As the penultimate day of the Sports Meet celebrations got underway, 18th January was truly a day to remember. Bhagawan entered the Premamrutham Hall, interacting with all the students and devotees who had gathered and then took His seat on the throne placed in front of the stage. The evening's proceedings began with a recitation of the Mantra Pushpam by girl students of the Prashanti Balamandira High School.
After Bhagawan had blessed each of the girls and showered them with tokens of His love, the programme continued as the curtains of the stage opened to reveal a stunning backdrop of a temple. Skillfully organised by Brother Srinivas Viswanadha, the group of 160 students from eight different campuses seated in front of the magnificent backdrop was a sight to behold.
The group of girls and boys, musicians, singers and dancers offered a scintillating selection of songs in praise of the Lord, composed by various saints of Karnataka and Maharashtra. With songs rendered in Kannada and Marathi, the evening's performance was truly a tribute to devotional music of the East. These soulful renditions were interspersed with instrumental Bhajans played by students on thirteen different instruments. This included Bhajans such as: Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam, Jai Jai Bhavani Maa, Jaya Gangajatadhara Gowri Shankara and many others.
The format of this form of musical presentation has been inspired by the Aradhana Mahotsavam, a hundred-year-old tradition where musicians and singers gather to sing Kirtans composed by saints such as Tyagaraja, Annamacharya or any of the latter-day saints in South and Western India.
The students demonstrated immense talent and skill in their musical performance and their devotion shone through in each of their instrumental and vocal offerings. The heavenly evening concluded with a soulful rendition of the popular Abhang – Majhe Maher Pandhari (My mother's home is Pandharpur) with a group of young students dancing to the magical tunes of the Marathi song.
Bhagawan then joined the ensemble on stage, blessing them with interaction, photographs and tokens of His love. Mangala Arati was then offered to Bhagawan and Prasadam was distributed to all.

Balck/Mellanthin also have a significantly different appraisal of the Vosges Mountain campaign (Balck commanded Army Group G) relative to the US perspective and a different appraisal of Arracourt/halting of the US 3rd Army.
It seems that the german memoirs lacked knowledge of the opposite side so they just put down what they believed at the time, with some probable spin.

The German Ostheer as a whole were thinking the same thing by November of 1941 yet they continued to believe "superior Germanic race" emphasizing the individual soldiers "willpower" could overcome insurmountable manpower, resources and armaments as well as the Soviet winter with no winter clothing for a 1.7 million man force.
"On October 6th our HQ was moved forward to Sevsk. 4th PzD was attacked by Russian tanks to the south of Mtsensk and went through some bad hours. This was the first occasion on which the vast superiority of the Russian T34 to our tanks became plainly apparent.
"The 4th PzD's task for the 9th of October was to take Mtsensk. Descriptions of the quality and, above all, of the new tactical handling of the Russian tanks were very worrying.[Bold is mine.]
"The Russians attacked us frontally with infantry, while they sent their tanks in, in mass formation, against our flanks. They were learning." [Katukov was the tank brigade commander with experience.]
"For the first time during this exacting campaign Colonel Eberbach [cdr of the division panzer brigade] gave the impression of being exhausted, and the exhaustion that was now noticeable was less physical than spiritual. It was indeed startling to see how deeply our best officers had been affected by the latest battles." [Bold is mine]
Pretty candid assessment in a memior. n'est pas?
I should add that I picked up Balck's tactics from his memoirs and interviews post war.
I found von Mellenthin's, who served as an intel officer for Rommel in the Afrika Korps, insights to Rommel's personality and leadership methods interesting, The same is true of his knowledge of working above and under Balck from Chir River ('42) through Lvov-Sandomir Operation ('44).Last edited by R.N.

Originally posted by Cult Icon View PostIt seems that the german memoirs lacked knowledge of the opposite side so they just put down what they believed at the time, with some probable spin.
"On the Russian side the tank crews, particularly in the Motorized Corps [this is November-December '42 [when the mot. corps were being hastily assembled with lend-lease tanks], had hardly any training. This shsortcoming was one of the essential reasons for the German victory on 19 December."
"From the outset Hoth met with furisous opposition [in the relief operation for Stalingrad] from large forces of Russian tanks and infantry., under General Vatutin, one of their ablest commanders."
At note on Germans, "General Guderian says of his visit to Ninth Army: ... the ninety Porsche Tigers, which were operating with Model's army, were incapable of close-range fighting since they lacked sufficient ammunition for their guns, and this defect was aggravated by the fact they possessed no machine gun. Once they broke into the enemy's infantry zone they literally had to go quail-shooting with cannons. They did not manage to neutralize, let alone destroy, the enemy rifles and machine guns, so that the infantry was unable to follow up behind them. By the time they reached the Russian artillery they were on their own. ... Model's attack bogged down after some six miles."
This is good stuff for someone who has not been on a battlefield. I read the German memoirs and found these tidbits were fascinating, but the question I came away with, as an intelligence officer who had to understand the Soviet Army, was 'how did the Red Army win?"
The short answer is "The Red Army blasted the conventional wisdom that an army had to experience catastrophic defeat to reform after a war."[Like the Prussian Army under Scharnhorst.] The Red Army through their immediate use of war experiences changed their army in the face of catastrophic defeat. I remember from the German memoirs they often attributed to Red Army soldiers their ability to improvise--which is not an unthinking foe.Leadership is the ability to rise above conventional wisdom.

I have also read Panzer Leader by Guderian as well as the David Sathel books on Kiev, Typhoon, The Battle Of Moscow and his new book Retreat From Moscow which I am 3/4 through. I am also at the halfway point of Glantz' book Zhukov's Greatest Defeat.
Stahel uses quotes from the Guderian book many times in all 4 of the books I mentioned. Yes Guderian did "whine" about the Soviet T - 34 and KV's but as I stated here in an earlier post the Soviet tank production plants were not churning out T 34's and KV's at the time of Guderian's gripes. The Germans were lucky that this was the case or their winter flexible defensive operations, which used tank supported kampfgruppes at crisis point where the Soviets had achieved a major breakthrough with tanks and counterattacked the Soviet forces which were overextended after these breakthroughs making easy prey for the German armored counterattacks, might have had a different outcome. Had the Soviets had a much larger quantity of the T - 34's and KV's the breakthroughs could have been followed up successfully. Smaller Soviet breakthroughs with tanks were dealt with by individual German divisions with no tanks (some had StuG 3's) who also made the overextended Soviet units which was usually regimental and mostly battalion in size and made them pay dearly in blood. Whether the German crisis areas were supported with tanks or not they always zeroed in with their artillery and heavy MG's making sure their defensive positions had good fields of fire supporting each other with overlapping fields of fire not just frontal.The Germans used the terrain to accomplish this much better then the Soviet forces which were commanded at the divisional/regimental and battalion/company level by commanders with little or no combat experience at all during this period.
The new Stahel book leans more to the German side but he uses Soviet sources as well (some through Glantz' books). Zhukov's Greatest Defeat is tilted toward the Soviet sources. Both books together are ideal for a study of the 41 - 42 east front operations.
The Red Army was learning and Guderian had noticed this however they still had a long way to go.Last edited by Kurt Knispel; 23 Jan 20, 16:12.Theo mir ist die munition ausgegangen ich werde diesen ramman auf wiedersehen uns in walhalla

On a more serious note, does Glantz actually substantially rely on them, or is that a guess on your part?
That said it should be noted that all memoirs are self serving to some degree. Can't remember the specific German general, but a few years ago read how one commander proved how 'humane' he was by allowing soviet wounded to be returned to their own lines. Wounded need men to care for them, thus this act of humanity was nothing more than weakening the fighting strength of those opposing him.
Quoting my earlier post:
In other words both sides failed to achieve their positive goals, but in the final run it happened to be more harmful for Germans.
And also issues with coverage of particular tactical episodes. There is a pretty huge topic on axishistory, I don't want to dive deep into offtopic subject here.

I don't think that you have a correct idea. From autumn 1942 heavy tanks were assigned to heavy tank regiments which were equipped with either KVs and Churchillы. Or in some instances with both KV and Churchills. Presence of heavy tanks in other units could be only exceptional.

Check. Don't read memoirs .
On a more serious note, does Glantz actually substantially rely on them, or is that a guess on your part?
The Soviet Military Journal under Gorbachev ran series of articles and interviews showing the material in memoirs, such as Rokossovsky and Sandalov, that were cut out by censorship.
For most the post-war period, Soviet memoirs portrayed the Soviet Military man which would avoid faults and foibles. But occasionally one could find an inference that one commander did not think another commander and/or unit was in the right place or time or position during an operation.
Glantz used German situation maps in conjunction with the Soviet memoirs and operational studies with Soviet schematic maps to make his very valuable contribution in detailed day by day reconstruction of battles and operations.
Glantz was my mentor in introducing me to Soviet materials after I had read everything in English, and how I had to read them and cross reference--its an art form.
I just exchanged emails with him the past couple of days. He is sending me some material on katyusha rocket units that was missing pages in the Red Army General Staff Study document that I had xeroxed decades ago in his Soviet Studies Office at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. He's also working on a new book.
I should add that reading works by current Russian military historians who are making inroad to the archives, have historian methodologies of varying degrees and their citations often do not let one replicate their readings of sources to validate their interpretation. But, the archival information has been a big contribution in re-looking evaluation the eastern front.Last edited by R.N.

There was also a description somewhere on this forum Raus and Mellenthin's visited a US staff in Germany in the Cold War giving a them lecture on tactics, it's pretty indicative.
Of course, Glantz couldn't be unaware of that.
What can be stated is that Zhukov over extended himself, and was beaten as a result during this specific phase
Only 253 of 301 Churchill's reached the SU, and by 1943 many were in T-34 units as evidenced by Kursk and Desna.
What T-34 units exactly? I'm pretty sure that they were actually mostly heavy tanks regiments which were supposed to have heavy tanks by design.
It is the capability of a tank that determines which tactics that can be employed. In the Churchill case, overall it was probably the best protected tank in the Red Army, reliable compared with T-34's, agile, with excellent cross country performance. It was best used as a cutting edge weapon. In comparison, the IS-2 is a lumbering, slow reacting beast, but with a far more powerful and effective armament upon a hit. It is a follow up weapon system, as outlined in the orders this thread is about. However, unlike most KV's, the IS-2 was reliable, and also had decent flotation, and therefore, also could be used alongside medium tanks.
As you can see, 3 different heavies, but with three different uses, and therefore tactics employed.How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic: http://grist.org/series/skeptics/

Just remembered, Glantz held three or four symposiums, mid-1980s, at the Army War College in which he had German officers who had participated in the eastern front campaigns. They would make presentation on the German side of the operations with their personal observation. I recall one was Stove who wrote the history of the 1st Panzer Division. He was a panzer platoon leader in the division. He had kept the division's war journals after the war and had not turned them over the Bundes archives. He once remarked when SS Divisions were located near them, they would low ball their operational readiness so they would not have to transfer operational tanks to replace SS operational losses.Leadership is the ability to rise above conventional wisdom.
In Charles C. Sharp's "Red Hammers" Soviet Self-Propelled Artillery and Lend Lease Armor 1941 -1945, Soviet Order of Battle World War II Volume Xiii, 1998. He notes a total of 5,218 tanks from Britain/ Canada and 301 were Churchill Mark IV (Sov designation). He writes, in October 1944 the Germans counted 60 tank regiments in the Red Army order of battle (Source: probably records German High Command, "Fremde Heeres Ost" [Foreign Armies East], equipped as follows. He last two entries are:
1 with KV and Churchill tanks mixed;
1 with Churchill tanks only.
He has three pages of listed tank and mech corps with commentary none of them have Churchills, primairly Matildas and Valentines. He obviously missed 15 Churchills like those in Kravchenko's 5th TC at Desna River crossing [Source: Kravenchenko article 'Tankisty forsiruyut reki," Military History Journal Vizh 9-1963, p. 63.].
He has 16 pages listing tank regiments and tank brigades. Those with mention of Churchills as follows:
10th GTR--formed October '42 w/ Churchills, fought at Stalingrad, Stavka reserves Feb '44 reequipped with new KV tanks;
15th GTR--at Stalingrad Dec '42 with 21 Church's, Oct-Nov '43 reequipped with KV-85s;
36th GTR--by July 1943 35 Mark IV's attached to 18th TC, 5th GTA at Kursk, reequipped May-Jul '44 with IS-II;
49th GTR--formed March 43 as a heavy tank unit with 21 Mark IV's, Apr-Aug 44 reequipped with IS-II;
59th TR-- 1st Company 5 KV or Churchills.

You're going to Fail! You'll never be good enough! What were you thinking? IN creeps the self-doubt. Most of these sayings are all because of listening to toxic people, including yourself! These thoughts you have, poison your mind into thinking everything is impossible to achieve. Especially when it comes to cancer, you have to stay positive.
Everyone says bad things about themselves in their heads. If this is you and you continue to do this to yourself or allow others to do this to you, your mind will become poisoned into a state of hopelessness. Stop sabotaging your own energy and don't let others steal it. You need to start believing in yourself. Look at what you have already accomplished in your life and know that you can also, better your future.
1. Your Skills. Look at your skills, recognize them. You may not think that you have any skills, but you really do. Think of the things that people compliment you on. For instance, how nice you always look, the way you open a door for someone else, the way you can make others smile. Believe it or not these are all skills. Start looking at the things you do great now and then other things will become just as easy.
2. Your Failure. Yes, I'm sorry, but everyone does have failures in life. What makes the difference is, in the way you view them. Start viewing your failures as opportunities. The old saying is true, "If you don't try, you will never succeed!" So stop worrying about failing at something and jump in with both feet. Believe you can do it and if it doesn't work out, then chalk it up as a learned opportunity and do something else.
3. Your Mindset. It's your mind, no one else's. Give your mind permission to try something, even if you might get it wrong. If you don't try, you'll never move forward in life or make any progress. Your mind is a wonderful thing, use it and believe in yourself.
"Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve!" Quote: Mary Kay Ash
4. Your Voice. You have a voice, use it. Learn to speak up for yourself, your opinion matters just as much as anyone else's. If you're passionate about something then take control of the conversation. Don't let others make you feel bad because of what you believe in.
Zig Ziglar quoted, "Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember, the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you!"
5. Your Help To Others. When we reach out and help others, we naturally feel better about ourselves. Helping others just brings a wonderful feel of self-fulfillment inside of us. When we get thanked for this, it boosts our confidence, which in turn makes us believe, WE do have value.
6. Your Best Friend. Start becoming your own best friend. Most of the time you're probably your worst enemy. Stop telling yourself how bad you look, how terrible you are at doing things, what a looser you are. Would you really tell these things to your best friend? I think not! You wouldn't mentally abuse your loved ones or make them feel bad, so why would you do that to yourself? Start being kind to yourself, just like you would your best friend, know that you are a worthy person and give yourself some credit for that.
Jack Canfield said it best, "Self-esteem is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe it's possible and believe in yourself. Because after you've decided what you want, you have to believe it's possible and possible for you, not just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches!"

| 8.7°C Belfast
A "price war" between the big four supermarket groups looks likely after Asda announced that it will spend a further £500m cutting prices in its stores.
This latest investment comes on top of the £1bn "Project Renewal" spend promised by Asda in November 2013 to slash prices over five years.
It's another indication of the intense pressure on Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons from the German discounters, Lidl and Aldi, which now control around 10% of the UK grocery trade.
Neither Morrisons nor Aldi operates in Northern Ireland.
"We must take radical action to win back our customers," said Asda chief executive Andy Clarke. "We expect that 2016 will be another year of intense pressure at a macroeconomic level, in addition to sales remaining under strain from price deflation, a continued competitive background throughout the sector, and radically changing customer shopping habits."
Christmas was disappointing for the retailer, with sales falling 3.4%, while the three months leading to the end of September marked the company's fifth consecutive month of falling profits.
"Our eyes are open to the fact that more impactful changes and decisive action still needs to be taken to make sure we remain not only a viable business, but a strong, market-leading one," said Mr Clarke.
But a price war could spell further bad news for farmers and small producers, who say margins are being squeezed to the point that businesses are no longer viable.
On Saturday, the Belfast Telegraph revealed that a leading Co Down farmer is receiving just 14p per kilo for his potatoes - which sell in the supermarkets for £1. Robin McKee, a key figure in the campaign to win special European status for the Comber potato, said: "Prices are still a very long way from sustainability and I do not know what the answer is. Certainly, the producer has no input."
The Comber case comes after the Belfast Telegraph highlighted one Co Armagh farmer who discovered turnips which he was paid 8p for were then being sold at up to 10 times that price, and the same with carrots. The Ulster Farmers' Union says some cattle farmers are losing more than £200 a head and were suffering as a result of sustained downward pressure on prices. The UFU is organising a series of area meetings across the province this month to attempt to tackle the low price crisis.

Does the Intelligent Vehicle Systems a stunt or a humanized configuration
With the rapid development of auto industry,Auto drive automatically and intelligent get the favor from more and more consumers,sourcing the reason,the two main aspect is expressed in the convenient and fun for driving and strenghten the car's security
Speaking from the driving convenience first,the appearance of AG is a Epoch-making marks of automobile history,it make more people like driving and dare driving. Automatic models always be called as"Idiot"models,though the convenience of automatic modes make more people start to accept it.Looking from the native automobile market,the automatic model of the same level is better than Lxi MT.Even in European that always advocating Lxi MT,it's began to change these years.Lxi MT was accepted by more people step by step,This convenience is needed by all drivers,don't anyone wont make their drive become more freely?
Secondly, speaking from the automobile security aspect,more and more automatic and intelligent configuration make automobile more safety now,ABS,EBD etc,always become the standard configuration of all vehicles.and the contribution of ESP to automobile security is far greater than the protection of 10 airbags to drivers.Such safety device for any driver who will hope it's the more, the better.
Get the wrong sedan,Married the wrong man
Entry in 21 century,the development direction of automobile have trended for more intelligent,have the meaning of making automobile become the members of the autobots in < The Transformers> ,In the <007>series movie,Bond's seat could been the representative masterpiece of intelligent car.It relies on various special function,become the infatuation objects of many auto fans pursuing,the automatic drive function even appeared in early<007>movie car.But in reality life,do we need this intelligent car?Leaving the cost problem,only speaking from the function,who need automatic drive and let him avaliable to deal with the competitors who pursuit you?Anyone need automobile to be the weapon of deal with competitors?There maybe no one need it except "Bonds"
Of course,this example is a little extremly,Seeing from the reality,there are sill some one need some intelligent system,such as newers who get the license right now.One set parking assistang system,one set braking assistant system could indeed excuse the tension and embarresment from these newers.it could also strenghthen the confidence of driving,reduce the accident happen,But the problem is that these intelligent system are originated from famours brand,and many more are the "Noble"of famous brand.Most new drivers could just looking these"Noble"disappoint,the people who have chance to use this intelligent system are who have many years experience handy man.even some of them are professional driver.The intelligent system seems havent any use at all, This phenomenon has led to the embarrassment of the new system couldn't get application which developed greatlyly by car makers.So,for the car makers,who really need intelligent system,who really make their good item to express the maximum function,It's really a problem. Judging from the current,in the real Volkswagen model,the equipped above intelligent models is really very rare,and the price is also vey high,The real-need person helpless except envy,Afterall,the consumer who purchase Volkswagen pay more attention to price,not configuration
The driving skills in degeneration now
In the movie of< Robot Story, >,the last human' all activity dependent on their seat in the spaceship,In fact,we could also look their seat as automobile,that's a highly intelligent automobile.The human only need to press the romote controller to achive any target.But when the incident happens again,what could the human do?it's hard to turn over,not to mention to solve the problem. that's the end result of automobile intelligent brings to us.

YG Acoustics will soon be releasing a new, passive version of its well-established Kipod II Signature speaker—a partially-active design. The official release of the passive version will be at CES in January, 2013, so TAS readers are getting a scoop here.
The new version is called Kipod II Signature Passive—sensibly enough. It has the same drivers and the same enclosures as the current production Kipod. The only difference is the new version's bass module does not have its own, on-board, powered amplifier. Both the partially-active and fully-passive versions of the Kipod II Signature will be offered to consumers concurrently, and at the same price: $38,800. I wondered about the manufacturing cost difference between the two versions until I got a good look at the new cross-over. The parts- and build quality of the new cross-over—which fits onto the same sized rear cabinet plate as the active bass amp does—appear to fully justify the same pricing for both the active and passive models. (For all I know, the Passive costs more to build.)
The existing Kipod II Signature offers users the ability to relieve the main power amplifier of having to power the bass module and also to tailor the bass response—via a fully adjustable, dedicated, on-board bass amp—to suit the applicable room and user's taste. According to YG, the new Kipod II Signature Passive offers slightly better phase coherence among all the drivers and will work well in most medium to small rooms.
I had the privilege of visiting the YG factory shortly after RMAF concluded in mid October and got a brief preview of the yet-to-be-released Kipod II Signature Passive. What can I say about the Passive right now? Well...a lot of research and testing went into its development. The cross-over weighs considerably more than the dedicated amp in the partially active version does, the cross-over has top shelf parts (Mundorf MCap Supreme S/G capacitors, and YG's own custom-made toroidal coils, for example), and the same perfectionist machining that goes into YG's flagship Anat III Signature goes into the Kipod II Sig. and Passive. The sound of the Kipod II Signature Passive was fantastic: ample—but unforced—details, very good rendering of complex, overlapping elements, and excellent dynamic qualities (macro impact as well as subtle micro shadings). I will be reviewing the new Passive soon, so please stay tuned for my full review on this promising new release from Yoav Geva—the Y and G in YG Acoustics.
The YG factory is a fascinating place. The variety of high-precision metal CNC machines, and their apparent efficiency, are impressive. Most of the machines were shipped from Germany. Yoav Geva is a certified machinist, himself (at a fairly high level, too.). The tolerances YG is able to achieve with its CNC machines and skilled staff are within an impressive 0.0008" (20 microns) over an entire finished piece—in some cases. (Some surfaces can be machined to an even smaller tolerance.) YG uses tempered aircraft-grade aluminum (T-6061, I believe) for its cabinets, driver cones (except in the Carmel model), internal braces, custom fasteners, spikes and feet.
Please look for the full review of the Kipod II Signature Passive in a future issue of TAS.

When Don Corleone agrees to grant a favor to the neighborhood funeral director in the first Godfather movie, the Don is creating a future obligation on the part of the undertaker (and certainly one he won't be able to refuse). It's not only the power of the Don that exerts the influence, though – it's the power of reciprocity.
Wanting to reciprocate for something we're given is a deeply rooted cultural norm; when we get something, we feel it's only proper to give something back. This overarching worldview, says psychologist Robert Cialdini, is common to every culture, in every part of the globe. The rule, he says, is drilled into us as children, "…essentially thou shall not take without giving in return." Continue reading →

Why Perengo decided to join TMP Worldwide – the global leader in talent acquisition
We are excited to announce that Perengo is joining TMP Worldwide.
Since starting Perengo in 2015, it was always our goal to accelerate the pace of innovation in the recruitment space. From the beginning, our approach was to introduce state-of-the-art adtech to the recruitment world to solve candidate sourcing efficiently at high scale.
Both our technology as well as our team will be integrated into the TMP organization and we'll work together on our shared vision for the talent acquisition market. We are thrilled at the opportunity to expose our work to a much larger audience and help the world's largest and most ambitious employers solve their recruitment challenges.
Perengo will continue to serve its existing clients and will be made available as part of TMP's platform offering to its customers.
The Past: Recruitment Before Programmatic Technology
Perengo's business model is based on the following insight: The labor market is an inefficient marketplace. Recruiters are having trouble to hire talent while unemployment rates have been between 3.5% – 6% since 2015.
Inefficient marketplaces are the sweet spot of adtech – using technology to match and optimize supply and demand. Based on the previous experience of our founding team, we decided to tackle this problem from a B2B angle and started to focus on recruiters and recruitment marketers.
Common challenges of recruitment are:
- Volume: Sourcing enough candidates is challenging and volumes are difficult to predict
- Quality: Finding the right fit of candidates is not easy
- Time: Recruiting is time consuming due to manual workflows and repetitive tasks
- Tracking: Generating useful insights about recruitment bottlenecks and improvement opportunities requires a dedicated setup
- Cost: Budgeting for recruitment campaigns is problematic as success attribution is laborious
High-scale and high-efficiency recruitment is Perengo's sweet spot. This is where our technology was able to create the most value and where we started gaining significant traction.
The Present: Programmatic Recruitment Is the New Normal
Just a couple years ago programmatic technology was a fringe word in the recruitment space. Much has changed since.
As a whole, the talent acquisition market is seeking to move towards workflow automation across all steps of the candidate journey. This trend follows similar developments in other industries such as ecommerce and app marketing, where much of the work is done by the marketing stack.
Employers are requesting automated and cost-optimized job ad distribution as a standard feature from their agencies and job board partners. It is a huge improvement over manual distribution.
Along those lines, the partnership ecosystem is evolving in the right direction. Many job boards have adopted performance pricing models such as CPC (cost per click) and CPA (cost per action/applicant) to increase transparency. Another major improvement are the standardized ways in which advertisers (employer/agency/etc.) and publishers (job boards) exchange data.
All of the mentioned trends above are key building blocks which help the industry to become more efficient, transparent, and performant.
The market is getting ready for the next phase in its evolution.
The Future: Platforms, Data, and End-to-end Candidate Engagement
To predict the future of the talent acquisition market, it helps to look at analogous markets which have gone through similar phases in the past. In e-commerce, we've seen a steady shift towards full automation from programmatic distribution of ads to fully integrated customer data platforms which help advertisers to reach audiences along the entire customer journey.
We are moving towards a similar development in recruitment marketing where employers will be able to reach talent across all touch points. The logical solution is a unified platform where employers can manage all their talent acquisition workflows and all data.
Data as the key to success
If the entire candidate journey is captured in a unified platform, then employers have a centralized hub for data collection, analysis, and activation. This 360 perspective carries the following benefits:
- Proper Attribution: Compare the real cost of different sourcing channels.
- Better Investment: Allocate recruitment budgets in the most effective way.
- Data Insights: Apply learnings across the entire candidate journey.
Given TMP shared our vision and drive to accelerate the pace of innovation in talent acquisition technology, they were the perfect partner to continue our journey with. With TMP's acquisition of Perengo, its platform becomes an integral part of the future TMP recruitment solution. Exciting times are ahead and now off to the next chapter.
In conclusion, we also would like to thank all our clients, partners, mentors and families who have supported us during the past years. Thank you for believing in us, without you this journey would have been impossible.
This is just the beginning, there is more to come.
Onward and upward. 🚀

The Power of the Rings is the 144th chapter of Akira Amano's Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Dying Will Flames light up on Tsuna's Vongola Ring as he states his resolve to protect Kyoko. Tazaru notes the change in Tsuna's Flame, and notes it may be harder for him to try to kill Tsuna. Tazaru opens his Box Weapon, Dark Slicer. Tsuna uses Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition on the Box Weapon and freezes it. Back in Gokudera's battle, Gokudera has lit his Vongola Storm Ring, and opens his box, which contained the Box Weapon Flame Arrow, Gokudera is confused on how to use it until the Box Weapon asks for bullets in Italian. Gokudera uses his Dynamite as ammo as a result, firing at Nosaru. Nosaru expresses his confusion, saying that he didn't feel anything from the attack. However, Nosaru falls from the air, revealing that the attack extinguished his Flames. As Nosaru prepares to attack again, Gokudera compresses the Flames more tightly and fires at Nosaru again, the latter screaming in agony. As Tazaru expresses his shock at Tsuna using Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition, Tsuna attacks once more, his punch infused with Dying Will Flames. As Tazaru goes flying back, Gokudera watches and gives Tsuna a thumbs-up from afar. He then notices Haru, I-Pin, and Lambo collapsed on the ground, causing him to frantically ask Yamamoto why they came from the past as well.

This post is brought to you by Invictus MD (OTC: IVITF) (TSXV: IMH).
We're in a thrilling time for the cannabis industry. As more and more regions end prohibition and embrace legalization – including states across the U.S., all of Canada, and countries around the world – the market is developing and investors are seeing a rising number of opportunities to get involved and score big.
But investors are also understandably wary of certain aspects of the industry. The legal challenges it faces, as well as the simple fact that it's a new and untested market, has made some investors who are eager to get into the action seek methods of protecting their outlay. One such method involves investing in a cannabis stock that pays dividends. At this point, there are only a handful of companies that have seen the success necessary to offer this, including Invictus MD (OTC: IVITF) (TSXV: IMH).
Protect Your Investment by Earning Cannabis Dividends
In case you're unfamiliar, a dividend is essentially a regular payment out of a company's profits that are given to stockholders. There is obviously more to it than that, but for our purposes here that's all you need to know.
So essentially, you invest in a cannabis stock, the company grows, and you reap regular payments rather than waiting until you sell-off to see returns. This is a great way to bring in money consistently while offsetting market fluctuations.
But for a company to pay dividends, it must already be seeing a profit. At this stage in the cannabis industry's development, this is rather rare – it takes time for companies to go from red to black.
There is one company, however, that is already seeing profits and paying dividends – Invictus MD (OTC: IVITF) (TSXV: IMH).
Why Invictus MD Is Able to Pay Dividends
So why has Invictus MD been one of the few cannabis stocks to pay dividends? Simply put, it's because the company has made a number of smart business moves.
A couple of years ago, Invictus MD (OTC: IVITF) (TSXV: IMH) acquired a 20% stake in the hydroponic service company Future Harvest, and over time they've increased their ownership in the business. Future Harvest proved to be highly successful, resulting rapid revenue increases, and prompting Invictus to create a spinoff company that will double the number of its shareholders' stock. Then a smart sale of Future Harvest's lightening division brought in a 350% ROI (in just 11 months), the proceeds of which not only allowed the company to grow its fertilizer division, but to pay out $1 million in dividends to shareholders.
As mentioned above, this kind of dividend payout is extremely rare in the cannabis industry, and as it stands now you can count the number of companies that do pay dividends on one hand – Invictus is one such company.
And what's more, Invictus's shareholders are poised to see ongoing dividends as the company continues to grow and prosper.
Bottom line – investors who hold stock in cannabis companies that pay dividends are already seeing best-in-market returns, and they're positioned to enjoy further payouts as the industry continues its expansion.
So if you're looking to invest and earn in the cannabis industry, the smart money is on the few companies that are already paying dividends.

The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition finished last night. In spite of three inches of snow in Charleston on Friday night, the show was well attended. Snow is almost unheard of in this area - so it was a real novelty for the local kids.
The highlight of my weekend was being invited to show at the Horton Hayes Fine Art Gallery, one of Charleston's finest galleries. http://www.hortonhayes.com/ So if you missed SEWE, you can see my work at Horton Hayes, 30 State Street, Charleston, S.C.
Now I'm at Ace Basin, which is where the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers converge. I'm here with artists Melanie Fain, Joe Garcia and Virginia Vaughan.
We're here to teach a workshop for South Carolina's Junior Duck Stamp Winners - and to spend a couple of days painting. This area has been an inspiration for my work for many years. There is a promise of rain for most of the today but the weather will clear tomorrow, in time for me to spend some time painting and to recharge my batteries.
In two weeks, Joe and I will be teaching a three-day oil/watercolor workshop at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona. If you're interested in this workshop, there's information on the workshop section of my website, http://www.adeleearnshaw.com/

Round Seven
"You should have heard me out, wyrm," Fanax offers, as steps up next to Oni to stab and slash at Vumrot with his sword and axe. Neither weapon connects with its mark.
The blue shaded area represents a bank of dense fog which obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can't use sight to locate the target).
White squares represent the valley floor. It's reasonably flat (flat enough not to affect movement or combat). Brown dots represent ordinary trees. A creature standing in the same square as a tree gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class and a +1 bonus on Reflex saves (these bonuses don't stack with cover bonuses from other sources). The presence of a tree doesn't otherwise affect a creature's fighting space, because it's assumed that the creature is using the tree to its advantage when it can. The trunk of a typical tree has AC 4, hardness 5, and 150 hp. A DC 15 Climb check is sufficient to climb a tree.
Grey stippling represents boulders and rocks of size significant enough to affect movement. They are "dense rubble." It costs 2 squares of movement to enter a square with dense rubble. The DC of Balance and Tumble checks on dense rubble increases by 5, and the DC of Move Silently checks increases by +2. As a result of the movement penalty, dense rubble counts as difficult terrain; you can't run or charge through it.
Orange squares and yellow squares are light undergrowth. A space covered with light undergrowth costs 2 squares of movement to move into, and it provides 20% concealment. Undergrowth increases the DC of Tumble and Move Silently checks by 2 because the leaves and branches get in the way, but the concealment enables Hide checks.
Dark grey squares represent the hillside. At all times, you may assume that the hillside represents a "steep slope," on which the downhill side is toward the nearest white square. Characters moving uphill (to an adjacent square of higher elevation) must spend 2 squares of movement to enter each square of steep slope; as a result, you cannot run or charge uphill. Characters running or charging downhill (moving to an adjacent square of lower elevation) must succeed on a DC 10 Balance check upon entering the first steep slope square. Mounted characters make a DC 10 Ride check instead. Characters who fail this check stumble and must end their movement 1d2×5 feet later. Characters who fail by 5 or more fall prone in the square where they end their movement. A steep slope increases the DC of Tumble checks by 2.
Dots on the hillside are also trees, with mechanical effects identical to those already described.
The darkest area of the hillside represents a cliff, roughly 40 feet high. A cliff typically requires a DC 15 Climb check to scale. This cliff is not perfectly vertical. For every 20 feet you ascend, you will automatically move 5 feet into its area. If you fail your Climb check by 4 or less, you make no progress. If you fail by 5 or more, you fall from whatever height you have already attained.
The interior of the cavern has natural stone floors. It takes 2 squares of movement to enter a square with a natural stone floor, and the DC of Balance and Tumble checks increases by 5. Running and charging are impossible, except along paths. The walls and ceiling of the cavern are unworked stone. It takes a DC 15 Climb check to move along an unworked stone wall.
23 - Fanax (Blue 1)
22a - Grimvaalk (Blue 3)
22b - Vumrot (Red)
21 - Oni (Blue 5)
20 - Zathrus (Blue 6)
18 - Gorx (Blue 2)
07 - Yonah (Blue 4)
It is currently Grimvaalk's turn.
Fanax has taken 5 points of damage.
Oni has taken 11 points of damage.
Yonah has taken 18 points of damage.
Zathrus's force screen has 26 rounds remaining.
Vumrot has taken 37 points of damage.

Powder perfect
Ella Tan | On 31, Jan 2015
It's so hot and humid in Singapore that on particularly hot days it feels as if the makeup is melting right off my face!
My trick to fighting the humidity and controlling the grease is to always powder my face to 'lock' my makeup in place. My current powder obsession is Bobbi Brown's Sheer Finish Pressed Powder.
This long-lasting, sheer powder creates a smooth and flawless finish. It is buttery soft and doesn't give a lot of coverage but is perfect for setting foundation and mattifying the skin. It is oil-free and oil-absorbing, perfect for my combination skin and for touch ups as well because it is so lightweight that no matter how much you apply, it won't appear cakey. This formula comes in a loose form as well but I personally prefer the pressed version as it is more compact, comes with a powder puff and is easier to carry in my handbag.

WARNING: Contents of this blog may cause readers to ponder and analyse what I'm trying to say. This is not safe, as this is an entry about random rants that has been fueling me for a very long while now. So if you think it's you, you might either be wrong. If you think it's something that concerns you, that's probably wrong as well. And if you think you know what's going on, that wont definitely be the case. I'm sorry. If you still want to read, go on. If not, go study or clean your room or something.
People say that when someone is open, talks alot and shares alot, they provide alot of windows for other people to see through them. They say that we reveal ourselves too much when we talk alot. But then, there are those who reveal something that doesn't really provide anything at all. Instead, it almost becomes a defence mechanism so that we don't become vulnerable to what anyone says.
Nevertheless, bare in mind that not everything everyone says are true. Not everything is a life either. So maybe the safe stand point would be to believe moderately, not too much and not too little.
I've been a very open person and also secretive. Some people find this appealing, some people not. Thing is I don't really give a shizznit. I say what I want to say and I keep to myself whatever i want to remain undisclosed. Its just part of life. You assimilate.
Anyway, having said that, I love friends who laugh at the stuff I say and despise anyone who thinks mu humor is just an indicative of naivety. Earlier this week, I slightly realised that I seem to not be able to restrict myself from getting annoyed. But when I think about it, it's not all me. I mean alot of the stuff people say, I don't really give a crap, and I know they feel the same way for me. So I don't get what the problem is. Also, I'm used to the more often than never, occasional embarrassment, it's me. But when people start behaving oddly in response to the certain presence of other people, it's just not on. Not cool. I mean, if that's how much they don't like themselves, then I'm afraid these people need help. Facades are good, yes, but when you are with your friends you don't need that. Cause whoever you are, you're accepted. You can talk about your periods and other wierd childish stuff like that, and you will still be the same.
I guess what I'm saying is, there's no need to pretend.

WidgetView.LayoutMode Property
Gets or sets the current layout mode for this WidgetView.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.Widget
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v20.1.dll
public LayoutMode LayoutMode { get; set; }
Public Property LayoutMode As LayoutMode
Property Value
A LayoutMode enumerator value that specifies the current layout mode for this WidgetView.
The LayoutMode property allows you to choose a layout mode for the current WidgetView.
In LayoutMode.StackLayout mode, the View's layout is built by StackGroup objects. These groups can be either vertical or horizontal, depending on the WidgetView.Orientation property. For each Stack Group, you can set either the absolute length in pixels, or a star-measured relative length that specifies how much wider or narrower this group is compared to other groups. The figure below illustrates a sample WidgetView with the Stack Layout mode applied.
In LayoutMode.TableLayout mode, the View's WidgetView.Orientation property is ignored and the layout is formed by row and column sets. These rows and columns, represented by the RowDefinition and ColumnDefinition objects, are stored in the zero-based indexed WidgetView.Rows and WidgetView.Columns collections respectively. To place a Document into the specific table cell, use the Document.RowIndex and Document.ColumnIndex properties to set the indexes of the required row and column. Each Document can also stretch vertically and/or horizontally over multiple neighboring cells, depending on its Document.RowSpan and Document.ColumnSpan property values. The following figure demonstrates a Table Layout WidgetView.
In LayoutMode.FlowLayout mode, widgets follow each other according to the specific flow direction (see the FlowLayoutProperties.FlowDirection property). This mode supports content wrap that specifies whether a widget should start a new column (row) if the previous widget has reached the View border. To tweak this layout mode, use properties stored within the WidgetView.FlowLayoutProperties section. The figure below illustrates a Flow Layout, applied to the WidgetView.
- The Free Layout Mode imposes no restrictions on how to organize your widgets and allows you to build any desired layout. Also, this is the only layout mode that fully supports floating widgets.
See the Widget View topic for the details.
