In Catalonia, as in Scotland, a referendum on independence is the best course for unionists
By dismissing all discussion, Spanish President Mariano Rajoy is depriving himself and other unionists of the opportunity to make their arguments heard
In the north east tip of Spain people watched with envy as David Cameron signed his historic deal with Alex Salmond guaranteeing a referendum on independence. For in Catalonia – a region simmering with newly fledged independentistes – the path to a similar vote on autonomy is marred by an uncompromising relationship with central Spain.
In Britain Cameron has faced strong criticism from the right for even offering Salmond the chance to fashion a break from the United Kingdom. Those closer to the centre have questioned the 2014 date, which buys Salmond plenty of time to win over the largely unconvinced Scots. But two years of democratic dialogue could also muffle the cries from nationalists who rely on conflict to feed the flames of the independence movement.
Catalonia, although historically different, offers a helpful parallel. A stubborn lack of negotiation over autonomy has allowed nationalist sentiment among Catalans to swell as demands for their own referendum grow. September saw record numbers take to the streets in Barcelona calling for independence and carrying a long list of grievances with central Spain. Deep cuts, subsidies to Madrid and unequal distribution of tax revenues all came to the fore in a march which put the question of independence on the national agenda.
Similar calls for a compromise over the relationship between Catalonia and Spain have typically been dismissed by Madrid in the past. But recently, demands have been growing slowly louder as the financial crisis hit home in the region. This culminated in the unprecedented protest which was backed by warnings from the president of the Catalan Parliament, Artur Mas, that if demands were ignored, Spain would face a break-up.
Madrid's reaction was customarily firm, with conservative president Mariano Rajoy dismissing the 1.5 million-strong protest as nothing more than an unwelcome distraction in a time of real economic emergency. The president's inflammatory remarks were followed by Spanish Army Colonel Francisco Alaman offering his comments: "Independence for Catalonia? Over my dead body… and those of many soldiers."
Provocative words to say the least. 'Threatening' is the word used by commentators in Catalonia where the appetite for independence has continued to grow.
The reaction from Madrid was followed by the decision by Mas to call snap elections with the promise of a referendum on independence during the next four-year term. More recently, the Catalan president and leader of the ruling Convergence and Union party added plans to draw the European Union into the row by suggesting that the referendum question should be phrased: "Do you want Catalonia to become a new state within the European Union?"
The move pulls up all sorts of legal questions in Spain and the EU. Firstly, a referendum would be technically illegal as a direct vote on independence is currently prohibited by the Spanish constitution. Secondly, the EU has no precedent for the break-up of a member state. Furthermore, any new membership application needs the veto of only one other EU state to block entry.
The promise of a referendum has also caught the attention of other autonomous regions in Spain. Regional elections in the Basque country last weekend left separatist coalition EH Bildu as the region's second biggest political group with a quarter of the vote. And with the Basque Nationalist party winning overall, it looks like there may be calls for a similar referendum on independence.
All this while the row over Catalonia is continuing to spiral out of control. Accusations of treason have been levelled at Catalan politicians over their push for an illegal referendum coupled with threats to suspend the region's current level of autonomy. A Spanish ruling party MEP, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, has even suggested that the Catalan Mossos d'Esquadra police force be taken over by the central Spanish 'Guardia Civil, while deputy prime minister, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, has committed to using the legal powers available to block any Catalan referendum.
The threats from both sides are fuelling tension and stoking nationalist loyalties inside Catalonia where polls show support for independence has climbed to 50 per cent. The uncompromising position from Madrid and reaction from Mas has left the independence movement feeding off a diplomatic crisis. The lack of sensible dialogue about the tabled referendum now threatens to push Spain into constitutional crisis – recruiting many more independentistes in the process.
If the threats continue amid the current climate, support for independence will have grown further by 2014 which may well tip the balance in favour of a split from Spain. And whether a 'yes' vote is deemed constitutional or not, the implications would be hugely unsettling for the region, Spain and the EU.
Unionists in Britain can be thankful that they have two years of considered debate ahead. Attempts to ignite the more reactionary and incendiary forms of nationalist sentiment have arguably been doused by opening the door to discussion. The true benefits and costs of a divided United Kingdom may be reasoned with free dialogue leading to an informed democratic choice. It is an exemplary approach to self-determination and one which may work in Cameron's favour.

ManageWeightLoss.com is a free resource to help you make healthy food and lifestyle choices for you and your family.
You'll find topics that will help improve your overall health and sense of well-being related to weight loss, relationships, diet, exercises, nutrition, vitamins, prevention, and more.
The first goal of dieting is to stop further weight gain. The next goal is to establish realistic weight loss goals. While the ideal weight is a BMI of 20-25, this is difficult to achieve for many people. Thus success is higher when a goal is set to lose 10% to 15% of baseline weight as opposed to 20% to 30% or higher. It is also important to remember that any weight reduction in an obese person would result in health benefits.
One effective way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories. One pound is equal to 3500 calories. In other words, you have to burn 3500 more calories than you take-in to lose one pound. Most adults need between 1200- 2800 calories/day-depending on body size & activity level to meet the body's energy needs.
Do you know how effective are your weight loss diet pills?
Purchasing a weight loss supplement without research and the facts can amount to throwing your hard earned money out the window. There are hundreds of weight loss products online today. With all of the hype, it's impossible to tell which products are based more on marketing hype rather than true effective solutions.
That's why we researched and continuously investigate which diet pills really work. Here's a list of the top eight most effective diet supplements being used by people like you, safely trying to lose weight:

A kind reader asked me last week if I could make my unit blocks match Math-U-See. Well, here you go!
The file includes lots of units in green, tens in blue and hundreds in red. I highly recommend that you laminate these for durability and print them off on card stock. They come out nice and sturdy when you do this. You can also add a little magnetic tape to the back of them and use them on your magnetic dry erase board or on a cookie sheet, even!
I added two thousands cubes too, but didn't know what color Math-U-See uses, if they use these blocks at all, so I gave you a purple one and an orange one!
Let me know if you use these! I'd love to hear from you about how they are working for you in your school.

Rugby Union: Gala show is strictly small beer
Gala 8 Kelso 3
Aside from the fact that the Tennent's Velvet Cup final looked like a cross between hurling and shinty, the clubs, with little or no support from the SRU, have been screaming the same message. This was only the fourth cup final, and the last sponsored by Tennent's, who have cut and run with two years of their contract remaining. The Glasgow-based brewery has transferred pounds 2m to the Welsh Rugby Union and the World Cup, which hardly seems loyal to all those Scottish throats that swallowed two million pints of the stuff on Saturday alone.
The formation of the two so-called super teams, Glasgow Caledonians and Edinburgh Reivers, has left club rugby with the dregs. The cup final should be a spectacle between professional outfits, attracting not only the interest of the clubs involved, but also the floating voter. This was a domestic border skirmish between two Second Division amateur clubs and it showed.
Although the super team factor has undermined the first division teams, it has left the Borders buoyant. They enjoyed a clean sweep at Murrayfield, the Borders village Duns winning the Velvet Bowl, Jed-Forest the Shield and Gala the Cup.
There were tries galore in the curtain raisers, but for the National Velvet itself, cold porridge. Kelso, as the man in Dad's Army put it, seemed to be doomed... doomed. They lost the cup final last year and were beaten by Gala this season to the Second Division championship, although both are promoted.
Kelso gambled twice in the final and lost twice. Their South African full-back Kosie Alberts, who scored three tries in the semi-final against Boroughmuir, started the match with a heavily bandaged knee and limped off after 11 minutes. This not only persuaded Kelso to play virtually everything through their more powerful forwards, but Gala's spirits would have been raised to see the early departure of their opponents most attacking player.
Having kicked a penalty in the second minute, Kelso were very unlucky not to score a couple of tries, their outstanding flanker Stewart Bennet (an agronomist by trade) failing, by the width of a blade of grass, to touch down.
Kelso were settling for a 3-0 victory when, in the 76th minute, Chris Paterson looped outside his centres and found a gap to score the only try. A minute from time he added a drop goal. "All the Gala guys came up to us at the end and told us we deserved to win," Bennet said. "I'm afraid that didn't make us feel any better."
The Gala guys would not have said that had they lost. Gala stole the pie, and with it a cheque for pounds 20,000, but the sponsors millions have gone to Wales.

'A Dream of Iron' (Cheol-ae-kum): SIFF Review
The Bottom Line
Korean essay film draws unsatisfying connections between epic and individual concerns.
Seattle International Film Festival
Kelvin Kyung Kun Park
Kelvin Kyung Kun Park meditates on love, gods, whales and shipbuilding in South Korea.
SEATTLE — An essay film finding links between heavy industry, the lives of whales, spiritual quests and a failed love affair, Kelvin Kyung Kun Park's A Dream of Iron is an occasionally entrancing experience that doesn't come together as a feature-length film. Originally conceived as a multi-channel video art installation, the present version received the NETPAC prize at the 2014 Berlinale but will have limited arthouse appeal in the US.
In a somber voiceover, the filmmaker reads a letter to a former lover who left him saying she wanted to pursue an experience of God; scenes of rituals in an unidentified temple suggest she became a Buddhist monk. In response, the director goes on a quest to find a "new god" of his own: At a massive Hyundai facility in the South Korean city Ulsan, he pairs vintage material documenting the factory's construction with stately present-day footage. The new material sometimes recalls the work of Edward Burtynsky in Manufactured Landscapes, and when paired with the mix of electronic and acoustic music in Paulo Vivacqua's score, can be hypnotic.
But scenes of individual workers and engineers inside that plant are too prosaic for the tone poem the film is attempting to construct. Abandoning this material might have made the connection with whales more compelling: The director notes that ancient petroglyphs of whales were swallowed up under lakes created by dam construction in the area; his voiceover ties the "sublime" experience ancient people had of whales, conjured in some near-gorgeous underwater footage, to the awe 20th-century Koreans had of the iron works that lifted them out of poverty.
There's something in all this, though the director undercuts these themes by repeatedly returning to musings over a heartbreak we have no reason to care much about. (The essay's "new god" conceit doesn't require the distracting allusions to an ex-girlfriend's reasons for ending their relationship.) The superhuman powers mankind has invented, allowing Hyundai's workers to wield enormous vats of molten iron and lift gigantic ship parts with a "Goliath crane," are awe-inspiring all by themselves, and the graceful beasts that once ruled the sea make an excellent reference point. Dream clutters that picture with the concerns of individual characters, dragging on in ways that caused a healthy percentage of the audience here to walk out half an hour before the screening was over.

…They're a thing. We love them. We also know they're hard to come by on the Internet. That's why we have a team of fact-checkers double-checking everything we post, with standards that meet or exceed anyone else on the web. So go ahead and share your favorite thing from Upworthy with the full confidence that it's on the level — and that you'll look really smart doing it. Not that you need any help with that, of course.
If we discover that something less-than-facty slipped through the cracks, we'll always be up front with you. Check our corrections page for more information.
It's no surprise that thousands of people in the U.S. go hungry every day. But did you know that nearly half of the food grown and produced here is being thrown away?
The adventurers in this video take on an admirable test to see if our national obsession with picture-perfect food may be killing us all — softly.

Dance: Personal space in the balance
There are two sources of drama in this sly and fascinating show, which goes by the title DoorWays. Most immediately striking is the set: two steel-door frames and an unglazed metal window, whose apparently immutable lines turn out to be as versatile and surprising as the human element. A door, which we assume to be fixed, suddenly starts to behave like a giant swingboat; another folds in on itself to make prison bars; two frames merge before our eyes to make an outsized Velux skylight, its mobile part transformed into a precarious aerial seesaw. The engineering is a thing of beauty in itself.
Over, on and through this steel ballet move the two performers, each perversely determined to occupy the same physical space. Michele Weaver is an impish seductress with a penchant for dangling by her heels from a letterbox 15 feet up. Mike Ashcroft is a ringer for the young Ernie Wise, an earthbound bloke whose sense of outraged normality - and hilarious lack of head for heights - repeatedly tip him into apoplexy. The convulsive little jig he makes out of the act of patting his pockets to search for lost keys is a comic gem.
The gist of the plot is a tussle between this ill-matched pair over the boundaries of personal space, and as such, it goes beyond amusing spectacle to offer some pointed observations on co-habitation. There is real paranoia as Ashcroft - who likes things just so - clocks the fact that Weaver is mischievously rearranging his beloved, shiny black shoes. We know how much he loves them from a version of the old music-hall mirror routine: a natty cakewalk before the (non-existent) glass, wearing a shoe on the end of one arm as a third leg.
The relationship runs the gamut of outright war, seduction, rejection, reconciliation, conjugal boredom, and finally, after a nerve-biting spat at opposite ends of the swinging skylight, a lasting equilibrium. I suspected a technical hitch at the climax of the performance I saw. I think we were intended to gasp over the aerial finale, and instead there was black-out and a fumble. But this did not detract from a most original and compelling piece of theatre.
Slack Dance - flak dance, smack dance, anything but - has done that rare thing. It has found a way of transcribing the unsayable into a brand new form. There'll be more chances to catch up with it early next year when the show tours nationally.
If it's true that success breeds success, then, on paper at least, Girls on Tap couldn't go wrong. Take themes from the three most lucrative dance shows of recent years - Riverdance, Tap Dogs and Hot Shoe Shuffle - add a pinch of Spice, and hey presto, you have the formula: a variety show with lashings of old-fashioned singing and hoofing, pepped up with Nineties girl-power. But whereas its templates benefited from massive pre-publicity - Eurovision, telly specials, overseas sell-outs with screaming fans - Girls on Tap is working from a standing start.
Did the producers really expect to fill the 1,700-seat Southend Cliffs Pavilion merely by offering shameless lookalikes of a certain all-girl group? There was a Scary one, a Posh one, a bubbly black girl, a dippy blonde with silly bunches. They may be aiming downmarket, but even Dolly the sheep wouldn't fall for this kind of marketing clone. Sure enough, the theatre was well-nigh empty, and the show's mostly very young cast proved themselves true pros in the face of every performer's worst nightmare.
They were also battling with choreography as stale as old popcorn, from which the fashion parade of steel-capped footwear provides a nice distraction, ranging as it does from hi-top trainers to purple platform knee-boots. A preoccupation with teenage fashion dominates the girlie themes that link the songs and dialogues, many of them conducted in a nightclub ladies' loo, to which the girls retreat to bitch, preen and stuff their bras with tissue paper. Some of this is quite amusing, but it is when the loo attendant bursts into song, flinging off her overalls to reveal a series of ludicrously flashy outfits, that the show takes off. Chanteuse Christine Glen is a knock-out, whether crooning like Sinatra, growling like Bessie Smith, or coming on strong like Tina Turner. There is fine vaudeville, too, from Yolanda Clarke, and a titillating nose-to-nose catfight on the nightclub floor, if you like that kind of thing. All Girls on Tap needs to run and run is an audience.

If the Internet was a country, its electricity use would rank sixth highest in the world. That huge power demand, and the potential to drive a renewable energy solution to its sourcing is the basis for Greenpeace's report on tech companies that are moving toward one hundred percent renewable energy to power the Internet. For the report, Clicking Clean: How Internet Companies are Creating the Green internet, Greenpeace has evaluated 19 tech companies, including a review of over 300 data centers that make up their electricity supply chains. Five companies—Apple, Facebook, and Google, along with B2B companies Rackspace and Salesforce—have committed to a goal of powering their operations with one hundred percent renewable energy.

Anything in Beach House's realm is A OK with me. Your comment made me listen; loved it!
OK, I think we can be honest; he does look gay. I'm gay. First saw him; knew he was gay.
But what's most important to note is that his debut album was a huge letdown after the exciting energy of "Safe With Me," his greatest song by a mile. That and "Latch" showed promise for Sam as a pop star with a very cool sound. Instead, he pumped out adult contemporary radio sap.
Maybe he'll switch it up with a sophomore album that has energy and cool music.
Ahhh, listening to it now…for about the 20th time or so. Dang, it's so nice to have some Women-ly music again. They were great. Also, their drummer is stupid hot.
Vulnicura sounds like a cyborg opera recorded in future outer space. Björk is in queen of the cosmos mode here. Not exactly an easy listen the first go around; electronically dense, lots of strings, and challenging vocals.
Glad to have her back :)
Word. I think Age of Adz is his most adventurous and exciting album, but I'd love to hear his voice cooing over something relaxed, too.
Happy chills!!!
This album is so awesome.
Also, the last two minutes of Acid Wash could seriously be a hymn for outer space church.
Album is reallllllly wonderful. First great album of 2015! So poppy and then dreamy and always pleasing. And for me, it's the first Panda Bear album I've been able to get lost in. (Maybe blasphemous…oops.)

The State Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of a teenager who served 100 days in juvenile hall for writing poetry that lower courts had determined to be a criminal threat to his classmates. The poem, written during an honors English class when the boy was 15, said, ''For I can be the next kid to bring guns to kill students at school.'' The Supreme Court pointed out that its author, ''George T.,'' wrote ''can,'' not ''will,'' and said, ''While perhaps discomforting and unsettling, in this unique context this disclosure simply does not constitute an actual threat to kill or inflict harm.'' The court refused to categorize poetry as inherently nonthreatening. Carole Pogash

Randy Wittman is fed up.
He is the coach of the 0-9 Washington Wizards, a team with far and away the worst offense in the NBA — they are averaging 90.9 points per 100 possessions this season, that is 1.4 points worse than the historically bad, seven-win Charlotte Bobcats of last year.
Neither John Wall nor Nene are coming back soon and Wittman went off on his team in his post game press conference Monday night, following another loss (96-89 to a struggling Pacers team). From CSNWashington.com.
"I'm looking down the whole roster," he said, "and if I had a cell phone I'd be calling the waiver wire trying to find another body. I mean, I'm just searching right now — searching for people to give me consistency….
"It's just so inconsistent top to bottom," he said. "I'd love to have an eight or nine-man rotation. That's my dream. And I'm playing 12 and 13 [players] every night. You can't do that in an NBA game. You have to develop a [starting] group and a group that comes in. I'm having a tough time doing that….
"We were turning down shots to take worse shots," Wittman said. "I know somebody in here is going to ask me, 'Why do they do that?' I don't know. I don't know."
What Wittman needs is somebody who can knock down an outside shot consistently. Well, he needs a lot of things — right now, this team has no identity on offense. Most of their shots come off the pick-and-roll but nobody fears the roll man on this team. Plus they just pack the paint.
The biggest issue is a lack of shooters — in the last two games they are 9-for-60 from 16 feet out to the arc and 9-for-33 from three. That is 19.4 percent from beyond 16 feet.
Washington traded to bring in veterans like Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza to give the team consistency, to set a professional tone, to prevent things like this stretch. Bradley Beal is a rookie, you expect him to be up and down. Yes, there are injuries, but John Wall isn't the fix for outside shooting woes. The guys on the roster have to step up in the short term.

If you're looking for new country, we've got it for you. You might want to get these ones added to your I-pod ASAP. They're the 10 newest songs added to our playlist at WYRK.
Now country singer Darius Rucker has appeared everywhere from Burger King commercials to 'The Bachelorette.' Now, he's in Charleston, S.C. -- on a street sign!
During the 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock' concert, which aired Monday (Aug. 12), Darius Rucker proved that his hit single 'Wagon Wheel' is the stuff singalongs are made of.
Darius Rucker's new single 'Radio' is a perfect song for summer. The uptempo tribute to young love, open roads and, of course, the radio is familiar and easy to fall for, especially when powered by Rucker's unequaled exuberance.
Darius Rucker is one month into his True Believers Tour, but he's already got an eye on his next round of live shows. The singer says a tour with Sheryl Crow is being discussed, but he's not sure if the plan will come together.
Toby's Jeans made the final stop of their months-long journey around Buffalo at Taste Of Country 2013. Darius Rucker, Sheryl Crow, Rodney Atkins, Gloriana and Jana Kramer were the final artists to grace the jeans with their signatures!
Everyone at Taste Of Country 2013 was excited to see Darius Rucker perform, and especially excited to hear his rendition of "Wagon Wheel" live. How excited? Watch the singalong to see for yourself!
Darius Rucker was joined by Sheryl Crow, Rodney Atkins, Gloriana and Jana Kramer while singing "Family Tradition" at Taste Of Country!
Darius Rucker brought down Coca-Cola Field as the final performance of this year's Taste Of Country.
Performing a mix of Hootie & the Blowfish, solo and cover songs, Rucker sent the crowd home happy. Check out photos from the performance!
We were giving away free stuff all day at Taste of Country 2013, including meet and greets with the performers!
'Wagon Wheel' hitmaker Darius Rucker is a truly terrific performer, as evidenced by his recent smashing show at Red Rocks Ampitheatre, and he brought his stellar musical skills to the stage on June 3 for his fourth annual 'Darius and Friends' concert, which benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Rucker and pals raised over $95,000 in the process.
#1: "Hold My Hand"
I can't believe that the Taste Of Country is tomorrow!! It's been a quick 25 days, and I hope that we get to hear most of these songs from Darius Rucker tomorrow night down at Coca-Cola Field. You can bet I'll be standing in the crowd, singing along to every word.

Final Score: Detroit 98, Sacramento 92
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Rodney Stuckey scored a game-high 38 points and added seven assists, as the Detroit Pistons held on for a 98-92 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Stuckey, in his second year in the NBA out of Eastern Washington, helped the Pistons extend their win streak to six games and had his second big performance in that stretch. In the first contest of the streak, a 104-98 decision over Chicago on December 23, Stuckey netted a career-high 40 points.
He is averaging 22.7 points during Detroit's win streak, and has helped the club overcome an injury to star guard Richard Hamilton, who missed his fourth consecutive game Friday with a groin injury. The Pistons also played without Rasheed Wallace (sore right foot) and Antonio McDyess (bruised ribs) Friday night.
Allen Iverson and Tayshaun Prince added 23 points each for Detroit, while Prince also grabbed 10 boards. Amir Johnson finished with 14 rebounds and 10 points in the win.
Brad Miller had 25 points and 16 boards to pace the Kings, who have lost seven of their last eight. John Salmons had 21 points and Kevin Martin 20 in the loss.
The Kings, trailing for most of the contest, were down 85-75 just short of the midway point of the final stanza. But Sacramento chipped away, and with 2:46 left, a Bobby Jackson triple made it an 89-86 contest. However, the Kings couldn't get closer, as Stuckey helped Detroit hold on for the win.
After Jackson's shot, he drove for a layup and, following a missed three- pointer, he drove the lane again, fooling a Kings defender with a behind-the- back dribble. He went up for the layup, which fell, and was fouled in the process.
Stuckey drained the free throw for a 94-86 edge with 2:01 on the clock. Sacramento missed its next two shots, though Stuckey was off the mark on the other end.
After the teams traded points, the Kings made four consecutive free throws to make it a four-point game. But Iverson drilled a pullup jumper from the right side with under 20 seconds left to give the Pistons a 98-92 lead, and Detroit held on for the win.
Detroit used a 15-3 run in the first quarter to take a 29-18 lead going into the second, but Sacramento clawed back to get within 45-44 at the break.
Back-to-back shots from Prince and Jason Maxiell more than four minutes into the third quarter stretched Detroit's lead to 58-49, and the Pistons led 73-66 going into the fourth.
Game Notes
The Kings shot just 33.7 percent from the field, but made 33-of-34 free throws. Martin was 12-for-12 from the stripe, and Miller went 9-for-10...The Pistons shot 48.8 percent overall, but made none of their five three-point attempts and 18-of-24 foul shots.

LiveOps, Inc., the global leader in cloud contact centre and customer service solutions, announced that it will be leading another master class for the UK public sector tomorrow, 4 December, at Digital by Default at The Barbican, London. Tomorrow's class titled, "Mastering Social Multichannel Public Service" will offer lessons learned and best practices in managing, building and maintaining citizen-to-government relationships across multiple channels—voice, email, SMS, and social channels including Twitter and Facebook. This is the second master class in three months that LiveOps has been asked to provide on this topic at a UK public sector event.
"Citizen-to-government interactions are increasingly taking place online via social channels and mobile devices. Left unattended or unmonitored, these online conversations can result in misinformation which can lead to frustration in dealing with government organisations," said Marty Beard, President and CEO, LiveOps. "We know from years of experience that public as well as private sector UK organisations that choose to add social and mobile capabilities to their customer service centres, are enjoying unprecedented levels of customer service success. This master class is a great opportunity to learn proven best practices for citizen-to-government communications."
This interactive master class will highlight how leading government organisations, including Royal Mail and Wokingham Borrough Council, have transformed from traditional to cloud-based multichannel customer service to increase customer satisfaction, productivity and cost savings. Private sector success stories will also be shared from Worldwide Sports and Snap-On Tools who both use SMS to reduce call volume and increase quality of service.
Attendees will also learn how to increase agent productivity using unified tools, quality of service management tips, the best way to get started using social multichannel customer service and the value of the channel pivot. Channel pivoting enables agent-to-customer interactions to begin on a public channel such as Twitter or Facebook, then pivot to a private channel such as voice, email, chat or SMS for a more discrete conversation. Then the agent or customer can pivot back out to the public channel to publicly report the resolution. LiveOps' customers say that having the ability to pivot creates a better overall user experience.
Digital by Default – 4, December – The Barbican, London
Technology is changing the relationship between government, citizens and private organisations. What are the challenges of designing and delivering user-focused digital services in practice? What actions are being taken to ensure the hardest to reach, and particularly older people, are not left behind by changes placed out of their reach and beyond their current capability? Public Service Events' second annual Digital by Default conference will look at the progress of the digital revolution across the public sector, featuring keynote speeches from the people leading the agenda, case studies relating to what is being done on the front line, and a series of interactive master classes offering delegates the benefit of industry knowledge and expertise.

Fans of Fox's "New Girl" know to expect almost anything from Schmidt, the skirt-chasing roommate played by Max Greenfield.
On the show, he regularly shocks (and disgusts) his friends; on the Web, Greenfield's hilarious workout video - in character - has racked up 170,000-plus views in a few days. And on Thursday, fans can expect the truth – about anything they ask him.
Greenfield plans to tweet the truth and nothing but the truth for four hours today: from 1-5 p.m. ET/10 a.m.-2 p.m. PT. It's a promo for the all-natural soda Zevia, which pitches itself as "no sugar, nothing artificial." Oddly enough, Greenfield says he was drinking the soda before Zevia reached out to him.
