I am not opposed to the healthy remuneration of executives for success – quite the opposite – however it has become clear that Corporate Britain has been captured by ridiculous levels of pay for executives who fail to deliver business success.
As the owner of Phones4U, I deliberately created a system that motivated workers financially, whereby senior managers would be significantly rewarded for long-term performance at a high level. The skill of leading executives is priceless for a business; they have the ability to take a firm to the next level and significantly boost shareholder value – the most crucial factor when considering remuneration.
What can be even worse from a business development perspective is the cost of attrition, losing highly talented people who are relied on most. They must be retained, even if their salaries seem inflated. But what we are regularly seeing is executives who consistently fail to deliver long-term financial success for their companies being rewarded with exponential salaries and dishonest bonus packages.
This has triggered significant attention and debate over the past twelve months, as wages fail to keep a pace with inflation, and more stories of excessive executive pay are reported. These have included the BHS fat cats who benefited most from the bailout package agreed following the company’s collapse, and UK university chiefs taking home up to £468,000.
Whether successful executives are worth what they are being paid is often ignored; the assumption is that they are overpaid and could not possibly be delivering value which is consistent with their sizeable salaries. From the perspective of a business owner, this is often misguided and oversimplified. Shareholder value is the greatest determining factor when considering an executive’s pay; they can make or break your business. If they are adding significant value and are acting responsibly to improve a company’s reputation, then quite simply they deserve their pay, and bonus.
Two examples of the importance of executives stand out; Apple lost 3% of its value when its CEO Steve Jobs died, knocking around $10bn (£6.1bn) off the company’s value, while Microsoft gained 8% when Steve Ballmer resigned. Executives like Steve Jobs are paid so handsomely because the decisions they make are vital for the success of the business, and if you want to attract the very best to your firm, you have to pay them accordingly.
However, the long-term approach to financial incentives and salaries that I adopted at Phones4U is not often employed by other businesses and is replaced by an insatiable drive for short term profitability, and, worst of all, a system based on overall business turnover calculated on an annual basis. Shareholder value is ignored by many. Executives are often not aligned with the long-term success of their company, and are instead incentivised to make business decisions which could be damaging in the long-run.
This is a difficult subject for companies looking to future-proof their business. Executives with a short-term outlook are without an incentive to protect the reputation of their company. A business’ reputation takes years, if not decades, to build, yet can be destroyed in a heartbeat by a reckless commercial decision. A damaged reputation will always impact share price – reinforcing the need for executive pay and performance to be closely aligned with a company’s long-term shareholder value.
An issue often ignored in this debate is executive severance packages. This is fat cat pay at its most preposterous. Despite apparent failures, executives receive multi-million-pound pay-offs. A business often feels it has no choice but to do so, as they are left powerless in fear of former executives dirtying the name of their company.
Worse still, these same executives who consistently fail in their roles go from job to job, collecting compensation packages at every turn. These executives are legally protected, and are simply not held accountable under the current system for their poor performance.
Corporate Britain is undoubtedly in a perilous position. Inflated salaries and bonus pay-outs are unaligned to shareholder value. Power has shifted to executives, who are able to perform poorly and negotiate their own severance package from a position of unfettered power. This leaves less senior employees alienated by the financial security they see in their executives, and the apparent injustice of such an unmeritocratic system.
If the government is serious about tackling excessive pay, more needs to be done to empower company shareholders, realigning remuneration with long-term performance. Employment law needs to be less protective of the senior executives, and financial incentives must be restructured to align with long term objectives. Without comprehensive reform, the fat cats will only get fatter.

This application page is specifically for obtaining bonds for projects less than $1,000,000 without necessarily having CPA prepared financial statements. Although employing the services of a CPA to maximize bonding capacity is usually recommended, we can help you bond larger jobs IF you can send us paperwork documenting your qualifications.
Want to try an alternate than the above?
* Another similar application can be made.
* Business Financial Statements - At least internally prepared financial presentations are the most important item. Fiscal year ending (usually December 31) statement should be more than just a balance sheet and profit and loss statement, additional schedules showing Accounts Receivables & Accounts Payables.. and more are highly recommended & may be later required anyhow. To maximize results, don't stop there! Not always nessary but include agings and detail if at all possible. Including cash back up documentation such as the first page of personal & company bank statement(s). Next, if it has been more than six months since the fiscal year end, then another more current statement is also highly recommended. Additionally provide former year end financial presentations for best results.
Bonding is frequently available without all of the above! Sometimes some.

We love learning new languages at our house and we need all the help we can get in that department! My kids are very motivated to learn Spanish because we live in an area with many native Spanish speakers. We were excited to review a new-to-us language program – Mango Languages using their Mango Homeschool Edition!
Mango Languages is an online language course that allows you access to over 60 foreign languages from which to choose when beginning to learn a language. With a subscription, you are able to browse the list of language programs and choose from any of the languages – or even choose more than one to try.
Mango is designed for students ages 6 and older. They have programs for those in the corporate world, for personal use, or for homeschool families.
The program also has features for discussion between users of the program in forums for each language.
Mango also has mobile apps for iPod, iPad, and Android for language-learning on the go!
We used the Homeschool Edition of the program.
My kids decided they would like to learn Spanish and I chose Spanish as well. I also tried a few lessons of Russian to experiment with a new language.
I started all my kids at the first lesson even though Curly has studied Spanish in the past. However, I took the placement test for Spanish (I didn’t place very far into the program so I began at the second lesson). I started at the beginning of the Russian program.
We worked on Spanish 4 days per week. We usually worked to complete one lesson per day. It quickly became apparent that the amount of vocabulary presented, as well as the grammar information, was too much for Tiger and Bee. Instead of working on the program themselves, they often sat in while Curly worked through her lessons. Curly was able to complete one lesson per day but some lessons were fairly long and took her about 30 minutes.
Each lesson had multiple screens containing vocabulary, review, grammar tips, cultural information, and pronunciation help. The lessons often had around 50 screens to work through as part of the lesson. The end of each chapter contained a review quiz.
When working on new words and phrases there is an option to listen to the pronunciation and then record yourself saying it. You can record yourself and play it back as often as you need to in order to check your pronunciation. I found this to be so helpful when I was trying to compare how I was saying the words to the correct pronunciation.
A pronunciation key is provided when you are learning a new word. You can click on the word and a bubble appears above the word which shows you the pronunciation. I found this very helpful when I was trying to learn Russian. Russian letters look nothing like our alphabet so seeing how the word should be said if written in our English letters helped me tremendously!
You control the pace of the lessons by clicking the next arrows when you are ready to move to a new screen. This allows you to work on a word or phrase for as long as you need to before advancing to the next screen of the lesson. We enjoyed that we could progress at our own speed and not feel rushed.
The lessons had great review and ask you to recall words from different points in the lesson. I found the review to be very beneficial and I know it helped Curly as she used the program. The lessons move fairly quickly so any amount of review was good to have.
The program can be difficult and overwhelming to navigate in the beginning. Although there are instructions provided which detail how to set up your account and choose your languages, I still found it took me some time to feel comfortable navigating the site.
Some languages have files that can be downloaded that contain a lesson guide with vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar helps. I found the downloads for the languages I was trying to study invaluable! It was helpful to have a written guide for reference.
There are multiple options to participate in forums, chat with others learning the same language, and post comments on your “Say Wall.” I found these features somewhat difficult to use and I was unsure how to use some of them. I could not figure out how the “Say Wall” was beneficial. I also did not find the forums to add to our experience. Instead, we stuck to just working through the lessons without using many of the other features.
I did have one other comment about the chat forums. I’m not sure I would want my young children to interact with others online – and I don’t think they are old enough to keep up a “chat” conversation (they don’t type well). So, I would have preferred a way to turn off this feature or a way to keep them from being able to access the forums. While the forums are for paid users of the program and are not public, I don’t feel that they would benefit my young language learners.
Because most of the lesson was working through vocabulary words and orally responding when prompted to provide a word or phrase, it can be difficult to track and assess student progress if you are not in the room with them to verify that they are pronouncing the words correctly. The lessons don’t ask you to click on pictures or phrases to choose the correct one – the lessons ask you to respond aloud to provide the words. I was left wishing that there were more activities that required the students to select correct answers rather than just the quizzes so I could see a record of progress. It would be very easy for a student to breeze through the lessons without giving the oral responses, but waiting for the computer to provide the correct response. Of course, this student would not have done well on the quiz. But the nature of the program means the student must be accountable for participating in each lesson.
I found it difficult to track Curly’s progress since I could not view quiz reports or lesson progress. The quizzes only provide a percentage of answers correct but do not indicate which questions you missed. Because of this, I found that I had to be sitting right next to Curly to truly assess her progress for myself. This isn’t a feasible option in my busy house. So, I would like to see improved options for viewing quiz results and tracking and assessing progress.
At the time of the review, Mango had not completed all of the options for the Homeschool Edition which I reviewed. Some features were not available to me and others may not have been fully functioning. In addition, they plan to upgrade the tracking features and the quizzes to allow for better assessment by the parent/teacher.
I’m hopeful that these changes enhance our experience with the program. I also hope they provide more explanation of the various features so I can better understand how to use them to the fullest extent.
So be aware that there are updated features coming soon!
The version I reviewed was the Beta version.
We found Mango to be a fun program and very helpful for learning another language. The pace moves fairly quickly so it would be difficult for the younger language learners. I would recommend the program for children who are in upper elementary or older and have had some background in grammar and are solid readers.
We found the vocabulary, pronunciation helps, grammar tips, and cultural information to be informative and create a well-rounded program. But I did find all the extra features in the program to be a little confusing and overwhelming. We did not need/want to use them for our studies and rather focused solely on the language lessons.
While we used the homeschool edition of this program, I found the language programs to be geared more toward someone who is planning to travel to the foreign country rather than a student learning the language for basic conversation. The topics covered, such as dining, asking for help, using the bank, and sightseeing were not vocabulary that my children would need at their ages. I was hoping for vocabulary that would be more pertinent to someone who is learning the language to speak with someone locally or to be able to read books in Spanish. Many of the phrases would not be helpful or applicable to my children – they were more interested in learning vocabulary for words that they would actually use day-to-day. So, the vocabulary and topics covered were not quite what I was hoping for in a program for younger language learners. It would be excellent preparation for traveling to a foreign country, however.

Integration and orchestration has always been a challenge for most enterprise systems. When the cloud arrived, another layer of complexity was added to the equation of integration. Within the on premise (within a customer-controlled environment) world, something like BizTalk would be a choice for integrating and setting up communication between internal & external systems. Within the cloud there was a gap for this kind of solution. Microsoft decided to take BizTalk’s concept of workflows, designed via any web browser, to develop a scalable integrated solution, and called it Logic Apps.
Microsoft have invested a lot time and money to bring the technology to Azure and to move the cloud towards a serverless architecture. The idea to create, develop and deploy without worrying about the infrastructure, is an interesting concept and Logic Apps are a good example this approach.
Actions: These are selected and driven by the user. For example, sending an email when a request has been received.
Triggers: A trigger is a notification when an event has occurred. For example, when a new file has been uploaded to a specific file storage account. There are 2 types of triggers, Polling and Pushing Triggers.
There are 2 different type of connectors, Built-In actions or Managed.
Built-In Actions: These are actions to call an API endpoint, provide an HTTP endpoint, call other Logic Apps or Azure functions or schedule a reoccurring task.
Managed: These managed connectors provide access to APIs for various services. They fall into various categories of Standard Connectors, On-Premise Connectors, integration Account Connectors and Enterprise Connectors.
Logic apps provide the facility to add conditions after each action. This operation is optional and not mandatory. To add a condition, click in the plus after an action and select “Add a condition”. You will be presented with 3 boxes the first is the field to be evaluated, the second is the evaluation operation and the final box is the comparison value.
Logic app actions are grouped into API actions, Workflow actions and Condition actions.
Settings brings up the following options, which alters the behaviour of the action, but in most cases these options are rarely changed.
When I first started to use logic apps, I applied if statements and switch statements based on action result until I found this setting. The action is only run when the condition is true, in the example below, only if the previous action was successful this action will execute.
This option is very useful, if you want to, for example, verify the correct variables/objects have been selected and applied to the action for it to execute successfully. I have used this option to copy and reapply a connection string to a new action to provide consistency and speed up the development process.
The following example is a completed logic app within the browser, but what is happening under the hood?
ContentVersion: This is the definition version.
Parameters: Within your workflow, you can specify input parameters with a maximum of 50 per workflow. These are useful when passing data from one action to another.
Trigger: This is where the workflow triggers are defined and configured.
Actions: The actions within the workflow are defined within this section of the schema.
Outputs: The outputs of each action are defined within the section of the schema.
In addition to the basic schema, you’ll have a variable called “$connections”.
The connection values can contain multiple connections, for various resources across the Azure platform. The values are added when you add a new connection via the UI. This is where it pays to build your initial workflow within the browser and not within Visual Studio. However, this presents another problem around tokenising which I will cover in further sections of this blog.
Logic apps have the capability to use Key Vault to secure connection strings and other key data. I would certainly recommend implementing Key Vault early in the development process as it is best practice Please refer to Microsoft documentation for further guidance.
Who Should Develop Logic Apps?
Logic apps are a simple and easy tool to use to design and create any integration for any size solution, so the question is, who should develop logic apps? I would say anyone who has some knowledge of how applications are architected and talk to each other. It all depends on how much experience the designer has as to how complex the workflow can be. In my own experience, workflow development has not been a difficult issue, but some of the blockers I have come across relate to the lack of integration into other systems or custom functionality required to complete the workflow.
For example, whilst working on a solution, I was unsure how we could integrate authentication into the flow. The problem I faced was getting authenticated against many AAD instances and then completing the flow. How can you keep the data secure and reuse the tokens? I developed an Azure Function to keep the configuration separate from the calling action and give me greater control over the implementation of the authentication mechanism. I also was able to reuse the same function in other child workflows.
Could Logic Apps be Part of a Domain Solution?
I came across the term Domain Driven Development (DDD) over a decade ago, but never got the opportunity to deep dive and develop a solution with the methodology, so my experience with DDD is very limited. From what I have experienced, using DDD with cloud technologies, I would say (in answer to the question “could Logic Apps be part of a domain solution?”) yes, it’s certainly possible. Especially around handling Azure Service Bus messages from one domain to another or handling interactions from an external source, whether its via web API or WCF. The ability to create custom functions can overcome any specific requirements to connect systems together.
We covered how to develop Logic Apps, and the benefits, but what are the downside in its current form?
I have highlighted from the Workflow Definition Language, connections are generated and hardcoded to the workflow, so what do you do if you want to deploy the workflow into multiple environments? This is where provisioning a workflow can be a painful process. During the development of the last project I worked on, the team discovered an issue with tokenising connection strings, specifically, how to extract the correct API connection string for a specific resource against an environment. Logic App API Connections are added to workflow and the resource group with the following format <Connection Type><Number>, for example ServiceBus1, ServiceBus2. This is not particularly useful when you wish to provision multiple connections to similar resources.
"StorageAccountId": "[concat('/subscriptions/', subscription().subscriptionId, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/', resourceGroup().location, '/managedApis/azureblob')]"
There is one issue around this approach, tokenisation. One small change can be a lengthy process, which goes against the ethos of fast development, deployment and scalable solutions. I go into more details around this in the next section.
In the first iteration of a spike, we started with a large workflow encompassing all the necessary actions. Over time this became too difficult to manage, especially in the browser. If you’re zoomed in to a specific action within the browser and make a change, the browser will refresh and point to another part of the workflow that you’re not working on. This became very frustrating and unworkable. To alleviate this issue, I broke up the Logic App into smaller ones. This made the maintenance easier to manage and gave each Logic App a Single Point of Responsibility. The tokenisation of smaller workflows became an easier task to manage, and the team can resolve issues quickly. The workflow and deployment scripts can be added to source control and this provides controls around the development and release of new features.
I think Logic Apps, are a good piece of tech for orchestration on the Azure platform, however, it’s still evolving, and the process of development and deployment is not as straight forward as the documentation would lead you to believe. Once the deployment of a Logic App is more in line with how other resources are provisioned and deployed it could be become a useful tool within any user’s arsenal to develop/integrate solutions together. Knowing the limitations is half the battle, once you are aware you can allow for any additional time required for deployments. With no specific hardware to configure, the workflow is based on workload only. This is where Microsoft plan to take their new serverless architecture, on a cost per action plan.
The integration with Azure Functions is a nice touch for any custom work that needs to be carried out. I can only see this area getting better and better. Watch this space.

lowercased:
integration and orchestration has always been a challenge for most enterprise systems. when the cloud arrived, another layer of complexity was added to the equation of integration. within the on premise (within a customer-controlled environment) world, something like biztalk would be a choice for integrating and setting up communication between internal & external systems. within the cloud there was a gap for this kind of solution. microsoft decided to take biztalk’s concept of workflows, designed via any web browser, to develop a scalable integrated solution, and called it logic apps.
microsoft have invested a lot time and money to bring the technology to azure and to move the cloud towards a serverless architecture. the idea to create, develop and deploy without worrying about the infrastructure, is an interesting concept and logic apps are a good example this approach.
actions: these are selected and driven by the user. for example, sending an email when a request has been received.
triggers: a trigger is a notification when an event has occurred. for example, when a new file has been uploaded to a specific file storage account. there are 2 types of triggers, polling and pushing triggers.
there are 2 different type of connectors, built-in actions or managed.
built-in actions: these are actions to call an api endpoint, provide an http endpoint, call other logic apps or azure functions or schedule a reoccurring task.
managed: these managed connectors provide access to apis for various services. they fall into various categories of standard connectors, on-premise connectors, integration account connectors and enterprise connectors.
logic apps provide the facility to add conditions after each action. this operation is optional and not mandatory. to add a condition, click in the plus after an action and select “add a condition”. you will be presented with 3 boxes the first is the field to be evaluated, the second is the evaluation operation and the final box is the comparison value.
logic app actions are grouped into api actions, workflow actions and condition actions.
settings brings up the following options, which alters the behaviour of the action, but in most cases these options are rarely changed.
when i first started to use logic apps, i applied if statements and switch statements based on action result until i found this setting. the action is only run when the condition is true, in the example below, only if the previous action was successful this action will execute.
this option is very useful, if you want to, for example, verify the correct variables/objects have been selected and applied to the action for it to execute successfully. i have used this option to copy and reapply a connection string to a new action to provide consistency and speed up the development process.
the following example is a completed logic app within the browser, but what is happening under the hood?
contentversion: this is the definition version.
parameters: within your workflow, you can specify input parameters with a maximum of 50 per workflow. these are useful when passing data from one action to another.
trigger: this is where the workflow triggers are defined and configured.
actions: the actions within the workflow are defined within this section of the schema.
outputs: the outputs of each action are defined within the section of the schema.
in addition to the basic schema, you’ll have a variable called “$connections”.
the connection values can contain multiple connections, for various resources across the azure platform. the values are added when you add a new connection via the ui. this is where it pays to build your initial workflow within the browser and not within visual studio. however, this presents another problem around tokenising which i will cover in further sections of this blog.
logic apps have the capability to use key vault to secure connection strings and other key data. i would certainly recommend implementing key vault early in the development process as it is best practice please refer to microsoft documentation for further guidance.
who should develop logic apps?
logic apps are a simple and easy tool to use to design and create any integration for any size solution, so the question is, who should develop logic apps? i would say anyone who has some knowledge of how applications are architected and talk to each other. it all depends on how much experience the designer has as to how complex the workflow can be. in my own experience, workflow development has not been a difficult issue, but some of the blockers i have come across relate to the lack of integration into other systems or custom functionality required to complete the workflow.
for example, whilst working on a solution, i was unsure how we could integrate authentication into the flow. the problem i faced was getting authenticated against many aad instances and then completing the flow. how can you keep the data secure and reuse the tokens? i developed an azure function to keep the configuration separate from the calling action and give me greater control over the implementation of the authentication mechanism. i also was able to reuse the same function in other child workflows.
could logic apps be part of a domain solution?
i came across the term domain driven development (ddd) over a decade ago, but never got the opportunity to deep dive and develop a solution with the methodology, so my experience with ddd is very limited. from what i have experienced, using ddd with cloud technologies, i would say (in answer to the question “could logic apps be part of a domain solution?”) yes, it’s certainly possible. especially around handling azure service bus messages from one domain to another or handling interactions from an external source, whether its via web api or wcf. the ability to create custom functions can overcome any specific requirements to connect systems together.
we covered how to develop logic apps, and the benefits, but what are the downside in its current form?
i have highlighted from the workflow definition language, connections are generated and hardcoded to the workflow, so what do you do if you want to deploy the workflow into multiple environments? this is where provisioning a workflow can be a painful process. during the development of the last project i worked on, the team discovered an issue with tokenising connection strings, specifically, how to extract the correct api connection string for a specific resource against an environment. logic app api connections are added to workflow and the resource group with the following format <connection type><number>, for example servicebus1, servicebus2. this is not particularly useful when you wish to provision multiple connections to similar resources.
"storageaccountid": "[concat('/subscriptions/', subscription().subscriptionid, '/providers/microsoft.web/locations/', resourcegroup().location, '/managedapis/azureblob')]"
there is one issue around this approach, tokenisation. one small change can be a lengthy process, which goes against the ethos of fast development, deployment and scalable solutions. i go into more details around this in the next section.

Justin shows us, yet again, that you don't need a glamorous Napa Valley address to make a concentrated, fruit-filled Cabernet. The 2007 vintage is indicative of this great vintage - spicy cherry, black plum, saddle leather and garrigue aromas create a tantalizing bouquet. In the mouth, the wine layers sultry black fruit, caramel and sweet American oak flavors that linger on the finish. Soft tannins keep this readily approachable.
- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.
- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.
- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.
- Located about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this inland AVA enjoys a sunny and hot growing period while its seaside neighbors hang in the fog. Zinfandel is the traditional red grape of choice, though cabernet, chardonnay, and Rhône varietals are gaining favor. Most are made in a fruit-forward, early drinking style.

Focus is instead on online functionality and new games.
Hardware revisions are commonplace in the gaming industry, but according to a new report an updated model of Nintendo's Switch console won't be released this year. Instead, players hoping for an upgrade will have to wait until 2019 at the earliest.
Sources close to Nintendo told The Wall Street Journal that Nintendo hopes to drive sales this year not through new hardware, but through enhancing the console's online infrastructure before it goes premium, and another strong year of game releases.
Mario Tennis Aces, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Fire Emblem, a new Yoshi and more are among the new releases expected in 2018.
It comes off the back of a stellar first year for the console, which started with launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and ended with Super Mario Odyssey. Both featured in our top three overall games of the year.
Another major release for Switch this year is Nintendo Labo, the game-maker's offbeat, peripheral-led game that tasks players with building creations such as remote control cars and pianos from cardboard.
These creations, called Toy-Cons, can then be used in games and can be further tinkered with to create new contraptions only limited by the player's imaginations (and cardboard supplies). Suffice to say we were impressed when we went hands-on in February.
Switch has been an enormous and sorely-needed success for Nintendo following the bitterly disappointing sales of Wii U. The new device, which is both a home console and a handheld, has already outsold its predecessor, hitting nearly 15 million units sold in just ten months.
It's expected to hit 17 million before the financial year concludes at the end of March.
A hardware revision is likely to happen at some point. Nintendo has offered multiple iterations of past consoles, particularly its handhelds, and there are areas where the hardware could be improved.
For example, the Switch's internal storage, which is a paltry 32GB - smaller than some games - making additional SD cards a necessary purchase. There's also the possibility of a Switch capable of 4G connectivity, which would expand the reach of it as a portable.

If you’ve followed Silke Kitchens since our inception, you know that we are proud of a number of things. We’re proud that we offer some of the highest quality, German style kitchens at very competitive prices; we’re proud of the fact that we work so closely with a number of top-of-the-line companies; one of the things we’re most proud of, however, is the fact that creating and designing your dream kitchen with us is so phenomenally easy. One of the things that makes that process so easy is that we’re registered as a Siemens iQ Design Studio.
We’ve touched on our partnership with Siemens before, but as a brief reminder: Siemens are a German company with a finger in almost every kind of manufacturing field you can imagine, from fire safety equipment to medical equipment, although naturally it’s their kitchen appliance division we’re most interested in. Our partnership extends not only to providing a number of their ultra modern kitchen appliances in our kitchen packages, but also by adopting their iQ Design Studio model.
So, what exactly IS a Siemens iQ Design Studio, some of you might be asking yourselves? It’s fairly simple, really; a Siemens iQ Design Studio is a kitchen provider marked for it’s excellence by Siemens personally, staffed by design experts with full training in the companies wide range of appliances, and are more then willing to work closely with their clientele during the design brief stage. Many retailers that are assigned iQ Design Studio status also have live cooking appliance demonstrations within their showrooms! In essence, a Siemens iQ Design Studio-certified kitchen company offers it’s customers a personal, easy, but no less professional service that is practically unrivalled in both customer satisfaction, and the quality of the end result.
What, exactly, does being a Siemens iQ Design Studio mean for Silke, and by proxy your experience with us? Well, for starters, it allows us unparalleled access to a number of Siemens incredible appliances, and a number of our kitchen packages include Siemens-branded Ovens, Fridges, and Dishwashers to name just a few of. Secondly, as briefly touched upon in the previous paragraph, our designers are fully trained in the operation and installation of the Siemens appliances we offer- and that’s on top of the fact that our designers are experts in the field of kitchen design, too. In addition, our dedication to supplying only the most cutting edge appliances (going hand in hand with our ultramodern design philosophy) puts us in similar standing with Siemens, who themselves offer some of the most cutting edge appliances on the market. You can not only trust that the design experience will be easy, friendly, and readily understandable, but you can also trust that the end result of all the work will be both stylish and functional, no matter the amount of space or budget you’re working with.
And finally, one of the features of our design phase is the use of an ultra realistic, top-of-the-line 3D modelling program that ensures the plans we make for your kitchen are as close to the end result as is physically possible. Pairing that with the benefits that come with being a Siemens iQ Design Studio, and it’s a no-brainer as to why so many people choose to work with us over other kitchen providers.
As stated in the initial paragraph, we are proud of many things and rightly so, we believe. But perhaps what we’re most proud of above anything else is that with us, the sum of our parts; the design, the range of appliances and worktops, and the services we offer, are not only fantastic on their own, but combine to create something truly phenomenal.

In one of the biggest political upsets this year, conservative lawyer Joe Miller toppled incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski in Alaska's GOP primary. Though Murkowski conceded defeat to the Sarah Palin endorsed candidate, she quickly flipped the script, launching a quixotic write-in campaign to keep her Senate seat. The initial reactions to her divisive move weren't kind, but moderate Republicans jumped on board and Murkowski's campaign became symbolic of the larger in-fighting between the GOP establishment and the Tea Party. The latest wave of polling now shows Murkowski "deadlocked" with Joe Miller, and ahead of Democrat Scott McAdams. Pundits are giving a second (or third or fourth) look at the possibility of the Alaskan Senator reclaiming her seat.
'Don't Count Her Out Yet' observes Jay Newton-Small at Time. "Miller's candidacy has provoked panic in the state and local employees' unions, including the firefighter, police and teachers' associations, and all of Alaska's native tribes," he figures. And while Murkowski would be the first candidate to win a write-in bid since Strom Thurmond in 1954, "She hails from a state known for voting with its wallet, and that wallet has been thin of late."
Polling This Race Will Be Difficult explains blogger Allahpundit at Hot Air. "Polls of this race are tricky twice over, once because Alaska is notoriously difficult to gauge and twice because the nature of Murkowski’s candidacy poses a dilemma for the pollster. Do you do it the way Scott Rasmussen does it, offering respondents a choice between Miller and McAdams to reflect the choices on the ballot and letting them volunteer Murkowski’s name instead? Or do you name all three candidates and ask if respondents will be 'writing in' Murkowski?"
The Whole Process Takes Tremendous Voter Education finds The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza who quotes Jean Craciun from Alaska-based Craciun Research. "You cannot entirely compensate for a write-in candidate and that's why the margin is significant in this case," Craciun told the Post. "We know the intent of voters at this point -- and more than 40% of Alaskans polled are with Lisa. Now it will be Lisa's job to teach Alaskans how to show their intent on Election Day."
One Big Caveat Politico's Andy Barr hedges, "While the polls are good news for Murkowski, neither survey was able to gauge the likelihood that voters will indeed write in Murkowski’s name on the ballot—or if they will be able to correctly do so in order for their vote to be counted." Still, she,"appears to be pulling enough Republicans away from Miller and Democrats from McAdams to make it a race."
Let's Look at the Upside writes pollster Nate Silver at The New York Times: "As we had noted earlier, it is probably the case that polls that treat write-in bids as though they are conventional ones overestimate their support — but it is very difficult to say how large the effect is."
Miller Has the Edge even though the most recent polls show that the incumbent has "essentially" pulled even, The American Spectator's Philip Klein isn't quite sure she can eke out a win: "One would have to think that Murkowski's name not being on the ballot will cost her a lot of votes, thus I'd still be inclined to give Miller the edge unless polls start to show Murkowski with a big lead."
It's Over Already declares blogger Ian Lazaran at Conservatives 4 Palin. "If Murkowski cannot get ahead of Miller even when pollsters include her name as an option, there's no way she'll ever be able to pull ahead as her name will not appear on the ballot in reality. Murkowski had previously effectively claimed that she would take the lead if her name was included in polling but her claims were proven false....So even under the most favorable poll that Murkowski could have asked for, she's still trailing Joe Miller."
