I booked tickets to see Dirty Dancing through Lastminute.com. The sales adviser was very pushy & gave me completely false information so that i made the purchase. Afterwards, i called the theatre as he advised to see what seats i had been allocated & to change them if i wasn't happy with them, only to be told that this was not possible. I phoned to complain that i had been given incorrect information, was even given a transcript of the booking telephone call which clearly shows that what i was… Read Full ReviewVisit lastminute.com

For the first time, we purchased a package from lastminute.com for New York for £1118.19. They advertised a hotel The Pennsylvania - sadly, read reviews after a friend mentioned. The hotel reviews were extremely poor. Spoke with LastMinute - they agreed to allow me to rebook a hotel (agreeing to refund me £322)after I booked another hotel with them. I found a hotel and after discussion with them they advised it was £945. Trustingly, I paid them this money but did asked the agent to escalate… Read Full ReviewVisit lastminute.com

I have used lastminute.com many times over the past 4 four years for accommodation, and everything worked OK, never had any issues. However, I booked return flights from London to Italy via BA with 6 months' notice, and I regretted it a thousand times: A month after the booking they emailed me to tell me that the flights changed and I'd be departing later from a different airport!

No. 24 Baker falls to No. 10 Missouri Valley
BALDWIN CITY, Kan. – For the second straight week the Baker (0-2, 0-1) offense struggled to put points on the scoreboard.
Heading into the fourth quarter, Missouri Valley (1-0, 1-0) held a 17-0 advantage before Baker finally struck on a costly turnover by the Vikings.

Rivalry renewed, No. 24 Baker and No. 9 Ottawa set for gridiron battle
OTTAWA, Kan. – Storied history, past glory, and winning tradition are all things that come to mind when you think about the Baker and Ottawa rivalry.
Both teams have trophy cases showcasing past victories against each other, yet the teams have not faced off with each other since 1993. It only seems fitting in a season celebrating 120 years of Baker football, that the two teams meet again in the Victory Sports Network First Down Classic.

Wildcats not surprised by No. 24 ranking
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Expectations for a strong football season are nothing new in the Mike Grossner era at Baker University. But as far as other coaches are concerned, the Wildcats aren't one of the top programs to fear.
The Wildcats are ranked No. 24 in the NAIA Football Preseason Coaches' Poll, and were picked fifth in the Heart of America Athletic Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll.

Watch a slideshow of Sunday at Bumbershoot, featuring Howlin Rain. Photo by Chris Kornelis.
Who: Howlin Rain
Where: Rock Star Stage
When: Sunday, August 31
I love that Ethan Miller of Howlin Rain has worn the same clothes each time I've seen his band Howlin Rain in the last year (actually, that also includes the Comets on Fire performance at SP20). His 70s-heavy hippie prog blues jams just keep getting more seamless and Howlin Rain now seems like more of a band, working as a cohesive unit. He scorches the sky with his guitar pyrotechnics: Fuzzy, heavy, blazing, amazing...easily the best thing I'll see all weekend.

Alang has taken and successfully repaid her loans three times and she says that with this new, requested loan, she will buy plastic paper in bulk and store it in her business site. Also, part of the loan will be invested in her clothing business. Alang will buy clothes in town markets and retail them in local markets around the region.
She believes this business will be successful because she has been involved in this line of business for a long time and has experience in the business. She is very sure to obtain maximum profit from this business. With this business activity, the community will have a regular source of plastic paper of all types. Also, the community will have a good supply of clothing because people will not go a long distance to buy clothes, both for themselves and their children, at moderate price.
With the profit from this loan, Alang will educate her children, provide three square meals to her family, cater for her children's medication, and provide other necessities to her family. She prefers Grounded and Holistic Approach for People's Empowerment (GHAPE) loans because of low interest rates and convenient repayment intervals, and the training offered at GHAPE. Also, the social talks at GHAPE meetings are of interest to her.

The possibility of a five-year moratorium was presented to the city council that would allow AU Associates, the company that renovated the Robertson Building, to "waive" their taxes during that timeframe.
The Washington County Board of Education met two times this month, once in a special session last week, where it had some topics of interest, which were discussed.
In the special-called meeting, the board met with attorney Bob Chenoweth to discuss the contract presented to the board about having students from Washington County High School and Washington County Commander Academy take employment with Adecco for co-op experiences.
But because of the details in the contract, the schools will no be getting a co-op experience with Adecco, which is a staffing agency.
It's not very often that there are 10 goals scored in one women's soccer match, but that's how many were scored on Saturday afternoon when the Patriot women's soccer team (5-7) defeated Oakland City (Ind.) 7-3.
It was a career day for freshman, Bethany Massey. The Oldham County, Ky. native netted the first hat-trick of her career to lead the Patriots in the win. Four other Patriots also found their name in the scoring column to finish off the 7-3 victory.
After suffering a tough loss to perennial power Lindsey Wilson College earlier in the week, the St. Catharine College men's soccer team got back on track with a shutout victory over Oakland City (Ind.) on Saturday afternoon.
The Patriots (6-6) were led by Marvin Wesselburg (Essen, Germany), who posted a pair of goals and an assist in the 3-0 win. Bradley Wilson (Doncaster, England) scored the other goal for the Patriots to cap off the scoring. Wilson also added an assist to his stat line. Joe Jessop (Lincoln, England) added an assist for the Patriots as well.
The Washington County Commanderettes volleyball team fell against the Bardstown Tigers in three straight sets (25-16, 25-18, 25-20) on Thursday night during its final district match of the regular season.
A win against Bardstown (17-10, 4-4) would have ensured the Commanderettes (13-16, 3-5) an opening-round bye and the opportunity to only need one win in order to secure a trip to the 5th Region Volleyball Tournament and a spot in the district finals.
The Washington County Commanders picked up their first district win in convincing fashion on Friday night, defeating the Shawnee Golden Eagles by a score of 51-26.
What started out as a closely contested matchup between the teams quickly turned into a rout. After the Commanders (4-3, 1-0) scored on their opening possession, the Golden Eagles (0-6, 0-1) answered with a touchdown of their own.
But the Commanders pulled away with three unanswered scores to go up 29-6 and had a 35-12 lead going into halftime.
Washington County High School golfer Emily Cox competed in her second consecutive appearance in the KHSAA Girls Golf State Championship this past weekend, but missed the cut after carding a 92 during the event's opening round on Friday.
Cox, a junior, made par on four of her 18 holes at the Bowling Green Country Club, including a par-four and three par-three holes. She also bogeyed 10 and double-bogeyed four holes to round out her scoring for the day.
Washington County Fiscal Court had a short but productive meeting Monday morning when it formed a number of committees for various reasons in the county.
From the hot, humid and dangerous environment of the Guadalcanal in 1943 to the comfortable 74 degrees on Sept. 26, 2015, in Washington D.C., Wesley Shewmaker sure knows how to make his way around in the world.
Shewmaker, 92, a U.S. Army veteran who served in the Pacific during World War II, recently got the chance of a lifetime when he took a trip east on the Honor Flight.
The Honor Flight is an all-expenses paid trip for veterans that takes them to Washington D.C., for one day to visit memorials and have the chance to reflect on their service and sacrifices.
About 2,000 runners will once again be passing through Washington County this Friday as part of the annual Bourbon Chase.
The event is a 200-mile journey that takes participants through bourbon distilleries all across the state, and each year, the trail takes runners through Washington County.
There will be three exchanges in Washington County this year, with the longest leg of the entire 200-mile race being the 8.9-mile stretch from Springfield's Farmers Market to New Beginnings Church on Hwy 150.

Drug Suppliers Face the Music in Illinois
(MRK - Get Report) and Cardinal Health (CAH - Get Report) revealed that they have fielded subpoenas from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Merck said the prosecutor asked for information "related to repackaging of prescription drugs."Then Cardinal issued a similar announcement, saying Illinois had begun "examining whether the company presented or caused to be presented false claims for payments to the Illinois Medicaid program related to repackaged pharmaceuticals." Drug manufacturers such as Merck sell much of their supplies to three major distributors, including Cardinal, that operate drug repackaging arms. Those repackaging units break down bulk supplies and sell the drugs to pharmacies in more manageable quantities. Now, Madigan seems to be questioning the big players in the drug supply chain. Cardinal has portrayed its own repackaging unit, National PharmPak, as the largest operation of its kind. Competitors AmerisourceBergen (ABC - Get Report) and McKesson (MCK - Get Report) run giant repackaging units as well. During its investor day last year, AmerisourceBergen said the company's American Health Packaging division has "exceptional relationships" with 14 of the 17 largest brand-name drug manufacturers. Similarly, McKesson has said in the past that its own Rx-Pak division handles more than 175 different brand-name drugs. "We do not believe Cardinal is the target of the investigation at this point," J.P. Morgan analyst Lisa Gill wrote after the company disclosed the investigation earlier this month. "We believe the subpoena serves a fact-finding purpose, and we expect others in the pharmaceutical channel to receive similar subpoenas." In the meantime, Merck and Cardinal have said very little about their own subpoenas. Merck spokeswoman Amy Rose simply confirmed that the company had "received a subpoena, responded to it and is cooperating with the investigation." Cardinal didn't return phone messages from TheStreet.com seeking further elaboration on Tuesday.

A D.C. Theatermaker's Shockingly Sudden Exit
The e-mail came just a few weeks ago. The header said "A Huge Favor." For Gaurav Gopalan, Heather Haney would probably have done two. She was that fond of him. Many people were.
They had met in the spring of 2006, soon after Gopalan left a voicemail asking if Haney wanted to try out for an upcoming production of Macbeth at the Washington Shakespeare Company.
"There was this incredibly beautiful voice," she remembers, "asking me to audition for the Scottish Play." She'd realize when she met him that Gopalan was beautiful in person, too.
Not just handsome—though he was certainly that. He was joyful, kind, sweet, his friends say. And what made him beautiful was "an insatiable appetite for life," Haney says. He was "always looking to learn more, about himself, about others, about theater—he was always discovering something."
Gopalan was discovered unconscious on the street around 4 a.m. Saturday morning, according to The Washington Blade. He was almost exactly two blocks from his home in Columbia Heights. He died not long after. He was 35.
He showed no signs of significant trauma. A toxicology report is pending.
Without his ID, dressed as he was, he was just enough unlike himself that it would take police three days to discover his name.
Gopalan moved to D.C. from India, where he'd gotten a solid education at what Studio Theatre co-founder Joy Zinoman—who'd eventually teach him in a directing class, and who'd sit talking with him about Sanskrit epics, and Eastern spirituality, and Chekhov—calls "good British colonial private schools." His family, now in Kathmandu, Nepal, was well-to-do. And he had a passion for Shakespeare.
"He told me once that his mother told him that everything he needed to know about Western culture, you can learn from reading Shakespeare and the King James Bible," remembers Christopher Henley, who worked often with Gopalan at what was then Washington Shakespeare Company. (The outfit now bills itself as WSC Avant Bard.) "But she said that most of the good things in the King James are also in Shakespeare, so he could just read that."
Gopalan basically threw himself at Henley's company.
"He just out of the blue contacted the theater, and said 'I love Shakespeare, I'll do anything,'" Henley remembered. He worked first on a production of Richard II, and proved focused and diligent enough that the troupe would soon ask him to be its resident assistant director.
Kathleen Akerley, who appeared in that Richard, remembers a collaborator who was "unbelievably loyal" to director Robert McNamara, whose style was causing some confusion, perhaps even some rebellion, among the cast. Gopalan cast himself as a translator, Akerley remembers, firmly defending the director's vision and patiently helping the cast toward an understanding of why what he wanted was going to work.
"And then he gave the same devotion to Jose [Carrasquillo] on the Scottish Play," Akerley says. "How could he serve, was the philosophy he brought into the room."
Gopalan—an aerospace engineer with a specialty in helicopter rotors and the noise they make—brought a scientist's rigor to the theater, Haney says. He could quote Shakespeare verbatim, and he had an analytical bent when it came to the text.
"That was a benefit," Haney says. "We artist types can get lost in the weeds of emotion. "
He'd dialed back his theater commitments in the last couple of years, wanting to focus on his aerospace career. He did consult with Haney and the cast of Constellation Theatre's Ramayana, though, talking them through the epic's broad ideas about the dharma and illuminating other aspects of Hindu spirituality.
"It was such a gift," says Haney, who played the female lead in the show. "He'd tell us that there's meaning in everything we do—and that none of it matters." He taught them, she says, that the divine is in everything, even if it's hard to discern.
Haney liked to tease Gopalan about how he explained his all-embracing affection for that all-pervasive divine. He said, as she recalls it: "I love this table as much as I love Heather Haney, but that doesn't mean I don't love Heather Haney."
And so when that e-mail came—the one asking for "A Big Favor"—Haney responded as you might expect, with an enthusiastic of course. Of course she would meet him before the opening-night party. Of course she would keep him company as he got ready.
Of course she would help him get his makeup right.
He turned up with a department store counter's worth of products, Haney says. "He'd snagged everything he might possibly need. That was Gaurav in a nutshell; he always overprepared."
And so it was that on the evening of Aug. 29, at the premiere of WSC Avant Bard's Happy Days, Gaurav Gopalan surprised and delighted many of his theater friends by presenting himself as Gigi. The name may have been inspired by the nickname Haney had used for him: G.G., for his initials.
He may have deceived a few people too, at least for a little: Christopher Henley remembers him chic, in sunglasses, talking to acquaintances who didn't seem to recognize Gaurav in Gigi, not giving away the game.
It seemed to be a playful announcement, by and large. It wasn't that Gopalan was surfacing some long-buried agony; it wasn't that he was revealing himself as a transgender woman shaking free the bonds of a male body, or even taking the first steps toward what he thought of as a transgender identity. His friends are clear on that.
"There was a comfort in how he was deciding to present" himself that night, Henley says. And from Haney: "It was something he was exploring, something he was trying." In a way that might have been connected with his spirituality, "he saw himself as male and female—everyone possesses male and female, he believed. They're both important. I think it was a small part, the newest part" of his sense of self.
It's true he was a little nervous, Haney and Henley say, wanting to be sure his look was perfect. He wondered what people would say, how they'd talk about what he was trying to do.
"He looked fabulous," Henley says. "I said to him, 'You're like a character in a Godard film.'"
"He was so happy," Haney says.
Reports from last week are sketchy. Last Thursday, Henley says, Gopalan left him a long voicemail message, "full of ideas." He might want to pitch WSC Avant Bard on a production of Shakespeare's The Two Noble Kinsmen, or maybe a Sanskit epic that he particularly liked. Or he might produce something for Capital Fringe. Maybe what he ought to do was form a company of his own, concentrating on world classics.
On Friday, he set out as Gigi, heading south, stopping by the Cork Market wine shop on 14th Street NW. Then he paid a call at Studio Theatre, where he asked after Zinoman, with whom he'd worked on 2007's The Pillowman. He was animated. He wanted to talk to her about this new persona, this new expression of his feminine side.
She wasn't in. He caught up with a couple of her colleagues instead. He left the wine as a gift.

A Cisco Catalyst Switch includes hundreds of commands to fulfill the requirement of network. In this article, I will explain the essential commands. As a instructor I can personally assure you that those individuals who spent time in learning the essential technologies have always had a much higher chance of success, both in exam and on job.
To take full advantage of this article I recommend you to use Packet Tracer software. Packet Tracer is a network simulator software developed by Cisco System for critical hands-on experience. This software includes all necessary devices for the practice of entry level cisco exams. You can download Packet Tracer freely from our site. For this article I assume that you have packet tracer installed on your system.
Create a topology as showing in following image. Alternatively you can download this preconfigured topology.
Download pre configured practice topology for basic switch configuration commands
In this topology
Click Switch1 and click CLI menu item and press Enter Key
Cisco switches run on proprietary OS known as Cisco IOS. IOS is a group of commands used for monitoring, configuring, maintaining cisco devices. For security and easy administration, IOS commands are divided in the set of different command modes. Each command mode has its own set of commands. Which commands are available to use, depend upon the mode you are in. Use following table to navigate between different switch command mode.
|Command to enter
|Command to exit
|User EXEC
|Allow you to connect with remote devices, perform basic tests, temporary change terminal setting, list system information
|Switch >
|Default mode after booting. Login with password, if configured.
|Use exit command
|Privileged EXEC
|Allow you to set operating parameters. It also includes high level testing and list commands like show, copy, debug.
|Switch #
|Use enable command from user exec mode
|Use exit command
|Global Configuration
|Contain commands those affect the entire system
|Switch (config)#
|Use configure terminal command from privileged exec mode
|Use exit command
|Interface Configuration
|Contain commands those modify the operation of an interface
|Switch (config-if)#
|Use interface type number command from global configuration mode
|Use exit command to return in global configuration mode
|VLAN configuration
|Create new VLAN or configure, modify, delete existing VLAN.
|Use vlan vlan-id from Global configuration mode
|Use exit to return previous mode. Use end command to return in privileged exec mode.
|Line configuration
|Line configuration commands modify the operation of a terminal line. Line configuration commands always follow a line command, which defines a line number.
|Use line vty line_number [ending_line_number] from global configuration mode
|Use exit command to return in global configuration mode.
Switch provides two types of context sensitive help, word help and command syntax help.
Word help is used to get a list of available commands that begin with a specific letter. For example if we know that our command begin with letter e. We can hit enter key after typing e? at command prompt, it will return with all possible commands that begin with letter e.
We can list all available commands, if we don't know the initials of our command. For example to list all available commands at User exec mode, just type ? at command prompt and hit enter key.
Command syntax help can be used to get the list of keyword, commands, or parameters that are available starting with the keywords that we had already entered. Enter a ? after hitting a space and switch will return with the list of available command options. For example to know the parameters required by show ip command type show ip ? and prompt will return with all associate parameters. If prompt returns with <CR> only as option, that means switch does not need any additional parameters to complete the command. You can execute the command in current condition.
Switch name can be set from global configuration mode. Use hostname [desired hostname] command to set name on switch.
Passwords are used to restrict physical access to switch. Cisco switch supports console line for local login and VTYs for remote login. All supported lines need be secure for User Exec mode. For example if you have secured VTYs line leaving console line insecure. An intruder can take advantage of it to connect with device. Once you are connected with device, all remaining authentication are same. No separate configuration is required for further modes.
Password can be set from their respective line mode. Enter in line mode from global configuration mode.
VTY term stand for virtual terminal such as telnet or SSH. Switch may support from five to thousand of VTYs lines. By default first five (0 - 4) lines are enabled. If we need more lines, we have to enable them manually. 2960 Series switch supports 16 lines. We can set a separate password for each line, for that we have to specify the number of line. In our example we set a common password for all lines.
Above method is good for small companies, where number of network administrators are very few. In above method we have to share password between all administrators. Switch supports both local and remote server authentication. Remote server authentication is a complex process and not included in any entry level exams. For this article I am also skipping remote server method. In local database authentication method switch allows us to set a separate password for each user. Two global configuration commands are used to set local user database.
Switch(config)#username [Username] password[test123] Or Switch(config)#username [Username] secret[test123]
Both commands do same job. Advantage of using secret over password is, in secret password is stored in MD5 encryption format while in password password is stored in plain text format.
Along with User Exec mode we can also secure Privilege Exec mode. Two commands are available for it.
Switch(config)# enable password Privilege_EXEC_password or Switch(config)# enable secret Privilege_EXEC_password
Again as I mentioned earlier password stored with secret command is encrypted while password stored with password command remains in plain text. You only need to use single command. If you would use both commands as I did, enable secret command would automatically replace the enable password command.
During the practice several time we have to reset switch to factory defaults. Make sure you don't run following commands in production environment unless you understand their effects clearly. In production environment we take backup of configuration before removing it. In Lab environment we could skip it. Following commands will erase all configurations from switch( without taking backup, I would include this process with backup in next article).
Switch>enable Switch#delete flash:vlan.dat Delete filename [vlan.dat]? [Press Enter Key] Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm] [ Reconfirm by pressing enter key] Switch#erase startup-config Switch#reload
IP address is the address of device in network. Switch allows us to set IP address on interface level. IP address assigned on interface is used to manage that particular interface. To manage entire switch we have to assign IP address to VLAN1( Default VLAN of switch). We also have to set default gateway IP address from global configuration mode. In following example we would assign IP 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.0 to VLAN1 and set default gateway to 172.16.10.1.
Switch>enable Switch#configure terminal Switch(config)#interface vlan1 Switch(config-if)#ip address 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-if)#exit Switch(config)#ip default-gateway 172.16.10.1
Switches have several interfaces. Adding description to interface is a good habit. It may help you in finding correct interface. To add description use following commands. In following example we would add description Development VLAN to interface FastEthernet 0/1.
Switch(config)#interface fastethernet 0/1 Switch(config-if)#description Development VLAN
Switch stores MAC addresses in MAC address table. Gradually it could be full. Once it full, switch automatically starts removing old entries. You can also clear these tables manually from privileged exec mode. To delete all entries use following command
switch#clear mac address-table
To delete only dynamic entries use
switch#clear mac address-table dynamic
For security purpose sometime we have to add mac address in CAM table manually. To add static MAC address in CAM table use following command
Switch(config)#mac address-table static aaaa.aaaa.aaaa vlan 1 interface fastethernet 0/1
In above command we entered an entry for static MAC address aaaa.aaaa.aaaa assigned to FastEnternet 0/1 with default VLAN1.
Switch keeps all running configuration in RAM. All data from RAM is erased when we turned off the device. To save running configuration use following command
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
Switch automatically adjust duplex mode depending upon remote device. We could change this mode with any of other supported mode. For example to force switch to use full duplex mode use
Switch(config)# #interface fastethernet 0/1 Switch(config-if)#duplex full
Switch(config)# #interface fastethernet 0/1 Switch(config-if)#duplex half
show version command provides general information about device including its model number, type of interfaces, its software version, configuration settings, location of IOS and configuration files, and available memories.
Switch stores MAC address of devices those are attached with its interfaces in CAM table. We can use show mac-address-table command to list all learned devices. Switch uses this table to make forward decision. See our previous article to learn more about switch functions.
Switch stores IOS image file in flash memory. show flash command will list the content of flash memory. This command is useful to get information about IOS file and available memory space in flash.
Configuration parameter values are created, stored, updated and deleted from running configuration. Running configuration is stored in RAM. We can use show running-config command to view the running configuration.
Any configuration stored in RAM is erased when devices is turned off. We can save running configuration in NVRAM. If we have saved running configuration in NVRAM, it would be automatically loaded back in RAM from NVRAM during the next boot. As switch load this configuration back in RAM in startup of device, at NVRAM it is known as startup-config.
show vlan command will display the VLANs. For administrative purpose, switch automatically create VLAN 1 and assign all its interfaces to it. You can create custom VLANs from global configuration mode and then assign them to interfaces.
show interface command displays information about interfaces. Without argument it would list all interfaces. To get information about specific interface we need to pass its interface number as an argument. For example to view details about FastEthernet 0/1, use show interface fastethernet 0/1.
First line from output provides information about the status of interface.
FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up ( connected)
The first up indicates the status of the physical layer, and the second up indicates to the status of the data link layer.
Possible interface status
Possible values for physical layer status
Possible values for data link layer status
show ip interface brief
show ip interface brief is a extremely useful command to get quick overview of all interfaces on switch. It lists their status including IP address and protocol.

I bought my first name book when I was ten. When I was a kid I would spend hours drawing families so that I could name them. I continually updated the names of my future children for years (Elspeth, Alexandra, Conrad...). Then I got married, and though my husband professed not to care about names, he also made it known that he expected to have veto power, so that our children wouldn't end up with names that he didn't like. He vetoed everything on my preexisting lists, but during my first pregnancy we agreed on a compromise boy name pretty easily. I just gave up on finding a girl name. Since we seemed to both like old fashioned names, I was rattling off the names of all my great aunts one evening, and he declared that he liked Irene. Weeks later when I tried to talk names he had no interest "We have a girl name, Irene." So that was that. I gave up and hoped our surprise baby would be a boy, I was just too tired to keep looking for a girl name. Irene was born in 2004. Next time around we knew we were having a boy, and my husband pretty much refused to discuss any name except the one we'd agreed on 3 years earlier. Lawrence was born in 2007. Now I'm pregnant again, but we haven't talked names yet. I have lists and I hope that my husband will agree to a name on my lists. But I find that I really don't care so much. His taste isn't terrible. My next child will have a perfectly acceptable name. I could say the problem is that my husband is stubborn, but I can be just as stubborn on some things. This is one issue on which I never would have believed that I'd be a pushover. I've always thought I cared very much, but the evidence says otherwise.
Puzzled, Gillian

Dear Colleague,
Never has so much data been available about so many people from a growing array of sources. Yet the financial services industry still has much to learn about turning all that data about individuals, behaviors, preferences, businesses, transactions and trends into better decisions and added value to customer interactions.
How can sense be made of data gathered from existing and emerging channels?
How can data be applied to create a personalized, efficient, relevant and helpful banking experience for customers?
What's the best way to use new data streams coming from mobile payment apps?
What are the right uses of data from the Internet of Things?
What are the appropriate uses of geolocation data?
How can decisions about products, pricing, underwriting, budgets, fraud, security, risk, compliance and hiring be improved with analytics? How can consumers' rights to privacy, security and fairness be preserved through all of this?
These are some of the questions we'll be exploring at the Banking Analytics Symposium in Boston in October. We look forward to seeing you there!

Winter school day. by PascalCampionWatch
©2013-2016 PascalCampion
Winter school day.
I love the atmosphere of this pic wow*_*
This is entirely stunning. I fell in love with this one
may i ask what you use to draw?
A lot of people think of Winter as a cold time. Which of course it is. But also full of warm memories. Great stuff!
Really nice. I remember those days. back then...
I never get tired to these!
You captured a winter morning perfectly. I love the barely-there purple tinge to everything, and you can practically feel the cold.
Reminds me of "From the Ground Up" by Sleeping at Last: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq4Ayl…
Sigh. So many memories...
I feel so connected to this piece. It takes me back somehow. lovely
very cool
Круто!!! И не скажещь, что все компьютерное.
You captured a very specific feeling from my wintry childhood. Thank you.
Background almost looks real. So cool! ^___^
Beautiful. I love how the colors reinforce the feeling of "cold" and "winter".
Funny.. so many people say that.. but for me, it was this morning.
Lovely. From far away I thought this was a photo, very nice colours. And very moody as always, when I look at it it immediately brings me back to my childhood. Thanks for you art, I really love it, keep going on, it's unique and really powerful to me
I love your ability to draw a feeling... This piece describes a winter twilight(or dawn?) so good!
Thank you( It's dawn.. but in winter, twilight and dawn tend to look very alike.. the main difference is the time it takes for the sun to fall or come up, so you perceive the light a little differently. Also.. at dawn, it's the end of the night, so it's chillier and I would want to show this.. in the evening, the day is usually a little warmer and I'd want to show that in the light going down... but, yes.. similar lights to a degree)
Very accurate. This actually really depicts how it was walking to school in my elementary days. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice

I never posted in this thread which I'm shocked.
I like both shows equally and I have my reasons for it. I like Digimon for the story plot and how each Digimon have multiple personalties even when they evolve. In each season, there is a new main character and new companions as well as a new story plot going into them. Most seasons seem to have a small connection to the older series of the Digimon. I also enjoy the video games of the show as well since they seem to change up each story in it.
I love Pokemon because it's Pokemon. The series of Pokemon has mainly one main character which is just Ash. As much as I love Pokemon, it would be great for them to switch it up. As much as I love the Digimon opening songs, I love how Pokemon seems to switch up their songs for each generation. They travel more then how Digimon travel but there was one thing that I liked more about Digimon then Pokemon, I liked how the Digimon can talk and not just keep repeating their names like in Pokemon. The Tamer can understand their Digimon more then how Trainers do.
Another reason why I love both Pokemon and Digimon is because I grew up with both of these shows. I love them to death and I still do.

'True Detective' Finale Failed to Live Up to Show's Dark Existential Standard
'True Detective' finale failed to live up to the show's dark existential standard
Now we know.
The finale of "Breaking Bad" remains utterly unchallenged as the perfect finale for one of the great series in what is now routinely agreed to be a new 21st century "Golden Age" in television history.
Sunday's HBO finale of "True Detective" didn't even come close. It was certainly suspenseful and creepy enough as detectives Rust Cohle and Marty Hart traced serial killer Errol Childress through his overgrown (and underexplained) rural temple of slaughter "Carcosa." And Matthew McConaughey had a final breakdown scene worthy of an Oscar winner as he told his partner, played by Woody Harrelson, about seeing his dead daughter on "the other side."
But by the standards of the previous seven episodes, the finale of "True Detective" was nothing but a workmanlike wrap-up - just a few important steps up from hackwork.
However bizarre was the sudden adoption of a British accent by the actor who played the killer (Glenn Fleshler), he was nothing more than a standard slasher movie boogie man at the end - Michael Myers in a "Halloween" movie or Jason in a "Friday the 13th" movie, able to lift victims off the ground with one hand. Completely unexplored at the end was the cult of voodoo child murderers often referred to but, at the crucial moment, pitched into the wastebasket as being of no special plot interest.
Sorry, but to me, that's a grotesque dereliction of moral duty. If a TV show is going to sacrifice children as a plot point, it owes its audience some elucidation of such evil. You don't just fling it into the mix on the fly and get back to the business of creeping people out with a skulking chase through a vine-strewn rural labyrinth.
Predictably, of course, some disagreed, if you scoured the Web the first thing Monday morning. Andrew Romano in the Daily Beast called the finale "the perfect conclusion to a series that has come as close to perfect over the course of its eight all-too-brief episodes as any I can remember. ... To tie things up in any other way would have betrayed what the first season was all about."
I beg to differ. And I'm far from alone. New Yorker TV critic Emily Nussbaum tweeted that it was disappointing. Killer Errol Childress, said Kevin P. Sullivan on the MTV website, was "nothing more than a lunatic capable of unspeakable evils" but maintained that he "never had to be more than that." On any other show than "True Detective" I might have agreed.
It would, to be sure, be true in a slasher movie, but in a television show of such dark existential eloquence, it's almost offensive.
I agree with all those who say that "True Detective" wasn't really about a serial killer at all but about the relationship of two Louisiana state cops whose polarized selves manage to come together as a pair of men mutually haunted by ineradicable evil.
In the end, it wasn't Cohle, that great poet of nocturnal triumph, who looked up into the night sky and said there's a lot more blackness up there than light, it was Marty, the hypocritical family man. The show's last line was Cohle saying in response that while once there was only dark, "you ask me, light's winning."
Which, frankly, I find a vastly less eloquent - and poetic - variation on a bit of throwaway metaphysics once offered to an interviewer by Thelonious Monk: "it's always dark; otherwise, we wouldn't need the sun."
In the post-finale discussion of the show on the Atlantic Monthly website, writer Amy Sullivan admitted she couldn't even understand Cohle's last line at first hearing.
I couldn't either. I needed help from other ears.
In that same discussion, Christopher Orr confided an unfulfilled prefinale predication that I was making, too - that one of the two men, most likely Cohle, would die before the end.
That, it seems to me, was the perfectly logical ending to a cable TV show able to immerse its viewers in a singular darkness. …

Clinton Sees Clergy Role in Helping Immigrants
Witham, Larry, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
President Clinton yesterday urged the nation's clergy to take the lead in forming the character of an American citizenry now faced with increased racial and ethnic diversity.
"We know what we're going to look like - the demographers can tell us that," Mr. Clinton said in breakfast remarks at the White House to 130 clergy of several faiths. "But they can't tell us what we're going to be like."
He said the nation will be better if that decision "is informed by, driven by, embraced by and advanced by people of faith in our country."
Mr. Clinton, who has gathered clergy at the White House once or twice a year since his 1992 election, urged them to support his racial reconciliation efforts begun this year. He also touted the administration's accomplishments in the area of religious liberty.
These included passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which the Supreme Court overturned this year, guidelines for student and teacher religious expression in public schools, and allowance for federal employees to retain their religious convictions in the workplace.
"I'd also like to thank so many of you for the work you've done with us on public issues," Mr. Clinton said.
Going into the private meeting, some church leaders said they would express concern to Mr. Clinton that the United States not take action against Iraq, even in the form of an embargo that might hurt its innocent citizens. …

They have the Duck Store here!
Incredibly nice arena!!
Prepare your eyes, you've never seen a court painted quite like Oregon's before.

- Beer has been brewed at Wellpark for over 400 years, since 1556.
- The Tennent's business has been brewing since 1740 at the historic Wellpark Brewery in the east end of Glasgow - built by H&R Tennent and today the oldest running commercial concern in Glasgow
- Founded in 1885, Tennent's Lager is known as an industry pioneer, recognised as being the first commercial lager to be produced to scale in Scotland (and one of the first in the UK) and at the forefront of introducing canned and draught lager to the UK
- The brand is renowned for its iconic 'Red T' logo and for its innovative marketing campaigns, including some of Scotland's most memorable and entertaining advertising
- In November 2010 the business opened its Tennent's Training Academy on-site at Wellpark. This state-of-the-art facility provides high quality industry training that is accessible for the entire industry - not just for Tennent's customers
- Since 2010, as part of an ongoing programme to help build a robust Scottish on trade, Tennent Caledonian has been offering investment finance to its free on trade partners to support cash flow, re-financing and growth plans
- In October 2011, Tennent Caledonian launched a major beer brand for Scotland - Caledonia Best - made with 100 per cent Scottish barley

- In November 2012, the business raised £16,000 for Capability Scotland following its pledge to donate 5p of every pint sold on the day of Glasgow's Olympic homecoming parade
Tennent Caledonian Boosts Support For Scottish On-Trade With Price Freeze
GLASGOW, Scotland, February 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tennent Caledonian has announced today (8 th February) that it will not increase the wholesale selling price of its leading brands - Tennent's Lager, Caledonia Best and Magners Golden Draught - for Scotland's free on-trade in 2013.(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130208/594332 ) This announcement makes Tennent Caledonian the only major brewer to implement a price freeze whilst its competitors push prices up. The bold move acknowledges that the Scottish on-trade continues to face significant challenges from declining drinker visits and increasing costs. This decision will provide a welcome financial boost for free on-trade outlets and is another strong signal of the brewer's understanding and continued support for Scotland's pubs, clubs and hotels. This 2013 price freeze follows a five year period which has seen Tennent Caledonian consistently implement the lowest price increases in the Scottish free on-trade amongst major brewers. Paul Waterson, Chief Executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, commented: "Once again, Tennent's has shown its support and commitment to Scotland's pubs, clubs and nightclubs. The announcement that the business will be applying a price freeze on all of its major brands is welcome news at a very difficult time for the on-trade in Scotland . This price freeze will certainly help our members to control their costs and drive footfall to their premises, which is much needed." Tennent Caledonian customer Mark Horner, the owner of Legends in East Kilbride, also welcomed the announcement. He commented: "This price freeze is welcome news for publicans across Scotland . We are all working hard in a very difficult climate as money is obviously tight for a lot of our customers up and down the country. A move like this one from Tennent ' s is rare in our business and, as our costs increase, it is further evidence of their great support and commitment to the trade." The announcement of a price freeze demonstrates Tennent Caledonian's long term commitment to supporting a successful Scottish free on-trade, with a package that includes its leading portfolio of brands, excellent customer service, world class training via the Tennent's Training Academy and a growing programme of lending and partnership funding for Scotland's pubs, clubs and hotels. Over the last two years, Tennent Caledonian has provided valuable funding of more than £11 million to support on-trade businesses looking to expand or improve their offering. John Gilligan, Managing Director of Tennent Caledonian, commented: "We believe that Scotland's pubs, clubs and hotels are at the heart of their communities up and down the country and it's crucial that they continue to thrive. We recognise that these are tough times for Scotland's free on-trade and we will continue to support and invest where we can, helping operators control their costs, develop their businesses and build a responsible drinking environment for their customers. Today's announcement is further evidence of this commitment and will make a real difference to the Scottish free on-trade in the year ahead." http://www.tennentcaledonian.com Notes to editors: Tennent Caledonian

Stylish and functional design ideas to make working in the laundry room less of a chore. Plus, money and timesaving tips.
Laundry rooms tend to be dirty little secrets — raw spaces where clothes pile on the floor and washers and dryers stand alone. The irony wasn't lost on Helen Norman, who had cobbled together a bare-bones laundry area in her 1850s Maryland home. Tired of the inefficiency, she and her friend, designer Janna Lufkin, redesigned the space with loads of function.
Lufkin designated areas for laundering, folding, ironing, air-drying and storage.
"Everything seemed chaotic before," Helen says. "Now, it's a space I want to come into and treat with respect."
"When your home is organized you feel more energized," she says.

- How the Seahawks got two first-round picks in the NFL draft
- Here are Seattle-area companies employees enjoy working at most
- Mayor, Chris Hansen denounce misogynistic comments over council arena vote
- Slain Burien teen was 'all about her education,' aunt says

With these tips that put everything in its place, laundry is a chore no more.
Norman had a cabinet built to house her front-loading washer and dryer. The top is made of linoleum flooring to provide a durable work surface. (Marmorette flooring, $23/square foot; armstrong.com)
"A fresh coat of paint works wonders," says Lufkin, who brightened the room with white beaded board that covers uneven walls.
An antique quilt rack augments wall-mounted drying racks. Norman air dries a lot of clothes and doesn't iron much; space for those tasks was assigned accordingly.
A shelf provides storage in the space above the washer and dryer. Detergents stored in clear, labeled jars allow Norman to gauge levels and prevent shelves from becoming a riot of packaging. (Duet steam washer and dryer; $1,599 and $1,499; whirlpool.com)
Store stain removers on a Lazy Susan to keep them in reach and catch drips.
A free-standing table offers storage. Norman's two boys can grab clothes stacked on the top. The iron rests on a heat-resistant old enamel tray. (Varde base cabinet, $349; ikea.com)
Drawers conceal mending supplies, extra dryer sheets, stain removers and the inevitable pile of unmatched socks.
Baskets are used to tote clean rags and towels to their proper rooms. Closed boxes store seldom-used table linens that need ironing before use.
A vintage drying rack has arms that fold in when not in use. If you can't find an antique version, modern ones are available.
Tip-out drying racks are an alternative to a standing drying rack. These are custom, but there are many ready-made options. (Beadboard drying rack similar to the one shown, $89; ballarddesigns.com)

Success is in the details
August 19, 2010
Story Highlights
- no detail is too small
- Details help us to make solid decisions
Commander's Message
Garrison Commander
Fort McPherson and Fort Gillem
Pop quiz: which is more important, the "big picture," or the fine details'
The answer: while it's important to be able to see the big picture, success is most often determined by the fine details.
This applies to a business, project, sport or any other activity.
We often spend a lot of energy on the big picture - going through the motions of holding the meetings, making the phone calls and completing the tasks necessary to ensure an event is completed by its deadline.
Often, however, the sum of the little decisions and the amount of time spent thinking about the minutiae can be just as important as the meetings and phone calls in determining the level of success of a project. In business, no detail is too small.
This is especially true for those of us who are working with limited resources - personnel, time, supplies and money. Using those resources with the utmost efficiency ensures we get the most "bang for the buck."
Details help us to make solid decisions.
They help us to foresee possible problems so that we can address them in advance. They give us the opportunity to better see alternatives.
It's not always easy to be detail oriented. Attention to detail relies on a number of mental processes working together at one time (attention, concentration, verbal and written memory, organizational ability, etc.). How do you become more detail oriented'
Write everything down. Make lists. Revise and rewrite. Examine all options. Ask questions (especially "why'") and weigh the answers. Think about the details, and then think about them some more.
Being detail oriented means not just looking at a request and asking ourselves whether or not we can meet it, but also whether the request has complete information.
Whether it is a legitimate request that includes any documents, historical notes or other information important to verify the purpose of the request.
It's very important, as often as possible, that you let others in on your project or request.
The more "eyes" on a project, the more likely all the necessary angles will be covered. It also means more potential problems will be caught early on and corrected.
You may feel that you're perfectly capable of handling most projects, including the fine details, on your own. Be honest with yourself and admit when you need help.
There's no embarrassment in asking for assistance; however, there could be a great deal of humiliation if a project isn't as successful as it could have been because you kept it to yourself.
Even if you strive to be ultra-precise in all that you do, there are going to be times when you are tired, ill, distracted or otherwise not on top of your game.
Find knowledgeable people to help you and be open to opinions, comments and suggestions.
When you think you're finished, go back and look over what you've done. If you don't review your work, you may not find out until negative consequences fly that you made mistakes.
When thinking of the importance of details, think no further than many of you are already contemplating ... the job rAfAsumAfA.
This is an extremely important document - it represents you to potential employers, thus the quality of the rAfAsumAfA can affect your possible future quality of life. But do you have typos or misspellings in your rAfAsumAfA'
Have you asked others to look at your rAfAsumAfA to see if they find errors' Have you reviewed your rAfAsumAfA to ensure the work history and responsibilities listed are current and complete'
Do you have all the documents - transcripts, performance appraisals and other paperwork - required to substantiate your rAfAsumAfA' It's your awareness of these "little things" that could make the difference in whether or not you are considered for a position.
An important part of maintaining attention to detail is following up. While you may coordinate with others early on, it's important to maintain communication and to maintain awareness of changes or updates to the plan. Those changes and updates may require additional attention, as they can affect resources or affect the overall focus of the project. The more complicated a project or issue is, the more important it is to wrap your arms around the fine points.
While this column has addressed the importance of attention to detail, it's important, that you don't obsess or over-prioritize. The old adage, "You can't see the forest for the trees," has its merits, too.
Only you can determine whether or not you've dedicated an appropriate amount of thought to a project.
My intent isn't for you to laboriously ponder every request you receive, but to take the time with each project or request solely to think.
After all, to quote another adage, "it's the little things that will come back to bite you."

Today, I'm excited to show you a recent sewing project I took on while my Mom was in town. We spent a rainy fall afternoon sewing bedding for both of my daughter's American Girl Doll beds. You can see how I customized these $20 IKEA doll beds here: Polka Dot Bed and Stenciled Bed. We made our own pattern rather than buying a pattern. In this post, I'm going to show you my free American Girl Doll Pattern to make bedding so you can make your own bedding and save money by not buying a pattern.
Since my bed measured 19″x12″x1.25″, I cut my fabric 20″ x 13″. That left me a half inch seam on each side. Once I had the fabric cut, I put the right sides together and sewed them leaving an opening at the top. Easy!
I've got a fantastic American Girl Doll Pinterest board with even more great patterns and ideas. Follow the fun here…

Travel Retail and Duty Free Business Intelligence Sunday 01 May 2016
Published: 04/02/10
Source: ©The Moodie Report
By Mary Jane Pittilla, Brands Editor
FRANCE. LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has reported a "significant" improvement in performance across all business groups in the fourth quarter, including DFS Group.
In the Selective Distribution unit, DFS registered a "solid performance" despite the slowdown in global tourism, LVMH said.
The increasing importance of Asian customers was evident in the excellent momentum at the Macao Gallerias, opened in 2008, and at the recently renovated store in Hong Kong.
New openings, such as Abu Dhabi and Mumbai, represent significant growth opportunities, LVMH added.
Strong group growth in Asia
The French luxury goods group, which recorded revenue of 17.1 billion in 2009 (down -1%), said: "In a difficult economic environment, the group continued its strong growth in Asia and showed good resilience in Europe."
The Louis Vuitton brand recorded double-digit revenue growth for the year.
With a significant improvement in performances across all its activities, the groups organic revenue grew +1% in the fourth quarter. A record level of revenue was achieved in December, the group said.
In Wines & Spirits, the particularly strong level of destocking seen in the first half slowed towards the end of the year, LVMH noted. All other business groups achieved growth in revenue on a comparable structure and at comparable exchange rates during the quarter.
Profit from recurring operations was 3,352 million for the year and resulted in a current operating margin of 20%. Group share of net profit was 1,755 million.
"These results reflect the strong reactivity of LVMHs teams, the cost control measures taken to adapt to the crisis as well as the success of the groups star brands," the company said in a press release.
LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault commented: LVMH demonstrated exceptional resilience in 2009. The quality of the products, the powerful appeal of our brands and the reactivity of our organisation are the major advantages that made the difference and enabled the group to win market share.
"Louis Vuitton in particular delivered another year of growth and has fortified its leading position. Sustained by its sound strategy, LVMH is ideally positioned to benefit from the recovery and to continue in 2010 to strengthen its leadership in the global luxury goods sector.
Highlights of 2009 include:
- Market share gains for star brands in their key markets;
- Continued strong growth in Asia;
-Exceptional momentum at Louis Vuitton with double-digit revenue growth and excellent profitability;
- Good resilience from Parfums Christian Dior and Hennessy, linked notably to the strong performance in growing markets;
- Strong increase in free cash flow due to rigorous inventory management and targeted investments.
