Russia's Yandex and Mail.Ru Report Strong Growth Despite Ownership Threats
Home Financial news Russia's Yandex and Mail.Ru Report Strong Growth Despite Ownership Threats
Via The Moscow Times
Russia's flagship tech companies, Mail.Ru and Yandex, both reported strong third-quarter results this week amid ongoing concerns over government proposals to limit foreign ownership in Russia's largest technology companies.
With revenues and earnings up at both companies, representatives confirmed they were lobbying the government to water down the potentially damaging legislation to the two publicly listed companies.
Shares at Mail.Ru rose 9% on the back of stronger-than-expected results. However, Yandex's earnings report was not enough to dislodge the underlying concerns, with shares slipping back despite results also beating analysts' estimates.
Investors say that Yandex, in particular, is vulnerable to potential developments inside the Kremlin.
"We continue to believe that strong fundamentals have been overshadowed by uncertainties over the draft law on limiting foreign voting power in 'significant' IT companies," VTB Capital said in a research note.
Foreign ownership: What's been proposed?
The government is currently considering a draft law which would limit the proportion of shares that can be held by foreigners in Russia's systemically important tech firms. The move would mirror a similar cap on foreign ownership in the media industry, which is already in force. The bill proposed by a state Duma deputy from the governing United Russia party seeks a 20% limit on the amount of voting rights a non-Russian can control.
The latest speculation is that the Kremlin is considering backing the proposals, but would increase the proposed ownership cap to 50% minus one share.
Shares in both Yandex and Mail.Ru were hit when rumors of the Kremlin's support for the proposals first emerged.
Yandex, which is registered in the Netherlands and listed on the U.S.-based Nasdaq exchange, suffered a 19% drop in its value in one day, wiping $2 billion from its market capitalization.
London-listed Mail.Ru, which already has its own rules ensuring non-Russians cannot control more than half of the voting rights, was less severely affected, but still recorded a 10% slump.
What have Yandex and Mail.Ru said?
Both companies raised concerns about the proposals and said they are in constant discussions with the government over the legislation.
Yandex's billionaire founder Arkady Volozh told investors on a conference call today: "There has been lots of discussion about how the tech sector should be regulated. In its original form, [the proposals] were pretty damaging — not just for us, but for the entire tech sector in Russia."
"But we and many others were quick to express our concerns. As of today, it looks like some of the concerns have been taken on board. But we really can't say."
Volozh added that Yandex is prepared to take "relevant corporate action" that would "ensure shareholder's economic interests are not in danger."
Mail.Ru's chief financial officer Matthew Hammond said Thursday: "Our shares have seen some pressure on the back of the latest regulatory initiatives, in particular the proposals on foreign ownership."
"We will continue to consult and co-operate in ongoing discussions. We believe the latest proposals should not impact Mail.Ru or our shareholders in any way."
He added: "It's very clear that the final version is unlikely to be very close to what was first proposed. We see the law changing over time, and the end result is very rarely close to what was originally proposed."
Mail.Ru: The results
Mail.Ru beat analysts' expectations in the third quarter, recording growth across the business and particularly rapid expansion in its Citimobil ride-hailing business and food delivery service, Delivery Club. The company said it was "very pleased with our performance despite the challenging macro backdrop."
Revenues grew 25% compared to the third quarter last year, coming in at 21.4 billion rubles ($340 million), and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) — a measure of operating profitability — grew by one-third to 7.2 billion rubles.
The group looks on course to grow its annual revenues by more than one-fifth, with analysts expecting Ebitda of 29 billion rubles for the year.
Revenues at Delivery Club rose almost three-fold to pass the one billion ruble mark, with monthly orders topping three million. Loses at the company also grew, but company executives reiterated that both Delivery Club and Citimobil will turn profitable in the future, and the company has enough cash to continue investing in them.
Yandex: The results
CEO Volozh hailed "another excellent set of results", despite the threat of regulation which has upset the company's share price over recent weeks.
"Our strong IT expertise allows us to develop new business models, and we aim to continue preserving and growing the IT talent pool both for Yandex and the country as a whole," he said.
Yandex's numbers also pipped expectations with revenue growing 39% over the quarter to 45 billion rubles — more than twice Mail.Ru's. Ebitda was far ahead of Mail.Ru at 13.9 billion rubles.
The group upgraded its guidance for the rest of the year, saying it expects revenues to come in 36-38% higher than last year, up from what the business previously forecast.
Notably, Yandex.Taxi revenues almost doubled, and now account for one-fifth of the group's income. Unlike Citimobil, Yandex.Taxi — which was launched eight years ago today — is already a profitable business division.

Newsmakers 2018: Student Success
Student achievements including competition wins, a world record, and new innovations splashed local and national news headlines in 2018.
Student success was on display in countless ways throughout 2018. Members of UNLV's public policy debate team (shown above), were just a few of the many students whose accomplishments made headlines in 2018. (Josh Hawkins/UNLV Creative Services)

The lifeblood of UNLV's success can be traced through the achievements of the students who call the university home. In 2018, student and alumni accomplishments elevated the university in countless ways, from meteoric rises for nascent student groups, to pioneering student organizations that celebrate UNLV's diversity.
Below is a small sampling of daring UNLV students who made the news in 2018.
Debate Dreams
In a little more than 10 years, UNLV's public policy debate squad has made a name for itself, going head-to-head with and triumphing over other university teams with decades of history and wins behind them. In the team's 11th season, debaters put in about 40 hours of work every week to prepare for each tournament, while also keeping their eyes on the national championship. As the wins piled up over the season, the squad — with debaters Matthew Gomez and Jeffrey Horn at the helm — entered the championship tournament with a No. 3 ranking.
At the National Debate Tournament, Gomez and Horn made it to the quarterfinals round, which is the team's best ever championship finish. In addition, Gomez and Horn were also ranked as the 12th- and 15th-best individual speakers, respectively, at the debate. They're the first two UNLV debaters to rank that high.

Electronic Excellence
Three years ago, UNLV offered the first-ever academic course and lab that asks students to envision a viable business model for the newest gaming-related phenomena: esports. In 2018, the university ushered in another first — a championship win in the inaugural Mountain West esports showdown — in what's become a burgeoning industry.
UNLV's student club team 8-bit defeated Boise State at home at the Cox Pavilion. The team won two of three events — Overwatch and League of Legends — to become champions.

Education Dive
A Journey to 30
UNLV first joined Hailey Dawson's journey four years ago when College of Engineering students and faculty teamed up with Dawson to design and build her a 3D-printed prosthetic hand from scratch. That journey culminated this September when Dawson, 8, achieved her dream of throwing out the first pitch at all 30 Major League Baseball parks — a Guiness World Record. She also dropped the puck at a Golden Knights game in February. It was an inspirational feat, one that was cheered on from the sidelines by another inspiring young woman — UNLV biomedical engineering student Maria Gerardi. Gerardi worked hand-in-hand with Hailey to create 30 different 3D-printed hands to reflect each MLB team. Gerardi also made sure to leave enough room for Hailey to get the all-important autographs from her favorite players.

In 2018, UNLV students proved that they don't have to wait until graduation before making a difference. Students embodied the Rebel attributes of being daring, diverse, and different throughout the year and through numerous activities and competition wins. Among them: a new student group encourages minority and Latino students to choose the health care field; a student's gaming innovation earned a patent; UNLV accounting students garnered their second win at the National Student Case Competition; and a group of 10 students are learning to be "Top Gun" educators.

Awesome Alumni
Student success is on full display every year at the university's two commencement ceremonies. But the achievements don't end once students leave campus. Several recent UNLV graduates and other alumni made the news in 2018 for overcoming adversity, their commitment to community and innovation, their ingenuity and beating the odds.

A camel ride seemed like the perfect way to celebrate my son's 20th birthday. I was excited. Who wouldn't love a camel ride?
Will looking cool on his camel.
Will rode his camel with great style.
My favorite part of this picture is not the memory of my 'distress'; it's Tara, our wonderful driver in the blue shirt on the right. Having made the arrangements for us, I think his expression shows great concern for 'madam'.
Starting to relax, but pleading to go back.
If only I could keep my focus on the serene view of Jal Mahal, the water palace just across the road. They'll soon be opening the long shuttered royal retreat for dining. Can I get there by camel?
Relief! The long 15 minute ride was over…..
Clearly, a terrific time was had by all. Tara seems very proud of us. And Will, to his great credit, never made a snide remark about mom's total freak out during his birthday camel ride.
Samode Haveli is my favorite place to stay in Jaipur. Please don't tell your friends about it!
The Haveli sits inside the walls of the Pink City and was the summer house of the Maharajah of Samode, used by him and his entourage when he came to the city for official visits to the Maharaja of Jaipur. The larger Samode Palace is outside the city and also a hotel. The Maharaja's heirs live at Samode Haveli, with their families and dogs, on the upper level.
In the afternoon the family dogs are exercised; one a Jack Russel-like high energy guy and the other a mellow lab-like guy. High-energy-guy can also be found hanging around the main courtyard meet-and-greet area, keeping track of things but totally disinterested in guests cozying up to him. He's busy with other concerns.
High-energy-guy often hangs out here.
The haveli is lovely and serene; the perfect escape for Maharani wannabes. Narrow passageways, many of which open onto small private courtyards, balconies, or a central courtyard, lead to rooms which reveal the status of the original occupants.
You can spend some downtime fantasizing about palace intrique while you watch cricket on the telly. And yes, the haveli has installed that maddening Indian electrical system with a million switches requiring patience, or an excellent memory.
After a brief seclusion (this is a good thing to do after the streets of Jaipur), head to the pool for tea and biscuits. My favorites are McVitites Digestives (just bought a package here in the U.S. and paid over $6!) Usually Samode serves a more refined biscuit with tea.
As the sun lowers, birds start to arrive for their overnight roost in the trees and kites rise in the sky. You might see monkeys hanging out on the roof and evidence of family life is found in the pet rabbit and guinea pig hutch close by. I love this aspect of Samode; hanging around with the pets of royal linneage.
Most people eat dinner late in India, but for me a belly full of curry doesn't make for a restful sleep. The central courtyard, where dinner is served at Samode, has a series of small lit pools and a romantic atmosphere.
The waiters step deftly around the pools and traditional musicians perform the music you want to hear while you sip your Kingfisher beer and munch on garlic nan. The food is good, if you stick to Indian, and the atmosphere is perfect. Bring your shawl for the cool nights. You can close out the evening back at the pool. There are cabannas for lounging with your honey or your book or your nightcap.
…….and Samode waiting for you at the end of the day.
Just down the street and around the corner from the Taj Hotel in Mumbai is my favorite boutique hotel. The Gordon House Hotel has more than one thing to boast about. The location is perfect. It's within two blocks of the Taj, four blocks from Leopolds and around the corner from touristy street shopping. There's a coffee house and a single screen theatre (a dying breed) within a block. The staff are great.
But the best is what's downstairs! All Stir Fry is on the street level and here you can see your food cooked in front of you. It's so comforting! Breakfast is also served here and it's all up to par. The paratha are especially good with scrambled eggs. GH used to serve breakfast on the roof in a small, but fun, room with a south India atmosphere. The roof is now reserved for parties.
But wait, there's more! On the first floor is Polly Esther's.
If you aren't exhausted from a day on the streets of Mumbai, you can party with the young crowd at Poly Esther's and you'll only have to stagger upstairs to bed! I admit, I haven't done this. I always ask for a room on the 4th floor to be as far from the music as possible. It's never been a problem and I like coming 'home' to the neighborhood hot spot.
This is also a part of Colaba where a morning walk rewards you with great old homes and buildings, aged by sea air and time.
Oh, I guess I should say something about the guest rooms at Gordon House. Not big, but big enough, comfortable bed, clean, and all the usual gadgets. It's not the Taj, but you'll save at least $200 a night, and with the Taj so close you'll feel like it's in your backyard.
One last thing, there's great shopping in the alley next door.
The kind of thing I love about India.
Mumbai isn't for everyone. A mega city of 18 million people, its overwhelming congestion, noise and dirt can be a real turn-off. But I like it. It has the same kind of energy that draws people to New York city. I admit that I hardly know it. I cocoon myself in Colaba and mostly head out on foot. Car travel is limited to a trip to Anokhi and now to Malabar Hill, where Hansiba has opened a shop.
It had been two years since my last visit. There are many changes. A new toll road by-passes some of the congestion on the way to the airport, though it can still take over an hour if a VIP, like Rahul Gandhi, is expected in town. More public transportation projects are underway and several million people have been added. The international airport has a new terminal and multiple security checkpoints (you'll need to leave plenty of time for this).
I was anxious to see The Taj Hotel. Like millions of people I watched through that night and into the morning.
and the staircase is still dizzyingly beautiful.
Looking up the staircase, to the ceiling.
Luckily you have to walk up a flight to the Sea Lounge. You'll want to have your picture taken as you descend. The panoramic view of the harbor and Gateway to India from the Sea Lounge is partially obstructed by scaffolding and netting where repair work is still underway. But in the adjoining room I took this picture of the colorful boats waiting to ferry pilgrims and visitors to Elephanta Caves.
Indian Princess on the hoof.
and all guests are welcome.
This is Iqbal. I don't know how he would feel if I said to him that I find him adorable. This is me, wishing I was as talented, and cute, as he (him?). And this is my souvenir from my trip to the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing. Iqbal encouraged me with a warm smile and thumbs-up as I tried to steady my hand and align the blocks. Only toward the end was I able to place a block without him laying his hand over mine. If you want to see Iqbal in all his printing glory watch his 'you tube' video.
Iqbal and his lowly apprentice.
And this is Majib. Look at his masterpiece! His intricate carving of the wood block is indeed something to be proud of. Together he and Iqbal were the highlight of my trip to the Anokhi Museum, but there are many other reasons to visit.
Majib and his handcarved block.
The history of block printing, the story of Sanganer (which is much of the history of block printing), the collection, and the beautiful Haveli that houses it make the short excursion from Jaipur well worth your time. You'll find the museum by the Kheri Gate of the Amber Fort. It has been lovingly restored by the founders of Anokhi. You can visit the Fort (truly awesome) in the morning and then head to the museum.
While there we watched an engrossing video about the Indigo dye making process. The producer compared it to wine making; harvesting the Indigo plant at just the right time, fermenting until just the right color and smell, oxygenating, distilling, forming and drying (not too fast) the dye blocks. All in all, a long and labor intense process. The Indigo dye from the featured farm is prized by international buyers (and Anokhi) for its exceptional quality.
Leaving the video room and passing through a narrow doorway we ran into Suki from Cincinnati. She's at the museum several times a year to curate the exhibits. She's lively and great fun to talk with and her favorite time to visit Jaipur is August! I'm hoping she'll be in Jaipur the next time I visit so we can have a meal together. It's funny thinking about meeting up in Jaipur when we're both from the U.S.
I have more pictures and when the camera cord issue is solved I'll get them posted.
Shopping's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it! Here's a photo from "Day One: On the Streets of Mumbai".
First up, Hansiba, which is the label for Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA). I was delighted to learn that they had opened a shop here in Mumbai. I've shopped them in Delhi before. Wonderful Gujarati embroidery. Hilary Clinton visited the shop when she was here and they're proud of that.
Then onto Tulsi, the shop of Neeru Kumar. Georgeous weaving. A little hard to find but Sadarauddin got us there in his spiffy new teeny, tiny car, perfect for Mumbai traffic. How many cabs are there in Mumbai? 30,000 plus or minus.
After lunch at All Stir Fry, and a recuperative nap, we hit Fabindia. It was fabulous! I got beautiful silk scarves and stoles and fun purses that I hadn't seen there before. The place is packed with shoppers. They have neat shopping bags made out of newspaper and hand lettered.
And last, my favorite shopping experience, the "Golden Causeway", street shopping where you'll see all the tourists and someone's always trying to offer you the best pashmina on the subcontinent. I bought enammeled earrings and bangles….clink, clink, clink.
My grandmother Edna started her travel business, Global Tours, at the age of 50 in Peoria, Illinois. She wanted to 'see the world'. She did, leading tours to all the countries on her bucket list except China, which wasn't open when she stopped traveling at the age of 80.
She would sometimes layover in Los Angeles, where we lived, and she always arrived dressed in her travel clothes; three-piece suit, hat, heeled shoes (about 2 inches) and stockings, which I know were held up by her long-line 'merry widow'. When we lived in India she came to visit, arriving in full travel regalia. We toured India together and in the photo of us riding the elephant at Amber Fort in Jaipur, she is DRESSED!
Gram never, ever wore pants in her 95 years. And when she died I think she probably had on her 'merry widow'. When she fully retired at the age of 90, and moved back to Peoria from LA (where she had come to live for a decade to enjoy the warm weather) she put on her stockings and 'merry widow' EVERY DAY before reading the Wall Street Journal. Wow!
I'm all about comfort when I travel. There's not a buckle or zipper or button or snap or clasp on me, except for some jewelry. One of my gripes when I travel by air is how my hair gets full of static. So today, I've rubbed a dryer sheet (unscented) over my hair and clothes. Another gripe is of course the seats. So today, on my way to mid-eighties and high humidity in Mumbai, I'm taking my long (to the calf) down filled jacket to be my feather bed for the 14+ hour flight. It squishes up nicely in a suitcase.
I've got my chocolate; I plan to eat one an hour. And my eye mask, where I can hide and not see all the people who are SLEEPING when I'm not. My technique for long flights? Do as Wilbur the Pig did that morning in the barnyard; from 9-9:15, scratch back; from 9:15-9:30, visit toilet; from 9:30-11, watch movie……you get the idea. A well planned trip.
Talk with you on the other side!
Have you seen the PBS series "The Story of India"? The host and producer, Michael Wood, has such infectious enthusiasm for his topic that even if India is not at the top of your list, I guarantee you will enjoy at least one episode, but try to stay on through the whole series. It's fantastic! It will probably come around again, or you can buy the DVD set.
Michael Wood has also written a book called The Story of India. I'm not a history buff, maybe because I think to be one I need to hold dates and events in my mind so that everything gets perfectly aligned. But that's his job, not mine. I get to sit back and let the sense of it all wash over me while he does the heavy lifting. Allowing bits of Indian history to imbed themselves in your psyche is HISTORY in the MACRO. You grow larger, not smaller, because you become part of something big, epic, enduring; I guess in a way growing and shrinking at the same time, like the iPod Nano.
I thought I would take much longer with this book when I started because I kept thinking, uh oh, better read that part again cause you're not going to remember it. But I've overcome myself and it looks like I'll actually finish it sometime this month. It's a fitting book to take to India, so that's fine. I do want to move onto Jumpa Lahiri's newest collection of short stories Unaccustomed Earth, but will insert a book about Turkey inbetween so I'm primed for my trip in April.
I'm going to India next week! At this point, I'm all aflutter with anticipation. Excitement about my absolute favorite thing, waking up that first morning in India, gets me through the long hump of a 14 hour non-stop flight.
This last week I make a list. Even though I've been to India many times, and even though almost anything can be found in India, I don't want to spend my time looking for stuff on my first day. Here's my gotta-have-stuff when I travel to India. You can play "Where's Waldo" and look for it in the photo.
1. The right shoes. I was just looking at photos from an '06 trip to India when I still did the bulky white tennis shoe thing. They scream American tourist. But that's not why I changed to sandals. India is dusty and yes, in many places I will have to step carefully. I wash my feet, duh, and sandals (I love these Teva's; you can get them at DSW for $24) every night. That way I'm not collecting a suitcase full of nasty socks and wearing the same dusty shoes every day. Plus, and this is very important, India is a country where feet are shown. I'll get a pedicure before going, so my dusty feet will look their best.
2. Duffle bags. Every ounce counts, so I don't want to use up precious quarter ounces with heavy suitcases. I take one sturdy suitcase and two light-weight duffles. The rolled duffles go in my suitcase for the trip over and carry textiles back. I just got these new gold ones on line from Cabel's. I love the color.
3. Travel size toothpaste. I was astonished to discover that not all travel toothpaste is the same size! (It's the little things.) One ounce lasts about a week. There's a huge difference between .75 and 1 ounce; probably 2-3 brushings! Look for this one.
4. Ambien and Cipro. I never down an Ambien on the flight because I don't want to drool in public. But it gives me a solid 5 hours of sleep the first and second nights in India. I don't want to spend my time sleeping in India, but I do want to sleep. I still use Cipro for, you know, though some people recommend other antibiotics. This works for me, so far.
5. Off. I don't take anti-Malarial medicine because I figure why poison inside and outside? There are other mosquito-borne-nasties in India (I hate the idea of getting Dengue) so I need to cover with Off, or something. The place where I've seen the most mosquitos? The international departure lounge at the Mumbai airport. Go figure.
6. Pepto. This is helpful not only because exotic food can be a little unsettling, but three days into eating dal, I usually want to slow down. Pepto does both.
7. Small combo lock. I lock my suitcase during the day. I don't travel with any valuables but sometimes I buy them along the way. Keeping the combo simple helps my feeble mind and just having the lock will slow down any snoopers.
8. Photo copies. I carry photocopies of my passport plus front and back of credit cards. I lock these in my suitcase during the day. I always keep my passport with me because some merchants want to see it when I'm making a large purchase. This year I might need it to get into the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Credit card hint; Capital One is the only card I use when traveling because, so far, they don't charge an overseas transaction fee. Makes a difference.
9. Large plastic bags. I mostly use the 2.5 gallon size. I take alot of these and fill them with my purchases for the trip back. They're also good for undies, which relieves my fear of seeing something hanging out of my suitcase as it travels around the luggage carousal. My luggage often has an 'inspected by TSA' sticker on it.
10. Cotton clothes. I don't wear synthetics in India. Cotton is king there and with good reason. You know those wrinkle free travel clothes? Heavy and clammy. It's possible to pack cotton without looking all wrinkled on the other side. I, of course, pack Anokhi, what else?

In this accessible and distilled craft guide, acclaimed poet Tony Hoagland approaches poetry through the frame of poetic voice, that mysterious connective element that binds the speaker and reader together. A poem strong in the dimension of voice is an animate thing of shifting balances, tones, and temperatures, by turns confiding, vulgar, bossy, or cunning--but above all, alive.
The twelve short chapters of The Art of Voice explore ways to create a distinctive poetic voice, including vernacular, authoritative statement, material imagination, speech register, tone-shifting, and using secondary voices as an enriching source of texture in the poem. A comprehensive appendix contains thirty stimulating models and exercises that will help poets cultivate their craft. Mining his personal experience as a poet and analyzing a wide range of examples from Catullus to Marie Howe, Hoagland provides a lively introduction to contemporary poetry and an invaluable guide for any practicing writer.

Richie Porte Extends Contract with BMC Racing Team Beyond 2017
admin - June 29, 2017 June 29, 2017
Richie Porte will remain with BMC Racing Team beyond the 2017 season, General Manager Jim Ochowicz announced today at the team's Tour de France press conference.
Porte, 32, joined BMC Racing Team in 2016 and has recorded two UCI WorldTour stage race wins, five stage wins, and fifth overall at the 2016 Tour de France, during that time.
Ochowicz said it was an easy decision to re-sign Porte ahead of the 2017 Tour de France.
"Since joining BMC Racing Team last year, Richie Porte has developed into our outright General Classification leader. Richie's skill set and results speak for themselves and are in line with the team's goals and objectives throughout the season. In just over a year, Richie has become an integral part of this organization and it a pleasure to extend his contract," Ochowicz explained.
"In 2017 alone, Richie has delivered the overall win at the Santos Tour Down Under and Tour de Romandie, second place at the Critérium du Dauphiné and four stage wins, so I think any team would be thrilled to have a rider of Richie's calibre in their ranks. We have the most important race of the year ahead of us and we felt it was the right moment to re-sign Richie so that his full concentration can be on the Tour de France. We already have full confidence in Richie and I think we are further demonstrating that with this announcement. We are excited to see what Richie does at the Tour de France and beyond with BMC Racing Team."
Porte attributed his success and decision to re-sign to the team environment at BMC Racing Team.
"I have really enjoyed my first two years with BMC Racing Team so it was a natural decision to extend my contract. We are on the eve of the biggest race of the year, and my biggest goal of the season, and I feel at home with my teammates and the management and staff. I have raced with a few teams throughout the years and I definitely think BMC Racing Team is the right fit at this point in my career as I try to win the Tour de France. I like the atmosphere and the way BMC Racing Team operates, so I am sure this is where I want to be," Porte said.
"I've had a great first half of the season and I think my results are a reflection of the way the team has created a really good training and racing environment for me. Things like having training camps at home in Monaco and building a core group of teammates around me from the first race of the year in Australia have really helped me. Whatever happens over the next three weeks, I'm looking forward to keeping the BMC Racing Team jersey on my back beyond the end of the season."

Hopefully the plant lovers have stuck with us, because the New York Botanical Garden is a non-profit with some great entry-level jobs.

Most kids beg their parents to take them to the zoo. Animals are exciting. They move. They eat. They make sounds. They smell bad. Plants have none of those appeal factors. Plants don't move, they grow. They absorb their nutrients. They're soundless. And they smell good (most of them anyways). To most kids that spells B-O-R-I-N-G. The zoo is an 86-minute comedy movie, while a botanical garden is 142 minutes of Academy Award winning cinematic genius. It might take a little growing up to appreciate plants for all they're worth, but when you really start to observe plants, it's hard not to start to enjoy their "personality." Maybe that wasn't the best way to start off today's post, since there's a good chance that those of our readers who will actually want these jobs have loved flora since they were old enough to crawl around their parents' garden.
Hopefully the plant lovers have stuck with us, because the New York Botanical Garden is a non-profit with some great entry-level jobs. We're not going to go into too much detail – you can do the research yourself, but we have identified three positions (Graphic Designer, Group Tours Assistant, Laboratory Technician) as extremely well suited for a new college grad. You can apply through their HR contact form which allows you to attach your resume.
The New York Botanical Garden's website is great if you're a potential visitor, but it's a little lacking if you're looking for deeper information about the organization itself. Their employment listings are hidden away in a menu that we nearly overlooked, and their job descriptions are contained in weird scroll boxes that make them pretty hard to read. Still, these are great jobs for anyone who is interested in botany or who just wants to be around flowers all day (if you love flowers, but aren't looking for non-profit work, try ProFlowers).
Note: On April 27th we revisited entry-level jobs at New York Botanical Garden.
The New York Botanical Garden has amazing internships, so take a look at those if you've still got a few semesters before you graduate.

Mini reviews - Short films #01
Scritto il 16 February 2017 4 April 2017 da Loren Dushku
This post is in Italian and English
Kung fu panda – Secrets of the furious five
After the great success of Kung-fu Panda, in 2009 DreamWorks has released a short film, Secrets of the furious five, that sees the panda Po struggling with a new challenge: to teach kung fu to a class of little bunnies from the valley! While at first it is inadequate to the task, thanks to a set of stories he manages to get the attention of bunnies and convey his passion for martial arts. Po tells five stories, each linked to one of the cyclones, which tell how the great warriors learned to excel in their art, and that is with patience, courage, self-confidence, compassion and discipline, that are also the pillars of kung fu. The stories are truly original even though the one I preferred was that which has Tiger as main character.
History of the slayer
History of the slayer, rather than a short film, was a kind of advertising that transmitted the WB channel shortly before the start of the show Buffy – the Vampire Slayer. It is also rumored that these movies were created by Joss Whedon, the creator of the TV show, to let understand Fox executives the concept of the slayer before they saw the pilot. This movie, in fact, also contains clips taken from the pilot episode that was never aired where are obvious differences from the one aired. For exemple it is clear that there is a much lower budget and there are some changes in the characters (first of all the presence of an actress who is not Hannigan in Willow cloths). The particularity of these films, however, is due to the presence of the history of some slayers who have operated between 1845 and 1997. The two shown in this movie are Abigail Cole, a slayer that in 1625 stopped a series of mysterious deaths attributed to unknown animals in Massachusetts; and Belle Malone who put an end to a series of deaths in Kansas in the summer of 1888.
Alice in Wonderland is a silent short film of 1903 that boasts the title of the first film adaptation of the famous children's book. Developed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, this work contains truly innovative special effects for its time (as the magnification and shrinking of Alice) and for a 35 mm film. A copy of the movie has been restored and preserved by the British Film Institute but despite all efforts a part of the frame is irretrievably lost. As a historical document it is definitely worth preserving but in the eye of a modern spectator, not particularly a movies fan, it can be quite boring.

Google penalizes Chrome & Google+ rapidly rises in popularity
I have written about Google in the past, but the number one search engine has been in the news again lately, for both good and bad publicity. 2012 appears to be a monster year for Google, as it continues to develop and market new products, challenging Facebook, Apple, and Internet Explorer along the way. Here are the recent transgressions and progressions that have affected the technology giant.
Google penalizes Chrome browser for sponsored post
Google wisely displayed a lack of preferential treatment by penalizing its own Chrome browser after discovering that a hired third-party advertising agency was unfairly using sponsored posts that violate Google's webmaster guidelines.
The Chrome homepage has been lowered beyond page five for searches of the key phrases "chrome," "browser," and "Google chrome." It had previously been ranked on the first page for those terms. Google also reduced its page rank, which is the metric that determines the strength of a website. The penalties are believed to be enforced for a 60-day period.
Honestly, Google probably could have skirted its own rules in order to avoid down-ranking its web browser, but the decision to hold itself to its own standards shows integrity. In my opinion, the publicity garnered from this good-will gesture will more than compensate for worse search results.
Besides, who is even searching the internet to find Chrome? Those who know about it already use it. Experts predict that Internet Explorer will finally lose its position as the top web browser to Chrome sometime in 2012. Chrome has made headway by offering the Google search engine as standard, providing the Chrome web store with awesome apps, and becoming the automatic browser for the increasingly popular Android platform. Google will continue to dominate the internet landscape , but if you need more proof…
Google+ is booming!
Google's social media network and heir apparent to the Facebook throne is skyrocketing in membership. Just months after its release, Google+ is estimated to have over 60 million members. This figure is significant, because maintaining the current pace would put Google+ at over 400 million users by the end of 2012. And just to put that number in perspective, Facebook currently is beyond the 800 million mark, but with nearly 8 years in existence.
The main reason for this boom is simple: internet users have learned from Facebook (and other social websites) the value of belonging to popular social networks, coupled with the trust of the Google brand. Social media allows people to share news, jokes, online deals, pictures, interests, and other information to friends and followers in their networks.
Additional reasons for the fast rate of growth can be attributed to the popularity of Android devices integrated with Google+, better opportunities for brand marketing, and ease of use.
Regardless of how you feel about the web's Goliath, Android, Google+, and Chrome should see continued advances in 2012 as Google maintains its valuable status for online businesses, internet marketing companies, and web surfers.

It's October which means spring break time here in Australia! I still find it difficult to wrap my head around the seasons here. I love the warm weather but my brain keeps telling me that October is fall, not spring. My host family is so incredible and let me take a few friends to their beach unit in Caloundra. A fun little getaway up the Sunshine Coast can always rejuvenate your spirits!
We made it up in time to attend the launch of the 2013 Caloundra Music Festival and enjoyed great music from the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars at the Surf Stage. We put our blanket down, ate some Vietnamese baguettes, and danced the night away. The evening culminated with fireworks on the beach which was just lovely. The weather was absolutely beautiful.
The next morning, we rented kayaks from Golden Beach Hire who are awesome and hail from North America! They are so friendly to us every time we use their equipment which ranges from stand up boards to catamarans. We ventured over to Bribie Island and found a private beach where we did hand stands and head stands for a while! Doing a hand stand is quite difficult but fortunately, I have great friends who assisted me. Then, we just enjoyed the beautiful water and soaked up the sun. We took a few jumping photos that really reflect the fun we were having on the beach. I definitely don't take for granted the gorgeous scenery surrounding me.
As we do, hunger struck and we decided to head home and make a healthy lunch of chicken salad with some pasta on the rooftop. We all love avocados and can't imagine a meal without it. The price of avocados are crazy here though. They cost anywhere from $2-4 for EACH ONE! My mom eats them every day and we can purchase them for 29 cents to 89 cents (which is pricey) for each one. Avocados have given me a wake up call here in Brisbane. Actually, grocery shopping in general shocked me. You can easily spend $100 on groceries for one person a week which is quite exorbitant compared to the United States. I know that prices vary depending where you live in Australia or even in the States but I would say on average, I pay twice or three times as much here in Australia for groceries and rent compared to the United States. After having a discussion with my host family, he enlightened me that the supply and demand here in Australia is much smaller than that in the States. With that said, it makes a lot more sense why the prices are a bit higher but it still hurts the student pocket.
Another thing that I love about being in Caloundra are the sunsets and sunrises. It's truly the most magnificent moments in a day. The sky changes rapidly in a matter of minutes and I am just left speechless. I was talking a million miles a minute to my friend Remy and all of a sudden, we were both silenced. With the ship passing by at sunset, the sky turns from blue to orange in a flash. The perfect way to end an active day on the water.
The next day, Sara took us to the best gelato in Caloundra. Make sure you go by Milano Gelateria next time you make a trip up the sunshine coast. There are no tasting here but I can forgive that. I ordered the pistachio, stracciatella, and passionfruit. The passionfruit was hands down my FAVORITE. I am craving some this instance and wish I could blink my eyes a few times for it to appear. We all loved Sara for sharing this gelato place with us and for the quality friend time we had over the much needed break. Queensland has so much to offer in terms of nature and if you want a more relaxed vibe, the sunshine coast is your way to go.

New ELCA Camp Opens This Summer
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America will be announcing the opening of another outdoor ministry site later this week, in central Maine. "This is the most excited I have been in all of my years of involvement in outdoor ministry." Mark D. Burkhardt Director for ELCA Outdoor Ministry said earlier this week. "Not only will people be able to experience the beauty that Maine has to offer, but we expect that people from all around the United States will come and experience this place."
The new camp is called Camp Wobegone (pronounced "woe-be-gone") — the name is inspired by the popular fictional town created by radio personality and storyteller Garrison Keillor. "I think this is a wonderful idea" Keillor said about the camp. "The people of Lake Wobegon have always enjoyed the outdoors. At first we were wondering why the Lutheran Church chose to open the camp in Maine instead of Minnesota. We were informed that there was a smudge on the paperwork and the clerk thought it was an ME instead of a MN…..Mistakes happen."
Camp Wobegone is located on a beautiful lake in central Maine. "We have found a place in central Maine that we really think is going to work. Out of the 35,000 square miles of Maine, including the 3,500 miles of tidal coastline we believe this site is going to have a large draw for people.
It is easily accessible to all of Maine's major cities as well as a number of airports. When people come to Camp Woebegone they can enjoy the fellowship and the spiritual component of the camp and from there they will have an opportunity to explore the rock-bound coast of Maine which include lighthouses, beaches, fishing villages, and thousands of offshore islands, including the Isles of Shoals, which straddle the New Hampshire border." Burkhart said.
Camp Wobegone has its first director Adam Eveson. Adam is a young energetic native New Englander ready to take on the challenge of starting a camp. "Back home in Vermont, we pratically lived outdoors. I would like to thank my pastor at New Life Lutheran Church for telling me about this opportunity. I am thankful to be able to serve God in this way and I know we will have lots of successes." When asked about his camping experiences he told us "I was a counselor at Camp Calumet for a number of years and in college I studied business as well as outdoor education."
The ELCA has appointed eight members to the board of directors. They will oversee the set-up of the camp and make sure things are running properly and in good Lutheran Order.

The manuscripts of Kurma Purana have survived into the modern era in many versions. The number of chapters vary with regional manuscripts, and the critical edition of the Kurma Purana has 95 chapters. Tradition believes that the Kurma Purana text had 17,000 verses, the extant manuscripts have about 6,000 verses.
The text, states Ludo Rocher, is the most interesting of all the Puranas in its discussion of religious ideas, because while it is a Vaishnavism text, Vishnu does not dominate the text. Instead, the text covers and expresses reverence for Vishnu, Shiva and Shakti with equal enthusiasm. The Kurma Purana, like other Puranas, includes legends, mythology, geography, Tirtha (pilgrimage), theology and a philosophical Gita. The notable aspect of its Gita, also called the Ishvaragita, is that it is Shiva who presents ideas similar to those found in the Bhagavad Gita.
The original core of the text may have been composed about the start of the 8th-century CE, and revised thereafter over the centuries.
The Kurma Purana exists in many versions, but all of them consist of two parts - the Purva-vibhaga (older part) and Upari-vibhaga (upper part). The number of chapters vary with the manuscripts. The critical edition of the different manuscripts contains fifty one chapters in Purva-vibhaga and forty four in Upari-vibhaga.
The Padma Purana categorizes Kurma Purana as a Tamas Purana. Scholars consider the Sattva-Rajas-Tamas classification as "entirely fanciful" and there is nothing in this text that actually justifies this classification.
Kurma is, states Rocher, the most interesting religion-themed Purana, because even though it is named after one of the Vishnu avatar, it actually contains a combination of Vishnu and Shiva related legends, mythology, Tirtha (pilgrimage) and theology. The stories are similar to those found in the other Puranas, but neither Vishnu nor Shiva dominate the text. The text presents a tour guide to medieval Varanasi (also known as the holy city of Banaras or Kashi), but mostly about the Shaiva sites, while elsewhere Pancaratra stories present Vishnu prominently but with Sri as the Supreme Shakti who is energy and power of all gods including Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma.
The Kurma Purana, like other Puranas, includes a philosophical Gita. It is titled Ishvaragita, and its eleven chapters are an adaptation of Bhagavad Gita in a Shiva-as-spokesman format. These eleven chapters are in the Uttaravibhāga.
The Ishvara-gita borrows and refers to the Bhagavad Gita as well as Upanishads such as the Katha Upanishad and Shvetashvatara Upanishad. It presents yoga and vrata like the Bhagavad Gita, but as a discourse from Shiva. The discourse begins after Vishnu and Shiva give a hug to each other, according to the text, and then Vishnu invites Shiva to explain the nature of the world, life and self. Shiva explains Atman (soul, self), Brahman-Purusha, Prakriti, Maya, Yoga and Moksha. The philosophical theme, states Rocher is built on Advaita Vedanta ideas, that is emphasizing the identity of the Atman (individual soul) and the Ultimate Reality concept of Brahman. The text is notable for asserting that anyone from any varna can achieve liberation through Bhakti yoga.
The Nārada Purāṇa (I.106. 1-22) gives a brief overview of the sections of the Kurma Purana, along with summaries of other Puranas.

As more and more customers have come to expect to be able to buy anything online, businesses have had to adapt the way that they do business. If your company doesn't have an eCommerce store, you are losing business, no matter if you are B2C or B2B. B2B distributors are definitely not immune to this. Even though some B2B customers are viewed as slow adopters of eCommerce, it is better to be ahead of the trend than left in the dust. Giving your customers the option of purchasing online can lead to more sales and greater satisfaction. If you are a B2B distributor contemplating offering eCommerce, here are some consideration and tips to keep in mind with your distribution and manufacturing custom eCommerce solution.
When deciding to invest in eCommerce B2B distributors need to also invest in a manufacturing eCommerce solution. Your eCommerce store needs to be tightly, or even better seamlessly, integrated with your business systems such as your ERP and CRM. The reason that integration is crucial is because it can save your staff time and energy while making the buying process easier for your customers. For example, when a customer logs on to their account on your online store and buys an item, integration will allow for that information to be sent to your business systems, possibly setting off other actions such as emailing a salesperson that their client has made an order or printing packing labels. Integrating your online store with your systems makes it easier to manage your business.
Customers love having options, especially when it comes to ordering. Having a distribution eCommerce platform enables your customers to order from your business anytime, anywhere without the need to contact a salesperson, which in turn saves your sales team time and energy. Additionally, if you have a tightly integrated system, an eCommerce store could allow current clients to change or add to orders on their own. Having these types of options available could in turn increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
One of the biggest worries we hear from distributors who are considering selling online is creating sales channel conflicts. Salespeople are worried that they will become obsolete or valuable business relationships will be hindered. However, this isn't the case if eCommerce is implemented and used correctly as a tool to gain new customers and grow relationships. Focus on using eCommerce as an additional channel instead of fighting to become the main channel. Create joint marketing promotions to give your clients a seamless shopping and ordering experience whether they choose to order from you in person, online, or both. The most important thing to remember is that eCommerce is there to aid your distribution business, not change your business model altogether.
At Clarity, we understand the need for distribution eCommerce integration for B2B distributors. Our team at Clarity has done numerous projects for distributors. From integrating your business systems to helping you create your eCommerce store, our team is ready and capable to help your company. To find out more about how Clarity can help your distributing business thrive online, call or click to contact us today!

Q: Data Interoperability Extension Live connection to WFS from arc10 I am trying to make use of a live non-cached Data Interoperability (DI) connection to consume a WFS services served by geoserver. The data displays in arcmap fine, and using fiddler to monitor the HTTP traffic, I can see the live http requests and responses as I pan and zoom the map. However, viewing the attribute table, or other operations such as select by rectangle are not working. Looking at the requests and responses with fiddler, the problem seems to be with the format of the filter xml embedded by arc10/DI within the request.
Arc/DI is embedding something like this:
<ogc:Filter>
<ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
<ogc:PropertyName>SomeProperty</PropertyName>
<ogc:Literal>100</Literal>
</ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
<ogc:/Filter>

The server is failing to parse this filter xml.
When I manually edit the xml in the requests within fiddler to this (ie drop the ogc namespace)
<Filter>
<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>SomeProperty</PropertyName>
<Literal>100</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>
</Filter>

the server understands the request and send the feature gml back.
Is this is a bug on the Arc/DI side?

A: In the end we used our server wrapper code to strip the ogc namespace from the filter in the request before forwarding on to geoserver.  Another option would have been to add, the ogc namespace url to the ogc:filter element.  This would have worked too.

In the second installment of our 4-part "SME Special" blog series, we want to share with you two more funding programs that you can tap to restructure and improve productivity in your Singapore company.
convert 60% of their PIC spend (capped at S$100,000) into a non-taxable cash payout, capped at S$60,000 for YA 2011 and YA 2012. For YA 2013 – 2015, the total cash payout would be capped at S$60,000 per YA.
With the cash-payout option, which was introduced this year, the pain of investing could be eased.
In order to qualify for the cash payout option, your firm must be a sole proprietorship, partnership or company and carry on business operations in Singapore. In addition, it must employ at least three local workers. This means the workers must be citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents with CPF contributions. Shareholders who are directors do not count as local workers.
For more information on the PIC Scheme, please visit PIC Scheme Guide.
The second program may be less familiar to most of you. The IGP, which is managed by the National Trades Union Congress, offers to co-fund productivity improvement projects that in turn benefits and shares gains with low wage workers i.e. those earning S$1,700 or less per month. Businesses must be registered and operating in Singapore.
For example, in order for your firm to qualify for IGP funding, you must identify areas for improvement in your firm based on challenges and business opportunities. Then you must plan your project, to include automation and equipment costs, process re-engineering and staff training costs.
Eligible projects stand to have 50% of the first two costs co-funded, capped at S$150,000 per project and S$500,000 per company per annum. The training costs, on the other hand, may be defrayed by 90%, subject to funding caps.

NTC orders telcos to refund text overcharge | Inquirer Business
NTC orders telcos to refund text overcharge
By: Miguel R. Camus - Reporter / @miguelrcamusINQ
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 08:13 AM May 08, 2014
MANILA, Philippines—Mobile phone consumers should be getting soon some reprieve in their ever-rising cellular bills after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered Wednesday a sweeping refund covering several years of text-message charges between telco providers.
Showing some teeth against the powerful and politically influential telco firms, the NTC ordered the Ayala-led Globe Telecom and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) units, Smart Communications and Digital Mobile Phil. (Sun Cellular) to slash their short message service (SMS) rate to "other networks" to 80 centavos from P1.
The P0.20-per-text-message "excess charge" should then be refunded to subscribers in what would likely trigger legal action from telco players facing declining profit margins in text and calls as mobile subscribers gradually shift to services like WhatsApp and social networking sites like Facebook.
Indeed, the final amount of refunds could reach "billions of pesos" as the order became effective last Dec. 1, 2011, said NTC Director for Regulations Edgardo Cabrios.
The NTC decision, which also penalized the telcos with a P200 daily fine until they comply, was dated May 7 and was meant to resolve appeals filed by the telcos on Dec. 5, 2012, questioning the constitutional basis of the NTC decision.
Cabarios said the NTC decision is expected to be contested by Globe and PLDT, which control 30 percent and 70 percent of the cellular market, respectively.
"It's going to be a huge amount of refunds … they [Globe and PLDT] might go to the Court of Appeals," he said.
Cabarios said the NTC estimates there are about two billion text messages sent every day, with 2 percent of these, or 40 million text messages, not under a "bucket pricing plan," seen to be covered by the order.
At a 20-centavo refund, that translates to about P8 million in industry-wide refunds for each day for the last two years and five months.
Spokespersons for Globe and PLDT declined to comment on those figures while adding that their legal teams have yet to receive the NTC's order as of late afternoon Wednesday.

Q: Image not covering the whole "div" area I've been looking online for a viable solution to my problem but could not find a clear answer, so I am posting it here.
The problem is that I want to have the image cover the entire , but there seems to be some left over space below the image and I can't seem to be able to fill it up. I'm taking about the blue space in the as shown in this image:

I'm not looking for a workaround the solution. I just want a definitive solution that corrects the problem

A: Just add a display: block or vertical-align: top to your img tag.

img {
 width: 100%;
 height: auto;
  display: block;
}

.cover {
 background-color: blue;
}

A: Try changing
img {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
display:block
}

It is good if you can post a jsfiddle. so then we can looking into your actual code.

A: What I usually do for images is first determine if the image is landscape or portrait (i.e. if the image is wider than it is tall or vice-versa). Then I set the image's height or width to 100% depending on the orientation. And then overflow: hidden on the parent container so that the result is an image that has preserved the aspect ratio and covers the container.

The secret police detained him in Cairo during the Tahrir Square demonstrations. He was the first BBC reporter to arrive in Tripoli following Muammar Gaddafi's overthrow.

The Society is delighted to welcome the distinguished Sherlockian and scholar, Robert S. Katz, MD, BSI "Dr. Ainstree" to Charter Membership.Dr. Katz writes:I have been a Sherlockian since my early teens, but John Watson has always seemed to be the focal point of my interests. I received my BA from Haverford College (alma mater of all three Morley brothers) and then received my MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I trained and worked in a variety of places before settling in Morristown, NJ, in 1987, and recently retired after 35 years of practicing Pathology. In 1983, I received the Titular Investiture of "Dr. Ainstree" from The Baker Street Irregulars and in 1995 I received the Two-Shilling Award. I founded The Epilogues of Sherlock Holmes, in New Jersey, in 1990. I am also the current Headmastiff of The Sons of the Copper Beeches in Philadelphia. My ASH investiture is "Dr. Jackson". In addition, I have served as both Commissionaire and Gasogene of The Six Napoleons of Baltimore and am a member of The Five Orange Pips. I am an active member of most of the scion societies in the New York area (including Mrs. Hudson's Cliffdwellers and The Montague Street Lodgers).
I have had the pleasure and honor of speaking at many scion society meetings, the John Bennett Shaw workshop in Williamsburg, and at several of the Annual Dinners of The Baker Street Irregulars.
I have been published in The Baker Street Journal, The Baker Street Miscellanea, The Serpentine Muse, and various scion society publications. Most recently, I co-edited with Andrew Solberg (also a Charter Member of this group), the latest volume in the BSI Manuscript Series, entitled The Wrong Passage. Andy and I are currently working on another volume in this series.
Perhaps because of our mutual profession, perhaps because I admire his personality so much, Watson has always fascinated me. I am pleased and proud to be joining an organization devoted to his remarkable life and admirable works.
Please join in welcoming Dr. Katz with the traditional Society welcome to members:
