Frost & Sullivan Commends Ozone Networks for its Unrivalled March to the Top of the Indian Public Wi-Fi Market
25 Aug, 2015, 09:30 BST
The company's discerning eye for market, network and technological expansion opportunities sets it apart
CHENNAI, India, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the public Wi-Fi services market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Ozone Networks with the 2015 Indian Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Award. Ozone Networks is one of India's leading Wi-Fi service providers, catering to mobile and Internet operators, system integrators, luxury hotels, boutique hospitals, and public Wi-Fi hotspots. Through its innovative technologies, the firm provides reliable and affordable Internet access to approximately 44 million people each month.
With government plans for nationwide digitisation gaining momentum and the ever-rising demand for mobile data services gathering pace in India, the scope for Ozone to increase customer interactions on its network is huge. Understanding this, the company is playing an active role in the development of mobile networks. It aims to bridge the infrastructure gaps that curb the delivery of high-speed Internet services.
"Recognising the vast potential for expansion, Ozone intends to set up 1 million hotspots in India by 2020," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Suraj Godse. "As the first step toward following through on its vision, Ozone is partnering with Ericsson to establish 30,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the length and breadth of the country."
Ozone's pioneering technologies have swung the market in its favour. Ozone Connect, which is a Wi-Fi auto-connection manager app, was successfully launched on Android. With the help of this app, registered users are automatically connected to a public Wi-Fi hotspot in its range. While competitors concentrate on standalone networks, Ozone is the only provider building neutral Wi-Fi networks in India. This small-cell-as-a-service model enables operators to boost network capacity and avoid congestion by seamlessly off-loading data for operators.
Beyond network and technological advancements, Ozone places immense emphasis on user experience in terms of connectivity and services. The organisation has partnered with SpeedFetch, a first-of-its-kind micro-caching application that provides speedy access to content without an Internet connection.
"In addition, Ozone has seized the first-mover advantage by entering into long-term contracts with businesses such as coffee chains and airports, thus creating premier Wi-Fi hotspots across India," noted Godse. "Ozone is also looking to capitalise on the smart city proposals of the Indian government."
Ozone's commitment to delivering seamless data connectivity and bolstering data networks continues to strengthen its value proposition in the wake of the escalating prospects in the Indian public Wi-Fi market.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in terms of growth strategy and implementation. The award recognises a high degree of innovation with products and technologies, and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

|Culture Department
|Pointe To Point, Asia-Europe Dance Forum
|Tokyo (Japan)
The 3rd Asia-Europe Dance Forum, `Pointe to Point', was held from 6th-13th September, 2005 in Tokyo, Japan. The Thinking behind the programme branding Pointe to Point is to emphasise the significance of dance as a medium of communication that reflects constantly changing society, thus, raising and articulating issues to encourage cultural dialogue and exchange. Pointe to Point is committed to providing young people a process-oriented platform for creative exchange and dialogue through dance.
For 2005's Pointe to Point, 22 young artists from 16 countries; Cambodia, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Thailand dealt with the theme, "localism" to explore the amalgamation of dance and new media. Each one presented his/her own realities and situation addressing what it meant to be local, employing areas in contemporary dance and through collaborative artistic expression with space design, sound and lighting technology, and interactive photography installation.
The collaboration towards the creation of media and bodily movements was facilitated by Naoto lina (founding director of Dance and Media Japan and dance curator for Pointe to Point), together with Japanese choreographer Anna, German media team; Walkscreen, and Japan's RE (Responsive Environment).
ASEF worked in Partnership with Dance and Media Japan (DMJ) and the Tokyo Performing Arts Markets (TPAM) to realise this project.
Pointe to Point was funded through the European Commission's programme 2005 EU-Japan Year of People-to-People Exchange with support from the following institutions: Goethe Institute-Tokyo, Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Japan Foundation.
Highlights of the project are featured in a publication and video produced by ASEF and the Japan Foundation.
Donna Miranda (Philippines) "Coming home was a bit emotional for me, I wanted to savor the experience and didn't want to write about being far away from you all. I had the best experience in Tokyo, being in this unrecognisable space, trying to fit in and walking on the left side of the road, reading unrecognisable signs, everything was so different but I liked it. I liked it best because I spent these times with you and working with you. Thank you for sharing your life, passion and dedication to the art with me, Thank you for your generosity."
"I'm back in Indonesia, the super-hot Jakarta, back to my daily life. Kind of settled again already. I haven't really. Trying to think of what the forum was for me, or how it affected me, but... Come to think of how I feel right now after the exchange workshop? It has changed me for sure. In what way I don't know. In all way I guess: me as a person, and me as a dancer, Although we probably think that 'one person is a dancer and one dancer is a person.' But as for now, I do feel the separation between them, in a good way though.
And, as I was saying, this forum changed the whole me, not just pieces of me. Which direction will lead me, who knows? Meeting all of you, being with all of you. I feel like I'm taking bits of everyone home. Which made me richer somehow but also confused in a way. I don't know how you all feel, but this was my first experience. So, I really took in everything without giving myself any boundaries. It's up to me now to balance it. But for this, what I'm feeling now, what I am now. I want to thank each of you for un-consciously filling me up with whatever there is."

That was shit. Dreamer Deceiver was the best...
Yeah, thatz pretty low T & energy, damned heroin <not even once, kids>. Teenage Japanese girls gave that metal song the energy it demanded. Almost 40 years after the fact. <Someone get the old codger his wheelchair and O2 STAT, DESU!>
I was about the age of the one on the left when I listened to Judas Priest so maybe yeah, sure.
So... you were 30?
More like nine. Do you have a difficult time with captions and pictures? I'm not judging, just trying to figure out if I'm talking to a fucking retard or not.
I'm trying to recall if Art ever used Priest bumpers? He should've because they also like the "quittening" business model. I still go because maybe it will really be the final tour and they still rock. One would think that is the case but I will note that DIO is going to tour with Ronnie James as an hologram, so maybe now touring can never really end?Considering the amount of $ spent and laws shouldn't the NSA, the National Archives, ISPs/CellularNetworks, or physical storage on devices or somebody have access to all the deleted emails? Why should the public accept that government agencies can conveniently lose documents when there is no way those same agencies would accept such excuses by businesses or individuals?http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/23/sessions-investigation-missing-fbi-antitrump-texts/
The link says they're anti Trump texts...If they're missing, how does anyone know they're anti Trump?
More like nine. Do you have a difficult time with captions and pictures? Not judging, just trying to figure out if I'm talking to a fucking retard or not.
This is the worst gangbang ever.
It was a joke. Asian wimmen/gurlz look younger than their actual chronological age. When that picture was taken in 2010-2011, the two girls on the outside are 12-13. The girl in the center is 14-15. Currently in 2018 they are 18, and 20 years old. The video I posted was made in 2016. I had to look all that up. <Thanks, Google-Sama>Needless to say you missed the point, and in turn the joke. <Sigh>
OK. Sorry I thought you might be retarded. I'll remember to google everything you imply next time.
Alexa might be able to help with that, but Cortana gets confused.
Oh, great! Now I have to get an Alexa. Isn't that something that listens to everything you say or does it just turn on when you say it's name?
It has to be on to hear its name, right?
OK. Sorry I thought you might be retarded. I'll remember to google everything you imply next time.
It has to be on to hear its name, right? I dont own one.
I thought the obvious over exaggeration of age would be self-explanatory, at least to anyone who isn't "retarded." My bad. I'll try not to drop the bread crumbs so far apart. In hopes the more special among us won't get lost so easily. Even the retard Kizuna Ai picked up what I was putting down, thats why he posted the pic. Hurp. Durp. Durp.

More than ten years after 9/11, there is still remarkable lack of consensus among analysts' assessments of al Qaeda's current condition and future capabilities. Almost every issue is debated: Whether America has won the operational battle but lost the ideological contest; whether homegrown terrorism is a growing threat; whether maintaining American troops in Afghanistan is essential; whether the United States ought to declare on its own an end to the war on al Qaeda. Part of the debate is driven by political agendas, but the arguments derive from the fact that al Qaeda is many things at once and must be viewed in all of its various dimensions. This essay examines a number of these issues in light of recent developments — the death of Osama bin Laden, the Arab Spring, and the American withdrawal from Iraq. In each case, it drives toward a bottom line. In the final analysis, it is a personal view.

Earlier this year I attended a debate between a biblical creationist and a humanist; during the Q&A time, an atheist posed the question: "If God is good, how could He be so capricious as to wipe out all those innocent people in the Flood."
This is not an uncommon objection raised by people who do not believe in the God of the Bible.
However, this objection does not take time to consider the biblical context of the Flood or to think about one's own presuppositions. For example, atheists have no basis with which to question the character of God, given that they have no objective moral foundation on which to do so. Morality for an atheist is just a matter of opinion. It is also important to remember that, when atheists read the text of Scripture, they do not believe that God exists or that He reveals Himself to people. The people in the biblical narrative then are judged by the atheists as if God has not revealed Himself. Ultimately, atheists are not critiquing what the Bible says, but rather they are critiquing a misrepresentation of the biblical event.
As Christians we need to consider the account of the Flood (and other judgement passages) in light of what the Bible states about God and humanity:
- God is the sovereign Creator and therefore has the right to do what He pleases (Psalm 135:6).
- God is holy, just, righteous, gracious, merciful, compassionate, and loving (Isaiah 6:3; Genesis 18:25; Exodus 34:6–7; John 3:16).
- God created a very good world (Genesis 1:31).
- The world we now live in is a fallen, sin-cursed world (Genesis 3).
- There are no truly good people (i.e., good by God's standard) since we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:9–18, 23).
- We do not deserve God's mercy; we deserve God's justice and wrath (Psalm 103:10, 130:3; Romans 6:23).
The Reason for the Flood
In Genesis 6 God gives the reason for His judgement of the world in the days of Noah:
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. . . . The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. (Genesis 6:5, 11–12)
The judgement at the time of the Flood was not a result of God's supposed capriciousness; rather He had several reasons for His judgement:
- The wickedness of man.
- Every intent of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil continually.
- The earth was corrupt.
- The earth was filled with violence.
- All flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Despite man's wickedness, God showed Himself to be gracious in that He patiently waited, presumably for people to repent, while the Ark was being prepared (1 Peter 3:20). Unfortunately, despite the testimony of Noah, a preacher of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5, Hebrews 11:7), the people went about their daily affairs, unconcerned and unsuspecting of the Flood that came and destroyed them (Matthew 24:39).
The Coming Judgement
We need to remember that just as God judged the whole world in the days of Noah, He has also promised to do so again (Matthew 24:37–39, 25:31–32; 2 Peter 3:3–7). The good news is that, just as God provided a means of salvation (the Ark) in the days of Noah, He has provided a means of salvation from the future judgement through the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12, 17:30–31; Romans 10:9).
God was patient in the days of Noah, and He is patient today. The fact that Jesus has not already returned means salvation is still available to people (2 Corinthians. 6:2; 2 Peter 3:15), which should be a reminder to us as Christians to make the most of every opportunity to witness about our Saviour.

It's almost crunch time. October 16th is right around the corner. I've spent almost 40 hours scouting for moose in the last month. So far I've seen (2) bulls, both young. The first was about 200 yards away, The second was Saturday morning at about 15 yards. That was pretty exciting. I think he heard me stumbling through the thicket and thought I was another moose. The wind was completely wrong for the direction he was coming from and I'm sure he winded me. He just walked off.
I picked up Guthros' Moose Madness Quick Fix DVD to learn the sounds I should use to call. It's only 2-hours long but it put me to sleep. I can't imagine trying to stay awake for the 6-hour version. C'mon Alex, pick it up a little! There's some great instructional information and I need to watch it again. I'm dreading it.
I scouted for 11 hours straight on Sunday, covering close to 20 miles of territory looking for fresh tracks and other sign. Very disappointing. The area I covered should've held moose. It looks perfect. Only one old track. It looks so good I may go back and try calling to see if they are somewhere close. Right now I have three good spots to try. I have yet to see a cow, which is what I'm looking for. The rut should be going good right about now and I haven't heard a cow bawl yet. It's gonna be a tough hunt and I'm thinking I should take the CO's advice...."shoot the first moose you see".

If the customer experience (CX) efforts of most companies continue down the path they're on, they're likely to fail. Why? Because these efforts often ignore a critical component: emotion. Some companies get it. Amazon, Apple, and JetBlue all score well in Temkin Group's Emotion Ratings. That they're also wildly successful is no coincidence.
Every time customers interact with your company, their experience is perceived along three dimensions: (1) success, or what they can accomplish; (2) effort, or how hard or easy it is for them to accomplish it; and (3) emotion, or how they feel about an interaction. To fully understand your customers' experience, you must focus on all three.
In Temkin Group Research's "State of CX Metrics 2015" report, nearly 200 respondents from large companies rated their organizations' ability to measure different elements of CX. Here are the results:
• Forty-nine percent are "good" or "very good" at measuring success.
• Forty-two percent are "good" or "very good" at measuring effort.
• Twenty-six percent are "good" or "very good" at measuring emotion.
Comparing results from the previous year, the ability to measure success improved, but the ability to measure effort and emotion stayed the same. To recap: Companies are about twice as effective measuring success as they are measuring emotion, and nearly three quarters of organizations are not good at measuring emotion.
This shouldn't be a surprise. Most professionals have worked on projects with functional requirements (which generally define the success criteria), but how many of you have been involved with projects that define emotional requirements? How many discussions have you had in your organization about your customers' emotions? I'm guessing that the answer is close to "none."
Emotion should clearly be considered, but to what degree? Another Temkin report, "ROI of Customer Experience 2015," examined the connection between CX and loyalty for 10,000 U.S. consumers and nearly 300 companies across 20 industries. The correlation between the Temkin Experience Ratings (a metric that combines success, effort, and emotion) and the likelihood consumers will repurchase was very high (a Pearson correlation of 0.84, if you're wondering).
It was interesting to look at the relationship between loyalty and each component of CX; strikingly, emotion had a more significant connection to all measures of loyalty we examined, including these:
Buying more. Eight-seven percent of consumers who gave a high rating for emotion were likely to make multiple purchases, compared to 13 percent of those who gave a low rating. That 74-percentage-point gap exceeds the one for success (66) and effort (67).
Recommending to friends. Seventy-six percent of consumers who gave a high rating for emotion were promoters, compared to 6 percent of those who gave a low rating. That 70-point gap exceeds the one for success (58) and effort (61).
Forgiving. Sixty-three percent of consumers who gave a high emotion rating were likely to forgive a company's mistakes, compared to 11 percent of those giving a low rating. That 52-point gap exceeds the one for success (42) and effort (45).
Clearly, improving the emotional component of CX pays dividends. Just take a look at the Temkin Emotion Ratings (a subset of the Temkin Experience Ratings): Besides Amazon, Apple, and JetBlue, the leaders include Chick-fil-A, Lexus, and PetSmart. These companies understand the importance of forging an emotional bond with customers.
Here are a few tips to help get you started doing likewise. First, talk about customers' emotions. We need to get more comfortable dealing with the topic. Make customer emotions a regular and integral part of customer experience discussions. Second, do more qualitative research. Analytics are important, but emotion often gets lost when our focus turns to percentages and statistical significance. And finally, focus on the customer journey. Keep in mind that customers often have more important goals than just completing an interaction.

The Greatly Misunderstood Risks of Investing
publication date: Aug 12, 2010
In my prior work as a financial counselor and teaching adult education classes, when it came to investing, I repeatedly saw vast misunderstandings and gaps in knowledge when it came to understanding investing risks. Most people understood risks which were easy and simple to observe such as the risk of stock prices dropping sharply in a short period of time or the stability of your investment dollars in a short-term bank CD or government Treasury bill.
But people inevitably overlooked less obvious risks, especially those which played out over longer periods of time. More on this in a moment.
The severe stock market decline that ended in 2009 and the increasing chorus on pundits being interviewed in the media or blogging online has made the situation even worse in my view. I find more people paralyzed and fearful now and looking for a system to beat the system.
You turn on cable television and flip channels and you'll hear "experts" talking about the faltering economy, rising gold prices, faltering U.S. dollar, bankrupt governments, which stocks to buy now and sell now, etc. Online blogs are just as problematic with endless discussions about jumping into and out of various investments and other market timing moves.
Getting Back to Basics
Some in the media and blogosphere are simply preying on people's fears and engaging in trickery to create an illusion that they know the right times to jump into and out of specific investments. Most such folks are small time, active money managers who are hustling to build their businesses.
Risks can be worrisome. But, do you think about all the bad things that could happen to you every time you get into your car? And, simply worrying doesn't accomplish anything except to raise your blood pressure and cause people to stay in their homes to avoid perceived risks.
By understanding risks and how to minimize them, you can become a better investor and have more peace of mind. So, let's start with some basics about investing and then we'll talk about risks.
An investment is something you put your money into, in the hopes of collecting or withdrawing more in the future. All money, therefore, is in some sort of investment, even what's put in "parking places" such as bank accounts or money market funds.
Sometimes people make the mistake of feeling as if their money is wasting away or not "invested" if it's in a parking place. (I noticed far more people thinking that in the late 1990s after many years of strong stock market returns.) They may rush to invest the money elsewhere with the hope of earning a higher return. Later, they may find that these seemingly more attractive investments were also riskier. The risk is that the investment can and sometimes does decline in value. Some investments are riskier, or more volatile, in value.
There's nothing wrong with taking risk. In fact, an investor needs to accept risk in order to have the potential for earning a higher return. However, with some money, you should try to protect and take little or no risk with it. For example, your "emergency reserve" money should not be in an investment subject to fluctuations in value. This money should be "parked" someplace secure and accessible.
There's also a risk in not taking enough risk. Consider investing for retirement. In order to be able to retire, you'll need a certain amount of money saved. If the money you're accumulating is invested too conservatively and grows too slowly, you will need to work more years before you can afford retirement. So, in addition to understanding the different investments available, you also need to select those investments that meet your particular needs.
Comparing Investment Risks
It is helpful to discuss the major dimensions on which investments differ from one another. First, investments may produce current income, typically in the form of interest or dividends (which are paid out profits to corporate stockholders). If, for example, you place your money in a bank certificate of deposit that matures in one year, the bank might pay, 0.75 percent interest. Likewise, if you invest in a treasury note issued by the federal government, which matures in ten years, you may be paid, say, 2.7 percent interest.
Other types of investments, in contrast, may be more growth oriented and not pay much, if any, current income. A growth investment is one that has good potential to increase in value in the future.
Investments that are more growth oriented, such as real estate or stocks (investments in companies), allow you to share in the success of a specific company or local economy in general. The yield on a good stock from its dividend typically is well below the interest rate paid on a decent corporate bond but some stocks do offer decent dividend yields.
Income oriented investments, on the other hand, such as treasury bills, don't allow you to profit when the company or organization profits. When you lend your money to an organization, such as by purchasing bonds, the best that can happen is that the organization will repay your principal with interest.
Some other dimensions on which investments differ from one another include:
- Exposure to inflation. Some investments are more resistant to increases in the cost of living. For example, the purchasing power of money invested in bonds that pay a fixed rate of interest, can be eroded by a rise in inflation. By contrast, the value of investments such as real estate and precious metals, such as gold and silver, often benefit from higher inflation. Especially when investing for longer periods of time, it's important to diversify your investments to include those that are inflation resistant.
- Taxability. Apart from investments in tax-sheltered retirement accounts, the interest or dividends produced by investments are generally taxable. The profits (known as capital gains) from selling an investment at a higher price than it was purchased for are also taxable.
- Sensitivity to currency and local economic issues. Not all investments move in concert with the health and performance of the U.S. economy. Investments in overseas securities allow you to participate directly in economic growth internationally as well as diversify against the risk of economic problems in the U.S. International securities are susceptible, however, to currency value fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Because foreign economies and currency values don't always move in tandem with ours, investing overseas helps to dampen the overall volatility of your portfolio. Investing in U.S. companies that operate worldwide serves a similar purpose.
You can't control risks or eliminate them but a number of sensible steps can greatly reduce them. That's why I have long advocated investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks worldwide (along with real estate and small business for long-term growth potential) and some bonds, the portion of which depends upon your station in life and desire to accept shorter-term risk. Use the best professional money managers and index funds. I have favored value oriented stocks as well because they tend to be less volatile and produce higher long-term returns thanks in part to their higher dividend yields and better valuation.
You should also be mindful of your financial information diet. Just as with food, more isn't better and quality matters more than quantity. By all means, listen to folks who don't agree with one another but be wary of hyped, extreme predictions (see the Guru Watch section for many examples) and those with a financial agenda in their recommendations. Be especially wary of those managing money whose implicit message is that they actively trade and their crystal ball enables them to beat the best money managers.

text: I am having a problem with the sequential number generator inside of Enterprise PDM 2009. We are using the generator to pull numbers for our ECN forms (engineering change notices). Each number follows the same format (ex: 0123-09) the 09 is for the year and the 123 is supposed to be pulled sequentially next would be 124, 125 etc. We use the template manager to create an individual folder, rename the document to the ECN # and place it in it own folder. The problem we are having is every once in a while the number generator will duplicatea number that has already been used. Since we have must use unique names inside of our vault the generator will change the -09 to -092. This will only happen once and then it will continue on in the correct order. Could this be a connection error for the user?

The View tv show. Elizabeth should stay home. While she was gone the program was easy to listen to, educational, enjoyable, entertaining but now there are three of four people talking over each other again which is super annoying to the point where I switch channels. You can't hear clearly what is being said. Whoopi please come back. I've missed you these days as you kept everything in order and you exemplify true intelligence and a sense of humour. Elizabeth's (aka Survivor Elizabeth) views are all lopsided and she appears to be on the show just to stir stupid shit or am I being naive.

- Product Review (submitted on 14 December 2018):
- I have tried many masks over the years, but this one is, by far, the best. It's easy to put on, easy to adjust, and most importantly once on, you can hardly feel you're wearing it. Since the air "escape" valve sits on top of your head, rather than around the mask itself, it also substantially reduces any draughts on your face.

So, I'm sitting at the computer working, Isaiah is doing home work and Isaac in his room… my husband sitting on the sofa, picks up a piano lesson book my son brought home. Before we know it he is singing, (in his best Judy Garland voice) "Somewhere over the rain bow, way up high, there's a place that I dreamed of once in a lullaby, both hands now!" And he starts laughing and says "what is that suppose to mean?" then without missing a beat he continues to sing the song! Working his way through the book singing a line or two from each song he recognizes and making some offhand remark about each. Like a one-man comedy act; all the time the rest of us are giggling to ourselves unbeknownst to him, he is entertaining us without even realizing it. "With Gilligan, the skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, movie star, the professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan's Isle"…. I love my life!

Federer becoming 'Iron Man' of tennis
PARIS — In the dark times in sports, when serial doping, cheating, greed, bad sportsmanship and corruption make you want to switch off for good, there has always been an unfailing rock of good hope to cling to this millennium: the sight of Roger Federer turning tennis into art four times a year at the Grand Slam tournaments.
Never pulled out with injury. Never sent in a sick note. Never couldn't be bothered. Not only is Federer the most successful male player ever, he's also becoming one of the most durable, the iron man of his, indeed any, generation. His presence is as constant at tennis' major tournaments as strawberries and cream at Wimbledon and spectators with bad etiquette at the French Open. (Yelling "Ole!" between points and doing the wave so frequently at changeovers should be punishable by a naked swim in the cold, brown Seine).
From the Australian Open of 2000 to this French Open, Federer has always turned up for work. His streak of 54 consecutive major tournaments, comfortably the longest of any active player, is another trump card in the tennis parlor game "Who is the greatest player of all time?" It's a debate that never gets old, because choosing a clear winner is nigh impossible.
Federer's very strong claim with a record 17 major titles is undermined by the fact that, unlike Don Budge in 1938 and Rod Laver 1962 and 1969, he hasn't completed the Grand Slam, winning all four majors in the same year. Unlike in football, where basic ingredients — 22 players, two goals, one ball — remain constant, comparing eras in tennis is more difficult. Laver doesn't see much resemblance between the game he played with a little wooden racket and modern power tennis, where players thump winners from the back of the court.
Even Federer can't be sure how he would have fared against another "greatest-ever" contender, Bjorn Borg, on the powdery red ochre clay courts of Roland Garros, where the Swede won six titles from 1974-1981.
"It was a different time," Federer said this week. "That's why I never quite know who was the greatest of all time. We will never know how we would have all matched up, because Borg would have played totally different in today's age."
But for consistency at majors, Federer is becoming untouchable. With the French, then Wimbledon and, in August, the U.S. Open, Federer will have played 56 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, sharing the men's record with South Africa's retired Wayne Ferreira. Federer will have the record to himself if he maintains his streak to the Australian Open next January. The men's Open-era record for non-consecutive Grand Slams is 70, played by Fabrice Santoro of France from 1989 to 2010. Federer would have to play every major from now to the 2016 U.S. Open to equal that — not impossible given that he's spoken of wanting to compete at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in that year, when he will turn 35.
Among the iron men of sports, it's hard to convincingly put Federer on the same pedestal as Cal Ripken. To establish his record of 2,632 consecutive baseball games over 16 years, the third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles had to play almost every day during the six-month baseball season. Federer, in comparison, had to be ready, willing and able to compete for a total of eight weeks from January to the end of the U.S. Open in September for what is now the 14th year of his streak. Because of the physical battering and injuries he sustained, another astounding iron-man feat is Brett Favre's 297 straight starts, 321 counting playoffs, as an NFL quarterback. In English football, Ryan Giggs' soon-to-be 24 seasons with Manchester United are mighty impressive, too.
Federer's coach, Paul Annacone, said comparing iron men in team sports and tennis is tricky.
"Cal Ripken's numbers are ridiculous," he said in an interview. "A team sport is different, too. I think sometimes you can get away with playing a little bit injured and, in tennis, it's difficult, because there's no one else out there except you. So it's a little bit like apples and oranges."
"It's worth a conversation but I don't know how comparable they are."
What is clear, however, is that Federer sweated for his longevity. It isn't a mere combination of God-given good genes, good fortune and having a good body for tennis — which are important, too. He has made his own luck. He manages his playing schedule intelligently to avoid physical and mental burnout. He clearly lives and trains well. One can argue about whether his seemingly effortless tennis is mostly the fruit of nature or nurture. Less disputed is that his fine technique spares his body wear and tear. He glides and floats where others strain muscles and sinew.
"He has perfect technique," Santoro said in an interview. "With good technique, you get fewer injuries."
U.S. Open champion Andy Murray missed this French Open with a back injury. Seventh-ranked Juan Martin del Potro also isn't here, laid low by a respiratory virus. Eighth-ranked Jo-Wilfried Tsonga missed the 2010 U.S. Open with a bad knee. Ninth-ranked Richard Gasquet missed Wimbledon in 2010 with a bad back. Rafael Nadal, tennis' Mr. Brute Force, missed the last two majors with a creaky left knee. One cannot help but worry that the pounding Nadal gives his body, chasing every ball, always in top gear, makes it only a matter of time before the 11-time major winner breaks down for good.
"Rafa has to play 100 percent always. He needs to be fit 100 percent to play his best," said Feliciano Lopez, who is playing his 45th consecutive major at Roland Garros, the second-longest active streak after Federer's 54.
"Roger, with the way he plays, he can play winners from everywhere, he can serve incredible, he can go to the net. So the effort is less."
Federer doesn't play one or two matches before being knocked out. Far more often than not during his streak, he played into the second week at majors, reaching the very last day — the final — 24 times. That mountain of matches — 288 before this French Open, to be precise — is many more than Ferreira played in his 56-major tournament streak (winning zero titles) which Federer looks set to soon overhaul.
"He's done a great job throughout his career of taking care of his body and prioritizing his schedule so that he gives himself the best chance at the majors," Annacone said.
"Who knows how long it will go on. You do need a little bit of good luck and things do get harder as you get older."
Although, with Federer, it never seems quite as hard as for everyone else.

Bay Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC)
Bay Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC) was formed in January 2002 with a vision to create a world where everyone has the skills to make peace. NVC is based on the principles of nonviolence.
We directly support:
- Leadership development by nurturing the skills and consciousness needed for social transformation
- Diversity by supporting people from diverse backgrounds in learning NVC and bringing it to their communities;
- Families by offering parents, youth and whole families new ways of relating and making peace;
- Safer communities by sharing NVC with domestic violence groups, local jails and prisons, including San Quentin
- Public outreach by offering people support and education through private sessions, classes, workshops, and retreats.
We offer events for the public such as workshops, series, intensive retreats (for individuals, couples and whole families), and practice groups; leadership development through ongoing intensive 9 or 12 month programs; trainings for organizations, more than half of them on a pro bono basis, to organizations such as churches, businesses, schools, and healthcare institutions; and support for individuals in the form of NVC-based counseling for individuals, couples and families.

When there are only 2,000 people living in a town, it doesn't take long to become part of the community. That could be the feeling you have if you choose to love in Pembroke, Georgia. It will be as though you have landed where you always belonged. This tiny town, near the scenic Canoochee River just 31 miles west of Savannah, seems to be at a crossroads between urban and rural, man-made sprawl and natural splendor.
History of Pembroke, GA
Growth in the timber industry and the railroad came together in 1889 and paved the way for the founding of Pembroke. Eventually, this little town would become the seat of Bryan County. Besides its century-plus significance in rural Georgia, Pembroke is also just 20 miles from Fort Stewart, a military installation since the Second World War, located in Hinesville, GA.
During the week, residents might commute to work in Savannah, but they can spend their weekends exploring cities such as Hinesville, Jesup, and Brunswick — all situated along the east coast and within a short drive of Pembroke. Together, they offer a glimpse into Civil War History, boast architecture dating back 100 – 200 years, and reflect a love of the railway as it united Georgia with the rest of the country.
Real Estate in Pembroke
Many families call Pembroke home and their children attend one of four schools covering all grades from K to 12. Georgia Southern University is a short commute from the town as well. One can feel removed from city life, yet always within reach of whatever they need or want:
- A job
- A place to learn
- A venue for a day out
That could include their local recreation center with its skating park and swimming pool. Jogging and walking trails have been established here also, but if residents wish for a more scenic walking/running route, just about every town along this stretch of Georgia offers miles of trails. Canoeing along the Canoochee River is also a pleasurable and popular pastime. Canoeists often spot various colorful birds and sunbathing alligators.
Homes for Sale in Pembroke, GA
If you plan to buy a house in Pembroke, look no further than our RE/MAX All American office. We love to help individuals, couples, and families find the homes they are dreaming of whether in Pembroke or in one of the many other hospitable and beautiful towns or cities in the region. Call ahead or just stop by and we will be glad to help you become familiar with real estate for sale in Pembroke, GA.

Dental Implant Placement and Restoration Beverly Hills
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are synthetic substitutes for a lost tooth and tooth root. These replacements are fastened to a patient's jawbone in a similar manner as a natural tooth and are secured using a special post which is customarily constructed from titanium or occasionally a titanium alloy. The dental implants are created to look and act like a normal tooth including withstanding the pressure a tooth normally experiences. Since dental implants are fused to the jaw bone, they not only assist to replace a lost tooth but also stabilize the jaw and help it, and the soft tissues, to maintain their shape and strength.
How are Implants Installed?
The implant procedure normally entails three visits. Throughout the initial visit the patient will have the titanium post installed into his or her jawbone. The post is then left to merge with the bone for a period of few weeks. The following visit will see to making the actual artificial tooth head. During this visit, an impression of the teeth and the gap will be made in order to craft a unique replacement made especially for that person. During the last visit the artificial tooth in connected to the post with an abutment and shaped to match the neighboring teeth.
Will These Dental Implants Be Safe?
Implants have been employed by dentists for tooth replacement procedures for over 30 years. The stability of these implants is an aspect of the titanium post. Titanium is renowned as an exceptionally biocompatible metal, meaning that it securely fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration and is fully accepted by the body. By providing this strong foundation, dental implants are the most stable replacement for teeth. Additionally, dental implants are the only tooth restoration treatment which stimulates the bone underneath the area of the missing tooth, helping to support jaw function, soft tissue health, and preventing bone loss.

There's much confusion about what's going on at Thai immigration offices. Just recently, Chiang Mai Immigration has moved (back) from Promenada Mall to the old location near the CNX airport, with a new queuing system.
As I haven't found any recent information on the web myself, I'm going to tell you my story today (this was actually today, Monday, November 19th of 2018 at the "new" immigration office).
Show up early
Be aware that extending a Non-Immigrant / long stay visa is different from extending a tourist visa (e.g. SETV or visa exemption). You will get a different queue and you will need to provide more documentation.
Rumor has it that people start queuing at 5 o'clock.
I showed up about 7:45, walked up to the information counter right inside the main entrance and handed my stack of documents to the guy in the brown uniform. He did a quick check, stapled the documents together, and handed them back to me, along with queue number E34.
Anyway, I got number E34 and my number was called at about 11:30 – almost four hours later. I was able to run some errands in the meantime, so no biggie.
There is a QR-code printed on the queue ticket which purportedly lets you check the queue status online – however it didn't work when I tried it (I got some error message on the website).
Have all your documents ready
The following documentation is needed to extend a Non-Immigrant ED visa at Chiang Mai Immigration:
- TM.7 Application Form (download), filled in and with
- A photo of you, 4x6cm
- Copies of all relevant pages of your passport, namely
- The picture / data page
- The last entry stamp
- The TM.6 departure card
- The current visa (which is to be extended)
- A copy of your TM.30 receipt*
- Documentation from your school (this is usually prepared by your school)
- A letter requesting to extend your visa
- Some form of proof that you are attending, for instance an assessment form signed and stamped by the university
- Some form of proof confirming your identity – (CMU had a letter with my passport photo and signature on it, stamped and signed by the University)
- Two forms with declarations about the reason for extending and confirmation that overstay and working is illegal, etc.
Sign all copies. Also, you will have to pay 1900 Baht so have them ready.
*Note that they will ask for a current TM.30 receipt. Your landlord needs to register you at immigration within 48 hours of you entering Thailand – every time you leave the country and come back you have to renew this, which I didn't know at first.
You don't need the TM.30 receipt for extending a tourist visa (at least I didn't need one back at Promenada Mall), but for the ED visa it appears to be mandatory – there even are signs posted outside the immigration office, stating that you absolutely need a TM.30.
So at 11:30 I was called to the counter and handed in my documents, which were complete and sufficient. I guess when you wait four hours and don't have sufficient documentation, you're out of luck. The guy who gave me the queue number didn't spend much time checking them.
Now the guy at counter 7 did a thorough check of my documents and passport, and hammered an estimated 15 to 30 stamps onto them. Then asked me to take a picture at the next counter.
After my picture was taken, I was asked to sit down and wait. After another 45 minutes of waiting, my name was called via the intercom and I got my passport with the extended visa.
I hope that helps someone 🙂

So, 5 hrs later, and the trades I put on this morning, now have a value of about £80.
Now £80, is £80, but, the prices havent really corrected to where I think they should be, so, am happy to stay in the position. This would be the same analysis, whether it would be £800 or £2000 green .. after that, I might nibble at the profits, as sport is a volatile thing.
I have no issue with people who do green, but, then I always question, do they take losses, in the same situation. If not, then, the logic doesn't work for me, and I normally say so.
