At the start
I was the leader today, reprising a ride that we had taken on 31st January. Our morning coffee stop was in Saffron Walden, and with only 90 minutes available to ride there I took what I think of as the "classic" route to get there. This involved cycling down Trumpington Road and cutting through a few of Cambridge's most exclusive streets to Long Road, where we joined the busway for the short journey to Addenbrooke's.
On the busway
After a short section along Francis Crick Avenue we turned onto the DNA path to Great Shelford. From there we continued to Little Shelford where we turned south towards Whittlesford, Duxford and Ickleton. There was a slight breeze from the north. In addition to giving us a slight tailwind this meant that we didn't have a cold wind in our faces, and it was really rather pleasant riding along in the morning sunshine.
Coploe Summit
At Ickleton we began the ascent of Coploe Hill. This is an easy climb though it's steep enough to keep us warm and to require a brief stop at the top to regroup.
Descending from Coploe
We descended south from Coploe Hill and crossed the county boundary into Essex. A short climb brought us to Catmere End which was followed by a long, pleasant descent along Chestnut Avenue towards the B1363 near Audley End and the final climb into Saffron Walden.
Morning coffee was to be at Bicicletta Coffee but when we arrived there were over twenty bikes outside and it looked pretty crowded inside. Several members were already there but the rest of us decided to wheel our bikes the short distance to The Temeraire and have coffee there instead. Although it's no surprise that a cycling cafe in a pretty town is busy at 11am on a Sunday morning, I was rather disappointed. Although quite a few members do prefer The Temeraire, I would much rather visit somewhere which offers good coffee and very actively welcomes cyclists rather than the admittedly much-cheaper beverages of the local Wetherspoons.
After coffee the group from Bicicletta Coffee came over and met us, and several of that group joined me for the next stage of the ride, to lunch in Langley Lower Green. We were still eight, though now we consisted of Sarah, Andy, Susan, Seb, Alex, David W, Adrian and me. Adrian made his own way there, leaving the remaining six to ride with me on a slightly longer route. This involved riding south to Debden crossroads and then via Widdington, Ugley, Rickling and Clavering. The good weather had brought rather a lot of motorists onto the roads, but once we reached the road to Widdington conditions became much quieter and the last hour before lunch was the most relaxed and enjoyable of the day.
Alex in Clavering Ford
We reached Langley Lower Green at 1pm exactly and stopped for lunch at The Bull. As was the case in January, we were made very welcome and had a very pleasant and relaxing meal.
After lunch at Langley Lower Green
After lunch it was time to head back north towards Cambridge. We took a relatively direct route, riding via Shaftenhoe End, Great Chishill and Heydon. By the time we reached the little plateau just north of Chrishall the weather had turned ominous, and there were a few drops of rain in the air. As we started the long descent down to Chrishall Grange it began to hail. This wasn't particulatly pleasant but didn't cause us any problems, and in any case were were on our way home and didn't have far to go.
We crossed the A505 to Fowlmere and took the loop via Thriplow to Newton. We said goodbye to David W there, and to Susan a mile further along the B1368 at the turn to Little Shelford. This left just Alex, Seb and me to continued along the B1368 to Harston and follow the route over Trumpington Meadows back into Cambridge.
When we reached Trumpington Park and Ride I had a puncture, so I waved the others on and wheeled my bike over to a sheltered area to change my tube. This chore was quickly completed and I continued on my way and onto the busway.
By now the hail had stopped, so I decided to take a short diversion along the Great Kneighton spine road to Long Road. This is essentially a building site, but with this part of Cambridge changing so fast it is always worth visiting to see what's new (in this case a big new school nearing completion). Here I discovered that I had another puncture, this time in the other wheel. Fortunately I had set off with two spare tubes so I still had one left, and once again it didn't take long before I was back on my way, rejoining the busway for the final mile or two into the city centre. I arrived home at 4.15pm having cycled 58 miles.

A Special Mother's Day Letter from Japan
Today I received an envelope from Japan with letters from the Young Women and leaders in the small branch where my son is serving. They told me what hard-working missionary he is, how well he speaks Japanese, how grateful they are he is serving in their area, how they are keeping an eye him, and their feelings about the Lord taking care of him. What a wonderful, touching Mother's Day letter. I am so grateful.

Jackson Native Confronts Bigotry in Delaware Church
Originally printed 7/13/2017 (Issue 2528 - Between The Lines News)
Charles Mead-e collected more than 13,000 signatures two years before marriage equality was legalized in the state of Delaware on July 1, 2013.
"I've already had to ask 25,000 people if I could marry someone who I love," said the Georgetown resident, adding that he shouldn't have to be reminded of that struggle today. So when a sign that read, "It's Adam and Eve not Steve - God," was posted recently outside the Providence United Methodist Church, Mead-e said he was "furious."
After a friend of his posted pictures of the insensitive sign on Facebook, Mead-e drove by the church contemplating.
"It was either place a burning cross in the church's front yard or write a letter to the district superintendent," he said. Mead-e chose the latter.
Over the course of a few days, Mead-e shared his thoughts with Rev. Dr. Kyung-Hee Sa, the superintendent of the church, which is part of the United Methodist Church's Peninsula-Delaware Conference and falls under the Dover district. His correspondence on July 2 included the Rev. Regina Reeves, who became pastor at Providence on July 1 when her husband, Walter Reeves, retired.
He explained to them that the sign, which came down after about a week, was "more than just offensive." That it is "mean spirited" and the church owed the LGBTQ community an apology.
Reflecting on his journey, Mead-e recalls the time when he tried to run an engagement announcement in his local paper, the Jackson Citizen-Patriot, in 2008. As a resident of Jackson, Michigan for more than 30 years, he said they wanted to celebrate this news with the community.
Mead-e graduated from both Jackson Community College and Spring Arbor University. As the secretary for PFLAG Jackson for several years, he said he has numerous ties to the Jackson and state communities.
"I still have my home there and more than likely will retire there as well," said Mead-e, noting he is aware of the recent victory for LGBTQ rights in his hometown.
Anti-LGBTQ discrimination is no longer legal in Jackson as of April 11 when a non-discrimination ordinance took affect.
Mead-e's testimony described his relationship with his husband, Bruce. The couple met on Valentine's Day in 2007 while they were both vacationing in Florida. On February 21, 2009, they had a commitment ceremony at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Lewes, Delaware. They celebrated a civil union three years later on February 21, 2012. In their fifties at the time, Mead-e said he remembers asking himself while saying their vows, "How much time will we have together?"
Such an important question for a couple now in their sixties that embraced their gay identity to start a meaningful relationship later in life. During the last three and a half years Bruce has been battling lung cancer on and off, which USA Today explores in an article titled "How Long Have I Got?: Why Many Cancer Patients Don't Have Answers." Mead-e said they will know more about how much time they have together this September.
'This Is Not Who We Are'
In an email response to Mead-e, Sa extended his sincere apology.
"I am saddened by such disrespect and judgment for human beings in the name of God. I know where Rev. Walt and Rev. Regina are in their hearts and theology while struggling with some people's one-sided views. I am grateful that the sign was immediately taken out and the church leaders are led to have serious conversation on what they are not supposed to do and be."
It was explained to Mead-e via email by Walter Reeves, who was in charge of the church at the time, that the sign was "put up by an individual member of the church without pastoral leadership knowledge or approval. I would like you to know that there has never been a message like that preached at that church."
Bishop Peggy Johnson told the Dover Post on July 8 that, "We apologized [to Mead-e]. In every way, we are making amends. It was an educational experience. We got to hear his heart and why these things are painful."
According to Johnson - who serves Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the eastern Pennsylvania area and is the person to whom Sa reports - the message was contrary to the social principals of the UMC and that the individual that posted the sign has expressed regret.
In the report, Johnson said, "[The person who posted the sign] is very sorry...she didn't realize the impact and it's simply never going to happen again."
As for that person, Mead-e said, "I haven't talked with her, so I have to take it at face value...My thoughts are that the soundbite coined in the '70s has been around for so long that people just assume that it's factual and don't think of the impact it has had. I was just awestruck that a church finally said 'It's wrong.' It will probably take another 50 years to remove the soundbite from our culture."

Measuring Customer Satisfaction
1. Overall satisfaction measure
Dissatisfaction is synonymous for: purchase regret
Satisfaction is linked to: positive ideas ('it was a good choice' or 'I am glad that I bought it).
This measure assesses your customers' experience with your product or service.
It's the direct response to perceived quality based on the perceived needs and expectations customers had.
Perceived quality is often measured in one of three contexts:
Overall quality
Perceived reliability
Extent of customer's needs fulfilled
Overall satisfaction can be measured : through a survey conducted from your customers after they finished the purchase process
2. The loyalty measurement
Customer loyalty is an excellent mirror describing the behavior of repeat customers, those who offer good ratings, reviews and testimonials.
Loyalty can also be measured via a survey after the purchase process.
Customer loyalty reflects :
the likelihood of repurchasing products or services.
So customer satisfaction is a major predictor of repurchase
Strongly influenced by explicit performance evaluations of product performance, quality, and value.
3. A series of attribute satisfaction measurement
4. Intention to repurchase
Customer satisfaction can influence customers on whether they will renew their contracts or purchase more products from you.
Directly asking: you can gauge a good indication on how satisfied the customers are and will they continue to purchase.
Behavioral measures: "purchasing this product would be a good choice" or "I would be glad to purchase this product."
Represent past experiences with customer representatives
5. Customer Lifetime Value
Customer lifetime value is the financial value of a customer relationship based on the present value of the projected future cash flows from the customer relationship.
Customer lifetime value is an important concept in that it encourages firms to shift their focus quarterly profits to the long-term health or their customer relationships.
This is an important number because it represents an upper limit on spending to acquire new customers.
Team 3: Beata Bobinac, Vanja Jeđud, Vanja Jovanović
Main issues
More powerful to measure the actual behavior than the intention.
emotional (feel) and behavioral (actions)
A common measure of loyalty might be the sum of scores for the following three questions:
, how satisfied are you with [brand]?
How likely are you to continue to
How likely are you to
[brand] to a friend or family member?
Loyalty - measured as: a combination of 3 measures
Client Heartbeat surveys - a great representation of how happy your customers are (If your customers are willing to put their reputation on the line to recommend you, they are satisfied).
An example
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is useful, simple metric that offers a snapshot of a company's performance through its customers (overall happiness with your brand). Correlated with how likely a customer is to continue to purchase from you.
Customer survey that asks participants to rank (1-10) how likely they are to recommend you:
Final calculation of your NPS = useful benchmark
Easy Interpretable Customer Satisfaction Score, One single question, Indication of the growth potential of your company or product, Measure continuously, and watch customer satisfaction and loyalty rise.
Main issues
Consumer attitudes toward a product develop as a result of product information or any experience with the product (perceived or real)
Measure attitudes towards a product or service that a consumer has never used - not meaningful to measure when a product or service has not been used.
Cognition refers to judgment: the product was useful (or not useful), fit the situation (or did not fit), exceeded the requirements of the problem/situation (or did not exceed), was an important part of the product experience (or was unimportant).
Affect and satisfaction are closely related concepts
Satisfaction is "post experience" and represents the emotional affect (product's quality or value).
An example
"How important is Feature A in your decision to buy from XYZ Company?"
"How satisfied are you with the "taste" of your cake?"
"How important is "taste" in your decision to select Sofra restaurant?"
"How important are our service level agreements in your decision to select our company?"
These sorts of questions are great for improving the product/service and they can also be applied to support.
Useful tools in gathering responses to these questions are Qualaroo, Temper... allows you to monitor the customer mood, spot frustrating experiences for further development, and clearly understand customer satisfaction regarding different pages, different products or scenarios.
Main issues
Heightened satisfaction during the post-purchase process can influence the score.
A customer's willingness to recommend the business to others.
Satisfaction can influence other post-purchase/post-experience actions: communicating to others – WORD OF MOUTH/SOCIAL NETWORKS
Additional post-experience actions might reflect heightened levels of product involvement
Repurchasing is vital for constant profit and customer lifetime value
Improving customer support channels, Improvement in page layout and insight in design and available information on pages
An example
"Do you intend to repurchase from Konzum when your subscription runs out?"
"Do you intend to renew your contract when it ends?"
"Do you intend to return to the Sofra restaurant in the next 30 days?"
This question is obviously relational to the offering at hand (some products are purchased regularly, some at longer intervals).
Hold Time & Abandonment Rates - digital support channels that do require a live person, keeping tabs on abandonment rates and hold time is important.
Customers are much less patient with live support channels:
A high exit or abandonment rate is a direct behavioral indication of customer dissatisfaction.
Unnatural high percentage indicates that your page and process could be optimized
Main issues
Accuracy in this parameter is vital to meaningful results. The retention rate is assumed to be constant across the life of the customer relationship.
Products and services that go through a trial, conversion and loyalty progression, retention rates will increase over the lifetime of the relationship. In those situations, this model might be too simple.
The discount rate should also be chosen with care because small changes can make major difference to CVL.
Don't use this formula for relationships in which customer inactivity doesn't signal the end of the relationship.
An example
An Internet service provider charges $19.95 per month. Variable costs are about $1.50 per account per month. With marketing spending of $6 per year, their attrition is only 0.5% per month. At a monthly discount rate of 1%, what is CLV of a customer?
Main issues
Need to have a strong read on your overall quality of service, especially as it pertains to fulfilling customers' needs on a regular basis and creating the sense that your company is reliable.
Accomplished with a simple follow-up question to describe overall service quality.
An example
"Overall, how was your experience with PBZ?"
"Overall, how satisfied are you with Sofra restaurant?"
Reflection of the overall opinion of a consumer's satisfaction experience with a product.
This can be an open-ended question: mentions of quality, reliability and customer fulfillment.
Google Forms, Survey Monkey, Floq…
Dawn Iacobucci, 2013 Marketing Models: Multivariate Statistics and Marketing Analytics.
Paul W. Farris, Neil T. Bendle, Phillip E. Pfeifer, David J. Reibstein, Marketing Metrics: The Definitive Guide to Measuring Marketing Performance, 2/E
Thanks for listening!
Metrics encourages rigor and objectivity.
Measuring customer satisfaction is one of the most important factors.
It helps with the product development and company support.
Important: knowing the needs of your potential and current customers, how to attract the new ones, but also, how to keep the old ones loyal.
Additional numbers and calculations = profitability of the business, champagne, product or service.
Measuring the like/dislike of a certain product (how they perceive the product): frame questions in the context of a specific attribute.
Gives an insight into the overall mood of the customers.
Define and develop measures for each attribute that pertains to a customer's satisfaction.
Collecting feedback about support team allows you to understand how important these elements are - gives managers better opportunities to handle customer feedback
Customer satisfaction is influenced by perceived quality of product and service attributes.
The researcher must define and develop measures for each attribute.
71% of consumers expect assistance in 5 minutes, and 31% want you to respond immediately.
A majority (48-65%) of consumers will outright abandon a site if they don't hear from someone.
6. "Things gone wrong measure"
This is a negative measure.
Your goal is to minimize its score to zero points.
TGW is calculated by dividing the number of complaints by the total number of units sold.
In the worst possible scenario your score is 1 or higher = meaning that you get at least 1 complaint per unit sold.
Main issues
Careful when analyzing the results from this measure.
Many people don't autonomously complaint, they simply never buy again.
Having a good TGW score doesn't necessarily mean that things are going well.
Find out where you're failing.
An example
If you're not meeting customer requirements, you need to find out where the failure is occurring.
Examples of general questions that would behave the company to know where the lines of communication are breaking down so that relationship with customers can be mended are as follows:
"Are the products less than what is advertised?"
"Are employees making promises that cannot be met?"
"Are customer service representatives dropping the call on customer concerns and managing their complaints?"
Today we're going to talk about...
Overall satisfaction measure
The loyalty measurement
A series of attribute satisfaction measurements
Intention to repurchase
Customer lifetime value
"Things gone wrong measure"
Customer satisfaction is a marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a company meet or surpass a customer's expectation. It's important because it provides marketers and business owners with a metric that they can use to manage and improve their businesses.
Customer satisfaction plays an important role within your business.
Not only is it the leading indicator to measure customer loyalty, identify unhappy customers, reduce churn and increase revenue; it is also a key point of differentiation that helps you to attract new customers in competitive business environments.
1.) Which metrics can we use for measuring customer satisfaction?
2.) How can you measure overall satisfaction?
3.) What are the issues of loyalty measurement?
4.) How do you calculate customer lifetime value (CVL)?

I'm still trying to figure out what the point of the shootout really is. ĀIf there's no dedicated folks working with a language there, trying to make things run faster, a language will come out looking inefficient potentially. ĀThere's a lot of compile flags and optimizations that can make a difference in probably all of the languages listed on that page.

I guess all you can get from the shootout is a sense of what a particular language or set of tools is capable of in the hands of the programmers who submit implementations. ĀIt doesn't really give you a concrete idea as to how to evaluate a programming language.

It does still seem kind of fun for some reason though :-)

Hey,

I was looking at the reverse-complement benchmark on the Language Shootout, and among other things, I noticed that the Haskell implementation was using (filter (/= '\n')) on ByteStrings, and also using lists as queues. Ā

I had a few improvements which using -fasm seem to yield about a 19% improvement in speed, and a 35% reduction in allocation, on my computer. Ā(If both programs are compiled with -fllvm -- I'm not sure whether or not that's fair game on the Shootout -- my implementation is 35% faster, and does 10% less allocation.) ĀI've checked my code on the Shootout's test input, as well.

Mostly, the improvement comes from a tightly specialized version of (filter (/= '\n')), although eliminating an intermediate list entirely (and one used in a queuelike fashion) didn't seem to hurt. ĀI managed to cut the program to a point where the program size is about the same as before.

The code is at http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=25865; the previous implementation is atĀhttp://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/program.php?test=revcomp&lang=ghc&id=2.

Let the arguing begin?

Good Books
By ANTHONY BURGESS
Interpreted From the Original Hebrew Book of Job
By David Rosenberg.
Thirty Stories Translated From the Bible
With an Essay on the Origins and Life of Narrative
By Reynolds Price.
t all depends on what you mean by translation. Some years ago I had the task of rendering T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" into Indonesian and, after 10 times, saw how hopeless it was. "Forgetful snow" became thalji yang berlupa -- impossible, because an inanimate substance could not, to my intended readers, forget -- or remember. And thalji, a Persian borrowing anyway, has no referent in the tropics, except for the incrustations of a neglected refrigerator. It couldn't be done. Ever since, I have been prepared to accept as a "translation" anything that, however freely, conveys the most general sense and feeling of an original. "Job Speaks" expresses, in contemporary urban terms, the pain of a human being deprived, anguished, alienated. "Let the day perish wherein I was born" cries King James's Job, but Rosenberg's:
shrivel that night in the hand of historyFine, but note how Job, having been modernized, has become Job temporarily limited. And with this --
let it soften in impotence
turn off its little shouts of pleasure
every science unsex it
genetic biology . . . advanced psychology
nuclear bomb
my days print outthe limitation becomes spatial. Job is a modern American. Fine again. So is it not perhaps best to see "Job Speaks" as a piece of very well wrought contemporary poetry, with its most general base in the Bible, and not as a translation at all? I can put King James or the original Hebrew into kampong Malay and be assured of understanding listeners. I'll have difficulty, however, if I have to convey the essence of Job out of Rosenberg. ("Give us Job." -- "Well, all I have is 'Job Speaks,' but I'll translate it for you.") Even I, as an Englishman, have trouble with "like a tie in a railroad track."
faster than a computer
they're gone like Western Union boys --
A loss of universality is small price to pay for so good a volume of verse, as American as the Whitman whom Mr. Rosenberg invokes. Still, and yet -- is the King James "When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out riches of oil" so unmodern and un-American? Is "my walks were bathed in light / in cream / the heaviest rocks in my way / smoothed out / like oil" better, even though it is longer? No caviling. Mr. Rosenberg is a considerable poet.
Reynolds Price is a considerable prose writer. "A Palpable God" must be taken as a serious testimony to a virtue rare among contemporary producers of fiction -- the compulsion to examine at intervals the rationale of his craft. All we novelists forget too often that our job is not to spin words to the greater glory of the complex, book-drenched, allusion-loving, ambiguity-adoring civilized sensibility, but to tell tales. The telling of a plain tale is, however, as hard for the contemporary writer as plowing with a plank and a nail would be to the contemporary agricultural operative. Sometimes we have to get back to see how the ancients did it, and Mr. Price's mode of self-refreshment has been to examine the Bible. Unlike Mr. Rosenberg, he has schooled himself in the Hebrew of the Old Testament as well as the demotic Greek of the New. Here, in 30 stories out of the Bible, he seeks to recapture the physicality -- palpability, or feelability, is the right word -- of the ancient narratives. Neither the King James version nor the later, more scholarly renderings of Holy Writ have, in his view, caught the essential tones. Here is the opening of his "The Good News According to Mark":
" . . . John wore camel's hair and a leather belt round his hips, ate grasshoppers and wild honey and proclaimed saying 'He's coming who is stronger than I -- after me -- of whom I'm unfit stooping to loosen the strap of his sandals. I baptized you in water but he'll baptize you in Holy Spirit.'"
This is both English and not English. Where the tonalities of our tongue are strained, we divine that we are not far from the original Greek. The linking kai (or et of the vulgate), invariably rendered as "and" in the King James version (providing one of the traditional flavors of biblical English, as in Bunyan) he does not find in necessary always to translate: to the Greeks kai was not invariably "and." But the physical force of "unfit stooping" goes back literally to non dignus procumbons in the vulgate, which is a straight rendering of the Greek.
And the contractions "he's," "I'm," "he'll," though they seem at first inept in the formal declaration of the Baptist or "Baptizer," do catch the swift informality of the koine, which was not Attic Greek of Sophocles.
There is the same plain force in his version of, say, the tale of Joseph and Potiphar's wife: " . . . And it happened that though she spoke to Joseph day by day he did not listen to her and be with her. Then it happened about this time -- he came into the house to do his work and there was no house servant there in the house.
" She seized him by his coat saying, 'Lie with me.'
"He left his coat in her hand and fled outside."
The 19th-century Roman poet Giuseppe Belli, in the translation I have, put it like this:
One morning, bringing the hot water to her,
He found her naked, the sweet buxom slut,
So damped her with the contents of the ewer.
She grabbed him by his single garment but
He left it with her, naked but still pure.
And ran away, the bloody idiot. Belli, refreshing the dialect of the Roman streets through contact with the Bible, was, in his own way, on a quest that is perennial among writers. We have to get back to the beginning again, startle the dullness of our everyday language with a swipe from the exotic, and remember that "a need to tell and hear stories is essential to the species Homo Sapiens -- second in necessity apparently after nourishment and before love and shelter." That comes from Mr. Price's long introductory essay, which from now on must be required reading in creative-writing courses.
Anthony Burgess is working on two novels, one about Freud, the other about the life of a Pope.

Rekka Movie Review: The Tata & Toyota Facepalm Moment
Tata and Toyota sure would have facepalm moments with these Madurai films, where their flagship models Sumo and Innova get tossed into the air and get crushed by sidekicks and villains. Hip-hop, Rock and an up and coming hero, you have a mass entertainer like Rekka.
The film remains incomprehensible like its title. Neither here nor there. I couldn't make out if Rekka meant wings with its colloquialization, without it being "Rekkai". Is it Chennai or any other Tamil? I am not sure.
Set in a calm Kumbakonam of temples and smooth daily life, Rekka has its charms—the prime one being Vijay Sethupathi. In the shot, when he rides a motorcycle with father KS Ravikumar riding pillion, the lead actor shows he is vulnerable to love and good-looking girls with a mere smile.
He doesn't look at his co-actor KS Ravikumar but lets us know what he is feeling with his responses. You would be surprised how Vijay Sethupathi's performance adds a lot to his character as well as for others. However, he still can't adequately lip punch dialogues, as though he still seems to be feeling shy. Sometimes, knowledge of good acting and films seem counter-productive, while ascending towards becoming a mass hero is no goal either.
As you expect, the hero is a dignified man, who is also a junior to a lawyer but we don't see him work. It is merely said. Similarly, he kidnaps girls to help them elope and marry their loved ones. That is verbal too and hardly any visual, except for his own sister. We don't see him bring her back either. All of it is spoken.
Then we have Vijay Sethupathi kidnap Lakshmi Menon in a miraculous sequence, where all the million dhoti-clad, scythe-wielding men in Madurai can't stop him. Finally, we have all SUVs and MPVs failing "crush tests". The film ends happily ever after from there.
What works for the most part is Vijay Sethupathi's emoting with his primary family members. One of his sisters placing her elbows on his shoulders as he plays chess will have rural women swoon for him. Vijay Sethupathi keeps connecting with his family, as though they were his real life family.
Lakshmi Menon comes across as desirable, though she looks puffed up. She looks typical of a rich woman in her early twenties, who is awaiting her wedding. She keeps assuming that she is being eloped with till the last moment.
There is even an allusion to the film "Ghilli" whose story Rekka resembles partially, in the eloping sequences.
The screenplay works, the music and the action sequences do too. However, the second half makes us impatient with the backstory and the sudden revelation that keeps coming out of nowhere. All these make for a tiring watch, despite the initial feel-goodness of the film.
"Rekka" gets incomprehensible for the most part and engaging for the other.

Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Rolando McClain has decided to retire from the NFL at the age of 23, general manager Ozzie Newsome announced Wednesday.
"Rolando let me know that he plans to retire from the NFL," Newsome stated. "We have placed him on the Reserve/Retired list."
McClain signed a one-year deal with the Ravens on April 12, he was arrested 10 days later in his hometown of Decatur, Ala., for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The latest arrest was the third for the former first-round pick by the Oakland Raiders.
In December 2011, McClain was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, among others. In January, he was arrested for a window tint violation.
McClain is due in court on July 9 for the disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges.
The Ravens selected Arthur Brown in the second round of the NFL Draft. Brown and Jameel McClain will likely start, with Josh Bynes and Albert McClellan
McClain finishes his NFL career with 275 tackles, 6.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and 23 passes defensed in 41 career games with Oakland.

Serge Gnabry has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal after a series of impressive displays since breaking into the first team.
Gnabry, who signed his first professional contract last year after shining in the club's youth ranks, made his Arsenal debut in the 6-1 win over Coventry in last season's Capital One Cup.
The 18-year-old's Premier League bow came as a substitute in the defeat to Norwich in October 2012 and four days later he came off the bench in the Champions League clash with Schalke. In doing so, the former Stuttgart youngster became the second youngest Arsenal player to appear in both competitions, after Jack Wilshere.
Wenger has high hopes for the speedy teenager, who scored his first senior goal for the club in the 2-1 win at Swansea last month, a week after he made his full Premier League debut in the win over Stoke.
"We signed Serge Gnabry because I believe that he will be a great player," Wenger told the club's official website. "He's nearly there now, and competes for a regular place in the team in the Premier League.
"He has technical ability, he has power, he has pace, he has finishing quality and he can give a final ball. He's a powerful offensive player and I believe that he will be a great player for Arsenal football club."
Gnabry said: "Arsenal is a great football club and I'm so happy to be here and sign a new contract. For me, now it's all about working hard and developing my game.
"I've had some good opportunities recently in the first team, which has given me extra confidence, and this will only improve my game. I'm looking forward to giving my best for this club in the years to come."
Tomas Rosicky believes Gnabry has done the right thing for his career by committing to Arsene Wenger's side and has been thrilled with the German's contribution.
"He has a manager here who will develop him and who has a history of developing young players," Rosicky told the Arsenal website. "Nothing better could happen to him than being offered a new contract here."
Gnabry is likely to be involved in Tuesday night's Capital One Cup fourth-round tie with Chelsea, if he can shake off an ankle injury.
Isaac Hayden and Ryo Miyaichi are also set to feature, but midfielder Mathieu Flamini (groin) and Mikel Arteta (suspended) are out.
Wenger is uncertain how long Arsenal must do without Flamini. "He has a scan today (Monday) and then we will get the results as to how long he will be out," said the Asrenal manager.
"It doesn't look like a bad muscle injury but honestly it's too early to give you a precise answer. It's a groin injury."
Arteta was dismissed, unjustly in the Spain midfielder's opinion, for denying Marouane Chamakh a goalscoring opportunity in Saturday's win at Crystal Palace.
"He is suspended for one game, so I will not appeal," Wenger said.

CSols ruggedized PDA Remote Sampler improves chain of custody, reduces transcription errors & costs
CSols Remote Sampler was developed in conjunction with many water companies seeking a solution to better manage remote sampling, reduce costs, improve chain of custody and meet regulatory requirements.
Many laboratories have samples collected from remote locations. Often various details have to be recorded about the samples and as well as the location details this often includes onsite tests. Rather than relying upon paper records, CSols Remote Sampler software runs on a ruggedized hand held computer and allows all data entry to be captured electronically at point of sampling making life easier for the sampler. All data captured can then be electronically transferred without further user interaction to LIMS hence reducing administration and errors in transcription in the laboratory. Remote Sampler includes optional Satellite Navigation software for guidance to sampling locations and GPS tracking to provide proof that samples were collected in the correct locations.
Generating a Collection Run on the Hub
The CSols Hub PC(s) is at the heart of the Remote Sampler system and is used by the Sampling Manager to manage collection runs and the transfer of sampling data to LIMS. Information from the handheld devices is sent either remotely via ftp / wireless broadband or via an asynchronous link when the PDA is 'back at base'. Remote Sampler software has been designed to be easy to use for a Sampler. It can operate in either or both of the following ways: 1) Where LIMS is generating the Collection Runs in advance and 2) Where the Sampler logs the samples into LIMS directly from the PDA as data is collected on site (i.e. these Samples had not already been logged on LIMS). Remote Sampler is highly secure and all actions (including configuration changes) are audit trailed. Site sampling point photographs can also be incorporated with the data.
Routine Operation
There are many different scenarios for collecting remote samples. This example is for a Water Utility which is sending samplers out on predetermined Collection Runs to collect many bottles at each location. The locations could include random sampling at domestic addresses or other sites such as reservoirs, treatment works and boreholes. First a Collection Run is generated for the Sampler. Runs are created using the Remote Sampler Hub software which is located at the Sampler's base. Runs can be created manually or directly from LIMS. If the Sampler's PDA is networked to the Hub, the Collection Run is transferred to the Device. If not, it is transferred automatically as soon as it is connected. Once the Collection Run is on the PDA, the Sampler can select a Sample and request that the GPS guide him/her to the location. Route navigation is fully integrated into Remote Sampler using the powerful professional Sygic Drive satellite navigation engine.
Integrated route navigation
Once at the location, the Sampler can step through the actions that are necessary to confirm the location, collect the sample bottles and perform the onsite tests requested by LIMS.
Entering onsite data into Remote Sampler
The user interface can be set in either Spreadsheet Mode (where the expectation is that input is primarily via virtual keyboard and stylus) or in Single Finger Mode where the user is taken through all the actions at each location, step by step, with large buttons and keys. Remote Sampler features a Wizard style interface with large, readable text and a user friendly layout.
When collecting samples, the user is given details of the bottles required and any pretreatment of the sample that is necessary. Preprinted, barcoded labels attached to the bottles are scanned into the Collection Run and the GPS position, date, time and sampler are recorded, thereby ensuring that the samples were taken in the correct location. In this example, the PDA has a phone based internet connection. This is used to transfer details back about each sample as it is collected. This gives the receiving laboratory some advance warning of what is coming in later. This can be important in some situations where speed is important e.g. Microbiology. Note also that if the LIMS supports the function, Ad Hoc samples can be taken and remotely logged to LIMS.
Specific Sampling Requirements
If you have a sampling application that you think will have requirements that are unlikely to be handled by Remote Sampler then please contact us directly. We could provide a custom solution but if your requirements are of more general interest then we would be willing to consider incorporating the new functionality configurably in our standard
Remote Sampler software.

Fernandinho has warned his Manchester City team-mates that Celtic will be hurting when they face them in the Champions League.
Fernandinho expects a reaction from Brendan Rodgers' men following their 7-0 drubbing by Barcelona and says City must be wary at Celtic Park.
The Brazilian midfielder also dismissed talk that City are overwhelming favourites because of their perfect-10 start to the season.
"I don't agree with that, I don't agree with us being favourites," he said. "It's going to be a difficult game.
"Of course, they had a painful defeat for themselves and the fans, but maybe that's one of the reasons they will step onto the pitch with a lot more concentration, motivated to try to win this home game.
"So we'll have to be very careful and stay very focused to not allow that to happen."
Fernandinho beat Celtic with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League in 2007 and remembers how they defeated holders AC Milan during that group-stage campaign to reach the last 16.
"It will be my first time playing in Scotland, against Celtic," he said. "I played them once in 2007, but that was in our stadium - I was suspended for the away game.
"It will be special because all the best teams are in the Champions League. So our objective is to go there and try to win, but it's going to be a difficult match."
Fernandinho also played down claims the group is a straight shoot-out between City and Barcelona.
"I think people sometimes say that City and Barcelona are the favourites," he said.
"But I don't agree with that because Borussia Moenchengladbach are an excellent team and Celtic are an excellent team as well, especially when they play at home.
"You always have to be careful. You always have to think that you cannot make any mistakes. There's no relaxing, otherwise you'll pay for it."

ONTARIO, Calif. – The Ontario Reign, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and Winnipeg Jets, announced that the team has agreed to terms with defensemen Jeff May and Nolan Julseth-White for the 2014-15 season.
May, 27, spent the majority of last season with the Las Vegas Wranglers, totaling 25 points (11g-14a) and 29 penalty minutes in 42 games. He also saw time in the American Hockey League with the Hershey Bears and Texas Stars, contributing one assist and two penalty minutes in three games. May has spent his entire ECHL career with the Wranglers, recording 62 points (22g-40a) in 115 games in Las Vegas, and was also a member of the Wranglers' 2012 team that advanced to the Kelly Cup Finals. In 259 career pro games, the 6-foot-1, 186-pound blueliner has recorded 83 points (26g-57a) and 227 penalty minutes.
The native of Richmond, British Columbia has also played overseas, as he suited up for Ducs d'Angers of France's Ligue Magnus in 2012-13, logging eight points (4g-4a) and 64 penalty minutes in 24 games. Prior to turning pro, May played five seasons of junior hockey from 2002-08 with the Prince Albert Raiders and Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League, amassing 143 points (19g-124a) and 338 penalty minutes in 310 career games. May was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the fifth round (151st overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Julseth-White, 26, joins May in Ontario after completing his second season with Las Vegas. In 68 games with the Wranglers last season, Julseth-White tallied 11 points (2g-9a) and had 49 penalty minutes.

In 129 career pro games, Julseth-White has posted 32 points (5g-27a) and 82 penalty minutes.
Prior to turning pro, Julseth-White played four seasons of collegiate hockey with Union College from 2008-12. During his senior year, Julseth-White captained the Dutchmen to their first Frozen Four appearance. In 100 games with Union, Julseth-White tallied 18 assists and 62 penalty minutes.

Apple has reported record second quarter earnings as the iPad helped boost revenues 88% to $15.7bn (£10.2bn). The company reported its results for the quarter ended 26 June yesterday (20 July).
The strong results come despite antennae issues with the manufacturer's iPhone 4 model.
But Apple CEO Steve Jobs last night insisted that the latest device was the most successful launch in Apple's history.
Profit was up 78% to $3.25bn, while the number of iPhones sold rose 61% year-on-year to 8.4 million. However, sales of the iPhone fell slightly quarter-on-quarter, as customers waited for the launch of the iPhone 4 at the end June.
Meanwhile, the iPad – launched during the quarter – accumulated sales of 3.27 million units.
Jobs said: 'IPad is off to a terrific start, more people are buying Macs than ever before, and we have amazing new products still to come this year.'
Apple has put aside revenue of $175m to cover the cost of providing cases to address antenna problems with the iPhone 4.

The 82nd Annual Pet Parade in Olympia
On Saturday, August 20, 2011 is Olympias 82nd annual Pet Parade. Yes, for 81 years this delightful event has been a part of Olympia's summer family fun - fun for human and non-human family members. Observers are welcome to bring pets, too. As long as they're comfortable being around other animals. The Olympia Pet Parade is one of those charming happenings that makes Olympia feel more like a small town than a capitol city.
Trinacria Ristorante in Downtown Olympia - Intimate and Authentic
I'll go ahead and admit it. I have snobbish tendencies when it comes to Italian food. But, as anyone who has traveled to beautiful Italia will agree, it is extremely tough to find authentic Italian cuisine here in the states. And just like in Italy, it is fitting that the best food around just happens to be located in the most unassuming of places. Nestled next to the Electric Rose Tattoo Parlor and the Brotherhood Tavern in downtown Olympia, a Sicilian treat lies waiting behind the most modest of doors. Trinacria Ristorante Italiano in Olympia is perhaps the closest I've come to replicating both the cuisine and the environment that I fell in love with in Italy.
Summer is...Concerts at the Gorge
There's no denying that trucking over to Eastern Washington for a Summer concert at the Gorge is one of the perks of being an Olympian. What a venue! The river, the hills...the music. What about you? Have you been to the Gorge? Where did you sleep? And, most importantly, who did you see?
Our Olympia: Sand in the City and Make Olympia
Ah, Olympia. There's no place like it on Earth, I mean that sincerely. I've had some amazing opportunities to travel the world. My military commitments dispatched a younger me to the rugged mountains and chaotic streets of Seoul, South Korea, the cobbled and storied avenues of Savannah and London, the biergarten houses of Bavaria, and the breathtaking costal paradises of Amalfi and Capri. For me, Olympia is a microcosm of all those places rolled into one - its a dream land.
New on the Market in Ken Lake
This beautifully updated rambler in the Ken Lake neighborhood of West Olympia just hit the market today. For those looking for a move-in ready home in a quality established neighborhood....welcome home. The attention to detail in this home is what separates it from the competition. Plus, the neighborhood amenities of Ken Lake make it really stand out!
Sports Physicals for Local Student Athletes
On Wednesday, Aug.10, Providence St. Peter Family Medicine will hold a walk-in sports physical clinic for middle school and high school athletes beginning at 5:30 p.m. The clinic will not close until all physicals have been completed. A $20 fee will go directly back to your child's school, supporting athletic programs.

Lovely work. The silver wire at the top is especially nice, very delicate. I like the detail views.

Terrific balance between the abstract nature of paint and the subject. Perhaps slightly more focus on the "passage".... working towards merging/dissolving values into the negative space. It would be interesting to see a few more sensual passages of paint, too. In some senses, the work becomes contrived in its formulaic nature. Take a look at the work of both Lennart Anderson and Edwin Dickinson.

Anonymous....I went to see the painters you mentioned. I'm still processing your remarks. I responded to the other comments. Two of them I believe. By the way, I have my comments set to email me when someone leaves a comment, but it doesn't work. I have to manually search every comment to see if someone left me a post...bummer. Does anyone have any idea where I should look or whom I should contact to fix on this?
