Cold Feet 'set to return for reunion series'
By Press Association
The stars of Cold Feet (opens in new tab) have reportedly signed up to appear in a revival of the hit comedy drama.
The massively successful ITV show ran for five series between 1998 and 2003.
It followed three 30-something couples living in Manchester as they settled down, and followed them through the ups and downs of their relationships, from marriage and affairs, to redundancy and starting a family.
Original cast members James Nesbitt, Hermione Norris, Fay Ripley, John Thomson and Robert Bathurst are all thought to be on board for the new series, catching up with the friends 12 years on, according to The Sun.

Helen Baxendale's character Rachel was killed off in a car crash in a shock plot twist in 2003.
A source told the newspaper, 'the deal is very nearly done'.
Filming would begin next year, with plans for the series to fill the Sunday night autumn drama slot left by Downton Abbey, which is about to screen its final series.
All the Cold Feet cast were relatively unknown before starring in the show, but have gone on to have long and successful careers in TV.
James, 50, landed a major role in Peter Jackson's three-part film adaptation of The Hobbit and recently starred in award-winning drama The Missing.

Fast Show funnyman John had a recurring role in Coronation Street while Robert appeared in Downton Abbey.
Fay has had a successful career as a food writer and last year starred in Channel 5 cop show Suspects.

Skype has patched a flaw involving its SkypeFind feature. But the security researcher who discovered the flaw said the VoIP platform remains exposed to cross-zone scripting vulnerabilities, like the latest SkypeFind bug and an earlier flaw involving movie files.
SkypeFind lets users recommend businesses, or post reviews, to others running the voice-over-IP client. Problems have arisen because Skype has neglected to sanitise a field designed to pass across reviewers' names (even though it does clean up data provided in the business item entry and text submitted in a review).
As a result of this partial oversight hackers could replace a reviewer's name with a malicious script, allowing them to inject malware onto machines running the popular application.
"An attacker can inject a malicious script in his Skype's Full Name, and whenever a victim will view a business which was reviewed by the attacker, in the SkypeFind dialog, the malicious script will be executed in an unlocked Local Zone," warns security researcher Aviv Raff, who was also instrumental in revealing previous cross-zone scripting vulnerabilities in Skype.
"Fortunately for the attacker, it is also possible to open the dialog in a specific business details page from the browser, using the skype: URI handler (e.g. skype:?skypefind ). This means that it is possible for the attacker to create a worm," he added.
In a security notice, Skype said it had fixed the SkypeFind feature. It doesn't go into details beyond saying users don't need to update client software. Skype suggested the whole thing was a storm in teacup because the flaw was hard to exploit. "There is one important precondition for the exploit to work. [The] victim must receive Skype contact request authorisation from the attacker's Skype account," it said.
Raff took issue with this assessment, pointing out that hacking techniques to automate users' contact requests would have reduced the difficulty of mounting attacks.
"The victim enters a malicious website [that] automatically calls the attacker via Skype," Raff said, describing one technique. "This can be done by using the Skype: URI handler. The attacker's bot intercept[s] the call and cancels it. Now that the bot has the victim's username, it uses the User.IsAuthorize API call to allow the victim to view the attacker's full name.
"After a few seconds, the malicious website opens the malicious SkypeFind dialog, and the victim gets owned," Raff said.
Raff has posted a Flash-based video demo (created by another security researcher, Guy Mizrahi) of the SkypeFind attack on his blog. Skype's fix fall short in providing adequate safeguards against exploitation, Raff concludes.
"I've contacted Skype security team, and they have provided a quick fix for the full name issue," Raff writes. "Unfortunately, this is not enough. I'm worried that there are probably other ways to inject a script to this dialog."


Although I find it hard to write about buildings without writing about the people who made them, buildings tend to be at the focus of my research and teaching. As my new research project foregrounds the people, I have spent a lot of time in journals and other personal papers. I anticipated learning more of the color of nineteenth-century life, but have run across a few unexpected delights of a different sort. Twice I read messages apparently recorded from the spirit world through séances (one from the deceased German mother of a draughtsman on the Capitol project, the other from Andrew Jackson), which is not a typical kind of thing for an architectural historian to deal with. Those are interesting for what they might reveal about the recipients of the messages, but more compelling (messages from dead presidents notwithstanding), I think, is the excerpt you see above, written in the diary of Benjamin Brown French (1800-70). He's writing to his son Frank, thinking that the little boy might someday want to read his dad's diary; why else write, since "no one else, I am certain, will ever waste the time necessary for such an operation…" If that spirit world is active in the way that French and many of his contemporaries thought it was, I hope he sees that he was wrong. I am not the only one who has enjoyed wasting my time with his "journalizing" and am, indeed, so glad that he wasted his time writing it all down for me.

Songs of Our Native Daughters Vinyl
Songs of Our Native Daughters shines new light on African-American women's stories of struggle, resistance, and hope. Pulling from and inspired by 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century sources, including slave narratives and early minstrelsy, kindred banjo players Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell reinterpret and create new works from old ones. With unflinching, razor-sharp honesty, they confront sanitized views about America's history of slavery, racism, and misogyny from a powerful, black female perspective. These songs call on the persistent spirits of the daughters, mothers, and grandmothers who have fought for justice – in large, public ways – only now being recognized, and in countless domestic ways that will most likely never be acknowledged.

London Bombing and Lessons to Learn from Sri Lanka
Posted on June 5th, 2017
Dr. Chandana Jayalath
Prime Minister Theresa May said Britain must be tougher in stamping out Islamist extremism after attackers killed at least seven people by ramming a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbing revelers in nearby bars. After the third militant attack in Britain in less than three months, May said Thursday's national election would go ahead. But she proposed regulating cyberspace and said Britain had been far too tolerant of extremism. "It is time to say enough is enough," the Conservative leader said outside her Downing Street office, where British flags flew at half-staff. "We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are," May said, adding that Britain was under attack from a new breed of crude copycat militants. The word 'copycat' made me write this article.
One time it was George W Bush who asked the entire World to rally round for anti-terrorism. Quoting part of his speech Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, and huge-huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger". We made no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism". This was only when US lost four aircrafts while Sri Lanka had lost 2 helicopters 2 fighter jets and 2 airbuses in addition to damages to 12 fighter jets and 3 air buses in one incident.
It should be noted that Sri Lanka is the first country in the modern World to eradicate terrorism on its own soil, thus bringing the ever best example to any forces on how to answer terrorists in a language understandable to them.
Glen Jenvey, a specialist on international terrorism, also claimed that al-Qaeda has copied most of its terror tactics from the LTTE. He highlighted the LTTE as the mastermind that set the pattern for organizations like al-Qaeda to pursue. Some of the comparisons he used to draw his conclusions are the LTTE invented the modern suicide bomber and deployed it against political, military, and civilian targets. The LTTE continuously attacked shipping off the coast of Sri Lanka by blowing ships up and by acts of piracy. Attacks on the USS Cole off Yemen and piracy off the coast of Somalia, a stronghold for al-Qaeda followers, possibly copied the LTTE tactics. The LTTE's use of a women's section has being copied by Chechen terrorists, for example the Black Widows" who played a role in the Moscow theatre hostage crisis. Attacks on civilians in buses and trains in Sri Lanka are similar to the al-Qaeda attacks on public civilian transport during the July 2005 bombings in London.
The Australian Federal Police alleged that the men have provided significant funds as well as electronic and marine equipment to the Tamil Tigers since July 2002. Commenting on the possibility of the LTTE engaging in other similar incidents, Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe onetime said We are concerned that sort of thing is taken place in Australia, that Australian citizens are being duped into making contributions to what they believe to be honest fundraising activities in terms of relief for people in distress". We all know that the people who are leaving Sri Lanka from Tamil Tiger controlled areas pay some hundred dollars as a forced contribution to the LTTE.
The U.S. Department of State banned the LTTE as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (TRO) in October 1997, and in November 2001, named the LTTE a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224. Despite such action, the front organizations continued their activities unhindered and reportedly collected large sums of money following the December 2004 Tsunami. A press release issued by the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, said, The TRO's efforts worldwide reportedly have allowed the LTTE to use humanitarian aid, which TRO collected for the international community after the December 2004 Tsunami, to launch new campaigns to strengthen LTTE military capacity."
Clearly without hesitation and in principle, that the barbaric practice of terrorism—deliberately threaten the innocent unarmed civilians to achieve political, ideological, or material gain—must be abolished through the concerted efforts of all peaceful nations. Organizations such as LTTE had established a worldwide network of operatives, with links to other terrorist organizations to provide mutual support and assistance. This network has developed links with organized crime, drug trafficking, state sponsors, and companies and corporations sympathetic to its causes. Therefore, the fight against terrorism requires a multidimensional approach aimed at the entire spectrum of terrorism.
Neither an academic nor an international legal consensus as to what 'terrorism' means is available. However, it could be the use of violence irrespective of the context in which it occurs. Because of many divergences that have made it impossible to conclude a convention on international terrorism in order for a single, all-encompassing, legally binding definition, some terrorist allied groups are hiding behind the term of 'rebels'. Even the BBC has been naming LTTE as a rebel organization. In whatever form it takes, it goes onto include the circumstances that are unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them. So, it is all about social devastation including loss of innocent lives. The price the Sri Lankans paid for LTTE's dream of Ealam exceeded one hundred thousand lives with an economic cost of nearly US$ 300 billion. More than that, it is a drop by 30 years in the country's development.
Rather than trying to find who and who are responsible for what and when, time has come to find ways not to repeat the most terrible moments of the nation. One such effective measures and perhaps a must is to identify supporting arms of terrorism that has been geographically dispersed and largely involved in money laundering, propaganda, and more tenderly in large scale brainwash. One such rendezvous is the Europe where 'sympathizees' have been a source of nuisance to local governance such as for example David Cameron. Since knowingly financing, planning and inciting terrorist acts have been already declared to be contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations, it is important to understand that any individual or entity who acts for, or on behalf of terrorist organizations, in the name of 'liberation' is still terrorism. It is therefore an obligation of the member countries to institute actions under the numerous UN conventions on terrorism. Doing so also casts on countries the obligation to implement these provisions equally, to all terrorist entities across the globe.
What is forgotten is that the Europe is advocating a nation that battled and defeated the most horrible ruthless terrorist movement in the World for thirty years when some of the Western nations including the United States plunged Sri Lanka to open dialogues that U.S. never compromised in the process of dealing with terrorism. LTTE terrorism lasted 3 decades with none of the foreign recipes for peace delivering any peace to the nation. 30 years of failure to deliver peace for Sri Lanka is what should haunt the international community. For it was only after going through daily terror deaths, bombs and killings that a Just War was declared and LTTE was militarily defeated after offering them the opportunity to surrender. While more Germans died after World War 2 ended and Germany was occupied for over 10 years after the wars conclusion, close to 300,000 Tamil civilians were saved more than 11,770 LTTE combatants handed themselves in and are all accounted for, many of them were child combatants. None of them died, were tortured, starved, ill treated or killed (as German POWs and German civilians were) but went through an indigenous rehabilitation program and are now leading normal lives.
One final message! Terrorism that takes various shapes is a global challenge that no State can ignore in the misguided notion that it is somebody else's problem. Also, no one should not be deceived in semantic debates on either the justifications offered by so-called liberal movements which act on behalf of terrorist organizations. If any State to succeed in coping with the terrorist menace, it must necessarily have to stay ahead of the terrorists in terms of intelligence, technology and criminal justice. More than anyone else, the entire Europe must carefully reassess the security levels and take a decision whether to flourish or perish. The biggest lesson the Europe to learn is if a camel gets his nose in a tent, its body will follow.

Follow Mahinda Rajapaksa's theory. Vanquished extremism from the earth. Do not pity terrorists or their sympathisers. Search, find and punish never to return. Hero to western cockroaches and Indian parasites their Idol Prabakaran is no more because of our President's brave decisions on terrorism. So follow him and get rid of them without crying or talking tough. Because of your stupid democracy innocent people die unnecessarily every day. Act with an iron fist like our 🦁 lion.
Kumari Says:
Terrorism and Human Right Cries are the creation of the West. If Theresa May hadn't declared elections there won't be any terrorist related incidents in the UK at the present time. The EU and the West are famous in regime changes the world over. EU cannot accept the fact that the British voted to be independent (ie leave the EU). They waited for the opportunity of May calling for elections.
Watch this video where Putin explains who created ISIS. "Putin Tells Everyone Exactly Who Created ISIS".

When Rajapakse or Duterte fight for the Rights of their citizens, it is a HR violation. Unashamed Miliband came to SL to save terrorist Prabhakaran in the guise of HR. What double standards.
If Rajapakse did not finish terrorism from SL, he will not have any ICC or Hora accusations.
RohanJay Says:
@Ranjit, Its not Mahinda Rajapaksha who ended terrorism. Its the armed forces of the Sri Lankan military that ended terrorism. The Sri Lankan Military always knew decivive proper well carried military action against terrorists are the only way to defeat them. Don't forget the Sri Lankan armed forces almost defeated terrorism in 1987.
Mahinda Rajapaksha and his brother gota are just two sensible blokes who came along and was fortunately elected in 2005, who finally agreed with the Sri lankan military only way to defeat terrorism is militarily. Then MR and Gota provided all the support the including major recruitment drives and many joined as most people in Sri Lanka at the time agreed with the military that a military solution to terrorism is the only way to defeat them, upgraded and review the military strategy and tactics and came up with creative ways to defeat the LTTE. In the end it worked when the terrorists were defeated on that historic day May 19 2009.
All credit should go to the men and women of Sri Lanka's armed forces. Some credit should go to MR and gota for providing the necessary political backing and protection for the military to carry its job it was trained for. Sri Lanka armed forces proved to be a very effective fighting force and comprehensively defeated the terrorists within 3 and half years after military operations against them resumed this time to a definite and happy conclusion for Sri Lanka on May 19 2009. Sri lanka since has enjoyed much peace and stability since May 19 2009 while the whole western world is being wracked by Radical Islamic extremist terrorism as the London attacks recently proved. There was also a Islamic extremist terrorist incident in Melbourne Australia this morning involving the Australian police officers in a shoot out. This brutal terrorism has even reached stable,prosperous and peaceful Australia. American,Aussies and Brits can learn a lot on how Sri Lanka successfully tackled and defeated terrorism. Despite the Sri lankan electorate wrong headed deicision to vote in Maithipala Sirisena in 2015. Sri Lanka on the whole has enjoyed much peace and stability since May 19 2009 while the opposite is happening in the west right now.

"It is time to say enough is enough," the Conservative leader said.
Surely British politicians cannot say one thing to Sri Lanka and do another thing at home. We say the British Prime Minister must acknowledge London bridge and other European bombers as freedom fighters and sit down with them for peace talks.

Wednesday, January 14, 1998 by Dave Winer.
We've reached one of the milestones in our exploration of XML.
The panacea that cures all compatibility ills.
It's the stuff that true geeks and investment bankers agree on.


It's not a question whether you should adapt your business to the mobile devices, it's a question of HOW you are going to do it. There are several options.
We previously wrote a blog post on how mobile applications are done (in Finnish) from a more technical perspective, but what it means in practice and how your organisation can benefit from it?
At Appliware, our current focus is highly related to mobile applications and we are trying to help our customers understand the opportunities around mobile platforms.
Obviously, investing in a mobile service can be a costly thing, therefore it's necessary to list all the reasons why you are building the app. Does your business goal require users to frequently come back to your service? Do you need to communicate with your users on daily basis? Would this application make their life easier and the customer service smoother? These are only some of the common question every service should consider.
For instance here in Finland, gyms offer great amount of different classes and group exercises for their members. However, there is very little of personal communication between the gym and the user, since their existing platforms give as many options as a basic Google or iOS calendar.
From the other side, some business goals can be achieved with a responsive site. The main question is whether our ideas require native features to be implemented.
Having been part of several projects that prove this, I can tell with high confidence, businesses all around us have explored just a tiny part of the possibilities in the world of mobile. And that's why these times are so exciting for us as a company.
We have seen that mobile applications can improve internal processes significantly. When organisations used to spend several hours a day to finish certain task, now with a mobile device and app the same job can be done in less than 10 minutes. Productivity is rising and employees are focusing on other things instead.
What could be the reasons to build a native mobile application?
Apps are often personal and remember user profiles. It means users can go back to it anytime. This is a great reason why native applications create better engagement than other.
If your service already has users/customers, it's time to take their experience to another level. Customer loyalty is as important as new customer acquisition because a loyal customer can refer your product or service to many other potential prospects.
We implemented this feature for our client Ateriat. The location service is handy for instance when users are looking for the closest lunch restaurants.
Camera and other device related built-in features are sometimes necessary to achieve a certain outcome. We created an Android app for a client to let them scan barcodes and take photos of products within the app for quality assurance purposes. The photos are saved immediately to the cloud. This could not be achieved with a web application.
Push notifications are the best tool to keep users informed about your service in real time. One example could be the gym I mentioned earlier. It would be great to let users book classes through their mobile app and inform them on the upcoming classes so they don't forget.
When will a mobile friendly web app do the job? Below are some advantages of web applications.
Web applications are platform independent. They work on iOS, Android and Windows including all browsers and all screen sizes.
Discoverable by search engines. Even though, you can't be cool and say "download our app from the app store". However, before purchasing, customers are doing their research on the internet, so being found is as crucial. Google has recently been supporting an initiative called Amp Project which is a mobile accelerator for websites. It speeds up your page up to 10x, making it more enjoyable for your customers.
Easier and quicker to develop. From a technical point of view, web applications are simpler to make and often more cost effective.
Most web applications and websites can be customised to work well on every screen size and platform possible (responsive web).
The year 2016 was definitely a year when bots got smarter. There are endless opportunities around the idea of bots. Namely, it's amazing how Facebook chat and bots can be used to create app inside an app. A great example is KLM's bot that perfectly well replaces a whole native app. Check it out from Youtube or KLM's website.
Finally, when choosing your platform, think mostly about your business requirements. What are the most important features you want your users to enjoy and that will guide you to the best possible platform for your business.

Heir Apparents, Part Two
As promised over the weekend, part two of the "Informed Speculation" about the likeliest successors for each American League managerial post where the incumbent to vanish tomorrow. As I offered in the NL version a few posts down, the breakdown of where the 30 current skippers came from, offers the speculator little hope he's right:
Managers promoted from own AAA team 0
Managers promoted from coaches 6
Managers already working in organization 5
Hires directly from other organizations 19
That makes identifying those heir apparents a dicey game. Nevertheless:
BALTIMORE: The Orioles believe Brad Komminsk, managing for them at Bowie, is one of the minors' top prospects. Fans of the 1983-87 Braves will find this more than a little ironic, since they considered him one of the minors' top prospects as an outfielder. Interestingly, the other guy in the NL thought to be in Komminsk's class in the same era? Billy Beane of the Mets, better known as Mr. Moneyball. For outside hires the O's are said to like Phil Garner.
BOSTON: An interesting question now that Brad Mills has moved on. Before Joe Girardi got the Yankee job, there was a brief whiff of a rumor that Boston pitching coach John Farrell was a candidate there. Between his rapport with the staff and his front office experience, he would seem a likely managerial prospect. Tim Bogar is also highly regarded.
CHICAGO: Joey Cora. Like Oquendo in St. Louis, this is only if somebody else doesn't get him first.
CLEVELAND: I thought Sandy Alomar (Junior) would be a big league manager back when he was the potent catcher for the Tribe, and I still think so. No change is anywhere near imminent – they like Manny Acta's style.
DETROIT: Oddly given Jim Leyland's approaching 25th anniversary of taking over the Bucs, I don't hear a lot about this. Two men who succeeded him in Pittsburgh, Gene Lamont and Lloyd McClendon, would be obvious choices.
KANSAS CITY: John Gibbons. Hiring a recently dismissed, no-nonsense ex-manager as your bench coach, is the standard process for anointing an heir apparent.
LOS ANGELES: Having already spun off one top manager (Joe Maddon), Mike Scioscia might have another one or two. Ron Roenicke is the bench coach, and Dino Ebel has a ton of minor league managerial experience.
MINNESOTA: Since the Twins hired Gene Mauch in the off-season of 1975-76, only once have they looked outside the organization. In fact, only once have they not looked to their own coaching staff – and even then they hired a coach (Ray Miller from the Orioles, in mid-season 1985). Johnny Goryl, Billy Gardner, Tom Kelly, Ron Gardenhire, and who? This would point us at Scott Ullger.
NEW YORK: Another one not likely to be soon addressed. Third base coach Rob Thomson seems too low-key, bench coach Tony Pena too peripheral. They do think highly of ex-Reds' skipper Dave Miley, who has produced two firsts in four years managing at AAA. Could there be a Don Mattingly reunion? Only if they ask him – before the Dodgers do.
OAKLAND, SEATTLE: No earthly clue.
TAMPA BAY: Could easily be bench coach Dave Martinez. New hitting coach Derek Shelton was a helluva managing prospect in the Yankees' system.
TEXAS: See the entry for Kansas City above. Clint Hurdle has "Clint Hurdle will replace Ron Washington for at least the rest of the season, Nolan Ryan said," written all over him.
TORONTO: Nobody's said anything formally but it's Brian Butterfield. He's been training for this since switching from minor league player to instructor in 1984, but he's still only 52. Unless the Jays feel some burning need for a name to succeed Cito Gaston, or the desire to bring in a 1993 Toronto great like Alfredo Griffin or Huck Flener, it's Butterfield. The other prospect in this system, though just a year and a month away from the active roster, is Sal Fasano.

It will be Tom Brookens in Detroit, the organization has all but said so. He's a former Tiger, a former scrappy utility guy like so many managers who aren't former catchers, he coached and managed his way up through the minors, which Leyland respects, and now he's the first base coach in Detroit.

Brad Komminsk?!? Man, he was the great hope for the Braves there for a while when I was a kid. I had no idea he was still in baseball. Thanks for the update!

I have done some soldering over the course of my relearning how to make, but I didn't do so deliberately or with really decent instruction.
Covers all the basics, and I learned a fair amount from it. It is a super simple explanation of what is actually happening, and how to get a decent solder joint. Probably the best and simplest video about the fundamentals that I have seen!

TBS Holding 'Binge-a-Thon' of Angie Tribeca Ahead of Premiere
NEXT:Facebook, ABC, And Kohls Team Up For 'Oscar Challenge'
PREVIOUS:Scoreboard: Thursday, Jan. 14
Advertising/Marketing | Networks | Social TV
By Karen Fratti on Jan. 15, 2016 - 2:00 PM Comment
To launch their new show, Angie Tribeca, TBS is running a 25-hour "binge-a-thon" leading starting on Sunday night. The network will air all ten episodes, commercial free.
It's like giving fans the Netflix effect. But bigger. All episodes will be available on-demand on via the TBS site and app when the binge begins. On January 25th, the show will air in a weekly format, but TBS is even projecting the show on screens in Times Square, New York. "The goal is to have it everywhere," Brett Weitz, executive vice president for original programming at TBS told Lost Remote.
Weitz says they wanted Angie Tribeca, which stars Rashida Jones and is produced by Nancy and Steve Carell, to stand out from the "clutter" of the current TV landscape. Weitz says,
We felt we needed to do something different and audacious…More and more people have adopted a binge habit of viewing their shows so it felt only natural to give them the content in the way that would make their consuming experience most enjoyable.
Also, it's kind of a joke. "The tone of this show has always been that it's the most self-serious, and important, cop show to ever exist. Thus it must have a 25 hour marathon because clearly 24 hours wouldn't be enough," Weitzs says. Get it?
They're also running social events around the binge-a-thon. On Facebook and Twitter they'll be using #TribecaBinge to gather fans. They'll be circulating custom video content and incorporating fans' profile pictures into promo videos. Missy Chambliss, vice president of marketing for TBS and TNT says that they've already seen the emergence of "engaged and passionate super fans" across social channels.
So they've decided to connect with them directly and send "binge boxes," packed with supplies to get through the 25-hour period. Chambliss says they connected via direct message with fans and that the "binge boxes are already en route to superfans so they'll receive their binge boxes this week and have everything they need in time to watch."
The boxes will be filled with gift cards, a blanket, eye drops, and other "zany gifts" to help them power through.
TBS is really pulling out all the stops to make sure Angie Tribeca has a tribe. The binge begins at 9 p.m. ET on Jan. 17 if you want to see how it's working.

Survey Finds Manufacturers Lag in Modernization Despite Surge of Pandemic-Driven Investments
Lack of Digital Maturity in U.S., U.K. Manufacturing Remains Serious Roadblock to Productivity
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. – May 11, 2022 – iBASEt, the company that simplifies how complex products are built and maintained, today announced results of an original survey of more than 400 manufacturing executives in the U.S and U.K., which found that manufacturers are lagging in digital transformation efforts in spite of earlier pandemic-driven investments in new technologies.
Respondents confirmed that although Industry 4.0 advancements were critical to sustaining operations during shutdowns, most manufacturers today in the U.S. and U.K. still grapple with a lack of system and process maturity that prevents them from leveraging operational data for business intelligence and smarter decision-making.
Case in point, nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents invested in new technologies during the pandemic, and 98% saw increased productivity. However, fewer than half of respondents (44%) said that this modernization was providing them with additional actionable data, and 19% are not harnessing any data insights at all.
"As the volume of manufacturing data continues to explode, it's critical that manufacturers modernize their systems and technologies to make use of critical data for business intelligence and more informed decision making," said Naveen Poonian, CEO of iBASEt. "The ability to not just embrace Industry 4.0 at stage one, but to then convert critical data into actionable improvements is pivotal to a true digital transformation."
The survey found that although a majority of manufacturers embrace cloud transformation enthusiastically, few have made the full transition. A full 88% of respondents indicated they are increasing their investment in cloud technologies over the next 12 months, but only 21% are currently completely transitioned to the cloud.
Two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe this accelerated move to the cloud will unlock benefits that help drive operational efficiency. Only 8% have "no plans" to use cloud infrastructure as part of manufacturing operations.
Other Key findings:
According to the survey, 95% of total respondents still use paper-based processes, and more than a quarter (27%) use paper for more than half of all activities.
Nearly all survey respondents (98%) indicate that they continue to use manual spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel, even while taking steps toward digital transformation. In fact, half (50%) of respondents say they use these tools for "the majority" of processes.
Almost half (47%) in the U.S. strongly agreed that many US discrete manufacturers could cease to exist in the next 10 years unless action is taken.
Download an executive summary of the survey results.
iBASEt's independent research was conducted in March 2022 across the UK and US. In total, 403 manufacturers (from the aerospace & defence, medical device, industrial equipment, electronics and shipbuilding sectors) provided feedback – 201 from the UK and 202 from the US.
