Tonight was a night we'll remember for quite some time. Not only did we sweep the Arch Baron Cup (again), but our senior boys grabbed their 98th win. This puts them atop the Dayton Basketball ladder with the most wins by a class in school history. To put the cherry on top, Archie took home some records of his own: seven straight Arch Baron Cup victories and his fourth straight 20-win season. Maybe the most historic night any of us will see in our lifetimes.
But sadly, glory doesn't come free of charge:
In the first half we found our rhythm early (for once) and watched tonight's Harewood Horse winner Charles Cooke go 3-for-3 from behind the arc. A couple other surprising events: Josh played 10 minutes and scored 4 points (along with a nice block), and Crosby didn't commit a single turnover in the 5 minutes he played. The Magic of the Cup was shining bright tonight, as the young backup point guard drained his only shot from the field. The Fliers went into the locker room up 41-17 after shooting a nice little 60.9 percent.
Look, Arch Baron nights aren't meant for statistical analyses or long blogs, they're meant for us to come together and celebrate one of the country's longest and scariest rivalries. Tonight was fun to watch on both ends of the court regardless of our opponent. We were making shots. The X-Man earned his first start. Josh played some good minutes and finished with 12 points. Cooke led the squad with 18 points and I'm thoroughly excited that he's starting to shoot the ball again. We shot 50 percent from three-point land (9 of 18), 57 percent from the field, and added another 20 points from the charity stripe.
But with all that said, far be it from me to knock our rival when they're down. You see what Travis Ford has sitting at the end of his bench?
Adonys Henriquez (Central Florida), Ty Graves (Boston College), Javon Bess (Michigan State), and D.J. Foreman (Rutgers). Four transfers sitting out who all started multiple games at their former Division I programs. This platoon, combined with a healthy Jermaine Bishop, will most likely makeup their starting squad next season. SLU will be a very different team indeed.
But that's in the future; tonight is the present. Hats off to Cooke for taking home the coveted MVP hardware. Congratulations to Sam Miller for bleeding like a stuck pig at the end – you can't buy grit like that these days. And cheers to you, Joey Gruden, for being called upon to take Miller's final free throw and deafening all 217 fans in the crowd with the swish of the net.
One final note – Trey Landers came off the bench like a Goddamn pit bull tonight. It would be easy for a kid who hasn't found his place yet to be a complete stiff, but he had the whole bench on their feet with his effort. Trying to guess what next year's squad will look like is going to give us all strokes this summer, believe that.
All tied up with VCU. Few landmine games coming up, but March 1st is a big big big big game.
Mr. Vines
The man, the myth, the straws, the legend. More than a blogger; less than a God.

An Ode To Homemakers In A World Of Working Women
For women to work is now a way of life. Come to think of it, we tend to glorify the 'superwoman', she who can perform the balancing act of managing a career as well as the home. Yet, there is another woman who rarely is in the public eye or discourse.

Glendale Credit Union Completes Merger
Tuesday, February 28, 2017
California Credit Union will merge effective Wednesday with North Island Credit Union to serve Los Angeles and San Diego counties.
The Glendale financial institution will join its 13 branches with the 11 operated by North Island. The combined credit union will be known under the California Credit Union name with North Island retaining its name for the San Diego area and operating as a division of the merged institutions.
California Credit Union ranked No. 3 on the Business Journal's credit union list last year with assets of $1.6 billion and deposits of $1.3 billion from its more than 90,000 members. It has more than 300 employees.
Walton Greene, board chair of California Credit Union, said the two institutions were a great cultural, financial and strategic fit.
"There is no question that the economy of scale advantages and expertise of our combined organization will enable us to bring much more long-term value to members," Greene said in a prepared statement.
Chief Executive Ron McDaniel will not stay on with the combined credit unions as he was already scheduled to retire this year. North Island Chief Executive Officer Steve O'Connell will head up the institution.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court rejected requests from news organizations Friday for live, televised coverage of this month's historic arguments on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul but agreed to release audio recordings of the proceedings on the same day.
The court will post audio files and transcripts on its website within two hours of the end of the proceedings on each of the three days set aside for argument, March 26-28.
The C-SPAN cable network said it would play back the arguments on a broadcast channel and on radio as soon as they are available.
The justices have never allowed cameras inside the courtroom and decided not to make an exception for the health care case despite what the court called "extraordinary public interest."
A statement issued by the court's public information office and a letter from Chief Justice John Roberts to C-SPAN did not say anything about cameras or live coverage, even though many news organizations, including The Associated Press, and several members of Congress had asked the court to permit cameras into the courtroom to cover the proceedings.
One of the lawmakers, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., called the decision on expedited audio a step forward but said he was disappointed that Americans will not be able to "witness these public proceedings as they happen."
The decision harks back to Bush v. Gore, the case that sealed George W. Bush's election as president in 2000. That was the first time the justices provided audio of the arguments on the same day after they turned away pleas to air the proceedings live in a case that riveted the nation.
Then, as now, C-SPAN and other organizations told the court they would broadcast the arguments live and in their entirety.
In subsequent years, the court would occasionally authorize same-day release of audio in high-profile cases.
But beginning in October 2010, the justices said they would no longer entertain requests for same-day release of audio of argument sessions. Instead, the court began posting audio files of all arguments on its website on Fridays. They made an allowance for the six hours of health care arguments, the most time set aside for any issue in more than 45 years.
In recent years, argument transcripts have been made available just a few hours later.
Reporters are not allowed to carry recorders or cameras into the courtroom.

Bee Blocks can be used either as an integrated part of a building or can be positioned as a free-standing bee nest in the garden or allotment. Designed as a biodiversity enhancement measure, they also make great gifts.
Each Bee Block contains cavities for solitary bees to lay their eggs - they will then seal the entrance with mud or chewed-up vegetation. The offspring will emerge in the following spring and the cycle begins again. Each cavity is moulded part way into the block ensuring bees cannot enter the building.
Bee Blocks are cast from concrete using 75% waste material from the Cornish china clay industry. This makes them both long-lasting and environmentally friendly.
The Bee Block should be positioned in a warm sunny spot, preferably on a south-facing wall, with no vegetation in front of the holes. Ideally they should be positioned at a height of at least 1 metre from the ground. It is highly recommended that bee-friendly plants are located nearby so that the bees using the bricks have food, otherwise it is unlikely that the bricks will be used. Lavender, honeysuckle and buddleia are all pollinator-friendly plants.
Solitary bees are non-aggressive and as such are suitable for gardens with pets and children. Solitary bees will not sting you unless you squash them, and even then their stings are not painful. They are a vital part of your local biodiversity and should be encouraged and cherished, particularly by gardeners as they are vital for the pollination of fruit crops. Bee populations are in decline and introducing measures now to reverse this is absolutely essential.
Available in two sizes and in a choice of three colours: white, charcoal or yellow.
* Material: Concrete

Info for Remixes for Seksound
The latest chapter in Bill Wells' ceaselessly creative musical story is as unpredictable as it is typical of the self-taught musician, songwriter and arranger. It's deceptive, too.
On the surface, Remixes For Seksound is exactly what its title promises – eight tracks by a handful of groups, originally released on Estonian label Seksound and given the Bill Wells treatment.
From the first note, however, it's apparent these are no mere remixes. These are reworkings, reconstructions from the ground up, in some instances containing little more than traces of the original songs, transforming shoegaze and dream-pop into jazz-accented lullabies.
In order to start work with as clean a slate as possible, Wells often gave the parent material a cursory airing in his home studio in Glasgow before pulling it apart and either composing entirely new arrangements or resculpting the supplied parts in his own unique fashion.
Vocal tracks were isolated as Wells penned new chord structures, devised fresh rhythms and ultimately applied his signature – a sophisticated, playful fusion of Burt Bacharach, Charles Mingus and Brian Wilson – to the donor songs. He also enlisted the talents of friends and previous collaborators including Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, Stevie Jackson and Chris Geddes of Belle and Sebastian, singer Lorna Gilfedder and tuba player Danielle Price.
The results are as beguiling, refreshing and gentle as followers of Bill Wells would expect.
It was around 15 years ago that Seksound director Rein Fuks first approached Wells with an invitation to collaborate, having been entranced by Wells' contribution to The Pastels' remix album Illuminati (Domino, 1998). Wells undertook several remixes for Seksound while embarking on a slew of other projects, including two albums on Chemikal Underground with Aidan Moffat (Everything's Getting Older in 2011 and The Most Important Place In The World in 2015), several albums with his mischievously titled National Jazz Trio of Scotland and Nursery Rhymes (Karaoke Kalk, 2015), an extraordinary suite recorded in New York and featuring a stellar cast including Yo La Tengo, Karen Mantler, Amy Allison, Syd Straw and many others.
Completing work on two remixes in early 2018, Wells and Fuks agreed the time had come to release these exemplary visions as a compilation. The fact the material on Remixes For Seksound spans 14 years and sounds magnificently cohesive is testament to the depth and endurance of Wells' singular musical talent.

"Almondina has been described as a gourmet cookie, a health food, and a snack, all rolled into one, and we'd say that's a pretty accurate description of the addictive all-natural biscuits. Crunchy and thin, these biscotti-rific goodies come in a bazillion flavors — everything from Choconut to Cinnaroma. Our personal favorites are the Original ones, which are packed with almonds and raisins, and based on Grandma Dina's secret recipe. We'd like to officially go on record to say GRANDMA DINA ROCKS! Warning: DO NOT take what we said about them being addictive lightly. If you're not careful, you can inhale an entire pack in one sitting."
Hungry-Girl.com, March 23, 2006
I read this on the website, and I couldn't wait to try this product. First of all I do agree that they're definitely addictive. I thought they wouldn't really taste like anything when I held this hard, and thin wafer/cookie in my hand. I can't begin to tell you how wrong I was. Mmmm They're great with milk or a cup of coffee & believe it or not they're satisfying and fulfilling & the only fat in these cookies are the almonds, but eating whole almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat, can significantly lower the risk of heart disease. I think the biggest thing is that it captured my heart because my own grandmother use to make a similar cookie, and she guarded who own recipe, and I still haven't found out who she gave that recipe too, and I may never being as all her daughters are gone now. So these are the closest ones that I have found on the market. If you cannot wait just go to their website and you can order some now!
Almondina® biscuits have many flavors like you just heard. Is your mouth watering yet?
Including new products: · Chocolate Dipped – the Original® dipped in the finest, pure, rich dark chocolate was previously offered only certain times of the year is now available year round; · Delights – The Original® Almondina totally encased in Milk chocolate · Yogurt Dipped – Brantreats® dipped on one side with a layer of all natural yogurt. mmmmm

Get able to feel all the nostalgia feels – Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of House Improvement!
Attempt to be as detailed as doable, include areas of the house, supplies, tools and so forth. Preston: Let's simply order it on Amazon. I do not even use shops anymore. (in his most imply women, Regina George voice). These braces are basically flat, telescoping items of metal which were designed to press firmly against the joists and hold the load of the fan, and could be discovered at a local house enchancment store. So make sure that you have proper shielding on your lights, and also angle them away from others. This is another reason why putting lights up larger, aiming them at the floor, is a good suggestion. Regardless of the case may be, hiring a reputable house enchancment expert is most significant to your private home improvement funding, and to attain this there are particular details that you need to know and pay attention to when choosing a home enchancment contractor to your dwelling or property funding.
In the Nineteen Seventies, one instance is, the buzz was for neon-like colours. Pink and inexperienced have been utilized together on the lookout for a spring fashion extravaganza, together with your two solids used in tunics, shifts, skirts and pants. The 2 colours collectively offered an nearly psychedelic display that normally introduced springtime again if you happen to wore them. Even should you take a look at these colors together at the moment, you will get the identical sense of spring.
As usual, all your concepts are fabulous! Makes me need to run out and get a bunny just so I can begin making him toys 🙂 Totally superior! In perhaps the simplest phrases doable, a water-based mostly stain can go just about anyplace, but will require a bit of more work to maintain. Even when you haven't thought-about it before, the way in which a room looks can have a big impact on how you're feeling general.
Upon getting removed as a lot of the film as you'll be able to you'll find that there are still areas that have a sticky residue left behind. Although these are called cat toys, my rabbits typically snag them proper from beneath the noses of my cats, so I think they nearly work better as rabbit toys. When someone has the intention to sneak into your own home, they'll be on edge. They are able to bolt at the first sign of trouble. If you have a light that's triggered by movement or heat, and so they set it off, they are much extra prone to run out of pure fear. These lights from well-known designers tend to boast quality as well as type, and can make a statement in your home's adorning. Whether or not your fashion is modern or traditional, you'll be able to improve your home's appearance and lighting with designer lights. Take a cardboard tube equivalent to a Quik-tube for concrete pilings and a few scrap carpet.

The industry's next lobbying step: Show and tell
If you haven't already, read these two blogs before proceeding:
Someone wants National Seating & Mobility and United Seating & Mobility to step up to the plate
A good problem for the industry to have?
In the latter, I suggested that NRRTS may want to reconsider the way it organizes CELA, given the need for the rehab industry to continue its rallying call, but make the most of its lobbying efforts.
Well, I've thought of another idea (inspired by our publisher, Rick Rector, who is currently helping his brother run for his second term as a state senator here in Maine). What if, in the spirit of including as many providers as possible, there's a secondary event where, during one of the Congressional recesses, NRRTS schedules appointments, much like it does for CELA in D.C., for representatives and senators to visit a provider or a group of providers in their home districts. The group could organize and schedule a teleconference before the visits to prep providers, much like it does the first day of CELA.
I believe NRRTS and others groups have done bits and pieces of this but nothing this organized.
It's too bad. If providers had someone scheduling the appointments for them and offering them support (teleconference, handouts), I bet they'd be more willing to host these types of visits. A lot of providers find this process intimidating and, frankly, they don't have the time on the front-end to make the necessary arrangements.
So maybe this should be the industry's next step in its increasingly organized lobbying efforts. Because let's face it, what's more productive: A provider sitting with a legislative aide in a representative's or senator's Washington, D.C., office, or a provider walking through his location with a representative or senator showing and telling him or her all about his business and patients?

- The first term paper assignment is due this Friday, Feb. 6. Your instructor has provided details about what and how to submit this assignment. See General rules for citing sources in scientific writing for details on the proper format for the literature cited section.
Check this list to learn the name of your instructor. All assignments are submitted to, and graded by, your instructor. Your instructor will also provide additional information, either by email or through this EEB2245W website, about assignment requirements, assignment submission, and required meetings.
The library resources sessions are scheduled for the following times:
- Thursday, Jan. 22 12-1:30 pm
- Monday, Jan. 26 11 am-12:30 pm

All library resources sessions will take place in the Library Electronic Classroom, on level 2 of the library.
This website contains information for the W portion of the course only. For the lecture portion of the course, click here
Course Goals
The goals of this course are to help you learn to present your ideas and arguments in clear, well-organized prose and to introduce you to library research in biology. Because it is a science course, some of what you learn about writing will apply principally to scientific writing, but your efforts in this course will also translate into enhanced skills in other writing tasks.
The assignments are geared towards writing a term paper on a subject that interests you in evolutionary biology. It is very important that you devote time and thought to your choice of topic so that you enjoy the research that goes into this paper. Your instructor will help you. By the end of the course, you will be an expert on this topic!
- Meetings: All W students must sign up for and attend one library resources session during the 1st or 2nd week of classes. Sign-up is through HuskyCT. Failure to attend one of these sessions may result in being dropped from the W section. Your instructor may require additional meetings.
- Quizzes: All students must pass 3 online quizzes, which will be administered through HuskyCT.
- Assignments: The final written product in this course is a review paper that defends a significant claim in evolutionary biology using data from the primary literature. This paper should be 4500-5000 words in length (about 15 pages) and cite a minimum of 8 references from the primary literature. Primary literature is written by the author(s) of the scientific research. Secondary literature is written by someone other than the author and could contain factual errors. To guide you through the process of researching and writing your paper, there are four term paper assignments.
Plagiarism is presenting someone else's ideas or words as your own. In its most blatant form, it involves quoting without quotation marks or without proper attribution of credit, including doing so from another student's paper or from a commercially available one. This form of plagiarism will result in an F for the course. Paraphrasing without giving credit or changing only a few words (i.e., paraphrasing too closely) even if you give credit are also examples of plagiarism. Penalties for these forms of plagiarism will range from a requirement to rewrite the assignment (if proper citations are included) to a 0 for the assignment to an F for the course (if proper citations are not included). Of course, you'll be discussing the ideas of others in your paper, but you must express the ideas in your own words and cite the reference for each idea that is not your own in the text.

Darfur, which is in the country of Sudan, is going through tough times. The government along with the Arabs are killing the non-Arabs or Africans. Some people in the UN and US are trying to stop these killings while others are supporting it. The genocide in Darfur has caused many hardships, pain, sorrow, and resulted in help from other countries.
Before the genocide started, there was always tension between the Arabs and non- Arab communities. There was a dispute between the Arab nomads, Arabs that would wander from place to place with no permanent home, and the local African farmers over grazing land (New African). They fought over land grazing rights in Darfur. They shared pastures and water sources, which were getting very scarce. "The prolonged drought and the ensuing famine that begun in the 1980's has heightened the tensions." Because they had to share pastures and water that was in short supply in affect to the drought and famine, it caused fighting amongst the Arabs and non- Arabs (National Catholic Reporter).
There was a big distinction between the Arabs and non-Arabs. During the 1900's, people had to declare themselves either as Arabs or non- Arabs. The Arabs were known as "progressives" while the Africans were known as "reactionary" or "anti- Arab. The outside world recognized these labels. This caused separation in the world between the Arabs and non- Arabs (Prunier 46, 47).
The National Islamic Front (NIF) government in Darfur along with the Arabs started to kill the Africans. (The label non- Arabs and Africans are interchangeable. They could go by either. ) The Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and The Justice Equality Movement (JEM) are two groups that emerged to challenge the NIF government. These groups claim that the government in Darfur discriminates against African ethnic groups. The...

I recently spent the day in our NY offices. Generally, I work full-time from my home office north of Boston, but this past Wednesday, I flew in in the morning and headed back to Boston in the evening. I generally do this every two or three months to touch base with the people I work with. I find it's good to have a bit of face time. Besides, it provides me with some renewed energy for my work. I suspect it also mixes it up for my co-workers a bit, whether that's good or bad.
The trip actually got me thinking about the whole telecommuting arrangement and wondering how Inc.com business owners manage remote workers. The technology is there to support the regular flow of communication, but how is your "quality" of communication with your remote employees? I'm lucky to have a manager and co-workers who regularly keep me in touch with the work "culture," so I'm not so a much fish out of water when I do make my office visits, and I entirely feel like a member of team despite my remote location.
Are you just checking in to see that projects are done, or are you engaging your remote employees in conversations that help you get to know them better, as you might with internal employees? And how often do you require them to visit your office?
If managing remote workers is a challenge, or if you're considering offering telecommuting as an option, here are a few good articles on the topic:

She LOVES it and said the popcorn popper worked great. She said the bowl was beautiful and she'd be using this gift a lot.

Patriotism is earned in the following ways:
- killing a player from an opposing nation in PvP
- you get 100 Patriotism for winning the Battlefield
- completing an assassination mission (repeatable)
- completing the Sedin Unit missions for Elerd and Alban Unit missions for Rogwel (non-repeatable)
- from a PvP event
When killing a player in PvP, patriotism earned is related to the level of the player killed?
During the weekly maintenance, Patriotism is reduced by about 20%.
Patriotism is used to rank players.
The amount of Patriotism needed to earn a certain rank varies by:
- how much Patriotism you have relative to others with your job
- how much Patriotism you have relative to other players
You need to have at least 1 Patriotism to get a rank.
You can see your Patriotism and Ranking in the Character window (press the C key)

JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post
This is a very Grand-Central_terminal-centric image of NYC--and rightfully so, being one of the great buildings of Manhattan. These images come from a promotional The Gateway to a Continent, published in 1939, which is a fairly luxurious publication which I think was intended for the appreciation of possible luxury accommodations for visitors to the 1939 New York World's Fair. The result is an overview of the venues on Lexington/Park/Madison from 42nd-51st streets. There's a great two-page map that shows this section in detail and which leaves out virtually everything else save the text mentions of some like "the Chrysler Building", "the Empire State", and "Penn Station" without images of them.

An Essay on Public Procurement
Public procurement is broadly defined as the purchasing, hiring or obtaining by any other contractual means of goods, construction works and services by the public sector. Public procurement is alternatively defined as the purchase of commodities and contracting of construction works and services if such acquisition is effected with resources from state budgets, local authority budgets, state foundation funds, domestic loans or foreign loans guaranteed by the state, foreign aid as well as revenue received from the economic activity of state. Public procurement thus means procurement by a procuring entity using public funds.
The items involved in public procurement range from simple goods or services such as clips or cleaning services to large commercial projects, such as the development of infrastructure, including road, power stations and airports. Public procurement is different from private procurement, because in public procurement the economic results must be measured against more complex and long-term criteria.
Furthermore, public procurement must be transacted with other considerations in mind, besides the economy. These considerations include accountability, non-discrimination among potential suppliers and respect for international obligations. For these reasons, public procurement is subjected in all countries to enacted regulations, in order to protect the public interests.
It is worth noting that unlike private procurement, public procurement is a business process within a political system and has therefore significant consideration of integrity, accountability, national interest and effectiveness. Insofar as public procurement has important economic and political implications, ensuring that the process is economical and efficient is crucial. This requires in part that the whole process is well understood by both the actors (the government, the procuring entities, the business community/suppliers) and other stakeholders, including the professional associations, academic entities and the general public.
Unfortunately, for most developing countries, this is not the case. Although several developing countries have taken steps to reform their public procurement systems, the process is still shrouded by secrecy, inefficiency, and corruption and undercutting. In all these cases, huge amounts of resources are wasted.
A basic tenet of public procurement is to provide ample and equal opportunities for participation to interested and qualified suppliers of goods, works or services. This ensures a healthy and effective competition. It is principally through such an open and effective competitive environment that the government, just like any procurer, gets the best value in procurement and at minimum cost while making it possible for the suppliers/contractors to fully benefit from doing business with it in a regulated environment that safeguards against favoritism and profiteering and provides equal participating opportunities to every potential and eligible supplier/contractor.
For procuring entities, open and effective competition should therefore aim at obtaining from suppliers the best possible combination of costs, goods and services. Suppliers/contractors competing with each other become market conscious by being innovative, strategic and focused in the delivery of their services.
Consequently, they make effort to optimize their price and quality for the procuring entity. While suppliers and contractors, as a result of market competition, strive to satisfy the anticipated needs of their customers, procuring entities need not sit back. They should be proactive and professionally apt to get the best possible outcome from the market.

The one who's suffering from alcohol abuse, the first step is recognizing, you need help along with behavioral therapy. If you found a treatment that is effective for you, it's important to stick to that treatment. For overall advice, a person who is an alcoholic individual must to stop or reduce its drinking habits.
We could also offer to our patient's detoxification, counseling, and therapies these are also top of our lists of treatments. Followed by proper medication guided by professional experts. These are all based on your preferable needs.
Many studies show that people who oppose alcohol abuse benefit from a variety of treatments. However, everything is different. Not all treatments are available for every person. The size of a person who is looking for treatment, the better is the result.
Behavioral therapy can be used to treat alcohol abuse. Therapy can be a form of support, counseling, or a combination of groups. Other prescribed medications can deal with alcohol abuse by helping people stop or reduce their drinking. Like all medicines, others can cause side effects.
When you have found a treatment that is effective for you, it is important to stay in that treatment. Additionally, it is helpful to avoid many situations related to alcohol. Prevention is much better than cure they say.
Treatment is in many ways. It may be helpful for individual or group counseling, a home care orphanage for parents who's been experiencing alcohol abuse through their children, where your child lives until the end of the treatment and where your child leaves the home for treatment and return day programs, hospital programs, medicines for reducing alcohol, continuous support programs, and support for partners. Ask your doctor or treatment combination if possible.
People who get from alcoholism and drug dependence face many obstacles, such as arrogance, shame, discrimination, and misery in which it has become much more difficult for individuals and families to face their problem and get the help they need. Development of resources provides an opportunity to assist in the transformation of social, medical, government and industry policies and to assist in educating the public on the needs, rights, and strengthening of the good.
For many people who have long ago talk about alcoholism, it is a great ingredient in maintaining their quietness and living well. Communicating with the community, with a church or employer supporting programs, funds, and research for education, control, treatment, and recovery is an important responsibility for improving individuals and families.

Business dynamics have changed due to new technologies, innovation and disruption. For example, mobile phones began as a communication tool and are now like a computer in the pocket. This was only the beginning. The ripple effect was felt in markets and infrastructure as the impact was visible outside the system; for example, Uber, FB, Twitter, etc. And that is the real transformation.
In the industrial space, there are a host of disruptive technologies changing the business landscape; Cloud, IoT, 3D, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, etc. The focus, now, is on improving Asset Performance Management (APM) and Operational Performance Management (OPM). There is a lot of activity on all fronts, but we don't know what the game changer is. Perhaps it's not just one thing; it could be multiple changes happening simultaneously. And we need to wait and watch what impact all these technologies will have on the industry. This is an interesting inflection point where people and processes need to change and adapt because the future is already here. Everything is connected. For instance, to design a smart connected product one has to think about the data input and output, who will be given access to the data, the digital twin, etc.
Digital transformation – a matter of 'when'
A successful digital transformation program steps an organisation through a process that transforms its current state to a desired future state. For production operations, this often involves moving from a local, siloed procedural operating model to a more comprehensive model that is integrated to the enterprise, responsive to customers and market changes and optimised in the context of overall business performance. More than ever, digital transformation is mission critical for business health and viability, both, in the short-term and long-term. Digitally transformed organisations will be able to transition to and thrive in digital economies, making digital transformation a matter not of 'if,' but 'when'.
A digital strategy in place
In practice, this often means thinking about production operations in a new way. It means stepping away from the practices and models that have enabled an organisation to operate as well as it does today, but may need to change to achieve tomorrow's goals. Business transformation requires changes at all levels from the information systems to the workforce. So, to evolve into an organisation that thrives on innovation, there must be a digital strategy in place. The six dimensions must converge for operational efficiency – smart business, smart services, smart products, smart operation & maintenance, smart design & construct and smart supply chain; and these have to be seamlessly integrated with industrial IoT.
The 21st century software
Software is eating the world and powering the industrial IoT revolution. IT systems have evolved and are transitioning to the new software to create a digitally integrated enterprise. Companies are now moving to modern software platforms, which means that cloud native micro-service-based apps are coming to the plant (this is already visible in the IT systems). The development process is moving to a DevOp model, the architecture is moving to micro services, the deployment model is moving from physical to virtual and now to containers; and the infrastructure that all this runs on is moving from datacentres at the plant to private clouds. Soon, industrial companies are going to move to demanding 21st century software. So, instead of having an MES, historian or quality management system, there will be a platform and a collection of micro service apps. In the last century, for efficient plant operations, it made sense to utilise a big, expensive, closed, one-size-fits-all, periodically updated production application, as well as a big, expensive, closed, one-size-fits-all, periodically updated maintenance application, and probably several others.
Today, with the proliferation of potentially connected devices, machines, systems and machine learning-driven optimisation strategies, it is difficult to see how any large application provider can possibly incorporate all the needed solutions into their monolithic applications, even by extensively interfacing with other applications to handle all interactions. But with a 21st century approach to the problem, there's a way forward. Though we are all comfortable with the legacy software model, there are significant drawbacks that we don't think about anymore:
Change is coming. The new approach is already in common use in IT shops and elsewhere.
Plant floor software suppliers are currently in the process of moving to the new approach
Now is the time to start
Connected and integrated environments
Leading industrial companies are actively engaged in ransformation programs that will reshape their production operations to be more integrated, responsive and optimised to meet business and customer needs. Realising these innovations requires an understanding of the emerging 21st century operations ecosystem. Connected environments surface heretofore unavailable machine data, enabling new business models. New systems may monitor the assets and new actors may interact with the assets in new ways. Industrial plant operations, typically siloed and fairly isolated today, will be reshaped as the core of a 21st century industrial production operations ecosystem. Field operations, such as, mining or agriculture, are experiencing a similar evolution. In other cases, such as, automotive, where the assets operate in public spaces and both the assets and ecosystems are evolving quickly, other factors come into play.
In 21st century production operations, work is accomplished with a combination of internal and external actors (asset manufacturers, third-party machine monitoring services, spare parts suppliers, etc). This puts new demands on data requirements and cybersecurity strategies. New types of data are being generated (wearables, vision systems, machine health sensors, etc.) and newly available digital twins and machine learning systems can work at various levels to optimise the overall system in sync with the needs of customers and business operations.
Offering smart, connected products
The availability of connected machines is potentially disruptive to these established production and maintenance scenarios. Digitalisation involves connectivity to much more than the production machines and systems. Wearables, Augmented Reality helmets or glasses, mobile devices, smart carriers, smart containers, smart components, smart products, autonomous machines, video, third-party services, social applications, Additive Manufacturing, voice control, remote sensing and more are now an active part of the real-time, data-rich environment in the plant. By offering smart, connected products, manufacturers can position themselves to improve their customers' experience with their products. Digitalisation enables manufacturers to improve the performance of their service operations through remote connectivity and enables predictive maintenance, continuous uptime, rapid service response and the opportunity to offer incremental, revenue-producing products and services.
Here is ARC's three-step planning process for companies that are planning digital transformations:
Assess the organisational maturity & capacity for change
Determine where to start applying technologies. This provides a meaningful way to develop a framework to consider the role of technology & pilots in terms of how to select, deploy and scale them within a strategic framework.
Determine how to execute based on one's current readiness to align the framework to tactics
Future of digital transformation of the industry
The next several years will bring about the digital transformation of manufacturing industries. This will touch nearly every aspect of business as existing systems, jobs and business processes are instrumented, redefined and optimised with Artificial Intelligence. This transformation will be widespread and far reaching. Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), Engineering Technology (ET), supply chain, asset management, services and customer-facing systems will all be impacted. Discrete manufacturing, process industries, utilities, energy, infrastructure and more are already beginning the transformation. That digitalisation is an imperative to succeed in a competitive world is a given, but the transition must be well strategised and charted. Some companies already have a strategy for digital transformation along with a realisable roadmap, but it's not going to be a smooth ride. This journey is likely to be punctuated with setbacks and unexpected barriers, so we must adopt industry best practices and learn from others' experiences. We have to address challenges and adapt to new requirements with dexterity at every step.

Today many nations in Africa and in the world, have national flags, national anthems and celebrate what they call Independence Day, which is when they claim they got independence from some long dead European colonial empire of the western world. Their national anthems are written in the metropolitan languages of the long dead European empires, languages which most of their citizens do not understand.
The national anthems and "independence" might mean something for the often-Afropean educated elite but means little to the traditional African in the village commune. But the reality begs the question, are any of these countries independent or sovereign in any meaningful way? What guarantees their so-called sovereignty or independence? The glib tongued mostly western educated automatons will proclaim in grave terms in European languages that international law guarantees their national sovereignty and independence. They might even quote for you, copious sections of so-called international law with an arrogant professorial tone reminiscent of a well-trained monkey spouting intelligent sounding nonsense.
But the real crux of the matter is, does international law guarantee real independence and national sovereignty? Or the guarantor of independence is military power?
The current global political architecture which is now outliving its usefulness is anchored in the system of international relations which appeared in 1945 following the end of the Second World War. The kernel of that system was the United Nations which was created by the USA and Soviet Russia and their geopolitical appendages following their victory against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The UN was supposedly designed to serve as a mechanism to solve global issues and guarantee the rights of nations to self-determination and their sovereignty. This right to self-determination was supposedly the legal basis enshrined in international law which allowed the colonial nations in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia to become independent.
This is the fiction that for the most part the educated African will spout in some European language which his traditional African living in the village will not understand. But what was the reality underpinning the independence of these states after World War II. The "independence" of these countries came about due to the contradictions in the international system, contradictions arising out of the power struggle between two different world systems, Soviet Russian communism and American capitalism locked in a global struggle for power. It was in the vacuum created by the power struggle between these two world systems that many independent countries today obtained their independence.
Soon after independence, many of these countries became a battle ground for influence between the Eastern block and the Western block. So-called international law did not protect any of these states from the proxy wars or battles of the Super Powers during the Cold War. Did the end of the Cold War usher in an era of non-intervention in the affairs of these states? The emphatic answer is no. We see the first contours of the post-cold war world and the Washington consensus with its real face in the 1990s with the NATO bombing and destruction of Yugoslavia arguably the most powerful state in Eastern Europe. Many misinformed educated Africans might regurgitate the western vomit of dictatorial and repressive government in the Yugoslavia. Russia's weakness in the 1990s due to the collapse of 1991 prevented it from defending the sovereignty of Yugoslavia.
But let us come closer to home in Africa. We start with Sudan in the 1990s. Sudan was also supposedly an independent state having obtained independence from Britain. On August 20, 1998 the US under the liberal "humanitarian" president Clinton bombed the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan under the spurious claim that it was producing chemical weapons. It was supposedly in revenge for Osama Bin Laden's bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. According to the book, Superpredator: Bill Clinton's Use and Abuse of Black America, the Al Shifa factory was the largest manufacturer of medicines in Sudan producing more than half of Sudan's pharmaceutical drugs and specializing in anti-malarial drugs.
After the bombing of the factory, then US Secretary of State Madeline Albright who now claims she is ready to become a Muslim was instrumental in killing a report saying that the bombing was unjustified. Another report about the factory Al Shifa says that it was the only one producing TB drugs for tens of thousands of patients for a minuscule fraction of the cost of a comparable drug from a western pharmaceutical company. Up till today the factory has not been rebuilt, no compensation paid and no apology for an unjustified act of war from the so-called leader of the free world as our miseducated Africans will intone. There was no universal condemnation of this act of war on a sovereign country. No international law came to help the Sudan defend itself against this act of war. If Sudan had had a powerful military deterrent, the US would not have dared commit this act of aggression.
Let us look at another example closer home to Ghana in the Ivory Coast. Alassane Ouattara, a petty mediocre French stooge, was steamrolled into the presidency in a disputed presidential election in 2011 by French forces with President Gbagbo arrested and handed over to a kangaroo court called the International Criminal Court. Gbagbo had begun to court China and move out of the French neocolonial orbit seeking a multi-vector foreign policy and reducing dependence on France which was raping Ivory Coast to the tune of hundreds of millions of Euros a year. If Ivory Coast had the military power to prevent the installation of a petty French stooge as president, French troops could not have done what they did with impunity in a sovereign country.
The third example is Libya with Gaddafi. Libya was one of the most prosperous countries in Africa if not the most prosperous. In 2011 under a false pretext of saving people in Benghazi from a so-called massacre by Gaddafi's forces, Barack Obama then US president decorated with a Noble Peace Prize dog chain ordered a NATO intervention in Libya which resulted in the destruction of the country and its descent into a failed state currently in the throes of a civil war with three competing governments. ISIS now has a warm home in Libya from where it can carry out its maniacal barbaric mission. We recall that Libya under Gaddafi made a fateful mistake in 2003 to give up its nuclear weapons program under a deal with the West in return for its return to the so-called international community. The West trampled on so-called international law to destroy the Libyan state and its sovereignty. If Libya had a powerful military to deter western attacks, the West would not have dared to attack her.
The cold hard fact of international relations is this, only military power guarantees independence and national sovereignty. But maybe one more international relations fact will make it abundantly clear to the still naïve.
Three years ago, following the referendum of the autonomous Republic of Crimea which was then within the Ukraine and its reunification with Russia, the US and its western mini me vassal states refused to accept the democratic choice of the Crimean people. According to a documentary, Crimea – The Way Home shown on Russian TV, in an account related by Russian President Vladimir Putin, an American warship began to stream toward Crimea to enter its territorial waters. The Russians then readied their coastal defense missile system called the Bastion armed with missiles capable of sinking aircraft carrier groups and made sure that American satellites could see it from space. The US warship quickly turned away from its course back into international waters and very far away from the Crimea. Only Russian hard military power deterred an American invasion of the Republic of the Crimea and the trampling of its recently declared sovereignty.
The examples presented here support the axiom that the only international law which protects independence and national sovereignty is a missile capable of causing unacceptable damage to the jackals constantly braying at the door of independent countries.
We will end with the cold hard words of George F Kennan one of the key foreign policy architects that formulated US foreign policy after World War II. This is what he said in 1948:
"We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its population… In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction…. We should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives [such] as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratisation. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better."
Therefore, the earlier we in Africa disabuse ourselves of idealistic slogans of international law and human rights, the better for us. The only guarantor of independence and sovereignty are not meaningless marches and Independence Day cloths embroidered with African designs but hard military power serving defensive purposes and acting as a deterrent to the jackals in the North Atlantic and their mini me vassals.

Meet Becky Giombi of RitzHolman CPAs
YNPN Milwaukee's June Featured Member
What is your experience in the nonprofit sector?
After college, I spent a year in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps-Northwest volunteering as a garden and fresh foods program coordinator at a food pantry in Tacoma, Washington. Currently, I work as an accountant at RitzHolman CPAs doing audits of nonprofit organizations in the Milwaukee area. I'm also a Master Gardener Volunteer with the UW-Extension program in Milwaukee County.
In the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Becky coordinated the planting of an orchard to provide more fresh fruit to food pantry clients.
What is your favorite nonprofit event or program?
I was privileged to attend the WWBIC (Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corp) Annual Luncheon event this past fall and found it to be one of the most inspiring nonprofit events I've been to. WWBIC clients shared stories of the struggles they overcame to start their businesses or achieve financial independence for themselves and their families. Businesses that have been supported by WWBIC also showcased their products and services at a fair at the event.
Who do you look up to as a professional mentor or role model?
I consider Andy Holman, one of the partners at my firm, to be a professional role model. He is a wealth of knowledge on all nonprofit financial matters, and he is driven by his passion for helping nonprofits to be sustainable and successful in doing good work in our community.
How has networking proven beneficial to you?
The nonprofit sector in Milwaukee is so interconnected because of the size of the city, and I think this gives us an opportunity to work together in way that wouldn't be possible in some cities. I've enjoyed networking with other nonprofit professionals because there's an immediate shared interest and common motivation, and there's always something to learn from each other.
How did you become involved with YNPN Milwaukee?
I knew of YNPN from attending an event a few years ago and wanted to get more involved after being exposed to more nonprofits in my current role at RitzHolman.
Connect with Becky!

YOUR SELF CONTENTMENT IN THE PLACE OF GOD. You are the only one, and yes you are the original one. People of telly admire other and wants to give overprint by the following someone. The facts are the mirror to you and can't be miss leaded.
Take a journey to you to be yourself at every point in your life. It will create your life based on your imprint. There is one soul inbuilt to every creature. When you are at the peak of yourself, it is important to lead a happy life. Satisfaction the only gift you get in return. Thus it is important to leave any stone untouched. You aplomb and your spirit are you best friends. Live life as if there is no tomorrow to life. Impress yourself challenge yourself at every point why there is no fun in living life where there is no passion for being own self. Congregation to lead a lie for others and help others at any cost
There is a confidence in being you and I feel it is significant to lead a true life.
Today I realised that life does not by anything you just have to keep on moving with true spirits. That the spirits of being truthful to yourself. Problem are not biggest you just keep moving and don't stop in believe yourself till your last breath .

Hey folks, I'm going to break the habit of a life time here and actually tell you about an event in enough time to make plans for it. Usually I'm a failmeister and only announce these things at the very last minute but I'm trying to fix that, so here goes. Next month there will be a release party for the new version of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope, terrible name if you ask me) at the BBC in Manchester (UK), Friday 24th April at 7pm. I'll be attending, barring any natural disasters and if you're within easy traveling distance we'd love to see you there too. Perhaps even if you're not within easy traveling distance but are ridiculously committed you could also come, don't put yourself out too much though.
It's all being fantastically organised by Lucy Bridges of Manchester Free Software fame. It's really great that the BBC have agreed to host the event in their bar and a big thanks go to Ian Forrester of BBC Backstage for this. The address is New Broadcasting House, Oxford Road, Manchester M60 1SJ. Here's the OpenStreetMap details:
…and here's the Google Map for those of us who hate freedom. If this offends you please avert your eyes and for the love of god keep scrolling, scroll like you've never scrolled before man (or woman)!!
Ok so that's the details out of the way. There's no dress code that I know of and if you wait in the reception of the BBC building someone will come and escort you upstairs to the bar; tell one of the staff why you're there though, that might help. Obviously if you turn up in your mankini or leather chaps they might have something to say about it but most outfits should be fine. You don't have to be an Ubuntu user to come, you don't even have to like Ubuntu that much (for all you haters out there). It's a night of Free Software and fun, whatever your distribution or denomination. There's an Upcoming event and also a Facebook event about this as well.
Apologies to folks in other parts of the world for whom this information is largely irrelevant but there may be a release party near you, have a look on the Ubuntu site and perhaps join a local party… for local people 😉
Hope to see some of you there to enjoy some drinks and geekery together,
Important: – Please see Lucy's comment below and be sure to let her know if you're coming to the event. This is a BBC requirement to comply with fire regulations. You don't have to give anything other than a name, no official ID. Send a message via Identi.ca or add yourself to the Facebook or Upcoming events. Thank you! 🙂

Paris Women's Fashion Week F/W 2018 Part 3
Givenchy F/W 2018
Clare Waight Keller as a designer used to be all about the day. Her Chloe woman was always exploring new frontiers and her design inspirations were often feminist motorcycle riders or other adventurous type gals. They were not too sexy but always brainy and looked like the lived a full and long day because they slept at night. Already with her teaser campaign by Steven Meisel featuring a black cat, Waight Keller was telegraphing that she was now ready to explore her naughtier side and make clothes for evening and night. In fact, a clear and clever concept. And with this new co-ed collection, her second for the house, shown at Palais de Justice on a rainy Sunday morning she pleased the editors of this Berlin based magazine by taking a trip through Berlin nightlife via her collection. The soundtrack featured a radio speaker announcing a party summit in East Germany with deep baselines as foundation.
Fake fur?
While we see more fur than ever on the fall runways, Waight Keller is of the politically correct school and only uses fake. Her opening look was fox colored with black stripes insinuating that the woman was naked underneath and only showed her ankle booties with long zippers followed by two more big volume coats on regal black beauties. The element of protecting her woman as she wanders through the night was apparent in the entire line-up.
In her own words?
"I wanted to start with a really protective look like fur and then slowly undress this woman with flashes of lingerie and a make her a little bit sleazy." Well, it's not often that a designer manages to give the word sleazy a good spin. We would call it subversive sex instead.
The new Givenchy fetish fabric?
Clearly, it's all about leather now. Lots of it in black as in pants, giant anoraks with cut off sleeves and lots of cool bombers for men.
The ending?
Waight Keller saved some of the best for the end when it became clear that Givenchy is an Haute Couture house. One look in black and white featured a giant black bow around the torso and the finale of cascading ruffle dresses in shiny fabrics concluded the story of a woman's journey through the night: Now she was on the dance floor.

World High Purity Alumina Sector Assessed by Industry Experts in New Market Research Report Available at MarketPublishers.com
01 Apr 2016 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – The demand for high purity alumina has been growing in the recent past, specifically in areas that are likely to register high growth rates, like display materials, energy, automobiles, semiconductors and computers.
The demand for high purity alumina has been on the rise in some of the comparatively smaller applications also owing to its versatility. For example, translucent high purity alumina ceramics find use in sodium lamps that utilise an electric gas discharge in sodium vapour for producing light. High purity alumina ceramics are employed in manufacturing the luminous tubes, as they are tolerant to any reaction with high-temperature sodium vapour. Enhanced luminance and efficiency of sodium vapour lamps as against incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps render them extremely effective in illuminating outdoor spaces like streets, roads and public facilities, alongside factories and sporting venues and being utilised as light sources for horticulture.
Geography-wise, APAC is the dominant market for high purity alumina with its value standing at USD 1.7 billion as of 2015 and forecast to reach the USD 2 billion mark by 2016; the region is also forecast to be the most rapidly expanding market recording a robust 13.5% CAGR through to 2022 to reach a projected USD 4.3 billion by 2022.
New report "High Purity Alumina – A Global Market Overview" elaborated by Industry Experts reviews, assesses and forecasts the high purity alumina market worldwide, by region and countries (covering 12 independent nations) during 2012-2022. The study explores, in values and volumes, the various high purity alumina product segments, comprising 4N, 5N and 6N. It also evaluates, in volume and value terms, the key applications of high purity alumina, encompassing LEDs, semiconductors, phosphor-based as well as industrial and other applications. An insightful analysis of the key market and business trends is included. The research study profiles the top 8 global players and 18 leading players across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The research also contains a global list of the companies involved in the production and supply of high purity alumina, covering the addresses, contact telephone numbers and the web site addresses of 81 firms.

Governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region share many of the same challenges in meeting public service demands. They all, for example, build roads, purchase medical supplies, and construct schools. And yet, for many years, those responsible for the systems and policies used to purchase these goods or services (referred to as public procurement) have been unable to share their knowledge, challenges and solutions in a systematic and sustainable way.
In June 2013, all this changed.
With World Bank assistance, government-nominated representatives from eight countries in the region, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Djibouti, Egypt, and the Palestinian Territories established the MENA Network of Public Procurement Experts. Libya has since joined the effort. The World Bank's MENA Procurement Team has been critical to the birth and development of this initiative, under the leadership of Regional Procurement Manager Yolanda Tayler and the guidance of Director of Strategy and Operations Gerard Byam.
According to Mr. Tarek El-Salem, Senior Training Manager at the Arab Administrative Development Organization (ARADO) of the Arab League, the Network addresses an urgent, regional need. He noted that, "The network is a great chance to tackle an important, often-neglected issue that most MENA region countries suffer from - the lack of a unified practice in the field of public procurement and the urgent need for capacity building."
While designed to give these experts a common platform for exchanging their knowledge and experiences, the Network also endorsed two priority areas for regional collaboration at its inaugural meeting, namely: the development of capacity in the procurement workforce, and the modernization of procurement tools. In the short time since then, the Network has made substantial strides towards implementing these targeted regional initiatives, and promoting transformational changes in the medium- and long-term.
In a subsequent gathering held at the end of November in Tunisia, the Network added a third priority area of collaboration by approving the creation of a new and innovative initiative dedicated to improving business opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in government contracting. All three initiatives, led by subcommittees, were also strengthened through the addition of supporting Network members from other countries that will help in the implementation efforts.
