Over the weekend, we celebrated Independence Day. Ideals of freedom and breaking the ties that bind made me think of a few business-related ties that often bind a company. In the late '70s, IBM still had a huge market share mostly because removing its systems from a company was difficult. Everything relied on them. Legacy systems became something from which companies sought independence.
Nowadays, ASPs and other Internet vendors provide critical services, making it hard to seek vendor independence when your business outgrows that vendor or, worse, if that vendor goes bankrupt.
Today, we'll discuss several ways to work with outside vendors in ways that maintain your company's independence and lessen your reliability on them.
The Contract
Most ASP and vendor contracts include some kind of escrow clause stating your company can have access to the code and software the vendor uses in the event it folds. Though this may feel like a safeguard against an impending loss of data or function, I'm not convinced it is.
Let's face it, your company wouldn't know how to install the software on the right types of computers, how to fix it when something went wrong, and how to keep it operating. Although an escrow clause doesn't do any harm, the contract should have better safeguards in the event the company folds.
For example, there should be some secure feed directly from the ASP that allows backups of its internal data (as related to your company) on your end. For an email ASP provider, the XML feed would include the entire user list with preferences. By backing up this data, you can move on to a different vendor in the event the current one can no longer support your needs, your relationship suddenly ends, or the vendor goes bankrupt.
The Interface
I know a lot of ASPs link your Web sites into custom-branded versions of their sites. This is true for newsletter registration pages, help desks, mapping/driving direction pages, and so on. Though it's extra work up front, minimize your reliance on the ASP's servers. In an era of .NET and XML-based Web services, the ASP can provide the application's back end while your company provides the front end.
This accomplishes many tasks. It allows designers and developers complete control over all aspects of a site (including the look and feel of the ASP's offerings). It ensures a unified log-in for clients and customers, versus requiring them to log in separately to different areas of your site because they're hosted by another company.
Most important, if the ASP folds or you decide to switch vendors, the user experience needn't change. You own it on your servers. You could even develop the back-end functionality yourself and keep the front end looking the same.
ASPs and other vendors should provide core functionality your company doesn't wish to spend time recreating, such as email serving, location-based mapping, help-desk maintenance, and traffic reporting. ASPs can also provide large-scale business services, such as online auctions and education centers. The front end of all these applications should be kept as close to home as possible. Applications should be capable of exporting information in a format that allows you to back up the data in the event your relationship with the vendor ends.
That way, you can always seek independence with impunity.

LOL! He is funny when he gets it right. I'll never forget the look of total incomprehension when, in his role as the gay camp Austrian journalist, he interviewed a hetrosexual member of an American football team and asked him "What message do you have for Austria's gay community?"
Yes, I agree. I think he is very funny. I loved the fight in the hotel room, in the Borat movie.

if you want a new guy then just make a new IP
i prefer VR as long as i can use controller to play the game, AR? too much work, i never into motion control game in the first place
well i know what genre they are since i done some research, i'm curious because i saw so many topic said how awesome GTA5 is, so want to try them out sometime and maybe this sale it's a perfect time to do it
never play any GTA before (my most favor genres are JRPG and platformer) so might be interest in jumping to GTA ship with this triology, does it's worth for 17 bucks?
wow, the graphic have dramatic upgrade compare with PS3, hope the other 2 VCs will have remaster soon, they wil make perfect double collection since they are handheld title
What if, years from now sony make PC section on PSN and begin to sell all of its "console exclusive" game on PC?
nothing stop me from buying kojima's game, after that, konami can kiss my A goodbye
impossible, the battle system of FF7 is unbalance and outdate as hell, and they have to add some new feature here and there so it can follow the same direction as AC, BC, ans CC story so the complete remake is need
i'm pretty sure this is defile version, my HP bar and stamina bar about what he has when i have 50 vit and 40 end
and beside Amygdala is not hard when you stick to its tail and dont go crazy with your attack then all it does it jumping around like a crazy
agree, this game have more bugs than AC: unity, wonder how dev can get away with it but ubisoft geta sh*tstorm from unity

this game look great but maybe they should try to redesign the UI, it look a bit mess up especially in fighting game
i don't even getting pass the intro loading bug to play this game, just throw it to my backlog now and will try it again when the new patch go live
PS: it's PS4 version and this is my first game of CDPR studio, going to take note at that one and never get thier game day 1 again, sadly

Staver: Gay Juvenile Offenders Were Probably Sexually Abused, Which Is Why They Need Christian Counseling
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Mantyla, Thursday 08/13/2015, 10:44am
In 2014, the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) implemented a policy prohibiting "staff and volunteers from discriminating against youth based on sexual orientation or gender identity" and that obviously did not sit well with the anti-gay activists over at Liberty Counsel. Last month, Liberty Counsel sent a letter to the DJJ on behalf of a Christian minister and volunteer who refused to abide by the policy, arguing that the policy "creates an unconstitutional, religious litmus test" and discriminates against the Bible and Christians.

On today's "Faith and Freedom" radio program, Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver and Matt Barber called for the creation of "sanctuary states" where Planned Parenthood facilities are defunded and shut down and abortion is simply outlawed by Republican governors and state legislatures.

On today's "Faith and Freedom" radio program, Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver and Matt Barber took issue with the recent decision by the Boy Scouts of America to lift its ban on gay Scout leaders, with Staver declaring that the organization will now become a "playground for pedophiles."

"Now [the organization will] allow homosexual young boys in the Scouts and allow homosexual leaders in the... MORE >

Liberty Counsel, the right-wing legal group which has called for civil disobedience and a revolution to resist the Supreme Court's decision on marriage equality, has been defending a county clerk in Kentucky who was sued for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The group's founder, Mat Staver, who argues that the states and cities should simply ignore the marriage equality ruling, announced today that his group is now filing a lawsuit on behalf of the Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis, against the state's governor, alleging that his enforcement of the Supreme...

The right-wing legal group Liberty Counsel has been encouraging public officials from county clerks to governors to ignore the Supreme Court's decision striking down gay-marriage bans nationwide, and as part of this work is representing Kim Davis, a Kentucky clerk who is refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. Liberty Counsel's main argument in the Kentucky case is that Davis' religious liberty is being violated because she is being forced to do her job and issue licenses for legal marriages between people of the same sex. In fact, LC argues in a... MORE >

Liberty Counsel activists Mat Staver and Matt Barber are jubilant over a court ruling that a Houston nondiscrimination ordinance must be put up for a popular vote, even after the city found that opponents had not gathered enough valid signatures to put it on the ballot. Barber declared on a recent episode of LC's "Faith and Freedom" program that not only was the Texas Supreme Court decision a "victory for the rule of law," but it was a victory for women and children who will no longer be in danger of being attacked by "perverts" in "miniskirts...

Home > Press > Yamaha Introduces World's First Boat Hulls Engineered Using Nanotechnology
Lighter, Stronger Nanotech Materials Create New Opportunities for Boat Builders
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA today unveiled the world's first line of personal watercraft hulls, decks and liners manufactured with a proprietary nano-engineered material called NanoXcel(TM) that significantly increases performance by decreasing weight by 25 percent.
Yamaha introduced the NanoXcel hulls, decks and liners on its new
SHO(TM) and HO WaveRunners(R) during opening ceremonies of the company's
worldwide dealer conference that began yesterday in Sandestin, Florida.
Yamaha utilizes a state of the art, environmentally-sound, high
compression molded process to create its personal watercraft hulls, decks
and liners. The investment in this unique process enables the creation and
exploitation of a range of new technologies on the cutting edge of
engineering. In an effort to reduce weight and increase performance, Yamaha
engineers have deployed an exclusive, nanotechnology formula, called
NanoXcel, in its hull, deck and liner manufacturing.
The result is an important manufacturing achievement -- the ability to
create hulls, decks and liners that are 25 percent lighter than before
while being significantly stronger.
Yamaha's announcement marks the industry's first significant evolution
in hull and deck construction in decades and begins a new era of
technological advancements aimed at meeting the comfort and performance
characteristics demanded by a new generation of boat buyers.
"Consumers will instantly be able to feel the difference provided by
NanoXcel. The lighter weight material, with its remarkably smooth finish,
is more nimble and agile in the water than anything else we've sold," says
Mark Speaks, president of Yamaha Watercraft Group. "We will be continuing
our pursuit of advanced technologies wherever we can find real benefit to
the consumer."
For 2008, Yamaha models that feature NanoXcel hulls, decks and liners
include the all-new Yamaha FX Cruiser(R) SHO(TM), FX(R) SHO(TM) and
Yamaha's High Output models. These models are available today and start at

Former Minnesota GOP Chairman Ron Carey, who served a brief stint as U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's chief of staff, has told the Associated Press that she's not ready for the White House.
The quote, coming on the eve of Bachmann's keynote speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., is not likely to help her in Saturday's presidential straw poll, which also includes former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
"While she passes the conservative test, my opinion from my association with her is she's not going to be an electable candidate for us," Carey told AP reporter Brian Bakst. "And even if she were elected I don't believe she would be ready for the position of the president of the United States."
Carey supported another social conservative for president in 2008: former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

The crash occurred at around 12:30pm just south of Northrop. 31-year-old Amanda Hallett of Spencer, Iowa was driving a Ford Explorer northbound on 15 when she collided with the southbound Freightliner semi driven by 43-year-old Todd Handevidt of Fairmont. Both of them were taken to the Fairmont Hospital following the crash, and their injuries are reportedly non-life threatening.

Super Rugby
Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett says his side face a simple task of throwing the kitchen sink at the Crusaders when they return from the Super Rugby break.
High fives in the coaches box marked the end of the Hurricanes' 33-12 win over the Waratahs on Saturday night, but not just because they'd achieved a rare win in Sydney.
The scenes of jubilation were sparked by replacement halfback Chris Eaton's try on fulltime, one that provided a bonus point that has shunted his side into sixth place on the ladder.
"To get that try on fulltime was great, particularly from a planned lineout move," Hammett said yesterday.
"We have those moves every game, but they don't always come off, so for it to come off in a major play and to get the bonus point there were a lot of high fives in the coaches' box."
The Hurricanes' eighth win of the season lifts them a point clear of the Highlanders and ahead of the Sharks, who faltered with a 38-28 loss to the Lions, on points differential.
Crucially, they are now just six points behind the Crusaders, who they play immediately after the competition's three-week break, followed by a bye before the final round robin match against the Chiefs in Wellington.
"It'll be interesting to see how the game is taken on after the break and what the impact of All Black rugby does," Hammett said. "I'm as interested as anyone to see how it all unfolds.
"It's exciting for us as far as where we are going into the break. We get a chance to recoup and recover and if we could come back and beat the Crusaders we'll have that last home game against the Chiefs which could mean a hell of a lot, it could be a massive game.
"From a marketing and excitement point of view for the players there is still a hell of a lot to play for.
"We'll throw everything at both games."
And Hammett indicated his side might be under less pressure than their more fancied opponents.
"Our situation's a bit different. If we are in the top six or not we are trying to build something that's a bit bigger than just this year."
Hammett's players will have a varied schedule in coming weeks.
Six players – Brad Shields, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Dane Coles, James Broadhurst, Faifili Levave and Richard Buckman – will assemble on Friday to play in the North-South rugby fundraiser match in Dunedin.
And Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea, Conrad Smith and Victor Vito will be involved in the All Blacks' test series against Ireland.
There is also a friendly match against the Reds on the Gold Coast to fit in, one that will provide valuable game time for some of the Hurricanes' less utilised squad members.
Hammett was most pleased with the defence against the Waratahs after his side held their opponents tryless for the first time this season, at one stage repelling 16 phases before responding with three tries in the final quarter.
Repeatedly this year reserves like hooker Motu Matu'u, loose forward Shields and halfback Eaton have provided polished and energetic finishes.
In Sydney it was no different, with first five-eighth Tusi Pisi putting an accurate punt to the corner where a smart lineout move saw Eaton dive over to add to tries from Savea, Matu'u and Smith.
Meanwhile, four tries to wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma played a huge part in the Chiefs repelling a fired up Blues side at North Harbour.
The 41-34 win gives the competition-leading Chiefs some breathing space ahead of tough matches against the Highlanders, Crusaders and Hurricanes.
The Brumbies remain well placed to win the Australian conference after their win over the Melbourne Rebels, while a Bryan Habana-inspired Stormers, who have a good run home, firmed as the likely South African champions with a 19-14 win over the Bulls.
