The Dutch labour migration system has undergone substantive changes in recent years. To induce a transition to more high-skilled migration, a programme based on salary thresholds has grown in volume while a programme based on work permits after a labour market test has shrunk. New programmes target international graduates either of Dutch educational institutions or of selected institutions abroad. Changes to immigration procedures have shifted responsibility to migrants' employers and have greatly reduced processing times. This review first examines the composition of labour migration to the Netherlands, in the context of present and expected demand in the Dutch labour market. Following a discussion of various programmes and procedures, the review assesses how labour migration contributes to the strategic development of sectors and to employment in regions. It then explores the determinants for the retention of high-skilled migrants and for the integration of international graduates into the Dutch labour market.
On 1 January 2013, there were 3.54 million residents in the Netherlands with at least one foreign-born parent ("non-native background").

A Microcosm of World War II From the People Who Lived It,
This review is from: Suite Française (Hardcover)
The story behind the publication of Suite Francaise is exceptional. Author Irene Nemirovsky was a Jewish woman living in France at the time of World War II. Already a published author respected for her wonderfully literate style, she had a premonition the end was near. As the Nazis marched into France, and the French rolled over for them, she knew her days were numbered. But still she worked, writing for hours everyday, sometimes cycling for miles to find the perfect isolated spot in which to work on her novel.
As it turned out, she was right to feel paranoid. The knock on her door did come, and she was taken to Auschwitz where she died of disease just a month later.
The manuscript of Suite Francaise wasn't published until 60 years following Nemirovsky's death. In the possession of one of her daughters, it wasn't delivered to publishers until the woman became an editor at a publishing house.
Even without the backstory, the book itself is beautiful. It captures the time of World War II in France in such vivid detail it's like a film rather than a novel. Everything from fear to greed to patriotism is represented, from the time the war begins to its end. Bombs drop on railroad depots, people are killed and mangled, and mothers desperately run with their children in an attempt to get away from the carnage to find safety. Food becomes so scarce people do violence to each other in order to get what scraps they can. Perhaps most disturbingly of all, a group of orphans loses all grip on humanity, murdering and stealing with what can only be described as a manic glee. Suite Francaise is a microcosm of the war from the perspective of those who lived it.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In a typical lab experiment.. (such as San Antonio, Texas my home town which was where his pilot program was started) one would match the rats together, put them in the same cage, let them mate... sniff each other and then monitor their lives for say maybe five years. But oh wait!!! These are people!!! (If I sound like a guinea pig it's because I feel like one!!!) Then if they don't get along you pull them from the cages and separate them. Oh, That is divorce!!! Computers can NEVER, EVER put the human touch to the processing. They cannot process history, experiences, & etc. etc. etc. Simply meeting someone and sharing your stories will do much better than eharmony ever can!!
Meeting and marrying thru eharmony has a double whammy to it.. your expectations are higher than if you'd met in person by yourself!! Because NOW YOU REALLY ARE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE YOU ARE COMPATIBLE PER AN EXPERT!!!! OR SO THE WEBSITE INDICATES. There is no species more complex than the humanoid!!! An EXPERT is nothing more than a dabbler!!! What I really believe in my heart is that this eharmony episode is an experience gone wrong on the scale of which cannot be described in any other way than to title it: Frankenstein's Wife!!!!!!!! Now I coined that this phrase and could write the script for the movie because I'm living the material!!!
So I hereby announce that this is copywrighted by me this day July 11, 2004. If there are any producers out there, I'm the material and it is bad, very bad!! Could make you a lot of money, too. I'm not kidding!! It leaves me gasping for the very air of sanity everyday. I'm very worried about the couples that are married and getting so thru eharmony... It is a bad platform and then with these sure and solid expectations that their marriage must work because they are the most compatible that one could humanly be.... it provides fodder for a doubleminded experience in where you keep plowing on even if things are not going right... "oh we don't need counseling because we are specially and specifically matched"!!! My partner just CHANGED that's the problem!!!! He/she is not what I ordered and got to know when we first met!!! Then we grunt, push, shove, argue, etc. etc. to change the person back to normal!!
What's new!!?? People change!!!! Change back to the normal they were before they were pretending and putting on their best face during dating!! Then, and this the triple whammy.. You met the persons best writing and question answering persona.. but are you physically attracted to them?? So you finally get up the gumption to trust one more time... you meet them in person (bass ackwards way of meeting them) and well you are kinda of attracted to them.. yes you think maybe it's something that can grow... hmmm well Dr. Warren says it's not the most important thing, so you go on and oh well it's a human and it is a warm body and you spent a lot of time talking on the phone before you meet them, so that continues.. but of course there is never enough time to really get to know each other on a platonic level if there is even a little attraction there because our emotions take over from there.
So now you end up with the worst of your own selection process because in the real world you wait until you meet a person that really makes your heart pound!!! But the eharmony system gets you to trust before that process happens and believe me and the scientists, the attraction pheromes do not transmit via computer or phone. Nor do they ever show up after several years of "togetherness" or ever. They either are or they are not, period!!! Eharmony's own research and your own proves this, read stories of the most happy couples in the newspaper.. strong attraction when they first met, never could forget about each other and were truly happy.. about 1% percent of population. Why do 99% not meet such a one.. because they are not picky enough, don't really believe it can happen to them or don't believe they deserve it AND they are Americans!! We Americans have no patience!!! This is I believe the number one cause of divorce!! We also listen to "expert" friends who are in mediocre relationships (99% of them) who say, "oh you are too picky, you'll never get the one you imagine" because they didn't and now they are the crab pulling you back down into the bucket!!
Listen to me, the unhappy, unhappyly married and you will get much further on your own than any expert can ever tell you!!!!

#1 Consumer Suggestion
You are the filnal key, not the service
AUTHOR: Jeff - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 12, 2004POSTED: Monday, July 12, 2004
While I am sorry for your experience (been though the bad relationships too) you are an adult. No one put a gun to your head and said get married. No one said run out and don't take the right amount of time you need to get to know this person before you married her. You make those decisions on your own. Yes, eharmony may make you think you don't need premarital counseling, but again, that is for you to decide.
Many people change after the "newness" is gone. You seem to know this and have probably seen it in the past, so why would you drop your guard now? Because a computer said you should? While eharmony states a success rate or what ever, claims to find you the "perfect" person, and says whatever a lonely person or a person wanting companionship wants to hear, YOU are the one who calls, dates, and marries.
eharmony does not take the people part out of the process, you are that part. You are the one that fills in the parts a PC can not do. While eharmony may be in the wrong "I am not exactly sure where" they only provide a some what better service then other dating companies. Again, I am sorry you had to go through what you did, but eharmony is not 100% at fault, you are the one who followed through
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

TOP: Tail Optimization Protocol for Cellular Radio Resource Allocation
In 3G cellular networks, the release of radio resources is controlled by inactivity timers. However, the timeout value itself, also known as the tail time, can last up to 15 seconds due to the necessity of trading off resource utilization efficiency for low management overhead and good stability, thus wasting considerable amount of radio resources and battery energy at user handsets. In this paper, the authors propose Tail Optimization Protocol (TOP), which enables cooperation between the phone and the radio access network to eliminate the tail whenever possible. Intuitively, applications can often accurately predict a long idle time. Therefore, the phone can notify the cellular network on such an imminent tail, allowing the latter to immediately release radio resources.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I submitted very quickly an inventory for liquidation, after verifying through Lasorsa that it was saleable, and at a good profit margin. My potential commission was around the $1,500 mark? Nothing happened, so I dropped all activities, as it was obvious that I could generate a lot of business for them, but no commission for me.
I just received a fax today, November 7, 2002, from Lasorsa stating that he wants to file suit against Zaken, and offers me an opportunity through a Canadian Company to almost double my losses to sign up with them. That company is:
Speedy Liquidators, 626 Massena Ave.
Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada, J4V 1E2. All I have to do is send another $139.00, and contiue to be ripped off.
You talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!! Lasorsa apparently believes that gullibilty never ends. Lasorsa, if I purchased this wonderful opporturnity in June, 2002, why didn't you tell me about the problems you supposedly were already having with Zaken. Do you really believe that anyone (and you and I know they will) will continue to buy into the same scam? I have no way of knowing for sure, but I'm not going to be to far off base when I deem that Speedy Liquidators, Zaken, and Lasorsa are one and the same.
I do, however, appreciate your advising me of this forum, and hey keep on scamming. You would have made even more money had you and your partners been honest. You never know though.

Is this the original business of Zaken?
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 13, 2003POSTED: Tuesday, May 13, 2003
I have never heard of Zaken until I found ripoffreport.com , but it is very interesting to see so many people getting scammed by this. This guy is obviously changing his name and address like his underwear. Has anyone ever met with this guy in person? Has anyone ever made a legit deal and made any money from this company or any company associated with the scam?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I'm so glad you shared your report with all of us. I for one know I will not let Nick or anyone convince me to put out another penny, let alone 139.00 to try this thing all over again!
It is so extremely insulting and scary to think he and/or Zaken Co. could get others who are so desperately searching to be self sufficient / independant business owners; still in denial that they have truely been scammed; looking for a glimmer of hope to keep that dream/their investment alive - would actaully consider taking him up on his offer to try again and put their "trust in him".
I truly thank you for sharing his offer (latest intentions) and your intelligence to "not be fooled again" -
This is not a dead end; I have been successful finding buyers and so can all of you; don't trust the hand that bit you!
I only hope everyone else get's the message too!

|Harry Manx
Bluesfest 2008
|Background information
Isle of Man
folk music
Hindustani classical music
|Guitar, harmonica, six-string banjo, Mohan veena
|Dog My Cat Records
|Associated acts
|Michael Kaeshammer, Kevin Breit
Harry Manx is a musician who blends blues, folk music, and Hindustani classical music. His official website describes his music: "blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour."[1] Manx plays the slide guitar, harmonica, six-string banjo, mohan veena and Ellis stomp box. He studied for five years in India with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Harry's signature instrument[2] He has released twelve albums in twelve years, and has his own record label "Dog My Cats Records".[2] He has received much recognition and many awards, including: seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Music Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist, and CBC Radio's "Great Canadian Blues Award" in 2007.[2]
Manx was a nominee in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for his cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".
Early years: Canada and Europe[edit]
Manx was born in 1955 in Douglas on the Isle of Man, and moved with his family to Ontario, Canada when he was six years old.[2][3][4] He started working with bands as a 'roadie' at age 15 and gradually worked his way up to becoming the regular sound man at the well-known El Mocambo (blues) club in Toronto.[2] He left Toronto when he was 20 to return to Europe and started making money as a busker.[2] It was the late 1970s by then, and he found work at festivals as a blues lapslide guitarist and songwriter. He then moved to Japan where he lived and performed for 10 years.[5]
Japan and India[edit]
In 1990, while Manx was in Japan, he heard a recording of the Indian slide guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.[2] When Manx met Bhatt for the first time in Rajasthan, he had been living in another part of India for years.[2] He became a student of Bhatt's and remained with him for five years. They travelled together in India and performed for large audiences.[5]
In 2000, Manx moved back to Canada and set up residence in Saltspring Island, British Columbia and recorded his first Canadian album at the Barn Studios. This debut recording features 14 tracks of his one-man-band sound on the lap slide guitar, the Mohan Veena, the harmonica and vocals.[5]
Manx has a wife, Najma Manx, and together they have one son, Hector Oswald Manx. In a 2002 interview, in their house on Saltspring Island, Manx talked about the stresses of leaving his wife and son when on touring. "This guy here, he doesn't care who I'm opening for," Harry said. "He just wants me home once in a while. It gets tough sometimes. We need to keep that connection all the time. We talk on the phone every day. You should see our phone bill."[6]
Manx's musical style has been called an "essential musical link" between the East and the West. His songs are "short stories that use the essence of the blues and the depth of Indian ragas to draw you in".[5]

Off-Campus Dining:
It all depends if you have a car. If you don't, you can only go into the village to dine off campus, and eventually it gets repetitive because there isn't THAT much.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are plenty of great restaurants in the village that are perfect for a night out or for when parents are visiting. They are all within walking distance and prices vary from affordable to high-end. They vary from burger joints to thai food to sushi. No fast-food places are within walking distance, but McDonald's and In-N-Out are a 5 minute drive at most. Best place to check out is definitely Eureka Burger and Bardot.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's a quaint little town but they have a bomb Thai restaurant.
Off-Campus Dining:
Solid options, but people don't tend to go off campus that often. Maybe once or twice a month if you have birthday dinners or something. Town is walking discount which is great and Eureka Burger and 21 choices are musts.
Off-Campus Dining:
Not many places to go if you don't have a car
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
When students are ready to go off campus to eat, most head down to the Village. The Village offers some great food, but not a great variety. The Village is the only off-campus food that is a walkable distance away. There is a fair amount of variety a short drive away, but except for the occasional In-N-Out run, students either eat on campus or in the Village.
The Village is not exactly budget-friendly, with several upscale restaurants. Viva Madrid, Tutti Mangia, and the Harvard Square Café are all amazing, pricey restaurants that are best visited on special occasions/when relatives visit. For those on a budget, there are a few options, but not many. Heroes (a local bar/grill), the Mixing Bowl (Thai food), and Round Table (Pizza) are all wallet-friendly restaurants. Most students eat in dining halls and go out for dessert/coffee/smoothies.
There are several coffee shops in the Village (both chain and mom-and-pop shops) which are frequented by students. Jamba Juice and the Claremont Juice Company both have delicious smoothies/fruit drinks. The most popular way to spend cash in Claremont is easily frozen yogurt. There are three fro-yo places within walking distance of campus—21 Choices, Yogurtland, and Razzle Dazzle. Everybody has a favorite (mine's 21 choices) and any day at any time, they are sure to be crowded with students.

They come out and say they are lowering expectations and growth is expected to slow. They come out and say they are going to do a secondary offering and that will dilute the stock value. Apple comes on line STRONG with iTunes and signs up 11.7 million in the first week. Etc, etc, etc..
By all counts Pandora does not have a chance of surviving, much less being the streaming leader and the STOCK ... IT JUST GOES UP AND STAYS UP!!! Mind Boggling.
What am I missing!?!?!
You need to look a little deeper. The biggest hurdle for Pandora is not apple or slowing US growth. Their biggest hurdle is the royalty rate they pay for each song. And this rate is about to change. This stock is moving up because the market believes the rate will change favorably for Pandora.
Even if the rate does not change, Pandora could add to their revenue by say, selling mp3s from their app. They currently pay about 60% of revenue to royalties, but if they supplemented their revenue with say mp3s, their rate could fall as low as 25% of revenue. This is even if the rates do not change.
Most of the shorts do not want to talk about this because they are primarily interested in quick gains. If they are smart, they plan on being out before the court rules on the rate change.
Well no surprise... none of the shorts will address the issues I bring up. I would love to have a good discussion about the risks of Pandora but I guess I won't find that here. Good luck and have a good weekend.
Apple does not need any revenue from iradio, they earn in 9 days what siri and pandora combined make in a year.
my advise day trade the morning gap, that's it, stock does nothing during the day
"cult stock" a la TSLA; still relatively low float; Wall Street finessed the secondary at $25 so it has to hold that level until the shares are delivered and a bit beyond...or until some public event suggests APPL ITunes has created a definate ceiling on P ability to grow its top line....just keep in mind: P makes no money and is valued @ $5 billion.. A "random walk" down Wall Street will teach you that it is infinately corrupt and rarely "efficient"
Right now it is probably due to legal manipulation, i.e. green shoeing. Aside from that, there is a social networking bubble being inflated right now. Similar to 1999 internet bubble and 2007 clean energy bubble.
Impossible to know when the music is going to stop so just make sure you're near a chair when it does stop.
General bubble will pop, but not before Twitter IPO, meantime, timing has to be perfect on these or you have to send more$ to cover the calls in the meantime, will collapse by 50% from here all social media bs stocks. play is safe to buy the gap downs, no negative news brings it down much, you have to play and get these freebe from MM"s, no way if you get holding this overniggt and APPL releases news on Iradio switched users from P
it's called the market that is playing with your mind, not fundumentals, because free money comes from everywhee and the FED is printing drugy

So i told them i was canceling my debit card and not paying them one more cent as i had not authorized any charges to come out of my account. they then began calling nonstop three or four times a day at all hours, usually starting at 8 am. then they sent our names to a credit bureau(supposedly) and they call nonstop now. well, tonight i found their website and i looked up their terms and conditions and it states clearly that you can cancel, they are just a bunch of liars who will stoop to any level to keep getting your money. i spoke to several people through them and they told me repeatedly that there was no way they could cancel my account. they told me also that they had a recorded conversation on file and it was legally binding, however, how can you have a legally binding contract without ever signing anything. where i am from verbal statements don't mean anything and won't stand up in court. and also whenever they called there would be loud music playing in the background. they are nothing but a scam!

What's Different about Managing SaaS Products?
By Felicia Anderson
SaaS provides a treasure trove of new user insights.
As customers adopt Software as a Service (SaaS) in record numbers, those software providers that effectively leverage SaaS' unique advantages will move into industry-leading positions. Companies that fail to do so will lose competitive ground.
Here are 3 areas that every SaaS product team should consider to make the most of the SaaS opportunity.
Instrument your products to observe true user behavior
SaaS providers have unprecedented visibility into users' activities. Product teams should add capabilities to track user behavior quantitatively and use that information to improve the product. This approach typically yields much better results than activities such as focus groups because it shows what users actually do, not what they say (which is often notably different than what they do).
Intuit, a company renowned for its practice of following customers home to monitor user behavior in a natural environment, got dramatically different results when talking with users about a solution versus silently observing their behavior from within the product. In one case, they were considering how to improve the onboarding process for new payroll customers.
Initially, they mocked up screens to show the option of running the first payroll prior to completing the full configuration. With screenshots in hand, they met with 20 prospects and asked if they would choose the option of running the first round of checks before completing the set up. Not a single prospect expressed interest in this option.
Then they changed the screen on the actual site to show this as an option. They didn't have the backend functionality yet but wanted to test user behavior. Intuit founder, Scott Clark, recounts that "when they actually didn't ask an opinion and just watched behavior, 58% clicked, "I want to cut the checks first." 58%."[1]
That's an eye-popping difference: zero percent interest when talking with the prospects versus 58% interest when presented with the option in the product. The product team proceeded to add the capability, which resulted in the fastest customer growth for that product in ten years.
Use SaaS' superior customer feedback options
Great SaaS products enable users to provide feedback within the context of the user experience itself. With an easy-to-find, simple, in-application feedback capability, users will typically provide more accurate and more useful feedback. Well-designed in-app feedback can reduce customer service cost, increase issue resolution speed, and result in more actionable enhancement suggestions.
Tweet this: Great SaaS products enable users to provide feedback within the context of the user experience itself
EdX, the nonprofit that provides free online courses from MIT, Harvard and other leading colleges and universities, provides a great example of in-application feedback. The user goes to the same place for all types of feedback, and the form is very simple and short (just 2 questions, see below). But possibly the most important feature is that access to the help tab moves with the user so that it is always visible, even when the user scrolls down. When users have a suggestion or concern, they do not have to scramble to figure out where to go to share their feedback.
EdX Feedback Form: Simple, Short, and Easy to Find
Minimize churn
SaaS industry leaders understand this simple truth:
"the single biggest driver of long term profitability for your cloud business…is the renewal rate of your customers."[2]
To minimize churn, mine the data from your SaaS user base to identify leading indicators of attrition. One useful practice is to monitor usage by account to identify accounts that have recently reduced either their log-in frequency or their transaction volume. These accounts are frequently at risk of churning, so coordinate with sales, professional services, or customer support to intervene prior to losing the customer.
Tweet this: To minimize churn, mine the data from your SaaS user base to identify leading indicators of attrition
SaaS provides exciting, new ways understand and stay close to customers. With on premise products, product managers could only speak with and get feedback from a limited number of customers each year.
With SaaS products, on the other hand, it's possible to glean insights from the entire user base, whether that's 100, 1,000 or 100,000 users. Armed with superior information across a broader set of users, product managers of SaaS products can deliver solutions with even greater customer value.

5 Reasons why you should regularly attend your product's training classes
by Saeed Khan
If you work on a product that requires a training class, your product is way too complex!!!
OK, just kidding. 🙂
If you work in the B2B space, it's almost guaranteed that there is a training requirement for your product. The training may be delivered face-to-face in a classroom setting, or over the web with a live instructor, or even possibly as a self-paced recorded course.
Regardless of the type of class, odds are you (PM, PMM, UX Lead etc.) didn't create that class and almost certainly you don't deliver that class to customers.
You may have attended the class (once) when you were hired or started working on the product — assuming the product already existed — or maybe never at all if you started early enough and learned it on your own.
Regardless of which situation you are in, you should make it a practice to REGULARLY sit in on your product's training class.
What do I mean by 'REGULARLY'? Well, it depends on a number of factors, but at least once per year, if not 2 or 3 times per year if possible.
If the class is a long class (say 2 or 3 or more days), and it's difficult to commit those days completely (we're always pulled into meetings etc) then at least sit in on the FIRST day of the class a couple of times a year. Try to pick classes where there are a good number of students attending.
But WHY? We'll I'll tell you.
1. It's an easy way to meet customers face-to-face
OK, this assumes you have a classroom style training course. And if you do, that great!!! Take advantage of it. Meeting these users face-to-face is a great way to start building a relationship with them. Most classes I've seen start with some kind of self-introduction by the students. It's a good way to learn about who is (will be) using your product and also to introduce yourself to them.
You don't have to become their friend during the class, but when you introduce yourself as the PM for the product they are learning about, trust me, they'll remember you. And later, if you reach out to them, they know who you are.
Even if the course is NOT a face-to-face classroom setting — i.e. it's taught by a live instructor to the students over the internet — you can still introduce yourself and make the students aware of you. Better than nothing I say.

How much does self-interest play in your decision making process?
By Saeed Khan
Back in 2008, I wrote a post entitled "Self interest always wins out…".
I was reminded of it again recently during a conversation with a PM friend of mine. Believe it or not, we were talking about how releases were planned at our companies. She said that she keeps a spreadsheet with each planned feature that also has several columns with weighted values for categories such as Strategic Fit, Customer Satisfaction, Competitive etc.
i.e. this gives a semblance of an analytic approach to her decision making and she can always open the spreadsheet in a meeting if anyone wants to debate prioritizing one thing over another.
I've seen this kind of spreadsheet many times in my years, but what reminded me of my old post was that she said she always wanted to add a hidden column in the spreadsheet that factored in a "pain in my butt" value for a given feature.
e.g. how much personal pain she had to endure with customers, salespeople etc. because of he missing capability.
I'm sure we can all empathize with her. I thought I'd written a post on the topic years ago, but had to search to find it. So here is an updated version of that article for your reading pleasure.
But don't just read the article, please comment on whether self-interest (at any level) plays a role in the product decisions you've been involved in. Be honest. 🙂
Deep down, every single one of us is driven by self-interest. From acquiring the most basic necessities of life, to how we deal with others, to the multitude of decisions we make each and everyday, self-interest plays a strong role. Self-interest is not a bad thing and I'm not demonizing it at all. I'm simply stating an obvious fact. We do what will help us achieve OUR personal goals first and foremost.
And as much as we would like to think that's not true; that we can look beyond ourselves and do what is in the common good, the fact is, more times than not, we will do what will benefit ourselves. Or at minimum, leverage the decisions we make to benefit our self interest.
When deciding what should and shouldn't go into a product release, we try to look at the market needs, at the competition, at the strategic direction of the company etc. etc. But when push comes to shove, and we have to make a hard call on including something or not, our subconscious will have a significant impact.
In a conversation about prioritizing some requirements, I had to make a choice between two important items of roughly equal effort. When another PM asked me why I chose one instead of the other, I said that if we implemented the one I selected, it would get a lot of people off my butt. And that I was tired of hearing people complain about the issue. The other one wasn't causing the same stink to be raised, but was clearly needed and valuable.
As I said it, it surprised me somewhat. I told the other PM, "I'm being honest here."
I like to think that I focus on what will help drive revenue, better position us against competitors, help strengthen relationships with key strategic partners and all that good stuff. But seriously, when a hard decision needed to be made, my reasons were none of those.
It's not as if that functionality wasn't needed or that it wasn't something we should add to the product. Don't get me wrong. People were complaining about it because it was a gap in the product and customers needed it. But, the primary reason for my choice was driven by immediate self-interest.
So let me ask you a question. Have you ever been in that situation and made a decision for similar reasons? In retrospect, any thoughts on whether that was the right decision?

Chapter 37
"—an' then a giant erupting volcano emerged in the middle of the ocean!" Lais exclaimed, extending her wings wide apart, but suddenly yelped and flapped them again to stay airborne.
Lais carried two stacks of papers on both her claws, or talons. Hm... I don't remember much about my animal science subject during grade school. Were bird's feet called claws, or talons? Or were they simply called feet? Blah...
"Wwwooowww...!" Fay wow'ed in amazement, who was walking beside the hovering Murkrow, and I could actually see small sparkling stars sparking from her eyes as I and the rest of us followed the two nutty-heads.
"An' then as soon as it came out, a giant purple cen'ipede came out from the mouth of the volcano an' rushed down towards my trainer an' I!"
I groaned as my headache was getting worse.
"But Bill an' I weren't prepared to face such monstrosity, so he ordered some Saur Magi—"
"Sour," I interrupted with an angry tone.
"—karp Stew... Er, yes, Sour Magikarp Stew when the waiter arrived, and he said that I should use it and splash it on the millipede's eyes!"
I tiredly grit my teeth as I turned to my other friends. Vixie was helplessly smiling in defeat, Saur was faking a calm and reassuring smile, and Shock was gripping both his ears flat down with both hands, and he has a reddened forehead from all the face-palming.
"One loose screw was bearable," Shock hissed through gritted teeth. "Two's insanity...!"
I wanted to chuckle, but I was too annoyed to do so. "M-maybe we should give some distance from insanity?"
The three of them immediately agreed by nodding their heads. We stopped and waited until we could no longer understand a single word the Murkrow was feeding the Rattata.
Anyway, we were already climbing up a hill on an earthy pathway towards Professor Oak's laboratory. There were trees and houses on either side, and there were humans and Pokémon who were either staring at us for no apparent reason, or were simply ignoring us. There were a few kids who wore huge smiles as they stared at us and called us 'Lazy Oak's Pokémon.' I guess it's normal for people here to see Oak's Pokémon walking around...
"Jay," Vixie called.
"Huh?" I actually felt my ears twitched as I turned to her. "Wazzup?"
"Just curious, but how are you going to talk to this Bull guy?"
"Bill," I corrected her. "And to answer your question..." I trailed off as words vanished from my throat and mind. I was hopelessly drawing a blank here... Drawing! That's it! "...I could write my message on paper or on the ground or something..."
Vixie looked as if she didn't understand my answer. Shock as well. Good thing Saur was now giving me a real and calm smile.
"You didn't think this through, did you?" Saur calmly asked.
My eye twitched. And here I was thanking him of his smile. "Screw you, too," I glared at him, and the Bulbasaur just chuckled.
Hm... Yeah, what Saur said was definitely true... I should try and think of a good way to communicate with him.
"—but there were sticky webs everywhere an' I needed to—"
Dangerously close to danger range there... Anyway, how in blazes am I going to talk to him? I can just go with my plan and write it down, but I don't have anything on me for writing, aaannnddd...since I'm considered a 'wild Pokémon', me rummaging around for a pen and paper might give them the wrong signal and try to either capture me or throw me out...or get beaten to a pulp by their Pokémon...
Hm... Well, Lais currently has a few papers I could use. All I need now is a pen...or something for writing...
"We're here!" Lais suddenly shouted, snapping me back to reality.
She and Fay were in front of a tall iron gate. The lab was apparently protected by an iron fence, that was taller than regular houses in the town. And oh, the gate was apparently left wide open for ANYONE to enter. What's the use of the gate then?
"Lais," I called as we approached the duo. "Can I have a piece of paper please?"
She blinked while flapping her wings to stay airborne. "Why?"
"Well, I'm going to—"
She dropped everything on the ground, scattering the papers everywhere AGAIN.
"Okay!" she chirped as I glared at her.
"Lais!" a familiar voice called from ahead of us. The door of the lab, which was meters away from the gate, opened, and out came the person I've been wanting to talk to. "What took you so lo—aiiiyyyeee!" he screamed as I noticed a few papers flying by in front of me, floating with the gentle evening breeze.
Bill started running towards us in panic as Saur, Fay, Vixie and Lais busied themselves by catching the papers. I looked around and noticed a paper that landed on the ground in front of me. Hm...
I poked a nail out from my paw and wrote my message. Bill and the others were busy collecting the papers while Shock was observing what I was doing with an arched eyebrow.
"You weren't kidding with your drawing plan, huh?" the Pikachu commented.
I ignored him as I heard Bill sighed. "Well, hopefully, I didn't lose anything."
I still have a paper pinned down by a paw here. I looked up to him and he noticed me.
"Oh, thanks!" he said as he leaned down to grab it.
Now's my chance, I guess. "Saur," I called, my eyes locked on Bill. "Grab him!"
"Just do it!" ...I miss my shoes...
Saur reluctantly shot two vines up and wrapped the yelping human, restricting his arms and feet from movement.
"He-hey!" Bill stammered. "W-what is this?! What are you doing?!"
"Shock, Vixie," I called. "Light's up!" I gestured on the ground.
The two blinked at each other before Shock began to summon bright sparks from his cheeks on my left and Vixie slowly breathing out fumes of bright fire on my right.
I stared at Bill, and he looked at me with nervous eyes.
"If you guys won't let him go," Lais rubbed her head, "then I'm going to attack you."
I ignored her as I gestured with a paw for Bill to stare on the ground.
He didn't understand at first, so I poked the ground a few times before he looked at it, and he quietly gasped as he read my handwr—paw-writing.
'" he read, his voice converting from nervousness to curiosity, "'
I need your help.
'" He slowly looked back at me with surprised eyes, and then he groaned as he hung his head. "Ugh...not again..."
I...arched an eyebrow... So...am I actually repeating a repeated journey here or something?!
Suddenly, I felt something knocking me down, the air escaping my lungs as my head hit the ground, hard, and the last thing I saw before I lost consciousness was black feathers covering the white full moon....and red glowing eyes.
