Abstract and Keywords
Female genital mutilation (FGM) has been portrayed in the literature as an inhumane practice and a form of human rights abuse. Young women and girls who undergo FGM are subjected to the risk of developing infections as well as gynecological and psychological complications. Where severe bleeding occurs, the risk of death is imminent. Although FGM has been decried as an unnecessary and harmful ritual, it continues to be practiced in many parts of Africa, some parts of Asia, and the Middle East. Beliefs about the benefits of FGM are deeply entrenched in tradition and culture, making it a difficult practice to eradicate. This entry aims to portray the cultural embeddedness of FGM as the main factor in preventing its eradication. The information reviewed in this entry can be used to provide a framework for social workers to understand personal and societal reasons for FGM. Furthermore, this entry provides information that could be used to guide social workers in formulating culturally appropriate interventions with FGM practicing communities.
Keywords: Female genital mutilation, female circumcision, rite of passage, cultural practices

(Pocket-lint) - Sony has updated several of its compact digital cameras at the start of CES on Monday, as it continues to try to stay at the forefront of the digital imaging world.
At the top of the pile is the DSLR-style Cyber-shot H200 that will cost $249 when it comes out later in the month. The new camera will sport a 21-megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor with a whopping 26x optical zoom (22.3-580mm) and be powered by just a couple of AA batteries; 720p movie recording completes the package.
Those looking for something a lot more compact can get the Cyber-shot WX80, a 16.2-megapixel sensor, 8x optical zoom camera with Wi-Fi capabilities so you can share your pictures easily to Sony's PlayMemories service, for example.
Aside from the camera's core hardware you'll get full-HD movie shooting, an Improved Superior Auto mode that changes the scene setting according to what you are pointing the camera at and up to 10fps burst mode. Sony has also updated its Sweep Panorama mode.
If you need something a little tougher, there is the waterproof Cyber-shot TF1 that comes with a 16.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor and a 4x optical zoom.
Costing $199 and available this month (no UK pricing as yet) the camera will let you go to 10m underwater - 3m less than the new tough camera from Panasonic - as well as offering the usual array of dust, shock and freeze-proofing. Action fans will get only 720p video recording, but you do get Sweep Panorama for your efforts.
The Sony Cyber-shot W720 comes in cheaper still. Priced at $139 the 8x optical zoom camera will come with the same sensor as the TF1, alongside the same movie recording features. Think of its as a TF1 but without the toughness.
If your budget is really tight, there is the Cyber-shot W710 another 16.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor camera with a 5x optical zoom which will cost $99 when it comes out in January.

Walsall, October 9th 2011
"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration of love for the history of our band.
Two score and five years ago, four members of a great band, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, joined together in ear'holy catastrophe. This momentous union came as a great beacon of hope to millions of fun loving rockers. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of dreary anticipation.
But forty five years later, the Slade fan still is not acknowledged. Forty five years later, the life of the Slade fan is still sadly crippled by the manacles of copyright and the chains of corporate oppression. Forty five years later, the Slade fan lives on a lonely island of obscurity in the midst of a vast ocean of commercial prosperity. Forty five years later, the Slade fan still languishes in the corner of the Pop music society and finds himself an exile in his own world. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our institution to cash a cheque. Be it Inspiration, Innovation, Outstanding Contribution or even Living Legend. It is obvious today, insofar as bands of colour are concerned, that Rock & Roll has defaulted on this promissory note. Instead of honouring this sacred obligation, Rock & Roll has given the Slade fan a bad cheque, a cheque which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the Bank of Rock & Roll is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this institution. And so, we've come to cash this cheque, a cheque that will give us upon demand, the riches of video and the security of acknowledgement.
We have also come to this hallowed forum to remind Rock & Roll of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of complacency or to take the tranquillising drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of induction. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of ridicule to the sunlit path of international recognition. Now is the time to lift our institution from the quicksand's of apathy to the solid rock of unity. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of Rock Music's brethren.
It would be fatal for the institution to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Slade fan's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of recognition and equality. Two Thousand and Eleven is not an end, but a beginning. And those who think that the Slade fan needs to blow off steam and will now be content, will have a rude awakening if the institution returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor respite in Rock & Roll until the Slade fan is granted his honorary rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our institution until the bright day of homage emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold that leads into the Hall of Fame: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for recognition by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into verbal abuse. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting negativity with perseverance.
The marvellous new militancy which has engulfed the Slade fan community must not lead us to a distrust of all corporate people, for many of our corporate brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their recognition is inextricably bound to our recognition.
We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of Slade, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Slade fan is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of apathy and ridicule. We can never be satisfied as long as our band, laden with a vast catalogue of music, are remembered for just two songs. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Slade fan's basic novelty is moved from amusing sartorial elegance to a seasonal refrain.
We can never be satisfied as long as our band are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity because of mistakes made by the spin-doctors. We cannot be satisfied as long as our group are sullied by the media for the length of their hair or the cut of their clothes.
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until the world acknowledges, "Slade are for life NOT just for Xmas."
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here today out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come from areas where your quest – a quest for recognition that left you battered by the storms of legal persecution. You have been the veterans of creative suffering.
Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Wolverhampton, go back to Birmingham, go back to Essex, go back to the archives and libraries of our Midland cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Rock & Roll dream.
I have a dream that one day this institution will rise up and live out the true meaning of its criteria. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all groups are created equal.
I have a dream that, one day in the hallowed pages of Classic Rock magazine, the members of former inductees and the members of Slade will be able to sit down together at the table in agreement.
I have a dream that one day even the continent of America, a country basking in the glow of apathy, sweltering with the heat of cynicism, will be transformed into an oasis of recognition and acknowledgement.
I have a dream that our four band members will one day live in a institution where they will not be judged by the colour of their clothes but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Ohio, with its vacuous record company heads, with its vice-chairman having his head spinning with the words of "nomination" and "evaluation" -- one day right there in Cleveland glitter rock victims and glam rock veterans will be able to join hands with conformists and corporate suits as brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Jim Lea & Don Powell will be exalted, the glitter wiped away, the music appreciated, the faux pas' forgotten and the glory of the band shall be revealed and all men shall see it together.
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go to the Midlands with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our institution into a beautiful symphony of agreement. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to play together, to struggle together, to stand up for recognition together, knowing that we will be acknowledged one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of Slade's fans will be able to sing with new meaning:
See us here
See us there
Pick us out anywhere
Take a look
We're everywhere
So what makes you
Stop and stare
And if Rock & Roll is to be a great institution, this must become true.
And so, let recognition ring from the all the bands that were influenced by them.
Let recognition ring from New York's Twisted Sister.
Let recognition ring from Detroit's Alice Cooper.
Let recognition ring from Gene Simmons and Kiss.
Let recognition ring from Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne.
But not only that:
Let recognition ring from Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant.
Let recognition ring from Roger Daltrey, Paul McCartney and Bob Geldof.
Let recognition ring from Europe and Asia and Australia.
From every nation, let recognition ring.
And when this happens, when there is recognition, when we let it ring from every village and every city, from every country and every continent, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Rock's devotee's, old men and young men, musicians, fans and critics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Slade fan spiritual:
Well all right everybody!
Let your hair down...."
9th October 1969 was the first reported incidence of 'Slade' in the Wolverhampton Express & Star.

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Former Vice President Al Gore criticized John McCain, the Republican candidate for president, on Thursday, playing on his reputation as an environmental activist.
Former Vice President Al Gore says Obama will provide the necessary change to stop the climate crisis.
"McCain ... is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue them, the same policies -- those policies -- all over again," Gore said. "Hey, I believe in recycling, but that's ridiculous."
The former vice president invoked the bitterly disputed 2000 presidential election to argue that Americans should elect Barack Obama in November.
"Eight years ago, some said there was not much difference between the nominees of the two major parties and it didn't really matter who became president," he told delegates at the Democratic National Convention.
"But here we all are in 2008, and I doubt anyone would argue now that election didn't matter," he said.
Gore lost to George W. Bush in the most controversial election in a century, beating him in the popular vote but losing the race in the Electoral College when the Supreme Court stopped a recount in Florida.
He drove home an argument many Democrats have made this week in Denver.
"With John McCain's support, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have led our nation into one calamity after another because of their indifference to fact, their readiness to sacrifice the long-term to the short-term, subordinate the general good to the benefit of the few and short-circuit the rule of law.
"If you like the Bush/Cheney approach, John McCain's your man. If you believe it's time for a change, then vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden" for president and vice president, Gore said.
Gore said the election was close because "the forces of the status quo are desperately afraid of the change Barack Obama represents."
He said the Republican Party had "browbeaten" McCain into "abandoning his support of mandatory caps on global warming pollution." Watch Gore describe why he thinks race is close »
He said "special interests" controlled the Bush administration and that the United States needed "a change from the approach of Bush, Cheney and McCain."
He accused them of "wreck[ing] the economy," "abandon[ing] the search for the terrorists who attacked us" and abandoning the principle "first laid down by General George Washington," barring the torture of captives "because it would bring, in his words, 'shame, disgrace and ruin' to our nation."
Gore compared Obama to Abraham Lincoln, "now regarded by most historians as our greatest president."
"Before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln's experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Illinois and one term in Congress," Gore said, an effort to rebut those who say Obama does not have enough experience to be president.
Lincoln "was known chiefly as a clear thinker and a great orator with a passion for justice and a determination to heal the deep divisions of our land," Gore said.
"In 2008, once again, we find ourselves at the end of an era with a mandate from history to launch another new beginning. And once again, we have a candidate whose experience perfectly matches an extraordinary moment of transition."

Holy Torpedo! Bomb Scare Evacuates Whiting Community
The discovery of a 25 pound artillery round in a foreclosed mobile home in Manchester causes a bomb scare at the Pine Ridge Mobile Home Park.
Township Police say the object was found by a cleaning crew in the unit on Woodchuck Parkway in the Whiting section but it didn't stop there. The cleaning crew brought the 18 to 20 inch long item that resembled a military bomb to the Pine Ridge's main office on Fox Street.
Manchester Police were notified and they along with the Whiting Fire company evacuated approximately 20 mobile home residence as a precaution. Police say the Air Force Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit from Fort Dix were called in and determined the object to be a 25 pound practice bomb used as a military training aid for pilots.
Staff Sergeant Burnash removed the practice bomb and took it for proper disposal. Residents were allowed to re-enter an hour later.

WASHINGTON (AP) Stephen Lumpkins scored 22 points as American University pulled away in the final five minutes for a 61-51 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.) in a nonconference game Saturday.
Tony Wroblicky scored three layups in a span of less than two minutes to help the Patriots (3-4) take a 55-51 lead with 2:11 to play. Daniel Munoz made four free throws in the final 49 seconds to help American stay in front and end a three-game losing streak.

City tackles restrooms: but can't flush Trailways sign
Bus station bathrooms have never had a good reputation and usually are the kinds of places mothers don't want their children to go into alone. But if all goes well, scuzzy toilets will be a thing of the past at the local bus depot.
Plans are afoot for the City of Charlottesville to renovate the aging Greyhound-owned bus station on West Market Street and– in what it denies is an unusual turn for a government agency– to act as ticket agents for Greyhound.
"What we're doing is taking over the management of the local station," says city transit manager Helen Poore. "This is happening all over the country and has been done in Fredericksburg and Lynchburg."
So why is the city fixing up a corporate-owned building?
"There is no city money being funneled into this," insists Mike Mollica in facilities management. No city money indeed, but a $218,000 federal grant will be used to add three offices and a conference room on the front of the building, put in new ceilings and lights, paint, and install handicapped-accessible restrooms. "The restrooms there are pretty bad, pretty rough," he notes.
Poore says there's nothing weird about using public money to fix a private building. Locally, she notes, a $763,000 federal grant helped renovate developer Gabe Silverman's Amtrak station complex.
After the final agreement with Greyhound is signed in January, the plan is for Charlottesville Transit System's marketing employees to occupy the new offices in the bus station. Poore expects the city to recover the cost of the grant in savings on rent because those employees now work in leased space at the Downtown Visitors Center. And, as agent for Greyhound, the city will collect a percentage from each ticket sold.
Another advantage of the Greyhound deal, says Poore, is that the improved station will be a much more welcoming gateway for people coming into the city by bus. "The interior of the station will be more attractive for people who enter or leave the city using public transportation." And don't forget the new bathrooms.
Also, Poore mentions the trend toward something called a "multimodal" system, which means connecting from one form of public transportation to another– in this case, from a Greyhound bus to a city bus. "There will be the opportunity for joint marketing," she says.
Some cities have moved their bus stations out of the city center entirely. Poore doesn't believe that's a good idea. "It's important to continue to maintain it there [on West Main] to be available to the core ridership," she says.
One curiosity of the local bus station is the big Trailways sign out front even though Greyhound owns the terminal. "We own Carolina Trailways, a regional intercity bus company," says Greyhound spokeswoman Kim Plaskett. Still, she couldn't quite explain why a Trailways sign would still adorn the front of a Greyhound station.
Actually, the station once was a Trailways station. Sam Jessup started Virginia Stagelines Inc. in the early part of the 20th century, according to a former employee. That became part of National Trailways, and the franchise was sold, probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s, to Continental Trailways. Greyhound purchased Trailways in 1987.
Then why was the Trailways sign never removed?
That's something the bus company would like to remedy.
"We've asked them to take the sign down," says Mollica. "They say it has historic value and that people associate it with buses, that it's good advertising."

Method recently helped launch TeachingChannel.org, a platform for building inspired, engaged, and effective classrooms. Creating a community-based video platform for K-12 teachers is a very specific task. However, we discovered many useful lessons about establishing strong communities, enabling content discovery, and effectively delivering video along the way.
One of the main challenges we were faced with for designing TeachingChannel.org is a common question now: how can we facilitate effortless discovery of content that is still relevant, useful, and inspiring? As video increasingly becomes consumed (and preferred) online, video discovery and delivery best practices are still being defined.
To address this, Method began by conducting interviews with the core user base: teachers.
Take time to talk with potential users and understand their needs
Critical to the success of a project is a full understanding of the needs, motivators, and pain points of users. By interviewing, brainstorming, and collaborating with education professionals, we were able to thoroughly understand the deeper needs, patterns, and beliefs of users. Taking the time to do so is essential to shaping the experience; not only does this extra step validate assumptions and designs, it gives insight into which design decisions will make the product a valuable and influential resource.
With Teaching Channel, we soon discovered that teachers wanted this platform to not only be a trustworthy and consistently useful resource, but it also had to instill pride in the profession. This finding was immense; beyond helping the users find useful content, this called for a focus on enabling teachers to get support and inspiration from their peers.
For a content-heavy site, the primary search model should be questioned and rethought to best surface content for the user
Tackling the challenge of facilitating discovery of relevant videos required a different search mechanism than conventional keyword search. Instead, we needed to create opportunities for serendipitous discovery of useful content. These unexpected, "happy accidents" allow users to uncover content that is useful and inspiring.
The solution for Teaching Channel was faceted browsing, which allows for simultaneous finding and browsing of content. Users can filter through tags and keywords to discover content quickly that is relevant, but do not need to limit themselves to specific keywords.
Identify key features or functionality that differentiate the core product and tailor it for users
Video is the heart of the Teaching Channel experience. This key experience had to be designed specifically for the audience; for many, this would be the first and primary site experience. As such, video had to work harder for the users and the community at large.
For Teaching Channel, Method designed a Notebook feature, allowing users to attach notes to videos as they watch, which can then be shared with the community and saved as a personal marker. By allowing users to save notes and contribute to the video experience, the videos continue to enhance in value and usefulness.
Maintaining value and relevance requires an engaged community
Building a vibrant and engaged community is critical to sustaining a resource-driven site and maintaining its value. Motivators to encourage and maintain engagement help build consistent activity.
By heavily engaging with users in the beginning, Method had already personally cultivated a core set of users who would share feedback through Get Satisfaction, email, and discussion posts. The integration of a lightweight award system rewards members for participating both digitally and through real-world rewards. We implemented a simple badge system for site contributors to motivate users to continue to add their value to the site.
The lessons learned from creating TeachingChannel.org continue to earn gains for the organization. Teaching Channel has grown around 11,000% since opening the doors to the public in June 2011. Each month, TeachingChannel.org receives around 70,000 unique visitors, with consistent, rapid growth. Visitors are engaged, digging into an average of three pages and spending nearly four minutes on the site.

India's conglomerate Tata has added Boeing to its list of aerospace joint-venture partners. The subsidiary Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. and Boeing today said their new joint venture initially will create a "manufacturing center of excellence" to produce aerostructures for the AH-64 and to compete for additional manufacturing work other Boeing commercial and military platforms. (A long-term goal of the joint venture, Boeing said, is collaborative opportunities for developing and selling integrated systems.) Boeing and Tata agreed in July to collaborate on aerospace and defence manufacturing and integrated systems development. Tata already has a joint venture with Sikorsky Aircraft to build S-92 cabins and another with AgustaWestland to assemble AW119Kxs in Hyderabad. That joint venture, Indian Rotorcraft, was reported to have received approval last month from India's Foreign Investment Promotion Board to set the assembly line.

2013 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour - Leg 5
The Vintage Air Road Tour
They say everything is bigger in Texas and each year the Vintage Air Road Tour proves that statement is true. Rick Love from Vintage Air has developed quite a following with folks from the Lone Star State and beyond. Rick and Vintage Air owner Jack Chisenhall enjoy nothing more than hitting the trail with a group of fellow rodders and spending a week on the highway. This year Rick and Jack decided to go somewhere new and sights were set on Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and the Shades of the Past Street Rod Association's 31st Hot Rod Roundup. It was a popular decision as almost 60 vehicles were registered to take part in the tour.
The festivities got started on Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend at the traditional wienie roast and driver's get-together. Sales Manager George Packard gave everyone a look at what goes into the production of a Vintage Air product. Sunday morning we gathered back at the Vintage Air headquarters in San Antonio and headed north to Customs and Hot Rods of Andice, Texas. Texas is famous for its barbecue and hospitality and we got plenty of both at our stop in Andice.
It was then on to Waco, Texas, and the Dr. Pepper Museum. Dr. Pepper is the soda of choice for most southerners and we got an education on the history of this famous brand. Monday was Labor Day and we celebrated in the small Texas town of Ben Wheeler. This crossroads was on the verge of extinction until Brooks Gremmels and his wife, Rese, rode into town a few years ago, not on a horse but on a motorcycle and saved the day. The town is now filled with art galleries, craft shops, and is a music and cultural destination year round. From Ben Wheeler it was on to Shreveport, Louisiana, where we visited the Barksdale Global Power Museum and their amazing collection of American warplanes.
Tuesday we had a history lesson as we visited the Vicksburg National Military Park. This historic site was the location of one of the longest and hardest fought battles of the Civil War as both sides fought for control of the Mississippi River. The memorials in the park honor the soldiers who took part in this turning point of the war. Tuesday afternoon we headed east and arrived in Meridian, Mississippi, at Mike Goldman Customs just in time for dinner. The food was great and we got a chance to see the shop where Mike and Sherry Goldman and their crew have been turning out show-winning vehicles since 1990.
Wednesday morning we stopped in Alabaster, Alabama, for lunch at Tim and Cici Spencer's Buffalo Wild Wings. Lunch was courtesy of the Spencers and we passed the hat to raise money for the local Humane Society. It was a short drive to the Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum near Birmingham. We were all amazed at the size of the museum building itself and the number of vintage motorcycles on display. This is a place that any classic motorcycle enthusiast has to visit. Wednesday evening we were greeted by Angie and Alan Johnson at Johnson's Hot Rods. The folks at Johnson's had just returned from Bonneville Speed Week where they debuted a Studebaker-based land speed car that is as quick as it is beautiful. At dusk the crew at Johnson's pushed the Studebaker outside and fired it up to the delight of everyone in attendance.
Thursday morning we rolled on to Chattanooga, Tennessee. We were greeted at Coker Tire by Corky Coker. From Coker Tire it was a short walk across the street to Honest Charley Garage. Greg Cunningham and his team at Honest Charley were responsible for the construction of our fantastic 1951 Ford that led the Road Tour all summer. Greg walked us through the shop and talked about some of their current projects. Honest Charley Speed Shop is just around the corner and then it was back to Coker Tire for a look at their vintage car and motorcycle collection. We were treated to a great lunch before setting out on the three-hour drive to our final destination of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and the Shades of the Past SRA Hot Rod Roundup.
It was a fun two days at the Shades event. We had the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER tent set up in the middle of the participant parking area. The Hot Rod Roundup has become one of the premier events in the country. The high quality of vehicles in attendance, the size of the vendor area, and the treasures in the swap meet have all helped increase the popularity of this event every year. Saturday afternoon the Top 25 vehicles were on display and the Painless Performance Products STREET RODDER Top 100 was announced. The drawing for the Alloway Hot Rodsbuilt roadster and the huge 50/50 drawing kept everyone's interest until late Saturday afternoon.
It was a fantastic week on the Vintage Air Road Tour. Rick Love announced that the 2014 Vintage Air Tour will be heading to the 50th edition of the L.A. Roadster's Father's Day Show and Swap Meet. Details about that and all of the other 2014 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tours can be found at streetrodder.com. That is also where you will find expanded coverage of the 2013 Vintage Air Road Tour.

There is always a time when we've kicked back our chair and thought, "Heck yeah, I've just done an awesome job!". It could be writing an article, making client/customer interaction better, an awesome design or other piece of work where you know in your soul you've achieved something great.
I wanted to know what others classed as their most proud piece of work was to date and the reasons why. I'd love to hear about the work you're most proud of!
Zeldman – www.zeldman.com
Web standards. The phrase, the group, the education effort via A List Apart and Designing With Web Standards. We changed the web. We changed the world.
Clumsily pecked into a tiny picture of a keyboard.
Steven Snell – www.vandelaydesign.com
I would say that I'm most proud of the Vandelay Design Blog, not necessarily from a design perspective but just the overall results of the blog. When I started the blog I really knew nothing about blogging, so it's been an incredible growing experience. I'm excited about the community of readers that have chosen to subscribe to the blog, and I'm proud that I've been consistent with it for more than two years.
Jacob Cass – www.justcreativedesign.com
My blog would probably have to be my proudest achievement and has been my longest ongoing project. It's a great feeling to be able to do what you love for a living and my blog allows me to do this, all while having a readership that teaches and motivates me to do it better each day.
Matt Draper – www.identitygraphics.org
When I took a step back and really thought about it one piece kept jumping into my mind "Xycoon". I have never been able to put my finger on exactly why I like this piece so much. Perhaps because when I look at it even now 5 years later, I still would not change a thing about it. I doubt many of us can say that about to many of our pieces.
Adii – www.woothemes.com / www.adii.co.za
In terms of greatly influencing my online reputation, I think the Polaroid Redesign V2 (my project codename – see attached) propelled me into some kind of a spotlight. Beyond the positive feedback I got on the design, I was actually also featured on quite a few CSS galleries and whilst I now (slightly) cringe when looking at the design, I can still acknowledge the fact that it increased the speed in which I established my online branding.
I also later released the design (twice) as a free WP theme (see: WP-Polaroid V2 WordPress Theme ), which probably single-handedly sent about 250K unique visitors to my blog. The Polaroid Redesign V2 was also the first blog design that paid for itself in terms of the ads I sold, so it signaled a "first of many" trend for me.
Collis Ta'eed – www.envato.com
I'm most proud of the very original FlashDen.net site from back in 2006. It's not my best design or CSS work, and looking back it had a long way to go to becoming really usable, but I'm proud of it because it was the site that started Envato!
David Airey – www.davidairey.com
I'm most proud of my two blogs, the self-titled David Airey and Logo Design Love. I've learned a great deal from the people who visit, and the content helps potential clients to decide if I'm the right man for their design project. They're also the longest combined project I've worked on, approaching three years now.
Elliot Jay Stocks – www.elliotjaystocks.com
It's hard to pick one, but I think the 'Blue Flavor' poster I did for Blue Flavor was one of my favourite projects. I had loads of fun doing it and I was really pleased with the end result, as was the client. It was the kind of job I'd do for the pure enjoyment anyway, so it was great for it to actually be paid work! I got to do some drawing, mess around with a few cool typographic and textural treatments, and generally have a lot of fun mixing up illustration and design.
Lee Munroe – www.leemunroe.com
The Big Word Project [www.thebigwordproject.com]
I co-created this website while at University with Paddy Donnelly. It was a 'small' side project to help me research web apps and to try out Ruby on Rails (and to try and make a little bit of money). The Big Word Project we set about listing all the word of the dictionary and selling them for $1 per letter. By buying a word you linked it to your website of choice. First family and friends started buying words, then John Gruber mentioned it on his blog and that kicked off a hoard of bloggers buying words to their sites. The highlight was getting interviewed by Wired magazine. The website still survives today and has sold over 6,800 words.
Chris Spooner – http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk
My piece of work I'm most proud of has to be my site over at Blog.SpoonGraphics. I built it purely as an experiment to gain a feel for the world of blogging, and it soon started to take off and developed a good profile in the community. It has continued to develop and now has reached an amazing level of exposure, seeing huge traffic and subscriber stats. It has also built me a great profile against my name, bringing stacks of opportunities from interviews on various sites, appearances in magazines and even the odd book! With none of this never being expected it's definitely my most valuable achievement.
Andy Sowards – www.andysowards.com
My most prized piece of work so far is definitely my blog/portfolio site – http://www.andysowards.com . The reason for this is simply because it was my launching pad to what I am today, its my constant piece of ongoing work. It will never be perfect but with each revision (it was recently/currently redesigned and is now almost officially on version 2.0) it gets a little closer to what I want it to be.
I have had a LOT of fun working on it and in the process have learned so much about WordPress and its inner workings so that I can pass on that knowledge and value to my clients. Everytime I see it, I get a feeling of accomplishment, and am always thinking of ways I can improve it and bring more value to my readers/clients.
Jon Phillips – www.spyrestudios.com
For some reason I'm particularly proud of Design-Newz.com. It took me about 5 or 6 hours to design and code this site (much less than usual) I was feeling inspired and creative and just went ahead with this simple idea I had. I'm known for redesigning my sites all the time, but I haven't touched this one (except minor tweaks) since its launch and it's been online for a while now. This design has been stolen, copied, plagiarized, etc… many times! And that's probably why I'm proud of it.
Cindy Li – www.cindyli.com
Back in 1999 Star Wars Episode 1 came out. My coworker, Jonatha Caspian and I were discussing the costumes that year and I told her how I thought the Queen Amidala costume was beautiful. She suggested I create that. I told her I didn't even know how to sew. I believe I started that project in August. The first month I spent researching every photo I could get my hand on of the dress and gathering supplies. Jonatha taught me how to sew and I ended up creating that costume at night after work for another month. I would photo copy the embroidery on the front panel of the dress and enlarge it so I could draw the pattern in paint on the fabric. I had to think out of the box to create that costume for instance the bubbles at the bottom were plastic and I bought three Nerf footballs and spray painted them with transparent stained glass paint. I even added lights to the inside that were battery operated so they glowed at night. The headdress was made of cushion that is used in couches and carved for the shape then wrapped with hair extensions.
In 2001 when the Smithsonian museum hosted the Star Wars exhibit I wore it on the metro into the exhibit (they asked people to dress up on the first day). I had been in a car accident the week before so I wasn't moving that fast and I missed the group photo but I still had fun because tourists kept asking to take their photo with me (they thought I was part of the exhibit).
Now this costume sits on a mannequin and gets worn by various geeky friends when they come into my apartment and you can see it here.
Sam Brown – sam.brown.tc
The CV design I created for the Steve Stevenson Challenge (part of the Smashing Magazine article How To Create A Great Web Design CV and Résumé) is a piece I'm unusually proud of. It's not something you come to design very often, and it's not my preferred method of design but the work I put into this I am very happy with.
Not to mention the fantastic response it received, I've had many an email thanking me for releasing the template that has been downloaded thousands of times and most recently it has been licensed to be included in a new CV building application that is on the horizon. It might have been a spare time effort, but I am indeed very proud.
Oliver Ker – www.oliverker.com
What am I most proud of? This is probably a mixture of personal and 'work' related. I chose this piece of work as, number one, it is my Son which I am always proud of and all the new things he does every day (he is two years old now). And number two, it is a personal project that I really enjoyed working on, and it came out pretty much exactly how I envisaged it. Working on a computer everyday limits the time I get to pick up a pencil to work with.
David Perel – www.obox-design.com
First off is GTPlayground.com. It was the first of it's kind at the time and filled it's niche perfectly. It was also the first time I ventured into the CSS and Div world. On top of that I programmed the entire thing myself. Not a single plugin was used. Considering that my main focus has always been design I am still proud that I managed to create that beast.
Secondly, I am proud of what we did with From the Couch. That site took about 10hrs to create but has changed the way we do business online and offline. It has opened doors that we never knew needed opening and given us access to some pretty influential peeps in the web industry. I am proud that we got there first (daily web vlog) and never gave up. I am also pretty stoked with how the redesign came out
Matthew Smith – www.squaredeye.com
I would honestly say that I'm probably most proud of this design at this point (of those I can show) attached. The Matthew Henry Project.
Martin Bean – www.mcbwebdesign.co.uk
What piece of work am I most proud of? Probably one my latest pieces, a website for a family member's pub. It doesn't sound that fantastic and it may not be a website for a multimillion pound organisation, but it was still fun and rewarding to see the finished product launched.
Why is this project the one I'm most proud of? Good question. Maybe it's because being primarily a website developer, I normally don't get unleashed on designing a website from the very beginning. Maybe because it was a break from crafting away on the back-end of corporate websites. Or it may be because it was the first project in a long time where I got to see it out from the very beginning to the end, when the site was launched.
The website is fairly basic and not that complex, but I felt the way the site ended up looking and working was a success, especially when you consider it was designed and built over the course of a couple of days. The site is˜like many others˜powered by a bespoke content management system and features various modules for different types of content, such as news articles, upcoming events, a photo gallery and feedback form. There is also a few enhancements powered by jQuery, such as pop-up details on events and gallery images that adds a little sparkle to the finished product, which can be found at www.doga68.com.
Kyle Steed – www.kylesteed.com
My favorite piece of work, or the work I'm most proud of (to date), isn't just one piece but a collection of paintings I like to call the "inner beast" series. I completed these 6 paintings nearing the end of my military service in Japan in the summer of 2007. They reflect the inner struggles I (we) all go through in life. I like to think that we all have animal instincts. So instead of paintings some abstract colors or shapes to express emotion, I wanted to dress my emotions up and give them some character.
The reason I chose these as my favorite is because they are so personal and really the first official collection of anything I have done to date. I hope to complete more work like this in the future.
Chris Pirillo – http://chris.pirillo.com/
But don't look to me to tell you why – look to the reviews we've received over the years, especially this past weekend's event.
Thanks to everyone who got involved in the article, it is greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing about your own work and which pieces you're most proud of.

Inspired Asian-Southern Fare at Xiao Bao Biscuit in Charleston, SC
Once upon a time, I would have prefaced a piece on Charleston, South Carolina's much-discussed Xiao Bao Biscuit with a disclaimer acknowledging our regional preference for dishes like fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and buttermilk biscuits, and that the uninformed eater might not expect great things from an Asian comfort-food restaurant within walking distance of the ramparts where the residents of Charleston watched the first shots of the Civil War.
But as anyone who has traveled below the Mason-Dixon line over the past several years can testify, things have changed. And Xiao Bao Biscuit, serving an amalgam of dishes pulled willy-nilly from across Asia and tweaked considerably here in coastal South Carolina, exemplifies the best that the new South has to offer.
What's New On Serious Eats
Xiao Bao is the culmination of years of travel, research, and experimentation from husband-and-wife co-owners Josh Walker and Duolan Li. The couple left their New York City restaurant jobs for a seven-month, food-centric Asian honeymoon and then returned to Walker's home state of South Carolina. In 2011, they began to test their accumulated knowledge with a series of pop-up dinners.
In Charleston, a seaside town with a growing population of adventurous eaters, the tongue-searing flavors of the Mekong Delta and coastal Japan hit home. A trickle of interest in the duo's pop-up dinners grew into a full-fledged roar, pulling crowds who demanded that the Walker and Li go brick-and-mortar. And so they did, quickly, co-opting the crumbling walls and patchy paint job of an old gas station into a rustic space well suited to chef Walker's specialties.
These are dishes like the Okonomiyaki ($8), a lightly battered vegetable pancake made from shredded cabbage, kale, carrots, and scallion, and finished with a thin layer of char that contrasts nicely with the gentle funk underneath. A crosshatching of chili sauce and Japanese mayonnaise, plus a bright sprinkling of furikake seasoning, round out the diverse tastes and textures on the plate that several critics have already labeled Xiao Bao's signature dish.
Like their counterparts at other modernist Asian restaurants, Walker and his team do not shy away from powerful flavors. The Mapo Wings ($6) are slathered with a lip-tingling glaze radiating the flavors of salty broad bean paste and Sichuan peppercorn, while the Hong Shao Rou ($11), or braised pork belly, arrives at the table in a bowl of cloudy, umami-rich gravy. The Mapo Dofou ($12) is klieg-light assertive, its tart and fiery broth pocked with hunks of delicate tofu.
The menu has lighter dishes, too, that serve as comfort foods of a different sort during South Carolina's hottest months. Take the Bo Tai Chanh ($6), a plate of beef carpaccio dressed with mint, fish sauce, and strips of fresh watermelon. The pan-seared flounder in Xiao Bao's Cha Ca Hanoi ($17) emerges crisp from a fragrant, dill-infused broth. And the Som Tam ($6), a heap of green papaya brightened by a sweet-and-spicy dressing and sprinklings of green beans, crushed peanuts, and ripe cherry tomatoes, touches on the familiar flavors of Thai cuisine with refreshing restraint.
Drinking has been a favorite pastime in Charleston since the first migrants from Europe and the Caribbean arrived in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, rum and drinking habits in tow. As befits its location, Xiao Bao offers both top-notch mixed drinks and a streamlined list of bottled beverages that includes wine, sake, and several exotic beers.
Many of the cocktails, created by veteran local bartender and co-owner Joey Ryan, nod to the more assertive flavors on the menu. The Sun Wukong ($8), a customer favorite, is an idiosyncratic blend of tequila and housemade ginger beer accented with chile-infused honey and fresh apple juice. The ginger beer commands the drink, tempered slightly by the smoky, vegetal influence of tequila. The Sichuan Sting ($8) is a mixture of Sichuan peppercorn-infused gin, lemon juice, and ginger beer, and tastes like a prickly lemonade fortified with a splash of the hard stuff.
The best cocktail for warm-weather sipping is the Taipei Storm ($8), a breezy blend of dark rum, sloe gin, and coconut milk. The combination is mild and floral, creamy with a lingering coconut flavor that bridges rum-soaked Charleston and the distant shores of East Asia. Xiao Bao also offers a handful of options for the non-drinker, including Mexican Coca-Cola ($3) and a tasty preserved lemonade ($2).
In a city full of restaurants that cater to the vacationing shrimp-and-grits crowd (some spectacular, and many others far from it), Xiao Bao Biscuit raises a fiery and unabashedly local flag. And with nothing on the menu priced above twenty dollars, it is remarkably easy on the wallet, too.

Italian businessman Marcello di Finizio stands above his banner as he protests on St. Peter's dome at the Vatican on Oct. 3, 2012.
Vatican City — An Italian man clambered onto a ledge on the huge dome of St Peter's Basilica on Tuesday to stage a precarious protest against Prime Minister Mario Monti and the European Union.
Video footage showed the man, identified as Marcello Di Finizio, jumping over railings near the top of the 450-foot high dome on Tuesday afternoon, shocking visitors taking a tour. He then tied a cord to the railings and abseiled to a ledge over a window in the cupola.

Marcello di Finizio continues his protest on Wednesday. The businessman from Trieste in northern Italy managed to slip past security guards at the Vatican on Tuesday evening.
Tottering on the ledge, Di Finizio unveiled a banner reading: "Help! Enough Monti, Enough Europe! Enough Multinationals!".
Officials said Wednesday that the man, who identified himself as the owner of a beach resort, refused appeals from government ministers offering to meet with him if he would come down.

About Silverthorne
Silverthorne received its name from Judge Marshal Silverthorn, who staked his gold mining claim in the valley in 1881. The "e" was added to the name in the 1930's because it was considered fashionable and chic. Over 100 years later Silverthorne continues to be "the gateway to Summit County." Officially incorporated in the 1960's, Silverthorne has grown up with the Summit County tourist industry. Silverthorne's proximity to both summer and winter activities, where all four of Summit County's world-class ski resorts within 20 minutes, make the town an ideal place to visit and live. Silverthorne's 62,000 square foot recreation center offers plenty of indoor recreation for both residents and visitors alike. Silverthorne is best known for its shopping, which should not be missed. The Silverthorne Factory Stores, with over 70 brand name shops are widely known for exceptional value, quality, and variety.

Before you attack your new Bluetooth LE beacon in frustration you can blame a possible bug in the Apple API for sudden state changes in finding and ranging beacons.
After banging our own heads, Dan Nolan from Proxima confirmed a problem we'd been seeing and which we initially blamed either on the beacons themselves or interference of some kind.
- Your app is likely to lose range of beacons for brief instances and will briefly report didExitRegion before quickly returning to being in range
- Your app will sometimes make the wrong 'guess' as to which proximity region it's in before eventually correcting itself. It will sometimes report Proximity == near when you're "immediate" or "immediate" when you're "near" and then flip itself back to the correct value.
The bug is hard to nail down because Apple hasn't documented the logic behind how it's API works and doesn't tell us how, exactly, they calculate proximity (which is a kind of rolling average and calculation based on signal strength and the accuracy packet). There are two key steps that your app will take in "finding" beacons:
Ranging Beacons
Using didStartMonitoringForRegion your app will 'look' for beacons while open or in the background tray. Once it finds them, you can initiate an action with didEnterRegion.
This one is simple enough and while the response time varies depending on whether your app is in the background or foreground and, weirdly, how long your app has been open or whether you've recently ranged, it works well enough.
It's how the app monitors leaving a region that makes things complicated. With didExitRegion the API is 'smart' enough to delay itself when you leave a region to make absolutely sure you're gone. Usually, this delay seems to be 3-4 seconds, whereas it will detect a proximity change in 1 second or under.
However, the bug we've run into is that your app will sometimes say that you've left a region and then immediately correct itself. This might be due to signal interference. Using HiBeacon or other beacon monitoring apps, we'll see brief "cutouts" in power displayed – but our suspicion is that there isn't an actual cut-out, it's the detection that's the issue.
What's strange about the bug is that under 'normal' conditions, the app won't report didExitRegion until it's confirmed that you've actually left. But in the issue of the bug, no confirmation happens – it just "exits" itself from the beacon region and then immediately flips back.
Beacon Proximity
As noted above, your app will sometimes make the wrong guess as to which region it's in. Using CLProximity, the API seems to have been set up to correct itself as more data comes in. Your app may be right next to a beacon and it will 'guess' that it's near, but then correct to immediate. But these corrections aren't predictable. And when the app is guessing "immediate" but you're actually "near", you can have weird decisions to make about the user experience.
One time you put your app next to a beacon and it pushes a coupon, the next time it pushes an ad for shoes. Not at least being able to predict what factors will help the app get it 'right' is frustrating to say the least…and it's either an out-and-out bug or a flaw in the logic behind the scenes.
What to Do?
The work-arounds to these issues all feel like hacks. Instead of the Apple API gracefully moving between finding and leaving regions and coming into proximity of beacons, you need to insert additional logic to avoid rapid 'toggling' and to 'fix' the last beacon reading in the case of a brief didExitRegion call. Dan and Apple itself have suggested that CLProximity won't be the API you want to use if you're really putting beacons through their paces: and you'll need to calculate proximity based on RSSI and accuracy from the beacon advertising packet.
We've tested this on three different types of beacons, so it doesn't seem to be related to the manufacturer of the beacons.
But have you seen similar results to those above? Are they "bugs" or just the reality of beacons which needs to be corrected for with code? Let us know in the comments below or drop me an e-mail.

25 GMAC mortgage assets.
11 Q. And what, if anything, is your responsibility
12 with regard to those records?
13 A. To track the physical paper for those
14 assets — or that asset.
15 Q. Are you what you consider to be the keeper of
16 the records for those documents?
17 A. Sure, yep.
5 Q. Okay. And then when somebody wants to view
6 specific records from your system, is that
7 something that you're responsible for
8 obtaining as part of your day-to-day
9 responsibilities?
10 A. The people that report to me, yes, or the
11 vendor that — that we have retained to do
12 those functions, yes. I don't do that
13 myself.
14 Q. Who's the vendor that you retain to do that?
15 A. A company called ACS.
17 A. Yep.
18 Q. And what does ACS do with regard to the
19 records?
20 A. They fulfill the request. So if somebody
21 needs a credit folder or a legal folder, they
22 research where those documents are, obtain
23 the documents and then provide that requestor
24 with either the paper documents or images.
21 Q. There's a file folder that shows it came from
22 the outside vendor?
23 A. Yes. Their sticker is affixed to the front
24 of the folder, so I know it came from them.
25 Q. Okay. And then is there anything on the
1 documents themselves that show where they
2 came from?
3 A. No.
4 Q. And by the outside vendor, do you mean ACS?
5 A. No. Actually, the vendor that stores the
6 actual folder is Iron Mountain.
7 Q. So there's a sticker on that file that shows
8 it came from Iron Mountain?
9 A. Correct, yes.
10 Q. Does Iron Mountain maintain your system or do
11 they just maintain hard copies of documents?
12 A. They maintain the hard copies of the
13 documents.
14 Q. Not any records on your computer system,
15 correct?
16 A. No.
17 Q. Is that correct?
18 A. Correct.
18 Q. What's the relationship between Residential
19 Funding Company, LLC and U.S. Bank National
20 Association?
21 A. In — in this instance, U.S. Bank is the
22 trustee on the security that this loan is in.
23 And RFC was the issuer of the security that
24 was created.
25 Q. Who was the issuer of the security?
1 A. RFC was the issuer of the security.
2 Q. Oh, RFC is what you call Residential Funding
3 Company?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. So RFC issued the security?
6 A. Right.
7 Q. Can you explain to me what that means?
8 A. No, I can't.
9 Q. Okay. How do you know RFC issued the
10 security?
11 A. It's the normal course of business as to how
12 our — our business works. RFC is in the
13 business of acquiring assets and putting them
14 together into securities to sell in the — in
15 the market.
16 MR. SHAW: I would like to
17 register a general objection to this line of
18 questioning. There's not been a foundation
19 laid for Judy Faber being competent to reach
20 some of these conclusions that are being
21 stated on the record.
23 Q. So in this particular instance, do you have
24 any personal knowledge of the relationship
25 between RFC and U.S. Bank National
1 Association as trustee?
2 A. No.
3 Q. For whom is U.S. Bank National Association
4 acting as the trustee?
5 A. I believe it would be for the investors of
6 the — that have bought the securities.
7 Q. I'm sorry. Something happened with the phone
8 and I didn't hear your answer. I'm sorry.
9 A. I believe it would be for the different
10 investors who have bought pieces of that
11 security that was issued.
12 Q. Are there different investors that have
13 purchased the Peter Cook note?
14 A. I don't think I'm qualified to answer that.
15 You know, I can tell you from what my basic
16 understanding is from the process, but I'm
17 not an expert.
18 MR. SHAW: Once again, I'd like to
19 raise a continuing general objection that she
20 being — testifying with respect to what her
21 job is, and I believe you're getting into
22 areas that is other than what her job is and
23 you're asking for possibly even legal
24 conclusions here. So I would like to raise
25 that objection again.

Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee both agree: if only the children had been allowed to pray and talk about God, these things would never happen:
HuffPo — Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) weighed in on the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, saying the crime was no surprise because we have "systematically removed God" from public schools."We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"
Wow, that's a new low even a pandering liar like Huckabee. But as odious as it is, Bryan Fischer handily tops it:
Bryan Fischer spent the first hour of his radio program today discussing this morning's truly horrific shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, which he, of course, blamed on the fact that prayer, the Bible, and the Ten Commandments are not taught in public schools.Fischer said that God could have protected the victims of this massacre, but didn't because "God is not going to go where he is not wanted" and so if school administrators really want to protect students, they will start every school day with prayer.

Running it told me that there are no upgrades available for libpng-1.2.44. I found out that there were multiple versions of libpng installed on my system:
- libpng-1.4.5 and;
- a slotted version, i.e. libpng-1.2.44.
The solution was to remove all versions of libpng and freshly install it. This can be achieved using the following command.

Enhancing a simple knit scarf
A little project I was asked to do was to jazz up this hand knit scarf. A few sequins and beads later I came up with this. It's quite a trend to have sequins sewn onto knitted accessories so for sure this is not 'new'. But if you do this yourself it will definitely be unique.
To do this technique tie your sewing thread to the scarf where you would like the sequin. Thread your sequin and bead onto the needle and push to the fabric. Thread the needle back through the sequin and tie off below. Try not to go too deep through the scarf as you don't want the thread showing on the other side. If your sequins aren't too spaced you can do more than one at a time by threading your cotton through the scarf so that it can't be seen. Do several of these and tie off securely.
Add some tassel with leftover yarn from your project. Add in a bit of coloured yarn to tie in the colours and you have a completely overhauled scarf!

The nl7 main advantage of any BPO is the nl7 way in which it helps nl7 increase nl7 a company's flexibility. H nl7 owever, several sources[which?] have different ways in which they perceive organizational f nl7 lexibility. In early 2000s BPO was al nl7 l about cost efficiency, which allowed a certain level of nl7 flexibility at the time. Due to t nl7 echno nl7 logical advances nl7 and changes in the industry (specifically the nl7 move to more service-based rather than product-based contracts), companies who choose to outsource their back-office increasingly look for time nl7 flexibility and direct quality control.[3] Business process o nl7 utsourcing enhances the flexibility of an organization in different ways: Most services provided by BPO vendors are offered on a fee-for-service basis, using business models such as Remote In-Sourcing or similar software development and outsourcing models.[4][5] This can help a company to become more flexible by transforming fixed into variable costs.[6] A variable cost structure helps a company responding to changes in required capacity and does not require a company to invest in assets, thereby making the company more flexible.[7] A nl7 nother way in which BPO contributes to a companyâs flexibility is that a company is able to focus on its core competencies, with nl7 out being burdened by the nl7 demands nl7 of bureaucratic restraints.[8] Key e nl7 mployees are herewith released from performing non-core or administrative processes and can invest nl7 more time and energy in nl7 building the firmâs core businesses.[ nl7 9] The key lies in knowing which of the nl7 main value drivers to focus on â" customer intimacy, product leadership, or operational excellence. nl7 Focusing more on one of these dri nl7 vers may help a company create a competitive edge.[10] A nl7 third way in which BPO increase nl7 s organizational flexibility is by increasing the speed of business nl7 processes.

The coronavirus pandemic has thrown many countries into recession - but what exactly is it and how could it affect you? View the full article
Oh and before bed Officially leaked statements about a PHE report claiming that a UK study will say there is little evidence of children transmitting Covid. Leakers stats look impressive until you realise he's on Johnson's SAGE so makes you think - huh - hows that then when all the science I've seen says different, and there are a number of reports of spreads in schools across the world from schools that had opened. Then, little as the information 'leaked' is, you see "largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools" and then "The study was carried out in 100 institutions in the UK and is expected to be published later this year. About 20,000 pupils and teachers in 100 schools across England were tested to monitor the spread of the disease up to the end of the summer term – which runs from April-July in Britain." Then you click. That averages 200 pupils and staff per 'institution' checked We dont know what these institutions are, but I think over 200 is the average for infants schools. Other schools tend to be FAR larger. Did they test everyone at each institution, or just some ??? we don't know yet - they are choosing not to leak that - Wonder why? We currently understand that younger children (pre teenage) seem to present few/less symptoms (statistically) but large increases in teenager covid has been reported as lockdowns ease and they start to meet more. I know my OH's grandson (mother a nurse) has remained at school in classes one third or less that normal, with the majority of kids having front line worker parents - so well aware of the discipline and hygiene necessary. We know the schools maintain distancing, monitoring and maintenance which would be IMPOSSIBLE in normal class sizes. So in a lock down situation, with class sizes significantly lower than normal (highly aware front-line workers kids mainly), increased distancing and cleaning made possible by SIGNIFICANTLY smaller class sizes - Has maybe resulted in no great evidence of covid spread perhaps? Well Whoopy do. Lets ramp the class sizes back up to 30+ and see what happens .. Lets let the mail lead the way Coronavirus infection rates are rising in ALL age groups under 65, Public Health England data shows with biggest surge in under-fives which 'should be watched very carefully' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8615423/Coronavirus-infection-rates-rising-age-groups-65-Public-Health-England-data-shows.html and the ONS stats showing how similar the stats are (a statistically significant difference can be very little actual difference) https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19infectionsinthecommunityinengland/july2020 Notes: These statistics refer to infections reported in the community, by which we mean private households. These figures exclude infections reported in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings.
i understand and agree you should write a formal letter of complaint about the email by royal mail. i also think you should totally dispute the arrears balance, esp as it goes back so long send them an sar and add to the text in it that you want statements/bills dating back to the gb energy a/c.
When you see the reports coming out that serco was involved from the earliest stages apparently to give expertise and that resulted in 18 million plus people coming back into the UK untested from hotspots .. and then even the general advice to self isolate after they had travelled across the UK home being withdrawn in the run-up to the lock down That went well says cummings

Caught in Sainsburys - police say i must do a Community Resolution Order - Help I'm a Nurse
Pug Lover81 posted a topic in Retail loss Prevention/Other shoplifting allegations.,Hi,
I was in Sainsbury's today and did scan and shop.
I arrived in after a busy day at work and immediately got distracted by the clothes.
I put a few things in my trolley and then did a shop.
I paid and was about to get into my car when the security guard stopped me and asked me to come back in.
I did and they took me upstairs.
I was mortified and said I forgot to scan the clothes and a conditioner, 5 items.
I know its unacceptable but I was distracted and Initially hadn't really planned to use scan and shop.
No excuse.
I offered to pay for the goods but the manager said it was too late.
He looked at the CCTV and because I didn't try to scan the items he was phoning the police.
The cost of the items was about £40.
I was crying at this point and told them I was a nurse, just coming from work and I could get struck off.
They rang the police anyway and they came and issued me with a community resolution notice, which goes off my record in a year.
I feel terrible. I have to declare this to my employer and NMC.
They kept me in a room on my own with 4 staff and have banned me from all stores.
The police said if I didn't do the community order I would go to court and they would refer me to the PPS.
I'm so stressed,
can u appeal this or should I just accept it?
Thanks for reading

How should sentences that end with both a colon and a question mark be formed? Two examples are below, both questions, but one in which the colon presents a piece of information and the other in which it begins a list.
Is this the one you meant?: http://blah.com/somebody/blog/article/foobarbaz.gif
Do you have any of these symptoms?:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness
Obviously a question-mark—colon combination is no good, and at best, looks odd. Putting the question mark after the item(s) is no good either. Do they have to be rewritten in a more pointed way such as below or is there another option?

SUVs - Suddenly Upside-down Vehicles
At Ford, why wasn't safety job 1?
Like other car companies, Ford has consistently fought mandatory increases in fuel economy for SUVs and other vehicles by invoking fears that higher mileage requirements would result in smaller, more dangerous vehicles. Safety has been used to beat back fuel efficiency regulations. But Ford's own internal documents and a series of recent court cases reveal a company that is shockingly indifferent to safety risks in the very class of gas-guzzling vehicles it most wants to shield from increases in fuel economy standards—SUVs.
An Environmental Working Group analysis of internal company documents never before made public reveals that Ford engineers knew in 1982 that the original sport-utility vehicle, the Bronco II, was prone to roll over during safety tests. With modest changes that did not significantly reduce rollover potential, the Bronco II was renamed the Explorer in 1990.
The Bronco II was so unstable that Ford's engineers cancelled test drives out of fear for the safety of Ford's professional test drivers. Ford executives dismissed their own engineers' urgings that they widen the vehicle to make it safer, went into production anyway, and then paid a former company engineer $5 million to lie about what Ford knew and when they knew it in 30 lawsuits against the company over 8 years.
When confronted with this evidence in 2001, a federal judge in Goff v. Ford concluded that as a matter of law, Ford had engaged in a conspiracy to commit fraud [Excerpt | Full document]. Other courts have delivered equally harsh assessments of Ford's conduct in SUV rollover cases. In a 1999 decision, the Indiana Court of Appeals referred to Ford's behavior in bringing the Bronco II to market as: "highly reprehensible" and "the crassest form of corporate indifference to safety . . . of the consumer" [Excerpt ]. Government records show that 3,826 people died in Bronco II and Explorer rollovers between 1983 and 2001.
