That local rock group down the street that's trying hard to learn their song?
Well, that local rock group is me. I play drums in a Monkees cover band.
Please note that I did not say "tribute" band. The Stepping Stones do not try to re-create the Monkees experience. We do not wear matching red, double-placket shirts. Our lead guitarist does not wear a green woolly hat.
We are not like the Missing Links, a band out of Los Angeles that won the coveted Cloney Award, given by the International Guild of Celebrity Impersonators and Tribute Artists.
We are not like Pleasant Valley Sunday, another Monkees tribute band from Southern California that actually performs with a laugh track.
I like to think of us as the Monkees meet the Smithereens — and then go have a few beers. We're in it for the music, man.
That can be a gutsy thing to say, since to many people the Monkees were a fake band created for TV by The Man to siphon money from the pockets of teenage Beatlemaniacs. Which they sort of were, but . . .
"I think I can shorthand this really quickly for you," says Monkees singer and drummer Micky Dolenz when I reach him by phone aboard the limo that's taking him to LAX. "The closest thing that's come along to the Monkees is 'Glee,' which is a television show about an imaginary glee club, but they go on the road and they can sing, dance and act. So 'The Monkees' was a television show about an imaginary band that lived in this imaginary beach house — which was a set — and yet we could sing and dance and act and play.
"There's another reference I can give you. . . . Did you see the movie 'Galaxy Quest'? It's the cast of a TV show like 'Star Trek.' They're doing the autograph shows and then the aliens come down and think they're real and say 'Come and save our universe.'
"That is what happened with the Monkees. The fans said, 'We want you to be real.' We said okay. It's a really, really interesting phenomenon."
Adds Dolenz: "Mike [Nesmith] always described it as Pinocchio really becoming alive."
So by playing in a Monkees cover band, I'm a real boy pretending to be a puppet that's pretending to be a real boy. Unless I'm a puppet pretending to be a real boy who's pretending to be a puppet.
But what a puppet! The Monkees — Dolenz, Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones — had some of the country's greatest tunesmiths writing for them: Carole King, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Carole Bayer Sager, Neil Diamond, Harry Nilsson. . .
For their earliest hits, most of the music was recorded by the Wrecking Crew, the famed L.A. session band that featured Hal Blaine on drums.
So, how does one become a Monkees drummer?
"I guess the first thing would be you've got to learn really, really quickly," says Dolenz. "I played Spanish classical guitar when I was a kid. . . . Then they cast me as the drummer and I said, 'Okay. Where do I start learning?' "
Dolenz says it was just like when he was a child actor and was cast as the title character in the 1950s TV show "Circus Boy."
"They said, 'You're going to ride an elephant.' I said 'Okay. Where do I learn?' "
Which was harder: learning to play the drums or learning to ride an elephant?
"Riding the elephant. Definitely."
Dolenz says he paid close attention to Blaine and the other session drummers who worked on Monkees albums.
"I learned what I had to learn for the Monkees," he says. "Pop music, basically: 4/4 time. Boom chaka, boom chaka. It's a lot more to do with emotion than necessarily technique. But that can mostly be said for rock-and-roll. You've got to be into it. You've got to get in the groove. The grooves aren't complicated."
It's funny that of arguably the two most famous drummers of the 1960s, one was sometimes criticized for being not a very good drummer (Ringo Starr) and the other was criticized for not being a very real drummer.
"They got that it wasn't a band," Dolenz says of the Beatles' reaction to the Monkees. "John Lennon was the one who said, 'The Moonkees are the Mocks Broothers.'"
(He says this in a Liverpool accent.)
Of course, it's possible to like both. The Monkees did. So did the Beatles. During the "Sgt. Pepper's" sessions, Dolenz was invited by Paul McCartney to Abbey Road studios, where he watched the Beatles work on "Good Morning, Good Morning." (He covers it on his new solo album, "Remember," which he describes as "an audio scrapbook of songs that meant something to me.")
So there's something fitting about the Monkees coming to town — they'll be at the Warner Theatre on Sunday — barely a week after McCartney played at Nationals Park. They'll be without their bona fide mop-topped Englishman, Jones, who died in 2012. ("We still pay tribute, shall we say," Dolenz says of his late Monkeemate.)
I worry sometimes that much of the appeal of being in a Monkees cover band comes from a certain kitschiness: an uncool thing made cool by admitting its artifice and inbuilt irony. Did the Sex Pistols cover the Monkees' "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" because they really liked the song or because nothing is funnier than the Sex Pistols playing the Monkees?
And yet I think the music is great — and great fun to play, even if we don't wear woolly hats. Not just the Brill Building hits everyone has heard, but little oddities like Harry Nilsson's "Cuddly Toy" and Mike Nesmith's psychedelic "Daily Nightly" or his proto country-rock originals. Even the album "Headquarters," on which the Monkees actually did play their own instruments.
I refuse to think I am suffering from musical Stockholm syndrome.
What's funny is that the Monkees were created, marketed, celebrated, excoriated and broken up long before I became a fan. For fans of my age, a lot of pop and rock music is like that, existing in what I think of as Tralfamadorian time, after those aliens in "Slaughterhouse-Five" for whom all of history exists simultaneously.
I ask Dolenz about that.
"I'm a big history buff," he says. "There's something that I stumbled across not long ago, this idea that since the advent of recorded music, recorded film, recorded sound and action, time to some degree has become a little bit immaterial in the world of entertainment. People live on. They really do. And not just the people but their whole zeitgeist can live on."
We now have the ability to capture time, he says.
"And to capture the emotions of the time, which is what we were doing anyway. We're not selling plastic. We're selling the emotions that have been magically, miraculously encapsulated on that vinyl or on that celluloid."
Appearing Sunday at the Warner Theatre.
Appearing Aug. 10 at the Golden Bull Grand Cafe in Gaithersburg.

Los Rios Golf Club in Plano is where the great traditions of golf are blended with the wonders of modern country club living.
The golf course at Los Rios has an outstanding history in the Dallas area having been designed in 1974 by Texas golf legend Don January. The traditional layout spreads over 220 acres and features tree-lined fairways and generous sized Bermuda greens. The natural terrain for this 6,507 yard, par-71 course is studded with Live Oak trees and etched by the waters of a meandering creek that comes into play on 14 of 18 holes. Eight glistening ponds are found throughout the course, adding an additional test for golfers. The trees narrow the fairways providing you with an unforgettable round that challenges your skills.

This is an artist's rendition of Rosetta's closest approach to Earth during its second swing-by of our planet on 13 November 2007. The image shows the fly-by configuration as seen from above.
The second Earth swing-by in November 2007 was Rosetta's third major step on its 10-year journey to comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In swinging by Earth, the spacecraft gained the right amount of energy from Earth's gravity to save precious fuel for later on.
Closest approach during the second Earth swing-by took place on 13 November 2007 at 21:57 CET, when Rosetta will sped past at 45 000 km/h (about 12.5 km/s) relative to Earth. At this time, Rosetta was 5301km above the Pacific Ocean, south-west of Chile, at 63° 46' south and 74° 35' west.
During this Earth swing-by, a few experiments both on the orbiter and the Philae lander were activated for calibration, science measurements and imaging. Rosetta first pointed towards Earth and then to the Moon for the observations.

A La Carte & Art Captures Bay Area Food Culture
Mountain View Festival Showcases Global Classics & California Creativity
Just as Silicon Valley is a melting pot of ethnicities and cultures, Mountain View's A La Carte & Art is a colorful fusion of international cuisines. Secret family recipes, regional classics, and contemporary culinary twists will be on the menu at the festival, taking place May 1-2, from 10a.m. to 6p.m., along Castro Street.
Anybody who knows a little Spanish knows that me gusta means "I like," and this year's new Mexican food vendor, Me Gusta Gourmet Tamales, is sure to live up to its name. Hand-made tamales are filled with a choice of chicken, beef, pork, ancho chiles and cheese, veggies, sweet corn, or pineapple. Refreshing aguas frescas are offered in lemon, strawberry-lemon and orange, and of course there's the traditional cinnamon-y sweet rice drink, horchata.
Stop by Gaspachos USA and get a taste of Mexican history. According to legend passed down in the Michoacán city of Morelia, when the Spaniards conquered the Aztec Empire they craved the cool chunky tomato soup—gazpacho—of their homeland. Unable to find tomatoes, they improvised with tropical fruit, and thus was born the traditional Mexican gaspacho (with an "s"). But history tells us either Columbus or the conquistador Cortés brought tomatoes to Europe from the West, so was it the Aztecs who influenced the Spaniards?! You'll have the chance to experience this traditional Mexican gaspacho made with mango, pineapple, jicama, orange juice and chile powder. Or try the mangonada (mango with sweet-and-sour chamoy sauce and chile powder) mango-on-a-stick (made zippy with lime and chile powder), smoothies and fruit cups with strawberries from their family farm in Watsonville.
"Farm food for humans" is the tag line of Chicken and the Farm, where farm-fresh chicken—wings and boneless "chicky bites"— comes with a choice of 22 sauces, such as sweet wasabi, lemon pepper, honey walnut and ginger-sesame. The loaded fries have six variations, with everything from smoked meats to blue cheese and green onion. Vegetarians will enjoy food from the farm as well, with fried cauliflower bites topped by any of the sauce options.
Teriyaki is the sauce that has made Stick-N-Grill a popular festival destination. The sizzling skewers come with the option of rice or noodles, or in a wrap with crunchy vegetables. Hawaii BBQ offers a Pacific islands version of teriyaki, with kebabs of chicken or pork marinated in a secret family recipe and accompanied by jasmine rice.
Seafood is the main attraction at Gourmet Faire, with its lucious crab rolls and crab fries. Offerings also include chicken tenders, corn dogs and garlic fries.
At Lemoine Crêperie, the longstanding French outpost at festivals around the Bay, you can indulge your Nutella craving, or possibly develop a new one for cherries and whipped cream. Or tuck into a traditional ham and cheese savory crêpe . . . and return later for the decadent one.
Hot & Sizzling Grill serves the Middle Eastern version of stuffed delights—pita bread filled with grilled chicken, lamb or falafel, and drizzled with traditional tzatziki sesame sauce. They also offer grilled sausages and crispy fries.
At Aroma Concessions everything is big on size and flavor. Sandwiches come piled with tri-tip or sausages, turkey legs require two hands to maneuver, and fried oysters, calamari, zucchini and artichokes are addictively crispy and succulent.
Totally Nutz, new to the festival this year, promises to draw a crowd with the intoxicating aroma of fresh-roasted cinnamon-glazed almonds, pecans and cashews.
The Roasted Corn has something for everyone, from seafood combos with fried shrimp, fish and calamari, to veggie combos, chicken strips and funnel cakes.
California Corn Roast will lure you in with just a whiff of their fresh roasted corn and bacon-wrapped hot dogs. What a combo!
Kona Ice has an island-inspired truck with twelve flavors of Hawaiian shave ice that can be mixed to create up to 100 original flavors. You can go wild with the flavors and still know you're only getting 25 calories per serving and a dose of vitamins C and D as well. Later in the day when you're ready for more, check out Hawaiian Shave Ice, where the frozen fare also includes ice cream.
Soft serve ice cream fans head over to Twisted K's for classic chocolate or vanilla, exciting flavors like pumpkin pie and blue goo (tastes like birthday cake), or dole whip (dairy free and totally pineapple-y).
And what's a festival without Kettle Corn? A La Carte & Art boasts two booths—Sandy's Pop Shop and Old Fashion Kettle Corn—so be sure to indulge.

Does Temperature Affect Musical Instruments?
According to renowned music instrument manufacturers, the temperature will affect the sound of your instrument in different ways. Every instrument is affected in a different manner, but the experts also say that even player's abilities are affected by temperature changes. Warmer or colder temperature will change the manner in which the strings are pulled on the bowl. Instruments are said to expand or contract during warmer or colder conditions, and therefore their tension is affected. These changes also affect the player's interaction with the instrument.
A piano's bushings tend to expand or contract during high or low-temperature conditions. Such expansions and contractions will increase or decrease the time between when you hit a key and when the harmer hits the string. Whether it is sluggishness or nimbleness, a musician will lose the real touch of the playing experience required. If you are a musician or you often play a musical instrument at home, perhaps you have encountered such situations severally. However, how do you prevent such unwelcoming occurrences from happening too often whenever using your instrument?
The most common method to correct temperature-related issues is through tuning the actions or the strings, adding lubrication in certain spots, or changing the way you play the instrument. For those living in the colder cities of Canada, you don't need to struggle every time to tune your instrument due to low-temperature effects on your violin, piano, or guitar. Did you think of making use of space heaters to enjoy an optimum temperature regulation for both comfortable living and playing your instrument?
Mostly, space heaters are used to warm up living rooms. Very few have thought of heating their house to maintain a temperature suitable for playing an instrument. Whether you use the instrument in the office or at home, a space heater can be an ideal option to create a perfect environment where you can enjoy playing your instrument.
Apart from regulating the temperature in your house or office, an efficient space heater has a plethora of benefits in your home. So, here are the reasons you need an efficient space heater.
Affordable to buy
If you want a space heater to warm the space in your office, a small compact heater is enough. This can cost you less than $30, and still get myriad of benefits the larger heaters can provide. However, a larger electric space heater can be ideal if you want to heat a larger space in your house, as well as create an optimum temperature suitable for playing your violin.
There are many types of space heaters to choose depending on what you want. If you want to heat a small space just around your chair so that the instrument pitch is not altered by changes in temperature, a small compact model or an infrared dishwasher heater can do the trick. If you want to heat a relatively larger space, a convection heater with a fan can be a better alternative. Basically, a good space heater is the one that fits your intended objectives.
Even though you are advised to read the manufacturer's manual before you start using a space heater, anyone can just use it. If you have purchased an electric space heater, you just need to plug into the mains power supply and switch on. In short, you don't need to be an expert electrician so that you can use the unit. However, the manual can be really vital in case there are some areas you don't understand clearly.
Cheap to operate
A space heater can be one of the appliances that consume the least energy, especially if you only use it to heat a room when playing your piano. Most electric heaters are rated 1.5KW, meaning that you just need very few cents to operate your unit for an hour. The modern space heaters have a temperature setting – high and low setting. You can choose to operate at the low setting to keep energy usage minimal.
Require a small storage space
For those with small-sized offices or living rooms, you can as well use a space heater comfortably. It requires a small space for storage, and your room will not appear cluttered. If the closet space is too small, a small compact heater can be a good choice. If you still have a budget you can even spend some money on a small dehumidifier that will make you feel more comfortable.
In conclusion, a space heater is a safe appliance when used in the office or at home. However, you need to follow the safety guidelines outlined in the manufacturer's manual. One of the important things to put in mind is placing the unit about 3ft from clothes and any other item such as furniture. The other thing is to avoid overloading your electrical wiring system such as plugging other appliances in the same outlet as the space heater.

These photos were taken in late October/early November so yes, they've been languishing on my HD waiting to be cropped and resized etc. I am slack.
10 springy photos
A tree next to our office which was covered in bright pink flowers. I thought it was stunning but no one else noticed it till I pointed it out.
Rhododendrons, right? I've never seen so many on one little tree.
Another view.
Ashley was sitting on the sundial in our garden and looking cute, but when I tried to take a photo she rushed the camera. She's out of focus but I like the shot anyway.
Sebastian sauntering away from the sundial. Sprawled at its base is one of his favourite places to be. Now it's summer I usually find him there in the shade when I got home.
A vireya, a tropical rhododendron. It's in a terracotta pot I'll have to smash to get it out of to plant it where it can grow better.
Ashley lying in wait... (I love her stripy paws!)
... to pounce on Sebastian who knows she's there.
Feline standoff. In the end they both strolled unconcernedly away. Those two really are good friends; I usually find them together in the garden.
And finally a view I took from our hammock. :-D The red things aren't pohutukawa but bottlebrush (or callistemon if you want the proper name).
Next up: the airshow. Maybe even this week.

Do you love Caesar salad as much as I do? I don't even need the croutons in my salad to be happy, I think it's all that fresh parmesan. I love how they shaved it in the picture above, doesn't that look good? All the Caesar salad dressings at the store are made with soybean oil, though, so today I'm sharing a recipe to easily make your own homemade Caesar salad dressing. Also in this post: info on making your own homemade Worcestershire sauce without all the junk that's in store-bought…
Over a year ago, a reader named Valerie commented on the homemade Ranch dressing post, and had this to say:
Kelly, I am in LOVE with your homemade mayo recipe!! I also had several bad batches of mayo, but I've done yours twice (and even once by hand with a whisk) and it came out beautifully. And the ranch dressing as well. I don't know if you have a place to share recipes but I just used the homemade mayo to make the best Caesar salad dressing!
I decided to post it and am just now digging it out of my drafts folder. (Sorry it took so long, and thank you Valerie!)
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
- 1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic-crushed
- Several dashes Worcestershire sauce see below for recipe
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- Just mix everything together! It's best if you let it sit for a while in the fridge.
I asked her about the high fructose corn syrup and MSG in most store-bought Worcestershire sauces (forgetting that this homemade Thousand Island dressing post had good info and a recipe in the comments!), and here's what she said:
I've got some original Lea and Perrins from the UK and it doesn't contain HFCS, and claims no MSG. I know that in the UK they still make it the same way as the original over 100 yrs ago, it's aged in wood barrels which would give that wonderful flavor that people try to imitate with MSG. But the Lea and Perrins website even admits that there are slight variations in the recipe made in the USA factory vs. the UK. I've also wondered about using anchovy paste, have you ever used it?
I asked my friend, Jeanne, who makes her own Worcestershire sauce and she said she just guesses at the amounts of these ingredients: vinegar, molasses, anchovy paste, onion powder, salt, garlic, chili pepper, and water to thin down if needed.
So I played with it and just used what I had on hand…
Homemade Worcestershire Sauce
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 Tablespoon fermented soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon palm sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon molasses
- 3 shakes onion powder
- 3 shakes garlic powder
- Dash cayenne
- Sea salt to taste
- Just mix it all together 🙂
If you have another variation for the Caesar dressing or your own recipe for Worcestershire sauce, please share in the comments!

This week, I said goodbye to my magazines' collection. I had bunch of some old editions of National Geographic, Lonely Planet, The New Yorker and The Rolling Stone magazines. As the space is the constant issue, I had to choose between some books and these magazines and I guess you all know by now how it ended. (Thank god for Kindle, most of my recent book purchases have been on the device)
I still couldn't throw away couple of Rolling Stones and New Yorkers. One of the Rolling Stone is rather my favorite piece of magazine. There is an interesting story behind it. Back when I was studying in Delhi University, I frequented to a news stand in Khan Market that had almost all the international magazines. They were expensive and out of reach from my small college allowances. There were 2 magazines those days that I fancied the most: Four Four Two from England ( football) and the American edition of Rolling Stone Magazine ( music).
One of the magazine that was in the shelf was Rolling Stones' 2004 edition of "500 Greatest Albums of all time." The introduction was written by Elton John and the top ten was dominated by The Beatles. It was the most amazing thing ever and possessing it was everything that I wanted that time. I was particularly broke that month and couldn't afford it but I promised myself to buy it next week. Come next week- it was gone. Later I also tried to find it in Dariyagunj's Sunday street book market. I usually bought most of my Four Four Two and old National Geographic there. But there was no luck this time and I gave up on it. ( I did read the entire thing online tough )
Years later Rolling Stones started it's Indian edition which was cheaper than the international one (also I was not so broke anymore) and they reprinted "500 Greatest Album of All Time" in India. I couldn't believe my eyes. That red cover was calling me out and I ran and bought the copy. It still stands on my bookshelves and I have read it cover to cover so many times. Though I gathered courage to throw away the rest of my collection, but I couldn't let this one go. I had too many memories with it.
I also wanted to know- do you collect magazines ? Do let me know your thoughts.

"He was like a son to me," Louis said.

There's something that drives the lead character of every story. Sine Ndlela's motivations are far more wholesome than a burning desire for success; the Yo Coco founder is forging a dairy-free path to the peak of the ice cream game, serving love with every scoop.
"My purpose, I believe, is to serve love. I love matching people to what makes them happy and almost everyone loves ice cream! So making it and serving it is another way for me to do that."
Her values, her business
It's easy to admire someone that puts people first. Sine knows who she is and what she stands for, which helps her maintain a calm demeanour in the notoriously unpredictable environment of startup life. You have to have something that anchors your way of doing things.
"There's no routine to be honest, we're constantly on the go. A day can be deliveries, meetings, making ice cream, packaging. I take each day as it comes and I'm aware that I won't always know the answer. But it doesn't mean the answer doesn't exist!"
In a chaotic industry, Sine views every crazy moment as an opportunity to learn and grow, both as a person and as an entrepreneur. She's insatiably curious and has always viewed herself as a human being before a businesswoman. Love is at the core of everything she does.
"Being kind is not hard but when money is put above kindness and people… that's where it becomes a problem. If you're going to put money first then it will dictate to you how to run things which can put you in a desperate position."
The business of making dairy-free
Yo Coco's outlook is bright. The boutique ice cream brand has been a resounding success at markets all over the country, with stores stocking their products in Johannesburg and Durban. And with an order from Sea Point Spar in Cape Town having come through in the first week of August 2018, the brand's footprint is growing. And Sine is staying true to the holistic philosophy that underpinned the business since day one.
Being an entrepreneur is never easy, especially for those with a strong conscience. Spirituality is at the centre of Sine's sense of self, helping her stay on top of things.
"It's very important to me. Staying aligned to my purpose underpins everything, so it automatically pours into how we do things without forcing anything on anyone."
If there's one thing we can be sure of, Sine doesn't have to force her ice cream on anybody. We'll devour it willingly! Yo Coco's products are different and delicious, thanks in part to the fact that they're handmade with no artificial flavourings or colourants. And, in line with shifting dietary trends, it's also vegan-friendly and dairy-free.
"I wanted to bring something super delicious, inclusive and still friendly to the environment. I guess I was also tired of feeling like dairy-free food was alternative and tasted like medicine! I love getting out of the comfort zone to change the way ice cream is done."
And plans for the future?
"We're going to become a real-life Willy Wonka factory for ice cream, but better! We're going to grow the team and supply more places with our products."
Keep your eyes fixed on one of the best dairy-free dessert-makers in the country. They're going places, doing things the right way and taking us all on a delectable journey. Going international is Sine's next big goal, and the way things are moving, there's going to be a multinational Yo Coco fanbase sooner rather than later.

As I take a walk through "The City of Joy", I capture vignettes of daily life from the land of Tagore. Kolkata is famous for its mouth-watering street food, old-world trams and grand if crumbling colonial architecture, but it's the people of this city (and nearby villages) that give it its unique flavour - for all their hardships and daily struggles, they still manage to keep their laid-back style and joys in small pleasures alive.

Plan termination is the culmination of the life of a pension plan with the ultimate event of paying out benefits to your participants. Before you can get to that final payout, however, there are three key stages plan sponsors go through; preparation, implementation, and distribution. First, sponsors should take the appropriate steps to assess and improve the plan's readiness to terminate. Second, once a plan is ready, a standard plan termination can be implemented. The implementation stage takes 9 to 15 months and involves regulatory filings and participant communications. Finally, the third stage ends the termination with the distribution of assets and likely a PBGC audit. Achieving a successful outcome greatly depends on the work performed getting ready for plan termination.
Plan Termination | Preparation
There are four critical readiness areas plan sponsors need to assess before implementing a plan termination: funded status, funded status risk, plan administration, and data quality. Preparing for a successful plan termination takes time and effort. Neglecting any of the critical areas can jeopardize achieving a successful plan termination.
Gain Clarity with a Readiness Assessment
With River and Mercantile Solutions' Plan Termination Readiness Assessment you can effectively answer the question of "How prepared am I to start my plan termination journey?" A team of plan termination experts will analyze your entire plan within the four critical areas that River and Mercantile Solutions has defined based on our years of experience helping plan sponsors successfully terminate their plans. The assessment will demonstrate how ready your plan is to begin termination, highlight any areas in need of attention, and provide recommendations on next steps.
Funded Status
The plan's funded status on a plan termination basis is different from the accounting or funding bases sponsors wrestle with each year. Understanding the true cost to terminate is critical to knowing how close you are to "the end". It's also important to understand the potential financial reporting impact due to fully settling liabilities, which will differ under various accounting standards.
Funded Status
Funded Status Risk
Every defined benefit plan faces a myriad of risks that can affect the funded status, including changing interest rates, volatile investment markets, demographics, and regulatory changes. During the life of the plan, these risks provide opportunity to plan sponsors. But, as the plan nears full funding, these risks need to be brought down and eventually eliminated. If they are not, sudden changes in interest rates or stock markets can set you back years on the road to termination. Understanding the plan's risks and how these risks will be managed is critical to preparing for plan termination.
Plan Administration
Defined benefit plan administration is complicated and includes many facets (e.g. forms, notifications, and plan documents). These facets will all come under scrutiny by the regulatory agencies as part of the plan termination process. Almost all plans have at least one minor issue that needs to be addressed. Minor issues can create major headaches if they are found during the plan termination process, rather than before. Major issues can stop a plan termination.
Data Quality
There is a lot of data needed to successfully carry out a plan termination. Ideally, plan sponsors will have all of the pieces (e.g. pay and service histories) that were used to calculate benefits, complete census information, beneficiary data and every participant's current address. Compiling any missing information will take a lot of time and effort and should be done before starting the termination process.
The dashboard above is a sample summary that a plan sponsor would receive once the plan has gone through a readiness assessment by one of River and Mercantile Solutions' plan termination experts.
Are you ready to terminate?
All good things must come to an end, and the end for every defined benefit plan that is closed to new participants, or has frozen benefit accruals, is settling its liabilities in a plan termination. The challenge facing plan sponsors is understanding when termination will
occur and what needs to be done leading up to that final day. In other words: what do frozen plan sponsors need to do to make "the end" a good one?
Download this article to learn about the four critical areas plan sponsors need to assess so they can plan for a smooth termination.
Plan Termination | Implementation
The process of implementing a standard plan termination is filled with regulatory filings, participant notices, and numerous deadlines. It is important to complete these tasks timely and correctly.
To discuss with one of our plan termination experts about the implementation process please contact us below!
Plan Termination | Distribution
Upon successfully completing the implementation stage of a plan termination, lump sum payments are ready to be paid to participants who made an election. Once paid, the only remaining participants in the plan are the in-pay participants (e.g. retirees and beneficiaries) and the not-in-pay participants who did not elect a lump sum payment (deferred annuitants). The sponsor will purchase an annuity from an insurance company for these remaining annuitants. The selection of the insurer is a critical fiduciary decision.

Why River and Mercantile Solutions?
At River and Mercantile Solutions, our team of actuarial and investment professionals are uniquely qualified to help plan sponsors through the plan termination process. With our staff's understanding of the specific requirements of implementing a plan termination and our consultative approach to managing both the liability and asset sides of the funded status equation, we are able to successfully navigate all aspects of a plan termination. Our long history of helping sponsors achieve effective and efficient terminations speaks for itself.
As part of the termination process, we also routinely sign on as a co-fiduciary with the plan's fiduciaries in selecting the safest available annuity provider. Our analysis is detailed in a comprehensive report which documents the key criteria in selecting the annuity provider as required by the Department of Labor in their Interpretive Bulletin 95-1 (selecting the safest available annuity provider). We also have detailed information that we collect regarding each insurer's on-boarding process, their investment structure, the enterprise risk management structure of the company, and experience and administrative capabilities.

There is evidence that Honda is moving quickly to make good on its "industry dominance" pledge. The latest rumor (accompanied by pictures of a prototype in Europe) involves an XR400 replacement.
As everyone knows, Honda introduced the aluminum-framed, XR650 earlier this year. The XR400 replacement is reportedly aluminum-framed, liquid cooled and electric start. The photos (appearing in a French publication) are of a 400cc machine with electric start and conventional forks — indicating that it is a replacement for the XR400, rather than a photo of the motocross specific model (which should feature upside down forks and a displacement of 500cc).

You may have heard: today is the summer solstice. That big ole sun out there is going nowhere fast. It'll be hanging in the sky for hours yet. You want nightfall? Fuck your nightfall! Put a blanket over your head and leave the sun alone!
As for the rest of you: if you're looking for something to kick off your pagan celebrations, I dug through our archives in search of some verse to suit today's heliophilia vibes. Here's what I've got: Baudelaire. In our Winter 1981 issue we ran nineteen poems by him—translated by Richard Howard, who won our Hadada Award this year. One of these, "The Sun," is as moving a tribute to that fiery ball of gas as has ever been written. A quick sample:
Who but the sun persuades the lame to dance
as if their canes were maypoles, governing
the resurrection of the harrowed fields,
and for the secret harvest of the heart
commands immortal wheat to grow again!
When, with a poet's will, the sun descends
into the cities like a king incognito,
impartially visiting palace and hospital,
the fate of all things vile is glorified.
Subscribers can read the full poem here. Nonsubscribers should subscribe now, at which time they, too, can read the whole poem, or recite it to the sun itself, or print it out and use a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays on it until it bursts into flames—a fitting way to celebrate the solstice.

Reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tell us that there are 14.5 million self-employed people in the U.S., and although this is 2.1 million lower than peak 2006 figures, this still represents 10 percent of the nation's population and a sizable resource pool. Figures for the UK are similar with Office for National Statistics figures telling us that there are just over 4 million self-employed in the UK, which represents about 10 percent of the population.
So, what's the story here? Typically, freelancers are a "no go" area for recruiters when hiring; it's much easier to move people from employed to employed than self-employed to employed. Recruiting self-employed staff into fully employed in-house roles is seen as the Path of Most Resistance – as the self-employed are thought to be self determining and happy and therefore likely to need much more persuasion not only to change their job, but to alter their entire culture and style of working.
So, is there any real point in trying to attract the self-employed back into work? Are they immovable? Of course not; if you check several self-employed profiles on LinkedIn, you'll find professionals who have alternated between employment and self-employment many times in their career. Many freelancers come in-house from the cold.
As a starved recruiter, it may be that you have no choice but to approach and try to crack the very difficult nut of the happy freelancer; as in times of talent shortage, self-employed candidates may be your only option or part of a very small pool of prospects. In certain cases, your client may simply have identified candidates, several of whom are self-employed, and have made it your job to get them to interview.
OK, so you have to turn a freelancer into an in-house employee, how do you do it? See below for some tips and advice on how to do just this.
1. First, understand why people leave work to become freelancers
Do your research and understand what it is that motivates freelancers. Why? Because once you know what motivates freelancers you can start to address their concerns and begin removing potential barriers to re-engagement in-house.
For example, a March 2012 survey from the Guardian Online, tells us that the main reason people leave to become freelance is work life balance. An additional survey by Fresh Books reports that the three main reasons people become freelancers is to become their own boss, (66%), to earn more money (37%), and as a result of being laid off (24%).
2. Second, understand why people remain freelancers
The Freshbook's survey indicates seven key reasons that people remain as freelancers. These are:
- 79% Control over my own schedule
- 74% Being my own boss
- 73% No commute/work anywhere
- 66% More choice over the projects I do
- 46% No chance of layoffs
- 38% No cubicles
3. Last, address the freelancers' concerns and push their buttons
Now, if we pause a little and take stock of our findings we can see that there are several interventions that we can make that may help to persuade the freelancer to consider our in-house opportunity.
For example, can we encourage our client to allow full or partial homeworking and flextime to address the freelancers concern for better work life balance, self-determinism and avoiding the commute and having the flexibility to work anywhere?
In addition, would we be able to encourage our client/employer to allow the freelancer to have an equivalent to Google's 20 percent time (or some variation of) to work on side projects that may benefit the business. This addresses the freelancers desire to have more choice over the projects that they do.
Also, research from Pew tells that the median salary for self-employed workers is only a few dollars more than that of waged and salaried workers, and that the self employed are more financially stressed than salaried workers, e.g. find it harder to meet their financial commitments. These findings present an opportunity to challenge the preconception that your freelancer may have that they will be wealthier in self-employment than in employment. Ask your client to provide you with a total reward statement so you can show the freelancer the full monetary value of salary and benefits on offer, which could turn out to the the same or more than their freelance package.
This is just an example of the kind of arguments that you can make to a freelancer to encourage him/her to consider your in-house waged role. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; it's about finding the individual needs of each freelancer that you approach. For example, if you see someone who has just recently become self-employed they may not have built a stable flow of work, (it typically takes two years to build a steady supply line), and may be vulnerable to jobs offers that promise relative job security, steady pay packet, health insurance and paid vacation. However, a more experienced freelancer may have built more stability, and you may need more sophisticated tactics, such as offering telecommuting or 20 percent time.

With the end of domestic flights by parent firm Bangkok Air, some flight attendants are reportedly looking for employment
I have no problems ... Bangkok Airways still has international flights.
SIEM Reap Airways moved to allay employment fears among Cambodian cabin crew working for its parent company Bangkok Airways as the Thai airline operated its last flights on domestic routes Saturday.
In a letter to staff obtained by the Post, Siem Reap Airways General Manager Terry Alton said the employment of all staff, including captains, first officers and cabin crew, would "continue as it has since last November", referring to the month the airline ceased commercial operations after being blacklisted by the European Commission.
Neither Siem Reap Airways nor Bangkok Airways runs domestic flights in Cambodia since the latter's licence expired without renewal at the weekend.
In the letter to staff, Alton said he had heard reports that "indicate captains, first officers and cabin crew will be suspended from duty as from 25 October 2009.
"I would like to make it absolutely clear that this is not correct," he wrote, adding that the airline is close to resuming full operations.
Alton said in an interview that he planned to discuss the matter with staff in person Tuesday after sending the letter Friday.
Bangkok Airways Deputy Manager of International Media Relations Ekkaphon Nanta O'Sot said Friday that the employment of cabin staff was a matter for Siem Reap Airways, as they were employed only on domestic routes, but confirmed that pilots were employed by Bangkok Airways and would continue to be scheduled on international flights.
A Bangkok Airways pilot, who previously flew for Siem Reap Airways but is now an employee of the Thai airline, said he had no concerns over his future employment.
"I have no problems because Bangkok Airways still has international flights," said the pilot, who asked not to be identified. "The government has only closed domestic flights."
However, the pilot said he was paid on the number of landings he made and was worried that he would be scheduled on fewer flights with the end of Siem Reap-Phnom Penh route. He added that concerns were rising among cabin staff.
One flight attendant said she had already had an interview for a job with the new national carrier Cambodia Angkor Air (CAA). The attendant, who asked to remain anonymous, said co-workers had also applied to CAA due to mounting fears over their jobs.
Bangkok Airways took over the routes from Siem Reap Airways last November, using cabin crew on loan from the grounded airline. Staff continued to be employed by the domestic subsidiary, which is currently in negotiations with aircraft owners to lease a plane for registration in Cambodia. It has been cleared by the government for takeoff as soon as it registers a plane locally.
Bangkok Airways flew its last domestic routes between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh on Saturday after the government said last month it would not renew the permit as the part government-owned carrier CAA was operating.
CAA is a joint venture between the Cambodian government and Vietnam Airlines, which owns 49 percent.
It emerged this month that the airline has not yet been registered in Cambodia and is flying under a Vietnam Airlines air operator certificate as it completes local registration processes.

Diagnosis errors often result in more injuries and sometimes death. Illinois patients and families who were affected by these types of mistakes often seek legal recourse for their damages. A doctor's office was ordered to pay a stroke victim over $7 million for failure to diagnose.
Man awarded millions for failure to diagnose
Doctor and hospital sued for causing birth injuries
Giving birth is one of the most joyous occasions for many parents in Illinois and across the country. However, giving birth can also turn into a nightmare when mistakes are made during delivery. In one case, a mother and her daughter filed a lawsuit against a doctor and other defendants for birth injuries her daughter suffered.
Family sues for nursing negligence after house fire
Patients who are severely disabled basically place their lives in the hands of their caregivers. Illinois residents may be interested in learning about a home health agency that is being accused of nursing negligence. A family filed a lawsuit for $50 million after one of its members died following a mobile home fire.
Paralyzed man settles in hospital negligence case
Hospital mistakes are often caused by lack of training and the negligence of doctors and medical staff. In Illinois, patients have been injured or have died each year due to hospital negligence. In a different state, a medical center reached a settlement to pay a man over $4 million.
Nursing negligence investigation launched after patient death
Nursing neglect is becoming more problematic throughout the country. Illinois residents may be interested in a nursing negligence case that occurred in a nearby state. Reports indicate that a patient died just days after he was taken to a hospital, which was apparently too late.

Well, after all that stress, it all worked out in the end, thank God. Liam's appendectomy went as well as we all hoped it would. We went in this morning, hung around for about 2 hours and by 2PM we were home. Crazy. I thought maybe 6 or 7PM. They were happy with how it went and how he was acting after he woke up. Very clean procedure. I guess the course of treatment and timing of the surgery was spot on. Thank goodness we are so close to good doctors and hospitals. He's in good shape and good spirits. He's taking it easy for a few days, no gym, etc. for 3 weeks, but we'll take it. He can play the iPad for the first time in weeks (since he ran up that $766 in-app purchase blowout bill), so that made the last few days, this morning, and today a whole lot easier to stomach. I also set up the Xbox in our room…so…he's ok. The hospital, doctors, and nurses were awesome. It's as good an experience as we could have hoped for. Now, we just wait and see how he reacts, cures, etc. Hope this next week is as good as today was. We shall see, but thanks so much to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and well wishing.
It all worked out. He was really good, seriously, the entire week leading up to this, this morning, at the surgery, going in, coming out, coming home. I'm really proud of the kid…he really was awesome. It made it so much easier for us to handle. Now we can get back to the normal chaos. Thank God.

NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) is a package of care for adults aged 18 or over which is arranged and funded solely by the NHS. In order to receive NHS CHC funding individuals have to be assessed by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) according to a legally prescribed decision making process to determine whether the individual has a 'primary health need'.
Anyone assessed as having a certain level of care needs may receive NHS continuing healthcare. If assessment of your overall care needs show that your primary need is a health need, you could be eligible for NHS continuing healthcare.
Once eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, your care will be funded by the NHS but this is subject to review, and should your care needs change the funding arrangements may also change.
Read our local Continuing Healthcare leaflet
How are decisions made about who is eligible for NHS continuing healthcare?
The first step for most individuals is the Checklist Tool. This is a screening tool to help health and social care staff work out whether needs might possibly be of a level or type that might make the individual entitled to NHS continuing healthcare. The Checklist will usually be completed when someone is assessing or reviewing health or social care needs. The Checklist does not indicate whether the individual is eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, only whether they require full assessment of eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare.
On occasions the healthcare professional may decide not to complete a Checklist and proceed to a full assessment, however this they will talk to you about this. You will need to provide consent to proceed with your application.
If a Checklist has been completed and suggests that there is a possibility that you might be eligible for NHS continuing healthcare a multidisciplinary team will carry out an up-to-date assessment of your needs. The multidisciplinary team will use the information from your assessment to complete a Decision Support Tool.
The Decision Support Tool looks at 11 different types of need such as mobility, nutrition and behaviour. The purpose of the tool is to help decide what are the nature, complexity, intensity and unpredictability of your needs and so whether your primary needs are health needs. The multidisciplinary team will then make a recommendation to the CCG as to whether you are eligible for NHS continuing healthcare.
Whether or not you are eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, you are still able to make use of all of the other services from the NHS in your area in the same way as any other NHS patient.
The assessment process is set out in the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS funded Nursing Care (Revised 2018). Details of the National Framework, associated assessment tools and further information can be found at www.england.nhs.uk/healthcare/
Dispute Resolution
The CCG has a dedicated dispute resolution team and a policy for managing disputes. Once local dispute processes have been exhausted, individuals assessed as not eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare have the right to request an independent review by NHS England and ultimately to raise a complaint with the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
Contact Us
Further details on NHS Continuing Healthcare, NHS-Funded Nursing Care and Dispute Resolution can be obtained from the Continuing Healthcare Team by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com or ringing 01925 303130 (Monday to Friday during office hours).
Children and Young People Continuing Care
Continuing Care is the name given to care for children and young people with complex needs that cannot be met by existing services in their community. This could be as a result of a disability, accident or illness.
Resources required can vary depending on your child's needs, but they may include:
Children and Young People's Continuing Care Information - Information for Parents and Carers
Transition to Continuing Health Care (CHC) - Information for Young People, Parents and Carers

Here's Branstad's advice for Clinton, other candidates
What advice would Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad offer Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio and others launching presidential campaigns?
Branstad give his top checklist of items Monday during his weekly news conference.
Clinton officially announced her campaign on Sunday. Rubio just announced his campaign on Monday morning.
Branstad said it's important for Clinton t o avoid what critics say she did wrong during the 2008 campaign by not overlooking the importance of the Iowa Caucuses.
"If you look at recent polls, she's been dropping and Republicans have been gaining. But it's a long way from now until Election Day. And my advice to Hillary and to every candidate is come to Iowa early -- she's doing that so that's a good thing -- often, go to all 99 counties, meet with people and answer their questions and share your vision for plans for the future of this country," said Branstad.
What advice would you offer Clinton and the other candidates about Iowa? Add your comment in the box below or on the KCCI Facebook page.

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EFI™ (Nasdaq:EFII) and Heidelberg USA, Inc. today announced a new agreement under which Heidelberg will distribute the VUTEk® GS series of superwide format digital printers to the commercial print market across the U.S.
Under the agreement, Heidelberg USA will distribute EFI's VUTEk GS2000, GS3200, and GS5000r as well as the inks, parts, consumables, accessories and upgrades related to these printers. Heidelberg will also provide customer and technical support for the VUTEk GS series of printers including installation and training.
EFI is a world leader in digital imaging and print management solutions for commercial, packaging, in-plant and specialty printers worldwide. Heidelberg is the world's leading solutions provider for the print media industry. The company manufactures sheetfed press systems as well as prepress and postpress components, software and consumables for all printing applications.
"We're excited to enter into this distribution agreement with Heidelberg USA. It allows us to bring Heidelberg customers our award-winning superwide format digital printers," said Frank Mallozzi, senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, EFI. "Commercial printers are looking for ways to distinguish themselves and offer their clients more diversified products and services. Now we can reach those companies through a broader network."
Heidelberg USA will have a GS3200 in its North American Print & Packaging Technology Center (NAPPTC) for demonstrations. The machine will be integrated into a complete Prinect workflow and will be color managed by Heidelberg's Prinect Color Toolbox which has recently been awarded the IDEAlliance G7 System Certification. Customers will benefit from a single workflow that drives a digital device and an offset press with the result being a color matched output from both.
"Wide and superwide format printing are high-growth opportunities and Heidelberg has the right workflow, color management, service and Saphira consumables expertise needed to integrate these technologies into a print production environment," said James Martin, senior vice president, marketing, Heidelberg USA. "EFI is a leader in the superwide space and together with Heidelberg we can bring a best-in-class portfolio to our customers."
VUTEk superwide inkjet solutions

Hello Deskers! Happy WOYWW. My day is all about DD today – first day of college on Friday (FRIDAY?? you say? Yep!) and unbelievably we still have a few things to sort out. Plus, I think, a girlie lunch, painting fingernails, and trying on first-day outfits.
But if there is time, between desk-hopping and store-hopping, I am taking my 6 x 6 Gelli plate print – made big from the other day and finishing up a new version of an old project that I made in scrappy way a year or two ago. This time it's in a Gelli-way. I'm pretty sure it won't take too much puzzling it out until the AHA! moment when you know what it is. With luck I'll have it done tomorrow and will share.
A bit of tidying is in the cards too. Made a start – the first area I addressed, the kitchen, turned up a bar of dark chocolate that DH was SUPPOSED to take with him (he is at a conference this week, then heading direct from there to a chili cook-off) that I can now claim as my own. Bliss. Almost makes up for having to both shop and clean. Maybe I'll just sit in front of the Mac all day and WOYWW-hop and nibble….

What would you give for a second chance?
For Katie, life as Isaac Tayte's girlfriend was pretty much perfect. Until the night she messed everything up by cheating on him with their mutual best friend, Mitch. Katie is devastated over her mistake - and she'll do anything to get Isaac back.
Then, on her seventeenth birthday, she discovers a strange, beautiful lovket. When she puts it on, Katie finds herself going back in time - to the night she and Mitch kissed. At first, Katie is thrilled at the chance to do it all over again. If she can only change the past, she might be able to save her perfect future with Isaac. But as other aspects of her life become inexplicably altered, she realizes that second chances come with a dark price. Katie can't help but wonder: is fate meant to be tampered with - or is the most extraordinary kind of life the one that's far from perfect?
My Review
Katie has the perfect life, the perfect boyfriend, and the perfect future with Isaac. At least, she did - until she kissed Mitch. Katie would do anything to take back that night, so make it so Isaac wasn't mad at her and they could go back to their perfect little world. That's where her grandmother's locket comes into play. Katie discovers that the locket has the power to take her back in time to the moment of her mistake. Katie is overjoyed that she and Isaac are still together and the mess with Mitch never happened. There's a problem, though - little things keep changing between this version of reality and the previous one. She's also starting to realize that her life may not have been as perfect as she once thought. Katie needs to decide what she's going to do - before things change for good.
I really enjoyed this book, much more than I thought I would! Katie is a very sweet girl who is so happy to have a boyfriend that she doesn't realize that Isaac really isn't the right guy for her. All she wants is to undo the mistake she made that caused Isaac to break up with her, but she never expects that this will actually happen! Katie thinks that this is a dream, but all along the reader can see how the is really bound to repeat itself, and that changing the past can only lead to bad things, like unforseen accidents. Jay does a great job of keeping the tension going throughout the novel. You'll be rooting for Katie to make the right decision all the way until the last page.
Stacey Jay is the author of the Megan Berry books (You Are So Undead to Me and Undead Much), My So-Called Death. She also has two novels coming out in 2011: Dead on the Delta and Juliet Immortal.

Shortening the time to close is a goal for just about every CFO, Controller and Finance/Accounting Team. Closing more quickly means a more efficient process, more time to generate insight and lower overall costs - as long as accuracy of close remains high.
According to the APQC General Accounting Open Standards Benchmarking survey (2,300 companies participated) - Cycle Time for Monthly close ranges from 4.8 days or less for the top 25% of companies to 10 days or more for the bottom 25% of performers.
Companies that close in half the time of other companies focus on the following:
No matter how efficient and thorough an organization's accounting team, if it performs reconciliations manually or through "rules based matching", it is always going to be lagging behind accounting teams that are automating the close process. This is because the manual reconciliation of an organization's finances is time consuming, costly and prone to human error. More importantly, reconciliation errors having potentially major consequences to a company's financial well being. High transaction volumes, multiple bank accounts, different transaction types, multiple currencies and various bank file formats only add to the problems.
According to a study by Robert Half & the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF), only 13% of F&A teams have utilized advancements in technology solutions like Sigma IQ, with the majority of CFO's admitting they still struggle with painful aspects of account reconciliation like:
According to a financial accounting survey by EY, up to nearly 60% of a financial department's resources are spent on managing transaction-intensive processes. What is worse, 95% of this effort is spent on transactions that already match, rather than problem entries that actually require attention, reducing the efficiency of the org and dramatically increasing the time it takes to close.
Fortunately, for finance teams A.I.-based solutions like Sigma IQ dramatically reduces both the time and resources required to close.
It is estimated that on average, a company with $100 million in sales, will unnecessarily waste 3-5 days to close each month, with most using rules-based matching and manual reconciliation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) based reconciliation platforms, like Sigma IQ, solve this problem in a completely new way, dramatically reducing the human time investment required to close your books. On average, Sigma IQ can reduce the time to close by up to 90% and save hours per employee in labor time.
95% of account reconciliation effort is spent on transactions that already match, rather than problem entries that actually require attention, reducing the efficiency of the org and dramatically increasing the time it takes to close.
Sigma IQ's Matching Engine uses artificial intelligence to completely automate the reconciliation process, removing the need for a team of accountants to reconcile transactions. Whether thousands or millions of transactions, Sigma IQ's proprietary patent-pending AI-powered matching engine maximizes match performance and accuracy without the need for manual rules or updates.
Importantly, advanced solutions like Sigma IQ are cloud-based, meaning teams implement account reconciliation tools with no implementation costs and get up and running in less than a day. This means you can start reconciling and provides you with a positive ROI from day one.
Also, data security remains a critical goal. Since technologies like Sigma IQ are built on top of modern advancements in technology, COSO 13 security controls are part of the design from day one, keeping security and compliance at the forefront.
By using Sigma IQ, your finance team can achieve the following cost savings:
As more and more finance teams continue to automate their financial operations, AI-based reconciliation platforms like Sigma IQ, will dramatically reduce the time and cost associated with month-end-close.

The boys wanted a fresh ham and turkey sandwich. So I had to buy the supplies at Foodland. I picked up some local Hamakua tomatoes. I like supporting local farmers. I selected a giant regular Hamakua tomato and one Hamakua organic tomato. I didn't pick the organic tomato because I am concerned about our health. I chose it because it was sexy. Boy, do I love tomatoes...

Same great product, terrible new name. These hard-shell Giant Chew Nerds are so exceedingly delicious. You can read my previous preview of them from a few months back when they were called Nerds Bumpy Jelly Beans. Isn't that far more appropriate? Whichever way Wonka decides to market the candy, I'm just glad they're trying to find a permanent place for these in their candy lineup!
Score: 5

100% dry grinding system for natural stone floors!
Big Wednesday no. 5 – Say goodbye to slurry!
HTC launches industry's first 100% dry grinding system for natural stone floors.
HTC is a leading pioneer in grinding technology for various types of flooring. For over 25 years, HTC has refined the methodology and tools for floor grinding. The result is a number of groundbreaking techniques – some of which have led to new industries. One example is HTC's concept for polished concrete, HTC Superfloor, which has become a worldwide standard. Another innovation, a cleaning pad that uses diamonds called Twister, has made it possible to clean and maintain large floor surfaces without using chemicals.
Natural stone grinding without water
Now it is time for a new standard in grinding natural stone – 100% water-free. The newly developed Diamond Xpress tools are based on extensive experience in both flooring materials and advanced diamond technology.
Better work environment, faster process
Diamond Xpress reduces the number of grinding steps required to achieve the desired gloss. The grinding is performed completely without water. The slurry that is normally formed during wet grinding in a conventional grinding process is a health and safety problem as well as a major expense for the contractor. Dry grinding of natural stone floors improves the work environment and reduces costs since slurry management disappears and grinding can be performed in half the time compared to conventional grinding.
Significantly higher gloss in the final finish
The new technology also reduces chemical consumption since the final gloss/finish is much higher than in conventional grinding. This provides additional savings for both the contractor and the end-user while being environmentally friendly.
This new, simpler method gives more entrepreneurs the opportunity to undertake natural grinding projects with their existing equipment, thus expanding their business.

After spending the afternoon of our second day visiting temples, we headed back into central Kyoto to experience some of the city life.
One nice thing about Kyoto is that if you get tired of looking at the historical stuff, the downtown area has a bustling and vibrant feel to it. In the Kawaramachi area between Shijo and Sanjo where our hotel was located there are numerous arcades packed with interesting shops and interesting shoppers. We headed down into these in search of dinner and whatever else they had.
I love shopping arcades. Its a bit hard to convey the experience of walking through one in words or even pictures, so I made a 3 minute video of walking through the crowded and lively Nishiki Koji Dori arcade that you can watch here.
As you can see from the video, these arcades are a million times more interesting than the bland shopping malls that, regrettably, have been popping up all over the place here in the past decade or two. It is one of the things I'm kind of disappointed with Fukuoka about. We've only got one shopping arcade that is really busy -Shintencho - and it isn't particularly big. The other ones (like the one in Nakasu leading to Canal City) have a kind of dead feel to them.
Kyoto's shopping arcades though are brilliant. They stretch on in all directions for as far as the eye can see, packed with shoppers all the way. They have tons of independent little shops. Some good, some not so good, but all interesting. They barely get a passing mention in most guide books (if that) but I think they are one of the best attractions which Kyoto has to offer.
Bizarre features are not in short supply. Like airplanes being used as facades atop entrance ways:
Giant burritos, or Om-rices or whatever this is:
And mechanical crabs overlooking gift shops:
Some of the shops look quite old:
While others have a refreshingly "shiny" feel to them:
There are a number of tiny temples facing onto the shopping arcades here and there:
Enter their gates and you are transported in mere seconds from the hustle and bustle of the bright shopping arcade:
To the lonely and eerily quiet sight of an urban graveyard only metres away:
We ended up having dinner in a Yakitori restaurant that night. It was quite good, though I didn't take any pictures and can't remember the name of the place. Much merriment was had though. We actually spent quite a bit of time over the following couple of days wandering around the area.
Continued in the next post.
