Violet: Ouch.
I stand in the background, trying to see over everybodies heads. There is no point.
Why is she always the center of attention? She gets a boy, and everything else?
I sigh; trying to keep my emotions blank. Didn't need another one of those. I remember back to yesterday. All of a sudden, I hear loud gasping - by the sounds of it trying to catch breath. I round the corner and run into Kayden's room. She is laying on a white bed. I run to her side. Pain smacks into me, nearly stopping my breathing. Ouch. This must be really hurting her. I zone it out, and she needs this as strong as it gets; I realise this has been happening a lot lately.
"Numb." The pain still fills her, as I could feel it. I squeeze my eyes tight. "Numb!" I shout, an octave higher. I feel the pain beginning to ease. I hold my cold hand to her forehead, quietly shushing her.
"Violet?" Her smooth eyelids flutter open; her long, black lashes fringing her stunning eyes.
"Shh. It's okay. I'm here."
"But, I'm so.. So.. So weak!" She stutters.
"Strong."Colour fills her skin again, a smile lifting the corners of her mouth upwards.
"Thank you!" She jumps out of the bed, hugging me. I hug her back. Finally; I have done something useful.

They soon dismounted, and Pine led the animals as Tora went about the actual business part of things. Pine was simply content being away from the estate, and the sights and smells were enough to occupy his thoughts. It'd been two hours since they left home when something latched onto Pine's shoulder. He turned quickly to see Duran, shouldering an open pack filled with vegetables. His face was kindly as always, though there was a strained quality to it.
"I thought you were in trouble with your mother. Have you run away from home?" Duran murmured, wearing a devilish grin.
Tora came forth, shaking her head with a smile, "I've kidnapped him."
"Ah, dearest, I didn't see you there," Duran lowered his head to her.
"Mother wanted us to gather some things for her."
"Yes. The city watch decided to throw him a party…and as it seems, your mother was volunteered to host," Duran spoke with resignation. It was obviously more trouble to him than he thought it was worth. "She's quite panicked over the whole affair. It's but a few nights from now."
Pine cocked his head, "party for my father?"
"Yes, dear," Tora spoke, "His twentieth anniversary being chair of the City Watch."
"He never said anything tome," Pine frowned.
"I don't believe he remembered himself, dear. It's all for the Watch. Besides, I'm sure he wouldn't really wish for such pleasantries. But of course, for others it's quite the deal…your mother included. We simply cannot refuse to have it," Tora told him, turning towards the nearest vendor and looking about his wares.
"How much longer are you at market?" Duran asked.
Tora looked at her sheet of paper, "not much. Perhaps a few more linens, and then I must talk to a furniture lender to accommodate the number of guests."
"How many did they say?"
"Eight gross," Tora told him flatly.
Duran sputtered, and then rubbed absently at the fur beneath his chops, "and all of the head captains."
"Could be more if they decide to bring their families, those are simply the invitees. Regardless, we must prepare accordingly, and she's sent all the servants out to gather things. Poor Master Demasa, he'll hear no end to our lady's complaints on the matter."
"And still he won't call it off," Duran nodded.
Pine wandered a short way from them as they continued fretting over the forced gala. His eyes wandered from trinket to trinket, and at some point he even saw an exotic arms merchant. He stared at the blades with longing, dreaming for the days when he could spar with something more than a stick. Tora was soon along to push him to their next destination, but the thought of arms stuck with him. Duran had left for home, it seemed, and so again he and she wandered back into the fray.

An airborne radar was used to detect insets dispersing from an area of about 200 000 hectares of maize infested with Heliothis zea (Boddie) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), in the lower Rio Grande River Valley (LRGRV) of northeast Mexico. During the night of 20 June 1989, a ground-based radar, located at the downwind edge of the maize production area, detected early evening take-off and departure of flying insects. Simultaneously, an airborne radar detected low numbers of airborne insects 50 km downwind. Large numbers of flying insects were detected 200-700 m above ground as the aircraft approached the source. The edge of the emigrating cloud of insects was clearly marked by a rapid change in numbers of airborne insects; the cloud was subsequently intercepted at various locations downwind of the source area. The downwind edge of the insect cloud appeared to travel northward at least 400 km in 7.7 h. Maximum H. zea moth emergence occurred on 18 June from maize in the LRGRV. Three days later, maximum oviposition occurred in cotton near Uvalde, 370 km from the LRGRV and downwind on the night of the mass migration observed.

The Best Ways to Share Inspiration
Great speakers are memorable because they find ways to drive home key messages through stories that resonate with us all. Hopefully, you've attended a conference with speakers who motivated, encouraged, and inspired you either personally or professionally. But what do you do after the event? How can you share that excitement and implement the challenges set forth when you return to work?
This week, LeanLogistics hosted ClientConnect '16 at the Loews Hotel in downtown Chicago. The two-day seminar provided motivational speakers, discussions with supply chain experts, technology work sessions, and good ole' fashion networking with shippers, carriers, software users, and analysts.
What the Speakers Shared
Josh Linkner: Josh Linkner, a very successful entrepreneur and the founder of e-Prize, shared five tips to innovative thinking. He encouraged attendees to think about ways to defy tradition. Forward thinking involves evaluating status quo and seeking out new ways to accomplish the same task…faster, smarter, and with greater results.
Dr. Larry Burns: Larry Burns advises organizations on the future of mobility, logistics, manufacturing, energy, and innovation. He is currently assisting engineers at Google as they work through the challenges of a driverless car. One of his key takeaways was to dedicate a lot of time to deeply understand a problem before you try to find the solution.
Seth Mattison: When it comes to predicting workforce trends Seth Mattison is the expert. He helps executives understand communication barriers that can develop between generations—and how to overcome them. He believes flexibility is the key to bridging the communication gap, and he encouraged everyone to follow the three Cs: courage to embrace change, curiosity about what's new, and commitment to building a better workforce.
All three speakers made a significant impact on attendees at ClientConnect '16. We've already received fantastic feedback from clients including this response: "This was my 1st conference and I learned so much from these 2 days. I can't wait to go back to my office and share this information."
The Best Ways to Share Inspiration at Work
So what are the best ways to keep the momentum from a great conference moving forward when you return to work? Here are a few tips to share inspiration with coworkers.
- Write a company blog post — Share your experience by writing a fun blog post about it on your company's intranet. Be sure to include tips, pictures, and if possible, the speaker's slide deck.
- Host a Lunch and Learn — Schedule a room around the lunch hour to share a short presentation about what you learned. Save time for a Q and A session.
- Set up an Inspiration Wall — Find a centrally located wall in the office where everyone can share their favorite inspirational quotes.
- Company Challenge — Host a company-wide challenge. Pick one challenge from a seminar speaker you heard from and share it with the whole company. Set a deadline for everyone to report back on their progress or success.
We hope everyone who attended ClientConnect '16 left inspired, full of new knowledge, and ready to tackle all of their transportation hurdles with vigor. Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to igniting inspiration again next year.
Five Tips to Network Like a Pro at ClientConnect
In this day and age, technology makes us feel more connected, but the type of connections you build over social media are not the same as talking to someone face to face. That's why I am excited about LeanLogistics' ClientConnect in Chicago in just two weeks. I know I will get to talk to my customers on a personal level and have the opportunity to hear them explain what is going on in their business and how I might be able to find solutions to problems they are facing.
Building a strong network is so vital in the supply chain industry where change is a constant. An issue your company is facing may have already been tackled by an industry peer and your professional connections could help bring about a solution faster. ClientConnect provides the opportunity to network with our operational experts as well as other customers.
All networking events are designed to be fun, but it's also helpful if you have a game plan in mind to get the maximum benefit out of your time at the event.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind to network like a pro.
- Review the Attendance List — Look over the attendance list to see who will be at the event and create a list of three people you want to strike up a conversation with. Identify people who are not in your normal network or industry.
- Prepare Questions — Have a few general questions in mind you can ask someone new to keep the conversation moving forward. Example: How long have you been a client of LeanLogistics?
- Move Around the Room — While it can be fun to reconnect with people you already know, make sure you are moving around the room. Introduce yourself to someone new and share your business card.
- Get Social — Join the conversations online during the event. Follow the hashtag and share your thoughts on the information presented by the keynote speakers.
- Follow Up — Send a quick follow up note to help build the connection. Example: It was great meeting you at ClientConnect. Let's stay in touch.
You can easily follow all of these tips with the help of the ClientConnect '16 app. It's already available for download and has the attendance list, agenda, and networking opportunities right at your fingertips.
It also contains information on all the labs we are offering during the event. You can review the description, see who is leading the discussion, and add it to your calendar. The labs provide a hands-on approach on how to utilize and implement pertinent functionality or a process which will have an effect on improving cost or service to your business.
I am psyched for ClientConnect and I hope you are too. It is a huge benefit to our customers and provides a fun arena to grow your professional network—just one more way we are building better supply chains together.
Fleet Whiteboards, Spreadsheets, and Paper…Oh My!
When visiting the LeanLogistics headquarters you'll see whiteboards everywhere—we use them for brainstorming, strategy sessions, and project updates. Whiteboards are useful for a variety of purposes, but not an effective tool for managing a fleet. One of our goals during the development of LeanFleet was to give transportation managers the opportunity to replace their whiteboards with consoles.
Managing the planning and execution of a private fleet at a high level requires access to near real-time data regarding the positioning of assets and the availability of resources. During the development phase of LeanFleet, we made several on-site customer visits to observe their daily workflow. We noticed manual processes causing limited visibility to the supply chain.
Whiteboards —Some transportation teams used whiteboards to assist in tracking driver and asset locations for pick up, delivery, and backhaul.
Spreadsheets — Manual processes were in place to keep track of driver assignments, days off, and driver and asset availability.
Paper Information — Drivers were handed paper information with their load and stop details.
Manual entry accounts for an immense amount of time and labor and enhances the opportunity for human error. LeanFleet erases the need for a whiteboard by providing real-time information about fleet assets electronically, including a function that automates the selection of drivers based on a variety of factors including proximity, hours of service, and calendar events. Once the information is in LeanTMS, it can be retrieved at any time from any location providing visibility outside of the office. We also saw an opportunity to allow companies to leverage their telematics investment to send dispatch information directly to the driver's truck.
One Platform, Single Workflow
Some of our customers were experiencing a different set of obstacles as they tried to maintain a blended transportation strategy. Shippers using fleet assets as well as common carriers had to navigate through several different systems for everything from planning to settlement. Now, they can handle all planning and execution on one platform in a single workflow.
We have stayed in close contact with our customers who allowed us to observe their workflows as we developed LeanFleet. They were involved in reviewing prototypes and beta testing that provided valuable feedback that we incorporated into the product along the way.
Planners are excited about the visibility that will allow for better management of their fleet resources. Dispatchers enjoy the opportunity to eliminate spreadsheets and communicate directly with drivers via messaging. Drivers have responded well to having their assignment information relayed directly to the telematics system in their truck. Managers have experienced the value of having one system when reviewing reports and analytics to find ways to save money in their supply chain.
What's your workflow say about your transportation strategy? Do you have a bottleneck we can help straighten out? Our developers love a challenge. Let us know how we can partner with you to build a better supply chain together.
In Sales You Love to Hear Feedback…
When you work in sales you always ask for feedback from clients. You want to know what customers are thinking and challenged with, and then make adjustments to meet their needs. Thirteen years ago, I started working at LeanLogistics as an implementation manager. I was impressed the company offered a free networking event for all clients called ClientConnect. I invited all of my customers to my first ClientConnect at the Haworth Center in Holland, Michigan. When the night was over, I felt it was a huge success. Later that month, I reached out to my clients to see what they thought. They all agreed the event was extremely valuable and they appreciated the opportunities it provided. But there was a running theme to their feedback for future ClientConnects: Don't ever hold it in the middle of January in Holland, Michigan, again. (I guess not everyone appreciates a beautiful Michigan winter.)
True to form we listened to that feedback and adjusted our timing of ClientConnect. And over the years, we have moved it to different cities ranging from Chicago, Illinois, to Atlanta, Georgia. What's been exciting to watch is how ClientConnect has grown through the years. The venue spaces are larger and larger as the number of clients taking part continues to expand. This evolution hit me a few years ago when I realized I no longer knew everyone in the room. The days of ClientConnect serving as an opportunity for me to catch up with clients had changed. Now it was a chance to meet new customers brought in by different sales managers, to talk to them about LeanLogistics, and to find how our software solutions are working in their favor.
When new clients ask about ClientConnect I always tell them it's a wonderful opportunity to get to know people who are in the supply chain industry, regardless of what vertical they work in. A logistics coordinator in retail could strike up a conversation with a food & beverage executive, or a transportation manager in a Fortune 500 company could break bread with an analyst from a family-owned business. We encourage everyone to let their guard down, enjoy the discussion, the networking, and learn something new.
All of the feedback I've heard through the years is that everyone loves ClientConnect. We value our customers. The customer comes first and ClientConnect is one way we give back. We want each customer to know we are dedicated to building better supply chains together.
Maximize your TMS Investment with Excellent Customer Support
Deciding to buy a transportation management system (TMS) is a big decision and there are a lot of factors to consider. One area of consideration that, at times, can be overlooked is the type of customer support the company will provide after implementation. This is an important question because it can impact the ability to maximize a TMS investment.
At LeanLogistics, our customer's satisfaction is a top priority. We are committed to ensuring all customers receive outstanding support from the moment they decide to purchase our software solution. LeanLogistics wins Stevie Award for Customer Service. Not every TMS provider has a customer support team, so make sure you ask a lot of direct questions about the company's support program.
Building the Partnership
As a customer begins the initial process of utilizing new software, there is a period of time spent ramping up on system knowledge and working through day-to-day operations. But the real value of a software partner can be found in the days and weeks after the learning phase. Whether that hits two months or 12 months after you go-live, your software partner should be ready to start exposing other areas of value to increase your ROI.
When it comes to driving value out of the partnership there are two types of support: tactical and strategic. The combination will ensure you are covering basic blocking and tackling while also establishing a vision for the future.
Here are Some Common Tactical Support Questions
- What new functionality do I need assistance setting up?
- What problems arise in the daily process that could be avoided by implementing a new piece of the technology or modifying my current setup?
- Why isn't my current setup working the way I expected?
These questions are addressed by the tactical relationship the provider has with their customer and drives the business forward daily. Troubleshooting and problem solving is the responsibility of the customer support team. When evaluating a company's customer support program ask about these common standards of support.
- Ease of requesting help
- Team members professionalism
- Seamless escalation of incidents
- Single point of contact through resolution
- Self-service materials for basic functions
In addition to the five standards listed above, our team also feeds key data back to the organization to allow for a more robust customer engagement strategy.
Strategic Questions to Consider
- What business changes are coming up in the organization that could be addressed by the partner's technology or services?
- What are we not taking advantage of today that would be of interest?
- How could we change business process to better align?
- How are my other customers handling similar issues?
Relationships managers are key to the ongoing and long-term vision of the partnership. They open the conversation to understand your current and future business needs. As your advocate, the relationship manager will act as your voice internally to give your perspective on future development. This person should also act as a "priority manager", someone who ensures you are implementing and seeing results from your recent projects.
What's Your Communication Rhythm?
Remember, this is a partnership and you want to have a communication rhythm to keep everyone on the same page. Set a frequency of contact with your software partner. Tactical contact engages almost daily, but could also benefit from a monthly review of outstanding items. From the strategic perspective, some companies want to meet quarterly, while others only need to set a vision twice a year. Establishing those communication guidelines will lead to continued success to maximize your investment.
How to control transportation costs in the aquaculture industry
Norway is the world's second largest seafood exporter and the equivalent of 37 million seafood meals produced by Norway is consumed worldwide each day. In 2015, Norway exported NOK 74.5 billion (€7.86 billion) worth of seafood – 8% more than in 2014. 67% of exports go to the EU.
The unpredictability of harvesting live fish puts great pressure on the supply chain. Knowing customer demand but not completely knowing supply volume creates uncertainty as to whether the demand can be satisfied. And this leads to unknown transportation volumes.
This, together with short lead times to reach customer sites, can result in the shipper either having a surplus or shortage of transportation capacity which then leads to increased costs as the real capacity is determined.
LeanLogistics is running a half day and evening event to address this transportation challenge in the aquaculture industry. The event will be held in the luxurious five star The Thief Hotel in Oslo, Norway on 12th May 2016.
LeanLogistics has helped companies save between 5% and 15% of their transportation spend by using LeanLogistics Transportation Management Software (LeanTMS). Marine Harvest, a keynote speaker, has been a LeanLogistics customer since 2013 and has already saved up to 5% in transportation costs.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to reduce transportation costs and control freight spend via automated self-invoicing using LeanLogistics' Transportation Management System software (LeanTMS).
Attendees will also:
- Learn how LeanLogistics helped Marine Harvest improve their supply chain
- Hear about Norwegian transportation challenges from the Institute of Transport Logistics
- Discover more about the Norwegian seafood industry from Sjomat Norge – the Norwegian Seafood Federation
- Learn about recent trends and market developments from DNB Markets
- Have the opportunity to network with peers in the aquaculture industry in a relaxed environment over lunch or dinner
Presentations will also be given by LeanLogistics senior management describing the features and benefits of the European LeanTMS solution and future product plans.

Our Roadmap to Creating Supply Chain Solutions
If the start and end point of a company's supply chain followed a straight and narrow path, software solutions would be simple to create. In reality, the supply chain looks more like a freeway interchange filled with twist, turns, and crossing lanes. At LeanLogistics, we put our customers in the driver seat steering us toward a software solution to address their logistical speed bumps.
Our latest product addressed the red light issues impacting shippers moving containers over water. LeanGlobal® is designed to streamline global logistics by offering a single platform and workflow. To reach that end goal, we had to begin with a roadmap.
The first step to building a roadmap is to identify an industry problem. We tapped into the LeanLogistics transportation network to talk to existing customers, industry analysts, managed transportation services professionals, and partner organizations to identify barriers slowing down global shipments.
Global Shipping Issues Identified:
1) Inefficient Processes: A lot of shippers resort to manual processes to procure capacity and communicate shipment details with the many parties involved in ocean movements.
2) Access to Information: To plan and execute an international shipment, shippers need to access many different sources for information including trade compliance, sailing schedules, requesting bookings, import and export filing, and tracking.
3) Drayage Management: Inability to synchronize ocean booking with drayage loads for seamless movement between land and sea.
4)Visibility: A lot of shippers are in the dark when trying to track containers.
5) Freight Audit and Settlement: Manual processing of ocean invoices leads to inaccuracies and delays.
After validating the industry problems and creating a business case, the product management team went to work creating a vision for technology that could address these specific problems. From the vision, we created a functionality footprint—an inventory of all the moving parts needed to make up the engine of LeanGlobal.
A key part of the roadmap is identifying the functionality our development team should begin writing code for first. The primary driver for prioritization is always the value the item will bring to our customers. There is no shortage of ideas we want to deliver, so we look to maximize each release with quality, and fully functional modules that bring immediate value to the market.
In the case of LeanGlobal, we added functionality to address the barriers and streamline the entire process. Shippers can plan and book full container load ocean moves directly with the vessel carrier or freight forwarder, maintain full visibility of each container from pickup to delivery, and ensure compliance with international trade laws—all on one platform and in one workflow. This not only saves money and internal resources, but also reduces the opportunity for human error.
The product management team is proud of LeanGlobal, and looking forward to watching its functionality help shippers improve productivity and reduce the bottom line. Our roadmaps never reach the finish line. They continue to evolve as new issues impact the market. Each successful solution keeps the LeanLogistics team revved up for the next mile in our journey to build better supply chains together.
Scalability? It doesn't happen overnight
Wherever you look today, you see overnight successes. The latest app becomes all the rage on Android and IPhone's. A video goes viral and creates a cult following. A little known startup suddenly gets acquired by Microsoft for a sum three times your company's size. All of those can happen in the blink of an eye. In today's hyper connected world, it's amazing how quickly fame and glory arrive, yet can so quickly fade.
Fortunately, that's not how the supply chain works. There aren't too many supply chain professionals who watch their network undergo extreme changes in a matter of moments (with the exception of natural disasters of course). Having a single truck delayed does not tank a business plan; neither does a single delighted customer bullet proof a company's logistical success. Supply chains are extremely resilient, but are often asked to shoulder major changes. And when it comes to scaling that supply chain, it definitely does not happen overnight.
Scalability in the supply chain requires expertise and direction. Not all supply chains need to scale in terms of size, but maybe it's a matter of scaling back certain elements and scaling up others. Mode shifts are a perfect example of this. As intermodal continues to gain traction and unseasonably low capacity remains, being able to scale in different ways gives the supply chain options to retain its original purpose and goals.
Goals. Sometimes that's all practictioners have to go on, relying on their partners and suppliers to deliver the results. Some will trust in the process, waving contracts and service expectations in front of their constituents. Others, like CHEP, take a proactive approach to managing partners with technology. In this way, positive results are scaled and negative outcomes are reduced.
Although it's clear you can't scale a supply chain overnight, there are some ways to help it along. In previous blog posts, we've discussed getting your RFP in better shape or planning for seasonal shifts as ways to scale your supply chain, but there is another element to consider. If we go back to our first three examples in this post, they have a common theme: technology. In today's world, always-on SAAS infrastructure is table stakes for scaling for long term success. Startups don't buy servers anymore, they buy server space and time. Storage of secure documents is often housed thousands of miles away to a data center able to take an 8.9 on the Richter scale. It's scalable and configurable. Whether you need a lot or a little today and need the exact opposite tomorrow, a SAAS model delivers. If you're not there, it's okay. Chiquita had to take a journey, too. Now, SAAS is part of their world. Your supply chain might not be as complex as dealing with highly perishable food, but if a 115 year old company can adopt a scalable SAAS solution. so can your company.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? For those looking to scale their supply chain (up, down, or sideways), challenges lie ahead. Those challenges are just that, a challenge. With a combination of technology and expertise, plus a little bit of time, those supply chains will scale with sustainable growth. When those goals are met and the company lauds it as an overnight success, the supply chain folks will know how it really happened.
Is Outsourcing Transportation The Right Decision?
In today's constantly changing market, managing transportation is a key factor for a more efficient and cohesive supply chain. Many companies still use manual methods to manage freight, relying on their internal expertise to execute their supply chain. With faxes, spreadsheets and phones, transportation departments are prone to duplicated efforts, human error, loss and most importantly, lack of visibility in transportation processes. Then there are companies leveraging transportation technology, but require expertise and special skills to minimize costs of shipments while maximizing service. With changes in business models through acquisitions/mergers, fluctuating fuel costs, and a fast-growing marketplace, supply chain teams need to focus on their strategic operations and determine if outsourcing the transportation function can actually increase efficiencies. Although that decision can be difficult, the company must still move products, be cost-effective, meet service levels and satisfy customers.
Management of a company's supply chain is an important aspect of a corporate strategy. Without the specific knowledge, resources and bandwidth, transportation is an area that can drastically affect a company's bottom line and increase customer satisfaction. For many companies, outsourcing the transportation process to supply chain experts who are highly skilled and proficient with technology gives companies the ability to focus on their core competency, which is not always transportation. Instead of spending hours and budget on reoccurring training to drive the department to become tech savvy, by streamlining transportation management, companies gain more efficient processes while lowering costs. The winning combination of professional logisticians, proven supply chain processes, and industry-leading SaaS software enables companies to improve transportation without jeopardizing the core business offering.
Managed Transportation Services from LeanLogistics utilizes LeanTMS, a SaaS software application, combined with a team of experienced logistics professionals to create the optimal solution for companies seeking to future-proof transportation functions. Unlike other outsourced transportation services, LeanLogistics offers both the expertise and industry-leading software to support processes in a flexible and affordable fashion. Managed Transportation Services is nimble enough to support companies that move the transportation department inside and/or outside of the corporate umbrella, as needed to cover employee and marketplace changes.
What is your Personal Brand?
Who are you?
Chances are you've heard the question before, or some version of it. And you probably offered your name, followed by some extra information about yourself, explaining your reason for being there with the person posing the question.
Generally speaking, the situation guides the response:
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jane Doe, here for my appointment."
"Who are you?"
"I'm John Smith; we spoke on the phone."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jake, from State Farm."
These are simple answers, easily defined because they are specific by necessity. But how do you answer that question free of context? That answer is your brand.
We all know that branding is important for companies. We talk about trustworthy brands, good brands, well-made brands, brand loyalty, and on and on. A company with a well-established brand is one that we recognize; we can sing the jingles and know the slogans.
Like a company, you have a professional brand. And like a company, your brand might be made up of the high quality work you've done in the past; maybe it's your social awareness or charm and wit. And just like you might want to work for a company because of their employment brand, companies should seek you out because of your brand.
Clearly articulating who you are as a teammate makes it easier for the companies you want to work for to find you. You can highlight your past accomplishments while also aiming for the next step in your career. It ensures that in your professional community, you're thought of highly, seen as a competent and valuable addition to a team, if not an outright expert. A personal brand isn't boasting; it's a strategic demonstration of what you bring to the table.
We're not suggesting you write your own jingle (although top marks for originality if you have one). As individuals, we're not afforded commercial spots at prime time to share who we are. But we have ways of getting our brands out there.
LinkedIn isn't Facebook – this isn't where you post pictures of your weekend barbeque or funny cat gifs. This is where you present the history of your brand. It's where you demonstrate the quality of work you provide, the consistency of your work ethic, and even give out free samples, depending on what you do. You can do a little piggy-backing on the corporate brand(s) that you've been associated with, and if your brand is strong, your company will be more than happy to have its brand bolstered by yours.
Twitter isn't quite as professionally-driven as LinkedIn, but if you want to be a player, you've got to learn the game. What better way to learn the rules than in spurts of 140 characters or less? Many professional communities have active presences on Twitter, where you can follow industry leaders and gain some knowledge and insights about the latest and greatest in your world. It's easy to expand your network with Twitter, as well.
User Groups
User groups are generally organized by technology companies to bolster their own brand. They are also great ways to network, to learn more, and to spread the word about you. These types of meet-and-greets are generally safe spaces to perfect your answer to "who are you." They might provide common, industry-specific branding terms that you can use when in doubt. You can also increase your knowledge and skills, your audience, and subsequently your personal brand awareness.
Professional Certifications
There's something about having a piece of paper with your name on it that just feels great, maybe empowering. It's also a fantastic way to strengthen your brand. Companies do it, too – Energy Star Certified, anyone? Generally backed by a third party, a certification is just a way of telling your own company, as well as prospective employers, that you have demonstrated the quality of your brand.
Your Employer
It's important for your employer to support your personal brand. If you look good, they will look good, so it's in their best interest to help you be the best. That might be in the form of tuition reimbursement or training. It might be inviting teammates to share their ideas outside of the four walls of their institution. At the very least, being associated with an employer's strong corporate brand can lend credit to your own.
The other benefit of all of these outlets is that, if you're unsure how to answer the question, you can see how the leaders in your industry answer it. Emulate what they've done before you and alter it when you're ready, make it your own, and interact with the professional community with that brand ever in mind.
Your brand may change over time, and that's ok. It happens. But if you build a strong brand out of the gate, it will be easier to shift with the currents of life that may take you to different shores. Regardless of those changes, own it; own your brand.

Air Canada asks Ottawa for C$200 million loan
By Louise Egan and Nicole Mordant
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Cash-strapped Air Canada has approached the government for a loan, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Tuesday as the airline works against the clock to stave off possible bankruptcy.
Flaherty said Canada's biggest airline was in discussions with Export Development Canada for a commercial loan. A source close to the talks said the carrier was asking the federal financing agency for about C$200 million ($177 million), a third of the C$600 million the carrier says it needs in the short term.
"Air Canada has had some discussions with Export Development Canada about possibly borrowing on commercial terms, but those are discussions that are ongoing," Flaherty told reporters.
His comments come hours after Air Canada announced it had reached tentative agreements with the rest of its unionized workforce on a temporary freeze on funding a deep pension shortfall.
An agreement with the unions on pensions and securing financing are crucial to keeping the debt-laden airline, which has been buffeted by a global slowdown in air travel and stiff competition at home, from filing for bankruptcy for the second time in six years.
Shares in Air Canada surged as much as 20 percent on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning. The class A shares hit C$1.77, a gain of 32 Canadian cents, while its B shares reached C$1.78, an increase of 29 Canadian cents.
The source said any loans to Air Canada would come from the EDC's Canada Account, which is for transactions that are outside the EDC's responsibility but deemed to be in the national interest.
The loan would be negotiated on a commercial basis and would not be considered by the government as a bailout. The EDC would administer the loan but the federal government would take on the risk. Continued...

Setting up OpenStack Ansible (OSA) All-in-one (AIO) behind a proxy requires a couple of settings, but it should work fine (we'll also configure the wider system). There are two types of git repos that we should configure for (unless you're an OpenStack developer), those that use http (or https) and those that use the git protocol.
Firstly, this assumes an Ubuntu 14.04 server install (with at least 60GB of free space on / partition).
All commands are run as the root user, so switch to root first.
sudo -i
Export variables for ease of setup
Setting these variables here means that you can copy and paste the relevant commands from the rest of this blog post.
Note:Make sure that your proxy is fully resolvable and then replace the settings below with your actual proxy details (leave out user:password if you don't use one).
export PROXY_PROTO="http" export PROXY_HOST="user:password@proxy" export PROXY_PORT="3128" export PROXY="${PROXY_PROTO}://${PROXY_HOST}:${PROXY_PORT}"
First, install some essentials (reboot after upgrade if you like).
echo "Acquire::http::Proxy \"${PROXY}\";" \ > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy apt-get update && apt-get upgrade apt-get install git openssh-server rsync socat vim
Configure global proxies
For any http:// or https:// repositories we can just set a shell environment variable. We'll set this in /etc/environment so that all future shells have it automatically.
cat >> /etc/environment << EOF export http_proxy="${PROXY}" export https_proxy="${PROXY}" export HTTP_PROXY="${PROXY}" export HTTPS_PROXY="${PROXY}" export ftp_proxy="${PROXY}" export FTP_PROXY="${PROXY}" export no_proxy=localhost export NO_PROXY=localhost EOF
Source this to set the proxy variables in your current shell.
source /etc/environment
Tell sudo to keep these environment variables
echo 'Defaults env_keep = "http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy \ no_proxy HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY FTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"' \ > /etc/sudoers.d/01_proxy
Configure Git
For any git:// repositories we need to make a script that uses socat (you could use netcat) and tell Git to use this as the proxy.
cat > /usr/local/bin/git-proxy.sh << EOF #!/bin/bash # \$1 = hostname, \$2 = port exec socat STDIO PROXY:${PROXY_HOST}:\${1}:\${2},proxyport=${PROXY_PORT} EOF
Make it executable.
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/git-proxy.sh
Tell Git to proxy connections through this script.
git config --global core.gitProxy /usr/local/bin/git-proxy.sh
Clone OpenStack Ansible
OK, let's clone the OpenStack Ansible repository! We're living on the edge and so will build from master, however feel free to check out a tagged stable release if you prefer (e.g. git checkout -b tag-13.2.0 13.2.0 ).
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/openstack-ansible \ /opt/openstack-ansible cd /opt/openstack-ansible/
Bootstrap Ansible
Now we can kick off the ansible bootstrap. This prepares the system with all of the Ansible roles that make up an OpenStack environment.
Upon success, you should see:
System is bootstrapped and ready for use.
Bootstrap OpenStack Ansible All In One
Now let's bootstrap the all in one system. This configures the host with appropriate disks and network configuration, etc ready to run the OpenStack environment in containers.
Run the Ansible playbooks
The final task is to run the playbooks, which sets up all of the OpenStack components on the host and containers. Before we proceed, however, this requires some additional configuration for the proxy.
The user_variables.yml file under the root filesystem at /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml is where we configure environment variables for OSA to export and set some other options (again, note the leading / before etc – do not modify the template file at /opt/openstack-ansible/etc/openstack_deploy by mistake).
cat >> /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml << EOF proxy_env_url: "\"${PROXY}\"" no_proxy_env: "\"localhost,127.0.0.1, {{ internal_lb_vip_address }}, {{ external_lb_vip_address }}, {% for host in groups['all_containers'] %} {{ hostvars[host]['container_address'] }} {% if not loop.last %}, {% endif %}{% endfor %}\"" global_environment_variables: HTTP_PROXY: "{{ proxy_env_url }}" HTTPS_PROXY: "{{ proxy_env_url }}" NO_PROXY: "{{ no_proxy_env }}" http_proxy: "{{ proxy_env_url }}" https_proxy: "{{ proxy_env_url }}" no_proxy: "{{ no_proxy_env }}" EOF
Now run the playbooks!
Note: This will take a long time, perhaps a few hours, so run it in a screen or tmux session.
Verify containers
Once the playbooks complete, you should be able to list your running containers and see their status (there will be a couple of dozen).
lxc-ls -f
Log into OpenStack
Now that the system is complete, we can start using OpenStack!
You should be able to use your web browser to log into Horizon, the OpenStack Dashboard, at your AIO hosts's IP address.
If you're not sure what IP that is, you can find out by looking at which address port 443 is running on.
netstat -ltnp |grep 443
The admin user's password is available in the user_secrets.yml file on the AIO host.
grep keystone_auth_admin_password \ /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml
A successful login should reveal the admin dashboard.
Enjoy your OpenStack Ansible All-in-one!

The still water at the edge of the mere was filmed with drifted debris in which countless wriggling nymphs were struggling to reach the air; gnats in numbers one cannot estimate were leaving the aquatic for the aerial life. Indeed a walk through the thickets is now less enjoyable than it was a few weeks ago; the big leaves of the sapling sycamores, glistening with honey-dew, scatter their aphid hordes upon us when we brush against them; the buzzing flies in the steamy glades alight upon our hot faces for a carouse, and the tiny green caterpillars which the willow wrens have failed to gather descend by silken threads upon hat and coat. Perfectly harmless though most of these insects are, they can cause much irritation from their tiny feet. Even the tent-winged alder-fly, now in abundance in the reeds, can annoy when it rambles over hand or face.
The statement that the nightingale was heard one night in May at Grasmere must be accepted with reserve. It does not follow that a lady, though a native of East Anglia, could not make a mistake. Though it is not impossible, it is improbable that a single bird should roam so far from its ordinary beat and be heard on one night only and by a single individual. Even in Cheshire, where the bird occasionally visits, the majority of the reports cannot be supported. The nightingale's song is not, except for certain notes, strikingly different from that of a good-voiced thrush, and there are snatches in the songs of many of the warblers which closely resemble some of those in the varied song of the somewhat overrated bird. More evidence than one second-hand report is necessary before many of us will believe that a nightingale has visited Lakeland.

In recent years, the size of data companies process and store in their databases as well as the traffic volumes hitting their websites has begun to increase dramatically. As a result, a lot of them experience serious performance problems whenever a single database server is not enough any more to handle all incoming requests. Clustering and load balancing technologies offer measures to overcome these limitations.
PSCE experts have extensive experience with all established clustering and load balancing solutions for MySQL. Many both free and paid products on the market today work well only with specific workloads or have some other limitations, so choosing the right one is very important for success. Our consultants understand how each technology works and know exactly when or how it can be applied. They designed, planned and executed countless migrations to such distributed environments.
Here are some of the related technologies that we know:

The Royal Veterinary College staged the first European Veterinary Students Football Championship with teams from Belgium and Spain competing for the inaugural VIFA Cup.
The RVC is well known for the quality of its veterinary graduates, but it appears its footballers are pretty handy too.
Last month, the college staged the first European Veterinary Students Football Championship with teams from Liége in Belgium and Zaragoza in Spain competing for the inaugural VIFA Cup.
However, despite the quality of the international opposition, it was the RVC lads who made home advantage count after powering their way to the final before beating Liége 2-0 to land the coveted cup.
RVC FC sports correspondent Matt Link said: "Overall the day was a huge success, players from each team swapped shirts and many friends were made. Already the wheels are in motion to make the tournament a regular occurrence, something that would be welcomed by all those who participated in this year's event."
Although RVC entered two teams in the competition it was the "firsts" who did the damage with Tom Mcparland opening their account with a 35-yard thunderbolt in a 3-0 romp against Zaragoza.
In their next match, RVC 1 took on RVC 2 where, thanks in large part to a hat-trick from Alex Hirst, they booked their place in the final with a comfortable 5-0 against their severely subdued stablemates.
Liege were waiting in the final and it turned out to be a sizzling showpiece with the Belgians playing some pretty football before the home side snatched the lead when Robert Pope lashed Siddharth Sudunagunta's cross into the top corner from just inside the penalty area.
With their opponents reeling, RVC wasted no time pressing home their advantage when Charlie May slotted home his second of the tournament to make it 2-0.
Liége battled gamely to find a foothold, but with the RVC back four of Nick Ibbotson, Liam Barnet, Chris Snow and Jamie Cole in superb form, there was no way back for the beleaguered Belgians.

Baghdad, Feb 16: A United Nations employee abducted north of Baghdad last year was murdered, the UN's Iraq mission said today, condemning the killing and calling on authorities to investigate.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq "condemns in the strongest terms the killing of one of its staff members, who was abducted in April 2015 and whose death was verified only on Monday", it said in a statement.
"The Mission calls on the Iraqi authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice." Amer al-Kaissy, the UN's representative in Diyala province, was seized in the city of Baquba on April 26, 2015, and "is suspected to have been abducted by militias active in the area", it said.
Iraq turned to paramilitary forces dominated by Iran-backed Shiite militias to help counter an offensive by the Islamic State jihadist group that overran swathes of territory in 2014. While militia forces have played a major role in combatting the jihadists, they have also carried out abuses including killings, kidnappings and destruction of property.
UN Iraq representative Jan Kubis said the mission had made repeated unsuccessful appeals to the authorities following Kaissy's abduction.
"For more than nine months we have sought the intervention of the government on the local and national levels to ensure his safe return to his family," Kubis said in the statement.
"We have expressed serious concern about the lack of progress in identifying his whereabouts and achieving his safe release. I am deeply disappointed that our efforts and appeals went unanswered," he said.
The UN suffered one of the worst attacks in its history in Iraq in 2003 when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-rigged truck at the Canal Hotel in the Iraqi capital. The blast smashed a corner of the building, killing Brazilian UN envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello and 21 others.

Community activist says Orlando needs to free up youth sports venues
ORLANDO, Fla. - As Orlando embarks on a quest to build another new sports venue some in the community are complaining that neighborhood venues are underutilized and not being used to promote strong values in lower income families.
"A key component of that is, obviously, access for youth to do positive things instead of negative things," said Tim McKinney with United Global Outreach.
McKinney believes facilities like the Emery Hamilton Sports Complex are underutilized by Orlando youth because they remain locked until an organization pays a fee to use them.
"Most folks in this community can't afford to pay the fees that the city has for parks like this one and many others throughout the city," said McKinney.
McKinney also points to the Hankins Park ball field where youth program organizer Terrell Anderson is trying keep kids out of the kind of trouble he got into at an early age.
"I ended up going out of juvenile detention homes, in and out of jail and then off to prison," said Anderson.
City officials said ball fields like Hankins Park aren't like regular parks. They said they need more maintenance which is why they charge fees.
But Anderson said the kids he works with can't afford the fees of up to $40 per hour.
We don't have the money for that. We go out and raise our money from our program.
A city representative said the fees offset costs to taxpayers, and that they must ensure that organizations that use the fields are properly insured.
McKinney said he doesn't buy that reasoning.
"Mayor Dyer has gotten very good at ribbon
-cuttings for new venues. I think we need a few ribbon-cuttings for old venues and bring some bolt cutters down here and get these locks taken off," he said.

The next generation MKVII Golf is coming (spotted testing here) and will make its debut this fall at the Paris car show. We will get the standard Golf in the USA as well as the GTI. What is interesting is we may also get the GTD which is akin to a GTI diesel. Car and Driver rendered the new Golf as you can see in the picture below. With how important this model is for the VW brand we have no doubt it will improve on everything we love about the current MKVI.

Island from the Sea
Swaying lightly on blue sparkles,
With a crystallised citadel soaring into the sunshine.
Rooted deep into the heart of the planet:
This stony soul that pulses with warmth.
The beach basks in vivid luxury,
In a gradient of cinnamon,
Packed and cool and shadow-damp.
Great brown granite rocks
Rise in formations phenomenal;
A beige species of barnacle
Spatters browning faces.
This is a new dimension of perfection,
A new scope of awe;
This radiant vista lends insight into godly enormity.
Faith erupts,
Doubts plummet,
Jubilation exults and exalts
Above all.
Then witness beauteous layers of geology,
Ordered in that colossal cliff
With such delicacy.
From this parallax it is mighty;
Fortitude, solicitous fortitude—
Where devotion is numinous.

|Once a friend betrays you, you cut him, you don't think twice.
|~ Kanan to Tommy.
|I thought about killing you a hundred different ways.
|~ Kanan to Ghost.
Kanan is a powerful drug lord and the main antagonist of the Starz TV show, Power, along with Felipe Lobos (Seasons 1-3) and Milan (Season 3).
He is portrayed by rapper 50 Cent.
Kanan is Ghost's former boss and mentor. He has been in prison for years because of a sketchy drug charge. He had once taken both Tommy and Ghost under his wing years ago and taught both of them everything they know. Even though he served as a advisor to Ghost's organization, he is secretly plotting against him and plans to return to the game in grand fashion.
Season 1
Kanan first appears when his son Shawn comes to visit him in prison and the two catch up on everything that's been going on. During this time, Kanan hires a beautiful but deadly assassin known as Pink Sneakers to kill Ghost and his associates. While Ghost is looking for the person that is killing off his crew, Kanan contacts him from prison and informs him that the RSK gang leader Rolla, who was a friend and protégé, is behind it, framing the gangster and causing Ghost to go assassinate him. Sometime later, Kanan is visited by a lawyer with the news that he will soon be released from prison. Afterwards, Pink Sneakers pays Kanan a visit and he tell her that she wants Ghost dead before he gets out and that she needs to get new shoes.
Season 2
Kanan is released from prison and visits Ghost, his family, and Tommy which surprises the latter. He later catches up to everything going on in the drug business. During this time, Kanan looks for Pink Sneakers, who failed to kill Ghost, and has one of her contacts attempt to find her but fails. He kills him and later learns that Pink Sneakers is in hiding in Miami. He orders his right hand man Dre go to Miami and kill her before Ghost does. Kanan and Tommy meet up with the RSK gang and their new leader Q-Dubs, which ends in Kanan killing him as the latter refused to work with him, Tommy, or Ruiz and his Soldado gang. Afterwards, Kanan furthers his plot to take over the drug business and kill Ghost. After a meeting with Tommy, Dre and his crew, Kanan has Dre kill one the latter's men, Brock as he disliked him and thought he would be disloyal. Later, He meets up with all the drug lords and gangs , including Serbian gang leader, Vladimir, Haitian gang leader Drifty, and Ruiz in order to meet up with Felipe Lobos and set up a new drug business with Kanan in charge and Lobos as their distributor once Ghost is dead. However, things change as Tommy and Lobos are arrested. Tommy is released while Lobos is still locked up and the drug lords agree to have Ghost killed. During this time, Kanan uses his son Shawn to kill Ghost. However, Shawn fails and Ghost sends him away. Kanan is later confronted by his son, to whom he admits to using him and then shoots and kills him. Kanan has Dre get rid of Shawn's body and has a confrontation with Ghost at a warehouse and the two fight and have a bloody, fiery showdown. Ghost stabs Kanan and then burns the house down, thinking he's dead. However, it is likely that Kanan survives and it is discovered that someone broke out of the warehouse during the fire.
Season 3
Kanan survives the fight with Ghost and goes into hiding in Washington D.C. at his cousin's house, but he is severely burnt and injured. After recovering, he helps robs a jewelry store and kills Dirt, who in on the heist after he opens the store's safe. He later plans revenge on Ghost once again and his cousin advises him to use Ghost to his advantage and then kill him. He returns to New York City and goes to Dre's apartment and watches his daughter. When Dre returns from work at the club, He is shocked that Kanan is there and still alive. Kanan is angry that he is working with Ghost and blackmails him into working with him once again by threatening to kill his daughter. He is later seen spying on Ghost and Tommy. He mater meets up with Dre, who promised to get him more information on what is going on with Ghost. Later after updated by Dre on Ghost's current event, he helps a old lady to her apartment (which was one of Ghost's old apartment) and kills her by smothering her to death. While Kanan continues to get updates on Ghost's actions from Dre, He meets Ghost's son Tariq. Kanan later picks the boy up from school and the two bond. Kanan later threatens Dre about warning Tariq about him, reminding him that he chose him. Kanan shows a soft spot for Tariq, thinking that he would be like a father to him as Tariq resented his own father. While Kanan is hanging out with Tariq, Jukebox later shows up to help. They tested his loyalty and Jukebox has him arrested and tried to force him to give up Kanan, which he passes. While they are all hanging out his apartment and plan to take out Ghost, Kanan talks with his cousin and she advises him to kill Tariq, which he holds off on that. They later drug Tariq and then send a text from his phone to Tasha, showing a picture of his son and demanding a ransom.
Murders committed by Kanan
- Pink Sneaker's contact: Shot in the head for failing to find Pink Sneakers.
- Q-Dubs: Shot in the head, for refusing to work with him.
- RSK member: Shot to death, for being a witness.
- Shawn: Shot twice for not killing Ghost after Shawn confronted him.
- Dirt: Shot in the head with a sub machine uzi.
- Unknown old woman: Smothered to death.
Murders connected to Kanan
- Anibal: Sliced in the neck from behind to weaken Ghost's drug operation.
- Rolla: Shot in the head in his apartment by Ghost, after Kanan told him it was Rolla who sent Pink Sneakers after him.
- Pink Sneakers: Stabbed to death by Dre, after failing to kill Ghost as he wanted Ghost dead before he gets out of prison and to also make sure she is not the one to tell Ghost it was him who sent her to kill him.
- Brock: Kidnapped and shot by Dre because Kanan didn't like him and considered him as disloyal.
- This was 50 Cent's first villain role.
- Kanan is the overarching villain of the series, as he has appeared in all three seasons so far, and has more history with Ghost and Tommy than anyone else.

Temper Tantrum
The next morning Nathan and I joined the others in Rosalie and Aidans living room.
"I here you are vampires and Shapeshifters?" Aidan quiestioned me and Nathann. Nathen gave me a quick peck on the cheek and began to tell our lifestory.
"Maria and I were born Shapeshifters. We met each other over ahundred years ago under not very good circumstances and the only way to get out was to allow the A.C.E. Team to experimant on us.
"Having Amelia to think about, Maria said yes. I took one look at her and decided I wanted to be with her through it.
"Next thing I remember is waking up in a strange house with a very strong urge to drink blood. Maria, who had already woken up and figured out what happened, she had a bag of blood ready. I took it but before I could finish it, she had distracted me."
"Like last night?" Sarah asked me snickering.
I felt rage building in my viens and a snarl ripped up my throat and out my mouth. I lunged but before I could change or rip her throat out, Nathan had grabbed me and was yelling at someone to put some metal on my skin. I snarled an ear peircing shriek as the metal touched my skin and rendered me as weak as a baby.
"I'm sorry love, but you would regret it later." Nathan whispered in my ear as all my energy left me.
"Then let me regret it, It'll be my fault" I whimpered back. He only laughed and when my anger left me, he got Alexis to take the metal of me. I got up and left the room. I shut my brain down, concentrated on a bluetit, and by the time the rest had got out of the house a small blue bird was flying away.

"The day on which BJP comes to power in Delhi, power tariff will be decreased by 30 per cent," Goel said, addressing his first press conference after assuming his new responsibility.
Hike in power tariff is likely to become a major issue in the run up to the assembly elections slated to be held in Nov. AAP's Arvind Kejriwal had already announced that his party would fight the Delhi Assembly polls focussing mainly on hike in electricity and water tariff.
The power tariff in the city was hiked by 22 per cent in 2011 followed by five per cent hike in Feb last year. The tariff was hiked by up to two per cent in May last year and again by 26 per cent for domestic consumers in Jul last year.
The tariff was hiked by up to three per cent last month.
Indicating that hike in power tariff will be one of the major issue for BJP, Goel warned the Delhi Government not to hike the tariff again and said he will launch a "Bijli Andolan" in the city if such a decision is taken.
"We will announce date of the Bijli Andolan Rally in Ramlila Maidan on the day the tariff is increased. The discoms and the Delhi Government have been putting excessive burden on the people of Delhi and we will not tolerate it any further," he said.
Goel, who served as Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government, accused the Congress government of total failure in all fronts and claimed he has "solution" to all the problems of Delhi.
Sounding poll bugle, the senior Delhi BJP leader said the party will pay more attention to "40 lakh people living in unauthorised colonies, 30 lakh people in JJ colonies, 10 lakh people in slums and 5 to 10 lakh residents of villages where no development has taken place during Congress' regime."
Goel said BJP will present a report on key issues within a month and form various committees on them. "On the basis of these reports in one month we will present the schemes for solving the problems before the people. Our role is not only to criticise the Government but we want to present an alternative model," he said.
"We want Delhi to progress in the same way the BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have progressed. In Gujarat, electricity rates have not been raised for 12 years. Still the electricity companies make profit. Why the tariffs have gone up so much in Delhi?," the BJP leader asked.
Giving an example of his alternative model, Goel said Delhi has been facing lot of problems due to multiplicity of authorities which needs to be ended.
"There are 11 police districts in Delhi, 12 zones of MCD, 11 Revenue districts and seven Lok Sabha seats. We shall make 14 equal divisions of all the bodies in Delhi so that two divisions fall under each of the seven Lok Sabha constituencies," he said.
Lambasting the Delhi Government, Goel said "though Sheila Dikshit claims Delhi to be on par with Paris, actually 80 per cent of the city is in the slums where she has never gone."
"In these areas even the most basic of facilities are not available, what to talk of Paris. The Sheila Dikshit government claims that they are supplying 226 litres of water per person. But the ground reality is that more than half of the capital is thirsty," he said.
The BJP leader also accused the Congress government of resorting to "fraud" in offering provisional regularisation certificates to unauthorised colonies.
"Dikshit is not aware of the fact that how much fraud she is doing with the people of Delhi. Forged provisional certificates were distributed to the unauthorised colonies but not a single colony has been regularised till now," he alleged.
Goel said the government plans to improve the rural roads at a cost of Rs 400 crore to secure votes.
"She wants to secure the votes of the people by falsely promising Mono Rail, distributing gas cylinders, allotting flats under Rajiv Ratna Aawas Yojna and many more promises," he said.
"The BJP does not believe in making false promises. I believe in talking directly with the people. I am determined to bring improvement to the lives of the people of this city by good governance," Goel said.
He also slammed the Chief Minister for failing to take any concrete measures to contain crime against women despite huge public outburst in the wake of the Dec 16 gangrape incident. "She is making false announcements to grab power for the fourth time. This is not fair," he said.

Cheltenham Town 1 Charlton 0
George Jones reports from Whaddon Road
Charlton exited the EFL Cup at the first-round stage after suffering a single-goal defeat against Cheltenham Town on Tuesday evening.
Former Addick Harry Pell struck the only goal of the game on 17 minutes and, despite getting themselves into a number of threatening positions during the 90 minutes, the Addicks were unable to get themselves on the scoresheet.
In terms of team news, Manager Russell Slade handed full, senior debuts to academy graduates Ezri Konsa and Brandon Hanlan.
The former, impressive in our pre-season campaign, lined up in the centre of defence alongside the experienced Roger Johnson. They were supported by full-backs Kevin Foley and Morgan Fox, with skipper Johnnie Jackson and Andrew Crofts operating in front of them in the engine room.
Ricky Holmes and Ademola Lookman provided a threat down the flanks and Hanlan – a scorer of two goals in pre-season – supported Nicky Ajose in attack.
The home side threw a couple of early balls into the Addicks' box but the visitors were able to defend them well. Then, on six minutes, Charlton were only denied the lead by the linesman's flag.
Full debutant Hanlan burst into the box and, from a tight angle, he sent a cross-shot towards the back post that Ajose diverted into the net. Unfortunately for the Addicks, the flag was raised for offside, though.
A neat spell of Charlton possession ended with Holmes firing over the bar, and the hosts were then themselves denied by an official's flag – just as the visitors had been a few minutes earlier.
Pell sent a deflected strike towards goal that Declan Rudd did well to parry and Danny Wright was first to react to tuck home the rebound. But it was ruled out.
At the other end, Johnson saw a close-range strike hacked off the line and Jackson then glanced a header wide soon afterwards.
The home side went in front with 17 minutes played. A long throw-in from Daniel O'Shaughnessy was not properly cleared and Pell tucked the loose ball home from six yards.
No-one in purple was able to get on the end of a Hanlan cut-back as the Addicks looked for a quick response and Fox then saw a shot well blocked after he got onto on the end of a Holmes corner.
Ajose latched onto Hanlan's knockdown on 26 minutes but could only drag his strike harmlessly wide and both Fox and Holmes then blazed off target, following some good link-up play in and around the Cheltenham box.
Wright looped a long-range strike over the bar and the hosts then had a great chance to double their lead. Wright broke down the left, cut inside and aimed an effort at goal that Rudd pushed away. It came out to Billy Waters and he got the ball under control before curling narrowly wide.
On 38 minutes, Charlton should have equalised. Fox threw the ball down the line to Holmes, he broke into the box and drilled in a low cross that neither Ajose nor Hanlan could get the vital touch to in the middle.
A quick corner routine gave Holmes a sight of goal but the home defence did well to deflect his strike behind and, from the following set-piece, Johnson rose highest at the far post but headed wide.
The Robins headed in a goal to the good at the interval but it took the Addicks less than five minutes to test their hosts after the restart. Hanlan made himself half a yard on the edge of the box but could only shoot wide.
They came within inches of getting their leveller on 55 minutes. Foley scampered down the right and sent in a low cross, which took a deflection off Easah Suliman and completely wrong footed home goalkeeper Russell Griffiths before trickling just wide.
Pell drilled a free-kick into the arms of Rudd on the hour mark and, at the other end, a Jackson through ball just had too much on it for the advancing Ajose.
Substitute Karlan Ahearne-Grant sent a low snapshot a couple of yards wide, having been teed up by Hanlan and, with 10 minutes remaining, Ajose sent an on-the-turn strike into the arms of Griffiths.
The goalkeeper was bravely off his line to smother at the feet of Ahearne-Grant in stoppage time, and that proved to be the final chance of the game as Cheltenham held on to progress into round two.
