Anime and Manga
- Saeki from Strawberry Shake Sweet is very opposed to Julia and Ran's relationship and continuously tries to sabotage it—ostensibly out of fear of a scandal that will end all three of their careers. That she is the Token Straight Girl in a Cast Full of Gay probably has something to do with it, too...
- Sonoko Suzuki from Detective Conan isn't exactly pleased to see Ran pining after the "missing" Shinichi, fearing that she will end up as his Unrequited Tragic Maiden and wondering "What Does She See in Him?". (Though she does loosen up later.) Ran's parents Eri and Kogoro haven't openly objected to their relationship (which is quite a feat in Kogoro's case since he's an Overprotective Dad), but both have told Ran that she shouldn't wait for him.
- Similarly, Satou's admirers were really, really upset when she started getting very close to one of her coworkers, Takagi. The one who led this, Inspector Shiratori, also had very strong feelings for Satou, thus creating a Love Triangle between the three. Which kiiiinda backfires when he does step outta the triangle and it seems that he's falling for another woman, Cool Teacher Kobayashi, since poor Kobayashi overhears how the spurned fanboys wondering if Shiratori is Loving a Shadow in regards to her. (He's not).
- Tamahome's Old Master Tokaki and his wife Subaru are this in Fushigi Yuugi, among the sea of Miaka/Tamahome Shippers on Deck. It turns out they've got very good reasons: they were Byakko Seishi, witnessed how their fellow Seishi Tatara and their Miko Suzuno fell in love... and how it ended up BADLY, so they don't want Miaka and Tamahome to suffer like Suzuno and Tatara did. They give in when Tamahome states that he'll remain in love with Miaka even after finding out about this.
- In Wandering Son Maho was originally a Shipper on Deck for her younger sibling Shuichi and one of her friends. When they actually began dating she turned into this.
- In the Sailor Moon first anime, Usagi was rather crossed when her Muggle Best Friend Naru developed a huge crush on a Princely Young Man named Masato Sanjouin... but she had pretty good reasons, as Sanjoin was actually Nephrite from the Dark Kingdom and put Naru's life at risk more than once. She even told Naru to her face that Sanjoin/Nephrite was a bad guy, and Naru said that she's right but that even then she can't fall out of love. She still was moved to tears when Nephrite, via Love Redeems, died in a Heroic Sacrifice for Naru.
- Usagi also wasn't exactly happy when Rei chased after Mamoru, who back then she only knew as a jerk who snarked the Hell out at her. Later Mamoru and Usagi were revealed to have a certain Reincarnation Romance deal going on, and Rei immediately stepped aside.
- Girls Bravo: Fukuyama is fine with his kid sister, Lisa, dating and has even offered to find her a suitable boyfriend... so long as it's anyone other than "Puny-Nari". Not that she cares about his objections, since she either has Kosame shoot him, or taze him, whenever he tries to interfere.
- In Summer Wars, the whole Jinnouchi family is either supportive or indifferent to Natsuki's (at first) Fake Relationship with Kenji, except for her second-cousin Shota, who has a severe Big Brother Instinct even in the final scene.
- In his last voiced appearance in the Pokémon XY series, Tierno tries flirting with Serena one more time, but Shauna, herself a Shipper on Deck for Ash and Serena, finally puts her foot down and nixes Tierno's attempts.
Fan Works
- A Crown of Stars: Rei does NOT like seeing Shinji and Asuka together due to a mix of jealousy, envy and over-protectiveness. Put bluntly, Rei does not think Asuka has treated him well and she does not want to admit Asuka cares for Shinji.
- Evangelion 303: When Shinji and Asuka got together, most people in the Distler Air Base were neutral or supportive... but Ritsuko was against it, arguing that their relationship was very volatile and if they broke up it might mess the pilots' teamwork up. However she was told that they should let them make their own choices so that she stopped to try to keep them apart.
- In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide, Ritsuko thinks a relationship between Shinji and Asuka can't work, and chides Misato for not getting it.
- There's multiple cases of this in The Stalking Zuko Series
- Both Zuko and Katara try to gently get Aang to understand that Katara doesn't feel the same way about him that he does about her (or she does in canon, but that's another matter). It ultimately takes Aang kissing Katara for him to give up on getting into a relationship with her.
- Iroh tries repeatedly to convince Zuko that he shouldn't get back together with Mai merely for the sake of honor. Katara also disapproves, but doesn't quite express that well enough, leading Zuko to temporarily rekindle his relationship with Mai.
- Not even Zutara, the main pairing of this fic, is exempt. Hakoda talks to Zuko and, uses his friend Bato's relationship with Ming as an example of why relationships between Fire Nation and Water Tribe people won't workout- it's clear that he's implicitly suggesting that Zuko break up with Katara.
Film (Animated)
- Shows up a lot in the films in the Disney Animated Canon, usually courtesy of the villains.
Elsa: You can't marry a man you just met.Kristoff: Who marries a man she just met!?
- Lady Tremaine aka the Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella wanted to keep Cinderella away from Prince Charming because she hoped he'd choose one of her daughters, whether it's Anastasia or Drizella. In the third movie, she also objects to Anastasia not only having a HeelFace Turn... but also falling in love with a baker boy beneath her station. This contrasts with Cindy being a total Shipper on Deck for Anastasia and her prospect boyfriend.
- In Tangled, Mother Gothel tries to break Rapunzel's faith in Flynn to keep Rapunzel dependent on her. When her last ditch involves Flynn being severely wounded, she tries to force Rapunzel in a Sadistic Choice to save him. It backfired. Fatally. On HER..
- Frozen has Queen Elsa, who refuses to bless her sister Anna and Prince Hans' marriage, and also Kristoff, who calls out Anna on her accepting Hans' marriage proposal on the same day she met him, saying that is in no way true love. They're both right, Hans is an Opportunistic Bastard who only wants to marry one of the royal sisters so he can become king, and plans on disposing of both afterwards.
- Briefly happens in Anastasia, when Vlad worries about Dmitri and Anya's budding romance. He quickly shifts to a Shipper on Deck, though.
Film (Live-Action)
- In The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Nicholas and his villainous uncle try to torpedo Mia/Andrew so that Nicholas can take the throne. No one counted on the Belligerent Sexual Tension between Nicholas and Mia.
- The Dark Knight: Bruce Wayne is a borderline case of this in regards to Harvey and Rachel, since this essentially relegates him to Unlucky Childhood Friend status with respect to the woman he's loved for years. He mostly just makes snarky comments and refuses to believe or accept that Rachel actually loves Harvey, remaining convinced that Dent was just a place filler for himself.
- Lots of examples from Jane Austen's novels
- In Emma, most people think that Emma and Frank Churchill belong together. The only one who thinks that Frank doesn't deserve her is Mr Knightley.

- Darcy reveals that he found out that his sister nearly eloped with a man but luckily he stopped them.
- Lady Catherine is furious when she hears rumours that her nephew Mr Darcy is love with Elizabeth Bennet.
- In Sense and Sensibility, Edward Ferrars' family ships him with wealthy Miss Morton and they are against him courting Elinor Dashwood. Edward is however secretly engaged with much poorer and less genteel woman, which is even worse for them and poor Edward is disinherited.
- Scarlett in Gone with the Wind is decidedly this way towards Ashley and Melanie, since she believes Ashley is her true love.
- A handful in Harry Potter:
- Ron is not a fan of anyone dating his little sister Ginny. It even takes him a little getting used to the idea of his best friend Harry dating her. Ginny eventually tells him off.
- Ron vehemently tries to torpedo Hermione/Viktor Krum, although at this point he Cannot Spit It Out as to the real reason why.
- In flashbacks, Snape towards Lily and James.
- In a more humorous example, this is initially Mrs. Weasley's reaction to Bill and Fleur, but Molly gets over it when Fleur says that she loves Bill even if he's disfigured.
- Ron is not a fan of anyone dating his little sister Ginny. It even takes him a little getting used to the idea of his best friend Harry dating her. Ginny eventually tells him off.
- Alec Lightwood of The Mortal Instruments isn't a fan of Jace/Clary at first, since he has feelings for Jace himself. But once he falls in love with Magnus, he calms down about it.
- In Team Human Mel is adamantly opposed to her best friend Cathy's romance with Francis, a vampire. This is partly Fantastic Racism and partly honest concern for her friend's well-being. Cathy is 17 and Francis is over 150, and the process of becoming a vampire has the risk of killing Cathy or turning her into a zombie.
- Cecile from Bonjour tristesse doesn't super oppose to the idea of her dad Raymond dating her dead mom's best friend Anne at first, but changes her mind upon realising that their relatioship would finish her and Raymond's laid-back, hedonistic lifestyle. It ends in tragedy when Cècile tries to re-hook up Raymond and his ex-lover Elsa... and Anne crack so badly that she goes the Spurned into Suicide way.
- In Eva Luna, Eva's Cool Big Sis Mimi is very upset when she learns that she's dating Huberto. Not helped by Mimi having known Huberto from the days when he was a Street Urchin and she still was the male-bodied teacher Melecio , and by Mimi's Big Sister Instinct towards Eva, which makes her believe that the guy's not good enough for her very smart and kind "little sister".
- Howard from The Underland Chronicles seems hellbent on making sure Gregor and Luxa never go on a date.
- In the novel Barrayar, Vidal Vordarian launches one of these straight between Cordelia, Lady Vorkosigan (nee Captain Cordelia Naismith) and Aral, Admiral & Lord Vorkosigan...by telling Cordelia at a ball that Aral is bisexual. It fails to detonate—Cordelia, a Betan scientist, absent-mindedly agrees that yes, he was, visibly shocking the very Barrayan Vordarian—but it's a rare example of a Shipping Torpedo that feeds into both characterization and a major plot point: once Cordelia realizes Vordarian was trying to destroy her marriage, she immediately suspects him of being exactly the kind of person who would engineer an assassination attempt on her recently-promoted-to-Imperial-Regent husband. She's right.
Live-Action TV
- The Buffyverse is full of this:
- Xander was king of this trope: he loathed Buffy with Angel because he's in love with Buffy; was a Torpedo to Spike/Buffy because he dislikes Spike and thinks he's bad for Buffy, and anti-shipped Wesley/Cordelia for all of the above reasons.
- Pretty much everyone was against Spike/Buffy - even the two of them on occasion. Averted in the recent comics, where everyone accepts their relationship. Except for Angel, for obvious reasons.
- Wesley isn't fond of Fred's relationship with Gunn and less so of her flirtation with Knox, and the Squick that accompanies the pairing of Connor with Cordy makes it unpopular in-universe and out.
- Doctor Who: The trope is played for laughs whenever Captain Jack Harkness is around by the Doctor, given that Jack is a Lovable Sex Maniac and an Extreme Omnisexual. It became a running gag that the Doctor would torpedo Jack to avoid the relationships between companions, ex companions, etc and Jack.
Jack (meeting anybody): Well hello...The Doctor: Jack. NO.Jack: What? I'm just saying "hello"!whoever-Jack-just-met: I don't mind...
- "Deep Breath" appeared to have the Doctor firing the torpedo after a season of his previous persona having an undisguised crush on Clara Oswald by having the Doctor distance himself from her in any romantic sense. However, later episodes showed this torpedo wasn't primed to actually sink the ship, resulting in an Anchored Ship for a time.
- Gilmore Girls is rife with this.
- Lorelai is against Rory/Jess, instead shipping the rival Rory/Dean. Later she also opposes Rory/Dean (since he cheated on his wife) and is against Rory/Logan as well, thanks to Logan bringing Rory back to rich life she ran away from.
- Rory quickly becomes anti-Christopher/Lorelai (despite them being her parents, she realizes they're a poor match) and ships the opposing Luke/Lorelai.
- Richard and Emily vehemently torpedo Luke/Lorelai and Rory/Dean, to the point of Relationship Sabotage. Emily also dislikes Rory/Jess.
- Marty is in love with Rory and thus not a fan of her and Logan
- In a humorous example, Taylor initially opposes Luke and Lorelai's relationship out of a fear of what the breakup would do to the town. He even draws up maps for division in event of a breakup.
- Heartwarmingly subverted on Castle, when everyone assumes Gates would flip out if she discovered Rick and Kate's relationship. Turns out she's as big a Shipper on Deck as the rest of the cast.
- How I Met Your Mother
- Lily is this for many of Ted's girlfriends, as he has a habit of thinking horrible women who aren't looking for a meaningful relationship and who invariably dump him are "the one", and Lily winds up actively sabotaging several of his relationships. Ted does not take this revelation well, especially when it slips out that Robin was one of the girlfriends in question.
- Barney is openly this for Ted/Robin when they date in Season 2, presumably because he doesn't want to lose his wingman. Ironically, this is before Barney falls in love with Robin, after which he gives Ted his blessing to be with Robin several times.
- Degrassi: The Next Generation:
- Everybody is against Craig/Manny, and of course they all blame Manny.
- Manny herself is against Emma/Jay.
- Eric True Blood is an Anti-Shipper for Sookie/Alcide (and probably other Sookie shippings?), given that in the fifth season he hypnotizes Alcide into feeling disgusted by Sookie's touch.
- On iCarly there were several occasions where one of the main characters ruined a relationship for the others:
- In "iSaved Your Life", Sam puts the idea into Freddie's head that Carly is only into him because of hero worship after Freddie saved Carly's life.
- In "iLove You", Carly torpedoes Spencer's girlfriend of the week relationship with a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, which simultaneously causes Sam & Freddie to rethink their own relationship as they overhear the speech and realise it applies to them.
- Several characters from The Big Bang Theory are anti Priya/Leonard shippers:
- Raj, because he doesn't want Leonard dating his sister.
- Her parents because Leonard isn't Indian.
- Amy, Bernadette and Penny either want Leonard/Penny to happen or think Priya is out of line for trying to change Leonard and demanding he stop being friends with Penny.
- Sheldon doesn't like her because she's mean to him and challenged the Roommate Agreement to help Leonard.
- Friends: Phoebe is surprisingly anti Chandler/Monica, implying Monica can do better and predicting when they'll get divorced. This is very odd, as Chandler and Monica are extremely happy together and makes each other much better and more secure people. Yet Phoebe is the biggest Shipper on Deck for the dysfunctional Ross/Rachel, who aren't nearly as well-suited, and her weird perspective is never really explained.
- Made especially weird because Phoebe's relationship with Ross could be described as Vitriolic Best Buds as the show went on, perhaps even moreso than her relationship with Chandler.
- House of Anubis had many, at least one for every couple on the show. Most infamous, though, would probably be Joy, who made no secret of her love for Fabian or her dislike for him and Nina dating.
- Prince Charming and Snow White get this a lot on Once Upon a Time:
- Charming's Jerkass father will take any chance in either world to separate the two, for a variety of reasons but mostly stemming from a vindictive streak after Charming refused to make a marriage alliance because he was in love with Snow.
- Regina wants to prevent Snow from getting a Happily Ever After after a mistake by a young Snow led to the death of her own One True Love.
- While cursed, pretty much everyone is against Mary Margaret and David pursuing their inexplicable feelings.
- If Regina trying to prevent Charming and Snow from being together isn't enough, she rips out the Huntsman's heart as punishment for him sparing Snow; forces the Huntsman, as Graham, to become her lover in Storybrooke (which essentially amounts to rape); and murders Graham out of spite and jealousy when Graham develops feelings for Emma. Regina generally seems to be the anti-ship to every canon ship in Storybrooke, breaking apart families, murdering, and harming others to make sure no one gets a Happily Ever After. Even when shown her soulmate, Robin Hood, Regina sabotages her own chance at a Happily Ever After, because she is afraid of falling in love again.
- The Blue Fairy deliberately prevents Nova and Dreamy, later known as Grumpy, from eloping, because "dwarves don't fall in love", and she thinks she is protecting Nova for her own good. Hell, everyone (except Belle) seems against Dreamy and Nova's love for one another at first. However, after the Dark Curse is lifted from Storybrooke, Dreamy (now known as Leroy) and Nova are reunited, resuming their previous relationship.
- David is extremely against his daughter Emma getting together with the rogueish pirate Hook. Unlike everyone else listed, he doesn't do anything more drastic besides treating Hook with hostility. He seems to have (reluctantly) come around to it by Season 4, since Hook makes Emma happy.
- On Graceland Paige and Johnny are pressuring Mike to break up with Abby. Their reasons are mostly pragmatic since Mike, Paige and Johnny are undercover federal agents and Abby is a civilian who does not know what they do for a living. Abby could inadvertently do something that would break Mike's cover and get him and the others killed. In turn, Mike always lying to Abby about his life and job is no basis for a real relationship and they want to save Mike from the heartbreak.
- In Game of Thrones Catelyn Stark displays visible disapproval of her son Robb's starting relationship with field nurse Talisa Maegyr due to his existing betrothal. And hell, she's right...(In the books it's already too late.)
- In the Firefly episode "War Stories" it's revealed that Mal used to feel like this about Wash and Zoe, since relationships among crew members complicate things.
- Glee: The Ship-to-Ship Combat within the show rivals that of the fandom. A small sampling:
- Quinn, for Finn and Rachel.
- Rachel tends to do this whenever Finn has a relationship with anyone else, but particularly when she tells Finn about who Quinn's baby daddy really is.
- Finn, for his part, has an extremely jealous streak and has punched out both of Rachel's other boyfriends.
- At least in earlier seasons, Sue takes pleasure in torpedoing Will/Emma at every opportunity.
- As she is very protective of Becky, Sue attempts to torpedo her relationship with Darryl, thinking he is using Becky.
- Sue is so invested in making Klaine happen, she torpedoes Blaine/Dave by literaly forcing Blaine and Kurt to kiss.
- In a particularly emotional variation, most of the main cast takes this stance when it is revealed that Cooter has become abusive to Beiste.
- Sebastian isn't a fan of Blaine and Kurt together. Although he seems to get over it by the time he helps with Blaine's proposal.
- Queer as Folk and how:
- From the pilot on for quite some time, Michael can't understand why Justin is different from any of Brian's other tricks, partly because he knows Brian so well and partly out of his own unrequited and long-unresolved feelings for Brian.
- Amusingly, he shifts eventually sides and is vehemently against Justin and Ethan, something he would've welcomed not too long before.
- Brian tends to sabotage Michael's relationships, whether out of a desire to keep himself as the most important person in Mike's life or just out of his utter disdain for monogamy.
- Takes on a more serious tone when several characters (including his own mother) don't want Michael seeing Ben, who is HIV-positive.
- Morgana on Merlin tries a lot of ways to break up Arthur and Guinevere, to make room for her to take the throne of Camelot.
- A darker version on Kings with Jack and Joseph, as Jack's parents vehemently disapprove of his sexuality and certainly are not okay with him having an actual relationship with a man.
- Caroline Forbes on The Vampire Diaries is really vocal about her dislike for Damon and Elena's relationship, mostly because she hates Damon and think Stefan is better for Elena.
- Dan Humphrey fills this role for Chuck and Blair at various points in Gossip Girl, and for various reasons. In season two, while Chuck and Blair are both insisting that they can't be together unless the other person says "I love you" first Dan deliberately sabotages them simply because he doesn't like them and believes they deserve to be unhappy. Later on he does this many times over because he's fallen in love with Blair. In the end, though, Chuck and Blair end up Happily Married.
- Eponine of Les Misérables is this towards Marius and Cosette, due to her own unrequited love for Marius.
- Anita from West Side Story tries to sink Tony/Maria because she believes Tony is a dangerous, murderous boy who will break Maria's heart.
- The major conflict in Much Ado About Nothing comes from Don John's attempt to wreck Claudio and Hero's relationship. Partly to embarrass his Shipper on Deck brother, but mostly For the Evulz.
- Many of the Phantom's actions in The Phantom of the Opera appear to stem from his obsessive love for Christine and his attempts to destroy her romance with Raoul.
Video games
- Art of Fighting: Takuma is aware that his daughter, Yuri, and his student, Robert, have feelings for each other. Her older brother, Ryo, is also aware of this... and they're both determined that it isn't gonna happen. They're convinced that a billionaire playboy like Robert will only take Yuri for granted, even though he helped rescue her in the original game and has been trying to get with her for the last several years. Plus, Yuri is an adult who's capable of defending herself. The issue was seemingly resolved, during Ryo and Robert's endings in Art of Fighting 3, where Ryo finally relented and told Yuri to go after him. But in the King of Fighters series, their relationship is downplayed and has remained tentative at best, due to Takuma's single-handed interference. (Ryo doesn't seem to mind as much anymore, probably because Robert and Yuri ship him with King).
- In School Days, Setsuna harasses Kotonoha because she wants Makoto to hook up with her best friend and half-sister Sekai instead. In one path, Sekai's friends Nanami and Hikari as well as Otome's Girl Posse bully Kotonoha specifically because they want Makoto/Sekai to happen. It doesn't go well... FOR SEKAI.
- Girl Genius: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach and Tarvek Sturmvoraus are this to each other, since they both love Agatha), considering their backgrounds it gets put on hold at least until they can leave the battlefield where they were at the moment. Also they are inside a deadly architecture construct with a sadistic predisposition.
- Larisa is this for a while in Sandra and Woo between Sandra and Cloud, until she realises she values her friendship with Sandra more than she wants Cloud as her boyfriend.
- In Slightly Damned Heathcliff fired a Shipping Torpedo at Buwaro's crush on Kieri, by pointing out several reasons why Buwaro wasn't good enough for her. Ironically, this ended up resulting in a Relationship Upgrade when Buwaro almost died protecting Kieri as a result of this. It also lead to Buwaro being inspired to become stronger and smarter for Kieri.
Western Animation
- Phineas and Ferb: Suzie always does everything in her power to break up her brother Jeremy's relationship with Candace.
- Scooby-Doo in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, once he finds out Shaggy and Velma are dating, is hellbent on breaking them up via forcing a Friend Versus Lover decision on Shaggy. He succeeds.
- The Spectacular Spider-Man: Sally Arvil hated that popular, cheerleader Liz was in a relationship with geeky, science nerd Peter because it upset the social balance of Midtown High. Her reaction to their break up was to declare "finally", echoing Mary Jane's reaction to Gwen and Peter getting together.
- Steven Universe: Back in the early days of Greg and Rose's relationship, Pearl tries to rub Greg's inability to fuse with Rose in his face in order to make him insecure enough to give up pursuing Rose.

Traffic lights out south of I-90 on Argonne, Mullan
There's been a lot of chatter on the scanner in the last few minutes about traffic lights being out on Argonne and Mullan south of I-90. It looks lke the lights at the Argonne freeway on and off ramps are also out. I can't tell if there's a backup on the freeway or not because the DOT cameras are also out. Everyone be careful out there.
1:22 p.m. update: The DOT traffic cameras are back up, but I'm not sure about the stop lights. It doesn't look like traffic is backed up on the freeway, though.

Slow and error-prone manual invoice processing
Automated invoice processing with ABBYY FlexiCapture
Lower error rates, reduced processing times, AP staff work far more efficiently

PepsiCo Imaging Technology creates document imaging and management solutions for PepsiCo's worldwide network of business entities. However, the company's four largest European entities were still keying invoice and credit memo data into SAP manually – a labor-intensive process that was time-consuming and error-prone. To alleviate this, PepsiCo sought to automate the entities' AP processes – which Imaging Technology achieved with help from ABBYY FlexiCapture.
"Manual data entry created big inefficiencies."
Jignesh Patel,
Sr. Imaging Dept. Manager at PepsiCo Imaging Technology
The PepsiCo family of brands are trusted by households in over 200 countries and enjoyed by millions of people every day. And to help its dozens of regional business entities manage their documentation, PepsiCo created its Imaging Technology department in 1989. "This was a forward-looking move," says Jordan Clevenger, Project Manager,PepsiCo. "We've been creating custom imaging and content management solutions, well in advance of other companies, for 20 years."
Imaging Technology's successes led PepsiCo to engage it in an ambitious project. Code-named "POWER," it would automate Accounts Payable processing for two entities in France, one in Belgium and another in the Netherlands. "All were manual," says Jignesh Patel, Sr. Imaging Dept. Manager of Imaging Technology. "Belgium did basic image capture, but no data capture." As a result, data had to be keyed into PepsiCo's SAP system, with all the drawbacks of slow, costly, and error-prone manual entry.
Patel and his team were tasked with creating an automated capture solution capable of supporting multiple languages, multiple currencies, large-volume batch processing and complex data fields. Along with vendor and customers' names, value added tax (VAT) information had to be captured for both customers and vendors, too – as well as purchase orders, invoice amounts and line items.
"Manually entering this data created big inefficiencies," says Patel. "Our mandate was to streamline this process so each entity could capture and verify invoice information for export into PepsiCo's ERP system – which also meant the product would require full SAP integration. Fortunately we had gained expertise in all this from an earlier project, where we became acquainted with a solution for automating form capture: ABBYY FlexiCapture."
Previously, Patel's team helped PepsiCo's Russian office with its AP workflow – a complex process involving multiple document types, business processes and languages. "Their documents were not pure invoices," recalls Patel. "Other processes were involved, and we had to work in Cyrillic. They recommended FlexiCapture, so we used it to work with our in-house data repository and workflow solution, Image Vision – which converts captured data to XML then sends it to our SAP backend. FlexiCapture integrated smoothly and worked well right from the start."
To help expedite the POWER Project, PepsiCo leveraged the expertise of Criteria First – an ABBYY partner who helped Imaging Technology with PepsiCo's Russian project. "We did the exploratory work in handling the multiple languages, currencies, and VAT's," explains Russell Kent, Solutions Developer with Criteria First. "For the POWER Project, we configured the software to do the same for France, Belgium, the Netherlands as well as a few German, Italian and Swiss entities – what's known as the PepsiCo Western European Region."
Patel says that Criteria First's initial goal was to create a test pilot for each of the major entities to review. "We wanted to ensure satisfaction from both the standpoint of users and leadership," explains Patel. "And having tested the new solution, they all agreed that it really would reduce their workload."
Once fully implemented, the accounts payable workflow became straightforward, automatic and highly cost effective. The solution is hosted at PepsiCo's North Texas data facility and accessed remotely via the web. This enables the cost of the system to be shared between the business entities and greater consistency in PepsiCo's AP procedures.
The process begins when paper invoices in any of five languages are scanned locally by each of the entities via ABBYY Scan Station. They are then sent into POWER Project, identified with the correct entity, and recognized by FlexiCapture. From there, the new digital documents and data are sent to verification stations – and once verified, forwarded PepsiCo's Image Vision for approval. After that, the data is exported in XML file format to PepsiCo's SAP ERP solution.
Patel describes the new solution as saving time from the start. And he says that FlexiCapture's accuracy means verification time is minimal. "Of course, we do manually verify each index. But this really amounts to correcting the odd character or so. It doesn't take a lot of time – the solu¬tion is working extremely accurately."
FlexiCapture's accuracy is also proving stable under a heavy workload. In its first three months the POWER Project solution has processed two thousand batches, over 21,000 documents and nearly 40,000 pages without issues – in a mix of five languages. And it's just the beginning, according to Kent: "This tells us the solution can scale to handle virtually any workload. Since implementation, I have received near-zero questions from PepsiCo. It's going splendidly."
Jignesh Patel concurs: "From an ABBYY perspective, there hasn't been anything that gets me involved. Which tells me we're doing really well. It's running smoothly."
According to Patel, the Imaging Technology team is working on new ways to leverage FlexiCapture. "We are now engaged in creating an AP solution for the entire globe. It will be a common process that will bring the same benefits to everywhere PepsiCo has accounts payable activities. And it's going to integrate ABBYY."
"Users and management are very happy. We have cut down processing times significantly for them."

Preserve City Hall and what it represents
Every great city has an icon that expresses its soul. Milwaukee's City Hall symbolizes the soul and spirit of our city.
While the spectacular Calatrava-designed Milwaukee Art Museum wing is now often portrayed in promoting the city, it tells nothing of the citizens of our city or of our heritage. Our City Hall reflects directly upon those industrious citizens who were dedicated to make a great city and who chose to build our City Hall as a way creating that ideal.
During the great Panic of 1893, when unemployment hovered around 40% in the city, the decision to build this iconic structure was both daring and far-sighted. When City Hall was dedicated in 1895, it was the tallest inhabited structure in the world, a title it held until 1899.
Recent disturbing news that a portion of City Hall is sinking gives Milwaukeeans pause as to the expense (as much as $15 million) that may be incurred to arrest the sinking. And this is on top of the $76 million already spent to repair the aging terra cotta on the building.
Is the building worth repairing, some may wonder, while the city is facing difficulties in paying for needed services? The answer is a resounding yes.
The construction of City Hall represented a symbol of the faith of Milwaukee citizens in the spirit of good government and the realization that a strong city needed honest, dedicated leaders. Much of this desire for good representative government was born after the Bay View Tragedy of May 5, 1886, when at least seven workers demonstrating on behalf of the eight-hour workday were gunned down by the state militia in front of the Bay View Rolling Mill.
The tragic incident spurred an interest among the working people of Milwaukee in seeking a decent city government that would represent their interests. Thus was created a People's Party, which along with groups of public-spirited citizens, helped to lay the groundwork for a City Hall that would serve as an inspiration to all who value good government.
For 15 years after City Hall's dedication, the city faced fights between established and corrupt leadership and the people. By 1910, Socialists took control, beginning a 50-year stretch in which Socialist mayors ruled most of the time. Their control resulted in developing a tradition of good government, marked with a dedication by key politicians and department heads to honor their commitment to "serve the people."
Milwaukee set the standard for efficient, well-run and largely corruption-free government unique among the big cities of the nation; it is a tradition that continues today, more than 50 years after the last Socialist mayor, Frank P. Zeidler, left office.
City Hall, completed in two years at a cost of $1 million, symbolized also the hardworking nature of Milwaukee citizens. The completion of such a monumental structure in an era before heavy lift cranes must have taken the muscle power and ingenuity of legions of engineers, technicians, masons and laborers.
Among the workers who scaled the scaffolds was Bricklayers Local 8 member Charles J. Baumbach, who emigrated as a teenager from Europe in 1870. His grandson, Charles R. Baumbach of Mill Valley, Calif., and a native Milwaukeean, recalls that his grandfather was proud of being one of those who built City Hall. The project involved more than German workers; photos from the era show African-Americans working on the crews.
While the architecture of City Hall reflects the Germanic traditions of 1893 Milwaukee, it still stands as a symbol of hope for a city whose population has radically changed. Just as the citizens of Milwaukee 121 years ago rallied in the time of economic challenge to build a magnificent City Hall, so can citizens today work together to keep our City Hall standing tall.
For years ahead, all citizens of the city will be able to view this magnificent structure as a symbol of hope to maintain all that makes Milwaukee special as well as to cure those ills that endanger the vitality of the city.

About MeIt is important to me that the subject take away something they will cherish. My approach to photography is cinematic and imaginative, sometimes surreal. The contrast of human emotion and expression, stories and drama, the diversity of beauty, colors and moods drive me to make photographs. I place focus on the subject and love portraits.
I enjoy photographs where I can imagine a story and character in the subject. These are some of what inspires me to make photographs.

The rest of the day was disaster. Kent put me through a dozen different defense exercises they were brutal and simple. There was absolute no sense of honor, the objective was to disable your opponent and that was achieved in any way possible. I collapsed on my cot in an abandoned barracks set aside for me. It took me exactly two seconds to fall asleep.
I was awaken by the unpleasant sound of a gun going off.
I felt a bullet crush itself self into my chest. I bolted up scales out my chest aching from the impact. The gun exploded again and the impact sent me to my bed. In the smoke of the gun I saw Sergeant Kent. He was frowning and pointing the gun at my chest. I was a little stunned from the whole experience. He lowered the weapon.
"Today you're going to learn control."
I was a little to stunned to answer might have had something to with the fact that I was woken by being shot. I tumbled out of bed pulling on my army fatigues. On another day I might have check the mirror but I was determined to prove myself to Kent. He was waiting for me outside my barracks, without a word he stalked towards the big tent. I was beginning to hate that place. On the table in the center of the room there were two sunny side up eggs and a whole pile of bacon. My mouth watered but I knew I wasn't going to be eating these until I earned it. Kent pulled out his Browing Hi-Power again but this time I was ready and my scales were well in place when the bullet shattered on my chest.
I looked at him defiantly and a little smugly.
"No!" He roared, "Keep your scales in!"
Then I realized what the exercise was about. I was invulnerable all the time but I felt pain when my scales weren't out. Kent wanted me to learn to fight without my scales and control myself despite the pain. I steeled myself proverbially and let my scales fade.
The next bullet hit skin and burned like being stabbed with a hot poker. I staggered a step back but then straightened. Kent fire twice his bullets slammed into my forehead and stomach. I had gotten used to not feeling anything and the pain was shocking. The next bullet caught me in the throat. I nearly screamed and it took a huge effort I kept my scales in. Kent nodded and lowered his weapon and I got bacon.
That's how the rest of the week Kent would work me to breaking point every day. I didn't give up. By the time the week was out I knew how to fire an assault rifle, handgun, and deliver brutal blows with my fists and feet. But most importantly I did it all with out scales. I learned to control them. Kent would burst into my room at night and it took time not to react with my scales. But by the end of the time I learned to sleep lightly and when I awoke it was never in panic. On the final day I rolled out of my cot at 5:30 with my watch beeping me awake. I looked in the mirror. My hair had always be short but now it was virtually non existent. I looked at my arms and chest, the beginnings of hard muscle were starting to form. When I got back I resolved to ask dad to buy me some gym equipment.
I pulled on my green shirt and left the barracks I stood in front of my door. I stood completely erect and serious. At exactly 6 Kent stalked up the only indication of surprise he gave was a raised eye brow. He inspected my stance and then nodded approvingly. He trekked of towards the training tent and I knew I should follow. Without a word he took a bottle of water from the cooler and I smiled.

Chapter 17Mature
Jumping a bit at how close that sounded, he saw the raccoon take off towards the yard. A chill ran through his nerves as he started running. He couldn't lose this animal. Alex was soon lost in a sprint and started gaining on the raccoon, hoping the fence would slow it down.
As it reached the fence and bounded towards it, Alex saw his opening and reached out with both his paws. The first grab missed, only sweeping at the tip of its tail. The second didn't, and his claws sank into the animal's chest, stopping it on the spot.
The animal hissed and cried out in pain, making Alex panic. He yanked it from the fence, its claws scrapping loudly against the wood, and wrapped his paw around the animal's face. The screeching stopped, replaced by a muffled squealing. His heart already pounding rapidly, Alex listened for any voices. From his parents or anyone else.
He heard none.
The raccoon then started scratching at his paws. Its claws barely sliced his skin, but he could feel his grip loosening from it squirming around so much. The paw over its face loosened for a second to retighten, but the raccoon went on the attack. Biting into the flesh of his paw.
Letting out a dull snarl of pain, Alex pulled the raccoon off him and tightened his grip on it. Again sealing its mouth. Listening again, he heard nothing. Opening his jaws, his fangs closed around its head, the raccoon's squeals now piercing to his ears. He hesitated, but only for a second.
With a bite, a swift tug and a pop, he ripped the head off of his catch, letting it fall from his mouth as the carcass went limp in his paws and no more sounds were made. He felt nauseous for a second afterwards. He'd done it again. Killed an innocent animal.
Licking his teeth, he could already taste blood on them. The animal might have been small and not as satisfying to take down as the doe was, but the deed was done. All that was left was his chance to feed. Something he wasted no time in doing.
The taste of fresh meat and muscle in his mouth, even if the fur he got wasn't pleasant to taste, was pleasing. Trying to avoid any bones as well, he got as much of the animal as he could, his ears perked to listen for any other sounds. He still didn't hear his name, or anything else beyond maybe a single voice.
As he fed, the clawing hunger slowly went away, leaving his body far more at ease. Licking his lips as he finished, he tucked the carcass away in a corner of the yard, along with the severed head. Checking to make sure it was well hidden, he made his way back inside. Taking a minute to wash all traces of blood off his fur, he returned to the kitchen amidst a sea of coffee scents.
His folks didn't ask him anything, much to his relief. Despite them still looking unnerved at seeing him as a werewolf, he had to smile to himself. While his old feelings of sadness tried to come up, they were overpowered by his relief of dodging a worst case scenario.

A counterclockwise trip around the Capital Beltway beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 11:45 a.m. — including a coffee break in Tysons — took me through many of the road conditions that this snowy day has in store for drivers.
Worst traveling: the southwest quadrant between Tysons and Springfield. Least troublesome: the southeast quadrant between Springfield and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Snow plows and sand trucks were visible in all sectors along the 64-mile loop. There was enough sand out there to to replenish Ocean City. I suspect the wide variety in driving conditions I encountered had more to do with pavement temperature and type of precipitation than with the road crews' level of activity.
As I describe the trip, don't look for specific guidance on your afternoon trips. For information on the evolving storm and its impact, turn to the Capital Weather Gang and The Post's live blog. The Beltway's micro-climates may have altered since I drove through them.
What I hope to show you is the range of experiences you have have throughout Wednesday.
I began the trip in Silver Spring amid light traffic — not exactly Christmas Day light, but far less than would be typical as rush hour winds down. The average speed was 45 mph. Passing Connecticut Avenue, I could see a plow train forming up behind me.
Another cluster of plows and sand trucks appeared by the Old Georgetown Road interchange, where some difficult conditions were reported. Of course, I looked for the things my readers complain about: Drivers without lights, vehicles ready to shed their snow crowns on the cars behind them.
They were all out there, but not numerous. And there wasn't much of the fancy driving that can make bad-weather travel so treacherous. People were pretty well behaved.
I decided to take the 495 Express Lanes into Tysons, partly because I wanted to exit at the Westpark Drive bridge and enter that mall parking garage, and partly because I wanted to see how the lanes looked during their first encounter with a snowstorm.
At that point, the regular lanes and the express lanes looked about the same. When I continued driving south later, conditions were very different. The two southbound express lanes were white except for the darker tracks made by the relative handful of cars using them.
The exit ramps at Westpark Drive and Gallows Road were snow-covered and a bit difficult to navigate. I got out of the express lanes at Gallows Road so I could switch over and test the regular lanes of the Beltway outer loop.
The ramp from Gallows onto the outer loop had to be taken very slowly because of snow cover. The regular lanes were in better shape than the express lanes at that point.
During this part of the trip, I eventually saw plows and sand trucks working in all the lanes. And the Virginia Department of Transportation has pledged to treat all the lanes the same.
My theory is that I was passing through at a time when snow was falling heavily, the plows hadn't been through in a while, and the express lanes are lightly traveled, so tire treads have little effect in turning snow to slush.
Perhaps VDOT should not treat all the lanes the same until traffic in the express lanes picks up?
But the express lanes did not offer the worst conditions on this trip. That came just a little later as I drove through Springfield on the south side of the Beltway. A combination of heavy snow and heavy traffic created hazards. The road surface was very slushy, and when tractor trailers passed by, they kicked up streams of melting snow that spread across the windshield.
Wipers set to their highest speed could not cope with that, and the traffic ahead was invisible for a few seconds. I was glad that the windshield was warm, so the slush did not freeze on it.
Even as this was happening, plow trucks were moving through the sector, and many of us fell in line behind them for a slower but safer trip.
Just past Springfield, the road surface and the weather changed dramatically. Snow was replaced by rain, and the pavement was merely wet. Traffic speeds picked up.Plows and sand trucks were stopped along the shoulders, apparently waiting for something to do, with the pavement merely wet.
This climate continued across the Wilson Bridge and well into Prince George's County. But north of Branch Avenue, conditions began to change yet again. The rain mixed with sleet and snow, in about equal proportions. The mix was driven by a gusty wind.
In this zone, drivers went way too fast for the visibility and the road condition.
By the time I passed the I-95 interchange and swung back through Silver Spring, the mix had given way to wet snow, but the road surface was in good shape and traffic remained light, as it should be throughout the day.
But don't count on any other element in the day's travels being consistent.

Very interesting.
Robin looks amazing there.
Nami looks way better with shorter hair, but from those I kind of like the one with her hair up just to get it out of the way.
Luffy may get a jacket like that later on.

Thanks once again, dude!
Anyway, to sum it up, we get confirmation that the Florian Triangle is based off the Bermuda Triangle (pretty obvious), The tree at Rusukaina island is based off the Daft Green from Strong World (though it's not the exact same tree, since it lacks poisonous gas and whatnot), and the most interesting out of them.....well, I think aohige's words will suffice here:
The Ace fans may not be too happy to learn that their favorite characters' fate was set in stone right from the get-go.....
Anyway, the rest of the SBS pages should be appearing soon, so there may yet be more interesting bits of info to discover!

I'm just guessing, but in the manga - the sound Akainu's DF made as he was reforming after being blasted by all the cannons - was "crackle"
..and that is pretty much the sound magma makes..so i'd say it'd be crackle-crackle fruit...or however you say that in japanese.
I'd like to know what Ace & Whitebeard's bounties were. Both are gone now - it'd be nice to see....
kinda sad that Ace's fate was always gonna be death. Poor guy.

Yeah, bounties would be great (I personally want to know the bounties of Whitebeard's NW allies myself), but I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing that sort of info on an SBS anytime soon. But then again, it was through the question corner where we learned that Eneru's hypothetical bounty is 500 million, so there may still be a sliver of hope......
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing more of those post-skip sketches (as well as sketches of other characters, as well). It's fun (albeit sometimes disappointing) to see that what could have been....

I'd also expect every NW Captains that turned up durin the war would at least have a 100 Million Bounty on their head.
I guess we'll see just how high bounties actually go when the SH's hit the New World.

Well, more SBS info has appeared. However..... there's nothing really special here. Still, it's quite a coincidence that the last few posts were talking about the Whitebeard commanders, because a couple of questions actually concern them! One of them is asking why Namur (commander #8, the merman) doesn't appear on volume 57's cover, to which Oda responds that it was a printing mistake (since he appears in the original version of said cover). The other question is much more amusing:
However, my favorite bit of info by far concerns Oda's month-long vacation from last year. Once again, I let aohige do the talking here:
Now that's just plain awesome. Really glad to learn that Oda actually took time to unwind during that period, since he works his butt off enough as it is (though some people seem to think otherwise......). Personally, I'd have no objection to him taking a vacation every year, since he's more deserving of the time off unlike a certain DQ junkie......

Aaaannnnnd it's bumpin' time!
Anyway, volume 62's out now, so you know what that means! The info comes from various sources (mainly aohige and Greg's translations, though):
-Time to start with the most interesting piece of info by far: WE GET THE NAME OF AKAINU'S FRUIT! Ol' admiral Clifford has the powers of the Magu Magu fruit (comes from "magma", obviously).
-Luffy's latest scar comes from when Akainu magma-fisted him and Jinbei at Marineford, as some of us already guessed.
-Turns out there was an error a few chapters back. Remember how Zoro's bounty was apparently raised to 160 million? Well, his bounty wasn't actually raised at all (meaning he's still a 120 million bounty supernova). Sorry, Zoro fans, but it looks like you'll have to wait a bit longer for his next bounty hike.....
-Interesting bit of trivia about the supernova Killer: Apparently, he eats while still wearing his mask. He chiefly eats pasta, and drinks sake through a straw.
-Apparently, Luffy going back and forth from fat to skinny and fat again while eating takoyaki in volume 51 has something to do with a "diet rebound" (lol).
-Remember the sketches from OP Green that showed Katarina was originally going to be some hot cat-eared samurai chick? Turns out Oda changed his mind on that since he ultimately decided that Blackbeard's crew would be the most piratelike one of them all, and having someone cute like that as a part of the crew wouldn't fit (personally, I totally agree with him on this one).
-The Goa kingdom's Grey Terminal slum is based on the Smoky Mountains from the Phillipines.
-Uh, so apparently a Penis Fleur would be possible if a dude ate Robin's DF.....
-And on that note, the clouds Oda draws are based on his farts....
-Going back to non-silly trivia, we get some interesting info about Law: The supernova's habit of addressing people with the suffix of "-ya" is a way that people from the Edo period addressed each other by their profession.
-And on that note, we get the names of those other two dudes from Law's crew: Penguin (the dude with the "penguin" hat, obviously), and Shachi (uh, that other dude with a hat. His name means killer whale/orca).
-Now here's something real interesting: Oda seems to imply that Garp's "Fist of Love" from W7 was literally using the power of love, NOT Haki. This may be further explored in the future.....
Well now, this was an interesting SBS. Definitely more informative than the last couple Q&As (and hey, we even get the name of Akainu's fruit!). But now I wonder how many penis jokes volume 63's SBS will have.....?

I'll never look at clouds the same way again
Thanks for the infos. It makes sense for Zoro's bounty to have remained the same, since he didn't do anything those past two years... On the other hand, I'm still hoping Franky's did get a raise thanks to his antics.

I like how the silly/pointless info seems to be getting the most attention so far (but alas, such is the nature of the SBS).
Anyway, it's really cool that Oda's been giving us all this DF info during these recent few SBS corners (the name of Sengoku and Tsuru's fruits, more detailed explanations of Whitebeard and Marco's fruits, etc.). I really hope he continues this trend for future corners! Maybe he'll give us the name of Onigumo's spider zoan next! Or perhaps he can even tell us more about the abilities of some of the other Whitebeard commanders (Jozu's diamond fruit, that insane "pocket" power that we saw used by Blamenco), or even the NW captains (like Makugai (who seems to also have an electric DF power), or Aylwan/Islewan (the walrus guy))......

Simulation of C and N mineralisation during crop residue decomposition: A simple dynamic model based on the C:N ratio of the residues

C and N mineralisation kinetics obtained in laboratory incubations during decomposition of crop residues under non-limiting nitrogen conditions were simulated using a simple dynamic model. This model includes three compartments: the residues, microbial biomass and humified organic matter. Seven parameters are used to describe the C and N fluxes. The decomposed C is either mineralised as CO2 or assimilated by the soil microflora, microbial decay producing both C humification and secondary C mineralisation. The N dynamics are governed by the C rates and the C:N ratio of the compartments which remain constant in the absence of nitrogen limitation. The model was parameterised using apparent C and N mineralisation kinetics obtained for 27 different residues (organs of oilseed rape plants) that exhibited very wide variations in chemical composition and nitrogen content. Except for the C:N ratio of the residues and the soil organic matter, the other five parameters of the model were obtained by non-linear fitting and by minimising the differences between observed and simulated values of CO2 and mineral N. Three parameters, namely the decomposition rate constant of the residues, the biomass C:N ratio and humification rate, were strongly correlated with the residues C:N ratio. Hyperbolic relationships were established between these parameters and the residues C:N ratio. In contrast, the other two parameters, i.e. the decay rate of the microbial biomass and the assimilation yield of residue-C by the microbial biomass, were not correlated to the residues C:N ratio and were, therefore, fixed in the model. The model thus parameterised against the residue C:N ratio as a unique criterion, was then evaluated on a set of 48 residues. An independent validation was obtained by taking into account 21 residues which had not been used for the parameterisation. The kinetics of apparent C and N mineralisation were reasonably well simulated by the model. The model tended to over-estimate carbon mineralisation which could limit its use for C predictions, but the kinetics of N immobilisation or mineralisation due to decomposition of residues in soil were well predicted. The model indicated that the C:N ratio of decomposers increased with the residue C:N ratio. Higher humification was predicted for substrates with lower C:N ratios. This simple dynamic model effectively predicts N evolution during crop residue decomposition in soil.

Chris Brown Makes Appearance During Skit With Drake At ESPY's [Video]
Looks like the Chris Brown and Drake feud is finally over.
They can even joke about it now. That's because last night as Drake hosted the ESPY's, Chris Brown "shocked" Drizzy as they all appeared in a skit during the show alongside Los Angeles Clippers big man Blake Griffin.
Did he make it out alive? Check out the skit below.

I was on tech editor Scott Lowe's former job, The Verge, website today and someone posted an interesting form on there. The simple questions of "What internet browser do you use", was asked. The replies were tremendous. But It's not the replies the catch my curiosity, it's the types of browsers people were using.
A lot of people surprising answered with IE9 (Internet Explorer 9), so much so that I'd say 4/10 people asked answered with IE9. The people who did not choose Internet Explorer however, choose the infamous Google Chrome. Why you ask? The only reason they choose Chrome was because of the bookmarking and the seemless syncing google has adapted to all Chrome browsers, be it on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
I myself use Google Chrome for it's simplicity, syncing features, and its fast load times. I can't stand using a slow, dated browser that takes seconds to upload even the simplest of webpages --- Safari. I also use Chrome because I love having the ability to shut my computer down; pick up my iPad or iPhone and continue my browsing experience right from the tabs I had open on my computer.
So to have me going on and one about browsers, what internet browsers do you, the IGN community, use?

Canada's Sherritt confirms strike at Madagascar plant
(Reuters) - Diversified Canadian miner Sherritt International Corp said on Wednesday that some employees went on strike from Monday at its Ambatovy processing plant near Toamasina, Madagascar.
The plant continues to operate with no significant impact to production and the strike was not expected to affect the miner's 2015 production forecast, Sherritt said in a statement.
Sherritt spokesman Sean McCaughan declined to specify a particular reason for the strike at the processing plant.
However, the strike at the plant was not related to a strike at the Ambatovy nickel mine last month, spokesperson Scott Tabachnick said in an email.
"The current action taking place within the plant is wholly unrelated to the mine," Tabachnick said, without providing details.
The strike at the mine in late March, which curtailed ore feed to the processing plant, was resolved last month, Tabachnick said.
Sherritt said on Wednesday it is committed to working with employees and government officials to resolve the dispute at the plant quickly.
The Ambatovy mine, operated by Sherritt, is a joint venture with Sumitomo Corp, Korea Resources and SNC-Lavalin.
Sherritt had in February raised its nickel production forecast for 2015, expecting to ramp up production from Ambatovy. Continued...

The increasing number of people relying on Tosa Cares has nearly emptied the food pantry's shelves. Now, volunteers have one month to collect donations and restock before the next distribution.
"Our donations need to increase," said Tom Ertel, who coordinates the community outreach program with wife, Linda. "We have difficulty keeping up with the demand."
So far this year, Tosa Cares has already helped out about 1,000 people. Those numbers are up dramatically from the 389 people the pantry assisted in 2008. The Ertels attribute the increased referrals from police, school social workers and church pastors to job losses and financial hardships of the down economy coupled with word getting out about Tosa Cares after more than a year in operation.
In August, 133 people came through the pantry doors at Mount Zion Church, 12012 W. North Ave. Some needed assistance for a brief time while they look for a new job while others are longer-term clients.
"People that need that little extra help," Linda Ertel said.
Donations are crucial
Unlike many area pantries, Tosa Cares, which distributes food seven times a year, does not receive food or supplies from outside groups like Second Harvest or the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee. Instead, the nonprofit organization relies on an annual Community Development Block Grant funds from the city and the rest comes from donations.
The pantry has had to delve into its monetary donations to help buy nonperishable food. The money typically would be used to purchase fresh produce, meat and eggs so families have a balanced diet.
The empty shelves are not a sign that Wauwatosa residents have not been helping out, however. Local churches, civic groups, schools and businesses have chipped in by holding drives for food as well as school supplies, holiday baskets, winter clothes and children's books for summer reading. But more help is needed to meet the growing requests for assistance.
Creative solutions encouraged
The Ertels are urging community groups to get creative in how they approach collections. Perhaps school classes want to challenge each other to see who can donate the most mittens and gloves; a neighborhood association could hold a rummage to raise money; or a child who already has a lot of toys could ask birthday party guests to bring stuffed animals for the pantry.
"So many different groups can participate. There are lots of ways they can help with collections," Linda Ertel said. "We want to be able to supply these families with a generous amount of assistance."
First Congregational Church, for example, came up with the idea of donating gently used jeans, a staple of any person's wardrobe.
In October, Tosa Cares will be soliciting donations of warm winter clothes: coats, sweaters, boots, hats, gloves and scarves.
There is also a need for additional volunteers to sort, pack and distribute food items. Individuals are welcome, but the task would serve as a good community-service project for school and civic groups and scout troops, Linda Ertel said.
WHAT: Tosa Cares food pantry
WHEN: By appointment
WHERE: Mount Zion Church, 12012 W. North Ave.
CONTACT: (414) 258-0456 or e-mail email@example.com
The following is a list of items for which the Tosa Cares pantry is always in need:
• Cereal

The Number of the Hours (3 of 11) by George H. Morrison
This content is part of a series.The Number of the Hours
George H. Morrison
John 11:9
These words were spoken by Jesus at the time when news had been brought Him that Lazarus was sick. For two days Jesus had made no move but had abode with His disciples where He was. The disciples would be certain to misconstrue that inactivity-they would whisper "Our Master at last is growing prudent"-and therefore their amazement and dismay when Christ announced He was going to Judea. They broke out upon Him with expostulation-"Lord, it was but yesterday that you were stoned there. It is as much as your life is worth to think of going-it were the rankest folly to run that tremendous risk." And it was then that Jesus turned upon the twelve, with a look which they never would forget, and said to them, "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" It is on these words that I wish to dwell a little in the quiet of this communion evening. I want to use them as a lamp to illumine some of the characteristics of the Lord. For they seem to me to irradiate first, the earnestness; second, the fearlessness; and third, the fretlessness of our Savior, Jesus Christ. First, then, their light on the earnestness of Christ.
What first arrests us, reading the life of Jesus, is not His strong intensity of purpose. It is only gradually, and as our study deepens, that we feel the push of that unswerving will. If you put the Gospel story into the hand of a pagan, to whom it came with the freshness of discovery, what would impress him would not be Christ's tenacity, but the variety and the freedom of His life. Never was there a career that bore so little trace of being lived in accordance with a plan. Never were deeds so happily spontaneous; never were words so sweetly incidental. To every moment was perfect adaptation, as if that were the only moment of existence. This hiding of intensity is mirrored in the great paintings of the face of Christ. In the galleries of the old masters I do not know one picture where the face of Christ i ...

You've Done It Unto Me

You've Done It Unto Me (Vocal). Composed by Jim Clemens. For High Voice, Piano. Carlton C. Buck. Sacred. Published by Voice of the Rockies (VR.VOR12V02).
On a text by Carlton Buck from 1907, this piece has a strophic melody. The accompaniment hints at modal sounds from time to time, but is generally tonal. Lots of repetition and not difficult.

Jennifer Lawrence is in the Bay Area; shows off new look
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire cast was in town today making the rounds at Bay Area tech companies. Jennifer Lawrence caused the most talk, though, as she debuted a new look with much shorter hair than we're used to seeing on her:
So far, it seems some people aren't really feeling the look:
