1On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel; 2and he said to Aaron, "Take a bull calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 3And say to the people of Israel, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering, 4and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and a cereal offering mixed with oil; for today the Lord will appear to you.' " 5And they brought what Moses commanded before the tent of meeting; and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. 6And Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do; and the glory of the Lord will appear to you." 7Then Moses said to Aaron, "Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and bring the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the Lord has commanded."
8So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar; 10but the fat and the kidneys and the appendage of the liver from the sin offering he burned upon the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses. 11The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
12And he killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, and he threw it on the altar round about. 13And they delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head; and he burned them upon the altar. 14And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
15Then he presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first sin offering. 16And he presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 17And he presented the cereal offering, and filled his hand from it, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.
18He killed the ox also and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, which he threw upon the altar round about, 19and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the appendage of the liver; 20and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat upon the altar, 21but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord; as Moses commanded.
22Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings. 23And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting; and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24And fire came forth from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Sofia Vergara 'Smoking Hot and Talented' on Saturday Night Live [PHOTOS]
We know Colombian actress Sofia Vergara is one of the hottest women in the world - that delicious accent alone would ensure that - and her presence is probably one of the biggest reasons why American sitcom "Modern Family" is so successful! Amid all that beauty, however, is another very obvious fact - she is an extremely talented actress!
Vergara was on Saturday Night Live (SNL), this weekend, dressed, according to E!Online, in a skin-tight, cleavage-baring bustier dress and her first joke of the evening was a good-humoured dig at her own accent.
"You might have noticed I have a bit of an accent sometimes, I love it. This accent makes anything sound sexy. Listen, 'gonorrhea, New Jersey, Rick Santorum.' So, tonight, please forgive me if you cannot understand what I say, and I will forgive you for staring at my chest the whole night," she told the audience, in all apparent seriousness.
However, the most important (sarcastic?) comment of the night was yet to come. It was about how welcoming the US was to immigrants.
"I always heard that immigrants had a really hard life when they came to America. But when I showed up here, everyone was so nice! The men bought me drinks and offered me a place to sleep. This country welcomed me with open arms and pulled down pants," Vergara was quoted as saying by Fox News.
The audience remained, according to reports, absolutely mesmerised... and not just because it was Sofia Vergara in a skin-tight dress on stage. The actress was in fine form and sizzling from the very first second. According to Fox News, Vergara played a Pantene spokeswoman, impersonated Fran Drescher and parodied the Hunger Games.
For the latter impersonation, she took on the role of a television reporter called Maria Gutierrez, who was broadcasting live from the "74th annual Hunger Games" and interviewed contestants who were either scared to death or near death. For the "The Manuel Ortiz Show", Vergara looked adorable in her blonde wig and for the Pantene Shampoo commercial, she played herself... the normal, sexy way.
The Huffington Post reviewed Vergara's performance saying the one important conclusion that could be taken home was the actress "sure knows to yell". The review, however, was an average 5.58... although it did acknowledge she was talented.
Meanwhile, she was joined on the show by British boy band One Direction, who played "What Makes You Beautiful" and "One Thing".

The Matinee July 13th
Published on July 13, 2017 July 13, 2017 by Ben Yung
The Matinee July 13th offers another round of great new music. There are some spine-tingling numbers, gritty rockers, quirky electronic pop, and a folk tune that will have you smiling. Let's get to the tunes.
TORRES – "Three Futures" (Brooklyn, USA)
RIYL: St. Vincent, Waxahatchee, Weyes Blood
Mackenzie Scott, a.k.a. TORRES, has slowly trickled out new music and teasers, offering hints that something big was on the horizon. Last month, she shared "Skim", which was a tantalizing, psychological affair that showed a different and more expansive side to the indie rocker. Yesterday, she shared a brand new song and made it official – album number three is arriving in in the autumn.
To mark the occasion, TORRES released the record's title track, "Three Futures". Like her previous single, "Three Futures" is a stark, bleak but beautiful number. The pace is deliberate, yet the mood is intense and foreboding. It's even creepy and spine-tingling in a Twilight Zone kind of way. The storyline is also fascinating and eerie, as she tells a tale of three people's lives colliding at once – two of whom are a couple and the other a stranger. For a while, they are all going their own separate ways, but one event brings them all together. The song's video, which is below, reveals everything.
TORRES' third album, Three Futures, will be released on September 29th via 4AD. Pre-order options are available here.
Beaches – "Void" (Melbourne, Australia)
RIYL: Death Valley Girls, INHEAVEN, Wooden Shjips,
Australia is more than just kangaroos, the Outback, great wine, and koala bears. It is the place to best psychedelic rock, as the likes of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Tame Impala, Pond, and Dune Rats reign over the genre. One band we shouldn't forget is Beaches.
As the quintet from Melbourne approach the 10th anniversary of their first show, their third album – and first since 2013's She Beats – is on the horizon, and the first single is a fantastic (re-)introduction to the band. Like fireworks exploding over the Sydney Harbour, "Void" is three-and-a-half minutes of joyous, psychedelic eruptions. The multi-layered guitars are pure delirium, the buzzing synths are hypnotic, and the hammering rhythms are cathartic. Add in whirling vocals, and "Void" becomes the answer to our need for some blissed-out indie rock.
Beaches' new album, Second Of Spring, is due September 8th via Chapter Music. The band is comprised of Ali McCann, Alison Bolger, Antonia Sellbach, Gill Tucker, and Karla Way.

The Blow – "Get Up" (Brooklyn, USA)
RIYL: electric drum-driven, minimalist electronica
Much of today's electronica features overproduced songs that only have one intention – to get people throbbing in one sweaty mess. Brooklyn-based duo The Blow are the exact opposition. Khaela Maricich and Melissa Dyne have demonstrated over the years that their brand of punk-infused, minimalist electronica can still be entertaining, but in a different way. Take for instance their newest single, "Get Up".
The production work is low-key and even a touch oft-kilter, yet it is uncannily addictive. The shallow rhythms that set the tempo, in particular, are wildly catchy, having you shaking your shoulders and hopping around the living room like a rabbit. Then there is the storyline, which is part a sitcom out of Seth MacFarlane's mind and another part a sci-fi tale that Simon Pegg could have written (although there's a reference to Mordor). There are several lines that are memorable, such as:
I guess I just showed up too late
To get the 3D real estate.
It's like I came a little late to the orgy.
All the pals are formed; there aren't any opening for me.
But the one set of lyrics that define the song are:
I'm inside your head right now.
Good luck getting me out.
I'm going to take whatever space I can find.
I'll make it nice so you won't mind.
Brilliant, fun, quirky, and just awesome. "Get Up" is the lead track from the band's new album, Brand New Abyss. It drops September 22nd.
The Delicates – "Fantastical Mind" (Gold Coast, Australia)
RIYL: Courtney Barnett, Alvvays, Palehound
A year ago, we were introduced to The Delicates, who impressed us with their jangle, surf-pop single, "Chimera". Three weeks ago, the seven-piece band released their self-titled debut EP. From it is "Fantastical Mind", which is like the beautiful, sunny shores of the Gold Coast.
The shimmering, jangly guitar notes are the first thing that are noticed, bellowing like a cool ocean breeze. The soft, honeyed vocals are what come next, and they are show stopping. Seriously, you will stop what you're doing and allow yourself to become devoured by their sweetness. The storytelling is imaginative and clever, akin to the societal observations of Courtney Barnett. Meanwhile, the gentle throb of the bass line and the jittery drumming give the song a cool groove.
Where the song really takes off, though, is right after the bridge when the trumpet enters the fray and the song turns into a little beach party. Fantastic indeed.
Pick up The Delicates' EP on Bandcamp. If anyone knows the collective's names, please let us know.
Future Generations – "One More Problem" (Bronx, NY, USA)
RIYL: Gang of Youths, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Sundara Karma
New York City is obviously filled with stupendous artists and bands. Walk around any corner in East Village, Brooklyn, or Soho, and you're bound to find someone or something to your liking. In the jungle that is the Big Apple, many groups get lost in the shuffle unless you're one truly mining for some music gems. And one of those jewels is Future Generations, a band who caught the ear of the fine folks at Frenchkiss Records and released their debut album a year ago.
Since the LP release, the quintet has kept a low profile until recently. They first announced a two-week tour of the U.S. east coast (dates are here), and on Friday they shared their first single, "One More Problem". The song is a reminder of the band's brilliant ability to create anthemic indie pop-rock. Immediately, the song surges with intensity led by a driving rhythm section and some wonderful crystalline guitars. The upbeat melody will have you spinning around and getting lost in the addictive soundscape. Frontman Eddie Gore then joins the fray, providing an uplifting message of perseverance and moving forward. This tune will be stuck in your head for days, assuming you're not constantly hitting repeat like us. So why are these guys still relatively unknown?
Future Generations are Eddie Gore, Mike Sansevere, Eric Grossman, Devon Sheridan, and Dylan Wells. The song is out on Frenchkiss Records.
HVMM – "Going Postal" (Worchester, England)
RIYL: Blood Red Shoes, Jack White, early The Black Keys
We have a saying around here – another day and another rock band from the UK to blow us away. Indie-rock and post-punk bands tend to be the ones we gravitate to, but quartet HVMM are a mixed bag. Mixing gritty blues rock with the catharsis of garage rock, the Worchester-based group are channeling Jack White and early The Black Keys while adding a touch of the no-nonsense attitude of Rage Against The Machine. Want evidence? Look no further than their new single, "Going Postal".
Like a tiger stalking its prey, the song commences with a patient pace as the band creates a suspenseful yet eerie atmosphere. The guitars are strikingly dark, the rhythms are heavy, and the lead vocals of Andy Teece are urgent and a touch menacing. The soundscape is perfect as Teece takes us on consumerism and how our obsessions turn us into madmen or even werewolves, where we're always lusting for the newest trends and styles. "Don't look twice at that woman you've seen before", Teece exclaims. The finale is pretty awesome as well, as the song turns into a controlled malice. It would be pretty awesome to hear this song live.
"Going Postal" is taken from HVMM's forthcoming new EP, Talk To Me Like I'm Dead. It will be release September 1st, and pre-order and streaming links are available here.
The band consists of Andy Teece (vocals/guitar), Ebony Clay (lead guitar), Jack Timmis (bass), and Samuel Jenkins (drums).
Joseph Childress – "Virginia Bound" (San Francisco, USA)
RIYL: Kevin Morby, Trevor Sensor, John Prine
Joseph Childress knew at an early age that he wanted to be a musician. He was writing his first songs at the age of 14 in Teller County, Colorado and performing them to whoever wanted to hear him sing. After graduating high school, he packed up his guitar, gathered his belongings, and headed to the great city of San Francisco. His first album, which included demos and recordings of his journeys in the west, was released and re-mastered during this time. During this time, Taka Tozawa, Arvel Hernandez, Ian McBrayer, and Aaron Robinson would join Childress on his next adventure, which officially commenced this week.
Childress' self-titled sophomore album will be released October 6th via Empty Cellar Records, and the first single is the appropriately titled "Virginia Bound". Whereas Childress looked west to chase his dreams, he looks east to find love. Well, he tells the story of a man falling in love and heading to Virginia to be with the one he has taken his heart. The song is classic folk-rock music of the '60s and '70s with the banjo, fiddle, guitar, double bass, and drums floating effortlessly in the air and Childress' voice rising above them. It's a fabulous song that will remind you of simpler times. A song that will leave a permanent smile on your face.
Ramonda Hammer – "Too Much, Too Recently" (Los Angeles, USA)
RIYL: Slothrust, Speedy Ortiz, Bully
We've run up out superlatives in describing indie-rock quartet Ramonda Hammer. They shook us right down to our souls with the emotionally charged, "If, Then". They blew our minds out with the edgy "Zombie Sweater". The first two songs from their forthcoming EP solidified our fandom. "Destroyers" was a reminder of the greatness of '90s grunge while "Bender" was a roller coaster-like experience. Our lasting impression of the band, however, isn't all about the music, but also the tremendous songwriting found in every single track. Their latest single, "Too Much, Too Recently", is no different, and it represents the pinnacle of their craft.
While the volume has been lowered, the intensity remains, particularly in frontwoman Devin Davis' vocals. Pain seeps through every word she sings, and her lyrics suggest a woman who is holding on to the pass but wondering what the future holds. The guitar also gently weeps on this grunge ballad while the rhythm section is deliberate in its pacing and stuttering like a wounded heart. For over two minutes, the song maintains an even flow before it builds into a gorgeous wave of urgent sound. It isn't a fiery or explosive ending, but rising just enough to have us feel the longing in Davis' heart.
We said it before and we'll say it again – if grunge makes a comeback, we'll have Ramonda Hammer to thank. They are truly music revivalists.
Their new EP, Destroyers, will be released August 4th via New Professor Music. Pre-orders available here.
Ramonda Hammer are Devin Davis, Andy Hengl, Justin Geter, and Mark Edwards.

I've been nominated by Lise for this cute award, be sure to check out her amazing blog.
Wow this is a hard question, I would choose a survival knife for protection and probably help me in getting food. I wouldn't choose a person as in human because I don't want my loved ones to suffer in that stranded island so I choose a pet, preferably a dog. Lastly I would choose drinking water as a food item because it'll be hard finding fresh water I guess.
Well I could say but I feel it'll somehow offend certain people and it'll open a politics thread of comments so I'm going to skip this question, sorry.
I started mainly to write about motherhood and venting about it but it branched from there and I'm glad that I did.
Well it's a blog for my thoughts and I'm still in my twenties so I guess it fits my blog personality but I think I have to change it once I reach 30.
Sushi, I'm too obsessed with it.
I overthink too much and it drives me to get negative ideas.
I don't and not because I'm lazy, it's just hard for me to change. Change is a scary process for me even if it was for the best.
Well recently I got offered to work in the radio and have my own music show, I'm planning to try to get out of my comfort zone and accept it.
I really enjoyed these questions and I'm going to choose them for the people I'm nominating.
Thanks for nominating me. Your question to number 2 is funny. Bringing a dog might be helpful. I imagined you having a dog like Hewie from Haunting Ground.

April 21, 2022 April 21, 2022 cpooldigitalLeave a Comment on HCL Tech Q4 net triples to ₹3,593 crore
HCL Technologies on Thursday reported fourth-quarter net profit of ₹3,593 crore, a more than threefold jump from a year earlier.Net profit during the January-March 2021 quarter was ₹1,102 crore
The company said it expected the revenue to grow in the range of 12%-14% in the current fiscal on 'strong momentum' across verticals.
The company reported a net profit of ₹1,102 crore during the January-March 2021 quarter.
Revenue rose 15% to ₹22,597 crore.
For full-year FY22, HCL said net profit grew 4.3% to ₹13,499 crore and revenues climbed 13.6% to ₹85,651 crore. It elaborated that for comparison purposes, net profit of Q4 and full-year FY21 excluded the impact of one-time bonus paid to employees.
"We have delivered yet another stellar quarter in our services business, where the revenue is up 5% QoQ and up 17.5% YoY in constant currency," C. Vijayakumar, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, HCL Technologies Ltd., said. "Over the last three quarters, our services business has been consistently growing organically at 5% and higher, delivering one of the highest CAGR in the industry."
He added that the overall growth on YoY basis stands at 12.7% which is better than the guidance led by strong momentum in Digital, Cloud and Engineering services. "We continue to invest proactively to create a larger talent pool to address the demand," Mr. Vijayakumar added.
HCL Technology expects revenue to grow between 12% to 14% in constant currency in FY 23, and EBIT margin is expected to be between 18% to 20% "based on pretty strong momentum that the company has seen over the past three quarters".
Mr. Vijayakumar noted that the company gave guidance till last year when the guidance was more directional, but given all the uncertainties around, the company wanted to make things easier for investors and give a more precise guidance this year. "Demand environment continues to be quite robust… we feel pretty confident and that has enabled us to provide guidance for the coming year."
The company's board also announced a dividend of ₹18 per share for the quarter, taking the payout for the year to ₹44 per share for the year.
The company said it saw strong client addition across all categories. "On YoY basis, USD 100 mn+ clients up by 1, USD 50 mn+ clients up by 8, USD 20 mn+ clients up by 22, USD 10 mn+ clients up by 30, and USD 5 mn+ clients up by 31, USD 1 mn+ clients up by 73," it said.

National movement launched to 'drive change' in computing science at Scottish schools
Poppy Watson, May 12, 2021 3 min read
A national movement to inspire and support the next generation of computing scientists in Scotland's schools has been launched today by a team of teachers and industry leaders.
The Digital Technology Education Charter aims to encourage pupils to choose computing science where it is available to them as an option and raise awareness of the 'diverse career opportunities' available to young people in the Scottish tech sector.
It was created in response to the declining uptake of computing science as a school subject and the sharp drop in the number of computing studies teachers, which means many Scottish schools no longer offer the subject.
The charter, which was launched by DressCode – an initiative that encourages girls into the male-dominated subject – also aims to bring together schools, industry, academia, and other stakeholders to identify what can be done to increase the student uptake in computing science.
Toni Scullion, a computing science teacher, founder of DressCode and driving force behind the new charter, says it was former Skyscanner chief operating officer Mark Logan's Scottish Technology Ecosystem Review that had inspired it.
In his report, Logan, who now teaches computing science at the University of Glasgow, highlighted a number of challenges Scotland faces with regards to the subject at schools and 'put education at the heart of the solution.'
Scullion said: "It has been well documented that computing science at schools in Scotland has been dramatically declining over the years. At the turn of this century around 20,000 pupils were studying the subject at secondary level but this has dropped to barely 10,000 and with the proportion of girls remaining more or less static at around 20 percent.
"We know that we need to inspire pupils into the subject at an early age. We do not have enough pupils coming through and if we don't do something at school level we are not going to have a talent pool so you won't have Scottish kids coming up through the system, creating their own companies, investing back into Scotland, and creating revenue.
"Computing science is integral to every single industry, so we need to solve this problem. We have got the talent in Scotland, we have the energy and will for change amongst computing science teachers community, industry and organisations. We have the global brands, we just need to pull it together and I hope that this charter will help build the bridge between industry and education and ultimately play a big role in inspiring the next generation into computing science. "
The Digital Technology Education Charter's new site reads: "This charter is for individuals, schools, colleges, universities, and organisations of all sizes from all sectors. If you want to do more to help inspire the next generation and encourage them to choose computing science then join our charter. Together we can do more, we can make a difference."
The charter's team includes a variety of leaders from industry as well as computing science teachers who want the subject to 'thrive in all Scottish schools and see more pupils ultimately ending up in the tech sector in Scotland.'

The Majority View
Next World
Back Story
Everything 061 (Everything failed, but not forever)
Everything failed, but not forever
On June 1, 2017, the elected leaders of the United States government and all the people who participate in the conservative movement to shrink the government to a size that you could put into a bathtub and drown, decided the government would no longer participate with all but two of the nations on Earth to clean up the planet and prevent the dynamic processes that surround it from driving life toward extinction.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the people of the United States have more sense than that and will continue to work together with the rest of humanity to improve things and prevent devastation.
Enormous wealth will be created in the transition to the next phase of energy production in which the machines are run by electricity and electricity is produced near its place of use and wholly different fleets of shared electric vehicles move around the cities supporting human mobility, which is also defined by lots of walking around in complete communities where people are safe and healthy.
As luck would have it, many of those incredibly rich people who made the decision to abdicate world leadership own stock in the companies that will create this new world and all its new wealth and so will become even richer, even while having made the process much more difficult and expensive than it had to be.
Along the way, many lives will be lost to heat and disease and starvation and despair, but those deaths will not be among the families of these deciders. There will also be killing and maiming in wars around the world, but again, the families of the deciders will not be affected, except insofar as they are invested in weapons and violence in order to increase their wealth.
Still, we'll come out the other side in better shape than we're in now if our collective instincts toward survival and good times keep us focused on creating the next world, for ourselves and our children and their children.
The overwhelming majority of people are good people, some with more awareness of consciousness than others, and at some point the good people have agree to share more of the world while easing the stress of the people who feel compelled toward cruelty and made-up religious economic theories..

At the same time, the right extension can improve your Web experience without ruining the browser's stripped-down style.
Here we pick out our favourite 20 extensions for Chrome, listed in no particular order of preference. All of these extensions can be found on the Chrome Web Store — bear in mind that you can sync Chrome extensions across multiple machines if you want to, via the Personal Stuff page of the Settings tab.
Let us know about your own favourite extensions in the comments below.
The best extensions feel like built-in browser features, which is the case with Google Dictionary. Once the extension's installed, double-click on a word to see an instant pop-up definition (with a link for further information) — find out exactly what "cornucopia" means without interrupting your browsing. Alternatively, you can also look up a word by clicking on the extension icon in the toolbar.
If you're new to Buffer, it spreads out your tweets over a predetermined schedule, so your followers aren't overloaded. It's not suitable for time-sensitive tweets (complaining about the latest episode of Homelandperhaps), but it's perfect for queueing up links and such like. The Chrome extension works flawlessly, composing and buffering your tweet in a couple of mouse clicks.
If you're using an Android phone or tablet, you can use the Chrome to Phone extension to quickly send links and other content to your mobile device, either via the right-click menu or the extension icon. You'll also need to install the Chrome to Phone app on your Android device, where you can choose whether to open up links automatically.
Google has extensions for just about all of its multitude of products and services, but the Google Calendar one is worth a look — not only does it provide an at-a-glance overview of your upcoming events, it can also recognise when a webpage contains an event (such as a Facebook page) and enables you to add the event to your calendar with a single click.
Keeping bookmarks and starred tweets is all well and good, but Evernotelets you create a fully fledged interactive scrapbook of all the interesting material you find on the Web. This is one of the official extensions, which enables you to quickly add content to your Evernote account ready for sorting out later. You'll need to register an account at first.
Get past the over-the-top name and Awesome Screenshot is a very useful screenshot tool that manages to be both packed with features and easy to use. It's possible to add annotations, capture entire webpages (even when they are only partially visible), share pictures quickly via the internet, and more. Images can be saved locally, uploaded or copied to the clipboard as required.
If you're looking for a bigger version of a certain image or want to find out where a picture originated from, then TinEye can help — this reverse image search takes your source picture and looks for other matching instances of it on the Web. There's no icon added to the Chrome interface, just an extra option on the right-click context menu.
Take more control over what your PC and your browser knows about you with Click&Clean — the extension can help you erase your browsing history, edit your privacy settings, remove tabs based by domain, view cached video files, and more. It also links to some of Chrome's less well-known areas, such as the built-in Task Manager.
Tabbed browsing means we're all surfing the Web faster and more efficiently than ever before, but if you often find yourself lost in a forest of open tabs, use TooManyTabs to better manage them. Get an overview of all open tabs, 'suspend' individual tabs for later viewing, search through all of your tabs at once, and more.
If you need to download all of the files from a particular page, be they pictures or Zip files, Download Master can lend a hand. Click the extension icon to see a list of all available links, which you can then filter based on file type or keyword. The downloads themselves are handled by Chrome's built-in download manager.
Banish adverts, sidebar videos and other on-screen junk with Readability — click the extension icon to see a clean, clear version of the article you're currently viewing. The extension works without a Readability account, though if you sign up for one you can also save articles for later reading. The extension can send articles to your Kindle device too.
Gmail is getting better at adding contact info alongside emails, butRapportive is still streets ahead. Pull in data from Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks to make the right-hand contact pane much more useful. The extension works seamlessly in the background, requires little in the way of configuration and soon feels like a native part of Gmail.
Last.fm's various desktop clients and integrated tools do a decent job of tracking your listening history, but what about the tunes you're hearing on the wilds of the Web? If you want to log these tracks too, install the Last.fm scrobbler extension, which can pick up songs on YouTube, MySpace, Deezer and many other streaming websites.
If you happen to have joined the eReading revolution, then the Send to Kindle extension will definitely be of interest — transfer webpages and articles to your portable device with most of the unwanted extras stripped out along the way. The extension has been tweaked to work well with a wide range of sites, including Wikipedia, Quora, Google Reader, MetaFilter and others.
Does a webpage exist if it hasn't been shared on a social media network? If you're eager to share your latest online find with as many of your contacts as possible, AddThis makes it easy. It's tightly integrated with the big two (Facebook and Twitter) and supports many more services besides — it can even work with Gmail and Instapaper.
Based around content from Radioplayer, the official UK hub for over 300 online stations, Radioplayer pops up in a new window and lets you listen to the football commentary or enjoy the biggest hits of the 80s while you browse. Additional content underneath the playback bar, from information about the current show to further reading on the Web, varies from station to station.
Opening a new tab for Wikipedia-ing purposes is old hat — use this streamlined extension instead and avoid having to leave the page you're on. Recent lookups are saved for future reference, and you can browse forwards and backwards in the extension window, which displays the mobile version of Wikipedia pages to make them as compact as possible.
Chrome has plenty of nifty security features built in, but Dr.Web Anti-Virus Link Checker adds another useful one without slowing down the program or your browsing. Once installed, the extension lets you scan links before you visit them, just in case your group of friends and family has a tendency to pass on a lot of virus-filled URLs.
Finally, an extension to help you better manage your extensions, as well as the themes and apps you've installed within Google Chrome's walls.Extensions Manager filter through outdated or disabled extensions and toggle their status with a single click, and access the options page for any installed extension. Google would do well to incorporate the ideas here into Chrome itself.
Want to know where you've spent all your time on the Web? Are you absolutely sure? timeStats beta sits quietly in the toolbar logging everything that you do and then brings up a sleek-looking pie chart visualising just how much time you've spent on Twitter. Follow the Additional link to see an even more detailed breakdown of the places you've been.

I want to share a handful of words on fitness marketing/fitness center marketing plans and marketing to help increase new membership sales in your well being club, ladies only health club or studio. The employees at Marketplace Street (Tisa and 1 of the floor manager) I consider, told me that they would call me back on 15 May possibly 2014 as they need to verify with their head office if they can arrange for my membership transfer, and today is already 18 May possibly 2014 but they did not even bother to make a get in touch with back to me to inform me of the arrangements that they have created for me. I am very displeased with their service.
I am the one particular who gets to pick where I devote my tough earned dollars, and if I do not like the service if I am naive about the service if I am irresponsible for not reading an agreement and any other condemnations or judgements you have decided to render against me regardless, I nonetheless have a constitutional right to cost-free speech, and the expression of my dissatisfaction with the service the firm provided.
When we told her that we wanted to cancel our membership, we had been told that we will have to spend a penalty of RM400 if we wanted to do so. She also reminded us that the contract we signed clearly states that they are permitted to boost our membership charges with no prior notice contradicting to what she promised us verbally when we refused to sign up for the package a month ago.
These illustrations you made, the straightforward internet site menu, the relationships you make it attainable to promote it's most superb, and it's actually facilitating our son in addition to the family believe that this article is amusing, and that is actually fundamental. Based on your life style and fitness encounter, other characteristics might be essential to you when picking a fitness center.

Alan L. McPherson, Yannick Wehrli, eds. Beyond Geopolitics: New Histories of Latin America at the League of Nations. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2015. 304 pp. $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8263-5165-4.
Alan L. McPherson and Yannick Wehrli's Beyond Geopolitics: New Histories of Latin America at the League of Nations is a welcome new collection that challenges the notion that the League of Nations was, as it has long been regarded, an exclusively European organization, relevant only to those who study a European metropole and its colonies. While scholarship on the League has seen tremendous growth in recent years, Latin America has remained, as the editors emphasize, very much on the margins of this new work. This volume seeks to move Latin America from those margins: after all, as Wehrli points out, "only Latin American participation allowed [the League] to truly claim its status as a world organization" (p. 6). The presence of Latin American representatives, then, allowed the League to live up to its claims of universality, to being a global organization and not just a European one. Indeed, more than a third of members in the early years of the League were Latin American nation-states. And yet this presence has long been ignored, even as the history of the League has been broadened beyond the work of the Secretariat, and transnationalized beyond Geneva. The essays in this collection, however, successfully illuminate the role that Latin American diplomats, economists, and labor leaders played within the organization, through participation in debates around security, labor, intellectual and scientific cooperation, and economic and social issues.
The authors of this collection set out, laudably, to demonstrate that "participation in the [League of Nations] had a real impact on Latin American politics and societies" (p. 3). In this endeavor, the collection succeeds, demonstrating that although there was sustained skepticism throughout the region about both the utility and the efficacy of the organization, the League provided an important forum for international cooperation and debate on questions of diplomacy, economics, culture, and science. But what of the reverse of this formulation, of the impact of the Latin Americans on the League itself—and on the many surviving and subsequent multilateral organizations that emerged from the League's ashes? Can we ask not just how the League mattered for Latin America, but also how Latin America mattered for the League and its successors? Doing so allows us to move away from a long-standing scholarly assumption of a one-way transfer of power-knowledge, from the core to the periphery, toward a more multidirectional transnational exchange of ideas and policies. Here, the essays in the volume offer some intriguing insights, and demonstrate that there is much room for further research.
There are, of course, some areas in which skepticism about the impact of Latin America on the League itself is warranted. For instance, Alan McPherson's contributions to the volume demonstrate the many failures of Latin American efforts to press their interests within the organization, including a detailed examination of the failure of the League to address US imperial interventions in Central America and the Caribbean in the organization's early years. This disappointment should perhaps not be surprising, as it has been on questions of collective security where the failures of the League have long been most apparent. McPherson details how, in the context of Woodrow Wilson's insertion of Article 21 into the League Covenant, which protected the validity of the Monroe Doctrine, representatives from Haiti and the Dominican Republic tried in vain to secure protection of their right to self-determination from the League. The fear that, as a Haitian representative to the League put it in 1935, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean could very easily become "the Ethiopia of someone" spoke to the hope that many small member states held that the League might reinforce the protection of small state sovereignty (p. 33). But without US participation in the organization, McPherson argues, League enforcement of collective security for the small countries of the Western Hemisphere was not forthcoming, and the Latin Americans would have to find other fora, particularly within the Inter-American system, for resolving their disputes.
In other aspects of the collective security question, the chapters paint a more complicated story, and there are seemingly contradictory conclusions drawn by, on the one hand, Yannick Werhli's and Fabián Herrera Leon's discussions of the region's less-than-enthusiastic defense of Ethiopia in the face of Italian aggression, and, on the other, Abdiel Oñate's analysis of Mexico's vociferous advocacy of League action to protect Republican Spain while continuing to defend the principles of self-determination and nonintervention. While the reader is left to weigh Herrera Leon's pessimistic conclusions against the perhaps more celebratory judgments of Oñate, it is clear that, in both cases, Mexico mounted a vigorous defense of the principles of the League Covenant, often in the face of their actual application by the League itself. But these Mexican interventions appear to be the exception. In most cases, the Latin American desire to maintain trade relations in Europe and not be drawn into overseas conflicts overrode promises of cooperation on collective security—and this in turn led to efforts to reform the League Covenant itself, in order to protect Latin American interests (though these are not examined at length, and certainly merit further study). But as McPherson writes in the conclusion, "Practically every attempt by Latin Americans to get a resolution passed or even obtain an audience was met with rebuffs from Europeans, other Latin Americans, or the United States, which was not even a member" (p. 262). Indeed, many Latin American countries chose to withdraw from the League rather than continue to be subject to collective security frameworks that might draw them into increasingly likely European conflicts, as Wehrli notes in his chapter. But what was the impact of these failed efforts at reform and subsequent withdrawals within the League? And how did these episodes serve as lessons for the various multilateral agencies that would come later, in the aftermath of the Second World War? These questions would remain unasked in a framework that imagines a unidirectional flow of influence from a powerful European center to a region of only peripheral importance.
The chapters that deal with the so-called technical aspects of the League's mission—those focusing on intellectual, scientific, and economic cooperation, where League activities are judged to have been more successful than in questions of collective security—are less bound by a diffusionist narrative, perhaps because Latin American influence in areas like labor cooperation is more obvious. Examining the International Labor Organization (ILO), Veronique Plata-Stenger describes the organization as initially using its regional conferences to act as a "conveyer belt for the social models it promoted," but after hearing the demands of representatives from the Americas, coming to a series of compromises on, for example, the importance of social insurance (p. 106). Another essay, by Patricio Herrera González, demonstrates how important the advocacy of the Mexican labor leader Vicente Lombardo Toledano was to this effort, even before Mexico became an official member of the ILO. This "back-and-forth" between the ILO and the Latin American representatives, writes Plata-Stenger, "reoriented ILO activities toward new fields of research" (p. 108). The incorporation of the particular perspectives of Latin American workers, then, served to make the "universal" concerns of the International Labor Organization all the more universal. Similarly, in a fascinating essay on the efforts of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation to write a multivolume history of the Americas, Corinne A. Pernet argues that "the contributions of the Latin American intellectuals to these initiatives are too frequently glossed over in accounts that suggest that the League was a vector of worldwide diffusion of European ideas and politics" (p. 137). Letícia Pumar reaches a similar conclusion in her essay on the work of the Brazilian physiologist Miguel Ozório de Almeida, who himself argued for a "two-way movement" of scientific ideas between Latin America and Europe (p. 181).
This kind of advocacy was not always successful, however: José Antonio Sánchez Román's treatment of the attempts by Argentine economist Salvador Oria to force the Provisional Financial and Economic Committee to recognize the special needs of the debtor countries—rather than simply those of European lenders and the corporate interests to which they were tied—is a study in a particularly instructive frustration. But Sánchez Román concludes by arguing that future research should ask not just how participation in these international forums shaped Latin American economic ideas, but also "to what extent were Latin Americans able to shape others' views on global economics through their participation in those organizations?" (p. 218). This question frames an exciting research agenda, not just about the League, but about the various international institutions that would follow its demise. As Amelia Kiddle concludes in her essay on the 1938 Latin American tour undertaken by League undersecretary general Luis Podestá Costa: "a new world order was about to be born, one in which Latin America would be poised to contribute on a deep and meaningful level" (p. 253). Indeed, the internationalist advocacy of Latin American diplomats, economists, and jurists played a significant role in the founding and governance of many the postwar multilateral institutions that would soon be established.
The question of Latin American internationalism is fraught with the tension between the regional and the universal, and this volume valuably demonstrates the many conflicts that arise over, as McPherson puts it, "whether Latin American countries should identify first as a continent or as members of the international community" (p. 261). But this way of describing this tension, embodied in the sometimes overlapping and/or conflicting agendas of, for example, the Pan-American Union and the various bodies of the League, serves to deny that the regional frame is, in fact, already international. Wehrli, for instance, argues that the League was "Latin America's first encounter with multilateralism" (p. 1); this is a questionable chronology given the Latin American campaigning to reform the statutes of the Pan-American Union that had begun in 1914 and would be taken up in earnest at the 1923 meeting at Santiago. It was, I would argue, the parallel international experiences of the Pan-American Union and the League, in fact, that shaped the internationalist outlook of so many of the Latin American representatives examined in these essays. The long history of conflict and contestation within the Pan-American Union in the first half of the twentieth century (a history that is glossed over by conventional wisdoms about the organization's role as a mere multilateral fig-leaf for US pretensions to power) was at least as instructive as the League for Latin American actors—and, perhaps more importantly, even more so for North American ones. It is striking that even those of us who study Latin America continue to insist on discounting multilateral cooperation in the Western Hemisphere and reducing the character of the Pan-American Union to somehow less than international. The essays contained in this vital new collection, however, urge us not only to put the history of Latin American internationalism in conversation with, for example, a dominantly European historiography of international institutions, but also to begin to think more critically about how Latin American cooperation and contestation within the Western Hemisphere itself actively shaped the terrain of internationalist thought and practice in the twentieth century.

Turkey says will retaliate if Syrian army endangers Idlib posts
January 29, 2020 - 12:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Ankara will take decisive retaliatory measures should the Syrian army threaten its observation posts in the Syrian province of Idlib amid an uptick in violence in the region, Turkey's Ministry of National Defence said in a statement on Tuesday, January 28, Sputnik reports.
According to the ministry statement, Syrian government forces are continuing a ground and air offensive despite a January 12 ceasefire. The intensification of hostilities in the region is also causing significant numbers of civilians to flee the region, the statement said.
"Any attempt to endanger the security of our Observation and Control Points operating within the scope of the Astana and Sochi Accords will be responded to in the strongest manner without any hesitation based on the right of self-defence," the statement read.
On Tuesday, a Syrian military source said that government forces regained control of the strategically important city of Maarat al-Numan in Idlib province. The Russian Defence Ministry's centre for Syria reconciliation announced on Saturday that three humanitarian corridors have been opened to provide care for those seeking to leave the Idlib de-escalation zone.
A large portion of the Idlib de-escalation zone, which was one of four safe zones established under an agreement reached at the May 2017 Astana-format talks, is still controlled by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* terrorist group.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a military memorandum in the Russian city of Sochi in October that created an 18-mile safe zone on the Syria-Turkish border and enforced regular military police patrols to facilitate the withdrawal of Kurdish fighters from northern Syria.


Today was a long but exciting day. We began our day early with a long flight to Puerto Rico, which was then followed by a four hour lay over. While in the airport of San Juan, a couple of guys and myself went to margaritaville for a bite to eat and some time to relax, but after that it was back to traveling. We then boarded a plane that was smaller than any commercial airliner I have flown before and enjoyed a beautiful flight to the British Virgin Islands. Once we landed, I could immediately smell and feel the fresh ocean breeze and I was immediately excited for the dives and adventures to come. After we dragged ourselves through customs, we were met at a dock by Casey, who immediately took our spirits from tired to ready for the trip. At the dock, we boarded Casey and Jeff's new boat the Sea Wolf. The Sea Wolf is a massive boat only used for snorkeling and was a recent addition to the Dive BVI equipment. After we got off the boat, we were finally done traveling for the day and we found ourselves on the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda. After we set foot on land, it was back into a vehicle, but this time it was a large taxi, which took us to our final destination, the Guava Berry hotel. Once there, I learned I would be living in the same house with my friends Reece, Bobby, and Cooper. We received our house and we were off to become accommodated with our resting place for the next week. Finally, we ate pizza with Casey and went over the awesome week she has planned for us. After that it was time to write our blogs, and then we will get some rest before and early rise and dive. I am very excited for the many experiences I will have on this trip and the many things I will learn while I'm here.

An interesting and well written historical work .Duke Holm tells it like it was with no embellishments . Amazing how one man could lead a nation into the depravity of the worst human abuse the world has ever seen .
Well written and well researched book on Jackie with the examination of her life in the post assassination world. Seeing her through the lens of a sufferer of PTSD sheds a different take on Jackie. I really enjoyed this viewpoint and agree wholeheartedly with the idea. The information presented is new and even information widely known has a new take. Read, learn, and enjoy!
My children enjoys this story each and every time thru hear it. I love the fact their learning while exploring the guy's adventures. Great way to inspire!
Wood working is one kind of art but to do this you must introduce with the equipment needed for it. This book will show you the basic equipment for wood working along with some simple patterns to try it at home. So you will be able to make crafts for your home decoration and also for making money.
I have completed several of the projects in this book. As an experienced woodworker on a restricted budget (yes I have a spouse) I've found the projects not only good value substitutes, but often superior too commercially available equipment.
This is the most useful cookbook if you own an air fryer. Lots of recipes, but most importantly there's a section in the front that provides guidelines for meats, vegetables and more. This cookbook will make you love your air fryer even more!
All blockchain books combined in a single bundle. Four books, four times the value! Book 1: Blockchain is an often-misunderstood technology. But what is it? How do you use it?

Netflix's zomcom Santa Clarita Diet is back with Season three! To celebrate, the stars of the show hit the red carpet last night for a premiere event, and while there, they stopped to chat with SYFY FANGRRLS about becoming immortal, subverting tropes, and the love between the characters on the show.
As we saw in the latest trailer, one of the central plot lines in the upcoming season is whether or not Joel will let Sheila bite him so they can live together forever (awwwww), so FANGRRLS asked some of the show's stars whether or not they'd choose to be immortal. Skyler Gisondo, who plays Eric, said he'd totally do it.
"You'd get a lot done. You'd eat a lot of tacos. You'd read a lot of books. See a lot of movies. See a lot of history," Gisondo said.
Can you say #relatable? Meanwhile, Malcolm Barrett (Timeless), who is a new addition to the series this season, said he wouldn't want to stick around this planet forever: "I just got to die, man. I don't have time for all of this. This is a lot."
He may be a newcomer, but Barrett said he knew what he was getting himself into when he signed on.
"I love the talent involved, I love [creator] Victor Fresco. I love seeing zombies and comedy and sort of... You know he has a really natural way of flipping suburban tropes on their head. You know what I mean? He's done that with Dinosaurs and Better Off Ted and he's just really good about that. So I immediately connected with the role."
Naturally, we also had to ask Olyphant whether or not Sheila and Joel would be improving their murder game in Season three. After all, they did make some modifications in Season two with the addition of a storage space dedicated to murders — but they did still keep some dead people in their home freezer, which seems risky. Olyphant told us they've made some improvements.
"Will they be better at it? Well they've gotten pretty good at it," said Olyphant. "Yeah, I think they've got it down. I mean they're not great, they're just... the problem is every time they get better at one thing the stakes keep getting raised and they've got bigger problems."
Over the course of two seasons, Eric and Abby's relationship has been in flux. But could Season three be the one when they finally get together? Gisondo was coy in his answer.
"We may. We may not. You never know. I feel like their friendship, they care a lot about each other and their friendship has grown and evolved a lot," he said. "They thought for a minute they were towing that line, and then they weren't. I think in my mind they have a secret agreement they'll get married when they're 30. But for now, it always seems like there's too much going on to think about, 'Hey, are we gonna be boyfriend and girlfriend ...' It's more just caring about each other, being good to each other and seeing what develops organically."
Joel and Sheila's relationship seems pretty solid and is key to hoping for them to stay out of jail despite the fact that they're, uh, murderers. Luckily, Joel is Sheila's biggest cheerleader, and Olyphant took a moment to praise Barrymore for her work as well.
"You know, she's just so willing to just embarrass herself, and that's kind of what the job calls for but it's very difficult to actually do that," he said. "And it's very refreshing to be around someone who's so willing to be vulnerable or to put herself in what is not necessarily the most flattering light. Because it's real, and it's very appreciated. You don't come across it that often."
Part of the reason why Barrymore is so able to throw herself into the role could be because Barrymore's best friend, Cameron Diaz, said that Sheila reminds her of Barrymore more than any other character she's played.
"I think Sheila is a real delight," said Barrymore. "And she's empowered, and she's funny, and she likes to grab life by the balls and wants to show everyone that they could have everything that they want. But at the same time, she just wants to love and protect those that she loves. There's such a strange dichotomy of like badassery and protective loyalty in this show."
Santa Clarita Diet skillfully balances the line between gory, heartfelt, and absurd. It's refreshing to see a show take on zombies and the undead in a comedic way. Plus, a middle-aged woman is the central character of this zombie comedy. The more you think about it, the more groundbreaking and unique it seems to see a show like this on its third season. When questioned about a lack of females leading comedies on television, Barrymore thinks women are killing the comedy game.
"I think actually women are doing incredible in comedy right now and this is a great time for women," said Barrymore. "Without even the debate of man versus women, I just think this is a very cool, rich time for women. As much as I appreciate when women display their talent in drama because that is an important art, and I'm a Barrymore and I can talk generational loyalty to the art of that — I like a funny girl.
"And if any guy is out on a date with a girl and she's just too serious, I don't believe that he's having the best date. Everybody wants a girl with a sense of humor. I think you want a girl who also has like peace and groundedness and her priorities in the right place. I don't know, I feel like I got to do all those things in this character, so for me, I just bit right into it and never looked back."
Season three of Santa Clarita Diet is now available on Netflix.

Q: All browsers work in different ways in determining the positions Hi i have the big problem is that all browsers positioning differently.
Each template in the center of the other shows do not represent correctly.
Say When a person opens the site instead of the template.
One side shows less over another.
I did some work at my computer it all works in all browsers.
I do not understand what I was doing wrong the first time for me after all this is so.
I tried the other browsers and fonts and change the screen size.
Does not fix the problem.
Why is this happening for all browsers ?
Also tried to use position: absolute, but nothing works, too.
Maybe you can look at my website and see what you see it correctly or in bad what I am doing wrong and why it works for me correctly using a different position: absolute or relative or all browsers ?
just on the other computers browsers do not show correctly positions
Here is my code can you fix it cuz i didn't understand what where to create div container inside wrap or where ?

Ask Mike Shew for Small Business Owner Advice. Mike is a 5-Time Past Business Owner.
Those Who Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail and For Some Insane Reason, it is Guaranteed In this Universe.
Strategic planning defined by Webster's dictionary: necessary to or essential in the initiation, conduct, or completion of a strategic plan, or a method for achieving an end. As a business owner, do you shoot from the hip minute by minute every day? You the business owner may know your mission, vision, and the long-term plans of your company. How do inexperienced staff or new hires understand what you are thinking today compared to yesterday? Why would your team want to invest 20 years of their working life in your small business? What is in it for them, retirement, long-term career, health insurance, advancement, or more money? As you bring on increasingly more staff, your business requires infrastructure for onboarding.
Yet, 99%+ companies have a Strategic Plan.
The business structure built by the company up front allows for employee growth and continued support for the mission of the owner(s). Think about creating a structure within the business (robust framework), so it becomes a living breathing entity to keep growing to the next level. First, we develop a strategic plan built out with five-year financial projections (where are we going?). We add elements for advertising, marketing, and an e-commerce strategy and each department within the business. The strategic plan is developed around the mission and vision of your company.
Use our Mission Statement to create your small business mission.
We support small businesses with accurate research and business owner experience; with the overall business structure developed in the beginning to save business owner(s) valuable time, financial resources, to move forward instead of three steps back.
A clear example: Instead of writing an article on CRM's and posting it in a comparison format. We use the "Theory of Constraints" first and foremost to draft an informative article on ERP systems due to some ERP systems possessing CRM's embedded within them. What does that do for the business owner? It saves you time, money, and using the software you already invested money, time, and paid staff data input. So, you can move forward and not go back to the strategy board to figure out how to synchronize all your software systems.
The online business dictionary defines strategic planning as: (1) outlines an organization's overall direction, philosophy, and purpose, (2) examines its current status in terms of its strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats (see SWOT Analysis), (3) sets long-term objectives, and (4) formulates short-term tactics to reach them.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about Strategic Innovation and Planning. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to become a donor, so we do not fail to plan.
Back to our strategic plan, you completed your current state analysis by using the S.W.O.T. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and the P.E.S.T.E.L analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, & Environmental) for your business departments and the global economic outlook. Finding hidden concerns with both of the planning tools can help you overcome unforeseen future problems which you can now be prepared for by planning well in advance. Is your business prepared for emergencies like fire, active shooter, natural disaster?
With your analysis in hand, you and each department lead get together and begin compiling your strategic plan information. What do we do and how do we do it? Who are our customers? How do we excel at what we do? What is holding us back? What does each department do in operational processes? What does each department need: software, staff, tools, and potential resources? Develop Goals, Policies, and Tactics, projections for each strategy defined. Create a plan (use whiteboards in an area free of distractions) that creates a directional roadmap that guides day-to-day decisions, which leads to desired measured outcomes. The approach is the responsibility of senior management to develop and implement the long-term business strategy. Reverberate the mission statement to directors, supervisors, and managers, so it is reiterated among the entire crew, who do most of the production work.
How do we excel at what we do?
3. Where do we want to be?
4. How are we going to get there?
You can use a Quality Management System in place of a strategic plan. An excellent Quality Management System (QMS) is ISO 9001:2015, and the ISO 9001:2015 requirements provide a set of standard elements that will guide you in the implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS). The requirements are designed to apply to any company in any industry both production and service based, and the requirements tell you what elements are mandatory in a QMS, but not how to implement these necessary elements. Some companies request that you be 9001:2015 registered and that will put more revenue in your pocket.
The ISO 9001:2015 requirements are separated into eight sections (called ISO 9001 clauses), five of which contain mandatory requirements for a QMS: general Quality Management System requirements (clause 4), Management Responsibility (clause 5), Resource Management (clause 6), Product Realization (clause 7), and Measurement, Analysis and Improvement (clause 8). All elements of these five clauses are mandatory except for the Product Realization section, which allows for a company to exclude portions that are not applicable to their business practice.
Clauses 1 through 3 include no requirements but instead deal with the scope of the standard, references to understand the rule better, and terms and definitions. Next time we will discuss risk migration which is covered actively in ISO 9001:2015 which ties into continuity planning and Strategic Management: A Customer Value-Based Model.

Just a quick heads up about goings on this weekend in Sydney this Easter weekend (sorry everyone else :( but you really should be living here.) Let's have a fun fun fun few days!
Thursday is Egg Hunt at Fringe Bar which does indeed include an egg hunt. Hott luneup with sterling locals Sleater Brockman, The Inappropriates, Mehow, Tyson and a handful of others. Email me your name, whoever's first gets a double freebie. Seriously, go see the Inappropriates (with MC Gaff E) and marvel at the extravagance. An excellent way to kick off the festivities!
Friday if you're really keen there's the Ladylux annual boat cruise with Carl Kennedy and Garry Todd. Personally I'll be recouping but the music and vibe should be great.
Saturday, HAHA Industries are putting on a warehouse party *somewhere* which can't be anything short of 'YESSSSSS'. Their night last year with Tim Sweeney was my best night out of 08, perhaps this will be a contender for 09? Keep an eye on the website, not sure when they're announcing the venue.
Sunday is We Had Parties which is the annual ridiculous mash of Purple Sneakers, Starfuckers, Hot Damn, Ro Sham Bo, etc etc etc. over about 800 rooms with 300 million people at the Exchange Hotel. Numbers may not be accurate but it's still a pretty massive party.
And for those of you who this post doesn't have any relevance to, here's a yummy easter egg apology. Be happy!
thinking Sunday is going to be masssive, from memory its like only 20 bucks....get down there people is going to be crazy!!!!!!!
yuck. that would leave a pretty bad taste in my mouth..
hey wow thanks for putting ssssound on your blog list!
