Making sense of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone - .PDF file.
Shanghai's new Free Trade Zone (FTZ) boasts a number of firsts, not least the speed of its creation. From a few oblique media references through the middle of 2013, the FTZ has raced through government approvals, receiving State Council (the highest body in China) approval in August and formally launching at the end of September, accompanied by a blaze of media interest.
So what exactly is the Shanghai FTZ and what does it mean for international business? The first thing notable about the FTZ is its modest size — just a narrow coastal strip of the extended Shanghai metropolitan area and covering 29km².
However, the Chinese government has historically preferred using contained pilot programmes as the launching pad for more widespread reform. Depending on the success of the implementation process, the Shanghai FTZ model may well become the blueprint for more widespread economic reform both in Shanghai and across the country…

Talk:Saint-Michel, Montreal
|WikiProject Canada / Quebec / Montreal / Communities
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
The metro stations Fabre, Iberville and St. Michel are not in the St. Michel District of Montreal. They are in François-Perreault. While it's true the St. Michel Metro used to be part of the St. Michel district, François-Perreault was created and it now holds the 3 metros. For reference: http://www.navurb.com/nu_inter/index.html
Well it all depends of what definition you give to the term "district". If it's for the electoral district, then you're right, the stations are no longer in the Saint-Michel electoral district.
However, if we are referring to the neighbourhood or former city of Saint-Michel (which I believe this is what this article is about), then those metros stations are still part of it since I have yet to hear a neighbourhood in Montreal by the name of François-Perreault. While I'm not 100% sure that Fabre and D'Iberville metros stations are in the territory of the former city of Saint-Michel, I know St-Michel station is. For this time, I have reverted your edit but if you find informations about Fabre and D'Iberville not being part of the former city of Saint-Michel, feel free to remove them from the article. There is a possibility that those 2 stations are in the Villeray neighbourhood, not Saint-Michel.
If you go to the website and overlay the metro layer and the district layer you will see the 3 metro stations are in François-Perreault and not Saint-Michel
- Yes, but the article is about the neighbourhood (or former city) of Saint-Michel, not the Saint-Michel electoral district. François-Perreault is an electoral district, not a neighbourhood. The metros stations may no longer be part of the St-Michel electoral district but they are still part of the St-Michel neighbourhood (or at least St-Michel station is). I'll soon go to the library to check an old map to see if Fabre and Iberville stations are in the territory of the former city of Saint-Michel. Farine, August 10th 2007
Need Reference[edit]
"The 1990s saw Saint-Michel's reputation tarnished by its severe street gang problems and the negative propaganda surrounding the whole situation. In consequence, Saint-Michel was long viewed as one of Montreal's most dangerous inner city neighborhoods. Although these problems persist to this day, the phenomenon seems better controlled."
This needs clarification from sensationalism and some references please. Mars2mogwai (talk) 23:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Proposed page move[edit]
As per WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods, this article should be moved to Saint-Michel, Montreal. In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Merge article[edit]
I think the page Saint-Michel-de-Laval should be merged into this article since Saint-Michel de Laval corresponds exactly to what is today the St-Michel neighborhood. All the infos and categories on Saint-Michel-de-Laval can simply be added on this page. The Saint-Michel-de-Laval page does not offer anything that cannot be included in this article.
Keep in mind that, except for the Old Montreal section, all neighbourhoods in Montreal were once idependent cities at one timeline or another. Having seperate articles for the former city of St-Michel-de-Laval and the Saint-Michel neighborhood is like having seperate articles for the Verdun borough and the former city of Verdun. It's pretty much pointless.
Farine (talk) 02:26, 26 March 2008
- I think I agree, if we're talking about a situation where the borders of the borough and former city are exactly the same, i.e. not a situation like Roxboro, Quebec and Pierrefonds-Roxboro. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're bringing a good point about the border issue. I made a comparaison between a 1952 map of St-Michel-de-Laval and a 1997 map of the neighborhood St-Michel. Although many of the streets name changed from 1952 to 1997, the boundaries are 100% identical in the two maps. It is possible there might have been an evolution in the boundaries from the city's 1914 inception to 1952. But nevertheless, the boundaries in 1952 and 1997 are identical, meaning that when St-Michel was annexed in 1968, it logically had the same boundaries as in 1997. Proving that there is no notability for St-Michel-de-Laval to get it's own article. Farine (talk) 02:26, 26 March 2008
- It doesn't really matter if the boundaries are not precisely the same. Municipal boundaries do commonly evolve over the decades, given annexations and adjustments. However, as long as the articles generally cover the same place, merging them is fine (the article can refer to any boundary adjustments). Shawn's example is a good one -- because that's a different situation entirely, where Roxboro and Pierrefonds-Roxboro are completely different entities covering different areas. Skeezix1000 (talk) 11:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Support merge. I recently merged Saint-Laurent (borough) into Saint-Laurent, Quebec, two almost identical articles on the same place - there was no need for two articles, regardless of the transition from city to borough. The same logic would apply here. Skeezix1000 (talk) 23:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Just a note that the title of the merged article should be consistent with WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods. Skeezix1000 (talk) 11:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Great product! Excellent case
Be patient, *very* patient, when it comes to the rebate!
Other Thoughts:
First off, great case and product. I have built many systems with the 400r and 500r, and have been quite happy. My knock is on the company and/or rebate house, as they violate their terms and conditions on when you will get your rebate paid! Purchased this case as part of Newegg Black Friday sales, and no rebate check as of 3/4/14! Rebate form stated 8-10 weeks from submission date. Well, we are in March of the next year, and no check mailed. Shame on you Corsair!

Clijsters repeats as U.S. Open champion
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Belgium's Kim Clijsters won her second straight U.S. Open women's title on Saturday after crushing seventh-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva 6-2 6-1 in the most lopsided triumph in 34 years.
The second-seeded Clijsters hit 17 winners while making just 15 unforced errors against a nervous Zvonareva to match the three games lost by American Chris Evert in her 6-3 6-0 demolition of Australian Evonne Goolagong in 1976.
Clijsters, 27, extended her Flushing Meadows match-winning streak to 21 in a row, having also won the title in 2005 before missing a year due to injury and two more to start a family.
"It's been an incredible year, being back in the Open and for the first time I'm able to defend my title," Clijsters said at the trophy ceremony.
Last year her infant daughter Jada came on court to cavort around the shiny silver trophy after Clijsters struck a blow for working mothers everywhere with a grand slam victory in just her third tournament back from her hiatus.
Saturday, curly-haired Jada looked on from the stands, sucking a lollipop as her mom made quick work of Zvonareva.
Clijsters cruised through the first set in 27 minutes after twice breaking Zvonareva's serve. The Russian, appearing in her first final at Flushing Meadows, gifted Clijsters a break in the sixth game with a double fault and three unforced errors.
Then Clijsters wrapped up the set with a service break when Zvonareva slapped a backhand into the net. Continued...

Fixing the fail at Vodafone
How hard can it be for a telco to provide accurate usage information for customers? That's a question I've been asking myself for the past 3 1/2 years every time I try to check my usage balance on my You Choose plan.
One of my You Choose addons is Your Time 200. This offers my 200 minutes of calling to other Vodafone mobiles between 7pm and 7am weeknights, and all weekend. This addon differs from all other Your Time addons that include calls to any NZ number.
The description sounds clear enough. But that's where the problems start.
Lets say I want to check my remaining balance. A quick TXT with 777 with the word BAL tells me this
"Mthly N/W nat. vf-vf mins:126"
Hmm.. Where did the nat. come from? I was sure my minutes were only on net and didn't include national calls!
How about the 777 IVR? Maybe that's better?
You have.. "126 included included monthly nights and weekends national minutes".
Yip that's right, not only is the world included actually said twice but, but the national word has popped up again. What does that mean? Maybe the Vodafone website could help me. Lets log into the usage meter and check.
Landlines? That's a new word. Is that the same as national calls or different yet again?
What I can tell you from being a customer for many years is that the Talk 200 plan only includes calls to Vodafone mobiles. Calls to any other off net mobile or landline phone are charged at normal airtime rates.
After 3 1/2 years of observing this and numerous complaints to Vodafone about this about this I figured it's time to get this off my chest. I know how and why the the problem occurs - the balance system was poorly scoped and is unable to differentiate between the different Your Time addons. At the end of the day however I don't care that you have incompetent staff unable to properly scope and build systems. You are misrepresenting a product and if you can't be bothered in sorting this maybe you should actually start offering including calls to landlines in this plan so you're not confusing your customers?
How hard can it be? Honestly? I bet it's easier than fixing the continual problems with stalling PDP contexts on your 3G network (but that's a whole new post for a rainy day).

I can remember around two or three years ago Vodafone took their usage reporting facilities offline for a period of days, or stretching my memory perhaps it was even weeks, on the promise that they were rolling out new billing infrastructure. The high hopes that I had for that project were never actually realised.

Have a look at 2degrees for how to display usage effectively... C'mon Vodafone, it's obviously not that hard if the new kid on the block can get it right first time!
Comment by Linuxluver, on 26-Oct-2010 08:44
I suspect the "national" minutes thing is to remind us - or educate us - that we are lucky in NZ to have one per-minute calling rate to any other VF (or, different rate, non-VF) mobile in the whole country.
In US and Canada and many other places, your best rate is your "local" calling area...which can be quite small. If you have a cell phone in a place like London, Ontario, for example....you can call make 'local' calls in London itself (pop 500,000-ish), but once you get more than about 10km outside of the city, you're then making toll calls. Remember they also pay to *receive* calls (and txts)....and pay a toll rate for receiving calls outside their "local" area.
I'm broadly satisfied with Vodafone's reporting, though I definitely would appreciate being able found out how much data I have used once I'm over the quota. Last time I checked, they stop counting...and you only find out how much data you have used when you get your monthly statement.
Comment by jonb, on 28-Oct-2010 12:08
I recall from previous threads vodafone billing and usage is still on a mainframe type of setup, so they presumably get shafted by IBM anytime they want to make a change to it?

Meet Our Policy Director
Contact Tom: Tom Bigford
The American Fisheries Society (AFS) welcomed Tom Bigford as our Policy Director in 2014. Bigford was Chief of the Habitat Protection Division at the Office of Habitat Conservation at the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for 18 years. As Policy Director, Bigford works to develop and implement policies, set new priorities, select opportunities with public and private sector partnerships, and perform outreach.
"We are very excited to bring Tom on board in this new position," said AFS Executive Director Doug Austen. "Tom brings a wealth of federal experience in Washington and in the regions. His policy and partnership development work, coupled with his long history of AFS involvement, will help our Resource Policy Committee and our other initiatives."
At the Office of Habitat Conservation, Bigford directed programs related to wetlands, watersheds, fishery management, and special areas such as corals. Previously, he worked at the NOAA Office of Policy and Planning, NMFS Northeast and Northwest Regions, National Ocean Service (NOS) Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, and the NOAA General Counsel for Natural Resources. Bigford is also a docent at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Ocean Hall, a member of the Board of Directors of The Coastal Society, and president-elect of the AFS Fish Habitat Section.
"This position offers a great opportunity to expand beyond habitat and into the broader realm of anything related to fish," Bigford said. "There are already a number of potential projects on my plate, so my first task is to prioritize those that build AFS relationships with members and partners. I expect to work extensively with the public and private sectors to develop and implement policies to benefit fish. Input from the fisheries community on needs, priorities, problems, etc. would be much valued. I can't wait to start!"
As an added bonus, Bigford is also the president of the Coastal Society and pulls both societies together in a working partnership.

Testing Your Critiquing Skills: Site Navigation
September 2008
90 minutes
- Give great critique and encourage the designer to be receptive and engaged in the discussion, instead of being defensive and argumentative
- Use critique to encourage designers to become introspective and revisit underlying precepts of their design
- Encourage other team members to use critique to look at other on-going work
- Topics:
Opinions are cheap but insights are priceless. When looking over someone else's design, how do you ensure you're delivering valuable insights that bring new perspectives to the table?
The best critiques not only deliver value to the original designer, but to everyone involved, because it raises the discourse to the underlying fundamentals and goals, not just the specifics of color and font size. Learning to critique well is like many other skills: the more you practice, the better you get.
Give great critique and encourage the designer to be receptive and engaged in the discussion, instead of being defensive and argumentative
Use critique to encourage designers to become introspective and revisit underlying precepts of their design
Encourage other team members to use critique to look at other on-going work
We're going to focus this session on Site Navigation. We'll look at some interesting solutions and talk about what the designers have done well and where we might expect their users to run into issues. We'll see how these designs tackle some of the big challenges that many designers face when building large, complex web sites. We'll even look at other sites that have possibly solved the problems in other ways.
In this UIE Virtual Seminar, you'll get a chance to test out your critique skills. We've solicited four web sites from members of our audience, and have asked those teams a series of questions about their designs. To help you prepare, we've created the following preview of the event.
In the preview, I share the four sites we'll look at in the seminar. Watch the seminar and pick the sites you want to critique. (You'll want to plan to spend between 15 to 30 minutes exploring each site, then another 15 minutes writing up your thoughts on them. So, if you only have 45 minutes, just pick one site. If you can spare more time, choose accordingly.)
The four sites we'll look at are:
Management Sciences for Health
The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
Home Shopping Network
In the preview, I explain what we'll be critiquing on each site. Doing your own critique is optional, but it's the best way to get the most out of the seminar. If you're watching the seminar with your colleagues, there are two approaches: you could each critique a different site, so that you get coverage. Or you can each critique the same site and compare amongst yourselves.
Join us for this fun, interactive session where you and your colleagues will get a chance to test your skills and learn new techniques for providing insightful, constructive feedback.

Jared Spool took UX to a new level in 1988 when he launched UIE. And by, "to a new level," we mean "validated UX as a vital component of our work, then spent the next 25 years conducting research and writing tirelessly to keep validating it."
Fortunately, for users everywhere, his continued efforts are still paying off.
Jared often can be found onstage, where he captivates crowds with stunning data that reveal how UX can affect a company's bottom line. He's helped thousands of companies worldwide to increase their profits, identify interaction failures, and integrate UX research and design into their product development cycles.
Reaching designers is a priority, too—aside from these virtual seminars, Jared and the UIE team organize annual conferences chock full of hands-on, practical workshops led by the best industry minds around.
One last thing: Jared is a masterful storyteller with a seemingly endless supply of energy and practical advice, too. He rarely takes the spotlight for our virtual seminars, so this will sell out fast—snag your spot now.

Reunited Michael Jackson family performs together after 2 decades
The show's tickets were sold out in five hours. Ticket prices were pop's most expensive ever; the best seats cost $5,000 and included a dinner with Michael Jackson and a signed poster. Jackson reportedly earned $7.5 million for each of the two concerts, which is over $150,000 per minute.
Popular pop acts of the day were by Destiny's Child, N*Sync, Usher, Myra, Whitney Houston and Shaggy graced the stage to perform some of their own hits along with some of Michael's. The biggest highlight of the show was young Billy Gilman performing Jackson's 1972 #1 US hit 'Ben'. Among other performers and guests were Liza Minnelli singing 'You Are Not Alone'; James Ingram with Gloria Estefan singing Jackson's 1987 ballad, 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You'. Marc Anthony also sang 'She's out of My Life'.
Playing to a sold-out audience, Destiny's Child also performed 'Bootylicious' and Shaggy performed 'It Wasn't Me' - two chart hits personally requested by Michael Jackson himself.
The second hour of the show is by far the best remembered, featuring the exciting reunion of Michael and his brothers Jermaine, Jackie, Randy, Marlon and Tito for a 'greatest hits' medley. As Michael glided and danced his way across the floor, the crowd roared all the louder in appreciation. Immediately afterward, Slash was properly introduced for a rendition of 'Black or White'.
While this two-hour special was to also prepare the world for the release of Michael's album 'Invincible', it also showcased the talents of the original Jackson 5 line-up as they performed such hits as 'ABC' and 'I Want You Back'. Perhaps the biggest roar in the audience went up when Michael performed his famous dance moves in his solo acts.
The concert closed out with Michael performing his latest hit from 'Invincible', 'You Rock My World' with Chris Tucker providing a few un-choreographed dance moves for laughs. Other highlights of the night would include the 'unification' of three former child stars of separate generations, Michael, Elizabeth Taylor and Macauley Culkin who sat together in the audience while enjoying the concert.
This spectacular concert showcased both Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, and was widely received by his fans and critics alike with lots of praise and admiration for the man who gave us such timeless hits as 'Thriller', 'Beat It' and 'Bad'.

Dodge 360 dip stick-POS set up
Anybody know of a better set up than the original old 360 dip stick set up. Is there a bolt down type? Currently the factory tube just wedges in the block with no brace at the top and with a big cam, the thing rattles its way around and leaks. Silicone doesn't last long either, it needs a bolt! Guess I could weld something on and re powder coat it...

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

How to Take Care of X-ray Machines
Some of the most important machines to hospitals are x-ray machines. They enable the medical practitioners to have a view of the inner parts of the patients. Body parts of patients with defects are able to be identified. This makes it possible for them to control various conditions before they worsen. They can as well suggest the right form of treatment for their patients. They are the most common type of equipment used for modern treatment. There are however some precautions that people have to follow when handling these equipment.
There are x-ray machines which can easily be moved around while others stay fixed at a place. The switch contacts should be cleaned regularly as a security x ray machine maintenance practice. People should do this weekly. There can be accumulation of dust and dirt on them after some time. This might hinder their functioning. Handling these machines requires people with expertise. This will prevent them from causing damage.
The number of checkups to be carried out by these x-rays should also be stated. This will ensure that the machine is not over worked. It also ensures that there are the right people handling the machine at various times. Those handling them will be more responsible as a result. It is also important to carry out regular checkups on how the machines function. Worsening of the problems with the machines is prevented as they are detected early.
The right vendors should be consulted when purchasing these machines from xrayimagingusa.com. This ensures that they get original and quality machines. They should also be willing to regularly examine the machines to ensure that they are functioning well. They should also offer training to the buyers on how to effectively handle the machines. The working life of these machines is also prolonged.
People should ensure that these machines are always enclosed in a room. This is due to the types of rays emitted from them. Those outside are therefore protected from the rays. Protective clothing should always be worn by people handling these machines. It is also important for them to monitor movement of people into and out of the room. This will prevent entry of unauthorized people who can result to damage of the equipment. X-rays should only be performed on people if they are referred by their doctors.
There should always be appropriate care carried out on these machines. There will not be regular replacement required from them. These machines can at times be very expensive. It can be hard to purchase them. Carrying out proper care on these machines will prevent this. These machines are necessary to ensure good healths of individuals. It should be up to every hospital to ensure that they have these equipment. A lot of advantages have been derived from these equipment.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I own a premium domain name and vanity 800 number that businesses would be very interested in controlling in their marketing area. I looked at a leasing scenario, but businesses I spoke with do not like being at the mercy of a leasor because they will be investing a considerable amount of money promoting the leased number and domain as their own within their territory. A Franchise approach is costly to start-up and maintain.
So what if I modified our existing LLC to accommodate a special class of members who...
- owns a piece of the company
- could vote on issues that effect their use of the IP
- pay a monthly fee to the LLC
- could sell their interest to another Member or approved third party who becomes a Member
- would not be entitled to LLC profits
OR Is a trust a better way to go?I understand the issue fiduciary duty Charles mentioned below. How to best accomplish/satisfy this issue is why I mentioned a Trust in my original question. Any ideas are welcomed. What about security Laws... I'm guessing charging members a monthly fee creates an issue(i.e., what happens if they stop paying). Maybe a better way is to set it up as a contribution verse a fee that can be paid over time. but this approach has an end(fulfillment) date and so a fee would eventually have to take it's place to cover expenses to insure fiduciary duty is maintained. What about the condition that these special interest Members are not entitled to any LLC Profits? Does this present a problem? I appreciate any help with any of these questions as I want to be prepared to ask the right questions and choose the right attorney.
You need to be careful with this idea. I see potential securities laws and fiduciary duty problems lurking here.
Structuring this with a good business lawyer is essential.Ask a similar question
Yeah, I was thinking this is out of the norm and as Michael Said I want to do this right. Can you expand at all on your response. Iwill need to work with a lawyer on this I just want to understand where the problems exist.
Your interests in the LLC may be considered securities. Any sale of a security must be registered or fall within a registration of exemption. You may qualify for this, and you may not. In addition, you are going to be the manager. As such, you have fiduciary duties of loyalty to your owners -- and there is an inherent tension between you and the two classes of investors (where one pays a fee, and the other does not). Any decent business lawyer can expand on this.
Thanks Charles for your input, It has put me on a course to find the right attorney. Too bad you are not in Tampa.
A Limited Liability Company ('LLC') makes sense in your situation. The facts you present warrant working with a sophisticated Business Law attorney to make sure you get it right (legally and financially) the first time. See Avvo.com under Find-A-Lawyer. Good Luck on your Business!!Ask a similar question
Thanks Michael
I agree with my colleagues on this, yes it can be done and even yes it can be profitable. You can do a similar thing with trade names and telephone numbers. I know of someone who is doing this very successfully with residential plumbers.
Before you do this, though, you need to hire a local lawyer who practices in business and franchising to give you guideance and get it done right the first time. Do it incorrectly and you will be paying for years.
For the older ones of us here, it is like the old Fram Oil Filter commercial, "you can pay me now or you can pay me (much more) later." As Michael suggest, check Avvo for a good reference.
Good luckAsk a similar question

Well, Kitty,
I am sorry you could not make it to the symposium outside Indianapolis.
Always another time. Have your written or emailed, called anyone with your
complaint? Hope that you have voiced yours, for no one knows if you do not
say. As it turns out the early start time was not a bad ideal. The symposium
ran late. Everyone asked so many questions after each speaker we ran over
quite a bit. We stopped for dinner on the way home and arrived at our front
door around 8:00. Made a verrrry long day if you were one of the speakers.
They do have a symposium every year, so jump in there and make some

The Draft Right to Information Bill (RTI) which was supposed to have been submitted to Cabinet yesterday (7) was not done so as the draft was still with the Attorney General's Department, it was revealed today.
Replying to a question posed at the weekly Cabinet press briefing today, Joint Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Gayantha Karunatileka said while he had told the media two weeks ago that he hoped to present the draft bill to the Cabinet meeting on October 7, he could not do so as the bill was still to be approved by the Attorney General's Department. The draft had been sent to the AG's Department on October 5.
Minister Karunatileka said he hoped to present the draft bill to Cabinet at next week's Cabinet meeting. Thereafter, the bill will be gazetted and after a period of two weeks, it can be presented to Parliament, he elaborated. "Everything is ready with the final draft. However, we cannot give a specific date at present on when the bill will be presented as it has to be decided by the party leaders. They will have to take into account the agenda on the budget debate as well before deciding on a date," he added.

For admins, the work never ends. Administrative professionals fill key office management functions every day – tasks that go unnoticed (until they're not done).
Admins are the unsung heroes of the workplace – the glue that holds an office together. Every week should be Administrative Professionals Week!
As Administrative Professionals Day arrives on April 21, it's an ideal time to reflect on your ever-evolving role—and to shine a spotlight on your myriad contributions to the workplace. You may think everyone knows that you're a huge contributor, but it's possible they don't. That's why you need to brag a little—in the right way.
A few of the top web sites for administrative professionals, according to Monster.com: CEO Express, Refdesk, Microsoft Clip Art, USPS, BrainyBetty and XE.com.
Does it matter if we misspell words or use abbreviations in email messages? Opinions are mixed. Everyone, however, agrees that when you're working on written correspondence or an important document, it has to be flawless. Can you spot the grammar and writing errors in the sentences?
When your job is to keep things from falling through the cracks, a good time-management system can serve as a tightly woven net. Sue Shellenbarger, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, recently took the most widely used systems for a test drive, trying each one for a week. Here's what she learned:
Usually Google gets all the attention for its latest, online tools. But recently, Microsoft grabbed the headlines for adding zippy new features to Internet Explorer. Here are four IE (version 8) features to save you time:
An administrative assistant recently posted this dilemma on our Admin Pro Forum: "I know my office co-worker chats on Facebook most of the day ... and now I have proof. Do I say something to the co-worker, or do I bring it up to the boss? I am usually not a tattletale, but there are times when I am overwhelmed with work and I know she's chatting on Facebook and not getting her work done." Forum readers weighed in with advice:
Fortunately, most admins have strong partnerships with their managers or see ways to build that bond. But some admins are still struggling through their relationships with lousy bosses. Is the solution to quit? Not with unemployment rates above 10%. Here's another option: Negotiate with your boss, the way the FBI negotiates during a hostage situation.

Scotland is beautiful!
... by that. I remember just being a bit in awe and in shock, like how in the world did we ever find ourselves here?? Such a shocking difference from sleeping somewhere under a tarp with cold, canned, BBQ beans for supper. We had a lovely evening watching the sun go down on the most phenomenal view... I have tried many times to explain how gorgeous this view was, but every time I simply run out of words. It was the ocean water, in a loch, a lovely blueish color, punctuated ...
We Be Drammin'
... corner of Scotland.
Although we vistited multiple distillery sites today (more on those fanatastic experiences later), it seemed most fitting to start with one of the two kings of Speyside, The Glenlivet. If Glenfiddich is the largest selling single malt in the world, The Glenlivet claims the crown in the US. The fact that The Glenlivet sells so much whisky and is available in corner stores the world over should not, however, disqualify it ...
The Woman on the Platform
... train ticket…doesn't remember if she actually has one, doesn't remember how she got to the station; doesn't actually know what day it is, she thinks it's September.
Eventually, we discover that she was assaulted three weeks before, had reported it to the police, had fallen and hit her head that same day and, after ten minutes of sifting through disjointed memories, she remembered that she lived in Kirkvale, Nairn. ...
... to the place one uneventful morning in June, as a small coffee haven serving Bologna's most creative cappuccinos by far (see pictures attached) and often, in my case, accompanied by a bold, heart-attack-inducing pastry. Therein lay the problem. It's always the bloody pastry.
As I simmered indecisively by the counter, little did I know that a short, very curly-haired Italian with a wide grin hidden in bumfluff was lurking observantly nearby.
A beautiful day in Rosemarkie
... High Road towards the entrance of the Moray Firth at Inverness. The last picture is the lower street where we are staying.

What will it take to succeed in a services economy? What is the role of a services company in helping organizations navigate the digital revolution and the paradigm shift toward services? This article answers these and more.
Ravi Kumar S., President, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Infosys Limited
Download article Subscribe
The digital revolution is sweeping across industries. While traditional focus areas such as customer experience, supply chain, and knowledge management are undergoing rapid transformation; new entrants are disrupting traditional business models by leveraging technology in unexampled ways, enabling them to manufacture cars and watches and invent new kinds of transportation, hospitality, banking, and more. The rules of the game are becoming dynamic with economic value being created through enhanced and unprecedented services that are based on the tenets of sharing and subscription, rather than of ownership. This shift towards a services economy calls for a mindset that understands multichannel relationships, customer behavior, and the value of scalable technology platforms, often the pivots for most of the new business models.
All things around us — products, solutions, and even technologies themselves — are becoming services. For instance, the autonomous car of the future will serve as your personal concierge and emergency assistant, as well as provide rich data to your car manufacturer and your auto insurer, who in turn will provide more personalized and improved services.
Traditionally, we tend to think of many products, solutions, and technologies as static, frozen in time and space. But these are constantly activated, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) and a host of developments such as rapidly shrinking hardware sizes and an exponential rise in computing power. Things that we previously thought of as products — software packages, airplane engines, printers, and so many other complex machines — are now becoming available as services.
An important catalyst that is spurring this change of increasing 'servicification' are the millennials. They believe in spending on experiences, not on owning things — experiences driven by hyper-personalization, intuitiveness, and purpose. So, while they are happy to use public transport, they are satisfied with nothing short of a seamless experience while on route, of say ordering dinner — in terms of the restaurant and cuisine options, the speed of the app and quality of its content, and even how impeccably the food is prepared and it is delivered on time when they reach home. The question is: Who can take the responsibility of ensuring a great experience for this consumer?
Here lies a grand opportunity for a company with a strong digital backbone to bring together other players, as collaborators, and serve up a superlative experience to millennial sensibilities.
As enterprises ponder their future in these times of being digital, there is a dual burden on them — one of managing costs and the other of innovating. We believe there is a way to navigate this duality successfully. Design Thinking, with its tenets of desirability, feasibility, and viability; offers a useful approach. If you think about it, all the transformation happening around us is about empowering the end user. Whether you consider Uber, Airbnb, or any other digital experiences and services powering our lives, it's all about being more relevant and desirable to the end user. Today, there is also an extreme scale of cost performance that has become available in the computing infrastructure with the emergence of increasingly intelligent and automated systems that can execute more and more sophisticated tasks. So, technically, it is feasible to realize all that we can imagine. From an economic viability perspective, the distance between producers and consumers has disappeared with digital disintermediation. The middle layers and all their complexities have dissolved. This can drive down costs significantly as well as enhance experiences.
With this as the context, it is clear that the opportunity presented by the physical world turning into bits is a truly exciting one. This has deep implications for enterprises: One, to meaningfully and exponentially optimize and improve the way they work, and thereby be able to fund the second priority — to disrupt, become more relevant, and grow by bringing in new consumer experiences through the creation of digital experiences where there were otherwise only the physical, and work to digitize physical things so that they can pack in greater value as services.
Today, given the staggering digital transformation of our world, the traditional services industry in which companies like ours compete to do the same work cheaper but with world-class quality, must also transform. A services company must be more, and we as individuals and as a team, must also be more — to deliver value and innovation.
Arthur Koestler in his 1964 book 'The Act of Creation' said, "The essence of creativity lies in two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference – the incremental improvement plane, and the paradigm shift plane."
The digital transformation of companies, which calls for creativity (imagination), expresses itself across these two dimensions. The first is the renewal of existing landscapes (incremental improvement plane) through transformation of legacy mainframe systems, cloud and mobile enablement, integration of sensors, simplification of the landscape to modern infrastructure, renewal of processes and operations, and the like. The other priority is to build new (the paradigm shift plane) kinds of applications and systems and explore new business models that are necessary for the times we live and work in. IT services companies must especially help businesses simultaneously pursue this duality of renew and new.
The third and pivotal aspect of this Renew-New approach is a culture of learning, creativity, and purpose. The magnitude of the change impacting us is so enormous that our minds cannot entirely comprehend them. So, a foundation of lifelong learning, which involves unlearning many ways in which we did things in the past, becomes supremely important. In fact, lifelong learning will determine if you are being disrupted or if you are weathering disruption. Such learning requires us to unfetter the uniquely human qualities of imagination and curiosity, which no machine, no matter how advanced, can substitute. As technologies enable automation and take over menial, repetitive tasks in order to deliver them with enhanced efficiency and speed, people are freed to accomplish higher value and more purposeful work — whether it is to achieve an organization's business goals or collaborate with others to solve the bigger problems facing humanity, such as hunger, disease, or inequitable access to power and education1.
At Infosys, we have embarked on this journey of Renew-New. In the words of our CEO, Dr. Vishal Sikka, "A company of our size and scale could easily set up a lab somewhere in some exotic place in the world where there are innovators. But the main point of being innovative — of becoming a company that helps businesses evolve in this time of tremendous digital disruption — is not to have a small lab somewhere and say that our innovators are there, but to have everyone in the company be an innovator; and that is what we are after."
We want to deliver services that equip our clients to take advantage of the best opportunities of our times, especially in areas such as automation and artificial intelligence. Whether it is capturing the know-how of retiring engineers in knowledge-based AI systems to facilitate smart maintenance through generations of making, building sensor-enabled connected automobiles that 'care' about driving safety, renewing legacy landscapes with knowledge-based automation, or enabling predictive maintenance of mission-critical equipment, we want to be able to create a new future. A future where businesses can harness intelligent and open platforms, software, and services to innovate and realize the true potential of digital transformations.
