Curious case of digitization in franchising
Leveraging on new and old technology in today's franchise business, digitization has taken the front seat in all sorts of work. It is not only the most important tool but a vital part to run the business. Here are some of the instances where digitization
Sr. Sub-editor
Be it retail, services or F&B sector, brands across sectors are now looking forward to digitize their business model to improvise their operations, competency, sales and marketing and to attract greater footfall. Digitization has lead to the enthralling business concepts and has helped the franchise brands in their expansion plans. Technology space offers growth opportunities to both the franchisees and the franchisors in terms of revenues.
Technology has enabled the franchisors in yielding massive returns. FirstCry.com, a kids retail brand works on a hybrid business model and incessantly aims at creating an ecosystem in the niche by providing a well-integrated offline as well as online option for parents to avail whatever product or brand they needed for their kids. Supam Maheshwari, CEO and Founder, FirstCry.com asserts: "To make shopping a delightful experience, we installed kiosks at our stores. The kiosk innovation has made it exceptionally easy for customers to browse through 90,000 products listed on FirstCry.com."
Tech step ahead
In recent times, several franchise brands have adopted digitization or many e commerce brands have roped in franchising brands to strengthen their network. Dunkin' Donuts, an American doughnut chain has forayed into packaged products to increase its consumption in India and has tied up with online grocery delivery platform Grofers to deliver its packaged and fresh products at consumers' doorsteps. Similarly, the US –based burger giant, Burger King has joined hands with Swiggy, an online food ordering application for a quick and seamless ordering experience. Swiggy will be its exclusive pan-India partner and will take care of their logistics for all 23 outlets in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi and Gurgaon.
Shivanandan Pare, Head, Trendin.com opines: "Trendin evolved from simple philosophy. We started e- retailing in March 2013 for all Madura brands and later for Pantaloons too. Citing the faster growing future segment of digital consumerism in retail industry, we came up with our online store. E-stores have great demand and potential among new generation buyers."
He adds: "Trendin has three types of customers first, analogue- analogue, where the customer sees and buys products offline, second, where customer browses online and buys offline and third digital consumers, who browses as well as buys online. The third category is fast growing and most relevant and we cater to this section of buyers."
Biz vice- versa
According to Anushree Srivastava, Deputy General Manger / IT/ New Ventures / IRCTC New Delhi, IRCTC has evolved in recent times creating avenues for one and all. Till date, the website has reached the count of Rs 13.45 lakh transactions and in future it might tie up with car ride companies too. "Apart from these, we have 1.5 lakh principle service providers on board and we are offering products like tourism and travel to the customers other than rail. I am happy to announce that big f&b giants like KFC and Mc Donald's are soon to come on board to serve our passengers," she says.

*NEWS*DOES HP HAVE $1Bn WORTH OF BULL ?
*NEWS*DOES HP HAVE $1Bn WORTH OF BULL ?
2007-07-30 at 11:29:00 am #18476
Does HP have $1bn worth of Bull ?
If you're inclined to believe published reports, then HP's set to buy French computer maker Bull.
Bull's shares jumped close to 8 per cent Thursday on speculation that HP will deliver a $1bn acquisition bid. The two companies are said to be in advanced talks, while Morgan Stanley and Freshfields help seal the deal to capture their closing fee.Bull would fit in well enough with HP's operations. The company has a strong position in the European high performance and high-end computing market. And, like HP, Bull has centered its top gear around Intel's Itanium processor.If HP felt more ambitious, it could get a bit more cash together and grab SGI as well, helping to put the Itanium "ecosystem" out of its misery.One perk that comes with buying Bull is the French life support system, although the government may be less inclined to help out the firm with a US owner in charge.

Starbucks will provide customers with wireless charging stations
Starbucks Corp., the world's largest coffee-shop operator, is teaming up with Duracell Powermat to let customers recharge mobile devices wirelessly instead of hunting for available wall outlets in stores.
Customers can place their compatible devices on so-called Powermat Spots on counters and tables to recharge them, Seattle-based Starbucks said in a statement. While shops in Boston and San Jose, Calif., already offer the service, a national rollout in company-operated Starbucks stores and Teavana outlets began in San Francisco Thursday. The company operates more than 20,500 stores worldwide.
Coffee-selling chains have long experimented with ways to encourage customers to stay longer, using music, comfortable seating and earth-toned walls. More recently, free Wi-Fi and mobile payments have been key to wooing customers attached to their smartphone devices. Starbucks began offering free Internet in 2010 and started testing a service this year that allows customers to order items ahead of time.
Duracell Powermat is a venture between Procter & Gamble Co.'s Duracell brand and closely held Powermat Technologies. Its Powermat Spots comply with the open standard set by the Power Matters Alliance, whose members include AT&T Inc., BlackBerry Ltd., HTC Corp., Huawei Technology Co. and Microsoft Corp., among others, according to the statement.
Starbucks, which operates about 4,500 stores in the U.S., fell 1.1 percent to $73.96 Thursday. The shares have dropped 4.6 percent so far this year.

"Why are we going downtown again?" My little brother asked as I buttoned up his yellow cloak for him.
"We're getting you new shoes. Your old ones are too small, remember?"
"You're taking me?"
"Uh-huh." I buttoned the last bronze button and reached up against the wall for my blue shawl. "Mom can't take you because she grounded "The Great King of Omashu" for picking on you again and Dad's at a conference today with Uncle. Sorry kiddo."
I stood up and wrapped the shawl around my shoulders and fasten the salmon whale bone clasps. The white fur on the inside tickled my neck.
I towered over my little brother. He was pretty small for his age: eight years old. Our mom said he was a late bloomer. Our dad always assured him that he was the same at his age. Our older brother called him the runt of the pack. Our older sister called him "Tiny".
I held out my hand for him to take and called out to our mother, who was in the kitchen cooking her delicious sea prunes and guarding our brother's door. "We'll see you later, Mom."
"Alright, be careful. Be back by dinner."
"Got it!" I opened the door only to feel a burning cold blast of wind. I shivered.
I couldn't stand the cold. It stung every where, as if I had touched a burning hot pot. Everyone else in my family didn't mind it, though. Mom was from the Southern Water Tribe. Dad grew up just a hundred miles north of Mom's village in the mountains. Those cold-tolerant genes definitely missed me but made it to everyone else; even Tenzin wasn't fazed by it.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said Nigerians were more deserving of the personality of the year award, which the editorial board of Vanguard conferred on him.
The editorial board of Vanguard Nigeria has conferred on former President Goodluck Jonathan the 'Personality of the Year Award' on Thursday and said Nigerians were more deserving of the recognition than him.
The multi-award winning newspaper said it singled out Goodluck Jonathan for the award because he made Nigeria join the league of nations with civilised democratic behaviour.
Vanguard also hailed him for the peaceful conclusion of the 2015 presidential election. "For the first time in the country's history, the then incumbent President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, readily conceded victory to his challenger, General Muhammadu Buhari, an act that perplexed doomsayers at home and abroad.
"President Goodluck Jonathan's finest hour came on that evening of March 30, 2015, when he called General Muhammadu Buhari and conceded the most closely fought presidential election in our history.
"Between March 28th when the presidential election took place and March 30th when ex-President Jonathan conceded, the entire nation was like a tense time bomb waiting to explode. But that patriotic action he took defused the tension and brought relief," the newspaper said.
Responding, Jonathan said: "I thank the editorial board of Vanguard Newspaper for honoring me as their personality of the year 2016. I believe that the people of Nigeria are more deserving of this honour than I am and thus dedicate it to my countrymen and women. May God bless Nigeria. GEJ."

Cooper played extended minutes on a Belmont Shore team that had much less talent than it is used to, as Grant Jerrett was not in action this weekend.
He had a few nice moves into the lane and was able to find a man, but the team was unable to convert. Cooper also hit a few jumpers and you can tell that he has potential. At this point, the biggest concern is whether or not Cooper will get his athleticism back.
If he does, there is a good chance that he will improve in all facets of his game. If not, Cooper will continue to be a point guard that is able to run an offense effectively and make solid decisions throughout the game.
We had the opportunity to see him for the first time on Saturday and there is definitely potential there. April still needs to get stronger and be a bit more aggressive, but he uses his size well and has no problem staying in the post.
April did not score a lot of points, but he knows exactly what his strengths are, as he went right to the post and shot two jumpers in a row.
It would have been nice to see April go towards the basket instead of away from it, but there is plenty of time for him to work on it.
We can definitely see April being a high major prospect and at this point, he is certainly one to keep an eye on.
Both players are different and both have their positives and negatives. Allen ran the floor very well when we saw him, drawing the defense in a few times and dishing it out.
The level of competition was not the greatest, as the game was against Belmont without Jerrett, but that still does not take away from the fact that Allen had a solid game.

The first chapter in Demon.
Spike was a demon.
Well, that's a pretty good beginning, isn't it?
Anyway, Spike was a demon, and he wasn't happy.
He had been living in Hell for years, and something had kicked him out. That's not what he was mad about though: he was mad that someone had put him there in the first place.
Now, Spike was roaming the dark and empty highway, searching for the coven of witches who had sent him to hell in the first place.
But first, he needed food. Looking around, he spotted a McDonald's in a gas station. He walked over.
The smell of french fries clung to the air as Spike walked in. Spike took a whiff and gagged. Maybe this wasn't the best idea, but he was hungry.
"Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?" the person at the counter said. He looked like he was no more than 14.
"Uh, I'll just get a big mac with a side of fries," said Spike. "Oh, and a Pepsi."
"Coming right up," said the counterman.
Spike waited at the counter and glanced down at a cup of water sitting on the counter.
"That yours?" he asked.
"Yeah," said the counterman. "We get a lot of shady people around here."
"What does that have to do with a cup of water?" asked Spike.
"Well, I'll let you in on a little secret," said the counterman. "That's not just any water, that's holy water."
"Yeah?" Spike asked, hiding a twinge of nervousness.
"Yeah," said the counterman. "You see, despite my beliefs, I have this belief that demons walk these highways. And if they ever come into my restaurant..."
"MY restaurant!" the manager called.
"...his restaurant," the counterman groaned. "I'll be ready for them. Your order."
"My what?"
"Your order, sir," said the counterman. "Big Mac, fries, and a Pepsi?"
"Oh, right," said Spike. "Thanks."
Spike tooks his meal and sat down at an empty table. He ate his Big Mac quickly, and tried to ignore the fact that the counterman was looking at him the entire time.
Once he had gulped down his soda, he threw his bags away and ran out of the restaurant. The counterman watched him as he ran into the night.
The counterman glanced at the manager.
"Go get him, T," he said.
T nodded and grabbed his car keys. He ran out of the restaurant and into his car, and hit the ignition.
"You demons are gonna need to learn to avoid demon hunters more often," he muttered to himself.

By Rick Warren

Then Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up. "There's a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?" John 6:8-9 (NLT)
Then Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up. "There's a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?" John 6:8-9 (NLT)
Whenever you have a need, acknowledge your faith by planting a seed. In other words, take your focus off your need and look at ways you can provide for the needs of others, planting a seed in their lives.
This isn't easy; it goes against our nature; it's totally illogical. If I'm out of money, I'm probably going to think, 'I can't give away any money?' Or, if I'm out of time, I'm probably going to think, 'Why should I spend more time on something else?' Or, if I don't have any energy in a relationship, I'm probably going to think, 'How can I give more energy away?'
Yet, God says this is exactly what demonstrates faith: when you have a need, you plant a seed.
You can see this principle imbedded in our blood. When you give away blood, you get more blood. You don't end up with less blood; you end up with as much blood or more than you had before.
God often works through this harvest principle, that when you have a need, you give - and what you give away, God replenishes. Faith is like a seed, so it has to be planted - deposited.
Remember the story of the little boy who had five loaves and two fish? He gives them away, and God uses it to feed 5,000 people. Jesus takes what the boy gives; He breaks it; He blesses it; and He uses it.
That's what God does in our lives. He takes us; He breaks us; He blesses us; and He uses us. He multiplied a little into a lot because it was planted as a seed.

|Clarification of PMC emails
|Thu, 18 Jan 2001 23:47:29 GMT
We had a in person PMC meeting on the 16th. This is described on the Jakarta News Page. Meeting minutes will be posted to this list soon. Part of the agreement of the meeting is that non-has-to-be-private PMC mail will be posted to the General@jakarta list in order to quell the belief that the PMC is acting in secret. "non-has-to-be-private" email is described as email for which a NDA does not need to be respected. Therefore, you will start seeing more and more email sent to the General list. The current discussion primarily relates to the discussion around what is going on with the Tomcat HEAD cvs branch. For reference see all the email on tomcat-dev over the last week or so. -jon

FIVE hours of ballet, acrobatics and weight lifting, up to 260 pounds: until a few weeks ago, that was the grueling daily training routine for Evgeny Belyaev, Anton Smirnov, Nikolay Shaposhnikov and Nikolay Titov, top-level athletes at a gymnastics school in Voronezh, near the Ukrainian border in Russia. Now it's more like: warm-up, check. Turban, check. Loincloth, check.
The four, all teenagers, are the latest and perhaps unlikeliest stars of "Désir," the new production at the Spiegeltent, the seasonal entertainment site on a pier at the South Street Seaport. Having spent most of their lives at an academy that breeds Olympic-caliber stars, they now find themselves on a 10-foot circular stage, competing not for points but for the attention of seen-it-all New York audiences as they tumble and balance and somersault and flex in ever more outlandish costumes. They get one day off a week and bunk together in a two-bedroom loft in Lower Manhattan — without a live-in chaperone. Their friends are so beyond jealous.
Physically, at least, it's not much of a challenge, the boys agreed.
"We're doing only midlevel work," said Mr. Shaposhnikov, 17, speaking in Russian. "In competition, we do more complicated stuff." But Mr. Belyaev, the elder statesman at 19, was quick to add that they weren't slacking off. "We're working on the artistry," he said, "to showcase the sport to appeal to an audience."
The show, an 80-minute spectacle with music but no dialogue, is loosely set in a fictional Parisian nightclub around the turn of the 20th century. Its structure is based on that of an 1897 Arthur Schnitzler play known as "La Ronde," about a revolving set of characters in escalating states of attraction; in this case the cast of 13 men and women consists mostly of international acrobats, and one finicky, tightrope-walking Persian cat.
"Theatrobatics!" Ross Mollison, a producer of the show, called it. The mastermind of the Spiegelworld complex, he has expanded it to include two tents ("spiegeltent" means mirrored tent in Dutch), a speakeasy-style bar on the pier, a restaurant and an open-air lounge with a D.J. The glittery outdoor setting — which cemented Spiegelworld's reputation as much as its raunchy cabaret show, "Absinthe," did — is even more so this year: all four of Olafur Eliasson's waterfalls are visible from the site.Continue reading the main story
A contemporary sort of carnival barker in sleeker clothing, Mr. Mollison, an Australian, speaks in hyperbole ("It's a sensation!") and has worked out a deal with the Seaport developers for Spiegelworld to return to Pier 17 — where the vintage 250-seat tent first arrived in 2006 — annually. "Désir" is in previews now and opens on Sunday. (Tickets are $59 to $79.) The season, including other shows, dance parties and concerts, runs until Nov. 2.
Stopping just short of breathlessness in describing his aesthetic, Mr. Mollison gushed, "What we're working with is a totally unique idea of close proximity and really sexy, beautiful-looking and incredibly talented people — entertainment that has some sort of reason apart from 'bring the clowns in because we've got to make room for the aerialist.' "
There are no traditional clowns in "Désir." The acts are inspired by performers from the 1900s to the 1930s, like Josephine Baker and Joseph Pilates, who worked in a circus before his name became synonymous with exercise.
One routine, an apache dance in which a man and a woman throw each other around, is based on a number famously done by the French entertainer Mistinguett. In 1924 she brought her apache (pronounced a-PASH) to a revue at the Winter Garden in New York; it included a moment in which she was tossed so hard that she apparently landed in the river.
There was a splash, and then the sopping wet, hopping mad lady reappeared, to the delight of audience and critics. ("A blonde of the type that led Julius Caesar to prefer the women of Gaul to the men, she has the presence of a grenadier and the commanding glance of a field marshal," John Corbin wrote in his review in The New York Times. Also, she looked pretty good in ostrich feathers.)
Given the Spiegeltent's location, perched over the East River, the act seemed a natural fit for "Désir," said the show's director, Wayne Harrison, a former artistic chief of the Sydney Theater Company.
"People don't need to know that there's a historical precedent," he added, "but if you do know something about Joseph Pilates, then maybe that adds an extra frisson to what's happening onstage." If the frisson comes in the form of laughter from audience members who recognize the choreography from their morning workout — well, c'est si bon.
Like other shows at the Spiegeltent — last year's "Vie" and "Absinthe," still running this year — "Désir" is meant to titillate. There is no hiding the attraction of the lithe young cast members, contorting their absurdly toned bodies at near lap-dance range. Whipped cream is involved. (The choreographer, John O'Connell, also worked on Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge" and the 2008 Oscars.)
At a show this week, young women in the front row could not contain themselves when Antoine Auger, a wild-haired, wildly chiseled Canadian, appeared onstage clad only in a revealing pair of briefs: they panted and giggled and fanned themselves — and this was before he did any tricks. And a rowdy group of guys in button-down shirts was silenced only when two of the leotard-clad female performers — intertwined and hanging upside down from a ring — started kissing.
"Anything that we do mustn't get in the way of the fact that we have these people who spent a good portion of their lives developing these extraordinary skills," Mr. Harrison said.
The art, then, is in the casting.
There are no auditions. Mr. Mollison, who is based in New York and Australia, and Mr. Harrison, who lives in London, said they scour YouTube and globe-hop, hand-picking performers throughout the year.
"We basically just live on jets," Mr. Mollison said. "We go to everything from burlesque shows in Brooklyn to a circus festival in the middle of China to remote Russian cities."
They have to act fast: because of increased demand for nontraditional circuses — Cirque du Soleil alone has 14 shows running and 8 in development — competition for performers is fierce. Mr. Mollison signed Mr. Auger and his partner, Geneviève Morin, immediately after watching their graduation number — as luck would have it, an apache — at the National Circus School in Montreal, a Cirque training ground.
"We snuck in before all the Cirque du Soleil people," Mr. Mollison said gleefully, "which was a really great feeling because it happens to us from time to time."
The four Russians were corralled into a group called Evolution by their trainer, Andrey Silchev, a former performer who is also a producer in Russia. He contacted Mr. Mollison through some Australian friends, and a couple of YouTube clips later, in May, Mr. Harrison was on his way to Voronezh.
Because of visa troubles, the Russians arrived in the United States just a week and a half before previews began on Aug. 7. In rehearsals they acted like the teenagers they are, punching one another during breaks and giggling when one of the Québécois performers spoke in French. (Cast members also come from Germany, Argentina, France and Australia.)
But then Mr. O'Connell would pass on his instructions —"Just ask the guys to get in their dead poses" — Mr. Silchev would translate, and they would snap to attention. Working out facial expressions — acting of any sort — is fairly new to them, and sometimes they look bored when watching their colleagues.
"In sport, you have to focus on the technical," Mr. Silchev said in Russian. "Here, you have to perform and dance and sometimes smile, plus do the technical stuff. With the music, the lights, the audience so close by and the very small stage, it's easier to get distracted."
But Mr. Titov, 18, was enthralled. "It's like another world," he marveled. That's true for the four Russians in many ways: they had never traveled outside of Russia before; Mr. Shaposhnikov had never been on a plane or seen the ocean. On their first day off, they went to Brighton Beach, the Little Odessa of Brooklyn — and were not impressed. They're hoping for more from Central Park.
The youngest, Mr. Smirnov, who says he is 16 but looks about 12, is the shyest. Even in an interview in Russian, he stared straight ahead and was mostly mute. (Asked what his favorite thing was about the experience thus far, he replied, "The architecture of the city," which drew hoots from his co-stars.)
But onstage he is the charmer: his lips pressed together in concentration, he balances on one hand, upside down and spread-legged, on the head of Mr. Titov, who is himself balanced on Mr. Belyaev and Mr. Shaposhnikov. They form a pyramid from which Mr. Smirnov launches himself, doing a double somersault inches away from the tent's ceiling; the audience applauds ferociously. At school, they can do a four-man totem with a triple somersault and two rotations. But for now, this is sensation enough.Continue reading the main story

Ratings for Dr. Jason Khadavi
Dr. Khadavi performed surgery on my feet and I could not be happier with the results. I am now so much more comfortable in shoes and love the look of my feet. The surgery was really easy and the whole experience was painless. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs foot surgery.
I have had long toes for years and was hesitant to ever have anything done. I had seen many physicians who made different recommendations, but when I saw Dr. Khadavi he explained everything very thoroughly and made me feel comfortable. He performed my surgery on both feet and did an amazing job. I have been able to continue running and doing all my activities. They look great and I feel so confident wearing sandals now. His staff is amazing as well. I highly recommend Dr. Khadavi
He screwed up my foot. I trusted him. Should have gone to an orthopedic surgeon.
I have seen many podiatrist many podiatrist for my bunions until I finally chose Dr. Khadavi. He was so knowledgable about my problems and really explained everything carefully. My procedure went well and I am very happy with the results :)
Dr. Khadavi was very knowledgable and knew exactly what my problem was. He took the time to answer all my questions until I felt comfortable with the treatment. He visually showed me exactly what he wanted to do surgically. My surgery went great and Dr. Khadavi did an amazing job. I would highly recommend Dr. Khadavi to anyone who is looking for a podiatrist.

text: Facebook seems to redesign its pages once a year almost like clockwork, and just as users get used to it they change it all over again. It looks like they've been pushing out the latest design today heavily, and I have to honestly say this is the worse change they've made so far. Usually I'm okay with their updates but something about this one just seems awful. What's worse is that they didn't even prepare users for the change like they've done before and adding features that don't really explain themselves. What is everyone else's thoughts?
