There are legal and tax consequences to marrying a non-citizen that you should be aware of. Working with one of the experienced estate planning attorneys with the Law Office of Bryan Fagan is essential for developing a strategy geared towards saving money and retaining as much property as possible in your estate. While paying taxes is important, ensuring that you are not paying a penny more than need be is critical to retaining wealth and helping those people that are beneficiaries under your various estate planning vehicles.
First, you should figure out whether your spouse qualifies as a resident of the United States. A test is used to determine the number of days that your spouse was physically in the United States for a specific calendar year. For spouses who are both citizens of the United States, there is an unlimited spousal transfer rule when it comes to financial gifts. This means that you can gift property and assets to your spouse on an unlimited basis and will not incur any taxes as a result. However, when your spouse is not a citizen there are limits to these kinds of transfers that you may initiate.
As soon as your spouse has established the United States as their domicile (physical presence without the intent to leave) then there will need to be some additional action on their part to leave the country for these provisions to become relevant. If your spouse is a permanent resident alien and has aa a green card in other words, then that would put them in a situation where your spouse has established their domicile in the United States. From that point, you and your spouse should figure out just how much property he or she owns that is located outside of the United States. How the property is owned: as an individual, jointly, or as part of a trust, is also important to know for estate planning purposes.
Keep in mind that if your spouse owns property outside of the United States and would like to transfer that property to you then the tax laws of the United States and possibly those of the other country would both be relevant. The other country may not care particularly what your spouse's United States-based will have to say about ownership of the property and your intent to transfer ownership of the property to your spouse. A possible solution to this problem would be to create more than one will- one for your property and assets in the United States and one for the country where your spouse owns the property.
In addition to hiring an attorney located in the United States, it could make a great deal of sense for you to hire a lawyer in the country where the property is located. An American attorney will not likely know the laws in that country very well and at the very least it could be helpful to have a lawyer "on the ground" in that other country. You never know when a hearing may be scheduled or if another issue with that property may arise. For representation for American estate planning, the attorneys with the Law Office of Bryan Fagan are here to help you and your family.
The type of property that your spouse is trying to transfer to you and the specific location of that property are important factors to consider when you are getting involved in estate planning matters. You can begin to do some research into how that country treats transfers of ownership of property to spouses and whether you and your spouse living in the United States make a difference when it comes to transferring property like this. There are a few countries that the United States has a relationship with when it comes to the transferring of property from spouse to spouse. These relationships minimize the kind of tax implications that may arise in other scenarios when it comes to estate or gift taxes. To find out what your exposure is on these issues you must determine what country is your spouse’s domicile.
What is the unlimited marital deduction for gifting?
In a situation where both you and your spouse are citizens of the United States, you can take advantage of an unlimited number of transfers of property to one another. The net result of this is that it is unlikely that there will be an estate or gift tax bill presented to either of you because of these transfers. The reason for this is that there is an exemption of more than ten million dollars for both you and your spouse which allows you both to pass property free of a tax burden. Unless your estate is extremely large then taxes usually do not figure into this equation.
When you or your spouse are not United States citizens then this benefit does not apply to your marriage. When you make gifts to your non-citizen spouse during your lifetime then that means that you may be subject to the federal gift tax. The spouse who is a citizen of the United States can gift more than $160,000 per year to the non-citizen spouse. When you do this, however, you should consider the tax implications as far as when this is done and how you are documenting the transfer. A financial planner/tax professional is a great person to have on your team to make sure that you are doing this in a way that minimizes your tax exposure.
How to handle transfers of property after your death
If you are an American citizen and would like to transfer property to your spouse as a part of your estate plan what are the essential pieces of information that you need to know? First, your spouse as a non-U.S. citizen can inherit property from you via a will in the same way as he or she would have been able to do if they were a citizen. The major difference, however, is that your spouse must pay taxes on what was inherited. The unlimited marital deduction does not apply to this situation. The idea that the property inherited could leave the country with your spouse without first being taxed is an issue that the federal government wanted to address and did so by placing an estate tax on this type of inheritance.
If your non-citizen spouse passes away before you do and you are named as the beneficiary of property under their will then that property would pass to you under the federal gift and estate taxes unlimited marital transfer exemption on all property that you all own around the globe. When you are thinking about estate planning for end-of-life situations then it would be wise to consider the lifetime gift and estate tax exemptions available under our tax laws. This is an efficient way to protect yourself and your spouse from paying unnecessary taxes and to hold onto as much of your wealth as possible.
What are some ways for you all to maximize your wealth positions?
If nothing else, you should be able to see that if you and your spouse are both citizens of the United States then certain opportunities exist that the two of you can take advantage of when it comes to avoiding taxes that a non-citizen is not able to avail themselves of. When you have a large estate there are a couple of different ideas that you and your spouse should talk over and then meet with an experienced estate planning attorney regarding.
It makes a lot of sense for your spouse to apply to become a citizen of the United States. By the time your spouse applies and is ultimately approved for citizenship he or she would then qualify for the unlimited marital tax deduction that we have been speaking about today. Say that you were to pass away in January of 2024. Your spouse would have until October 2024 (nine months later) to be approved for citizenship so that the unlimited marital deduction could apply. Since you and your spouse do not know when this nine-month period becomes relevant it is a good idea to start the citizen application process as soon as possible. It is unlikely that the timing would work out well enough for your spouse to begin the application process as soon as you pass away. Think ahead and begin this application process as soon as possible, in other words.
Another option to consider is a qualified domestic trust which would have to be approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The trust, rather than your spouse, would inherit the property. Your spouse would then be able to act as the only beneficiary under that trust and could receive income from it during their lifetime. Again, this is a key area that you would likely need to involve the help of an experienced estate planning attorney.
What is a Qualified Domestic Relations Trust?
As a workaround the laws limiting how much a United States citizen spouse and a non-U.S. citizen spouse may transfer to one another as far as property is concerned, a qualified domestic trust is one way option that can be chosen. The estate tax implications of making a mistake or transferring too much property throughout a lifetime can be dramatic. If you think of it in terms of what work can be done to offset the risk of losing thousands of tax dollars (or more) then it makes complete sense to see to it that these tax options are looked at in detail.
Right off the bat, you ought to know that a qualified domestic relations trust can be created within a will. Or your spouse can elect to create one of these trusts within 27 months of your having passed away. Your spouse would be named as the grantor within the language of the trust. There is a long list of benefits that could make this a worthy step for your spouse to take. However, many people may not think to move forward with a step like this given that you would already have passed away by this time.
If you create a qualified domestic trust before you pass away, then you can leave the property or assets to a trust rather than give it directly to your spouse. This, as we have already discussed, can help you to avoid the tax consequences of making a direct transfer of the property. For the cost of creating a simple trust, this can help you and your family avoid having to potentially pay a lot of money in taxes. Do not underestimate the circumstances that a trust like this could help your family organize your lives better and construct a long-term plan for shaping the well-being of your family. Your spouse would act as the only beneficiary under the trust and would receive a specific amount of money over time, usually an amount that would be under the estate tax or gift tax thresholds.
One thing to keep in mind when it comes to creating a trust of this sort is that the estate taxes inherent in effectuating a transfer like this cannot be avoided forever. For example, when your spouse dies and the property within the trust is distributed to your children or anyone else for that matter an estate tax will be levied against the property. Your spouse can avoid having to pay an estate tax but that tax will not be avoided forever, in other words.
What we have already learned about estate taxes still applies, however- if your spouse becomes a citizen of the United States then this estate tax would not be an issue. The trust could be dissolved at that point and all the property could be distributed to your now widowed-US citizen spouse with no estate taxes to be concerned with.
Closing thoughts on estate and gift taxes
With so many moving pieces when it comes to estate and gift taxes, it can become a cumbersome and difficult process for you and your family to handle matters related to this subject without the assistance of an experienced estate planning attorney. When you add into this situation that your spouse is not a United States citizen then the complexities become even more ample and numerous. For that reason, planning out how to handle these situations with an estate planning attorney can be extremely effective.
As a practical matter, you may be wondering what you can do right now to move the ball down the field and help you and your family prepare for matters related to estate planning. First, you and your spouse can perform some basic research into what it takes for your spouse to become a United States citizen. For those of you who are not aware, it is a process involved with becoming a citizen. An immigration attorney may be a good person to talk to about the citizenship application process. Internet searches can likely inform you of the basics associated with applying to become a citizen as well as the probable waiting time for this application.
Any additional information, documentation, or steps that you need to follow through on will be found on various government websites. You can talk to people that you know who have been through the process. There may be information that is out there which is not included on a government website which can be helpful to know in advance.
Otherwise, creating a trust would appear to be the most direct way to avoid paying estate taxes for property transferred to your spouse upon your death. The creation of trust is something that takes planning. However, it is not something that would take years to do. An experienced estate planning attorney who is aware of your goals and has helped you to map out a plan to accomplish those goals can work with you on creating this trust. Placing the relevant property in the trust is the last step in that process.
All these things can happen for you and your family, but you would first need to speak with an experienced estate planning attorney to get the ball rolling.

The Ross River winds it’s way from the Ross River Dam in the far suburb of Kelso through a series of weirs that tame it. In it’s lower reaches the Ross River or Ross Creek as it is correctly known in this Inner City location was looking quite picturesque so I stopped to take some photos. Mangroves line the City side of the creek which I think is rather cool.
The iconic Holiday Inn known locally as the Sugar Shaker. At it’s base is the pedestrian only Victoria Bridge.
High Rise Accommodation with The Rock Face of Castle Hill in the Background.
Rooney Street Bridge, Townsville.
Mt. Stuart looks close but is actually 23 km away.
All of the above photos were taken from Central Park which has a riverside walkway hugging the Creek for city commuters. The park itself is squashed between Dean Street and the creek and apart from it’s city views is quite unremarkable.

Oh Yes! There were also some trees in flower. This one is an Umbrella Tree.
Thanks for visiting Townsville with me this Tuesday. Do you have an underrated viewpoint where you live?

- Beyond Meat's Beyond Burger uses 22 ingredients in its attempt to perfectly re-create the taste and texture of a beefy burger.
- Ingredients include pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, and coconut oil.
- "If you look at it long enough ... you begin to understand that meat is knowable and material," Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown told Business Insider in May, following the company's explosive initial public offering.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Beyond Meat reached its $1 billion-plus unicorn valuation in large part because of the success of its Beyond Burger in replicating the taste and feel of chowing down on a hamburger.
However, the plant-based burger uses more than a few veggies to re-create the taste of a classic, bleeding burger.
"If you look at it long enough from different angles and as much as you possibly can, you begin to understand that meat is knowable and material," Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown told Business Insider following the company's explosive initial public offering in May.
"It's essentially these five things. It's amino acids, lipids, trace minerals, trace vitamins, and water," Brown continued. "None of those are exclusively the animal. They're all present in the plant kingdom."
With Beyond Meat, Brown has worked to find these five elements in plants and use them to perfectly replicate the texture, taste, and experience of eating meat.
For the company's most famous product, the Beyond Burger, this is no easy feat, requiring 22 ingredients.
Here's what's in a Beyond Burger:
- Pea protein isolate
- Expeller-pressed canola oil
- Refined coconut oil
The Beyond Burger also contains 2% or less of:
- Cellulose from bamboo
- Potato starch
- Natural flavor
- Yeast extract
- Sunflower oil
- Vegetable glycerin
- Dried yeast
- Gum arabic
- Citrus extract (to protect quality)
- Ascorbic acid (to maintain color)
- Beet juice extract (for color)
- Acetic acid
- Succinic acid
- Modified food starch
- Annatto (for color)
According to Brown, this recipe isn't set in stone, as Beyond Meat is continuing to innovate and improve products.
Ultimately, Beyond Meat wants to create the "perfect replication" of meat products. Right now, Brown said, the company is about 70% of the way there.
"More so than worrying about competition, I worry about how we make the products that we currently have on the shelf obsolete by improving them," Brown said.

Mövenpick has opened its second Vietnam hotel in Hanoi, following an extensive renovation to the property. The management of the first to open, Mövenpick Hotel Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City, was taken over in July.

“Gaining a foothold in Vietnam’s largest city will help us to consolidate our brand in the region.”
The 154-room hotel, decorated in “warm earth-tones” and featuring modern furniture combined with typical Vietnamese elements, is situated in the centre of Hanoi.
It has two restaurants – an all-day dining venue, Mangosteen, and Lounge 83, which has an integrated wine cellar.
The gym and wellness studio, Kinetic, has cardiovascular equipment, a sauna, massage rooms and a VIP treatment room with a spa bath.
Four multifunctional conference rooms are available, with state-of-the-art facilities for between 10 and 110 people.
Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts has more than 90 hotels operating or under construction in 26 countries.

There's nothing better than celebrities keeping it real. We place them on such a high pedestal that it's always refreshing to have them remind us that they're real people, too, and not everything about them is totally glamorous. If we can count on any star to do that, it's definitely Mindy Kaling, who Instagrammed herself in Spanx, according to The Daily Mail, and made us all love her a billion times more.
The actor attended the 18th Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, but before she took to the red carpet in her stunning Salvador Perez gown, Kaling shared a snap of her red carpet prep on Instagram. And it's definitely not as glamorous as I was envisioning.
The picture shows The Mindy Project star wearing a pair of Spanx while applying deodorant. I mean, yeah, we all know stars get their hair and makeup done, but they also have to go through the nitty gritty grosser stuff like we all do. Props to Kaling for showing us this way more relatable side.
She captioned the post, "Awards Show prep. America's sweetheart," which was obviously meant as a joke, but in all seriousness, she totally is. This is a side of celebrities I wish we saw a lot more of.
This, right here, is all of us. And this is a few hours later:
Flawless. But it's even more so thanks to that behind-the-scenes look.
Check out these seven other times Mindy Kaling kept it real on Instagram, because she's seriously the most down-to-earth star.
1. Getting Highlights
Showing off the not-so-glamorous side of beauty maintenance.
2. Making Fun Of Herself
You won't find picture-perfect snaps on Kaling's Instagram. She totally loves to make fun of herself, like her hysterical comparison to dressing like Charlemagne.
So that's how she films nude scenes.
4. Getting Her Makeup Done
There's nothing fancy about a hotel bathroom.
5. Debating Fashion Decisions
The struggle is real.
6. Makeup-Free Selfies
And she even collaged it for us for the comparison.
7. Zit Cream
I don't care what anyone says, zits do not stop when you exit puberty. Thank you, Mindy Kaling!

Kylie and Kendall Jenner's first book may have been a critical flop, sending social hate the way of ghostwriter Maya Sloan, but never count out the ambition of the Kardashian klan. The upcoming sequel to their YA dystopian novel Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia will be called Time of the Twins and will be released November 15 by Regan Arts. But after the ghostwriter drama of book one, many wants to know: did Kylie & Kendall write their new book this time around? Well... no. Co-ghostwriters Elizabeth Killmond-Roman and Katherine Killmond will pen the Jenners' YA novel. Here's hoping they learned some lessons from the first go-around.
If you missed Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia and all of its titular colons, let me catch you up: Lex and Livia are twin sisters who grow up on the opposite sides of the spectrum. Lex grew up in an underground orphanage in Rock Bottom (no JKs, it's legit called Rock Bottom). Livia, on the other hand, grew up more like Kendall and Kylie, as a pampered heiress who longs to break free of her family's stifling sky island. Sky. Island. Now, in Time of the Twins the two girls just found out they are each other's twin, which is prohibited in Indra, and they must team up to escape. But, could Lex and Livia actually be the foretold twin saviors of Indra?
I have no spoilers, but of course they are, right?
"In our first book Rebels: City of Indra, we left Lex and Livia in a place where their future was uncertain," Kylie said in a statement. "Now, in Time of the Twins, you'll learn how these sisters struggle to get to know each other and deal with their fate."
After the swift and fierce backlash Sloan received when Rebels came out, who are these two women signing on to write the Jenner sister's second YA novel? Elizabeth Killmond-Roman is Kendall and Kylie's creative director (I now want my own creative director, pls). According to Sloan's interview with the L.A. Times, Killmond-Roman worked with the sisters on the outline for Rebels: City of Indra, which they then passed along to Sloan to build into the book. Katherine Killmond, according to her Regan Arts bio, is an award-winning television editor. She was not involved in Kylie and Kendall's first novel. Here's hoping they avoid the Internet bullying that plagued Sloan in the Jenner sisters' wake.

by Bryony Edwards / CACE
"Since this blog was originally posted the Victorian Government passed a new version of the local government act which now explicitly requires councils to act on global warming. Section 9.2c now states "the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the municipal district, including mitigation and planning for climate change risks, is to be promoted". You can find the new Victorian Local Government Legislations here."
Advice to councils on climate risk has been on the same trajectory for years now - ignorance is no excuse and can only increase your exposure. Indeed, councils are complaining they bear the burden of too much risk with minimal resources. Many council associations are pushing for higher levels of government to take more responsibility for climate risk and provide clear demarcation lines for where council responsibility starts and ends.
The current state of this legal and financial framework is captured well in a recent webinar (February 2020) delivered by Sarah Barker, the Global Head of Climate Risk Governance at international law firm Minter Ellison).
The examples used were from Australia and internationally and were focused on infrastructure and planning issues. The first port of call for a homeowner whose insurance claim is refused is usually the council, eg, Why hasn’t council done more to prevent the flooding? Why was construction allowed in a floodplain? Why didn’t council warn me about the risk?
Barker’s message for all councils is:
'There’s a financial and legal imperative to act and act now - across all [council] business, every decision that’s made. Ask how robust are the assumptions that we use in planning and how do we stress test against the plausible range of climate futures...sticking your head in the sand is no longer passable’.
Using modelling based on historical records rather than future scenarios counts as sticking one’s head in the sand. Force Majeure or ‘Acts of God’ don’t work with insurance companies as the frequency of acts of global warming rapidly grows. And assessing risk means accommodating for the worst case scenarios.
Avoiding litigation risk is key but Barker also provides examples of financial benefits for councils that properly assess and respond to climate change risk, including cheaper finance from new ‘sustainable’ loan products and lower insurance premiums and broader coverage for the council and the community.
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s recent risk analysis of their mortgage portfolio is highlighted by Barker. The Bank looked at five categories of risk in a 5x5 meter square grid across Australia. The five risks tested were bushfire, increasing windsheer, coastal inundation and freshwater flooding, and drying soil, which turned out to be the most significant risk for the bank, because drying soil messes with housing foundations, and drying soil can and is resulting from changing climate conditions.
So what are some concrete examples of what councils can do to avoid litigation and improve insurance and loan rates?
Bushfire - Planning restrictions; rehydrating landscapes using Sponge city strategies and increasing soil water; planting fire-retardant trees as breaks; consider the merit of new estates abutting bush or plantations.
Increasing windsheer - Pushing for a higher standard of construction in wind prone areas.
Coastal inundation - Purchasing at-risk properties and using them for dune building; revegetation and wetland restoration to reduce the impact of storm surges; preventing building from occurring in the first place; tidal walls, advocating up for state and federal action.
Freshwater flooding - Sponge city strategies; more porous surfaces; capturing excess such as in domestic water tanks, facilitating more moist and thus more absorbent soils; water sensitive urban design.
Drying soils - Sponge city strategies and appropriate regional strategies should help to alleviate and reverse this drying.
Aside from planning and infrastructure, how would council risk manifest in other portfolio areas such as waste and more broadly, community welfare? This probably remains to be seen; however, where neighbourhoods with no canopy cover are 10 degrees celsius higher than leafy suburbs nearby it’s not hard to imagine the litigation that might occur following a heatwave.
It’s worth also pointing out that all of Barker’s examples of risk exposure involve the resilience of the council community with regard to global warming, as opposed to councils’ political responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is a lucky coincidence that many strategies that build council resilience to global warming also reduce emissions. This includes across green space, stationary energy, waste, and roads. For example, planting trees helps mitigate extreme heat and sequester carbon dioxide; entering a large power purchase agreement for renewable power with other councils lowers power costs and reduces stationary energy emissions.
And Barker’s message to councils that pass motions to acknowledge the climate emergency is that:
‘You can’t just declare an emergency and not change the way things happen. You need a credible and reasonable approach to starting that journey. The declaration is a good way to signal to insurance companies that you take it seriously, but councils have to follow up.’
Where can councils go for risk management resources? Barker pointed to the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures as well as the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO. Naturally, the council doesn’t need to go it alone and can join with other councils for economies of scale.
Will councils be able to implement the sweeping changes that minimise exposure if they have not prioritised responding to climate risk? The answer is likely no. The change in how councils work and prioritise their work is so sweeping that these changes would not likely happen if competing with other priorities, and we have already seen this play out to some degree. As far as we know, no council has prioritised their climate emergency response as their number one priority after delivering their core services.
What would an emergency response by a council actually look like? CACE has developed a recommendation for a staged implementation for a climate emergency response on our website. In short, it boils down to the following:

GITA Releases White Paper on Defining GIS
12 Jun, 2005
GITA (Geospatial Information & Technology Association) has published a white paper, "What Is GIS: A Profession, Niche, or Tool?" that examines a long-running debate in the geospatial information industry: the very definition of a GIS (geographic information system). Whether it is defined as a separate profession, a niche technology included within the broader arena of information technology or a tool used across a wide array of professional disciplines, the question has raised strong opinions from a number of varied perspectives.
Including the opinions of individuals involved in recent exchanges on the GITA Web site and at its annual conference in March, the paper summarizes the positions of those who subscribe to at least one of the camps -- in fact, as the paper illustrates, many participants in the discussions argued from two or even all three perspectives.
The white paper, including a downloadable PDF version, is available at http://www.gita.org/resources/what_is_gis.htm.

Rethink Hanger uses plastic bottles to hang clothes. Imagine cutting down on plastic entering the waste stream and at the same time making something useful for yourself. This contraption allows you to screw two bottles into a plastic hook creating an item thatis in need.
The unit will cost 8 dollars per hanger, which is quite a nut to crack when you consider trying to fill a closet. Also you need to consider the extra room the bottles would take up over the dread wire hangers. If there was some way to melt or flatten them slightly this would be a fantastic idea.

A group of Christian physicians sued the state of California on Tuesday, claiming that last year’s revisions to the state’s 2015 assisted suicide law will force medical personnel to violate their conscience and participate in procedures they oppose on religious grounds.
The new regulations, codified in California Senate Bill 380, now require physicians who have objections to assisted suicide to “document” a patient’s request before referring that patient to another physician.
The objecting physician would have to educate the patient about aid-in-dying medication and procedures and transfer the patient’s files to another doctor who would provide the treatment.
In addition, S.B. 380 shortens the period between the legally required two separate notifications by a patient that they wish to undergo the procedure from 15 days to 48 hours. Documentation of the request — even if made to a physician who has religious or ethical objections to the practice — would constitute one of those required notifications, making the objecting physician effectively a participant in the end-of-life procedure, the lawsuit claims.
Compelling these actions, attorneys representing the Christian Medical and Dental Associations claimed, effectively “mandates that physicians engage in statutorily required steps to advance the patient toward assisted suicide,” according to the suit filed in federal court.
The new bill compels all California physicians “to provide patients with information about assisted suicide and to refer patients for assisted suicide against their religious, ethical, and medical objections to doing so, and leaves them open to criminal, civil, administrative, and professional liability if they do not comply,” the complaint stated.
The above comes from a Feb. 22 story in the Washington Times.

A newspaper misclassified its newspaper carriers as independent contractors, the Superior Court for the County of Sacramento has ruled following a trial in a class action for employees’ unpaid mileage expenses under Section 2802 of the California Labor Code. Sawin v. The McClatchy Co., No. 34-2009-00033950 (Cal. Super. Ct. Sept. 22, 2014). Although the newspaper carriers signed agreements stating they were independent contractors, set their own schedules and routes, and could hire their own workers, the Court found the newspaper exercised such significant control over the newspaper carriers’ performance of their duties that it “belie[d] the contrary pronouncement in the form contracts….”
Lorianne Sawin and others worked as newspaper carriers for The McClatchy Company, d/b/a The Sacramento Bee (the “Bee”). The carriers signed agreements with the Bee that stated they were independent contractors. The Bee could terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ notice or at any time for a material breach. The carriers also had the right to terminate the agreement.
The carriers could pick up the papers at any time at the Bee’s warehouses and set their own schedules, as long as the papers were delivered by a particular time. They could hire their own helpers and substitutes, purchase their own supplies, and wear their own clothes. The carriers provided their own vehicles and insurance. No specialized education, tools, or equipment were required to perform the job.
However, the Bee owned the delivery routes and the customer lists. It trained the carriers on the performance of their duties. If the Bee received complaints regarding a newspaper delivery, it would deduct penalties from the carriers’ compensation. The Bee also deducted insurance premiums from the carriers’ compensation and audited the carriers’ job performance. Many of the carriers worked for the Bee for years, signing renewable one-year contracts each year.
Under California law, whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor depends upon whether the hiring entity retains “the right to control” the manner and means of the workers’ performance of their duties. Ayala v. Antelope Valley Newspapers, Inc., 59 Cal. 4th 522, 533 (Cal. 2014). In making this determination, the California Supreme Court instructed that courts may consider:
- whether the work is part of the hiring entity’s regular business;
- the degree of skill required for the work;
- whether the worker provides his or her own tools and equipment;
- whether the worker maintains his or her own business;
- the length of time of the job;
- the method of payment; and
- whether the parties believed that they were creating an employment relationship.
Applying the test set forth in Ayala, the trial court ruled the Bee misclassified the carriers as independent contractors when they, in fact, were employees. Significantly, the court found that newspaper delivery was integral to the Bee’s business. The carriers picked up the papers at the Bee’s warehouses and delivered them to the Bee’s customers. Customers contacted the Bee with any complaints regarding delivery service, and the Bee tracked those complaints. The Bee trained the carriers regarding their duties and audited the carriers’ performance.
The court also noted the carriers were not highly skilled and did not supply any special equipment, other than their personal vehicles, to perform the job. The carriers did not hold themselves out as operating independent delivery services, with the Bee as one of their customers. Rather, they often worked for the Bee for many years delivering newspapers. This was inconsistent with their status as independent contractors, who typically are hired for discreet periods of time to perform a specific task, the court pointed out.
Although the agreements stated the carriers were independent contractors, they could not negotiate the terms of their agreements, and the Bee could terminate the agreements at any time. The court also pointed out the Bee deducted customer complaint penalties and insurance premiums from the carriers’ payments. “In short, the parties’ conduct here belies the contrary pronouncement in the form contracts of an independent contractor relationship,” the court stated. Accordingly, the court concluded the carriers were not independent contractors, but instead were the Bee’s employees, and thus entitled to mileage reimbursement and attorneys’ fees.
Misclassification of workers as independent contractors may have costly consequences. In addition to reimbursement of unpaid mileage, as in this case, employers could be liable for unpaid minimum wages and overtime, taxes, penalties, Social Security, Medicare and unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance premiums, and other employee benefits, such as health insurance, retirement benefits, bonuses, or paid time off. California employers using independent contractors should audit those relationships periodically to ensure they can defend the classification as appropriate under federal and state law.

Mosquitoes thrive off heat and humidity! With summer officially here, mosquito season is in full swing, making your chances of getting bit by one of these pests very high. Mosquitoes are small and annoying and their bites can pose a serious health threat to both humans and animals. Every homeowner wants to protect their family and pets from these pests and what better way to do so with a green alternative via the In2Care Mosquito Trap!
How In2Care Works
In2Care is a perfect solution to help prevent and eliminate mosquitoes throughout your home and property. This trap is unique as it lures in mosquitoes with a special green treatment inside the trap. Once mosquitoes enter the trap, the treatment transfers to the mosquito’s legs, where it is then spread to other breeding sites, like standing water or flower saucers. The spread of the treatment eliminates adult mosquitoes but also prevents the larva mosquitoes from developing further.
The In2Care Benefits
This trap is perfect for every residential home looking for a new, alternative green mosquito control method. Instead of spraying product around your yard, the trap is placed in a shaded, vegetated area where mosquitoes are likely to breed. The green treatment used to eliminate mosquitoes does not target beneficial pests and remains environmentally and pet friendly. In2Care provides your property:
- A no spray, discrete system.
- Elimination of all mosquito life stages – from larva to adult.
- Strategic placement around the home so the trap is always working.
Instead of constantly battling mosquitoes this summer, consider a new way in In2Care to rid mosquitoes and take back your yard!
If you’re interested in the In2Care System or would like more information, call 866-480-0947.

A new middle school that is being built in Draper as a replacement for Crescent View Middle will be renamed to honor the area in which it’s being built and preserve the nature of the historic Sandy area where CVMS has operated since 1986.
The Canyons Board of Education voted Tuesday, June 18, 2013 to name the new school Draper Park Middle School a name suggested by the Crescent View School Community Council. The Board of Education had asked the SCC to discuss the possibility of a new moniker because the school’s new site, at 13133 S. 1300 East, is outside the historic Crescent area, located in the southwest corner of Sandy.
At a May 30, 2013 meeting, the community council voted unanimously to urge the Board to change the school’s name, and selected Draper Park, Canyon Creek and Canyon Hollow as possibilities.
Board member Robert Green said the new name hearkens to Draper’s history. The city’s Draper Park School, which was built in 1912 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was named in honor of John R. Park, a prominent educator in the late 1800s who also taught school in Draper.
“That puts it into perspective,” Green said. “We value people who are trailblazers and value education in our communities.”
Board member Tracy Scott Cowdell also said the old Crescent View, 11150 S. 300 East, which will be used for the next few years as temporary housing for students whose schools are being rebuilt, should retain the name that ties it to its community. “The fact of the matter is that, yes, we are moving the school,” he said. “But the name should remain in the community.”
The Board last March decided to build the new middle school at the Draper location to move it closer to the majority of the students who will live within its new boundaries for the 2013-2014 school year.
The school, funded by the $250 million bond approved by the public in 2010, will have a 700-seat auditorium; an expanded cafeteria, kitchen and a spacious commons area; three academic wings that will house high-tech classrooms; a gymnasium with two full courts, fitness rooms; fully integrated computer suites and a media center with green screen TV production studio.

It’s National Small Business Week and we’re celebrating by honoring the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of small business owners everywhere. Small business owners are at the center and heart of every community. They create jobs and help the economy. They give back by sponsoring teams, donating goods and being great neighbors. And they inspire us to follow our dreams.
Let’s face it: Pretty much everyone knows someone who owns a small business. Maybe it’s your accountant, lawyer, baker or plumber. For me, that person is my mother, who for my entire life has owned and operated a small Italian deli and convenience store called Anne’s Country Market in Franklin, Mass. I’ve watched her work hard, grow the business and become a beloved member of the community. National Small Business Week is a great time to tell her that I couldn’t be more proud of her.
In honor of all the small businesses founded with a few dollars and lots of hard work, we’ve created seven new memes that capture the essence of what it means to be a small business owner. Go ahead and share them with your social media networks and any small business owners you love. And when you’re done, be sure to get out and support your local small businesses. Happy National Small Business Week!
1. While all of the memes on this list ring true, this one strikes particularly close to home for me. I once had to dress up as a lobster and wave at passersby in an effort to draw attention to my mother’s new seafood menu. Small business owners go the distance!
2. There's no better feeling than being treated like family when you visit your favorite local business. Like the song goes, it’s always nice to shop someplace “where everybody knows your name.” Here’s to the small business owners who treat every customer this way.
3. Small business owners are part of the backbone of any community. Here’s a salute to the many small business owners who take that responsibility very seriously and show it by dedicating time and money to support local charities, fundraisers, children's sports teams and more.
4. Getting a small business off the ground is extremely challenging. Just when you think you’re about to get ahead financially a key piece of equipment breaks or some other disaster strikes and you’re back where you started. This meme is designed to sing the praises of small business owners who refuse to quit, work hard for every dollar and never take a penny for granted.
5. Small business owners are some of the busiest people in the world. When an employee is out sick, it’s often the small business owner that has to step up, work extra hours and do the work of multiple people. And getting time off to spend with your family can be a daunting if not impossible task. But the best small business owners always find a way to make the time – even if it means bringing work with them.
6. Passion. Craftsmanship. Skill. Dedication. Drive. Focus. These are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of the many small business owners who do not stop until the job is completed to perfection.
7. Everyone in my family – including my three of my brothers, my sister, and many of our cousins and friends – worked in my mother’s store at one time or another. And that is still going on today. Here’s to the many small business owners out there who make work a family affair.

Learning & Teaching
Seminars involve students presenting previously prepared work to peers and a lecturer. This strategy is used to extend specific theoretical or practical concepts as well as introducing problem solving exercises. Seminars are used in most modules and provide students with valuable experience in presentational skills, blogs, wikis or podcasts, as well as providing staff with a method or assessing student-centred learning, while virtual learning environments such as Moodle, webinars, recorded lectures, allow uploading of course content, in cases where this may occur students will continue to benefit from staff contact/expertise.
Practical workshops are used extensively in a number of modules throughout the programme. In these classes students are able to practise and refine their skills in a supportive environment where they can get feedback from a member of academic staff. Practical workshops represent a valuable transition between theory and practice.
Case studies are a teaching and learning strategy which are employed in a range of modules. They also are a useful assessment tool. Students are presented with or asked to develop real or simulated complex problems which they are required to analyse in detail and then synthesise/present their own solution in writing or orally.
A key component of the learning experience is to invite business experts, academic and in practice, to provide insights into their research work or business activity. A network of experts help provide specialist knowledge as well as bolstering and promoting the credentials of the programme. Such experts might be invited as guest speakers or requested to provide a more interactive workshop experience where appropriate.

All students studying in Cardiff School of Management benefit from the team of dedicated tutors who provide a point of personal and regular contact for students.

Dr Catherine Wilson:
Programme Director for the BA (Hons) Management & Leadership at Cardiff School of Management, Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Catherine joined the Cardiff School of Management in 2010, and is a Senior Lecturer in HRM. Catherine has worked in the field of Human Resource Management (HRM )for the past 10 years within two business schools. She has taught local, national and international students at postgraduate, undergraduate and foundation levels.

Preparation and support is available for assessment through various activities designed by module leaders, personal tutors and library.
Employability & Careers
From the start of the degree students are encouraged to think about career, work and skills. The second year offers further opportunities to gain a compulsory work experience. The work experience module in year 2 (level 5) seeks to offer you real world experience. The work placement officers can assist in finding a suitable placement.
Alongside the degree and the practical skills students will obtain, the Cardiff Met EDGE also supports students to thrive in the modern world. Throughout the degree students will experience a range of opportunities to develop your ethical, digital, global and entrepreneurial competencies through problem-based learning, real-world industry case studies, and opportunities for work-based learning placements off campus. The Cardiff Met EDGE will ensure that students get a range of opportunities to develop transferable skills such as communication, team work and leadership.
It is expected that many graduates from this course will go on to obtain management positions across the public, private and third/voluntary sectors. The course also enables students to apply for leadership development programmes with companies such as Network Rail, Deloitte and Dunelm etc.
There are opportunities for students to continue their study at postgraduate level at courses with Cardiff School of Management, such as the MSc Human Resource Management, MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, MSc International Supply Chain and Logistics Management and the MBA.

I had a couple visit my studio yesterday, interested in my "Stitch & Slash" art so in getting all that work from storage, reminded me that I needed to change all the labels on my art that referenced old addresses and phone numbers.
This week, I've been experimenting with some techniques I learned from Jane Davies. Totally fun.
Many of you might know that I mount all of my Stupendous Stitching pieces onto wooden panels. My Stitch & Slash pieces hang freely or are made into totes or pillows. My Conversation series also hang freely since they are too large to be mounted on boards.

One of the landmark scenes in Morten Tyldum’s outer space thriller Passengers features starship passenger Aurora Jane (Jennifer Lawrence) taking a dip in the ship’s swimming pool. When the anti-gravity fails, Aurora is pulled into a large droplet of water hovering in the air.
Making the scene possible would require a combination of a real pool set built in Atlanta, shots of Lawrence filmed underwater, and extensive digital fluid simulations. These elements were brought together by visual effects studio MPC.
Cartoon Brew spoke to overall visual effects supervisor Erik Nordby about how the sequence was made, including the surprising findings behind researching zero gravity water and having to hold back on animating the water into too much of a creature.
Researching zero gravity water
One of the first things tackled by Nordby and MPC was how to simulate the water as it rose from the pool. Although still an incredibly difficult element to simulate, water in the form of waves or oceans has been done quite effectively in several recent films. But water from a swimming pool in zero gravity – that was a different story.
MPC therefore went through a round of R&D for how the water floating out of the pool would look. This began by simply moving sliders in the simulation software that dealt with gravity. “That applied a very maths-correct look to it,” said Nordby. “I guess it just meant that the people are doing the jobs that they’re supposed to be doing when they’re designing these sims!”
However, as tests continued the look had moved into what Nordby described as a “massive gelatinous bubble,” which didn’t initially feel as convincing as it could be. That’s when the R&D turned to what had actually been done for real with water in space, specifically on the International Space Station. And, it transpired, zero gravity water does look like gelatinous balls of water.
That look was then combined with a very specific direction from Tyldum, who wanted these bubbles to be something very terrifying but also very beautiful. MPC soon realized that what might work in this way was slow motion water. “Audiences are very sophisticated when it comes to intense slow motion, which is all over the internet – all that 10,000 frames per second stuff,” said Nordby.
“As soon as we didn’t just have the water floating, but rather we interrupted it in an extraordinarily slow way, then it still felt in zero gravity, but also fell into a world that made sense. It felt like something an audience had seen before and therefore felt real.”
MPC then built up caches and caches of the ultra-slow motion water in their software which then interacted with larger volumes of water, too. In total it involved simulating 180,000 gallons of water, along with secondary slow-motion splash elements, plus aerated bubbles, and other atmospheric elements.
Shooting Jennifer Lawrence in zero-g
As the water begins to lift into the air, so too does Aurora. The approach to filming Jennifer Lawrence took several turns. The filmmakers considered shooting the actress ‘dry for wet,’ meaning not immersing her in water at all. But since testing could not take place until the pool itself had been built (in the parking lot outside of the film stages in Atlanta), the ultimate method of shooting became ‘wet for wet,’ i.e., filming in the actual filled-up pool.
“I spoke to Jen about what that would mean and, with the stunt co-ordinator and special effects, we ran her through what we would need Jen to do,” said Nordby. “She was completely game. She’s very self-deprecating so her comeback was, she’ll try it but she might suck. But she didn’t suck; she was great.”
The ‘wet for wet’ shooting effectively involved shooting with an underwater camera system against an underwater greenscreen. Lawrence or her stunt double performed scenes while safety divers stood by. This included shots where the character would still be affected by zero-g, to a point. “At the end of the day it was getting her in a place where the buoyancy of the human body didn’t work against us,” noted Nordby.
A large amount of ‘techvis’ had also been carried out earlier to work out which body and camera positions adequately showed the effects of zero gravity. That governed how the scenes were shot, and a subsequent shoot after principal photography in another tank to acquire several close-up shots of Lawrence provided additional material. Since this was later in the schedule, it also meant MPC had had some time to work out how much of the initial ‘wet for wet’ photography could be used – one lesson learnt was to film the new shots in super-clear water which helped with compositing.
Finalizing the scene
The final shots were then a combination of all these things – the practical pool set, digital water, and elements of Lawrence – and occasionally a digital double of the actress. What made the scene that much more dramatic was a push from the director to not necessarily give the water any extra character.
“It kind of snuck up on us,” admitted Nordby, “where, as we pushed this water around, it started to feel like a water monster that was out to get Jennifer. But that’s not what Morten wanted. He wanted it to feel like it was just doing what it would do regardless of anyone else in the room, and that Aurora just happens to be caught in it. Essentially it’s a microcosm of the larger storyline which is that they’re trapped on this luxurious ship but it’s also their prison.”

The Indian used vehicle market is now full of options of different makes and models. Many of these vehicles are quite irresistible, especially if you’re an off-road enthusiast. Mitsubishi Pajero is one such common name in the used vehicle market, which is available at a fraction of the price of the new Toyota Fortuner of the Ford Endeavour. Many well-maintained Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs are priced at around Rs. 6.5 lakhs we have even combed through the listed used car vehicles to bring three choices, which highlight the availability of such well-maintained Pajero SUVs in the Indian used car markets.
Now almost all the Mitsubishi Pajero variants and models available in the Indian market are in exceptional condition. However, there are a lot of pros and cons linked with these SUVs. What are they and what should you keep in mind while buying these vehicles? Well, here is a detailed list of strengths and weaknesses of the used Mitsubishi Pajero available in the market and a better alternative, if any.
Simple and rugged
The Mitsubishi Pajero is a simple, no non-sensical SUV that offers a simple design and is very sturdy. Mitsubishi Pajero can take a lot of abuse and has a robust ladder frame chassis. The SUV is known for its durability and can outlive many other vehicles if given proper care.
A daily rider that can go anywhere
Most capable off-roading vehicles are not comfortable enough to be used as a regular vehicle. However, the Mitsubishi Pajero offers the 4X4 drive system with selectable low-ratio gear. This makes the Pajero extremely capable. The high approach and departure angle with a high lean over angle makes the Pajero a go-anywhere vehicle. But that does not mean that it loses out on comfort. The Mitsubishi Pajero is an extremely comfortable vehicle that can be used as a daily car for regular commutes.
A great street presence
The Pajero has been around in the Indian market for a long time now, and it is quite easily recognisable on the road. It gets huge dimensions that can stand out in the sea of vehicles on the road and can intimidate other vehicles too. The Mitsubishi Pajero offers a commanding road view and has a compelling road presence.
A good value for money in the used car market
Mitsubishi Pajero was mostly bought by the enthusiasts who knew how to keep the vehicle in top notch condition. However, a higher rate of depreciation ensured that mostly all the Pajero SUVs are available at a great deal in the market. This one makes the Pajero an irresistible choice.
All you need a friendly neighbourhood mechanic
To ensure that your previously-owned Mitsubishi Pajero stays in top-notch condition, all you need is a friendly neighbourhood mechanic who loves the Pajero as much as you do. The old Mitsubishi Pajero was not built around computers like the modern day SUVs. One does not need specialised software to mend these Pajero SUVs. All you need is a friendly mechanic who is willful to work around the problem by following the good old method of getting the hands dirty and greasy.
But it is not all rosy and good. There are a lot of weaknesses that can bog you down quickly when you start living with a used Mitsubishi Pajero.
Maintenance is not very difficult for the old Pajero SUVs but getting the spare parts can be a pain. The spare parts are very rare in India, and often one has to order from the international markets. So if you cannot predict the part failure well in advance, you will have to wait for the spare part to arrive, which may take days to weeks depending on the source or origin. It will mean a lot of downtimes whenever the vehicle breaks down, and a crucial spare part fails.
Non-existant service network of Mitsubishi
Living with a used Pajero would not be a regular affair where you can drop the vehicle to an authorised service centre and get it back soon after. Mitsubishi India has very limited service support, and the number of service centres is minuscule too. You have to find a trustable mechanic if you want to live a happy life with the Pajero.
Will not find a “moderately” used Pajero
Most of the used Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs in the market that is attractively priced will come with an odometer reading more than 1 lakh km. While the mechanicals of the vehicle is solid and it can gather more than a few lakh km reading on the odometer, a lot of preventive maintenance is needed to keep the vehicle running in top-notch condition. It will require much more attention than relatively new vehicles in the market, which means maintaining it will need a lot of capital.
Risk of ban
Vehicles of national capital region of India are already facing bans on old vehicles. While petrol vehicles older than 15 years are banned on the roads of the national capital, diesel vehicles only get to live for ten years. Such bans may get adopted by other states too. This means that the old Pajero will have a shorter lifespan due to such bans.
The used Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs are a great buy especially for the enthusiasts and people who know their way around cars. For living with it, one needs to have spare time and money to spend on it but no doubt, it will be a unique and memorable experience. However, people who want a more comfortable life with their used SUV and want to get vehicles with an affordable price tag in the used car market with similar characteristics of the Pajero, the first-generation Toyota Fortuner can be a great choice.

The fans and industry is congratulating Sacred Games 2 actress Kalki Koechlin as she expects her first child with rumoured boyfriend Guy Hershberg. The actress is 5 months pregnant and she just opened up on her pregnancy and told that she has already started feeling changes.
Interestingly, 6 years back, Kalki Koechlin was against motherhood when she was married to ex-husband and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. However, she told that in a few years that she just happened to think differently and realised the importance of family. Kalki also revealed that she is planning to deliver her baby through water birth. She told that she will travel to Goa by the end of this year and will deliver her child with the help of a midwife, the way her mother had given birth to her.
Kalki Koechlin reveals her pregnancy for the first time in a media interaction and she also told that what kind of parent she thinks she will become. “I know that I want to be an engaged parent. My concern is to connect with my child, not to have a particular rule, or expectation.”
Kalki also told that she and her boyfriend had decided a name for the child that will suit to both girl and boy, it is not a gender-specific. “I’ve chosen a name that works for either gender and that is representative of a gay person, because I want my child to have that freedom of movement under the many umbrellas of gender that we have", she added.

Diversity and tolerance to be celebrated at interfaith breakfast
As a community, our strength lies in our shared values of diversity and inclusion. As such, faith communities are an important part of our society, allowing the community to feel valued, supported and connected.
It is within this spirit that Australian Catholic University (ACU) will bring together leaders from across the religious and political spectrum this month to share a meal at the annual ACU Parliamentary Interfaith Breakfast. ACU’s parliamentary interfaith breakfasts have become a popular event on the calendars of both parliamentarians and the leaders of faith communities.
The University has endeavoured to bring these communities together alongside our community leaders and partners to share the common goal of fostering an appreciation of the sacredness of all life and a commitment to serving the common good. The event provides an opportunity to reflect on the important role that faith plays in our everyday lives and in making sense of the world.
This year, more than 50 parliamentarians will gather at Parliament House in Melbourne to have the opportunity to meet with more than 50 faith leaders from more than 16 religious traditions including various Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and other communities.
Five different faith leaders will deliver readings at the breakfast on leadership, service and community harmony, and pray for wise deliberations and good governance of parliament.
We are fortunate to live in a peaceful country that values human rights and the ability to observe our own faiths. These should not be privileges but fundamental to our existence as individuals and collectively as a community. Religion should always be a legitimate voice as a source of values within public life and within public affairs.
Together we can celebrate the importance of being able to express our faith, to explore our differences and rejoice in our shared beliefs. As leaders – whether in law, government, faith, industry, education or society – it is our responsibility to champion, uphold and protect these important freedoms so we can live in harmony and mutual respect.
The event is an opportunity to not only embrace and better understand our diverse faiths but also to reflect on ACU’s calling to serve the community. The event is a natural extension of the university mission to foster an appreciation of the sacred in life and a commitment to serving the common good.
ACU engages the Catholic intellectual tradition to foster an environment where both students and staff develop their unique gifts through reflection, service and intellectual inquiry. The Catholic intellectual tradition promotes engagement with and understanding of people of different faiths.
ACU held its inaugural Parliamentary Interfaith Breakfast in Sydney on March 2014. Subsequent breakfasts were held in Canberra in 2015 and 2017, and Sydney in 2018. Governor General-elect Sir Peter Cosgrove delivered the address at the inaugural breakfast. Subsequent events have included addresses by Prime Ministers, Premiers, and Opposition Leaders and other parliamentarians.
Professor Greg Craven is Vice-Chancellor and President of Australian Catholic University.

Visited my friend this Tuesday and got lucky to hug and pet two of her beautiful cats.
This was the first time I got to know Burmese breed so close and turns out that they are amazingly cute and friendly creatures and they purr non-stop! (I know they look a bit frumpy on my iPhone pics, but thats just me and my absence of photo skills)
Dita was very jealous when I got home in clothes covered with fur of other cats :D

Sometimes a CFO’s leadership style fits a new company perfectly. Pete Carlson, formerly finance chief of MiMedx, was one such example, stepping in to restore integrity after an accounting fraud at the biologics company.
But such situations may be uncommon. A new piece of CFO research from Accenture, the CFO Success Paradigm, found that many CFOs achieve limited success at their companies, often falling short of their self-set goals.
Why? For a CFO to be successful, make the right decisions, and executive on them, three variables must be aligned, said Accenture: the CFO’s leadership style, the company’s current strategic imperative, and the company’s culture.
When properly calibrated, these variables work together “like tumblers in a locking mechanism,” according to Jason Dess, senior managing director, global CFO and enterprise value services, at Accenture.
The four CFO leadership styles Accenture identifies are not much different than other organizations’ attempts at putting CFOs into categorical buckets. Deloitte’s Four Faces of the CFO was one of the early attempts.
A CFO typically will have a dominant style and the characteristics of other styles that support their approach.
Leader, global CFO and enterprise value services, Accenture
Accenture estimates that 32% of global CFOs are financial engineers; 32%, problem solvers; 13%, collaboration creators; and 23%, change agents.
The leadership styles are not “absolute,” cautions Dess. “A CFO typically will have a dominant style and the characteristics of other styles that support their approach,” he told CFO.
“It is hard for a CFO to change their leadership style completely, but [they] can certainly adapt over time as they learn and grow personally and professionally,” he said.
How a finance chief’s leadership style fits with the other two variables is what’s important. The four kinds of strategic imperative are:
- Continuous improvement
- Acceleration and growth
- Disruptive change
- Burning platform
The four kinds of company culture are:
- Growth mindset
- “Big-bet” focused
An example of a bad fit would be putting a change agent — a CFO good at driving transformation and executing big ideas — into a consensus-driven culture where the strategic imperative is continuous improvement. Change agents fit better in companies with a top-down culture facing a big, disruptive change or a crisis of survival (“burning platform”).
Dess said CFOs’ chances of success increase when they flex and adapt their leadership style and decision-making approach to the organizational culture. But a CFO misaligned with the culture or strategic imperative can also surround themselves “with people who can bring the skills that they are not strong at — i.e., [to] fill in the blind spots,” he said.
Some people lack that degree of self-awareness. “From my perspective, some CFOs are very self-aware. Others might do things subconsciously and have some awareness but maybe not full awareness — that would be the bulk of the CFOs,” said Dess. “And there is a small percentage that are absolutely not aware.”
More Collaboration Creators
While traditionally most CFOs are either problem solvers or financial engineers, Dess thinks in a couple of years, as fewer CFOs come from accounting, more will be collaboration creators — celebrating diverse viewpoints, building partnerships, and “motivating their teams to go the distance.”
Collaboration creators “embrace change, view it as an opportunity, and are proactive in identifying where change is required — and whom they need to pull in (inspire, motivate, rally) to solve complex enterprise issues collectively,” Dess said. “This is a critical element to deal with disruptive change successfully.”
According to the Accenture research, which involved interviewing more than 150 global CFOs, half of whom were at companies with over $10 billion in revenue, collaboration creators are twice as likely to achieve their organizational objectives.
But they don’t fit every situation. As the chart indicates, they sometimes lack urgency and focus, which could be a disaster in a top-down culture, for example, in a financial crisis (burning platform) when the CFO must “prioritize ruthlessly” and “make decisions quickly and decisively.”

Kano State Emirate Council has said that Ese Oruru has not been under the custody of the Emir or any official of the Emirate Council.
The Council also said that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, instructed the handing over of Oruru on Tuesday.
Briefing reporters over the recent development, The Emirate Councillor, Mahe Bashir, said that the Emir did not endorse the action of the abductor, Yunusa, as recently speculated.
Mr Bashir noted that the Emirate Council had since directed that an explanation be obtained from the Zone 1 Assistant Inspector General of Police with immediate effect, as to what took place after receiving the directives of the Kano Emir.
The Kano Emirate Council also called on Nigerians to make inquiries and cross-check all facts before spreading unverified stories that may cause disaffection among various peace loving groups.
Meanwhile, sources at the office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police with headquarters in Kano confirmed that Oruru has been transported to the Police headquarters in Abuja for onward hand over to her family.
The 14-year old Ese, allegedly abducted in Bayelsa State and taken to Kano for marriage under Islamic rites was released to the Nigeria Police Force on Monday.
It was gathered that the Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, instructed that she should be reunited with her family.

4 Things to Know: DaDa Soiree at C3 Lab
OCCUPYING A MASSIVE WING of C3 Lab in South End, DaDa Soiree: An Absurd Art Show runs through Sept. 16 at the creative-focused co-working space. The exhibition's official description says “this show is a platform for inclusion, questioning and celebration." Below, find four things to know about DaDa Soiree, from its early-20th century roots to its varied participants.
1. So what is Dada?
DaDa was both an artistic and literary movement that occurred on an international scale. Born out of tensions with the rise of nationalism and World War I, these artists created the movement to talk about the nature of art and to mock rampant materialism. Simply, it’s art in conversation with itself. Participants during the era it inhabited included Hans Arp, Hannah Hoch, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp.
2. How was this C3 Lab show born?
DaDa Soiree is a partnership between C3 Lab, April Marten, and Amanda Medina, though it was born from a debate that took place during a Charlotte Arts Chat meeting about the nature of producing art. That monthly meet-up is held at C3 and is led by Marten.
C3 has hosted several arts events and exhibitions since opening last year. Co-founder Glen Nocik says the space was always envisioned as a home for an exhibition like Dada Soiree. “We are an art-based co-working space for creatives and artists,” Nocik says. “We’re passionate about artists. We felt that Charlotte needed a place for stuff like this. We’re about community here.”
3. Who participated in the show?
The work in this show spans mediums and continents. More than 80 submissions, representing painting, collage, mixed-media, film, sculpture, performance art, sonic art, and more, adorn C3’s walls, floors, and a makeshift projection room, were accepted. An aggressive, guerilla-style campaign, with call-outs posted in spots across the city, garnered a majority of the responses. Organizers believe that artists gravitate toward tangible outreach, as opposed to relying solely on social media. “We’re all craving the making of art,” Marten says. “We didn’t want to rely on the digital [to promote the show]. We wanted to give a nod to the Dadas, who didn’t have that outlet.”
And though most of the work was produced by artists who are now Charlotteans, this show took a different approach to nameplates for the pieces.
“We asked each artist, instead of putting Charlotte on your label, if they’d like to put their city of origin,” Marten says. “Then we can create a conversation about where Charlotte comes from. It’s such a big transplant city.”
4. How can you see it?
C3 Lab has gallery hours during the day for this show. Check out the work during the timeslots of Monday through Friday, 11 a.m.-6:30 p.m. You can also make an appointment with Marten.

For many nonprofit leaders and their accounting and finance teams the annual audit can be a stressful and disruptive time, commanding considerable staff resources. This should be the exception, not the rule. There are year-round strategies to help make audit time a less stressful experience.
Storing required audit documents throughout the year
An auditor’s PBC list does not change much year to year so the documents required for an audit should not be a surprise. Set up a digital audit file each year and save the necessary documents as the year progresses, rather than trying to locate them at the end of the year. Some of the typical documents that appear on every PBC list include:
- Articles of Incorporation
- Board and Finance Committee Minutes
- New and Existing Contracts and Agreements
- The Accounting Manual
- The Personnel Manual
- Current Fiscal Year Budget (Board approved)
- Support for Cash Receipts and Accounts Receivable
- Support for Cash Disbursements and Accounts Payable
- Supporting schedules and/or reconciliations for all Statement of Financial Position accounts
- Signed Compliance Documents
Following compliance procedures monthly
Relative to Compliance Documents, there are several items that should be reviewed and approved by the CEO/Executive Director as part of each monthly financial close. Trying to gather these documents and the required signatures at the end of each year is not only stressful, but it is also noncompliant as it defeats the purpose of regular review by organization leadership. Examples of Compliance Documents for regular review and approval include:
- Bank Statements and Reconciliations
- Investment Account Reconciliations
- Journal Entries
- Payroll Summaries
Creating a monthly close checklist and workbook
Following a monthly close checklist will help to ensure steps are taken on a regular basis throughout the year to help prepare for the audit, including saving pertinent documentation, reviewing and approving Compliance Documents, and making the required monthly journal entries. A monthly close workbook should include many of the schedules that will be required for the annual audit. Updating and reconciling these schedules monthly will save considerable staff time when the annual audit rolls around.
External periodic financial statement reviews
Not all nonprofits can afford to deliver on their mission and employ the level of accounting expertise required for their organization. In this situation an external periodic review performed by a reputable accounting firm specializing in nonprofits is typically a low-cost investment and can be extremely valuable.
- A quarterly review, for example, may require only 2–3 hours of the reviewer’s time making the process very affordable for the nonprofit.
- The reviewer will identify red flags in the accounting file before they become significant and costly problems.
- The reviewer can train internal accounting staff as needed to ensure that mistakes are minimized in the future.
- If desired, the reviewer’s firm can provide higher level advice, as little or as much as needed, at the client’s request. This could include guidance on proper revenue recognition or assistance with the development of the optimal chart of accounts for the nonprofit.
There is no reason to lose sleep over your annual audit if reasonable efforts to prepare for the audit are consistently executed throughout the year. Internal planning and procedure development and/or assistance from an external reviewer will reduce anxiety during your audit season.
Looking for a partner to help you sleep better come audit time? We can help!

‘The Challenge’ Star Johnny Bananas Has a Surprising Dating History That Includes Gold Medalist Hannah Teter
Johnny Bananas has been a fixture on MTV’s The Challenge for 20 seasons because of his big personality, his skillful gameplay, and his love for targeting players he doesn’t like. The one thing the six-time winner doesn’t do very much on the show is talk about his relationship status, but he actually has an interesting dating history.
Johnny Bananas and Hannah Teter
For five years, Devenanzio was in a serious relationship with a woman he called “Hannah,” and it turns out that the mysterious Hannah is Olympic snowboarder and gold medalist Hannah Teter.
According to Yahoo in 2018, Johnny Bananas and Hannah Teter were even targeted by Celebrity Jihad, who released a sex tape that they claimed starred the couple. Neither Bananas nor Teter ever commented on the tape, but fans of The Challenge claim that the person in the video appears to be sporting Johnny Banana’s tattoos.
The relationship lasted from 2012 to 2017, and on Vendettas he mentioned their breakup.
“This is the first Challenge I’ve come on as a single man. The Banana has left his bunch,” he said during his confessional. “Me and my girlfriend for five years called it quits. So here I am: single and naked as the day I was born.”
Behind his hookups on ‘The Challenge’
Bananas has also hooked up with other Challenge contestants, including Camila Nakagawa, who he won the Battle of the Exes with in 2012 after they had a brief hookup on Cutthroat. Johnny and Camila seemed like an odd match from the beginning, he seems pretty laid back and Camila is known to fans of The Challenge for her extreme freakouts, usually while heavily intoxicated. In fact, rumor has it that Johnny only hooked up with Camila to keep her happy on Battle of the Exes.
Johnny Bananas also had a fling with Nany Gonzalez, his partner on the second Battle of the Exes season. Their pairing up came as a surprise to even the biggest fans of The Challenge, who assumed they had always just been friends.
On a War of the Worlds after show, Nany finally confirmed their more than platonic relationship and why it ended.
“[We] just started talking. I was living in Arizona and he’s in Southern California. So we just had this cool relationship… it is what it is.” She did say it was more than platonic but did not give details about how serious they got.
After a little while, “I cut him off and stopped talking to him because I didn’t trust him. Then, he and I didn’t speak or see each other until our first season of The Challenge together, which was Rivals 2.”
Johnny Bananas and Morgan Willett
Bananas and Big Brother winner Morgan Willett seemingly got together after War of the Worlds. After their elimination, the duo traveled the world together. Willett said it was nice getting to know someone outside of the reality TV world.
After two years together, the couple was confirmed to have split in 2021. One week after the breakup was announced, Willett claimed that her former partner had cheated on her.

Interaction of Iron Oxygen Carriers and Alkaline Salts Present in Biomass-Derived Ash
Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is a unique method that is developed for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate the climate change. In CLC, an oxygen carrier is used to convert the fuel and the produced CO2 is inherently separated from air components, which makes it suitable for CCS. The CLC of biomass is a way to generate negative CO2 emissions. However, interactions between ash and oxygen carriers are a tough challenge as biomass-derived ashes consist of large amounts of reactive ash-forming matter such as alkaline and alkali earth metals. As iron-based oxygen carriers are one of the most commonly used ones, the interaction of the pure iron oxide and biomass-derived ash-forming matter needs to be further understood to overcome the deactivating effects of ash components on the oxygen carriers. Even though ash components may exist in different forms, the effects of K- and Na-based carbonates, chlorides, nitrates, phosphates, and sulfates on the pure iron oxide were mainly investigated in this study. The effect of synthetic biomass-derived ash on the iron oxygen carriers was also investigated to reveal the phases causing agglomeration or deactivation of the oxygen carriers. Experiments were performed at 950 degrees C for 5 h under both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. After experiments, the obtained phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and elemental mapping was performed by using scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results showed that the Fe oxygen carrier was worst affected by KCl, KH2PO4, and NaNO3 in terms of agglomeration among the used salts. The presence of K and Si together in the ash caused a "bridge" formation between the oxygen carrier and the ash constituent, which increased the agglomeration. A strong Ca deposit on the outer layer of the Fe oxygen carrier was also observed when a mixture of salt was used to mimic ash. Even though some discrepancies were observed, generally thermodynamic calculations were successful in estimating the experimentally observed phases.

A phenomenon spurred throughout the past decade by Instagram influencers and fashion bloggers, street style is a form of fashion that can be traced back to the end of World War II. The rise of style-conscious magazines – initially targeted towards men – helped an increasingly visual understanding of metropolitan masculinity, as the traditional flaneur evolved into the modern sartorial appeal. From Terence Donovan’s 1960s black and white prints to Scott Schuman’s extensive online portfolio, street style photography has turned everyday urban scenes into a catwalk. Whilst Oxford’s historic backdrop signals tradition over vogue, the student population boasts a myriad of approaches to style. Student street style foregrounds functionality over the avant-garde, whilst still allowing for individual expression. This week we explore Oxford’s equivalents of Soho and Harajuku in an appreciation of student fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a cleanse work?
Juice cleanses are intended to replace meals, however we always recommend to listen to your body and do what you think is best. As your body adjusts to cleansing, you can expect changes in your sleep pattern, mood, and digestion. It's vital to stay hydrated throughout the entire cleanse.
Will I lose weight while cleansing?
Weight loss is a great side effect of a cleanse. But it's important to note that the main goal of cleansing is to eliminate toxins from the body, eliminate cravings, and reset eating habits. Weight loss varies for everyone during a cleanse, however on average it ranges between 2-8 pounds on a 3 day cleanse.
Can I eat solid food while on the cleanse?
For best results, we recommend sticking to the juices only as best as you can. But it's important to listen to your body, and if you feel that your hunger is more than just a craving, please stick to non-processed foods. Try healthy snacking such as nuts or the same fruits and vegetables in the juices.
For half day cleanses, please break your cleanses with wholesome light meals and stay away from excess sugars, carbs, and alcohol.
How often can I cleanse?
How often you cleanse is a personal choice. We suggest going on a cleanse whenever you feel like you need a reset and to change your eating habits. If you feel unusually tired, bloated, or just not yourself, it's a good time to cleanse. For the Immune Booster cleanse, this can be done more often as it's a great way to fuel your body with the nutrients it needs and prevent illnesses. As such, you can cleanse as often as weekly or monthly based your desired needs.
How long do the juices last?
We suggest drinking your juice within 5 days for maximum freshness and nutritional value. Once opened, juice should be consumed within 3 days. Juices must be stored in the refrigerator immediately upon receipt. If you aren't able to drink your juices immediately, you can store them in the freezer for consumption later.

Darryl Reed's Box Turkey Call Kits
There are a lot of good commercial turkey calls on the market ranging in price from $10 to $50. Among them are Gaskins, Knight & Hale, Lynch, M.A.D., Preston-Pittman, Primos and Quaker Boy. There are also an almost endless variety of excellent custom calls, such as the D&D we previously reviewed. Every turkey hunter that I have run into over the years has accumulated quite a collection of calls, hoping to find that one magic call that works under all conditions all the time. Sadly, that just isn�t going to happen. Most of us need more than one call.
Turkeys are among the most challenging game birds to walk the planet. Just when we think we have them figured out, they throw something new at us. With that in mind, we continue to try and find that one call to fool them all.
It was that mindset that lead us to consider making our own calls, as so many other hunters have done before us. However, we do not have the tools or patience to produce a really well crafted box call. Enter Darryl Reed.
Darryl retired at age forty (lucky man) and purchased 72 acres in Whitleyville, Tennessee, so that he could spend all of his spare time hunting and fishing. He spent hours in the woods listening to the turkeys talking and trying to copy the various tones and patterns. None of the various commercial calls that he had collected over the years truly matched the sounds of the birds. Oh, they came close, probably close enough to work for most casual hunters, but Darryl was looking for a perfect call, or at least a couple that would truly mimic the sounds of toms and hens during the mating season.
Because there were no commercial calls that satisfied him, he decided to build his own. He was fortunate in having the necessary skills and woodworking equipment that would enable him to produce a high quality handmade box call. He quickly realized that no one type of wood would work for all sounds. With that in mind, he came up with 26 different wood combinations that will satisfy the personal preferences of just about every turkey hunter in North America. The woods available are:
Paddle: Black Walnut, Purpleheart, Padouk, Cedar, Poplar, Sassafras, Osage Orange, Mahogany, Yellowheart, Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) or Black Cherry
Rails: Sycamore, Sassafras, Poplar, Butternut, Cedar, Cherry, Mahogany, Maple, Purpleheart, Yellowheart, Black Walnut, Osage Orange, Padouk, Sinker Cypress or Mulberry.
Base: Cedar, Black Walnut, Cherry, Sassafras or Poplar
Ends: Cedar, Black Walnut, Cherry, Sassafras or Poplar
Darryl has several kits already made up and posted for sale on eBay for about $11 with the �buy it now� option. The complete kit includes one paddle, two angled and pitched rails, one base with 2-1/8 in angled slots for the rails and two end pieces. It also includes one screw and one rubber bushing. He will combine shipping for on orders for multiple kits. Assembly instructions are included. Glue and Caulk are not included. However, if you don�t see one there with the combination of woods that you want, Darryl will make up a kit at no extra charge. Darryl�s address is: 1031 Pine Lick Rd., Whitleyville, TN 38588. His email is:� [email protected]
Not knowing which ones we wanted, I asked for his advice and Darryl recommended the following three kits: Black Walnut/Butternut, Purpleheart/Cedar and Purpleheart/Mahogany. We bought all three. Putting the kits together couldn�t have been easier. With the Darryl�s instructions, all you need is a little wood glue and couple of rubber bands. The pieces are precisely cut to effortlessly fit together with no sanding required.
The butternut and cedar rails give us the sounds of older and middle aged birds, while the mahogany rails produce a sound like a younger bird. The rubber bushing on the paddle allows you to �tune� your call to the sound of your local birds, if that makes sense.� We�ll carry a couple of these calls with us on opening day of the spring turkey season. We have �fine-tuned� our new calls using our pet turkey as a guinea pig. The poor boy is long past his prime at 14 years, but perked up and managed to gobble, despite his age, with each call. He may be old, but he isn�t dead! (Kind of like Jim!) We may not have found one call to fool them all, but with the three kits we bought from Darryl, we are close.
If you don�t have an old gobbler to practice on and want to fine-tune your calls before the spring season, you should visit the National Wild Turkey Federation website and listen to their pre-recorded sounds. They have clucks, purrs, putts, assembly calls and of course, the gobble, to mention a few. If you are a turkey hunter and are not a member of the NWFT, you should consider joining this excellent nonprofit organization that is dedicated to preserving and conserving the wild turkey and our hunting heritage.
As a closing remark, we would also recommend these kits to all the Dads and Grandpas out there who want to get their youngsters interested in turkey hunting. What better way to produce a lifelong turkey hunter than to have them make their own call and use it to bring a big gobbler running?

By Emma Burgos-Ramos
Mitochondrial energetic deficit is one of the hallmarks of neurodegenerative disorders, e.g. Alzheimer´s disease (AD). AD is one the main aging-related diseases whose prevalence increases from 65 years of age: approximately 46.8 million people worldwide are affected by AD and this figure will triple by 2050 . Therefore, it is indispensable to elucidate the physiopathology of AD to design new strategies to prevent, mitigate, and/or delay AD development. AD is characterized by an irreversible memory loss, partly triggered by the formation of extracellular senile plaques, accumulations of amyloid β peptide (Aβ), and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphophorylated tau protein, which negatively affect synaptogenesis . This dynamic neurobiological process is dependent on high levels of energy, provided by mitochondria. Specifically, the most amount of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) derives from the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
Adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with lower incidence of cognitive decline and AD and extra virgin olive oil’s (poly)phenols such as oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol (HT) are being actively studied in this respect. HT restores the impaired insulin signaling pathway in a cell model of AD and prevents cognitive decline in a mouse model of Aβ-deposition .
Emma Burgos-Ramos and collaborators assessed the effects of HT on a well-characterized mitochondrial dysfunction in a cellular model of AD. They reported an increases of the formation of new mitochondria post HT-treatment (figure 1), which was followed by higher mitochondrial fusion (figure 2).
Further, ATP concentrations were significantly increased after treatment with HT as compared with controls (Table 1).
Likewise, HT increased different markers of mitochondrial activity, such as ATP synthase and Aralar, proteins involved to obtain energy.
In conclusion, this study suggests that HT may revert the energetic deficit of a cellular model of AD by potentiating mitochondrial activity. Because HT is being proposed as dietary supplement or component of functional foods, future studies in appropriate animal models and – eventually – humans are warranted to further investigate its potential neuroprotective actions in AD.
Emma Burgos-Ramos, PhD. Associate Professor from Castilla-La Mancha University (UCLM) exerts her teaching vocation and investigation at the faculty of Enviromental Sciences and Biochemistry from 2015. She initiated her researching career publishing 6 papers, all of them about Alzheimer´s disease, in prestigious international journals of neuroendocrinology. During her postdoctoral formation she was granted with a prestigious contract from Instituto Carlos III of Spain, which allowed her to publish 17 papers in international journals of high impact factor about the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes in central nervous system and enjoy of two stays at the Universidad Clínica de Navarra and in Ohio University, where she carried out microarray profiles and proteomic analysis, respectively. She has also written several book chapters related to metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases. In 2014, she joined to IMDEA Food Institute as a junior researcher where she started to study the effects of hydroxytyrosol on Alzheimer´s disease and cognitive decline. Since then, Emma´s main area of research is focused on study the effects of different nutraceuticals from Mediterranean diet on neurodegenerative disease. This research line has generated 10 great articles up to now.

Needless to say, there will be spoilers in this article, so stop reading now if you want to go into Avengers: Infinity War knowing nothing.
It's no secret that Carol Danvers, better known in the Marvel Comics as Captain Marvel, will be joining the action of the MCU in time. What we don't know yet is when. Last year, CinemaBlend traveled to Atlanta to get the scoop on Joe and Anthony Russo's Avengers: Infinity War, and it was clear that the directors were working on weaving Captain Marvel into the narrative fold. Actress Brie Larson had a mailbox on set, and the creative team addressed her costume design, which they seemed very excited about.
Since the set visit, though, it has been confirmed that Captain Marvel's debut will be held for Avengers 4 -- she also has a solo movie planned for Mach 2019 -- but when we spoke with Infinity War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely about their process, they at least were able to tease the tone and mindset that the character of Carol Danvers will bring to the ensemble. Markus told us:
Carol Danvers' origin connects her to the military. In the comics, back in the 1960s, Danvers was an officer in the U.S. Air Force who gains her powers after an explosion that exposes her to Kree enhancements. It's complicated.
Brie Larson will bring the character to life in the planned Captain Marvel movie, which will be co-directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. We're confident that the character's origins will change from the books, but it sounds like the military fortitude and self-confidence will carry over, based on what Markus and McFeely shared.
Marvel Studios is telling audiences that they will not see Carol in Avengers: Infinity War, but I'm not buying it. Not entirely. I know that Joe and Anthony Russo filmed Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 back to back, and that there's now a clear distinction between the two movies. But if I had to guess, I'd think Captain Marvel shows up in a mid-credits scene of Infinity War, setting up her solo movie for next year.
For now, this is what Avengers: Infinity War will look like:
We will have plenty more from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Also, all of our Avengers: Infinity War set coverage can be found here. And you can bookmark our Upcoming Marvel Movies guide to stay up to date on all of the future happenings in the MCU.

Is "Dune" Worth Your Time?
On October 21st, 2021, the world was finally introduced to Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated Dune after a year of waiting. With a budget of $165 million dollars, well-known source material, and produced by one of the most esteemed directors of the modern era, it's safe to say that expectations for Dune were through the roof. But did the film deliver on its promises? Does it do justice to the source material? Is it as good as the world was expecting? Let's find out...
Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film is in fact the third adaptation of Dune so far. The source material comes from the 1965 novel of the same name by author, Frank Herbert. The 2021 film covers roughly half of the book. The first filmmaker who dared to conquer Dune was David Lynch for his 1985 film starring Kyle McLachlan as Paul Atreides, and if you know anything about David Lynch's Dune, you know it's not a project that is fondly looked back on. A much less notorious adaptation came in the form of John Harrison's miniseries from 2000 which was met with even worse reviews than its preceder. For the longest time it seemed like Frank Herbert's story was cursed, there was just no way someone could successfully take on a project that ambitious...until 2021.
Although it's not exactly an amazing merit, Denis Villeneuve's film is by far the best Dune adaptation so far. The cast, consisting of Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Mamoa, and Dave Bautista do an incredible job at bringing their characters to life. The costumes by Jacqueline West and Bob Morgan are mesmerizing, especially the still suits, ceremonial clothes, and the blue eyes of the Fremen. However despite the impressive performances costume design and story, the features that stands out the most are the production design and special effects. You can tell where every single penny of this film's budget went in terms of its jaw-dropping visuals. It reminds me of a slightly darker Star Wars. The sheer scale of the spaceships, palaces, and sand worms will blow your mind. In terms of scale and ambition, Dune is very similar to Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049. However, the same faults that were present in Blade Runner 2049 also apply here.
While Dune is a breathtaking film at times, it's not without its fair share of problems. Many people have refused to watch the movie in its entirety because of its runtime of over two and a half hours. Along with that, the pacing can be painfully slow at times. As someone whose seen films that have gone on for five or so hours I didn't mind but it can be a challenge for the more casual moviegoer. I've seen people describe Dune as "three hours of people rambling on about space politics with short perfume ads with Zendaya spliced in between." That's another issue that a lot of people have with Dune and that's the lack of their favorite screen darling, Zendaya. The term "Zendaya-baited" has since been coined, meaning people were persuaded to go see the film under the impression the actress would feature heavily when in fact her screen time probably adds up to five whole minutes. You'd think the presence of Timothée Chalamet would be enough to quell these viewers but apparently not.
In a lot of ways I can agree with the problems so many people have about this movie. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the sci-fi flick, I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few scenes that could've been shortened or cut altogether. A great deal of the film is clearly just being used to spout exposition for the confirmed sequel that will begin filming next year. I also would've loved to see more of what makes Arakis (the film's setting) so dangerous beyond just the sand worms and dust storms. It's something I found so interesting that I felt was severely under-explored. There's clearly a message of imperialism and capitalism present in Dune that could've been shown a lot more thoroughly but hopefully the sequel will meet my expectations.
Overall, I loved Dune, but it's not a film I'm expecting most people to enjoy quite as much. It's a film that requires a lot of patience and an affinity for science fiction. If you're going to choose any Dune adaptation to help get you into the series I would absolutely recommend this one. A film with this sort of budget only comes out once in a blue moon so you better catch it while you can. It's the new sci-fi epic the world has been waiting for, which means you should try to see it on the biggest screen as possible. It goes without saying but I will be patiently waiting for the next installment as best as I can.

Zimbabwe’s economy is expected to grow significantly in the next five years underpinned by the National Development Strategy One whose implementation begins this month.
Having successfully battled multi-layered economic challenges created out of successive years of rampant economic mismanagement and indiscipline, the introduction of the two-year Transitional Stabilisation Programme (TSP) has set a firm foundation to catapult the economy into the development phase.
Analysts say the economic stability currently obtaining sets in motion the successful implementation of the National Development Strategy One (NDS1) from this year to 2025.
Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce President, Dr Tinashe Manzungu says despite the economic headwinds such as the Covid-19 lockdown, the business community has embraced the policy document.
“The NDS’s eleven pillars are clear in terms of how all the key economic sectors of the economy will be financed and strategies to grow them. So as the 2021 starts, despite the lockdown, these sectors which include mining will obviously start to pursue the strategies enshrined in the policy document,” said Dr Manzungu.
Renowned economist, Mr Tony Hawkins predicts a prosperous 2021 based on the efficient implementation of NDS1.
Said Hopkins: “2021 will be different from 2020 and 2019 because agriculture will outperform the two previous years output and mining is expected also to defy the global lockdown to grow the economy.”
Another economist, Mr Persistence Gwanyanya expects diaspora remittances to be another building block for increased foreign currency availability during 2021.
“The central bank estimates are that at least one billion dollars will be earned form diaspora remittances and this will obviously augment the foreign currency for the auction system which has proved useful to the manufacturing industry,” he said.
Another analyst, Mr Collins Jonasi argues that unlike other previous economic blueprints, the NDS1, just like the TSP, will succeed based on the effective monitoring and evaluation.
“This policy document is unique because it is anchored on the results-based management system to track progress in all key sectors of the economy,” said Jonasi.
The National Development Strategy One is underpinned on accelerated economic growth with people’s incomes also expected to increase accordingly in line with improving standards of living.

Why Play Free Casino Games? play china shores online free Playing free casino games is fantastic for developing one’s own approaches and practice from the playing aspect of the game. Free casino games also are good for practicing and familiarizing oneself with the various rules. Many games, like blackjack, may require some element of ability so as to triumph. Playing with free casino games is like giving a kid a toy to play with; the child will learn to be careful in the procedure.
There are four types of free casino games available from the casinos; they’re named after the various levels of play or degrees of challenge. Basic gameplay is usually the most basic, and it is often the very first thing any gamer is going to learn when he visits the casino. The participant can choose to play against the computer or another player. It is not unusual to discover that most casino software employs the exact same type of gameplay.
Slots Games – Among the earliest casino games devised was that the slots game. Slots games have been developed to be a gambling tool for housewives who wished to make a little extra money at home. The housewives were the first ones that started playing slots games in the first 19th century when they discovered they might place their stakes by turning a wheel. Now, this type of casino sport is regarded as a kind of gambling, which may get you some quick bucks if you play with your luck.
Blackjack and Roulette are two of their most popular casino games now. In blackjack and roulette, you can bet either on a number or a pair of numbers. With a set of numbers, you can bet for a small quantity, or you’ll be able to bet larger amounts on both matches. There are also casino bonus packages that have blackjack and blackjack; the player can get free spins on these games using casino points or bonuses.
Online Casinos – The variety of internet casinos offering rewards is nearly as numerous as there are players. There are many different online casinos that offer varying rewards from bonuses to money prizes to free spins. These bonuses can include spins on popular slot machines or even blackjack and blackjack games. They can come in double diamonds free slots the form of credits that need to be utilized on particular machines, or the player can get to maintain them using real money.
Cash/Savings Raffles – Online casinos sometimes offer money or savings raffle packages. In such types of casino slots games, a participant has a chance to win real cash or gift certificates. The concept of saving money by playing online casino slots games may not always be the most appealing one. However, it’s an excellent way for players to get the experience of playing slots without taking their hard-earned cash with them. Bonuses and point systems can also be used with online casino slots games. These bonuses can either be earned through special buys from online retailers or they can be rewarded through registering for newsletters or perhaps entering matches for a opportunity to win real cash.
Online Slot Games – A new twist on the slots games is your multi-sink system that is now offered by many internet slot sites. Multi-sink slot machines generally offer a couple of single-sink play options. This is a great way for players to maximize their pleasure of casino games while still increasing their chances at winning big jackpots. Players who have mastered multi-sink slot machines should consider adopting this strategy at their next casino trip. It’s easy to understand why players would wish to go for a multi-sink slot machine whenever they’ve seen a few promising payouts from a single-sink machine.
Other Free Casino Game Bonuses – There are many other bonuses beyond the ones mentioned previously. Some casinos provide more bonus points for referral referrals. These referrals, subsequently, can award players with bonuses. Bonus points are good, but they can readily be exhausted simply by referring other people. Some online casinos really provide bonuses based on referral earnings only.

Gold on blue glass
Overall: 19.8 cm (7 13/16 in.)
Cornelia Blakemore Warner Fund 1961.44
The neckpiece was made separately and attached to the blown glass bowl.
Smoking tobacco was introduced to the Mughal court from Iran in the very early 1600s and soon became popular. This base formed part of a hookah, or water pipe, which consisted of a base that held water—sometimes perfumed with herbs or fresh fruit—a detachable bowl to hold tobacco, and a long tube. Early hookahs used existing vessels for bases, including coconut shells. By the late 1600s or early 1700s, richly decorated pieces like this were produced. The striking gold poppies on a cobalt blue background might indicate that opium was used in the hookah.

Did you ever think about how God felt the day Adam and Eve left Eden? They didn’t exactly leave of their own accord. The Bible says that God “sent him forth from the garden...”. We know, of course, that this was as a result of their rebellion. As I pondered the passage mentioned here, which is taken from Genesis 3:23, I decided to read a few commentaries on this phrase, “sent them forth from the garden.” One comment that really struck me was Matthew Poole’s commentary which says that this phrase is “the same word which is used concerning divorced wives.” Certainly, separation is a painful experience.
Which of you parents could do that? Divorce your child and put him out? How would you feel? Would you follow after him or her with, “....and STAY out!”? For the most part, I seriously doubt it. Most likely, IF you put a rebellious child out, you would spend a lot of sleepless nights, and perhaps even devise a way to get that child back home. The Bible tells us that we are made in the image of God. If we are made in His image, then--think about it--our feelings are a mere faint reflection of His. Of course, there’s the exception, but for a parent who loves their child, I believe that the pain in their heart would far exceed the fear of the future in the heart of the child. Certainly, there’s just something enduring about the love of a parent.
I believe we need to carefully consider these facts as we contemplate the “time of trouble, such as never was” Daniel 12:1. The reason I believe this is because of the things I hear people so often say: a fearful heart’s hand-wringing statements such as, “I don’t want to live my life in fear!”, or “I’m afraid I’ll die before I perfect my character!”, or “I don’t want to be lost!!”, etc. Right well we should fear an offended God, right? I mean, after all, He could crush me with a thought! Certainly, fear has produced her infidels.
The Bible paints a very different picture of God; one that I believe will turn our eyes away from a selfish concern for our own salvation. Selfish? How could I say such a thing? Go again to the parent illustration. Look at Luke15 and the familiar story of the prodigal son. We know he was selfish; that he only wanted what “goods” his father had to offer. He didn’t love his father. That is an interesting fact I think we should seriously ponder! “Although surrounded with the blessings of His love, there is nothing that the sinner, bent on self-indulgence and sinful pleasure, desires so much as separation from God. Like the ungrateful son, he claims the good things of God as his by right. He takes them as a matter of course, and makes no return of gratitude, renders no service of love.” Christ’s Object Lessons, page 200. Certainly God grieves, for He says, “Woe is Me for My hurt! My wound is grievous...My tabernacle is spoiled, and all My cords are broken: My children are gone forth of Me,” Jeremiah 10:19, 20.
In this story, as we are told in Christ’s Object Lessons, page 201, “The love of God still yearns over the one who has chosen to separate from Him, and He sets in operation influences to bring him back to the Father's house.” That selfish one, the one who only wanted the benefits; that one, God yearns over. “No sooner does the sheep go astray than the shepherd is filled with grief and anxiety.” Christ’s Object Lessons, page 188.
And as that one “comes to himself”, and, still selfish, but softening, turns his steps toward his Father, “he knows not that one is watching for his return. But while he is yet "a great way off" the father discerns his form. Love is of quick sight. Not even the degradation of the years of sin can conceal the son from the father's eyes. He "had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck" in a long, clinging, tender embrace.” Christ’s Object Lessons, page 203. Would YOU run to meet a rebellious child who, broken and needy had turned his steps toward home? You know you would run for all your might! And God? Certainly, “though all are precious in His sight, the rough, sullen, stubborn dispositions draw most heavily upon His sympathy and love; for He traces from cause to effect.” Education, page 294.
I find it interesting that Luke 15:17 says that the prodigal “came to himself.” In Ecclesiastes 9:3, it says that “...the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live...” This young man, while living in sin, was essentially insane, but when the Holy Spirit got through and he responded, he “came to himself.” This is repentance! Certainly, “we must know our real condition, or we shall not feel our need of Christ's help. We must understand our danger, or we shall not flee to the refuge. We must feel the pain of our wounds, or we should not desire healing.” Christ’s Object Lessons 158. Certainly, true love begins in our hearts with repentance!
What about “the other son” in the prodigal story? There is a very important lesson here. The elder son, the faithful, dutiful son, was very unhappy with the return of the penitent prodigal. Why? Certainly, pride has produced many infidels! (See 2 Corinthians 10:12,18).
“He who feels whole, who thinks that he is reasonably good, and is contented with his condition, does not seek to become a partaker of the grace and righteousness of Christ. Pride feels no need, and so it closes the heart against Christ and the infinite blessings He came to give. There is no room for Jesus in the heart of such a person. Those who are rich and honorable in their own eyes do not ask in faith, and receive the blessing of God. They feel that they are full, therefore they go away empty. Those who know that they cannot possibly save themselves, or of themselves do any righteous action, are the ones who appreciate the help that Christ can bestow. They are the poor in spirit, whom He declares to be blessed.” Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, page 7. Certainly (a warning to Laodicea) pride is the death knell to faith and love.
What does all of this have to do with “the time of trouble, such as never was” that we mentioned earlier? Everything! What would a parent do for a child in crisis? (And which of those two sons was really in the greatest crisis?) When the children of Israel were in the Egyptian captivity, what did God do for His people who were enslaved and fearful? He sent Moses as a deliver. Moses himself was about to walk into a long and serious time of trouble. And to Moses, the representative of Jesus on earth, in his fear to stand before Pharaoh and to lead God’s children out, God said, “Certainly I will be with thee.” Exodus 3:12.
In their crisis Moses and the children of Israel were given an object lesson in Divine parenting tactics and in Divine Fatherhood in the wilderness tabernacle. The Bible says in Isaiah 52:2 that, “your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.” Sin separates, and separation brings fear, just like it did in Eden and to the prodigal son. But what did God do? What did Love do? Love said, “let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8. Certainly, in separation, love gets as close as it can.
We need to think now about Jesus, the Second Adam. (See Romans 5). We need to think about Jesus on Calvary when He “feared that sin was so offensive to God that Their separation was to be eternal.” Desire of Ages, page 753. With all the accumulated sin of the ages piled upon Him, crushing Him, separating Him from the Father, what did He say? No! What did He SCREAM? (Matthew 27: 46 says it was “with a loud voice”). “My God, My God! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Did a child ever cry for a parents help when in trouble only to be voluntarily unheeded? Jesus did. What would you do? How would you feel, as a parent, not to be able to rescue your suffering child, let alone CHOOSING not to do so. Certainly, God so loved that He gave...
Pondering this parental example, can we imagine that the God Who “brought us into existence because we were needed” (Signs of the Times, April 22, 1903) would do less than everything to rescue us? Didn’t Jesus, in our flesh, experience a far greater test of faith than we could ever be called to endure? When fear cries out, “The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.”, The Father responds, “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” Isaiah 49:14,15. Certainly, God wants us in heaven far more than we want to be there!
I remember that time when I was a child and I was riding my Mom’s horse in our round pen. Something spooked the horse and we parted ways in spite of my efforts to hold on. I don’t remember my flight, but I do remember that awful landing. But you know, that landing was completely eclipsed by what I looked up to see. Now, as you picture this, you have to understand that my mother is only 4’11”, and our round pen was at least as tall. I looked up from my humiliation just in time to see my mom taking very large strides towards the pen and, without breaking stride, put one hand on top a post, swing her legs over the boards with the agility of a track star, and with another stride or two, scoop me up in her arms. I’ll never forget it. Remember now, we are created in God’s image. Would God do less if His child were to fall? Ah! Certainly, more than that, He says He is “able to keep you from falling.” Jude 1:24.
So what is that element that will most readily lock the longing soul in fear for it’s own salvation, and thereby in a morbid fear of that “time of trouble?” I believe it is ignorance of the love of God. Certainly, “there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18. Certainly, when we understand God’s character then, “herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: (WHY?) because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17. Therefore, in our own great time of trouble, “our only questions will be, What is God's command? and what His promise? Knowing these, we shall obey the one, and trust the other.” Desire of Ages 121. Certainly, “if you are right with God today, you are ready if Christ should come today.” Maranatha, page 98. Certainly....”Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
As I ponder the Father in the light of our parent/child illustration, and in the light of our tendency to waywardness, pride and fear, I can’t help but think of how He must long for this separation to end. What normal parent could be happy knowing their child lived in fear that they were not loved, or in fear of being cut off from the family, or even in a pride “too good” to really come near? The fear that the Bible says we are to have toward God is actually respect and love! We must remember, it is love that truly keeps the commandments! (John 14:15). Hasn’t our Creator suffered enough from our unbelief? Certainly there needs to be, in a very real way, “Salvation to our God,...and unto the Lamb.” Revelation 7:10.

The cloud just got bigger. The deal we’ve all be waiting for: NVIDIA and Microsoft announced this they’re working to bring top PC Xbox Game Studios games to the GeForce NOW library, including titles from Bethesda, Mojang Studios and Activision, pending closure of Microsoft’s acquisition.
NVIDIA and Microsoft’s 10-year deal to bring the Xbox PC game library to GeForce NOW is a major boost for cloud gaming and will bring incredible choice to gamers. Work to bring top Xbox PC game franchises and titles to GeForce NOW, such as Halo, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls, will begin immediately.
Now how will all this be accomplished? There are a number of things you need to know about this deal. We’ll go over a number of points from this article from The Verge which highlights the process from start to finish directly from the VP of GeForce Now, Phil Eisler.
First thing to know is that this agreement allows Nvidia to have streaming rights to these Microsoft games for 10 years once they onboard them to the platform. The agreement is to release new titles day-and-date or as close to day-and-date as they can with the PC release of the games. Also, this agreement would be questionable if Microsoft decides to sell the studios off though.
So speaking on onboarding, the games will take some time. As you know updates every week are only a handful of games. Since Steam and Epic Games are already integrated, they will start with Xbox PC games from these distributors first in the next few weeks. Which games are going to be added first? We don’t know. My guess is that HALO would be in that first list along with Forza since these titles were in the announcement.
Another thing to note that the Microsoft Store will be added as another distributor so purchased games from the Microsoft Store catalog will added but this integration will take 6 to 12 months or so. So me personally, I would expect random Microsoft games to be thrown into the lineup every week along with the others. This is my take though. We’ll see what happens. I’m sure this onboarding process will take even longer if the Microsoft Activision deal goes through.
PC Game Pass?
So what does this mean for PC Game Pass games? This one is still up in the air. Eisler “We have no announcement about Game Pass right now”. So all we have is speculation on this. My take is that it might work like how the EA and Ubisoft games on Game Pass work on GeForce Now already. If there is a PC game on Game Pass that is in the Microsoft Store AND on GeForce Now, I can see this working.
We’ll have to test this theory out once the Microsoft Store gets integrated. And the last thing you should know is that Eisler said that this deal came together just last week and companies “haven’t worked on detailed implementation plans yet”. I’m guessing he meant other than the plan for GeForce Now to implement games immediately.
So that’s the gist of what you need to know about the deal. Ultimate members can now access cloud-based RTX 4080-class servers in and around Paris & Chicago, the latest cities to light up on the update map. Keep checking GFN Thursday to see which RTX 4080 SuperPOD upgrade is completed next.

Sunday March 31st Tenacious toys will be doing a simultaneous release of two Exclusive Colorways of the Resin KiD iNK iNDUSTRiES Sumo Trooper on two different websites as a part of their Super Series Sundays!! The Sumo Trooper is a 3-inch tall resin figure created by Kris Dulfer each sold in sealed blind bags. The price for a Sumo Trooper on each website will be $30 + shipping.
"We're really excited about this Super Series Sundays release because it's the first time we will be enlisting another website- Hazarai- in the release of a toy," said Benny Kline, owner of Tenacious Toysâ¢. "Hazarai is a geek-centric ecommerce platform, so it's the perfect partner to co-release Kris' Star Wars-themed resin figure."
The Sumo Trooper has been cast in two main colorways: Tenacious Blue and Hazarai Red. The Blue Sumo Troopers will be available exclusively on the Tenacious Toys⢠Super Series Sundays page, and the Red Sumo Troopers will be available exclusively in the KiD iNK Hazarai shop.
To spice things up, Kris has created chases for each site: there's one Golden Ticket hidden in one of the 15 Hazarai Red Sumo Troopers, and some glow in the dark figures, a few handpainted chases and another Golden Ticket hidden amongst the 25 Blue Tenacious Toys figures.
Figures on each website will be sold blind, so the chases and Golden Tickets will be hidden amongst the orders, mystery-box style.
Thursday, October 13, 2016 - 3:36pmThe New York native Tenacious Toys brought an utter buttload of customs to NYCC. Cat Atomic and UNCLE Studio dominated the booth, while minifigures from Touma and a variety of other artists ensured there were designer toys to buy across price points.
Wednesday, September 28, 2016 - 3:27pmTenacious Toys are brining airbrushed goodness to NYCC courtesy of UNCLE Studio. Cosmic ultralandscapes are comprised of stars, galaxies, and nebulae, and adorn a Calevarita, Mecha Dunny, Storntrooper, and Atropa Dunny.
Wednesday, August 10, 2016 - 2:11pmIt's not easy to find Mechatro WeGo figures in the US. The official store only has a few items for sale and anything at Big Bad Toy Store sells out quickly. So Western fans assumed they'd be out of luck when they saw 1000toys' collaboration with Hatsune Miku.

Efforts by the business community and government to protect employees and the public from the COVID-19 virus have led to a tsunami of business closures and massive losses in income, estimated in the billions of dollars in the U.S. alone. It remains to be seen whether business interruption insurance coverage, designed to cover for a business’ loss of income under certain circumstances that impair or suspend its operations, will provide relief to businesses impacted by COVID-19. Given insurers expectation that a wave of business interruption claim filings is coming, these policies are now under the microscope.
What Is Business Interruption Insurance?
Business interruption coverage is designed to provide businesses with protection for loss of income resulting from an event that directly or indirectly affects a business’ flow of income. Business interruption insurance is a packaged product, commonly offered as part of commercial property insurance policies. Typical business interruption coverage is triggered by a physical loss or damage to an insureds property that impairs that business’ stream of income and is often paired with extra expense insurance to cover unexpected costs that are necessary to continue operations in the event of a covered loss. For businesses reliant upon a supply chain, contingent business interruption coverage provides income protection to businesses that lose profits as a result of an interruption of business at the premises of a customer or supplier.
Business interruption coverage is generally triggered when the policyholder, customer or supplier sustains “direct physical loss of or damage to property”, such as damage caused by fires, explosions, hurricanes and other natural disasters. However, it is questionable whether a pandemic virus, like COVID-19, is a “direct physical loss” which triggers coverage. Given the devastating impact of COVID-19 on today’s increasingly interconnected and globalized businesses and supply chains around the globe, we should expect an increase in claims and coverage litigation are coming with policyholders arguing that viral contamination amounts to “direct physical loss”, and that government mandated closures or preventative measures render their property uninhabitable, thus triggering coverage.
In the first-known lawsuit touching on these issues, a New Orleans restaurant filed a petition seeking a declaration that its “all risk” commercial policy should cover its losses which stem from the state-mandated closure resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. In its filing, the restaurant argues that the virus can remain on hard surfaces for days, the “direct physical loss” requirement is satisfied thus triggering coverage. This restaurant owner, and other business owners suffering losses of income, appear to face an uphill battle.
Business interruption claims are highly complex and raise a myriad of both coverage and claims issues ripe for litigation. Aside from the question of whether standard business interruption policy language covers a pandemic, courts are expected to determine the applicability of specific and less-than-specific policy exclusions and coverage under ‘civil authority’ provisions. Is there potential for coverage under pollution legal liability policies? Even if a policyholder can overcome coverage hurdles, fact-based questions await. Is actual contamination of a premises required to trigger coverage? What proof is needed to prove actual contamination? Is infection by an employee sufficient? Does an insured have access to reliable methods of testing? Can insureds claim an impossibility exception based on unavailability of reliable testing? How long does the virus last on surfaces? If contamination is proven, how long is a property considered ‘uninhabitable’? What is the duty of the insured to mitigate actual contamination? How are economic losses measured? What is the duty of an insured to mitigate economic losses through remote work, utilizing alternative supplier, etc.?
A Lot of Stake: Potential Costs
According to an Allianz report, between 2013 and 2018 business interruption claims totaled over $66 billion, with the average claim valued at more than $3.4M, and is approximately 39% greater than the average claim value for corresponding direct property damage ($2.4M). Analysis of claims data has shown a general shift towards business interruption claims. This trend poses problems for insurers, as BI claims are typically more complex and take longer to resolve.
Insurers Will Push Back
The first line of defense for insurers is specific exclusions. Following the SARS outbreak in 2004, insurers were forced to cover business losses arising from the outbreak. In response, insurers began to write specific exclusions for “loss or damage caused by or resulting from a virus… that induces or is capable of inducing physical distress, illness or disease.” Even where a policy does not specifically exclude communicable diseases, insurers are likely point to analogous cases reviewing typical business interruption policy language. For example, a 6th Circuit Court of Appeals case found that bacterial and mold contamination was not “direct physical loss” under the language of the policy.
Given the widespread government action in response to COVID-19, policyholders are expected to seek coverage under ‘civil authority’ provisions common in business interruption policies. Civil authority provisions provide protection for lost income arising from the suspension of business operations due to an government mandates, such as curfews, evacuations and other restrictions on access to places of business by customers, employees and owners. An example of common policy language provides coverage only when “an action of civil authority that prohibits access to the described premises due to direct physical loss of or damage to property, other than at the described premises, caused by or resulting from any covered cause of loss.” (emphasis added).
However, based on prior precedent in analogous events, policyholders may not be able to look to such coverage for relief. Again, the question of whether COVID-19 contamination is a “direct physical loss” remains. Additionally, business interruption coverage may not apply where damage to property has not actually occurred and a government’s closure mandate is taken in anticipation of, and to prevent, possible damage in the future. There are numerous examples in which courts have tossed out business interruption claims resulting from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which led to a nationwide restriction of air travel for several days, and from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, both of which led to mandatory evacuation orders issued in advance of the hurricane’s landfall and remaining in effect for a time thereafter.
Will Government Step In?
Policyholders best opportunity to recoup their losses may be to rely on government action and pressure.
A bipartisan group of Congressional lawmakers have already begun to pressure insurers to cover business interruption losses arising from COVID-19. In Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and other states legislatures, bills have been filed to retroactive require coverage for COVID-19 losses under general terms of such policies in certain circumstances.
Insurance executives responded with a statement that business interruption policies do not, and were not designed to, provide coverage against communicable diseases such as COVID-19. A group of state insurance regulators also issued a warning that forcing insurance companies to pay the massive number of business interruption claims could threaten the solvency of the insurance sector and further threatening an already-strained economy.
Recognizing the potential impact of government intervention, the insurance industry has discussed a proposal for a federal program directing money to businesses, similar to the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an alternative to a massive wave of claims. This proposal, insurance executives argue, is a more efficient means of providing businesses with immediate liquidity rather than going through a lengthy and complex claims process.
As of this writing, Congress passed a $2 trillion stimulus package which is awaiting the President’s signature. This relief package includes $350 billion for small business owners in the form of “forgivable” loans, effectively turning them into grants. These “business interruption” loans provide relief to small business owners including payroll obligations to ensure employees are retained, utilities payments, rent, mortgage interest and other operating costs and obligations. However, while the relief package is touted as including “business interruption” relief, it appears this relief does not include protection to businesses loss of income. Without action by the federal government, states legislatures are beginning to take up this issue on their own, creating the potential for a tangled web of laws and regulations for the insurance industry to follow on a state-by-state basis. Given this, expect the insurance industry to apply pressure to the federal government to take action and provide clarity.

Do your homework. Be on time. Eat your vegetables. Wear your seatbelt. Say Thank You. Be kind. It seems as if most of life consists of someone telling someone else what to do. Why? Is it because we can't remember or is it because we don't know. Or, is it that we can remember and we do know but we don't value it enough to do it on our own.

Jesus spoke to the people in parables - not only that, he seemed to think in parables, acted out parables - he was a walking parable. Parables are almost unknown elsewhere in Scripture, yet they comprise a huge proportion of Jesus' teaching to those around him, and through them, to us. He always intended his parables to have life-changing implications: in fact he defined them as being what determined those who were alive to his message, and those who were not. So, what impact have Jesus' parables had on your life. Have they changed yet? Terry Johnston will help you make sure that is so.

When you were 17, what did you want to be?
So when I was 17, I had a bit of a different situation than most teens. A month before I turned 17, I became a mom. So that’s not the norm. But I actually knew I wanted to be a secretary (back then the term administrative assistant had just started floating around). Although I was firmly planted in this, no one was excited about it, everybody thought that was where you start and you work your way up from there. They didn’t think that being a secretary was noble, but I did. I really thought of it as you get to serve people; not everyone can be the CEO, not everyone can be a founder. I always saw it as a really pivotal role and I was not swayed by anyone’s opinion. In fact it probably made me more determined.

As regular readers of our blog will attest – we love innovation. Our joy at the creative thinking of others does not confine itself to the tech industries. We love nothing better than reading, hearing and seeing others push the envelope.
However, it just so happens this blog does indeed champion a tech innovation, a tech innovation from none other than the BBC.
The Micro Bit is a pocket-sized computer, 4cm by 5cm (1.6in by 2in), which the BBC aims to give away to around one million children in the UK this coming October.
The aim is to give the computer to every child, aged between 11 and 12 years of age. The project, created by a coalition of 29 partners including British microchip designer ARM and Samsung, is designed to kickstart the number of secondary school children who will leave school with coding skills in the future.
BBC Learning head Sinead Rocks said: “The BBC Micro Bit is all about young people learning to express themselves digitally.
“As the Micro Bit is able to connect to everything from mobile phones to plant pots and Raspberry Pis, this could be for the internet-of-things what the BBC Micro was to the British gaming industry.”
The Micro Bit will be a wearable device, with an add-on pack, which will need two AA batteries, and features include a programmable array of lights and two buttons and a built-in motion sensor.
The idea behind the Micro Bit is to encourage children to write simple code. They can save their code via a new website, which is accessible via PCs and tablets and mobile devices. Once saved they can test their programs on the site before transferring them to the Micro Bit via a USB cable or wireless Bluetooth connection.
The Micro Bit can then be made to interact with its built-in sensors and buttons to make its 25 LEDs flash in different patterns, letting it display – for example – letters and numbers.
In addition, it can be connected to other computing kit via its input-output rings – including the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Galileo – to carry out more complex tasks.
The BBC’s director general Tony Hall said the device should help tackle the fact children were leaving school knowing how to use computers but not how to program them.
“We all know there’s a critical and growing digital skills gap in this country, and that’s why it’s so important that we come together and do something about it,”
As we said earlier, the BBC has been targeted recently over the licence fee, so it would be perfectly reasonable to ask how is the Micro Bit being funded – from the licence fee?
Well, the good news is the vast majority of the costs have been covered by the 29 partners the BBC has worked with on the project. For example, ARM has done much of the work on the design of the device, while it’s Microsoft which has developed the software.
We have to say we are all for it. The BBC’s director general, Lord Hall, said at the launch that this project was rooted in the corporation’s mission to educate as well as to entertain. It’s seen as being an echo of the very successful BBC Micro which gave many people an introduction to computers in the 1980s, and the hope is that it will inspire the next generation of tech pioneers.
Bring it on!
Until next time…

Whether you’re planning to attend an Ivy League school, or you want to start out at community college, it’s important to find the right fit. There are so many colleges and universities out there that there’s no reason you can’t find one that suits your needs and preferences.
But how do you go about choosing the perfect college?
You have to start somewhere, so talk to your high school counselor, do some research online, or ask around with your friends and family to start making a list of colleges you may be interested in. As you go deeper with your research, you’ll start to get a feel for each school, and you’ll start to get an idea whether you would fit in there.
Once you have narrowed down your list to a few top picks, it’s time to take the next step – college visits. In this article, we’ll talk about the importance of college visits and how to do them right.
Why Is It Important to Do College Visits?
The college application process is very time-consuming, and it can be stressful knowing that every detail of your application could be scrutinized. When you work that hard to put together the perfect application, you want to know that it’s being sent in the right direction. If you don’t take the time to visit and learn about the schools you’re applying to, it could be wasted effort.
On the other side of things, completing a college visit can help you get a better feel for the schools you’re applying to so you can tailor your application for each school. If you have the opportunity to talk with an admissions counselor at the colleges you visit, don’t pass it up! Take the chance to ask questions about the school and about your application as well as anything you can do to improve it.
Simply making a college visit can show the admissions team that you’re seriously interested in the school. Colleges are concerned about their yield rate – the number of accepted students who choose to enroll – so if you show a keen interest in visiting the school, it could improve your chances of being accepted. Of course, there are no guarantees.
Though making college visits is a great way to get the information you need to fine-tune your application and to show the school that you’re really interested, it’s also important for helping you make your final decision. It’s hard to tell by perusing a school’s Facebook page whether the campus culture and attitude is a fit. On a college visit, you’ll be able to explore the campus, meet some of the teachers and students, and see whether you can really picture yourself going to that school.
These are just a few of the reasons college visits are important, and your own reasons may be very different. Keep reading to learn how to make the most of your college visits this summer.
Tips for Preparing for College Visits
Many students wait to visit a school until they’ve been accepted, but the fact is that visiting a school beforehand can help you decide whether you want to apply at all. You may think that you love a certain school based on the information you’ve read and then find out in a visit that the college culture and atmosphere is just not a good fit.
Before you jump in the car and head off to your first college visit, there are a few things you should do to prepare. Here are some simple tips:
- Finalize your list and do some additional research. You don’t necessarily have to visit every college that is on your interest list but prioritize the schools at the top of the list and do a little extra research, so you know what questions to ask and what to look for when you get there.
- Start by checking out the school’s social media pages. Visiting the school’s Facebook page and other social media accounts is a great way to see what kind of activities the school is involved in and to get a feel for what kind of students go there. It’s also a great way to see what kind of events might be happening when you make your visit.
- Plan around prospective student days. You can complete a college visit whenever you like, but if you really want to make the most of your experience, consider scheduling your visit to coincide with a prospective student day. These events typically include a campus tour, interaction with students, and activities that really give you a feel for the school in a short time.
- Contact the admissions office ahead of time. If you just want to take a quick look at a school, you could just drive up and walk around. If you really want to get the full experience, however, you should inform the admissions office of your intentions and see if you can schedule a campus tour and a chat with an admissions officer.
- Don’t forget to check out the surrounding area. Even though you’ll be spending most of your time on campus, you should still check out the surrounding area. You may prefer to go to school in a big city or a small town, but you’ll only know what’s around if you check it out yourself.
- Consider planning a college visit weekend. If you’re considering multiple schools in the same area, try to visit them all in one weekend. Not only is this a great time-saver, but it will help you compare and contrast the different schools while your impressions are still fresh.
As you start planning your college visits, try to maximize your time. Make sure you have enough time to spend at each school so you can really get a feel for things but don’t feel like you have to linger if you’ve gotten the information you need. Keep reading to learn how to get the most out of each visit.
How to Get the Most Out of Your College Visit
There is no exact formula for the perfect college visit because every student’s needs and interests are different. If you’re attending college for a specific program, your focus might be on the academics. If you’re attending community college to complete some prerequisites, the atmosphere and campus culture may be more important.
These are important things to think about before you start planning college visits because it will help you use your time efficiently. If you really want to get a feel for each school you visit, however, there are certain things you should do.
Here are a few things to include in your college visit checklist:
- Campus tour (self-guided or official)
- Talk with an admissions officer
- Sit in on a class in your desired department
- Talk to current students
- Visit campus facilities (ex: dining hall, dorms, etc.)
- Check out the surrounding area
Now, let’s take a closer look at each of these things and how to get the most from them.
1. Take a campus tour
Starting your college visit with a campus tour is a great introduction to the school. If you plan ahead, you can schedule a tour led by an admissions officer or a current student so you can really make the most of it. You can always wander around the campus yourself if you just want to take a quick look at things, but a guided tour will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions as you go along.
During your tour, try to really be engaged in the experience with the goal of getting a feel for the school and how you would fit in. Check out flyers and bulletin boards to see what kind of activities are going on and see if you can find a school newspaper. After the tour, you can venture out on your own to take a closer look at the things that interest you.
2. Talk with an admissions officer
In addition to taking a campus tour, you should also talk to an admissions officer. Even if you don’t sit down for a full interview, it’s a good idea to check in with a representative to show the school that you’re interested and to get the information you need to guide the rest of your visit. If you have questions or specific things on your list that you want to see, the admissions office is the perfect place to get that information. They’ll also be able to provide you with brochures and class schedules if you want to get a better feel for student life.
After talking with the admissions officer, be sure to get their contact information. It’s a great idea to send a quick email thanking them for taking the time to talk to them and reiterating your interest in the school. These little things can make a difference because they’re all part of showing the school who you are and demonstrating your interest.
3. Sit in on a class in your desired department
As a student, you’ll be spending a great deal of time in class, so it’s a good idea to sit in on one if you can. If you already have a major in mind, communicate ahead of time with the head of the department to see if you can sit in on a class and, even better, have a quick chat with the professor afterward. Sitting in on a class will help you get a feel for the teaching style at the school and for student participation. Make sure the classes suit your style of learning.
In addition to getting a feel for professors and teaching styles, you should also take a closer look at the classrooms themselves because they can give you clues that are good to know. Are the classrooms big or small? Are they set up with tables or is it stadium-style seating? Check out the technology in each classroom as well to see how up-to-date the facilities are.
4. Talk to current students
One of the best ways to get a feel for a college is to hang out on the quad and to stop by the dorms. Though academics may be your priority when you go to college, you still want to have opportunities to meet and make friends with other students. If the school doesn’t provide common hangout spots, or if students don’t tend to use them, it’s probably not a good sign.
If you talk to the admissions office before your visit, you might be able to schedule a sit-down with a current student. Better yet, that sit-down might happen in the dining hall so you can check out the facilities and talk to a current student at the same time. Take this opportunity to ask the questions you might not ask an admissions counselor about things like dorm life, extracurriculars, and amenities. The more information you can get about a school, the better, so take advantage!
5. Visit campus facilities
Visiting classrooms is a must when you make a college visit, but don’t forget about the other campus facilities, particularly the dormitories and the library. Most colleges provide some kind of athletics facility, and many are just as good as professional gyms, if not better. Even if you don’t see yourself working out every day, it’s still good to have the option. If you do plan to use the gym, see if you can find out whether the sports teams have their own facilities or if you’ll be sharing them.
In addition to athletics facilities, be sure to visit the library, student center, and dorms. Even if you don’t plan to study in the library as much as your own room, it’s still important to make sure the library is a good resource. It’s where you’ll be doing a lot of your research and it will likely house other facilities like computer labs and group study rooms. The student center is another great place to visit because it is another place for students to hang out but may also be a hub for certain amenities like the student health center, mail room, and book store.
Another important thing to check out on your college visit is the dormitories – especially freshman housing. In most cases, freshman housing won’t be the newest or the nicest, but it’s all part of the college experience. Get a feel for the layout of the dorms, the size of the rooms, and other amenities such as common spaces, kitchens, and study areas. You may also want to talk to students or admissions about whether on-campus housing is guaranteed your first year.
6. Check out the surrounding area
After checking all of the boxes on your campus visit list, it’s a good idea to venture out into the surrounding town or city. It shouldn’t take long for you to get a feel for the area outside the campus and to determine whether the college and the town have a good relationship or not. See if you can visit some local businesses who might be willing to answer questions about the dynamic between the school and the town because this could impact your experience as a student.
In addition to getting a feel for the dynamics in the area, you should check out local attractions. See what kind of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options are available for the times when you want to get off-campus. It also helps to know how far the school is from important things like a major hospital, shopping malls, and other interests.
Alternatives to College Visits
Sometimes making a physical visit to a certain college just isn’t in the cards. Whether you have too many other plans for the summer or the school is simply too far away, it may not be practical or possible to make the trip out to see a college for yourself.
So, what do you do to get a feel for the school if you can’t actually visit it?
One option is to spend some time on the school’s website and see if you can find a virtual tour. Many schools have their own virtual tours online, or you can check a website like YouVisit which has tours of hundreds of schools. Even something as simple as checking out the college’s social media pages can help you get a feel for the atmosphere on campus.
Another option is to call the school and ask whether they are sending representatives to any college fairs in your area. If you can’t visit the school to talk to an admissions rep, you may be able to get one to come to you. If you’re really interested in a school, talk to your high school counselor to see if they might be able to work something out with the school. You may even be able to get a phone call with a current student so you can ask questions.
Attending college is a major decision and not one you should rush. Taking the time to complete college visits will help you get a feel for the schools on your list so you can make the right choice. Put to use the tips you’ve learned here to make the most of your college visits this summer!

Nowadays, providing your customers with seamless and unforgettable experiences during their journey with your brand is more relevant than ever before. In the era of digitalization and hyper competitive markets, customer experience optimization can make your brand: from building customer trust, reducing churn, and increasing retention and loyalty to growing your brand, upselling and generating more revenue.
Although companies used to believe that the best way to stand out from the competition was through their product, differentiation now lies in improving consumer experiences through personalized omnichannel experiences. So much so that 79% of consumers will stop doing business with a brand after having just one bad experience and, moreover, 86% of consumers say they are actually willing to pay more for better experiences. In other words, ignoring any window of opportunity to improve customer experience is a flat mistake.
In this article, our experts explore the what, why and how of customer experience optimization so you can reap the benefits of an optimized customer experience!
What is customer experience optimization?
Customer experience optimization is the ongoing practice of leveraging data to improve your customers’ interactions with your brand –from the very moment they see an ad to the moment your product is in their hands.
A good customer experience (CX) takes into account each of these individual touchpoints throughout the customer journey, and it entails delving into the complexities of a problem and determining which levers you can pull to make a positive impact, rather than applying a blanket approach for resolving everything at once. You can upgrade your customers’ experiences in many ways, such as:
- Providing personalized experiences
- Meeting –and better yet, exceeding– consumer expectations
- Creating omnichannel experiences
- Replying to queries more quickly
- Guiding users to where they want to go faster
- Reducing confusion throughout the journey
In short, CX optimization is the practices brands put into place to keep consumers happy and coming back for more. As you can see, a good CX is more than just delivering a great service or product, it’s about creating smooth, coherent and enjoyable experiences from start to finish.
At this point, you might be thinking: “Sure, an optimized customer experience seems great –but why is it so important?”. Below we explore why exactly more and more brands are putting CX at the front and center of their business strategy.
Why is customer experience optimization so important?
Customer experience optimization tends to focus on offering experiences that are simple, seamless and tailor-made for each consumer. However, rather than only focusing on specific engagement touchpoints such as billing and replying to online customer queries, the optimization of CX aims to shape experiences —not just deliver a service.
A recent PWC study found that a whopping 52% of Americans believe companies need to up their game when it comes to consumer experiences. This, in turn, translates into a huge opportunity for brands to differentiate themselves from the rest through an optimized consumer experience. Let’s take a look at some statistics that show us exactly why CX optimization is so important:
- Brands with effective omnichannel CX strategies retain 89% of their customers on average, compared to 33% of their peers with unoptimized strategies.
- 49% of consumers have made spontaneous and impulsive purchases due to personalized experiences.
- 48% of online shoppers say they abandon a website when they feel it was not well curated for them.
In addition, experience-driven businesses achieve 1.9x brand awareness and 1.9x customer retention, while growing revenue 1.7 times faster than companies that don’t focus on experiences, according to an Adobe survey.
In other words, CX optimization is essential because it helps brands improve customer retention, lower the customer acquisition cost, boost customer satisfaction and, thus, generate more revenue by upselling and cross-selling. A happy customer is crucial to drive revenue and build awareness that brings in new customers.
How to carry out an effective customer experience optimization.
To stand out from the rest, brands must have a strong Customer Experience Management model that dramatically improves and personalizes consumer experiences and their (customer) journeys. At Conexio, we understand that customer experience optimization can seem like a daunting and overwhelming task to undertake. It might be tough to know where to begin with so many different areas to examine and improve on. So, we’ve compiled a thorough list for you to get started. Let’s dive in!
1. Adapting to a data-driven, customer-centric mindset.
To stay competitive in today's business landscape, companies need to adopt a data-driven, customer-centric mindset. This means that they need to put their customers' needs and preferences at the forefront of their business strategy, and use data to gain insights into their behavior and preferences.
So, let’s talk about the main key to your CX optimization: data. Having both quantitative and qualitative customer insights is critical for a fruitful customer experience optimization. While surveys and consumer interviews can provide the more qualitative insights, customer data comes into play for the quantitative insights.
Quantitative data gives you the opportunity to learn about your customers —who they are, how they connect with you, and what they want from your brand. Consumer insights not only help you decide when and what to market to them, but also how. Essentially, customer data allows you to personalize each touchpoint and provide seamless experiences that fulfill –or even exceed– your customers’ expectations of you.
One way to achieve this is through the use of a Customer Data Platform (CDP). A CDP is a software platform that allows businesses to collect, manage, and activate customer data from various sources in a combined view. Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), for instance, is a renowned CDP that provides a unified, real-time view of customer data that can be used to deliver personalized experiences across channels and devices.
Let's take a look at some of the key benefits of using Adobe's CDP:
- Unified view of customer data: Adobe Experience Platform allows businesses to unify customer data from various sources, including online and offline interactions, while creating a single, real-time view of the customer.
- Personalization: With a unified view of customer data, brands can create personalized experiences for their customers across channels and devices.
- Real-time data activation: AEP allows businesses to activate customer data in real-time, so they can deliver personalized experiences at the right moment.
- Machine learning and AI: Adobe’s data platform uses machine learning and AI to analyze customer data and deliver insights that can be used to improve customer engagement.
- Security and compliance: AEP is built on a secure and compliant foundation, so companies can trust that their customer data remains completely safe and protected.
Simply put, adopting a data-driven, customer-centric mindset is essential for brands looking to stay competitive in today's market. By using a customer data platform, such as Adobe Experience Platform, brands can unify their customer data, deliver personalized experiences, and improve engagement.
2. Understanding and creating a journey map.
Creating —or optimizing— a customer journey map is a critical part of CX optimization since it will help you understand the different stages of your customers' experiences and identify potential pain points across the consumer journey. In other words, it helps you to put yourself in your customer's shoes and understand how each consumer interacts with your brand at every touchpoint.
To create a complete, effective journey map, you will need to collect as much data on your customers as possible, including their behavior, preferences and pain points. As mentioned above, you can easily collect all of this data with the use of a customer data platform. Of course, you can also gather qualitative data through customer interviews, surveys, social media, and customer feedback. The more the merrier!
By analyzing this data, you can identify the key stages of your customers’ journeys, from the awareness and consideration stages to the purchase stage and post-purchase stage. Once you’ve identified the key stages, you can then map out the touchpoints that customers have with your brand at each stage.
This includes both digital and physical touchpoints (when applicable), such as website interactions, email communications, phone calls, and in-store experiences. If you understand these touchpoints, you can identify areas where your brand can improve the customer experience while tackling any given pain point.
Now, remember we talked about the Adobe Experience Platform CDP? Well, it’s also a powerful tool that you can use to create a successful journey map for your customers. By leveraging a customer data platform to create a journey map, you can gain a deeper understanding of your customer's experience and use this knowledge to optimize the customer journey. This can include personalizing communications, providing relevant ads, guiding your consumer to where they want to go, and creating a more seamless journey from initial awareness to post-purchase.
3. Optimizing across touchpoints.
Now that we’ve explored all about collecting data and creating a journey map, let’s dive into the different ways in which you can continue your customer experience optimization across touchpoints:
- Adopting an omnichannel vision: Taking on an omnichannel approach is about providing a seamless and consistent experience across channels —be that in-store, on a website, on social media, or email. This requires a deep understanding of the customer journey and focuses on delivering relevant and personalized experiences at each stage. In short, an omnichannel vision helps you deliver cohesive experiences.
- Personalizing experiences: Personalization is essential to delivering a great customer experience. Customers expect brands to understand their needs and preferences, and to deliver relevant content and offers. The easiest way to personalize every interaction your customer has with your brand is through a CDP. For instance, the Adobe Experience Platform allows you to create detailed customer profiles, segment audiences, and deliver tailor-made content as well as specific offers based on behavior, preferences and other data points.
- Increasing content velocity: By increasing the speed at which you deliver relevant content, you can ensure that your customers always have access to the information they need, whether that’s product information, support resources, or other content.
- Deploying AI and Automation solutions: Automation and AI can help you deliver personalized experiences at scale. For example, you can use chatbots to provide quick and efficient customer support or use AI to recommend specific products or content. Start by identifying the areas of the customer journey where automation can have the most impact. Then, look for tools and technologies that can help you automate those processes, such as chatbot platforms or AI-powered recommendation engines.
By following these best practices in your CX optimization journey, you’ll be creating consistent, relevant and engaging experiences across all touchpoints and delivering a more satisfying experience for your customers.
4. Analyzing the results, rinse and repeat.
Examining the results of your initial customer experience optimization is a crucial step to ensure that you are meeting customer expectations and improving their overall satisfaction. By analyzing the data, you can identify what is working and what isn't, and make informed decisions on how to continue upgrading your customers’ experiences with your brand.
You can use metrics such as customer retention rates, conversion rates, and customer lifetime value. Moreover, you can ask for feedback from your customers through surveys, focus groups or interviews since this can provide valuable insights into their experience with your brand. Crossing both your qualitative and quantitative data is sure to help you identify pain points and areas for improvement and develop strategies to address them.
Using data analytics and machine learning tools can also help to analyze the results of your CX optimization efforts. In fact, these tools can provide deep insights into customer behavior and help you to identify patterns and trends that may not be immediately apparent.
Once you have analyzed the results, it's important to rinse and repeat the process. Customer experience optimization is an ongoing process, and using data to inform your decisions is critical to boost revenue and drive business growth.
In conclusion, customer experience optimization is a crucial aspect of any brand's success in today's hyper-competitive market. It involves leveraging data to improve the customer journey and create seamless and enjoyable, tailor-made experiences for consumers. Optimized customer experiences improve customer retention, loyalty, and satisfaction; resulting in increased revenue and company growth.
To carry out a fruitful CX optimization, brands must adopt a customer-centric mindset, utilize CX platforms to make effective decisions based on data, optimize across touchpoints, and continuously analyze results to rinse and repeat. By implementing these practices, brands can create a strong customer experience model that dramatically improves and personalizes consumer experiences and their journeys.

Laser remelting of thermally sprayed coatings is a promising possibility how to improve their functional properties. However, it requires precise control of processing parameters to achieve desired depth of remelting. In this study, the near-infrared (NIR) camera is used to measure the achieved depth of remelting during diode laser remelting of HVOF sprayed coatings. Possibilities how to evaluate the temperature field in the melting area are presented. The width of melting pool is calculated and it shows high correlation with achieved depth of remelting. The study shows that the NIR measurement can be used for controlling the depth of remelting during a laser remelting of coatings.Keywords: Laser remelting, HVOF coatings, heat post-treatment, infrared diagnostic

Letter to Investors | PDF
As I write this letter, stock markets around the world have spent much of the last three weeks selling off sharply. After peaking on January 4, the S&P 500 has fallen over 12% from that high. This, after it returned over 28% last year (including dividends). In fact, most indices were up double-digits last year and many, like the S&P, were up well over 20%. How can investors bounce from optimism to pessimism so quickly? It’s actually very common. Remember, the market doesn’t require all investors to turn pessimistic to go down sharply. Less than 5% of shareholders deciding to sell at the same time is enough to induce a sharp decline in stock prices. That decline is enough for the other 95% to wonder, “Maybe I should sell too?” and away you go. Before you know it, the market is down 10% and all the media is in a tizzy.
At times like this, it’s important to evaluate the realities of the market and the economy; in other words, what we know about the present versus what we don’t know about the future. What we know is that the economies in the U.S. and developed countries around the world are continuing to expand from the pandemic-induced global recession of two years ago. This expansion will naturally slow over the next few years but will most likely continue. The delta variant of COVID, which was receding at the time we wrote our October letter, has been replaced by the omicron variant, which has once again frightened much of the public and policymakers. At this point, omicron appears to be following the standard trend of virus evolution: it is more contagious and less lethal than prior variants. It’s still very dangerous, of course, but this is the pattern we have previously discussed, and we expect it to persist as COVID continues to mutate. Each variant will scare the markets as worries of economic slowdown emerge, but we expect these cycles will simply produce a “wave action” to economic progress.
We discussed inflation last quarter, namely, that we expected it to degrade over time as production and transportation problems are slowly repaired. That is still our view. We have seen such post-recession supply problems before, notably back in the mid-1980s, and they do eventually get better. The labor shortages will not improve as quickly, which is why we expect inflation to normalize at around 3% per annum when all is said and done, rather than the 2% (or less) rate we’ve seen in the last decade. But the economy and the markets can adjust to that rate rather easily without much damage to financial assets. And, as we noted last quarter, it’s not a bad sign that there are unfilled jobs around. That’s the sign of a strong economy, not a weak one. It may mean that corporate profit margins are reduced somewhat, but we note that they’re at all-time highs anyway, and that corporate profits this year should be at record levels. More people working and making more money isn’t a bad thing; it’s the lifeblood of any economy.
What is new is that the Fed has decided to become an inflation-fighter. (At least they’re saying they are.) People are always worrying about Washington and politics. Mostly, they’re worrying about the wrong things. Their primary worry out of Washington almost always should be the Fed. This is one of those years where the Fed’s action should be considered a key risk factor.
The problem is that the Fed really can’t do anything to fix the fundamental inflation problem, which is restricted supply. All they can do is dampen demand, which would also hurt economic growth. The stock market sold off recently, in our opinion, because it feared that an overly aggressive Fed might just come up with a “cure” for inflation that “kills the patient.” Our best guess of Fed behavior in the year ahead is that they will raise rates a few times, the financial markets will sell off, and they will stop. As we noted above, we think it’s likely that inflation will cool with or without Fed tightening.
But the Fed is always under pressure to “do something,” which means we are probably going to see a fair amount of volatility this year as the market worries about what the Fed might do. But with the economy expanding nicely and corporate profits strong, we think the wise course of action is to remain optimistic for the year and beyond. In fact, years of higher than normal volatility often give us good buying opportunities, especially when the underlying economy is strong (which is the case now).
One more thing: years of higher-than-normal volatility are often years of higher-than-normal emotions for investors. This is dangerous. As we’ve advised many times, investing should not be an emotional endeavor, but a rational one. In fact, emotions are the enemies of successful long-term investing. As COVID, Fed actions, and other factors create gyrating markets, we can all benefit by striving to keep our emotions in check.
We appreciate your confidence in us.

Accelleron has signed a five-year Turbo UptimeCare™ agreement with Conrad Energy to deliver turbocharger servicing across the company’s more than 60 power generation facilities in the UK. The agreement is expected to dramatically improve turbocharger uptime across the power provider’s installed base.
Conrad Energy, an independent provider to the UK’s national electricity grid, had capacity of more than 700MW in 2022. The company selected Accelleron due to its wide deployment across Conrad Energy’s 400 engines and its strong service capabilities for turbochargers. Turbo UptimeCare™ is a modular service agreement tailored for users of high-speed stationary engines for power generation. Powerplant downtime is minimized between overhauls via the availability module, which guarantees the delivery of an exchange unit within a few days of planned maintenance. The use of exchange units from Accelleron’s turbocharger pool means that customers are not subject to the potential loss of revenue and downtime associated with waiting for replacement components to be delivered.
The agreement started with strong collaboration, including the development of an asset register that supports pro-active maintenance. As a result, Conrad Energy expects to reduce engine downtime to just a few hours.

Throw your grappling hook
You swing your grappling hook around your head a few times, and then let go. It flies towards the crown and hooks firmly to it. You did it on your first try! What a great shot.
You pull on the hook’s rope with a sharp tug and the crown comes clattering across the floor towards you. You see a pair of angry looking eyes poke out of the slime to see what’s happening, but fortunately you are able to duck behind a boulder before it sees you.
You pick up the crown and put it on your head to see if it fits.
“Oi that’s my crown!” someone shouts from behind you. Storming towards you is an angry looking goblin wearing fine robes and a cape. He pokes you aggressively in the chest.
“Are you the Goblin King?” he asks “No, you aren’t, cos that’s who I am! So why are you wearing my crown!?!”
The Goblin king starts to mutter under his breath “Blummin’ adventurers, coming into the dungeon and nicking everything they see! One of ‘em pinched my doorstopper the other week. A “crystal skull” they called it. Now I can’t wedge my kitchen door open properly any more!”
You calm the Goblin King down and explain how you got the crown.
“That’s all very well and good but I need it back. Who’s ever heard of a King without a crown!”
He thinks for a second. “If you give it back, then I’ll let you have my cloak as a reward for finding it. I was thinking of getting a new cloak anyway as this one doesn’t have enough pockets.”
You happily agree to the suggestion and hand the crown to the Goblin King, who grumpily thanks you and disappears off down a tunnel.
You put on your new cloak and swish it around happily. Your friend tells you how stylish you look in it, then says that, unfortunately, they need to go home now, as they need to get ready to go to a birthday party later today. You say goodbye and thank them for their help, then carry on with your exploration of the dungeon.
There’s a tunnel ahead that looks rather interesting. Its’ walls are glittering, and you’re pretty sure you hear someone singing down there. It’s certainly worth a closer look.
You have just found a new area of the dungeon to explore! Visit the Coraquest: Keep on Questing Kickstarter page on Wednesday the 2nd of November to find out all about it, as well as to explore the next installment of the CoraQuest choose-your-own-adventure story!

1968 Corvette: Service Bulletin: Cold Start Failure
Subject: Cold Start Failure
Model and Year: All 1968 Vehicles Incorporating V-8 Engines
Source: Chevrolet Dealer Service Technical Bulletin
Bulletin No: 68-T-31
Date: March 5, 1968
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Incidents of fuel pump freeze-up and failing to supply fuel have been encountered on some 1968 vehicles equipped with V-8 engines. These failures usually occur in areas which encounter rain and overnight sub-freezing temperatures. The fuel pump becomes inoperative when water enters through the atmospheric vent holes and freezes.
To prevent the above condition and to provide a drain, all V-8 engine fuel pumps are being revised by relocating the atmospheric vent holes from near the mounting flange to near the crimp flange. Refer to Sketch on Page.
A good indication of this condition could be a fuel pump that operates satisfactorily in above-freezing temperatures, such as being stored inside, but does not operate after setting for a period of time in sub-freezing temperatures. A simple check can be made on vehicles not subjected to above-freezing temperatures by removing the air cleaner, stroking the throttle rod, and observing for fuel discharge into the carburetor venturi. If there is no fuel discharge, remove the fuel pump and allow it to than and drain. To prevent recurrence, drill two 1/8" holes as shown in sketch.

Not wanting strangers near our house, especially if they need to come inside.
How can we get our cotton to accept our friends? He wants to bark at them and acts as if he's going to bite them. We've worked with him for a long time. He loves us dearly and our family when they come over. He's an only dog......seven years old,,,,,perhaps we have spoiled him since it's just my husband and myself. I wish he liked other people.

Discover Easy Ways to Potty Train Your New Puppy
What's the best way to potty training your new puppy? There isn’t only one
method available for housebreaking a puppy. You may find one method
isn’t a good fit for you and your dog so just try something else. The
trick is to be patient and never punish your dog if he doesn’t learn
right away (it’s almost always the trainer, not the trainee who is the
You're probably wondering when is the best time to start potty training? You can start immediately by following the simple suggestions below.
Here are some helpful tips to help you have success when you potty train your new puppy:
- Keep your dog on a schedule. Puppies have to “go” every couple of
hours so it makes sense to take your dog outside every couple of hours.
Also make sure to take him outside after he wakes up and after he
plays. This can be very inconvenient, but it is well worth it if you
have a potty trained dog as a result. A few days of inconvenience is a
very small price to pay compared to years of dealing with “accidents”
all over your house.
- It’s also a good idea to feed your puppy at the same time each day and take him outside right after each meal.
- Praise your dog immediately after he’s done going potty outside.
- Expect “accidents” in the house and make sure you
clean them up thoroughly so your dog isn’t attracted to the smell and
inclined to make the same mistake again.
- Do not punish your dog for having accidents
inside the house; no yelling, and definitely no hitting or swatting
with newspapers. Accidents are a natural part of house training.
- Use a potty command so your dog understands the
difference between going outside to eliminate and going outside for a
walk or to play. Use a one or two word command such as “go potty”.
- Be patient and consistent and your efforts to potty train new puppy will be successful.
One of the most successful methods of housebreaking a puppy is crate
training. It almost always works and causes the least amount of stress
for both you and your dog. Believe it or not, crates are the most
humane way to train your dog; don’t consider the crate as a punishment.
Learn more about crate training here.
Potty training really is easy; it just takes time and attention
in the beginning. Don’t be lazy about it. So what do you do if your
dog does have an accident?
If your dog has an accident:
- Don’t yell or hit
- If you catch your dog in the act, simply pick him up and take him immediately outside and tell him to “go potty”.
- If you find out there was an accident after the fact, don’t
correct him – don’t rub his nose in it, don’t yell at him, and
definitely don’t hit him. He will have no idea what’s wrong.
- Be patient. All dogs and owners go through a learning phase, so just relax and know that it will get easier.
Many Coton parents find it helpful to have their dogs trained to go inside and outside. My dog Luc is trained to go outside, but he will also use pee pads. This comes in handy when there's severe weather (he hates getting his feet wet) or if I have to be away from home and can't take him outside.
Pee pads are easy and convenient, but it can be costly. You can find great deals for pads and all other house training supplies at Chewy.com.

Nestle have introduced the lemon drizzle KitKat - and people are excited.
We already have cookies and cream, mocha, mint, orange, and dark in a growing range.
Their latest KitKat comes in two-finger chocolate bars and can be bought as a pack of nine for £1.99.
And it’s only available at Asda.
It was first spotted by @newfoodsuk.
The new KitKat is already winning an army of fans on Twitter.
But there are some skeptics.
Bex.bitoffitness said: “I don’t know how I feel about this... chocolate and lemon??”
The latest Nestle snack has been described as as "a delicious chocolate biscuit bar of 2 fingers of crispy wafer covered with smooth lemon flavoured chocolate".

- Available in a range of sizes
- Recommended by top watercolour artists
- Great for watercolour, gouache & sketching
- Manufactured by Da Vinci, the world's finest brushmaker
- Good water holding power
- Strong long-lasting tips
- Made in Germany
The Red Sable 1526Y Watercolour Brush Series from reknowned brushmaker company Da Vinci is just below the Maestro 11 watercolour brush in terms of quality, but comes highly recommended by top watercolour artists.
The 1526Y watercolour brush series offers good water holding power and each brush has a strong long-lasting fine tip. The anthracite handles are short and lacquered with a golden ferrule. Great for watercolour, gouache and sketching. The large belly will hold water and colour, and feed the point. Made in Germany.
