Cover FX makes a few different types of face primers to suit different skin concerns. Illuminating Primer targets dull/tired complexion and leaves it brighter and more luminous after use. It is packaged in a flattened, squeeze tube with a nozzle that allows for easy dispensing of the amount needed. I tried to concentrate on the scent and while I couldn't detect parfum in the ingredient list, I smelled something slightly natural, slightly synthetic. It's not off-putting by any means and will dissipate upon application.
It is a silicone-free, water-based primer that has all kinds of skin-benefiting ingredients. For starters, it has Vitamin C and E to fight free radicals, Gatuline Radiance Illuminate and Refine to improve the look of dull skin, Hylasome EG10 to hydrate and moisturize, and Panthenol to give skin a smoother appearance. It's also formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Fragrance, Gluten, Mineral Oil, and Talc!
Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mica, Polysorbate 80, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Propanediol, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Tocopheryl Acetate, Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Iron Oxides (CI 77491).
Being water-based, it doesn't play well with oil-based foundations. You'll have to compare ingredients to see if they are compatible. Using the wrong type of foundation, this primer could disintegrate its coverage resulting in shortened wear time. If your favorite foundation is water-based, then you are good to go!
Looking up-close, you'll notice that the formula is packed full with ultra-refined, light-reflecting pearls to give your skin a beautiful, luminous glow. It is beige-tinted in color but applies translucent on the skin. I wouldn't say it turns completely invisible because it does leave a very subtle whitish veil on the skin as seen in my arm swatch below. This veil helps brighten up your complexion leaving it more radiant.
It doesn't disguise imperfections but it definitely helps smooth out the skin's texture so your skin appears more even. I usually apply it all over my face but decidedly leave my oily T-zone and enlarged pores untouched to avoid shimmery pearls in the formula highlighting them.
I like to wear it alone and top with loose powder on my good skin days but it works great mixed with foundations, too. It can also be used as a spot highlighter on the high points of the face such as brow bones, cheekbones, cupid's bow as well as the bridge of the nose. I like how the glowy effect isn't too subtle that it gets lost or covered up by the makeup I put on top.
I only rcently started using primers, as my skin got dehydrated, so I have no big experience. I tend to avoid anything that adds glow though, so I think I'd need another offering.
Have you tried Marc Jacobs Under(Cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer? I heard it's very moisturizing! Haven't tried it myself but will probably soon.
I also avoid using illuminating primers in my T-Zone and on don't even bring them near my pores. Sometimes mixing a pea size amount with foundation does help better than smearing it all over the face.
I like using illuminating primers on my cheeks and forehead. The only ones I've tried are LM which is crazy and Becca which is a little more manageable. I like the Becca as you can use it as a highlighter too. This one looks slightly more subtle and the fact that it's silicone free kind of makes me want to sample it.


Firefighters battled the three-alarm blaze at the Love, Faith and Praise Church at 70th and Stewart. Nobody was inside at the time.
The walls and the roof collapsed hours after the historic Englewood church went up in flames around 4:15 a.m.
Balls of fire were captured on cell phone video right after the blaze started. The pastor, Ronald Richardson, was called right away. He remained in disbelief well int daylight as he looked at what was left of his church.
"I cannot even believe I'm standing looking at this," he said.
Pastor Richardson has been pastor of the church for 10 years. He recently replaced the roof and had done lots of work to make it into a safe haven for kids.
Richardson and his daughter say they were in the process of adding more programs for neighborhood children.
"We planned a school and day care center. We had already started feeding them over the summer. It's just a lot of disbelief because there's nowhere to go now," said Patrice Bolden, Richardson's daughter.
Carolyn Jones, who lives in a third-floor apartment next door, said firefighters broke her windows to hose down the flames just inches from her kitchen.
"I am glad they were able to get it out. The fire was so high I thought it would spread to this building and actually burn this apartment," Jones said.
Firefighters have not identified the cause of the fire.

I Heard a Bird Sing in December
"I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. We are nearer to Spring than we were in September. I heard a bird sing in the dark of December." - Oliver Herford
Winter gets it grip on Rannoch
Rannoch always manages to attract the hardiest of fishermen, even in the depths of winter. Pike fishing is extremely popular at this time of year. However since the early part of November our banksides have seen little or no activity, I wonder what the Christmas period will bring? As this goes to publication, winter has well and truly got its claws into the local area. After a fairly quiet start, this week has seen 5-8 cms of snow which has given a good covering to the countryside, which makes it a joy to photograph, but somewhat hazardous to navigate. I expect it will be all gone before the Christmas period starts in earnest.
Why All The Fuss?
Or more importantly, "Why all the fuss about Waxwings"? RSPB Tayside & Fife, (@RSPBLochLEven), tweeted that the first Waxwing had been spotted near their office in Perth! (https://twitter.com/RSPBLochLeven/status/935802440628228096)
These winter visitors appear on the East Coast from Scotland to East Anglia, having strayed from their more traditional feeding grounds in mainland Europe. In the UK they are non-breeders, and come across in small numbers, however in some years they may appear in larger numbers known as "Irruptions", due to a shortage of food in their main breeding grounds. Some bird watching experts are predicting just such an occurence.
Described as a small bird, slightly smaller than a Starling. They are partial to winter berries, in particular Rowan and Hawthorne.
One particular website described the Waxwing as one of the World's 15 most attractive birds.
So, the bird feeders have been topped up, and I'm poised by the kitchen window, binoculars in hand, prepared to tweet my first sighting! You can read more about this little bird here:
RSPB/Waxwing
If you have a sighting please let us know.
Twittering "Tweets"
I'm an inveterate, if rather poor user of Twitter. I tend to scroll randomly through tweets, but very rarely tweet myself. However, you never know what you're going to come across. Did you know that Tuesday the 5th of December 2017, was "World Soil Day"? no neither did I. This led me to the Scotland Soil Website, a place described by Karen Dobble, Principle Soil Scientist at SEPA, "for you to get all the information and data you need about soil - whatever your reason". Head over there, it's strangely fascinating: soils.environment.gov.scot
A Message from our "Chair", Some Changes at LRCA Headquarters
We are a small concern, that relies on the commitment and hard-work of local volunteers. As alway's people come and go, and the final board meeting in November saw some changes.
Alex Grosset will be standing down, having served the Board for many years as both a member of the Community Council and a Riparian owner. Alex will be replaced by Andrew Duncan who lives with his family at West Tempar, and is himself a Riparian owner.
Our Treasurer of many years, Maggie Legate, (of whom more in a moment), stood down, and will be replaced by Kim Massey who owns a property at East Camghouran. We are enormously pleased to secure her services, and look forward to working with her.
As already mentioned, Maggie Legate will stand down as our Treasurer, having filled the position for a number of years. Both Maggie and her husband Richard, were staunch supporters of the work that we do, and when Richard stepped down from his role as Senior Warden/Company Secretary a few years ago, Maggie agreed to continue until someone else could be found. Maggie has been instrumental in ensuring that the LRCA moves into the future on a firm financial footing, and her advice and wise counsel will be missed. Maggie isn't quite riding off into the sunset just yet, she has agreed to support Kim whilst she learns the ropes over the next few months.
Maggie sent a short note of thanks that she wanted circulating amongst LRCA members
"I just wanted to say many thanks for the fabulous begonia, beautifully flowering in a vivid Christmassy deep red and also for the gardening vouchers, an excellent choice! I can assure you that I will take great pleasure in spending them and, I will also take great pleasure during the long dark wintery nights planning how I'm going to spend them!
Although I had been trying to retire for some time, there is a certain sadness at severing ties with the LRCA after so many years of involvement, however, I'm sure that will disperse fairly quickly. Richard managed it so very well after all! I hope you'll pass on my sincere thanks to the rest of the board, and I feel that with Kim on board, the finances of the organisation will be in excellent hands."

Conservation Fishing Loch Rannoch Waxwing
The most beautiful springs, are those that come after the most horrible winters!
Mehmet Murat ildan
April has seen a really slow start to, well everything. Spring has only just started to get going, and this has been reflected in the fishing season. Even when fishermen do appear, they complain bitterly that they aren't catching anything, hopefully the early May Bank holiday will ring the changes - we'll see.
Often, when we transit the Lochside, we do meet some opposition to paying for a fishing permit. The most recent one involved a discussion with an individual who believed that because the LRCA do not stock the Loch, we cannot therefore charge for a permit - it helps to have the relevant Act and its sections on the tip of your tongue, (Scottish Freshwater Fisheries Act 2003, Section 48), but I'm starting to think we might want to opt for more drastic measures
If like me you mark the onset of Spring and Summer by the wildlife you spot, then, by that token things are not a…

The Beast from the East - Special Extended Edition!
As I was about to hit enter on the keyboard, and commit the monthly blog to the cybersphere, the so called, "Beast from the East" made an appearance. With such a once in ten year event, it seemed worthwhile to see what this would actually mean.
For us around the Loch, frankly, I was wondering what all the fuss was about - we had much heavier snow here around the middle of January, and it didn't even rate a mention in the Courier, let alone the Scottish or National Press. So it was a slightly smug me, sat with a glass of wine, in front…

1950s one-piece 'flip top' box issue. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood, preshaped model manufacturer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are quality hardwood (not balsa) and are smooth precarved to final shape - usually only a quick sanding would finish them. When complete it makes an impressive desk top display. Features original glue and sandpaper, clear plastic canopy, special Strombecker 'teardrop' display stand and extensive full color decals. Never started. 100% complete with all parts, decals and detailed plans, instructions. Please NOTE that the box displays better than the 'good-' grade; it is graded as such due to closed corner tears and a 1.5 x 1 missing litho section on the box back.
1950s/early 1960s stick-and-tissue flying model. Features quality balsa printwood, strip stock, formed wheels, covering material and full plans. The kit has never been started and is complete. The entire Comet 1950s "N" line included the following (gaps mean there is no kit, at least at that time): N1 Tiger Shark P-40, N2 F-86D Sabre Jet, N4 Globe Swift, N6 Taylorcraft, N8 F-51 Mustang, N9 Helicopter, N11 Ryan Navion, N12 Firefly, N15 Piper Cub, N16 Fokker DVII, N17 Spad, N24 Phantom Fury, N25 Aeronca K (floats) and N26 Stinson SR-7. Comet was a famous manufacturer of stick and tissue flying and static models. In the 1930s Great Depression, they lead the low-priced kit revolution with the "Dime Scale" kits and famous advertisements in Model Airplane News magazine and others. Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.
1957 first release with classic art. This is the rare edition with a clear windscreen and wheel chocks. I have seen very few of these; Revell discontinued the windscreen part soon after release. The box is in great condition as shown and graded 'excellent.' The only flaws are light wear and a tiny tape pull on one long side (3mm x 2mm). Large-scale kit is nicely molded and detailed for that time. Features detailed rotary engine the moves with the prop, authentic fine fabric texture finish over ribs, complete cockpit with movable control stick and rudder bar, removable cowling, pilot and crew figures, realistic rigging material, complete rigging instructions and more. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
From older but quality Fujimi molds. The model as never been started. The parts are either still in the factory sealed bag or have been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.
1957 hardbox issue with the Parents' Magazine seal. Please note that this is an earlier issue with 'Famous Fighters' in the oval border of the Aurora logo and is has the '.29' cent price extension. Small scale kit with dramatic Jo Kotula box artwork. Nicely molded kit with clear canopy, full landing gear and display stand. This is a model of the very early YF-102 prototype with the straight (non-area rule) fuselage. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Around this time, Aurora issued a series of inexpensive (usually 29 cent) small scale kits that were designed to sell at almost any type of retail location. The line was successful and further expanded - when Aurora purchased the Comet molds, they fit in nicely with this established line.
Still factory sealed. Limited edition molded in sparkling metallic gold finish. Features many custom parts such as air dam, spoilers and wheels. Has fully detailed engine, compartment and interior. Hood opens. Molded in color, chrome, clear and with rubber tires.
Factory sealed. Widely considered the finest 1/48 scale Tomcat. This issue includes metal wheel hubs, photoetched details and rubber tires. Features all very fine recessed panel lines, detailed cockpit and much more.
Limited run of only 2000 kits. Includes many metal parts and decals. 100% complete and unstarted.
Still factory sealed but the seal has split, typical of the old, brittle cello. Dated 1955. 2nd issue with "PA" price prefix instead of "P." Kit features rotating wheels and propellers, side gun packs and cannon/machine gun nose, crew members, underwing rockets and boarding ladder.
Rare factory sealed issue. Revell Lodela issue with colorful AeroMexico decals.
Still factory sealed. 1960s 'Third Logo' issue in excellent condition. Nice 1/144 scale kit of the world's first jet airliner. Includes clear windows, full landing gear, display stand, passenger boarding stairs and BEA decals. The initial Comet Is were in operation long before the 707, which gave the British an incredible post-war lead in the expanding civil aviation market. Just as the Comet was flying high and orders were pouring in from around the world, Comets began to mysteriously fall out of the sky. Everything from lighting to terrorist bombs were blamed. For months the root cause went undiscovered. Then, in a landmark investigation that is considered the first modern post-crash autopsy, it was discovered that the stresses around a small ADF window on the top of the fuselage were causing metal fatigue failure when the fuselage was pressurized. To confirm this, a Comet I was placed in a water tank and subjected to pressurization stresses. After some time, a dramatic failure occurred. Then parts of a crashed Comet were pulled from underwater proving once and for all that this was the root cause.
Superb and highly detailed model kit that is factory painted and lettered in the C&O 'Green Scheme' with Roman lettering. Features separate grab irons, extensive and complete underbody details, steam, air & signal lines, working diaphragms, full interior, metal wheels, magnetic knuckle couplers and much more. The kit has never been started. The parts have never been removed from the box and are still wrapped in the factory protective tissue paper. Includes excellent, illustrated instructions.
Still factory sealed and with the type three logo header. 1960s kit that is very nicely molded and detailed. Contains decals for two aircraft - 'Max' in North African service and 6M+YN from the early Russian campaign.
Still factory sealed. Late 1960s or 1970s issue with excellent box artwork.
Dated 1993. Very nice kit featuring detailed racing chassis and engine, lift-up body, full racing cockpit, very colorful decals and more. Molded in white plastic, clear, chrome plate and with rubber tires. Never started. All the parts that were factory sealed are still sealed; the parts that were not (clear and chrome) have been inventoried complete. With instructions and decals.
Still factory sealed. Dated 1997. Very nice kit featuring detailed racing chassis and engine, lift-up body, full racing cockpit, very colorful decals and more.
Excellent, highly detailed craftsman kit in unusual 'S' scale. Features cut and prescribed hardwood car sides that are factory painted and lettered, fully milled hardwood roof and floor, pre-cut and scribed car ends and doors, wood stock as required, cast metal bolsters, lower car ends and brake cylinder, metal brake wheel, platform, grabirons, chain, car door slides and more. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete including detailed, illustrated instructions.
Still in the factory seal. Dated 1983. Released in promotion with the popular cartoon 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.' Molded in red and yellow and has a wingspan of 12 and 7/8 inches when built. Action figure (not included) can be put in the cockpit.
Still factory sealed. Very nicely detailed large 1/8 scale model. Features nine cylinders, crankcase, carburetor with sliding valve, accessory drive gears, oil pump, magneto, full wiring and more. The 80 hp Le Rhone was developed before WWI and was used in many early aircraft. It did see service early in the Great War and it's follow on, the 110 hp Le Rhone was used in larger aircraft. The crankshaft of the Le Rhone mounted directly to the firewall and was part of the air and fuel intake system. The crankcase, propeller shaft and cylinders all revolved at about 1200 rpm. These three assemblies were carefully balanced to reduce vibration.

A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Up/Down Lumen: It's Illuminating!
by Martin Green
It didn't look good: on the morning of the opening of the new A. Lange & Söhne boutique, dark skies not only generously showered Dresden with rain but also spurted gusts of wind making staying dry outside a challenging ordeal.
A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Up/Down Lumen
The extremely low water level of the Elbe that flows through Dresden was evidence of the long, hot summer that had now clearly passed.
I don't know how A. Lange & Söhne did it, but two hours before the opening the dark clouds broke, the sun came through, and the wind died down. The city transformed in the warm light, showing its grandeur as the capital of a previous empire, once the royal residence of the electors and kings of Saxony.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new A. Lange & Söhne boutique in Dresden
A lot of the rococo and baroque buildings dominating the city center have been rebuilt from the rubble as the bombing raids of World War II deeply cut the city, wounds that couldn't heal in the decades in which it was hidden behind the iron curtain.
Claiming a birthright: Dresden, Walter Lange, and A. Lange & Söhne
As soon as that political curtain fell, the founder's great-grandson Walter Lange was there to reclaim his family's heritage. And so was Dresden, regaining its stature as the spectacular city it once was. It is remarkable how well both have succeeded in this task, something that becomes exceptionally clear when you stand in the city's new A. Lange & Söhne boutique.
It hasn't even been three decades since the brand was resurrected. In an incredibly short period, it has gained the respect of the entire watchmaking community: collectors, journalists, and even competitors openly show their admiration for the brand.
In 2007 A. Lange & Söhne opened its very first brand boutique in Dresden, and this one is now also the very first of the company's own shops to emerge clad in a new style.
Moving locations, it now resides at a prime spot in the heart of Dresden, occupying a generous corner right across from the famous Frauenkirche. The interior of the new boutique, which will become the new standard for all A. Lange & Söhne boutiques worldwide, highlights in a very playful way the rich history of the brand. But it also shows how far it has come since the brand's resurrection.
While the new interior style feels luxurious, it is more like your favorite cashmere sweater than a high-end Armani suit. "Homey" wouldn't be the right word to describe it, but you do feel at home in this new A. Lange & Söhne boutique.
Inside the new A. Lange & Söhne boutique in Dresden
The brand could very well have created a pretentious place, which wouldn't even be that pretentious given its reputation and the extremely high quality of its watches. But it is anything but pretentious. It is a place of history and heritage, where like-minded people can come to admire craftsmanship, technical ingenuity, and perseverance, all presented in a proud but humble way.
Even if an A. Lange & Söhne may be financially out of reach, the boutique is still a place where you feel comfortable browsing through the many display cases and intriguing installations that explain part of the history or how a specific component is created or finished.
Yes, watches are sold here, but in a very organic way.
Datograph Up/Down Lumen: the A. Lange & Söhne sports watch that isn't a sports watch
A. Lange & Söhne also used the (re-)opening of the boutique to launch the Datograph Up/Down Lumen, a platinum-encased limited edition of 200 pieces that is about as close to a sports watch as the brand has ever come.
To me, this shows how well A. Lange & Söhne has established and respected its "DNA," staying loyal to it. For many high-tier brands, steel sports watches are the big money makers, but A. Lange & Söhne has never moved in that direction. Not even ever launching a regular-production steel watch.
Instead, the brand's designers have decided to take illumination past the gimmick that it so easily could have become. Superb design matched with equally superb craftsmanship has ensured this element retains the aura of a serious watch.
While I consider the regular version of the Datograph Up/Down to be one of the best and most beautiful current-production chronographs money can buy, the Lumen adds to its charm – and does so by day and by night!
Under regular lighting conditions, the "white" subdials provide a sporty look as they seem to float against the transparent dial that provides the watch with a more technical look than the regular version.
When the lights go down, those same subdials light up – along with the chronograph's second hand, the large date, and the outer ring outfitted with a tachymeter. It sounds like a bit much, but it looks very balanced and also makes the watch significantly different than the regular version of the Datograph Up/Down.
Of course, not much else has changed on this watch: the case size is still the same as is the movement. As both were as close to perfect as a human-made product can be, there are no complaints there. Thanks to the platinum case, the watch has a pleasant heft on the wrist.
It feels substantial, like a sports watch!
One of the things that has always made me so affectionate toward A. Lange & Söhne is also displayed in both the watch and the boutique: while the brand and its people are rightfully proud of their accomplishments, they share instead of showing off – this was illustrated by the complete lack of celebrities and "influencers" at the boutique opening. Just press and clients mingling, discussing the products of a brand that can be seen as not only an illuminating example of resurrection but also one that knows that its "DNA" goes beyond cheeky marketing and ballooning sales figures.
So maybe that lucky break in the weather was caused by Walter Lange and co-refounder Günter Blümlein looking down from the heavens, smiling as their mutual legacy continues to grow to new heights with outstanding watches like this one.

PEOPLE who are in danger but unable to speak can still get help by calling 999 - under a system being highlighted by police.
The system means callers who are too scared to make a noise, or speak, can press 55 when prompted.
This will then inform police they are in a genuine emergency.
The Silent Solution system is well-established in the UK but is being highlighted in a new campaign. It could, in extreme situations, potentially save a life.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is leading the 'Make Yourself Heard' campaign during National Stalking Awareness Week, with support from the family of murder victim Kerry Power, Women's Aid and Welsh Women's Aid, and the National Police Chiefs' Council.


Innovation Shopping Mall (ISM) with the site area of 71860 sft approximately is located on main Bannerghatta Road, short of the flyover. The very modern glass structure has a retail space of – Ground, First, Second & Third Floor. The mall also houses 4 screen multiplex, food court with entertainment zone and Pantaloons as anchors. When completed, by March 2007, the fully leased, centrally air-conditioned mall will be a shopping experience in itself.
The very modern Glass Structure is centrally air-conditioned with each shop having frontage of 30 ft.
The mall has futuristic food court spread over 20,000 sft with the E-Zone spread over another 20,000 sft.


Writing on cakes, even simple messages like Happy Birthday, can be daunting for some considering the time and effort that went into baking and icing the cake to get it ready for edible lettering. Real Simple magazine's weblog recommends first writing text on your cakes with a toothpick and going back over that with a pastry bag.
The beauty of using a toothpick is that if you make a colossal error you can smooth over the icing and try again until you get it right. You may also want to practice writing with a pastry bag on a plate to familiarize yourself with how the frosting flows from the tip.

Cattle rustling an everyday issue in Uruguay, claim farmers
Tuesday, August 19th 2014 - 08:57 UTC
Full article 5 comments
Cattle is usually shot and slaughtered in the field, and later sold to local butchers or turned into sausages or minced meat
ARU president Echeverria claimed some farmers are discouraged, and also described justice as 'lenient' with rustlers
Cattle rustling in Uruguay has become a daily issue and it's unfair that farmers should be forced to change of activity because "justice is lenient" when and if the perpetrators are caught, claimed the president of Uruguay's Rural Association, ARU, Ruben Echeverria.
"This criminal activity discourages farmers" said Echeverria and mentioned several recent cases, usually close to towns, but which do not get much media coverage since they involve small numbers of livestock.
"In most cases ready for market steers are shot, slaughtered and the best cuts taken away while the rest of the carcass are left in the fields. With DNA and traceability it should be easy to check local butchers for the origin of the meat they are selling", adds Echeverria who indicated something similar happens with sheep.
"One or two are usually stolen for eating while in other cases small trucks load flocks of 30 to 50. Livestock transport in Uruguay needs of special transportation licenses, it should be relatively easy to detect them, but it does not always happen", insisted Echeverria who also claimed 'justice is lenient'.
"Rustlers are jailed for two or three months and then we see them again roaming in the roads next to fields, most probably planning to repeat previous crimes".
However in some counties "we know the police is making their best and the anti-rustlers brigades, are effective, but we have this problem with magistrates", who argue they don't have the legal instruments to be more severe.
ARU president also complained that there is a bill, in one of the 'drawers of Congress', waiting to be considered and which extends "home legitimate defense" to rural property and livestock. The bill dates back to February 2012, but was sponsored by an opposition lawmaker and this is election year in Uruguay, so it's hard to see any further discussion until the new legislature next year.
According to Uruguay's Home Office in the first half of the year, 581 rustling cases were reported, which is 13% higher than the same period a year ago. However in the first half of 2013 the rustling cases dropped dramatically 41% compared to 2012. At that time the anti rustling brigades were established in most of the country.

The cattle are probably being rustled by starving Argentineans. After all, how much is the Arg Peso worth these days?


In the role of hotel manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day management of a hotel and its staff. You'll also be commercially accountable for budgeting and financial management and will need to plan, organise and direct all hotel services, including front-of-house (reception, concierge, and reservations), food and beverage operations and housekeeping.
In larger hotels you'll often have a specific remit, such as guest services, accounting or marketing, and your role will form part of a general management team.
proficiency in another language may also be an advantage, especially for hotels which are part of an international chain.
If you want to work in a particular section of a hotel or hotel group, such as advertising or accounting, you may need a relevant qualification or professional accreditation.
Some of the management training programmes run by large hotel groups are for graduate entry only, for which a minimum 2:2 degree is usually required.
It's possible to enter hotel management without a degree, HND or foundation degree, since employers place a lot of emphasis on relevant experience. A general standard of education is expected but you can work your way up to management through on-the-job training and external qualifications.
A postgraduate qualification is not normally necessary for entry unless your first degree is in a non-relevant subject or you lack work experience. Masters, diploma and certificate courses in hotel and/or hospitality management are offered at various institutions. Many of these courses are open to graduates from any discipline with little or no experience, as well as non-graduates with significant hotel or managerial experience.

Allison McGevna of Inside Allie's World on Shopping Your Closet
By elizabethcarmona2014
Updated March 23, 2015 01:00 PM
Welcome Allison McGevna, 31, of Inside Allie's World, who is joining us as our resident curvy-girl style blogger. She was featured in the December/January issue of PEOPLE StyleWatch and contributes her thoughts on finding the perfect outfit to the site each week. This week, she spills on how to shop your closet and remix what you own. (And if her items are sold out, we've linked to similar styles below — happy shopping!)
Courtesy Allison McGevna
Sometimes I'll have pieces in my closet that I really love, but just can't figure out how to style. This week's crop top and floral skirt were two of those. The crop top was actually from a top-and-skirt set that I ordered on Sugarpopped.com. The skirt ended up being too tight on me, but I really wanted to make the top work on my figure. I had styled the Eva Mendes for New York & Company skirt (similar style) with a white T-shirt before to try and achieve this fresh, neutral look I had envisioned, but it was never quite right.
RELATED: See even more wardrobe tips from Allison here!
Let's talk about why I love these pieces. Crop tops can be tricky for any woman, especially if you're plus-size. Like I've always said, it's easier for curvy women to look supersexy (sometimes this is a good thing, but sometimes it's not!). When considering a crop top, I always make sure I can find one that's a good fit, and figure out a way to work it without going overboard. I'm all for women wearing what they feel great in! But you do have to weigh what is age- and life-appropriate. This top is wonderful because it has longer sleeves and a turtleneck. It's rare that you can find a crop top that offers this much coverage. It really checks all the boxes! The top is pretty fitted, so I knew I needed to wear it with something flowy and high-waisted.
This Eva Mendes for New York & Company skirt is so gorgeous. Eva Mendes designs such great clothes. Her designs are fashion forward, her line goes up to a size 18, and everything is really affordable. Most important, the clothes she designs look like clothes she would actually wear! This skirt's material is lightweight and satin-y, so it can be dressed up or down. And, it's a great example of a fuller skirt that doesn't have so much structure. It really skims over your shape. Bonus: No shapewear necessary!
I finally had a "Eureka!" moment and realized I needed to look within my own wardrobe to figure out how to style these two pieces. The color palette of the top and skirt were so sleek and cohesive, and the proportions worked perfectly. I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of this pairing sooner! The top is long enough and the skirt is high-waisted enough to show just a sliver of skin (I never wanted to go overboard and show too much) and the whole look felt young and modern. Plus, it gets you in the mood for spring! Lighter colors can sometimes be tricky to pull off on a curvy frame, but when you go monochromatic like this, it gives you a bit of a lengthened effect.
I paired the look with rose gold pumps from Charles David and gold-and-pink bracelets from New York & Company (similar style) to go with the palette and keep that long, lean line intact. And, if you're wondering what bra I wore underneath the crop top, I chose a pink bra from Lane Bryant's Cacique collection (a similar shade to the blush-colored top). With lighter colors and tighter fits, it can be tricky to find the right undergarments. The bra is seamless, so it doesn't show through underneath a fitted top, and it's thickly lined, so if it's colder, you won't have a wardrobe malfunction!
Do you shop your closet and remix your wardrobe? What has your most successful remix been to date? Sound off below!

I haven't done a reflection post in a while because I felt like it was becoming a bit monotonous. I wanted to branch out and share other things that are going on in my life. To be honest, I still don't think that I've found my niche, but everyday it seems that I'm getting closer as I devote more time to my blog.
A really good friend of mine just announced that she's expecting baby #2 and I'm so happy for her. Truthfully, this has to be one of the first pregnancy announcements that hasn't filled me with intense feelings of envy. I know it sounds awful, but let me explain.
When hubby and I were trying to conceive, every negative pregnancy test was like a slap in the face. I seriously began to loathe seeing and hearing about other women getting pregnant, even those near and dear to me. It just felt like a cruel joke; often I would call out to God asking him to open my womb, and when I didn't get the answer I wanted, I got upset.
Had I been listening or even mature enough, I would have asked God to help me lose my feelings of resentment, maybe then I would have understood that He was not telling me "no", I was being told to wait. Hindsight has helped me to realize just how petulant I was being. I'm thankful that God did not give up on me during those very trying times.
I'm looking forward to getting together with my girlfriend and hearing all of the wonderful details. We have planned to do lunch soon, and it will be good to see her. She was such an integral part of my pregnancy, and Lord willing, I will be able to return the favor.
It is such a joy to know that our children will grow up together.

The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS)  is a collection of psychiatric diagnostic criteria and symptom rating scales originally published in 1978. It is organized as a semi-structured diagnostic interview. The structured aspect is that every interview asks screening questions about the same set of disorders regardless of the presenting problem; and positive screens get explored with a consistent set of symptoms. These features increase the sensitivity of the interview and the inter-rater reliability (or reproducibility) of the resulting diagnoses. The SADS also allows more flexibility than fully structured interviews: Interviewers can use their own words and rephrase questions, and some clinical judgment is used to score responses. There are three versions of the schedule, the regular SADS, the lifetime version (SADS-L) and a version for measuring the change in symptomology (SADS-C). Although largely replaced by more structured interviews that follow diagnostic criteria such as DSM-IV and DSM-5, and specific mood rating scales, versions of the SADS are still used in some research papers today.

Diagnoses covered
The diagnoses covered by the interview include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and a limited number of other fairly common diagnoses.

Relationship with the Research Diagnostic Criteria
The SADS was developed by the same group of rearchers as the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC). While the RDC is a list of diagnostic criteria for psychiatric disorders, the SADS interview allows diagnoses based on RDC criteria to be made, and also rates subject's symptoms and level of functioning.

K-SADS
The K-SADS (or Kiddie-SADS) is a version of the SADS adapted for school-aged children of 6–18 years. There are various different versions of the K-SADS, each varying slightly in terms of disorders and specific symptoms covered, as well as the scale range used. All of the variations are still semi-structured interviews, giving the interviewer more flexibility about how to phrase and probe items, while still covering a consistent set of disorders.

The K-SADS-E (Epidemiological version) was developed for epidemiological research. It focused on current issues and episodes only. Most of the items used a four point rating scale.

The K-SADS-PL (Present and Lifetime version) is administered by interviewing the parent(s), the child, and integrating them into a summary rating that includes parent report, child report, and clinical observations during the interview. The interview covers both present issues (i.e., the reason the family is seeking an evaluation) as well as past episodes of the disorders. Most items use a three point rating scale for severity (not present, subthreshold, and threshold—which combines both moderate and severe presentations). It has been used with preschool as well as school-aged children. A 2009 working draft removed all reference to the DSM-III-R criteria (which were replaced with the publication of the DSM-IV in 1994) and made some other modifications. A DSM-5 version is being prepared and validated.

The WASH-U K-SADS (Washington University version) added items to the depression and mania modules and used a six point severity rating for severity.

How COVID Is Affecting the Security Landscape
The COVID-19 pandemic has had implications on how many companies do business. Many workers who'd never worked from home now prefer the flexibility that remote work provides. With the expansion of work-from-home opportunities has come new cyber-threats that large and small businesses alike haven't considered, and new coronavirus cybersecurity strategies are needed to protect employees and the companies they work for.
This guide will cover some of the cyber-threats that are on the rise. Cybersecurity and COVID-19 are interlinked now because remote work isn't going away anytime soon. If you aren't preparing for current cyber-threats and those that may arise in the future, it could cost your organization significant sums of money in lost productivity, theft and more.
The Proliferation of Cyber-Risks
Recent news headlines regarding ransomware attacks, security risks, internet security and more have many people concerned about when the next data breach or large-scale infrastructure security attack will occur. What many people don't realize is that their personal devices could be what harbors the programs hackers might use to breach their employers' systems to access sensitive information. Remote access to internal systems comes with cyber-risks the average worker is oblivious to.
Even large and secure networks are facing brutal cyber-threats. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals, clinics and doctors have routinely been the targets of malware and ransomware attacks. Due to the nature of these attacks, many of the health care networks affected had no choice but to pay the ransoms.
The Colonial Pipeline attack had implications across a wide region of the United States as oil production was halted until a resolution could be found. Residents in the impacted areas were panic-buying gasoline and other resources. This exacerbated the impact of the attack.
The Internal Revenue Service has warned that cybercriminals are using the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to scam people via phishing attacks that obtain victims' personal information. Current scams include emails and text messages promising the delivery of disaster relief payments and COVID stimulus money. With such a drastic rise in cybersecurity threats comes the need for more attention and resources to combat these ongoing threats from individual hackers and groups backed by nation states.
Common Cybersecurity Threats to Remote Working
One of the greatest vulnerabilities businesses face is the use of personal computers to perform work tasks. When people began to work at home, they did so using devices they owned rather than equipment that had been purchased and programmed by their employers. It's not realistic to believe that average people with no IT experience are capable of addressing potential cyber-threats affb nd knowing how to defend their data.
According to Kaspersky, 80% of those participating in remote working use home computers rather than a company-owned device. This is despite over half of respondents actually receiving equipment from their employers to use. The average person prefers to use their own equipment, even though this puts them at risk of cyber-threats.
Since remote working often occurs through home networks, those who work from home usually aren't working over a secure network. This makes it easier for hackers to gain access to their devices and locate a back door into the company's private network. The number of attacks against these unsecured networks is on the rise.
Additional risks come via the very software and collaboration tools commonly used for remote working. Zero-day vulnerabilities, viruses and malware allow hackers to gain access to an entire network after infecting a single computer. When employees send files over email, the documents may be encrypted with Trojans that sneak onto another worker's computer and continue to spread. The objective of this strategy is to eventually gain access to the company's vital infrastructure.
Current Scams to Avoid
In the US for example, the National Cyber Security Alliance warns against a number of scams that are currently taking advantage of those who are in need due to disasters or the COVID-19 pandemic. These scams include being contacted by an individual claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other US government agencies. It's important to note that wherever you are living, it is highly unlikely you will ever be contacted by a government agency over the phone or the internet. In the US for example, the IRS only contacts people by mail.
Another common scam is fake requests for product deliveries. The scammer sends an email with an attachment that contains a Trojan or other security risk. Once the attachment is opened, the hacker is able to obtain control over the machine that received the email.
Some people are receiving fake emails promising stimulus payments or claiming that the target needs to update their information to be able to receive their welfare benefits, Social Security benefits or COVID relief payment. Never open these suspicious emails; instead, if you need to, call your government agency directly to obtain any information about benefits and payments.
How Coronavirus Cybersecurity Measures Will Change Business
Some companies were woefully unprepared for the wave of cybercrime that's been hitting the nation. For those that weren't prepared, security needs to be a priority for their organizations moving forward. This may mean completely revamping systems and turning to the most advanced technologies in the cybersecurity space.
Remote workers need to be educated on how to contribute to cybersecurity efforts. It's the employer's responsibility to warn workers about current cyber-threats and provide ways they can protect themselves. If possible, it's also important that remote working only occurs on business-owned computers. This protects workers and business organizations alike.
How to Defend Against Cyber-Threats
Everyone needs to be informed concerning cybersecurity concerns and receive training on the mitigation measures in place to protect data privacy. In order to ensure criminals don't gain access to your confidential data, make sure your computer has anti-malware and antivirus programs installed and that your employer provides additional security software to protect your home network and data privacy.
Here are some strategies you can implement to protect yourself:
Protect Your Home Network
Make sure your home network is protected with a strong password and encryption. This can protect all your devices since they're all connected to the internet via your router.
Use a VPN
Virtual private networks offer you security by routing your connection through a neutral and secure server. This keeps websites, internet service providers and hackers from tracking your IP address and knowing what you do on your computer.
Communicate with Your IT Department
Make sure all your devices such as tablets, mobile phones and computers have acceptable security features. If you're working from home, you can ask your IT department to provide you with the software you need to install on your devices that's compatible with the company's proprietary software.
Don't Mix Work and Pleasure
If offered a device that's owned by your employer, use only that device for work functions such as business meetings and virtual meetings that use VoIP software such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. This reduces the chance of a cybersecurity breach that moves from your work to home devices and vice versa.
Determine Vulnerabilities and Report Them
The IT department should be reviewing known vulnerabilities on a regular basis. If you notice something worthy of concern, you should report it. Always pay attention when you're notified of a current security issue.
Do Some Research
Organizations like the National Cyber Security Alliance, Cyber Readiness Institute and Global Cyber Alliance provide information about the latest cyber-threats and ways you can protect yourself. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, so the current methods of mitigating cybersecurity concerns may not be relevant when hackers come up with new ways to exploit people. Checking in on what these organizations have to report can help you stay aware and prepared.

Michael Duffy: 1953-2021
[NOTE: This post was published by The Celtic Star on Friday, and can be found here. Niall J, my colleague at The Celtic Star, has already written an outstanding remembrance of Michael Duffy on The Celtic Star. While many others have given their remembrances on the pages of The Celtic Noise forum and elsewhere, few of us know the intricacies of Michael's life outside his love of Celtic. Gleaning information from his obituary, I wanted to highlight the man behind the Father Jack avatar, ironically, on The Celtic Noise.]
Michael Duffy entered the world just in time for Celtic to beat Hibernian in the Coronation Cup at Hampden Park, his birth preceding that auspicious event in Celtic lore by just four days, on 20 May 1953. He was born in the Possil district of Glasgow, and he and his family lived there, until he and his family moved to Haghill.
From Haghill, Michael's childhood included living in an area where he could look down on Celtic Park, which fostered his lifelong love for the Bhoys in Green. His childhood coincided with the great Celtic sides built by Jock Stein, and a few days after his 13th birthday, Celtic brought home the European Cup.
Like other working-class boys in the area, Michael attended Whitehill Secondary School in Dennistoun and, as was common at the time, took an apprenticeship at 15. His painting and decorating career is highlighted literally by his painting of the Forth Bridge. To supplement his income, Michael worked at Virgin Records and nurtured his love of music, which led him to teach himself how to play the guitar, which would come in handy later when he lived in London and Ireland.
Michael's school career took a detour, as he left school for an apprenticeship because his family needed a breadwinner – as was common at that time – but he returned to college later to complete his Highers, and he was successful in them all.
Michael's life took him to London and Ireland, where he plied his painting-and-decorating trade while playing gigs at local pubs. At one point, he was given permission by a music school to use the facilities to teach guitar, and the Head Master of this school in Ireland was so impressed that he gave Michael an opportunity to teach there. Michael declined, since he was self-taught and hadn't learned to read music.
A hallmark of Michael's life is that he always used his keen intellect in the service of fair play, and he was always a fighter against bigotry and hatred. While he was kind and helpful, almost to a fault, most who knew him personally attest that he also was swift to let those who had overstepped their bounds know it.
This was evident later in Michael's life as, in failing health, he was housebound but found a home as one of the more active members of The Celtic Noise forum. Always helpful and encouraging to new members while policing, with others, the forum for trolls, Michael had a reputation of being the "night manager" for the forum, since he was on at all hours. His reputation blossomed to being considered by most of the regulars there as "the father of The Celtic Noise."
Michael's family – from his immediate family and relatives, to his worldwide family of fellow Celtic fans – feel the pain of his passing and the emptiness therein. However, we who knew him at whatever level are proud to have known him, and we are comforted in knowing that Michael spent his life as a caring and decent person who helped others whenever he could. To paraphrase a popular Celtic song:
"Farwell my darlin' Michael, for the best of friends must part / No more we'll stand beside you on the slopes of Celtic Park."
To our Celtic comrade Michael Duffy (1953-2021): Presente!
Requiescat in pace.

Nicely said Larry. A lovely insight to the man behind the avatar. He will be missed without a doubt on the noise. For any who read this blog and are not on Celtic Noise, there is a fund being built by Steviebhoy for a Celtic way Star for MD. Any extra monies received go to the Celtic Foundation. Already well subscribed, so head over and lend your support.
Shamrock says:
A wonderful profile and beautiful sentiments, Larry.
Michael is sorely missed by many on The Celtic Noise. As the night manager, he would be there to talk to if I couldn't sleep, was always concerned about me during this bloody plague and kept up all our spirits up with his patter.
A life well lived, Michael. Be at peace now and if you happen to bump into my dad and brothers upon high then you'll have some good craic about the Celtic and the music too. HH

65 year old men in Wandsworth are among the first in the country to benefit from screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (also known as AAAs) as part of a new national screening programme. St George's Hospital has introduced the NHS Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening Programme and invited men are now being screened.
An estimated 80,000 men aged between 65 and 74 are affected by the condition, which is caused when the main blood vessel in the abdomen – the aorta – weakens and starts to expand. If undetected, the condition can be fatal and around 6,000 men die every year from a burst AAA.
The new NHS AAA Screening Programme will reduce deaths from the condition by up to 50 percent by detecting AAAs early and enabling monitoring or treatment to be offered. Men aged 65 and over are most at risk from the condition and invitations for screening are therefore being sent out to men in the area in the year they turn 65.
More information can be found by visiting the national programme website at: http://aaa.screening.nhs.uk.
For more information on your local screening centre or a background information sheet please call the AAA Screening program for St. George's and south west London, on 020 8266 6261, or e-mail: aaa.screening@stgeorges.nhs.uk.
For more information on the national NHS AAA Screening Programme please call their press office on 020 7478 7802, or email:aaascreeningprogramme@trimediauk.com.
St George's is starting the SW London screening programme in Wandsworth on Friday 19 June. Screening services will be rolled out to patients in Croydon, Kingston, Sutton & Merton and Richmond & Twickenham throughout summer 2009. Screening will begin in Surrey in 2010.
If a large aneurysm is found it means the aorta is much wider than normal. Only a very small number of men will have this result. Those who do will be given an appointment with a specialist team to have further scans and to talk about possible treatment.


As a government, what do you do if you have already jacked up taxes to make cigarettes more expensive, forced tobacco companies to put really off-putting images and warnings on the packaging, hidden the product from public view, and set up harsh penalties for those who sell to minors, but you still aren't seeing the gains that you want?
Right now, Canada is considering enacting legislation that is similar to what's been put in Australia and subsequently, in the U.K., France, and Ireland, whereby all tobacco manufacturers will be forced to market their products with unbranded packaging.
In a time when smoking has seemed to be on the uptick again, as a citizen, this is an important topic. But as an advertiser, this kind of thing is fascinating for it's value as a reinforcement of the value of brands.
If you've ever questioned the value of 'all that touchy, feely, branding talk' that's out there, then this real world example should hit home with you. Brands aren't just ethereal concepts that don't provide value, if they were, then you wouldn't see the kinds of results described in the quote above, and you wouldn't see Big Tobacco fighting so hard against this next salvo in the war on smoking.
In fact, Big Tobacco is terrified, and so they should be.
So what they are saying is that they need the help of a brand to ensure retention of customers of an inherently addictive product.
If that's how critical a brand is, and if the removal of branding on their packaging is that terrifying to such a massive industry, it's not hard to extrapolate what the absence, or weakness, of a brand can mean for other organizations. Organizations just like yours.
Most of us operate in FAR less stringently legislated industries. Essentially, we have carte blanche to brand our organizations, products, and/or services, and yet, day-after-day, so many organizations choose to wallow in the mud of being common, unidentifiable, and unexceptional.
It's an opportunity that you're letting go up in smoke.
The detector is sounding off all around you. The question is: will you ignore it, or respond?


With the support of Enterprise Singapore, AAIS mounted a business mission and Singapore Pavilion at Aeromart Toulouse 2018 from 4 to 6 December 2018.

Democracy and other neoliberal fantasies
by Professor Jodi Dean
To be reviewed by Simon Belt April 2011
"Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies" is an impassioned call for the realization of a progressive left politics in the United States. Through an assessment of the ideologies underlying contemporary political culture, Jodi Dean takes the left to task for its capitulations to conservatives and its failure to take responsibility for the extensive neo-liberalization implemented during the Clinton presidency. She argues that the left's ability to develop and defend a collective vision of equality and solidarity has been undermined by the ascendance of 'communicative capitalism,' a constellation of consumerism, the privileging of the individual self over group interests, and the embrace of the language of victimization. As Dean explains, communicative capitalism is enabled and exacerbated by the Web and other networked communications media, which reduce political energies to the registration of opinion and transmission of feelings.
The result is a psychotic politics where certainty displaces credibility and the circulation of intense feeling trumps the exchange of reasons. Dean's critique ranges from her argument that the term 'democracy' has become a meaningless cipher invoked by the left and right alike to an analysis of the fantasy of free trade underlying neo-liberalism, and from an examination of new theories of sovereignty advanced by politicians and left academics to a look at the changing meanings of 'evil' in the speeches of U.S. presidents since the mid-twentieth century. She emphasizes the futility of a politics enacted by individuals determined not to offend anyone, and she examines questions of truth, knowledge, and power in relation to 9/11 conspiracy theories. Dean insists that any reestablishment of a vital and purposeful left politics will require shedding the mantle of victimization, confronting the marriage of neo-liberalism and democracy, and mobilizing different terms to represent political strategies and goals.
"Jodi Dean provides an incredibly lucid explanation of what neoliberalism has been in terms of both policy and collective fantasies regarding the relation of markets to freedom. But the really threatening Big Other in this book is not neoliberal ideology, but the failed and flawed leftist will that concedes too much power and unity to neoliberalism. This is a frank polemic that will stimulate many arguments about the past and future of critical theory and democratic politics in the United States." --Lauren Berlant, author of The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship
"Jodi Dean's new book provides what we have all been waiting for: the authentic theoretical analysis of how ideology functions in today's global capitalism. Her diagnosis of 'communicative capitalism' discloses how our 'really-existing democracies' curtail prospects of radical emancipatory politics. Dean demonstrates this status of democracy as a political fantasy not through cheap pseudo-Marxist denunciations, but through a detailed examination of social, symbolic, and libidinal mechanisms and practices. To anyone who continues to dwell in illusions about liberal democracy, one should simply say: 'Hey, didn't you read Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies?'" --Slavoj Zizek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

In the past couple of decades, the potential life-changing capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) has been debated and championed, but some consumers may argue that they are yet to see any significantly tangible changes to their experience. This is a result of many AI developments tinkering with processes that are not always clearly noticeable, but the way that AI impacts on the customer service industry is set to become more blatant and far-reaching in the coming years.
The inexorable growth of data and the creation of more sophisticated algorithms are giving AI more practical applications than ever before. In fact, the use of AI in customer service is likely to become standard across almost all industries in the near future. Through the development of chatbots that can respond at any time to specific consumer questions and complaints to providing an e-commerce experience tailored to an individual's desires, AI is beginning to revolutionise the customer service experience.
This is evident across an eclectic range of industries. The online casino industry has grown and developed in every facet during the past decade to far surpass the popularity of their land-based counterparts. Online casinos have proved more attractive to many because of their convenience and range of games, but these casinos are now also able to match their physical contemporaries for customer service. One online casino that has used AI support to produce an intuitive and responsive chat feature is CasinoCruise, with customers able to input their area of concern to receive relevant advice. This helps to create an atmosphere in which users feel valued at all times, and get answers to their questions faster than before.
That sort of chat feature, or chatbot, is expected to become the default form of customer service across a variety of industries. One corollary of the rise of chatbots is that companies can offer 24/7 customer support; Tech Genix notes how the problems that arise as a result of different time zones can be negated by AI-driven customer service, with 24/7 support now standard in almost all industries as a result of AI.
Companies can not only provide more unfettered access to consumers in terms of support, but they can also use AI to aid in the provision of a personalised service. The development of AI is giving businesses greater insight into consumer habits, with Forbes noting how Spotify deployed AI to analyse data from over 100 million people to highlight noteworthy trends that could have otherwise gone unnoticed. This enabled Spotify to deliver a marketing campaign that felt more attuned to its clientele than previously possible.
A blog from Will Thiel at Pointillist acknowledges how analytic systems powered by AI can evaluate a much larger data pool than other methods, noting how this can allow businesses to predict future consumer moves based on their history. For example, skiing equipment retailer Black Diamond combines insights of individual's purchasing past with analysis of weather conditions to identify suitable products for that consumer.
Research from Oracle indicates that eight out of ten business will aim to have implemented an AI-based customer service solution by 2020, with that number likely to rise. Issues regarding inflexible and ineffective customer support could become a thing of the past, with AI driving the customer service industry into a more efficient future.

Each year, NFL teams have to evaluate countless amounts of prospects to find out who's going to fit their team the best. It's a long and arduous process that takes months, and then immediately they start looking forward to the next year. Certain positions are much safer than others. For instance, teams don't miss much when it comes to offensive linemen, but then there are very volatile positions.
Perhaps the hardest position outside of quarterback to evaluate is wide receiver. It seems that those that were thought to be sure things ended up becoming busts for the most part, with those receivers that were drafted behind the top spot developing into stars. Perhaps it's the chip on the shoulder that lower-drafted receivers get, or scouts just missed out on a certain aspect of a receiver's game. It also raises the question of whether taking a wide receiver in the first round is the best approach.
Whatever the reason, there have been plenty of receivers that deserved to have been drafted much higher than they were. These players have all turned into Pro Bowlers, with some going All-Pro and might even be destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We'll be looking at receivers that were drafted in the second round or later for this list, showing where they should've been drafted. This means that receivers like Odell Beckham, DeAndre Hopkins, Reggie Wayne and Roddy White were big steals in terms of where they were drafted, but these were the true receiver snipes of their respective drafts.
The man that would later go on to become known as Ochocinco, Chad Johnson was a dynamic playmaker at Oregon State. However, he had to wait until the second round until he was drafted by the Bengals in 2001 with the 36th overall selection. He played all but one of his 11 NFL seasons in Cincinnati, finishing with the Patriots in 2011.
Johnson posted 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns during his prestigious career, and was one of the best receivers from his class. The Chicago Bears could've used that type of production from their receiving corps during the 2000s. Instead, they used the eighth overall selection that year on Michigan's David Terrell.
The other big steal of the 2001 NFL's receiver class came the round after Chad Johnson, with Carolina taking Utah receiver Steve Smith with the 74th overall selection. It appears that Smith has put together a career that is worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, after spending 13 years with the Panthers and three with the Ravens.
Smith eclipsed Johnson in yards, putting up 14,731 with 81 touchdowns. Many teams were hungry for a receiver that year, but struck out. Smith should've easily been a top 10 pick in 2001, especially with many busts going before him. Among them was Koren Robinson, who had just one solid season in his career with the 2002 campaign for the Seahawks.
Skipping ahead to 2003, we find the biggest receiver steal of that year's draft with Anquan Boldin. The physical route-runner from Florida State had to wait until the 54th overall selection until he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. Boldin ended up with almost identical stats to Steve Smith, putting up 13,779 receiving yards and 82 touchdowns over his 14 seasons that included stops in Baltimore, San Francisco and Detroit after his stint in Arizona.
Andre Johnson was the second receiver off the board that year when he went third overall to the Texans, and that worked out just fine. However, the Lions selected Charles Rogers from Michigan State just before him. That would've been a good spot for Boldin, getting him to the Motor City long before he actually arrived.
There was another gap of receivers being drafted exactly where they should've been taken, so we jump ahead once more to 2006 where there were two big steals. The first was an overlooked MAC receiver from Western Michigan, Greg Jennings, who was the 52nd overall selection by the Green Bay Packers. Spending seven years in Green Bay, Jennings teamed up with Aaron Rodgers for 6,537 of his 8,291 career yards and 53 of his 64 touchdowns.
It was a pretty shallow draft class for receivers, with only one (Santonio Holmes) being drafted in the first round. It's likely that Jennings would've been a better fit for the Patriots, who took a receiver (Chad Jackson) in the second round, and Laurence Maroney in the first. Either spot would have worked.
Not only was Brandon Marshall the biggest receiver steal in the 2006 NFL Draft, but he ended up being the best wideout of the bunch in terms of overall career. He had to wait until the fourth round to be called, going 119th overall to the Broncos. In 2018, Marshall was still playing in the NFL as a member of the Seahawks, showing off his longevity.
Marshall has played for six teams in his NFL career, most notably with Denver and Chicago, posting 12,351 yards and 83 touchdowns. Marshall should have gone to the Raiders, who drafted safety Michael Huff with the seventh overall spot, instead. Huff didn't work out, and the Raiders ended up finishing 2-14 in 2006.
2007 didn't have much in terms of receiver steals, but 2008 sure had plenty of them. The first of the steals was Jordy Nelson, a Kansas State receiver that some considered to be more of a return specialist. The Packers decided he was worthy of being a starting receiver, taking him with the 36th overall selection.
Interestingly enough, the first receiver taken off of the board was Donnie Avery, just three spots ahead of Nelson. Instead, the receiver who's still active in the league deserved to be drafted much higher. The Jets with the sixth selection could've brought some opportunities to the team who had the likes of Jerricho Cotchery and an aging Laveranues Coles at that point.
Another receiver that was overlooked because teams thought he was one-dimensional, DeSean Jackson out of Cal was drafted toward the end of the second round as the 49th overall selection by the Eagles. Of course, it ended up being a good fit for the Eagles...until Chip Kelly came around. In a perfect world, Jackson's deep threat ability deserved to have him drafted higher.
The Jaguars had the likes of Dennis Northcutt and Troy Williamson on their roster at that point. With the eighth overall pick, Jackson belonged on their roster. That's especially when you consider that he's put up over 10,000 yards and 53 touchdowns during his career with the Eagles, Redskins and Buccaneers.
Jackson ended up being teammates in Washington with Pierre Garcon when the two were major free agent signings. Both also ended up being draft steals originally, with Garcon being a massive steal as a sixth round pick, 205th overall by the Indianapolis Colts. Garcon was overlooked coming out of Division III Mount Union, but ended up being an NFL catch machine.
Garcon has 628 receptions in his long career, with 7,854 yards and 38 touchdowns. Those numbers aren't quite as high as his counterparts, but amazing for a sixth rounder. If the Rams were fishing for a receiver in 2008, they should've opted to draft Garcon instead of Donnie Avery.
Mike Wallace is much like DeSean Jackson in the fact that he's best suited as a deep threat, which is often undermined in the NFL when you can't run all of the routes. Because of that, Ole Miss receiver Wallace had to wait until the 84th pick (late third round) by the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his four years there, he became a Pro Bowler and posted two 1,000 plus yard seasons.
Overall, Wallace has over 8,000 yards and 57 receiving touchdowns, playing briefly in 2018 with the Eagles. Overall, the receiver class that year was lacking, but Wallace could still be regarded as the best in 2009, fighting with Michael Crabtree. The Raiders took the speedy Darrius Heyward-Bey that year with the eighth selection, but if they wanted a fast receiver, Wallace would've been better.
Golden Tate was an amazing receiver while at Notre Dame. So much so, in fact, that he helped convince Mel Kiper that Jimmy Clausen was a lock to be an NFL star. Instead, Tate became the star himself, despite being drafted 60th overall by the Seahawks. Between his time with the Seahawks, Lions and Eagles, Tate has over 7,200 yards and 38 touchdowns.
This ended up being a good class, so it's hard to say where the big steals should have gone. The first receivers off the board were Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant, two Pro Bowlers. The best fit for Tate would've been at the 16th overall selection. That year, the Titans took Derrick Morgan, who has been a solid player, but not quite the difference maker Tate has been at times. Again, 2010 was a very good class.
One round after Tate was selected, SMU receiver Emmanuel Sanders was taken with the 82nd selection by the Steelers. It was another solid steal for Pittsburgh, where he played four seasons before playing his most recent five in Denver. Even in 2018, Sanders is still posting solid seasons, having 868 yards to put him over 7,000 in his career.
The Falcons used the 19th overall selection on current free agent Sean Weatherspoon, before the team had a receiver to complement Roddy White, which eventually became Julio Jones. Prior to Jones joining the roster, Sanders could have been an Atlanta Falcon.
By far the biggest steal of the 2010 NFL Draft, receiver or not, might very well be the best player that was taken in that year. Yet another Steelers snipe, Brown was a sixth round pick out of Central Michigan, where he showed the playmaking ability long before he started to show signs of lock room conflict.
Since he was arguably the best player in the draft that year, it's not out of the question to say that Brown should've been the first overall pick. The Rams used that pick on Sam Bradford, the oft-injured player that is still looking for a home. The six players drafted after Bradford have all been studs, but Brown really stands out.
There are two teams that are pretty constant with being able to find the diamonds in the rough, particularly at receiver. Outside of Pittsburgh, Green Bay has done quite well for themselves. In 2011, the team used the final selection of the second round on Kentucky receiver Randall Cobb. Cobb has been with the Packers ever since, putting up 5,524 yards and 41 touchdowns.
Cobb isn't the best receiver in his class, as both A.J. Green and Julio Jones were taken high, as they should've been. The Chiefs that year took Jonathan Baldwin out of Pitt in the first round, which produced no results. What's now a high powered offense could've been better years earlier with Cobb.
There were some good receivers in the 2012 NFL Draft, but teams took their time to find them. It wasn't until the 45th overall selection that the Bears found one of the two solid receivers when they took Alshon Jeffery out of South Carolina. Jeffery spent five seasons in Chicago, and now his last two in Philadelphia. So far, he's posted 6,181 yards and 41 touchdowns, helping both of his squads tremendously.
The Jaguars that year used the fifth overall selection on receiver Justin Blackmon out of Oklahoma State. The receiver ended up barely playing due to off-the-field issues, while Jeffery has been consistent every year.
Guys like Kendall Wright, A.J. Jenkins, Brian Quick and Stephen Hill were all taken before Jeffery in 2012, as well as Florida International standout T.Y. Hilton. The Colts selected him toward the very end of the third round, which has been a blessing with the pairing resulting in 8,097 yards and 40 touchdowns for the Pro Bowler, including no seasons under 966 yards since his rookie year.
Not mentioned in those receivers that were taken before Hilton was Michael Floyd out of Notre Dame, the 13th overall selection by the Cardinals. Hilton in that Cardinals offense with Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald would've clicked much faster, and perhaps have gotten the desert their first Super Bowl.
When healthy, Keenan Allen is considered one of the most dynamic playmakers at wide receiver. In his four full seasons with the Chargers, Allen has posted 4,418 yards and 28 touchdowns, and is averaging nearly 75 yards per game. However, Allen wasn't selected until the Chargers chose him in the third round, 76th overall.
Save for DeAndre Hopkins and the late-developing Robert Woods, the 2013 receiver class hasn't been great. Allen should have been a member of the Rams before they made their move to Los Angeles. That year, they selected Tavon Austin out of West Virginia, who has proven to be a mediocre receiver and solid return man.
2014 was an above average draft class for wide receivers, which is perhaps why Davante Adams had to wait so long to be selected. Adams is yet another Packers player to join the list, being the 53rd overall selection out of Fresno State. Adams has developed as Green Bay's top target, having his best season in 2018 with 1,386 yards and 13 touchdowns, bringing his career total to 4,197 and 39.
The Bills ended up with Sammy Watkins with the fourth overall pick, who is no longer on the team, and hasn't been all that great with the Chiefs. Adams would be a perfect fit into that offense, rounding out a tremendous first round for receivers that would've also included Odell Beckham, Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks.
The Saints have had a way of finding tremendous offensive talent in the last few drafts, which has helped them become perennial contenders and put them on the verge of reaching the Super Bowl this past season. At least now they have a receiver for years to come, as they selected Ohio State wideout Michael Thomas with the 47th overall pick.
So far, Thomas had his least productive season as a rookie...and he still posted 1,137 yards with nine touchdowns. So far, Thomas is on pace for a Hall of Fame career, which is something that the Browns probably wish they had at receiver. The team passed up on the in-state prospect with the 15th selection to take Corey Coleman out of Baylor.
The 2016 NFL Draft also featured one of the most dynamic players that the league has seen in quite some time. That player, of course, is Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill. Everyone knew about his speed, but his off-the-field issues kept the West Alabama product off the board until the 165th overall selection.
On top of being an amazing return man, Hill has had two straight 1,100 plus yard seasons, including 2018's 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns through the air. Hill got comfortable with Alex Smith in his first two seasons, and they could've teamed up again with the Redskins. Washington took TCU receiver Josh Doctson that year, who has been quite the bust so far.
Once again, the Steelers prove that they are able to find and develop receivers at any point in the NFL Draft. To team up with former draft steal Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh selected USC receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with the 62nd overall selection. Smith-Schuster had a tremendous rookie season with 917 yards in 14 games, and improved to 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns in his second year.
Surprisingly, four receivers were drafted ahead of Smith-Schuster. That includes Corey Davis, the Western Michigan receiver that was taken fifth overall by the Titans. While Davis hasn't been bad, and in fact shows signs of becoming a very good receiver, Smith-Schuster has already shown that he was worthy of being a top five selection.
