Three reasons- Sheikh Hasina to win 2019 general elections: Nasim
17 March 2016, Nirapad News: Three reasons that would bring Sheikh Hasina to power again in 2019 general elections, Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammad Nasim hoped today, pointing to Padma Bridge construction, smooth electricity supply and easy health service at peoples doorsteps as major scorers.
'People to vote Awami League to power again in 2019 for three reasons- Padma Bridge construction, smooth electricity supply and appropriate health service at peoples doorsteps," Nasim said as the chief guest at a function, organised to mark the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 96th birth anniversary, which is also observed as the National Children's Day.
Mohammad Nasim, also a ruling Awami League top brass, said the present government has attached highest priority to national development in all fronts, including health and infrastructure, and has brought tangible results over years.
He, however, said the success in child nutrition has been mired by fast food explosion and reduction in breastfeeding recently.
"It is unfortunate that the rate of breastfeeding has come down. Soon, we would reactivate the National Nutrition Council," said the minister, who took tough stand against dodgy doctors to ensure better health in public hospitals, especially in rural areas.
The minister urged parents to discourage children from junk food consumptions and encourage them to eat local food, fruits and vegetables that contain high food value and micronutrients. The parents should also give time to family and to their growing adults so that vices and drug addiction could not touch them.
Among others, Health Secretary Syed Manzurul Islam, Directors General of the Directorate General of Health Services Professor Dr Deen Mohammad Nurul Haque and Director of Sohrawardy Medical College and Hospital Dr Uttam Kumar Barua spoke on the occasion.
Later, the health minister attended a child art competition at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) premises and distributed awards among the winners.

NDLEA nabs wanted Lagos drug kingpin, Gbolahan
in Crime Watch, News
A wanted notorious drug kingpin, Wasiu Sanni Gbolahan, popularly known as Teacher, who recruits moles for the cartel, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at the weekend.
His arrest was sequel to the arrest of a 56-year-old trafficker, Lawal Lateef Oyenuga, who was on a mission to deliver 400grams of drug concealed in a pair of palm sandals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
NDLEA operatives attached to the screening point of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos had on Thursday 24th November intercepted Oyenuga with a pair of black palm sandals packed in the luggage he was going with to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia via Addis Ababa on an Ethiopian Airways flight.

A thorough examination of the sandals revealed they were used to conceal two parcels of cocaine weighing 400 grams. This is barely a week after a 56-year-old widow and mother of four, Mrs. Ajisegiri Kehinde Sidika was arrested at the airport over her attempt to traffic 400 grams of cocaine concealed in her footwear to Makkah, Saudi Arabia on board a Qatar Airways flight.
In his statement, Oyenuga claimed he was recruited to traffic the drug by Wasiu Sanni Gbolahan popularly known as Teacher, adding that he was first given some pellets of cocaine to swallow but when he couldn't do that, then he was given the ones concealed in the palm sandals.
He said he resorted to the criminal trade to raise money to pay an examination fee for his daughter who is in Senior Secondary School class 3.
The Agency's database revealed that Wasiu Sanni Gbolahan (Teacher) is a major drug kingpin and had been linked to some previous attempts to traffic cocaine to Saudi Arabia and Dubai, UAE. He was earlier named as the one who recruited a BRT driver, Bolajoko Muyiwa Babalola for Lagos socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels, Alhaji Ademola Afolabi Kazeem (a.k.a Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammed) to traffic drugs to Dubai. Bolajoko was arrested on 27th June while taking 900 grams of cocaine to Dubai while Ademola Kazeem was nabbed on Thursday 10th November, barely 10 days after he was declared wanted by NDLEA.
A follow up operation in the early hours of Friday 25th November led to the arrest of the kingpin, Teacher, who specialises in recruiting mules for drug barons in Lagos and its environs at his residence located in Ikorodu area of Lagos.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the 64-year-old Gbolahan is a housing and property agent, with seven children and four wives, one of whom is now late.

Banned in Boston
HARVARD 1914 is a novel where the characters' lives are impacted by censorship. Concerns for military security led to censorship and the forced interning of Germans and German-Americans. (See this essay to learn how the Boston Symphony Orchestra was impacted by this type of censorship.)
This essay is about a second focus of censorship: protecting morals. The legal sense of "what is going on" is informed by Prof. David Rabban's FREE SPEECH IN THE FORGOTTEN YEARS, 1870-1920. The specific details emerge from a variety of sources. In the novel, a prominent activist is jailed for distribution birth control information through the mail.
Historians remind us to view actions within the context of their time, not our own contemporary sense of right and wrong. And even then, Boston has had some notable forays into censorship.
For instance, in 1659, Massachusetts banned Christmas. The ban was in place for 22 years. Only after the U.S. Civil War did New Englanders begin to enjoy the holiday.
New York Leads the Charge
After the Civil War, during the Gilded Age, the city of New York had a postal inspector,Anthony Comstock, who was committed to "Victorian morality." In 1873 he formed theNew York Society for the Suppression of Vice which was eventually dissolved in 1950. The society was behind raids, lawsuits, and claimed fifteen suicides to their credit.
Comstock's influence led to the U.S. passing the Comstock Act in 1873. This outlawed the distribution of pornography or birth control information through the U.S. mail. Twenty-four states enacted state laws.
Birth control challenge
In this era, U.S. women were considered "baby machines." They had very few rights. Educating a "baby machine" made little sense with the prevailing mindset. Activists works hard to change this mindset. Part of this change meant educating women about their health so that women could preserve their own health and improve the health of their families.
Margaret Sanger published FAMILY LIMITATION with illustrations and began to mail it, challenging the Comstock Act. Here is an illustration (click on image to see entire pamphlet; in the book is also an anatomical illustration of fitting the pessary).
Boston's own vice suppression society
In 1878, six years after Comstock founded the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, Comstock led a meeting in Boston to launch a chapter in New England. The next year the group, an all male group from Boston's upper crust, began to operate in earnest, later changing its name to the New England Watch and Ward Society. This society, coupled with Boston's city licensing department (the "city censor"), led to Boston racing to the nation's forefront in its efforts to suppress art and censor mail. A list of banned works -from Walt Whitman to Ernest Hemingway – can be found here. Boston's Public Library even had a locked room where banned works could be viewed.
Banned in Boston becomes a national slogan
Boston's city censor office was only disbanded in 1982.
Enterprising artists of risque works found that if they put "Banned in Boston" on an album or act sales would actually increase. Yet mainstream works were brought into the ban. H.L. Mencken famously challenged the laws with his arrest, found here.
But even in the 1970s such works as Welcome Back Kotter ("not a good time in Boston for this TV show") , the Jackson Five ("dangerous fans"), and Marvin Gaye ("bad timing for Boston for mixing races") were banned for reasons that through today's lenses are preposterous.
Today's Boston
For many, this aspect of Boston's history is quite foreign to their experience today. While Boston maintains a reputation for being stubbornly closed to outsiders (e.g. is the intent of such incredibly poor street signage to embarrass and lose visitors?), the reality is that it hosts a vibrant international culture that brings to the world gifts of science, art, music, and philanthropy. The description of these past years in Boston history should not let us lose sight of the reality that Boston has changed a lot about its past in ways that make our world better.

TTIP – The Free Trade Lie
Do you know what TTIP stands for? It is the abbreviation of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, the planned Free Trade Agreement between the USA and the European Union. (A similar agreement between Canada and the EU is also being negotiated.) It stands for an agreement whose consequences will affect each and everyone of us, even when he or she doesn't live in the area which will be directly influenced by this treaty. It is therefore important to be able to form an opinion of your own on this topic.
Before I start my review of Thilo Bode's highly interesting book Die Freihandelslüge (The Free Trade Lie), I should maybe mention that I am in principle an advocate of free trade. Free trade can – if properly applied – increase the welfare of all, it enhances the international division of labor and the optimal use of scarce resources when each country is producing those things in which it is best and has comparative advantages – but frequently those who talk about free trade have something else in mind.
Bode, a development and trade economist by profession (so am I) gives an interesting example. In his first job as a development economist, he worked in a project in Tunisia, a country with scarce water resources. Tunisia is a very suitable place for producing and exporting olive oil, and importing wheat, a cereal that needs a lot of water to grow. This kind of division of labor makes sense: why should a country like Tunisia produce its own wheat and use the little water they have for something that can be much more efficiently grown abroad?
Unfortunately, the EU was and is subsidizing the olive oil production in the EU to an extent that made it for a long time almost impossible for Tunisia to export to the EU – its olive oil was not competitive with the highly subsidized olive oil from the EU. On the other hand, development projects financed by the EU stimulated the growing of wheat in Tunisia, sheer madness! – I could easily add similar examples from my own professional experience in various countries.
This example is typical. "Free" trade means practically in many cases that potential exporters from outside the EU are prevented from entering the market – this situation will be even worse with TTIP since this new agreement will for sure increase the bilateral trade between the two partners at the expense of third countries, particularly the developing countries.
When we listen to those lobbyists that try to convince the public that TTIP is a good thing, the first they usually tell us is that TTIP will increase the GDP, the employment and the wealth of us all. Great – but is it also true? Bode has some convincing facts here that makes us see these claims in a very different light.
The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in London that was hired by the EU to make a study on the probable positive effects of TTIP on growth and employment calculates the positive effect for the GDP in the EU until 2027 to be between 0.39 and 0.48% – not per year, but for the whole period. A very meagre result – and this is of all the studies the one with the highest estimated growth! An additional working day per year or the introduction of the metric system in the US would have in one year a much bigger growth effect than TTIP in together fifteen years! If we consider additionally that the study suggests somehow very inconsistently that people who lose their jobs as a result of the increased competition will find immediately and without additional training costs a new job (in the real world these training costs are considerable and are paid by the society, i.e. they have to be deducted from the calculated growth), we begin to understand that TTIP will be under no circumstances the big job and wealth machine as which the pro TTIP faction is trying to sell it to the public.
The negotiations of TTIP are top secret. Even most elected representatives in both the American Parliament Houses and the European Parliament have no access to information regarding the concrete situation of the negotiations. Only a handful of EP members have access to at least some basic documents which they can access only as if they are in a high security tract, not in an institution that represents the European people. For an international treaty that affects not only trade, but also consumer rights, health, industrial and intellectual property rights, the rights of trade unions, and many other sectors, this is for my understanding a big scandal. Access to information is denied to us and our elected representatives, but lobbyists of the big business have free access to the negotiations and are even part of it! It doesn't come as a surprise that the meeting agendas of those who are a part of the negotiation teams consist almost exclusively of representatives of the big industrial corporations and multinationals.
Bode gives in his book an overview that is really shocking. Many of his examples concern the food sector. But TTIP will not only in all probability decrease the quality standard in the food sector, it will affect all of us also in other areas. I want to give just two more examples: the production of and trade with chemicals, and the impact of the introduction of arbitrage courts for foreign investment protection.
Many chemicals have the potential to damage the health. The US and the EU have two diametrically opposed approaches to handle this potential danger. The EU regulation REACH that defines the conditions under which chemicals may be brought in use and circulation in the European Union is based on the precautionary principle. This approach to risk management states that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public or to the environment, in the absence of scientific consensus that the action or policy is not harmful, the burden of proof that it is not harmful falls on those taking an action, i.e. in this case the producers of these chemicals – and not the consumers or persons that may be harmed.
In the United States, the approach regarding risk management is diametrically opposed. Here the producers don't need to take precautionary measures, and the burden of proof that a certain substance is harmful falls on those who claim to be harmed by the chemical. In practice this means that a person who has developed cancer from a chemical substance has to go to court and sue the producer – a procedure that is extremely costly and risky, and usually the harmed part will not live to see the result of the law suit.
As a result, many substances that are considered as carcinogenic in Europe and the rest of the world, are still sold and used in the United States, such as asbestos. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) commented the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that is supervising a list of about 85,000 different chemicals that are in industrial use, only very rarely orders scientifically supported tests of chemicals. The risk analysis of trichloroethylene, a high risk chemical, took decades to take place. After a long battle, EPA undertook finally a risk analysis – which was sarcastically commented by the EDF chief scientist with the words: "Now it remains us only the missing risk analysis of the other 84,999 chemicals on the Toxic Substances Control Act list."
TTIP will lead to a situation where both sides will agree on the principle of mutual recognition, which means in practical terms that products that have been brought in circulation in one country of the signatories of TTIP, for example the United States, can circulate freely within the TTIP area. That means that a lot of chemicals will enter the EU that contradict the minimum safety and health standards in the EU. Additionally it means that the chemical factories in Europe will have a competitive disadvantage because they produce at higher costs as a result of the additional costly test series that are a result of REACH. That will reduce also employment in the chemical industry in Europe, and many producers will probably close their productions in Europe.
The most bizarre part of the planned TTIP is the implementation of a separate jurisdiction outside the regular jurisdiction for companies. In the future there will be the regular courts that deal with law suits between companies and governmental institutions in cases when there is a legal conflict; these regular courts will deal with the cases of the local companies or companies from outside the TTIP area. American companies in Europe or European companies in the United States will not need to go to a regular court when thy think that a decision of a government is affecting their business interest. They can go to an arbitration court – in practical terms this is a group of three (usually American) lawyers that is meeting behind closed doors and is deciding the case without ever making the court proceeding or the verdict publically available. And the amount in controversy can be many billions.
The concept of arbitration courts is old. The idea behind it was that countries, particularly countries which have a reputation of lacking transparency or with a history of high corruption want to make it more attractive for foreign investors to come to their countries. When foreign investors know that in case of a conflict they have not to wait ages for a decision of a possibly corrupt court in the country in which they invested their assets, they will feel much more comfortable in their investment decision. Arbitration courts are thus potentially a foreign investment incentive – at least in theory. (Recent studies have shown that they are practically irrelevant as an FDI promotion instrument.)
But neither the United States nor the European Union are developing economies; the legal systems are in principle well established and transparent; there is absolutely no reason to have arbitration courts that create double standards and a law outside the law. (By the way, all arbitration court members worldwide come from a tiny group of Law Firms which are earning outrageous sums for this kind of premodernist "courts" that resemble more the clandestine meetings of cosa nostra padrones than courts in democratic and modern societies.)
What does this system of arbitration courts mean in practical terms for us taxpayers? One example, the case Philip Morris vs. Australia. Australia introduced in 2012 a law that requires that all cigarettes have to be sold in a standardized packaging, the so-called "plain packaging". All packages are dark brown, are warning in bold letters and with very drastic photos what consequences smoking can have. The packaging can have the name of the producer and the product but no more logo on it. Philip Morris was suing the Australian government but lost finally after a long battle at the highest Australian court.
Nevertheless, Philip Morris may receive billions of Dollars from the Australian taxpayer. Since Philip Morris has a branch in Hong Kong, and the bilateral trade agreement between Hong Kong and Australia gives the foreign investor access to arbitration courts, Philip Morris used its branch in Hong Kong to sue Australia again, this time at the arbitration court. The ban of the logo on the packaging had damaged the interest of Philip Morris in Australia, so the company argues. The case is pending but Philip Morris has good chances to get several billion USD from the Australian taxpayer, although the decision in Australia was legally correct and the highest Australian court had already closed the case. Similar cases have been or are being pursued in Uruguay and the EU (again Philip Morris). New Zealand and several other countries in Africa and Latin America changed their draft laws because they are afraid of the billions they would possibly have to pay the multinationals that produce cigarettes. And the tobacco industry is just one very small example.
While I am writing these lines I just read that the European Parliament again exacerbates its information security regarding the TTIP negotiations. The access to documents related to the negotiations is now almost completely blocked even for EP members. In parallel, interest groups of small and medium-sized companies voice more and more concerns about TTIP – the clear majority of SMEs in Europe and the United States is against this TTIP that will so obviously serve the interest of a few multinationals but will be a huge step backwards for the rest of us.
It is late, but maybe not too late to stop TTIP. We need free trade, but not at all costs. An agreement that exposes consumers to higher health risks, makes exports almost impossible for developing countries and that creates double standards for foreign investors is definitely not something from which anyone of those will profit that is not a major shareholder of a multinational company.
The book of Bode is a wake-up call for all of us and I can recommend it without hesitation to everyone who wants to get to know all the dirty details of this clever but rather outrageous agreement. An English translation would be great!

News & eventsMedia roomNews releasesType 45 Duncan Delivered to the Royal Navy
Type 45 Destroyer Duncan Delivered to the Royal Navy
22 Mar 2013	2013-03-22T01:00:00+01:00
Portsmouth, United Kingdom: The sixth and final Type 45 destroyer, DUNCAN, has been delivered to HM Naval Base Portsmouth by BAE Systems and will be handed over to the Ministry of Defence at a ceremony today.
DUNCAN arrived into her new home of Portsmouth for the first time this morning with a combined BAE Systems and Royal Navy crew. The official handover ceremony will take place on the ship's flightdeck with the crew raising the White Ensign on the ship for the first time to signify her acceptance by the Ministry of Defence.
DUNCAN's handover is being completed in record time since she was launched in October 2010, three months sooner than any of the previous five ships. A technical issue initially delayed her departure from the Clyde, but the BAE Systems team worked tirelessly with the Ministry of Defence to implement precautionary measures over the weekend and DUNCAN departed on Tuesday to complete her 600 mile delivery voyage.
Jennifer Osbaldestin, Type 45 Programme Director at BAE Systems, said: "We are delighted with our achievements on the sixth and final Type 45 destroyer and are honoured to hand her over to the Ministry of Defence today in Portsmouth. This is a tremendous occasion for both DUNCAN and the entire Type 45 programme. BAE Systems is proud to continue supporting the Royal Navy by providing the vital servicing needed to ensure all six ships now based in Portsmouth retain their outstanding capabilities throughout their lifetime in the fleet."
DUNCAN is now based in HM Naval Base Portsmouth with her full class of sister ships, which are HMS DARING, HMS DAUNTLESS, HMS DIAMOND, HMS DRAGON and HMS DEFENDER. There are double celebrations on the naval base this week as HMS DEFENDER was commissioned into the fleet yesterday.
Working alongside the Royal Navy, BAE Systems coordinates all aspects of repair, maintenance and support to the Type 45 Destroyers though the Type 45 Class Output Management (COM) team who ensure the ships are available for operational requirements.
Minister for Defence, Equipment, Support and Technology, Philip Dunne said:
"The arrival of HMS Duncan in Portsmouth today marks the culmination of the Type 45 programme through which the UK shipping industry has provided the Royal Navy with a fleet of six world class destroyers. Together these vessels are a formidable force and will play an important part in allowing the Royal Navy to protect our interests wherever needed around the world."
DUNCAN is the seventh vessel in the Royal Navy's history to be named after the 18th Century naval commander Admiral Lord Adam Duncan who is famed for his victories at sea. The ship's motto, secundis dubusque rectus, means 'upright in prosperity and peril'.
The Type 45 Destroyers will provide the backbone of the UK's naval air defences for the next 30 years and beyond. The ships are capable of carrying out a wide range of operations, including anti-piracy and anti-smuggling activities, disaster relief work and surveillance operations, as well as high intensity war fighting.
Each Type 45 Destroyer can engage a large number of targets simultaneously to defend aircraft carriers or groups of ships, such as an amphibious landing force, against the strongest future threats from the air. The vessels will contribute a specialist air warfare capability to worldwide maritime and joint operations.


We have started to work off the floor. Lets add the Down Command from a standing position.
If you have been drilling the down command, your pup now has an understanding of two things. First, when you say down it should know that you mean to lay down and to keep those elbows on the floor. Second, a downward pressure on the collar should signal the pup to drop to the down position.
Now, we are going to stand up while the pup is down. While kneeling on the floor, with the pup in the heal position ( on your left side facing the same way you are facing) put the pup into the down position with pressure on its collar and a treat placed between its toes. With a nice low voice say STAY and start to get up next to the pup. If it starts to get up when you do, just slip your left hand into the collar and push down and back to put the pup back into its down position. NO TREAT. Do not repeat the command, just put the pup back into position. Follow the 3 times and your out rule. What's this? If the pup gets up 3 times then it is time to force the issue. Put your left foot on the CLIP of the collar and keep the dog down as you stand up( careful not to step on its toes). Hold it there until it gets the idea that down means to stay down until I say you can get up. Sorry folks, this is a really awkward position but the pup needs to understand that down is down.
Now you are standing and the pup is struggling against the pressure you are exerting with your foot. Maintain this pressure until the pup stops its struggle. If the pup rolls over on its side, this is fine. Just make sure that it doesn't get up. The war will end, I promise. When it does, relax your pressure, don't remove your foot just yet.
Swing out in front of your pup so that you are facing the pup. Pup still has not gotten up. Your foot if necessary is still on the Clip of the leash. Hold this position for 30 seconds or so. Swing back to heal position. Get a "watch me" and a big happy "OK" release the pup, take 2 steps backward and give the pup a big reward.

What type of customer experience does your business deliver?
Hopefully, a great one. If you're leaving your buyers unsatisfied and unlikely to choose your brand again, you could be risking your business's future. Why? A recent study showed that customer experience (CX) will be classed as a bigger brand differentiator than products and pricing by 2020.
Every company has to focus on creating the best customer experience possible to boost satisfaction rates, encourage repeat purchases, generate leads and help reinforce your reputation via positive reviews.
You have to know where your company is meeting expectations and falling short of them. To do this, start measuring powerful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to identify strengths and weaknesses that affect the quality of your CX.
How do you know which metrics to work on?
Take a look at the top seven below.
Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSAT) are self-explanatory: they measure the level of satisfaction customers feel after dealing with your business.
They should be prompted to rate the quality of their purchase process, customer-support interaction or other aspects of your service with a simple numeric score. As you start to gather CSAT scores from a broad range of customers, you'll develop an invaluable insight into the level of CX you provide.
Providing feedback should be as convenient and simple as possible for the customer. Ask them to assign their experience a rating as soon as their interaction with your brand ends (be it through email, phone, live chat etc.).
Leaving customers on hold too long can have a negative impact on your overall CX: 60 percent of customers feel waiting on hold for one minute is too long, while 63 percent favour a callback option instead.
Track the amount of time customers spend waiting to be connected to a support agent, and how this affects their CSAT score. You may have to take on more employees or implement another support option, such as live chat, that enables agents to assist multiple customers at the same time.
Monitor calls and live chat interactions to identify how long customers have to spend speaking to your employees.
The more interactions your support agents complete, the more customers they can help. It's that simple.
Agents who spend too long chatting to customers and failing to solve their problems as quickly as they should aren't as productive as they should be. This is why the average interaction duration is one of the most important KPIs to measure.
Live chat software enables agents to juggle multiple conversations at the same time, improving their productivity and reducing wait times.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures your customers' loyalty and their likelihood of recommending your business to friends, relatives or colleagues. Your aim is to leave a powerful impression on them so that they feel inspired to direct others to your products or services.
Track your NPS through customer feedback, such as surveys and polls. Focus on building lasting relationships with buyers and leaving them with no reason to try competitors.
Also, consider implementing an affiliate program into your operations. This is an effective way to involve others in promoting your company, and offers in-depth analytics features that can boost your CX further.
In an ideal world, all of your customer service interactions would be completed with first contact resolution (FCR).
This KPI measures how often your support agents are giving customers exactly what they need during calls or live chats. As a result, customers will feel satisfied, confident that your business is worth returning to and have to put in less effort to solve their own problems.
One way to measure FCR is to simply ask customers if their issue was resolved at the end of an interaction. This is more reliable than depending on agents to record their own FCR rates.
This KPI measures the amount of effort your customers have to put in before they get the help they need or make a purchase. Customer Effort Scores (CES) highlight where buyers may encounter obstacles in their journey, allowing you to streamline the support or purchase process further.
If customers have to jump through hoops to get the answers or products they're looking for, they're less likely to come back again. Focus on keeping all aspects of your service as simple and user-friendly as possible.
The average abandonment rate of shopping carts on mobile is 85.6 percent and 73.1 percent for desktop.
You can't afford to give your customers any reason to walk away from their purchases. If a large segment of your customer base is abandoning their carts, explore their journey through your site to identify potential flaws.
One reason mobile rates outweigh desktop is that many brands still haven't optimized their sites for smartphones, resulting in clunky checkouts.
To achieve a stronger CX, refine your purchase process to be as fast, simple and intuitive as possible. Don't assume you can be complacent once you've actually brought visitors to your site.
Each of these KPIs plays a major role in helping you evaluate and improve your customer experience. Track data, pay attention to feedback and treat each consumer with equal importance.
Failing to measure your performance across all areas of your business can leave you unaware of just how unsatisfied your customers may be. The more value you place on enhancing your CX, the better your retention rates are likely to be.


Research from Nebraska shows that, while Salmonella were present on the skins of almost all pig carcasses immediately after slaughter, only around six per cent of chilled final carcasses were positive for Salmonella and the majority of those had so few bacteria that they could not be counted.
This project provides comprehensive information on the levels and prevalence of Salmonella on pork carcasses during processing to benchmark the effectiveness of in-plant interventions on Salmonella reduction, according to the report's author, Dr Michael N. Guerini of the USDA-ARS-USMARC in Clay Center, Nebraska.
During the course of the project, 190 pork carcasses were sampled over two consecutive days in each of four seasons at a pork processing plant in the United States. Samples were collected at three steps in processing: skin (after ex-sanguination and before scalding), pre-evisceration carcass (after scalding, singeing, and polishing) and chilled final carcass in the cooler.
Overall prevalence of Salmonella on skins was near 100 per cent in all seasons with a one-day low of 85 per cent in the winter. The range of Salmonella prevalence on pre-evisceration carcasses was between 10.5 per cent and 69.5 per cent.
Final carcasses had 12.6 per cent Salmonella prevalence in the summer, undetectable (0 per cent prevalence) in the fall, around 4.2 per cent prevalence in the winter and around nine per cent in the spring.
The prevalence of Salmonella was twice as high on skins and three times higher on pre-evisceration and final carcasses as was expected.
During the four seasons, the lowest enumerable level of Salmonella bacteria on skins was 27 colony-forming units (cfu) on 100 square centimetres and the highest level was 2,322cfu on 100 square centimetres.
Salmonella serotype and drug resistance patterns have been determined for 2,176 isolates.
From this data set, 22 serotypes have been identified and the antibiotic profiles of these range from having resistance to eight antibiotics to being susceptible to all 14 antibiotics tested.
From his results, Dr Guerin concluded that, when the amount of Salmonella on skins was high - as indicated by both a large number of enumeration positive samples and high enumeration levels - the chance of having Salmonella on carcasses was higher. However, the percentage of carcasses with levels high enough to enumerate and the enumeration levels were both relatively low.


Yaga is an Action RPG with a charming narrative that adapts to your choices, exploring the enchanted world of slavic culture and folklore. Play as a one-handed blacksmith caught between the jealous Tzar giving impossible tasks and the ancient Witch protecting the supernatural world. The game takes place in the universe of Slavic folktales. It's a 14th century world as seen through the eyes of Eastern European peasants: filled with pagan belief, house spirits, unclean creatures, superstition and magic.
When we started brainstorming for ideas for a new game, we decided to mix our love for roguelikes with our love for narrative and choice based games. Then memories of fairy tales that brightened our childhoods started flowing - magical, charming, gloomy or funny, scary, moody, surprising or cruel. These were not your regular tales of Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, but of Baba Yaga the witch, Koschei the Immortal and Vasilisa the Beautiful. Thus, Breadcrumbs was born to lead players into these worlds, and we decided Yaga would be our first game. With each piece of code, with each sketch and each brushstroke we felt our vision coming to life and we hope our passion managed to seep its way inside the game as well.
" Love the art style and appreciate how the game takes inspiration from Slavic Folklore. We need to see Baba Yaga and her hut in more games."
"You have a really lovely art style going for you!"
"This is Great! Moscow approves, Comrades!"
"Really love the look of this! Would definitely play!"
Available in comic form yaga-game.com.

Q: Labels and Variables in Assembly? Consider I have a label in assembly (at&t syntax, x86-64) like this:
test_tabel:
    mov test_label,%eax #1
    mov (test_label),%eax #2
    mov $test_label,%eax #3

Can someone kindly tell what's the difference between these three as I saw them a lot but can't really understand what each really means (address, value etc...)
Now in case I have a variable in .data section (let's suppose it's of size int ie 4 bytes) what's the difference between those 3:
mov var,%eax #4
mov var,%eax #5
mov $var,%eax #6

A: (1) and (2) are identical and load 4 bytes from memory at test_label into eax.  (3) loads the address of test_label into eax.
A variable is just a label, so there's nothing special going on with your second set of examples.
(4) and (5) are identical to (1) and (2) in behaviour, (6) is identical to (3) in behaviour.

These are the definitive facts on farm murders, as provided by SAPS' crime stats. It certainly makes for some compelling reading.
The scourge of farm murders has become one of the biggest hot-button issues in South Africa, accelerated somewhat by the uncertainty regarding land expropriation.
It also doesn't help when US President Donald Trump gets involved and passes comment without really knowing any of the facts. Yes, farm murders are tragic and our landowners deserve more security. But referring to these incidents as "large-scale killings" isn't based on fact, and it doesn't really add up.
From March 2017 – March 2018, official SAPS data suggests 62 people have been killed on their farms. AfriForum previously claimed that 109 farm attacks took place between January – March 2018. However, the crime stats suggest that only 108 attacks have taken place over the last year.
When farm invasions get underway, the statistics say they are most likely to end in murder. The 62 killings from 108 attacks gives us a 57.4% mortality rate. A further 30.5% of incidents result in burglary, whereas 5.55% of farm crimes play host to attempted murders.
It has the highest number of incidents (11) and the highest number of fatalities (12).
The Northern, Western and Eastern Capes all experienced three cases where a murder had occurred, taking their combined total to nine fatalities. However, these incidents didn't result in any multiple victims, meaning each province had an identical record on farm murders.
There was a total of 20 336 murders in South Africa last year – which hasn't got any easier to digest during Tuesday – and farm murders only make up a small, but significant percentage of the numbers. For context, you're more likely to be killed by a panga than murdered on a farm.
Given that nine murders came from seven confirmed incidents with fatalities, Limpopo is where farmers are most likely to be one of "multiple victims". Now, the numbers aren't that high so there isn't much to go on, but 23% of these crimes claim at least two lives or more.


New research from BYU's autism experts is providing clues into the link between aggression and autism -- clues the team hopes will eventually lead to more effective intervention.
In the study, published in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, researchers report an inverse correlation between aggression and brain stem volume in children with autism: the smaller the brain stem, the greater the likelihood of aggression.
The finding, though preliminary, is significant in part because "the brain stem is really involved in autonomic activities -- breathing, heart rate, staying awake -- so this is evidence that there's something core and basic, this connection between aggression and autism," said coauthor and BYU clinical psychology Ph.D. student Kevin Stephenson.
For the project, the team examined MRI images from two groups of children with autism: one that exhibited problematic levels of aggression and one that didn't. Study coauthor Terisa Gabrielsen, a BYU assistant professor of school psychology, said identifying the brain stem as having at least a partial involvement in aggression helps lay a foundation for better treatment. "If we know what part of the brain is different and what function that part of the brain controls, that can give us some clues into what we can do in the way of intervention," she said.
Coauthor and BYU psychology professor Mikle South added, "Once the body arousal in a child is too much -- the heart is beating, the hands are clenched and the body is sweating -- it's too late. Some of these kids, if the brain isn't working as efficiently, they may pass that point of no return sooner. So with behavioral interventions, we try to find out what the trigger is and intervene early before that arousal becomes too much."
BYU's Autism Connect team originated three years ago in BYU's David O. McKay School of Education, though it now includes researchers from other colleges on campus and collaborators beyond BYU. This paper, spearheaded by BYU psychology assistant professor Rebecca Lundwall, had 11 authors from BYU, one from the University of Utah and one from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The group used data collected from a University of Utah autism study funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Studying aggression is Autism Connect's "overarching agenda," said Gabrielsen, "because it impacts families' quality of life so significantly. If we look long-term at things that affect the family the most, aggression is one of the most disruptive."
South recounted a conversation with the mother of a child he recently diagnosed: to cope with stress, the child often pulled her mother's hair, "so I just have a lot less hair than I used to," she told him. Aggression, South noted, "makes the family dynamic very difficult, the school dynamic very difficult. It's just a particularly difficult type of autism."
In addition to a number of other studies planned or in process, the team is interested in exploring further how the brain stem is connected functionally to other areas of the brain, "because usually the brain doesn't work from just one area; it's a network of areas that all work together," Stephenson said. "So if one area is disrupted, it's likely that other areas are disrupted as well."

PROBLEM WITH BIRD INFESTATION CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL PEST CONTROL EXTERMINATOR.
Bird infestation left untreated, is hazardous for health and the environment. The longer left to roost or nest the harder it is to get rid of. The result can be a massive infestation. Some places to look are: roofs, ledges, gutters, draining systems, tall buildings and flat roofs. Birds can access gaps 2.5 cm or larger.
A new owner of a wholesale food distributing company moved in and discovered that there was a bird infestation issue. Namely, pigeons. The owner had recently sold his smaller warehouse and had not had this type of problem on this large of a scale. The noise alone was irritating. But the droppings, dried feces and feces dust were vast. This problem was not apparent when going through the motions of purchasing the property. This proves how rapidly bird infestation can manifest themselves.
Birds transfer diseases to humans that may be fatal. Examples: Avian Flue. Bird droppings not cleaned up from floors can cause physical injury from slipping and falling. Which can result in lawsuits.
It used to be that bird infestations were frustrating simply because they forced facility managers to waste money cleaning up after a renewable source of mess. Today, there is the possibility of lawsuits and still the costs for control and clean up.
Birds do not just leave behind droppings that create dangerous environments. Studies show that more than 60 diseases can be transferred from birds to human beings, sometimes with fatal results. The build-up of bird droppings opens up the potential for slip-and-fall lawsuits, not to mention every facility manager's nightmare: OSHA, the USDA, local health boards, or other governmental organizations citing and fining your facility or shutting it down because of bird infestation or bird mess.
As hard as it is to admit, in a citation situation, OSHA might be doing the owner a favor. Bad press and fines aside, if facilities are permitted to continue operating while contaminated by bird droppings, there is a chance someone entering your facility could contract a serious disease.
While most people have heard of avian flu or West Nile virus, histoplasmosis and Cryptococcus have maintained a low profile despite the fact they have been popping up in the news as well. This low level of awareness keeps people from taking measures to protect themselves and leaves the owner responsible for protecting them.
Understand that the problem to be solved is not the presence of birds or their droppings; the problem is that your environment is appealing to these birds. Even if the current infestation is killed off or chased away, a new flock will fill the void if the environment is not also altered in an unappealing way.
This is why truly effective bird control does not include lethal methods or trapping. These strategies will only prolong the frustration of the situation and require a regular investment as birds return. Plus, there will probably be legal repercussions for lethal methods because they can easily and unintentionally affect the vast number of birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
Instead, take some time to research the nuisance birds. Work out what they like about the property (food, warmth, shelter, nesting materials). Place repellents near the source of these comfort areas. Clean up the droppings (use proper equipment to keep the particles contained and out of the lungs), nests, dead birds, and anything else that might signal to the birds that the area is their territory. Figure out where they come from and where they go when scared from their original location. If it's on the property, prepare that location, as well, to prevent a second infestation.
Once the nature of the infestation is understood, explore the available technology and choose some strategies. When choosing products, remember that birds (like human beings) are multi-sensory. Using products to address more than one of the birds' senses will have a much stronger reaction.
Ultrasonic devices produce sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear but extremely bothersome to birds, bats, and rodents. Sonic devices are audible to birds.
These products scare birds away visually. These products include strobe lights, bird-scare balloons, holographic tape, and predator decoys.
This liquid deterrent uses methyl anthranilate (derived from Concord grapes) to give birds a sensation similar to the one people experience around bleach.
These are physical barriers to roosting sites. The inhibitor can be in the form of sticky chemicals, spike strips, or netting.
A manager's responsibility is to keep the work environment in a good and safe condition. Clearing a bird infestation can make a huge difference in terms of economics, morale, and most importantly, safety. Remember, if the choices are overwhelming there are always bird control experts who will be happy to help.

Birds nests harbor insects and mites which live as scavengers on the nest material, or droppings, or as external parasites on the birds.
http://www.ampmexterminators.com/Rats spread disease, damage structures and contaminate food and feed. Rodents Mice poison bait does little to solve a pack rat problem and, in most cases, makes the problem worse. Poison bait by design is food to the rats. Putting out poison attracts rats.
You can expect your pest control specialist to create a customized plan to eliminate your rodent problem and help keep your home rodent-free. A variety of tactics may be combined into a strong action plan. The simplest, less expensive and less invasive options are often used first, but with large infestations, aggressive treatment may be necessary. Rodents, mice and rats are problematic inside of any structure. While rodent issues will generally be more pervasive in areas where construction may be older and sanitation may not be ideal, rodents can infest any building. Recognition of a mouse or rat problem is not necessarily a reflection on one's tidiness or cleanliness; it is unfortunately a byproduct of living in the Seattle and Puget Sound areas, and requires expertise and care to manage.
Rats damage containers and packaging materials in which foods and feed are stored. Both rat species cause problems by gnawing on electrical wires and wooden structures such as doors, ledges, corners, and wall material, and they tear up insulation in walls and ceilings for nesting.

Plant and Pollinator Gallery
Plant Gallery
Pollinator Gallery
Museums across Canada protect and preserve collections of plants and insects along with their collection data. These data are used to help scientists determine habitat preferences, and changes in species' distribution and abundance over time. These specimens are therefore used to determine whether a species is in danger of becoming extinct!
The gallery pages for each species will allow you to see actual Museum research specimens and photographs of the organisms in a natural setting. Go to the Main Gallery to view all species, or use the Advanced Search to filter particular types of species. The highlights of this collection are the endangered species found here:
Canada's Endangered Prairie Plants and Pollinators
Sand Verbena
Members of this family have flowers that open in late afternoon, hence the common name. Sand Verbena is a short-lived plant whose seeds stay dormant in the soil until spring conditions are right. Germination occurs when there is enough moisture over a long enough period of time. Pollinators of this species have not been documented. However, its white colour, tubular shape, and opening time suggest that flowers may be adapted for night-time moth pollination.
Weidemeyer's Admiral
The rare Weidemeyer's Admiral occurs along the Milk River in southern Alberta. This butterfly feeds mainly on the sap from poplar and willow trees. Its habitat is being invaded by exotic plants, like Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) and salt cedar (Tamarix).
Slender Mouse-ear Cress
Slender Mouse-ear Cress is a rare plant that tends to grow in small patches of several to dozens of individuals. Populations often show large year-to-year variation in numbers and morphology, though causes for this are not well known. These plants are threatened by loss of habitat to urban and industrial development, agriculture, and other human activities. To date, pollinators have been largely undocumented.
Western Silvery Aster
Western Silvery Aster is one of the rarest plants on the Canadian prairies. It grows in tall-grass prairies and Bur Oak savannahs. It is threatened by habitat loss due to sand and gravel mining, the spread of invasive species and housing developments. This species is pollinated by a variety of insects, mostly bumblebees, bee flies and sweat bees. Small weevils lay eggs in the flower heads and consume the seeds.
Tiny Cryptanthe
This rare plant occurs at only four sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan. There are estimated to be fewer than 100 plants in all of Canada. Numbers are declining due to conversion of their mixed-grass prairie habitat to agricultural uses and urban development. The pollinators of this species are not well documented. However, various flies, bees, and butterflies have been observed visiting the larger flowers of other Crypthantha species.
Small White Lady's-slipper
The pleasing aroma of this species attracts small solitary bees. The bees enter the pouch of the flower but find no nectar to reward them. Trapped inside the 'slipper', the bee can only exit via the back of the orchid. As the bee passes through, pollen is deposited on its' back where it will rub off onto the next plant it visits. This endangered orchid is found in moist grasslands of southern Manitoba and Ontario, and the northeastern U.S.
Dakota Skipper
This threatened species occurs only in grasslands containing the wild plants it needs to feed on. The caterpillars eat prairie grasses like Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) while the adults feed on nectar from plants flowering in early summer. Adults die within hours if they cannot find water.
Hairy Prairie-clover
This sand-loving species can be found in partially stabilized sand dunes scattered throughout the prairies. Hairy Prairie-clover is so named because the leaves and stems are covered with a layer of silky hairs, giving it a greyish appearance. This species is visited by lot of unusual ground nesting bees and wasps that live in sandy habitats. Ambush Bugs and Crab Spiders hide on the flowers to catch the many visiting pollinators.
Gattinger's Agalinis
Gattinger's Agalinis relies on other plants for some of its nutrients. It "steals" nutrients and water, by sending out specialized roots (haustoria) that pierce the roots of host plants (usually other flowering plants). This species is protected in Canada as populations are rare due to habitat loss and human encroachment on that habitat. Its seeds need to be close to the roots of a host plant before it will germinate.
Rough Agalinis
Rough Agalinis is a hemiparasite, which means it "steals" some of its nutrients from other plants. Specialized roots called haustoria, connect Rough Agalinis to the roots of host plants. This species grows in prairie habitats, which have been lost due to expansion of agricultural activities and cattle grazing. Seeds are dispersed by wind, or sometimes on the feet of birds and other animals.
Gold-Edged Gem
This endangered species consists of just two populations in Canada. They live on active sand dunes, feeding on their host plant, Prairie Sunflower (Helianthus petiolaris). The stabilization of these dunes is the major threat to this species.
Hare-footed Locoweed
The rare Hare-footed Locoweed occurs in a very limited area of ridges and hills in southwestern Alberta. Gravel extraction operations within this plant's suitable habitat pose the greatest threat to its survival. It is known to be toxic, and lengthy grazing may sometimes poison livestock. The pollinators of this species are not well known, however moths, butterflies, bees, flies, and wasps have been observed visiting other Locoweed species.
White Flower Moth
Manitoba is home to the only recorded population of this endangered species in Canada. These moths are active both day and night, and inhabit rare sand dunes. Little is known about their biology but they may visit white-flowered plants.
Poweshiek Skipperling
In Canada, this species occurs only in remnant, tall grass prairies in Manitoba. Adults are unable to disperse long distances. They feed on the nectar of at least 19 species of wild plants including Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). The caterpillars feed on sedges.
Ottoe Skipper
This highly endangered species is rarely seen in Canada due to the extensive loss of its sandy, mixed grass prairie habitat. Adult skippers live for only three weeks in midsummer. Females lay their eggs on wild plants, which eventually become food for the caterpillars.
Western Blue Flag
Western Blue Flag is the only Iris native to Alberta. It is rare, and occurs in habitat easily damaged by humans. This plant relies on pollination for reproduction, but can also spread by growth of underground rhizomes. Although pollinators are poorly documented in Alberta, its flowers are probably pollinated by bees and hummingbirds. In the past, plants have been used medicinally, and to make cords for nets and other uses.
Monarch butterflies undertake an annual two-way migration, flying thousands of kilometres from Canada, to overwinter in Mexico and California. Monarch caterpillars store toxins from the milkweed plants they eat; their bright coloration warns predators they are poisonous. They are threatened by the loss of milkweed plants.
Mormon Metalmark
The Mormon Metalmark is endangered in Canada because it is only found in dry, eroded grasslands. It feeds on umbrellaplants (Eriogonum) and Rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosus), which are relatively uncommon plants in Canada.
Pale Yellow Dune Moth
The Pale Yellow Dune Moth lives on sand dunes and flats in the Prairie Provinces. These moths over-winter as caterpillars in soil and transform into adults in spring. Adults feed at night, likely from white-flowered plants like White Evening-primrose (Oenothera nuttallii).
Western Prairie Fringed Orchid
The orchid's strong vanilla-like fragrance and white flowers attract Sphinx Moths as night-time pollinators. Small sacs of pollen stick to the moths' heads and are deposited on other flowers. The moths are rewarded with nectar, which they lap up with their long tongues. This nationally endangered orchid only grows in wet meadows and calcium-rich sites in the grasslands of the mid-western United States and southern Canada. The largest population in the world is found in Manitoba.
Riddell's Goldenrod
Riddell's Goldenrod provides pollen to a wide range of insects including flies, bees, wasps, moths, and butterflies. Habitat loss, due to conversion of prairie to farmland and urbanization, is the main force driving population declines. This species is also sensitive to changes in moisture caused by drainage projects. It reproduces by wind-scattered fruits or by sending up shoots from an underground stem.
Soapweed
This spiky-leaved evergreen plant and its Yucca Moth pollinator depend on each other for survival. Female moths pollinate Soapweed by intentionally collecting and transferring pollen between flowers. This ensures enough seeds for the larvae to eat, and for plants to reproduce. Populations are threatened by habitat loss, flower consumption by herbivores, and low numbers of the Yucca Moth. Various parts of the plant have been used as food, soap, and for other purposes.
Yucca Moth
In Canada, the Yucca Moth is found only in Alberta. The moths lay their eggs in the Yucca plant's ovaries, then gather and transfer pollen between flowers. This ensures that enough seeds are produced for the larvae to eat, and for the plants to reproduce.
Western Spiderwort
The only member of its family native to Western Canada, Western Spiderwort is a federally protected species. The broken stems secrete a sticky substance, which forms cobweb-like strands when hardened, giving the plant its common name. It has fleshy roots that may have been used by Indigenous groups as a cooked vegetable. High spring moisture benefits the annual population size. However, the main factors in population decline are habitat loss and sand dune stabilization.
