Fredericka Peterson Goldquist
I chose this week to write about my 3rd great-grandmother, Fredericka Peterson Goldquist, on the theme of "plowing through." Fredericka was an immigrant from Sweden, having been born there in the town of Hagersda in 1824. She came to the U.S. when she was 23 with her parents and siblings. Their destination was Knox County, Illinois, where she lived for the rest of her life. While they were traveling through the Erie Canal many of them contracted cholera. Fredericka's mother and brother both passed from the disease, but Fredericka, even though she constantly tended to the sick, never became ill with it. Even a doctor who later took care of others in her group fell ill and died. This seems to be a theme in Fredericka's life. The History of Knox County, Illinois has a short piece on her, and says many times how she devoted her life to the care of others. She married to Claus Olofson Goldquist and with him had five children, who were left to her sole care when he passed away when still quite young. Even through this she gave so much of her time to others. The piece on her says, "When one attempts to analyze the secret of Mrs. Goldquist's usefulness, he finds it in her sincere faith in Christ and in her desire to serve Him by ministering through every possible, accessible channel, to mankind." She was an active member of the Soldiers' Aid Society during the Civil War and was a ward visitor for many years through The Dorcas Society. In addition to this, she taught a Sunday School class for 35 years, which was so popular it was often crowded. When Fredericka passed away in March 1889, it was said at her funeral that "her career can be said to be worked like golden threads into the better natures of hundreds of men and women here."

4 EDI Supply Chain Trends to Watch
Salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly, and spaghetti and meatballs are just some combinations that make each other better. However, there are few combinations in the technology world that go together better than EDI and the supply chain. In fact, the EDI-supply chain combination is what ultimately drives global commerce today.
EDI is the business language that unites every participant in supply chains and helps today's companies provide better and more transparent service to its customers. Any supply-chain-centric business will run into EDI in some way, shape, or form (even the ones that primarily rely on non-EDI data exchange), and it's those companies that take advantage of modern EDI platforms that will thrive in a landscape transformed by digital and e-commerce channels and revolutionized by Amazon.
Download the Modern EDI E-Book
From outdated IT infrastructure to operational silos, there are many IT obstacles standing in an enterprise's way of executing at its maximum capacity. While EDI remains one of them for too many organizations due to legacy and homegrown solutions, a number are realizing the business value of the B2B data exchange that EDI enables. It's those that are turning to modern integration platforms to better manage their ecosystems and thus, their supply chains, to:
- Improve order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes
- Hit important KPIs for shipping and logistics
- Enable visibility into fulfillment and delivery
- Connect applications for end-to-end data processing
- More reliably meet customer and partner SLAs
- Reduce chargebacks and non-compliance fines
Here are some trends permeating EDI supply chain management workflows and how companies are working to address them to gain the aforementioned benefits and grow their businesses.
Trend #1 – The Marriage of EDI and APIs
EDI and APIs have been considered adversaries as of late. But as critical as EDI is to an organization, APIs are just as integral. APIs offer additional communication flexibility, so you can more easily exchange data with cloud-based apps and other digital ecosystem systems. Instead of having to choose one over the other, companies are learning the power of EDI and API technologies working together. If you plan on evolving and growing your business, then supporting EDI and API-based processes simultaneously will give you the flexibility to support everything from legacy B2B technologies to SaaS applications and cloud storage platforms. The reality is that you shouldn't have to pick one or the other, as they largely augment each other.
Trend #2 – IT Skills Evolution
As cloud computing continues to infiltrate enterprise IT, the need for highly skilled professionals cannot be understated. Someone that is properly trained and able to handle EDI integration requests across an environment is extremely valuable in today's modern enterprise. The problem is that these skilled IT professionals aren't exactly easy to come by, and in fact, the necessary skill sets are rapidly evolving. Traditional EDI analyst roles, for example, are evolving into business analyst roles, where they work less on actual EDI data mapping or configuring partner requirements and more on overall trend analysis. These team members will ultimately embrace what the EDI data is telling them to improve partner relationships and design strategies for enhanced business outcomes.
Trend #3 – The Amazon Effect
The Amazon Effect certainly has disrupted retail and e-commerce industries, and many longtime business stalwarts, including Sears and Toys R Us, have been caught flat-footed and negatively impacted. But Amazon's stringent supplier demands also has transformed how logistics, fulfillment, distribution, and manufacturing companies do business. In fact, Amazon bailing on its HQ2 project is having another Amazon effect all its own. At the end of the day, the Amazon effect has shown us that companies in any industry must ensure that the customer experience not only meets expectations but in most cases, exceeds them. Amazon changed the game with competitive pricing and lightning-fast shipping to real-time tracking and mobile support, and now providing all those things – while making yourself as easy to do business with – is of the utmost importance.
Trend #4 – The Modernization of EDI
Yes, EDI has been around for quite some time now, but maturity can be a good thing! EDI's evolved over the years and certainly is more than just a standardized data format. It's a set of processes that ecosystem interaction and broader business value. EDI involves securing and governing data flows that drive the bottom line. It's managing partner relationships and consistently improving on the business processes that matter. It's also supporting all the non-EDI and ad-hoc data flows that your ecosystem throws at you. Today's EDI technology arms companies with a platform to better execute these supply chain challenges in a modern way.
Discover What EDI Can Do for Your Business
The right kind of EDI supply chain strategy will enhance your operational efficiency, improve your relationships with your customers and trading partners, and give you increased visibility into your overall supply chain. But first, you must securely integrate your end-to-end ecosystem, which is no easy task given the range of legacy systems and cloud applications in use throughout a business today.
Supply chain companies and other organizations looking to comprehensively integrate and manage their ecosystem require EDI and non-EDI support, protocol depth, and increased visibility capabilities to enhance SLAs and maintain partner data compliance at all times. Cleo Integration Cloud provides those advanced data and ecosystem management capabilities to optimize your supply chain EDI transactions and more efficiently meet customer demand. Whether deploying integration technology on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid model, Cleo Integration Cloud helps ramp up your business processes, so you can reap all the promised benefits of EDI in supplier onboarding and supply chain management. Contact Cleo and boost your EDI supply chain today.

Haute Living and Jaquet Droz held an event in Vanessa Hudgens' honor on Thursday (January 17) in Los Angeles, California.
The 'Second Act' actress stuck to her bohemian leanings in a Missoni Spring 2019 ensemble.
There is a lot of graphic print happening in the longline silhouettes and she is on the petite side so the design is borderline too much.
Yet, if she only wore one of the striped pieces it would not have had such a strong impact.
The scrunched sleeve and styling sans shirt try to tip the scale in her favour.

text: LFHS STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) English IWelcome!Are you motivated to achieve what you really want in life? How hard do you push yourself to get things done? Wanting to do something and motivating yourself to actually do it are two different things. When you think you're ready to quit something, or you just don't know how to start, self-motivation is what pushes you to go on. With self-motivation, you'll learn and grow – regardless of the specific situation. That's why it's such a fundamental tool for reaching your goals, achieving your dreams, and succeeding, in this journey we call life. In schools, "the emphasis is on what students need to learn, whereas little emphasis--if any--is placed on training students how they should go about learning the content and what skills will promote efficient studying to support robust learning," writes John Dunlosky, professor of psychology at Kent State University in Ohio, in an article just published in American Educator. However, he continues, "teaching students how to learn is as important as teaching them content, because acquiring both the right learning strategies and background knowledge is important--if not essential--for promoting lifelong learning." Please navigate to the Calendar of Assignments to begin practicing the learning/studying skills necessary for the STAAR and for a lifetime of success!

National Quarry Services Evolves From One Drill to a Smart Fleet.
By Mark S. Kuhar
|An authorized Epiroc dealer, James River provides NQS with DTH rigs such as this Epiroc D60 and top hammers such as the Epiroc T35. Its 40 full-service locations and over 100 service trucks offer NQS close in-field technical support across its service region. Epiroc operated under the trademark "Atlas Copco" prior to Jan. 1, 2018.
|Drill rigs delivered to NQS go straight to work on a customer's job. Driller Michael Elliott stops between patterns in a granite quarry just long enough for NQS owner Chris Gifford to put the company logo on a new Epiroc D60 down-the-hole rig. Epiroc operated under the trademark "Atlas Copco" prior to Jan. 1, 2018.
|Strong alliances between contractor, dealer and manufacturer is a key component to NQS's continued growth. Left to right: Greg Beck, James River account manager to NQS; Greg Ayers, district manager – Southeast, Epiroc; Chris Gifford, owner, National Quarry Services.
In 2004, Chris Gifford, a 32-year-old from Upstate New York, quit his job with a heavy equipment contractor, cashed out all of his investments and bought a blast-hole drilling rig. He set up a drill and blast contracting company in Winston Salem, N.C. They began with just that one rig and a single customer.
Fourteen years later, National Quarry Services (NQS) is a full-service, precision blasting, drilling and crushing services provider with a fleet of more than 70 drilling rigs and employing more than 100 people. Its customer base includes approximately 50 quarry customers, representing some of the industry's most highly esteemed, large-scale operations.
In addition to its quarry customers, NQS routinely contracts and subcontracts its drill-and-blast services for industrial, mining and government customers. They include the Center Hill Dam for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, subcontract blasting for Luck Stone on a 3M property, and a long-term contract with Hale Gold Mine.
From the beginning, NQS has been based on personal relationships. Gifford made the life-changing decision to found the company after a casual dinner conversation with a driller friend-of-a-friend one evening. The driller's stories struck a chord with Gifford that only those with drilling in their blood might understand. "I was actually making good money at the time working where I was. I was just ready for something different."
Up and Down
Revenue for NQS was up and down at first, which might cause other startups to second guess their decision. Gifford doubled down. "I bought a second drill to even things out. I figured while the first one wasn't drilling, the other one could be working on another job."
Customer satisfaction with his work got him through the leanest times, including the economic downturn of 2008. Gifford said he learned not to turn new work away. "I never, ever thought back then that we would grow as big as we are now, but if I were to tell a customer 'no, I'm too busy,' that job is still going to get done. But it's going to another contractor. They get bigger. And they'll be right in my backyard taking what would be my jobs. I learned to accept each opportunity that was offered to us."
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Geologist Juan Payne described what he appreciates about having NQS on a job. "The biggest things are their technical expertise and their attention to detail. One thing I've witnessed while working with them on multiple occasions is their adaptability. When there are geological conditions that are challenging, they have risen to the occasion to overcome those."
Jim Schultz, NQS vice president of construction services, said, "We are not inclined to find ways around doing the hard parts of the job. We get the hard parts done. … Knowing that you did a good job for the customer is probably the most important thing."
NQS has steadily increased in revenue 20% each year since its founding, including the years 2008 to 2012. "We keep our customers through our quality performance," Gifford said. "In fact, we still drill for that first customer we worked for as a startup."
In 2012, NQS bought five more rigs. Gifford learned later that some of his industry associates were taking bets against how much longer he could last. In their eyes, growing that fast could only mean the company was getting vulnerably deep in capital debt.
On the contrary, Gifford said, each additional rig NQS bought, leased or rented went straight to a customer's job to earn its keep. "Look around the yard. You won't see any rigs parked here. They are all out making money."
No rigs in the yard also means rig availability for new job orders is an ever-present challenge. In 2016 Gifford bought 14 more rigs. In 2017, he added another 13. NQS planned to add many more rigs to its fleet with James River Equipment and Epiroc.
Gifford said he hopes to institute a rig rotation plan soon, trading out perhaps five rigs a year. NQS has its own fully equipped maintenance facilities, trained service technicians and a parts warehouse, complete with everything to keep its rigs in tip-top shape.
Changing with the Times
The rotation plan is necessary because his customers' needs are changing. "More and more they're asking if we have 'smart rigs,'" Gifford said. "They ask about GPS capability and automated features."
NQS jobs were increasingly farther away from its facilities in Clemmons, taking his drillers as far north as Maryland and south to Georgia. "We do have plans underway to create additional NQS locations, but I realized we couldn't build fast enough to keep up with our growth."
Self-sufficiency had worked for NQS up to this point, Gifford said, but to support continued geographic and technological growth, "It was time to form alliances."
Partnering with James River Equipment was an ideal solution to both challenges. The dealership serves the mining/quarry/aggregate markets as well as agriculture, forestry and commercial and residential construction industries throughout Virginia and North and South Carolina and had been supplying NQS with drill rig tooling for two years. It is an authorized dealer of Epiroc down-the-hole (DTH) hammers and bits, with access to the full line of Epiroc equipment.
Supportive Partnership
Greg Beck, James River account manager, said James River was more than happy to help NQS. "These are good people, with realistic expectations. We are fully committed to a supportive partnership with NQS during this time of expansion."
James River is supplying the high-tech Epiroc DTH and top hammer drilling rigs that NQS customers had been asking for, and they will warehouse parts and consumables close to NQS job sites. James River has 40 full-service locations and over 100 service vehicles to provide NQS with close in-field customer support throughout the NQS service area.
Gifford said while he was extremely happy with the relationship he's formed with the dealer, he also wanted a firm relationship with the manufacturer itself. "Relationships are just that important to me. I need to know who I'm partnering with."
The NQS Epiroc contact is Greg Ayers, district manager, Southeast. Ayers said, "When top-level support is in place from a quality dealership like James River Equipment, we recognize the value that is to the customer." The ability to serve the customer alongside the dealer is based on good communication, he said. "We're all in this together."
Company growth isn't just about equipment. An expanding fleet means NQS is always in need of skilled drillers. NQS has its own in-house driller training program and is investigating the possibility of purchasing Epiroc training simulators. Simulators are the most efficient and safest way to transition novice drillers or those unfamiliar with the rigs to competent proficiency.
"Drilling is a demanding job," Gifford said. "It's working long, hard days isolated from others out on a bench, alone and often far from home. They're not just drilling. They also have to keep their own rig up and running, lubing it properly, changing out hydraulic hoses. Not everyone is cut out for it. The only way to know is to train them and let them experience it. Some discover that they're a better match for parts or shipping. No problem. We'll do everything we can to find the right match for our employees."
On the Job
For NQS driller Michael Elliott, who has been with NQS for seven years, drilling was a perfect fit. NQS gives him incentives such as production bonuses and reliable, productive equipment he needs to achieve them.
On this October day Elliott is operating a new Epiroc FlexiROC D60 down-the-hole rig on 3M's Pittsboro, N.C., quarry. Pittsboro is part of 3M's Industrial Minerals Products Division (IMPD) within its Safety and Security Protection Systems business. Luck Stone, the drilling and blasting contractor for this property, subcontracted NQS to perform the work.
Elliott had just finished a 33-hole pattern of vertical, 6 ½-in. holes with 14 by 15 burden and spacing that when blasted would neaten up the bench face. The holes were 52-ft. deep with 5 ft. of sub-drilling. 3M would test and sort the cast into three grades, A, B and C. All of it would be used, though not all for its primary product, roofing granules that it sells to a variety of U.S. asphalt shingle manufacturers.
The rock is hard here, Elliott said, but the rig sets up fast on holes and the bits give him "above average bit life" compared to what he had been using before the switch to Epiroc.
NQS is currently advertising for additional drillers to meet its goal of doubling production in the next five years, increasing its current staff from 100 employees to more than 175. Gifford's optimism is based on a bright outlook in the markets that NQS serves and its successful business model. "We had a plan," he said, "and we've been able to follow through on it."
The plan is based on good relationships with its clients and its people, the ability to mobilize rapidly and a commitment to performing the highest quality work. "We take no shortcuts," Gifford said. "We've got the best operators, all trained in the industry's best practices to get a customer's work done on time and without incident, safely and efficiently."
Customer satisfaction continues to bring new work. With new, rock-solid alliances with James River and Epiroc USA, Gifford said he expects to continue growing at 20% for the next three to five years. "That suits us," Gifford said, "Our name is, after all, 'National' Quarry Services. Expanding means we're just living up to our name."

Epiroc Certiq
To support its continued annual growth, NQS turned to high-tech computerized tracking. In 2016 the drill and blast contractor developed its own in-house software for compiling daily drill reports. Hosted on NQS servers, all NQS employees, not just managers, can produce daily reports of data gathered from the operations, such as hours worked vs. drill footages, drill downtime and rig availability, which is being reported real time. The information is also integrated into the NQS maintenance program, used for tracking engine hours, scheduling repairs and consumable drill tool performance straight from the field.
Epiroc rigs come with Certiq, a telematics package that allows this data to be communicated real-time from the rigs themselves. NQS President Chris Gifford said, "We are integrating Certiq into our maintenance program to self-report engine hours and maintenance warnings. We're continuing to explore its capabilities as part of our technology integration."

Departed Perth International Airport Sunday 16 April 2017.
Day 1 by Mya: Whilst flying over the Indian Ocean, I began to realise where I really was, and what all of these months of preparation and hard work everyone has achieved together, has led up to. It is a privilege to represent our state of Western Australia, my community and school overseas in Singapore. I excitedly counted down the hours, and eventually the minutes until we landed on foreign soil. I pictured a vibrant, urban jungle as we slowly descended to the ground, the twinkling lights of the city already glowing around the aircraft.
Day 2 by Janka: It is this acceptance of the different ethnic groups that make up Singapore that greatly contributes to the cultural diversity and social success of the nation. Although the different cultural districts originated as a system for separating the ethnic groups within Singapore under Sir Stamford Raffles, the districts are geographically so close together, and blend into one another, symbolising the harmony within Singapore.
Day 3 by Mitchell: Given the politics and historical context of Singapore, we come to understand how such a diverse nation is both united and accepting of one another. Singapore pays great respect to its cultures and its past, using policy and governance as uniting features.
Day 1 by Patrick: Something that amazed me was the size of this humid, green, densely populated nation. I knew that it was very small, but I was extremely surprised to find out that east to west it only stretches 47km, and north to south is only 27km as the crow flies. To put that into perspective, it is 42km from my home to Boyup Brook, the nearest town. The fact that an entire nation's width can fall within just a few extra kilometres of that distance is something that I personally struggle to comprehend.
Day 1 by Brandon: As the group were driven through the city, we stared, in wonder, at the buildings and the many different ways that the Singaporean government had incorporated an immense amount of plant diversity into the city-scape. In amazement, we watched as each building became more entwined with nature than the last. Even on such a small island, they manage to reserve so much space for greenery. The sheer scale of the forestry within the city itself was astonishing. Trees pieced the landscape just as much as the buildings did.
Day 2 by Coby: Today marked the group's first eye-opening introduction into Singapore and offered us a chance to truly immerse ourselves in the Singaporean culture and history. Described as a city where "East meets West," Singapore boasts a highly cultural diverse population and it was interesting to see this illustrated by the different religions and architectural styles present throughout the city's distinctive ethnic areas.
Day 5 by Patrick: In the Battle Box, the tour very hastily made it clear to me that the Allied forces in Singapore were not prepared for the Japanese attack. I also realised that the superiors were well aware of this. General Arthur Percival, the man in charge the of the Allies in Singapore, had made a request for the British War Office to send approximately 600 aircraft, 300 tanks and a Naval Fleet to strengthen Singapore and ensure the safety of the Crown Colony. The return for the request came in the form of 181 outdated aircraft, from late in the First World War, a fleet of two warships and several smaller cruisers with no tanks sent at all.
Day 5 by Janka: What was most interesting for me was the huge pressure Percival faced when deciding whether to surrender to the Japanese. The stigma and blame that was attached to his decision later turned him into the scapegoat for the failure of the Malayan campaign, as he bore the responsibility for the decision. However, I believe that in considering the lives of civilians and the welfare of his men, surrender, albeit difficult, was the right decision considering the circumstance, and that Percival was in that way very brave to risk the staunch pride of the British Empire for the sake of humanity on the island.
Day 5 by Cale: The tour of the Battle Box has tied together the five main parts of the Fall Of Singapore, in my opinion: Firstly, the battle, then the surrender, the incarceration at Changi Gaol, the experiences of the civilians, and the experiences of the POWs along the Burma-Siam Railway and across Asia. Although the tour is only at the halfway mark, I have already learnt more than I could ever hope or wish for, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Hwa Chong Institution.
Day 6 by Mya: The Hwa Chong Institution's open hospitality and friendliness was a credit to themselves and school, and a memory of the Anzac Tour I will treasure. Discussing the internationally contributed Fall of Singapore with Singaporean students, was a sensational conversation; everyone's opinions and thoughts shared and built onto by each other. To be given the opportunity to meet students who have the same passion for history as I do, from an international school, is a privilege I am very grateful for.
Day 8 by Caitlyn: One particular thing that Chris said today was that "when you are exposed to different cultures, your worldview expands significantly." For me, this fully epitomises the tour; the changing perspectives; the broader view of the world; the deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made.

Bill Cosby Assembles "A Sorrowful Sisterhood"
Entertainment| |
In 1988, The Cosby family donated $20 million to the Spelman College in Atlanta, and the professorship was named after Bill Cosby and his wife Camille.
But in 2014, the women's college provisionally suspended the position, when the allegations against The Cosby Show star first emerged, and now they are returning what is left of the fund.
Cosby has been under fire in recent months as dozens of women went public with decades-old allegations of sexual misconduct and rape.
Now those 35 women have posed for a powerful photo shoot and essay series titled Cosby: The Women, An Unwelcome Sisterhood.
On the black-and-white cover, each woman sits in a chair, staring straight at the camera. Each reported victim also has an additional portrait and an accompanying article detailing their thoughts on the scandal, and painful memories. The New York Magazine posted the link to this months issue on their Twitter.
35 women speak about being assaulted by Bill Cosby, and the culture that wouldn't listen: http://t.co/H5dss5F2F4 pic.twitter.com/RCF0BWBrxA
— New York Magazine (@NYMag) July 27, 2015
The magazine also took to Instagram to share the cover photo with an influential caption.
"So far, 46 women have come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault, in some cases, according to a recently unsealed deposition, with aid of quaaludes – a powerful sedative that can render a person functionally immobile. But these allegations are by no means new, with some stretching back decades – to a time when the culture of rape in America left victims little recourse but to suffer silently, and in shame. Today, the way we think and talk about rape has evolved, creating a safer space for survivors to feel empowered by speaking up and reclaiming their victimhood. And that's led us here. Of the 46 women who have come forward to accuse Cosby, we spoke to 35 of them – "a sorrowful sisterhood" of women united by their dark experiences, steadfast in their resolve to remain silent no more."
Janice Dickinson's essay recounted her previous statements, in which she alleged Cosby took advantage of her when she was 28 years old in 1982, and similarly, Johnson's entry also recalled her encounter with Cosby, in which he allegedly drugged her during a meeting about her aspiring acting career.
NYMag posted her clip on their Instagram today, July 27, 2015.
Janice Dickinson, 60, a model, was allegedly assaulted by Bill Cosby in 1982. Cosby invited then-28-year-old Dickinson to Lake Tahoe, saying he had a possible acting opportunity for her. They dined together, and he gave her a pill to take with a glass of wine. "I woke up the next morning, after the incident, with my entire life altered forever, knowing that Bill Cosby had raped me. There was no one there to protect me. I held this inside of my soul for years and years and years. It shouldn't happen to any person, man, woman, or child. The right thing to do is to tell my story, truthfully, the disgusting and humiliating details, blow by blow, that I can share and hopefully stop this man from ever, ever, ever doing it again." Tap the photo to hear Janice Dickinson tell her story, and watch her video interview at nymag.com/cosby-women. ?: Amanda Demme of @janicedickinson
Other women's claims are also akin to Dickinson and Johnson's, and some open up about how their reported assaults changed the course of their lives.
Writer Sammie Mays, who alleges Cosby attacked her in 1986, says, "When I see a Jell-O pudding, it comes flooding back. Bill Cosby, that encounter, that one time, played a major factor in the direction my life took, toward the dark side."
Journalist Joan Tashis, who was one of the first to come forward with allegations in 2014, hopes that after this controversy, Cosby's place in show business history will be marred by his alleged actions.
She tells New York magazine, "I think his legacy is going to be similar to (American footballer) O.J.'s (Simpson) legacy. When you hear O. J. Simpson's name, you don't think, 'Oh, great football player.' That doesn't come to mind first.
"I'm thinking it's not going to be, 'Oh, great comedian.' It's going to be, 'Oh, serial rapist.' And that will be our legacy."
Cosby has denied all the rape allegations and has not been charged with any crime relating to the accusations.
He is currently facing another battle as his legal team fights to stop a judge from allowing unsealed court documents from a 2005 sexual assault case against the comedian to be made public.

Southbank Residents Group
09 Jul 2015
Does the new Planning Minister, Richard Wynne, have Southbank's interests at heart?
Well, in general from my observations from his recent public comments and rejection of some Southbank and non-Southbank developments I was quietly confident Southbank might finally be gaining some traction.
However, this perception came to an abrupt halt when earlier last month an application to amend an already-approved development on the corner of Balston St and City Rd, adding an additional 14 floors, was approved.
So I ask the question, if the City of Melbourne councillors may have contributed to this approval through the application not being considered at a Future Melbourne Committee meeting in November last year owing to a number of councillors being conflicted by developer donations and subsequently the quorum being lost.
I was scathing of council in my column back then and this approval only raises more questions. I intend to address this approval with the Minister personally in my next meeting.
Have you walked across the "renovated" Southbank footbridge lately? Well take your hearing protection as you will need it!
While I understand there was a pressing need for maintenance as the pins holding the planks in were popping out and creating trip hazards, I certainly didn't expect the user experience to worsen.
While it might be safer, it certainly isn't a pleasant walk anymore. I am a farming boy and the sound that comes from the bridge when a large number of people are walking across reminds me of the hoof sound from herding cattle up a loading ramp.
There is a horrible echo in the material which was chosen to replace the planks. It seems to be some carbon-fibre/metal mix, maybe even hollow.
Well if you haven't walked along the footbridge yet, you will certainly know what I mean when you do.
I feel for those patrons in Ponyfish Island, I am not sure how anyone could have a conversation under the bridge now. I think this will be a good item for me to raise with the Lord Mayor at this month's Future Melbourne Committee meeting. I will certainly be recommending he takes a walk across it himself to understand.
Did you know Southbank Residents Group's legitimacy relies on having a membership base?
Our advocacy is only taken seriously when we have numbers backing us up.
If you are a resident or investor in Southbank please consider joining, it is only $10. Details can be found at www.southbankresidents.com.au

The Telegraph, 19.06.15 boarding school students could benefit from better connection to local issues and current affairs according to one headmaster. HMC member Keith Budge, headmaster of Bedales Schools features.
Private pupils at boarding schools are not as savvy about the ways of the world as their state counterparts because of their removed surroundings, a headmaster at a boarding school has said.
Keith Budge, headmaster of Bedales School in Hampshire says private schools need to do more to ensure their pupils are better clued up about political debates.
His warning emerged after he spent a day at King Edward VI, a sixth form college located in Suffolk, during a job swap experiment.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Budge said: "A danger of all enclosed communities, which in a sense schools tend to be, is that they become too inward looking and one of the things that I feel is a great strength at King Edward VI is that it is naturally very well connected with its local community
"There is a sort of savviness, an awareness of the issues of the day and in particular of some of the political issues."
He said boarding schools need to balance the "sense of semi-seclusion" that boarders in rural settings have.
Mr Budge said: "One of the benefits of boarding is that it offers a safe environment, which is slightly removed from normal life. But I was struck at how advantageous it is in so many ways to be a bit closer to some of the realities of life.
"I think political engagement and engagement in the social issues of the day is a pretty important thing for all our young people to have."
Separately, Geoff Barton, headteacher at King Edward VI, spent a day at Mr Budge's school. They both shared their experiences in the Times Education Supplement.
Mr Barton wrote of the experience: "During my visit, I saw much that was liberating. For example, every day students of all ages are expected to participate in outdoor work, working with animals or plants, making or growing things."
He added: "I was pleased to witness a bracing spirit of independence – a school true to its principles, offering something distinctive for its young people, resolutely not bowing to external pressures to conform."

The development of artificial intelligence has been very successful in the last ten years. Nevertheless, reality often does not do justice to what is commonly imagined under artificial intelligence. In a guest lecture at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, Alexander C. S. Hendorf, Managing Partner at the strategy and data science consultancy Königsweg, advised (prospective) managers to keep an eye on progress in the field of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence has existed since the 1940s. Since 1964, computers are able to recognize the gender of a person by analyzing an image. The technological possibilities of the 2010s, especially access to large volumes of data, the globalization of research and open source software, have catalyzed the further development of artificial brains.
As Alexander C. S. Hendorf of Königsweg pointed out, many current programs of artificial intelligence have their inspirational origins in the film industry. Conversations with computers that follow complex instructions and respond in human language were still visionary in the early Star Trek seasons. With Alexa, Siri and Co., they have now become reality. When it comes to artificial intelligence, fiction is usually several years to decades ahead of reality.
Hendorf warned against falling prey to the hype about artificial intelligence that is intensified by the creativity of filmmakers. Data are not unbiased and their evaluation can therefore lead to erroneous results. It is also possible to trick programs of artificial intelligence. Besides, he emphasized that managers do not have to be data experts, but should be to some extent concerned with the various areas of data processing. Especially repetitive tasks could be automated; the market potential of in-house AI applications is gigantic. Close cooperation with experts is important. In addition, Hendorf pleaded for a worldwide networking of data experts to be able to work together and openly on the further development of artificial intelligence.
The guest lecture was part of the course "Introduction to Python and Programming" in the WHU Bachelor Program.

As Cuba threatens to cut off direct telephone service from the United States just after midnight tonight, U.S. phone companies are preparing to route calls through third countries.
Customers can expect delays, but service will not be entirely cut off.
"We're working to ensure the least possible disruption of service to our customers during this period," said AT&T; spokesman Gustavo Alfonso. "Customers may experience some delays."
AT&T; operates about half of the estimated 1,000 direct phone circuits from the United States into Cuba. Most of the calls originate in South Florida, where the telephone connection is a link between Cuban exiles and their relatives on the island.
Alfonso said the company would return to practices used before 1994, when direct-dial service into Cuba was allowed for the first time under the three-decade-old U.S. economic embargo against the communist island.
Cuba is threatening to cut direct service to head off a plan to route phone money to the families of Brothers to the Rescue members shot down by Cuban fighters three years ago today.
The families went to federal court in Miami and won a $187 million judgment against Cuba, but have been unable to collect so far.
The families contend that they have the right to garnish Cuba's profits from the island's long-distance agreement with AT&T; and other carriers. The payments total about $6 million a month or $72 million a year.
Attorneys for AT&T;, MCI and other carriers have stopped making those payments pending the outcome of the Miami case filed by the Brothers' families. U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King is expected to make a final ruling on whether the families are entitled to that money this week.
If Cuba follows through on its threat to cut direct service, people trying to call in from the United States should dial as usual. "Customers should continue to dial the same way they have been," Alfonso said. "However, with the limited number of circuits, it will be harder to get through."

The Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC ), has called on the media to deeply engage in sensitization and concientisation exercise targeted at educating the voter.
The National Commissioner, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Barrister Festus Okoye, explained that there was urgent need to build public confidence in the electoral process through holistic voter education and general enlightenment of the electorate.
Okoye who was represented by the State Commissioner, Prof. Abdulganiy Raji said this in Ado Ekiti on Friday at the zonal sensitisation forum for the media organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at the forum, Okoye said the Commission's was adequately prepared to conduct the coming elections with all activities attached to electioneering processes are almost fulfilled as entrusted by the constitution.
He said: "since the release of the timetable for electoral events, the Commission has been diligently implementing the schedule of activities for the 2019 general elections.
"We have so far implemented most of the activities, soon, we shall implement all and fulfil the mandate thrust upon us by the constitution".
Okoye who urged all registered voters who are yet to collect their Permanent Voters Cards to go and collect them, nothing that INEC has made special arrangement to make the pvcs available at the designated centres across wards.
The National Commissioner stressed that smart cards reader was designed to authenticate, confirm and verify the fingerprint of the voters as an additional confirmatory procedure to avert electoral malpractices.
In a case, the finger is not authenticated by the card reader but the PVC is confirmed as genuine and the voter's personal details are consistent with the manual register, the electorate shall be allowed to vote, he added.
Okoye who spoke on the existing challenge of vote buying said the electoral body has put in place measures aiming at curtailing the vote buying on the forthcoming general elections.

He said: "We have received credible information that some politicians are financially inducing electorate to collect the Voter Identification Numbers(VIN) on their PVCs since it will be difficult to buy votes at the polling units".
He, however, assured Nigerians that INEC will collaborate with security agencies to deal with the violators of electoral laws, including those who may be trying to compromise its staff to perpetuate the illegal acts.
Meanwhile, the Resident Electoral Commissioner warned its staff against conniving with politicians to promote the culture of vote buying that has inhibited democratic consolidation in the country.
Raji said: "The commission can't deny the fact that there was vote buying in the system, but this was being done by politicians by way of manipulating the placement of the polling booths so that those voting can be monitored for financial inducement.
"In most cases, some party leaders do coerce or manipulate our staff so that they can be favoured in such arrangement which INEC did not support.
"INEC is not in support of any action that can affect the actual outcome of elections and hamper democratic consolidation", he declared.


text: Jersey set to attract US fund managers 24 September 2018 Fund Services 0 comments Share By Nick Solt, Managing Director, Moore Stephens Fund Services New legislation in Jersey that will enable the establishment of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) is set to make the island a more attractive proposition for pan-Atlantic business. US institutions, and fund managers in particular, view LLCs as an appropriate structure for a wide variety of funds. Alternative investment Funds in particular are often structured as an LLC by US advisers and managers. Their familiarity with LLCs means that they can now view Jersey as a more natural domicile for their fund structures and give them a familiar option for cross-border structuring. More than two thirds of all new transparent business structures formed in the US each year are LLCs which are often referred to as a 'hybrid' structure; combining the flexibility and privacy of a partnership with the protective limited liability of a company. Their popularity is in part down to the fact that they can be used in a variety of different ways: in addition to fund structuring they are often used for simple businesses run by one or two people right up to holding vehicle for large public company structures. Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance said recently: "We are confident that the Jersey LLC can provide an attractive proposition for US-based hedge fund managers, particularly in operating master-feeder structures. We anticipate strong growth in this area, whilst we also believe the LLC can be a really positive addition to our suite of vehicles more widely to enable better international structuring." The new law was passed on the 11 September 2018.
