A new era in Jamaica's cricket starts today as the Jamaica Scorpions begin their quest for the Super50 Cup when they face arch-rivals Barbados in a Day/Night encounter starting at 12:30 p.m. Jamaica time at Warner Park in St Kitts.
With a fresh, new coach in André Coley and new captain Rovman Powell, the Jamaicans are keen to turn around their fortunes with regard to silverware, and captain Powell has dubbed this a 'Championship Year', beginning with the regional limited-overs championship.
"Our team's chances are as good as any. I think we have a pretty balanced team, and it's just for us to do what is required on the day," said Powell.
"The guys know what is the aim. It's a championship year, and it's been a while since the Jamaica franchise won anything whether it be four-day or 50 over competition. It's definitely something everyone is looking forward to and the preparation has been good. It's just for us to try our best and get into the semi-finals and take it from there," Powell added
Despite the new leadership in the coaching and captaincy department, the Scorpions squad remains pretty much the same from past seasons with familiar faces such as Jermaine Blackwood, Andre McCarthy, Assad Fudadin, Nkrumah Bonner, and Powell leading the batting charge.
The bowling unit is expected to be spearheaded by pacer Oshane Thomas, spinner Dennis Bulli, and fast bowler Marquino Mindley, who played for the Pride last season.
New captain Powell is relishing the opportunity of leading the Scorpions and eyes the role on a much larger scale.
"It's a responsibility that I grasp with both hands. The country is looking for leaders, not just the country but West Indies is looking for leaders, and if I can put my hand up at this stage, you never know," added Powell.
Last year, the teams split their head-to-head meeting in the group stage of the competition, with Jamaica winning the first encounter by 33 runs on the back of a brilliant 122 from Chris Gayle.
The Pride would then win the return fixture by 39 runs thanks to a fine knock of 82 from Jonathan Carter and a five-wicket haul from seamer Shamar Springer.
With Carter now leading the team in the absence of Shamar Brooks, the Pride will be buoyed by the success of the Tridents franchise, which recently won the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 title.
"Yes, the team will be motivated from the CPL win, and as you all know, we have a reasonably young squad mixed with experience, and I think my chances in this tournament are quite good.
"I have been encouraging my players to play together as a unit, and I think that is what is required for us to go the next step," said Carter.
The Pride will be banking on the experience of West Indies representatives Miguel Cummins and Ashley Nurse to lead their charge while young guns Springer, Chemar Holder, and Leniko Boucher are expected to play anchor roles.

Fountainhead - NES Soundtrack Tribute Album
One of the major advantages of the classic NES was its ability to be upgraded through chips that were built directly into the game cartridges. This was largely responsible for the systems wide range of software that continued to impress well after the systems prime. Without the assistance of chips such as the many MMC (Memory Management Controllers) chips, we wouldn't have had classics such as Castlevania 3 or Super Mario Bros. 3. Sound was yet another area that benefited greatly from these expansion chips allowing Nintendo's first home console to pump out some of the greatest video game music ever. Musical group Xenon Odyssey has put together an album titled Fountainhead which uses almost every sound chip that was available for the system to create a wonderful 8 bit tribute to the classic NES. The album is available at Bandcamp where you can name your own price including FREE. Enjoy!

The first full day of the Labour Party Conference got off to an interesting start, with dissenting voices during the very first session.
The vote on the Conference Arrangements Committee report is one of those formalities that delegates have gone through at the start of every Conference for years without anyone thinking of questioning their judgement. This year several delegates argued that they weren't being given enough bites of the cherry, and eventually the Chair had to ask for a card vote. The vote to accept the report was won, but only by about 58% to 42%.
It's a footnote – but one which I think demonstrates 2 things:
1) There are a lot of new delegates who are determined to test the Party's commitment to democracy – I think that test was passed with flying colours.
2) There do seem to be a significant number of people here who think that you can't have a democratically agreed position unless it has been thrashed out in public by delegates arguing from different sides. I don't believe that – we ought to have more local forums and they need to be more transparent, but the adversarial model of speech and counter-speech didn't inspire the voters in 1983 and it won't inspire them now. I think some of the more confrontational voices need to recognise that we can make more coherent Labour Party policy through discussion, workshops, drafting and revision than we can through shouting each other down. I believe the Party will decide to keep the NPF, but I share the view of most members that it needs to be both more radical and more open, and I will certainly be supporting moves in that direction.
There were some very powerful speeches, but the ones that stuck with me:
- Ian McNicoll urging us to fight to win – we are a party of government, not a pressure group.
- Chris Bryant reminding us of the devastation that vulnerable people and minorities are already facing, and how we must have pride in our unity as a party otherwise people won't vote for us.
- Ian Murray (our only Scottish MP) telling us that, for all their bravado and radical-sounding words, when it comes to actually implementing policies in Scotland the SNP are wee sleekit cowerin' beasties.
- The powerful plea from Northern Ireland for our Party to decide to organise there to offer the population rights on e.g. abortion which the rest of us in the UK have taken for granted for years.
I also attended the Labour Coast & Country session, which was so well attended that we had to move to a bigger room. Maria Eagle spoke of the importance of valuing local councillors – including Parish – and fighting to win those seats, not just sending everyone to our target seats. Also, we must not allow the NFU and the Countryside Alliance to define politics in rural England and we must contact our new members and welcome them, giving them the opportunity to become involved early on. The delegates there felt that our message to the voters needed to be clearer, and that while the basic message for voters across the UK should be the same, there were different emphases and sometimes a different slant required to make it relevant for the bulk of the country away from London + the northern mets. And we needed to have other techniques in our campaign armoury apart from simple door-to-door ID.
I also attended the SERA rally – the Labour Party's environmental campaign. This needs to be a strong campaign area for us, as the Tories have vacated anything near the centre ground and are demolishing the environmental measures Labour put in place between 1997 and 2010. We heard what Plymouth City Council were doing with Cooperatives in energy generation, insulation, growing and distributing fresh Fruit and veg. Daniel Zeichner the new shadow minister for buses, cycling and walking said it was no good relying on the market – we needed intervention, as they had in London. And Sadiq Khan promised to be the greenest Mayor London has ever had. I pledged to bring at least 5 people with me from Suffolk to the big Climate Change march in London on November 29th – we need to make sure people can see that voting Labour is the most effective way to achieve green objectives.
Finally, at the ALC reception in the evening, I met up with lots of good friends. Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson addressed us – they were doing 14 different receptions this evening, but Corbyn didn't look tired or frazzled – he spoke calmly but powerfully for several minutes about our mission to expose and reverse the Tory lies over austerity which have led to the most concerted attack on the vulnerable, trade unions, and ordinary working people in a generation.
Sandy Martin, Labour Group Leader – 27/09/15

In the past there has been sole focus on developing individual work competencies (i.e., a bottom up approach) with little attention paid to developing a firm's critical capabilities and core competencies. However this emphasis is now changing, reasons Colin Beames.
Every organisation operates in a unique competitive situation. To implement its strategy, each firm must develop and build capabilities and competencies that are critical to its strategic intent.
In the past there has been sole focus on developing individual work competencies (i.e., a bottom up approach) with little attention paid to developing a firm's critical capabilities and core competencies. However this emphasis is now changing for the reasons outlined below.
A three level model of capabilities/competencies
The above pyramid model, that includes three types or levels of capabilities and competencies, offers a top down approach to capability and competency development:
- Differentiating or critical capabilities (of firms);
- Core competencies (of firms);
- Work competencies (of individuals and teams).
Differentiating or critical capabilities (of firms)
Differentiating or critical capabilities either:
- Differentiate a firm from its competitors (i.e., its point of difference);
- Characterise a firm to its customers;
- Contribute significantly to success.
Differentiating or critical capabilities (or a single capability, which may be the case for many firms), are therefore vital to the success of a firm, because: they constitute a key source of sustainable competitive advantage; and they are one of the main reasons why customers purchase products or services from one firm versus another.
These capabilities represent what the firm is known for, what it is good at doing, and how it patterns its activities to deliver value. They define many of the intangibles that investors pay attention to, including the company brand to which customers relate to, and the culture that shapes employees' behaviour. They become the identity of the firm and the key to implementing the business strategy.
Some of the traditional and accepted capabilities include:
- Efficiency (e.g., lean manufacturing);
- Customer service;
- Quality;
- Speed of change or agility;
- Size or geographic spread.
Differentiating or critical capabilities are one of the main reasons why customers purchase products or services from one firm versus another.
Some emerging capabilities for many firms to succeed in the future include:
- Risk management (with volatile and changing markets, anticipating and managing risk will be critical to sustainability);
- Social responsibility (with increasing concern for environmental issues increasing the ability to attract customers and employees);
- Simplicity (leading to greater responsiveness);
- Connection (with technology enabling the workplace of the future);
- Innovation (e.g., business models, business processes, customer interfaces or channels, administration processes as well as products).
Whatever the case, it is important to focus on developing and strengthening the firm's critical capabilities, given that this is the source of competitive advantage and sustainability.
Core competencies (of firms)
Core competencies directly relate to the key activities or functions that a firm undertakes in conducting its business. For example, the mythical XWZ Widget Company's core competencies would include: designing widgets; manufacturing and distributing widgets; and marketing and selling widgets.
For the purposes of this example, let's assume that the critical capability of the XYZ Widget Company is the quality of widget that it manufactures – this represents its source of competitive advantage.
Depending upon the business strategy, some core competencies will be more important than others at any particular time in the business environment or cycle. For example, it may be the case that a key business strategy of the XYZ Widget Company is to design a new type of widget.
Therefore roles associated with the design of the new type of widget become more important because they are directly linked the business strategy at that particular point in time. Once this new widget is designed, then there may be a shift to the manufacturing core competency as becoming more important.
Strengthening a firm's critical capabilities and core competencies
Based on the above considerations, how can a firm best strengthen its critical capabilities and more important core competencies? Or put another way, what are the key drivers of these critical capabilities, and more importantly core competencies that are adding value to a firm?
Job roles incorporating either innovation or quality should be adequately resourced and invested in, including a focus on improving the performance of people in those roles.
We can think about these key drivers consisting of any of the following:
- Sales and revenue — maintaining or increasing sales to existing customers, securing new customer sales, optimising prices;
- Stakeholder relations – contributing to customer service/satisfaction, maintaining the firm's reputation or brand with stakeholders;
- Costs — achieving efficiencies in production and delivery of products and services;
- Quality — maintaining or enhancing the quality of products and services;
- Innovation — incorporating research and development, strategy, design, capital expenditure, securing resources, feasibility studies, marketing research, etc., all relating to the development of existing or new products and services;
- Organisational capability — contributing to organisational efficiency, recruitment, development, and the engagement and retention of people;
- Reputation/risk management — risk management and compliance, protecting the firm's reputation;
- Financial performance — determining cash flow, borrowings, ROI, tax management;
- Processes/systems (including ICT) – designing, implementing and maintaining processes and systems improvements.
Some of these drivers will be more significant than others. In the case of the previous mythical XYZ Widget Company, innovation (which relates to widget design – a more important core competency) becomes a more significant key driver. Quality is also an important key driver as it directly relates to the critical capability of the firm.
Organisational structures should reflect the importance of innovation and quality. Job roles incorporating either innovation or quality should be adequately resourced and invested in, including a focus on improving the performance of people in those roles (i.e., the bottom level of the pyramid). There is a direct line of sight between those job roles and the achievement of the business strategy and the sustainability of the firm.
The three layered pyramid model thus offers a top down, integrated approach to intelligent investment in people and resources where it matters most.

NY DWI Dismissed: Unlawful Police STOP for Failure to Signal Violation o...
Brandt was stopped for violating V.T.L. § 1163(b), which he argues only applies to a moving vehicle that must signal a turn one hundred (100) feet prior to turning. Where the defendant's vehicle was stationary at a red light and he signaled his intention to turn while stopped, the one hundred (100) feet does not apply. The court agreed with this and his DWI charges were dismissed.

Vans and Motorhomes Can Get Constitutional Protection Like a Home
|Motorhome gets constitutional protection of 4th amendment's right to privacy
In People v. Pallis, motorhome gets 4th amendment privacy rights.
A recent September 2018 New York State case of People v. Pallis affords privacy rights in a motorhome.
Motorhomes may be more like residences than automobiles where they provide increase privacy and residential necessities (see e.g. United States v. Williams, 630 F2d 1322, 1326 [9th Cir 1980]).
Vans, motorhomes, and campers maybe considered homes for 4th amendment privacy issues. NYS finds a motorhome in Brooklyn was more like a home and didn't permit the warrantless search by police.
The court will have to weigh the factors for or against: stationary vs. mobile
Including: hookups, intent, location, type of van, timing, and use

Illegal Police Conduct: No Violation of Failing to Signal 100 Feet Before Turn
Police love to pull people at 4:00 in the morning, and sometimes they even misapply the law. Imagine that. A recently dismissed New York DWI case is a perfect illustration of great defense work.
The DWI court (NY has specific DWI courts now) only had one single issue: they had to decide whether the New York State Trooper had probable cause to stop defendant's vehicle on the basis that defendant failed to properly signal his intention to turn thereby violating V.T.L. §1163(b).
Do you always have signal your intent to turn your car?
When do you have signal your intent to turn your car?

What happens if the police don't check some boxes? What happens if the police mischeck some boxes? What happens if the police misstate the times of the arrest, the color of the car, the make of the car, the model of the car, and even the streets?

It's Friday! The last day of Armchair BEA. Can you believe it? The week has just flown by. I hope everyone has met some new blogging friends and learned a few things too. Maybe you got ideas for the future of your blog. We hope so. We want book blogging to be around for a long time.
Today's topic is Ask The Experts. In your post, ask the visitors to your blog for blogging advice. What did you always want to know about blogging but were afraid to ask? Now is the time!
Alternatively, if you've been blogging for awhile, you've probably learned a thing or two. Whether you stumbled upon a something that makes blogging easier or made a mistake you'd never want anyone to repeat, share your experience and wisdom with others.
Even though I have been part of this community for 2+ years, I do still have questions/concerns. But first I would like to say that I know I will be at this for many more years since I enjoy every minute of it as I did when I first started due to the following. I love meeting new people, albeit new bloggers, authors, publishers, publicists, etc. Also seeing and receiving ARCs, books and/or new authors is like being a kid in a candy store. Seeing others' thoughts on books read since I am not surrounded by readers in RL to discuss books read, for me, this is like being part of one very large book club.
What has worked for me:
*Draft up posts way in advance (for both showcases and daily memes). For memes I created a cheat template, create the drafts a month before and then plug in what is needed for that particular day.
*Individual folders for each contact person, winners of giveaways, templates for postings, etc.
*Cataloging books received onto a spreadsheet with date received, from who, if a review is needed and when then update it when book is read, date read, rating.
Now for my concerns:
*Falling behind on requested reviews. I have a very hard time saying NO and tend to accept too many books. My feeling, and not sure if it is wrong, but my thinking is that if it is a good review, it doesn't matter when it is posted. A favorable review will bring recognition to the book no matter the time frame.
*Finding/writing fresh material for posts. Again, and especially if I get behind in my reviews, is one of the reasons why I participate in daily memes so that I post everyday.
*Social media-FB/Twitter I don't post and/or tweet unless it is pulled from my blog. Should I be more active with this?
6 Responses to "BEA–Day 5"
Unfortunately, I don't have any advice about getting behind on reviews because I have the same problem. My problem is I go from book to book and don't take the time to write a review as soon as I'm finished. I would be a lot happier and my blog would be better if I would write a review as soon as I finished. BUT…..
As far as social networking. I would definitely explore Twitter more. You can find out a lot of great information and giveaways on there.
those such great thoughts about blogging. Seriously books are my downfall too.
Well I'll tell you if I understand what you're saying the way I look at it is I've been behind on e-mail & posts for a while, but you know what? Are you punching a time clock, are you getting paid big bucks, when it stops being fun… I'm quitting! hugzzzzz & have a great weekend.
I participate in memes so I have stuff to post every day too. Although if I have a ton of reviews backed up, then I might skip the memes that week or have two posts in one day. I haven't branched out into non-review posts but one idea is to read other blogs or sites that have articles about books. Then write your own ideas on the topic or post sort of a response and link back to the original post. Or just pick a random topic and try to connect it to the book world and see what you come up with! I'm also new to social media and try to have a mix of tweets about my blog posts as well as interactions with other people and tweeting out interesting links from around the internet.
I feel the same way regarding publizing a book no matter when it is. So I hope you are right. And yes, you should get out there on Twitter and meet people! 🙂
I am behind on reviews because of time. I prefer to feel the product before hastily saying my piece…sponsors seems to be in a hurry. I don't like that.
I say, let them know upfront how your prefer to take your time and then it's more genuine.
2. Yes do get active on Twitter or/and facebook. More exposure for your reviews of wonderful books!

SRINAGAR, Feb 26: Is he alive? They do not know. Was he killed? They do not know. Where was he taken? They do not know. Why was he taken? They do not know.
Will he ever return? It too goes unanswered but the septuagenarian couple of Ghulam Ahmad Bhat and Sara Begum will wait till eternity seeking a positive answer to this question. It is how they have spent 11 years yearning to see a glimpse of their son, Muhammad Yasin Bhat—a young teacher of holy Koran from Rang-e-Hamam area in Nowhatta, old city.
"We could never know why and where Yasin was taken. We tried hard but achieved nothing except disappointment. After having exhausted all our efforts in his search, it is perhaps all over now but our parents continue to survive on the hope to see him back," Yasin's elder brother, Nisar Ahmad, tells Kashmir Times.
Spring had just returned to Kashmir when Yasin's family lost its charm forever. Yasin, the fourth son of his parents, had completed his graduation. Aspiring higher studies, he had applied for M.A Arabic in the University of Kashmir.
In the meanwhile, he was teaching children holy Koran besides serving as Imam at the local Masjid. But March 2, 2000 was to end it all.
Then 25-year-old Yasin, as usual, left for Eisha namaz with his father, not knowing that men donning Pherans (traditional Kashmiri gown) were waiting for him outside.
As soon as the duo stepped out, Yasin was taken away before anyone could figure out who took him and where?
"We did not see anyone in police uniform so it was difficult to figure out who took him," Nisar narrates. "He (Yasin) initially escaped into a nearby house but they (men in Pehrans) dragged him out and took him away. I rushed to police for help."
The call for help was still unanswered when, some hours later, Yasin returned with a contingent of army. The men in uniform locked the family in a room and took Yasin into another room which was to serve as a torture cell, temporarily.
"It was the middle of the night. We could hear Yasin scream while he was being tortured. It lasted for several hours and after that we never heard his voice again," Nisar remembers.
In the coming days the family went from pillar to post seeking whereabouts of its beloved son. The search began with a badge found in the yard the next morning and ended with national human rights commission (NHRC) report which, accruing to Nisar, termed all that the family claimed about the happenings of the 2nd March evening as "fake."
"On March 3 we found an army badge in the lawn. We took it to the police but it could not be an evidence for police."
"We went to the then concerned Deputy Superintendent of Police Tanvir Jeelani. He assured us help but did nothing for he himself was part of the Special Operation Group of Police."
"Then we registered a case with state human rights commission (SHRC) which sought details from authorities at army's Badamibagh Cantonment. Army in response questioned SHRC's authority over it, saying that they (authorities) would only respond to NHRC."v
"SHRC wrote to NHRC. And they (NHRC) sent a report sometime later which said nothing had happened on the evening of March 2."
Bhats were offered job as well as money from the authorities. But they refused it for nothing could be a replacement for the son in whose separation the Ghulam Ahmad has already survived five cardiac attacks and Sara Begum has been peering at the doors for over a decade.
"We do not want job or money. We just wanted to know whether he (Yasin) is dead or alive," says Nisar.-KT Danish Zargar
11 yrs on, family wants son dead or alive

Richmond Police fine-tuning new crime data system to help public
Jeremy M. Lazarus | 1/2/2020, 6 a.m.
Local police departments have long kept a tight grip on their information, only grudgingly releasing crime statistics and usually keeping data on officer activity off limits to taxpayers.
But the Richmond Police Department is taking a different tack.
Instead of keeping its data locked up behind a "blue wall," the goal is now to provide as much transparency as possible without disclosing information on specific incidents or arrests that involve courts and testimony.
In the process of opening up, the department is on the way to creating what many see as a national model that other departments might emulate.
A new records management system is being installed in the department with the help of Soma Global, a consulting firm. Chief Will Smith recently showed off the system to members of the media, noting it will offer city residents a clearer of view of the department's work.
The department is planning to hold more "focus" meetings to get input on ways the system can be improved before taking it live within six months.
Behind the scenes, Pierre Redding is leading the development of the new system in his role as technology manager for the internal records management system and field mobility solutions for the computers in cars.
Also involved in upgrading officers'cell phones and having patrol officers' comput- ers more portable, Mr. Redding said the new system he's involved in creating will be a sea change from what is now available to the department and the public.
The team he is working with also includes another technology manager with the department, Larquel D. Way, and two technology support employees, Lakesha S. Monroe and Natasha C. White.
He said the new system would transform the current static data that the department presents on its website into a dynamic system that will allow people to create graphs and charts and overlay maps to show them where crime is occurring and trends. People will be able to drill down into areas as small as neighborhoods and blocks and track data over short or long periods of time on everything from reported crime to arrests and internal and public complaints against officers, he said.
Instead of waiting weeks, the system will feed in data in real time, he said, something that has not been possible with the current system.
"We've never had anything like this before," said Mr. Redding, and he's not sure any other department has anything like it.
Whether the results address the con- cerns of groups such as the Richmond Transparency and Accountability Project, or RTAP, that have been advocating for the department to release more of its internal information remains to be seen.
The new system represents the latest step in the department's efforts to be more open that began under former Police Chief Alfred Durham.
In February 2018, Chief Durham began having the department to post on its website weekly crime reports that previously were only circulated within the department. Advocates began pressing him to release more information following the May 2018 shooting death of Marcus-David Peters, a 24-year-old biology teacher who stripped naked during a mental breakdown and charged a Richmond Police officer who shot him twice. The officer's actions later were upheld by then-Richmond Common- wealth's Attorney Michael N. Herring, who rejected the efforts of Mr. Peters' family to have the officer charged.

As Customer Success increasingly gains traction as a growth engine (in SaaS and beyond), B2B companies that are built on recurring revenue models are seeking ways to organize their Customer Success delivery. But what Customer Success Management means to to these companies varies widely. When SaaS executives are asked "What constitutes Customer Success Management in your organization?", answers vary with any combination of the following:
- Implementation/Onboarding
- Account Management
- Renewal Management
- Concierge Support
- Expert Services
- Upsell/Expansion
- Training/Adoption Facilitation
- Customer Marketing
Therefore, we must investigate further.
As a SaaS company that sells to and collaborates with Customer Success organizations, we recognize the vast disparity in how B2B SaaS companies charter and lead their teams. The big questions to which executives are seeking answers include:
- What will our customers deem valuable and expect from our Customer Success team?
- What (and how many) resources do we need to deliver the services?
- How are teams chartered/managed?
- What skills does the team need to have?
- How will their performance and success be measured?
- How will the function be funded?
It's clear that there's support for the concept of delivering value that is defined by our customers' attainment of success, but it's equally clear that we, the B2B SaaS industry, don't have a single standardized vision for how to do this.
One size (and shape) of Customer Success does not fit all.
Consider how Hubspot defines Customer Success:
an organizational function that helps customers get maximum value out of a product or service, while working closely with sales, marketing and product to achieve that goal.
This function varies in how it's chartered.
In some cases, this "function" is really an enterprise-wide approach or discipline, while in others, it is clearly defined and delivered by a team of humans with specific expertise. And, in still others, it consists of automated technology that delivers valuable content to customers. Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA) refers to the organizational discipline approach as the "Big C" Customer Success, and considers it more of a customer growth function. If the function aligns with a business unit, it can be either a high-touch (a.k.a. human) or a low-touch (tech or a hybrid) approach. This depends upon variables such as business outcomes being managed, the complexity of the solution, and the capacity of the customer (amongst others). Whether the CS function is "Big C" or "Little c", high-touch or low-touch, leadership is still vital to its effectiveness.
The leadership of this function varies.
As with any business objective, strong leadership is vital to successful attainment. SaaS Customer Success Management is no different. As the industry seeks to nail down where and how to manage the delivery of customer success, we work with leaders with just as many different titles as there are charters. Our executive sponsors are Chief Customer Officers, Chief Revenue Officers, Chief Sales Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, Chief Operating Officers (and VPs in each of these areas). Regardless of titles, they all share the same objective of retaining and growing their loyal customer base. They approach this objective differently, and they measure their successes differently, but they unanimously recognize the importance of their existing customers and are actively defining the best approach to balancing the value OF their customers with the value provided FOR them.
The approach of this function varies.
All Customer Success leaders are looking to find the way to deliver real value to their customers. Defining what constitutes value to customers is the first step and requires answering the following:
- Do customers simply need to be able to get your software configured and their data integrated for value attainment to be evident?
- Or do they need ongoing technical assistance to grow with the software?
- Or do they need industry expertise to help them maximize the value they glean from your solution?
Figuring out what your customers need from you forms the basis for defining your approach to operationalizing your Customer Success function. And perhaps equally as important, it forms the basis for figuring out how to self-fund your Customer Success model.
Our visions may differ, but we can learn from one another
So, our Customer Success teams don't all look the same. That's ok. Our software solutions don't either. The more we engage with Customer Success professionals, the more we learn about how they are fine tuning their approaches to boost retention rates and strike that elusive balance between what they provide their customers and how they fund the delivery of those services. What continues to be clear about the function of customer success is that there's no universal approach to doing it. One shape doesn't fit all, nor should it. But, as we continue to prioritize developing this function within our organizations, it becomes increasingly valuable to learn from one another about what works and what doesn't.

There are more blockers on the track during a jam than any other position. Learn what role the blocker plays for the team and how to spot a blocker when watching a bout.
A roller derby team is only as good as its blockers. There are 5 players from each team on the track; 1 pivot, 3 blockers and 1 jammer. There are no special helmet covers or markings for the blockers.
The blockers line up behind the pivot, 2 from each team alternated in a line and then the remaining blocker stands next to their opponent in the back of the pack. This position is appropriately called rear blocker.
The referee blows one whistle and the pack takes off. The jammers wait until the second whistle is blown. The referee needs to wait until the rear blockers cross the pivot line before starting the jammers.
What Does a Blocker Do?
Legal moves include direct physical contact of shoulders and hips, arms and elbows must stay stationary at all times. The punching and grabbing seen in roller derby bouts of the past are no longer allowed. Although, these illegal moves do occur and that is why there are referees who skate around the track with the teams to watch for foul play. In the WFTDA handbook, there are pages of illegal moves that will cause a penalty. A blocker must know how to successfully block without racking up the penalties.
A effective move blockers use involves them working together; they line up tightly, creating a wall that is difficult for the opposing jammer to get through. Giving the jammer no where to go they are able to stop her point scoring ability.
At the same time, blockers must help their own jammer advance through the pack. Jammers can push their own blockers into the opponent, or be pushed by their own blocker. After making a space for the jammer, a blocker can whip them through.
Characteristics of a Blocker
Blockers are the need to play both defense and offense simultaneously. These are the skaters that can create a wall and are not afraid of extreme hitting action. They need to be able to recover quickly from any hit and jump back into play immediately.
Blockers must know the rules as to what constitutes a legal block and what the rules are regarding being knocked out of bounds.
A blocker, like the other positions in derby, needs to have a strong core and center of balance. The harder it is to knock a blocker over or out of bounds the better. Strong players who can create a formidable wall with their teammates are desired. Team work and the ability to think both offensively and defensively at all times is of utmost importance.
Blockers are strong defenders. They need to prevent the opposing jammer from passing them and scoring. Blockers also play offense. They are trying to make room for their jammer to skate through the pack. They can push into the other team's blockers making a spot for their jammer to squeeze through.

How to make a Gabrielle Xena costume?
Xena is a character in a television show spun off from Hercules. If you want to dress as either Xena or one of the characters from the show you have plenty to choose from. Rather than give you instructions on how to create a Xena Warrior Princess costume, we have elected to offer one of the characters from Xena instead. Gabrielle is Xena's side kick in the show and you might want to dress like her this year rather than the warrior princess. If you don't want to purchase a costume you can follow our instructions.
##Things You'll Need:##
* Red orange skirt
* Brown halter top or sports bra
* Brown skirt
* Metal wrist bands
* Two leather arm bands
* Leather boots
* Blonde wig- short
Gabrielle is dressed in the same costume for most of the shows. There were some rare substitutions.
Step 1: You need to have a red orange skirt that reaches mid thigh. Over this skirt you will need to place a brown skirt. The brown shirt should be like a wrap. In fact you could use brown material for this instead. The brown layer should hang in the front and the back. The brown layer should be a little higher on the waist than the orange skirt, but still below the naval. On the brown skirt a brown leather belt should be used to hold it in place.
Step 2: The halter top or sport bra in brown will be extremely revealing. The shoulder straps should be thin. From the bra a belly chain should hand down.
Step 3: Two silver or metal wrist bands need to be in place. On both arms are two leather straps. A Celtic style necklace should also be present.
Step 4: The shoes are normally brown leather just below the knees. Often a dagger was placed in the boots and should be there for your costume.
Step 5: Gabrielle always had a wooden stick as her weapon. This staff should be part of your costume. Lastly Gabrielle either had short or long hair, so you will need a blonde to strawberry blonde wig.

It's that time of year that we take our camper to the Farm Country RV Park in Medina, Texas. We park it here for 4 to 5 months starting in November and spend a few weeks each month in Medina. It also puts us closer to our deer lease in Rocksprings, TX.
On our way out this year, we stopped in Johnson City, Texas at the Pedernales Falls State Park. We have friends who volunteer as park hosts during the months of October and November and then again in March and April of each year. One of the couples is Warren and Myra Petkovsek. Warren has written many of the articles that are published on the website. Warren and Myra co-host with their very good friends, Floyd and Myrtle Broussard.
This is the first time that we have been to Pedernales Falls State Park. Warren told us that it was a very nice park and that we should stop and see it. We are glad that we did because he was correct. Pedernales Falls State Park is a very nice park. The park has about 7,000 acres of land with the Pedernales river flowing through the park. The park has 66 RV sites with water and electricity (30 amp) only. There is a dump station on the exit side of the camping area where you can dump your waste tanks.
We were impressed with the very roomy camp sites. Our 5th wheel is 38 feet in length and we had no problem getting in and out of the park. Tent camping is a large part of the camping in the park. For those who tent camp, you can put your tent on any of the RV sites. If you like to really rough it, primitive camping is provided in one portion of the park.
Pedernales Falls State Park is a very scenic park that is located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The Pedernales river flows through the park and there is an area on the river that makes the Pedernales Falls. There is a nice swimming area on the river with a sandy beach. There are a lot of hiking trails through out the park. The trails can be used also for mountain biking and horse back riding. If you like to fish, you can fish in the river without having a Texas fishing license.
The Pedernales Falls State Park can be accessed from the junction of Highway 290 and Ranch Road 3232. Go north on Ranch Road 3232 to Ranch Road 2766. Turn right and then left onto the park road. If you are coming through Johnson City, take Ranch Road 2766 to the east and then to the park entrance.

The value of Bitcoin (BTC) – the largest digital currency in the world by market cap – has a significant effect on the values of most digital currencies in the market. When the value of Bitcoin (BTC) surges higher, most digital currencies tend to follow suit, and when it plunges down, the same trend occurs.
A few days ago, the SEC rejected a Bitcoin ETF application that was filed by the Winklevoss brothers, and this caused the value of Bitcoin to drop below the $8k mark. Litecoin (LTC), as well as other digital currencies in the market, lost a fraction of their values, but BTC is now back on its feet and other coins are right behind it.
Litecoin (LTC) Price Today – LTC / USD
At the time of writing, Litecoin (LTC) is trading at $84.3 after an increase of about 1 percent over the past twenty-four hours. The current market cap of LTC is $4.85 billion and its trading volume over the past twenty-four hours is $437.68 million.
Litecoin (LTC) Price Analysis
Litecoin broke beneath a near-term symmetrical triangle pattern to indicate that a sell-off is about to occur. Nevertheless, the support line of the digital currency is presently holding the coin and preventing further declines. Also, if the bulls defend further declines close to the $82 and $83 support level, losses could be limited.
Furthermore, the 100 simple moving average is over the longer-term 200 simple moving average to indicate that the path of least resistance is currently heading north. This means that bullish momentum could set in soon to resume the upward trend.
If this happens, the digital currency could find its way back to the top of the triangle close to the $95 and $96 marks. The immediate resistance of the coin is at the $87 mark, if the digital currency breaks over this level, it could open the door for more gains towards the next resistance at the $95 mark.

A grave misfortune has befallen me: the San Francisco Giants made the MLB playoffs. And the World Series.
As a Giants fan, you'd think I would be happy. I am. My misfortune lies not in my happiness, but rather in the shame of knowing that something as trivial and meaningless as nine guys I don't know throwing balls at each other has the power to influence the intimate details of my daily life 2,500 miles away. I am an empty shell of a person.
I recall back to my early days when I first realized sports could be something in which I had an emotional stake. It was at my dear alma mater, UCLA, where I developed an appreciation for Bruin Football. This was unfortunate, because UCLA was abysmal. But, as a loyal undergraduate, I stuck with my team and went to game after game, and my passion grew. Eventually, I was foolish enough to give into the consumerism of athletics (because that's what it's all about: money) and buy a shirt to demonstrate my unadulterated, loudmouthed pride.
It was five dollars off the discount rack at the student store (as it should've been). It was perhaps the most obnoxious piece of clothing I've ever laid my hands on, but it stood out loud and proud above and beyond the attire of my fellow Bruins, and for that reason, I fell in love with it. Our stormy romance continues to this day.
Gameday came and I put on the shirt, feeling its Bruiny powers spread throughout my itchy torso. I turned on the TV and sat, ready for my shirt to march my team to victory.
We lost. Horribly.
The next week, I put on my blessed shirt for a second attempt. We lost again. And again. And again. Every time I wore that damn shirt, we lost a game. Week after week after week after week…
But no, I loved that shirt. I was devoted to that shirt. By Golly, UCLA was going to win a game while I wore that shirt if it was the last thing I'd do! Like an amateur coach stubbornly trying to assert an inept running game, I stubbornly stuck with my unlucky shirt, foolishly trying to force luck upon it, meanwhile feeling directly responsible for every UCLA loss for which the shirt was undoubtedly to blame.
That was long ago. The shirt has since developed as a student-athlete and now wins a solid 50% of the time.
However, football is once a week. Baseball is every damn day.
My recent woes all started earlier this month when the Giants were in the playoffs against the Cincinnati Reds. They lost the first two games of the series, and their elimination seemed imminent. As a hopeless attempt at willing good luck upon the Giants for Game 3, I decided to buy a pint of San Francisco-made Anchor Steam in honor of my woeful team.
Of course, they won.
So the next day, confusing coincidence with causation, I bought another pint of Anchor Steam, and watched them again. And again, they won. And so on the last day of that series, I tried the Anchor Steam trick once again, and again, they won!
Giants without Anchor Steam: 0-2
Giants with Anchor Steam: 3-0
It was science.
But then Game 1 against the Cardinals came and I had class, therefore no Anchor Steam.
A loss. I was distraught. It was all my fault. In a fit of regret the next morning after a sleepless night tormented by horrific nightmares of Lincecum pitching stoned, I had to have a discussion with myself before the game, which once again overlapped with classes.
Quack Bro – "Dude. I know it's 10:00am and we have class in an hour, but we have to drink a pint of Anchor Steam before class. Aka: now."
Quack Ego – "No, that's ridiculous. The Giants' success is not contingent on us drinking Anchor Steam. It's just a coincidence."
Quack Bro – "No, man. They're 3-0 when we're drinking the Steam, 0-3 when we're not. It's no coincidence. It's data. Cold hard data. The Giants win when we drink. So let's drink."
Quack Ego – "No! I'm not going to class buzzed before noon!"
Quack Bro – "Okay buddy, whatever you say. It's not my fault you'll drown yourself in the agony of guilt when the Giants lose today."
Quack Ego – "No. That's final."
Quack Bro – "Okay, but before we head to class, I've got one word for you: Vogelsong."
Quack Ego – "….Fine. Grab my wallet, let's get in the goddamn car."
My lecture notes were entirely filled with doodles of the Giants logo and anagrams of their starting lineup.
Of course, the Giants won. Four wins with Anchor. Three losses without.
But the next day? The Cosmos threw me a curveball. Even with a trusty pint of Anchor by my side, the Giants lost, and my faith in beer (the one and only surefire method for success I had yet discovered as a spectator) crashed into the sewer. I was distraught.
Oh, Cruel Cosmos! Why have you given me such faith in the certainty of my deeds? Why have you teased me with such a dubious correlation only to rip it out of my heart and stomp on it without mercy? Is there no Justice? Is there no Truth?
I knew the Cosmos was trying to teach me a lesson about overconfidence. I had to play its game. I had to win back its support by rejecting the illusion of influence. I had to admit to the futility of self-determination. Only with humility would I be able to crawl out of the sewers of despair and admit my subhuman shortcomings. Only then would the Cosmos grant me grace.
We lost again the next day. Oh, Cruel Cosmos. How wretched I have become…
And then a win. Another win. A third win! A FOURTH WIN!
Quack Ego – "Ugh. Change your shirt, man."
Quack Bro – "But we're undefeated in this shirt!"
Quack Ego – "It's starting to reek. At least wash it. Please."
Quack Bro – "No, man! The detergent is Dodgers Blue. Can't wash the Orange 'n Black with Dodgers Blue."
And so on and so forth…

Freshmen were met by greeters known as Junior Deans who helped the "unusual" students (possibly the ones that have arrived from a distance). Students from closer proximities often arrived with more than two suitcases and friends or family to help them move in.

Change the world
THE impact that research can have in benefitting society was effectively showcased during the successful hosting of Nelson Mandela University's first Research for Change event this week.
The novel two-day event offered an exciting glimpse of the width and depth of the University's research and engagement across research topics ranging from citizen science through to cyber space, ecological issues, educational challenges, and issues affecting both young and old.
"There is great work underway at Nelson Mandela University. Both our established and emerging researchers had the opportunity to share their work with those outside of their discipline. We all learnt a great deal about research that is having a positive impact on society," says Prof Andrew Leitch the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Engagement.
Apart from 15-minute presentations and discussions, the Research for Change programme included a new three-minute thesis contest for masters and doctoral students.
These emerging researchers had three minutes to showcase and share the benefits of their research to the audience who then selected a People's Choice award in both the masters and doctoral categories.
Jamiellah Domingo, who is exploring new ways of writing for English second-language learners at Paterson, won the masters category, and Nehemiah Latolla the doctoral title for his presentation on this research around the indigenous Cissampelos Capensis or David's Root. (see the full list of winners below their photogograph).
"Other benefits of this event included the networking, and the nurturing of relationships across disciplines. Nelson Mandela University believes a transdisciplinary approach to societal challenges is the way of the future, so we encourage such interaction," says Dr Nolunkcwe Bomela from the Research Office, who with Prof Pretorius, was responsible for hosting the event.
"This was something of a pilot project towards introducing a fully-fledged Research Week going forward."
The entire two days of sharing was live-streamed and will now be packaged into individual bite-sized talks to enable others to view some of the research that is underway.

Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for help after the attempted robbery of a teenager in Monkton Heathfield.
It happened at about 20:00 on Wednesday 5 June as a 16-year-old boy walked along School Road.
Near the end of the road he was approached by two men who appeared out of the footpath.
One man punched him, knocking him to the ground and trying to take his bag.
The boy managed to regain his feet and run away down a footpath.
Nothing was stolen.
Both men were white and aged 19 or 20. One was about 5ft 9ins tall. He had stubble on his face and wore a black hoody and skinny black trousers. The other was slightly shorter and wore a light-coloured hoody and skinny black trousers.
The busy road is used by dog walkers and people visiting the nearby Co-op.
If you were in the area at around 20:00 on Wednesday, contact police by visiting www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/contact or by calling 101 quoting reference 5219125576.
