The NCLT principal bench said the petition filed by Vistrat Real Estate, an entity operated by Neeraj Singal, was non-maintainable. Vistrat is a related party of Bhushan Steel and its former promoters Brijbhushan Singal and Neeraj Singal, who were also “time and again authorised to act on behalf of the company” even though they were not on the board of directors, it said.
“It can be safely concluded that the corporate debtor has substantive control in the petitioner’s company,” the bench observed in the order reviewed by ET. “Such transactions are liable to be gone into during the resolution process and deemed to be a preferential transaction.”
The bench said that in any case, the petitioner’s claim of a default is the subject matter of serious dispute.
Bhushan Steel was represented by senior counsel Gopal Jain and VP Singh, partner and head of litigation at AZB & Partners. Bhushan Steel was led to insolvency resolution by State Bank of India in 2017 for owing Rs 44,000 crore to lenders and was acquired by Tata Steel in May last year.
Vistrat claimed the default on Rs 17.97 crore took place in June last year, arising out of a property leased to Bhushan Steel in 2015 for Rs 6 crore every month.
The rental was subsequently found to be higher than the market value by the Bhushan Steel resolution professional, who paid Vistrat Rs 5.6 crore and terminated the agreement after Tata Steel took over the company in May. The premises were vacated in September last year.
This was not disclose petition.

Cáviti System Definition
The Caviti construction system is made by joining pieces of sacrificial formwork of varying heights depending on the characteristics and plan of the construction project. The modules are made of black recycled thermo-injected polypropylene.
Caviti sacrificial formworks exhibit a flat topped sinusoidal geometry, presenting equally spaced perpendicular ridges which begin at the midpoint of each element descending and terminating at the structural columns of the formwork that are on its vertices.
The structural pillar formed by the union of four Caviti modules is completely watertight.
The pieces are joined together with rebates and in the order indicated by the arrows located on the upper dome of the modules, which results in the formation of the slab.
There are no special pieces for perimeters or joinings with protruding elements on construction sites. The Caviti system is easily adaptable to the geometry of works by means of conventional cutting machinery, such as a jig saw or similar.

The giant Viking owl has three major attacks: chucking a spread of razor sharp feathers at you, dropping spiky ice balls in the arena and dropping eggs in the arena. Dodge the feathers and ice balls and wait for him to drop eggs. The eggs will hatch and wander back and forth, getting in your way. Bop one on the head, pick it up and chuck it at the owl. If he's at the top of the screen, use the platforms on either side of the screen. Just be quick because they'll collapse under your wait after a couple seconds.
Nail the owl with three eggs and a blast barrel will appear. Hop on in.
Mr. Owl will flap his wings causing gale force winds that could knock you off the platform if you're not careful. Walk against the wind and be on the lookout for enemies floating in from the side of the screen. Spot the egg and bop it on the head. Pick it up and either bounce up the other enemies to gain enough height to hit the owl now, or wait until he comes down to your level to charge at you to nail him.
A bit peeved, the owl will then litter the screen with feathers. Retreat to one of the blast barrels on either side of the screen to avoid them. He'll then drop more eggs. Bop one, pick it up and nail him with it. Three hits and a blast barrel appears. Put the controller down and go make a sandwich. Make sure it's something nutritious. When you're ready, hop in the barrel and proceed to the final phase of the fight.
The great owl will start chucking volleys of feathers at you (still more painful than it sounds) so do your best to dodge. He'll then drop waves of spiky-helmed mini-owls on you. Weave between the gaps in the ranks until mini-owls with eggshell hats appear. Bop one on the head, pick it up and nail the big owl in the face when he floats down to your level.
The big hooter will disappear into the sky and drop giant eggs on you. The eggs will explode into three mini-owls with spiky helmets. Dodge them all and eventually the big bad will fall out of the sky and land on the platform in a dizzy spell. Bop him on the head.
He'll chuck a few ice balls at you and the pattern will repeat. Hit him a total of three times to end the fight.

Wisconsin farm goes beyond just apples
WINONA, Minn. (AP) — During harvest season at Ecker's Apple Farm in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, the day starts at 2 a.m. when the first pies go into the oven.
Sara Ecker is in the orchard five hours later, surveying which apples to pick. The pickers themselves follow shortly after, working into the afternoon while the pies are restocked, the caramel apples are dipped and a steady stream of customers are getting ready to devour both.
When the orchard closes to the public at six o'clock, the Eckers use a little bit of quiet time to pack apples and attend to any details they may have missed during the rush. Sometimes as late as 9 p.m., they finish for the day, mere hours away from starting the process all over again.
And that's just for the apples.
Family-owned since its inception in 1945, Ecker's has looked for ways to push beyond traditional orchard offerings in the past few years, from hosting weddings to running yoga classes to making their own cider. It's not that the apples themselves are drawing any less of a crowd — they typically welcome more than 1,500 people on a fall Saturday — but diversifying the options keeps them coming back.
"It's really just about showing people a good time for a couple hours, a bit of an escape from all the concrete and all the hubbub," Jess Ecker, who manages the operation's 50-person staff and runs special events, told the Winona Daily News.
The hours that people spend in their orchard is relatively new, largely in part to the 2014 arrival of a beer garden. Before that, Jess Ecker said most folks would come in, get their apples and go in a matter of 30 minutes.
The beer garden initially grew out of a possibility of having their own brewery, but Jess Ecker said licensing hiccups drove them in another direction: a hard cider they named "Fat Blossom Girl." The orchard partnered with Maiden Rock Winery and Sand Creek Brewing to make it a reality, and for the first time, customers this year will be able to take home the cider in bottles.
Nearby orchards had already established what they were known for, Jess Ecker said, and the beer garden was the product of a desire to create that for Ecker's.
"Ferguson's (in Galesville) has a great niche with kids' entertainment . that's their thing," she said. "I thought, what else can I do? Something a little bit different."
And while visitors can drop by any weekend for beer, treats from a food truck and live music, it's all building toward the orchard's special event of the season — the Honeycrisp Hootenanny, which this year takes place Oct. 13.
The hootenanny, which features multiple food trucks, local music like Them Coulee Boys and the jazz band from the area high school, a whopping 2,000 caramel apples and a long list of beers to try, is celebrating a decade of existence this year and is perhaps no better indicator of the orchard's growth.
"The first year, Dad was alive," Jess Ecker said. "He said, 'You should get some beer. Go up to George's and see if you can get a keg of beer.' We got a sixth barrel, which is 30 to 35 beers. We didn't finish it."
At last year's hootenanny, they went through more than 60 kegs and 20 barrels of cider.
The day also features a unique beer-tasting called the killer whale series, after the nickname "whale" for a rare beer. Jess Ecker asks 30 local breweries to send her one keg of their craziest drink, and each goes on tap for one hour only — those who aren't lucky enough to try it will have a wealth of other brews to sample.
Underneath the events and expansions, however, is the same drive to provide people with an opportunity they might not get anywhere else.
"I guess my dad really saw the farm as an opportunity to give people who aren't lucky to have an orchard or to live in the country, to give them a farm experience, that they can have a good time on the farm," Jess said.
And though a nearly indescribable amount of work goes into preparing that experience, it's worth it to see folks spending an afternoon together there, enjoying the day.

Savannah Food & Wine Festival Gives Back to the Community
The weeklong Savannah Food & Wine Festival has announced the many nonprofit organizations to which part of the festival profits will be donated. The sought-out festival will return to Georgia for the week of Nov. 11 to 17, bringing top chefs, sommeliers, and culinary experts to the area.
One of the main events at the festival, the Grand Reserve Tasting, hopes to bring in a noticeable amount of profit, of which part will be donated to a local nonprofit organization, The 200 Club of The Coastal Empire. This high-profile event will offer wine bottles averaging more than $50 for those looking for the "ultimate in wine tasting," as well as host a silent auction of items such as one-of-a-kind wine lots, luxury travel, merchandise, and services, while guests can enjoy gourmet appetizers.
"The 200 Club of the Coastal Empire goals and objectives are honorable and clearly in line with Savannah’s needs. The organization provides immediate financial assistance for surviving spouses and children of local law enforcement officers and firefighters who lose their lives in the line-of-duty while protecting their communities. We are very proud to be associated with the amazing work The 200 Club provides to our community," Michael T. Owens, president of the Savannah Food & Wine Festival, stated in a recent press release.
Special VIP guests at the Grand Reserve Tasting will include world-renowned sommeliers, winemakers, chefs, and authors such as Lydia and Rob Mondavi Jr., chef Chris Hastings, the Lee Brothers, chef Anthony Lamas, Master Sommeliers Robert Jones and Michael McNeill, and Iron Horse Vineyards.
According to Hugh Golden, chairman of the Grand Reserve Tasting Committee, the event is the must-attend event for wine enthusiasts. "If you appreciate good wine, the festival has a multitude of events you can attend — if you appreciate great wine, you won’t find a better ticket available in the southeast region to taste extraordinary wine than the Grand Reserve."
With community being the focal point of this year’s Savannah Food & Wine Festival, giving back and supporting local nonprofit organizations is of high priority to the festival organizers. Besides The 200 Club of the Coastal Empire, nonprofits that will benefit from festival include United Way of the Coastal Empire, Bethesda Academy, the West Broad Street YMCA, and Mom’s Lemonade Stand.

UT: Utah Recruits Key Joint Strike Fighter Contractor
20 May, 2010
The Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) announced that Janicki Industries of Sedro-Woolley, WA, will establish a new Utah precision composites manufacturing facility to support the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. Janicki Industries is widely recognized as a leading composite fabrication and CNC machining company with capabilities in the aerospace, transportation, and wind energy markets.
The company was founded as Janicki Machine Design in 1993 by CEO Peter Janicki, and its first innovation was to introduce machined composites to the marine manufacturing industry. Janicki’s proprietary 5-axis CNC mills are specifically designed to handle complex, large-scale high precision projects.
Janicki Industries is heavily involved in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. In 2001 Lockheed Martin was selected as prime contractor for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program (F-35 or JSF). The F-35 is expected to be the world’s premier war fighting aircraft through 2040.
“Our strategic alliance with Lockheed Martin, ATK and Hitco Composites encouraged us to consider locating in Utah,” said John Janicki, President of Janicki Industries. “We gratefully accept GOED’s incentive offer, and we look forward to building long term business relationships within the state of Utah.”
“The State has targeted seven industry clusters, which will bring sustainable job growth to Utah. Janicki Industries experience in aerospace, defense and composites further strengthens these industries in Utah,” said Spencer Eccles, GOED executive director.
Janicki currently employs over 350 people in Washington, State. A decision on a final location for the new facility has not yet been made, but it will add an additional 50 people to the Janicki payroll over the next several years. The average project base salary will be in excess of 125% of Davis County average including company contributed health benefits and will generate $20.5 million in new state wages over 10 years. The new employees will be brought on to help Janicki fulfill its contractual obligations to ATK and Hitco Carbon Composites.
“We are thrilled about Janicki Industries’ decision to expand its operations to Utah,” says Jeff Edwards, president & CEO of Economic Development Corporation of Utah. “Janicki Industries presence further expands Utah’s strength in the advanced composites industry and will be a key component to further growth in this field here in our State.”

Kofi Kingston is not the usual size of a WWE Champion, but he defeated Daniel Bryan for the title. It seems like WWE is straying away from their former logic of only pushing big men. One big man from WWE’s past is Hall Of Famer Superstar Billy Graham. Needless to say, he had some advice for Kofi.
Graham let loose on Facebook in a pretty heated message where he had some words of wisdom. However, it might not be exactly what Kofi needs to hear and WWE might have a problem with his suggestion as well.
“Kofi Kingston…. My Advice
I am sure Vince will sit Kofi down and say, ” Now Kofi, you listen to every word the Superstar has to say about your run as the first African born WWE World Heavyweight Champion.” Congratulations to Kofi for winning the most important Title in pro wrestling history….sorry you NWA guys…. Notice the word ” Heavyweight ” in his Title…so my man, I urge you to start doing some steroids and add about 50 pounds of solid muscle to your championship body. Vince wont care, honestly. Actually he would be quite pleased with the muscular transformation, as I predict that you young man will have the longest run as WWE champ in modern-day history. Then in just a short time while you are red hot and the fans are celebrating your win, your 2 former partners in crime, E and Woods get jealous and turn on you. In my day there would be some blood in that double cross on you but God forbid….not now. You then have Daniel Bryan for rematches and your two former partners as opponents. The final suggestion, is to get all of my promo material together that you can find in the WWE’s vast library and study my promos. You must be an entertainer as well as a wrestler my man and best of luck with your run !!! S.B.G.”
You never know how someone can look at a great situation like KofiMania and see room for improvement. It appears Billy Graham has his own idea of what he thinks Kofi Kingston should do. There has since been no sign that Kofi is up for juicing though.

High-speed laser drilling of silicon wafers for photovoltaics
Aachen, Germany – High-speed laser drilling is an important processing step in the production of high-efficiency solar cells, especially in the case of emitter-wrap-through (EWT) solar cells that require 10,000 and more vias to be drilled in each cell.
Aachen, Germany – High-speed laser drilling is an important processing step in the production of high-efficiency solar cells, especially in the case of emitter-wrap-through (EWT) solar cells that require 10,000 and more vias to be drilled in each cell. Given that the typical duration of a single process step on a production line for solar cells is on the order of one or two seconds, a drilling rate of 10,000 vias per second is the minimum requirement for industrial-scale production.
The maximum drilling rate currently achievable with commercially available laser sources and galvanometer scanners is 4,000 vias per second. New optical concepts such as the combined use of high-performance galvanometer scanners and optical beam dividers offer a potential means of attaining the required drilling rate. This calls for laser sources with an average power output of several hundred watts and a pulse duration in the microsecond range. A number of different system solutions were set up and compared in order to assess their suitability.
Parameter studies indicate that pulse duration and pulse energy are critical factors for the efficiency of the drilling process. On the basis of experimental results, a numerical simulation of the ablation process was used to evaluate a number of different laser sources and optical concepts. By applying two coupled Jenoptik Jenlas IR 70 lasers, it was possible to achieve 9,600 holes/s in wafers with 200 micron thickness and 12,500 holes/s in 180 micron wafers.
The high-speed drilling process developed in this project by Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT relates specifically to a processing step in the manufacture of EWT solar cells in which the back contacts are connected to the emitter layer through electrical feedthrough structures in the silicon. This increases the active surface area of the solar cell and hence its efficiency. The ability to drill holes of a similarly small diameter has other potential applications beyond that of photovoltaic cells, for instance in filter technology.

In her syndicated column today, Ann Coulter lashed out at Hillary Clinton for featuring the Mothers of the Movement, a group of African-American mothers who have lost children to gun violence and police abuses, at the Democratic National Convention.
Titling her column “When Do The Mothers Of ISIS Speak?,” Coulter criticized the DNC for “celebrating the anti-police group Black Lives Matter” and including Lezley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, whose only “claim to fame,” according to Coulter, is “raising a hoodlum” and “giving birth to, and then carefully nurturing, a violent, cop-assaulting criminal.”
Whatever questionable choices were made at the Republican National Convention last week, I didn’t hear of a single speaker whose sole accomplishment was raising a delinquent who attacked a cop.
But as the country reels from the cold-blooded murder of five policemen in Dallas and three in Baton Rouge, Lezley McSpadden, mother of Mike Brown, America’s most famous cop-assaulting criminal, appeared on stage at the Democratic National Convention.
Welcome to Hillary’s convention, celebrating the anti-police group Black Lives Matter!
If Brown’s mother had done something noteworthy, apart from raising a hoodlum – perhaps pioneering a cardiac stent that will save people’s lives – then one could understand her being a “headliner” at the Democrat’s convention. But, as I understand it, her sole claim to fame is giving birth to, and then carefully nurturing, a violent, cop-assaulting criminal.
Donald Trump, along with every other Republican ever to run for president, is required to repeatedly “disavow” David Duke – someone he’s never met, never mentioned, never thought of – and certainly didn’t invite to speak at his convention.
But Hillary invites to her convention the mother of a man whose criminality destroyed a police officer’s life, tore the country apart and gave birth to a murderous cop-hating movement. Will a single reporter ask Hillary to disavow that?

Tipping is common practice in South Africa for a range of services. In restaurants the accepted standard is around 10% of the bill, although sometimes a gratuity will be included (often in the case of a large party). It is also appropriate to tip taxi drivers, tour guides and even hairdressers. If you park a car in a populated area such as near a shopping centre, street security guards will usually ask whether they can watch over your car and in return should be paid a small fee – anything from two rands upwards.
Value-added-tax (VAT) is charged on most items. Foreign visitors to South Africa can have their 14% VAT refunded (value of purchases exceed R250.00). VAT is refunded at the point of departure provided receipts are produced.
There are 11 officially recognised languages, most of which are indigenous to South Africa. English is spoken everywhere you go. English is the language of the cities, of commerce and banking, of government and official documents. All our road signs and official forms are in English and service staff will speak English.
Summer – mid-October to mid-February

The Private Use of Credit Ratings: Evidence from Investment Mandates
Ever since the global financial crisis in 2008, credit ratings have been subject to increased scrutiny. The main concern with ratings is related to the role overly optimistic ratings played in facilitating the sale of structured securities such as mortgage-backed securities (see, e.g., Benmelech and Dlugosz 2009). As a result, there have been considerable efforts to remove references to ratings in regulation and rules, including in the calculation of capital requirements for banks, brokers and insurance companies. These efforts have been broad in ambition although often hampered by a lack of alternatives.
This focus on regulation is natural, since a large number of rules include references to ratings (for example, investment grade securities, rated BBB or above, are eligible for favorable treatment under many US federal rules). This has been well analyzed (e.g. Opp, Opp and Harris 2013). However, the original (and still most widespread) use of ratings is not regulatory, but private. Investors and asset managers use credit ratings to classify the risk of fixed income assets. Little has been known about how private investors have changed their use of ratings since the financial crisis.
In our new ECGI working paper, we examine the private use of credit ratings in investment mandates of U.S. fixed income funds (which manage more than $7 trillion). In these investment mandates, asset managers demarcate the set of investable assets, often with the help of credit ratings. Ratings thus constitute a key technology for delegated asset management. The asset manager Blackrock describes the function of credit ratings in investment mandates as follows: “References to ratings in investment guidelines play an important role in ensuring that end investors’ expectations with respect to how their assets should be managed are clearly communicated”. At any given time, there exist hundreds of thousands of fixed income assets (many more than the number of equity securities available in public markets), and ratings-based mandates allow managers to communicate (and commit to) risk levels vis-a-vis asset owners such as retail investors, endowments, pension plans, and financial institutions.
Our methodology consists of collecting electronic filings for US fixed income mutual funds and using text analysis to quantify the reliance on ratings. We examine both direct references, through terms such as "BBB", and indirect references, through terms such as "investment grade" or "high yield". Using a sample of mandates from 2010-2017, we document widespread references to credit ratings. For example, the majority of mandates either refer to a specific credit rating agency, a specific alphanumeric rating, or both. On average, 88% of mandates refer to “high yield”, “investment grade”, or other indirect terms. Perhaps surprisingly, we also find that the use of ratings has increased over time. For example, indirect references have increased from 84% to 90% over the 2010-2017 period. This increase is statistically significant and it is also present within a fixed set of funds. In fact, the increase reflects both (i) that funds without references are more likely to close, (ii) that new funds are more likely to refer to ratings, and (iii) that existing funds much more often switch toward using ratings than away from it.
Most fixed income asset classes were not directly implicated in the mistakes that fueled the crisis. For example, think of corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and, indeed, some kinds of structured assets: credit ratings appear to have reflected the underlying credit risk of these asset classes reasonably well, both before and after the crisis (e.g., Cornaggia, Cornaggia, and Hund 2017). Regulatory reforms have not distinguished much between these types of assets, but perhaps private contracting works differently and distinguishes between potentially problematic and useful ratings? We find small differences across asset types (although structured assets are less important in mutual funds, so we can say less for this area).
We examine a more limited sample of investment mandates going back to 1999. While we cannot reject a non-increase in ratings use before the financial crisis, we can do so in the period since the crisis. In other words, the increase in (the private) use of ratings has gone from high to almost universal after the financial crisis!
In our paper, we discuss the implications of this finding. Most importantly, we suggest that the success of ratings in private contracting should give reformers pause: perhaps adequate substitutes are not easy to find. Furthermore, in broad terms, a comprehensive view of credit ratings should acknowledge that, while flawed, and in a few instances dysfunctional, ratings remain a successful system for organizing fixed income markets. On the other hand, any disadvantages related to the use of ratings are important, given how widely used they are.

Now that we have entered September I guess we can say that it´s Autumn for real. Even though we have had some warm and lovely days lately, I have made our living room ready for Autumn.
By adding gold and orange-brown tones I have created a warmer look instead of having it all black and white as it used to.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to show you the process from start to a finished result on how I have decorated our living room. Hopefully they can give you some ideas….
Are your home ready for Autumn yet?

India’s Parliament has approved the country’s budget for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2013 (Budget) by passing the Finance Bill, 2013 (Finance Bill) on May 2, 2013 with several amendments to the earlier version of this bill presented to the Parliament on February 28, 2013 (see our earlier alert on the Budget proposals of February 28, 2013). While some of these amendments are favorable to foreign investors and lenders, the scope of certain other amendments is unclear.
Key amendments to the February 28, 2013 version of the Finance Bill approved by the Parliament include the following:
- Indian tax laws will no longer prescribe the particulars to be contained in a tax residency certificate (TRC) to be issued by the country of residence of a non-resident assessee (in order for such assessee to obtain tax treaty benefits in India). The amendments also delete the language in the prior version of the Finance Bill which stated that a TRC would be necessary but not sufficient for a non-resident assessee to claim tax treaty benefits. However, the assessee may be required to provide “such other documents or information as may be prescribed” in order to obtain such tax treaty benefits. No such documents or information has been prescribed to date.
- Interest earned by foreign entities registered as foreign institutional investors (including their sub-accounts) (FIIs) or qualified foreign investors (QFIs) on or after June 1, 2013 but before June 1, 2015 on Indian Rupee denominated bonds of an Indian company or Indian Government securities will be subject to a reduced withholding tax rate of 5% (plus surcharge and cess). The previously applicable rate was 20% (plus surcharge and cess).
- Interest earned by foreign lenders on or after June 1, 2013 but before June 1, 2015 from long term foreign currency infrastructure bonds issued by Indian issuers will be subject to a reduced withholding tax rate of 5% (plus surcharge and cess) even if such lenders do not have a permanent account number (PAN) issued by the Indian tax authorities. The previously applicable rate in the absence of a PAN was 20% (plus surcharge and cess).
Implications of the Amendments to the Finance Bill
Certain amendments to the version of the Finance Bill tabled before Parliament on February 28, 2013 are positive and appear to reflect a desire by the Government of India to facilitate FII and QFI investments in Indian corporate and Government debt and promote offshore borrowing through long term infrastructure bonds. However, it is unclear what documents and information in addition to a TRC will be required for foreign investors to avail of tax treaty benefits in India.
As always, Indian transactions require careful tax structuring and parties should consult their advisors to fully understand these changes and their possible applications to particular situations.

I likely won't ever get an opportunaty like this again! ...The chance to take an unlimited number of pictures of a wild bird - at less than arm's length!
During one of my trips into the garage, I heard a 'thumping' overhead. An oriole had become trapped in the rafters and was now trying to get out of the garage through what appeared to be the only exit on her level - a window. ...A CLOSED window. The little thing kept trying and trying, only to thump her noggin so hard she had become dazed. She was so dazed in fact, she willingly stepped onto a broom that I'd reached up near her feet. I let hert loose on the grass, where she just sat there, staring at me. Realizing this was likely going to last for a few minutes, I ran for the camera!
This was GREAT! An oriole - not able to move an inch and as a result of disorientation, was now willing to be my subject for quite a time. Eventually, it flew into a not yet blossomed snowball bush and rested about a foot off the ground and then safely took off another few minutes later.
Both my wife and mother love orioles, so it looks like I'll be doing some printing soon.

SERIES: TRANSITION WEEKS
Speaker: Scott Boyer
Title: Are You Stuck or Are You Growing?
Date: February 17, 2019
Synopsis: Scott shares a compelling message to encourage us in our spiritual growth. He relates the story of The Road to Emmaus from Luke 24:13-35 to us as Jesus is met as a stranger but encourages the disciples not to stay in their disbelief and sorrow but to remember that Jesus is with them during the process. The journey isn’t always easy but it changes us in incredible ways.
Speaker: Pastor Nick Ressler
Title: Counting the Cost
Date: February 24, 2019
Synopsis: To often we feel like the wool has been pulled over our eyes in our spiritual walk. We ask questions like: Why is this so hard? For some reason we have a belief that if we do the right things then God will do the right things by us. But, in reality, when we look at scripture we see that God actually says the road ahead is difficult. Jesus further challenges us by telling us to count the cost prior to starting the journey.
Speaker: Bishop Bryan Hoke
Title: Installation of Pastor Nick
Date: March 3, 2019
Synopsis: Bishop Bryan leads a time of thanksgiving to the leadership at Conoy for the many hours put in during the pastoral selection.

The average American family does 8–10 loads of laundry each week and every article of clothing comes with a specific set of washing instructions—Line dry. Wash in cold water with like colors. Do not iron. These special care needs can make a cramped laundry room seem even smaller. Never fear, More Space Place is here to bring you the custom, organized laundry room of your dreams.
The main laundry room woe is space. How do we make room for all of our laundry necessities? Between the stain removers, detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets, the small counters in a laundry room can be overtaken. Adding custom wall cabinets, especially ones with open door facings, to your laundry room allows you to quickly grab the products you need and return them when you’re finished.
The floor is commonly a wasted space in most laundry rooms. Think about it. Are you still sorting your laundry into piles on the floor? Pull-out baskets and hampers make organizing laundry a breeze and keep you from tripping over piles. Big bulky ironing boards can also be a tripping hazard. Pull down ironing boards are a great way to keep this tool hidden when you’re not using it.
Another problem we encounter frequently in the laundry room is where to hang clothing that needs to hang to dry. At More Space Place, we utilize vertical space by adding specially designed rods and dividers that adjust to fit your needs can give you back that space. Now you can walk through your doorway without running headfirst into wet clothes.
Anyone who has ever washed clothes can relate to these laundry room woes. We want you to stop dreading laundry day and start enjoying the time you spend in there! More Space Place is proud to offer the best custom laundry room solutions around. Call, click, or come into a showroom today and let our expert designers show you all of our outstanding organizational options.

She is the eldest of four children. From a young age, she and her siblings were constantly uprooted from their home and were often homeless.
Elsa's family was recently displaced yet again by the recent Mayon Volcano eruption and found themselves living in emergency shelters. Elsa realizes now more than ever that she is one of the lucky ones. She is safe in Girlstown in Biga, the Philippines, and will be able to help support her family once she graduates.
Natural disasters disproportionately affect the poor, who are often unable to relocate or rebuild. The hardships that families face after a natural disaster make it even more difficult to escape poverty. Although Mayon Volcano is not located near any of our schools, many of our students' families were affected by the recent eruption and are facing uncertainty.

B2B Marketing Experts have an ideal opportunity during the Holiday Season to do some old fashioned "feel good" marketing and help some folks along the way. Green Leads ran two internal contests that resulted in charitable giving.
Toy drive. We ran a contest last week during a one hour ConnectAndSell session. For each appointment booked during the session, Green Leads bought a toy for our local toy drive run by some friends at the Lawrence Police Department.
Kiva Microloans. A second contest we ran allowed our top performer to pick a recipient of a Kiva Microloan to join the Green Leads portfolio. We've been lending on Kiva for quite some time and allow our team to select the recipients on an ongoing basis. This now makes 15 loans.
It's all about:
- Branding (internally and externally
- Doing what's right
- Having some fun

Scotiabank are one of Canada’s ‘Big Five’ banks. They wanted to lead the Canadian market in transforming financial services, beginning by becoming the first bank in Canada with a fully digitised home ownership experience.
Drastically cut the time it takes to apply for a mortgage. Put customers at the heart of the process, empowering them and building the foundations for a long-term relationship. BIO worked in a strategic partnership with Tech Mahindra to achieve this goal, creating eHOME, a unique digital mortgage experience.
Case Study Video
Shaking up the mortgage market in Canada_
We studied the Canadian mortgages market to find insights that provided the foundation for a fully digitised mortgages application. Having a user-centred design process ensures that experiences are designed around the customer whilst delivering tangible outputs quickly, with users brought in at key points to help co-create and validate the solution. We also used behavioural science nudges to help users take action and complete the journey.
The experience itself was created by BIO in agile sprints, handing off a series of tightly defined wireframes, module specs, unique page designs and an atomic toolkit to a squad of TechM developers to build the app.
Our work with Scotiabank to research, design, build and roll out the eHOME mortgage application has created an industry first and critically acclaimed solution, significantly contributing to the company’s vision to digitise the Canadian home ownership experience. eHOME has radically cut the time it takes to apply for a mortgage, shaken up the mortgage market in Canada and is still winning applause for its customer-friendly interface and transparent rates. The next exciting phase is now in development.

In recent years, sculpture studies within art and architectural history have grown exponentially, increasingly taking diverse themes into account including materiality, gender, postcolonialism and affect. In the rapid transformations of state power and imperial activity in the 18th century, through into the post-revolutionary political atmosphere of the 19th century, nations appeared to sponsor the celebration of the public citizen and actively projected imperial stability in the midst of change and resistance. Despite its association with permanence, sculpture was charged with representing change: materialising new identities and formulating representational traditions. Architectural sculpture in particular marked sites of urban modernity, such as stations, cultural institutions, civic landmarks and sacred structures; these large and prestigious commissions often sparked public debate around identity and artistic production. As the onset and outcomes of the First World War shaped the power and politics of cultural memory, sculpture took centre stage, with new responsibilities amongst global tensions. Interwar architectural sculpture negotiated and articulated increasing anxieties regarding ornament, historicism, modernism and minimalism. With the arrival of modernism worldwide, some believed architectural sculpture was anathema. Others looked to it as the vehicle to facilitate and embody vitality in bold new architectural experimentation. Architectural sculpture was a crucible for artistic and wider cultural dialogue concerning modern life and modern subjects. The convenors invite proposals for papers that explore architectural sculpture and identity in a global context between 1750 and the present.
Potential themes include:
- collaboration and networks between architects and sculptors
- production and reproduction
- modernism and tradition
- beauty and ugliness
- figuration and abstraction
- style and historicism
- form, function and ornament
- spectacle and the everyday
- memory and ritual
- nationhood and transnationalism
- and empire and its afterlives.
Paper proposals, to be sent to the session convenor in accordance with proposal guidelines

Yesterday I wrote about Deals To Drink. It turns out they are not alone in supporting the quest for cheap booze.
Boozle is online only, but has an absolutely lovely interface and a range of supporting services including a couple which address the concerns I had about Deals To Drink. You can restrict your search to your local area and you can have alerts sent to you. Those two features alone make this my preferred option. Boozle says
Our goals are simple, to ensure alcohol consumers always get the best price available, and to ensure retailers are rewarded for providing the lowest prices.
Assuming that the prices given are the lowest, Boozle is pretty enough that you’d want to use it on a computer just for the overall experience.
Strangely the mobile experience is not as well-executed. There seem to be too many steps in doing a search and it doesn’t go back a step easily. It works but it’s not as simple as Deals to Drink. Also when you use the mobile version is doesn’t seem to just display the local stores – which given that there’s every chance your device has GPS is a real omission.
Anyway, that makes two viable alternatives in the search for cheap booze.
And I know this is silly, but I do love the way the Boozle dog moves when you mouse-over it. It’s just an attention to detail thing. And it makes me smile even without having had a cheap beer.

Roxio, the company which bought the remnants of song-swapping service Napster, is to relaunch the service in the US today.
Napster's resurrection comes more than two years after the service was knocked offline amid accusations of copyright infringement from the major record labels.
Mark Mulligan, senior analyst with Jupiter Research, said Napster's "hip" image will be an advantage in the market.
Napster 2.0 will be a paid service with deals from all five major labels and a handful of independents firmly in place. It will, initially, offer access to more than 500,000 tracks through individual download, monthly subscription and internet radio.
Because of the limits of the record licensing deals, Napster 2.0 will focus on music streaming and burning will come at a premium, Mulligan said.
"It will be a welcome addition to the market, but will be nowhere near what Napster used to be," he added.
For a nearly unlimited music selection, users will still be tempted to go to free music-trading programs such as Kazaa. Mulligan said Kazaa is a bigger brand name than Napster but it has been hurt by the amount of spyware lurking on its service.
Roxio has been preparing for the relaunch of Napster since it said it was scooping up Napster's intellectual property and technology patents for around $5m late last year.
The company bought online music subscription service Pressplay for $39.5m in May, saying that it would use the service's technology as the platform to relaunch Napster as a legitimate service.
Roxio, which sells digital media software, is banking on Napster's brand name and image to make a splash in the online music service market.
Although Roxio's position as a CD-burning software provider may give consumers the hope of more portability and download capabilities, Mulligan said that, again, it will be limited by the licensing deals.
Mulligan predicted that it may be some time before Napster 2.0 makes its debut in Europe.

Telecom Italia to buy AES Atimus for €700m
Telecom Italia said its Brazilian mobile unit, TIM Participaoes, has agreed to buy telecom infrastructure operator AES Atimus Group for €700 million.
The Italian company, Italy's biggest telecom operator and number five in Europe, said the acquisition would help it boost its presence in Brazil's fast-growing market.
Specifically, it will allow TIM Brazil to augment its mobile network with fiber-optic connections.
AES Atimus, a unit of US power company AES Corp, owns a 5,500 km fiber optic network that covers 21 towns in the densely populated areas of San Paolo and Rio de Janeiro.
Telecom Italia forecasts that the deal will deliver synergies of 1 billion reais (€452 million) to of opex and capex over three years.
The merger is not expected to impact a deleveraging plan Telecom Italia announced last February.
The deal is expected to close by Q4 2011.

In a recent column published by Forbes.com, Tim Worstall, author of “23 Things We Are Telling You About Capitalism,” explains how India’s sugar subsidy programs are distorting the global market. The big underlying problem is government price-fixing…
“Each year the federal government and states fix the price at which (sugar) mills can buy (sugar) cane from farmers,” an Indian news report explains. “The cane price has climbed 65 percent in five years, while sugar prices have fallen 8 percent.”
Well, with sugar prices artificially higher than the free market will bear, farmers have, of course, grown a lot more sugar than the market needs. So sugar mills now face an over-supply vs. under-demand problem and are, in turn, demanding government action to fix this government-created problem.
Since they have a glut of sugar on their hands far in excess of what Indians will consume, mills want to unload the excess on the global market. But since they’ve already paid too much for the sugar to local farmers, the price they have to charge to be competitive in the international export market – where other governments are also generously subsidizing their own sugar industries – is also too high. So they’re looking for government subsidies so they can lower their export price.
This sort of government manipulation of pricing through subsidization does not a free market make. And India has painted itself into a corner from which it’s not likely to emerge on its own anytime soon. As Alexis de Tocqueville (possibly misattributed) observed…
“A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy.”
And as Worstall points out, Indian “Cane farmers have many more votes than sugar mill owners. So, the inventible result of such government or politician price fixing is that prices for cane will be set high to garner the votes of cane farmers.”
As the world’s #2 sugar producer, the cause and effect of India’s market manipulating subsidy policies is for the United States to, unfortunately but necessarily, limit imports of government subsidized sugar at an artificially cheap price in order to protect our own domestic sugar farmers.
This is not how a true free market operates. But it is the market we’re operating in. The solution isn’t universal disarmament by eliminating the U.S. sugar program. It’s eliminating India’s.

I’ve steered clear of buying a projector for years. I’ve told friends to invest in high-end LED TVs and forget about turning their living room into a local branch of the Odeon. The new Viewsonic Pro9000 changed my mind.
It’s the world’s first hybrid laser LED projector. In a nutshell, this means no expensive projector lamp to replace – ever. Traditional DLP (Digital Light Processing) or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) projectors use exceptionally bright lamps which slowly reduce in their brightness. After 2,000-4,000 hours of use, a new lamp will set you back £300-£500. The Pro9000 uses a combination of LEDs and lasers to get round this problem, with an estimated lifespan of 20,000 hours. Even if you watch a movie a day, that’s 20 years of usage. The Viewsonic also includes the new Texas Instruments DarkChip3 technology for a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness plus full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) support.
If you are slightly baffled by these stats, in essence they mean that black should look black and images should appear bright and vibrant. I set up the Pro9000 in my second bedroom, propped up by a couple of books, projecting against a blank white wall. I was stunned by the results. The image was more than 100in wide. I popped in a Bluray of Rust and Bone, admittedly not a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, but the colour reproduction was stunning. I had to squint my eyes as the image was so bright. It was a truly immersive experience.
The Pro9000 is not cheap up front, but it’s considerably better value after you consider its “lampless” design. This also makes it ideal for “constant-on” corporate and educational purposes. Personally, I love its simplicity – instant on, no warming up, no bulbs to replace and a guaranteed cinematic experience.

SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT
As an Ambassador, your support through social media is greatly appreciated. Here are a few tips and tricks on how to boost social engagement, by Arielle Shipe.
Don’t expect people to engage with you if you aren’t willing to do the same. Get to know your followers. Comment back. Go out into the Insta community that you want to be a part of and start supporting your fellow ‘grammers. Be authentic! I ignored this step for a long time but as soon as I started getting more involved I realized all the humans who have been interacting on my page are incredible. I’ve made numerous friends and have opened myself up to lots of exciting opportunities.
- Commenting on at least 5-10 photos directly before or after you post seems to dramatically increase how much your new post is seen by others.
- Comments must be more than 4 words to really affect algorithm. It's best to write thoughtful comments that encourage a response. *BONUS* Include emojis and tag someone in the comment if possible!
- Respond to the comments on your new post as quickly as possible for the first 30-45mins. Again- this just helps supercharge your first hour which boosts the post for a few days after posting.

Unplanned Outage: Due to a technical glitch, customers might see higher wait times on Sophos Call Lines. We request for your kind cooperation. Please prefer logging a case via Sophos Support Portal, unless the situation is critical for you.
I am working in a company with normal User Credentials, and recently Sophos AV didn't get Updates anymore, so I had to let it re-install anew by a tech Admin via Remote.
Right after that, the situation in the title appeared. Process Explorer, which I use now for several years (more than ten), can't be used anymore.
Process Explorer by Mark Russinovich can be downloaded from Microsoft Docs, I cannot understand why it is suddenly a controlled application.
Now, since I am not given any user rights to authorize this program (alledgedly the tech department doesn't know how....) I would like to suggest to remove this software from the list of controlled applications.
Thanks in advance
Hi Rudolf Zorn
In the "Application control" policy, applications are authorized by default. System administrators select the applications they want to block. Please check this article to block/unblock the listed application.
Hi Shweta, thanks for the answer. So the Admin did not say the truth to me when he said that he didn't block Process Explorer intenional, when I said to him it wasn't blocked before the re-install ? Did he have to activate blocking of this program manually ? -Sadly I couldn't see what he did b/c it was remotely done and I was locked out during the process.
I suspect what has happened is in the Application Control policy:
The person who configured the Application Control policy applied to your device or user checked the "NEW APPLICATIONS ADDED TO THIS CATEGORY BY SOPHOS" option. So as soon as Sophos added this it was blocked.
Thank you jak ! Of course, as a user, I do not know this configuraton tool. It is most likely what is mentioned in the article that Shweta linked above.
Why Sophos added this application in 2020 eludes me. It is a proven tool and has, amongst other things, a lower cpu footprint than the regular taskmanager.
I could use it up to now only without admin rights anyway.
Interesting detail: The admin I spoke to didn't even know Process Explorer.
Another interesting detail: As long as the blocked application is existing, Sophos notifies about blocking it. Mostly, when I open a filesector box in another application. Since Process Explorer isn't an application that is hooked into file operations, as it always has to be executed manually, this behavior is weird.
Hello Rudolf Zorn,
Application Control is a by-product of On-Access/Real-Time scanning. It does not monitor process creation (i.e. execution) but file access regardless of the intent. As (Windows) Explorer opens the files when it displays a folder's contents controlled applications in this folder are detected.
Hello QC, this is for sure the right explanation. But ist's weird anyway, since none of the specific folders where the controlled app resides, are opened. But there maybe some access behavior or memory of them in a cache, and therefore I will delete those folders and restart explorer afterwards to end the annoyance. If that doesn't help, I will do a reboot (which I do not do often, b/c I only hibernate the machine most of the time and continue working after wakeup).

Only half the paint in my room is completely unacceptable. Took off for the Park with Corvis to clear our heads. I am off now for some good Home Despot action. I should probably eat something today; painting is surprisingly labor intensive. If I keep this up, I am sure you, dear Reader, will experience a tale unfold of Dan slowly becoming mentally disfunctional and insane. I felt better -- giddy -- in the open air. Then I walked through the grocery store, shopping in a disconnected state, with a bill 2x my typical large purchases. I'm probably not fully OK to drive. And now there is snow on the ground! Fun fun fun fun fun.

Update: This article is the last in a series on voter suppression activity in 2012. The other articles in the series include; "Hurricane Sandy: Add Storm to a Growing List of Voter Suppression Efforts in Pennsylvania", "How Voter Suppression Endangers our Democratic Process"," "Voter Suppression Laws Overturned in Battleground States: a Win for the American People, and Obama," "Presidential Polls: Obama Poised to Win, But This is How Republicans Will Snatch the Election" and “Florida Early Voting Results: Republican Voter Suppression Efforts Fail to Curtail Turnout.”
Barack Obama was re-elected to the office as the 44th and 45th president of the United States. He ushered in a victory for liberal politics which included legalization of same sex marriage, recreational marijuana use and women in politics. Every liberal platform was validated by the election. Extreme Tea Party candidate Joe Walsh was replaced by war hero and physically challenged veteran Tammy Duckworth in Illinois. Tea Party wing nut Allan West was turned out in Florida. Tammy Baldwin, the openly gay new Senator from Wisconsin won in the state that was perceived to be the new Ohio and central to the Republican Midwestern strategy. Bi-sexual Kyrsten Sinema won in Arizona and became the first openly bi-sexual member of Congress. New Hampshire has an all-woman delegation, the first in history. Angus King took the Republican seat in Maine. Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, the embodiment of the GOP’s position on abortion both lost badly in their respective Senate races in ultra-red Missouri and Indiana. Democrat Heidi Heitkamp won her Senate seat in the red state of North Dakota.
Republican demographics skewed heavily white and male, and it was reflected in their Congressional delegation. The Republicans now have one African-American in all of Congress. That’s down from two. The so-called Republican wave of 2010 was the first time in decades that women representation in Congress regressed. With the Democrats in 2012, there are now more women in the Senate than ever before. California residents actually voted to raise taxes. And voters’ rights advocates fought hard against the voter suppression efforts of Republicans in Florida and Ohio and won those states for Obama.
Republican Governor Rick Scott had used virtually every method possible to reduce voter turnout in Florida. He tried to change voter registration laws only to have that effort overturned by the courts. He reduced early voting hours from 14 to 8 days before the election. His voting machines failed, his infrastructure ran out of supplies and polling sites were closed when they ran out of supplies and personnel to support the turnout. He refused to keep the polling sites open and he was forced to allow for absentee ballots to be accepted on Sunday before the election. He was even sued on the weekend before the election for failure to perform his duty to the citizens who elected him to office. But even with all of the efforts to control the vote, voters turned out and waited in lines for hours to cast their ballots. And the voters were heard as Florida has now officially been called for Obama. As Comedy Central's Jon Stewart said one of the best things to happen this election is that Obama won and Florida didn’t matter. So that is the legacy of Rick Scott’s voter suppression effort. Not only did he not win the state for the Republicans but he took what was considered the preeminent and perennial swing state of Florida and made its 29 electoral votes irrelevant in 2012.
Ohio Republican Secretary of State John Husted had a worse outcome than Scott. Ohio had made every effort to reduce voter turnout. They had plastered minority neighborhoods throughout the state with signs with ominous warnings of voter fraud penalties. Those signs were taken down when the anonymous backer refused to comply with the company policy to be a named sponsor. Husted had sought to have early voting hours canceled throughout the state. He lost that battle in court, he lost several appeals, including an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. He tried to fire Democratic officials who refused to support his attempts to suppress voter turnout. He was admonished by the court for openly defying its orders and when he couldn’t get his way he slashed early voting hours by 33% in the most populous areas of the state which happened to be Democratic strongholds. But his effort were not rewarded either. Voters battled the freezing elements and waited on lines for hours to cast their vote, particularly in the areas that Husted targeted with his efforts. Those regions including Cuyahoga County were the precincts that secured the Ohio victory for Obama. Husted’s failure was so profound, that it resulted in a meltdown on national TV when Republican kingmaker, Karl Rove refused to allow Fox News to call the state for Obama. Husted will face the music and the wrath of those voters he wished to disenfranchise when he comes up for reelection in 2014.
Republican voter suppression efforts failed badly. Chris Tackett of Treehugger.com said “The reason Republicans are making it harder to vote is because they know they are losing the demographics and their ideas aren't winnable anymore.” Lauren Victoria Blake pointed out on Politics365.com that “ten attempts at voter suppression by the states across the country were blocked one after the other in the courts this year.”
The Republican Party had counted on these efforts to reduce Democratic voter turnout specifically in Ohio and Florida. Their attempt to damage the coalition that swept Obama into office in 2008 backfired, instead the coalition held firm. Obama won 93% of the African-American vote, 71% of the Hispanic American vote and 73% of the Asian-American vote. Obama even won the Cuban-American vote in Florida which was thought to be a Republican stronghold. Rick Ungar, a contributor to Forbes magazine explained that “despite efforts in 33 GOP controlled states to restrict the vote, exit polls reveal that the minority share of the 2012 electorate increased from 26% in 2008 to 28% in 2012. Voting among the African-American community remained steady at 13% of the total electorate.”
Rachel Maddow of MSNBC provided this observation, “this is not rocket science here, right. The more opportunities people have to vote and the easier it is to vote, the more people vote. The more people vote, both parties agree, the better it is for Democrats.”

I have recently invested in the Persons Studio 192. When I bypass the mixer in "universal Control" the interface produces a high piched "Hsss" noise. The noise is produced when there is a signal through the studio 192 - like tapping on a microphone, or playing back from the DAW. Sounds like a highend filter opens an closes with a high sustained noise during after the signal stops.
I have not been able to record any session with my new gear, but I' have tried to record some track on my DAW ( Protools 12 ), and played the session back through other interfaces, and can conclude that the noise is produced on the input chanels as well as "hearable" on the output chanels, and the noise ends up on the recordings.
I have done the same procedure using Propellarheads Reason as DAW - the result is the same - noise from the input
I have tested all inputchanels ( Mic-(powered and not powered) - line, optical, and so on) - Same results
The noise seemed to disappear when I turn up the inputgain to maximum on the Studio 192, but this results in a too loud signal input to the daw. (and secondly.... this can not be the solution to the problem - I would very much like to have access to leveling my input gain freely)
I have setup the Studio 192 with 4 different computers (pc and Mac), with the sam result. - and I have tested other interfaces such as Focusrite Scarlet 18i18 and M-audio Fasttrack ultra - on the same computers, and they work perfectly.
I have moved around all thinkable settings in my DAW, audio setup, Universal Control, without being able to solve the problem.
This is very frustrating, and is not what I would expect of a brand new product - so is there anybody out there....? who might have the solution to this...

Today I had a 10:30 appointment with a phycologist for clearance to proceed with the treatment. I started out by telling her that my story may be a new one for her. She later told me that when I said that she thought… No way… Well, way!
I’m pretty sure most of is that have lost loved ones in tragedies such as 9/11 are capable of handling the unknown in ways that others don’t understand . For me, I try to stay prepared for the parts of a situation that are known. Sometimes that causes me to try and control the uncontrollable. Thankfully when that happens, I have a plethora of loved ones to pull me back. Apparently, that is very healthy… Who knew. I told her of my fiancé and father in laws loss on 9/11, I told her of my mothers battle and conquering of esophageal cancer, my best friend destroying the leukemia that tried to take her (you go Jen), my adoption of Rosie and my diagnosis of MS. I told her of each medication that failed and how I sought out a way to end the life altering side effects. I told her of the family and friends that support and help me everyday. She sat there as most do with her mouth open as I spoke. She said your story is both tragic and uplifting. I said my story is just one filled with blessings. At the end she told me to write a book. I think that means I am cleared. She was an lovely woman and I am very glad I had the chance to meet with her.
More to come later as I meet with Dr Burt for the final clearance at 3:00. Please pray all goes well. I have come so close to turn back now.

The quilt top proceeded very smoothly. A little rearranging and the first half of the quilt was ready to sew into it’s 4x8 layout. The sewn half was then pinned with painter’s tape and hung up on the wall next to the design board.
It was playtime with fabric distribution again.
The browns ended up in every column and every row in a seemingly “random” arrangement. The blues, yellows, pinks and greens are scattered throughout. It will be a cheerful bed quilt in a happy yellow room!
Borders were added for two reasons. My husband suggested, when asked, that borders would help to contain the cheerfulness of the quilt and secondly, they added a little length and width that will be useful. The quilt will shrink up a bit with quilting and I want to make sure the result fits the bed.
Summer travel provides photographic opportunities. This week we challenge you to upload one or two of your photographs to our Flickr site. Please include a brief description of how this photo inspires your creativity.
This is a metal fabricated trash can that has gorgeous lines that might inspire quilting or beading. They show such energy.
This is the front side of a set of stairs. The risers are a mosaic of "agates" and the grey lines are the treads. The rhythm is interesting and the textures are so opposite one another. Fun to think about.
Meet here next Tuesday.

Ellis Middle students make carp kites on ‘Children’s Day’
The sixth-grade art students at Robert E. Ellis Middle School in Hendersonville recently celebrated the Japanese holiday “Children’s Day” on May 5. The young artists made carp kites known as “Koinobori” under the instruction of their art teacher, Stephanie Preston.
The sixth-graders’ kites were installed outside of the school that day for the community to see.
In Japan, Children’s Day is set aside for families to celebrate their children by wishing them strength, happiness and a long life. The carp fish is symbolic to the Japanese for overcoming obstacles since carp swim against the current. Kites are made on Children’s Day in the shape of carp fish for each child; when the wind blows they appear to be “swimming.”

This is not a typical Drama to sit out when it gets boring. For me, a good movie is one which has several smart conversations and if those collective conversations brings up the central idea of the movie, it’s a delight. It's really hard for me to separate best from favorite. With best, you really have to distinguish what makes it important. Taking into consideration the influence it brought to the medium, be it with writing, direction, cinematography. No movie ever has filled me with so much strange energy and gotten me so immersed in it. I've been searching for more movie online like this since watching and researching it, vainly... The action, special effects, characters and score are all perfect to me.... Show more

Another snow day! To run or to take that extra rest day?
I never had to train in the snow until I moved to North Carolina. Even then, we usually get more ice than snow in North Carolina. Ice means a definite rest day for me since it also limits me from driving to the gym and working out inside. A rest day is also better than slipping and getting injured. On the other hand, we finally had some fresh snow with very little ice this weekend so I decided to give it a try and it was a surprisingly do-able run!
These are my 3 main takeaways from my run in the snow:
- Take it slow.
- Run in short strides with your feet closer to the ground.
- Focus on the ground in front of you – be aware of icy areas, cracks in the snow, holes, etc.

EPSI #BeActive Partner since 2015
EPSI is partner of the European Commission since the first edition of the Week. Launched in 2015, the #BeActive European Week of Sport was created in response to the worsening inactivity crisis. From that day, the Week has continued to grow year after year, encouraging ever more Europeans to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle. From five million participants and 7,000 events in 2015, the 2018 edition drew in a staggering 12 million participants across 48,500 events.
In 2019, the 5th-annual European Week of Sport has been the biggest ever, with events supported by 47 partner associations in 41 countries. The Week is for everyone – regardless of age, background or fitness level – and helps individuals, public authorities, the sport movement, civil society organisations and the private sector collaborate in the field of sport.
EPSI 2020 #BeActive e-vents
This year, EPSI organises a series of non-physical meetings, aimed at promoting sport and the #BeActive spirit at national and international level.

I do not pretend to be a tea expert. More renowned, Englisher minds than mine have given specific guidelines for proper tea preparation and consumption. I drink tea like an American. An American who doesn’t let the English boss her around. An American who wants a moderate amount of caffeine, is nominally avoiding artificial sweeteners, and doesn’t have time for froufrou loose leaves, timers, and temperature control. These are my American Tea Tips.
- If you drink even one cup of tea a week, get an electric water kettle. Sure, you can use the microwave, but that appliance makes boiling water a chore. Is the water heated thoroughly? Who can tell? Is the water boiling over? Now you have sopping to do. Did you microwave your mug? Did you forget how hot the handle gets? Did you drop your mug on the ground? Did you curse the heavens? Electric kettles are foolproof. Also, microwaves beep, boop, chime, ding, etc. Electric kettles make two sounds: boiling and not boiling. Worth every penny.
- Green tea generally tastes like grass. To overcome this flavor with sweetener, you need levels that rival Coca-Cola. That’s why the bottled green tea at convenience stores or the kind Panera sells tastes so good. Instead of fighting the grass with sweet, I recommend leaning into the tang with sour. Add lemon or lime juice to green tea (hot or cold, but hot is better). The juice cuts the tannic, grassy taste and makes the tea pleasant to drink. The vitamin C in the juice supposedly enhances the positive antioxidant properties of the tea (if you believe in that business). Plus, as opposed to sugar, the caloric content of lemon juice is negligible. And you barely need to stir. It is a win-win-win-win situation
- Black tea, as Milo’s so delectably demonstrates, also needs a lot of sugar to become palatable. With regard to iced black tea, I’ll give the same instruction as green, for the same reasons. Lemon juice in unsweetened iced tea makes it instantly tasty. The amount of Splenda necessary to properly sweeten iced tea would make a lab rat cringe. (Disclaimer: The author finds Milo’s prepackaged tea with Splenda irredeemably delicious.) Either leave the sweetening to the professionals or take it unsweetened with lemon. Only a maniac takes it sweetened with lemon.
- I can drink coffee with no sugar, and I can drink a Frappuccino; I cannot abide anything in between. The same holds true for hot black tea. While I can drink coffee black, black tea tastes much better with cream. English people might tell you to use milk. I will tell you to use Silk creamer. It pairs very well and lasts longer than dairy. (Black tea and coffee differ on one noteworthy point: When hot coffee turns tepid it tastes like floor cleaner, but cold hot black tea is still highly drinkable. You may not want to drink it cold, but the flavor is pleasant and easy to finish off. No gags.)
- Things That Don’t Matter, Part I: How long you steep your tea. I practice the “set it and forget it” method of steeping, so mine usually steeps anywhere from 25 to 70 minutes. I’ll admit, on the later end of that spectrum it will start to taste a little funky, but the folks at fancy tea stores will recommend the steep time down to the second. This is a scare tactic to make their product seem important. Don’t give them your power.
- Things That Don’t Matter, Part II: How hot your water is. Boil + pour. Do you think the billions of Chinese and Indian tea drinkers over the millennia used electric thermometers? Who cares? Those fancy tea slingers will dictate your temperature. Tea is not raw chicken.
- Finally, a word of warning to those who use tea to lose weight. “Detox” and “slimming” on a box of tea is code for laxative. As a weight-loss measure, it will probably just upset your system and dehydrate you. Don’t drink a laxative tea unless you (and preferably your doctor) know what you’re doing.
For a long time I avoided tea because it was a hassle to prepare, didn’t taste very good, and was not preferable to other beverages. Tea is now a part of my daily routine. If tea hasn’t satisfied you in the past, I recommend giving it another shot.

‘I will appoint a time, I will judge with equity’ (2)
This short psalm is one of thanksgiving for divine justice, confronting human arrogance with a reminder to the proud and powerful not to rely on their own achievements for prominence or praise. In times of global crisis, whether financial, political or public health, the psalmist reminds us that:
When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep the pillars steady. (3)
That divine justice — pictured as a common ‘cup with foaming wine, well mixed’, from which all shall drink — will be a great leveller. (8)
The thoughtful approach of Psalms for All Seasons mentioned above is continued here in the suggestion that the psalm is quite like the Magnificat (Luke 1). So PFAS includes a nice traditional Irish version of this song, My soul cries out, to the tune Star of County Down.
An enthusiastic group, once released from social distancing, might enjoy singing an old hymn in the public domain, To thee, O God, we render praise, by Joseph Stephenson (1723-1810).

Candidates for the South Gloucestershire district elections, which take place on the same day as the general election (Thursday 7th May), have been officially announced.
Perhaps the most intriguing contest in the local wards will be in Bradley Stoke North (1 seat), where the incumbent, Ben Walker, elected in 2011 on a Conservative ticket, defends his seat after an acrimonious defection to UKIP in May 2012. Despite Cllr Walker’s relatively high public profile, gained through two terms as Bradley Stoke mayor and his current candidacy for the Filton and Bradley Stoke parliamentary seat, the Conservatives will be hoping that their candidate, Paul Hardwick (a Bradley Stoke town councillor since September 2012), can return the seat to the blue fold. The other candidates are Dawn Clode (Liberal Democrat) and Philip Edwards (Labour).
Eight candidates contest the Bradley Stoke Central and Stoke Lodge ward (2 seats), where incumbents Brian Hopkinson (Conservative) and Sarah Pomfret (Conservative) both stand for re-election. Independent candidate Rebecca Strong, who contested this ward in 2011, also stands again. Former district councillor Jon Williams (Liberal Democrat), defeated in 2011 by Ben Walker in Bradley Stoke North, is a surprise contender. The other four candidates are Anne Addison (Labour), Stephen Barr (UKIP), Sarah Drake (Liberal Democrat) and Natasha Thwaites (UKIP).
Residents in Bradley Stoke South (2 seats) will have at least one new councillor on 8th May, as one of the incumbents, Rob Jones (Conservative), is not standing for re-election, having moved to North Somerset during his term in office. John Ashe, the other Conservative incumbent, stands again, along with party colleague Roger Avenin (a Bradley Stoke town councillor since May 2007). They are opposed by six other candidates: Davis Addison (Labour), Anthony Blake (Labour), Tom Crawley (UKIP), Derrick Powell (UKIP), Andrew White (Liberal Democrat) and Christine Willmore (Liberal Democrat).
Some parts of the south of Bradley Stoke actually lie in the Stoke Gifford district ward (3 seats), where two of the incumbents, Brian Allinson (Conservative) and Keith Cranney (Conservative), stand for re-election. Here, the Green Party puts up its only candidate across the four local wards, Richard Burton. The other candidates are Ernie Brown (Conservative), Benjamin Campbell (Liberal Democrat), Andrew Chubb (Labour), Louis Crawley (UKIP), Ginge Dangerfield (UKIP), Dayley Lawrence (Labour), Ben Scott (Labour), Laurence Walker (Liberal Democrat) and Becky Williams (Liberal Democrat).
Bradley Stoke residents contesting out-of-town district wards include town councillor Ben Randles (Conservative) standing in Filton, town councillor Ed Rose (UKIP) standing in Patchway and Caroline Sullivan (UKIP) standing in Almondsbury.
The Journal understands that votes in the district elections will be counted on 8th May at Thornbury Leisure Centre, with the results being announced in the late afternoon/early evening.

Non-medical Face Mask
The face masks are made from a re-useable fabric washable at 60 degrees. The masks are four ply, two layers of material and two layers of lining.
The masks have been made in a sanitised environment and not been touched directly by ungloved and unsanitised hands during production. It is recommended they are washed before wearing
The masks will be delivered in sealed envelopes.
Whilst these masks are "non medical" they do substantially reduce the risk of the wearer transmitting the virus to another person, they DO NOT guarantee protection to the wearer catching the virus from another person.
With the resumption of masonic activity from 17th July this is the ideal time to buy yourself a mask.
The cost for each mask is £5 and all proceeds will go directly to the Essex Mark Welfare Fund.

Nations 9th SMS/800 Integration
TollFree.Exchange is a telephone for toll free operators in the United States. The Toll-Free Exchange lets you set up bilateral paid peering from one registered SMS/800 Resp Org to another.
We were extremely excited to listen to the idea; based on the challenges it posed and bring idea to life. As one would imagine creating a telephone exchange would be a large software and with multiple components moreover, the system would be far away from naive architectures.
With the implementation we had to keep a few goals in mind:
- Getting domain knowledge telecom world
- To keep the architecture simple and decoupled
- Scale the needed services in the exchange
- External integration with a legacy system
Since this was a technology centric project we came up with innovative ways on the delivery side. We ditched the Agile software development practices and constituted a highly technical team on the project where the software architect played multiple roles in business analysis and project management.
As the team understood the nitty gritties in the telecom space and started development, a few members stayed keenly focused on building the right Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) in order to be highly scalable and highly available. The technology stack was polyglot.
The routing and the switching mechanism needed to be highly available and it had an external dependency on a legacy system from a company called Somoss’ – SMS/800. The challenge is that the data needs to be dealt at the TCP level which comes in as a stream of encrypted binary data mixed with text data.
Although some parts of the exchange needed to be highly scalable we didn’t start thinking scaling from day one. We easily added scalability with JRuby and the actor pattern when we started load testing the application. The modularity of the services helped us refactor with ease to scale only what was required.
We successfully delivered the exchange and its customers are some of the biggest names in the industry like: Incontact, Ringcentral. Even Google ended making itself a Operator(Resporg).

Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders, Monday Night Football. After the controversy with Antonio Brown, the Raiders hope to play in peace this season. Jon Gruden is focused on the team having a better season. The expectation is Derek Carr, the fans and everyone expects Carr to play at the same level two years ago. The Broncos are still looking for the road of victories, now with Joe Flacco the hope is much greater than last season.
Oakland Raiders: No more drama.
The Raiders are tired of the whole circus that was generated by Antonio Brown. What Brown did was stupid. All this fight for a helmet. Brown is immature and will surely not succeed with the Patriots. Last season with Gruden in front, the Raiders had a negative record at home with 3-4-0. But the last game in 2018 was a home victory against the Broncos 27-14. It should be noted that at that time Joe Flacco was not with the Broncos.
At home the Raiders are scoring an average of 25.1 points per game, 25.1 rushes with 113.0 rush yards, 26 complete passes with 271.7 rush yards. The second half is the best for the Raiders playing at home with 13.60 points on average. The defense allows up to 30.3 points per game at home.
Derek Carr has had negative numbers in the last two years. 2017 with 6-9-0 and last season with 4-12-0. The best year for Carr was in 2016 with 12-3-0. The team needs Carr to be the player of two years ago. But not all of the blame is on Derek, the WRs and the defenders must also help Darek.
Denver Broncos: With new QB.
The Broncos dream of a better season. The team has a veteran like Joe Flacco, but how can that help the Broncos’ expectations this year. Last season was negative for the Broncos with 6-10-0, third place in the West Division of the AFC. The Broncos have not won a game on the road since December 2 against the Bengals. The last four games of last season were defeats.
On the road the Broncos are scoring an average of 21.6 points per game, 25.8 rushes with 132.6 rush yards, 21.8 complete passes with 206.0 pass yards. The defense allows 26.8 rushes with 115.2 rush yards and up to 22.5 points per game.
Joe Flacco 4-5-0 in his last season with the Baltimore Ravens. The numbers at his farewell were 2465 yards, 12 touchdowns, 61.2%, 232 complete passes. Flacco spent ten years with the Ravens. The best of Flacco with the Ravens was championship in 2012 in the superbowl xlvii.
My Free Pick & Prediction for Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders 09/09/2019 is: take the Oakland Raiders +2.5 (spread).
Enjoy today’s free pick and (hopefully) another winner! Please note that the prediction you see above is my own personal opinion only.

Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are three largest city-economies today, but Delhi will overtake Mumbai sometime before 2025.
Individual prosperity— as measured by per capita GDP—is the highest in Bangalore and Pune today. Per capita income of Pune will march ahead of every other city by 2025.
The highest rate of GDP growth will be in Ahmedabad, followed by Pune. Delhi beats Mumbai in growth rates of both, GDP & per capita income.
Mumbai’s per capita income will double by 2025, which will be the slowest rate of growth.
All data is drawn from McKinsey Global Institute’s recent study called ‘Urban World: Cities and the rise of consumer class”.

BOMBAY can't be beaten..whatever it may be..
Avnipra Sri3022 days ago
Mumbai has nurtured unmatched professional work culture. It will always remain India's financial capital.
Himanshu3022 days ago
Its all theoretical.Mumbai has no match on various parameters like electricity,water supply,commuting,women safety,road traffic discipline and many more.Its said in the report that in 2025 Delhi will overtake Mumbai which is quit a long time the reality could be v different.
And one question needs to be asked is what is considered as Mumbai weather only BMC area or beyond,cos Mumbai for practical purposes is very vast much much beyond its municipal limits.Even Pune is extension of Mumbai,and now its going to be nashik.

There are many items still left on my AvGeek bucket list, but last week I was fortunate enough to cross a pretty BIG one off.
I was very excited to be invited to witness the arrival of the world’s largest aircraft ever produced, the mighty Antonov An-225. Nicknamed “Mriya”, which is the Ukranian word for dream. The aircraft first flew in 1988 and is the only plane of its kind in service today. There was a second model built to about 70% completion, but due to funding problems it remains in a desolate state in Kiev.
The original mission scope of the aircraft was to carry the soviet spacecraft Buran, much like the American version of the 747-based Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the aircraft remained in storage for almost a decade before it was brought back into operational service as a cargo air-lifter, operated by Antonov Airlines. Mriya is primarily based in Kiev, Ukraine but has completed various missions all around the world.
Mriya was scheduled to make a series of three flights from Ostrava Airport in the east of Czech Republic. Once the schedule was released, I realized that I would only have one chance to get some decent shots, as two of the three flights were scheduled to take place during darkness.
There was much fanfare at Ostrava Airport, and I estimate close to 200-300 spotters came out for the arrival, not just from Czech Republic but also from Poland and Slovakia. It always amazes me the amount of enthusiasm that is clearly present in the Czech population for all things aviation.
I was fortunate enough to be on the other side of the fence, as one of my friends works at the airport. Thanks to this unique access, I was able to not only get some amazing shots of the aircraft, but also partake in assisting my friend with the preparation for the arrival of this beast. As there was about four inches of snow on the aprons, I got to witness first-hand the complex and demanding task of snow clearing.
It was truly an awe-inspiring experience to be able to see this colossal, yet somehow majestic, aircraft up-close. This really goes down as one of my best AvGeek experiences to date!

I currently use Ableton Live 9 and thinking about fully switching to Ubuntu. Ableton has no support nor plans for Ubuntu or Linux, so I have to switch or Wine/VM it. I know using VM/Wine is clunky for midis and sometimes impossible for VM, so I'd rather switch. I looked into a couple daws like LMMS, Bitwig, and Ardour but haven't tried any yet.
I mainly use midi keys, but I also use an Ableton Push and previously used a launchpad which my friend now owns. I love Ableton's ease with midi instruments and ability to use VST plug-ins. My main concern is compatibility with the equipment that I previously stated.
So where should I go from here?

There are near about 40 variants of freight trucks plying India’s roads. Trucking technology startup Blackbuck is aiming to triple the size of its truck-hailing platform within the next two years following a round of funding.
The startup aims to solve the complex puzzle of matching loads with capacity by connecting shippers with trucks something similar to Uber. Uber connects passengers with taxis helping to streamline the puzzle, which indeed is complex in India.
The Bangalore based startup Zinka’s logistics solution BlackBuck has 300,000 trucks and 60,000 fleet owners on its platform in just within 3 years and dreams to increase that number to 1 million by 2021. Recently the startup had raised $150 million in Series-D funding as a part of this round, BlackBuck employees can sell 25% of their total vested stocks, according to reports. The company’s employee stock pool stands at 4.7% and is valued at Rs 300 crore.
If the valuation of the company strikes 1 Billion marks, it will be India’s 17th company to touch unicorn status. With this solution, shippers can book a truck with a click just like any other ride-hailing App BlackBuck matches the demand with available trucks and drivers. The drivers then go to the pickup point and then to its destination. If the drivers manage to deliver it before time, then they receive incentives from BlackBuck.
Founded by two engineers and a business graduate in 2015, Zinka is trying to push its way in the largest economy in South Asia through deep technology.

Government should create ‘Help To Rent’ says homelessness charity
Half of England’s local authorities claim it is ‘very difficult’ to assist homeless applicants into privately rented accommodation with Help to Rent, according to a report published today by national homelessness charity Crisis and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
The report, which includes evidence from 162 of England’s 326 local authorities, reveals that councils are finding it particularly difficult to house homeless young people and large families: 85 per cent of councils say they are having difficulties assisting single people aged 25-34 into accommodation with 88 per cent finding it difficult to house large families.
The findings are from The Homelessness Monitor: England, an annual independent study funded by Crisis and JRF. Drawing on a national survey of councils, statistical analysis and in-depth interviews, the report analyses the impact of economic and policy developments on homelessness.
The report raises particular concern for the future of single young people, who are identified as being at far higher risk of homelessness than older adults due to rising unemployment, spiralling rents and, especially, declining benefit protection. Some 94 per cent of councils stated they anticipate greater difficulties in finding accommodation for homeless 25 to 34 year olds in the next two to three years.
The overwhelming majority of responding councils also expressed concerns that the rollout of Universal Credit will further exacerbate homelessness, mainly due to the potential impact on landlords’ willingness to let to homeless people. Meanwhile, welfare cuts and Local Housing Allowance falling well short of rents in many locations were also cited as major barriers to councils’ attempts to house homeless applicants.
Nearly 58,000 people were accepted as homeless by their council in 2015/16 – 18,000 higher than 2009/10. Meanwhile, placements in temporary accommodation have risen sharply, with the national total up by nine per cent in the year to 30 June 2016, a rise of 52 per cent compared to 2009/10.
“Until the number of truly affordable rented homes increases significantly, councils will continue to come under huge financial pressure, with dreadful consequences for the most vulnerable in our society” says Jon Sparkes, chief executive of Crisis.
“Private renting is often the only choice homeless people have. That’s why Crisis is calling on the government to invest in schemes that support people into the private rented sector, such as establishing and underwriting a national rent deposit guarantee. The government is already pouring billions into Help to Buy support. What we really need is Help to Rent.”

The Night Garden
From Newbery Honor--and National Book Award--winning author Polly Horvath, a magical middle grade novel that features a garden that grants wishes. It is World War II and Franny Whitekraft lives with her parents, Sina and Old Tom, on a farm on Vancouver Island. Their peaceful life is interrupted when their neighbor, Crying Alice, begs Sina to watch her children while she goes to visit her husband at the military base where he is stationed because she suspects he's up to no good. Soon after the children move in, letters start to arrive from their father and they don't understand what they mean until it is too late to stop him from doing something that threatens to change their whole lives. Can the ancient, forbidden night garden that supposedly grants everyone one wish help? And if it does, at what cost?

This Adventurer's League Reference has Goliaths being from Thesk, specifically the Thesk Mountains. Granted they can be from other areas too, like the ones /u/Watcherwithin mentioned. Thesk just seems to be the main place you'd notice them being from.
Nuts to what everyone else is saying. Yes, it would make a good Halloween one shot. You should look at Lichfield by awful good games. It is a one shot adventure for Dungeon World inspired by Silent Hill and would make a great Halloween one shot.
If I were you I'd narrow down their choices for playbooks to make it easier for them to choose quickly and skip the bonds entirely. Give them the connection like you're all investigating this strange thing in a town for their boss/king/shady man at an inn.
Really push the narrative tags on attacks against them. Throw others in there too like +maddening or +hallucinagenic that force them to defy danger to fight the mental effects before their even able to make an attack.
Make them defy danger when exposed to the horrors and use their Wis. If they fail they take a wound to their WIS, INT, or CHA and everyone treats them like a crazy person or like there is something off about them. Give them multiple mental wounds or curses that make them take -1 ongoing to Spout Lore/Discern Realities with hard moves to show them they are losing their grip on what's real.
Don't be afraid to take a limb from one of them either if they take a hit from something that has a +messy tag. Introduce them to characters that help them and then have them be the first to die before they can do anything to save them. It's a one shot right? So who cares about their character's long term health or ability to continue adventuring.

In this paper a highly abstracted view on the historical development of Genetic Algorithms for the Traveling Salesman Problem is given. In a meta-data analysis three phases in the development can be distinguished. First exponential growth in interest till 1996 can be observed, growth stays linear till 2011 and after that publications deteriorate. These three phases are examined and the major milestones are presented. Lastly an outlook to future work in this field is infered.

Webinar: Maintaining security and compliance in a remote working world, with Peter Buck from NetDocuments
COVID-19 has transformed the way we do business and accelerated the trend towards remote working: a trend that is causing us to put our technology and processes under the microscope and ask if they are really now fit for purpose.
On Thursday 7 May at 4pm BST we are speaking with Peter Buck, VP of product strategy at NetDocuments, we will discuss how law firms and corporates must ensure that security is not compromised in light of the wholesale shift towards remote working. In this interactive live conversation, we will take a look at:
- Examples of how teams are working post lock down and the challenges that they are facing.
- VPN technology and its sustainability in a remote working world, where the concept of a network perimeter no longer applies. How do organisations ensure that they protect against insider attacks and have the right infrastructure and technology in place to compete? How do you find the balance between productivity and security?
- What are firms and corporates doing to resolve issues around their paper workflow?
- What steps do legal organisations need to take to (securely) digitise the way they collaborate?
- Plus, we will consider the issues surrounding office space including maintaining physical security and safety in returning to work.
- What do firms wanting to make the transition to cloud need to do now to prepare?
