You insure your home, now it's time to insure your business. Whether you are a one-person shop or a corporate conglomerate, you must make certain you are protected against any foreseeable or unforeseeable incident. One thing goes wrong, and you could lose it all. You didn't work this hard to build your entity to have it gone at the drop of a hat, so make certain you have all the coverage you need. Here is a list of insurance coverage no business should be without.
The U.S. Small Business Administration explains that general liability insurance protects your business against a monetary loss for any number of reasons. Included under the general liability umbrella are bodily injury (slip and fall, for example), bond/judgment settlement, lawsuit defense, libel/slander, medical expenses, and property damage. Don't go without this broad protection.
If you own commercial property, including equipment and machinery, make certain to protect it with commercial property coverage. Much like your home insurance policy protects your home and its contents commercial property coverage mitigates damage and/or loss due to fire, theft, vandalism, and weather damage. If you need additional earthquake and/or flood protection, get it.
Entrepreneur magazine brings up an excellent point. Many home-based businesses forget to add business insurance to their homeowner's policy. If you have business equipment in your home, such as computer equipment, fax machines, printers, and tools or other machinery, you need to secure additional coverage to protect them. Make certain your home-based business is protected in all areas.
If what you do could directly affect your client, you may need professional liability insurance. Also known as errors and omissions insurance, professional liability protects you and your business against your own mistakes. If you're a CPA who makes a costly error on a client's tax returns, you may be held liable for the mistake. This insurance protects you against your resulting financial loss.
No business should be without workers' compensation insurance if it is required by law to carry it. For example, Washington state law requires nearly all employers to carry workers' compensation coverage, so Seattle business insurance packages should include this. Check with your state's insurance commission to see how much workers' compensation coverage you must hold.
Finally, if you work in some sort of product manufacturing, you'll want to get your hands on product liability insurance. If your product has the potential to harm someone, you must protect yourself against potential legal action. Imagine a toy part you manufacture fails and children are injured or worse, your product liability coverage will protect you against any damages you may incur.
Never go without the business insurance coverage you need. Even if you work out of your home, you must protect your equipment against damage, loss, or theft. You might even consider insurance to cover your expenses in the event you cannot operate for a time. Can you afford to close your doors unexpectedly? Make certain that you stay in business no matter the incident. Whether a slip and fall or natural disaster, if you're covered, you'll be able to make a claim and keep your business running.

The Chicago Cubs brought out the heavy lumber in the team's 11-4 win over the Cleveland Indians in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
One of the team's 17 hits was Addy Russell's second homer of the spring and he was 3-for-3 with two runs during the game. Jacob Hannemann and Mark Zagunis also both homered in the win.
Russell is currently batting .393 going 11-for-28 with seven runs, two homers, and 7 RBIs during spring. He also has an impressive 1.067 OPS.
Look for Russell to have a huge comeback year statistically in 2018 as the only thing that will probably stop him is some type of injury.
Check out his homer below.


For far too long, we have played an agency /client dating game, because really, the relationship is not dissimilar from dating.
From the initial chemistry meeting, when you first meet your agency, you notice things you have in common – what you like about each other, how you challenge each other to be better versions of yourself, how you both seemingly care about the same things. You decide to work together, or 'date', and the start of the relationship is exciting, fun even. Sure, there may be some bumps in the road as you get used to working with each other, but it's not anything to worry about as you are still in the honeymoon phase of the relationship.
Fast forward to a few months, and the excitement may have worn off. From the client's perspective, the relationship is not what was promised in the beginning of the relationship. The agency isn't delivering exciting creative anymore – their ideas are all the same. Deadlines are missed and the agency team has changed drastically – it's the third account director since the contract was signed!
The client is frustrated and feels let down. But most importantly, the client finds themselves spending a majority of time managing the agency vs. delivering high quality work. Client leadership is starting to notice, too, as the reports don't mean much – they don't articulate what's most important to the business. Does the agency even care about us, they think? Should the two of you stay together?
The agency is also frustrated and feels let down. What had promised to be a client with an appetite to launch exciting new creative has put up blockers at every turn. Every creative idea is shot down, leaving the team with no motivation to innovate or proactively come to the client with new ideas. Lack of direction and poorly-defined briefs mean the team is spinning their wheels trying to meet the client's ever-changing demands, just keeping their heads above water. The team is putting in a lot of hours to save the relationship, but it seems that nothing the agency does will make the client happy. What can the agency do to let the client know how much they love them?
If you have ever worked client-side or agency-side, this scenario is all too familiar. And it's not the fault of either party but the fault of the industry that has created such an awkward working relationship.
Most agencies that succeed today are ones that are driven by growth to keep the business profitable and retain good talent. As client needs are ever changing – arguably more today than even 10 years ago – so are the contracts. Clients today want more project-based agreements so they have the flexibility to meet their ever-changing budgets and marketing plans. They are risk-averse to signing retainers that are three years or even longer, in fear of being stuck in a bad relationship.
What this means for the agency is that we are always in pitch mode. As the bucket drains from short-term work ending or clients serving notice, the team is actively trying to fill the bucket with new clients, bigger clients. It's survival of the fittest, with the most successful agencies filling the bucket faster than it drains.
Large, traditional agencies have been more successful – but they also come with their relationship baggage. They can take more risks as losing one large client won't break their business.
Because of this, it's just a matter of time before the client is let down, and decides to divorce the agency, convinced that there has to be a better way.
For mutually-beneficial relationships, as recently mentioned in Marketing Week, agencies need to be agile so they can respond quickly to both the market and consumers.
We believe there's a better way: The Unagency Model.
Our approach is simple: we build a client-specific collective of senior experts that can deliver against business objectives, while making the most efficient use of time and budget.
The senior experts with more than 10 years of experience in their discipline work with their network of stellar strategists, creatives, buyers and writers to bring client campaigns to life. It's a consultancy-based model, which means clients will only pay for the work done by the team, NOT a standard retainer. And it means that the team can scale up or down, based on an individual client's needs.
Most importantly, it means that we build a client-specific team of consultants, not an agency, based entirely on the needs of the account.
Because of this, clients are able to commit to an agreed level of work – in alignment with the KPIs of course – without fear of the agency going under if one month is lighter than the next.
But this only works if the client is as equally invested in the relationship. When clients invest in individual experts and not just an off-the-shelf agency team, the relationship is more direct and honest, with the team fully invested in the client's business objectives. We ask that instead of agreeing to a set retainer, clients agree to a minimum one-year commitment to work with the expert team – and clients fees will go directly to the consultants, not wasted on overhead.
We recognize this is a lofty and risky approach, but in order to have the client-agency relationship end in a beautiful marriage, we need to evolve the business model.
Our agency teams and clients are working toward and committed to the same solution – meeting if not exceeding the client's business objectives, whether the goals are sales, registrations or placements. The UnAgency Model allows us to pivot quickly and progress the relationship in the same way it started – with excitement to do great work together.

When considering SB's alleged miracles, it is necessary to bear in mind the Indian cultural background in which SB and his Indian followers were brought up. Indian (and specifically Hindu) religious traditions, which go back thousands of years further than those of the 'West' (although the chronology is still uncertain), include the belief that a devout holy person can apply himself so wholeheartedly to the contemplative life that by a combination of devotion, chanting of mantras, meditation and yogic disciplines he can eventually become endowed with the limited ability to perform certain paranormal feats (or ) for the benefit of his followers. Such allow the creation of small objects, healing, telepathy, and clairvoyance. The condition is that these should not be done for selfish motives like self-glorification nor should they become a distraction from the main task, that of self-realization (or fusion with the Divinity), or from the task of teaching others to progress along the same path.
HIV/AIDS is a complex topic and is an extremely culturally nuanced issue in a traditionally conservative and heterogeneous Indian cultural background. Research in HIV/AIDS in India has to deal not only with research ethics and legal questions, but also with a subtle, yet undeniable, cultural connotation. Prickly issues like morality and personal biases in sexuality research were dealt with, and often, the participants, who represented a cross-section of the HIV/AIDS researchers in India, came up with their personal experiences and anecdotes that further enriched the discussions.

Where in India teachings were simply followed and taught on a whim, in Tibet people became very confused with what they got to see of Buddhism. Teachings did not come with their Indian cultural background automatically explained so all kinds of misunderstandings came up. The situation was in that sense comparable to the situation of Buddhism in the West at present.
Quality of life research in India on patients with schizophrenia is scarce. Quality of life interview (QOLI), a commonly used instrument in the West has not been used in a developing country like India. The aim was to assess convergence validity of QOLI (modified as per the Indian cultural background). 38 clinically stable outpatients with chronic schizophrenia (as per ICD-10) were administered QOLI- Brief version. Quality of Life Scale (QLS) and WHOQOL- Bref over two interviews the latter two scales having cross-cultural applicability. Significant correlations were obtained for QOLI with QLS and WHOQOL-Bref. It can be concluded that QOLI demonstrated convergent validity with both a disease-specific (QLS) and a generic (WHOQOL-Bref) scale, which have been previously used in the Indian setting. Hence, results support the applicability of QOLI in a different sociocultural setting.

Technology has a tendency to lead us into realms we could rarely have envisaged. Once architecture was all about drawing boards and draughtsmanship and engineering was all about the purity of a complex calculation (which may have taken three days to compute), and little sympathy or understanding was shared between these disciplines. Now the crossovers between design and engineering technologies have opened up hitherto inconceivable opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between architects and engineers, and given rise to new forms of materiality, structure, aesthetics and building performance.
At the forefront of this evolution is Zaha Hadid Architects, and BuroHappold has been one of its longest-standing engineering partners in structural experimentation.
It should be no surprise that Hadid was able to embrace the kind of mathematical complexity required to push what might previously have been thought possible with the geometries of her buildings - after all, her first degree was in mathematics.
But BuroHappold's ebullient director and engineering evangelist, Wolf Mangelsdorf, thinks it was Hadid's approach to collaboration that lit the spark for this cross-fertilisation, as much as her gift for calculus.
Mangelsdorf says: 'Zaha and Patrik [Schumacher, director] always appreciated that great work like they are doing cannot be done without engineers. With them, there has always been a big appreciation of the engineer, and a very collaborative spirit.
But it takes a particular kind of engineer to want to make these shapes happen, Mangelsdorf agrees. He says that in the early days 'I think engineers just didn't know what to do with it.
You cannot get this stuff out of a text book. You have to take your text book and completely reinterpret it. That's the challenge. This is not the sort of thing you do if you want an easy life. And for us, there is actually a big challenge in this. But I hate nothing more than getting bored. With Zaha's buildings, I will never get bored.
Schumacher: 'We like to make the visible architectural presence as much as possible coincident with the structure itself, and the necessary systems, and avoid if possible wrapping up all of this in sheet rock or some other surface, which then creates a different figure. Why? Because there's more trust in that overall artefact and you avoid the sense of being in a stage set.
But these were early buildings - buildings created at a time when structures were severely limited by what skills and technologies engineers had available. Over the years ZHA and its engineer collaborators have been quick to take advantage of new technologies, new digital computation and analytical software to expand and enrich the entire process. But the technology is always placed in service of the ultimate building and the experience of the building.
As an exemplar of current computational capacity Mangelsdorf holds up the Beijing Airport competition design, which they won three years ago, as 'probably the most exciting project I've ever worked on… We explored a completely new combined model of lighting, heating, structure, way finding, airplane traffic, that defined the building form. It was truly multidisciplinary.' Though the full integrity of the design may not have manifested itself in the finished building [it was handed over to Chinese contractors over a year ago], its space-age sinuousness and structural lightness owe more, according to Schumacher, to the more organic engineering of the 19th century than that of the modernist 20th.
Says Schumacher: 'The engineers always knew, in the 19th century, that if you have a structure that is subtly adaptive to the mobile flows and forces it was because there was more labour time available and less luxuriousness with respect to materials.
Engineers knew that even a simple system like a beam could be deeper in the centre and then it could be shallower at the edge… they could play with shapes according to what they understood about the distribution of weight, using mostly organic forms.
'In modernism,[engineering] was dominated by laboursaving machining, so then you get [restricted by] fabrication and extrusion logics, repetition logics, one-size-fits-all logics, and you lost a lot of that elegance. And now we can bring it back, but we don't need all that handcraft and labour to bring it back.
We can use sophisticated machinery to bring it back. And on top of this we have a degree of suppleness… We can work with irregular set-ups and compute the differentiations. That gives an organic character to the space but also tells you about the space.
Mangelsdorf: 'Everything you have just outlined is about performance in a way - engineering performance and performance of the space that we can test in various ways - and I think that's where the collaboration comes together. Because, obviously, Patrik's team will test it against the architectural performance parameters that have been set for the space but we feed into that the environmental parameter studies or the structural parameter studies. Or there are compound parameter studies at times where we distil [requirements for] light and humidity and other factors into compound, people-based parameters that are about wellbeing or comfort. Or you can even link it to productivity if you want.
Schumacher: 'It's like a serendipitous…synergy between two factors. What the structural optimisation delivers is of a character we desire for our aesthetic and semiologic captivation of the spaces. If the form is rigorously optimised according to certain criteria, it delivers elegance and beauty, which is often superior to what we could have invented [by hand/eye]. In my theory of beauty we have to recognise that we are trained to respond to forceful, coherent artefacts… We look at something like this [he shows designs for Beijing Airport's interior] and we sense there is orchestration that is meaningful and purposeful.
That's what a project coming out of rigorous, sophisticated engineering delivers: a complex, variegated order we find attractive or beautiful but that also gives us the social order, which maps itself into these spaces. So, for instance, rather than being given a [building with an] array of 200 neutral boxes [rooms], whether they are ground up, or north, east or west, we give them a range of varied spaces that communicate their place in the structure: the lower ones are more robust and have this heaviness; at the top they become more filigree. That helps us to map the different functions on to something where they become recognisable rather than becoming disorientating.
The project ZHA is completing in Riyadh - the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre - represents yet another evolutionary leap, adopting a more overtly biomimetic approach: the structure's crystalline form is highly calibrated to maximise daylight, function and shade. The outer shell is both protective and porous, bringing daylight into interior spaces and creating buffer zones for smooth transitions from outside to in. The pair are clearly excited by recent advances in biomimetic computation, allowing architects, engineers, and scientists to replicate the extraordinary complexity of biological systems - and even generate new forms through sophisticated programming.
But it's perhaps not surprising that, while these two early adopters are enthusiastic at the thought of computers being able to self-generate new kinds of biomimetic architecture - using the latest gimmick, 'genetic algorhithms', for example - this prospect elicits a great deal of concern elsewhere,not just from those wary of handing over the structuring and programming of our world to robotic systems, but from the architecture and engineering professions in general, fearful of being computed out of a job. Schumacher dismisses the doubters: 'The tools in themselves don't help you put on the table what to analyse. [Human] trial and error does.' Adds Mangelsdorf: 'What a genetic algorithm does is it works as a generational, evolutionary [system]. You set boundary conditions and you have an algorithm that starts testing things against those boundary conditions and fitness criteria.
It will discard the bad ones and continue with the good ones. The tool is beautiful and powerful but it's only as good as the one who is driving it. This is what we are continually getting towards: parametric engineering is really giving us incredibly powerful tools that allow us to optimise, to analyse and to select. But it is not designing a building for us. What designs the building is how we define the boundary conditions, the fitness criteria, and it's a very individual thing.
Schumacher: 'For us, we would rather compose in this kind of logically constrained space rather than composing more freely, which we did when we first used computers, because we didn't have these tools. It gives a certain formal rigour.
Schumacher: 'Nature is the same… What I say now is that we aspire to this rule-based generation of projects. That's why we started to distil the rules, and I think we prefer the scripted proliferation on variations in the system and the scripted negotiation of parameters. Why? Because that's more supple, more rigorous, more nature-like, and rarely can we compete with that in a tool.
Mangelsdorf concludes: 'And that generates a dialogue. We go back to the beginning. We contribute quite strongly to the formulation of the orchestration of those different parts because pushback just for pushback's sake doesn't work.

P Diddy 'Sustained Multiple Injuries' In Car Crash
Rap star has issued a statement, thanking fans for their well wishes...
P Diddy has publicly addressed his recent car accident, revealing that he sustained 'multiple injuries'.
As we previously reported, the music mogul's SUV collided with a Lexus outside the Beverly Hills Hotel in LA on Wednesday (23rd October), with reports at the time stating it was 'unclear whether anyone suffered any serious injuries.'
Diddy - real name Sean Combs - was later snapped by paparazzi shortly after the collision, lying on the lawn of the hotel.
According to TMZ, the rapper's car was 'crushed' in the accident, resulting in the Cadillac Escalade being towed away from the scene.
Diddy has now released a statement thanking fans for their well wishes, while also revealing that he was hurt in the crash.
It read: "Sean Combs sustained multiple injuries in yesterday's car accident including to his neck, ribs and collarbone.
"He is currently receiving treatment for these injuries from his physicians and would like to thank all of his fans for the outpouring of support that he has received since the accident."
Combs later took to Twitter to speak out about the incident, writing: "Woah...that was a close one!"

Skynet Corporation assures that all these testimonials have been completed by clients that Skynet Corporation has consulted or trained or sold resources to over the last few years. These are just a few of the people who have given written approval for us to place their Testimonials on our site.
The VET Quality Framework - Legislative Instruments and Risk Management Brief was developed and facilitated by Ray Earl during August and September 2011 to over 260 RTOs in Six States, click here for a few of the testimonials.
After the Audit Reports were provided to ATEL, we asked the client, Mr Dean MacPherson if the decision to complete the audit was a worthy financial outlay? the formal response was: "Yes - provided guidance and confirmed that we were "on the right track". We found the services beneficial as Ray was so thorough it gave us confidence in achieving a positive result..."
"Dear Ray, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the assistance you gave us to pass our ASQA audit and become a RTO. You made the process clear and achievable. We found you personally to be informed, approachable and concise, whilst the quality of your resource materials made the process not seem as daunting as it first appeared.
You have obviously applied your extensive knowledge of the VET sector to produce resources that are easy to follow, and meet the standards. Although these resources could be followed without your guidance, I found your personal approach reassuring and informative.
I look forward to using your services again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending you..."
"Absolutely - it has given me a clear 'road-map' for corrective actions and firmly placed compliance on the management agenda. Thanks Ray, for a comprehensive and most valuable service that has been so beneficial for our organization. The process throughout - including your follow-up has been thorough, thoughtful and efficient..."
"Certainly, Its given a solid foundation for a systematic approach to meet VQF requirements. Thank you Ray for a thorough audit. I like your methodical audit process, well worth it and can recommend to anyone..."
Engagement contract to support Ducere (Australia) Pty Ltd in preparing to register as a RTO. At the end of the engagement we asked Ducere CEO, Mr Oskar Santos, did Skynet Corporation and Ray meet all deliverables as per scope of engagement?
"Yes, very much so. Overall we could not be happier with the service from Skynet. We would highly recommend them to anyone..."
"Ray thank you so much for your wonderful VET Quality Framework Management System and audit tool. It was easy to use and implement into our existing system, incredibly well thought out and more importantly, enabled us to fully understand and implement the VET Quality Framework into our business. As a result of your system, we were compliant on all standards and passed the ASQA audit first time! Thank you!..."
"I have been working in the RTO sector for over 5 years and have been given the opportunity of implementing and applying for initial registration as an RTO in Victoria.
While I have a thorough understanding of RTO's and their governing compliance through the AQTF as well as guidelines set out by State Training Authorities (in my instance this is the VRQA), I have found the purchase of SkyNet Education products, particularly the VRQA Guidelines CD to be an invaluable support and guide.
The information contained in the CD is up to date, compliant and has ensured that as I write the guidelines that I am demonstrating not only my knowledge and understanding of the AQTF and VRQA guidelines but most importantly how it is that my future RTO is compliant with these guidelines.
The essence of the guidelines in establishing that the primary purpose of an RTO is education, that it is financially viable and that the RTO will provide education with a standard of both quality and care for students and compliance to the VRQA and AQTF is guaranteed when following the CD and the information contained within it.
Further to this, the standard of service given to me by Ray through conversation and enquiries has left me with an absolute certainty that he is equally passionate in assisting RTO's whose genuine intention it is to provide quality and compliant education to it's students.
I am more than happy to validate this testimonial verbally and can be contacted at any time on the details set out below..."
Please accept this letter of appreciation from me and Tony Murray (CEO) with regards to the audit that you have recently completed on our Industry RTO.
"Dear Ray, Thank you for sending the copy of "The 5 VRQA guidelines – How to meet them" CD so promptly. It has already become an incredibly valuable resource for us. Sometimes the compliance requirements just seem like a maze to negotiate but your instruction "manual" and the evidence templates has made that pathway a little clearer.
As a team we have started a self audit utilising your guide as our checklist and are busily filling in the gaps that have become apparent. Certainly the templates included have saved us a lot of time and effort as we now do not have to start from scratch. While, as an RTO, we were audited and compliant 12 months ago, the many changes to registration requirements have left us with some work to do..."
"The CD of compliance material we purchased from Skynet covering the standards of initial registration as an RTO have been excellent. The proforma policies and procedures are very practical and the explanatory notes gave us the answers/insights into the relevance or applicability of certain procedures - we found these additional instructions very helpful. The business plan is also an excellent template for presenting key information about the training business, and the financial analysis input sheets very useful in ensuing we provided the required financial data. Ray Earl from Skynet was able to answer our additional questions online, which gave us the necessary direction and confidence with our application..."
"Ray Earl a consultant for RTO s and small business offers genuine, honest, informative advice to clients who wish to set up an RTO along with their business. He has enormous amount of experience and is keen to reach out to business owners to help fill in any gaps that he may find to help business succeed. He is reliable and professional with his approach. I am happy to recommend Ray Earl and wish him all the very best in his future business decisions..."

Q: Convert JSON array into individual variables using javascript I have the following JSON array that is output from an API.
{
    "location": {
        "name": "Alanallur",
        "region": "Kerala",
        "country": "India",
        "lat": 11.01,
        "lon": 76.33,
        "tz_id": "Asia/Kolkata",
        "localtime_epoch": 1470998311,
        "localtime": "2016-08-12 10:38"
    },
    "current": {
        "last_updated_epoch": 1470997826,
        "last_updated": "2016-08-12 10:30",
        "temp_c": 28.0,
        "temp_f": 82.4,
        "is_day": 1,
        "condition": {
            "text": "Moderate rain",
            "icon": "//cdn.apixu.com/weather/64x64/day/302.png",
            "code": 1189
        },
        "wind_mph": 8.1,
        "wind_kph": 13.0,
        "wind_degree": 340,
        "wind_dir": "NNW",
        "pressure_mb": 1013.0,
        "pressure_in": 30.4,
        "precip_mm": 0.0,
        "precip_in": 0.0,
        "humidity": 79,
        "cloud": 0,
        "feelslike_c": 32.2,
        "feelslike_f": 89.9
    }
}

I want to split this array into separate variables using javascript

A: if this response is in data
check alert(typeof data) // it will show object or string

if it is not object then
data= JSON.parse(data)

now you can access it as saperate variable
if you want to access localtime of location then
alert(data.location.localtime)

I hope it make sense for you
Check two example on jsfiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/5ov827oc/1/
https://jsfiddle.net/5ov827oc/2/

A: Json Code
{
posts:[
   "location": {
        "name": "Alanallur",
        "region": "Kerala",
        "country": "India",
        "lat": 11.01,
        "lon": 76.33,

        "cloud": 0,
        "feelslike_c": 32.2,
        "feelslike_f": 89.9
    }
}

In javascript use
 json.parse()

PHP Code
<?php
// copy file content into a string var
$json_file = file_get_contents('posts.json');
// convert the string to a json object
$jfo = json_decode($json_file);
// read the title value
$title = $jfo->result->title;
// copy the posts array to a php var
$posts = $jfo->result->posts;
// listing posts
foreach ($posts as $post) {
    echo $post->title;
}
?>

Hope this helps. :)

A: This is how you can get country and it's temparutre in separate JS variables.
var jsonobject=JSON.parse(json_string); // don't do this if you already have JSON Object instead of string.
var country=jsonobject.location.country. // Where location is another JSON Object
var temprature_c=jsonobject.current.temp_c; // current is another JSON Object
var temprature_f=jsonobject.current.temp_f; // current is another JSON Object

See this to debug your JSON. http://json-parser.com/6d51ab22
Where { } is a literal notation for an Object, access any property inside { } with . operator, and [ ]  is a literal notation for an Array. You can access array elements just like normal JS array using indices (e.g [0], [1] etc...)

A: Try this code :
Use developer console to view the output in browser
<script>
var str = '{"location":{"name":"Alanallur","region":"Kerala","country":"India","lat":11.01,"lon":76.33,"tz_id":"Asia/Kolkata","localtime_epoch":1470998311,"localtime":"2016-08-12 10:38"},"current":{"last_updated_epoch":1470997826,"last_updated":"2016-08-12 10:30","temp_c":28,"temp_f":82.4,"is_day":1,"condition":{"text":"Moderate rain","icon":"//cdn.apixu.com/weather/64x64/day/302.png","code":1189},"wind_mph":8.1,"wind_kph":13,"wind_degree":340,"wind_dir":"NNW","pressure_mb":1013,"pressure_in":30.4,"precip_mm":0,"precip_in":0,"humidity":79,"cloud":0,"feelslike_c":32.2,"feelslike_f":89.9}}';

if(typeof(str) == 'string'){
        str = JSON.parse(str);
        console.log(str.current)//return object
        console.log(str.location)//return object
        console.log(str.current.temp_c)//return string
        console.log(str.current.temp_f)//return string
        console.log(str.location.country)//return string
}
</script>

JSON.parse(str) is used to convert string to object

Acting as one World Bank Group - Really? The IEG Experience
Marvin Taylor-Dormond
Hans-Martin Boehmer
One of the pillars of the World Bank Group strategy is working as a "Group" to achieve transformational impact. IEG has learned quite a bit through its own intense integration process which started about five years ago.
At the time, IEG decided to bring together the evaluation units of the World Bank, IFC and MIGA and create evaluation teams capable of working across organizations and issues. The goal was greater impact and effectiveness.
This was a progressive effort, including one very concrete and effective action: putting everyone under the same roof. Staff started talking to each other and interacting, professionally and personally. Thus creating a new unified team was a process that came through by the simple act of working together for a common purpose.
It wasn't easy. Staff had to really understand each other's work as well as the operations of other Bank Group agencies. Patiently, IEG experimented and adapted through different models of joint work—joint venture model with co-Task Team Leaders (TTLs) and co-managers; one leading department model with staff from various departments providing inputs; and one single team model, in which each department would combine staff from the three Bank Group agencies.
As teams were requested to work increasingly more on joint evaluations, the need for a new structure became clear: The conclusion was that staff had to be organized by themes and focus areas, rather than by institutions. Today, while to preserve their professional identity IEG staff members maintain their mapping to their original institutions, they form teams, share insights and produce evaluations across institutions and along broad thematic/sectorial areas, combining their expertise.
Producing joint evaluations was not an easy and natural step for staff. Many were used to their own models, institutions and approaches and never knew or heard of their colleagues' work. There was a steep learning curve in adjusting to different institutional, operational and cultural models across all three institutions. The teams had to come up with approaches that would work in evaluating both private sector and public sector operations.
Interestingly enough, joint evaluations also induced management of the WBG to articulate their response and react collectively to IEG's assessments.
Leadership was another important element. The IEG management group began working together more effectively. Decisions were disseminated quickly and clearly by a unified management group. Everyone had to make some compromises, including on staffing and resources but none that weren't worth the prize.
Another critical step was to create a unit that would provide advice and services across the unit on Strategy, IT support and Knowledge, which merged staff from various departments. This unit aimed to help IEG think jointly and convey a unified voice, including through the launch of a single website for the group. Likewise, major steps were taken to articulate a joint strategy, a joint budget and in establishing evaluation and performance measurement systems covering all three organizations
The communications, knowledge and strategy unit in IEG was the first to start working under the new model of One IEG. Staff needed not only to get used to working together, but also to co-share responsibilities in some of the same areas and in some cases, change their work approaches to deliver best results to diverse teams.
Challenges were numerous, including navigating through different HR processes, IT systems and organizational cultures. These challenges were particularly hard to overcome as in many instances staff has limited knowledge of what the "neighbor" is doing, including understanding differences in business models, instruments and processes.
What's the take away so far? Growing together without losing institutional identities takes work, but it can not only be done – it is the way to go.


Predislocation syndrome in the foot describes a painful condition involving the 2nd metatarsal phalangeal joint. This joint, found at the base of the 2nd toe, can develop a painful inflammatory condition that leads to joint dislocation and damage. It is not uncommon in people with flat feet, but can also be seen in those with regular or even high arches if the metatarsal bone is angled steeply enough.
The symptoms of predislocation syndrome often include swelling and warmth under the base of the 2nd toe, with pain to pressure under the ball of the foot at this site. A hammertoe deformity of the 2nd toe is usually present with this condition, and it actually worsens as the condition progresses.
Due to a complicated relationship between the 2nd metatarsal, the 2nd toe, and the metatarsals next to it (primarily the first metatarsal), an injury can develop in the soft tissue that comprises the bottom of the 2nd metatarsal phalangeal joint, called the plantar plate. With increased pressure to this plate, either through excessive pressure from a longer metatarsal, a more steeply angled metatarsal, or even the downward pressure of the attached hammertoe, a gradual tear will develop in the plantar plate. This tear starts out as small, but gradually increases as the metatarsal head is pushed further downward into the tear. As the tear increases, so will the inflammation. The toe deforms even further as the joint dislocates, and becomes unstable. Pain can become debilitating in many cases.
Treatment involves stabilizing the joint and reducing inflammation. In some cases, nonsurgical care, including downward toe taping, anti-inflammatory medications, icing, and immobilization in a walking boot, can be sufficient to reduce the inflammation. The use of prescription orthotics is then vital to reducing the ongoing pressure under this joint. Steroid injections directly in the joint will actually worsen the condition as the steroid crystals weaken the plantar plate, and should be avoided. These measures can help predislocation syndrome heal when it is in it's early stages, and sometimes with more advanced cases. The majority of the time, however, surgery is necessary to reduce the pressure on the plantar plate to allow it to heal. This typically involves a procedure that moves the 2nd metatarsal head back and up, and corrects the hammertoe deformity. The plantar plate injury will often heal on its own, although some surgeons may prefer to physically repair it.
