Business Consulting
United States - Last active: 9 days ago - Tests: 1 - Portfolio: 11
I create plans and models for entrepreneurs and startups. My documents help them pitch to investors, banks, and potential business partners. Many of my clients are founders, organizations and companies seeking to create business and marketing plans, business models, full pitch decks or online presentations. Among my past clients I have financial institutions, food distribution companies, entertainment start-ups, media websites and green energy companies, plus many nonprofit organizations. My best clients are the ones with new and disruptive ideas. In my process I ask many questions, do a lot of research, propose new ideas, explore diverse channel of distribution, provide a lot of graphics, create models using a canvas business model system, run numbers and create financial projections. At the end, I do everything I can to create useful and powerful documents for my clients. "OFF-LINE" I have my own business consulting firm working from New York City - www.glaction.com. I have an MPA from Cornell University (USA) and I speak English and Spanish. ----- MY PHILOSOPHY on writing business plan is simple: every business plan is unique and every client deserves a professional and timely service. I do not over promise, I do what I said I will do. Simple. Some business and marketing plans are designed to get a loan from a bank, others to get potential investors excited about a project. Most of the time is a tool to raise money, but all the time should be an instrument to guide your future. In my work I get inspiration from big angel and venture capitalist firms, such as the giant investor Sequoia Capital; that has invested in companies like Apple, Google, YouTube, PayPal, Instagram, Yahoo!, Atari, Kayak, Zappos, and LinkedIn. I always suggest my potential clients to read what they are asking from people that want to get funds from them: www.sequoiacap.com/ideas They are not asking for a 100-page business plan. They believe that the best founders are clear thinkers. ----- MY PROCESS is also simple. I start with your ideas and your initial data and work until you are completely satisfied. I want to invite you to see my process of writing business plans here: http://goo.gl/ugB0l1 Before you hire me I give you a very clear plan of what I will do for you, step by step, with a feasible timetable. Again, I do not over-promise, I do what I said I will do. By hours, this is a breakdown of my typical development process: 1) Business Consulting (2-6 hours) 2) Market (Research and Plan) (4 to 8 hours) 3) Financials (4 to 10 hours) - 3 to 5 years of Sales, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet forecasts. 4) Writing (8 to 16 hours) - following the format of California VC firm Sequoia Capital and adding charts, maps, graphics, etc., to clarify your business pitch. My tools are 1)Internet for research, 2) Skype for communication, 3) ASANA to organize my work, 4) Excel to plot all financial projections, 5) PowerPoint to design pitch decks, and 6) a few RedBulls to work overnight and on time. Everything will start with a Skype chat and we go from there. ----- TERMS I work around your budget. I know that startups are not cash cows. Because every plan is unique, I like to discuss final payment terms during the interview process. My original bid is a guide for the client, and is based, usually, on a week of work (about 40 hours). Depending on the nature, format and stage of your business project, my work could take about a week and in some cases several weeks. My hourly rate is $80, and usually will take me 20 to 40 hours of work to develop a comprehensive plan. If you hire me as a fixed rate contract, I operate on a 3-payment basis. The first 20% is due at project start, a second payment of 40% at an agreed upon middle milestone, and the final 40% upon completion of the project. ------- SAMPLES Looking for samples of my work? Here is a list of some of my past projects: IT service start-up in Germany, data center in Uganda, online food service platform in Brazil, crowdfunding site in California, niche social network in the UK, nonprofit in Mozambique, real estate fund in Taiwan, TV production company in Los Angeles, agro-business in Nigeria, entertainment company in Holland, publishing service in Spain, beverage company in the UK, entrepreneurial education center in Dubai, pharmaceutical start up in Lebanon, electric company in Saudi Arabia, and several iOS native app start-up in Australia, Ukraine, Puerto Rico and USA.

Singapore's productivity much lower than most developed countries, says Tharman
Published on Jan 14, 2013 12:13 AM
SINGAPORE'S productivity is "well below that in the most developed countries", said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
But the solution is not to ease up on foreign worker policies, he said in a Facebook post last night.
He had written the post in response to a Sunday Times report about the difficulty restaurants here face in hiring employees.
He said that those who have been in restaurants or coffee bars in the United States, Europe or Japan can see the difference.

2010 NFL Playoff Picks: Cardinals-Saints & Ravens-Colts Playoff Predictions
The Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints NFL Playoff Picks must be made before the 4:30 PM ET kickoff on Saturday January 16th. The Saints bandwagon took a bit of a hit as the year went along. Some of the people that were calling for an undefeated season started to worry when the Saints seemed like they were taking it easy the last few weeks. After a close game to the Buccaneers and then a few losses, many people started to wonder if the Saints were actually legit. The Saints are favored by 7 points Saturday against the Cardinals. You can bet the 2010 NFL Playoff games online at BetUs.com and enjoy a special 100% deposit bonus up to $500 so if you deposit $500 you will get $1000 in your account.
This Saturday night at 8:15 ET on CBS, the Baltimore Ravens will square off with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts come into the game as the higher seed and as a 6.5 point favorite. They are playing the game in the friendly confines of the dome in Indianapolis and they are coming off of a week of rest. The Colts have not lost a game this season when their starters played in the game. They started off 14-0 and then promptly lost the last two games after resting the starters. If you are looking for 2010 NFL Playoff Picks: Cardinals-Saints & Ravens-Colts Playoff Predictions game I would take both of the home teams to win.
The Colts are hoping that after such a long layoff, the starters will be ready to play again this week against a very tough Baltimore defense. Meanwhile if you're still wondering if the Saints are for real…stop wondering. This Saints football team is definitely for real. They are the best offense that the league has seen in a few years and they can turn it on when they need to turn it on. They'll be going up against the Cardinals defense that gave up an unbelievable amount of yards last week. I think this one is going to be a pretty easy outing for the Saints offense. They should move the ball easily and score at will.
Check out our Experts 2010 NFL Playoff Picks: Cardinals-Saints & Ravens-Colts Playoff Predictions and come out on the winning side this Saturday.

Over the past several months, I have read various candidate endorsements based on people's brief encounters with a candidate. I am writing to endorse Jim DeWees for the office of Sheriff, based on 30 years of knowing and working in conjunction with DeWees.
My opinion is based on my being a Carroll County resident for 35 years, knowing DeWees for 30 years and being a police officer for the past 24 years.
Carroll County is a great place to live, and we should all do our part to make sure it stays that way. One way you can do that is vote for DeWees to head the office responsible for our day to day quality of life.
The Sheriff's office is continuing to grow and take on more responsibility every day. DeWees has been in charge of several units within the Maryland State Police and has excelled at every one of those positions. He has the leadership and experience needed to move our law enforcement into the next phase of its growth. I have worked with DeWees on several assignments over the years where he has been in charge of hundreds, if not thousands of police officers from up and down the East Coast. He leads with confidence while taking input and ideas from those around him at the same time.
As a police officer, I can tell you with no reservations that DeWees is the right man to bring new and better ideas to this office. Over the years, he has made contacts within law enforcement agencies throughout the state, which can only help Carroll County when we need a resource that we don't have in place yet.
I hope you will take the time to do some research and read up on DeWees' qualifications. There is no one more qualified or with more experience to lead the Carroll County Sheriff's office than DeWees.
Brian Kuykendall
Letter: Support DeWees in Sheriff's race

Work is like play
TRUSCOTT — If looks could kill, No. 2800 would have laid low some hands at the Circle Bar Ranch one recent sultry morning.
She and several other mares could do nothing but watch and whinny as one by one their foals were pressed against the iron fence to be branded. It took three strong men to hold each feisty yearling so close they could feel its heart race.
A fourth marked their number, their mare's number and the Circle Bar brand. Junior hand Shannon Reeves ran in to quickly apply antibiotic ointment to the affected areas; the 12-year-old is a banker's son who's spending part of his summer learning what ranch life's really like.
"Having the mamas right here at the fence keeps the babies calmer," said Eugenie Daniel, carefully checking the breed book to make sure the blood lines of champion quarter horse Circle Bar Pistol's progeny were correctly recorded. "Less struggle, less stress."
One of the pinned foals broke wind so loudly a row of children sitting on the barn fence nearly fell off laughing.
"If you got squeezed that hard you might do that too," Eugenie teased. The indignant colt was released to its mother and all seemed forgiven.
It's been a good year so far and Eugenie and her husband Jerry Bob Daniel have a lot to be proud of at their ranch. Located in northwest Knox County, after decades of patient growth this will be the Circle Bar's first year to take part in the Texas Ranch Roundup Aug. 14 and 15.
More than just an aggregate of acreage, the Circle Bar is the fulfillment of the Daniels' dream to not only to run a quality Angus herd while being good environmental stewards, but to preserve part of West Texas' ranching heritage. Building on the operation Jerry Bob's grandfather Clyde Bullion Sr. started, over time the couple have brought in ranches owned by the Craig, Browder and Shawver families for a total of 43,000 acres.
Within view of horse pens is the half dugout Jim Craig built in 1882.
"We were all over here when we were kids," said Jerry Bob, standing on the concrete roof added to the dugout in the '50s. His eyes traced the copper-veined breaks beyond. "Right down there we found a grinding stone the Indians used when they made camp here. When you think about what those men faced to get these places going, it's pretty amazing."
Jerry Bob and Eugenie love driving visitors around to see their numerous projects. Work is play in their world and there is always another plan waiting.
They've bought up most of what remains of Truscott, the little town where Jerry Bob grew up. Ranch operations are now in the old bank building, ranch hands and others (most recently an astronomy teacher from the nearby Three Rivers Foundation) bunk in some of the houses and the old Baptist church has been converted into a handsome lodge for everything from hunting parties to family reunions.
The shell of the Browder house is also on the Daniels' list. It was gutted by fire years ago and they want to rebuild from what remains of its native stone walls. With daughter Becky about to graduate from Hardin-Simmons and son Colton grown and on his own, they talk about the Browder place as if it was a honeymoon cottage.
The couple's story is every bit as good as that of their ranch. Eugenie, born and bred to be a Connecticut debutante, instead embraced her western heritage. Her maternal great-grandfather E.F. Williams helped found the famous Pitchfork Ranch; there she earned the respect of seasoned cowboys tending mares for its famous remuda.
Eugenie and Jerry Bob met at a dance and as the old timers say, it was a done deal. He fell for the bubbly easterner with good horse sense; she admired his quiet strength and sense of humor. All that was left was for Jerry Bob to ask for her hand.
It just so happened, however, that Eugenie was also the great-great-granddaughter of Adolphus Busch, founder of Anheuser-Busch.
"Her daddy tried to run me off. He's a tough old German," said Jerry Bob, winking as he recalled initial encounters with Adalbert von Gontard. "But I told him that if she'd have me I was going to marry her."
The love and commitment Eugenie and Jerry Bob brought to the union is manifest in the Circle Bar. Heritage has given them perspective on how to strike a balance between its natural and cultivated environments. The Daniels are believers in what its rugged breaks and range can do for body and soul, welcoming young people to come and "get the big picture" of what rewards hard work can bring.
"You always feel good at the end of the day, no matter how dirty you get," said Eugenie, smiling as she glanced back at Jerry Bob. "We try to make every day count."

Bentley reports 22% global sales growth
Bentley Motors bared positive financial results for 2012, reporting a significantly increased operating profit of 100.5 million euros compared to 8 million euros in 2011. Bentley boosted its total turnover by 29.9 percents, with its profit margin increasing by 7 percent.
Demonstrating its global reach, exports accounted for 87.3 percent of Bentley's total turnover, equating to a total export value of 1.269 billion euros. The company's market share in the luxury segment also rose by 4.9 percentage points to 20.1 percent.
Bentley also made a strong start in deliveries to customers, which grew by 39.5 percent in the first two months of 2013. "With the new Flying Spur due to arrive in the middle of the year we expect to see a double-digit growth rate for the rest of 2013," Bentley chair and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber said.
The global growth and expansion of the Bentley brand was driven by 16 new global dealers in 2012, taking the total number to 173 dealerships in 50 countries. This year, 40 more new Bentley showrooms will open globally.
"Our performance in 2012 and in the beginning of 2013 underlines Bentley's position as the leading manufacturer of luxury vehicles and a truly global brand. Through sound investment and product planning, we now have the strongest model lineup ever and are increasing our market share, " Schreiber said.
The results follow another success in 2012, in which the company achieved global growth of 22 percent with 8,510 cars delivered to customers, the top three regions comprises the United States (2,457), China (2,253) and the United Kingdom (1,031).
These sales were driven by the introduction of new models such as the Continental GT and GTC V8. The Continental family accounted for 62 percent of total sales, the Flying Spur, 25 percent and the Mulsanne, 13 percent.

Regular readers of the ENGINEER'S CORNER might recall my story about air conditioning at our 102.7FM transmitter in Narragansett Pier. Well now I'm pleased to report that we have air conditioning at 88.1FM WELH in Seekonk as well!
In many ways, this is an even bigger deal; 102.7 had a hefty vent fan system that could move a lot of air. Sure, if the air outside was hot, it means the air inside was hot, too. Usually you can't cool a room using outside air below about +10F degrees above outside air temps. So if it's 90F outside, it's 100 to 105F inside...ugh!
And at 88.1, we didn't really have even that. The transmitter site is an 8x10ft shed with a single 12 inch desk fan blowing air out one of the wall vents, and no insulation whatsoever on the walls or ceiling. Temps routinely broke 120F inside, even when it was only 70 to 80F outside.
Imagine riding in an ambulance without heat. That's apparently been the reality for some people who use the New England Ambulance Company. The state Health Department is putting a stop to the practice.
The Rhode Island Health Department has ordered the New England Ambulance Company to stop running vehicles without heat. The department says it will issue fines of 100 dollars a day if the Johnston firm continues to do so.
Air conditioning. Cool heaven for those who have it, blazing hell for those who don't. It didn't used to be terribly common in broadcast engineering, but it's become moreso in the last ten years. The reason is that, more and more, audio processors, RDS encoders, audio encoders/decoders, studio/transmitter links, remote control systems, and even the transmitters themselves, have all become increasingly "computer-like" with IC's, hard disk drives, power supplies, electrolytic capacitors and the like. All things that fail quickly when operated in temperatures above 80 or so, and the warmer it gets, the faster they fail!
If you've stepped outside today, you've most likely wanted to step back inside as the temperature in parts of Rhode Island is into the low 90's.
The high temperatures are expected to extend through Sunday, with highs into the low 90's and high 80's.
Though the term "heat wave" has been thrown around, Allen Dunham, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, says there must be three consecutive days of 90 degree weather for a heat wave.

Eller and linemates Erik Cole and Alex Galchenyuk each scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Canadiens to a 3-0 win over the slumping New York Rangers on Saturday night.
Eller was a healthy scratch in the Canadiens' second and third games this season, but the 23-year-old Dane has found a home in the lineup since he has gotten in.
While he hasn't gotten onto the score sheet night after night, he is doing the right things on the ice.
"At some point in your career you have to define what kind of player you're going to be and make some decisions," he said. "I feel that's where I'm at in my career right now."
After bouncing around the lineup in his first two seasons and spending a good part of the first month of this season centering the fourth line, Eller has more recently been paired with Galchenyuk, with different wingers joining them.
"I've seen him play for a couple of years. He's got talent and can play both ends of the ice," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. "It's often a matter of confidence. His work ethic is exemplary right now. He's getting involved, he's moving his feet, getting on the puck and creating turnovers. It's paying off for him."
Talking things through with Therrien has helped, Eller said, as has speaking with the team's sports psychologist.
"But in the end, it has to come from the player himself," he said. "You can get the guidelines and be pointed in the right direction, but in the end you have to do the work yourself."
Carey Price made 17 saves for his second shutout of the season and held the Rangers to one total goal in two meetings this week. It marked the fourth time in Montreal's last five games that the opposition has been held below 20 shots.
"We addressed it tonight in our meeting before the game. We have a style to play," said Therrien, whose team is two points ahead of Pittsburgh for first place in the Eastern Conference. "It's a demanding style, but we want to be a team that's tough to play against. The guys did a great job again.
"We picked up seven points out of eight (this week). That's pretty exceptional."
The game was particularly costly to the Rangers, who have lost three straight (0-2-1) without injured star forward Rick Nash in the lineup.
New York was also missing forwards Darroll Powe and Arron Asham, and defenseman Michael Del Zotto. The Rangers then lost their top defensive pair - Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh - during the loss to the Canadiens.
McDonagh left in the second period after being boarded by Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty, and Girardi had to be helped off the ice in the third because of an ankle injury.
"Can I ask the first question? How high did Pacioretty jump on his hit? Can anyone tell me?" Rangers coach John Tortorella asked to open his postgame news conference. "I'm asking you guys. Over/under?"

NAMPA, Idaho -- The Nampa Fire Department responded to a plane crash at the Nampa Airport around 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
Officials say the plane crashed between the airport's runways.
They also say it is unknown if the pilot was trying to land or take-off, but confirm there were two men inside.
Nampa Deputy Fire Chief Doug Strosnider says one man was outside of the plane when he arrived, and another was still inside the plane. Strosnider says firefighters had to go inside the plane and get the man.
The one gentleman wasn't injured nearly as severe as the other one, Strosnider said. The other one, we're waiting to hear an update from the hospital on him.
Both men were taken to St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Boise with unknown injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will follow up the investigation Friday.
The Nampa Airport was temporarily shut down while crews cleared the debris away.

NEW ORLEANS Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday's agreement with BP and the federal government represents a critical step forward in the company's effort to make things right along the Gulf Coast.
However, the criminal investigation will continue.
According to Holder, the $4 billion in fines can't be used to offset BP's civil fines or be counted as a loss when it comes to the company's corporate taxes.
It's the largest criminal settlement in history.
Holder said that in addition to the fines, the company has agreed to plead guilty to a 14-count Bill of Information, admitting to criminal wrongdoing in the deaths of 11 crew members on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig.
The platform exploded on April 20, 2010, sending a gush of crude into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly three months.
Under the terms of the agreement, $2.4 billion of the criminal recovery funds will be dedicated to the environmental restoration, preservation and conservation efforts throughout the Gulf Coast region.
In addition to the BP agreement, Holder also announced federal involuntary manslaughter charges against the company's two highest ranking supervisors on the rig at the time of the explosion, and charges against a former top BP executive who is now accused of lying to Congress.
According to the charges, David Rainey told Congress that oil was spilling at a rate of about 5,000 barrels a day when in fact BP had estimates of nearly 10 times that amount.
'As BP now admits in responding to Congress, the company lied and withheld documents,' said Lanny Breuer, the assistant U.S. Attorney General.
Legal analyst Chick Foret said that while historic, BP can afford the $4 billion in fines. 'When you look at BP's profits of over $5.5 billion in the third quarter, maybe it's not too much of a penalty as it relates to the operations of BP.'

Twenty regional rural banks have placed orders with Infosys for its banking solution product, Finacle, which allows anywhere, any branch banking.
"We have signed 20 deals for implementation of core banking solutions in regional rural banks (RRBs) and we are in talks with other such banks," Infosys Technologies (Finacle) Head Haragopal M told PTI.
Asked about names of banks it is in discussion with, he said that it is premature to talk about clients.
More orders, he said, are likely to come as all the RRBs have to migrate to CBS by September 2011, the deadline set by RBI. Currently, there are 86 RRBs in the country of which three banks have become 100 per cent CBS.
Two of Union Bank of India's sponsored Rewa Siddhi Gramin Bank and Kashi Gomti Samyut Gramin Bank and Punjab National Bank sponsored Haryana Gramin Bank is fully CBS.
Finacle for RRBs is a comprehensive, integrated yet modular business solution that effectively addresses their strategic and operational challenges, he said.
Mr. Haragopal said, it is future-proof solution and can be seamlessly integrated with other enterprise applications. With a robust architecture and proven scalability, it ensures protection for the institution's technology investments.

What Milwaukee is talking about
Summer brings a triple eclipse
Who knew this would be a triple eclipse summer? The first series of the triple eclipses will begin with a lunar eclipse on July 7, followed by a solar eclipse on July 22, and another lunar eclipse on August 7.
Speaking of strange happenings, try this on: Various sources are reporting that LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers will have a new play pal soon. The Cavs are apparently close to acquiring center Shaquille O'Neal of the Phoenix Suns. You can follow the Shaq master'sTweets here.
Here's another strange one (and we're keeping this post Mark Sanford free). It seems Bill O"Reilly and U.S. Rep. Barney Frank still disagree on the issue of gay marriage, but they actually had a civil discussion about it. See for yourself:
Maybe O'Reilly is spreading the love because his network is poised to have its best year yet.
Actor-comedian Eddie Murphy could use a good year. He makes flops for a living but studios still want him. Why? Once in a while he hits the big one, and makes plenty of dough for desperate studios.
Murphy won't win an Oscar any time soon, but his chances have increased. The number of films nominated for best picture will be doubled to 10 next year.
Good luck, Eddie.

COIMBATORE: Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudi on Thursday visited the Government Arts College here to discuss with the teachers and students the proposal of the State Government to convert the college into a unitary university.
He promised that the college would continue to receive all benefits. Teachers will have the option to seek a transfer to other Government colleges.
"The university will be run with the present faculty. Senior staff members will be made the Vice-Chancellor and Registrar. Once it becomes a university, students too will get many benefits," the Minister said.
S. Tamilmani, faculty and vice-president of the Tamil Nadu Government College Teachers' Association said: "We are totally opposed to the proposal. We have told that to the Minister. A decision on behalf of all the Government colleges will be made after the State executive meeting of the association at Kumbakonam on August 16. The decision will be conveyed to the committee."
Students wanted to know whether a change of Government will affect the benefits.

Motorists attempting to travel KY 3459 through the Sunshine community are finding their progress difficult due to road work that has been halted due to a court order.
The city of Harlan and the Harlan Municipal Water Works Commission filed a complaint against the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet on Monday.
According to a restraining order issued by Harlan Circuit Court Judge Henry Johnson, the city has asked the court to "prohibit the transportation cabinet from excavating, exposing, digging in or around, removing support or in any way damaging or exposing the buried public water utility pipeline to the possibility of damage."
The order states the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet intends to remove a culvert that runs underneath KY 3459 and replace it with a larger concrete culvert.
A press release from the transportation cabinet advises that KY 3459 is to be closed June 19 though July 3.
"KY 3459 in Harlan County will be closed… between Gilbert Street and Middleton Street," reads the release.
According to the release, the closure is necessary to allow crews to perform a culvert replacement.
The complaint states the transportation cabinet demanded the city pay for the work.
"The defendant has demanded the plaintiff remove and or re-route said waterline at the sole expense of the plaintiff, all in contravention of KRS 177.035, which required the defendant to pay the plaintiff's costs to relocate the pipeline," reads the complaint.
The complaint further states the city was not given 30 days notice to re-route the pipeline as required, and that the transportation cabinet has refused to pay for the relocation.
There are also safety concerns addressed in the complaint.
The complaint states the city is obligated to provide a continuous flow of potable water to its customers and maintain water pressure to fire hydrants, and any interruption of service could be life-threatening.
The city is asking the state pay the costs of relocation of the waterline in the amount of $25,385, according to the complaint.

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson will pick from an unchanged squad.
Pearson named an unchanged side against Portsmouth on Saturday after getting his return to the club off to a winning 3-0 start at home to Crystal Palace the previous weekend.
He must decide whether changes are necessary following the 1-1 draw at Fratton Park.
Sol Bamba, named on the bench against Pompey on his return from suspension, is an option in defence along with John Pantsil.
Neil Danns, Gelson Fernandes, Yuki Abe and Michael Johnson provide alternatives in midfield, while strikers Steve Howard and Jeffrey Schlupp will be hoping for recalls.
Striker Darius Vassell (knee) and defender Aleksandar Tunchev (groin) are the only players unavailable to Pearson.
Kevin Phillips is poised for a return to the Blackpool squad.
A minor knock ruled top-scorer Phillips out of the 2-2 draw with former club Birmingham at the weekend, but the veteran striker played a full part in training on Monday.
Holloway has no new injury worries, but the game comes too soon for defender Craig Cathcart and midfielder Keith Southern, who miss out with a thigh injury and illness respectively.
The Seasiders have not tasted defeat for four games and, even though he was disappointed to concede a late equaliser against Birmingham, Holloway is enjoying his side's encouraging form.
"I really can't ask for anything more from the lads," he told the Blackpool Gazette. "I am very proud and enthused about what they are doing, and I thoroughly enjoyed another match (against Birmingham) with my team playing so well.
"I can't be disappointed with the effort or the skill level - some of the football is as good as we've managed to produce before, if not better."

|Hill set for finale game with Arizona

He'll leave as one of the most versatile players in the program's history, a leader who worked himself into position for a shot at the NBA.
A 6-foot-7 senior, Hill will play his final home game for the 18th-ranked Wildcats Saturday against Arizona State.
Hill has gotten better every year in the desert, raising his scoring average from 6.7 points per game as a freshman to 13.6 this season. He's also developed a reliable shot from the perimeter, hitting 38 percent from the 3-point arc, and has slimmed down to an agile 220 pounds.
Hill also will graduate in four years, setting him up regardless of whether he plays professionally.

As we celebrate 25 years of the World Wide Web, the Web for Everyone coalition wants to give thousands of people the power to learn new digital skills. The aim of the partnership is to address 'internet inequality' by encouraging people from all walks of life, young and old, to not only use the Web but create it.
British households increasingly crave broadband connections that can cope with their huge demand for the web at peak times of day, when everyone's at home and trying to stream their favourite TV shows, download films for the next day's commute, surf the internet for homework, or Skype friends and family.
I gave Facebook my golden years, but what has Facebook ever given me? It has facilitated a lazy approach to keeping in contact with people. Who wants a thoughtfully-written postcard when they can just pop open a message? It has normalised nosiness. It has led my being constantly reminded of those I don't keep in contact with anymore but can't quite bring myself to 'unfriend'.
One soggy afternoon in January when I had nothing to do, an unfortunately usual occurrence, I started to trawl the Internet for something to busy myself with. A few half-witted articles and a lot of porn later, I very much stumbled upon a web series entitled 'The Outs'. It was free. And I began to watch.
Perhaps Twitter should consider looking at verified accounts in a completely different way... maybe it should be a compulsory part of signing up for an account. If you've handed over government issued identification papers during sign-up (driving license, passport etc) to prove who you are, you're significantly less likely to start sending out death threats - unless you're stupid.
In the two decades since, the web has opened up communication and ideas in ways few dreamed possible. As a tool which enables people to speak freely with others all over the world, putting thousands of information sources at our fingertips, the web has fuelled revolutions and overthrown governments.
Ultimately it should be parents who are responsible for how their children use computers and what they access online. This could take the form of physical monitoring of younger children, using control software where necessary, but parents also need to be teaching their offspring about responsible use of the internet.
Prime Minister David Cameron is calling on internet companies such as Facebook and Google to do more to tackle online pornography. Google has already offered to invest heavily in cleaning up porn and developing a hashing technique that will make it easier to track images as they spread across the web. But who should be held responsible for content that is deemed unsuitable or illegal?
The very first mobile phone call was made (by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper) 40 years ago this April. We've seen this nifty device's value in our lives skyrocket over the past few years, with the smartphone's explosion powering a union of two of the most innovative tech platforms - the internet and mobile communication.

Prevention of lymphocytic thyroiditis and insulitis in diabetes-prone BB rats by the depletion of macrophages

Diabetes-prone biobreeding (BB) rats often develop lymphocytic thyroiditis. Intraperitoneal administration of silica to young BB rats (40-days-old) nearly completely prevented the development of lymphocytic thyroiditis as well as insulitis. Since silica is known to be toxic to macrophages, these data suggest that the presentation of autoantigen(s) on the specific target cells such as thyroid and pancreatic B cells by antigen-presenting cells (e.g., macrophages) would be the initial step in the development of organ-specific autoimmune diseases in diabetes-prone BB rats.

The food was fine, but it took two hours to deliver. I called after more than an hour and my order was still sitting on the counter waiting to be sent out. Needless to say the hot items were cold by the time I received it.

Ordered from this place because it appeared to have good reviews and a 20-35 minute quoted delivery time (I was hungry, wanted to minimize the wait!) I didn't receive my delivery until 1 hour and 15 mins after I'd placed the order, and when the food got here, the gyoza was cold and my tuna roll was poorly wrapped - rice falling everywhere. I will not be ordering from here again - ugh.

Food was ok but delivery is typical of a Chinese run restaurant. The delivery guy lied and told me he was in the lobby. He was not. I had to wait a few minutes for him. This is a bad habit since he thinks by doing this, he doesn't have to wait (I was already in the lobby when he arrived) and he will keep doing this. Or, in the future, I will take my time going to the lobby because he cried wolf too many times. Then he will think he needs to continue to lie to avoid waiting. Either case, lying is a lose-lose situation.

I was starving, so I looked for a restaurant with a short delivery time. Bingo! 20-35 minutes here. But my food took 50 minutes to arrive, despite the fact that my office is only two blocks from the restaurant. At 45 minutes, I called to check on the status, and the woman who answered was flippant about it. When the food came, the delivery man called me from the lobby and refused to take the elevator up to my floor, even though our doorman instructed him to do so. Finally, I got my food, and I was incredibly excited for my hot miso soup on a cold day. Bummer - my soup was tepid. Additionally, there was no wasabi with my sashimi combo. Definitely will not order here again.

Skylight makes the most of bland 'Pump Boys'
In the fictionalized North Carolina being served up in "Pump Boys and Dinettes," the country music pastiche that's now open for business at Skylight Music Theatre, none of the six characters actually works much.
To be sure, designer Brandon Ribordy has stuffed this really fun, vintage 1950s set - half gas station and half diner - with props suggesting that the four pump boys might actually service cars and the two fun-loving waitresses next door might actually take and fill orders. »Read Full Article(2)
Florentine finds cozy home for 'Albert Herring'
If you're looking for the Florentine Opera Company, you'll find them in Vogel Hall for the next couple of weeks, trying something a little different.
Veering away from stage-filling grand opera, the company opened a lighthearted production of Benjamin Britten's chamber opera "Albert Herring" Friday evening, in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts' smallest performance space. »Read Full Article

Reverse Osmosis Desalination Costs Analysis
Producing drinking water from Seawater became an affordable solution when no reliable source of fresh water is available. The investment costs far from being the most important consideration. Indeed, chemical and electrical consumptions are the driving operating costs.
Depending on the local energy costs, the choice of energy recovery device can be critical. The investment costs is higher with a PX but electrical costs are much lower.
In countries where energy costs are expensive, typically islands with no energy resources, costs savings with a pressure exchanger are more significative.

Womens Vapour-rise Jacket
The Women's Vapour-rise Jacket is an incredibly breathable yet wind and water resistant softshell that can be worn next to skin or as a mid or outer layer.
The Vapour Rise system uses a microfleece inner fabric to wick perspiration away from the skin then the Pertex Equilibrium outer fabric pulls this moisture to the outside of the fabric where it quickly dries. This system makes the Vapour Rise Jacket ideal for a wide range of activities from hiking and climbing to polar exploring. The women's specific fit sits close to the body around the chest yet provides freedom for the arms and lower body.
As well as fantastic moisture management, the outer is wind resistant and has a DWR finish to shed rain and snow. The fleece lining also provides a good dose of warmth for when the temperature drops.
The hood is helmet compatible and fully adjustable so you can find a great fit, and also has a wired peak and a roll-down tab.

|The best jacket ever!
|Reviewed By Maureen, 09 Dec 2014
This is the most amazing jacket. I use it for winter cycling: it is windproof, breathable, warm and showerproof. This morning at 1°C, with a thin thermal, a base layer and this jacket, I was toasty warm from the start. It will stand up to a light shower and fends off drizzle with ease. You don't overheat as the breathability is excellent and there are zips under the arms to keep you cool. At this price, it is amazing value, you won't need another winter jacket!
|Fantastic jacket
|Reviewed By Sarah, 01 Oct 2014
Great fitting ,comfortable,light weight,warm lining with lots of pockets. Slightly longer at the back to cover your bottom. Washes well
|My new favourite jacket
|Reviewed By Charlotte, 27 Jun 2014
I needed a light coat to provide a little protection from the elements for hiking, climbing, and general wear on windy days.
