielders got crossed up on a Charlie Hayes fly ball, allowing it to fall and Hayes to reach second. He scored the game's only run. Wetteland closed his third consecutive game, coming in with Chipper Jones on third and one out and preserving the 1-0 win.
The worm had turned dramatically and the only way Atlanta was going to win its second straight World Series was if the unprecedented act of the road team winning every game in a seven-game series took place. The Braves had Maddux on the mound though, and Glavine for a potential Game 7, so anything was possible. But the Yankees got to Maddux in Game 6 with third-inning RBI hits from Girardi, Jeter and Williams. Jimmy Key pitched brilliantly and Wetteland closed out his fourth straight game and Series MVP honors in a 3-2 win.
New York was World Series champions again. It had been 15 years between appearances and 18 years between titles. It wasn't going to be that long for the next pennant and title.

Automobile Industry Forecasts 2017-2021: Focus on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan - Research and Markets
DUBLIN, Mar 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Automobile Industry Forecast to 2021: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan" report to their offering.
South Asian countries in the report include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. According to CRI's analysis, significant gaps remain in population and economic development among South Asian countries. By the end of 2016, the population in South Asia had exceeded 1.7 billion. India has the largest population of over 1.3 billion, while Bhutan has the smallest population of less than 1 million. In general, the economic development remains at a low level.
In 2016, Sri Lanka had the largest GDP per capita among South Asian countries, which was about USD 4,000. In comparison, Nepal had the lowest GDP per capita of less than USD 800 in 2016. Due to poor economic development, the minimum wage was lower than USD 100 per month in 2017 in South Asia. Sri Lanka has the lowest minimum wage, which was only USD 60 per month.
According to CRI's analysis, South Asian countries vary greatly in terms of automobile manufacturing and market demand. India has become the most developed country in South Asia in automobile manufacturing. Apart from two domestic brands, Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, some leading automobile manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Ford, BMW, Benz, Volkswagen and Hyundai have built factories in India. There are also a considerable number of automobile accessory manufacturers in India. In 2016, the production volume of automobiles was over 4 million in India; the sales volume exceeded 3 million. Meanwhile, India also exported hundreds of thousands of automobiles.
CRI's analysis shows that vehicle manufacturing industry in Pakistan has formed a certain scale but it still has to import a certain number of cars every year. Nepal has only one automobile assembly plant with a small scale, HULAS. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan do not have automobile manufacturing. Therefore, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan are entirely dependent on import.
It is predicted that though the economic development remains at a low level in South Asian Region, but it still has huge growth potential. Due to low labor cost, it is expected that the automobile accessory and vehicle manufacturing will develop fast in South Asian Region over the next few years. With the economic development, the market demand for automobiles will rise rapidly in South Asia.

Here at motorhomes campervans, we take a look at motorhomes UK with great interest. Let's face it things are always changing. We need to keep ahead of the game, so to speak. We find that by looking at as much information on motorhomes and campervans sales, is most helpful.
We also like to see information about cheap new motorhomes for sale. As well as motorhome holidays and motorhomes for hire. All these are key areas that are beginning to shape the leisure vehicles role. Also, private motorhomes for sale do they sell? In addition, how people view buying from, motorhome dealers UK. As well as how they are doing, in selling used motorhomes UK and renting out motorhomes.
We look at other publications like Autotrader motorhomes and motorhomes for sale Gumtree. Along with MMM magazine. All useful parts of understanding, what is and is not working. Motorhomes UK is a diverse search and marketing term. So, we hope the information helps any first time buyers find that dream motorhome.
No doubt todays motorhomes UK market is evolving fast. However, there are historic likeness to the UK car industry, of the past. The facts then were that dealers, had multi franchises. For example, Ford, Vauxhall, Rover, Jaguar all being part of various development plans.
Many, dealerships were then located in good central prime sites. With a lot of businesses family owned and 2 generations deep. There had to be change, but, it was all fuelled then by oversupply of new car inventory.
Will we see a motorhome hire business take a more dominant role? Will people follow the US, RV market? Where going to an airport two hours early, with limited luggage and load of security checks, makes RV rentals more attractive?
Key similarities today compared with the past?
some sites ideal for residential development.
today only (Marquis Leisure with 12 UK outlets).
European manufacturers poised to sell in the UK.
no pcp (personal car plans) for motorhomes.
finance led sales just beginning.
Will our addiction to leisure time, drive us on the rent a motorhome instead of buying one? This happens to be a leading question right now. With a screen price of £20K to over £100K, renting should appeal. However, where will the motorhomes rental figure in the motorhomes UK business model?
So, far we have seen a limited amount or motorhomes holidays rental evolve. We have seen the likes of unbeatable hire and just go become established in the UK and attract investment.
Are You Ready To Rent A Motorhome?
We believe that marketing motorhome rental has only just began. The popular places to go are events and festivals, Glastonbury for example. The fact is are there enough motorhomes available to fulfil the rental demand.
Motome rental appeals to the family as it can be very cost effective. No hotel bills, no planes or trains to catch, and you can take the kids, as well as the granny! Motorhome rental in Europe is and has been popular for many years. Motorhome holidays in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are well established destinations.
Try before you buy a motorhome is a good idea. Therefore, taking a motorhome holiday, is going to help you a lot. How things work and getting used to all the controls. Make this an ideal way to find your way round a motorhome.
Auto-Sleeper Ltd are based at the Autosleeper Factory, in the Cotswolds, in the UK. They are unique as they have been one of the UK's oldest motorhome manufacturers, in business for over 56 years! And still going strong!
All first time buyers better known as (newbies) are important. They are unique, as they need help and guidance, in buying that first motorhome. If a dealer dedicates time, they will be rewarded. Because, as a first time buyer they usually buy more than one motorhome in a lifetime.
Trigano Group the French group has grown as a brand in Europe. Mainly by the acquisition of buying other motorhome manufacturers. They have brought out established brands in Italy, Spain, France and the UK.
The Chairman François Feuillet, joined Trigano in 1981. In fact, the company was floated on the French stock market. The group has continued to grow ever since.They sell huge range of leisure related products, throughout Europe. Latest acquisitions being Adria 2017. UK Auto-Sleeper motorhomes and Marquis Leisure 2017. The Trigano Group takes in many established caravan brands as well as trailers.
For the motorhome brands and motor caravans see below the current list.
The Trigano UK acquisition, appeared to be quickly countered by the Hymer Germany. They just brought Elddis a UK manufacturer in the North East. They then set up Hymer UK. No doubt with the intent of developing better dealerships.
Elddis brand is a price led.
establish a better dealer network.
The Hymer motorhome brands and the ones sold in the UK. Being part of the Edwin Hymer group provides a wide access to many of the Hymer motorhome brands.
Hymer AG one of the largest motorhome and caravan manufacturers in Europe. The head office is located in Bad Waldsee, Germany. As time has gone on they have developed some sophisticated models.
In addition, to the listed company Hymer AG owns the brands that are sold throughout Europe. The UK have virtually all of the brands for sale via a dealer network that is growing.
The UK new motorhome sales are growing and 2018 were only circa 13,000 units. This does not reflect all the van conversions, that are becoming popular. Also, there are many van conversions on new VW transporter vans.
Here are the basic numbers of new sales that are available from the NCC.
13,162 new motorhomes July 2016 to June 2017.
sales exceeded 13,000 for first time.
estimated 6,000 were European motorhomes!
estimated van conversions 2,000 units.
Campervan VW conversions numbers unknown.
used sales hard to pinpoint in actual numbers.
Some chassis sold in the UK.
There are a number of dealers in the UK who specialise in selling used American RVs (recreational vehicles). There are others who will sell you a new RV and organise every aspect of importing the motorhome to your home.
Whilst American motorhomes are popular they are a bit restricted on the smaller roads in the UK. However, that does not deter people from buying that American RV. There is quite a bit of compliance to understand, however when carried out, you really will have a hotel on wheels.

Although a ubiquitous term, the acronym CSV has varied meanings depending on who you ask. In the data space, CSV often translates to comma-separated values – a machine-readable data format used to store tabular data in plain text. To many, the format represents simplicity, interoperability, compactness, hackability, among other things.
From when it first launched in July 2014 as a conference for data makers everywhere, csv,conf adopted the comma-separated-values format in its branding metaphorically. Needless to say, as a data conference that brings together people from different disciplines and domains, conversations and anecdotes shared at csv,conf are not limited to the CSV file format.
On May 8-9, 2019, the fourth version of csv,conf is set to take place at Eliot Center in Portland, Oregon. Over two days, attendees will have the opportunity to hear about ongoing work, share skills, exchange ideas (and stickers!) and kickstart collaborations. You are welcome to submit session proposals for our 25-minute talk slots between now and end of day, February 9, 2019.
The commallama has now become a big and fun part of csv,conf. How did we settle on this llama? What is its significance? Is it even a llama? We hear your questions, and implore you to join us in Portland on May 8 and 9 to meet the commallama and find out!
We are keen on getting as many people as possible to csv,conf,v4, and will award travel grants to subsidize travel and associated costs for interested parties that lack the resources and support to get them to Portland. To that end, we have set up our honor-system, conference ticketing page on Eventbrite. We encourage you to get your conference tickets as soon as possible, keeping in mind that as a non-profit and community-run conference, proceeds from ticket sales will help cover our catering and venue costs in addition to offering travel support for speakers and attendees where needed.
From the first three conferences held in the last four years, csv,conf brought together over 500 participants from over 30 countries. And 300+ talks spanning over 180 hours have been presented, packaged and shared on our YouTube channel. Many post-conference narratives and think pieces, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations have also surfaced from previous conferences. This is only part of the story, and we can't wait to see and hear from you in Portland in May, and are excited for all that awaits!
The UC3 team is part of the conference committee and happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to reach out to us at uc3@ucop.edu or to the full committee at csv-conf-coord@googlegroups.com.

Design and distribution of promotional leaflets, posters, flyers and other promotional materials.
For your successful promotion on the Web we can develop overall identity of your company or project, develop a website and prepare other promotional materials.
In today's high-tech environment, the Project Website/Portal is one of the most important dissemination channels.
EUROMOBILITA has the knowledge to set-up, host a domain, develop and maintain the Project Website or Project Portal.
For this we have a team of experts working on our projects and we always ensure the high quality our clients have come to expect.
Communication with target groups (visitors to the site, potential clients, stakeholders, media) can be made easier and more interactive using such forums as: On-line chat, video conferences, blog or subscription mailing lists.
Disseminate the company/project idea in a simple way and educate portal visitors.
Creating personalised online targeted subscription mailing lists, Members Area, Repository, FAQ, blog or other personalised portal content.
Encourage portal visitors (Privacy protected Members) to comment or interact with each other.
Development and Implementation of an (on-line) Questionnaires, Monitor Portal Statistics.
Euromobilita has excellent experience with designing, validating, implementing and populating research databases. An important objective of databases is to ensure regular validation, updating and maintenance of the data, which is an important aspect to keep them up-to-date.
Database Validation is an automatic check to ensure that the data entered is sensible and reasonable. Validation of the database can be performed on a monthly basis to ensure that the database is running on clean, correct and useful data.
Periodic validation routines can be performed and will check for correctness, meaningfulness, and security of data that are input into the system.
Database maintenance is an activity which is designed to keep a database running smoothly and stable.
In order to prevent data loss periodic backups of the database/portal can be provided using a separate storage system.
Regularly checking for any abnormalities in the database which might signal a problem is a service on offer. The goal is to keep the database operating smoothly for users, so that ideally they never need to think about maintenance issues.
Communication with the project target groups (visitors, potential clients, research institutes, media) can be easier and more interactive using forums such as: On-line chat, video conferences, blog or subscription mailing lists.
In case of a project with multiple partners/stakeholders, internal project mailing lists enhance the internal communication within the project members. Mailing lists serve as a primary communication channel where project members exchange documents, information and help each other during the project progress.
EUROMOBILITA can create, maintain and support multiple mailing lists for sectors within your company or for project purpose.
EUROMOBILITA can also provide set up, administration and maintenance of mailing lists. Add and remove users from lists and provide support for all users, together with statistics.
EUROMOBILITA can create Newsletters (including news gathering) in e-format together with a Page Flip format.
Regular Newsletters are an ideal news gathering method and a Newsletter takes about a month to complete start to finish and involves a lot of chasing for stories, proofreading and final check by the client. EUROMOBILITA can provide monthly requests for news items, collect together information and publish these to the Web as and when required.
From previous work, best practice shows that electronic newsletters are more efficient than the classic paper version, so EUROMOBILITA tends to create e-newsletters. e-Newsletters are published on the website for Website/Portal visitors. Page flip (or Flip book) format of these can be created to display information in an eye-catching format and provides an easy reading experience. Page flip newsletters are interactive and make for a better user experience for portal visitors.
EUROMOBILITA has extensive experience of organising and promoting Workshops, Seminars, Conferences and other events.
Analysing the possibility of integrating a Digital Voting System to support the events objectives and outcomes of research.
It is critical to understand the viewpoint of the customers of the value stream and their "customer satisfiers." A successful start of a project begins by gathering the customers' view of the performance of the value stream by direct interaction with them. EUROMOBILITA will get the feedback from stakeholders to analyse topics or issues.
Questionnaires and surveys are a cost effective way of obtaining the qualitative and quantitative data from customers, regarding their needs and satisfiers.
Invitation involves identifying how to invite respondents to answer the survey questionnaire. Invitation can be done using emails, website links, or at selected Workshops, Conferences or other events.
The beginning of the Questionnaire should include an introduction text. On-line questionnaires are self-selecting (having no control over who chooses to participate), so it is important that introduction grabs the attention of potential respondents and encourages their participation.
It is important that results gathered from questionnaires are analysed quickly and efficiently.
A Digital Voting System can be simply described as a combination of Hardware and Software designed to add interactivity to participants of Workshops, Projects meetings or other events.
The Digital Voting System gives each member of an event a voice and allows them to be actively engaged, relay their levels of understanding and share their opinions via the use of interactive credit-card sized wireless voting units.
Digital Voting systems implemented by Euromobilita are based on a free vote and expression of opinion and therefore provide good added value for involving people from different cultures and with different backgrounds to actively participate at meetings.
In order to assure Interactive Mechanism to Enhance Connectivity between research solutions and policy-making Digital Voting System (sometimes referred to as Electronic Voting System) can be used at Brokerage Events such as Regional based Workshops,Project Meetings, Conferences and other events where decisions need to be made and results can be discusses immediately.
EUROMOBILITA has the knowledge of enabling a Digital voting system to Workshops, Project meetings and other events where participants wish to be actively engaged into expressing their opinion.
voting at Events where where facilitating decision-making is a valuable feedback and speakers wish to interact with an audience.

Newsletter #103 March 2020
April 17, 2020 Plume
Sam Rowley
Station Squabble
Welcome to Plume Issue #103 —
March: and before we get to the good bits, a word about our cover art this month, from Sam Rowley, an aberration in that it is a photograph discovered not through the usual back channels of friends and artists, surfing Aperture and Lens Culture, etc., but via social media, specifically Instagram. It's a picture I love. For me, "Station Squabble' is of a piece with the uneasy heh-heh of dark comedy, Simic-like in its appreciation for the inexplicable horror of the everyday. The photograph's characters, of course, are mice – not rats – and, so, cartoonish rather than authentically menacing and bearing no historical/psychological/sociological baggage; and their battle tiny, as tiny and insubstantial as what they fight over – a crumb, perhaps. Yet, they strike their gladiatorial pose convincingly. Harm, even death, seems imminent. Death, too, in the sickly sheen of the polished floor, the fluorescent light, the Bosch-ian tunnel's gaping mouth. Not to mention our stand-in: the blurred seated figure – our indifference. At once whimsical and wincingly brutal. – right up my alley.
But, enough: take a look for yourself.
And now on to more substantial matters.
This issue's "secret poem" is "Ithaca" by, Louise Glück, wonderfully introduced, per usual, by the estimable Joseph Campana.
On Louise Glück, "Ithaca"
I grew up with myth. Sure, every family cherishes its own renditions of the real. To depart from them can be to depart from the family entirely, or so I have learned. But what I mean to say is that when I graduated from those books explicitly designated for children, I began to read mythology, which, in my hometown library, was located in the young adult sections, along with the literary classics. I can't say if this was a habit of that library or a quirk of the Dewey decimal system, but somehow it makes sense I would be unable to distinguish literature from mythology and that both would serve as heralds of the real and adult world into which I was desperate to escape from limitations I assumed I could outgrow. I was probably a depressingly bookish child, preferring the interior of the library to most sunny days.
I still remember the first book of Greek myths I read there, D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths, which I well may have destroyed through frequent use. It was a brutal, attractive world rendered in bright colors and a Greek visual idiom I couldn't have verified but that felt real. I didn't imagine myself in those myths. It wasn't a source for play-acting—"no, this time I'll play the part of Zeus nearly devoured by his father." Rather it seemed like the world behind the world would be revealed if I read the stories. So, I read them over and over as if completing a ritual of unknown address and outcome. I don't remember when I first read The Odyssey or Ovid's Metamorphoses or when I learned so many other poets too couldn't get these stories out of their heads. In college I remember a professor quipped that you couldn't open The New Yorker in the 1980s without running into Persephone. He said it again only it was the 1990s. Had I kept taking classes, more decades might have featured. Another friend complained about having to read too many "I feel like Persephone today" poems, as she called them. I can understand disenchantment with the faddishness of poetry publishing but never, I confess, with mythological poems. And the best rejoinder I can think of to the ennui of Persephone would be Louise Glück's Averno.
What I admire about Glück's approach to myth is the patient delving, over the course of a career, through the layers of obfuscation that attend how we understand ourselves in the world. It is not myth that needs to be demystified but rather the self. And this process often involves actual myths—most often Greek or Roman. Take, "Ithaca." Or, I should say, I decided to take "Ithaca" as my poem this month because I asked a friend to suggest a poem. With apologies to Sarah, who recommended "Odysseus' Decision," also from Meadowlands, a book that juxtaposes the decline of a marriage with the Odysseus' long and weary attempt to return home. As a place Ithaca is code for home, the place of arrival for the journey home, the nostos, from which we get the word nostalgia. And yet this poem trains its considerable lyric intelligence not on some of home but on the mutually generating nature of myth and love. Without one do you ever have the other?
What was Penelope doing, all those years, as she put off the greedy suitors who would have devoured her and her home? She was, in this poem, weaving a work of myth. One version of myth seems to be the patient work of the imagination. The lover calls to her mind the absent one: "The beloved doesn't / need to live. The beloved / lives in the head." It's a powerful assertion, full of confidence in acts of mind. But is it comforting? Is this to say the lover does not need the beloved? If in acts of love we build a simulacrum in our minds, do we no longer need the real? Glück distinguishes between these two lovers: "the easy / magnetism of a living man" and "the unfolding dream or image." Which is more appealing in the end? On that subject, the poem remains agnostic. But it cherishes no fondness for the "literal-minded men" who haunt Penelope. There's something about her they don't understand, and what I admire about the poem is the way it trains our attention on the simple device: the loom "strung up / like a harp with white shroud-thread." Here's the real world: a woman weaves a garment of mourning, unweaving it every night to prevent herself from being married off to boors. Later, "the shroud becomes a wedding dress" because imagination trumps
I wonder about my younger self, sitting in that library on so many sunny days. And what I wonder is not if I was some erstwhile Penelope: I decidedly was not. I was however captivated by what I could not see perhaps to the exclusion of the world before me. But if the world feels driven by limitations, being elsewhere may not be so bad. We hope poems—myths, too—will help us be what and where we're not.
The beloved doesn't
need to live. The beloved
lives in the head. The loom
is for the suitors, strung up
like a harp with white shroud-thread.
He was two people.
He was the body and the voice, the easy
magnetism of a living man, and then
the unfolding dream or image
shaped by the woman working the loom,
sitting there in a hall filled
with literal-minded men.
As you pity
the deceived sea that tried
to take him away forever
and took only the first,
the actual husband, you must
pity these men: they don't know
what they're looking at;
they don't know that when one loves this way
the shroud becomes a wedding dress.
from Meadowlands

Joseph Campana is a poet, arts critic, and scholar of Renaissance literature. He is the author of three collections of poetry, The Book of Faces (Graywolf, 2005), Natural Selections (Iowa, 2012), which received the Iowa Poetry Prize, and most recently the The Book of Life (Tupelo, 2019). His poetry appears in Slate, Kenyon Review, Poetry, Conjunctions, Guernica, Michigan Quarterly Review, and Colorado Review, while individual poems have won prizes from Prairie Schooner and the Southwest Review. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Houston Arts Alliance, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. He has reviewed the arts, books, media and culture widely and is the author of dozens of scholarly essays on Renaissance literature and culture as well as a study of poetics The Pain of Reformation: Spenser, Vulnerability, and the Ethics of Masculinity (Fordham, 2012). He teaches at Rice University where he is Alan Dugald McKillop Professor of English.
Once more: If you enjoyed Joseph Campana's piece in this newsletter, and last month's — and how could you not? — all of the Plume newsletters are now archived under, well, Archives, on our homepage.
It's here! Plume's Associate Editor Criticism and Essays Chard deNiord's new book, In My Unknowing, is available for purchase – sure to be magnificent.
Last month, I explained my upcoming reluctant/not-so reluctant absence from AWP. I'll miss all those I'd no doubt run across there, and who would have read for Plume's launch of the print anthology Plume Poetry 8. But for those attending – enjoy! I imagine we'll return in 20121 in Kansas City.
If You Are in the Neighborhood Department: As noted previously, Plume and our contributors will host a number of readings around the country in the coming months. We'll kick things off with a reading at The Writer's Center, 4508 Walsh Street, Bethesda, MD 20815 (301.654.6664), March 19, 7:00 – 8:30. The roster includes Leeya Mehta, Nancy Mitchell, Stewart Moss, Amanda Newell, John Nieves, and, well, me. Many thanks to Stewart and to Zach Powers!
(Almost) penultimately, again a request. As you will note, I try to highlight recent of soon to be published books by Plume contributors at the conclusion of this newsletter. My method for gathering these materials is haphazard, to say the least. Now, I want to rectify that to whatever degree that is possible. So – if you have a new book — or have won some award or grant or other, perhaps send me a quick email – I want to highlight your many wonderful achievements here. And a little PR never hurts, right?
Our cover art this month, "Station Squabble", comes from Sam Rowley. You can find more on the artist here.
And finally, per usual, a few new releases from Plume contributors:
Bridgit Lowe My Second Work
Chard deNiord In My Unknowing
Mark Irwin Shimmer
Major Jackson The Absurd Man
Mark Jarmin Dailiness
Dora Malech Flourish
That's it for now – I do hope you enjoy the issue!
