The evolution of the opposable or prehensile thumb is usually associated with Homo habilis, the forerunner of Homo sapiens. This, however, is the suggested result of evolution from Homo erectus (around 1 MYA) via a series of intermediate anthropoid stages, and is therefore a much more complicated link.
the simultaneous development of a larger anthropoid brain in the later stages.
It is possible, though, that a more likely scenario may be that the specialized, precision gripping hand (equipped with opposable thumb) of Homo habilis preceded walking, with the specialized adaptation of the spine, pelvis and lower extremities proceeding [author presumably means "preceding"- S.K.] a more advanced hand. And, it is logical that a conservative, highly functional adaptation be followed by a series of more complex ones that complement it. With Homo habilis an advanced grasping-capable hand was accompanied by facultative bipedalism, possibly implying, assuming a co-opted evolutionary relationship exists, that the later [ = "latter" -S.K.] resulted from the former as obligate bipedalism was yet to follow. Walking may have been a byproduct of busy hands and not vice versa.
The thumb, unlike other fingers, is opposable, in that it is the only digit on the human hand which is able to oppose or turn back against the other four fingers, and thus enables the hand to refine its grip to hold objects which it would be unable to do otherwise. The opposable thumb has helped the human species develop more accurate fine motor skills. It is also thought to have directly led to the development of tools, not just in humans or their evolutionary ancestors, but other primates as well. The thumb, in conjunction with the other fingers make humans and other species with similar hands some of the most dexterous in the world.
* Bornean Orangutan - opposable thumbs on all four hands. The interdigital grip gives them the ability to pick fruit.
* Gorillas - opposable on all four hands.
* Chimpanzees have opposable thumbs on all four hands.
* Lesser Apes have opposable thumbs on all four hands.
* Old World Monkeys, with some exceptions, such as the genera, Piliocolobus and Colobus.
* Giant Panda - Panda paws have five clawed fingers plus an extra bone that works like an opposable thumb. This "thumb" is not really a finger (like the human thumb is), but an extra-long sesamoid bone that works like a thumb.
* Troodon - a birdlike dinosaur with partially opposable thumbs.
* Raccoon - a common mammal with thumbs, which are not opposables.
Evolution of the Human species. On this site it states that "Human Species has a unique opposable thumb (chimpanzees don't)".

The GST tax is a flat, 40 percent tax on transfers to “skip persons,” including grandchildren, other family members more than a generation below you, non-family members more than 37 ½ years younger than you and certain trusts (if all of their beneficiaries are skip persons). However, if your child predeceases his or her children, they’re no longer considered skip persons.
GST tax applies to gifts or bequests directly to a skip person and to certain transfers by trusts to skip persons. Gifts that fall within the annual gift tax exclusion, which is currently $14,000 per recipient or $28,000 for gifts split by married couples, are also shielded from GST tax.
To take full advantage of the GST tax exemption, you or your estate’s representative must properly allocate it to specific gifts and bequests on a timely filed gift or estate tax return. Allocating the exemption wisely can provide substantial tax benefits.
To help prevent costly mistakes like this from happening, the tax code and regulations provide for automatic allocation under certain circumstances. Your exemption is automatically allocated to direct skips as well as to contributions to “GST trusts.” These are trusts that could produce a generation-skipping transfer, which is subject to several exceptions.
The automatic allocation rules work well to ensure that GST exemptions are allocated in the most tax-advantageous manner. But in some cases, automatic allocation can lead to undesirable results.
Suppose you establish a trust for your children with the remainder passing to your grandchildren. You assume the automatic allocation rules will shield the trust from GST tax. But the trust gives one of your children a general power of appointment over 50 percent of the trust assets, disqualifying it from GST trust status. Unless you affirmatively allocate your exemption to the trust, distributions, or other transfers to your grandchildren will be subject to GST taxes.
If you plan to make gifts to skip persons, or to trusts that may benefit skip persons, consider your potential GST tax exposure. Also, keep in mind that repeal of the GST tax, along with the gift and estate tax, has been proposed.
If you have any questions on any tax law changes that affect estate planning, please contact your tax advisor or Ann Holthouser, Partner, Tax Services, at 314.983.1277 or [email protected].

There are distinct differences in how granite can be finished. Choosing the finish can affect not only the look of the stone, but it’s surface tendencies as well.
As it implies, a polished granite is the most shiny and reflective surface. This is considered a glossy mirror finish. The full color, depth, and crystal structure of the stone is visible. Your stone appears darker the colors seem richer than what you would see from the raw stone. It will also highlight more of the character out of your natural stone, making it the most desired and most chosen option for counter tops.
The surface is much easier to keep clean and free from staining. A polished finish seals or closes more of the pores of the stone surface which helps the stone repel moisture. It is nearly impervious to weather and chemical wear.
The harder the stone is that is being polished, the harder it is to polish and therefore it is more likely to retain it’s shine for a long, long time.
To achieve a honed surface finish, the finishing process ends prior to the buffing stage. The result is a smooth surface without reflection. A perfectly honed granite finish is one without scratch marks. The finish remains flatter than a full gloss polish. Generally this finish is preferred for floors, stairs, or other locations where the presence of water might make a polished finish slippery, or where foot traffic may wear off a polished finish. A honed finish is much more common for marble counter tops, as marble is a softer stone and therefore the polish scratches more easily.
However, honed granite can be, and occasionally is, used for kitchen counter tops. Taking the high gloss polish off of your stone will decrease the depth of color, and depending on the type of granite, can make it more susceptible to surface staining.
The leathered finish out stands the honed by giving a more sophisticated look to the stone. The leathering process closes the stone pores which helps it to become more stain resistant than the honed surface. A leathered finish retains the stone’s natural color, while the honing process washes out the natural color. A leathered finish also hides fingerprints and water spots better than a polished surface.
I am finishing a bullnose edge of a counter top and keep getting a white frost appearance. I went from 50 grit to 3000 grit in 8 steps and a buff at the end. I am using a grinder that has a water attachment flowing through the pads backing.
It is difficult to say what you are doing wrong without seeing the work. There are a several possibilities, like you may simply not be using enough water. You also may not be holding the grinder flat. Another possibility is that you aren’t spending enough time with the 100 or 200 grit pads. We recommend that you let the piece dry after each pad which may help you determine where you are going wrong.
Originally from Batavia, now living in Hawaii and looking for an independent answer on a question from our recently installed granite kitchen countertop. The polished finish does not appear to me to be completed, or polished enough. There are spots, cracks or small areas on the surface that you can see (if you look at just the correct angle with the light) or feel when you pass your finger over it. To the touch you can feel the rough or unpolished spots. Is this something that our installer can easily fix, and is it a result of not polishing the granite for a long enough time period before it was actually installed?
It is difficult to answer this question without seeing the material. Different colors of granite have different compositions. Sometimes there are inclusions, like mica, that come to a different polish than the rest of the countertops. Your installer should be able to address this issue, and possibly come out and refinish the top. If you know the name of the granite that was installed, we can most likely give you a more thorough answer as to what the problem might be.
I’ve heard you can oil or make leathered granite shine but not sure what to use to do that. Any suggestions?
Without knowing what type of granite you have, it is difficult for me to make any recommendations. I suggest you call our shop, at 585-586-6510, so I can discuss some of the details with you about what your options are.
LOVE THIS! Absolutely perfect, and looks super easy! I’ve been wanting to redo my kitchen, but I’ve been intimidated by the amount of work it takes. Thanks for sharing this project for beginners like me. 🙂 Just ordered by BB Frosch chalk powder paint, and I can’t wait to get started!
Thanks for the great article. I have been looking at leathered granite for my new kitchen. However, I have a couple of question.
1. One of the places I visited told me the leathered will go glosses if oil or butter is left on it (not that we plan this but I’m not always the only one using the kitchen). He told me no matter what, it will go glossy. Now this company had no leathered granite in stock and would have to send out to have done.
2. When I go looking at granite, it seems the only samples of leathered granite are always in dark color and my concern is that the look I am going for will not carry as well to light colored granite. I know all colors can be leathered but do lighter colors wash out too much?
Leathered and Honed granite can become glossy if oils are left on the material. If the stone is properly sealed that shouldn’t be a problem. Generally lighter colored granite will need more frequent sealing than darker granite. I have seen some very beautiful light color leathered granite. The color does not wash out at all.
Thank you so much. I wasn’t planning on a pure white so hopefully it won’t be an issue then.
Hi I have leathered steel grey tiles, need to know how can I bring the leathered shined finish, is it by using sealant or mechanical means, please advise.
You can treat the tiles with an ager which will darken them and give them a little more shine. Leathered stone can’t really be brought to a full shine.
What is a satine finish ? Can you explain ?
Satin finish is another word for Honed finish (see above).
While it is not impossible to take a polished finish down to a leathered finish, it would be pretty costly as well as very messy (it is a process that requires the material stay wet). Leathered finishes are done to the slabs by large machines during production, and before they reach the fabricator. It would be difficult to duplicate a leathered finish by hand, especially after the counters have already been installed. It isn’t a procedure we would recommend attempting. You can certainly call fabricators in your area to see if it is something they would even be willing to attempt.
That is what I thought the answer would be…..thank you!!

At Canvart, we are not happy unless you are happy, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that the end result is smiles all around!
I thought I would write a little something to add your wonderful testimonials you received from others on your website.
I would highly recommend Canvart to anyone. I contacted Jane to see what the possibility would be to get a very personal old photograph of my sister and myself taken when we were small transferred over to pop art for her 40th birthday party in 2 days. Not only was the photo in terrible quality, it was only a coloured photocopy of the original and she not only managed to get a proof done within that day but couriered to me the following day from Queenstown to Auckland.
She provided me with up to date emails when my popart was ready and printed and to when it would be delivered. It was delivered in the morning and my sister was over the moon with the pop art! She loved the colours and the image was so clear. It actually brought a tear to her eye! Prior to contacting Jane I had been in contact with 2 other canvas companies in Auckland and their work was nothing compared to Jane's.
Thanks for your hardwork and dedication!
I thought I would send you a quick email to to let you know that I have received my canvas and am absolutely wrapped with it, It looks amazing. It is evident that you and your team are passionate about what you do, this is seen in not only in the quality of the print but the quality of the service. I have no hesitating in recommending Canvart to friends and family and look forward to using Canvart again soon.
Once again I've had a wonderful piece of work done for my brother's 50th birthday, thanks to Jane with Canvart.
My brother was absolutely chuffed with it and I just want to recommend Jane at Canvart, who responded to all my changes promptly and this resulted in getting it done exactly to my requests. It was a scanned photo montage and it was a mixture of mostly old, some black and white and a bit rough photos.
Jane cropped them accordingly and obviously does some clever enhancing to them because my goodness, they come up like brand new digital ones! All this for such a great price as it's a work of art that's so individual and will be treasured by my brother as it tells such a personal story as well as looks nice on a wall.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I knew the canvas would be great, but I didn’t dream it would look so fantastic. We were so proud to give it to Aunty Bonny, she is (and they were..) so special and the whole thing just captured the essence of them, her.. her whanau Uncle Cyril, Mum and Dad her interests. My cousins were very impressed too, so we will pass on your details to them also.
I just wanted to thank you SOOOOO much for our Canvas print. It was BEAUTIFUL!! I will definitely be back with more pictures in the future. Your communication was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Packaging was awesome and ensured that even an earthquake couldn't damage our picture. All-in-all you operate an extremely professional business that I will be elated to deal with again.
"Hi Jane Just to let you know I received the canvas and am thrilled with it so thank you.
Not only am I extremely happy with the product but am very impressed with your professional and efficient service.
Your communication, speed, quality, friendliness and price were fantastic and I just wanted to pass that on and to say that I will definitely be using you again in the future.
We have plenty of companies in Auckland who provide the same product who I have used in the past but do not come anywhere near your standards so thanks once again."
My friend received her canvas in time for Christmas, despite the tight deadline. Thank you so much for getting it there in time, she was so impressed (it was a black and white photo of her new baby) that she cried!
Apart from her fantastic reaction, I'd also like to thank you for your impeccable service - you guys are so friendly, accommodating, and you always do what you say you're going to do.
I wanted a bigger canvas, but you suggested a smaller one for better picture quality even though it cost much less - your honesty and integrity is second to none. I've added your website in my 'favourites' and will recommend you to friends, as well as contact you in the future should I wish to buy more canvases."
"Mostly I wanted to thank you though for the quality and precision with which it was finished.
It's always a risk when you order over the net and know of no one to vouch for your service, so I do admit I was nervous in seeing the end result.
But let me tell you from someone who is soooo particular...beautiful job."
Well.......He absolutely loves it! I absolutely love it...in fact everyone who has seen it loves it!! It was awesome, we can't believe how fantatsic a job you have done... It does not look like they are only pictures too but more classy and the blends are great! Dave is over the moon with his present and I am really pleased with the result!
Thank you so much again Jane! I know who to contact now when we need some canvas masterpieces....and trust me, I think after this we'll be after some more during the years!
You have been so patient and it has been terrific dealing with you! I am attaching you some pics of Dave and I in love with the work of art! :o) "
I received the canvas on Friday, thank you very much, it's beautiful.
Just wanted to thank you for your quick delivery, hassel free service, and excellent work (and I'm not just saying that because it was all about me!).
Had I known it was going to be that simple, I wouldn't have waited a whole year to get around to it.
"Received the BEAUTIFUL artwork last week, thank you soooooooooooooooo much. Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the end product. Just perfect!!"
OMG I don't know what to say. I just got the print and it's gorgeous! You have done such an awesome job!
Thanks you so so much. I'm not sure i want to give it away now!"
Thank you very much for the canvas. It was even better than I imagined and we would recommend you to anyone else wanting to get a photo printed onto canvas.
Tayla and I were very stoaked with it and most importantly mum loved it. Also thanks for the effort in getting it to Hastings on time! "
"Just thought I would drop you a line and let you know that both the recipients of the POP Art you did for me were thrilled with them. The couple in particular were blowen away and were particularly pleased to not have a double chin.
Packaging was great as well. Both were sent to Australia and arrived in perfect condition."
I received it this morning. Thanks heaps, I had a wee peek and its looks great.
I have been really impressed with your level of service. I’m so glad my friend referred me to you and I know I will be doing the same to all my friends."
"the photo is absolutely beautiful, I priced an oil painting prior to ordering my photo, and the artist wanted over $500, you have managed to capture our beloved and departed dog in water-like painting and for less than half the price...I will certainly use and recommend your service again...thanks Jane and team..."
I would like to compliment you for the superb service and great effort to process the canvas order very quickly. Thanks for taking the time to explain queries and providing exceptional customer-focused service - You really have taken the extra mile to make your clients very satisfied!"
Thank you so much for the canvases. I received them earlier in the week and they look amazing! I think our parents will get a pleasant surprise when they see them on the day of our wedding and will make a great gift afterwards!
Your service was exceptional and I will definitely be recommending you! We will be back in touch once we have our own wedding photos to put onto canvas…"
Oh my Goodness Jane, I am totally gobsmacked, this is so cool, I actually sat at the PC and cried, my Husband is going to be overcome, this is the most awesome thing I think, he was so moved to be a first time Grandad, as you can see from the specials he ran at our Business, and I know he will be so moved when he receives it. Thanks from the bottom of my heart."
"Just wanted you to know that we sent our canvart to my mother for her 70th and are pleased to say, she really likes it. She's one difficult lady to please and wanted us to send her money so she can get what she wants.
But my daughter and I refuse to give that sort of gift and like to personalise it. Therefore, there was a good chance she wouldn't be too happy (and sadly, would probably tell us that!).
We really believe she likes it and she said things like, "It's a one of a kind" and "It looks like a piece of art" and "The colours are pretty". Not only are we pleased with the fact she really liked it, we would just like to thank you and the team at Canvart, once again, for the excellent service, helpful and professional advice, as well as prompt reply, product completion and delivery of goods.
This made the whole exercise stress free and I had no worries about completing the deal over the internet. Canvart are competively priced and their service is excellent. I have already highly recommended them to my friends and family and our finished product speaks for itself. Hope to use your services in the future."
"Prints arrived this morning and are fantastic. I really appreciate the effort and communication, your service has been second to none thank you."
What brilliant service - yet again!
Sam's canvas arrived today and she looks great - thank you so much for processing this so quickly before Christmas - you have made both my husband and my day. Thank you...."
"Thanks also for the great packaging. The boxes were left outside our front door and Wellington was unfortunately pounded with some decent rain so the boxes ended up getting wet. When we got home It was a great relief to find that because of the bubble wrap and the good quality box the pictures inside were fine.
Thanks once again for the great service and we will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family."
"Thank you so much for your efforts! I will definitely be using your services again! The tears rolling down my mums cheeks were priceless and said it all - you are magic! "
"Thank you so much for picture, I am absolutely stoked with it, I am sure my husband is going to love it.
I have to admit I was a bit nervous at first as I have seen some photos that have been put on canvas and they just looked dull and nothing like the photo, but yours looks exactly like the photo and the colours are bright it really catches your eye. I just can't say enough about how happy I am with it.
Thank you so much again, I can't wait to give it to my husband. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends. "
"Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with how the photo turned out. I knew it would be good, but to finally see it was much better than I expected. It was a birthday present for my girlfriend and it brought her to tears, she absolutely loves it. "
"Just a quick note to say that I received the canvas yesterday. I have given it to my Dad who is absolutely thrilled with it! Thanks so much for all your help - best present I have ever bought and one of the easiest too!"
"The photos arrived today. They look wonderful - thank you so so much! I've already hung them and have smiled each time I've walked by them this evening. They are something for me to treasure indeed.
I'll certainly be recommending your services to friends and family! Thanks for your wonderful service and assistance in getting these done for me."
"Thanks so much for all your help and efficiency. The print looked fantastic and was a well-received xmas surprise!! "
"Hi Jane - the canvas arrived yesterday, looks fantastic am very pleased with it! Loved the little one as well, thanks for that. My partner & I are definitely keen to get a few more done, so will be in touch & will definitely recommend Canvart to friends."
"Thanks so much, I can't wait to receive the prints - it has been really good working with you guys, and I will not hesitate to do so in the future!"
"A quick email of thanks. My print arrived yesterday and it looks fantastic. Thank you for your excellent prompt service! I have already recommended Canvart to my friends! "
"Thanks Jane, We were absolutely stoked with the picture you did for us (and so was the Xmas recipients of it!) The speediness of your service was much appreciated, we'll be recommending you to lots of friends! "
the prints have arrived and they are great - thanks for a great job!! I appreciated you great service attitude from start to finish with nothing being a problem. If you are happy to keep supplying me with prints I would love to order some more"
We just wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful canvas - we were delighted with the ease and speed of the whole process and the professionalism - from the website, to the packaging and the canvas itself. We love it!
"I just wanted to let you know I am thrilled with how it looks and the quality, I will be in touch next time I need anything done. Thanks :)"
"I just wanted to let you know (belatedly) that the canvas prints we received from you last year were perfect!

"I wanted to thank you all so much for our wonderful photo on canvas you did for us.
Mum absolutely loved it and even had a little cry on xmas morning. Safe to say i have been recommending you guys to everyone i know. Again thanks so much for all your extra help"
Just wanted to let you know that the canvas that I ordered for my mother for Christmas was just brilliant.
I was really pleased with as, as Mum was and now takes pride of place on her living room wall. Thanks for that and I will no doubt be doing more business with you in the future.
It was a very seamless and effortless procedure and thanks again so much."
"Hi, i recieved the canvas a few days before christmas which was excellent and i would just like to say how wonderful they looked. My parents loved them to bits, so thank you so much. My parents seem interested in ordering more in the future. so thanks once again"

Thank you very much and truly appreciate it merry christmas to you and your crew."
The artwork arrived first thing this morning via courier. And it looks great! Thanks heaps for your prompt service and delivery, and the high quality item that came out of it. I couldnt have asked for more.
Thanks so much for all your hard work. Everything arrived safely despite the torrential rain – I opened the door to go out and there they were sitting on the doorstep!
Am absolutely THRILLED with all of the canvas prints and I’m sure their recipients will be too.
Thanks again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Canvart Year!"
Received our canvas prints today and they are just awesome - we are stoked with them! Thanks heaps.
Have paid this morning via internet banking so the funds should clear in the next day or two.
Many thanks again and we are super impressed with the quality, super fast arrival time and your personal communications - is always so much nicer dealing with a person than an automated internet service."
"I am thankful to have found someone as committed as you to customer service. (and per email in addition) this is something rather rare and precious in NZ and it confirms my decision to have chosen your expertise ad company.
Our sincere thanks for the canvas which arrived this morning. We're delighted with the result and it's already hanging in pride of place in the living room where I'm sure it's going to give us a great deal of pleasure for many years.
Thanks also for the quick turn around following our initial query. We will be very happy to pass on your contact details to friends (and there have been some already) who comment on the picture."
Just a quick note to thank you very much for the speedy service and the fantastic quality of the images. It was a very smooth process and the images were absolutely loved!
I will defiantly be using your service again."
"I really appreciate all the time and effort you have put into sorting this matter out. I don't doubt that it has caused you a great deal of inconvenience so I truly value the fact that you've gone the extra mile."
Sometimes you can never be organised enough! We were doing a print for a client as a farewell gift for one of their employees who's last day was a Friday. As this was a tight deadline, we went out of our way to make sure that the print went on the overnight courier on Wednesday, just in case.
On Thursday afternoon we received a phone call to say that the print hadn't turned up. Strange... After a lengthy phone call with the courier company it was established that the print had been put in the wrong bin at the depot and had gone in a truck instead of a plane!
Unfortunately the print was only going to arrive on Monday or Tuesday.
As this didn't help our client, we put our thinking caps on and came up with a plan. Dinner plans were put on hold, and the printer was fired up. Hours later, we arrived at the airport (1 hour away) with 5 minutes to spare, and got the print onto a plane.
The end result was that the client had the print in time for the (rescheduled) farewell presentation. We spent more on delivering the print than we received for it, but that didn't matter. A happy client was our #1 Priority!! And the funny thing is that the other print actually arrived an hour later!

There are topics for various tag operations as shown below.
The %SYSTEMWEB% web has all of those topics.
And the =_default= template web has all of those topics now, but not in the past.
I discovered yesterday that the _default template web does not include those topics. It should.

I just found out that I had $127.15 in a brokerage account I thought I had closed. Amazingly, this is just about the exact amount of money it's costing me for two sessions with the therapist because of my back. ($64 a session) If I believed such coincidences had cosmic significance, I would be pissed that the universe short changed me 85 cents.

The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards are almost upon us and it's bound to be a night full of surprises. It's safe to say that this awards show is completely unlike any other. This year, there isn't even a host, which is a completely different formula than most shows (although, there were no hosts at the 2013 or 2014 VMAs either), with comedy duo Key and Peele acting as the night's masters of ceremonies and DJ Khaled, Jay Pharoah, and Nicole Byer acting as correspondents throughout the show. The pre-show, however, will have some legitimate hosting going on and one of the hosts of the 2016 VMAs pre-show is Lizzo, a rapper/singer/social activist you may not be very familiar with yet, but definitely will be after Sunday night.
She may not be exactly a household name but this woman is going to take the world by storm. If you haven't checked her out, make sure you pay attention when she co-hosts the VMAs pre-show this Sunday, Aug. 28 beginning at 8 p.m. This powerhouse is not only supremely talented as an artist, but she is also not afraid to speak out about social change. She is an amazing choice to be one of the show's leaders for the night. Want to know more about Lizzo? Here are a few tidbits about her to get you up to speed before her big night at the VMAs.
Lizzo burst onto the scene with her first solo venture in 2013. Her album was entitled "Lizzobangers" and was critically applauded and actually earned her a spot on Time's "14 Bands and Artists To Watch". Not a bad entrance into the music world, huh?
According to SPIN, Lizzo released her body positive video for her single, "My Skin" in response to 24-year-old Jamar Clark dying at the hands of police officers. She released the video on her Facebook page, along with a statement about the relationship between black men and police in today's society. She then went to Twitter to start the #MySkin campaign to encourage people to share similar, body positive photos. She also makes sure to constantly lend her voice and support #BlackLivesMatter, especially on her Instagram. It's refreshing to see an artist be vocal about issues that really matter.
Lizzo seems like someone who recognizes how she got to where she is and is always willing to show her appreciation when she can. If you like how she hosts the VMAs pre-show, reach out and tell her — she just may answer.
After releasing her 2015 album, Big Grrrl, Small World, she was recognized in SPIN's "50 Best Hip Hop Albums of 2015."
Considering who they have running the show, this year's VMAs should not be missed, just make sure you tune in early enough to see Lizzo on the pre-show.

This is a new space police procedural mystery from S. Evan Townsend - Treasures of the Rogue Moon.
. . . what fools these mortal be!
Jil Handaughter and Rick Bailey are living in hiding, hoping the Core Empire or the Interstellar Militia and Police won't find them. Hiding is safe, but boring. When a strange creature offers them the chance to find an ancient artifact on a "rogue moon" that can do "something wondrous," they jump at the opportunity.
Pursued by Core Empire operatives who want to take Bailey back to Earth for execution and the authorities who want to put Jil back in prison, they race across the galaxy looking for clues to the artifact. But the mysteries add up: what does the archaic race of the Agrocrageenans have to do with it, and what does that strange being that appears to have telepathic powers want?
Will Rick and Jil find the rogue moon before the authorities or the Core Empire catches up to them? Is it worth risking their lives for the treasure of the rouge moon?
Treasures of the Rogue Moon is free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. If you want to see if subscribing is right for you, can get a Kindle Unlimited 30-Day Free Trial.

One of my favorite things to do is fall asleep in front of the t.v., so that was last night’s mission. I woke up at 7a.m. and – get this – went right back to sleep. Best vacation ever!
Then I got up and tried to be a little productive. One of the things on the list was to fill in the new hole in the front yard. When the tree trimmers were here Monday, they pulled out the post with the basketball hoop by our driveway that came with the house. We never use it, so it was time to go. The post had a ton of concrete at the base, so removing it made quite a hole.
I went out to fill it in with some of the sod that Brad removed from our yard. And when I say ‘I went out to fill it’, I mean Brad did.
Now it will be harder to tell people where we live. It used to be ‘the last house on the left with the basketball hoop’. Now Santa will never find me.
You’re right. It’s all confusing now. Good luck Santa.
I, on the other hand, distinctly remember using the basketball hoop on a number of occasions (said number being one).
If you know and love Lloyd’s dad, then yes!
lol I thought it looked like Sam. I guess they are all related.
I believe this is the first picture that I have seen on this site where Lloyd is this active.
Did you digitally alter the photo to give yourself a vertical leap????
We physically altered the backboard instead (much easier).
Actually, I’m still looking for one of these. That would be pretty distinctive.

Please click here for the schedule of races that will be live video streamed.
Amsterdam is looking forward to welcoming the best rowers in the world and their fans during the summer of 2014. Amsterdam is the cultural and business centre of the Netherlands, but the city also has an impressive sporting record. Amsterdam hosted the 1928 Olympics as well as recent major sporting events such as the 2010 Giro d' Italia and the final of the 2013 UEFA Cup. The European Athletics Championships will take place in Amsterdam in 2016.
The World Rowing Championships will officially begin on Sunday, 24th of August, 2014. The venue opens for training on Wednesday, August 20, 2014. On training days and racing days, the venue will open at 06h30, 30 minutes before the course opens for training and closes at 20h30, 30 minutes after the course closes.
The Bosbaan is a man-made rowing course, built in the 1930s through a social welfare project.
Queen Wilhelmina officially opened the Bosbaan on June 12, 1937. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was the venue for several European Rowing Championships. The facilities and course were upgraded in the early 1970s to add a spare lane to the six-lane racecourse. Amsterdam hosted the European Rowing Championships in 1964 (the first to include female competitors) and 1967 and the World Rowing Championships in 1977.
Over the following decades, the Bosbaan provided the venue for many national and international regattas, including the Dutch National Championships, the Nations Cup, the Coupe de la Jeunesse, the FISA World University Championships, the 1990 and 1991 FISA World Cups, and the annual international Koninklijke–Hollandbeker Regatta.
In 2001, the city of Amsterdam, together with the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation, broadened, deepened and renovated the regatta course to upgrade the Bosbaan to 21st century standards. The new eight-lane course was completed in 2002, together with an enlarged boathouse, new sanitary facilities and additional facilities along the racecourse.
Amsterdam is situated in the moderate climactic zone of northern continental Europe, with mild summers and cool winters. The spring can be crisp and wet. The summer months between June and September can be alternatively hot and humid or cool and rainy. The most precipitation occurs in October and November. From December to February the weather is often cold, but sunny and dry.

When I was little I thought I wanted to be a teacher for a hot second. That quickly dissipated when I realized my patience is as thin as ice…did you always know you wanted to be a teacher?
Haha! It definitely tries your patience at times. I’ve learned to laugh at the craziness! I didn’t know that I always wanted to be a teacher. My parents probably knew – I always used to make my brother play school in our basement. And I stole colorful chalk from my teacher in first grade… fabulous student. But, I volunteered in high school in my elementary school and just thought I’d give it a go in college. In my first few years at Penn State, I was able to volunteer at a couple local schools and fell in love with it!
What grade do you teach now and how is that different from your fifth graders?
I currently teach ESL (English as a Second Language) to kindergarten through fifth grade students. I taught sixth grade for 1 year and fifth grade for 4 years before this fun change! My sweet, sweet little kinders are a world of difference from my big fifth graders I was used to having! I am so sarcastic, and the older kids get that – one of the reasons I’ve always loved the older grades. But, I’ve learned to love tying shoes and being silly and teaching the teeny ones! ESL is a whole different world, too. Challenging at times, but truly amazing to see how quickly kids learn and pick up language!
So tell us, what are summers off REALLY like?
Everyone always says that I picked the right profession because of the summers! It’s June 15, and I just finished yesterday. I’ll be back for formal inservice days on August 22, and probably the week before to get my classroom all ready. So, that three months quickly becomes two, with a few meetings and book groups and trainings always sprinkled in too! All that being said – it is WONDERFUL! I always feel so recharged and reenergized when I come back in August. It’s exhausting at times, and I’m grateful that I get a few months to let my brain take a break and come up with some fun new things for the next year! I’m also in the middle of grad school right now too, so my two summer classes will keep me busy.
Is it possible to transition to a teacher role post college? What would you need to do to make that transition?
Most definitely! I know quite a few teachers who have made this their second career. It depends on what state you’re in – certifications are different in every state. If I wanted to come teach in New York, I’d have to take more tests in order to be certified, even though I already teach in PA. It’d also depend on if a lot of your college credits would transfer to a teaching degree. There are lots of other ways to work with kids in schools too – I’m learning a whole new world of being a “specialist” this year too! The fun thing about teaching is that you’re never stuck in the same position. There’s always new challenges, new opportunities, and new kiddos every year!
What’s something you wish people knew about your job?
Hmm. Good question. Probably that teachers don’t not work in the summer. Even if we’re vacationing, we probably have a few professional development books in our bag we’ll be reading on the beach.
And – that it is absolutely the most rewarding thing. I work with teachers who work insanely hard all the time. They jump through hoops to do what’s best for kids and are at school until 9 pm if they need to be – because it’s all worth it in the end! It’s hard, exhausting, and frustrating at times, but so, so much fun!
What would you say to bright-eyed college Kenz about your profession?
Your first job doesn’t have to be your forever job. I thought when I landed in fifth grade that I would be there for forever. I worked with a great team and was super happy. I am not a fan of hard things and change. But, an opportunity came up to try out another dream job as an ESL teacher in my same school (YAY for not having to leave my AMAZING school and coworkers!) – and I decided to take it. Change is hard, crazy crazy hard (especially in the middle of a school year!) – but it’s been so worth it!
I solemnly swear I am only up to good things.

So, last weekend Adam and Marcus undertook the Tough Mudder. This is a 10 mile run through woodland and tackling a total of 20 obstacles on route. Supported by Adam's daughter, Ellie, the lads nailed it in the wind, rain and cold. The obstacles including such delights as the HERO WALL, the BLOCK NESS MONSTER and the ARTIC ENEMA to name just a few. These involved the team scaling 12 foot walls, climbing over rolling objects half submerged in cold, muddy water and being dunked into a skip full of ice cubes. However, the course was a tough run, with the majority of the miles being done in testing conditons. There was very little grip, mud everywhere and a very crowded course. That said, it was completed in 2.5 hours and the guys and gal did well to get round in a decent time.

Since the onset of the financial crisis in 2007, Switzerland has seen many cases of organisational governance, risk and compliance failures, such as certain banks turning a blind eye to competition law or client tax law issues, disregarding conflicts of interest or ignoring anti-money laundering compliance, or manufacturers doing business in a manner that distorts the level playing field. These cases have triggered an endless stream of new regulations in Switzerland over the past decade. Many new regulations address integrity, governance, risk or compliance management challenges, directly or indirectly. And, of course, Switzerland, with its small domestic market surrounded by the European Union, must align its legislation with EU rules and international standards that have also become broader and more detailed. As a result of these national and international legal developments, guaranteeing that an organisation meets its compliance obligations has become a challenging task for which responsibility ultimately lies with the board of directors.
Generally, Switzerland’s legislation does not specifically address corporate risk and compliance management in a technical sense. However, many provisions in various Swiss laws require diligent and compliant business management at all levels. The most important statute in this respect is article 716a of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), which lists the non-transferable and inalienable duties of the members of the board of directors of a limited stock company. This provision emphasises the board’s responsibility for compliance with the law throughout the entire company. in addition, article 102 of the Swiss Criminal Code (SCC) requires corporations to take all necessary and reasonable organisational (compliance) measures to prevent criminal conduct by its employees. With regard to certain industries the financial market laws, such as the Swiss Banking Act (BankA), the Swiss Banking Ordinance (BankO) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act, together with their related ordinances, stipulate a range of obligations with regard to risk and compliance management of financial intermediaries. Companies must also abide by competition law - the most important statute in this respect being the Federal Act on Cartels (CartA).
The Swiss government’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) regularly publishes non-binding circulars. For instance, in connection with risk and compliance management measures, FINMA explained corporate governance for banks and insurance companies and how banks should manage liquidity risks. The latter circular clarifies what the Liquidity Ordinance states regarding the minimum qualitative requirements for the way banks handle liquidity risk.
Other legally non-binding recommendations concerning internal controls, risk and compliance management were issued in 2014 by economiesuisse, the Swiss Business Federation, in its policy paper ‘Fundamentals of effective compliance management’. This is the reference document on the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance. The Swiss Code is intended as a list of recommendations based on the ‘comply or explain’ principle for Swiss public limited companies. Non-listed, economically significant companies or organisations (including those with legal forms other than a public limited company) in practice follow the guidance given by the Swiss Code.
In October 2016, the Corporate Responsibility Initiative was handed in to the Federal Chancellery. The initiative, a request for a direct democracy vote by citizens, aims to ensure that companies with registered offices, headquarters or a main place of business in Switzerland, and their boards, are held accountable for any violation of human rights and environmental standards in Switzerland or abroad. The initiative is encountering criticism from multinationals, but ultimately Swiss voters will decide whether it is adopted.
Technological developments have also led to new compliance requirements, for instance for initial coin offerings and the issuing of cryptocurrencies. FINMA has taken a first step and in February 2018 it published a regulatory framework for initial coin offerings.
Compliance and risk management obligations must be fulfilled by all legal entities regardless of their size or business activity. However, larger companies (in terms of revenues, balance sheet and number of employees) are in general subject to stricter statutory compliance and control or audit regulations. The legal entities targeted by statutory risk and compliance obligations are (in order of importance in practice): public limited (stock) companies, private limited companies and foundations (in particular in the area of statutory professional insurance). Listed companies and, in general, companies in the financial sector, are subject to overall stricter risk and compliance management obligations.
The principal regulatory and enforcement bodies for the private sector are FINMA, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), and the Competition Commission (COMCO). For the public sector, the main controlling body is the Federal Audit Office.
FINMA supervises and regulates the financial industry: banks, insurance companies, brokers, etc, though as yet not asset managers. It has extensive powers, which it exercises itself or through independent examiners (accredited law firms, auditors and forensic experts) by supervising, monitoring, auditing, investigating and sanctioning financial intermediaries and senior management. Financial intermediaries are required to self-report all major legal risks to FINMA. FINMA issues ordinances and circulars and regularly publishes decisions and guidance on legal requirements for financial institutions, in particular the standard of professional diligence and best practice risk and compliance management.
The OAG, cantonal prosecutors and criminal courts enforce article 102 SCC, under which a company may be held criminally liable for failing to take all necessary and reasonable organisational (compliance) measures to prevent certain key crimes, such as bribery and money laundering. It is important to bear in mind that under the SCC a company may be fined up to 5 million Swiss francs, and have illicit profits confiscated. The cantonal and federal prosecutors play an increasingly significant role as enforcers of adequate corporate compliance. With its landmark case against Alstom in November 2011, the OAG developed its practice of effectively prosecuting companies that violate article 102 SCC for corruption and money laundering. In the Alstom case, the Swiss subsidiary of Alstom Group (FR) was fined for lack of adequate compliance to avoid bribery of foreign officials and, in addition to a fine of 2.5 million Swiss francs, was obliged to disgorge profits of 36.4 million Swiss francs.
On 1 January 2016, a memorandum of understanding on cooperation between FINMA and the OAG came into force, based on article 38 of the Federal Act on the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMASA). This memorandum highlights the growing importance for Swiss enforcement agencies to exchange information and cooperate to combat corruption. FINMA’s main task is the prudential supervision of institutions it has authorised to engage in financial market activities. The OAG, on the other hand, is the federal agency competent for prosecuting criminal acts with an inter-cantonal or cross-border dimension.
The federal and cantonal prosecutors are responsible for conducting criminal investigations and bringing charges for money laundering. Financial intermediaries and traders that suspect assets stem from a felony or misdemeanour or belong to a criminal organisation must notify the money laundering reporting office which may, in turn, notify the criminal prosecutor, which actually happens in about 70 per cent of cases. The OAG has recently opened a number of criminal investigations against Swiss banks for violating anti-money laundering and anti-bribery statutes.
With regard to COMCO, businesses are sanctioned (under administrative law) if they engage in cartels or illicit vertical restraints, abuse a dominant market position, or ‘gun jump’ to bypass merger control regulations. For example, one of COMCO’s most recent high-profile probes concerned around 20 international banks for fixing the LIBOR, TIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates, with the banks ultimately fined a total of approximately 100 million Swiss francs in December 2016. Other recent COMCO activities include fining one of Switzerland’s largest telecommunications companies, Swisscom, in connection with live sports broadcasting on pay TV, and the prohibition of anticompetitive contract clauses by hotel-booking platforms such as Booking.com, Expedia and HRS.
Risk management and compliance management are not explicitly defined in Swiss legislation. However, international standards are increasingly being accepted as soft law benchmarks for generally accepted best practice. For instance, COMCO, in its public presentations, refers to ISO Standard 19600 - Compliance management systems as one of its benchmarks should a company raise the compliance defence against a sanction.
Swiss legislation does not describe risk and compliance management processes specifically. There are, however, certain provisions that stipulate the precautions to be taken in that regard. For instance, article 728a CO states that the external auditor must examine whether an internal control system exists and must take it into account when determining the scope of the audit and during the audit procedure. Furthermore, the external auditor must ensure that the internal control system includes an adequate risk management system.
Risk and compliance management processes are outlined in non-binding soft-law international standards such as ISO Standard 31000 - Risk management and ISO Standard 19600 - Compliance management systems. Some (mainly larger international) corporations also follow the soft-law COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) enterprise risk management framework or the IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) three lines of defence position paper (which is a basic risk governance concept rather than a soft-law standard).
ISO Standard 31000 provides senior management with a framework for designing and implementing an effective risk management system that fosters risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation (which, taken together, constitute the risk assessment process) and risk treatment. ISO Standard 19600 sets out the compliance responsibilities at all levels of an organisation, together with the procedure for planning, implementing and monitoring, measuring and continually improving a compliance management system with its governance, organisation and processes.
Yes, businesses domiciled or operating in Switzerland are subject to statutory risk and compliance governance obligations. For instance, article 102 SCC (the corporate criminal offence of failing to employ all necessary and reasonable compliance measures to prevent bribery, money laundering, etc) applies to all businesses domiciled in Switzerland as well as to any businesses operating in Switzerland if they have legal or compliance employees located in Switzerland. In both cases, the company is liable for its global business conduct.
Swiss law also sets out the duties that are specific to the board and inalienable. Under article 716a CO, the board’s inalienable duties are the ultimate leadership and oversight of the company, including compliance with applicable laws.
Under article 102 SCC (the corporate criminal offence of failing to prevent), if a felony or a misdemeanour is committed in the company in the exercise of its business and in accordance with its purpose, the felony or misdemeanour is attributed to the company if it is not possible to attribute this act to any specific natural person as a result of inadequate (compliance) organisation by the company. In case of serious felonies (such as bribery), the company is criminally liable irrespective of the liability of any natural person, if the company has failed to take all necessary and reasonable organisational measures required to prevent such an offence.
In the banking sector, articles 3f and 3g BankA and article 12 BankO explicitly require banks to implement an effective internal control system with an independent internal audit function and proper risk management to identify, treat and monitor all material risks.
Article 716a CO lists the non-transferable and inalienable duties of the members of the board of directors, highlighting their responsibility for the overall management, organisation and (global) compliance of the company. On this statutory basis, the external auditors must provide the board of directors with a comprehensive report on the financial statements and the internal control system of the company (article 728b CO).
Under articles 717 and 754 CO, the members of the board of directors and also the members of the executive board are required to manage the company with an increased degree of diligence (members of the board of directors) or with diligence. This standard requires the members of the board of directors or of the executive board to implement effective risk and compliance management systems.
Yes. On an extracontractual basis, third parties are entitled to claim civil damages from companies if the damage has been caused by employees or other auxiliaries who were not diligently selected, instructed and supervised or if the company does not prove that the employer took all necessary precautions to prevent the harmful conduct (article 55 CO). A similar provision exists regarding causal contractual liability (article 101 CO).
One example of administrative consequences for risk and compliance management deficiencies is the sanctions set out in article 49a of the CartA. In case of infringements against the CartA, companies can raise the compliance defence, in other words they can produce evidence that the infringement occurred despite the company’s best practice risk and compliance management. COMCO refers to a number of international standards and best practice guidelines as a benchmark for state-of-the-art compliance management (eg, ISO 19600 and Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and International Chamber of Commerce guidelines). If a company successfully raises the compliance defence, it will not suffer sanctions.
revoking of licences and compulsory liquidation.
In the application of these regulatory enforcement measures, FINMA is guided by the aims of Swiss financial market laws, namely the purposes of protecting creditors and investors, ensuring fair market conduct, and maintaining the good standing and stability of the (Swiss) financial system.
Pursuant to article 102 SCC, businesses face corporate criminal liability for organisational weaknesses (the failure to prevent criminal conduct by employees). Under paragraph 1, if a felony or a misdemeanour is committed by employees in the exercise of the company’s business in accordance with its purpose, the felony or misdemeanour is attributed to the company if it is not possible to attribute the offence to a specific employee as a result of inadequate organisation by the company. In the case of paragraph 1, the business is liable to a fine not exceeding 5 million Swiss francs (see question 4).
In addition, the company can be convicted under paragraph 2 if the offence committed falls under a list of serious criminal offences, such as bribery and money laundering. If a predicate offence is established and if the company failed to employ all necessary and adequate measures to prevent it, it is criminally liable for its organisational failure. Fines can amount to a maximum of 5 million Swiss francs and the company is obliged to disgorge illicit profits.
Under article 754 CO, the members of the board of directors, senior management and all persons engaged in the liquidation of a limited company face civil liability towards the company, the shareholders and creditors for any loss or damage arising from any intentional or negligent breach of their duties of diligence. One of their key statutory responsibilities is to ensure compliance with the law by all employees. It is important to note that it is not only the members of the company’s formal governing bodies (ie, the members of the board of directors and the members of the executive board) that can be held liable, but also factual members of governing bodies who have not been formally appointed, yet exercise significant influence over the company’s management.
Senior members of management only face administrative or regulatory consequences for such breaches in regulated industries, such as the financial industry. Senior members of management at financial institutions regulated by FINMA can face administrative and regulatory consequences should they fail in their duty of diligence. FINMA can take administrative or regulatory measures against managers, such as disqualifying a director, adding a manager to a watchlist and issuing a business conduct letter. FINMA can enter an individual’s information in a database known as the watchlist if the individual’s business conduct is questionable or does not meet the legal requirements. The watchlist is used for assessing relevant information for compliance prerequisites, namely personal details; excerpts from commercial, debt enforcement and bankruptcy registers; criminal, civil and administrative court decisions; and reports by auditors and third-parties appointed by FINMA. Furthermore, under specific circumstances, FINMA can send a business conduct letter to those registered in the watchlist. A business conduct letter does not qualify as a decision; it merely states that FINMA reserves the right to review compliance with the diligence requirements should the manager change position. In the event of a disqualification, FINMA may ban individual directors responsible for serious violations of supervisory law from acting in a senior function at a supervised institution for up to five years.
Individuals are criminally liable if they fail to implement effective risk and compliance management and turn a blind eye to mismanagement (article 158 SCC), embezzlement (article 138 SCC), money laundering (article 305-bis SCC) or bribery (article 322-ter et seq SCC), and so on. Failure to prevent serious criminal offences, such as bribery, is a corporate crime (see questions 9 and 13).
Under article 102(2) SCC, a company is criminally liable for certain felonies committed by its employees if it has not implemented the necessary and adequate (compliance) measures to prevent them. The burden of proof for the inadequacy of the compliance measures rests with the prosecutor or court. Nevertheless, the defendant company will want to establish that it has implemented all necessary and adequate compliance measures. To do this, the company will need to submit evidence regarding its compliance policy, its good compliance governance, the overall compliance management system, the procedures involved in the compliance management system, the measurement of the system’s effectiveness, regular reporting to senior management, and continual improvement.
In competition law cases, COMCO, when determining a sanction, also takes the company’s (competition) compliance management into account. The burden of proof rests with the company.
In August 2015, the OAG opened criminal proceedings against two former officials at 1MDB and against unknown persons based on the suspicion of bribing foreign public officials (article 322-septies SCC), misconduct in public office (article 314 SCC), money laundering (article 305-bis SCC) and criminal mismanagement (article 158 SCC). In April 2016, the investigation was extended to two former officials who had been in charge of Abu Dhabi sovereign funds. They are suspected of fraud (article 146 SCC), criminal mismanagement (article 158 SCC), misconduct in public office (article 314 SCC), document forgery (article 251 SCC), bribery of foreign public officials (article 322-septies SCC) and money laundering (article 305-bis SCC).
Further to the substantial number of Petrobras/Lava Jato-related investigations, the OAG convicted Brazilian company Odebrecht SA and its subsidiary Braskem in December 2016 for organisational failure to prevent the bribery of foreign officials and money laundering under article 102(2) SCC. The OAG stated that Odebrecht SA had created slush funds throughout the world to pay bribes to government officials, representatives and political parties in a bid to obtain business and projects from state-owned companies. As a result, Odebrecht SA was fined 4.5 million Swiss francs and was obliged to disgorge profits of more than 200 million Swiss francs. A number of banks have been affected by the Petrobras/Lava Jato investigations and filed suspicious-activity reports. This led to follow-up investigations in 2017 against individuals, such as a banker in Brazil.
The year 2017 saw the first settlement in a case of self-reporting to the OAG of suspected failure to prevent bribery of foreign officials. The reporting company was fined a symbolic amount of one Swiss franc in consideration of its timely self-reporting, full cooperation in the investigation and its substantial remediation. The OAG also set a compensatory claim of 35 million Swiss francs (disgorgement of illicit profits). The investigation took 13 months and illustrates the benefits of self-reporting.
Another notable example is the first conviction in the World Football’s governing body, FIFA investigation, in which a former Swiss banker was convicted of failing to file mandatory money-laundering reports, and the opening of a new FIFA-related bribery investigation against the former secretary-general of FIFA and the CEO of a media group in connection with the granting of World Cup media rights for events up to 2030.
Other key cases are the ongoing investigation of a pharmaceuticals company for alleged bribery in Greece, investigations into a major Swiss bank for its alleged involvement in a Venezuelan bribery scandal and its recruitment practices in Asia, and in October 2017 FINMA opened an investigation into the Raiffeisen Group and its former CEO for suspected corporate governance and conflict of interest issues.
When it comes to corporate criminal liability, the SCC does not differentiate between private and public companies. Within the meaning of article 102(4) SCC, the German term Unternehmen includes entities under both private and public law. Swiss state-owned companies such as cantonal banks, hospitals, telecommunications providers, energy suppliers, railways, defence companies, certain insurance companies, airports, etc, must employ best practice risk and compliance management to meet their compliance obligations and avoid criminal liability in the event of employee misconduct.
The government and all government agencies are obliged to conduct themselves in accordance with the statutes under which they are established and governed. These statutes all require the government and government bodies to meet their compliance obligations.
The principle that all organisations must meet their compliance obligations is the same in both the private and public sector. All organisations must introduce and maintain best practice (legal) risk management systems and compliance management systems. The main difference between private sector and public sector obligations is the overall purpose, which for public sector organisations covers the smooth running of government and the maintenance of citizens’ trust, and for private sector companies covers such items as the protection of employees, shareholders and creditors.
Corporate Switzerland is facing a series of crises owing to increasing regulation and tighter controls by the authorities. A number of first-tier companies and public entities have recently been confronted with governance and compliance failures. By way of example, in February 2018, the public transport subsidiary of Swiss Post (PostAuto Schweiz AG) was accused of accounts and records violations from 2007 to 2015, with the intention of illegally obtaining at least 90 million Swiss francs in public subsidies for the operation of its regional transportation services.
The major investigative trend is that Swiss and foreign companies in all sectors are now more often targeted by criminal investigations on the basis of suspected organisational failure to prevent bribery and money laundering. In addition, employees at all levels who have either actively committed or passively turned a blind eye to fraud, mismanagement, corruption and money laundering are now systematically investigated. International cooperation has also been stepped up in 2017, notably with Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States.

On a second thought this maybe should be in the Silver section, I leave it to the admins to move it if they think so.
I did consider a similar thread although ancient coins as apposed to just Roman.
There are periods in history I'd let to get a coin from.
Be it Viking invasion or biblical times (a Roman Augustus coin for example).
Sounds good, just thought that all these may be too many for one topic and decided to make it more targeted. There can certainly be more of course and if there is enough material we can ask a new section from the moderators. ?
How about an Ancient coins thread? Anything over 300 years old say.
All these are great ideas and we could ask for a separate thread, if there is enough material.
300 is not so old to call "ancient" I believe, we are talking from 18th century here. Something like up to 1500 AD would seem more appropriate. But this is a matter for discussion of course.
I will be sending some of these coins for grading in the near future, let's see what happens. ?
I would say 'ancient' would be the 'dark ages' and before, maybe even only from before.
What kind of prices have you been paying for those coins? I might try and pick a couple up in various states.
Since I am quite new in this, I have decided to stay between 50-100 € total price for such coins. And I want them to be in a descent state as well.
I also try to buy only from big dealers or sellers with very good feedback.
300 is not so old to call "ancient"
I agree. The reason I suggested 300 years is because of The Treasure Act of 1996. Coins over 300 years old and containing more than 10% gold or silver are deemed treasure and property of the crown if found. But yes, the timeline and title would be up for discussion, it was just a suggestion.
Had me looking at some many coins recently. Although more at the greek coins, Alexander the great. Maybe a little bit pricier coins are from 200'ish BC and silver. Any idea what NGC would charge to authenticate put in a slab etc?
Not sure i'd do it for value added, more of display and piece of mind if i pull the trigger on one of the many coins i'm looking at (for more than a price of a sov!).
Good choice but research carefully first, as I see that prices can vary a lot. Especially silver tetradrachms are impressive coins and prices can skyrocket. You don't need to go for a difficult or high collectible coin, rather choose a good specimen in the low end of prices, to start with. I have decided not to go for more expensive ones, until I acquire more knowledge.
I believe I will be sending my first bunch to Numistacker in the next submission, so you will see some in the video. My focus area is Byzantine and Late Roman (after 330 AD) silver coins.
Yeah I've seen vary from £80 to over 1000 for these coins on fleabay. Some of the American dealers seem to be alot cheaper than the UK even after you factor in postage and import taxes. Some are even already ngc certified. If you're paying £100 for this that makes the price from the is even more tempting.
I'd just hope that alot of good feedback and ngc being real I'd get a good deal.
I've been looking at a couple of imperial Roman coins which are in the BC age wise. Will have another look tonight.
Finger must have slipped (multiple times) just ordered myself this little beauty.
What is the type, leader etc?
It's a severus Alexander denarius, didn't say the year but I believe it's around AD231-235.
The other side is also pretty good but that side is really good.
Picked up the coin the from post office this morning. It's around the size of a half sovereign. Might add it to numistackers next batch of submissions. Will try and get some more pics later... Scale with the 10ounce Queens beasts might be funny.
My next submission will also have probably four ancient silver coins. ?
Sent six coins to Numistacker yesterday, hope we'll see a video soon! ?

In Viktor Jakovleski’s new documentary, Brimstone & Glory, a young boy named Santi is nearly blinded by shrapnel from handmade fireworks. “Gunpowder is in your blood,” he’s told, though Santi is terrified when the kaleidoscopic lights and puncturing sounds get too close for comfort.
Just his luck, then, to be a citizen of Tultepec, Mexico, where a dangerous pyrotechnics festival draws thousands of people every year. Santi is our anchor in Jakovleski’s mercifully short feature (his astoundingly fulfilled directorial debut), and through his concern, we learn early that the title is wrought with a dark irony. For while the spectacle of dozens of fireworks being assembled, moved, and ignited is wondrous to behold, such glory comes with a price. To have gunpowder in your blood is to have a death sentence over your head before you are born.
As Santi and his family, including his bereft mother and firework-making father, prepare for the festival, Jakovleski and his crew – including the gifted cinematographer Tobias von dem Borne and several camera operators – glide behind with a panting eagerness. Artisans flock to Tultepec for the event, and von dem Borne captures their anticipation, the camera borne upon the twin trails of danger and pleasure they leave in their wakes.
Some of these artists stand out long after the cameras stop rolling. Artsumex, the “pyrotechnic-bull parade crew,” creates a giant neon creature for the “pamplonada”, a running of (artificial) bulls to honor the saints. Their massive project inspires local kids to help push the machine – a multimedia sculpture requiring electronics, papier-mâché, and of course, fireworks – despite the possibility of its bursting into flames. Should that happen, it would be a disgrace to San Juan de Dios, the patron saint of fireworks.
It is only when the filmmakers take their cameras inside the bulls (a major honor to which Santi balks out of fear) that the reality of extraordinary labor comes into view. I was first amused, and then enthralled, by the attention paid to the Tultepec workers whose lives are threatened in the making of this festival.
From firefighters to paramedics to government officials, tourists and artists and their elderly relatives, no element of the local culture is untouched by the week-long festivities, for better or worse. Even innocent bystanders, as we see in a disturbingly graphic moment, have their fates altered.
These comparisons, I suspect, are due more to a desperate human need to classify – or, perhaps, to sell the unsellable – than to real resemblances between the films. While Jakovleski’s and editor Affonso Gonçalves’s willingness to abandon standard narratives does put them in a shared lineage with Godfrey Reggio and Blank, their work together is an altogether different cinema that entwines several supposedly non-commercial genres: light art, avant-garde cinema, vérité.
Consider the most entrancing images in the film: GoPro footage of amateur construction workers climbing giant wooden towers without safety gear; a boy running sparklers through black alleys; slow-motion shots of exploding fireworks (Jakovleski shot the high-speed photography) whose purpose is simply to be beautiful. There is nothing wrong with that priority, though it is most often the domain of a fresh and stubborn filmmaker; in fact, had I seen the film with no supplementary information, however, I might have deemed it insurmountable for many theatrical audiences.
But I am a critic, not a distributor or a marketing specialist, and I am happy in this case to be proven wrong. After a highly successful festival run, Oscilloscope Laboratories has placed the film in rolling screenings around the country. This is lucky: Brimstone & Glory begs to be seen in a theater.
Among other accomplishments, Tobias von dem Borne’s digital cinematography is resoundingly beautiful, every frame sparkling with man-made asteroids and metallurgical heat. The energy of his camera is carried from moment to moment by the jones of Dan Romer (an acquaintance of mine) and Benh Zeitlin’s score. The pulsing, percussive rhythms of the soundtrack adjust your heartbeat to fit their pace.
How closely the composers worked with Gonçalves is a mystery, but such impeccable harmony between craftsmen is usually reserved for collaborators at the highest levels of production: John Williams with Steven Spielberg, or Hans Zimmer with Christopher Nolan and Lee Smith.
Romer’s and Zeitlin’s work here recovers the creative brilliance of their previous scores for Mediterranea and the big kahuna of recent American independent cinema, Beasts of the Southern Wild. Not coincidentally, both projects also share producers from Court 13 and the Department of Motion Pictures with this film.
Already having a banner year with their Sundance success, Patti Cake$, Court 13 here reinforces its reputation as one of the most adventurous and open-minded working collectives in the country.
So substantial is their track record that I have heard whispers of increasing passion advocating for this documentary to be nominated for the Academy Award for nonfiction features in 2018.
Allow me to join the chorus.
Brimstone & Glory opens Nov. 22 in New York.

On-Trend: Custom Color Cabinetry Adds Drama and Personality in Two Kitchens - Harry Braswell, Inc.
While a white kitchen is always a classic, custom color cabinetry makes a bold, beautiful statement. Two recent Alexandria renovations – the first a Rosemont Craftsman and the second a Beverley Hills Colonial – employed deep green and blue to add drama and character to their kitchens.
Our client had a clear vision for this Rosemont kitchen. From the custom deep green and clean lines of the cabinets to the white open shelving and vintage-inspired brass sconces, the kitchen design is both on-trend and classic. Light colors, including the marble-look quartz countertop, handmade crackle backsplash tile, and a simple white hood help balance the depth and weight of the green cabinetry. A microwave and two dishwashers are convenient and hidden. A flush-installed Wolf six-burner cooktop is inconspicuous.
Natural and handmade elements such as the oiled walnut island countertop and vintage wool rugs create a sense of warmth and age in this kitchen. Double ovens, separate paneled refrigerator and freezer columns, and pantry surround a prep sink area. Additional floating shelves and brass sconces showcase the homeowners’ glass and tableware.
In this Beverley Hills Colonial, the beautiful rich navy blue of the base and island cabinetry adds depth while the white upper cabinetry maintains the light open feel of this spacious rear addition. Exposed brick on a former exterior wall (not shown), light fixtures with exposed Edison bulbs, and the stainless steel appliances give the room a subtle industrial look that pairs well with the homeowners’ rustic dining table.
Engineered stone countertops have a clean, bright marble-like look without the fragility and maintenance of natural stone. The sleek lines of the brass faucet and hardware provide a modern compliment to the home’s traditional architecture. Glass-front, interior-lit cabinetry displays china and glassware.
Thinking about a kitchen renovation? Talk to our in-house designers about all the latest trends.

Y’all, Karen Rose is one of the authors I admire most. I have read and loved every single one of her books. Sometimes authors, even the best ones, have off days. One or two of their books just don’t quite live up to the rest. Well, Karen Rose doesn’t have that problem. Ever. No One Left to Tell is book #13 and she is going strong.
No One Left to Tell might actually rank up there with my favorites of her books. Paige Holden and Grayson Smith are awesome characters, and the plot was intricately weaved and detailed. My favorite thing about Karen Rose is that her characterization and plotting are always both masterfully done – she doesn’t sacrifice one for the other.
The way the story was told actually reminded me of a season of 24, one of my all-time favorite TV shows. When things start, Paige Holden is on the scene of a shooting – and surprise, the victim is someone she knows. We meet the sniper, who has a guilty conscience. Elsewhere, there is a guy behind the scenes pulling strings to make sure key people die so certain truths won’t be brought to light. Then, we go to the suburbs and meet a random couple, one of whom has a secret. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? How does it connect? What is going on already?
Seriously, I know all of my reviews for her books turn into fangirl ramblings, but I can’t help it! This woman continually blows my mind, and No One Left to Tell is certainly no exception to the norm. If you like romantic suspense and/or mysteries and/or contemporary romance – you should definitely listen to me!
Whether you want to start at the beginning with Karen Rose’s first book, Don’t Tell, or pick up her most recent release doesn’t matter – just don’t let this author’s work pass you by!
This is a an author/series that I need to check out especially with the more mystery/thriller/suspense kick I have been on lately!
Felicia recently posted..Blogger Confession: Ranting about EBooks and the Market again..
Okay. No off days? The fact that you have never lead me wrong? Oh my library is going to hate me for all the Karen Rose holds I am about to place.

It is important that educational leaders make sense of what a job-hopping career and extended life spans actually substantiate, how T-12 schooling dovetails within lifelong learning and how eLearning can embrace a life of self-transformation. If a career can be seen as ‘a portfolio of projects that teach you new skills, gain you new expertise, develop new capabilities, grow your colleague set, and constantly reinvent you as a brand’ (Peters 99U) what are the new learning behaviours schools need to prioritise? What fundamental changes are required for Distance Education and online learning to embrace a service that provisions learning-how-to-learn and continuous self-transformation? Considering that a large proportion of our teacher workforce are one-job-for-life workers we are have a systemic mindset issue. The provision of lifelong learning principles professional enhancement is required.
It is important to note the scale and trends of professional learning and training occurring in industry. The role of training and eLearning within globally advancing nations is exponentially growing. TrainingIndustry.com estimated global training in 2013 at approximately $306.9bn. Australia’s approximate expenditure was $9.2bn (Harward 2014). IBIS capital states that training will increasingly become ‘peer-to-peer” and “freely available”, “increasingly personalised with e-Learning harnessing big data analytics”, ‘mobile’ through ‘tablet penetration’, ‘classrooms will become the arena for face-to-face tutoring of individual requirements and open discussion’, as e-Learning becomes ‘part of the fabric of virtually every business’. Learning will become a natural continuum originating in school and proceeding throughout working life (IBIS Capital).

A) Practical data – the finance domain as such is big and has immense potential for the proper candidate to grow. On the lookout for least expensive price tag and get with Business Checks Coupon Code Checks Unlimited ! In low price, you may be capable of complete a price comparability using this sort of purchasing website checklist in order that you will be taught and buy the Checks Ullimited ! We produce personal bank checks , handle labels , contact cards and checkbook covers featuring many stunning, nature-inspired designs for a lot less than banks charge. For many small businesses, Quickbooks is the enabler that lets you really mess things up. In my view, anyone who does not know the difference between an asset and an expense, or a debit and a credit mustn’t use Quickbooks. Laptop printed checks look very professional and having the computer print verify can save time. Many business do not use a computer to keep observe of inventory; they simply take a list annually. Business checking accounts require a minimum of $2500 to earn the advertised APY.
I agree that if you don’t have inventory and you’re just a service kind business Quicken could be easier than Quick Books. With overdraft transfer service in place, PSECU routinely transfers the funds needed to cover a verify from your Business Regular Shares. As a substitute of returning canceled checks with the statement, copies of the checks are available upon request. View checks online – Online verify imaging lets you access copies of your canceled checks from your own home laptop. Statements – Your monthly statement details all your checking transactions, along along with your other business shares and loans. Convenient verify ordering – checking solutions specifically catered to fit your business.
Please Observe: PSECU does not furnish checks or process verify reorders for business accounts. Diversified’s ACHeck21 product suite will provide Visioneer’s current and future prospects a expertise that photographs checks and converts them to electronic transactions.
It supplies a fast, efficient, and convenient approach to convert obtained checks into electronic transactions by way of the usage of a Visioneer or Xerox DocuMate scanner and Visioneer OneTouch software. ACHeck21 software is designed for any person, organization or business to rapidly and accurately make electronic deposits from paper checks and incorporate that information into most accounting techniques, including Intuit Quickbooks®. The expertise is extremely versatile; allowing prospects to easily scan checks, make deposits, update accounts receivable techniques, manage returns and archive checks and information. Now that checks are being digitized” there are so many potentialities available in the market not the least of which is information mining.
Many firms and non earnings that take checks at present are keying in the verify writer data to be able to preserve their information base of shoppers” or donors”. By electronically capturing the data on the checks they receive a business or non profit can’t only create an information base to service their prospects but demographic information may be mined. So it behooves anyone handling checks to have a approach to secure non public data whether in electronic kind or physical kind.
Starting a seasonal small business is a flexible approach to earn more money if you need it. You possibly can run a business a number of months of the 12 months and take the rest of the 12 months off to to loosen up or pursue other career targets or opportunities, or you possibly can combine several seasonal business opportunities to provide steady earnings throughout the year. To do otherwise could expose a business to threat of status, litigation and loss of business. Its simple – in case you have a powerful IT department, have experience processing checks electronically, don’t count on the market to move sooner than you possibly can anticipate and have accurate costs analysis – choose the cheaper resolution. In response to a question I asked about Is this (RDC) a business resolution or a banking resolution?” the panel accurately pointed out that historically RDC grew out of Verify 21 which was supposed as a banking resolution. Add to this the fact that even essentially the most sturdy bank sponsored RDC seems to be bank centered with little in the way in which of business solutions.
Software like ACHeck21 not only saves trips to the bank and gets the obtainable funds into a business account as fast (or sooner) than a banks RDC resolution nevertheless it also supplies business solutions that create value for a business. For example ACHeck21 presents a secure gateway that manages a complete host of companies and it updates bookkeeping techniques including Quickbooks, Archives photographs of checks (and stubs) and verifies checks. From the Gateway a business can see and characterize returns or process an echeck or upload ACH recordsdata. When a business makes money they are keen to share – which means we all generate income! It seems the trade of processing paper checks and paper normally is going by way of big technological adjustments.
While on the sidelines my company Diversified Verify Solutions has been working with on line mail delivery, information mining of client data from their checks, BOC verification, verify recovery expertise, electronic checks and more. There are early case studies on the benefits of converting checks to electronic transactions.
In reality, as we automate and electronify” the issuance of checks and acceptance of checks the question I have is: Will checks start to compete with Credit Cards??” I don’t know the answer but can provide some attention-grabbing thoughts. Businesses notice efficiencies as a result of the purchase runs smoother and sooner with plastic compared to cash or checks plus they are guaranteed fee if they observe the foundations. The issuance of checks electronically is the missing ingredient and the networks to make electronic issuance of checks feasible.

I have gone on strike in opposition to banks After working a small business for over 14 years, getting gouged right and left for service expenses, late expenses, and expenses just to be expenses, I have gotten sick and bored with my hard earned dollars go down some wasteful bin at my local bank.
Bear in mind, if it is linked to a checking account, you also have the debit characteristic although there isn’t any VISA or Master Card brand on it. This means, you need to use ATM machines to get cash and you should buy anything you want electronically as long as the place you might be at accepts DEBIT cards.
They do all the above; enable for cash at ATM machines, permit you to purchase as debit, but in addition they permit you to use the ability of credit (Visa or MasterCard, American Specific, Discover, Chase Sapphire) to make purchases wherever that Visa or MasterCard is accepted…which we all know, which means IN ALL PLACES including all internet or online purchases.
This is unhealthy for you but good for them…even when you suppose a verify would possibly clear tonight and you go to the bank and put cash in, the cash is in your obtainable steadiness instantly and can be used for withdrawal or by utilizing your debit/verify card, nevertheless it is not going to pay a verify at midnight for the reason that cash is technically being deposited on the following business day.

Summary: A victimized high school girl uses her telekinetic powers to get revenge on her tormentors.
Review: Carrie begins with its protagonist cowering in the shower of the girls’ locker room, naked and afraid, having just gotten her first period. It’s a deeply uncomfortable image, one that’s heightened by the shrill laughter of Carrie’s peers. Things aren’t much better at home; she’s constantly abused and scolded by her religious nutjob of a mother, whose twisted parenting has left her socially inept. When well-meaning classmate Sue asks her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom, she has no idea about the cruel prank that queen bee Chris has planned. And no one, save for her mother, knows about Carrie’s long-hidden telekinetic powers.
Though Carrie’s supernatural aspects are ostensibly the reason for its horror status, equally disturbing is its depiction of the all-too-real living hell that high school can be. The scenes of Carrie’s endless abuse at the hands Chris and her friends are as brutal as they are believable, and perfectly capture the kind of vicious bullying unique to teenage girls.
Like Session 9 and May, Carrie is a movie whose first two thirds exist to build to its climax, and the famous prom scene does not disappoint. Even though its conclusion is now common knowledge, Brian De Palma does an excellent job of lulling the audience into a false sense of security, and the moments before that famous spill are expertly, excruciatingly drawn out. And though Carrie’s rampage is terrifying to watch, there’s no denying the savage catharsis that comes from seeing her get her long-awaited revenge.
The Verdict: Anchored by Sissy Spacek’s masterful performance, Carrie is still scary after all these years. I give it eight-and-a-half premeditatedly pranked prom princesses out of ten.
That’s a wrap on the Fast and Fentress October Fright Fest – hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Stay tuned for the upcoming Fright Fest Awards.

"No one ever sees a flower, really; It is so small it takes time. We haven't time, and to see takes time, like to have friend takes time."
"...I do what I do because I witness people have visceral reactions when they see/feel the garments.
"It seems to awaken something inside of them, something that needs awakening. I am happy to be a sort of conduit in the process of bringing Mother Nature into their lives, re-igniting that connection..."
I think Sara Griego's lovely and divinely unique fine silk scarf is a very wearable antidote to missing out on the rich bounty of Nature's beauty that is right in front of us because of the increasing number of manufactured distractions in today's world.
We love — and so agree with — Sara's commitment to making her scarves a very wearable and beautiful way to reconnect people with Nature.
Season to season, she forages the land in her breathtaking "backyard" along the Rio Grande River in the mountains of Northern New Mexico for Mother Nature's multi-shaped, many-hued "jewels". She then curates and crafts the flora she finds into a piece of art that makes it impossible to ignore Nature's work.
The scarf was born as a contemporary application of plant dyeing. In that process, raw plant materials are bundled together with natural fibers (e.g. fine silk, virgin wool) wrapped tightly around iron rods, steamed to extract their pigment and tannin and to capture a defined print.
All color, pattern and texture are created from the plants themselves, and chemical dyes are never used. Each print is an expression of Mother Nature, Nothing more, nothing less.
Plants for the scarves are harvested throughout the seasons, mainly from artist Sara's orchard along the Rio Grande River where flora is in abundance, and high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains nearby.
In every piece she creates, there is a memory attached: An Autumn walk with her son; a Spring trek in the high mountains; A bring Summer day; or a forgotten leaf beneath an early Winter frost. As such, each creation is like a Mother Nature diary that Sara is ever grateful to craft by hand to share with others.
Just like in Nature, no two pieces are the same, as the color can only be extracted once from each plant. The result is a stunning, truly one-of-a-kind, Nature-made wearable work of art — one that you and others will slow down and take the time to see.
See more of Sara's scarves here and here.
Care: Please hand wash items in cold water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. As needed, you can use a iron set to a Warm or Silk setting.
Sara Griego is an artist, massage therapist and mother. She grew up outside of Taos, New Mexico, and spent her early adult years living in Hawaii.
Longing for New Mexico's unique landscape, Sara returned to New Mexico where she lives on a river-front orchard property that has been in her husband's family since the 1700's. It is here that she creates her pieces, and searches for perfect leaves with her son Joaquin.
"I grew up in the high mountains of northern New Mexico. My world was filled with nature, my senses loaded with clean air, flora and fauna.
During my life's journey I have lived in many places, but the one thing that always helps me feel grounded and nurtured is nature. Without it, I simply do not thrive.
It is my belief that we all need this connection to our natural world, and that it is becoming ever more difficult to access it. As such, I spend my days creating pieces that can help reconnect others.
I do what I do because I witness people have visceral reactions when they see/feel the garments.
It seems to awaken something inside of them, something that needs awakening. I am happy to be a sort of conduit in the process of bringing Mother Nature into their lives, re-igniting that connection.
I see eyes become brighter, cheeks become pinker, a person feel BETTER, simply from wrapping themselves in this art.

Death is grievous but it is not the end for the believer in Christ who dies or for the believer left in loss. To know that we will see our loved ones again, to know that death is not permanent, and to know that our own Lord conquered death through His own resurrection, is to grieve with a sense that death is not the end.
Let’s pray today that all who grieve from loss will look to Jesus and know that death is not the end.

A Blocked Drain in Mitchelton? No Problem!
We’ve all heard those stories of plumbing go wrong at the worst possible time, a water heater that decided to stop working in the dead of winter, or a toilet that got a blocked drain just before hosting a massive dinner. But have you ever stopped to think about who in Mitchelton you would call if you had a blocked drain?
Welcome to Ledge Plumbing, with technicians all over Brisbane (we could be in Mitchelton right now), we’re the go-to experts for your plumbing needs. We specialise in everything from blocked drains, burst pipes, and hot water repairs, to any general & emergency plumbing needs.
Our experienced staff have the skills to get your plumbing issues fixed in no time! With an unmatched attention to detail and great after service support, we know how to make our customers happy!
When you trust your emergency plumbing needs to Ledge Plumbing, you’re choosing value, professionalism, expertise, and unbeatable convenience. Rain or shine, night or day, we’re always available to handle all of your toughest blocked drains in Mitchelton. Plus, we stand behind the work we do in every possible way. We don’t rest until we’re positive you’re happy with the job we’ve done.
Blocked drains can happen for any number of reasons. They can occur as the result of either a gradual or sudden build-up of sediment, molds, and solids. Some blocked drains become compromised in the first place because of overgrown root systems and dead animals. Whatever the case may be for the blocked drain in your Mitchelton home, you’ll need an experienced plumber in your corner to help put it to rights.
Only trust your drains to experienced plumbers that rely on proven, trusted methods for clearing even the most stubborn blockages. These methods should include use of a professional drain machine (also known as an electric eel or snake). Drain machines are capable of making short work of notoriously tough obstructions – such as tree roots – in record time. When necessary, camera equipment should also be available to help identify and locate especially elusive issues in your Mitchelton home.
For best results, consider having your drainage system in Mitchelton evaluated and serviced every six months to avoid future blockages. Then you’ll never have to worry that your toilet, shower, or kitchen sink will simply stop working at the worst possible time.
The thing is not all plumbers in Brisbane are created equally. There are actually plumbers that are banking on the hope that you won’t take the time to do your homework before hiring them (there aren’t a lot of them, but they’re around). You can make sure it doesn’t happen to you or anyone you love when you know what to look for before committing yourself to hiring a plumber in Mitchelton!

It was not easy for me to sign this consent, especially because I did not feel to be in a 'critical' condition that would require a surgery. I openly asked my wife and my daugters what was their opinion. They were in a unison consent - "go for it".
If you are a member of this "Myxoma Group", you can read the full text of the consent I signed. It was a standard form with a description of specific procedures.

On behalf of Bryant & Higby, Chtd. posted in Personal Injury on Monday, April 30, 2018.
A crash involving multiple vehicles is likely to result in the severe injury or death of at least one of the individuals involved. Florida residents may recall one such accident that occurred last week on the morning of April 26. The crash involved 17 different vehicles, and many people suffered personal injury because of the accident.
On behalf of Bryant & Higby, Chtd. posted in Medical Malpractice on Monday, April 23, 2018.
The death of a family member is often a difficult thing for people to come to terms with. Some people, as some Florida residents may know, never fully recover from that loss, especially if they believe that their loved one's death could have been prevented. One woman has filed a complaint, claiming that medical malpractice and negligence ultimately caused the death of a male patient in January of last year.

People across the country are constantly distracted by their cellphones in some way, whether it be by a text, social media or a simple phone call. While this constant level of distraction is not normally a problem, other than being slightly frustrating, this can quickly change if the distracted individual is behind the wheel of a car. In Florida, a young man suffered a personal injury after being hit by a driver who was distracted by his cellphone.
On behalf of Bryant & Higby, Chtd. posted in Drunk Driving on Tuesday, April 10, 2018.
Alcohol affects people in a variety of different ways. Some become overly reckless and careless, while others attempt to be overly cautious. However, actions that an impaired individual believes to be cautious or safe might actually be just as dangerous as more typically reckless behaviors. A mother in Florida was accused of drunk driving after police stopped her on a busy roadway.
On behalf of Bryant & Higby, Chtd. posted in blog on Wednesday, April 4, 2018.
When a driver consumes something that affects his or her ability to safely operate a vehicle, it can have devastating consequences. The decision to get behind the wheel after taking drugs or alcohol is both irresponsible and completely preventable, yet it is still a significant problem on Florida roads.

In part I we talked about the benefits of food therapy so now we will discuss how to incorporate these principles into your daily routine.
Variety is the key to balanced diet.
A good base diet consists of 30% grain/starch, 40% protein and 30 % veggies plus supplements like sardines, hard boiled egg, flax based supplements, herbs and spices. You can pick and choose a neutral, warm or cool diet from the chart below.
Suggestions for a dog with a Qi and Yang deficiency during the winter months would be 30% brown rice, oats and/or sweet potato, 30% chicken, beef, beef liver, venison and/or lamb and 30 % dark green leafy veggies like chopped spinach, kale and kelp. Other veggies you might try are green beans, carrots and green and yellow squash.
For a dog with a Blood deficiency (dry flaky skin, itching and general weakness and malaise) choose a neutral diet of ground beef and kidney beans with carrots and peas but add in foods that Tonify the Blood like liver. Sardines and hard boiled eggs also Tonify the blood and are high in omega 3 fatty acids.
For a dog with a Kidney Qi deficiency choose a base diet like sweet potato, turkey, spinach and kale and add in foods that will help the kidney like lamb's kidney, kelp, kidney beans and black sesame seeds.
As a general rule I add turmeric paste (see recipe below), fresh ginger, salt and local honey to each meal and then top it with a splash of apple cider vinegar and either a sardine or hard boiled egg.
Then at each feeding I add some turmeric paste, a splash of apple cider vinegar, any herbs or supplements they may taking and either a half a sardine or half a hard boiled egg with the shell. Big dogs can have a whole sardine or whole egg. I add a little warm water to dissolve the turmeric paste, give it a stir and it's ready to eat.
As with any food change start very slowly and discuss it with your veterinarian first. If your dog has been on kibble his whole life, changing to home cooked food can be very hard on his stomach. Start with a few bites of home cooked food on his regular food and slowly incorporate more over a month's time. Some dogs love their kibble or 100% home cooking is not an option and that is ok. You can just top your dog's food with some home cooked food and he will still get the benefits of fresh food and omega 3 fatty acids.

"What is Required: The Price and the Promise of Citizenship"
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential Oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the Oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers [sic], and true to our founding documents.
1 A deviation from the orthodox syntactical order "...faithfully execute the office....", prompted by Justice Roberts, and, with some hesitation -- and additional awkward fumbling by Justice Roberts -- followed by President-elect Obama.
2 Paul the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 13:11: "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Do you now what has been making me happy, since my first post? I already knew how the last post would be called and what about it would be, it was kind of obvious, though.
So today was my last day not only at A2.1 course but in Deutsch Akademie too. For the last two months I have accustomed and attached to this place. Because it has it’s own atmosphere of friendliness and amiability. To be honest it was a little sad to leave this walls and people I met. But good things always have its ending.
I would really like to mention how good is Nina (our Teacher) at teaching and making the most effective atmosphere of language learning. It is a great pleasure to have so open, with good sense of humor and charisma teacher. I learned a lot during my two month education, and this is her merit.
My next aim is to reach the required German knowledge to star my Bachelor’s degree in University. But this is yet to come. And Now I’m going to start my deserved summer rest.
So Goodbye, Blog readers and have a nice summer!

Is it really need to leave your country to get a bachelor’s degree or even a master’s? You say “Higher education abroad is prestigious.” But what actually is prestigious?
If you think about this question, then their own pros and cons are beginning to take shape.
European Diploma is an European Diploma.
This one is recognized in more countries than domestic, and there’s no need to translate the number of read hours ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), less worries and concerns.
And in my subjective opinion, if the employer (not from CIS) have to choose for a vacant position between two candidates: with Kazakhstan diploma or with an European Diploma, the choice will be made in favor of the latter.
While studying abroad, we are investing in the ‘real’ education. By this we believe that for the money we get knowledge ( sometimes for really few money and even for free).
However, where are the pros there are and cons.
Not all are thinking about this one while planning to study abroad. Socialization – one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of foreign students. Experience shows that most citizens of the CIS after arriving in a new country immediately starting to look for an opportunity to find their compatriots to communicate in a familiar language and in the familiar environment. This one,of course, isn’t forbidden, but think about it, you made this long way to another country to continue to communicate with your compatriots? This might have done at home too.
Yes, nowadays we have Skype. And it helps when you are far away from home. However sometimes, homesickness can make you feel to return back home. Not everyone can withstand this.You need to know whether you can handle it or not.

The German language is very beautiful, smooth and melodic. This is my subjective opinion, which has developed more in Almaty while hearing many voices of German speakers (not Austrian) and strengthened after moving to Austria. In German there is “barking” sounds which traditionally can be heard in a parody of German speech, what is in my opinion absolutely wrong impression.
Half of German sounds pronunciation, native Russian-speakers need to learn. But the second-half sounds very similar and familiar. Slavic ligaments can easily imitate them almost with absolute precision. Often, when people talk on the streets of Vienna or someone talking on the phone, with the first sounds, I think that it’s Russian speech (many Russians living in Vienna), but after listening more carefully, I understand that I got confused. English, French, Italian can never be confused like that.
Some people believe that studying in Austrian universities at English-language program, is possible without any German knowledge. However, as I can say, to live in Austria, you need to know the national language. Time has shown that not all employees of the central post offices and consultants of stores speak English. Of course, sometimes in a large shopping centers employees come and help each other and translate the requests of foreign customers. Even owners of small bakeries, or clothing repair store, surprise me with the knowledge of Russian language.
So don’t fool yourself with false excuses and start learning!

Today on Monday, June 27 started the last week of my course. So far we have learned such a many things. The main focus , as I think, was on teaching us how to use words with indefinite, definite and without articles. Since most of the exercises were including this theme. And this is understandable, because it is a basis, which is used in everyday life. Also I have learned other things as well, and became a little closer to understanding and being a part of this language.
Today was a decisive day for my knowledge, which must have shown me, my real progress which I made in a last month. Test day.
In the evening, the day before it, I walked through all stuff, that we passed, and made some not done exercises in workbook. I felt myself very confident after it and the test didn’t seem so scary to me.
So that day is on and meanwhile I was doing test only one thought was on my mind : no fails. I checked each exercise with full attention twice. I just wanted to make it completely right, don’t know why, maybe it was my pride or perfectionism, or both at once.

As I am still a new one in this city, I can’t name a big amount of places to spend evening or weekend in. However I have been in few places and some of them I liked and some not. Today I’m going to share information that I already have with you guys.
Since I am a student, I don’t spend too much money on going out to the restaurants, but once in a while I make an exception. Exception for “Vapiano”. It’s not super a luxury place, where you need to reserve in the week ahead. “Vapiano” is a normal restaurant, one of the many in city with calm atmosphere and good interior. This places keeps my attention and loyalty with one simple thing. Extremely delicious pasta. Like really, try it. Various types of pasta and fillers are at your disposal. Chefs are cooking right in front of you additionally asking about your preferences. Also plants which are staying on the tables, are edible. It’s kind of cool and very creative.

It’s already 2 months passed by since I arrived in Vienna. As I can say now, I’m already accustomed to the Vienna’s rhythm of life. However firstly some things were new and surprising for me. And about these differences between my Homeland and Vienna, I want to tell today.
When I landed in Vienna’s international airport at first I needed to get to the city. What was my surprise when I saw tickets for the train getting right to the City center! And only for 2-4 euro. Also then I realized, that transport question in Vienna is not a problem. Most likely it is an advantage. Because every kind of transport there is perfectly organised. It has schedule where with minute precision listed time of departure, arrival and road time. You don’t need to worry where to buy ticket for a bus and where for subway. Tickets there are valid for every public transport, so you just need to select required time validity – one day, week or month. Furthermore if you need an Internet access it’s not a problem though. Because almost everywhere here is a free Wi-fi point, just pick up your phone and connect.

So recalling my first lesson nearly two months ago, I couldn’t imagine that I would have gone so far just in two month. Because when I started at A1.2 speaking out loud was a big challenge for me, since I couldn’t remember any words that I already knew and too many grammar which I did not know how to use. Everything was in a big mess. I needed to bring my thoughts and knowledge in order and then learn how to use it properly. And there ( in D.A.) they know how to do it!
Presently I already can understand people conversations, participate in it and even actively speak to express my point of view. Also now I can read my friends post on Internet in German and completely understand it, except maybe a few things. As you can see, great work was done to bring me to this point.
What I especially like at my study is an unstrained atmosphere which totally helps to learn easy and effectively. So far I have learned many things, such as an important grammar to build a grammatically correct speech, words construction and many more. However not the less important thing that get taught in D.A. is daily based topics for speaking. In my opinion it’s on of the best things to get in real touch with new language.

Each person spends his\her free time at own discretion. Somebody may stay at home and just relax, someone may be playing a guitar after a hard day. What about me? Actually I have a lot of things to do. As somebody, who may have read my notes, could remember that I like sport and everything what it includes. When I have time and mood in the evening, I wear my old shorts, put up a big hoodie and tie shoelaces on my sneakers and go out for a jogging on the streets. Places may vary, from parks to city center, depends on how many kilometers today I can manage to do. Sometimes I can have a functional training outdoors, which really helps to keep mind clean and calm. By the way, many activities which I used to do in my Homeland, are pushed aside. But what I miss the most about my leisure time is – Mountains.

So today after I had come in class, we had a new kind of German learning. The point is, somebody brings a piece of paper for everybody with the lyrics of song in German. Then we listen to it, analyse, and translate almost every line. As I can say, it makes sense. Because I already used that tactics while had been learning English, and especially it helps when you cannot remember one particular word. You just need to recall that line from the song, which has this word and everybody is happy then! Also it teaches you some slang words and every day expressions, which can’t be taught by book.
What else do you have for me Deutsch?

Learning a new language is always a new and interesting experience of your life. Who knows where it may help you?
There is a couple of options of making this done. It’s on your choice – do it individually or in motivated team just like you. In addition, studying in big or even small groups, might provide you not only language skills practice, but a new acquaintances and maybe friends.
Last month i finished my first course at Deutsch Akademie, and there I found a new friend. His name is Sikai. He grew up in China and while finishing high school, he decided to continue his education in Italy as an Opera singer. So now he’s in an exchanging program, which provides him a two month studying in Vienna, and that’s the time we met each other. What I like about an international acquaintance is that, you may be from different countries, have own mother tongue, have varied traditions and diversified view points, but you still can communicate with each other and be friends. Furthermore it’s very interesting to learn more about other culture and life from insiders point. So now I have one more person in Vienna, who i can call friend and ask for help if I need to, or to go out in the evening and have a bottle of beer together.
However now we are in different groups, but this doesn’t prevent us from communication and continuation our friendship. He has even invited me to Italy for the time when he will have returned home, so maybe one day I will go to Italy!

Vienna as an international culture and tourist appealing center, has a big amount of must-visit places. Everything depends on what you like and what you want to do. So here’s my own subjective list of activities to do if you visit Vienna.
At first, after landing in airport, go out and breathe in that wonderful air. As soon as you left your luggage in hotel, search for an U-Bahn plan in Internet, that will be needed. After making this done, go out for a walk through the city. At first i suggest to visit Stephansplatz, this is very nice and popular place to promenade, also sometimes varied fairs can be there where you can experience Austrian food or buy some self-made stuff. Don’t forget to visit the Old city, where is a lot of historical and wonderful structures still existing from the previous centuries. This is fascinating.
If you feel hungry, don’t be afraid of trying some stuff at street eateries, they are cheap and tasty.
Because our next stop is Belvedere Palace or Schönbrunn Schloss, they are both have giant territory and a bunch of things to do. It’s the time when U-bahn helps you, because it works perfectly and what is more important – even kids can manage to use it, in case of simpleness and accessibility how it works. So entertain yourself with Tiergarten,or going up the hill where is a wonderful view in Schönbrunn or join a sightseeing tour in Belvedere. You will find activities to do there for a whole day. Enjoy it!

Manages the game state of a game of hive and determines valid playable moves.
Additionally, produces new game states from the application of valid moves.
A Unit represents one of the various pieces a game of Hive is played with -- ants, spiders, etc.
Each Unit has a class, which defines the type of bug it is, an owner to let you know who it belongs to, and an identifier to differentiate each instance.
There are a variety of functions for determining if a Unit can move, and where it can move to.
Each class of Unit also provides an extension to the Unit class to calculate its moves. See extension classes such as Unit+Ant and Unit+Beetle for more.
A Position is a space on the "board" where a Unit can be placed or moved to.
Positions rely on a hexagonal grid system, inspired by an excellent article by Red Blog Games. Details on the grid system implementation can be found here.
The Position class also provides functions for determining if a Unit can move freely between two Positions, very important for determining valid moves in the current state.
A Movement provides details on moving a Unit around the board, or introducing a new Unit to the board.
The GameState is the structure which manages the overall state of a game of Hive.
You can enumerate all the current moves available with availableMoves and opponentMoves.
For better performance, you can disable move validation with requireMovementValidation = false.
See the Releases for the most recent release.
To install manually, simply drag and drop HiveMind.xcodeproj into your Xcode project.
Write your changes and make sure you test them! This engine boasts nearly 100% code coverage and expects precise conformance to the rules of the game.
Run swiftlint from the root of the repository.
There should be no errors or violations. If there are, please fix them before opening a PR.

If you’d like to see more of the Suicide Squad in action outside of the comic books, then Arrow is a great place to look.
The team appeared in an episode titled “Suicide Squad” and while it didn’t feature costumes or a big budget, it did show off their dynamic, particularly in regards to how the ruthless Amanda Waller controls them and doesn’t hesitate to hit the kill switch when they disobey her. If you’re not already watching this series, you should be, and the demand for a Suicide Squad spin-off hasn’t stopped since they appeared in Arrow.
The main difference between the big and small screen versions will probably come down to the budget, with the movie utilising big name characters who would never work in a show like Arrow.

At Advantage Dental Group, we are regularly asked about Invisalign® and how effective it is at straightening teeth. This is an understandable question, because the process of using clear aligners is relatively new in comparison to wearing metal braces. As with any new technology, people often wonder, “Does Invisalign® really work?” and the answer is, yes. If you want a straight and beautiful smile without making it obvious that you are undergoing dental care, this is the best solution for you. As with any procedure, you will need to follow our instructions to ensure that your teeth move correctly and as quickly as possible. For example, aligners need to be worn for around 22 hours a day. While removable, you must be careful to keep them in place for as long as possible in order to keep your treatment schedule on track. They need to come out while you eat, so they do not become damaged or warped. You should also remove them when drinking anything hot since that can also warp them. However, as soon as you are done eating and brushing your teeth, the aligners need to be replaced. In our East Lyme, CT dental office, we recommend that you put your aligners in a special container we provide, so they are not accidentally thrown away. Too many people have put their aligners in napkins, only to find that they are gone after lunch. Replacing them quickly is important, so be sure to keep their case with you instead of taking them out at home and waiting until you come back to replace them. This will help you to stick with the 22 hours a day requirement and keep your straightening plan on schedule. Doing so will take your teeth from crooked to straight in a short period of time.
Yes, Invisalign® was created for adult teeth. While braces are traditionally associated with children, the process of using clear aligners is better suited for adult teeth. This is because Invisalign® works using a series of clear aligners. Before the treatment starts, an impression will be taken of your teeth, along with measurements and pictures. These will then be used to create 3D images and project what your teeth will do when pressure is applied to certain teeth. The entire treatment plan will be created using high-tech computer software and input from Dr. Sajjad Khan. The Invisalign® lab will then make the aligners. Each aligner is designed to move specific teeth and to be worn for two weeks at a time before being switched out for the next one in the series. Since the aligners are created at the beginning of the process, it works best on adult teeth that are fully mature. Some older teens can also benefit from straightening their teeth with Invisalign®.
At Advantage Dental Group, we use Invisalign® to straighten teeth and to align the bite. It is a misconception that braces are the only way to address an overbite or underbite. While they are traditionally the most effective, aligners can correct a bite, as well. In order to find out if this process will work for yours, we recommend that you visit our East Lyme, CT dental office. Call (860) 656-1073 to schedule a consultation so we can examine you, take x-rays, and determine whether or not Invisalign® is right for you. If your bite needs more adjustment than what aligners can offer, braces may be necessary or even oral surgery.
Yes, at Advantage Dental Group, we can supply you with clear aligners that are nearly invisible. They are made of a clear plastic that is durable, yet translucent. Few people will notice that you are straightening your teeth. It can take a few days to get used to wearing them, which could slightly influence your speech patterns. However, once you get used to wearing them, you won’t have any issues. Dr. Sajjad Khan does recommend that you care for your aligners by rinsing them with water, brushing your teeth after eating, and cleaning your aligners with a special paste. You do not want to use traditional toothpaste, because it could scratch the surface of your aligners and turn them from invisible to visible. If you want to straighten your teeth discretely, be sure to exercise caution when cleaning and caring for your aligners. When you visit our East Lyme, CT dental office, we can provide you with additional suggestions for how to take care of them.
You should be able to complete all of your activities while wearing aligners, except for eating and brushing your teeth. You need to take out your aligners while eating a meal, which means that you need to plan for snacking in order to prevent your aligners from coming out too frequently. The same holds true for when you are drinking hot coffee or tea, since the heat can warp the aligners. If you are playing aggressive sports, you may also want to remove them. However, Dr. Sajjad Khan will make specific recommendations after discussing the sports you play or any other activities you engage in.

Commercial Use :: Autonomous (Self-Driving) Vehicles Information Center :: The Law Offices of John Day, P.C.
Contact Tennessee Autonomous Truck Attorney The Law Offices of John Day, P.C.
Millions of Americans (and others around the world) are employed as drivers in some capacity. As self-driving car technology advances, these vehicles will begin to be used heavily for commercial uses and will greatly affect the way business is done.
One area where autonomous cars could have a vast impact is public transportation and busses. Self-driving technology is beginning to reach the mass transit field, with self-driving minibusses being deployed in several cities across the United States in 2016. Local Motors, an Arizona based company, has developed and built an autonomous minibus called Olli. Olli will seat 12 passengers, and current plans call for Olli to be tested in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas (first at UNLV and then in the city), and in Miami-Dade County in Florida.
IBM teamed up with the creators of Olli, and IBM’s AI platform Watson is integrated into the minibus. The use of Watson technology is aimed at enhancing the rider experience, with reports that riders will be able to ask how the bus works, why the bus is driving in a specific way, or even ask for local recommendations. Watson will not, however, be “driving” the bus. Although it appears that Olli will initially be used in public transportation, the company that created Olli has reported that they hope the minibus could one day be hailed through an app. To read more about IBM’s partnership with Local Motors on this minibus, visit https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/16/ibms-watson-makes-a-move-into-self-driving-cars-with-olli-a-minibus-from-local-motors/?ncid=mobilenavtrend.
Outside the United States, autonomous busses have been used in the Swiss town of Sion. The electric, self-driving buses did not make many stops and only went 20 kilometers per hour, but rides were free, and the bus had air conditioning and disabled access ramps. While the busses were self-driving, the plan was to have a manager and attendant on board to keep track of both the bus’s functions and the passengers on board. To read more about these Swiss busses, visit http://readwrite.com/2016/06/30/switzerland-autonomous-bus-tl4/. The trial of these busses was scheduled to run through October 2017, but one of the two busses hit a parked van in September 2016, causing the trial to be halted. The accident was minor and no one was injured, but the bus manufacturers wanted to investigate the cause of the accident. It is unclear if the trial will be resumed.
Helsinki, Finland also had a pilot program for driverless busses in 2016. These busses could only go six miles per hour, but they were an important step in implementing autonomous busses on a more widespread basis.
In Australia, 2016 saw a three-month test period for autonomous electric busses in the city of Perth. These busses have 11 seats and travel a route about 1.6 miles long, traveling around 12 miles per hour (but with the capability of going up to 28 miles per hour).
In Lyon, France, autonomous busses carrying 15 passengers will travel a ten-minute route, going to five stops and reaching a maximum 20 miles per hour. A similar bus was also scheduled to be tested in Paris in September 2016.

If you would like to read the next part of this article series please go to Introduction to Identity Management and Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 SP1 (Part 2).
Who? Who is allowed to access particularly systems or services in the organization?
What? What level of access is allowed to individual systems and services?
How? By what methods is a user allowed to access these systems and services?
Automatic creation of a user’s Active Directory account based on information gleaned from a database considered an authoritative source. In many cases, this is the human resources or payroll database.
Automatic creation of a user’s Exchange or Office 365 mailbox.
Automatic creation of a user’s home directory on a file server.
Automatic inclusion of a user’s account in any security groups that are appropriate for his job. Again, whether or not access to a particular group is appropriate would be dictated by information in the authoritative source database.
Self-service management of a user’s password. A user should be able to reset his password on demand and be provided with a mechanism by which to reset his password in the event that it is forgotten.
Note that everything in the list above implies that IT takes a mostly hands off stance with regard to ongoing identity management. Since this activity can fully consume people, particularly in organizations that see a lot of turnover, automation and self-services shifts the burden of the process away from personnel and turns it in just another IT service. Personally, I see identity management in many organizations as “low hanging fruit” that can save IT a lot of time and help the department focus more on bottom line-driven needs.
Moreover, robust identity management provides organizations with an additional layer of security. For example, IT may not be informed right away that a high level person has been fired, but you can bet that payroll has been notified. A rule could be created to deactivate an account when payroll performs a termination action in their system. This can help the organization ensure that only those that are authorized have access to the system.
Identity management can also become a compliance issue, particularly if it’s done poorly.
There are many, many ways to attack the identity management gorilla, but I’ll be focused in this series on Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 SP1. With this product, administrators overseeing Microsoft-centric environments can automate and distribute significant identity and rights-related tasks. With FIM, for example, an administrator can automate the provisioning of an Active Directory account and distribute to an administrative assistant the ability to manage the permissions in distribution and security groups in that person’s division.
That’s another way by which IT can return to the users some carefully controlled keys to the kingdom, thus further reducing IT’s need to be involved in every account-related activity in the organization. With a fully realized identity management solution, IT’s involvement moves to one of oversight and exception handling only. IT still retains responsibility for the automated systems, but is able to easily delegate some of the operational tasks.
You must have a rock solid understanding of the workflow that is involved in creating accounts in your organization, right down to the field level. You can’t automate what you don’t understand.
You must understand what triggers various activities in the identity lifecycle. For example, what action initiates the creation of a new credential in a particular system? What actions deactivate a particular access level or credential?
You must have a complete systems inventory and an understanding of the authentication mechanisms for each.
Your “authoritative systems” must be clean. For example, if you intend to use the Human Resources system as the source repository for employee identity, you must ensure that the data in the system is valid and complete. For example, are you capturing the name of a new employee’s manager? If not, you’re eliminating FIM’s ability to automatically email new user credentials to an new hire’s supervisor.
Once you understand your organization’s existing landscape, you can start doing some terraforming with Forefront Identity Manager.
Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 brings to IT a host of features that can ease the identity management burden. I won’t say that getting to a fully realized identity management system is an easy undertaking; it isn’t. However, once an organization commits to and see it through, the product feature show a clear benefit.
Manage password, including self-service password reset.
FIM’s self-service password reset capability is quite good. It works by requiring that a user first register with the password reset service. Just like you do with your bank, you’re asked a series of personal questions and your answers are stored in a database. If you happen to forget your password, you can browse to a web site to reset it or, if you’re not able to log in to your machine, you can take advantage of FIM’s ability to integrate with the Windows login screen, as shown below. When you click the Reset Password link, you’re provided just enough of a computing environment to reset your password after which you can log in as normal.
Some help desks spend more than ½ of their time managing user password issues. What if that particular class of call went away or, at the very least, was reduced to a trickle? That can mean vast savings for the IT department and the ability to redirect staff resources at higher priority projects.
With FIM, you can grant users as many or as few of the rights that I’ve described above using FIM’s built in capability to granularly manage roles and role assignments.
For relatively straightforward deployments, FIM 2010 includes the ability to prevision and deprovision users without having to write a bunch of code. Of course, this isn’t supported in every scenario, but is supported for such items as Active Directory and can make the product a bit easier to deploy.
Organizations are not static creations. They change every day. People change, departments change and even whole companies change. With FIM, if you make a change to authoritative data, you can configure the product to automatically reflect that change across all systems. For example, if you change the name of a department, any users in that department can have their Active Directory accounts updated to reflect the change.
While automation is wonderful, sometimes a human has to be involved for approvals. For example, if a user makes an attempt to use the self-service portal to change their nickname, HR can create a policy that forbids that change without HR’s approval.
This article provided you with a foundation on which to understand the importance of identity management and began to introduce you to FIM 2010 R2 SP1. In the next part of this series, we will continue exploring the product.

Chronic Health Conditions and Neurocognitive Function in Aging Survivors of Childhood Cancer: A Report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study.
Background:Neurocognitive impairment in survivors of childhood cancer may be associated with direct neurotoxicity, as well as indirect effects of systemic health complications. We evaluated associations among treatment exposures, chronic health conditions, and neurocognitive outcomes in adult survivors of childhood cancer. Methods:Participants included 5507 adult survivors of childhood cancer (47.1% male; mean [SD] age = 31.8 [7.6] years at evaluation; 23.1 [4.5] years postdiagnosis) in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study who completed a self-report measure of neurocognitive function. Cardiac, pulmonary, and endocrine chronic health conditions were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.03). Structural equation modeling was used to examine a priori hypothesized causal pathways among cancer treatment, subsequent chronic health conditions, and neurocognitive outcomes. Multivariable models were used to estimate relative risk for associations of treatments and chronic conditions on neurocognitive function. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results:One-third of survivors with a grade 2 or higher chronic condition reported impairments in task efficiency and memory. In addition to direct effects of cranial radiation, path analyses and multivariable models demonstrated direct effects of cardiopulmonary (β = 0.10, P = .002; relative risk [RR] = 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.12 to 1.44) and endocrine (β = 0.07, P = .04; RR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.28) conditions on impaired task efficiency. We identified similar effects of cardiopulmonary condition on memory (P = .01) and emotional regulation (P = .01). Thoracic radiation was associated with impaired task efficiency (P = .01) and emotional regulation (P = .01) through endocrine morbidity. Conclusions:Non-neurotoxic exposures, such as thoracic radiation, can adversely impact survivors' neurocognitive function through chronic conditions. Management of chronic diseases may mitigate neurocognitive outcomes among aging survivors of childhood cancer.

I’m often asked how I create better results from facebook ad campaigns to get the best bang for my buck (and for my private clients). So this is a special post I am writing for all of you that follow me and for the folks over at Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income Blog..
For all of you who are new, welcome and I hope I can help everyone get a better return on their money after reading these 7 ways to get better results from your facebook ad spend.
Despite what you might think, to save money you want more people to click on your ad. The more clicks you get on your ads compared to the number of times they show your ad, the higher your Click Through Rate (CTR) becomes. The higher the CTR the less you have to pay for ads, making your ad budget go a lot further.
One of the best advantages of facebook is that you can target people by what they are intrested in. Take advantage of this to target only people who you think are not only going to click your ad but convert from your ads too. This is crucial to not only to increase your click through rate or the amount of people who click on your ads but increase your sales too.
Don’t just test your ad copy or your images.. It is actually more important to test your targeting.
here’s a great video tip that shows you how to test your click through rate on facebook automatically (and its built in to facebook).
Make your ad match the offer you give on the landing page. Since they already showed they were interested in your ad by clicking it, if you use the same headline for your offer or landing page you are more likely to convert that traffic into likes, leads or sales.
Sometimes you just need to ask. For most people the like button is out of sight out of mind. You can also give a little incentive or bonus if they like your page and reveal their gift if they do. This is called a “like” to reveal page.
Check out this post: How to create a click like to reveal page for free in 3 minutes.
Have something great waiting for them after they click in exchange for their email address.
This way you can continue to add value and create a relationship with them in the future.
If you follow these tips you will spend less money on ads and get more conversions for your money.
If you’ve had success with facebook ads and you think i’ve missed something please add it in the comments!
And if you enjoyed the article show me by clicking the “like” button, re-tweet or just share it with a friend.

John and Elaine Berkheiser will be making a special visit to Spring Hill for this meeting to discuss the Leader Dog and all that this program does for the local community.
Leader Dogs for the Blind provides guide dogs to people who are blind and visually impaired to enhance their mobility, independence and quality of life. Each year, more than 270 clients attend the 26-day residential training program to be paired with a guide dog. This is a life-changing event that opens the door to independence, safety and self-worth for many clients.
Clients coming to Leader Dog to receive a guide dog complete a 26-day training program that includes country, city and nighttime travel, how to incorporate a Leader Dog into a daily routine and dog care knowledge.
Upon arrival to Leader Dog, clients learn how to work with a guide dog, including commands, making corrections, proper praise and physically caring for a dog. On day three, clients are matched with a trained dog with consideration made to lifestyle, travel pace, physical size and stamina.
Leader Dog recognizes the needs associated with diversity and the demands of balanced lifestyles and careers.
�We strive to meet the special needs of our clients with accommodations such as Spanish-speaking instructors, late evening diabetic snacks and one of only two existing programs for individuals who are both deaf and blind,� the Berkheisers say.
Anyone interested in becoming a member can stop by the Winchester Community Building on Toombs-Pardos St. to receive information and visit with a few special leader dogs.
The public is invited and parents and children welcome.

Join us on our Alps to the Coast Japan Cycling Tour. It is an Intermediate tour that starts deep in the alpine city of Matsumoto, Nagano and finishes on the stunning coastline of the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka. This tour takes us on a magical journey, over high mountain passes, roads and town lost to time, across the breathtaking Venus Line before heading for Mt. Fuji and the Izu Peninsula. Everyday the scenery, along with accommodation and food change as we head west.
Average distance is about 100km per day with approximately 1400m of climbing. Our Intermediate ours aim to strike a balance between time on and off the bike, but it is still designed challenge and a reasonable level of bike handling ability is required. Contact us for more information on joining this tour.
Average daily distance of approximately 100km.
We will kick of first serious day of the tour with a great ride around the northern hills of Matsumoto, The course is a little hilly, something you will get used to riding in Japan, but with super smooth, quiet roads, the climbs pass with a smile and we are in for what will be an enjoyable first day on the bike.
Today we follow in footsteps of the ancient monks who used Fujinomiya as the resting place and base for their pilgrimage up to the summit of Mt. Fuji. While not exactly the summit, we will be heading for the end of road and the lofty 2300m high Mt. Fuji 5th Station. With views to the ocean on a clear day, the climb is a solid beast, but well worth the effort. After climbing the majestic mountain, we head for Gotemba and our amazing accommodation where a good onsen will be well appreciated. One day to go!!
We have come from deep in the alps, crested some of the highest roads in Japan, tackled Mt. Fuji and now we come to the coast. A brilliant ride to finish the day as we head south along the rice fields, cutting in and out of the small villages and there will certainly be some surprises in store along the way. We meet the coast after passing through ancient Shuzenji and up the final climb of the tour. We hit the coast at the 60km mark and weave in and out of the coves as we head for a stunning lookout point and a chance to dip our feet in the beautiful water. A short ride to our accommodation on the the coast and celebrations in store. Well done on completing the Alps to the Coast Tour!
Time to pack up and head back to Tokyo. What a tour!!

Apartments In Bethesda Md Apartment Leasing and Renting Today Has Become an Internet Game, Energy efficiency has become something targeted towards homeowners; unfortunately, for any third of Americans who rent their houses a number of these upgrades are out of reach. Although landlords may not mind if someone makes energy efficiency improvements the motivation to further improve a rental is low, moreover some landlords might not exactly even let their renters paint the walls. There are some improvements that may be made with no hassle, such as changing lights, but other weatherization improvements are out of reach. Some renters are really nervous about their security deposits they’re not going to even hang pictures about the walls. The desire to increase energy efficiency can be seen, actually, according to a survey 86% of renters preferred or were seeking an eco-conscious apartment.
– Get to know what you’re getting yourself into. Some serviced apartments could include breakfast. Also, in some instances, the restroom could be given to the host or any other tourists. In some cases, the host may want to meet its guests. However, before meeting the host, check for some recent photos of the serviced apartments or attempt to get some references. Keep in mind that a lot of them mightn’t have an air conditioning system. If you plan to rent an apartment during the summer time, the temperature might become a problem.
Low-cost Apartments and Hotels – searching online for the right budget-friendly apartment or hotel can often be achievable. Many dedicated sites are available online who have the sole purpose of finding competitive priced places to be. It often benefits one to check out the accessibility to these types of sites, because they have the local knowledge and will be able to find the most effective rates.
Amsterdam is famous for it open air markets. In Oud-zuid there is an ranging Albert Cuypmarkt open year-round. This part of town is definitely a popular spot for expats to find Expat Amsterdam apartments due simply to vicinity in the Vondelpark. One in the largest public areas 120 acres) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is perfectly located at the stadsdeel Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, west through the Leidseplein along with the Museumplein. The park was opened in 1865 and originally named the “Nieuwe Park”, but later renamed to “Vondelpark”, as soon as the 17th century author Joost van den Vondel. Yearly, the park has around ten million visitors. In the park is a film museum, a wide open air theatre, a playground, and different cafe’s and restaurants.

What To Expect As Our Cats Age - Petpav - Your Online Magazine for All Things Pet!
We love our pets dearly and it is so hard to see our cats getting older and less active. But, as in humans, these changes are inevitable. While we have taken our kitties once a year to the vet during their younger lives, as our cats’ age, they sometimes require more attention. Below are some normal signs of our ageing cats and what you can do to help your cats’ age with grace.
While most younger and middle aged cats can get a little chunky at times, our older cats tend to lose some of that fat. Studies have shown that senior cats do not digest, and thus absorb fat, as well as younger cats. This means that older cats may need to consume either more fat or fat that is more digestible to get the same amount of energy. It’s important to monitor the weight of your cat and adjust your cat’s diet accordingly. Your vet, as always, can help make recommendations.
As our cats age, their fur can become matted or more abrasive. Brushing your cat is a great way to give your kitty extra attention and our older cats need to be groomed more often. Our cats will probably love the extra attention. You will also be helping to prevent hairballs, which can be more of a problem in older cats. While grooming, check for any lumps, bumps, or non-healing sores and contact your veterinarian immediately if any are found.
Just as there are see changes in your cat’s fur, our aging cats tend to have thicker foot pads and changes in the nails as they tend to become brittle. It’s important to clip the nails of older cats and they may need to be clipped more often since older cats may not use scratching posts as often as younger cats. Therefore, they have no way of ‘trimming’ their nails on their own.
Encourage your cat to get more exercise; make high places more accessible to your kitty.
Arthritis can occur in older cats, especially in cats who have had injured joints earlier in their life. As in people, arthritis in cats may only cause a slight stiffness or it can become debilitating. Cats may have difficulty jumping onto favorite perches or going up and down stairs.
Glucosamine can be beneficial to support healthy joints. Cats have a distinct sensitivity to many anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and acetaminophen. Don’t give your cat an anti-inflammatory or pain relief medication unless prescribed by your veterinarian; if prescribed, follow dosage instructions very carefully as it can be dangerous to your cat.
As our cats age, the risk of kidney disease increases. This may be due to changes in the kidney itself or result from the dysfunction of other organs such as the heart, which if not functioning properly, will decrease blood flow to the kidneys. Kidney function can be measured through blood tests and a urinalysis. These tests can identify a kidney problem well before there are any physical signs of disease. The most frequent sign of kidney disease is usually an increase in water consumption and urination. Kidney disease is very common in older cats.
As our cats age, their ability to regulate their body temperature decreases. Cats who could handle cold temperatures when they were young, may not be able to as they age. Monitoring the environmental temperature around your cat and making adjustments will help your older cat be more comfortable. You may need to move your cat’s bed closer to a heating outlet or purchase a heated bed to make your kitty comfortable.
Some cats will experience hearing loss as they age. Slight hearing loss is hard to determine in cats. Often hearing loss is severe before an owner becomes aware of the problem. The first sign could be that your cat has seemingly become more aggressive when it really is that your kitty was caught off guard, became startled when touched (due to loss of hearing your approach), and instinctively reacted.
Cats may experience vision loss as they age. You may notice that your cat no longer follows a toy with her eyes as you move it across the floor or might may have difficulty finding his or her food dish. Any sudden changes in vision or appearance of the eyes should prompt a visit to your veterinarian as soon as possible. Eye exams should be part of the regular physical exam in older cats.
As always, if you see any sudden medical or physical changes in your cat or anything unusual, call your veterinarian and schedule an appointment.

The AUM of Bank of Singapore rose 3% to US$102b.
The private banking businesses of Singapore’s biggest banks weathered the broad-based industry decline as assets under management either held steady or fell marginally in 2018, according to a report from Asian Private Banker.
The AUM of Bank of Singapore, OCBC’s private banking arm, rose 3% YoY to US$102b in 2018 which puts it at sixth place in the regional AUM league and trailing behind big US wealth managers. Similarly, assets managed by UOB Private Bank dipped marginally by 0.9% to US$34b over the same period which puts the bank at fifteenth place.
On the other hand, the AUM of DBS whose wealth management business includes DBS Treasures, DBS Treasures Private Client and DBS Private Bank, rose 7% YoY to an aggregate figure of US$161.5b. Given the intermingling of private and non-private banking segments, DBS was omitted from the regional rankings.
Swiss-based UBS dominates the Asian leaderboard even as AUM fell 6.7% to US$357b and made the bank unable to cross the US$400b mark. Credit Suisse follows at second place with US$205.1b AUM. HSBC, Julius Baer and Morgan Stanley round out the top four with US$124b, US$111.0b and US$105b in AUM respectively.
Overall, the AUM of top 20 private banks in Asia fell 3.6% to US$1.63t in 2018 although Asia-headquartered banks fared marginally better than internationally-headquartered counterparts (-3.4% vs -3.7%).
“Banks entered the new year on the front foot, generally urging clients to stay invested and hedge amidst bouts of volatility and whilst their advice did not fall on deaf ears, clients exercised extreme caution by reining in trading activity, deleveraging, and upping cash holdings which sustained throughout the year,” Asian Private Banker said in a statement.

I gave a talk at MaRS on this topic. The event was put on by Steve O’Neil and his team, who all did an excellent job. The venue was packed to standing-room only with a fantastic audience of 300-400 people.
The goal of the event was to have a discussion around “Rational AI in the Enterprise.” I think all of the speakers did a wonderful job of honoring the topic. We wanted to present the facts as they are, on the ground, in real-world projects and situations.
My talk was aimed at a mixed audience of technologists, investors, and executives. The goal was to instill a sense of skepticism when considering if and when a given business problem dictates an AI solution, and also to instill some confidence when it comes to having a conversation with someone pitching an AI solution to a business problem.
If you want to skip ahead, you can download the slides directly. I will be referencing selected slides by section below.
The plan for the talk is to first provide some of my background in order to share the ways in which my experiences have shaped my perspectives on AI as a topic. Then, I’ll give an example of a pitch for a fraud detection AI that I developed specifically for this talk. In closing, I’ll discuss some ways to separate wheat from chaff when it comes to AI projects and solutions.
This is an example of a fraud detection AI solution I had developed for the lecture. I explained the problem domain as fraud detection for e-commerce or other electronic transaction services. I also described my “co-founder,” who is someone I’ve worked with for many years on a variety of projects and who is, in their own right, an amazing technologist with an extensive background in high-performance machine learning from an applied perspective. My co-founder is also classically trained in theoretical computer science. The goal of this section was to communicate that the founding team is credible and enticing from an investment perspective.
This slide describes some facts about the AI solution my co-founder and I developed. All of the items on this slide are true. The system is proprietary, for performance reasons. It is also proven in real-world applications, since I’ve helped advising clients who have been using similar systems to great success. Lastly, the system is extremely high performance and very scalable. The system can handle all the traffic on VisaNet for about $20 per month in operational costs.
The goal of this slide was to provide sufficient buzzword bingo, and reference exciting tools and technologies.
The system is shown on the next slide (yes, it fits on a slide).
This slide is the code for the system, of which the main part is only the following 6 lines.
The point of this slide is to show that although my claims were all factually correct, viewing only the code for the AI system in question would not get anyone excited from an investment perspective. The AI solution and my mock-pitch were constructed purely to demonstrate how people can be taken in by AI hype.
AI, in practical terms, is the pursuit of human-level intelligence by machines. It isn’t a single thing you build, or a product, or a solution of some kind. It is the process of trying to build increasingly smarter systems in order to free up the time and energy of humans to focus on more important and rewarding aspects of existence.
This is a different take on the classic statement that “AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.” Though the idea of a technology may be considered AI, once that technology is realized, people stop calling it AI. There are countless examples of this, such as optical character recognition, facial recognition, chess playing, and many more. These things aren’t really considered to be AI anymore, they’re just things your smartphone can do.
This is an important point because it completely disarms claims by any technology team or company trying to sell you an AI solution to a business problem. They might have a solution, but calling it AI is just window dressing. It’s probably just a good solution to a business problem.
Since AI is the pursuit of technology capable of a more advanced level of intelligence, it is almost by definition a research activity. This makes it an endeavour wholly unsuited to almost every growth-stage startup, or large enterprise, excepting the few that have an actual research department.
A team at a growth-stage tech startup that is working on building a product is generally not building any AI which hasn’t been built already. They are, or they should be, using established tools, frameworks, algorithms, and other proven knowledge in order to build a product to satisfy a customer demand. Efforts to advance the current state of AI research are simply a distraction for a startup that builds products. AI isn’t necessary in order for the startup to provide a great experience and tons of value for customers.
This slide is a list of some things I’ve seen during my career in tech thus far. They’ve all had similar hype trains associated with them. Some have now gone out of fashion.
The thing to note is that these buzzwords are extremely vague, and seem to be getting more vague as time progresses. While Business Intelligence efforts seemed to have a rather concrete scope (including creating reporting systems and aggregating data in order to allow humans to make better decisions), AI by contrast is almost completely nebulous. It will accomplish everything, solve everything, and advance everything, resulting in some utopian or dystopian future. Vague claims are a dead giveaway that the hype is out of control.
I was once contacted by a venture capital firm who asked me to pay a visit to one of their portfolio companies. They wanted me to help the company make some progress on scaling their technical team, and to provide guidance on some particularly difficult technical problems they were trying to solve. Along the way, I spoke with one of the executives who was very keen on improving their fraud detection system.
The executive was convinced that their current system, designed around rules for flagging transactions that were likely fraudulent, was archaic, and that they needed some AI and Data Science to achieve more effective fraud detection. With that in mind, the executive had approved a budget for hiring an entire Data Science team, and that team had now been on site for the last four months working on the problem of developing this new and wonderful system.
I went to speak with the team in question and asked them how they were progressing. The news was not good. Unfortunately, they were having difficulties in improving the accuracy of the fraud detection system they were building. They had tried numerous algorithms, data preprocessing techniques, and other strategies. They were simply stuck, and the pressure from the executive to produce a new Data Science and AI-based fraud detection system was getting worse.
I asked them what they were using for training data for the new system.
Of course the new system wouldn’t be any more accurate! In fact, it wouldn’t even be as good as the current rules-based system, since any machine learning approach to that problem is only emulating the output of the rules-based system in the first place.
The executive seemed to think that a rules-based system was horribly outdated and that AI was needed. He seemed to be unaware that many (most?) of the AI systems handling things like fraud detection or credit risk decisions are rules-based. The executive completely bought into the hype surrounding AI, and it cost the company a large sum of time and money that would have been much better spent elsewhere.
In order to guard against this, and also to facilitate the rest of the discussion, it’s important to have a clear understanding about what the problem actually is. Additionally, once the problem has been specified, it’s almost always revealed to be a business problem with known effective solutions rather than something requiring a new and novel technical approach. These business problems, and the companies who solve them, are almost always built on domain expertise, a professional network, focused objectives, and persistence - not AI magic.
What is the most naive solution? Did you try that?
Once the problem has been clearly specified, it’s best to try the simplest or most naive solution first. If that isn’t possible, there should be a good reason. Most technical problems that growth-stage startups need to solve are well addressed by textbook solutions. There are often three or more ways to solve these common technical problems that are known, easy to implement and maintain, and proven to work across a wide variety of scalability phases.
As an example, if you’re doing some kind of bin packing or knapsack problem, you can consider greedy heuristics, dynamic programming, and least-cost branch and bound. Those tools enable coverage of different sizes of data sets, and you can make intelligent decisions on the important of accuracy versus runtime performance. Developing some kind of AI packing prediction system is wholly unnecessary.
Sometimes people will deliberately attempt the most naive solution with full knowledge that it will fail, simply so they can justify using or building the more exciting and fancy AI solution. A company can save a lot of time and money by instead considering the next-most-naive solution.
As mentioned above, many problems have solutions that work well across a wide variety of scalability stages. In the knapsack problem example, you can solve for small item sets relatively quickly and optimally with a dynamic programming approach. If you have more data and the dynamic programming solution is no longer appropriate, the answer is not to leap to some AI-based solution for knapsack problems, but rather to consider the next-most-naive solution.
Why is what you’re doing considered AI?
This is, intentionally, a bit of a trick question. If someone is trying to sell you on investing in a project or company and they’re playing up the AI aspect of it, ask them why the whole thing is considered AI in the first place. If they’re solving a valuable business problem, and happen to be using some new and interesting technology to do it, it’s potentially an interesting investment. However, if they just like the idea of AI and are using it as a solution in search of a problem, then that’s probably a very dangerous investment and should be avoided.
Are you using a framework?
If so, why is your solutions defensible?
If not, explain why you aren’t wasting time?
As above, this one is also somewhat of a trick question. Recall that AI is done, to the extent it is done at all, by research teams. A product team at a growth-stage startup or a development team in a larger organization probably isn’t outfitted to be focusing on advancing the forefront of human knowledge in AI. Therefore, they should probably be using existing frameworks and tooling, allowing them to spend valuable time solving necessary customer and business problems in a manner that is efficient to operate and maintain. Building a custom AI framework takes time and resources away from those goals, but is often touted as a selling point when the person doing the touting is trying to play up how novel their solution is.
Lastly, some companies will make the argument that because they’re using an AI framework to solve business problem X, that their solution is valuable because of the AI component. WRONG! The solution must be valuable in its own right! The customers who want business problem X solved do not care about the manner in which it is solved, so long as the solution works and is maintainable. The business problem is what is important, not the fact that an AI framework was used to solve it.
When you hear AI, be suspicious.
Above all, be suspicious. When someone says AI, they may be solving a very important problem… or they may just want your money.
